Trump’s Outrage at Iran for Blockading Hormuz Has Driven Him to New Depths of Depravity

Posted by on April 12, 2026 at 2:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The peace talks between the United States and Iran that Donald Trump announced with such great fanfare, have already collapsed after only one day. Trump had predicted that they would lead to an agreement with Iran surrendering to his every demand.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

Instead, the war will continue indefinitely with Trump promising even more savage attacks and threats of war crimes that violate international law. In the meantime, Trump remains laser-focused on who he regards as America’s real enemies…

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

The day after the charade of peace talks broke down, Trump took to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, to lash out with unbridled anger at Iran and pretty much the rest of the entire world that isn’t submitting to his divine will. He posted an interminably long comment that said in part that…

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. […] I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

These remarks contain a bucket load of bullpucky. Let’s break them down, shall we? To begin with, it is a pitiful demonstration of Trump’s derangement that he is complaining about Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz, and that his solution to that atrocity is blockade Hormuz himself. This is obviously a negotiating tactic that Trump learned from the movie Blazing Saddles…

Trump also made a point of threatening every ship that pays a toll to Iran to go through the Strait. That is a wide ranging threat that could impact much of the world including China, Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, and Greece, who have all already made agreements for safe passage. There is no evidence at the present time if those agreements included paying Iran. However, if Trump were to carry out his threat, it could expand the conflict to World War status by dragging countries like China and Russia into it. They would likely be very unhappy if the U.S. were to interdict their ships.

Another problem with this threat is that there is no way to know whether any nation has paid a toll to Iran. Particularly if the tolls are paid with cryptocurrency. Neither Iran nor the countries currently traversing the Strait have disclosed whether any funds were transferred.

There is also a glaring hypocrisy in Trump’s threat. After all, when tolls were previously brought up, he didn’t shy away from them. Rather, he simply said that he would make sure that the U.S. got a cut. “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture,” Trump said. And that “It’s a beautiful thing.” What’s more, Trump still hasn’t explained how Iran could blockade the Strait since he insists that “Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone.”

So in response to an Iranian blockade, Trump threatens to make his own blockade, also threatens the world’s shipping trades, forgets his joint toll offer, and ignores his prior claims that Iran had been totally defeated. Is that the behavior of a “stable genius.” Trump doesn’t belong in the Strait of Hormuz. He belongs in a straight jacket.

Trump Lies and Threatens CNN Over a Story He Falsely Claims Was Fake News From Nigeria About Iran

Posted by on April 8, 2026 at 3:43 pm. 1 Comments :

Now that Trump has claimed victory over Iran – after repeatedly claiming imaginary victories in the past six weeks – he is bragging about how masterful his negotiating skills are that led to this outcome. Never mind that the alleged ceasefire that Trump is touting is already reported to have been broken, and that few if any of his demands have been met.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

True to form, Trump is laser focused on on the facade of leadership that he seeks to present. He has always been more interested in appearances than substantive results. And to that end, he is reverting to his standard operating procedure of bashing the free press should they report anything about him that is less than gushingly adoring. In his diseased mind, he must be worshiped at all times, and at all costs…

SEE THIS: Trump Desperately Clings to Wildly Adoring Polls, Doesn’t Mention They Only Polled His Supporters

The ceasefire deal that Trump claims to have struck will supposedly reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open before the reckless and illegal war that he started. Only now it will be controlled by Iran who will be charging fees to pass through it. Iran will also get sanctions relief in this deal, and their oil will be selling for much more on the global markets. And all it cost the United States was a few billion dollars and thousands of innocent Iranian lives, as well as thirteen American troops.

