Trump and His Propaganda Secretary Have No Idea What the State of the Union Address Is For

Posted by on February 24, 2026 at 1:15 pm. NO Comments :

On Tuesday night Donald Trump will be straying from his customary schedule of golfing, dining at the Mar-a-Lago buffet, and rage-watching Fox News, to deliver his State of the Union address (SOTU) before a joint session of Congress. It’s going to be a strain on him physically and mentally, but he’ll soldier through, if only to bask in the adoration of his MAGA GOP disciples.

Donald Trump, Wah

The State of the Union is a constitutionally mandated duty of any president. Although it doesn’t have to be delivered live or in a speech, it has become a traditional affair since first being broadcast on television live in primetime by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Now 60 years later, Trump is planning to diminish its significance further with the help of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

SEE THIS: Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest

The SOTU is supposed to be a dissertation on the current welfare of the nation. Presidents are expected to give an honest appraisal of the country’s condition on matters of importance both domestically and internationally. However, Trump will have difficulty with that objective considering that it requires being honest, something that he is congenitally incapable of.

The pre-speech comments by Trump reveal that he actually has no idea what the SOTU is intended for. He thinks that it’s just another platform for him to spew self-serving lies to exalt himself and malign his political foes. He deliberately lied to reporters on Monday saying that…

“We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. We have the most activity we’ve ever had. I’m making a speech tomorrow night, and you’ll be hearing me say that. It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.”

So Trump has no intention of telling the truth about the State of the Union. He is promising instead to ramble on interminably about how magnificent he is, and all of the wonderful, albeit imaginary, things that he’s done. Never mind that reality vehemently contradicts him. The country is still suffering from high inflation that is mainly due to his idiotic tariffs. His ICE agents are terrorizing American citizens along with law-abiding immigrants. We are threatening war against foreign nations without any rational cause. All of which has contributed to his historically abysmal approval ratings.

By pontificating on what he believes are his glorious accomplishments, Trump is actually just reminding everyone about what a pitiful failure he is. The people know how much their groceries cost, and how much they are paying for other necessities, including housing and healthcare. No amount of gaslighting by Trump will persuade any but his most brainwashed cult devotees that we are living in a Trumpian utopia.

Nevertheless, the Trump regime is dead set on trying to convince the American people that everything is just hunky dory. Which is why Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was out Tuesday morning previewing the lies that Trump plans to disseminate in his speech tonight.

“He’ll be sharing these stories again of everyday Americans who are directly benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy announcements as well as to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago, And the president will be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous for all Americans.”

Karoline Leavitt: "The president will be making a few new policy announcements to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago." (Joe Biden was no longer president one year ago.)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-24T13:10:58.592Z

Just like Trump, Leavitt is squarely focused on delivering a speech that celebrates Trump and his fantasies of fabulousness. She even slips in a slam on President Biden, who could not have created an affordability crisis a year ago because he was not president then. Also, didn’t Trump say that the whole “affordability” thing was a hoax?

The SOTU promises to be another lengthy harangue by Trump that wouldn’t pass for plausible fiction. However, it may offer some drama. While he has said that he’s inviting MAGA-tized guests like Erika Kirk (Charlie’s widow), Democrats will be attending with some Epstein/Trump survivors, and victims of his ICE thugs. So will have to face some of those who he hurt the most.

While Trump will be pitching a preposterously rosy scenario, it’s safe to assume that he won’t be mentioning at all some of the critical issues that the American people really care about. Such as the current government shutdown, his inflationary tariffs, his loss at the Supreme Court, his impending war with Iran, his obstructing the release of the Trump-Epstein files, or so many other matters that he’s anxious to suppress because they reflect negatively (i.e. realistically) on him.

If Trump thinks that this address is going to reverse his sinking popularity, he’s going to be sorely disappointed. And that disappointment will likely trigger even more raving madness from Trump. So fasten your seats belts. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride. And in the meantime, watch the “People’s State of the Union“ instead.

His MAGA-sty King Trump Demands Netflix Fire Board Member Susan Rice – Or ‘Pay the Consequences’?

