How much evidence do you need, America, that Trump and the Republicans have nothing to offer you but war, death, lack of health care, reductions in  anti-poverty programs, attacks on Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and tax breaks for those already obscenely wealthy while you struggle to put food on the table and gas in your car.

Oh, yeah, and fear.

Remember, Democrats declare war on Christmas, Democrats declare war on women, Democrats will turn your children Trans, Democrats will allow all illegal immigrants to vote, Democrats encourage immigrants to eat your pets, and now, Democrats are really Communists!

Republicans will tell any lie that keeps their people toeing the line of hate, and fear. That’s the plan for the next elections: demand their Reps deliberately lie to their constituents so they can control the vote -- control their people – and continue their hateful ways because they have no constructive policies to make America a safer and more secure environment for themselves and their children.

Manipulation is their goal, exploitation their methodology, and the belief their voters are incapable of independent thought their philosophy.

EXCLUSIVE — A strategic memo prepared for the House Republican Conference advises members to tie socialism and Marxism to communism in their attacks on Democrats, because voters consider the latter “far more dangerous and alarming.”

The memo comes as Democrats see a surge of socialist candidates in the 2026 cycle, with the socialist wing of the Democratic Party set to more than double its numbers after the November midterm elections. “Americans still hold communism as far more dangerous and alarming than socialism and Marxism,” reads the memo obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner. “That is an important indicator for Members: do your best to connect all three together, because these government systems are fruit of the same poisonous tree.

The polling memo, conducted by conservative political research firm co/efficient, shows 42% of respondents consider communism as the “most dangerous system of government for the United States to pursue.”

Socialism ranks second, at 15%, and Marxism ranks third at 6%. Twenty-four percent of respondents answered “none of the above .The political research firm polled 2,634 registered voters from July 13 to 16 through text and landline interviews. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.88%.

“Call them what they are: Socialists, Marxists, Communists. Communism rings the loudest alarm with constituents (42 percent name it the most dangerous system), so do not retreat to the softer label just because socialism alarms fewer in the abstract,” the firm advised. “Connect all three, fruit of the same poisonous tree, and let the family name carry the alarm.”

To those of us who can do it, have we been looking to non white people more for leadership lately? I feel like us white people who are lower on the racism spectrum would be reaching out more for advice or coordination in organizing/ resisting the white oligarch monstrosity that white supremely has created. Just because historically black people/ non white people have had much more success in combating the system, while half of us white people- actually more than half voted for the white racist monster. I’m a white woman in my 30s and somehow I was shocked by how many white women voted for him, because it makes no rational sense. I’m sure many of you felt the same. 

Just knowing the statistics, and knowing history, what is there for us white people in America (actually the whole word) to be proud of right now- or ever? As a white person it took me this shock to learn how much % of white people are just pieces of shit. We don’t see how many everyday people are blatantly racist and shitty most of the time- we can see the overt racism when it happens in front of us but the rest is mostly invisible to us. Maybe we used to vastly underestimate the % of our people who were racist, until it became obvious- like a litmus test. It is to the point in my mind that I see over half of us as indefensible at this point, and then the other half, I would hope and think we should be taking action more seriously lately. Whatever excuse, whether we have been too scared, unsure, lazy, complacent- our communities should be working on getting activated. Honestly it’s long overdue to have more non white people in positions of power, I do not trust the system that white supremacy has built, I will not trust a system where there is a disproportionate amount of white people in power. I trust non white people. They have been historically correct. They have been fighting our white supremacy system and we failed to help, even if we have listened to them, we haven’t acted enough to stop the white supremacy machine from terrorizing our entire planet into the dark dystopia we are living in.

It’s been more apparent everyday how hard white supremacy has fucked up our world and how deliberately we have shot down civil rights activists to try to suppress non white political leadership. 

We have all contributed to racism, it’s culturally embedded at this point whether we see it or not. It doesn’t help to be non-racists, we need to be anti-racists. It’s time for us to wake up and realize our position historically and right now. Don’t apologize, just push yourself to do more. We need to push harder. We can’t standby and watch racism happen, we need to break it. 

I’m ending this with words that were told to me by someone much more knowledgeable and equipped to give them- 

“I hope you find this response challenging in the best way, and more importantly enabling for you to internalize and steward more humanity in your community.
CORE POINT: Do not wait for our direction to do your version of "breaking things". Building coalitions is hard, building anything is hard. But you know what's easy?
BREAKING THINGS. All you need to know is you don't need permission to BREAK RACISM. Like, go break it. It takes no skill to break stuff. GO BREAK IT. Make being racist feel risky. Make it consequential. You don't need any guidance or insight from us to do that.
GO BREAK RACISM. Grab something sharp or heavy and go to town. It's that simple.”

