Wannabe King Trump Threatens New Yorkers to Vote Against Mamdani or Suffer His Wrath

Posted by on September 29, 2025 at 10:38 am. 1 Comments :

Donald Trump isn’t doing much to dispel the notion that he is an aspiring authoritarian who yearns to reign like the dictators he admires, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. To the contrary, he keeps providing additional evidence of his autocratic tendencies, even as he whines about being called a fascist.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

This week Trump directed his “Justice” Department to indict former FBI Director, James Comey, despite having no evidence of any crime. He deployed his StormTrumpers to Portland, Oregon, promising to use “full force” against the American citizens living there. He delivered an absolutely bonkers address at the United Nations where he told other member nations that “your countries are going to hell,” and complained about alleged sabotage of his escalator ride and TelePrompTer. This is not normal behavior for a president – or anyone else.

SEE THIS: Trump’s 97% Solution is Further Evidence of His Declining Mental Acuity and Pathological Lying

On Monday morning Trump upped the ante of presidential idiocy by issuing a threat to the people of New York City. He posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was rife with animus and imaginary invectives. He raged that…

“Self proclaimed New York City Communist, Zohran Mamdani, who is running for Mayor, will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party. He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City. Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises. He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him? This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed! President DJT”

Let’s begin to break this down by noting that Mamdani is not now, nor has ever been, a communist. And he has certainly never self-proclaimed to be one. Trump likely couldn’t define the word if his life depended on it. But he uses it as an all-purpose slur to fear monger his weak willed cult followers. And if he really thought that this “will prove to be one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican Party,” he would keep his fat mouth shut. Obviously, he is scared witless of Mamdani and the Democrats in the Empire State.

More to the point, Trump is threating the citizens of New York with unspeakable harm if they choose to exercise their right to vote, but fail to select the candidate of Trump’s choice. His threat violates several federal statutes that prohibit him from abusing the power of his office to intimidate or punish people for how they vote. The Constitution also forbids him from misappropriating funds based on political criteria.

This is just another act of pure totalitarianism for Trump as he tries to interfere with an election by promising to withhold federal funds. Those funds would be used to pay for many critical services in the city and the state, including Medicaid, transportation, infrastructure, safety net services, education, healthcare, and more. He wants all New Yorkers to suffer if they do not obey his electoral demands.

This is a particularly grotesque threat considering that New York is a “donor” state, meaning that it pays more into the federal treasury every year than it gets back. That’s about $89 billion more. And yet, Trump thinks that he can punish New Yorkers by denying them these funds as if they came out of his own pocket. In reality, they come from New Yorkers themselves. Maybe they should withhold those funds from Trump’s regime in Washington.

This should not be considered just a threat toward New York. If Trump thinks he can do this to NYC, then he could try to do it to any city or state that doesn’t bend to his fascist will. And submitting to threats like this will only embolden him and his criminally dictatorial bullying. He cannot be allowed to blackmail voters.

We have a process for choosing representatives in America It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution. But “we the people” do care. And he had better learn that lesson.

Trump, in an Ignorant Rage, Threatens New York For Freely Choosing Mamdani Over His MAGA-STY

Posted by on September 15, 2025 at 12:32 pm. 0 Comments :

Poor Donald Trump. While still grieving over the loss of his friend, ultra-conservative organizer Charlie Kirk, he is soldiering on with his life and his work. Keeping his tee time at his golf club, attending Yankees games, and ordering military occupations of American cities that don’t want or need his “help.”

Donald Trump

From the outset of the shooting, Trump has been baselessly blaming Kirk’s death on “radical left lunatics” who he says ““want to destroy America.” Rather than seeking to unite the nation, he is purposefully pouring gasoline on an already volatile conflagration of hatred that he and his MAGA-ites have been fueling for years.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Justice Dept Disappears Study that Proves Most Violence is Caused By Far Right Radicals

The dangerous defamation that Trump is disseminating continued on Monday with his posting of a missive on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He complained about New York’s Governor Kathy Hochul endorsing Rep. Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City. Trump lashed out babbling that…

“Governor Kathy Hochul of New York has Endorsed the ‘Liddle’ Communist,’ Zohran Mamdani, running for Mayor of New York. This is a rather shocking development, and a very bad one for New York City. How can such a thing happen? Washington will be watching this situation very closely. No reason to be sending good money after bad! President DJT”

Why Trump thinks that it’s “shocking” for a democratic governor to endorse a fellow democrat can only be explained by his rapidly deteriorating mental acuity. However, it is not the least bit shocking that Trump has once again lied about Mamdani’s political affiliation. He is not now, nor has he ever been, a communist. Although, in Trump’s defense, due to his inbred ignorance, he surely has no idea how to define the term.

