BLAME AMERICA FIRST: Trump Takes Iran’s Side in an Allegation of a Cyberattack in Minnesota

Posted by on July 31, 2026 at 1:37 pm. 0 Comments :

Patriotism has long been a core principle of the Republican Party, at least during election campaigns when they try to portray themselves as unwaveringly devoted to America and its founding philosophies of democracy and liberty, and equality. Too bad that the GOP only wears that mantle of flag-waving allegiance as a campaign costume that they discard as soon as the campaign is over.

Trump baby with Iran map

No one in the Republican realm has been more dishonest with regard to loving their country than Donald Trump. He generously disgorges hollow praise in the form of mushy clichés and drenches his remarks about the nation with fawning flattery that has the stench of scammy evangelical sideshows. In reality, Trump displays a profound aversion for America, it’s laws, and its Constitution.

SEE THIS: Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

As is often the case, Trump provides the best examples of his treasonous tendencies. On Friday he spoke to reporters during a White House Cabinet meeting. These meetings are never held to work on matters of critical importance to the nation. Instead, they are ceremonial kiss-up rituals where Trump has his flunkies take turns fluffing him. That is, when he isn’t doing it himself.

On this occasion Trump had something to get off his chest. He had heard about a cyberattack on water systems in Minnesota, a blue state whose governor, Tim Walz, Trump has a particular animosity toward. The New York Times reported the news on Thursday saying that…

“Investigators believe a cyberattack this week on dozens of municipal water systems in Minnesota was probably the work of Iranian hackers, according to U.S. and state officials and others familiar with the matter, a potential act of aggression that comes at a precarious moment in the U.S. war against Iran.”

Despite the preliminary assessment by Trump’s own FBI and cybersecurity agency surmising that the attack was by Iran, Trump had other ideas. He told reporters that…

“I just wanna mention that we heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don’t think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they’re grossly incompetent. There was a cyberattack on 30 water plants. And I would blame it on Minnesota, and the corrupt government of Minnesota. They like to say ‘Oh, it was Iran.’ Iran should be so lucky. Iran’s got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.”

As he often does, Trump has chosen to blame America first. He is defending our enemy Iran against these accusations despite the fact that he is at war with them and bombing their civilian infrastructure, which gives them motives to disrupt infrastructure in the U.S. And he is making wholly unsupported accusations against fellow Americans who would only be harming themselves if Trump’s preposterous charges were true.

In Trump’s mind his political foes in Minnesota are more likely to be the culprits of this cyberattack than actual wartime enemies in Iran. That’s how twisted Trump’s thought processes are. And he assigns blame to what he calls the “corrupt government of Minnesota,” without any rational benefit a corrupt government would receive for attacking its own water plants.

What’s more, Trump is absolving Iran in part because messing around with Minnesota’s water plants would be too small an endeavor for Iran. So according to Trump, Iran has “bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota,” but Trump doesn’t? Really? What about the high cost of gas and groceries and housing and healthcare? What about his ICE thugs persecuting migrants and killing citizens? What about his collapsing approval ratings as the midterm election nears. What about Iran?

Trump is doing nothing to resolve any of those problems. But he is taking the heat off of Iran, while simultaneously taking time out to baselessly accuse Minnesota of attacking their own water plants.

Well, at least he’s only taking time away from building his vanity ballroom, and renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and other DC beautification projects, and shouting insults at journalists. Because Trump has bigger problems than worrying about affordability or war. After all, his ego have been hurt.

Trump Plots to Evade Senate Vote for Todd Blanche So He Can Keep His Slush Fund and Immunity

Posted by on July 30, 2026 at 2:42 pm. 0 Comments :

Trump’s approval rating has been spiraling downward for months. This week three reputable national polls have documented this decline. According to these surveys Trump is now wallowing in the low thirties, a depth that is lower than at any time in either of his occupations of the White House.

Donald Trump fear

Among the consequences of Trump’s collapsing reputation is the softening of support from his Republican cohorts in Congress. He is finding it more difficult to get legislation passed as representatives and senators are realizing that they have less to fear from Trump than they do from voters. And Trump appears to be realizing it too.

SEE THIS: Trump FREAKS OUT Over a Democratic Proposal: ‘They Do This, and the Republican Party is DEAD!’

