Media Bias

The Trump White House Website Now Has a Page to Attack Media that Tells the Truth About Him

Posted by on November 30, 2025 at 12:00 pm. 0 Comments :

Presidents throughout history have had some rocky relationships with the free press. It’s a natural conflict given the media’s mission to report truthfully about everything that a political leader does and says, and the leader’s determination to always present a positive image.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

However, no president has had as hostile an attitude toward the media as Donald Trump, who frequently refers to them in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” Trump’s animus toward honest journalism is evident in his knee-jerk and meritless lawsuits, and his infantile insults. Just this week Trump has maligned reporters as “creeps,” “stupid,” and “ugly,” just because they dared to tell the truth about him.

In a desperate response to the consistently bad press that Trump gets and deserves, he had his White House social media flunkies develop and post a new web page on the White House website. It is ostensibly a page intended to track what Trump regards as media bias. Although what it is in reality is just another platform to exhibit his hatred for the free press.

The White House web page currently features as its top alleged exposé, under the headline “MEDIA OFFENDER OF THE WEEK,” a story about the recent video that several members of Congress – all veterans of the military or intelligence community – who reminded American soldiers that the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires them not to obey an illegal order.

However, the video posted on Trump’s page is an edited version that inserts a text stamp declaring that the patriots in the video are “SEDITIOUS” because “The president has never given an illegal order.” Which is patently false. Trump has issued numerous orders that have been deemed illegal by federal courts and judges, including some who were appointed by Trump.

The web page then goes on to what it calls its “Offender Hall of Shame: A Record of the Media’s False and Misleading Stories Flagged by The White House.” In this section it simply complains about stories by news organizations that Trump has already demeaned for failing to be unflinchingly adoring and supportive. They include the Washington Post, CBS News, CNN, and MSNBC (MS NOW).

There is also a section on “Repeat Offenders” with 21 news sources listed. But it doesn’t include the Trump-fluffers at Newsmax, One America News, or Fox News. For the record, Fox is the only “news” enterprise that has paid out 3/4 of a billion dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit for having lied on behalf of Trump.

Donald Trump has launched a "Media Bias" web page on the White House website. And guess what?

It is profoundly improper for the White House to post a web page that does nothing but attack media outlets that Trump disagrees with. It is the sort of thing that only occurs in authoritarian regimes like Russia and North Korea. But then, since those are the countries and leaders that Trump most admires and seeks to emulate, this shouldn’t surprise anybody.

HUH? Fox News Praises Trump for Being 80 Years Old and Severely Sleep Deprived

Posted by on November 29, 2025 at 1:14 pm. 0 Comments :

The endless flow of gushing adoration for Donald Trump by his devotees at his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is one of the best indicators of an emerging authoritarian state wherein the aspiring dictator exerts total control over a compliant press corps.

Trump in Bed, Eating, Sad

However, the degree of Trump-fluffing that comes out of Fox News puts the state media mavens in North Korea and Russia to shame. The Foxies really should keep handkerchiefs handy to wipe the drool that’s dripping from their chins.

This was particularly notable in a segment on “The Ingraham Angle” Friday night (video below) when fill-in host Lisa Boothe raved about Trump’s allegedly abundant energy. Which is so far removed from reality that even the New York Times, that has been sucking up to Trump of late, has noticed Drowsy Don’s struggle to stay awake.

SEE THIS: SLEEPY DON Throws a Tedious Tantrum Triggered By a New York Times Exposé of Trump Fatigue

Boothe referenced the article in the Times to lead into her lazy opinion that Trump’s dynamism far exceeds the comparative lethargy that she ascribed to President Biden. As for Trump, she says that…

“The New York Times is claiming that he slowed down and is showing signs of fatigue.”

[Quoting NYT]: ‘Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to. He has fewer public events on his schedule and he is traveling much less than he did by this point during his first year in office. Although he is taking more foreign trips. He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5:00 PM on average.’.

“Well, the man is almost 80 but he’s also a machine. I mean, he barely sleeps, he works around the clock and he constantly talks to the press.

