Crybaby Trump Whines that Fox News Hosted Bill Maher, Who Trump Has Hosted at the White House

Posted by on May 3, 2026 at 1:52 pm. 0 Comments :

Determined to preserve his crown as the “Most Fabulous Whiner” (his own words) to have ever occupied the White House, Donald Trump just lashed out at his own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for having the audacity to interview alleged comedian Bill Maher.

Donald Trump, Wah

The comment posted to his desperately failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, was a tediously long tirade that traversed a vast array of unrelated subjects. Trump likes to frame these incoherent rants positively as what he calls “weaving.” Which is also what they call what drunk drivers do on the highway. But Trump’s inability to focus is more representative of serious mental impairment. Which partially explains why the American people are so sick and tired of his demented antics.

SEE THIS: FLYING KETCHUP ALERT: Trump is Polling Worse than Both Biden and Carter on Inflation

The comment that Trump posted Saturday night (see below) was a typical display of the seething rage that is eating him up. It’s impossible to make any sense out of most of it, but there are a few passages that should be recognized as warnings of the psychological collapse that is already in progress. He began by saying that…

“I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher ‘relevant’ as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond. Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House.”

That’s right. Trump is outraged that Fox News would dare to invite Maher onto their network, even though it was okay for Trump to invite him to the White House. Trump also claims to have gotten to know Maher “very well” over a single dinner. And Trump found that Maher is “a weak and ineffective person,” and therefore requires elaborate, lengthy, and irrational rebuttals.

Never mind that Maher actually praised Trump following their dinner. He claimed to like Trump and described him as “gracious.” But any show of respect or submission to Trump is quickly forgotten if it isn’t constantly repeated and without any hint of criticism.

True to form, Trump is now lambasting Maher in terms that fail to be comprehensible. For instance, Trump said that Maher’s request for a drink upon entering the White House was both “very endearing” and “absolutely pathetic.” But then Trump switched gears to complain about Maher’s interview of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Trump is viscerally afraid of Newsom and frequently maligns him in the childish manner that only Trump can muster. He said that…

“I happened to watch Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person, who said he can’t read a speech, is dumb, and essentially, incompetent. […] Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it’s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it’s ever had.”

Of course, none of Trump’s complaints ever approached reality. Trump’s despicable and false reference to Newsom’s “admittedly Low IQ” was actually spun from Newsom’s honest and relatable revelations about his his youthful issues with dyslexia, not IQ. As for California, it is the most profitable state in the nation. It contributed about 14.5% of the total U.S. GDP in 2025. In fact, during Newsom’s governorship it has become the fourth biggest economy in the world, following the United States, China, and Germany.

Nevertheless, Trump paraded his usual litany of lies, accusing Newsom of failing with regard to homelessness, transportation, and wildfires in Los Angeles, that Trump has said he would have extinguished by turning on a giant imaginary faucet in Northern California. He really believes that water flows “downhill” from north to south.

Trump closed by blasting Fox as “weak, stupid, and ineffective” for interviewing Maher, who he also said is “slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel.” That’s actually a cheap, backhanded slap at Kimmel, who Trump is obsessed with, and is determined to banish from the airwaves. It will never stop being disconcerting that Trump unleashes harsher rhetoric against Kimmel and other comedians than he does against Iran, Russia, or international terrorists.

Trump posted a long tirade attacking Bill Maher and Gavin Newsom. It's a steaming pile of lies and hate. Don't bother reading it unless you have a strong stomach.But just look at it and be dumbfounded at how we got to a place where someone this deranged holds a position of power.

Trump Withdraws Unqualified Surgeon General Nominee, Replaces Her with a Fox News Hack

Posted by on April 30, 2026 at 12:30 pm. 0 Comments :

The parade of sycophantic incompetents that Donald Trump has tapped for his second occupation of the White House continues to march in lock step with Dear Leader’s “vision” of an authoritarian cult. There has never been an administration so jam-packed with unquestioning devotees who blindly follow their master’s decrees.

