‘Of Course!’ Former Trump Advisor Stephen Miller Says Watergate Was ‘Obviously’ a ‘Deep State Coup Against Richard Nixon’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The exchange happened during the Friday edition of The Benny Show where host Benny Johnson asked Miller how reform could take place at the Department of Justice in light of the third indictment of Trump. A clip from the interview began circulating Twitter via Jason Campbell.

JOHNSON: I think the atmosphere, perhaps Stephen, is right for true, true reform here at the DOJ. Sir, how do you go about doing it?

MILLER: Well, the first and most important thing is to reestablish what is known as the unitary executive. So this goes back to the Watergate era. And now we obviously know, looking back on it now, of course, that that was a deep state coup against Richard Nixon.

MILLER: But this was back to the Watergate era in which, by the way, the cost of that just that we’re talking about measuring this in human lives, is that just I know it is a tangent, but to understand the consequence of the deep state thinking they run policy. Getting rid of Nixon, who was pursuing an honorable peace and a durable peace in Vietnam, led to the complete collapse of Nixon’s Vietnam strategy after he left office.

A family and a New Jersey community are grieving the loss of a young policeman who died of cardiac arrest on July 23.

Twenty-three-year-old Sam Irvin collapsed as he ran sprints outside at his fiancé’s family’s farm in Columbus, Fox 29 reported Thursday, noting he had an enlarged heart, which was revealed in the autopsy.

“His heart just stopped, and they said it happened within seconds, so he didn’t feel pain,” his fiancé, Mackenzie Santucci, explained, adding it was an extremely traumatic day.

On July 25, the Mansfield Township Police Department announced the tragic loss, noting, “Sam was not only a colleague, he was a brother and a friend.”

“It is difficult to write this because we are all at a loss for words. We are trying our hardest to honor him in the best way we can, but nothing we do will amount to the Man, Expectant Father, Fiancé, Brother, Son, and Friend that Samuel Irvin was,” the department said.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Police in New York City are struggling to control a crowd of thousands of people who gathered in Manhattan’s Union Square for an internet personality’s supposed videogame console giveaway that got out of hand.

Aerial TV news footage Friday showed a surging, tightly packed crowd climbing on vehicles, hurling chairs, throwing punches and scaling structures in the park. Shouting teenagers swung objects at car windows and ran through the streets.

Traffic was blocked by the crowd on several streets. A growing number of police officers could be seen trying to control the gathering. Some people climbed on top of a moving vehicle, falling off as it sped away. Others pounded on the side of a city bus. People could be seen climbing on top of another bus and jumping up and down.

Report: Obama Pulls the Strings in Joe Biden’s White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report from the Tablet online magazine alleges that former President Barack Obama is the power behind much of what happens in President Joe Biden’s White House, controlling key decisions through an army of Obama administration alumni.

The lengthy article, “The Obama Factor,” consists of a lengthy introduction by author David Samuels, followed by an interview with civil rights historian and Obama biographer David Garrow. The article covers a wide range of topics, including many areas that few journalists bothered to explore during his 2008 campaign and subsequent presidency, such as the fact that much of Obama’s first memoir, Dreams from my Father, was fiction; or that he had privately expressed having homosexual fantasies.

However, the most important portion for current political debates — made relevant by new reports that Obama had advised Biden on the dangers of a Trump candidacy in 2024 — is that Obama is the prime mover in his former vice president’s administration.

Samuels writes:

That Obama might enjoy serving as a third-term president in all but name, running the government from his iPhone, was a thought expressed in public by Obama himself, both before and after he left office. “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony,” he told Steven Colbert in 2015, “I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.” Even with all these clues, the Washington press corps—fresh off their years of broadcasting fantasies about secret communications links between Trump Tower and the Kremlin—seemed unable to imagine, let alone report on, Obama’s role in government.

A 74-year-old female former private school teacher in Monroe County, Wisconsin, has been convicted and faces hundreds of years in prison after being charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old male student.

White House Censorship of Social Media Violates First Amendment Rights

/0 Comments/in , /by

On March 26, 2021, White House digital director Rob Flaherty e-mailed Facebook, asking what sort of restrictions the social-media company was going to put on the New York Post.

“I’m curious — NY Post churning out articles every day about people dying. What is supposed to happen to that from Policy perspective. Does that article get a reduction, labels?”

