Trump Just Added the Worst Possible Name for Dems to SCOTUS List

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .It’s also Democrats’ worst nightmare. If you thought they were freaking out this week over Justice Anthony Kennedy‘s retirement announcement, imagine how they’d react to the Utah senator [Mike Lee] joining the High Court. . .

President Donald Trump has asked his advisers about nominating Lee to replace Kennedy, according to a Bloomberg News report Thursday that cited “three people familiar with the matter.”

Lee’s rock-solid voting record has earned him perfect 100 percent scores from Conservative Review and the Heritage Foundation. In addition, he has the highest lifetime score from the American Conservative Union at 99.43 percent.

The senator also has a strong background in the law. He has served as a federal court clerk, assistant U.S. attorney and general counsel for Utah’s governor, in addition to his private practice work specializing in appellate and Supreme Court litigation. . .

“I think he would be extraordinary,” [Ted] Cruz said of his friend. “If you look back at Republican nominations to the Court, Democrats have batted almost 1.000. Just about every nominee they’ve put up there has voted the way they wanted on just about every single issue. Republicans at best bat .500. About half of the nominees Republican presidents have put on the Court have turned into train wrecks — have turned into liberal activists.

Investigation Into ‘Dossier’ Against Trump Gets Big Break

/0 Comments/in , /by

The longer the investigation into alleged Russia collusion with the Trump campaign goes on, the more information seems to surface tied to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, it seems.

The latest development comes from District Judge Reggie Walton, who ordered the Justice Department to begin to immediately hand over the communications records of Nellie Ohr, the wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr.

She worked for Fusion GPS, the company funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign that created the “salacious and unverified” anti-Trump “dossier,” which helped fuel the launch of the Russia probe.

The FBI already is neck deep in scandal over its handling of the Clinton and Russia investigations. This week, Congress members rebuked officials in hearings for refusing to provide requested documents. And the recent inspector general report produced more evidence of bias by key FBI officials and investigators, including Peter Strzok, the lead investigator in the Clinton and Russia probes. . .

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said he’s pleased another court rejected the Justice Department’s “inexcusable stonewalling on documents of intense public interest – Obama DOJ collusion with the Clinton campaign vendor Fusion GPS to target then-candidate Donald Trump.” (Read more from “Investigation Into ‘Dossier’ Against Trump Gets Big Break” HERE)

HUGE: Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Travel Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Federalist. The Supreme Court upheld the latest iteration of President Trump’s travel ban in a 5-4 ruling Tuesday, delivering a big win to the administration on a key campaign promise.

The proclamation temporarily suspends immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries with deficient vetting procedures or significant ties to terrorism. The state of Hawaii, which brought the case, claimed the ban unlawfully discriminates against Muslims, but the court found Trump was well within his rights granted by the Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives the president broad powers to suspend entry from countries deemed a threat.

“By its terms, [the law] exudes deference to the President in every clause,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion. “It entrusts to the President the decisions whether and when to suspend entry, whose entry to suspend, for how long, and on what conditions.”

Roberts was joined in that opinion by justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito. The four liberals on the court — justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor — cast the dissenting votes.

Supreme Court Upholds Trump Travel Ban 5-4

By Washington Post. . .The vote was 5 to 4, with conservatives in the majority and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. finding that a string of unprecedented comments and warnings from Trump about Muslims did not erode the president’s vast powers to control entry into this country. . .

Later, the White House issued a formal response that also took a swipe at Trump’s declared enemies. It called the ruling a “vindication following months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and our country.”

Lower courts had struck down each of the three iterations of the president’s travel ban, the first of which was issued in January 2017. But the administration said it fortified the order in response to each judicial setback, and it had reason to be optimistic about the Supreme Court, since the justices previously decided to let the ban go into effect while considering the challenges to it.

Trump Wants Illegal Aliens Who ‘Invade’ U.S. Sent Immediately Back Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Sunday called for illegal immigrants who “invade” the U.S. to be sent “back from where they came” from without due process for deportation cases.

“We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order,” he tweeted. “Most children come without parents…”

“Our Immigration policy, laughed at all over the world, is very unfair to all of those people who have gone through the system legally and are waiting on line for years! Immigration must be based on merit – we need people who will help to Make America Great Again!” he added.

. . .

“Republicans should stop wasting their time on Immigration until after we elect more Senators and Congressmen/women in November. Dems are just playing games, have no intention of doing anything to solves this decades old problem. We can pass great legislation after the Red Wave!” he wrote on Twitter Friday.

Hollywood Director Says Trump Could ‘Go Down as One of the Greatest Presidents in History’

/0 Comments/in , /by

David Lynch — an award-winning director who helmed “The Elephant Man” and “Twin Peaks” among other notable projects — spoke out in what appeared to be support for President Donald Trump in an interview published Saturday in The Guardian. . .

During the wide-ranging interview, 72-year-old Lynch said that Trump could very well “go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much.”

Lynch, who has been open about his admiration of former President Ronald Reagan and who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during his 2016 presidential campaign, also noted that he feels Trump is able to get things done as president.

“I am not really a political person, but I really like the freedom to do what you want to do,” Lynch told The Guardian’s Rory Carroll. “No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.”

Lynch doesn’t necessarily think that Trump is doing a good job as president, per se, but, according to Carroll, this allows other “outsiders” to come in and do the job as president in the future.

James Woods Eviscerates Obama Legacy, Posts His Own Version of Time Cover

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Conservative Tribune. The liberal media has declared all-out war on President Donald Trump, evidenced by their incessant and self-righteously indignant negative coverage of virtually everything he says and does.