It was nice of Boothe to give the Fox News viewers a taste of the article that conducted a deep analysis of Trump’s physical and mental decline. However, her pro-Trump conclusion was hysterical in its portrayal of him as an elderly superhuman who doesn’t require sleep. To the contrary, lack of sleep is not a sign of strength. It is a debilitating condition that diminishes mental acuity, produces hallucinations, and causes anxiety and psychoses. Which explains quite a bit of Trump’s abnormal and dangerous behavior.

Furthermore, if Trump is suffering from insomnia, it would be interesting to know what’s causing it. Some common causes are anxiety, stress, depression, and pharmaceutical medications such as Adderall. Lack of sleep doesn’t improve anyone’s ability to function. There’s a reason that sleep deprivation is often used as a form of torture. Missing these obvious caveats to her compliments, Boothe went on to malign Biden, lying that…

“Meanwhile Biden always slept, worked sometimes, and never talked to the press unless they were asking about ice cream flavors. But some people are still living in opposite world when it comes to these two presidents.”

[Video of Dr. Vin Gupta on the MeidasTouch Network]: ‘President Biden was active on weekends. Especially riding his bike in Rehoboth Beach. No one denies that President Biden, when he had his moments of being 80, 82, whatever it was. In this case the White House is not even willing to even acknowledge the president is showing obvious signs of age-related cognitive decline…He might take trips overseas in Air Force One. That doesn’t substitute for the lack of physical activity…There’s a reason to be worried based on that public performance.’

“Well, Biden also fell off that stationary bike.”

Once again, it was nice of Boothe to give the Fox News viewers a taste of Dr. Gupta’s analysis of the comparative vigor of Trump and Biden. Although she ended it with the lie that Biden fell from a stationary bike. Actually the standard bike that he had been riding fell over after he came to stop.

Boothe’s snarky aside does nothing to refute the substance of Dr. Gupta’s remarks. Also, she edited the full video of Dr. Gupta, leaving out the following diagnosis of Trump…

“It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline…He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office…Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason to be worried based on his public performance.”

People in Trump’s inner circle were already praising him for not sleeping during his first occupation of the white House, including his chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, and former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But if they are really worried about Trump getting enough sleep, they can rest assured that he is resting plenty during all of the meetings that he has been caught sleeping through.

However, no one should be impressed that Trump doesn’t get sufficient sleep. They should be concerned about how it is degrading his ability to reason and function. Not that Fox News will notice. Which makes one wonder, are they getting enough sleep?

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.

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

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.

REPORTER: Can you clarify the timeline of when the suspect was granted asylum?KASH PATEL: I believe Kristi Noem put that out, and that's a DHS matter and I'll refer it to them

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-11-27T14:47:39.696Z

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)

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-27T11:02:57.467Z

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

Democratic Senator Gets Bomb Threat After Trump Called for Her Execution – Fox News Blames Her

Posted by on November 22, 2025 at 1:02 pm. 0 Comments :

Democrats and Republicans are both warning that these are dangerous times that we are living through. Political violence has been on the increase. Democrats have been concerned about this for several years, but Republicans seem to have just taken note of it since the shooting of right-wing activist, Charlie Kirk.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News

Kirk’s murder riled up the MAGA confederacy, generating a relentless stream of accusations against Democrats as being responsible for the rising tide of violence. The right’s complaints have themselves risen to the level of potentially violent rhetoric. That’s especially true of Donald Trump. And they are in complete denial of the fact that most such violence, by far, is committed by conservative perpetrators.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

This week Trump lashed out a group of Democratic members of Congress – all military and/or intelligence veterans – who produced a video to remind soldiers of their legal obligation, as stated in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, that requires them to refuse to obey unlawful orders. To which Trump and his MAGA minions immediately replied by accusing them of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”

Trump’s threat is despicable and inflammatory. The concerns of those in the video are not hypothetical. Trump has already issued orders that are plausibly unlawful, including those to bomb boats in Caribbean without evidence of any criminal activity, and his invasions of U.S. cities by military troops to quash peaceful protests. With regards to the latter, several court rulings have already found that those deployments are illegal, including one such ruling this week.

