Aides Are Blocking Key Info From Reaching Trump, Congressman Says

President Donald Trump is being blocked from knowing he can pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in exchange for information vindicating Russia of hacking allegations, according to Republican California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.

Trump told reporters Sunday that he has “never heard” of a potential deal with Assange.

“I think the president’s answer indicates that there is a wall around him that is being created by people who do not want to expose this fraud that there was collusion between our intelligence community and the leaders of the Democratic Party,” Rohrabacher told The Daily Caller Tuesday in a phone interview.

Rohrabacher met with Assange in August at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has lived in asylum since 2012 due to now-dropped sexual assault charges in Sweden. However, American authorities are reportedly still investigating Assange for his role in disseminating thousands of classified U.S. documents.

Dem Senator Is ’99 Percent’ Certain These Trump Associates Will Face Charges

A Democratic member of the Senate Judiciary Committee says he is “99 percent certain” that indictments will be handed down for former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

“I’m about 99 percent sure there will be some criminal charges from this investigation,” Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal told Politico on Tuesday.

Blumenthal said that Flynn and Manafort “are the most prominent” Trump associates who are likely to be indicted, “but there may well be others” charged as part of a sprawling investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Blumenthal also told Politico that he is less certain that Trump will face any charges related to the investigation, which has expanded to include a look at whether Trump obstructed justice by firing James Comey as FBI director in May.

California Billboard Urges Drivers to Impeach Trump

It could be argued that calls for President Donald Trump’s impeachment have become more “California” than blockbuster movies, surfing and the Pacific Coast Highway. In June, California Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman filed an article of impeachment against Trump, and in July thousands gathered in Los Angeles to call for Trump’s impeachment.

On Monday, a group in the San Francisco Bay area upped the ante in its bid to impeach the president, using a billboard to let its thoughts be known. Drivers near the Bay Bridge were greeted with a billboard of Trump’s face next to the word “impeach.”

A California-based super PAC named Courage Campaign is responsible for the billboard, which can be seen below in a tweet from KTVU.

Back in 2013 the organization gained notoriety after spearheading a petition and rally campaigning to prohibit the sale of assault weapons after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

The 1.4-million-member “progressive” group actively urges followers to engage in “courageous resistance,” which involves sending letters to Congress opposing the American Health Care Act and refraining from eating in an effort to show solidarity with farmers who make a living off of people buying the food they farm.

Courage Campaign’s executive director Eddie Kurtz said in a news release Monday that impeaching Trump is a “no-brainer.”

“From using his position as president to enhance his personal bank account via foreign interests — in direct violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause — to revealing classified information to Russia and openly admitting that he fired FBI Director James Comey in order to obstruct the Russia investigation, the case for the impeachment of Donald Trump on legal grounds is a no-brainer,” Kurtz said.

Kurtz also blamed Trump’s supposed defense of “white supremacy” and his supposed “misogynistic rhetoric” as factors that have led to the “moral imperative to act.”

“The United States’ constitutional system is one of delicate, deliberately designed checks and balances, and it is Congress’ duty to keep the president from eroding the rule of law,” Kurtz added.

“Such flagrant violations must not go unchecked. Continuing to let Trump’s trespasses go unaddressed plainly and simply undermines the very foundations of America’s democracy. Congress must show Americans the values that our country stands for by taking steps to impeach President Trump,” he said.

According to Newsweek, the billboard was paid for by members of the the Courage Campaign and via a national crowdfunding campaign. (For more from the author of “California Billboard Urges Drivers to Impeach Trump” please click HERE)

California Dreamin’: Cali Demands APOLOGY From Trump? Fat Chance!

The state legislature in the People’s Republic of California has passed a resolution that demands Trump “publicly apologize to all Americans for his racist and bigoted behavior.”

Yes, these are the kinds of constructive bills California lawmakers are coming up with to fix their insolvent state. (Next on the agenda is making it impossible to deport illegals who commit felonies!)

