The seriously demented felon Trump needs to resign. Just take your money, your crypto, and go to Dubai or Qatar. Trump learns a US sailor is seriously ill. He learns that the Danes, of all people, medi-evacted him, to a hospital in Greenland, of all places. He won't stand for that. So, he orders SecWar Hegseth, move our two laid-up in dry dock hospital ships to Greenland so he doesn't need those stinkin' Danes to help our sailors ever again. This is just nuts. Biden had one bad debate night back in June 2024 and that was disqualifying by so many in the mainstream media. Yet this guy makes these stupid statements over and over again and if it weren't for Meidas and others, we'd never know.

Corporate Media has been and continues to sane-wash trump. The only way you can see and hear exactly what he is really saying is through independent media like MTN which is why the people who are watching Corporate Media(ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,and even Fox-not-the-news)will never see the truth. I DNU why Dem politicians go on any of these channels knowing they will be treated badly as the so called TV journalists talk down to them while pushing them to comment on what other Democrats in Congress said about something Softball questions to republicans and hardball questions to Democrats. They made headlines out of everything Biden said or did, then when trump says something really crazy they totally ignore it. Trump is insane he has Fronto Temporal Dementia and they hide it from us

Kid Rock speaks Duckspeak. Trump speaks Doublethink, and we are all need to know what this is to understand what is going on. It is how fascists and their cronies talk.

This is why we need to not trust hospital ship either. War is Peace so if this ship is supposed to come in peace, perhaps it is a war ship. We know the 2 hospital ships are out of commission and being repaired. Trump has all of the countries in his board of war to back him up now whereever he decides to make war, now that he has turned off his NATO allies from supporting whatever he does. He speaks Doublethink. Learn how to interpret it. It is important.

MDL's avatar

Sorry, doublespeak is a combo of duckspeak and doublethink. My error.

MDL's avatar

Doublethink is when you hold two conflicting ideas in your thoughts as both being true. When you give voice to them. that's doublespeak.

What losers are paying that much to be assaulted by kid rocks’ “music”???

The same people who think Kid Rock is a musician.

I call him Kid Pebble.

Did you see the video of him with Kennedy doing a workout video that Jeff Tiedrich posted? He and Kennedy are absolutely unbelievable.

They speak Duckspeak. See my piece on The Language of the Fascist regime above if you do not know what Duckspeak is.

We are set to spend $10 trillion on the military over the next decade. The Trump plan would make it $15 trillion - a $5 trillion increase. Expanding Medicare to cover dental/vision/hearing care was estimated to cost $400 billion over a decade.”

Fuck these Nazi assholes with a fence post wrapped in barb wire! That's our fucking money and we want it spent on us!

Nicole Jackson's avatar

More evidence that it's not about "waste, fraud, and abuse." It's about their priorities to rob the poor to pay the rich, influential, and amoral. Not to mention how greedy, performative, cruel, vacuous, navel-gazing, contemptuous, pernicious, deceitful...

I'll stop there so I can sleep tonight.

Who wants the baton next?

Trump telephoned his congrats at once when the gold medal was won by the U.S. men’s hockey team. When the U.S. women’s hockey team won its gold-medal match, Trump used Truth Social.

Ann Marie's avatar

Trump is a misogynistic prick and so is LA Senator John Kennedy with his disparaging remark about AOC and Harris. Decorum is a thing of the past. Civility is too.

LHS's avatar

AOC's reponse to Foghorn Leghorn was perfect.

CanadaIsNotForSale's avatar

LOL, Foghorn Leghorn. Oh how I missed those Saturday morning cartoons. Enjoyed the noon time Flintstones. Speaking of which there is a real life 'Dum Dum' in the White House.

Linda Weide's avatar

Yes. She is so sharp. See AOC speaking in Berlin last Sunday in my piece I have a link to her talk.

https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/aoc-had-a-berlin-audience-eating?r=f0qfn

Linda Weide's avatar

Exactly Ann Marie. AOC is brilliant and had a great rejoinder. She spoke a week ago in Berlin to an audience of over 1000 students at the Technical University of Berlin. Here is a piece I wrote on it, with a link to the livestream.

I wonder if Trump realized the game winning goal was scored by a strong supporter of LGBTQ rights. I'd love to see Trump shake his hand without flinching.

Anne J.'s avatar

They also partied with Kash Patel so let’s not get too giddy about what great guys they are.

Bert Dandy's avatar

I didn't express any opinion about the player, only how it my fluster Donny.

Kathleen Bergeron's avatar

$Kash$ Patel was probably buying.

ramonaj's avatar

The story I saw him in was embarrassing. Kash was partying like a college kid. Who is catching murderers and working at the FBI. SCARY.

Candace Crocker's avatar

It made me happy to read that information on J.H.

