Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Trump said if he formally announces a 2024 White House bid and is re-elected, he would return to the nation’s capital with experience and a new perspective, without having to rely on Washington insiders, and would build on his “unbeatable” America First record.

The former president sat for a wide-ranging interview on Trump Force One, a Boeing 757, Monday night with Fox News Digital and four other reporters after teasing during a rally in Dayton, Ohio that he plans make a “major” announcement from Mar-a-Lago on Nov.15, likely regarding the launch of his possible third presidential campaign. . .

Before that though, Trump is calling for a GOP leadership change in Congress, specifically pointing to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He also warned potential Republican presidential candidates, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, against running against him in 2024, saying it would not “be good for the party.”

Reflecting on his administration from 2017 to 2021 and people he tapped to serve in top cabinet posts, Trump said, “I never did this before.”

“Part of the problem was that I wasn’t a Washington person,” Trump said. “You have to rely on people — I had a lot of great people, but I had to rely on people who were RINOs.” (Read more from “Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024” HERE)

Enraged Biden Takes Out Midterm Anger on Staffer: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden let his anger over Democrats’ projected midterm losses boil over and lost his temper on a high ranking staffer, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

Reports of the outburst come as Democrats take turns pointing fingers over the expected red wave in Tuesday’s elections. Biden is known for letting his anger flare in front of aides, and he reportedly lost his temper at Brian Deese, director of Biden’s National Economic Council. Bloomberg reported, citing three anonymous sources, though a White House spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Chief of Staff Ron Klain disputed the report.

Biden was also reportedly angry that aides had told him inflation was “transitory” as prices have remained sky-high over the past several months.

The economy is performing poorly under Deese’s leadership, while numerous polls have also found that the economy is the most important issue for voters and that Americans trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle the economy.

Biden has publicly aired his anger on several other recent occasions: he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch” in January, and he snapped at a group of protesters and called them “idiots” at a Saturday campaign event in Illinois.

Voters Say View From White House Is Largely Divorced From What’s Happening in Their Lives

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s insistence that the economy is strong — and certainly not in a recession — rang hollow Tuesday to voters who said the view from Pennsylvania Avenue is largely divorced from what they see in their lives.

At polling places across the country, voters were signaling worries about the direction of Washington, which for the last two years has seen Democrats control the levers of political power.

The pain of inflation ran deep, with roughly three-quarters of voters telling exit pollsters rising prices have affected them — particularly at the grocery store. Many of them said their own personal financial situation had worsened over the last two years.

Mr. Biden seemed to take the brunt of the blame, garnering a 41% favorability rating in the early exit polling returns for most of the broadcast networks. A separate poll by The Associated Press and Fox News showed a similar low approval rating.

Less than a quarter of voters thought the economy is in good shape, and 7 in 10 weren’t satisfied with the direction of the country, including a third in the networks’ preliminary exit polling who were downright angry.

Kamala’s Husband Tells Dems to Get in Line if Biden Quits Before 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband has told Democrats that the party should rally behind her if President Joe Biden chooses not to seek reelection in 2024, according to a new report.

The effort by second gentleman Doug Emhoff to box out Harris’s potential future rivals “causes eye-rolling” inside the White House and comes as some officials question the vice president’s prospects going into 2024, Politico reported Tuesday.

While West Wing officials “believe Harris is on stronger footing now than she was in her first year [they] remain skeptical about her viability in 2024,” the outlet said. (Read more from “Kamala’s Husband Tells Dems to Get in Line if Biden Quits Before 2024” HERE)

Bomb Threat at Louisiana Polling Location; Site Moved, Secretary of State Reports

/0 Comments/in , /by

A bomb threat reported at a Louisiana polling location has led to a change of venue and increased security, according to the secretary of state.

Louisana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin announced the change of the polling location from the Kenner Discovery Health Sciences Academy on Loyola Drive in Baton Rouge to Audubon Elementary School on Tuesday.

“I am exceedingly grateful to Kenner Chief of Police Keith Conley and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto for their prompt response and thorough investigation, which appears to show that this was never targeted toward voters or election workers. I also applaud our department’s elections staff and Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court Jon Gegenheimer for this quick response to move the location and inform voters of the emergency move,” Ardoin said in a statement.

