Trump Hypes a Phony ‘Census Bureau’ Report that He Says Proves He Won the 2020 Election

Posted by on August 21, 2026 at 4:00 pm. 1 Comments :

Apparently Donald Trump has concluded that the prospects for Republicans winning the midterm election in November is a lost cause. And according to the most recent polls, he’s right. So he’s giving up on that and pivoting to a different election that he also lost, but whose defeat he has been unable to accept.

Donald Trump

With Trump’s approval ratings in the toilet, and projections for Congress that show that Democrats are favored to win majorities in the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate as well, Trump is shifting his attention back to the 2020 presidential election that he lost to President Biden. It’s an obsession that has consumed Trump’s feeble consciousness for six years now. And he isn’t letting it go. In fact, he’s making it worse…

SEE THIS: REALLY? Trump’s Source for ‘Tremendous Evidence’ of Election Fraud is MyPillow Kook Mike Lindell?

In pursuit of his fantasy, Trump recently posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, an announcement of new “evidence” that he prevailed in 2020, and that the election was “rigged and stolen” from him. The post said that…

“”The Census Bureau has begun checking the Voter Records from 2020 against their Citizenship Records. On the first 128,000,000 Voters, the Census Bureau proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally! The Census Bureau is going to analyze the next 32,000,000 Voters, and this number will explode. I WON THE ELECTION! We must pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

There is nothing but lies in that comment. Beginning with Trump’s claim that it was a Census Bureau study that “proves that over 24,000 Noncitizens voted illegally!” As reported by NPR, the Census Bureau had nothing to do with it. Instead, it was the product of a pro-Trump think tank whose methodology and conclusions are regarded as “questionable” by experts. According to NPR…

NPR: “Work on the analysis was not conducted by career civil servants at the Census Bureau, and the team behind it included individuals affiliated with the America First Policy Institute, a think tank started by officials from Trump’s first administration, according to a Census Bureau employee who NPR has agreed not to name because they fear retaliation at work.”

SURPRISE! Trump is lying about a "Census Bureau" report that he says "proves" widespread illegal voting by non-U.S. citizens.But it was actually produced by a pro-Trump think tank, and experts say it "is questionable in its methodology and conclusions."www.npr.org/2026/08/19/n…

Although the source of Trump’s data is entirely bogus, it was nice of them to concede that, even in their unreliable estimation, there was an insignificant amount of alleged non-citizen voting. 24,000 out of 128,000,000 comes to about 0.0187% of the total. So even if there were that many ineligible voters – and there is no evidence that there were – that’s not anywhere near enough to have any impact on the outcome of the election. It would likely represent only discrepancies by voters whose citizenship status wasn’t updated in the records, or routine computer errors.

The New York Times also published a story that affirmed the findings of NPR. Their story focused on data from Nevada, where officials with the Department of Homeland Security were unable to substantiate the ineligible voter claims.

“The administration claimed to have identified 278,000 noncitizens registered to vote in four states, including an exact number of 15,903 in Nevada. But during a meeting last week with state election administrators, Homeland Security officials said they had identified just 185 potential noncitizens in the state so far, according to emails as well as recordings of the meeting obtained by The New York Times.”

Once again, that’s a tiny fraction [0.0665%] of the registered voter base in Nevada. And it refers to only “potential” non-citizen voters. So the actual total is likely even less.

This is typical of how Trump and his regime endeavors to perpetuate his lies. They exploit and misrepresent reliable data sources, but distort them with manufactured data to deceive their already ill-informed and gullible MAGA cult disciples. And while it may work on their tiny target audience, the vast majority of Americans are smarter than that. Which explains why Trump and the GOP are so desperately failing.

Finally, here is a concise summary of this situation by Amanda Carpenter of Protect Democracy:

Sean Hannity Unloads a Laughably Lame Defense of Nepo-Sister Darline Graham Nordone

Posted by on August 20, 2026 at 3:32 pm. 0 Comments :

The fight for majority control of the Senate is getting more intense with each passing day. And while the Democratic prospects are improving, Republicans are becoming more desperate and driven by panic. Recent projections show that a Democratic Senate majority is the more likely outcome in November.

