Iranian Leader’s ‘Revenge’ Threat Against Trump Comes Into Sharp Focus

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Jan. 22, 2021, Ali Khamenei, the religious dictator of Iran, posted a photo on his official website of President Donald Trump on a golf course with the bold caption: “Revenge is inevitable.”

Two years later, on Feb. 25, 2023, Brigadier Gen. Hossein Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, listed on the U.S. terror blacklist, stated: “God willing, we will be able to kill Trump and Pompeo. That night (during the missile attack on the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq), we could have killed a thousand Americans if we had wanted to, but they were just soldiers, and it would not have mattered. However, Trump, Pompeo, and McKenzie need to be killed,” as reported by the Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s semi-official news agency associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Ahmad Hamzeh, a member of parliament, announced during a public session of the parliament that “on behalf of the people of Kerman, we offer a three-million-dollar cash reward to anyone who kills Trump,” reported the semi-official ISNA news agency on Jan. 21, 2020.

After a 2022 assassination attempt in New York on novelist Salman Rushdie – the longtime object of Iranian assassination threats and fatwas going back to the 1988 publication of his book “The Satanic Verses” – the Kayhan newspaper, which publishes Ali Khamenei’s positions, noted that “taking revenge on the perpetrators and criminals on American soil is not difficult and after this [attempted assassination of Rushdie], Trump and Pompeo will feel more threatened.” Many other threats have been made against Trump by the highest officials of the Iranian regime, speaking of severe revenge for Trump’s killing of Qasem Soleimani, a key architect of terrorism in the Middle East.

Before the failed assassination attempt on Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former vice president of the European Parliament and president of the International Committee in Search of Justice on Nov. 9, 2023, the theocratic regime of Iran had placed him on the foreign ministry’s sanctions list. Immediately after the attempt on his life, and before being transferred to the hospital while unable to speak due to a bullet hitting his lower jaw, he communicated with the police by writing on his cellphone that his only enemy was the Iranian regime. Subsequent investigations showed that the mastermind of this crime was indeed traceable back to Iran. The fugitive criminal had been hired to assassinate Vidal-Quadras.

Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn

/1 Comment/in , /by

Failed Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ final online search before the Pennsylvania rally shooting last weekend was for pornography, according to a report.

Crooks’ last search was found when the FBI gained access to the 20-year-old’s encrypted Samsung phone, a senior law enforcement official told the Daily Beast.

Initial attempts to bust into the Android device at the Pittsburgh field office failed, and the phone had to be flown to Quantico for agents to take a look at it, the source explained.

The only other recent activity the FBI found on the phone was texts from Crooks’ parents asking where he was. . .

Crooks’ parents apparently believed their son had taken one of his father’s AR-15 rifles and gone to a local shooting range. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn” HERE)

Poll: Trump’s Lead Over Biden Widens as America Seeks Stability

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald J. Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in recent national polling. According to a newly released survey, 52 percent of registered voters expressed their intention to vote for Trump if the election were held today. This marks a significant increase from earlier figures, showcasing a clear trend in public sentiment.

Just weeks ago, a CBS News poll had already shown Trump with a solid lead at 50 percent, while Biden lagged behind at 48 percent. Now, with a five-point increase in Trump’s favorability, it is evident that the American people are increasingly turning to the proven leadership of the former president.

The poll also delved into the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite the brazen attack, a notable 26 percent of voters indicated that they were now more inclined to support Trump. This reflects a growing admiration for his resilience and a recognition of his unwavering commitment to the American people.

Moreover, a majority of respondents acknowledged Trump’s efforts to promote national unity following the harrowing incident. Fifty-four percent affirmed that Trump has actively pushed for greater cohesion, while only 46 percent believed otherwise. This demonstrates Trump’s steadfast dedication to healing the nation’s divisions, even amidst personal adversity.

The recent surge in Trump’s popularity reflects a broader sentiment among voters who are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration’s policies. From economic woes to foreign policy mishaps, the Biden administration’s failures have underscored the need for a return to strong, decisive leadership.

As the nation looks ahead to the next election cycle, one thing remains abundantly clear: the American people yearn for stability, security, and a leader who will put their interests first.

CIA Says It Gave False Information to Congress About ‘Spies Who Lie’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The CIA said Thursday it gave false information to Congress about the “Spies Who Lie” who suggested incriminating documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation.

In the stunning twist that’s heightening congressional doubts about the impartiality and reliability of America’s premier spy agency, the CIA said in a letter acquired by The Post that former agency acting director Michael Morell was not a contractor at the time he organized the October 2020 laptop statement.

That contradicted the agency’s previous testimony to Congress that he was under contract.

“This mistake was based on a misreading of the contract documentation,” Robert Dugas, CIA deputy general counsel of litigations and investigations, wrote in a Wednesday letter to Morell’s lawyers, which the CIA acknowledged to The Post Thursday. . .

The walk-back stoked outrage among House Republicans, who published the agency-provided information last month. (Read more from “CIA Says It Gave False Information to Congress About ‘Spies Who Lie’” HERE)

J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote

/1 Comment/in , , /by

J.D. Vance offered a profane explanation based on a quote from “Pulp Fiction” to describe his religious faith.

Donald Trump’s freshly minted running mate told a gathering of religious conservatives Thursday morning at the Faith & Freedom Coalition Breakfast about a scene in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film that he said explained his faith and his view on miracles, reported Politico.

