GOP Rep. Chip Roy Urges President Trump to Go Nuclear and Defy the Courts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, on Wednesday called for President Trump to defy nationwide injunctions imposed by federal courts on his immigration policies and secure the border.

Roy (Liberty Score A, 100%) was speaking on BlazeTV’s “Steve Deace Show” when he said it’s time for a “Jacksonian moment” from President Trump.

“You’ve talked about the court challenges this administration faces virtually any time it tries to honor any of its campaign pledges. What legal advice would you give them? At what point … would you advise them to stop taking [nationwide] injunctions and all the rest of this seriously?” host Steve Deace asked.

“I would tell the president to do that now. The time is now,” Roy responded. “We need a Jacksonian moment where the president of the United States looks at the courts and says, ‘you enforce that law.’”

President Andrew Jackson is famously attributed with responding to a Supreme Court opinion he had no intention of abiding by, saying, “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” Roy wants Trump to have the same attitude toward nationwide injunctions against his border policies.

Roy said the nationwide injunctions imposed by federal courts have prevented the Trump administration from securing the border. He cited the example of the 9th Circuit Court blocking Trump’s policy if having asylum-seekers wait for their cases to be processed in Mexico instead of waiting in the United States, where many illegal aliens have disappeared before their day in court.

Roy suggested that if that policy were allowed to go into effect, migrants would be disincentivized from attempting the dangerous journey across the Rio Grande river into the United States, knowing that they will be turned around after claiming asylum.

“People would have to go to the ports of entry, and then perhaps that man and that child would still be alive today,” Roy said, referring to the viral photo of a migrant father and his toddler daughter washed up dead on the shore of the Rio Grande river.

Federal judges have also issued nationwide injunctions blocking the Trump administraiton’s moratorium on travel to and from Middle East countries with terrorist activity, blocking Trump’s plan to give federal grants to police who enforce immigration laws, and blocking Trump administration policies rolling back Obamacare’s contraception rule and defunding doctors who perform abortions.

“This is a perpetual problem and at some point a president of the United States is going to have to look at the court and tell that court to pound sand when it is stepping over the ability of the American people to govern ourselves,” Roy said. “The president has the basic constitutional duty to secure the border of the United States and it’s absurd that we’re bowing down to the whims of judges and allowing that to create our policy so that now people are dying and getting harmed because we can’t actually do our job to secure the border.” (For more from the author of “Gop Rep.

Mueller Agreeing to Rehash This Russia Collusion Myth Adds More to the Charge That It Was All a Hit Job

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yeah, maybe we shouldn’t be shocked about former Special Counsel Robert Mueller testifying again, but alas, here we are. From Mueller all but firing the ‘House Democrats impeach Trump’ flare at his closing presser in May to Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) being a total snot with Hope Hicks, even the most partisan Democrat would be hard pressed to defend this circus. It’s a witch-hunt. And Hicks’ appalling treatment by House Democrats all but proves that they’re out to get Trump. Again, we all knew this. We’ve known this for some time, but these trips down memory lane should only remind us to vote come November 2020. In July, this media myth is about to enter a new phase, as Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress over collusion delusion (via NYT):

Robert S. Mueller III, the former special counsel, has agreed to testify in public before Congress next month about his investigation into Russia’s election interference and possible obstruction of justice by President Trump, House Democrats announced on Tuesday night.

Coming nearly three months after the release of Mr. Mueller’s report, two back-to-back hearings on July 17 before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees promise to be among the most closely watched spectacles of Mr. Trump’s presidency. They have the power to potentially reshape the political landscape around his re-election campaign and a possible impeachment inquiry by the Democrat-controlled House.

The report has been dropped. It exonerates Trump on collusion and leaves it open for interpretation if he obstructed justice. The only evidence that says he did comes from the mouths of CNN’s commentator corps that’s insufferably liberal; most are former Obama officials and belief is not evidence. Sean Davis of The Federalist wrote two good posts that just fillets Mueller, the Obama DOJ, and this whole investigation, namely that the report shows that the special counsel and his army of Clinton-ite lawyers tried very hard to prove collusion, but couldn’t. The closing presser added more to the notion that this was a political hit job, and how this return to Congress is the cherry on top. So, how should the GOP fight back?

Woman Who Claimed Trump Raped Her Backtracks, Makes Insane Statement Even CNN Can’t Handle

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Last night during an interview with CNN, Carroll backtracked her claims and then made an insane statement about rape.

“You don’t feel like a victim?” Cooper asked.

