Like the US, Israel's Circle of Friends Shrinks to Insignificant Pacific Islands

At the UN, the insignificant and bribed Marshall Islands has always been the only "nation" to vote with the US, while the rest of some 200 countries vote against.

Since genocidal Israel has now even been shunned by its own midwife, the crooks of England, it has very few friends left around the world. After decades of unchallenged Zionist propaganda that owned the press, the media and Hollywood, the freedom of access to information now made possible by the new technologies has now exposed the Zionist lies. All the myths fed to a credulous and captive world about the creation of the Zionist monster in the Near East have now crumbled.

The barbary and savagery of how Israel was created some 80 years ago - long occulted and distorted to favor the Zionist racist colonial narrative - are repeating themselves in Palestine today, with the difference that the world now can watch live the ethnic cleansing, the terror, the savagery and inhumanity by foreign Zionist Jews against the indigenous Palestinian people.

Even the colonial English crooks, who midwifed the Zionist colony in Palestine by violating their fiduciary mandate over Palestine and selling it to rich European Zionist bankers, have now had enough barbarity hanging on their conscience.

The colonial criminal Zionist entity in Palestine perpetuated the lie that it, the criminal invader, rapist and land thief of Palestine, was the victim of its own real Palestinian victims whose legitimate and desperate efforts at liberating themselves and their land were tagged as "terrorism". Now the tide has turned. Israel is now indeed the victim of its own racism and barbarity. Israel now should now be placed on all decent countries' lists of Terrorist States, and the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) regime against Israel should no longer be prohibited but encouraged and implemented. What happened to the racist Apartheid South African white supremacist Afrikaner regime should be repeated in Palestine against the racist Apartheid Jewish supremacist Zionist regime of Israel.

The rift between America and the Zionist colony on one hand, and the rest of the world on the other, has left both without any friends, except those they can still buy, bully or bribe into shunning human decency and supporting barbarity. It seems as if Israel and the US are building a new front of such weighty (but insignificant and desperate for money) countries like Zambia, Moldova, Nauru, and Fiji who avert their eyes from the mass killing fields in Palestine in exchange for pity, money and cheap used weapons. Indeed, Israel became the first country in the world to recognize the self-declared banana Republic of Somaliland.

Less than ten countries are now on the "Righteous Among the Nations" list, while some 200 countries are now officially Antisemitic Jew-hating Goyim. I warn these tiny insignificant nations that sleeping with a colonial rapist might suggest to the latter that your island or petite country could be next on Yahweh's expanding Promised Land. I heard that there was once one Jew on Nauru; beware the Zionists who might one day claim Nauru as part of the Promised Land, invade your island and start building settlement for their Chosen Ones.

An ambassador in Ljubljana, but not in London: Israel’s foreign policy shifts away from longstanding allies

Sun, September 13, 2026

Gideon Saar smiled as he cut the blue ribbon outside the newly inaugurated embassy of Nauru in Jerusalem. Israel's foreign minister described the tiny Pacific island nation of some 12,000 people as "one of Israel's greatest friends in the international community."

Two days later, it was Slovenia's turn, as Saar cut the ribbon on a new embassy in Ljubljana. He praised the new center-right government for standing by Israel in the European Union, especially after the country had previously been one of Israel's harshest critics. A large business delegation was brought along to show appreciation.

There was no such celebration in London, where Israel faced one of its sharpest diplomatic rebukes in years: a coordinated move by the United Kingdom and 11 other countries to impose sanctions and trade restrictions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel has had no ambassador in London for nearly a year. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intended envoy, his chief of staff Tzachi Braverman, was barred from leaving Israel due to a criminal investigation, leaving the post vacant.

The split-screen moment reflects a broader pattern in Israel's foreign relations: As traditional partners in Western Europe grow distant, losing patience with the settlement expansion and surging violence in the West Bank, the right-wing government is cultivating ties with smaller or what it sees as more ideologically aligned countries, redirecting its diplomatic energy to other arenas.

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband tied the new measures, announced in parliament on Tuesday, directly to Israel's decision to push ahead with the E1 settlement project, which critics say would cut the West Bank in two and close off the possibility of a contiguous future Palestinian state.

But the move is part of a longer-term shift. In September 2025, Britain, Canada, France and more than a dozen other Western states recognized Palestinian statehood. And this June, the UK, Canada, France, Norway, Australia and New Zealand announced a wave of coordinated sanctions targeting individuals and networks accused of financing and enabling settler violence.

Some of the states announced additional punitive measures: France barred far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country, Italy opened an investigation into National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over the treatment of detained activists, including Italians, after Israel intercepted an aid flotilla on its way to Gaza. The Netherlands declared both Ben Gvir and Smotrich "persona non grata" and approved its own ban on imports of settlement goods.

Not every proposal has succeeded, and Israel has so far managed to stall broader actions from the EU. For years, Israel used Viktor Orban's government in Hungary to block EU measures. Now, following a change in leadership in Budapest, Slovenia has effectively taken Hungary's place as Israel's representative in Brussels. A push by France and Sweden for an EU ban on settlement trade was stalled, as were efforts to expel Israel from the EU's flagship Horizon research program.

Dr. Rémi Daniel, from Israel's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) says the one comfort for Israel is that Germany and Italy have so far stuck to statements rather than joining the sanctions. "They are the most important EU member states because they have the power to block plans at the European level," he said.

But the trend was still concerning, he said, because looking at the balance of power within the EU, "the swinging center is going more against Israel."

Israel's response to the new sanctions – and its attitude towards one of its oldest allies in general - has been openly combative.

Saar swiftly announced he would close the British Consulate General in Jerusalem, end UK training for Palestinian Authority security forces, and ban entry to a dozen British officials and lawmakers. "The British move is morally distorted and constitutes a blatant interference in the affairs of a sovereign state and its electoral process," Saar said Tuesday.

Netanyahu labeled the UK the "Islamic Republic of Britain" on a podcast last month and has accused French President Emanuel Macron of fueling antisemitism by recognizing a Palestinian state.

While relations with some Western allies cool, and even the friendly Trump administration in the United States appears to be growingly frustrated with settler violence, Israel has been pouring energies into other regions and redrawing its map of relationships.

Declaring 2026 "The Year of South America," Saar has toured Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay and Colombia and restored relations with Bolivia, Chile and Honduras. He also opened a communication channel with Venezuela for the first time since 2009, sending rescue teams to assist with earthquake relief last month.

New Israeli embassies opened in Zambia, Estonia, Moldova, Fiji and Slovenia. And Israel became the first country in the world to recognize the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent state. Somaliland then opened an embassy in Jerusalem, where fewer than 10 countries have embassies, including the US. Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica and the Democratic Republic of Congo have declared their intent to join the list.

Daniel Shek, a former Israeli ambassador to France, argues that this pivot comes at a real cost and says the government is damaging relationships built over decades on shared interests in economy, science, culture, security.

"They are sacrificing the alliances with the most significant countries," he said. "If Saar thinks the Paraguayan economy can replace France as a partner for export and import, good for him."

The countries involved in the sanctions, he said, are not ideologically hostile to Israel, just its actions under Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich. "France, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, are friendly countries fed up with this Israeli government's behavior."

Shek notes that the sanctions target the settlements, and not Israel itself, and that their practical bite, for now, is limited. Still, he says, they should not be underestimated.

"Once sanctions have been imposed, it is significant," he said. "There are things that have been opened and cannot be put back in the bottle."

Florida Woman, 41, Charged After Allegedly Setting a Stranger on Fire at Gas Station, Causing ‘Horrific Burns’ on Victim

Eleanor Crawford is facing attempted murder and arson charges

Florida resident Eleanor Crawford, 41, was charged with attempted murder and arson after allegedly setting a stranger on fire with gasoline at a gas station in St. Petersburg

Police said the victim, also 41, suffered serious second-degree burns after her vehicle became engulfed in flames

Authorities said Crawford did not know the victim

A Florida woman has been charged with attempted murder and arson after allegedly setting a stranger on fire at a gas station.

