Trump Lies About Ilhan Omar’s Name and Demands that She Immediately Resign From Congress

Posted by on October 23, 2026 at 2:26 pm. 0 Comments :

The litany of lies that Donald Trump disgorges on a daily basis are generally easy to refute. They never have a factual basis or provide any documentary proof. But as we get closer to the midterm election that is predicted to blowout much of Trump’s MAGA Party, his lies are becoming ever more fantastical and preposterous.

Donald Trump Angry

In the past few weeks Trump has narrowed his diarhetorical ranting to ludicrous allegations that every Democrat is a communist who is determined to force all American children to transition to another gender. He has blurted out every racist trope he can think of. He has done everything he can to make the cost of living rise. And he has aided and abetted foreign dictators in their quest to weaken America. All of this right before an election that he is desperately trying to rig in his favor.

SEE THIS: RIGGED! Trump Bans International Election Observers From Monitoring the Upcoming Midterms

On Friday morning Trump was busying himself as usual by posting deranged comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Among them was a long, racist tirade attacking one of his favorite targets, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. It said in summary that…

“It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it’s an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother” […]

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress.”

True to form, Trump is making utterly unfounded allegations that Omar’s birth name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. It’s not. And he also lied that her former husband is her brother. He isn’t. Omar has repeatedly denied these crackpot conspiracy theories, and in her seven years of congressional service no evidence has ever been produced to back them up. Therefore, Trump’s demand that she resign from Congress is not just patently false, it’s glaringly ridiculous.

Making unfounded allegations is a standard operating procedure for Trump and his MAGA-strates. He has been whining for years that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” from him. But has never offered any proof of it. He claims that there is rampant voter fraud, but can’t seem to document it. He is in a near constant rage over what he calls “fake news,” which always just turns out to be truthful news that he doesn’t like.

If Trump really wants to pursue his attack on Omar, he might want to include a few others who actually did run for office under names that were not their own legal birth names. For instance, James Donald Bowman, aka Vice-President JD Vance. Or Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Sen. Ted Cruz. Or James Michael Johnson, aka GOP House Peaker Mike Johnson. Maybe we should throw them all out of office.

There are surely more. But the way things are going for Republicans, voters are likely to take care of throwing them out in the upcoming election, or the next one in 2028.

Trump is Pushing the Sunshine Protection Act to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent. Here’s Why

Posted by on October 3, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 0 Comments :

It isn’t often that Donald Trump comes out in favor of something that has bipartisan support. Ordinarily he is laser focused on backing, or even purposely creating, issues that divide the American people. He likes nothing better than to set up phony political confrontations in which he can try to demonize Democrats.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

So it may come as some surprise that Trump is enthusiastically backing the Sunshine Protection Act (SPA) that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. The bill has already passed in the House, and likely has the votes to pass in the Senate as well. Of course, any assumption that Trump is actually concerned about the welfare of the people or the nation is wildly off base.

SEE THIS: OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Trump revealed why he is supporting the SPA in a comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social on Saturday morning. His remarks were typically longwinded and barely coherent, saying in part that…

“Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! […] Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. […] Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton…Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

However that was not the revealing part. Trump’s post also included a copy of a letter that he received from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour. Rolapp’s letter included the following argument in favor of passing the SPA (emphasis added)…

“The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) estimates that permanent DST would generate 23 million additional rounds per year and $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the golf industry — an average of $250,000 per facility. The NGCOA has also found that afternoon and evening tee times generate roughly 40 percent more revenue than morning play.”

A billion dollars a year for golf course owners. And it’s surely just a coincidence that Trump owns eleven golf resorts in the United States. That’s a pretty strong financial incentive to support making Daylight Saving Time permanent. And it would explain why Trump is badgering his fellow Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, to get him to drop his opposition. Although Cotton doesn’t seem particularly eager to comply with Trump’s demands…

Cotton’s rebuttal isn’t very persuasive. If he’s afraid that Arkansans will have to wake up before sunrise, or send their kids to school in the dark, all they would have to do is change the hours that they do those things. For instance, start school an hour later in the winter. Then the entire nation of more than 360,000,000 doesn’t have to change their clocks, and tolerate earlier sunsets, just to accommodate those parents of young children.