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

Fox News, Vaccine

The latest example of this mind-hive behavior comes with Trump’s unstable maneuvering to fill the post of Surgeon General. Nearly one year ago Trump nominated Casey Means for the position. She was uniquely unqualified. She didn’t even have an active medical license. And this was Trump’s nominee to replace his first choice, Janette Nesheiwat, who was equally unqualified. So naturally, now that Trump is ditching Means, he is turning to his favorite job recruiting site, Fox News…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Nominees Are Largely Fox News Alum, Mar-a-Lago Patrons, and Billionaires

Trump’s third attempt at the Surgeon General’s post is Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor whose nomination is typically swimming in controversy. He announced his new nominee on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, by first assailing Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy – a medical doctor – and threatening his Senate seat…

“For months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose ‘TRUMP’ Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach ‘President Trump’ on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General.”

Oh, so now Means was Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, RFK, Jr.’s nominee? To be fair, Trump did admit that he didn’t know Means when he nominated her and was relying on RFK, Jr.’s recommendation. Trump followed up that comment with one that provided some background on Saphier. Although he failed to even mention her association with Fox News. Trump babbled that…

“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier to be the next SURGEON GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. […] She is also an INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATOR, who makes complicated health issues more easily understood by all Americans.”

Trump then followed up on that comment with another swipe at Cassidy, hoping that he will be voted out of office in the upcoming Republican primary. Trump endorsed MAGA GOP Rep. Julia Letlow in that race.

As for Saphier, she is not exactly a renowned medical professional. To the contrary, she often made bizaarre and defamatory comments in her appearances on Fox News. For instance, in a segment discussing the release of a special counsel report that exonerated President Biden of any alleged wrongdoings, Saphier, who is a radiologist with no credentials in psychology or politics, made an irresponsible remote diagnosis falsely asserting that Biden, because he criticized Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, “is having some sort of cognitive decline.”

So in Saphier’s mind, criticizing Fox News correspondents is proof of mental impairment. And that’s the quality of advice that America can expect from Saphier if she is confirmed as Surgeon General. Which makes her the perfect subordinate of RFK, Jr., whose science-denying, anti-vaccine, deranged behavior includes collecting road kill to examining their genitals.

This also means that the health of the American people is going to be at great risk if they are foolish enough to rely on any of Trump’s appointees. After, he isn’t exactly a pillar of mental health…

WTF? Trump’s FCC Expected to OK Paramount’s Takeover of CNN with BILLIONS of Middle East Dollars

Posted by on April 28, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 2 Comments :

The state of the media business has declined precipitously during the second occupation of the White House by Donald Trump. Either they have capitulated to his threats, lied to “sanewash” his incoherent babbling, soft-pedaled his autocratic policies, or just failed to demonstrate the courage that is expected from practitioners of a free press.

General Donald Trump on CNN

In short, the performance of much of the media amounts to simply cowardice. While there are some notable exceptions, the craven spinelessness, greed, and biases of most of the biggest media conglomerates is more than a little disturbing. And their sheepish surrender to Trump’s crybaby bullying encourages his worst totalitarian tendencies. Such as…

SEE THIS: Trump at the ‘Justice’ Department: CNN, MSNBC, and Other Media are Illegal and ‘It Has to Stop’

Trump has been carefully studying the anti-democratic tactics of his tyrannical idols Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Viktor Orbán. And the results are evident in recent interactions between the government agencies he presides over and his MAGA media pals.

For instance, Larry and David Ellison, the Trump-fluffing moguls who own Paramount Skydance, are now seeking to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. They have already gotten some preliminary approvals from Trump, his Justice Department, and his Federal Trade Commission. And now they are seeking to get a green light from the Federal Communications Commission. As reported by the Hollywood Reporter…

“Paramount has asked the Federal Communications Commission to sign off on its equity investment from three prominent Middle East sovereign wealth funds that are backing the company’s $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.”

