Court Upholds Trump’s Expanded Abortion-Pill Exemptions

/0 Comments/in , /by

When President Obama and his Democratic colleagues in Congress adopted Obamacare, they required abortion coverage, with no exemptions, to the delight of the abortion industry . . .

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the government to expand those exemptions when it ruled in the Hobby Lobby case, and President Trump widen the exemptions even further.

Now a federal court has ruled the Trump administration’s changes will stand, determining that the state of Massachusetts, which wanted to reverse course, has no standing in the case.

The ruling this week comes from U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in the state’s lawsuit against several federal agencies and their leaders.

“This court finds that plaintiff has failed to set forth specific facts demonstrating that it is likely to incur an injury caused by defendants’ conduct,” the judge wrote. “Accordingly, the court declines, at this time, to address the merits of the Commonwealth’s statutory or constitutional claims.” (Read more from “Court Upholds Trump’s Expanded Abortion-Pill Exemptions” HERE)

Pardoned Sailor Shocks, Reveals Obama Admin. Destroyed His Life Over Hillary

/0 Comments/in , /by

After U.S. Navy sailor Kristian Saucier was pardoned by President Donald Trump on Friday, the serviceman had some choice words on the former administration and the individuals who ran it.

Speaking with Fox News’ Pete Hegseth on Saturday morning, Saucier opened up about what he believes was a type of bait-and-switch tactic to cover-up for Hillary Clinton’s alleged crimes.

In October of 2016, Saucier was charged and jailed for “taking photos onboard a nuclear submarine in 2009,” according to The Daily Caller.

The Navy sailor argued that his charge was an attempt by the former administration to “take the heat” off of the inquiry of Clinton’s use of a private email server to handle sensitive information while working for the State Department.

“It’s unfortunate that one prosecutor and a couple of FBI agents really just destroyed my life for no reason,” Saucier said.

“This case could have been handled at a much lower level within the military as it should have been because I was active duty at the time,” he added. “And I would have taken my punishment the same way like a man.”

Saucier chalked up the “mistake” to being young and naive, as he claimed it was merely a “misguided attempt” to obtain a few mementos, however, he suggested that the coverage of his case should never have reached the level of media that it did.

“It was a clear attempt by the Department of Justice under President Obama to use me as a scapegoat to take the heat off of Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information,” he said.

While many agreed with Trump’s pardon — and Saucier’s take on the Obama administration — it was not applauded by all.

No matter the stance on those that voiced their opinion on Trump’s pardon, Saucier ended his interview expressing thanks for the decision and what he claimed was the president’s “bravery.”

“Thank you, sir for your bravery and for standing up in the face of so many people who said you would never do the right thing,” Saucier said.

“You proved them wrong time and time again,” he added. “And thank you for having the moral fortitude to follow through on your promises.” (For more from the author of “Pardoned Sailor Shocks, Reveals Obama Admin. Destroyed His Life Over Hillary” please click HERE)

‘Terrifying’ Potential of Digitally Altered Trump Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alec Baldwin is to some a perfect stand-in for President Donald Trump. But in a digitally-altered video online, the president’s face has been digitally stamped onto Baldwin’s performance.

It’s part of a wave of doctored audio and video now spreading online.

“The idea that someone could put another person’s face on an individual’s body, that would be like a homerun for anyone who wants to interfere in a political process,” said Virginia Senator Mark Warner. He believes manipulated video could be a game-changer in global politics.

“This is now going to be the new reality, surely by 2020, but potentially even as early as this year,” he said.

“Derpfakes” is the anonymous YouTuber who has made fake videos of President Trump, Hillary Clinton and Vladimir Putin, based off of performances by the cast of “Saturday Night Live.”

Trump Changes Mind on Gun Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is pushing forward with a plan to arm teachers and improve background checks for gun purchases, but has retreated from his promise to raise the age limit to buy certain kinds of weapons, a move many see as caving to the National Rifle Assn.

Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday that there is “not much political support (to put it mildly)” for raising the age limit from 18 to 21 to purchase powerful rifles like the one used to kill 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., last month.

During a meeting with six students and families from the Florida high school in the White House last month, Trump pledged to be “strong” on increasing the age limit. A recent CNN poll found strong support for the idea, including among Republicans . . .

Rather than push for the comprehensive gun legislation he urged Congress to pass just last month, Trump now wants state and local officials to take the lead in setting age limits and other issues.

“States are making this decision,” Trump wrote Monday, making an apparent reference to Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s decision to sign a state law requiring gun buyers to be 21 and imposing a three-day waiting period on most gun purchases. (Read more from “Trump Changes Mind on Gun Control” HERE)

Will Trump Lawyers Stop Interview With Stormy Daniels?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Lawyers associated with President Donald Trump are considering legal action to stop 60 Minutes from airing an interview with Stephanie Clifford, the adult film performer and director who goes by Stormy Daniels, BuzzFeed News has learned.

