Fox News Flunky Jesse Watters Demands ‘Heinous’ Liberals Repent or Be Cast Out of Polite Society

Posted by on September 17, 2025 at 4:32 pm. 0 Comments :

From its very inception, the MAGA Republican movement has embraced the most vicious forms of denigration and defamation. They have taken their cues from their Dear Leader, Donald Trump, whose penchant for infantile insults and toxic tantrums are his most notoriously familiar character flaws.

Jesse Watters, Fox News

Which makes it all the more preposterous that they are now posing as the heralds of decency and civility, and the paragons of purity. Those have never been among the personality traits that any rational person would associate with them. Especially Trump himself, who regularly lashes out at anyone who dares to make even a mild criticism of him.

SEE THIS: Crybaby Trump’s Hysterical Posting that He’s Suing the New York Times for Hurting His Feelings

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – is tirelessly on guard to defend Trump’s dishonor. And among the most ferocious defenders is the Fox News Senior Doofus, Jesse Watters. In an incredibly bizarre harangue, Watters unleashed his fury at everyone he blames for the increasing political violence in the country, including the shooting of ultra-conservative organizer, Charlie Kirk.

Of course, Watters blames Democrats and liberals, despite the fact that all of the available evidence proves that right-wingers are far more responsible for it. There was even a study conducted by the National Institute of Justice, an agency of the U.S. Justice Department, that confirmed that far right extremists were more violent. And in the midst of the current controversies, the DoJ disappeared the study. But none of that stopped Watters from raging that…

“These people are incapable of turning the temperature down. So it’s our responsibility to do it for them for the safety of the country and for their own safety. Their heinous movement should be politically destroyed, systematically dismantled. Their financial backing should be bankrupted, their media sponsors defeated [they will be] given one chance to confess and apologize. If they don’t, thrown out of polite society. […]

“And their acolytes in academia, behind the pulpit, in city councils and corporate America will be spotlighted and given one chance to confess and apologize. If they don’t, thrown out of polite society. We cannot live with people and work with people like this.”

Watters has some strange ideas about how to “turn the temperature down.” Apparently his recipe includes maligning his enemies as “heinous” and advocating for them to be “destroyed.” Although he generously offers them “one chance to confess” their sins. And if they submit and repent, then he won’t have them “thrown out of polite society.” How thoughtful. And not at all rhetorically hostile, is it?

It’s notable that Watters has aggregated every possible infidel in his decree. Teachers, pastors, politicians, businessmen, are all guilty of unspecified sins for which they must apologize. Because Watters and other good folks like him “cannot live with…people like this.” And who are the people like that? Well, Watters had decided before Kirk’s shooting suspect was even known. Last week he issued a declaration of war against some amorphous “they” who were responsible, saying that…

“They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?”

Fox Host Jesse Watters: They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?

— Nikki McCann Ramírez (@nikkimcr.bsky.social) 2025-09-10T21:12:14.725Z

Everything that Watters is saying is consistent with what Trump has been saying. The MAGA-verse couldn’t care less about lowering the temperature. They want to eliminate everyone who fails to subjugate themselves to Der Fuhrer. And they aren’t shy about admitting it. But unfortunately for them, the rest of us are not going to lay down for them or kneel before Trumpler. We will stand up for the principles of liberty and democracy that America was founded on. We will do so peacefully and with open hearts. And if they don’t want to join us, they can throw themselves out of polite society.

Trump Demands that a Protester in a Park Near the White House Be Removed Because – Free Speech?

Posted by on September 6, 2025 at 12:35 pm. 1 Comments :

Brian Glenn, a correspondent for the Trump-fluffing Internet site “Real America’s Voice” – and MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend – was among the media in the Oval Office on Friday for another Donald Trump reality TV-style press conference. Glenn is notorious for posing such vital questions to Trump as “How do you stay so healthy?” and to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, “Do you own a suit?”

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

Donald Trump, Constitution

When Trump called on Glenn, as he always does, Glenn informed Trump that there is a tent across the street from the White House in Lafayette Park with anti-Trump signs and other progressive messages. Glenn told Trump that the tent it is “an eyesore” that the press all have to walk by every day. Although he doesn’t seem bothered by the eyesore he is presently questioning.