Trump proudly posted a comment announcing the deal on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that, subject to Iran agreeing, he would “suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.” Because everything that Trump does happens (or more accurately, doesn’t happen) in a two week span, from revealing his healthcare plan to releasing the Epstein files. This time he’s reneging his prior promise that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Then, in pursuit of more surface level adulation, Trump lashed out at CNN for publishing a story about the ceasefire. Naturally, Trump’s position contained an abundance of anger and a litany of lies. He wrote that “The alleged Statement put out by CNN World News is a FRAUD,” and made a bizarre charge, without any evidence, that “The false Statement was linked to a Fake News site (from Nigeria).” But then he elaborated with an overt, albeit impotent, threat…

“Authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed on the issuance of the Fake CNN World Statement, or was it a sick rogue player? CNN is being ordered to immediately withdraw this Statement with full apologies for their, as usual, terrible ‘reporting.’ Results of the investigation will be announced in the near future. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

So Trump is seeking to criminally prosecute CNN for publishing a story that he doesn’t like. And furthermore, he is “ordering” them to retract the story and apologize to him. That is the tyrannical behavior of a confirmed fascist who thinks that he has the right to dominate the press. Which is nothing new for Trump.

MORE HERE: Trump Brags About Getting Fascist Control of the Media in Bonkers Truth Social Post

For the record, CNN is standing by their story. They claim that it is well sourced and accurate. As reported by Deadline…

“CNN is defending its reporting on the statement. A spokesperson said, ‘The statement in question was obtained by CNN from Iranian officials and reported on multiple Iranian state media outlets. We received the statement from specific official Iranian spokespeople who are known to us.'”

To make matters worse, Trump’s FCC boss, Brendan Carr, joined in the attack on CNN. Without conducting any investigation or research, Carr charged that CNN’s conduct was “outrageous,” and that they were “pushing out a hoax headline,” and that “this requires accountability.”

So Carr is also threatening CNN, even though he has no authority over cable news networks. He closed with an ominous taunt that it is “Time for change at CNN.” [Note: Trump’s billionaire pals David and Larry Ellison are in the process of acquiring Warner Bros/Discovery, which also owns CNN]

This sort of government bullying of the media is what you might expect to see in dictatorships like Russia and North Korea. But considering that those countries are run by Trump’s idols and mentors, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that he is emulating their totalitarian tactics. Hopefully, he will be stopped by a new Democratic Congress and the American people who cherish freedom.

Trump’s INSANE Threats and War Crimes Against Iran are Dismissed by His Acting Attorney General

Posted by on April 7, 2026 at 12:27 pm. 0 Comments :

The “Little Excursion” that Donald Trump took to Iran is turning out to be much more of catastrophic detour than he – or anyone else – could have imagined. Despite his insistence that the war would be short, and that he won it weeks ago, it has escalated into a conflagration that threatens millions of innocent people.

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

There are numerous cognitive contradictions in Trump’s diarhetorical outbursts regarding this mission. In addition to Trump’s claim of victory, while continuing to fight, he has said that he is fighting for the Iranian people’s freedom, while slaughtering thousands of them; he has said that the United States doesn’t need any help from Europe, while blasting them for not helping; he has said that the Strait of Hormuz would be easily opened, while unleashing ever more hyperbolic threats if Iran doesn’t open it immediately. He really seems to have no idea what’s going on or what to do.

SEE THIS: Trump Admits Gross Failures Arming Protesters in Iran and to Slaughtering Defenseless Iranians

As a result of his confusion and ignorance, Trump is lashing out wildly. On Tuesday morning he posted a horrific comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that upped the ante of his unhinged antagonism, warning that “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Trump's threat to Iran saying that "A whole civilization will die tonight," is more of the grotesquely INSANE babbling of a psychopathic monster bent on genocide.He must not be allowed to carry out that threat. He shouldn't even be able make it without severe legal consequences

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-04-07T14:57:28.930Z

That sort of bombastic derangement is obviously intolerable. It adds to his prior advocacy of war crimes wherein he called for civilian infrastructure in Iran (power plants, bridges, etc.) to be destroyed. It ought to trigger immediate actions to remove Trump from office by either impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Those actions would require Trump’s Cabinet and/or the Congress to stand up. And while Democratic members of Congress are doing so, those remain difficult solutions at present.

