Fox News Loses Bid to Halt Gavin Newsom’s Defamation Lawsuit for Knowingly Spreading Trump Lies

Posted by on May 1, 2026 at 12:42 pm. 0 Comments :

The mission of Fox News to act as the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump has produced some of the most blatantly dishonest “reporting” ever published by a media outlet. The network shamelessly defends whatever Trump does no matter how bizarre or unlawful, and regurgitates whatever he says without regard to his deliberate diversions from reality.

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

As a result of Fox’s abandonment of any shred of journalistic ethics, they were forced to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting systems for a whopping $787 million dollars. It might be reasonable to assume that that sort of penalty would dissuade Fox News from repeating their deceitful practices. But to Fox News that’s just the cost of doing their brand of disreputable business. And just a couple of years later they were at it again…

SEE THIS: Gov. Gavin Newsom is Suing Fox News for $787 Million for Lying About a Phone Call with Trump

That’s right, California Gov. Newsom filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News seeking precisely the same amount in damages from Fox as they settled for in the Dominion case. It all stems from an episode wherein Jesse Watters – the undisputed stupidest man on Fox News – flagrantly lied about an alleged phone call between Newsom and Trump.

Newsom’s case revolves around a Trump claim that Trump called Newsom to tell him that he was “doing a bad job” handling protests against ICE, and that “Los Angeles would be burning” if he had not deployed the National Guard. However, not only did Trump never deliver that message, he never even made that phone call.

Undeterred by the truth, Watters played an edited clip of Trump’s claims and asked, “Why would Newsom lie and claim Trump never called him?” The show also displayed a chyron that said “Gavin Lied About Trump’s Call.” Those were the words of Watters making an allegedly factual representation of what took place. But the record is clear that Newsom wasn’t the one that was lying about the call. And that was even confirmed in Watters’ own segment where he displayed a screenshot of Trump’s actual call history.

In other words, Watters and Fox News were lying – again. Newsom gave them a formal opportunity to retract their lies and apologize, which they refused to do. So Newsom followed through with his promise to sue for defamation. And this week Fox News got some bad news about their efforts to have the lawsuit dismissed…

“Gov. Gavin Newsom scored a small legal victory in his defamation case against Fox News and host Jesse Watters, as a Delaware judge ruled that his &787 million lawsuit can move forward.

“‘Looking forward to discovery,’ the California governor responded Thursday in an X post.”

“Judge Sean P. Lugg found it ‘reasonably conceivable’ that Fox intentionally pushed false claims about Newsom when accusing him of lying about a phone call with Donald Trump during protests in Los Angeles.”

Newsom is right to be looking forward to the discovery process. That was how Dominion found a multitude of incriminating evidence against Fox News, including emails and other communications that revealed the dishonesty of Fox hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and others, who were caught admitting to lying about Trump. It would be safe to bet that there is more such evidence that could be acquired in Newsom’s case.

Tucker Carlson was fired shortly after Fox settled with Dominion. Maybe Watters should be updating his resumé. And while Newsom may not take this case to trial (Fox will most likely settle), it could prove to be a bonanza for media analysts eager to learn more about the inner workings of the ultra-rightist, Trump-fluffing network.

Unfortunately, what develops from this case will most likely, once again, fail to reign in Fox’s lies and propaganda. That’s pretty much the whole business model of Fox News. Which is something that they have in common with Trump.

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

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

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

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

Fox News, Vaccine

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BARTIROMO: So you're gonna sue them?KASH PATEL: Absolutely. It's coming tomorrowBARTIROMO: Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?PATEL: Yes I will. For defamation

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-04-19T14:35:10.407Z

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-04-17T07:59:23.894Z

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

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

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

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

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

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

— PatriotTakes ?? (@patriottakes.bsky.social) 2026-04-17T12:46:04.098Z

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

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.

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.

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

Posted by on April 5, 2026 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The seething rage of Donald Trump is accelerating at warp speed as his reckless and illegal war against Iran continues to devolve into an ever greater fiasco. He is utterly incapable of articulating a coherent justification for the attack, or a rational exit strategy.

Donald Trump

In the meantime, Trump’s rosy scenarios to describe the progress of the war keep contradicting themselves. According to Trump we already won three weeks ago, but we are still required to escalate militarily with more aggressive bombing and threats of worse to come. We don’t need the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran must open it immediately or “reign in Hell.” We can defeat Iran without any help from our NATO allies, but NATO is going to suffer if they don’t join our war effort. He’s having a really difficult time identifying who the enemy is.

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

Amidst this chaos, Trump has been keeping a low profile. He hasn’t been seen in public since his gawd-awful television address last Wednesday. However, he is talking to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Easter morning Trump phoned in an interview with Fox’s correspondent in Israel, Trey Yingst, wherein he revealed what appears to be some clandestine information about the mission. He told Yingst that…

“[Trump] provided new details on what happened earlier this year as the Iranian regime took to the streets and slaughtered what the president said is 45,000 civilians in their own country. After that took place the president told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters. He tells me ‘We sent them a lot of guns. We sent them to the Kurds.’ And the president tells me he thinks the Kurds kept them. He went on to say ‘We sent guns to the protesters. A lot of them.'”

Of course, we cannot dismiss the possibility that Trump is lying. Such a lie would have no benefit to American interests, but it could bring harm to friendly Iranians. On the other hand, if this is true, then Trump has disclosed information that Iran can use against the regime’s opponents. They can find and confiscate the weapons, and punish those who possessed them. They could even trace the guns to learn about how they were smuggled into Iran, and to identify American operatives in the country.

This sort of betrayal by Trump is nothing new. His motives are never to advance what is best for America. He is exclusively focused on what’s best for himself. That partly explains the comment that Trump posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that exposed just how acutely demented he is. Yingst mentioned Trump’s post in his report saying that Trump wrote that…

“‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

To be clear, that profane outburst is another example of Trump explicitly threatening to commit war crimes. Targeting power plants and bridges is an attack on civilian infrastructure that will cause great suffering to civilians and result in untold numbers of fatalities. No wonder the Trump regime is seeking to prosecute Democratic members of Congress for reminding soldiers that they are legally bound to refuse illegal orders.

Trump is the single biggest threat to America’s national security. He cannot be entrusted with sensitive information. He can be relied on to exploit it to benefit himself. And everyone should know this by now. Don’t forget, he stole hundreds of classified documents from the White House when he left after his first term, and he stored them in bathrooms and ballrooms at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel.

OH-NO! Fox News is OUTRAGED that Congress is Too Inept to Pass Trump’s Wildly Unpopular Agenda

Posted by on April 1, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

Serving as the Ministry of Propaganda for Donald Trump and his MAGA Cult has got to be an awfully difficult duty these days. That’s the mission that Fox News is struggling to perform as the nation grows ever more repulsed by Trump and his anti-American crusade to transform the United States into a totalitarian dictatorship whose sole purpose is to elevate the power and wealth of Dear Leader Trump.

Trump’s second occupation of the White House has produced nothing but misery for the American people, and chaos for the world. He has wrecked the economy with his inflationary tariffs. He has brought violence to the streets of the nation with his ICE StormTrumpers. He has started an illegal war against Iran on flagrantly false premises. And in the meantime, he has dedicated himself to building vanity ballrooms, plastering his name and face on U.S. institutions and silly merchandise, and wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on petty pastimes like golf and watching MAGA media. Consequently, his approval ratings have been circling the toilet…

So what is an ultra partisan propaganda purveyor like Fox News to do under these circumstances? To no one’s surprise they double down on the preposterous positions they have been pushing for years. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t have the same impact when the lies are aimed at fostering a floundering loser who is incapable of forming a coherent thought.

On Wednesday’s episode of Fox’s morning show “Outnumbered,” co-host Kaylee McGhee White sought to prop up Trump by shifting the blame for his failures onto Congress. In a segment discussing a recent Supreme Court ruling that Trump could not continue to build his golden ballroom without the approval of Congress, White whined that…

“The judge emphasized congressional authority. But as a reminder, Congress can’t even pass DHS funding. Congress can’t pass the Save America Act.”

Exactly! White is helpfully confirming that Congress, as it is presently constituted, is incompetent and utterly incapable of performing its designated legislative duties. Under the stewardship of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate GOP leader John Thune, they are the least productive Congress in decades. And they are currently in the midst of a partial shutdown because they can’t pass legislation to fulfill their most basic function, to keep the government open.

What White and her Fox News comrades fail to mention is that this pathetic excuse for a legislative body is wholly run by a Republican majority. So the failures that Fox News is amplifying are entirely due to the inept management of the Republican Party and its Dear Leader Trump.

For his part, Trump is proving that there is no bottom to how low his approval ratings can go. Even a recent Fox News poll found that “nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” He was additionally found to be deeply underwater on virtually every issue, including the economy, inflation, healthcare, foreign policy, and immigration.

