Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 08, 2025

President Donald Trump posted a meme on social media Saturday saying that Chicago "will find out why it's called the Department of WAR," as the city's officials brace for an immigration crackdown. "I love the smell of deportations in the morning ... Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," the post reads. Trump signed an executive order Friday to rebrand the Pentagon as the "Department of War."

One month after sending the National Guard into Washington, D.C., President Trump is so pleased with the results that he is discussing how to put federal troops onto the streets of cities across the country -- from Chicago to New Orleans. Listen to "The Daily."

#1: G'morning, Doc Sarvis. Dummkopf Trumpf is most analogous to Il Duce over the other authoritarian despots. Both bombastic and flirtatious with women, the two buffoons choose soft military targets for (hopefully) easy wins to enjoy pomp, grandeur, and glory. For Benito Mussolini, the Mediterranean Sea was Mare Nostrum, for Trumpf, the Western hemisphere is America's colonial playground, a la the Monroe Doctrine and the long forgotten Confederate Knights of the Golden Circle: i.redd.it

Morning, Coriolanus ...
The Golden Circle sure brings back some grad school memories of the filibusters, the filibusteros), aka piratas norteamericanos. James Walker, who ended up in front of a firing squad, is the best known of these historical footnotes. Although Henry Crabb getting his head pickled in an olla of mezcal certainly was a highlight. And, on point, your Mussolini comparison seems most apt. Ridiculous, farcical, asinine, and very dangerous. But only because Mussolini was and Trump is surrounded by people totally lacking an ethical core.

#3: Good memory, Doc. We would like to see some heads in wine barrels today, wouldn't we?

Endnote on the two bombasts, Doc. Both dictators are/were not antisemitic, but certainly racist, both have/had excellent secret services, and both use/used exile and imprisonment as their tools of suppression. "Until the outbreak of war in 1940, a total of nine executions were carried out in fascist Italy, allegedly not for political offenses, followed by another 17 until Italy's surrender in July 1943 (compared to almost 80,000 legal executions in Nazi Germany, including courts martial)."

On policy, he's a mixed bag. Totally secured the southern border. At the end of his first term the Abraham Accords. At the beginning of his second term brokered two peace deals. Improved our trade situation with allies. Seems to have cajoled our NATO allies into increasing their own defense budgets - something W and Obama whined about but never seriously pursued.

On the flip-side, DOGE was a good concept but was carried out so haphazardly that I find it difficult to find a positive side of the ledger.

The tariffs have, due to their unpredictability have created all sorts of market fluctuations. And then stupid random stuff like 'ban firearms for transgenders' and other EO's that are clearly unconstitutional.

I can cite other positives and negatives...

Blacks are still disproportionately arrested for weed related offenses in California. If YOU actually cared you would actually already know that. But YOU obviously don't care. Because you don't even care about the racial discrimination going on in your own back yard. Weed (less harmful than alcohol or tobacco) is still illegal in the backwards state of North Carolina.

According to the 2013 ACLU report, Hoke County, North Carolina, had the largest racial disparity in marijuana arrests, with Black residents being arrested at nearly 10 times the rate of white residents.


Fifty years of a "War in Drugs" with its built in systematic racial discrimination of blacks is a difficult thing to unwind from society.

At least WE are working on it.

The sad fact is this country is so racist that we don't get to vote on that.

It's crazy how you can see Kamala's work as a prosecutor and say what it shows us is that Kamala is racist, not that the system as designed is racist.

This is why nobody takes you seriously. Because you can't have that conversation.

You can't talk about the big undercurrents in society like the systemic racism that is still evident all around us today. You're all wrapped up in checking up girls skirts for a penis, and to what end?

Boaz, you could get everything you wanted on Trans issues, from sending them to camps to banning adults from transitioning -- whatever.

Nothing you ever get by crushing the trans rights movement will create jobs, grow the middle class, improve education, reduce the debt, secure the borders, nothing.

It's a complete distraction of an issue and you've had your head up it's ass for so long that it's come to define you.

Every trans person could magically transition right now and nothing fundamental would change. You wouldn't have a group of people to systemically oppress, but you'd soon find another; probably the gays.

You can't address issues like racism too well either. A few years ago it was blacks need to solve black community problems for themselves and whites should keep out of it. Now it's progressive women have sabotaged the black family unit. But you haven't said a word about Trump mass firings disproportionately affecting black women because you're either so ignorant you don't know about it, it if you do you simply call it a hoax and move on.

Tens of thousands of black women getting fired by the President matters.

But you're still talking about women with penises, like that could possibly matter more than the deliberate economic destruction of the black family as a matter of public policy and one that you voted for no less.

Maybe the reason you're talking about trans issues all the time is it's the only one where you don't normally feel like you turned out to be wrong. That and wherever a crime is committed, you're the first to check of the perp is an immigrant, just the same way it's important to know all of George Floyd's priors means that garbage shouldn't have been on the streets on the first place, one by never being allowed in, the other by never being allowed out of jail. You fo to immigrants what racists to do black suspects, because you're a racist.

So if you can't stop thinking about other people's --------, call the Veteran Crisis Line, because you are very severely mentally ill and need to speak with a professional about what you're experiencing.