What’s worse is Trump’s threat to withhold federal funds from New York if the voters there choose Mamdani to lead their city. It’s called democracy. And Trump has repeatedly made it clear that he is utterly opposed it. A recent District Court ruling blocked Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funds as an unconstitutional abuse of power. Not that he cares about the courts – or the Constitution.

Trump’s threat promises to punish everyone in New York simply because they have the audacity to vote independently for the candidate of their choice. In Trump’s mind that is sacrilege. He cannot grasp how they could refuse to obey his MAGA-sty. It is yet another demonstration of his open aspirations to reign as a king, beholden to no one and to no law. Which makes the statement that Hochul made in her endorsement all the more relevant. In her support for Mamdani she said that…

“In light of the abhorrent and destructive policies coming out of Washington every day, I needed to know the next mayor will not be someone who would surrender one inch to President Trump,”

That’s a message that every elected official in America – and every American – must take to heart if the democracy that this nation has practiced for 250 years is to endure. And every day it becomes clearer that in order to preserve our freedom, Trump must go. 8647!

Trump Admits that His Reason for Moving Space Force HQ from Colorado to Alabama is Petty Politics

Posted by on September 2, 2025 at 2:11 pm. 0 Comments :

If there is one thing that we’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that everything that Donald Trump does is driven by what he determines is best for him. Whether it is to enrich himself through scammy business enterprises, or to increase his power through authoritarian practices. He is laser focused on advancing his own interests at the expense of everyone else.

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

Donald Trump, Snake Tongue

The evidence of Trump’s selfishness and greed is apparent in his constant grifting from the White House. He peddles everything from hats (made in China), to crypto-coins, to Trump Bibles (also made in China), and so much more. A good deal of his profiteering is managed by the company he set up to serve as his propaganda platform.

SEE THIS: The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud

On Tuesday Trump disclosed that he would be making a special announcement from the White House. It was so important that he arrived nearly an hour late. When he finally showed up he revealed that he had made the decision to move the Space Force headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, Which is a ridiculous idea. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for no discernible gain. NORAD is already based in Colorado. While Alabama is in the middle of the nation’s hurricane zone. However, Trump did eventually get around to offering his reason for the move saying that…

“The problem I have with Colorado – they do mail-in voting. They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections. And we can’t have that. When the state is for mail-in voting that means they want dishonest elections, because that’s what that means. So that played a big factor also.”

Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: "The problem I have with Colorado — they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-09-02T18:53:55.736Z

Of course, Trump has had a longstanding aversion to mail-in voting. Mainly because any procedure that makes it easier for people to participate in democracy is anathema to him and the Republican Party. He recently decreed via a preposterous and unlawful executive order that he is abolishing mail-in voting.

MORE HERE: Herr Trump Decrees that He Will Abolish Mail-In Voting and that States Must Obey His MAGA-STY

For the record, eight states and Washington, D.C., allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state. Twenty-eight states offer “no-excuse” absentee voting, which means that any voter can request and cast an absentee/mail ballot for any reason.

So are we to assume that Trump will now discriminate against all of those states when it comes to any benefits that the federal government can dispense? That would be consistent with how Trump always seeks to punish or get revenge against anyone that he perceives as insufficiently worshipful. It is consistent with totalitarian dictatorships. But it is wholly inappropriate for a democratic leader.

In his remarks Trump also referred to several major American cities as “hellholes,” lied about tariff revenues, smeared some his political foes, exalted himself, and regurgitated several of his favorite scripted fallacies. But his admission to why he is moving the Space Force command is a particularly brazen and despicable example of his narcissistic corruption. And unless Democrats muster the courage to defy him, it won’t be the last.

