As Midterms Approach, Donald Dumb's Lies Surge Exponentially

 ...It worked last election. He lied and lied, invented and invented, fabricated and fabricated....whatever BS dumb Americans were willing to hear, he gave them. And he won.

Maybe he doesn't do it consciously. Maybe stress and despair cause his narcissistic brain to automatically switch to generating wishful thinking, fantasy rubbish and outright fabrications just to feel good about itself. 

Now he's trying again. As the midterm elections approach, Trump becomes stressed out at the very likely possibility that he will lose both chambers of Congress, whose consequence is that he becomes a lame duck without power but with still plenty of idiocy, dementia and senility. 

But what is different from two years ago is that Trump's got major problems to account for with the American people, many more than when he was inheriting power from Joe Biden. Trump's war with Iran is draining the treasury, so are the trillions of dollars he added to the deficit, mounting inflation caused by both the war and his tariffs, grocery prices that are far higher than what they were under Biden, an American people sickened by his verbal slips, his vulgarity, his racism and sexism, and by the sight of an old senile imbecile hurling lies every which way, making a fool of himself before foreign dignitaries, and trying to make himself look much more important than he is by latching onto the achievements of other people and former presidents, and being happy to receive fake awards from submissive sycophants. Really disgusting. 

For example, he keeps repeating that America is more respected now and is a "hot" country, when reality is the complete opposite. Trump's chaotic America is a laughingstock now around the world, though world leaders don't come out and shout it from the roofs because they are biding their time until the idiot is out. Ever since Trump's first term, countries around the world began establishing alternatives to the dollar, alternate trading blocs that keep America out, supply chains that avoid American products, and so on. The EU has increased its trading channels with China and with South America (Mercosur). Countries are buying up military ware from new sources.... 

What Trump refuses to see is that because of him, other powers are filling the vacuum created by his isolationism. "America First" has become "America Alone" and "America Aside". New superpowers are emerging like China (1.4 billion people), India (1.5 billion people), and the EU (450 billion people). Because of Trump's hostility, traditional American monopolies in these huge markets are slowly dwindling.

With midterms approaching, Trump's desperation at losing Congress is causing him to amplify his lies of fraudulent elections. Remember: In his criminal playbook, there is fraud if he loses, but no fraud if he wins, regardless of evidence. 

[From: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-administration-threatens-states-criminal-162229885.html]: 

"He has frequently claimed without evidence that large numbers of noncitizens are swaying elections in the US. There is no proof that noncitizens are voting in large numbers in US elections. States regularly maintain voter rolls to remove people who are ineligible to vote for various reasons.

The federal government is seeking access to state voter rolls, which contain the personal data of millions of Americans. States have refused to turn the data over, resulting in lawsuits that the administration has been consistently losing.

Deidre Henderson, Republican Lieutenant Governor of Utah and the state's top elections officer, wrote on the social media site Threads that she had received a "love letter" from the federal government, "sprinkled throughout with threats of criminal prosecution". "I'm sure I'm not the only chief election officer of a state who is being targeted for following state and federal laws by resisting DOJ's demands for private voter data that have thus far been ruled illegal by at least a dozen courts," Henderson wrote. "This is truly bizarre behavior by the federal agency that is supposed to be protecting civil rights."

Adrian Fontes, Democratic secretary of state in Arizona, said it was "insulting" to insinuate that local elections officials were not properly maintaining voter lists, a key part of their jobs. "Arizona's election officials take their oath to uphold the law seriously," Fontes said in a statement. "Arizona election officials have always worked to ensure that only eligible citizens are registered to vote, and we will continue following Arizona law – not directions that come from political rhetoric or intimidation."

Trump hired a failed mafioso-type businessman friend outside the bidding process to embellish the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The "friend" used subpar materials to line the bottom of the pool. Very quickly, cracks appeared, the material began peeling off, and algae began growing in the pool which turned green instead of the blue that Trump wanted. Members of the Trump administration, including the jackass-in-chief himself, have lied to divert the attention from their incompetence and corruption, by saying that vandals caused damage to the by gashing the lining, though they have not provided ANY evidence to support that claim. 

It's never Trump's fault. He's infallible, like the Pope or the Supreme Ayatollah of Iran or Kim Jong Un of North Korea. He can never take responsibility for his crimes and misdemeanors. America, what have you become because of that dumbass?

As his dementia grows by the day, his Pinocchio nose keeps getting longer.

Fact check: Trump’s false claims at his NATO press conference

President Donald Trump delivered another series of false claims at a press conference Wednesday at the NATO summit in Ankara.

His comments included some of the long-debunked lies he told the press while meeting with Turkey's president on Tuesday. Here is a fact check of some of his Wednesday remarks.
Investment in the US

Trump repeated his frequent false claim that "we have $19.2 trillion" invested in the US in just "one year" of his current presidency.

That figure is fiction, as we noted when he made the same claim Tuesday and on numerous previous occasions.

At the time Trump said it on Wednesday, the White House's own website claimed there had been "$10.6 trillion" in "major investment announcements" this term, not $19.2 trillion, and even the White House figure was a major exaggeration of actual investment. A detailed CNN review in October found the White House was counting trillions of dollars in vague investment pledges – pledges that were about "bilateral trade" or "economic exchange" rather than investment in the US – and vague statements that didn't even rise to the level of pledges.

The White House figure includes pledges from US-based companies as well as foreign entities. Federal data published last month shows that new foreign direct investment in the US was about $232 billion in 2025.

Factory construction

Trump claimed: "We have the largest number of plants being built for the most money ever in the history of our country – car plants, AI plants, and all other plants, pharmaceutical plants." In fact, federal data shows that spending on US manufacturing construction has steadily declined during Trump's second term after a spike that occurred during most of former president Joe Biden's term (which had abated by the final months of Biden's term). You can clearly see the 2025 and 2026 decline in this official chart [https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TLMFGCONS]

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of manufacturing construction spending in May 2026, about $174.8 billion, was down about 28% from May 2024, the last May under Biden, and also down about 28% from December 2024, Biden's last full month in office. It was down about 26% from February 2025, Trump's first full month in office, and down about 22% from May 2025.

Trump and elections

Trump lied again about the 2020 election he lost, saying: "I've been right about everything, and I have been for a long time. It's how I got to be president three times. It's how I won three elections." He went on to repeat that he "won" the 2020 election but that it was a "rigged election."

Trump has been president twice and won two elections. He legitimately lost the 2020 election, fair and square, to Biden.

We'll leave aside his hyperbolic claim that he has "been right about everything."

Venezuela, prisons and migrants

Trump, speaking of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, repeated his usual claim that Maduro "had people pour into the country from prisons; they opened up their prisons, they allowed them to come in." But Trump has never provided proof that Maduro-era Venezuela opened up prisons for migration purposes.

There was large-scale emigration from Venezuela amid economic problems, violence and political turmoil during the Maduro era. But despite multiple requests for evidence from CNN and other outlets, Trump and his team have never corroborated his frequent assertions that Maduro emptied prisons to get undesirable citizens to leave for the US; Roberto Briceño-León, founder and director of the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence, said in an email to CNN in June 2024: "We have no evidence that the Venezuelan government is emptying its prisons or mental health institutions to send them outside the country, in other words, to the US or any other country."

Helen Fair, an expert on global prisons at Birkbeck, University of London, told CNN in 2024 that she had "seen absolutely no evidence" that any country had emptied prisons to send prisoners to the US.

