Sean Hannity Unloads a Laughably Lame Defense of Nepo-Sister Darline Graham Nordone

Posted by on August 20, 2026 at 3:32 pm. 0 Comments :

The fight for majority control of the Senate is getting more intense with each passing day. And while the Democratic prospects are improving, Republicans are becoming more desperate and driven by panic. Recent projections show that a Democratic Senate majority is the more likely outcome in November.

Fox News Sean Hannity

These projections are driving Republicans crazy – or crazier. They are resorting to bizarre campaign themes that reanimate the “red scare” tactics of the 1950s when fear mongering about communists around every corner was popular with the GOP. And it gets even worse than that on Donald Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, aka Fox News…

SEE THIS: Fox News is OUTRAGED that Democrats are So Good Looking – No, REALLY!

Wednesday night’s episode of Sean Hannity’s program featured a segment wherein Hannity brought in the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate in South Carolina, Darline Graham Nordone, sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. She was fresh off of a humiliating debate performance with her Republican primary opponent, Rep. Ralph Norman, where she was asked a straightforward question about U.S. policy toward Taiwan and babbled that…

“I’m not that informed on national security…so…but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. I’m not a polished politician up here. National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise.”

Okay then. National security isn’t her thing. It isn’t Trump’s thing either, and look at how well that’s turned out. But her problem isn’t that she’s unpolished. It’s that she’s uninformed. And the fact that her family has served in the military doesn’t mean that she has absorbed their knowledge telepathically. Despite what Hannity thinks…

Hannity: I bet based on all your time with your brother, that you know probably everything about the Middle East because he went on one trip after another to every country in the Middle East. And I know you know a lot about Europe and the Ukraine-Russia situation because he went to Ukraine more than any other senator. […]
Graham Nordone: Absolutely. I know national security is important. We have a wonderful commander in chief.

SERIOUSLY? Graham Nordone agrees “absolutely” with Hannity that she knows “everything about the Middle East” and Europe and Ukraine, because her brother had been there. That’s a pretty low bar. And judging by her remarks, she doesn’t even get over that.

Graham Nordone addressed a few other other subjects during this interview. For instance, she said that she’s concerned about what voters in South Carolina are concerned about, and that “They’re concerned about boys in girls’ sports.” Yeah, that’s probably number one on their priority list. Never mind the war in Iran, or how they are struggling to pay for groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, etc.

She also said that she wants to serve the 50 million people in South Carolina, where there are actually only 5.4 million people. And she opposes DEI, despite being an appointed sister of a senator, who has zero relevant knowledge or experience. And she supports Trump’s “Save America Act” (aka Voter Suppression Act). Even though, if it were passed, she wouldn’t be allowed to vote without jumping through some legal hoops because her legal married name doesn’t match the name on her birth certificate.

There is a runoff for the Republican nomination for this seat next week, where she is facing Rep. Norman. If she makes it past that, she will face the Democratic nominee, Dr. Annie Andrews, a truly impressive and qualified candidate who deserves your support. Although she doesn’t appear to have any siblings from whom she could magically divine knowledge. So Hannity and his ilk might consider that a drawback.

UM…NOPE: Karoline Leavitt Tells Fox News ‘When Trump Says He’ll Do Something, He’ll Do It’

Posted by on April 21, 2026 at 2:06 pm. 1 Comments :

Before Donald Trump ran for president, he had a regular weekly segment on Fox News that was called “Mondays With Trump” wherein he phoned in an interview with the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends. It served as a promotional vehicle and free campaign ad from 2011 until he came down his golden escalator in 2015.

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

Today Trump continues to appear regularly on Fox News, his official Ministry of Propaganda. But that’s not all. His daughter-in-lawlessness, Lara Trump, has her own weekend show. His Cabinet members are on Fox’s air daily. And his Propaganda Secretary has a recurring spot on Sean Hannity’s program that he calls the “Hannity Washington Briefing” featuring Karoline Leavitt. From the start of Trump’s re-occupation of the White House, Leavitt has made Fox News her home away from home.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Anti-Press Secretary Talks More to Fox News than to Reporters in the White House

On Monday evening Leavitt was on duty with Hannity where she made some of her routinely ridiculous remarks intended to fluff her boss. She began by complaining about the media observing that “the United States is in a worse off position than we were at the start” of the Iran war. That’s objectively true considering that 13 American troops were killed, more than 400 injured, and thousands of Iranian civilians have died. What’s more, the Strait of Hormuz, which was open before the war, remains closed causing severe product shortages and price increases around the world.

