State Official Faces Lawsuit From GOP Over ‘Impossibly High’ Voter Registration

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Republican National Committee (RNC) slapped Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguliar with a lawsuit on Friday, alleging that the state has “impossibly high” voter registration rolls.

The lawsuit alleges that the state of Nevada is failing to maintain the requirements of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) which mandates that voter rolls must keep “clean and accurate voter registration records.” The RNC is alleging that according to their analysis, five of Nevada’s 17 counties have inflated voter rolls which they say indicates a violation of the NVRA, the lawsuit claims.

“Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that’s why the National Voter Registration Act requires state officials to keep their rolls accurate and up-to-date,” RNC Co-Chair Michael Whatley wrote in a Monday press release. “Nevada has universal mail voting and no voter ID requirement, which makes Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s failure to comply with the NVRA and provide accurate voter rolls all the more concerning. Securing clean voter rolls in Nevada is a critical step towards ensuring that it will be easy to vote and hard to cheat.”

“At least three Nevada counties have more registered voters than they have adult citizens who are over the age of 18,” the lawsuit alleges. “That number of voters is impossibly high.” (Read more from “State Official Faces Lawsuit From GOP Over ‘Impossibly High’ Voter Registration” HERE)

Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with GB News host Nigel Farage that if he is reelected, the United States will stay in NATO if other nations pay their “fair share.”

Farage said, “You said this back in 2017 and 18 when you were president, you visited Brussels, and you commented that the Russians can do whatever they want if these countries don’t pay. You said it again recently. That’s now being used.”

Trump said, “They can use it, I don’t care if they use it. Because what I’m saying is a form of negotiation. Why should we guard these countries that have a lot of money, and the United States was paying for most of NATO? When I went there, I had already had it out with them. They then stopped paying again. But now they’re paying because of those comments that you saw two, three weeks ago. I don’t know if you know, but a lot of money’s come in since those comments were made.”

He continued, “NATO was not paying. I went to the first meeting early in my administration, and I saw what was going on, and I said, ‘You’re going to have to pay your bills, everybody.’ Then, at the second meeting, I hit them hard. The question was then asked by the head of a major country in front of everyone else: ‘So if we don’t pay our bills, are you going to protect us from Russia?’ I said, ‘You mean you’re delinquent? You’re not paying the bills? Then no, I’m not going to pay you. We’re not going to do it. We’re not going to defend you if you’re not paying your bills.’ It’s very simple. And hundreds of billions of dollars came flowing in.” (Read more from “Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’” HERE)

Trump: Any Jewish Person Who Votes for Democrats ‘Hates Their Religion’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has come under fire for saying that Jewish people who vote for Democrats “hate their religion.”

In an interview on Monday with Sebastian Gorka, a former White House aide of his, Trump was asked about several prominent Democrats’ criticisms of Israel’s government, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and President Joe Biden. Trump responded by accusing Democrats of hating Israel and questioning the faith of the Jewish people who support them.

“I actually think they hate Israel,” Trump said. “I think they hate Israel. And the Democrat party hates Israel.”

“Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion,” he added later in the interview. “They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”

He reiterated comments he made on Sunday about Schumer’s motivations, saying Democrats only criticized Israel due to cynical self-interest, seeing potential votes from pro-Palestinians. (Read more from “Trump: Any Jewish Person Who Votes for Democrats ‘Hates Their Religion’” HERE)

Biden and the Media Peddle Dishonest Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Smear

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden and the media peddled a dishonest smear over the weekend, claiming that former President Donald Trump was inciting political violence when he said there would be a “bloodbath” in the country if he does not win in November.

The Trump comment used to advance this false narrative was made by the former president on Saturday during a campaign rally in Ohio, where he was discussing the effect of Biden’s automotive import policies and how he would place tariffs on Chinese vehicles.

“We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected,” Trump said. “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”

It is quite clear from the context of the quote that Trump is referring to the auto industry and the effect of Biden’s policies on automotive manufacturing jobs. But in an act of blatant dishonesty, the Biden campaign and legacy media outlets twisted the former president’s comments to seem like he was promising violence should he lose the election.

Biden campaign spokesman James Singer said the comment was evidence of “who Donald Trump is” and that he would ensure more political violence. (Read more from “Biden and the Media Peddle Dishonest Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Smear” HERE)

Ex-Network Anchor Hints at Assassination of Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Keith Olbermann, formerly an MSNBC anchor known for his wild and outlandish ideas, such as his suggestion to dissolve the U.S. Supreme Court, now has gone on social media with an implied threat to President Donald Trump.

There’s always the hope https://t.co/SBlFO3kKnA

— Keith Olbermann⌚️ (@KeithOlbermann) March 16, 2024

It was a Joe Biden campaign account that commented about Trump explaining he’s been persecuted worse than any president in history, including Abraham Lincoln, and Olbermann said, “There’s always the hope.”
Fox News cited Olbermann’s reputation for “inflammatory” statements.

