Nancy Pelosi’s Staff Demands Takedown of ‘Deceptively Altered’ Video of Her SOTU Tantrum; Trump Rally Crowd Chants ‘Lock Her up’ About Pelosi (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. A video shared by President Trump showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tearing apart the State of the Union address has amassed over 18 million views on social media despite her allies’ efforts to convince platforms to remove it.

The video, posted by the president last week, shows Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union address and highlights memorable moments of the speech, such as Trump honoring 100-year-old Tuskegee Airman Gen. Charles McGee. It has now surpassed 11 million views on Twitter, 3.1 million views on Facebook, and 4.1 million views on Instagram:

The video, titled “Powerful American Stories Ripped To Shreds By Nancy Pelosi,” has drawn criticism from Democrats, who claim it is misleading:

Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill asserted that the video was “deliberately designed to mislead and lie to the American people” and blasted social media platforms for failing to remove it.

“The American people know that the President has no qualms about lying to them — but it is a shame to see Twitter and Facebook, sources of news for millions, do the same,” Hammill wrote, adding that the refusal to remove the video “is another reminder that they care more about their shareholders’ interests than the public’s interests”:

By Fox News. Supporters at President Trump’s rally in New Hampshire on Monday chanted “lock her up” about Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

The chant broke out as Trump complained about Pelosi’s conduct during his State of the Union address last week.

Claim: White House Reportedly Identified, Will Remove ‘Anonymous’ Resistance Official

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The anonymous member of the Trump administration who penned a scathing anti-Trump op-ed in the New York Times, asserted his or her position as a member of the “resistance,” and went on to write a tell-all book has been pinpointed by the administration and will be removed, former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova claimed on Monday.

DiGenova, who is not a Trump administration official, claims that a senior government official informed him that the Trump administration has identified the senior official behind the infamous “resistance” op-ed, which was published in the Times in 2018.

“Remember that article in the New York Times by ‘Anonymous,’ which was written allegedly by someone inside the administration? I am told that soon there will be someone else leaving the White House who wrote that article,” he told WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall host Vince Coglianese on Monday.

“Apparently, they have identified ‘Anonymous,’ and we were told that — Victoria and I were at a dinner with a senior government official last week — and were told that by this person. They have, in fact, identified ‘Anonymous.’”

DiGenova would not say if the official was part of the National Security Council (NSC), telling Coglianese, “I don’t want to give out too much information and reveal the source of the information.” (Read more from “Claim: White House Reportedly Identified, Will Remove ‘Anonymous’ Resistance Official” HERE)

Venezuelan Americans Warn U.S. Voters in Powerful Video: Bernie Is Your Enemy

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While some members of the media go to great lengths to argue that U.S. democratic socialists are not the same as Latin American socialists, many Venezuelan-Americans see little difference between the two.

Hundreds of Venezuelan ex-pats that gathered for a “Venezuela Freedom Rally” in Washington, D.C. had a warning for their fellow Americans: Don’t do it!

According to Campus Reform which covered the event, attendees were deeply troubled that so many Americans view socialism favorably and that a self-described “democratic socialist” has a credible chance of becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2020. . .

“Bernie Sanders is your enemy. Do not ever, ever get involved with this individual or any of the other socialists,” said one man who added: “You do not ever want anyone even close to socialism to come to this country.” . . .

Meanwhile, a young woman said that Americans should not fool themselves into believing that socialism cannot happen in the United States. “We also thought that this could never happen in our country. We had a balance of powers. We had democracy and we elected our leaders,” she said while draped in a Venezuelan flag.

Two Medal of Honor Recipients Sound off on Alexander Vindman

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Sunday, Medal of Honor recipient Leroy Petry appeared on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” where he discussed Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who was escorted out of the White House on Friday. . .

“I respect Donald Trump’s actions on escorting [Vindman] out of the White House, because he, as a team player, he should have brought it up through the chain of command, and then blown the whistle if it didn’t get approved,” Perry told “Fox & Friends” on Sunday. . .

Petry continued regarding Vindman, claiming he was dubbed a “chow thief” back at Ranger School and heard he “couldn’t be trusted.” . . .

Medal of Honor recipient David Bellavia added some commentary on Vindman, too. . .

Vindman is a very controversial guy, depending on your politics; you either love him or you hate him. Joe Biden gave him a standing ovation. Some people see him as just an emotional kid who just is so partisan and blinded by his politics that he jumped the chain of command and was blinded by being a part of history and politics are more important than his oath.

