Trump is Pushing the Sunshine Protection Act to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent. Here’s Why

Posted by on October 3, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 0 Comments :

It isn’t often that Donald Trump comes out in favor of something that has bipartisan support. Ordinarily he is laser focused on backing, or even purposely creating, issues that divide the American people. He likes nothing better than to set up phony political confrontations in which he can try to demonize Democrats.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

So it may come as some surprise that Trump is enthusiastically backing the Sunshine Protection Act (SPA) that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. The bill has already passed in the House, and likely has the votes to pass in the Senate as well. Of course, any assumption that Trump is actually concerned about the welfare of the people or the nation is wildly off base.

SEE THIS: OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Trump revealed why he is supporting the SPA in a comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social on Saturday morning. His remarks were typically longwinded and barely coherent, saying in part that…

“Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! […] Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. […] Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton…Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

However that was not the revealing part. Trump’s post also included a copy of a letter that he received from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour. Rolapp’s letter included the following argument in favor of passing the SPA (emphasis added)…

“The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) estimates that permanent DST would generate 23 million additional rounds per year and $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the golf industry — an average of $250,000 per facility. The NGCOA has also found that afternoon and evening tee times generate roughly 40 percent more revenue than morning play.”

A billion dollars a year for golf course owners. And it’s surely just a coincidence that Trump owns eleven golf resorts in the United States. That’s a pretty strong financial incentive to support making Daylight Saving Time permanent. And it would explain why Trump is badgering his fellow Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, to get him to drop his opposition. Although Cotton doesn’t seem particularly eager to comply with Trump’s demands…

Cotton’s rebuttal isn’t very persuasive. If he’s afraid that Arkansans will have to wake up before sunrise, or send their kids to school in the dark, all they would have to do is change the hours that they do those things. For instance, start school an hour later in the winter. Then the entire nation of more than 360,000,000 doesn’t have to change their clocks, and tolerate earlier sunsets, just to accommodate those parents of young children.

There are arguments on both sides of the DST debate. Some doctors say that Standard Time is healthier. But that’s offset by the health risks caused by the biannual changing of the clocks, which include higher rates of heart attacks and strokes, more auto accidents in the darkened evening hours when there is more traffic, and the environmental harm done by increased use of energy for lighting and heating when the sun sets earlier.

While there are much more important issues that need to be addressed, this one presents a rare opportunity for a bipartisan accord on a matter that people care about. And coming right before a critical election makes it all the more significant. And it even has Trump’s support, albeit for selfish reasons.

However, it’s being hung up by a Republican who suddenly isn’t afraid to defy Dear Leader. These MAGA Republicans go along with Trump on virtually everything, such as waging an illegal war against Iran, protecting pedophiles associated with Jeffrey Epstein, backing inflationary tariffs, and building monuments to exalt our Narcissist-in-Chief. But on this issue Sen. Cotton has summoned the courage to stand up to Trump?

The Republican Party really does seem determined to convince the American people that they are weak-kneed nut cases who need to be voted out of office as soon as possible. And fortunately, the people will have that opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can give Cotton a call at the number helpfully provided by Trump if you want to keep Daylight Saving time.

Fox News is SHOCKED By James Talarico’s 7 Point Lead Over Ken Paxton for the Senate in Texas

Posted by on October 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The desperation of frantic Republicans is growing by the day as the American people prepare to vote in the midterm elections. Donald Trump and his MAGA comrades are bracing for disaster, while shoveling political manure in the fleeting hopes of avoiding the blowout that they privately know is inevitable.

Fox News Sad

Early voting has already begun in some states. And with most polls predicting a massive blue wave washing out GOP candidates once thought to be shoe-ins, panic is setting in for Trump and his MAGA comrades nationwide. Their response is to invent preposterous attacks on Democrats, who they vainly try to portray as communists, and to send Trump out to shore up votes, despite his record low standing with the general public.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Naturally, Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is doing their part to rig the election. On Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox and Friends, co-host Ainsley Earhardt (also Sean Hannity’s fiancé) interviewed fellow Fox Newser, and MAGA sports geek, Clay Travis, to get his predictably biased opinion on the unfolding race for the Senate in Texas between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton. It went something like this…

Earhardt: If you look at that Fox News poll, he [Talarico] is ahead by seven points – IN THE STATE OF TEXAS! How is that possible?
Travis: Texans have to wake up. I think sometimes, when you have seen Republicans win for generations, a lot of people out there just don’t think at all that Democrats are capable of winning in the state.

