HOLY CRAP! Scaredy Trump Has Been Trying to Banish the Entire Press Corps From the White House

Posted by on October 22, 2026 at 2:19 pm. 0 Comments :

Not satisfied with banning a few media companies from covering him at official presidential events, it is now being reported that Donald Trump has actually been pushing to ban the entire press corps from the White House, and turn the WH Press Briefing Room into an indoor swimming pool.

Donald Trump Trashes the Media

Since his reoccupation of the White House, Trump has acted on the worst impulses of his massive yet fragile ego by taking revenge on journalists who dared to engage in honest and accurate criticism of him. His vengeance manifested in unlawfully terminating the First Amendment rights of the Associated Press, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, all of whom he is trying desperately to prohibit from covering his presidency.

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

The latest news about Trump’s animosity toward the free press comes in an article by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of the New York Times headlined ““Trump Pushes to Evict the Press From the White House.“ The article describes how far down the road to fascist media suppression Trump has already gone.

“In late August, during one of Karoline Leavitt’s final meetings with President Trump in the Oval Office, he pitched her on an idea in front of several senior aides. He told her to move reporters out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, which would effectively remove news organizations from the White House. It would be, he told her, her ‘last legacy.’

“But the proposal never moved forward while she was there. The president had put the request to her several times over months, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions.” […]

“During earlier discussions, most of Mr. Trump’s senior aides agreed it served him better to keep the media nearby. But Mr. Trump has grown more enraged about his press coverage, and other advisers of growing influence have encouraged him to take drastic measures to punish journalists.”

Clearly Trump despises the free press and is determined to cause as much harm to it as he can. And even as he craves its attention to satiate his malignant narcissism, his obsession with silencing any and all negative accounts of his many failures takes precedence.

Notice that the arguments made by Trump’s aides to keep the media in the White House were centered on what “served him better,” rather than what served the American people or the Constitution. None of which the MAGA regime cares about.

It is also notable that Trump’s fixation on throwing out the press comes after he had already taken control of who is permitted into the press room, and his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, had repopulated it with far-right, radical, lunatics like Breitbart, One America News, and Lindell TV.

No one should take comfort in the fact that Trump has yet to sweep all of the media out of the White House. He is still likely battling with his own hatred of the press and his addiction to attention. Coupled with his incompetence, it is not surprising that he hasn’t completed his media cleansing. But he is nothing if not persistent, and will surely keep trying. Hopefully the press will keep reporting no matter how deranged Trump gets.

Trump’s FCC Boss Threatens to Punish Media for Reporting Polls that Show How Unpopular Trump Is

Posted by on October 21, 2026 at 3:38 pm. 1 Comments :

The most media averse president in American history, Donald Trump, is notching yet another new low in his mission to exact revenge on journalists who dare to cover him and his MAGA movement honestly. This is part of Trump’s ongoing crusade against the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of a free press.

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

Apparently it has not been enough for Trump to repeatedly file lawsuits against the media, or to banish them from the White House, or to lob infantile insults at reporters (usually women), or to assist his billionaire pals in media acquisitions, or even to accuse them of treason and threaten to imprison them.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Promises to Prosecute the ‘Country Threatening Treason’ of the Media

Trump’s animosity to the free press is a double edged sword. He hates it when it is less than wholly worshipful. But he still craves the attention it brings him. And as he walks that fine line he directs his flunkies to persecute the press in order to force them into compliance.

On this occasion that resulted in an ominous message from Trump’s FCC (Fascist Communications Commission) chairman, Brendan Carr, that was reported by Politico, one of the news companies that Trump is currently banning. Carr tweeted that…

“During this election season, there has been a significant surge in entirely Fake Polls and Suppression Polls designed to do nothing more than interfere with the regular functioning of the electoral process and alter the normal patterns of voter turnout and enthusiasm.

Note that Carr doesn’t bother to cite a single example of this “significant surge” of “Fake Polls.” Nor does he document any evidence that they are designed to interfere with the electoral process. If Trump is having problems with turnout and enthusiasm, it’s due entirely to his his own dreadful performance in office that has sown record lows in favorability. But he went to say that…

“Many journalists and broadcasters have been amplifying or airing these Polls without regard to basic journalistic ethics and without informing the public that those Polls lack a scientific, accurate, or even real basis.

