With More COVID Deaths in 2021 Than ‘20, When Does Trump Get His Apology?

/1 Comment/in , /by

The fullness of time and now the Omicron wave have made it obvious how preposterous the chief lines of criticism against Donald Trump were during the pandemic.

It has been said, over and over, that Trump almost single-handedly killed Americans. MSNBC host Chris Hayes a couple of months ago called for a truth-and-reconciliation-commission-type inquiry into how the former president “willfully got hundreds of thousands of people killed.” Willfully!

During one of the 2020 presidential debates, Joe Biden said of Trump, “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

Why, then, does Biden get to stay in office? Tragically, more people died of the coronavirus in 2021 than in 2020. Indeed, if you simply look at the progression of cases and deaths in the United States over time, you’d have no idea that a new president took office in January 2021.

That line from Biden in the debate, by the way, wasn’t a one-off; it was one of his main themes. “If this president is reelected, we know what will happen,” Biden said of Trump at the Democratic convention. “Cases and deaths will remain far too high.” (Read more from “With More COVID Deaths in 2021 Than ‘20, When Does Trump Get His Apology?” HERE)

Pelosi, Trump Reveal Plans for Competing Jan. 6 Observances

/0 Comments/in , /by

As members of Congress engage in a prayer vigil to mark the one-year anniversary of the riot on Capitol Hill, former President Donald Trump will mark the occasion at his Mar-a-Largo resort in Florida — battling the press.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, announced on Thursday a schedule of events for Jan. 6. Trump similarly announced the specifics for a press conference set for the same day.

“These events are intended as an observance of reflection, remembrance, and recommitment, in a spirit of unity, patriotism, and prayerfulness,” Pelosi said. “The patriotism and courage of our members as we prepare for this difficult day is an inspiration for which I sincerely thank you.”

In a letter to Democratic colleagues, which was shared with the media Thursday, Pelosi outlined the schedule, which includes four events. Congress will not be back in session until Jan. 10, but Pelosi invited her Democrat colleagues to the events. She said Congress will also live-stream its commemorations.

The first thing on her list is a pro forma session in the House at noon with a moment of silence on the House floor. At 1 p.m., Carla Hayden, the librarian of Congress, will host a conversation between historians Jon Meacham and Doris Kearns Goodwin about the events of Jan. 6.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Joe Rogan said former First Lady Michelle Obama could beat former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election if she decides to run.

Rogan spoke with comedian Tim Dillon on his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Dec. 24. The pair discussed a variety of topics, including COVID, vaccines and the 2024 election.

Rogan segued into the election by mentioning how the press is “trying to ice out” Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Michelle Obama and they’re gonna bring Harris,” said Rogan. “Michelle Obama and Harris. Harris comes back as the vice president, Michelle Obama’s the president. We get a double dose of diversity.”

Trump Endorses Alaska Gov. Dunleavy – If He Doesn’t Support Murkowski

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday he is endorsing GOP Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s reelection bid, as long as Dunleavy refrains from backing Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) in her race.

Murkowski was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump earlier this year on a single article of inciting insurrection in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol. She is the only one of those seven to come up for reelection next year.

Trump did not mention Murkowski’s impeachment vote in an emailed statement from his Save America PAC, which initially stated that Dunleavy “has my Complete and Total Endorsement” before adding that support was “subject to his non-endorsement of Senator Lisa Murkowski who has been very bad for Alaska, including losing ANWAR, perhaps the most important drilling site in the world, and much else.”

“In other words,” Trump emphasized, “if Mike endorses her, which is his prerogative, my endorsement of him is null and void, and of no further force or effect!”

The 45th president endorsed Murkowski’s primary rival Kelly Tshibaka in June and he has vowed to travel to Alaska to personally campaign against the incumbent. (Read more from “Trump Endorses Alaska Gov. Dunleavy – If He Doesn’t Support Murkowski” HERE)

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Keep White House Records Shielded From Jan. 6 Committee

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump petitioned the Supreme Court on Thursday to keep White House records concealed from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee on Jan. 6.

For months, Pelosi’s partisan probe has sought about 700 pages of documents housed by the National Archives to investigate the administration and connect the Trump White House with the riot at the Capitol in January. President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied Trump’s request to keep White House records private from House investigators while lower courts have rejected the former president’s claims of executive privilege.

“The limited interest the Committee may have in immediately obtaining the requested records pales in comparison to President Trump’s interest in securing judicial review before he suffers irreparable harm,” wrote Trump’s legal team, adding a request that the Supreme Court put a hold on lower rulings, which would otherwise compel their release. “The records sought are in the custody and control of the [National Archives and Records Administration] and therefore are being preserved as a matter of law. The Committee has identified no reasonable justification for requiring the documents immediately.” (Read more from “Trump Asks Supreme Court to Keep White House Records Shielded From Jan. 6 Committee” HERE)

Trump: China Must Pay For COVID Origins — ‘They Have to Pay Reparations’ (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

During an appearance on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” President Donald Trump argued China should be held accountable for its role in the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. . .