Trump interrupted Glenn to say “Oh, I didn’t know that. Take it down. Take it down today. Right now.” He complained that the signs with the tent, that had been there for 40+ years protesting other issues such as nuclear warfare, had “morphed into the radical left.” Which was enough justification for Trump to repeat for a third time his order to “Take it down.”

Brian Glenn, Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend, informs Trump that a there is a tent in the park across from the White House that has anti-Trump signs.Trump then orders it to be taken down. Because he's such a stalwart advocate of free speech? #TrumpIsAFascist

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-06T09:58:49.662Z

Note that, by Trump’s own admission, he has not seen the tent or the signs. But he nevertheless orders its immediate removal on the say so of Glenn, who described it as “anti-American” merely because it is critical of Trump.

This is yet another example of Trump’s seething animosity toward free speech and the Constitution. He has no right to order a protester to cease his legal, peaceful activities. And his command to an unseen subordinate to put the boot down on the protestor reeks of the totalitarian oppression that Trump so admires in his mentors and idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un.

You have to wonder what methods Trump will employ to silence this protester. Will he order the military that he has deployed in D.C. to assault and apprehend him? And if you think that’s going too far with speculation of how brutally Trump might react, take note of this meme that he posted today on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he literally declared WAR on the city of Chicago.

WTHF? Trump is declaring war on…CHICAGO?He posted this on his Truth(less) (Anti)Social today.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-06T17:14:45.497Z

This is Trump’s attitude toward an iconic American city. And it comes complete with images of the city in flames, with military helicopters patrolling it, and a caption that implies its apocalypse.

Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated

Posted by on August 25, 2025 at 12:50 pm. 0 Comments :

The massive, yet fragile, ego of Donald Trump is utterly incapable of tolerating even the slightest criticism from anyone. Particularly the media. And his delusional impression of himself as the infallible, messiah-like overlord of America often results in his frantic condemnations of those who fail to show him the worshipful adoration that he’s convinced that he deserves.

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

Donald Trump and Media - ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX

On Monday morning Trump posted a couple of comments to his failing Truth Social propaganda platform that expressed his outrage at the press for not drooling over every atrocious initiative that he shoves down the nation’s throat. Such as his recent threats to deploy military troops to occupy various American cities that just happen to be led by Black mayors or governors.

SEE THIS: Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining

Trump began his harangue by bragging about his imaginary popularity. For the record, he is languishing near the bottom of the garbage heap of unpopular presidents. A recent Pew Research poll puts his approval at a dismal 38%, with 60% disapproval. That’s in line with almost every other credible poll. But it’s not the way that Trump sees it. He raged that…

“Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!! MAGA”

Whenever Trump cites something “according to many,” he is referring to his slobbering sycophants and/or the disembodied voices in his mush-filled head. In reality, the past eight months have seen the cost of living rise due to Trump’s taxes (tariffs), continuing and escalating wars, assaults on civil liberties and the Constitution, degradation of the environment, efforts to rig upcoming elections, and many more steps toward the dystopia that he hungers for.

Naturally, Trump takes out his anger and fear on the media, like almost every other totalitarian usurper before him. If he doesn’t want to have 97% bad stories, he might want to try not doing 100% bad things. Among which includes his threats to suppress the media by revoking their licenses. [FYI: National broadcast and cable news networks are not licensed by the federal government, so there are no licenses to revoke. Although he could threaten local broadcast affiliates]

Trump’s complaint that the free press is a “threat to democracy” is just another example of his projection in an attempt to impose his agenda of censorship. You’ll notice that he isn’t worried about networks like Fox News or Newsmax or OAN, where he gets 100% positive press. But he was just getting started. A second posting seethed that…

“Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren’t paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES. They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ‘journalism’ should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!”

True to form, Trump is fixated on the financial component of this matter. He views everything in terms of how it might impact his pocketbook. However, his tantrum over what he perceives as “unfair coverage of Republicans” is grossly misplaced. Even if he were correct (he’s not), it would be totally inappropriate for him to dictate how the media reports the news. It is perfectly legal to have opinions and take sides. And doing so does not justify dictating how the coverage should be framed in his own biased opinion, or penalizing the press for exercising their constitutional rights.

