Trump Vows to End Ukraine War if Elected

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday at a CNN town hall-style event in New Hampshire that the European Union needs to start paying “a lot more money” to subsidize the war in Ukraine, which he vowed to have “settled in one day” if elected.

A student from Saint Anselm’s College asked the 45th president if he supports the Biden administration’s posture to continue sending military equipment to Ukraine.

Trump responded:

Here’s the thing — have to say it to start off, no longer matters — if I were president, this would have never happened, and even the Democrats admit that. Putin knew it would have never happened, and his pipeline would have never happened. A lot of things would never have happened … and all those dead people, both Russian and Ukrainian, they wouldn’t be dead today. And all those cities that are blown up and disintegrated right to the ground, that wouldn’t have happened.

Now, here’s the problem, we’ve given so far $171 billion. They’ve given — they meaning [the] European Union, which is approximately the same size altogether as our economy — they’ve given about $20 [billion]. So we’re at $170 and they’re at $20, you don’t have to know too much about history … or geography to realize they’re a little bit more affected than we are … so they’ve got to put up a lot more money because they’re taking advantage of us just like every other country did.

Trump Says E. Jean Carroll’s Story Is ‘Fake,’ Accuses Case of Attempting ‘Election Interference’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump responded to being found liable for sexual battery and defamation against former Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll by a civil trial jury during a CNN Republican presidential town hall Wednesday.

Carroll accused Trump of raping her inside a dressing room at Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman department store in 1995 or 1996. The jury found him liable of battery and defamation, but not of rape, and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.

Trump alleged Carroll and the jury of interfering in the 2024 presidential election through this case.

“My poll numbers just came out, they went up,” Trump said. “I think I’m the only person in history to have had a charge like that and usually, you leave office, you say, ‘I’m sorry, but I’m going back home. I’m back home to my family, and everything, I’m resigning.’ My poll numbers went up and they went up with the other fake charge too. Because what’s happening is they’re doing this for election interference.” (Read more from “Trump Says E. Jean Carroll’s Story Is ‘Fake,’ Accuses Case of Attempting ‘Election Interference’” HERE)

Eric Swalwell Gets Hilariously Roasted After Being Fact Checked By Twitter

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) fell into another trap of mockery after making false accusations about former President Trump.

Fact-checkers quickly pointed out the noticeable mistake Swalwell made when trying to bash Trump and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif).

The Democrat claimed that Trump had been “convicted of sexual assault” and that McCarthy was “all in with his sexually abusive pal.”

However, Trump was acquitted of sexual assault. Instead, a jury found him liable but not found guilty.

Thanks to Twitter’s official fact-checking rules, Swalwell’s tweet was flagged by the social media platform explaining that the Democrat’s accusation was “factually inaccurate. Conviction is the authority of criminal courts only. Civil litigation only deals with liability. Trump was found liable. No determination of guilt was made by the jury.”

Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Signer Says Active CIA Employee Pushed Him to Sign It

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the signers of the Hunter Biden laptop letter says he and his wife only signed on to the baseless October 2020 claims of Russian involvement after a CIA employee who was active with the agency asked him to sign the document.

David Cariens, a former intelligence analyst for the CIA, told congressional investigators earlier this year that he and his wife Janice Cariens, a former operations support officer for the CIA, signed the letter with other former intelligence officials after a member of the CIA’s Prepublication Classification Review Board, or PCRB, called him and asked him to. The letter aimed at discrediting New York Post stories about the contents of Biden’s laptop came at a critical point before Joe Biden debated Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.

Trump-DeSantis Unity Ticket Scores With Voters, Heightens GOP Chances to Beat Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Perhaps former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be better off teaming up than fighting each other for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

A Trump-DeSantis unity ticket would handily defeat President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to a new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and Political Media Inc.

The survey found 51% of likely voters would pull the lever for Trump-DeSantis compared to 43% for Biden-Harris.

“Trump/DeSantis wins with women, independents, Hispanics and college grads and does historically well with African Americans,” said Larry Ward, President of Political Media Inc. He said that the unity ticket would also win the national popular vote, which would be a first for Republicans in 20 years.

Mr. Ward heads up the Constitutional Rights PAC which also runs “wewantdonron.com,” a website, whose goal is to promote the re-election of Mr. Trump with Mr. DeSantis as his running mate. (Read more from “Trump-DeSantis Unity Ticket Scores With Voters, Heightens GOP Chances to Beat Biden” HERE)

ABC/Wapo Poll: Trump Opens up 7-Point Lead Over Biden in 2024 Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, a Republican, has opened up a clear lead over President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the 2024 race for the White House, a Washington Post and ABC News poll shows.