Migration under Biden

Trump, talking about immigration, repeated his false claim that there were "25 million people, I think more than that, under Biden" crossing the border. The "25 million" figure is false; even Trump's previous "21 million" figure was a wild exaggeration. Through December 2024, the last full month of the Biden administration, the federal government had recorded under 11 million nationwide "encounters" with migrants during that administration, including millions who were rapidly expelled from the country. Even adding in the so-called "gotaways" who evaded detection, estimated by House Republicans as being roughly 2.2 million, there's no way the total was even close to what Trump has said.

Oil prices

While speaking about the war with Iran, Trump said: "And you see the oil prices are lower than they were when I started." He didn't make clear whether he was talking about when he started his second term or when he started the Iran war in late February, but if it was the latter, his claim wasn't correct. Both Brent crude (the international benchmark) and West Texas Intermediate crude (the US benchmark) were pricier Wednesday afternoon than they were just before the war, though Brent was slightly below some of its late-February levels as recently as Monday.

Oil prices fell sharply amid the ceasefire between the US and Iran that began this spring and continued into summer. But they have jumped again in the last day – though not to anywhere close to the peaks of March, April and May – amid another exchange of attacks between the two countries, the resumption of US sanctions on Iranian oil sales and a Trump declaration that he thought the ceasefire was "over."

Why is Trump Asking the Supreme Court to Re-Hear Birthright Citizenship Issue?

... Probably because he made a private phone call to the two conservative Justices (Roberts and Barrett) to buy them, threaten them, or otherwise twist their arms to vote favorably this second time around.

That is how Mafiosos like him handle "business". Behind the scenes, with threats of consequences to those involved.

He did it with the coward Infantino of FIFA who obliged and reversed a red card penalty to a US football player.

He did it with Walmart that obliged and artificially lowered its grocery prices to help Trump's chances in the midterms.

[See: https://lebanoniznogood.blogspot.com/2026/07/how-mafia-autocrats-mind-works.html]

And now he is asking the Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging his executive ‌order curtailing birthright citizenship, after the Court rejected it with two conservative justices - Roberts and Barrett - voting with Democrats against Trump. The Court said that his order violated the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment ‌that automatically confers citizenship ⁠to those born on United States soil.

The U.S. Supreme Court ⁠rarely grants requests to rehear cases and has not done so after issuing a ruling in an argued case in ​decades.

The dumb jackass "president" called the decision a "miscarriage of justice" and launched one of his bad-English rants on social media. "AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court's ruling is wrong," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. "I will be asking for ‌a Rehearing by the United ​States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY."

But Trump has himself been selling the American citizenship to wealthy individuals:

The Trump Gold Card is a U.S. immigration program launched in September 2025 that grants wealthy foreign nationals permanent residency and a pathway to citizenship in exchange for a $1 million donation to the federal government. Introduced by President Donald Trump via executive order, the initiative replaces the previous EB-5 investor visa requirements, removing the mandate to create specific jobs in favor of a direct financial contribution.

Gold Card ($1 million): Provides immediate lawful permanent resident status (green card) and a route to citizenship after standard vetting.

Corporate Gold Card ($2 million): Allows companies to sponsor an employee for residency, with the ability to transfer the sponsorship to another worker later.

Platinum Card ($5 million): A proposed tier offering residency for up to 270 days per year without triggering U.S. taxes on non-U.S. income, pending congressional approval.

Applicants must first pay a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee to the Department of Homeland Security for security vetting before the main contribution is due. While the administration argues the funds will help reduce the national debt and attract "productive" talent, legal experts note that selling visas directly may face challenges regarding existing U.S. immigration laws which typically require congressional action for such categories.

Trump Doesn't Trust US Oil Corporations. Launches Government-Run Gas Stations

Trump tries to buy angry voters by dumping gasoline into the market at sub-market price. He has launched 25 so-called "Freedom Fuel" gas stations. He always attaches fake patriotism labels to his con jobs to seduce angry but imbecile MAGA voters still clinging to the criminal felon.

Hypocrite MAGA Republicans claim they want government out of business and private corporations to run the country. That's in theory.

In reality, when they wreck the economy (tariffs, tax breaks for the rich, etc.) and start losing their huge profits, they dump the problems they themselves created on the government and then complain that the government is incompetent.

On gasoline prices, Trump's train wreck of a war with Iran has caused gasoline prices to skyrocket along with inflation, so he is becoming very unpopular, even with his own MAGA herd of morons. To counter this, he and his right-wing corrupt government are trying to "BUY" votes from angry voters by doing a Democrat thing: Get government involved in retail sales of gasoline. 

They wouldn't let Barack Obama get into the retail sale of health insurance, for example, but Trump has now done what Democrats do: He just opened 25 gas stations across the country to sell gasoline at less than market price, in a typical Trump con job to seduce idiot voters who are complaining about rising gasoline prices due to his failed Iran war.\


The Conman-in-Chief of the United Scams of America

The White House announced Trump's "initiative" on July 7 with a post on X showing "grateful" citizens customers thanking the Liar-in-Chief for lowering gas prices. One of these grateful idiots claimed the gas station saved him money. "I thought gas was more expensive, but it's not," the man, who was not identified, said. "Thanks, Trump, for saving me some money." 

I am tearing up from the generosity of the Dear Leader in the White Outhouse who cares so much for his people that he is willing to put the government in direct competition with the great American Scam-Corporations.

The Pathetic Sight of a Moron Turning Senile in Public

Correction: ...and STILL says (not 'thinks'. He knows the system is NOT rigged against him, but he says it to play the victim and have his MAGA imbeciles vote for him out of pity)

The ignorant AND senile Moron-in-Chief continues his inexorable descent into dementia

Trump says 'Islamic Republic of Japan' fired missiles at US ship
Drew Pittock, USA TODAY
Updated Wed, July 8, 2026 

President Donald Trump said the "Islamic Republic of Japan" fired 111 missiles at a U.S. aircraft carrier "a few months ago."

He made the comments July 8 while speaking to the press alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.

"We have an aircraft carrier which is one of the most beautiful in the world, it's one of the biggest, the (USS) Abraham Lincoln," Trump said. "And a few months ago, we had, I told this story yesterday, we had 111 missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan."

The president went on to say the missiles were shot at the aircraft carrier over the course of an hour and they were all intercepted.

USS Abraham Lincoln and the war in Iran

In February, the U.S. shot down a drone that "aggressively" approached the USS Abraham Lincoln as it was sailing in the Arabian Sea, around 500 miles from Iran's southern coast, according to previous reporting from USA TODAY. The incident occurred shortly before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, kicking off a war that's now stretching into its fourth month.

The following month, Iran said it struck the USS Abraham Lincoln with a ballistic missile. In a post on X, U.S. Central Command disputed the report, writing, "The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launched didn't even come close. The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM's relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime."

US, Japan military alliance

The United States and Japan have been military allies for nearly 75 years. The two countries signed a treaty in 1952, seven years after the end of World War II, according to the official U.S. Congress website. They also share a mutual defense agreement, with around 60,000 U.S. troops currently stationed around Japan.

Donald Dumb Wants to Delete Harriet Tubman from US History. Why? She's a Black African American Woman

Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist of slavery, a fearless humanitarian, an intelligence agent for the Union, and a woman's rights activist. She is a true American hero.

Born a slave, like Spartacus, she dreamed of being free. Like Spartacus, she was willing to risk everything—including her own life—to obtain freedom. After a daring escape, she became a conductor on the Underground Railroad, a secret organization that helped slaves from the primitive white trash slavery South make the dangerous journey north to freedom.