The incident occurred at a Mobil gas station in St. Petersburg on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 10, according to a news release from the St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD).

Police identified the suspect as 41-year-old Eleanor Crawford and said she walked up to another woman, also 41, "and deliberately ignited gasoline with a lighter."

The victim's vehicle was engulfed in flames and she was "seriously injured," suffering second-degree burns, per SPPD. The victim was transported to Tampa General Hospital for treatment.

SPPD said that Crawford, who was arrested nearby, and the victim did not know one another and that the motive for the alleged attack remains unclear.

SPPD did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Crawford was subsequently charged with attempted murder and arson, both of which are felonies, according to public Pinellas County court records.

It was not immediately clear whether Crawford had retained an attorney at this time.

According to Fox 13 Tampa Bay, police said that Crawford initially approached the victim and asked to borrow her phone, which the victim allowed her to use.

Crawford then asked the victim for money. The victim refused, at which point Crawford allegedly set the gas nozzle on fire with a lighter, according to the outlet.

Assistant Police Chief Mike Kovacsev described the victim's injuries as "horrific" during a press conference, excerpts of which were shared by Fox 13.

"It's kind of a unique case, because you don't see anything like this — especially something that results in such horrific burns," Kovacsev said.

"But [police] went out there, they worked with the fire department, and luckily they were able to get [the victim] stabilized, and she's going to make it," he added.

A witness who said he saw the incident unfold while parked nearby described the scene as a "fireball" while speaking to Fox 13.

He said he then helped the victim into his truck and called 911.

Crawford is being held on a bond of $350,000 and is awaiting trial, per public Pinellas County arrest records.

How White Americans Swap-Smuggle Guns & Drugs for Gun Manufacturers and Drug Cartels


I asked AI: What is Volume of Drugs on US Streets since Trump's Latest war on drugs?
AI response:
Evidence is mixed and contested. While the Trump administration cites a 22% drop in synthetic opioid deaths in 2025 and significant reductions in certain seizure data, independent experts and federal data suggest these metrics do not prove a clear reduction in the overall volume of drugs available on U.S. streets.

Fentanyl and Opioids
CDC data shows fentanyl-related deaths fell from 48,913 in 2024 to 38,084 in 2025, and the DEA reports that only 29% of seized fentanyl pills contained a lethal dose, down from 76% two years earlier. However, a study in Science notes that the fentanyl crisis was already turning the corner before Trump took office, with death rates plunging by one-third between mid-2023 and late 2024. Experts attribute this decline to a complex mix of factors, including the civil war within the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, the widespread availability of the overdose antidote naloxone, and potential disruptions in supply chains, rather than solely U.S. enforcement actions.


Cocaine and Sea Trafficking
Claims that the administration cut drug flow by sea by 97–98% are unsupported by federal data. A Washington Post-revealed DEA evaluation concluded that the military boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific did not produce an appreciable reduction in cocaine prices or availability in the U.S. While maritime interdiction disrupted specific routes, traffickers adapted by using large shipping containers and land routes, keeping cocaine widely available. SAMHSA data confirms that cocaine consumption rates in the US have remained statistically unchanged between 2021 and 2025.
----------------------------------
Which means that the demand by white America for cocaine remains unchanged, which implies that the supply of drugs also remains unchanged, and that Trump's "warrior-like" killings of small boat operators is mostly intended as a propaganda ploy. 

The fact that the gun smuggler below is a white American police officer suggests a systemic network of guns versus drugs smuggling between white American officialdom and the Latin drug cartels, and that all the drug-fighting propaganda by Trump is nothing but a cover for his Brown-skin culling racist campaign and machinery  to "bleach" America white. I bet you many of the Trump Admin officials, high-placed buddies, financial criminal advisors... are cocaine snorters. who hate the very drug smugglers who supply them with their fixes.

Arizona Corrections Officer Accused of Trafficking Weapons to Mexican Cartel
Adriana Guerrero
Sat, September 12, 2026 

Yanet Dowden

US citizen Yanet Dowden was arrested near the Arizona border by Mexican police for allegedly transporting arms and ammunition for the Sinaloa Cartel.

A US citizen was arrested near the Arizona border by Mexican police on Friday. She was allegedly transporting arms and ammunition for the Sinaloa Cartel, Fox 10 Phoenix says.

Yanet Dowden, 22, was detained on September 11, 2026, as part of patrols conducted on the border crossing between San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, and San Luis, Arizona. The authorities claim that she acted as a logistics operator for the Los Mayos branch of the cartel.

5,445 rounds of 7.62×39 mm ammunition were seized from the back of her Jeep Wrangler, stored below the seat covers. This type of ammo is utilized in AK-type rifles. Some sources also refer to firearms. The officials estimate the value of the ammunition and the car at 1.65 million pesos and consider the raid a strike against the ammunition supply chain of the cartel in northern Mexico.

Arizona Department of Corrections ID card, which identifies her as Correctional Officer II, a mid-rank, was found in her possession. Authorities are now checking the ID's legitimacy and her employment status.

The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry, which employs more than 10,000 people and operates 13 state prisons, did not comment.

The Navy Secretariat conducted the raid with assistance from the Secretariat of National Defense, the National Guard, the Attorney General's Office, and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection. Dowden was informed of her rights and transferred to a federal prosecutor to decide her legal status and whether to open an investigation, Arizona's Family says.

In the American Violence Dream Jungle, Half a Million People Disappear Every Year


Check the 2025 NCIC Missing Person and Unidentified Person Statistics freport at:
https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/2025-ncic-missing-person-and-unidentified-person-statistics.pdf/view

Make sure to read the "Where Is the Buzz" story below on how a white trash American woman harassed a "brown-skinned" father because his daughter looks "white".

According to the CNN report below, about a half-million people were reported missing last year in the United States - that is 0.15% of the entire population - including those who may have left voluntarily, missing minors, kidnapping victims and others, according to the FBI's Crime Information Center.

The masked cowards of the ICE-GESTAPO stormtrooper force are nothing new to the inborn violent fabric of American society. Thousands of people get killed, kidnapped, raped, ransomed, disappeared, etc. every day thanks to a society born in lawlessness, enslavement, mass murder and active ethnic cleansing, and which worships guns and weapons. We romanticize violence in our culture with such venerable institutions like Hollywood that glamorize criminals on the pedestal of heroes: the Wild West, the Italian Mafia brutes, Police vs. Bad people thrillers, etc...such that it is easy for dumb Americans to imitate the "art" of their superficial culture and seek notoriety in real life "like they do in movies and violent video games", by resorting to the traditions of violence that are inseparable from the American psyche.

And beneath the standard murderous violence of American culture lies a secondary level of physical macho violence exemplified by the way American police forces (from local sheriffs to state troopers and all the way up the rank and file of the FBI) present themselves to the American citizen: Bedecked with all sorts of military equipment that makes a simple cop look like a mounted medieval knight. Or the barbaric worship of athletes based solely on physical strength while intellectual skills are degraded as "nerdy" and boring. Never mind that the actual power of the American superpower did not come about from cowboys, athletes, oversized superheroes, cops or Mafia brutes, but rather from all the smart "nerds", overwhelmingly foreign-born immigrant scientists who developed the science and technology on which American power really rests. 

Yet, Americans are convinced they live in an "advanced" (with the subtext beneath that word implying civil and civilized) society, without ever questioning the criteria behind that false belief. Why? Because they are bombarded from the day they're born with mediocre education, targeted advertisements and brainwashing political "marketing" telling them that they live in the best place on earth, as long as they are conformist, submissive, obedient consumers of American-fabricated mythology. American citizens are no longer known as "citizens" except when they have to prove that "they have the right to live here". The phrase "American citizen" has been replaced by such market-driven coinage as "consumer", "patient", "client", "customer", "buyer", "seller", etc. depending on which hangman corporation is handling the torture and the brainwashing.

