Stephen Miller Is The New Republic’s 2025 Scoundrel of the Year. He was counting on a nation of haters. He was wrong. Since Trump can't think for himself, he has allowed this weasel to set policy for the horrible mistreatment of migrants. In my opinion, he is the shadow president, with the goal of creating a MAGA terror state. Update-Trump Advisers Quietly Turn on Stephen Miller as Brutal ICE Poll Hits |
Anne Frank Diary Quote-January 13, 1943-"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.........Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."
02.04.26-MTG Finally says something sane: “People watching Fox News, every day, 24/7 with their volume turned all the way up in their living room and it’s so loud that you can’t hear anything else? Those are the baby boomers and God bless them, those are my parents’ generation. I love so many of the baby boomers, but they are the most brainwashed generation because they eat that crap, like, they just eat it up all day long. They’re spoon-fed the propaganda on TV.”

01.18.26-“How is it that half of America looks at Trump and doesn’t find him morally repellent?” David Brooks asks. “He lies, cheats, steals, betrays, and behaves cruelly and corruptly, and more than 70 million Americans find him, at the very least, morally acceptable. Some even see him as heroic, admirable, and wonderful.” Many are lazy, naive, low information, apathetic voters who have no clue.

07.25-How did we get to this point?
Back in March, MSNBC brought you the crazy story of Sarah Inama, a history teacher in Idaho who decorated her sixth-grade classroom with inspirational posters. Inama displayed signs with messages such as “In This Room, Everyone Is Welcome, Important, Accepted, Respected, Encouraged, Valued, Equal.” The posters showcased motivational messages simply meant to tell students: Whoever you are, you belong here. It is the type of poster that a lot of us probably saw growing up in classrooms. And it really shouldn’t be controversial, but it was. Earlier this year, Inama shared that her school’s administration ordered her to take down the posters. She said officials told her the signs were in violation of district policy and that, in “today’s political environment, they’re considered a personal opinion.” (edited excerpt from MSNBC) Below is why Lady Liberty is weeping. These words now ring hollow! “G̶i̶v̶e̶ m̶e̶ y̶o̶u̶r̶ t̶i̶r̶e̶d̶, y̶o̶u̶r̶ p̶o̶o̶r̶, y̶o̶u̶r̶ h̶u̶d̶d̶l̶e̶d̶ m̶a̶s̶s̶e̶s̶ y̶e̶a̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ t̶o̶ b̶r̶e̶a̶t̶h̶e̶ f̶r̶e̶e̶.

Trump will forever be tied to the heartless and brutal separation of 5500 immigrant children from their parents, sent to who-knows-where. Some will never see their families again. The Trump administration did not keep records of the family members.
He has violated all The Seven Deadly Sins: (1) vainglory, or pride, (2) greed, or covetousness, (3) lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire, (4) envy, (5) gluttony, (6) wrath, or anger, and (7) sloth. and, laughs at the Golden Rule!

MAGA Believers: Does this sound familiar?
Adolf Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf, coined the term “big lie”. He asserted that “the great masses of the people… will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one.” This concept refers to a propaganda technique where a known falsehood is stated and repeated as if it were self-evidently true. The goal is to sway public opinion by treating the lie as unquestionable, rather than critically examining it.
Here are the key points about the big lie:
Here are the key points about the big lie:
- Definition: A big lie involves spreading a falsehood so audacious that it seems unbelievable yet appeals to people’s prejudices. Hitler believed that people would accept such a lie if it aligned with their existing biases.
- Examples: Hitler’s use of antisemitism in Nazi propaganda blamed Jews (Now Immigrants?) for Germany’s problems. Other instances include blaming the ‘bourgeoisie’ for workers’ issues or demonizing political opponents.
- Technique: Repeat the lie consistently until it becomes accepted as truth. Present it in bland, matter-of-fact terms to make it more convincing. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, echoed this idea: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” He emphasized that the state must suppress dissent to maintain the lie’s influence1.
To understand how the seeds for the Nazi movement were planted In the United States prior to WWII, read this book, a #1 NYT best seller: Prequel. You will then see the similarities between then and now.

