RFK Jr.’s Speech Wasn’t Republican or Democrat but American

/9 Comments/in , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. excoriated the Democrat Party, U.S. government, and our supposedly free press during his Friday press conference. Kennedy’s announcement that he will remove his name as a candidate for president in swing states and endorses Donald Trump brought cheers from Trump supporters and derision from Democrat die-hards.

But what does the alliance between Trump and Kennedy mean to the future of the Republican platform? Properly understood, nothing.

Friday’s speech was not about the policies of the Grand Old Party any more than it was about whether Kennedy’s old-school Democrat belief system remained intact. As Kennedy acknowledged, he had been “a ferocious critic of many of the policies during [Trump’s] first administration,” and the two will “continue to have very serious differences” about “issues and approaches.”

Yet an alliance will allow him and Trump to “work[] together on the existential issues upon which we are in concordance,” Kennedy explained during his press conference last week. The key “existential issues” Kennedy identified, and the hopes he professed for our country, transcend partisan politics and harken to the days of our founding.

Kennedy identified institutional corruption of both the government and the press, manifesting itself in “government propaganda,” a “resort to censorship and media control, and the weaponization of the federal agencies” as foundational threats to the country. Lawfare at the voting booth, against both Trump and Kennedy, further built the former Democrat’s case for exiting the race.

Trump Rally Counter-Sniper Backs Bombshell ‘Evidence Tampering’ Claims by House GOPers

/4 Comments/in , /by

A SWAT counter-sniper who was working the Pennsylvania rally where former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated last month agreed with Republican lawmakers Monday that an “odd” pattern of evidence-handling had taken place following the deadly shooting.

Washington Regional SWAT counter-sniper Ben Shaffer said it was “absolutely” concerning that the roof of the AGR International building had been quickly scrubbed and gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks’ body disposed of before an official autopsy report could be released.

Five House Republicans — Reps. Andy Biggs and Eli Crane of Arizona, Matt Gaetz and Cory Mills of Florida, and Chip Roy of Texas — hosted the panel discussion with Shaffer and other witnesses at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

“Do you find it odd that literally only days after the attempted assassination on President Donald J. Trump, while the roof was too sloped to place individuals for counter-sniper operations, that it wasn’t too sloped of a roof for the FBI to go ahead and tamper, in my opinion, with evidence by washing the roof off that may have had significant evidence on it?” Mills asked Shaffer, referring to the chain of events following the July 13 shooting at the Butler, Pa. campaign event which left one audience member dead and three others, including Trump, injured.

“Yes, I do,” Shaffer answered. (Read more from “Trump Rally Counter-Sniper Backs Bombshell ‘Evidence Tampering’ Claims by House GOPers” HERE)

/5 Comments/in , /by

Former 2024 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Sunday that he will “actively” campaign with 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump Friday afternoon, later joining forces with the former president that evening at a campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona. Kennedy told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream that Trump will join forces with other Democrats as the election cycle progresses.

“I’ll be campaigning actively,” Kennedy told Bream. “President Trump is going to make a series of announcements of other Democrats who are joining his campaign. And, you know, I wanna make America healthy again, and so does President Trump.”

Kennedy told Bream he and Trump agree that healthy children should be part of his legacy if the former president wins a second term.

Kennedy took to social media Sunday morning and said that his endorsement of Trump is just the beginning of the GOP nominee’s “Unity” ticket.

Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban

/4 Comments/in , /by

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, said Saturday that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if Congress were to pass one.

Asked on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” about GOP lawmakers like Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina who would want Trump to advocate for and sign an abortion ban, Vance told moderator Kristen Welker that Trump has “explicitly” said he would veto a ban.

“I mean, if you’re not supporting it, as the president of the United States, you fundamentally have to veto it,” Vance argued.

Trump has changed his position on abortion policy over the years.

Asked on a tarmac in Atlanta in April whether he would sign a national abortion ban if it passed through Congress, he simply answered, “No.” But he didn’t clarify at the time what he considered a “ban.” (Read more from “Vance Says Trump Would Veto a National Abortion Ban” HERE)

RFK Jr.’s Sister Has a Total Meltdown Over Her Brother’s Support for Trump

/5 Comments/in , /by

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out of the 2024 race last Friday. It was a highly anticipated moment as Mr. Kennedy was now siphoning support away from Donald Trump. When Joe Biden was running, Mr. Kennedy’s support was relatively strong for an independent bid, albeit one fraught with legal battles. The political establishment didn’t want Kennedy screwing around with their plans against Trump.

There was some intrigue about whether Kennedy would endorse Trump as his wife, Cheryl Hines, and running mate, Nicole Shanahan, didn’t seem inclined to do so outright. Hines doesn’t appear to be a Trump fan, being from Hollywood, while Shanahan wanted Trump to admit Operation Warp Speed was a failure. Kennedy made his endorsement of Trump official last week, noting the war on children, Ukraine, and free speech as the primary reasons for getting on the MAGA train. It’s a move that’s horrified his family, leading RFK Jr’s sister, Kerry, to suffer a meltdown, going on this holier-than-thou tirade:

Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump told Breitbart News exclusively that when he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, in mid-July he knew instantly it was a bullet that had hit him.

“A lot of times, and I was thinking about this, it would seem like a surreal moment—like you don’t realize almost where you are,” Trump said when asked to describe what went through his mind in that moment. “I never felt that. I knew immediately I got hit by a bullet.”

