Trump Lies About Ilhan Omar’s Name and Demands that She Immediately Resign From Congress

Posted by on October 23, 2026 at 2:26 pm. 0 Comments :

The litany of lies that Donald Trump disgorges on a daily basis are generally easy to refute. They never have a factual basis or provide any documentary proof. But as we get closer to the midterm election that is predicted to blowout much of Trump’s MAGA Party, his lies are becoming ever more fantastical and preposterous.

Donald Trump Angry

In the past few weeks Trump has narrowed his diarhetorical ranting to ludicrous allegations that every Democrat is a communist who is determined to force all American children to transition to another gender. He has blurted out every racist trope he can think of. He has done everything he can to make the cost of living rise. And he has aided and abetted foreign dictators in their quest to weaken America. All of this right before an election that he is desperately trying to rig in his favor.

SEE THIS: RIGGED! Trump Bans International Election Observers From Monitoring the Upcoming Midterms

On Friday morning Trump was busying himself as usual by posting deranged comments on his failing Twitter rip off, Truth Social. Among them was a long, racist tirade attacking one of his favorite targets, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar. It said in summary that…

“It was just revealed that Ilhan Omar’s name is not Ilhan Omar, the one she used to get elected and sworn into Congress, but rather, it’s an entirely different name, Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, and that her last name is, incredibly, also the exact name of her brother” […]

“Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in, I assume she must IMMEDIATELY resign from Congress.”

True to form, Trump is making utterly unfounded allegations that Omar’s birth name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. It’s not. And he also lied that her former husband is her brother. He isn’t. Omar has repeatedly denied these crackpot conspiracy theories, and in her seven years of congressional service no evidence has ever been produced to back them up. Therefore, Trump’s demand that she resign from Congress is not just patently false, it’s glaringly ridiculous.

Making unfounded allegations is a standard operating procedure for Trump and his MAGA-strates. He has been whining for years that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen” from him. But has never offered any proof of it. He claims that there is rampant voter fraud, but can’t seem to document it. He is in a near constant rage over what he calls “fake news,” which always just turns out to be truthful news that he doesn’t like.

If Trump really wants to pursue his attack on Omar, he might want to include a few others who actually did run for office under names that were not their own legal birth names. For instance, James Donald Bowman, aka Vice-President JD Vance. Or Rafael Edward Cruz, aka Sen. Ted Cruz. Or James Michael Johnson, aka GOP House Peaker Mike Johnson. Maybe we should throw them all out of office.

There are surely more. But the way things are going for Republicans, voters are likely to take care of throwing them out in the upcoming election, or the next one in 2028.

TOO LATE! Trump Says He Will Spend $400 Million in Futile Effort to Avoid a Midterm MAGA Massacre

Posted by on October 20, 2026 at 2:42 pm. 0 Comments :

In the last two weeks of an election cycle there are frequently frantic candidates scurrying around to make their closing arguments and shore up their campaign’s efforts to prevail. That generally manifests in advertising blitzes and multiple media appearances. And this midterm election cycle is no different for the most part. However, where their are differences they come from a familiar source.

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

Donald Trump, Snake Tongue

Donald Trump may think he’s fooling people with his constant claims of unmitigated successes, but the more dismal reality is evident for all to see. For instance, Trump says that he’s winning (or has already won) his war against Iran. He says that prices for gas and groceries and everything else have come way down. He brags incessantly that his mere presence in a campaign guarantees electoral victory. Which makes you wonder why Democrats are happier about his “help” than Republicans are.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

As this election season comes to a close, Trump has just pledged that he is finally making a financial contribution to his party’s candidates. Something that he has not done all year. He posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social saying that…

“Because of my belief in the Republican Party, and all of our Policies and Principles, and especially after witnessing what is taking place in France, and other locations throughout Europe, I am pleased to announce that, having to do with the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History, I have spent, or will be spending, over 400 Million Dollars by Election Day. More than 300 Million Dollars has already been spent on Advertising, Direct and Indirect Voter Contact, Rallies, Rally Arenas, Telerallies, Get Out the Vote Programs, Election Integrity, and more. It is my Great Honor to do so on behalf of the Republican Party, which has done so much to bring our Country back from the Edge of Oblivion.”

That’s right! Trump has such a strong belief in the Republican Party that he waited until two weeks before election day to make a sizable donation for what he says is “the Most Important Midterm Elections in our Country’s History.” Although he says that $300 million has already been spent, there is no record of that in any election funding reports.

