Trump Says He has a ‘Big Decision’ Coming up on Iran: ‘Do I Want to go in and Annihilate Them?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said Thursday that he was at a crossroads over whether to renew attacks in Iran to wipe out the regime and bring the war to an end.

“I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them or do I not?” he told Axios. “It’s a big decision. Anything could happen with me.”

Trump’s comments echo previous threats he’s levied against Tehran since the war began.

But this time, he said, his next move is likely to be influenced by his meetings with Gulf allies at next week’s United Nations General Assembly meeting.

“I want to find out where they are and how they are doing. We have been very protective of them,” Trump added.

Tensions are expected to be high at the gathering after the Iran-backed Houthis launched fierce attacks on Saudi Arabia this past week, threatening global oil and gas supplies. (Read more from “Trump Says He has a ‘Big Decision’ Coming up on Iran: ‘Do I Want to go in and Annihilate Them?’” HERE)

Chilling New Details about Trump Shooter Revealed in Bombshell FBI Docs: Emotionless Since Birth

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was born without making a sound on Sept. 20, 2003, a trait that would follow him right up to the end of his short life when the 20-year-old died in a hail of Secret Service gunfire seconds after missing Trump’s head with a bullet by a hairsbreadth.

“When Thomas was born he did not scream and he was always quiet from that point on,” his father, Matthew, told feds in newly unearthed documents about the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. . .

The trove of files includes FBI interviews with Thomas’ father, Matthew, who revealed he “never really had a father/son bond” with the gunman, and that his stoic son rarely expressed strong emotions, hardly laughed and was very difficult to read.

Thomas occasionally acted out in elementary school because “he was bored,” his father said, recalling one instance in which he damaged a desk and other school property in a bid for attention.

By the time he got to middle school, Matthew said both he and his wife, Mary, “thought Thomas had ADHD” and were concerned he had fallen in with a “bad” group of kids for a brief period.

Matthew’s frustration with his son’s dispassionate nature once boiled over at home after Thomas dumped an entire container of fish food into his sister’s betta tank after an argument.

Supreme Court Rejects Mail-in Voting Restrictions Ahead of Midterms in Blow to Trump Admin

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump ’s mail ballot restrictions for now, capping a flurry of last-minute legal action with voting in the midterm elections already underway.

The decision allows states to continue sending out mail ballots under the same processes they’ve used for years.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from the brief order. Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed that the restrictions should not go into effect for the midterms but indicated he might rule in favor of the Trump administration later.

The Trump administration had asked the court, once again at the center of a roiling political controversy, to clear the way for restrictions before the pivotal November contests for control of Congress. The case has major implications because nearly one-third of the country votes by mail.

Election officials have said there was simply no way to carry out a complete overhaul in the weeks before the midterms. Indeed, Alabama, North Carolina and Wisconsin began sending mail ballots to voters over the past week while the new system was still not active.

Trump calls AI risks a ‘hoax,’ says there is a ‘SICK conspiracy’ against AI and data centers

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Monday that he would be a sufficient guardrail against rogue artificial intelligence, claiming that any efforts to limit the technology is part of a “SICK conspiracy.”

Trump was pushing back against calls by tech leaders such as Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Elon Musk to have greater government oversight of AI. Many tech leaders generally say their goal is to develop the technology in ways that promote safety, address legal liability, feed economic growth, advance science and preserve national security.

The president maintained that his presence in the Oval Office should assuage any fears about AI, which has become a source of controversy after a series of hacks in recent months that showed AI agents could be working to deceive humans.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump posted on social media. (Read more from “Trump calls AI risks a ‘hoax,’ says there is a ‘SICK conspiracy’ against AI and data centers” HERE)

Trump Calls on Ukraine to Halt Strikes on Russian Diesel, Saying Attacks Causing Shortage

/1 Comment/in , /by

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.

Trump was asked by a reporter if he had spoken with Zelenskyy following his recent conversation with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Trump responded by calling on Zelenskyy to halt strikes against Russia.

“Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the Irish Open, which is being played at his Doonbeg golf club.

