Trump’s Intel Boss Can’t Cite Any Evidence Tying Obama to Her Phony ‘Russia Hoax’ on Fox News

Posted by on August 6, 2025 at 1:52 pm. NO Comments :

The past few weeks have seen Donald Trump and his Garrulous Gaslight Gang scampering frantically to shift America’s attention from his abhorrent and aberrant relationship with child sex traffickers, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, to anything else. They have thrown everything including the kitchen sink into this mission of mercenary misinformation and malice.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

The panic sweat is dripping from the brows of the Trump flunkies as they try to peddle their all too obvious distractions. They run the gamut from trivialities like the wholly concocted controversies about the jeans of Sydney Sweeney, to the inflation inducing Trump taxes (aka tariffs), to more disturbing and utterly bogus allegations of treason by President Obama and others.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

What the Trump regime operatives are calling the “Russia Hoax” has taken center stage, as they flock to Fox News every day to spread their blatant nonsense. And leading the charge is Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, and bona fide Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard. On Tuesday night Gabbard visited with Fox News Trump-fluffer, Laura Ingraham, who asked a surprisingly relevant question. But predictably, she didn’t get anything resembling a coherent answer…

Ingraham: You said there was irrefutable evidence that Obama was the mastermind of this intelligence manipulation and the perpetuation of the Russia Hoax. What is that irrefutable evidence for our viewers tonight?
Gabbard: Laura, you know, as you were playing those clips of these people like Morning Joe [Scarborough] seemingly befuddled, saying that by no account is any of this true. I would challenge them to see if they’ve actually read the documents, every single page of the documents that we’ve released over the last couple of weeks.

Whereupon, Gabbard invited the Fox News viewers to read a bunch of garbage that she posted online. As if they would – or can – read. But she didn’t bother to provide any of the allegedly “irrefutable evidence” that Ingraham asked for. All of the information that she has presented previously – online or on the air – has been entirely devoid of any factual basis.

Nevertheless, Gabbard went on to tell Ingraham that the online docs would reveal “how President Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called to talk about Russia.” She claimed that Obama tasked his Intel staff to alter the substance of their reporting on Russia’s well documented interference in the 2016 presidential election. Then she continued, brazenly lying that…

“Per the president’s direction, per the president’s order, and very specifically, they were tasked to create an intelligence assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how. And this was the beginning of this manufactured intelligence assessment where they knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.”

To reiterate, Gabbard has still not fulfilled Ingraham’s request for some actual evidence. But now she is asserting, without any proof, that Obama and his staff altered and released falsified data. Not only was the data not false, it was corroborated by the Senate Intelligence Committee five years ago when it was chaired by Republicans, including Trump’s current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

Even Gabbard’s own comments suggest that the Obama did nothing wrong. She notes that Obama asked that the reports include how “Moscow tried to influence the election – not if, but how.” She’s implying that there is something untoward about that. But it’s only because the “if” was not in doubt. Russia definitely tried to influence the election. Obama wanted to make sure that their methods (the “how”) were also included in the report. That’s real honesty and transparency.

For his part, Trump helped to keep all of this in the news with a new comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In what appears to be his transcript of what Gabbard said on Fox News, Trump wrote that…

“Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Obama directed that a National Security Council meeting be called… They were tasked to create an Intelligence Assessment that detailed how Moscow tried to influence the election—not ‘if’—but ‘how’… They knowingly wrote things in this assessment that were false.'”

If nothing else, we have additional confirmation that Trump spends an inordinate amount of his time watching his minions talk about him on Fox News. However, the truly troubling aspects of this go much deeper. Just in the past week we have seen the weaponizing of the law by Trump’s Justice Department and his MAGA contingent in Congress.

Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi has launched “a grand jury investigation of whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes when they assessed Russia’s actions during the 2016 election.” And GOP Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, has issued subpoenas for depositions from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

So Bondi and Comer are joining Gabbard in the quest for evidence-free persecution of Democrats and other critics of Dear Leader Trump. None of them actually present any of their imaginary evidence. But they bellow about it publicly in an attempt to get their cult followers and the media to pay attention to their fabrications. And of course, to draw attention away from Epstein and Maxwell and Trump.

The good news is that it isn’t working. The American people – including many Trump supporters – still want the truth to be revealed. They aren’t buying the misdirection tactics. And the pathetic and desperate determination of the Trumpists just makes them look all the more ridiculous.

WHUT? The RNC Brags About Trump ‘Making Automobiles Great Again’ By Tweeting a Russian-Made Car

Posted by on August 1, 2025 at 1:00 pm. NO Comments :

If anyone is worried about the Republican Party outsmarting Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections, you can put your minds at rest. The Party is demonstrating that it is just as confused, ignorant, and oblivious to reality as their Confounder-in-Chief, Donald Trump. They are faithfully emulating the behavior of their Dear Leader to achieve maximum humiliation.

