Paul Rips Trump for Endorsing ‘Worst Deep State Candidate This Cycle’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) ripped former President Trump on Monday for endorsing former House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers’s (R-Mich.) bid for Senate, slamming the former congressman as the “worst Deep State candidate this cycle.”

“Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle. @MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump,” Paul posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice? Who’s next, John Bolton?” he asked, referring to Trump’s former national security adviser, who has become one of the former president’s harshest critics.

Trump announced Monday he is backing Rogers, who is favored to win the Republican nomination to run for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).

Rogers is also backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. NRSC Chair Steve Daines (Mont.) has worked closely with Trump to advance candidates favored by Senate GOP leadership to the general election.

CNN Refuses to Air State of the Union Ad Blaming Biden for Murder of Laken Riley (VIDEO)

CNN refused to air a conservative group’s State of the Union ad that blamed President Joe Biden for the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

Building America’s Future said Friday that major media networks, including Fox News, MSNBC, and Newsmax, all accepted the ad. CNN ultimately rejected it, however.

“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again: they won’t even #sayhername,” Building America’s Future advisor Phil Cox said in a statement provided to National Review.

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad,” Cox added. “The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley. Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

The news was first shared by Fox News commentator Guy Benson on X: “I am told that CNN is refusing to air this. They ran out the clock on a pre-SOTU ad buy — then rejected it, calling several of its claims unsubstantiated. Fox and MSNBC aired it.”

In response to National Review’s request for comment, a CNN spokesperson confirmed that the ad failed to meet the network’s commercial clearance guidelines and policies because its claims were unsubstantiated.

Psychiatrist Sees Signs Biden Was Medicated for State of the Union Performance

A psychiatrist who has worked with elderly dementia patients said President Biden exhibited signs of stimulant use to mask cognitive decline in his amped-up, aggressive State of the Union speech on Thursday.

Mr. Biden, 81, often raced through his remarks with the speed of an auctioneer, loudly shouting his words despite having a microphone in front of him.

Speed and volume of speech can be a sign of using Adderall or another amphetamine, said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California.

“If you look at how Joe Biden usually is — slow and stumbling — compared to how he was during the State of the Union — fiery and angry — these are signs that are typical for someone taking Adderall or any amphetamine,” she said.

Dr. Lieberman, who has not personally examined the president, said the signs of potential pharmaceutical use go beyond how Mr. Biden spoke during the nearly 90-minute speech, but also in his mannerisms.

Trump’s Driver on J6 Disputes Infamous Claim POTUS Tried to Grab Steering Wheel to Go to Capitol: Report

Former President Donald Trump’s driver disputed the infamous claim that the former president tried to grab the steering wheel from him on Jan. 6, 2021, and go to the U.S. Capitol, according to a transcript obtained by The New York Times (NYT).

Following his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump reportedly entered his armored vehicle and began discussing how big the crowd was at his address. Trump then said that he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol, the president’s driver said in an interview with House lawmakers, according to The NYT. Trump’s lead Secret Service agent Robert Engel told the president that such a move was not possible because they did not have the plans to do so, the driver told The NYT. At no point did Trump yell at the driver to go to the Capitol nor did he lunge for the steering wheel, the driver reportedly testified.

“The president was insistent on going to the Capitol,” the driver said in the transcript, according to The NYT. “It was clear to me he wanted to go to the Capitol. He was not screaming at Mr. Engel. He was not screaming at me. Certainly his voice was raised, but it did not seem to me that he was irate — certainly not, certainly didn’t seem as irritated or agitated as he had on the way to the Ellipse.”

The driver’s testimony contradicts that of Cassidy Hutchinson’s, a former White House aid to Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Hutchinson previously testified that she had heard that the former president had reached for the steering wheel the day of the Capitol riot. Hutchinson told House investigators that Trump had ordered his deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato and Engel to take him to the Capitol before then reaching for the steering wheel from the backseat and grabbing Engel by the clavicle.

“I did not see him reach,” the driver told investigators, The NYT reported. “He never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all. You know, what stood out was the irritation in his voice, more than his physical presence.” (Read more from “Trump’s Driver on J6 Disputes Infamous Claim POTUS Tried to Grab Steering Wheel to Go to Capitol: Report” HERE)

High School Asks Student to Remove American Flag From Truck. It Doesn’t End Well

Authorities at a rural high school in southeastern Indiana apologized after a social media post about them asking a student to take down the U.S. national flag from his truck last Thursday on the campus went viral, according to reports.

The counselor and vice-principal of East Central High School in St. Leon summoned the student, Cameron Blasek, over the matter, and threatened him with insubordination if he did not remove the flag from his truck, local outlet The 765 reported. Principal Thomas Black reportedly also told him the school had the right to request him to take down the flag.

“I kind of just told them straight up from the get-go, I said, ‘It’s not gonna happen,’” Blasek recalled, FOX News reported. “I read them their own handbook and I read them all the guidelines and I read them Indiana State laws and everything that shows them that I’m perfectly legal and fine to fly that flag.”

