GOOD NEWS! Trump Whines that He’s Not Gonna ‘Help’ Democratic Cities Oppress Protesters Anymore

Last year an acronym began circulating that described the tendency of Donald Trump to reverse himself out of fear that his wildly asinine and ill-considered comments would get him into even more trouble. The phrase “Trump Always Chickens Out” (TACO) was embraced by liberals, sane moderates, and never-Trump Republicans, to shine a light on his wobbly positions that were often abandoned when they were ridiculed by broad swaths of the general public.

Donald Trump, Immigrant, Child

Now there may be a new acronym to define the Crybaby-in-Chief: “Trump’s Whining Is Tedious” (TWIT). It remains an enduring mystery how the MAGA cult can regard Trump as a person of character and strength when his most prominent traits are anger, cowardice, and self-pity.

SEE THIS: Trump Whines That He Has ‘Accomplished So Much’ That ‘We Shouldn’t Even Have An Election’

On Saturday Trump lashed out at his innumerable perceived enemies in a lengthy tirade posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. The subject of his mental meltdown was the overwhelmingly negative response to the brutal and unlawful actions by his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs, taken against protesters in Minneapolis who are understandably outraged.

Trump is having a full blown meltdown. He can't stand it when true patriots who cherish democracy oppose him. And he considers his StormTrumpers to be "Warriors" against fellow Americans.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-02-01T11:47:52.810Z

What follows are some annotated excerpts from Trump’s rancid rant…

“I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help.”
Thank you! That is precisely what the citizens of Minneapolis – and many other cites and states – have been demanding. Why do you think they’ve been chanting “ICE OUT” wherever they encounter the masked oppressers?

“We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.”
Oh? So you still intend to wreak havoc when you can on peaceful protesters that you malign as “paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists,” despite having no evidence of those accusations?

“There will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence.”
Now you’re calling your StormTrumpers “Warriors” against fellow Americans who are merely exercising their constitutional rights. And you’re threatening consequences that are “equal” to “rock or brick throwing”? That isn’t law enforcement. That’s domestic terrorism.

“Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, ‘PLEASE.'”
Seriously? Now you want the people’s representatives to kneel down to you and beg for help. Should they say “Pretty please”? How about GFY?

“We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form.”
That’s funny. Because you not allowed it on January 6, 2021, but you pardoned more than 1,500 rioters who committed those crimes, many of whom pleaded to guilty to felonies including sedition.

This would be a good time for Trump to keep his word about staying of cities and states that don’t want or need his inciteful intervention. Unfortunately, he is unlikely to to restrain himself. He just can’t resist any opportunity to act out his tyrannical authoritarian aspirations. And at the same time, he can’t help being a petulant whiner. It’s something about himself that he has literally bragged about…

“I am the most fabulous whiner. I do whine, because I want to win. I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”

Pam Bondi Threatens All Journalists Who Defy Dear Leader Trump After Her Arrest of Don Lemon

From his earliest days in the political realm, Donald Trump has had a love/hate relationship with the media. He loves when they pay attention to him and put his name in the headlines. And he hates when they report honestly about him his legal and moral misconduct, and his anti-American, authoritarian aspirations.

Donald Trump, Censorship

As a result of this psychotic dichotomy, Trump often simultaneously finds himself lapping up the lavish praise that he gets from MAGA media like Fox News, while lashing out viciously at reputable journalists who are just doing their job. The former get favors from Trump and his regime, while the latter get insults and both personal and professional punishment.

SEE THIS: HOLY CR*P! Trump Floats Executive Order to Dictate to TV Networks What They Are Allowed to Air

On Friday morning CNN reported that Trump’s “Justice” Department had arrested Don Lemon on charges of interfering with worshipers at a church service in Minneapolis. The charges stem from Lemon’s coverage of a protest at the church where the pastor was also an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

Lemon’s presence at the protest was purely as a journalist. But the DoJ asserts – without evidence – that he was a conspirator in an effort to disrupt the church’s proceedings. Despite all available evidence, including video of Lemon’s reporting, Trump’s Attorney General announced that…

“At my direction, early this morning, federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”

It will be interesting to see what proof Bondi has that Lemon had participated in an “attack” that he “coordinated” with other protesters. Video of his reporting contradicts Bondi’s account. Just as video of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti contradicted the DoJ’s account of those atrocities.

