A fascist theocracy is murdering citizens in Iran. A fascist theocracy is murdering citizens in the U.S. Disagreeing with either dictatorship can get you killed. The only difference—so far—between Iran and America is the number of regime murders. So far.
In the new War on Iran, we can be sure of one thing: Trump has no plan. All Trump knows is, it’s an excellent distraction from the fact former President Bill Clinton testified under oath about the Epstein scandal—and he hasn’t.
After the Iran bomb dust settles, people will realize Slick Willie did it again. Testifying under oath before a House committee, Clinton established a precedent: a president CAN be compelled to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s day of reckoning remains.
The monster turned on his creators. The Supreme Court gave Trump kingly powers. Yet, he threw a tantrum when the high court ruled against his illegal global tariffs. He called the ruling a “disgrace” and smeared two Justices as “fools and lap dogs.”
Trump spent 108 minutes lying about the State of the Union. Fact is, the United States is struggling to stay alive. The only cure is to vote every so-called Republican out of office in November. We’ve already tried leeches. It doesn’t work.
Hit Trump where it hurts him A LOT—low TV ratings. DON’T WATCH the State of the Union address Tuesday night. Defiance.org is showing The State Of The Swamp at 6:45 ET. Go to defiance.org/sotu to sign up. YouTube and Substack, also.
Trump doesn’t plan to cancel the November election. Instead, he intends to make it invalid by interfering in key Congressional races to keep the Republican majorities in Congress. All his favorite dictators hold “elections” but the outcome is never in doubt.
Marco Rubio showed his true colors—and feathers—by heaping praise on Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban, who is struggling to hold power amid citizen opposition. Orban, shunned by most of Europe, is a hero to America’s White Right because of his strong anti-immigration stand.
Catherine M. Salinas is the judge who ruled the Justice Dept.’s dubious “probable cause” was adequate for the FBI to seize Fulton Co., Georgia’s voting records. It’s a formula for disrupting the 2026 elections. Why aren’t the Dems fighting this?
Trump has this buffoon making life and death decisions for the nation. Kennedy made the astonishingly disgusting comment on a podcast. He reminisced with the host about their days together in drug rehab and said during the pandemic he wasn’t scared of germs.
China’s Xi Jinping is a dictator Trump admires. In China Xi is everywhere. Will there soon be a giant jumbotron screen on the National Mall featuring 24/7 video of Trump? Our dementia-addled leader seems determined to erect monuments to his wonderful self or rename historic sites.
This DHS poster, uploaded on New Year’s Eve when people weren’t paying attention, shows an idyllic beach and a vintage (naturally) Cadillac and says, “America after 100 million deportations.” That’s nearly a third of the U.S. population. Think about it.
Steven Bannon, Trump’s on-and-off adviser, knows the demented old man’s notion of Republican-controlled nationalized elections won’t work. Bannon’s evil alternative is posting ICE thugs at polling places to suppress minority voter turnout. We need to prepare.
If you wondered if Trump intends to disrupt the November elections, now you know. The recent Dem win of a deep red Texas state senate terrifies him. If the Dems win control of the House and the Senate, Trump is finished. He knows it.
In the MAGA parallel universe Texas is as red as they come. Thus, it is a Richter-scale-shaking event that Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a reliably red senate seat in the Texas legislature—by 14 points. What may happen elsewhere in 2026?
The deadly ICE violence in Minneapolis is not about immigration. It’s a result of Trump’s psychopathic obsession with revenge against perceived enemies. Trump despises Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the needling he got in the 2024 election campaign. ICE is getting even for Trump.
Tell your Senators to defund ICE. They will vote Thursday. 5 Calls can help you be heard. Copy and paste this URL: https://5calls.org/ They have Zip-code-based info on how/who to call in Congress. (Senators now) Do it now. Pass it on.
Greg Bovino, “Commander” of Trump’s Gestapo-like campaign of terror in Minneapolis, has lost his command. Bovino’s ouster is a BIG win for the citizens of Minneapolis—and the citizens of America who have had enough of Trump/MAGA fascism.
ICE is Mafia-Don-wannabe Trump’s death squad gangster army. They are the storm troopers assigned to create chaos in “blue” areas so Trump can claim voting results there are chaos-flawed so election results are invalid. He’s desperate to avoid a Democrat-majority Congress.
The Minneapolis ICE atrocities are part of a plan to get us accustomed to federal storm troopers disrupting our cities before the November election. Trump will claim cities are in chaos, therefore election results are not valid and neither is the new Congress.
