Trump is APPALLED that Fox News Reported on Tom Steyer, a Candidate for Governor of California

Posted by on April 15, 2026 at 2:13 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor crybaby Donald Trump is very upset by Fox News reporting on the governor’s race in California. Well, he’s only upset by part of it. Apparently Trump thinks that Fox News should only be covering Republican candidates for governor. And even then, only the MAGA candidate that he endorsed.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

On Wednesday morning Trump was busy performing what he thinks are his presidential duties: Watching Fox News and posting asinine comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Never mind that there is a war going on in Iran that has spread through the Middle East. Or that the U.S. economy is tanking. Or that his approval ratings are in the toilet as the midterm election is approaching.

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

Rather than addressing the critical issues that the American people are most interested in, Trump was raging over what he regards as an atrocity committed by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Trump pounded out a furious rant concerning something he just saw on Fox about the California governor’s race…

“Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now, and probably putting him ‘into play,’ instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans? How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections, when you have FoxNews promoting the Democrats? Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win. VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

OMG! Fox News actually did a story that included a Democratic candidate for governor of California? How could they? After all, Tom Steyer, according to Trump, is just a “SLEAZEBAG” and a “LOSER” and “nobody cares” about him. Which are all facets of character that Trump knows well due to all them being core parts of his own character.

Trump’s assertion that nobody cares about Steyer flies in the face of reality as he is currently leading in the polls for all candidates – Democratic and Republican – running in the upcoming primary. And Trump’s claim that Fox News put Steyer “into Play.” ignores Steyer’s $120 million advertising campaign.

In Trump’s cartoon brain, Fox News is obligated to only do stories about Republicans, and only about Trump if they can swing it. So he whines that Fox should have been reporting on the GOP candidate, Steve Hilton, who happens to be a former Fox News contributor. What a coincidence.

Adding to the absurdity of Trump’s comment, Fox News had actually just done a story about Hilton less than a hour before Trump’s post. The Hilton segment was mostly vicious and false anti-Steyer ranting. The “big piece” about Steyer that rattled Trump wasn’t much more than a mention of his fundraising and his standing in the polls along with the other candidates. And it also contained some swipes at Steyer’s rational immigration proposals that Trump and the GOP regard as radical leftist policies.

Finally, Trump also had to throw in a dig at “Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections” as the reason he thinks that Republicans can’t win in California. Of course it couldn’t have anything to do with their radical right policies that Californians abhor, could it? Also, someone should remind Trump of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who managed to overcome the election rigging and win two terms as governor.

If Trump really thinks that Fox News viewers are going to be persuaded to vote for Steyer given the negative reports they put on the air, he is dumber than we thought. Likewise, putting more of Hilton on isn’t going to help him with the vast majority of California’s voters who don’t watch Fox News. But if whining on Truth Social makes Trump feel better and keeps him from doing greater harm with his wars, his economic fiascoes, and his relentless breaches of law and morality, then let him go ahead and do that. Like all babies, it’s best to keep his attention focused on trivial distractions.

The White House Correspondents Association Awards Are Gonna Really Piss Trump Off

Posted by on April 14, 2026 at 2:05 pm. 0 Comments :

On Saturday, April 25, the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) will be holding their annual dinner to honor members and raise money for journalism scholarships. It’s an event that mixes politics, news, and entertainment. The audience is mostly reporters who cover the White House and Donald Trump, along with their sometimes odd guests.

Donald Trump TV Set

Each year a there is a guest MC who, in the past, has been a professional comedian. Last year the comedian, Amber Ruffin, was axed after Trump threw a tantrum. This year, it will be hypnotist, Oz Pearlman. Read into that what you will. This will also be the first year that Trump has attended the event as president. In his five previous opportunities he was too afraid of facing the humor that is commonly part of the festivities.

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

With Trump’s attendance at the dinner he is expected to give a speech. It will be interesting to hear his predictably hostile remarks before the audience of journalists that he frequently refers to as “the enemy of the people.” He is also likely going to be subjected to some good natured criticism in remarks by some of the other speakers. But he is notoriously incapable of tolerating any criticism of any kind. So expect to see video of him scowling much of the time. Which will be especially true when the WHCA is handing its annual awards for excellence.

The WHCA has announced the winners of these awards. and they are not going to make Trump very happy. According to the WHCA press release…

“Groundbreaking reporting about the first year of President Trump’s second term dominated the winners of this year’s journalism awards from the White House Correspondents’ Association.

“The reporting being honored included such subjects as the exercise of power in the White House, loyalty of civil servants to a new administration, a dramatic meeting in the Oval Office with the president of Ukraine, and the late Jeffrey Epstein.

“This year’s awards honor work done in 2025, by journalists at the Associated Press, CNN, Getty Images and The Wall Street Journal.”

UH-OH. The Association better make sure there are no condiment bottles, or anything else throwable, on the table where Trump is seated. Some of the award recipients are…

THE ALDO BECKMAN AWARD FOR OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN WHITE HOUSE COVERAGE: Josh Dawsey, The Wall Street Journal:
‘Special government employees,’ including many who drive policy, aren’t required to publicly disclose potential conflicts or give up outside work or investments.”
[Note: A federal court recently threw out a defamation lawsuit by Trump against the The Wall Street Journal]

PRINT AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PRESIDENTIAL NEWS COVERAGE UNDER DEADLINE PRESSURE: Aamer Madhani and Zeke Miller, The Associated Press:
“Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election.”
[Note: Trump also lost a case wherein he tried to ban the AP from White House events]

BROADCAST AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN PRESIDENTIAL NEWS COVERAGE UNDER DEADLINE PRESSURE: Kaitlan Collins, CNN:
“What just happened in the Oval Office is nothing short of remarkable.It began with questions about a cease fire in Ukraine and security guarantees, and what the United States would be willing to do. And it ended with an outright shouting match between President Zelensky, President Trump and Vice President JD Vance. It was incredibly heated, and by the end of it, President Trump was absolutely fuming.”
[Note: Trump recently threatened CNN over a story he falsely claims was fake news]

THE KATHARINE GRAHAM AWARD FOR COURAGE AND ACCOUNTABILITY: The Wall Street Journal:
“Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th. Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’”

It is customary for the president to present some these awards. But it is difficult to imagine Trump doing so considering the recipients and the subject matter of their winning stories. At least not without Trump making some idiotic and infantile insults in the process. Which is all we can expect from him.

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

Posted by on April 13, 2026 at 2:47 pm. 0 Comments :

The competition for “Most Litigious President” has long been decided with Donald Trump coming in at the head of the pack by insurmountable margins. Trump is well known to sue anyone or anything that dares to tell the truth about him, or pursues a policy path that he disagrees with.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

The list of Trump’s legal victims includes politicians, universities, government agencies, legal firms, and perhaps more than anything else, media and journalists. Suing the media is one of the methods that Trump regularly employs to intimidate the free press, and/or to exact retribution on them for doing their job. And if Trump can’t muzzle the media, he will simply banish them.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Kicks the Wall Street Journal Out of the Press Pool for His Next Junket Overseas

Fortunately, there is still some measure of integrity within the American judicial system. And Trump’s batting average with his loopy lawsuits is pitifully low. The most recent example of this is a suit that Trump filed last year against the Wall Street Journal over a well documented and sourced story concerning Trump’s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker and pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. As reported by NBC News…

“A federal judge in Florida on Monday dismissed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over a story on a bawdy 50th birthday card he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles tossed the case after finding Trump’s suit “comes nowhere close” to reaching the standard of actual malice.”

Trump’s lawsuit was utterly meritless from the start. Particularly the claim of $10 billion in damages. The birthday card, that Trump said didn’t exist, was later provided to Congress by the Epstein estate. In addition to his birthday greetings, Trump expressed his hopes for his good friend that “may every day be another wonderful secret.” Which is ultra creepy given everything we know now about Epstein and Trump.

Trump has already said that he plans to refile the suit. But his record of success in these matters should have persuaded him to let it go. Here are just a few of the outcomes of some earlier lawsuits…

  • A case against CNN for reporting about his “Big Lie” that he won the 2020 election was dismissed.
  • A case against Harvard University, who prevailed in litigation against Trump when he tried to withhold federal grants.
  • Harvard also won when Trump tried to block the enrollment of international students.
  • Several law firms won temporary restraining orders prohibiting Trump from punishing them for engaging in litigation against him.
  • Journalist Bob Woodward beat him in a suit where Trump sought to prohibit him from using audio tapes recorded during an interview.
  • A case against Hillary Clinton alleging that she lied in her campaign against him in 2016. Trump was ordered to pay Clinton nearly $1 million for legal fees.
  • And writer E. Jean Carroll scored about $90 million in a judgment against Trump for defamation in a suit involving his sexual abuse of her in a department store dressing room.

The Wall Street Journal was right to fight Trump’s legal harassment. The lesson that other victims should take from this is that if you fight Trump, you’re likely to win. Capitulating will get you nothing but more harassment, while exposing your weakness to Trump who will surely exploit it. And beating Trump’s malicious lawsuits has the added benefit of preserving the integrity of the defendant and gaining the respect of the nation.

Trump’s Outrage at Iran for Blockading Hormuz Has Driven Him to New Depths of Depravity

Posted by on April 12, 2026 at 2:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The peace talks between the United States and Iran that Donald Trump announced with such great fanfare, have already collapsed after only one day. Trump had predicted that they would lead to an agreement with Iran surrendering to his every demand.

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

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Instead, the war will continue indefinitely with Trump promising even more savage attacks and threats of war crimes that violate international law. In the meantime, Trump remains laser-focused on who he regards as America’s real enemies…

SEE THIS: Trump Unleashes a Manic Tirade Attacking Those He Says are America’s Greatest Enemy – Democrats?

The day after the charade of peace talks broke down, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to lash out with unbridled anger at Iran and pretty much the rest of the entire world that isn’t submitting to his divine will. He posted an interminably long comment that said in part that…

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. […] I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

These remarks contain a bucket load of bullpucky. Let’s break them down, shall we? To begin with, it is a pitiful demonstration of Trump’s derangement that he is complaining about Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz, and that his solution to that atrocity is blockade Hormuz himself. This is obviously a negotiating tactic that Trump learned from the movie Blazing Saddles…

Trump also made a point of threatening every ship that pays a toll to Iran to go through the Strait. That is a wide ranging threat that could impact much of the world including China, Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Greece, who have all already made agreements for safe passage. There is no evidence at the present time if those agreements included paying Iran. However, if Trump were to carry out his threat, it could expand the conflict to World War status by dragging countries like China and Russia into it. They would likely be very unhappy if the U.S. were to interdict their ships.

Another problem with this threat is that there is no way to know whether any nation has paid a toll to Iran. Particularly if the tolls are paid with cryptocurrency. Neither Iran nor the countries currently traversing the Strait have disclosed whether any funds were transferred.

There is also a glaring hypocrisy in Trump’s threat. After all, when tolls were previously brought up, he didn’t shy away from them. Rather, he simply said that he would make sure that the U.S. got a cut. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture,” Trump said. And that “It’s a beautiful thing.” What’s more, Trump still hasn’t explained how Iran could blockade the Strait since he insists that “Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone.”

So in response to an Iranian blockade, Trump threatens to make his own blockade, also threatens the world’s shipping trades, forgets his joint toll offer, and ignores his prior claims that Iran had been totally defeated. Is that the behavior of a “stable genius.” Trump doesn’t belong in the Strait of Hormuz. He belongs in a straight jacket.

AMERICA FIRST? Trump Promises To Use ‘The Economic Might of the US To Strengthen Hungary’s Economy’

Posted by on April 11, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The political centerpiece of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House has been the cheesy sloganeering that he stole from 1920s American fascists: “Make America Great Again.” That message presupposes that America wasn’t great to begin with. And Trump expanded that pessimistic point of view by insisting that he would always put “America First.”

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s promises with regard to his commitment to American supremacy are like all of his other promises. They are flimsy and unreliable and subject to being abandoned whenever they don’t advance his personal interests. And through it all Trump manages to imagine himself as a beloved leader that can do no wrong.

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

In the fourteen months since Trump returned to power he has plainly demonstrated his ignorance and incompetence. He has wrecked the economy with higher inflation due to his tariffs and idiotic trade policies. He has destroyed faith in the law with his invasions of U.S. cities by ICE thugs and persecution of political foes. And he has launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran.

So how does all of that translate into fulfilling Trump’s pledge of achieving American greatness? Obviously it does not. And Trump’s response to that record of abysmal failure is to spend millions of taxpayer dollars erecting tributes to himself, such as a vanity ballroom, an arch of triumph, and plastering his name and pumpkin-hued mug on everything from the Kennedy Center to U.S. currency.

Trump is engaging in a festival of ego-fluffing that is reminiscent of the totalitarian dictators that he idolizes and seeks to emulate. Among them are Russia’s Vladimir Putin, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán. The latter of which is lately on Trump’s mind due to the election on Sunday that he is predicted to lose.

Trump has given Orbán his “Complete and Total Endorsement.” He even sent his Vice-President, JD Vance, to Hungary last week to campaign for Orbán. And most recently Trump posted a supportive comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to buttress Orbán’s losing effort, saying that “My Administration stands ready to use the full Economic Might of the United States to strengthen Hungary’s Economy.”

Good to know. With everything that is going wrong in the U.S., Trump is focusing squarely on the political travails of a Hungarian authoritarian. And he’s using the “the full Economic Might” of the U.S. to bribe Hungarian voters to reelect someone that they clearly don’t want. Perhaps the American people would prefer that Might to be used to shore up America’s healthcare system, or resolve the homeless crisis, or improve education, or even just pay down the debt that Trump has exploded. But Trump has other priorities that include propping up his heroes.

MORE HERE: Trump Slobbers Over Hungarian Dictator Viktor Orbán, Whose Unchecked Power He Envies and Craves

For some background on Orbán, historian Timothy Snyder wrote an essay that summarizes much of the current obsession that Trump has with Orbán. He notes that Orbán is a subversive member of the European Union who often works to advance the interests of Europe’s enemies. Snyder wrote in part that…

“Viktor Orbán, the prime minister of Hungary, is a central figure in the international far right, and indeed the man, more than any other, who created the networks that normalized what he himself calls ‘illiberalism.’ Should he lose, as all signs indicate he will, this would be blow to far more familiar figures such as JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are Orbán’s pupils.” […]

“Orbán has done more than anyone else to generate negative propaganda about the European Union, treating it as a hostile enemy. […] His government opened EU territory to Russian and Chinese intelligence operations.”

There may, however, be a silver lining to the campaigning by Trump and Vance for Orbán. As reported by Newsweek…

“The likelihood Viktor Orbán winning Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary election has dropped since U.S. Vice President JD Vance made a speech endorsing him, according to the latest betting odds.”

Betting platforms Kalshi and Polymarket both show Orbán’s chances of winning have declined significantly since Trump’s endorsement and Vance’s visit. So maybe we should encourage Trump and company to do more campaigning for world leaders, and even for candidates here at home. His name is like poison to many voters.

UPDATE: Orbán not only lost, he lost big, with the winning Tisza Party gaining a supermajority in the Hungarian Parliament.

B*LLSH*T: Trump’s FCC Boss Lies That ‘The Pope is Calling out America’s Fake News’ – No He Isn’t!

Posted by on April 10, 2026 at 2:21 pm. 0 Comments :

The record of flagrant lying by Donald Trump has been well documented over the years. During his first occupation of the White House the Washington Post compiled more than 30,000 lies told by Trump in four years. Since his return to power he has exponentially increased that number.

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

Trump Lies

Trump appears determined to set new records in his second term. Not just for the quantity of lies, but also for the vast distant between his lying and reality. In recent days Trump has claimed that he won his illegal war with Iran weeks ago, despite continuing to fight it. He claims that the economy that he wrecked is the best ever. He brags that he has the highest approval ratings of any president. But even his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, isn’t buying most of that.

SEE THIS: Most Americans Are Fed Up With Trump’s Lies About Taxes and Spending According to Fox News Poll

On Friday Trump’s chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Brendan Carr, was on the podcast of Benny Johnson, an ultra rightist Trump-fluffer who is known to have been paid by Russian propaganda outlets. In the course of their discussion Carr, revealed some startling news about Pope Leo XIV…

“Today, I saw the Vatican called out U.S. news outlets for being fake news for running a false story about a Department of War meme. Even the Pope is calling out America’s fake news! This all flows from President Trump.”

FCC Chair Brendan Carr: "Today, I saw the Vatican called out US news outlets for being fake news for running a false story about a Department of War meme. Even the Pope is calling out America's fake news! This all flows from President Trump."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-04-10T15:01:44.245Z

First of all, it needs to be pointed out how ridiculous it is for Carr to be complaining about “fake news” as a guest on the podcast of a Kremlin stooge. And there is only one news network that was forced to pay nearly a billion dollars for lying – that’s Fox News.

More to the point, Carr is brazenly lying about what he claims that the Pope said. There is no evidence that the Pope “called out U.S. news outlets” regarding any memes referencing the Department of Defense (For the Record: There is no such thing as the Department of War). Carr’s claim that “the Pope is calling out America’s fake news” is itself fake news. It never happened, and Carr didn’t bother to cite his alleged source.

That’s not to say that the Pope has never spoken about the media. He has. But in a measured way that encompassed all of it without any partisan leanings. For instance, the Pope recently said that…

“Often, the proclamation of truth is obscured by what we today call “fake news” — lies, insinuations, and unfounded accusations. Yet, in the face of such obstacles, the truth does not remain hidden; rather, it comes forth to meet us, living and radiant, illuminating even the deepest darkness.”

Notice that there is no mention of American media or the Department of Defense in the Pope’s remarks. He is criticizing the broader, worldwide media environment, and advocating for greater attention to be paid to truth finding. Carr made up the rest. And he is using the Pope as a prop to advance his dishonest attacks on the free press. Instead, Carr ignores the Pope’s sharp criticisms of the corporate monoliths that control so much of the media, and that are run by Trump’s billionaire buddies. Such as when…

“…he warned about the danger of having a ‘handful of companies’ be in control of so much data and be able to ‘subtly influence behavior and even rewrite human history.'” […]

“Media and communication companies cannot allow algorithms designed to win the battle for a few extra seconds of attention at any cost to prevail over their professional values, which are aimed at seeking the truth.”

That said, Carr deserves some credit for admitting that “This all flows from President Trump.” Indeed it does. The Lyin’ King is the role model for the deceitful behavior of his flunkies. They follow his lead to lie shamelessly at every opportunity. But that can’t go on for long. So they should heed the the Pope’s warning that “the truth does not remain hidden.” In a very real sense, the truth is Trump’s enemy.

Most Americans Are Fed Up With Trump’s Lies About Taxes and Spending According to Fox News Poll

Posted by on April 9, 2026 at 2:08 pm. 0 Comments :

IT’S TAX TIME! And the American people are contemplating just how much they have suffered during the reoccupation of the White House by America’s most affluent authoritarian, Donald Trump. Despite his campaign promises to lower the cost of living on day one, to solve what he called an immigration crisis, and to refrain from starting any new wars, Trump has failed to fulfill a single pledge made after fourteen months in office.

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

Donald Trump

To the contrary, Americans are paying more for everything from groceries to gasoline to housing to healthcare. They have been terrorized in their own neighborhoods by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs. And the nation is currently embroiled in a reckless and illegal war against Iran that Trump has failed to coherently justify or provide an exit strategy for. No wonder his approval ratings are in the toilet. Even according to recent polls by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

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

Trump isn’t a big fan of polls that don’t show him as adoringly worshipped by 110% majorities of the people. And he has been critical of Fox News for occasionally publishing polls that reveal his weaknesses. So expect him to be in a foul mood if his nursemaids show him the latest survey from Fox News that asked voters what they think of their tax burdens since he returned to office. According to Fox News…

“With the deadline to file taxes a week away, a record number of voters say their taxes are too high, according to the latest Fox News Poll. They are also bothered by the rich not paying their fair share and how the government uses their money. In addition, three-quarters feel government spending is wasteful — up almost 20 points since last year. […] A record 70% of voters think the taxes they pay are too high — up 11 points from last March and surpassing the previous high of 64% in March 2024.”

These are abysmal numbers that reflect Trump’s ignorance, as well as the deliberate malevolence of his policies. He never intended to serve the interests of the average American. He was always focused solely on enriching himself and his billionaire buddies. So, mission accomplished. Consequently, these results shouldn’t surprise anyone.

The respondents to this survey cannot be dismissed as simply being whining malcontents who would complain about their taxes whatever they were. They are having valid reactions to the reality that they are encountering. Their dissatisfaction is borne out in a recent study by the non-partisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that found that…

“President Trump has raised taxes on most Americans in ways that more than offset the tax cuts he has signed into law. The net effect this year of all his tax policies is to increase taxes on the average American in all income groups aside from the richest 5 percent.” […]

“For a large majority of Americans, the tax increase resulting from Trump’s tariffs, along with the ending of the health care tax credits, more than offsets any tax cuts provided by OBBBA (One Big Beautiful Bill Act).”

Additional findings in the Fox News poll reveal that “What bothers people most about federal income taxes is the wealthy are not paying enough,” and that “Disapproval of how President Trump is handling taxes has reached a record high of 64%, up 11 points from a year ago.” Also, while three-quarters of Democrats, Republicans, and independents say that “a significant share of government spending is wasteful and inefficient,” for some reason 69% of Republicans rate Trump positively for his handling of government waste. That is in contrast to “nearly all Democrats (90%) and a large majority of independents (80%) [who say he] is not doing a good job.”

None of this augers well for Trump and his MAGA Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. Most analysts are now predicting that Democrats will likely end up with majorities in both the House and the Senate. In other words, Trump’s taxation may result in better representation. And if that happens, Trump and his MAGA comrades will be facing political and legal accountability in – as Trump would say – levels they have never seen before.

Trump Lies and Threatens CNN Over a Story He Falsely Claims Was Fake News From Nigeria About Iran

Posted by on April 8, 2026 at 3:43 pm. 1 Comments :

Now that Trump has claimed victory over Iran – after repeatedly claiming imaginary victories in the past six weeks – he is bragging about how masterful his negotiating skills are that led to this outcome. Never mind that the alleged ceasefire that Trump is touting is already reported to have been broken, and that few if any of his demands have been met.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

True to form, Trump is laser focused on on the facade of leadership that he seeks to present. He has always been more interested in appearances than substantive results. And to that end, he is reverting to his standard operating procedure of bashing the free press should they report anything about him that is less than gushingly adoring. In his diseased mind, he must be worshiped at all times, and at all costs…

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

The ceasefire deal that Trump claims to have struck will supposedly reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before the reckless and illegal war that he started. Only now it will be controlled by Iran who will be charging fees to pass through it. Iran will also get sanctions relief in this deal, and their oil will be selling for much more on the global markets. And all it cost the United States was a few billion dollars and thousands of innocent Iranian lives, as well as thirteen American troops.

Trump proudly posted a comment announcing the deal on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that, subject to Iran agreeing, he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.” Because everything that Trump does happens (or more accurately, doesn’t happen) in a two week span, from revealing his healthcare plan to releasing the Epstein files. This time he’s reneging his prior promise that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Then, in pursuit of more surface level adulation, Trump lashed out at CNN for publishing a story about the ceasefire. Naturally, Trump’s position contained an abundance of anger and a litany of lies. He wrote that “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD,” and made a bizarre charge, without any evidence, that “The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria).” But then he elaborated with an overt, albeit impotent, threat…

“Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible ‘reporting.’ Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

So Trump is seeking to criminally prosecute CNN for publishing a story that he doesn’t like. And furthermore, he is “ordering” them to retract the story and apologize to him. That is the tyrannical behavior of a confirmed fascist who thinks that he has the right to dominate the press. Which is nothing new for Trump.

MORE HERE: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

For the record, CNN is standing by their story. They claim that it is well sourced and accurate. As reported by Deadline…

“CNN is defending its reporting on the statement. A spokesperson said, ‘The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us.'”

To make matters worse, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, joined in the attack on CNN. Without conducting any investigation or research, Carr charged that CNN’s conduct was “outrageous,” and that they were “pushing out a hoax headline,” and that “this requires accountability.”

So Carr is also threatening CNN, even though he has no authority over cable news networks. He closed with an ominous taunt that it is “Time for change at CNN.” [Note: Trump’s billionaire pals David and Larry Ellison are in the process of acquiring Warner Bros/Discovery, which also owns CNN]

This sort of government bullying of the media is what you might expect to see in dictatorships like Russia and North Korea. But considering that those countries are run by Trump’s idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he is emulating their totalitarian tactics. Hopefully, he will be stopped by a new Democratic Congress and the American people who cherish freedom.

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

Posted by on April 7, 2026 at 12:27 pm. 0 Comments :

The “Little Excursion” that Donald Trump took to Iran is turning out to be much more of catastrophic detour than he – or anyone else – could have imagined. Despite his insistence that the war would be short, and that he won it weeks ago, it has escalated into a conflagration that threatens millions of innocent people.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

There are numerous cognitive contradictions in Trump’s diarhetorical outbursts regarding this mission. In addition to Trump’s claim of victory, while continuing to fight, he has said that he is fighting for the Iranian people’s freedom, while slaughtering thousands of them; he has said that the United States doesn’t need any help from Europe, while blasting them for not helping; he has said that the Strait of Hormuz would be easily opened, while unleashing ever more hyperbolic threats if Iran doesn’t open it immediately. He really seems to have no idea what’s going on or what to do.

As a result of his confusion and ignorance, Trump is lashing out wildly. On Tuesday morning he posted a horrific comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that upped the ante of his unhinged antagonism, warning that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Trump's threat to Iran saying that "A whole civilization will die tonight," is more of the grotesquely INSANE babbling of a psychopathic monster bent on genocide.He must not be allowed to carry out that threat. He shouldn't even be able make it without severe legal consequences

That sort of bombastic derangement is obviously intolerable. It adds to his prior advocacy of war crimes wherein he called for civilian infrastructure in Iran (power plants, bridges, etc.) to be destroyed. It ought to trigger immediate actions to remove Trump from office by either impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Those actions would require Trump’s Cabinet and/or the Congress to stand up. And while Democratic members of Congress are doing so, those remain difficult solutions at present.

Unfortunately, Trump’s “Justice” Department isn’t going to be any help in the pursuit of justice. Trump has managed to transform the DoJ into an arm of his personal defense law firm. And although he recently fired his bootlicking Attorney General, Pam Bondi, the “acting” Attorney General, Todd Blanche, may be even worse. During a Tuesday morning press conference, he was asked about the war crimes that Trump has been accused of…

Reporter: A number of military and legal scholars have raised questions about bombing a nation’s bridges and energy infrastructure as a possible war crime. What is DOJ’s analysis of that position, and could you give us a sense what you are advising for the White House?
Blanche: The Department of Justice, as it always does, supports the Department of War [which doesn’t exist], the White House, the Department of State, and our intelligence communities…we provide counsel to them and we have been doing that.

