Trump just sent a “letter” to NATO countries demanding they stop buying Russian oil to force Putin to end his SLAUGHTER of Ukraine.

Of course Trump added “this isn’t my war, this is Biden and Zelenskyy’s war! This would have never happened had I been president!” in an effort to —once again—try to convince Putin that he’s not mad at Putin, and that it’s not Putin’s fault, and that Trump’s only forced to do this because Biden and Zelenskyy are horrible leaders and have forced him to play this hand against Putin.

If you are sitting there going whhhhhhhaaaaaa thhhhhhhhh fuuuuuuuu did I just read, don’t worry, it is every bit as maniacally confusing as you think it is. 

Let us help unravel it. Trump knows Putin is a ravenous, murderous dictator. Trump knows Putin needs to be stopped. Trump knows Putin invaded Ukraine. He knows all these things. But he pretends like he doesn’t know in an effort to ingratiate himself to Putin and at the same time put down his political enemies in America AND BOAST ABOUT HIMSELF.

Does Trump sincerely think that Putin will drink his Kool-Aid? Absolutely he does. Trump sincerely thinks that everyone drinks his Kool-Aid. He is 100% convinced he is the greatest man alive, with the greatest ideas, and that if everyone will just drink his Kool-Aid, the world will magically transform into Valhalla. Yes, I believe he sincerely thinks this nonstop.

Mayors are starting to stand up to the Trump military takeover of America. The latest is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. I’m not exactly a fan, but if I was a mayor of Chicago, I would be doing the same thing.

Everyone knows Chicago has been poorly managed. Crime has been out of control there for years. Something definitely needs to be done. I think many people agree on that. But is the answer big brother, or should I say big daddy, take over by the federal government? The majority of Americans are saying NO. And I am one of them. 

I admit that agreeing with Democrats was not on my bingo card. But authoritarianism makes strange bedfellows. That could be a very bad thing for Trump. What I’m talking about is the ever increasing unification of Democrats and Republicans against authoritarianism. Turns out our other differences start to look very small in the face of a complete government takeover of our country.

It will be interesting to see what happens next as Brandon Johnson says he has ordered Chicago police officers not to cooperate with Trump’s masked federal storm troopers. I should clarify that those “storm troopers” are our fellow citizens who have been turned against us by the authoritarian in the White House.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t say I’m not a fan of crime. But I am also fully aware that police officers are not utilized properly. The laws have not been updated. The overhead and bureaucracy is out of control. There are myriad ways to go about bringing down crime rates aside from federal big daddy government takeover.

I’d also be remiss if I didn’t add that crime rate in Chicago has been coming down steadily. In fact, I think it’s down 20% over last year. So Trump launching a “state of emergency“ to justify giving himself authoritarian powers is in fact, illegal, justice it was illegal for him to do the same for the insane tariffs he has been implementing.

Oh! The irony of the most lawless president we’ve ever had breaking the law to supposedly enforce the law in America’s cities. The chief criminal posing as America’s great crime fighter — while he protects pedophiles and white collars who have committed crimes, including clients of Pam Bondi’s brother (Google that one). then again it’s not really irony. It is insane, psychotic level hypocrisy and bipolar dementia and/or mass psychosis.  Whatever it is, it ain’t American.

In yet another episode of “you can’t make this stuff up,” self proclaimed anarcho capitalist Donald Trump just made a “deal“ with Intel in which he unilaterally handed them $11 billion in taxpayer funds for the United States government to be a non-voting shareholder of Intel. Some are calling it socialism, nationalism, or state controlled capitalism, although people who live in the fog of political delusion and Maga psychosis are calling it “winning!”

I am a technologist with deep knowledge and understanding of the industry, the power players, and the future, and I can tell you with confidence that Intel is not a winning horse anymore. They have been unable to remain relevant in the new technology wave, they’ve been steadily falling behind and shrinking, and their stock has lost 49% value over the last five years. Anyone who calls that “winning” is living in an alternative universe.

In order to reclaim their former glory, Intel would need a complete leadership and vision overhaul. They would also need to completely realign their products with the actual needs of the technology industry at a price point that made sense. Good luck with that one. The infusion of cash from the government buys them more time, but it doesn’t buy them a new company. If anything, it merely delays their collapse.

And yes, no matter how you spin it, it’s massive free market interference on the part of Trump, just like his tariffs. It’s big government, big bureaucracy, big brother stuff. Trump claims to be a libertarian, but he is really a statist bureaucrat just like the rest of them.

And yes, I recognize the government bails out companies all the time, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. Libertarian leaning economists would argue the government should stop meddling in the market and rather allow failing companies to collapse. They espouse an “adapt or die” philosophy that is aligned with the way of true capitalism, choosing the way of the free market over big brother nanny state and corporate welfare. I side with the Libertarian economists. I personally am sick of corporate bailouts with my tax money.

