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.”

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.

Trump’s Secretary of Wars, Pete Hegseth, Openly Yearns For Government Control of the Media

Posted by on March 13, 2026 at 2:02 pm. 0 Comments :

Nearly two weeks ago, Donald Trump launched a wholly unprovoked, illegal war against Iran that many experts have concluded was his attempt to juice his historically slumping approval ratings, or as a favor to his foreign friends (e.g. Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc.), and/or to deflect attention from his unsavory relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his obstruction of the release of the Epstein files.

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Nevertheless, the war against Iran, that Trump says he has already won and can end any time wants (but doesn’t want to), continues to rage on, producing more tragic injuries and deaths of American soldiers, and hundreds more of Iranian civilians. But not to worry. Trump’s Secretary of “Wars,” Pete Hegseth, is laser focused on the “excursion” (as Trump calls it), and is managing the conflict exactly as you might expect a former Fox New host to do…

SEE THIS: Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Secretary of ‘Wah’ is a Crybaby Who Bans ‘Unflattering’ Photos of Himself

On Friday Hegseth held another press conference to lie about the progress of the war. In each of his prior media avails, Hegseth has spent more time lambasting the media than providing any honest information about the what’s going on in Iran. This time was no different as Hegseth sought to portray any bad news as “fake,” while assuming the facade of a macho war gamer in his mom’s basement (video below). For instance…

“We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in this crew, in the press, just can’t stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines. I used to be in that business. And I know that everything is written intentionally.”

For the record, according to international humanitarian law, orders to give “no quarter, no mercy,” are regarded as war crimes. And Hegseth’s bragging that he used to be in the media business only affirms his experience with, and devotion to, surface level appearances. He went on to say that…

“More fake news from CNN: ‘Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the Strait of Hormuz.’ Patently ridiculous, of course. For decades, Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do. Hold the Strait hostage. CNN doesn’t think we thought of that. It’s a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.’

If the Trump regime did anticipate that Iran would block the Strait, then why didn’t they do anything about it in advance to mitigate its impact? Did they just decide to let Iran shut down oil traffic in the Strait, roiling energy markets and raising gas prices? Because that’s what it seems like based on another comment by Hegseth, who said that “The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is Iran shooting at shipping.” Really? What an enlightening update. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Hegseth then added that the Strait would be “open for transit if Iran didn’t do that.” That’s true. But it’s like saying that Mar-a-Lago would be open for pedophiles if Trump…Oh wait. It already is!

Even worse was Hegseth’s view that “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.” He is flagrantly advocating the sort of fascist takeover of the media that is practiced in authoritarian regimes like Russia, China, and North Korea. And he is admitting that the acquisition of CNN by David and Larry Ellison would achieve the right-wing bias that critics of the merger have warned about.

Hegseth’s official DoD Twitter account was apparently proud of his remarks about Iran and the media. It posted a tweet saying that “SECWAR JUST LIT UP THE FAKE NEWS:” Perhaps in their own imaginations. More realistically, Hegseth just provided more proof of his dishonesty and disrespect for the First Amendment.

What’s more, Hegseth was saying all of this in a press room where he has previously banned most of the media that isn’t already MAGA-friendly. Among the “reporters” in the room were those from Trump-fluffing networks such as Lindell TV, One America News, and Real America News. So it’s no wonder that there wasn’t any serious pushback or follow ups.

WHUT? Fox News ‘Democrat’ Says Trump Deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for His War Against Iran

Posted by on March 6, 2026 at 2:01 pm. 0 Comments :

For the past few months, Donald Trump has been signing off his Truth Social posts by saying “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Setting aside the fact that he is misusing that phrase, which is usually intended to admonish lazy customer service reps, anyone who has actually been paying attention to Trump has observed his obsession with awarding himself a Nobel Peace Prize.

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

Donald Trump

Trump’s egomaniacal fixations and malignant narcissism have naturally spread to his cult followers who glorify his every word and deed. The result has been a parade of Trump toadies seeking to regale him with all manner of honors and trophies, most of which were made up just for him. And nowhere is this more evident than on Fox News.