But Harriet Tubman is BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN. And with the dumb asshole Trump in the White Outhouse, being Black is a problem. Trump continues the racist tradition of white trash rule that prevailed in the South when lazy white colonial criminals did not want to harvest their own cotton and clean their own shit. They kidnapped millions of African slaves off the West Coast of Africa, shipped them in atrocious conditions across the Atlantic where they put them to work like beasts of burden and workhorses FOR FREE. Without slave work for more than two centuries, exactly 246 years when the first enslaved Africans arrived in 1619 until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865, the US would not be as rich as it is today.

The German Nazis persecuted the Jews for some 12 years (1933 - 1945) during which they were in power. This was roughly one century ago. Germany, under pressure from the US, continues to pay compensations to its Jewish victims and their descendants who, lest it be forgotten, have been persecuting, genociding and ethnically cleansing the indigenous Palestinian population after stealing their land and expelling them from their native country of Palestine. The Zionists even refuse to allow the Palestinian refugees who fled the pogroms that the Zionists inflicted on them during the 1930s and 1940s to return to their villages and towns, and those who remain are under constant persecution. Let us not even talk about compensations, at least not yet.

The White Trash American settlers of America persecuted black slaves for at least the two-and-a-half centuries (1619-1865) that history has formally documented. This was a couple of centuries ago. But White Trash Americans like Donald Dumb and his neo-KKK cabal continue to refuse to recognize the abomination of what they did to African slaves and, of course like the Zionists, refuse to pay compensations for their descendants of the slaves.

Therefore, one can conclude that Jewish victims of genocide are more deserving than African victims or Palestinian victims of genocide.

I wonder why. Could it be because the garbage and filthy mythology of the Torah-Old Testament rendered Jewish history "sacred" in contrast to other identical histories that remain a footnote? Could it really be that, in this 21st century, we humans continue to believe as "sacred" the crap written 3,000 years ago by smelly old nomads in the Arabian desert about some invented Bronze Age god by the name of Yahweh who arbitrarily chose one desert nomadic tribe as his favorite pet?

Why do we continue to believe this Torah-Old Testament garbage to be sacred, while we view other similar mythologies as profane and a mere object of academic interest? How could the Arabian desert Semites have imposed on the rest of humanity the notion of the sacredness of their myths? The Mesopotamian Epic of Giglamesh and the Code of Hammurabi (whose myths were borrowed into the Torah-Old Testament). The Egyptian Book of the Dead. The Greek Odyssey and Illiad. The Roman Aeneid. The Sagas of Iceland. The scandinavian Poetic Edda and Prose Edda. Of course, two other Semitic mythologies are also considered sacred because they claim their roots to the Torah-Old Testament, namely the Christian gospels and the Muslim Koran.

As Donald Dumb, the White-Trash-in-Chief, has been attempting to delete, erase and eliminate from our consciousness Black Africa-American history and contributions to building these United States, his most recent rape of Black African American history involves reversing the decision of putting Harriet Tubman's legacy on the $20 bill. This White Trash illiterate American nitwit thinks that Blacks are inferior. Worse yet, he thinks that women are inferior. So, because Harriet Tubman is both Black and a woman, he must really hate her. He always qualifies African American women as LOW IQ. Coming from a moron, I am not surprised.

How low can a pathetic racist white trash criminal felon go in his hateful and foolish belief that he can somehow alter history? He has been attacking every symbol of African American contributions to the US: Firing of US armed forces officers who are Black. Forcing museums and parks to delete any mention of African American contributions from exhibits, pamphlets and websites. And now Harriet Tubman. How petty and small can this idiot be?

Message to African Americans, esp. those who love their slave master Donald Dumb: Know who you are voting for at the election booth. Don't fall for the lies of neo-KKK white trash who would lynch you if they could. =====================================================


Trump administration puts plan for Harriet Tubman $20 bill on ice

By Jasper Ward and David Lawder

WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department is no longer planning to put anti-slavery crusader Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill, Treasury ‌Secretary Scott Bessent has told Spectrum News.

"We are not at present," Bessent said when ‌asked in a Monday interview if Treasury was still planning to move ahead with the decade-old plan. Bessent did not ​elaborate, and a Treasury spokesperson declined to comment beyond Bessent's remark.

The Obama administration announced in 2016 that Tubman, who was born into slavery in the early 1820s and went on to help hundreds of slaves escape, would replace seventh U.S. President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

Then-Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said ‌the decision was the result of ⁠thousands of responses received from Americans.

Tubman would have been the first African American on the face of U.S. paper currency.

During his first presidential campaign, Donald ⁠Trump, who has since sought to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, called the move to replace Jackson with Tubman "pure political correctness."

He had proposed putting her on the $2 bill or another bill, and no progress was ​made ​on the plan during Trump's first presidency.

Bessent's predecessor, former ​Biden administration Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, revived ‌the Tubman $20 bill project but estimated that the new currency would not be ready until 2030, citing the need for sophisticated anti-counterfeiting measures.

Bessent, in a tense exchange with Representative Joyce Beatty, a Black Democrat from Ohio, was asked in May 2025 whether he could provide an update on the status of the Tubman bill. "I can't, my staff will get back to you," he replied.

While ‌no new person has been put on U.S. paper ​currency since 1928, some officials in the current Trump administration ​have sought to put the Republican president's ​face on a proposed $250 bill to mark the United States' 250th anniversary ‌of independence.

When asked why the Treasury Department ​is not moving forward with ​a $20 note with Tubman's image while making preparations for a $250 bill with Trump's portrait, Bessent told Spectrum News: "The 250 requires an act of Congress, because you can't have a ​living person (on U.S. currency), and ‌it was to commit [sic] – for the 250th anniversary."

"For us to change an existing bill, ​whether it's $1 through $100, takes many years in advance," he added.

How Donald Dumb is Preparing for the Midterms

The writing is on the wall. Cheater-in-Chief Donald Dumb will literally engage in any illegal or immoral act to prevent his losing Congress in the November midterms. His record is one of the most criminal ones in the history of the country, and just like his Zionist friends, he claims to be a victim of the crimes he himself commits.

Watch out America. Donald Dumb is about to wreck the elections because he knows he is losing them. He will post his ICE-GESTAPO police at voting precincts to scare people. He will claim the voting machines were tampered with. He will claim that dead people have voted (somehow he thinks that dead people vote Democrat!!). He will threaten people in charge of the elections if they don't cheat along with him. And best of all, he already is saying that the elections would be fair if his bastard MAGA candidates win, but if his MAGA moron candidates lose it would be because the Democrats cheated.

Doomsday speculation about the midterm elections takes hold

Juan Williams, opinion contributor

Mon, July 6, 2026

"They're animals," President Trump said about the success of leftists in this year's Democratic primaries.  "We have to stop this…horrible threat of cancer that's permeating our country called communism," he told right-wing evangelicals in a desperate effort to stir fear about Democrats.

The Washington Post described his words as "dehumanizing," and similar to 1950s "redbaiting," attacks on Democrats that led the U.S. Senate to censure the infamous Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.). 

Trump is pushing every button with the November midterms getting closer.

As his poll numbers sink to 61 percent disapproval in a Fox survey, Trump is frantic for any tactic to stop Democrats from taking control of the House and possibly winning a Senate majority.

He is even planning a national Republican convention before the midterms.

He wants to distract from RealClearPolitics polls that show Democrats with the advantage in generic congressional voting, holding about a 5-point edge on Republicans.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) warned last month that Trump is willing to "deny the results of midterms if they do not go his way…do not let this scare you: show up, vote, and fight like this country depends on you — because it does." Slotkin's words presaged Trump's refusal last week to sign a bipartisan bill to create more affordable housing.

That potential win for the Republican majority went to waste because Trump's focus is on having Congress pass the SAVE Act, to require more identification from voters in an effort to depress turnout among Democrats.

