In the 1980s, Donald Trump used the pseudonym John Barron to contact the Washington Post, New York Times, and People Magazine. After the Supreme Court recently struck down Trump’s tariffs, a disgruntled John Barron called in to C-SPAN to whine about the decision. Funny thing is that John Barron sounds just like Donald Trump …
2/24/2026 Rep Thomas Massie has the House floor for five minutes, and he names names. He starts by pointing out that in Europe there have been charges and arrests based on revelations from the Epstein Files. The American DOJ has made no such charges or arrests. @1:48 He says Leon Black, Jess Staley, and Les Wexner should be investigated. @3:36 He states that Bayer, a German company, has control over all three branches of government…

Elaboration from AI:

The company mentioned by Representative Thomas Massie is the German conglomerate Bayer AG.

On February 24, 2026, Massie claimed that Bayer (the parent company of Monsanto) exerts undue influence over the federal government. His specific arguments regarding “control” over the branches of government include:

  • Executive Branch: Massie pointed out that key administration figures, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, previously worked for Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm that represents Bayer.
  • Legislative Branch: He criticized provisions in the Farm Bill that he described as “industry-written language” designed to grant chemical companies like Bayer blanket immunity from lawsuits related to products like glyphosate (Roundup).
  • Judicial Branch: Massie introduced the No Immunity for Glyphosate Act (H.R. 7601) to counter an executive order that he argued grants liability protections to manufacturers, effectively stripping Americans of their right to seek remedies in court. 

Massie’s claims center on the idea that Bayer’s lobbying efforts have successfully secured protections across different government sectors, particularly regarding legal liability for its herbicide products.

Also…

Representative Thomas Massie called for the investigation of Leon Black, Jess Staley, and Les Wexner based on unredacted information he viewed within the “Epstein Files”. 

Massie’s claims center on allegations that these individuals were identified in internal DOJ and FBI documents as potential co-conspirators or subjects of interest in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.

Specific Allegations Cited by Massie:
• Les Wexner (Founder of L Brands): Massie alleged that Wexner’s name was initially redacted from a DOJ document titled “Child Sex Trafficking” that listed him as a “co-conspirator”. He questioned why the FBI allegedly listed Wexner as a co-conspirator in internal files but later told him they had no questions for him. Wexner has denied all wrongdoing, stating he was “duped” by Epstein.
• Leon Black (Co-founder of Apollo Global Management): Massie pointed to documents describing sexual misconduct allegations against Black at Epstein’s New York residence. This includes claims that an unidentified woman was instructed to give Black a massage that led to sexual contact. Black’s legal team has stated there is “absolutely no truth” to these claims.
• Jess Staley (Former CEO of Barclays): Massie cited files reviewed by the DOJ detailing allegations that Staley raped a woman after forcing her to touch his genitals. Staley has denied the allegations.

Context of Massie’s Demands:
• Lack of Prosecution: Massie criticized the Department of Justice for failing to pursue arrests or further investigations despite the existence of over 3 million documents describing “horrible things”.
• Legislative Action: These claims follow the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Massie co-authored with Rep. Ro Khanna to force the disclosure of internal DOJ and FBI memos regarding the decision not to prosecute certain individuals.
• Accusations of a Cover-Up: Massie has accused the DOJ of “purposefully muddying the waters” and “hiding” key information through unnecessary redactions of high-profile names in the public releases…