Once again, Carr doesn’t cite a single instance of a journalist “amplifying” any poll that fails to meet “basic journalistic ethics.” And the media has no obligation to inform the public of a lack of “real basis” when no such lack exists. But he still wasn’t finished. He continued…

“The FCC takes these issues seriously. Broadcasters are prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes. It is important that broadcasters comply with their public interest obligations. After all, the country benefits greatly when Americans can trust and rely on the media to report the news fairly and accurately.

Once again, again, Carr makes wild, unsupported claims that unnamed broadcasters are “engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes.” How dare they? That, after all, is Trump’s specialty. And the country would certainly benefit greatly if Americans could rely on a president who wasn’t a pathological liar. Then Carr wrapped up with a threat, saying that…

“Broadcasters are advised to avoid engaging in News Distortions or running Broadcast Hoaxes by airing Polls that would violate their regulatory obligations.”

Carr is going way out of the bounds of his jurisdiction by presuming that he can determine what constitutes “News Distortions.” And it’s clear that his determinations of distortions would just be whatever Trump doesn’t like. What’s more, Carr has no authority to punish national broadcasters who are not licensed by the federal government. So this entire episode is a blatant attempt to intimidate the media and impose on their freedom to report as they see fit. It’s a tactic that Trump learned from his idols Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.

For the record, Deadline reports that there actually was a recent fake poll. However, it was designed deliberately to expose the cracks in “how polling data is vetted,” not to affect the outcome of any election. This phony Wedgewood Poll was revealed by its creators shortly after they completed their experiment. It hardly represented a surge in fake polls. And Carr never mentioned it.

TOO LATE! Trump Says He Will Spend $400 Million in Futile Effort to Avoid a Midterm MAGA Massacre

Posted by on October 20, 2026 at 2:42 pm. 0 Comments :

In the last two weeks of an election cycle there are frequently frantic candidates scurrying around to make their closing arguments and shore up their campaign’s efforts to prevail. That generally manifests in advertising blitzes and multiple media appearances. And this midterm election cycle is no different for the most part. However, where their are differences they come from a familiar source.

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

Donald Trump, Snake Tongue

Donald Trump may think he’s fooling people with his constant claims of unmitigated successes, but the more dismal reality is evident for all to see. For instance, Trump says that he’s winning (or has already won) his war against Iran. He says that prices for gas and groceries and everything else have come way down. He brags incessantly that his mere presence in a campaign guarantees electoral victory. Which makes you wonder why Democrats are happier about his “help” than Republicans are.

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

As this election season comes to a close, Trump has just pledged that he is finally making a financial contribution to his party’s candidates. Something that he has not done all year. He posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social saying that…

“Because of my belief in the Republican Party, and all of our Policies and Principles, and especially after witnessing what is taking place in France, and other locations throughout Europe, I am pleased to announce that, having to do with the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History, I have spent, or will be spending, over 400 Million Dollars by Election Day. More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more. It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion.”

That’s right! Trump has such a strong belief in the Republican Party that he waited until two weeks before election day to make a sizable donation for what he says is “the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History.” Although he says that $300 million has already been spent, there is no record of that in any election funding reports.

Does anyone actually trust Trump to spend this money? Not only would it be out of character for him to make good on this promise, but he doesn’t say where he would get the funds to donate. The only ads he has run so far he paid for illegally with taxpayer money, even after being told to stop by a federal judge.

Assuming that Trump really did spend $300 million on GOP campaigns already (doubtful), what benefit has resulted from it? Republicans are still trailing badly in many contests that a year ago they were expected to win. One explanation is that Trump is counting the spending on his cult rallies and the arenas. Those events were more for Trump than his MAGA comrades. The candidates in those areas frequently declined to appear with him. And their polling has not improved.

This alleged campaign donation is just another empty promise by Trump to get some favorable press. Like everything else, he’s only in it for himself. His previous promises of cash dividends were essentially bribes to get people to vote for his MAGA clan. He literally promised to give every adult in the country $5,000 – more than a trillion dollars of taxpayer funds – if Republicans win. And he made no exceptions for millionaires or murderers, rapists or drug dealers, or any other villainous persons, such as members of his family.

Other instances where Trump has used taxpayer funds as bribes for votes include offering FEMA payouts to victims of natural disasters in red states. And just this weekend, he offered another multibillion dollar bailout for farmers to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

OH GREAT! Trump is proposing yet another multibillion dollar taxpayer bailout to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-10-20T09:47:56.736Z

Of course, all of these examples of political bribery are aimed at helping Republicans from whom Trump will then demand return favors. This is not how you run a constitutional democracy. It’s how you run an authoritarian dictatorship. Which is what Trump obviously aspires to.