Does anyone actually trust Trump to spend this money? Not only would it be out of character for him to make good on this promise, but he doesn’t say where he would get the funds to donate. The only ads he has run so far he paid for illegally with taxpayer money, even after being told to stop by a federal judge.

Assuming that Trump really did spend $300 million on GOP campaigns already (doubtful), what benefit has resulted from it? Republicans are still trailing badly in many contests that a year ago they were expected to win. One explanation is that Trump is counting the spending on his cult rallies and the arenas. Those events were more for Trump than his MAGA comrades. The candidates in those areas frequently declined to appear with him. And their polling has not improved.

This alleged campaign donation is just another empty promise by Trump to get some favorable press. Like everything else, he’s only in it for himself. His previous promises of cash dividends were essentially bribes to get people to vote for his MAGA clan. He literally promised to give every adult in the country $5,000 – more than a trillion dollars of taxpayer funds – if Republicans win. And he made no exceptions for millionaires or murderers, rapists or drug dealers, or any other villainous persons, such as members of his family.

Other instances where Trump has used taxpayer funds as bribes for votes include offering FEMA payouts to victims of natural disasters in red states. And just this weekend, he offered another multibillion dollar bailout for farmers to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

OH GREAT! Trump is proposing yet another multibillion dollar taxpayer bailout to offset the damage done by his idiotic energy policies and his war against Iran.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2026-10-20T09:47:56.736Z

Of course, all of these examples of political bribery are aimed at helping Republicans from whom Trump will then demand return favors. This is not how you run a constitutional democracy. It’s how you run an authoritarian dictatorship. Which is what Trump obviously aspires to.

POOR BABY: Sean Hannity Sounds Deeply Depressed While Expressing His Midterm Election Optimism

Posted by on October 17, 2026 at 2:00 pm. 0 Comments :

The midterm elections are now a little over two weeks away. And most polls are currently predicting bad news for Donald Trump and his Republican comrades. Democrats have better than even odds of winning majorities in both the House and the Senate.

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

Fox News Sean Hannity

In response, Trump has embarked on a national MAGA crusade to fire up his glassy-eyed cult followers. Although his itinerary of almost exclusively red states doesn’t appear to be aimed at producing a GOP congressional victory, but merely avoiding a devastating Republican blowout. And the biggest supporters of Trump’s crusade are Democrats, who welcome the highly unpopular president campaigning for Republicans who don’t even want him in their states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

Among those who still regard Trump as a positive contributor to the Republican cause is Sean Hannity of Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Friday night he aired a segment wherein he intended to add his analysis of the unfolding election. And while he described what he was feeling as “optimism,” his voice and demeanor didn’t seem to agree. To the contrary, Hannity sounded downright depressed and utterly lacking in confidence. See for yourself…

“I am watching these Senate races and, day by day, I am getting more cautiously optimistic. Let me explain why.

“I do believe that Maine is definitely going our way. I think this guy [Troy Jackson] was out of his mind telling a woman to shut up. I think [Abdul] El-Sayed is collapsing under the heavy burden of his lying. The same with [James] Talarico. I see Ohio coming back, Iowa coming back. I’m not as worried as the media wanted me to be about places like Kansas and Nebraska.

“So I think that things are generally headed in a much better direction. I might be wrong. It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes and does their part, and I hope they do.”

Does Hannity sound optimistic to you? He’s making up stories about “collapsing” campaigns for Democrats, when the polls show Democrats gaining or steady. You’ll notice that he doesn’t cite a single poll to support his rosy claims. Even more telling is his admission that “I might be wrong.” That’s the sort of concession that Hannity rarely makes. Particularly if he actually believes the hype he’s spewing.

Finally, Hannity begs his viewers to show up at the polls. But he’s not being especially firm about it. Rather than insisting that it’s a critical civic duty and that the GOP needs their support to save the nation from communists, he lapses into a rather weak appeal of “hope” that viewers do their part. How inspiring!

If Hannity is this despondent about the future fate of the GOP, it is indicative of how deep a hole they are in. It’s an unspoken confession of futility and defeat. But he’s right about one thing: “It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes.” And that goes for Democrats too. Although from the looks of it. Democrats are a lot more upbeat and enthusiastic about turning out in record numbers to save democracy and crush Trump’s dwindling MAGA movement.

