Trump Flunky Kari Lake is Blocked From Silencing the Voice of America By a GOP-Appointed Judge

Posted by on August 29, 2025 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

High on the priority list for Donald Trump in his second occupation of the White House has been his fierce determination to subjugate the media to his will. He has endeavored furiously to clamp down on the free press and to reshape the White House press corps into a slobbering cabal of sycophants.

Statue of Liberty, Blind, Muzzled

In the process, Trump installed blindly loyal and unflinching servants to his anti-democratic and flagrantly censorious agenda. Among them was the failed Arizona gubernatorial and senate candidate, Kari Lake. Trump created a new position for her to reign over what used to be the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees multiple international broadcasting networks including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Radio Free Asia (RFA), Radio Television Martí, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (MBN), and the Voice of America (VOA). And Lake began immediately to dismantle the entire operation and/or redefine its mission to become a Trump Propaganda Disseminator.

Fortunately, the Trump/Lake Department of Disinformation suffers from the same inherent flaws that have hobbled almost every other government agency over which Trump rules: terminal stupidity and incompetence. And as a result, it is struggling to complete its unholy mission of strangling one of the most effective international news networks ever conceived. As reported by NPR (another network that Trump is trying to destroy) reported that…

“A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Trump administration official Kari Lake can’t unilaterally fire the director of Voice of America, saying she’s breaking the law in trying to do so.

“Instead, by law, Lake must have the explicit backing of an advisory panel set up by Congress to help insulate the international broadcaster and its sister networks from political pressure. As President Trump dismissed six of the seven members of the panel shortly after taking office and has not named their replacements to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Lake cannot take such an action.”

Lake and her Justice Department lawyers were humiliated in court when U.S Senior District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that “The defendants do not even feign that their efforts to remove [director of VOA, Michael] Abramowitz comply with that statutory requirement, There is no longer a question of whether the termination was lawful.”

Lake expressed confidence that she would prevail on appeal because “elections have consequences.” Which is precisely the sort of rank politicization that the law was crafted to avoid. Then she made an obtuse and irrelevant reference to the Constitution and called Lamberth a “radical.” Never mind that he was appointed to the bench by conservative icon Ronald Reagan. Lamberth warned the Justice Department attorneys that they were “verging on contempt of court” for failing to provide information that he had demanded for months.

It remains to be seen how this matter will resolve. Trump has demonstrated that he is not averse to ignoring judicial mandates. Which is why the rule of law is in such a precarious state under the wannabe dictator currently smelling up the Oval Office. But at least the courts are remaining true to the law and the Constitution – for now. And if the people and their representatives remain stalwart in defense of American principles, we will prevail in the long run. Keep hope alive!

Dotard Trump Tries to Attack Gov. Wes Moore By Linking to an Article that Actually Praises Him

Posted by on August 28, 2025 at 12:29 pm. 0 Comments :

Nothing is more predictable in modern politics than the barrage of belligerence by Donald Trump aimed at his perceived enemies and political foes. It doesn’t take much to set him off, and when it happens it generally results in a typically asinine assault that is brimming with unbridled hostility.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Just such an incident took place on Wednesday when Trump was triggered by…well, god knows what causing him to take some wild swings at Maryland Governor Wes Moore. It may have been due to something Moore said in an interview, or just Trump letting off some of the seething steam that is ever present in his curmudgeonly cranium. He doesn’t really need, or have, a legitimate reason.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

The attack on Gov. Moore was a peculiar little tirade that was something less than coherent. Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that even his most devoted cult followers might have found indecipherable. In a 2:12 AM comment Trump wrote only…

“But is that the end of his political career. He was very disrespectful to the Office of the President!”

That’s it! Trump didn’t bother to give any context to his comment other than a link to an article in The Hill. He didn’t mention whose political career he thinks should be ending or how he was disrespectful. But for anyone who clicked through to the article they would have found a story – that was published a year ago – about Gov. Moore. And for the most part, it was pretty positive. It described Moore as…

“…a rising star in the Democratic Party, served in the Army Reserve between 1996 and 2014. He was deployed to Afghanistan in August 2005 through March 2006. Though he has won multiple awards for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal, he stated on a 2006 application for the White House Fellowship that his service won him the award of a Bronze Star.”

