Fox News Lies that Gas Was Higher a Year Ago (It Wasn’t) But Will Drop When Iran is ‘Finished’

Posted by on August 17, 2026 at 2:00 pm. 1 Comments :

At a time when Donald Trump is scraping the barrel bottom in public approval, it calls for desperate measures by the MAGA media to shore up the ever widening gap between Trump’s Republican Party and the American people, who aren’t falling for the gaslighting they are being fed by the GOP (Greedy One Percent).

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

The issues that are dominating the political discourse as the midterm election approaches mainly deal with the economy that Trump has managed to wreck with his inflationary tariffs and his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Trump’s solution to this problem is to pretend that there is no problem, and to insist that everything is going really well – for the wealthy and corporations.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Disinformation, aka Fox News, is coming to the rescue with a report on the price of gas. In this report their correspondent tells one story while their on-screen graphics tell another…

Fox News: “Trump is asking Americans for patience. Just hang a little bit more for gas because the unified message from here is that gas prices will drop quickly once the operation is finished. The president says that he has to do this to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.”

Notice that the reporter acknowledges that gas prices are currently high, but says that, according to Dear Leader, it’s a temporary, but necessary, increase and that people should be patient. He doesn’t say for how long. Two weeks? Six months? Who knows?

Meanwhile, the video shows a chart that says that gas was $4.13 a year ago, and that it’s less than that today. That, of course, is not true. It was only $3.13 a year ago. So it’s nearly 32% more today.

Some people will dismiss this as an unfortunate typo. However, knowing the reputation Fox News has for deliberately lying, there is a good chance that it was a purposeful misrepresentation of reality to make Trump look good. Media professionals know that visuals have a bigger impact on television viewers than dialog. They will remember what they saw long after they have forgotten what was said.

What’s more, the reporter attributed the higher gas prices to the Iran war, and regurgitated the Trump regime’s line that “gas prices will drop quickly once the operation is finished.” Once again…Two weeks? Six months? Who knows?

The reporter also parrots Trump’s contention that this burden is justified in order to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump himself reiterated that in a post this morning on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that “The number one Goal is, and always will be, that Iran cannot have, in any way, shape, or form, a Nuclear Weapon.” Although there is someone else who might have something to say about that…

UPDATE: Fox News has issued a correction of their gas price report. But they waited until the next day so that their lie could sink in for 24 hours. They also attached a comment unrelated to the “error” reiterating Trump’s self-serving claim that gas prices would fall quickly when the operations in Iran end.

MAGA Mike Johnson Chokes When Asked on Fox News What the Republican Alternative to Socialism Is

Posted by on August 15, 2026 at 3:41 pm. 2 Comments :

The Republican Party has been scrounging around for a campaign theme with which to compete with Democrats who are trouncing them in recent polls. They have the distinct disadvantage of being led by Donald Trump, whose approval rating is hitting record lows. If the election were held today the Democrats would sweep into majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

So far the best that Republicans can do is to parrot Trump and his recycled 1950s “red scare” rhetoric. But the strategy of calling all Democrats communists isn’t working because voters aren’t as stupid as Trump and his MAGA cult think they are. Voters aren’t falling for malarkey like this…

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

Trump followed up the fish gambit with an economic pitch. He told reporters that “the economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” Unfortunately, from the standpoint of Main Street it sucks. So that campaign theme is likely to bomb as well.

Undeterred by reality, the Republican Squeaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson, is determined to push the economic story. However, his plans are devoid of any substantive proposals for how the GOP will actually resolve the problems that they and their Dear Leader have caused. So Johnson visited Fox News Saturday morning and had the following exchange with host (and former Trump press secretary) Kayleigh McEnany…

McEnany: If you’re a young person watching this and you’re disenchanted, and you can’t afford a home, and you’re having trouble with healthcare, and you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative to the socialists which might be alluring to someone that doesn’t have the education about its failures?
Johnson: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works. That drives prices up. It leads to famine. It leads to human suffering and poverty for everyone. But the answer is limited government and individual freedom and the rule of law. the things that the Republicans have been fighting for.

FOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative?MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-08-15T16:30:40.892Z

McEnany actually asked a good question about the financial burdens that many Americans are suffering since Trump reoccupied the White House. It was a straight forward inquiry that gave Johnson an opportunity to explain the Republican plan. But for some reason he didn’t even try. Although his reply at least acknowledged that there is a problem, which contradicts Trump’s delusional insistence that we are living in “The Golden Age” with the best economy ever.

