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

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

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

Fox News, Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The upcoming midterm elections in November are going to have a profound impact on the remaining two years of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House. It is likely that Democrats will regain the majority in the House of Representatives, and have a good chance of doing the same in the Senate.

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…

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BE AFRAID! Trump’s Propaganda Secretary Warns Fox News About Imaginary Marxist Democrats

Posted by on June 29, 2026 at 3:08 pm. 1 Comments :

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican confederates are becoming increasingly anxious about just how brutally they will be beaten. Current polling indicates that a massive Blue Wave is building momentum that could severely cripple the GOP for the remainder of Trump’s occupation of the white House, and beyond.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Consequently, Trump is ramping up the hyperbole in his daily incoherent rants. He’s giving deranged speeches that consist mainly of infantile insults aimed at his perceived enemies, exaltations of himself for his vanity driven Capitol “beautification” projects, and dispensing lies pretty much every time he opens his mouth. Most of all, he is trying to malign Democrats as anti-American traitors, but his characterization of them as villains from 1950s comic books isn’t helping his own self image at all.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Resorts to Threatening People to Respect Him or ‘You’re Going to Have a Problem’

On Monday morning Trump dispatched his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to her regular post on Fox News to assist his failing PR campaign. It doesn’t seem like she did much to help. But she gave it her all in attempting to advance Trump’s latest desperate effort to portray Democrats as communists. She engaged in the following exchange with Fox’s Lawrence Jones…

Leavitt: These are radical, Marxist ideas that have never worked in the history of the world. And I think that it’s a choice coming up between communism and common sense. That’s how the president views it. And that’s why Americans need to vote for this president and Republican Party and the common sense ideals that make this the greatest nation in the history of the world.
Jones: Do you think this helps the president and the Republican Party during the midterms that they have decided in this Democratic Socialist civil war that this is the new Democratic Party?
Leavitt: It certainly is.

Leavitt: "That's why Americans need to for this president" (when will people be voting for Trump again?)

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-06-29T12:42:33.037Z

This is yet another example of dimwitted, purposefully misleading, Republicans demonstrating that they have absolutely no idea what the definition of communism is. They just use the word as an all-purpose pejorative to frighten their equally ignorant cult followers. They might as well be warning about a pack of invading Sasquatch soldiers.

Leavitt and Trump and other hive-minded Republicans were triggered by recent primary victories by progressive Democrats. Some of them identify as Democratic Socialists, who are not communists. In fact, Democratic Socialists are in the mainstream of American politics that brought about things like Social Security, interstate highways, public libraries, Obamacare, and more of the most popular programs in the nation’s history.

What’s more, the GOP’s efforts to brand Democrats across the country as Socialists is small minded. The Democratic Party is big enough to embrace progressive Democrats in blue states and conservative Democrats in red and purple states. It isn’t one size fits all with blinded purity tests, like Republicans.

Communism, on the other hand, is a theory of government that proposes eliminating private ownership and placing the means of production in the control of the government. There is absolutely no Democrat who has supported anything even close to those ideas. Ironically, only Trump has advocated for those policies. And in office he has been exerting state power over previously independent institutions such as banking, defense, technology, transportation, and even the free press.

Trump has wielded that power by taking a role in corporate mergers, demanding multimillion dollar payments from corporations seeking government favors, and even forcing corporations to sell parts of the businesses to the government, or to him. It’s hard to tell if knows the difference. It’s as close to communism as any American president has ever come.

As for the media, while Trump has defunded public media such as PBS, NPR, and even Radio Free America, he has literally sued media conglomerates for billions of dollars, forcing them to either pay up or suffer retribution dished out by regulatory agencies over which he has assumed corrupt control. And too often they have acquiesced. Communist leaders like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un are watching with envy.

The closer we get to the midterms, the more brazen Trump is getting. Just this month he has posted comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, warning that…

“In a time when there is a powerful Communist Movement taking place in our Country, one more dangerous than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or September 11th.”

And that…

“I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. […] These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists.”

