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.

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 mow 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."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-07-14T15:19:48.074Z

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.

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.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-07-06T20:14:30.224Z

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…

WHUT? MAGA Mike Johnson Says that No Proof of Election Rigging is Proof the Election Was Rigged

Posted by on June 9, 2026 at 12:02 pm. 4 Comments :

Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican flunkies are totally discombobulated by the fact that Democrats are leading in the elections in California. They simply cannot understand how Democratic candidates could be favored in the most Democratic state in America. Someone call the Waaahmbulance.

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

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

The GOP and their Dear Leader think that if a Republican who is a former Fox News hack, and another who is a reality TV goofball, are not winning, there must be something terribly wrong. It’s become a mantra that the MAGA-tists chant every time an election doesn’t go their way. And they go back and forth between seething outrage and flaccid apathy.

SEE THIS: MAGA Mike Johnson Pitifully Tries to Cover For Trump Saying ‘I Don’t Care About the Midterms’

Leading the charge to declare all election outcomes phony if Republicans don’t win, is the GOP Speaker of the House of Representatives, MAGA Mike Johnson. And he is employing some novel arguments to make his case. In an exchange with CNN’s congressional correspondent, Manu Raju, Johnson shamelessly floated the theory that the absence of factual evidence of wrongdoing is proof that wrongdoing took place. When asked about the whether he though the California electins were rigged, Johnson whined that…

Johnson: I’m not saying it’s rigged. I’m saying it stinks to high heaven, and everybody knows that. Let’s remove the appearance of impropriety. What a concept. Let’s have votes on an election the day of the election. That’s what many states are able to do. I think California is playing around with us.
Raju: But what evidence is there to prove that the election was rigged?
Johnson: Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream, it is impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively something is wrong here, and that’s a concern. We need people to believe in the integrity of our election system.

Let’s unravel Johnson’s flaming bullshittery. To begin with he denies saying that the election is rigged, only that it stinks. What exactly is his point? Then he complains that the election results aren’t finalized on election day. Which is common in states that have mail-in voting, including Johnson’s state of Louisiana.

More to the point, Johnson’s contention that Democrats have engaged in something so “diabolical” that “it is impossible to prove” any wrongdoing. And he claims that the absence of such proof is therefore proof in itself of wrongdoing. He thinks that Democrats are so good at covering up their schemes that the schemes must have taken place. By that logic, Johnson is actually the Zodiac Killer. And the proof is that there isn’t any evidence of it. So he must have been really good at covering it up.

Johnson went on to claim that “everybody knows instinctively something is wrong.” And as an experienced lawmaker and leader of his party, Johnson knows that “instinct” is the criteria on which legal rulings are based. Who needs facts or evidence when you have strong feelings? Did the defendant murder his wife? I feel like he did, so send him to the gas chamber. Case closed.

That’s the level of intellectual scrutiny that Republicans give to election integrity. It’s a bar that was placed extraordinarily low by their Dear Leader Trump. And Johnson is very concerned about people believing in the integrity of our election system. Which is why he and Trump do nothing but trash the system every chance they get, without even a shred of evidence. That will instill the confidence he claims to crave, right? Right? RIGHT?

Clearly the Trump regime couldn’t care less about election integrity. To the contrary they are focused solely on creating skepticism and division. They know they can’t win elections on the merits of their policies and competence. So their only remaining option is make as many people as possible doubt that the elections are legitimate.

Hence their fixation on declaring that is everything rigged, despite never providing any proof. And now that absence of proof, in their minds, is its own proof that it’s all rigged. What a brilliantly asinine strategy to undermine democracy.

BE AFRAID! Mike Johnson Frets About ‘Little Mini Mamdanis Popping Up All Around the Country’

Posted by on May 13, 2026 at 3:03 pm. 1 Comments :

The rapidly approaching midterm elections in November continue to stir deep seated anxieties in the Republican Party as their prospects for any sort of favorable results fade into the realm of improbable fantasy. Most recent polling show Democrats winning a solid majority in the House (despite the GOP attempts at redistricting), and a pretty good chance of taking the Senate as well.