There are arguments on both sides of the DST debate. Some doctors say that Standard Time is healthier. But that’s offset by the health risks caused by the biannual changing of the clocks, which include higher rates of heart attacks and strokes, more auto accidents in the darkened evening hours when there is more traffic, and the environmental harm done by increased use of energy for lighting and heating when the sun sets earlier.

While there are much more important issues that need to be addressed, this one presents a rare opportunity for a bipartisan accord on a matter that people care about. And coming right before a critical election makes it all the more significant. And it even has Trump’s support, albeit for selfish reasons.

However, it’s being hung up by a Republican who suddenly isn’t afraid to defy Dear Leader. These MAGA Republicans go along with Trump on virtually everything, such as waging an illegal war against Iran, protecting pedophiles associated with Jeffrey Epstein, backing inflationary tariffs, and building monuments to exalt our Narcissist-in-Chief. But on this issue Sen. Cotton has summoned the courage to stand up to Trump?

The Republican Party really does seem determined to convince the American people that they are weak-kneed nut cases who need to be voted out of office as soon as possible. And fortunately, the people will have that opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can give Cotton a call at the number helpfully provided by Trump if you want to keep Daylight Saving time.

Lying Bigot Mike Johnson Says Iranians Can’t Be Trusted Because Lying is ‘Part of Their Religion’

Posted by on September 1, 2026 at 4:53 pm. 0 Comments :

The Republican Party has long been the home of racists and hate mongers who openly advocate discrimination and white supremacy. They welcome organizations like the Ku Klux Klan into their political family and unabashedly campaign for their votes.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

Much of the official Republican agenda is based on policies that profess intolerance for minorities. Lately they have been fixated on eliminating programs that enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in employment, education, housing, etc. And naturally, Donald Trump is the leader of this hateful movement.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals that He is a Bipartisan Racist in a Pair of Disgusting Truth Social Posts

Faithfully following Trump’s lead is his flunky in the House of Representatives, GOP Squeaker MAGA Mike Johnson. On Tuesday morning Johnson held a press briefing where he affirmed his putrid prejudices. He was asked about the war in Iran that Trump has been losing for six months and still has no plan for getting out. Johnson said that…

“The problem is – and the reason we’ve been frustrated is – the Iranians cannot be trusted. They’ll sit at the negotiation table and say something, then walk away and do the opposite. For some of them it’s apparently part of their religion that they can just lie to someone they disagree with.”

It’s rather impressive how much repulsiveness Johnson can squeeze into such a short comment. Most notable is the flaming bigotry of his assertion that it is part of Iranians’ religion to lie. It’s an especially disgusting remark considering that Johnson himself professes to be a devout Christian, while also being a pathological liar.

The pathological lying is a trait that Johnson shares with Trump. Which makes Johnson’s accusation that Iran can’t be trusted all the more preposterous. It was Trump who tore up an agreement between the United States and Iran that had successfully prohibited any efforts by Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. And that deal, made by President Obama, was accomplished without going to war, killing thousands of people, spending billions of dollars, and wrecking the economy of the U.S., and the world.

By breaking that deal Trump not only released Iran from their promise not to seek nuclear weapons, but he also did severe damage to the reputation of the U.S. for trustworthiness. Both of those results make the world a more dangerous place. Not that Trump cares. It has likely made him richer.

For his part, Johnson is acting out his role as a Trump disciple who has surrendered the constitutional authority of the House of Representatives to the aspiring authoritarian occupying the White House. He’s more than happy to see American democracy crumble during his tenure as Speaker. So if anyone cannot be trusted, it’s Mike Johnson. and the sooner that he is removed from power the better. And the same goes for Trump.

Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

Posted by on August 26, 2026 at 2:56 pm. 1 Comments :

The Ego That Ate D.C., Donald Trump, is on the hunt again for prey that it can devour to sustain its Reign of Terror. It has an insatiable appetite that threatens to drive its potential victims into extinction. Which, in the big picture, would be a desirable outcome.

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

Donald Trump, Republican, GOP

Trump is suffering the lowest approval ratings of either of his occupations of the White House. Consequently, he is determined to shift any blame for that away from himself and onto the unfortunate MAGA parasites who depend on him for their political survival.