SEE THIS: Fox News Lunacy: There’s ‘Universal Agreement’ on this Show for Trump to Get a Nobel Peace Prize

On Friday Fox News tied their Trump worship to his recently launched Middle East war mongering. In a segment discussing the justification for Trump going to war against Iran, they booked Julian Epstein (no, not that Epstein), a frequent guest on Fox News who fits the profile of a “Fox News Democrat” (i.e. an alleged Democrat who always bashes Democrats). Epstein wasted little time in slobbering all over Trump and declaring that…

“What I think Donald Trump is doing is, is heroic. I think if this is successful, it will be something that could qualify him once again for a Nobel Peace Prize.”

Of course. What better reason could there be to award the Nobel Peace Prize than the unprovoked military assault on a smaller country that they cavalierly accused of being an “imminent threat” with no evidence to back it up? Epstein even said that the U.S. “will be seen as liberators” in Iran. Which is chillingly reminiscent of Dick Cheney saying prior to George W. Bush attacking Iraq that “My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.”

This isn’t the first time that Epstein has proposed that Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize, and for the same reason. Last year when Trump bombed Iran, supposedly “obliterating” all of their nuclear capabilities, Epstein posted this tweet…

Around the same time, Epstein’s proposal was taken up by Republicans in Congress. Sen. Bernie Moreno introduced a resolution for the Senate to formally nominate Trump for the Nobel. Moreno said that Trump deserved it because he had “just pulled off…peace in the Middle East with Iran’s nuclear arsenal decimated.” And also because of “his historic brokerage of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.” An agreement that Trump appears to have obliterated, if it ever actually existed.

The manic compulsion by Epstein, Moreno, and Fox News to pay tribute to Trump is further proof that Trump is not the head of a political party. He is the Dear Leader of a pseudo-religious cult. And his disciples are devoted to exalting this modern day “Prince of Peace” at all times. What else should be expected for the man who appointed himself the Chairman of the “Board of Peace” that he created?

Pete Hegseth Callously Dismisses American Fatalities as the Press ‘Wanting to Make Trump Look Bad’

Posted by on March 4, 2026 at 2:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have manifested in innumerable ways during his occupation of the White House. He has been resolutely averse to complying with federal law and the Constitution. He has refused to acknowledge the role of either Congress or the courts as co-equal branches of the American republic. And he has made it his mission to alienate America’s international allies, while embracing its sworn enemies.

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

This has been painfully apparent in the four days since Trump launched his reckless, unjustified, and illegal war against Iran. There has already been a tragic loss of life of American troops. Not to mention hundreds of innocent Iranians. And all because of Trump’s obsession with war mongering and desperate craving to be perceived as a macho man, despite his personal resume of cowardice and the weakness of envy.

SEE THIS: Trump Reveals His OCD (Obama Compulsive Disorder) Played a Role in Launching a War Against Iran

Taking his cues from Trump, the Secretary of Toy Soldier War, Pete Hegseth, held a press harangue on Wednesday morning to provide his update on the regress of the Iran war, that nobody in the Republican Party or crony MAGA media will admit is a war. During his extending rant, Hegseth made his feelings known about both the fallen soldiers under his command and the media that reports on their fates. He whined that…

“This is what the fake news misses. We’ve taken control of Iran’s airspace and waterways without boots on the ground. We control their fate. But when a few drones get through or tragic things happen, it’s front page news. I get it, the press only wants to make the president look bad. But try for once to report the reality. The terms of this war will be set by us at every step.”

Notice that Hegseth himself refers to this as a war. Then he goes on to characterize the death of American troops as merely that “tragic things happen.” That’s true. Tragic things happen when incompetents whose prior experience was hosting weekend programs on Fox News are put in charge of massive military bureaucracies. But rather than taking responsibility for it, Hegseth blames the media for giving it the proper attention that fallen heroes deserve on the front pages and opening segments of their reporting.