On Thursday Trump was busy doing what he regards as critical presidenty stuff: posting deranged rants on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. Included in his latest batch of bullshittery was a comment that, on the surface, was an affirmation of his support for his acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche. But on closer examination it was a confession of his commitment to corruption. Trump wrote that…

“Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee. […]

“I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.”

If Blanche is a “STAR,” he is a red dwarf that is smaller and dimmer than others. And everyone knows it. More to the point, Trump is very perturbed (his resting emotional state) that a couple of Republican senators are reluctant to rubber stamp his nominee to become Attorney General. It’s true that Trump contributed to their senate careers coming to end. However, it’s also true that Trump was ignorantly blind that losing their support would be a predictable result of sabotaging their reelection.

Trump’s solution to this problem is to threaten to leave Blanche on as “acting” Attorney General until Tillis and Cornyn are out of office. There is some legal ambiguity as to how long Blanche could serve in an acting capacity. However, informed legal analysis suggests that it could be indefinitely.

Nevertheless, there are some problems with Trump’s plot to circumvent the Constitution and keep his personal criminal defense lawyer the head of the “Justice” Department. First of all, both Tillis and Cornyn might very well be replaced by Democrats in the November midterm elections. In North Carolina, former Gov. Roy Cooper is currently way ahead of his GOP opponent for the Tillis seat. In Texas, James Talarico is making an impressively strong bid for Cornyn’s seat.

If the Democrats win those races, and a few more in other states, Trump won’t be able to confirm Blanche, or any other crackpot nominee that Trump puts forward for the remaining two years of his lame duck presidency. And make no mistake about it, Blanche is a bona fide crackpot.

FOR INSTANCE: HUH? Trump’s Acting Attorney General: There’s a Ton of Evidence that the 2020 Election Was Rigged

Trump’s ultimatum is profoundly un-American and blatantly corrupt. All he needs to do to get the votes of Tillis and Cornyn is to have Blanche put in writing a revocation of the “weaponization” slush fund that he (as president) negotiated in a settlement with himself (as head of the Treasury Department/IRS). That fund was implemented to reward the criminals that stormed Congress on January 6, 2021.

By refusing to revoke the settlement, Trump is admitting that he would prefer to withdraw Blanche’s nomination, and have him serve in the sketchy “acting” status indefinitely, rather than have Blanche put in writing the revocation of the Seditionist Reward Scheme that he claims to have abandoned. So apparently, Trump has never intended to abandon the fund, and Blanche knows it.

[UPDATE: The next day Trump told reporters that the fund was dead. But saying it’s dead doesn’t make it dead. He can revive it any time he wants. He won’t put it in writing. Why not? He is literally stalling his own AG confirmation over that. And he still insists that he wants to compensate the criminally seditious rioters.]

Furthermore, Trump is also clinging to the immunity from IRS audits that his self-negotiated settlement also stipulated. That’s an extension of Trump’s broader intentions to evade legal accountability for his criminal acts, which was a primary motivation for his running for reelection.

None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s time in office. He has repeatedly demonstrated his aversion to the law and the Constitution. He files lawsuits at every opportunity to violate settled law. He governs by executive orders, then ignores the court rulings that strike them down. And he issues flagrantly unlawful orders covering everything from tariffs, to government terminations, to his reckless fiasco in Iran.

So it’s no wonder that such a president insists on having a partisan Attorney General, who is loyal only to him rather than to the Constitution, to protect him from the consequences of his criminal acts. It’s a plan that has worked to some degree, so far. But after November, Trump may hit a few speed bumps on his road to tyranny.

Donald ‘QUIXOTE’ Trump: Any Time You See Windmills You See a Failing Country

Posted by on July 29, 2026 at 4:09 pm. 1 Comments :

The derangement of Donald Trump is often mocked and ridiculed. But it would be a dangerous mistake to fail to take seriously the harm that his mental impairment can produce.