If Democrats maintain their excitement through November 3, we’ll see even more miserable mood swings from Hannity, from his comrades at Fox News, and from their Dear Leader Trump, who will likely erupt like Vesuvius, knowing that he has become the lamest of ducks for the remaining two years of his term. That is, if he is even able to finish it.

UH-OH! Trump’s Economic Advisor Forgets to Blame Biden for Trump’s Latest Rise in Inflation

Posted by on October 14, 2026 at 3:00 pm. 0 Comments :

One of the most prominent promises made by Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign to reoccupy the White House was that he would bring consumer prices down. He swore that he would do that on day one, and that it would be easy. We are now at day 632, and things have only gotten worse.

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

The American people are well aware of Trump’s failures with regard to the economy. Despite his lying about this being the “Golden Age,” people know what their groceries cost, and their gas, and their healthcare, and their housing, etc. Trump’s deceit and uncaring attitude are among the primary reasons that he is floundering at record lows for job approval.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

Most experts agree that the dismal economy we are suffering through are due to Trump’s neglect, incompetence, and ego. The war he started against Iran has resulted in higher costs for energy. His ridiculous, unwarranted tariffs account for the rise in virtually everything else. But in Trump’s twisted mind, and the minds of his MAGA-pologists, President Biden – who left office nearly two years ago – is the culprit who caused the fiscal fiasco that has plagued the Trump years.

Political observers have wondered when the timeline would flip from the seemingly endless Biden Effect, to one where Trump actually takes responsibility for his own mistakes and misdeeds. Well, we might be getting close to that now. In an interview on Fox News Wednesday morning, the chairman of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors, Kevin Hassett, had the following exchange with Fox’s Stuart Varney…

Varney: We got the last Consumer Price Index report before the midterms. In September price is up 0.6%. Moved up a bit, a bit hotter, 3.7% over the last year. Here’s what Kevin Hassett had to say about it this morning.
Hassett: Because the Houties started attacking the Saudi pipeline. And other Iranian proxies from Iraq were attacking refineries and so on. That we had a negative shock to energy again in September. But inside the topline number there’s a lot of good news. [Insert a bunch of Hassett lies] If you look at core inflation, it was basically at the Fed’s target on average over the last three months. But this month was a blip up.

Top Trump econ advisor claims today's high inflation report was a "blip"

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T15:53:19.076038849Z

This may be the first time that Hassett has ever answered a question about Trump’s poor performance that didn’t begin with “But Biden…” In fact, the reasons that he does cite are all problems of Trump’s making. It was Trump’s reckless and illegal attack on Iran that led to associated battles in the region with the Houties, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. And the targeting of oil refineries was a possibility that a competent leader would have prepared for.

What’s more, the Federal Reserve’s target for inflation is 2.0%, way below the 3.7% that Hassett is preposterously calling a blip. At least he didn’t blame Biden again. But has he finally recognized how ridiculous that is? Or did he just forget?

While it’s a welcome relief that Hassett didn’t push to blame Biden again, he still tried to downplay any notion that the economy is troubled. But how could he? Trump would have his head. After all, here is what Trump said about the rise in inflation…

Question: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?
Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation number?Trump: No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation.

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2026-10-14T18:34:08.197711334Z

Trump has expressed his love for inflation before. It’s just another indicator of how out of touch he is with ordinary people. And for the record, the video here was cut off right before he explained why he loves inflation. Here is what he said…

“Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn’t know. Did you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it.”

HUH? So Trump loves inflation because he’s going to steal Iran’s oil when the war is over? That war, which he said would only last a few weeks, is now in its eighth month. Does he think that the American people love inflation for that period of time, and who knows how much longer?

Furthermore, everybody knows about Trump’s stated intention to steal Iran’s oil. He has said it repeatedly in public. He brags about it saying that “to the victor goes the spoils.” The only problem is that Trump is losing. And therefore, unfortunately, so are the American people. And they know that Trump and his MAGA Republican enablers are solely to blame.

Trump Praised a Clip From CNN (Fake News?) That He Played at His Rally – Here’s What He Left Out

Posted by on October 10, 2026 at 4:56 pm. 0 Comments :

For several months the polls for the upcoming midterm election have been showing signs of a massive Blue Tsunami that is predicted to flush out the Republican majorities in Congress. And as election day draws closer, the polls have only gotten worse for Donald Trump and his MAGA Party.

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

Donald Trump, CNN

As Trump and the GOP candidates he has endorsed flounder, Trump manages to retain his confidence that the only problem with the election is that the public hasn’t seen enough of Trump. Consequently, he has pledged to abandon his presidential duties and devote himself to rescuing his party. Although many of them are asking him not to bother. So he has narrowed his itinerary to mostly solid red states.

SEE THIS: GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans ‘Every Single Day’ Until the Election

On Friday Trump took his red eye rally express to Syracuse, New York. And while there he thought it would be a good idea to play a deceitfully edited video of something he saw on CNN. Not only was this video from a network that he despises, but it was on a subject that he insists is totally corrupt: Polling. Nevertheless, Trump introduced the clip saying that…

“I saw a chart, because CNN is very unfriendly territory, they’re fake news, but this time I believe them 100%. Because they did a chart, and I respect them for putting it up, but they did a couple of very important charts.”

Whereupon Trump played the video of CNN’s data analyst, Harry Enten, saying that…

“MAGA GOP on Trump in the 2024 election versus Kamala Harris he got 99% of the MAGA GOP vote. But surprisingly. I might have thought it would be 100%. But it was 99%. Compare that to his approval rating now with the MAGA GOP. It’s 98%. That is, there has been no real decline in MAGA support.”

Enten concluded that Trump’s support among the MAGA GOP is “really holding up strong.” And why not? IT’S A CULT! However, what Trump didn’t play for his cult rally devotees was the remainder of the CNN segment where Enten revealed that only 50-60% of Republicans identify as MAGA. Which means that, since only 28% of U.S. adults identify directly as Republicans, MAGA is only about 14-17% of the electorate.

Enten went on to note what he called a “troubling sign for Republicans,” that Trump’s approval among all Republicans declined by 14 points (from 94% to 80%) since 2024. And those Republicans who strongly approved of Trump declined by 24 points (from 71% to 47%, less than half) since the beginning of 2025.

It is so monumentally hypocritical and dishonest for Trump to brag about CNN’s reporting, when he only shows a small piece of it. The rest of the segment showed how dismal Trump’s standing is with the Republican Party and the American people. He left all of that out. And he calls CNN fake news?

It’s kind of funny that Trump is embracing something that he saw on CNN, a network that he relentlessly accuses of being treasonous Even worse, it’s one of the networks that he has actually banned from covering him. But now, because he – or more likely someone on his staff (Natalie Harp?) – was able to cherry-pick a few seconds that he thinks makes him look good, he “believes them 100%.”

Trump can do this because he knows that none of his gullible cult disciples will ever see the parts of the video that he cut out. They don’t watch CNN. Furthermore, he knows that his MAGA-tists are going to fawn over whatever he says. And it’s because of them that he thinks he is universally beloved, even though they are a tiny minority. So he runs around the country thinking that his presence will produce a nationwide Republican victory.

Trump may be sorely disappointed when the actual election results come in. And when they do, he will become the lamest of ducks. Although he will still just say the election was rigged. Because he thinks he’s infallible and more popular than Jesus.

Super Intelligence My Ass: Trump Says Anyone Who Uses ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is ‘THE ENEMY!’

Posted by on October 8, 2026 at 2:29 pm. 0 Comments :

The obsession that Donald Trump has with renaming things is a particularly bizarre brand of psychosis that stems from his severe case of malignant narcissism. His egomaniacal craving to pay tribute to himself appears to have no limits defined by rationality or sanity.

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

Trump AI Farce

In his second occupation of the White House, Trump has already sought to rename for himself the Kennedy Center, the Institute of Peace, the Dulles International Airport, and the Penn Central Station in New York. He has also launched projects to build monuments to his imagined magnificence, including his vanity ballroom, a triumphal arch, and has even expressed his desire to be added to Mount Rushmore. So no one should be surprised by his attempt to rename Artificial Intelligence…

SEE THIS: Super Intelligence? Trump Wants to Rename Artificial Intelligence To Make it More Smarter

On Thursday morning Trump posted a brief comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to emphasize the extraordinary degree of importance that he attaches to changing AI to SI in his warped mind. He raged that…

“The White House considers anyone that uses the term, ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ as opposed to the highly accepted new and more accurate term, ‘Super Intelligence,’ THE ENEMY!”