Unfortunately, Trump’s “Justice” Department isn’t going to be any help in the pursuit of justice. Trump has managed to transform the DoJ into an arm of his personal defense law firm. And although he recently fired his bootlicking Attorney General, Pam Bondi, the “acting” Attorney General, Todd Blanche, may be even worse. During a Tuesday morning press conference, he was asked about the war crimes that Trump has been accused of…

Reporter: A number of military and legal scholars have raised questions about bombing a nation’s bridges and energy infrastructure as a possible war crime. What is DOJ’s analysis of that position, and could you give us a sense what you are advising for the White House?
Blanche: The Department of Justice, as it always does, supports the Department of War [which doesn’t exist], the White House, the Department of State, and our intelligence communities…we provide counsel to them and we have been doing that.

Well, that clears that up, doesn’t it? Blanche was asked what his advice would be for Trump, and he responding by saying that he gives Trump advice. Gee thanks.

The matter of war crimes is hardly a question at this point. There are no credible legal analysts who would dispute that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would be grossly illegal, as well as immoral. And the negligence of Blanche and others in the administration make them just as culpable for the crimes as Trump.

It is precisely for situations like these that several members of Congress produced a video a few months ago to remind military personnel that they are obligated by law to refuse to follow unlawful orders. And now that Trump is floating such orders, it is imperative that he not be allowed to proceed. This is so plainly evident that even former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sounding the alarm…

Trump Admits Gross Failures Arming Protesters in Iran and to Slaughtering Defenseless Iranians

Posted by on April 6, 2026 at 12:39 pm. 2 Comments :

The United States is entering week six of what Donald Trump calls the “little excursion” into Iran, and for which he declared victory a few hours after it began. In the interim thirteen American soldiers were killed, and thousands of Iranian civilians, including children whose school was bombed.

Donald Trump

Now Trump is continuing to insist that he will press forward with even more aggressive assaults and is explicitly promising to commit war crimes in his psychopathic fixation to “obliterate” Iran. The lunacy of Trump’s obsession is impossible to ignore. And, of course, Trump seems to make matters worse every time he opens his mouth.

SEE THIS: Traitor Trump Discloses Clandestine Mission to Arm Iranian Protesters in Fox News Interview

After making some of the most grotesquely disturbing remarks since the war began (such as “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell”), Trump is escalating his diarhetorical bombast. In comments to the press during his deranged White House Easter Egg Roll, Trump was asked a rather obvious question that he has bungled in previous attempts to answer…

Reporter: You said Iran has been obliterated, why are we still at war then?
Trump: They can’t fight back. They have no capability. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left but essentially, they have no capability. They had a lucky shot with an airplane.

Reporter: You said Iran has been obliterated, why are we still at war then?Trump: They can't fight back. They have no capability. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left but essentially, they have no capability. They had a lucky shot with an airplane

To be clear, Trump is confessing that his military mission in Iran is currently engaged in slaughtering defenseless civilians. If an enemy actually can’t fight back, it’s time to cease offensive tactics and transition to asserting a dominant role over the remnants of the enemy’s government. Instead, Trump is threatening even more harsh tactics including a genocidal threat that “The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night.” What is the purpose of such a threat against an enemy that has no capability to resist, other than sadistic gratification?

What’s more, Trump also told reporters at the Easter affair about a plan to arm Iranian dissidents that he admits ended in total failure.

“We sent to some guns. But the group that we were supposed to give – which I said would happen to my people. I said…I called it exactly – We sent guns. A lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them. Cause they said ‘What a beautiful gun. I think I’ll keep it.’ So I am very upset with a certain group of people and they will pay a big price.”

Trump on Iran: We sent to some guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. The people we sent them to kept them. I am upset with a certain group of people and they will pay a big price.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2026-04-06T15:49:55.006Z

Here Trump is revealing that he presided over a plan that he opposed, and that he claims to have told his staff wouldn’t work. And he’s bragging that he was right about it. But he nevertheless approved it and that it did indeed fail. He must be so proud.

So now there are “a lot of guns” from America circulating around in Iran in the hands of people that were not intended to get them. Although he didn’t say, it is likely Kurdish dissidents. But it’s okay, because Trump is “very upset” with them. How that helps the Iranian people remains a mystery.