Silly me, I thought Trump supporters were sick of it also. But nope. They’re giddy. They think it’s a wonderful “bet“ on the part of Trump. When a NY mayoral candidate says he’s going to have city owned grocery stores. they cry foul. But when their president says he’s going to have federally owned tech corporations, they think it’s wonderful. They are stunningly oblivious to their own hypocrisy and insanity.

Actually, I wish I was making this stuff up. I wish it was all just the stuff of a prolonged nightmare that we could wake up from.

I must be an expert because I said the same thing before any experts actually weighed in on the highly suspect interview between Trump’s DOJ, facilitated by his former defense attorney, and sex trafficking pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell.

Expert interview analyst told Raw Story: “ The interview proves Maxwell was clearly assigned to do one thing and one thing only, which was to exonerate President Trump, and all of the circumstances around it lead right to that; from the leading questions by Todd Blanche, to the mere fact of the situation, that she was moved into a lower security confinement, and that President Trump of course has the power the to pardon her.”

“Assigned.” Yes, by Trump lawyers, and most likely after her lawyer contacted his and said something to the effect of, “Miss Maxwell loves the president and would cherish the opportunity to exonerate him in exchange for a transfer and work release.” As I said in an earlier broadcast, she’s a criminal, and criminals are always scheming how to leverage every situation for their own gain.

I’ve been saying the same thing: The only point of the DOJ’s interview was to disconnect Trump from Epstein because the connection is killing his approval ratings. And if there is one thing Donald Trump hates, it is low approval ratings. In fact, he lives for approval ratings.

It’s doubtful he’s concerned about any legal ramifications from exposure because I think he has high-level and deep protection that will ensure any crimes he has committed never come to light. That deal was made a long time ago. Those files were scrubbed and redacted many moons ago. not just for him, but for every high-level official in both parties. 

The only chance of any justice being served at this point is if a large group of compelling victims/witnesses come forward. It’s unlikely, but it is possible. A high-powered and incredibly brave attorney(s) could bring them together and launch a powerful class action complaint. It’s unlikely though because they know all the power of the federal government would come down on them since Trump is using the fed as his own personal reputation protector now. It’s also unlikely because I think all of the victims have been paid off to remain silent. 

Then again, when there is a will, there is a way. God knows the will of many people is to expose everybody who was involved with Epstein for their crimes. I hope that will continues in earnest.

He’s at it again. yesterday he said “The West and Kyiv [this is his way of saying America and Ukraine] are ‘forgetting that Ukraine started the war in 2014 when they used tanks and aviation against the peaceful population of Donbas.”

Before I completely destroy this psychotic propaganda, I will remind you that Putin-supporting Americans, especially Trump supporters, say that same exact thing anytime they are confronted with the fact that Putin is a murderous dictator who has unjustly invaded Ukraine. They almost used the same exact words. Where do you think they got those words? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, they got them directly from Vladimir Putin propaganda.

Here’s the truth:

What Really Happened in Donbas in 2014

1. The War Did Not Start with Ukraine Using Tanks and Aviation Against Civilians

• The conflict in Donbas began in early 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea and supported armed separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russian paramilitaries and equipment, along with covert Russian military support, played a central role in sparking and sustaining the war. 
• Russia backed the breakaway movements with troops, tanks, and artillery. Ukrainian forces responded with a military operation starting in April 2014.
• The initial violence was therefore initiated by Russia-backed separatists and Russian forces—not by Ukraine using heavy weapons on peaceful civilians.

2. No Credible Evidence of Ukraine Using Tanks or Aviation Against “Peaceful” People

• There is no reliable, independent evidence that Ukraine used tanks or aviation to deliberately attack peaceful civilians in Donbas. Instead, Ukraine directed its operations primarily against armed separatists and Russian proxy forces.
• Civilian casualties, while tragic, were largely the result of the broader war dynamic, not a targeted campaign by Ukraine against civilians.

3. Russia’s Genocide Claim Is Widely Rejected

• Putin has repeatedly alleged that Ukraine committed “genocide” against Russian-speaking populations in Donbas. These allegations have been thoroughly debunked.
• The International Court of Justice, the OSCE observers, and over 300 genocide scholars found no evidence to support claims of genocide.
• The consensus among international observers is that these accusations constitute disinformation—used as a pretext to justify Russia’s aggression. 

