Watching Mark Levin on Fox tonight.
The biggest charlatan on tv has really gone off the rails.
Blaming the war in Iran right now on Obama.
Telling us that the wars in Korea and Vietnam were good wars and justifiable because they were based on stopping communism.
Iraq and Afghanistan were based on justifiable reasons.
And now this war is much more justifiable than all those other wars. Iran was on the verge of having a nuclear bomb thanks to President Obama and the only reason that won't happen is thanks to Donald Trump!
According to him, all the Ds against the war are anti American and for Iran. That Donald Trump is the most brilliant strategist in our country's history!
Every American should be supporting Donald Trump in this war right now or they ane for Iran. Not supporting Trump is treason. Any time that America goes to war, it's our obligation to support our president as patriotic Americans.
His guest tonight insisting this is the greatest war and biggest victory in American history since the American Revolution.
Seriously, he just said that and they went to a commercial break.
Back from the commercial: Donald Trump is saving many millions of American lives by doing this.
History will reward Donald Trump for his courage right now.
I've commented on this toxic, messenger of lies and hate and mega and MAGA charlatan before!
The saddest part is that he has over 1 million(MAGA) people that tune in to have their intelligence stolen and actually believe it!

Levine and his guest tonight are completely making up the most insane nonsense/propaganda!!!
OMG! He's got Steven Miller on now!!!
Steven Miller: "All the people that crossed our borders during Biden's 4 years were sent here with the singular objective to rape, murder and kill Americans"
"It was intentional, it was willful and it was malicious"
"That's what President Trump is fighting against every single day"
+++++++++++++++++++
You can't make this stuff up??
Actually, that's exactly what Levin and his desperate guests are doing tonight as Trump's administration falls apart and these guys are completely losing their grip and spewing insanity
According to Steven: "Every person in Ice is a hero that's saving our country.
Democrats, instead of celebrating these heroes in our country are doing the opposite"
1 million+ people watching the Mark Levin show tonight to hear things they want to believe in JUST GOT MORE STUPID as they listened to an hour(including commercial time) of pure stupid and had their intelligence stolen by one of the high priests in the MAGA cult.
Mark Levin is ON THE SIDE OF EVIL and masking as the complete opposite of who he REALLY is.
I'll let you all in on the secret that Mark Levin uses to get people to watch him.
He wants MAGA people to think that everybody else has it all wrong about Donald Trump, who is NOT who he really is but is instead just too brilliant for people to really understand..........except for guys like Levin that supposedly really understand him and you need to tune into Mark Levin to get the interpretation right.
Levin, then makes up convincing propaganda, has on like minded people and choreographs his presentation (taking his glasses off at pre determined times to give viewers the impression that NOW, he's making a point that everybody needs to know).
This is broadcasting snake oil being sold for ratings and profits by Mark Levin and Fox.

The insatiable ego: why some people need constant flattery
So these individuals must continually look outward to know who they are. They need to see themselves reflected as great, admirable, brilliant, victorious, not because they genuinely believe these qualities reside within, but because they fear they do not. The mirror is not for preening; it is for survival.
Trump’s orbit reveals this pattern with almost clinical clarity. Aides who deliver praise are elevated. Those who offer truth are exiled. Advisors who flatter remain close; those who contradict are replaced. He constructs a world in which disagreement is treason and doubt is disloyalty. Only admiration feels safe. Only devotion feels tolerable. Only affirmation soothes the internal tremors.
For those who depend on flattery to prop up their self-worth, criticism is not merely unpleasant; it is existentially threatening. As noted before, praise is oxygen. Criticism is suffocation.
Over time, the leader becomes isolated inside a bubble of praise, precisely the condition that worsens the fragility at their core.
Again, Trump illustrates this structure with almost theatrical clarity. His firing patterns, midnight tirades, public feuds, impulsive purges, and explosive reactions to even the gentlest criticism reveal a psyche that experiences dissent not as democratic discourse but as a personal wound. Staff members routinely describe entering meetings prepared not with facts but with flattery, knowing that one misplaced comment could ignite hours of fury. Foreign leaders who discovered this dynamic exploited it; domestic rivals suffered beneath it.
In such environments, truth no longer functions as a shared standard; it becomes a provocation. Disagreement is interpreted not as a contribution but as betrayal. Correction feels like humiliation. Delay feels like defiance. Reality itself becomes negotiable. Those who tell inconvenient truths are dismissed as traitors; those who flatter are elevated as visionaries. Policy becomes indistinguishable from psychology. What the leader needs emotionally determines what the government attempts politically.
The consequences are far from abstract. Entire systems begin tiptoeing around one person’s fragility. Intelligence agencies soften their briefings. Legislators tend to mute criticism to avoid retribution. Diplomats recalibrate alliances around a leader’s vanity rather than strategic interest. Government becomes a mirror palace, calibrated to reflect only one person’s preferred image back to him. The irony is that leaders who demand constant praise believe they are projecting strength — yet everyone else can see that they are merely shielding weakness. Their power looks immense, but their emotional life is flimsy, breakable, desperate for applause. And because they cannot bear being ordinary, the country is forced to participate in a national performance designed to keep them feeling extraordinary.
This is the tragic nucleus of flattery-addicted leaders: people loudly performing invincibility while internally clinging to praise as if it were oxygen. They preside over a kingdom of mirrors — shimmering, reflective, and catastrophically fragile. And the public pays the price for the instability at the core, bearing the burden of governing around an ego that must be endlessly managed, appeased, and inflated. In the end, the nation bends more than the leader does, contorting itself around a single, unsteady psyche. And what begins as a personality disorder becomes a political disorder — one in which the country must continually shield its most powerful figure from the sharp edges of reality.

Netanyahu praises Trump's 'bold decision' to strike Iranian nuclear sites
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL4rmsJHX08
After watching that video, ask yourself how anything he said could be true if less than 9 months after it, Israel and the United States had to start a NEW war with Iran.
Bibi Netanyahu would make an excellent diabolical psychiatrist! He knows how Donald Trump's mind works and is using it ……exploiting it to the MAX to accomplish his own agenda in Iran.
++++++++++++++
Continuing from the article:
Flattery addiction is, in the end, both tragically human and painfully absurd. Tragic, because it reveals a psyche so precarious that it cannot stand without constant propping. Absurd, because the props must be rebuilt every day, like a stage set that collapses each night and must be reassembled before the curtain rises again. The flattery-addicted person must be inflated endlessly because they cannot tolerate being human-sized. Their emotional life becomes a loop: praise enters, but it never adheres. Approval is absorbed and immediately evaporates. The ego drinks but never hydrates. No amount of applause lasts until morning.
And the final irony, the one that turns this entire psychological structure from merely tragic to genuinely heartbreaking, is that those who need flattery the most intensely are the least capable of feeling loved. Love, unlike flattery, requires vulnerability. Love requires reciprocity, humility, the willingness to be seen without the armor of performance. Love demands an emotional nakedness that the flattery-addicted personality cannot risk. Praise reassures; love exposes. Praise stabilizes; love transforms. And transformation is precisely what they fear most.
Thus they remain trapped in a gilded psychological cage of their own making, surrounded by people but starving for connection, fed by applause but famished for affection. The world may see confidence, dominance, swagger, command. But beneath the spectacle lies a person who fears that without constant applause, they will collapse into the emptiness they have spent their entire lives trying not to feel.

Holy Cow!
I had no idea that Donald Trump was going to make this post on Truth Social to prove the points in this thread exactly!
President Donald Trump appeared to hint at his next move in the escalating Iran conflict by urging supporters to tune into Fox News’ Mark Levin.
“Watch Mark Levin interview of Brilliant Marc Thiessen tonight at 8:00 P.M., on FoxNews. Will discuss the importance of hitting Iran, HARD!!! President DJT,” the president posted on his Truth Social platform Saturday evening.
“What I’m trying to say is we are in good hands. No, not with All State,” Levin said. “But with President Trump, because he’s a man with enormous intelligence, enormous common sense.”
Hey Mike,
I don’t at all like Levin as I very rarely agree with him. Among other things he’s a warmonger and he yells a lot. Despite that, you calling him downright “evil” is opinion/subjective imho rather than a fact. Hitler was evil. Bibi is evil in my eyes although not to the degree of Hitler. The Iranian Mullahs are clearly evil to me. Cold blooded murderers are evil. But Levin? I don’t know about going that far as it seems to cheapen the word “evil”. We may just have to agree to disagree on that.
Thanks, Larry!
For sure I get your great point, which makes great sense and can gladly adjust the language to accommodate both of us.
Mark Levin is on THE SIDE OF evil.
Is that better for you? And I agree with your assessment. The level of evil in Mark Levin is minuscule compared to REAL evil.
Adolf Hitler, is the historically MOST evil person in the world of the last few centuries or longer, which is also why I try to completely avoid comparisons to him and Donald Trump or Netanyahu's evil because it lessens the profound scale of the Holocaust which stands so far above anything else that it would be like comparing Mt. Everest to some big hills used for skiing or sledding.
As a Jewish person, I think that you understand this better than anybody.
Hitler killed 100 times more Jews than the innocent Muslims that were killed in Gaza with absolutely NO rational justification(other than intense hatred for Jews). At least Netanyahu had an incident, Oct 7, 2023 and an EVIL group, Hamas to use to justify it.
I'm certain that you will agree with the word EVIL to describe Hamas.
Also agree with your assessment of the top leaders in Iran being EVIL and deserving to be killed.
Thanks, Mike!
Yeah, I think that’s better.
interestingly, neither of us memtioned Donald Trump, who is at the center of this when it comes to rating the scale of his evil or not evilness.
You should note that I almost never refer to him as evil.
Its clear from my dozens of psychological evaluations of Donald Trump that I feel the VAST majority of his character flaws are tied to his off the charts mental illness combined with his position of being the most powerful man in the world , who intentionally exploits that power to satisfy his overwhelming craving to be adulated and constantly flattered……..feeding the mental disease and causing it to progress, like heroin fixes are to a junkie.
There is, however a minimal amount of evil required to completely lack empathy for the people that you are hurting badly and even feel joy over it at times.
With somebody like Hitler, it’s hard to not recognize mental illness as a factor. However, hatred is NOT a mental disease. Same thing with Netanyahu on his scale of evil. Besides hatred, he’s a brilliant schemer and manipulator which adds to his level of conscious intent and knowledge that what he is doing is unacceptable.
This is the sort of discussion that entire books are written about with loads of comprehensive analysis.
Fascinating for sure!
Yeah, I’d include Hamas and other terrorists
Trump is just Trump, a category of his own! He’s a huge mess to say the least!
Here's another assessment on Donald Trump's thinking.
There is so much hate and vengeance with his mentality, along with total lack of empathy and harm to so many people(and ultimate selfishness), that as I think about it more now, I would dial up the evil element a great deal.
Again, this is not because I hate Donald Trump and want him to have this label to justify the hatred.
I contemplated more with an open mind this afternoon on his mentality and do feel strongly that Donald Trump is an evil man based on the observations of his behavior. The empirical data/evidence leads to this.

By metmike - March 29, 2026, 4:36 p.m.
I have come to greatly appreciate, in just the past few weeks of watching, that Fox News is actually one of the main driving forces in Donald Trumps unhinged, unserious, unstable and incoherent, constantly changing leadership as the most powerful man In the world who is stuck in a major war quagmire of his own doing.
Putin is demented with his objective of conquest for Russia. Netanyahu is demented with his conquest for Israel and hatred for Arabs. Also to save his own skin with looming, major corruption charges.
Neither of those men are puppets of other men or other country’s. Or servants to a tv station with millions of viewers that follow MAGA religion.
Donald Trump on the other hand is not just demented, He is extremely mentally ill on several levels. The one that got the United States into this war is his need for constant over the top praise that he constantly risks everything for.
He traded the US military to get adulation from Bibi Netanyahu, which was like a heroin addicts need for their drug. We already knew that with certainty, with June 2025s sudden unprovoked attack on Iran in the middle of his successful peace negotiations in order to please Netanyahu being the quintessential example of it.
However, watching Fox much more since the war started has revealed an especially scary dynamic.
Fox News has actually been calling many of the shots of this war.
We knew that President Trump watches Fox News all the time and hired 23 Fox news people to key positions……seriously that happened, including Pete Hegseth, his secretary of WAR that was qualified by being a Fox News weekend anchor that praised Donald Trump. Seriously that’s how HegSeth got the job of leading our military with indisputable certainty.
however, since the war started, Fox has become extreme war mongers and especially Watters, Hannity and Levin are constantly adulating Donald Trump with the most insane over the top messages about how he’s the greatest, most courageous and brilliant president in history but it goes much farther than that.
They have been literally and constantly telling him on the air to stay in Iran until the job is done so that he can fulfill his greatness. And he has clearly used that at times to be his main message that contradicts his previous messages, telling us that this will be a brief war, even a brief incursion. He soooooo wants this to end ASAP so that oil can go back down and the stock market can go back up.
But then he watches Fox and they tie their messages of over the top flattery to control his galaxy sized ego and neurotic need for constant praise to him needing to stay as long as it takes TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT THE FOX ON AIR PERSONALITIES USING DONALD TRUMP AS A PUPPET, WANT ACCOMPLISHED.
They have many millions of viewers which multiply the adulation in the eyes of Donald Trump who needs adulation because of the pathological disease driving his thinking.
I watched this happen so many times before truly appreciating this, seemingly impossible dynamic happen over and over.
Last weekend, we saw the perfect example when Donald Trump tweeted on Truth Social for all his followers to watch Mark Levin at 8pm on Fox, where he and Levin will be discussing the war.
This is galactic insanity. The president of the United States is using a MAGA, broadcast TV station to decide on his war plan instead of experienced generals and military leaders that don’t have millions of viewers who watch, like Fox does. All of those viewers being MAGA cheerleaders that define the deranged, psychological lifeblood which feeds the mentally ill mind of Donald Trump.
There is no question in my mind about this being a key dynamic keeping us in this war for so long. Just watch Fox for yourself and witness it!
MAGA Fox News personalities are telling our President what to do and rewarding/manipulating him with positively reinforcing over the top, omnipotent, infallible, brilliant, courageous, unsurpassed presidential praising.
It’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever witnessed in broadcasting history and politics.
This is not speculation! I’m reporting my actual observation of it happening numerous times as an objective authentic fact/evidence as opposed to an opinion.
Not as indisputable as the law of gravity using physics but way up there on the confidence scale using the empirical observations of an objective ,independent scientist and critical thinking!!

The images that I post of Jesse Watters keep getting deleted!!! There are around 10 more to go.
It just happened for the 4th time.
Trump called in to Fox News this morning (as he often does) so they would broadcast his view to the captured brains watching Fox to find out what to think:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-wraps-donald-trump-interview-as-he-spirals-on-iran-war-mess/
Fox was, once again repeating the completely made up “Iran had 11 bombs ready to launch at Israel and we stopped them in the nick of time with this attack”.
Everybody but MAGA knows that all of their enriched uranium is buried deep under ground and they have NOT been developing their nuclear weapons program since June 2025.
Guess whose fault it is that the Strait of Hormuz is closed right now?
Obama‘s fault!!
Yep! Supposedly, the nuclear deal that Obama made with them a decade ago caused this.
Never mind that Trump cancelled that deal on May 8, 2018!!!!
Never mind that it’s been almost 8 years AFTER Trump cancelled the deal which had featured inspectors monitoring Irans uranium…..and replaced it with……nothing.
MAGA religion:
1. Having no deal and no inspections since Donald Trump cancelled the great Obama deal in his first term did not cause Iran to enrich uranium.
2. They enriched the uranium because of the historic deal, enacted in January 2016 by Obama(that Donald Trump cancelled) which prevented them from being able to enrich uranium……..caused them to enrich uranium.
You're not reading that wrong. That is actually one of the tenets being taught by Donald Trump in his MAGA religion.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
According to the MAGA cult/religion, this is what caused Iran to enrich uranium(and not Donald Trump cancelling this deal in May 2018)

Below: Nuclear deal with Obama that was signed by numerous countries and WAS WORKING extremely well to keep Iran from enriching uranium and developing nuclear weapons(until Donald Trump suddenly cancelled it and replaced it with...........NOTHING!!!)
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/node/328996
Before this agreement, Iran's breakout time -- or the time it would have taken for Iran to gather enough fissile material to build a weapon -- was only two to three months. Today, because of the Iran deal, it would take Iran 12 months or more. And with the unprecedented monitoring and access this deal puts in place, if Iran tries, we will know and sanctions will snap back into place.
Here's how we got to this point. Since October, Iran has:
Because Iran has completed these steps, the U.S. and international community can begin the next phase under the JCPOA, which means the U.S. will begin lifting its nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. However, a number of U.S. sanctions authorities and designations will continue to remain in place.

Then, Donald Trump, unexplainably did this in his first term:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_withdrawal_from_the_Iran_nuclear_deal
The United States announced its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), on 8 May 2018.[1][2][3][4] The JCPOA is an agreement on Iran's nuclear program reached in July 2015 by Iran and the P5+1 or the E3+3 and the European Union
"The withdrawal led Iran to take actions contrary to the deal, including stockpiling roughly 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. Amid negotiations on a potential nuclear deal, the US and Israel launched the 2026 Iran war, citing the Iranian nuclear threat as a rationale"
++++++++++++++
Fast forward to Donald Trump's 2nd term:
There is 1 person that wanted this war and this war absolutely benefits him and his agenda. Bibi Netanyahu!!
He used the most powerful man in the world, who he controls because Donald Trump has a diseased brain that needs adulation and praise like you and me need oxygen.

It's complete hogwash to claim that Iran was on the verge of having a nuclear bomb. Our own Intelligence Agency's comprehensive report in March of 2025 insisted that Iran was NOT developing it's nuclear weapons. Then again, earlier this month Tulsi Gabbards written testimony confirmed that just a month ago, Iran was NOT developing its nuclear weapons and they were monitoring it closely for any signs of that changing.

In addition, at the end of February, BEFORE the unprovoked attacks, Iran HAD AGREED to Donald Trump's demand for them to reduce their enriched uranium(that is buried deeply in the ground right now)

In addition, one excuse Donald Trump gave early for attacking was that he was convinced that Iran would attack us first, so he needed to beat them to it. That is made up.

Good one, Larry!!!
Just in, from CNN::
The US Navy just attacked an Iranian CARGO SHIP trying to pass thru the Straight (US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz). I guess that will add another $X to the open in crude tonight.
Fetterman was just on Fox telling viewers that anytime the US gets into a war, "the right thing to do is to support the United States" and repeating that over and over.
Right.
Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq all great wars and we should have just been cheerleaders for our side because that's "The right thing to do"

At least ALL of those wars were fought with coalitions of allies and authorization from Congress, along with presidents that didn't have diseased brains with progressive dementia.
Donald Trump lies about everything and even contradicts his previous lies with new lies to support an incoherent strategy.
The latest one dwells on how he saved the world from Iran's nuclear weapons that our own Intelligence department, testified under oath last month were NOT being developed at any level since last June. With the enriched uranium still buried deeply underground.

Shawn Hannity on Fox tonight insisted that it was the Obama nuclear deal that caused all of this . The only reason Iran enriched uranium was because President Obama's deal intentionally let them cheat. Obama filled a plane with tens of billions of dollars that he sent to Iran to fund their terrorist regime as part of the deal
Even if you knew nothing about the authentic facts, this doesn't even make sense! Only minds captured in a MAGA cult would believe insane whoppers like this.
Hannity claimed that he talked with a dozen credible people and every single one of them insisted that Donald Trump had no choice but to attack Iran because they were on the verge of having a nuclear bomb