Paramount is making a direct appeal to Trump flunky Brendan Carr, his FCC chair, to approve the deal for the merger, including $24 billion from “Saudi Arabia’s PIF (public investment fund), L’Imad, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, and a Qatar Investment Authority fund.” And while they say that “the sovereign funds are only acquiring non-voting equity shares,” it would still be an unprecedented arrangement wherein these foreign investors would own 49.5% of the company.

Paramount says that “the Ellison family and RedBird will…be the sole owners of Class A Common Stock, representing 100% of the voting shares.” And they think that makes things better? It actually means that these politically biased billionaire pals of Trump will be the overlords of two prominent news networks, CBS and CNN, along with all of the other assets of the combined media empire.

There are legal obstacles to foreign individuals, businesses, or governments owning U.S. media companies. The law cites national security, propaganda or political influence, and media concentration, as issues impacting approval. Under normal circumstances it would be particularly concerning for Middle Eastern entities to own such large percentages of American media.

The potential for exploiting the platforms (both news and entertainment) is obvious and worrisome. Even limited to non-voting shares, they would have significant leverage by simply threatening to sell shares, maneuvering their own competing platforms, or bailing out entirely.

Anyone who thinks that investors who own nearly half of the company wouldn’t be able to influence the company’s decisions is terminally naïve. And if those investors also happen to be tight with the U.S. administration, it just makes the potential for risk even greater.

There is literally no limit to the nefarious financial and national security mischief that they could engage in. And Trump’s Justice Department and other oversight agencies would be useless. Trump has already cleansed them of any ethical operatives. His administration, and Trump himself, would be no deterrent at all. In fact, the record shows that he would be an accomplice.

WHAT 1ST AMENDMENT? Melania and Donald Trump Demand that Jimmy Kimmel Be Taken Off the Air

Posted by on April 27, 2026 at 1:21 pm. 1 Comments :

In the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, Donald Trump has been parading around the media making the case that he’s a brave hero who survived an attempt by Democrats to terminate his presidency. It’s just more of the myth making bullpucky that Trump is so well known for disseminating.

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

Donald Trump Baby and Melania Trump

Consistent with Trump’s enduring fixation on demonizing his political opponents and the free press, Trump’s insignificant other, Melania, made a rare public statement that advances his determination to muzzle the media, particularly when it engages in accurate and honest criticism of him. On this occasion, Melania sought to respond to a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel last week.

SEE THIS: Jimmy Kimmel Hosts the ALTERNATIVE White House Correspondents’ Dinner Featuring Snowflake Trump

Outraged by Kimmel’s audacity to deliver a comedy monologue, Melania posted a comment on X/Twitter to express her dismay over a single line that referred to her and her charade of a marriage to Donald, the serial adulterer. What Kimmel said was that she had a “glow like an expectant widow.” In her hyperbolic overreaction Melania raged that…

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.

“Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Melania has some massive testicular fortitude to complain about Kimmel’s allegedly “hateful and violent rhetoric”? Has she ever met her hateful HINO (Husband In Name Only)? And yet she brazenly calls for what amounts to the abolishment of the Constitution’s First Amendment, saying that “Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening.” She then demands that ABC “take a stand [against] Kimmel’s atrocious behavior.”

This is just another attempt by the Trump regime to ban Kimmel from broadcasting, which they tried and failed to do last year. Disappointed by his failure, Trump whined that “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

Following Melania’s tweet, Trump chimed in with one of his own. It was a tediously long and incoherent comment that affirmed Melania’s anti-free press sentiments babbling about “Kimmel’s despicable call to violence,” and demanding that “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Of course, nothing in Kimmel’s jokes advocated anything approaching violence. Melania’s widow glow could be the result of Trump’s advanced age, poor health, and fast food diet. To the contrary, it is Trump who has been relentlessly “corrosive” and “despicable” and that promoted “political sickness.” In a 60 Minutes special segment Sunday night, Trump told Norah O’Donnell that “I do think the hate speech of the Democrats is very dangerous, much more so.” That was right after he called O’Donnell “a horrible person” and a “disgrace.” Never mind that a report by his own Justice Department found that it is right-wingers who have been responsible for most political violence.

