President Trump Announces ‘Permanent Ceasefire’ in Syria

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Wednesday announced that Turkey and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Syria will begin a “permanent ceasefire” as he renewed his pledge that the United States military will leave the region.

“Let someone else fight over this long-bloodstained sand,” Trump said in the Diplomatic Room at the White House, accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien. “We were supposed to be there for 30 days. That was almost 10 years ago. So we’re there for 30 days, and now we’re leaving. It’s supposed to be a very quick hit, and let’s get out, and it was a quick hit except they stayed for almost 10 years,” he added.

Trump said that he heard on Wednesday morning that the ceasefire would begin. “Earlier this morning, the government of Turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria and making the ceasefire permanent,” he said.

“I do believe it will be permanent,” he said. “How we define the word ‘permanent’ in that part of the world is somewhat questionable, we all know that, but I believe it will be permanent.” . . .

“I want to again thank everyone on the American team who helped achieve the cease fire in Syria, saved so many lives. Along with president [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan of Turkey, a man I’ve gotten to know very well, and a man who loves his country,” Trump said. “And in his mind, he’s doing the right thing for his country.” (Read more from “Trump Announces ‘Permanent Ceasefire’ in Syria Between Turkey and Kurds” HERE)

Ironic Twist: Democrats’ Impeachment Probe Interfering in Ongoing Presidential Race

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into whether President Donald Trump attempted to influence the looming 2020 elections may interfere with the outcome of the presidential race in an ironic twist.

In other words, the Democrats are doing what they accuse Trump of trying to do: interfering in the ongoing presidential race. House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry on September 24, months before the American public goes to the polls to elect the next president in November 2020.

Until the American public votes in November 2020, it will remain unclear whether the Democrats’ impeachment effort will hurt or benefit Trump. The impeachment probe, however, is already having an impact on the ongoing 2020 presidential election, potentially changing the minds of some voters.

Mainstream media outlets have acknowledged that impeachment could have collateral effects linked to the 2020 elections.

“Impeachment could drastically affect the 2020 election,” MSNBC conceded on September 25, a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced the impeachment probe. (Read more from “Ironic Twist: Democrats’ Impeachment Probe Interfering in Ongoing Presidential Race” HERE)

How the Impeachment Inquiry Could Affect the 2020 U.S. Election

By Quartz. . .Because 2020 is an election year, both sides will manage proceedings with an eye to the November poll. It is possible the house will vote before the end of the year: the decision to impeach Bill Clinton for lying under oath was made in the last three months of 1998.

Clinton was cleared by the Senate by the following February, so it is also possible the Senate will hold its own proceedings before most of the presidential primaries commence. It takes two-thirds of the Senate to remove a president from office, which has never happened.

While several Republican house representatives have expressed concern about the president’s behavior, the overwhelming majority of Republican politicians are either supporting him or remaining silent. . .

At the moment, Elizabeth Warren challenges Biden’s lead in the polls, with Bernie Sanders the only other candidate consistently supported by more than 10% of Democrats. None of the others in a crowded field—12 have qualified to take part in the next televised Democratic debate—have much support, and they will start to drop out once the primary season begins in February 2020.

If Biden continues to lose support, there is room for someone to emerge as the moderate front-runner, given that both Warren and Sanders represent the more radical instincts of the party. This is presumably why so many candidates are determined to continue campaigning, even when some of them rarely muster 2% in the polls.

WATCH: GOP Intelligence Committee Members Sound the Alarm on How Secretly Dems Are Leading the Impeachment Process

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee voiced their concern on Tuesday over how secretly Democrats have been conducting the impeachment process of President Donald Trump.

“This has been a closed-door, unfair, and unprecedented process. Tens of millions of Americans should know that their member of Congress has had no access to any of the transcripts. In fact, no member has been able to read every transcript,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told reporters during the weekly GOP press conference.

Stefanik, a two term member of the Intelligence committee, revealed that to date, Democrats have only made the testimony from two witnesses even available to committee members — that of U.S. special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Even then, Democrats have severely restricted the availability of transcripts.

“We were notified this week at our staff level that they would only be printing one transcript for every single member, whether you’re on the committee or not, and you would have to read it with a member of Democratic staff,” Stefanik explained. “That is unprecedented and unfair.”

The New York congresswoman further questioned how Democrats are able to voice their support for the impeachment proceedings when they do not even have access to the evidence.

Flashback: Remarks From Biden Surface After He Attacks Trump’s ‘Lynching’ Remarks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was quick to attack President Donald Trump on Tuesday after Trump referred to impeachment as a “lynching,” which is the same term that Biden used in 1998 to describe the impeachment of then-President Bill Clinton.

“So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights,” Trump tweeted. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!” . . .

In an appearance on CNN in October 1998, however, Biden referred to the Clinton impeachment as a “partisan lynching,” saying:

Even if the President should be impeached, history is going to question whether or not this was just a partisan lynching or whether or not it was something that in fact met the standard, the very high bar, that was set by the founders as to what constituted an impeachable offense.

‘Racist Watch’ Website Demonizes Trump Supporters, but It Has an Upside

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Some weirdos have developed a site called “Racist Watch” that identifies the names and locations of all people who have donated to the Trump campaign. I’m sure they intended this so that far left wackos can ostracize their neighbors who like Trump, and possibly protest outside their homes like crazy people.

