Lying Fox News Gets Schooled on X After Quoting Trump Lying About Oil Flowing Out of Hormuz

Posted by on June 23, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

The regularity with which Fox News disseminates wholly fabricated fantasies on behalf of their Republican benefactors has been a hallmark of their so-called “journalism” from its inception thirty years ago.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

If anything, they have become even more consistently dishonest as the years went by. Particularly since they adopted an obsequious affinity for the notoriously pathological liar, Donald Trump. And Trump’s deceit has grown exponentially with regard to his reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, bragging about his imaginary successes in his Middle East misadventures. He said that…

“19 Million Barrels of Oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time RECORD. Oil prices are tumbling down, and the World is a much safer place!!!”

Virtually everything in that comment is untrue. Oil prices are still much higher than they were before the war. The oil is not flowing smoothly through the Hormuz Strait. And the world is hardly safer with Iran getting billions of dollars as a result of Trump’s “peace deal” that they are free to spend on new military equipment and funding for terrorists groups, but with few concessions on their part.

Shortly after Trump posted that comment, Fox News reported it on their X/Twitter account. They prefaced it by saying that “Trump is celebrating what he says was a record day for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Unfortunately for Fox News, their focus on Trump’s assertion about the “all time record” for oil flowing through the Strait got a fact check by the moderators on X/Twitter. A “community Note” was attached to the post that said simply that “Pre-war, 20 million barrels passed through the gulf each day, on average.”

So not only was it not a record, it didn’t even match the average for pre-war oil flow. Even worse, as reported by Fortune, “US Central Command said on Saturday that 17 million barrels had passed through Hormuz.” So even according to the military leadership under Trump, the oil flow was less than both average flow, and the lie that Trump told.

This is another example of the multilayered patchwork of lies by Trump and his MAGA media minions that have become routine. And when we add them to his lies about everything from the economy, to immigration, to his many tributes to himself (ballrooms, reflecting pools, triumphal arches, etc.) we end up with a compendium of concoctions that don’t come close to passing the smell test.

And yet, Trump’s cult continues to believe whatever he tells them. And his MAGA media continues to regurgitate what they know are flagrant falsehoods. But the good news is that the majority of the American people have seen through Trump’s deceptions and regularly dismiss them. Which is why his approval ratings are what are really in record territory, on the low side. November can’t come soon enough.

Fox News Reflecting Pool ‘Media Frenzy’ Story Features Trump as ‘MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH’

Posted by on June 22, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

The continuing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. has taken a firm hold on the limited attention spans of Donald Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. They both make mentions of it nearly every day, mostly to praise Trump’s obviously inept management of the project.

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

Fox News, Fake News

In less than three weeks since Trump declared his “renovation” complete, the Reflecting Pool had devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint and coating materials. So after spending upwards of $14 million on the unnecessary undertaking, it is likely going to cost millions more to repair the damage that Trump caused. And in the meantime, Trump is blaming the problems, for which he was solely responsible, on imaginary vandals.

SEE THIS: Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

Making matters worse, Fox News is running stories on the Swamp Pool that make no sense at all. On an episode of Fox’s “Big Weekend Show,” They had a segment on what they called the “MEDIA OBSESSION,” over Trump’s miserable makeover. Their subtitle for the segment was “Reflection Pool Sends Far-Left Media Into a Frenzy.” And as a bonus, the video included a picture of a protester with a sign that read “”MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH.”

Fox News says there is a "MEDIA OBSESSION" sending the "FAR-LEFT MEDIA INTO A FRENZY" over Trump's fouled up "renovation" of the Reflecting Pool. (With a bonus shot of a "MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH" poster).Wait up…Who's obsessed? Trump's been all over this for weeks.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-22T09:05:41.803Z

No one with a rational perspective of Trump’s reoccupation of the White House will argue with the sentiment on the protester’s sign. However, everything else in the Fox News story was preposterous.

It is Trump who has been obsessed with the Reflection Pool and his “mutilization” (his word) of it. He has been bringing out a giant poster of the Pool during press avails, on totally unrelated matters, that show that the length of the Pool is greater than the height of several tall buildings. To which a sane observer would ask, “So what?” But he apparently thinks it’s important enough to interrupt discussions of everything from his illegal war against Iran (that he’s losing), to the state of the U.S. economy (that’s he’s wrecking).

