Trump fired Bondi because he wants a more unjust Justice Department

April 7, 2026

President Trump, who treats the Justice Department as if it were his personal law firm, fired Attorney General Pam Bondi because she failed to weaponize the department sufficiently. He wanted her to vindictively prosecute his enemies as effectively as he demanded, and she failed. She also failed to make the Jeffrey Epstein scandal go away.

President Trump is a con man who governs incompetently based on emotion, prejudice, self-interest, impulse, ignorance and lies. He has intentionally broken many of his campaign promises and gravely damaged America’s economic and national security.

Trump’s energy policy benefits Iran and Russia, not America

March 22, 2026

President Trump’s irrational love affair with fossil fuels is doing more than polluting our environment and accelerating climate change. It is benefiting Iran and Russia, harming global security, and raising energy prices as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran rages.

Can Markwayne Mullin succeed as Homeland Security secretary?

March 13, 2026

President Trump’s firing of incompetent Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is welcome news. But unless he changes his harmful polices on immigration and other areas the Department of Homeland Security oversees, the department will continue to be plagued by problems and Americans will suffer.

Trump projects his failings onto others in his State of the Union address

February 26, 2026

President Trump’s State of the Union address was a long temper tantrum filled with lies, insults and projection, attributing his own failings to others.

Trump falsely accused those he considers his enemies of mistakes, misconduct and malignant behavior. He complained incessantly about former President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats, unauthorized immigrants, the media and others, in the longest State of the Union on record, at one hour and 47 minutes. He showed once again that he is in love with the sound of his own voice and would rather attack Democrats than work with them to benefit the American people.

For Black History Month, Trump’s racism again revealed

February 17, 2026

As America marks Black History Month, President Trump has again revealed himself to be a racist unfit to lead our multiracial nation. Trump’s recent social media post of an AI-generated video portraying former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes is something we might expect from a leader of the Ku Klux Klan or a Nazi group.