So far, none of this is succeeding in improving Trump’s standing with the American people. Which means that, knowing Trump, we can expect him to continue to sharpen his attacks and make them even less comprehensible. And of course, he will lie and misrepresent reality to his MAGA cult at every opportunity. As an example of how far he will diverge from reality, Trump is claiming to have his “Highest Poll Numbers Ever.” No, really…

For the record…Trump's poll numbers at RECORD LOWS! But even worse, he's saying here that they are the highest ever "DESPITE" Iran not having a nuclear weapon??? Someone on his incompetent, asskissing staff needs to tell him that's backwards. And also untrue.

Fox and Friends Trump-Fluffers are Dumbstruck When Told the Truth About Trump Losing in Iran

Posted by on June 28, 2026 at 2:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The propaganda machine of Donald Trump and his Gaslighting Gang is spinning furiously to deceive the American people about what is happening in Iran. For the most part , the only people being deceived are Trump’s gullible flock of cult disciples who have been brainwashed to believe what ever he says.

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

Fox News, Donald Trump Baby

It’s difficult to keep track of the number of times that Trump has declared that a ceasefire was agreed to with Iran, followed shortly by renewed bombing. Now in its fourth month, the war that Trump promised would take only days continues to rage despite his insistence that Iran’s military has been completely destroyed, and then destroyed again, and again, and…

SEE THIS: BREAKING? The Iran War Will End in ‘Days’ According to Trump, Who Has Been Saying that for Months

Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is playing its part in these deceptions. But even they are finding it harder to maintain their composure when confronted with inconvenient truths by their own guests. For example, on Sunday morning conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg was invited to join the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends for what they thought would be a friendly chat about Trump’s “victorious” misadventures in Iran. It didn’t go well from the start, with co-host Griff Jenkins saying that…

“The way the administration sees it, and president Trump, is ‘We can go as long as we want. And ultimately finishing it for good is on the table.'”

What Jenkins was referring to was Trump’s recent genocidal threat that “Iran will no longer exist” if they violated the ceasefire agreement that Trump has already violated. But rather than getting the expected blind concurrence, Rosenberg went rogue, saying that…

“We can’t go for as long as we want. Clearly the gas prices are too high. Midterms are coming up. Look, let’s have an honest discussion about this…We haven’t won anything yet. I’m sorry Mr. President to break the news. But we haven’t won anything yet. There’s no end to this. We’re kind of in the same exact place we were a couple of months ago. They’re still striking us. We’re still striking them. Israel is still nervous. And quite frankly, American voters are still nervous. So how do you claim victory when the game is far from over? We’re in the 6th inning.”

The Fox Friends were visibly stunned into silence. They couldn’t refute Rosenberg, so they didn’t even bother to respond. Rosenberg went on to discuss how Trump keeps threatening Iran, but that they don’t care and are not being compelled to make any concessions. Rosenberg also noted that there is no actual deal, only a vague memorandum of understanding that promises Iran billions of dollars while committing them to nothing but opening the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before Trump started all of this.

This illustrates how hard it is for Fox News to keep up their propaganda. But they are nothing if not determined. Yesterday they interviewed White House deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson, who rattled off some blatantly false talking points and the preposterous assertion that “Trump has been right about everything on Iran.”

This White House flack says that "Trump has been right about everything on Iran.""Their military has been totally destroyed." WRONG!"The Strait [of Hormuz] is open." WRONG!"Oil and gas prices came down." WRONG!The question is: Has Trump been right about ANYTHING? [NOPE]

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-27T09:23:25.487Z

Which is the sort of painfully obvious nonsense that we can expect from Fox News, who also said this on the unrelated subject of Trump’s disastrous “Freedumb 250” fair in Washington, D.C…

FOX NEWS BEING FOX NEWS:Reporting at Trump's "Freedumb 250" flop that "We've got thousands of people celebrating," while the video shows a few dozen lost tourists.And he hopes that a lot of them went home to watch this fiasco on Fox. So they can hear him lie about it? ?????