No wonder Fox News is trying to deflect responsibility from Trump to anything else. It’s just too bad that they are such bumbling buttkissers that they can’t make a rational argument to absolve their messiah of the guilt he so richly deserves. But if they want to blame Congress, fine. The American people will have something to say about that in November.

The Trump Cult Evangelists on Fox News Are Now Openly Preaching ‘Troops on the Ground’ in Iran

Posted by on March 29, 2026 at 1:59 pm. 0 Comments :

As the war against Iran that Donald Trump chose to recklessly launch without consulting with Congress, as required by law, enters it’s fourth week, it is becoming ever more apparent that Trump couldn’t care less about his campaign promises to refrain from such foreign conflagrations that he refers to as a “little excursion.”

Donald Trump, Fox News

Trump initially claimed that his latest war would be short-lived and won without effort in a matter of hours. That has turned out to be just another steaming pile of bullpucky intended to pacify his glassy-eyed cult followers who feel betrayed, as well as his MAGA friendly media propagandists. With his approval ratings in the toilet, Trump is desperate to shift blame for his fiascoes onto those he thinks are the real enemies.

Now that Trump’s lies about Iran have become impossible to dismiss, his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is joining the battle to rescue his floundering presidency. They are embarking on a campaign to emotionally prepare the nation for another disastrous war. And leading the way is the execrable Mark Levin, a weekend host who takes a backseat to no one on his Trump-fluffing prowess.

This weekend Levin doled out some military advice to Trump on his program that we know Trump watches religiously. In fact, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, yesterday imploring his disciples to watch this particular program. It should be noted that Levin has never served in the military, so his ideas about military matters are just as useless as Trump’s. In his tediously long monologue, Levin yammered that…

“Troops on the ground. He said ‘No troops on the ground.’ I don’t remember that in any campaign speech either. Why would we need to troops on the ground? Well, there’s a lot of reasons. And we wouldn’t need 300,000 of them. It’s this uranium too. We’ve gotta get the uranium. If it cannot be destroyed, if it cannot be altered, we gotta get it. For the reason I just said. You can make dirty bombs and, over time you can still make sophisticated missiles. So you need to get to the uranium.

Levin’s claim that he doesn’t remember Trump promising not send send troops into foreign wars is either another flagrant lie, or evidence of acute cognitive impairment. It was a core feature of Trump’s campaign stump speeches. But in the Trump Cult everything can be the opposite of whatever it was before just by Trump saying so. For example, his promise to lower prices on day one; or swearing to offer a healthcare plan in two weeks; or pledging to release the Epstein files.

Levin went on to say that Trump isn’t “talking about sending the regular Army and infantry in by the hundreds of thousands.” Really? So he’s going to send in small units of specialized forces to capture hundreds of pounds of uranium and transport it securely out of the country, while battling Iranian troops? Sure. It’s a piece of (yellow) cake. And it surely wouldn’t risk contamination of populated areas in Iran or the U.S., if that were its destination.

That’s the ridiculous plan that Levin says is being proffered by Trump, who Levin also says is “a man with enormous intelligence, enormous common sense. He’s not an ideologue. He doesn’t run around with slogans.” Trump isn’t an ideologue? Seriously? And as for “running with slogans,” does “Make America great again,” or “drill, baby, drill,” or “lock her up,” or “fake news,” ring a bell?

The brazen dishonesty of Trump’s delusional public comments about the war can’t possibly help the mission, whatever that is. Trump simultaneously declares that the war was won in the first hour a month ago, but that he is still actively fighting it anyway. He’s putting Americans in harm’s way and seeking $200 billion in additional funding for an illegal war that the GOP led Congress hasn’t even been asked to debate or approve.

Despite failing to articulate a coherent objective or exit strategy, Trump flips back and forth between making wild threats of genocidal destruction, while also claiming to be in constructive peace talks. Never mind that every claim that Trump has made about negotiating with Iran has been denied by Iran.

In the meantime, Trump has been telegraphing his intention to deploy American troops on the ground in Iran. Which is a thoroughly boneheaded strategy that allows enemy forces to prepare for the invasion and inflict greater harm on U.S. soldiers. And Iran is talking full advantage of it. Their Parliament Speaker explicitly addressed it saying that Iran is “waiting for American soldiers to enter on the ground so they can set them ablaze and punish their regional partners forever.”

Levin is likely just the point man in the Fox News plot to reinforce Trump’s Iranian initiative. And he’s making it clear that the plan is to simply say that troops on the ground is a great idea that, contrary to contradicting everything Trump has said previously, he has actually been planning this all along. And somehow his devoted minions will recall these things precisely as Trump and Levin are saying them now. That’s the nature of a cult.