However, Bondi was just getting warmed up. Later that morning she posted a message on Twitter/X that was plainly intended to squelch any dissenting views from the free press. In the sinister voice of a bad Bond villain, Bondi scowled…

“Make no mistake, under President Trump’s leadership and this administration, you have the right to worship freely and safely. And if I haven’t been clear already, if you violate that sacred right, we are coming after you.”

Lemon’s attorney, Abbe Lowell posted a message announcing that “Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.” He noted that Lemon’s arrest is an “unprecedented attack on the First Amendment.” It’s also a deliberate attempt to intimidate any other journalists who are contemplating reporting on the abuses of Trump and his fascist regime.

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Don Lemon (@donlemonofficial.bsky.social) 2026-01-30T12:58:15.840Z

The Trump regime previously tried to indict Lemon for his coverage of the church protest, but that attempt was rejected by a federal magistrate judge. Undeterred in their mission to muzzle the media, Trump and his flunky, Pam Bondi, have now taken another swing at Lemon that is likely to result in another embarrassing dismissal.

Unfortunately, the goal of the Trump regime may still have been achieved to some extent. Because what they are really interested in is sowing fear and intimidating journalists. They don’t take their own machinations seriously. That can be affirmed by the tweet that Trump’s White House posted today that made Lemon’s arrest into an asinine joke, saying “When life gives you lemons.” Which just goes to show how petty and disrespectful they are.

Trump thinks that arresting Don Lemon and other journalists in violation of the First Amendment is – FUNNY?WAKE UP AMERICA! Trump is orchestrating a fascist takeover.

Did a Fox News Host Steer Trump to Put Tom Homan in Charge of His ICE Thugs in Minneapolis?

The Calamity in Minneapolis orchestrated by Donald Trump and his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) StormTrumpers has proven to be massive millstone around the neck of Trump and his regime’s top henchmen and women. On an issue that Trump had leaned on heavily throughout his political misadventures, he is now deeply underwater and struggling to find a way to stay afloat.

Donald Trump, Fox News, White House

Recent surveys show that Trump’s approval on immigration is floundering at record lows. According to the Reuters/Ipsos poll “Fifty-three percent of Americans polled disapprove of the president’s immigration policy, while 39% approve of the job Trump is doing on immigration.” And no amount of gaslighting or whitewashing has helped to reverse the descent.

SEE THIS: RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

Consequently, Trump has been tenderly trying to walk back the rancid rhetoric that he has been yammering from day one of the horrific events in Minnesota, when he and his cronies smeared Alex Pretti as a “would be assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” He knows that the American people are repulsed by the deaths of peaceful, law abiding citizens, and that his attempts to viciously malign them have failed. But rather than admit any wrongdoing, or holding anyone accountable, Trump is trying to massage his messaging campaign to take the heat off of him without making any actual improvements.

Clearly Trump has no idea what to do. That’s why he has been waffling between blanket defenses of the atrocities he has caused, and pitiful stabs at displaying sympathy. The only marginally substantive reform he has taken is to cast his chief ICE enforcer in Minneapolis, Greg Bovino, into the corn field. But even that idea was not Trump’s. As reported by Brian Stelter of CNN…

“Around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, ‘Fox & Friends’ co-host Brian Kilmeade pitched a solution to President Trump’s growing political problem in Minnesota. ‘What I would do is just bring Tom Homan in,’ he said.

“Kilmeade, a Trump booster who knows the president often watches the morning show, volunteered the idea again at 7:15 and once more at 8:10. Homan, the border czar and a former Fox commentator, would ‘settle things down’ and help Trump, Kilmeade said.

“Maybe Trump was watching, maybe he wasn’t — but either way, he said, ‘I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight,’ 20 minutes after Kilmeade suggested it a third time.'”

So it appears that Kilmeade put the bug in Trump’s ear about replacing Bovino with Homan, and he embraced it in the hopes that it might ease the pain of sinking farther into the abyss of public disgust. Never mind that Homan is just as unsavory as Bovino, and he still has a corruption scandal hanging over his head alleging that he took a $50,000 bribe in exchange for delivering government favors.

The public’s view of Trump’s immigration policies has now deteriorated to the point that other Republicans are starting to show some spine by criticizing him. Actually, they are just getting to the point where they are more afraid of voters than they are of Trump. The result is that some – but certainly not all – are speaking out more critically of him than ever before.