Lying Fox News Gets Schooled on X After Quoting Trump Lying About Oil Flowing Out of Hormuz

Posted by on June 23, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

The regularity with which Fox News disseminates wholly fabricated fantasies on behalf of their Republican benefactors has been a hallmark of their so-called “journalism” from its inception thirty years ago.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

If anything, they have become even more consistently dishonest as the years went by. Particularly since they adopted an obsequious affinity for the notoriously pathological liar, Donald Trump. And Trump’s deceit has grown exponentially with regard to his reckless and illegal war against Iran.

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, bragging about his imaginary successes in his Middle East misadventures. He said that…

“19 Million Barrels of Oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait yesterday, an all time RECORD. Oil prices are tumbling down, and the World is a much safer place!!!”

Virtually everything in that comment is untrue. Oil prices are still much higher than they were before the war. The oil is not flowing smoothly through the Hormuz Strait. And the world is hardly safer with Iran getting billions of dollars as a result of Trump’s “peace deal” that they are free to spend on new military equipment and funding for terrorists groups, but with few concessions on their part.

Shortly after Trump posted that comment, Fox News reported it on their X/Twitter account. They prefaced it by saying that “Trump is celebrating what he says was a record day for oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Unfortunately for Fox News, their focus on Trump’s assertion about the “all time record” for oil flowing through the Strait got a fact check by the moderators on X/Twitter. A “community Note” was attached to the post that said simply that “Pre-war, 20 million barrels passed through the gulf each day, on average.”

So not only was it not a record, it didn’t even match the average for pre-war oil flow. Even worse, as reported by Fortune, “US Central Command said on Saturday that 17 million barrels had passed through Hormuz.” So even according to the military leadership under Trump, the oil flow was less than both average flow, and the lie that Trump told.

This is another example of the multilayered patchwork of lies by Trump and his MAGA media minions that have become routine. And when we add them to his lies about everything from the economy, to immigration, to his many tributes to himself (ballrooms, reflecting pools, triumphal arches, etc.) we end up with a compendium of concoctions that don’t come close to passing the smell test.

And yet, Trump’s cult continues to believe whatever he tells them. And his MAGA media continues to regurgitate what they know are flagrant falsehoods. But the good news is that the majority of the American people have seen through Trump’s deceptions and regularly dismiss them. Which is why his approval ratings are what are really in record territory, on the low side. November can’t come soon enough.

Fox News Reflecting Pool ‘Media Frenzy’ Story Features Trump as ‘MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH’

Posted by on June 22, 2026 at 2:43 pm. 0 Comments :

The continuing saga of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. has taken a firm hold on the limited attention spans of Donald Trump and his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. They both make mentions of it nearly every day, mostly to praise Trump’s obviously inept management of the project.

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

Fox News, Fake News

In less than three weeks since Trump declared his “renovation” complete, the Reflecting Pool had devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint and coating materials. So after spending upwards of $14 million on the unnecessary undertaking, it is likely going to cost millions more to repair the damage that Trump caused. And in the meantime, Trump is blaming the problems, for which he was solely responsible, on imaginary vandals.

SEE THIS: Trump’s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for ‘Vandalizing’ Reflecting Pool

Making matters worse, Fox News is running stories on the Swamp Pool that make no sense at all. On an episode of Fox’s “Big Weekend Show,” They had a segment on what they called the “MEDIA OBSESSION,” over Trump’s miserable makeover. Their subtitle for the segment was “Reflection Pool Sends Far-Left Media Into a Frenzy.” And as a bonus, the video included a picture of a protester with a sign that read “”MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH.”

Fox News says there is a "MEDIA OBSESSION" sending the "FAR-LEFT MEDIA INTO A FRENZY" over Trump's fouled up "renovation" of the Reflecting Pool. (With a bonus shot of a "MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH" poster).Wait up…Who's obsessed? Trump's been all over this for weeks.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-06-22T09:05:41.803Z

No one with a rational perspective of Trump’s reoccupation of the White House will argue with the sentiment on the protester’s sign. However, everything else in the Fox News story was preposterous.