Johnson led off with a hackneyed rant about not “turn[ing] everything over to the government.” Which no Democrat has ever advocated. Democratic Socialism – which, for the MAGA-tists reading this, is not communism – merely proposes to make government more democratic and responsive to the needs of the people. For example, Medicare, public schools, and food and product safety regulations.

Then Johnson concluded by rattling off a series of concepts, not plans that can be implemented. And each of them highlights the hypocrisy of Republican politics. They do not pursue limited government by mandating religious practices. And forcing women to obey the government rather than their doctors when planning families is hardly individual freedom. And a party led by a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, who exploits his office to enrich himself, and grants pardons to violent insurrectionists and cop-beaters, can’t rationally lay claim to the rule of law.

This is the sinkhole from which Republicans have to dig themselves out of. But they only have two and a half months left to do it. And if they continue to rely on wild-eyed accusations of communism, and oblivious denials of economic hardship, they might as well just give up on campaigning and spend their time on losing illegal wars in the Middle East, sprucing up the White House with gold-plated filigree, and staging professional wrestling matches. Oh, wait. They’re already doing that.

HALLELUJAH! The Affordability Crisis is Over According to Fox News – After Talking to Some CEOs

Posted by on August 9, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 1 Comments :

The American economy is presently in what is called a “K-shaped economy,” wherein the rich are getting richer and the middle-class and poor are struggling to keep their heads above water. It’s a rather common situation during Republican administrations that favor the wealthy and corporations.

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

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo

Under Donald Trump this economic disparity has gotten worse. But the only thing that you will ever hear from him and his MAGA cult cohorts is that things are fantastic because the stock market is rising. Never mind that most Americans have no market holdings to benefit from any of that. The delusions that plague Trump prevent him from seeing the economic realities. Or even the realities of his abysmal approval ratings…

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

On Sunday morning Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) went to work to shore up Trump’s standing on the economy that he has wrecked. The “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends welcomed their network colleague – and Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer – Maria Bartiromo to the program to fire up the gaslighting. Bartiromo engaged in the following exchange with the weekend co-hosts…

Griff Jenkins: So Maria, let me pick up on this past jobs report quickly and get your assessment on the fact that, you know, Trump is constantly talking about record markets you mentioned there, rising wages, and what we also see, fewer layoffs. But this week already we’re gonna be hearing Democrats about how horrible the economy is.
Bartiromo: That’s just propaganda. I mean, look, things are going well. And I think we all feel it. Look at where we are right now. You’ve got job creation. You’ve got economic growth. You’ve got $18 trillion of new investments. The president’s main priority has been to put America first […] But when you actually look at what’s going on, things feel pretty good. I’ve spoken with a number of CEOs who tell me that business is up, strongly. And it has to do partly with the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Rachel Campos-Duffy: I hear you, and that’s all great news, and that’s what Americans need to hear. But what do you think is leading to the disconnect in maybe some voters and Americans not feeling that way? So why is that do you think?
Bartiromo: I think it’s messaging. I really do. I mean the Republicans need to do a better job of telling their story and communicating what the “Big Beautiful Bill” has done for earnings.

And there you have it! Let’s set aside for the time being that they were all lying that the recent jobs report was positive (there was a decline of 23,000 jobs), about rising wages (they are trailing inflation), and about fewer layoffs (which have exceeded 300,000 year to date). So no one should be surprised if Democrats speak to those facts.

Bartiromo’s response, however, was among the most reality-averse imaginable. She is pitching a preposterously rosy economy that includes such fallacies as Trump’s made up “$18 trillion of new investments,” and his “main priority…to put America first.” Which is only true if you believe that fighting a war in Iran, imposing inflationary tariffs throughout the world, and building vanity projects around D.C. are putting America first.

The most ridiculous part of Bartiromo’s commentary was her conclusion that “things feel pretty good” because she’s “spoken with a number of CEOs.” And who would know better than a bunch of rich corporate executives how it feels to be struggling to pay for groceries, gas, housing, healthcare, etc.?

What’s more, if the ungrateful American people who are complaining about such financial burdens were only subjected to better messaging – i.e. propaganda/gaslighting – they wouldn’t feel burdened at all. So maybe it’s time for Trump to have Congress pass another bill that they call the “Everything is Beautiful So STFU Bill.”