WOW! So Moore is a patriot who served his country honorably, with distinction and courage. And Trump, a five time draft dodger who insults fallen warriors as “suckers” and “losers” has a problem with that?

Apparently what Trump is perturbed about is the Bronze Star matter. But the article went on to offer Moore’s explanation that he was advised to include the Bronze Star commendation in the White House Fellowship application by his commander, who made the recommendation for the medal and assured him that he would receive it. However, the paperwork didn’t go through properly and the commendation didn’t become official at that time.

The general who made the original recommendation didn’t learn about the paperwork snafu until recently, then corrected the mistake and the medal was finally awarded in 2024. So the Army’s acknowledgement of Moore’s heroism was truthful and is now a part of his record. Which Trump likely knows, or should know. As for Moore, he is on record having responded to this matter, noting that the disparagement of patriots has long been a part of the Republican Party’s political attack plan.

“Over the last few weeks, our country has grown used to seeing what it looks like when a veteran’s integrity is attacked for political gain. But those who seek to cast doubt on our records misunderstand something fundamental about true patriots, who have put on the flag of our country and put everything on the line to be called Americans: We don’t get shaken. We put our heads down, and we do the work. And that is what I will continue to do.”

Trump’s dishonest and infantile attack on Moore is consistent with his prior remarks about the Governor. Last week Trump flagrantly lied that Moore had told Trump that he was “the greatest president of my lifetime” when they met at an Army/Navy football game. Anyone with mere common sense and an attachment to reality would have known that that was false.

However, just to put an even finer point on it, a video dug up by Fox News (yeah, Fox News) proves that Trump was lying. And not just about the flattery that never occurred, but also about the accusation that Moore was “very disrespectful to the Office of the President!”?

Trump’s imaginary friend. Fox News airs video proving Trump is a liar. Maryland Governor Wes Moore never said to Trump, “You’re the greatest president of my lifetime” upon meeting him at football game, as Trump claims.

Trump Threatens to Prosecute George Soros and Others for Supporting Protests Against Dear Leader

Posted by on August 27, 2025 at 12:42 pm. 2 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump continue to reveal themselves in the comments that he posts on his failing Twitter tipoff, Truth Social. Perhaps having his own platform for disseminating propaganda liberates him to freely express the most vile thoughts, filled with animus and vengeance.

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

George Soros, Donald Trump

In the past few weeks Trump has openly advocated for the harassment of his political foes by his personal legal team, previously known as the Department of Justice. He is abusing his power by directing his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate and indict everyone from Sen. Adam Schiff, to New York Attorney General Letitia James, to everyone who served honorably on the House Committee to Investigate January 6th.

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

Now Trump is making a public threat to billionaire philanthropist and progressive donor, George Soros. The offense that Trump is charging Soros with is his having the temerity to criticize Dear Leader and to help American citizens who share those criticisms to exercise their constitutional rights to peaceably assembly to redress their grievances. Trump raged that…

“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

First of all, Soros is hardly a radical leftist. He is a devout advocate of democracy who fled Nazi-occupied Hungary as a child, made his way to London and then New York,, became an American citizen, and built a fortune in the capitalist equity markets. He was even honored as “Person of the Year” by the Financial times. That’s who Trump, a faker who inherited his wealth and lost much of it in a variety of scams, thinks is a lunatic who shouldn’t be allowed express himself or engage in political activities.

The Rabid Right has long regarded Soros as something akin to the Anti-Christ. They lob bitter, anti-Semitic insults at him. They accuse every progressive in America of being on the Soros payroll. I’m still waiting for my paycheck. If Soros had paid every protester that the right has accused him of funding, he would have depleted his fortune decades ago. And none of the funds that he has donated to groups that organize legal protests has supported or resulted in violence. That’s just another Trump lie.

