I am So Sorry for Backing Trump, former MAGA Moron "Joe" Cries Out

I'm always amazed by these idiots who claim to have only now suddenly discovered who the real Trump is. I thought their main argument for supporting him was that he "tells it like it is". And he does now unashamedly says what he thinks, just as he did when he started campaigning. 

Trump hasn't changed. But those who claim they didn't know are themselves liars of the first kind. They knew he was a racist. They knew he was a cheat, a criminal, a pedophile protector, a tax evader, an adulterer, a seditious mobster who mounted a failed coup against the US... He's never hidden who he really was.

But they, like this idiot Joe below, loved his vulgarity, his xenophobia, his hatred of immigrants....They applauded  him when he said Obama was not an American-born citizen because he was black. They applauded him when he derided an American judge with a Latin name as a "Mexican", as if being a Mexican was something repulsive. They applauded him when he lied about the 2020 elections then had his mob of thugs storm the Capitol. They were still applauding until yesterday. And now they claim being offended by Trump's own caricaturing of the Obamas as monkeys. Really? That caricature was the straw that broke the camel's back? Conservatives, John Stuart Mills said, are not necessarily stupid, but all stupid people are conservatives. Joe below is a conservative imbecile.

‘He’s pathetic’: Trump supporter apologizes for backing President after racist social media post of the Obamas

The White House’s initial response to the bipartisan reaction to the video was “fake outrage” before it was later taken down.

President Donald Trump kicked off a national firestorm on Thursday (Feb. 5) after a social media post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as gorillas quickly went viral. The clip featured superimposed images of the Obama’s heads on gorillas nodding along to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” a song popularized by the 1994 film, “The Lion King.”

The video spawned bipartisan reaction, decrying it as racist. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt initially claimed the response to the video was “fake backlash” and that the clip was taken out of context, as it depicts Trump as the King of the Jungle, and Democrats were different characters from “The Lion King.” However, there are no gorillas in “The Lion King,” and the lone monkey was Rafiki, an advisor to Mufasa and later, Simba.

“This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from the Lion King, “Leavitt said. “Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Later, the White House placed the blame on a rogue staffer, saying the video was posted “erroneously”. It has since been taken down.

The harmful depiction resonated with one Republican voter, who called into C-SPAN’s “Open Forum” to voice his displeasure with the president and his actions.

“I am a registered Republican,” the man, who identified himself as Joe from New Mexico, began. “Voted for the president, supported him, but I really want to apologize. I’m looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country.”

He added, “All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency; he takes bribes, blatantly. And now he’s being a racist, blatantly.”

In three separate elections between 2016 and 2024, Trump has not won New Mexico. No Republican presidential candidate has won the state since George W. Bush in 2004.

Joe then turned his attention to Trump’s immigration policy, pointing toward raids of elementary schools and the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis.

“They were supposed to deport the dangerous criminals,” Joe said. “They were not supposed to go after small children, storm schools, bring terror upon the little kids and the women and children. Not just the immigrants in the school, all the children are scared. This is not a decent man, this is not an honest man. He openly takes bribes. He’s pathetic as a president and I just wanna apologize to everyone in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.”

John admitted he voted for Trump in all three elections, on the promise that jobs would return to his area.

“There are no more jobs in New Mexico,” he said. “Some things are worse than they were before.”

Face-Smiling Back-Stabbing MAGA GOP Hypocrites

Clan over nation. Self-preservation over principle. Asskiss the dictator to stay relevant. Cower in fear of retaliation. Smile to his face, but snicker behind his back. Etc.. All apply to the current cowards of the Republican party who hate Trump but kiss his ring in public.

The closeted gay, family-values (?) Senator from the pro-slavery backward state of South Carolina, Lindsey Oily Graham, is the perfect example. He sweats pearls every time he tries to publicly defend Trump's indefensible, vulgar, unhinged stupidity. Deep down, he knows that Trump is killing the Republican Party and perhaps the country, but like a servant to his Sultan he goes along like a crawling reptile.

Graham will, in all likelihood, be one of those Benedict Arnolds or Vidkun Quislings who will be left hanging to dry by the voters. But, forgive me, for I forget: Graham is the senator of a backward state whose "Christian" people are largely as backward as the "Muslim" Taliban of Afghanistan, minus the beards, turbans and flowing abbayas. 

Chris Christie (former NJ governor and prominent GOP figure) is venting off his being sidelined because he dares oppose Trump in public. He's often accused of treason by the MAGA morons. In recent statements, he "revealed" GOP-MAGA's not-so-secret dirty secret: Most Republicans praise Donald Trump in public but criticize him in private - a typical relationship between a brutal dictator and his fearful servants. Christie pointed to the closeted gay but conservative senator from backward South Carolina, the oily Lindsey Graham, as the best example.

Christie was asked in a recent interview about what "Republicans say to each other when we're not listening about what's happening in America right now."

"Look, so many of my fellow party members, especially, come up to me because I say all this stuff out loud, and they — in the green room at ABC, they'll say, 'You're so brave. That's so great. I totally agree with you. [Trump's] nuts.' And then they go out on camera to be interviewed, and they go, ‘The greatest president since Abraham Lincoln,’" he replied. "And then they come back in the green room, and they say to me, 'You know, I have to do that, but like I don't really mean it.' That's what they say." 

When asked about which specific individuals he is referring to, Christie said, I don't have time "to give you all the names, but I'll give you one. Lindsey Graham". 

Christie and Trump have had a complicated relationship over the past decade. Although he endorsed Trump after ending his own presidential campaign in 2016, their relationship soured after the president refused to concede the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden, and Christie later openly criticized Trump's 2024 campaign saying, "Some people say I should drop out of this race. Really? I’m the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar," Christie said while speaking directly to the camera.

GOP Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is no Ape. He's an Uncle Tom

Didn't hypocrite Tim Scott, a. k.a. Uncle Tom, know that Trump has always been a racist?

He can't be upset now suddently that his boss has publicly revealed what he thinks of Scott's "kind". Too late. He had his head up Trump's rectum for so long that he can't even smell the stench.

Politicians ought to know "ahead" and "beforehand" who they are dealing with. But most choose to ignore the stench as long as they're getting something in return.

Tim Scott has deliberately ignored Trump's long-standing racism because Trump made him a senator, albeit a subservient servile African slave senator at Trump's beck and call. 

I am always dumbfounded by black African Americans, especially those from the South, who pretend that America's history of abject slavery is  not an issue for them and that sleeping with their former slavemasters is OK, supposedly because they share with them some lofty radical right-wing ideology that rests almost entirely on racism against African-Americans.

Stupidity? Blindness? Innate servility inherited from a couple of generations when Tim Scott's grandpa was being tied to a tree and beaten to a pulp by a certain Mr. scott. Is he so proud that his grandparents were once slaves of some white English jerk by the last name of Scott, whose name he proudly parades around, down in the backward slavery state of South Carolina?

Many Republican lawmakers, fearing for their seats next November, are scrambling to appear to break with the White House after the convicted felon and twice-impeached Donald Trump posted a video on social media that showed former President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama depicted as apes.

Sen. Tim Scott, a republican moron from South Carolina and a close ally of Trump - and the only Black Republican in the Senate - took some time before publicly disavowing the post. He didn't want to upset his slavemaster, so he waited until others expressed their outrage before joining them.