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

Donald Trump Climate Change

That harm is evident in Trump’s waging of a reckless and illegal war against Iran, in his inflationary tariffs that burden millions of Americans with higher prices, in his Gestapo-style military invasions of American cities with immigration StormTrumpers, in his attacks on Democracy and the Constitution, particularly the free press, and so much more.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression

On Wednesday Trump spoke to a gaggle of reporters in the Oval Office and, as he often does, he wandered off topic to ramble about unrelated pet peeves. On this occasion it was British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Trump’s nightmare of those vicious and hostile windmills that he thinks are destroying nations. He said of Burnham that…

“He’s got an energy problem. He’s got windmills all over the place. And any time you see windmills you see a failing country. They’re made in China, not used by China.”

This rant is a regular part of Trump’s raving repertoire. It has been debunked too many times to count. But he is relentless and impossible to sway from the nonsense he spews about renewable energy sources. He literally believes that you TV will shut off if the wind stops blowing, and your car can’t be driven at night. And that’s just for starters.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump Declares that ‘The Days of Stupidity Are Over’ in a Stupid Anti Wind and Solar Energy Rant

For the record, here is a list of the “failing countries” that produce the most wind energy. Notice that number one is China, where Trump says they don’t use any wind energy at all. And number two is the United States, a country that, in many ways, he himself is leading into failure, but not because of wind power.

    Leading Wind Energy Producers:

  1. China: Generates over 1,135 TWh annually with a massive capacity above 640 GW.
  2. United States: Produces roughly 464 TWh with nearly 159 GW of capacity.
  3. Germany: Generates about 136 TWh, covering over 27% of its domestic electricity.
  4. Brazil: Produces close 118 TWh, accounting for about 15.6% of its generation.
  5. India: Generates around 104 TWh with a total capacity of 54.5 GW.
  6. United Kingdom: Produces roughly 86 TWh, supplying nearly 29% of British electricity.
  7. Spain: Generates about 59 TWh, representing 20.4% of total generation.
  8. Canada: Produces over 51 TWh with an installed capacity near 17.7 GW.
  9. France: Generates about 46 TWh with a capacity of 25.6 GW.
  10. Turkey: Produces roughly 39 TWh, making up 11.1% of its domestic electricity mix.

What’s more, within the U.S. the leader in wind energy is one of Trump’s favorite states, Texas, that was responsible for generating 28% of the nation’s total wind production in 2024.

Surely there people in Trump’s administration who know these facts. But they are either too devoted to disseminating his bullshittery, or too afraid to dispute him. It’s a sad state of state affairs. And it’s a pathetic way to run a country.

And yet here we are. Hopefully there will be some relief after the November midterm elections. Although even then the reality-based community must remain vigilant and engaged. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride until January.

Legal Genius Trump Sued the BBC for Defamation and Now Must Turn Over His Financial Records

Posted by on July 28, 2026 at 5:06 pm. 2 Comments :

The most litigious president in American history is, without a doubt, Donald Trump. He is reported to have filed more than thirty defamation lawsuits since the 1980s. With that experience you might think that Trump would have a pretty good idea how the law works, and how to get the most from his numerous frivolous and retributive lawsuits.

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

Donald Trump

However, Trump is clearly suffering from some sort of learning disability because, despite his frequent legal misadventures, he has never won a single case. Although he has managed to extract via settlements what were essentially bribes from conflicted corporations who were seeking government favors. But more often than not he came away with nothing after exposing himself to more embarrassment and ridicule.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump’s Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal for Reporting on Him and Epstein is Thrown Out

Trump is still making pedestrian mistakes. But then, no one has ever regarded Trump as the sharpest tool in the shed. Among them is his recent $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC, wherein he alleged that “a BBC documentary caused catastrophic harm to the value of his ‘brand, properties, and businesses.'” As reported by Meidas Touch News…

“Donald Trump just suffered another brutal courtroom defeat—and this one could force one of his most closely guarded financial entities to start handing over sensitive records.

A federal magistrate judge in Florida has ordered the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust to begin producing financial documents sought by the BBC in Trump’s sprawling defamation lawsuit.”

By identifying his “brand, properties, and businesses” as parties to his financial losses, Trump has been required to present his financial records so that the alleged financial harm can be substantiated and to ascertain appropriate compensation if he prevails. This would provide insight on all of the Trump family business affairs, including crypto and stock trading earnings.