The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country. And they fed their audiences a diet of slanted and distorted information that made it possible for Trump to win.

For Christians: Revelation 13:3 states that one of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded, but the mortal wound was healed, leading the whole world to marvel and follow the beast. This verse is often interpreted symbolically, suggesting that the healing of the beast's wound signifies a powerful figure, possibly the Antichrist, who gains admiration and influence over the people. The imagery reflects themes of deception and the allure of evil, as the world unites in following the beast due to this miraculous healing.

Click for my stance on guns The U.K. essentially banned guns. Result: In 2019 Gun deaths 0.04 per 1000---U.S. 3.96 per 1000 The United States has one of the highest rates of gun deaths among developed countries. With more civilian-owned guns than people, the U.S. sees a significantly higher number of gun-related homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings annually. For example, in 2023, nearly 19,000 people died from firearm-related homicides, a statistic that starkly contrasts with much lower numbers in other high-income nations. |
STOP ANIMAL ABUSE
Every day in countries around the world, animals are fighting for their lives. They are enslaved, beaten, and kept in chains to make them perform for humans’ “entertainment”; they are mutilated and confined to tiny cages so that we can kill them and eat them; they are burned, blinded, poisoned, and cut up alive in the name of “science”; they are electrocuted, strangled, and skinned alive so that people can parade around in their coats; and worse. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartb reaking, sickening, and infuriating. It’s even more so when we realize that the everyday choices we make—such as what we eat for lunch and the kind of shampoo we buy—may be directly supporting some of this abuse. But as hard as it is to think about, we can’t stop animals’ suffering if we simply look the other way and pretend it isn’t happening. peta.org |

02.12.26-BITCHY BONDI-Attorney General Pam Bondi lashed out at Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) after he accused her of lying under oath about evidence against Trump in Epstein's case files. During a Wednesday hearing, Lieu told Bondi that Trump's name was "all over the Epstein files." "I want to know whether any underage girls at that party or at any party that Trump attended with Epstein," Lieu asked the attorney general. "This is so ridiculous, and they are trying to deflect from all the great things Trump has done!" Bondi exclaimed. "There is no evidence that Trump has committed a crime. Everyone knows that." "You said there's no evidence," Lieu observed before displaying an FBI report accusing Trump of rape. "I believe you just lied under oath," the lawmaker said. "Don't you ever accuse me of a crime!" Bondi yelled. "You said there's no evidence or crime," Lieu pointed out. "I'm showing you here is a witness statement who called into the FBI's threat operation center. He drove Trump around in a limo. He overheard what Trump said to Epstein on his cell phone... And he met a girl who said she was raped by Trump and Epstein." "You need to interview this witness immediately," he added. "Epstein should rot in hell. So should the men who patronize [his] operations. And as we say here today, there are over 1,000 sex trafficking victims, and you have not held a single man accountable. Shame on you. If you had any decency, you would resign right after this hearing concludes." (excerpt from MSN.COM)
02.11.26-BULL IN THE CHINA SHOP-America Won’t Be Easily Forgiven—Even After Trump Is Gone. His belligerence against Greenland and Canada was no joke to Europeans and Canadians, some of whom say they’ll never trust or visit the U.S. again. Opinion polls reveal the shocking extent of the damage. In September, as Trump openly mused about making Canada the fifty-first state, an Ipsos poll found 60 percent of Canadians said they “could never trust the Americans the same way again,” while Canadian trips south of the border have cratered. European attitudes toward the United States have seen a similarly precipitous fall. A new poll by YouGov found that Western Europeans’ perceptions of the U.S. have turned sharply negative, particularly—and not surprisingly—in Denmark. On the economic front, loss of investor confidence has sunk the dollar, while Canada and the EU are forging trade deals with China, India, and the South American trade bloc Mercosur that leave the U.S. excluded. Even Queen doesn’t want to tour here. But polling data, currency exchange rates, trade deals, and rock band touring schedules don’t quite capture the deep well of anger and the sense of betrayal that many people, especially Canadians and Europeans, feel toward the U.S. now. (excerpt from The New Republic) 02.10.26-THE TRUTH MEANS NOTHING TO TRUMP-Trump’s Department of Justice blocked prosecutors in Minnesota from investigating Renee Good’s killing, several