All of this is happening as Trump has given a 48 hour deadline (24 hours ago) for Iran to comply with his demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz, that Trump has variously claimed wasn’t necessary, would open up by itself, or would result in Iran “living in Hell” if they didn’t open it.

The flagrant contradictions in Trump’s yammering reflect the diseased mind of psychopath with no respect for international law, morality, or human life. And yet, his disciples in Congress, the MAGA media, and a tiny but loud faction of the public, continue to follow him. Because that’s the nature of a cult. And in this case, a death cult.

Traitor Trump Discloses Clandestine Mission to Arm Iranian Protesters in Fox News Interview

Posted by on April 5, 2026 at 12:59 pm. 1 Comments :

The seething rage of Donald Trump is accelerating at warp speed as his reckless and illegal war against Iran continues to devolve into an ever greater fiasco. He is utterly incapable of articulating a coherent justification for the attack, or a rational exit strategy.

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

Donald Trump

In the meantime, Trump’s rosy scenarios to describe the progress of the war keep contradicting themselves. According to Trump we already won three weeks ago, but we are still required to escalate militarily with more aggressive bombing and threats of worse to come. We don’t need the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran must open it immediately or “reign in Hell.” We can defeat Iran without any help from our NATO allies, but NATO is going to suffer if they don’t join our war effort. He’s having a really difficult time identifying who the enemy is.

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

Amidst this chaos, Trump has been keeping a low profile. He hasn’t been seen in public since his gawd-awful television address last Wednesday. However, he is talking to his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Easter morning Trump phoned in an interview with Fox’s correspondent in Israel, Trey Yingst, wherein he revealed what appears to be some clandestine information about the mission. He told Yingst that…

“[Trump] provided new details on what happened earlier this year as the Iranian regime took to the streets and slaughtered what the president said is 45,000 civilians in their own country. After that took place the president told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters. He tells me ‘We sent them a lot of guns. We sent them to the Kurds.’ And the president tells me he thinks the Kurds kept them. He went on to say ‘We sent guns to the protesters. A lot of them.'”

after ignoring Trump's "Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell" post for more than an hour, Fox & Friends finally reads it on air

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-04-05T13:27:32.227Z

Of course, we cannot dismiss the possibility that Trump is lying. Such a lie would have no benefit to American interests, but it could bring harm to friendly Iranians. On the other hand, if this is true, then Trump has disclosed information that Iran can use against the regime’s opponents. They can find and confiscate the weapons, and punish those who possessed them. They could even trace the guns to learn about how they were smuggled into Iran, and to identify American operatives in the country.

This sort of betrayal by Trump is nothing new. His motives are never to advance what is best for America. He is exclusively focused on what’s best for himself. That partly explains the comment that Trump posted on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, that exposed just how acutely demented he is. Yingst mentioned Trump’s post in his report saying that Trump wrote that…

“‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

To be clear, that profane outburst is another example of Trump explicitly threatening to commit war crimes. Targeting power plants and bridges is an attack on civilian infrastructure that will cause great suffering to civilians and result in untold numbers of fatalities. No wonder the Trump regime is seeking to prosecute Democratic members of Congress for reminding soldiers that they are legally bound to refuse illegal orders.

Trump is the single biggest threat to America’s national security. He cannot be entrusted with sensitive information. He can be relied on to exploit it to benefit himself. And everyone should know this by now. Don’t forget, he stole hundreds of classified documents from the White House when he left after his first term, and he stored them in bathrooms and ballrooms at his Mar-a-Lago home/hotel.

The Trump Cult Evangelists on Fox News Are Now Openly Preaching ‘Troops on the Ground’ in Iran

Posted by on March 29, 2026 at 1:59 pm. 0 Comments :

As the war against Iran that Donald Trump chose to recklessly launch without consulting with Congress, as required by law, enters it’s fourth week, it is becoming ever more apparent that Trump couldn’t care less about his campaign promises to refrain from such foreign conflagrations that he refers to as a “little excursion.”