To outsiders, Americans appear like a large herd of tamed simple-minded buffaloes imported from the most savage boonies of the world and made to live in a large enclosure surrounded by corporate guards and mind-controlling freaks who feed them, but never let them out of the corral. They are told they are conditionally "free" as long as they stay inside. Any escapee from the corral is deemed unpatriotic and a traitor. Which explains why many Americans who dare leave the fake paradise to live outside discover the paucity of their lives inside the corral. How many times did I have to hear an American expat make the sad contrast between the superficial life they lead in the US and the emotionally and intellectually rich and satisfying life elsewhere.

Because of worldwide marketing of the "American Dream" hoax, many around the world are bamboozled into thinking they will find heaven on earth if they sneak inside the corral. Once inside, they are labeled as "aliens", "immigrants", "migrants", "foreigners" who are periodically culled from the herd (as is happening now) to make sure their "Euro-trash", "Socialist", "Communist", "Mideastern", "Asian" and otherwise "foreign"... ideas do not contaminate the "native" herd.

Why does CNN feel compelled to tell its readers that the missing person below is an "Asian woman"? Would CNN have emphasized that some other missing woman is "Caucasian woman" if she were a white woman? The insistence of Americans at always viewing people through the superficial lens of what they call "races" is the legacy of racism, colonialism, eugenics, barbaric Christianity and white supremacy. There is the "us" (implying but never stated "white") and then there are all the other "races" (Africans, Asians, Arabs, Hispanics...). "White" is the default American.  And since the "us" rule, there is no need to designate whites as whites; it is implied. No wonder also that the custodians of demographics in the US insist on every piece of garbage bureaucratic paper they make you fill that you specify your "race", which stands in sharp contrast with the real fact that the American population is one of bastards of every "race" on earth, thanks to a legacy of rapes by white settlers of native Indians, Black slaves, and the natural fornicating profligacy of the human species. 

How can anyone in the US, but also the world, claim to be of a "pure" race when history and science tell us that the extant human population now living on earth has, during its latest tens of thousands of years, been the product of raids, invasions, wars, migrations, conquests, and even incestuous relations, all of which almost always included rapes, kidnapping and herding of women, forced marriages, and enslavement....?

That is why when you send your DNA to one of the ancestry-exploring outfits, do not be surprised or shocked when they return the inevitable verdict: BASTARD. You have some Caucasian, some Asian, some Semitic, some Neanderthal, some African, some native Amerindian.... genes in you. You can bet the ranch on the fact that you, especially in the US, are the product of a razzia, a raid, a rape.... at some point in the history of your pedigree.

Community holds vigil for missing DC mother a week after she disappeared, her phones, wallet, car and dog left behind

A terrified family is pleading for help in finding a woman who has been missing for more than a week after she disappeared from her Washington, DC, home without her phones, wallet or car.

Antoinette Forbes, 53, a single mother of a young boy and a beloved sister, was last seen in person Friday, September 4, in the 3200 block of Nebraska Avenue NW, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, which has released a missing-person poster seeking the public's help.

Police haven't released any information about her son.

Forbes is an Asian woman, 5 feet 2 inches tall and about 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, police have said. Her clothing at the time is unknown.

Her family and friends say the circumstances of her disappearance are deeply alarming: Forbes' two phones, wallet, laptop and car were all left behind at her home, along with her dog, Max. The front door was unlocked.

"We're in absolute shock and horror," Forbes' older sister, Aileen Forbes, told CNN on Thursday. "We have our own very close-knit immediate family, but we have a very large extended family. We're horrified."

An investigation is active, police told CNN, declining to share further details.

Elizabeth Northrup, a friend of Forbes' with whom Aileen is staying as they search for her sister, told CNN they do not believe Forbes left her home voluntarily.

"(Law enforcement) certainly checked all the hospitals. We also have had friends check hospitals. She has not flown," Northrup said. "She did not walk out of that house and go voluntarily."

About a half-million people were reported missing last year in the United States, including those who may have left voluntarily, missing minors, kidnapping victims and others, according to the FBI's Crime Information Center.

Deciding how to proceed with searching for a missing person varies case to case, and sometimes race and news coverage play a role.

In the search for Antoinette Forbes, Aileen is holding onto hope and refuses to dwell on the worst-case scenarios, she said.

"I am trying really hard not to even conceive of that … because it would mean that my family is destroyed," she said. "I'm still trying very hard to keep the faith and the strong, harsh belief that I've had from the start that my sister is alive."

Friends, family and supporters of Forbes gathered for a vigil Saturday night at National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC, marking one week since her disappearance. Loved ones came together "in a show of love, strength and hope for her safe return," according to a flyer about the vigil.

Alison Williams, who said she has known Forbes for nearly 30 years, told CNN affiliate WJLA the disappearance has been harrowing.

"I know so many other families have gone through similar experiences. It doesn't change how difficult it is, not only for her friends, but especially for her family who are so desperate to see her back," she said.

'Something happened'

Just days before Antoinette Forbes was reported missing, the sisters had spoken on the phone as usual on weekend mornings, Aileen said.

She FaceTimed her sister on Saturday morning. They talked about their weekend and the week ahead — an ordinary conversation between two sisters who were especially close, she told CNN.

They planned to talk again the next day, but Aileen never heard from her, she said. As the days passed without contact, the family grew increasingly concerned. Aileen said she knew something was wrong when she reached out to her sister to tell her she had Covid-19 and did not receive a response.

"She's a very busy woman. She's got a full life," Aileen said. "Single mother, highly successful professional."

Forbes works as the associate vice president and head of public affairs at Eli Lilly, an American multinational pharmaceutical company, according to her LinkedIn page. The company is supporting police efforts to find her and encouraged anyone with information to contact police, a spokesperson told CNN.

"We are deeply concerned for Antoinette and are thinking of her and her family in this uncertain time," the spokesperson said. "We hope for her safe return."

But above all, Aileen said, her sister is a mother of a 10-year-old boy.

"(He) is Antoinette's life," Aileen said. "Antoinette is a 100% solid, reliable, intelligent, competent woman who is a devoted mother. She would never leave her son. She wouldn't leave her dog. She wouldn't leave her sister who needs her."

After days went by without a word, Aileen alerted family friends, Louis and Margarita, who live near Forbes' home and have a key, to check on her, she said. That was Monday, Labor Day.

Margarita texted Aileen after entering the home.

"I think something happened," the message said, according to Aileen.

"My heart stopped after I read that text," she said. Louis then called and described what they found.

Inside, according to her friends and family, were Forbes' two phones, including her work phone. So were her wallet and her laptop. Her car was in the driveway. Her dog, Max, was also at the house.

But Forbes was gone.

Police say investigation is active

Police declined to say whether Forbes' home had surveillance cameras and whether investigators had reviewed any footage from the home or canvassed neighbors for video.

For Aileen, the waiting has become its own kind of torment.

"Today it's getting harder," she said. "We're getting later into the week, and some of the dark reality is hitting me."

But Forbes' friends and family are not ready to give up hope, and they are asking anyone who may have seen something – however small – to come forward.

"We need to know what happened," Aileen told CNN. "Someone had to have seen something, anything, some small thing, seen her. We need the evidence that's going to enable the police to do their jobs and bring Antoinette home."

The police department is asking anyone with information about Forbes' whereabouts to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.

Rachel Clark, who says she has known Forbes for 13 years, shared a Facebook post appealing for help in finding her, saying those who love Forbes "are doing everything we can to keep her name, her face and her story in front of as many people as possible."

"She is brilliant, hilarious, feisty, fiercely loyal, and the kind of person who shows up for the people she loves," Clark wrote alongside photos of Forbes.

Clark told CNN she misses her friend and is "eager to bring her home."

In her post, Clark urged the public to look at photographs of Forbes and to contact police with any information that could help locate her.