Trump’s Economics Czar Brags that the Economy is Booming for People Who Stay in Nice Hotels

Posted by on October 19, 2026 at 4:17 pm. 1 Comments :

In the closing weeks of the midterm elections, Donald Trump and his regime associates are making their last ditch efforts to avoid the Blue Tsunami that threatens to flush out the MAGA Republican majorities in Congress.

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

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

Trump himself is in the midst of a nationwide campaign tour to try to boost Republican turnout. Although his itinerary is almost exclusively red states that should already be expected to turnout for GOP candidates. That says something about how desperate their party is, and how despairing they are of their prospects. And given his record low approval ratings, no one is happier about Trump’s participation in the campaign than Democrats.

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

The closing arguments for Republicans appear to be avoiding entirely the issues that the American people care about, such as the cost of living and the war in Iran. Instead, Trump and the GOP are focusing on transgender athletes, imaginary communist candidates, and Trump’s ballrooms, arches, and golf courses.

The obliviousness of the MAGA crowd is off the charts. On Monday morning Trump’s chairman of his Economic Advisory Council, Kevin Hassett, was interviewed on CNBC to deliver his routine and preposterously rosy outlook. CNBC’s Joe Kernan noted the current polling that predicts Democrats will win majorities in both the House and the Senate. Then he asked Hassett if he thought the polls were correct. And like a good MAGA-tist Hassett parroted Dear Leader Trump’s doctrine that all the polls are fake, Elaborating, he said that…

“If the economic polls that you’re talking about were correct, then people wouldn’t be taking trips to nice hotels. They wouldn’t be flying. They wouldn’t be buying cars. They wouldn’t be doing all the things they do when they’re feeling good about the economy.

“True sentiment is measured by what you see people are doing. And what you see people are doing is they’re acting like we’re in a boom. And the reason they are doing that is because, despite what the polls say, we are in a boom.”

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy… people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-10-19T13:01:50.546Z

Well…That’s comforting. So if you’re a jet-setting car buyer who stays in nice hotels, the economy is booming. Unfortunately, everybody else is struggling to keep their heads above water. It’s notable that what Hassett and his kind “see people doing” is living the same life of luxury that they live.

They don’t see regular, working class people. So they think that those people are only complaining about the economy because of the polls, rather than because of their own experiences and knowledge of their own finances. That’s what is driving the polls, not the other way around.

Can Trump and his team really be that out of touch? Or do they just lie and hope that their gullible cult followers will believe them? This is not the first time that they have appeared to be considering only the welfare of the wealthy. A couple of months ago Trump bragged that “The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” Which doesn’t really make life easier for anyone on Main Street.

This is how the elitist MAGA-strates think. If it’s good for them and their billionaire pals, it’s good for America. It’s the Trumpian version of Ronald Reagan’s discredited “Trickle Down Theory.” It didn’t work then, and it doesn’t work now. And it’s a really awful closing argument for a tightly fought midterm election. But other than childishly mocking people for their looks, or their names, or that they like vegetables, it’s all the MAGA-tists have got.

CBS Reporter Deletes and Apologizes for Blatantly Biased Tweet Smearing Abdul El-Sayed

Posted by on October 18, 2026 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

When right-wing billionaire, and Donald Trump pal, David Ellison bought Paramount he swore that he wouldn’t interfere with the news programming on CBS which Paramount owns. Then he immediately put the far right Bari Weiss in charge of the whole news operation. He knew how Weiss would run things, so that his interference wouldn’t be necessary.

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

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

And Ellison was right. This new regime at CBS wasted no time slanting the news to align with Trump’s MAGA agenda. Which brought about numerous resignations and firings that tilted the network farther to the right, including on iconic programs like 60 Minutes. This had the predictable result of triggering a stark decline in viewership. Clearly there was no intention of running a fair news enterprise, despite the hollow claims.

SEE THIS:: Trump’s FCC Chair Says that CBS News Will Have to Employ a ‘Bias Monitor’ to Police Their Reporting

Evidence of the political partisanship at CBS was displayed on Saturday following a town hall with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, candidate for the Senate in Michigan. CBS correspondent Jan Crawford posted a tweet commenting on an exchange between El-Sayed and an audience member named Tommy. The exchange included the following…

Tommy: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?
El-Sayed: Sure. Yeah. Absolutely, Why are you asking the question?
Tommy: Because I have not heard you disavow them yet. […]
El-Sayed: You’re asking the question because implicitly you assume that I’ll have dual loyalties, right? You assume that somehow I wouldn’t disavow, or that I’ll have some higher order allegiance than the Constitution.