Even some conservative media are turning against Trump. For instance, the right-wing National Review editorialized that “[Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem] has repeatedly demonstrated that she is incapable of speaking honestly about events like the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.” Which suggests that Trump’s critics on his own side won’t be satisfied until there are some terminations, indictments, or other form of accountability. And decent American citizens won’t be satisfied until Trump himself is held to account.

RUSH TO JUDGMENT: Fox News and Trump Blame the Victim for 2nd ICE Shooting Death in Minneapolis

“Tin soldiers and Trump is coming…” The only question now is how many more will die because of the callous savagery of Donald Trump and his fascist regime? The death that occurred Saturday morning on a Minneapolis street was entirely predictable and preventable, and was the direct result of a hostile, barbarous cabal of fascist mercenaries.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Lies

This marks the second fatality of an American citizen at the hands of Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. And it was no accident. The victim had committed no crime when he was mobbed by ICE agents, brutally pummeled, then shot to death, despite not presenting any kind of a credible threat. His murder was pre-sanctioned by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and its de facto chief in the White House, Trump’s Senior Fascist Advisor, Stephen Miller.

SEE THIS: Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

DHS says that the officers attempted to disarm a suspect, but that the suspect violently resisted. Video of the incident shows that the victim was pinned to the ground by four agents when one of them started shooting. So four agents armed with batons, pepper spray, handcuffs, and other policing paraphernalia, were unable to subdue a single man. There were at least five shots fired while the victim was laying on the ground motionless on his stomach.

This is the same DHS that said that Renee Good, a law abiding citizen and mother, was a domestic terrorist who ran over an ICE agent with her car, which the video shows never happened. Consequently, DHS cannot be believed about this. An independent investigation must be performed. Which could be difficult considering reports that ICE tried to keep local police away from the scene. That could be viewed as an attempt to cover up the facts, and perhaps to have an opportunity to plant false evidence.

Nevertheless, Fox News, before any review of the incident had even begun, drew conclusions siding with the ICE agents saying that “They are simply doing their jobs,” and laying part of the blame for this new atrocity on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The following exchange took place on Fox News shortly after the story broke…

Fox Reporter: If anything is dangerous and unlawful it’s what Tim Walz is doing. And there ought to be consequences. […]
Nicole Parker: They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs. And again, without the details of who this subject is, whether they were someone they were arresting, whether they were a bystander, a protester, frankly when you’re looking at the deadly force policies that’s completely irrelevant. For them they are literally looking at what we’ve gone over and over before. My piece of advice to anyone in Minneapolis, and frankly anywhere in the country, let the law enforcement do their job. If you don’t want to run into any problems stay out of the vicinity of law enforcement.

Fox News is defending feds killing another Minnesotan: "They are literally enforcing the law. These are targeted interactions, these are targeted operations. They are simply doing their jobs."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-24T17:04:01.826Z

So the first comments by Fox News were to place the blame on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Then their former FBI analyst claims that ICE was just doing their job, even while admitting that she is speaking “without the details.” Maybe she should just shut up until she has them. Then she concludes by advising American citizens to abandon their constitutional rights to dissent, and “let the law enforcement do their job.” Even if they are committing heinous crimes?

Naturally, Trump weighed in on this matter with his customary maliciousness and ignorance. He posted a comment that was exceedingly long and riddled with lies on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying in part that…

“This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about? Where are the local Police? Why weren’t they allowed to protect ICE Officers? The Mayor and the Governor called them off?”

First of all, even if it’s true that the victim had a gun, that is legal and is not evidence of any criminal intent. You would think that a 2nd Amendment fanatic like Trump would respect that. There is no evidence that the victim drew any weapon.

Trump quickly segued to questioning the actions of the local police and political officials. And typically, he did so without any proof of the bad behavior that he was blindly and irresponsibly asserting. But he was just getting started. Some other items in his tedious post included…

“Why does Ilhan Omar have $34 Million Dollars in her account?”
Setting aside the fact that that is absolutely untrue. what does it have to do with any of this? Other than to malign a Black woman in Congress who criticizes Trump.

“We are there because of massive Monetary Fraud.”
Now Trump is claiming that the reason he sent troops to Minneapolis was due to monetary fraud. So why did he send immigration cops rather than treasury? And why is this the first time he has ever mentioned it? And where are the arrests of perpetrators of fraud by his ICE thugs?

