Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Posted by on March 12, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 0 Comments :

In case anyone is wondering, the war against Iran is going great, according to Donald Trump. That’s right. Field Marshal “Bone Spurs” Trump says that it has already been won, even though it is just beginning. And the Iranian nuclear facilities that he obliterated last summer have somehow been obliterated again.

Donald Trump

One thing that can be relied upon with regard to anything that Trump says is that it will be fervently positive about whatever he has done. It will also likely be a flagrant lie. And we can expect Fox News to back it up no matter how preposterous.

SEE THIS: Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

There has been much speculation of how Iran might retaliate against the United States for its unprovoked and illegal attack. Iran has already been firing missiles at U.S. bases in nearby countries. And they have effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, where about 20% of the world’s oil shipments pass through. More than 140 American soldiers have been hospitalized, and eight have been killed. But Trump sees no problems with any of that.

True to form, Trump is now bragging about his management of national security here at home while his war is raging in the Middle East. On Thursday he was asked a question by Peter Doocy of Fox News about the risks faced by Americans domestically. His answer was pure Trumpian bullpucky (video below)…

Doocy: If Iran tries to hit us back, have you been briefed about how many Iran sleeper cells there could be inside the US right now?
Trump: I have been, and a lot of people came in through Biden with his stupid open border. But we know where most of them are. We’ve got our eye on all of them. I think.
Doocy: Is it dozens?
Trump: They came in through the open border policies of “sleepy” Joe Biden. One of the worst – the worst president in the history of our country. And we’ve got our eyes on all of them. But the war itself is being prosecuted at a level that nobody’s seen before. It’s pretty amazing to watch.

Well, that’s comforting, isn’t it? Trump knows all about the Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. And he’s got his eyes on them. All of them. He “thinks” (???) Although he ignores the question about how many there are. Instead, he shifts to blaming and insulting President Biden. Never mind that Biden has been out of office for nearly a year and a half, so Trump is wholly responsible for whatever the situation is today. And to Trump, the former reality TV game show host, that situation is “pretty amazing to watch.” It’ll get great ratings.

However, there is something critical that Trump is missing. If he knows where all of these terrorist Iranian sleeper cells are, why hasn’t he arrested and deported them? Why aren’t ICE agents swarming their hideouts? Trump sure hasn’t been shy about arresting, deporting, and even killing American citizens for exercising their constitutional rights to protest. But he’s letting Iranian terrorists remain to plot against the American people?

If Trump actually has any information about these alleged sleeper cells, he should act on it immediately, or give the information to state authorities who will. Why would he delay? It would be too horrific to speculate that Trump might want to see a domestic terrorist attack, in order to give him an excuse to interfere with the upcoming elections, or to declare martial law and commit even more grievous violations of the Constitution.

As it is, Trump commits so many atrocities, so frequently, that it’s difficult to keep up with them. Consequently, he often gets away with behavior like this that puts the lives of millions at risk. He is so blatantly and dangerously incompetent that it boggles the mind to consider that he even has a small contingent of cult followers who can still stomach his antics. But then, that’s the nature of a cult.

HOLY CRAPOLI! Trump says that there are sleeper cells in the U.S. of Iranian terrorists who entered the country illegally because of "sleepy Joe."And he knows where they are? But he's not arresting or deporting them?But he is arresting, deporting, and even killing American citizens?

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of ‘Wah’ is a Crybaby Who Bans ‘Unflattering’ Photos of Himself

Posted by on March 11, 2026 at 2:54 pm. 0 Comments :

Ten days into the war that Donald Trump launched against Iran to destroy their nuclear capabilities (that he obliterated a few months ago), or to effect regime change (to a younger Ayatollah Khamenei), or to free up the oil market (that is now more constrained, raising gas prices to the highest levels in five years), the “stable genius” occupying the White House now says that the war is both over and just beginning.

Donald Trump baby and Pete Hegseth

Trump’s utterly unjustified and illegal war is going great, according to Trump. Never mind that more than 140 American soldiers suffered serious injuries, including eight fatalities. And just ignore that it’s costing American taxpayers nearly a billion dollars a day. In Trump’s mind it’s a complete success because…well, just because he says so. And his boss in Moscow surely agrees.

