Movement Re-Engages for Donald Trump Re-Election; Media Admits No One Showed up to Anti-Trump Rallies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Americans nationwide are preparing for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign official launch on Tuesday evening in Orlando, Florida, by planning watch parties–hundreds of them–from coast to coast for those who cannot trek down to the Sunshine State rally but want to watch as part of a community.

From Maine to Alabama, from Washington, D.C., to New Hampshire, from North Carolina to Florida, from Nevada to Minnesota, and in so many other places nationwide, Trump supporters are holding watch parties for the president’s rally on Tuesday evening officially launching his re-election campaign in 2020.

Trump is expected to take stage right at primetime, at 8:00 p.m. ET, and many of these parties are beginning around 7:30 or some even earlier. Some are hosted by Republican officials, or Trump campaign officials, others by conservative groups–and some just by ardent Trump supporters doing so on their own. . .

The RNC’s Mike Reed, in a follow-up memo, wrote that “the numbers and enthusiasm we are witnessing is absolutely astounding – So far, over 250 training events are planned which will train a total of over 4,400 people. And over 700 MAGA meet-ups are planned, hosting nearly 12,000 attendees, to watch President Trump’s rally tomorrow night.”

Reed compares this to the Democrat side of the aisle, which has plans to train just 1,000 college students in a year’s time, according to a report in The Hill newspaper, which he scoffs at, noting that Republicans have done more in a week than Democrats are aiming to do in a year.

797 Trump Reelection ‘Watch Parties’ Set, Six Times the Number of #ImpeachTrump Events

By Washington Examiner. Hundreds of “watch parties” and Trump-Pence reelection training events are set to take place Tuesday as President Trump announces his bid for a second term at a massive rally in Orlando, Fla., according to campaign officials.

A total of 797 events are already planned to focus on the president’s announcement, and they will occur in every state, plus Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

That number dwarfs the 133 “#ImpeachTrump Day of Action” events Saturday that were sparsely attended, including one in front of the White House, prompting a mocking tweet from the president.

WATCH: AOC Has Shocking Revelations About Biden and Clinton’s Scandals with Women

/0 Comments/in , , /by

During a Sunday morning interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) discussed various topics with Jon Karl. Two areas they focused on: whether or not former Vice President Joe Biden can woo female voters after allegations of sexual harassment and if Democrats gave former President Bill Clinton a “pass” on his treatment of women.

“So, Joe Biden appears to be the frontrunner according to all the polls,” Jon Karl said. “Do you think he has sufficiently answered the accusations from women who accused him of in appropriate touching? Does he, in short, does he get it?”

“I think that’s something that he has to show the electorate. I think that it is an issue where it’s a struggle. I’ll be completely honest. I don’t think that he has- I wouldn’t say that it is an incredibly severe, like I don’t think that voters think that he’s necessarily guilty of sexual misconduct or anything like that but I do think that there may be some discomfort, especially seeing some clips this week and the week before, telling the 13-year-old, telling her brothers to watch out for her,” Ocasio-Cortez explained. “I think there are somethings with female voters that it’s just not quite locked down. I think that there’s some ways to go but this is all solely cultural evolution that we’re having as a country, so I don’t necessarily think it’s about being punitive in these ways. But I do think, like in all issues and with all demographics and will all electorates, it’s not about right and wrong sometimes. It’s about what they’re feeling, like someone gets it or not.”

“I don’t think he’s necessarily convinced all women,” she said.

Biden Suggests Using Violence to Deal with Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. . .

“Joy, I know you’re one of the ones who thinks it’s naive to think we have to work together,” Biden responded. “The fact of the matter is if we can’t get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.”

“There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight,” Biden continued, later adding: “Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it.”

2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters

By The Hill. Democrats seeking to cut into former Vice President Joe Biden’s lead with black voters addressed the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington on Monday, each making the case that they’re best equipped to address racial economic inequality in the U.S.

Biden and eight other Democratic presidential candidates spoke at Trinity Washington University, a predominantly black school on the northeast side of the city, where they detailed how they’d address the “systemic racism” they said had led to unfair economic outcomes for racial minorities.

Over the past few days, the Democratic contenders have proposed a raft of new policy ideas, from expunging criminal records for marijuana arrests to setting up multibillion-dollar funds to support minority-run businesses.

The proposals are aimed at winning over black voters, a key Democratic constituency that will play a major role in determining the party’s nominee, particularly in the early-voting state of South Carolina. (Read more from “2020 Democrats Look to Cut into Biden’s Lead with Black Voters” HERE)

Jesse Watters: Democratic Debate Lineups Put Elizabeth Warren in Unique Spot

By Fox News. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., appears to be the only top-tier Democratic candidate featured on the first of the two-night debates, according to Jesse Watters.