Earhardt’s confusion about how a Democrat can win in Texas could be resolved by informing her that Trump has a negative approval rating in virtually every state, and his disapproval in Texas is at 57%. And yet, according to Travis, the problem is only that “Texans have to wake up.” So now the MAGA-tists are in favor of being “woke”?

Furthermore, Democrats frequently win in Texas, including Talarico, who is currently a sitting member of the Texas House of Representatives. Also, Texas has sent 13 Democrats to Washington, D.C. to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. So maybe these Fox News flunkies shouldn’t be so surprised. Nor should they bother to offer incoherent excuses like this one from Travis…

“Now, I watch a lot of football. I watch a lot of sports. Every single game that I am watching I am seeing Republican ads dominating. I think that Republicans have held their proverbial cash until the last moment and they are now delivering overwhelming amounts of dollars into the playing field.”

Well, that settles it. Republicans will surely prevail in November after dumping a lot of money into sports program ads in the last few weeks of the election. Because the American people will forget about their economic struggles and vote the party the caused them, and that started an illegal war, and that imposed inflationary tariffs, etc., after seeing a bunch of 30 second ads that interrupt their sporting events viewing.

Travis is praising Republicans for having hoarded their “proverbial cash” (whatever the hell that is) until after Democrats have already defined themselves and their opponents. And now he says they will unleash a barrage of commercials that will reverse the Democrats’ momentum on the playing field. Because after all, Fox News believes that Talarico’s seven point lead still marks this as a “tight” race…

What a brilliant strategy. And it just might work if Democrats decide to stay home and not vote. So this is not the time to become overconfident. It is time to renew your commitment to preserving democracy and fighting for working class families. Stay woke. And make sure that everyone you know casts their ballot, early if possible. Volunteer if you can. We can make Trump the lamest of ducks, and his SICKO-phants at Fox News even more perplexed and depressed.

Trump’s Absolutely BONKERS Interview with Time Affirms that His Brain Has Turned to Mush

Posted by on October 1, 2026 at 4:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The most media averse president in American history, Donald Trump, has just given an interview to TIME, another news organization that he considers to be “fake news.” And yet, he still whines annually when he doesn’t grace their cover as “Person of the Year.”

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

The new interview is a long and tedious read that weaves aimlessly through a variety of issues including “the war in Iran, the artificial intelligence boom, the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, and his outlook for the midterms.” But there is almost nothing newsworthy in the whole thing because Trump just dodges the questions he’s asked, and wanders off into unrelated matters that fulfill his obsession with exalting himself. Which is typical of Trump, a malignant narcissist who has always had a tenuous connection to reality.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

After wading through the lengthy barrage of bullshit, it was clear that there is nothing left of whatever cognitive capacity Trump possessed. His answers barely touched on the subject matter of the questions. But they predictably concluded with effusive praise for himself. The full transcript of the interview is here, for those with time on their hands and strong stomachs. But this article will just address the portion of the interview where Trump discussed the media.

Time’s staff began with a question about his recent banning of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering certain presidential events because he didn’t like how they covered him. His ban was a blatant violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, which a federal court affirmed and ordered Trump to revoke the ban.

QUESTION: Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you’re restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?
TRUMP: Because I do respect the free press, but I don’t respect fake news. I’ll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election [then rants about winning elections that he didn’t win, by margins that he never reached] It’s very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven’t had a good story on CNN for years. They’re incapable of being—they’re fake news. Same thing on MS NOW. […]

I don’t believe in fake news. And I know it’s fake because I know the thing—I don’t mind, you know, if I do something wrong, I don’t mind having a bad story…I’m in the Oval Office. I mean, the public is very smart. If I wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won that election by a lot.