Congressional Republicans don't have the votes but Trump delights in the deadlock and talk about election fraud. As a result, the Republican majority in the House left town for an early July 4 break without passing a defense policy bill. 

Trump's fixation with stopping a blue wave in the midterms now defines all politics.

Around the country, the president has already succeeded in pressing Republican state legislators to draw new congressional districts to increase the number of seats likely to be won by Republicans.

The Supreme Court made history by weakening the Voting Rights Act to allow some of that mid-decade redistricting. That ruling ignited racial tensions nationally by allowing white Republican state legislators to dismantle majority Black districts that vote for Democrats.

Trump has also pushed the Justice Department to force states to give him access to voter registration rolls so that he can look for voters he thinks should not be allowed to vote.

He still refuses to admit he lost the 2020 presidential election. To this day, most Republican voters do not even support that fraudulent claim. And he has pardoned supporters who led a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to stop certification of the 2020 election.

It is hard to believe but earlier this year, when confronted with the historical pattern of midterm losses for the party in power, Trump told Reuters: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election."

Now doomsday speculation about the fall election is taking hold in conversations among insiders on Capitol Hill. Political players on both sides of the aisle casually speculate that Trump will press Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to refuse to seat Democrats who would form a new House majority.

That fear grows because the scenario has precedent.

Last year, Johnson delayed the swearing-in of Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) for nearly two months after she won a special election, in order to shield the president from the release of embarrassing files about his decades-long friendship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

Johnson already did this to delay release of files on Epstein and child sexual abuse. Election rigging is small ball by comparison. More recently, Johnson amplified Trump's unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud in California without any evidence of any irregularity.

Most telling in listening to the current rush of scary political fantasy is that it takes the lid off a pot of boiling anxiety with four months to go before the midterms.

The basics of the script is consistent: Democrats win enough competitive House races to claim a majority, but the Speaker delays or refuses to seat members from closely contested districts — citing bogus allegations of voter fraud or unresolved close election disputes.

The fight inevitably lands before the conservative Republican majority on the Supreme Court who has already shown itself to be corrupt and serving partisan interests that protect Trump from accountability.

With potential legal and personal accountability awaiting Trump and his aides if Democrats take control of House subpoena powers, the president prefers having Republicans now in Congress and, ultimately, the Supreme Court decide the election.

Add to that a nation that has grown accustomed to the threatening presence of Trump-controlled military and law enforcement agents in Washington, where Congress ultimately decides the disputed House elections.

It is a constitutional crisis waiting to happen — the "sum of all fears" that could bring the American experiment, now celebrating its 250th anniversary, to its greatest test. 

This would all be a bad political satire if it was not so scary. Comedian Bill Maher summed up Trump's approach to elections during a recent interview with Vice President JD Vance: "Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes an election can be: Either we win, or they cheated. That s— has to stop."

Maher is right. It has to stop.

How a Mafia Autocrat's Mind Works: Sweetheart Deals with Submissive Ass-Kissers

The American Jackass-in-Chief phoned the unassailable ass-kisser FIFA President Gianni Infantino (whose tongue is aching from licking the best-ass-ever-in-the-history-of-mankind, and who awarded a made-up customized ass-kissing "FIFA Peace Prize" to the Jackass-in-Chief not too long ago) and asked him to reverse a red card suspension for American football striker Folarin Balogun. Infantino obliged of course, causing a mounting scandal at this unprecedented political interference.

The American Jackass-in-Chief, whose approval is at the lowest ever because he lied to his herd of morons that he will lower grocery prices that have risen steeply since the he ascended on the American throne, has also phoned Walmart's CEO and asked him to artificially lower its prices (thus forcing Walmart to "eat its losses") so that the herd of obese white trash MAGA morons can buy their junk food and express their gratitude to the Dear Leader for rescuing them from his own incompetence.

This is how Dear Leaders, Dictators, Big Brothers and assorted Top-rank criminals run their countries. Donald Dumb first runs the economy to the ground, building himself palaces, ballrooms, triumphal arcs and such, pardons all convicted criminal felons like him because "he feels their pain", pays off his very rich criminal buddies with tax cuts, wages losing wars with taxpayers money and but without a brain, and hold lavish parties while his people go hungry. Backroom deals in poorly-lit chambers with other cigar-smoking corrupt criminal tycoons and moguls: Do me a favor, will ya? Lower prices. Violate those goddam rules. Let the people think I care for them. And it gets done, because if it doesn't, the Jackass-in-Chief's revenge won't be late coming. 

And what is really absurdly funny on how a dimwit like Trump operates, he blamed the Democrats before he was elected and he still blames them after they've been out of power for two years. He takes no responsibility for his own incompetence. His failed war against Iran and his tariffs have caused prices to soar and inflation to rise (from 3% he inherited from Biden to 4.5% now under him), yet somehow Joe Biden is still responsible. Joe Biden could be in his coffin on his way out of this world and Donald Dumb will still blame him for all the damage he himself, i.e. Donald Dumb, wrought onto the country.

Under a Mafia-style autocrat, this is how things work. Not by laws and regulations. But by personal charm and gentle threat-backed nudges.

Birthright Citizenship, Trump's Racist MAGA Morons and the Genetics of Racism

The racist Radical Right of Donald Dumb is brewing a tempest in a tea cup over birthright citizenship. The fact that this is such a puny insignificant matter (see below) shows an unprecedented level of despair by the neo-KKK bastards of MAGA and the GOP.

Despair at what? At the facts that:

- white anglo-saxon protestants (WASP) in the US are on a steep demographic decline, projected to lose their majority status and become the largest minority some time this century.

- there is enough of a critical mass of non-white, non-anglo-saxon, non-protestant people in the US with a higher fertility rates who were absorbed as US citizens during the European white settler expansion. 

An AI query on Spanish possessions that became American returned the following:  "Most of the United States was once part of the Spanish Empire or its successor, New Spain. Spanish explorers claimed land for the crown in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Oregon."

An AI query on Mexican possessions that became American returned the following: "California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas were entirely within Mexican territory before 1848, with Texas gaining independence in 1836. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) and the Gadsden Purchase (1853) transferred these areas, along with present-day Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma, to the United States"

Many, if not the bulk of, Americans in these states are of Spanish and/or Hispanic descent. According to the MAGA-GOP racists, these people are "kind-of" white, but not white enough, and hence undesirable.

An AI query on French possessions that became American returned the following: "France owned vast territories in North America, which included modern-day states in the Midwest, Great Plains, and Southeast. The most significant portion was Louisiana, which encompassed present-day Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Idaho, as well as the northern half of Texas.  In addition, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York (which the English converted from the Dutch's New Amsterdam, itself a conversion of France's original New Angoulême (or Nouvelle-Angoulême) named in honor of King Francois I, and Acadia (covering Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and parts of New York)."

French people are "white" and are not the object of hate (except for their Catholicism) by the English-KKK-stock of today's racists in the US. But it is included here to show that the US was not born as the MAGA racists dream of it. When it was born at the 1776 revolution, it was a relatively tiny strip of land along the East Coast that housed the 13 English colonies.  (New England Colonies: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The Middle Colonies: Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and the Southern Colonies: Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.).

Black Americans too are part of the same founding stock of Americans since they were brought to this country with the very first English crooks who landed in Virginia in August 1619.  As such, they are even more deserving of their American citizenhood as any of the white barbarians that came after them. These Black Americans represent about 12.5% of the present population, and do not include the millions of Black Africans who arrived to the US as immigrants from Africa or the Caribbean and Latin America. Overall, all people who identify as Black Americans are about 20% of the population.