However, to Hegseth, “reporting the reality” of these tragedies is just the media’s attempts “to make the president look bad.” Trust me…Trump doesn’t need any help from the media to look bad. But Hegseth is outraged because reporting that Americans have died in this regime’s war of choice and vanity can’t be spun as something positive for Dear Leader Trump.

Making matters worse, when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, was asked about Hegseth’s callous remarks, she took the same position…

Kaitlan Collins of CNN: Given what Hegseth said this morning, is it the position of this administration that the press should not prominently cover the deaths of U.S. Service members?
Leavitt: No, it’s the position of this administration that the press in this room, and the press across the country, should accurately report on the success of operation Epic Fury and the damage it is doing to the rogue Iranian regime that has threatened the lives of every single American in this room. […]

The press does only want to make the president look bad. Especially you, and especially CNN […] You and your network know that you take every single thing that this administration says and tries to use it to make the president look bad. That is an objectable (sic) fact.

Leavitt personally insults Collins, while literally saying that the job of the press is to report only “the success of operation Epic Fury” (aka Epstein Fury), not the reality. Because the reality has the unfortunate, albeit accurate, side effect of hurting Trump’s objectively abysmal reputation. And she flagrantly lies that it’s a fact that “every single thing” the administration says is used by CNN to make him look bad. Has she never seen Scott Jennings, Ben Ferguson, Batya Ungar-Sargon, Ari Fleischer, and many more of CNN’s Trump-fluffers?

Leavitt conveniently fails to mention Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, where she spends more time than she does at her White House office. And Fox News has also been regurgitating the Trump regime’s talking points about Iran, while downplaying the bad news. For instance, Fox’s Emily Compagno recently gushed that Trump “is a president that does not take the loss of those six American lives lightly. He takes it with the gravitas it deserves.” For the record, here is the “gravitas” that Trump expresses for the loss of life…

Fox News Tells a Couple of the Most Stunningly Preposterous Lies that They Have Ever Concocted

Posted by on February 27, 2026 at 2:52 pm. 0 Comments :

Fox News has been disseminating right-wing propaganda for thirty years. And for thirty years they have been telling flagrant lies to advance their brazenly partisan political objectives. Originally they did it it to push conservative policies, but these days it’s mostly for the benefit of Donald Trump. And at this point, no one should expect anything resembling the truth to come from either of them.

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

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

That said, you might think that after all that time and practice that Fox News had gotten pretty good had manufacturing falsehoods. However, it appears that they are either becoming lazy or have totally run out of ways to construct their dishonest distortions of reality. Which could explain why they resort to blathering nonsense like this…

SEE THIS: GOP Oversight Chairman Lies that 85% of Trump-Epstein Pervs are Democrats’ – Reality Disagrees

On Thursday night’s episode of the Fox News version of a comedy show, Gutfeld, they invited Michele Tafoya, a former sports reporter and current Republican candidate for the Senate in Minnesota, to join their pitifully unfunny panel in a gangbang assault on California and its governor, Gavin Newsom. When it was Tafoya’s turn to fudge the facts, she really performed at a level of peak bullshittery, saying that…

“Almost 30 percent of Californians are homeless on any given night. 30 PERCENT! That is the largest margin by far.”

Needless to say, that comment is ridiculous, and worse, it’s profoundly stupid. It would mean that, given California’s population of 40 million, there would be 12 million homeless Californians, The actual number is about 187,000, or 0.47 percent of the state’s total population. So Tafoya is only off by about 6,300 percent. In fact, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there are about 771,000 homeless nationwide. For the record:

“California’s homelessness plummeted in 2025 — with the largest drop in 15 years — according to preliminary data, due to Governor Newsom’s strategies to reduce homelessness, address encampments, and create shelter and support. […] While homelessness continued to increase nationwide, California reduced its unsheltered homeless population by an estimated 9%.”

In the Era of Trump the lies promulgated by Fox News face stiff competition from Trump himself. No one is more adept at spewing ludicrous lies than the current occupier of the White House. Trump can’t help himself. Even after being called out for obvious, provable lies, he persists in retelling them. Such as his deranged assertions that he won the 2020 election that was rigged. Or his hysterical claim that his failing economy is the best in U.S. history. Or his desperate attempts to avoid accountability for his affairs with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And with regard to the latter, Fox News isn’t giving in.