In addition to putting the Pool con job front and center at every public event Trump attends, he is posting about it relentlessly on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Among the comments he posted are baseless claims that vandals sabotaged the Pool, for which he doesn’t bother to provide any evidence. Bear in mind that there are dozens of cameras all around the Pool, so if there was any vandalism, there would be ample proof of it.

In another comment Trump asked “who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE!” And with a curious question mark also seemed to be asking “We will fix it?” And he also announced that “Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool.” Once again, there is zero evidence of that. But that hasn’t deterred Trump from threatening many years in prison for the mythical miscreants.

If anyone is truly interested in apprehending and punishing the person(s) responsible for defiling the Reflecting Pool, here is a tip: He currently resides and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., although he spends quite a bit of time at a fancy resort in Palm Beach, Florida called Mar-a-Lago. Let’s see if the authorities can track down this malignant, anti-American perpetrator.

Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

Posted by on June 21, 2026 at 12:57 pm. 1 Comments :

The parade of failures presided over by Donald Trump is a truly impressive prospectus of pitiful faux pas. They range from his disastrous and illegal war with Iran, to his callous abuse of immigrants, to his dreadful mismanagement of the economy, to his myriad of ego-stroking tributes to himself.

Jeanine Pirro Fox News

Trump’s ability to screw up anything that he is involved with is boundless. He even managed to turn his UFC cage match on the White House lawn into a debacle of epic proportions.

SEE THIS: Trump’s White-Trashing of the White House (UFC Freedom 250) Was a Costly Trump and Ratings Flop

The latest catastrophe on Trump’s playlist is his so-called “renovation” of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. He spent upwards of $14 million on it, and in less than two weeks it has devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint.

True to form, Trump is genetically incapable of taking responsibility for anything. So he is trying desperately to blame this blunder on anyone else. This led to his manufacturing a claim that it was vandals – you know, “radical left lunatics” – who endeavored to destroy the perfect beautification effort that he had personally forged. He even said that the U.S. Park Police had arrested multiple suspected vandals, although there is no evidence of that.

In support of Trump’s contrived accusations, his U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has announced that she is pursuing criminal charges against the imaginary vandals. And she is beginning with threats against a member of the media who dared to report on Trump’s Swamp Pool. Pirro was interviewed by Peter Doocy of Fox News Sunday morning…

Doocy: Trump has a crime-stoppers tip for you. He says “Lightweight ABC reporter Jonathan Karl was seen sticking his hand into the Pool and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.” Is Jonathan Karl in trouble?
Pirro: Well, it depends. Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the Reflecting Pool will face the criminal justice system in D.C. The president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, beautiful. And there are several citations that have been handed out to individuals, and these are cases that will be prosecuted to the full extent

Of course, Karl broke no law by demonstrating how the coating that Trump had applied was peeling off. Clearly Karl was not vandalizing anything. But Pirro leaves open the possibility that he could be prosecuted.

Pirro is adamant that she will prosecute anyone who vandalizes the Reflecting Pool. Never mind that there is zero evidence of any vandalization. Which is interesting because her boss has determined that anyone who storms Congress, destroys public property, and threatens the lives of representatives, gets a pardon and maybe millions of taxpayer dollars?

So according to Pirro, the seditionists who ransacked Congress and threatened to hang Mike Pence get a pass. But nonexistent Swamp Pool vandals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is the brand of justice practiced by Pirro, a former Fox News host who had not worked professionally in the law for twenty years when Trump plucked her up from Fox. And Pirro’s record as U.S. Attorney has been notably awful. As reported by CNN…

“The DC US attorney’s office under Jeanine Pirro has had an unusually low win rate in trials in Washington’s federal district court this year…In its first eight criminal trials this year, the DC US attorney’s office has won only half of them — far below the national average.”

Among the cases for which Pirro failed to win convictions, or even bring to trial, was one involving a Subway sandwich “terrorist” who threw a footlong at an ICE agent. She also wasn’t able to get a Grand Jury to indict a group of Democratic veterans serving in Congress, including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, on charges of sedition because they lawfully reminded soldiers of their sworn duty not to obey illegal orders.