But Leavitt was just getting started. She went on to invent a profile of Trump’s alleged leadership (huh?) and steadiness (whut?), saying that…

“Trump has been the steady leader our country needs throughout this entire endeavor and again, thanks to the success of this entire military operation and his hardline negotiating style, we’re on the brink of a deal. […]

“President Trump has proven before he does not bluff. When he makes a promise, he follows through on it. And I’m not sure why after 10 years of covering this president, the American media still cannot understand when President Trump says he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it.”

The ability to see leadership, and especially steadiness, in Trump requires a massive dose of cult programming. But more to the point, one thing that Trump is well known for is not doing what he says he’s going to do. It’s such a common flaw that it has its own acronym: TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. And if you need some more proof, there’s this…

As for Trump’s war against Iran, he has claimed to be “on the brink of a deal” too many times to count. But no deal has emerged. To the contrary, the latest news is that the peace talks have completely broken down.

Even worse, Trump has promised to annihilate everyone in the country if their leaders didn’t submit to his demands. He threatened that “A whole civilization will die” if the Hormuz Strait weren’t opened. He also raged that they must “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.” And yet, it seems that every other day Trump is either celebrating that an incredible deal has been reached, or is issuing new deranged threats.

If that is what Leavitt thinks is leadership and steadiness, I don’t ever want know what she thinks being weak and fickle are. Because to every other conscious observer the strength that Trump projects is the human personification of creamed corn.

Sean Hannity Drools Over Insane Trump Proposal to Give Everyone in Greenland $100,000

Posted by on January 20, 2026 at 1:41 pm. NO Comments :

The Sycophancy Meter for devotees of Donald Trump routinely registers at the highest levels that it is capable of reporting. His cult members are entirely devoid of any measure of shame or self respect when it comes to affirming their unflinching adoration of Dear Leader.

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

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

Consistent with most cults, Trump’s is characterized by his painfully obvious psychological and emotional abnormalities. He is paranoid, petulant, rage-filled, malignant narcissist, with a tenuous grasp on reality. It is a profile that he shares with the likes of Jim Jones. Although a notable difference between Jones and Trump is that Trump would have charged his flock for the Kool Aid. Like Jones, however, Trump demands an unwavering faith in his infallibility, and eternal loyalty.

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

In a demonstration of his unreserved reverence for Trump, Sean Hannity of Fox News led a segment on his program with MAGA Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri. The two discussed Trump’s ludicrous intentions to annex Greenland against the will of it’s citizens, with force if necessary, and despite the opposition of America’s allies in the European Union and NATO. In his fawning display of idolization, Hannity gushed that…

“Donald Trump’s forever in a state of negotiation. Everything’s negotiable. A $100,000 offer for every person in Greenland – on average making 60 grand a year – Denmark’s not exactly been generous to them. They don’t have the ability to help them take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland. We do…Seems like a no-brainer to me.”

Indeed. It would require having no brains to give Trump’s proposal even the slightest bit of serious consideration. Hannity’s praise of Trump for his alleged negotiating prowess is just more of the mythology that he is a great dealmaker. Never minds his numerous bankruptcies and multiple civil and criminal judgments for fraud. And don’t bother looking up the real author of his book, “The Art of the Deal.”

Hannity’s contention that for Trump “Everything’s negotiable,” is hardly a compliment. It highlights Trump’s ethical vacancy wherein he would negotiate away his mother’s dentures for a McDonalds Happy Meal for himself, or an award trophy that he didn’t earn. And he would make (and has made) the same awful deals with American principles.

The specific deal that Hannity is referencing involves Trump’s proposal to pay every resident of Greenland $100,000 in exchange for surrendering their sovereignty. Which just proves that Trump can put a price tag on anything, including honor, virtue, and patriotism. And if he would do that to Greenlanders, he would it to Americans.

What’s more, Hannity is exhibiting his own lack of moral character by lauding Trump’s shallowness and greed as virtuous. Hannity is also flaunting his ignorance by asserting that Denmark has not been “generous” to the Greenlanders. Does Hannity think that Trump would allow them to continue to receive free healthcare, education, and extended parental leave and vacation? Would they give up all of those lifetime benefits for a one-time handout?