However, don’t be mistaken that Trump is only interested in beating down Soros. He is laying the groundwork to oppress anyone who opposes his flagrantly tyrannical ambitions. He wants to use RICO laws (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) to silence any and all dissent from his fascist MAGA cult movement. He says so explicitly with reference to Soros’ “group of psychopaths” and “West Coast friends” to whom Trump issues a chilling warning to “Be careful, we’re watching you!”

Well, let’s put Trump on notice. We are watching him too. And we’re watching his minions who aid and abet his anti-American objectives. A day of reckoning will come. America will not fall to his dystopian dreams of totalitarianism. And folks like Soros, and Schiff, and California Governor Gavin Newsom (who Trump said should be arrested), will be memorialized as heroes and patriots. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

UPDATE: George Soros’ Open Society Foundation responds…

The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chaired by Alex Soros, do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous.

Trump’s Propaganda Minister Maligns the Democratic Party as a ‘Domestic Extremist Organization’

Posted by on August 26, 2025 at 1:46 pm. 2 Comments :

In the process of emulating the authoritarian regimes that he so admires, Donald Trump is executing the very same strategies perfected by the oppressive dictators who have preceded him. He is parroting their domination of government, the legislature, the judiciary, and the media. He has clearly studied the playbook authored by the likes of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.

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

Fox News, Stephen Miller

The evidence of Trump’s autocratic ambitions is apparent in his disrespect for court orders, his rounding up of those he considers “undesirable,” his purging of career civil servants who fail to declare their devotion to him, and his punishing the press that doesn’t publish glowingly positive reviews of his every word and deed.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

Assisting Trump in this mission to transform America into a fascist state is his Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller – aka Santa Monice Goebbels. As a senior White House official, Miller holds great sway with Trump and directs much of the activity that is generated from the Oval Office.

In his capacity as Minister of Propaganda, Miller regularly appears on Trump’s Disinformation Network, Fox News, to unveil the administration’s anti-American edicts. In his latest harangue Miller whines to Sean Hannity that Democrats are not thanking Trump for deploying military troops throughout major American cities (although only those led by Black mayors). But it’s much worse than that. Miller descends into a dystopian darkness wherein his political foes are no better than violent gangs and drug cartels. In fact, he literally accuses Democrats of being “dedicated exclusively” to such criminal outfits.

“Democrat Party does not fight for, represent, or care about American citizens. It is an entity dedicated exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers, and illegal alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization. […] the Democrat Party as it exists today, it disgusts me. I do not recognize that party.”

Trump's Goebbels, Stephen Miller, on the Fox propaganda network yesterday: "The Democrat [sic] Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization."This clip is being promoted by Sean Hannity and Fox social media accounts on Facebook and TikTok and YouTube.

— Brad Johnson (@climatebrad.hillheat.com) 2025-08-26T15:37:58.748Z

It is worth noting that Miller is not an Internet troll spewing garbage political rants to an audience of mentally challenged MAGA-ites. He is a senior official in the Trump White House. And he is accusing the Democratic Party of being the political representatives of criminals and terrorists. Which is a peculiar accusation coming from a top aide of Trump who is a convicted felon, and who has pardoned numerous other felons, including domestic terrorists (See January 6th).

It is also worth noting that the Democratic Party’s registration exceeds that of Republicans or Independents. So Miller’s malicious comments are damning the majority party of the American people.

What’s more, Miller’s choice of words puts Democrats into the same category of slime bucket as MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, Tren de Aragua, etc. And by doing so he is setting the stage for Democrats to be legally harassed by Trump’s “Justice” Department, and even to be incarcerated or deported under national security based policies aimed at those that Trump has designated as domesticate terrorists.

Making matters even worse, while Miller was on Fox News, Trump was holding court at the White House and telling the assembled press that many in their own ranks were equally as guilty of being domestic terrorists. Responding to a question about his migrant harassment policies, Trump said that…

“They showed one scene where a bunch of Tren de Aragua guys, or whatever. Maybe MS-13. Maybe MSDNC, Okay? Because to me, they’re worse. MSNBC maybe is worse than Tren de Aragua. Real scum.”

