China: ‘Radical’ Trump Administration Building ‘New Iron Curtain’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s administration is a “radical” group bent on provoking “a second Cold War” with Beijing, a senior Chinese diplomat argued while attempting to woo European powers.

“In modern history, the progress of human civilization has been halted several times by radical forces,” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the French Institute of International Relations in Paris. “What we are seeing now is that some are again maneuvering to draw a new Iron Curtain, erect another Berlin Wall, and start a second Cold War. The China-U.S. relationship is in its most testing time since the establishment of diplomatic relations.”

The Chinese envoy offered that denunciation to cap a week of overtures to European nations, a diplomatic swing that came on the heels of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s most recent round of warnings about the threats posed by Chinese espionage and economic influence. Wang called attention to disputes between U.S. and European officials, especially around climate change policy and the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, while urging the French audience to overlook the Chinese Communist Party’s authoritarian nature.

“Despite the difference in social systems, China and the EU are meant to be comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals,” he said, referring to the European Union’s landmark 2019 warning about China.

Trump: Plane ‘Loaded With Thugs’ Under Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump said a group of “thugs” in “dark uniforms” who traveled on a plane to Washington, D.C., is under investigation.

During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that aired Monday night, the president said “somebody” got on a plane and made a trip to the Republican National Convention last week. While convention meetings took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, delivered speeches at the White House during the virtual prime time portion of the event.

Trump said that “like seven people” were on the plane who intended “to do big damage,” but it was unclear if the original “somebody” was one of them.

“We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that. They’re on a plane,” Trump told the host.

He also said the matter is “under investigation” and couldn’t talk about it further. “I’ll tell you sometime,” he told Ingraham when she pressed for more details. (Read more from “Trump: Plane ‘Loaded With Thugs’ Under Investigation” HERE)

WATCH: Trump Lit up the Skies (And the Right) While the Streets Raged — and Remade Conventions Forever

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. The most impressive political fireworks display most will recall ever seeing on their TV sets finished President Donald Trump’s address at the close of the four-day Republican National Convention Thursday evening, wrapping up the party’s rallies, energizing the president’s supporters, and changing the convention genre forever.

Just one week after a physically isolated, professionally awkward, and visually timid Democratic National Convention finale featured Joe and Jill Biden walking down an empty hallway to a cute fireworks display while socially distanced cars honked their horns in a Delaware parking lot, the Washington sky was alight and a live concert played while hundreds of attendees applauded on the White House’s South Lawn.

The president’s speech began and finished with American history, distilling the platform he ran on and the accomplishments of his administration into an hour-long address focused on “Promises Made, Promises Kept.” Its themes included industry and fairer trade deals versus outsourcing and China; law and order and police versus lawlessness, murder, and defund movements; and late-term abortion versus the innocent unborn and a moral America.

Characterizing former Vice President Biden as a weak betrayer of the American worker, the president said, “For 47 years, Joe Biden took the donations of blue-collar workers, gave them hugs and,” drawing laughter, “even kisses… And told them he felt their pain – and then he flew back to Washington and voted to ship their jobs to China and many other distant lands.” (Read more from “Trump Lit up the Skies (And the Right) While the Streets Raged — and Remade Conventions Forever” HERE)

Trump Campaign Rakes in $76 Million During Republican National Convention

By Fox News. The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and their joint-fundraising committees raked in $76 million during the 2020 Republican National Convention this week, Fox News has learned.

A senior Trump campaign official told Fox News that the campaign, the RNC, and Trump Victory and Trump MAGAC (Make America Great Again Committee) raised $76 million between the kick-off to the convention Monday and President Trump’s formal nomination acceptance Thursday night.

President Trump Wants Drug Tests for Himself and Joe Biden Ahead of Their Upcoming Debate

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump during a Wednesday interview said that he wants both himself and Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden to have drug tests prior to their debate next month.

Trump said Joe Biden performed poorly during his Democratic presidential primary debates but improved markedly during the last debate, where he went one-on-one against Sen. Bernie Sanders. Trump suggested that the former vice president could have taken drugs that boosted his performance.

“Nobody thought that he was even going to win,” the president told the Washington Examiner. “Because his debate performances were so bad. Frankly, his best performance was against Bernie. We’re going to call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie. It wasn’t that he was Winston Churchill because he wasn’t, but it was a normal, boring debate. You know, nothing amazing happened. And we are going to call for a drug test because there’s no way — you can’t do that.

Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A number of Democrat mayors from Minnesota endorsed President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday as Vice President Mike Pence campaigns in the state.

“Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents’ jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don’t recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us,” the letter, signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich, states.

RNC Featured Diverse Lineup of Speakers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The 2020 Republican National Convention (RNC) this week featured a notable amount of diversity in its speaker lineup that included nearly two dozen Black, Hispanic, Asian, and even handicapped speakers.

The speakers delivered heartfelt speeches about their own personal struggles, how they became Republican, or how they have benefitted under the Trump administration.

One of the most memorable speeches from the first night of the RNC was from Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican senator of South Carolina, who said he went from flunking four subjects in high school to realizing that education was the closest thing to “magic.” . . .

Another memorable speech the first night was from Kimberly Klacik, a young female U.S. House of Representative candidate for Maryland’s 7th district.

Rep. Vernon Jones (D-GA), a Georgia state representative, also delivered a fiery speech on the first night, saying the Democrat Party does not “want black people to leave the mental plantation they’ve had us on for decades.”

