Dog-walking Nancy Mace drops F-bomb as she learns of Netanyahu’s brag about Trump

/1 Comment/in , /by

MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace hurled an expletive Tuesday as she learned that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bragged on live TV that he manipulated Donald Trump into attacking Iran.

Viewers were left gasping as Netanyahu revealed he ran an “influence” campaign he claimed helped drag America into the widely unpopular war — that has now been going on for six months, has killed an estimated 18 Americans and left Trump’s popularity ratings plummeting.

Mace was told about the claims as she walked what looked like a Havanese she called Millie into the Capitol Friday.

“If it’s true, it’s kind of f—-ed up,” said the South Carolina Republican, who is leaving Congress in January after stepping down to unsuccessfully run for governor. She added that she hadn’t seen the video of the Israeli leader speaking. . .

Facing grim poll numbers ahead of October elections, Netanyahu sat down with Israeli network Channel 14 Sunday to make his case to voters. Speaking in Hebrew, he described decades of opposition to Iran and claimed it eventually paid off.

“I’ve been against Iran for almost 40 years… it took a long time to bring the United States to its senses,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew, according to Zeteo’s Prem Thakker. (Read more from “Dog-walking Nancy Mace drops F-bomb as she learns of Netanyahu’s brag about Trump” HERE)

Milo Yiannopoulos Tells Piers Morgan He’s ‘Very Ashamed’ of Supporting Trump Following ICE Arrest

/1 Comment/in , /by

In his first interview since being detained by ICE and deported, far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos said he is “very ashamed” to have ever supported President Donald Trump.

Yiannopoulos joined Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored this week to discuss his detention by ICE agents in Louisiana on Thursday. Yiannopoulos has since been deported back to the United Kingdom.

The right-wing provocateur told Morgan:

To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016 could, sort of, over the course of 10 years, collapse into this ugly, warmongering, whole mentally ill heap of crazy – with some of the most unstable and lunatic people, seemingly directing the President’s actions! If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would never have got involved in supporting Trump in the first place and I’m very ashamed that I did.

Yiannopoulos admitted to cheering on ICE actions in the past, but he argued they should be focused on violent criminals and drug dealers. (Read more from “Milo Yiannopoulos Tells Piers Morgan He’s ‘Very Ashamed’ of Supporting Trump Following ICE Arrest” HERE)

First ‘Space Elevator’ — a 66,000-Mile Cable to the Cosmos— Closer than Ever Before as Scientists Make Breakthrough

/0 Comments/in , /by

On a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston last week, President Trump promised American astronauts would establish a permanent presence on the Moon before pushing forward to Mars.

“Our nation will conquer … this vast frontier that we have before us … We will explore it, we will tame it, and we will win it,” he said of America’s present “golden age” of space exploration.

But researchers thinking of truly big ideas say we’ll never get there with today’s inefficient chemical rocket technology. And they point to an important breakthrough.

“We’re really pushing for permanent infrastructure, like a bridge replacing ferries to cross a river,” Pete Swan, president of the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC), a nonprofit research and advocacy hub, told The Post.

It’s a simple yet mind-bending concept: an ultra-strong electrified cable running from a point on the ground at Earth’s equator, extended out beyond geostationary orbit (GEO), where a counterweight will float in space keeping it taut. Vessels then climb the cable to deliver goods, people and machines, passing through the atmosphere and into space.

“The beauty is that raising it with electricity saves our atmosphere from pollution, it doesn’t leave any debris along the way and it will be routine, daily, inexpensive, safe. It’s gonna be a bridge to space.” (Read more from “First ‘Space Elevator’ — a 66,000-Mile Cable to the Cosmos— Closer than Ever Before as Scientists Make Breakthrough” HERE)

Trump announced the deals with Alcon, Astellas Pharma, BeOne Medicines, BridgeBio, CSL, Kyowa Kirin, Sun Pharma, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and UCB on Monday in the Oval Office while flanked by pharmaceutical executives.

“Nine new pharmaceutical companies are committing to deliver their lowest drug prices for American patients,” he added.

The agreements ensure that every state Medicaid program will have access to MFN drug prices for all nine companies’ products, which the White House projects will save Americans across the country billions of dollars.

Donald Trump Threatens to Withdraw Falklands Support as US Issues Andy Burnham Defense Ultimatum

/2 Comments/in , /by

The United States has threatened not to support the UK’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands if Andy Burnham does not commit to an increase in defence spending.

Senior defence officials in the Pentagon are drawing up plans to apply pressure on Nato members that still fail to reach the alliance’s five per cent spending pledge.

A senior US official told The Telegraph that Britain will be examined with “special attention” as Washington assesses its allies’ capability and commitment to increase defence spending.

Describing Sir Keir Starmer’s Defence Investment Plan (Dip) as not enough of a “step in the right direction”, Washington officials’ belief in Britain being a key military partner to the US is wavering.

“I would expect the UK to receive special attention because it has so much potential,” they said. (Read more from “Donald Trump Threatens to Withdraw Falklands Support as US Issues Andy Burnham Defense Ultimatum” HERE)

President Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to rename Lake Ontario as his trade war with Canada continues.

The president lambasted Canadian officials after they rejected a trade deal and responded with reciprocal tariffs to Trump’s newest tariffs.

The president signed an executive order changing the lake’s name to “Lake America” on Thursday.

“We’re going to be changing the name of Lake Ontario effective immediately to Lake America,” he said to reporters.

“We filed all of the necessary papers, documents, [and] everything else. We’ve notified all of the various people you have to notify,” he added.

Trump Releases His Ranking Of U.S. Presidents … And You’ll Never Guess Who’s At The Top

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump released his ranking of United States presidents on Thursday, with himself at the top of the list.

The president posted the graphic to Truth Social, referring to a CNN news segment reporting that a majority of Republicans admire Trump over leaders such as Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln. According to the poll, 53% of Republicans said they admire Trump most while 18% chose Reagan and just 8% favor Lincoln.

Trump place himself in a tier of his own labeled “The Greatest.”

Founding fathers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were ranked below Trump as “Great,” along with Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Andrew Jackson.

Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, John Adams and James K. Polk were all labeled “Near Great.”

One X user indicated that the image shared by Trump closely resembles a 1948 ranking of United States presidents according to 55 scholars posted in Life Magazine. If so, it would explain the absence of the majority of presidents from the second half of the 20th century, including Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and both Bushes.

A US airman who was arrested twice, once on the steps of the US Capitol while calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, was officially criminally charged Monday for his comments, according to a charging document his attorney shared with CNN.

Maj. Jason Watson faces the following charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to the document: three violations of Article 88 for alleged “contemptuous” remarks about Trump, five violations of Article 92 for allegedly disobeying orders and two violations of Article 133 for alleged conduct unbecoming an officer. . .

“Maj. Watson will continue to be held in pre-trial confinement,” [an Air Force spokesperson confirmed]. “Airmen are afforded the right to due process, and considered innocent until proven guilty, in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”

The rare Article 88 charges are connected to the Air Force officer’s June interview with the Defenders of our Republic Substack newsletter, his July 1 protest in uniform at the US Capitol, and an August 17 CNN interview. . .
