Judges across the country are losing patience with the Trump administration and their prosecutors, and they aren't hesitating to let them know it. So far this week, two different federal judges have had to threaten prosecutors and officials with sanctions and contempt for lying in court filings about ICE detainees. Trump's people genuinely believe that they are above the law and can lie all they want, and while that may fly in the media, it isn't working in court. According to a new ana...
Donald Trump proudly boasted last week that he had agreed to a "framework for a future deal" with regard to Greenland, and now he's already trying to change the terms. This is likely due to the fact that most people in the US pointed out that he got nothing from his supposed deal, so now he's demanding that US military bases in Greenland be considered American territory - and Denmark and Greenland aren't happy with his demands. A documentary about the life of Melania Trump is set to rel...
Conservative ideology is dismantling America right at this moment, and Republican voters have a choice - Do they pretend this is all normal even though it isn't, or do they finally own up to their mistakes and vow to never let it happen again? From both economic and humanitarian standpoints, conservatism has failed in every possible way. No one is better off today than they were before Donald Trump came back into office, but millions are far worse off. Will Republicans ever wake up and realiz...
During a recent focus group with Politico, Republican voters expressed their growing concerns about Vice President JD Vance running for office in the future. In short, these voters don't think for a second that Vance can win a national election and they don't even want him to try. Vance is the heir apparent of the MAGA movement, but his polls have been going down (slower than Trump's, but still declining) for months now. Joe Rogan's turnaround from a Trump supporter to one of his bigges...
Joe Rogan stunned his audience this week when he compared ICE under Donald Trump to Hitler's Gestapo forces. Rogan has become increasingly critical of the entire administration, and his latest comparison to one of the worst regimes in history is going to rattle the administration in ways that they aren't prepared to handle. Rogan was solidly behind Trump a year ago (and in the lead up to the 2024 election), and he brought his audience with him. During a speech in Detroit this week, Dona...
A Trump-backed prosecutor quietly opened an investigation into Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell in an attempt to pressure him into quitting. This move has the potential to destroy the economy as we know it, as economists and other global experts have insisted that any attack on the Fed's independence would completely destroy faith in the US economy both home and abroad, sending our currency into a tailspin and putting a halt on investments into the US. In an interview with The New...
A MAGA brawl broke out on social media on Friday between Donald Trump's team and Marjorie Taylor Greene, after the administration accused Greene of setting up Trump to be confronted by protesters. The White House was referring to the episode last September when an angry citizen said "mean" things to Trump at a DC restaurant, and they're accusing Greene of leaking Trump's dinner plans to the public in order to set him up to be mildly inconvenienced for about a minute. The entire administration...
Following his "annexation" of Venezuela over the weekend, Donald Trump told reporter Michael Scherer of The Atlantic over the weekend that Greenland is likely going to be the next target. Trump specifically told Schere that "we need it" when discussing his long-held desire to annex the territory. Trump continues to push the narrative that Greenland is essential for national security and military purposes, but that ignores the fact that the US already has a military presence there and has for ...
A bombshell new report claims that Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida sent women to Jeffrey Epstein's home for years, allegedly to give him massages. The women that were sent to Epstein's home warned others about his dangerous behavior, so if this story is accurate, that means there's little to no chance that Mar-a-Lago didn't know exactly what was going on. This week, Donald Trump vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have created a pipeline to deliver clean drinking water to more...
Donald Trump's physical and mental health are both deteriorating at a rapid pace, and we've seen signs of his cognitive decline through his unhinged rantings that no longer seem to have a filter. But therein lies the problem - He's not just more unfiltered with what he says, but also with the actions that he's taking. As his health continues to decline, we're seeing him take more dramatic actions to radically reshape the country in his image (literally.) Hundreds of victims of 2024's Hu...
Photos emerged over the weekend showing visibly bruising and bandages on BOTH of Donald Trump's hands, with one photo showing a puncture mark, likely from a needle, in the center of one of the bruises. This has completely destroyed the administration's talking point that these injuries are from shaking hands, and MAGA is losing their minds trying to defend Trump's visible decay. MAGA lunatics took to social media to downplay the new evidence, but no one was buying their garbage. Harmeet...
Donald Trump's approval rating on every issue continues to plummet, as does his support among every demographic, and that has left Fox News hosts in a tough spot to try to spin their way out of it. But they haven't given up. On Friday's episode of The Five, one of the hosts suggested that Trump's low numbers were not only "expected," but they were due to him being a "victim of his own success" because voters hold him to a higher standard than other human beings. These folks' brains are meltin...
After nearly two decades with Ring of Fire, I officially stepped away from the program at the start of December — and almost immediately, speculation began to swirl. Let me set the record straight. With Donald Trump’s grip on the Republican Party already weakening, many are beginning to wonder what happens to the MAGA movement once Trump is no longer in office—or no longer alive. Is MAGA a lasting political force that will simply transfer its loyalty to a new figure, or is it something far mo...
At the recent Turning Point conference, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson finally started to sound the alarm bells about Republicans' chances in next year's midterms. Johnson warned that Democrats could take over (which is almost guaranteed at this point), and that if they do, they'll go out and impeach Donald Trump again. He's trying to scare Republicans into submission, but doing so by arguing that the least popular president in modern history is in danger isn't exactly going to get peo...
With the new agreement between TikTok and the Trump administration being approved (final signing will happen in January), Donald Trump is now in charge of one of the most powerful and influential social media platforms on earth. Trump's good friend and donor Larry Ellison will be given most of the control over both the algorithm and the data of all users, giving Trump an unprecedented grip over Americans. Lindsey Halligan, the disqualified US Attorney that Trump installed to prosecute h...
Republican voters in red states are in a full blown "revolt" against Donald Trump as they continue to get crushed by his policies. From the staffing and budget cuts made by DOGE to the trade war and immigration raids, red states are feeling the pain even worse than the blue states that Trump has vowed to punish. Republican voters are always the hardest hit by the politicians that they keep supporting. Donald Trump's top economic adviser, Kevin Hassett, admitted on live television that he (and...
The Republican Party leadership has officially lost all faith in Donald Trump as we approach the midterm election year, with Trump's hand-picked RNC chair declaring recently that they are preparing for major losses in the 2026 elections. This statement shows a complete lack of faith that the President is even capable of turning things around for the country in the next year after spending an entire year breaking everything down. Donald Trump's own fanbase was left sickened and shocked b...
The Trump administration has reportedly sent $45 billion to the Taliban in Afghanistan, after telling us for years that they were a dangerous terrorist organization that President Biden allowed to take over the country. This move even infuriated Republican lawmakers who called out the administration for this disgusting action. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had a mini meltdown during a recent appearance on CNBC while trying to convince the American public that they are overreacting t...
Donald Trump went off the rails this week on Truth Social by suggesting that anyone reporting on his failing mental and physical health was committing treason. We have never in the history of this country seen a President attack our Freedom of Speech the way that Trump has, and his suggestion is not just a passing thought - his administration would gladly lock all of us up for daring to criticize or question their cult leader. Donald Trump doesn't plan on taking responsibility for any o...
According to a foreign policy and political analyst, Donald Trump appears to realize that he doesn't have much time left on earth due to his failing health, and Trump is making moves that show he knows the end is near. For example, his attempts to name buildings after himself suggests that he's now obsessing over his legacy, along with his desire to win awards (even fake ones) to showcase for years after he's gone. As Americans are cutting back on their grocery purchases due to the skyrocketi...