“We understand from well-placed sources they are preparing to file for a legal injunction to prevent it from airing,” a person informed of the preparations told BuzzFeed News on Saturday evening.

It was not immediately clear what legal argument the lawyers would be making to support the considered litigation, and Trump and his legal team often have threatened litigation without following through on those threats in the past.

Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney who previously was a longtime lawyer for the Trump Organization, directed questions about the possibility of litigation to Larry Rosen, who Cohen told BuzzFeed News is “my attorney handling this matter.” Rosen — a partner in the firm LaRocca, Hornik, Rosen, Greenberg & Blaha — acknowledged his role in the matter generally but did not comment directly on the possibility of seeking an injunction . . .

An action to try to prevent the interview from airing would be the latest in a flurry of developments in a case that began just before the 2016 election when Cohen paid Clifford $130,000 in return for her silence about a sexual relationship she allegedly had with Trump in 2006. At the time, Trump was under intense pressure over comments he’d made about his treatment of women in the run-up to the vote.

CNN Anchor: Trump ‘Would Be Going Down as a Great President’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wow … Yesterday evening, President Donald Trump stunned the world by agreeing to meet with despotic North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. As Jordan Schachtel outlined in his CRTV Dossier newsletter today, it is still too early to know if any meeting between Trump and Kim will turn out well. But it has caused even the anti-Trump MSM to take notice. For example, CNN’s Erin Burnett.

On her television program last night, Burnett remarked, “If President Trump can truly solve this problem, that would be going down as a great president and there’s no way around that. That is the reality here.” Our friends at NewsBusters have a full rundown of the “glowing praise” heaped upon Trump for the move by CNN and MSNBC types. Trump is unconventional, to say the least, but what if it is all planned to try to bring adversaries of all types to the table to actually solve problems?

This is expected … CNN’s Jim Sciutto – the former Obama administration official who doesn’t disclose that fact on the air – is being Jim Sciutto again. This time he tweeted out something hugely misleading about Trump and Russia. According to the Washington Examiner, Sciutto tweeted:

Breaking: Top US general in Europe: “I don’t believe there is an effective” US response to confront #Russian cyber threats – NATO Supreme Allied CMDR-Europe Scaparrotti

Here’s the thing. Scaparrotti didn’t say that. The Examiner shows how the comment was much more “nuanced,” but that doesn’t get you over 1500 retweets. So if you’re Sciutto, you stretch the truth and spread misinformation. That’s pretty much his stock in trade at this point.

The real deal on “collusion” … Despite Sciutto’s disinformation, the real deal on so-called Russian collusion is that people who actually understand Russia think it is all bunk. That’s the thesis of Tablet Mag’s Lee Smith, who explains, “Knowledgeable reporters on the left and right are frightened by the spread of an elite conspiracy theory among American media.” The key takeaway is that the anti-Trump press is “gleefully going along for the ride” on a conspiracy theory that has major holes in it.

Sloppy …

Did he even look? … Once a darling of the conservative mediasphere, CNN’s Oliver Darcy is now just another soldier in CNN media critic/cheerleader Brian Stelter’s army of anti-conservative punditry. Here’s a recent case in point. Yesterday, Darcy wanted to call out The Daily Caller for not covering the Stormy Daniels lawsuit against Donald Trump. The only problem? The Caller did cover it, extensively. The story was on the home page for hours, and there were over a dozen stories at the Caller on the topic. The Caller’s Joe Simonson has the full story. It’s time to take off the blinders, Oliver.

A “disgrace” … On his radio program last night, LevinTV host Mark Levin sounded off on the MSM, whom he called a “disgrace” for protecting the Obama administration’s domestic political spying operation. As CR’s Chris Pandolfo recounts:

[Levin] reminded his audience that the Obama administration spied on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spied on members of Congress, spied on Jewish organizations, spied on the Associated Press, and spied on reporter James Rosen and his parents, explaining that they were perfectly capable of spying on Trump’s team.

As I’ve been saying, the media are more interested in taking down President Donald Trump than they are in the truth. The media narrative is what needs protecting, not the American people.

Madness …

It’s that time of year again. The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament selection is this Sunday, and the tournament tips off on Tuesday, March 13. Do you have a team? Or are you just blindly filling out a bracket in the hopes of winning some cold, hard cash? (Note: WTF MSM!? does not condone illegal sports gambling, no matter how fun it is.)

Why Trump Is So Hated by Leftists

/0 Comments/in , , /by

My brother expressed his disgust watching an animated TV show trashing Trump, titled Our Cartoon President. Incredibly, leftists have hijacked the airwaves and everywhere people gather to exploit as platforms to spread their vitriolic, insane hatred for Trump. Outrageously, TV coverage of the Olympics included leftist hatred for the Trump administration.