The latest outrage du jour for the virtue-signaling liberal media is the “zero tolerance” border policy — based on court precedent set in 1997 and clarified in 2016 — that results in illegal immigrant families being temporarily separated when detained and processed following illegal entry into the country.

That policy from the administration has been likened to the vile and despicable acts of the Nazis, and the media has gleefully perpetuated the notion that Trump and his administration have taken delight from splitting up families and throwing children in “concentration camps.”

Along those lines comes the latest magazine cover from TIME — who have a history of slamming Trump on their covers — which juxtaposes a smugly smiling Trump looking down on a sobbing illegal immigrant girl who’d been detained with her mother at the border.

There’s just one big problem with TIME’s cover and accompanying piece — the separation of illegal immigrant families at the border didn’t start with the Trump administration, but occurred under the past few administrations as well, including that of former President Barack Obama.

Crying Toddler on Widely Shared ‘Time’ Cover Was Not Separated From Mother

By NPR. In the image, a little girl wails in uncomprehending sadness and anxiety.

Her face flushed nearly as pink as her shirt and shoes, she stares up at her mother and a U.S. official, both too tall to be seen. The 2-year-old Honduran child’s panic is so palpable, it’s difficult for a viewer not to feel it, too. . .

There’s a complication, though: The little girl was not ultimately separated from her mother, according to her father. The man, whom Reuters identified as Denis Valera, has told multiple media outlets that mother and daughter were detained together while seeking asylum in Texas.

Trump Signs Executive Order to Establish Proposed ‘Space Force’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump announced on Monday that he wants the Department of Defense and the Pentagon to immediately begin creating a sixth branch of the military — an independent “Space Force.” . . .

The president told the council: “When it comes to defending America, it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space.

“We are going to have the Air Force and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal…My administration is reclaiming America’s heritage as the world’s greatest spacefaring nation.” . . .

The Commander in Chief also expressed his vision for reviving the US space program. As part of that effort, Trump pledged to launch new moon missions and to eventually send astronauts to Mars. He reiterated that he does not want “China and Russia and other countries leading us.” . . .

Director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Todd Harrison, took to Twitter on Monday to make several points about the Space Force initiative. In his first post, Harrison said of the president’s announcement that this was “at least the third time he has said something like this publicly, so it’s not completely out of the blue.”

Reporter Learns the Hard Way Not to Interrupt the Donald, Gets Blindsided by Response

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A reporter who tried to interrupt President Donald Trump during a news conference found out the hard way that interrupting the Donald isn’t a good idea during an impromptu news conference on Friday. Now, the media is up in arms. . .

Afterward, he decided to meet with reporters for a few minutes to field some questions. North Korea, as you can imagine, was at the top of the agenda

“I want to have a good relationship with North Korea,” Trump said. “I want to have a good relationship with many other countries. And what I have done, if you remember, if you are fair, which most of you aren’t … but if you are fair, when I came in, people thought we were probably going to war with North Korea.”

Apparently, one reporter began yelling a question at him, which earned the opprobrium of the president with just three words: “Quiet. Quiet. Quiet,” Trump said as he held out his hand.

A Recent Poll Reveals That Liberals Want NK Deal to Fail, Just so Trump Can’t Get Credit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Irrational hatred for President Donald Trump runs deep among the left. So deep, in fact, that a majority of unfunny comedian Michelle Wolf’s audience hopes the president fails to achieve peace with North Korea, even if that means all of America must forever contend with the perpetual risk of a nuclear war erupting.

This astonishing discovery was made during an episode of Wolf’s equally unfunny Netflix special, “The Break with Michelle Wolf.” . . .

“Are you sort of hoping we don’t get peace with North Korea so you wouldn’t have to give Trump credit?” the obnoxious comedian, who acquired nationwide notoriety in April after she insulted White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during the White House Correspondents Dinner, asked her audience.

An astonishing 71 percent of her audience chose “yes.” Let that sink in …

While it remains unclear when exactly the episode was recorded, the clip above first appeared on social media around June 4, meaning the poll was taken before the president met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un but after their historic summit had been scheduled.

Trump BLASTS ‘Fake News’ Media for This Huge Claim

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Caller. President Donald Trump slammed the “fake news” media’s reporting on the G7 summit in a Friday tweet.

Trump specifically addressed reports that he did not get along with other world leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the 2018 G7 Summit. . .

The president responded to similar criticism during the G7 Summit when a reporter asked about the alleged tensions between the leaders. When Trump found out the reporter was from CNN, he called the network “the worst” and asserted that the relationship with other leaders was at a “10.”

Trump blasts ‘Fake News Media’ for G7 reporting, posts photos of smiling at summit

By Fox News. President Trump hit back at criticisms over his interactions with world leaders at the G7 summit last weekend in Canada, claiming Friday on Twitter that the “fake news media” were “once again, WRONG!”

“I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel of Germany, but the Fake News Media only shows the bad photos (implying anger) of negotiating an agreement – where I am asking for things that no other American President would ask for,” the president wrote alongside a series of photos that showed smiling interactions with the German chancellor and other leaders.

Those images were in stark contrast to a viral photo of Trump at the summit which showed what appeared to be a frustrated Merkel leaning in toward the president and national security advisor John Bolton. Trump, smirking, had his arms crossed in the photo.

Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau butted heads during the summit over tariffs. During the event the president agreed to participate in a group statement on trade – only to reverse course after Trudeau criticized Trump’s tariff threats at a summit-ending news conference.

At that event – which occurred after Trump had already left – the prime minister said that Canada wouldn’t be “pushed around” by the U.S. The declaration led to a subsequent tweetstorm from the president in which he lamented that “Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade.” (Read more from “Trump blasts ‘Fake News Media’ for G7 reporting, posts photos of smiling at summit” HERE)