It is Trump who has been obsessed with the Reflection Pool and his “mutilization” (his word) of it. He has been bringing out a giant poster of the Pool during press avails, on totally unrelated matters, that show that the length of the Pool is greater than the height of several tall buildings. To which a sane observer would ask, “So what?” But he apparently thinks it’s important enough to interrupt discussions of everything from his illegal war against Iran (that he’s losing), to the state of the U.S. economy (that’s he’s wrecking).

In addition to putting the Pool con job front and center at every public event Trump attends, he is posting about it relentlessly on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. Among the comments he posted are baseless claims that vandals sabotaged the Pool, for which he doesn’t bother to provide any evidence. Bear in mind that there are dozens of cameras all around the Pool, so if there was any vandalism, there would be ample proof of it.

In another comment Trump asked “who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE!” And with a curious question mark also seemed to be asking “We will fix it?” And he also announced that “Many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool.” Once again, there is zero evidence of that. But that hasn’t deterred Trump from threatening many years in prison for the mythical miscreants.

If anyone is truly interested in apprehending and punishing the person(s) responsible for defiling the Reflecting Pool, here is a tip: He currently resides and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., although he spends quite a bit of time at a fancy resort in Palm Beach, Florida called Mar-a-Lago. Let’s see if the authorities can track down this malignant, anti-American perpetrator.

The latest catastrophe on Trump’s playlist is his so-called “renovation” of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C. He spent upwards of $14 million on it, and in less than two weeks it has devolved into a swampy mess of algae and peeling paint.

True to form, Trump is genetically incapable of taking responsibility for anything. So he is trying desperately to blame this blunder on anyone else. This led to his manufacturing a claim that it was vandals – you know, “radical left lunatics” – who endeavored to destroy the perfect beautification effort that he had personally forged. He even said that the U.S. Park Police had arrested multiple suspected vandals, although there is no evidence of that.

In support of Trump’s contrived accusations, his U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has announced that she is pursuing criminal charges against the imaginary vandals. And she is beginning with threats against a member of the media who dared to report on Trump’s Swamp Pool. Pirro was interviewed by Peter Doocy of Fox News Sunday morning…

Doocy: Trump has a crime-stoppers tip for you. He says “Lightweight ABC reporter Jonathan Karl was seen sticking his hand into the Pool and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.” Is Jonathan Karl in trouble?
Pirro: Well, it depends. Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize the Reflecting Pool will face the criminal justice system in D.C. The president has made it a priority to make D.C. not only safe, beautiful. And there are several citations that have been handed out to individuals, and these are cases that will be prosecuted to the full extent

Of course, Karl broke no law by demonstrating how the coating that Trump had applied was peeling off. Clearly Karl was not vandalizing anything. But Pirro leaves open the possibility that he could be prosecuted.

Pirro is adamant that she will prosecute anyone who vandalizes the Reflecting Pool. Never mind that there is zero evidence of any vandalization. Which is interesting because her boss has determined that anyone who storms Congress, destroys public property, and threatens the lives of representatives, gets a pardon and maybe millions of taxpayer dollars?

So according to Pirro, the seditionists who ransacked Congress and threatened to hang Mike Pence get a pass. But nonexistent Swamp Pool vandals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This is the brand of justice practiced by Pirro, a former Fox News host who had not worked professionally in the law for twenty years when Trump plucked her up from Fox. And Pirro’s record as U.S. Attorney has been notably awful. As reported by CNN…

“The DC US attorney’s office under Jeanine Pirro has had an unusually low win rate in trials in Washington’s federal district court this year…In its first eight criminal trials this year, the DC US attorney’s office has won only half of them — far below the national average.”