Trump: "MSNBC maybe is worse than Tren de Aragua."

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-08-26T17:18:44.037Z

This remark may have started out as an uncomfortably unfunny joke, but Trump quickly changed to a more obviously serious tone. It was not unlike his recent comments wherein he approvingly referred to the many people who he says would “rather have a dictator” than a president. It’s the second time he’s said that in two days. Is he trying to condition his flock to accept him in that role?

Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

Posted by on August 25, 2025 at 12:50 pm. 0 Comments :

The massive, yet fragile, ego of Donald Trump is utterly incapable of tolerating even the slightest criticism from anyone. Particularly the media. And his delusional impression of himself as the infallible, messiah-like overlord of America often results in his frantic condemnations of those who fail to show him the worshipful adoration that he’s convinced that he deserves.

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

On Monday morning Trump posted a couple of comments to his failing Truth Social propaganda platform that expressed his outrage at the press for not drooling over every atrocious initiative that he shoves down the nation’s throat. Such as his recent threats to deploy military troops to occupy various American cities that just happen to be led by Black mayors or governors.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Trump began his harangue by bragging about his imaginary popularity. For the record, he is languishing near the bottom of the garbage heap of unpopular presidents. A recent Pew Research poll puts his approval at a dismal 38%, with 60% disapproval. That’s in line with almost every other credible poll. But it’s not the way that Trump sees it. He raged that…

“Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA”

Whenever Trump cites something “according to many,” he is referring to his slobbering sycophants and/or the disembodied voices in his mush-filled head. In reality, the past eight months have seen the cost of living rise due to Trump’s taxes (tariffs), continuing and escalating wars, assaults on civil liberties and the Constitution, degradation of the environment, efforts to rig upcoming elections, and many more steps toward the dystopia that he hungers for.

Naturally, Trump takes out his anger and fear on the media, like almost every other totalitarian usurper before him. If he doesn’t want to have 97% bad stories, he might want to try not doing 100% bad things. Among which includes his threats to suppress the media by revoking their licenses. [FYI: National broadcast and cable news networks are not licensed by the federal government, so there are no licenses to revoke. Although he could threaten local broadcast affiliates]

Trump’s complaint that the free press is a “threat to democracy” is just another example of his projection in an attempt to impose his agenda of censorship. You’ll notice that he isn’t worried about networks like Fox News or Newsmax or OAN, where he gets 100% positive press. But he was just getting started. A second posting seethed that…

“Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren’t paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES. They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ‘journalism’ should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!”

True to form, Trump is fixated on the financial component of this matter. He views everything in terms of how it might impact his pocketbook. However, his tantrum over what he perceives as “unfair coverage of Republicans” is grossly misplaced. Even if he were correct (he’s not), it would be totally inappropriate for him to dictate how the media reports the news. It is perfectly legal to have opinions and take sides. And doing so does not justify dictating how the coverage should be framed in his own biased opinion, or penalizing the press for exercising their constitutional rights.

Finally, Trump closed his tirade with his demand that any media that doesn’t comply with his dictates “should be terminated!!!” Which is a lesson that he has learned from his mentors and idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. He would love to see journalists kowtow to him out of fear, the way they do in Russia, China, and North Korea. Even though the American media has bees extraordinarily lenient with him, failing to follow up on his relentless lies and ignorant babbling. In a sane media world, deliberate crapola like this would never be allowed to go by unchallenged…

LOLOLOL: Trump's posts are starting to look more and more like the posts by Gavin Newsom mocking him. @GovPressOfficeTrump is such a pitifully infantile embarrassment to America. How can his cult followers continue to worship him?

MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

Posted by on August 24, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

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

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

SEE THIS: Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-24T00:17:23.360Z

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

TACO Trump Gives Putin Another 2 Weeks – No, Really, 2 Weeks – and He Really Means It This Time

Posted by on August 23, 2025 at 1:18 pm. 0 Comments :

Whenever Donald Trump is asked a question that requires him to make a commitment as to when he will achieve a particular goal, he responds with the vague assurance that it will be completed “in two weeks.” That’s the deadline for everything from his still nonexistent healthcare plan, his infrastructure bill, the release of his tax filings, providing the “irrefutable” evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, and so much more.

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

Donald Trump Vladimir Putin

Now we can add to that list Trump’s promise that he will make a decision about what consequences Vladimir Putin will face if he doesn’t agree to a ceasefire in the war that he launched against Ukraine. Not that Trump is ever going to make Putin pay for anything. Trump has still never criticized Putin in any significant way. And with regard to the war, Trump generally blames either President Biden or Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, while always defending his mentor and idol, Putin.

SEE THIS: Trump Admits that He Has Been Protecting Vladimir Putin and Russia From ‘Really Bad Things’

During an Oval Office press avail, Trump was asked whether he had any comment about Russia having bombed an American factory in Ukraine. Rather than expressing the outrage that any rational president would feel, Trump merely said that “I’m not happy about it,” before diverting to bragging about his allegedly having ended ten other wars (he didn’t). Returning the question at hand, Trump said that…

“We’ll see what happens. I think over the next two weeks, we’re going to find out which way it’s going to go. And I better be very happy.”

That’s right. Two weeks. Again. This was already one week after Trump met with Putin in Alaska. Prior to the Alaska summit, Trump gave Putin a 50 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire. Within a few days Trump reduced that to ten days. However, even that deadline passed without any action on Trump’s part.

Then after another round of meetings with Zelenskyy and European Union leaders, Trump has still done nothing and, uncharacteristically, said little. What little he has said has suggested that the impasse is the fault of Zelenskyy for not immediately agreeing to Putin’s terms, which include surrendering parts of Ukraine and foregoing NATO membership. And for that Trump thinks that he deserves a Nobel Peace prize. NBC News reported some additional comments by Trump…

“I’m going to make a decision as to what we do, and it’s going to be, it’s going to be a very important decision, and that’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs, or both. Or do we do nothing and say, ‘It’s your fight.’”

Well, that settles it then. Trump is strongly declaring his intention to do something, or nothing at all. Which perfectly encapsulates Trump’s notoriously wishy-washy approach to diplomacy. Putin will surely be persuaded by this stalwart display of spinelessness. And knowing that Trump has given him only two weeks to respond puts even more pressure on him to comply. Because once that deadline has been reached Trump will be forced to…come up with a new deadline. Because, as we know, Trump Always Chickens Out.

Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Posted by on August 22, 2025 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

The burdens that fall upon aspiring dictators like Donald Trump are difficult to comprehend for mere proponents of democracy and freedom. They are constantly faced with treacherous choices involving maintaining their power and suppressing their unwilling subjects.

Donald Trump

In the wake of Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital, he is now contemplating how he will deal with any other American city that he has deemed unfit for occupation by decent folks, by which he means white, Christian, MAGA devotees. Those are the cities that Trump complains are run by the “radical left lunatics” of the Democratic party.

SEE THIS: Trump’s ‘Weaponization Working Group’ Lives Down to Its Name with Threats to Persecute Democrats

In a post to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump threatened to send troops to New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, to do what he has already done in Washington, D.C. Which is to create a police-state environment and harass its residents and visitors.

Trump’s justification for invading these cities is his assertion that they are crime-ridden swamps where everyone is too frightened to leave their homes. Never mind that the evidence for that is nonexistent. To the contrary, crime in D.C. has been declining in recent years. Despite that, Trump posted a comment taking credit for that decline, and threatening local officials who fail to obey his authority…

“Washington, D.C. is SAFE AGAIN! The crowds are coming back, the spirit is high. […] As bad as it sounds to say, there were no murders this week for the first time in memory. Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen, including a complete and total Federal takeover of the City!”

That, however, was just an appetizer for Trump’s hunger for domination. He later told reporters that…

“To me, DC is very exciting. And a lot of people say, where is he going from there? Well, I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.”

