Trump’s INSANE Threats and War Crimes Against Iran are Dismissed by His Acting Attorney General

Posted by on April 7, 2026 at 12:27 pm. 0 Comments :

The “Little Excursion” that Donald Trump took to Iran is turning out to be much more of catastrophic detour than he – or anyone else – could have imagined. Despite his insistence that the war would be short, and that he won it weeks ago, it has escalated into a conflagration that threatens millions of innocent people.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

There are numerous cognitive contradictions in Trump’s diarhetorical outbursts regarding this mission. In addition to Trump’s claim of victory, while continuing to fight, he has said that he is fighting for the Iranian people’s freedom, while slaughtering thousands of them; he has said that the United States doesn’t need any help from Europe, while blasting them for not helping; he has said that the Strait of Hormuz would be easily opened, while unleashing ever more hyperbolic threats if Iran doesn’t open it immediately. He really seems to have no idea what’s going on or what to do.

SEE THIS: Trump Admits Gross Failures Arming Protesters in Iran and to Slaughtering Defenseless Iranians

As a result of his confusion and ignorance, Trump is lashing out wildly. On Tuesday morning he posted a horrific comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that upped the ante of his unhinged antagonism, warning that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Trump's threat to Iran saying that "A whole civilization will die tonight," is more of the grotesquely INSANE babbling of a psychopathic monster bent on genocide.He must not be allowed to carry out that threat. He shouldn't even be able make it without severe legal consequences

That sort of bombastic derangement is obviously intolerable. It adds to his prior advocacy of war crimes wherein he called for civilian infrastructure in Iran (power plants, bridges, etc.) to be destroyed. It ought to trigger immediate actions to remove Trump from office by either impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Those actions would require Trump’s Cabinet and/or the Congress to stand up. And while Democratic members of Congress are doing so, those remain difficult solutions at present.

Unfortunately, Trump’s “Justice” Department isn’t going to be any help in the pursuit of justice. Trump has managed to transform the DoJ into an arm of his personal defense law firm. And although he recently fired his bootlicking Attorney General, Pam Bondi, the “acting” Attorney General, Todd Blanche, may be even worse. During a Tuesday morning press conference, he was asked about the war crimes that Trump has been accused of…

Reporter: A number of military and legal scholars have raised questions about bombing a nation’s bridges and energy infrastructure as a possible war crime. What is DOJ’s analysis of that position, and could you give us a sense what you are advising for the White House?
Blanche: The Department of Justice, as it always does, supports the Department of War [which doesn’t exist], the White House, the Department of State, and our intelligence communities…we provide counsel to them and we have been doing that.

Well, that clears that up, doesn’t it? Blanche was asked what his advice would be for Trump, and he responding by saying that he gives Trump advice. Gee thanks.

The matter of war crimes is hardly a question at this point. There are no credible legal analysts who would dispute that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would be grossly illegal, as well as immoral. And the negligence of Blanche and others in the administration make them just as culpable for the crimes as Trump.

It is precisely for situations like these that several members of Congress produced a video a few months ago to remind military personnel that they are obligated by law to refuse to follow unlawful orders. And now that Trump is floating such orders, it is imperative that he not be allowed to proceed. This is so plainly evident that even former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sounding the alarm…

Trump Crowns JD Vance as His ‘Fraud Czar’ So He Doesn’t Have to Commit All the Fraud By Himself

Posted by on April 3, 2026 at 2:25 pm. 0 Comments :

The workload of the American president is an arduous burden that would tax the stamina of anyone. So it must be particularly grueling for someone like Donald Trump, a 79 year old who is morbidly obese, doesn’t believe in exercise, and consumes mostly fast food and diet soda. The only physical activity Trump gets is walking to and from the buffet at Mar-a-Lago, and “dancing” to the Village People’s “YMCA.”

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

Trump’s physical and mental well being have long been a subject of concern. And it is never more worrisome than when he is caught on video sleeping through his own criminal trials and repeatedly falling asleep during his Cabinet meetings that consist almost entirely of his doting toadies lavishing him with adoration and near messianic praise? That must be exhausting.

SEE THIS: SLEEPY DON: Trump Finally Admits that He Was Sleeping in His Cabinet Worship Services

Consequently, it is not surprising that Trump is now delegating one of his most important tasks to his vice president, JD Vance. In a comment posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, Trump decreed that…

“Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’ in the United States. It is massive and pervasive, and the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration, will be a major factor in how great the future of our Country will be.”

