Trump Withdraws Unqualified Surgeon General Nominee, Replaces Her with a Fox News Hack

Posted by on April 30, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The parade of sycophantic incompetents that Donald Trump has tapped for his second occupation of the White House continues to march in lock step with Dear Leader’s “vision” of an authoritarian cult. There has never been an administration so jam-packed with unquestioning devotees who blindly follow their master’s decrees.

Fox News, Vaccine

The latest example of this mind-hive behavior comes with Trump’s unstable maneuvering to fill the post of Surgeon General. Nearly one year ago Trump nominated Casey Means for the position. She was uniquely unqualified. She didn’t even have an active medical license. And this was Trump’s nominee to replace his first choice, Janette Nesheiwat, who was equally unqualified. So naturally, now that Trump is ditching Means, he is turning to his favorite job recruiting site, Fox News…

Trump’s third attempt at the Surgeon General’s post is Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor whose nomination is typically swimming in controversy. He announced his new nominee on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, by first assailing Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy – a medical doctor – and threatening his Senate seat…

“For months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose ‘TRUMP’ Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach ‘President Trump’ on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General.”

Oh, so now Means was Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK, Jr.’s nominee? To be fair, Trump did admit that he didn’t know Means when he nominated her and was relying on RFK, Jr.’s recommendation. Trump followed up that comment with one that provided some background on Saphier. Although he failed to even mention her association with Fox News. Trump babbled that…

“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier to be the next SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. […] She is also an INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATOR, who makes complicated health issues more easily understood by all Americans.”

Trump then followed up on that comment with another swipe at Cassidy, hoping that he will be voted out of office in the upcoming Republican primary. Trump endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Julia Letlow in that race.

As for Saphier, she is not exactly a renowned medical professional. To the contrary, she often made bizaarre and defamatory comments in her appearances on Fox News. For instance, in a segment discussing the release of a special counsel report that exonerated President Biden of any alleged wrongdoings, Saphier, who is a radiologist with no credentials in psychology or politics, made an irresponsible remote diagnosis falsely asserting that Biden, because he criticized Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, “is having some sort of cognitive decline.”

So in Saphier’s mind, criticizing Fox News correspondents is proof of mental impairment. And that’s the quality of advice that America can expect from Saphier if she is confirmed as Surgeon General. Which makes her the perfect subordinate of RFK, Jr., whose science-denying, anti-vaccine, deranged behavior includes collecting road kill to examining their genitals.

This also means that the health of the American people is going to be at great risk if they are foolish enough to rely on any of Trump’s appointees. After, he isn’t exactly a pillar of mental health…

FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation

Posted by on April 29, 2026 at 2:35 pm. 0 Comments :

The ego that devoured America – Donald Trump – is at risk of suffering a major mental malfunction if somebody on his team makes the mistake of showing him the latest polling numbers reported by CNN. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his emotional instability when confronted by how much he is despised by the majority of the American people.

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

CNN’s Senior Data Analyst, Harry Enten, delivered the bad news for Trump on Wednesday morning. It comes on the heels of his embarrassing reaction to the disturbance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, wherein he sought to shamelessly exploit the event to bolster his lame arguments for building a gaudy golden palace ballroom on White House grounds.

SEE THIS: DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom

The Ipsos poll focused on the public’s feelings about the economy and inflation under Trump’s “leadership.” And it isn’t a pretty picture. As Enten noted…

Inflation “is the number one issue folks say is facing their families right now. And Donald John Trump is in the worst position he has ever been in on inflation. And more than that, these are the worst numbers I’ve ever seen for any president. […] Trump is 49 points underwater.”

Enten goes on to reveal that the poll shows Trump trailing both Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter, whose terms were notorious for having been badly hampered by inflation and other economic troubles. But Trump, who insists on being number one on everything, has managed to score the top spot on the list of worst presidents – again. Even a plurality of Republicans (45-39%) say that the country is “on the wrong track” since Trump reoccupied the White House.

Of course, Trump doesn’t care about inflation. He doesn’t care about the hardships of the American people. He surely doesn’t care what they think, or he wouldn’t lie so brazenly every time he opens his mouth.

What Trump cares about is spending half a billion dollars on his vanity ballroom, prosecuting his political enemies on phony charges, waging and losing reckless and unnecessary wars, rigging elections to preserve his power, filing lawsuits against the media, and engaging in blatant corruption to enrich himself and his billionaire friends. You know, all the things that the American people are most interested in. Right? RIGHT?