2/24/2026 Austin Tucker Martin had been a Trump supporter, then he became quite upset by what was revealed in the Epstein Files. @0:48 TMZ obtained a text message sent by Tucker to a co-worker explaining his disgust with the Epstein scandal …
2/24/2026 The corrupt DOJ has scrubbed DJT’s name from the Epstein Files, and it can now be verified that they intentionally scrubbed a situation reported to the FBI in which he sexually assaulted a young girl and then smacked her after she fought back. This video shows the documents and redactions. It connects the dots in unmistakable deductive reasoning. Many members of Congress will boycott tonight’s State of the Union because Trump is a criminal pedophile who has protected and associated with other pedophile. He refuses to deal with the truth, and blatantly lies about multiple situations. His approval rating is shit, but he says it’s great. He got trounced in the 2020 election, but he says he won. Most Americans are disgusted by his handling of the economy and immigration, but he keeps giving himself pats on the back. Donald Trump is a pervert, and it’s way more than in a sexual way. He gets off on having captive audiences who must sit though his twisted bullshit. This happened when he called military leaders to see him and Hegseth speak at Quantico. Part of his perversion is to taunt the audience to leave. They’re given the choice of beratement or sacrificing their careers and pensions. In the process of beratement, there’s a system of co-opting whoever remains. He’ll often say, “Think about it…” He’ll follow this with an absurd lie. Hypothetically, he’ll say, “Think about it… I was the astronaut on Mars, I brought America out of the Great Depression, and I cured cancer!” If nobody laughs at the absurdity of his statements, if they don’t heckle him, or if they don’t walk out walk out in protest, he believes he won a battle in a larger propaganda war. The absurdity of his lies become the truth in minds. It doesn’t matter to a propagandist that they’re true in reality! That’s why he was so ticked off when he was called a pedophile protector at a Ford plant. Somebody in the captive audience finally protested and did something about it! Do windmills kill whales and cause cancer? No! And they’ll scoff at the idea the following day, but in the moment it would be refreshing if somebody yelled, “You’re a joke, and a retard!” Trump counts on the public pressure to get away with it, though. Tonight at the State of the Union, he won’t address the sexual assault claims made in the Epstein Files. He’s also going to rewrite history before people’s eyes. He will say he won the 2020 election, and Democrats are plotting to rig the 2026 midterms. He will try to discredit the media including the “failing New York Times” and “fake news CNN” and if he mentions horrible poll numbers, he will say they’re fraudulent. Countless times, he will invoke Joe Biden as being the reason anything is currently bad. He will rely on a docile audience to allow his lies to continue unchecked, then he will pretend later this means they agreed with him. We all know these things will happen which is why there is an organized protest for tonight’s State of the Union. Not all members of Congress will attend. There will be an alternative event. Keep in mind, the State of the Union did not always exist in its current form. It used to be a written statement delivered to Congress and read by clerks. Thomas Jefferson believed an in-person speech was too much like Britain’s “Speech from the Throne” so he started a new tradition which lasted more than a hundred years. Donald thinks of himself as a king. We all know it. He’s happiest when he spews lies a nobody objects. Tonight, people will finally object by not attending, and not sitting through the entire diatribe …
2/23/2026 There are multiple things wrong with Trump Logic. Some say it’s cruel, others say it’s retarded, while another group claims it’s a combination of both. Let’s take his war crimes against Venezuela, for example. Congress has the Constitutional power to declare wars. In emergency situations, the president is allowed limited discretion to use military force, but there are guidelines outlined in the War Powers Act. He must report to Congress within 48 hours, and the conflict can’t last longer than 60 days without a resolution. Trump authorized the murder of fishermen in the Caribbean on the pretense that they were smuggling fentanyl into the United States. This started in early September 2025, and it culminated in the kidnapping of president Nicolas Maduro in early January 2026. They never reported fentanyl, cocaine, or any other drug being seized. Instead, they confiscated multiple oil tankers! The point is that Trump’s enablers at Fox News and other places scoffed at the War Powers Act. It was just some bullshit piece of legislation without any consequence. Retard Trump Logic! Why? The Constitution clearly says Congress has the power to levy taxes and impose tariffs. Now, all of a sudden obscure legislation from decades ago matters to them! After the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs, Trump pivoted to the Trade Act of 1974, section 122! This legislation, like the War Powers Act, is meant for crisis and emergency situations. The bottom line is that Orange Clown is willy nilly. He’s like a delinquent child alone in a candy store. Does anybody really think Trump gave a shit about protesters killed in Iran? That’s absurd! The self-proclaimed “peace president” cares about fossil fuels! His plan was to steal Venezuela’s oil, and now he wants to steal Iran’s! That’s his objective, and that’s why naval activity is currently becoming more intense in the Persian Gulf …
2/23/2026 Austin Tucker Martin was killed by secret service agents at Mar a Lago. @1:01 “There appears to be a type. There appears to be a type that has repeatedly gone after Trump.” Martin was not a radical leftist. He was not transgender. He was not Antifa. He was not an illegal alien. He was more in the mold of Mathew Crooks and Ryan Routh. He was a white, conservative-looking, gun-owning male …