Trump’s comments came during a lengthy exclusive interview at Mar-a-Lago a couple weeks ago, where he sat for an hour with Breitbart News after a press conference he held earlier in the day. One of the most interesting parts of the interview was Trump talking about the failed assassination attempt from 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks against him, and it was unbelievable to hear Trump himself describe just how lucky he was that the would-be assassin’s bullets barely missed him.

Trump, sitting behind his big ornate wooden desk, described to Breitbart News that he would be dead if he had not turned exactly the right way at exactly the right second.

“So what are the odds that I’m looking to the right?” Trump said. “The poster is never used early, and it’s never on the right it’s always on the left. If you take the odds of this whole thing it’s like 10 million to one and you only have an eighth of a second.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Unveils Dramatic Details of Assassination Attempt: Moment It Happened, Who’s to Blame, Why He Got Up and Yelled ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’” HERE)

Trump Unleashes Fierce Anti-Harris Storm: Kamala ‘Trying to Make It Sound Like I Am the Incumbent President’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump unleashed a storm of comments Sunday afternoon, saying Kamala Harris and Democrat operatives are working to convince voters that he – not Joe Biden – is actually the current commander in chief.

“Kamala and her ‘handlers’ are trying to make it sound like I am the Incumbent President, so that they can blame me for the failure of the past four years,” Trump said on X. . .

“There will be no future under Comrade Kamala Harris, because she will take us into a Nuclear World War III! She will never be respected by the Tyrants of the World!” Trump continued. . . .

“If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times WORSE if Kamala gets four years as President. Under her plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET Style Price Controls. She will abolish private health care, and make California’s ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning EVERY American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more CASH and less TAX, VOTE TRUMP!!!” (Read more from “Trump Unleashes Fierce Anti-Harris Storm: Kamala ‘Trying to Make It Sound Like I Am the Incumbent President'” HERE)

Tim Walz’s Coaching History Called Out After Ex-Football Players Hit Dnc Stage: ‘It’s Strange’

/13 Comments/in , , /by

Former members of the Mankato West High School football team took center stage at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday night in support of their former coach, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, as he formally accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president.

However, social media stirred over the reference to Walz as a football coach who turned a losing team into state champions.

“In Minnesota, we trust a coach who turned a team that was 0-27 into state champions,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said in her speech on the third night of the DNC.

Ben Ingman, one of Walz’s former students, who said the governor also coached him in seventh-grade basketball and track at Mankato, echoed that sentiment.

“Coach Walz got us excited about what we might achieve together. He believed in us, and he helped us believe in each other. And his leadership stuck. That track team went on to win a state title, just like the football team.” . . .

“Amy Klobuchar introduces Timothy Walz as a coach who ‘turned’ a team ‘into state champions,’” one person said in a post on X. “He was NEVER a head coach. He didn’t ‘turn’ anyone into state champions.” (Read more from “Tim Walz’s Coaching History Called Out After Ex-Football Players Hit DNC Stage: ‘It’s Strange'” HERE)

Suspect Accused of Threatening the Life of President Trump Arrested by Deputies

/5 Comments/in , /by

Authorities in Cochise County, Arizona, have taken into custody a man suspected of threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump, a circumstance that on Thursday triggered a widespread hunt for Ronald Lee Syrvud, 66.

A report from Daily Wire said the suspect was nabbed by authorities while Trump was visiting the state, which has been impacted by the colossal failure in the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration to secure the international border. . .

But the report said Syrvud had an outstanding warrant for felony failure to register as a sex offender and was charged with a sex offender violation on his arrest.

The Daily Mail reported Syrvud has in the past registered as a Democrat and has a long rap sheet, including pleading no contest to second-degree sexual assault of a child in 2000.

Pollsters Say RFK Jr. Endorsement ‘Could Have a Really Big Impact’ and ‘Help Trump’

/5 Comments/in , /by

Republican pollster Lee Carter and Democratic pollster Carly Cooperman on Friday said that independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump could significantly boost his campaign.

Kennedy announced during a Friday speech that he would suspend his campaign and endorse Trump in states where he is not on the ballot, only withdrawing his name from consideration in key battleground states as not to spoil the vote. Carter and Cooperman, on “Your World With Neil Cavuto,” said that in such a close election, the votes that Trump could gain from Kennedy’s decision might boost his chances of defeating Vice President Kamala Harris.

“When you’re looking at these battleground states, we’re looking at averages where Donald Trump might be ahead by 0.2%, and just getting some of those votes could have a really big impact. And I think RFK Jr. knows this,” Carter said. “He was very, very keen to say, ‘I am withdrawing my name from these 10 states because I know it can have an impact.’ And so I think there is a very, very clear directive here.”

“It’s absolutely the case that the polls in these swing states show that with RFK removed, there is a small advantage that goes to Donald Trump. And in these states, every single vote really does matter. This makes a lot of sense,” Cooperman said. “Democrats are far more enthusiastic about Kamala Harris as their presidential candidate than they were about Joe Biden. And so you’re seeing much more coalescing among Democrats for Kamala, and therefore the support that RFK was getting in the most recent polls was certainly going to help Trump more so with him removed from it.”

Cooperman also noted “there is uncertainty” about what Kennedy’s supporters will do in November. (Read more from “Pollsters Say RFK Jr. Endorsement ‘Could Have a Really Big Impact’ and ‘Help Trump'” HERE)