Ted Cruz Tries to Smear Democrats for the ‘Most Egregious Gerrymanders’ but Fails Egregiously

Posted by on August 21, 2025 at 2:28 pm. 0 Comments :

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been engaged in a fierce battle with Republicans who are plotting to steal the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. The GOP is scheming to rig the elections by imposing an unprecedented and unconstitutional mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Donald Trump.

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

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

To counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off. In response to Newsom’s efforts, Republicans have tried to justify their election rigging by accusing Democrats of what the GOP is doing. It’s a wholly disingenuous argument coming from the people who started this redistricting war.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Among the Republicans who are trying to blame Democrats for the current political posturing is Texas senator Ted Cruz, who has made political posturing an art form. He posted a question on Twitter/X for Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, asking it to “Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders.” Grok replied that it was both parties with Democrats being three out of the five…

That response didn’t really affirm that Democrats were more nefarious gerrymanderers, as Cruz had hoped. But neither was it a vindication of either party. So it seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list beyond merely five states. And that produced a very different result…

The longer list shows that Republicans were the most egregious gerrymanderers in seven out of the top ten states. So Cruz was either deliberately distorting the results by limiting his question to five states, or he simply didn’t care to get a broader, more accurate view.

That’s typical of the modern, MAGA-infested Republican Party. They are purposefully seeking to deceive voters because they know that the truth will reflect badly on them. As Stephen Colbert once observed, “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

This was confirmed last night by Fox News hack Sean Hannity, who complained about Newsom “spen[ding] the last several weeks bashing president Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more.” Hannity pretended to be concerned about whether this was helping or hurting Democrats. He concluded that it was hurting Newsom, despite polls showing Newsom’s approval rating surging since he began his redistricting fight and his hilarious, all-caps mockery of Trump’s Truth Social posts.

For good measure, Hannity also offered up his opinion of Newsom’s recent, more aggressive politicking. He criticized Newsom saying that his “performative confrontational style—maybe it wins you points with the loony radical base in your party but America is not going to vote for that record.” Does that description sound like anyone else you know?

Herr Trump Decrees that He Will Abolish Mail-In Voting and that States Must Obey His MAGA-STY

Posted by on August 18, 2025 at 11:54 am. 0 Comments :

The goal of the totalitarian dystopia that Donald Trump has been craving just got closer to realization with his posting of a tediously long and lie-riddled rant on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Adding to his deployment of ICE stormtroopers in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and his directives to have his Justice Department persecute his political foes, Trump is decreeing a new and obvious breach of the Constitution aimed at advancing his autocratic aspirations.

Donald Trump, Vote By Mail

Trump’s latest tyrannical outburst decrees that he will unilaterally abolish what he calls the “THE MAIL-IN BALLOT HOAX.” [Has anyone been counting his alleged hoaxes?] His proposal would end mail-in voting throughout the country. It’s part of a plan that Trump is executing to rig elections in order to suppress the rights of voters and support the election of his MAGA Republicans. And it comes on the heels of his campaign to redraw congressional districts to favor the GOP and deny Democrats a fair vote.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

In Trump’s post he virtually admits his anti-democratic intentions, saying that it is his purpose to harm Democratic voters “with their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies.” But there is so much more in his extended harangue that ought to concern all Americans. For instance…

“I am going to lead a movement to get rid of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, and also, while we’re at it, Highly “Inaccurate,” Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES.”
The elimination of mail-in voting – and electronic voting machines – would make it impossible to conduct the vote counting in a timely manner. It would also be more prone to errors.

“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED.”
This is a flat out lie. At least 30 other countries permit mail-in voting. That includes Russia. Which is a ludicrous example of fair voting practices, but who Trump used to support his lie.

“WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER.”
Trump is projecting again. It is he and the GOP who are most commonly found to have cheated in elections. More to the point., he has no power to order how elections are held, especially not by executive order.

“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them.”
HOLY CRAP! Trump is saying out loud that he believes that he, as president, can issue mandates to the nation that must be obeyed, and that override the state sovereignty provided in the Constitution.

“Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM. ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS.”
What Trump means here is that he is scared to death of fair elections, and that they must not be permitted in the future. He has previously said that if mail-in voting is allowed “There will never be a Republican elected to high office again.” Which sounds more like a reward than a threat. However, he has also taken the opposite position, urging his supporters to “vote absentee, by mail, early in person, or on Election Day.”

