Trump Responds to “Ford’s Theater Hoax” After MS Now Claims Trump Planning to Attach Name to Ford’s Theater

President Trump on Wednesday responded to reports that he seeks to affix his own name to Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC, the site of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865. 

Trump called the story, first published by MS Now, “a ridiculous lie.”

Notably, MS Now is one of the three outlets that Trump banned from the White House last week, citing the “FICTION and LIES” they report.

MS Now reported on Tuesday,

As President Donald Trump fights to rename the Kennedy Center after himself, administration officials are circulating a list of government sites that could have his name affixed to them in some way, according to people familiar with the effort.

One landmark that has emerged in the discussions among administration officials has raised eyebrows: Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

It is unclear how seriously the theater is being considered or how the administration would attach Trump’s name to it. One administration official said the idea had been discussed, but they didn’t know where it stood. The prospect sparked a flurry of discussion over the past week among people responsible for the historic site.

The discussions underscore how much of a priority honoring the president has become inside parts of the Trump administration — even as the Iran war nears its eighth month, diesel prices hit an all-time high, the midterm elections approach in six weeks and most Americans disapprove of the president’s job performance.

Trump responded to the report on Wednesday, calling it “FAKE NEWS” and blasting the Democrats and leftist journalists as “Degenerates and Losers who make up lie after lie.”

“Who would possibly want a name on such a tragic place? The Dumocrats suffer from serious Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Trump said.

‘It’s been too long – Trump’s still in power’: Texts reveal wife of nuclear scientist accused of selling foreign power submarine secrets wanted to flee US due to TRUMP and not because she feared arrest

A teacher accused of selling nuclear submarine secrets with her Navy engineer husband only wanted to flee the country because she hated Donald Trump, a court has been told.   

Lawyers for Diana Toebbe, 45, claim she only wanted to exit the US because of her disdain for the former president, and not because she was worried about getting caught for allegedly trying to sell the classified information.

They made the claim in court papers filed Wednesday, complete with an exchange of messages said to have taken place between Toebbe and her husband Jonathan in March 2019. 

Those texts also allegedly saw Diana Toebbe discuss fleeing to France. The country they tried to sell the secrets to has never been mentioned, and is said to be a US ally, although officials told NBC News that France was not the country targeted. 

Diana begins: ‘We need to get out.’ Jonathan appears bored with her statement, answering: ‘*sigh* where? To do what?’

His wife then says: ‘To anywhere. To do something else. To teach in international schools. To take Macron up on his offer to harbor scientific refugees.’

In an apparent attempt to calm Diana, Jonathan says: ‘Biden/Warren will curb stomp Trump/Pence.’

But Diana was undeterred, and replied: ‘WE NEED TO GET OUT. Hilary (sic) was going to curb stomp trump. I’m done.’ 

Jonathan touted then then-unpublished Mueller Report into alleged collusion between Team Trump and Russia, which ended up posing no threat to Trump’s presidency.

He wrote: ‘The Mueller report is coming real soon.’

But Diana remained angry, answering: ‘It’s been too long. Nothing has changed. He’s still in power.’ 

Jonathan replied: ‘Nothing in government moves that fast — believe me, I speak from personal experience.’

Diana then said: ‘(Trump crony) Manafort got a slap on the wrist. It’s a signal that the entire system is rigged.’

The chat then turned to escaping, with Jonathan saying: ‘We’ve got passports, and some savings. In a real pinch we can flee quickly.’

And Diana answered: ‘Right. Let’s go sooner than later.’ 

The pair were arrested in October and charged with selling secret information about nuclear submarines to an undercover FBI agent who posed as an operative for a foreign country.

Team Trump Releases the List CNN Wishes Didn’t Exist: A Staggering Tally of Failure and Deception

As our Ward Clark reported Friday, Donald Trump is fed up with the fake news mainstream media, and he took action by announcing that CNN, Politico, and MS NOW are no longer welcome to attend White House Press briefings or Oval Office Q&As. 

The president roasted the outlets on social media, saying they’re less trustworthy than Pinocchio and routinely inject immense bias into their stories. “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,” he wrote.

Expect lawsuits and First Amendment arguments and plenty of hyperventilating drama from those outlets; they’re simply not used to facing consequences (except for the occasional legal settlement) for playing fast and loose with the facts.

Huh? House Democrat Says Trump’s Renovations and Smithsonian Plans are “Violence on the Buildings” – “This is an Act of Violence!”

Democratic Congressman Jonathan Jackson ridiculously said on Thursday that President Trump is committing “acts of violence” with his renovations of DC’s memorials and reform of the Smithsonian.