people told The New York Times. Before he resigned from his role last month, former acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson emailed colleagues at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which reviews police shootings, indicating they would team up with the FBI to launch a civil rights investigation into Good’s death. But as soon as FBI agents received a signed search warrant to examine the blood splatter and bullet holes in Good’s vehicle, they received orders to stop their investigation, according to several who spoke anonymously with the Times. The orders came from senior DOJ officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, who were apparently concerned the investigation could undermine the administration’s claims that Good was a violent insurrectionist who had attempted to mow down a federal agent, according to the Times. The BAC previously claimed that the FBI had outright refused to cooperate with its investigation into Good’s killing, forcing it to withdraw its efforts entirely. In late January, Department of Homeland Security officers also blocked BCA access to the scene of Alex Pretti’s brutal killing. In the days following Good’s death, DOJ officials suggested that prosecutors launch a criminal investigation into whether Good had assaulted Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed her. DOJ officials also suggested that prosecutors investigate Good’s widow, Becca, who had been present at the incident and whom Trump smeared as a “professional agitator.” Rather than engage in their frivolous investigations, Thompson and three other senior prosecutors resigned. (excerpt from The New Republic) 02.09.26-MORE STUPIDITY-When NBC News’ Tom Llamas asked Trump about the struggling economy this week, the president seemed eager to respond with a familiar claim. “OK, you ready?” he asked the anchor. “So we have, it was just announced, more jobs right now occupied in the United States of America that at any time during its existence, 250 years.” The president called this a “pretty good stat.” As is too often the case, Trump, who’s long struggled to understand economic data at even the most basic level, didn’t know what he was talking about. Putting aside the fact that this statistic was not “just announced” — the president started pushing this same line during his first term — the fact that more Americans are in the workforce is far less amazing than he realizes: As the nation’s population grows, the size of the workforce grows with it. Far more important is whether the U.S. economy is actually generating more jobs, and on that front, Trump is failing spectacularly: If we exclude recession years, the first year of his second term was the worst for the U.S. job market in more than two decades. Indeed, on the heels of the president’s misplaced comment to Llamas, the public got new data on the job market — all of it discouraging. (excerpt from MS NOW) 02.08.26-RAMPANT RACISM-Depicting Black people as apes is one of the oldest and most dehumanizing racist tropes there is. There is no way that Trump and the White House did not know this when Trump reposted a video depicting former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as primates on his social media platform Thursday night. The president’s post is more of the same vile racism we have come to expect from Trump and the far right. But when Trump was called out on it Friday morning, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s immediate response was to argue that it wasn’t a big deal and claim, outrageously, that Trump was making a reference to “The Lion King.” But Sen. Tim Scott, R-South Carolina, a Black man who has campaigned for and defended Trump from attacks, posted Friday on X that it was “the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.” The “most racist thing” seems to be Scott’s admission of the obvious: that there have been other racist things to come out of this White House, too. Around noon Friday, after it had been up for about 12 hours and after Leavitt had dismissed what she called “fake outrage,” the administration took the post down and insulted our intelligence with its statement to MS NOW: “A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.” To be clear, it matters very little that the White House decided to delete the post from the president’s social feed. Because it should have never been posted. Deleting the post was far more about the condemnations that were pouring in from members of both political parties than any sense of remorse from the president. At no point during her attempts to spin, to dismiss and offer half-baked explanation did Leavitt acknowledge the offensiveness of the post or apologize. (excerpts from MS NOW) 02.07.26-BLATANT NARCISSISTIC BRIBERY-Trump reportedly wants his name on New York’s Penn Station and Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. He told Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that he would be willing to release federal funding for the Gateway tunnel project ― which the president froze last year ― in return for renaming the two transit