Second Impeachment Could Be on Horizon for Donald Trump; Trump Warns on Impeachment Payback

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Washington Times. Democrats already have lined up possible charges if they choose to pursue impeachment 2.0.

Still pending is a wide-open probe launched by Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat. Mr. Schiff has been investigating President Trump, his family and businesses, the Trump Organization, over the congressman’s suspicions of blackmail, money laundering and bribery.

Republican staffers say the inquiry was put on hold last fall pending the Ukraine impeachment proceedings led by Mr. Schiff. But there is no sign Mr. Schiff has given up trying to prove Mr. Trump is corrupt, and if the president is impeached again, the charges would likely come from this probe, informed sources said.

Mr. Trump alluded to a new impeachment push Thursday.

“So we will probably have to do it again, because these people have gone stone-cold crazy, but I have beaten him all my life and I will beat him again if I have to,” Mr. Trump said at a post-Senate acquittal celebration at the White House. “But what they are doing is very unfair.” (Read more from “Second Impeachment Could Be on Horizon for Donald Trump” HERE)

Trump Warns on Impeachment Payback: ‘You’ll See’

By NBC News. President Donald Trump said Friday that his impeachment should be invalidated, and he gave an ominous warning when asked how he’ll pay back those responsible, saying, “You’ll see.”

“Should they expunge the impeachment in the House? They should because it was a hoax,” Trump told reporters at the White House before departing on Marine One.

When asked about his press secretary’s comments that the president was suggesting in his remarks Thursday on impeachment that his Democratic political opponents “should be held accountable,” Trump said, “Well, you’ll see. I mean, we’ll see what happens.”

Trump showed little sign of wanting to mend fences with the Democrats, saying they suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome” and that there is “a lot of evil on that side.” When asked how he was going to unify the country following his divisive impeachment, Trump said he would do it by “great success.”

“Our country today is more successful than it has ever been, and that’s unifying the country,” he said. (Read more from “Trump Warns on Impeachment Payback: ‘You’ll See'” HERE)

TSA Agent Tricked Traveler Into Baring Breasts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal Transportation Security Administration agent tricked a traveler into twice showing him her breasts as she went through security at one of the world’s busiest airports, California’s attorney said.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Johnathon Lomeli, 22, was working at Los Angeles International Airport in June when he used fraud or deceit to falsely imprison the woman. Lomeli was arrested early Thursday at his home.

He first said he had to look inside her bra to make sure she wasn’t hiding anything, then had her hold her pants away from her waist so he could look inside, she told investigators.

He subsequently took her to what he said would be a private room for more security screening, according to an arrest affidavit. But once they were alone on an elevator, she said he told her he could do the screening right there.

The woman said Lomeli told her he had to make sure she still had nothing in her bra, requiring her to lift her shirt “to show me your full breasts.” He also again looked down her pants, she said, before telling her she was free to go and adding that she had nice breasts.

US Doc Claims “Close to 100,000” Coronavirus Cases Now in China; China Reports, Deletes, Then Again Reports Death of Wuhan Virus Whistleblower Doc

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Several Chinese state media outlets reported the death of Dr. Li Wenliang on Thursday, only to delete their reports a few hours later and publish new bulletins indicating he remains in critical condition at Wuhan Central Hospital.

No explanation was offered for why the death of Li, who was arrested for “spreading rumors” after providing one of the earliest warnings about the true danger of the coronavirus epidemic, was incorrectly reported by state-controlled media.

Li was one of eight people notoriously arrested in December for “rumor-mongering” by warning colleagues about the highly contagious nature of the Wuhan virus. He went on to contract the virus in January from one of his patients and has been hospitalized for several weeks.

His death was widely reported on Thursday morning, to the great dismay of the Chinese public, which expressed anger that a heroic whistleblower died from the coronavirus after suffering mistreatment by the authorities, and fear that a 34-year-old man in seemingly good health could die from the disease. According to official Chinese government reports, most of the roughly 560 people who have died from the Wuhan virus to date were elderly or had serious medical conditions before they contracted the disease.

The first indication of Li’s death was a Twitter post from China’s state-run Global Times, which would have been intended for an international audience since Twitter is banned in China. The tweet has since been deleted, along with various stories in Chinese media about his death including a post by the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, the People’s Daily.

Doctor Claims There Are ‘Probably Close to 100,000’ Coronavirus Cases in China

By Fox News. Fox News medical correspondent Dr. Marc Siegel joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Thursday to give an update on the coronavirus outbreak following the death of a Chinese doctor who first brought public attention to the virus.