Trump is a hater. He’s a petty, grievance-driven shell of a man. Arguably, at the top of the Trump “hate” list is former federal prosecutor Jack Smith, who built a powerful criminal case against Trump. Blame former A.G. Merrick Garland for no prosecution.
MAGA and Dementia Don CAN be stopped IF the Dems win solid majorities in the House and Senate. The House can impeach, the Senate can convict. Vote in the primaries for an anti-Trumper who can win in November.
In Watergate, “Deep Throat’s” advice to Bob Woodward about the money trail was timeless investigative wisdom. Trump’s lust for Greenland is really about vast resources. Billionaires want them but Greenland’s enviro laws are in the way. Trump could fix that.
When ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Good’s dog was in the back seat and watched helplessly as she died in the front seat. Good’s wife, Rebecca, had to beg for help rescuing the dog from the car.
We urgently need to demand the de-criminalization of the U.S. Justice Department and all federal law enforcement agencies. We cannot live by the rule of law if people carrying badges and guns are criminals. Contact lawmakers and demand that they demand a reckoning.
Dear Leader is furious that Big Oil doesn’t share his dementia dream of the U.S. conquering Venezuela to steal their oil. They say the country is “uninvestable.” They refuse to waste billions on Trump’s empire fantasies. It’s a case of kickback-interruptus.
How do we save our nation—and the world—from the delusions of a demented old man who craves an empire he fantasizes will be under his control? Under existing treaties, Greenland would likely agree to most of his demands. Alas, Trump wants to dominate, not cooperate.
The term federal law enforcement is a bitter joke. Our convicted felon president has totally corrupted the Dept. of Justice. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dir. FBI Dir., and Kristi Noem, Sec. of Homeland Security should be investigated as possible criminals.
Aside from being corrupt dictators, one thing Trump, Xi and Putin have in common is a view of the …
Trump’s announcement of the U.S. overthrow of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro had a chilling end point. He said “we” would “run the country”—for now. And, “American dominance in the Western hemisphere will never be questioned again.” Should we change “dominance” to “empire?”
It’s heartwarming to know Trump wants U.S. Big Oil to take over Venezuela’s vast petroleum deposits so the nearly 29 million mostly brown citizens of Venezuela can prosper. Uh. That’s what he meant about “the country” prospering, right?
Trump somehow remembered a New Years resolution and invaded Venezuela to please Big Oil. Trump falsely claims the invasion is to fight drugs. The real reason is Big Oil greed for Venezuela’s big oil reserves. “We’re going to run the country.”
If dementia patient Trump could remember New Year’s resolutions, one resolution might be to invade Venezuela to please Big Oil. Trump will falsely claim the invasion is to fight drugs, but the real reason is Big Oil greed for Venezuela’s oil massive oil reserves.
2026 is going to be a rough, bumpy year. That doesn’t mean good things can’t happen. They can and they will. But it won’t be smooth sailing. The kind of year we have depends entirely on We the People. Courage and determination will make it a very good year.
Will Trump’s dementia force him out of the presidency? Will JD Vance be our next president? Will the Democrats regain control of Congress? Will Trump’s tariffs wreck the economy? Will we learn the truth about the Epstein files? 2026 promises to be a wild ride.
Furiously stroking his own ego—again—Trump announced a HUGE new “Trump Class” battleship that the Navy neither wants nor needs. Modern sea warfare is trending toward smaller, lighter, faster, stealthy fleets. But Trump has to have the BIGGEST. It’s all show and no go.
Trump’s millions of gullible minions are realizing his campaign promises amount to a pile of horse manure under their Christmas tree. It’s hard to admit you’ve been played for a chump, but now his “Make American Great Again” lies are hitting their wallets. Merry Christmas.
There is so much Trump-generated sewage in the 47th Presidency it’s sometimes easy to forget the Trump-branded crap—that is to say merchandise—that he has used to cash in on being President. The image is just a sampling of Trump junk to be bought at premium prices.
Fentanyl is the leading cause of U.S. drug overdose deaths. Mexico is the main source of fentanyl. Mexican fentanyl producers use tons of precursor chemicals imported from China via container ships. Trump needs to interdict China chemicals if he REALLY wants to fight drugs.
Trump made the murder of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner all about himself, as usual. In a widely condemned post, Trump claimed Reiner was killed due to (anti) Trump Derangement Syndrome. Reiner’s son has been charged with murder. Trump proves again money cannot buy class.
Despite the stolen election lie, Trump never got over the fact he lost to Joe Biden in 2020. He had his heart and what’s left of his mind set on defeating Biden in a rematch. As dementia sets in, Trump knows his mind is failing—just like Biden’s.