SEE THIS: The Trump Regime Takes Putin at His Word About Russia Aiding Iran but Wanting to Help the U.S.

Of course, the Trump regime’s war machine is fully engaged in the war effort. That means that his Secretary of “War,” Pete Hegseth, is focused squarely on the mission to achieve whatever the heck Trump’s goals are. Even though he has failed to coherently explain what they are.

For his part, Hegseth is advancing the military’s position of always putting first the most shallow objective of enhancing the PR of the Pentagon and its boss, Pete Hegseth. For instance, it was reported Wednesday that Hegseth has taken bold measures to insure that he continues to look good in the media…

The Defense Department has barred press photographers from briefings on the Iran war after they published photos of Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering," according to two people familiar with the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1.bsky.social) 2026-03-11T15:45:18.439Z

That’s right. “Snowflake Pete” has put the kibosh on “unflattering” pictures of the Secretary of “Wah.” This is a move that ought to have been expected, coming from the former co-host of a weekend Fox News morning program. And it isn’t the first time that Hegseth has banished unfriendly media on the basis of appearances…

Trump’s Secretary of War on the Press, Pete Hegseth, Is Rebuked By the Media He’s Trying to Censor
“Hegseth proved his fealty to Trump last month when he issued a decree demanding that the press must swear a Trumpian loyalty oath before being allowed access to the Pentagon or to military leaders who work for the American people. […] The mandate that Hegseth imposed on the press forbids them to do any investigative reporting, interviewing, or to publish any stories that haven’t been pre-approved by Hegseth’s Pentagon overlords.

“Under this decree, reporters would be required to have an approved Pentagon escort when in the building. And should they refuse to sign the oath, they risk losing their press credentials.”

And who could forget Hegseth’s orders to build a makeup studio in the Pentagon, so that he could always look his best when doing cable news hits for MAGA friendly media…

Pete Hegseth Spends Thousands for a Pentagon Makeup Studio to Fortify America’s Military Might
“[Hegseth] has spent thousands of dollars to build a makeup studio in the Pentagon. Apparently, our soldiers also have to look good in battlefield photos. Or more likely, when Hegseth and other officers are making appearances on Fox News.”

More recently, Hegseth let it be known that he wouldn’t tolerate any news reporting of American casualties of war, because their having had the audacity to die on duty made Trump look bad…

Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’
“This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran’s airspace and waterways without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Is this what Hegseth means when he talks about restoring a “warrior ethos” to the military? Because it seems more like he’s restoring the “red carpet” essence of the entertainment industry from whence he came. It surely isn’t helping either the image or the abilities of troops. But it soothes the massive but fragile egos of Hegseth and Trump. Who were both television hosts before going into politics.

The Trump Regime Takes Putin at His Word About Russia Aiding Iran but Wanting to Help the U.S.

Posted by on March 10, 2026 at 1:59 pm. 2 Comments :

For ten years Donald Trump has been whining about what he calls the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.” But like everything else that he calls a hoax, it is based on documented facts. Trump has had unsavory connections to Russian officials and proxies for as long as he has been in politics, and even before with his real estate ventures.

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

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Now as Trump is engaged in his unprovoked and unnecessary war against Iran, he is affirming all of the worst implications of his disturbing adoration of Vladimir Putin and his envy of the dictator’s authoritarian powers. And in his diminished mental state, Trump is conflating his lies about Iran with his lies about Russia and their interference in the U.S. elections.

SEE THIS: Trump Just Posted the Real Reason that He Started a War with Iran, and It’s Truly Insane

During a press conference on Tuesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked a question by ABC News reporter, Karen Travers, about a recent phone call that Trump had with his boss, Vladimir Putin. Travers sought to get some clarification on Trump’s assertion that Putin promised to help the U.S. with Iran, which Putin promptly contradicted…

Travers: The president said yesterday that Putin told him he wanted to helpful in the Middle East. The Kremlin put out a statement where Putin said, quote, “I would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for Tehran and our solidarity with Iranian friends.” How does the president think that Russia could be helpful if not helping Iran? And did the president push Putin on Russia sharing intelligence with Iran in this war?
Leavitt: The President and Special Envoy Witkoff, have both said that they’ve sent a message to Russia that if that was taking place, it’s not something they would be happy with and they hope that it is not taking place.