The poll shows 49 percent of respondents said they would definitely or probably vote for Trump against Biden, or that they lean towards voting for Trump, whereas Biden in such a scenario only nets 42 percent.

That means Trump leads Biden by seven percent, well outside the survey’s margin of error.

In total, if Trump is the GOP nominee in 2024, the cross tabs for the poll show 36 percent say they would definitely vote for him against Biden, another nine percent say they would probably vote for Trump in that scenario, and another five percent are leaning toward voting for Trump.

In said scenario, Biden only has 32 percent who say they will definitely vote for him, just six percent who said they probably would, and another four percent who said they lean toward voting for Biden. (Read more from “ABC/Wapo Poll: Trump Opens up 7-Point Lead Over Biden in 2024 Race” HERE)

‘Damning’ Emails Show Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Was ‘Dirty Campaign Trick’ to Hurt Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans condemned new information exposed by the Washington Examiner that ex-intelligence leaders sought to give then-candidate Joe Biden a “talking point” in his critical 2020 debate with Donald Trump when they signed onto a letter discrediting stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

On Thursday, the Washington Examiner revealed that Mike Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, sent a recruitment email, along with a draft of the letter, to intelligence officials days ahead of the second presidential debate between Biden and Trump. In the letter, Morell admitted that one purpose of the letter, which was published Oct. 19, 2020, was to give Biden an opportunity to rebut Trump should a discussion about the “laptop from hell” come up.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who is leading an investigation into the Biden family’s finances and this week subpoenaed FBI Director Christopher Wray for records describing an alleged “criminal scheme,” called the Washington Examiner’s revelations “outrageous.”

“It’s outrageous that former intelligence officials deliberately chose to spread disinformation to help Joe Biden’s presidential bid,” Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, told the Washington Examiner. “The signers of the 2020 letter severely tarnished the intelligence community’s reputation and it was a steep price to pay to help Joe Biden. House Republicans will continue working to expose this dirty campaign trick and ensure accountability for the American people.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), who along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has conducted a yearslong investigation into Hunter Biden’s lucrative business dealings and accused Secretary of State Antony Blinken of providing false testimony on his email contact with Hunter Biden, was also outraged by the Washington Examiner’s findings about the motivation behind the letter.

Report: Tucker Carlson Speaking with Donald Trump About Moderating Republican Candidate Forum

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson, the recently ousted popular Fox News anchor, has shown interest in moderating Republican candidate forums and has reportedly discussed the possibility with former President Donald Trump.

The former president and Republican primary frontrunner recently floated the idea of skipping the forums moderated by Fox News after the “hostile” network failed to seek his advice on the issue. According to the Washington Post, Carlson has spoken with Trump about displacing Fox News as the hosting moderator to “take a jab at his former employer”:

Carlson and his team have discussed the possibility of moderating a candidate forum outside of the traditional protocols surrounding the GOP primary debate system, according to two people familiar with the considerations. These people said the setup — as well as Carlson’s availability to take on that kind of role, given the noncompete constraints of his contract with Fox — remain unclear. But Carlson has personally expressed enthusiasm about the idea, according to people familiar with his comments. At least one major candidate — Trump — has told Carlson he’s interested, according to a person familiar with the exchange.

The former Fox host’s interest in a debate is said to stem in part from its potential to loosen the Republican National Committee’s grip on the process, as well as to challenge the role traditionally played by the major television networks. “He could go straight to the candidates, stream it live, invite the networks but maintain control over the process,” said one person familiar with the discussions.

Trump Calls E. Jean Carroll Rape Claim ‘Ridiculous, Disgusting Story’ in Taped Deposition Played in Court

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump called E. Jean Carroll’s rape allegation against him the “most ridiculous, disgusting story” when questioned by her lawyers, according to a tape of his deposition played in Manhattan federal court Wednesday.

Trump — who will not be attending any of the trial — said during the Oct. 19, 2022 deposition that if the rape did happen “it would have been reported in minutes.”

“It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” Trump said to Carroll’s lawyer during the questioning.

“It’s just made up.”

Carroll’s attorneys began playing clips of the deposition in the ongoing trial over the former journalist’s suit accusing Trump, 76, of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room, most likely in 1996.