The only mention of the word “flag” in the school’s handbook was the flag twirling section, WKRC reported.

The school claimed to have the right to the request since Blasek’s truck was on the school’s premises, and the school can enforce a rule, even if unwritten, on a case-by-case basis, the school authorities reportedly replied to Blasek.

School Forces Girl to Say Explicit Language in Graphic Sexual Assignment

A federal lawsuit against a Nevada school system over a teacher’s demands that a student read an offensive, sexually explicit and obscene script – written by another student – is continuing.

The American Center for Law and Justice reports the court denied in part the school’s demands that the case be dismissed. . .

“Our clients’ daughter, who was 15 at the time, was required to perform a sexually explicit monologue prepared by another student, and edited by the teacher, before the entire class.”

It began, “I don’t love you. It’s not you, it’s just (looks down) your d***. I don’t like your d*** or any d*** in that case.” . . .

The parents “tried several different avenues to bring their concerns to the school but found it unresponsive to their requests and complaints. Ultimately, a lawsuit was filed against the school district, and the ACLJ, alongside Lex Tecnica Ltd. (a firm committed to protecting students, parents, and teachers from the Clark County School District), represented this family in federal court,” the ACLJ said.

Here Were Some of Trump’s Best Posts About Biden’s Unhinged State of the Union

By Townhall. It’ll never happen, but if our elections were solely fought in the arena of social media, Joe Biden would get slaughtered. Biden’s team had that ‘Dark Brandon’ creation, but it never went anywhere because Biden is old, weak, and can’t remember when his son died. Trump’s team has brutalized this White House, including mocking Biden and Nancy walking together—they spliced a nursing home into the video to make it seem like a Visiting Angels commercial.

While his Twitter account has been restored, Trump solely uses his Truth Social platform. He was live-blogging Biden’s unhinged State of the Union address last night, and it was more entertaining than anything Joe had to say last night. The bombastic, partisan speech was marketed as some comeback for Biden. Give it time; all it takes is for him to fall again for voters to realize he’s too old to be president.

From Biden’s machismo in standing up to Putin, which was ridiculous, to the economy, immigration, and the rule of law, Trump was there to slap down all of Biden’s lies:

Here’s Why Biden’s Unscripted Moment Freaked out Democrats

By Townhall. . .President Joe Biden finally referenced Laken Riley’s name, sort of, during Thursday’s State of the Union address. He referred to her as “Lincoln Riley,” acknowledging she was “an innocent young woman who was killed, by an illegal, that’s right!” The accused killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, is here illegally from Venezuela. The official White House transcript indicates that Riley wasn’t mentioned in the prepared remarks. We can thus thank Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for Biden acknowledging that Riley “was killed by an illegal.” Yet Democratic members and other liberals went nuts that the president would dare to use that term.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was among them. During her appearance on CNN right after the speech, she insisted Biden “should have said undocumented,” adding, “We usually say undocumented.” Her response came as Dana Bash pointed out she wasn’t even asking what Pelosi thought about the term the president used.

There were those even more enthusiastically outraged at Biden, including and especially over social media. Many of them are members of Congress or state legislatures.

WATCH: Protesters Destroy ‘Historic Painting’

Pro-Palestinian protesters destroyed a century-old painting of a British lord responsible for helping the Jews secure Israel as their homeland, according to Palestinian Action.

The painting was of Lord Arthur James Balfour, a former foreign secretary of the United Kingdom, and sits at Trinity College of the University of Cambridge. One protester with the group Palestinian Action spray painted the artwork Friday before slashing the ‘historic painting’ into pieces with a blade, according to a statement from the protesters.

“An activist slashed the homage and sprayed the artwork with red paint, symbolising the bloodshed of the Palestinian people since the Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917,” the group wrote. “Arthur Balfour, then UK foreign secretary, issued a declaration which promised to build “a national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, where the majority of the indigenous population were not Jewish. He gave away the Palestinians homeland — a land that wasn’t his to give away. ”

Police Slam ‘Disgusting’ Gang That Tortured and Murdered 20-Year-Old Mother

Alabama police have slammed eight suspects accused of beating, raping and shooting to death a 20-year-old mother in a ‘killing that shocks the conscience’.

Mahogany Jackson was stripped, handcuffed, spit on and forced to perform sex acts at gunpoint in a Birmingham apartment before being shot in the back of the head on Sunday February 25.

Prosecutors say she was tortured by four male and four female ‘acquaintances’ who filmed sections of the attack and shared them on social media.

Mahogany’s mother has pleaded with people to stop sending her the videos, saying: ‘We are suffering enough that’s my child’.

Her pleas were backed up by Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr who said: ‘To see it reenacted on a video – it almost places you there, and then to see people share it over and over, and I know some people may be sharing it for entertainment value or whatever, which is sad in and of itself.’ (Read more from “Alabama Police Slam ‘Disgusting’ Gang That Tortured and Murdered 20-Year-Old Mother” HERE)
