Gun-Grabber Eric Swalwell Attempts to Put CRAZY Blame on Trump for Shooting

/2 Comments/in , /by

By PJ Media. Rep. Eric Swalwell blasted President Trump for sending “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the Poway, Calif., Chabad synagogue shooting on Saturday, suggesting that the president’s inaction on gun control measures was to blame for the attack. Swalwell, a Democratic presidential candidate, took issue with a tweet from the president.

“Thoughts and prayers to all of those affected by the shooting at the Synagogue in Poway, California,” the president tweeted. “God bless you all. Suspect apprehended. Law enforcement did outstanding job. Thank you!”

For the record, Trump didn’t actually say that. What he did say is this: “Far-left radicals in Congress want to take away your voice, your jobs, your rights, and they especially want to take away your guns. You know that. They want to take away your guns.” Which is absolutely true. Swalwell, you may recall, suggested that if he’s elected president he would consider using the country’s nuclear arsenal to force law-abiding gun owners to turn in their firearms.

Swalwell called in to CNN on Saturday to spread around some more blame. “If you really start to think about it, [such an attack] is not hard to imagine at all. We’re in a country where we have unrestricted weaponry and we have growing hate groups, where we see a failure of leadership to denounce them, and that is a deadly combination.” (Read more from “Gun-Grabber Eric Swalwell Attempts to Put CRAZY Blame on Trump for Shooting” HERE)

Heartbreaking: Family Injured in California Synagogue Attack Had Fled Israel to Escape Gaza Rocket Attacks

By PJ Media. On Saturday, the final day of Passover, a lone gunman entered a Chabad synagogue in Poway, Calif., and opened fire, killing one woman and injuring three other worshippers. A relative of two of the victims told reporters that the family had moved to San Diego to escape the constant rocket attacks coming from Gaza.

John Earnest, 19, has been identified as the shooter who fired on worshippers at Chabad of Poway. 60-year-old Lori Kilbert Kaye was killed in the attack, and Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein was shot in the hand. Noya Dahan, 8, and her uncle, Almog Peretz, 31, both of whom had recently moved to the U.S. from Israel, were also injured. All three have been released from the hospital after being treated for their injuries. . .

“We came from fire to fire,” said Israel Dahan, Noya’s father, who moved his family from Sderot, near the Gaza border, to the San Diego area after their home was hit several times by rockets resulting in injuries. Dahan said the family’s new home in the U.S. has also been targeted by anti-Semites who painted swastikas on the walls.

“This is sad, but I am originally from Sderot, so we know a bit about running from the Kassam rockets,” Peretz, who was shot in the leg, told Israel’s Channel 12 from the hospital.

Revealed: This Is the Trump Team’s Campaign Strategy Heading Into 2020

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, discussed the team’s 2020 strategy on Sunday’s episode of “Face the Nation.”

During the discussion, Parscale revealed a few key battleground states that they’re targeting. The goal is simple: to win the same states they won during 2016 but expand to even more states. . .

“I can go across America and say, ‘hey, here is a voter in Minnesota that if I know if I get, you know, 26,000 of these perfect people to show up that didn’t show up last time, I can flip that state.’ So what I do, go find them now,” Parscale explained. “We are spending millions of dollars a month, light years ahead of any campaign in history to build a foundation of who we need to market to, what we need to understand, what we need to say to them and how exactly to deliver to them.” . . .

“There are some key states, obviously, we have to go back and win Michigan again, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, we plan on also being in Minnesota very soon. I think New Mexico is in play in 2020,” Parscale said. “I think New Hampshire. I think we continue to grow the map. I think Nevada, you know, even Colorado. And so those are states we did not win in 2016, I think are open for 2020.”

Although the Trump campaign plans to focus heavily on digital advertising and social media, the ground game, like rallies and campaign events, are still heavily in play.

This Will Disappoint Dems: Poll Reveals How Many Americans Actually Support Trump’s Impeachment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. A new poll shows support for impeaching President Donald Trump has sunk to a new low following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on now-debunk collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post national survey released Friday, support for impeachment dropped to 37, down from 40 percent in January. Support of the president’s ouster hit a survey high of 49 percent in August. Support rose for the measure to 62 percent among Democrats, yet tumbled 36 percent with independents. Only 10 percent of Republicans support it.

The survey comes after the Department of Justice released a redacted version of the Mueller report earlier this month, which concluded the Trump campaign did not collude or conspire with the Kremlin. Based on the special counsel’s findings, Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined President Trump did not obstruct justice. Barr offered Congressional leaders an opportunity to view certain redacted exceptions unredacted — an offer rebuffed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and fellow top House Democrats. Instead, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler opted to subpoena the full report and its underlying evidence. Barr is also slated to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next Thursday on Mueller’s findings.

A Hill-HarrisX poll released this week shows a majority of respondents believe Barr’s summary last month of the Mueller report was largely accurate. According to The Hill: “Fifty-four percent said they believed the summary was “largely accurate,” while 46 percent said it was “largely inaccurate.”” (Read more from “Poll Reveals How Many Americans Support Trump’s Impeachment” HERE)

Lindsey Graham Once Said President Could Be Impeached for Not Complying With Congressional Oversight

By Newsweek. Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump’s, once said that a president’s refusal to comply with congressional oversight was an impeachable offense.