He likened the beautification of our nation’s capital and the correction of the Smithsonian’s dishonest portrayal of history to the war in Iran, strikes against narcoterrorists in the Western Hemisphere, and instances of ICE agents defending themselves against violent left-wingers.

Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), Jonathan Jackson (D-IL), Kweisi Mfume (D-MD), and American Historical Association executive director Sarah Weicksel held a press conference on Thursday to announce new legislation, called the “Smithsonian Integrity Act.” The bill aims to stop the Trump Administration from removing left-wing political messaging and revisionist history from the National Museum of American History.

This comes as the Trump Administration moves forward with plans to install temporary signage outside of the museum, warning visitors of museum curators’ “personal viewpoints.”

“The informational signage [] will provide visitors with important context about the exhibits they are about to encounter and the personal viewpoints that the curators of the exhibits are seeking to advance,” Burgum wrote in a letter, notifying Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) of the change.

The White House previously released a 162-page report, exposing how the Smithsonian has rewritten and weaponized history “as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens.” Key findings from the report include the National Museum of American History’s anti-White activism, illegal alien activism, and transgender activism sprinkled throughout the museum’s exhibits. 

During the press conference on Thursday, the lawmakers were asked whether they were worried that Trump might “take advantage” of Congress’s recess to implement further changes. Stansbury responded, “absolutely,” before putting her Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display.

The Fantasy House of Mark Carney

anadian Prime Minister Mark Carney now believes he is more than just the Western foil to Donald Trump and his MAGA movement—he is the global one. Accordingly, he seems determined to demonstrate to the world how to stand up to Donald Trump, to force Trump to lose the midterms, and to hurt the U.S. economy to such a degree that Trump will never again bully other nations.

So, at the eleventh hour, Carney stormed out of an apparently completed tariff deal with the United States that would have privileged Canada over almost all of America’s other trading partners. Canada, we recall, has enjoyed a $50 billion goods trade surplus with the United States for years in a supposedly free and equitable North American trade zone.

Carney claimed that American proposals stripped away Canadian sovereignty and quashed Canadian culture, particularly French-Canadian culture. Yet he has not released the documents detailing the bilateral offers he rejected. Nor has he allowed his representatives to explain to the media why Canada blew up the negotiations at the last minute. Carney’s ever-changing excuses, explanations, and invectives about what happened are incoherent and contradictory.

That said, analysts on both sides of the border now concede that American digital-media companies do not customarily pay special taxes, as Carney demands, to promote local, regional, and ethnic culture while operating in Canada—any more than Canadian companies would be taxed for those purposes in the United States.

Canada and the United States both agree that China dumps cheap steel and aluminum into Canada, allowing Canadian manufacturers to use that cost advantage to export assembled vehicles to the vast U.S. market at prices below those of American vehicles. In that way, Canada’s new partnership with China circumvents America’s tariffs on Beijing. China will also send nearly 50,000 electric cars and trucks into Canada under a meager tariff, ensuring that the Canadian EV market is increasingly dominated by Chinese vehicles.

But Carney’s ploy goes beyond helping the communist Chinese dictatorship gain trade leverage over his own NATO neighbor. He has eagerly concluded a comprehensive Chinese-Canadian pact involving travel, visas, food safety, energy, and public security. Carney has grandly described these new agreements with Beijing as part of a new paradigm in which “middle powers” like Canada play China against the United States (Canada’s annual nominal GDP is roughly the size of New York State’s).

How ironic that Carney attacks his neighbor, the United States, for trade unfairness while warming to the communist dictatorship in China. Communist China, after all, is history’s greatest violator of trade protocols—guilty of manipulating its currency, dumping products to secure market share, violating copyright and patent laws, and imprisoning a million Uyghurs.

Democrats Still Don’t Know How to Read Charts

Democrats can be unintentionally hilarious sometimes. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) reposted a chart on X Tuesday claiming housing prices are “the most unaffordable in history,” and that it was Trump’s fault.

There was just one huge problem.

The chart Newsom shared showed that the housing affordability gap actually widened during Joe Biden’s presidency, and X users noticed almost instantly, flooding his replies with screenshots of the very data he’d just posted as though it helped his argument. It didn’t take long for the pile-on to turn Newsom’s own post into a meme about his reading comprehension.

But the funny thing about it is that Democrats keep doing this. In July 2025, the Democratic National Committee posted a chart that they thought proved grocery prices were spiraling out of control in Trump’s second term.