Fox News Sean Hannity

These projections are driving Republicans crazy – or crazier. They are resorting to bizarre campaign themes that reanimate the “red scare” tactics of the 1950s when fear mongering about communists around every corner was popular with the GOP. And it gets even worse than that on Donald Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News is OUTRAGED that Democrats are So Good Looking – No, REALLY!

Wednesday night’s episode of Sean Hannity’s program featured a segment wherein Hannity brought in the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate in South Carolina, Darline Graham Nordone, sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. She was fresh off of a humiliating debate performance with her Republican primary opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, where she was asked a straightforward question about U.S. policy toward Taiwan and babbled that…

“I’m not that informed on national security…so…but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. I’m not a polished politician up here. National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise.”

Okay then. National security isn’t her thing. It isn’t Trump’s thing either, and look at how well that’s turned out. But her problem isn’t that she’s unpolished. It’s that she’s uninformed. And the fact that her family has served in the military doesn’t mean that she has absorbed their knowledge telepathically. Despite what Hannity thinks…

Hannity: I bet based on all your time with your brother, that you know probably everything about the Middle East because he went on one trip after another to every country in the Middle East. And I know you know a lot about Europe and the Ukraine-Russia situation because he went to Ukraine more than any other senator. […]
Graham Nordone: Absolutely. I know national security is important. We have a wonderful commander in chief.

SERIOUSLY? Graham Nordone agrees “absolutely” with Hannity that she knows “everything about the Middle East” and Europe and Ukraine, because her brother had been there. That’s a pretty low bar. And judging by her remarks, she doesn’t even get over that.

Graham Nordone addressed a few other other subjects during this interview. For instance, she said that she’s concerned about what voters in South Carolina are concerned about, and that “They’re concerned about boys in girls’ sports.” Yeah, that’s probably number one on their priority list. Never mind the war in Iran, or how they are struggling to pay for groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, etc.

She also said that she wants to serve the 50 million people in South Carolina, where there are actually only 5.4 million people. And she opposes DEI, despite being an appointed sister of a senator, who has zero relevant knowledge or experience. And she supports Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). Even though, if it were passed, she wouldn’t be allowed to vote without jumping through some legal hoops because her legal married name doesn’t match the name on her birth certificate.

There is a runoff for the Republican nomination for this seat next week, where she is facing Rep. Norman. If she makes it past that, she will face the Democratic nominee, Dr. Annie Andrews, a truly impressive and qualified candidate who deserves your support. Although she doesn’t appear to have any siblings from whom she could magically divine knowledge. So Hannity and his ilk might consider that a drawback.

Fox News is OUTRAGED that Democrats are So Good Looking – No, REALLY!

Posted by on August 19, 2026 at 2:46 pm. 2 Comments :

The 2026 midterm election season is upon us and it is bringing out a severe bout of desperation from Donald Trump and his Republican confederates. Most polls show that the American people are fed up with Trump’s mishandling of the economy, the war in Iran, immigration, democracy, and virtually every other major issue.

Fox News Sad

With less than two and half months until election day, the Republicans’ standings in the polls are deeply deflated. The GOP (Greedy One Percent) is struggling to devise a plausible argument for anyone to vote for them. The only things that they have come up with so far is to accuse all Democrats of being communists, and that the GOP is led by His MAGA-sty Trump. Whose standings, irrespective of his narcissistic imagination, are even worse.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

In the midst of this right-wing electoral catastrophe, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) is coming to the rescue with a brilliant plan to turn the tide in favor of the MAGA-tists. On the Wednesday morning episode of “Outnumbered” co-host Ainsley Earhardt (Sean Hannity’s fiancé) introduced a line of attack that will surely crush Democratic hopes of success in November. She said that…

“[Democratic senatorial candidate Abdul] El-Sayed is out in these tight T shirts. You have AOC with her pretty smile. She’s beautiful. She’s got the red lipstick. You have Mamdani. Always smiling. Always seemingly positive. But it doesn’t make their philosophy any less dangerous, right? You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.”

