Popular Comedian Says Trump is ‘Incredibly Enticing’ as ‘Democrats Have Utterly Failed to Inspire’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Comedian Andrew Schulz said on a Friday podcast that he finds former President Donald Trump’s anti-establishment message alluring, while Democrat’s messaging has been uninspiring.

Trust in institutions, such as television news and Congress, remains at historic lows, according to a Gallup poll in July. Schulz on “The Brilliant Idiots” said Vice President Kamala Harris will struggle to defeat Trump because voters resonate with Trump’s messaging about fighting the establishment.

“He’s very enticing, he’s incredibly enticing and I think that he’s enticing because I think the Democrats have utterly failed to inspire us in any way, shape, or form,” Schulz said. “And that burden is now on Kamala … who is someone who is not the nominee because of the democratic process … She has a huge burden to inspire and I think it’s nice to see somebody that is bucking the system especially when you feel the systems, you feel have left you down.” (Read more from “Popular Comedian Says Trump is ‘Incredibly Enticing’ as ‘Democrats Have Utterly Failed to Inspire’” HERE)

Donald Trump’s Gag Order Appeal Rejected in New York ‘Hush Money’ Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New York appeals court on Thursday denied Donald Trump’s bid to end a gag order in his hush money criminal case, rejecting the Republican’s argument that his May conviction “constitutes a change in circumstances” that warrants lifting the restrictions.

A five-judge panel in the state’s mid-level appellate court ruled that the trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, was correct in extending parts of the gag order until Trump is sentenced, writing that “the fair administration of justice necessarily includes sentencing.”

Merchan imposed the gag order in March, a few weeks before the trial started, after prosecutors raised concerns about Trump’s habit of attacking people involved in his cases. (Read more from “Donald Trump’s Gag Order Appeal Rejected in New York ‘Hush Money’ Case” HERE)

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah is stepping down as co-chair of the upcoming National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago, she announced in a Tuesday tweet.

The NABJ24 convention will host Trump for a moderated Q&A session hosted by Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, ABC News’ Rachel Scott and Semafor’s Kadia Goba, according to a report.

“To the journalists interviewing Trump, I wish them the best of luck,” she wrote on Twitter. “For everyone else, I’m looking forward to meeting and reconnecting with all of you in the Windy City.”

She also noted that she was not involved in the decision making process that led to the Trump Q&A.

“While my decision was influenced by a variety of factors, I was not involved or consulted with in any way with the decision to platform Trump in such a format,” she wrote.

MUST WATCH: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Blasts ‘Fake News’ Reporter: ‘Very Rude’

/8 Comments/in , , /by

By ABC 3340. Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday engaged in a fiery exchange with a reporter while taking questions at an event hosted by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ).

The group announced Tuesday Trump would participate in a Q&A session with several of its journalists. In its announcement, the NABJ acknowledged Vice President Kamala Harris “was also invited to participate in this year’s convention; her confirmation is pending.”

This acknowledgement, however, did little to quell apparent outrage among members and anti-Trump onlookers. Acknowledging Trump’s invite, Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah announced via X she would step down as co-chair for the group’s 2024 convention in Chicago.

At the event, ABC News reporter Rachel Scott opened by “addressing the elephant in the room” and asked why Black voters should support Trump. She bolstered the question by accusing him of frequently using racist rhetoric while addressing politicians and journalists of color.

“First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said to laughter and murmurs from the crowd. “You don’t even say ‘hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network.”

‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack

By WND. A crowd at the conference for the National Association of Black Journalists on Wednesday gasped, and there even were cheers, when President Donald Trump scolded a rude reporter who attacked him with list of loaded statements. . .

Why should, ABC’s Rachel Scott demanded, blacks trust Trump after he allegedly made “false” claims about rivals, used negative descriptors for liberal prosecutors and said black journalists were asking stupid and racist questions.

Trump, who sat listening quietly during the attack, responded: “Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question so … in such a horrible manner.”

There was a collective gasp, interspersed with guffaws and laughter, from the crowd.

He continued, “You don’t even say, ‘Hello. How are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they are a fake news network. A terrible network.” (Read more from “‘Disgraceful’: Listen to Crowd Gasp as Trump Scolds Reporter for ‘Hostile’ Attack” HERE)

Top JFK Assassination Researcher: ‘Something is Fishy,’ Secret Service Covering Up Info on Trump Attack

/2 Comments/in , /by

Investigative journalist Gerald Posner — whose deeply researched studies of the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. made him a preeminent authority on political assassinations — says he can understand why so many people think there’s “something fishy” about the official story of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Noting the belated admission by the Secret Service that Trump’s security team was denied requested resources before the July 13 assassination attempt, Posner asks, “Did they refuse to give Trump extra security for a two-year period?” They were almost creating a situation in which somebody could take a shot. Now I’m not saying that’s the case, but I understand why that speculation would be there.”

Posner lays out his analysis of the events in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left one man dead, seriously injured two others and wounded former President Trump in the most recent episode of the Drill Down podcast with Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers.