Another affirmation of the grotesque consequences of Trump’s outbursts is that one of those in the video, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, has already been the victim of a bomb threat. Fortunately, she and her family were not at home at the time, and no one was hurt. But the intent was clear. Except, that is, for those at Fox News, who reported on the incident and perversely twisted the facts to blame Sen. Slotkin for the attempted bombing of herself. The Fox News story reported that…

“Sen. Slotkin’s home targeted with bomb threat days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” [and that] “The video, which was posted on Tuesday by Slotkin, has drawn the ire of Republicans as well as the Trump administration.”

Did you catch that? Fox reported that the bomb threat occurred “days after she told troops to defy ‘illegal’ orders.” Which is technically true. However, it was just a few hours after Trump posted his incendiary call for Slotkin and her colleagues to be executed. Which is far more likely to have incited the bomb threat. Funny that Fox News didn’t mention that. What’s more, in Fox’s retelling, it wasn’t Slotkin who was the target of the bomb threat, just her home. Fox also only associated the violence with unnamed Republicans and the Trump administration, but not Trump himself, who made the reprehensible remarks.

Sen. Slotkin is not the only one who has been on the receiving end of MAGA malice. Another participant in the video, Rep. Jason Crow, has been getting profane phone calls threating him and his family. You can hear them here, if you have the stomach for it. His congressional office has also received a bomb threat.

To reiterate, these atrocious acts were triggered by patriotic veterans issuing a reminder about the duties that service members swear an oath to. And Fox News is complicit in the deliberate distortion of their intentions that makes the threat of violence toward these members of Congress more likely. Some people might call that seditious behavior. But if they did, Trump would surely pardon them, just as he did others who were actually convicted of it.

UPDATE: Trump was rage-posting late Saturday against the members of Congress in the video…

CRYBABY TRUMP is whining and incoherent again. So I thought I'd help him out.

Fox News and GOP Senator Idiotically Claim ‘Democrats Are Calling For Treason From Military’

Posted by on November 19, 2025 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The rise of authoritarianism in the reign of Donald Trump has been an inescapable concern for the patriotic Americans who cherish the principles on which this country was founded. For the whole of his time occupying the White House, Trump has worked against those principles in order to advance his cravings for wealth and power.

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

Fox News, Constitution

In just the first year of his second term, Trump has wildly exceeded the anti-American aspirations of his first term. He is imposing retributive and inflationary tariffs on most of America’s allies. He is sending troops into U.S. cities to suppress peaceful, lawful dissent. He is directing his “Justice” Department to indict and persecute his political foes. He is attempting to muzzle the free press via government pressure and ludicrous lawsuits. He is trying to rig future elections with partisan gerrymandering. And that’s an abbreviated list.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens Republicans to Gerrymander Red States With a Flurry of Downright Deranged Lies

In short, Trump is working tirelessly on poisoning the institutions that hold America together. He is hellbent on twisting every one of those institution – from governmental, legal, academic, diplomatic, legislative, and even cultural – into slaves to his personal obsessions. And among the most worrisome are his efforts aimed at the institution of America’s military.

In addition to Trump’s hostilities toward U.S. cities with Democratic leaders, he is escalating his war on members of the Democratic Party itself. He recently ordered his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to investigate Bill Clinton and other Democrats over baseless accusations of associations with Jeffrey Epstein. And on Wednesday his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, aired a segment that explicitly accused Democrats of advocating treason.

The segment featured an interview with Tennessee Republican senator, Marsha Blackburn, that grossly misinterprets a video produced by several Democratic members of Congress encouraging service members to honor their oaths to the Constitution (Video below). The segment played above Fox’s preposterous and hyperbolic chyron that read “Critics Say Dems Calling For Treason From Military.”

Blackburn: It is inconceivable that you would have elected officials that are saying to uniformed members of the military who have taken an oath to protect and defend that they say would defy the orders that they have been given to execute their mission. I find it inconceivable, but that is what they have chosen to do, and we will see what the response to them from Democrats…I find this just so disturbing that they would say defy the orders if you do not like the orders.
Faulkner: I don’t think they understand the slippery slope of what that does to an already unpopular Congress.

“Inconceivable!” "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” (Also "Treason" on Fox News chyron)The Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally REQUIRES service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-19T19:58:00.399Z

“Inconceivable”? Blackburn says that twice. But as was noted by Inigo Montoya in “The Princess Bride,” “I do not think it means what you think it means.” For one thing, they never said to “defy the orders if you do not like the orders.” They referred only to unlawful orders. And the Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 92), literally requires service members to refuse orders that are illegal, unconstitutional, or violate military law. But don’t expect anyone on Fox News, or among the MAGA GOP, to know that.