“The Mayor and the Governor are inciting Insurrection.”
Trump learned a new word: “Insurrection.” So now he using it to describe anyone that criticizes him on any subject. Just like he does with “hoax.” But he can’t provide any proof that Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey incited anything. They have consistently called for calm and peaceful protest.

Trump’s bizarre meandering from one subject to other unrelated subjects is further evidence of his cognitive impairment. He is flailing in the hopes of landing on a topic that his cult followers might lap up. But he is conspicuously failing to exhibit any kind of human emotion as a result of a man dying at the hands of his thugs.

None of this was necessary. None of it would have happened if Trump had not deployed military style troops to terrorize citizens in an otherwise peaceful American city. The victim had broken no laws when he was accosted. Nobody had to die today.

It’s painfully clear that ICE is the instigating factor. And they need to leave Minneapolis immediately, and every other American city, where they are provoking this violence on behalf of aspiring authoritarian Trump. It’s plain as day that he just wants to exploit the chaos that he is creating as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, and/or declare martial law, and realize his dystopian dream of dictatorship. But the American people are not going to let him do it.

Trump’s Asst Attorney General for Civil Rights Maligns Liberal Americans as ‘Godless People’

The public profile of Donald Trump has always been a mash-up of preposterously fabricated personal characteristics that never match-up with reality. Beginning, of course, with his efforts to portray himself as a successful businessman and deal maker. Which was a stretch for someone with numerous bankruptcies whose book on deal making was written by someone else.

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

Donald Trump Messiah

Trump has also tried to pass himself off as brave military advocate (who dodged the draft five times and called those who didn’t “suckers” and “losers.” And he fancies himself a peace proponent (who invades foreign countries and even American cities). And he regards his mental capacity as surpassing that of other mere mortals (because he “passed” simple cognitive tests meant to detect early onset Alzheimer’s). For these, and many other self-serving reasons, Trump insists that he deserves everyone’s gratitude.

SEE THIS: POOR BABY: Trump Whines that Polls Don’t Give Him Credit for ‘the Greatness of America’

And speaking of gratitude, we must not forget that Trump also considers himself to be America’s pastor. Despite rarely attending any church services, and frequently disparaging the faith of others, Trump wants to held in the highest esteem as a religious prophet. Never mind that he is a serial adulterer, patron of prostitutes, pathological liar, pal (at least) of pedophiles, and prolific user of profanities. He remains the messiah of the MAGA cult.

On Monday morning Trump’s Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Harmeet Dhillon, was “interviewed” by ultra-MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson. Johnson, by the way, is also a known asset of Russian propagandists. But that surely wouldn’t prevent any Trump cronies from embracing him. It probably helps.

During their discussion, Johnson and Dhillon talked about a recent incident where some protesters in Minneapolis interrupted the services of a right-wing pastor who also happened to be agent of the brutally inhumane Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). He was known to use his position in the church to defend the savage and unlawful tactics of ICE. The protest was seen by the Trumpist pair as an intolerable violation of religious liberty. So they took the opportunity to lie about and insult the protesters in a manner wholly inappropriate for any public servant.

Johnson: It’s not an act of journalism if I kick in the door of a synagogue and go up to the rabbi and start live-streaming that as people scream at the Jewish people trying to pray. Not that’s not an act of journalism. That’s terrorism.
Dhillon: One of the issues here is the people on the left that we’re talking about, they’re not familiar with what goes on in a house of worship. A lot of them are godless people.”

Assistant DOJ Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon: "The people on the left we're talking about, they're not familiar with what goes on in a house of worship. A lot of them are godless people."

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-19T15:46:18.731Z

To begin with, nobody “kicked in the door” of any religious facility. And to characterize the actions of the protesters as terrorism is to call Jesus Christ a terrorist. Anyone who has actually read the bible knows the story of when Jesus entered a temple and, upon seeing the sacrilegious activities carried out inside, overturned the tables and condemned the hypocrites.

In response, Dhillon accused the protesters of not being “familiar with what goes on in a house of worship.” Of course, she has no way of knowing that. And she doesn’t seem to be bothered by Trump not being familiar with anything regarding Christianity, or his brazen disrespect for all of its principles. You know, welcoming strangers, feeding the poor, healing the sick, humility, loving one another, etc.

