Trump’s Rare Visit Raises Questions About Big Announcement

/41 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) is the subject of media speculation over a possible endorsement of former President Donald Trump during his visit to South Dakota on Friday for a rally with the state Republican Party.

On Friday, Trump and Noem will attend the South Dakota Republican Party’s Monumental Leaders rally as special guests at the Monument in Rapid City.

“Our Monumental Leaders rally just got 45 times better as we look forward to hearing from the original America First leader, President Donald Trump,” state GOP Chairman John Wiik said in a press release announcing the addition. “President Trump accomplished so much for our country during his time in office. As the leading presidential candidate, he can inspire our Republican Party to even greater heights.”

Trump hasn’t been to the state since delivering remarks there ahead of Independence Day in 2020. South Dakota is reliably red and isn’t a typical campaign stop for Republican candidates. Further, the state’s entire Senate delegation has endorsed Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), something that might deter a visit of this nature — unless, of course, Trump has another reason to attend.

Rumors started Thursday night about alleged plans for Noem to endorse Trump at the event. A representative for Noem didn’t confirm plans to endorse the former president but encouraged the Washington Examiner to watch the event.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Endorses Trump for President in 2024

By Daily Caller. South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem endorsed former President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday.

Noem, a supporter of the former president, endorsed Trump while introducing him at a rally held by the state Republican Party in Rapid City, South Dakota. The governor pledged her support of the former president and said she would help Trump “win and save this country.”

“This is real America. South Dakota is the example that you should share with the rest of the country. You made America great again once, let’s do it again,” Noem said in her speech. “It is my honor to present to you the Man in the arena. He is a man of significance. He is the leader, the fighter that our country needs. He has my full and complete endorsement for president of the United States of America. I will do everything I can to help him win and save this country.” (Read more from “South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem Endorses Trump for President in 2024” HERE)

Jordan Investigates Trump Special Counsel Prosecutor Over ‘Abusive’ Tactics

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced on Thursday that his panel is investigating alleged prosecutorial misconduct in special counsel Jack Smith’s documents case against former President Donald Trump and two of his aides.

A letter sent to Smith on Thursday cites media reports about allegations that Jay Bratt, a senior prosecutor involved in the special counsel’s inquiry, used “abusive” tactics. Jordan specifically raised concerns about Bratt allegedly bringing up a judgeship application in an attempt to improperly pressure a lawyer for Trump’s associate and co-defendant Walter Nauta. In addition, the chairman noted that Bratt later filed a motion alleging conflicts of interest involving the same lawyer, Stanley Woodward.

“The Department’s mission is to ensure impartial justice by upholding the rule of law, requiring all Department employees — including Mr. Bratt — to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct,” Jordan wrote. “Mr. Bratt’s attempt to bully Mr. Nauta in cooperating, first by extorting his attorney and then by alleging a conflict of interest that precludes his attorney from the case, seriously calls into question your team and your ability to remain impartial and uphold the Department’s mission.”

The chairman demanded various documents and records related to Woodward, his representation of Nauta and others, as well as his application to fill a vacancy on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. A deadline of 5 p.m. on September 21 was given. (Read more from “Jordan Investigates Trump Special Counsel Prosecutor Over ‘Abusive’ Tactics” HERE)

Majority of Republicans Not Worried About Trump Electability in Face of Indictments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A majority of Republicans do not believe the indictments against former President Donald Trump will affect his ability to be elected in 2024, according to a new CNN poll.

Fifty-six percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents said they aren’t seriously concerned about the effect the charges will have next year if he becomes the GOP nominee. The former president has been indicted in four different cases this year, two local and two federal, that deal chiefly with his handling of classified documents and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

A larger portion of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents indicated that even if the charges are true, they are not relevant to his ability to serve as president. Seventy percent dismissed the charges related to alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, as irrelevant. As for the charges over classified documents, the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, 64% said they weren’t relevant.

