Biden’s ‘You Ain’t Black’ Comment Bites Him as President Mocked for Leaking Minority Voters

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden told black voters that they “ain’t black” if they had trouble deciding who to vote for between him and then-President Donald Trump. Though he later apologized for the comments, Republicans have continued to seize on them, with the latest round coming from Scott.

“Biden: ‘If you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,’” Scott quoted Biden as saying. “In 2024, 40% of African American men aren’t Black enough for Joe Biden. Why? It’s simple. We were better off under Donald J. Trump.”

Last week, Scott launched a talk show with fellow black Republicans Reps. Burgess Owens (R-UT), Byron Donalds (R-FL), John James (R-MI), and Wesley Hunt (R-TX). Scott, Owens, James, and Hunt mocked Biden’s “you ain’t black” comments in their show on Monday, a clip of which was shared on X.

Jack Smith Tells Supreme Court to Keep Trump Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Special counsel Jack Smith called on the Supreme Court on Monday to reject a bid by Donald Trump to invoke presidential immunity to avoid a trial over an alleged effort to subvert the 2020 election results, saying the “Framers” never intended such privileges for former presidents.

The Supreme Court is poised to weigh Trump’s arguments on April 25 that he should not be prosecuted for acts taken while he was still president, namely Smith’s four-count indictment alleging an effort to upend President Joe Biden‘s 2020 election victory. Smith told the justices in a court filing that even if they find that former presidents enjoy some form of immunity, at least some of Trump’s actions were “private conduct” and should be prosecuted.

“The Framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former President, and all Presidents from the Founding to the modern era have known that after leaving office they faced potential criminal liability for official acts,” Smith told the high court in a 66-page filing.

Smith took aim at several of Trump’s claims that have been made in an effort to convince the court that he should be immune from charges in the case. He pointed out that Trump “suggests that unless a criminal statute expressly names the President, the statute does not apply.”

“That radical suggestion, which would free the President from virtually all criminal law — even crimes such as bribery, murder, treason, and sedition — is unfounded,” the filing said, adding that the text of “nearly all” federal criminal laws covers all individuals, including the president.

Pro-Life Organizations Have Mixed Reactions to Donald Trump’s Abortion Position (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump says abortion is an issue that should be left to individual states — a position accepted by some leading pro-life organizations and not others.

Trump officially announced his position on abortion Monday, ending months-long speculation about how he would handle the issue should he be elected in November. In a video posted to Truth Social, Trump said the issue of abortion is about “the will of the people” and should be left up to states to decide. The 45th president touted his role in nominating the Supreme Court justices who ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade in their Dobbs decision — ending 50 years of an invented constitutional right to abortion and sending the issue back to individual states and their elected representatives.

“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide, must be the law of the land,” Trump said.

“This is all about the will of the people. You must follow your heart or in many cases, your religion or your faith. Do what’s right for your family, and do what’s right for yourself,” he continued. “Do what’s right for your children. Do what’s right for our country, and vote — so important to vote. At the end of the day, it’s all about the will of the people.”

Trump also noted that while the issue of abortion is often a deep moral choice for many voters one way or another, Republicans must “also win elections to restore the culture.” Democrats, as well as President Joe Biden’s campaign, have been heavily banking on driving voter turnout around the topic of abortion, using the issue to paint Republicans as “extreme” and a threat to women.

Trump Fundraiser Outpaces Biden’s by Massive Amount in Just One Night

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump smashed fundraising numbers in just one night, bringing in tens of millions of dollars during an exclusive campaign fundraising event.

The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee (RNC) blew President Joe Biden out of the water on Saturday after raking in more than $50.5 million during a dinner in Palm Beach.

Trump not only broke “every fundraising record in history for a Republican or Democrat,” he significantly beat Biden’s mere $26 million that he brought in during a celebrity and Democrat-packed New York City fundraiser last month.

“Tonight will be an incredible night for President Trump and the Republican Party, raising an astounding $50.5 million,” Trump campaign senior advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a statement. “Meanwhile, after locking up the nomination in one of the fastest primaries in modern political history, Donald J. Trump is winning poll after poll and proving that the enthusiasm is on his side. It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.” (Read more from “Trump Fundraiser Outpaces Biden’s by Massive Amount in Just One Night” HERE)

Trump Takes Massive Lead Over Biden, Sending Democrats Into a Downward Spiral of Worry (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Townhall. It may be a little too soon to start popping the champagne bottles, but with less than seven months until the 2024 presidential election, things are looking good for former President Donald Trump.

A recent Rasmussen poll found that Trump holds an eight-point lead over President Joe Biden— whose campaign is like looking down a black hole of nothing.

Currently, Trump has secured 49 percent of support, while Biden sits at just 41 percent.

Recent polls are forcing Democrats to face reality, admitting that they are prepared to lose in the November election.

Democrat fundraiser John Morgan admitted that he is nervous voters won’t come through for Biden as Trump continues to gain steam in the race. (Read more from “Trump Takes Massive Lead Over Biden, Sending Democrats Into a Downward Spiral of Worry” HERE)

CNN Guest Fact-Checks Wolf Blitzer in Real Time for Pushing Biden Narrative About Trump’s Words: ‘I Listened to the Tape’

By The Blaze. Republican Scott Jennings called out CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday for taking Donald Trump’s remarks about immigrants out of context.

