Fox News Says ‘People Don’t Really Feel Bad’ About the High Cost of Living Caused By Trump

Posted by on December 13, 2025 at 12:15 pm. 1 Comments :

The debate over the state of the economy rages on. The problem is that it is a totally one-sided debate wherein Democrats are standing up for the welfare of the American people, and Republicans – at the behest of Donald Trump – are flagrantly lying. It’s bad enough that Republicans are being so fiercely dishonest. But it’s even worse that, with all the practice they get, they are still so bad at it.

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump

The worst possible strategy for deceiving mass groups of people is to tell them something that they know from their own experience is false. Yet that is precisely what Trump and his GOP confederates are doing. Trump thinks he can convince the American people that they are not paying more for almost everything since his reoccupation of the White House. But that isn’t working for him. Trump is hitting the lows in polling on virtually every issue, and particularly the economy. In fact, even 37% of Trump’s own MAGA voters disapprove of the economy, and worse, they say that Trump is to blame.

SEE THIS: POOR BABY: Trump Whines that Polls Don’t Give Him Credit for ‘the Greatness of America’

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is backing Trump up with some of the most pathetically unconvincing arguments imaginable. And leading the charge is Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo. She was on the program of Trump’s shadow chief of staff, Sean Hannity, on Friday night (video below) where she obediently disseminated the MAGA talking points that the economy is fantastic. and if it isn’t, it’s President Biden’s fault.

“People are frustrated with housing and the price of homes. People are frustrated with certain food items. But there are a number of things that President Trump has already been incredibly successful doing. So when he says this affordability issue is a hoax, he’s right! He’s basically talking about how the Democrats have taken this word ‘affordability’ and used it as their calling card for the 2026 elections.”

First of all, the only things that Trump “has been incredibly successful doing” is imposing inflationary tariffs, demolishing parts of the White House, deporting innocent migrants, and murdering fishermen in the Caribbean. His achievements with regard to the economy are nonexistent. And his spin on “affordability” is a bizarre mix of denial, blame-shifting, and taking undeserved credit. But Bartiromo was just getting started. In an attempt to explain away why Republicans are suffering in recent elections and public opinion polling, She continued…

“They think these Democrat wins that we just saw in Miami, in New York City, in other places like New Jersey, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Democrats won those races. These are all blue states and cities. So, it’s no surprise there.”

For the record, The Democrat who just won the mayoral race in Miami is the first Democrat to win there in 28 years. Also, five of the last ten governors of New Jersey were Republicans. Also, the Democrat who won the governorship in Virginia is succeeding a Republican. So these are not what an honest person would call “blue” cities and states. But Bartiromo was still not done…

“What is a surprise is that after all of these years, the Republicans keep getting rolled over by the Democrats’ messaging. I gotta tell you, I don’t think the people really feel as bad as the Democrats are talking about. The economy is doing well. There is $18 trillion of new investment that has come into this country.”

And there it is. Bartiromo is telling people that they are not feeling what they are feeling. That’s a fool’s game. She’s parroting her Dear Leader Trump who has been trying to persuade people that they are all prosperous and elated with what he is doing. Except that they have to limit the number of pencils they can buy, as well as the number of dolls for their children. And even Bartiromo admitted above that housing and grocery prices are unbearably burdesome.

Bartiromo also mentions the blatant lie that Trump has brought in $18 trillion via his ludicrous tariff (aka taxes) scheme. Even his own White House web page tracking his alleged receipts says it’s only half of that – $9.6 Trillion – which is a combined figure of both domestic and foreign items. And even that is grossly inflated and made up of uncertified pledges and unenforceable handshakes. Furthermore, what has been collected in tariffs is paid by American companies that import foreign goods, and then pass the cost on to American consumers.

That is what forms the basis of the Fox News conclusion that the economy is booming and, if people feel bad about it, they’re suffering from some sort of derangement. However, if Fox News and Trump and the GOP want to pursue this theme for their midterm election campaigns next year, they will surely have the approval of the Democrats running against them. So buckle up, America. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

Sean Hannity of Fox News Makes a Darn Good Case Against Trump and His Racist White Nationalism

Posted by on December 9, 2025 at 1:29 pm. 0 Comments :

It was just a matter of time. Donald Trump has been expressing his virulent brand of bigotry for decades. His blatant prejudice is one of the most compelling factors for his popularity among his MAGA disciples who share his inbred hatred for people of color and non-European immigrants. So no one should be surprised that his media mouthpieces are parroting his reprehensible rhetoric.

