/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, President Trump signed the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief package passed by Congress that includes $600 stimulus checks for Americans. The president had threatened to veto the package if Congress did not increase the payments to $2,000.

/0 Comments/in , /by

If Trump blocks the spending package, large parts of the U.S. government will start to shut down next week for lack of funds at a time when officials are distributing two coronavirus vaccines and working to respond to a massive hacking attack.

WATCH: Liberals Are Probably Fuming Over These Seven Words Trump Uttered in Rejecting COVID Bill; Trump Demands Congress Add $2000 Direct Payments To Bill

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Trump was not happy with the amount in the relief checks. He wants a bill with $2,000 payments and has threatened a veto. Yes, I like the veto threat, but it’s probably a symbolic gesture. Trump could whip out the pen, but these current spending and relief bills passed with veto-proof majorities. Should this happen, it will be overridden. I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of harping on moral or symbolic victories. Yet, in his video address regarding these bills, Trump brought the 2020 election into focus, warning that the next administration will have to handle COVID relief, and that administration might be him.

How the GOP Plans to Challenge the Election Results; Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Townhall. President Donald Trump on Monday met with a handful of Republican members of Congress about how to move forward with challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tweeted after the meeting saying the group is “preparing to fight back against mounting evidence of voter fraud.”

. . .According to Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), a number of Republican legislators have questions about voting irregularities that took place.

“I believe we have multiple senators and the question is not if but how many,” Brooks told CNN.

One of Brooks’ goals is to challenge election results in a minimum of six battleground states, although there’s a potential for more. He is also hoping to get 72 lawmakers – between both chambers – to make five minute speeches, something he dubs “a significant task.” (Read more from “How the GOP Plans To Challenge the Election Results” HERE)

Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania

By WND. President Trump on Monday announced “big news” is coming from Pennsylvania after his legal time filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in a case challenging the outcome of the 2020 election.

“Big news coming out of Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Very big illegal ballot drop that cannot be accounted for. Rigged Election!” . . .

At a public hearing held by Pennsylvania lawmakers and President Trump’s campaign on Nov. 25, a witness drew gasps when he described “spikes” in the vote count the evening of the election in which Joe Biden gained 570,000 votes to the president’s 3,200.

Meanwhile, a U.S. Postal Service contractor, Jesse Morgan, has claimed his trailer full of from 144,000 to 288,000 completed mail-in ballots disappeared after he delivered them from New York state to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, depot.

The overnight spikes in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh reported at the November hearing came after Trump held a lead of some 700,000 votes. The official count ended with a Biden lead of some 80,000. (Read more from “Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania” HERE)

By WND. On Sunday, President Donald Trump put the rumors to rest that he would declare martial law. . .

Trump Says Media Is Exaggerating Extent of Recent Cyberattack on U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump responded to the unprecedented cyberattack on multiple American government departments and private businesses, saying that the attack is “well under control” and being exaggerated by the “Fake News Media.”

Trump, who had not publicly commented on the attack until Saturday morning, placed blame on China, contradicting some U.S. government officials – including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo – who have said that Russia was the most likely actor to have launched it.

“The Cyber Hack is far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality. I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning, adding that the media was afraid to acknowledge that it could have been China, not Russia, who carried out the attack. . .

The attack used an array of sophisticated tools to tap into dozens of government and private networks, including the Pentagon, the Treasury and U.S. nuclear laboratories. Intelligence agencies told Congress that the attack was likely carried out by the S.V.R., a top Russian intelligence agency that descended from the K.G.B.

In a joint statement released Wednesday, the F.B.I., Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that they were “investigating and gathering intelligence in order to attribute, pursue, and disrupt the responsible threat actors.” (Read more from “Trump Says Media Is Exaggerating Extent of Recent Cyberattack on U.S.” HERE)