Warren’s position in the randomly selected debate placements puts her in a unique spot, Watters claimed Friday on “The Five.”

“With Liz Warren, it could go either way,” he said. “She could feel like she is left out and everyone is going to be punching up and attacking her constantly,” he continued, referring to the other candidates featured the first night – June 26 in Miami.

“Or, she could shine and she could really come out – and the media [would] all say Liz Warren obviously cleaned up in that first debate,” the “Watters’ World” host added. (Read more from “Jesse Watters: Democratic Debate Lineups Put Elizabeth Warren in Unique Spot” HERE)

New U.S. City Council Member: I Will Usher in Communism ‘by Any Means Necessary’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newly elected far-left Denver City Council member Candi CdeBaca has stated that she is “excited to usher” in communism “by any means necessary.”

CdeBaca, who won in an upset runoff election earlier this month, said in late March during a candidate forum for City Council District 9:

I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited, that’s land, labor or resources.

And I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new. And I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources.

And so, whatever that morphs into I think is what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary. [Emphasis added]

LOL: Here’s How Many People Attended Swalwell’s Gun Confiscation Speech

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Roughly 18 people attended Democrat presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) speech Monday near the National Rifle Association (NRA) headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.

On June 14, Breitbart News reported that Swalwell would be delivering a speech on his gun controls near the NRA headquarters.

A video published by Politico shows that Swalwell used the speech to push confiscatory laws for AR-15s and other commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles, as well as a repeal of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). That act protects gun manufacturers from suits in cases considered frivolous, such as when a legally manufactured and legally sold gun is stolen and used in a crime.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Eric Swalwell Releases Gun Control Plan

By CBS News. Rep. Eric Swalwell released an extensive gun violence prevention plan Monday that includes an assault-style rifle ban and buyback and new legal requirements for gun ownership.

Swalwell, a Democratic presidential candidate, has repeatedly said his presidential platform would be centered on gun violence prevention, and on Monday called for significant investments in mental health and safety programs. The plan does not go as far as some other Democratic gun control plans, such as Sen. Cory Booker’s proposal, which would require potential gun owners to go through a process that includes an interview, passing a gun safety course and background check, and being fingerprinted.

Swalwell’s plan calls for those who refuse to give up their assault rifles to be prosecuted unless they keep those guns at hunting lodges or shooting ranges. He also took aim at gun manufactures, saying the Protection for Lawful Commerce in Guns Act, a federal law that protects gun manufacturers from civil liability, should be repealed. Additionally, he said gun companies should be forced to stop manufacturing assault-style rifles. . .

But Swalwell’s plan also includes the creation of a national firearm registry, a policy pro-gun groups like the NRA have long opposed. (Read more from “Democratic Presidential Candidate Eric Swalwell Releases Gun Control Plan” HERE)

Alaska Supreme Court Rules State Sex Offender Registry Law Unconstitutional

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Alaska Supreme Court ruled that a state law requiring the registry of all sex offenders is unconstitutional because it violates offenders’ rights to due process. The ruling was issued Friday.

In a 3-2 decision, the court said an offender must be given the chance to prove he or she is rehabilitated and no longer remains a threat to the public.

“Our decision requiring an individualized risk-assessment hearing is based on the judicial power,” the court wrote in its opinion. If an offender “can show at a hearing that he does not pose a risk requiring registration, then there is no compelling reason requiring him to register, and the fact that ASORA does not provide for such a hearing means that the statute is unnecessarily broad.”

The court, however, upheld a lower court ruling mandating the registration of sex offenders upon moving to Alaska if they were required to register in another state as well.

The Alaska Sex Offender Registry Act requires sex offenders to register with law enforcement 30 days before being released from jail or prison or within a day of a conviction where the sentence doesn’t include jail time.

Here’s the Gun Control Bill That Could Destroy the Firearm Industry

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. Democrats in Congress introduced legislation Tuesday that seeks to repeal legal protections for firearm manufacturers, opening the door for shooting victims to sue companies that create firearms. . .

The bill, titled, “The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act,” seeks to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, a 2005 law that immunizes the firearm industry from civil liability in both state and federal courts.

“[The bill] will allow civil cases to go forward against irresponsible actors in state and federal courts, just as they would if they involved any other product. Letting courts hear these cases would provide victims of gun violence their day in court,” reads a press release about the bill.