The American people will be comforted knowing that during the Trump administration Swamp Pool vandals will be harshly dealt with, while violent insurrectionists will get off scot free. And the same goes for billionaires who commit fraud. And the same goes for pedophiles associated with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, including his best friend Donald Trump.

RATPUBLICAN TRUMP Posts Two Polls on Truth Social Asking Truly DUMB (With a B) Questions

Posted by on June 20, 2026 at 1:11 pm. 1 Comments :

Something for which Donald Trump can always be counted on is his commitment to always focusing squarely on the issues that matter most to – himself, and only himself.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

On Saturday morning Trump was busy doing the critical presidential work of posting idiotic comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. They included insulting and lying about Italy’s Prime Minister, making preposterous excuses for having ruined the Reflecting Pool in D.C., and bragging about having lost the reckless and illegal war he started against Iran.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

In addition to those time-wasting exercises in pettiness and ego-stroking, Trump posted a couple of polls for his cult followers to play with. Neither addressed anything that the American people regard as essential to their well being. But both were repetitions of trivialities that Trump has been obsessed with. For instance…

Trump posted one poll that asked his flock which childish nickname they preferred for the Democratic Party: “Dumocrats” or “Dumbocrats”? This has been a pressing issue with Trump for quite a while. He appears to favor “Dumocrats” because you just swap the “E” for a “U.” He is particularly concerned about the inbred ignorance of his supporters, about whom he says “Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in ‘b.'” By “many people” you can rest assured that he means himself.

Trump posted a second poll asking whether he should add the letter “N” to the beginning of the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agency that has been harassing both immigrants and American citizens. Trump whined that “ICE has been abused by the Fake News Media at levels never seen before…Much of this hostility is caused by the Dumocrats and the Fake News.” Trump thinks that if the initials spell “NICE” that…

“…it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists…They won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy!”

Trump is convinced that it would put an end to any criticisms. Because that worked so well when Trump tried to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Department of Defense, and the Kennedy Center. Notice how all criticisms ceased? Neither do I.

Trump could spend his time much more productively if he posted polls on issues that really matter to the American people. How about polls asking…

  • Was the war in Iran a good idea, and has it been successful?
  • Are you satisfied with the Trump administration’s handling of the economy?
  • Do you support deporting immigrants working in agriculture, hospitality, medical care, and construction?
  • Should the United States help Ukraine against Russia’s imperialism?
  • Is universal healthcare a human right?
  • Should billionaire’s pay their fair share in taxes?
  • Do you want Trump and his “Justice” Department to stop blocking the release of the Epstein files?

These are all issues where the majority are opposed to the positions of Trump and his MAGA Republican Party. Or should I say “RATpublican” Party? After all, you just swap the “E” for “AT” And you have a much better description. Maybe I should post a poll about that.

Trump’s White-Trashing of the White House (UFC Freedom 250) Was a Costly Trump and Ratings Flop

Posted by on June 19, 2026 at 1:49 pm. 0 Comments :

Last Sunday Donald Trump threw himself an 80th birthday bash at White House. The party featured a typically classless Trumpy presentation of sweaty, half-naked men beating each other up. And in addition to staining the dignity of the People’s House, it exploited the occasion to enrich the Trump family and a few selected billionaire pals.

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

Donald Trump

The UFC Freedom 250 fight was sponsored by Trump’s friend and donor, Dana White, whose UFC enterprise counts Trump among its investors. And even though the UFC said that they are paying for the production, It will cost taxpayers millions of dollars in security, traffic, sanitation, and municipal costs. But don’t believe the hype that this is a “sport” that vast numbers of the American people flock to. Most of them opposed the yokel brawl-fest, including Republicans.

SEE THIS: Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

Confirming the popularity – or lack thereof – for this event, the ratings reported are something less than stellar. It aired only on Paramount+, who had the exclusive rights to the program, and is run by another couple of Trump’s billionaire pals, Larry and David Ellison. According to the Hollywood Reporter…

“Nielsen streaming figures show 7 million people in the U.S. watched the seven-bout UFC card. An additional 1.2 million people in Latin America tuned in.”