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

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson

The predictions of a massive Blue Wave are driving GOP leaders into frenzies of desperation. They are utterly incapable of competing on the merits of their ideas or their records in office. So they are resorting to the most pathetic campaign tactics that rely solely on lies and smears. In other words, The Trump Strategy.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Insane Posts, Including Calling for the Arrest of Obama for Treason

Leading the way is Republican House speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson. During a Wednesday morning interview on Fox News (where else?), Johnson revealed his innermost fears of the dreadful electoral outcomes that await him and his party in the near future.

“The way I describe it in summary is that there are little mini Mamdanis popping up all around the country. Okay? And they’re openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history.”

OH MY! Johnson is quite right. This country has never before been invaded by mini Zohran Mamdanis, the recently elected – and massively popular – mayor of New York City. And Johnson is also right to be afraid. These marauding Democrats are threatening to take the nation by storm, improving the lives of every American and advancing the principles of freedom and liberty. That alone should strike terror into the MAGA-tists. Even without the ludicrous lies that Democrats are “avowed socialists” espousing “Marxist ideology.” No wonder the GOP elite are scared. But Johnson was just getting started…

“The Tea Party resetting the Republican Party was about fiscal responsibility. This is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology, and that’s a dangerous thing for the future of the country.”

Really? Johnson is apparently oblivious to the fact that the current mood in the nation’s politics is dominated by the abysmal fiscal irresponsibility of the Trump regime that has resulted in higher costs of everything from gas and groceries, to housing and healthcare, and so much more. He is also blissfully unaware that it is Trump who is undermining the Constitution at every opportunity, and cozies up to his communist idols like Vladimir Putin. Johnson wraps up saying that…

“The problem we have, the insurgent left, the far left has all the energy, excitement, and the money in the Democratic Party. This is not our father’s Democratic Party anymore. They are going far, far left, and no one’s there to stop it.”

Once again, Johnson is right. “This is not our father’s Democratic Party.” Much as he wishes it were. In fact, he wishes it were a political party and era more like that of his great grandfathers, when women and people of color had no rights or voting privileges. and Democrats like Mamdani knew their place. Johnson is also right that there is no one who can stop it.

So maybe Johnson should just sit down and shut up for while as the adults run the country. It’s not like he’s actually doing anything anyway. He has presided over the least productive Congress in decades. And his overarching tendency has been to surrender every last remnant of the constitutional duties of the Legislative branch of government to Dear Leader Trump. Including allowing Trump to pocket billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money…

The MAGA GOP speaker says that an action by Trump's "Justice" Department (to pay him billions of dollars) "is not in my purview." ???Oversight of the Executive branch and its agencies is a core function of Congress. Johnson is, once again, surrendering his jurisdiction to Dear Leader Trump.

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.

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

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…

SEE THIS: Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

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.

Dementia J. Trump Calls the Supreme Court ‘STUPID’ as the Birthright Citizenship Case Begins

Posted by on March 30, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

There are two wars currently raging for the United States. One is the “little excursion” that Donald Trump embarked upon against Iran on phony allegations of nuclear capabilities, and without getting authorization from Congress, as required by law. The other is Trump’s war against democracy here at home, where he is desperately trying to avoid an electoral blowout in the November midterms.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s fear of Democrats assuming majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is driving him to plot far more detailed strategies than anything he has done for the Iran conflict. Which isn’t a very high bar, because his plans for Iran are little more than bomb everything, declare victory, then bomb some more anyway. But his fellow Americans that he regards as the nation’s real enemies get much greater attention…

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

Trump is justified to be worried about Democrats gaining control of Congress. The list of his impeachable acts is growing by the day. And that isn’t even counting his criminal acts that violate state and federal laws, as well as the Constitution. And the prospect of Democratic victories across the country is as near a certainty as election predictions can get.