So Vance will now be taking over for Trump and will be “in charge of ‘FRAUD.'” Following in the footsteps of Trump, Vance surely has some big (clown) shoes to fill. After all, who knows fraud better than Trump? He has 34 felony fraud convictions to his name. And those are only the ones that he didn’t manage to avoid by being reelected and having his Supreme Court flunkies grant him conditional immunity. But Trump was just getting started. He continued…

“We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money.”

Who could have predicted that Trump would focus his fraud probes on blue states? Never mind that there is zero evidence to support his claim that there is more fraud among Democrats than Republicans. To the contrary, the CATO Institute found that it is Republican led states that dominate the top rankings of their public corruption study. Trump then closed with this preposterous claim…

“The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget. Raids have already started in L.A. Good Luck JD!”

Trump has promised to balance the budget many times. He said that tariffs would do it. Or oil stolen from Venezuela. Or Elon Musk’s “DOGE” cuts to the federal bureaucracy. None of those even decreased the deficit, much less eliminated it. The current budget deficit is about $2 trillion. Which is almost exactly the increase in Trump’s most recent budget proposal. That proposal includes $1.5 trillion for Trump’s Department of “War.” So Trump thinks that his “Fraud Czar” will find more fraud than the entire Defense Department funding request.

Since Trump brought up the state of California for special attention, let’s see what Gov. Gavin Newsom had to say about Trump’s baseless charges.

Unlike Trump, Newsom delivered some actual facts to support his arguments. He linked to a “Stop Fraud“ website that went into detail, revealing that…

“California is leading the nation in preventing fraud, waste, and abuse — protecting billions of dollars meant for families, students, seniors, and communities [And that] Trump is the King of Fraud — pardoning criminals and promoting self-dealing corruption.”

With Vance taking over the Fraud Czar duties, poor, old, Dozy Don will be able get some more much needed rest. Because he is not the superman that the Trump cult believes him to be. Although they will keep trying to pitch him as that. For example, here is what his now fired Attorney General, Pam Bondi, said about him…

GOP Oversight Chairman Lies that 85% of Trump-Epstein Pervs are Democrats’ – Reality Disagrees

Posted by on February 25, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

This week the news cycle was interrupted by the annual State of the Union address that is delivered by the president. And true to form, the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump, unloaded a record long harangue that surely didn’t disappoint his glassy-eyed cult followers who hungered for more red meat hostility aimed at Democrats, women, foreigners, and the rest of the anti-Trump realists that they have been brainwashed to hate. It was nearly two hours of innumerable lies, insults, and shameless self-exaltations for imaginary accomplishments.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Trump’s SOTU speech is unlikely to move the needle on his historically abysmal disapproval ratings. So the attention of the American people is going to quickly return to the issues that they care most about, which Trump largely ignored in his speech. They include the economy and the high cost of living, immigration and Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing them and their neighbors, and the horrific crimes committed by Trump and his confederates in association with Jeffrey Epstein.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

To the dismay of Trump and his toadies, the Epstein scandal is not going to go away. Particularly if they keep trying to cover it up and/or sweep it under the rug. But that won’t stop them from trying. Leading the charge from Congress is the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. On Wednesday morning he took up his usual post on Fox News to disseminate his partisan propaganda. And typically, he lied to Fox host Harris Faulkner about the key participants in the Epstein affair, and whether he intended to interview any Republicans.

“The truth of the matter is that about 85% of the people that were prominent who were involved with Epstein are, you know, Democrats. So we’re gonna continue to question whoever they are regardless of political party or political identification, but the fact of the matter is the majority of the people were Democrats.”

That is about as brazen a lie as he could possibly have manufactured. While there certainly are some Democrats who associated with Epstein, the vast majority of his creepy comrades, as exposed in the Trump-Epstein files and elsewhere, were Republicans or their GOP supporters. Here’s a list of the best known people associated with Epstein…

  • REPUBLICANS:
  • Donald J. Trump
  • Melania Trump
  • Elon Musk
  • Alan Dershowitz
  • Howard Lutnick
  • Kevin Warsh
  • Steve Bannon
  • Tom Barrack
  • Peter Thiel
  • DEMOCRATS:
  • Bill Clinton

Despite this evidence that many more Republicans have fraternized with Epstein, Comer and his committee haven’t called a single one of them testify. He has, however, called Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have both agreed to be interviewed. What’s more, the Clintons have been forthright in their demands that all of the Trump-Epstein files be released. While Trump and Comer and the rest of the Republican pedophile protectors continue to obstruct the release.

