Democratic Socialist Candidates are killing it, like Dr. MI Abdul El-Sayed. Great Message!

 Democratic Socialism is what we're calling it now, but soon it will be the Democratic Party transformed.

Here's his appearance on MS Now's Morning Joe:  

Why stop now, here's our first officially declared Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani:

Documenting the U.S. Decline under Mad King Trump continued...

We were not surprised by the Obama gorilla video Trump posted recently, yet that came with no apologies. Underlying all of this is the more obvious sign that the entire administration is built on white nationalism. 

It's always been there but it's now more obvious. And anyone who doesn't wake up to all the red flags coming from this administration is an unmovable racist. Which brings me to this "red flag:"

Trump nominated a white nationalist to a top State Department job.

"Windmills," otherwise known as wind turbines in the 21st century, are now a threat to airlines? Madness says yes:

Need another red flag to prove there really is a problem with white nationalism? Does it have to be clearer?

When Sen. Rand Paul starts making sense, we're definitely in different times. His final question in this video is not so oddly frightening:   

Rand Paul: "I see not even a hint here of anything aggressive on [Pretti's] part. I don't think this should take months and months. There needs to be a conclusion ... the public needs to know, if I go to a protest and shout something at people, could I be killed?" pic.twitter.com/9zTCB9e3BY

The Tennessee Holler posted this, the obvious reason by MAGA is pushing abortion bans.

John & Gordy in the Afternoon is no more....

Bad news, we've been let go at Civic Media, and hope to continue J&G in a daily podcast. In the meantime, stay in contact with us at democurmudgeon.blogspot.com and at my Facebook page John Peterson. In the meantime, I will miss every one of you. And that goes for Gordy too. It was group therapy. You can email me here, or at Facebook.

Another Minneapolis Death, Alex Pretti, Vilified by Trump, Noem and Bovino.

 The shooting of Veteran ICU nurse Alex Pretti was captured by a witness just a few feet away. Since the video shows the shooting, it's not publishable, just a link to the video: 

Omg, this version shows it all. His back was to the agent who shot him. These MF's!https://t.co/2SLpwmZagG

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

And it wasn’t just any building.

It was Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where LASD actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screening.

Mad King Don's 2nd Term Storybook

 Welcome to another collection of memorable moments from Mad King Don's first year.

Here again is Phycologist Dr. John Gartner on Times Radio on Mad King Don's obvious problem with malignant narcissism:

WHERE'S SGT. FURY and his HOWLING COMMANDO'S when you need them? 

If you’re familiar with Marvel’s Sgt. Fury artist Jack Kirby, Bovino looks like just like someone he’d draw as a Nazi arch villain. At least that’s what the Twitter video looked like.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.

This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime pic.twitter.com/zxP10HVsll

This is a news broadcast dispels the idea they’re not intentionally sweeping up Americans. The inhumane treatment of every detainee is a national war crime;

This U.S citizen who was detained by ICE in Minnesota says that they took her to Whipple. She said they wouldn’t let her use the phone & then she was put in shackles & then in a U.S Citizen’s cell so they knew they would be detaining Americans! They had to beg for food & water! pic.twitter.com/7cOlwiPvum

Mad King Don is now accepting anyone's past trophies and accolades, WOW: 

The Trophies suddenly came pouring in...

Trump shifts ICE mission from immigrants to Americans using Good's killing...we're all on notice.

Here's Bucks head coach Doc Rivers on the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by ICE. 

This is a moving tribute to Renee Nicole Good by Youtuber Robert Arnold, that I will never forget....

In an attempt to ambush protesters, who Fox News thinks don't know why they're there, Hannity finds out the hard way they know more than him:

🔥 MUST-WATCH: “That’s not what it looked like to me at all. There just absolutely is no justification for this.”@seanhannity sends a reporter to try to embarrass a Minneapolis protestor… and he chooses the wrong dude — who instead cooks 🔥 live on Fox for 2 full minutes🦸🏻‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/uJ7DJJLmlh

By the way, we now know what the plan is, as one ICE agent admits:

An ICE agent in Minnesota to a woman recording him: “Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?”

He then knocked her phone out of her hand.

So this marks the beginning of ICE moving from Immigrants to Americans, using Good's death as inspiration.

Really Bad Orange Santa

 

Call him Mini-Trump Tiffany...