For the record, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1, of the Constitution states that “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.”

In short, the president does not have the authority to alter the way states decide to hold their elections. At best he would need to get Congress to pass legislation to make any changes to state law.

Not that Trump gives a damn about the Constitution. Although, it could be interesting to see if Republicans in Congress would willingly give up their Constitutional authorities. They have done it before for Dear Leader Trump. But hopefully there are lines that even they won’t cross in their betrayal of American principles.

Trump Deploys ICE Thugs to Gavin Newsom’s Press Conference in an ‘In Your Face’ Show of Force

Posted by on August 14, 2025 at 2:47 pm. 1 Comments :

The totalitarian tendencies of Donald Trump continue to reveal themselves in ever greater clarity as his fear and desperation grow. He knows that none of his attempts to deflect from his unsavory relationships with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have worked, and his approval polling keeps going down, so he’s upping the ante.

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

On Thursday Gov. Gavin Newsom held a press conference to announce his plan to fight back against the election rigging by the Republican Party via unprecedented and unlawful mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Trump. So to counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off.

SEE ALSO: Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

However, while Newsom was presenting his plan to the press, Trump’s thugs gathered outside of the venue where the press conference was being held and began arresting people. This neo-fascist tactic was reported by Aishah Hasnie on Fox News during an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem…

Fox News: This is coming from our reporters in L.A. right now, where they say that Border Patrol has arrived outside of the downtown L.A. venue where Gov. Gavin Newsom is actually holding a press conference today. And it appears that those Border Patrol agents are making arrests of illegal immigrants.

I don’t know if they were at this press conference or they were in the area. But this is a very ‘in your face way’ to let Democrats know that you are gonna do your job. That you’re gonna carry out these Trump policies. Can you just respond to this video that we’re watching right now?

Noem: Every single one of our ICE Border Patrol operations is built on information, on investigative work. It’s a case and an operation that has been planned because of who they think could be in that area and what they have for information that shows that there are illegal criminals there. Remember, we’re focusing on the worst of the worst.

"In your face" — Fox News plays video of Border Patrol agents arresting people right just now outside Gavin Newsom's press conference

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-14T18:54:21.885Z

Hasnie accurately described the ICE actions as an “in your face way” of intimidating Democrats in general, and Newsom in particular. It is not a coincidence that ICE was operating right outside of the Newsom press conference. And neither Fox News nor Noem even tried to deny it. Noem virtually admitted that the operation was “planned because of who they think could be in that area.” And the only information that they had as to who would be there was Gavin Newsom.

Newsom was aware of what was taking place outside and he mentioned it during his address saying that “Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it’s coincidental?” Newsom, however, was not intimidated by ICE or Trump. And he let them know in no uncertain terms, exposing Trump’s failures and weakness…

“He’s a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we’re having a conversation like this? Someone who’s weak. Someone who’s broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.”

Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-08-14T19:33:44.817Z

Trump’s brazen escalation of hostile and anti-democratic assaults on his political foes should concern every American. He is becoming less and less hesitant about his authoritarian aspirations. And Newsom is taking the right approach in not allowing Trump to get away with any of it. The rest of the Democratic Party – and all American patriots – need to join this fight to halt Trump’s tyrannical takeover of the nation.

Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution

Posted by on August 7, 2025 at 1:33 pm. 3 Comments :

The abysmal job approval ratings achieved by Donald Trump are currently among the lowest he has ever recorded, as well as the lowest of his modern predecessors. And with regard to the issues that he has deemed crucial, he is underwater on everything from immigration and deportations, to tariffs and trade, to foreign policy and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, to the economy, and more.

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

That explains why Trump and his MAGA minions are desperately plotting to rig the 2026 elections in order to maintain their tyrannical grip power. To that end, Texas governor Greg Abbott has assembled a special session of the Texas state legislature to force a rare mid-census redistricting, intending to redraw the district maps to favor Republicans and oust Democrats. Although he may end up regretting the partisan hornet’s nest that he has aroused.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Not one to be left out of any fiery news cycle, Trump joined in with his own ideas that represent a massive escalation of his war to crown himself King of America. On his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump posted a comment announcing his intention to raise the ante on redistricting with a grossly unlawful scheme to steal the elections in 2026 and 2028 and beyond…

“I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024. People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

First of all, Trump couldn’t care less about accuracy or facts. If he did he would not have just fired the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics simply because he didn’t like the accurate facts that were revealed in the recent jobs report.