For the record, the previous streaming UFC fight drew an average of about 5 million viewers. So this improved on that airing. But this event was predicted to outperform prior fights by wide margins. After all, it cost $60 million to produce, and had the benefit of White House hype.

Dana White predicted it would get a “Super Bowl” audience. The Super Bowl routinely draws about 125 million viewers. So he was only off by about 118 million. And when Trump invited to him stage another event on the White House lawn, White declined saying that “I need a year to recover financially.”

Another convenient benchmark is the recent NBA Finals. Game 5 of the Finals last week averaged 24.5 million viewers, more than three times the UFC audience.

Despite the disappointing viewership, Trump was celebrating the event early Friday morning on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He posted four different comments with videos of himself at the fight. Naturally, he was making himself the center of attention, rather than the participants or the 250th anniversary of the nation.

The fact that Trump continues to brag about the failed UFC event is a perfect corollary to his bragging about the Iran war that was also a failure. No matter how badly he does at anything, he pretends it was a victory. That’s especially true with regard to Iran. And his gullible devotees have no other choice but to kneel and agree. Because that’s how cults work.

Jimmy Kimmel Crushes Trump with Truths About His Iran War Fiasco And Channels Melania

Posted by on June 18, 2026 at 1:54 pm. 0 Comments :

This week Donald Trump trumpeted his prideful and delusional declarations of victory in the reckless and illegal war that he started against Iran. Never mind that all indicators show that Iran was actually the winner, and that Trump is pitifully trying to claim glory for himself that he doesn’t deserve.

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

Jimmy Kimmel with Trump baby

While Trump’s imaginary victory is all in his head, most rational observers are not fooled by his babbling. Even many of his fellow Republicans are disputing his rosy scenario that defies reality, warning that “giving Iran’s theocratic regime access to billions of dollars in economic relief would be a major ‘blunder.'” None of that, however, has deterred Trump from bragging/lying on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

Among the most honest and insightful analyses of the latest Trump debacle was one delivered by Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night. It was a concise itemization of the main points of ineptitude that is emblematic of Trump’s brand of “leadership.” Kimmel’s critique included that…

  • “We killed the Ayatollah…
  • “Replaced him with a younger, more radical Ayatollah…
  • “We did nothing for the protesters in Iran…
  • “We removed the sanctions that were on Iran before the war started…
  • “We got a ceasefire that we already had before this…
  • “We opened the strait, which was already open before this…
  • “We used up who knows how many billions of dollars on bombs and missiles…
  • “Many American and civilian lives were lost…
  • “We gave Iran full control of the strait of Hormuz…
  • “And we threw in a minimum of $300 billion, because why not?

Jimmy Kimmel tells the truth about how Trump lost his war with Iran & settled for a pathetic non-agreement that got the U.S. nothing.So expect Snowflake Trump to whine about Kimmel tomorrow on Truth Social and tell his "Justice" Department and FCC to go after him, and tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-18T11:01:14.367Z

Kimmel wrapped that up by presuming what Melania Trump might be thinking: “Right now, Melania’s wondering, ‘How do I get a deal like that?'” Kimmel later consoled his audience with a reference to Trump’s unsavory relationship with his pedo-pal Jeffrey Epstein saying that…

“The one area in which the war’s been a rousing success is it did take our attention away from the Trump-Epstein files. But don’t worry, the second it is really over, we will get right back into that.”

This example of truth-telling by Kimmel is what keeps getting him him trouble with Trump and the MAGA cult in Washington. It’s what got Stephen Colbert canceled. So it wouldn’t surprise anyone if Snowflake Trump started whining about it on Truth Social and telling his “Justice” Department goons and his corrupt FCC to go after him, and also to tell ABC/Disney to fire him.

They tried that once before. It didn’t work. But failure has never been a deterrent to Trump. So Kimmel should remain vigilant, and stay strong, and remember that Trump only wins if you capitulate to him. Bullies always wither when you fight back. And no one is more withering than Trump.

Trump Totally Humiliated Himself – And America – 3 Times (at Least) at the G7 Summit in France

Posted by on June 17, 2026 at 3:36 pm. 4 Comments :

The walking pile of puerile perversity that we know as Donald Trump has once again demonstrated how grossly distant he is from any semblance of civil conduct. Trump’s massive yet fragile ego drives everything he does or says. And it’s particularly disturbing when he does it on foreign soil.