Biden Uses Labor Day Address to Bash Trump: ’The Great Real Estate Builder Didn’t Build a Damn Thing’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

President Joe Biden used his Labor Day address to attack his predecessor, Donald Trump, by claiming that the famed real estate mogul “didn’t build a damn thing.”

Speaking in the swing state of Pennsylvania — a heavy working-class state — during a Labor Day rally, President Biden said that infrastructure became a “punchline” under Trump.

“Guess what? The great real estate builder, the last guy here, he didn’t build a damn thing,” said Biden. “Under my predecessor, ‘Infrastructure Week’ became a punchline. On my watch, infrastructure means a decade, and it’s a headline.”

Biden even went as far as to say that Trump exported jobs to China, even though the former president took a firm stance against exporting jobs to foreign countries during his presidency, especially during the 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton. The former president also imposed tariffs on Chinese goods.

“When the last guy was here, you were shipping jobs to China. Now we’re bringing jobs home from China,” Biden claimed. “When the last guy was here, your pensions were at risk. We helped save millions of pensions with your help.” (Read more from “Biden Uses Labor Day Address to Bash Trump: ’The Great Real Estate Builder Didn’t Build a Damn Thing’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Another Poll Shows Grim Numbers for Biden on Age Question

/0 Comments/in , /by

A large majority of voters say President Joe Biden is too old to run for another term in the White House, according to a new poll.

The Wall Street Journal published the findings of a survey on Monday that found 73% of voters viewed Biden, 80, as being too old to run for president. Two-thirds of Democrats espoused this view, closely aligning with the findings of a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.

Voters faced the same question regarding 77-year-old former President Donald Trump, who is also running a campaign for a second term as the GOP frontrunner. Forty-seven percent of voters said Trump is too old.

“Voters are looking for change, and neither of the leading candidates is the change that they’re looking for,” insisted Democratic pollster Michael Bocian, who conducted the survey with Republican colleague Tony Fabrizio, who does surveys for a super PAC that supports Trump’s candidacy.

Top Democrats Back ‘Dangerous’ Legal Theory to Block Americans From Voting for Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two top Democrats backed on Sunday the theory that former President Donald Trump could be disqualified from running under the 14th Amendment, Axios reported.

Democratic Representatives Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia backed the idea that Trump could be blocked from the 2024 ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which maintains that anyone who “engaged in insurrection” cannot hold elected office, according to Axios. Free Speech For People, a Democratic-aligned group, also sent letters to secretaries of state in key 2024 states last week claiming Trump should be removed from the ballot.

Shiff said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that the disqualification “fits Donald Trump to a T.”

“If you engage in acts of insurrection or rebellion against the government, or you give aid and comfort to those who do, you are disqualified from running,” Schiff said. “It doesn’t require that you be convicted of insurrection. It just requires that you have engaged in these acts.”

Kaine told ABC News there is “a powerful argument to be made” for disqualification. (Read more from “Top Democrats Back ‘Dangerous’ Legal Theory to Block Americans From Voting for Trump” HERE)

Ramaswamy: Trump’s Indictments Making U.S. A ‘Banana Republic’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump’s indictments were making the United States a “banana republic.”

“This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Your hand shot up pretty fast at the debate when you were asked whether you would vote for Donald Trump in the general election, even if he was a convicted felon. Can you just explain why you would vote for a convicted felon for president?” . . .

Ramaswamy said, “So look. I think that many of these prosecutions against Donald Trump are outright, downright politicized persecutions through prosecution that set an awful precedent for our country. I do not want to see us become a banana republic where the administrative police state uses police force to eliminate opponents from competition. That is not the way it works. I will pick who I believe the best next president should be.” (Read more from “Ramaswamy: Trump’s Indictments Making U.S. A ‘Banana Republic’ HERE)

Liberal Outlet Issues Massive Correction to Story About Alleged Fake Trump Interview

/17 Comments/in , , /by

Left-wing outlet The Daily Beast issued a substantial correction on Friday regarding its reporting that the owner of Real America’s Voice told them the network was investigating whether an interview with former President Donald Trump was a fake impersonation.

The Daily Beast’s original article claimed that Real America’s Voice Owner Robert J. Sigg said that an investigation was underway into the Trump interview hosted by John Solomon and Amanda Head, and it quoted Sigg as criticizing the staff members, according to an archived version of the article. The liberal outlet issued an editor’s note on Friday that “a spokesperson for Real America’s Voice said that it was not Sigg” who was interviewed.

“This story has been updated to remove quotes attributed to the owner of Real America’s Voice, Robert Sigg, saying he is investigating whether the call was a prank and criticizing network staffers,” the editor’s note states. “A Daily Beast reporter had a conversation by text with a person who identified themselves as Sigg, on a number public records show was once associated with Sigg—but a spokesperson for Real America’s Voice said that it was not Sigg and is not his current number.”

There was online speculation that the Trump phone interview was either with a prankster or AI because of the glitchy connection and voice, according to The Daily Beast. However, Trump posted a clip from the interview on Truth Social, stating that “crooked Joe Biden is the most incompetent President in history, and he’s the most corrupt President in history,” and a member of his campaign confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation the interview was real.

Trump to ‘COVID Tyrants’: ‘We Will Not Comply’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump in a campaign video Wednesday made a defiant reply to “left-wing lunatics” and “COVID tyrants” who are “trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with their sudden fear-mongering about variants”: “We will not comply.”

Trump mocked the timing of the resurgent COVID hysteria, saying, “Gee-whiz, you know what else is coming? An election.”

“They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail-in ballots, and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election. Does that sound familiar?” he said in the statement, which is posted on the “Team Trump” X account with the words: “COVID Tyrants want to take away our Freedom. Hear my words – WE WILL NOT COMPLY.” (Team Trump is the official X account for the Trump campaign.)

. . .”But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words: we will not comply,” he said. “So don’t even think about it. We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates.”

“They rigged the 2020 election and now they’re trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important election in the history of our country – the 2024 election – even if it means trying to bring back COVID,” he said.

Donald Trump Says Democrats Will Impeach Joe Biden

/28 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. Former President Donald Trump said that he believes Democrats in Congress will face pressure to vote in favor of impeaching President Joe Biden.

In an interview with John Solomon on RealAmericasVoice, Trump urged Congress to impeach Biden, calling him the “most corrupt president in history.” While expressing faith that Republicans would vote in favor due to pressure from their base, the former president went a step further and claimed that Democrats in Congress would face similar pressure.

“The bottom line is, if this cash is true, if all these things are true, you know, the statement is true about the billion dollars because he’s got that,” Trump said, referring to the case against Biden on corruption grounds.

“I actually think there’d be pressure on Democrats to vote for it because I don’t know how you … run as a Democrat when you see such unbelievable corruption, and then you say, ‘we’re gonna vote … that Joe Biden is innocent,'” Trump said.

White House Warns GOP Biden Impeachment Will Backfire

By The Hill. The White House is warning House Republicans that a potential impeachment inquiry into President Biden will only backfire on an already fractured conference.

The possibility of an impeachment inquiry appears to be growing, with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) giving signals recently that one could be launched as soon as September.

Republicans have hammered the White House over allegations of corruption in the form of the business and lobbying work of Hunter Biden, the president’s son, arguing the younger Biden used his ties to power to win business in Ukraine.

Conservative media is also shouldering into the Biden-corruption narrative, particularly in the context of former President Trump’s two federal indictments being brought by Biden’s Justice Department, with a number of Republicans and GOP voters itching to take a fight to Biden over what they claim are politically motivated investigations of his predecessor.

But through it all, the White House remains steadfastly confident that if the GOP goes forward with an inquiry, one that would center on the Biden family’s finances, it will hurt Republicans more than it could hurt Biden.