The brazen and purposeful dishonesty of Blackburn and Fox News is meant to bring the animosity of their viewers toward Democrats to a furious boil. It is meant to further divide the nation and potentially incite violence. It is intended to put a wedge between the military and the American citizens they serve.

As such, it is Fox News and Trump’s flunkies who are engaging in the most heinous sort of unpatriotic rhetoric that should be regarded as – not treason – but at least inconceivable in civil society.

FACT CHECK: Serial Liar Trump Unleashed a Fury of Flagrant Falsehoods (aka Lies) on 60 Minutes

Posted by on November 3, 2025 at 1:07 pm. 0 Comments :

It is a rare occurrence when Donald Trump allows himself to be interviewed by anyone other than one of the slobbering sycophants who populate the MAGA media outlets like Fox News or Newsmax or One America News Network. It is evidence of his innate cowardice, insecurity, and fear of being asked a question that is more difficult than “How did you become so handsome and brilliant?”

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

Trump Lies

Which may have sparked some curiosity when it was announced that Trump would be interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Norah O’Donnell. Although it shouldn’t have for reasons that will be dealt with in more detail below. On the surface, it seemed peculiar that Trump would appear on the network and program that he recently sued for alleged “election interference.”

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

True to form, Trump delivered a performance that was rife with deflection and dishonesty. When he wasn’t making up fantastical diversions from reality, he was swerving off into unrelated responses to questions he either didn’t know the answers to, or was too afraid to reply with anything resembling the truth.

Fortunately, CNN’s designated fact-checker, Daniel Dale, was on the job. He posted a pretty comprehensive summation of the many lies that Trump tried to pass off as coherent replies to inquiries on some serious matters. What follows are some of the more egregiously truthless Trumpisms itemized in Dale’s article…

  • It’s not true grocery prices “are down”; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they’re up
  • It’s not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now” (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated “announcements” figure)
  • It’s not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times” (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
  • It’s not true Trump has ended “eight wars” (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren’t wars at all
  • It’s not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
  • It’s not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
  • It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged and stolen” (his usual lie)
  • It’s not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
  • It’s not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
  • It’s not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle
  • It’s not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants

It’s ironic that Trump is lying so profusely during a “60 Minutes” interview. He sued CBS over an interview they conducted with Kamala Harris that he said was election interference and “probably illegal.” CBS settled the lawsuit without apologizing or conceding any wrongdoing. But they still shelled out $16 million dollars for his presidential library, if there is ever is one.

That settlement was a more of a bribe that CBS was paying to insure that mob boss Trump wouldn’t block the merger that CBS’ parent corporation, Paramount, was trying to complete with Skydance Media, a company run by Trump pals, Larry and David Ellison. There was no legal reason to settle. The case had no merit whatsoever. Trump was alleging that “60 Minutes” had improperly edited the interview to favor Harris politically. They didn’t.

What’s more, Trump acknowledged that he knew that CBS would be editing his interview. Which they did. It was whittled down from 90 minutes to about 28, in much the same way that he complained about for the Harris interview. And while it was in progress, Trump revealed that, not only was he aware of the editing, but he gave CBS permission to edit out specific parts that exposed the bias of the network’s new owners in his favor…

“You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you. […] I think you have a great new leader, frankly, who’s – the young woman [Bari Weiss] that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great, from what I know – I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person. But ’60 Minutes’ was forced to pay me a lot of money because they took her [Kamala Harris] answer out that was so bad it was election-changing.”

So Trump sued CBS for what they did with the Harris interview, which is also precisely what he was now conspiring with CBS to do for his own interview. And the rest of the time he was lying. Of course, most of America – and the world – is already aware that Trump lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. But the reputation of CBS is now pretty much shot to hell. And unless the honest journalists who haven’t quit yet rise up to defend the free press, CBS can take their place in the MAGA Media Hall of Shame.