Notice that Leavitt totally ignored the part of the question regarding Trump’s claim that Putin would be helpful to the U.S. And her response to the credible reports that Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to help them target American assets and troops was hardly comforting. To the contrary, it couldn’t be a weaker expression submissiveness to Putin by saying merely that Trump would not be happy about it. That’s telling him!

Confirming Trump’s mushy stance on these matters, his “Special” envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff, told CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla that the Trump regime was satisfied with whatever Putin said…

Quintanilla: Do we think the Russians have shared intelligence about US military assets, and if they have, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?
Witkoff: Well, I’m not an intel officer, so I can’t tell you. I can tell you that yesterday on the call with the president the Russians said they have not been sharing. That’s what they said. We can take them at their word.

QUINTANILLA: Do we think the Russians have shared intel about US military assets, and if so, why would we be giving waivers on oil sanctions?WITKOFF: I can tell you that on the call with POTUS, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-03-10T16:08:53.733Z

Once again, the part of the question regarding Trump giving waivers to Russia on oil sanctions was ignored. But Witkoff proudly proclaimed his blind faith in Putin, whose word is apparently golden to Trump and his team.

None of this should be surprising to anyone who has been paying attention to Trump, his staff, and his glassy-eyed disciples. The cult factor is clearly in play here. And Witkoff is a good example of a zealous devotee. During the CNBC interview he was also asked what he would say to “Americans who are struggling with making ends meet and don’t want foreign wars.” He replied…

"…think about what this world would look like if you didn't have Donald Trump as the president."OKAY…

Stephen Colbert Delivers a Hilarious Acceptance/Farewell Speech at Writers Guild Award Ceremony

Posted by on March 9, 2026 at 2:15 pm. 0 Comments :

The 78th Annual Writers Guild of America’s annual awards ceremony was held Sunday night in New York City. Among the recipients was Stephen Colbert, whose CBS “Late Night” program was recently canceled amid a controversial ownership shake up that put the network into the hands of Trump-friendly billionaires, David and Larry Ellison. Its final episode will air on May 21, 2026.

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

Stephen Colbert & Trump Baby

Colbert was honored with the prestigious and rarely presented “Walter Bernstein Award” that is presented to a Guild member who has “demonstrated with creativity, grace and bravery a willingness to confront social injustice in the face of adversity.” There is no one who better exemplifies those principles than Colbert. Particularly at this point in his career. Although the punishment meted out by his corporate bosses might have backfired on them…

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

Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live, Conan O’Brien, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, etc.) gave Colbert a lengthy and entertaining, anecdote-laden introduction, reminding the audience of Colbert’s work on many programs, including The Dana Carvey Show, Strangers With Candy, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report. Then he brought Colbert to the podium for his acceptance speech, who led off with a bit of the back story on the award’s namesake. (Colbert begins at about 14:00)

“Thank you for the honor of the Walter Bernstein award. Bernstein was a brilliant writer and, as you know, was Blacklisted. I did a little research, and as I did research I discovered – I don’t know why I didn’t know this – it dawned on me that the Blacklist was not a government policy. The Blacklist wasn’t a law or a regulation or an executive order. It was a voluntary industry-wide agreement to deny work to left-leaning artists out of fear that certain members of the government might publicly attack the parent corporation of these artists for the union that they belong to. It was that threat, only the threat, of trouble, that ended so many careers.”

Colbert was quick to note that he didn’t believe that he had been subject to anything on the level of the 1950.s Blacklisting. Adding that “As far as I can tell, no one in late night is fomenting a revolution.” Then delivering the best line of the night…

“As we know, the revolution will not be televised. It was going to be televised, but then Paramount bought it. Evidently, the revolution was losing, like, $40 million a year. It had to go. I guess the revolution is thinking about starting a Substack.”