And not to forget the native Amerindians who were once tagged with having "red skin" and whose DNA is perhaps in every one of us after hundreds of years of rapes and illegitimate breeding. 

Not one American alive today can claim racial or genetic "purity". All Americans are bastards of one type or another. Not one American I asked about their origin claimed to be "pure" - the question is "pure" what? - Pure English? As in those who arrived on the Mayflower? Pure Irish? Pure German? Does "pure white" include white Caucasians whose culture, genetics and traditions are as alien to the English crooks as anyone from the far corners of the world? 

Let me explain the absurdity of racism, especially white racism against non-whites, on the basis of genetics. Human skin color is determined by one factor: The pigment melanin. 

On one extreme, there are NO people with "pure" white skin, i.e. without any melanin at all. The closest to to this extreme reduction of melanin in our skin are the albinos. Someone with no melanin would die immediately from exposure to the sun.

On the other extreme, there are NO people with absolutely pitch-black skin. Someone with so much melanin would also not survive because blocking all sunlight prevents the production of vitamin D (essential for bone health, immune function, and calcium absorption) and causes problems related to the body's rhythms (sleep, mood, and adaptation to seasons.

These extremes have been eliminated by natural selection, and all of us humans vary by how much melanin we have in our skin cells. Starting with from the albino extreme, I can think of people with beige, tan, brown, black, mahogany, maroon, burgundy, sienna, ochre, copper, taupe, khaki, chocolate, burnt umber or orange, etc. Some of these people might be perceived as "White" while others might be perceived as "Black". The question is where do you draw the line between what is "white" and what is "black" skin. Since Americans are of such a high levels of racial bastardization, not one of them can claim to be pure white or pure black.

The second critical point is that humans differ by literally millions of differences in their genes, and therefore in the components of their bodies, whether we see those differences or not. Some of these differences are visible, including skin color, eye color, height, weight, bone structure, various shapes of shoulders, hips etc. But even as these visible differences appear significant to us, they are a very insignificant tiny fraction of the millions of differences that we don't see, that are invisible to us. All the proteins, fats, sugars, etc. that make up our bodies beneath the skin vary from one individual to another. 

For example, there are people with a very strong alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme (ADH, to name just one of those millions of differences) compared to others. ADH breaks down the alcohol our body makes or the alcohol we ingest. We don't see that enzyme in our blood, liver, kidneys, brain, stomach... we cannot tell one person with weak ADH from one person with strong ADH by just looking at them. We might see the impact of that difference when people drink: Some can digest alcohol and have no problem drinking it. Others with weak ADH cannot tolerate alcohol and get sick if they drink it. 

The lesson here is that stupid racist humans like MAGA or the KKK judge people on their skin's content of melanin, but do not judge people on their ability to digest and process alcohol. And ADH is only ONE of a million similar differences between humans. On skin color we discriminate, we deport, we deny, we judge, we lynch, we enslave, we whip...., but on ADH we don't. 

Can you see now how ignorant and stupid racism is?

The point of this review is that no one can claim superiority or supremacy on the basis of skin color. Should I hate someone with a 50% Melanin Index in their skin, and feel chummy with someone with a 40% Melanin Index? 

Those whom Trump and his MAGA cabal of white racists want to cull from the US population (by deportations, expulsions, etc.),  or prevent from becoming US citizens (by birthright citizenship denial, limiting immigration from "shithole" countries, persecution, immigration obstacles, etc.), or by forcibly sterilizing visitors to the US, are essentially people with a Melanin Index that crosses an imaginary threshold in the eyes of the dumb racist white beholder. 

Hard as they try, Trump's racists might as well know or learn that people with high Melanin Indices are already genetically embedded in the US population. Efforts by the racist Radical-White-Right neo-KKK Fascists to "keep" America white are not only ignorant, barbaric and uncivilized for a country built by immigrants and people who are all from somewhere else, but are also futile and plain stupid. 

Even if the racist white trash cabal of Trump manages to completely cut off all new immigration from undesirable races and ethnicities, the breeding that has already taken place and that continues to date between all these groups will, in time, create a bunch people that are neither recognizably white nor recognizably non-white. The melting pot, as it were, has already cooked up a new breed of people who are unlike anything the racist white imbeciles imagine. Perhaps, Trump's MAGA should gather a bunch of their ignorant "scientists" like RFK Jr. and other quacks and determine what a qualifying Melanin Index would be for anyone wishing to immigrate to this wilderness of ignorance, violence, racism and hatred.

As you can see, the whole tempest in a tea cup that Trump's MAGA racists are brewing over birthright citizenship is a dud. It is based on stupid hateful racism trying to hide behind a veneer of legality. A very tiny fraction of all births in the US are attributed to mothers who are unlawfully present in the US. 

Only as little as 2,000 babies are born in the US to mothers who deliberately enter the US pregnant to give birth in the US and give their child the US citizenship, the so-called "Birth Tourism". These mothers are in the country LEGALLY, though, having obtained an entry or visitor's visa.

The "unlawfully present" category does NOT include the lawfully present foreign-born mothers, the lawfully present mothers married to US citizens, the lawfully present mothers who are simply visiting the US on a legal visa, or the lawfully present mothers who are here on a student visa and who become pregnant. The MAGA effort to Make America White Again is not about national security or legality or the numbers; it is simply a hateful racist white supremacist effort whose ignorance cannot be overstated.

Congress should restrict birthright citizenship, House speaker says

James Powel, Bart Jansen and Joey Garrison, USA TODAY
Updated Sun, July 5, 2026 

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a July 5 Fox News interview that Congress should take up a legislative effort to curtail birthright citizenship in the wake of the Supreme Court striking down an executive order from President Donald Trump that sought to redefine who is an American.

The Louisiana Republican said on "Fox News Sunday" that the current immigration system is being abused by "birthright tourism" and said that the practice has "devalued" citizenship.

"It's a threat to the rule of law and national security. We do need to address it," Johnson said.

He did not say what piece of legislation would address the matter but that Republicans are "looking at all angles." [In a similar way to Donald Dumb still "having concepts" about fixing the grandiose healthcare scam in the US in replacement of The Affordable Care Act of the best president the US has had in recent years, Barack Hussein Obama]

"If there is a bill that can fix that, we'll advance that immediately," Johnson said.


People demonstrate outside the Supreme Court ahead of President Donald Trump's expected arrival on April 1, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara to determine if President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship is constitutional. According to historians and the Court, this is the first time a sitting president has attended oral arguments at the nation's highest court.(Al Drago, Getty Images)

[Update: The Hard-Right-dominated Supreme Court has trashed Trump's birthright citizenship order

President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass legislation in the wake of his loss at the high court, claiming that "No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary!"

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said children born to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily in the United States satisfy the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

A majority of justices found that birthright citizenship is constitutionally protected under the 14th Amendment. Amending the Constitution would require support from two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the nation's state legislatures.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said Congress could establish exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to people in the country illegally.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, and Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, two Trump allies, introduced legislation last year to ban birthright citizenship. The bill acknowledges the right of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment but narrows the definition of persons who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States.

What is 'birth tourism'?

"Birth tourism" is the name authorities give to the practice of parents traveling briefly to the United States to deliver children so the child obtains U.S. citizenship.

The number of babies born to birth tourists in the U.S. is highly disputed because the government does not track the figures. Estimates from researchers have varied from as high as 39,000 annually to as low as 2,000.

But a group of 140 university professors told the Supreme Court in a written argument that birth tourism "accounts for an infinitesimal proportion of children" born in the U.S.

Republicans and Democrats disagree about the importance of acting to curtail birth tourism, with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, previously calling it a "blatant abuse of our immigration laws" while Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, saying it was a "pretty marginal issue."