Trump’s towering ego may be on the verge of turning his second presidency into a towering inferno. He refuses to admit his “A plus, plus, plus, plus, plus” economy is in the toilet and voters are struggling to make ends meet. Watch for consequences next November.
The zombie-like MAGA cult has great difficulty seeing the similarities between the effects of aging on Joe Biden and their Dear Leader, Donald Trump. Our wannabe-king seems to fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. Trump calls Biden Sleepy Joe. Trump is Sleepy Don.
Convicted felon Donald Trump campaigned on affordability. His tariffs, a budget for the rich and federal government destruction are wrecking the economy. Yet, he calls affordability a Democrat “con job.” Trump knows all about con jobs. He’s a master of them.
Denial of reality is one of Donald Trump’s many mental illness issues. A new Politico poll finds nearly half of Americans believe affordability “is out of control” and they blame Trump. As political pro James Carville famously said, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
Signs of Trump’s advancing dementia are on display almost daily. Yet the Lamestream Media is terrified of the D-word. Ditto for the political class. Sooner or later, it’ll be up to We the People to force use of the 25th Amendment. Buckle up.
Pete Hegseth wants everyone to believe he never gave an order to ‘Kill them All’ in a double missile strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat. Hegseth wants us to believe Special Ops command murdered boat survivors without orders. Trump always believes suck-ups.
No evidence, no survivors, no war crime. “War” Sec. Pete Hegseth reportedly gave a verbal order to “kill everybody” in a suspected drug boat. Two survivors died in a second “tap.” U.S. Special Ops commander Adm. Frank M. Bradley followed the order Hegseth now denies. Uh oh.
Our tasteless President is arguing with his ballroom architect that he wants the 96,000 sq. ft. eyesore to be even larger, to accommodate bigger kickback and payoff parties for tribute-paying billionaires. Think of it as a permanent monument to Trump’s criminal greed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is hoping his boot-licking, ass-kissing “useful idiot” in America, Donald Trump, will finally force Ukraine to capitulate in the land-grab war Putin started in 2022. Trump is crafting another “peace” plan giving Putin everything he wants.
Ghislaine Maxwell was Jeffrey Epstein’s “girl” scout. She was his partner in crime. Maxwell is serving 20 years for child sex trafficking with Jeffrey Epstein. If America wants the whole story, we should demand full release of her investigative files, too.
Trump’s MAGA-pleasing but irresponsible suggestion that six Congressional Democrats be executed for sedition disregards his own behavior. What about HIS seditious action on January 6, 2021 when a MAGA mob violently stormed the Capitol? Trump betrays the nation often.
ix Congressional Democrats posted a video reminding military personnel they can refuse illegal orders. Donald Trump’s hysteria response? “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” Secretly, he’s relieved. The storm will draw attention away from the Epstein files.
The grand jury that indicted former FBI director James Comey on charges of obstructing and lying to Congress never saw the indictment. Lindsey Halligan, the buffoonish, inexperienced prosecutor only showed it to the foreman. It’s one of many prosecution case flaws.
Donald Trump faced the Power of the People. Trump blinked. Intense public pressure led Congress to swiftly pass legislation to compel the release of the FBI’s files on child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a longtime Trump friend. But expect another stonewalling gambit.
Donald Trump and his political swamp reptiles are frantically searching for something, anything, to distract America from the ever-hotter Epstein child sex trafficking scandal. His flip-flop on releasing the Epstein files is a bow to overwhelming demand. Counterattack explains his order to the “Justice” Dept. to investigate Bill Clinton’s ties to Epstein.
Donald Trump is losing his mojo. In an AP poll, only a third—33%--said they approve of his management of the government. That’s a 10% drop from March. Polling guru Nate Silver says in a blog post that Trump’s voter unpopularity “might be here to stay.”
In one Sherlock Holmes mystery story a key clue is a dog that didn’t bark. In an email to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein likens Donald Trump to the dog that didn’t bark, meaning Trump didn’t tell investigators what he knows about Epstein’s child sex trafficking.
After months of stalling, House Speaker Mike Johson will have to hold a vote that will compel the release of the Epstein files, which reportedly link President Trump closely to deceased-by-suicide child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Many believe all hell may break loose.
The Democrats surrendered—again. Democrats raised the white flag on the government shutdown and got nothing in return. Most polls showed Americans blamed the Republicans for the shutdown. No matter. Democrats have finally cleared a path for Republicans to end Obamacare.