So what is Trump doing to defend himself from this approaching political massacre? He is resorting to his typically anti-American tactics of trying to rig elections and suppress turnout. Because he knows that campaigning on his broadly unpopular policies and abysmal record would only result in failure. Consequently, he is embarking on a path to steal the midterms by making it harder, or impossible, to vote. To that end he posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, advocating ways to undermine democracy.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on Birthright Citizenship, Trump thinks calling them "STUPID" will secure their votes.He also criticizes selling American citizenship, which is a policy that he introduced with his $5 million Trump Gold Card.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-03-30T17:02:29.230Z

Trump’s comment outlines some of his favorite methods of interfering with elections. such as attacking the principle of “Birthright Citizenship” that is enshrined in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. The amendment explicitly grants citizenship to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States.” Trump would love to invalidate all of those voters. And he is hoping that the conservative majority on the Supreme court will help him to achieve that goal. However, Trump’s strategy to get the Court to rule in his favor is, to say the least, unique. He wrote that…

“Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more, FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America. It is about the BABIES OF SLAVES! We are the only Country in the World that dignifies this subject with even discussion. Look at the dates of this long ago legislation – THE EXACT END OF THE CIVIL WAR! The World is getting rich selling citizenships to our Country, while at the same time laughing at how STUPID our U.S. Court System has become (TARIFFS!). ‘Dumb Judges and Justices will not a great Country make!'”

What a brilliant move by the alleged master deal maker. Insult all of the Justices – six of whom are conservative, including three that he appointed – as too dumb to make correct decisions. And he referenced the recent ruling that declared his inflationary tariffs unconstitutional. Does Trump think that insulting the Justices will secure their votes in his favor?

What’s more, Trump also blasted the notion of paying for citizenship. Which is peculiar because that’s actually a policy that he introduced with an executive order creating his “Trump Gold Card.” For a mere $5 million dollars, anyone can buy American citizenship, including drug traffickers, fraudulent business people, and foreign spies.

Insulting and threatening people as a means of getting them to support him is nothing new for Trump. He did the same thing recently while trying to get his so-called “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act) passed in Congress. He threatened his own Republicans saying that “I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST ‘SAVE AMERICA!!!” And he insulted members of both parties over the same issue.

That ought to do it. Who wouldn’t want to vote with Trump after that highly effective method of persuasion? Especially considering how popular he is with the American people right now.

UH-OH! Fox News Poll Spells DOOM for Trump and His MAGA Republicans in Congress

Posted by on March 27, 2026 at 1:55 pm. 0 Comments :

Less than a year and a half ago, Donald Trump managed to eke out a narrow victory and return to his occupation of the White House. And it didn’t take long for him to successfully sink the electoral prospects of his blindly obedient MAGA minions in what can now be called the Republican Cult.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Trump’s agenda of imposing unlawful and inflationary tariffs that increased the cost of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing, to healthcare, and more, were just the beginning of his assault on the American people. He followed that up with deployments of his ICE StormTrumpers in U.S. cities. Then he decided to wage an unprovoked and illegal war against Iran. And all the while disgorging virulent hate speech intended to divide the American people.

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

The first year of Trump’s second term could not have been more politically crippling if he had devised it deliberately to destroy the GOP. His approval ratings have broken through the basement floor and are heading toward the Earth’s burning core. And this isn’t the opinion of what he calls the “radical left lunatics” in the mainstream media. Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, just a released a poll that found him floundering.

Fox published their results in an article declaring that “Sour voters say Washington is out of touch.” That headline actually bails Trump out by suggesting that it it isn’t his fault that everything sucks. It’s those “sour” voters. But the rest of the article wasn’t as gentle.

The article began by noting that “Voters are not only dissatisfied with the direction of the country but also pessimistic about the economic outlook.” The poll found that “Nearly two-thirds, 64%, are dissatisfied [and] that’s the highest dissatisfaction rating of President Trump’s second term.” Then the article elaborated saying that…

“His worst numbers are on inflation, with a new low of 28% approving […] His 34% approval for the economy is another new low, down 6 points since January and 9 points from a year ago. Other ratings are also well underwater: healthcare (36% approve, 64% disapprove), Iran (36-64), taxes (36-64), foreign policy (38-62), and immigration (44-56).”