On Friday’s episode of “Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary during the first Trump administration, tried to absolve Trump of guilt for his unsavory relationship with Epstein. She falsely claimed that Trump had never been on Epstein’s plane, disgustingly known as the “Lolita Express.” But documented evidence proves that he did fly with Epstein multiple times.

What remains a mystery is how anyone can believe anything that either Trump or Fox News says. They have both been proven to be shameless, pathological liars. And the only explanation for why anyone would still trust them after all the times they have been exposed, is that IT’S A CULT! And the disciples are never going to question Dear Leader or his Ministry of Propaganda.

Fox News is TERRIFIED of How Awful Trump is Doing Prior to His State of the Union Lie Fest

Posted by on February 23, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

Every public appearance by Donald Trump is an opportunity for him to disseminate another bunch of flagrant falsehoods that are designed to manufacture a fantasy world wherein he is not merely a strong leader, but the savior of all mankind. He desperately yearns to be perceived as the infallible and divinely anointed Messiah of MAGA.

Donald Trump baby with Fox News logo

Consequently, the annual State of Union address is a profoundly significant event that has the potential to make or break a president, depending on how they perform, and how the public perceives it. In Trump’s case it is another chance to deceive America with ludicrous claims of fictitious accomplishments, rancid insults aimed at his many perceived political enemies, tiresome repetitions of imagined offenses, and egomaniacal exaltations of his delusional magnificence.

SEE THIS: CUE TRUMP TANTRUM: Multiple Polls Find that Most Americans Favor Biden Over Trump

Naturally, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is feverishly working to promote Dear Leader prior to his big day before Congress and the nation. And who better than Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, to spearhead the effort to pump up Trump. So on her morning program on Monday she unloaded this bit of buffoonery…

“It’s incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump’s success – he’s been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast – that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union. Adam Schiff, Mr. Russia Collusion himself, said he’s not gonna show up to the State of the Union tomorrow night.”

Maria Bartiromo: "It's incredible to me that it appears to be that the Democrats are so angry about President Trump's success, he's been so successful on so many levels and has done things so fast that now the Democrats are boycotting the State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:15:45.524Z

Bartiromo is right. Trump has been incredibly successful. At exacerbating inflation; at raising the cost of living for everyone but the rich; at causing healthcare premiums to skyrocket; at terrorizing law-abiding residents of Democratic run cities; at decimating regulations that mitigate the harm of Climate Change; at blowing up boats with potentially innocent fisherman in the Caribbean; at alienating America’s international allies, while embracing authoritarian foes; at undermining the First Amendment and suppressing the free press; and at destroying the Republican Party and any hopes they had of maintaining their majorities in Congress.

What’s more, Bartiromo is demonstrating that she is just as out of touch with the American people as Trump is. She appears to be utterly unaware that Trump’s standing among voters is historically low. On Monday morning CNN’s polling analyst, Harry Enten, observed that Trump is floundering in deeply negative territory.

“Trump’s net approval rating, look at all the pre-SOTU polls…negative 27 points…Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2018, in term one going into those State of the Unions…way lower now. The bottom line is this: Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union address, according to our CNN polling, than he is right now. And weaker by a considerable amount. [And] Trump isn’t just weaker than he’s ever been going into a State of the Union address, he’s weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address at this point in their second term.”

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating. Look at the pre-SOTU polls. Look at that — negative 27 points! My goodness gracious. Compare that to where he was in 2020, 2019, and 2017 — minus 10, way lower now. The bottom line is Donald Trump has never been weaker going into a State of the Union."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-02-23T13:35:59.999Z

Bartiromo is obviously taking her cues from Trump himself. He is fervently gaslighting the nation, telling reporters on Monday that “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” But with nonsense like that he’s just reminding voters, who know better, that he is woefully out of touch with their lives. Democrats are likely to be hoping that he keeps telling these lies, because he’s really helping their electoral prospects in November.

