Daily Mail White House columnist Andrew Neil says he is in direct talks with people working around President Donald Trump and they fear they are watching his mind wither away as international forces that he aggravated gather against him. “‘Donald is deteriorating before our very eyes,’ I was told in Washington this week by a close confidant who sees him regularly. ‘His physical and mental health is in decline. Those around him don’t know what to do about it. It can only get worse. He’s 80 – and it’s showing,’” wrote Neil on Friday . The war isn’t just consuming Trump’s presidency, said Neil. It’s taking its toll on the President himself. “During a recent meeting in the Oval Office, he ranted against Iran’s leaders, calling them ‘scumbags’ and ‘lunatics’ in an expletive-ridden diatribe. There is growing concern for his physical health and mental stability,” said Neil. “… But it’s not just age – or the decline in cognitive capabilities that can afflict those entering their ninth decad...

'Snowflake': Critics blister Trump for posting signs calling Smithsonian 'inaccurate'

Image
The New York Times reports that President Donald Trump on Friday ordered warning signs and exhibits installed outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to alert the public that the museum does not, in his view, accurately reflect American history. The executive order is “an escalation of the president’s dispute with the Smithsonian and its history museum, which was the subject of a recent 162-page report,” said the Times. “The report accused the museum’s director, Anthea M. Hartig, of ‘radical activist ideology’ and the museum of undermining ‘faith in American institutions.’” Trump’s EO directed the signage to “notify visitors that the museum exhibits should be renovated … and direct visitors to locations and resources for accurate information regarding America’s history.” “Because the museum has failed to appropriately honor the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence during this 250th anniversary year of the founding of our country,” the order continues, ...

Trump boosts Alaska funding to seemingly win Murkowski’s vote on Blanche

Image
Lisa Murkowski is undecided on the confirmation of controversial AG nominee Todd Blanche, but President Donald Trump’s DOJ appears to be doing everything it can to sweeten the deal for her. Now that the nomination of Trump’s former personal attorney and author of the widely panned Trump $1.8 trillion slush fund hangs in the balance, the Blanche’s DOJ is raining down cash on The Last Frontier, with the U.S. Attorney’s office in Anchorage to fill long neglected prosecutorial positions, particular positions focused on prosecuting federal cases impacting rural Alaska and our Tribal communities.” “This position allocation is a direct result of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s recent trip to Alaska,” Blanche’s office stated in a Fridy press release . “On July 7 and 8, Acting Attorney General Blanche traveled to Anchorage and the Western Alaska communities of Bethel and Emmonak. During his visit, he heard firsthand the need for increased resources to address public safety concerns in...

Best way to reach Trump is his nutty influencers: conservative

Image
President Donald Trump is widely accused of being overly-sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin , with various commentators referring to him as “ Team Putin” or a “Putin puppet.” Yet after far right influencer Laura Loomer gave a sympathetic interview to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this week, CNN journalists argued there is a way to change Trump’s mind. “The whole thing's odd and interesting,” CNN’s S. E. Cupp said on Thursday. “Look, if she's going to do propaganda, I'd rather it be Zelenskyy's version of propaganda than Putin's, okay? And she was regurgitating all the Putin propaganda before. So was Tucker Carlson. All the far right was. That’s crazy. And I'm glad that she went there, right? It's one thing to be a keyboard warrior. It's easy to say things from the safety of the patio at Mar-a-Lago. It's much different when you go to a place.” Cupp added, “That's why we encourage journalists to get out of the news...

Trump mangles 200-year-old foreign policy to justify potential new invasion: expert

Image
President Donald Trump has repeatedly hinted that he plans on invading Cuba , and claims that he has the right to do so based on the 1823 foreign policy principle known as the “Monroe Doctrine.” Yet a constitutional law and foreign policy expert just explained that his portmanteau “Donroe Doctrine” is in fact a massive mangling of President James Monroe’s seminal achievement. “In Trump’s view, and that of the Monroe Doctrine’s detractors on the progressive left, the long-standing policy supports U.S. dominance over Latin America and the use of military force to achieve political and economic goals,” wrote Katherine Yon Ebright, a counsel in the Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program, in an article for Lawfare . “That view, however, misreads the Monroe Doctrine’s purpose and ignores its history. The historical record instead supplies strong precedents for war powers constraints, not presidential aggrandizement in matters of war.” Ebright went on to describe how Monroe...

‘Where good ideas die’: Republican breaks ranks in revolt against Trump

Image
President Donald Trump has so crippled Congress, Republican lawmakers are coming forward to denounce everything from the gridlock to the president’s obsession with unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Now a breaking report reveals that they literally feel the climate under Trump is such that the Senate has become a place where good ideas are simply impossible to implement. “The Senate just seems to be a place where good ideas are going to die,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) told Semafor's Burgess Everett and Nicholas Wu on Thursday . Similarly Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) argued that while he would like to support a clean stopgap funding bill, “I’m just saying: I don’t know if it’s a practical plan.” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) told Semafor that “I’m worried about our ability to pass things in general.” Another staunch Trump supporter, Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), observed to Semafor that “going home and telling the voters: ‘I can’t get this done because of our own rules...

Aide tries to sell Trump's 'unmatched energy' — but Americans aren't buying it

Image
President Donald Trump’s seeming cognitive decline is so serious , experts have worried about his control of America’s nuclear arsenal . Trump’s aides insist that the reports of his supposed mental health issues are exaggerated — but a new survey reveals Americans are not buying it. “The Strength in Numbers/Verasight poll, conducted July 14-17, 2026, among 1,514 U.S. adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, found that 46 percent of Americans rate Trump's mental sharpness as president as ‘poor,’” Newsweek reported on Wednesday. This figure, which is only four points lower than the number of Americans who believe President Joe Biden was cognitively not fit for office, occurs roughly a month after Trump turned 80 and thereby became only the second octogenarian to serve in the White House — following Biden himself. The Trump White House protested against these findings in a statement to Newsweek. White House spokesman Davis Ingle told the venerable magazi...