As for their ability to “take their natural resources to the next level and enrich every person in Greenland,” maybe they don’t crave such materialism the way Trump does. Maybe they prefer the quality of life they have that regularly ranks Denmark as one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Finally, What would America get for the billions it would cost to compensate Greenland? It would just be another expenditure by Trump that only benefits him and his wealthy comrades, but ignores how the American people are struggling. All in all, a truly horrible deal. Which is exactly the kind that Trump specializes in. And neither Greenlanders nor Americans should take him up on it.

Sean Hannity of Fox News Makes a Darn Good Case Against Trump and His Racist White Nationalism

Posted by on December 9, 2025 at 1:29 pm. NO Comments :

It was just a matter of time. Donald Trump has been expressing his virulent brand of bigotry for decades. His blatant prejudice is one of the most compelling factors for his popularity among his MAGA disciples who share his inbred hatred for people of color and non-European immigrants. So no one should be surprised that his media mouthpieces are parroting his reprehensible rhetoric.

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

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump has long disparaged immigrants who come from what he calls “shithole” countries. And this week he has made a point of maligning American citizens who migrated from Somali, calling them all criminals and pledging to have them them thrown out of the country. In fact, he says he is terminating all immigration from third world countries and reviewing the status of those currently in the U.S.

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

On Monday’s episode of his radio program, Sean Hannity of Fox News weighed in on this subject. Although he intended to praise Dear Leader Trump, the actual content of his monologue was ironically critical. Hannity began by saying that…

“I’m not going to get in the gutter with some people and what they’re saying. The left is insane enough. But when I hear and listen to some people that claim to be MAGA and Trump supporters and the things that they utter are so insane.”

Well then. That’s actually a pretty rational assessment of the MAGA community. You have to wonder what took Hannity so long to notice it. However, as he continued he seemed to lose the plot. In a series of comments intended to exalt Trump, Hannity actually provided opportunities to expose the vile racism that has been such a prominent part of his character, or lack thereof. What follows are Hannity’s observations with relevant annotations.

“If you hear somebody that’s racist, that’s probably a good indication that they’re not worth your time.”
In Trump’s mind if you are a Black critic of Trump you are automatically a low IQ racist. That includes Kamala, Harris, Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Don Lemon, LeBron James, etc.

“If somebody’s a white nationalist, they’re probably not worth your time.”
Remember Trump’s support for “the very fine people on both sides” of the white nationalist protest in Charlottesville?

“If they praise Adolf Hitler, they’re probably not somebody that’s worth your time.”
Trump famously kept a book of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside, and he told members of his White House staff that “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

“If they have a virulent anti-Semitic hatred, they’re probably not worth listening to.”
During the New York City mayoral race, Trump whined that “Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani…is a stupid person!!!”

Hannity went on to complain about the MAGA minions who “have bizarre conspiracy theories” or are just “pure character assassins.” That doesn’t narrow it down very much. It’s pretty much all of them. And that’s particularly true with regard to his MAGA-sty himself, Donald Trump.

However, while Hannity appears to be on the verge of actually getting it, don’t expect too much of him. He’s a fully indoctrinated MAGA-tist and isn’t likely to see the light. He doesn’t even know that he’s shining the light on Trump’s racism. Or, for that matter, his own.

Trump Whines that ‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’ and Decrees That ‘They’re Not Allowed To Do That’

Posted by on September 18, 2025 at 2:41 pm. 1 Comments :

For the past few years Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have belittled Democrats and liberals as “snowflakes” who were unable to tolerate a little criticism from their right-wing adversaries. The GOP sought to uplift themselves as models of manliness with spines of steel who could not be shaken by mere words or name-calling. This became a core symbol of their prideful self image.

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

Donald Trump, Snowflakes

In reality, there has been no one who has acted out more as a cowardly victim than Trump. He shrinks before the slightest scent of disapproval. He lashes out frantically in response to mildly negative remarks. And he employs howitzers to defend himself from house flies.

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

In the wake of the Charlie Kirk shooting, much of the MAGA movement has complained that any criticism aimed at Kirk was tantamount to sacrilege. They insisted that it was insufficient to condemn all political violence, you must also kneel worshipfully before the fallen conservative organizer, even if his words and actions were blatantly offensive.