Trump: "To me, DC is very exciting. And a lot of people say, where is he going from there? Well, I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles … "

Yeah, sure. According to Trump, big strong men, with tears in their eyes, are begging for him to come to their rescue. Trump went on to lie about how he allegedly saved Los Angeles, and that everyone was “fudging the numbers” about crime having gone down in D.C.

Once again, it’s Trump’s numbers that are pure fiction. He says that people are going out to eat now for the first time in years. But the data from the restaurants in D.C. shows that dining has dropped as much as 31% since Trump sent in his troops.

The same is true more broadly for all crimes in the cities that Trump is now considering to occupy. Trump’s boasting that “there were no murders this week for the first time in memory,” is more evidence of either his severely flawed memory, or his flagrant dishonesty. And the brief pause in crime is much less impressive when you know that that happens all the time. For instance…

[Note: The following is sourced to ChatGPT and may not reflect some recent data due to delays in municipal crime reporting procedures and the peculiarities of AI. But the trends are likely to be pretty accurate over the long run]

Washington, D.C.: The most recent homicide was on August 5, eighteen days ago. The one before that was July 4, a month prior to the last one. In the first six months of 2025, the homicide rate declined by 19% compared to Jan-June 2024.

Chicago: The most recent homicide was on August 14, nine days ago. The one before that was July 2, more than a month prior to the last one. The overall homicide trend in Chicago is down, with last year’s total being the lowest since 2019.

New York: The most recent homicide was on August 17, six days ago. The one before that was July 28, about three weeks prior to the last one. From January 1 through May 31, the city saw just 112 homicides, the lowest number on record for that period.

Los Angeles: The most recent homicide was on August 16, seven days ago. The one before that was July 10, more than a month prior to the last one. The city is on pace for its lowest yearly total in nearly 60 years.

Given the reality that crime is being well managed in America’s biggest cities, Trump’s hankering for a fascist takeover is hardly justified. It is just another attempt on his part to impose his tyrannical will on a nation that is deeply opposed to him and his anti-democratic policies. A recent Pew Research poll puts his approval at a dismal 38%, with 60% disapproval.

With his still unresolved connections to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, his failure to make any progress with Vladimir Putin in ending Russia’s war against Ukraine, and his incompetent economic agenda causing cost of living to increase, no wonder Trump is trying to focus the nation’s attention on some other atrocity for a while. It aint gonna work.

Ted Cruz Tries to Smear Democrats for the ‘Most Egregious Gerrymanders’ but Fails Egregiously

Posted by on August 21, 2025 at 2:28 pm. 0 Comments :

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been engaged in a fierce battle with Republicans who are plotting to steal the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. The GOP is scheming to rig the elections by imposing an unprecedented and unconstitutional mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Donald Trump.

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

To counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off. In response to Newsom’s efforts, Republicans have tried to justify their election rigging by accusing Democrats of what the GOP is doing. It’s a wholly disingenuous argument coming from the people who started this redistricting war.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Among the Republicans who are trying to blame Democrats for the current political posturing is Texas senator Ted Cruz, who has made political posturing an art form. He posted a question on Twitter/X for Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, asking it to “Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders.” Grok replied that it was both parties with Democrats being three out of the five…

That response didn’t really affirm that Democrats were more nefarious gerrymanderers, as Cruz had hoped. But neither was it a vindication of either party. So it seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list beyond merely five states. And that produced a very different result…

The longer list shows that Republicans were the most egregious gerrymanderers in seven out of the top ten states. So Cruz was either deliberately distorting the results by limiting his question to five states, or he simply didn’t care to get a broader, more accurate view.

That’s typical of the modern, MAGA-infested Republican Party. They are purposefully seeking to deceive voters because they know that the truth will reflect badly on them. As Stephen Colbert once observed, “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

This was confirmed last night by Fox News hack Sean Hannity, who complained about Newsom “spen[ding] the last several weeks bashing president Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more.” Hannity pretended to be concerned about whether this was helping or hurting Democrats. He concluded that it was hurting Newsom, despite polls showing Newsom’s approval rating surging since he began his redistricting fight and his hilarious, all-caps mockery of Trump’s Truth Social posts.

