In case you were sensible and did not watch President Pinocchio's Lie-Fest last night, here is a Re-Cap. Hooray for ABC, NBC and CNN for NOT carrying tRump's disgraceful lies live!
No matter what LIES the Convicted Felon, Liar-in-Chief tells tonight....the truth remains He lost, BIDEN Won! Do Not Believe a Word tRump Says tonight!
That's Right, Beaver! And tonight the lying President of the United States is going on TV to tell a whole bunch of lies about the 2020 election...but we won't believe a word the First Felon says or any of his made up so called evidence!
Every crime family needs a mob lawyer. Meet Donald Trump's. Todd Blanche, tRump's personal attorney, unfit, unqualified, unsuitable to serve as Attorney General of the United States! {Credit: The Lincoln Project}
OMG, You Can't make this up! Secretary of DEFENSE, Pete "Low T, Small P" Hegseth, sobered up enough to announce the Department Of Defense will now pay for, wait for it...GENDER AFFIRMING CARE!!
The greatest threat to our democracy is us not believing in it. {Credit: The Lincoln Project}
The latest monument to Trumpian Stupidity, a 10 foot tall participation trophy has been placed on the National Mall in DC, in honor of Donald Trump's "enthusiastic involvement" in the Iran war. A group called Secret Handshake is taking credit.
Trump’s attorneys and DOJ leaders misused courts in case that spawned plan for $1.8B fund, judge says Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS, which resulted in the now-scuttled proposal for the payout fund, was filed for “improper purpose,” U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams said in a ruling Monday.
Hooray for the Presbyterians!! Where are the rest of the Christian Denominations on the issue of "Christian Nationalism?" Time to Speak Up and Speak Out!!
Like his Mentors, the evil Roy Cohen and Sen. Joseph R McCarthy, when all else fails, tRump falsely claims there is a Commie under every bed, while fleecing his followers!
A Blue Wave is building But...only if we ALL do our part, contribute what funds you can, work for candidates you believe in, get like minded folks registered and Vote...That is how we start to end the tRumpian Maga Nightmare!
The Patriots of Mount Rushmore have a singing message for All Americans (no room there for tRump!)... Credit to Michael_Kryton0609
Today's Headlines: "Trump says ceasefire ‘over’ after US and Iran trade strikes; said peace talks can continue but are a 'waste of time' as the flareup threatens to overshadow the NATO summit. Oil prices spike, stock markets slide after tRump says Iran ceasefire ‘over.'"
These things are true and this is still an Exceptional Country full of Exceptional Peoples doing Exceptional things everyday, despite our current political dysfunction.
The "Born in the USA" Collection from the talented artists at @vjaybombs documenting the miscreants, misdeeds and misrule of the maga-tRumpian era!
Nearly a million investors have lost $3.8 billion on Trump's memecoin through the end of June, the N.Y. Times reports. Trump walked away with a $636 million payout from the same crypto bet — part of a haul that last year brought him $2.2 billion from his businesses overall. KLEPTO!
A Magnificently Talented Musician playing for pure enjoyment last night in St. Louis. Bless this fellow and his music!
Now, a post Independence Day treat....Richard Nixon remains the first—and still the only—U.S. president to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
This is the perfect metaphor for the US' and Israel's War on Iran...or Russia's evil War on Ukraine...
We must never forget the sacrifices made by those 56 Patriots who affixed their names to our Declaration of Independence 250 Years Ago! Happy 250th Independence Day!
John Adams instructs us on how to celebrate our Independence. Mrs. Abigail Adams then offers her husband very important counsel. Happy Independence Day 250! (made with Venice AI)

"Sit Down John! It's Hot as Hell in Philadelphia! I Say Vote YES, Vote Yes, Vote for Independency!!" The Best Musical about our Founding, "1776" created by Sherman Edwards, who wanted to make a musical about the creation of the Declaration of Independence. Happy 250th America!! (Film owned by TCM)

The tRumpian July 4th 'Freedom 250' rehearsal stage falling apart today is the perfect metaphor for the tRump Maladministration! (Glad no one was hurt!)
First Felon tRump's financial disclosures revealed that he has made more than $2.2 billion in personal wealth since returning to the White House, driven by $1.4 billion from crypto ventures and huge Conflicts of Interest. tRump is the singularly most Corrupt president in our 250 year history!