“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” Scott said about the video in a post on the social platform X. He is "praying" that it isn't true, because he couldn't deal with the consequences of its factual truth. 

All those GOP MAGA morons who are now merely "objecting" to Trump's blunt racism are facing reelection this November. Many are opportunists without principle and therefore are slowly (so as not to upset Trump) and discreetly (thinking that the voters won't notice) moving to the center of the political divide

The White House initially defended the post, arguing some childish pretext from a cartoon. As usual Trump went TACO and took down his offensive post, lying by blaming an intern for "erroneously" making the post, and adding insult to injury by claiming the video was shared by mistake. It is not the sharing that is offensive, it is the design of the video itself. But Trump knows - he said it many times - his republican MAGA base are dumb people to whom he can lie and they'll always believe him. 

You want genuine jesuitic hypocrisy? Listen to this justification: "A Trump ally claimed the president did not know about the video before it was posted and that the staffer “really let the president down” by sharing it. In that White Outhouse, anyone can post garbage under Donald Trump's name? 

A senior adviser to Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.) — another high-profile Black Republican lawmaker, who is the front-runner in Florida’s gubernatorial race — called the White House about the post and was also told that the staffer let the president down.

The moment marked a unique episode in Trump’s second term, when some of the president’s most reliable defenders found themselves publicly condemning a video posted by Trump’s own account.

Around the same time the post was taken down, another two Republican senators and a GOP House member publicly called on the president to do so.

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), chair of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee, called the video “totally unacceptable” and said Trump “should take it down and apologize.”

Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) gave the best interpretation of the event: “Even if this was a Lion King meme, a reasonable person sees the racist context to this,” he wrote in a post on X. But how many people are "reasonable" in the Trump administration? Some House Republicans have called on Trump to apologize, but to request from a mad demented assh- - - to apologize is a shot in the dark.

“Racism and hatred have no place in our country—ever. They divide our people and weaken the foundations of our democracy,” pontificated MAGA Representative Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.  “Whether intentional or careless, this post is a grave failure of judgment and is absolutely unacceptable from anyone—most especially from the President of the United States. A clear and unequivocal apology is owed,” he added. It is stunning that Fitzpatrick is even conceding the possibility that the video was intentional, which should make Fitzpatrick question his allegiance to the racist dictator.

Several other GOP lawmakers addressed and condemned the deleted post Friday afternoon. What leap of intelligence does it take for them to link Trump's vile and ignorant thinking about African-Americans to his treatment of all the dark-skinned Americans and migrants whom he has callously harassed, and occasionally killed, at the hands of his ICE-GESTAPO stormtroopers. 

Make no mistake about it: Trump is a racist who is trying to "bleach" the skin of America from all the garbage and shithole genes that have infiltrated it and are staining his "beautiful white skin". 

How long will it take those MAGA sycophantic cowards to understand and take concrete action against the madman who is planning to destroy America and its democracy as we always knew it?

Trump Laying Groundwork for Scuttling Upcoming Elections

For Republicans, the federal government should stay out of meddling in the affairs of the individual states. That is what they say about education, abortion and everything in between.

But, just as they did with immigration, over whose control they have challenged the States, they are planning to hijack - they use the term "federalize" - the November 2026 legislative elections because the popular tide is against them. Just as they federalized - "ICE"d - immigration, particularly in Democrat-leaning states and cities, they plan on ICE'ing elections by dispatching their ICE -GESTAPO police to polling stations to scare off voters under the pretense of preventing illegal immigrants from voting.

And this is only the beginning. Trump already sees his twilight over the horizon, but his temperament is such that he is likely to violate all norms and laws to unconstitutionally keep himself in power in 2028. If, as expected, his MAGA-GOP camp loses the 2026 elections, he will claim they were rigged, and even though Congress becomes a hostile rather than servile entity to him, his madness will make him even more unhinged and take the country further down a fascist racist militarization of the country. Unless the centrist-moderate wing of the GOP-MAGA-Republican universe stands up firmly with Democrats, there is no doubt that Civil War II is upon us. 

With Trump, the cave-dwelling backwoods barbarians of the white supremacist militias, embraced by the angry deplorable and ignorant white trash riffraff peasants of the south and middle of the country, and armed for decades by the NRA, have tasted power for the first time in their long sordid history. They will not willingly return to their caves and burrows. Yes, a tragic battle is looming before us, and unless those "moderate" Republicans stop their fearful and cowardly retreat from decency, they will be held responsible for the abyss in which the country is heading. 

When "moderate" Muslims failed to distance themselves from the terrorist barbarian Islamists, they stand accused of protecting them inside an intellectual safe haven.

When "moderate" Jews fail to speak up against the Zionist terrorist and genocidal barbarians, they stand accused of protecting and defending the indefensible under deceitful pretexts.

When "moderate" GOP-Republicans fail in the cowardice to stand up to the emerging threat to the country that Trump and his goons represent, we will continue to accuse them of defending the indefensible and participating in the rape of the country. They will be held responsible.

Jen Psaki Sounds Alarm on Trump Over New Election Rant: ‘Laying the Groundwork’ to ‘Undermine’ Midterms

MS NOW host and former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki ripped President Donald Trump’s newest rant about taking over elections, warning he’s “laying the groundwork” to undermine the midterms if he loses.

NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas  scored a big exclusive interview with Trump that’s set to air on Super Bowl Sunday, with clips rolling out in advance. In one exchange, Trump is pressed about his remarks this week on Republicans “taking over” elections.

On Wednesday’s edition of MS NOW’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki, Psaki sounded the alarm over that exchange, in which Trump gives a qualified response when asked if he will “accept” election results:

JEN PSAKI: OK. So much to get to tonight. Lots and lots and lots of news. And as I was watching today, I was thinking about the fact that if there was any question, any question at all, from anywhere, from anyone about whether or not American democracy is under threat right now, the president of the United States was asked just hours ago about his calls for an unconstitutional federal takeover of elections. He was also asked about whether or not he will accept the will of the voters in November. And see for yourself what he said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We can’t allow cheating in elections. Now if we need to put in federal controls as opposed to state controls, remember this, they’re really an agent. They’re really accumulating the votes for who wins an election. If they can’t do it honestly and it can’t be done properly and timely, then something else has to happen.

TOM LLAMAS, HOST, “NBC NIGHTLY NEWS”: Will you trust the results of the midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress?

TRUMP: Of — I will, if the elections are honest.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

PSAKI: Trump is laying the groundwork. We all know this. We’ve all watched what he has been doing. And he has really upped his game in the last few days. He’s laying the groundwork to undermine the validity of the midterm elections. Make absolutely no mistake about it. I mean, it’s the same language he used in the lead-up to the 2020 election, the same language he used to sow doubt in the outcome if he did not win. And when he says — when you just heard him say “if the elections are honest,” he means if his party wins, that’s what he means.

And there’s a simple and very obvious reason he’s doing this, and it’s because he’s increasingly unpopular. He does not think he and his party can win on their own. And there’s reason he thinks that, because a new Quinnipiac poll out today finds Trump’s approval rating is now just 37 percent. And that’s 3 points down from where he was in that same poll just three weeks ago.