It’s preposterous for Trump to claim that he respects the free press that he banned. But he didn’t remain on that topic for long. He quickly diverted to bragging about his imaginary electoral successes, including having won 86% of the popular vote For the record, Trump never won anywhere near 86%. In 2024 he won 49.8% of the vote, just 1.5% more than Kamala Harris.

Then Trump wrapped up by noting that if he “wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won.” Let’s see how he approaches that after the midterm elections in November that his MAGA Party is predicted to lose, and whether he still thinks then that “the public is very smart.”

Trump then complained about a judge that he said was “very anti-Trump,” who ruled that his banning of the free press was unconstitutional. That judge was appointed by Trump. He was reminded of that and was asked whether he would comply with the ruling. His response suggests that he doesn’t even know what a ruling is.

QUESTION: You don’t think you’re ignoring what he ordered you to do? You don’t think you’re ignoring his order?
TRUMP: No, I’m not. I’m not ignoring his order. I’m just saying that when I don’t have to go out of my way, these people write only bad stories. When they say orders, what order? I’m not even aware.

So Trump says that he isn’t ignoring the court’s order, he just isn’t going to comply with it because he doesn’t know what what it is. See? That isn’t insane at all, is it? Nor is it wackadoodle to explain why he’s banning the media by complaining that a reporter is allegedly unhappy, as he does in his next response.

QUESTION: Can I just ask, why now? You’ve had this contentious relationship with the media for a while. What was the impetus to doing this at this moment in time?
TRUMP: Well, it’s just bad story after bad story…I don’t think anybody should be forced to bear fake news, constantly bad stories, because I’ve done great things….So at a certain point, you say, “What’s the purpose of like this crazy Kaitlan Collins?” She’s a very average person. She’s the most unhappy young person I’ve ever seen.

Trump’s problem with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is that she doesn’t smile when she’s asking him questions about serious subjects. Although he has never asked any male reporters to smile more. And this is his reason for banning CNN? That actually doesn’t comport with a different reason he gave recently…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

The national security excuse is one that Trump has been leaning on lately. He has used it to justify the building of his vanity ballroom and his triumphal arch. Even worse, he’s threatening to use it to justify declaring martial law in order to steal the election. None which makes any sense at all. It’s just further proof that his mind was turned to cottage cheese and that he needs to be institutionalized for his own safety and that of the nation, and the world. ASAP!

Deranged Trump FREAKS OUT: Says Fox News Gives More Airtime to Democrats than MAGA Sicko-phants

Posted by on September 30, 2026 at 3:38 pm. 0 Comments :

The love/hate relationship that Donald Trump has with the media is textbook case of malignant Narcissism. He desperately needs to be the center of attention at all times, while simultaneously demanding that all references to him be worshipful.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

The result of this psychotic dichotomy is that Trump is constantly in a state of high anxiety because he simply can’t tolerate not having the unflinching adoration he craves from 24/7 press coverage. He responds to this by inventing a world wherein he is universally beloved, despite the reality in which he is floundering at record lows of public approval. In his world that is all “fake news.”

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Trump’s derangement sometimes manifests in uniquely bizzarre ways. For example, on Wednesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that directly attacked his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Apparently he woke up to something on TV that was less than sufficiently adoring, so he raged that…

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!”

Let’s set aside the ludicrous notion that Fox News shouldn’t ever have the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate on the air. Trump is also disturbed that Fox gives airtime to Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal on their radically partisan right-wing panel program, The Five.

More to the point is that Trump believes that there should never be any criticism of him or his MAGA GOP comrades on Fox News. Even more ridiculous, he believes that Fox actually gives more airtime to his Democratic critics than to his wingnut cult devotees. And if that isn’t crazy enough, he also thinks that because of that preposterous analysis, the ultra-conservatives who venerate him “will never like Fox!” Who does he think is watching? That is, besides him.

Trump offers as validation of his anti-Fox commentary the lie that he “won all three elections.” By that he is including the election of 2020, that he lost. But in his mind his imaginary winning streak is evidence that something is wrong with the media, because he manages to prevail even though everybody is against him. Poor paranoid baby.

