Fmr Secret Service Agent Says Agency Whistleblowers Are ‘Raising the Alarms’ After Alleged Petition Circulates

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secret Service Agent Tim Miller stated Thursday on Fox News that agency whistleblowers are “raising alarms” after an alleged petition has circulated flagging concerns within the organization.

Miller appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the recent claims from Bloomberg News senior White House reporter Jessica Jacobs, who tweeted Thursday morning the alleged petition circulating within the U.S. Secret Service agency has “a number of recent Secret Service incidents indicative of inadequate training” and “potential insider threats.” Fox host asked Miller about his thoughts regarding the issue, to which Miller raised concerns of a potential issue.

“So Jesse, the defund the police boat has taken on water,” Miller said. “I think if you look, first it was the IRS then it’s the FBI. Now you have internal Secret Service agents that are raising the alarm and if you think about it, it’s pretty simple. They are concerned that our mission as the Secret Service agent is compromised.”

“That should cause everybody to go, ‘Well wait a minute, this is the premier protection agency in the world,’” he added. “I’ve been a Marine, I’ve been a police officer and when I went through that training it was challenging. Quite frankly if the internal agents are rising up and saying, ‘we have a problem’ — Houston, we have a problem.”

Watters continued to press Miller on a recent report of a Secret Service agent for Vice President Kamala Harris suffering an alleged medical incident, in which the agent allegedly fought with other detail agents.

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 100 illegal immigrants in Denver are refusing to leave a tent city unless the city meets their demands.

The illegals, residing in a camp near train tracks and under a bridge, have stipulated conditions under which they will agree to move into city-funded shelters.

Denver Human Services tried to transition the migrants from their makeshift dwellings to shelters that offer amenities, including three meals a day. The shelters are part of the city’s initiative to provide safer living conditions and remove people from the streets.

Ex-Trump Aide Becomes Third Female Witness to Praise Former Boss

/1 Comment/in , /by

A former White House Oval Office aide praised Donald Trump as a “really good boss” while testifying during the former president’s hush money trial in New York on Thursday.

Prosecutors called Madeleine Westerhout as a witness to testify about how detail-oriented Trump was and to confirm certain emails and meetings, but her testimony served largely as the third positive review to come from a female Trump employee on the stand.

Westerhout characterized Trump as hardworking, saying he talked to “a lot” of people every day and took calls from 6 a.m. until well into the evening, according to courtroom reports from CNN.

Westerhout highlighted how concerned Trump was with his wife Melania’s opinion. Defense attorneys have argued that Trump’s wife was one reason he was motivated to make a lawful hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, has alleged that Trump was driven by the election to conceal the payment and that he therefore violated election laws.

“There was really no one else that could put him in his place too,” Westerhout said of Melania Trump. “He was my boss, but she was definitely the one in charge. I just remember that … thinking that their relationship was really special. They laughed a lot when she came into the Oval Office.” (Read more from “Ex-Trump Aide Becomes Third Female Witness to Praise Former Boss” HERE)

Ex-Obama Strategist Warns of ‘Terrible Mistake’ That Could Cost Biden the White House

/1 Comment/in , /by

David Axelrod, a Democratic strategist who worked in former President Barack Obama’s administration, slammed President Joe Biden on his economic messaging in a CNN interview Wednesday.

Axelrod explained that Biden should be appealing to Americans who are concerned about the cost of living, rather than touting how strong the economy is. He says Biden “should lead with empathy,” or his “pride” could cost him the White House.

Axelrod was responding to a CNN interview with Biden in which he touted the economy and questioned the efficacy of polls that showed that Americans trusted former President Donald Trump on the economy than him.

“The polling data has been wrong all along,” Biden said. “You guys do a poll at CNN, how many folks do you have to call to get one response? The idea that we’re in a situation where things are so bad … when I started this administration, people were saying there’s going to be a collapse in the economy. We have the strongest economy in the world. Let me say that again: in the world.” (Read more from “Ex-Obama Strategist Warns of ‘Terrible Mistake’ That Could Cost Biden the White House” HERE)

Trump Civil Fraud Judge’s Talks With Attorney Under Investigation by Ethics Commission: Report (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct is investigating an alleged interaction between a New York real estate lawyer and the judge who issued a $454 million judgement against former President Donald Trump, according to NBC New York.

Real estate lawyer Adam Leitman Bailey said he had a conversation with Judge Arthur Engoron a few weeks before the judge’s decision was due, NBC New York reported. Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York sued Trump in September 2022, alleging he overstated the value of real estate holdings in order to obtain loans.

“I actually had the ability to speak to him three weeks ago,” Bailey said in the Feb. 16 interview, according to NBC New York. “I saw him in the corner [at the courthouse] and I told my client, ‘I need to go.’ And I walked over and we started talking … I wanted him to know what I think and why…I really want him to get it right.”

“No ex parte conversation concerning this matter occurred between Justice Engoron and Mr. Bailey or any other person. The decision Justice Engoron issued February 16 was his alone, was deeply considered, and was wholly uninfluenced by this individual,” a spokesman for Engoron told NBC New York.

RFK Jr. Says He’s Against Government Limits on Abortion

/1 Comment/in , /by

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he’s against government limits on abortion at the federal or state level, backing legal abortions through the entire gestational period while arguing the state should not play a role in determining abortion access.