“Let him go after targets but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel fuel.” (Read more from “Trump Calls on Ukraine to Halt Strikes on Russian Diesel, Saying Attacks Causing Shortage” HERE)

Bread And Circus: Trump’s $5,000 Dividend Plan Sets Off Bond Market Turbulence, Inflation Fears

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night that if the GOP wins the midterm election, over an estimated trillion dollars will be spent on giving “dividends” to voters — as even many on the right raise concerns over how this could affect the bond market and inflation, with some calling it a straight-out bribe for Republican votes.

Trump announced the $5,000 checks to every American adult during his speech at the 2026 RNC Midterm Convention — in Dallas, Texas — with the caveat that the money must be spent in the U.S.

“So, if the Republicans win, you win with us, and you get $5,000,” Trump said. “It will be called the Trump Dividend.”

Funding for the checks aside, many, like Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale, said that although he is “hugely in favor of winning the midterms, and love[s] much about this admin,” he is “strongly against bread and circus bribes.”

A number of Democrat lawmakers are leveling a similar line of criticism, such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said that “Trump is trying to buy votes with taxpayer-funded blood money.” (Read more from “Bread And Circus: Trump’s $5,000 Dividend Plan Sets Off Bond Market Turbulence, Inflation Fears” HERE)

Trump Says There’s One Word He Doesn’t Believe In

President Donald Trump says there’s one word he does not believe in: “regret.”

Trump sat down for an interview on FOX News’s “The Ingraham Angle” broadcast Thursday, where host Laura Ingraham asked the president whether he had second thoughts about ordering military action against Iran as Republicans approach the midterms.

“I don’t believe in the word regret,” Trump replied. “You can always question yourself a little bit. A few people have asked me that. If I had it to do again, I’d do exactly as I did.”

Trump defended his decision by pointing to the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.

“I took out their nuclear capability,” Trump said. “Supposing we were cruising, and all of a sudden Iran has a nuclear weapon. They would use it. They are crazy. Okay, I deal with them. They’re crazy. They would use it. They would wipe out Israel; they would wipe out the Middle East; they would have started hitting a couple of our cities.” (Read more from “Trump Says There’s One Word He Doesn’t Believe In” HERE)

Joseph diGenova has resigned from his Justice Department role investigating the alleged “Grand Conspiracy” surrounding the Trump-Russia investigations, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Fox News has learned diGenova lost the confidence of both the Justice Department and the White House. According to sources familiar with the matter, he had been effectively sidelined well before his departure.

His resignation comes after months in which his role had diminished internally, ending his involvement in the investigation amid questions about his standing within both the administration and DOJ leadership. . .

He declined to comment further about the circumstances surrounding his departure.

DiGenova’s wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, who also joined the federal prosecution team in South Florida, is expected to leave the Justice Department on Friday, according to CBS News.

President Trump is spending Labor Day flooding his Truth Social account with AI-generated images about conquering both the Earth and outer space alike.

Trump on Monday posted a map of North America, where both Canada and Mexico are annexed to the United States — and shaded in stars and stripes.

He dropped several posts suggesting the state of New Mexico be renamed “New America.” The posts carried various maps bearing the new name.

In another, Trump claimed the moon for the United States.

Trump declaring himself the best leader ever was another theme.

He shared a ranking of US presidents, listing himself at the top as the “Greatest,” above “greats” Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.

Whopping 9 in 10 Americans Believe There’s ‘Widespread Corruption’ Within US Government: Gallup Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nearly 90% of Americans now believe there’s “widespread corruption” within the U.S. government, according to a recent poll.

The data came from a Gallup poll published Wednesday. For the survey, respondents were asked, “Is corruption widespread throughout the government in this country, or not?” According to Gallup, 89% of participants responded to the question with “Yes.”

That number, Gallup noted, was the highest it’s been in two decades. Additionally, the figure sat at 73% just two years earlier. That 16-point jump is the highest of any two-year span in the last 20 years.

That sentiment was shared among three major voting blocks, with 91% of Democrats, 90% of Independents, and a staggering 83% of Republicans believing in widespread corruption. Interestingly, Democrats saw a 15-point jump from the previous year. Republicans, on the other hand, had just a two-point increase, as 81% believed the government was corrupt in 2025.

With 2026’s high mark, President Donald Trump had three of the highest years on record when it comes to Americans’ perceptions of government corruption. Last year, 79% of Americans believed in widespread corruption. In 2018 — Trump’s first term — that number sat at 78%.
