Fox News Tells a Couple of the Most Stunningly Preposterous Lies that They Have Ever Concocted

Fox News has been disseminating right-wing propaganda for thirty years. And for thirty years they have been telling flagrant lies to advance their brazenly partisan political objectives. Originally they did it it to push conservative policies, but these days it’s mostly for the benefit of Donald Trump. And at this point, no one should expect anything resembling the truth to come from either of them.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

That said, you might think that after all that time and practice that Fox News had gotten pretty good had manufacturing falsehoods. However, it appears that they are either becoming lazy or have totally run out of ways to construct their dishonest distortions of reality. Which could explain why they resort to blathering nonsense like this…

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

On Thursday night’s episode of the Fox News version of a comedy show, Gutfeld, they invited Michele Tafoya, a former sports reporter and current Republican candidate for the Senate in Minnesota, to join their pitifully unfunny panel in a gangbang assault on California and its governor, Gavin Newsom. When it was Tafoya’s turn to fudge the facts, she really performed at a level of peak bullshittery, saying that…

“Almost 30 percent of Californians are homeless on any given night. 30 PERCENT! That is the largest margin by far.”

Needless to say, that comment is ridiculous, and worse, it’s profoundly stupid. It would mean that, given California’s population of 40 million, there would be 12 million homeless Californians, The actual number is about 187,000, or 0.47 percent of the state’s total population. So Tafoya is only off by about 6,300 percent. In fact, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there are about 771,000 homeless nationwide. For the record:

“California’s homelessness plummeted in 2025 — with the largest drop in 15 years — according to preliminary data, due to Governor Newsom’s strategies to reduce homelessness, address encampments, and create shelter and support. […] While homelessness continued to increase nationwide, California reduced its unsheltered homeless population by an estimated 9%.”

In the Era of Trump the lies promulgated by Fox News face stiff competition from Trump himself. No one is more adept at spewing ludicrous lies than the current occupier of the White House. Trump can’t help himself. Even after being called out for obvious, provable lies, he persists in retelling them. Such as his deranged assertions that he won the 2020 election that was rigged. Or his hysterical claim that his failing economy is the best in U.S. history. Or his desperate attempts to avoid accountability for his affairs with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And with regard to the latter, Fox News isn’t giving in.

On Friday’s episode of “Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary during the first Trump administration, tried to absolve Trump of guilt for his unsavory relationship with Epstein. She falsely claimed that Trump had never been on Epstein’s plane, disgustingly known as the “Lolita Express.” But documented evidence proves that he did fly with Epstein multiple times.

What remains a mystery is how anyone can believe anything that either Trump or Fox News says. They have both been proven to be shameless, pathological liars. And the only explanation for why anyone would still trust them after all the times they have been exposed, is that IT’S A CULT! And the disciples are never going to question Dear Leader or his Ministry of Propaganda.

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

Every public appearance by Donald Trump is an opportunity for him to disseminate another bunch of flagrant falsehoods that are designed to manufacture a fantasy world wherein he is not merely a strong leader, but the savior of all mankind. He desperately yearns to be perceived as the infallible and divinely anointed Messiah of MAGA.

Consequently, the annual State of Union address is a profoundly significant event that has the potential to make or break a president, depending on how they perform, and how the public perceives it. In Trump’s case it is another chance to deceive America with ludicrous claims of fictitious accomplishments, rancid insults aimed at his many perceived political enemies, tiresome repetitions of imagined offenses, and egomaniacal exaltations of his delusional magnificence.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is feverishly working to promote Dear Leader prior to his big day before Congress and the nation. And who better than Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to spearhead the effort to pump up Trump. So on her morning program on Monday she unloaded this bit of buffoonery…

“It’s incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump’s success – he’s been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast – that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union. Adam Schiff, Mr. Russia Collusion himself, said he’s not gonna show up to the State of the Union tomorrow night.”

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:15:45.524Z

Bartiromo is right. Trump has been incredibly successful. At exacerbating inflation; at raising the cost of living for everyone but the rich; at causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket; at terrorizing law-abiding residents of Democratic run cities; at decimating regulations that mitigate the harm of Climate Change; at blowing up boats with potentially innocent fisherman in the Caribbean; at alienating America’s international allies, while embracing authoritarian foes; at undermining the First Amendment and suppressing the free press; and at destroying the Republican Party and any hopes they had of maintaining their majorities in Congress.

What’s more, Bartiromo is demonstrating that she is just as out of touch with the American people as Trump is. She appears to be utterly unaware that Trump’s standing among voters is historically low. On Monday morning CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten, observed that Trump is floundering in deeply negative territory.