In a video unearthed from December 1998 circulating on Twitter on Friday, the South Carolina legislator passionately states that Richard Nixon could have been impeached for failing to comply with subpoenas from Congress.

“The day Richard Nixon failed to answer that subpoena is the day he was subject to impeachment because he took the power from Congress over the impeachment process away from Congress, and he became the judge and jury,” Graham said two decades ago.

The Democrats’ Thirst for Power Is Dividing America

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Democrats’ thirst for power is a root cause of the deep political division in America. In every major issue facing our country, Democrats seek to inflict as much damage on President Trump as possible in order to boost their political prospects in the 2020 elections. The Democrat goal is to destroy President Trump at all costs, even if the consequence of a polarized America achieves Russian President Vladimir’s objective.

The reaction to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report is a perfect example of twisting the findings as the means to the Democrat political end. It was impeach President Trump, Russia collusion, and obstruction of justice before the Mueller report was released, and it remains impeach President Trump, Russia collusion, and obstruction of justice after the release of the Mueller report.

In the eyes of Democrats, the Mueller report was a vehicle for manipulation to achieve maximum political advantage, regardless of the truth. The report on Russian interference in the 2016 election was written by 19 lawyers after information was collected from 2,800 subpoenas and 500 witnesses, at an estimated cost of $31 million.

Democrats aren’t giving up on the Russia collusion theory even though the report slammed the door on their narrative that the president and his campaign worked with Russia to ensure then-candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. Democrats are also clinging to the fact that Mueller did not take a position on whether President Trump obstructed justice, which is another avenue to damage the president through additional investigations and possible impeachment.

The Mueller report had zero impact on Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters believed there was collusion with Russia before Mueller’s report, and its findings didn’t change her mind. During an interview on MSNBC, Waters said the information in the Mueller report “on collusion and conspiracy” supported an impeachment effort. Waters was an early advocate for impeaching the president, long before the report.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is also adamant that there is Russia collusion, after the release of the Mueller report.

On “Meet the Press,” Nadler questioned Mueller for not charging Donald Trump Jr. for criminal conspiracy over the Trump Tower meeting, because, according to his analysis, the goal of meeting was to obtain material stolen from Hillary Clinton.

According to The Daily Caller, the meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower was not predicated on getting stolen material but on obtaining damaging information about Clinton’s undertakings with Russia.

The information provided by Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was not stolen documents but opposition research put together by Fusion GPS, and the Mueller report concluded, “Although damaging opposition research is surely valuable to a campaign, it appears that the information ultimately delivered in the meeting was not valuable.”

Despite being wrong about the stolen information accusation, Nadler was successful in promoting anti-Trump propaganda on a national TV broadcast.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, is not giving up on his views about Russia collusion despite the findings of the Mueller report. Schiff previously stated that “there is plenty of evidence of collusion and conspiracy in plain sight,” but qualified his statement by adding it’s the responsibility of Mueller to determine whether a crime was committed.

Now that Mueller has not established a criminal conspiracy with Russia, Schiff is repeating the collusion theory on TV and tweeting about the report to make the president look bad. Schiff is not giving up chasing collusion crime windmills. He plans to use the power of the House Intelligence Committee to continue an investigation surrounding counterintelligence matters in the hope of finding that a foreign power compromised President Trump or anyone associated with the president.

Schiff has also not ruled out impeaching the president for obstruction of justice.

Speaking at the Time 100 Summit, White House senior adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner blamed the Mueller investigation for damaging and dividing the country.

Kushner is correct. The Muller investigation contributed to the nation’s political divide, and the report is only adding fuel to the Democrats’ “destroy President Trump” fire. (For more from the author of “The Democrats’ Thirst for Power Is Dividing America” please click HERE)

Watch: Golan Heights Town to Be Named After President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that he is planning to name a community in the Golan Heights after President Trump, paying homage to the U.S. president’s recent decision to recognize the strategic plateau as Israeli territory.

“All Israelis were deeply moved when President Trump made his historic decision to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights,” Netanyahu said in a statement. . .

The prime minister toured the Golan Heights with his wife Sara and their sons Yair and Avner during the intermediate days of Passover. They visited the ancient synagogue at Kfar Nahum and toured the Gamla Nature Reserve.

Trump made the decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights after “aggressive acts by Iran and terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, in southern Syria continue to make the Golan Heights a potential launching ground for attacks on Israel,” he said in statement in March. . .

Following Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, Transportation Minister Israel Katz announced that a train station leading to the Western Wall would be named after Trump. (Read more from “Golan Heights Town to Be Named After President Trump” HERE)

Netanyahu Wants to Name a Golan Heights Settlement After Trump

By New York Magazine. In late March, President Trump did Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu a solid by recognizing Israel’s sovereignty over the strategically valuable Golan Heights, an area the state has occupied since the Six-Day War of 1967. By acknowledging Israeli authority in the contentious region annexed from Syria, critics claim that Trump effectively campaigned for Netanyahu in the April 9 election. . .

Currently, around 50,000 people live in the area: Jewish settlers are about half of that, with Druze Arabs with Syrian roots making up the rest of the population. As the New York Times notes, over 30 Jewish settlements have been built in the Golan Heights since the ’67 war. Israel intends to settle the region heavily in the next few decades: By 2048, the state intends to build housing that would accommodate 250,000 Israelis.

Trump Orders All Staffers to Boycott White House Correspondents Dinner. Here’s Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was confirmed on Tuesday that President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to boycott the White House Correspondents Association dinner, an event he has skipped the past two years. Trump has made his disdain for the annual dinner known on more than one occasion, calling the event outright “boring” last year. This year, the president plans to hold a 2020 campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the night of the dinner.

“White House Cabinet Secretary Bill McGinley announced that all Trump administration officials are being ordered to boycott the dinner,” The Washington Times reported Tuesday.

A senior official from the administration said Trump “and members of his administration will not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this year. Instead, Saturday evening President Trump will travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin where he will hold a campaign rally.”

“We’re looking forward to an enjoyable evening of celebrating the First Amendment and great journalists past, present, and future,” said WHCA president Olivier Knox in response to the news, according to the Times.

Hosting the event in 2018, raunchy comedian Michelle Wolf took heat for making remarks widely castigated as tasteless and sexist toward White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who was in attendance at the event. “She burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies,” she mocked Sanders, The Daily Wire previously reported.

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Easter Bombings in Sri Lanka

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Islamic State jihadist terror organization (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka that ripped through multiple churches and other public places.

According to a Tuesday morning report at ABC, the jihadist group took ownership of the atrocities via an Arabic statement on its Amaq News agency. Those who carried out the bombings were “among the fighters of the Islamic State,” reads an English translation of the statement from SITE Intelligence Group.

“All that we knew earlier is that there were foreign links and that this could not have been done just locally,” Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told reporters. “There has been training done and a coordination which we [have] not seen earlier.”

While ISIS’ connection to the Easter Sunday bombings has not been confirmed, this is not the first discussion of potential involvement by the organization.

As was reported yesterday, Sri Lankan officials believe that the attacks were carried out by a little-known local jihadist organization called “National Thowheeth Jama’ath,” but a government spokesman said yesterday that officials “do not believe these attacks were carried out by a group of people who were confined to this country.”

Furthermore, an unnamed U.S. official told CNN that the attack was “likely” inspired by the organization, while a known ISIS figure was believed to have been trying to recruit Sri Lankans as far back as 2017.

The death toll of the horrific attacks rose to 310 from 290 on Monday, according to Sri Lankan law enforcement. Additionally, Sri Lankan officials have arrested at least 40 suspects in connection with the bombings, up from 24 people on Monday.

The government has invoked emergency powers to empower law enforcement to respond to the attacks.

President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Wickremesinghe Monday and pledged that the United States would help bring the perpetrators of the attack to justice. (For more from the author of “ISIS Claims Responsibility for Easter Bombings in Sri Lanka” please click HERE)

Trump Orders Crackdown on Illegal Aliens Overstaying Their Visas in U.S.

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is ordering a crackdown on the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who overstay their visas after arriving in the United States wit a presidential memorandum.

On Monday, Trump signed the memorandum, which calls for the State Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to “immediately begin taking all appropriate actions” to reduce the overstay rates for all nonimmigrant visas — that is the more than 415,000 illegal aliens who originally arrived in the U.S. legally but overstayed their visas and have yet to leave.

Specifically, Trump is ordering Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and DHS officials to provide his administration with recommendations within 120 days on how to effectively cut the number of B-1 and B-2 visa overstays from countries that have a visa overstay rate higher than ten percent. . .

The presidential memorandum reads:

Nonimmigrant visa overstay rates are unacceptably high for nationals of certain countries. Aliens must abide by the terms and conditions of their visas for our immigration system to function as intended … individuals who abuse the visa process and decline to abide by the terms and conditions of their visas, including their visa departure dates, undermine the integrity of our immigration system and harm the national interest.

Trump Fires Back at Romney, and He Included a Video

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump fired back at Mitt Romney Saturday after the Utah senator released a statement on Friday sharply criticizing the president’s actions as described in the Mueller report.

“If @MittRomney spent the same energy fighting Barack Obama as he does fighting Donald Trump, he could have won the race (maybe)!” Trump tweeted with a short video that juxtaposed footage of his own 2016 electoral victory over Hillary Clinton with Romney’s 2012 loss to President Barack Obama. . .

“I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President,” [Romney] wrote. “I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia — including information that had been illegally obtained; that none of them acted to inform American law enforcement; and that the campaign chairman was actively promoting Russian interests in Ukraine. Reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders.” (Read more from “Trump Fires Back at Romney, and He Included a Video” HERE)
