FLASHBACK: Donald Trump Rushed to Stop an Assailant in 1991 Even Though He Didn’t Have a Weapon

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democrats, true to ignorant form, are once again frivolously giggling at President Trump for suggesting he would have entered the Parkland school building unarmed during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. At a meeting with governors to discuss school safety measures, Trump explained, “I really believe I’d run in there, even if I didn’t have a weapon. And I think most of the people in this room would’ve done that too.” Trump’s opponents on the Left quickly pounced. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane posted a GIF image of President Trump apparently showing fear as a bald eagle nearly bit him. 1970s film star Mark Hamill tweeted, “#ItsFunToPretend.” Twitter user Bryce Tache wrote, “You’ll never be the hero. Never.”

Trump’s lightly-educated critics ignore history, including a 1991 incident in which The Donald rush to stop a mugging in New York and chased the armed assailant away, despite lacking any weapon himself. As James Rosen reported at the time in the New York Daily News, “When he saw ‘a big guy with a big bat’ bashing another fellow, Donald Trump did what any self-respecting billionaire would do: He ordered his driver to pull over.” Trump confronted the armed assailant, who recognized him and claimed not to have done anything wrong. Trump reportedly asked the mugger, “How could you not do anything wrong when you’re whacking a guy with a bat?” The mugger then ran away.

Lest readers write the story off as mere Trumpian fiction, Rosen adds that a witness corroborated the account. (Read more from “FLASHBACK: Donald Trump Rushed to Stop an Assailant in 1991 Even Though He Didn’t Have a Weapon” HERE)

Trump: I Would’ve Run Into School Shooting Unarmed

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of news reports indicating as many as four Broward County Sheriff’s deputies had their pistols drawn and were taking cover behind their vehicles after an active shooter went on a killing spree at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, a disgusted President Trump vowed he would have stormed the school to save the kids – even if he had no weapon.

“I really believe I’d run in there even if I didn’t have a weapon,” Trump said Monday during a governors meeting at the White House on school safety.

In the middle of the bloodshed, Coral Springs police officers arrived on the scene. Officers told CNN that the armed school resource officer and three other Broward County Sheriff’s deputies hadn’t entered the school by the time they arrived. One source told CNN the deputies were behind their vehicles with their weapons drawn, and they didn’t appear to join police as they entered the school.

“I got to watch some deput[ies] performing this weekend,” Trump said, criticizing the sheriff’s response. “They weren’t exactly Medal of Honor winners, all right? The way they performed was, frankly, disgusting.

“They were listening to what was going on, the one in particular (the school resource officer). Then you had three others … ” Trump said. “The way they performed was really a disgrace.” (Read more from “Trump: I Would’ve Run Into School Shooting Unarmed” HERE)

Trump Approval Rate Surges to 50 Percent

/0 Comments/in , /by

Half of likely U.S. voters now approve of President Trump’s job performance, according to Rasmussen Reports, which noted that on the same date in Barack Obama’s term his approval was only 45 percent.

The latest figures include 34 percent who strongly approve of the way the president is performing and 41 percent who strongly disapprove,” Rasmussen said.

“Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe has resulted in 13 indictments against Russians for meddling in the 2016 presidential election, and half of voters now think it’s possible this alleged interference cost Hillary Clinton the presidency. But slightly more think the U.S. government also interferes in the elections of other countries,” the polling service said.

“The indictments handed down to the Russians involved using stolen identities from American citizens to promote mostly pro-Trump political activist campaigns through social media. Interestingly, though, 79 percent of regular social media users say their political opinions are not significantly influenced by postings on social media, including 40 percent who say they are not influenced at all.”

The polling organization also said that while Democrats have promoted gun control in response to the Florida high school shooting, “most Americans don’t believe stricter gun control laws will reduce violent crime.” (Read more from “Trump Approval Rate Surges to 50 Percent” HERE)

Trump’s Trans-In-Military Vow Hangs in Balance

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Secretary James Mattis should put “mission readiness” above social agendas in his recommendation to the White House regarding whether or not transgendered persons should serve in the military, contends a military expert.

Mattis on Friday delivered his recommendation to the White House, the Hill reported, but it was not released to the public.

A Pentagon spokesman declined to discuss the recommendation, but several published reports claimed Mattis recommended that people with gender dysphoria be allowed to continue in the military.

Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, warned that if true, there will be consequences for the military’s ability to defend the nation.

“The defense secretary’s trial balloon, if accurately described, will not fly. Such a plan would be unworkable and unfaithful to orders that President Donald Trump has every right to issue,” she said. (Read more from “Trump’s Trans-In-Military Vow Hangs in Balance” HERE)

Trump’s Solution for Mass Shootings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Fox News. President Trump said Wednesday the administration is going to strengthen background checks for gun purchases and “put a strong emphasis on mental health,” as he promised students and families “we are going to get it done.”

The president, Vice President Mike Pence and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos hosted students, teachers and families affected by the Parkland high school shooting for a “listening session” at the White House Wednesday, which lasted close to two hours.

Exactly one week ago, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, whom the president described as “a sick guy,” opened fire at the high school and now is charged with killing 17 teachers and students with an AR-15 rifle.

“We are going to be very strong on background checks, and put a very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody,” Trump said at the beginning of the listening session. “We’re going to talk and get it done. It’s been going on too long, too many instances and we’re going to get it done.”

Students and parents from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, along with Parkland city Mayor Christine Hunschofsky, attended the White House session, along with members of Sandy Hook Promise, a national non-profit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut and led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic Dec. 14, 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Students from Friendship Public Charter School, Parkmont, and Thurgood Marshall Academy in Washington, D.C. also attended. (Read more from “Trump’s Solution for Mass Shootings” HERE)

JUST IN: Trump Orders Ban on Bump Stocks

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump announced an order to the Department of Justice to propose a ban on bump stocks, devices which modify semi-automatic weapons to act more like fully automatic weapons. The discussion of bump stocks first hit the press and politicians in October, soon after the Las Vegas massacre where the shooter used such a device to kill over 50 people.

“We can do more to protect our children. We must do more to protect our children,” said Trump at an event to honor law and safety officers at the White House.

“After the deadly shooting in Las Vegas, I directed the attorney general to clarify whether certain bump stock devices like the one used in Las Vegas are illegal under current law,” he announced, according to Real Clear Politics.

“That process began in December, and just a few moments ago, I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns. I expect that these critical regulations will be finalized, [by Attorney General Jeff Sessions], very soon,” Trump continued.

“The key in all of these efforts, as I said in my remarks the day after the shooting, is that we cannot merely take actions that make us feel like we are making a difference, we must actually make a difference. We must move past cliches and tired debates and focus on evidence-based solutions and security measures that actually work and that make it easier for women of law enforcement to protect our children and to protect our safety,” the president added.

Have you ever wanted to Make America Great Again, but were too afraid that you just couldn’t do it alone? Well, a new site called “Trump.Dating” promises to help you hook up with other Trump supporters — in more ways than one.

The dating site, unveiled this week, promises to help the president’s super-fans connect in romantic relationships by discovering their shared commitment to making America great again, and their shared love of sticking it to leftists in extended Twitter rants.

“Political leanings are part of each and every person’s foundation,” said Sean McGrossier, Trump.Dating’s founder, told The Daily Caller. “Every Trump supporter in America right now knows how hostile the political climate is, forced to hide our loud-and-proud support for the president in colleges, restaurants, chatrooms, and more. With Trump.Dating, users do.” (Read more from “Make America Love Again! Dating Site for Trump Supporters Launches” HERE)

Conquest Changes Everything: Build the Wall

/0 Comments/in , /by

At my very first class session on my first day of college, I encountered a world-weary psychology professor in the twilight of his career. He was unyielding on class deadlines, with one exception.

“If you can tell me an excuse I’ve never heard before,” he told his wide-eyed freshmen, “I’ll give you an A.” Many of us gave it a shot during that semester, but I never heard of anybody getting the A.