Trump is unlikely to be able to improve on any of that between now and the midterm elections in November. One important reason for that is that he isn’t even trying to. To the contrary, he is doubling down on his widely opposed domestic policies by insisting that everything is the best it’s ever been in the history of mankind. And he’s celebrating his war in Iran as a “little excursion” that he says he won in the first hour, three weeks ago. Which begs the question, why is he still fighting, and even escalating, with thousands of troops being deployed to the Middle East, and requests for $200 billion more in funding?

It’s tempting to muse that, with regard to Trump, “When you’ve lost Fox News…” But Trump has never been satisfied with the polling by Fox. He frequently goes on the network to whine about their polls that sometimes put him in a negative light. But Fox News remains his mass media mouthpiece. And polls like these will rarely turn up on the primetime shows that Trump watches. So most of his cult followers will never see these numbers. However, here’s an example that snuck through during a daytime program…

Fox News may be accepting the reality that Trump is a mentally impaired loser whose star is fading. More likely, they realize that their audience is already aware of how dismal their lives are without Fox or Trump trying to persuade them that they are prosperous and happy. In any event, expect Trump to chastise Fox for having the audacity to post these poll results. He will surely regard it as an act of betrayal, and he might even sic his FCC boss on them with impotent threats of revoking their licenses (that don’t exist).

SRSLY? Trump Threatens Democrats With ICE Thugs in Airports to Coerce Passage of DHS Funding

Posted by on March 21, 2026 at 12:11 pm. 0 Comments :

For the third time since Donald Trump returned to his vengeance and ego driven occupation of the White House, the nation is mired in a government shutdown orchestrated by Trump and his MAGA Republicans in Congress. And it only took a little over one year to match or exceed the record for duration of a shutdown – twice.

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

Donald Trump Angry

No rational observers are falling for the GOP spin that Democrats are responsible for the shutdown. Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. If they were interested – or competent – they could have easily negotiated agreements that avoided the shutdowns, but they preferred to hold the American people hostage, forcing them to suffer skyrocketing health insurance costs, and tolerating violent tactics by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement thugs (ICE). They never really wanted to avoid the shutdowns…

SEE THIS: King Trump Craves a ‘Forever’ Shutdown, Whining that ‘You Can’t Make a Deal With These Lunatics’

The burning issue that Trump and the GOP are fixated on this time around is the passage of funding for ICE in a Homeland Security appropriations bill. Trump and his MAGA toadies refuse to consider common sense proposals to reign in the brutality of his untrained and unqualified ICE agents. They would rather cripple government services that Americans rely on, and force federal employees to miss work or go without pay. And on Saturday morning Trump weighed in with a crackpot comment posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.”

REALLY? Trump is effectively admitting that the tactics employed by his ICE StormTrumpers are so hostile and dangerous that they are useful as threats to coerce Democrats to obey his authority. But it’s not an especially wise position to take for an agency that already has broad disapproval ratings. Does he think that the American people want to be screened for travel by the same masked thugs who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

What’s more, Trump is regurgitating the right-wing talking points that accuse Democrats of being responsible for the disruptions at airports due to the Republican shutdown. In reality, it is Democrats who have offered proposals to fund the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), as well as FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other Homeland Security functions. But Republicans have voted against those proposals – five times so far.

Trump’s comment also suggested that ICE agents at the airport would be able to make the “immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants” Does he think that immigrants are coming in illegally by plane, where there are already checkpoints screening foreign passengers? And in a ridiculous and racist aside he specifies that there will be a “heavy emphasis on those from Somalia.”

Trump’s brazen bullying and threats are unlikely to achieve his goal of convincing Democrats to pass the DHS funding bill without reforms. The “art-of-the-dealer” is proving how pitiful his negotiating skills actually are. He can’t even get all of his Republicans in the Senate to sign on. But this new threat sinks to ever lower depths of depravity. If anything, it will result in an even worse defeat in Congress.