Posner has been following the hearings into the Secret Service’s failure, and he has many questions. “We knew there have been screw-ups before, but they can’t keep it silent anymore because people who attend the rally take out their cell phones and start recording what happened. Everybody could see — ‘Hey, there he is! There’s that guy! Look at that guy on the roof! Hey, officers!’ — So, we know more than they are telling us. No wonder we think something is fishy here.”

Before the event, the shooter “was walking around with a range finder and apparently a large backpack and they were tracking him. And then the Secret Service was made aware, they’re saying they now knew 30 minutes in advance,” Posner says. “Why did they allow Trump to take that stage?” (Read more from “Top JFK Assassination Researcher: ‘Something is Fishy,’ Secret Service Covering Up Info on Trump Attack” HERE)

Trump Says Harris ‘Became a Black Person’ for Political Purposes During Animated Chicago Black Journalists Event

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump told a black journalist conference Wednesday that he “didn’t know” Vice President Kamala Harris was “black” until recently — before trashing her as “fake, fake, fake” later at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The stunning remark about Harris’ racial identity came as Trump, 78, sought to woo minority voters by addressing the Windy City convention of the National Association for Black Journalists.

“I’ve known her a long time indirectly — not directly very much — and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black — until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black,” Trump said.

“And now she wants to be known as black, so I don’t know — is she Indian or is she black? But you know what? I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t.”

Trump added: “She was Indian all of the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went, she became a black person and I think somebody should look into that.” (Read more from “Trump Says Harris ‘Became a Black Person’ for Political Purposes During Animated Chicago Black Journalists Event” HERE)

WATCH: Video Shows Attempted-Trump Assassin on Roof Before Shooting

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new video appears to show Thomas Crooks moving across a roof in plain sight minutes before attempting to shoot Donald Trump.

In the video, taken by James Copenhaver, who was injured in the shooting, a figure is seen moving across the roof of the American Glass Research building moments before gunfire rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The video was taken at 6.08pm on July 13, three minutes before Crooks, 20, opened fire, narrowly missing the former president.

One bullet grazed Trump’s ear, while Corey Comperatore, a local fire chief and Trump supporter, was killed and two other rally attendees were injured.

The shooting led to a bipartisan outcry over the security failures and last week Kimberly Cheatle resigned as director of the Secret Service after accepting responsibility for the “significant” problems surrounding the shooting.

Elon Musk: “Sure Looks Like the FBI Leadership is Engaged in Perjury” with Regard to Trump Assassination

/5 Comments/in , , /by

The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified “social media account” in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted “anti-immigrant and anti-semitic” content.

This is not consistent with Gab’s understanding of the shooter’s motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request (“EDR”) we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account “EpicMicrowave” which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to Elon Musk for highlighting this important story.

Many, particularly regime media reporters, have doubted Gab’s claims that this request existed. Normally we don’t confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.

The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy.

To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.

We are disclosing this information at significant personal and business risk. If the past is any guide, defying the D.C. consensus by publishing the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter – something Democrats and their media allies have tried to cover up and deny at every turn – has a high probability of resulting in significant political and media backlash.

In the past, we have been the target of politically motivated inquiries from both the House Oversight Committee and the Joint Committee on the January 6th Attacks, both of which sought to interfere with our mission of protecting free speech online. The enemies of freedom have the ability to impose significant present and future legal costs and any donations we receive will help to defray those costs.

Green Day Musician Holds Up Donald Trump Head at Concert Less Than a Month After Assassination Attempt

/5 Comments/in , /by

Rocker Billie Joe Armstrong held up what appeared to be a rubber head of former President Donald Trump and threw it into the crowd during a Green Day concert on Monday — less than a month after the assassination attempt on Trump.

Green Day was appearing at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. as part of the band’s current tour when Billie Joe Armstrong pulled his stunt while performing “Jesus of Suburbia.” The rubber head had the word “Idiot” written on the forehead.

Armstrong held the prop head by the top, as if it were a decapitated head, before hurling it with great fanfare into the audience. The fans cheered their approval.

Historian Who Predicted Almost Every Election Since 1984 Gives Take on Trump-Harris Matchup

/3 Comments/in , /by

The “Keys to the White House” are favoring Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical 2024 matchup against former President Donald Trump, but a final prediction for the 2024 race has yet to be made.

Allan Lichtman, an election forecaster who has correctly predicted nearly every presidential race since 1984, developed a formula that is used to make predictions about an upcoming presidential election — and in most cases, it proves to be right.

Lichtman’s “Keys to the White House” consists of 13 true-or-false questions that he believes establish a strong indication of who will be named the victor on the fall ballot. Each question is asked about the two dueling nominees; if “true,” they are given a “key,” and if “false,” their competitor receives the point. If one party’s candidate receives six or more keys, they are the predicted winner.

At the beginning of the cycle, Democrats were handed one automatic “key” for President Biden’s incumbency — but the ballot has since seen a dramatic shift.

The “keys” are as follows:
party mandate
contest
incumbency
third party
short-term economy
long-term economy
policy change
social unrest
scandal
foreign/military failure
foreign/military success
incumbent charisma
challenger charisma