PROPAGANDA WORKS! Fox News and Other MAGA Media Deliver Disciples for Dear Leader Trump (Poll)

Posted by on October 22, 2025 at 2:50 pm. 0 Comments :

The United States as led by His MAGA-sty, Donald Trump, is suffering one of its most serious challenges since the Civil War. In many respects the current crisis embodies some of the same threats that tore the nation apart in that deadly and divisive conflagration. The Trump driven turmoil that America is undergoing today is ripping apart families over political and moral differences, and interpretations of law and principle.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

Trump and his Republican Party have taken the lead in disparaging Democrats and even Republicans who fail to be sufficiently worshipful of Trump. And it is not merely the divergence of opinion that is common in a healthy democracy. The MAGA-tists have embarked on a crusade that mirrors the hostilities that resulted in the Battle of the States almost 200 years ago. Their invectives and lies are off the charts crazy.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

A new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) sheds additional light on the severity and the causes of the division in American political life. And, not surprisingly, much of the responsibility lies with the media. The poll found that…

“Americans who most trust far-right news, including Newsmax and One America News, for accurate political information show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job as president (92%), followed by 86% who most trust Fox News. Smaller majorities of Americans who most trust the radio (67%) and who do not trust any media source also approve (61%). Far fewer Americans who most trust YouTube or podcasts (46%), social media (42%), mainstream TV news (25%), and newspapers (19%) approve of the job Trump is doing as president.”

In short, viewers of Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, and other MAGA media, are by far the most likely to believe the flagrant lies that prop up Trump’s public image. Those viewers are the glassy-eyed cult followers who regard Trump as a pseudo-deity who can do no wrong. And the reason they buy into that nonsense is that it is all that they are exposed to from the pro-Trump propaganda sources that they hungrily consume.

The poll delved deeply into a broad array of other political subjects and where Trump fit in. Or more pointedly, failed to fit in. For instance…

  • A majority of Americans agree “President Trump is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy” (56%).
  • A majority of Americans (56%) disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, compared with 42% who approve.
  • Americans who most trust far-right news show the highest level of approval of Trump’s job handling the Epstein files at 70%, followed by 68% who most trust Fox News.
  • Six in ten Americans (62%) believe things in the country are going in the wrong direction, including most Democrats (92%) and independents (71%), compared with 24% of Republicans.
  • Majorities say that the cuts in federal funding of health care programs (60%)…have gone too far.
  • Republicans (22%) are more likely than independents (16%) and Democrats (12%) to agree that political violence may be necessary to save the country.
  • Most Americans agree that “What President Trump is doing to the federal government is an assault on constitutional checks and balances and the rule of law” (54%).

While it is comforting to see that most of the American people reject Trump and his aspirational authoritarian agenda, it is troubling that there are still a fair number of weak willed citizens who are so easily misled. And the fact that they are swayed by the deliberately dishonest right-wing media is a disconcerting affirmation of the power of propaganda.

If the American experiment is to endure, there must be a solution to the harm posed by media that is purposefully lying on behalf of special interests, both political and financial. That solution must be careful not to step on the right of free speech. And while the right to speak may be practiced freely, it is not necessarily free of rebuttal or consequences if it deliberately causes harm.

Part of the solution was demonstrated in the $787 million settlement that Fox News had to pay to Dominion Voting Systems for defamation. There needs to be more of that. And it needs to hold individuals like Trump accountable as well. Because the more that liars in politics and media are held to a higher standard, the fewer opportunities evildoers will have to create the chaos that empowers the perpetrators of propaganda.

Lara Trump Attacks the No Kings Movement By Quoting a Fake Trump Truth Social Post on Fox News

Posted by on October 18, 2025 at 12:36 pm. 0 Comments :

As millions of Americans hit the streets for the “No Kings” protest against Donald Trump and his authoritarian aspirations, the Trump regime’s propaganda mouthpieces are taking to the MAGA media to viciously malign these patriotic protesters.