2/23/2026 The Downward Spiral of Elon Musk Continues. We’ve seen this movie before. Rudy Giuliani was “America’s Mayor” and was well-respected across the board. At some point, a fuse blows in his mind and he figures he’ll dedicate his energy to helping Criminal Trump’s nefarious causes. What happens? The World changes its view of him and sees him as a dunce, he gets entangled in huge legal problems, and inevitably winds up in financial ruin! Dr Steven Hassan studied Jim Jones and others, and he wrote The Cult Trump. It’s difficult to get across to Rudy Giuliani, Elon Musk, and others, “Hey man! You’ve got a good thing going! Don’t drink the Kool Aid! Everybody that attaches themselves to Trump winds up wrecked and thrown under the bus!” We all have a MAGA family member who’s in this cult, and they can’t see what they’re in the middle of! So the World now sees Elon Musk as a total dipshit when they once had respect for him! His Tesla car company keeps getting recalled, and it’s losing money! SpaceX rocket flights keep blowing up when re-entering the atmosphere! Foreign governments are investigating Grok for entering Cyber Epstein territory! And the latest scandal? Voter fraud! That’s right! Legacy Media wouldn’t touch it, but now the evidence is out in the open! Most Normies didn’t take Trump at his word when he said Musk knew a lot about computers, and his supporters would never have to vote again, but Never Trump Blog has been reporting about their fraud from the get go! @0:41 In this video, Josh Johnson talks to Chris Norlund about how Musk got busted cheating in Georgia …
2/23/2026 Criminal Trump keeps trying to wiggle his way into tariffs. He’s like a rotten child who goes into a kitchen to ask his mother if he could go outside to play. After she says no, he doesn’t accept the answer. He finds his father working on a project in the garage and asks if he can go outside to play. His father says no, so the brat child is now plotting to sneak out somehow. Trump has had more than a year to pitch his tariff idea to Congress, where Republicans have a majority. If Orange Clown was a patriot, and if he loved America, he would abide by the Constitution. If he believed in law and order, he would recognize Article I, Section 8 which states that the power to levy taxes and impose tariffs resides in the legislative branch. Donald Trump does not believe in law and order, though, and he showed it plainly on January 6, 2021. He does not respect the decisions of courts, even when they’re conservative and appointed by him! If Donald Trump was a patriot, he would respect Congress and the judicial branch …
2/22/2026 The Twilight Zone was a TV series about strange, strange stuff. It dealt aliens, time travel supernatural phenomena, and much more. People watched the show and were fascinated by its weird stuff, then they’d return to their ordinary humdrum lives. Now, years after the Twilight Zone stopped filming, we don’t need it to return. All we have to do is pay attention to the life of Donald Trump! We all know the Supreme Court just ruled his tariffs were illegal. @1:40 In this video, “John Barron” called in to C-SPAN to whine about the recent SCOTUS decision. Does anybody know what the J stands for in Donald J Trump? A lot of people might guess it stands for Jeffrey, but it actually stands for John. And Melania has a son. Does anyone know what his name is? Donald Trump used the pseudonyms John Barron and John Miller in the 1980s when he contacted the Washington Post, The New York Times, and People Magazine. Now, there’s another John Barron who phoned in to C-SPAN, and he sounds identical to Orange Clown! You can’t make this stuff up! Unless, of course, you’re using AI, but we can’t put this past Trump! His psyche is wrecked! His literal brain is suffering from atrophy! He’s on his last leg, and his ego is fighting to be taken seriously. The Twilight Zone was weird, but somehow this seems weirder …

2/22/2026 Trump Has Frontotemporal Dementia. Dr Adam James points out many signs. Separately, Dr John Gartner has made similar observations. What are the signs? Physical and motor-skill traits include wide-based gait, bruised hands, right leg swing, and difficulty with stairs. Linguistic and cognitive traits include phonemic paraphasia, confusion, disinhibition, and meandering and tangential speech. Behavioral traits include paranoia, apathy, and compulsive behavior. The World has already been well aware of Trump’s extreme narcissism, but frontotemporal dementia exacerbates the problem. Dr James points out that the brain’s frontal lobe experiences atrophy. It shrinks, in other words, and logic is diminished. The limbic system subsequently plays a larger role. “Quiet Piggy!” These types of outbursts become the norm. “Fuck you! You’re fired!” Trump said to an auto worker, then he flipped the worker off. With frontotemporal dementia, emotional tirades are accentuated. It also explains the weird way Trump leans forward when he stands. It explains the strange way he walked side to side on the red carpet in Alaska when he went to greet Vladimir Putin. Dr Adam James explains that the brain compensates for shrinkage by filling in mental gaps with lies. As Trump’s dementia gets worse, he believes his own lies. His thoughts start to confabulate. He thinks he’s great, somehow, and all of the polls say he is doing a terrible job. Remember when the hyenas start to fight each other in the Elephant Graveyard in the Lion King? The brawl gets quite intense, and it’s not quite clear who’s winning between Banzai and Ed until it’s over. Comically in the end, Ed is left gnawing on his own ankle! In his mind, he’s winning the fight! That’s what’s going on with Donald Trump right now! He started a fight with the World, and for a short period no one knew how it would turn out! It’s clear what has happened, though. The fight is over, and Trump is on the floor biting his cankles! He kept thinking that slapping tariffs every which way was penalizing foreign countries, and he didn’t understand that they don’t pay the tariffs. American consumers do. His wounds are self-inflicted, but he’s going to fight on because his brain is compromised, and his limbic system is now in complete control. He thinks he’s on his way to a big victory, but he’s deluded. The World is laughing at him as he chews on his own leg …
2/22/2026 Here’s a technical analysis of the tariff situation, and a broader analysis of macroeconomics in general including inflation and jobs numbers. Spoiler alert: Trump bankrupted eleven companies before coming into the White House, and his idiotic policies are wrecking everybody’s pocketbooks …