On every single issue, from the economy to immigration to foreign policy, Trump’s approval rating continues to sink to new and deeper lows. And so Trump is doing what he has done his entire life. He is trying to lie and cheat his way out of it. He’s denying that there is any way voters could reject the path that he and his party have put us on. And that’s not just Trump’s self-delusion. It’s an intentional strategy.

And a crucial element of that strategy, a critical part of how he tries to lie his way out of unpopularity is to try and make it so that his narrative is the only one people hear. That’s his dream. That’s what he wants to happen. And I don’t just mean by being louder than his critics or by saying things that are more outlandish than his critics.

Since taking office, Trump has done everything he can to cut off access to reliable information about his administration. He banned the Associated Press from the White House Press Pool. He killed all federal funding for public broadcasting. He shuttered the overseas offices of Voice of America News. He took control of the military news outlet Stars and Stripes.

His minion over at the FCC has made mob-like threats against broadcast networks that do any sort of critical coverage of his administration. He’s threatened news organizations with lawsuits over their reporting, sometimes getting them to fork over millions of dollars that they could have spent on quality journalism. He’s put new restrictions on Pentagon reporters, forcing the most legitimate press out of the building altogether and replaced them with right-wing propagandists. And that’s not to mention what he’s done to the White House Briefing Room, which is make it Kremlin-esque. His FBI has even taken the extreme step of raiding the home of a Washington Post reporter who happened to be very well-sourced within the federal government that he’s currently running.

At every turn, he’s tried to cut off the public’s access to truth, to real fact-based reporting about how he’s running the country. What he desperately wants is for his warped version of the story to be the only thing out there, unchallenged, unchecked, no one questioning it.

Watch above via MS NOW’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki.

 

Worried about Losing Elections? Let's Cancel them, says the Moron

"Trump-Kennedy Center" doing very poorly compared to "Kennedy Center"? Let's demolish it.

The As-h-le in chief knows he will be losing big next November. His own people are sick of him, and many are peeling off the MAGA tattoo to look good on election day. But many others, the cowardly and the racist types, are still hanging on to his coattails.

So, he begins NOW to announce that elections slated for next November are already "rigged". He did it in 2020: He'll accept the results only if he is elected. Otherwise, if he is defeated, that means they were rigged. "Rigged" elections, acccording to the Orangutan, have nothing to do with the HOW elections can be rigged. They have to do with the results of the elections. I lose, they're rigged. I win, they're not rigged. That is how a 7-year old thinks.

Why do morons not understand his dirty game? They are morons, wad'yya expect?
====================================================


Trump’s plan for the Kennedy Center is a preview for what he wants to do with American elections
Andrew Feinberg
Wed, February 4, 2026


[The Great Leader and Big Brother, the likes of which has never existed in recorded history, except maybe Xerxes, Hitler and Gengis Khan, looking lovingly at his adoring people down below]

To understand why President Donald Trump is shutting down one of America’s premier cultural institutions — and why he’s urging what would be an illegal takeover of the basic machinery of democracy in places where his party doesn’t win — one has to turn back the clock four years.

At this time in 2021, Joe Biden was president, Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago home and was very much a pariah in much of polite society after he fomented a riot at the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power after losing the 2020 election. Staring down what would become four years of political exile in Florida, Trump spent much of that time stewing over not just his defeat at the hands of Biden but a laundry list of slights accumulated over the course of his first four years in the White House — and plotting revenge.

Besides his refusal to accept that he’d lost convincingly, Trump was nursing another grievance over the failure of America’s cultural establishment — music, theater, film and the like — to embrace him as a cultural icon in the way they had his predecessor, Barack Obama.

Trump has spent years venting about Hollywood and its stars, especially those who speak out against him. So it's no surprise that when he returned to the White House, he quickly put the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in his crosshairs. He quickly took over the center’s operation and made himself the chair. He gutted the staff. He changed the performance schedule. He alienated artists.

The Center is now just a shell of its former self, and will soon be just a physical shell as Trump has now announced plans to gut the center for renovations.

If you thought his plans to remake the Kennedy Center were extreme, Trump is floating a similar makeover for the entire American election system. His Kennedy Center plans have upset the arts world; his election plans, however, could change the course of history.

When Trump took over the Kennedy Center, he fired the well-regarded president of the Kennedy Center, philanthropist David Rubenstein, and installed himself atop the organization. He also removed most of the board and replaced the departed members with sycophants and allies from across Washington, while his handpicked executive director for the center, ex-acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, set about purging the organization of anything deemed too “woke.”

At the very core, the takeover was designed to let Trump get even for how he felt he’d been unfairly denigrated during his first term at every turn by cultural elites — think Robert de Niro’s ‘f**k Trump’ speech at the 2018 Tony Awards — while Obama, the first Black president, had been undeservedly venerated.

But the revenge tour at the Kennedy Center has not gone well, to say the least.

Ticket sales began to dip in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s takeover. Performers also began to cancel performances and seek alternative venues in Washington, with the producers of the hit musical Hamilton scrapping plans for a 2026 visit to the center due to what producer Jeffrey Seller called the “recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center.”

Seller also said the decision was a business move meant to hedge against the new-look Kennedy Center management trying to renegotiate the terms of the musical’s contract.

The sorts of luminaries who normally grace the center’s stages still haven’t embraced Trump — and they’re staying away for good now that he’s grafted his own name onto the building above Kennedy’s as a show of dominance.

So he’s now shutting the center down, ostensibly for renovations — even though the building underwent significant renovations and an expansion within the last ten years — in what preservationists fear will be a re-run of his demolition of the East Wing just four months ago. It was a hastily announced move that even caught board members off guard.

It’s the equivalent of a disgruntled chess player upending the entire board when he starts to lose rather than make any adjustments to his strategy.

And it’s exactly what he’s threatening to do with America’s elections.

Trump is now also talking about the federal need to take over elections from the states. He has long complained about past voting results (Getty Images)

Five years after his blatant lies about the conduct of the 2020 race in key swing states led to a deadly riot among his supporters at the U.S. Capitol, Trump is once again threatening to illegally put the federal government in charge of elections that the Constitution specifically puts in the wheelhouse of each of America’s 50 states.

In the U.S., elections are run at the county or city level, and because of differences in how different states allow postal ballots and early vote results to be counted, Trump and his allies have been arguing for years that elections that end with Democrats winning on the strength of those votes are per se illegitimate.

During one recent interview with podcaster (and former FBI Deputy Director) Dan Bongino, Trump claimed investigations into the 2020 results would show there were “states that I won that show I didn’t win” and claimed to have thrice won electoral votes from Minnesota, a state where no Republican has won since Richard Nixon carried the Gopher State in his 49-state romp over George McGovern in 1972.

Yet he still told Bongino he “won the state three times” but “got no credit” because it’s a “rigged state” that is “really rigged badly with the Somalians” even though the number of Somali-Americans living there is fewer than the margin by which he lost the state in 2024, 2020 and 2016.

The president also argued that the GOP “should take over the voting in at least 15 places” and “nationalize” voting in defiance of the Constitution because those places “are so crooked.” That is why, he thinks, the federal government should take over elections. It would be against the Constitution and a major shift from the nation’s 250 years of elections.

