Behind the Scenes with Trump in East Palestine: ‘You Are Not Forgotten’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump delivered a positive and hopeful message to residents of the small Ohio town grappling with the aftermath of a train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals into the environment. “You are not forgotten,” he told the East Palestine community on Wednesday.

Breitbart News accompanied Trump on his trip to East Palestine, where the 45th president delivered truckloads of pallets of bottled water to the town’s residents, who are worried about the water quality in the area as a result of the recent train disaster.

It was a cold, rainy Wednesday afternoon in Northeast Ohio, but that didn’t stop President Trump from visiting East Palestine. . .

East Palestine City Park reverberated with chants of “Trump 24!” and “We love Trump!” while the former president visited a creek, where he spoke with Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH), and East Palestine mayor Trent R. Conaway.

President Trump also took time to greet a crowd of supporters, who could be heard exclaiming, “I love you!” and “Thank you for coming, Mr. Trump!” (Read more from “Behind the Scenes with Trump in East Palestine: ‘You Are Not Forgotten’” HERE)

Grand Jury Forewoman in Trump Case Goes on Bizarre Media Tour, Panicking Left

/0 Comments/in , /by

The forewoman of the Georgia grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump has appeared repeatedly on television, laughing about the investigation and apparently hinting at what the jury has decided before any indictments have been handed down, a move progressives fear could derail any possible criminal case against Trump.

Emily Kohrs revealed her identity on Tuesday and has done interviews with The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, MSNBC and CNN about her experience on the jury, which met between May and January to discuss Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 election.

Kohrs — the only juror to come forward — told the Journal-Constitution that she felt “amazement at the media attention she had received over the last several hours.”

Kohrs laughed when CNN asked her how many people the jury recommended for indictment.

“I’m hesitant to speak to something that the judge made a decision not to share … The sections [of the grand jury report] that were removed were consciously chosen to be removed, and I don’t want to say ‘I have better judgment than the judge,’” Kohrs said while smiling and rolling her eyes.

Trump Will Visit Ohio Town Impacted by Train Crash

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is slated to visit East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday as the small rust belt town is grappled by a train derailment and subsequent chemical fallout.

Local and state authorities previously evacuated all residents within one mile of the February 3 derailment and started a controlled burn of industrial chemicals on the vehicle to decrease the risk of an explosion, which could have sent shrapnel throughout the small town. Vinyl chloride, a known human carcinogen used to manufacture PVC, was emitted from five train cars in the form of massive plumes of dark smoke, prompting concerns about air and water quality for the millions of people who live in the Ohio River Basin.

As Trump continues his third bid for the White House, he is expected to draw attention to President Joe Biden’s relative silence on the disaster and the minimal attention publicly paid to the crisis by senior administration officials. The highest-ranking Biden staffer to visit East Palestine has so far been EPA Administrator Michael Regan, who canceled a climate change mission to Africa he was scheduled to lead alongside celebrity couple Idris and Sabrina Elba as his agency addresses the fallout, which has produced worrisome health concerns for humans and livestock.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the former Democratic presidential contender whose tenure at the agency has been marked by a number of infrastructure issues, has yet to visit the small town and did not publicly address the crisis for more than a week after it occurred. He nevertheless appeared at the National Association of Counties Conference to comment on matters such as racial equity in the construction sector. On Monday, Buttigieg said he would visit East Palestine “when the time is right.”

Biden himself made an appearance in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Monday as his administration supplies the war-torn nation with more than $113 billion amid the invasion from Russia. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, also known as FEMA, meanwhile granted a request for aid to East Palestine only after Trump revealed his plans to visit the small town of 4,700 residents, a note that the former commander-in-chief sounded on social media.

Pathetic! Papa Pete Blames Trump for East Palestine Disaster

/0 Comments/in , /by

CLAIM: U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg is blaming former President Donald Trump for the train disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, claiming, “we’re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation,” and citing a “braking rule” that was withdrawn under the Trump administration.

VERDICT: False.

While it is true that in 2018 the Department of Transportation (DOT) withdrew a proposed rule requiring trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to use electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, this rule would not have applied to the train that derailed in East Palestine on February 3.

In addressing the train derailment on Tuesday, Buttigieg claimed, “We’re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation,” and cited “the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015.” (Read more from “Pathetic!

Poll: Donald Trump Holds Lead Over Crowded GOP Primary Field

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump leads a potentially crowded Republican primary field by six points, according to a national poll.

The Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows that a 42 percent plurality of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters back Trump in a field that featured many candidates. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) remains Trump’s closest potential competitor, receiving 36 percent of the response, followed by former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), who launched her candidacy for president on Wednesday, at five percent.

Four percent of the 592 Republicans and leaners included in the sample support former Vice President Mike Pence, and another four percent back former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) both garner two percent of support, while one percent would vote for Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is reportedly “taking steps to run for president.”

In a field of just Trump, DeSantis, Haley, and Pence, the 45th president registers at 43 percent of support while DeSantis climbs to 41 percent. Haley takes six percent of the share, four percent back Pence, and five percent remain undecided. (Read more from “Poll: Donald Trump Holds Lead Over Crowded GOP Primary Field” HERE)

Disinformation ‘Expert’: Cannot Deprogram People Who Put ‘MAGA on Their Headstones’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Daniel Rogers, the cofounder and executive director of the Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a group funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, claimed supporters of former President Donald Trump cannot be deprogrammed from alleged disinformation.

Rogers, speaking of groups that spread counter-messaging to disinformation, claimed in a February 2022 presentation to Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy, that:

Obviously, there’s the category of people who are going to put hashtag ‘MAGA’ on their headstones, and we’re not ever going to reach them but there’s a whole category of people kind of in the middle coming to the fact that these attention driven news feeds naturally serve as more adversarial and angry content and having to fight back with buying up that space to counteract that tailwind and the opposition. [Emphasis added]

Rogers admitted GDI is a “data-driven advocacy organization” [emphasis added] despite its pledges of neutrality and independence.

He also bashed Breitbart News’ news coverage of immigrant crime as “anti-immigrant violence.” To Rogers, accurate news coverage is “violence.”

How to Help Two Constitutional Conservatives Fighting the Deep State: Attorneys Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A fundraiser at the crowdsource platform GiveSendGo has been launched for conservative super lawyers Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing.

The goal is to raise $500,000 to cover legal fees and costs this popular husband and wife team have spent (so far) fighting the corrupt Joe Biden/Merrick Garland Deep State.

Please go here to donate, and then post their GiveSendGo fundraiser on your social media sites.

They also need funds to pursue federal legal actions against multiple lawbreaking government officials and corrupt Leftwing private parties such as The 65 Project, a ”uniquely sinister element [seeking] to ruin the lives of conservative lawyers.”

Joe and Victoria are law partners at the firm they founded, and are widely known for their insightful, no-holds-barred TV-radio-written commentary against corruption and lawbreaking in government and the private sector.

During the Reagan presidency Joe was U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, and Victoria was Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice Criminal Division. She’s also known for representing high-profile whistleblowers, and once served as Committee Chief Counsel for Senator Barry Goldwater. Joe served as Independent Counsel in the 1992 Clinton Passport File Search matter, and has served as a Special Counsel.

Joe and Victoria are now part of a group of constitutional conservative, Trump-friendly lawyers whose communications with state election officials were subpoenaed by Garland-appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating challenges by former President Donald Trump and his allies to the 2020 Election process.*

But Joe and Victoria have already spent over $500,000 in legal fees and costs as targets of DOJ and FBI weaponization against constitutional conservative lawyers.

It began with the DOJ covertly accessing Victoria’s Apple and iCloud information in 2019 — which included attorney-client privileged information unrelated to the investigation at hand — without her having an opportunity to challenge this baseless, scurrilous, overly broad search and seizure.

Then in 2021 the DOJ got openly hostile. As Victoria wrote in November 2022 at Newsmax:

At dawn on April 28, 2021, four FBI agents rang my Chevy Chase, Maryland, doorbell armed with a search warrant from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) seeking evidence of a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) violation during the year 2019. Not coincidentally, in 2019, I was talking to a Ukrainian whistleblower, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, for legal representation to bring evidence to the DOJ of Biden family corruption in that country.

(Click here for full article.)

This FBI raid of their home was another egregious violation of the constitutional rights of Victoria, her firm, and her clients. The FBI seized her cellphone and iPad containing personal and attorney-client privileged information, far exceeding what a legitimate investigation would seek.

The warrant was obtained in violation of DOJ guidelines, using the intrusive and intimidating method of an FBI raid that resulted in violations of attorney-client privilege unrelated to the DOJ investigation.

As Victoria explains in her Newsmax article, Rudy Giuliani asked if she would represent Ukrainian whistleblower, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko, and Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Hunter Biden’s employer, Burisma.

Rudy was going to represent them but thought he had a conflict of interest since he was one of President Trump’s lawyers at that time.

Victoria never signed the whistleblowers as clients, and never represented them. As she further wrote:

I was not a target of the FARA investigation. I had no client who would have required FARA registration in 2019. So, the warrant was for evidence of another person’s crime. Thus, DOJ violated its rules for obtaining evidence from a lawyer, which expect prosecutors to use the “least intrusive approach” possible. That would be a subpoena.

Victoria needed to litigate and get a special master to review the seized materials, and attempt to protect the privileged material of her actual clients.** That the DOJ fought her and her firm nearly every step of the way, knowing Victoria was not representing the two whistleblowers, is a further abuse of the investigation process.

Plus, as with other Trump-friendly conservatives who have been raided by the FBI, the raid was improperly leaked to the press.

Finally in November 2022, after Victoria and Joe spent hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting to protect their rights, the DOJ closed the matter telling the court no charges would be filed, and a special master would no longer be needed.

But the damage was already done, as her article concludes:

After being served with an illegal warrant for documents I never possessed, and after spending over a half million dollars to defend myself and my clients’ privileged information, I am woefully aware that the SDNY achieved its goal for me. As one FBI whistleblower agent told Congress, the “process is the punishment.”