Yeah, that’s the ticket. Fox News has devolved to the point where they are trying to persuade their already ignorant audience not to vote for Democrats because they are so good looking. Not only does that contradict their previous claims that all Democrats are ugly, but it also ignores their own infatuations. Following Earhardt’s rant, her colleague, Kayleigh McEnany, added that “Socialism notwithstanding, I’m told Mamdani is really good looking in person.” Control yourselves ladies.

Earhardt doesn’t bother to go into the policies that she says are “dangerous.” Policies like Medicare for All; lower prices for gas, groceries, housing, etc.; comprehensive immigration reform that respects human rights; preserving the environment; holding political crooks accountable; and protecting democratic values and the Constitution. All of which are broadly popular with most Americans. But to Earhardt, her viewers “are not educated enough to know that socialism doesn’t work.”

Guest panelist Todd Piro affirmed Earhardt’s commentary with his own analysis that wasn’t much more than the pot calling the kettle vacuous. And he still didn’t have an answer to the political beauty gap – A contest that their Dear leader Trump, a morbidly obese, orange makeup wearing, octogenarian, would lose in a landslide. Piro said that…

“In a generation we have gone from “Which politician do you want to have a beer with?” to “Which politician do you want to hook up with?” This just shows the vacuousness of social media culture. And the Democrats using it shows the vacuousness of their policies. There’s no meat behind them. It’s all about looks. It’s all about the shiny facade.”

Once again, Piro deliberately avoided presenting the “meat” of the Democratic policies because he knows that people will approve of them. It is not a coincidence that most surveys show that Democrats are favored to win a majority in the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate as well, so that they can implement their policies.

Of course, Democrats will not have a clear path to legislative victories, Trump will surely veto almost anything that they pass. But it’s still a useful exercise that gets every member on the record. Their votes will have an impact on the 2028 election for Congress and the presidency. And in the meantime, Democrats will be able to enforce some oversight and accountability for the ethical and criminal acts of Trump and his GOP minions. And they will look really good doing it.

New Trump Campaign Slogan: The Economy is Doing Unbelievably From the Standpoint of Wall Street

Posted by on August 14, 2026 at 3:11 pm. 1 Comments :

Democrats are excitedly anticipating the upcoming midterm elections. Every poll shows them winning a majority in the House of Representatives, and likely in the Senate as well. Meanwhile, Republicans are suffering from one of the lowest public approval ratings in modern history.

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

Trump Penthouse Phone

The dismal prospects for the GOP (Greedy One Percent) are driven by the record low ratings for their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. He is hovering around the mid-to-low thirties, and trending even lower. Republican candidates are desperately trying to convince voters that everything is hunky dory, and their financial burdens are figments of their imaginations. The MAGA Party seems to be running on a reprise of the “red scare” tactics of the 1950s when there were communists lurking around every corner.

SEE THIS: BE AFRAID! Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Warns Fox News About Imaginary Marxist Democrats

Apparently the communism fear mongering hasn’t been getting the results they hoped for. So now Trump is trying out a new campaign theme that is virtually guaranteed to be even worse. In a Friday morning press gaggle, Trump told reports that…

“I have a lot of things that are happening. A lot of good things. The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.”

HOORAY! Things are going fantastically well for Wall Street. So if you are a big corporation, or someone with investments in them, you’re on Easy Street. If not, stop your whining and be happy for your capitalist overlords who are generously trickling down on you with minimum wage jobs under slave-like conditions.

After all, the corporatist moguls know what’s best for the little people. And Trump is their messiah. He truly understands what it’s like to struggle through these difficult times. Just listen to what he told his MAGA cult rally in Uniondale on Long Island, New York today…

“I just say this: For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline, just remember…you’re at $4.00 – it’s okay. I’ll never apologize. I did the right thing.”