Donald Trump

Just before gallivanting off Evian, France, Trump threw himself an 80th birthday bash at the White House with a show of sweaty, half-naked men wrestling in a giant cage. Just the sort of thing that exudes the dignity and honor of the presidential residence. And Trump made certain to offer his own personal expressions of honor…

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Off on a Racist Rant Shortly After His White-Trashing of the White House and America

The next day Trump boarded Air Force One to jet off to France for the annual G7 summit with the leaders of the world’s wealthiest, most highly industrialized democracies. And while there he comported himself in exactly the manner that you would expect of a vulgarian with no diplomatic sensibilities whatsoever. What follows are three notable examples of how Trump embarrasses America every time he opens his mouth. And representing our nation on the world stage doesn’t seem to temper his grotesquery.

TRUMP THREATENS TO NUKE SOME NUCLEAR ARMED NATIONS
“Whoever sells them [Iran] a nuclear weapon will get nuked themselves, if they sold a nuclear weapon, only a few that could do it, they would be nuked. They wouldn’t have that country long.”
REALLY? So Trump is threatening to nuke Russia, or China, or North Korea, or maybe France? Does he think that they wouldn’t defend themselves by nuking the U.S. right back? Does he think at all?

TRUMP THANKS XI JINPING AND VLADIMIR PUTIN FOR BEING NEUTRAL
“I want to thank China and President XI. I was with him, and he stayed neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciate it. And I would want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us.”
For the record, Iran did receive military technology, drones, and missile components from China. And Russia shared intelligence that actually helped Iran to locate and kill U.S. forces. Both countries propped up the Iranian economy by purchasing discounted Iranian oil. So thanks, from your fanboy Trump.

TRUMP DISPARAGES AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
“Nobody plays rougher than the United States. Look, our elections are totally rigged. We have rigged elections.”
So Trump currently presides over an all-Republican government with GOP majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court, but still chastises the U.S. for having “rigged” elections? Maybe he’s right. If our elections were free and fair there would be more political diversity. The Electoral College and the Senate representation is anything but fair.

Also, Trump complains about his buddy, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, being convicted for plotting a military coup after the 2022 election. But Trump ignores his own persecution of Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Senators Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Adam Schiff, etc., New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, and many more.

Also notable is a Trump post at 2:50am on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Mike Collins for the Senate in Georgia, but had little to say about Collins. However, he calls his Democratic opponent, current Sen. Jon Osoff, “Os(jerk)off.” That’s Trump always staying classy and setting a standard for America’s kids.

This Trump comment illustrates just how unfit he is for any office.He thinks he's clever with his infantile nicknames, calling Sen. Jon Osoff "Os(jerk)off." What a great role model for America's children.However, Democrats will welcome him to Georgia to campaign for Collins. Come often, Donnie.

OUCH! The Ladies of The View Roast JD Vance Over Trump’s Sick Friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on June 16, 2026 at 3:16 pm. 2 Comments :

Poor Donald Trump is having a terrible birthday week. As he turns 80, Trump is struggling to stay awake for the various celebrations he planned for himself at taxpayer expense. Most notably his UFC cage match at the White House that dragged down the dignity and prestige of the property and the presidency, while enriching Trump and his wealthy pals.

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

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

The same week Trump bragged that he had resolved the reckless and illegal war with Iran that he started. But he did so in a manner that made Iran appear to be the victor. Trump got less for his trouble – including billions of dollars spent, and thousands of innocent lives lost – than President Obama did ten years ago without going to war.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

In the wake of those birthday week unpleasantries, Trump’s vice-president, JD Vance, set off on a national book tour because he really doesn’t have anything else to do. One of his stops was a visit with the ladies of “The View” for a chat that he probably wishes he had avoided. A key part of the segment focused on Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that Vance was forced to defend. Which he did very poorly.

Vance began by disagreeing with “the idea that the White House wasn’t committed to full transparency” with regard to the release of the infamous Epstein files. Never mind that Trump and his flunkies in the “Justice” Department expressly blocked every attempt to release the files. Which Vance sought to deny…

Vance: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump. And that Donald Trump literally reported Jeffrey Epstein to the police.