4. Putin’s Claim Reflects a Propaganda Narrative, Not Facts

• Russian state narratives consistently frame Ukraine and the West as aggressors or puppets, aiming to distort reality and excuse Russian actions. 
• Putin himself, in other remarks, has framed the conflict as ending an alleged Ukrainian-initiated aggression—but these positions are not supported by facts. 
• Independent accounts trace the root of the conflict to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and Russian-backed armed destabilization of eastern Ukraine—not Ukrainian military provocation.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it another hundred times. I’ll say it to blue people, I’ll say it to red people. I’ll say it if it makes people happy, I’ll say it if it makes people fly into rage: the 2020 election was not rigged or stolen. And with every new legal victory for Dominion Voting Machines, that fact becomes more irrefutable.

Newsmax is the latest victim of Dominion’s rampage against every single news outlet who accused them of election fraud. I actually don’t even know how long the list of victims are now. I just know that all the major heavyweights, including Fox News, have paid them tens of millions to settle lawsuits. And not a single one of them have been able to put up a fight because they don’t have a shred of evidence to defend themselves.

If you are one of those stubborn people who still think the election was rigged, let me ask you a question. Where is the evidence? I won’t wait for your answer, because I happen to know there is no evidence.

If there was evidence, all of these news agencies would be producing it to defend themselves in court. If there was evidence, Trump would be posting it online and calling for the prosecution of every single Democrat who had anything to do with it.

If there was evidence, surely all of those Republican election clerks, who bought into Trump’s “rigged election” claims would have found it in their precincts. Take Tina Brown, for example. She is the Republican election clerk who was found guilty of giving access to her county’s voting records to Trump investigators, who found no evidence of wrongdoing, and is now serving time for her crimes. Trump is actually calling for her release today. 

You can 100% rest assured if there was evidence, Trump would’ve produced it by now, and all of those companies who falsely accused Dominion of fraud would not be paying them tens of millions of dollars to settle their lawsuits. But there is no evidence, so they pay the damages, as Trump remains silent and doesn’t come to their defense. But how could he? He’s got nothing to defend them with other than his own repeated empty claims, which clearly are not holding up in the courts.

The hard truth of the matter, whether you like it or not, is that the Democrats legitimately won the 2020 election because they use the mail and ballot system to flood the vote. They got mail and ballots into the hands of millions of people who ordinarily would not have gone to the polls. They had college kids canvassing neighborhoods. They had people at every grocery store. It was a massive effort and it paid off.

How am I so confident of this? That’s an easy one. Because Trump is right now demanding that the mail in ballot system be canceled. He says it doesn’t ensure the integrity of the election. Well, I can tell you right now if there were enough mail in ballots to rig the election, he would be producing them. But there are not.

While there was of course fraud, it was not significant enough to change the election outcome, and Trump knows it. Therefore, his only hope is to just cancel the mail in ballot system so the Democrats can’t win another election that way—oh, and do a whole bunch of gerrymandering like they just did in Texas. The very fact that he is doing these things proves the Democrats won the 2020 election because they took advantage of the way the system is formatted, not because they defrauded anyone.

None of this means I’m a fan of the Democrats. I do not support the Democrat party. But I’m not a fan of the Republican Party either. I think both parties suck. I think we need a new party a new leadership. But I’m one of those weirdos. 

We need to file this one under “you can’t make this stuff up.”

Alex Acosta was the federal Florida prosecutor who gave Epstein to sweetheart deal to help him avoid prison from molesting kids. Trump appointed Acosta to be his Labor Secretary in his first administration. No, I am not kidding.

William Barr worked for the law firm that actually represented Epstein. They were responsible for getting Epstein the deal with Acosta that helped him avoid prison for molesting kids. Trump appointed Barr to be his freaking DOJ Attorney General in his first administration. No, I am not making this up.

So let me get this right. Trump appointed two guys who were directly involved in helping a prolific child molester avoid prison to top positions in his cabinet. And no one thought there was anything wrong with this?

Let me ask you a question. Would you appoint a guy who worked for a law firm who represented Jeffrey Epstein and helped him avoid prison time from less kids as your attorney general in your department of justice???

All of this should beg the question: WHY did Trump fire his first Attorney General appointment, Jeff Sessions? if you recall, Jeff sessions refused to use the office of the department of justice to defend Trump against the Russian collusion investigation of the Democrats.

Trump claims sessions refusal to defend him pissed him off, so right after the midterms he fired him. In January, he hired William Barr. In February Epstein was arrested. In August Epstein so-called killed himself. Immediately following his “suicide,” in a highly unusual move, Barr got involved with “investigating” Epstein suicide, and quickly reported that it was indeed a suicide, and there was nothing to see here, move along.

Is this wild or what?

I still can’t get over the fact that Trump put the two guys who are directly involved in helping Epstein avoid prison into top cabinet positions, including the top law-enforcement position in the country. WOWOWOWOW