Johnson suggests new route for SAVE America Act

In the same interview July 5, Johnson said that he will attempt to pass the SAVE America Act, a Trump-backed election reform bill, through budget reconciliation.

"We're going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill, and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate, and finally to the president's desk," Johnson said.

The bill and other House business stalled after a group of Republicans, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, revolted on a procedural motion that led to the chamber being put to recess.

"I just decided it was best to send everybody home to go celebrate July Fourth in their districts. We'll come back, gather everybody together," Johnson said on Fox News. "The big urgency is to get SAVE America passed. The president has that as a top priority, and so do I."

The strict rules in the Senate around budget reconciliation have already prevented the bill from being a part of previous reconciliation bills. Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled earlier this year that the bill violated rules that prevent "extraneous" legislation from being included in the budget process under reconciliation, according to CNN.

City of Richmond, California: A Pioneer in Speaking the Truth About Palestine

A California city that has long been a leading progressive bastion is now leading the changing American landscape on Israel's genocidal crimes and the fake issue of antisemitism that is brandished to shut down any criticism of Israel.

Richmond, California, is a city led by democratic socialist Mayor Eduardo Martinez. Local issues have receded in the background and conversations are more intensely focused on Israel's genocidal war in Palestine's Gaza and West Bank districts. Typical of the Zionist reaction to ANY criticism of an ultra-religious fundamentalist racist ethnic cleanser Zionist government, local Zionists are accusing Mayor Martinez of Jew-hating (under the stale all-encompassing buckshot accusation of antisemitism) because his criticism of Israel is illegitimate and antisemitic.

Stephen London, a dual US-Israel national and a Zionist resident of Richmond complained that the city became the first in the country to pass a ceasefire resolution over Palestine. London's complaint questioned why city leadership is focused on a war thousands of miles away, ignoring in passing that his own concerns, as resident of Richmond, California, also appear obsessed with defending a criminal Zionist regime thousands of miles away. Which raises the eternal question of loyalty of Zionist citizens around the world to their own country or to the Zionist colony in Palestine.

Why is AIPAC (America-Israel Political action Committee), for example, allowed to operate and subvert American domestic policies on both sides of the political divide - it pays off both democrat and republican candidates to secure the winner's support for the criminal Zionist regime thousands of miles away, at the rate of several billion dollars worth of grants and weapons per year.


Vice Mayor at large Eduardo Martinez at a news conference in Richmond, California.

London said his family lives in Israel and that he has visited the country a few times, including volunteering on a kibbutz (for those who don't know what a Kibbtuz is: A Communist-Socialist collective village whose economy operates on the soviet Sovkhoz and Kolkhoz model of communist villages). London admits that he keeps the Israeli citizenship out of ideological obligation toward Zionism (He hasn't been to Israel in several years because he fears for his life), but also the American citizenship just in case Zionists have to flee their declining colony.

The resolution, passed in October 2023, declared Richmond's solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and accused Israel of carrying out "a campaign of ethnic cleansing and collective punishment," according to a page on the city's website.

The resolution became a flashpoint for Zionist residents of Richmond, like London, who falsely argue (per the traditional intellectual dishonesty of Zionist propaganda) that thr resolution was aimed more at defending the Palestinian militant group Hamas than criticizing Israeli policies.

In August 2025, Mayor Martinez participated in the People's Conference for Palestine in Detroit, where he wore a hat that said "DD TT IDF," an acronym for "death, death to the IDF." (IDF stands for Israeli Death Forces). The mayor also spoke at the conference, where he compared himself to Palestinians, saying he understood the Palestinians' struggle because he was bullied as a child.

"If Palestine were a schoolyard playground, I would be a Palestinian, and that part of me, that part of me that couldn't endure the abuse anymore, would be Hamas," Martinez said.

In one of his posts, Martinez said in reference to the terrorist attack against Zionists in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, "RIP to all of the victims of Israel's false flag attack. The hero that disarmed the attacker was a Syrian-born Muslim man. That doesn't help the narrative that Israel is trying so hard to push." The same post accused Israel of "trying to manufacture fear and hate." Another post said that "the root cause of antisemitism is the behavior of Israel & Israelis," and was captioned, "They know it. We know it. Everybody knows it..."

Again, faced with the brutal truth and reality of what Israel is doing in Palestine - apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide all have been documented by every Human Rights organization - Zionist propaganda declares Martinez's posts as "dangerously antisemitic, deeply offensive, and wholly unacceptable — particularly coming from a sitting mayor, and reflects "a consistent and deeply troubling disregard for the safety and dignity of Jewish people."

The problem for Zionist propaganda is that it proposes such extremist views that it puts itself in corner from which it cannot escape. To Zionist propagandists, Jew=Israeli= =Zionist. You can't criticize one without criticizing the other two. 

If you criticize Zionism, you are immediately tagged as an antisemite who hates Jews, when this is not necessarily true. And when you shield your Zionism behind Judaism, you are now using Judaism as a human shield against any critique of Zionism.

Furthermore, by equating all three terms - Jew=Israeli=Zionist - any terrorist or militant who has a bone to grind with Zionism (but not against Judaism) is automatically labeled a Jew-hating antisemite. 

Richmond, California, was the first California city to pass a resolution in support of the Palestinian people. The Richmond City Council also accused Israel of "ethnic cleansing."

Residents of Richmond say the mayor is standing on the right side of history by opposing colonial Zionism. Martinez is preparing for his re-election bid and is aligned with both the Democratic Socialists of America and the Richmond Progressive Alliance (RPA), a powerful coalition that has had influence over politics in the city for years.

A Jewish LGBTQ+ leader in the Bay Area, Tyler Gregory, warned that the Jewish community has to strike a balance between being "really careful not to cry wolf" and keeping the public's attention on the issue. 

Pro-Palestine activists hold banners during a protest commemorating Nakba Day - The commemoration of the 1948 ethnic cleansing of Palestine by foreign Zionist settlers - on May 15, 2025, in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The questions raised in Richmond regarding the ongoing Zionist rape of Palestine are witnessing a sharp rise in the political discussions leading to the midterms. The US-Israel war against Iran is a corollary of the central question of our time: The Question of Palestine. The question on many Americans' minds is: Should we continue to blindly support the last foreign colonial occupation and abuse of an indigenous country? Hasn't Israel run out of arguments (biblical garbage and otherwise) to justify its barbarity as a foreign colonial rapist and occupier of an indigenous people? When enough is enough? 

Across the country, the Question of Palestine refuses to disappear from the conversation as much as Zionists like London wish it to disappear because "it is thousands of miles away". Isn't Iran thousands of miles away too? Why has the US assumed the task of being a bouncer for the rapist Zionists? The Zionists cannot have it both ways: Either Israel is a foreign settler that has no business implanting itself in a region where it does not belong, or it should find civilized ways to live as a polite guest who should be grateful for having been initially  welcomed as refugees from an antisemitic West by the Palestinians? Instead, the crazy Zionists are trying to erase Palestine from the maps and erase everything that pertains to a Palestinian identity, not to mention the daily physical extermination of Palestinian men, women, and children by rabid fundamentalist Jewish barbarians squatting and stealing Palestinian lands. 

Palestinian Physician Still Held without Charges by Genocidal Zionist Colony in Palestine

The colonial racist land thief and genocidal ethnic cleanser of Palestine, the "Blight Unto Nations", continues to rampage across illegally-occupied Palestine. Doctors, reporters, nurses, women, children, maternities, schools .... wherever and however they can cull the indigenous Palestinian population to reduce it significantly from its current 50% of the population of historic Palestine (the other 50% consisting of recently-arrived foreign western settlers), the desperate Zionists are doing everything barbaric they can imagine.