Colbert spent a good portion of his speech praising his writing staff, and even pitching for them to be hired after his show ends. He named them all with short personal “tributes” punctuated with fun facts about each one. He also went through a number of jokes that didn’t make it to the air. They included jabs at the Dobbs decision to repeal abortion rights, Kristi Noem’s alleged affair with aide Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s incestuous comments toward his daughter Ivanka, Melania meeting the Pope, and a profane reference to a McDonalds tag line.

All in all, it was an entertaining night of humor and history and a well deserved tribute to a comedy legend. Consequently, we can expect a full blown meltdown by Donald Trump whose aversion to comedy in general, and hatred for Colbert in particular, is well known…

Trump is having a bad night, so he's up rage-posting about TV comedians.He wants Stephen Colbert to be "put to sleep." And he thinks that networks have broadcast licenses (they don't) that should be "terminated."Poor baby isn't getting enough sleep at his Cabinet meetings.

Judge Rules that Trump Toady Kari Lake’s Appointment Was Illegal and Voids All of Her Actions

Posted by on March 8, 2026 at 2:53 pm. 0 Comments :

If there is one thing for which Donald Trump has distinguished himself, it’s that he is indisputably the most media averse president in American history. And now the Trump regime’s Censorship Czar, Kari lake, has been repudiated in court (again) for her efforts to muzzle Voice of America (VOA), an essential distributor of American news to countries that stifle independent reporting such as Iran, where Trump is currently engaged in an unprovoked war.

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

Donald Trump and Kari Lake

Trump recruited Lake to run VOA’s parent, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), after she was firmly rejected by Arizonans for both governor and senator. While Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, is strangling the free press domestically, Lake is the foreign flank of Trump’s media gagging team. Impressed with her election denying prowess, Trump found her a position from which she could spew propaganda worldwide. Among her first official acts was to fire hundreds of experienced and dedicated VOA journalists and replace them with One America News, an ultra-MAGA, Trump-fluffing network.

SEE THIS: Trump Flunky Kari Lake Taps MAGA Propaganda Network, OAN, to Be the Voice of Voice of America

Fortunately, the attempts by Trump and Lake to stifle freedom of the press have themselves been stifled by the courts. In a new ruling Lake was forcefully rebuked by the judge in a case challenging her appointment to her USAGM post. On Saturday Reuters published an article with the headline “US judge voids 2025 actions taken by Kari Lake as Voice of America CEO, including job cuts.”

“A federal judge ruled on Saturday that Kari Lake’s leadership of the U.S. Agency for Global Media for much of last year violated federal law, invalidating a sweeping series of actions she took to cut staff and end many operations at its Voice of America unit.

“In another blow to the Trump administration’s attempts to diminish various government agencies, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth granted a summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs — including VOA journalists and a union representing federal employees — who argued that Lake’s appointment as acting CEO and actions she took in that role ran afoul of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.”

“Lamberth ruled that Lake was ineligible to serve as acting CEO because she was not employed by USAGM when former CEO Amanda Bennett resigned in January 2025, and had not been confirmed by the Senate to any other federal post.”

Lake quickly put out a statement saying that she would appeal the ruling by the judge who she said “has a pattern of activist rulings.” True to form, Lake is lying and smearing the judge’s reputation. But Lake is going to have a hard time painting Lamberth as a radical lefty jurist. To the contrary, he was nominated to the bench by Ronald Reagan in 1987.

In addition to the Voice of America, the USAGM oversees international broadcasting networks such as Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Radio Television Martí, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks. Their programming is heard around the world in an effort to peacefully extend U.S. influence and combat authoritarianism. No wonder Trump hates it. Anything that would interfere with his own aspirations of authoritarianism triggers his wrath.

At this particular moment in time, the value of these networks cannot be overstated. Trump is currently engaged in a war with Iran, where the Middle East Broadcasting Networks aired prior to his dismantling them. And Trump is also threatening to invade Cuba, the province of Radio Television Martí. So he is severing vital channels of communications with the citizens of those countries when it is needed most.

Hopefully the appeals courts will uphold these recent rulings that invalidate the efforts of Lake and Trump to decimate America’s international messaging capabilities. The last thing America needs now is to follow in the footsteps of Trump’s tyrannical idols and mentors, such as Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and Kim Jong Un.

