Trump Was Right on TikTok, Says Top Democrat Senator

One of the Democratic Party’s leading figures, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who is head of the United States Senate intelligence committee, has said former President Donald Trump was right when it came to the security risks around the Chinese-owned TikTok.

“This is not something you would normally hear me say, but Donald Trump was right on TikTok years ago,” said Warner during a visit to Australia, reported The Sydney Moring Herald on Oct. 25.

“If your country uses Huawei, if your kids are on TikTok, if your population uses WeChat as a social media platform, the ability for China to have undue influence is, I think, a much greater challenge and a much more immediate threat than any kind of actual, armed conflict.”

Warner, who is currently in Australia to engage with local intelligence chiefs, politicians, and business people, also warned about the technological domination that the Chinese regime is exerting over other countries, calling it scary.

“China having this kind of technology domination in a number of countries ought to scare the heck out of us because we’ve seen the kind of Orwellian surveillance state they’ve already created within China,” he said. (Read more from “Trump Was Right on TikTok, Says Top Democrat Senator” HERE)

‘Big Mistake!’: Trump Drops Truth Bomb After DeSantis Endorses GOP Candidate He Disavowed

Former President Donald Trump fired off a foreboding Truth on Sunday night, reacting to a Washington Examiner exclusive that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is recording a robocall for a Republican candidate whom Trump has rejected.

That candidate is Joe O’Dea, the underdog Senate contender in Colorado who is trailing Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) in public opinion polls and last week made waves when he vowed to “actively campaign against” Trump and spoke favorably of other party heavyweights, including DeSantis.

Sharing the article written by Washington Examiner senior political correspondent David Drucker on his Truth Social platform, Trump added a brief message. “A BIG MISTAKE!” Trump said in all capital letters.

J6 Committee Officially Demands Trump Testify

After voting unanimously to approve a subpoena at their last hearing, the House select committee probing the events of January 6th officially filed their demand for testimony and records from former President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon, giving Trump the opportunity, if he complies, to speak directly to the Democrats (plus outgoing GOP Reps. Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam Kinzinger (IL) on the committee as well as the American people.

In the subpoena addressed to Trump (embedded un full below), the J6 committee said the subpoena “calls for testimony regarding your dealings with multiple individuals who have now themselves invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination regarding their communications with you,” actions the committee stated “related directly to [Trump] and [his] conduct. They provide specific examples where your truthful testimony under oath will be important,” the committee explained.

“We recognize that a subpoena to a former President is a significant and historic action,” the committee’s letter continues, claiming “We do not take this action lightly. But as you likely know, you would not be the first former president to testify before Congress or to receive a congressional subpoena,” the letter states before listing former president stretching from John Quincy Adams to Gerald Ford. The committee, of course, doesn’t acknowledge the fact that their select committee and its goal of taking down the former president differs from the other former presidents and their appearances before congressional committees.

Major Media Group Compares Trump Supporters to ‘Lice, Fleas, Blood-Sucking Ticks’

MSNBC’s ongoing and relentless Nazi-style dehumanization campaign against Trump supporters took an especially ugly (but not unexpected) turn this week when the far-left outlet compared Trump supporters to “the lice, the fleas, and the blood-sucking ticks.”

This comes on top of what the Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson aptly described as MSNBC’s Rwanda-style race hate:

You don’t want to live in Rwanda, but in MSNBC, they’re already there. Now, you probably knew about Joy Reid, the race lady who’s been fixated on race hate for years now, but MSNBC has a new host, someone called Tiffany Cross, who hosts a show called “The Cross Connection.” Here’s a selection:

TIFFANY CROSS: Many of us have seen the dangers when powerful White people decide they want something, they annex it and they’ve never had a problem replacing the people who stand in their way.

MICHAEL HARRIOT, THEROOT.COM: We see American White people are going crazy. They’re going; they’re resorting to violence.

DOJ Wants Steve Bannon Locked Up for 6 Months and Fined $200,000

Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser and host of the “War Room” podcast, was found guilty of two charges of contempt of Congress by a federal jury on July 22. He reportedly refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the 2021 Capitol protests. On Monday, the Department of Justice recommended that Bannon be sentenced to prison for six months and hit with a $200,000 fine.

The DOJ’s sentencing memorandum, filed on October 17, accused Bannon of pursuing “a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt,” claiming he “flouted the [Jan. 6] Committee’s authority and ignored the subpoena’s demands.”

“For his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress, the Defendant should be sentenced to six months’ imprisonment—the top end of the Sentencing Guidelines’ range—and fined $200,000—based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation,” read the recommendation.

The DOJ also accused Bannon of employing “hyperbolic and sometimes violent rhetoric to disparage the Committee’s investigation, personally attack the Committee’s members, and ridicule the criminal justice system,” characterizing the 68-year-old’s criticisms of the committee as “attacks.”

Among Bannon’s comments cited as so-called attacks was the statement: “This is going to be the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden. Joe Biden ordered Merrick Garland to prosecute me from the White House lawn when he got off of Marine One.” (Read more from “DOJ Wants Steve Bannon Locked Up for 6 Months and Fined $200,000” HERE)

Trump Says US Jews ‘Have to Get Their Act Together… Before It Is Too Late’ as He Touts Work on Israel

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Jews in the US to be “more appreciative” of his administration’s work regarding Israel.

Trump, in a message on his Truth Social platform, said he had “done more” for the Jewish state that any of his predecessors, claiming he was popular enough in Israel to serve as the nation’s prime minister.

