Democrats Fake Trump-Zelensky Phone Call, Again, in First Impeachment Hearing

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) repeated a fake version of the infamous 2019 Trump-Zelensky phone call in the first impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden at the House Oversight and Accountability Committee Thursday.

Raskin, the ranking minority member of the committee, claimed in his opening statement that the entire inquiry was a recapitulation of claims of corruption made by Republicans in 2019, of which he said there was no evidence.

In the process, Raskin claimed that Trump associates traveled to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, which he said “culminated in the infamous phone call that then-President [Donald] Trump made to Ukrainian President [Volodymyr] Zelensky, in which Trump threatened to withhold hundreds of billions of dollars in economic, strategic, and military security assistance to Ukraine unless Zelensky embraced their ridiculous fabrication and falsely advertised to the world that Ukraine was investigating Joe Biden.”

Raskin’s version of events repeats a fake version of the phone call, which Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) performed when he conducted his 2019 impeachment inquiry into Trump, and which formed the basis for Democrats’ subsequent arguments for impeaching and removing Trump.

But the transcript of the call, declassified and released by Trump, did not include any threats to withhold aid at all. Nor did it include any “quid pro quo” in which the president made aid conditional on any investigation of Biden.

Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump dismissed former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s new nickname for him that attacked the former president for his absence from the second GOP presidential primary debate.

Christie called Trump “Donald Duck” on Wednesday night, criticizing him for skipping the event in favor of attending an event in Michigan for the United Auto Workers strike. . .

Unimpressed with the nickname, Trump fired back at Christie in an interview with Fox News Digital Wednesday night.

“Anybody that would come up with that nickname shouldn’t be running for president,” Trump said.

Trump defended his decision to skip the debate, saying that due to his sizable lead over the field, it was “much more important” for him to deal “with the UAW and the fact that the Biden administration is going to destroy their jobs over the next two years by going all electric vehicle.” (Read more from “Trump Hits Back at Chris Christie for ‘Donald Duck’ Nickname” HERE)

New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered a bombshell ruling [this week] that the former president committed fraud by inflating the value of his wealth, with details including the monetary value associated with Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. . .

However, the ruling raised eyebrows when Engoron, a Democrat who ran unopposed in the general election on Nov. 3, 2015, evaluated the worth of Trump’s prized Mar-a-Lago Club resort at $18 million, ruling that the property was inflated by 2,500%. . .

One prominent Palm Beach real estate broker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Post, “It’s utterly delusional to think that property is only worth $18 million . . . If that property were on the market today, I would list it at around $300 million, minimum, at least. He also has the separate golf course minutes away” . . .

To put it in perspective, a 2-acre wooded lot at 1980 S. Ocean Blvd., just 5 minutes from Mar-a-Lago, is currently listed for $150 million. Mar-a-Lago, situated at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., dwarfs this lot tenfold and operates as a commercial business with around 500 members as part of the golf club.

Also nearby: a 2.3-acre plot of land at 1063/1071 N. Ocean Blvd., on the market for a sky-high $200 million. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate boasts 20 acres. (Read more from “New York Judge’s Anti-Trump Fraud Ruling “Delusional”” HERE)

Leftist Judge Won’t Recuse Herself From Trump J6 Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

United States District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on Wednesday refused to recuse herself from overseeing the federal case former against President Donald Trump over his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump’s attorneys earlier this month filed a motion for Chutkan to recuse herself based on comments she has made at sentencing hearings for multiple January 6 defendants.

For example, Chutkan described the Capitol riot as “an attempt to violently overthrow the government, the legally, lawfully, peacefully elected government by individuals who were mad that their guy lost” during Christine Priola’s October 2022 sentencing.

Chutkan claimed those inside the Capitol did so out of “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”

“The public meaning of this statement is inescapable — President Trump is free, but should not be,” Trump’s attorneys argued in their recusal motion. “As an apparent prejudgment of guilt, these comments are disqualifying standing alone.”

Christie Goes After Trump: If You Keep Skipping Debates, ‘We’re Gonna Call You Donald Duck’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie criticized former President Donald Trump during the second Republican Party primary debate on Wednesday night.

Christie made the remarks at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

“And I want to look at camera right now tell you, Donald, I know you’re watching,” Christie said. “You can’t help yourself. I know you’re watching, okay? And you’re not here tonight — not because of polls and not because of your indictments — you’re not here tonight because you’re afraid of being on the stage and defending your record.”

“You’re ducking these things,” he continued. “And let me tell you what’s going to happen. You keep doing that, no one up here is gonna call you Donald Trump anymore. We’re gonna call you Donald Duck.”

Experts’ Republican Debate Verdict: Trump ‘Still in Driver’s Seat’ After Simi Valley ‘Circus’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Another Republican debate without 2024 frontrunner and former President Donald Trump meant another debate with candidates fighting for second place, The Post’s experts agreed Wednesday.

“They all have trouble because of Trump,” said former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato. “Trump was smart by not going. The debate was a circus. Nobody really scored on him.”

“Without Trump there, it’s really like the seven dwarfs are missing their hero,” agreed Democratic consultant Chris Coffey. “No clear win is a win for Trump, which may be a win for Biden.”