Fox News Has Already Declared Victory in Iran, While Trump is Threatening ‘Complete Destruction’

Posted by on March 7, 2026 at 1:01 pm. 0 Comments :

When George W. Bush plastered a “Mission Accomplished” banner onto the upper deck of an aircraft carrier in 2003, it actually heralded the continuation of a brutal war with Iraq that went on for another twenty years and cost the lives of thousands of American troops and Iraqi civilians.

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

Donald Trump appears to be intent on reprising that painful episode of American history. His war against Iran began a week ago, but he is already bragging about how savagely lethal his unprovoked, illegal, and broadly unpopular war mongering has been. Sadly, much of the lethality has been suffered by Iranian civilians, including dozens of elementary school children. Which is typical of the insensitivity of the Trump regime to the casualties of war, including American soldiers.

SEE THIS: Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’

So naturally Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is ready to justify everything Trump does, no matter how horrible the consequences. On Saturday morning the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends were discussing the Iran fiasco when co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy (wife of Trump’s Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy) made an astonishing announcement. She delivered the glassy-eyed Fox viewers some partisan PR saying…

“Lets think about what has happened, lets list it out, So we took out the Iranian regime leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, and then 40 of the top leaders, We degraded their military […] We’ve kind of unified them [other Middle East states] behind us so that’s kind of worked in our favor to some degree. We’ve outed fake allies, Spain, England, right? Why should we ever help them again? […] So to me, this already looks like victory. And so, I say, lets declare victory very quickly,”

Glory hallelujah! It’s all over and everybody can go home. After all, “we took out” the Ayatollah, who is likely to be replaced by his even more radical son. And we did the dirty work of “degrading” Iran for the other regional countries who were already opposed to them. And we simultaneously alienated some of our closest and most enduring allies. So…Mission Accomplished?

It’s not clear whether Fox News consulted with Trump prior to initiating this celebration. Had they done so, they might have learned that he isn’t really on board. In fact, while the Fox Friends were gushing, Trump posted on Truth Social that he was still deeply involved in his battle against “Iran, which is being beat to HELL.” He elaborated saying that “Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death.” Which doesn’t sound much like a declaration of victory.

What’s more, Trump posted a another comment saying that “We have a virtually unlimited supply of…Munitions…however, we have also increased Orders.” So he’s increasing our supply of munitions from unlimited to…ultra unlimited? Never mind that Trump and the GOP say we can’t afford healthcare, or education, or housing, or any initiatives that might lower the cost of living for Americans here at home.

Meanwhile, Trump also took time to clarify why he is really so obsessed with his military misadventures around the world. During an event marking the launch of his cartoon-inspired “Shield of the Americas,” he inadvertently let it slip that the only things he cares about are money and oil…

Trump says that "Cuba is at the end of line. They have no money. They have no oil." He's admitting that his foreign misadventures ( Venezuela, Iran) are all about money and oil.So it makes sense that he's enriching himself by holding this summit at his Trump National Doral Miami golf resort.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-07T17:43:00.321Z

Knowing that, we now have the criteria for determining when his mission is actually accomplished. Although most people who have been paying attention already know. And it has nothing to do with Iran…

CORRECTION: Trump's Department of War spelled "Epstein" wrong.This is the real reason that Trump started a war with Iran. Also, he needed to justify renaming the Department of Defense.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-28T18:13:19.098Z

UPDATE: Now Trump also says that we have already won the war. In a post on Truth Social he claims that he rejected help from British Prime Minister Starmer saying that “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

WHUT? Fox News ‘Democrat’ Says Trump Deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for His War Against Iran

Posted by on March 6, 2026 at 2:01 pm. 0 Comments :