hubs after him, according to a story first reported by Punchbowl News and later confirmed by CNN and NBC, among others. Trump has used his name as a brand for decades, especially on his real estate projects and golf clubs. But since returning to the White House, he’s been trying to force his name onto a much broader range of interests. He’s announced a new “Trump class” of U.S. battleships, a TrumpRx prescription drug portal, and even investment accounts for children called Trump Accounts. Trump even added his name to the U.S. Institute of Peace building and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. After artists objected to the latter and canceled their performances at the venue, the president announced a two-year shutdown for renovations. Now, Trump is reportedly trying to make previously approved funds for the Gateway project contingent on adding his name to more places. (excerpt from HuffPost) 02.06.26-THAT THIS ARGUMENT IS BEING ADVANCED AT ALL IS CHILLING-A case now before the Supreme Court of Texas may become the first real test of the state’s newly minted “parental rights amendment,” and the stakes could not be higher. The state constitutional amendment, approved by Texas voters in November 2025, declares that parents have the “inherent right to exercise care, custody, and control” over their children and to make decisions about their upbringing. Any state action that “interferes” with those rights is subject to the equivalent of strict scrutiny—the highest level of constitutional protection. The dispute before the court arises from allegations that are not remotely ambiguous or cultural in nature. According to the record, the conduct at issue includes food deprivation, beatings with a belt, forced wall sits that lasted hours, and prolonged kneeling on grains of rice—forms of punishment that most people would recognize as physical and emotional abuse. The question now being seriously entertained is whether the Texas Constitution requires courts to presume such treatment is protected parental decision-making unless the state can meet the nearly insurmountable burden of strict scrutiny. (excerpts from The New Republic) 02.05.26-HUMANITARIAN DISASTER-When Stephen Miller offered his first big rollout of Trump’s immigration agenda during the 2024 campaign, he demonstrated great enthusiasm for the idea of giant migrant camps. He gushed about creating “vast holding facilities” built on “open land,” which would enable Trump to escalate the volume and speed of deportations to unprecedented heights. Trembling with excitement, Miller vowed: “President Trump will do whatever it takes.” But a funny thing has happened with Miller’s authoritarian fever dreams. As plans for these new detention facilities have become public, they’re encountering opposition in some very unlikely places. Notably, that includes regions that backed Trump in 2024. Which in turn captures something essential about this moment: The public backlash unleashed by Trump’s immigration agenda runs far deeper than revulsion at imagery of ICE violence. It’s now seemingly coalescing against the goal of mass removals as a broader ideological project. We’re now learning that this year, ICE plans to retrofit around two dozen vast new facilities. In keeping with Trump-Miller’s visions, ICE vows to detain an additional 80,000 people in them. Some will reportedly hold up to 10,000 detainees apiece. In other words, the Trump-Miller threat to create a system of new detention camps is just getting underway in earnest. To put a ghoulish twist on the oft-discussed ideal of bureaucratic “capacity,” this will allow Trump and Miller to imprison and then deport vastly more people a whole lot faster. Right now, more than 70,000 migrants are languishing in detention—a record—but the administration is running out of space. Add another 80,000 beds, and it would supercharge expulsion capacity. (edited excerpt from The New Republic) 02.04.26-IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A CHILD IN CUSTODY DIES-The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. The Marshall Project analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump. During the last 16 months of the Biden administration, ICE held around 25 children a day. More than 6x rise in ICE detention of children under Trump. More than 400 children in ICE detention today. The Marshall Project’s analysis found that on some days, ICE held 400 children or more. The data covers September 2023 to mid-October 2025, meaning it does not include the surge of arrests from recent immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota. Nor does the data include children in the custody of the Border Patrol or the Office of Refugee Resettlement, where children are held without a guardian. (excerpt from the Marshall Project) 02.03.26-THE WORM TURNS-MAGA ‘Was All A Lie’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Trump In Scathing New Interview. The former Trump insider tore into the president for selling out his MAGA supporters. She called out one-time ally Trump for abandoning the core promises behind his “Make America Great Again” movement. “MAGA is, I think, people are realizing, it was all a lie. “It was a big lie for the people.” The Trump administration, she said, is all about serving “big, big donors,” including foreign countries and large corporations, with many funneling cash to Trump’s PACs and pet projects such as his White House ballroom to win favor. “And if they’re donating to all these things, those are the people that get the special favors, they get the government contracts, they get the pardons or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon,” she said. Greene wasn’t willing to give Trump a pass by blaming advisors or others in his inner circle. “People always think, ‘Oh, it’s his staff.’ They want to blame everyone around him,” she said. “There may be a point where people have to come to grips with this is Trump.” Greene also had some harsh words for Fox News, the right-wing cable network where she was once a regular guest, as well as its viewers: “People watching Fox News, every day, 24/7 with their volume turned all the way up in their living room and it’s so loud that you can’t hear anything else? Those are the baby boomers and God bless them, those are my parents’ generation. I love so many of the baby boomers, but they are the most brainwashed generation because they eat that crap, like, they just eat it up all day long. They’re spoon-fed the propaganda on TV.” (edited excerpt from HuffPost-see full article) See video here 02.02.26-HATE FOR WHAT HE IS DOING IS NOT A STRONG ENOUGH WORD-HOW ABOUT CRUEL?, HOW ABOUT ILLEGAL?, HOW ABOUT SICK? HOW ABOUT FACIST? Trump Tirade Over Protests Goes Off Rails as Crushing Fox Poll Hits. As he grows more delusional about how hated his ICE raids have become, Lia Parada, a longtime pro-immigrant organizer, says this may be a watershed moment in terms of public opinion on the issue. Trump appears in deep denial about how widely hated his ICE raids have become. He let out a strange, rambling tirade to reporters about how the “silent majority” is still behind what ICE is doing, bizarrely citing approval of the raids among his own White House employees to make the case. In another rant, he lied uncontrollably about the protesters, about crime in Minneapolis, and more. Interestingly, this comes as a poll from none other than Fox News finds Trump deeply underwater on immigration. It also finds that very large majorities of independents think ICE is being too aggressive. Incredibly, even majorities of rural whites and non-college whites—loyal base voter groups—think the same. (lightly edited excerpts from The New Republic) 02.01.26-FORGET FREEDOM OF THE PRESS-As the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker notes, “Protests have long been where the fault lines of press freedom are most visible, and 2025 was no different.” The journalists who “were pulled from news scenes, placed in cuffs and held in custody from minutes to days — long enough for deadlines to pass and breaking news to go cold…” The Trump administration is weaponizing its commitment to protecting religious liberty to go after Lemon and the others. In Lemon’s case, a federal magistrate judge, Douglas Micko, on Jan. 22 refused to issue arrest warrants that the government sought. Trump’s Department of Justice had tried to convince him that the warrants were necessary to allow it to respond to a “national security emergency.” As the district court’s chief judge, Patrick Schiltz, explained in a letter to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, there was “no evidence” that Lemon or his producer had engaged “in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.” The Eighth Circuit was persuaded and declined to overrule Micko’s decision. But note, these judicial decisions did not prevent the Trump administration from arresting Lemon. Moreover, they focused more on the deficiencies in the government’s case than on providing a ringing endorsement of press freedom. (excerpt from MS NOW) 01.31.26-ROAD TO RUIN -Trump, following his return to office, has totally blown up the international trade framework and that can only mean bad news for Americans, renowned economist Paul Krugman argued in his email newsletter. “The world trading system as we knew it lasted for three generations after World War II,” explained Krugman, the winner of the 2008 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. “It was a rules-based system, in which everyone considered the U.S. a reliable, trustworthy partner,” he noted. “But now US economic relations with other nations have turned abusive, and the world is moving toward divorce.” The outcome? It “will make Americans measurably poorer,” predicted the economist, who has been a fierce and vocal critic of Trump’s tariff policy. Krugman’s analysis followed the striking of a free trade agreement between India and the European Union. It demonstrated, the economist said, how “countries are moving, step by step, toward an economic divorce from America.” It also came, in a further sign of nations distancing themselves from America under Trump, with China and Britain agreeing to increase cooperation.