If Comer were telling the truth, that 85% of those involved with Epstein were Democrats (he isn’t), then wouldn’t he and Trump and the Republicans have more incentive to release all of the files unredacted? Why are Democrats so fervently advocating for full transparency, while Republicans are opposed to it? What are they afraid of?

Perhaps it has something to do with all of the evidence that Trump’s relationship with Epstein included his participation in criminal activities. A new report reveals that Trump’s “Justice” Department is actively suppressing such evidence. According to NPR…

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.”

Democrats have been adamant that the Trump-Epstein files must be released. They are willing to let the chips fall where they may. But Republicans are determined to prevent that from happening. Partisans like Comer are abusing their power to shield Trump from accountability. And he isn’t shy about admitting it. He told Fox News that “Look, I support the president. I’m gonna do whatever the president wants.” Which doesn’t seem like something someone in charge of “Oversight” should be saying or doing.

James Comer is the MAGA GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee. Which he seems to think is the Committee for treating all of Trump's crimes as an oversight.The good news is that he's such an idiot that his partisan hearings invariably make himself and Trump look worse.

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

Posted by on January 24, 2026 at 1:26 pm. 2 Comments :

“Tin soldiers and Trump is coming…” The only question now is how many more will die because of the callous savagery of Donald Trump and his fascist regime? The death that occurred Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street was entirely predictable and preventable, and was the direct result of a hostile, barbarous cabal of fascist mercenaries.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

This marks the second fatality of an American citizen at the hands of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And it was no accident. The victim had committed no crime when he was mobbed by ICE agents, brutally pummeled, then shot to death, despite not presenting any kind of a credible threat. His murder was pre-sanctioned by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its de facto chief in the White House, Trump’s Senior Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

SEE THIS: Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

DHS says that the officers attempted to disarm a suspect, but that the suspect violently resisted. Video of the incident shows that the victim was pinned to the ground by four agents when one of them started shooting. So four agents armed with batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other policing paraphernalia, were unable to subdue a single man. There were at least five shots fired while the victim was laying on the ground motionless on his stomach.

This is the same DHS that said that Renee Good, a law abiding citizen and mother, was a domestic terrorist who ran over an ICE agent with her car, which the video shows never happened. Consequently, DHS cannot be believed about this. An independent investigation must be performed. Which could be difficult considering reports that ICE tried to keep local police away from the scene. That could be viewed as an attempt to cover up the facts, and perhaps to have an opportunity to plant false evidence.

Nevertheless, Fox News, before any review of the incident had even begun, drew conclusions siding with the ICE agents saying that “They are simply doing their jobs,” and laying part of the blame for this new atrocity on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The following exchange took place on Fox News shortly after the story broke…

Fox Reporter: If anything is dangerous and unlawful it’s what Tim Walz is doing. And there ought to be consequences. […]
Nicole Parker: They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs. And again, without the details of who this subject is, whether they were someone they were arresting, whether they were a bystander, a protester, frankly when you’re looking at the deadly force policies that’s completely irrelevant. For them they are literally looking at what we’ve gone over and over before. My piece of advice to anyone in Minneapolis, and frankly anywhere in the country, let the law enforcement do their job. If you don’t want to run into any problems stay out of the vicinity of law enforcement.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-24T17:04:01.826Z

So the first comments by Fox News were to place the blame on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Then their former FBI analyst claims that ICE was just doing their job, even while admitting that she is speaking “without the details.” Maybe she should just shut up until she has them. Then she concludes by advising American citizens to abandon their constitutional rights to dissent, and “let the law enforcement do their job.” Even if they are committing heinous crimes?

Naturally, Trump weighed in on this matter with his customary maliciousness and ignorance. He posted a comment that was exceedingly long and riddled with lies on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off?”

First of all, even if it’s true that the victim had a gun, that is legal and is not evidence of any criminal intent. You would think that a 2nd Amendment fanatic like Trump would respect that. There is no evidence that the victim drew any weapon.

Trump quickly segued to questioning the actions of the local police and political officials. And typically, he did so without any proof of the bad behavior that he was blindly and irresponsibly asserting. But he was just getting started. Some other items in his tedious post included…

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?”
Setting aside the fact that that is absolutely untrue. what does it have to do with any of this? Other than to malign a Black woman in Congress who criticizes Trump.