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

For several weeks Trump and his White House cronies have been trying to hype a blatantly fabricated “scandal” having to do with an alleged “Deep State” conspiracy by Democrats to frame Trump for colluding with Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. They are accusing everyone from President Obama to Hillary Clinton to the entirety of the U.S. intelligence community, of collaborating in this ludicrous scheme, despite having no evidence whatsoever.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Of course, this escalation of baseless scandal mongering is just their latest effort to deflect from the continuing saga of child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his unsavory relationship with Trump. They are desperate to make this story go away, but it is more resilient than a horror movie axe murderer who can’t be killed. Because the American people want answers to the questions that Trump et al are too scared to provide.

However, the Republicans aren’t doing themselves any favors with their recent campaign to change the subject. On Friday morning the official Twitter/X account for the Republican National Committee posted a comment saying “The One Big Beautiful bill will drive the return of the great American car.” That message appeared above a picture of Trump standing in front of car with the caption: “Making Automobiles Great Again”.

There was just one little problem. The car in the picture was not made in America. It wasn’t made in Mexico, or Canada, or Europe, or Asia either. It was made decades ago in Russia. No, really…

HOLY CRAP!The official GOP Twitter/X account: "Making Automobiles Great Again. x.com/GOP/status/1…The Community Note: "The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car."

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-01T16:57:27.116Z

Note the correction appended in the Community Note below the tweet that says, “The car pictured behind President Trump is a stock image of a Russian/Soviet made VAZ 2101, better known as the Lada 1200. It is not an American made car.” Anyone with a functioning cerebellum would have known that just by looking at it. But apparently, that leaves out operatives at the RNC.

It is also notable that this epic blunder by the RNC was posted on the same day that Trump endorsed the current chairman of the RNC, Michael Whatley, for the open Senate seat in North Carolina. Trump’s endorsement was made on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, and said that this is…

“Great news for North Carolina! Michael Whatley, one of the most capable executives in our Country, who successfully ran, along with Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee, has launched his run for the United States Senate!”

Great news indeed. For Democrats. If Whatley is one of the RNC’s “most capable executives,” you do not want to run into one of their boneheaded slackers. Such as Lara Trump, who briefly considered running for the seat herself. Depending on the outcome of party primaries, Whatley would be running against Roy Cooper, the popular former two-term governor of North Carolina.

When you consider all of the possible mistakes that they could have made when putting this propaganda tweet together, it boggles the mind how they wound up with Trump doing his YMCA dance in front of a Russian car. The conspiracy crackpots on the right might suspect that there is mole in the RNC who is deliberately sabotaging Trump by further aligning him with Russia and his good pal and role model, Vladimir Putin.

However, these things happen too often for that excuse to be plausible. There would have to be an army of moles. It is much easier to explain by just accepting the fact that they are a confederacy of dunces, inadvertently sabotaging themselves.

Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

Posted by on July 30, 2025 at 2:35 pm. 4 Comments :

The perpetual state of rage that envelopes Donald Trump is documented in the stream of incoherence that he dispenses daily on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It is an uninterrupted temper tantrum that manifests in an outpouring of insults, lies, and shameless self-exaltation.

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

Donald Trump Angry

These days Trump is placing extra emphasis on his rants in order to deflect from news about his unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday morning he suffered a particularly acute episode of explosive diarhetoric as he pounded out 37 putrid posts in the early hours of his day, rather than engage in any of the work that one might expect of a president. That’s a typical schedule for Trump, who is generally more focused on what’s pissing him off, instead of what’s pertinent to the needs of the American people. He always puts himself and his massive yet fragile ego first.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

The onslaught of invective from Trump on this occasion began with a tired rehash of his hatred for Stephen Colbert. Trump complained that…

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT. […] Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon.”

Actually, it was Trump and his cronies who were giving him credit for the cancelation of Colbert’s show. And Trump is the last person who should be assessing the talent of others. For the record, Colbert’s show is number one in its time period. The cancelation, which isn’t effective until May of 2026, is due only to the cowardly compliance of the network’s corporate masters.

Next up was Trump’s visceral animosity toward a strong woman on Fox News who dared to criticize the blubbering snowflake Trump. He whined that…

“I can’t stand Jessica Tarlov of THE FIVE. A real loser!!! DJT”

That’s it. Trump didn’t bother to give any reason for this outburst. It might have had something to do with Tarlov having spoken out Tuesday on matters related to the inflationary Trump Tax (tariffs), or to Trump’s historically abysmal approval polling, or to her advocacy for assault rifle regulations in the wake of a mass shooting in Manhattan.