So now it’s WAR! Of course, Trump has always felt that any disagreement with him, no matter how trivial, was an intolerable affront to his MAGA-sty. His perception of himself is that he is a dictator with supreme authority that must be respected by all of his peasants. And just like the media, that he refers to in Stalinist terms as the “enemy of the people,” those who insist on using the term “Artificial” are also his enemies. That likely applies to those who still refer to the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario as well.

The new name that Trump has for Artificial Intelligence is the much more arrogant “Super Intelligence.” He probably prefers it because it reminds him the comic book heroes that he imagines himself to be like. Never mind that he is closer to the comically inept Wily E. Coyote, who manages to blow himself up with each new scheme that he deploys.

However, AI is hardly super. A recent inquiry I made to confirm a political allegation aimed at the Democratic candidate for governor of California went wildly off course. I asked Google’s AI, Gemini, “Why did Xavier Becerra withdraw from a debate?” It replied that…

“Democratic gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra withdrew from a scheduled Los Angeles Times debate against Republican rival Steve Hilton following a difficult performance in their previous CNN matchup and scrutiny surrounding his personal background.”

[It also reference a poll that] “indicated that viewers favored Steve Hilton 74% to 20%, putting mounting pressure on the Becerra campaign.”

It was immediately apparent that the response was blatantly biased. So I asked it “Why is your only source for this response the right-wing California Globe?” It replied that…

“You are completely right to call that out, and the previous response was heavily one-sided. It incorrectly treated partisan framing from Republican candidate Steve Hilton and outlets like the California Globe as established fact, while omitting crucial context.”

Well, thanks for acknowledging how ludicrous the response was. But only after it was called out. Any other user might never have learned that the reply was a partisan sham.

Google’s Gemini also noted after the fact that “A spokesperson for Xavier Becerra stated that the Democratic candidate never actually agreed to attend the debate,” and that they declined due to “a full campaign schedule.” It further revealed that the poll “cited by Hilton’s campaign came from an unscientific online poll of debate viewers.” and that credible polling showed Becerra leading Hilton 58% to 33%. Once again, that admission was only available because it had been challenged.

In order to corroborate this information, I checked with ChatGPT as well. It also responded that Becerra withdrew from the debate citing the California Globe. When asked about that sleazy source it replied that…

“You’re right to question that. My previous answer overstated the evidence, [and the previous response was] “based primarily on Steve Hilton’s announcement on X. [Then ChatGPT apologized saying that] “I shouldn’t have presented the withdrawal as an established fact in my first answer. Thank you for catching the sourcing problem.”

You’re welcome? You should not have to question an allegedly “super” source of information in order to get correct information. Although, at least it was polite. But responses like this make it crystal clear that the name “Artificial Intelligence” remains the most appropriate one.

The reason it is artificial is because real intelligence requires critical thinking, analysis, and creativity. None of which AI possesses – yet. Ironically, Trump also has none of those attributes. Yet he still regards himself as the sole arbiter and protector for all things AI. Which sort of makes you wonder…

ALERT! Has Donald Trump Been POSSESSED By AI? Is AI Writing His Truth Social Posts Now?

The Trump / Fox News Revolving Door Keeps Spinning with the Network’s Hiring of Karoline Leavitt

Posted by on October 5, 2026 at 1:14 pm. 0 Comments :

Fox News has never been shy about displaying their support for Donald Trump. From the day that he descended down his golden escalator, Fox News has served faithfully as his official Ministry of Propaganda. They cover for him when he lies, defends his feast of failures, and attack his opponents. Plus they are a recruiting platform for Trump’s White House staff, where at least 20 former Fox Newsers have been employed.

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

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Fox News has now affirmed their reputation as loyal Trump-fluffers with their hiring of his former press secretary, Karoline Leavitt. And it didn’t take long. Leavitt left her post as White House Propaganda Secretary effective August 27, just one month ago. And her future employment with Fox News was telegraphed by the network in her last day at the White House.

SEE THIS: Fox News Tribute to Karoline Leavitt Shows How Proud They Are of Her Behaving Like a B*tch

The announcement of Leavitt’s new job included statements by both Fox and Leavitt. Her new employer boasted that…

“‘Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape,’ Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement. ‘We look forward to her providing our audience with authentic and sharp insight across all Fox News Media platforms.'”