Posted by on February 22, 2026 at 12:21 pm. 2 Comments :

One of the longest standing and principle planks of the Republican Party platform has been the concept of small government that doesn’t intrude on the liberties enshrined in the Constitution. Sure, it’s always been just a talking point that they often set aside when it wasn’t convenient, but at least they pretended to believe it.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

With the emergence of His MAGA-sty Donald Trump and his cult crusade, even the charade of interest in limited government was abandoned. No president has been more determined to interfere in the affairs of private persons and businesses than Trump. And his MAGA cultists in the GOP are so cowardly (or brainwashed? Power hungry? Stupid?) that they refuse to defy him and stand up for their alleged political values. Nowhere is that more evident than with Trump’s assaults on the media that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.”

FOR INSTANCE: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

On Saturday Trump was suffering another of his childish temper tantrums triggered by the ravings of one of his favorite fawning followers, Laura Loomer. So in a fit of fury Trump posted the following tirade to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social…

“Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She’s got no talent or skills – Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT”

First of all, Susan Rice is highly respected as a former presidential National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations. And Trump’s demand that Netflix fire Rice is the sort of unseemly intrusion into the business affairs of a company that would be expected in a totalitarian dictatorship. Which is clearly what Trump aspires to.

Furthermore, Trump’s reference to Rice, who is Black, as a racist is itself blatant racism. So are his knee-jerk personal insults of her as having “no talent or skills.” That’s typical of his opinions of Black people who dare to disagree with him. He is particularly dismissive of women of color, who he regularly maligns as “low IQ,” including Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and more.

For the record, Rice is a member of the Netflix Board of Directors, not an employee. Therefore, she was not “hired” by Netflix and cannot be fired. To become a member of the Board you must be nominated, and then elected by shareholders. Consequently, removal of a director is achieved by a subsequent vote of shareholders. In rare cases of documented misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, or criminal activity, the corporation may petition a court to intervene. However, none of that applies to Rice.

Trump was responding to a ludicrous tweet by deranged Trump cult devotee, Laura Loomer, wherein she claims that Rice said that “corporations who took a ‘knee to Trump’ will face an ‘accountability agenda’ from elected Democrats if they win the midterms in 2026.” But in reality, all that Rice said (video here) was that the elites in the weak and complicitous corporations, law firms, universities, tech companies, and media, who kissed Trump’s…let’s say ring, would learn that “Trump is not popular [and that] there is likely to be a swing in the other direction [and that] if they’ve done something wrong they will be held accountable.” As they should be.

Loomer expanded on that nonsense with a series of bizarre allegations that Rice was “threatening half of the country;” that Netflix is “an anti-American, WOKE company;” and that Michelle and Barack Obama were conspiring with Netflix to orchestrate “witch hunts against Trump” via their “significant stake” in the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger.

Of course, none of that contains a shred of truth. Rice didn’t threaten anyone. And the Obamas simply have a production company that makes films that are shown on Netflix. And Rice’s remarks were aimed specifically at elites, who certainly do not comprise “half of the country.”

Loomer concluded by demanding that “Trump must kill the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger now.” And Trump’s embrace of Loomer’s tweeted rant is evidence that he intends to improperly intervene in the merger process between Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix, on behalf of his friends David and Larry Ellison at Paramount. Which he previously said he would do, then said that he wouldn’t, and now is back to implying that he will.

Trump’s intrusion on the business affairs of Netflix, Warner Bros., and Paramount is not only contrary to traditional conservative values, it is illegal and immoral. Consequently, it is just the sort of nefarious misconduct that Trump would enthusiastically engage in. And his glassy-eyed cult disciples love him all the more for it. But the majority of Americans find it – and him – reprehensible. And as Rice said, Trump and his minions “will be held accountable” when Democrats regain majorities in Congress, and eventually the White House.

The Idiocy of Trump: Responding to the Supreme Court Nixing His Tariffs Trump – Raises Tariffs?

Posted by on February 20, 2026 at 1:17 pm. NO Comments :

There is an enduring lesson that Donald Trump is determined to pass on to the American people, and the world. That lesson is that it is never wise to underestimate just how pitifully stupid he is.

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

Donald Trump

Just when you think that Trump has done or said something that has to be as low as he could possibly go, he always manages to find a way to go even lower. Whether it’s about windmills causing cancer, or cutting drug prices by 1,200%, or making Canada the 51st state, Trump revels in his ignorance and the willingness of his glassy-eyed cult followers to accept it.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

The latest example of this Olympic-class asininity came Friday morning shortly after the Supreme Court struck down his inflationary tariffs as an unconstitutional tax on American businesses and consumers. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that Trump’s tariffs are not permitted under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that he improperly cited as justification.