“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he wrote.

“Those living in Israel, though, are a different story – Highest approval rating in the World, could easily be P.M.!” the Republican continued.

“U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel – Before it is too late!” (Read more from “Trump Says US Jews ‘Have to Get Their Act Together… Before It Is Too Late’ as He Touts Work on Israel” HERE)

WATCH: Roger Stone Melts Down When He Learns Trump Won’t Pardon Him

Longtime GOP operative Roger Stone was visibly enraged when he discovered that former President Donald Trump opted not to pardon him following the 2020 election uproar, newly released footage revealed.

In the video, Stone was shown traveling in a car, believed to be on President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day, seething on the phone while openly musing about coming to blows with Jared Kushner and blasting Ivanka Trump as an “abortionist b****.”

“Jared Kushner has an IQ of 70. He’s coming to Miami. We will eject him from Miami very quickly; he will be leaving very quickly,” Stone said, visibly irked. “He has 100 security guards. I will have 5,000 security guards. You want to fight. Let’s fight. F*** you, f*** you and your abortionist b**** daughter.”

The “abortionist b**** daughter” retort referred to Ivanka, filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, who was part of a Danish camera crew that filmed the clip, told the Daily Beast.

Former President ‘Loves the Idea of Testifying’; Trump Subpoenaed by January 6 Committee

Trump ‘Loves the Idea of Testifying’ Before Jan. 6 Committee

By Fox News. Former President Donald Trump “loves the idea of testifying” before the House select committee investigating January 6th, a source close to Trump told Fox News Digital just after the panel unanimously voted to subpoena him.

The source said that if Trump complied with the subpoena and testified, he would “talk about how corrupt the election was, how corrupt the committee was, and how Nancy Pelosi did not call up the National Guard that Trump strongly recommended for her to do three days earlier on January 3, 2021.”

The source told Fox News Digital that it is unclear at this point if Trump actually will testify before the committee, but stressed that Trump “loves the idea.” . . .

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday, Trump slammed the committee and its investigation as a “witch hunt.”

“The committee is a hoax, a sham, a partisan witch hunt which is a continuation of the witch hunt that has gone on since the great day for our country that I came down the golden escalator with our future first lady,” Trump said. “They have no case, they have no ratings, so they have to try to do this to get publicity.” (Read more from “Trump ‘Loves the Idea of Testifying’ Before Jan. 6 Committee” HERE)

Trump Subpoenaed by January 6 Committee

By Daily Wire. The U.S. House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol voted unanimously Thursday afternoon to subpoena former President Donald Trump.

The lawmakers issued the subpoena to question Trump about his alleged role in the events that led up to some of the violence that unfolded that afternoon.

“The central cause of Jan. 6 was one man, Donald Trump, who many others followed,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the vice chairwoman of the committee. “President Trump had a premeditated plan to declare that the election was fraudulent and stolen before Election Day.”

Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said that the panel had an “obligation” to hear from the former president.

“This is a question about accountability to the American people,” Thompson said. “He must be accountable. He is required to answer for his actions.” (Read more from “Trump Subpoenaed by January 6 Committee” HERE)

Court Denies Trump’s Special Master Sneak Peek Into Classified Docs

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked that the United States Supreme Court deny former President Donald Trump’s request to block the DOJ from continuing its review of classified documents seized during the FBI’s unprecedented raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Trump’s attorneys last week elevated the former president’s legal battle to the Supreme Court, requesting that Justice Clarence Thomas, who has jurisdiction over the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, vacate the stay by a lower court that allowed the DOJ to review classified records taken in August from Mar-a-Lago instead of court-appointed Special Master Raymond Dearie.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued an injunction against the DOJ’s use of the 100 documents purportedly marked as classified to be used for investigative purposes.

The 11th Circuit overturned Cannon’s order and prevented Dearie from reviewing those materials. The panel had limited Dearie’s review to only the non-classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s legal team asked the Supreme Court to intervene, but the Justice Department in a filing on Tuesday argued that the court of appeals “correctly held that it had appellate jurisdiction to review and stay the portion of the September 5 order that requires the government to turn over the documents bearing classification markings for special-master review.” (Read more from “Court Denies Trump’s Special Master Sneak Peek Into Classified Docs” HERE)

DOJ to Supreme Court: Don’t Intervene in the Case Involving Our Ransacking of Mar-A-Lago

This story began as a napalm raid but has now been reduced to a fire used to toast marshmallows for smores. That’s due to this FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago being boiled down to lawyer’s work, which is dull and torturously slow. We’ve reached the end of the road here regarding the lawfare, as the Trump team asked the Supreme Court to intervene. The Justice Department is asking the high court to avoid this case since they need to keep it alive in the hopes that they can find something to weaponize against the former president. The Trump team is arguing that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled on the most recent DOJ appeal about their August raid, didn’t have the jurisdiction to rule on the special master ruling (via The Hill):

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to reject former President Trump’s plea to intervene in his legal battle and allow the special master to review the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump’s request to the high court comes after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the Justice Department, siphoning off some 100 classified records from the third-party special master review of the documents seized from his Florida home.

The motion from Trump largely hinged on procedural grounds, arguing the appeals court erred by granting a stay of a challenge to a Florida judge’s ruling appointing the special master that barred the Department of Justice (DOJ) from accessing the classified records for its investigation.

But the Justice Department on Tuesday swiped back at Trump, arguing his legal team had done little to justify the need for the court’s intervention, as he failed to show he would be harmed without its action.