Wuhan Central Hospital ophthalmologist Li Wenliang, 34, reportedly shared his concerns about the illness via private chat with medical school graduates in December after several patients exhibited symptoms similar to SARS before he was visited and warned by authorities. He was then summoned to the local Public Security Bureau where he was forced to sign a letter stating that he made false comments about the virus, the BBC reported. Authorities later apologized. . .

The novel coronavirus has sickened more than 31,000 people worldwide and resulted in at least 638 deaths. About 99 percent of cases have occurred in mainland China, although one death has been reported in the Philippines and a second has been reported in Hong Kong.

Siegel told Carlson that he believed the death toll to be much higher than the number Chinese authorities have reported, offering a number close to “100,000” cases. (Read more from “Doctor Claims There Are ‘Probably Close to 100,000’ Coronavirus Cases in China” HERE)

Donald Trump Prayer Breakfast: Social Media Furious Over President’s Comments After Impeachment Acquittal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Pop Culture. President Donald Trump’s remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning are inciting social media. Just hours after the Senate acquitted him on two articles of impeachment, the president attended the annual event, slamming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Mitt Romney in a scathing speech. Trump did not, however, directly name his political rivals, though his words are still causing controversy online.

Taking the stage after Arthur Brooks encouraged those in attendance to “love your enemies” and set aside “contempt” for others, Trump said that, “I don’t know if I agree with you” before jumping into his scathing speech.

Beginning his speech by stating that “my family, our great country, and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people” who have “done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation,” the president went on to target Pelosi and Romney, who became the only Republican to cross party lines when he voted to convict Trump on Article I. . .

Just minutes later, social media lit up with backlash, many slamming the president for using the annual event, meant to allow those gathered to pray and reflect on their faith, as a means to attack his political rivals and speak out about the impeachment trial.

Trump Complimented Jim Jordan’s Physique and Said His Ears ‘Have Something Going on’ During Rambling Post-Impeachment Speech

By Business Insider. President Donald Trump singled out Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, complimenting the congressman’s physical fitness during a White House speech celebrating the end of the impeachment trial on Thursday.

“When I first got to know Jim, I’d say, huh, he never wears a jacket — he’s obviously very proud of his body,” Trump said. . .

The president joked that the exercise machines in the congressional gym “start burning” when Jordan uses them.

“Those ears have something going on there,” Trump said of Jordan, possibly referring to cauliflower ear. “This guy was a champion top, top wrestler.” (Read more from “Trump Complimented Jim Jordan’s Physique and Said His Ears ‘Have Something Going on’ During Rambling Post-Impeachment Speech” HERE)

‘Christian’ Buttigieg Refuses to Say He Does Not Support Infanticide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg refused Thursday to say whether he supports infanticide.

Buttigieg spoke with The View’s Meghan McCain regarding his stance on abortions Thursday morning. McCain reminded Buttigieg that he once suggested that unborn babies can be aborted up until they draw their first breath, and offered Buttigieg a chance to walk back this statement, noting that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s infanticide comments have accelerated the discussion of when a woman should be able to have an abortion. . .

“I’m just pointing to the fact that different people will interpret their own moral lights, and for that matter, interpret scripture differently,” he said. “But we live in a country where it is extremely important that no one person has to be subjected to some other person’s interpretation of their own religion.”

The 2020 presidential candidate added that his point was that “it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line. It should be up to the woman.” . . .

“Think about the situation. If this is a late-term situation, then by definition it’s one where a woman was expecting to carry the pregnancy to term. Then she gets the most perhaps devastating news of her life. We’re talking about families that may have picked out a name, maybe assembling a crib and they learn something, excruciating, and are faced with this terrible choice,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor said.

Watch the Moment the Senate ACQUITTED Donald Trump; Impeachment Verdict: How the Senators Voted; Liberals Meltdown Across the U.S.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. More than four months of impeachment drama culminated with the acquittal of President Donald Trump.

Pundits and politicians have speculated about Trump’s impeachment since before he was even elected, and an impeachment inquiry was officially launched in September 2019 by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Since then, there have been dozens of hearings into Trump’s now-infamous July 25th phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, but it all came to an end Wednesday when the Senate acquitted the president on one count of abuse of power and another count of obstruction of justice.

Anti-Trump Protests Held Across the U.S. Following Impeachment Acquittal

By The Week. Thousands of demonstrators attended “Reject the Cover-Up” protests across the United States on Wednesday evening, after the Senate impeachment trial ended with President Trump’s acquittal. . .

Hundreds gathered outside of the Capitol, where Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) declared, “I will focus my ire on Senate Republicans.
