1979 Is the Year That Explains Donald TrumpIt sure feels like 1979 again. Iran is fighting the West. The price of gas has been rising for weeks. Moscow is aiming to take advantage of a distracted White House. The party in control of Washington is anxiously looking at the polls. Flared pants and jumpsuits are back! So are cigarettes. Steven Spielberg is riding high after doing a movie about humans encountering aliens. (Not to be outdone, actual space missions are back too.) U2 put out new music. Even the Pittsburgh Pirates are good.And if we do seem to have returned to that moment in time, then, well, Donald Trump would seem to be ready for whatever comes next, because the guy has lived his whole life like it’s the 1980s.He embraces the big-bigger-biggest ethos of the decade, with its gold-plated style and “greed is good” mantra. His views have been…

‘Not Acceptable’: President of Iran Condemns Trump For His ‘Desecration of…AP Photo/Vahid Salemi Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned President Donald Trump for posting an image of himself as Jesus Christ on Monday, describing the incident as a “desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood.” After Trump lashed out at Pope Leo XIV and posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ in front of a strange, horned figure in the sky, Pezeshkian condemned the act in a social media post. “His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person,” he wrote. “I wish you glory by Allah.” His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great…

Trump Purged About 75 People Charged With Safeguarding Elections and Replaced So…(AP Photo/ Evan Vucci, File) President Donald Trump’s administration forced out at least 75 career federal officials involved in protecting U.S. elections and replaced nearly a dozen of them with appointees tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 result, according to a sweeping new ProPublica investigation. The report says the departures have hollowed out long-standing safeguards at the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and other parts of government ahead of this year’s midterm elections, placing key election-related powers in the hands of Trump loyalists and figures from the 2020 election denial movement. ProPublica found that nearly all of the officials it identified as having resisted attempts to undo Trump’s 2020 loss are now gone, having resigned, been fired, or reassigned. In their place, the administration has installed roughly two dozen people in roles that could affect elections….

Fox News is Openly Ignoring Trump Posting Himself as Jesus(Screengrab via X/TruthSocial) The president of the United States posted a photo depicting himself as Jesus. Fox & Friends, a morning show known for its embrace of Christian values, said absolutely nothing. No outrage over blasphemy, no condemnation for blurring church and state, no basic questioning of judgment or morality. From the loudest Christian voices in conservative media and politics — silence. The details here matter. Earlier Sunday, Trump had taken to Truth Social to attack Pope Leo XIV, calling him “WEAK” on crime and suggesting the Catholic Church had essentially installed him as pontiff to manage the American president. It was an unhinged bit of writing, even by Trump’s over-the-top standards to which wev’e all become numb. Forty minutes later, he posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ. Robes. Holy light. A healing hand extended over a sick…