Among the cases for which Pirro failed to win convictions, or even bring to trial, was one involving a Subway sandwich “terrorist” who threw a footlong at an ICE agent. She also wasn’t able to get a Grand Jury to indict a group of Democratic veterans serving in Congress, including Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, on charges of sedition because they lawfully reminded soldiers of their sworn duty not to obey illegal orders.

The American people will be comforted knowing that during the Trump administration Swamp Pool vandals will be harshly dealt with, while violent insurrectionists will get off scot free. And the same goes for billionaires who commit fraud. And the same goes for pedophiles associated with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, including his best friend Donald Trump.

WOW! Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth Admits Trump’s Iran Deal Gets Nothing that Obama Didn’t Get

Posted by on June 14, 2026 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The political and PR tug of war between Donald Trump and Iran is continuing to strain relations without making any observable progress. On Saturday Trump posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, declaring that an alleged “peace” deal would be signed Sunday (today). [SEE UPDATE BELOW on report of an alleged deal being reached – but no signing today]

Barack Obama and Donald Trump

The full comment that Trump posted was flagrantly dishonest and downright bizarre at levels never seen before (as he might put it). He insulted President Obama, misrepresented the deals by both Obama and himself, invented imaginary scenarios of future relations with Iran, and even threatened nuclear war. No, really…

SEE THIS: Trump Posts an Absolutely BONKERS Comment on His Fake ‘Peace’ Deal with Iran

On Sunday morning Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, was interviewed on CBS News’ Face the Nation by Margaret Brennan. During their discussion Hegseth admitted something that totally contradicts what Trump has been lying about for years with regard to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by the Obama administration to halt Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

Hegseth: Obama begged Iran for a deal. We bombed Iran, and then put in a blockade…The document says Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, won’t seek one, won’t buy one, won’t have one.
Brennan: JCPOA said that too.
Hegseth: But they didn’t have the threat of military force the way that we do…and that’s why they’re at the table. The huge difference is we did this from a position of strength. Trump led with military might.

Trump's Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, admits Obama got Iran to agree to never have nuclear weapons (which Trump denies and lies about).Then Hegseth said the difference is Trump did it with military force (costing billions and killing thousands), while Obama did it through diplomacy.

So Hegseth is actually conceding that the Obama deal secured Iran’s commitment to cease all of their nuclear weapons programs. That’s something that Trump has repeatedly said wasn’t true. Never mind that the very first paragraph of the JCPOA says that “Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.”

What Hegseth describes as the difference between the confirmed Obama deal and Trump’s more ambiguous and non-binding “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) is that Trump’s deal was obtained by military force and hyperbolic threats that TACO Trump kept reneging on. By contrast, Obama’s deal was secured through diplomacy, carried out by experienced negotiators, and verified by the independent International Atomic Energy Agency. None of which Trump’s team accomplished.

Hegseth implies that Trump’s hawkish warmongering is superior to Obama’s statesmanship, despite the fact that Obama got tangible results without spending billions of dollars and slaughtering thousands of innocent people. However, there are still no results whatsoever from Trump’s dealings after four months of a war that Trump said wouldn’t take more than a few days.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin, was also on the Sunday morning media circuit, On Fox News he praised Trump because “On his birthday he’s still working.” Then he specifies what Trump is “working” on. Was it the Iran deal that was supposed to be signed imminently? Or lowering costs for gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare? Or anything else that the American people actually want or need?

Nope. It’s his tacky and corrupt UFC birthday bash on the White House lawn. Because Trump’s priorities are squarely focused on what is most important – To him, and him alone!

UPDATE: According to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a comment posted on Twitter/X, “The Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED.” and that “The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June.” So there is no signing Sunday as Trump said, and a lot can change in a week. So nobody should be confident that this will pan out.

Also, while Trump posted a giddy, celebratory confirmation on Truth Social, there is no confirmation from Iran, and no details on the terms of the deal or whether it is a binding agreement or just an MOU. Also, nothing indicates that the deal contains anything that wasn’t already in the Obama deal. But reports say that Iran will get billions more from Trump, including $300 billion in recovery/reconstruction funds, and have less stringent restrictions and monitoring.
