Trump’s ballroom and Jan 6 payoff fund are suddenly unfunded. So iPINIONS thinks the obvious move is to make Elon Musk pay.

Trump is using the DOJ to persecute political enemies through investigations, humiliation, and crushing legal costs. Yet Democratic billionaires, who owe their fortunes to democracy and the rule of law, refuse to fund the legal defense machine needed to stop him. Worse, iPINIONS contends, is that Trump is pushing a so-called anti-weaponization fund that could… Read more.
Trump’s Cabinet meetings have become televised loyalty pageants, with members competing to praise him like courtiers before a tin-pot Caesar. They tell themselves the groveling is performative schtick to own the libs. But repetition is corrosive. iPINIONS contends that what begins as a story to survive humiliation hardens into truth. Lincoln assembled a Team of… Read more.
Memorial Day is supposed to honor the dead, not kick off a weekend of sales, selfies, and slogans. This year, the contrast is even more obscene.

Republicans aren’t just redrawing congressional districts. They’re drawing new political realities.

Sergey Brin and other tech billionaires made fortunes in blue California, then fled to red Florida to dodge a proposed wealth tax. iPINIONS calls it what it is: greedy tax-dodging by billionaires who resent paying back the state that helped make them rich.

Read my… Read more.
Laura Loomer’s $150 million lawsuit against Bill Maher was supposed to defend her reputation. Instead, it exposed the joke at the heart of her own case. She ignored far more explicit claims from social media influencers and sued Maher, the celebrity defendant likeliest to deliver headlines, clicks, and attention. iPINIONS argues that Loomer was not… Read more.
Trump putting his face on coins is not some harmless vanity stunt. It is one more sign of a man aping Caesar, glorifying himself, and testing how far Americans will let imperial delusion go. iPINIONS traces the parallels from dictator-for-life posturing to gilded monuments to self.

Trump’s 2026 State of the Union wasn’t a report on the nation; it was a performance. A firehose of lies, stolen slogans, broken promises, and authoritarian threats delivered as if courts, laws, and facts exist only to serve him. From tariffs that punish allies to phantom checks that never came, this was not leadership. It… Read more.