That Israel has to resort to such a level of savagery and violence is a symptom of desperation: The prospects of the colonial dream of a paradisiac Bronze-Age-resurrected garbage fantasy in the Near East is fading, slowly but inexorably. Just like all other colonial mass murderers before them did discover after a while, the big lies of blooming the desert, of taming and civilizing the indigenous savages, of bringing democracy, albeit for Jews only, mind you and not for the Palestinians, etc. have soured quickly, over a couple of generations, as expected. The more desperate the Israelis are at contemplating their failure and their grim future, the more violent they become. 

The historical record tells us that when invading colonizers first arrive to a land somewhere around the globe, the indigenous inhabitants at first see them as an exotic curiosity. They most often welcome them, let them stay and establish good relations with them. The "visitors" are typically few and do not pose a threat. But, as history has amply documented, very soon, the colonizers' real insidious intentions began seeping through. They want land. The build their own entrenched settlement. They want exclusive rights to native products. They want free or cheap labor. They want the natives to abandon their culture and religion and adopt those "much better" of the colonizers. Forced conversions, mistreatment (e.g. chopping off arms and legs in punishment, floggings), rapes, killings, burning villages and cultures to clear land for more foreign settlers and for mass production enterprises (plantations, factories...).

Naturally, the natives begin to refuse to cooperate and a budding rebellion starts. The colonizers bring a small brigade of soldiers, ostensibly to protect themselves, but in reality to brutally repress the indigenous owners of the land. 

We've been through this scenario so many times in the history of humankind that it's become a generic script, a universal manual of "How to Colonize" other people. The interaction then turns into battles, according to the colonizers between the "Forces of Good" (i.e. colonizing invading foreign settlers) and the "Forces of Evil" (i.e. the terrorist natives defending themselves against the invaders), while in the narrative of the colonized, it is a war of liberation to end the oppression. It generally, though not always, ends with the natives recovering their land and their freedom.

Israel is no different.

Jailed Gaza hospital chief in life-threatening condition, rights group says


Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safia, appears via videolink at the Israeli Supreme Court hearing in Jerusalem, June 10, 2026 [Reuters]
Elis Gjevori
Sun, July 5, 2026 

The son of a Palestinian doctor held by Israel without charge issues an urgent appeal for his father’s release, citing severe abuse and signs of torture after more than 555 days in prison.

The son of a prominent Palestinian doctor abducted and held by Israel without charge has issued an urgent appeal for his father's release, warning that his health has sharply deteriorated after more than 555 days in prison, as a rights group warned that his life was in danger.

Elyas Abu Safia, the son of Dr Hussam Abu Safia, said in a video message on Sunday that his father, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, showed signs of severe abuse after Israeli authorities transferred him to solitary confinement in a maximum-security prison.

"The day before yesterday, the lawyer Nasser Odeh managed to visit my father, where he told us painful details about this visit," said Elyas, who is also a doctor.

"My father was unable to breathe. My father was unable to speak," he said, adding: "His face was disfigured from the marks of torture and pain, and the blood he endured inside the prison, especially after the last court session held in Jerusalem."

Israeli forces arrested Abu Safia at work on December 27, 2024, as they intensified their attacks on northern Gaza's healthcare system as part of the genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. Two months earlier, an Israeli drone attack killed another of his sons, Ibrahim, at the entrance of the hospital where he worked.

Elyas accused Arab and Muslim leaders of abandoning his father.

"You deprived us even of your voices, your solidarity and your support, which should have been there from the start of the detention," he said.

"But sadly, your silence is a betrayal and a crime, and complicity in torturing my father and the hostages inside Israeli prisons," he added.

'The most shocking testimony'

Physicians for Human Rights Israel warned that Abu Safiya's life is in immediate danger after his transfer to the Rakefet section of Nitzan prison.

The group said lawyer Nasser Odeh visited Abu Safia on July 2 and documented severe injuries, signs of assault, difficulty breathing and repeated loss of consciousness. It said guards brought him into the visit with his hands and feet bound and surrounded him with masked officers.

Odeh also saw fresh bruises and injuries on Abu Safiya's head, around his eyes, ears and neck. The wounds were so severe that the lawyer struggled to recognise him, the group said.

"The information we received raises serious and immediate concerns for Abu Safiya's life. The lawyer's testimony is among the most shocking we have heard since the beginning of the war: a man detained without charge tells his lawyer that he believes they will kill him, after he arrived for the visit injured, suffering from difficulty breathing, and on the verge of losing consciousness," Naji Abbas, director of the Prisoners and Detainees Department at Physicians for Human Rights, told the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Israeli authorities have not filed charges against Abu Safia. They classified him as an "unlawful combatant", a designation Israel has used to hold Palestinians for prolonged periods without trial.

Physicians for Human Rights has demanded his release, along with other imprisoned Palestinian doctors. In March, United Nations experts also called on Israel to free Abu Safia immediately and ensure he receives medical care.

He is one of 14 Palestinian doctors from Gaza currently held by Israel without charge.

[Updated] Sexist MAGA Crucifies Justice Amy C. Barrett, Adoptive Mother of Black Haitian Children

Let me start with congratulations to the dumb MAGA racists. On Birthright Citizenship, please accept my sincerest middle finger:

The illiterate ignorant and dumb peasants of MAGA cannot tolerate dissent. They live in a totalitarian universe - just as exists in North Korea, China, Russia and other places where the "leader" is an infallible god.

Any deviation from the will of the Dear Leader Donald DUMB promptly sends the dissenter from the official dogma to the gallows tree.

In this case, it is a judge, a Justice on the Supreme Court no less, who was appointed by the Dumb-in-Chief himself. She - Amy Coney Barrett - is far, far more intelligent and smart than Donald Dumb's riffraff MAGA sewer dwellers. So just like the barbarian newly Christianized Romans of ancient Egypt who murdered (by stripping her in public and whipping her with seashell whips then dislocating her body, all in the name of Christ) Hypatia of Alexandria, the renown and celebrated female philosopher, mathematician and astronomer who refused to convert, Trump's MAGA mob is now assassinating Justice Barrett because she did her job in good conscience. If they could drag her to the National Mall, torture her and crucify her, they wouldn't hesitate.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett faces MAGA sexist and anti-Catholic attacks for her birthright citizenship position on the latest Supreme Court ruling.



An unprecedented virulent attack is being mounted by hard-right extremist MAGA conservatives against Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett after she voted to uphold birthright citizenship. In trying to MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN, birthright citizenship is one of White Supremacist Donald Dumb's tools in his arsenal to limit immigration to the US from what he calls Shithole Countries, i.e. essentially all countries on earth except Slovenia, Norway and even Russia. 

Barrett concurred with Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the court's three liberal justices in striking down the executive order signed by Trump restricting birthright citizenship. Although Roberts and Kavanaugh are right-wing conservative justices, Barrett's female gender and Catholic faith has made her the object of particularly virulent attacks by Trump's mob (largely white supremacist protestant).

The imbecile from racist slavery state South Carolina, Rep. Nancy Mace, has called to "impeach rogue, activist judges," adding in an unveiled direct threat, "We're looking at you Amy Coney Barrett". Mace continued that "The 14th Amendment was written for freed slaves. Not for birth tourism. The men who wrote it knew the difference. But apparently the female justices on the Supreme Court do not".

Hypocrite sexist and racist conservatives in the US are constitutional "literalists" (textualists who argue that the constitution is a static document that should be implemented "as is" without any interpretation) when it is convenient for them, but become stalwart "living constitutionalists" when convenient as well, who assert that the document is amenable to evolve by interpretation to address modern societal values and new issues not envisioned by the Framers.

