Trump Slams Door on Five More Countries in Major Immigration Crackdown

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded a travel ban by adding five more countries and imposing limits on others.

The move came as the Trump administration continues to tighten U.S. entry requirements and immigration standards.

“The restrictions and limitations imposed by the Proclamation are necessary to prevent the entry of foreign nationals about whom the United States lacks sufficient information to assess the risks they pose, garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives,” the proclamation states.

Through his actions on Tuesday, citizens from five countries – Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria, as well as individuals holding Palestinian-Authority-issued travel documents – will face a ban on travel to the United States, the White House said. In addition, existing partial bans on Laos and Sierra Leone were expanded into full suspensions of entry.

Another 15 countries – Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia and Zimbabwe – will face partial restrictions.

The proclamation also “narrows broad family-based immigrant visa carve-outs that carry demonstrated fraud risks, while preserving case-by-case waivers,” the White House said. (Read more from “Trump Slams Door on Five More Countries in Major Immigration Crackdown” HERE)

Trump Thinks Russia’s Putin Wants All of Ukraine: WH Staff Chief Susie Wiles

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump thinks Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wants much more than what’s on the table in talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war, according to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

“The experts think that if he could get the rest of Donetsk, then he [Putin] would be happy,” Wiles told Vanity Fair in August, according to a report published Tuesday. “Donald Trump thinks he wants the whole country.”

Trump’s team has been pushing Ukraine to give up some of the Donbas region, a key sticking point in the talks, and they’re now trying to sell Russia on the peace plan. Moscow has not yet agreed to these terms and Ukraine is loath to cede any territory without security guarantees from the United States.

Trump for months has been convinced Putin is hellbent on taking over the entirety of Ukraine with his nearly four-year-old war there — disagreeing with advisers who felt that giving him Ukraine’s easternmost region would be enough, Wiles signaled.

A senior US official told The Post the same late last month as the latest US peace plan push was just kicking off. When asked what concessions Russia would have to make in a peace deal, the person said it was simply getting Russia to accept that it can’t take over all of Ukraine.

Christmas Day Gas Prices Expected to Drop to Lowest Level in 5 Years

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s energy policies are delivering what is expected to be the lowest national average Christmas Day gas price for Americans since 2020, his last full year in office.

GasBuddy projects that on Christmas Day, the average gas price nationally will be $2.79 per gallon, down from $2.95 per gallon last year under former President Joe Biden, who deployed America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve during his administration when prices soared.

“Thanks to President Trump, gas prices have hit a five-year low and Christmas Day gas prices are projected to fall to the lowest level since 2020,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Breitbart News. “Lowering energy prices for American families and businesses will continue to be a top priority for President Trump in the new year.”

Per GasBuddy, Americans are set to save “over half a billion dollars during the Christmas week compared to last year” on gas.

America saw gas prices rocket rapidly under Biden. On December 25, 2020, when Trump was president, prices nationwide averaged $2.26 on Christmas. On December 25, 2021–just 10 months into the Biden administration–the average cost of a gallon of gas rose by a whole dollar nationally, to $3.26 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

Trump Stands by Blunt Response Following Rob Reiner’s Death

/6 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Monday defended a controversial social media post he made following the death of actor and director Rob Reiner, doubling down on his criticism while acknowledging he had never been a supporter of the outspoken Hollywood figure.

Trump’s remarks came after reporters questioned him about a Truth Social post in which he said Reiner suffered from what he described as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The post followed news that Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead inside their Brentwood, California, home.

Asked whether he stood by the statement amid criticism from some Republicans, Trump did not back away.

“Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all,” Trump told reporters. “He was a deranged person, as far as Trump is concerned. He said — he knew it was false, in fact it’s the exact opposite — that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. The Russia Hoax — he was one of the people behind it.”

Trump argued that Reiner’s years-long public attacks, particularly his promotion of claims tying Trump’s 2016 campaign to Russia, justified his response. The president said those allegations were knowingly false and contributed to what he called lasting damage to Reiner’s public credibility.

“I think he hurt himself career-wise,” Trump added.