However, when I looked up my zip code I realized that this is a great tool to find new friends near you. It’s like a dating app for finding friends who aren’t crippled by hatred and mental illness. Isn’t it always a bummer when you think you’ve met someone nice and then they ruin it by telling you all their irrational fears about the president putting gay people in concentration camps?

The RNC Raised Four Times as Much as the DNC in September

/0 Comments/in , /by

To say the Republican National Committee outpaced the Democratic National Committee in fundraising last month would be a bit of an understatement. According to federal campaign finance reports filed on Sunday, the RNC out-raised its Democratic counterpart by almost 400 percent during the month of September.

The RNC’s report shows the committee pulling in a hefty $27.32 million for last month with zero debts, while the DNC’s numbers indicate $6.98 million in donations and $7.23 million in debts.

An RNC blog post touts the party’s haul as “the BEST off-cycle month in history for either party.”

“While Democrats are focused on their political vendetta against President Trump,” the post reads, “the RNC is seeing record-breaking support allowing us to continue to invest in our ground game to help win back the House, expand our majority in the Senate, and re-elect President Trump in 2020.”

These are just the latest numbers in a very successful year for GOP donations. The committee reported that it — along with the Trump campaign — had pulled in $125 million during the third quarter, bringing cash on hand to $158 million.

In fact, President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign says it pulled in almost $25 million in the 24 hours after formally announcing his re-election in June and then $15 million in small donations in the three days after Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced impeachment efforts against him in September.

Meanwhile, the DNC has consistently lagged behind its Republican counterpart for all of 2019 and has even had a hard time matching its donation numbers from the previous presidential election cycle.

Furthermore, the Democratic Party’s money troubles could get even worse, depending on who wins its 2020 presidential primary. Last month, CNBC reported that Democratic Wall Street donors may sit out or support Trump in 2020 if Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. — who has pulled ahead of former Vice President Joe Biden in some recent polls — gets the party’s nomination. “You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump,’” one executive told the outlet.

Mitt Romney Attacks President Trump over Recent Remarks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, took a series of shots at President Trump in an interview that aired Sunday, saying that some of the president’s rhetoric appealed to racism and claiming that under his leadership, the U.S. was abandoning allied Kurdish fighters in Syria.

Romney, who said he wrote in his wife, Ann, when he voted in 2016, told “Axios on HBO,” “The places where I would be most critical of the president would be in matters that were divisive, that appeared to be appealing to racism or misogyny, and those are the kinds of things I think that have been most, most harmful long term to the foundation of America’s virtuous character.” . . .

Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, has become one of the loudest voices on the right to condemn Trump openly. . .

He added in the interview: “People will recognize that character really is important in our leaders and that it’s important for our leaders to do things that unify us, that welcome people who come here legally as immigrants, that in no way signal to anybody in America that they’re less of an American because of where they came from or their sexual orientation or their race or their religion.” . . .

“Well, clearly, the world watches and people who potentially could be our allies at a critical time say perhaps the U.S. won’t stay with us. Perhaps they’ll cut and run if they think it’s in their best interest. And, walking away from the Kurds in a corner of Syria at a critical time when the troops coming from Turkey are intent upon doing them harm is something which I think would be a very dark spot in American history.” (Read more from “Mitt Romney Attacks President Trump over Recent Remarks” HERE)

Trump Resort Will No Longer Host G7 Summit

President Trump announced Saturday night that the Trump National Doral in Miami will no longer host the G7 summit in 2020. The White House has defended the decision to hold the summit at the Trump National Doral in Miami in recent days.

On Twitter, the president announced the decision to remove his own resort from consideration, despite stating previously that he was willing to host the summit at no profit for the resort, and possibly at no cost to the United States.

Hollywood Leftist Shares Gruesome Cartoon of Pelosi Impaling and Killing Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Saturday, Barbara Streisand posted a gruesome cartoon on Twitter showing a bloody President Trump impaled by the stiletto heel of the shoe of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. . .

Streisand posted several other bizarre tweets, including one showing Trump crushed under a giant peach.

“One may argue about a narrow or broad impeachment resolution but Trump has committed multiple impeachable acts,” she wrote, linking to a New York magazine article. . .

The violent cartoons came as a clothing company posted a billboard in New York City’s Times Square showing Trump being hog-tied by a woman clad in the company’s athletic wear. . .

Donald Trump Jr. blasted the billboard, saying, “Hey @NYTimes and MSM. Since you had time to thoroughly cover a stupid and tasteless meme seen by 8 people with incredible outrage, I figured you should dedicate the same time and outrage to THIS BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE you hypocrites!”

WATCH: Trump Brands Romney a ‘Democrat Secret Asset’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump slammed Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) as a “Democrat secret asset” who attempted to “infiltrate” his administration as secretary of state following the 2016 election in a video shared to Twitter Friday evening.

In the one-minute video, the narrator states Romney’s cover was “blown,” and he was “exposed by news reports as a Democrat secret asset.” The video then shows highlights of the Utah Republican’s 2012 presidential campaign defeat, following by clips of the president’s successful bid in 2016. President-Elect Trump briefly considered Romney for the role of secretary of state, but ultimatly selected Exxon Mobile CEO Rex Tillerson for the high-profile post.

The video’s release comes as Romney, a longtime Trump critic, has criticized the president’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria and his suggestion for China and Ukraine to investigate allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. . .

Trump tweeted:

“I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY.