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump and His Propaganda Secretary Have No Idea What the State of the Union Address Is For

Posted by on February 24, 2026 at 1:15 pm. 0 Comments :

On Tuesday night Donald Trump will be straying from his customary schedule of golfing, dining at the Mar-a-Lago buffet, and rage-watching Fox News, to deliver his State of the Union address (SOTU) before a joint session of Congress. It’s going to be a strain on him physically and mentally, but he’ll soldier through, if only to bask in the adoration of his MAGA GOP disciples.

Donald Trump, Wah

The State of the Union is a constitutionally mandated duty of any president. Although it doesn’t have to be delivered live or in a speech, it has become a traditional affair since first being broadcast on television live in primetime by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. Now 60 years later, Trump is planning to diminish its significance further with the help of his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News.

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

The SOTU is supposed to be a dissertation on the current welfare of the nation. Presidents are expected to give an honest appraisal of the country’s condition on matters of importance both domestically and internationally. However, Trump will have difficulty with that objective considering that it requires being honest, something that he is congenitally incapable of.

The pre-speech comments by Trump reveal that he actually has no idea what the SOTU is intended for. He thinks that it’s just another platform for him to spew self-serving lies to exalt himself and malign his political foes. He deliberately lied to reporters on Monday saying that…

“We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had. We have the most activity we’ve ever had. I’m making a speech tomorrow night, and you’ll be hearing me say that. It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about.”

So Trump has no intention of telling the truth about the State of the Union. He is promising instead to ramble on interminably about how magnificent he is, and all of the wonderful, albeit imaginary, things that he’s done. Never mind that reality vehemently contradicts him. The country is still suffering from high inflation that is mainly due to his idiotic tariffs. His ICE agents are terrorizing American citizens along with law-abiding immigrants. We are threatening war against foreign nations without any rational cause. All of which has contributed to his historically abysmal approval ratings.

By pontificating on what he believes are his glorious accomplishments, Trump is actually just reminding everyone about what a pitiful failure he is. The people know how much their groceries cost, and how much they are paying for other necessities, including housing and healthcare. No amount of gaslighting by Trump will persuade any but his most brainwashed cult devotees that we are living in a Trumpian utopia.

Nevertheless, the Trump regime is dead set on trying to convince the American people that everything is just hunky dory. Which is why Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was out Tuesday morning previewing the lies that Trump plans to disseminate in his speech tonight.

“He’ll be sharing these stories again of everyday Americans who are directly benefiting from his policies, and making a few new policy announcements as well as to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago, And the president will be talking about the positive metrics we have seen and moving forward towards making life again more affordable and prosperous for all Americans.”

Karoline Leavitt: "The president will be making a few new policy announcements to continue tackling the affordability crisis that Joe Biden created one year ago." (Joe Biden was no longer president one year ago.)

Just like Trump, Leavitt is squarely focused on delivering a speech that celebrates Trump and his fantasies of fabulousness. She even slips in a slam on President Biden, who could not have created an affordability crisis a year ago because he was not president then. Also, didn’t Trump say that the whole “affordability” thing was a hoax?

The SOTU promises to be another lengthy harangue by Trump that wouldn’t pass for plausible fiction. However, it may offer some drama. While he has said that he’s inviting MAGA-tized guests like Erika Kirk (Charlie’s widow), Democrats will be attending with some Epstein/Trump survivors, and victims of his ICE thugs. So will have to face some of those who he hurt the most.

While Trump will be pitching a preposterously rosy scenario, it’s safe to assume that he won’t be mentioning at all some of the critical issues that the American people really care about. Such as the current government shutdown, his inflationary tariffs, his loss at the Supreme Court, his impending war with Iran, his obstructing the release of the Trump-Epstein files, or so many other matters that he’s anxious to suppress because they reflect negatively (i.e. realistically) on him.

If Trump thinks that this address is going to reverse his sinking popularity, he’s going to be sorely disappointed. And that disappointment will likely trigger even more raving madness from Trump. So fasten your seats belts. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride. And in the meantime, watch the “People’s State of the Union“ instead.