This entire discussion was just another example of the hypocrisy that is employed by the Trump cultists, and their compulsion to exploit faith as a political tool in order to keep their glassy-eyed disciples in line. They have managed to live out the old saying that “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross” And they do it with an unfathomable degree of pride mixed with ignorance. Which isn’t surprising considering the model presented by their Dear Leader…

Stephen Miller Tells Trump’s ICE Thugs that They Have Immunity to Do Whatever the F**k They Want

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump continue to be put on display by him and his devoted cult disciples. And those aspirations encompass the most grotesque components of the tyranny that Trump craves.

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

Donald Trump Baby and Stephen Miller

From Trump’s first steps into the political realm he has openly sought to emulate dictators like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping, all of whom he regards as friends and lavishes with praise. Contrast that with how he treats fellow Americans, Democrats and Republicans, who fail to sufficiently worship him. They are maligned as “scumbags” and “traitors” and “the enemy within.” For example…

SEE THIS: Trump Accuses Democratic Members of Congress With ‘Seditious Behavior, Punishable by Death’

In the days following the gruesome murder of Renee Good by a hostile and unqualified agent of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), the Trump regime has been feverishly trying to justify that atrocity by smearing the reputation of Good, and brazenly lying about what took place. They insist that Good had deliberately run over ICE agent Jonathan Ross, despite numerous videos that show she was actually turning away from Ross, and that her car never touched him.

That flagrantly false smear campaign is still in progress. And on Wednesday it was taken to a new extreme. In a Twitter/X post. The Homeland Security Department dropped a reminder from Trump’s neo-Nazi advisor, Stephen Miller, to all of the ICE thugs patrolling American streets. It said…

“REMINDER. ‘To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.’ @StephenM”

Every word of that, of course, is utterly false. There is no such “federal immunity” And anyone, ICE agent or otherwise, is subject to the laws of this nation, and the states in which they operate. Merely saying that they have immunity has no legal standing. If ICE agents violate the laws of any state, or any federal laws, or provisions of the Constitution, they are subject to arrest, indictment, and prosecution. They are also subject to civil lawsuits.

Just for good measure, this question was put to Grok, the Twitter/X AI bot. And it was in complete agreement with the analysis above…

To make matters worse, Trump’s immigration czar, Tom Homan, was asked about whether he was concerned that video of ICE thugs brutally assaulting people would cause “Americans who see this [to] say this looks like Putin’s Russia.” He replied that…

“That’s ridiculous. You know what? In Minneapolis… [Homan then veers off into an extended and unrelated rant about Biden releasing millions of illegal aliens, and some nonsense about sanctuary cities. And then…] It makes it dangerous for the officer. It makes it dangerous for the alien. And It certainly makes it dangerous for the community.”

Q: In Mpls, we're seeing images like a woman who was dragged out of her car by federal agents. There are Americans who see that & say this looks like Putin's Russia–HOMAN: That's ridiculous. If they'd let us in their damn jails & stop being a sanctuary city, we could arrest bad guys in safety

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-01-14T17:11:07.085Z

In other words, “Yeah, it does look like Putin’s Russia, but so what?” Homan never answered the question about what the American people should think of innocent folks, including U.S. citizens, being physically assaulted by ICE. But he did justify the brutality of the ICE thugs, even if they were behaving like barbarians of the Putin regime. They seem downright proud of it.

What all of this tells us is that Trump and his comrades are determined to trample on the rights of the American people. And any attempt to criticize or resist will be met with violent punishment by the StormTrumpers. This is Trump’s vision of a fascist Amerika. And he isn’t even bothering to disguise it anymore. Which makes it all the more imperative to resist and to prevent them from carrying out their assault on democracy and freedom. If we stay strong, we cannot lose. 8647!

Trump Weighs In On the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis With a Flurry of Blatant Lies

On Wednesday morning a horrific, yet predictable, tragedy took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Donald Trump had just deployed his latest brigade of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to harass and intimidate peaceful protesters. The result was a shooting that left an innocent woman dead.

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

Donald Trump AR-15

Trump’s goon squads are notoriously untrained and ill-prepared for the duties they are being asked to perform. Consequently, when a situation arises that calls for calm and expertise, it rapidly escalates into a catastrophe where citizens are the sad victims of the violence perpetrated by alleged law enforcement personnel. And it’s particularly disturbing that a new example of this has occurred the day after the five year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection where Trump’s supporters stormed the United States Capitol, causing great harm and sending 140 police officers to the hospital

SEE THIS: Fox News Flunkies that Once Condemned Trump’s January 6th Rioters Have Totally Abandoned Reality

The incident in Minneapolis involved a woman driver who was approached by an ICE officer and ordered to get out of her car. Fearing for her safety, she tried to drive away. Whereupon the officer shot her point blank through her window, killing her.

