Donald Trump Lays Out Policy Vision for Country Upon Return to Office

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively in a long-form video interview of his major policy vision for a return to the White House should voters send him back to the Oval Office next year.

Trump, who is currently leading by far in the GOP primary and in many cases leading or tied with incumbent Democrat President Joe Biden in general election surveys, said he is confident and hopeful he will be able to hang on and win another term in the White House.

“I think so. I hope so,” Trump said when asked if he believes he will win next year. “I hope so for the country or we’re going to have a country that’s finished. I have people coming up to me all the time crying — men, women, strong people, smart people — and they’re crying say ‘if you don’t win, sir, our country is finished. Our country is finished.’ I believe it.”

On his first day in office, Trump told Breitbart News he would again “create the greatest economy ever, in history.”

“You know, we had the greatest economy in history,” Trump said. “We’re going to do it again. Our jobs numbers, our employment numbers, we had the greatest economy in the history of the world frankly — and we’re going to do that again. But we’re going to be drilling for energy. We’re going to be using what’s under our feet — liquid gold. Then we’re going to start paying off debt and reducing taxes.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Lays Out Policy Vision for Country Upon Return to Office” HERE)

Democrats Push 1,000% Tax on AR-15s

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Democrats introduced legislation Friday that would place a 1,000 percent excise tax on AR-15s and other firearms they refer to as “assault weapons.”

FOX News reported the tax would also apply to “high capacity” magazines.

Rep. Don Beyer (D) and 24 other Democrats are behind the tax which they also pushed last year.

The imposition would force the price of a $500 firearm to jump to $5,000 and “a weapon that normally costs $2,000 would force customers to pay more than $20,000.” (Read more from “Democrats Push 1,000% Tax on AR-15s” HERE)

Trump Jokes He Needs ‘One More Indictment’ to Win Election

/7 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump joked Friday that he would win the 2024 election if he was hit with “one more indictment” during a speech before a dinner held by the Alabama Republican Party.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges during his Thursday arraignment after Special Counsel Jack Smith secured a four-count indictment of Trump relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election after Smith previously secured a 37-count indictment against Trump in June based on an investigation into allegations surrounding classified documents.

“They wanted to wait, and they did wait,” Trump said. “They waited right to the middle of an election and they waited until I became the dominant force in the polls because we’re dominating everybody, including Biden in the polls, and then they filed `em all, every one of of all that essentially one time, including local DA’s and AGs that even other cases right in the middle of the campaign, where we’re leading by so much and that’s not going to make any impact, because every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. We need one more indictment to close out this election, one more indictment and this election is closed out. Nobody has even a chance.” (Read more from “Trump Jokes He Needs ‘One More Indictment’ to Win Election” HERE)

WSJ Columnist Points Out the Obvious Flaw in Jack Smith’s J6 Indictment Against Trump

By Townhall. Special Counsel Jack Smith has indicted Donald Trump over January 6 on a slew of charges that appear to encroach on free speech rights. The latest indictment seems to draw on what law professor Jonathan Turley warned about concerning Mr. Smith’s interpretation of criminal statutes: he stretches them into illogical territory. It’s why Smith’s past conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was tossed out unanimously by the Supreme Court. This Trump indictment could suffer a similar fate.

The talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are loaded with left-wing legal clowns who fail to see that Smith’s charges set a precedent where everyone on the Hill would be jailed. Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel took a katana to the reasoning behind the indictment, noting that Barack Obama would have been jailed under the Jack Smith protocol of ‘saying things that I don’t like, so I’ll draw up federal charges’ paradigm:

That’s the biggest problem with Mr. Smith’s latest broadside against Donald Trump, on top of its untested legal theories and evidence of a Justice Department double standard. As former Attorney General William Barr told CNN on Wednesday, “there were reasons not to bring” the case, and among them is “the slippery slope of criminalizing legitimate political activity.”

Take Mr. Trump out of the equation and consider more broadly what even the New York Times calls Mr. Smith’s “novel approach.” A politician can lie to the public, Mr. Smith concedes. Yet if that politician is advised by others that his comments are untruthful and nonetheless uses them to justify acts that undermine government “function,” he is guilty of a conspiracy to defraud the country. Dishonest politicians who act on dubious legal claims? There aren’t enough prisons to hold them all.

The Ukrainian Prosecutor Joe Biden Had Fired Is Speaking Out (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin is speaking out and revealing his side of the story after then Vice President Joe Biden demanded he be fired back in 2016.

At the time of his firing, Shokin was investigating corruption at Ukrainian gas company Burisma — the same company that was paying Hunter Biden $80,000 per month to sit on the board.

During closed door testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee earlier this week, Hunter Biden’s former business partner — Devon Archer — said he believed Burisma would have gone under if not for the Biden “brand” — including Joe Biden — being attached to the company.

“My only thought is that I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it,” Archer said. (Read more from “The Ukrainian Prosecutor Joe Biden Had Fired Is Speaking Out (VIDEO)” HERE)

Federal Court Upholds Law Eliminating Religious Exemptions for Childhood Vaccines

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Connecticut law eliminating religious exemptions for childhood vaccines is constitutional and legal, according to a federal appeals court.

In a Friday ruling, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissed the claim that refusal to accept religious exemptions for vaccinations was unconstitutional.

“[I]t is not enough for a law to simply affect religious practice; the law or the process of its enactment must demonstrate ‘hostility’ to religion,” stated the court. “[E]xempting a student from the vaccination requirement because of a medical condition and exempting a student who declines to be vaccinated for religious reasons are not comparable in relation to the State’s interest.”

The court also said that the accommodations for religious objectors nullified arguments that the law was hostile to religion, citing a provision in the law allowing children already enrolled in K-12 to maintain their religious exemptions.

The ruling explained that the Connecticut legislature introduced the bill in 2021 to address a one percent rise in child religious exemptions during the preceding seven years. The court also noted that the proposed exemption elimination received overwhelming public opposition (95 percent), with the supportive minority representing various public health agencies and associations.

Trump Calls on Supreme Court to ‘Intercede’ in Legal Battles

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump on Friday called on the Supreme Court to “intercede” in his mounting legal battles.

Trump excoriated his political enemies on social media one day after he pleaded not guilty to federal changes in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot and 2020 election interference.

“CRAZY! My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including D.A., A.G., and others, which require massive amounts of my time & money to adjudicate,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform Friday morning.

Trump added that resources that could have gone to advertisements and rallies will now have to be spent fighting the “Radical Left Thugs” in courts across the country. . .

“It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede. MAGA!” Trump wrote. (Read more from “Trump Calls on Supreme Court to ‘Intercede’ in Legal Battles” HERE)

Bidenomics! Gas Stove Crackdown Would Save Americans 9 Cents per Month

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bidenomics, baby! That’s the term the Biden administration is “quite proud” of, but that nobody is able to define. Or, perhaps they are able to explain it, but avoid providing particulars about what it means because doing so would pop any illusion that the president’s economic and “cost-saving” policies are working.

For example, remember that gas stove crackdown that the Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has long touted as being necessary to save energy and money for the American people? Well, the Department of Energy recently revised its expectations for exactly how much the average American would save under new rules, which would effectively ban nearly 50% of gas stoves off the market.

Under “Bidenomics,” consumers could save nine cents a month by ditching their gas stoves. That means you would save just shy of $11 over the next decade.

Why the change?

Well, according to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), the professionals at DOE had their initial data wrong. (Read more from “Bidenomics! Gas Stove Crackdown Would Save Americans 9 Cents per Month” HERE)

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.

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:
