‘Nobody Can Be Like Us’: Trumps Praises America As ‘Glory’ Of The World, Condemns ‘Cancer’ Of Communism

/16 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump celebrated the nation’s 250th birthday Saturday night with a speech casting America as the envy of the world and warning that communism threatens its future.

Speaking to a crowd on the National Mall, Trump described the United States as a country no other could match. “For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us,” he said.

The president spent part of his remarks attacking the political left. “Communism is a loser, and it always will be,” Trump said. He compared the ideology to a disease that demands removal, calling it “like a cancer. You got to cut it out, you got to cut it out fast.”

The warning followed a run of primary victories by candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America, NewsNation reported. Trump did not name those candidates Saturday, though he has branded them communists before, according to Reuters.

Trump also revived his push for tighter voting rules. “We want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the Save America Act,” he said. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and identification to vote, but it has stalled in Congress. “You won’t have cheating on the elections anymore, it’s very simple,” Trump said.

Trump Signs 11 Pardons for Individuals ‘Persecuted’ by Biden Admin: ‘I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE’; President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

/29 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump signed 11 pardons Friday, including one for the convicted former business partner of infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a White House official told The Post.

Adam Kidan was sentenced to 70 months in prison in 2006 after pleading guilty to conspiracy and fraud charges related to his attempt, along with Abramoff, to purchase SunCruz Casinos for $147.5 million with a counterfeit wire transfer document.

Kidan, an entrepreneur, has since gone on to start multiple staffing companies and has become a major Republican donor.

The bulk of the pardons are for individuals convicted of tampering with emission control systems on cars and trucks, including by selling “defeat devices” and “tuners” to maximize the engine power, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

Trump had teased issuing six pardons to people convicted during the Biden administration for “fixing their car,” earlier Friday on Truth Social.

President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon

By TMZ. Donald Trump might be getting ready to break out the pardon pen again … and one name that’s apparently still floating around behind closed doors is Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Trump was expected to huddle with advisers Friday over a new batch of pardons … and CBS News reports Diddy remains one of several high-profile names POTUS has been privately considering.

One source told CBS … Diddy is not expected to be among the formal recommendations from the White House pardon team … though a White House official noted, “President Trump is the ultimate decider on any clemency related actions.”

The latest report lines up with what TMZ first told you back in October … when sources said Trump was “vacillating” on commuting Diddy’s sentence while some White House staffers were urging him not to. The White House Communications Office disputed our reporting at the time, but TMZ stood by the story. (Read more from “President Donald Trump Reportedly Still Mulling Over Diddy Pardon” HERE)

DOJ Vows ‘Birth Tourism’ Crackdown after Supreme Court Rules Against Trump in Birthright Citizenship Case

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Justice Department on Tuesday pledged to crack down on so-called “birth tourism” after the Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order outlawing birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and US visitors.

Colin McDonald, the DOJ’s assistant attorney general for fraud enforcement, directed federal prosecutors to “zealously protect the sanctity of United States citizenship by investigating and prosecuting those who fraudulently exploit our immigration system” by traveling to the country under “false pretenses” to give birth.

“The criminal laws of the United States already prohibit conduct inherent to so many of these so-called ‘birth tourism’ schemes,” McDonald, the administration’s “fraud czar,” wrote in a memo to DOJ employees. “For example, many such schemes start with a false visa application – with lies about the purpose or duration of one’s travel to the United States.”

McDonald included three examples of birth tourism schemes the DOJ has prosecuted in recent years.

In 2024, Michael Wei Yueh Liu and Jing Dong – a husband-and-wife team – were each sentenced to 41 months in prison after being accused of running a birth tourism business that catered to Chinese nationals. Their company – “USA Happy Baby” — charged clients tens of thousands of dollars and assisted them in fraudulently obtaining US visas, according to McDonald.

Trump Reports More than $1 Billion in Crypto Income — Plus Millions in New Foreign Deals

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump reported a financial windfall in annual disclosure documents, including more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency income and tens of millions from new foreign real estate deals since re-entering the White House.

Trump reaped a staggering $635 million from sales of his free-floating $Trump meme coin — launched three days before he took office last January — via his company CIC Digital LLC, according to his 2025 disclosures released Tuesday.

The documents list more than $236 million in additional income from selling the WLFI cryptocurrency tokens through World Liberty Financial, the company founded by Trump, special envoy Steve Witkoff and their sons in 2024.

The files list $65.6 million from a sale of equity in World Liberty — a likely reference to the reported sale of part of the company last January to companies associated with United Arab Emirates national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

Trump reported a further $205 million in proceeds from stablecoin investments, including sales of holdings in Stablecoin Holdco, which is associated with World Liberty and its issuance of the USD1 stablecoin.