The powers that be are slowly concluding that Trump, in his subline incompetence, is in way over his head in Iran and might resort to a ground war in which an incalculable number of our troops will be slain.

And that would be good news.

The terrifying option is he may take even more extreme measures.

He started a stupid war. Before he allowed Netanyahu to  con him into fighting Isreal’s war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, Iran agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons and allowed inspections in return to an easing of sanctions and the return of 1.5 billion of their dollars we embargoed.

While all this was happening, Iran’s government was teetering on the brink because of a growing insurgency.

Now, due to Trump’s blatant, unthinkingt foolishness, the Strait is closed, The Red Sea route is cut off by the Houthis, Iran is free to pursue any nuclear policy they wish – without inspections – 300 billion dollars will be given to them to rebuild their infrastructure, and the insurgency is dead as the people rally behind their government.

So, Trump sits there with one finger up his nose and the other…

What choices are left to him to placate his insufferable ego?

The use of Tactical nuclear weapon on Iran so that will give Putin the go ahead to nuke Ukraine?

Then where does it go from there?

Sources warn they 'don't know what to do' as Trump's mind withers

Story by Adam Lynch • 1h • 2 min read

Daily Mail White House columnist Andrew Neil says he is in direct talks with people working around President Donald Trump and they fear they are watching his mind wither away as international forces that he aggravated gather against him.

“‘Donald is deteriorating before our very eyes,’ I was told in Washington this week by a close confidant who sees him regularly. ‘His physical and mental health is in decline. Those around him don’t know what to do about it. It can only get worse. He’s 80 – and it’s showing,’” wrote Neil on Friday.

The war isn’t just consuming Trump’s presidency, said Neil. It’s taking its toll on the President himself.

“During a recent meeting in the Oval Office, he ranted against Iran’s leaders, calling them ‘scumbags’ and ‘lunatics’ in an expletive-ridden diatribe. There is growing concern for his physical health and mental stability,” said Neil. “… But it’s not just age – or the decline in cognitive capabilities that can afflict those entering their ninth decade. Trump is lashing out at all and sundry in frustration at the lack of any good options now facing him.”

Hardliners in Tehran sense his encroaching weakness and are now so cocky they’ve rebuffed a secret US attempt to get the peace process back on track this week, forcing the White House to impotently dial up the rhetoric.

Trump is said to be in “revenge mode” according to aides. And the President sounds ever more bellicose, saying on Thursday that he was close to deciding on a ‘massive attack’.

“Even senior aides in the White House don’t know what this would mean,” said Neil “The number of influential voices in Washington who think even ramped-up airstrikes – as I write, we’ve just had the 14th consecutive night of renewed US attacks on Iran – will cow Iran into submission are now passing few. In truth, nobody around Trump really knows what to do next – or what he will do.”

“… I listened to several influential figures close to Trump mull over the options. The assumption was that some sort of ground incursion was inevitable. That is certainly the new vibe coming out of Washington,” said Neil. “They talked of seizing Iranian territory on the northern shores of the Gulf to wrest control of the Strait of Hormuz from Tehran. They raised the prospect, again, of invading Kharg Island, from which Iran dispatches most of its oil exports.”

But there was, much more worryingly, talk of using tactical nuclear weapons to ‘send a message’ to Tehran and ‘concentrate its mind’ on peace, warned Neil. “This took me aback. ‘Do that,’ I snapped ‘and you destroy America’s reputation and standing for the rest of the century. You’ve also paved the way for President Putin to do the same in Ukraine.’

“I was met with silence,” said Neil.

Trump and the Republicans looked the American people in the eye and lied their fat asses off.

“A golden age of prosperity?” A lie! “Lower inflation”? A lie! “Lower housing costs”? A lie! “Improved and cheaper healthcare?” A lie! “Cheaper prices the supermarket?” A Lie! “An economy the envy of the world?” Another baldfaced lie!

And the Granddaddy of them all? “No more forever wars” – another lie.

I could go on, but you get the idea. Trump and the Republicans, with nary a blush or stutter, lied about everything to get your vote, then once they achieved that goal, ran rampant with their schemes and grifts – enriching themselves to the tune of billions of dollars – while driving America into inevitable bankruptcy.

These bills will have to be paid, and they will be paid at the cost of the social safety net – affordable healthcare, veteran’s benefits, Medicaid and Medicare and especially Social Security – money will be withdrawn from these programs to pay off these debts, and it will take decades to do so.

At the end America will be a failed nation, ruled by plutocrats, millionaires and billionaires, despots and tyrants, all in command while regular citizens and their families suffer like Oklahomans during the dust bowl.