This ruling is a rare rebuke from a Court that has been extraordinarily subservient to Trump. And in this matter they might have actually been doing him a favor. By undoing his ill-considered economic trade policies, the Court handed Trump an excuse to abandon the massively unpopular tariffs (64% disapproval) that have resulted in raising the costs of nearly everything that the American people buy. Ditching the tariffs could have brought those prices down, and Trump could have taken credit for it.

But no! Trump’s immediate response, provided in a hastily scheduled press conference, was to do exactly the opposite. He announced that he would instead “sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.”

Trump: "Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-20T18:53:59.720Z

Let’s let the insanity of that response sink in. First of all, Trump is waving off the opportunity to claim credit for lowering the cost of living, which is the number one concern of voters today. And he is doing it by declaring that he intends to skirt the law as laid down by the Court’s ruling. What’s more, he is even raising the tariffs, not because of any rational reason or action on the part of the tariffed countries, but just because he feels like it after not getting his way with the Supreme Court. Poor baby.

Trump went on to say that he would rely on “other alternatives [to] replace the ones the court incorrectly rejected.” He claims that those alternatives will allow him to “take in more money.” Which, of course, will just reinstate his tariff tax on the American people at an increased level.

Trump also insulted the Justices who voted to strike down his tariffs as “a disgrace to our nation.” That includes the conservative Republican Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Chief Justice John Roberts. And he made the absolutely bizarre contention that “Now the [Supreme] Court has given me the unquestioned right to…destroy foreign countries.” Which the Court never even implied, but which is something that he has already been doing (See Venezuela).

So in the wake of a perfectly rational decision by the Supreme Court, that Trump didn’t bother to dispute with any substantive arguments, he is going to make life more difficult for the American people and for our international allies, while simultaneously launching yet another round of court challenges to his unlawful, authoritarian aspirations. All of that should further endear him to voters come November. And they already despise him in near record numbers. Smart move, Donnie.

UPDATE: Trump followed up his rambling, ranting press conference with a bunch of comments on Truth Social…

Trump suffered a massive meltdown following his humiliating loss in the Supreme Court over his idiotic, inflationary, illegal tariffs.So he posted a series of tediously long and deranged tirades on Truth(less) (anti)Social…

CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Posted by on February 13, 2026 at 2:37 pm. NO Comments :

The debilitating psychosis of Donald Trump is going to be studied by historians and psychiatrists for decades to come. He has been remotely diagnosed by knowledgeable professionals as a malignant narcissist, whose acute sociopathy and egocentrism combine for a potent mental elixir of dysfunction that poses profound risks for the nation and the world.

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

Joe Biden, Donald Trump

Every motivation of Trump is driven by just a few triggering events: insatiable greed, lust for power, seething vengeance, and consuming fear. That makes for a highly combustible personality who would blithely sacrifice the welfare of a perceived foe, or an entire nation, in order to get what he believes, in his twisted mind, is rightfully due to him. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump to Americans Whose Lives Are at Risk By His Repealing Pollution Regs: ‘Don’t Worry About It’

Whenever Trump is exposed to some news that sparks his psychotic episodes, he is likely to go off like an out of control pyrotechnical display. He is a Roman Candle waiting to veer off course and set the whole neighborhood ablaze. That fuse can be lit by someone criticizing him for any of the fiascos he is responsible for on a daily basis, by a politician casting a contrary vote to his atrocious agenda, or by a disobedient truth making its way into the public’s awareness via the free press that he despises.

Among the many things that might trigger a Trump tantrum is any suggestion that he isn’t a gift to mankind from god. And he is particularly disturbed if he is ranked below any of his innumerable archenemies. Consequently, he is not going be take it well if he happens to see the results of a series of polls, all taken after Trump has been back in office for a full year, comparing him to his nemesis, former President Joe Biden…

  • Harris Poll: Trump is doing a worse job than Biden – 51-49%
  • Rasmussen Poll: Biden was a better president than Trump – 48-40%
  • The Economist/YouGov Poll: Trump is doing a worse job that Biden – 46-40%

Trump isn't gonna like this…America Prefers President Biden to Crybaby Trump!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-13T20:22:02.005Z

There is firm agreement in these diverse polls. The results of the Rasmussen poll are especially notable considering that it is a notoriously biased pollster in favor of Trump and the Republican Party.

Many other polls surveying Trump’s approval are similarly bad news for him. The RealClear Politics poll of polls has Trump down by double digits, with an average approval ranking of 42.2% and disapproval at 55.1%. Among the five most recent polls, his best showing is still a negative 47% (by another Rasmussen survey), and he goes as low as 36%.