What we know for sure is that Trump is not unaware of the overwhelming support he gets from Fox News. Every single program host – Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Will Cain, Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld, and the the “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends – are certified Trump-fluffers.

And yet Trump’s dementia produces the illusion that Fox News is a network where “they repeat a completely negative narrative,” and “the opposition is enormous.” With mental impairment that severe, there is really nothing left to say. Except that it is imperative that Trump be diminished in power for the remaining time that he occupies the White House.

Which is where every voter in America comes in. Since we can’t rely on Republicans in Congress to act responsibly, we must vote them all out. Early voting begins in the next week in many places. And November is just around the corner. Make a plan to vote, and take your friends and family with you.

GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Posted by on September 29, 2026 at 11:03 am. 0 Comments :

With the midterm election now only about one month away, the Trump regime is getting more desperate to turn around the abysmal prospects predicted for Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates. And as Trump becomes more desperate, he becomes more unhinged.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

Virtually every poll shows that Democrats are heading toward blowout victories that could wind up with them in the majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Those polls also show that Trump is trailing Democrats on just about all of the issues that Americans regard as most important, including the economy and Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

In a bid to prevent the Trump Titanic from sinking, his former Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, visited Fox News to deliver what she must have thought would be good news for her fellow Republicans (video below). She said that…

“I was with the president today, checking in with our friend and my old boss, and I will tell you he is ready to hit the road. He will be on the road almost every single day in the month of October, campaigning for Republicans up and down the ballot, and drawing this contrast between the common sense vision that he shares with Republicans on Capitol Hill, and the far-left vision of the radical Democrats who are on the ballot who we cannot allow control of this city.”

HOORAY! So while the nation is embroiled in the war that Trump started – and is losing – in Iran, and while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, Trump will be devoting his time and energy to campaigning for his MAGA comrades. That is if he can tear himself away from his pet projects to build a vanity ballroom and invade Greenland.

The best part of this news is that any attention that Trump gives to Republican candidates will probably make them less likely to prevail in November. That’s why many of them are asking him to stay away. and if he shows up uninvited, they don’t attend the event with him. The only people happier about Trump’s promise to campaign are Democrats nationwide.

However, Leavitt wasn’t finished with her pathetic propagandizing. She added some commentary on her views of what Democrats stand for. And it was as bizarre a spectacle as you can imagine. She enumerated policies that Democrats never held, and which were actually completely fabricated, over-the-top bullshittery. And she had the gall to declare at the end of her harangue that it was “not an exaggeration.”

“Over the next 35 days Republicans – and I know president Trump is going to do it – must ruthlessly prosecute the Democrats as who they are. Extreme, far-left liberals who want to destroy our economy, want to take away your private property, raise your taxes, take your hard-earned money, abolish prisons, abolish police, open our borders to insane people all over this world, and end America as we know her and love her. That is not an exaggeration.”

SERIOUSLY! Do you remember when Democrats promised to “destroy our economy,” and “take away your private property,” and “abolish prisons,” and “open our borders to insane people”? Yeah, neither does anyone else. And if this is the caliber of campaigning that Trump will be engaging in for the next month, Democrats are going to need a venue even bigger than Trump’s giant ballroom to hold their post-election celebration.

That said, take nothing for granted. Be sure to vote and get all of your friends and family to vote. We can’t just rely on the stupidity of Trump and Republicans, no matter how reliable that is.

OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Posted by on September 28, 2026 at 2:54 pm. 1 Comments :

The second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump has achieved something remarkable that anyone not in a coma could have predicted. He has managed to make this term even worse than the catastrophe over which he presided during his first term. And he’s proud of it.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump with Earth, Globe, warming, climate change

Trump’s return engagement was marked for failure early on. He stacked his cabinet with fiercely sycophantic flunkies who had little to no experience or qualifications for jobs they were given. Consequently we have an alcoholic Fox News host serving as the Secretary of War Crimes, a heroin addict who doesn’t believe in vaccines as Secretary of Health, Trump’s personal criminal defense lawyer serving as Attorney General, and at least twenty MAGA cult disciples who were recruited from Fox News.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

The resulting disasters should not surprise anybody. We are mired in the eighth month of a war against Iran that Trump said would last only a few weeks. The economy is a mess with a $40 trillion debt and the American people struggling to make ends meet. New outbreaks of disease and food recalls are announced daily. Trump has been granted near blanket immunity by his radical right-wingers on the Supreme Court. No wonder his approval ratings are at record lows as we approach the midterm election. Even Fox News can’t completely ignore it anymore.