“I think the origins are so obvious,” he said. “They came out of the Wuhan lab. And I think if anybody thinks anything differently, they’re just kidding themselves. So, you can ask — China has to pay. They have to do something. They have to pay reparations. And China doesn’t have the money to pay those reparations. I believe that worldwide — I’m not just talking United States — worldwide, $60 trillion of damage, $60 trillion.” (Read more from “Trump: China Must Pay For COVID Origins — ‘They Have to Pay Reparations’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

FBI Lawyer Found Guilty of Forgery in Trump-Russia Probe Restored to ‘Good Standing’ Despite Still Being on Parole

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former senior FBI lawyer who was found guilty of forgery in the Trump-Russia probe has been restored to “good standing” status by the District of Columbia Bar Association despite not fully completing his probation sentence, RealClearInvestigations reported Thursday.

The bar had a record of repeatedly accommodating Kevin Clinesmith, a now convicted felon who pleaded guilty in August 2020 to falsifying a document that was the basis for a surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign official Carter Page.

After receiving a 12-months probation sentence, which he first agreed to, Clinesmith was expected to have his attorney designation stripped. However, the D.C. Bar did not pursue that course of action, despite long-standing precedent surrounding lawyers committing crimes in legal matters.

The bar did not proactively pursue disciplinary action against him either, until five months had passed since he pleaded guilty and RealClearInvestigations had raised media awareness of the scandal. Following the public attention, the bar then conducted a review of Clinesmith’s case, temporarily suspending him in the meantime.

The court that presides over the bar association granted Clinesmith a mild penalty of suspension with time served in September. He was prohibited from practicing law for one year until August 2021, after which he became an “active member” in “good standing” again. However, the bar never confirmed whether Clinesmith had fulfilled his probation time or met the community service requirement before reinstating his title, records obtained by RealClearInvestigations indicate.

J6 Committee Fabricates More Evidence, Says Trump Waited 187 Minutes to Call for Peace. It Was Actually 25

/1 Comment/in , /by

Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney went after former President Donald Trump in her prime-time performance on Monday claiming that private messages of the president’s staff revealed an apathetic leader complicit in the riot at the Capitol as the attack unfolded.

“The violence was evident to all — it was covered in real time by almost every news channel,” said Cheney, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hand-picked vice chair of the Select Committee on January 6. “But, for 187 minutes, President Trump refused to act when action by our president was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.”

Trump’s 187-minute delay to action, she added, was a “supreme dereliction of duty.” An actual examination of the day’s events, however, shows no such delay.

According to a detailed timeline of the turmoil by The New York Times, the first building was not breached until about 2:13 p.m. The timeline was corroborated by The Washington Post, which stamped the first break-in at 2:15 p.m. Trump’s first tweet addressing the upheaval shortly followed at 2:38 p.m., when the president made a plea for peace, writing, “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

About 30 minutes later, Trump addressed the demonstrators again on Twitter. (Read more from “J6 Committee Fabricates More Evidence, Says Trump Waited 187 Minutes to Call for Peace. It Was Actually 25” HERE)

Trump Names Potential Running Mates for 2024 Election

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Trump has not formally announced he’ll run for the office again in 2024 yet, although he has hinted broadly many times, promising his supporters they’ll be happy with his decision.

So who would be his running mate, if, in fact, he’s on the campaign trail?

According to a report in Just the News, Trump himself recently said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would be good. . .

“I think Ron [DeSantis] would be good. I think Mike [Pence] has been very hurt by what took place with respect to January 6. I think he’s been mortally wounded, frankly,” Trump said. . .

But Trump noted there were a number of other strong candidates, including South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott. And he noted there were women who were qualified as well. (Read more from “Trump Names Potential Running Mates for 2024 Election” HERE)

Donald Trump Has Republicans in Mind to Lead GOP in 2024 if He Doesn’t Run

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump appears to be eying a 2024 presidential run, but he also believes there are some “good people” within the Republican Party who could make a strong candidate if he chooses not to mount another campaign. . .

During a Wednesday interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump said there are a “couple of people” who would be “very good” candidates for the nomination if he doesn’t run. He has “two or three” people in mind, but he wouldn’t tell Hewitt specifically who he thought would give Republicans their best chance at winning back the presidency in 2024.

Trump’s likely going to wait until after the 2022 midterms to officially launch a campaign if he plans to run. At that point, he told Hewitt he would “discuss” the subject of who Republicans should “flock to” if he decides not to vie for the presidency again.

“I’ll tell you about that someday soon, okay? I’ll tell you about it, but I’m not going to say anything about it now,” Trump told Hewitt when asked who Republicans should nominate. “We do have some good people. We really do. We have some very good people.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Has Republicans in Mind to Lead GOP in 2024 if He Doesn’t Run” HERE)