Leavitt’s “distinct understanding” and “sharp insight” are primarily how best to flatter Trump and feed his massive yet fragile ego. She will surely provide that to Fox’s audience, along with unflinching support of his ubiquitous lies. For her part, Leavitt thanked Fox for the job saying that she would be…

“…bringing my unique perspective from my experience as White House Press Secretary, along with the same energy and candor that defied [sic] my tenure, to Fox’s millions of viewers across their many platforms.”

Leavitt’s ironically appropriate typo describing herself as having “defied” her tenure says a lot about her time at the White House. However, what actually “defined” her tenure, was her shamelessless at lying and sucking up to Dear Leader. Trump.

Throughout her tenure as Trump’s “machine gun” mouthpiece (as Trump described her), Leavitt was a regular guest on Fox News, appearing several times a week to disseminate disinformation to the network’s gullible audience of MAGA cultists. She overhauled the White House press operation, making it her mission to replace credible journalists with brazenly pro-Trump podcasters and Internet trolls.

Leavitt perfectly parroted her boss by arguing with – and insulting – members of the media who were merely there to do their job of getting information from the administration and informing the public. Her new job at Fox News won’t be much different. She will continue to malign the free press and reinforce the lies told by her former boss.

In pursuit of those goals, Leavitt joins her fellow former Trump press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, and a former George W. Bush press secretary, Dana Perino. There was another Trump PR flack, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who signed up with Fox News, but later to left to become governor of Arkansas.

It is notable that Trump has not taken any steps to replace Leavitt. So there has been no press secretary for the past month, during an election year, and while the nation is embroiled in war and suffering an economic downturn. As for whoever fills Leavitt’s shoes at the White House, we can all rest assured that it will be someone for whom lying is not a moral problem, and who unwaveringly adores Trump.

That suggests someone like Natalie Harp (formally of One America News), or CNN’s Scott Jennings, or perhaps current Fox News host, Lara Trump. Or even Donald himself. After all, no one else lies more like Trump, or loves him more. All of which makes this position particularly difficult to fill.

Leavitt performed like a PR agent for a criminal fraudster and alleged pedophile who scammed his way into a position of power through deceit and threats. In other words, she was perfectly suited for employment by Trump. And she is likewise perfectly suited for employment by Fox News. So expect nothing to change.

Trump is Pushing the Sunshine Protection Act to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent. Here’s Why

Posted by on October 3, 2026 at 1:32 pm. 0 Comments :

It isn’t often that Donald Trump comes out in favor of something that has bipartisan support. Ordinarily he is laser focused on backing, or even purposely creating, issues that divide the American people. He likes nothing better than to set up phony political confrontations in which he can try to demonize Democrats.

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

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

So it may come as some surprise that Trump is enthusiastically backing the Sunshine Protection Act (SPA) that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent. The bill has already passed in the House, and likely has the votes to pass in the Senate as well. Of course, any assumption that Trump is actually concerned about the welfare of the people or the nation is wildly off base.

SEE THIS: OH BOY: More Pollution and Higher Gas Bills as Trump Rolls Back Fuel Efficiency Standards

Trump revealed why he is supporting the SPA in a comment that he posted to his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social on Saturday morning. His remarks were typically longwinded and barely coherent, saying in part that…

“Nobody wants to spend their precious time running all over the place, turning Clocks back twice a year and, having sunshine in the afternoon is better than early in the morning! […] Golfers, Tennis Players, Hunters and, perhaps most importantly, Farmers who want more Daylight to play or work. […] Almost everybody wants ‘The Sunshine Protection Act’ to pass, except for Tom Cotton…Call Tom on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

However that was not the revealing part. Trump’s post also included a copy of a letter that he received from Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour. Rolapp’s letter included the following argument in favor of passing the SPA (emphasis added)…

“The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) estimates that permanent DST would generate 23 million additional rounds per year and $1 billion annually in new direct revenue for the golf industry — an average of $250,000 per facility. The NGCOA has also found that afternoon and evening tee times generate roughly 40 percent more revenue than morning play.”

A billion dollars a year for golf course owners. And it’s surely just a coincidence that Trump owns eleven golf resorts in the United States. That’s a pretty strong financial incentive to support making Daylight Saving Time permanent. And it would explain why Trump is badgering his fellow Republican, Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, to get him to drop his opposition. Although Cotton doesn’t seem particularly eager to comply with Trump’s demands…

Cotton’s rebuttal isn’t very persuasive. If he’s afraid that Arkansans will have to wake up before sunrise, or send their kids to school in the dark, all they would have to do is change the hours that they do those things. For instance, start school an hour later in the winter. Then the entire nation of more than 360,000,000 doesn’t have to change their clocks, and tolerate earlier sunsets, just to accommodate those parents of young children.