In his response El-Sayed “Absolutely” disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood. And he also gave Tommy a lesson in the Constitution’s protections of religious freedom. But somehow that wasn’t good enough for Crawford, who tweeted…

“Tommy, thank you. I had to watch this twice to catch Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s nanosecond, ‘yeah, absolutely,’ response. His subsequent uninterrupted diatribe proving your exact point is the kind of spectacular self-own is the kind ppl only dream about triggering. Congrats.”

WTF? Did anyone else have to watch it twice to hear El-Sayed’s disavowal, which he actually made two times? And how did El-Sayed’s “diatribe” (a loaded word) on the Constitution prove Tommy’s point that El-Sayed must have dual loyalties because he’s a Muslim?

Crawford’s tweet was so biased and inappropriate that even her bosses at CBS were displeased. They ordered her to delete it, which she did saying that…

“Earlier, I tweeted a video from an Abdul El-Sayed town hall. I deleted that tweet because it was a violation of CBS News standards. I apologize.”

You have to wonder what specific “standards” Crawford was in violation of. Notice that Crawford only mentions that she deleted the video, not her biased remarks. So maybe that was what violated CBS’ standards: showing a video that made a Democrat look good.

What’s more, CBS’ standards also don’t seem to include conducting any investigation of Tommy who, as it turns out, was a partisan plant. According to Marisa Kabas of The Handbasket, he is the son of a GOP strategist, and was a staffer for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley. And after being dressed down by El-Sayed, he abruptly left the hall. But not before refusing to disavow imposing Christian religious doctrine into American law.

For good measure, El-Sayed’s opponent, Mike Rogers, went on CNN and, despite the video evidence, denied that El-Sayed disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood. Even after he was told by CNN’s Dana Bash that El-Sayed did make a clear disavowal, Rogers whined, “No, that’s not true.”

The unbridled bigotry of Republicans has long been a core element of their ideology. And it’s sad to see it being adopted by a CBS correspondent. El-Sayed’s reply to Tommy went viral because it showed him as a smart, compassionate, patriot. And that ought to have been the takeaway of the reporting by Crawford and CBS. But that seems like too much to hope for in the Trump/Ellison era.

POOR BABY: Sean Hannity Sounds Deeply Depressed While Expressing His Midterm Election Optimism

Posted by on October 17, 2026 at 2:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The midterm elections are now a little over two weeks away. And most polls are currently predicting bad news for Donald Trump and his Republican comrades. Democrats have better than even odds of winning majorities in both the House and the Senate.

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

Fox News Sean Hannity

In response, Trump has embarked on a national MAGA crusade to fire up his glassy-eyed cult followers. Although his itinerary of almost exclusively red states doesn’t appear to be aimed at producing a GOP congressional victory, but merely avoiding a devastating Republican blowout. And the biggest supporters of Trump’s crusade are Democrats, who welcome the highly unpopular president campaigning for Republicans who don’t even want him in their states.

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

Among those who still regard Trump as a positive contributor to the Republican cause is Sean Hannity of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Friday night he aired a segment wherein he intended to add his analysis of the unfolding election. And while he described what he was feeling as “optimism,” his voice and demeanor didn’t seem to agree. To the contrary, Hannity sounded downright depressed and utterly lacking in confidence. See for yourself…

“I am watching these Senate races and, day by day, I am getting more cautiously optimistic. Let me explain why.

“I do believe that Maine is definitely going our way. I think this guy [Troy Jackson] was out of his mind telling a woman to shut up. I think [Abdul] El-Sayed is collapsing under the heavy burden of his lying. The same with [James] Talarico. I see Ohio coming back, Iowa coming back. I’m not as worried as the media wanted me to be about places like Kansas and Nebraska.

“So I think that things are generally headed in a much better direction. I might be wrong. It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes and does their part, and I hope they do.”

Does Hannity sound optimistic to you? He’s making up stories about “collapsing” campaigns for Democrats, when the polls show Democrats gaining or steady. You’ll notice that he doesn’t cite a single poll to support his rosy claims. Even more telling is his admission that “I might be wrong.” That’s the sort of concession that Hannity rarely makes. Particularly if he actually believes the hype he’s spewing.