One more thing that Trump cares about is having his massive but fragile ego stroked. Which is why he holds Cabinet meetings where his flunkies take turns kissing his…let’s say ring, It’s why he is so obsessed with plastering his name and face on everything from currency, to federal buildings, to passports, to battleships, to government programs, and more. And it’s why he gets so outraged when he is certified to be a pitiful loser who is utterly demolished by the patriots that he abhors. That applies even more so when he loses to President Biden.

MORE HERE: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

There are good reasons why Trump is polling so badly. Virtually everything he does or says is contrary to what the American people want. They see right through his self-promotion and dishonesty. But rather than address those obvious shortcomings, Trump piles on more of the same, thinking that the quantity of assholyness will result in acceptance of it. And he is so demented that he can’t see how horribly that strategy is failing.

Unfortunately for Trump, it’s only going to get worse as he sinks deeper into the abyss. And none of his “loyal” cult devotees will have the courage to tell him, or to suggest that he change course. But they will will abandon ship after it’s already clear that the wreckage is destined for the ocean floor.

WTF? Trump’s FCC Expected to OK Paramount’s Takeover of CNN with BILLIONS of Middle East Dollars

Posted by on April 28, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 1 Comments :

The state of the media business has declined precipitously during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. Either they have capitulated to his threats, lied to “sanewash” his incoherent babbling, soft-pedaled his autocratic policies, or just failed to demonstrate the courage that is expected from practitioners of a free press.

General Donald Trump on CNN

In short, the performance of much of the media amounts to simply cowardice. While there are some notable exceptions, the craven spinelessness, greed, and biases of most of the biggest media conglomerates is more than a little disturbing. And their sheepish surrender to Trump’s crybaby bullying encourages his worst totalitarian tendencies. Such as…

SEE THIS: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

Trump has been carefully studying the anti-democratic tactics of his tyrannical idols Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Viktor Orbán. And the results are evident in recent interactions between the government agencies he presides over and his MAGA media pals.

For instance, Larry and David Ellison, the Trump-fluffing moguls who own Paramount Skydance, are now seeking to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. They have already gotten some preliminary approvals from Trump, his Justice Department, and his Federal Trade Commission. And now they are seeking to get a green light from the Federal Communications Commission. As reported by the Hollywood Reporter…

“Paramount has asked the Federal Communications Commission to sign off on its equity investment from three prominent Middle East sovereign wealth funds that are backing the company’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

Paramount is making a direct appeal to Trump flunky Brendan Carr, his FCC chair, to approve the deal for the merger, including $24 billion from “Saudi Arabia’s PIF (public investment fund), L’Imad, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and a Qatar Investment Authority fund.” And while they say that “the sovereign funds are only acquiring non-voting equity shares,” it would still be an unprecedented arrangement wherein these foreign investors would own 49.5% of the company.

Paramount says that “the Ellison family and RedBird will…be the sole owners of Class A Common Stock, representing 100% of the voting shares.” And they think that makes things better? It actually means that these politically biased billionaire pals of Trump will be the overlords of two prominent news networks, CBS and CNN, along with all of the other assets of the combined media empire.

There are legal obstacles to foreign individuals, businesses, or governments owning U.S. media companies. The law cites national security, propaganda or political influence, and media concentration, as issues impacting approval. Under normal circumstances it would be particularly concerning for Middle Eastern entities to own such large percentages of American media.

The potential for exploiting the platforms (both news and entertainment) is obvious and worrisome. Even limited to non-voting shares, they would have significant leverage by simply threatening to sell shares, maneuvering their own competing platforms, or bailing out entirely.

Anyone who thinks that investors who own nearly half of the company wouldn’t be able to influence the company’s decisions is terminally naïve. And if those investors also happen to be tight with the U.S. administration, it just makes the potential for risk even greater.

There is literally no limit to the nefarious financial and national security mischief that they could engage in. And Trump’s Justice Department and other oversight agencies would be useless. Trump has already cleansed them of any ethical operatives. His administration, and Trump himself, would be no deterrent at all. In fact, the record shows that he would be an accomplice.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Melania and Donald Trump Demand that Jimmy Kimmel Be Taken Off the Air

Posted by on April 27, 2026 at 1:21 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, Donald Trump has been parading around the media making the case that he’s a brave hero who survived an attempt by Democrats to terminate his presidency. It’s just more of the myth making bullpucky that Trump is so well known for disseminating.