Finally, Trump closed his tirade with his demand that any media that doesn’t comply with his dictates “should be terminated!!!” Which is a lesson that he has learned from his mentors and idols, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un. He would love to see journalists kowtow to him out of fear, the way they do in Russia, China, and North Korea. Even though the American media has bees extraordinarily lenient with him, failing to follow up on his relentless lies and ignorant babbling. In a sane media world, deliberate crapola like this would never be allowed to go by unchallenged…

LOLOLOL: Trump's posts are starting to look more and more like the posts by Gavin Newsom mocking him. @GovPressOfficeTrump is such a pitifully infantile embarrassment to America. How can his cult followers continue to worship him?

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

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

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

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

Donald Trump and Gavin Newsom

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump’s Truth Social AI ChatBot Relies Almost Entirely on Fox News and Other Trump-Fluffing Media

Posted by on August 9, 2025 at 12:45 pm. 0 Comments :

It will not come as a surprise to most conscious consumers of the news that Donald Trump is an unrepentant pathological liar. His history of propagating flagrant falsehoods in order to advance his own personal interests is impossible to dismiss. Unless, of course, you are an indoctrinated member of the Cult of Trump and blindly believe whatever he says.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

Following Trump’s first occupation of the White House, the Washington Post (pre-Bezos) published an opus of his obfuscations that totaled more than 30,000 lies in four years. And he has done a pretty darn good job of expanding that collection in the six short months of his re-occupation. In fact, he has broadened his repertoire from common lies to abject insanity.

SEE THIS: Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

In keeping with Trump’s affinity for falsehoods, his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, has adopted a unique method of spreading around the manure of his mendacious mind. The social media sham is pretending to host an Artificial Intelligence tool that is just as deceitful as its boss. As reported by Wired…

“Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group launched the chatbot, called ‘Truth Search AI,’ on Wednesday. The bot is powered by Perplexity AI […]

“In 2024, WIRED published an article detailing how Perplexity had been scraping parts of websites that developers did not want it to access, in violation of the widely accepted web standard known as the Robots Exclusion Protocol. It was also prone to making stuff up, a WIRED analysis showed.”

In other words, it was the perfect model for Trump’s version of AI. Wired conducted tests that revealed just how narrowly defined the Truth Social AI is. Answering a question about “bias in the media system” it advised to “Diversify your sources.” But then cited the five sources for that response, “four of which are Fox News articles.” That constitutes diversity in Trump World, Additionally, Wired found that…

“[T]he chatbot highlighted only seven sources in total in response to my queries—Fox News, Fox Business, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsmax, and JustTheNews.com. This was true even for innocuous, nonpolitical questions. When I ask the bot ‘What is 30 times 30?'”

So that’s where Trump gets his mathematical data to support his ludicrous claims that he has cut drug prices by 1,500%. A Perplexity representative explained that their clients can filter the domains that they want the ChatBot to use. Apparently Truth Social has taken advantage of that feature and excluded everything except the rabidly partisan sources noted above. The only moderately accurate responses came from Associated Press content that Fox News republished on their own site.

In a particularly jarring example from Wired’s analysis, the Truth Social ChatBot failed to correctly describe Trump’s long and well documented relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. According to Wired, the Bot “describes the connection as ‘tenuous,’ and says there is ‘no credible evidence in the search results'” Yeah, right. And Trump freed the slaves while leading the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy.

UPDATE: The Washington Post also tested the Truth Social AI and found that it would sometimes produce accurate answers that contradicted some of Trump’s most blatant lies. For instance…

“Truth Search AI contradicts the president by saying that tariffs are a tax on Americans, the 2020 election wasn’t stolen, and his family’s cryptocurrency investments pose a potential conflict of interest. Asked about Jan. 6, 2021, it said the ‘insurrection’ at the U.S. Capitol was violent and linked to Trump’s ‘baseless claims of widespread election fraud.’ […] When asked if crime in Washington is ‘totally out of control,’ as Trump posted there last week, Truth Search AI said it wasn’t and noted that the FBI and Justice Department had reported ‘substantial declines in violent crime’ through 2024.”