As for the State of the Union, there is a respite for those who don’t want to be tortured by another hour or two of Trump spitting lies and rage-whining. As Bartiromo was kind enough to point out, MeidasTouch and MoveOn are hosting a People’s State of the Union. And Kid Rock is guaranteed not to be there.

For those Boycotting the State of the Union, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are hosting the People’s State of the Union. Let’s unite at this live event for an uplifting and powerful purpose. ???

Disgraced CBS News Is Intent On Keeping a Known Jeffrey Epstein Associate On Its News Team

Posted by on February 16, 2026 at 1:46 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the core missions of Donald Trump in his second occupation of the White House has been the total subjugation of the free press. He has assaulted it with retributive prosecutions, meritless lawsuits, and always infantile insults aimed at honest journalists (mostly women) who had the audacity to report the truth about him.

Donald Trump on CBS News (See BS)

Sadly, Trump has had some success in that brazenly fascist undertaking due to the cowardice and/or complicity of some the big media conglomerates who feared Trump’s retribution or who were feebly seeking favor from the corrupt and self-serving Trump regime. Their subservience has been evident in their groveling concessions to settle ludicrous legal disputes by paying millions of dollars in phony damages – aka bribes. And none has more obviously knelt down to Herr Trump than the toadies at Paramount.

SEE THIS: Paramount Caves to Trump’s Extortion, Disgraces CBS, Pays a $16M Bribe to Settle a Bogus Lawsuit

Now CBS has embarked on a new and more insidious scandal involving a sleazy “doctor,” Peter Attia, with known ties to child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, that he admits. CBS is owned by Paramount, which in turn is owned by Trump’s buddy and fellow billionaire, Larry Ellison. His corporate monolith is now seeking, via a hostile stock bid, to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, which owns, among other things, CNN. Trump has already given his blessing to that proposed merger, despite the fact that Warner has accepted an offer from Netflix. Perhaps that’s because Ellison promised to make changes that Trump wants.

Shortly after Ellison merged his company with Skydance Media, owned by his son, David, they installed the notoriously right-wing blogger, Bari Weiss, to run CBS News, even though she had zero experience or qualifications to assume that position. Her brief tenure has already seen her make some abhorrent decisions, including censoring CBS’ 60 Minutes by nixing a segment on the El Salvador torture camp that Trump has been sending migrants to.

A few weeks ago Weiss announced that she was going to hire a bunch of MAGA-tized cronies from her Internet website to join CBS News. Among them was the disreputable “doctor” Attia. But that announcement was quickly marred by a revelation that ought to have doomed his appointment. According to The Guardian…

“Two weeks after a trove of files revealed extensive – and inappropriate – communications between Jeffrey Epstein and a recently named CBS News contributor, the longevity expert Peter Attia, the network appears to have settled on keeping him. […] Attia is one of the 19 on-air contributors that editor-in-chief Bari Weiss said she was ‘so excited’ to announce.” […]

“[O]n 30 January, the justice department’s release of millions of documents showed that Attia had expressed a fondness for Epstein and used extremely graphic language in at least one email to him. That Attia had met with Epstein was previously known before CBS News hired him.”

Attia’s name appears in the Epstein files more than 1,800 times. His emails to Epstein express his unsettling affection for him, as well as his creepy concern that he “can’t tell a soul” about their unsavory friendship. He also recalls that he felt “spoiled after staying in your great place.” And yet, Attia defended the relationship saying that “I was not involved in any criminal activity.” Nevertheless, he went on to say that “I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public.”

Notice that Attia is defending what he just called indefensible. And it appears that the only problem he has with any of it is that it became public. How Weiss and the Ellisons can continue to justify the hiring of this slimeball is incomprehensible. But it is consistent with the immorality that is the hallmark of the Era of Trump and the aversion to ethics that Trump represents and for which he is the role model of indecency. So Attia will fit right in.

UPDATE: Attia has quietly resigned from CBS News following the pressure from a broad array of bipartisan critics. Keep up the pressure on the MAGA media and all things Trump. IT WORKS!

