Graham Claims This Is the ‘Single Worst’ Decision Trump Could Make

/0 Comments/in , /by

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was asked by host Chris Wallace about President Trump’s recent remarks about pulling U.S. troops out of Syria.

WALLACE: Meanwhile, President Trump started talking this week about pulling all of our 2,000 troops out of Syria, who are there supporting the effort against ISIS. And we learned yesterday that he has frozen $200 million in funds for recovery efforts there.

Wallace then played a clip from a speech on Wednesday in which the president claimed that the United States would be pulling out of Syria “very soon.” He added: “Let the other people take care of it now.” . .

GRAHAM: Well, Mr. President, when it comes to Russia, read the Ronald Reagan playbook; when it comes to Syria, do not read the Obama playbook. This is the Obama playbook – one foot in, one foot out. This is a disaster in the making . . .

There are over 3,000 ISIS fighters still roaming around Syria. We’ve got troops there to protect us, and to protect the region. If we withdrew our troops anytime soon, ISIS would come back, the war between Turkey and the Kurds would get out of hand, and you’d be giving Damascus to the Iranians without an American presence – and Russia and Iran would dominate Syria. It [would] be the single worst decision the president could make.

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. Sunday morning, President Donald Trump signaled to reporters that Congressional Democrats had wasted their opportunity to come to the bargaining table over comprehensive immigration reform, and that the time for a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act had passed.

He also encouraged Republicans to pass strict anti-immigration legislation, likely including increased funding for Trump’s planned border wall.

Trump Tweeted early Sunday that he was growing tired of Democratic immigration policies, including the nonsensical border patrol “catch-and-release” program instituted under President Barack Obama. He punctuated his social media missive with the words, “NO DACA DEAL” in all capital letters.

According to the Washington Post, whose reporters waited to speak to the President and his wife outside Easter services at an Episcopalian church local to the couple’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, the President was very willing to elaborate on his statement, accusing Congressional Democrats of standing in the way of any potential deal to protect past and future DACA recipients.

‘No More DACA Deal,’ Trump Says as He Threatens to ‘Stop’ NAFTA If Mexico Doesn’t Better Secure Border

By The Washington Post. President Trump spent his Easter morning here on an anti-immigrant tirade, declaring Sunday that there would be no deal to legalize the status of undocumented immigrants known as “dreamers” and threatening to exit the North American Free Trade Agreement unless Mexico increases border security.

Trump thrust the future of millions of undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children into peril by promising “NO MORE DACA DEAL,” and he directed congressional Republicans to pass tough anti-immigration legislation . . .

It was Trump who last fall canceled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which was begun in the Obama administration to provide temporary protection to dreamers.

Regretful Biden Really Wishes Obama Had Given Tax Cuts, Basically Concedes Trump’s Right

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden says he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class during the final years in the White House in order to give Americans tangible proof of the Obama administration’s accomplishments.

“We had the big debate about what our focus should be on the economy in the last two years,” Biden said in an interview on Pod Save America, a podcast hosted by four Obama administration alumni. “The president let me come in with my team to make a presentation that we should have a middle class tax cut. The economists came in and said, ‘well, that’s not going to stimulate the economy.’”

Biden said that he and his advisers debated with other economists for two days in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, but in the end the administration declined to push for tax cuts. “What I was trying to do was actually demonstrate tangibly that we’re listening,” Biden said.

The conversation was sparked by what former President Barack Obama should have done in the last years of his administration to prove that his economic policies were working for the American people.

“I wish we could have done again going back as I wish we had let people know simultaneously ‘this is what we’re doing. By the way the reason why you are bum-bum-bum this is why. The reason why this job came back is because of — this is what we did the reason,’” Biden said.

SEE IT: Jim Carrey Paints Gruesome Death of Trump Sons

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Tuesday, troubled Hollywood actor and comedian Jim Carrey posted a painting to social media depicting the two eldest Trump sons, Don Jr. and Eric, being gruesomely murdered by an elephant.

In the painting, Don Jr. has a bloody elephant tusk rammed through his stomach and Eric, a bloody tusk through the heart. The men are shown with their hunting rifles, seemingly a slight at the sons’ big-game hunting hobby. Carrey, for good measure, added a #TeamElephant caption to the post.

This is not the first time Carrey has gone after members of Team Trump. Earlier this month, the actor painted Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who’s only the third female to ever serve as White House Press Secretary, with a caption calling her faith into question.

“This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!,” wrote Carrey.

Judge Denies Motion by Stormy Daniels’ Attorney to Depose Trump, Cohen

By CNN. federal judge in California put a temporary stop Thursday to efforts by Stormy Daniels’ attorney to depose President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen over a $130,000 payout from Cohen to the porn star before the 2016 election.

Judge S. James Otero of the US District Court for the Central District of California denied the motion for an expedited trial and discovery process, saying Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti, was “premature” in making the motion because Trump and Essential Consultants LLC, the company established by Cohen to pay Daniels the $130,000 to keep quiet about an alleged affair between her and Trump, have not yet filed a petition to compel arbitration, which they have stated they’re going to do.