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

Donald Trump, Fox News

Trump initially claimed that his latest war would be short-lived and won without effort in a matter of hours. That has turned out to be just another steaming pile of bullpucky intended to pacify his glassy-eyed cult followers who feel betrayed, as well as his MAGA friendly media propagandists. With his approval ratings in the toilet, Trump is desperate to shift blame for his fiascoes onto those he thinks are the real enemies.

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

Now that Trump’s lies about Iran have become impossible to dismiss, his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is joining the battle to rescue his floundering presidency. They are embarking on a campaign to emotionally prepare the nation for another disastrous war. And leading the way is the execrable Mark Levin, a weekend host who takes a backseat to no one on his Trump-fluffing prowess.

This weekend Levin doled out some military advice to Trump on his program that we know Trump watches religiously. In fact, Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, yesterday imploring his disciples to watch this particular program. It should be noted that Levin has never served in the military, so his ideas about military matters are just as useless as Trump’s. In his tediously long monologue, Levin yammered that…

“Troops on the ground. He said ‘No troops on the ground.’ I don’t remember that in any campaign speech either. Why would we need to troops on the ground? Well, there’s a lot of reasons. And we wouldn’t need 300,000 of them. It’s this uranium too. We’ve gotta get the uranium. If it cannot be destroyed, if it cannot be altered, we gotta get it. For the reason I just said. You can make dirty bombs and, over time you can still make sophisticated missiles. So you need to get to the uranium.

Levin’s claim that he doesn’t remember Trump promising not send send troops into foreign wars is either another flagrant lie, or evidence of acute cognitive impairment. It was a core feature of Trump’s campaign stump speeches. But in the Trump Cult everything can be the opposite of whatever it was before just by Trump saying so. For example, his promise to lower prices on day one; or swearing to offer a healthcare plan in two weeks; or pledging to release the Epstein files.

Levin went on to say that Trump isn’t “talking about sending the regular Army and infantry in by the hundreds of thousands.” Really? So he’s going to send in small units of specialized forces to capture hundreds of pounds of uranium and transport it securely out of the country, while battling Iranian troops? Sure. It’s a piece of (yellow) cake. And it surely wouldn’t risk contamination of populated areas in Iran or the U.S., if that were its destination.

That’s the ridiculous plan that Levin says is being proffered by Trump, who Levin also says is “a man with enormous intelligence, enormous common sense. He’s not an ideologue. He doesn’t run around with slogans.” Trump isn’t an ideologue? Seriously? And as for “running with slogans,” does “Make America great again,” or “drill, baby, drill,” or “lock her up,” or “fake news,” ring a bell?

The brazen dishonesty of Trump’s delusional public comments about the war can’t possibly help the mission, whatever that is. Trump simultaneously declares that the war was won in the first hour a month ago, but that he is still actively fighting it anyway. He’s putting Americans in harm’s way and seeking $200 billion in additional funding for an illegal war that the GOP led Congress hasn’t even been asked to debate or approve.

Despite failing to articulate a coherent objective or exit strategy, Trump flips back and forth between making wild threats of genocidal destruction, while also claiming to be in constructive peace talks. Never mind that every claim that Trump has made about negotiating with Iran has been denied by Iran.

In the meantime, Trump has been telegraphing his intention to deploy American troops on the ground in Iran. Which is a thoroughly boneheaded strategy that allows enemy forces to prepare for the invasion and inflict greater harm on U.S. soldiers. And Iran is talking full advantage of it. Their Parliament Speaker explicitly addressed it saying that Iran is “waiting for American soldiers to enter on the ground so they can set them ablaze and punish their regional partners forever.”

Levin is likely just the point man in the Fox News plot to reinforce Trump’s Iranian initiative. And he’s making it clear that the plan is to simply say that troops on the ground is a great idea that, contrary to contradicting everything Trump has said previously, he has actually been planning this all along. And somehow his devoted minions will recall these things precisely as Trump and Levin are saying them now. That’s the nature of a cult.

Throughout the past 250 years, America’s presidents have made at least cursory efforts to show that they represent everyone in this great and diverse country. It is their constitutional duty to conduct the nation’s business on behalf of every citizen. The president is not elected to be the leader of one political party.