“We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud.”
Now Trump is claiming that the reason he sent troops to Minneapolis was due to monetary fraud. So why did he send immigration cops rather than treasury? And why is this the first time he has ever mentioned it? And where are the arrests of perpetrators of fraud by his ICE thugs?

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection.”
Trump learned a new word: “Insurrection.” So now he using it to describe anyone that criticizes him on any subject. Just like he does with “hoax.” But he can’t provide any proof that Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey incited anything. They have consistently called for calm and peaceful protest.

Trump’s bizarre meandering from one subject to other unrelated subjects is further evidence of his cognitive impairment. He is flailing in the hopes of landing on a topic that his cult followers might lap up. But he is conspicuously failing to exhibit any kind of human emotion as a result of a man dying at the hands of his thugs.

None of this was necessary. None of it would have happened if Trump had not deployed military style troops to terrorize citizens in an otherwise peaceful American city. The victim had broken no laws when he was accosted. Nobody had to die today.

It’s painfully clear that ICE is the instigating factor. And they need to leave Minneapolis immediately, and every other American city, where they are provoking this violence on behalf of aspiring authoritarian Trump. It’s plain as day that he just wants to exploit the chaos that he is creating as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and/or declare martial law, and realize his dystopian dream of dictatorship. But the American people are not going to let him do it.

Trump Weighs In On the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis With a Flurry of Blatant Lies

Posted by on January 7, 2026 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

On Wednesday morning a horrific, yet predictable, tragedy took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Donald Trump had just deployed his latest brigade of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to harass and intimidate peaceful protesters. The result was a shooting that left an innocent woman dead.

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

Donald Trump AR-15

Trump’s goon squads are notoriously untrained and ill-prepared for the duties they are being asked to perform. Consequently, when a situation arises that calls for calm and expertise, it rapidly escalates into a catastrophe where citizens are the sad victims of the violence perpetrated by alleged law enforcement personnel. And it’s particularly disturbing that a new example of this has occurred the day after the five year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection where Trump’s supporters stormed the United States Capitol, causing great harm and sending 140 police officers to the hospital

SEE THIS: Fox News Flunkies that Once Condemned Trump’s January 6th Rioters Have Totally Abandoned Reality

The incident in Minneapolis involved a woman driver who was approached by an ICE officer and ordered to get out of her car. Fearing for her safety, she tried to drive away. Whereupon the officer shot her point blank through her window, killing her.

For what? She had not committed any crime. She was not threatening the officers. There was literally no valid reason for the use of deadly force. But that didn’t stop Trump’s Homeland Security flunky, Kristi Noem, from getting in front of the nearest flank of media cameras to spread some deliberate disinformation, and labeling the deceased woman a “domestic terrorist.”

It didn’t take long for Trump to offer his opinion of what happened, And to no one’s surprise, he spewed an elaborate litany of lies in the comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth social. He said that…

“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense.”

Every word of that is, to use the technical term, “BULLSH*T.” To break down Trump’s lies…

  • While there were citizen witnesses nearby who were screaming that ICE officers. the woman who was shot cannot be heard screaming at all.
  • There is no evidence that she was a “professional agitator.” In fact, there are reports that she was a legal observer.
  • She was not driving in a “disorderly” manner.
  • She was neither obstructing nor resisting, which isn’t relevant because she was not under arrest.
  • She clearly did not “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer.” He was standing unharmed at the side of the vehicle after the shooting.
  • There can be no claim of self defense since she had no weapon and was not using the car as one either.

However, Trump’s raging dishonesty had only just begun. He continued saying that…

“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”

Once again, that is utterly and flagrantly false. The officer was not hit by the car. Neither was anyone else. Not even close. If he went to the hospital it could only be as a tactic to be able to later make a false claim of injury. Contrary to Trump’s babbling, his own video that he attached to the comment shows that the officer was off to the side of the vehicle immediately after he fired. The vehicle then coasted to a collision with a parked car. Here is a better video of the incident…

Video of the ICE shooting Minneapolis shows that they murdered an innocent woman who posed no threat to them whatsoever. She was driving away.What a horrible tragedy. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blatantly lied about it. She and the officer must be prosecuted!

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-01-07T19:58:43.026Z

The officer was not only standing unharmed after the shooting, but he quickly walked away, without any sign of injury, and fled the scene in another vehicle. That is not standard operating procedure at a crime scene. What was he afraid of? Was he ordered to get out of there in order to effect the cover up?