That should solve all of the problems that Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates are whining about. It will juice his approval ratings, and stop the electoral Blue Wave that’s coming in November. And it will accomplish all of that without having to actually do anything that actually helps anybody. So it fits the GOP playbook perfectly.

Does JD Vance Want to Imprison Trump for ‘Enriching Himself Off of the American Taxpayer’?

Posted by on August 6, 2026 at 3:05 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump reoccupied the White House last year, he went to great pains to avoid what he considered mistakes during his first occupation. For the most part that meant surrounding himself with drooling sycophants that he could trust to be loyal to him only, rather than to the law or the Constitution or the American people.

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

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Dr. Evil, Mini-Me

Trump did a pretty good job of that by appointing the most unqualified, incompetent clowns – many recruited directly from Fox News – to his Cabinet and other senior administration posts that he could rest assured would never do anything without his approval, and who would never contradict or challenge him. At least not intentionally. The result is a confederacy of devoted MAGA-tists who worship Dear Leader…

SEE THIS: Trump Gathers His Cabinet Members to Conduct Another Festival of Feckless Trump-Fluffing

While Trump’s flunkies perform down to their expectations most of the time, the instances of unintentional departures from the regime dogma are serious and increasingly frequent. They include U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro contradicting Trump’s lies about vandals doing damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth leaking the depletion of U.S. munitions stockpiles.

However, the most serious propaganda breakdown may have just been perpetrated by Trump’s Vice-President, JD Vance. A few weeks ago Trump made Vance his “Fraud Czar,” presumably to crack down on anyone who tried to move in on mob boss Trump’s territory.

On Thursday, Vance sat down for a friendly interview with Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, during which he came out in favor of prosecuting and imprisoning people who commit fraud at the expense of American taxpayers. He said that…

“I don’t care where you’re from. I don’t care what your name is. If you’re committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and try to throw you in prison for enriching yourself off of the American taxpayer.”

Does that sound like anyone you know? For the record, Donald Trump has been found liable for fraud in civil court for ripping off students of his phony university. He has had his charity shut down for fraudulent misuse of funds. And he was convicted on 34 felony charges of fraud related to his business dealings and association with porn star, Stormy Daniels.

These and numerous other scams were all designed to illegally enriched himself. And now his Fraud Czar is declaring that such behavior will be punished with prosecution and imprisonment. We’ll see. But don’t hold your breath. To date the only actions taken by Trump with regard to fraudsters has been to pardon them and to relieve them of paying any restitution to their victims. The only “victim” that he believes deserves restitution is himself.

Lara Trump Brags on Fox News that Donald Trump Got Gas Prices Down – By Screwing Up on COVID!

Posted by on August 2, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 0 Comments :

The mission of Fox News from its inception was to advance the the right-wing, conservative agenda, and to elect Republicans. Thirty years later their commitment to those goals has only grown stronger and they have worked fervently to redouble their efforts on behalf of the GOP’s current kingpin, Donald Trump.

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

Donald Trump Fox News

One of the best indicators of how devoted Fox News is to an ideology is the presence of Trump’s Daughter-in-Lawlessness, Lara Trump, as a host of her own show on the network. For an alleged news enterprise that once brandished the slogan “fair and balanced,” it’s a steep fall from the already low bar they had set for themselves. They even sunk so low as to have Lara interview her Sugardaddy-in-Law on her show.

SEE THIS: Trump Humiliates Himself in a Hysterical Interview By His Daughter-in-Law Lara Trump on Fox News

On Saturday Lara took on the additional duty of guest-hosting Fox and Friends. During that episode she openly admitted that she and Fox News are not independent journalists, but instead are partisan representatives of the Republican Party. She said that…

“As Republicans, we need to do a better job of reminding the American people what this president and what this party has done for the economy. Don’t forget that under Joe Biden we saw an over 9% inflation, it’s at 3.5% right now. You look at the energy policy of this president. That has been monumental for bringing costs down. Obviously you see gas prices aren’t perfect right now, but don’t forget, $1.77 a gallon during Trump one. We know he knows how to get us there. We have the higher gas prices right now because of Iran.”

There you have it. Lara spoke “As Republicans, we need to do a better job…” Then she enumerated what she believed to be the failures of President Biden and the successes of the GOP under the guidance of Papa Trump. And true to form, she brazenly lied. For instance, while inflation did rise to 9.1% during Biden’s term, he brought it down to 3% by the time he handed off the office to Trump. Since then, Trump has presided over an increase in inflation to 3.5%.