It’s unclear what authority Trump would have to carry out such a move, which would be in blatant violation of the nation’s founding document. And there’s no evidence that any of those elections in the places he lost five years ago are “crooked” — because those results were confirmed by multiple recounts demanded by Trump’s own team.

But that’s not the point.

The point is that the president, with the unyielding backing of a supine GOP-controlled Congress and acquiescence from many of the wealthiest and most powerful people and institutions in the country, is now unwilling to countenance not getting his way, whether it’s from pesky theater kids or from voters.

If he can bend the elections to his will by browbeating Congress into passing legislation to make it harder for Democrats to vote, or by bullying GOP-led state governments into taking over elections in Democratic-led cities, that’s what he’ll do.

But if that doesn’t work and his party loses the midterms, he is equally likely to try what he’s trying at the Kennedy Center by pushing to throw everything out and remake it as he sees fit.

For Trump, the Obamas are Apes

 

 

White House Defends AI Video Of Obamas As Apes Posted On Donald Trump’s Truth Social Account

UPDATED WITH WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT: Karoline Leavitt has defended an apparently AI-generated clip portraying Barack and Michelle Obama as apes shared on Donald Trump’s Truth Social account.

In a statement sent to Deadline, the White House Press Secretary said: “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Overnight, the U.S. president’s verified account twice posted a minute-long video about voting machine anomalies, which features the PatriotNewsOutlet.com watermark. In the final moments of the video, a two-second clip flashes up showing the Obamas as apes, dancing in a jungle setting to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

The clip of the Obamas features an “@XERIAS_X” watermark, and it appears that the account originally posted the video in October last year. The 55-second video portrays Trump as a lion, while Hillary Clinton and Zohran Mamdani are depicted as a warthog and hyena respectively.

The @XERIAS_X account has a profile photo of Pepe the Frog dressed as Trump. The account claimed credit for the “fighter jet poop” AI video posted by Trump during the “No Kings” protests last year.

The White House did not respond to Deadline questions about whether Trump personally shared the post on Truth Social, or if he was aware of the Obama clip inserted into the voting machine video.

The post was condemned by Trump’s critics. California Governor Gavin Newsom’s X/Twitter account said: “Disgusting behavior by the President. Every single Republican must denounce this. Now.”

The post came amid a flurry of updates on Trump’s Truth Social. Other clips shared on the president’s account included a dog magically appearing from behind a kitchen counter when hearing the sound of whipped cream being squirted.

Trump’s Truth Social account has previously shared posts that have been condemned as racist. Last year, the account shared a video that showed the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, with a fake mustache and sombrero.

Jeffries denounced the memes at the time and has done the same with the Obama post. “President Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, compassionate and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country,” he said. “Donald Trump is a vile, unhinged and malignant bottom feeder. Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by this sick individual? Every single Republican must immediately denounce Donald Trump’s disgusting bigotry.”

No one in the US has mocked white trash Americans like Trump as swine. That is because they are authentic pigs.

For Trump, KKK Assassins are not Racists

Donald Trump is refusing to label a Ku Klux Klan member convicted of murdering a civil rights leader  a "racist". The demented senile convicted criminal has directed the National Park Service to remove any mention of racism regarding the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument in Jackson, Mississippi.

White supremacist and KKK member Byron De La Beckwith shot Medgar Evers in the back - racists and cowards too - in his drivewayn June 12, 1963. Trump has ordered that the grisly description of Evers lying in his blood be deleted from all literature pertaining to the crime. This is similiar to what the racist fascist Zionists have decided last month: They told all historians and keepers of records to delete all mentions of the Gaza genocide. Distorting history is, of course, a staple of racist criminals who think that deleting truth and reality is sufficient to remove the stain of their criminality for the rest of history. It's so stupid and desperate. 

Idiots like Trump handle things by their tail. He thinks that all these petty alterations of history he is mandating will efface the past. He also thinks that if he takes an existing prestigious entity (Penn Station, Kennedy Center, etc...) and adds his name to it - even though he has no credit or merit in the entity - the glory of it will simply become his. The entire United states is becoming Trump this and Trump that. Only the MAGA fools continue to believe this moron.

Medgar Evers' wife Myrlie spent 30 years fighting for justice for her husband and later served as NAACP board chair, delivering the invocation at Barack Obama’s second inauguration. There were several assassinations of civil rights advocates by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi during the civil rights era. Many of those crimes went unpunished, including Evers’ murder. Beckwith was acquitted twice by all-white juries and welcomed back into society. He was later convicted of bombing the home of a Jewish leader in New Orleans. 

It seems that Black lives don't matter as much as Jewish (because white) lives. Funny that Trump and his racist goons claim to love Israel and Jews, when their deep ideology is fundamentally antisemitic. How do these two partners in racist crime against Blacks, Arabs,  immigrants, Catholics, and anyone who is not White Anglo-Saxon Protestant reconcile this difference is beyind logic. White American supremacists and evangelical "Christians" do love Jews to death, literally. They support Israel not out of love for Jews, but out of antisemitic hatred of Jews: Israel is for these barbarians the place where the End of Times will take place, at which point Jews MUST convert to Christianity, accept Jesus as the Messiah, or else be killed by the very Evangelicals that claim to love them.

“Nig-ge-rs are beasts. It says so in here in the book of Adam,” Beckwith said in a 1990 interview, where he praised white supremacy and the Jim Crow era.

But while Beckwith may be a racist by his own admission, the federal government under Trump is insidiously racist. It doesn't dare say what it really thinks. But it should be judged by its actions: All mentions of black African American heroes are being deleted from all literature, monuments, cemeteries, history books, government websites.... You really have to be an idiot to think that you can delete facts and events in an age where everything is recorded a million times a day. This will pass. Once this assh o o l e is out, any president with decency will restore and reinstate sanity and truth to the history of the United States.

Even though Beckwith was finally convicted of Evers’ murder in 1994—more than 30 years after the killing—Trump's executive order in March 2025 titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” was essentially a detailed roadmap on how to erase all contributions by African Americans, women and all non-white Americans to the country. Together with his barbaric anti-immigration policies, Trump is clearly trying to "bleach" America of its other colors. 

The order directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to scrutinize public monuments, memorials, statues, and other similar properties that “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history.” Just weeks ago, National Park Service staff took down slavery exhibits at Philadelphia’s Independence Mall, detailing the history of nine people enslaved by President George Washington.

Bob Dylan wrote a magnificent song about the murder of Edgar Evers in which he not only laments the murder, but makes the brainwashing of white imbeciles by racist leaders like Trump an even greater crime. 

Here are the lyrics:

A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood
A finger fired the trigger to his name
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark

Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game

A south politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame

And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train

But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game


The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate

So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in

But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game

How the World Now "Respects" the US

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Tobias Kratzer spoke in disbelief ahead of the world premiere of “Monster's Paradise” by Olga Neuwirth and Elfriede Jelinek, which features a gluttonous, ravenous, insatiable President-King, lampooning U.S. President Donald Trump.

“The metaphor has become a reality,” the Hamburg State Opera artistic director said in his office Sunday morning. “I’m really hoping in — what is it, eight hours? — the piece is not completely outdated because up until now it has always gone closer and closer to not being a satire but being reality.”

Jelinek, 79 and winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature, collaborated with Neuwirth for the first time in two decades, the Austrian duo combining on a German-language libretto. The 57-year-old Neuwirth won the 2022 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, three years after she became the first woman composer with a work presented at the Vienna State Opera.