“I was not thrown on the ground and ravished, which, the word ‘rape’ carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sex…this was not sexual,” Carroll said.

“I think most people think of rape, it is a violent assault,” Cooper responded.

“I think most people think of rape as sexy,” Carroll said. “Think of the fantasies.”

Trump Denies Raping Author E Jean Carroll

By The Independent. Donald Trump has denied raping the author E Jean Carroll, the latest woman to accuse him of sexual assault, partly on the basis that “she’s not my type”.

Carroll appeared on CNN on Monday to provide further details of the alleged mid-1990s incident in which she claims Mr Trump cornered her in a dressing room, forced her up against a wall and raped her. . .

Speaking to American publication The Hill in the Oval Office, the US president said Carroll was “totally lying”. He added: “I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?

“I don’t know anything about her,” he said, referring to Carroll. In previous interviews he has suggested he never met the author, until it emerged the pair have been pictured together. “I know nothing about this woman. I know nothing about her. She is – it’s just a terrible thing that people can make statements like that.” (Read more from “Trump Denies Raping Author E Jean Carroll” HERE)

Talk Show Host: There Are over 100,000 Concentration Camps in Nearly Every State

/0 Comments/in , /by

Leftist Rosie O’Donnell defended socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) false claim that the Trump administration is operating concentration camps on the southern border during an interview on Monday night and claimed without evidence that there are “over 100,000” concentration camps “in nearly every state.”

NewsBusters’ Kyle Drennen reported that O’Donnell made the remarks while appearing on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”

“Rosie, you’re going to be doing a vigil called Lights for Liberty, July 12th, demanding an end to the detention camps,” Cohen said.

“Yeah, the concentration camps, even though there’s lots of controversy about the word,” O’Donnell responded. “But actually, legitimate scholars who study genocide say, yes, these are, in fact, the criteria for concentration camps, they meet them.”

“There are over 100,000 camps in nearly every state,” O’Donnell continued. “There’s between 10,000 and 13,000 children, that could fill Radio City Music Hall twice. That’s how many children unaccompanied alone in these camps.”

Iran Calls Trump ‘Mentally Retarded.’ Trump Gives Them a Friendly Reminder.

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, after Iran’s president Hassan Rouhani attacked President Trump, saying the White House’s actions show that Trump is “mentally retarded,” Trump fired back with a series of tweets warning Iran that if they attack anything American, that action would be met with “great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!”

Trump’s series of tweets slammed the Iranian regime, warning it not to mess with American power, as he wrote, “Iran leadership doesn’t understand the words “nice” or “compassion,” they never have. Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world, with 1.5 Trillion Dollars invested over the last two years alone.”

HILARIOUS: Trump Reveals the Dem Candidate He’d Like to Face in 2020

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. President Trump said that he would prefer to run against former Vice President Joe Biden than have to face another campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Trump, who has continued to launch criticisms at Clinton even after defeating her in the 2016 presidential race, offered rare praise of the former secretary of state while once again labeling Biden as “sleepy.” . . .

This is not the first time Trump has claimed that he would prefer running against Biden – who consistently leads a crowded Democratic field and has enjoyed success in head-to-head polls against Trump – to other candidates in 2020.

“I’d rather run against, I think, Biden than anybody,” Trump said earlier this month. “I think he’s the weakest mentally and I like running against people that are weak mentally … The other ones have much more energy.” (Read more from “Trump Reveals the Dem Candidate He’d Like to Face in 2020” HERE)

Biden Vows to Repeal Trump Tax Cuts on ‘Day One’ If He Captures White House

By Fox News. Former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden promised Saturday that on “Day One” of a Biden presidency he would repeal President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and close $500 billion on tax loopholes.

Speaking at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention, Biden said that “Income inequities are at an all-time high and made worse by Trump’s tax cuts and enormous giveaways to the top one-tenth of the 1 percent … and it’s time we start to reward work over wealth.”

Outlining his policy proposals in this visit to the early primary state, Biden said the GOP-backed tax cuts, which have been heavily criticized in some quarters as beneficial only to the rich, have no socially redeeming value. He vowed to “put that money to good use.”

Biden promised that, among other things, residual funds from the tax break would be put toward initiatives such as green energy research and development, two-year college tuition grants and a public-option health insurance plan.

Popular Knitting Site Bans All Trump Supporters: ‘Undeniably Support for White Supremacy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ravelry, a company that describes itself as a community of knitters and crocheters, announced Sunday that its website is erasing President Trump — banning any and all expressions of support for the duly elected president of the United States.