However, perhaps the worst part of Lara’s commentary was her boasting about Trump’s alleged ability to bring gas prices down. She offered as proof the fact that during his first term gas prices declined to $1.77 per gallon. So according to Lara, “he knows how to get us there.”

Which is great to know. All he has to do now is horribly mismanage another pandemic like COVID and gas will once again be affordable. Because that was what happened during Trump’s first term that resulted in $1.77/gallon gas. And it only cost a few more than a million American lives.

In Trump’s second term he appears to be heading the opposite direction. Instead of killing a million Americans in order to bring gas prices down, he’s killing Iranians in order to get gas prices up. If there is some logic in that strategy, it is lost on American consumers, who are also being burdened with higher prices for everything else due to his idiotic and inflationary tariffs.

Lara went on in her commentary to further align herself and her Fox News colleagues with the Republican Party. She added that…

“I think we need to do a better job of messaging that. Because if you leave it up to the legacy media they’re gonna continue to hammer this president on Iran. A situation that, thank God, he’s tackling because no one else would. But I think that’s something we need to hear more from the RNC and the Republicans on.”

So Lara is shamelessly serving as the de facto communications boss of the Republican Party, and doling out advice that she thinks will help their faltering electoral prospects. And in her opinion, the Party’s problems have nothing to do with their unpopular policies that ignore the welfare of the American people. It’s just a messaging problem. Which she seems to think is the responsibility of the media that spends too much time reporting on trivialities like war.

You can’t entirely blame Lara for this. She’s a mouthpiece for the benefit of her family. But Fox News should be endlessly shamed for hiring her and allowing her to disgorge such self-serving propaganda across the network’s programming day. But then, why would they change now after doing that for thirty years?

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.

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

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.

REALLY? Fox News is DUMBFOUNDED that Iran is Able to Fight Back After Trump ‘Obliterated’ Them

Posted by on July 19, 2026 at 3:07 pm. 0 Comments :

The degree of cognitive dysfunction in victims of brainwashing is measurable by how steadfastly they adhere to ideas that are demonstrably untrue and remain committed to obvious falsehoods no matter how much evidence of the truth they are exposed to. It’s a deplorable state of mental impairment that produces near zombie-like wretches desperately searching for brains.

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump

There is no better example of this than the pathetic disciples of Donald Trump’s MAGA movement who have willingly abandoned all reliance on reality. These MAGApathic sufferers have instead adopted a blind faith in their Dear Leader to the exclusion of all reason. And this isn’t just about weak-minded citizens. Some members of the media are just as susceptible. And those who don’t comply are targeted for punishment

SEE THIS: Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression

Atop the list of MAGA media compliers is Trump’s own Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. And the Senior Trump-fluffer on Fox is Maria Bartiromo. On Sunday morning Bartiromo provided an outstanding example of cult devotion in a segment wherein she interviewed former Trump staffer Victoria Coates, who is currently with the ultra right-wing Heritage Foundation. The subject was Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran where two more American soldiers were just reported killed.

Bartiromo: CENTCOM says that there will be outsized reaction in retaliation. But I don’t understand how it’s possible that Iran has the capabilities to fight this way and continue to try to lash out at Gulf countries and military bases. Because the U.S. has obliterated Iran’s military and the president continues to reiterate that.
Coates: Yes. And it you look at the numbers of missiles that they have been able to fire off from the beginning of this, late February early March, and what they are able to do now, it is very seriously degraded…I think their capabilities are lessened, but they’re not zero.

Consistent with cult programming, Bartiromo’s commentary displays her inability to process reality. The poor thing can’t understand how Iran can continue to fight since Dear Leader Trump has assured her that he has “obliterated” Iran’s military. What never crosses her mind is that the reason that Iran is able to continue fighting is because Trump is lying.

The fact that Iran persists in the battles, controls, in part, the Strait of Hormuz, and stubbornly refuses to accept Trump’s “peace” proposals, should convince a rational person that Trump’s assessments of the situation are – in technical terms – bullshit!

Bartiromo just mindlessly accepts whatever Trump tells her. And without even a hint of doubt she states, not as a Trump assertion, but as a fact, that “the U.S. has obliterated Iran’s military.” And her guest agrees. Although she seems to recognize that Iran’s defensive capabilities still exist to some degree, she doesn’t put up much of a counter argument to Bartiromo’s misperceptions.

