Trump Shares Private Texts From Macron and NATO Chief, Saying They ‘Made My Point’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he shared private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on social media because they “made my point.”

“It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,” Trump said in an interview with The New York Post.

The president posted screenshots of text messages from Macron and Rutte on his Truth Social platform that praised him for his work in Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.

Macron offered to set up a G7 meeting in Paris after the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and have dinner with Trump before he heads back to the White House.

A White House official told Fox News that Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time. (Read more from “Trump Shares Private Texts From Macron and NATO Chief, Saying They ‘Made My Point’” HERE)

Trump Rips ‘Crooked’ Ilhan Omar as House Ramps Up Investigation Into Exploding Net Worth

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., a member of the far-left “Squad” in the House, over her multi-million dollar net worth during a news conference from the White House Tuesday afternoon.

Trump called the Somali-born lawmaker from Minnesota “crooked” on Tuesday amid a probe by Congressional Republicans on the House Oversight Committee looking into how Omar’s wealth exploded after becoming a lawmaker. In just one year, Omar’s net worth reportedly jumped $30 million, according to financial disclosures first reported last week.

“I was told that Ilhan Omar is worth $30 million,” Trump then quipped. “She never had a job. She’s a crooked congressman. So here you – it’s another one.

“Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion, at a minimum, is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree, but, by Somalians – they’ve taken it. Somalians. Can you imagine? And they don’t do it, a lot of very low IQ people, they don’t do it. Other people work it out, and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes-Benz’s.

“They have no money. They never had money. They never had a life. They never had a government. They never had a country because there’s basically no country. Somalia is not even a country. They don’t have anything that resembles a country. And if it is a country, it’s considered just about the worst in the world. They come here, and they become rich and they don’t have a job,” Trump complained from the podium in the White House briefing room before turning his focus to Omar.

Justice Dept. to Interrogate Tim Walz, Four Other Top Minnesota Democrats

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice has subpoenaed five top Democrats in Minnesota to question them on the legality of their opposition to the federal enforcement of immigration law.

The New York Times reported:

Federal prosecutors issued subpoenas on Tuesday to at least five Democratic officials in Minnesota, ramping up the Justice Department’s investigation into their response to the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in the state, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The subpoenas sought documents from Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Mayor Kaohly Her of St. Paul related to their policies on immigration enforcement efforts in the state. Two Minnesota prosecutors, Keith Ellison, the state attorney general, and Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, were also sent similar subpoenas.

The investigation is supercharged by the Democrats’ behind-the-scenes support for the mobs that harass federal enforcement officers and pro-enforcement demonstrations.

“You’ve got to get rid of sanctuary cities,” President Donald Trump told reporters at a Tuesday press conference. (Read more from “Justice Dept. to Interrogate Tim Walz, Four Other Top Minnesota Democrats” HERE)

Foundational American Ally Approves Chinese Super-Embassy In Capital

/0 Comments/in , /by

The UK’s Labour Party-controlled government has approved plans for China to build a sprawling new embassy complex in central London, despite warnings from lawmakers, security officials, and Chinese dissidents who say the project poses serious national security risks.

British Housing Secretary Steve Reed formally signed off Tuesday on the 600,000-square-foot complex at Royal Mint Court, near the Tower of London and the city’s financial district. The approval comes just days before Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to visit China — the first by a British prime minister since 2018 — to boost diplomatic and economic ties with Beijing.

Critics have long warned that the embassy could be used for intelligence gathering or to monitor and intimidate Chinese nationals and dissidents living in the UK.

“Labour’s greenlighting of the Chinese Embassy has gifted the Chinese Communist Party a launchpad for economic warfare in the heart of London,” Alicia Kearns, the shadow minister for national security and safeguarding for the opposition Conservative Party, wrote on X following the decision. “What message does it send to the CPC which has committed cyber attacks, attempted to attack our parliament, and intimidates those who sought refuge here?”

China purchased the site in 2018 for roughly £255 million. The historic property, once used to mint Britain’s currency, faced repeated delays and legal challenges. Local authorities initially rejected the embassy plans in 2022 over safety and security concerns, prompting Beijing to pressure the UK government.

NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it.

The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.

The NY Times even contacted the Department of Homeland Security about its growing popularity.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin was unmoved. “I’m more concerned with facts on the ground than I am about acronyms,” McLaughlin told the paper.