Trump simply can’t tolerate any criticism. But it’s monumentally worse if it comes from a woman. Trump has gone after Tarlov before, calling her a “failed TV personality” who Fox News should not allow on the air. Even on a program (“The five”) where she is outnumbered four-to-one. For the record, Tarlov has a doctorate in political science and government from the London School of Economics. So it’s no wonder that Trump is afraid of her.

The majority of Trump’s posts expressed his tyrannical demand that Republicans in the Senate rush to confirm his judicial nominees. He singled out Sen. Chuck Grassley for failing to overcome Democratic opposition via use of the “blue slip” that allows members of both parties to invoke a virtual veto of a nominee. But Trump resorted to his standard viciousness, saying “Democrats like Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, Schiff, and others, SLEAZEBAGS ALL.” He called the process “unconstitutional” and a “hoax” (of course), and lied that it would prevent him from ever getting a nominee confirmed…

“…in California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Virginia, and other places, where there is, coincidentally, the highest level of crime and corruption.”

For the record, the highest levels of crime and corruption are almost entirely in red states.

Among Trump’s postings were several that were just rabidly partisan memes. They contained messages that reflected the hatred that he has for fellow Americans. But worse, he was exhibiting his most fascistic aspirations by calling for the persecution of his political foes. For instance…

This morning Trump posted these comments calling for the arrest and incarceration (and worse) of Democrats.This is more evidence of his authoritarian aspirations and aversion to hatred for democracy. #TrumpIsAFascist

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-30T17:21:37.228Z

All of this is more evidence of the sociopathic sickness that courses through Trump’s veins. He is a bitter, hostile, vengeful, malignant narcissist, who should never be entrusted with power. And the sooner he is removed from office the better off the nation – and the world – will be.

The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

Posted by on July 27, 2025 at 2:12 pm. NO Comments :

There has never been a time in American politics when the prominence of crackpot conspiracy theories and their purveyors has been more closely associated with widely distributed media and high ranking government officials, including the current Crackpot-in-Chief, Donald Trump. The promotion of these former fringe dwellers to the mainstream of right-wing politics is having a noticeably deleterious effect on modern culture.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

Nowhere is that effect more evident than in and around Trump and his fellow fruitcakes. It is often said that every allegation that Trump makes against others is a confession of his own crimes and misconduct. And Trump’s relentless attacks on Democrats, the media, foreign leaders, and even his own MAGA and GOP comrades, is further proof of just how deranged he has become. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Doesn’t Want His Past ‘Weakling’ Supporters Who Bought Into the ‘BS’ Epstein Hoax

In a profoundly bizarre press conference with the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, Trump repeatedly wandered off into unrelated tangents. His mental acuity is so damaged that he is unable to focus on any subject in detail for more than a few seconds. During one of these schizoid detours, Snowflake Trump complained that it is Democrats who are obsessed with conspiracy theories. Trump raged that…

“Our country was dead. We had a dead country. Because of an incompetent president and incompetent Democrats. All they know how to do is talk and think about conspiracy theories and nonsense. If they’d waste their time talking about America being great again, it would be so much nicer, so much easier.”

First of all, what Trump is describing as a dead country was anything but that. The economy was booming. Job creation was at record levels. And our international allies respected us. President Biden had restored the health and prosperity of the nation following Trump’s failures and his deadly mismanagement of the COVID pandemic.

More to the point. Trump’s accusation that the only things that Democrats want to talk about are “conspiracy theories and nonsense” is not only untrue, it’s a description of Trump’s rhetorical fixations. Recently Trump has been spewing nonsense about his relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, while making multiple, contradictory excuses for why he refuses to release the files in the custody of his Justice Department.

Furthermore, in a flagrant attempt to deflect from the Epstein matter, Trump and his crew have fabricated a ludicrous conspiracy that they say was orchestrated by President Obama to charge Russia with election interference. Those charges, however, were well documented and even agreed to by Republicans, including Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

Trump is the unchallenged King of Conspiracy Theories. In the past he championed the lies that Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya. He advocated the death penalty for five Black men who were falsely accused of murder. And his present adventures in conspiratorial intrigue even devolve into preposterous matters such as his demented preoccupation with the menacing horror of windmills that he promises to protect us all from.

ON WINDMILLS…TRUMP: Windmills are killing us!DON QUIXOTE: More than thirty monstrous giants appear…and it is a great service to God to wipe such a wicked brood from the face of the earthTrump is INSANE!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-27T16:34:52.137Z

Trump’s petulant whining about windmills is a heaping pile of bullpucky. He complains about them ruining the scenery, producing energy that is too expensive, being built only in China, and rotting in the fields. All of which are gross misrepresentations of reality. In the past he has said that they cause cancer, kill birds, and make whales go insane. More recently he lied that there are no windmills in China.