Reiner was a prominent and vocal critic of Trump and played a visible role in efforts to keep the Russia collusion narrative alive well after it failed to produce evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Trump. In 2017, Reiner helped launch the Committee to Investigate Russia, a group formed alongside Obama-era officials, left-leaning journalists, and political activists. The organization promoted claims that Russia had compromised Trump, allegations that were later undercut by multiple investigations.

At the same time, the president’s sharp rhetoric in the immediate aftermath of Reiner’s death has raised concerns among some allies about tone and timing. Even critics of Reiner have questioned whether the moment called for restraint, given the circumstances surrounding his death and the impact on his family.

Still, Trump made clear that he sees no obligation to soften his views toward figures he believes played an active role in advancing false narratives about him.

“He knew it was false,” Trump said, reiterating that Reiner’s accusations were part of a broader effort to discredit his presidency.

Susie Wiles Makes Shocking Statements About Trump, Vance, White House Insiders

/0 Comments/in , , /by

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles made shocking statements about President Donald Trump and his cabinet during an extensive interview with Vanity Fair.

The outlet published a two-piece profile on Wiles and the inside of the Trump White House on Tuesday. She was the primary subject, though other Trump administration officials’ comments were included in the article. Wiles put out a statement on X calling the article, which was based off of over 10 interviews with the chief of staff, “a disingenuously framed hit piece.”

The profile opens by listing some of the ways Wiles characterized the cabinet.

Wiles said Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality” and called Vance’s conversion from criticizing the president to being his biggest fan “sort of political,” according to Vanity Fair. Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot,” according to the Wiles in the article. On Musk and some of his erratic social media posts, she said: “I think that’s when he’s microdosing.” Wiles said she doesn’t have first-hand knowledge, the outlet reported.

Throughout the two-part series, some of the hand-picked quotes were expanded on to give Wiles’ more complete thinking on the staff she works with. . .

“Some clinical psychologist that knows one million times more than I do will dispute what I’m going to say. But high-functioning alcoholics or alcoholics in general, their personalities are exaggerated when they drink. And so I’m a little bit of an expert in big personalities,” Wiles was quoted in Vanity Fair while talking about Trump. Her father, Pat Summerall, was an absentee father and an alcoholic. It was in this context that Wiles said the president has “an alcoholic’s personality,” adding that he “operates [with] a view that there’s nothing he can’t do. Nothing, zero, nothing,” according to the outlet. (Read more from “Susie Wiles Makes Shocking Statements About Trump, Vance, White House Insiders” HERE)

Unredacted Trump Photos From Epstein Files Dump Reveal Glamorous Group of Adult Models: ‘He Was Very Gentlemanly’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Unredacted photos of President Trump from the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s estate — which oddly blurred the faces of women he posed with — reveal he was standing with “adult women models,” according to exclusive images obtained by The Post.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a trove of images from Epstein’s estate Friday, including two shots of the president with women whose faces were blacked out — fueling speculation they could be the disgraced financier’s victims.

But a pair of pictures obtained exclusively by The Post show Trump standing next to beautiful grown women.

One woman pictured in a black-and-white image with the future president and five other glamorous ladies in Hawaiian leis said he was a “gentleman” who went out of his way to make sure the group enjoyed their evening at Mar-a-Lago.

“I don’t remember much of that,” she told the Telegraph. (Read more from “Unredacted Trump Photos From Epstein Files Dump Reveal Glamorous Group of Adult Models: ‘He Was Very Gentlemanly’” HERE)

Donald Trump Condoms and Adult Toys: New Jeffrey Epstein Images Released

By Joel Lefevre. More shocking images are emerging about some of the things Jeffrey Epstein kept track of on his island. The late child sex offender, it seems, didn’t just have records of the guests who visited his place in the Caribbean.

Among the physical records he kept were sex toys, according to news reports, including a novelty condom with a likeness to Donald Trump. Behind the table, there’s a sign reading Trump Condom $4.50. In addition, there were pics of former US President Bill Clinton with Jeffrey’s girlfriend and conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

The details of what transpired on Jeffrey’s island are disturbing enough to hear. All of these new photos add yet another element of shock. The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published the findings on their X account on Friday, attaching a Dropbox folder for all to see.