Chorus members dressed as zombies and roamed the foyers before the opera and during the intermission, along with Disney-styled princesses and dancing hot dogs. The opera began with a Las Vegas-style LED sign and action on a passerelle.

A 19th-century satire was the starting point

Alfred Jarry’s 1896 play “Ubu Roi” was the inspiration, a profane, scatological work that had a one-performance run in Paris, cut short by an angry audience response.

Aspects of Jarry’s King Wenceslas and Ubu characters were adapted into The President-King for what Neuwirth and Jelinek call a Grand Guignol opera, which has a six-performance run through Feb. 19. It moves to the Zurich Opera from March 8 to April 12 and next season to Austria’s Oper Graz. An audio recording is planned.

The President-King entered in a gilded Oval Office with a Coca-Cola filled refrigerator. A golden crown sat on his desk along with a red button that jettisoned visitors such as an Elvis Presley impersonator in the manner of a TV game show as a trio of red X-shaped lights flashed. A woman resembling Melania Trump lurked in the background.

“I have long known Jarry’s play, but when Trump came to power, I instantly thought of it,” Jelinek said in an emailed response to questions translated from German.

Vampi and Bampi, a pair of pun-prone vampires sung by Sarah Defrise and Kristina Stanek, are avatars of the authors during five scenes that unfold over 2 hours, 45 minutes, and they frame action in the manner of Wagner's Rheinmaidens and Norns. The President-King (sung by Georg Nigl) is opposed by Gorgonzilla (Anna Clementi), a monster spawned by a nuclear accident. One of the early titles was “Godzilla,” but it was changed because of a rights issue.

Mickey and Tuckey, the President-King's adjutants sung by countertenors Andrew Watts and Eric Jurenas, were patterned after Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, according to Kratzer, who directed the production. They sing lines such as: “Nobody has such high numbers as you.”

Charlotte Rampling, in several projected videos, portrays a character called The Goddess who defends nature and civilization. Gorgonzilla devours the The President-King, but the creature also becomes an authoritarian. The opera ends with video of the vampires drifting on a platform along the Elbe while playing Schubert on a Bösendorfer piano, worrying the Earth has been destroyed by its leaders.

Outlandish portrayal of Trump-like character

The President-King grows to huge dimensions while wearing a diaper and golden necktie in Rainer Sellmaier's set and costume design, and he plants a golf club on Gorgonzilla's rock, much like the White House AI photo of Trump landing on Greenland. The President-King boasts of winning “Ohoho” and “Tuxus,” and his lead in “Pennsilfania” isn't even close.

Wearing Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy masks, the vampires attack The President-King with sledgehammers and saws, which have no impact. The one resembling Miss Piggy mimics missing with a rifle, prompting The President-King to raise a fist in defiance.

“People of power are always afraid of humor,” Neuwirth said. “For example, Hitler was so afraid of Charlie Chaplin’s `The (Great) Dictator' — he watched it secretly in his room in Berlin — because they are afraid to be laughed at. They have this ego, which is not allowed to be questioned.”

Neuwirth composed for a Mozart-sized orchestra adding an electric guitar and a drum kit, as characters often used Sprechstimme — spoken-word singing. Conductor Titus Engle melded Neuwirth's many musical genres.

“I’m not playing the American president, but it’s very close,” Nigl said. “I am playing a misogynist. I am playing a braggart. I am playing a fraudster, a despiser.”

Nigl portrayed Russian President Vladimir Putin last year in Gordon Kampe’s “Die Kreide im Mund des Wolfs (The Chalk in the Wolf’s Mouth).” Nigl said his most important words in this opera are when he sings: “He who has millions does not need voters.”

Trump's reaction is on their minds

Neuwirth vowed “I’m never going to write an opera again,” adding she will reveal her reason at a later date.

She is aware she could face repercussions from the U.S. administration.

“I’m kind of a little bit afraid because I want to still enter the United States,” she said.

Jelinek remained unconcerned.

“I am not afraid. I am a small, unimportant European woman,” she wrote in her emailed responses.

Texas Sen. Candidate Tells the Truth: Atheists are more Christ-like than Christians

American "Christians" believe in competition and the laws of the jungle. They are Darwinian to the bone, but reject Darwin's Law of Evolution by Natural Selection. But one of Christ's main teachings is counter to Darwinian principles: Do nor pursue money and wealth (Evangelicals do love money and wealth). Keep politics separate from religion (Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's), but Evangelical pseudo-Christian criminals, like their Muslim Taliban or Iranian Mullah counterparts, want religion to superseed and manage politics. Love your enemy, says Christ. Hate your enemy say the Evangelical barbarians. And so on and so forth. Love the poor, the stranger and the destitute, says Christ; Hate the poor, the migrant and the destitute, say the American Evangelical Christians.

So, when a Texas Senate candidate says that people from other religions and people without religion are better "Christians" than those who claim to be Christian, he's onto something. Religion did not discover ethics and morality. In fact, religion was - and still is - more often than not used against ethics and morality. The human species discovered the "Golden Rule" long before the emergence of religions in human societies: Humans discovered that "cooperation" is a better formula for survival than warmongering, violence and plunder and mayhem. The only reason the human species has been so successful is because of cooperation and living together, the hallmarks of all morality and ethics.

I don't need God, Allah, Dieu, Gott, Dios...or whatever the name of the Big Zombie in the Sky is to understand the basis of all human morality: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

American Christians are Christian only in name. Don't believe them. Believe what your heart and your mind tell you.

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico is being praised for his courageous comments on God and faith after saying on a podcast that atheists are "more Christ-like than" some of his Christian colleagues in the Texas House. Naturally, the barbarian fake Christian conservatives and white supremacists are not happy. Like their Muslim counterparts of the Taliban or the Iranian Mullahs, they cannot accept dissent from the pernicious religious dogmas they want to impose on people in order to maintain their control of the "herds".

"Instead of putting the 10 Commandments in every classroom, instead of forcing school children to read the Bible against their wills, why don't we, all of us, look inward and figure out how we can be more Christ-like, even when it's uncomfortable," Talarico, a Democrat in the Texas House, said on the "Politics War Room" podcast published Friday. The podcast is hosted by journalist Al Hunt and Democratic strategist James Carville.

"I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikh Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians I serve with in the Texas legislature," Talarico said. "It is about how you treat other people."

The Texas Democrat is running to serve as a U.S. senator by unseating Republican Sen. John Cornyn. "There is a backlash growing in Texas against the extremism and the corruption that we're seeing at all levels of our government, and I'm seeing it everywhere I go," Talarico explained of what he's seeing from the campaign trail to flip the seat blue.

Talarico is a former school teacher and Presbyterian seminarian. He says he leans on his Christianity as he works in the "halls of power" while taking aim at conservatives. "Christian nationalism, you see people's faith growing out of their politics, right?" he said. "They're baptizing their partisanship, and they're calling that Christianity. And it's why it doesn't resemble the life, death and teachings of Jesus Christ, right?

"These Christians in Congress, these Christian nationalists, they want a Christian nation unless it means providing health care to the sick, unless it means funding food assistance for the hungry or raising the minimum wage for the poor."