At least now we know the degree of “truth” that we can expect from Truth Social. Not that any further evidence of its dishonesty was needed. But this is the sort of documentary proof of their unambiguous intention to deceive. It’s not accidental. And anyone who uses the site for information is just asking to be lied to. So the MAGA minions will love it.

UH-OH! Fox News Op-Ed Tells the Truth About Trump’s Awful Economy and Broken Promises (AKA Lies)

Posted by on August 8, 2025 at 2:52 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past six months much of the mainstream media has demonstrated an extraordinary capacity for indifference to the glaring severity of Donald Trump’s cognitive deficiencies. While he embarks on daily excursions into rambling incoherence, spine-chilling ignorance, and unabashed lies, the press has largely failed to adequately report the measure of his mental decline.

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

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

As a result, we see Trump repeatedly bragging that he has cut drug prices by 1,500% (which is mathematically impossible), that his taxes/tariffs have brought in hundreds of billions of dollars (that are paid by American consumers), that he has personally ended half a dozen wars (in his cartoon brain), and weighing in on the most important issues of the day, such as Stephen Colbert being canceled and Sydney Sweeney’s jeans…

SEE THIS: Trump’s Cognitive Weakness is on Display in a Psycho Sydney Sweeney Rant that Goes Way Off Track

All of this makes it somewhat surprise that a less than flattering editorial was published by Fox News Friday morning. The article featured the headline: “Trump Breaks ‘Day One’ Promise to Lower Costs as Prices Surge Across America in First Six Months” While that isn’t exactly breaking news to anyone who has been paying attention, it is outside of the political lanes that Fox News generally straddles. The article began…

“The defining promise of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was lower costs on ‘Day One.’ He broke it. The first six months of this administration have been marked by ever-higher prices. […]

“The campaign trail promises sounded too good to be true, because they were. Trump committed to ‘end’ inflation, cut energy costs ‘in half,’ make health care more affordable, and that Americans would see ‘drastic price reductions’ and cheaper groceries.”

None of those promises were fulfilled. Although Trump claimed credit for succeeding on all counts, without ever providing a shred of evidence to support his claims. In fact, when data was revealed that proved how badly he has performed, he fired the those responsible for providing the data, and ordered a his regime to take over the data gathering agencies and reshape them to his liking.

It’s notable that this Fox News editorial, authored jointly by a former Bush aide and a former Biden aide, appeared only on the Fox website. It has not been reported on their cable network. To the contrary, the network’s reliably Trump-fluffing sycophants have obediently spewed the dishonest propaganda prepared for them by the White House. Nevertheless, expect Trump to freak out and call Fox “fake news.”

For his part, Trump was hard at work at his usual post – dropping ludicrous comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. in an excerpt from a tediously long tirade about tariffs and court rulings, he raged that…

“If a Radical Left Court ruled against us at this late date, in an attempt to bring down or disturb the largest amount of money, wealth creation and influence the U.S.A. has ever seen, it would be impossible to ever recover, or pay back, these massive sums of money and honor. It would be 1929 all over again, a GREAT DEPRESSION!”

To reiterate, the “massive sums of money” that he’s ranting about are paid by American consumers. And his efforts to instill fear of a 1929 style “GREAT DEPRESSION” are the typical tactics of aspiring authoritarians to frighten the masses into submission. In reality, the tariffs are inflationary and need to be withdrawn. And the courts are merely being asked to uphold the Constitution that stipulates that only Congress can impose tariffs.

It would be helpful if Fox News would expose their viewers to the facts revealed in the editorial. But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. More broadly, it would be helpful for the media to report on Trump’s mental health, or lack thereof. They seemed obsessed with covering President Biden’s age-related imperfections, but they are brazenly ignoring the far worse maladies of Trump whose madness is undeniable, and who is currently in a position to do much greater harm.

