Marjorie Taylor Greene: President Donald Trump Is a ‘Traitor’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Wednesday, on CNN’s “The Source,” former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called President Donald Trump a “traitor.”

Greene said, “I’ll also never forget the text message he sent me when I told him that my son’s life was being threatened because he was calling me a traitor because I fought to release the Epstein files where he told me that I deserved it. And so this doesn’t shock me that his team was paralyzed.”

She added, “These people are absolutely absurd. They don’t deserve the American people’s trust. As a matter of fact, we should consider them as, they should be considered traitors. They’re traitors. The ones that refuse to release Epstein files want to cover up for pedophiles and rapists and all sorts of disgusting things in these files. Those are the traitors to the American people. And they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Are you saying that that applies to the president himself?”

Greene said, “I’m saying exactly that. He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt, and that’s why he’s against releasing the Epstein files.” (Read more from “Marjorie Taylor Greene: President Donald Trump Is a ‘Traitor’” HERE)

U.S. Hits Iran Again After Trump Said Tehran Has Been ‘Tapping Us Along’ in Talks

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. military launched a fresh wave of strikes against multiple targets in Iran on Wednesday evening after President Donald Trump warned Tehran would “pay the price” for dragging out negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.

“U.S. Central Command forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” CENTCOM announced in a statement. “The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”

The operation followed a day of increasingly sharp warnings from Trump, who accused Tehran of stalling negotiations and warned the regime would face consequences for delaying a response to Washington’s latest proposal.

In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump declared that Iran had been “completely defeated,” describing the regime as “all talk and no action.”

“The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!” Trump wrote. “They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them. Now they will have to pay the price!”

Obama-Appointed Judge Strikes Down Trump’s $100,000 Fee for Foreign H-1B Workers

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama has struck down President Donald Trump’s one-time $100,000 fee for importing foreign H-1B visa workers to take American white-collar jobs.

On Monday, Judge Leo Sorokin of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated the Trump administration’s plans to impose a $100,000 fee on foreign H-1B hires, arguing that doing so is essentially a tax that Congress did not authorize.

“… the Court finds that the Policy imposes a tax on H-1B petitions without the requisite delegation by Congress,” Sorokin wrote:

Accordingly, the Court VACATES the Policy materials implementing the Proclamation’s $100,000 payment requirement. In addition to vacatur, Plaintiffs seek a “judicial declaration that the Policy is unlawful in violation of the APA and the Constitution.” Defendants’ only objection to this requested relief is that “declaratory judgment alone would not redress Plaintiffs’ alleged injuries because . . . that judgment would not affect the Proclamation nor would it enjoin any future action.” But this concern is not applicable here, where the Court has also ordered vacatur of the challenged agency action. Therefore, the Court issues declaratory judgment.

The H-1B visa program allows American companies to import hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, primarily from India, to take white-collar American jobs every year. Research has repeatedly found that the program is often used as a huge labor savings scheme for Fortune 500 corporations.

Trump Scolds Netanyahu in Testy Phone Call: ‘You could be left alone against Iran very soon’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that restarting a full-fledged war with Tehran could risk losing US support.

“I told Bibi, ‘you better be very careful what you do, because you could be left alone against Iran very soon,’” Trump told Israel’s Channel 12 on Monday.

Trump’s harsh words came over a phone call with Netanyahu after a volley of missiles between Iran and Israel that marked the 100th day of the war.

Trump said Iran offered a cease-fire with Israel, provided the president could stop Netanyahu from continuing attacks.

He then dialed the prime minister, emphasizing he was close to a deal with Iran and that he wouldn’t let Israel ruin it by returning to war.

An administration official told The Post on Monday the White House did not believe Iran was intending to return to war with the strikes on Israel. (Read more from “Trump Scolds Netanyahu in Testy Phone Call: ‘You could be left alone against Iran very soon’” HERE)

Disgraced Cryto Founder Asks Trump For Pardon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Incarcerated cryptocurrency founder Sam Bankman-Fried is formally seeking a pardon from President Donald J. Trump, according to the U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) website.