The one conclusion that can be drawn from this is that, in technical terms, TRUMP IS TOAST! And if he sees these polls – which is doubtful because his toadies will be too scared to show him – he is likely to have an aneurism. Or worse, he’ll nuke Greenland. Hopefully his handlers/nurses will keep him under control.

Trump to Americans Whose Lives Are at Risk By His Repealing Pollution Regs: ‘Don’t Worry About It’

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

The determination of Donald Trump to foul the Earth with fossil fuel pollution on behalf of the oil and coal oligarchs who funnel donations (aka bribes) to him, has been a staple of his political agenda from his earliest days in politics. Even prior to that, Trump was opposed to environmental regulations that were imposed on his real estate properties.

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

Donald Trump Climate Change

Consequently, no one should be surprised by Trump’s latest efforts to give the toxic energy industry moguls their money’s worth. Never mind what it costs the inhabitants of the planet who will suffer more severe health consequences and natural disasters. Trump’s painfully stupid perspectives on the issue take precedence over science and compassion.

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

On Thursday Trump announced that he is ordering his administration to repeal the endangerment findings that have been a part of the nation’s environmental policies since 2009. As reported by PBS…

“The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations. The rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency rescinds a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.”

The scientific community has affirmed that greenhouse gases are a primary cause of climate pattern disruptions that can exacerbate storms and extreme weather leading to increased destruction, injury, and fatalities. Likewise, it causes many health problems that lead to much higher rates of illness and death. But Trump couldn’t care less about any of that. It isn’t likely to impact him in the few years that he has remaining. So when he was asked about the impact on the American people, he replied just as you might expect someone with zero concern for anyone but himself…

Question: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a cost to public health and the environment based on science?
Trump: I tell them don’t worry about it. Because it has nothing to do with public health. This was all a scam. A giant scam. This was a ripoff of the country by Obama and Biden…They’ll have more money to spend for healthcare.

Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-12T19:01:40.852Z

Oh. OK! Just don’t worry about it, you pansies. After all, it’s all a big scam. And naturally it’s the fault of Presidents Obama and Biden. Trump has previously claimed that it’s a scam by China. Anyway, you’ll have more money to spend on healthcare. Which, of course, is a lie. But humoring his alleged logic, he’s saying that when you or your family do contract serious illnesses, you’ll be able to pay at least part of your doctor bills. That should provide you with some comfort, doesn’t it?

Trump’s proposed repeal of the endangerment regulations will surely face some pushback by states in the courts. California Gove. Gavin Newsom has already made a strong statement in that regard…

“This decision betrays the American people and cements the Republican Party’s status as the pro-pollution party. If this reckless decision survives legal challenges, it will lead to more deadly wildfires, more extreme heat deaths, more climate-driven floods and droughts, and greater threats to communities nationwide — all while the EPA dismisses the overwhelming science that has protected public health for decades.”

“Donald Trump may put corporate greed ahead of communities and families, but California will not stand by — we will sue to challenge this illegal action, and we will continue fighting climate pollution here in our state. We will continue to lead because the lives and livelihoods of our people depend on it.”

Trump has a historically abysmal record of success in court on matters like these. And his arguments for this case are just as bad as those of the other cases he has lost in humiliating fashion. Let’s hope that his streak of failure continues. for the sake of of everyone that shares this planet.

The Clintons Agree to Give Testimony About Epstein – Dementia J. Trump Thinks He Already Did

Posted by on February 8, 2026 at 1:51 pm. 1 Comments :

When Donald Trump was running for reelection, a prominent part of his campaign was a promise of full transparency with regard to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal of pedophiles. Trump and his supporters – some of whom later became members of his administration – swore that they would release the Epstein files and bring the ring of pervs to justice.

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

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

Not only did Trump break that promise, he did everything in his power to avoid releasing the files. He lied flagrantly that there was nothing in them that would incriminate him. And he relentlessly sought to smear others without offering any shred of evidence.

SEE THIS: HUH? Trump Orders Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton and Other Democrats Re: Jeffrey Epstein

Among the most desperate ploys of Trump and his flunkies was their efforts to malign Hillary and Bill Clinton. It’s a common tactic on the right to project onto others the crimes that they know they are guilty of. But in Trump’s case, he is so inept that his attempts at character assassination fell flat, serving only to make him look even more scared, dishonest, and guilty.

