Qatari Military Base…on US Soil
Let’s start with Trump’s shiny new Qatari military base at Mountain Home in Idaho—because nothing screams “America First” like building a foreign air force facility on U.S. soil. The Pentagon (with Pete Hegseth waving the flag) is calling it a “training partnership,” but nobody’s buying what they’re selling. Just months ago, Trump paraded around inside a private Qatari 747, then conveniently green-lit Qatar’s golf course deal and now this base. Qatar’s track record is sketchy at best—terror ties, bribery, and gifting jets to leaders who play ball. Critics are yelling corruption, saying the administration looks bought and paid for, especially since the Qatari royals behind this jet have more red flags than a FIFA World Cup qualifying round. With Qatar’s fingerprints all over past terrorism finance and World Cup labor deaths, letting them park their F-15s here feels more like a pocket-lining bribe than smart defense policy.

ICE Updates
In Chicago, a federal judge finally smacked down the National Guard deployment—no troops on city streets for at least two weeks, because, surprise, there’s no open rebellion, just people protesting ICE abuses. The judge also cracked down on federal goons firing pepper balls at protesters, including a local pastor, and banned certain force tactics. The Trump administration’s legal team is still desperately insisting there’s some sort of emergency, but both Chicago and Portland are pushing back hard in court. Portland’s case is still waiting on a panel ruling, but so far, local resistance has the upper hand. All this while the White House hypes up wildly exaggerated “assaults” on ICE agents—numbers that collapse under real scrutiny.

Trump is the picture of “health” – gag me
Trump himself is under the microscope—a literal one. He hauled himself into Walter Reed for a “semi-annual physical” (his second in six months), right after a summer diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency. The man’s got swollen ankles and mystery bruises on his hand that the doc chalked up to aspirin and “lots of hand-shaking.” But doing two checkups a year wasn’t standard until now, and the White House’s explanations are more bizarre than reassuring. For a man who wants to look unstoppable, he’s not exactly running the “picture of health” playbook. He’s probably wondering around the West Wing looking for his new girl friend with the weird name – “Habeas Corpus”

RFK Dumbassery
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is out there, once again proving there’s no ceiling on crazy in American politics. He made headlines for a face-palm of a comment trying to link autism rates to…circumcisions. Not vaccines, not genetics—nope, circumcisions. It’s so out there, even anti-vaxxers look like brain surgeons next to him.

MAGA Vacations…again
Onto the legislative chaos: The House is, predictably, crashing and burning again. Shutdowns are now as regular as sunrise, with federal employees facing layoffs as Republicans and Democrats can’t get their act together on a spending bill. Trump is busy threatening “massive” China tariffs while every other part of the government grinds to a halt. Vought stated today, RIF’s have started. Again, NOT the man that should have this power.

The Lies Karoline told today
Elsewhere in Trump’s orbit: social media is ablaze with right-wing influencers breaking rank over the Qatar deal (not that it’ll slow anyone down), and the usual crowd is either fawning or foaming at the mouth. Karoline Leavitt’s latest press briefing was more spin than fact, desperately downplaying Trump’s double-dip doctor visits and ignoring the noise about the Qatar controversy. The drip, drip, drip of legal woes continues for Team Trump, with lots of backroom scrambling but very little accountability.
Here’s Karoline Leavitt’s October 10 press briefing and her parade of whoppers:
1. She called Trump’s “routine” Walter Reed visit his “annual physical”—conveniently ignoring he just did one a few months ago. That’s two in less than six months, which is absolutely not routine, especially for someone whose last exam sparked rumors of health problems.
2. Leavitt blamed every inch of the government shutdown squarely on Democrats “holding America hostage” to demand “free healthcare for illegal aliens.” This is complete fiction. The actual funding standoff is about all sorts of priorities—border, Ukraine, earmarks—that both parties are fighting over. There’s zero evidence Democrats are holding things up for free healthcare for undocumented immigrants, and most of the appropriations language blocks such spending.
3. She claimed the Republican “clean and non-partisan funding bill” would magically pay the troops, fund food aid for families, and keep everything running, as if the bill wasn’t loaded down with poison pills and cuts. Nearly every independent analysis shows the House version gutted key programs, targeting Democratic districts and forcing layoffs in vital agencies instead of keeping things fully open.
4. Leavitt pushed the line that layoffs happening across federal agencies are entirely because Democrats are “inflicting pain on American citizens.” The actual reason is that the Trump administration started issuing reduction-in-force notices (“RIFs”) the moment the shutdown started, and had prepped for it weeks ahead of time as political ammo against Biden legacy staff.
5. She ranted about military families “already going without pay” and warned about a total collapse of the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) food assistance program—another exaggeration. Payments for military and food programs are still being handled as required for essential services, even in partial shutdown.
6. Leavitt claimed air traffic controllers were “working without pay, compromising safety.” These workers are considered essential and, by law, are compensated eventually, but safety procedures and paychecks aren’t eliminated—just delayed. No significant safety compromise has been documented.
7. She trotted out the myth that ICE and federal agents are facing a “wave of violence” and that the National Guard needs to be deployed to restore order in Chicago and Portland. The facts: Courts have blocked these deployments, finding zero local support from police chiefs. Actual crime stats and public reports show typical protest activity, not insurrection or dangerous riots. Leavitt ignored every local official disputing the emergency.
8. She tried to dodge the Qatar scandal with the new ID base, saying “independent journalists” have uncovered no wrongdoing, and it’s “perfectly normal” for allies to get training here. The reality: There’s bipartisan outrage, open investigation, and not a single major defense expert thinks this base agreement is standard practice. And the Qatar jet gift controversy is still growing.
9. Leavitt repeated claims about President Trump’s economic plans, saying drug prices will drop “200, 300, 100%.” That’s not just bad math—it’s physically impossible. Prices can be cut by 100% at most, meaning free. Anything above that? Pure MAGA fantasy math.
Each of Leavitt’s distortions was either a flat-out lie or wild exaggeration meant to blame, distract, or defend the administration’s meltdown. There’s no other way to put it—the briefing was a masterclass in political gaslighting.

I’m pretty exhausted and heartbroken. As each week passes I have this hope that SOMEONE will do SOMETHING. Hold these people accountable. DO FUCKING SOMETHING. Why are these people still sitting in positions of power. When is the media going to cover what is actually happening vs. pushing their agenda’s.
Here is the deal – you still support Trump – you are either:
HIGHLY uneducated
HIGHLY racist
Brain Dead
WAKE THE FUCK UP
Speak Truth! Keep speaking TRUTH!
Go Cause Good Trouble, with Your Elbows Up!