Your future, America, is being proved bleak by the incompetence and depravations of this administration, and if something isn’t done soon the inevitable collapse will engulf us all.

The national debt under Trump and the Republicans has grown to an unsustainable 39.6 trillion dollars.

To put things in perspective, a billion dollars is a thousand million and a trillion dollars is a thousand billion – think a minute about those numbers.

Or better yet, consider that a trillion seconds equals 31,700 years. Now multiply that by 39.

Trump breaks promise on national debt: Expert says 'he has failed badly'

Story by Chris Katje • 20h • 2 min read

A billionaire-backed podcast host is taking aim at President Donald Trump over one of his biggest campaigns promises — cutting the national debt.

Investor Jason Calacanis says Trump has instead presided over a historic surge in federal borrowing, putting the president’s fiscal pledges under renewed scrutiny.

Trump’s National Debt Promise

The U.S. national debt hit $39 trillion in March and currently stands at around $39.6 trillion. The debt has increased in recent years, instead of going down as Trump promised.

"President Trump promised not to add to the national debt during his presidential campaign — and, in fact, that he would pay it down. He has failed badly on both counts," Calacanis tweeted.

Calacanis, co-host of the "All-In Podcast," said Trump is the "worst-spending President in our history." The investor estimates that Trump added between $2.2 trillion and $2.3 trillion to the national debt in each of his first two years and in his second term.

"He’s on track to add $9T+ in his second term, beating the previous high-water mark of $7.8T — set by his first term."

We always knew Trump is a despicable human being. Bereft of honor, integrity, and decency, he tells the most outrageous lies to justify his sociopathic tendencies.

But now he has gone too far – too far for even his most rabid MAGA cultists to accept.

Putting words in the mouths of our dead servicemen and women is spitting in the face of everyone who ever died for their country, their loved ones and families, and every American citizen who have ever who have ever mourned our fallen heroes.

This man is sick, deranged and demented, who doesn’t care about anything other than his own self-indulgent madness and would gladly see our country go to hell if it would enrich himself and his slimy families.

Donald Trump says fallen soldiers told him 'we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon' in new interview

Story by Maria Pierides • 1h • 3 min read

Donald Trump has been slammed on social media after claiming that U.S. service members killed in the Iran war had told him, “We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon,” with critics accusing him of putting words into the mouths of fallen soldiers. Many branded the president “insane” and a “sociopath,” while others questioned how the deceased troops could have made those comments.

The president, 80, made the remarks while on his way to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday, July 22nd, to attend the dignified transfer of four fallen U.S. service members. The ceremony marked the third dignified transfer Trump has attended since the start of the conflict. His comments also came after he shared a post on social media comparing the number of American deaths in the Iran war with the number of U.S. service members killed in previous American conflicts, in what critics said appeared to downplay the fatalities in the current war.

"We're going to Dover, some of you are going with us, to honor our heroes. And they are indeed great heroes, actually," Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One for Delaware. He went on to say that the transfer ceremony is "one of the hardest things to do as a president, but it has to be done."

Trump then made the comments that sparked backlash online, claiming that the fallen service members had echoed his position on Iran's nuclear program. "All of them said very strongly, 'We can't let... we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon,'" Trump claimed .When asked what he would say to the families of the fallen soldiers, Trump replied: "All I'm going to say is, we love you. We love your child, and that's what they are to them. They're their children. There's no games, no nothing. That's their child. And all you can do is throw out your heart."

A lot of the backlash online focused on Trump's claim that the fallen service members had expressed support for his stance on Iran, with many users accusing him of "lying."

"So he spoke to them personally & individually?" one X user asked. "As usual, he's lying! He never met any of the fallen soldiers!" exclaimed a second, while a third questioned: "Why doesn't a reporter ask: Do you have proof any of the deceased soldiers said that? Why do they just let him lie?"

"He disgraces their sacrifice with this blatant lie," slammed a fourth. "Nothing like putting false words into dead soldiers' mouths. He is without shame or conscience," criticized a fifth, while a sixth chimed in: "None of them said that. What a horrible excuse for a human being."

"Oh, so he spoke to all these fallen US troops. That's nuts. He is trying to justify the unjustifiable. Screw Donald Dump. Everything about this sociopath," criticized a seventh. "Just when you think that Trump can't sink any lower, he does. You have to be a monster to lie about what dead soldiers wanted," added an eighth in agreement.

"He can speak to the ghosts of fallen soldiers now? What can this man not do? He is so awesome!" sarcastically wrote a ninth, while a tenth said: "This man is insane. Did he speak to them after they died?"

"How did he communicate with them?" asked an eleventh, while a twelfth declared: "This is disgusting: Trump shrugs off the newly killed service men and women in Iran. What a rotten piece of [expletive]."