What we were “churning out” was the occasional news piece about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine based on the information we had at the time (even as we also advocated for taking it in editorials).

So for those keeping score at home, social-media censorship of The Post included:

Saying we couldn’t publish Hunter Biden’s laptop because it was fake or hacked. (Read more from “White House Censorship of Social Media Violates First Amendment Rights” HERE)

Trump Rips Jan. 6 Arraignment, Calling It ‘Persecution of a Political Opponent’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Former President Donald Trump blasted the indictment against him as “persecution of a political opponent” not long after pleading not guilty to charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election.

“This is a very sad day for America. And it was also very sad driving through Washington, DC, and seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls of the graffiti. This is not the place that I left, it’s a very sad thing to see it,” he told reporters before boarding his so-called Trump Force One at Reagan National Airport.

“When you look at what’s happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that’s leading by very very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot,” he continued.

“So, you can’t beat him you persecute him or you prosecute them. We can’t let this happen in America. Thank you very much.” (Read more from “Trump Rips Jan. 6 Arraignment, Calling It ‘Persecution of a Political Opponent'” HERE)

By Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to four alleged crimes related to the January 6, 2020, Capitol riot and 2020 election on Thursday.

Trump was arraigned in a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., after a grand jury voted Tuesday to indict the former president on counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Trump attorney Alina Habba spoke outside the D.C. courthouse, accusing the Department of Justice of targeting Trump to cover up negative news about President Joe Biden and his family. . .

Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social, ahead of the court hearing, accusing Biden of corruption.

“Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!” Trump posted. (Read more from “Trump Pleads Not Guilty to 2020 Election Charges During D.C. Arraignment” HERE)

CNN Poll: Americans Trust Congressional Republicans to Run the Country Far More Than Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

A CNN polling analyst said results from the news outlet’s latest poll was “very worrying” for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.

The latest CNN poll found that far more Americans trust congressional Republicans on national issues than those who trust the current president.

Only 45% said they trusted Biden while 54% said they trusted congressional Republicans more. The poll also found that 51% of Americans believed the economy was in a slump and getting worse.

The poll comes at a time when the Biden re-election campaign has tried to tout recent economic statistics to persuade American voters that “Bidenomics” have worked and improved their economic situation.

While Biden has a low 40% general approval rating, his approval drops when asked about the economy. (Read more from “CNN Poll: Americans Trust Congressional Republicans to Run the Country Far More Than Biden” HERE)

NYT Writer Admits Jack Smith’s Charges Against Trump Are ‘Weak’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York Times senior writer described Special Counsel Jack Smith’s charges against former President Donald Trump as weak in a legal breakdown published Thursday.

David Leonhardt argued in his Times article that Trump did not violate any laws “in obvious ways” in the lead-up to or during the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. He pointed out that Trump did not “directly” tell the Jan. 6 rioters to attack the Capitol and that he told the “Stop the Steal” rally protesters to remain peaceful.

“As for Trump’s broader effort to overturn the election result, no federal law specifically bars politicians from attempting to do so,” he wrote.

The former president is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

Suspect Accused in Vicious Beating of Cop ‘Wanted to Kill a White Police Officer,’ Prosecutor Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The suspect accused in a vicious beating of a Cincinnati cop last month “wanted to kill a white police officer,” Hamilton County prosecutor Melissa Powers said, according to WCPO-TV.

Brandon Claiborne, 34, was initially charged with aggravated robbery and felonious assault after police said he beat Officer Terry McGuffey with his own baton, tried to “gouge the officer’s eyes out,” and struck him several times with a Taser on July 23, the station reported.

Claiborne now will face two aggravated robbery charges, two felonious assault charges, and an attempted murder charge, WCPO added, citing a grand jury indictment released Wednesday.

What’s more, Powers said in a press release that “the investigation determined Claiborne wanted to kill a white police officer,” the station noted.

“This vicious attack was nothing short of attempted murder of a police officer,” Powers also said, according to WCPO. “Situations like this are the direct result of a growing anti-police movement that is dehumanizing law enforcement.” (Read more from “Suspect Accused in Vicious Beating of Cop ‘Wanted to Kill a White Police Officer,’ Prosecutor Says” HERE)