It remains one of the great mysteries of modern times how anyone can believe anything that Trump says, or support him as a leader. And it says something acutely depressing about a certain small segment of the American electorate. But on a positive note, Trump’s fumbling on the Epstein affair might just be shaking some of his cult followers out of their trance. Keep hope alive.

Trump White House Whines About ‘Political Disinformation’ – While They Are Disseminating It

Posted by on July 23, 2025 at 1:14 pm. 1 Comments :

If anyone is curious about just how frightened Donald Trump is about the prospect of the Jeffrey Epstein files being released, all they need to do is observe how desperately he is pushing preposterous and wholly unsupported allegations against President Obama, who Trump et al are accusing of treason.

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

Trump Lies

Ever since the blatant hypocrisy of Trump’s Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, assuring Fox News that she is reviewing the Epstein client list that is “sitting on my desk right now,” then subsequently insisting that no such list exists, the snowballing backlash aimed at Trump, from his own most loyal cult followers, has threatened to bury him politically. Consequently, he has concocted a malicious, mendacious melodrama wherein he and his cohorts are accusing Obama of a capital crime against America.

SEE THIS: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

The allegations by the Trump regime have no basis in reality. Their own documents fail to prove their ludicrous claims. But conforming to reality has never been a prerequisite for Trumpist bullshittery. And it isn’t now. Which explains why Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, can shamelessly stand behind the podium in the White House Press Briefing Room and spout off bona fide garbage like this (video below)…

“This is truly one of the greatest political scandals in American history. And reporters at legacy outlets, some of which are sitting in this room today, like the New York Times and the Washington Post, were ridiculously awarded Pulitzer prizes for their perpetuation of this hoax. It is well past time for those awards to be stripped from the journalists that received them.”

What Leavitt is referring to are articles that accurately reported the well documented and unsavory associations between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russian operatives. Those articles were thoroughly researched and backed up by both documentary evidence and witness testimony. They deservedly won Pulitzer prizes for which Trump is now suing the Pulitzer board in a futile and infantile effort to get them revoked. But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to complain that…

“It is not journalism to propagate political disinformation in service of the Democrat Party and those in the intelligence community who hand over out of context and fake intelligence to push a false political narrative.

“I will now pass it over to the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to speak more about all of this.”

Leavitt is actually right that “It is not journalism to propagate political disinformation.” Even though that is exactly what she is doing. This is just another swing at the crackpot conspiracy theory that Obama had intelligence reports altered to say that Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election. Which in fact, they did try to do. That was affirmed by multiple analyses by the Intel community, as well as the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation that was led by then-senator Marco Rubio. The bipartisan Committee reported that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […and that…] Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

The plot of this phony scandal by Trump, Leavitt, and Gabbard, would make a really bad political movie due its implausibility and utter lack of factual substance. On the other hand, it could make a pretty good farcical satire about nutcases propagating insane delusions of government psyops. And they could use the real graphics contrived by Trump’s people, such as the one on the left below that was posted by both Trump and his White House accounts…

Trump's White House isn't babbling about crackpot conspiracy theories at all, are they?

SUNDAY FUNNIES: Toddler Trump Dumps a Bucket of Bullpucky in a Pitiful Ploy to Deflect From Epstein

Posted by on July 20, 2025 at 1:36 pm. 1 Comments :

Earlier this month Donald Trump was shaken by the escalation of news reporting about convicted pedophile and sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his personal relationship with the man that he called a “terrific guy.” But as the saga unfolded, Trump feigned some measure of confidence that it would be a two day story at worst.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Two weeks later the story still dominates the news cycle, and has even ballooned into a major scandal for Trump that is weakening his support among many of his previously devoted disciples. And most of the blame for the escalation lies with Trump himself, and his staff who keep fueling the fire with inadvertently incriminating defenses and blatantly obvious efforts to create diversions. Even his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has contributed to the controversy.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

On Sunday morning, Trump engaged in the typically Trumpian pursuit to cast alternative scrum into the media sea to distract the sharks from feeding on his political carcass. He posted a flurry of comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that only made it more clear how desperate and scared he is.

What follows are some annotated excerpts from his comments. The full postings are linked to “TrumpsTruth.org,” a website that reposts his Truth Social remarks, so you don’t have to click through to his website.

Let’s begin with…

…a comment wherein Trump praises himself and the six month anniversary of his second occupation of the White House. He gushes that he is “being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President.” Which is technically true. Most people would describe his assault on democracy and the Constitution as “consequential.” However, he went on to claim that “One year ago our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival.” You have to wonder what drugs he is taking that would produce that sort of delusional hysteria.