"Antoinette, there are so many people looking for you and fighting for you," Clark wrote in the Facebook post.

"We love you. We miss you. And we will not stop until you are home."

Here is one story of how dumb ignorant white trash Americans are programmed to hybridize hate, racism, stupidity and violence into their being. Her "rationale", assuming we accept the stupid classification of Americans into "races" by their government, definitely applies to, say, JD Vance and his children: He a white Appalachian inbred Christian moron (who generically hates people of color), she a dark-skinned Hindu fundamentalist (who generically hates whites, Muslims and Christians). Hence JD Vance is a pedophile because his children have a different skin tone than their father. White trash Americans are soooooo smart!

Woman Who Accused San Jose Father of Trafficking His 6 Year Old Over Their Skin Tones Is Behind Bars

[White trash dumb blonde American] Lindsay Hansen

A 47-year-old woman was arrested by the San Jose Police Department for stalking and committing hate crimes against a family after a viral video captured her making derogatory remarks towards a father and his 6-year-old daughter based on their skin color.

The San Jose Police Department arrested a 47-year-old woman accused of stalking and committing hate crimes against a family after a viral video captured her accusing a father of being a pedophile because he had a different skin color than his daughter.

The police responded to reports of a hate-motivated crime that took place on September 6th in the 6400 block of Aspen Creek in the Almaden area, stated the San Jose Police Department.

According to investigators, the woman pulled up to the father and his 6-year-old daughter multiple times while they were walking together along a pedestrian and bicycle trail and proceeded to make derogatory remarks toward them.

The father recorded the event and uploaded it on TikTok, where it went viral. In the video, the woman tells the father she is recording and that she works with "the feds."

"I'm making sure that you're not sex trafficking this poor little girl, who's very unhappy to be with you. It doesn't look like your child," she states.

Despite being called out on her comments, the father, who said that he is brown and his daughter is half-white, continues walking. She continues, "That's a white little girl, and you're a man of color, so I believe you're either buying or selling or trafficking this child."

Police used automatic license plate reader cameras to track down the silver Honda Fit she was using. The assaults team conducted an additional investigation, which concluded that there were other hate crimes committed around the city, one of which was committed on September 9th at a high school in South San Jose.

She was arrested on September 10th and booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of stalking, hate crimes, among other charges. The investigation is still ongoing. The police department has not said whether the investigation proved her accusations against the father.

Police have not publicly disclosed the woman's name. Some sources have identified her as Lindsay Hansen.

The hate crime against the school prompted the San Jose Unified School District to issue a notice on September 10th to families that a woman harassed members of the school community, taped them, and shared the recordings through social media. A post was alleged to capture her taping herself in the girls' locker room of a South Bay high school while accusing physical education teachers of sexual misconduct, as per NBC Bay Area, which also indicated that her profile had numerous videos and posts relating to religion, race, and sex.

In an open profile that she had, the woman identifies herself as a professional who exposes child sex traffickers and uploads information that she says shows trafficking rings, images of which seem to be edited and produced by artificial intelligence software. Additional posts in the same profile included her statements against the Jewish people, Muslim communities, Asian immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community. Investigators have not yet commented on those posts.

The woman was reported missing in 2022 due to her significant mental health issues, according to KTVU. A journalist found the Honda Fit in another part of the Almaden area on September 9th, and her father refused to comment.

They Know Only Violence: MAGA Morons Call for Shooting Democrats

The finest of all MAGA Morons: Sen. Rafael Eduardo Cruz who uses "Ted" so as not appear too Hispanic to his redneck white trash buffaloes.

The MAGA-GOP herd is so desperate because their time of screwing America is coming to an end. They know it and the American people know it. So, severely lacking neurons in their empty skulls, they are unable to convince with arguments. Which is why they elevated to the level of a god some poor witless simple-minded young man by the name of Charlie Kirk because he could "debate". 

Otherwise, the MAGA white Christian supremacist morons have only one option when confronted with facts they don't like: VIOLENCE. Violence against their smarter opponents. They are indeed heirs to the land that was born out of the womb of violence and racism: genocide the Native Indians, enslave the Black Africans, exploit Chinese railroad workers, and themselves being illegal immigrants have the gall to treat immigrants that followed them like scum.

Has "Ted" Cruz ever asked his boss Donald Dumb if his Director of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, one Turkish-born Muslim Dr. Mohammad Oz (who also hides his name by using "Mehmet") feels an obligation to follow Sharia Law? I don't know, but why then is he asking whether the US-born Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will feel an obligation to follow Sharia Law simply because he is a Muslim? Mr. Eduardo "Ted": You just can't be a selective racist or Islamophobe; Either you despise all Muslims and say it out loud, or you don't and you shut up.

Calls for Democrats to be shot go unchallenged at Republican convention

On the night Republicans gathered to mourn the killing of Charlie Kirk and warn against the dangers of violent rhetoric, a crowd at the party's irregular midterm convention in Dallas repeatedly called for a sitting Senate candidate to be shot, while the Republican senator at the podium never denounced or even noted the outbursts.

The outbursts came repeatedly during Ted Cruz's Thursday night address at the American Airlines center, when he named a Democrat he accused of holding radical views. After the senator mentioned the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, video footage depicts at least one audience member shouting: "He should be shot!" The same cry followed when Cruz named Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, and again after he named Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. Cruz did not pause or respond to the shouting, and it remains unclear whether he heard it from the stage. Cruz did not respond to a request for comment.

Cruz had accused Mamdani of wanting to seize the means of production, said El-Sayed felt an "obligation" to follow Sharia law and claimed Talarico wanted to dismantle capitalism. Each characterization stretched past remarks the three men had actually made in other contexts.

Asked about the moment on CNN's The Source With Kaitlan Collins, El-Sayed said such rhetoric had become dangerously normalized and that it should unsettle anyone who heard it. He called on Republicans to name the chant for what it was: incitement that both parties ought to reject, and appealed for a return to a politics centered on people's basic needs and dignity.

"Look, I'm a dad with two daughters, and I hope those daughters get to grow up and live with their dad. This is what has become the norm in our politics … literally calls to violence and the inability for anybody to actually call it out," El-Sayed said.

"We can learn to disagree agreeably, and when you hear that kind of call to violence, it should be shuddering to all of us," he added.

A spokesperson for Mike Rogers, the Republican former congressman challenging El-Sayed for Michigan's open Senate seat who was in Dallas for the convention, said Rogers condemned the remarks and "all political violence".

The convention fell on the first anniversary of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, an occasion Republican speakers repeatedly invoked, including the vice-president, JD Vance, who spoke of his friendship with Kirk during a headlining address.

El-Sayed is locked in one of the cycle's most closely watched Senate races. A CNN poll released on Wednesday showed him leading Rogers 47% to 44% in the contest to succeed the retiring Democratic senator Gary Peters, as both parties fight for control of the chamber.

In Poke in the Eye to the English Crooks, Trump Calls on Irish to Re-unify Ireland

The Great American Moron has such a limited vocabulary that he is often forced to blurt "formulaic" inanities that a vast majority of Americans rely on to communicate. So, when asked about the reunification of Ireland, which is a taboo subject for the UK and its seditious pets in Northern Ireland, the imbecile American president who lacks the necessary sophisticated language of diplomacy just blurts out "I'd love to see" Ireland reunified, unaware that this could brew a storm inside the "Special Relationship" between the crooked English and the moronic Americans.

Alternatively, it may well be that Trump, as a Zionist hand-puppet, has been ordered by AIPAC & Co. to poke the eyes of the English because of their current dispute with the genocidal Zionist settlers embarked on an ethnic cleansing campaign to cull the Palestinian population down to a drone-manageable size. 