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

Trump’s DoJ later tried (but failed) to disappear that report. In the meantime, Trump has literally called for the death of sitting members of Congress. He celebrated the death of lifelong public servant and decorated veteran, Robert Mueller. And he has maligned Democrats and the press as “treasonous,” “lunatics,” “vermin,” and “the enemy of the people.” So any complaints that he – or Melania – have now about divisive rhetoric are – to put it in technical terms – BULLSHIT!

DISGUSTING: Trump Uses White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting to Justify His Vanity Ballroom

Posted by on April 26, 2026 at 12:52 pm. 0 Comments :

On Saturday night there was yet another incidence of gun violence in America. This time it took place at a the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) in Washington, D.C. where Donald Trump was attending for the first time as president. And unlike previous shootings at elementary schools or churches, Republicans are actually making demands that “something” be done about it.

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

Trump Penthouse Phone

Less than an hour after the shooting, Trump was back at the White House giving reporters a carelessly premature account of what happened, complete with praise for himself mixed in with some for law enforcement. But most bizarre was his segue to justifying his vanity ballroom as a solution to the sort of shooting that occurred at the WHCD. It’s just the latest sales pitch for the architectural monstrosity that he is building. Earlier this year he made an impassioned (and deranged) plea for the pointless structure.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Utterly INSANE, Lie-Riddled Rant to Justify His $400 Million Vanity Ballroom

In Trump’s post-shooting press conference he thought it was relevant to mention his ballroom project, asserting that it was necessary just for situations like this and falsely claiming that the Secret Service, the military, and unspecified others have been demanding it for 250 years.

Never mind that there is no way that the ballroom would have prevented this shooting. But that didn’t stop the White House from reportedly coordinating a social media campaign to advocate for the ballroom within minutes of the shooting. However, a private journalism organization could not have held their event on White House grounds. Although he is hosting a UFC fight there later this year, so you never know how low he will go.

Trump followed up his televised ballroom pitch the next morning with a comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE. This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House.” […]

“The ridiculous Ballroom lawsuit, brought by a woman walking her dog, who has absolutely No Standing to bring such a suit, must be dropped, immediately.”

Contrary to Trump’s ludicrous lie that the lawsuit challenging the ballroom was brought “by a woman walking her dog,” it was, in fact, brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, who argued that the administration failed to conduct mandatory reviews and get congressional approval for the $400 million dollar project. A federal judge agreed and temporarily halted the project pending compliance with the required legal processes. The judge also affirmed that the plaintiff had legal standing.

As for the alleged “dog walker” in Trump’s vivid imagination, it is likely Alison K. Hoagland, an architectural historian who submitted a declaration about the damage the proposed ballroom would cause to the White House, the neighborhood, and the social and cultural ambience of the city. But she is not the plaintiff. Also, she doesn’t have a dog.

While it is way too soon to speculate about the motives and details of the shooting, it’s hard not to wonder why this happened now, to a historically unpopular president who desperately needs a PR boost, at an event that he hated and would love to have sabotaged. The shooting provides a convenient benefit for Trump who appears to valiantly survive an assassination attempt, and the WHCD, where he has felt humiliated by comedians in the past, is cancelled. And you know that Trump wouldn’t want to sit through the awards to journalists who reported on his failures that were to be given out at the Dinner.

Trump said that the Dinner would be rescheduled in 30 days. But with Trump, such promises almost never come to pass. The War against Iran was supposed to be over in less than 30 days, but now it’s been nearly twice that. And we’ve still never seen his healthcare plan, his taxes, or the rest of the Epstein files. So don’t hold your breath, America. In the meantime, ponder this…

Trump Reveals that He is a Bipartisan Racist in a Pair of Disgusting Truth Social Posts

Posted by on April 25, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

The flaming bigotry of Donald Trump is not exactly a breaking news story. He has displayed his racial hatred for decades in a virtually prideful manner, and shamelessly exploits it to secure the support of the small but obnoxiously loud community of American bigots.