The problems for Trump are twofold. First, it is unlikely that his business records will prove that there were any losses that could be attributed to the BCC documentary, which didn’t even air in the U.S. And secondly, once those records are presented to the court they are a matter of public record. So Trump’s financial affairs, that he has steadfastly refused to disclose for years, would become readily available to anyone who is interested them. That includes other potential litigants, prosecutors probing his criminal activities, investigative journalists, and of course voters.

Trump was recently stung by a ruling in a defamation lawsuit against him by author E. Jean Carroll. Trump had lost that case but was deploying legal tactics to avoid paying. Then a federal judge ruled that the judgment, which was being held in escrow, would be released to Carroll. Trump’s final attempt to avoid paying was foiled when his pleading to the Supreme Court was refused.

It will interesting see what Trump’s finances actually look like. Although the Court’s ruling was limited to records spanning January 1, 2023, through the present, there are still a lot of suspicious business dealings by Trump in those years. So his determination to sue the BBC may result in revelations that go way beyond that one case.

Hopefully other media enterprises will learn from this that Trump is a paper tiger who can be beaten in court, and that capitulating achieves nothing other than showing Trump that you’re weak and susceptible to more legal threats and exploitation. Don’t fall for it. Standing up for your constitutional rights is both legally and morally the right thing to do.

MAGA Mike Johnson is ‘Confident’ Republicans Will Win the Midterms Because ‘This is a God Thing’

Posted by on July 27, 2026 at 2:48 pm. 2 Comments :

The second term of Donald Trump is proving to be an even bigger failure than the first. The economy is in decline. The nation is embroiled in another quagmire in the Middle East. But Trump and his MAGA Republican Party is honed in on the upcoming midterm elections with a set of brilliant campaign strategies that are certain to deliver a historic victory – for Democrats.

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

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

Trump and the GOP are desperately afraid of their electoral prospects. So they are focusing squarely on the issues that are most popular with voters. Such as fighting a war in Iran, building vanity ballrooms, trying to rig elections by gerrymandering and suppressing voters, pardoning felons, enriching themselves through tax cuts and corruption, protecting pedophiles, and calling Democrats communists.

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

The Republican’s congressional figurehead, House Squeaker MAGA Mike Johnson, is taking the lead in his party’s crusade to retain power. In pursuit of that goal Johnson appeared on “This Week on Capitol Hill,” a program on the ultra conservative Salem News Channel that is hosted by Tony Perkins, the president of the religious right-wing Family Research Council. During that interview Johnson revealed his secret weapon for winning the midterms…

Johnson: The American people can trust House Republicans, the Republican Party, to run this government. We keep delivering and we’re gonna run all the way through the tape through the end of year. And I believe for this reason that we’re gonna win the midterms. I’m very bullish about the outcome. We talk about it all the time, and with each passing day, I’m more confident.
Perkins: You repeatedly say that you exceed the expectations of the pundits. They still don’t understand the power of prayer.
Johnson: That’s right! And look, I’ve been openly saying this. And I told a big gaggle of Hill press reporters yesterday, I said listen, THIS IS A GOD THING! It really is. And we have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying each of these things through.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he grows more confident "with each passing day" that the GOP will retain control of Congress. Why? "This is a God thing. We have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying."

— Right Wing Watch (@rightwingwatch.bsky.social) 2026-07-27T15:58:31.154Z

Johnson seemed to be leading with some comedy by asserting that “the American people can trust House Republicans…to run this government.” He has presided over the least productive Congress in modern history. Even with majorities in the House and Senate, they passed almost nothing of significance. Which left wannabe dictator Trump to rule by executive orders, many of which were struck down in court.

More troubling is Johnson’s reliance on The Almighty for his election protection. What is making him confident of victory are his “intercessory prayers” lobbying God directly for votes. Johnson has stumbled onto a fantastic strategy for electoral success: Pray to win. Let’s pray he relies on it.

Although, if prayer works the way that Johnson claims, why hasn’t it stopped the war in Iran, or ended homelessness, or mass shootings? Does Johnson really believe that God is taking sides in American politics, but ignoring actual human suffering? And is Johnson aware that prayer is bipartisan? Millions of Americans are praying every day for Trump to be removed from office.