Donald Trump, Newspapers, Baby, Hate

Unfortunately, among the traditions that Donald Trump has abandoned is the one that promotes the unity of service that has always been the province of the occupant of the White House. Service, however, is a principle that is foreign to Trump, a malignant narcissist with authoritarian aspirations. Consequently, in order to elevate himself above the majority of the American people, he fiercely denigrates those who he considers to be his political foes.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

With a war raging against Iran, and military assaults on peaceful protesters at home by ICE thugs, and the domestic economy burdening Americans with skyrocketing costs for everything from groceries, to gasoline, to housing to healthcare, Trump carved out some of his precious “executive time” – ordinarily reserved for golfing, designing ballrooms, and watching Fox News – to post a flurry of comments on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social.

This particular batch of social bitchcraft was focused on those that he regards as “the greatest enemy America has.” And he isn’t talking about his current adversaries in Iran, or America’s longtime nemeses Russia and China. Or even our European allies that Trump has downgraded to virulently hostile. Nope. It’s America’s own Democratic Party and the millions of people who are members of it. What follows are a few of Trump’s hateful harangues with relevant annotations.

“Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail. They broke the already signed Bill.”
For the record, it is Trump and the Republicans who have repeatedly refused to fund TSA and other Homeland Security agencies by voting against legislation offered by Democrats. And the “already signed bill” to which he is referring is his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that isn’t broken at all. It’s just bad policy because the GOP can’t govern competently.

“The Democrats don’t want to make any deal unless Amnesty and Citizenship is given to millions of Criminals who have entered our Country illegally, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes.”
Actually, it is Trump who has literally refused to deal with Democrats, saying that “I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.” And he is making up the preposterous charge that Democrats want amnesty and citizenship for “million of Criminals. Meanwhile, it is Trump himself who has been “convicted of serious crimes” (34 felonies).

“The Radical Left, Country Hating Democrats are trying to create inner chaos to take away from the great military achievement we are having in Iran. They hate seeing us WIN so completely and decisively, but the American public sees what is going on.”
Trump doesn’t need any help from Democrats to “create inner chaos.” That’s his specialty. However, he’s right that “the American public sees what is going on.” Recent polls show that big majorities of the public disapprove of Trump’s war in Iran.

Trump’s vicious animosity toward fellow Americans who happen to disagree with him is an abhorrent diversion from how decent presidents throughout history have behaved. His hatred is directed squarely at patriotic citizens who have the right to their own opinions. And in this case those opinions are shared by most other American citizens. No president who has this much loathing for the people he is supposed to be serving should be tolerated. In the meantime, least we can say that the feeling is mutual…

Trump Says He’s Dealing with Terrorists in Iran, But Refuses to Deal with Democrats in America

Posted by on March 23, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

The war against Iran that Donald Trump said he won three weeks ago is still raging on. The Strait of Hormuz remains shutdown. Both sides are continuing to launch bombing raids. Trump is still seeking $200 billion more in Pentagon funding. Gas and oil prices are still rising. 2,400 Marines were just to deployed to the Middle East. And all for a war for which Trump has already declared victory.

Donald Trump WTF

Trump’s justification for continuing to fight has run the gamut from his lust for a genocidal solution, to his sociopathic desire to just have fun slaughtering people. He couldn’t care less about the welfare of American troops or Iranian civilians. Or for that matter, Americans here at home…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Knows Where Iranian Sleeper Cells Are in the U.S. But He Isn’t Going After Them?

Trump recently pledged that he would escalate his bombing of Iran if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz within 24 hours. But he is already backing off of that pledge with an announcement that he is engaging with Iran to formulate a peace agreement. He posted the following comment on his dedicated, for-profit propaganda platform, Truth Social, Monday morning…

“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.”

Trump offered no evidence of any actual discussions, or with whom they would be held, since he previously claimed to have killed all of their leaders. And Iran is denying that any discussions have taken place. As reported by The Hill…

“A senior Iranian security official on Monday said Tehran is not in talks with President Trump adding that Trump ‘backed down’ from further attacks on energy infrastructure due to pressure from the markets and allies.”