This week the Clintons agreed to testify before Congress on the Epstein matter. They agreed even though the committee is chaired by the biggest Clinton hater on Capitol Hill, James Comer. Nevertheless, in a demonstration of confidence and courage, the Clintons accepted the invitation to testify. What’s more, they sought to make the hearings public, which Comer has so far refused to do. As reported by The Guardian…

“Former US president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary are calling for their congressional testimony on ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to be held publicly, to prevent Republicans from politicising the issue. […]

“Democrats say the probe is being weaponised to attack political opponents of president Donald Trump – himself a longtime Epstein associate who has not been called to testify – rather than to conduct legitimate oversight.”

By contrast, Trump continues to dodge any accountability for his longtime relationship with Epstein. Trump’s 38,000 mentions in the files that have been released to date (only about half of them) has not resulted in his relenting on his staunch opposition to the transparency that he once promised. Never mind that he keeps saying that he is totally innocent and the files would prove that. If that were true he would have released those files months ago.

Instead, Trump is making astonishingly bizarre comments when asked about Epstein and himself. For example, NBC News anchor Tom Llamas interviewed Trump prior to Super Bowl which produced the following exchange…

Llamas: NBC broke the story that the Democrats are already saying that if you bring President Bill Clinton, and he has to to testify [on Epstein], we’ll bring in president Trump. What do say to that?
Trump: I think they might say that, you know. But they’ve already brought me. See I’ve been brought. They had me indicted many many times. Many many times.

That reply is a unique combination of Trump’s dishonesty and mental impairment. He certainly was never “brought” before Congress. If he thinks that he was, he’s remembering something that came straight out of his warped imagination and has no resemblance to reality.

Furthermore, Trump’s reference to having been indicted is equally ridiculous. None of his indictments led to any testimony. And he has never been asked to respond to anything related to Epstein under oath. He didn’t testify at all in the “hush money” case where he was convicted of 34 felonies. And the other crimes for which he was indicted were never brought to trial after the Supreme Court granted him immunity for virtually any crime that he had committed, or would commit in the future.

So to summarize, Americans can make up their own minds about the Epstein investigations and Trump’s involvement. Here is what all three of these people have said about it in the past few days…

  • Bill Clinton: Let’s stop the games + do this the right way: in a public hearing.
  • Hillary Clinton: If you want this fight…let’s have it in public.
  • Donald Trump: I think it’s really time for the country to maybe get onto something else, now that nothing came out about me.

Who do you believe?

Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. NO Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

SEE THIS: Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?

Karoline Leavitt Admits that Trump Was Fooled by Putin’s Promise to Suspend Bombing of Ukraine

Posted by on February 3, 2026 at 12:50 pm. 1 Comments :

Before Donald Trump was even inaugurated for his second occupation of the White House, he disseminated deliberate deceptions about how he would resolve Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. During his campaign he promised that he would end the war with a single phone call to his pall Vladimir Putin on day one. That was 379 days ago.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Needless to say, the war is still raging on with Russia committing new war crimes virtually every day. Meanwhile, Trump and his Senior Apologists continue to deny that he has any responsibility for the ongoing massacres perpetrated by Putin, despite his absurd insistence that none of it would have happened were he in office when it started.

SEE THIS: Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

Trump’s absolution is being regurgitated again by his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She was asked about a recent claim by Trump that he spoke with Putin and asked him to suspend his bombing raids during the winter storms that have battered the region. Trump claimed that…

“I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week and he agreed to do that, and I have to tell you it was very nice.”

As usual, Trump’s account has a measure of believability that rests on how well known Putin is for being “very nice.” On Tuesday morning Leavitt was asked about this almost certainly imaginary conversation between Trump and Putin, and the fact that Putin continues his slaughter of innocent Ukrainians. She replied with an impressively straight face to the question…

Reporter: Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine because of the cold weather. But today we’ve seen Russia launching some of the heaviest attacks this month. What’s your reaction?
Leavitt: I spoke with the president about it this morning and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries who have been engaged in a very brutal war for several years. A war that would have never started if the president were still in office. It started because of the weakness and incompetence of the previous President, Joe Biden.

Q: Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine bc of the cold, but today we're seen Russia launching heavy attacks. What's your reaction?LEAVITT: I spoke with the president and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries that have been engaged in a very brutal war.