MAGA—the haven for White bigots—plans to incessantly remind Americans in 2026 that New York City elected a Mooz-lum “Commie” to lead the Big Apple. They intend to make Zohran Mamdani the “face” of the Democratic Party in 2026. As for their fascist leader—well…
Donald Trump got his ass kicked in elections on Tuesday. We can be sure the nation’s petty, vindictive “leader” will come up with some punishment to inflict on voters to show his displeasure. Remember: he’s scared. If he loses Congress in 2026, he loses his power.
uesday’s election is an opportunity to give Trump’s fascist thugs a taste of their own tactics. They intend to post “observers” at targeted polling places. Shoot photos and videos if you encounter any “observers.” Try to get faces and/or any identifying visuals. If they object and try to prevent you from recording them, document that, too. Lawfully resist.
Trump relishes upsetting the world. He did it again by saying he’s ordered the U.S. to resume nuclear weapons testing—which was halted in 1992. He has reminded us America elected a highly unstable madman who has his finger on the nuclear war trigger.
There are no Halloween treats from Donald Trump: unless you are a White Supremacy morally phony Christian Nationalist. For Trump and his MAGA mob, that’s a different story. For everyone else, who isn’t a White “Christian” hetero male, it’s a bag of tricks—dirty tricks
Was it South Korean humor when President Lee Jae Myung presented Donald Trump with a replica of a crown worn by ancient Korean kings? Trump has been mocked by millions of American No Kings protestors. Yet Trump is clear: he wants to be king, not president.
Attacking Venezuela, government shutdown, military occupation of cities, gutting Obamacare, paying himself millions for being prosecuted—Trump has an endless supply of distractions from releasing the FBI files about his close ties to notorious child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
No Kings needs a proven, high profile, charismatic leader if it is to grow and gain strength. And it needs a political infrastructure with a skilled staff. Let’s draft former President Barack Obama. Like No Kings, this can be a grass roots movement. Please pass this along.
Veteran political commentator Thom Hartmann says No Kings needs a leader and an organizational structure. He’s right. He notes the Women’s March, Occupy Wall St. and Black Lives Matter ignited, then fizzled. No leaders. No Kings needs a marquee leader. How about Barack Obama?
The contemptuous fake video of King Donald Trump shit-bombing millions of No Kings protestors is a gift to Democrats—if they are savvy enough to shove it up his ample ass. It is a metaphor for what he’s doing to all of America. It’s great for Dem mass messaging.
Trump responded to millions of No Kings marchers by producing a tasteless fake video showing himself shit-bombing the protestors. It’s a perfect metaphor for what he is doing to America. Democrats should dump the video’s contents on Trump and Republicans in relentless video ads.
Did we learn anything from the Jimmy Kimmel incident? When ABC/Disney suspended him for commenting about a dead MAGA hero, the public exploded. 1.7 million cancelled their Disney streaming subscriptions. Kimmel was back on TV in a week. No cavalry. Just us. Join a No Kings rally!
The Gaza hostage photo-op is over so Trump can focus (?) on the hard work of helping Netanyahu force 3.4 million Palestinians out of the West Bank. Jared Kushner says the Gaza beach is “valuable.” He suggests relocating the Palestinians to the desolate Negev desert.
America’s get-even President and his rubber-stamp Dept. of Injustice have indicted two of Trump’s self-styled enemies with more to come. Prosecution professionals say there isn’t sufficient evidence. Trump doesn’t care. He wants more payback indictments. He will get them.
Donald Trump—America’s violence-loving president, lost again on the accolade he covets most—the Nobel Peace Prize. It went to Maria Corino Machado, Venezuela’s political opposition leader. Trump ordered four deadly military attacks on Venezuelan boats he says were smuggling drugs.
Six former Surgeons General wrote an Op Ed that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is endangering our health with his unscientific medical policies. Members of his own family have urged him to resign. Trump, meanwhile, blames Tylenol for autism.
Convicted felon Donald Trump is running the Presidency like a Mafia family with himself as the Godfather, the Capo de Tutti Capo—Boss of All Bosses. It’s easy to envision his “consigliere”, Stephen Miller, telling him to ignore judges and laws. HE is the law now!
Spineless is a good descriptor for Democrat congressional “leaders” Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Clueless is another. They’ve stood up to Donald Trump only because rank and file Democrats have angrily demanded it. Democrats need some backbone at the top. The country does, too.
Democrats! Independents! Wake up! The shutdown isn’t about policy. Donald Trump intends to fight, defeat, punish and subjugate “Blue” states—states opposed to his fascist dictatorship. Sane Americans need to realize we are in a new Civil War, very different from the first one.