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

On Wednesday morning Trump took his presidential post on his pitiful Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to deflect his failures onto the Republican Party that he supposedly leads. He reposted a comment that complained that “I don’t think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are f*cking up right now.” There’s actually some truth to that, although not in the way it was meant. The post continued with a list of examples of what Trump believes are missteps by GOP that are responsible for his abysmal polling. They include…

  • No true accountability.
  • No meaningful decrease in the deficit.
  • Lots of very long vacations and no work.
  • No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives.
  • Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised?
  • Where is the SAVE ACT?

It’s true that Republicans have failed to fulfill the disingenuous promises that Trump made during his campaign. But the fault is as much with Trump as it is with the Republicans in Congress.

More importantly, the post left out the two issues that the majority of voters – including the MAGA-tists – are most upset about: Trump’s reckless and illegal war against Iran, and the war and tariff driven inflation that is burdening Americans with higher costs for groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, and more.

The comment that Trump reposted does express the dissatisfaction that Trump’s MAGA cult are feeling. But it mistakenly assumes that the GOP, and by extension Trump, doesn’t “fully grasp how badly they are f*cking up.” Of course they do. And Trump grasps it too. Which is why he’s shoveling the blame onto his party mates to absolve himself.

The real problem is that none of them have the slightest idea how to fix any of it. So the blame will be flying around in every direction between now and the November election. They have already tried blaming Presidents Biden and Obama, but that hasn’t stuck given that they have been out of office for years.

So it’s good to see that Trump is now conceding – at least for the time being – that it is his own party that is F*ing up. And some members of the GOP are reciprocating by refusing to campaign with Trump in the lead up to the midterm elections, because they know that any association with him would hurt their electoral prospects.

In November we will likely see Democrats win majorities in the House of Representatives, and possibly in the Senate as well. And in January the change in Congress will make Trump the lamest of ducks, and the subject of long-delayed oversight hearings and accountability. So if you think he’s whining now, you aint seen nothin’ yet.

Trump Begs His MAGA Cult to ‘Pretend That I’m on the Ballot’ – And Democrats Concur

Posted by on August 22, 2026 at 4:21 pm. 0 Comments :

It’s always obvious when Donald Trump is having a panic attack about matters that are beyond the control of his narcissistic malignancy. He typically lashes out frantically at his perceived political enemies, hurls infantile insults at the free press that he abhors, and beseeches his MAGA cult disciples to worship him harder.

Donald Trump, Mocking Disability

With the rapidly approaching midterm election bearing down on Trump and his MAGA confederates, he recognizes, but will never admit, that the prospects for a Republican victory are dim. Consequently, he is trying on new campaign themes almost every day. They range from rehashing the “red scare” of the 1950s, wherein he accuses all Democrats of being communists, to outright lying about how successfully he has restored the economy that he wrecked with tariffs and war and general ignorance.

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

On Friday Trump attended a rally in South Carolina in support of GOP Senate candidate Darline Graham, who he has endorsed. As usual, he spent most of his 90 minute harangue exalting himself. But in a surprising departure from his common conceit and ego-fluffing, Trump put his electoral anxiety on display. For instance, he implored his MAGA-tists to demonstrate their adoration by showing up to vote in November. Openly begging, Trump explained that…

“The problem that we have is, they say that Trump does great when he’s on the ballot, but when he’s not on the ballot, his people don’t come and they don’t vote for senators, congressmen and other Republicans. So what I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot.”

This request was likely fueled by the fact that, in recent Republican primaries, six of Trump’s endorsed candidates lost. Even Graham, the candidate he was there to promote, failed to get enough votes to avoid a runoff. Therefore, he is resorting to pleading for his peons to “pretend” that he’s on the ballot. Which is an admission that the Republicans he is pushing are too lame to get votes on their own.

Of course, it’s Trump’s widespread unpopularity that is likely the main reason for the GOP’s recent defeats. So if Republican candidates choose to tie themselves closer to Trump, it will probably do them more harm than good. Democrats, meanwhile, will eagerly welcome Republicans embracing their lame duck leader, who will lead them to more failures. And that’s not the only reason Democrats are supporting Trump’s recent remarks. He also told the rally crowd that…

“If we lose you’re going to lose your border, you’re going to lose your tax cuts, you’re going to lose everything that we’ve done, we’ve gotten the biggest tax cuts in history…I’m going to be impeached. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why.”