WTF are they waiting for? Trump to start a nuclear war? Because he has already talked about it. And in the meantime, he’s conspiring to amass tyrannical power, incarcerate opponents, take over city and state governments, rig elections, and shut down the free press. The threat is real and is bearing down upon us now. There is literally no time to waste.

Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

Posted by on August 2, 2025 at 1:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The lengths that MAGA media will go to exalt Donald Trump seem to be stretching ever further into the stratosphere of slobbering sycophancy. When Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any support, many people thought it was a gross exaggeration for effect. It turns out he was understating the degree of worshipfulness that Trump’s cult followers are capable of.

Donald Trump, Pervert

The continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and his unsavory relationship with Trump is proving to be revealing on many levels. It is showcasing Trump’s affinity for pedophiles, as well as his own perverse lechery. It is putting on display how brazenly he will lie and suppress any information that might expose his grotesque behavior. And it is giving the Trump-fluffing press endless opportunities to suck up to him while burying any potentially incriminating facts. Even so, he is not doing himself any favors.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Among the Trumpiest media venues is Newsmax, where its prime host, Greg Kelly, holds court every night to lavish praise on Dear Leader. And his fierce defense for Trump during the Epstein scandal is second-to-none for unabashed adoration. On Friday night’s program, Kelly addressed Trump’s tender feelings toward Epstein partner, and convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, to whom he had sent his “best wishes” when she was arrested.

More recently Trump was questioned about his Justice Department sending his former personal attorney, now Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to interview Maxwell in prison. The inquiries included whether he would grant Maxwell a pardon. Instead of the rational and decent response – an unqualified “Hell no!” – Trump replied “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon.” It was revealed shortly thereafter that the Trump regime had Maxwell transferred from the federal prison in Florida to a cushy, minimum security facility in Texas.

In the midst of these events Newsmax’s Kelly delivered a monologue that should produce a severe state of nausea in principled people. After this aberrent episode, the network might want to consider renaming itself “NewsMaxwell.” Kelly gushed…

“Oh boy. There he is again. Jeffrey Epstein…He pled guilty to that horrible, sick stuff. But that doesn’t mean that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty. And there is a hell of a lot of evidence out there that she’s innocent. And a hell of a lot of evidence that they railroaded her. Part of a “deep state,” hysterical media plot. And I don’t like it. And I don’t care if it’s unpopular. In fact, I’m really kind of impressed with Trump right now, that he won’t be boxed in when it comes to this story.”

This Newsmax freak is not only defending Trump, he's defending convicted child sex trafficker, and Jeffrey Epstein partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.Because if you're a Trump defender you are by default a pedophile defender.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-02T16:55:33.425Z

It’s true that Epstein’s crimes don’t mean that Maxwell is guilty. What makes Maxwell guilty is that she was convicted unanimously by a jury after considering the evidence and applying the law. Kelly’s assertion that there is “a lot of evidence out there that she is innocent” is pure garbage. And notably, he didn’t bother to cite any of that allegedly abundant evidence.

However, what really makes Kelly’s rant abhorrent is how he connects it to Trump. Kelly is “impressed” that Trump refuses to “be boxed in” simply because Maxwell was convicted on the strength of convincing documentary evidence and witness testimony against her. What courage Trump is showing in Kelly’s glassy-eyed view.

Much of the MAGA media shares Kelly’s perverse perspective. But they aren’t particularly confident about it. They are so afraid trying to support their position that have virtually banished most reporting about Maxwell and Epstein. For instance, this week Fox News spent only about 18 minutes reporting on Epstein, but 181 minutes on a Sydney Sweeney jeans advertisement.

Between Monday and Thursday, Fox News mentioned Sydney Sweeney 181 times, and Jeffrey Epstein 18 times.

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter.bsky.social) 2025-08-01T14:52:03.740Z

Meanwhile, Trump is busy making matters worse for himself. On another Newsmax program the same day, Trump was interviewed by Rob Finnerty. During that segment Trump described how much he lusts after his Propaganda Secretary, Karolina Leavitt. And if this doesn’t make your skin crawl, you might ant to consult a mental health professional…

OMG! "THOSE LIPS. THE WAY THEY MOVE!"Trump is letting the world see his grotesque lust for his 26 year old Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.How can anyone watch this and not be creeped out by this wrinkled perv?