MORE HERE: Fox News Poll Says ‘Democrats Are Considered the Party that Would Better Handle…’ EVERYTHING!

If you think it seems like Trump and his regime are doing everything they can to help Democrats win in November, you aren’t wrong. Trump recently rejected an offer from Iran to end the war. He’s kissing up to brutal dictators like Xi Jinping of China, while chastising faithful allies like Canada. And on Monday he bragged about keeping his promises to – um – raise your gas bills and foul the air?

Trump’s Rapid Response account on Twitter/X posted a comment that said “PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT: Trump rolls back car efficiency standards.” The comment linked to an article in The Hill that reported that…

“The Trump administration has rolled back car fuel efficiency [CAFE] standards requiring automakers to ensure their cars and light trucks were using less fuel. […]

“The administration argued that this would make cars cheaper, though opponents of the move point out that car owners could spend more on gasoline as a result. The change could also lead to more pollution and worsen climate change.”

WINNING? This is what the Trump regime regards as a “promise kept” that is worthy of boasting about? Do they think that the American people are going to appreciate this policy change that Trump is making on his own, without the support of the people or Congress or science?

For the record, Trump, who says that climate change is a hoax, previously lowered the CAFE target to 40 miles per gallon from the Obama era target of 54. Biden raised it back to 50. Now Trump is proposing to lower it even farther down to 35 MPG. Although he may encounter some obstacles. While he appears to be ignoring the administrative procedures required to make these changes, he won’t be able to so easily wave off the likely court challenges.

It’s interesting to note that if Trump’s followers actually read the article to which he linked (doubtful), they might get a different story than the fairy tale that Trump is telling. The Hill quoted Dan Becker, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s Safe Climate Transport Campaign, saying that…

“Consumers will pay the price for these reckless rollbacks while Trump’s Big Oil and Big Auto buddies reap the short-term profits. This move spells short- and long-term disaster for people’s health, the planet, and even U.S. automakers who’ll sit on the sidelines while clean cars advance around the world.”

If Trump’s regulations remain in place, it will insure that everyone will be paying more for gas, because they will be using more of it. And that bill is coming due right as gas prices are climbing to new heights. Simultaneously, Trump’s plan will cause more pollution, resulting in more expenses related to health care and lost work time. Not to mention the human misery.

But never fear…Trump believes that this is another promise that he kept. The only problem is that it was a promise made to the oil industry and auto manufacturers so that they could rake in more profits at the expense of the working class Americans that Trump couldn’t care less about.

The good news is that those people will soon be keeping their own promise to throw Trump’s MAGA-tists out of office and restore common sense – and sanity – to the government.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, Flat Out Lies About Trump Denying Access to the Media

Posted by on September 27, 2026 at 3:18 pm. 0 Comments :

When Donald Trump publicly announced that he was banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House and other presidential media locales, he was immediately swamped with criticism for his blatant breach of the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of press freedom.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Todd Blanche puppet

True to form, Trump didn’t care because he has no respect for the Constitution or the cherished principles that it embodies. And that’s especially true of his aversion to the free press that he regularly refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” Despite his craven addiction to getting constant attention, he has an open hostility to the media that provides it.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

On Sunday morning Trump’s Attorney General and criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, was on ABC’s This Week to demonstrate just how loyally sycophantic he is to his MAGA cult leader Trump. Of course many of Trump’s minions are flaming sycophants, so that isn’t particularly surprising. But when the subject of Trump’s ban on the media came up, Blanche proved that he is in a class all his own. He said that…

“Well, the president hasn’t denied access. That’s not the right way to describe it. What the president has said is that he is sick and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report accurate news. It is a privilege to be in the White House for anybody, and the president knows that. It’s the people’s house. […]

“The unfortunate and sad thing here is that after years and years and years of one-sided media coverage of the president from certain outlets, the president finally said it’s not fair to the American people…Being in the White House is a privilege; it’s not a right.”