Despite the shocking discovery that leftist policies probably played a role in the deaths of 17 kids in the Florida school shooting, leftists continue puppet-mastering students to blame Trump.

Even Sunday worship has been hijacked by leftists to trash Trump. My brother asked the pastor of his all black church to please stop including a lie-filled Democrat-talking-points rant about Trump in his sermons.

Leftist disrespect and venomous hatred for President Trump is unprecedented, over the top, and boldly spewed 24/7. I wondered, why?

I reached out to prominent conservatives and Republicans for their thoughts.Why Trump Is So Hated by Leftists

VICTORIA JACKSON

I think Trump is hated by the left because his ideology, his words and actions, are the exact opposite of the left’s ideology. He is not a “globalist,” but loves America, our homeland; he knows that we can’t continue being the world’s number-one giver if we are not safe and successful ourselves. He knows that capitalism, not communism, will feed the poor; capitalism makes everyone richer, while communism makes everyone equally poor. He knows that free enterprise and less government regulation will provide jobs and boost our economy, not socialist handouts and overregulation.

He knows that less unemployment and getting out of debt will save our nation much more than wasting time and money on things like the scientifically unproven climate change hoax and its hidden goal of controlling the masses. He believes in individual freedom and responsibility, not government control. He’s not a secularist (new word for atheist, according to Julia Sweeney’s TED talk), but a defender of religious liberty, including Christianity. He is protective of Americans and not protective of our enemies, some of whom sneak into our midst through unenforced immigration law.

He thinks all lives matter, not just black lives; he respects the police, firefighters, and military instead of fanning the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals flames of violent civil unrest and class and racial warfare. He is not a saint, and he doesn’t pretend to be. He believes in free speech, not political correctness. The left is confused; leftists don’t know how to respond to a politician who speaks from the heart, not from talking points. The left hates Trump because the Tea Party loves him.

JUDSON PHILLIPS

Trump is hated the same way and for the same reason President Reagan was hated. He is a fighter, and he is moving a conservative agenda forward. The left did not like George W. Bush, but they did not hate him the way they hate Trump, because Trump believes in fighting and winning.

MYCHAL MASSIE

Why are the reprobates in both parties so averse to helping President Trump stabilize and protect what little of a future we have left? What is it that both political parties find so repulsive about protecting American citizens?

The answer is fairly easy to state, and more complex to explain in intricate detail. Ergo, I will simplify the explanation as much as possible. They are fighting President Trump because he is a threat to their “one-world government.”

President Trump’s victory in America has spawned a new generation of pro-nationalist leaders who refuse to be ruled by a heteronomous government that is handpicked in a wine- and cheese-filled room located in a hotel at some posh island retreat. Bush had great dreams for a North American-style European Union by implementing NAFTA, full amnesty, and open borders.

While we were marginally successful in stopping Bush, Obama destroyed any chance of making it happen because of his contemptible arrogance and his hedonistic wife, who viewed the American taxpayers as her American Express Card.

Notwithstanding, the bones of North America becoming the Western-type E.U. were still in place, and both parties knew that it was only a matter of time until they succeeded.

But then “Along Came Donald J. Trump.” Once again, the arrogance of the ruling elite thought We the People could be bullied and intimidated into doing as we were told. But this time, their schemes and machinations did not work because we saw in President Trump a man we could trust. And the power elite will never forgive President Trump nor will they forgive We the People for electing him.

JOE MILLER

As I explained in the run-up to the 2016 election here and here, I’ve always believed that Donald Trump is the Real Deal. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything he does or says. But there’s little question that the president is his own man. And that drives the Establishment crazy. The oligarchs want someone they can control. They rely on leveraged politicos to do their evil bidding, but Trump has given them no such foothold. So they use their Establishment-controlled media to foment hate against him. This fake news jihad is effective but will not stop Trump.

LARRY PRATT

He fights!

NINA MAY

Trump is hated not only by the left, but by the RINOs for the exact same reason: they can’t control him. They can’t intimidate or shame him as they do everyone else, and probably the most poignant and profound is that he believes in something greater than himself, than the state, than politics…and that is God.

I wish to thank these great patriots for their insightful input. Here’s why I believe that Trump is so hated by leftists.

Leftist hatred for Trump is rooted in their mission to undermine all things wholesome, godly, and good for America. Everything leftists do, in essence, gives the God of Christianity the middle finger. It is not coincidental that leftists hijack Christian symbols and institutions for their anti-God agenda.

For example: The rainbow was God’s promise to Noah to never again let floodwaters destroy all life. Homosexuals hijacked God’s rainbow to symbolize behavior God calls an abomination.