Trump Congratulates OAN for Getting ‘Millions of New Viewers’ That They Didn’t Actually Get

Posted by on July 31, 2025 at 2:52 pm. 0 Comments :

People often forget that Donald Trump was in the television business for many years. In fact, that was likely his primary source of income, since his real estate ventures were failures, including four casinos that went bankrupt. Think about it… No real “billionaire” would have the time or inclination to host a reality TV game show for fourteen seasons unless he needed the money.

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

Donald Trump, OAN

Ordinarily, someone with that sort of experience in the TV business would learn something about it. But there is nothing ordinary about Trump. His inability to process and retain information is exhibited on a daily basis in his bizarre and incoherent ramblings on subjects having to do with his current grift: the presidency of the United States. What he has learned about that business would fit onto a used gum wrapper.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump Unloads Dozens of Deranged Comments in a Morning Rage that Confirms His Mental Infirmity

On Thursday morning Trump let his cult followers on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, know just how ignorant he is about his prior profession. He posted a comment about the growing prospects of the One America News Network saying that…

“OAN is making a huge comeback, with millions of new viewers. Congratulations to OAN and all of those who worked so hard to get you there!”

Notice that Trump doesn’t bother to cite any source for that congratulatory statement. Like most of what he says, it is either misinterpreted, grossly exaggerated, or utterly false. Pathological liars don’t need facts to support their fabrications. And if they have devoted disciples like the MAGA minions, it hardly matters. They will believe whatever he tells them to believe.

What Trump is likely referring to is that Spectrum recently added OAN to its channel lineup, making it available to millions of Spectrum subscribers. That doesn’t mean that any of them actually watched it. It’s like a restaurant adding a shit sandwich to the menu. That doesn’t mean anyone is going to order one.

Nielsen doesn’t track OAN’s audience because it is too small to register. They did briefly in 2019 and found an average of only about 14,000 viewers. Since then OAN lost distribution on major cable networks such as Verizon Fios and DirecTV. So it’s difficult to suggest that their viewership has increased since then.

Nevertheless, this is what Trump regards as a “huge comeback” worthy of a glowing, public congratulation. But no matter what Trump says, he still can’t manage to get his flock to abandon Fox News. Not that he hasn’t tried…

Trump didn’t mention another source of potential new viewers for OAN: The Voice of America. In May, Kari Lake, who is currently serving as Trump’s special advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM), announced a partnership with OAN to provide newsfeed services to USAGM networks, including the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), Radio Martí, and Voice of America (VOA).

The usurpation of these networks by Trump’s propaganda regime completely destroys their intended purpose to broadcast honest and reliable news into countries where it is otherwise prohibited. And delivering OAN’s notoriously untrustworthy programming to the world can only result in humiliation for the U.S. The network has been – and is being – sued for its false reporting. However, in an ironic twist, Trump has also presided over the defunding of the USAGM and directed his team to put their staffs on leave. So there may be no one to implement the OAN broadcasts.

What’s more, Trump’s efforts to dismantle the USAGM are being challenged in court where the funds allocated by Congress, and the original staff of real journalists, could be reinstated. In the meantime, Trump can be expected to continue disseminating lies and decreeing mandates that weaken the free press. But the only new viewers that OAN will gain in any of this will be in Trump’s fertile imagination.

In a Fox News Propaganda Coup, Lara Trump Interviews Papa Trump and Never Mentions Epstein

Posted by on July 13, 2025 at 11:39 am. 0 Comments :

The totalitarian dictatorships of Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un must be terribly envious of the smarmy fawning that Donald Trump enjoys from his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Even Russia and North Korea would be too ashamed to manufacture the gamey media communion that Trump enjoys with his Fox friends.

Donald Trump Fox News

The intertwining of Trump’s administration with Fox News is impossible to ignore. He has recruited at least 21 Fox hosts or contributors to serve in his White House staff and Cabinet, including his secretaries of defense (Pete Hegseth) and transportation (Sean Duffy). And because the revolving door swings both ways, numerous Trump associates have taken positions at Fox News, including his former press secretary (Kayleigh McEnany), his former White House Counselor (Kellyanne Conway), and several MAGA Congress members.