On Tuesday, the Biden campaign posted a seven-second clip of remarks Trump made during a stop in Michigan, ripping the comments out of their context to misrepresent what Trump was saying. The campaign made it appear as if Trump had described all immigrants as “animals.” . . .

“Isn’t that brutal? Shouldn’t people be condemning that?” Blitzer asked.

Jennings not only answered the question, but he informed Blitzer that he was misrepresenting Trump’s remarks.

“I listened to the entire tape. He was specifically talking about the person who murdered Laken Riley in Georgia,” Jennings pointed out. (Read more from “CNN Guest Fact-Checks Wolf Blitzer in Real Time for Pushing Biden Narrative About Trump’s Words: ‘I Listened to the Tape'” HERE)

Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Biden finalized new civil service protections on Thursday aimed at preventing the sort of bureaucratic housecleaning that former President Donald Trump plans, should he win reelection.

At stake are potentially tens of thousands of policymaking jobs across the government and the ability to have them follow the president’s direction or face firing.

That has become a top goal of Republicans after the deep state thwarted or watered down many of Mr. Trump’s initiatives. It also has become a chief fear of Democrats.

Mr. Biden said his rules would insulate employees from such political pressure by making it tougher to reclassify their jobs and then fire them.

“Day in and day out, career civil servants provide the expertise and continuity necessary for our democracy to function,” Mr. Biden said. “This rule is a step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people.” (Read more from “Biden Moves to Block Trump, Future Presidents From Firing Deep State Bureaucrats” HERE)

Judge Rules on Trump Documents Case and Calls Jack Smith’s Demand ‘Unjust’

/3 Comments/in , /by

A Florida federal judge denied a bid by former President Donald Trump to dismiss his classified documents case on the grounds that his actions were permitted under the Presidential Records Act.

Trump’s attorneys had moved to dismiss the case on those grounds, writing in a February filing that the PRA granted “unreviewable discretion on President Trump to designate the records at issue as personal.” While U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did not grant Trump’s motion to dismiss the case on PRA grounds, she left open the possibility for Trump to raise the argument if a trial ever takes place.

Cannon also pushed back on special counsel Jack Smith‘s ‘demand’ that she make a final ruling on whether the PRA theory can be used at trial, in the event prosecutors seek to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Cannon said that demand was “unprecedented and unjust.” . . .

The first 32 counts in Smith’s indictment “make no reference to the Presidential Records Act, nor do they rely on that statute for purposes of stating an offense,” the judge wrote in a three-page order. As for the remaining counts against Trump tacked on in a superseding indictment that alleged efforts to obstruct a federal investigation, she wrote, “They too track the applicable statutory language and essential elements of the charged crimes.”

The decision comes just two days after both parties submitted their responses to Cannon’s proposed jury instructions based on competing interpretations of two laws relevant in the case. (Read more from “Judge Rules on Trump Documents Case and Calls Jack Smith’s Demand ‘Unjust’” HERE)

Trump Campaign Blasts Politico for ‘Lies’ About Don’s Record on China

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung on Thursday blasted Politico editor Catherine Kim for misrepresenting former President Donald Trump’s record on China.

In a statement titled, “Politico Carries Water for the Chinese Communist Party; Spews Lies and Falsehoods to Interfere In 2024 Election,” Cheung said:

In Politico’s Nightly newsletter, Catherine Kim makes a harebrained assertion that China would prefer President Trump to return to the White House. The same President Trump who made China submit to pro-America trade and tariff regulations, called them out for exporting the Coronavirus that killed millions across the world, and stood tough against Chinese economic aggression throughout his first term.

For a media outlet and its reporter to peddle lies and feature commentary from a ‘China expert’ named Rorry Daniels—who by the way is a Democrat donor—is laughable at best. Politico is being played by devious Chinese forces who seek to manipulate malleable American media outlets and their reporters because they know Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real disease that distorts all reasoning.

Trump Gagged After Publicizing Judge’s Family’s Direct Connection to $93 Million in Democratic Fundraising

/1 Comment/in , /by

The daughter of the judge presiding over Donald Trump’s New York hush-money trial has two significant Democratic clients who have raised over $93 million in campaign donations by fundraising off the criminal case. These clients, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Senate Majority PAC, are clients of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm where Loren Merchan, the daughter of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, is president.

In August, Merchan rejected Trump’s first recusal motion, but Trump spokesman Steven Chung says the evidence of bias is even clearer now, telling the New York Post, “Authentic Campaigns, and thus the judge’s daughter, is actively making money from this sham attack against President Trump, rendering Judge Merchan conflicted out.”

Adam Schiff’s Senate campaign has garnered a staggering $20 million in donations since it started seeking contributions based on Trump’s 34-count indictment last April, per Federal Election Commission records.

A Schiff’s fundraising email read:

It is a somber moment, and unprecedented for a former president to be indicted, but his alleged offenses are also unprecedented. Trump will respond as he always does — playing the victim and blaming others for having the temerity to investigate him in the first place.
