Trump Donor Fears for Safety After Appearing on Castro’s List

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trump donors on Rep. Joaquin Castro’s (D-TX) list are still facing harassment due to the lawmaker’s striking decision to publicly shame them on Twitter, with one donor fearing for the safety of his employees.

Last week, the Texas lawmaker – who also chairs his brother’s presidential campaign – posted the names and employers of 44 San Antonio residents who donated the maximum amount to President Trump’s re-election campaign.

“Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump,” Castro wrote, accusing the Trump donors of “fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’”

The backlash was swift, with individuals on both sides of the political aisle noting that Castro’s list seemed to be a call for targeted harassment. Castro and his brother Julián have defended the controversial move, arguing that the information was readily public. . .

Precision Pipe Rentals owner Justin Herricks, who was featured on the list, said that he worries for the safety of his employees, as his company has experienced a flood of harassing messages and phone calls. People are calling him a “racist piece of s***,” according to the Hill. (Read more from “Trump Donor Fears for Safety After Appearing on Castro’s List” HERE)

Biden Explodes When Confronted on Lying About Trump. Video Proves Biden Wrong.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden doubled down Thursday on a lie that he has repeatedly spread despite being called out on it numerous times and despite video evidence that clearly debunks his claim.

While Biden was campaigning at the “Political Soapbox” at the Iowa State Fair, Breitbart’s Joel Pollak confronted him over his repeated false claim that Trump called neo-Nazis and white nationalists “very fine people” in response to Charlottesville.

“Mr. Vice President are you aware that you are misquoting Donald Trump in Charlottesville?” Pollack asked Biden. “He never called neo-Nazis ‘very fine people.'”

“No, he called all those folks who walked out of that — they were neo-Nazis,” Biden said as he became visibly angry. “Shouting hate, their veins bulging.” . . .

“No, he did not. He said, he walked out, and he said — let’s get this straight,” Biden falsely claimed. “He said there were ‘very fine people’ in both groups. They’re chanting antisemitic slogans, carrying flags.”

MSNBC Guest Calls for Literal Mob of Pitchforks and Torches Outside Trump Donor’s Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

Earlier this week Rep. Joaquin Castro in Texas “named and shamed” San Antonio supporters of President Donald J. Trump in what he says was an effort to get these Americans to think twice before being “complicit in white supremacy.” Anybody with common sense understood the move was dangerous, especially coming from a public official, as it could paint a target on these individuals’ backs regardless if the information was already public or not. On MSNBC Thursday night, guest Elie Mystal took the hysteria over supporting President Trump one step further, saying that protesters should form literal mobs outside the SoulCycle and Equinox chairman’s home in the Hamptons due to his support for the commander-in-chief.

“People of color are already targeted under this administration,” Mystal said Thursday night regarding Rep. Castro’s actions. “I have no problem with shining the light back on the donors who fund this kind of racialized hate.”

“I mean I go further, I want pitchforks and torches outside [Stephen Ross’] house in the Hamptons,” Mystal continued. “I’ve been to the Hamptons, it’s very nice. There’s no reason why it has to be. There’s no reason he should be able to have a nice little party. There’s no reason why people shouldn’t be able to be outside of his house and making their voices peacefully understood.” . . .

“Demonstrating, totally…There have been peaceful protests outside Mitch McConnell’s house,” Hayes added. “And I imagine there will be peaceful protests outside of this…It is all speech, right? Peaceful protest. The right to the assembly under the First Amendment.” (Read more from “MSNBC Guest Calls for Literal Mob of Pitchforks and Torches Outside Trump Donor’s Home” HERE)

Is Trump Headed for a Post-Shooting Gun Control Fight with the NRA?

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump talked up the prospect of new background check legislation Friday morning but still says that he wants gun rights groups like the NRA to have a say.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, the president said that “we need intelligent background checks,” and that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is “totally on board” with the issue. Two days earlier, Trump discussed the potential to “bring up background checks like we’ve never had before.”