On Saturday Fox News host and First Daughter-in-Law, Lara Trump, interviewed her own father-in-lawlessness, Donald Trump. Remember, this is on a network that has the audacity to include the word “news” in its name. But anyone who expected any actual news to emanate from this interview is terminally naïve.

Among the journalistic atrocities that occurred in this episode was one wherein Lara asked what may be the easiest political question ever contrived. And true to form, Trump flubbed the answer…

LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?
TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.

When asked the softball question of the century by his daughter-in-law on Fox News, this mofo BLAMES THE VICTIMS!?!LARA: What is your message to the people that are suffering, to the parents of the young girls that were killed?TRUMP: They were warned the day before, 2 days before.

That’s right! When asked to simply give his message to the grieving families who suffered through the Texas floods, Trump blamed the victims for not heeding the warnings. The warnings that, by the way, were never properly delivered due to Trump’s decimating of the National Weather Service.

The rest of the interview was just as bad. For instance, Lara asked Trump another probing inquiry about his legacy. Trump replied predictably by both glorifying himself and insulting his political foes, saying that he wants to be remembered as…

“A good person, but a person that saved our country. I really believed our country was going down for the fall. I don’t know if it ever could’ve come back. It was very close to the edge”

LARA TRUMP: How would you like to be remembered?TRUMP: A good person, but a person that saved our country.

Trump continued by citing praise from “A lot of people [who] thought my first term was phenomenal. I did.” Then Trump praised himself with a preposterous distortion of reality concerning his Cabinet that is currently at each others throats, saying that “We have really good people this time, and they get along with each other. They love each other.”

REALLY? LOVE? The battle ensuing between Trump Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and his FBI heads, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, is burning up the current news cycle as they clash on why the infamous Jeffrey Epstein client lists haven’t been release as promised. So it’s interesting that it never came up in Lara’s interview of the one person who could release those files now.

Nevertheless, that internecine war is playing out on Trump’s failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in a comment by Trump that is profoundly deranged. What follows are a few annotated excerpts…

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration”
Trump is whining about his own supporters who are outraged by his cover up of the Epstein files. And he has a strange definition of “PERFECT” that seems to include incompetent, unqualified, infighting, and perversely adoring of Dear Leader.

“Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration?”
So the Epstein files don’t exist. Except that they do exist, but Trump still won’t release them, even though they were written by Obama and his other political foes.

“Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?”
Why doesn’t Trump release the Epstein files? If there is NOTHING in there that could hurt him and the MAGA movement, why doesn’t he come clean and keep his promise?

“Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020. […] The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what [Pam Bondi] is looking into as AG.”
So Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are laser focused on political retribution, rather than fighting real crime and keeping the country safe.

“[Let’s] not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
Trump has a funny way of showing that nobody cares about Jeffrey Epstein by disgorging a rambling and tediously long treatise that proves just how much he cares about and/or fears what his files might contain.

Fox News must be so proud of Lara for snagging this exclusive interview. Just imagine how MAGA would have responded if MSNBC had hired Hunter Biden and he scored an interview with his father, the President. And never mind that Lara is currently mulling a race for the North Carolina Senate. Which means that she in violation of the Fox News policy that prohibits people who are running, or considering running, for office from being employed on the network. It’s not like Fox needs to respect journalistic ethics. They never have before.

Fox News is Terrified of Jasmine Crockett, So They Lob Lame Smears to Help Her GOP Opponents

Posted by on July 10, 2025 at 1:03 pm. 0 Comments :

The Republican Party just cashed in a boatload of their political capital to get Donald Trump’s “Big Ugly Billionaire Bailout Act” (BUBBA), passed so that they can throw millions of people off of Medicaid, finance savage apprehensions of working migrants, cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and explode the national debt.

Jasmine Crockett on Fox News

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

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

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

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

Fox News: "A shocking poll shows Texas Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is leading in the race for incumbent Republican John Cornyn's Senate seat."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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