So of course Bartiromo can’t understand. She is dumbfounded (with a B). Because anything that challengers her perception of Trump as infallible is inconceivable. The prime directive of a cult is that the Leader is never wrong, and everyone else is lying to you. And Bartiromo, along with her confederates at Fox News, are not going to divert from that path.

Fox News Keeps Describing Trump’s Sexual Deviancy, When They Think They’re Describing Democrats

Posted by on July 8, 2026 at 4:36 pm. 1 Comments :

The electoral prospects of the Republican Party are looking pretty dim these days. That’s mostly due to the failures of the party’s leader, Donald Trump, who has wrecked the economy, led the nation into an illegal war with Iran, wasted taxpayer funds on vanity projects, and humiliated the country on the international stage.

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

Consequently, Trump is becoming more desperate with each passing day. He knows that there is a strong likelihood that Democrats will regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and perhaps the Senate as well. That would make the remaining two years of his occupation of the White House a nightmare for him, with numerous investigations, and little chance of enacting his MAGA agenda. His approval rating is plummeting to record lows, and he’s resorting to the most bizarre strategies for the upcoming midterm elections.

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

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is stepping up to do whatever they can to rescue him. On Tuesday night Trump’s former press secretary, Kellyanne Conway (of “alternative facts” fame) was guest hosting the Sean Hannity program. And during a segment wherein she was interviewing Republican Rep. Brandon Gill, the subject of disgraced Maine Senate candidate, Graham Platner came up. Which led to the following exchange…

Conway: I am completely disgusted with the Democratic Party and their candidate, their nominee. But I am worried for the country if they’re gonna continue to stand by their men until they can’t any longer, we may end up with bad candidates, bad office holders, until it’s too late.
Gill: They didn’t have a problem with multiple credible allegations of abuse from multiple women. […] We need decent people running for office, not those who are so transparently scum bags.

OH NO! What will the Democrats do when they learn that Conway is “disgusted” with them? How will they deal with the concerns of Conway and Gill about “scum bags” with “multiple credible allegations of abuse from multiple women”? But most of all, how will Conway and Gill and the rest of the MAGA GOP continue to fool themselves that the “scum bag” they are describing isn’t their own Dear Leader, Donald Trump?

Is it really possible that they don’t realize that they are perfectly describing Trump, who is a well documented, serial sexual abuser, admitted pussy-grabber, and adjudicated rapist? And of course they and the Republican Party continue to “stand by their man” even after it is too late. And so does Fox News. The Democrats, meanwhile, have renounced Platner. Republicans still worship Trump.

This was not the only time that Conway expressed these perverse thoughts about political perversion. In another segment she interviewed GOP Sen. John Kennedy (GA-MAGA), and made similar observations…

Kennedy: This guy is a just a predator. And you don’t want him anywhere near power.
Conway: These allegations of abuse and assault…it just goes on and on and never seems enough for your colleagues across the aisle in the Democratic Party to chuck this guy.

Except that the Democrats did chuck Platner. But Republicans nominated Trump again and reelected him. And they still back him 1,000% (that’s Trump math). It’s a sad fact that there are despicable people in this world. But how they are dealt with tells us about the morality of the rest of us.

Republicans are telling us that rapists and pedophiles and convicted felons are acceptable as leaders. In November the American people can tell Republicans what they think about that. And that’s exactly what Trump and his MAGA cult are afraid of.

Republican James Comer Gives Fox News a Damn Good Reason to Vote Democratic and Flip the House

Posted by on July 6, 2026 at 4:52 pm. 0 Comments :

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to have a profound impact on the remaining two years of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House. It is likely that Democrats will regain the 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

Fox News Sad

The prospects of Trump transforming from a Screech Owl to a Lame Duck next year are greater with each passing day. He is doing virtually nothing to advance the campaigns of Republicans. He even said to reporters that “I Don’t Care About the Midterms.” Instead, he is focusing almost exclusively on vanity projects like the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and his golden ballroom. He hardly even mentions anymore the war against Iran that he’s losing. The closest he comes to articulating a campaign theme is to regurgitate the “red scare” paranoia of the 1950s.

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

In support of his Dear Leader, Republican Oversight Committee chair, James Comer, made another of his nearly daily appearances on Fox News. But during the course of what he thought was a segment that would juice Trump’s standing with the public, Comer offered what is more likely a motivating message for Democrats.