UPDATE: Trump Hasn’t Updated His Much Ballyhooed White House Media Bias Web Page in Months

Posted by on February 15, 2026 at 2:16 pm. 0 Comments :

Nothing has been a bigger priority for Donald Trump during his occupation of the White House than denigrating the free press and taking aggressive actions to suppress it. He relentlessly insults any journalist with the courage to report the truth about him (especially women), and he works tirelessly to promote the Trump-fluffing media that adoringly exalts him no matter how humiliating or dangerous his actions are.

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

Late last year Trump directed his White House Internet team to create and post a web page that he said would expose the bias in the media. Of course, in Trump’s mind that meant only what he considered to be bias. Consequently, Trump’s media bias web page focused solely on news organizations that accurately documented his words and deeds, which invariably reflected negatively on him.

SEE THIS: The Trump White House Website Now Has a Page to Attack Media that Tells the Truth About Him

At the time that Trump’s media bias page was launched, it featured as it’s first target an article about the six members of Congress who appeared in a video wherein they reminded those in the military of their sworn duty to not comply with illegal orders. That resulted in the Trump regime seeking to prosecute them for sedition, with Trump saying that their alleged crime was “punishable by death.”

Trump’s efforts to assassinate sitting members of Congress for advocating following the law were recently foiled by a grand jury that rejected the attempt to indict them. But that has not deterred the Trump regime from it’s campaign to revoke the First Amendment. Now they are going after independent journalist, Don Lemon.

Meanwhile, Trump’s media bias web page moved on from the “illegal orders” story to one wherein they caught a gaffe by CNN’s Jake Tapper. He prematurely reported on December 4th that a suspect in the Washington, D.C. pipe bomb case was White. When more details became available, Tapper corrected the story. However, the White House media bias web page has not been updated since then.

So Trump’s media bias web page has been dormant for over two months. Never mind the fanfare with which they announced it. It now appears to have been abandoned. Which is typical of the Trump regime’s notoriety for incompetence. The web site seems to share with Trump a profoundly short attention span.

No American president has had as hostile an attitude toward the media as Trump. He routinely refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He displays his rancid animus toward honest journalism in his knee-jerk and meritless lawsuits and his infantile insults. His vicious attacks on reporters as “creeps,” “stupid,” and “ugly,” are the price paid for daring to report honestly. The problem is that it’s also the sign of an emerging autocracy.

Donald Trump has launched a "Media Bias" web page on the White House website. And guess what?

The good news is that Trump will soon forget all about whatever imagined offense he is fixated on at any given time as soon as some other shiny object is waved in front of his face. And while that may be good news for the victims of his demented anger, that sort of dementia is a frighteningly horrible trait in a national leader.

Trump Hypes a New York Post Smear of a Democrat for Doing What Many More Republicans Are Doing

Posted by on February 5, 2026 at 2:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The desperation of Donald Trump to manufacture a recovery of his rapidly declining approval is evident in his increasingly ludicrous public remarks and unhinged social media posts. His deranged behavior and brazen dishonesty have always been an integral part of his warped character. But as he sinks ever lower his outbursts are becoming ever more bizarre.

Donald Trump, Twitter

Trump’s polling seems to hit a new low every day. According to the latest Quinnipiac poll, his current approval rating is a dismal 37%. That’s consistent with other polls, most of which show him struggling to reach 40%. Consequently, Trump and his regime mouthpieces are going to extreme lengths to spin reality into something that doesn’t hurt his tender fee fees.

On Wednesday night, Trump himself sought to salve his wounded ego by posting a link on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to an article in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post that smeared a Democratic congressman for trading stocks. The article is a month old, but that doesn’t matter when you’re trying to whip up some positive propaganda from thin air. The headline blared that “Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi beats Pelosi’s stock portfolio performance with 35% return.” It began…

“Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025, beating even the She-Wolf of Wall Street, Nancy Pelosi, data obtained by The Post shows.” […] “Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year.

The article noted that Suozzi “supports bipartisan legislation…to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.” That’s legislation that many Republicans still are not getting behind. And Trump refuses to support it unless it exempts the executive branch – meaning him. All of the pending legislation is currently stalled in committee or awaiting floor votes that are not scheduled.