I haven't posted anything for a while, but I had to add to the history of Wisconsin's now infamous Rep. Tom Tiffany. He polluted WI water and air, doesn't read much based on his screwy declarations, and now he's running for Governor? Let's get to his current foul-up campaign mirroring Trump's own pointless agenda, thus, the nickname Mini-Trump Tiffany:

1.  Mini-Trump Tiffany falls for Moms for Liberty post Claiming a transgender individual used a girls locker room.

NO PROOF, Moms for Liberty are either taking the word of a whistleblower or just making it up. They offered screen shots of documents stating school policy in Racine, but no Whistleblower report or any reference to a written complaint.

Mini-Trump Tiffany reacted in anger, posting this on X: 

“When I’m governor, girls’ sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms will be protected for girls, and common sense will win. No more of this crap."

Mini-Trump Tiffany is on it. 

This is the original X post: BREAKING: A grown man in his 40’s is repeatedly walking into the women & girls’ locker room at the Racine Unified School District Aquatics Center — and staff say the school district policy stops them from stopping him.

2.  Mini-Trump Tiffany whines energy cost too much in WI…

…forgetting Republicans have only done one thing in the last 13 years regarding energy, delay wind and solar. But market forces aren’t waiting for MAGA politicians.

Here’s Mini-Trump Tiffany repeating Trump energy talking points: 

“My plan to lower costs is simple: -Stop closing power plants -Expand nuclear -Protect our farmland from unreliable solar/wind projects.

Tiffany hasn’t heard battery storage for solar is used now in off hours. Tiffany should talk; he destroyed beautiful farmland for industrial frac sand mining.

• Wisconsin's high energy prices are driven by increasing demand, the high cost of new generation projects like solar, wind, and natural gas, and upgrading aging infrastructure. Wisconsin still relies largely on fossil fuels which are more expensive now than green energy. 

NOTE: Experts do not project that utility companies will remove short-term customer rate increases after project completion to fund these projects.

3.    Tom Tiffany’s Mini-Trump like Campaign fail 

Libsof TikTok post: Quiz in “Introduction to Cultural Geography” at @uwoshkosh demonizes ICE and Trump’s immigration policies— suggests Trump is detaining American citizens. ICE agents are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults.”

Mini-Trump Tiffany: 

“We need to make the Universities of Wisconsin serve Wisconsinites again. Indoctrination doesn’t belong in our public universities, and it’s time we demand accountability for the taxpayer dollars funding them.”

Imagine what would happen to the UW System if Tom Tiffany were Gov.

The multiple-choice quiz doesn’t demonize ICE, all answers are true. If MAGAs see this as demonizing, maybe this should open their eyes? 

4.  Tiffany tries to be like Trump on Violent crime

THIS HAPPENED: An absolutely horrific situation last night, as an armed thug shot a young student in the ear on Langdon Street…

Rep.and now Gov Candidate Tom Tiffany channeled Trump promising the end of crime if Governor: 

“We must restore law and order in Wisconsin. Criminals belong behind bars, law enforcement deserves our support, and prosecutors must do their job and prosecute criminals. No excuses.”

Another response by Donavan Noggle: “Surprise, it's a cultural experience BLM. It's the mayor's DEI. Time to start thinking statewide curfew under 18 11:00 PM in your home. Hold parents responsible double the fines.”

TESLA CHAINSAW MASSACRE...ARE YOU NEXT?

 

Mad King Donald's Global Tariff Experiment Gone Wrong

Liberation Day continues to trash retirees' investment funds. and the U.S. economy isn't going where the golden king had promised.  Luckily, Truth Matters uncovered this bizarre moment in our nation's history that can inform future generations:

Scott Walker Grilled over Act 10 lie over saving taxpayer money...and more!

 I posted this many years back, but the topic keeps popping up in discussions across social media. I have a shorter version featuring questioning from Dennis Kucinich, but this clip features other politicians taking their deserved shots at Walker. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have...

Finally, the Truth!

 

Emperor has no clothes, plans...

 

Hard to believe huh...?

 

The Trump Olympics! People say they've never seen this much lying. It's true.

 

Biden can now do anything...maybe this?

 

JD's Orange American Elegy

 

Projection? Who's got the Crime Family?

Republicans signed on to what is essentially a strike, to do nothing until the election in November, including our own Ron Johnson.

If Trump's 34 felony convictions aren't embarrassing enough to support without question, maybe they should remember all those who also fell on their swords for Trump. Not a good look...