This canonization of Kirk has led to the vilification of anyone who fails to exhibit anything other than pure reverence. As a result, liberal critic like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel have suffered the wrath of the right and the punishment – as Jesse Watters of Fox News says – of being “thrown out of polite society.”

This week Kimmel was suspended from his program on ABC by the overlords at Disney. And their justification was that he had crossed a line of decency with regard to Kirk. That never actually happened, but the excuse was deployed anyway. Now however, Trump himself has shown that excuse to be a convenient lie. He told reporters that…

“Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else. And he said a horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk…And they should’ve fired him a long time ago. So you can call that free speech or not.”

Is Trump even capable of not lying?1?? Jimmy Kimmel was not fired. His show was suspended.2?? He doesn't have bad ratings. He's 2nd to Stephen Colbert.3?? He didn't say "a horrible thing" about Charlie Kirk. He was talking about the MAGA response.4?? It is definitely about free speech.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-18T17:04:38.870Z

Oh. so according to Trump it was ratings that got Kimmel suspended – not fired (yet). Of course, none of what trump said was true. But that’s not exactly news. Later, on Air Force One, Trump elaborated on his views of Kimmel’s situation saying that…

“When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that. They’re an arm of the Democrat Party.”

Trump: You have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump. They're not allowed to do that

— FactPost (@factpostnews.bsky.social) 2025-09-18T18:48:25.776920526Z

So now the reasoning behind Kimmel’s ouster is because Trump’s feelings have been hurt by all that darn criticism he inspires. What’s worse, Trump says explicitly that “They’re not allowed to do that.” You have to wonder under what set of rules he is playing by if disagreement, criticism, and mockery, are not allowed. Certainly not those spelled out in the Constitution.

True to form, Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – comes to his defense. Fox’s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Sean Hannity did a segment Wednesday night wherein he claimed that, “I can’t find a single prominent conservative voice in the country that even remotely wanted, or hoped, or was pushing to get Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air.” Really? Not even Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr and GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson. And of course Hannity’s BFF…

Sean Hannity predictably lying that no "prominent conservative" pushed for Jimmy Kimmel to be taken off the air.So Trump isn't a prominent conservative? In July he said "Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go…It’s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!"

Ted Cruz Tries to Smear Democrats for the ‘Most Egregious Gerrymanders’ but Fails Egregiously

Posted by on August 21, 2025 at 2:28 pm. NO Comments :

California Governor Gavin Newsom has been engaged in a fierce battle with Republicans who are plotting to steal the upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028. The GOP is scheming to rig the elections by imposing an unprecedented and unconstitutional mid-census redistricting in Texas and other red states at the behest of Donald Trump.

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

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

To counter those moves by the GOP, Newsom is proposing that blue states like California do the same, unless the Republicans back off. In response to Newsom’s efforts, Republicans have tried to justify their election rigging by accusing Democrats of what the GOP is doing. It’s a wholly disingenuous argument coming from the people who started this redistricting war.

SEE THIS: Gavin Newsom Floats Redistricting in California to Counteract the Texas Plan to Gerrymander

Among the Republicans who are trying to blame Democrats for the current political posturing is Texas senator Ted Cruz, who has made political posturing an art form. He posted a question on Twitter/X for Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, asking it to “Examine states with six or more congressional seats. Compile a list of the five most egregious gerrymanders.” Grok replied that it was both parties with Democrats being three out of the five…

That response didn’t really affirm that Democrats were more nefarious gerrymanderers, as Cruz had hoped. But neither was it a vindication of either party. So it seemed like it would be a good idea to expand the list beyond merely five states. And that produced a very different result…

The longer list shows that Republicans were the most egregious gerrymanderers in seven out of the top ten states. So Cruz was either deliberately distorting the results by limiting his question to five states, or he simply didn’t care to get a broader, more accurate view.

That’s typical of the modern, MAGA-infested Republican Party. They are purposefully seeking to deceive voters because they know that the truth will reflect badly on them. As Stephen Colbert once observed, “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

This was confirmed last night by Fox News hack Sean Hannity, who complained about Newsom “spen[ding] the last several weeks bashing president Trump over the Texas redistricting fight while threatening to gerrymander his own state even more.” Hannity pretended to be concerned about whether this was helping or hurting Democrats. He concluded that it was hurting Newsom, despite polls showing Newsom’s approval rating surging since he began his redistricting fight and his hilarious, all-caps mockery of Trump’s Truth Social posts.

