"The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" doesn't even make sense. Why have the extra "the" in the name? He just slapped his name up there like it means something. Anyway, it'll be in the trash next to all the other gold leaf crap in three years.

I will be pretty quiet for the rest of 2025. But I can't express how grateful I am for your support and love during this awful year. I have big plans for 2026, and can't wait to share more. If you're at all able, even a small subscription on Patreon is a big help! Patreon.com/MikeRothschild

This is a pretty standard response from conspiracy theorists. They see themselves as truth seekers and excavators of lies, as opposed to paranoid cranks who live in manufactured realities.

We're speed running the bad crazy and chaos of the late 60s, but with an immoral lunatic as president, a huge part of the country absolutely addicted to endless streams of violent outrage, and without the great music.

My first knowledge of the Bondi Beach massacre was someone calling it a false flag. We skip over any sort of empathy or shock right to conspiracy theories and unhinged antisemitic ranting. We are completely lost.

At the time of Charlie Kirk's death, he was largely unknown outside of a narrow group of right-wingers and college students (24% name recognition, according to YouGov), so there is little doubt that the number who care about his wife is even smaller. Weiss confuses the GOP info-bubble with America.

The 0 to 60 charm offensive around Erika Kirk is really something. Six months ago she was the wife of a podcaster, and had little to no public recognition. Now she's a prophetess rubbing elbows with the country's power elite.

Yesterday, on his podcast on a QAnon-affiliated network, a QAnon figure known as "GMoney" told Trump-supporting investor Grant Cardone in an interview that "I don't pay my taxes" & "I don't file my federal taxes." He also asked Cardone if he's "ever asked Trump about Q."

It's a few weeks off, but I'm available for interviews, op-eds, etc, around the first anniversary of the Eaton Fire. I've written and spoken extensively about the experience of surviving and rebuilding, and am eager to keep Altadena in the public eye. Please reach out!

Hard to identify the best part of this 1964 ad--the obvious headline, the misspelling of Reagan's last name, or the shout out to John Stoemer's blockbuster (and howlingly inaccurate) conspiracy-ridden book "None Dare Call it Treason" about the supposedly "treasonous" thread of the US left.

An impeachment vote is a total waste of time right now. If Dems take the House in 2026, impeachment will be in play. But right now, this accomplishes nothing.

Trump can't bluster and threaten his way toward avoiding a blowout in 2026. The juice has run out. I would expect more Republicans to openly defy him in the months to come, knowing it might be the only way to save their asses.

Fire survivors say rebuilding is a full time job. These last few weeks have proven it, as we've been up against multiple deadlines and I haven't been able to write at all. Your support is a huge help, and I promise to hit the ground running in 2026. patreon.com/MikeRothschild

Her royalty statement is going to have more red than the floor of an ER. I believe both my books did better than that in their first week, and I didn't have to relentlessly sext RFK Jr. to get there.

The Trump administration is literally the nanny state that conservatives spent decades complaining about. They want to tell you what you should wear on a flight, how many cookies you should eat, who you can watch on late night TV, etc. No Democrat has ever been this much of a busybody fussbudget.

Anyone with a loved one who's had advanced cognitive issues is very familiar with this kind of irrational anger greeting gentle pushback or a reminder that they'd already said something they just said again.

He can't remember things he said or did a few days ago, which seems like a problem for a world leader.

The GOP healthcare plan is an endless game of Who's on First: We have a healthcare plan and it's great and you'll love it. What is it? It's great. But what is it? It's a great plan. What's the plan? Great. What's in the plan? Things you'll love that are great. What things? Great things.

Trump has three years left, but the battle to be his spiritual successor is already raging.

In 2030, all content will be made by one company called KOMPANY. It will make nothing but 12-second videos of animals pooping, designed to be played in the background while you scroll your phone. It will cost $100 per month, and will secretly be run by the John Birch Society.

The inevitable timeline of Netflix buying WB is that everyone will claim they'll retain their own branding and niches, then in a year they'll combine all their content under a stupid name like Nuxly or Warnflix, then they'll split up again, then Disney will buy the entire thing.

They are malevolently evil, but they are also galactically stupid.

Trump is now routinely falling asleep during meetings and events. Someone is either mismanaging his schedule, or mismanaging his medical care.

So the J6 bombing suspect is none of the people whose names have been circulating for years.

But my #1 song came out this year! Wha happen??

They need to get him to 1/20/2027 so JD Vance doesn't run as an instant lame duck. And I genuinely don't know if they can get him across the finish line.

Trump working especially hard today...to hide his right hand from the cameras.

Why do Trump's supporters shrug off his falling asleep during meetings? Because they've convinced themselves that "Trump never sleeps." They think he works 20 hours a day and has limitless energy. It seems he does not, but reality doesn't intrude on their sycophantic worship.

A level of obnoxious praise that would make Jim Jones uncomfortable.

Dude's falling asleep while his ministers lavish him with praise for his energy and work ethic. "Surreal" doesn't even begin to describe it.

A member of the National Guard was shot dead last week. Trump has talked about her multiple times. Does he not remember?

"I don't know but it was perfect" is not the most comforting answer to "why did you get an MRI."

Trump's finish line is 1/20/27. If he makes it that far, they can push him out and ensure two full terms for Vance. They have no reason to keep this going any longer than that. Can he make it 14 months? I'm honestly not sure.

Stolen election conspiracy theories absolve the loser of having run a poor campaign or being unpopular. Whether it's the right saying Biden stole 2020, or the left saying Trump stole 2016 and 2024, the purpose is absolution through scapegoating. And it means never having to look inward.

This has been the hardest and most exhausting year of my life. But despite all of the sorrow and uncertainty, I'm thankful for the support and good wishes of my friends here. You all mean the world to me.

There will be a flood of conspiracy theories from both sides about what the DC National Guard shooting "really" was. Except nobody knows exactly what happened or if anyone died, and there are no details about the shooter. Sometimes the proper response is not to respond for a while.