It’s difficult to decide who trust in this situation. Iran is not a particularly reliable source of information. But Trump is arguably even worse. Trump’s claim that he is having “VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS” comes in stark contrast to his prior statements regarding negotiations with his fellow Americans in Congress. While he is bragging that he is dealing with the terrorist regime in Iran, he is simultaneously refusing to deal with Democrats here at home…

“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.’ It is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate.”

Trump isn’t making any secret of whose side he is on. And it clearly isn’t the side of America or its people. He actually trusts Iran as a negotiating partner more. And he is happy to deal with the leaders of the country he is at war with, but not the leaders of his domestic political opposition that he maligns as “Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats.”

What’s more, Trump’s problem with Democrats is that they won’t agree to his “Voter Suppression Act,” that he has prioritized above everything else, including the war in Iran and the skyrocketing cost of living in the U.S. He is terrified of the likelihood that American voters are going to strip his MAGA Republicans from their congressional majorities in November, and that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes.

To Trump that means that Democrats are the real enemy to America. No, really. He literally said so yesterday…

Trump just literally declared WAR on at least half of the American people.Does he plan to start bombing Democrats? He's already trying to obstruct them from voting. Because he is TERRIFIED and knows that Democrats will hold him accountable for his crimes when they assume power.

Pete Hegseth Grasps at Fantasy that Americans Back Trump’s Iran War, While Attacking the Media

Posted by on March 19, 2026 at 1:45 pm. 0 Comments :

There is an old adage among lawyers that says, “If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” Now we can add the Trump corollary to that which would end with “if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the media.”

Donald Trump baby and Pete Hegseth

Actually, in Trump’s world he would probably say to pound the media even if you have the facts and the law on your side. Pounding the media is the first response to virtually every dilemma that Trump or his toadies face. He is so entirely incapable of forming a coherent thought that attacking the press is just easier and, for him, more personally satisfying.

Naturally, Trump’s Cabinet follows the same unprincipled path of anti-constitutional dismissal of the free press. His Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Thursday morning to rant about (and at) the media for their audacity in covering Trump’s war against Iran accurately. Hegseth looked directly into the assembled cameras, pointing his finger at them, and bellowed that…

“I stand here today speaking to you, the American people. Not through filters. Not through reporters. Not through cable news spin. A dishonest and anti-Trump press will stop at nothing to downplay progress, amplify every cost, and call into question every step. Sadly, TDS is in their DNA. They want president Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better.”

Trump's Minister of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, attacks the media because he has no facts to support his illegal war against Iran. So he whines about the press asking legitimate questions:"They [the media] want Trump to fail. But you, the American people, know better."Ummm, OK.

First of all, Hegseth’s insistence that he wasn’t speaking through reporters is downright hysterical considering that he was literally speaking through reporters. Well, at least a few among the MAGA-friendly hacks that he allows into the press room. Or did he think that the American people were all in the room with him?

What’s more, Hegseth’s whining that the media would “call into question every step” that the administration takes is a pathetic complaint that just reveals his ignorance of the fact that it is the media’s job to question any administration. Or does he think that the press should be blind sycophants who adore everything Dear Leader does and says? (You don’t have to answer that).

It was, however, generous of Hegseth to leave it up to the American people to decide for themselves what they think about Trump’s “little excursion” into Iran that has already cost 13 American lives, more than 1,400 Iranians, and cost over $12 billion dollars. On top of that, Trump is now asking for $200 billion more. For what he doesn’t actually say.

The American people have made their disapproval of all of that well known in numerous polls, with big majorities opposing the action. Furthermore, another survey shows that Trump’s handling of the war is also a disaster, with his approval on Iran at a dismal 36%, and disapproval at 56%. In the same survey his personal approval hits a new low at only 35%.

Not to worry though. Trump is buoyed by the glassy-eyed adoration of his cult following MAGA minions. A poll of their support for Trump came in at an astoundingly high 100%. Never mind that the MAGA mob makes up a paltry 27% of American voters. And their hive-minded uniformity affirms that MAGA is hopelessly brainwashed. In fact, IT’S A CULT! And it is that groveling gaggle that Hegseth is actually speaking to through the media that he and Trump despise.