Personnel have been stationed at the original location to direct voters to the new venue. Voters signed up for electronic notifications were notified by email.

“It was not a threat to elections, voters or election workers,” John Tobler, a spokesman for the Louisiana secretary of state, said, according to Fox News.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hell Freezes Over

: *CNN* Fact Checks Biden’s Midterm Misinfo; Biden Promises Climate Activist: ‘No More Drilling’… but Days Ago He Blamed Oil Companies for Not Drilling Enough

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden has made several false or misleading claims while campaigning for congressional Democrats before the Midterm Elections, according to CNN. . .

However, left-wing CNN highlighted several instances on Saturday where the president made false or misleading statements in October and November. . .

CLAIM: On Thursday in New Mexico, Biden stated former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts only benefited the top one percent, a claim he also made at this year’s State of the Union address.

VERDICT: While the tax cuts benefited top earners, middle-class Americans also received significant tax cuts in the following years after the legislation was signed. As Breitbart News’s John Carney writes:

Eighty-two percent of American middle-class households received a tax cut and Americans altogether received an average tax cut of $1,260. Ninety percent of Americans saw an increase in take-home pay. The tax cuts raised wage growth by 3.3 percent and helped foster historic lows in unemployment.

Biden Promises Climate Activist at Rally in New York: ‘No More Drilling’… but Days Ago He Blamed Oil Companies for Not Drilling Enough

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden told a climate activist on Sunday he would not allow any new drilling in the United States, just days after he complained that oil companies are not drilling enough.

“No more drilling. There is no more drilling,” Biden said, speaking to a climate activist as he finished up a rally in New York for Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY). “I haven’t formed any new drilling.”

A young woman standing front and center held up a sign protesting Biden for allowing drilling on federal lands. . .

Biden’s comment to the climate activist differed from his statements on Wednesday when he blamed oil companies for not drilling enough.

“We haven’t slowed them down at all. They should be drilling more than they’re doing now,” he said at a rally in New Mexico. “If they were drilling more, we’d have more relief at the pump.” (Read more from “Biden Promises Climate Activist at Rally in New York: ‘No More Drilling’… but Days Ago He Blamed Oil Companies for Not Drilling Enough” HERE)

Poll Worker Reportedly Ousted for Pre-Selecting Democrats on Machines

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Indiana election office reportedly ejected a Democrat poll worker over allegations that he had pressured poll-goers against voting for certain candidates and even pre-selected Democratic candidates on a voting machine last week, local election officials told Fox News.

The incidents took place at a polling place in Carmel, Indiana, under the Hamilton County Election Office. Hamilton County election administrator Beth Sheller declined to confirm the poll worker’s identity in an interview with Fox News Digital, but detailed a report from the inspector at the polling location.

Sheller stated that the inspector had learned of two separate incidents that may constitute electioneering and election interference. The poll worker, first identified by Chalkboard Review executive director Tony Kinnett as James Zheng, is now reportedly being investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, and Sheller says she hopes to see Zheng prosecuted.

The first incident took place early Thursday evening as a group of education activists stood outside the Carmel polling place and advocated for pro-parent school board candidates. Sheller says the worker spoke with a pair of black voters who entered the polling station and urged them not to vote for the pro-parent candidates, arguing that the activists outside were “racist.”

That pair of voters then cast their ballots and approached the activists outside, informing them of what the poll worker had told them. The activists, which included a campaign worker for one of the candidates, then raised the issue with the workers inside.

China Is Attempting to Influence Us Kids by Offering an ‘Opium Version’ of TikTok, Expert Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese government offers its children a more limited, beneficial version of the popular app TikTok than the “opium version” offered to kids in the United States, an expert said in a recent report.

Tristan Harris, co-founder of the Center for Humane Technology, told “60 Minutes” Saturday that, according to TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, the version of TikTok given to Chinese consumers provides children with a vastly different experience. The Chinese equivalent of TikTok, Douyin, gives kids under 14 years old a 40-minute daily limit and serves them patriotic and educational content.

“They don’t ship that version of TikTok to the rest of the world,” Harris said. “It’s almost like they recognize that technology’s influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach version of TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the U.S. and the rest of the world.”