Well, that clears that up, doesn’t it? Blanche was asked what his advice would be for Trump, and he responding by saying that he gives Trump advice. Gee thanks.

The matter of war crimes is hardly a question at this point. There are no credible legal analysts who would dispute that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would be grossly illegal, as well as immoral. And the negligence of Blanche and others in the administration make them just as culpable for the crimes as Trump.

It is precisely for situations like these that several members of Congress produced a video a few months ago to remind military personnel that they are obligated by law to refuse to follow unlawful orders. And now that Trump is floating such orders, it is imperative that he not be allowed to proceed. This is so plainly evident that even former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sounding the alarm…

Trump Admits Gross Failures Arming Protesters in Iran and to Slaughtering Defenseless Iranians

Posted by on April 6, 2026 at 12:39 pm. 2 Comments :

The United States is entering week six of what Donald Trump calls the “little excursion” into Iran, and for which he declared victory a few hours after it began. In the interim thirteen American soldiers were killed, and thousands of Iranian civilians, including children whose school was bombed.

Donald Trump

Now Trump is continuing to insist that he will press forward with even more aggressive assaults and is explicitly promising to commit war crimes in his psychopathic fixation to “obliterate” Iran. The lunacy of Trump’s obsession is impossible to ignore. And, of course, Trump seems to make matters worse every time he opens his mouth.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Discloses Clandestine Mission to Arm Iranian Protesters in Fox News Interview

After making some of the most grotesquely disturbing remarks since the war began (such as “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell”), Trump is escalating his diarhetorical bombast. In comments to the press during his deranged White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump was asked a rather obvious question that he has bungled in previous attempts to answer…

Reporter: You said Iran has been obliterated, why are we still at war then?
Trump: They can’t fight back. They have no capability. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left but essentially, they have no capability. They had a lucky shot with an airplane.

To be clear, Trump is confessing that his military mission in Iran is currently engaged in slaughtering defenseless civilians. If an enemy actually can’t fight back, it’s time to cease offensive tactics and transition to asserting a dominant role over the remnants of the enemy’s government. Instead, Trump is threatening even more harsh tactics including a genocidal threat that “The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night.” What is the purpose of such a threat against an enemy that has no capability to resist, other than sadistic gratification?

What’s more, Trump also told reporters at the Easter affair about a plan to arm Iranian dissidents that he admits ended in total failure.

“We sent to some guns. But the group that we were supposed to give – which I said would happen to my people. I said…I called it exactly – We sent guns. A lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them. Cause they said ‘What a beautiful gun. I think I’ll keep it.’ So I am very upset with a certain group of people and they will pay a big price.”

Here Trump is revealing that he presided over a plan that he opposed, and that he claims to have told his staff wouldn’t work. And he’s bragging that he was right about it. But he nevertheless approved it and that it did indeed fail. He must be so proud.

So now there are “a lot of guns” from America circulating around in Iran in the hands of people that were not intended to get them. Although he didn’t say, it is likely Kurdish dissidents. But it’s okay, because Trump is “very upset” with them. How that helps the Iranian people remains a mystery.

All of this is happening as Trump has given a 48 hour deadline (24 hours ago) for Iran to comply with his demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz, that Trump has variously claimed wasn’t necessary, would open up by itself, or would result in Iran “living in Hell” if they didn’t open it.

The flagrant contradictions in Trump’s yammering reflect the diseased mind of psychopath with no respect for international law, morality, or human life. And yet, his disciples in Congress, the MAGA media, and a tiny but loud faction of the public, continue to follow him. Because that’s the nature of a cult. And in this case, a death cult.