SEE? It’s OK for YOU to pay a little more (actually about 30% more) for gas (and for groceries, and housing, and healthcare, etc.). So why are you complaining? And Trump, whose incompetence, negligence, and greed are responsible for it all, will never apologize. Because a messiah is infallible and never does anything wrong.

Trump’s stewardship of the economy has been a flaming fiasco. He has increased inflation, exploded the deficit, and cut services for everything from food for low income families, to medicine for seniors, to education and more. And in the meantime he is spending hundreds of millions on ballrooms and statues, and billions on gift jets from Qatar and illegal wars.

So let’s it y’all: “The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” And “It’s OK to pay more for gas.” Put that message on some red hats. Have some posters printed up. And be sure to vote in November. Which really, REALLY, can’t come soon enough.

Trump Mulls Declaring a National Emergency to Rig Elections, Says ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’

Posted by on August 11, 2026 at 3:17 pm. 0 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump and his Republican confederates continues to multiply like measles in MAGAville. With the midterm elections drawing nearer, Trump and the cult that worships him recognize the abysmal prospects of their electoral future.

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

Through it all, Trump manages to maintain an impressive degree of delusion. Despite every poll showing his approval ratings at record lows, he insists that he is enjoying historic levels of popularity. Every day he posts multiple comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, saying that he’s never been more beloved.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Trump’s departure from reality is more than just an old man dwelling in a senile stupor. He still occupies the White House, with all of the powers that go along with it. And his exercise of those powers has never been marked by intelligence, reason, or respect for the law, even when his mental faculties were marginally functional.

On Tuesday morning Trump did another phone-in interview with a shamelessly sycophantic Trump-fluffer and conspiracy crackpot, Wayne Allen Root, who hosts a program on a MAGA media website. Root raised the topic of the imminent elections and sought Trump’s opinion on a dangerously unlawful and anti-American proposal.

Root: Let me put an idea in your head OK. Because it’s so hard to get the Senate to do anything now, they’re at recess, they don’t get anything done. If they never get the Save America Act done, you have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections. And the Supreme Court ruled in 1983, under Reagan…that if you declare a national security emergency as the president of the United States, they can’t challenge it. It can only be overturned by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress. So if you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship and a limit to mail-in ballots.
Trump: Let me just say stranger things have happened. I’ll leave it at that.

Root’s advocacy for Trump declaring a “national security emergency for elections” is preposterous. No such authority exists. Particularly by way of Root’s absolutely asinine suggestion that the declaration would be justified if the Senate failed to pass Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). The inability of a partisan Congress to pass a bill favored by an aspiring totalitarian president is not a national emergency.

To the contrary, the Constitution gives the states sole authority over administering elections. And the “National Emergencies Act” does not supersede the Constitution or suspend of any of its provisions during a declared emergency. So even if an emergency were declared, it wouldn’t give Trump the right to impose voting regulations (i.e. photo ID, proof of citizenship, limit mail-in ballots) on the states. More detail here.

Furthermore, Congress does have the power to terminate a national emergency by passing a joint resolution to do so. Although that resolution would require the president’s signature. If the president vetoes the resolution, Congress can override it with a two-thirds supermajority in both houses. That’s a high bar, but not impossible when considering the stakes. After all, Trump has majorities in both houses of Congress now, but still can’t get his Voter Suppression law passed.

Failing that, the emergency declaration can also be terminated by state governments, businesses, or affected individuals who can sue in federal court if they believe the declaration exceeds statutory or constitutional limits. And contrary to Root’s claim, the Supreme Court can strike down actions tied to an alleged emergency if the president oversteps their authority.

While the prospects of a national emergency declaration by Trump to take over elections should not be dismissed, neither should they feed irrational anxieties and fear. There are still guardrails available in the legislative and judicial branches of government that would defeat Trump’s tyrannical aspirations.

It is worrisome enough that Trump even entertains this idea with flippant comments that “stranger things have happened.” And because Trump and his MAGA-tist cult are open to such breaches of the Constitution, the rest of us must remain vigilant and committed to preserving American democracy and the principles that sustain it.

