Donald Trump spent this past weekend proving to the world that he has lost his entire grip on reality. He first claimed that the city of Portland, Oregon is literally being burned to the ground as "insurrectionists" have taken over - which isn't happening anywhere in the city. He then claimed during a rally that he is in better shape than President Obama was, and that's even going back to Trump's first term in office when he was even more obese than he is right now. The man is totally off his rocker, and that's not good for the country. 

Top Trump advisor Stephen Miller went off the rails this past weekend after a judge temporarily blocked Donald Trump from activating the Oregon national guard. Miller claimed that the judges who are ruling against Trump are launching a "legal insurrection," a message clearly designed to put judges in the crosshairs of MAGA activists. And it may have worked, as just hours later a judge that had ruled against the administration in a privacy case had her house burned to the ground. 

Kristi Noem went crying to Fox News over the weekend to complain about the fact that the federal ICE raids taking place in Chicago are not going well because people in the city are being too mean to her gestapo. Noem literally whined that agents aren't allowed to use restrooms at private businesses and that they are feeling unwelcome when they try to order lunches. Noem did this to the agency, so the blame lies squarely with her.

Pete Hegseth admitted during a brief chat with reporters that Donald Trump recently called him into the Oval Office to yell at him for "not getting the job done." While Hegseth didn't specify what that "job" is, it is clear that he's telling us that Trump screamed at him for being a complete failure. This explains why Hegseth has been so visible recently, most notably with his lackluster pep rally for military generals who left questioning the sanity of the Secretary of Defense and the President. 

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are heading back to the Capitol on Wednesday to hold a press to demand that Congress (Republicans) release the Epstein files that they have been shielding from the public for far too long. Republicans in Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, have intentionally delayed the swearing in of a recently-elected Democrat in order to avoid a vote on releasing the files, and even Trump supporters are starting to question the motives of these Republican leaders.