He described an argument between Samuel L. Jackson’s character and ‘his fellow violent gangster’ about ‘whether God had come down from heaven and stopped these mother-effing bullets – that would be the exact phrase,'” Politico reported.

“Jackson’s character says, ‘Well, look, it’s not about whether God changed Coke to Pepsi or found my car keys, what matters is I felt the touch of God,'” Vance reportedly said. (Read more from “J.D. Vance Hits Religious Leaders With Profanity-Riddled ‘Pulp Fiction’ Quote” HERE)

Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden couldn’t even last 48 hours without using extreme rhetoric against former President Donald Trump, after having called on Sunday night for the nation to “lower the temperature in our politics” after Trump survived an assassination attempt.

Speaking at the NAACP convention in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Biden used his traditional playbook of slandering Republicans.

“They will do everything — undo everything the NAACP stands for, but now they’re trying to deny it. They’re lying about their Project 2025. They want to deny you freedom, the freedom of the vote, have your vote counted,” Biden said, completely lying.

“They’d impose a nationwide ban on abortion. … They want to prosecute political enemies. They want to cut Social Security and Medicare, rip away protection for millions of pre-existing conditions for 400 million people … risking people’s lives, costing the government more money. … They would … give the very wealthy a big corporate — corporations a new tax cut,” Biden continued.

All Biden really did this time was stop short of comparing Trump to Hitler — which he’s done in the past. (Read more from “Biden Couldn’t Even Make It 48 Hours Without Using Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump” HERE)

DC Jail Defies U.S. House Demand for Videos of Apparent Pepper-Spray Attack Against J6 Defendant

/0 Comments/in , /by

The District of Columbia Department of Corrections has refused a demand from the House Judiciary Committee for bodycam footage, security video, and medical records related to the September 2022 pepper-spray attack by a jail guard on Jan. 6 detainee Ronald Colton McAbee.

The refusal letter from the DOC deputy general counsel is the latest salvo in a war waged since 2023 by U.S. Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) to obtain and make public video that shows the attack.

It sets up the likelihood that the Judiciary Committee headed by U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will issue a subpoena to compel release of the materials.

In a July 15 response to Jordan, Nehls, and U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.), the DOC deputy counsel cited privacy issues and security of the jail in denying the surveillance video and bodycam footage demanded by the Judiciary Committee.

“The footage requested depicts schematic layouts, points of entry and exit, and arguably the most safety-sensitive aspect of all, the locations of security cameras in that unit,” Andrew Mazzuchelli wrote.

Insiders Describe Trump’s Renewed Determination, Strength in Face of Assassination Attempt

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump wasn’t slated to appear at the Republican National Convention until Thursday.

But when he unexpectedly showed up on Monday, it wasn’t the shock factor that moved delegates and attendees alike, it was his very presence, his walk, his ear bandage, his raised fist in the air and his decision to attend the convention at all just days after nearly losing his life in a failed assassination attempt.

Over the course of several days, social media has buzzed with simulations, photos and diagrams displaying just how close Trump was to death. It was nothing other than divine providence, Trump wrote on Truth Social, and it’s a topic he’s discussed with confidants in recent days, many told the Daily Caller. They described a new strength and determination to meet the moment on the former president’s face and in his voice.

“By the end of [Monday] night, I was able to work up to the rope line. So when he came down off the stairs and walked through, he saw me. He came up to me and put his hand through Secret Service to shake my hand. He looked me right in the eye. He said, ‘that was a heck of a day, wasn’t it? I said, yes, it was, sir,’” Blake Marnell, a California delegate often seen at Trump rallies donning a brick suit, told the Caller. “The truth is, he’s a heck of a guy and we’re lucky to have him.”

Donald Trump Jr. told the Caller he had to wait nearly an hour and a half to get news that his father was okay. In a phone call with his father not long after escaping death, Trump Jr. told the Caller they cracked some jokes.

Star Athlete Gets Part of His Finger Chopped Off to Guarantee His Spot in the Olympics

/2 Comments/in , /by

. . .Matthew Dawson, an Australian field hockey player, revealed Wednesday that he decided to amputate part of his ring finger so that he could be a part of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

While pre-Olympic competition was happening, Dawson broke his finger. In response, he made sure that the injury, as well as the process of healing, didn’t keep him out of the international event.

“I made an informed decision with the plastic surgeon at the time, not only for the opportunity to play in Paris but for life after as well,” said Dawson to 7News. “The best option was for me to take the top of my finger off.”

Saying that it was a long-term decision that both he and his wife made together, Dawson also stated that the injury gives him “change” and an “exciting challenge.”

Hunter Biden Seeks Dismissal of Tax, Gun Cases, Citing Decision to Toss Trump Case

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, asked federal judges on Thursday to dismiss tax and gun cases against him, citing a ruling in Florida this week that threw out a separate prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

The requests in federal court in Delaware and California underscore the potential ramifications of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal Monday of the classified documents case against Trump and the possibility that it could unsettle the legal landscape surrounding Justice Department special counsels.

Both Hunter Biden and Trump were prosecuted by special counsels appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. In dismissing the Trump case, Cannon ruled that the appointment of the special counsel who prosecuted Trump, Jack Smith, violated the Constitution because he was appointed directly to the position by Garland instead of being nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

Smith’s team has said the Justice Department followed long-establishment precedent — for instance, the Trump-era appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian election interference was upheld by courts — and has appealed Cannon’s dismissal to a federal appeals court in Atlanta.