Let’s set aside Trump’s claims about what would be lost, because they are all lies. On the other hand, his “warning” that he would be impeached will resonate as an incentive to most Democrats, Independents, and even some disaffected Republicans. And if Trump needs some reminders of why so many Americans want him impeached, he can just rerefer to his illegal war against Iran, his illegal tariffs, his illegal acceptance of gifts (including a $400 million dollar jet), his illegal vandalizing of property in D.C., and his illegal enrichment of himself. And that’s the abridged list.

What’s more, the prospect of Trump’s impeachment will drive higher voter turnout by Americans who want to hasten the end of his reoccupation of the White House. And that’s an outcome that nobody will need to pretend to enjoy.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mike Johnson Warns the Media of Threats By Communists, But Ignores the Real Threats By Trump

Posted by on July 14, 2026 at 2:37 pm. 0 Comments :

The flailing desperation of Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates is ramping up feverishly as the midterm elections get closer, and their prospects for holding Congress are deteriorating at – as Trump might put it- levels never seen before.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

The form that the Trumpist retreat is taking is a replication of the “Red Scare” of the 1950s, when Republicans saw communists in every shadow and around every corner preparing to pounce on vulnerable Americans and infecting them with the poison of Pinko propaganda. Trump himself posted a comment on his own personal propaganda platform, Truth Social, proposing to outlaw political thought and speech that he doesn’t like. Just like his hero Vladimir Putin does in Russia.

SEE THIS: Putin Prodigy Trump Calls to Criminalize Democratic Socialism and Deport Its Leaders

Taking his orders from Dear Leader Trump, House Squeaker MAGA Mike Johnson is now also fear mongering about scary, but imaginary, communists. Johnson’s morning press briefing was a full blown “commies are on your doorstep plotting to kill and your family” tirade. He let loose a blast of explosive diarhetorical bombast warning that the long-fabled “red scare” is upon us, and our literal survival is at stake. He said in part (because in full it’s too tedious and insane) that…

“These crazy little Mamdanis who are popping up all around the country, they are a danger to you and your family. This is not a game…So we are here as the Republican Party to stand on the founding principles of the greatest nation in the history of the world. It is our duty to do that.

“And we’re doing it on behalf of all of you. Even the journalists who don’t agree with our policies all the time. You better agree on these principles because that’s what keeps you free. By the way, it’s what keeps the press free, okay? This is essential for your well-being and your family…We’re arguing whether or not freedom is going to survive…We’re in a war.”

Mike Johnson: "Even the journalists who don't agree with our policies all the time — you better agree on these principles. Because that's what keeps you free."

OH NOES! Not “crazy little Mamdanis” popping up all the place. Never mind that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is one of the most popular public figures in America today. That’s what makes them such a threat to me and my family, in the eyes of Trump’s MAGA-tists.

That’s pretty frightening, isn’t it? But Johnson’s alarm at what he sees as threats to the free press is even more frightening. Not because there is anything rational about it. But because he is so utterly oblivious to the actual threats that Trump poses to the media.

Trump has been referring to the free press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people,” for years. He has filed dozens of lawsuits intended to punish and intimidate any journalists who dare to report honestly about him. He shepherds corporations run by sycophantic, right-wing, billionaires through the regulatory hurdles that Trump controls in his administration. He has even had journalists arrested for accurately reporting his documented words and deeds.

Ironically, Trump is the one who is implementing communist-like control over the “means of production” by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government, and defunding public media such as PBS, NPR, and Radio Free America.

What’s more, Trump and his radical, totalitarian, comrades couldn’t even define communism. They just use the word as an all-purpose pejorative to whip up fear in their equally ignorant cult followers. So they call all Democrats – and particularly Social Democrats – communists. But in reality, Democratic Socialists are in the mainstream of American politics. They are responsible for things like Social Security, interstate highways, public libraries, Obamacare, and more.

It’s not a coincidence that those are among the most popular programs in the nation’s history. And that’s another thing that frightens the MAGA-tists and Trump. It leaves him so discombobulated that he does pitiful and preposterous things like this…

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.

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.

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…