Near the bottom of the article, the Post finally noted that a Republican, Tim Moore, made even more money trading stocks (52%) than Suozzi, who ranks down at number five. What’s more, a chart included in the article shows that eight of the top ten congressional stock traders are Republicans. Which is not ever mentioned in the text of the article.

Nancy Pelosi’s 18% isn’t even among the top ten, despite having made it into the headline. Although notable Republicans like Ted Cruz (50%), and Lisa Murkowski (35%), and Marjorie Taylor Greene (33%), and Mitch McConnell (29%) are in the top ten. [Note: The Post doesn’t know what Murkowski looks like. They put a photo of Susan Collins on the Murkowski bar of the chart]

For some reason the Post decided to make this article all about the Democratic representative, and only added the Republicans as an afterthought. Even though the Republicans are far worse offenders as revealed on the Post’s own chart. And Trump latches onto it as a handy piece of anti-Democrat propaganda. Even if it’s a month later when he’s scrounging around for ways to smear his political foes and deflect from his own much more serious misconduct and outright crimes. Epstein files, anyone?

BLLSHT: Fox News Host Accuses Hakeem Jeffries of Calling for Kristi Noem to Be ‘Taken Out’

Posted by on January 29, 2026 at 2:36 pm. 0 Comments :

The past two weeks has seen some of the most gruesome conduct perpetrated by the United States government in modern times. Donald Trump is presiding over a criminal enterprise that has invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and murdered American citizens in the streets of their home towns.

Fox News, Bullshit Factory

Many of the MAGA Republicans who bother to discuss these affairs at all, end up trying to blame both sides while calling for the harsh rhetoric to be toned down. Never mind that most of that explosive diarhetoric is coming from the right, and worse, their actions exceed their words. In fact, in the war of words Trump is seeking to muzzle his opponents.

On Thursday morning Harris Faulkner, the host of “Outnumbered” on Fox News, was in the midst of a segment wherein they were defending the barbaric tactics employed by Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The conversation led to a comment by the House Democratic Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to which Faulkner and her comrades took offense. She complained that…

“Hakeem Jeffries says ‘Kristi Noem needs to be on ICE.’ Now I know that’s ineloquent and unfortunate. It’s also just horrible timing. Because we know that means ‘take somebody out.'”

Harris Faulkner: "Hakeem Jeffries says 'Kristi Noem should be on ICE.' I know that's ineloquent and unfortunate. It's also just horrible timing, because we know that means 'take somebody out.'"

So Faulkner is reprising the rhetoric argument to criticize what Jeffries said. But she is pitifully misrepresenting the comment in order stir up more hatred and division.

First of all, Jeffries was obviously connecting his criticism of Trump’s desperately unqualified Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, to the horrific record of ICE with a linguistic association to actual ice. Faulkner knows this, but chooses to inflame the situation unnecessarily.

Furthermore, Faulkner is deliberately distorting the meaning of the colloquial phrase to put someone “on ice.” It does not mean to “take somebody out,” or kill them. It means to “put on hold, or to pause, to allow to cool down.” Which is precisely what Jeffries meant, and even what Faulkner claims to be advocating.

This is similar to the right-wing freak out that occurred last year when James Comey posted an image online of some seashells that spelled out “8647.” The MAGA-tists all babbled about it being an assassination threat. But the phrase is just a term that means “to refuse service, or to kick out of a public establishment.”

Nobody should be surprised at the rank hypocrisy of Fox News, Trump, and others on the right who have been pretending to care about the heated rhetoric. They have been maligning Democrats as traitors for years. And since the penalty for treason is execution, they have been, in effect, calling for them to be killed. Trump did so explicitly when he demanded that several members of Congress be put to death for simply reminding those in the military of their duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders.

All of this only provides further proof that the right is obsessed with killing Democrats and anyone who does not worship Herr Trump. And it’s why they still support how ICE has been killing protesters and brutalizing immigrants. For the rabid right, the celebration of death goes way beyond just words.