What’s more, if Democrats win the midterms, does that mean that God prefers Democrats? Which would make sense since Republicans are a profoundly anti-Christian political party that violates the principles that Jesus preached: feeding the hungry, healing the sick, giving shelter to the homeless, welcoming refugees, etc.

Democrats will be encouraged by statements like this from Johnson. While they are out on the campaign trail, talking with and listening to voters, Republicans will be in the House chapel praying (whining?) for God to find them a few more votes and deliver them from the evil of a Democratic agenda that actually helps people, rather than just catering to corporations and the wealthy. Something tells me that Johnson’s confidence may be misplaced.

WHUT? John Fetterman Tells Fox News He Doesn’t Understand Why He’s So Popular With Republicans

Posted by on July 26, 2026 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

Politicians quite often are not the most self-aware individuals in American society. They frequently are driven by ego and self-interest, which results in them distorting reality (aka lying) or simply failing to grasp what is obvious to everyone else.

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

Fox News, Fake News

Sen. John Fetterman (PA-FOX) is a prime example of someone suffering from this unique type of OCD (Oblivious Complicit Disorder). Although he was elected as a progressive Democrat, he has transitioned to a new role as a reliable Republican enabler who seems to cherish his service as a traitorous MAGA flunky. Which goes to prove that you can’t always count on opportunistic pols being predictable. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

On Saturday Fetterman took up his post on Fox News, where he has become as regular as their paid contributors. He was interviewed by Donald Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who really has no business being employed by an alleged news network. Just imagine the outcry if CNN had hired Hunter Biden as a host while his father was in the White House.

In the interview Lara prefaced her question by noting that Fetterman has been supportive of Trump with regard to strikes on Iran and voter ID. Of course he has. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been invited to be interviewed. Then she lobs a softball, asking him what he hears from his constituents. Fetterman replies that most of what he hears is positive, then elaborates…

“I’ve seen polling where why I’m so popular with Republicans. I don’t really understand that. But I’m always gonna treat both sides with respect. We can agree on what we can, or we’re gonna disagree in a respectful way. And I’m not gonna call people like ‘You’re a Nazi, you’re a fascist, or you’re trying to destroy democracy,’ and use those things.”

It’s hard to believe that Fetterman really doesn’t understand why he is popular with Republicans. Perhaps it has something to do with his appearing on Fox News at least twice a week to bash Democrats and stick up for Trump. If he really doesn’t understand why that would make him popular with Republicans, then he is too mentally impaired to serve in Congress.

Fetterman went on to take a rational sounding position about disagreeing with others without being disagreeable. And he insists that he wouldn’t resort to calling his political foes names. But if he actually feels that way, why would he appear on Fox News where they regularly call Democrats terrorists and communists who are out to destroy America? Doesn’t he realize that he is validating that vile rhetoric?

It’s hard to know what happened to Fetterman. He started out as a reasonable liberal representative. Then he had a stroke, followed by struggles with severe clinical depression and anxiety. Democrats came to his defense when Republicans began portraying him as cognitively disabled. But he nevertheless has embraced his GOP attackers. And of course, given his new right-wing opinions, they no longer attack him. In fact, they are trying to persuade him to switch parties.

There is no mystery as to where this is headed. Fetterman will be primaried and lose the Democratic nomination for reelection. Hopefully his Democratic successor will win the seat in 2028. In the meantime Democrats will have to endure his betrayal. While he still claims to be a Democrat who votes more often with his party, he is doing more harm than good by cozying up to Fox News.

What’s more, Fetterman seems to enjoy dangling the possibility of party switching over the heads of his Democratic colleagues. He has become this year’s Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin. But his time in that role will be brief. And Democrats will just have to win a large enough majority in November to cancel out his contrarian votes.

Did Trump Write His WHCA Speech? That Would Explain Why It Was So Awful! Even He Thought So

Posted by on July 25, 2026 at 3:18 pm. 1 Comments :

On Friday night the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner took place in Washington, DC. It was a scaled down affair that was only held to prove that a violent protestor couldn’t shape the course of political discourse in America.

