Crybaby Trump Posts a Rambling Rant Begging People to Stop Talking About Jeffrey Epstein

Posted by on September 5, 2025 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

On Friday morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its monthly report on jobs for August 2025. The numbers were a painfully low 22,000, missing economist’s predictions of 75,000. However, they were consistent with the poor performance that Donald Trump has delivered for each of the past seven months since his reoccupation of the White House.

Donald Trump, Twitter

This report was prepared after Trump fired the head of the BLS last month because he didn’t like the terrible results reported then. It’s what Trump does whenever he’s not satisfied that government agencies are lavishing sufficient praise on him that he doesn’t deserve.

FOR INSTANCE: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

Trump generally responds to this sort of news with wildly incoherent harangues posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. On this occasion, however, he posted nothing about the report at all. What he did post was a tediously long screed about the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

So Trump was so worried about the potential harm from the abysmal jobs report that he poured more fuel on the Epstein fire that he has been trying desperately to extinguish for several weeks. What follows are a few select excerpts with annotations.

“[Democrats] did nothing about Jeffrey Epstein while he was alive except befriend him, socialize with him, travel to his Island, and take his money!”
Those are, of course, all things done by Republicans and politically unaffiliated wealthy men. Most notably, Donald Trump himself. Also, many Democrats were calling the release of the Epstein files since way back when he died in prison.

“[Democrats], out of nowhere, are seeming to show such love and heartfelt concern for his victims.”
Which even now, Trump and the GOP are incapable of. To the contrary, he has been disparaging the victims as liars and perpetrators of a hoax.

“Where were they during his very public trials?”
Trump is hallucinating again. Epstein never stood for trial. He agreed to a controversial plea bargain on state charges in 2008 (negotiated with Trump’s current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his former Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta). Then he died before his federal trial on sex trafficking on Trump’s watch in 2019.

“The now dying…Epstein case was only brought back to life by the Radical Left Democrats.”
The case was revived by Trump’s reelection and his appointment of Bondi and Kash Patel (FBI Director). Trump, Bondi, and Patel were all loud advocates for releasing all of the Epstein files during the 2024 campaign. But they all abandoned that position after taking office. That led to mostly Trump supporters, not Democrats, demanding that they keep their campaign promises.

“[T]he DOJ gave thousands of pages of documents in full compliance with a very comprehensive and exacting Subpoena from Congress! […] The Department of Justice has done its job, they have given everything requested of them.”
Trump and his Justice Department have twice released thousands of pages of documents that were already public. And even those amount to a tiny percentage (about 3%) of the total, which also includes videos. It is a far cry from “everything requested.”

“This is merely another Democrat HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the others, in order to deflect and distract from the great success of a Republican President.”
Tell that to the victims. Oh, wait. He did. And as for his “great success,” he’s proven that with the latest jobs report, along with his failure to lower the cost of living, end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, or fulfill any of his other promises, except for harassing immigrants and persecuting his political foes.

“It’s time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”
This can be done by Trump simply directing the DoJ to release all of the Epstein files, that he still refuses to do. What is he so afraid of? And his repetitious use of the “hoax” label for everything that he disputes has become cartoonishly comical.

So in his attempt to deflect from how badly he has botched his duty to create jobs for the American people, he has managed to steer attention to Epstein, the subject that he was previously working so hard to deflect from. Now both of these fiascos are uppermost on the minds of the American public. Nice Work, Donnie.

Trump’s Own Attorney General, Pam Bondi, Contradicts His Lie that ‘Crime is Down 100%’ in D.C.

Posted by on September 4, 2025 at 1:11 pm. 0 Comments :

Ever since Donald Trump launched his totalitarian military troop deployments to police American citizens in their homes, he has spread flagrant lies about the “success” he’s had in utterly eradicating crime. Never mind that the actual data fails to support his delusional reports, and that crime had already dropped to multiyear lows before he began.

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

Fox News, Pam Bondi

Accurate statistics are anathema to aspiring dictators like Trump who rely on manufacturing fear to keep their faithful cult followers in line. And Trump hasn’t been shy about disseminating lies that cities like Washington, D.C., and Chicago, and New York, and Baltimore, and Los Angeles, are, in Trump’s words “hellholes.”, Also, they all happen to have Black mayors. But it’s surely just a coincidence that he cherry-picked those cities, right?