Remember When Trump Swore He’d Sign No Bills Until After His ‘Save America Act’ – Guess What?

Posted by on August 8, 2026 at 3:30 pm. 0 Comments :

If there is one thing that Donald Trump can be relied upon for, it’s being completely unreliable. His word is his bond to renege on whatever he said and do something else entirely that he thinks is in his best interest at the time. That’s true whether he’s talking to voters, reporters, Republicans, or even wartime adversaries in Iran.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s erratic tendencies make it impossible to predict what he will be fixating on at any given time. One moment he will be laser-focused on obliterating Iran, and the next he will be bragging about his ballroom/military center. Lately he has been obsessed with passing his “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). Although he can’t manage to get it passed through persuasion, so he resorts to threats and insults. He recently raged that “Only sick, demented, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.”

SEE THIS: IN A PANIC Trump Threatens GOP to Pass His Anti-Voting Act, Because His ‘Reasons’ Are Pure BS

Today marks the five month anniversary of Trump promising that he wouldn’t sign any bill that comes to his desk from Congress unless they have sent him the Voter Suppression bill first. On March 8, Trump swore that “It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.”

You’ll never guess what happened since then. To no one’s surprise, Trump has signed at least 25 bills into law without having signed the Voter Suppression law first. It is driving the 80 year old toddler nuts that he hasn’t been able to get his way, despite putting tremendous pressure on his fellow Republicans, especially Senate GOP leader, John Thune. But he just doesn’t have the votes, even among Republicans.

Trump has been pushing Thune to terminate the Senate filibuster in order to get his anti-voting bill passed. But he doesn’t have the GOP votes for that either. That hasn’t stopped him from shelling out some preposterous warnings about what will happen if Republicans don’t ditch the filibuster. First of all, Trump insists that Democrats will do it first thing if/when they regain a majority in the Senate. After which…

“The Dumocrats will [by making D.C. and Puerto Rico states] gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!”

REALLY? Trump has previously said that his Voter Suppression bill would “result in Republicans never losing for the next 50 years.” Which is not exactly an argument for free and fair elections. But now Trump is actually working to motivate Democratic voters? Good to know!

OH NOES!!!? More Democrats in Congress?? Fair elections?? A balanced Supreme Court?? And no more crooked Republican presidents?Trump is so SCARED of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed that he has issued a "warning" that most Americans will cheer and work hard to achieve. LFG!

Delusional Trump Whines that Americans are ‘Angry at Republicans, But They’re Not Angry At Me’

Posted by on August 7, 2026 at 3:01 pm. 4 Comments :

It is becoming immensely more challenging every day for Donald Trump and his propaganda factory to make up new excuses for the rapidly escalating animosity that is felt by the American people for him and his MAGA cult. And with the midterm elections approaching, Trump’s political descent will leave him flapping pitifully in his Deflecting Pool for the next two years as the lamest of ducks.

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

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Trump seems to have no awareness of the severity of his situation. He refuses to modify his behaviors or his campaign strategies that are alienating voters. To the contrary, he is tripling down on policies that ignore the real concerns of the American people, in favor of his reckless war mongering, his ego-fluffing projects, his illegal self-enrichment, and his oblivious lies about how universally beloved he is.

SEE THIS: TRUMP: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Needless to say, the “REAL Polling Numbers” that Trump is referencing exist only in his cartoon brain. He somehow continues to believe that the world adores him and any bad feelings are attributable to someone or something else. That delusion was reiterated on Friday during an interview with Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News (video below), wherein Trump whined that…

“The question is – and they’re asking this question, and I’ve had some great polls recently, real polls, but they’re great polls – If I don’t run will those people go out and vote? And that’s the one thing I can’t tell. I’m gonna ask them to. But I’m just watching guys like you, and you’re very talented people. The question is will they vote? Cause a lot of them are very angry, at Republicans to be honest with you. They’re angry at Republicans, but they’re not angry at me.”