“No impact on President Trump’s nomination,” concurred E. O’Brien Murray, a campaign strategist for Republicans and conservative Democrats. “Too many GOP candidates divide the vote.”

While the dynamic of the race may not have been fundamentally altered, our experts took note of the attacks on Trump as “missing in action” by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. (Read more from “Experts’ Republican Debate Verdict: Trump ‘Still in Driver’s Seat’ After Simi Valley ‘Circus’ HERE)

WATCH: Trump Loudly Booed by Supporters After Introducing His ‘Friend’ Lindsey Graham

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Mediaite. Former President Donald Trump defended the honor of his “friend,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), at a rally in Graham’s home state on Monday by touting the senator’s popularity with Democrats.

“Another man who’s always there, he’s always — I’ll tell you what. When I need help on the left, he’s great. He’s great, and he’s my friend, too. Lindsey Graham, wherever you are. Lindsey?” began Trump to a cacophony of boos at a campaign rally in Summerville, South Carolina.

“Oh no, no!” shouted Trump back at the crowd. “He helps me on the left. We need help sometimes. Republicans shouldn’t need help on the left, but he helps me.”

Graham has long been reviled by the base of the Republican Party for some of his moderate positions, most notably on immigration. The longtime legislator ran a longshot bid for the presidency in 2016 and made headlines with his unsparing critiques of Trump at the time, calling him a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.”

“You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell,” remarked Graham in 2015. (Read more from “WATCH: Trump Loudly Booed by Supporters After Introducing His ‘Friend’ Lindsey Graham” HERE)

Trump Calms Rally Crowd After Graham Mention Gets Boos

By The Hill. Former President Trump defended ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday after Trump’s shoutout to the South Carolina Republican during his rally in the state prompted boos from the crowd. . .

It’s not the first time Graham’s name has prompted boos from a Trump crowd. During a Trump rally in Pickens, S.C., in July, the senator was called a “traitor” and received boos from attendees. In April, a New Hampshire crowd booed the mention of Graham’s name during a Trump event in which the former president referred to the South Carolina Republican as “progressive.”

Graham has at times worked with Democrats in the Senate, including helping the Biden administration advance judicial nominees, drawing ire from other conservatives. (Read more from “Trump Calms Rally Crowd After Graham Mention Gets Boos” HERE)

Ongoing Feud: Howard Stern Hits Back at Donald Trump Over ‘Woke’ Flap

/0 Comments/in , /by

Howard Stern said former President Donald Trump “got charged up” by seeing him “discussed on all his conservative media” after the shock jock declared last week that he was proud to be “woke.”

“My thought was — What?” Stern said on his SiriusXM show Monday in response to Trump’s social media post denouncing his former friend as a “broken weirdo.”

“Imagine you got to be the 45th president of the United States and you’re sitting and writing about Howard Stern,” the radio host said Monday.

Stern’s comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.

“You know, all of a sudden Trump saw me being discussed on all his conservative media things and he got charged up,” according to Stern, who took issue with Trump calling him “disloyal.” (Read more from “Ongoing Feud: Howard Stern Hits Back at Donald Trump Over ‘Woke’ Flap” HERE)

‘Demolish the Deep State’: Trump Says It’s Him or the End of America in 2024

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump declared 2024 the “final battle” against an array of forces ailing the United States.

Doubling down on a previous pronouncement, Trump raised the rhetorical stakes to the highest degree possible, going so far as to declare that a defeat in 2024 would mean the end of the country. The 2024 presidential election will be nothing less than the “final battle” for the U.S., Trump told his audience at a campaign event in Iowa.

The former president declared that 2024 “is our final battle. With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state. We will expel the warmongers from our government. They want to go to war with everybody. We will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the communist Marxists and fascists, and we will throw off the sick political class that truly hates our country. We will route the fake news media. We will defeat crooked Joe Biden, and we will end illegal immigration once and for all, just as we had it three years ago.”

“The great silent majority is rising like never before,” he continued. “And under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer with your help, your love, and your vote. We will put America first, and we will make America great again, greater than ever before.” (Read more from “‘Demolish the Deep State’: Trump Says It’s Him or the End of America in 2024” HERE)

Trump’s Eligibility for 2024 Ballot Headed to U.S. Supreme Court?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court could have the final word on the validity of 14th Amendment arguments for removing Trump from the 2024 ballot, legal experts on both sides of the debate told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Since the left-leaning group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed its lawsuit seeking to remove Trump from the ballot in Colorado on Sept. 6, cases have been filed in Minnesota, Oklahoma and New Mexico, among other states. With these and other efforts underway, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Supreme Court will likely have to settle whether Trump should be removed from the ballot under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which bars certain government officials who took an oath to the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.

“If a Secretary of State disqualifies Trump from the ballot, then Trump and his campaign will have standing to sue and if the lower courts rule against Trump, then the case will most certainly end up in the Supreme Court on an appeal,” Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Hans von Spakovsky told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “For a number of constitutional and procedural reasons, the Court is almost certain to rule in Trump’s favor.”

In Maryland, Secretary of State Susan Lee expressed that she would consider removing Trump’s name from the ballot, according to The Daily Record. The Office of the Secretary of State is responsible for determining which names appear on the presidential ballot in Maryland.