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

On Thursday Trump expanded on his bullshittery saying that crime in Washington, D.C. had declined 100%. That means that it dropped to zero. At least he didn’t go farther and say it dropped 1,500% like he has with drug prices. But even this statement is preposterous. Along with false assertions that “restaurants were dying. [And] Nobody wanted to go out,” Trump said that…

“If you look at Washington D.C. three weeks ago, it was the same or worse, and now it is considered a totally safe zone. […] Washington D.C. is a totally safe city. You are not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%. Then I said ‘no it’s not. It’s down 100%.'”

Trump: “Washington, DC, is a totally safe city. You're not reporting any crime because there is none. They said crime is down 87%, and I said, No, it's not, it's down 100%.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-09-03T16:26:59.280Z

A city would have to have transformed into a fairytale utopia to have eliminated all crime. And no such city exists anywhere but in Trump’s twisted imagination. Well, also in the servile imaginations of Trump’s flunkies. For instance, his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, posted the following meme on Thursday…

Bondi posts a similar meme every day. And she also appears on Fox News almost daily with the same message. Which raises the obvious question: How can there be dozens of arrests every day in a city where Trumps insists there is zero crime? Are they arresting people who are innocent? Are they prosecuting thought crimes? Whatever the explanation, Bondi is contradicting her boss by bragging about all the criminals she has taken off of the streets that he says aren’t there.

For good measure, Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D. C., Jeanine Pirro, is boasting about the same criminal statistics as Bondi.

What’s more, Pirro, who hasn’t practiced law for twenty years, and who Trump recruited from Fox News (like his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, and a couple of dozen others in his administration), is racking up an abysmal record as U.S. Attorney. So far she failed to get a Grand Jury indictment in a case against a woman who allegedly threatened Trump. She also failed to get an indictment of a man who was arrested for throwing a sandwich at an ICE agent. Even though it was on video. So much for the old saying about how easy it is to get a Grand Jury indictment because they will indict a ham sandwich.

With Bondi and Pirro daily announcing the crimes they have allegedly stopped, will Trump apologize and admit that he hasn’t totally eliminated crime in D.C. Sure. Right after he apologizes for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll and many other women, And right after he admits that he lost the election in 2020. And right after he actually criticizes his BFF Vladimir Putin. In short, right after he develops a conscience and grows a spine. And here’s a health tip: Don’t hold your breath.

Kristi Noem Unleashes More of the Delusional Hyperbole That is the Hallmark of the Cult of Trump

Posted by on August 31, 2025 at 1:05 pm. 1 Comments :

The Primary Directive of every cult is that only Dear Leader will tell you the truth, and that every else is lying to you. It’s a doctrine that has been fully adopted by Donald Trump and his MAGA movement. In their world all judges are “lunatic radicals,” polls are manipulated. government bureaucrats are “deep state” operatives, opposition politicians are purposefully evil, and the media is, as Stalin said, “the enemy of the people.”

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

Trump Lies

With the Cult of Trump, dishonesty is just the beginning. There is apparently a dictum that also mandates that their lies must be as far removed from reality as possible. Trump and company likely picked this up from Hitler and his Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, who pioneered the doctrine of “The Big Lie.” Trump himself coopted the concept in the book that he lies about having written, “The Art of the Deal,” by paraphrasing it as “truthful hyperbole.” Minus the “truthful” part.

SEE THIS: OMG! Pathological Liar Trump Says He is ‘the Most Honest Human Being God Ever Created’

These principles were affirmed on Sunday morning’s episode of “Face the Nation” where Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, was interviewed. In a discussion about Trump’s authoritarian agenda of deploying military troops in American cities – but only the ones led by Democrats – in order to restore his version of fascist order, Noem made the following preposterous comment…

“I do know that L.A. wouldn’t be standing today if President Trump hadn’t taken action. That city would have burned down if left to the devices of the mayor and the governor of that state.”