The shutdown blame game is at full volume, as expected. Trump loves the shutdown. It’s cover for accelerating his destruction of the government. The Democrats remain clueless about using social media to fight back. Sadly, voters must decide on their own who is lying.
Trump sees a government shutdown as more good luck for his fascist dictatorship. He welcomes outrage and chaos. It gives him an excuse to post armed agents and troops at polling places in blue states next year. He hopes demands for I.D. will chill liberal/independent voting.
Donald Trump has posted on social media a blatantly racist AI-generated fake video portraying House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries as a stereotyped Hispanic while Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats are “woke pieces of shit.” A government shutdown is looming.
t’s hold ‘em or fold ‘em time in Washington. A shutdown of the federal government is at stake. Democratic “leaders” Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries get to try out their newly grown spines. Donald Trump faces his rep for TACO—Trump Always Chickens Out. Deal the cards.
At least two people were killed, eight others injured when a man rammed a pickup truck through the doors of a church in Grand Blanc, Michigan and began shooting. The night before, three people were killed, five injured when a man shot up a waterfront bar in Southport, North Carolina.
Donald Trump, the U.S. mentally unbalanced, get-even President, has what he wants: a pending government shutdown, vindictive prosecutions of enemies, agencies in chaos and people who are ashamed of their nation. His cult still backs him because he supports White Nationalism.
Donald “The Art of the Flip Flop” Trump has flip flopped on Russia’s war on Ukraine. Trump, humiliated repeatedly by Russia’s Vladimir Putin over Ukraine, now claims besieged Ukraine can probably win the war and reclaim its territory. That’s his position this week.
President Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin prosecuting his Democrat enemies, with or without evidence. He is telling her to fabricate evidence to make bogus cases. In a social media post addressed to her Trump said, “JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT” He must have meant Revenge not Justice.
America’s Right Wing, also known as MAGA, is in a frenzy trying to re-make slain political organizer Charlie Kirk into a saint. President Trump ordered flags flown at half staff to signify a nation in mourning. Kirk was a powerful operative, but no saint.
Donald Trump, who acts more like a thuggish Mafia don than President of the United States, should be known as the get-even President. He wants to destroy the First Amendment to silence his critics. And he’s open to revoking the licenses of TV stations to do it.
The Federal Communications Commission should be renamed the Fascist Communications Commission for threatening broadcast license revocation to silence critics of Donald Trump. Muzzling late-night host Jimmy Kimmel amid FCC licensing threats is major danger for America.
In July, 1967, Black activist H. Rap Brown memorably said violence is as American as cherry pie. It was true 58 years ago. It’s true today. Estimates of the number of civilian guns in the U.S. is as high as 398 million. The population is about 340 million.- Even a dimwit has an idea once in a while. Britain’s King Charles gave President Trump the royal …
- The MAGA parallel universe is working overtime to venerate and almost deify the late Charlie Kirk, …
Violence is becoming the go-to method for solving political disagreements in the United States. Incumbents and office-seekers in both parties are afraid to hold public meetings with voters because they are afraid for their lives. We’re all losers in this environment.
After the arrest of a suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination, President Trump wasted no time in lighting the fuse for more political violence. With zero evidence Trump said, “The radicals on the left are the problem.” Prepare for the fascist crushing of more American rights.
Charlie Kirk, was a close ally of President Donald Trump and the leader of the Turning Point USA conservative youth movement. Here is a quote from the late Kirk, a strong 2nd Amendment advocate: "I think it's worth (it) to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." - April 6, 2023
Donald Trump’s longtime pal keeps coming back from the grave to haunt him. Congress is in circus-mode after obtaining the files of the late Jeffrey Epstein, trafficker in pedophile victims for rich and powerful perverts. Trump, of course, denies everything Epstein-related.
Wall St. says TACO—Trump Always Chickens Out, when referring to the President. TACO also may apply to his threat to give Chicago a taste of war. Trump, who is acting like a banana republic military dictator, backed off that reckless braggadocio but vows to “clean up” crime in Chicago and other black-ruled cities.
Trump’s fragile ego was crushed when the world’s Bad Boys—China’s Xi, India’s Modi and Russia’s Putin, didn’t invite him to their dictator’s party. To compensate, Trump says his “Department of War” is going to invade Chicago for “Chipocalypse Now.” But, but he has bone spurs!
For reasons known only to him, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the disgrace of the Kennedy family, is determined to weaken the U.S. healthcare system and damage the health of average Americans. Kennedy’s anti-science streak makes him a star of the Trump Administration.