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

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump has long disparaged immigrants who come from what he calls “shithole” countries. And this week he has made a point of maligning American citizens who migrated from Somali, calling them all criminals and pledging to have them them thrown out of the country. In fact, he says he is terminating all immigration from third world countries and reviewing the status of those currently in the U.S.

SEE THIS: Does Trump’s Racist Pledge to Deport Naturalized American Citizens Include Melania?

On Monday’s episode of his radio program, Sean Hannity of Fox News weighed in on this subject. Although he intended to praise Dear Leader Trump, the actual content of his monologue was ironically critical. Hannity began by saying that…

“I’m not going to get in the gutter with some people and what they’re saying. The left is insane enough. But when I hear and listen to some people that claim to be MAGA and Trump supporters and the things that they utter are so insane.”

Well then. That’s actually a pretty rational assessment of the MAGA community. You have to wonder what took Hannity so long to notice it. However, as he continued he seemed to lose the plot. In a series of comments intended to exalt Trump, Hannity actually provided opportunities to expose the vile racism that has been such a prominent part of his character, or lack thereof. What follows are Hannity’s observations with relevant annotations.

“If you hear somebody that’s racist, that’s probably a good indication that they’re not worth your time.”
In Trump’s mind if you are a Black critic of Trump you are automatically a low IQ racist. That includes Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc.

“If somebody’s a white nationalist, they’re probably not worth your time.”
Remember Trump’s support for “the very fine people on both sides” of the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville?

“If they praise Adolf Hitler, they’re probably not somebody that’s worth your time.”
Trump famously kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside, and he told members of his White House staff that “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

“If they have a virulent anti-Semitic hatred, they’re probably not worth listening to.”
During the New York City mayoral race, Trump whined that “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani…is a stupid person!!!”

Hannity went on to complain about the MAGA minions who “have bizarre conspiracy theories” or are just “pure character assassins.” That doesn’t narrow it down very much. It’s pretty much all of them. And that’s particularly true with regard to his MAGA-sty himself, Donald Trump.

However, while Hannity appears to be on the verge of actually getting it, don’t expect too much of him. He’s a fully indoctrinated MAGA-tist and isn’t likely to see the light. He doesn’t even know that he’s shining the light on Trump’s racism. Or, for that matter, his own.

A CALL TO ACTION: Trump White House Launches a ‘Media Bias Offender Tipline’ – Let’s Use It

Posted by on December 3, 2025 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The battle against biased media is a continuing and exhausting ordeal during the administration of Donald Trump, who frequently refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” No American president has been more hostile toward the media, or more hospitable toward sycophantic toadies than, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

Last week Trump’s White House website debuted a “Media Bias” page, claiming that it would be keeping track of what Trump regards as “false, misleading, or biased” news reports. Of course, what Trump regards as “biased” is actually anything that is less than effusively flattering. As a result, the page consists solely of the very same media outlets that Trump regularly bashes as “fake news” simply because they dare to report honestly about Trump warts and…well, more warts.

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

This week Trump is expanding on his anti-free-press theme with the addition of a brand new “Media Bias Offender Tipline.” It was announced with a “A CALL TO ACTION” and an opportunity to “Submit ‘Media Bias’ Tips” online.

The announcement describes the mission of the page as “to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media,” and asserts that “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable.” Elaborating, the page says that…

“So-called ‘journalists’ have made it impossible to identify every false or misleading story, which is why help from the American people is essential. The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over.”

Notice that the only alleged lies that the page is supposedly combatting are from the “outright left-wing lunacy.” And there is no mention of the fact that it’s Trump’s rampant dishonesty that makes identifying all of the false stories impossible. Even worse, Trump is declaring that the days of “willful bias are over,” as he cheers for the government to assume the role of “controlling the narrative with lies.” Which, to be fair, is something that Trump’s regime has proven to be pretty good at.

Trump’s Media Bias Tipline page provides a short form for his MAGA cult disciples to report any left-wing lunacy that they come across so that they can “HELP EXPOSE THE WORST OF THE WORST” And it warns, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies. Fill out the form below.”

Well, that seems like pretty good advice. Perhaps we should all bookmark that form and use it to report all of the media bias that we encounter. (Feel free to use a fake email address to avoid getting spammed — or surveilled). There is plenty of it from outlets like Newsmax and One America News, and far too often from the corporate media networks as well. Of course, there’s also Fox News, which is the only “news” enterprise that has paid out 3/4 of a billion dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit for having repeatedly lied on Trump’s behalf.

So you all know what to do. And as Trump’s page says, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies.”

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-11-30T19:38:16.480Z

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.

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

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?”

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.”

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.

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.
