Oil For Deportation Flights? Trump Reportedly Pushed To Make Deal With Dictator

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly being urged to ease economic pressure on Venezuela in exchange for their government helping him achieve his mass deportation objectives.

U.S. oil executives and other businessmen close to Trump are pushing him to forgo his first-term policy of intense pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in return for fewer illegal migrants in the U.S., according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Such a deal is reportedly welcome within Maduro’s inner circle, with his government believing they can help Trump achieve his policy goals by supplying the U.S. with their oil in exchange for resuming deportation flights.

Under the Biden administration, federal immigration authorities and major cities across the country have experienced an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis. Management of this crisis was made more difficult when Venezuela, a major source of illegal immigration, stopped accepting deportation flights in February.

Nearly 8 million Venezuelans have fled the country under Maduro, a leftist authoritarian who has overseen rampant inflation, economic turmoil and political repression. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan nationals have since flocked to the U.S., largely by unlawfully crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, Customs and Border Protection data show.

Here’s Why Mark Zuckerberg Had Dinner With Trump At Mar-a-Lago

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence to seemingly brown-nose the soon-to-be commander-in-chief to reportedly be a part of Trump’s revolutionary change in the United States.

Despite lying to Congress about censoring conservatives, Zuckerberg visited Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home on Wednesday to be a part of his “reform movement” that the incoming administration is leading.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed Trump and Zuckerberg’s meeting, saying that the Facebook founder views Trump’s second term as a chance at “national renewal” in the country. He said that although Zuckerberg has his own company and his own agenda, he “understands that President Trump is an agent of change, an agent of prosperity.”

A Meta spokesperson said that Zuckerberg was “grateful” to be invited to Mar-a-Lago for dinner to meet with Trump.

“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation. Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration,” the spokesperson said.

‘Happy Thanksgiving to All, Including the Radical Left Lunatics’: Here’s Trump’s Thanksgiving Message

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the early morning hours of the holiday, President-elect Donald Trump shared his Thanksgiving message for the American people, starting off with a reminder that his well wishes also included “the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our country.” He also posted such a message over X, with his message being a trending topic over X for Thursday morning.

As Trump reminded right away, though, they “have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just have a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

It’s not just that Trump won the White House earlier this month, but on the night of the election, Republicans won enough seats to take back control of the Senate. Less than a week later, Republicans won enough seats to keep control of the House. Democrats have continuously been in disarray, even weeks after the election.

“Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!” Trump concluded his message, offering encouragement to his fellow Americans on this Thanksgiving holiday, with many no doubt thankful that his second term is set to begin in less than two months.

Lawmaker Floats Idea of State Seceding to Resist President-Elect Trump

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A plan for states to secede from the union of United States because they disagree politically with the majority is something that’s been tried before.

Unsuccessfully, as the horrendous death tolls of the Civil War and its after-war punishments, like “carpet-baggers,” document.

But Democrats in New York apparently believe it would produce a better result this time.

That’s because they are considering a plan to become, along with several nearby states, a province of Canada over President-elect Donald Trump’s coming administration.

It is the Washington Examiner that has reported that the rage from leftists is over Trump’s plans to address the catastrophic results of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris open borders agenda. . .

The report said it is New York state Sen. Liz Krueger, a Democrat from New York City, who proposed withholding taxes from the federal government, or leaving entirely. (Read more from “Lawmaker Floats Idea of State Seceding to Resist President-Elect Trump” HERE)

Donald Trump and Elon Musk Face Backlash for Spending Time With Caitlyn Jenner

/1 Comment/in , /by

Donald Trump recently posed for a photo alongside his granddaughter, Kai, staunch MAGA supporter Caitlyn Jenner and new pal Elon Musk at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

However, the president-elect and the tech mogul were slammed by critics on X, formerly known as Twitter, due to anti-trans views they’ve shared throughout the 2024 presidential election campaign.

One X user wrote, “HMM, IS CAITLYN JENNER BANNED FROM USING THE WOMEN’S BATHROOM AT MAR-A-LAGO?” and a second person added, “I wonder if Caitlyn, Elon and Donald all used the bathroom together…shocked that the MAGA cult isn’t melting down about this.” . . .

Some critics also pointed out Musk’s estranged relationship from his own transgender child, Vivian.

“So Elon can put his arm around Caitlyn Jenner, but he’s rejected his own daughter for being transgender? Please make it make sense,” another X user replied. (Read more from “Donald Trump and Elon Musk Face Backlash for Spending Time With Caitlyn Jenner” HERE)

Trump May Kick Establishment Media Out of White House Briefing Room

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is considering rearranging White House press briefings in a move that could leave establishment media outlets out to dry.