The NY Times reported that conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media that “an AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her.” Orlando radio host Pierce Outlaw called such women “the scourge of polite society.” (Read more from “NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women” HERE)

Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests

/17 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon reportedly ordered roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota as protests against federal immigration enforcement continue in Minneapolis.

Two U.S. defense officials told Reuters the Army placed two infantry battalions from the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division on standby. The troops specialize in cold-weather operations. Officials said the soldiers would deploy if violence in the state worsens, though it remains unclear whether any will actually be sent.

The White House said in a statement to The Washington Post that it is typical for the Pentagon “to be prepared for any decision the President may or may not make.” Defense officials characterized the move as “prudent planning,” the Post reported.

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell addressed the preparations in an emailed statement to the Associated Press (AP). He did not deny the orders were issued.

“The Department of War is always prepared to execute the orders of the Commander-in-Chief if called upon,” Parnell said. (Read more from “Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests” HERE)

Iran Accused of Killing 16,500 in Sweeping ‘Genocide’ Crackdown, Report Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian protesters are facing their deadliest days yet as security forces unleash mass killings and executions in a sweeping crackdown some have labeled “genocide,” new reports say.

According to The Sunday Times, a report compiled by doctors entrenched in the region and reviewed by the outlet, estimates that security forces have killed at least 16,500 protesters and injured more than 330,000 others.

The report also described the violence as an “utter slaughter,” warning that the true toll may be even higher due to restricted access to hospitals and the near-total shutdown of communications.

Most of the victims, the report says, are believed to be under the age of 30, underscoring the heavy toll on Iran’s younger generation as the regime intensifies its efforts to crush dissent.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei acknowledged Sunday that “several thousands” have been killed since protests erupted Dec. 28. (Read more from “Iran Accused of Killing 16,500 in Sweeping ‘Genocide’ Crackdown, Report Says” HERE)

Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CNN host Don Lemon defended left-wing rioters who disrupted an evangelical church service Sunday believing a pastor was connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a livestream broadcast.

Riots in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area are occurring as opposition to ICE’s enforcement operations was intensified after an ICE agent ambushed by three illegal immigrants wounded one of them Wednesday. The incident follows another ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good during a Jan. 17 “targeted” immigration enforcement operation. Lemon broadcast footage of the protest, including his arrival at Cities Church in Minneapolis, about 40 minutes into a six-and-a-half-hour livestream.

“Everybody has to be willing to sacrifice something to save democracy,” Lemon posted Sunday on TikTok in a caption for a video showing his arrival in Minneapolis.

During the livestream, Lemon described the protest — which disrupted the church service — as protesters chanting “Justice for Renee Good.”

Video recorded on a cell phone by the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots showed Good appearing to ignore commands from other ICE agents to exit her vehicle before she backed up her car and looked at the agent. She then allegedly accelerated towards the agent, after her girlfriend shouted, “Drive, baby, drive!” (Read more from “Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’” HERE)

ICE Agent Slams Protester During Search for Alleged Child Sex Offender: ‘That’s Who You’re Protecting’

/0 Comments/in , /by

An ICE agent in the Twin Cities slammed an agitator following his car and honking for impeding feds’ reported operation to nab a child sex offender.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer behind the wheel of a pick-up truck rolled up alongside a reporter who was observing the altercation from their parked car in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday, according to a video shared on X.

“We’re here to arrest a child sex offender. And you guys are out here honking,” the masked agent said.

“We’re not honking, we’re press,” the journalist recording the video responded.

The officer paused as he leaned out the window a little further and jabbed a finger towards the vehicle further down the street. (Read more from “ICE Agent Slams Protester During Search for Alleged Child Sex Offender: ‘That’s Who You’re Protecting’” HERE)

Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump preemptively endorsed a potential GOP primary foe of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy, a trained gastroenterologist who has been apprehensive about some of the administration’s vaccine and medical policies.

The president encouraged Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) to jump into the race for Senate, hailing the mother of two as a “TOTAL WINNER” and “wonderful person.”

“I am hearing that Julia is considering launching her Campaign for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times,” Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday.

“Should she decide to enter this Race, Julia Letlow has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JULIA, RUN!!!”

Cassidy (R-La.) launched his reelection bid last year and affirmed his commitment to running Saturday despite the president’s stamp of approval for Letlow. (Read more from “Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe” HERE)