For what? She had not committed any crime. She was not threatening the officers. There was literally no valid reason for the use of deadly force. But that didn’t stop Trump’s Homeland Security flunky, Kristi Noem, from getting in front of the nearest flank of media cameras to spread some deliberate disinformation, and labeling the deceased woman a “domestic terrorist.”

It didn’t take long for Trump to offer his opinion of what happened, And to no one’s surprise, he spewed an elaborate litany of lies in the comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth social. He said that…

“I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense.”

Every word of that is, to use the technical term, “BULLSH*T.” To break down Trump’s lies…

  • While there were citizen witnesses nearby who were screaming that ICE officers. the woman who was shot cannot be heard screaming at all.
  • There is no evidence that she was a “professional agitator.” In fact, there are reports that she was a legal observer.
  • She was not driving in a “disorderly” manner.
  • She was neither obstructing nor resisting, which isn’t relevant because she was not under arrest.
  • She clearly did not “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer.” He was standing unharmed at the side of the vehicle after the shooting.
  • There can be no claim of self defense since she had no weapon and was not using the car as one either.

However, Trump’s raging dishonesty had only just begun. He continued saying that…

“Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital.”

Once again, that is utterly and flagrantly false. The officer was not hit by the car. Neither was anyone else. Not even close. If he went to the hospital it could only be as a tactic to be able to later make a false claim of injury. Contrary to Trump’s babbling, his own video that he attached to the comment shows that the officer was off to the side of the vehicle immediately after he fired. The vehicle then coasted to a collision with a parked car. Here is a better video of the incident…

Video of the ICE shooting Minneapolis shows that they murdered an innocent woman who posed no threat to them whatsoever. She was driving away.What a horrible tragedy. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blatantly lied about it. She and the officer must be prosecuted!

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-01-07T19:58:43.026Z

The officer was not only standing unharmed after the shooting, but he quickly walked away, without any sign of injury, and fled the scene in another vehicle. That is not standard operating procedure at a crime scene. What was he afraid of? Was he ordered to get out of there in order to effect the cover up?

Trump closed his comment by blaming the victim, and lying that the left is responsible for violent rhetoric and actions. Which in untrue, and was proven to be untrue in a report by Trump’s own “Justice” Department. Although they tried, and failed, to destroy that report. He continued saying that…

“The situation is being studied, in its entirety, but the reason these incidents are happening is because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis. They are just trying to do the job of MAKING AMERICA SAFE. We need to stand by and protect our Law Enforcement Officers from this Radical Left Movement of Violence and Hate!”

Trump’s version of “studying” any situation is just a means of manufacturing lies to make himself look good, and to cover up his crimes. And his commitment to law enforcement officers can be seen in his pardons for 1,500 rioters, many of whom were convicted of assaulting the police. The fact that he rushed to judgment in this case is further proof of his rank disrespect for the law and the office that he holds. Hopefully the poor woman who needlessly lost her life, and her family, will get justice in the days and weeks ahead.

Does Trump’s Racist Pledge to Deport Naturalized American Citizens Include Melania?

Leave it to Donald Trump to grossly exploit a true human tragedy in order to exalt himself and divert attention from his multitude of failures. The latest example stems from the shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. by an Afghan refugee.

Donald Trump, Melania Trump

Consistent with his inbred bigotry and compulsive self-interest, Trump immediately embraced this news as an opportunity to malign all Afghans, including those who risked their lives to help American soldiers fighting the Taliban. He is predictably blaming all Afghans for a crime committed by one. And he’s doing it because he thinks this display of racism will reverse his collapsing approval ratings.

SEE THIS: TRUMP IS TOAST! Even In a Fox News Poll Most Say Trump’s Economic Policies Have Hurt Them

Late Thursday night, while most Americans were winding up their Thanksgiving day festivities, Trump was awake and rage-posting on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He disgorged an interminably long and tedious comment aimed at disparaging and threatening virtually all migrants in America. And he began with his trademark infantile sarcasm that he thinks is funny…

“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being ‘Politically Correct,’ and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.”

Heartwarming, isn’t it? It’s clear that Trump truly understands the meaning of this holiday and the peace and unity that it represents. But he was just getting started. He continued…

“The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. […] This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America.”