The bill is sponsored by Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in the House and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in the Senate. The lawmakers claim “numerous cases” have been dismissed on the basis of the PLCAA “even when the gun makers and sellers acted in a fashion that would qualify as negligent if it involved any other product.”

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, Schiff said Tuesday that “responsible actors in the gun industry don’t need this limitation on liability,” according to NPR. (Read more from “Dems Push Backdoor Gun Control Bill That Could Destroy the Firearm Industry” HERE)

Democrats Introduce Bill Allowing Shooting Victims to Sue Gun Industry

By NPR. . .The Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act aims to repeal federal protections blocking firearm and ammunition manufacturers, dealers and trade groups from most civil lawsuits when a firearm is used unlawfully or in a crime.

Those protections date to 2005, with the passage of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. . .

PLCAA was signed into law by then-President George W. Bush and championed by the gun industry, including the National Rifle Association.

Lawrence Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearms trade association, told NPR his organization “will certainly oppose this legislation.” He called the bill to repeal PLCAA “fundamentally unfair.”

“You would no more charge or blame Ford or General Motors for drunk driving accidents,” Keane said, adding that the current law is “working exactly how Congress intended it.” (Read more from “Democrats Introduce Bill Allowing Shooting Victims to Sue Gun Industry” HERE)

Trump Pulled the Biggest ‘Top Gun’ Moment the White House Has Ever Seen

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Caller. President Donald Trump had a full-on “Maverick” at the White House on Wednesday.

Just before a joint press conference with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, an F-35 Marine Corps fighter jet — the U.S. military’s most advanced aircraft — conducted the first flyover of the White House in more than 100 years. The aircraft also hovered above the White House, which is a skill unique to the Marine version of the fighter jet.

‘I Think I’d Take It’: In Interview, Trump Says He Would Listen If Foreigners Offered Dirt on Opponents

By NBC News. President Donald Trump said in an interview excerpt aired Wednesday that he might take help from a foreign government offering information on an opponent.

Trump made the comment to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos while discussing why his son, Donald Trump Jr., didn’t go to the FBI after he spoke with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump Jr. spoke to Congress for three hours Wednesday to discuss answers he gave in an interview to the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017, including those regarding emails leading up to the meeting which promised dirt on Democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump’s opponent.

The president told Stephanopoulos that “life doesn’t work that way” when asked why his son didn’t go to the FBI. Trump also said he would want to hear if another country had information on another candidate and called it “oppo research.”

“It’s not an interference, they have information,” Trump said. “I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI.” (Read more from “‘I Think I’d Take It’: In Interview, Trump Says He Would Listen If Foreigners Offered Dirt on Opponents” HERE)

Hilarious: Mini-AOC Releases ‘Re-Election Video’ Mocking the New York Congresswoman

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. Ava Martinez, the 8 year-old who impersonates Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released another video on Tuesday in which she mocks the freshman congresswoman’s knowledge of socialism.

“Hello, like, I’m AOC, because I can’t spell Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. So, it turns out socialism is not short for social media,” Martinez said, while wearing lipstick and glasses similar to the real Ocasio-Cortez.

“I should have known it wasn’t short for social media because the only other socialist is a 93-year-old man from Vermont,” she said, referring to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. “There’s no way Bernie’s Instagram is lit.”

The video accompanied a tweet listing a series of fake slogans that seemed to take shots at Ocasio-Cortez’s inexperience and her climate change warnings.

“AOC in 2023!” one slogan read, apparently implying that Ocasio-Cortez wouldn’t know when the next midterm election would occur. (Read more from “Mini-AOC Releases ‘Re-Election Video’ Mocking the New York Congresswoman” HERE)

GOP Leader, Ocasio-Cortez Give Boost to Lawmaker Pay Hike

By The Hill. Lawmakers say that any effort to give members of Congress a raise won’t pass unless both parties agree not to use the issue as a campaign weapon.

While no such agreement has been ironed out, there is a chance that there will be a bipartisan deal struck at some point this year.

Proponents of the pay hike acknowledge it’s not popular but argue that it is long overdue.

The effort got a significant boost Tuesday when House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) offered support for a pay bump, saying he doesn’t want Congress to be a place where only the wealthy can afford to serve.

Freshman progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), meanwhile, forcefully made a case to her nearly 4.5 million Twitter followers, defending giving members of Congress the cost-of-living adjustment. (Read more from “GOP Leader, Ocasio-Cortez Give Boost to Lawmaker Pay Hike” HERE)