For the past few months, Donald Trump has been signing off his Truth Social posts by saying “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Setting aside the fact that he is misusing that phrase, which is usually intended to admonish lazy customer service reps, anyone who has actually been paying attention to Trump has observed his obsession with awarding himself a Nobel Peace Prize.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s egomaniacal fixations and malignant narcissism have naturally spread to his cult followers who glorify his every word and deed. The result has been a parade of Trump toadies seeking to regale him with all manner of honors and trophies, most of which were made up just for him. And nowhere is this more evident than on Fox News.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Friday Fox News tied their Trump worship to his recently launched Middle East war mongering. In a segment discussing the justification for Trump going to war against Iran, they booked Julian Epstein (no, not that Epstein), a frequent guest on Fox News who fits the profile of a “Fox News Democrat” (i.e. an alleged Democrat who always bashes Democrats). Epstein wasted little time in slobbering all over Trump and declaring that…

“What I think Donald Trump is doing is, is heroic. I think if this is successful, it will be something that could qualify him once again for a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Of course. What better reason could there be to award the Nobel Peace Prize than the unprovoked military assault on a smaller country that they cavalierly accused of being an “imminent threat” with no evidence to back it up? Epstein even said that the U.S. “will be seen as liberators” in Iran. Which is chillingly reminiscent of Dick Cheney saying prior to George W. Bush attacking Iraq that “My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.”

This isn’t the first time that Epstein has proposed that Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize, and for the same reason. Last year when Trump bombed Iran, supposedly “obliterating” all of their nuclear capabilities, Epstein posted this tweet…

Around the same time, Epstein’s proposal was taken up by Republicans in Congress. Sen. Bernie Moreno introduced a resolution for the Senate to formally nominate Trump for the Nobel. Moreno said that Trump deserved it because he had “just pulled off…peace in the Middle East with Iran’s nuclear arsenal decimated.” And also because of “his historic brokerage of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.” An agreement that Trump appears to have obliterated, if it ever actually existed.

The manic compulsion by Epstein, Moreno, and Fox News to pay tribute to Trump is further proof that Trump is not the head of a political party. He is the Dear Leader of a pseudo-religious cult. And his disciples are devoted to exalting this modern day “Prince of Peace” at all times. What else should be expected for the man who appointed himself the Chairman of the “Board of Peace” that he created?

Trump FREAKS OUT Over All the Bad News Dragging Him (and America) Down: Iran, Epstein, and More

Posted by on March 5, 2026 at 2:22 pm. 0 Comments :

It has only been a little over one year since Donald Trump reoccupied the White House, and already he is exhibiting dangerously insane behavior that far exceeds anything he unleashed in his first term. He has bombed eight foreign countries, removing the leaders of two of them. He has imposed inflationary tariffs that have raised the cost of living for all Americans. He has sent his StormTrumpers into U.S. cities to terrorize their citizens.

Donald Trump

Never let it be said that Donald Trump doesn’t deal aggressively with the adversity that challenges every leader. In fact, Trump deals with it so aggressively that he risks suffering a massive neurological disorder. In the past this has resulted in hostile hissy fits and flying ketchup bottles. His psychological diagnoses could fill a textbook.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

In his most recent episodes Trump may be suffering from a mental impairment known as Intermittent Explosive Disorder. So, yes, brains exploding are a real thing. According to the Mayo Clinic…

“Intermittent explosive disorder involves repeated, sudden bouts of impulsive, aggressive, violent behavior or angry verbal outbursts. The reactions are too extreme for the situation. Road rage, domestic abuse, throwing or breaking objects, or other temper tantrums may be symptoms of intermittent explosive disorder.”

Sound familiar? On Thursday morning Trump was especially perturbed. So he took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to disgorge some of his uncontrollably escalating angst. However, he seemed to be unable to drum up anything but old grievances. So he used them to assuage his anxieties. For instance, Trump posted a link to an article that’s a month old bragging that…

Trump Pardoned 5 Former NFL Stars
The NFL players that Trump pardoned were convicted of various crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking. Which is more proof of his perverse commitment to law and order, wherein it never applies to the elite, the wealthy, or his political comrades.

Then there was Trump’s post linking another nearly month old article celebrating that a banner with his face on it was draped across the facade of the Justice Department headquarters…

U.S. Justice Department hangs banner of Donald Trump at headquarters
Trump must be so proud that he is explicitly admitting to erasing the independence that has traditionally separated the Justice Department and the White House. The DoJ under Trump acts as his personal legal defense firm.