Next up…

…was Trump’s reporting on his poll numbers. He wrote that “My Poll Numbers within the Republican Party, and MAGA, have gone up, significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax […] and are all Republican Party records.” Okay. In some polls there has been a slight uptick in his support by his MAGA cult. Which only tells you something about how deeply indoctrinated they are. However, his support is by no means a record for either party. Although his overall approval rating is at a record low for him.

Mike Johnson fails to mention that Trump's approval rating of 90% is just among Republicans. And other presidents have been even higher among their own party:? George Bush: 99% after 9/11.? Barack Obama: 93% after Obamacare passed.? Joe Biden: 95% after his inauguration.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-18T16:38:02.356Z

Trump went on to say that “People like…all of the many other things I have done.” Which is a flagrant falsehood. He is underwater on nearly every issue, including those he is most closely associated with, such as immigration and the economy.

Next Trump sought…

…to reanimate an old story about the renaming of the Washington Commanders from its previous name, the Redskins. He whined that “The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this.” The only clamoring for this is from his fellow racists who enjoy using pejorative slurs. But Trump even claimed that “Indians” want this. Which shows just how in touch he is with Native Americans.

In a fit…

…aimed at a perennial foe, Trump raged that “Adam Schiff is a THIEF! He should be prosecuted, just like they tried to prosecute me, and everyone else — The only difference is, WE WERE TOTALLY INNOCENT, IT WAS ALL A GIANT HOAX!” Of course, reality tells us that Sen. Schiff has committed no crime. Trump can’t even cite one. But Trump was convicted by a jury that found him guilty of 34 felonies. He was also found liable for sexual abuse by separate jury in a civil case, which the judge later clarified was rape.

Finally…

…Trump has bought into the lies being promulgated by his Russia-affiliated Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. He wrote that, “In the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the Intelligence Community agreed that there was no Intelligence that reflected that Russia was trying to hack the election.” That preposterous statement contradicts everything known about the well documented plot by Russia to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. His own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, was the acting chair of the Senate committee that investigated the matter and affirmed Russia’s involvement. This, however, is a more complicated matter that is explained…

Rest assured that the above is only the tip of the iceberg. Trump will continue fanning the flames of his Epstein soap opera until either the media gets tired of it, or he is indicted and resigns. Rest assured also, that most of America is praying for the latter.

UPDATE: Trump has already added a couple more diversionary comments. One in which he threatens the Washington Commanders to change their name back or he would block a new stadium proposal. And one in which he complains that a Wall Street Journal article mentioned that his Treasure Secretary “explained” to him that firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell would tank the stock market. Trump boasted that “People don’t explain to me, I explain to them!” Because he is the messiah that knows all.

Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Posted by on July 19, 2025 at 1:48 pm. 3 Comments :

The Propaganda and Deflection Office of Donald Trump’s White House is working overtime trying to draw attention away from Trump’s salacious relationship with convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. To that end Trump has been furiously fomenting alternative “scandals” with which to occupy the minds of his cult followers and the compliant media.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Among the shiny objects that Trump is dangling before the gullible are his utterly meritless lawsuit against his buddy Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, his attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, his pretending that he forced Coke to change their ingredients, and his unbridled ecstasy from the firing of comedy legend Stephen Colbert.

SEE THIS: Big Baby Trump Celebrates CBS Firing Stephen Colbert and Hopes that Jimmy Kimmel Will Be Next

Much to Trump’s dismay, none of those valiant attempts at misdirection succeeded in diverting the public from the infinitely more compelling saga of Trump and Epstein. Especially since he keeps juicing the story with more obvious lies that only make him look more afraid and guilty.

Consequently, Trump is floating yet another diversion in order to take the heat off of his potentially criminal lechery. He has ordered his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to launch a set of dubious allegations aimed at former President Barack Obama regarding the factual history of Trump’s unsavory association with Russia. And Gabbard was the perfect choice to field queries about Trump’s Russia ties, considering her own long held sympathies for Russia and Kremlin propaganda.

Ever obedient, Gabbard called her comrades at Fox News to unload a steaming pile of political manure. Whereupon, Fox News reported that…

“The Obama administration ‘manufactured and politicized intelligence’ to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

“On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing ‘overwhelming evidence’ that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe.”

Naturally, the story on Fox News, based solely on Gabbard’s “evidence” is flagrantly fictional. They went on to quote Gabbard, or her agents, alleging that President Obama had his Intelligence aides alter their reports regarding how Russia tried to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. According to Fox, Gabbard noted the following from Obama’s Intel…

“‘We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,’ the Presidential Daily Brief stated.”