For good measure, Hannity also offered up his opinion of Newsom’s recent, more aggressive politicking. He criticized Newsom saying that his “performative confrontational style—maybe it wins you points with the loony radical base in your party but America is not going to vote for that record.” Does that description sound like anyone else you know?

The Trump Regime’s Post-Iran Bombing Propaganda Party is a Sputtering Dud

Posted by on June 22, 2025 at 3:06 pm. NO Comments :

The morning after Donald Trump ordered a bombing raid on Iran, his political troops on the domestic front fanned out to declare war on the truth, and the trust of the American people, with a campaign of propaganda to justify his unconstitutional commencement of yet another war in the Middle East that the American people oppose.

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

Donald Trump Circling the Drain

Concerned that the world wasn’t already suffering sufficient measures of tumult, Trump concluded that it was time to manufacture a new catastrophe to take some of the heat off of those he has already presided over in the first five months of his re-occupation of the White House. Particularly considering that his approval rating has been in free fall since his inauguration.

SEE THIS: As the World Burns: Trump Whines that ‘MAGA HATES Fox News’ After New Poll Shows Him Floundering

Consequently, Trump set his focus on glorifying himself As America’s War-Monger-in-Chief. Did he seek to confer with his political colleagues in Congress, or with America’s international allies? Apparently not. It appears that among the first things he did was to place a call to his shadow Chief of Staff, Sean Hannity of Fox News. Just an hour after he announced the mission to Iran, Trump was divulging details of his Iranian adventure to Hannity. Which is especially notable because he hadn’t even alerted members of the congressional Gang of Eight prior to the attack. Well, at least not the Democratic members.

An hour after Trump launched his illegal war against Iran, he was talking to – Sean Hannity of Fox News?Also, Trump told GOP members of the congressional Gang of 8 prior to the attack, but not the Democratic members. He is politicizing war! #ImpeachTrumpNOW www.mediaite.com/media/tv/i-j…

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T10:17:19.132Z

Trump also dispatched his Vice-President, JD Vance, to tell the press that the situation in Iran was so awful because of the “dumb presidents” in office for the past 25 years. Who wants to tell him that that includes his boss, Donald Trump, who was the one who was dumb enough to cancel the U.S. agreement with Iran that prohibited them from developing nuclear weapons, and mandated regular inspections?

JD Vance: "Trump's war in the Middle East is different than in the past 25 years because "back then we had dumb presidents."You mean like Trump, who was president 4 of those years? And of the 3 other presidents during that time – Bush, Obama, Biden – Trump is unquestionably the dumbest.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-06-22T17:09:41.226Z

Also called up for duty was Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine. He promptly contradicted Trump’s glowing characterization of the success of the mission as having “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Gen. Caine had a different view of the Battle Damage Assessment (BDA).

Trump himself made time to post some comments on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, complimenting himself and chastising his foes. For instance, after claiming that he was enjoying “Great unity in the Republican Party,” he posted a long, rambling diatribe attacking fellow Republican Thomas Massie, saying that he is…

“…not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is. Actually, MAGA doesn’t want him, doesn’t know him, and doesn’t respect him. He is a negative force who almost always Votes ‘NO,’ no matter how good something may be. He’s a simple minded ‘grandstander.’ […] MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!”

Which is peculiar considering that when Massie was up for reelection Trump gushed that he was “a ‘Conservative Warrior’ and a ‘first-rate Defender of the Constitution,’ who has ‘my complete and total endorsement.'” Trump likely changed his opinion after Massie expressed his opposition to both Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” and the Iran bombing that he correctly said was unconstitutional. And Massie was not alone among the allegedly united GOP>

All of this is going on as Trump is swirling in a death spiral of unpopularity. Just prior to his Iran action, news reports revealed that his polling has sunk to new depths. As Newsweek reported, “Donald Trump’s approval rating is underwater in 15 states he won in 2024, including all seven swing states.”

