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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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…

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

Posted by on February 27, 2026 at 2:52 pm. 0 Comments :

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

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on February 25, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

This week the news cycle was interrupted by the annual State of the Union address that is delivered by the president. And true to form, the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump, unloaded a record long harangue that surely didn’t disappoint his glassy-eyed cult followers who hungered for more red meat hostility aimed at Democrats, women, foreigners, and the rest of the anti-Trump realists that they have been brainwashed to hate. It was nearly two hours of innumerable lies, insults, and shameless self-exaltations for imaginary accomplishments.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Trump’s SOTU speech is unlikely to move the needle on his historically abysmal disapproval ratings. So the attention of the American people is going to quickly return to the issues that they care most about, which Trump largely ignored in his speech. They include the economy and the high cost of living, immigration and Trump’s ICE thugs terrorizing them and their neighbors, and the horrific crimes committed by Trump and his confederates in association with Jeffrey Epstein.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Flack, Karoline Leavitt, is Spinning Furiously to Cover Up His Epstein Ties

To the dismay of Trump and his toadies, the Epstein scandal is not going to go away. Particularly if they keep trying to cover it up and/or sweep it under the rug. But that won’t stop them from trying. Leading the charge from Congress is the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer. On Wednesday morning he took up his usual post on Fox News to disseminate his partisan propaganda. And typically, he lied to Fox host Harris Faulkner about the key participants in the Epstein affair, and whether he intended to interview any Republicans.

“The truth of the matter is that about 85% of the people that were prominent who were involved with Epstein are, you know, Democrats. So we’re gonna continue to question whoever they are regardless of political party or political identification, but the fact of the matter is the majority of the people were Democrats.”

That is about as brazen a lie as he could possibly have manufactured. While there certainly are some Democrats who associated with Epstein, the vast majority of his creepy comrades, as exposed in the Trump-Epstein files and elsewhere, were Republicans or their GOP supporters. Here’s a list of the best known people associated with Epstein…

  • REPUBLICANS:
  • Donald J. Trump
  • Melania Trump
  • Elon Musk
  • Alan Dershowitz
  • Howard Lutnick
  • Kevin Warsh
  • Steve Bannon
  • Tom Barrack
  • Peter Thiel
  • DEMOCRATS:
  • Bill Clinton

Despite this evidence that many more Republicans have fraternized with Epstein, Comer and his committee haven’t called a single one of them testify. He has, however, called Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have both agreed to be interviewed. What’s more, the Clintons have been forthright in their demands that all of the Trump-Epstein files be released. While Trump and Comer and the rest of the Republican pedophile protectors continue to obstruct the release.

If Comer were telling the truth, that 85% of those involved with Epstein were Democrats (he isn’t), then wouldn’t he and Trump and the Republicans have more incentive to release all of the files unredacted? Why are Democrats so fervently advocating for full transparency, while Republicans are opposed to it? What are they afraid of?

Perhaps it has something to do with all of the evidence that Trump’s relationship with Epstein included his participation in criminal activities. A new report reveals that Trump’s “Justice” Department is actively suppressing such evidence. According to NPR…

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.”

Democrats have been adamant that the Trump-Epstein files must be released. They are willing to let the chips fall where they may. But Republicans are determined to prevent that from happening. Partisans like Comer are abusing their power to shield Trump from accountability. And he isn’t shy about admitting it. He told Fox News that “Look, I support the president. I’m gonna do whatever the president wants.” Which doesn’t seem like something someone in charge of “Oversight” should be saying or doing.

James Comer is the MAGA GOP chair of the House Oversight Committee. Which he seems to think is the Committee for treating all of Trump's crimes as an oversight.The good news is that he's such an idiot that his partisan hearings invariably make himself and Trump look worse.

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

Posted by on February 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

WOW! Jessica Tarlov Calls Jesse Watters a Fascist on Fox News, and He Doesn’t Deny It

Posted by on February 11, 2026 at 2:09 pm. 0 Comments :

The United States is currently undergoing what may be the most dangerous period of its historically brief experiment in democracy. The second occupation of the White House by aspiring authoritarian Donald Trump is proving to be a case study in how dictators take over free nations.

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

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Trump is using the playbook provided for him by the tyrannical despots that have preceded him. It’s a step-by-step instruction manual that lays out the process of undermining liberty and replacing it with oppression. Those steps include converting the military into a personal security force to protect the leader and persecute his enemies, suppressing the rights of free citizens to vote and engage in peaceful dissent, and clamping down on the free press in order to prohibit criticism and disseminate propaganda.

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

Trump’s official Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News, remains the primary distribution center for Trump-fluffing bullshittery. And at the top of the list of slobbering sycophants is Jesse Watters, a co-host of Fox’s “The Five,” a program named for it’s four glassy-eyed MAGA cultists and one lonely liberal.

On that program on Tuesday Watters told a story that he seemed to think would present him in a sympathetic light. It didn’t. He expressed his shock at the way he was treated by a passerby near his home. But then he was surprised by the response from the one liberal co-host on the program, Jessica Tarlov…

Watters: I was walking today, in my neighborhood, on my street. This car comes throttling down and he looks me right in the eye. He was already angry and he sees me and I give him a wave. Cause a neighbor I thought. And all of a sudden he passes me, screeches on the brakes, rolls down the window and says, ‘F U fascist.’ In my neighborhood. I swear to god this happened this afternoon. And I’m thinking to myself, he doesn’t know I’m a fascist!
Tarlov: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.
Watters: Do I come across as a fascist?
Tarlov: Yes!

WHOA!!! On Fox News Jessica Tarlov just called her co-host Jesse Watters a fascist. And Watters didn't deny it. ??

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-11T11:02:59.009Z

Jessica Tarlov deserves credit for telling it like it is. She endures a great deal of abuse on that program as her rightist co-hosts constantly belittle and talk over her. But this time she managed to get some truth out and expose Watters to his face, and on his own show.

Still, you have to wonder why Watters was surprised. He seems like someone who would be used to being yelled at for being a fascist. However, in the retelling of this incident, Watters complains about the encounter saying that “He doesn’t know I’m a fascist.” To which Tarlov set him straight by pointing out that everybody knows. After all, he’s on TV everyday proving it.

What’s particularly notable about this exchange is that Watters doesn’t deny that he’s a fascist. In fact, his retort was not “Hey, I’m not a fascist.” It was “He doesn’t know I’m a fascist?” That’s how you phrase it when someone correctly assumes something about you, but you didn’t think other people could tell. For instance, if someone complimented your hairpiece, you might say “How does he know I’m wearing a toupee?”

So Watters is essentially confirming that he’s a fascist. Not that an objective person wouldn’t already know that. He always defends Trump’s most fascistic activities. Including deploying troops into American cities to suppress protesters, conducting regime change invasions of foreign countries, ordering his “Justice” Department to prosecute political foes, firing government lawyers and other civil servants who were not sufficiently worshipful of Trump, threatening the media with meritless lawsuits and even criminal actions, and Watters has been unreservedly supportive of Trump’s agenda of overt bigotry on the basis of race, gender, religion, and nation of origin.

So, yeah…Watters is a fascist. It really isn’t a very well kept secret. And Tarlov was right to point it out. Sadly, many Fox News viewers won’t care. But that’s only because they are fascists too.

Karl Rove Slams Trump on Fox News for Lying About the Economy and Ignoring How the Public Feel

Posted by on February 2, 2026 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

The flagrant failures of Donald Trump are becoming so unwieldy and impossible to ignore that even the most hard core, right-wing Republicans are beginning to speak out about it. They are starting to recognize that dodging reality is going to have a more severe impact on the GOP’s electoral prospects than failing to suck up to Dear Leader Trump.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

What’s more, the once MAGA faithful who are tenderly distancing themselves from Trump’s self-serving fantasies are doing it openly on Trump’s official televised Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. This emerging state of affairs is being driven by Trump’s horrendous agenda that includes deploying ICE thugs to attack American citizens, invading foreign countries, demolishing historic buildings, and even proposing tyrannical schemes to undermine democracy.

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

On Monday morning the longtime conservative political strategist, Karl Rove, was interviewed on Fox News in a segment about the economy. Host Shannon Bream introduced him by reading an excerpt from an op-ed allegedly written by Trump that was published this weekend in Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal. The portion that Bream read was a defense of his tariffs that was riddled with more of the lies that Trump has repeatedly told on this subject. When asked for his response, Rove said that…

“That piece in the Wall Street Journal is ‘the economy is great.’ That’s not what people feel. Last year we lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. We lost 145,000 blue collar jobs…Blue-collar consumer confidence is at a record low since 1976 when they began asking the question.

“The top 20% of the American population is responsible for 75% of the GDP. The bottom 80% is responsible for the remaining 25% of the GDP. The lower income households are bearing a bigger burden of inflation because the things that they have to pay for, like rent and utilities, have risen higher.”

‘Last Year We Lost 70,000 Manufacturing Jobs.’Legendary GOP operative Karl Rove scolded President Donald Trump for continuing to boast about his economic record during an appearance on Fox News.

Rove is right. He is cogently explaining why the economy can appear to look decent by some metrics, but actually only works for the wealthy, but is terrible for most Americans. Furthermore, he is warning Trump and the Republican Party that failing to pay attention to how people are actually experiencing these difficulties is political suicide.

Unfortunately for Rove, he is barking up the wrong tree. Trump doesn’t know or care how people feel. He is dead set on telling them what they “should” feel. And in Trump’s mind they should feel that he is their lord and savior who is infallible and cannot be challenged, lest they be punished. In MAGA World, if Trump tells you that the economy is the best it’s ever been, then you are expected to nod obediently and acquiesce to the dictates of the cult, wherein only the leader will ever tell you the truth.

Trump is focused squarely on gaslighting the nation into believing that they are all as wildly prosperous as he is. And the truth is an irrelevant distraction that is being pushed by radical leftists. Even Trump’s choice of the Wall Street Journal as the vehicle for his propaganda is bizarre. He recently blasted it as “FAKE” news and “third rate,” when they published a verified story about his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

“The Wall Street Journal printed a FAKE letter, supposedly to Epstein. These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures. I told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn’t print this Fake Story. But he did, and now I’m going to sue his ass off, and that of his third rate newspaper.”

Someone better be keeping track of all the lawsuits that Trump is filing, or threatening to file. There must be dozens of them aimed at journalists, lawyers, universities, celebrities, and politicians. You have to wonder where he finds the time to screw up the country so badly, and to make so many private deals to enrich himself.

Apparently the part of Trump’s brain that handles grift and corruption isn’t affected by his obviously worsening dementia. Which is getting so bad that he is openly proposing to rig elections by illegally taking them over and nationalizing them, which is prohibited by the Constitution. Not that Trump cares about that old rag.

HOLY CRAP! Trump says out loud to his former FBI flunky, Dan Bongino, that Republicans "should take over the voting."He is literally admitting that he wants to steal the midterm elections because he knows he and the GOP are gonna lose. Nationalizing the election is illegal.

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

Posted by on January 29, 2026 at 2:36 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Posted by on January 27, 2026 at 3:07 pm. 0 Comments :

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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