President Trump Uses White House Stage to Attack Biden; WATCH: Chaos Erupts Outside White House at Trump’s RNC Speech

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Four years ago, Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president by offering himself as the only figure capable of fixing a broken, demoralized country.

On Thursday night, in front of about 1,500 supporters at the White House, he offered himself as the bulwark against the chaos and disorder threatening his vision of America.

“Your vote will decide whether we protect law-abiding Americans or whether we give free rein to violent anarchists, agitators, and criminals who threaten our citizens,” he said. “And this election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life or whether we allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it.”

He delivered his remarks from a flag-festooned stage on the South Lawn of the White House. The floodlit building behind him made for a majestic setting, but it brought accusations that he was exploiting the “People’s House” for political purposes in a breach of ethics regulations. . .

“Joe Biden is not the savior of America’s soul — he is the destroyer of America’s jobs, and if given the chance, he will be the destroyer of American greatness,” he said. (Read more from “President Trump Uses White House Stage to Attack Biden” HERE)

VP’s Top Foreign Policy Aide: John Bolton Is A Liar Who Fabricated Intel To Start Wars (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, who currently serves as National Security Adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, reamed John Bolton on Thursday for lying to President Trump by presenting falsified information, as well as prioritizing his own interests before that of the administration or America.

“John Bolton, I believe, is actually an architect of failure,” Kellogg said. “He had his own agenda. He pushed his own agenda.”

In the interview on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on Fox News, Kellogg explained that John Bolton not only “fabricated information” about other nations like Iran, but also “single-handedly destroyed Afghan negotiations.” (Read more from “VP’s Top Foreign Policy Aide: John Bolton Is A Liar Who Fabricated Intel To Start Wars” HERE)

Trump: ‘All Children, Born and Unborn, Have a God-Given Right to Life’; Ben Carson: ‘What Is Racist Is the Fact That African Americans Have the Highest Abortion Rate’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump continued his commitment to the unborn Thursday evening during his formal acceptance speech at the White House on the last night of the Republican National Convention (RNC).

Trump drew a stark contrast between his pro-life policies and the pro-abortion agenda of Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, one that would codify Roe v. Wade, fully fund Planned Parenthood, and force American taxpayers to fund abortion on demand:

Joe Biden claims he has empathy for the vulnerable – yet the party he leads supports the extreme late-term abortion of defenseless babies right up to the moment of birth. Democrat leaders talk about moral decency, but they have no problem with stopping a baby’s beating heart in the 9th month of pregnancy.

“Democrat politicians refuse to protect innocent life, and then they lecture us about morality and saving America’s soul?” the president questioned. “Tonight, we proudly declare that all children, born and unborn, have a God-given right to life.”

Despite embracing the most extreme abortion rights agenda in history, Democrats avoided the issue almost entirely during their convention last week. (Read more from “Trump: ‘All Children, Born and Unborn, Have a God-Given Right to Life’” HERE)

Ben Carson: ‘What Is Racist Is the Fact That African Americans Have the Highest Abortion Rate’

By Breitbart. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said at the Republican National Committee’s 2020 convention on Thursday that President Donald Trump is not a racist and that the real racism taking place in this country is the high rate of abortion among blacks.

“President Trump does not dabble in identity politics,” Carson said. “He wants everyone to succeed and believes in the adage, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats.’ Many on the other side love to incite division by claiming that President Trump is a racist. They could not be more wrong.” He went on to say.

Years ago, Jesse Jackson gave Donald Trump an award for the economic opportunities he created for black people. In Palm Beach, Florida, Donald Trump led the crusade to allow blacks and Jews into private clubs and resorts. One of the first things he did as president was bring the Office of Historically Black Colleges and Universities into the White House so that it could get proper attention and financial support. Before the pandemic, African American unemployment was at an all-time low.

. . .“What is racist is the fact that African Americans have the highest abortion rate,” Carson said. “President Trump is the most pro-life President in our country’s history. He will continue to fight for those who cannot yet speak. (Read more from “Ben Carson: ‘What Is Racist Is the Fact That African Americans Have the Highest Abortion Rate’” HERE)

When Obama Postmaster Closed Facilities During 2012 Election, Democrats Sang Different Tune

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the discredited cries of Russia collusion and Ukrainian aid interference, Democrats in Washington have sounded a new alarm that President Trump and his new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy may be trying to thwart mail-in balloting in the November election by cutting costs at the postal service.

DeJoy has assured lawmakers he has delayed his reform plans until after the election to ensure voters aren’t impacted. But Democrats have continued to harp on the idea that Trump is engaged in a conspiracy to suppress ballots.

“What you are witnessing is a president of the United States who is doing everything he can to suppress the vote, make it harder for people to engage in mail-in balloting at a time when people will be putting their lives on the line by having to go out to a polling station and vote,” Sen. Bernie Sanders told NBC’s Meet the Press earlier this month. “This is a crisis for American democracy. We have got to act and act now.”

Interestingly enough, Sanders saw no similar conspiracy in 2012 when President Barack Obama’s Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe proposed closing as many as 223 mail processing facilities and eliminating thousands of postal jobs.

To be fair, Sanders and 26 of his Senate Democratic colleagues strongly opposed Donahue’s cutbacks, asking for a delay and congressional oversight. But in their letter, they didn’t once mention concerns about mail ballots or elections, instead focusing on lost jobs for unionized postal workers and inconvenience for rural customers.