“In key battlegrounds such as Michigan (-11), Nevada (-12), North Carolina (-8), Wisconsin (-13), Arizona (-12), Pennsylvania (-12), and Georgia (-6), Trump’s net approval rating—the percentage of voters who approve of him minus those who disapprove—is firmly negative.” […]

“Beyond the swing states, Trump is also underwater in other states he carried in 2024, including Texas (-8), Ohio (-6), and Utah (-5). Trump’s net approval ratings are also slightly negative in Missouri (-2), Indiana (-3), Florida (-3), Kansas (-4), and Iowa (-4). This means that in 15 states Trump carried in 2024, his net approval rating now stands below zero.”

Gee…Do you think this might have had anything to do with Trump’s decision to bomb Iran? Do you think he knows anything about wagging the dog?

Trump Marks His First 100 Days By Glorifying Why Most Americans See Him as ‘A Dangerous Dictator’

Posted by on April 29, 2025 at 1:47 pm. 2 Comments :

The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been evident since he first crawled out of the slime of his reality TV swamp, seeking to bail out his failing business empire. His ability to sustain the myth of his success was ironically aided and abetted by the media that he maligns as “the enemy of the people.”

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

Donald Trump Walking the Plank

As we arrive at the completion of Trump’s first 100 days of his second occupation of the White House, it is more obvious than ever that he is determined to be canonized as the messiah of his MAGA movement in order to ordain himself as America’s first dictator. Even his press secretary explicitly characterizes the devotion that she expects the Trump cult members to display…

SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches to ‘Trust in Trump’ to Bring Economic Salvation

For his part, Trump sought to memorialize his 100 day anniversary in a manner that is typical of someone suffering from a severe case of malignant narcissism. It’s typical in that it exposes how deeply he has descended into an acute egomaniacal stupor. But it’s also typical in that it is deeply delusional. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, he linked to an article by GOP Sen. Roger Marshall for what he considers to be his accomplishments thus far…

“In just 100 days, we have witnessed one of the most productive presidential administrations in modern history. Trump has already signed more than 140 executive orders, issued more than 40 proclamations, and authored more than 30 memorandums—far surpassing the number of actions many presidents have taken throughout their entire administrations.”

Contrary to Trump’s gushing self-pride for what he regards a “productive presidential administration,” everything in that comment is more representative of the behavior of an unabashed tyrant. American leadership is not graded on how many unilateral actions are taken by a wannabe despot with overt animosity toward democracy. Bypassing the legislative and judicial branches of government is ordinarily done on a limited basis when required by unique circumstances. But Trump is using executive orders, and other instruments of power, to exert his own will, not that of the people.

The Newsweek op-ed by Marshall that Trump linked to was replete with more ridiculously reverential rhetoric. Marshall went on to say that…

“Despite relentless criticism from the mainstream media, radical judges blocking the president’s actions, and Democrats in disarray, the American people stand strongly behind the president’s America first vision.”

Marshall, of course, is lying. In fact, Trump has the worst approval ratings of any president in more than 80 years at this point in their term. Even worse, a poll by PRRI found that “Most Americans see Trump as a dangerous dictator.” That includes a majority overall, a majority of Independents, and even 17% of Republicans. Some may believe that those numbers are still too low, but this is just the beginning.

What’s more, one of Fox News’ most reliable Trump-fluffers, Mark Levin, seems to agree that Trump is an aspiring dictator. He told his viewers that…

“He is routinely violating separation of powers, which goes to the heart of our system. He’s ruling our country by executive orders, administration regulations in order to defy Congress and get around Congress. That is, he’s lawmaking, which is a clear violation of the Constitution.”

Actually, Levin said that on May 19, 2024. And he was talking about President Biden who signed only 42 executive orders in his first 100 days. And Trump posted a link to that clip of Levin on Truth Social. So he must have been aware of it because, as he says himself, he has “one of the best memories in the world.”

Finally, Trump’s shadow chief-of-staff, Sean Hannity, also devoted some time to heralding Trump’s “accomplishments” in his first 100 days. However, they don’t seem to include anything that actually benefits the nation or its people. Unless you regard renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or ending federal support for paper straws, as major achievements to move America forward. Well, do you?

WOW! Take a look at all of Trump's "accomplishments" as celebrated by Sean Hannity on Fox News.Is this what they think the American people want and need?

SIGNALGATE: How Fox News Fouled Up the War Planning Chat Scandal Was More Cover-Up than Coverage

Posted by on March 25, 2025 at 2:05 pm. 1 Comments :

This week the nation was alerted to what may be one of the most serious breaches of national security in modern times. The most senior members of the United States government, including the Vice-President, JD Vance, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, the Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, and others, were caught discussing military attack planning on a commercial chat program.