Then there was Trump’s pride in boosting the use of coal with another aged article link…

Trump Honored on Behalf of Coal Miners as ‘Undisputed Champion of Beautiful, Clean Coal’
This article announced that Trump was given an award by the coal lobby for his efforts advancing black lung disease, accelerating Climate Change, fouling the planet, and making all of it’s inhabitants sicker.

Then there was Trump’s link to an article that was a little more timely. Just a week ago…

Mortgage Rates Fall to Lowest Level Since 2022
Trump is boasting that he brought mortgage rates down from 6.09% to 6.01%. But as of March 5, 30-year fixed mortgage rates for home buying have gone back up to about 6.125% nationally.

Finally, Trump posted a comment urging his MAGA GOP sycophants in Congress to pass a voter suppression bill…

Clearly Trump is obsessed with trying to deflect the American people from all of the harm that he is currently imposing on the nation, and the world. And he is likely worried in particular about the dismal prospects for him the GOP in the upcoming midterm elections. So he is digging back in time for distractions. But even his distractions are examples of his own flagrantly harmful agenda. So he can’t blame anyone else for his problems. Although he will anyway. Just ask Kristi Noem, who he just fired as Secretary of Homeland Security.

If Trump thinks these tactics will make people forget his unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, or his war mongering in Iran, or his economic fiascos, or his assaults on peaceful protesters and free speech, or his persecution of journalists and the media, or his narcissistic renaming of everything for himself, or egomaniacal authoritarian aspirations, he is even sicker than we imagined. Which is really saying something.

UPDATE: Trump followed up the posts above on Friday with 13 more posts linking to stories from last month, including 8 (EIGHT!) separate posts complaining about his dinner with Bill Maher. So nah, Trump isn’t scared and triggered to the point of insanity at all, is he?

Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’

Posted by on March 4, 2026 at 2:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have manifested in innumerable ways during his occupation of the White House. He has been resolutely averse to complying with federal law and the Constitution. He has refused to acknowledge the role of either Congress or the courts as co-equal branches of the American republic. And he has made it his mission to alienate America’s international allies, while embracing its sworn enemies.

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

This has been painfully apparent in the four days since Trump launched his reckless, unjustified, and illegal war against Iran. There has already been a tragic loss of life of American troops. Not to mention hundreds of innocent Iranians. And all because of Trump’s obsession with war mongering and desperate craving to be perceived as a macho man, despite his personal resume of cowardice and the weakness of envy.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

Taking his cues from Trump, the Secretary of Toy Soldier War, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Wednesday morning to provide his update on the regress of the Iran war, that nobody in the Republican Party or crony MAGA media will admit is a war. During his extending rant, Hegseth made his feelings known about both the fallen soldiers under his command and the media that reports on their fates. He whined that…

“This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran’s airspace and waterways without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Notice that Hegseth himself refers to this as a war. Then he goes on to characterize the death of American troops as merely that “tragic things happen.” That’s true. Tragic things happen when incompetents whose prior experience was hosting weekend programs on Fox News are put in charge of massive military bureaucracies. But rather than taking responsibility for it, Hegseth blames the media for giving it the proper attention that fallen heroes deserve on the front pages and opening segments of their reporting.

However, to Hegseth, “reporting the reality” of these tragedies is just the media’s attempts “to make the president look bad.” Trust me…Trump doesn’t need any help from the media to look bad. But Hegseth is outraged because reporting that Americans have died in this regime’s war of choice and vanity can’t be spun as something positive for Dear Leader Trump.

Making matters worse, when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked about Hegseth’s callous remarks, she took the same position…

Kaitlan Collins of CNN: Given what Hegseth said this morning, is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. Service members?
Leavitt: No, it’s the position of this administration that the press in this room, and the press across the country, should accurately report on the success of operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room. […]

The press does only want to make the president look bad. Especially you, and especially CNN […] You and your network know that you take every single thing that this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad. That is an objectable (sic) fact.