Finally, Hannity begs his viewers to show up at the polls. But he’s not being especially firm about it. Rather than insisting that it’s a critical civic duty and that the GOP needs their support to save the nation from communists, he lapses into a rather weak appeal of “hope” that viewers do their part. How inspiring!

If Hannity is this despondent about the future fate of the GOP, it is indicative of how deep a hole they are in. It’s an unspoken confession of futility and defeat. But he’s right about one thing: “It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes.” And that goes for Democrats too. Although from the looks of it. Democrats are a lot more upbeat and enthusiastic about turning out in record numbers to save democracy and crush Trump’s dwindling MAGA movement.

If Democrats maintain their excitement through November 3, we’ll see even more miserable mood swings from Hannity, from his comrades at Fox News, and from their Dear Leader Trump, who will likely erupt like Vesuvius, knowing that he has become the lamest of ducks for the remaining two years of his term. That is, if he is even able to finish it.

WINNING? Trump’s Truth Social is Bleeding Users as it Suffers a Brutal 30% Drop

Posted by on October 16, 2026 at 2:36 pm. 0 Comments :

Four years ago Donald Trump launched his own official propaganda platform, Truth Social, after he was banned from Twitter “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” That was before Elon Musk took over and later restored Trump’s account.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Ever since Truth Social began it has been an abysmal failure. Much like almost every other Trump business. After all, the guy who bankrupted four casinos, and had both his phony university and scam charity shuttered by the courts for fraud, can hardly be expected to make a profit on more conventional enterprises. And with regard to Truth Social, Trump is living down to his rancid reputation. As reported by The Independent…

“Donald Trump’s Truth Social has seen a staggering drop in users — despite the president’s steady stream of daily posts on the platform. Truth Social’s traffic fell more than 30 percent over the past year, according to data from digital intelligence firm Similarweb. The social media platform averaged about 260,000 daily users last month, a sharp drop from its peak of 420,000 in June 2025.”

So in the span of one year – an election year – Truth Social lost about a third of its traffic. And while Trump is posting every day like madman for his 13 million glassy-eyed cult followers, his entire website isn’t generating as much traffic in a whole day as a single moderately successful tweet. For instance, this tweet got more than 300,000 views. By comparison, Twitter/X has 130 million daily users.

Truth Social’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), recently issued a quarterly report that showed a loss of $238 million on paltry revenue of less than $2 million. And it’s stock has crated to an all time low of 6.99, a 92% decline from its high point. This is even after the company sought to illegally sell insider trading info for $100,000.

True to form, TMTG and Truth Social have been practicing on the fringes of legality from the start. It’s no wonder that the company is shedding dollars and dupes. What follows are some more examples…

Trump’s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans
Truth Social announced that well-heeled investors and financial institutions will be able to buy “fastest access” to the market moving comments that Trump posts so that way they can profit by trading on this insider information. These Wall Street traders and investment firms would pony up as much as $100,000 a month to Trump for this privilege..

YOU’RE FIRED: Trump Media’s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company
Devin Nunes, who had no relevant business experience whatsoever, proceeded to run the sham operation into the ground. He packaged it with a variety of unrelated undertakings, such as cryptocurrency, mutual funds, gambling, and even an attempt at AI that seemed to go rogue.

Trump’s Cratering Truth Social Stock Reflects the Catastrophe of Everything That Trump Does
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. plans to issue a new cryptocurrency, which will be distributed among its shareholders. […] The coins won’t represent ownership of DJT shares, and may not be transferable or exchanged for cash.

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump
The merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33%, but two weeks later reversed course back to around $12.80. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

Trump Crime Syndicate: Investors Arrested for Insider Trading in Failing Truth Social Scam
Trump’s associates in his truthless, anti-social media venture were arrested and charged with insider trading. Reports indicate that “the three individuals together made more than $22 million in illegal profits.”

Truth Social Disease: Ads on Trump’s Twitter Ripoff are Mostly Scams and Trump-Fluffing Merch
Advertisers are afraid of their ads being juxtaposed with hate speech and other noxious content. Consequently, the only advertisers who are willing to shell out are sketchy scammers, conspiracy theorists, and junk peddlers.