REALLY? So when Trump denied access to the media he wasn’t denying access? He was merely “sick and tired of certain media outlets” so he prohibited them from entering the White House. See how different that is? Blanche just declared that entering the White House is a privilege, not a right, and Trump can decide who gets the privilege. And he can base his decision on whether he is sick of certain outlets.

For the record, it is wrong to describe access to the White House as either a privilege or a right. It is mandated by law that the Supreme Court has affirmed, wherein if access is given to the media, it may not be revoked based on viewpoint discrimination.

Blanche’s comments in this interview actually confirm that Trump’s denial of access is unlawful. He admits that Trump made his decision due to his opinion that some reporting was allegedly not accurate. In Trump’s mind that means he disagreed with it, or that it was truthful and made him look bad. And Blanche has the gall to frame it as Trump wanting to be fair to the American people. By censoring the media?

In the same interview Blanche awkwardly tried to frame Trump’s media ban as a “national security issue.” Then he whined that Trump’s words were being taken seriously. No, really. When he was told that Trump complained that the media “want to try to diminish Republicans,” Blanche had a peculiar rebuttal that essentially argued that people shouldn’t listen to what Trump says…

Clearly there is a problem with the Attorney General who still sees himself as representing Trump, rather than the American people or the Constitution. And while he is only one of Trump’s Cabinet flunkies who feel that way, he is the one with the judicial system under his control. Furthermore, his comments regarding the media are way out of his lane. But then there hasn’t been a press secretary for several weeks since Karoline Leavitt resigned. Maybe Blanche is aiming to add that job to his portfolio.

WINNING? Trump Rejects Deal From Iran Because it Gives Him Exactly What He’s Been Asking For

Posted by on September 26, 2026 at 2:46 pm. 2 Comments :

The reckless and illegal war against Iran that Donald Trump started eight months ago is still in progress despite Trump’s repeated claims – at least a couple of dozen times – that he had defeated Iran seven months ago. So the war that he said wouldn’t last more than a few weeks has now been going on for more than half a year.

Trump baby with Iran map

The consequences of Trump’s war are tragic for Iran, who has suffered thousands of civilian fatalities. It has been tragic for the 18 American troops who were killed, and hundreds more wounded. It has been tragic for the other Middle East nations that were drawn into the conflict. And it has been devastating for the American people who are struggling to make ends meet due to the war’s impact on the oil trade and resulting increases on everything from gas, to groceries, to healthcare, to housing, and more. And Trump has no idea how to get out of it.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

On Saturday morning Trump was asked about a new proposal by Iran to end the war. They promised an immediate ceasefire, a complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and negotiations on ending their nuclear weapons programs, including allowing access for United Nations nuclear inspectors. Trump’s response was a blunt and hostile “NO!”

“I’m rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because they are losing so badly. You don’t see that in the fake news. We’re winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait. Massive amounts of oil are coming out of the Hormuz Strait, Last night we had 29 ships come out.

“They want to make a deal and I think that’s fine. I like making a deal too. But that deal would not be acceptable. What they want to do is immediately open the Hormuz Strait. You know why? Because they’re dying. You know why they’re dying? Because they have no money coming in. Because they get their money from the Hormuz Strait.”

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately … we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait … that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

Don’t bother trying to make sense of this tirade. Trump is rejecting the deal that gives him exactly what he has been asking for: opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Which he has also been saying is totally open. But also that it is being closed under the control of the U.S. Therefore, he’s turning down the deal because he’s “winning tremendously”?

For the record, Trump is lying about the “massive amounts of oil” coming out of the Strait. It’s actually down about 85% from pre-war volume. And 29 ships is about 10% of the traffic that went through before the war. Trump is also claiming that Iran is “dying” for lack of money, not because of the military assault waged by Trump, that he previously claimed had “obliterated” their army, navy, and air force.