Trump closed his comment by blaming the victim, and lying that the left is responsible for violent rhetoric and actions. Which in untrue, and was proven to be untrue in a report by Trump’s own “Justice” Department. Although they tried, and failed, to destroy that report. He continued saying that…

“The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!”

Trump’s version of “studying” any situation is just a means of manufacturing lies to make himself look good, and to cover up his crimes. And his commitment to law enforcement officers can be seen in his pardons for 1,500 rioters, many of whom were convicted of assaulting the police. The fact that he rushed to judgment in this case is further proof of his rank disrespect for the law and the office that he holds. Hopefully the poor woman who needlessly lost her life, and her family, will get justice in the days and weeks ahead.

Is Secretary of ‘War’ Pete Hegseth Covering Up the War Crimes that He and Trump Have Committed?

Posted by on December 16, 2025 at 1:40 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past few months Donald Trump has presided over a series of deadly air strikes on boats in the Caribbean that he alleged were engaged in drug trafficking. Never mind that he provided no evidence to support his allegations, or that such strikes in international waters are against international law. And even if there were evidence, the alleged crimes would not have been subject to capital punishment.

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

Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth

Trump’s Caribbean misadventures have been conducted purely for what he perceives to be the political benefit of slaughtering what he calls “narco-terrorists” (a ridiculous, made up term), and its usefulness in deflecting from his tribulations involving the Epstein files that he continues to suppress. Meanwhile, Trump’s Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth, has holiday visions of bloody corpses dancing in his head…

SEE THIS: The Nauseating Christmas ‘Wish” of Trump’s Bloodthirsty Secretary of ‘War’ Pete Hegseth

One particularly disturbing attack occurred on September 2, 2025, when the first air strike left a couple of survivors clinging to the wreckage of their boat. So there was a second strike ordered that succeeded in murdering the two helpless survivors. Most reputable military legal experts have called that a war crime.

Video of the first strike was released shortly after it occurred, But video of the second strike has been mysteriously withheld. Consequently, there has been a great deal of interest in releasing the second video in order to ascertain the facts that have been mired in controversy and ever-changing.

When this subject was first raised with Trump, he pretended to have an opinion favoring complete transparency and told reporters that he had “no problem” with releasing the second video. But that position didn’t hold for very long…

On December 3:
Question: You released video of that first boat strike on September 2nd, but not the second video. will you release the video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened?
Trump: I don’t know what they have, but whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.
On December 8:
Question: You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd off the coast of Venezuela.
Trump: I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news…Whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me.

Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

— The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-12-08T20:32:26.091Z

So Trump’s willingness to release the second video was short-lived, and he quickly shifted responsibility for what was being described as a war crime to his DoD underling, Hegseth. In the process, denying that he said what he was actually caught saying to a room full of reporters.

On Tuesday morning Hegseth was asked about the second video and gave an answer that appears he hopes will close the debate, saying that he would…

“…allow the HASC [House Armed Services Committee} and SASC [Senate Armed Services Committee] to see the unedited video of September 2nd, alongside Admiral Bradley, who has done a fantastic job, has made all the right calls, and we’re glad he’ll be there to do it. But in keeping with long-standing Department of Defense policy, of course we’re not going to release a top-secret, full, unedited video of that to the general public. HASC and SASC, appropriate committees, will see it, but not the general public.”

Hegseth on the second Sept 2 strike: "Of course we're not going to release a top secret full unedited of that to the general public"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-16T16:20:28.975Z

For some reason it has been appropriate to release every other video of the two dozen boat strikes (so far) in the Caribbean before this. They are estimated to have resulted in at least 95 deaths, possibly of innocent fishermen. But for this one video different rules apply, even though nothing is different about it. There is nothing more in it that would compromise national security or confidential military sources or methods.

The only difference with this second video is that it might reveal to the American people just how lawless and inhumane the Trump regime is in their conduct of this phony, undeclared war. So Hegseth prohibits its release in order to shield himself – and Trump – from accountability for their criminal misconduct. It also shields them from the public disgust and disgrace that would follow if they were to see what Hegseth and Trump have been up to.

Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been calling for the video to be released. Any efforts to suppress it can only be viewed as a deliberate cover up. And Hegseth cannot be the final word on this. Ultimately, Trump is supposed to be the commander-in-chief, and it his his decision to release or hide this video.