God created marriage as a holy union between one man and one woman.

Despite civil unions readily available to them, homosexuals successfully broke down marriage, resulting in every conceivable deviant configuration to eventually be legally declared marriage.

Trump in the White House is a miracle. Despite leftists’ 24-7 efforts to stop and destroy him, President Trump has remarkably implemented 64% of his Make-America-Great-Again agenda. Fasten your seat belts, leftists: Trump has only just begun. (Published with permission of the author, read more from Llyod Marcus HERE)

Magazine Inadvertently Exposed Trump Dossier Lie

/0 Comments/in , /by

A lengthy, glowing New Yorker magazine profile on the anti-Trump “dossier” author, Christopher Steele, reported the former MI6 agent knew that his work was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

That claim conflicts with the FBI’s explicit statement in its October 2016 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance application that Steele was unaware of who financed his work for Fusion GPS, the opposition-research company hired by the Democrats’ law firm Perkins Coie, reports investigative reporter Sara Carter.

Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has testified to Congress that the dossier was essential to obtaining the warrant to spy on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.

New Yorker writer Jane Mayer wrote that several months after Steele was subcontracted by Fusion GPS in the spring of 2016, he learned his research was being jointly subsidized by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

But in a footnote on the warrant application to the FISA court on Oct. 21, 2016, the FBI stated “Source #1,” meaning Steele, was “never advised” as to “the motivation behind the research into Candidate #1’s (Trump’s) ties to Russia.” (Read more from “Magazine Inadvertently Exposed Trump Dossier Lie” HERE)

Trump Not Getting Rich as POTUS, Sees Staggering Drop on Forbes Richest List

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump dropped over 200 spots on Forbes Billionaires List from his position last year.

Trump currently comes in at No. 766 for Forbes 2018 list with a net worth of $3.1 billion versus 2017 when he was No. 544 with $3.5 billion on his ledger.

This year’s drop follows another one of over 200 spots in 2017.

Trump announced his candidacy for president in June 2015 and clearly devoted much of his energy to winning the race.

Additionally, he stepped down as the Trump Organization’s CEO in December 2016, turning over the reins to his sons Donald Jr. and Eric.

Also to address the issue of the appearance of conflicts of interest, Trump’s attorney announced his organization would undertake no new foreign deals, while he was in office, which effectively shut down one avenue stream.

The Washington Times reports about half of Trump’s net worth — $1.5 billion — is in real estate. The next largest share — $560 million — is invested in his golf clubs and resorts.

According to Forbes, the president’s decline in net worth can be mostly attributed to the New York City real estate market.

“The rise of e-commerce has pushed down the value of properties like Trump Tower, which sits in the heart of shopping mecca Fifth Avenue in New York City,” Forbes reported. It estimated the value of the property has declined $41 million.

Additionally, longtime tenant Nike announced it is vacating approximately 65,000 square feet of retail space at Trump’s property at 6 East 57th Street.

However, on the positive side, profits have surged at other properties that Trump owns stakes in located in New York and San Francisco.

In his speech at the Republican Convention in July 2016, Trump’s son Eric noted his father would be making a sacrifice to run and to be president.

“So my father made the courageous decision to set aside a company to which he has dedicated his entire life, to set aside a global brand that he has made synonymous with success, with quality, with uncompromising … just the best,” Eric Trump said.

“At a time when people at the pinnacle of their career like my father would have held fast to a lifestyle that has truly become the epitome of the American dream, my father instead chose to give that dream back to the people it had eluded for so long,” he added.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who tops the 2018 Forbes list, has done very well under Trump, surpassing Microsoft founder Bill Gates to become the wealthiest man in the world, with an estimated worth of $112 billion.

Bezos was the first person to ever surpass the $100 billion mark.

Gates’ net worth now stands at $90 billion, followed by Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett at $84 billion, French businessman Bernard Arnault with $72 billion and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at $71 billion.

Top Economic Adviser Resigns From Trump Team

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House chief economic advisor Gary Cohn has resigned from President Donald Trump’s administration.

The former Goldman Sachs president and free trade advocate Cohn, whose departure date will come in a few weeks, decided to quit after Trump announced he would impose stiff tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

In a prepared statement, Cohn said, “It has been an honor to serve my country and enact pro-growth economic policies to benefit the American people, in particular the passage of historic tax reform.”

“I am grateful to the President for giving me this opportunity and wish him and the Administration great success in the future,” Cohn said.

In his own statement, Trump said, “Gary has been my chief economic advisor and did a superb job in driving our agenda, helping to deliver historic tax cuts and reforms and unleashing the American economy once again. (Read more from “Top Economic Adviser Resigns From Trump Team” HERE)