Kristi Noem: "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-31T14:37:24.224Z

REALLY? The city of Los Angeles spans over 500 square miles. The demonstrations against Trump’s unwarranted and illegal deployments were centered in a few blocks of the downtown area. And the National Gaurd and Marine troops spent most of their time in their quarters or standing around some federal buildings that weren’t targeted by protesters. Reporting at the time noted that…

“LA County District Attorney Nate Hochman on Wednesday said that protests in the Los Angeles area involve less than 1% of the population and are largely peaceful. […] Hochman said that means 99.99% of residents have done nothing illegal in connection with the demonstrations.”

Noem also claimed that the DHS thugs were only going after “the worst of the worst.” That was also untrue according to the data from Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency:

“The majority of people currently detained by ICE have no criminal convictions. Of those who do, relatively few have been convicted of high-level crimes. […] The latest ICE statistics show that as of June 29, there were 57,861 people detained by ICE, 41,495 — 71.7% — of whom had no criminal convictions.”

The mammoth scale of the hyperbole coming from Noem is clearly commanded from the top. Trump’s own commentaries routinely include the same sort of monumental lies. For instance…

Trump on Taxes (aka Tariffs): “Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in, our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.”

Trump on Court Rulings: “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.”

Trump has an incredibly negative view of America as a pitifully weak nation that could curl up and die at any moment. Either that, or he’s just mad because destroying America is his thing and he doesn’t want someone else horning in.

Of course, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – Fox News – is backing him up all the way. While some people might regard Trump’s relentless dispensing of hyper-hyperbole as evidence of a cognitive decline, Fox News is ready with a defense. And when the question of his mental acuity raised, his name doesn’t even have to be mentioned for his defenders at Fox to step up and deny the dementia that others claim to see…

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 … "

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-22T14:32:35.587Z

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.

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

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.

Trump is OUTRAGED that ‘WOKE’ Museums Reveal ‘How Bad Slavery Was’

Posted by on August 19, 2025 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

Whatever day it is, it is another day that Donald Trump is seething with fury over some contrived offense that exists only in his warped imagination. It hardly matters what the subject is. Trump eagerly exploits it to fuel his latest tantrum, to smear a political foe, or to deflect from some other atrocity that he is desperate to evade, such as his unsavory relationships with pedophile partners Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Donald Trump Angry

Today the scandal du jour is Trump’s horror that there are museums in America that accurately reflect the history of the nation with all of its pride and pimples. In Trump’s cartoon brain there is only goodness and light in the nation’s past. Unless it was during the tenure of a “radical, lunatic, Democrat.” In that case it was abhorrent beyond belief and merits immediate investigation and incarceration. Would he put that in his “museum”?

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

In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump expressed his dismay over the state of museums that have the audacity to preserve the nation’s historical legacy. In a rabidly unhinged outburst, Trump raged that…

“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

That’s right! Who hasn’t been aghast at how “OUT OF CONTRO” the certifiably psycho Smithsonian is? And now that they have been caught disseminating propaganda that smears slavery as “bad” it can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Especially when all of the “Brightness” and “Success” that this country has produced is completely discarded and never celebrated by the Smithsonian or any other museum. Well, except for all of the many exhibits that celebrate America in every museum all over the country. But Trump was just getting warmed up. He continued…

“We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

Is this what MAGA voted for? Trump is dispatching his crackpot attorneys to swarm out around the country to do to museums what he has done to colleges and universities. By which he means smothering them in bogus lawsuits, withholding federal funds, and threatening further fascist suppression, if they fail to comply with his illegal and unconstitutional demands.

Trump wants to make sure that every college, museum, and media outlet, dispenses his grotesquely authoritarian perspective of the world. And no other views will be permitted. In fact, those with opposing views can expect to be arrested and sent to Trump’s gulags in some alligator swamp or third world country. And since slavery is no longer considered to be bad in the Era of Trump, critics may find themselves in chains, picking cotton or assembling iPhones.

And yes, this is what MAGA voted for. But not the rest of us. And we will not sit by while Trump and his cult destroy American democracy and freedom. Trump is already suffering some the worst public approval ratings in modern times. And his mental health is on shaky ground, to put it mildly. Along with his insane attacks on schools and museums and the free press, he is also suited up for a fierce battle…

The day after his meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders, and while Americans are struggling with inflated prices and tariffs, Trump is focused on what Americans need most: fighting windmills.#TrumpsBrainIsMush!