For good measure, Hannity also offered up his opinion of Newsom’s recent, more aggressive politicking. He criticized Newsom saying that his “performative confrontational style—maybe it wins you points with the loony radical base in your party but America is not going to vote for that record.” Does that description sound like anyone else you know?

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

Posted by on August 20, 2025 at 1:38 pm. 0 Comments :

What could be more hysterical than Donald Trump whining about the stupidity of anyone else? And yet, it is something that he does with increasing frequency and ferocity. Psychologists might diagnosis it as a latent inferiority complex with an obsessive compulsion to compensate for his deficiencies. But that’s only a partial explanation.

Donald Trump Climate Change

Trump also harbors deep sentiments of resentment and envy. Particularly with regard to anyone who dares to criticize him, or is otherwise insufficiently worshipful. Those sentiments emerge often with crazed outbursts aimed at Black women, who he routinely maligns as “low IQ,” including Jasmine Crockett, Kamala, Harris, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and more.

However, it is Trump’s IQ that is the most obviously deficient. Never mind his tedious repetition of having passed a cognitive test that doesn’t even measure IQ. He is a bottomless pit of ignorance and malaprops that would have institutionalized anyone without great wealth and/or power.

So it is laughable that Trump just declared that “The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!!” How would he know? His declaration was in reference to his determination to get rid of alternative energy sources in favor of what he ridiculously calls “clean, beautiful, coal,” and his passion to “drill baby drill” for unlimited barrels of oil. He prefers an energy plan that sickens those who work in the industry, and poisons the planet for everyone else. Trump raged on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that…

“Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS. THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!! MAGA”

Virtually every word of that harangue is a lie – and pretty darn stupid. To begin with, Trump might be surprised to learn that his hostility toward many of the states that have invested in clean energy are predominantly Republican. In fact, the state with the most generation of wind and solar energy is Texas.

“As the national leader in wind power generation, Texas produced 124,936 GWh of wind energy. Texas also ranks second in solar power, just behind California, at 44,506 GWh produced in 2024. By the end of 2024, the Lone Star State produced 166,660 GWh of renewable energy, or about 16% of our national clean energy supply. That’s enough green energy to power over 15 million U.S. households for a year! […] [T]heir competitive market is driving clean energy investments that benefit millions of Texas homes and businesses.”

The top ten clean energy producing states also include Iowa, Oklahoma, and Florida. Which raises the question of what the Republican governors of those states think of Trump’s anti-stupidity initiative.

What’s more, Trump’s assertion that states with significant wind and solar production “are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS,” is likewise false – and stupid. The truth, according to the U.S. Department of Energy is that…

“Energy innovations can significantly help reduce American’s energy bills. In fact, in many parts of the country, renewable energy innovations like solar and wind energy are the cheapest forms of new electricity generation.”

This nonsense is nothing new for Trump. He has been making these preposterous allegations for years. And as part of his derangement, he asserts that wind turbines kills birds, drives whales crazy, and cause cancer. And he wants to prohibit farmers from deciding how their land is used. If they want to earn extra income by utilizing available land for solar panels or wind turbines, tough luck. In another recent outburst, trump complained that…

“We’re putting up wind, wind. It doesn’t work. […] [W]ith all of the windmills that China sends us where we waste our money because it’s the most expensive energy – you know they make about 95% of them, wind turbines – I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that?

Once again, that is easily verified as entirely untrue. In fact…

“China’s wind farms produced over 100 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity in March, the highest monthly total ever by a single country and as much as all of Europe and North America combined, data from energy think tank Ember shows.”

The dishonesty – and stupidity – of Donald Trump is flying off the charts. His lies number in the tens of thousands. It would be far easier to count the number of times that he has told the truth on your hands and feet. And you probably wouldn’t even need to take off your shoes.