Ana Navarro: They were best friends for about decade. And remember, he signed that Transparency Act under duress when some Republican women, congresswomen like Lauren Boebert, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, did not give into his pressure of not signing. He brought Lauren Boebert into the Situation Room to pressure her into caving on not voting for that bill.

Vance: Let me respond to that. number one is, yes, Donald Trump said this. He knew Jeffrey Epstein in the 1980s. He threw Epstein out of his club when he found out he was a creep and reported him to the police. […]

Navarro: It was allegedly over a real estate deal they got into a fight over. Let’s be truthful and transparent. They didn’t just know each other. They were incredibly close friends.

Vance: Ana made a very important point. This question about did Donald Trump release these files only under duress from Republicans? You know the Republican party probably better than I do. The idea that Donald Trump runs around afraid of Republican congressmen as opposed to the other way around, is kind of crazy. […] But he eventually came to say, “You know what, let’s just get everything out there. Let’s have this out in the public. And he actually called the senators. I was there. He called the senators and said, “Pass this bill. I will sign it” and that was it.

JD VANCE: One of the things you see in the Epstein emails is that Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald TrumpNAVARRO: They were best friends for about a decade. And remember, he signed that transparency act under duress

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-16T15:41:48.249Z

Navarro did a good job of holding Vance to account for his flagrant misrepresentations of reality. Vance’s claim that emails in the Epstein files proved that Epstein hated Trump completely leaves out the fact that they were close friends for more than a decade. And any animosity that later developed was due to conflict over a real estate deal.

What’s more, it was Trump’s anger that Epstein was “stealing” his girls from the Mar-a-Lago massage spa that resulted in Trump reporting Epstein to the police. It was only for retribution, not out of concern for the victims. Trump even admitted that it was the spa issue over which he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

As for the Transparency Act that Congress passed to compel the release of the Epstein files, Trump opposed that all the way. He never called senators and asked them to pass it. But he knew that there were enough votes for passage that it would be veto proof. So he signed it. Not because he was afraid of Republicans, but because he was afraid of looking even weaker after a veto override.

Vance has become the Undisputed Champion Trump-Fluffer. Having transformed from a critic who once said that Trump was “America’s Hitler,” to his current role as Trump’s chief derriere smoocher. Which is quite impressive considering all of the competition for that dishonor among the MAGA Republican cult. Congratulations JD. You’ve earned it.

Trump Goes Off on a Racist Rant Shortly After His White-Trashing of the White House and America

Posted by on June 15, 2026 at 2:59 pm. 0 Comments :

It didn’t take Donald Trump long, following his disgusting and undignified UFC circus at the White House, to return to his racist roots where he can disparage his perceived political enemies with his typically infantile insults.

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

Donald Trump, Klan, MAGA

The UFC affair lived down to expectations as the roster of sweaty, half-naked men wrestling in a specially built ring on the white House lawn. The event was sponsored by longtime Trump friend and donor, Dana White, whose UFC enterprise Trump has invested in. But don’t believe the hype that this is a “sport” that the American people enjoy. Most of them opposed it staining the dignity of the White House.

SEE THIS: Trump’s White Trashing of the White House with His Tacky UFSemen Fest Even Disgusts Republicans

The morning after the Hayseed Hell Night, Trump was back on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, dispensing his words of hate and division. He spends as much time there as he does golfing, watching Fox News, and otherwise avoiding the actual duties of a president.

Bright and early Monday morning Trump posted a comment that was unrelated to anything that was in the current news cycle, It was just an expression of his hateful, un-American feelings and distaste for anyone who isn’t part of his white nationalist MAGA movement. He whined that…

“Sadly, if you import people from Third World Countries, you quickly become a Third World Country — And there’s not a thing you can do about it.”

Perhaps Trump was just upset that he had to travel to France for a meeting with the G7 leaders that he regards as “dirty ferraners.” Which triggered his hate sensors to lash out at America’s immigrants.

What Trump fails to recognize is that America is, and always has been, a nation of immigrants. Many of whom came from third world countries. They include two of his three wives. What’s more, many of America’s biggest, most successful companies, were founded by, or are currently run by, foreign-born executives. The following list is just a few of them. And that’s just the CEOs, but not the presidents, vice-presidents and other top level executives.