SCOTUS Affirms Birthright Citizenship, Rejects Trump’s Executive Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 on Tuesday to reject President Donald Trump’s reform of the nation’s birthright citizenship policy, which now grants the huge prize of citizenship to nearly all infants born in the United States, even if the parents are illegal migrants or temporary visitors.

The long 194-page Trump v. Barbara decision says Trump’s order violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

The decision was 6 to 3 against Trump, but Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued that Trump and other politicians can change the rule via legislation.

“Citizenship, then and now,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, “was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land.’ We keep that promise today.”

The right applies even to foreign parents who sneak across the United States borders with Canada and Mexico, or who enter as temporary workers or tourists, Roberts insisted. (Read more from “SCOTUS Affirms Birthright Citizenship, Rejects Trump’s Executive Order” HERE)

Trump Must Pony up $5M to E. Jean Carroll after SCOTUS Refuses Prez’s Appeal of Sex Abuse, Defamation Verdict

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the initial $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s.

Trump slammed the ruling and vowed to continue the fight against Carroll. A separate case between the two is working its way through the legal system.

“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” he wrote on Truth Social.

“I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength. This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President,” he added.

Trump’s lawyers had argued that, as president, he should not be distracted from his executive duties in order to deal with “decades-old, false allegations.” (Read more from “Trump Must Pony up $5M to E. Jean Carroll after SCOTUS Refuses Prez’s Appeal of Sex Abuse, Defamation Verdict” HERE)

Joe Biden Barely Manages to Find His Way Offstage at Dem Gala After Seeking Directions

/0 Comments/in /by

Former President Joe Biden was back onstage at a Democratic Party gala to excoriate President Trump Saturday – but needed a little help figuring out just how to exit.

Biden, who got pushed out of his reelection bid by fellow Democrats in 2024 following his debate disaster against Trump, defended his record and blasted his successor during his speech to the Maryland Democratic Party’s Fight Back & Win summit near Baltimore.

He ripped Trump for the “deliberate distraction – destruction of NATO” and hammered Trump’s White House ballroom as a “vanity project.”

At his speech’s conclusion Biden delivered a familiar refrain about the nation’s ability to overcome challenges – then sought an assist to find out which way to leave the stage.

He turned to the side seeking guidance, then pointed in two different directions to ascertain the best route. Once he had it sorted out, he walked away from the stage with his back to the audience.

His appearance at event, held at the Live! Casino & Hotel in Hanover, Maryland, came just days after he appeared at the grand opening of the Barack Obama presidential library in Chicago. (Read more from “Joe Biden Barely Manages to Find His Way Offstage at Dem Gala After Seeking Directions” HERE)

US Strikes Iran After Trump Claims Ceasefire Was Violated

/0 Comments/in /by

The United States conducted strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic had violated the ceasefire on Friday.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces put forth a “powerful response” after Iran struck a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. aircraft struck “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” according to CENTCOM.

This comes after Iran is suspected of having struck a Singapore-flagged cargo ship with a one-way attack drone in the strait on Thursday.

“The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,” a statement from CENTCOM reads. “Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.”

“The U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect.” (Read more from “US Strikes Iran After Trump Claims Ceasefire Was Violated” HERE)

Trump says Early Reports from Venezuela are ‘Not Good’ after Deadly Earthquakes

/0 Comments/in /by

President Donald Trump said late Wednesday that two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela had caused what he described as “a devastating number of deaths” as officials continued assessing the extent of the disaster.

Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez later said at least 32 people were killed and more than 700 were injured in the earthquakes, marking the country’s first official casualty figures.

Trump’s comments came after back-to-back earthquakes rocked Venezuela earlier Wednesday, causing widespread damage, including in the capital of Caracas, where buildings were damaged, and rescue crews searched through rubble.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said the pair of “massive” earthquakes had caused widespread devastation.

“The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths,” Trump wrote.

Trump Cancels Signing Ceremony for Housing Bill Until Senate Passes SAVE America Act

/0 Comments/in /by

President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled signing ceremony of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act at the Capitol on Wednesday until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act.

Trump was scheduled to sign the housing bill into law at 1:00 p.m. ET, but announced in a Truth Social post on Wednesday morning that he would be canceling the ceremony.

“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he wrote.

The legislation, championed by Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), passed the Senate 89-10 and the House of Representatives 358-32, would ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes.

While Trump is supportive of the bill and whipped the House on voting for it after it was passed by the Senate, he is now holding off on signing it into law in a move to leverage the advancement of the SAVE America Act.