His remarks were welcomed by large swaths of American citizens who feel oppressed by the obscurantist resurgence of Trump's ultra-religious barbarians who are Christian in name only, but have nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Most Americans can tell a phoney from a genuine human being. Unfortunately, an ignorant illiterate segment of Americans have fallen for the lies and the bigotry, and were instrumental in bringing the fake Christian criminal and cheater Donald Dumb to power.

Talarico has a long history of speaking the truth about God, Jesus, Christianity and religion in general. He's an educated Christian seminarian and he knows more about Chrustianity than any of the criminal Evangelical bigots who take offense at his telling the truth.

State Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat from Texas and U.S. Senate candidate, joined Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2025, where he also claimed the Bible permits abortion.

In an interview with a New York Times podcast in January, Talarico said that his Christian faith has grown "by learning more about Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism," adding that "these beautiful faith traditions are circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos. And that truth is inherently a mystery. He is still entrenched in the cocoon of religious supersititions, but he has taken a major step toward liberating the poor MAGA morons from the grip of Evangelical oppression and control. We need him to liberate backward Texas from the jail of ultra-barbarian religion.

MAGA Co-Founder Marjorie Taylor Greene: MAGA "Was" All a Lie

Marjorie Taylor dice que «no pasa nada» si Trump no está de acuerdo ... 

Nothing cleaner than the truth from the mouth of former liars. If Marjorie Taylor Greene has changed her mind, and has only now discovered that Trump's MAGA was one big lie, doesn't she bear any responsibility for having believed the lie in the first place?

Isn't it the job of a politician to know in advance what is good and what is bad for their constitutents and for the country? If they can't have a long term view on the consequences of their actions or affiliations, then why become politicians? If any jackass citizen can jump into the arena of politics, make tragic mistakes, then turn around and say, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know...", then why have these expensive and long campaigns? Why not elect our representatives with a coin toss or a lottery?

Marjorie Taylor Greene was a big enabler of Donald Trump during his two terms. She now is telling the country she was wrong and Trump was a big liar. Fine. But many of her rivals and adversaries were telling her all through the past ten years that Trump was a criminal, a liar, an idiot, and all she had to do was to look at his political actions - the seditious attack on Congress, his "partnerhsip" with Vladimir Putin, etc. - and his own personal life of crime, adultery, cheating.... Couldn't she foresee, like many average citizens did, that he was unfit  to the office? 

You can't judge a politician by his/her campaign promises because delivering on these promises requires the convergence of many factors that are often outside the reach of the politician. That is why voters should judge candidates on the basis of their history, character and integrity. With the first of these three criteria as a guide, we all knew that Trump had the character of a thuggish and stupid adolescent who lacked the slightest shred of integrity. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene should be held responsible for her part in bringing Trump to power. If she runs again for office, voters should remind her of that fact. You can't ride the easy part then bail out when the ride becomes rough, and claim you didn't know. It's like all these Epstein friends who now say they didn't know.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Bluntly Declares MAGA ‘Was All a Lie’ in Scalding Take on Trump’s GOP
Sean James
Sun, February 1, 2026

Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene went absolutely nuts on President Donald Trump in a new interview, branding his Make America Great Again movement a “big lie” and accusing the president of ignoring U.S. citizens so that he can focus on waging “war on behalf of Israel.”

The ex-lawmaker shared her eyebrow-raising thoughts in an interview with political commentator Kim Iversen on YouTube on Thursday.

“MAGA is — I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people,” Greene said.

She said Trump has completely turned on his base and is more worried about serving the “big big donors” who send money to his PACs and have pitched in for his new ballroom.

“Those are the people that get the special favors, the government contracts, they get the pardons,” Greene said. “And it’s the foreign countries that are running the show here. It’s the major big corporations and what is best for the world. That’s really what MAGA is.”

Greene then accused the president of caring more about Iran than what’s going on in the USA.

“I’m sorry, we’ve got civil war practically breaking out in Minnesota, can we not care about that?” she said.

Greene then moved to bashing Israel, which she said Trump is fixated on. She accused him of overlooking “murdered” Gazans so that he can eventually build a new Trump hotel.

“We’re seeing war on behalf of Israel,” Greene fumed. “We’re seeing the people in Gaza — innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered, so that they can build some new real estate development and money can pour in and everyone can get rich there in New Gaza.”

Her comments come a few weeks after Greene resigned from Congress. She announced she was leaving public office last fall amid her feud with Trump, which largely stemmed from her accusing the president of not moving fast enough to release files on dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump in return gave her the nickname Marjorie “Traitor” Greene and said his former ally had “some sort of act going on.”

Trump's Accomplice Putin's Role in Destroying the EU: Seed it with Terrorists and Rapists

Trump and Putin have a joint plan for destroying the European Union.

 

Trump is manhandling the Europeans with tariffs and threatening to annex Greenland and Canada while claiming that these two countries are a greater danger to US interests than his own border with Russia in Alaska.

Putin is depleting the European Union of its resources in a protracted war in Ukraine that neither he nor Trump seem too eager to bring to an end. Trump always lies. When he said he can solve the Ukraine war in 24 hours, he knew he was lying to his MAGA herd of morons; in fact he meant the exact opposite. He is as interested as Putin is in dragging the Ukraine war as long as they can to keep weakening the EU: Trump on the western flanks of Europe and Putin on its eastern flanks.

Now we learn that Putin's next step, should an agreement be reached over Ukraine, is to dispatch thousands of his criminal Russian soldiers, terrorists and rapists into the EU to wreak havoc there. In the agreement, Putin will insist in the ceasefire agreement on open borders and limited restrictions on travel by Russians into the EU.

Move over Islamic terrorism. Welcome Russian terrorism.

Putin ‘will send thousands of criminals to wreak havoc across Europe’
Joe Barnes
Sun, February 1, 2026


Vladimir Putin could send Russian soldiers to Europe to wreak havoc, according to the Estonian foreign minister

Vladimir Putin is preparing to send hundreds of thousands of former soldiers to wreak havoc across Europe after any ceasefire in Ukraine, Estonia’s foreign minister told The Telegraph.

Margus Tsahkna has proposed a blanket ban on Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine from the European Union’s Schengen free-travel zone in response to the Kremlin’s plans to dispatch “ex-prisoners and rapists” to wage hybrid war in the bloc.

He invited the UK to join the scheme to boost collaboration in order to prepare the continent for what could be “very, very sudden security risk for Europe” after a potential peace deal.

“We have close to one million combatants in Russia right now,” Mr Tsahkna told The Telegraph on the sidelines of an EU meeting in Brussels.

“Russia and Putin are already using different people to commit attacks on our societies, but when there will be peace, we can imagine that we will have hundreds of thousands of ex-combatants coming to Europe.

“And they’re definitely not going with good plans to earn their own salaries and pay taxes. They come with real bad plans. We already see the special agencies of Russia organising different attacks in Europe.”

Margus Tsahkna wants a blanket ban on Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine - David Rose for The Telegraph

The Estonian’s fear is Putin will use any pause in the fighting in Ukraine to refocus his aggression on Europe through hybrid warfare.

Europe and Britain have seen a sharp rise in Russian-linked sabotage operations since Moscow’s 2022 invasion of its neighbour.

