'I couldn't believe it': Mike Lindell in shock after Newsmax settles with Dominion

08/19/25 5:15 PM

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was caught off guard after conservative news outlet Newsmax settled a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems by agreeing to pay $67 million over bogus 2020 election claims.During a Tuesday appearance on his Lindell TV network, the pillow executive said he didn't understand why Newsmax would settle because President Donald Trump had hinted at an executive order banning voting machines."I think it's bizarre," Lindell remarked. "I think [network CEO] Chris Ruddy and the lawyers over at Newsmax are completely oblivious to what's coming out of the White House.""It's the most nonsensical thing I've ever seen," he continued. "We're getting rid of the machines. They've all got to go. For Newsmax to do this, I couldn't believe it."Lindell insisted that voting machine companies' "days were numbered" in the U.S."This stuff isn't just about getting rid of the machines," he said. "We're going to, the problems are going to be shown and what happened in the 2020 election.""We're not stopping until we show what actually happened and not just that election, other elections, and how fast the crimes go all the way back to Venezuela with these machine companies," Lindell added.The MyPillow CEO asserted that he would "never" stop attacking Dominion, even though he is facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from the company.Watch the video below from Lindell TV.

'I'm right here': Trump struggles to find foreign leader sitting in front of his face

08/18/25 8:00 PM

President Donald Trump flubbed the introduction of Finnish President Alexander Stubb on Monday during the meeting with European leaders who support Ukraine. Trump was announcing each leader, who then would make a comment or thank him for the invitation. He gave each official a little compliment. As he announced Stubb, however, he appeared not to realize that the Finnish president was sitting right in front of him. "President Stubb of Finland. And he's somebody that — we're all here, we're, we're," he looked around the room, seemingly confused."I'm right here," said Stubb."Oh, you look better than I've ever seen. You look — but you've done a great job, and we wanted to have you here because you're somebody that we all respect," Trump continued. Journalist Aaron Rupar posted a screen capture of Stubb's position sitting before Trump to illustrate the unusual nature of the moment. "It seems Trump almost forgot about Finnish President Alexander Stubb, launching into folksy talk about the White House before throwing it to Stubb, who began by justifying Finland’s seat at the table. He implies that Finland’s history of dealing with Moscow will bear fruit in Ukraine," commented Kevin Rothrock, the English-language managing editor for the Russian news site Meduza.See the moment below or at the link here. - YouTube youtu.be

'Resignations seem likely': Economist predicts investigation of Trump's $600 billion fail

08/21/25 3:12 PM

President Donald Trump's administration has published the terms of the trade deal with the European Union, but some of the promises Trump claimed were coming didn't materialize after all, according to one economics expert.University of Michigan economics and public policy professor Justin Wolfers wrote on X that after perusing the deal, he discovered Trump's promise of $600 billion being sent to the U.S. from the E.U. isn't on the list. "The most important thing is what's not there. Trump had boasted, 'They gave me $600 billion, and that’s a gift.' But guess what? They didn't. He didn't get a penny," wrote Wolfers. "Bottom line: The final text of the EU-US trade deal delivers $5,000 less to the average American household than the handshake agreement Trump boasted of on August 5.""I expect there will be soul-searching, an investigation, and recriminations, as the White House explores how its negotiators fell $600 billion short of the deal the president thought he had struck. Resignations seem likely, and a re-think of the entire deal-making apparatus," Wolfers added. The deal mapped out on July 28 promised, "The EU will purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and make new investments of $600 billion in the United States, all by 2028." It explained, "The EU will invest $600 billion in the United States over the course of President Trump’s term. This new investment is in addition to the over $100 billion EU companies already invest in the United States every year."It appeared again toward the end of the July 28 plan: "The deal bolsters America’s economy and manufacturing capabilities. The EU will purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy and make new investments of $600 billion in the United States, all by 2028."The Aug. 21 deal changes the language significantly, shifting from a commitment to phrases like "make new investments" and "invest," and now saying things like they're "expected to invest." "In this context, European companies are expected to invest an additional $600 billion across strategic sectors in the United States through 2028," the document says, removing the firm commitment. "This investment reflects the European Union’s strong commitment to the transatlantic partnership and its recognition of the United States as the most secure and innovative destination for foreign investment," the new deal says.