In a podcast interview with Sage Steele that was released Wednesday, Kennedy said he doesn’t “trust government to have jurisdiction over people’s bodies” and believes “we need to leave it to the woman … to make those decisions.” Kennedy stressed he believes “every abortion is a tragedy” and pledged as president to make child care more affordable to reduce pressures on women who are considering abortion due to high costs.

When pressed by Steele if he supports allowing individual states to determine abortion access for women, Kennedy said, “We shouldn’t have government involved.” . . .

“Even if it’s full term?” Steele asked, referring to the possibility of an abortion near the expected delivery date of a child.

“Even if it’s full term,” Kennedy replied. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says He’s Against Government Limits on Abortion” HERE)

2019 Attack on Trump Comes Back to Bite Biden: He ‘Endorses His Own Impeachment’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Critics mocked President Joe Biden over a resurfaced tweet from 2019, saying that what he had meant to be an attack on then-President Donald Trump turned out to be a prescient endorsement of his own impeachment.

Biden’s tweet, sent amid the furor over Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed that Democrats were right to impeach him for suggesting he’d withhold promised aid money and munitions if certain conditions were not met.

“President Trump withheld Congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine unless they granted him a political favor,” Biden tweeted on October 18, 2019. “It’s the definition of quid pro quo. This is no joke — Trump continues to put his own personal, political interests ahead of the national interest. He must be impeached.”

But as a number of critics had pointed out, what Biden said on CNN on Wednesday — that he would withhold ammunition that had already been promised and approved by Congress if Israel mounted a ground offensive in Rafah — amounted to the same thing.

DEEP STATE: Johnson Vows to Protect Jack Smith Hours After Democrats Save His Speakership

/1 Comment/in , /by

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) wasted little time after 163 Democrats voted to save his speakership to announce he would not use Congress’s constitutional power of the purse to stop special counsel Jack Smith’s “lawfare” against Donald Trump.

The Speaker, in some of his earliest public comments after Democrats saved his gavel, refused to make any attempt to defund Smith’s office as it continues its prosecutions of Trump.

“That’s not something you wave a wand and just eliminate the special counsel as a provision,” Johnson told Politico. “There is a necessity for a function like that, because sometimes the Department of Justice — which is an executive branch agency — can’t necessarily, without a conflict of interest, investigate or prosecute the president who’s their boss, or the president’s family.”

When asked straightforwardly if he would write language eliminating Smith’s job into appropriations bills, Johnson replied “no.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) disdainfully pointed out Johnson’s statement on X, writing, “Mike Johnson when asked if he will stop the witch hunt that aims to throw President Trump in jail FOR LIFE!” (Read more from “Johnson Vows to Protect Jack Smith Hours After Democrats Save His Speakership” HERE)

This Pro-Hamas Student at Princeton Shows How Weak and Soft the Left Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s not enough that pro-Hamas mayhem has overtaken college campuses nationwide. We now have these students, though many are probably professional agitators, going on hunger strikes to protest the war in Gaza. We should put “hunger strike” in quotes since this is intermittent fasting. These kids are taking snack breaks—it’s the weakest sauce hunger strike ever. Yet, at Princeton, one student who claims to be immunocompromised complained that she was dying from her self-imposed hunger strike and blamed the school for weakening her.

“This is absolutely unfair. My peers and I, we are starving. We are physically exhausted. I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see,” said the pro-Hamas supporter.

And? This decision was yours to make. Israel isn’t going to withdraw because some idiots decided to starve themselves for terrorists. Biden may be messing with arms shipments to Israel, which is reckless, but even this administration isn’t going to abandon Israel, though it might seem that way right now.

WIN: Appeals Court to Revisit Decision Regarding DA Fani Willis’ Involvement in Trump Case

/4 Comments/in , /by

In a significant development, a Georgia appellate court has agreed to review a decision allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue overseeing a high-profile 2020 election interference case involving former President Donald Trump and his associates, despite concerns regarding her relationship with a subordinate.

The Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia issued a brief order on Wednesday, granting a request from the defense to review a lower-court ruling made in March. The order stipulates that the appellant has ten days to file a notice of appeal.

At the heart of the matter is Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s determination that the defendants failed to substantiate a conflict of interest arising from a romantic relationship between Willis and her special prosecutor, Nathan Wade. Although Judge McAfee acknowledged concerns about the “appearance of impropriety,” he permitted Willis to continue leading the case only after Wade resigned, presenting her with the alternative option of stepping down.

Trump and his co-defendants have vehemently argued for Willis’s disqualification, contending that her romantic involvement with Wade tainted the proceedings. Willis, on the other hand, has insisted that there is no basis for a review of the lower-court ruling.

According to reports, Trump and his co-defendants are expected to request a stay of proceedings while the appeal unfolds, following McAfee’s refusal to halt the process. While a trial date is yet to be determined, Willis reportedly aims to conclude proceedings before the 2024 election.

Trump and 18 co-defendants have entered not guilty pleas to multiple charges in the Georgia election case, with four individuals reaching plea deals. As Trump pursues a potential return to the White House, he continues to deny any wrongdoing across various legal battles.