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

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

Consistent with Trump’s enduring fixation on demonizing his political opponents and the free press, Trump’s insignificant other, Melania, made a rare public statement that advances his determination to muzzle the media, particularly when it engages in accurate and honest criticism of him. On this occasion, Melania sought to respond to a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel last week.

SEE THIS: Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

Outraged by Kimmel’s audacity to deliver a comedy monologue, Melania posted a comment on X/Twitter to express her dismay over a single line that referred to her and her charade of a marriage to Donald, the serial adulterer. What Kimmel said was that she had a “glow like an expectant widow.” In her hyperbolic overreaction Melania raged that…

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Melania has some massive testicular fortitude to complain about Kimmel’s allegedly “hateful and violent rhetoric”? Has she ever met her hateful HINO (Husband In Name Only)? And yet she brazenly calls for what amounts to the abolishment of the Constitution’s First Amendment, saying that “Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening.” She then demands that ABC “take a stand [against] Kimmel’s atrocious behavior.”

This is just another attempt by the Trump regime to ban Kimmel from broadcasting, which they tried and failed to do last year. Disappointed by his failure, Trump whined that “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

Following Melania’s tweet, Trump chimed in with one of his own. It was a tediously long and incoherent comment that affirmed Melania’s anti-free press sentiments babbling about “Kimmel’s despicable call to violence,” and demanding that “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Of course, nothing in Kimmel’s jokes advocated anything approaching violence. Melania’s widow glow could be the result of Trump’s advanced age, poor health, and fast food diet. To the contrary, it is Trump who has been relentlessly “corrosive” and “despicable” and that promoted “political sickness.” In a 60 Minutes special segment Sunday night, Trump told Norah O’Donnell that “I do think the hate speech of the Democrats is very dangerous, much more so.” That was right after he called O’Donnell “a horrible person” and a “disgrace.” Never mind that a report by his own Justice Department found that it is right-wingers who have been responsible for most political violence.

MORE HERE: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

Trump’s DoJ later tried (but failed) to disappear that report. In the meantime, Trump has literally called for the death of sitting members of Congress. He celebrated the death of lifelong public servant and decorated veteran, Robert Mueller. And he has maligned Democrats and the press as “treasonous,” “lunatics,” “vermin,” and “the enemy of the people.” So any complaints that he – or Melania – have now about divisive rhetoric are – to put it in technical terms – BULLSHIT!

DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom

Posted by on April 26, 2026 at 12:52 pm. 0 Comments :

On Saturday night there was yet another incidence of gun violence in America. This time it took place at a the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) in Washington, D.C. where Donald Trump was attending for the first time as president. And unlike previous shootings at elementary schools or churches, Republicans are actually making demands that “something” be done about it.

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

Trump Penthouse Phone

Less than an hour after the shooting, Trump was back at the White House giving reporters a carelessly premature account of what happened, complete with praise for himself mixed in with some for law enforcement. But most bizarre was his segue to justifying his vanity ballroom as a solution to the sort of shooting that occurred at the WHCD. It’s just the latest sales pitch for the architectural monstrosity that he is building. Earlier this year he made an impassioned (and deranged) plea for the pointless structure.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Utterly INSANE, Lie-Riddled Rant to Justify His $400 Million Vanity Ballroom

In Trump’s post-shooting press conference he thought it was relevant to mention his ballroom project, asserting that it was necessary just for situations like this and falsely claiming that the Secret Service, the military, and unspecified others have been demanding it for 250 years.

Never mind that there is no way that the ballroom would have prevented this shooting. But that didn’t stop the White House from reportedly coordinating a social media campaign to advocate for the ballroom within minutes of the shooting. However, a private journalism organization could not have held their event on White House grounds. Although he is hosting a UFC fight there later this year, so you never know how low he will go.

Trump followed up his televised ballroom pitch the next morning with a comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE. This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House.” […]

“The ridiculous Ballroom lawsuit, brought by a woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit, must be dropped, immediately.”

Contrary to Trump’s ludicrous lie that the lawsuit challenging the ballroom was brought “by a woman walking her dog,” it was, in fact, brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, who argued that the administration failed to conduct mandatory reviews and get congressional approval for the $400 million dollar project. A federal judge agreed and temporarily halted the project pending compliance with the required legal processes. The judge also affirmed that the plaintiff had legal standing.

As for the alleged “dog walker” in Trump’s vivid imagination, it is likely Alison K. Hoagland, an architectural historian who submitted a declaration about the damage the proposed ballroom would cause to the White House, the neighborhood, and the social and cultural ambience of the city. But she is not the plaintiff. Also, she doesn’t have a dog.