For more on the dispute between the crooked English midwife and its baby Zionist "homeland" in Palestine, in which the Zionists accuse the English of - what else? Antisemitism - see for example: 
https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2026/0908/israel-britain-settlements-uk-sanctions-west-bank

Just over 100 years ago, the colonial English crooks sold the land of Palestine (over which they were given a fiduciary mandate) to rich European Zionist bankers who created the filthy colonial "homeland". This is a perfect example of how the artist-creator becomes the victim of his own creation. 

That is why the Zionists love Trump. He's the perfect puppet: Dumb and obedient, while appearing to be an independent smartass.

Trump says he would "love" a unified Ireland as he kicks off visit
CBS/AP
Sat, September 12, 2026

President Trump said Saturday he would love to see a unified Ireland as he kicked off a visit to the country, where he will meet with leaders and attend a major golf tournament at one of his courses.

During a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin, Mr. Trump said the unification of the Republic of Ireland with Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, "may as well happen now."

"I don't want to cause any problems but I'd love to see it unified. I think it would be a fantastic thing," Mr. Trump said, adding that "the U.K. will have something to say about it, obviously."

When Ireland became a self-governing Roman Catholic-majority country a century ago, a six-county region in the north with a Protestant majority remained part of the United Kingdom. Tensions between Protestant unionists, who wanted to stay British, and Catholic nationalists, who wanted to join the rest of Ireland, led to three decades of violence.

A 1998 peace accord that the U.S. was instrumental in striking largely ended the violence but left Northern Ireland's ultimate status unresolved.

Mr. Trump also held talks Saturday in Dublin with his Irish counterpart Catherine Connolly and will address the U.S. and Irish business leaders at the U.S. ambassador's official residence in Dublin, before traveling to his oceanfront golf club in Doonbeg, on the other side of the country, to watch the Irish Open.

Some residents expressed annoyance over the disruption caused by the U.S. president's trip.

"He's causing mayhem in this city because he wants to go down to Doonbeg and play golf," said taxi driver Christopher Fox, emphatically not a fan of the president. "The world's in turmoil and this fella's down playing golf."

University student Mina Petrovski said Mr. Trump's "attitudes towards women, towards immigrants, towards minority communities in general are abhorrent." She said it's "shameful that the Irish government is welcoming him with open arms."

Separately, a collection of left-leaning opposition parties, anti-military groups, pro-Palestinian organizations, environmentalists and others plan to demonstrate against the president in Dublin on Saturday.

Mr. Trump is an avid golfer who frequently plays at clubs he owns in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia. His attendance at the Irish Open continues his trend of appearing at high-profile sporting events - and having a hand in organizing some of them in ways that benefit his family business. His clubs in Doral, Florida, and Bedminster, New Jersey, have each hosted professional golf tournaments this year.

The Irish Open is the second European Tour event to be held at a Trump property this year. The Nexo Championship was held last month at the president's golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland.

MAGA's North Carolina Senate Candidate Whatley Prays with Child Sex Offender at Rally

MAGA GOP Senate Candidate Whatley

Apparently for the MAGA criminals, faith and crime are very compatible, just as their Christian faith goes very well with their greedy obsession with money and ostentatious wealth. In fact, Donald Dumb is their "Christ-in-person" leader who has committed many crimes, including two for which he was impeached, and so he sets the perfect example for the creepy MAGA swamps in which these lowlife reptiles crawl.

Convicted Sex Offender Led ‘Integrity and Honesty’ Prayer at GOP Senate Candidate’s Rally
Kathryn Wilkens
Sat, September 12, 2026

A registered sex offender led a prayer for “integrity and honesty” at a recent rally featuring North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley.

A registered sex offender twice imprisoned for convictions involving children led a prayer calling for "integrity and honesty" at a recent rally featuring North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Michael Whatley, according to a Friday report from The Associated Press.

Pastor Daimon L. King delivered the opening prayer at an Aug. 28 gathering at the Craven County Republican Party headquarters in New Bern, the outlet reported.

King, 60, asked God to bring "integrity and honesty" to those in attendance and to right wrongs "hammered down on the conservative movement."

[The Turkish Muslim] Dr. Mohammad a.k.a. Mehmet, Oz, President Donald Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, also spoke at the rally. King was visible in a video posted by Whatley's campaign after the speeches, the AP pointed out, standing behind the speakers and at one point giving two thumbs up.

Whatley's campaign said the candidate did not know King and denied having a role in bringing him to the event.

Campaign spokesman DJ Griffin told the outlet that the gathering "was NOT planned nor organized by the Whatley campaign nor did the campaign invite any of the guests," adding King was "invited by the hosts," the Craven County Republican Party, which was not reachable for comment.

King, who leads New Beginnings Celebration church in New Bern and has previously served as a Craven County GOP precinct chairman, was convicted in 1998 after being charged with statutory rape and indecent liberties with a 15-year-old student while working as a high school marching band assistant. He served nearly five years in prison.

In 2010, King pleaded guilty to having sex with an underage female relative and spent nearly another three years behind bars. He is required to register as a sex offender for life.

The revelation comes as Whatley faces former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) in a closely watched Senate race. Democrats have already spent more than $2.3 million on advertisements highlighting Whatley's association with Harvey L. West Jr., a former state GOP official who was convicted of five counts of indecent liberties with a child.

Inbred Hillbilly Moron JD Vance Calls Immigrants "Dirty and Poor"

Is the Hindu wife of the racist white Christian moron JD Vance, Usha, dirty and poor? ... You know, she is from India, the only place on earth where the Bubonic Plague is still endemic.

Vice President JD Vance was branded a hypocrite after saying America had become "dirtier and poorer," because of immigrants and people of color—even as he's married to a dark-skinned Hindu fundamentalist Indian woman who is not a Christian. 

JD Vance himself is of Appalachian stock, the really dirty and savage original white trash English settler stock with rampant inbreeding.

JD Vance Called Out Over Hypocritical Racist Dogwhistle

Sat, September 12, 2026



Vice President JD Vance was branded a hypocrite after saying America had become "dirtier and poorer," remarks critics interpreted as a dig at immigrants and people of color—even as he's married to an Indian woman who is the mother of his four children.

Michigan Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar hit back Friday, saying Vance's comments are "all the proof you need that the Vice President is a shameless hack who believes in nothing and just says whatever he thinks is in the best interest of his political career."

x/Shri Thanedar

Vance railed during the last night of the GOP midterm convention on Thursday that the U.S. was becoming "poorer" and "dirtier" before Donald Trump's election to a second term, and that Republicans were tired of being attacked for saying so.

"We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier," he emphasized.

X/CanadianDivaDiane

Vance notoriously claimed two years ago that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were abducting and eating people's pets. Officials said there wasn't a single verified report to back up the claim. "They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there," Trump said in a campaign speech, repeating the lie.

The vice president's wife, Usha Vance, was born in San Diego, California, on January 6, 1986, to parents who moved to the U.S. from India in the late 1970s, making her a U.S. citizen by birth—a practice Trump is battling to end. Her parents' citizenship status at the time of her birth has not been verified, according to Reuters.

Trump said his executive order aiming at ending birthright citizenship would not apply to Vance's wife because her birth predates the date of the order.

One of many critics on X responded to Vance's speech and his apparent shock at being called "racist," noting: "You're being called racist because you keep saying and doing racist things." Another wrote: "Ummm, does he really think he's beating the racist accusation here? It's not a dog whistle. It's a bullhorn." Another user was more generous, saying that Vance really may not be a racist after all—just an "evil opportunist" who's bashing people to climb a political ladder.

Several noted that the poorest states in the U.S. are Republican, and it's unclear how that's the fault of "dirtier and poorer" people.

This is what Trump Was Focused on During the 9-11 Remembrance

What was on the mind of the Great American Moron on 9-11 remembrance day:
No mention of 9-11.
Crowd size. 
"I didn't do" January 6. 
Freedom 250 UFC fight on the white house lawn. 
His 2024 election victory. 
Spiteful stupidity: refused to attend the NY city remembrance because he - and any and all officials - are prohibited from giving a speech which, in his case, would have turned into a senile rant about how glorious he is.