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

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

The seething hostility of the pro-kings Republican Party has devolved entirely into a blatantly anti-American faction of fascists and frothing followers of the festering Trump cult. Their attempts at disparaging the democracy loving protesters has sunk to noxious lows wherein they repeatedly slander the No Kings events as “hate rallies” and baselessly accuse the peaceful participants of being terrorist sympathizers and criminals.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is contributing to the contemptuous caterwauling. Everyone from Sean Hannity to Jesse Watters to Laura Ingraham to the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends, are lashing out with snarling invectives. And among them is Fox News host, and Trump’s own daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who told her pals at Fox and Friends that…

“It should surprise absolutely nobody that the same group who doesn’t understand the meaning of fascism and also can’t define what a woman is, doesn’t understand what a king is…It feels like so many of these people don’t know what to do with themselves….So I guess their response is to get out in the streets and protest it. The best response I’ve seen thus far came from president Trump himself.”

Whereupon Lara read what she said were Daddy Trump’s own words responding to the first No Kings rally last June. Reading from her notes, Lara recited the following…

“A HUGE THANK YOU to all the ‘No Kings’ protesters yesterday! I was very concerned a king was trying to take my place, but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT! Great job all!!!”

There’s just one little problem with that. Trump never posted that comment or said those words. It was a fake meme that circulated on Twitter after the June No Kings rallies that drew over five million people. But Lara is so stupid that she doesn’t know the real quotes of her pappy-in-law from the phonies.

However, Lara isn’t alone. Last June after the first No Kings rallies, Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, made the same mistake. During an interview with GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Bartiromo quoted the same fake Trump post as if were real. Maybe that’s where Lara got it from. After all, that’s where Donald gets all of his fake news from. And they all better start to pay attention to these No Kings events. Because they are drawing historic crowds, and…

“Political science research has quantified that when a mere 3.5 percent of a nation’s population mobilizes in peaceful protest, it becomes nearly impossible for the government to ignore the people’s demands.”

[UPDATE: According to an Economist/YouGov poll, (Oct 24-27), the No Kings protests drew 8%!]

On a lighter note, the Daily Show put together a montage of MAGA minions, including Donald Trump, expressing their disgust at anyone who would insult the American people as viciously as Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, did recently. Just because they were exercising their free speech rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Wow, Republicans are outraged at Karoline Leavitt calling half the country d?e?p?l?o?r?a?b?l?e?s? terrorists

Trump’s Press Secretary and Fox News Go All-In Maligning Democrats as Hamas Terrorists and Antifa

Posted by on October 16, 2025 at 2:53 pm. 0 Comments :

The Olympic-grade hypocrisy of Donald Trump and his servile Republican Party has already proven to be unmatched for outrageous hyperbole and dangerously reckless rhetoric aimed at inciting fear, hatred, and, yes, violence. It is a daily ritual for the MAGA cult to be baptized in the toxicity of the far-right’s neo-fascism.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

So, true to form, the spokesperson for the MAGAtist-In-Chief, Karoline Leavitt, upped the ante on Thursday morning during yet another interview on Fox News. Like so many of Trump’s Cabinet members, she seems to make more appearances there than she does in the White House Press Room. And on this occasion she was loaded for bear. Even more than usual.

Leavitt was taking questions from Fox News while the government was in the midst of the third week of the Trump Shutdown. Which has been going very badly for the administration whose excuses were falling flat with the American people who knew better than to believe Trump and Company. Consequently, she desperately needed a distraction. And what she chose was this bit of vile defamation…

“The Democrat Party’s main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals. That is who the Democrat Party is catering to. Not the Trump administration, and not the White House, and not the Republican Party, who is standing up for law abiding Americans, not just across the country, but around the world.”

Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

Note that Leavitt isn’t merely accusing Democratic leaders or politicians or media of being terrorists and criminals, as the MAGA Klan often do. Nope. Now she is accusing their constituents. Which means Democratic voters. That’s at least half the country. It’s a major escalation of hostilities by the Trump regime.

What’s more, Leavitt couldn’t be more mistaken in her maliciousness. After all, it’s Trump who is the criminal with 34 felony convictions. He is the one who pardoned hundreds of rioters who stormed the Capitol and assaulted cops. He has supported the terrorist actions of Vladimir Putin against civilians in Ukraine, and Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza. He directs his own terrorist actions against potentially innocent fishermen in the Caribbean. Not to mention his hostile invasions of U.S. cities with military troops. Yet Trump et al project their own malfeasance onto their enemies.

As for “standing up for law abiding Americans,” Trump has issued pardons for his friends, and convicted criminals, such as Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Peter Navarro, and many more. And it is Trump who continues to cover up for his pedo-pal, Jeffrey Epstein. An aversion to being law abiding seems to be a prerequisite for entry into Trump’s inner circle.

