Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with GB News host Nigel Farage that if he is reelected, the United States will stay in NATO if other nations pay their “fair share.”

Farage said, “You said this back in 2017 and 18 when you were president, you visited Brussels, and you commented that the Russians can do whatever they want if these countries don’t pay. You said it again recently. That’s now being used.”

Trump said, “They can use it, I don’t care if they use it. Because what I’m saying is a form of negotiation. Why should we guard these countries that have a lot of money, and the United States was paying for most of NATO? When I went there, I had already had it out with them. They then stopped paying again. But now they’re paying because of those comments that you saw two, three weeks ago. I don’t know if you know, but a lot of money’s come in since those comments were made.”

He continued, “NATO was not paying. I went to the first meeting early in my administration, and I saw what was going on, and I said, ‘You’re going to have to pay your bills, everybody.’ Then, at the second meeting, I hit them hard. The question was then asked by the head of a major country in front of everyone else: ‘So if we don’t pay our bills, are you going to protect us from Russia?’ I said, ‘You mean you’re delinquent? You’re not paying the bills? Then no, I’m not going to pay you. We’re not going to do it. We’re not going to defend you if you’re not paying your bills.’ It’s very simple. And hundreds of billions of dollars came flowing in.” (Read more from “Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’” HERE)

Supreme Court Lifts Stay on Texas Law That Gives Police Powers to Arrest Illegals at Border

A divided Supreme Court has lifted a stay on a Texas law that gives police broad powers to arrest [illegal aliens] suspected of crossing the border illegally while a legal battle over immigration authority plays out.

The Biden administration is suing to strike down the measure, arguing it’s a clear violation of federal authority that would hurt international relations and create chaos in administering immigration law. A judge could then order them to leave the U.S.

Texas has argued it has a right to take action over what Gov. Greg Abbott has described as an “invasion” of migrants on the border. (Read more from “Supreme Court Lifts Stay on Texas Law That Gives Police Powers to Arrest Illegals at Border” HERE)

Bar Exam Will No Longer Be Required to Become an Attorney in this State Because it’s Racist

The bar exam will no longer be required to become a lawyer in Washington, the state Supreme Court ruled in a pair of orders Friday.

The court approved alternative ways to show competency and earn a law license after appointing a task force to examine the issue in 2020.

The Bar Licensure Task Force found that the traditional exam “disproportionally and unnecessarily blocks” marginalized groups from becoming practicing attorneys and is “at best minimally effective” for ensuring competency, according to a news release from the Washington Administrative Office of the Courts.

Washington is the second state to not require the bar exam, following Oregon, which implemented the change at the start of this year. Other states, including Minnesota, Nevada, South Dakota and Utah, are examining alternative pathways to licensure.

“These recommendations come from a diverse body of lawyers in private and public practice, academics, and researchers who contributed immense insight, counterpoints and research to get us where we are today,” Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, who chaired the task force, said in a statement. “With these alternative pathways, we recognize that there are multiple ways to ensure a competent, licensed body of new attorneys who are so desperately needed around the state.” (Read more from “Bar Exam Will No Longer Be Required to Become an Attorney in this State Because it’s Racist” HERE)

Christian Vet Who Beheaded Satanic Statue in Iowa Statehouse Seeks Dismissal of Hate Crime Charge, Says Satanic Temple Isn’t a Real Religion

The Christian veteran charged in the beheading of a Satanic statue placed in the Iowa Capitol is seeking to have the hate crime charge against him removed because the Satanic Temple group is not considered a relgion.

In a Friday court filing, attorney Sara Pasquale for Michael Cassidy wrote that the “violation of individual rights” enhancement in the case is inapplicable as well as unconstitutional, according to the Des Moines Register.

Pasquale wrote that the law regarding crimes motivated by “the person’s (victim’s) race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability” was not applicable in Cassidy’s case, as the display was owned by the Satanic Temple and is a legal entity, not an individual that can have a race, sex, disability, or practice a religion.

“It could never be said, save in Wonderland, that Best Buy is Buddhist,” Pasquale wrote.

Pasquale noted that the Satanic Temple is not a religion for the purposes of the statute, as a religion entails “a system of faith and worship,” and the Satanic Temple has specifically said they don’t have “a belief in a personal Satan. She also noted comments made by a temple leader in which it was a “common misconception” that “the Satanic Temple is a theistic religion that worships Satan as an entity.” (Read more from “Christian Vet Who Beheaded Satanic Statue in Iowa Statehouse Seeks Dismissal of Hate Crime Charge, Says Satanic Temple Isn’t a Real Religion” HERE)

What Joe Miller Has Been Saying for Years: Study Shows Google has Interfered in Dozens of U.S. Elections

A damning report released by the Media Research Center (MRC) alleges that Google, the tech giant synonymous with online search and advertising, has repeatedly interfered in U.S. elections, manipulating search results to favor leftist candidates and suppress conservative voices.

The study, conducted by MRC’s Free Speech America division, outlines a shocking pattern of election interference spanning over 16 years and encompassing 41 separate instances. According to Dan Schneider, vice president of MRC Free Speech America, and Gabriela Pariseau, the division’s editor, Google’s actions have had a profound impact on electoral outcomes, consistently harming candidates who posed a threat to its preferred left-wing candidates, regardless of party affiliation.

The report highlights a range of alleged infractions, including algorithmic manipulation and outright censorship. Among the most significant claims are accusations that Google favored Barack Obama over Republican rivals John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012. Additionally, it’s asserted that Google failed to rectify a derogatory “Google bomb” targeting Rick Santorum during the 2012 GOP primaries and selectively excluded potentially damaging autofill results for Hillary Clinton in 2016 while neglecting to extend the same courtesy to Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders.