If Trump chooses to hide the video, he is essentially admitting that it contains information that would incriminate him and others. Very much like his choice to hide the Epstein files. Hopefully Congress will prevail in this matter, and the people will get the truth to which they are entitled.

Has Trump Already Pardoned the DC Pipe Bomber? Fox News Wants to Know!

Posted by on December 6, 2025 at 2:09 pm. 0 Comments :

It has been nearly five years since Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection against the United States, exhorting his MAGA cult followers to storm the Capitol in order to undermine democracy and retain his authoritarian grip on power. On that day the lives of members of Congress were threatened, 140 police officers were hospitalized, and Trump watched it all on TV for three hours before doing anything to end it.

Donald Trump Insurrection

On the first day of his reoccupation of the White House this year, Trump issued a blanket pardon for the rioters, many of whom had already pleaded guilty and been convicted of crimes as serious as seditious conspiracy. It was a brazenly treasonous act of betrayal to the country and the principles of law and order. Not that Trump cares about any of that unless he can use it to target his political foes.

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

Last week Trump’s “Justice” Department announced that they had arrested Brian J. Cole, Jr., as a suspect in the long lingering case of the D.C. pipe bomber, who planted bombs at the offices of the Democratic and Republican parties. While the motives are still not confirmed, it was revealed that he told investigators that he believed Trump’s “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him. Which would make him another violence-prone, right-wing wacko.

However, the plot thickens as legal analysts speculate that Cole might be able to claim that he can’t be charged because Trump’s January 6th pardons apply to him. They reason that the language of pardon was written so vaguely that it could include a broad array of people that were merely in the vicinity. It reads that Trump was granting…

“…a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, [and] pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments.”

Legal analysts worried that at the time the pardon was issued the ambiguity in that language could cause problems. But Trump’s legal advisors were too incompetent to pay heed to the warnings. This potential loophole was discussed on Fox News Friday by panelists on the “The Five” when Gillian Turner raised the question of whether Trump’s pardons could apply to Cole. Her co-panelist Emily Compagno replied…

“If that’s true, then this Justice Department will find a way to charge him with something, because they will not let this guy get away with it. And that’s the difference between this administration and the prior administration. Yes, pardons are absolute, but unlike Biden, that says for everything that will be ever done, that was specific by president Trump.”

Emily Compango on Fox News – It's okay to grant pardons for people who beat cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their role on Jan. 6th. But the DOJ will make sure the Trump supporter who planted pipe bombs is charged with a crime. But Biden's pardons were bad ????

There is a lot wrong with that answer. First of all, Compagno is suggesting that it would be proper for the the DoJ to try on various charges until they find one that they think will fit. But more to the point, she doesn’t deny the slippery slope that Trump created by issuing such a fuzzy pardon in the first place. Then she follows that up by making a lame attempt at “bothsides-ing” the matter to blame Biden for issuing vague pardons when his were actually well written and narrowly detailed in their scope.

Furthermore, no one would be surprised if Trump intended for his pardons to be broadly interpreted in order to grant all of his accomplices a “get out of jail free” card. And the DC pipe bomber is just the sort of person that Trump would want to set free. He is a Trump supporter. And that’s all that Trump cares about. It’s why he has already given pardons to so many other scurrilous cretins. Including one just last week to the former president of Honduras who was convicted of trafficking 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump has even done this before. A set of pardons that Trump previously issued for his co-conspirators in the “fake electors” scheme had the same imprecision as the January 6th pardons. He listed 77 people (i.e. Rudolph Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Mark Meadows, etc.), but added that the list was not limited to them. That pardon reads that Trump grants…

“…a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities, participation in, or advocacy for or of any slate or proposed slate of Presidential electors…”

There is already someone using that pardon as a defense in a case wherein he is accused of voting twice in two different states. Obviously that has nothing to do with the intent of the pardon, but it was written so poorly that this argument can still be made. In fact, anyone who committed voter fraud in 2020 could try to claim that it applies to them.

Time will tell if this defense strategy will work. But just giving people like the DC pipe bomber openings like this is evidence that Trump’s ignorance, incompetence, and perhaps deliberate intentions, is not making America safer for anyone but the criminals in Trump’s MAGA mob family.

The Nauseating Christmas ‘Wish” of Trump’s Bloodthirsty Secretary of ‘War’ Pete Hegseth

Posted by on December 1, 2025 at 12:59 pm. 0 Comments :

As the American people recover from their Thanksgiving feasts, Donald Trump and his Republican MAGA cult in Washington are demonstrating their ability to sink lower in morality, legality, and even holiday spirit, than anyone previously thought possible.