So why would Trump reject a deal that gave him precisely what he has been asking for? Perhaps because he’s also lying about Iran having been been defeated. Perhaps because Trump has no cards to play, and submitting to the deal offered by Iran just makes him look weak. Especially because it’s a deal that returns us to exactly where we were before the war began, and under the terms of the deal brokered by the Obama administration that Trump tore up.

Trump is in a bind here. If he agrees to Iran’s deal, he reveals just how ineffective and incompetent he is. If he rejects it he remains embroiled in a war that the American people oppose and want him to end. And all of this is going down within five weeks of the consequential midterm elections that polls indicate will be a political bloodbath for Trump and his MAGA Republican Party.

It’s a lose-lose proposition for Trump and the GOP. But there are brighter days ahead for the American people if they remain focused and committed to change. Trump’s Reign of Error will be hampered if Democrats win majorities in Congress. And Trump will have to suffer through the final two years of his term as the lamest of ducks. LFG!

Fox News Anti-Commie Hosts Join Trump at State Dinner Honoring Communist China’s President Xi

Posted by on September 25, 2026 at 3:54 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2026 midterm election is expected to reap the rewards of a massive Blue Wave of victories by Democrats over Republicans struggling to crawl out from under the rubble that their Dear Leader, Donald Trump has piled on top of them.

Fox News Commies

Trump has managed wreck to the economy, thrust the nation into a war with Iran that he’s losing, alienate our allies, and undermine democracy. Which doesn’t leave much for Republicans to run on. The dearth of viable campaign strategies for the MAGA GOP has left them babbling that Democrats are actually communists plotting to takeover and destroy America. And if you think that’s crazy…

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

This week Trump welcomed China’s president, Xi Jinping, to the White House for a summit of some sort that had no real agenda or objectives. It’s purpose seemed to be purely for PR in advance of the November election. And affirming that is the fact that nothing was accomplished and no agreements were made, other than announcing that they would meet again in the future.

What’s more, the hollow theatrics of the affair was further borne out by the guest list that included many of Trump’s sycophantic political allies, a swarm of tech billionaires, and one other group of MAGA devotees who represented a key constituency for Trump. As reported by the Daily Beast…

“Some of Fox News’s biggest-name hosts have set aside their red-baiting to hang out at the White House with the world’s most powerful communist dictator.

“China’s Xi Jinping is in America at the invitation of President Donald Trump, who staged a lavish state dinner at taxpayers’ expense on Thursday evening.

“Tech billionaires including SpaceX’s Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg packed the VIP guest list.

“Also invited were Fox News stars Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, and Bret Baier, despite the president’s favorite network repeatedly parroting his anti-communist rhetoric ahead of the midterm elections.”

That’s right, nearly the entire roster of Fox’s primetime lineup was at Trump’s party for Xi. These are people who spend most of their time on the air trying to resurrect the “red scare” of the 1950s. They endlessly complain that communism is evil and is about to dominate the planet thanks to Democratic office holders and candidates in the United States. But they are thrilled to sit at the same table and toast the most prominent international communist leader of all.

Rest assured that Watters, and Ingraham, and Baier will be back in their anchor chairs soon insisting that communism is bringing down America. And notice that, while these Fox News hosts are attending the state dinner with Xi, their network is still declining to cover the event until Trump rescinds his ban of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico. So these alleged “journalists” are guests at an event that Trump is prohibiting the free press – including their own employer – from covering. Although he did allow the state media of China to cover it.

It is also notable that no journalists other than those from Fox News attended the dinner as guests. Only Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda was invited. But there was another media figure there: Trump’s billionaire friend David Ellison, the CEO of the Paramount Global conglomerate that the Trump regime just greenlighted to acquire Warner Bros, the owner of CNN.

Maybe people shouldn’t be surprised by Trump’s embrace of communists like Xi, and Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, After all, Trump has been adopting many of the principles of the communists that he admires and seeks to emulate. Such as implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, forcing corporations to sell parts of their businesses to the government, suppressing the free press and defunding public media such as PBS, NPR, and Radio Free America, and seeking to dominate every branch of government and independent government agencies.