The alleged basis for Trump’s “racist and bigoted behavior” was when he condemned “in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides” in the wake of the Charlottesville clashes.

If that made you scratch your head, it’s because it makes no sense; most rational people don’t equate condemning “hatred, bigotry, and violence” with “racist and bigoted behavior.”

But the green commies in California don’t seem to get that, for some reason. Maybe it’s time for them to lay off the pot.

In a FREE White House Brief, I explain all the terrific things Trump is doing to improve the country and shouldn’t apologize for. Watch:

Trump: We Face a North Korean Threat Because Clinton, Obama, and Others Failed

President Donald Trump warned Friday night that the U.S. must find a way to stop North Korea because “we can’t have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place.”

“Rocket man should have been handled a long time ago,” the president said at a rally in Alabama, appearing to suggest that past American presidents — Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama — should have dealt with the North Korea threat before it got to this point.

Trump has also called out Hillary Clinton in response to her criticisms of his North Korea policy, accusing her of failing to act as secretary of state while North Korea developed nuclear weapons.

Clinton tried to pay the regime in exchange for a nuclear freeze while North Korea secretly processed nuclear material, Bush labeled North Korea part of the axis of evil damaging relations beyond repair, and Obama pursued a policy of strategic patience while North Korea conducted four nuclear tests and dozens of missile tests.

Trump did not identify Bush by name; rather, he said that he wouldn’t mention the Republican. Under Bush, North Korea tested its first nuclear weapon, although the weapon was limited in its explosive power.

North Korea has twice successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, fired intermediate-range ballistic missiles over Japan, and tested a suspected hydrogen bomb.

The North Korean foreign minister suggested Thursday that the rogue regime, in response to Trump’s threat to “totally destroy” North Korea at the United Nations General Assembly, might detonate a staged thermonuclear weapon in the Pacific.

“I’m sure he’s listening,” Trump said Friday of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, who personally responded to the president’s U.N. speech, threatening to rein in Trump “with fire.”

“Maybe something gets worked out and maybe it doesn’t,” Trump explained.

Earlier Friday, the president called Kim a madman, vowing to take the young dictator to task, according to The Daily Caller.

Trump and Kim are locked in a battle, a war of words, with each holding nuclear weapons capable of killing millions of people. The threat is becoming more alarming with each rhetorical exchange.

Will Trump Open U.S. Doors to Another Country’s Muslims?

By Leo Hohmann. This is pack journalism at its best, a virtual media blitz on a topic few Americans know anything about in a land faraway . . .

So what is it that has CNN, Reuters, PBS, the Associated Press, and Politico all racing to Burma to cover?

They can’t wait to tell the heart-wrenching stories of Burma’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims . . .

The media onslaught, which critics say only tells half the story, has now caught the attention of the Trump administration.

Vice President Mike Pence used a high-level United Nations Security Council meeting Thursday to plead the case for the Rohingya, calling on the world body to do more to help the poor, beleaguered Muslims. (Read more from “Will Trump Open U.S. Doors to Another Country’s Muslims?” HERE)

Rohingya Refugees to Receive $32 Million From U.S.

By John Haltiwanger. The U.S. government will provide $32 million in aid to help the hundreds of thousands Rohingya refugees who’ve fled Myanmar since late August, the State Department said Wednesday.

The aid includes “emergency shelter, food security, nutritional assistance, health assistance, psychosocial support, water, sanitation and hygiene, livelihoods, social inclusion, non-food items, disaster and crisis risk reduction, restoring family links” for more than 400,000 Rohingya who have fled to Bangladesh or been displaced within Myanmar, the State Department said in a statement.

The help from the Trump administration came as a surprise because the president did not refer to the Rohingya in his United Nations remarks on Tuesday, nor in a brief chat with Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday.