In 2024, Kremlin proxies were linked to an arson attack on an east London warehouse which was storing satellite communication devices for Ukraine.

While counter-terror police investigating an alleged arson attack on a property owned by Sir Keir Starmer last year are looking into Russian involvement.

Similar, often mysterious, high-profile incidents have been reported across mainland Europe in recent years.

Over the past six months Estonia’s security services have been looking into how Putin could use former soldiers to further ramp up his hybrid war against Nato.

“They are perfect for this mission, ” Mr Tsahkna said. “But they definitely have a very bad background, and also mentally, you know they have been killing, raping… so this is a very, very sudden danger for European security.”

That is why Mr Tsahkna has asked his EU colleagues to consider a blanket ban on entry for former Russian combatants from the Schengen zone, as well as an embargo on work visas and residence permits.

The bloc’s free-movement zone covers 29 countries, spanning from the Balearic islands to the Baltics.

In a diplomatic note circulated to EU foreign ministers, seen by The Telegraph, Estonia warned that there are an estimated 1.5 million Russian citizens who have taken part in the war in Ukraine, with around 640,000 still in active service.

“We see ex-prisoners and rapists, all of these crazy guys, on the battlefield, and Putin doesn’t want that in Russia,” Mr Tsahkna warned.

“They will be weaponised. They will be sent to Europe… And we know exactly how to fight against the Russian military as Nato, but this is more dangerous, and we need to act now while they’re still stuck on the battlefield.”

The warning from Estonia is the latest from a Nato country arguing that Europe needs to be more vigilant against the Russian threat - Jeff J Mitchell/Getty

The minister said individual EU countries are already capable of implementing their own embargo on former Russian soldiers entering at the bloc’s external borders.

Estonia imposed a ban on 261 ex-combatants earlier this month amid fears that criminal offences were being committed by former service personnel.

“Up to 180,000 convicted prisoners were recruited directly from Russian penal colonies into special military units,” Estonian intelligence presented in its document.

“Many returnees have already committed serious crimes. The total number of which has reached a 15-year high in Russia in the first of 2025, and this upsurge is likely linked to the mass return of ex-combatants.”

Mr Tsahkna said he had been given positive feedback from his colleagues for his proposals for an EU-wide ban, and said the bloc’s prime ministers and presidents could issue political guidance at their next Brussels meeting.

Tallinn is already sharing the names of suspected Russian soldiers who could attempt to travel to the EU after any ceasefire in Ukraine.
‘We need to do this now’

Asked whether Britain could play a role in the blanket ban, the minister told The Telegraph: “We are already collaborating a lot if you’re talking about terrorists and these kinds of not good persons who want to enter.

“I see lots of opportunities to co-ordinate this as well with states who are not members of Schengen.

“But we need to do it right now, we’re not ready for peace, Europe is not ready for peace.”

The UK, even while a member of the EU, was not a part of the bloc’s Schengen free-movement zone. However, Sir Keir’s post-Brexit reset in relations with Brussels has attempted to secure better access to EU crime and migration databases for the UK.

In theory, Britain could gain access to any EU list of former Russian soldiers to implement its own ban, while also sharing intelligence in the opposite direction.

A UK government spokesman said: “Border security is national security, and we have strict measures at our disposal to protect our country against the threat from Russia.

“We will continue working in partnership with our allies to bring our full capabilities to bear against those who seek to threaten our values, harm our citizens, and undermine our collective security.”

Why is "Israel-First" SuperPAC Against Release of Epstein Files?

Why are Israel-First superPAC billionaire Zionists Paul Singer, Miriam Adelson, and John Paulson desperate to prevent the American people from accessing the Epstein Files? Are they friends of the pedophile? Have they visited his island? Or are they just paying criminal Trump back for his servile friendship with the criminal Zionists in Palestine?

Either case, this shows the power of American Zionist money in its collusion with, and directing of, American policy in Palestine. If you've ever wondered why the US "cannot" escape from the Zionist leash, this is one of million explanations. Forget common interest; the US has many more interests with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states. Forget the ambiguous and troubling "alliance" between the US and its mercenary outpost in Palestine; none of it matters. What matters is that Zionist American billionaires do "buy" this alliance by paying off members of the US Congress and administrations.

Massie hits critics after latest Epstein files release: ‘It was not a hoax’
Sarah Davis
Sat, January 31, 2026

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) hit back on Saturday amid a mounting effort from [Israel-First] superPAC to replace him in the upcoming midterm elections, saying he is being unfairly targeted for pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

“It was not a hoax, I cannot be bullied, I am not done, and this is why those in power are doing everything in their power to defeat me,” Massie wrote on the social platform X on Saturday.

Super PAC “MAGA KY” raised $2 million from June 19-30 last year, the group disclosed in a new Federal Election Committee filing. The fund’s top donor is American hedge fund owner Paul Singer, who contributed $1 million. John Paulson donated $250,000 to the group.

Massie said these two donors are targeting him because of his involvement in a bipartisan group of legislators pushing for the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Republican representative alleged that Paulson appeared in Epstein’s “black book,” a contact log kept by the disgraced financier.

“Within hours of the Epstein file release, a superPAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book, bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me,” Massie said in a second post on X. “I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.”

Due to Massie and other House members’ efforts, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which went into effect on Nov. 19. The law directed the Justice Department to release all files related to its probe into Epstein, with exceptions made for victim privacy.

The Justice Department released an additional 3 million documents in their final Epstein file release on Friday — well after Congress’s Dec. 19 deadline. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a court filing earlier this month that the department needed additional review time due to the sheer number of documents.

Massie is being challenged by Trump-endorsed GOP candidate Ed Gallrein, a retired Navy SEAL officer. President Trump, who has heavily criticized Massie, called Gallrein “A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET KENTUCKY DOWN” in a Truth Social post announcing his endorsement. In the same post, Trump called Massie a “Third Rate Congressman.”

The Kentucky legislator attributed the criticism to his refusal to “rubber stamp foreign aid, endless deficits, and unnecessary wars” in an X post responding to Trump’s endorsement of his opponent.

“I’m also exposing sex traffickers,” he added.

Massie defended his decision to push for the files’ release in another Saturday post, urging voters to check their representative’s stance on these efforts ahead of the midterm elections.

“If your representative, Democrat or Republican, is still silent about the Epstein files, or claiming it’s ‘much ado about nothing,’ it’s time to elect a new one,” Massie said. “Check their public statements today.”

Civil War II in US. World War III Around the Globe. What Say the Money Oracles?

 
Ray Dalio warns the economic world order is collapsing, and America may be headed into a ‘civil war.’ How to prepare
Moneywise
Sat, January 31, 2026

In the wake of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, billionaire and founder of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, is ringing a global fire alarm.

The short version? The old economic world order is gone, and it’s likely not coming back any time soon.

“Let’s not be naive, ok, and say: Oh, we’re breaking the rule-based system,” Dalio said in an interview with Fortune at the WEF. “It’s gone. It’s going.”

Dalio was referring to the current global balance of power between nations, which has hinged on relatively predictable U.S. foreign policy.

Since the start of 2025, under President Donald Trump’s administration, business has been anything but usual. April saw one of the largest dips in the S&P 500’s history, driven by U.S. “reciprocal” tariffs.