Bert Dandy's avatar

I doubt Donny will be as thrilled.

Mike Oszko's avatar

Wait and see… He’ll invite all of the gold medalists to the WH and, while they’re there, steal their medals. I’m not joking.

LHS's avatar

More like he would demand someone give him their gold medal because he "deserves" it.

Mike Oszko's avatar

Yes, because it would be so “unfair” if he didn’t have one too.

ramonaj's avatar

He would want one for walking in a straight line for more than three feet. While drinking a glass of water with one hand.

Regina Focht's avatar

They probably didn’t have a choice, Patel likely inserted himself

Anne J.'s avatar

Well they could have just thanked him for any congratulations offered. They didn’t have to embrace him like he was the greatest guy in the world. You always have a choice.

Candace Crocker's avatar

That is what I’m hoping because who would want that person around them.

ramonaj's avatar

I believe women are coming home with more metals than the men. Proud of them all, but just sayin.

Truth social is doublethink for Antisocial lies platform. If you don't know what that means. See my piece on The Language of Fascist Regimes.

https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/the-language-of-the-fascist-regime?r=f0qfn

Then go see the movie "Orwell 2+2=5" by Filmmaker Raoul Peck.

Truth Social is just pennies away from breaking the $10 barrier, and nit in a good way. Closed at $10.11 and dropping.

Linda Silfven's avatar

So many things happening, all of them bad. Steve Witcoff is a real piece of work; does he even know who invaded who? He is working for America’s enemy; he is a traitor.

This very bizarre hospital ship story: what the hell is going on in the White House? Sounds like Trump needs a keeper, a guardian.

Ann Marie's avatar

Agree 100%. Why does a fool like Witkoff have such a prominent role in “diplomacy” and negotiations. What is his preparation and experience on the world stage? The other “expert” is Jared. They are both pretty far up

Netanyahu and Putin’s anus.

Jerri Peake's avatar

He needs a straight jacket and a gag. And Witcoff is an idiot.

Kayo's avatar

He has keepers and guardians, but they don't actually do anything to rein in his demented ranting. They have their own agendas.

He is a useful idiot for those advancing a white Christian nationalist oligarchy.

ramonaj's avatar

Trumpy is making it up as he goes! It's the Apprentice , Dementia Edition.

He is gonzo. It's beyond abnormal and he is getting worse by the day.

Kelli Goodsir's avatar

This fascist regime has got to be stopped before this country is destroyed beyond recognition!!!

Randall Livingston's avatar

Trump** says he can destroy the country if he wants to. Congrats to those who gave him this chance.

Nancy Endersby's avatar

In my opinion I think he is out to cause chaos and destroy Democracy throughout all of North America, not just the States!

Joan MacLeod's avatar

Thanks for the update Ron. As a Canadian I feel for all the sane Americans having to live through this insane Administration.

Janet Wilson's avatar

And as a Canadian, I feel for the economic pain this "administration" is deliberately causing other countries, and the outright suffering it is causing by failing to stop the war in Ukraine, supporting Israeli brutality in Gaza, withdrawing financial support for international health programs and research, and incarcerating and murdering innocents.

Oaktown's avatar

And as an American, I agree with you completely.

LHS's avatar

Someone please tell me: Why aren't at least 300 million Americans opening up their windows and screaming STFU Trump? So utterly sick of him and his word dribble, rants and general incomprehensible crap. He's like a boil that won't break.

WJB Motown's avatar

…This is a joke right????? ICE must be shut down and banned immediatly!!!

Why was Jeffries on Fascist Fox spouting absolute nothingness. Bring on Mark Kelly...Gavin...OAC....a real leader of the opposition party........ditch the loser.

"Hakeem Jeffries was asked on Fox why Dems won’t give in on the DHS shutdown: "We believe this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ICE that are bold, transformational, and meaningful - these are basic, common sense demands."

Linda Weide's avatar

That is going to be the theme of my No Kings Rally. NO MORE ICE! We did not have them before 1992 and things were just fine. Same with Homeland Security. Not needed. It doesn't do anything useful anymore and is just stealing our tax dollars to provide Kristi Noam with a private jet to have her sordid trists with Lewendowski on. There is nothing else it is doing that could not be outsourced to the agencies the other functions originally came from.

My rally will be in Germany, so it will also be NO ICE IN GERMANY! NO NAZIS (AfD) IN GERMANY! KEINE ICE in DEUTSCHLAND! KEINE NAZIS (AFD) in DEUTSCHLAND!

Janet Wilson's avatar

No question that the answer given to Faux should have been more direct: (while holding up a picture of an incarcerated baby) "Not being big fans of incarcerating babies and children in gulags, Democrats won't lift a finger to fund the illegal domestic terror organization known as ICE. They are fielding uncontrolled and brutal thugs, arming them with automatic weapons, tear gas and cans of pepper spray. What could go wrong?"