Let’s set aside Trump’s unconstitutional implication that he could run for president again. He can’t. And if he were to try he would be laughed out of the court and the country. The crux of his commentary is his preposterous belief that the American people are only angry with his MAGA Republicans, but certainly not him.

Of course, today’s Republican Party has devolved to such an extent that they are too cowardly and weak to have any opinions of their own. They are wholly controlled by Trump, and they unwaveringly support everything he does and says. So how could people be angry at Republicans without also being angry at the sole source of everything that they do and say?

What’s more, Trump’s total rejection of reality was also confirmed in new polling reported by CNN’s Chief Data Analyst, Harry Enten. He noted that a key group of Trump’s MAGA supporters are ditching the MAGA cult movement.

“The MAGA movement was built among the working class, non-college Americans…Back on October of 2024, on the plus side of the ledger, positive, plus six points…Look at this movement now. Minus 22 points. That is a shift of 28 points…They are shifting away and saying ‘We don’t like MAGA anymore.’ […]

“Maybe they’ve soured on MAGA but they haven’t soured on Trump? Aint the truth…In the 2024 election he won them by 13 points…But look at this now. Minus 19 points…This is a 32 point shift away from the president…’Adios, goodbye Mr. President, We don’t like you anymore.'”

Enten also pointed out that Democrats in Congress have gained significantly over Republicans with this group. So the American people are sick and tired of MAGA, of Republicans, and most of all, of Trump. And no matter how much he tries to pretend that he is the venerated messiah of MAGA-tism, he remains a pathetic loser desperately clinging to a psychotic illusion of idolatry.

Trump Goes Full Democratic Socialist Condemning Greedy Oil Companies for Gouging Consumers

Posted by on August 4, 2026 at 2:38 pm. 0 Comments :

As the midterm elections in November draw nearer, the desperation of Donald Trump and the Republican Party is spreading faster than an outbreak of measles at RFK Jr’s kiddie pool party. Every recent poll shows that Democrats are likely to come away with a majority in the House of Representatives, and have a good chance of doing the same in the Senate.

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

Donald Trump with Earth, Globe, warming, climate change

Ordinarily a party that is running as far behind as the GOP would reconsider their campaign strategy in order to appeal to a broader base of the electorate. But in this case the MAGA Republicans are so beholden to Trump and his unique brand of derangement that they are falling in line with his plan to alienate as many voters as possible by ignoring their needs and focusing on endless wars, vanity projects, and enriching himself. And Trump seems to think that his plan is working.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

However, in a peculiar departure from his routine, Trump appears to have adopted some of the platform of the Democratic Party, and more specifically, the policies of progressive Democratic Socialists. In response to a question about the record profits recently reported by Exxon and Chevron, Trump replied that…

“They’re making too much money, based on a shortage, They’re making too much money. I don’t like it. And I should be the last one to say it because I’m a big free enterprise guy, nobody bigger. And you’re gonna see oil, when we’re finished with Iran, you’re gonna see the prices drop through the floor.

“But they made too much money. Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. When you look at one company, where they made 12 times what they made the year before, they ought to give some of that back to the public. And they better cut the retail price, the consumer price.”

Trump on oil companies gouging consumers:"They're making too much money…and they ought to give some of that back to the public…and they better cut the retail price."When Democrats say this Fox News and MAGA – and Trump – scream "COMMUNISTS!"

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-08-04T10:05:28.615Z

Trump is right. The oil companies are reporting record profits. And it isn’t just because the price of oil has gone up due to Trump’s illegal war against Iran. If prices were only rising due to supply issues, their profits would would remain stable. But they are raising their prices so much that they are generating higher profits, even while people are driving less because they can’t afford the gas. As reported by USA Today…

“ExxonMobil and Chevron last week reported massive second-quarter profits as a result of the war. ExxonMobil said it made $14.5 billion between April 1 through June, up from $7.1 billion in profits during the same time period in 2025. Chevron posted $12 billion in second-quarter profits, a 380% increase over the company’s $2.5 billion in earnings during the second quarter of 2025.”

