Fox Host Asks Trump If Iranians Have Food And Water, Trump Hits On Her Instead

As Donald Trump's illegal war with Iran steamrolls into its sixth month, with absolutely no conceivable end in sight, one Fox News host attempted to ask the President a starkly serious question: Are the people in Iran okay?

Trump called into Fox for a phone interview this week, where Dana Perino, a co-host on Fox News' The Five and former White House Press Secretary to George W. Bush, pressed him on the living conditions of Iranian civilians amid the ongoing war.

"I think it is alarming that we have not been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian people, and I imagine that is because their internet is shut down, and I think there is some general worry about them. Obviously, their government treats them terribly and killed tens of thousands of them in January," Perino said. "I would never ask you to tell us something that is classified, but do you have any insight as to how they are doing? Do they have drinking water? Do they have food? It's upsetting."

Before Perino was even able to finish her sentence, Trump was already beginning to interject with his typical, "Right... Right... I do. I do."

His interruptions were rude enough, but the more he talked, the worse it got.

In fact, "I do" was the only semblance of an actual response to the question he gave.

Duffy Finds A New Threat To America - DEI Bike Lanes

Trans Secretary Sean Duffy doesn't have time to worry about plane crashes. He's too busy traveling all over the country _ on the taxpayers' dime, mind you - filming reality TV shows and looking for real threats to America, like rainbow crosswalks.

And sure enough, Duffy has done it again!

Earlier this month, he announced his crusade against DEI bike paths:

But Duffy is doing more than just diverting funds from Biden-era projects. He has also ordered DOT staff to scour the agency's websites and remove all mentions of bike paths, traffic cameras, and other tools proven to improve road safety. He even forced them to take down valuable tools like the Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool.

Trump WH Asks Supreme Court Shadow Docket To Limit Mail Ballots

Republicans and Donald Trump will do ANYTHING to cheat in the midterm elections (99 days from today!). Their latest dirty trick is to try to have the Supreme Court allow them to limit mail-in voting through the secretive "shadow docket."

For those unaware, the Shadow Docket is a fast-track way to have an emergency ruled on without hearings. It handles "urgent" requests, like stays of execution, emergency injunctions and administrative stays. There are no oral arguments (ie, the other side doesn't get to present); cases are decided literally behind closed doors without public hearings. The justices review short written arguments, and often the decision is made in a brief and unsigned ruling.

It is a DIRTY way of trying to squeeze something by, so of course Donald Trump is doing it in another attempt to put his fat little thumb on the scale for the November midterms.

The Washington Post is reporting that the Trump Administration asked the Supreme Court to give its blessing to a completely crazy executive order to place "major new restrictions" on mail-in ballots prior to the midterm elections.

Just last week a Massachusetts appeals court kept in place a block on the order, stating that it would “sow confusion” and “threaten disenfranchisement of many eligible voters.”

Trump Is Going To LOSE IT Over What His Allies Are Doing Behind Closed Doors

Midterm elections are closing in like a dark cloud on the Grand Old Party, and many of Donald Trump's own allies seem to be attempting to cut off the hand to spare the body behind closed doors.

According to new reporting from MS NOW White House correspondent Jake Traylor, on Sunday's episode of Alex Witt Reports, many of Donald Trump's own close allies are going behind the President's back, urging Republican candidates to publicly break with the President on the subject of the war in Iran, if they want any hope of securing a victory in their impending elections.

Yesterday, a truly damning poll went public, shedding a vicious light on just how deeply the vein of unpopularity regarding the Iran War runs among Americans, ahead of November, when Republicans will face their most dire and crucial election in modern history as they desperately claw and grasp to maintain their slim control over both branches of Congress.

The enlightening new poll from CBS/YouGov found that Trump's war with Iran maintains a 65 percent disapproval rating, with 66 percent believing that Trump's five-month, ongoing war with Iran is going "somewhat" or "very badly." Two-thirds believe that the war should end immediately, while 60 percent believe that the President is basically lying, in an attempt to make things sound "better than they really are."