Trump Floods Truth Social With Bizarre Posts On 9/11 Anniversary
Anthony Orrico
Sat, September 12, 2026



While President Donald Trump spent much of the day delivering remarks during the Pentagon's 9/11 anniversary ceremony on Friday, he still found time for a bizarre mid-afternoon posting spree.

He posted about the crowd size at the Republican midterm convention, hype videos and a video from the January 6 insurrection, all while America marked the 25th anniversary of terrorist attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

Trump kicked off the spree at 1:35 p.m. ET with a montage video from his Freedom 250 UFC fight on the White House lawn.

Just minutes later, he posted a video showing various news outlets announcing that he had won the 2024 presidential election.

Trump followed that up at 2:51 p.m. ET, when he posted an infamous video from the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, where he told the rioters to "go home in peace."

Less than 30 minutes later, Trump maligned Democrats in a lengthy post for their criticism of his promised $5,000 dividend to every American adult if Republicans prevail in the midterms.

"The $5,000 Trump Dividend, given to all Adults in the United States due to the fact that our Country is taking in Trillions of Dollars of Economic Development, Investment, and Pure SUCCESS, is being criticized by "Dumocrats" who are hoping that it never happens," Trump wrote.


Trump then posted a video at 3:09 p.m. ET of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s speech at the Republican midterm convention.

He capped off the posting bonanza just before 5 p.m. ET by sharing a series of articles boasting about the supposedly "sold-out" crowd at the convention, despite numerous videos from inside the event showing a bevy of empty seats.

On Fifth Anniversary Of His Coup Attempt, Trump Repeats His Lie That He Didn't Do It

Noticeably absent from Trump's posts was any mention of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. While Vice President JD Vance attended the annual remembrance ceremony in New York City on Friday, Trump was the only living president not in attendance.

The New York Times reported in August that Trump was originally slated to attend the ceremony, but backed out in part because he wanted to deliver a speech, and organizers of the event have barred politicians from giving remarks since 2012 to maintain the solemnity of the ceremony.

Trump Looks Old and Tired During 9-11 Ceremonies Surrounded by His Blonde Bimbos

But he says he'll be young again, but only after the midterms, just like gas prices will fall and the Iran War will end, not before, but after the midterms. Surrounded all the time by blonde bimbos (Melania, Margo Martin, Natalie Harp...) who change his diapers and massage his swollen feet, a.k.a. cankles, the cruel bitter old man is obviously unable to score and is getting depressed. 

With the midterms projected to bring an end to his MAGA cult that has ruined America's reputation around the world, Trump has nothing left to look for, except two more agonizing years during which he ravenously will try to make many more billions than he can carry with him to the afterlife, and to continue lying to his herd of MAGA morons to lie over.

We were brought up to forgive and to feel pity for incapacitated older people. But with Trump, his cruelty and indifference to human suffering, much of which he himself callously caused, it is hard to forgive. I wish this jerk all the suffering that old age can bring as he retires immersed in his billions of ill-gotten wealth in Mar-a-Lago. No, there can be no pity for a cheater, a fraud, an adulterer, a criminal felon who wrecked America. I used to easily defend American democracy against its detractors, but not anymore. Now the country's enemies point to Trump and reply, "You call this a democracy? With Trump, America is no longer in a position to lecture the world about liberty and democracy".

During a September 11 remembrance event yesterday, Trump appeared tired and struggled to stay awake, prompting questions as to who is leading a country at war and facing economic disaster, both of which were deliberately caused by Trump himself. His slouching may be only a stunt by him to appear "sad", but if indeed it is the case, he failed. He didn't look sad, he looked tired, bored and sleepy. One cannot avoid guessing his thoughts about the 3,000 "suckers and losers" that died on 9-11.

Trump, 80, sat beside his Melania bimbo, having chosen to remember 9-11 at the Pentagon, as if to emphasize his manly and virile, but failing warmongering. All other living presidents and their spouses were in New York City for the occasion. Trump reportedly attended only on condition he is allowed to give one of his vapid ranting speeches. Traditionally, no one gives a speech at the 9-11 event in deference to those who died and whose names are told one by one to the audience. Trump instead turned the event into a disgusting self-serving "rally-like" stunt.

In addition, the asshole's cankles were clearly visible, drooping over his shoes on all sides.

The octogenarian's ailments have increasingly become apparent to the public: confused slurred speech, cankled feet, bruised hands, forgetfulness, out of place smarminess and dark humor, dozing off during important daytime meetings, neck rash, etc.

Trump's Internment of Immigrants in Camps: A Reminder of Darkest Times in Our History

During WWII, the white trash of this country interned Japanese Americans in concentration camps in the desert. They also interned Italian Americans and German Americans in concentration camps in the desert. "Race" is such a stupid criterion in judging a person or a group, but expect no less from Fascist morons like Trump and his ilk.

These were not immigrants. They were second, third and fourth-generation US-born Americans. Yet their "race" made them suspicious in the eyes of a Fascist moronic white trash majority. 

Now they are interning immigrants and Americans in concentration camps also based on their Latin American "race". They might as well intern 20% of the US population (some 70 million Americans declare themselves as Hispanic or Latino) before they become 30% as estimated by 2060, at which time non-Hispanic whites would have become the largest minority group in the country and no longer a majority. This is fundamentally why white trash racists like Trump and the GOP are persecuting Latin American immigrants in a desperate and futile attempt to "Keep American Euro-White". 

Shouldn't Trump's fascist morons be persecuting and interning Iranian-Americans?

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

AI says:

During World War II, the United States classified citizens of Japan, Germany, and Italy as "enemy aliens," leading to the surveillance, restriction, and internment of hundreds of thousands of individuals of these nationalities. While Japanese Americans faced mass incarceration via Executive Order 9066, Italian Americans and German Americans were subjected to individual hearings, forced relocations from coastal zones, and the internment of a smaller subset deemed high-risk.

Key differences in treatment included:

Scale and Scope: Approximately 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were forcibly removed and incarcerated in War Relocation Authority camps. In contrast, roughly 600,000 Italian Americans faced restrictions like curfews and travel bans, with only about 3,000 to 4,000 actually interned in Justice Department or Army camps.

Due Process: Japanese Americans were interned as a group based on race without individual hearings. Italian and German detainees were typically subject to individual review boards that determined if they should be released, paroled, or interned based on evidence of subversive activity.

Demographics: The Japanese internment included both non-citizen immigrants and U.S. citizens. The internment of Italians and Germans primarily affected non-citizen immigrants and naturalization applicants, though some U.S. citizens were detained if they had demonstrated allegiance to Axis powers.

Geographic Focus: Japanese internment was concentrated on the West Coast. Italian and German internees were often held in facilities inland (such as Fort Missoula in Montana or Crystal City in Texas) and were frequently housed separately from Japanese detainees.

Federal appeals court compares Trump migrant detention policy to Japanese American internment
Louis Casiano
Thu, September 10, 2026

A federal court has rejected the Trump administration's policy of detaining migrants on bond without a chance for release, comparing it to the mass detention of Japanese Americans during World War II.

A Trump administration policy to detain migrants on bond without a chance for release harkens back to the mass detention of Japanese Americans during World War II, a federal court said Thursday.

In a 2-1 decision, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration's mass detention policy, a major part of President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda.

"Mass detention of marginalized individuals without due process harkens back to some of the darkest moments in our country's history," the court wrote.

Nine federal appeals courts have now separately ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) new mandatory detention policy is illegal, concluding it could apply to recent arrivals at or near the border but not to migrants determined to be living elsewhere within the country.

Two other appeals courts have upheld it, meaning the U.S. Supreme Court is likely to take up the case in its upcoming term.

Immigrant rights groups say basic due process is being violated when longtime residents are denied bond hearings during removal proceedings.