The day before, McConnell said on a Kentucky radio program that gun control will be “one of the front and center issues” when the Senate comes back to Washington from summer break in September. “What we can’t do is fail to pass something,” the senator also said. “The urgency of this is not lost on any of us.”

However, Trump also said in a tweet earlier that morning that he wants to make sure to get input from gun rights groups like the National Rifle Association.

“Serious discussions are taking place between House and Senate leadership on meaningful Background Checks,” the president tweeted. “I have also been speaking to the NRA, and others, so that their very strong views can be fully represented and respected.”

The NRA, however, came out against new background check laws the day before, noting more background checks wouldn’t have prevented either suspect in the recent Dayton and El Paso shootings from obtaining firearms.

Trump Lashes out at Gay Shepard Smith, Says Fake News CNN Is Better, OANN Is Best

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump on Wednesday renewed his criticism of Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, arguing that “Fake News CNN is better” and saying that he now tunes in to the conservative news outlet One America News Network whenever he gets the chance.

“Watching Fake News CNN is better than watching Shepard Smith, the lowest rated show on @FoxNews,” Trump tweeted on a day when he visited first responders and survivors of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. “Actually, whenever possible, I turn to [One America News Network]!”

It was not immediately clear what Trump’s tweet — which came during Smith’s daily program and while Trump was aboard Air Force One to El Paso — was referencing. . .

Trump has repeatedly denounced the media during his presidency, often referring to it as “fake news” and the “enemy of the people.” But he has consistently praised Fox News and network hosts such as Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. He has taken a different view of Smith, though. . .

Smith has consistently taken a critical view of Trump during his two-plus years in the White House. Among other things, he fact-checked Trump’s prime-time address on border security in January during his daily news program.

Only Liberals Do This: Mom Might Cut off Her Kids’ Contact With In-Laws Because They Support Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .There’s a disturbing number of families that are nuking their relationships over politics, despite the fact that Republicans and Democrats have been elected and re-elected president of the United States for years. The point is, I’m sure a lot of people were disappointed with either of those outcomes in the long list of elections we’ve had—and yet, I don’t remember hearing families going berserk over George W. Bush winning—twice.

Deep down, yes, there’s more that unites us as a country, but it’s the Left who is just unwilling to discuss that. They want a divorce. And in an era where Left and Right don’t understand one another, I guess that’s where it can become easier to sever ties with your family members over a political disagreement. Let’s take this Huffington Post guest writer who says that her uber-Catholic, pro-Trump in-laws might cause her to cut her kids’ ties with their grandparents (via Huffington Post):

. . .Actually, it isn’t just racism that muddies the water in my relationship with my in-laws. It’s sexism and homophobia, too. Sometimes, it’s even veiled anti-Semitism. (Note to non-Jews everywhere: Telling a Jewish person how much you love Jewish people is, on its face, a message of marginalization.) My father-in-law once had to leave the room when two men kissed on TV. “Disgusting,” he whispered under his breath, within earshot of my son.

[…]

Their hatred is expanding, and it’s expanding quickly. These days, it manifests itself through conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons, antifa and Black Lives Matter. My in-laws oppose abortion in any and all circumstances, but they appear unbothered by the idea of migrant kids in cages at the country’s border. The media sources they ingest, of course, are intentionally dishonest, and our conversations with them reveal a view of the world that’s disturbingly removed from reality.

[…]

My own family, who long ago branded me a hothead, advised me to do no more than limit the contact my children have with their grandparents. How much damage could be done in small doses? they posited. That’s not really a solution, of course; it’s more or less a way of continuing to avoid the problem. Our friends have been mostly noncommittal. Mostly people shake their heads sympathetically or pat my shoulder. They don’t know what to say. What advice would I give to someone else, after all? What advice would I offer myself? Would it be to cut all ties? And how does one even go about doing that?

