By October 14, Kristi Noem released a new video for TSA employees, also blaming Democrats for the shutdown.

The White House website pages all were headed by “Democrats Have Shut Down the Government”. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was headed in bright red captioning, “The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people”. And source headlines read, “These 13 Airports Won’t Air DHS Video Blaming Democrats for Shutdown”.

2026-01-15 During a White House press briefing Karoline Leavitt berated and humiliated a journalist for asking about comments made by Trump to cancel the 2026 mid-term elections. She stated, “…only someone like you would take that so seriously and pose it as a question in that way”. When the journalist asked if ICE agents were doing everything correctly after the killing of Nicole Good, Karoline spouted, “Oh, okay. So you’re a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. Yeah, because you’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter. You’re posing in this room as a journalist. And it’s so clear by the premise of your question. And you and the people in the media who have such biases but fake like you’re a journalist – you shouldn’t even be sitting in that seat. But you’re pretending like you’re a journalist, but you’re a left-wing activist”.

His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here”. Later, a very confused Trump told reporters that NATO leadership loved him. He stated “They called me ‘daddy’ right? A very smart man said – He’s our daddy, he’s running it”. Also at the World Economic Forum, Trump stated, “but sometimes you need a dictator”.

They used Braveheart, Superman, Top Gun, Breaking Bad, Iron Man, songs from Toby Keith about 9/11, NFL college football tackles, Major League Baseball home runs, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat, Halo, and fire emojis, among several other things. One actor was quoted as saying he had, “no interest in being part of your propaganda machine”. As though the war in Iran was just a game.

The interviewer of Meet the Press asked, “Do you think it’s appropriate for the President of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen, someone who’s a bronze star, Purple Heart recipient, who’s served in Vietnam?” Bessent answered, “Kristin, I was with the President in the green room at Davos and there was a video playing of what may have been an illegal raid on his home at Mar-a-Lago – they’re going through his wife’s wardrobe…and I watched the look in his eye, and I think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the President and to his family”.

We’re just going to outbreed the left. You ever met a lib?”. Among a multitude of other things left to unpack there, acting as though women are designed to be breeding stock for political agendas.