"The courts have resoundingly rejected the administration's cruel policy and its blatant disrespect for the rule of law," said My Khanh Ngo, senior staff attorney with the ACLU's Immigrants' Rights Project. "We are thrilled for our clients and their families."

Mass arrests of suspected illegal immigrants during President Donald Trump's second term have prompted widespread protests, particularly in Democratic-led cities like Chicago. In July 2025, the administration announced it would detain every migrant found anywhere in the U.S. whom ICE determines was not granted permission to enter.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency was disappointed with Thursday's decision but said it recently sought a Supreme Court review of a similar decision from the 6th Circuit.

Writing for the majority, 4th Circuit Judge Nicole Berner invoked the mass internment of Japanese Americans during World War II as a warning against sweeping executive detention authority without due process.

"The stain of these detentions on our nation — and the judiciary's abdication of its obligation to protect basic freedoms — continues to haunt us," Berner wrote.

To Trump, American Voters are Like Prostitute Stormy Daniels: $5,000 for a MAGA One-nighter

[Updated with "Trump's $5,000 pledge a sign of panic]

Trump wants to buy your conscience. He thinks you - the American people - are like prostitutes for the whoremonger that he is, a people with no conscience and no decency. He wants to buy your votes these midterms at the first-class "golden" prostitution rate he is used to: $5,000 a head on condition that you vote for his fellow imbecile criminals of MAGA.

Regardless of his intentions, keep in mind that the criminal moron can, and I suppose will, change his mind after the vote. How often has he gone TACO and lied to you? How often has he made promises he never kept? Why would anyone with integrity sell their votes and their consciences for $5,000 that they may never see?

Trump is treating the American people like he has always treated his prostitutes, porn actresses, and the like: Pay them and they'll do anything. Grab them by the pussy and they'll fall in your arms. For the pedophile friend "with wonderful secrets", Trump doesn't see a difference between his $5,000 to buy people's votes and his "Give me a blowjob and I'll pay you $5,000" to a prostitute. 

Assuming 200 million Americans only (out of a total 350 million population) receive this $5,000 check, the price of this pimping exercise is a staggering $1 trillion to add to the $41 trillion national debt (10 trillions of which were added in 2 years only by Donald Dumb). But even if he manages to keep the House and Senate in his swollen hands, I am 100% certain he will renege on his pledge. What's another lie on top of all his other lies?

Compare that with President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) that rescued the economy by lowering taxes to help struggling Americans recover from the other moron Republican President, George W Bush, and the disastrous economic collapse of the great recession he caused (December 2007–June 2009). Like Bush, Trump continues to push for deregulation and less oversight over his fellow billionaires' corrupt financial institutions and corporations that hold the American people captive hostages. 

With Bush, his policies led to the chaotic and greed-driven subprime mortgage crisis and the housing market collapse. With Trump, many economic experts keep warning that not only is the US economy riding on a wave of hubris similar to the period preceding the housing market collapse, but that the post-Covid inflationary vector has yet to abate because of Trump's foreign wars, rising energy prices, declining affordability and an overall international anarchy whose instability is certainly calling for a major corrective depression, not unlike that of 1929.

Trump pitches $5,000 checks, but only if GOP wins House and Senate
Joe Walsh
Updated Thu, September 10, 2026 



President Trump vowed Wednesday to send a $5,000 "dividend" to every American citizen after the midterms, but only if Republicans hold onto control of the House and Senate.

The announcement came almost an hour into Mr. Trump's speech to the Republican National Committee's first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas, as he seeks to rally Republican voters and fight significant political headwinds in the November elections.

"If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said.

The president did not offer details on how the payments — which he dubbed "Trump Dividends" — would work, including whether he plans to ask Congress to authorize the checks. He has floated the idea of cutting checks to U.S. citizens in the past, proposing $2,000 dividends funded by tariffs last year.

Mr. Trump argued the payments would be a consequence of the country's "tremendous economic success," and suggested they could be funded partially by his administration's tariffs on foreign goods.

The U.S. has brought in just under $500 billion in tariff and excise tax revenue since the start of last year, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center. More than $100 billion has been refunded due to a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that struck down many of the administration's tariffs.

Sending out $5,000 checks to all of America's approximately 245 million adult citizens could cost upwards of $1 trillion.

There is some precedent for broad-based payments to U.S. households. In 2020 and 2021, Congress allowed the Biden and first Trump administrations to send out several rounds of checks to American households in an effort to stimulate the COVID-ravaged economy. But any economic stimulus program runs the risk of causing inflation to spike, and many economists believe the pandemic-era stimulus was at least partially responsible for the rise in consumer prices that ensued over the following years.

During Wednesday's speech, Mr. Trump likened the payments to his Trump Account child investment funds, which were authorized by Congress, and last year's "warrior dividend" bonuses to U.S. service members, which were funded through a military housing supplement approved by lawmakers.

Mr. Trump is seeking to rally Republicans ahead of the midterms, vowing during Wednesday's speech to campaign for vulnerable GOP lawmakers, and urging voters to treat the November elections as a referendum on his presidency.

"I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot … just one more time," Mr. Trump said, repeating a line he has used several times in recent weeks.

But Republicans are facing down voters' historical tendency to reject the party that controls the White House in the midterms. Mr. Trump's own lagging approval rating could also be a drag on the party, with Democrats seeking to capitalize on the Iran war's unpopularity and voters' unhappiness with the Trump administration's handling of the economy.

Mr. Trump acknowledged that historical trend, saying, "the midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president," but "we're going to change that."

He told the audience he views about 35 House and Senate districts as especially crucial, and vowed to "go to every one of those states," holding both in-person rallies and telephone town halls. Many candidates likely also want access to the president's nine-figure super PAC war chest.

The president hit many of his familiar rally points during the speech, touting his record on border security, last year's tax legislation, his tariff-heavy approach to trade and his White House renovation kick — including his planned ballroom.

He spent somewhat less time on the war with Iran, though he defended his decision to launch the conflict, insisting the U.S. is winning and mused about renaming the Strait of Hormuz the "Trump Strait."

He also jabbed congressional Democrats.

"Hand America's future to the radical-left Democrats, and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy," he said. "Vote Republican, and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come."

Several Trump-allied midterm contenders are slated to speak at the convention. The GOP's embattled Senate candidates in Texas and Georgia — state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Mike Collins, respectively — addressed the crowd on Wednesday.

Collins is fighting to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, and Paxton is seeking to prevent James Talarico from becoming the first Democrat to represent Texas in the Senate since the early 1990s.

Mr. Trump vowed to support Paxton, saying he's willing to visit Texas multiple times to campaign if necessary. At one point, he said Paxton "may not dress right," "may not talk exactly perfectly" and "may not be the best-looking guy I've ever seen," but added: "He's the greatest attorney general in America, and he deserves to be your next senator."

Other battleground state Republicans are not planning to attend the two-day midterm convention. A handful of vulnerable GOP House candidates told CBS News earlier this week they plan to spend this week campaigning instead.

The convention cost about $40 million to stage and organizers raised funds to cover the cost, several sources with knowledge of the matter told CBS News.

Shortly after Mr. Trump's remarks, Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin called the convention a "desperate attempt by Republicans to ignore the reality that all of their vulnerable candidates are poised to lose in November."

"Republicans now have to spin his disastrous, rambling speech when it's clear that this bizarre dog-and-pony show is being held to placate Trump's fragile ego," Martin said in a statement.

The Republican National Committee's midterm convention featured fantastical assessments of Trump's presidency, false claims of an economic boom, and bizarre spectacles, including a cash offer to voters.

With his poll numbers at record lows, gas prices at record highs, and mounting signs of momentum for the Democrats, President Donald Trump just debuted a novel strategy to secure votes:
bribery. Speaking at the Republican National Committee's historically unheard of midterms convention on Wednesday evening, Trump offered to pay Americans $5,000 each if — and only if — the GOP is victorious in the upcoming elections.