Donald and Bill aren’t the only celebrities seen in the photos. Among the others are Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

In their big reveal, none of the released photos were dated. Names of potential victims and identifying details were redacted. The latest collection supposedly contains over 95,000 images, with 19 revealed on Friday. Representative Robert Garcia says that these disturbing photos raise more questions about Jeffrey and his relationship with some powerful people. In early December, the Oversight Committee released photos of Jeffrey’s island. (Read more from “Donald Trump Condoms and Adult Toys: New Jeffrey Epstein Images Released” HERE)

Listen to the People, President Trump — They Really DO Feel Economic Pain

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is stepping out of his White House bubble to address economic gloom; we expect he’ll make time to listen as well as speechify.

He needs to be careful: Slamming Democrats’ talk of “affordability” as a “con job” is readily twisted to make it seem like he doesn’t think people are suffering.

We realize that he means that Dems are responsible for the nation’s current woes; they can’t credibly claim to be the party of strong economic growth, which is the only way out of this box.

But his mission, Tuesday in Pennsylvania and in more speeches across the country early in the new year, is to address public frustration over stubbornly high prices and slow wage growth.

The prez can and should offer genuine assurances, but must admit the frustration is painfully real: Three-quarters of Americans view the economy negatively, a Fox News survey found last month.

That’s up from the 70% who felt that way at the end of Joe Biden’s presidency. (Read more from “Listen to the People, President Trump — They Really DO Feel Economic Pain” HERE)

Trump: ‘I’d Like to See’ Mark Walker Confirmed as Religious Freedom Ambassador

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Thursday he would like to see the Senate confirm his nominee for the post of Religious Freedom ambassador, former Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC).

During an executive order signing to establish a national policy framework for artificial intelligence, Breitbart News asked the president if he would like see Walker confirmed before Christmas.

When Trump asked if something came up, Breitbart News emphasized that Walker was nominated in April and has yet to receive a confirmation hearing from Senate Foreign Relations Committee (SFRC) Chair Jim Risch (R-ID).

“I’m hearing very good things about him… I’ve always found him to be a high-quality person. Yeah, I’d like to see that happen,” Trump responded.

He also lauded Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) for his work in confirming nominees. (Read more from “Trump: ‘I’d Like to See’ Mark Walker Confirmed as Religious Freedom Ambassador” HERE)

Trump Accuses Ilhan Omar Of Marrying Her Brother

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump accused Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota of marrying her brother during an interview with Politico’s Dasha Burns released Tuesday.

Questions about whether Omar committed immigration fraud have dogged the Somali-born Minnesota congresswoman since she was elected to Congress in 2018, with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune uncovering inconsistencies regarding her marital history in a 2019 report. Trump took aim at Omar, who has attacked operations by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into the Minneapolis area to target illegal immigrants from Somalia after revelations into at least $1 billion in welfare fraud, some of which allegedly went to the radical Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab, during his appearance on “The Conversation.”

“I want to see people that contribute. I don’t want to see Somalia,” Trump told Burns. “I don’t want to see a woman that, you know, marries her brother to get in and then becomes a congressman, does nothing but complain.”

Omar claimed during a Sunday appearance on “Face the Nation” that Somalis in Minnesota were also victims of the welfare fraud scheme.

“All she does is complain, complain, complain and yet her country is a mess. You know, it’s one of the worst in the world,” Trump said. “Let her go back, fix up her own country. So no, Somalia, and I was right about it.” (Read more from “Trump Accuses Ilhan Omar Of Marrying Her Brother” HERE)

Zelensky Says He Still Has One Big Unanswered Question in Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Monday that one key question remains unanswered as the Trump administration works to hammer out a peace deal end the war in Ukraine.

As President Trump pushes for a cease-fire deal to end Russia’s nearly four year invasion, Zelensky maintained that the US and its allies have yet to offer clear details on what security guarantees would be granted to Ukraine to protect it from future aggression.

“There is one question I — and all Ukrainians — want to get an answer to: if Russia again starts a war, what will our partners do?” Zelensky told Bloomberg.

The main disagreements in the peace deal involve Russia’s maximalist demands that Ukraine shrink its military, totally cede the contested Donbas region and give up any hopes of joining NATO.

“There are visions of the US, Russia and Ukraine — and we don’t have a unified view on Donbas,” Zelensky said. (Read more from “Zelensky Says He Still Has One Big Unanswered Question in Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal” HERE)