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

Donald Trump, MAGA

For the most part Trump’s prejudices have been directed at his political foes on the left. He routinely describes Democrats and civil rights leaders as racists in an effort to deflect attention from himself and to diffuse the term of any meaning. For instance…

SEE THIS: Jasmine Crockett Tells the Truth About Trump, So He is Attacking Her and Other Women of Color

While most of Trump’s racist attacks just happen to fall on Black women, he does sometimes broaden his attacks to include Black men, including Don Lemon and Charlamagne Tha God. But on Saturday morning Trump went after the Democratic House Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, saying that…

“Hakeem “High Tax” Jeffries is a Low IQ individual who is not smart enough to be ‘running’ the Democrat Party, and certainly not smart enough to be involved in running the United States of America.”

Trump’s “Low IQ” epithet is a big part of his extraordinarily limited vocabulary. And it is aimed almost exclusively at Black men and women who dare to oppose him. What made Trump’s outburst on this occasion slightly different is that he also called one of his most fervent MAGA supporters “Low IQ” just a few minutes after insulting Jeffries with it. He railed at ultra-rightist Candace Owens, who recently criticized Trump over his Iran war, saying that…

“Candace Owens’ stock, which was never very high, has fallen a long way…she is an extremely Low IQ individual!”

So Trump is demonstrating that he has the capacity to be a bipartisan racist, demeaning the intelligence of Black people on both the left and right ends of the political spectrum. Of course, he still directs the vast majority of this abuse at left-leaning Black women including Kamala Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, all of whom he has called “Low IQ.”

In yet another affirmation of Trump’s inbred racism, this week he ordered his “Justice” Department to prosecute the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit enterprise that has been fighting racial hate organizations for 50 years. And of course, their preposterous, legally meritless allegations are that the SPLC is itself racist. The real objective of the persecution is to defend groups like the KKK that form the base of Trump’s MAGA cult.

In the Trump era he has had some success at making it acceptable to be openly racist, at least within the already racist MAGA communities. It will be interesting to see if they continue to back him now that he has launched his invective at the Blacks that they have tolerated because they embraced Trump.

The MAGA cult has lately been showing cracks in their foundation. Will this topple it completely? Probably not. But combined with his broken promises to refrain from starting new wars, and to release the Epstein files, and to lower prices for gas, groceries, etc. the ground beneath Trump’s empire may be turning into quicksand.

UM…NOPE: Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News ‘When Trump Says He’ll Do Something, He’ll Do It’

Posted by on April 21, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 1 Comments :

Before Donald Trump ran for president, he had a regular weekly segment on Fox News that was called “Mondays With Trump” wherein he phoned in an interview with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It served as a promotional vehicle and free campaign ad from 2011 until he came down his golden escalator in 2015.

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Today Trump continues to appear regularly on Fox News, his official Ministry of Propaganda. But that’s not all. His daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, has her own weekend show. His Cabinet members are on Fox’s air daily. And his Propaganda Secretary has a recurring spot on Sean Hannity’s program that he calls the “Hannity Washington Briefing” featuring Karoline Leavitt. From the start of Trump’s re-occupation of the White House, Leavitt has made Fox News her home away from home.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Anti-Press Secretary Talks More to Fox News than to Reporters in the White House

On Monday evening Leavitt was on duty with Hannity where she made some of her routinely ridiculous remarks intended to fluff her boss. She began by complaining about the media observing that “the United States is in a worse off position than we were at the start” of the Iran war. That’s objectively true considering that 13 American troops were killed, more than 400 injured, and thousands of Iranian civilians have died. What’s more, the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war, remains closed causing severe product shortages and price increases around the world.

But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to invent a profile of Trump’s alleged leadership (huh?) and steadiness (whut?), saying that…

“Trump has been the steady leader our country needs throughout this entire endeavor and again, thanks to the success of this entire military operation and his hardline negotiating style, we’re on the brink of a deal. […]

“President Trump has proven before he does not bluff. When he makes a promise, he follows through on it. And I’m not sure why after 10 years of covering this president, the American media still cannot understand when President Trump says he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it.”