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

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

Much of the event was dedicated to its primary purpose, which is to raise money for charity and to give awards for excellence in journalism and advocacy of free speech and the Constitution’s Fist Amendment. It served those purposes admirably. Then, unfortunately, it went on to feature an address by Donald Trump, who despises the Constitution and especially the First Amendment. He proceeded to make a fool of himself, and by extension, America, for which he has a renowned talent. Particularly with regard to the media.

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression

Trump spoke at length about his vanity ballroom. He bragged about supposedly coining the term “Dumocrat.” And naturally, he exalted himself as the only important person in the room, or the country, saying that “When I’m not around, you’re gonna be broke. There’s not gonna be anybody to report on. Nobody gives a damn about anybody else.” That’s why there is a picture of Trump in the dictionary under “Malignant Narcissism (see psychopath).”

The WHCA Dinner is known for featuring humorous speakers, including the president. But Trump was struggling from start. After getting no laughs for a line about a Senator’s wife who told him “‘I want to have you immediately come up the stairs and make love to me.’ And he said, ‘I can’t do both,'” Trump complained “That was actually the only thing I thought was good in this whole frickin’ stupid speech that they wrote.”

Shortly thereafter he asked “Does anybody understand this stuff?” At another point Trump set up an insult/joke about Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (who he called the governor of Chicago) and Rep. Jerry Nadler, saying that they were “fighting for a big fat piece of cheesecake.” When no one laughed at that he asked “Who the hell wrote that line?”

By every indication, it seems that Trump wrote that line, and most of the rest of the speech that even he thought was bombing. It was comprised of rehashed insults that Trump has been disgorging for years. And the targets of his trash-talk were the same people he has been repeatedly maligning at his MAGA rallies to the thrills of his cult disciples. There was little if anything new. What follows are some of the retreads he laid out Friday night for the journalists who have heard it all at least 100 times.

“Before I came along, if you wanted to see someone lose consciousness on the South Lawn of the White House, all you had to do is ask Joe Biden a question.”

“I can exclusively reveal to you this evening that for the heaviest of the heavyweights, we will have sloppy Chris Christie.”

“We had a contest for who had the lowest ratings and the lowest IQ on television. And that was actually Don Lemon.”

“What about Bruce Springsteen? What the hell happened to that guy? He looks like hell…I don’t look so bad…The tour has been renamed Bored in the USA.

“This year the association decided not to have a comedian, so they considered using Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon. These guys, they’re terrible. They’re terrible. Stephen Colbert. These are people without talent…They’re not funny people. They’re angry people. They’re sick people.”

“They thought about going with a professional clown for entertainment, but Adam Shifty Schiff was not available…He’s a liar. And I called him Watermelon Head.”

“Then I’m told that even Rosie O’Donnell reached out from Ireland…she’s one of the greatest sufferers of Trump derangements.”

“I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlyn Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It’s a fake. She shouldn’t get the award. It was a fake…But she’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles…I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can. It was Dylan Mulvaney.”

“I’m very disappointed they didn’t bring Fake Tapper.”

“I was disappointed that Gavin Newsom didn’t show up…He’s incapable of reading a speech. He’s a low-IQ person.”

“Ilhan Omar, one of my favorites, and her brother are thinking about moving together…she’s a low IQ person, and she’s also a very dishonest person, and she ought to get the hell out of our country.”

“We invited Elizabeth Pocahontas, Warren. She’s referred to Pocahontas.”

“I wanted to make sure that Jack Smith, deranged Jack Smith…this guy was a deranged lunatic.”

“Chuck Schumer, cryin’ Chuck…he’s a proud, very proud Palestinian.”

“In Texas the Democrats are running a candidate named James Talefreako [Talarico], who hates guns, hates oil, hates sex, hates women, and who said he is a Christian who hates Christianity.”

And remember, those are supposed to be jokes. Trump was scheduled to speak for 40 minutes, but true to form, he went on tediously for more than an hour. Aside from the above attempts at “humor,” Trump’s speech was jampacked with incoherent rambling and nonsensical lies. In other words, it was exactly like every other speech Trump has given in the past ten years. And even he thought it sucked.