“This is just a perfect example of the Democrats. And I think that all they’re gonna do if they flip the House and become the majority of the House is investigate and harass Donald Trump.”

Republican James Comer is making a great case for voting for Democrats and flipping the House. He says that they will investigate and harass Trump.GOOD! There will finally be some law and order, rather than the sycophantic cowardice and puppetry of the GOP Congress.

OH NO! NOT THAT! Comer is threatening that if Democrats are elected they will do exactly what Democrats, most independents, and even some Republicans, want them to do. This is the sort of message that will drive voters who are tired of – and disgusted by – Trump to the polls in record numbers. Surveys show that the American people are through tolerating Trump’s corruption and lies.

Voters see Trump enriching himself by billions of dollars, mostly via scams, while they are struggling to pay for gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. And they see him wasting scarce taxpayer revenue on trivialities like alleged DC beautification, or worse, atrocities like ICE thugs persecuting innocent immigrants and even some citizens.

The onscreen message on Fox News during Comer’s segment said that a “Dem Report Claims Trump Corrupted America 250.” Which is some more inadvertently accurate messaging from the folks at Fox News. There is indeed a well researched report that reveals how Trump has hijacked the “America 250” project to divert funds to his own “Freedom 250” scam.

The spectacle of watching Comer accidentally help Democratic campaigns is not a one-time mistake by Trump regime confederates. Trump’s former press Secretary, Kellyanne Conway, has done it as well…

Trump himself has unintentionally characterized himself as a recidivist criminal, and unwittingly reminded people of his frequent illegal activities…

Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News that Gen Z is Lazy, So Send Them to Iran

Posted by on July 3, 2026 at 3:44 pm. 1 Comments :

The affordability crisis in America has been the most prominent storyline of the 2026 midterm election year. The hardships endured by people trying to cover bills for gas, groceries, housing, healthcare, and more, have been uppermost on the minds of voters, as well as most conscientious politicians. Which, by definition, leaves out Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Throughout this debate Trump has distinguished himself by firmly taking positions on both sides. He has swung wildly from claiming credit for ending the the crisis, to insisting that it is a Democratic hoax that never existed in the first place. Most recently, Trump announced a campaign slogan that will surely resonate with the nation’s struggling families…

In an attempt to reinforce the Trump regime’s position that affordability isn’t really a problem, Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News for a friendly interview with Jesse Watters. The segment delivered some of the most callously oblivious commentaries on the subject imaginable.

Watters: Some of these kids, and I call them kids because they’re in their 20s and they’ve never had real jobs and they’re complaining things are expensive in the U.S. Yes, things are expensive when you don’t have a real job. Do you think that’s getting traction? Complaining?
Leavitt: Unfortunately, I do because this generation, my generation, I hate to say it, Gen Z and those younger than me have been raised with just silver spoons in their mouths, just getting everything handed to them. That’s not the values this country was built on. […]
Watters: Is it laziness?
Leavitt: A little bit.
Watters: Because the professor said the country’s corrupt. It’s evil. And we just need to shake them down and hand money out.
Leavitt: It’s laziness and it’s liberal indoctrination. You bring up a great point about our education system. […]
Watters: I say if they misbehave just make all these young kids join the army.
Leavitt: Send them to Cuba. Send them to Iran.

So to start off, Watters asserts that the only reason things are perceived as expensive by young people is that they don’t have “real” jobs. And Leavitt agrees, accusing them of having been born into privilege and never knowing the meaning of work. Elaborating, they both malign them as “lazy.” They also both neglect to recognize that it isn’t just young people who are plagued by the economic burdens of the Trump agenda. Americans of all ages are well aware of Trump’s disastrous effect on the U.S. economy.

Leavitt and Watters are delivering a great message from the MAGA team in an election year during which they are already projected to suffer significant losses. They are telling a critical voting bloc that if you’re troubled with how expensive things are, it’s just because you’re a lazy communist who has been indoctrinated by evil college professors. Even worse, Leavitt and Watters propose that these spoiled, youthful, complaining, ingrates be forced to join the army and be sent to Cuba or Iran. That’ll teach ’em.

Leavitt went on to promote homeschooling and Christian schools for parents who “don’t want their children being taught these communist and liberal ideas slammed down their throat.” She prefers the fascist and conservative ideas embraced by Trump and his MAGA confederates. Which is an angle that Democrats will be happy to see Republicans adopting as November approaches. As is often the case, what Republicans are doing to advance their agenda will be truly fantastic – for Democrats.