Trump Regime Clamps Down on ‘Stars and Stripes’ News For the Military Amid Iran War Fiasco

The determination of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions to assume authoritarian style control over the free press is rapidly advancing as he aggressively accelerates his abuse of power to subjugate the media. That abuse takes the form of persecution by his “Justice” Department and overt threats of lawsuits and other forms of illegal punishment for any journalists who dare to report truthfully about him or challenge his MAGA-sty.

Donald Trump, Constitution

Trump’s efforts to quash the Constitution’s First Amendment protection of the free press have already had some dreadful effects on the media. He has coerced corporations that own news divisions to acquiesce to his demands for more favorable coverage, to pay out settlements for bogus claims of defamation, and to make concessions in order to gain federal approvals for mergers and other business regulatory matters. And Trump is actually proud of that poisoning of the media environment.

Trump’s Secretary of War Crimes, Pete Hegseth, has been a faithful partner in his assault on the press. He recently issued orders to ban journalists from the Pentagon who declined to sign loyalty oaths to Trump. That meant that the only officially credentialed reporters allowed access to the Pentagon were Trump-fluffing outlets like One America News.

The latest act of tyrannical propagandism by Hegseth is his edict constraining the reporting of the previously respected military publication, Stars and Stripes. According to NPR (which is one of the news outlets Hegseth banned from the Pentagon)…

“The Defense Department has begun to exert greater control over Stars and Stripes, weeks after a top spokesman accused the independent military newspaper of focusing on ‘woke distractions.’

“The Pentagon announced what it calls ‘modernization’ changes this week, in a memo dated March 9 and effective immediately, according to a copy seen by NPR and first reported by Stars and Stripes on Friday. It’s the latest effort by the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to apply extraordinary limits on journalists covering the agency.

“The memo says that Stars and Stripes will continue to ‘operate with editorial independence.’ However, it also says that the newspaper must immediately begin implementing the Defense Department’s new interim policies and stop publishing several types of content.”

It is no coincidence that the language used by the DoD spokesman, Sean Parnell, parroted Trump’s rhetoric of “woke” reporters who fail to sufficiently worship Dear Leader. Parnell specifically stated that the purpose of the so-called “modernization” of Stars and Stripes was to “refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon (sic) morale.”

Parnell also complained about the use of wire services to augment the publication’s content, saying that there would be “No more repurposed DC gossip columns; no more Associated Press reprints.” Therefore, there will no longer be any reporting by credible journalists around the world. There will also no longer be any sports coverage, or entertainment stories, or comic strips. All of which are popular with the troops who are the primary readers of the paper.

More troubling is the fact that this change has been made just as the U.S. has embarked on a war with Iran. So Stars and Stripes readers will now be missing some of the most important stories that in the past would have kept them informed about the state of the world and the American military’s place in it.

It can’t be ignored that Hegseth and Trump are just trying to insure that our troops will never hear important stories, such as the bombing of an Iranian school that killed more than 150 children. Or that the Strait of Hormuz is being shut down by Iran. Or that Trump has declared that the war has already been won, but that he wants to continue the fighting – and the killing, and the placing of American troops in harms way – for fun.

Stars and Stripes itself covered the memo wherein Hegseth’s Pentagon ordered the constraints on the paper. They quoted a spokesman for PEN America, an organization that advocates for the free press, who said that…

“This clearly shows that the Pentagon is trying to increase its influence over content decisions at Stars and Stripes [and that] That’s a threat to the First Amendment.”

What this boils down to is that Trump and Hegseth are terrified of allowing Americas soldiers access to information that directly affects their lives and the lives of their families. It’s a dictator’s approach to free speech and democracy. So naturally Trump has embraced it as his own. Hopefully the reporters at Stars and Stripes – and all other media – will resist such censorship and continue to be faithful to the Constitution, rather to the felonious authoritarian occupying the White House.