HUH? Stable Genius Trump Threatens to Tariff Mexico for its Lettuce and Canada for its Smoke

Posted by on July 24, 2026 at 3:53 pm. 0 Comments :

In the midst of an economic downturn that has most Americans struggling to afford basic necessities such as gas, groceries, healthcare, housing, etc., the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump, is working diligently to make things even worse.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Typically, Trump is demonstrating that he couldn’t care less about the hardships that are burdening the American people. But he is also ignoring the harm he’s causing to the electoral prospects of his Republican confederates, whose looming defeats will contribute to his becoming the lamest of ducks for the last two years of his term.

SEE THIS: LOL: Trump Posts Democratic Governor’s Memo Proving He ‘Has Zero Credibility on Election Security’

So how is Trump responding to the economic crises that he faces as the midterm elections approach? He’s persisting with, and even escalating, his reckless, illegal, and expensive war against Iran. And on top of that, he’s threatening America’s allies with expanding his inflationary tariffs, which will result in even higher prices for American consumers.

On Friday morning Trump announced that he is increasing tariffs on our Europe Union trading partners, supposedly because they levied fines on American technology companies for violations of EU laws. That’s a profoundly stupid way to react to the judicial rulings by foreign courts against private corporations. But it wasn’t the stupidest thing that Trump did Friday morning. Have a listen to the following exchange with Peter Doocy of Fox News…

Doocy: There’s a nasty parasite that is giving people in nine states explosive diarrhea. When is it gonna be safe to eat lettuce again.
Trump: I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it. First time I’ve been asked that question. Are you eating a lot of lettuce recently?
Doocy: There’s this food coming in, I guess from Mexico. It’s tainted. It’s making a lot of people sick. That is the CDC’s terminology.
Trump: I think what it is, we’re gonna put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce, and we’re gonna put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.

Q: When is it going to be safe to eat lettuce again?Trump: I don't know. I haven't thought about it. There's this, there's this food coming in, I guess. From Mexico. We're gonna put a major tariff on Mexico because of the lettuce, and we're gonna put a big tariff on Canada because of the smoke.

Let’s break down this episode of Trumpian trash-talk, beginning with his admission that, before this, he has never thought about the health crisis that is sickening thousands of Americans, and when it might be resolved. That should bring comfort to a nation reeling with anxiety about what is safe to eat for themselves and their families.

More troubling is when he does get around to addressing his solution to the problem, it is a kneejerk, all-purpose proposal to slap tariffs on the “offending” country. Where Trump gets the idea that a tariff will result in untainted produce is anyone’s guess. It will just make all produce more expensive in the U.S.

Making matters worse is Trump’s threat to add more tariffs to Canada. He seems to think that making everything that the U.S. imports from Canada more expensive is a good way to put an end to wildfires and the nefarious actions by those evil, anti-American global wind patterns.

So Trump is punishing America’s top trading partners for ridiculous reasons that lean more toward satisfying his bruised ego, than resolving real problems. What’s next? Will Trump slap tariffs on France for not awarding him the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival? Will he tariff McDonalds for making him fat? Will he tariff Blue States for not voting for him? Oh wait…he already did that, sort of…

Trump’s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans

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

America’s Grifter-In-Chief, Donald Trump, has an impressive ability to stay firmly focused on unique, albeit illegal, methods of enriching himself at all times. Some reports reveal that he has already earned billions in just his second occupation of the White House. Trump has proven that, no matter what other pressing issues might arise, he cannot be distracted from his prime directive of personal wealth creation.

Trump Baby on Cash Pile

That’s right. It is practically impossible to divert Trump from his purposeful greed even when facing catastrophes such as wars with Middle East terrorists, or domestic economic crises that financially burden the nation’s populace, or rogue immigration thugs harassing and even killing innocent people, or threats to public health, or pedophiles running free to victimize more children. And complying with the law is a formality that he feels free to ignore.

SEE THIS: Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

Last week Trump’s dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, introduced a new fangled way of depositing dollars into his bank accounts. They announced that well-heeled investors and financial institutions would be able to buy “fastest access” to the market moving comments that Trump posts on his Twitter ripoff. That way they can profit by trading on this insider information before it is available to the general public. These Wall Street traders and investment firms would pony up as much as $100,000 a month to Trump for this privilege.

