Trump Reveals Secret ‘Discombobulator’ Weapon Was Crucial to Venezuelan Raid, Capture of Maduro

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump told The Post that a secret new weapon he calls “The Discombobulator” was essential to the daring US raid that captured Venezuela’s drug-dealing dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Trump boasted that the mysterious weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work” when US helicopters swooped into Caracas on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on federal drug and weapons charges — without losing a single American life.

“The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.

“I would love to,” the president added, before confirming its use in the stealth operation.

“They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us.”

Trump commented on the weapon when asked about reports this week that the Biden administration purchased a pulsed energy weapon suspected of being the type that caused “Havana Syndrome.” (Read more from “Trump Reveals Secret ‘Discombobulator’ Weapon Was Crucial to Venezuelan Raid, Capture of Maduro” HERE)

Trump Tells Europe To Put Its Big Boy Pants On

/0 Comments/in , /by

Every year, world leaders and world leader wannabes gather in Davos to congratulate themselves on their commitment to globalization, or shutting down coal plants, or anti-racism, or whatever.

The Davos summit is the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), a think tank founded by Klaus Schwab. Davos claims it is “committed to improving the state of the world.” Certainly, European WEF members would like to think they’re improving the state of the world — even as they plunge their native countries into crisis.

President Donald Trump has interrupted the self-indulgent theatrics with typical Trump panache.

The Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, Byron York, summarized Trump’s message to Europe in four points.

In the first place, “Trump told Europe: You’re killing yourself with mass migration. Stop.” Migration remains a top issue for European leaders and voters, with countries competing to take less migrants than their neighbors.

In the second place, Trump told the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), “You’ve got to spend more on your own defense.” (Read more from “Trump Tells Europe To Put Its Big Boy Pants On” HERE)

‘It Was Terrible Judgment’: Famous Singer Says He Regrets Vile Comment About Trump

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass expressed deep regret after joking about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a concert in 2024.

He admitted to causing a “shitstorm” after making an ill-timed comment on stage soon after a bullet grazed Trump and left him bloodied.

On July 14, 2024, Tenacious D, the comedy rock group Gass co-founded with Jack Black, performed at the ICC Sydney Theatre. It also happened to be Gass’ birthday.

Gass said he had heard the news of the attempted assassination, but he admitted the reality of the situation didn’t sink in, according to an interview with Rolling Stone published Wednesday.

A cake was brought to the stage during the concert and when asked to make a wish, Gass said, “Don’t miss Trump next time!”

“It was a very low moment for me,” Gass admitted.

Trump Says a ‘Massive’ Armada Is Heading Toward Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said Thursday that the US has an “armada” headed toward Iran — but that “maybe we won’t have to use it” — as he remained coy about his intentions after authorities slaughtered protesters this month.

“We have a lot of ships going that direction just in case. We have a big flotilla going in that direction. And we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

On Tuesday, the USS Abraham Lincoln, which had been in the South China Sea in recent days, was spotted making its way to the region, according to ship-tracking data.

The aircraft carrier and three accompanying destroyers were all confirmed to be heading west, a US Navy official told the Associated Press.

The USS George H.W. Bush is also at sea in the Atlantic Ocean – bound for Europe – after departing from Virginia’s Naval Station Norfolk last week.

The aircraft carrier is conducting “live-fire exercises” and other training activities, per a post on the ship’s official Facebook page. (Read more from “Trump Says a ‘Massive’ Armada Is Heading Toward Iran” HERE)

Study: Murders in U.S. Plummeted During First Year of Trump’s Second Term

/0 Comments/in , /by

A study conducted by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) shows that murders in the U.S. plummeted during 2025, the first year of President Trump’s second term.

According to the study, “The rate of reported homicides was 21% lower in 2025 than in 2024 in the 35 study cities providing data for that crime.” In raw numbers, this means approximately 922 fewer homicides in 2025 versus 2024.

The CCJ believe that FBI data, which will be released later this year, may show 2025 had “the lowest…[homicide] rate ever recorded in law enforcement or public health data going back to 1900.”

The researchers behind the study also looked at violent crime and found “violent crime overall in 2025 was at or below levels in 2019.”

The CCJ suggests the lower numbers are “likely the result of a complex tangle of broad social and technological changes and direct policy interventions.” (Read more from “Study: Murders in U.S. Plummeted During First Year of Trump’s Second Term” HERE)

Trump Announces ‘Framework of a Future Deal’ Regarding Greenland, ‘Entire Arctic Region’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte have established a framework for a future deal regarding not only Greenland, but “the entire Arctic Region.”

Trump took to Truth Social after meeting with Rutte at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, hours after he said the United States would not use force to take Greenland.

“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” he wrote.

“This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st,” he added.

As the possibility of a near-term trade war over Greenland faded on Wednesday, stocks began to rise. (Read more from “Trump Announces ‘Framework of a Future Deal’ Regarding Greenland, ‘Entire Arctic Region’” HERE)

Air Force One Makes U-Turn Over Atlantic, Returns To Andrews AFB

/0 Comments/in , /by

Air Force One turned around while en route to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland Tuesday night.