“Trump’s net approval rating, look at all the pre-SOTU polls…negative 27 points…Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018, in term one going into those State of the Unions…way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according to our CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. [And] Trump isn’t just weaker than he’s ever been going into a State of the Union address, he’s weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that — negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 — minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:35:59.999Z

Bartiromo is obviously taking her cues from Trump himself. He is fervently gaslighting the nation, telling reporters on Monday that “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” But with nonsense like that he’s just reminding voters, who know better, that he is woefully out of touch with their lives. Democrats are likely to be hoping that he keeps telling these lies, because he’s really helping their electoral prospects in November.

As for the State of the Union, there is a respite for those who don’t want to be tortured by another hour or two of Trump spitting lies and rage-whining. As Bartiromo was kind enough to point out, MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting a People’s State of the Union. And Kid Rock is guaranteed not to be there.

For those Boycotting the State of the Union, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are hosting the People’s State of the Union. Let’s unite at this live event for an uplifting and powerful purpose. ???

CNN Trump-Fluffer, Scott Jennings, Brags that He Gets Paid a Lot to Spew Lies and Propaganda

There is a lot wrong with the mainstream media in America today. It is dominated by multi-national conglomerates that are run by right-wing billionaires who are beholden to Donald Trump and other conservative politicians, and to their own obsessive greed.

General Donald Trump on CNN

News enterprises that have endured many decades of political pressure are caving in to the threats of retribution for refusing to slant their reporting in favor of the powerful autocrats occupying the White House. For instance, the Washington Post has taken a decidedly more positive approach to Trump, and even paid $40 million for the rights to the flopping “Melania” crockumentary. ABC News paid millions of dollars to Trump as a settlement (aka bribe) for a meritless lawsuit. CBS News has been censoring their stories, their reporters, and even their late night comedians.

SEE THIS: NICE WORK CBS! Banning the Steven Colbert Interview with James Talarico, Got Them Way More Views

The granddaddy of cable news networks, CNN, apparently doesn’t want to be left out. Which might explain why they keep someone like Scott Jennings on the payroll. Jennings appears on CNN panel shows to add his knee-jerk adulation of all things Trump. His contributions consist mainly of disseminating lies, insulting his colleagues on the panel, interrupting everybody, including the host, Abby Phillip, and exalting Dear Leader Trump.

Jennings was demonstrating all of that on Friday during a discussion of the Supreme Court decision striking down Trump’s idiotic, inflationary, and illegal tariffs. During an exchange with liberal pundit, Keith Boykin, Jennings revealed precisely where his loyalties lie. And Boykin wasn’t having it…

Keith Boykin: That was a very charitable explanation of what took place today, Scott. You should be paid a lot of money from the Trump administration for helping to…
Jennings: No, I get paid a lot of money here.
Boykin: I know you do. And other places too. But you should be paid by the Trump administration for what you said because the reality is that the president didn’t just accept the ruling like you said he did.”
Jennings: Yes, he did.
Boykin: No. He got up there in the press conference today, and he attacked the U.S. Supreme Court justices. He said that they should be embarrassed for their families for making a decision that stood up to him. He attacked them and said they were disloyal and unpatriotic. He said they were disloyal to the Constitution. That’s more than disagreement. That’s irresponsible rhetoric.

WATCH — @keithboykin.bsky.social : “That was a very charitable explanation. Trump should be paying you a lot of money.”SMUG SCOTT JENNINGS: “I get paid a lot of money here.”@cnn.com how proud y’all must be (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

The Tennessee Holler (@thetnholler.bsky.social) 2026-02-21T03:30:43.873Z

Boykin was right about Trump’s hostile response to the ruling. Trump not only did not accept the Court’s decision, he explicitly rejected it, insisting that he would try to evade the law by imposing his tariffs anyway via other unscrupulous means. And in the meantime, he went ballistic on the members of the Court, including his own appointees, who had the audacity to rule against him.

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

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-21T10:56:44.065Z

Boykin was also right about who ought to be paying Jennings’ salary. Jennings is a shameless mouthpiece for Trump and his regime. No matter what atrocity Trump might be responsible for, Jennings defends him. That includes Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his refusal to release all of the Epstein files.

Who knows? Maybe Trump is already compensating Jennings under the table for his adulatory advocacy. Maybe he’s getting some bitcoin deposits that are untraceable. Jennings has been considering a run for the Senate in Kentucky, and perhaps Trump has expressed his interest in endorsing him.