Joe and Victoria are what we call “warrior lawyers.” They are fighters for liberty and the rule of law, and are contemplating bringing Bivens lawsuits against the government officials who operated under color of federal law to violate their constitutional rights.

They also may be suing private actors such as The 65 Project, which has targeted Joe among other Trump-friendly lawyers for frivolous bar complaints and ads expressly designed to harm the livelihoods of its victims.

The discovery alone in those lawsuits could expose a pattern of heinous lawbreaking and corruption by the federal government.

What has happened to Joe and Victoria is Deep State revenge and intimidation, not legitimate law enforcement. The DOJ is using its power and processes to punish them for being outspoken — and right. It is un-American.

You can help by donating here.

The Deep Sate and corporate media disdained Joe and Victoria going back to 2018 for publicly defending Donald Trump and correctly criticizing the FBI over the false Russiagate smears and unprecedented unlawful interference with a presidential election. The New York Times led the charge:

Mr. diGenova has endorsed the notion that a secretive group of F.B.I. agents concocted the Russia investigation as a way to keep Mr. Trump from becoming president. “There was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate Hillary Clinton and, if she didn’t win the election, to then frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime,” he said on Fox News in January. He added, “Make no mistake about it: A group of F.B.I. and D.O.J. people were trying to frame Donald Trump of a falsely created crime.”

As it turns out, of course, Joe was right about the Russiagate hoax.***

What you can do

Please donate what you can at this GiveSendGo account, which was created by friends, and with the permission, of Joe and Victoria.

Also, please use your social media accounts, blogs, and other means of communication to let others know of the need to assist Joe and Victoria.

All funds go to them for their legal defense fund.

This GiveSendGo page will be updated by them from time to time with news about their legal fight against the corrupt Biden/Garland Deep State.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 to cover the legal fees and costs they’ve already incurred for standing up for honesty and the rule of law.

Let’s send a message to the corrupt Joe Biden/Merrick Garland Deep State that Americans will back champions of protecting our liberties and the rule of law, like Joe and Victoria.

Following the launch of this GiveSendGo fundraiser, there will be a link for you to get email updates directly from them. Please check back here for more information.

Biden Makes Eyebrow-Raising Admission About Documents Seized From His Home — Then Blames Staffers (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden admitted Wednesday that at least one document seized by federal investigators from his private residence in Wilmington, Delaware, is nearly 50 years old.

At the end of an interview with Biden, PBS anchor Judy Woodruff asked the president why his condemnation of former President Donald Trump for retaining classified documents — Biden called it “totally irresponsible” — does not also apply to him.

“What I was talking about was what was laid out,” Biden said, referring to the infamous picture the Justice Department included in court documents showing classified documents on the floor of Mar-a-Lago.

But ignoring the fact that some of the documents found at his former Washington office reportedly contained highly classified intelligence markings, Biden then tried to defend himself by noting that he “voluntarily” allowed federal agents to search his home.

“In the best of my knowledge, the kinds of things they picked up were things that from 1974 and stray papers,” Biden admitted. “There may be something else, I don’t know.”

Number of Independents Who Say They Are Worse off Under Biden More Than Triples

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Trump would beat President Joe Biden by three points in the popular vote in a 2024 rematch if the election were held today, ABC News reported Sunday on Langer Research Associates’ polling.

“If [Donald Trump and President Biden] were the choices and the election were today, the poll suggests [48% of registered voters would choose Trump and 45% would choose Biden.]”

ABC News describes the difference as “small” and notes the figures are within the poll’s margin of error.

Presidents, of course, are not elected directly by popular vote. Rather, presidents and vice presidents are chosen by electors in a process called the Electoral College.

“Four in 10 Americans say they’ve gotten worse off financially since Joe Biden became president,” LRA’s results indicate. (Read more from “Number of Independents Who Say They Are Worse off Under Biden More Than Triples” HERE)

Poll: Trump Takes Lead Over Biden on Eve of State of the Union Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, a Republican, has taken a lead over current President Joe Biden, a Democrat, on the eve of the latter’s planned State of the Union address this week in Congress, a poll shows.

Trump, at 48 percent, leads Biden’s 45 percent by 3 percent. One percent said they would vote for someone else, 3 percent said they would not vote for either Trump or Biden, 2 percent said they would not vote, and 1 percent had no opinion.

The survey, from the Washington Post and ABC News, represents a five-point swing Trump’s way from the pollster’s last such survey nationally back in September, which had Biden leading Trump 48 percent to 46 percent.

The survey polled 1,003 American adults from January 27 to February 1, and has a margin of error of 3.5 percent.

This means that the poll was entirely completed before the public found out about a Chinese Communist Party suspected surveillance balloon—the story broke last Thursday evening, and this poll was completed on Wednesday—hovering over the continental United States. The balloon story captivated the national attention, and Republicans have leveled severe criticisms at Biden. Trump himself has said he would have shot the balloon down much earlier than Biden did. The current president allowed the balloon to traverse the entire United States before finally shooting it down when it moved over the Atlantic Ocean.