Donald Trump, Fox News, Fake

Under ordinary circumstance, this would be the story of the year. And many news organizations treated it as such. However, a conspicuous standout among those that didn’t was, of course, Fox News. The network that was forced to pay a settlement of more than 3/4 of a billion dollars because they repeatedly lied to support Donald Trump’s wholly unsupported allegations of election fraud, has not learned any lessons from that humiliating display of dishonesty and political propaganda. To the contrary, they continue to back a president who seeks to muzzle the free press.

Consequently, it should surprise no one that Fox New is fulfilling its mission as Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda with regard to what is becoming known as “SignalGate,” after the messaging app on which the Trump staffers were leaking classified information.

For the most part, Fox News and other MAGA media has soft-pedalled the story, ignoring the glaring national security disclosures and the gross violation of law. Instead, they focused their “reporting” on the detail of how a journalist – The Atlantic’s editor, Jeffrey Goldberg – was included in the chat, and on insulting Goldberg. While allowing a reporter into such a sensitive discussion is a serious breach of protocol, the bigger problem is that all of them where having that discussion on a commercial chat program in the first place.

Some of the worst offenders were among the usual suspects on Fox News. They included…

Jesse Watters, who called it “a wee bit of a security breach”: “Did you ever try to start a group text? You’re adding people and you accidentally add the wrong person? All of a sudden your Aunt Mary knows all your raunchy plans for the bachelor party? Well, that kind of happened today with the Trump administration. […] Well, national security advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added a reporter to the group text and not a good reporter. Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic, one of the biggest hoax artists around.”

Yeah, who hasn’t inadvertently added reporters to a top secret chat on military planning? It’s just like letting your Aunt Mary in on bachelor party plans. Also, Watters lashes out blindly at the widely respected reporter, Goldberg, who handled this story with the high degree of integrity that he’s known for. And then there was…

Sean Hannity, who dismisses it as “phony outrage…that nobody will care about.”: “They are obsessed with an accidentally leaked text, a chain from Trump cabinet officials who are debating the merits of military strikes in Yemen. So the very people that covered up their president’s severe cognitive decline, lied about wide open borders – both of which are clear and present dangers to our country – now want you to believe that they actually give a damn and care about national security.”

Notice that all Hannity has is his tired smears of President Biden that have nothing to do with this. And he thinks that potentially exposing military secrets to America’s enemies is nothing to be concerned about, and that Americans won’t care about it. Because if Hannity doesn’t care, no one else will? And there was…

Will Cain, who at least concedes that this breach “is incredibly concerning,” but goes on to say that: “If you look at the actual content of what was reported, if you look how they discuss potential strikes on Houthis in Yemen, what you will see is…a very collaborative, open, honest, team-based attempt to come to the right decision. After years of secrecy and incompetence, if you read the content of these messages, I think you’ll come away proud that these are the leaders making these decisions in America.

Of course. We should all be proud that these “leaders” unnecessarily risked national security, and the lives of American soldiers, and intelligence sources and methods, on a chat app that they all knew was not secure. This reaches peak absurdity with Cain bragging about “what you will see,” when we should not be seeing any of this. And then there was…

Donald Trump, who typically doesn’t know anything: “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic. To me it’s a magazine that’s going out of business. I think it’s not much of a magazine. But I know nothing about it. […] You’re telling me about it for the first time.”

If Trump is telling the truth (doubtful), he is in effect admitting that he is an ignorant boob who is out of the loop. What’s more, he’s implying that his team are keeping secrets from him. These chats took place a couple of weeks ago. The participants all knew what they were up to, and likely knew when Goldberg removed himself from the group. So why didn’t any of them tell him about it? More likely Trump knew and is lying in order to set up the eventual scapegoat.

This is what you get when you fill your Cabinet with utterly unqualified asskissers who were inevitably going to screw up. Did anyone expect better behavior from the likes of Pete Hegseth, who is himself a refugee from Fox News with no relevant experience to run an institution like the Pentagon? And they have only just begun. Trump has only been in office for two months. What will the next 46 months look like, if he makes it that far?