More to the point, Trump’s decree to conduct a new census on a purely political partisan basis is blatantly unconstitutional. Not that he cares about that either. But the Constitution clearly states how the census is to be conducted in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, which says that…

“The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.”

So according to the Constitution, the census is to be conducted once every ten years. There is nothing in that clause that allows for more frequent surveys. There are also no funds allocated by Congress to pay the $15 billion dollars that it costs to do a new, complete census.

However, that isn’t the only Constitutional obstacle to Trump’s ludicrous plan. He says openly that he wants his new survey to exclude “People who are in our Country illegally.” That is also prohibited by constitutional law. The 14th Amendment, Section 2, states that…

“Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.”

While undocumented persons do not vote, they are persons. And it is critical to know the total number of all persons to ensure that states receive and allocate adequate resources to serve their entire resident population. You cannot simply pretend that real human beings don’t exist. An accurate complete count impacts everything from housing, to police and fire services, to education, to nutritional and health matters, to traffic, and more.

What’s more, the financial contributions of undocumented persons to the economy need to be assessed. For instance, in 2022, undocumented immigrant households paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes, and had $299 billion in spending power. They also fulfill labor needs in fields such as agriculture, construction, healthcare, etc. And they pay into the Social Security Trust Fund, even though they cannot collect from it. In fact, undocumented immigrants paid $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes in 2022.

Consequently, Trump’s idea of excluding undocumented persons from the census would be materially harmful to every municipality, and to the nation as a whole. Meanwhile, any changes to the apportionment of congressional representatives or Electoral Collage votes would be minimal with offsetting impact for both parties.

In conclusion, there is no reason to conduct another census with Trump’s racist adjustments other than to satiate the hatred by Trump and his MAGA movement. And the legal barriers to it are impossible to overcome without actions taken by Congress or constitutional amendment.

Trump tried this before and was struck down by the Supreme Court with a decision written by conservative Justice John Roberts. So maybe Trump’s motivation for doing this is not just to steal an election. Maybe he’s also using it as yet another distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell affair that he is trying so feverishly to avoid. And he’s losing on both counts.

Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Posted by on July 14, 2025 at 2:59 pm. 0 Comments :

The Republican Party’s electoral prospects in 2026 are rapidly becoming more dire as Donald Trump and virtually every one of his policy priorities are sinking to ever lower depths of disapproval with ever growing majorities of the American people.

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

Trump’s job approval ratings are currently among the lowest of his modern predecessors. And with regard to the issues that he has deemed crucial, he is underwater on everything from immigration and deportations, to tariffs and trade, to foreign policy and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, to the economy, and more, including his most recent debacle, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill“ for billionaires and ballooning deficits.

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Given the abysmal fate that is hovering over the MAGA GOP, Trump and his Republican cohorts are plotting to rig the 2026 elections in order to retain power. Texas governor Greg Abbott recently announced that he will be calling for a special session of the Texas legislature to force a rare mid-census redistricting. The purpose of which is to redraw the district maps to favor Republicans and oust Democrats. As reported by MSNBC…

“Trump has reportedly been leaning on Abbott to rejigger the state’s 38 congressional districts to help protect the slim Republican majority in the House ahead of the 2026 midterms. The president, terrified of a repeat of the 2018 midterms that opened the door to two impeachments against him, has zeroed in on even more extreme gerrymandering to limit Democrats’ midterm gains.”

Trump has good reason to be afraid. If Democrats regain majorities in the House and Senate, they have a cornucopia of corrupt practices by Trump and his cronies to investigate and to hold accountable where appropriate under the law.

However, the desperation move by Trump and Abbott may backfire on them. Firstly, because moving some Republicans into Democratic districts may not be enough to flip them from blue to red. Although it could make the previously safe red districts more vulnerable to flipping to blue.