The rest of 2025 saw escalating rhetoric targeting long-standing allies such as Canada and Greenland — the latter of which was a flashpoint going into the WEF. In the months leading up to the forum, Trump publicly discussed the annexation of Greenland from Denmark, whether through economic or military force. This might be part of a push to access rare earth minerals trapped beneath the ice, according to CNBC.

But Dalio wasn’t just concerned about the implications of war: He was also following the money.

“There’s a line, a red line, that has to do with the military as it pertains to Greenland. And if there is a military move, it has capital war implications,” Dalio said in an interview with Bloomberg.

Essentially, wars suck up time and capital while eroding trust. Purchasing debt from a nation actively engaged in a war, for example, could be a bad bet, according to Dalio.

And this isn’t the first time Dalio has warned about a shaky grasp on the current global world order. In an interview on Leaders with Francine Lacqua, Dalio was confronted with a blunt question: “Could we be close to another world war?”

He didn’t hesitate. “We are in wars,” Dalio replied. “There is a financial money war, there's a technology war, there's geopolitical wars, and there are more military wars.”

Then came his more unsettling assessment: The U.S. itself isn’t immune.

“We have a civil war of some sort, which is developing in the United States and elsewhere, where there are irreconcilable differences,” Dalio said.

Here’s how things break down on the home front.

Mounting Division

Certainly, political opinion in America is sharply divided. The American Survey Center reported as of 2025 that 71% of Republicans were at least somewhat satisfied with the current state of affairs in the country, and only 12% of Democrats said the same. In 2024, 17% of Republicans and 51% of Democrats were satisfied. And yet, 61% of Americans across the political spectrum report dissatisfaction with the current administration and state of the nation.

With this in mind, Dalio’s bleak outlook may be more realistic.

It’s a stark warning — especially from someone who also cautioned earlier in the interview that “our power to hurt each other has never been greater.”

He outlined two paths the country could take.

The first, more hopeful scenario is one in which Americans “rise above it and realize that our common good is going to necessitate us dealing with it so that what works for most people is going to work.” But as he admitted, that may be “a little bit idealistic.”

The second is far bleaker: “I think that these conflicts will become tests of power by each side.”

If his warning has you on edge and wondering how to protect your wealth in turbulent times, it may be worth considering assets that can help weather a crisis.

Dalio’s go-to asset for ‘bad times’

Amid his dire forecasts, Dalio has repeatedly emphasized the importance of diversification — and singled out one time-tested asset as a cornerstone of a resilient portfolio: gold.

“People don't have, typically, an adequate amount of gold in their portfolio,” he told CNBC earlier this year. “When bad times come, gold is a very effective diversifier.”

He doubled down on that view more recently at the Greenwich Economic Forum, calling gold a “very excellent diversifier in the portfolio.”

“If you look at it just from a strategic asset allocation perspective, you would probably have something like 15% of your portfolio in gold … because it is the one asset that does very well when the typical parts of the portfolio go down,” Dalio explained.

Test your mettle with gold

Long viewed as the ultimate safe haven, gold isn’t tied to any single country, currency or economy. It can’t be printed out of thin air like fiat money, and in times of economic turmoil or geopolitical conflicts like war, investors tend to pile in — driving up its value.

Gold is also on a historic bull run, climbing over 90% year-over-year and blowing past analyst expectations to an all-time high of over $5,000 per ounce as of late January.

If you want to test your mettle with gold, one way to invest that can also provide significant tax advantages is to open a gold IRA with the help of Thor Metals.

Gold IRAs allow investors to hold physical gold or gold-related assets within a retirement account, which combines the tax advantages of an IRA with the protective benefits of investing in gold. As a result, this can make it an attractive option for those looking to potentially hedge their retirement funds against economic uncertainties.

Warren Buffett’s advice on what to own in a war

Investing legend Warren Buffett has also offered clear money advice for politically volatile times.

In 2014 — the last time Russia invaded Ukraine — Buffett told CNBC that “the last thing you'd want to do is hold money during a war,” because in “virtually” every conflict he’s aware of, the value of money would go down. This is partly due to the effect that war tends to have on inflation as resources are redirected to the military.

So what does he recommend owning when the world is on edge?

“You might want to own a farm, you might want to own an apartment house, you might want to own securities,” Buffett said.

Indeed, real assets like apartment buildings have the potential to create returns through thick and thin. In fact, Buffett has repeatedly pointed to real estate as a prime example of a productive, income-generating asset.

In 2022, Buffett stated that if you offered him “1% of all the apartment houses in the country” for $25 billion, he would “write you a check.”

Real estate also offers a natural hedge against inflation — a point that aligns with Buffett’s warning about the erosion of money’s value during wartime. When inflation rises, property values often increase as well, reflecting the higher costs of materials, labor and land. At the same time, rental income tends to go up, providing landlords with a revenue stream that adjusts with inflation.

Of course, you don’t need billions — or even to buy an entire property — to invest in real estate. Crowdfunding platforms like Arrived offer an easier way to get exposure to this income-generating asset class.

Backed by world-class investors like Jeff Bezos, Arrived allows you to invest in shares of rental homes with as little as $100, all without the hassle of mowing lawns, fixing leaky faucets or handling difficult tenants.

The process is simple: Browse a curated selection of properties pre-vetted for their potential for long-term appreciation in value and income-generating power. Once you find a property you like, it’s as simple as selecting the number of shares you’d like to purchase and then sit back as you start receiving any positive rental income distributions from your investment.

There are also ways to take advantage of real estate without locking yourself into a silo — whether industrial or vacation rental. And this accessibility doesn’t necessarily mean sacrificing scale or professional management.

Private real estate funds can give investors access to large, professionally managed property portfolios that would typically be difficult to acquire individually, while offering diversification across properties and regional markets.

For instance, the Fundrise Flagship Fund is a $1.2 billion private real estate fund that lets you invest in an expertly crafted strategy without needing hundreds of thousands of dollars. With 4,700+ single-family homes and 2,500+ residential units, you can get direct exposure to institutional-style scale and diversification.

Even better, you don’t need to be an accredited investor to get started. All it takes is a $10 initial investment to begin exploring real estate today.

After you place your first investment, the Fundrise Flagship Fund will work to find and add new assets to your portfolio over time and send you transparent updates along the way. That way, you can scale up as much, or as little, as you’re comfortable with.
A finer alternative

There is another asset class that’s coveted by billionaires like Ray Dalio, Mark Cuban and others for its appreciation potential, resale value and the fact that it isn’t correlated with returns on the stock exchange or tied to the U.S.’s economic output. It’s also a globally recognized asset and looks good hanging on the wall of a gallery.

The asset in question? Art.

In 2022 — shortly after U.S. inflation hit a 40-year high — a collection of art owned by the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen sold for $1.5 billion at Christie’s New York, making it the most valuable collection in auction history.

Investing in art was traditionally a privilege reserved for the ultra-wealthy, but now it’s available to all investors thanks to Masterworks — a platform for investing in shares of blue-chip artwork by renowned artists, including Pablo Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Banksy.

From their 23 exits so far, Masterworks investors have realized representative annualized net returns like +17.6%, +17.8% and +21.5% among assets held for longer than one year. Simply browse their portfolio of paintings and choose how many shares you’d like to buy. Masterworks will handle all the details, making high-end art investments both accessible and effortless.