"Because we've done so well and because our country is making so much money that only I can make this promise to you and here is my promise, if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate — both of them … because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump declared during his headlining speech.

The president framed this extraordinary offer as a result of unprecedented "tremendous economic success."

"In history we've never had anything like what's happening," Trump said.

In reality, under Trump, the national debt has ballooned to record levels and caused alarm on Wall Street. Inflation has also continued to rise and investors are on edge over a pair of reports due out on Thursday and Friday that could show the situation has edged beyond Federal Reserve targets. Cost of living is rising as well, amid sluggish growth and the gas spikes caused by Trump's ongoing and unpopular war in Iran. Trump's tariffs have also led to trade wars with allies and higher prices for consumers. Overall, the economic situation is considered a major factor in Trump's plummeting poll numbers and projections that show wider worries for Republicans, who are likely to lose the House in November.

The RNC's wildly unusual midterm convention, which was the first of its kind, took place in Dallas, Texas against this dire backdrop. Even before Trump made his cash offer backed by false claims of an economic boom, his speech was filled with fantastical assessments of his presidency. That journey through the looking glass mirrored the several hours of preceding remarks from other speakers, including GOP candidates and members of Congress, who framed the party's agenda as being focused on economic growth while rooting out corruption and extremism. They contrasted this with the Democratic Party, which they repeatedly characterized as "communist."

It was as though Trump and the other Republicans who took the stage were addressing the nation from an alternate universe where there is no cost of living crisis and the president hasn't amassed unprecedented sums and blatant conflicts of interest while in office. Their hallucinatory vision of dangerously radical Democrats also ignores the fact that the party's centrist wing just scored a series of victories in congressional primaries while Trump and his allies maintain extensive connections to violent extremists.

In keeping with the effort to paint his policies as actually good for the economy, Trump cast his $5,000 payout as the result of the contrast between the two political parties.

"The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money," Trump said of the offer. "All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country."

Along with the upside down vision of the country, the RNC midterm convention featured several odd spectacles including what … appeared to be an attempted butt slap from a Cabinet secretary, blatant lying about the anemic crowd, and — for some reason — a shirtless picture of leftist podcaster Hasan Piker on the jumbotron. Through it all, there was a grey haired DJ spinning country music and 80's classics. Amid all of this weirdness, there was one bit of clearly good news for the GOP. With the poor polling, Democrats have an outside shot at securing a Senate majority. However, during the convention, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) broadcast a video clip to the convention audience that seemed like, at least, a partial defection from his caucus. The video added to concerns that Fetterman could switch parties following extensive leaks to the Wall Street Journal from his own staffers who have been worried Fetterman is more focused on clashing with fellow Democrats on Israel and making appearances on Fox News than he is on the basic duties of his position.

Yet even with all of this bizarro pomp and circumstance, Trump's promise of cash payments stood out as a landmark moment in the MAGA era. The president framed it as being "very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders."

"The only condition on the payment of this dividend that we're going to be making — so it's $5,000 to every adult — the only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America," Trump said. "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You've got to spend the money in the United States of America."

On the off chance that Trump's proposal manages to turn the tides and encourage a Republican sweep in the midterms, it is unclear how he plans to track Americans' spending.

Trump and his allies are no strangers to questionable cash transactions. Behind the scenes, various administration officials and Trump family members have been involved in all manner of wheeling and dealing. Trump has also previously put his name on checks, payments, and other financial vehicles provided to Americans during his tenure. And, during the last presidential election, Elon Musk, who is both the richest person in the world and the GOP's biggest megadonor, made $1 million payments to voters in the key state of Wisconsin, in a move that raised legal concerns.

Federal law clearly prohibits anyone from offering to pay for votes. It is unclear what manner of loophole Trump might cite to get around the obvious issues raised by his $5,000 promise.

Trump appeared to be unbothered by any technical or legal details as he took the stage on Wednesday night. The president, whose convention remarks stretched for over an hour and is set to speak again during the second night of the event on Thursday, framed the cash offer as "the best part of the speech."

"We're making a fortune, so if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. "It will be called the 'Trump Dividend.' We'll call it the 'Trump Dividend.'

After branding his payments, Trump preemptively patted the public on the back for being in on his scheme.

"Congratulations," he said. "Now, all we have to do is win."

Is Trump's $5,000 pledge a sign of panic?

We all know that Donald Trump does not feel the need to adhere to the normal rules of political campaigning. Even by his own unconventional standards, his extravagant promise to pay every American citizen $5,000 (£3,700) if the Republicans win the midterm elections was bizarre.

This enormous cash pledge was not the headline of his keynote address at the first night of his midterms Republican convention on Wednesday.

He slipped in the mention about an hour into his lengthy speech - just when the audience's attention was starting to waver.

The president offered no details on how this more than one-trillion-dollar pledge will be paid for or how the payments would be distributed.

Asked for more information, the White House said in a statement that "the announcement is the latest proof that President Trump does what the so-called 'experts' say cannot be done: he delivers for the American people", but gave no more specifics about how it would be implemented.

The announcement itself was met with enthusiastic applause from supporters inside the Republican convention arena in Dallas, Texas.

But Republicans in tight races in November's election - who need to win over sceptical swing voters, including moderate Republicans and independents - largely stayed away from the event.

And many of Trump's fellow Republicans were clearly taken by surprise. Some welcomed the announcement, but Republicans that are more critical of Trump were quick to denounce it.

Conservatives who have clashed with Trump before, especially over how the federal debt has continued to balloon under his presidency, were scathing in their response.

Thomas Massie, the Republican representative from Kentucky who lost his primary over Trump criticisms earlier this year, posted on X: "I don't know about you all, but frankly I'm insulted by the notion that my vote this November could be bought for 5k. Not to mention the inflation this would cause. All things considered, I cannot in good conscience accept a penny less than 10k!"

Senator Susan Collins, who swerved Dallas to campaign in Maine where she's facing a tight race for re-election, said: "Tax and spending decisions should be made based on the needs of the American people and the state of the economy, they should not appear to be tied to election results."

Democrats for their part have labelled it an "empty promise".

Legal experts say it's unlikely Trump could approve such a vast sum via a presidential executive order - but the president suggested on Thursday he wouldn't be going to Congress.

Speaking to the BBC's US partner CBS, he said he didn't think Congress would need to approve the spending, before adding: "I think they will do it, if we needed it."

But plenty of fiscally conservative Republican representatives would likely refuse to support this kind of spending.

Former Republican Representative Bob Good dismissed the "Trump dividend" as a "socialist vote-buying scheme".

But this convention was a reminder that Trump still dominates the party and, in the House of Representative at least, he has previously made them bend to his will on policies that don't chime with traditional conservative positions.

This is not the first time President Trump has made a cash promise to voters. Americans are still waiting for the $2,000 cheques he said they would each receive from the revenue generated from his trade tariffs. And the $5,000 payments that Elon Musk proposed would come from his Doge spending cuts have never materialised.

Trump has delivered on his promise to set up Trump saving accounts with a government contribution of $1,000 for children born during his term in office. And all members of the US military got a payment of $1,776 to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.

Is it a sign that Donald Trump fears that he is on course for a major defeat in November that he feels the need to make this kind of eye-catching election promise?

Despite the president not featuring on the ballot, voters often treat midterm elections as a referendum on the sitting president - and often the party in power struggles.

And less than two months out from election day, Trump faces historically low approval ratings.

His war with Iran has become increasingly unpopular, and its knock-on effects are hitting Americans at the petrol pump. Affordability is still a top issue for voters, and while inflation is down from its post-Covid peak under Joe Biden, it remains stubbornly high.

So does this pledge suggest an element of panic that he pulled this policy out of his back pocket before many of his closest allies had been told about it?

It is undoubtedly a highly unorthodox way of launching a major election pledge.

But Trump's political success has been built on his norm-breaking way of doing business.

His latest ploy could work – but only if voters believe he is serious about writing them a cheque.