Donald Trump: I Might Have Made a Mistake by Endorsing Luther Strange

President Donald Trump admitted to Alabama voters Friday that he might have made a mistake by endorsing appointed Alabama Sen. Luther Strange in the Republican primary.

“We have to be loyal in life,” Trump said. “There is something called loyalty, and I might have made a mistake and I’ll be honest, I might have made a mistake.”

Trump appeared in Alabama for a campaign rally for Strange, despite polling showing him still lagging behind his primary challenger conservative Judge Roy Moore.

Trump predicted that if Strange lost, his political opponents and the media would cite it as a big loss for Trump, but that he wanted to repay the appointed senator for his loyal support in the Senate. (Read more from “Donald Trump: I Might Have Made a Mistake by Endorsing Luther Strange” HERE)

Trump on NFL Anthem Kneelers: ‘Get That Son of a B**** off the Field’

President Donald Trump declared at his Alabama rally on Friday night that he would love to see an NFL owner fire anyone who disrespects the U.S. flag and national anthem, declaring, “get that son of a bitch off the field!”

“Luther [Strange] and I, and everyone in this arena tonight, are unified by the same great American values,” Trump said at the rally. “We’re proud of our country. We respect our flag.”

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he’s fired!” Trump exclaimed. “He’s fired!”

Obama’s Top ‘Spy’ Drops Bombshell About Trump

By Bob Unruh. It was only a few months ago that James Clapper, President Obama’s director of national intelligence, issued a flat denial when asked if he knew of a FISA court order to wiretap the Trump campaign in 2016.

Now he’s abruptly changing his story, admitting that Trump could have been recorded on wiretaps.

Clapper said in an interview with CNN Wednesday night it’s possible that Trump was recorded as part of the government’s surveillance of Paul Manafort, who served briefly as Trump’s campaign manager.

Clapper continued to claim Wednesday that he wasn’t aware of a FISA warrant against Manafort.

But when asked by Don Lemon if it was “possible the president was picked up in a conversation with Paul Manafort,” Clapper said, “It’s certainly conceivable.” (Read more from “Obama’s Top ‘Spy’ Drops Bombshell About Trump” HERE)

Trump Vindicated? Manafort Wiretapping Report Lends Credence to Claim

By Fox News. A new report that former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was wiretapped under secret court order could bolster President Trump’s explosive March claim about surveillance under the previous administration, after months of media mockery.

The CNN report said the surveillance of Manafort continued into early 2017, covering the period before and after the November presidential election. This reportedly covered a stretch when Manafort was known to talk to Trump, though it’s unclear whether Trump’s discussions were ever picked up.

Also unclear is where the wiretapping occurred. Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower, as well as a home in Alexandria, Va.

But the report has forced the media to give a second look at Trump’s widely derided claims this past March that former President Barack Obama had his “wires tapped” at Trump Tower. The hashtag “TrumpVindicated” was taking off on Twitter Tuesday morning. (Read more from “Trump Vindicated? Manafort Wiretapping Report Lends Credence to Claim” HERE)

Trump Judicial Nominee Said Transgender Children Are Part of ‘Satan’s Plan’

In a pair of 2015 speeches, President Donald Trump’s nominee for a federal judgeship in Texas described transgender children as evidence of “Satan’s plan,” lamented that states were banning conversion therapy and argued that sanctioning same-sex marriage would lead to polygamy and bestiality.

Jeff Mateer, the current first assistant attorney general of Texas, was serving at the time as general counsel of the First Liberty Institute, a religious liberty advocacy group known before 2016 as the Liberty Institute. He faced criticism from LGBT rights groups for his work with the organization, such as opposing the expansion of nondiscrimination protections to LGBT people in the city of Plano. If confirmed by the US Senate, he will serve on the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.

In a May 2015 speech, titled “The Church and Homosexuality,” Mateer discussed a Colorado lawsuit in which the parents of a transgender girl sued her school for preventing her from using the bathroom of her choice.