In any case, CNN has no business providing Jennings with a platform for his propaganda. That’s what Fox News is for. There are plenty of conservative pundits who are not such pitifully worshipful adherents to the cult of Trump, and who could deliver far more rational perspectives of the conservative point of view than the childish insults and attacks that Jennings specializes in.

CNN should fire Jennings immediately. Not for his political views. but for his hostility, his lies, his disrespect for the host and all other women on the program, and his smug admission that he’s only in it for the money. CNN doesn’t need any of that, And neither does their audience. What’s left of it.

Disgraced CBS News Is Intent On Keeping a Known Jeffrey Epstein Associate On Its News Team

One of the core missions of Donald Trump in his second occupation of the White House has been the total subjugation of the free press. He has assaulted it with retributive prosecutions, meritless lawsuits, and always infantile insults aimed at honest journalists (mostly women) who had the audacity to report the truth about him.

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

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

Sadly, Trump has had some success in that brazenly fascist undertaking due to the cowardice and/or complicity of some the big media conglomerates who feared Trump’s retribution or who were feebly seeking favor from the corrupt and self-serving Trump regime. Their subservience has been evident in their groveling concessions to settle ludicrous legal disputes by paying millions of dollars in phony damages – aka bribes. And none has more obviously knelt down to Herr Trump than the toadies at Paramount.

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

Now CBS has embarked on a new and more insidious scandal involving a sleazy “doctor,” Peter Attia, with known ties to child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that he admits. CBS is owned by Paramount, which in turn is owned by Trump’s buddy and fellow billionaire, Larry Ellison. His corporate monolith is now seeking, via a hostile stock bid, to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, which owns, among other things, CNN. Trump has already given his blessing to that proposed merger, despite the fact that Warner has accepted an offer from Netflix. Perhaps that’s because Ellison promised to make changes that Trump wants.

Shortly after Ellison merged his company with Skydance Media, owned by his son, David, they installed the notoriously right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run CBS News, even though she had zero experience or qualifications to assume that position. Her brief tenure has already seen her make some abhorrent decisions, including censoring CBS’ 60 Minutes by nixing a segment on the El Salvador torture camp that Trump has been sending migrants to.

A few weeks ago Weiss announced that she was going to hire a bunch of MAGA-tized cronies from her Internet website to join CBS News. Among them was the disreputable “doctor” Attia. But that announcement was quickly marred by a revelation that ought to have doomed his appointment. According to The Guardian

“Two weeks after a trove of files revealed extensive – and inappropriate – communications between Jeffrey Epstein and a recently named CBS News contributor, the longevity expert Peter Attia, the network appears to have settled on keeping him. […] Attia is one of the 19 on-air contributors that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said she was ‘so excited’ to announce.” […]

“[O]n 30 January, the justice department’s release of millions of documents showed that Attia had expressed a fondness for Epstein and used extremely graphic language in at least one email to him. That Attia had met with Epstein was previously known before CBS News hired him.”

Attia’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 1,800 times. His emails to Epstein express his unsettling affection for him, as well as his creepy concern that he “can’t tell a soul” about their unsavory friendship. He also recalls that he felt “spoiled after staying in your great place.” And yet, Attia defended the relationship saying that “I was not involved in any criminal activity.” Nevertheless, he went on to say that “I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public.”

Notice that Attia is defending what he just called indefensible. And it appears that the only problem he has with any of it is that it became public. How Weiss and the Ellisons can continue to justify the hiring of this slimeball is incomprehensible. But it is consistent with the immorality that is the hallmark of the Era of Trump and the aversion to ethics that Trump represents and for which he is the role model of indecency. So Attia will fit right in.

UPDATE: Attia has quietly resigned from CBS News following the pressure from a broad array of bipartisan critics. Keep up the pressure on the MAGA media and all things Trump. IT WORKS!

UPDATE: Trump Hasn’t Updated His Much Ballyhooed White House Media Bias Web Page in Months

Nothing has been a bigger priority for Donald Trump during his occupation of the White House than denigrating the free press and taking aggressive actions to suppress it. He relentlessly insults any journalist with the courage to report the truth about him (especially women), and he works tirelessly to promote the Trump-fluffing media that adoringly exalts him no matter how humiliating or dangerous his actions are.

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

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

Late last year Trump directed his White House Internet team to create and post a web page that he said would expose the bias in the media. Of course, in Trump’s mind that meant only what he considered to be bias. Consequently, Trump’s media bias web page focused solely on news organizations that accurately documented his words and deeds, which invariably reflected negatively on him.