What’s more, the GOP election manipulation plot in red states might result in reciprocal action in blue states. In fact, Gov. Gavin Newsom is already teasing that possibility for California. In a conversation with The Tennessee Holler, Newsom said (at 7:53)…

“I saw what Gov. Abbott did today, announcing a special session that will include redistricting. These guys aren’t f**king around. They’re playing by a totally different set of rules. And here I am in California trying to raise the bar of bipartisanship. Years and years ago we did independent redistricting in a state that I assure you – with two-thirds majorities in the legislature – could gerrymander like no other state. And we’ve been playing fair. When I saw what he did today, it made me question that entire program.”

Newsom concluded by warning that Republicans, who “have no shame and no limits,” are crossing a red line with threats to democracy. Which is a line that was actually crossed long ago. Trump frequently refers to Democrats – who represent at least half the country – as “evil” and “the enemy.” And more specifically, the Trump regime has attack Gov. Newsom in the most vile and anti-American way. For example, Trump’s White House Director of Communications, Steven Cheung, took a precarious leap into comparing Trump’s moral character with Newsom’s. Not a very smart move…

It’s always easy to tell who Trump is most afraid of. It is those who are the least afraid of him, and who will call him on his bullsh*t without hesitation. Newsom is emerging as one of the most courageous and effective Trump critics. Consequently, he will also be one of Trump’s most frequent targets. The problem for Trump is that Newsom is far more intelligent and is backed up by the truth. Trump would be wise to STFU for change. And since that would be wise, don’t expect it to happen.

Mission Accomplished, MAGA! You are now the proud owners of an agenda that is profoundly anti-American and causes unprecedented misery for millions of people who are mostly your own voters. As the impact of Trump’s policies takes hold, inflation and consumer prices will rise, jobs will decline, and the reputation of the United States internationally will sink to new depths of disrespect. All driven by the ignorance of Trump and the cowardice of his GOP suck-ups in Congress.

The response to Trump’s BUBBA bill has been an enthusiastic thumbs down. Every poll shows that it is widely opposed by majorities of the American people. That would bode ill for the GOP’s electoral prospects in the upcoming elections of 2026 and 2028. Consequently, the party is taking steps to insure their maintenance of autocratic control of the government with an orchestrated outpouring of dishonest propaganda.

Naturally, that campaign of cult programming is conducted by Trump’s Ministry of Disinformation, Fox News. And they are leading off with an attack on someone who they obviously regard as a threat to Dear Leader, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas. On Thursday morning, Fox’s Harris Faulkner completely mangled a news report about Crockett saying that…

“A shocking poll shows Texas Democrat Congresswoman, Jasmine Crockett, is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn’s Senate seat. Even bigger news though, the massive backlash over her making the Texas flood disaster all about her. Well, it’s not news, cause she does that with everything. Even talking about her hair style. That’s an odd mix of topics.”

First of all, the poll that Harris is referring to is not about the race between Crockett and Cornyn. It is about the race for the Democratic Party’s primary candidates, ranking Crocket with her Party colleagues Colin Allred, Beto O’Rourke, and Juaquin Castro. In that poll Crockett is indeed leading at this time. It should also be noted that this poll was conducted by National Republican Senatorial Committee. Which is not exactly a neutral source.

Faulkner might have been closer to something newsworthy if she had brought up the poll for the Republican Party primary, where Sen. Cornyn is currently nine points behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. They are both MAGA devotees, but Trump has declined to endorse either of them yet. He will likely endorse whoever is ahead when it gets closer to election day.

Trump may also lean toward Paxton because they have so much in common as disgraced politicians with an aversion to ethical behavior. Paxton has a long list of legal troubles, ethical controversies, and scandals that have surrounded him during his tenure as Texas Attorney General. Including his being under indictment on three felony charges of securities fraud. He was also impeached by the Republican-controlled Texas House on charges of bribery, abuse of public trust, obstruction of justice, and retaliation against whistleblowers. Should be a slam dunk for Trump.