Further findings suggest that Google disabled Tulsi Gabbard’s ad account during the 2020 Democratic debates, suppressed negative coverage of Joe Biden, concealed Republican campaign websites during the 2022 Senate races, and is actively boosting Biden’s 2024 campaign by burying search results related to his opponents.

According to the authors of the study, this pattern of misconduct is not limited to isolated incidents but reflects an organizational mission to interfere in elections. Google consistently favored candidates aligned with its leftist values while censoring those perceived as threats.

Google has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that they are baseless and inaccurate. These allegations raise significant concerns about the integrity of electoral processes and the influence of technology giants on democratic systems in the United States.

Super Bowl Champ Turns Left-Wing Talking Point on Its Head, Points Out What Really Matters: We Need Strong Fathers

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker recalled the deadly shooting at the team’s Super Bowl parade in a recent interview.

Disc jockey Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed and nearly two dozen others were wounded in last month’s shooting. Three men are facing federal gun charges in the incident.

The Super Bowl champion was asked in an interview on EWTN News’ “In Depth” about gun violence and how to curb it in the wake of the shooting.

“I had to do a lot of thinking about what took place at the parade. I know that gun violence was a big discussion, but at the end of the day this is degenerative violence, and it should not be occurring,” Butker said. “I think we need strong fathers in the home. We need men that are leading, that are setting good examples, that are teaching the young men in our society that violence is not the way to handle our disputes.

“It’s very unfortunate what happened. Unfortunately, many, many children were injured. A beautiful young lady was killed over someone getting offended and turning to violence to handle that dispute. It’s so sad. I don’t think guns are the issue. I think we need fathers in the home that are being great examples for our youth.” (Read more from “Super Bowl Champ Turns Left-Wing Talking Point on Its Head, Points Out What Really Matters: We Need Strong Fathers” HERE)

Trump: Any Jewish Person Who Votes for Democrats ‘Hates Their Religion’

Former President Donald Trump has come under fire for saying that Jewish people who vote for Democrats “hate their religion.”

In an interview on Monday with Sebastian Gorka, a former White House aide of his, Trump was asked about several prominent Democrats’ criticisms of Israel’s government, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and President Joe Biden. Trump responded by accusing Democrats of hating Israel and questioning the faith of the Jewish people who support them.

“I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump said. “I think they hate Israel. And the Democrat party hates Israel.”

“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” he added later in the interview. “They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”

He reiterated comments he made on Sunday about Schumer’s motivations, saying Democrats only criticized Israel due to cynical self-interest, seeing potential votes from pro-Palestinians. (Read more from “Trump: Any Jewish Person Who Votes for Democrats ‘Hates Their Religion’” HERE)

Biden and the Media Peddle Dishonest Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Smear

President Joe Biden and the media peddled a dishonest smear over the weekend, claiming that former President Donald Trump was inciting political violence when he said there would be a “bloodbath” in the country if he does not win in November.

The Trump comment used to advance this false narrative was made by the former president on Saturday during a campaign rally in Ohio, where he was discussing the effect of Biden’s automotive import policies and how he would place tariffs on Chinese vehicles.

“We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected,” Trump said. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”

It is quite clear from the context of the quote that Trump is referring to the auto industry and the effect of Biden’s policies on automotive manufacturing jobs. But in an act of blatant dishonesty, the Biden campaign and legacy media outlets twisted the former president’s comments to seem like he was promising violence should he lose the election.

Biden campaign spokesman James Singer said the comment was evidence of “who Donald Trump is” and that he would ensure more political violence. (Read more from “Biden and the Media Peddle Dishonest Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Smear” HERE)

Here’s What Scientists Now Say We Should Eat to ‘Save the Planet’ From Climate Change

For more than a decade, people have been told to eat bugs to combat climate change. The hot new food source to reportedly reduce one’s carbon footprint is snakes, according to scientists.

New research advocates for humans to increase consumption of snakes as a food alternative to reduce greenhouse gases.

Research published in Scientific Reports last week noted that “python farming appears to offer tangible benefits for sustainability and food systems resilience.”

The authors of the study claim that python farming “can not only complement existing livestock systems, but may offer better returns in terms of production efficiencies.”

“This is an alternative livestock system that needs to be taken seriously,” said the paper’s lead author – Dr. Daniel Natusch. “We’re not necessarily saying everyone should stop eating beef and turn to pythons, but there needs to be a conversation about them having a more prominent place in the agricultural mix.” (Read more from “Here’s What Scientists Now Say We Should Eat to ‘Save the Planet’ From Climate Change” HERE)

Ex-Network Anchor Hints at Assassination of Trump

Keith Olbermann, formerly an MSNBC anchor known for his wild and outlandish ideas, such as his suggestion to dissolve the U.S. Supreme Court, now has gone on social media with an implied threat to President Donald Trump.

There’s always the hope https://t.co/SBlFO3kKnA

— Keith Olbermann⌚️ (@KeithOlbermann) March 16, 2024

It was a Joe Biden campaign account that commented about Trump explaining he’s been persecuted worse than any president in history, including Abraham Lincoln, and Olbermann said, “There’s always the hope.”
Fox News cited Olbermann’s reputation for “inflammatory” statements.

Fox reported, “One account that responded to Olbermann’s post suggested the commentator’s account should be ‘permanently suspended’ for appearing to endorse someone killing Trump, the presumptive nominee for the 2024 Republican nomination. Trump is trying to become only the second president since Grover Cleveland to win another White House term after losing a previous re-election bid.” (Read more from “Ex-Network Anchor Hints at Assassination of Trump” HERE)