Fox reported, “One account that responded to Olbermann’s post suggested the commentator’s account should be ‘permanently suspended’ for appearing to endorse someone killing Trump, the presumptive nominee for the 2024 Republican nomination. Trump is trying to become only the second president since Grover Cleveland to win another White House term after losing a previous re-election bid.” (Read more from “Ex-Network Anchor Hints at Assassination of Trump” HERE)

Joe Scarborough Deletes Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Post After Reply From Elon Musk

/0 Comments/in , /by

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough deleted a social media post about Trump’s “bloodbath” remark after receiving a reply from Elon Musk.

Former President Donald Trump said at a Saturday rally in Ohio that there would be a “bloodbath” for the country while railing against jobs in the auto industry being offshored to other countries under the Biden administration. Musk responded to Scarborough, who then deleted his own post, after the “Morning Joe” host posted footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot on X.

“Donald Trump’s America. And he’s proud of it,” Scarborough wrote in the now-deleted post. “Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.”

“Jan 6 was not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading,” Musk replied.

Trump’s “bloodbath” comment was made as the 2024 Republican presidential nominee riffed about how countries like Mexico and China are financially benefitting from President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) policies.

Donald Trump Files Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis From Georgia Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump filed a motion on Monday to disqualify Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis from the Georgia election interference case.

“President Trump and seven defendants have jointly filed a motion requesting the court to grant a certificate of immediate review of its order denying dismissal of the case and disqualification of Fulton County DA Willis,” Steve Sadow, Trump’s lead Georgia attorney, said in a statement.

“The motion notes that the court found that Willis’ actions created an appearance of impropriety and an ‘odor of mendacity’ that lingers in this case, but it nonetheless refused to dismiss the case or disqualify her,” Sadow continued.

“The motion further notes that the court found Georgia case law lacks controlling precedent for the standard for disqualification of a prosecuting attorney for forensic misconduct. For these reasons among others, the court’s order is ripe for pretrial appellate review.”

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee ruled Friday that Willis can remain on the Trump case if Nathan Wade, fellow prosecutor and ex-lover, is removed by Willis or voluntarily resigns. Wade resigned hours later. (Read more from “Donald Trump Files Motion to Disqualify Fani Willis From Georgia Case” HERE)

Elon Musk Defends Trump and Slams Establishment Media for Taking Quote Out of Context

/2 Comments/in , /by

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is defending former President Donald Trump on Sunday after multiple establishment media outlets ran headlines stating that the former president warned the U.S. would see a “bloodbath” if he is not reelected.

Although Trump did use the word “bloodbath” during a speech in Ohio on Saturday, outlets such as NPR, Politico, The Hill, NBC News, The New York Times and others used the term in headlines without context. Musk said the headlines were “legacy media lies” and he made multiple posts Sunday criticizing their use of the term and stressing the need for context.

Musk responded to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough’s post on X, formerly Twitter, of video clips from the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and the caption: “Donald Trump’s America. And he is proud of it. Promised another ‘bloodbath’ if he loses again.”

“Jan 6 was not a ‘bloodbath’ by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word,” Musk, the owner of X, replied to Scarborough. “Your post is extremely misleading.”

When Trump used the word “bloodbath,” he was discussing China’s reported plans to build cars in Mexico and sell them cheaply in the United States.

Trump Contemplates “Abortion Limits” Decision

/2 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he will soon make a decision on whether to campaign on abortion limits in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election. In an interview with Fox News Mediabuzz host Howard Kurtz, Trump addressed the issue.

While Trump has neither confirmed nor denied recent reports suggesting his support for a 16-week abortion limit, he plans on making a decision soon. He expressed a desire to find a balance that could satisfy both sides of the abortion debate, and aims to address concerns from both republicans and democrats.

During the interview, Trump criticized the Democratic Party’s stance on abortion, labeling its members as “radicals” for advocating abortion access up to nine months. He believes there’s a need to understand the importance of exceptions for cases involving rape, incest, and the health of the mother.

Trump acknowledged the challenges faced by Virginia Republicans, citing the loss of control of the House of Delegates after campaigning on a 15-week abortion ban with exceptions. He also attributed the party’s underperformance in the 2022 midterm elections partially to the abortion issue.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has notably refrained from endorsing Trump for the 2024 election, citing concerns about departing from traditional conservative policies. Despite participating in a pledge by the Republican National Convention to support the party’s nominee, Pence’s stance reflects ongoing divisions within the GOP.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is expected to strongly advocate for abortion rights during the 2024 campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris recently visited a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota as part of her “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” campaign tour.

LOL: Biden Blasts Trump as ‘Too Old and Mentally Unfit’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden said that former President Donald Trump was mentally unfit for office, in contrast with himself, Saturday night.

Biden, 81, attended the annual Gridiron Club and Foundation Dinner for the first time during his presidency. The dinner is known for its comedic atmosphere and the attendance of foreign heads of state, with Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar attending this year. Biden turned the focus of part of his speech to his own and Trump’s, 77, mental acuity, saying that one candidate was too old and mentally unfit for the job.

“One candidate’s too old and mentally unfit to be president,” Biden said. “The other guy’s me.”

“Don’t tell him, he thinks he’s running against Barack Obama, that’s what he said,” Biden quipped. (Read more from “LOL: Biden Blasts Trump as ‘Too Old and Mentally Unfit’” HERE)