While it is way too soon to speculate about the motives and details of the shooting, it’s hard not to wonder why this happened now, to a historically unpopular president who desperately needs a PR boost, at an event that he hated and would love to have sabotaged. The shooting provides a convenient benefit for Trump who appears to valiantly survive an assassination attempt, and the WHCD, where he has felt humiliated by comedians in the past, is cancelled. And you know that Trump wouldn’t want to sit through the awards to journalists who reported on his failures that were to be given out at the Dinner.

Trump said that the Dinner would be rescheduled in 30 days. But with Trump, such promises almost never come to pass. The War against Iran was supposed to be over in less than 30 days, but now it’s been nearly twice that. And we’ve still never seen his healthcare plan, his taxes, or the rest of the Epstein files. So don’t hold your breath, America. In the meantime, ponder this…

Trump Reveals that He is a Bipartisan Racist in a Pair of Disgusting Truth Social Posts

Posted by on April 25, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The flaming bigotry of Donald Trump is not exactly a breaking news story. He has displayed his racial hatred for decades in a virtually prideful manner, and shamelessly exploits it to secure the support of the small but obnoxiously loud community of American bigots.

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

Donald Trump, MAGA

For the most part Trump’s prejudices have been directed at his political foes on the left. He routinely describes Democrats and civil rights leaders as racists in an effort to deflect attention from himself and to diffuse the term of any meaning. For instance…

SEE THIS: Jasmine Crockett Tells the Truth About Trump, So He is Attacking Her and Other Women of Color

While most of Trump’s racist attacks just happen to fall on Black women, he does sometimes broaden his attacks to include Black men, including Don Lemon and Charlamagne Tha God. But on Saturday morning Trump went after the Democratic House Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, saying that…

“Hakeem “High Tax” Jeffries is a Low IQ individual who is not smart enough to be ‘running’ the Democrat Party, and certainly not smart enough to be involved in running the United States of America.”

Trump’s “Low IQ” epithet is a big part of his extraordinarily limited vocabulary. And it is aimed almost exclusively at Black men and women who dare to oppose him. What made Trump’s outburst on this occasion slightly different is that he also called one of his most fervent MAGA supporters “Low IQ” just a few minutes after insulting Jeffries with it. He railed at ultra-rightist Candace Owens, who recently criticized Trump over his Iran war, saying that…

“Candace Owens’ stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way…she is an extremely Low IQ individual!”

So Trump is demonstrating that he has the capacity to be a bipartisan racist, demeaning the intelligence of Black people on both the left and right ends of the political spectrum. Of course, he still directs the vast majority of this abuse at left-leaning Black women including Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, all of whom he has called “Low IQ.”

In yet another affirmation of Trump’s inbred racism, this week he ordered his “Justice” Department to prosecute the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit enterprise that has been fighting racial hate organizations for 50 years. And of course, their preposterous, legally meritless allegations are that the SPLC is itself racist. The real objective of the persecution is to defend groups like the KKK that form the base of Trump’s MAGA cult.

In the Trump era he has had some success at making it acceptable to be openly racist, at least within the already racist MAGA communities. It will be interesting to see if they continue to back him now that he has launched his invective at the Blacks that they have tolerated because they embraced Trump.

The MAGA cult has lately been showing cracks in their foundation. Will this topple it completely? Probably not. But combined with his broken promises to refrain from starting new wars, and to release the Epstein files, and to lower prices for gas, groceries, etc. the ground beneath Trump’s empire may be turning into quicksand.

Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

Posted by on April 24, 2026 at 1:19 pm. 0 Comments :

On Saturday the White House Correspondents’ Association is holding their annual gala dinner. However, there are some notable differences with this year’s event from those held previously. For one thing, this will be the first time that Donald Trump will attend as president. Which many people regard as an incentive to skip the whole thing.

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

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

Another difference is that this year’s entertainment will be provided by a magician/hypnotist, rather than a comedian. Is that because Trump’s ego is too delicate to tolerate any humor at his expense, or is it some sort of attempt to plant post-hypnotic MAGA suggestions into the audience? In any case, it is being reported that Trump will not stick around after he delivers his remarks, that are expected to be a “revenge” rant aimed at the media that he despises. So he will miss the hypnotist, as well as the awards that are being given to journalists, many of which are for articles revealing his innumerable failures.