Accusing corporations of gouging consumers, and calling on them to lower their prices to generate reasonable levels of profit, has long been the policy of Democrats. And whenever Democrats proposed it, Republicans – including Trump – would condemn them as socialists and/or communists. But now that Democratic Socialists are understandably appealing to an ever greater proportion of the electorate, Trump is trying to grab some of that glory for himself.

It’s not going to work. Trump and his MAGA-tist Party have been lambasting Democrats over this for far too long. They can’t just slither in and pretend that they have been for this all along. And by trying to fool the American people this way, he is just letting them know how stupid he thinks they are.

Although Trump himself has been leaning toward some of the worst aspects communism for months. He is the one who has been implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, and forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government. His mentor, Vladimir Putin, must be so proud.

Trump and company are still, however, opposed to all of the best parts of the Democratic Socialist agenda, which are broadly popular and in the mainstream of American politics. They including things like Social Security, interstate highways, public libraries, Obamacare, and more. And if you need further proof of the Trumpian hypocrisy, check out his comment today on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he is advocating on behalf of oil companies and the fossil fuel industry so that they can gouge even more profits from struggling Americans…

Trump posted an insane, 27 multi-threaded post on Truth Social of a 7 month old op-ed with the 20 "best" actions he took in 2025.They were all either lies or never actually happened. But this one was particularly ridiculous. He's bragging about things he did to destroy the environment.

MAGA Mike Johnson is ‘Confident’ Republicans Will Win the Midterms Because ‘This is a God Thing’

Posted by on July 27, 2026 at 2:48 pm. 2 Comments :

The second term of Donald Trump is proving to be an even bigger failure than the first. The economy is in decline. The nation is embroiled in another quagmire in the Middle East. But Trump and his MAGA Republican Party is honed in on the upcoming midterm elections with a set of brilliant campaign strategies that are certain to deliver a historic victory – for Democrats.

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

Trump and the GOP are desperately afraid of their electoral prospects. So they are focusing squarely on the issues that are most popular with voters. Such as fighting a war in Iran, building vanity ballrooms, trying to rig elections by gerrymandering and suppressing voters, pardoning felons, enriching themselves through tax cuts and corruption, protecting pedophiles, and calling Democrats communists.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His Midterm Election Theme: ‘If The Communists Get In You’ll Never Fish Again’

The Republican’s congressional figurehead, House Squeaker MAGA Mike Johnson, is taking the lead in his party’s crusade to retain power. In pursuit of that goal Johnson appeared on “This Week on Capitol Hill,” a program on the ultra conservative Salem News Channel that is hosted by Tony Perkins, the president of the religious right-wing Family Research Council. During that interview Johnson revealed his secret weapon for winning the midterms…

Johnson: The American people can trust House Republicans, the Republican Party, to run this government. We keep delivering and we’re gonna run all the way through the tape through the end of year. And I believe for this reason that we’re gonna win the midterms. I’m very bullish about the outcome. We talk about it all the time, and with each passing day, I’m more confident.
Perkins: You repeatedly say that you exceed the expectations of the pundits. They still don’t understand the power of prayer.
Johnson: That’s right! And look, I’ve been openly saying this. And I told a big gaggle of Hill press reporters yesterday, I said listen, THIS IS A GOD THING! It really is. And we have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying each of these things through.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he grows more confident "with each passing day" that the GOP will retain control of Congress. Why? "This is a God thing. We have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying."

Johnson seemed to be leading with some comedy by asserting that “the American people can trust House Republicans…to run this government.” He has presided over the least productive Congress in modern history. Even with majorities in the House and Senate, they passed almost nothing of significance. Which left wannabe dictator Trump to rule by executive orders, many of which were struck down in court.

More troubling is Johnson’s reliance on The Almighty for his election protection. What is making him confident of victory are his “intercessory prayers” lobbying God directly for votes. Johnson has stumbled onto a fantastic strategy for electoral success: Pray to win. Let’s pray he relies on it.