Trump’s foreign population estimate of 53 million includes naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), temporary migrants, and unauthorized immigrants. About half of all foreign-born residents are naturalized American citizens. Another 12 million are legal green card holders. That’s about 75% of the total. Trump’s claim that most of them are on welfare and are criminals or mental patients is just outright racism and patently false. And nothing contributes more to the “social dysfunction” in America than the antics of Trump and his MAGA cult.

For some reason, Trump then lashed out at Somali migrants in Minnesota, who had nothing to do with with the shooting in D.C. But he may have just seen it as an opportunity to lob a childish insult at Minnesota governor Tim Walz, who Trump called “seriously retarded,” and at Rep. Ilhan Omar, who he mocked for being “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally.” But he still wasn’t done. He closed by saying that…

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen. […] end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.”

Notice that Trump is only threatening to pause immigration from the third world countries that he has referred to as “shit holes.” He’s fine with white migrants from Europe. What’s more, he makes a bizarre reference to migrants being approved for admission by “Biden’s Autopen.” That’s not how immigration works. Presidents don’t personally sign off on immigration papers. This sounds like more evidence of Trump’s cognitive impairment wherein he is conflating things that are unrelated.

However, the most troubling part of Trump’s rant is his threat to “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility.” He doesn’t bother to define what he means by “domestic tranquility,” He’s likely talking about stripping citizenship from, and deporting, Americans who he doesn’t like, or are critical of him. And he proposes to halt federal benefits for migrants who remain, even if they are are legally entitled to them.

Trump’s standard for determining whether any migrants should be permitted to stay or be cast out appears to be an ambiguous designation of being “compatible with Western Civilization.” Whatever that means. Consequently, Melania should be worried. Because if she ever falls out of favor with Trump, she fits all of his criteria for having her citizenship revoked and being deported back to Slovenia. Yes, that’s precisely how stupid all of this is.

LATE BREAKING: Trump just posted another comment on Truth Social wherein declares that almost all of President Biden’s executive orders are “hereby terminated,” unless he signed them directly (i.e. without the autopen). Never mind that most of Trump’s executive orders were also signed with an autopen. In the same comment Trump threatens to bring perjury charges against Biden if he disputes Trump’s ludicrous claims. This entire comment has no legal standing. But it will serve nicely as evidence if Trump’s mental acuity and fitness to remain in office is ever challenged via impeachment or invocation of the 25th Amendment. 8647!

Fox News Lies Fuel the Trump Regime’s Efforts to Blame Democrats and Migrants for the Shutdown

It’s Day 15 of the Trump Shutdown and there is still no discernable exit scenario. Republicans continue to insist that they have nothing to negotiate. Democrats remain steadfastly committed to preventing the healthcare costs for millions of Americans from doubling.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

So naturally it’s time for Donald Trump and his minions to look to their Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, for support to bolster their faltering campaign to strangle the life out of the government that they despise and to avoid opening it up to serve the people, and perhaps, hold a vote on the issue that most terrifies Trump: releasing the Epstein files.

SEE THIS: Trump Unites America – In Opposition to His Shutdown and His Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, joined in on the lies that Democrats want to keep the government shutdown in order to give free healthcare to illegals aliens. But her “proof” of that is a story by Fox News that completely fails to validate the charge – even when it isn’t spreading flagrant falsehoods. The article published by Fox News leads off saying that…

“EXCLUSIVE: The White House unveiled a number of criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid as the Senate remains in gridlock over the government shutdown. Fox News Digital obtained detailed information surrounding the arrests of 49 illegal migrants, who have all been deported under the Trump administration, who were arrested for an array of crimes that occurred in the U.S. […] Republicans argue that ‘more than 1 million illegal aliens’ receive Medicaid under the previously existing program that was revised under Trump’s landmark bill.”

Nowhere in the Fox News article that Leavitt cited is there any documentation of the alleged “criminal illegal migrants who received Medicaid.” And even if there were documentation, finding 49 out of a million is hardly evidence of a crisis. It’s barely a rounding error.

The Fox News article concedes that “federal law prohibits undocumented individuals from obtaining Medicaid.” Which is a point that Democrats have been making all along. The article even acknowledges that “A White House official explained that illegal migrants could obtain Medicaid through different means, but, specifically, emergency care.” And emergency care is mandated by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that was signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.

