Trump Fires off First Tweet in Over 2 Years Since Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, Complete With His Mug Shot: ‘Never Surrender!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump circulated his own mug shot on Thursday night in his first post to X, formerly known as Twitter, since two days after the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

Along with the booking photo, taken hours earlier at an Atlanta jail, Trump, 77, included a link to his 2024 presidential campaign website.

Below the mug shot, read “Election interference,” and “Never surrender!”

Despite the slogan, Trump did in fact surrender to authorities at the Fulton County Jail, where he was booked on charges related to his attempts to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia.

He made history by becoming the first US president to have his mug shot taken.

GOP Debate: Nearly All Say They’d Support Trump If He Were Nominee and Convicted

/0 Comments/in , /by

Six out of eight Republican presidential primary candidates said Wednesday at the first GOP debate that they would support former President Donald Trump if he is the party’s nominee and he is convicted.

When debate moderator Bret Baier asked whether they would continue to endorse him as the Republican Party candidate if he was “legally convicted,” six raised their hands.

Those raising their hands were Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Doug Burgum, Ron DeSantis, and Mike Pence.

Ramaswamy was the first to raise his hand, Haley and Scott then raised their hands at the same time, followed by Burgum. After the audience burst into cheers, DeSantis and Mike Pence raised their hands.

Only former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson did not raise their hands.

Misinformation: Joe Biden Lies About Debate Questions in Social Media Posts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden lied in social media posts about the questions posed to Republican presidential candidates in Wednesday night’s first primary debate, creating a false set of questions in a fake video.

Biden’s questions were: “Raise your hand if you’ll ban abortion”; “Raise your hand if you’ll cut Social Security”; aise your hand if you’re a climate denier”; “Raise your hand if you’re going to support Trump.”

The video shows these questions as captions below a video loop of Republican candidates raising their hands to answer an actual question posed at the debate — namely, which of the contenders would support Donald Trump if he won the party’s nomination after being convicted in a court of law. (Trump faces two state and two federal criminal indictments, which many Republican voters consider political in nature.)

Gender-Transition Surgeries in the U.S. Nearly Tripled Before Pandemic Dip, Study Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

The number of sex change-related operations nationwide nearly tripled heading into the COVID-19 pandemic, a study has found.

Five researchers published the study Wednesday in JAMA Network Open. They analyzed the national inpatient and ambulatory data of 48,019 transgender people who underwent breast or chest operations, genital reconstruction and facial or other cosmetic surgeries at hospitals between 2016 and 2020.

Researchers found the procedures increased annually from 2016 to 2019, nearly tripling from 4,552 to a peak of 13,011. They then fell slightly to 12,818 in 2020 as hospitals discouraged nonessential medical treatments during pandemic lockdowns.

“Like many prior studies, we noted a decrease in the number of procedures performed in 2020, likely reflective of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the researchers wrote. “However, the decline in the number of procedures performed between 2019 and 2020 was relatively modest, particularly as these procedures are largely elective.”

The surgeries accelerated at a faster rate than in previous years, the researchers found. (Read more from “Gender-Transition Surgeries in the U.S. Nearly Tripled Before Pandemic Dip, Study Finds” HERE)

Trump Calls Political Opponents ‘Savages,’ Says They Will Try to Steal 2024 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump called those pushing criminal cases against him “savages” and warned about “a level of hatred I’ve never seen” in the country, in an interview posted Wednesday just before the other major GOP presidential candidates debated for the first time.

He also said he expects opponents will try to steal the 2024 election from him, or any other Republican who emerges from the primary.

“They’re going to try,” he told Tucker Carlson in an 45-minute interview on X, formerly Twitter.

The host at one point ticked off the impeachments and criminal cases against Mr. Trump, and wondered whether the former president’s opponents will now “try to kill you.”

“They’re savage animals. They are people that are sick, really sick,” Mr. Trump said. (Read more from “Trump Calls Political Opponents ‘Savages,’ Says They Will Try to Steal 2024 Election” HERE)

Startling Report Reveals Agendas Joe, Hunter Biden Had for Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

The video of Joe Biden, as Barack Obama’s vice president, stunningly relating how he used a billion dollars of American tax money to threaten Ukrainian officials and coerce them into firing a prosecutor looking into Burisma, which was paying his son Hunter $1 million a year, continues to stun.

In fact, on a trip to Ukraine, he told officials to can prosecutor Viktor Shokin, or lose out on the American aid. He gave them only a few hours to comply, and Shokin was fired.

Biden said, “I said we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said ‘you can’t do that, you have no authority, you’re not the president.’ I said call [President Obama], I told you you’re not getting a billion dollars.” He said he was leaving in six hours, and “If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well son of a b—-, he got fired.”

Now a new investigative report by John Solomon at Just the News traces how just a few weeks before State, Treasury and Justice Department officials had Shokin was making good progress on anti-corruption reforms so the $1 billion loan guarantee could be made available. Shokin even got a letter to that effect. . .

Memos drafted in the Biden camp at that time abruptly turned America’s direction, stating, to Ukraine, “There is wide agreement that anti-corruption must be at the top of this list, and that reforms must include an overhaul of the Prosecutor General’s Office, including removal of Prosecutor General Shokin, who is widely regarded as an obstacle to fighting corruption, if not a source of the problem.” (Read more from “Startling Report Reveals Agendas Joe, Hunter Biden Had for Ukraine” HERE)

Trump to Headline $100K-Per-Plate Bedminster Fundraiser for Rudy Giuliani’s Legal Defense

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump will headline a $100,000-a-plate dinner for his Georgia election fraud co-defendant Rudy Giuliani next month, aimed at raising money for the former mayor’s mounting legal bills.

An invite to the Sept. 7 event at the 77-year-old former president’s Bedminster, N.J., country club notes the six-figure admission price to an evening “round table with President Trump and Mayor Giuliani” to be followed by “dinner with America’s Mayor.”

The event is being organized by the Giuliani Defense political action committee, according to CNBC.

The fundraiser is expected to be attended by at least a dozen guests and raise nearly $1 million, the outlet reported Wednesday.

Giuliani, 79, reportedly has racked up nearly $3 million in legal expenses related to criminal investigations, private lawsuits and legal disciplinary proceedings as a consequence of his efforts to keep Trump in office after his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, according to the New York Times.

Republican Debate: Four Shots Taken at Donald Trump During the First RNC Debate

/0 Comments/in , /by

Without physically being onstage, former President Donald Trump still took significant hits from his eight opponents at the Republican National Committee’s first debate. . .

Several candidates praised former Vice President Mike Pence for certifying the 2020 election results — an indirect hit at Trump, who continues to push debunked claims that the election was stolen from him.

Former Govs. Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson took stronger hits at Trump for alleged criminal misconduct, while DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND) spoke about the weaponization of the Justice Department.

DeSantis said people needed to move forward away from Jan. 6, 2021, and focus on Jan. 20, 2025, “when the next president is going to take off.” . . .

DeSantis hit partly at the Trump administration for the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in shutdowns across the country and a huge hit to the economy. (Read more from “Republican Debate: Four Shots Taken at Donald Trump During the First RNC Debate” HERE)