The ability to see leadership, and especially steadiness, in Trump requires a massive dose of cult programming. But more to the point, one thing that Trump is well known for is not doing what he says he’s going to do. It’s such a common flaw that it has its own acronym: TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. And if you need some more proof, there’s this…

As for Trump’s war against Iran, he has claimed to be “on the brink of a deal” too many times to count. But no deal has emerged. To the contrary, the latest news is that the peace talks have completely broken down.

Even worse, Trump has promised to annihilate everyone in the country if their leaders didn’t submit to his demands. He threatened that “A whole civilization will die” if the Hormuz Strait weren’t opened. He also raged that they must “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” And yet, it seems that every other day Trump is either celebrating that an incredible deal has been reached, or is issuing new deranged threats.

If that is what Leavitt thinks is leadership and steadiness, I don’t ever want know what she thinks being weak and fickle are. Because to every other conscious observer the strength that Trump projects is the human personification of creamed corn.

Trump Blames Himself for His Iran War Fiasco, and Brags About Hate-Watching Lots of ‘FAKE NEWS’

Posted by on April 20, 2026 at 2:11 pm. 0 Comments :

When Donald Trump launched his war against Iran he promised that it would be won easily and quickly. He claimed to have achieved victory just a few hours after it began. Then he claimed victory again and again and again, every couple of days for the past seven weeks. And after each declaration he resumed offensive military operations against the country he claimed to have already defeated.

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

Trump baby with Iran map

Somehow Trump keeps prosecuting this war, and even escalating it to include more troop deployments and psychopathically genocidal threats against the civilian population of Iran, who he has said he is trying to liberate.

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

In the process, Trump’s massive yet fragile ego was hurt by the analysis of Middle East experts who have concluded that he launched his war against Iran at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, So Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to deny that Netanyahu had anything to do with the decision to go to war, and was it was all Trump’s idea. But as usual, he expects everyone to just take his word for it, despite his rock solid reputation as a pathological liar. Trump raged that…

“Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did.”

So Trump is taking full responsibility for the fiasco in Iran. That’s big of him. But he wants people to believe that he started the war because of the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, by Hamas. Trump’s story is that he is now leading the United States to retaliate against Iran for something that Hamas did three years ago to Israelis.

Therefore, the U.S. is just defending the interests of Israel, and Netanyahu had nothing to do with it? Too bad Trump won’t do that for Ukraine, where Russia has killed tens of thousands more innocent civilians. But then he would have to defy his idol and mentor, Vladimir Putin. That’s not gonna happen.

Trump, however. was just getting started. His post went on to complain about the free press who have been doing their job reporting on the war and Trump’s maze of explanations and excuses for it. According to Trump…

“I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged.”

REALLY? So Trump spends quite a bit of his time perusing the media that he holds in contempt and regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” And in his warped opinion the vast majority of what is reported (90%) “are lies and made up stories.” But he keeps watching and reading it anyway? He is particularly disturbed by the polls that currently show him in record low territory. Even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

MORE HERE: UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Despite the accuracy of the bleak reporting and dismal surveys, Trump continues trying to deceive Americans that the news is all good. He insists that “the results in Iran will be amazing” and that he will prevail with the help of “Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!).” Never mind the new Ayatollah is the even more radical son of the old Ayatollah, and that the same Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is running the country.

No one knows how long these hostilities will continue. But it’s safe to say that Trump’s lies will persist for as long he presents some semblance of cognitive functionality. Which by all available indications, won’t be for very much longer.

FBI Director Kash Patel Tells Fox News He’s Filing a Lawsuit Over Allegations of His Drinking

Posted by on April 19, 2026 at 1:23 pm. 0 Comments :

The brief tenure of Kash Patel as Donald Trump’s FBI Director has failed to produce much of anything to brag about. He has humiliated himself and the Bureau with his inappropriate antics in office. Such as his drunken partying with members of the U.S. Olympic Hockey team. Or flying on government jets to see his girlfriend, a country-western singer, in concert.

