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)

‘Sickened’ Romney Attacks President Trump Over Mueller Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Friday declared he is “sickened” by the conduct of President Donald Trump and his aides as described in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. . .

Romney’s blistering criticism following the Mueller report’s release Thursday morning by the Department of Justice. The special counsel specified his team did not find any evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 election. . .

The special counsel’s findings detailed how Trump campaign members heard in advance about a WikiLeaks release of emails that Russian intelligence obtained from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. The report states that while investigators found communications between Trump campaign aides and Russians, “the investigation did not establish that the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

Further, Romney said he was “appalled” that Trump campaign members were open to receiving aid from the Russian government. “I am 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,” he said.

Liar Elizabeth Warren Pushes for Trump’s Impeachment Following Mueller Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Friday urged Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump, suggesting that the newly released Mueller report had laid out the groundwork for Congress to act.

In a series of tweets, the presidential hopeful cited the report as evidence of obstruction of justice and collusion, adding that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had “put the next step in the hands of Congress.” . . .

Warren went on to cite the report, which was released in full, with redactions, on Thursday. In it, Mueller says that “Congress has the authority to prohibit a president’s corrupt use of his authority.” . . .

Mueller’s report was released into Washington’s partisan scrum Thursday morning. It showed investigators did not find evidence of collusion between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russia – a conclusion reiterated by Attorney General Bill Barr last month and again in the run-up to the document release.

Warren went a step further on Friday with her insistence that congressmen “do their constitutional duty.” (Read more from “Liar Elizabeth Warren Pushes for Trump’s Impeachment Following Mueller Report” HERE)

The Mueller Report Was Pretty Much Just a Taxpayer-Funded Opposition Research Project

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Robert Mueller investigation is over. The special counsel has submitted his report. Attorney General William Barr released the report. Yes, it’s been redacted because there’s grand jury testimony in there. It was not out of the ordinary. There was no cover-up. The Democrats just lost. The liberal media lost. You all suck. It’s a great day. No collusion. No obstruction. Eat it, Lefties. Eat it! In fact, the report was quite clear that there was zero evidence to suggest that the Kremlin and the Trump campaign colluded during the 2016 election. There was no conspiracy either. On the obstruction charges, they looked into ten incidents and couldn’t come to a conclusion. There’s insufficient evidence.

It may seem like ages ago, but Hillary Clinton’s funding of the Steele Dossier is what really fanned the flames of this whole mess. Yes, Democrats and the Clinton campaign funded ex-MI6 spook Christopher Steele’s opposition research project that was allegedly used to obtain a FISA spy warrant against Carter Page, who was Trump’s former foreign policy adviser. It most certainly was not vetted. Yet, that’s whole other scandal entirely.

This is all part of the same operation: get Trump. With the Mueller investigation, it was a $50 million opposition research project that the Left hoped would prove collusion. Hoped would provide Democrats with the ammunition they needed to provide the groundwork for impeachment. And hope that it would remove Trump from office for the mere sin of beating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. So, former FBI director, Mueller, takes over the bureau’s original counterintelligence probe once James Comey was fired and staffed it, partisan Democrats. After 2,800 subpoenas, 500 witness interviews, and 500 search warrants executed, nothing of that nature materialized.