From that statement, Gabbard and Fox News attached an analysis concluding that Obama ordered the Intel Community to falsify their reports, asserting that Russia never actually interfered with the election at all. It was all, as Trump would say, a “HOAX!” But for some reason, Trump never bothered to reveal this hoax during his first four year occupation of the white House, or during his reelection campaign against President Biden that he lost.

Furthermore, what Gabbard is alleging is not what the documents she provided actually say. They only say that Russia was not successful in trying to alter the outcome of the election – they “did not impact recent US election results” – not that they didn’t try to do so. And on the basis of those misrepresentations, both Gabbard and Fox News lied that after “investigating the matter for months…”

“…their conclusions ‘clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016.’ And that ‘every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted.’

However, there was no such conspiracy shown, treasonous or otherwise, in Gabbard’s documents. Nevertheless, Gabbard is accusing Obama of a capital crime that would result in his execution if found guilty. And she is including several other Obama administration officials in that accusation, including DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. If they get their way, Trump’s Death Row in his political gulag is gonna be crowded.

Fox News amplified these abhorrent allegations with segments on multiple programs including Sean Hannity and Fox and Friends. The segment that aired on the Jesse Watters program is typical of the dishonesty that they are disseminating. Watters said that…

“We just got a peek inside Obama’s black book and it turns out Barack knew the Russia hoax was a hoax all along but pushed it anyway to sabotage the Trump presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifying pages and pages of documents showing Obama’s intel guys briefed him just weeks after the 2016 election that the Russians didn’t actually sway the election [and that Obama] instructed intel agencies to cook up new reports to support Russia collusion.”

Once again, the actual reports said plainly that Russia did try to interfere with the election, not that they succeeded in changing the outcome. And despite her hyperbolic ranting, that’s what Gabbard’s declassified documents said as well. The spin by Gabbard and Fox News – that factual assertions of Russian interference were a hoax, and that Obama had the reports altered – is downright bizarre and grossly defamatory.

That view was shared by by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee that investigated all of this five years ago. The acting chairman of that committee was Marco Rubio, who is now Trump’s Secretary of State. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election.” […]

“Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

These new allegations are another example of Trump weaponizing the Intelligence agencies over which he presides. Which he is also doing with his Justice, Homeland Security, Treasury, State, and other administration Departments. But it’s even worse than that. He is openly advocating for the execution of his political foes. His remarks on these matters was to say that “I think they’re crooked as hell. And, maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So, whatever happens, happens.”

If that doesn’t convince his supporters that he is a sociopathic fascist and aspiring authoritarian, in the mold of his heroes Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, nothing will. But for the rest of the American people, this new scandal/deflection makes it all the more imperative to remove Trump from office before he can do more damage.

UPDATE: Trump and his MAGA cronies are pulling out all the stops to promote this phony conspiracy. He posted a frantic blast of ten new comments about it on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, including one citing it as “treasonous.” They consist mostly of links to Fox News and Breitbart, and this poster created by Gabbard’s crew that is nothing but wild innuendos leading to inane conclusions…

Fox News Trump-Fluffer Says that Rising Inflation is ‘Another Victory for President Trump’

Posted by on July 15, 2025 at 1:15 pm. NO Comments :

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for the month of June. And consistent with the expectations of economic forecasters, it reveals that inflation in the U.S. has increased again under the profoundly incompetent stewardship of Donald Trump.

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

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo

Trump has only been in office for about six months. But in that short span of time he has succeeded in reversing the growth and stability that President Biden brought to the nation’s economy following the debacle that he inherited from Trump’s first occupation of the White House. Trump’s agenda rests heavily on recessionary initiatives such as his ill-considered tariffs, and his wildly unpopular “Big Ugly Bailout for Billionaires Act” (BUBBA). All of the harm from which he manages to blame on Democrats.

SEE THIS: Trump Goes Bonkers Ranting that Democrats Are ‘Evil, Nasty People Who Hate Our Country’

The CPI numbers for June showed that inflation is on the rise. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. The impact of the Trump tariffs (aka taxes) alone would insure a worsening inflation situation. and the tariffs haven’t even gone fully into effect yet. Nevertheless, as reported by CBS News, the damage is already being felt by the American people…

“The CPI was forecast to rise 2.7% last month, higher than last month’s rate of 2.4%, according to economists polled by financial data firm FactSet. June’s reading is the highest since February, when the CPI rose 2.8% on an annual basis.” […]

“Food prices rose 3% on an annual basis last month, higher than the overall inflation rate. Items that have seen big cost increases since last June include eggs, which are up 27.3%, roasted coffee, which is up over 12.7%, and ground beef, which is up 10.3%. Meanwhile, energy was a large source of inflation, with energy prices rising 0.9% on a month-over-month basis.”