The article further stated that “emergency care spending on those not legally in the U.S. rose from $3 billion to $9 billion under President Joe Biden.” Once again, there is nothing validating that claim in the article. So it should come as no surprise that it is a totally false claim. According to KFF Health News

“A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows a total of $27 billion in federal and state spending on Emergency Medicaid for noncitizen immigrants between fiscal years (FY) 2017 and 2023. […] this spending represents less than 1% of overall spending in Medicaid over the entire time period, and, in some years, is less than half of a percent. Spending on Emergency Medicaid was $3.8 billion in FY 2023 and was .4% of total Medicaid spending that year.”

The figures stated above cover most of the Biden presidency and don’t come close to the $9 billion stated by Fox News. What’s more, those CBO numbers are for all immigrants – both legal and otherwise. Which means that the Republican excuse for keeping the Trump Shutdown going is a tiny fraction of federal funds for emergency care that has been mandated by law for forty years.

The real reason that Trump and Republicans are deliberately prolonging the shutdown is, of course, their determination to shutter dozens of critical government agencies, fire thousands of federal employees, and reform American democracy into an autocracy that is ruled by Dear Leader Trump. It’s a model of totalitarian takeover that Trump has borrowed from his idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. It’s dangerous, and treasonous, and he must not be allowed to succeed. Because in America we have NO KINGS! Be there.

MAGA Mike Johnson Admits that the Shutdown is ‘Something that We’ve All Always Wanted to Do’

IT’S HERE! The long feared government shutdown has begun. It’s the first one since the last time that Donald Trump was occupying the White House. What does that tell you? And despite all the evidence – including the fact that Republicans control both houses of the legislative branch – Trump and his MAGA cronies are trying desperately to blame it all on Democrats.

Donald Trump, Congress, Mike Johnson

The spin from the GOP is predictably centered on their hateful and racist fixation on immigrants. They are outright lying that Democrats are withholding their votes in order to obtain free healthcare for “illegal aliens.” Never mind that no Democrat is proposing that or even suggesting it as a condition for passage of the budget bill. And Republicans can’t provide any proof of their dishonest claim. Which is typical of the GOP.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares that He Will Not Negotiate with Democrats to Avoid Shutdown, Then Blames Democrats

Surprisingly, on Wednesday morning GOP House Speaker MAGA Mike Johnson decided to tell the truth for a change. During an interview with Fox News Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, Johnson admitted that shutting down the government was a long desired goal of the Republican Party….

Bartiromo: Trump has said that he could use this as an opportunity to further cut government and turn some of those temporary furloughs into permanent job cuts. Speaker, can you assess what you are expecting in terms of the job cuts and how severe they could be?
Johnson: Yes, the president and I talked about this at great length. While, a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we’ve all always wanted to do.

So in a way, Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom to the executive branch under President Trump to do some things that we would not otherwise be able to do because we would never get Democrat votes for them.

Johnson: “While a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we've all always wanted to do.”

The Bulwark (@thebulwark.com) 2025-10-01T14:07:33.799Z

And there you have it. Johnson has explicitly stated that the shutdown – and the brutal consequences for the American people – is “something that we’ve all always wanted to do.” And he says this even as he acknowledges that it would be “very damaging for real American people.” So clearly he has thought this through.

Johnson went on to praise Russ Vought, a principal author of “Project 2025,” who is now in charge of Trump’s Office of Management and Budget, saying that “He gets to decide now what services are essential, what programs and policies should be continued, and which would not be a priority for taxpayers.” It should be comforting to the nation to know that the author of the notorious authoritarian handbook will be making those critical decisions. Although it isn’t any more discomforting than knowing that critical decisions are already being made by Johnson and Trump considering how “unhinged and unwell” Trump is. And Johnson seems to know that too…

WOW, REALLY? In this exchange Mike Johnson…? Doesn't deny that Trump is "unhinged and unwell," just that he thinks some Democrats are too.? Claims he didn't see Trump's deranged speech to an unprecedented gathering of military leaders. Even after it made international news.

News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-10-02T09:33:51.151Z

For his part, Trump has previously expressed his agreement with what Johnson is saying now. “We can do things during the shutdown,” Trump noted gleefully, “that are irreversible and bad for them like cutting vast numbers of people out.” He’s referring to cutting people out of their healthcare programs. And for some reason Trump seems to think that this will only be bad for Democrats. It won’t be long before he finds out that Independents, and even some Republicans, are also going to be hurt – and pissed off.