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

Now Patel is taking on one of Trump’s most recognizable flaws. Throughout his career in both business and politics, Trump has demonstrated his affinity for lawsuits. He has made himself the most litigious president in the history of the United States. Although his legal misadventures usually don’t work out very well for him.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal for Reporting on Him and Epstein is Thrown Out

On Sunday morning’s episode of Maria Bartiromo’s program on Fox News, She invited Patel to come on to respond to some recent accusations of dangerously inappropriate behavior as reported in an extraordinarily well-sourced article in “The Atlantic.” Bartiromo began by asking Patel about the article. Which led to the following exchange…

Patel: Maria, I am happy to announce on your show that we are not going to take this laying down. You want to attack my character? Come at me. Bring it on. I’ll see you in court.
Bartiromo: So you’re gonna sue them?
Patel: Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow
Bartiromo: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?
Patel: Yes I will. For defamation. And for – you know what Maria? – We have to fight back against the fake news…If the fake news Mafia wants to ring their drum beat as loud as they can, they’re never gonna stop me.

REALLY? It’s good to know that America’s FBI boss is devoting his full attention to the things that matter most to the American people. His pursuit of criminals in the “fake news Mafia” will surely make people feel more safe in their homes and neighborhoods.

Patel is displaying the same sort of fragile ego for which his boss Trump is so well known. And of course, he’s only doing this to please Trump, who is disappointed that there haven’t been more arrests of his political enemies.

However, Patel isn’t helping himself or his reputation. Notice that he never actually denies any of the facts in The Atlantic’s story. What’s more, he’s going to be ripped to shreds during the discovery process if he actually files this lawsuit.

The author of The Atlantic’s article, Sarah Fitzpatrick, did a great job of putting together credible sources, including many from within the FBI. She wrote of Patel that…

“He is erratic, suspicious of others, and prone to jumping to conclusions before he has necessary evidence, according to the more than two dozen people I interviewed about Patel’s conduct, including current and former FBI officials, staff at law-enforcement and intelligence agencies, hospitality-industry workers, members of Congress, political operatives, lobbyists, and former advisers.” […]

“They said that the problems with his conduct go well beyond what has been previously known, and include both conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences. His behavior has often alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice, even as he won support from the White House…Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government.” […]

“On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials.”

What we learn from The Atlantic’s story is that Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, isn’t the only lush in the Trump administration. Patel is exposed as wholly unfit to serve according to his own staff and security detail. The article reveals the he frequently exhibits severe paranoia with regard to anyone who criticizes him or Trump; that he has led a purge of experienced FBI agents for failing to be sufficiently worshipful of Dear Leader; and that he has jeopardized investigations by publicly releasing information that had not been verified, and was later found to be false.

In other words, Patel is just as unqualified and incompetent as just about every other member of Trump’s Cabinet. And following the recent firings of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, it may be Patel who is next in line to hear Trump’s hokey catchphrase from his old reality TV game show, The Apprentice: “You’re fired!”

UPDATE: Patel kept his word and filed his loopy lawsuit against The Atlantic for a preposterous $250 million. As expected, there is no evidence of actual malice (a requirement for a legal finding of defamation) in Patel’s filing. The Atlantic acted responsibly, giving Patel opportunities prior to publication to rebut the allegations, and by securing and verifying multiple, credible sources. If this goes to discovery or court, Patel will come to regret it. It just reinforces and further publicizes the allegations against him.

Herr Trump is Scared Witless of Jessica Tarlov and Demands that Fox News ‘GET HER OFF THE AIR!’