Instead of hostile legacy media outlets, Trump could seat new media hosts such as Megyn Kelly or Joe Rogan.

Donald Trump Jr. revealed the plan Monday on his podcast, Triggered with Donald Trump Jr., with Michael Knowles.

Knowles inquired if “Karoline Leavitt is looking at the new press briefing room chart, [if] maybe it’s time to reorder that chart and maybe take away some people’s seats.”

Trump Jr. responded, “We’re gonna break some news here,” continuing, “I literally had this conversation with — I was flying back, I was on the plane with my father, I think it was coming back from the SpaceX launch with Elon [Musk] last week. And we were talking about the podcast world and some of our friends and Rogan and guys like you.” (Read more from “Trump May Kick Establishment Media Out of White House Briefing Room” HERE)

Trump Announces Tariffs for Day 1

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump has been making clear for some time that he supports tariffs. On Monday night, he made an announcement about tariffs from his Truth Social account, with concerns about our “Open Border” and “Open Borders” from neighboring Mexico and Canada being part of the explanation given.

“As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before. Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border,” he lamented. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he continued, with an explanation as to when they may come to an end. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem. We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!”

Trump also put out another Truth Social post, this one about tariffs on China. Such a post speaks to the lack of progress with China about the amount of fentanyl coming to the United States.

“I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail. Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before,” his post explained. “Until such time as they stop, we will be charging China an additional 10% Tariff, above any additional Tariffs, on all of their many products coming into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Trump Team Quashes Trans Military Rumors: Sources ‘Have No Idea What They Are Talking About’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump’s soon-to-be White House press secretary quashed a report that Trump will “kick transgender troops” out of the military, telling The Daily Wire that the report is based on unnamed sources who have “no idea what they are actually talking about.”

“These unnamed sources are speculating and have no idea what they are actually talking about,” Karoline Leavitt told The Daily Wire. “No decisions on this issue have been made. No policy should ever be deemed official unless it comes directly from President Trump or his authorized spokespeople.”

Her statement followed a report from the London-based Times alleging that Trump would sign an executive order as early as his first day back in the White House kicking trans-identifying troops out of the United States military. The story claimed that there are as many as 15,000 individuals in the military who identify as transgender, and that these troops would be deemed medically discharged upon Trump taking office in January.

During his previous administration, Trump had quickly announced that trans-identifying service members would no longer serve “in any capacity,” arguing that the military needed to be focused on “decisive and overwhelming victory.” His ban on trans-identifying people serving in the military took effect in 2019, but was reversed by President Joe Biden in January 2021.

Jack Smith’s End of Lawfare Charges Against Trump Proves It Was a Political Witch Hunt

/3 Comments/in , /by

Special Counsel Jack Smith said on Monday that the evidence against now President-elect Donald Trump in the 2020 election case is rock-solid and that no one is “above the law” — but that he’d nonetheless drop the charges against Trump.

But if that’s the case, why bail out now? Surely if Trump is really the criminal mastermind Smith alleges he is, there’s no conscionable way he could drop the charges. The reality is that Smith knows this was never about the law. It was about leftists using lawfare to prosecute and ideally jail their political opponent.

“After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC’s [Office of Legal Counsel] prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith’s filing stated.

Smith still made sure to add a throw-away-line that the decision to drop the case did not “turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind.” But, Smith added, the Department of Justice concluded that pursuing the case would hinder Trump’s ability to lead.

This Trump Nomination Will Make Leftists’ Heads Spin

/0 Comments/in , , /by

If you thought that President-elect Trump had used up all of his “controversial” nominations, buckle up, because he is reportedly planning to appoint Kash Patel, the former chief investigator of the Trump-Russia investigation for the House Intelligence Committee under former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to a prominent position within either the FBI or the Justice Department, according to top transition sources cited by Axios.

Why it matters: Patel would be a deeply controversial pick for any leadership role, especially FBI director. Given the hurdles Patel might face winning Senate confirmation, Trump is considering naming him deputy director or to an appointed investigative role within DOJ, the sources said.

State of play: A final decision hasn’t been made. Trump still could change his mind, including by elevating Patel all the way to FBI director — a move that would send Gaetz-like shockwaves throughout Washington.

“President-elect Trump has made brilliant decisions on who will serve in his second administration at lightning pace. Remaining decisions will continue to be announced by him when they are made,” incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Axios.

The report also indicates that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is under consideration for the role of FBI director, following Trump’s selection of Pam Bondi to head the Justice Department. However, no “consensus pick” has yet been finalized. Trump has also indicated plans to dismiss current FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom he appointed in 2017 to a 10-year term after firing James Comey.