Threat? Rep Warns Potential Trump Donors They’d Better ‘Think Twice’ Before Supporting the President

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) doubled down Wednesday on his decision to doxx 44 San Antonio area Trump donors on Twitter, saying it was simply a “lament” that will hopefully lead Trump supporters (and others around the country) to “think twice” about donating to the president’s reelection campaign. . .

In his tweet Monday night, Castro wrote: “Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump — the owner of @BillMillerBarBQ, owner of the Historic Pearl, realtor Phyllis Browning, etc. Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’”

Although Castro claimed on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that his tweet was merely a “lament” to address his disappointment that these San Antonians were funding a campaign of hate, most on the right believe its real purpose was to disseminate an enemies list for leftists inside and outside of government to harass and bully the president’s donors.

. . .

At this point, Castro, while using eliminationist rhetoric meant to demonize President Trump and his supporters, gave the game away.

“And I hope that these donors in San Antonio and donors throughout the country, unless you support the white nationalism and racism Donald Trump is paying for and fueling, then I hope you as a person of good conscience will think twice about contributing to his campaign,” he explained.

Trump Sounds off on Dayton Mayor for ‘Misrepresenting’ Their Meeting

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump visited the community of Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday to pay his respects in the aftermath of Sunday’s tragic shooting, in which nine people were murdered. He visited with patients at the Miami Valley Hospital and met with lawmakers like Sen. Sherrod Brown and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley. Although both leaders had hesitated about welcoming him, they agreed it was best they meet with him – whether for the sake of unity, or an opportunity to confront him about some next step action items.

Almost as soon as Trump was out of their sight, however, the Democrats gave a press conference about what took place inside the hospital. Whaley and Brown noted that Trump had been “received well” by patients and staff, but they also said that they urged the president to act on gun control. Brown specifically said he tried to convince Trump to get Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to reconvene Congress so they can vote on some gun control measures. He also supposedly asked Trump not to touch Obamacare or to cut Medicaid, because the program is necessary when tackling mental health issues. Brown then proceeded to attack Republicans as “doing the bidding of the NRA.”

The president was appalled that the pair had “misrepresented” what had taken place in Dayton.

But White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham was similarly offended by the Democrats’ narrative, particularly what they had not said – that the shooting victims and hospital staff were “happy” to see the president.

WATCH: Trump Gave a Very Good Answer When Asked Who’s to Blame for Dayton Shooting

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Before President Trump boarded his plane to Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas on Wednesday to meet with communities in mourning, he spoke with reporters on the White House lawn. The press particularly wanted to know what he thought of his accusers tying his rhetoric to the shooting in El Paso. The suspect used language similar to that of Trump’s immigration remarks in his online manifesto, according to some.

“My critics are political people,” Trump said. “They’re trying to make points. In many cases, they are running for president and they’re very low in the polls.”

He couldn’t be more right if he’s talking about presidential candidates Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, both of whom are struggling to gain even single digit support. As representatives of last weekend’s targeted states, they’ve been two of the most vocal critics of Trump since the shootings. O’Rourke has been especially condemnatory, saying on Monday that Trump has been “reveling in the hatred and the racism” in the country. He’s thrown in a few expletives too. The president told him to “be quiet,” but other than that he hasn’t said much of the critique. . .

In fact, when discussing the shooting in Dayton, which was orchestrated by a young man who claimed to be a “leftist,” Trump said he didn’t blame Democrats for the bloodshed. He blamed “sick people.”

Trump Supporters Clean up West Baltimore and the Liberal Media Are Irritated (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, a group of Trump supporters led by conservative activist Scott Presler went to West Baltimore for a massive clean-up operation following tweets sent by President Donald Trump highlighting the dire conditions in the area.

While the residents were thankful for the overhaul — well over 100 volunteers came together to remove 12 tons of trash, according to Presler — the liberal media were, uh, irritated. The media attacked the activist as an “extremist,” questioned his motives, and scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”

Here are some of the photos and videos from the clean-up effort:
