MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN VOTERS. MAYBE YA MIGHTWANT TO RECONSIDER YOUR SUPPORT BEFORE YOUR VOTE FOR A TRUMPER FOR GOVERNOR! NOTICE THAT NO REPUBLICANS SPEAK OUT! SILENCE ALWAYS! Saturday Updates: Trump Gets Booed in Dublin While Iran Gets the Red Carpet in New Delhi – 9/12/26Your quick Saturday rundown.
It’s September 12, 2026. I’ll be stepping in for today’s written recap of all the news, and I’ll do my best to keep it quick so you can catch up and go on with your day. Also, Shana Tova to everyone celebrating! Here’s what we’re tracking right now:
Paid subscribers can watch Ben’s video report on today’s latest updates ad-free here:  Now lets get into it. Trump’s Brutal Welcome In IrelandTrump landed in Ireland, officially for meetings with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, but let’s be honest, the real reason he’s there is the Irish Open at his golf course. The folks in Dublin didn’t seem too pleased about his arrival:
They didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet for the guy. Early reports say about 50K people hit the streets, carrying signs calling him a war criminal and accusing him of covering up the Epstein Files. The giant balloon caricatures floating above the crowd of Trump, Netanyahu, and Epstein made quite the splash.  Trump, despite being blocks away, of course claimed he hadn’t heard of any protests. WTF Was That Press Conference?Once Trump sat down with reporters, things got worse. He again said the Iran War would end “very soon, probably right after the midterms.” He was asked about the Saudi pipeline attack and said Iran was “probably” responsible. He absurdly claimed the Houthis called him personally to tell him how much they respect him and how they’ll let through U.S. ships peacefully. Houthi leadership responded almost immediately, with spokesman Hasan al-Assad calling Trump’s claims baseless and quoting an old proverb about kissing the hand you cannot break. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi also released footage mocking the Saudi royal family, implying they used to dance for Trump like his puppets. During the presser, Trump also again claimed that both Canada and Iran are now “begging” to make a deal. On Ireland, he said he’d love to see the island unified, breaking with decades of official U.S. neutrality on the issue. He suggested the UK might not have the resources to defend the Falkland Islands anymore (this while he’s quietly arming Argentina with Black Hawk helicopters). Trump continues to lash out at our (former?) allies for not jumping into his reckless and illegal war. And In New Delhi…While Trump was jeered in Dublin, Iran was getting treated like royalty at the BRICS summit in new Delhi. Iranian officials held direct talks with China’s foreign minister and Iran’s president was received with full honors alongside Xi Jinping, Putin, and Modi. BRICS leaders also announced a new payment system called BRICS Pay, aimed at reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar. Running From YemenSaudi-backed forces are in full retreat across Yemen. Satellite imagery has now confirmed the East-West pipeline was hit in multiple locations, and Houthi forces are closing in on Marib, with some analysts suggesting the city could fall within days. A regional source told CNN this is “a Saudi-American f**k up of epic proportions.” A Few Other ThingsTrump posted again about his $5,000 bribe, already blaming Democrats for saying it will never happen. The guy is a scam artist. A con man. News organizations should treat him accordingly. In Ohio, Republican Sen. Jon Husted’s campaign has now fired its political director after WaPo found photos of him posing with Nazi SS imagery and following Waffen-SS reenactment accounts online. Down in Austin, Sen. Ted Cruz was on ESPN for some reason at a College Gameday. He got brutally booed and the crowd broke out into “Ted Cruz sucks” chants live on television. That’s the rundown for now. Thanks everyone for reading. Again, Shana Tova to everyone celebrating the new year this weekend. Wishing everyone health, peace, and sweetness ahead.

JUST FEW OF MANY MANY COMMENTS: We were out in Dublin protesting him with gusto today ! Thanks for doing that! We anti-Trump Americans are exhausted after 2 years of his destruction. Any opportunity to shame him is greatly appreciated by all of us here. Watching him disrespect our allies breaks our hearts and brings us to tears! Thank you for being involved and speaking out! The INTERNATIONAL IMPAQCT OF MEIDAS IS IMPORTANT! The MAGA MAGGOTS and tRump pose a GLOBAL THREAT that Americans DO NOT SUPPORT! I always try to convey to Americans how much we hate him in Europe , I dream of ways where I can let him know to his face how much the world despises him ! I tell him off repeatedly throughout the day. If only I could get to say it in person! |
Agree with you, but instead of getting near that disgusting 💩 pants. Personally with all he's done here at home and around the world, my opinion he should swing in public.
Same !
Very well stated. I agree!
Completely agree with you 💙
Not to mention the agita, high blood pressure, and the all-pervasive frustration and rage!
As an American of 98% Irish ancestry, I thank you for your efforts!
You are so welcome !
Thank you! I love that the rest of the world dislikes him as much as a LOT of Americans do!!

Your gusto is brilliant! Bravo! Brava!
You are so welcome , thank you ! Solidarity to all anti fascists !
The Final Battle for America’s Democracy
His Royal Heinous indicates in private that he’s not concerned about the midterms. Could this be why?
From Judge Luttig
The Final Battle for America’s Democracy
Forget November 3. It’s January 3 when Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans might bury our democracy once and for all. Here’s how.
Donald Trump instigated a war against America’s democracy on January 6, 2021. He and his Republican allies would have crippled America’s democracy that day had his own vice president not refused to be party to the gravest constitutional offense a president can commit – the refusal to relinquish and peacefully transfer the power of the presidency to his duly-elected successor.
Today, almost six years later, Donald Trump and his Republican congressional allies are even more determined to prosecute the president’s war against American democracy to its catastrophic end than they were on January 6, 2021.
That catastrophic end could well come on January 3, 2027, when Trump and his Republican congressional allies wage the final battle in Trump’s determined war to corrupt America’s democracy and deliver a lasting political victory over the Democrats for his MAGA Republican Party.

From The Peaceful Solution:
Those of us in The Resistance must think beyond the midterms, about how to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of the country.
Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

Thank you for restacking, and sharing, to help Spread the Word!
Judge Luttig is an American hero. He speaks truth to power, including We the People. We must listen to him! Thanks for sharing this information with us.
... including when they lay his bloated carcass out at his funeral.
I'm so glad they are getting booed. He's a pest to the entire world. He deserves every bit of it. And more
And he has properties all over the world so it's past time those nations should launch investigations into the crimes he has committed in their countries. And there is no way he hasn't committed serious crimes everywhere he has been.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the other countries confiscated his properties? I bet if they look deeply enough they can find reasons to do so.
PLEASE DON'T ABANDON OR FORGET OUR ALLIES THAT tRUMP IGNORES!
Reading about America’s former allies and the way this administration speaks about loyalty hits me in a very personal place. I am an Afghan ally who was left behind even after so many promises from the U.S. government. I believed those promises. I believed that standing with America for years meant that America would not simply forget people like me when the situation became dangerous.
But I am still here, carrying the weight of those promises that were never kept.
government leaders can move from one country to another give speeches, make deals, hold press conferences, and then go home safely. People like me do not have that luxury. We live with the consequences of those decisions every single day. For an Afghan ally left behind, America forgot us is not just a political sentence. It is a painful reality.
to the current U.S. administration please remember that the Afghan allies you left behind are not numbers headlines or old paperwork. We are human beings. We had families, hopes, and faith in the promises made to us. Some of us stood beside America when it was dangerous to do so. We did not ask for special treatment. We only hoped that America would keep its word.
how could people who stood beside you for years be so easily left behind?
that question stays with me every day. And I hope one day the people making these decisions understand what it feels like to wait for help that was promised, while slowly realizing that the country you trusted may have moved on without you.
I am so sorry you and others have been treated this way! Sorry that you never received what was promised. Pleased know that there are so many of us that reject the decision made by the government especially now. Peace be unto you🙏🏽
On your behalf, as well as my own, I hate this Felon with every fiber of my being. He is so incredibly despicable. My thoughts and prayers (I hate using such a cliché) are with you and all the others who have been left behind. All I can say is, I hope the next administration will rectify this abomination.
I'm telling ya, when this evil asshole croaks, The Sucky 6 scotus NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR TREASON AND SUPPORTING THIS MINION OF satan
Yes, we all have to scream for that to actually happen.
Glad McConnell is dead, this is his fault too
I've neither seen or heard any reporting on Mitch
Is he really deceased?
Yes, he's dead. Absolutely no contact with anyone
All bullshit coming from gop. All blinds are down, closed at all his properties, and guards stand out side.
Of course he's dead.
The biggest on going scam....
That whole chapter of this American Horror Story shows just how fucking bankrupt morally the Guardian of Pedophiles party is. moscow mitch is dead and instead of being respectful to him, they LIE and cover up his demise...total lack of decency
Yes, it's outrageous what they get away with
Lies
Lies
Lies
Pedophiles, every single one of these inhumane things are.
Release their names, all the ones from the make believe convention no one went to, but still crashed Grindr looking for children.....
We want those names to make headlines....
Is McConnell dead? They claim he's going to be resurrected in the Chamber on Monday!
The news organizations should ignore trump. Treat him like a non- entity. Deny him the attention he craves- ALL AROUND THE WORLD. ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE US. NO MORE NEWS COVERAGE. Let him lie into the wind!!
Interesting what I'm about to say good job about..good job Ireland for your protests...trump IS a war criminal and you have the courage to say it! Good job folks meeting in New Delhi and coming up with the BRICS Pay...not good for America but sensible for the rest of the world to move away from anything American except our willingness to buy things from you we may not need on credit we cannot afford. And great job Austin..I am pretty sure booing comes under the First Amendment which of course cruz and the entire GOP are trying to overturn, so great job using it while you can. If the GOP has it's way booing will soon be civil disobedience. I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be saying good job about these things as they are all sort of rather negative things, but that's where we are. I have for most of my life said good job to honest journalists who reported the truth (used to send actual letters to 60 Minutes after extra good stories) and I continue to say that...great job MTN. And as always, now is the time we need to be working extra hard...please don't let anyone fall into the trap of thinking since virtually all the polls say dems will at least take back the House that they don't need to work really hard anymore. We have to win so big there can be no questions, and perhaps equally important we need to welcome everyone onto our side (as long as they are honest and not fettermans). I am not sure but it may be that if just the Dems voted in big numbers that would win a lot of races but we need to let everyone except the 1%ers know that we welcome them, we have a plan (and share the actual plan, don't just say we have a plan or a concept with no specifics like the GOP has been doing for years) that will improve their lives. We need to let everyone know we will win elections because we have concrete workable plans to get things done, not because we have to cheat or bribe. So let's all get out there and do something, no matter how small you might think an action is it all adds up!
Thank you for this valuable post. We have to not just win, but Win by large margins that can't be disputed. We need healthy majorities in both Houses to begin the work of righting the wrongs.
Sounds like a lot of Texans don't like Ted Cruz. How is it that he keeps getting elected??
How about pushing for a VETREPRENEUR program as 900 BLACK, and FEMALE sailors along with their dependents kicked out of BASE HOUSING by HEGSETH under the TRUMP orders, Date expected 10 October 2026. This is the REPUBLICAN thank you frothier service on the longest deployment. Veterans vote and work the elections; HOW ABOUT YOU! vote info.net site
PLEASE KEEP POSTING THIS!
SHARED ON A BLOG!
THIS NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED!
My father grew up in Belfast during WWII. The British government evacuated schoolchildren to the countryside, where they were safer from bombs, as Belfast was a strategic target. They moved the children regardless of religion.
George Mitchell, former senator (D-Maine), was the architect of the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to all of Ireland.
Thank you! Not many remember what GEORGE MITCHELL accomplished!
We took my parents to England during this period. They had never been out of the U.S.
It turned out that it was right after the bombing of VICTORIA STATION!
You just cant make this shit up!!!!!!! Orange Pedo Protector is out of control, looks really unhealthy—YAH. Epstein Epstein Epstein
IRISH TAXPAYERS STUCK WITH €20 MILLION BILL FOR TRUMP'S GOLFING HOLIDAY
The €20 million cost of Donald Trump's trip to play golf in County Clare means it will probably be the 'highest cost for any sporting event in Irish history', the General Secretary of the Irish Trades Union Congress has said.
#IrishOpen
Happy New Year, Brett! … In this world no place is safe from Trump. Not even Ireland it seems.
"He that is of the opinion that money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money." - Irish proverb
I am a firm believer in electing SMART PEOPLE!
I went through periods of insomnia and would listen to CSPAN which always had in-depth interviews that provided impressive information.
As you know, MUSLIMS place a high emphasis on education.
They know that the DULLES BROTHERS overthrew the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED MOSSADAGH in order to protect the BRITISH CASH COW: BP and imposed the BRUTAL SHAH.
They know that POPPY BUSH armed IRAQ and IRAN to fight each other, armed each with WMD (WMD for IRAN smuggled through ISRAEL).
GEORGE MITCHELL:
Interesting history!
excerpt:
After retiring from the Senate, Mitchell played a leading role in negotiations for peace in Northern Ireland and the Middle East. He was appointed United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland (1995–2001) by President Clinton and as United States Special Envoy for Middle East Peace (2009–2011) by President Barack Obama.
Mitchell was a primary architect of the 1996 Mitchell Principles and the 1998 Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, and was the main investigator in two "Mitchell Reports": one on the Arab–Israeli conflict (2001); and one on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball (2007).