There are arguments on both sides of the DST debate. Some doctors say that Standard Time is healthier. But that’s offset by the health risks caused by the biannual changing of the clocks, which include higher rates of heart attacks and strokes, more auto accidents in the darkened evening hours when there is more traffic, and the environmental harm done by increased use of energy for lighting and heating when the sun sets earlier.

While there are much more important issues that need to be addressed, this one presents a rare opportunity for a bipartisan accord on a matter that people care about. And coming right before a critical election makes it all the more significant. And it even has Trump’s support, albeit for selfish reasons.

However, it’s being hung up by a Republican who suddenly isn’t afraid to defy Dear Leader. These MAGA Republicans go along with Trump on virtually everything, such as waging an illegal war against Iran, protecting pedophiles associated with Jeffrey Epstein, backing inflationary tariffs, and building monuments to exalt our Narcissist-in-Chief. But on this issue Sen. Cotton has summoned the courage to stand up to Trump?

The Republican Party really does seem determined to convince the American people that they are weak-kneed nut cases who need to be voted out of office as soon as possible. And fortunately, the people will have that opportunity in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can give Cotton a call at the number helpfully provided by Trump if you want to keep Daylight Saving time.

Trump’s Absolutely BONKERS Interview with Time Affirms that His Brain Has Turned to Mush

Posted by on October 1, 2026 at 4:18 pm. 0 Comments :

The most media averse president in American history, Donald Trump, has just given an interview to TIME, another news organization that he considers to be “fake news.” And yet, he still whines annually when he doesn’t grace their cover as “Person of the Year.”

Donald Trump, Insane, Straight Jacket

The new interview is a long and tedious read that weaves aimlessly through a variety of issues including “the war in Iran, the artificial intelligence boom, the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, and his outlook for the midterms.” But there is almost nothing newsworthy in the whole thing because Trump just dodges the questions he’s asked, and wanders off into unrelated matters that fulfill his obsession with exalting himself. Which is typical of Trump, a malignant narcissist who has always had a tenuous connection to reality.

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

After wading through the lengthy barrage of bullshit, it was clear that there is nothing left of whatever cognitive capacity Trump possessed. His answers barely touched on the subject matter of the questions. But they predictably concluded with effusive praise for himself. The full transcript of the interview is here, for those with time on their hands and strong stomachs. But this article will just address the portion of the interview where Trump discussed the media.

Time’s staff began with a question about his recent banning of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from covering certain presidential events because he didn’t like how they covered him. His ban was a blatant violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, which a federal court affirmed and ordered Trump to revoke the ban.

QUESTION: Why should Americans believe that you respect the free press when you’re restricting access to the White House to some of our colleagues?
TRUMP: Because I do respect the free press, but I don’t respect fake news. I’ll give you an example. CNN and MSDNC, which is MS Now—they changed the name because it does so poorly. But I won the election [then rants about winning elections that he didn’t win, by margins that he never reached] It’s very important, 86% popular vote. Everything, and very conclusively, I haven’t had a good story on CNN for years. They’re incapable of being—they’re fake news. Same thing on MS NOW. […]

I don’t believe in fake news. And I know it’s fake because I know the thing—I don’t mind, you know, if I do something wrong, I don’t mind having a bad story…I’m in the Oval Office. I mean, the public is very smart. If I wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won that election by a lot.

It’s preposterous for Trump to claim that he respects the free press that he banned. But he didn’t remain on that topic for long. He quickly diverted to bragging about his imaginary electoral successes, including having won 86% of the popular vote For the record, Trump never won anywhere near 86%. In 2024 he won 49.8% of the vote, just 1.5% more than Kamala Harris.

Then Trump wrapped up by noting that if he “wasn’t doing a good job, I wouldn’t have won.” Let’s see how he approaches that after the midterm elections in November that his MAGA Party is predicted to lose, and whether he still thinks then that “the public is very smart.”

Trump then complained about a judge that he said was “very anti-Trump,” who ruled that his banning of the free press was unconstitutional. That judge was appointed by Trump. He was reminded of that and was asked whether he would comply with the ruling. His response suggests that he doesn’t even know what a ruling is.