While the cost of living is going up for American consumers, Trump is gaslighting them by insisting that just the opposite is true. They are not buying it – in more ways than one. Trump has been repeatedly lying that prices for everything from eggs to gas are at record lows. And he is getting support for those lies from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Fox’s Senior Trump-fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, had a ludicrous take on the CPI numbers just released, saying that…

“You’ve got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation — and that’s what we’re seeing from this report again.”

Maria Bartiromo on today's inflation report: "You've got to look at this report as another victory for President Trump, who has focused on reining in inflation — and that’s what we're seeing from this report again. "

— TrumpReposter (@trumpreposter.bsky.social) 2025-07-15T14:59:16.005Z

No, actually, you do not have to look at it that way. And as noted above, that’s not what we’re seeing in the report. It is, however, what Fox News and Trump want you to think that you see. And to that end, Trump posted a link to that Bartiromo comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social.

Among those who have pointed out the dishonesty of how Trump and Fox News distort the economic data from their own agencies, is – checks notes – Maria Bartiromo? Yep. In April she reported that Trump’s tariffs will fuel higher prices and recession, saying that…

“It is going to have an effect on Main Street. Some things will become higher priced. We will see some products actually be raised in price because companies will pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers. I would expect that.”

Is that also “another victory for President Trump”? Perhaps in his diseased mind it is. If nothing else, what Trump falsely believes is a “PERFECT” economy warrants the termination of Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Following the CPI release, Trump posted a comment aimed at Powell that said “Consumer Prices LOW. Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!!” He has previously posted some infantile insults of Powell in an effort to coerce him to resign. For instance, he said that…

“‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell is costing our Country Hundreds of Billions of Dollars. He is truly one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government.”

This would be a good time to remember that Powell was appointed to Chair the Fed Board by – checks notes again – Donald Trump! Now, like so many other Trump appointees, he regards his own people as “dumb” and “incompetent,” and even “treasonous.” And why wouldn’t they be? Those are all characteristics that apply perfectly to Trump.

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

Posted by on July 14, 2025 at 2:59 pm. NO Comments :

The Republican Party’s electoral prospects in 2026 are rapidly becoming more dire as Donald Trump and virtually every one of his policy priorities are sinking to ever lower depths of disapproval with ever growing majorities of the American people.

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

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

Trump’s job approval ratings are currently among the lowest of his modern predecessors. And with regard to the issues that he has deemed crucial, he is underwater on everything from immigration and deportations, to tariffs and trade, to foreign policy and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, to the economy, and more, including his most recent debacle, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill“ for billionaires and ballooning deficits.

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Given the abysmal fate that is hovering over the MAGA GOP, Trump and his Republican cohorts are plotting to rig the 2026 elections in order to retain power. Texas governor Greg Abbott recently announced that he will be calling for a special session of the Texas legislature to force a rare mid-census redistricting. The purpose of which is to redraw the district maps to favor Republicans and oust Democrats. As reported by MSNBC…

“Trump has reportedly been leaning on Abbott to rejigger the state’s 38 congressional districts to help protect the slim Republican majority in the House ahead of the 2026 midterms. The president, terrified of a repeat of the 2018 midterms that opened the door to two impeachments against him, has zeroed in on even more extreme gerrymandering to limit Democrats’ midterm gains.”

Trump has good reason to be afraid. If Democrats regain majorities in the House and Senate, they have a cornucopia of corrupt practices by Trump and his cronies to investigate and to hold accountable where appropriate under the law.

However, the desperation move by Trump and Abbott may backfire on them. Firstly, because moving some Republicans into Democratic districts may not be enough to flip them from blue to red. Although it could make the previously safe red districts more vulnerable to flipping to blue.

What’s more, the GOP election manipulation plot in red states might result in reciprocal action in blue states. In fact, Gov. Gavin Newsom is already teasing that possibility for California. In a conversation with The Tennessee Holler, Newsom said (at 7:53)…

“I saw what Gov. Abbott did today, announcing a special session that will include redistricting. These guys aren’t f**king around. They’re playing by a totally different set of rules. And here I am in California trying to raise the bar of bipartisanship. Years and years ago we did independent redistricting in a state that I assure you – with two-thirds majorities in the legislature – could gerrymander like no other state. And we’ve been playing fair. When I saw what he did today, it made me question that entire program.”