'She's sending a message': Trump biographer says Melania dissed husband in letter to Putin

08/22/25 10:42 AM

The First Lady offered a subtle dig at her husband in a letter she recently penned to the Russian president, according to one analyst. Michael Wolff, who has written four books about President Donald Trump, said on a recent episode of the podcast "Inside Trump's Head" that the letter Melania Trump wrote to Vladimir Putin contained a diss meant for President Trump. Wolff's comments came about a week after Trump and Putin met in Alaska to discuss a peace settlement for the war in Ukraine. "I think that this latest letter is a diss at Trump," Wolff said. "She's Eastern European, and obviously has long experience and feelings about Russia and Russians, and Putin. And, she probably sees her husband bowing down to Putin, and it rankles her." "I mean, it's like, you know, f--- him," Wolff continued. Ahead of the Trump-Putin summit, Melania penned a letter asking Putin to think of the children as he continues his war in Ukraine. "Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center," the letter reads in part. "They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger."The seemingly innocuous letter became clearer during Trump's meeting with European leaders when he lamented that Melania loves their son Barron more than she loves Trump. "If I'm reading between the lines, I think it's she's sending a message," Wolff added. "I mean, it's always hard to tell. She always seems to be sending a message."Watch the entire episode below or by clicking here.

'There is no chance of winning!' Trump makes grim declaration about Russia's Ukraine war

08/21/25 2:10 PM

President Donald Trump fired off at former President Joe Biden Thursday for his handling of the Russo-Ukraine War, alleging that Biden “would not let Ukraine fight back, only defend,” despite history saying otherwise.“Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine fight back, only defend,” Trump wrote in an online post on his social media platform Truth Social. “How did that work out? Regardless, this is a war that would have never happened if I were president — zero chance. Interesting times ahead!”Trump’s allegation, however, flies in the face of years’ worth of Biden’s policy on Ukraine. While the Biden administration was initially hesitant to send Ukraine offensive weapons, those hesitations were soon caved on as Biden walked back previous positions in sending the Eastern European nation increasingly-powerful weapons like tanks, F-16 fighter jets and long-range missiles.Biden’s willingness to provide Ukraine with offensive weapons was so pronounced that even some of Trump’s most loyal allies began to criticize the administration for its provocation, such as Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL).“If they don’t quit what they’re doing, they’re going to force us into a third world war,” Tuberville said back in 2023 to Alabama Daily News, speaking on Biden approving increasingly-powerful offensive weapons to be shipped to Ukraine.Nevertheless, Trump insisted that Biden had only permitted Ukraine to act defensively against Russia, and in an unclear comparison, likened the Biden policy on Ukraine to illegal immigration in the United States.“It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country,” Trump wrote. “It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia.”

'Unbelievable': MSNBC host hammers Pete Hegseth's Pentagon for handcuffing Ukraine

08/25/25 12:06 PM

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon has been using its leverage to keep Ukraine from responding in kind to massive attacks from Russia as it defends its territory.That led an incredulous Joe Scarborough to lash out at the Trump administration and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has been accused of meddling with Ukraine weapons shipments, of handcuffing the besieged country while once again giving Russian President Vladimir Putin an upper hand in the war.Holding up a copy of the Journal with a headline reading “Pentagon Has Quietly Blocked Ukraine’s Long-Range Missile Strikes on Russia,” the “Morning Joe" host launched into a tirade.Noting Russia's demands as part of the ceasefire agreement that has gone nowhere, the MSNBC host pointed out, “The security guarantee, they say Russia has to be a part of that. China has to be a part of that –– all nonstarters, all absolutely ridiculous, that will never happen.”“Also after talking to Donald Trump, they [Russia] blow up American factories,” he added. “So again, the question is what happens today after [Russian diplomat Sergey] Lavrov goes on TV and says, we're basically going to do nothing, we're just going to sit back.”“And what happens today inside the Pentagon when we find out that the United States military leadership is telling Ukraine, who has been invaded by the Russians, 'Hey, they're allowed to kill your women and children. They're allowed to lob missiles into apartment buildings, but you can't even strike military targets deep inside Russia.'""That is unbelievable,” he exclaimed. “I cannot even imagine, I cannot even imagine what they would be saying about a Democrat if a Democrat were doing that at this stage of the war during these negotiations.”You can watch below or at the link. - YouTube youtu.be