Leavitt personally insults Collins, while literally saying that the job of the press is to report only “the success of operation Epic Fury” (aka Epstein Fury), not the reality. Because the reality has the unfortunate, albeit accurate, side effect of hurting Trump’s objectively abysmal reputation. And she flagrantly lies that it’s a fact that “every single thing” the administration says is used by CNN to make him look bad. Has she never seen Scott Jennings, Ben Ferguson, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Ari Fleischer, and many more of CNN’s Trump-fluffers?

Leavitt conveniently fails to mention Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, where she spends more time than she does at her White House office. And Fox News has also been regurgitating the Trump regime’s talking points about Iran, while downplaying the bad news. For instance, Fox’s Emily Compagno recently gushed that Trump “is a president that does not take the loss of those six American lives lightly. He takes it with the gravitas it deserves.” For the record, here is the “gravitas” that Trump expresses for the loss of life…

Dementia J. Trump Thinks He Was Invited to the White House Correspondents Dinner as the Honoree

Posted by on March 3, 2026 at 12:16 pm. 0 Comments :

On April 25, 2026, the annual White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD) will be held to bring together members of the press and the Washington politicians they cover. It’s often an awkward convergence of people that have a naturally – and perhaps appropriately – averse relationship with one another.

Donald Trump TV Set

The WHCD routinely invites the sitting President of the United States to be a guest every year. And every that Trump occupied the White House, he refused the invitation. Until now. After years of insulting and demeaning the media, Trump is going to sit down with those that he calls, in Stalinist terms, “the enemy of the people.” And his flagrant hostility to the free press is engraved in his psyche…

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

This year Trump announced on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that he would grace the dinner with his glorious presence for the first time as president. In his typical overly verbose babbling, he wrote that…

“The White House Correspondents Association has asked me, very nicely, to be the Honoree at this year’s Dinner, a long and storied tradition since it began in 1924, under then President Calvin Coolidge. In honor of our Nation’s 250th Birthday, and the fact that these ‘Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country, the G.O.A.T., according to many, it will be my Honor to accept their invitation, and work to make it the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER! Because the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL, right from the beginning of my First Term, I boycotted the event, and never went as Honoree. However, I look forward to being with everyone this year. Hopefully, it will be something very Special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

There’s a steaming pile of bullpucky in that ridiculous comment. Let’s begin with Trump’s claim that he was asked “to be the Honoree.” Nowhere in the White House Correspondents’ invitation did they ever say or imply that Trump would be the honoree. He was simply asked because he’s the president, just like every president before him.

Furthermore, Trump’s assertion that the “Correspondents’ now admit that I am truly one of the Greatest Presidents in the History of our Country,” is a figment of his overactive imagination. It’s highly unlikely that anyone in the WHCA has ever said anything close to that.

What’s more, Trump’s boast that his participation might make this year’s dinner “the GREATEST, HOTTEST, and MOST SPECTACULAR DINNER, OF ANY KIND, EVER!” is laughable. He made the same preposterous boast about his hosting of the Kennedy Center Honors, and his State of the Union, that turned out to be the lowest rated in a quarter of a century.

Of course, he managed to slip in his seething hatred of the media saying that “the Press was extraordinarily bad to me, FAKE NEWS ALL.” It wouldn’t take a mind reader to know that’s how Trump feels. Although, the WHCA also announced that their featured entertainer this year is mentalist Oz Pearlman, who they say “will offer a fascinating glimpse into what’s truly on the minds of Washington’s newsmakers.” That actually sounds kind of scary.

Perhaps one of the reasons that Trump boycotted the dinner for so long was what happened the last time he attended as a guest in 2011. That year Trump was the subject of mocking by President Barack Obama. He had jokes about Trump’s birther fixation, his background as a reality TV game show host, and his flaming narcissism. Trump was not amused. See for yourself.

It’s a bit of a stretch for the WHCA president this year, Weijia Jiang of CBS News, to say that this event will be “a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment. With Trump on the dais? And particularly after CBS has been acquired by the Trump-fluffing billionaires, David and Larry Ellison?

In past years the president in attendance delivered a speech before the dinner guests. Presumably Trump will do the same. And also presumably, it will be a rehashing of his standard cult rally address that is comprised mainly of insulting the media, attacking his political foes, exalting himself, and always lying about everything. Which should guarantee that the audience will tune out in droves.