Although, if prayer works the way that Johnson claims, why hasn’t it stopped the war in Iran, or ended homelessness, or mass shootings? Does Johnson really believe that God is taking sides in American politics, but ignoring actual human suffering? And is Johnson aware that prayer is bipartisan? Millions of Americans are praying every day for Trump to be removed from office.

What’s more, if Democrats win the midterms, does that mean that God prefers Democrats? Which would make sense since Republicans are a profoundly anti-Christian political party that violates the principles that Jesus preached: feeding the hungry, healing the sick, giving shelter to the homeless, welcoming refugees, etc.

Democrats will be encouraged by statements like this from Johnson. While they are out on the campaign trail, talking with and listening to voters, Republicans will be in the House chapel praying (whining?) for God to find them a few more votes and deliver them from the evil of a Democratic agenda that actually helps people, rather than just catering to corporations and the wealthy. Something tells me that Johnson’s confidence may be misplaced.

WHUT? John Fetterman Tells Fox News He Doesn’t Understand Why He’s So Popular With Republicans

Posted by on July 26, 2026 at 1:53 pm. 1 Comments :

Politicians quite often are not the most self-aware individuals in American society. They frequently are driven by ego and self-interest, which results in them distorting reality (aka lying) or simply failing to grasp what is obvious to everyone else.

Fox News, Fake News

Sen. John Fetterman (PA-FOX) is a prime example of someone suffering from this unique type of OCD (Oblivious Complicit Disorder). Although he was elected as a progressive Democrat, he has transitioned to a new role as a reliable Republican enabler who seems to cherish his service as a traitorous MAGA flunky. Which goes to prove that you can’t always count on opportunistic pols being predictable. For instance…

SEE THIS: Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History

On Saturday Fetterman took up his post on Fox News, where he has become as regular as their paid contributors. He was interviewed by Donald Trump’s daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who really has no business being employed by an alleged news network. Just imagine the outcry if CNN had hired Hunter Biden as a host while his father was in the White House.

In the interview Lara prefaced her question by noting that Fetterman has been supportive of Trump with regard to strikes on Iran and voter ID. Of course he has. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been invited to be interviewed. Then she lobs a softball, asking him what he hears from his constituents. Fetterman replies that most of what he hears is positive, then elaborates…

“I’ve seen polling where why I’m so popular with Republicans. I don’t really understand that. But I’m always gonna treat both sides with respect. We can agree on what we can, or we’re gonna disagree in a respectful way. And I’m not gonna call people like ‘You’re a Nazi, you’re a fascist, or you’re trying to destroy democracy,’ and use those things.”

It’s hard to believe that Fetterman really doesn’t understand why he is popular with Republicans. Perhaps it has something to do with his appearing on Fox News at least twice a week to bash Democrats and stick up for Trump. If he really doesn’t understand why that would make him popular with Republicans, then he is too mentally impaired to serve in Congress.

Fetterman went on to take a rational sounding position about disagreeing with others without being disagreeable. And he insists that he wouldn’t resort to calling his political foes names. But if he actually feels that way, why would he appear on Fox News where they regularly call Democrats terrorists and communists who are out to destroy America? Doesn’t he realize that he is validating that vile rhetoric?

It’s hard to know what happened to Fetterman. He started out as a reasonable liberal representative. Then he had a stroke, followed by struggles with severe clinical depression and anxiety. Democrats came to his defense when Republicans began portraying him as cognitively disabled. But he nevertheless has embraced his GOP attackers. And of course, given his new right-wing opinions, they no longer attack him. In fact, they are trying to persuade him to switch parties.

There is no mystery as to where this is headed. Fetterman will be primaried and lose the Democratic nomination for reelection. Hopefully his Democratic successor will win the seat in 2028. In the meantime Democrats will have to endure his betrayal. While he still claims to be a Democrat who votes more often with his party, he is doing more harm than good by cozying up to Fox News.

What’s more, Fetterman seems to enjoy dangling the possibility of party switching over the heads of his Democratic colleagues. He has become this year’s Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin. But his time in that role will be brief. And Democrats will just have to win a large enough majority in November to cancel out his contrarian votes.