Bankman-Fried’s request for “Pardon after Completion of sentence” was submitted in 2026 and is currently pending, the DOJ Office of the Pardon Attorney website reads. He’s currently serving a 25-year sentence on seven charges of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering related to his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX, according to the DOJ. Trump said in January this year that he would not pardon the former crypto CEO.

Bankman-Fried was convicted of orchestrating a colossal fraud scheme via his company FTX as well as his trading firm Alameda Research rooted in the misuse of what amounted to billions of dollars, officials said.

The former cypto CEO made it clear that he wanted a pardon Monday when speaking to Fox Business. “Absolutely,” he said when asked. “It would be obviously, you know, ultimately up to the president, not up to me.”

Since President Trump took office in January 2025 for his second term, he has issued over 1,400 pardons, CNBC reported. Trump told The New York Times in an expansive January interview that he will not pardon Bankman-Fried along with several other figures, including deposed Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

NBC Reporter’s Six-Word Claim about California Elections that Caused Trump to Storm Off

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An NBC News reporter’s comments about California’s elections and the 2020 presidential race caused President Trump to storm out of their interview Sunday.

Kristen Welker sparred with the commander-in-chief over his claims the state’s voting was rigged as the counting continues and Democrat candidates suddenly enjoy a late stream of votes from mail-in ballots.

“That’s how they vote in California,” Welker replied after Trump pointed to the state’s still-unfinished ballot count as proof that something nefarious was happening.

The tense moment came during an interview on “Meet the Press,” when the president revived his longstanding allegations about election integrity while discussing California’s primaries.

The exchange became increasingly heated before Trump accused the network of bias and cut the interview short.

“It’s happening again right now in California,” Trump said, referring to the state’s vote-counting process. “This is happening right now in California, right now. It’s four days.” (Read more from “NBC Reporter’s Six-Word Claim about California Elections that Caused Trump to Storm Off” HERE)

Trump Insists Israel’s Netanyahu ‘Won’t have any Choice’ in Accepting Iran Peace Deal after Fresh Strikes: ‘I Call the Shots’

/4 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Trump said Israel’s prime minister would be forced to play ball with Iran after the Islamic Republic launched a missile attack on the Jewish State Sunday — and insisted that he is still the one who “calls the shots.”

Iran fired at least 10 missiles at Israel on Sunday, hours after the Israeli Defense Forces launched its own attack on a Hezbollah command center in Beirut.

Trump told the Financial Times that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have to accept any ceasefire deal that the US brokers because he “doesn’t call the shots.”

“[Netanyahu] won’t have any choice. I call the shots. I call all the shots. He doesn’t call the shots,” Trump said.

Trump assured that Sunday’s shake-up, which effectively terminated a delicate ceasefire Israel and Lebanon agreed to just last week, will not have “any impact” on US-Iran negotiations.

Trump Pardons Former US Congressman Convicted of Insider Trading

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has pardoned former US Representative Stephen Buyer, an Indiana Republican, who was convicted of securities fraud ​for engaging in insider trading in 2018 as a T-Mobile US ‌consultant ahead of a $23 billion merger with Sprint.

The proclamation, issued on Thursday and announced by the White House on Friday, gave no specific rationale for the pardon other ​than to assert that Buyer’s service as a US Army judge ​advocate general and member of Congress “was distinguished and highly productive.”

It ⁠also said that Trump, in granting Buyer a “full, complete and unconditional pardon,” was acting ​on the “advice and recommendation” of 52 current and former members of the US ​Senate and House of Representatives listed in the proclamation.

Buyer served in the House as a Republican from Indiana between 1993 and 2011 before working as a corporate consultant. He ​was found guilty in March of 2023 on four counts of securities ​fraud, and was sentenced in September of that year to 22 months in prison.

Prosecutors said ‌at ⁠trial that Buyer bought Sprint stock after learning from a T-Mobile executive that the telecommunications companies were in merger talks in 2018 and made illegal trades again the following year.