Getting back to Faulkner’s crackpot critique of Crockett, Faulkner claimed that the “bigger news” was the alleged “massive backlash” over Crockett “making the Texas flood disaster all about her.” Faulkner’s source for that was a report by the wingnut “Daily Caller” whose evidence of a backlash consisted of Crockett saying in an Instagram post that…

“My heart is truly heavy for all of these families. The sad part is I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue to do our best to survive an administration that literally is against us, An administration that is doing everything, in my mind, to hurt us and not help us. And it feels like we are fending for ourselves and no one should feel that way.”

To anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex (which leaves out Faulkner and her Fox News viewers), Crockett is expressing a concern, not for herself, but for the grieving families in Texas, and for the American people more broadly. And Faulkner’s dig at Crockett for “talking about her hair style” was merely an afterthought that Crockett added to her post because people were asking about it. She wrote, “Edit: My staff said y’all are commenting about my?BOB! Thank you @jacorean_ for orchestrating the look.”

The fact that Faulkner and Fox News would devote valuable airtime to any of this is proof of just how scared they are of Crockett. They can’t handle the notion of a brilliant Black woman with a law degree and a seat in Congress challenging the supremacy of MAGA and Trump. And by the way, if they don’t like Crockett, they aren’t gonna like the other prospective Democratic candidates for the Texas Senate either. So maybe they should just sit this one out, or stop whining.

Fire Lara Trump! The Fox News Host is Violating Network Policy By Floating a NC Senate Bid

Posted by on July 6, 2025 at 12:10 pm. 0 Comments :

The Era of Donald Trump has introduced America to some profoundly disturbing new concepts in government and politics. They range from his expressing admiration for the nation’s enemies, while insulting and alienating its allies; enriching himself at the expense of his own worshipful cult followers; and pursuing a path to his reigning as an anti-democratic dictator in the mold of his fascist heroes.

Fox News, Lara Trump, My View

All the while, Trump has greased the skids of this decline in democracy by suppressing and lambasting the free press and replacing it with a propaganda regime based on the sycophantic idolatry practiced in totalitarian societies like Russia and North Korea. His own Cabinet exudes the glassy-eyed adoration of unquestioning disciples.

Trump has front-loaded his administration with billionaires and devotees recruited from Fox News (21 so far). They include Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense), Tulsi Gabbard (Director of National Intelligence), and Sean Duffy (Secretary of Transportation). While he has simultaneously dispatched members of the Trump cult to Fox News to spread his manufactured messages and lies.

Chief among those is Trump’s own daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, who earlier this year debuted her own show on Fox News. Predictably, it has been a circus of Trump-fluffing interviews and disinformation. The absurdity of an alleged “news” network giving a primetime program to a close relative of the sitting occupier of the White House is impossible to overstate. Imagine how the MAGA cult would respond if Hunter Biden were given his own show on MSNBC.

Now a new controversy has enveloped Lara’s program. With the announcement that North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis will not be running for reelection, speculation has emerged that Lara would vie for the seat. While she was born in the state, she has not lived there in ten years. What’s more, she previously considered running for the Senate in Florida, where she currently resides. However, the fact that Lara is using her platform on Fox News to promote her possible candidacy ought to be causing trouble for the right-wing network.

To be clear, this would only cause a problem if Fox News operated with any shred of professional integrity. Which hasn’t been the case since their founding. However, their own employee policies prohibit Lara from remaining on the air. The Fox Political Activities Policy specifically references “running for political office” as an activity that would trigger concerns about ongoing employment. Even if the candidacy is only under consideration. It says that…

“Any employee considering running for elected office is encouraged to consult FOX Government Relations early in the decision-making process to review the relevant laws that could impact the employee’s candidacy.”

Fox News is well aware of this likely breach of their corporate rules and regulations. In 2022, citing the company policy, Fox News pink-slipped Lara as a contributor on Fox when she was mulling her bid for senator in Florida. But now it’s an even more blatant violation as she hosts her own show that features nothing but GOP guests hyping her sugar-daddy-in-law’s agenda.

Nobody should hold their breath waiting for Fox News to do the right thing and cancel Lara’s program. In fact, they are increasing her exposure with guest appearances on other Fox shows, such as Hannity and Fox and Friends. And none of those segments mention that she would be a carpetbagger in North Carolina, where she would have to establish residency by September 20, 2025, in order to run. Will she and Eric vacate their Florida home for this? Stay tuned.