For now, we will have to put up with his incompetence that is manifesting itself in the most nauseating way. His only response to this scandal on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, was to post a pitifully dumb joke about it (via his co-president, Elon Musk) that didn’t even bother to deny the truth of The Atlantic’s reporting, only offering his addled opinion that no one reads The Atlantic…

Here is Trump's only response on Truth Social to The Atlantic exposé that JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Mike Waltz, Tulsi Gabbard, and others, revealed war plans on a commercial chat program.He makes a joke about it. And not that it isn't true, but that no one reads The Atlantic.

Trump Bashes the Media as ‘The Enemy’ While Being Fluffed on Fox News By Sean Hannity

Posted by on February 19, 2025 at 1:35 pm. 1 Comments :

It remains an enduring mystery why so many of the flock who follow Donald Trump regard him as courageous. It could not be more evident that he is a whimpering wimp who relies on volume and verbal bullying to manufacture an image of fortitude that 100% fictional. Just like the character he played on “The Apprentice,” Trump is as fake as his combover and spray tan.

Fox News, Sean Hannity

Trump’s cowardice is also confirmed by his fear of interacting with any media that hasn’t been pre-approved as MAGA-friendly, and whose practitioners aren’t avowed Trump cult disciples. Not only does Trump avoid outside associations with non-MAGA media, he has also populated his administration with personnel that he recruited from Fox News.

Which explains why Trump just did yet another interview with the Senior Trump-Fluffer on Fox News, Sean Hannity. On Tuesday night Hannity aired the interview that Trump did in tandem with his co-president, Elon Musk, to whom he seems to have delegated most of his presidential duties. Musk also appears to have replaced Trump’s other partners, JD Vance and Melania.

The interview was just as cringeworthy an episode as you might imagine. The three of them were grossly enthralled with each other to the point of being unable to control their drooling. In the first minute of the interview Musk gushed that “I love the president.” But their mutual admiration was matched by their animosity toward the free press. And that was never more obvious than when Trump went off on all of the non-Fox media that he despises so much…

Trump: The media is so bad. When I watch MSNBC, which I don’t watch much, but you have to watch the enemy on occasion, the level of arrogance and cheating, they’re just horrible people. They lie. These are horrible people
Hannity: They tell lies.
Musk: They tell conspiracy theories.
Trump: And they start up with the Constitution. They couldn’t care less about the Constitution. CNN, likewise. I mean, I watch them asking questions with, you know, the hatred. I said, why are you asking the question with such anger? You’re asking me a normal question, but you see the bias. The bias is so incredible. Those two are bad. PBS is bad. AP is bad. CBS is terrible.

Trump once again maligns the media as “the enemy,” because he simply cannot abide anyone that tells the truth about him. He is so intolerant of honest journalism that he recently banned the Associated Press from the Oval Office because they refused to adopt his preposterous renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. Trump later doubled-down on that unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment by declaring that journalists will henceforth be prohibited unless they agree with Trump.

The rest of the interview was an unwatchable hodgepodge of incoherent rambling and flagrant falsehoods. Trump regurgitated many of the fantastical claims that are a routine part of his repertoire. But more significant were the subjects that were not discussed, including some of the issues that Trump made integral parts of his campaign. Little or no mention was made of Ukraine, Gaza, Social Security, immigration, healthcare, taxes, and his threatened annexations of Greenland, Mexico, and Canada.

Even his beloved DOGE was mostly left out of this interview. With Musk sitting right next to him they never talked about the agencies that were closed, or the people that were fired. They never addressed the fact that prosecutors and Justice Department officials were terminated; that nuclear stockpiles were left unsupervised; that public health researchers who monitor the safety of food and medicine, and who guard against potential pandemics were let go; that investigators who protect American consumers from fraud were sacked.

They clearly couldn’t care less about the welfare of the American people. And they couldn’t care less about the Constitution or democratic government. All they care about is accumulating more power and enriching themselves and their wealthy pals. Which is why they are so fixated on hating the media. They need to prevent any possibility of the truth getting out to the public.

Hopefully the media will rise to the occasion and stand up for themselves and the First Amendment. If they are smart they will refuse to cover Trump and his regime until they show the proper respect for the Constitution. Former CNN anchor, Jim Acosta, made a good case for this recently…

“Let the American people see this image: an aspiring autocrat in the Oval Office, surrounded only by his propaganda outlets and right-wing hacks. That’s not a good look for him.”