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

At the time that Trump’s media bias page was launched, it featured as it’s first target an article about the six members of Congress who appeared in a video wherein they reminded those in the military of their sworn duty to not comply with illegal orders. That resulted in the Trump regime seeking to prosecute them for sedition, with Trump saying that their alleged crime was “punishable by death.”

Trump’s efforts to assassinate sitting members of Congress for advocating following the law were recently foiled by a grand jury that rejected the attempt to indict them. But that has not deterred the Trump regime from it’s campaign to revoke the First Amendment. Now they are going after independent journalist, Don Lemon.

Meanwhile, Trump’s media bias web page moved on from the “illegal orders” story to one wherein they caught a gaffe by CNN’s Jake Tapper. He prematurely reported on December 4th that a suspect in the Washington, D.C. pipe bomb case was White. When more details became available, Tapper corrected the story. However, the White House media bias web page has not been updated since then.

So Trump’s media bias web page has been dormant for over two months. Never mind the fanfare with which they announced it. It now appears to have been abandoned. Which is typical of the Trump regime’s notoriety for incompetence. The web site seems to share with Trump a profoundly short attention span.

No American president has had as hostile an attitude toward the media as Trump. He routinely refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He displays his rancid animus toward honest journalism in his knee-jerk and meritless lawsuits and his infantile insults. His vicious attacks on reporters as “creeps,” “stupid,” and “ugly,” are the price paid for daring to report honestly. The problem is that it’s also the sign of an emerging autocracy.

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

The good news is that Trump will soon forget all about whatever imagined offense he is fixated on at any given time as soon as some other shiny object is waved in front of his face. And while that may be good news for the victims of his demented anger, that sort of dementia is a frighteningly horrible trait in a national leader.

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Twitter

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BLLSHT: Fox News Host Accuses Hakeem Jeffries of Calling for Kristi Noem to Be ‘Taken Out’

The past two weeks has seen some of the most gruesome conduct perpetrated by the United States government in modern times. Donald Trump is presiding over a criminal enterprise that has invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and murdered American citizens in the streets of their home towns.

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

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Many of the MAGA Republicans who bother to discuss these affairs at all, end up trying to blame both sides while calling for the harsh rhetoric to be toned down. Never mind that most of that explosive diarhetoric is coming from the right, and worse, their actions exceed their words. In fact, in the war of words Trump is seeking to muzzle his opponents.

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

On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, the host of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, was in the midst of a segment wherein they were defending the barbaric tactics employed by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The conversation led to a comment by the House Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to which Faulkner and her comrades took offense. She complained that…

“Hakeem Jeffries says ‘Kristi Noem needs to be on ICE.’ Now I know that’s ineloquent and unfortunate. It’s also just horrible timing. Because we know that means ‘take somebody out.'”

Harris Faulkner: "Hakeem Jeffries says 'Kristi Noem should be on ICE.' I know that's ineloquent and unfortunate. It's also just horrible timing, because we know that means 'take somebody out.'"

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-29T17:22:59.048Z

So Faulkner is reprising the rhetoric argument to criticize what Jeffries said. But she is pitifully misrepresenting the comment in order stir up more hatred and division.

First of all, Jeffries was obviously connecting his criticism of Trump’s desperately unqualified Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, to the horrific record of ICE with a linguistic association to actual ice. Faulkner knows this, but chooses to inflame the situation unnecessarily.

Furthermore, Faulkner is deliberately distorting the meaning of the colloquial phrase to put someone “on ice.” It does not mean to “take somebody out,” or kill them. It means to “put on hold, or to pause, to allow to cool down.” Which is precisely what Jeffries meant, and even what Faulkner claims to be advocating.

This is similar to the right-wing freak out that occurred last year when James Comey posted an image online of some seashells that spelled out “8647.” The MAGA-tists all babbled about it being an assassination threat. But the phrase is just a term that means “to refuse service, or to kick out of a public establishment.”

MORE HERE: Trump and Fox News Crybabies are Blowing Up a Phony Controversy Over James Comey’s 86 47 Meme

Nobody should be surprised at the rank hypocrisy of Fox News, Trump, and others on the right who have been pretending to care about the heated rhetoric. They have been maligning Democrats as traitors for years. And since the penalty for treason is execution, they have been, in effect, calling for them to be killed. Trump did so explicitly when he demanded that several members of Congress be put to death for simply reminding those in the military of their duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.

All of this only provides further proof that the right is obsessed with killing Democrats and anyone who does not worship Herr Trump. And it’s why they still support how ICE has been killing protesters and brutalizing immigrants. For the rabid right, the celebration of death goes way beyond just words.

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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.

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.

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."

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.

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.