The chart told a different story. It showed a huge spike under Biden. The DNC had unwittingly undermined its own attack on Trump. Social media users mocked the party within hours, dissecting the chart line by line, forcing the DNC to quietly delete the post… not that that stopped us from making fun of them anyway.

New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul Pardons Convicted Felon Migrant to Protect Him from Deportation

New York’s Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul intervened in a U.S. Supreme Court case by giving an official pardon to a migrant who was convicted of a felony to try and prevent the Trump administration from deporting him.

The U.S. Supreme Court had agreed to hear the case of Dominican Republic national Keisy Guerrero Mariano, who was at the center of an argument on bond rights for noncitizens detained for lengthy periods.

Mariano was convicted of second-degree assault in 2015 and actually served time for the crime. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) later arrested him in 2020 and marked him for deportation for being a migrant with a dangerous assault conviction on his record, which is a violation of immigration rules. But by 2024, the Second Circuit Court ruled that prolonged detention can allow a migrant to claim a constitutional right to a bond hearing.

The Trump administration had appealed the Second Circuit’s ruling allowing Mariano to seek bond and further insisted that noncitizens, even those with green cards, do not have a legal right to a bond hearing for a prolonged detention if they have committed crimes that are grounds for mandatory deportation, Fox News reported.

Apparently fearing that Mariano would lose his case and then be deported, New York’s left-wing governor jumped into action to protect the dangerous migrant convict from being deported.

Hochul issued Mariano a full state pardon for his criminal record, thereby quashing the Supreme Court case against him and protecting him from deportation.

Former CIA Director John Brennan Subpoenaed Over Russiagate Conspiracy Against Trump

Former CIA Director John Brennan must testify under oath about his role in a grand conspiracy to frame President Donald Trump as a Russian puppet, according to a new legal filing.

Brennan will be compelled by a subpoena to testify on Oct. 15, 2026, before a federal grand jury sitting in Fort Pierce in Southern Florida, the legal filing shows..

The filing reveals the Justice Department (DOJ) is pursuing two probes, including a far-reaching conspiracy investigation to include “issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond,” an apparent reference to the 2022 FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago over classified records, and another narrower one related to Brennan’s sworn statements before Congress.

Brennan’s attorney Ken Wainstein revealed the subpoena in a filing in Brennan’s case against the Department of Justice. Brennan has accused Trump’s Justice Department of violating his constitutional rights in pursuit of “phantom criminal conduct.”

Reached through his law firm, Wainstein declined to comment.

The subpoena was signed by former Counselor to the Attorney General Joseph E. diGenova on Sept. 9, 2026. diGenova abruptly resigned as top prosecutor on the Russiagate conspiracy case the next day, on Sept. 10.

North Carolina Dem Visits Dachau, Says MAGA Supporters Belong There

Most people who visit Nazi concentration camps say that they cannot believe anyone could have ever committed such atrocities. But one North Carolina Democrat decided she would love to see her political opponents suffering in one of the most infamous camps.

Shelly Headen seems to have deleted her social media accounts, or at least made them private, because although there are screenshots of her crazy comments, I was not able to find the original posts. She has made seriously concerning comments before, but her latest one is particularly staggering.

Breitbart uncovered the latest craziness. There are many things wrong with the photo below, the first being that Headen is smiling broadly. That is not the expression you would expect from someone standing in front of ovens used to incinerate the corpses of tens of thousands of people.

Secondly, of course, she is not only advocating for locking up people with whom she disagrees politically; she’s literally calling for them to be massacred and burned in ovens, since she is literally standing in the Dachau crematorium.

Whoopi Goldberg of ‘The View’ Campaigns for Democrats in the Midterms: ‘Our Lives Literally Depend on This’

The View came back from a summer hiatus this week and dove head first into campaigning for the Democrats in the 2026 midterms.

Among the conversations on the show today were, invoking the 25th Amendment on President Trump, and voting for the Democrats because, according to host Whoopi Goldberg, ‘our lives literally depend on this.’

This type of open electioneering for one side is why The View has come under a microscope with the FCC. ABC News is not supposed to do this, but they allow The View to do it all the time.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

BEHAR: Let me ask you, you say the emperor had no clothes what if he took all his clothes off?

FARAH GRIFFIN: People would tell him he looks great and he’s in great shape.

BEHAR: If he took all his clothes off and started running around the pool. Would they get him out then?

HOSTIN: 25th Amendment!

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: All of these things, all of these things are in our hands.

BEHAR: Vote, vote.

GOLDBERG: This is what we can tell you, if you want to see change, you got to make the change. It doesn’t matter your color. It doesn’t matter if your a Democrat or Republican, if you want change, you got to get out there and make it happen.