The hypocrisy of the Fox News hosts dressing up to pay homage to Xi, while ranting feverishly about the perils of communism on their TV programs, would by hysterical if weren’t so dishonest and dangerous. And the fact that they – and Trump – see Xi as a respectable world leader with integrity, but castigate Democratic Americans as traitors, is an ominous harbinger of what is yet to come from Trump and his MAGA-tists.

Trump is OBSESSED with a News Report that He Wants to Add His Name to the Ford Theater

Posted by on September 24, 2026 at 4:10 pm. 0 Comments :

The malignant narcissist that currently occupies the White House will also occupy a chapter or twelve in history books that chronicle American democracy and those who sought to destroy it. From the time that Donald Trump entered politics he has displayed a festering hostility toward the Constitution and the principles in it that patriots cherish.

Donald Trump, Twitter

The examples of Trump’s authoritarian aspirations are plentiful and troubling. They include his efforts to assume dictatorial control of government; his determination to ignore the roles of Congress and the courts; his waging of wars without lawful authority; his embrace of foreign tyrants and alienation of allies; and his attacks on the free press.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Among Trump’s most bizarre behaviors is his egomaniacal fixation of naming everything after himself, and other forms of self-exaltation. He’s building monuments to himself in the form of ballrooms and triumphal arches. He’s tried to attach his name to the Kennedy Center and the Institute for Peace. He’s hung gigantic banners with his scowling mug on the office buildings that house departments of Justice and Labor.

Now Trump is obsessing over a new tribute to his conceit. As reported by MS NOW, “Trump aides explore attaching president’s name to Ford’s Theatre.”

“As President Donald Trump fights to rename the Kennedy Center after himself, administration officials are circulating a list of government sites that could have his name affixed to them in some way, according to people familiar with the effort.

“One landmark that has emerged in the discussions among administration officials has raised eyebrows: Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865…The prospect sparked a flurry of discussion over the past week among people responsible for the historic site.”

This shouldn’t surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s unbridled vanity and messianic swagger. MS NOW cites several sources from within Trump’s inner circle who corroborate this desire. And equally unsurprising is that Trump is calling it “fake news.”

However, he is going to extremes to deny it. In just a matter of hours he has posted three grossly paranoid comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, claiming that “the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats” are conspiring against him. He began by whining that…

“The story that the White House, or me, want to affix my name to Ford’s Theatre, in Washington, D.C., where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, is a ridiculous lie. It is FAKE NEWS! Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place? The Dumocrats suffer from serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. They are Degenerates and Losers who make up lie after lie, and this Ford’s Theatre Hoax is just another one of their never-ending, malicious falsehoods to try to discredit and demean.”

Trump is clearly upset that some truth leaked out of his inner sanctum of crazy. But his denial isn’t very well thought out. He says “Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place?” So Trump says that he wouldn’t want his name on something that memorializes an assassinated president? That’s a peculiar complaint coming from someone who has been clamoring to add his name to the Kennedy Center that memorializes an assassinated president.

Trump continued in his next comment to say that…

“The Dumocrats make up lie after lie. The new one is that I want Ford’s Theater named after me. That’s where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Who would want that? I don’t! It is FAKE NEWS started by MSDNC AND CNN.”

In that comment Trump, a pathological liar, accuses Democrats of lying. But there is no evidence that Democrats had anything to do with this story. To the contrary, Trump’s own people are the sources. And he still doesn’t get how absurd it is to say he wouldn’t want his name on the Ford Theater when he is still suing to put his name on the Kennedy Center.

Trump still wasn’t finished. His third comment on this subject repeated much of what he said in the first two. But he added a little something extra…

“The Ford’s Theatre Lie is just another example of how the Fake News Media and the Dumocrats conspire together to make up false stories about ‘President Donald J. Trump.’ Shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press!”

Did you catch it? Trump says that “Our Country is desperately seeking a Free and Fair Press.” But in the sentence immediately prior to it was his declaration that stories that he deems to be fake “Shouldn’t be allowed to happen.” That is neither free nor fair.

As usual, Trump never provides any proof that the articles by MS NOW contained any lies. He just rants incoherently and makes baseless charges that he expects everyone to believe. But given his reputation for blatant dishonesty, he’s not going to convince anyone of anything other than that he’s just a big baby and and blowhard.