The crew reportedly detected a “minor electrical issue” and decided to return to Andrews Air Force Base “out of an abundance of caution,” with President Donald Trump and his team planning to board another aircraft. Trump was en route to the WEF to give a “Special Address” Wednesday afternoon local time when the issue occurred.

Washington Examiner White House reporter Mabinty Quarshie, a member of the “out-of-town” press pool, noted the lights in the Air Force One cabin went out without explanation shortly after takeoff before the aircraft turned back while over the Atlantic Ocean. Air Force One made a safe landing at Andrews Air Force Base, where Trump and those on the VC-25 will take two smaller aircraft, CNN reported.

“[White House Press Secretary Karoline] Leavitt made a joke about the Qatari jet sounding ‘much better’ right now,” Quarshie wrote in the report sent out to reporters. (Read more from “Air Force One Makes U-Turn Over Atlantic, Returns To Andrews AFB” HERE)

Trump Gives Cryptic 3-Word Response When Asked How Far He’ll Go to Get Greenland

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Fox News. President Donald Trump fueled fresh uncertainty Tuesday, offering a terse “you’ll see” when asked at the White House how far he would go to get Greenland.

Trump dismissed concerns that Greenlanders do not want to join the U.S. and that a move to seize the island would undermine the NATO alliance.

In recent weeks, Trump has zeroed in on Greenland, the world’s largest island and a strategic outpost in the Arctic.

The remote, semi-autonomous Danish territory, a NATO ally, hosts a key U.S. military base and occupies a strategic position in an Arctic region growing more competitive as melting ice opens new shipping lanes and access to critical resources.

Trump has repeatedly framed Greenland as a national security necessity, arguing that Russia and China would gain ground in the region if the U.S. does not acquire it. (Read more from “Trump Gives Cryptic 3-Word Response When Asked How Far He’ll Go to Get Greenland” HERE)

Trump’s Greenland threats spark outrage from EU and test longtime NATO alliance

By KIRO 7. President Donald Trump ‘s pledge to provoke a sweeping tariff fight with Europe to get his way in taking control of Greenland has left many of America’s closest allies warning of a rupture with Washington capable of shattering the NATO alliance that had once seemed unshakable.

The European Union’s top official on Tuesday called Trump’s planned new tariffs over Greenland a “mistake” and questioned Trump’s trustworthiness. French President Emmanuel Macron said the EU could retaliate by deploying one of its most powerful economic tools, known colloquially as a trade “bazooka.”

Trump prides himself on ratcheting up pressure to try to negotiate through a position of strength. He was leaving Tuesday — the anniversary of his inauguration — for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a venue that offers Trump the chance to defuse tensions as quickly as he stirred them up.

But European leaders — digging in and vowing to defend Denmark and its control over semiautonomous Greenland — may be seeking just as hard to meet an extraordinary moment with a show of their fierce resolve.

That could hurt the chances of Trump finding a quick way to turn around the crisis. Greenland’s leader insisted on respect for its territorial integrity and said recognition of international law is “not a game.” (Read more from “Trump’s Greenland threats spark outrage from EU and test longtime NATO alliance” HERE)

Trump Shares Private Texts From Macron and NATO Chief, Saying They ‘Made My Point’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he shared private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on social media because they “made my point.”

“It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,” Trump said in an interview with The New York Post.

The president posted screenshots of text messages from Macron and Rutte on his Truth Social platform that praised him for his work in Syria, Gaza and Ukraine.

Macron offered to set up a G7 meeting in Paris after the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and have dinner with Trump before he heads back to the White House.

A White House official told Fox News that Trump has no plans to travel to Paris at this time. (Read more from “Trump Shares Private Texts From Macron and NATO Chief, Saying They ‘Made My Point’” HERE)

Trump Rips ‘Crooked’ Ilhan Omar as House Ramps Up Investigation Into Exploding Net Worth

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., a member of the far-left “Squad” in the House, over her multi-million dollar net worth during a news conference from the White House Tuesday afternoon.

Trump called the Somali-born lawmaker from Minnesota “crooked” on Tuesday amid a probe by Congressional Republicans on the House Oversight Committee looking into how Omar’s wealth exploded after becoming a lawmaker. In just one year, Omar’s net worth reportedly jumped $30 million, according to financial disclosures first reported last week.

“I was told that Ilhan Omar is worth $30 million,” Trump then quipped. “She never had a job. She’s a crooked congressman. So here you – it’s another one.

“Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion, at a minimum, is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree, but, by Somalians – they’ve taken it. Somalians. Can you imagine? And they don’t do it, a lot of very low IQ people, they don’t do it. Other people work it out, and they get them money and they go out and buy Mercedes-Benz’s.

“They have no money. They never had money. They never had a life. They never had a government. They never had a country because there’s basically no country. Somalia is not even a country. They don’t have anything that resembles a country. And if it is a country, it’s considered just about the worst in the world. They come here, and they become rich and they don’t have a job,” Trump complained from the podium in the White House briefing room before turning his focus to Omar.