Not being a crafter myself, I had never heard of Ravelry—a site that boasts 8 million users. The announcement was brought to my attention by a reader who uses the site. “Not even crafting is safe,” she lamented in an email to PJM. . .

According to an announcement at Ravelry’s website, “We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.” The company says the ban was inspired by a policy at role-playing site RPG.net. (Something similar happened at SQLite, the world’s largest database engine, after SJWs demanded a code of conduct. Founder Richard Hipp responded by posting “The Rule of St. Benedict,” sparking outrage.)

The ban includes “support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content.” The company assures users that if they get booted from the site for supporting Trump, “we will make sure that you have access to your data.” How good of them.

The reason for the ban, according to Ravelry, is that “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.” (Read more from “Popular Knitting Site Bans All Trump Supporters: ‘Undeniably Support for White Supremacy'” HERE)

WEIRD: Trump Rape Accuser Says She Wishes She’d Asked for His Tax Returns During ‘Attack’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Author and former New York City gossip columnist E. Jean Carroll, who, earlier this week, accused President Donald Trump of attempting to rape her in a changing room at Bergdorf Goodman’s department store in the mid-1990s, told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell that she wished she’d asked for Trump’s tax returns during the alleged sexual assault.

Carroll has been making the rounds of prime time television talk shows since revealing, in an interview with New York Magazine, that the now-president attacked her after the pair met in a chance encounter while shopping at Bergdorf Goodman’s in New York City. Carroll says Trump urged her to try on some lingerie before pushing her into a changing room, pinning her arms to her sides, and sexually assaulting her. Carroll claims she was able to fight Trump off and escape.

The allegation is being used as a teaser for Carroll’s forthcoming book on the “hideous” men she encountered while working as a gossip columnist and moving among New York City’s rich and famous, according to KTLA. She also reportedly claims to have been assaulted by CBS head Les Moonves.

Both men have emphatically denied Carroll’s claims. Trump said in a statement late last week that he could not recall ever meeting Carroll, and the only evidence presented that he may have greeted the former gossip columnist at some point was a candid photo taken of Trump and Carroll, both with dates, at a society event in the mid-1990s. . . .

Not only is the claim just … weird … but it seems odd to include a jab at Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns — a purely political issue that has surfaced only in the last several years as Democrats try to get a handle on whether Trump suffered financially in the years before declaring his run for president, and whether his presidency has been unduly influenced by outside financial factors — in a narrative about an alleged traumatic attack from the 1990s.

‘TRUMP 4EVA’: Trump Releases Hilarious Video. Internet Explodes; Trump Reveals Thoughts on Iran

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. President Donald Trump released a hilarious video on his Twitter account on Friday that essentially declared himself to be president forever, in what is a giant troll aimed at the media and the Democratic Party.

The video features a cover from TIME Magazine that shows Trump campaign yard signs lasting well beyond 2020. The video then alters the cover to show the campaign campaign yard signs extending thousands of years into the future while “In the Hall of the Mountain King” from Peer Gynt, by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg plays in the background. . .

The video may be in response to Politico report today that once again speculated that Trump may not leave office if he loses in the 2020 election.

Alleged journalists, leftists, and members of the Democratic Party freaked out in response to the video.

Trump: I don’t want to go to war with Iran

By USA Today. President Donald Trump said Friday he does not want to go to war with Iran, but warned that there will be “obliteration like you’ve never seen before” if a conflict does arise.

“I’m not looking to do that,” he said of going to war during an excerpt of an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd for “Meet the Press” released Friday.

In the same sit-down, the president also said he is willing to talk with Iran without any preconditions.

Here’s What Trump Thinks About Impeachment Calls

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said it would be unfair of Democrats to try to impeach him, because he’s done nothing wrong—but if they do impeach, they’re making his 2020 win that much easier, he told NBC News.

Trump sat down for a one-on-one interview with “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, where they discussed a variety of issues including potential impeachment, the Mueller report, and tensions with Iran.

“Why do you think Nancy Pelosi has held off her impeachment caucus,” Todd asked Trump.

“Because I think she feels that I will win much easier, and I’ve been told that by many people,” Trump replied. . .

“I think I win the election easier, but, you know, I’m not sure that I like having it,” Trump said. “Look, I did nothing wrong. I was spied on. What they did to me was illegal. It was illegal on the other side. I did nothing wrong. So, impeachment is a very unfair thing, because nothing that I did was wrong. And if you look at the Mueller report, there was no collusion.” (Read more from “Here’s What Trump Thinks About Impeachment Calls” HERE)