Fox News Poll Reveals Why Trump and His MAGA Republicans Are Losing the Midterms So Badly

Posted by on October 15, 2026 at 2:36 pm. 1 Comments :

The countdown to the midterm election is proceeding apace with Donald Trump himself dropping everything to embark on a campaign tour to almost exclusively red states in order to head off a historic Blue Tsunami that threatens to flush out Republican politicians across the nation.

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

Fox News Sad

The redness of Trump’s itinerary is evidence that the GOP has effectively given up on many of the competitive races where Democrats are leading. What’s more, many Republicans have actually asked Trump to stay away because he is such a toxic entity that they believe his presence will hurt more than help. Of course Trump himself doesn’t believe that. He’s convinced that he is the GOP’s last best hope.

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

If you need any further proof that Trump is an albatross around the neck of the GOP, take a look at the new poll from Fox News – that’s right, Fox News – that shows pretty conclusively why Trump and the Republican Party are so pitifully out of favor with the American people.

The poll asks the question “How Concerned Are Voters About Key Issues?” And the results expose the inherent weakness of the Republican Party’s campaign. Beginning with the number one issue of concern: “Corruption in Government,” which is a concern of 88% of the voters. That’s followed by a trio of economic issues – “Inflation and High Prices,” “Gas Prices,” and “Healthcare.” All of which are also in the 80s.

What these issues have in common is that they are all high the list of priorities for Democrats. And conversely, they are matters that Republicans avoid, often referring to them as insignificant, or temporary, or caused by past administrations years ago. In any event, the GOP isn’t taking any responsibility or offering any solutions.

The remainder of the list similarly leans to the advantage of Democrats with issues such as “The War in Iran,” “Artificial Intelligence Technology,” and “Voter Suppression.” In fact, the only three issues in this poll that Trump and the Republicans address are much lower concerns, including “Immigration,” “Border Security,” and “Voter Fraud.” The matter of voter fraud may be what Trump rants about most, but it is dead last on this list of concerns. Perhaps because it is virtually nonexistent.

It’s safe to say that if Trump and the GOP stay on this course, they can expect – and will deserve – to crash and burn on election day. They clearly have no idea what the American people want. Although Trump could still turn it all around. He could rescind his inflationary tariffs, refrain from embracing foreign dictators, stop acting like an oversized infant spewing insults, whining, and lying, and he could end the war in Iran – all in the next three weeks. But don’t hold your breath. Trump isn’t ready for peace…

With Trump as the chief spokesperson for the Republicans in these final days of the campaign, they are chiseling their dismal fate in stone. That said, polls are not votes. And every patriot who cherishes democracy and the principles that made America great still need to turn out and cast their ballots. This is not the time to get complacent or over confident. VOTE BLUE! LFG!

UH-OH! Trump’s Economic Advisor Forgets to Blame Biden for Trump’s Latest Rise in Inflation

Posted by on October 14, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the most prominent promises made by Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign to reoccupy the White House was that he would bring consumer prices down. He swore that he would do that on day one, and that it would be easy. We are now at day 632, and things have only gotten worse.

The American people are well aware of Trump’s failures with regard to the economy. Despite his lying about this being the “Golden Age,” people know what their groceries cost, and their gas, and their healthcare, and their housing, etc. Trump’s deceit and uncaring attitude are among the primary reasons that he is floundering at record lows for job approval.

Most experts agree that the dismal economy we are suffering through are due to Trump’s neglect, incompetence, and ego. The war he started against Iran has resulted in higher costs for energy. His ridiculous, unwarranted tariffs account for the rise in virtually everything else. But in Trump’s twisted mind, and the minds of his MAGA-pologists, President Biden – who left office nearly two years ago – is the culprit who caused the fiscal fiasco that has plagued the Trump years.

Political observers have wondered when the timeline would flip from the seemingly endless Biden Effect, to one where Trump actually takes responsibility for his own mistakes and misdeeds. Well, we might be getting close to that now. In an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, had the following exchange with Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: We got the last Consumer Price Index report before the midterms. In September price is up 0.6%. Moved up a bit, a bit hotter, 3.7% over the last year. Here’s what Kevin Hassett had to say about it this morning.
Hassett: Because the Houties started attacking the Saudi pipeline. And other Iranian proxies from Iraq were attacking refineries and so on. That we had a negative shock to energy again in September. But inside the topline number there’s a lot of good news. [Insert a bunch of Hassett lies] If you look at core inflation, it was basically at the Fed’s target on average over the last three months. But this month was a blip up.