Scams like this are necessary for Truth Social since it is such an abysmal failure whose stock has suffered a 90% decline from its high mark. However, there has been some notable blowback on this new and blatantly unethical, if not outright illegal, project. According to Bloomberg News…

“Senators in both parties are questioning a plan by President Donald Trump’s media company to sell real-time access to Truth Social posts to Wall Street firms.

“The sharpest criticisms have come from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who on Tuesday blasted the move as ‘the exact definition of insider trading.’ But even within the president’s own party, several key senators raised concerns about the propriety of the move.”

Republicans who are nervous about Trump’s most recent venture into criminality are beginning to speak out about it. Here’s what some of them are saying…

  • Chuck Grassley: “If it’s got anything to do with insider trading, it would be illegal.”
  • Thom Tillis: Trump could be “wading into a gray area.”
  • Lisa Murkowski: “I hope he’s not thinking about that.”
  • John Thune: “My assumption is that will get tested somewhere.”

These are not particularly bold pronouncements of support for law and order. But for Republicans it’s probably the best we can get. If we’re lucky they will summon up the courage to hold Trump accountable and force him to obey they law. If not, Democrats will do it by themselves after they take control of Congress following the midterm elections.

This new scam by Trump isn’t happening in a vacuum. His Truth Social has been skimming the borders of impropriety since it was first conceived. What follows are some examples…

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 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 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.

LOL: Trump Posts Democratic Governor’s Memo Proving He ‘Has Zero Credibility on Election Security’

Posted by on July 22, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The midterm election is just a little more than three months away. And the closer it gets, the more riddled with anxiety Donald Trump and his MAGA-tists become. Trump’s approval ratings continue to be dragged down by his reckless and illegal war against Iran, his mismanagement of the domestic economy, and his overall distasteful demeanor that is comprised mostly of his noxious hatred and relentless lying.

Donald Trump

Trump’s response to his persistent and spreading unpopularity has been to focus his attention on a subject that he seems to think is uppermost on the minds of the American people: Alleged election fraud in 2020. It’s a strategy that is simultaneously outdated, while actually being aimed at rigging future elections, which his White House minions are boldly admitting in public.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Homeland Security Honcho Threatens to Arrest and Imprison Disobedient Election Officials

On Tuesday night Trump was engaged in what he appears to believe are the essential duties of an American president: Shit-posting on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He unloaded more than thirty rants before noon on Wednesday. They were all teetering on the brink of sanity, while serving no purpose other than to exalt himself.

In one particular comment, Trump reposted a memo from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding a technical glitch in the state’s voter registration system. In her memo, Gov. Sherrill disclosed that a software error resulted in some non-citizens mistakenly being added to the state’s voter registration rolls. There was no nefarious plot by Democrats or evil foreigners, or any deliberate intent to deceive. It was clearly not a case of election fraud by any rational standard. The mistaken registrations were recorded for Democrats, Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters.

What’s more, fewer then 6% of the errors – 0.009% of all voters – resulted in invalid votes mistakenly cast. No election outcomes were affected. And on top of all of that, Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) would not have prevented any of it. Nevertheless, Trump declared that it was “Rigged Elections!!!” at the top of his post.

What’s funny is that the memo that Trump posted also had some decidedly negative assessments of Trump’s own disingenuous and self-serving efforts to interfere with the conduct of free and fair elections. Gov. Sherrill wrote that…

“As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans’ faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.”

That’s a damn good summary of Trump’s un-American, anti-constitutional, scheming to accomplish what he has been falsely accusing Democrats of doing. And in a subsequent comment Trump actually made the case against his Voter Suppression bill. That comment attempted to counter the valid arguments that his Voter Suppression bill would place too big a burden on legitimate voters. It proposed providing free access to “birth certificates, citizenship-marked IDs, mobile units in rural areas, digital options, and assistance for elderly/disabled.”

However, none of those things are in Trump’s bill. So that post is, in effect, conceding that Trump’s bill actually does pose unacceptable burdens for legitimate voters. And combined with the fact that it doesn’t prevent invalid voters, there is no other conclusion than that Trump’s bill should be rejected.

America needs more voter participation, not less. And Trump needs to STFU until he has some verifiable evidence that to support his complaints. Which he hasn’t been able to provide for over six years now.
