Big Win for Trump as Appeals Court Blocks Liberal Judges from Releasing Migrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s lawyers scored big on Friday when a Texas-based appeals court allowed officials to hold arrested migrants in detention so their migration cases can be quickly decided.

“ENORMOUS Immigration win for President Trump,” said Eric Wessen, the Solicitor General in Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office. He added:

The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed!

The 2:1 decision “is a big deal,” said Ilya Shapiro, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute.

“After reviewing carefully the relevant provisions and structure of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, the statutory history, and Congressional intent, we conclude that the government’s position is correct,” the three-judge court decided.

Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump referred to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as a “moron” at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday.

“He’s an automatic no. No matter what,” Trump said, referencing Massie’s opposition to past legislation pushed by the president and other Republicans.

“If we did welfare reform, if we did the greatest thing in the history for religion, no matter what we did, no matter how good it is,” he continued. “No matter what we do, this moron, no matter what it is.”

“We’ll put [the top five things] in one bill,” he said. “We’ll get a 100 percent vote, except for this guy named Thomas Massie. There’s something wrong with him. We call him Rand Paul Jr.”

GOP Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) also frequently opposes legislation bolstered by Republicans. (Read more from “Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast” HERE)

Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is planning to install a statue of Christopher Columbus on the south side of the White House, sources told the Washington Post on Wednesday.

The statue will reportedly be a reconstruction of a statue unveiled by former President Ronald Reagan in Baltimore, Maryland, that had been dumped into the city’s harbor by Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020, according to the Post. Bill Martin, an Italian American businessman who helped recover and rebuild the original statue, said the sculpture is expected to be transferred from a Maryland warehouse to the White House in the coming weeks.

The White House said that Trump will continue to honor Columbus, emphasizing that the explorer is a hero.

“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. “And he will continue to be honored as such by President Trump.”

Trump has expressed staunch support for Columbus, in part by reinstating Columbus Day in honor of Italian Americans. In October, he signed a proclamation to commemorate Columbus’ life with “reverence and gratitude.” (Read more from “Report: Trump to Erect Christopher Columbus Statue Outside White House” HERE)

Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Plotting to Kill Trump in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

A man who plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course in September 2024, two months before the US election, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.

Ryan Routh, 59, was convicted in September of trying to kill then-candidate Trump, the second attempt on the billionaire’s life in the run-up to the vote that brought him back to the White House.

According to an AFP journalist in the courtroom, Judge Aileen Cannon handed down the sentence of life plus seven years after a 90-minute hearing, saying it was “to protect the public from future crime” committed by Routh.

“The evil is in you. Not in everybody else,” she told him.

Routh was arrested on September 15, 2024 after a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of a rifle poking from the bushes on the perimeter of the West Palm Beach golf course, where Trump was playing a round ahead of the November election.

Move On, Says Trump as Epstein Files Trigger Probe Into British Ambassador

/3 Comments/in , , /by

US President Donald Trump made a fresh plea Tuesday for Americans to move on from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, even as it left a prominent British politician facing a criminal probe on the other side of the Atlantic.

Former British ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson resigned from the upper house of parliament amid allegations he passed confidential information to late sex offender Epstein.

The fallout from the latest release of millions of documents linked to Epstein continued in the United States too, where former president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary will testify in Congress later this month. . .

“Nothing came out about me other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people. But I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get on to something else like health care or something that people care about,” Trump said.

Trump added that it was “not a Republican, it’s a Democrat problem,” in a bid to turn the issue back to the Clintons, and away from the mention in the files of allies including his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and billionaire Elon Musk.

FBI Memo Says Israel ‘Compromised’ Trump, Epstein Had Mossad Ties

/4 Comments/in , /by

A declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.

The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.

The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.

“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.

Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine. . .

It identifies Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as a supporter of the group and a key force within Trump’s inner circle. (Read more from “FBI Memo Says Israel ‘Compromised’ Trump, Epstein Had Mossad Ties” HERE)

Trump: India Agrees to Stop Buying Russian Oil, Enter Trade Deal with U.S.

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced Monday that the United States and India have reached a trade agreement and that India has committed to stop buying Russian oil.

Trump revealed the developments in a Truth Social post on Monday and called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi one of his “greatest friends” after speaking with him in the morning.

“We spoke about many things, including Trade, and ending the War with Russia and Ukraine. He agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela,” Trump wrote.

“This will help END THE WAR in Ukraine, which is taking place right now, with thousands of people dying each and every week!” he added.

Trump Considers Legal Action Against Michael Wolff and Epstein Estate After Latest Document Release

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has threatened legal action against author Michael Wolff and the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, insisting a newly released trove of Epstein-related files clears him of wrongdoing.

Trump was aboard Air Force One during a flight to Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday when he responded to a reporter’s question about the more than 3 million Epstein-related records and personal emails that the Justice Department released Friday.

“It looked like this guy, Wolff, was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm to me,” Trump said. “I didn’t see it myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left, that Wolff, who’s a third-rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me, politically or otherwise, and that came through loud and clear.”

Trump said there was a high likelihood that he would sue Wolff and the Epstein estate “because he was conspiring with Wolff to do harm to me politically. That’s not a friend.”

In one March 2016 email between Epstein and Wolff that Fox News Digital reviewed, Wolff is encouraging Epstein to come up with an “immediate counter narrative” to James Patterson’s book about him, “Filthy Rich: A Powerful Billionaire, the Sex Scandal that Undid Him, and All the Justice that Money Can Buy.” (Read more from “Trump Considers Legal Action Against Michael Wolff and Epstein Estate After Latest Document Release” HERE)

Trump’s DOJ Scrambles to Take Back Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s Justice Department has been forced to take down thousands of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein that may have identified victims, admitting that “technical or human error” had botched the process.

In another embarrassing blow to Attorney General Pam Bondi and her department, the names and identifying information of numerous victims of the late sex offender were released unredacted on Friday, including several women whose names have never before been publicly associated with the case.

Justice officials were forced to address the issue in court on Monday, after survivors demanded that the DOJ site be taken down because of the redaction failures.

“The Department now has taken down several thousands of documents and media that may have inadvertently included victim-identifying information due to various factors, including technical or human error,” the DOJ said in a letter to two U.S. District Court judges with the Southern District of New York.

“As of the date of this letter, the Department now has taken down nearly all of those materials specifically identified by victims or their counsel, as well as a substantial number of documents identified independently by the Department. The Department is reviewing those documents and will re-process them.” (Read more from “Trump’s DOJ Scrambles to Take Back Epstein Files” HERE)

Affordability Fact Check: Trump Can’t Hide From Higher Prices

/2 Comments/in , /by

“Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming. Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been defeated.”

That verdict was proclaimed by the highest authority in the land — President Trump himself, notifying an Iowa audience Tuesday about the transcendent blessings of his reign. . .

Yet on Nov. 29, Trump proclaimed on Truth Social: “I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT.” Six weeks later, he sneered in Detroit that affordability is a “fake word by Democrats.” . . .

Natural-gas prices rose 56% last year. Energy costs in general have risen almost 6% since Trump took office. . .

In that same 2024 campaign speech, Trump promised, “Prices will come down . . . fast, not only with insurance, with everything.”

Auto-insurance prices have jumped 12% since 2024, and homeowner’s insurance rates have jumped 9%. (Read more from “Affordability Fact Check: Trump Can’t Hide From Higher Prices” HERE)