This may be the first time that Hassett has ever answered a question about Trump’s poor performance that didn’t begin with “But Biden…” In fact, the reasons that he does cite are all problems of Trump’s making. It was Trump’s reckless and illegal attack on Iran that led to associated battles in the region with the Houties, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. And the targeting of oil refineries was a possibility that a competent leader would have prepared for.

What’s more, the Federal Reserve’s target for inflation is 2.0%, way below the 3.7% that Hassett is preposterously calling a blip. At least he didn’t blame Biden again. But has he finally recognized how ridiculous that is? Or did he just forget?

While it’s a welcome relief that Hassett didn’t push to blame Biden again, he still tried to downplay any notion that the economy is troubled. But how could he? Trump would have his head. After all, here is what Trump said about the rise in inflation…

Question: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?
Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

Trump has expressed his love for inflation before. It’s just another indicator of how out of touch he is with ordinary people. And for the record, the video here was cut off right before he explained why he loves inflation. Here is what he said…

“Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. Did you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it.”

HUH? So Trump loves inflation because he’s going to steal Iran’s oil when the war is over? That war, which he said would only last a few weeks, is now in its eighth month. Does he think that the American people love inflation for that period of time, and who knows how much longer?

Furthermore, everybody knows about Trump’s stated intention to steal Iran’s oil. He has said it repeatedly in public. He brags about it saying that “to the victor goes the spoils.” The only problem is that Trump is losing. And therefore, unfortunately, so are the American people. And they know that Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers are solely to blame.

Trump’s New Propaganda Secretary, Katie Zacharia, Has Already Broken the Law

Posted by on October 13, 2026 at 3:58 pm. 1 Comments :

It didn’t take long for the new White House press secretary to demonstrate that she is closely aligned with the values – or lack thereof – of Donald Trump. When the current occupant of the White House is a convicted felon who shows zero respect for the law, then should we expect any of his flunkies be any different?

Donald Trump, Katie Zacharia

Which brings us to Katie Zacharia, Trump’s replacement for his previous official liar, Karoline Leavitt. On Tuesday Zacharia made her premiere performance in the White House press room. And it was something less than adequate by historical standards, but precisely what one would expect from a Trump appointee.

Zacharia’s debut in the White House press room featured her reading extraordinarily poorly from a prepared statement. Her presentation skills were surprisingly bad considering that she has had plenty of public speaking experience as a frequent guest on MAGA media such as Fox News and Newsmax. Yet she still managed to screw up like an amateur, and even violated the law.

In the course of her opening remarks, Zacharia gushed over how thrilled she was to be joining the Trump administration “as we are in the middle of a midterm blitz with energy and excitement never seen before in the history of midterms thanks to president Trump.” So Zacharia is already parroting Trump’s speaking style with hyperbolic phrasing like “never seen before in history.” But more to the point, her remarks on Trump’s “midterm blitz” were brazenly political and a clear violation of the Hatch Act that prohibits partisan political activity by executive branch employees at the White House.

Of course, nothing will come of this since Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, is also a crooked Trumpist. Zacharia went on to lie shamelessly, saying that Trump’s recent cult rallies have had “record high” attendance, and that the nation is enjoying a “booming economy.” Both of which are flagrantly false.

Zacharia began her briefing by telling the gathered reporters that she is honored to be working for Trump, and that she has “wanted to work for him a very long time.” She must have forgotten that she already worked briefly in the Trump administration as the primary spokeswoman for the Homeland Security Department. She was also the senior communications advisor at Trump’s failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

What’s more, Zacharia noted how honored she was to be working for Trump. Really? He is an alleged pedophile who is all over the Epstein files, that he refuses to release. And a convicted felon. And who has started unprovoked wars. And who cozies up to brutal dictators. And he is a racist, and a misogynist, and a pathological liar, and a malignant narcissist. What part of that makes Zacharia proud?

That introduction was followed by the question and answer period. It lasted a mere 14 minutes and included only three questions that she didn’t actually answer. The questions came entirely from right-wing “reporters” from Fox News, Breitbart, and Daily Mail. So Zacharia seems to be fitting in well with the radical, right-wing, unqualified collection of Trump staffers that includes Pete Hegseth, Robert Kennedy Jr, Markwayne Mullin, and the rest.

However, even in that group Zacharia stands out for her incompetence. Let’s see how long she lasts.

UPDATE WOW! After only four days… Scaramucci lasted more than 2.5 Zacharias.