His offer was strategic. Much of our success over the ensuing 40+ years would, in fact, depend on the quality of our excuses. “A lie is an abomination unto the Lord,” Mark Twain quipped, “and an ever-present help in time of trouble.”

But lying to authority figures is one thing. Lying to your children is something else. And so it’s not very hard to forgive illegal aliens who lie about their status in order to put food on the family table, but not so easy to forgive Baby Boomers who lie to their grandchildren that America’s going to be just fine with open borders.

Our American grandchildren need a barrier at our southern border, and soon. Without it, the United States will cease to exist, perhaps within your grandchild’s lifetime.

What would that ending look like? Chicano activist and professor Charles Trujillo has predicted a merger of the U.S. and Mexico, after which fertile immigrants would overtake the native-born voting population, without a shot fired. But he has also called secession of the Southwest from America inevitable, due to recent immigration.

His colleague Armando Navarro, who says he takes inspiration from Saul Alinsky, Vladimir Lenin and Che Guevara, advocates a forcible occupation of the Southwest. “A secessionist movement isn’t something you can put away and say it’s never going to happen in the United States,” Prof. Navarro writes. “Time and history change.”

He has a point.

What if a hypothetical resurgent Mexico not only occupied the Southwest but drove north and east to conquer America from sea to shining sea? Would Mexico’s title to Indianapolis be valid under American property law? Yes, and it’s not even a close question.

The Supreme Court settled that issue in 1823, when it decided Johnson v. McIntosh, a case about Native Americans’ attempt to sell their land to whites. That decision established once and for all that conquest confers title. It even trumps good-faith bilateral contracts for purchase.

If we’re under the impression that we can cut a side deal with invaders, that we can deal away our grandchildren’s sovereignty but keep our property and privileges, we’re playing a very dangerous game. The truth is that conquest trumps not only property rights, it effectively trumps all rights. Match wits with a burnt-out academic if you insist, but let’s not lie to our grandchildren.

Conquest changes everything. Don’t put your grandchildren through it. Build the wall.

Trump Spanks Politicized FBI: Too Busy With Russia Probe to Act on Obvious School Shooter Tips

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fresh off a hospital visit to victims wounded in the Florida school shooting this week, President Donald Trump on Saturday night slammed the FBI, saying the bureau “missed all of the many signals” sent by the shooter because it was “spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.”

Trump said on Twitter: “This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!”

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting at a Florida high school which left 17 dead and 14 wounded, it was revealed that the FBI had been warned five months ago about the shooter, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz.

A video blogger on YouTube notified the FBI in September about an alarming comment on a video he’d posted. “Im going to be a professional school shooter,” read the comment left by a user with the name Nikolas Cruz — the same name of the now-confessed shooter.

But on Thursday, the FBI agent in charge of the Florida shooting probe said the Bureau (make sure you’re sitting down for the next part) could not identify the person who left the comment. (Read more from “Trump Spanks FBI: Too Busy With Russia Probe to Act on School Shooter Tips” HERE)

Trump’s Anger Boils over with Russia Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump vented his anger with the Russia investigation late Saturday night and Sunday morning, declaring that “they are laughing their asses off in Moscow” over the ongoing probe into Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election.

In a remarkable burst of tweets sent from his Mar-a-Lago resort, the president blamed the Obama administration for not doing enough to deter Russia and claimed he never denied the meddling took place — all while undercutting his own national security adviser who said Saturday that the interference is now “beyond dispute.”

“If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams,” Trump tweeted just after 8 a.m. “They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!”

The tweets revealed the depth of Trump’s frustration following special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of more than a dozen Russians accused of meddling in the 2016 election in an effort to boost Trump’s campaign . . .

The president has not criticized Russia for its election-meddling scheme, opting to focus on the ways he believes Mueller’s indictment exonerates his campaign from colluding with the Kremlin. (Read more from “Trump’s Anger Boils over with Russia Probe” HERE)