Meanwhile, Leavitt is also promoting a Fox News smear campaign involving the nonexistent organization, Antifa, which the Trump regime has tried to link to Democrats. A story by Fox News asserts that Trump’s “Justice” Department has filed its first charges against alleged Antifa conspirators, saying that…

“A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members with terrorism-related charges for a July 4 attack on an ICE facility in Texas. […] ‘For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism,’ FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.”

There’s just one little problem with that. Although the terms “Antifa” and “Antifa Cell” were used repeatedly throughout the Fox News story and the descriptive text of the indictment, and even by Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel, the word “Antifa” was not mentioned once in the seven actual counts against the defendants. And since there is no such thing as Antifa, it is not surprising that prosecutors could not make legal assertions of membership in an imaginary group.

This is how Trump and his MAGA cohorts are “toning down the rhetoric” that they pretend to believe is so divisive and dangerous. To they contrary, they have been the worst practitioners of vicious invectives to stir up trouble. They know what they’re doing and what the consequences are. They just simply don’t care.

Fox News Lies Fuel the Trump Regime’s Efforts to Blame Democrats and Migrants for the Shutdown

Posted by on October 15, 2025 at 1:40 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s Day 15 of the Trump Shutdown and there is still no discernable exit scenario. Republicans continue to insist that they have nothing to negotiate. Democrats remain steadfastly committed to preventing the healthcare costs for millions of Americans from doubling.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

So naturally it’s time for Donald Trump and his minions to look to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for support to bolster their faltering campaign to strangle the life out of the government that they despise and to avoid opening it up to serve the people, and perhaps, hold a vote on the issue that most terrifies Trump: releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, joined in on the lies that Democrats want to keep the government shutdown in order to give free healthcare to illegals aliens. But her “proof” of that is a story by Fox News that completely fails to validate the charge – even when it isn’t spreading flagrant falsehoods. The article published by Fox News leads off saying that…

“EXCLUSIVE: The White House unveiled a number of criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid as the Senate remains in gridlock over the government shutdown. Fox News Digital obtained detailed information surrounding the arrests of 49 illegal migrants, who have all been deported under the Trump administration, who were arrested for an array of crimes that occurred in the U.S. […] Republicans argue that ‘more than 1 million illegal aliens’ receive Medicaid under the previously existing program that was revised under Trump’s landmark bill.”

Nowhere in the Fox News article that Leavitt cited is there any documentation of the alleged “criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid.” And even if there were documentation, finding 49 out of a million is hardly evidence of a crisis. It’s barely a rounding error.

The Fox News article concedes that “federal law prohibits undocumented individuals from obtaining Medicaid.” Which is a point that Democrats have been making all along. The article even acknowledges that “A White House official explained that illegal migrants could obtain Medicaid through different means, but, specifically, emergency care.” And emergency care is mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that was signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The article further stated that “emergency care spending on those not legally in the U.S. rose from $3 billion to $9 billion under President Joe Biden.” Once again, there is nothing validating that claim in the article. So it should come as no surprise that it is a totally false claim. According to KFF Health News…

“A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows a total of $27 billion in federal and state spending on Emergency Medicaid for noncitizen immigrants between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2023. […] this spending represents less than 1% of overall spending in Medicaid over the entire time period, and, in some years, is less than half of a percent. Spending on Emergency Medicaid was $3.8 billion in FY 2023 and was .4% of total Medicaid spending that year.”

The figures stated above cover most of the Biden presidency and don’t come close to the $9 billion stated by Fox News. What’s more, those CBO numbers are for all immigrants – both legal and otherwise. Which means that the Republican excuse for keeping the Trump Shutdown going is a tiny fraction of federal funds for emergency care that has been mandated by law for forty years.

The real reason that Trump and Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown is, of course, their determination to shutter dozens of critical government agencies, fire thousands of federal employees, and reform American democracy into an autocracy that is ruled by Dear Leader Trump. It’s a model of totalitarian takeover that Trump has borrowed from his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. It’s dangerous, and treasonous, and he must not be allowed to succeed. Because in America we have NO KINGS! Be there.