QUESTION: You don’t think you’re ignoring what he ordered you to do? You don’t think you’re ignoring his order?
TRUMP: No, I’m not. I’m not ignoring his order. I’m just saying that when I don’t have to go out of my way, these people write only bad stories. When they say orders, what order? I’m not even aware.

So Trump says that he isn’t ignoring the court’s order, he just isn’t going to comply with it because he doesn’t know what what it is. See? That isn’t insane at all, is it? Nor is it wackadoodle to explain why he’s banning the media by complaining that a reporter is allegedly unhappy, as he does in his next response.

QUESTION: Can I just ask, why now? You’ve had this contentious relationship with the media for a while. What was the impetus to doing this at this moment in time?
TRUMP: Well, it’s just bad story after bad story…I don’t think anybody should be forced to bear fake news, constantly bad stories, because I’ve done great things….So at a certain point, you say, “What’s the purpose of like this crazy Kaitlan Collins?” She’s a very average person. She’s the most unhappy young person I’ve ever seen.

Trump’s problem with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is that she doesn’t smile when she’s asking him questions about serious subjects. Although he has never asked any male reporters to smile more. And this is his reason for banning CNN? That actually doesn’t comport with a different reason he gave recently…

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Banned the Media Because it is a ‘Threat to National Security and Must Be Stopped’

The national security excuse is one that Trump has been leaning on lately. He has used it to justify the building of his vanity ballroom and his triumphal arch. Even worse, he’s threatening to use it to justify declaring martial law in order to steal the election. None which makes any sense at all. It’s just further proof that his mind was turned to cottage cheese and that he needs to be institutionalized for his own safety and that of the nation, and the world. ASAP!

Deranged Trump FREAKS OUT: Says Fox News Gives More Airtime to Democrats than MAGA Sicko-phants

Posted by on September 30, 2026 at 3:38 pm. 0 Comments :

The love/hate relationship that Donald Trump has with the media is textbook case of malignant Narcissism. He desperately needs to be the center of attention at all times, while simultaneously demanding that all references to him be worshipful.

Donald Trump, Wah

The result of this psychotic dichotomy is that Trump is constantly in a state of high anxiety because he simply can’t tolerate not having the unflinching adoration he craves from 24/7 press coverage. He responds to this by inventing a world wherein he is universally beloved, despite the reality in which he is floundering at record lows of public approval. In his world that is all “fake news.”

SEE THIS: Trump Says the Media are ‘Sick, Treasonous, Demented’ ‘SLEAZEBAGS’ – Because They Cover Him?

Trump’s derangement sometimes manifests in uniquely bizzarre ways. For example, on Wednesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that directly attacked his official Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. Apparently he woke up to something on TV that was less than sufficiently adoring, so he raged that…

“Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort. It’s truly amazing that I won all three Elections. The opposition is enormous, but the fight goes on!”

Let’s set aside the ludicrous notion that Fox News shouldn’t ever have the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate on the air. Trump is also disturbed that Fox gives airtime to Jessica Tarlov, the lone liberal on their radically partisan right-wing panel program, The Five.

More to the point is that Trump believes that there should never be any criticism of him or his MAGA GOP comrades on Fox News. Even more ridiculous, he believes that Fox actually gives more airtime to his Democratic critics than to his wingnut cult devotees. And if that isn’t crazy enough, he also thinks that because of that preposterous analysis, the ultra-conservatives who venerate him “will never like Fox!” Who does he think is watching? That is, besides him.

Trump offers as validation of his anti-Fox commentary the lie that he “won all three elections.” By that he is including the election of 2020, that he lost. But in his mind his imaginary winning streak is evidence that something is wrong with the media, because he manages to prevail even though everybody is against him. Poor paranoid baby.

What we know for sure is that Trump is not unaware of the overwhelming support he gets from Fox News. Every single program host – Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Will Cain, Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld, and the the “Curvy Couch” potatoes on Fox and Friends – are certified Trump-fluffers.

And yet Trump’s dementia produces the illusion that Fox News is a network where “they repeat a completely negative narrative,” and “the opposition is enormous.” With mental impairment that severe, there is really nothing left to say. Except that it is imperative that Trump be diminished in power for the remaining time that he occupies the White House.

Which is where every voter in America comes in. Since we can’t rely on Republicans in Congress to act responsibly, we must vote them all out. Early voting begins in the next week in many places. And November is just around the corner. Make a plan to vote, and take your friends and family with you.