In his decision, Otero admonished the parties, writing that “instant litigation is not the most important matter on the court’s docket.” He also vacated a hearing date previously set for April 30. (Read more from “Judge Denies Motion by Stormy Daniels’ Attorney to Depose Trump, Cohen” HERE)

‘Roseanne’ Reboot Sprang From ABC’s Heartland Strategy After Trump’s Victory

By New York Times. On the morning after the 2016 election, a group of nearly a dozen ABC executives gathered at their Burbank, Calif., headquarters to determine what Donald J. Trump’s victory meant for the network’s future . . .

They began asking themselves which audiences they were not serving well and what they could do to better live up to the company name — the American Broadcasting Company. By the meeting’s end, they had in place the beginnings of a revised strategy that led the network to reboot a past hit centered on a struggling Midwestern family, a show that had a chance to appeal to the voters who had helped put Mr. Trump in the White House.

On Tuesday night, the strategy proved more successful than the executives had hoped: “Roseanne” premiered to the highest ratings for any network sitcom in almost four years. (Read more from “‘Roseanne’ Reboot Sprang From ABC’s Heartland Strategy After Trump’s Victory’ HERE)

Robert Wilkie of DOD will serve as Acting Secretary. I am thankful for Dr. David Shulkin’s service to our country and to our GREAT VETERANS!” . . .

Trump Fires VA Secretary David Shulkin, Taps Navy Physician as Replacement

By The Washington Times. ust hours earlier, a spokesman for Mr. Shulkin told The Washington Times that there were “no personnel changes to announce” at the agency, despite mounting reports that Mr. Trump was preparing to remove Mr. Shulkin.

“President Trump has made clear that he expects the department’s sole focus to be on providing quality care to America’s veterans who have sacrificed to keep this country free and safe,” VA spokesman Curt Cashour said.

A White House spokesman said Monday that Mr. Trump had confidence in Mr. Shulkin “at this point in time.” Some major veterans groups expressed support for keeping Mr. Shulkin in the post.

Mr. Shulkin was a rare holdover from the Obama administration in Mr. Trump’s Cabinet, having served as undersecretary of health at the VA from 2015 to 2017. While the president initially praised his performance, he began to sour on Mr. Shulkin this year after an inspector general’s report criticized the secretary for wasting taxpayer money on a trip to Europe with his wife last summer.

Mr. Shulkin fell out of favor with some White House advisers who favor pushing more veterans’ health care services to the private sector. (Read more from “Trump Fires VA Secretary David Shulkin, Taps Navy Physician as Replacement” HERE)

Color Me Shocked, Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Utters the One Sentence All Trump Supporters Were Waiting to Hear

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Bizpac Review. Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, said on “CBS This Morning” Wednesday that his client would be willing to accept a settlement in her lawsuit, which seeks to void a 2016 nondisclosure agreement regarding her alleged affair with President Trump.

“If they came to you with a settlement in this case, would you accept it?” co-host Anthony Mason asked.

“I think we would consider it, I would converse with my client,” Avanatti replied. “It would depend on the terms of a settlement. But at this point, I don’t see how the case gets resolved short of the truth coming out.”

Responding to Gayle King’s question about whether the lawsuit is “politically motivated” and an effort to “embarrass” the president, the attorney said:

“It’s just simply not true. I’m not involved in politics. I’m representing my client. The president and [Trump lawyer Michael] Cohen are the ones that have spread half-truths and falsities about my client.

By Newsweek. Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti said in an interview with CBS This Morning that he and his client would consider a settlement in their lawsuit against President Donald Trump and attorney Michael Cohen —but both would prefer for “the truth to come out.”

“I think we would consider it. I would converse with my client,” the adult film star’s lawyer said Wednesday. “It would depend on the terms of a settlement. But at this point, I don’t see how the case gets resolved short of the truth coming out.”

Avenatti’s discussion of a potential settlement comes on the same day the attorney filed a formal request to depose Trump and Cohen about the $130,000 paid to Daniels in October 2016. The hush agreement was made in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair she had with the business mogul in 2006-2007.

“We’re only getting started,” Avenatti told CBS This Morning host Gayle King. He also accused Cohen of “thuggish behavior” and using “intimidation tactics” to “step on little people.”

“Mr. Cohen and the president better be very careful what they come out and state regarding my client,” said Avenatti, who has been going from talk show to talk show to discuss the case. (Read more from “Daniels’ Spurs Settlement Talks After Filing Request to Depose Trump” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

After Stormy Daniels’ national interview on “60 Minutes,” where the aging porn star shared details of an alleged one night stand with now-President Donald Trump over a decade ago, to include the dramatic claim that her life was threatened, a key player in the story immediately fired back.

The lawyer representing Michael Cohen, Trump’s longtime personal attorney, sent a cease and desist letter Sunday night demanding that Daniels refrain from making further “false and defamatory” statements about Cohen, and requested a retraction and apology for the comments she made in the interview . . .

Brent Blakely, who represents Cohen, told Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti in the letter that his client had nothing to do with the alleged threat that Daniels said came from “a guy” in a parking lot, who warned her, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story.”

“In truth, Mr. Cohen had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any such person or incident, and does not even believe that any such person exists, or that such incident ever occurred,” Blakely wrote.

“You and your client’s false statements about Mr. Cohen accuse him of criminal conduct and constitute, among other claims, libel per se and intentional infliction of emotional distress.” (Read more from “One ’60 Minutes’ Accusation Could Get Stormy Daniels in Trouble; Lawyer Demands Apology and Retraction” HERE)
