01.16.25-True Words-Trump Administration: Classic case of the inmates running the asylum!
01.16.25-MORE TRUE WORDS---To Get truer with time
Biden warned of “the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex” and of “a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-wealthy people.” He said, “Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.”

On June 14, 1946, just a little over a year after Hitler died, a new dark force came about. It would go on to poison minds, spread lies and cast a cloud of evil over America and the world.
That date is when Trump was born.

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. Update-11.23.23-1000 children are still separated from their families. A task force also found that 290 of the children removed from their parents were U.S. citizens.

01.14.25-'How Dumb Can You Be?'
Lara Trump reacted to the devastating L.A. wildfires. on Fox News Monday with climate denialism. “I would really love for someone out there to explain to me how climate change is the reason that the reservoirs were dry, that there was no water in the fire hydrants,” she added. California’s reservoirs were not dry, though firefighters did encounter issues with water supply to hydrants due to high demand. The catastrophic wildfires, driven by intense winds and tinder-dry conditions, erupted after a critically dry period — LA recorded just 0.8 mm of rain from July 1 to January. As California suffered through one of its hottest summers on record, vegetation that had proliferated during an intensely wet spell dried out to create an abundance of kindling. |
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.

You will then see the similarities between then and now. Click here for a reference to Trump's 'Day One' dictatorship. Don’t scoff at the Hitler comparisons. Trump’s rhetoric is that bad. Click

Why Did Trump Win?
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. |

Today's NewsClick for past MAGA MAYHEM
01.18.25-HOW LONG BEFORE SHE IS FIRED?-Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov recently took on network host Sean Hannity after he pressed her to weigh in on Biden’s term. Tarlov pointed to gas prices dropping, the nation’s 4.1% unemployment rate, growth in gross domestic product and a decrease in crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border, before calling on Hannity not to “deny the reality” of outcomes that the Biden White House “oversaw in the end.” “There’s a reason that Trump wants to try to take credit for these things,” she said. “And there’s also a reason that now, Trum admitted, oh, well, prices are really hard to get down.” She then pointed to JD Vance’s recent call to “stabilize” prices and Tom Homan, Trump’s pick to be border czar in his new administration, reportedly telling Republicans to adjust their expectations around upcoming deportation efforts. “They’re backing off of the promises that they made to the American people because they know they’re not going to be able to achieve them,” she said. (excerpts from Huffington Post) 01,17.25-THESE PEOPLE WANT TO FORCE THERE THEOLOGY ON YOU-The Christian Right's central belief about worldly ideas is that they are akin to demonic possession, much like the New Testament accounts we heard in Sunday school. This belief—that ideas themselves have a unique, uncontested power to infiltrate and corrupt our minds and souls—reflects the fundamentalist evangelical worldview, one deeply skeptical of intellectual engagement and critical thinking. Rather than the notion that ideas can be critically analyzed and either accepted or rejected, it held that dangerous ideas can indoctrinate and possess you if you are merely exposed to them. To read a book or discuss a theory, in this worldview, is not to exercise one’s intellectual faculties but to risk being overtaken by a seductive, malevolent force with no hope of resistance. (excerpt from The New Republic) 01.16.25-LIAR'S SCORECARD
01.15.24-DEMEANING DRACONIAN DEBACLE-Just last week, the House passed the first immigration bill of the new Congress, the Laken Riley Act – an extreme bill that requires the detention of longtime residents, even children, without due process. If passed, this bill – which exploits the tragic death of Laken Riley to advance a false narrative around immigrants – will advance Trump's cruel anti-immigrant agenda. We can't let xenophobia and racism determine our country's policies. This bill would require the detention of any immigrant accused of a nonviolent offense, such as shoplifting diapers – even if the alleged offense was decades ago, the individual was never charged for the offense or was acquitted, and even if immigration authorities think the person poses no danger to the community. This bill would feed mass incarceration, enrich the private prison industry, and deprive immigrants of the basic constitutional right to due process. (ACLU) 01.14.25-CONTEMPTUOUS CRIMINAL CONDUCT-Special counsel Jack Smith did not hold back in his final report on the investigation into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. While much of it contains information already made public, such as the fake electors schemes from Trump’s cronies and the pressure placed on then–Vice President Mike Pence, Smith made some powerful statements regarding the criminal charges against the president-elect. For example, Smith flat-out said the evidence would have been enough to convict Trump, had he not been reelected. Smith spelled out Trump’s culpability, calling out his efforts to subvert the election, nullify the result for Joe Biden, and put himself back in the White House. “As alleged in the original and superseding indictments, substantial evidence demonstrates that Mr. Trump then engaged in an unprecedented criminal effort to overturn the legitimate results of the election in order to retain power,” the report states. (excerpt from The New Republic) 01.13.25-STREAM OF LUNACY-Trump has spent the last few days posting maps of Greenland, picking fights with California’s governor, whining about his legal cases and sharing letters from has-been celebrities. In opening his press conference Tuesday he briefly (and falsely) claimed that “inflation is continuing to rage” before devoting his time to griping about the Green New Deal, Democrats “playing with the courts,” showerheads and windmills “driving the whales crazy,” among other subjects. Suddenly, it seems Trump doesn’t want to talk so much about the economy anymore. The good news only makes it harder for Trump to untangle himself from his campaign promise. Joe Biden isn’t giving him much bad economic news to talk about. Last week, officials reported that the U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December as the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1% and wages grew 3.9% for the year. Inflation has been under 3% since the summer and economic growth is still strong. The good news only makes it harder for Trump to untangle himself from his campaign promise that prices will “come down fast” once he is in office. (excerpt from MSNBC) 01.12.25-PARENTS-DON'T LET YOUR KIDS BE INDOCRINATED- RELIGION DOES NOT BELONG IN RELIGIOUSLY DIVERSE CLASSROOMS-Conservative lawmakers across the U.S. are pushing to introduce more Christianity to public school classrooms, testing the separation of church and state by inserting Bible references into reading lessons and requiring teachers to post the Ten Commandments. The efforts come as Trump prepares to take office pledging to champion the First Amendment right to pray and read the Bible in school, practices that are already allowed as long as they are not government-sponsored.