SEE THIS: The White House Correspondents Association Awards Are Gonna Really Piss Trump Off

Consequently, on Thursday night Jimmy Kimmel sought to remedy that absence of a comedian at the dinner by putting together his own version of the speech that he would give if he were the guest speaker (video below). He called it “The Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner,” and introduced it saying that…

“Typically somebody funny shows up and roasts the luminaries, the president, and everyone. But our president is a delicate snowflake, with the the thinnest fat skin ever. And that means there’s gonna be no comedian this year. So I thought why not take a page from the ‘Kid Rock Alternative Halftime Show.”“

Whereupon Kimmel presented a hilarious address that mocked Trump, Melania, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Robert Kennedy Jr. Stephen Miller, and FCC chairman Brendan Carr. Some of whom will be at the real dinner because CBS, in a show of pathetic capitulation, has invited Hegseth and Miller as their guests. Here a few examples from Kimmel’s speech that would definitely upset our Fragile-Flower-in-Chief…

“We’ll get you all dressed up in formal wear, dresses, tuxedos. I haven’t seen this much black since every page of the Trump Epstein files.”

“We’re gonna have fun tonight, and I’m happy you decided to stay, Mr. President. And don’t worry if we bruise your ego, it’ll only make your hands look less disgusting.”

“The president didn’t want me to tell any jokes about him tonight, but he also didn’t want to pay me $130,000 to shut up. Sorry Mushroom Dick.”

“I get why you think you’re Jesus. This guy, every time he walks into a room, people say, Christ, he’s back.”

“You’re looking good, Mr. President. Who did your makeup? Kraft Singles?

“President Trump has accomplished so much during his second term. He passed new incentives for oil and gas. He put the brakes on solar and wind. That will be your legacy, sir, breaking wind and passing gas.”

Can you imagine Trump finding any of that funny? Kimmel also paid tribute to Trump by presenting him with another of the fake participation trophies that he loves so much. This one is the much coveted “Burger King of Comedy Gold Award.”

It will be interesting to see just how badly Trump foams at the mouth while spewing hate during his remarks. And the quick cuts to his angry reactions to other speakers will also provide some entertainment. And much of that will likely be unintentionally hilarious. But for actual comedy value, we will have to be satisfied with Kimmel’s fake speech. So for your entertainment pleasure…

Trump-Fluffing Media Mogul is Hosting a ‘Tribute’ Dinner for Anti-Media, Wannabe Dictator Trump

Posted by on April 23, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The seething animosity that Donald Trump fosters for the free press has been a defining characteristic of his warped, anti-democratic persona for as long as he has been in public life. He even published an anti-media page on the White House website. Ironically, he has also had an enduring dependency on the very same press for the constant attention he craves and that fuels his massive yet fragile ego.

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

Donald Trump

In a shameless attempt to kiss the…let’s say ring…of Herr Trump, billionaire media mogul and CEO of the Paramount Skydance conglomerate (which owns CBS), David Ellison, will be hosting a dinner Friday night to pay tribute to Trump for rolling over so compliantly and approving Ellison’s bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery (which owns CNN). Ellison has previously “paid” tribute to Trump in the form of millions of dollars in bribes to grease the wheels of his merger bid.

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Now, on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual gala, Ellison is fluffing Trump and his ego once again. As reported by Variety…

“David Ellison, whose Paramount Skydance is awaiting closure of its massive deal to swallow up Warner Bros. Discovery, will host an invitation-only dinner next week ‘honoring’ President Donald Trump and CBS News’ White House correspondents, Variety has confirmed.

The event will take place in Washington, D.C., on April 23, two days before the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday, April 25. The Ellison-hosted function will be held at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, which the State Department in December 2025 announced was being renamed ‘The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.'”

The optics of this tribute dinner couldn’t be more disturbing. Ellison is brazenly exhibiting his bias for Trump and his MAGA cult movement. That bias has already been evident in the reporting by CBS, where its 60 Minutes program interfered with segments that were critical of Trump. What’s more, CBS has invited Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, and Senior Neo-Fascist, Stephen Miller, to be their guests at the WHCA’s dinner on Saturday.

How can anyone take seriously any dedication to honest, unbiased reporting by an organization displaying this much blatant political favoritism? It is also notable that while Ellison has plenty of time to suck up to Trump with patronizing dinners, he was unable to make time to appear before a congressional hearing probing Paramount’s efforts to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, that has numerous potential anti-trust violations.

Meanwhile, Ellison’s aspirations for autocratic media dominance are not a done deal. California Attorney General Rob Bonta will be conducting a “vigorous” review of Paramount’s pending acquisition. There will be similar reviews by legal authorities in other states, as well as internationally.