For example, MAGA conservatives argue for the literality of the constitution when it comes to the second amendment (The right to bear arms) and refuse to admit that it was written specifically by the Framers to allow the American militia to fight off the English during the Revolution, and not to allow every jackass redneck in Texas, Tennessee and other sordid backward slavery states to own an AR-15 and go around killing other Americans. 

Another hillbilly polygamous Mormon moron MAGA Senator from the State of Utah, Mike Lee, mocked Barrett by saying, "If a woman gives birth at the Supreme Court, is her baby entitled to automatic status as a justice?" Hahahhaa... what a lame imbecile. Mr. Lee, if a woman gives birth in the capitol of Salt Lake City, does the baby automatically become a moron Mormon?

Extremist far-right and virulent xenophobe racist Trump ally Laura Loomer sounded an apocalyptic end-of-times warning (typical of numskull ultra-religious fundamentalist evangelicals). She said that by voting against the president's birthright citizenship executive order Barrett was "effectively sending our country to the grave." Could any criminally-minded racist idiot be any more dramatic? Yes, Loomer is an amateur when it comes to the height of American conservative barbarity.

Hard-right extremist and woman-hater conservative Matt Walsh called Barrett a "DEI hire, little better than Kentanji Jackson" who is an African American Justice on the Supreme Court. Since Barrett is white, she is a "little better" than Jackson in Walsh's KKK mind. Note that Barrett was appointed to the Supreme Court by none else that Walsh's white supremacist hero, one Donald Dumb who has led a crusade against DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion). Donald Dumb has implemented his own DEI, namely (Dumbification, Empty-headedness and Intolerance/Iniquity) policies.

Walsh is not shy about attacking ALL AMERICAN WOMEN: "The worst Supreme Court Justices of all time have all been women... That's just a fact. Republican presidents should take the hint."

And I suggest that the women of America should also take the hint and deal with it at the ballot box in November. Donald Dumb's MAGA universe hates women and wants them  locked up in the kitchen, barefoot, making babies and not allowed to vote because 1- they are low-IQ (according to the Great Moron himself), and 2- to increase the demographics of inbred white-trash American imbeciles.

And adding Evangelical "divine bullshit" to the racist sexist chowder pot, an Arizona Pastor by the name of Dale Partridge and whose brain is no different from that of a Taliban Mullah or an Iranian Ayatollah (except for the name of his religion) posted one of the scintillating brilliant ideas that actually made America great, namely that "the Garden of Eden shows that women are by nature more easily deceived" and that "men are designed to rule." Problem solved, fucking God has spoken in his garbage Torah. End of discussion. "No more women judges or politicians," he solemnly concluded, showing a picture of Barrett.

What really peeves even more these Neanderthal evangelical white supremacist racists is that Barrett is the adoptive mother of two Black children from Haiti. And that is a mortal sin for the barbarian Christians of Protestant America. What is worse than being Black, Barrett's children are from Haiti, the country whose immigrants "eat cats and dogs" according to the criminal felon and idiot Donald Dumb.

Barrett's Catholic faith does not help her either. Catholics are "papists" and the latest row between Donald Dumb and Pope Leo has cast Barrett as an accomplice of the Pope against the US Great Moron.

What is uncannily disturbing is that two other white male justices, Roberts and Kavanaugh, wrote the ruling, but you wouldn't hear a slight condemnation of them by the MAGA herd of buffaloes. They are MALES and they are WHITE. That is as close to the racist sexist barbarian Evangelical God as anyone can be, and therefore they are left alone.

===========================================

And to demonstrate the savagery of MAGA, now foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs because the SUPREME COURT just sang in chorus with the Founders, the Framers, the Fathers and all the white mercantile traitors to their king and country of England:

O Come, All Ye Tourists like us, bring thy pregnant women to this lawless land and give the US citizenship to thy children, just like all our "tourist" forefathers who arrived here illegally between 1620 and 1776, murdered all the natives, and gave themselves the said citizenship by betraying their king and their country of origin because they didn't want to pay taxes... just as we still do today. We stole this country from its native indigenous citizens, and now we want to be the only ones here. We smashed the doors walking in and now we are building walls to prevent others from coming in.

WARNING TO FOREIGN  TOURISTS VISITING THE US:  As part of your visa application, you may have to submit yourself to being sterilized at US embassies, consulates or points of entry so as not to become pregnant and give your child the US citizenship. The sterilization method is, however, very safe and documented by the German Nazi practices of sterilizing "unwanted" people. That is at least what Donald Dumb's MAGA are suggesting! You can have the American bullshit Dream as long as you agree to "voluntarily" become infertile.

Sterilizing foreigners, dissolving the US. MAGA eyes birthright next steps

Updated Wed, July 1, 2026

Impeaching judges, sterilizing foreign visitors, dissolving the union – some prominent conservatives suggested extreme measures could be called for in the wake of a Supreme Court decision upholding birthright citizenship.

The court found that Trump's executive order last year targeting birthright citizenship is illegal under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which states "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

The ruling sparked widespread outrage on the right, which has rallied around President Donald Trump's push to restrict the constitutional provision granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the country.

Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of The Federalist online magazine, wrote in a social media post that there are "several ways forward" after the ruling. Among them: Adding more justices to the Supreme Court and mandating "sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry."

Davis also mentioned dissolving the union, writing "A nation which can't even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn't a nation."

Jack Posobiec, another conservative media figure, said in a social media post that "The court never said we can't mandate spot pregnancy tests for foreigners."

Many on the right lashed out at conservative justices who joined the majority decision.

"Impeach rogue, activist judges," Rep. Nancy Mace, R-South Carolina, wrote on social media. "We're looking at you Amy Coney Barrett."

Conservative [moronic dumb blonde] podcaster Megyn Kelly also slammed Barrett. "I'm sick of Barrett. I'm sick of this bull***t by Barrett, I gotta be honest," Kelly said on her show.The outpouring of anger on the right prompted pushback from some conservatives. "The right-wing meltdown over the citizenship case is shockingly dishonest," wrote Gregg Nunziata, an aide for Secretary of State Marco Rubio when he was in the Senate and now the executive director of the Society for the Rule of Law, a group founded by conservative legal figures from previous Republican administrations.

"The ruling preserves the status quo," added Nunziata. "The majority landed where most conservative scholarship has been."

Trump has pushed a hardline immigration agenda centered around mass deportations, but targeting birthright citizenship may have been his most aggressive move. It clashed with how the Constitution has long been understood and sought to dramatically redefine who gets to be a citizen. Trump was deeply invested in the case, attending Supreme Court arguments, a first for a sitting president.

The president described birthright citizenship as an "anchor" wrapped around the country's neck, but Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said, "Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights − to freely participate in our political community."

"The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' We keep that promise today," Roberts added.

The loss had some conservatives lamenting about the path forward. Vice President JD Vance, appearing on Fox News, said the ruling was "disappointing" and a "major, major mistake" but said it had a "silver lining."

It showed there is significant support among the justices for ending birthright citizenship, which Vance said is "hanging by a thread." Four of the justices said Trump's executive order didn't violate the 14th Amendment, although one said it violated a 1952 immigration law.

"We have to keep fighting because we actually have an opportunity to reverse this decision, just as we've reversed so many bad decisions throughout the generations," Vance said.

Steve Bannon, a prominent MAGA media figure, opened his podcast on June 30 by declaring it was a "day that will live in infamy" but said the fight wasn't over.

"You know what we're going to do? We're going to get up and dust ourselves off and we're going to go to war," Bannon said.