Newsom concluded by warning that Republicans, who “have no shame and no limits,” are crossing a red line with threats to democracy. Which is a line that was actually crossed long ago. Trump frequently refers to Democrats – who represent at least half the country – as “evil” and “the enemy.” And more specifically, the Trump regime has attack Gov. Newsom in the most vile and anti-American way. For example, Trump’s White House Director of Communications, Steven Cheung, took a precarious leap into comparing Trump’s moral character with Newsom’s. Not a very smart move…

It’s always easy to tell who Trump is most afraid of. It is those who are the least afraid of him, and who will call him on his bullsh*t without hesitation. Newsom is emerging as one of the most courageous and effective Trump critics. Consequently, he will also be one of Trump’s most frequent targets. The problem for Trump is that Newsom is far more intelligent and is backed up by the truth. Trump would be wise to STFU for change. And since that would be wise, don’t expect it to happen.

In a Fox News Propaganda Coup, Lara Trump Interviews Papa Trump and Never Mentions Epstein

Posted by on July 13, 2025 at 11:39 am. NO Comments :

The totalitarian dictatorships of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un must be terribly envious of the smarmy fawning that Donald Trump enjoys from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Even Russia and North Korea would be too ashamed to manufacture the gamey media communion that Trump enjoys with his Fox friends.

Donald Trump Fox News

The intertwining of Trump’s administration with Fox News is impossible to ignore. He has recruited at least 21 Fox hosts or contributors to serve in his White House staff and Cabinet, including his secretaries of defense (Pete Hegseth) and transportation (Sean Duffy). And because the revolving door swings both ways, numerous Trump associates have taken positions at Fox News, including his former press secretary (Kayleigh McEnany), his former White House Counselor (Kellyanne Conway), and several MAGA Congress members.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

On Saturday Fox News host and First Daughter-in-Law, Lara Trump, interviewed her own father-in-lawlessness, Donald Trump. Remember, this is on a network that has the audacity to include the word “news” in its name. But anyone who expected any actual news to emanate from this interview is terminally naïve.

Among the journalistic atrocities that occurred in this episode was one wherein Lara asked what may be the easiest political question ever contrived. And true to form, Trump flubbed the answer…

LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?
TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.

When asked the softball question of the century by his daughter-in-law on Fox News, this mofo BLAMES THE VICTIMS!?!LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-13T09:14:02.424Z

That’s right! When asked to simply give his message to the grieving families who suffered through the Texas floods, Trump blamed the victims for not heeding the warnings. The warnings that, by the way, were never properly delivered due to Trump’s decimating of the National Weather Service.

The rest of the interview was just as bad. For instance, Lara asked Trump another probing inquiry about his legacy. Trump replied predictably by both glorifying himself and insulting his political foes, saying that he wants to be remembered as…

“A good person, but a person that saved our country. I really believed our country was going down for the fall. I don’t know if it ever could’ve come back. It was very close to the edge”

LARA TRUMP: How would you like to be remembered?TRUMP: A good person, but a person that saved our country.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-13T01:53:56.240Z

Trump continued by citing praise from “A lot of people [who] thought my first term was phenomenal. I did.” Then Trump praised himself with a preposterous distortion of reality concerning his Cabinet that is currently at each others throats, saying that “We have really good people this time, and they get along with each other. They love each other.”

REALLY? LOVE? The battle ensuing between Trump Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his FBI heads, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, is burning up the current news cycle as they clash on why the infamous Jeffrey Epstein client lists haven’t been release as promised. So it’s interesting that it never came up in Lara’s interview of the one person who could release those files now.

Nevertheless, that internecine war is playing out on Trump’s failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in a comment by Trump that is profoundly deranged. What follows are a few annotated excerpts…

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration”
Trump is whining about his own supporters who are outraged by his cover up of the Epstein files. And he has a strange definition of “PERFECT” that seems to include incompetent, unqualified, infighting, and perversely adoring of Dear Leader.

“Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration?”
So the Epstein files don’t exist. Except that they do exist, but Trump still won’t release them, even though they were written by Obama and his other political foes.

“Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?”
Why doesn’t Trump release the Epstein files? If there is NOTHING in there that could hurt him and the MAGA movement, why doesn’t he come clean and keep his promise?

“Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020. […] The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what [Pam Bondi] is looking into as AG.”
So Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are laser focused on political retribution, rather than fighting real crime and keeping the country safe.

“[Let’s] not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
Trump has a funny way of showing that nobody cares about Jeffrey Epstein by disgorging a rambling and tediously long treatise that proves just how much he cares about and/or fears what his files might contain.

Fox News must be so proud of Lara for snagging this exclusive interview. Just imagine how MAGA would have responded if MSNBC had hired Hunter Biden and he scored an interview with his father, the President. And never mind that Lara is currently mulling a race for the North Carolina Senate. Which means that she in violation of the Fox News policy that prohibits people who are running, or considering running, for office from being employed on the network. It’s not like Fox needs to respect journalistic ethics. They never have before.