Donald Trump Christmas

Trump is devoting his profoundly short attention span to deporting law abiding migrants, including citizens, and building his elitist White House ballroom. His Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, is persecuting Democratic members of Congress, on Trump’s orders, and blaming President Biden for all manner of crimes committed on Trump’s watch. Meanwhile, American families are struggling to cope with the economic disasters caused by Trump’s ignorant agenda of tariffs and cozying up to corporations.

SEE THIS: Trump Promises Higher Prices ‘On Everything’ Just in Time for the Holidays – No, Really!

Which brings us to Trump’s Secretary of “War” (a post that doesn’t actually exist), Pete Hegseth. Having graduated from weekend Fox News host to Pentagon Chief, Hegseth has distinguished himself as incompetent, callous, and brazenly criminal. And now that he has gotten through the Thanksgiving holidays, he is concentrating on his disgustingly barbaric and lawless anti-drug trafficking efforts in the Caribbean, where he has engaged in murdering suspects without ever producing a shred of evidence of any crime.

Not satisfied with merely blowing up potentially innocent fishermen, Hegseth just posted a meme on his Twitter/X account that exhibits his grossly reprehensible disrespect for human life, along with his Christmas “wish.”. The meme featured a character from a beloved children’s book series gunning down people in boats, with a headline that reads “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists,”

Trump's Secretary of "War," Pete Hegseth, thinks it's funny to joke about killing people. No sane military leader thinks that's funny, even in wartime. Hegseth is a seriously disturbed person. And so is Trump.Especially since they have no evidence of guilt.

So Hegseth thinks it’s funny to joke about killing people. No sane military leader thinks that’s funny. Even in wartime reputable officers and soldiers are averse to the death of fellow human beings. Hegseth, on the other hand, is a seriously disturbed person with a sick affinity for slaughtering strangers at sea. And so is Trump. Especially since they have no evidence of guilty conduct.

Trump was asked about the reports that Hegseth ordered a second bombing of a boat in order to “kill everyone” aboard, including survivors of the first strike, which is unambiguously a war crime. Trump replied that “I wouldn’t have wanted that. Not a second strike.” But he still defended Hegseth’s actions and denial of any wrongdoing. However, committing war crimes is consistent with Hegseth’s views on combat. Media Matters compiled several comments he made defending war crimes, and the soldiers who committed them, while working at Fox News.

Trump and his administration cronies are actively trying to cover up and distort reports about these crimes. But Congress is preparing to investigate further with members of both parties interested in acquiring more details and testimony. That is not likely to exonerate either Hegseth or Trump. And it certainly doesn’t excuse the sort of vile behavior displayed by Hegseth in posting his Franklin meme.

What is likely is that Trump et al are using this scandal to distract the American people from Trump’s abysmal failure to serve the interests of the people. The economy is in freefall. Prices are for everything from groceries to housing to healthcare are skyrocketing. And the families of neighbors are being ripped apart for no good reason. Is it any wonder that Trump’s approval polling continues a steep slide into the abyss of presidential polling? According to CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten…

“Trump is at the lowest point he is in his second term. […] Anywhere you look this is the second worst [after Nixon] for either party at this point in their second term dating all the way back since the 1940s.”

But hey…Trump will get a huge new ballroom, a jet plane from Qatar, and billions from his crypto grift ops. So it’s all worth it, right? Right? RIGHT?

Pam Bondi Spends Thanksgiving on Fox News Blaming the D.C. Shooting on President Biden

Posted by on November 27, 2025 at 11:11 am. 1 Comments :

A couple of families in West Virginia are going to have considerably less to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. They are the families of the two National Guard troops who were tragically shot on Wednesday and are now in critical condition in a District of Columbia hospital, rather than at home for a holiday dinner.

Joe Biden, Donald Trump Baby, Fake News

These soldiers should not have been in D.C. at all. They served no practical purpose. They spent their time picking up garbage, standing around bored in front of federal buildings, or resting in parking lots that served as their quarters. Trump deliberately – and illegally – put them in harms way in order to juice his pitifully sagging approval polls.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

Nevertheless, the soldiers performed their duties faithfully before suffering the consequences resulting from Trump’s ignorance and ego. And on the day following the tragedy, Trump dispatched his Cabinet cronies to make excuses for him and to shift the blame for his failures unto others. So his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, spent her Thanksgiving morning disseminating propaganda on Fox News…

Bondi: We have looked at failed policies of Biden, from autopenning violent felons being taken off death row, to letting people into our country without proper vetting after the entire Afghanistan debacle.

