At 9:36 this morning, the President of the United States was briefly seen leaving the White House as his vehicle raced by, en route to an undisclosed location. Thirty-four minutes later, at 10:10 a.m., the mystery was solved as his motorcade pulled into Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. The next time he was seen by the press pool wasn’t until 3:20 that afternoon, as he made his way back to the White House.
Late that evening, after the press were released and most of the White House staff had gone home for the night, Donald Trump was still awake, posting on social media. Before finally calling it a night, he shared three final posts. None of them were something any leader of any country should be posting, let alone the President of the United States. In less than two minutes, he posted three times, two posts celebrating bombs dropping in the Middle East, and one post, seconds later, a video of himself golfing.
There’s a classic English proverb: "He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon" Now this dates back at least to the 14th century and appears in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Squire's Tale as well as Shakespeare's plays.
It’s been modernized to -
“You cannot invite the devil to dinner and get mad when he overstays his welcome"
So the White House Correspondents Dinner invited who to a dinner? Maybe really rethink this event through … Journalist’s thinking the rules are not changing, the goal posts moving continually. Who in the MSM has stood up to him when he called any female journalist “Piggy” or him telling a journalist to “Be Quiet”? Hear the sound of crickets.. The MSM gave him money versus going to court and fighting..
What you tolerate today, you accept tomorrow. What you then accept today, you embrace tomorrow. — The free press has embraced what they shouldn’t have tolerated from Day 1.
Adolf Hitler eliminated the free press with astonishing speed. just four weeks after Hitler became chancellor, the regime issued the Reichstag Fire Decree. By March 9, 1933, the last major opposition newspapers, such as the Munich Post, were permanently banned. Paramilitaries raided their offices, destroyed printing presses, and sent editors to early concentration camps. — “Less than One Month”
Benito Mussolini took a more gradual, bureaucratic approach to entrenching his power. After the March on Rome in October 1922, opposition newspapers initially continued to publish, though they faced frequent physical attacks and intimidation by Fascist squads (Blackshirts). By July 1925, Mussolini introduced sweeping new laws that formally outlawed anti-fascist publications and required all articles to be pre-approved by the government.
In December 1925, the regime passed a law forcing all practicing journalists to register officially with the Fascist Party, completing the total co-optation of the press exactly three years after taking office. — “Total Three Years”
Feel free to read how Mussolini repressed Jews in Italy, political opposition, to repress anti-fascism (Antifa), implement censorship, loss of privacy (Flock cameras), etc. may sound very familiar to our current times.
The weight of changing anything is on each of our shoulders. We are tired, dog tired in fact we are probably tired of being tired. Know I am. Yet, we all do what we need to do to move forward.
Have said it’s going to be a bumpy road, it’s going to get bumpier because while those Congressional people have been on vacation.
The House of Representatives has been on recess for about 5.5 weeks, since July 24, 2026.
The Senate has been away for roughly 3.5 weeks, since August 7, 2026.
Want to start a list as to what Mango Mussolini has done in 3.5 to 5.5 weeks?
AI has just given me, at my request, a complete step-by-step method to use my Samsung Android total system connectivity to get rid of Google. They recommend HERE WeGo (excellent offline maps) or Organic Maps(OpenStreetMaps-based)
Dear Heather, I admire your willingness to document your thoughts and opinions for us to read, contemplate and act. It is courageous. Thank you.
Dear readers, While you are at it with your resistance and whatever you are choosing to do, please go into Google Maps and register a complaint: Ask that Lake Ontario be the name on that Great Lake. Google did not need to make this change. The world did not make this change. Only Americans will be fed a different name by Google. They caved to “satisfy” a depraved petty individual. They went along to go along. Google needs to hear that this is unacceptable. We will not go along.
I simply deleted Google Maps app. Everyone could. Then they might relent. As Gandhi said “Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state is lawless or corrupt.” That applies too to the corporate overlords who support the autocratic dictators. Gandhi understood this when he called for linens boycott. Hit them where it hurts. Don’t support any enterprise that supports autocrats. Resist and refuse. Just delete Google Maps. The true name Lake Ontario will prevail and maybe we can bring the overlords to their knees by simply voting with our feet. We are many and they but a few. They need us more than we need them. Truly.
Another great column...I guess Kristin learned a hard lesson...let it be a lesson for all journalists...no one is safe from Trump...no matter how supportive any journalist has been, he will turn on them in a hot New York minute! Kudos and Bravo to ALL the brave journalists who continue to speak out! I wholeheartedly support them!

Heather your writing is fantastic, thoughtful, clear and well documented. I became a subscriber today, and will continue to share your work. Thank you from a Canadian reader 🇨🇦
Trump was put into office by the technofascists who put him there to deliberately break America by design. He is a cornered psychopath whose behavior will only escalate and get worse. If the Trump Regime succeeds in destroying democracy, the fascists will reduce the U.S. population by 1/3 and 100 million Americans will be rooted out of the country or worse. Perhaps a Blue Wave will somehow succeed against the voting irregularities the Republican party will, (and have already), embarked upon. Perhaps a deliberately weakened national security apparatus will be able to defend against a foreign terrorist or even black flag attack designed as a prelude to the declaration of martial law. Now is the time to keep our foot on the gas to resist the Trump Regime in every safe way we can. The current crisis we are in will only escalate as we proceed to the midterms. Be strong my fellow patriots as the future of our democracy depends upon our courage and conviction. It is a privilege to join you on Heather's substack. She is helping to show us the way to save America for All of us.
Watch out, America!! No matter what results the elections bring, tr*mp will not give up power. All his sycophant supporters, allies, backers will not. They have all invested too much, they have too much unearned power and money, to be ready to lose.
It doesn't matter whether the excuse is illegal voting, national emergency, fake news, etc, etc, an excuse will be found for the regime to declare whatever it likes, tighten their control and continue to plunder and ruin the world until 2028 and probably longer.
Look at what is happening within your country and beyond - robbing Venezuela of its resources is just the start - it will continue.
How do you change this bleak picture? I'm looking from the, for now, relative safety of your friendly neighbors, Canada. I wish I had a decent suggestion. I haven't. It's in your hands.
The view from the UK is much the same - watching this nightmare is as painful as losing a friend to cancer. That’s what the Trump regime seems like - a malignant tumour that needs to be removed to save the lives of every sane American.
I just hope the Democrats can find legal routes to ensuring Trump’s corrupt administration cannot challenge the vote in November. If they can’t WIN the elections then God Help America!
I thought the exact same thing! Who invited him? I know it was wishful thinking, but I wish that when tRump got to the podium to speak, everyone in the room would have stood up and faced the opposite direction so their backs were all to him. It would have been a simple yet powerful message and I KNOW it would have really pissed off and humiliated tRump! I would have loved to see his reaction!
You know how he'll say the meanest, most disrespectful things to the press? When he says something to a reporter, like "you're a horrible person and you're really bad at your job", I wish the reporter would say, "no, Mr. President, that's you! You're a horrible person and really bad at YOUR job!!"
The most horrible and mortifying things I've seen is when he had the young lifeguard and the child he had saved from drowning, in the oval office. When a reporter asked a question tRump didn't like, he would try to get the children to agree out loud and try to put words in their mouth that would agree with tRump! The greatest thing was neither child said anything! Such mature and astonishing behavior from both children! It showed that tRump was totally the opposite and he's freaking 80 AND the POTUS!
Sorry, I got carried away. I just despise that POS and what he's doing to our country and our allies.
Thank you Heather…always writing the truth and pushing for people to support other truthful writers. I know I’m a true fan of you and admire you and your family for doing what you’re doing at a very high risk. My admiration of you is not just your excellent writing, but you are always pushing people to put their support behind fellow writers…so admirable.
People do need to realize that in this Nazi, fascist, eugenics, sociopathic regime…you are only useful, until you are NOT.
We are in for more aggression and hurdles as they get backed into a corner, they become more dangerous and violent.
ICE Gestapo with tons of money and fully armed with guns, tasers, pepper spray, and now potentially deadly shock gloves. Many RepubliKKKans are requesting ICE at the Polls…which is illegal, however, they are talking about people plain clothed to show up for the intimidation by flashing their badges.
There is literally NO Bottom or anything they won’t do.
We have to VOTE Blue and be prepared for what will happen from now and after the vote.
Thank you Heather.

— VOTE
VOTE - Because our lives are literally on the line.
Let’s not argue over corporate Democrats or progressive Democrats. Just vote AGAINST any candidate with an R next to their name
Lynn have no argument over whatever kind of Democrat it is or an Independent…
Xi jinping the communist ruler in China regularly “disappears “ his dissenters.
The latest was his top military general and his best friend from school days.
No one is safe from a dictator.
Not only is Pete Hegseth packing the white house with Fawning military men but he also thinks he could stand for president in 2028
Trump needs to go but 100% but so does completely incompetent Pete and his new bodyguard !
All of this administration needs to be purged ASAP
Attacking people who are telling the truth is a sign of weakness, not strength.
He’s losing steam..they know it..he’s getting backed into the corner..that’s when he strikes.
The press could get the upper hand if all the networks will fight back like ABC is doing.
The FCC can’t stop them all ..that takes time and long law suits will follow. They DON’T HAVE THE TIME.
The media should double down now..start hitting him from all angles..spin his head every way.
BOMBARD him like his fake cartoon hits with the ONLY weapons that matter that they have in their arsenal…the TRUTH..the FACTS .
Hit hard and often…demand response.
Email the networks..email the journalists..tell them what we MUST hear from them..that they speak truth to power NOW.
We need action from them not cowardice or fear of reprisals..things will be much worse if they do nothing but buckle under his threats…CHALLENGE him.
Tell them that….let them know what we want ..need..from them.
Our vote is our voice …we also have a key pad.
And when they don’t answer the question, press them until they give a real answer
Exactly! Their job is not to be loved
. it's to bring the TRUTH to the PEOPLE...they have to hunker down and do their job.

At issue is a Major priority for implementing strategic improvements: “drive out fear in the workplace.”

In 9 weeks we vote to take our country back! It can’t come soon enough. Then ideally our legal system will imprison Donald Trump. It can happen!
I won’t get my hopes up. He has been held to no account at all so far
I'll never understand why the press attended (hosted?) the dinner. Seemed counterproductive to me.
Or invited tRump, who has done nothing but denigrate journalists
I thought the exact same thing! Who invited him? I know it was wishful thinking, but I wish that when tRump got to the podium to speak, everyone in the room would have stood up and faced the opposite direction so their backs were all to him.