So the Trump regime’s takeover of the free press will be facing significant obstacles. And in the end they will have succeeded only in severely degrading the public’s trust in the institutions that align with Trump.

YOU’RE FIRED: Trump Media’s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company

Posted by on April 22, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 2 Comments :

Shortly After Trump was banned from Twitter, before the Musk era, he launched his own social media website that was a direct ripoff of Twitter. His hysterically named “Truth” Social quickly became the dedicated propaganda platform for Trump’s ranting, insulting, lying, and shameless self-exaltations.

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

Donald Trump, Stock Market

The Truth Social website was stuffed into a corporate grab bag that was christened as Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), and Trump hired former Republican congressman Devin Nunes to run it as its CEO.

In the four years since its launch 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…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Truth Social AI is Woke AF: Even His Own Social Media App Hates Him

Now it is being reported that Nunes has been handed his walking papers. According to the New York Times…

“Trump’s social media company, which has consistently lost money and struggled with a flagging share price, announced Tuesday that it was replacing Devin Nunes as its chief executive officer. The announcement offered no reason for the sudden departure of Mr. Nunes.”

And that…

“Trump Media has incurred hundreds of millions in losses, and its shares have performed poorly since the company went public. […] Last year, Trump Media took in $3.7 million in revenue and recorded a $712 million net loss.”

Indeed, TMTG has performed abysmally. Its stock is down 90% from its high. The vast majority of investors were creamed. But Trump and few other insiders made out like bandits – literally! So as a tribute to Mr. Nunes, let’s review some of the history of the company that he presided over for Trump, whose own business history is littered with failures and bankruptcies…

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 Media (Truth Social) Falls to Its Lowest Point Ever – And So Does Donald Trump
Reflecting the animus that Trump inspires in America, his scam business venture, Trump Media and Technology Group, is suffering its worst week since it went public a year and a half ago. It has lost a whopping 80% of its asset value since then.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

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.

UM…NOPE: Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News ‘When Trump Says He’ll Do Something, He’ll Do It’

Posted by on April 21, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 1 Comments :

Before Donald Trump ran for president, he had a regular weekly segment on Fox News that was called “Mondays With Trump” wherein he phoned in an interview with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It served as a promotional vehicle and free campaign ad from 2011 until he came down his golden escalator in 2015.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Today Trump continues to appear regularly on Fox News, his official Ministry of Propaganda. But that’s not all. His daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, has her own weekend show. His Cabinet members are on Fox’s air daily. And his Propaganda Secretary has a recurring spot on Sean Hannity’s program that he calls the “Hannity Washington Briefing” featuring Karoline Leavitt. From the start of Trump’s re-occupation of the White House, Leavitt has made Fox News her home away from home.

On Monday evening Leavitt was on duty with Hannity where she made some of her routinely ridiculous remarks intended to fluff her boss. She began by complaining about the media observing that “the United States is in a worse off position than we were at the start” of the Iran war. That’s objectively true considering that 13 American troops were killed, more than 400 injured, and thousands of Iranian civilians have died. What’s more, the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war, remains closed causing severe product shortages and price increases around the world.

But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to invent a profile of Trump’s alleged leadership (huh?) and steadiness (whut?), saying that…

“Trump has been the steady leader our country needs throughout this entire endeavor and again, thanks to the success of this entire military operation and his hardline negotiating style, we’re on the brink of a deal. […]

“President Trump has proven before he does not bluff. When he makes a promise, he follows through on it. And I’m not sure why after 10 years of covering this president, the American media still cannot understand when President Trump says he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it.”

The ability to see leadership, and especially steadiness, in Trump requires a massive dose of cult programming. But more to the point, one thing that Trump is well known for is not doing what he says he’s going to do. It’s such a common flaw that it has its own acronym: TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. And if you need some more proof, there’s this…

As for Trump’s war against Iran, he has claimed to be “on the brink of a deal” too many times to count. But no deal has emerged. To the contrary, the latest news is that the peace talks have completely broken down.

Even worse, Trump has promised to annihilate everyone in the country if their leaders didn’t submit to his demands. He threatened that “A whole civilization will die” if the Hormuz Strait weren’t opened. He also raged that they must “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” And yet, it seems that every other day Trump is either celebrating that an incredible deal has been reached, or is issuing new deranged threats.

If that is what Leavitt thinks is leadership and steadiness, I don’t ever want know what she thinks being weak and fickle are. Because to every other conscious observer the strength that Trump projects is the human personification of creamed corn.