Ann Marie's avatar

I hope he’s not planning to waffle?

Linda Weide's avatar

Waffle is his middle name. Actually, that is more Schumer who screwed Jeffries over on another issue where both the House and Senate where supposed to vote no, and Schumer caved. He is a total DINO!

WJB Motown's avatar

Explain to us what you mean exactly???

Linda Weide's avatar

I love these rhetorical questions. They are so humorous.

WJB Motown's avatar

Chuckles and Jeffries should be having press conferences every morning calling out all this 2025 fascist bullshit!! MTN...IHIPNEWS....Damage Report...Farron ....the social media outlets are doing ALL the heavy lifting trying to save the USA.

Teresa G's avatar

They should have started that on day one of trumps regime

They are both not the leaders that we need in these times

LHS's avatar

I so agree. Every day! Press conference raving about the latest fascist moves by the regime. People are largely unaware of just how bad this is. Jonathan Last's post yesterday about the crap still occurring in Minnesota is an object lesson in what is NOT being reported by other media outlets. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw-minnesota-ice-war

Janet Wilson's avatar

Every Democrat elected should be holding up photos of incarcerated babies and children every time they give an interview.

WJB Motown's avatar

It is painful to witness Chuckles and Jeffries spew out word salad nothingness day in and day out.

Janet Wilson's avatar

Behind a paywall, can you summarize?

LHS's avatar

Darn. I thought if it was via the Blue Sky link, it wasn't paywalled. Will had a column about ICE's plans to put 8,500 "detainees" in a giant warehouse in Georgia. The "floor plan" looks like they are planning to cram them in like sardines. People on social media have been commenting on how much the "floor plan" looks like a slave ship. The Guardian had an article about this warehouse and it should be free to read: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/18/ice-detention-center-warehouse-georgia

J Johnson's avatar

Has Landry explained what exactly he did to help get the ships moored in another state sent to Greenland?

LHS's avatar

He sounds like he's off his meds or something.

Oaktown's avatar

… Christensen: “But Trump’s dementia-addled brain cannot process even the most straightforward info. Hence his bizarre post. In the WH, everyone knows that this is what has happened. The question is, when will they finally acknowledge that he is no longer mentally present?”

Time for the 25th Amendment, you idiot Cabinet!!! National security and our economy is at stake and you all sit there gazing at your navels and praising a demented, ignorant, low IQ idiot.

Janet Wilson's avatar

This cabinet will NEVER invoke the 25th. Trump has given them titles, jobs and remuneration wayyyy above their pay grade....it will be all downhill for them once he is gone and most of them will be facing not just unemployment but jail time.

Oaktown's avatar

They'll just be postponing the inevitable. Would be smarter to wake up to reality now, but they're planning on stealing elections instead.

Janet Wilson's avatar

Yes, it looks that way. I have to say, if I were a Republican in Congress I would make a very public break from Trump, talk about how the scales have fallen from my eyes, disavow the whole concentration camp, health care and tariff debacle, ask where all the money went, and start spewing traditional old fashioned conservative rhetoric. Because otherwise, I am not only going down in flames in the midterms, I am going down in the history books as a person who was AOK with all this criminality, dirtbag behaviour and out and out fascism. I would not want to have to explain any of that to my grandkids...

Good afternoon/evening Ron.. an excellent source of news! Jack Hughes is amazing on & off the ice! 👏🏼👏🏼

DonOLD and his boat trick.. that’s not stopping us talking about the Epstein files!

Aand his ‘tariff tricks’! Omg.. give it up dumpster donnie!

Midterms are coming.. don’t let off the pressure. The rethuglicans gotta get voted out!!!

Thanks, Ron, for another great weekend bulletin packed with news! I’m looking forward also to the Meidas Touch State of the Union on Tuesday instead of listening to the Tyrant in Chief in his unhinged demented State of the Union!

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on AOC: “The congresswoman is kind of like VP Harris, but with more bartending experience.”

At least she doesn’t spend her life doing a poor impression of Foghorn Leghorn. 🐔

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

I'm sorry, but it sounds as if Ms. Alcantu and her partner believed that Ms. Alcantara is one of those " special " immigrants. So she and her partner were fine with Trump's ICE militia rounding up people simply to fulfill artificial quotas that provided Trump donors with bodies for their for-profit detention camps, until she was arrested.

Smacking my head again

ramonaj's avatar

They are not going to stop

this. It's privatization of incarceration . I don't think it's just going to be ended when one particular American group is rounded up. They will pick another supposed "domestic terrorist " group to feed the monster they developed.