Posted by on April 17, 2026 at 2:25 pm. 0 Comments :

The fragile snowflake currently occupying the White House, Donald Trump, relentlessly demonstrates just how frightened he is of anyone who dares to disagree with him, or otherwise defy his MAGA-sty. There has never been a president who is more rattled by criticism, or who is so cowardly or wears the mantle of victimhood like a shield.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Despite the present tribulations of the nation and the world, Trump remains laser focused on the issues that matter most to the American citizenry. Such as his fixation on how he is portrayed in the media that he regularly maligns as “the enemy of the people.” Never mind that his animosity toward the free press is so warped that it fails to connect with reality.

On Friday morning Trump was performing what he thinks are the highest priority duties of a president: Pounding out childish rants on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. For the most part his hapless harangues consist of self-exaltations, vicious insults, and flagrant lies. And on this particular occasion, Trump hit the trifecta.

The bee in the crybaby’s bonnet this time was something he saw while watching his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Jessica Tarlov, the sole liberal on Fox’s five member panel program, “The Five,” must have uttered something truthful which always outrages Trump. So he posted a comment saying that…

“I am watching one of the Least Attractive and Talented People on all of Television, Jessica Tarlov. Her voice is so grating and terrible, I had to ‘turn her off!’ Her Democrat soundbites are FAKE. She makes up ‘Poll Numbers,’ and nobody challenges her, because she is so boring. I have among the best Poll Numbers I have ever had, and why shouldn’t I, ALL THE COUNTRY DOES IS WIN. CNN had me at 100%, saying they never saw that before. GET HER OFF THE AIR, SHE IS BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY! I hear Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens are dying fast. Their numbers are terrible. Nobody believes them anymore. They were FAKE MAGA, and now they’ve been exposed! President DJT”

Trump is hate-watching Jessica Tarlov on Fox News and demanding that she be taken off the air. Because that's how President Snowflake spends his time.He's also exhibiting his dementia, claiming to have "the best poll numbers I've ever had." Even though he's at historically low levels.

Notice that the first thing that Trump feels compelled to address is his opinion about Tarlov’s appearance. That’s typical of Trump who is obsessed with the most shallow aspects of life and is intellectually and emotionally incapable of comprehending anything deeper.

Then Trump launches into his lies about Tarlov’s remarks that he says are “FAKE.” Specifically, he is referring to her reporting of his abysmal approval ratings that he says are “among the best Poll Numbers I have ever had.” That, of course, is the polar opposite of reality. In fact, his current polling is literally the worst of either of his two terms in office.

Trump then brags that “ALL THE COUNTRY DOES IS WIN.” Apparently Trump thinks that skyrocketing costs for everything from gas to groceries to healthcare, is winning. Not to mention that the U.S. is still at war with Iran. He adds to his bragging that a poll says that “CNN had me at 100%.” But he forgot to mention that it was a poll of only MAGA supporters, who represent a measly 24% of the electorate.

Flummoxed by Tarlov’s factual smackdown, Trump resorts to his habitual tendency to threaten and bully. So rather than offer a substantive rebuttal, Trump dishes out orders to Fox News to “GET HER OFF THE AIR.” Because he just can’t handle ever being exposed to negative news about himself. And he believes that he has the totalitarian authority to dictate what goes on the air and what doesn’t.

Finally, Trump takes some swings at some formerly faithful MAGA-tists, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens, who he now says “are dying fast.” Actually, they are just accepting that the tide is turning for Trump and his MAGA cult, so they are deserting the sinking ship. Trump was reacting to a CNN segment from a month ago wherein they compared the favorable ratings among Republicans only of Trump (61) to those of Tucker Carlson (7).

Trump: “Tucker is a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!! So are Megyn Kelly, ‘Candace’ (Really Dumb and mentally ill!), and Bankrupt Alex Jones, who is completely‘fried.’”

Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens were some of the most fervent supporters of Trump. They defended him unflinchingly. They furiously attacked his critics. However, they have become disillusioned to some degree by his failure to keep his campaign promises to release the Epstein files, to refrain from starting any new wars, and his recent episodes of blasphemy. Consequently, Trump now regards them as “low IQ losers.” But it wasn’t always so for Trump. And CNN also did a piece on that…