REALLY? Leavitt describes Trump as “unfortunately unsurprised.” In other words, Trump had accepted Putin’s promise to refrain from new attacks, and even complimented him for it. But afterward Leavitt says that he wasn’t surprised by Putin’s betrayal? Why would Trump brag about getting Putin’s agreement if he didn’t believe him in the first place?

Leavitt went on to parrot Trump’s frequent assertion that Putin would never have started the war if Trump were president at the time. But that is transparently preposterous. Trump’s claim that his presence alone would have prevented Russia from invading Ukraine implies that Putin would be either too afraid of Trump to take such aggressive action, or that Putin so admired Trump that his influence would be irresistible.

However, it’s clear now that neither of those scenarios have an iota of truth to them. If Putin won’t listen to Trump now when he’s asking him to halt bombing for the duration of the storm, it’s safe to assume that he wouldn’t have listened when he was first plotting to invade. What is unarguably obvious is that Trump has no leverage with Putin whatsoever.

Consequently, the efforts by Leavitt and Trump to blame Biden for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is misdirected. In reality it is the weakness and incompetence of Trump that allows this war to persist. Even after Trump issued direct threats to Putin giving him two weeks to agree to a cease fire – five months ago.

Trump Proudly Hypes a Poll that Shows His MAGA-tists are Mindless Members of a Totalitarian Cult

Posted by on January 31, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

Every model of dystopian dictatorships includes the determination of the aspiring oppressor to exalt himself as something akin to a messianic idol with the accompanying traits of infallibility and a divine endorsement. Donald Trump is no exception to this rule for ruling over a willing population of sheepish peasants

Donald Trump Messiah

Throughout his reign of error, Trump has sought to portray himself as Heaven’s ambassador to Earth. He believes – or at least seeks to delude others into believing – that he is universally beloved and more popular than Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, and Jesus, combined. Despite questioning his own likelihood of going to Heaven, Trump acts as if he’s destined for sainthood.

Trump’s latest attempt to glorify himself came in a comment posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social. He bragged about the results of a new poll that found his popularity soaring to stratospheric heights. However, Trump’s celebration demonstrated his faulty grasp of opinion surveys – and reality. Along with the poll data, Trump thrilled that the…

“Survey conducted Thursday by Harper Polling shows MAGA base opinion not shifting post-Pretti killing…Of 800 likely Trump GOP voters.”

Trump posted these results from a notoriously disreputable GOP pollster.They prove only that his MAGA-tists are fully indoctrinated members of a cult who embrace totalitarianism and brutality.

Trump posted these results from Harper Polling, a notoriously disreputable GOP pollster. The respondents to the survey were all Trump supporters. So the only thing that this poll proves is that Trump’s MAGA-tists are fully indoctrinated members of a cult who embrace totalitarianism and brutality. What other excuse could there be for embracing Trump and his fascist regime that has been murdering American citizens, deporting law abiding migrants, and viciously smearing and persecuting anyone who dares to protest his autocratic overreach?

For the record, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 8,512 U.S. adults (ten times more than the Harper poll), “Trump’s approval among Republicans is now 73%.” That’s quite a ways from the Harper finding of 92%. Overall, Trump’s approval is an abysmally low 37%. Only 42% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said “they were confident that Trump acts ethically in office.”

Trump has been dismissive of most of the polling that has been conducted recently. He bitterly maligns it all as “fake News.” In another Truth Social comment Trump suggested that polling results that were negative for him were “a criminal offense,” raging that…

“Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense. […] The Failing New York Times, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, Low Ratings CNN, or the now defunct MSDNC, Polls were all fraudulent, and bore nothing even close to the final results. Something has to be done about Fraudulent Polling. Even the Polls of FoxNews and The Wall Street Journal have been, over the years, terrible!”

Poor baby. It’s getting harder and harder to convince himself and his disciples that he is their blessed lord and savior. Trump maligns every legitimate poll as fake. He thinks that MS NOW (formally MSNBC) is defunct. And he can’t even trust his slobbering sycophants at Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Consequently, he needs to have them all arrested, just like he did with Don Lemon.

This is not how a free democratic republic is run. It violates the protections granted in the First Amendment of the Constitution. And it emulates the tyrannical tactics of Trump’s heroes and mentors, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. But he must not – and will not – be allowed to succeed in his efforts to make himself America’s Führer. He will end up in the dustbin of history, just like his predecessors.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

Posted by on January 27, 2026 at 3:07 pm. NO Comments :

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.