Sadly, Trump is still putting his flaming racism on full display.For the record…

Immigrants have been among the most productive contributors to what makes America great. And that includes those with means and education, as well as the working class who make America’s economic engine hum.

What Trump is afraid of isn’t that America will become a third world country. It’s that America will become a diverse country that celebrates and benefits from its diversity. Which, in fact, it already has. And that really pisses off Trump and the bigots who make up his confederacy of haters who want to preserve America’s whiteness.

Consequently, Trump resorts to posting idiotic comments like the one above that serve only to divide fellow citizens and foster mindless contempt for good people who come here to make a better life for their families. Which is how you really make America great again.

Sadly, if you import racists like Trump, you quickly become a racist country. But there’s plenty you can do about it. You just have to be determined to shut them down and allow our better selves to prevail.

WOW! Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth Admits Trump’s Iran Deal Gets Nothing that Obama Didn’t Get

Posted by on June 14, 2026 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The political and PR tug of war between Donald Trump and Iran is continuing to strain relations without making any observable progress. On Saturday Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, declaring that an alleged “peace” deal would be signed Sunday (today). [SEE UPDATE BELOW on report of an alleged deal being reached – but no signing today]

Barack Obama and Donald Trump

The full comment that Trump posted was flagrantly dishonest and downright bizarre at levels never seen before (as he might put it). He insulted President Obama, misrepresented the deals by both Obama and himself, invented imaginary scenarios of future relations with Iran, and even threatened nuclear war. No, really…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Sunday morning Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was interviewed on CBS News’ Face the Nation by Margaret Brennan. During their discussion Hegseth admitted something that totally contradicts what Trump has been lying about for years with regard to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by the Obama administration to halt Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

Hegseth: Obama begged Iran for a deal. We bombed Iran, and then put in a blockade…The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won’t seek one, won’t buy one, won’t have one.
Brennan: JCPOA said that too.
Hegseth: But they didn’t have the threat of military force the way that we do…and that’s why they’re at the table. The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. Trump led with military might.

Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, admits Obama got Iran to agree to never have nuclear weapons (which Trump denies and lies about).Then Hegseth said the difference is Trump did it with military force (costing billions and killing thousands), while Obama did it through diplomacy.

So Hegseth is actually conceding that the Obama deal secured Iran’s commitment to cease all of their nuclear weapons programs. That’s something that Trump has repeatedly said wasn’t true. Never mind that the very first paragraph of the JCPOA says that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.”

What Hegseth describes as the difference between the confirmed Obama deal and Trump’s more ambiguous and non-binding “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) is that Trump’s deal was obtained by military force and hyperbolic threats that TACO Trump kept reneging on. By contrast, Obama’s deal was secured through diplomacy, carried out by experienced negotiators, and verified by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency. None of which Trump’s team accomplished.

Hegseth implies that Trump’s hawkish warmongering is superior to Obama’s statesmanship, despite the fact that Obama got tangible results without spending billions of dollars and slaughtering thousands of innocent people. However, there are still no results whatsoever from Trump’s dealings after four months of a war that Trump said wouldn’t take more than a few days.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin, was also on the Sunday morning media circuit, On Fox News he praised Trump because “On his birthday he’s still working.” Then he specifies what Trump is “working” on. Was it the Iran deal that was supposed to be signed imminently? Or lowering costs for gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare? Or anything else that the American people actually want or need?

Nope. It’s his tacky and corrupt UFC birthday bash on the White House lawn. Because Trump’s priorities are squarely focused on what is most important – To him, and him alone!

UPDATE: According to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a comment posted on Twitter/X, “The Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED.” and that “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June.” So there is no signing Sunday as Trump said, and a lot can change in a week. So nobody should be confident that this will pan out.

Also, while Trump posted a giddy, celebratory confirmation on Truth Social, there is no confirmation from Iran, and no details on the terms of the deal or whether it is a binding agreement or just an MOU. Also, nothing indicates that the deal contains anything that wasn’t already in the Obama deal. But reports say that Iran will get billions more from Trump, including $300 billion in recovery/reconstruction funds, and have less stringent restrictions and monitoring.