Likewise, Trump’s profoundly unqualified FBI Director, Kash Patel, was covered by Fox News at a pointless press conference where he didn’t deliver a single salient piece of information…

Reporter: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum?
Patel: I believe Kristi Noem put that out, and that’s a DHS matter and I’ll refer it to them.

The remarks of both of these Trump regime mouthpieces failed to enlighten the public about anything relevant to the crime or its investigation. To the contrary, they dodged any honest commentary, and instead disgorged partisan finger-pointing or diversions.

Bondi’s remarks were littered with lies. She didn’t bother to provide any evidence that Biden had pardoned violent felons, or that he did so with an autopen. Although her allegation is wildly hypocritical considering that Trump did pardon hundreds of violent January 6th rioters, including cop beaters.

What’s more, Bondi’s attempt to associate the D.C. suspect with Biden letting unvetted people into the country was flagrantly false. In fact, as reported by ABC News, the suspect “applied for asylum in 2024 and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration.” [And that] “The suspect previously worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.” That’s according to Trump’s CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Also, what Bondi refers to as the “Afghanistan debacle” was actually negotiated and agreed to by Trump and the Taliban.

As for Patel, he blatantly avoided responding the question, that he surely knew the answer to, because he was afraid of triggering a tantrum from Trump, who is already reportedly considering firing him.

for his part, Trump issued his own message in response to the shooting. And true to form, it was self-serving slop that was intended solely to deceive, shift blame, and exalt himself…

Leave it to Trump to exploit & politicize the tragic murder of 2 National Guard soldiers who he put in harms way for no reason.He taints their memory with bigotry toward all Afghans and Somalis (who had nothing do with it) in America. And falsely blames Biden. (See next comment)

The foregoing notwithstanding, here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for the National Guard troops, and a happy Thanksgiving for everyone.

Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Admits Trump Wants to Deploy Troops Only to ‘Democrat-Run’ Cities

Posted by on September 9, 2025 at 1:05 pm. NO Comments :

For several weeks now Donald Trump has been deploying military troops to American cities on a mission that he says is to reduce crime. Never mind that each of the cities that he has already invaded have had declining crime rates before his deployments. And set aside the fact that it is illegal to use U.S. troops against American citizens.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

It has been impossible not to notice that every city that Trump has designated as a destination for his army assignments – Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, Baltimore – all just happen to have Black mayors who are Democrats. What a crazy coincidence, huh?

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

Now Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is shedding some light on how Trump chose the cities that he is sending soldiers to. Responding to a question at Tuesday’s White House press briefing about Trump’s domestic military mission and who is being targeted, Leavitt said that…

“These are the career criminals, the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country. And he hopes that more Democrats will call the White House to allow us to help them.”

Leavitt: "These are the bad guys that we are picking up in Washington DC every day. The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city across the country."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-09T17:50:58.958Z

There’s a lot of bullpucky to unpack in that brief sound bite. For starters, Leavitt is lying that the people being detained and disappeared are “career criminals.” In fact, as many as 70% have no criminal records at all according to the Trump administration’s own data. Many are citizens or green card holders. And most were denied the due process that is guaranteed by the Constitution.

What’s more, it is peculiar that Leavitt says that they are picking up “bad guys” in D.C. every day, when Trump has been saying that he has cut crime 100%. In other words, according to Trump, there is no crime at all in D.C. anymore. So who are they arresting?

THEY JUST CAN'T STOP LYING!Trump's Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, keeps posting these memes every day boasting about dozens of arrests in Washington, D.C., even though Trump says that there is ZERO crime there.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-08T17:28:41.536Z

Finally, Leavitt lets on that Trump is actually only interested in occupying cities with Democratic leaders. As noted above, her admission that “The president would love to do this in every Democrat-run city” has been obvious. But now she is confirming that it is the official policy of the Trump administration. Why wouldn’t Trump “love” to do this in any of the cities with the most violent crime in red states? Doesn’t he care about the people in Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, or Arkansas? Or is he just laser-focused on going to war with Chicago…

WTHF? Trump is declaring war on…CHICAGO?He posted this on his Truth(less) (Anti)Social today.
