‘Either Joe or Hunter’: Trump Says He Wants to Find Real Story Behind White House Cocaine

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said in an interview published Friday that he suspects a member of the Biden family was responsible for leaving a bag of cocaine in the White House in July 2023.

The discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the White House quickly became a national scandal, with speculation running rampant as to who left the drugs inside one of the most secure buildings in the world. Though an official determination was never disclosed to the public, Trump told The Spectator World that he believes “either [former President] Joe [Biden] or Hunter” Biden is responsible.

“So … who actually left the cocaine in the White House?” Ben Domenech, the interviewer for The Spectator World, asked Trump.

“Well, either Joe or Hunter. Could be Joe, too. OK, so that was such a terrible thing because, you know, those bins are very loaded up with … they’re not clean, and they have hundreds and even thousands of fingerprints,” Trump answered. “And when they went to look at it, it was absolutely stone cold, wiped dry. You know that, right?”

The “bins” Trump refers to are small cubbies near a West Wing entrance frequently used by visitors, who are encouraged to store personal items in the small lockers as they tour, according to ABC News. One of these “bins” is where the cocaine was discovered. (Read more from “‘Either Joe or Hunter’: Trump Says He Wants to Find Real Story Behind White House Cocaine” HERE)

Dem Governors Rush to Zelensky’s Defense After Trump Kicks Him Out of White House

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrat governors came to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s defense after he was kicked out of the White House for making “disrespectful” remarks during a meeting with President Donald Trump.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) accused Trump and Vice President JD Vance of having “advanced Russia’s propaganda directly from the White House,” and of “embarrassing the United States on the world stage.”

In a post on X, Shapiro issued a statement criticizing Trump and Vance for having “attacked President Zelenskyy,” adding that they had undermined “the safety and security of America and our national security interests.”

Shapiro noted how “Pennsylvania is the proud home to over 150,000 Ukrainian and Ukrainian American people.”

“I know they, along with countless other Pennsylvanians, watched in shock at the President and Vice President berated President Zelenskyy and advanced Russia’s propaganda directly from the White House,” Shapiro said in his statement. “The Oval Office should be a place where we advance American values — not where we retreat from them. When the President and Vice President attacked President Zelenskyy today, they served to undermine the safety and security of America and our national security interests.”

Shapiro continued to accuse the Trump-Vance administration of having “alienated many of” the United States’ allies.

Report: Trump Expected to Make English America’s Official Language

/1 Comment/in , /by

An executive order President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to sign would establish English as the official language of the United States of America.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on the order Friday:

The executive order would rescind a federal mandate issued by President Bill Clinton that agencies and other recipients of federal funding are required to provide language assistance to non-English speakers, the officials said.

Agencies will still be able to provide documents and services in languages other than English, according to a White House summary of the order viewed by The Wall Street Journal. The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.

It is unclear when Trump is expected to sign the order. The Journal notes that English is already the official language in more than 30 states in the union. (Read more from “Report: Trump Expected to Make English America’s Official Language” HERE)

Top Zelensky Adviser Pushed for Oval Office Mineral Deal Signing — Against Trump Envoy Kellogg’s Advice

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s special envoy to the Ukraine War urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to sign the now-deferred mineral rights deal with Washington during the envoy’s visit to Kyiv last week, but Zelensky’s chief of staff insisted on the Friday Oval Office signing that went badly awry, a senior US official involved with the talks told The Post.

After three days of intense negotiations, retired Gen. Keith Kellogg secured the long-sought agreement with Ukraine that would have provided Washington with 50% of all future proceeds from the European country’s lucrative critical and rare-earth minerals.

“Kellogg and Zelensky had agreed to a deal with one item still to be finalized,” the US official said of the talks that concluded Feb. 21.

As negotiations wrapped up, Zelensky chief of staff Andrii Yermak pushed for the Ukrainian president to join Trump at the White House to sign the agreement.

Kellogg “advised against it, knowing that the relationship [between the presidents] needed to be strengthened” before meeting in-person, according to the official. (Read more from “Top Zelensky Adviser Pushed for Oval Office Mineral Deal Signing — Against Trump Envoy Kellogg’s Advice” HERE)

Trump Hits Socialist Dictator With Consequences for Not Holding His End of the Bargain

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump says he is reversing a Biden-era grant allowing Chevron to operate within Venezuela on Wednesday.

Trump detailed the decision in a lengthy post on Truth Social, stating that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had not upheld his end of the bargain.

“We are hereby reversing the concessions that Crooked Joe Biden gave to Nicolás Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and also having to do with Electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been met by the Maduro regime,” Trump wrote.

“Additionally, the regime has not been transporting the violent criminals that they sent into our Country (the Good Ole’ U.S.A.) back to Venezuela at the rapid pace that they had agreed to,” he added.

“I am therefore ordering that the ineffective and unmet Biden “Concession Agreement” be terminated as of the March 1st option to renew. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued.

Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Phase One” of the Epstein files are being released today but America still apparently won’t have much of the story of the convicted sex offender whose friends included Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, among many others.

That’s because Attorney General Pam Bondi, who released that “Phase One” to reporters on today, confirmed to FBI chief Kash Patel that minions in that agency still are withholding documents from her.

The ongoing process to unveil the evil that was behind Epstein and his circle of friends and their behavior toward young girls that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of trafficking, however, has convinced an adviser to President Trump that more prosecutions are coming.

Habba, an adviser to President Trump, was asked if there would be criminal cases coming.

“Absolutely. I think it would be negligent for us not to. You have to hold individuals who are indeed rapists accountable. We have to have them tried, in my opinion.” (Read more from “Trump Adviser Expects Prosecutions Will Come Because of Epstein Files” HERE)

The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The proposal for a “DOGE dividend,” which would distribute 20% of government savings to taxpayers, has gained support from President Trump and Elon Musk — and now it could potentially be enshrined in law, The Post has learned.

The 28-year-old hedge fund manager behind the idea, James Fishback, told The Post he met with Elon Musk last week and began meeting with lawmakers about his idea earlier this week.

“The president supports this and Elon likes the idea of incentivizing people to report waste, fraud, and abuse,” Fishback told me. “The proposed bill will be coming in the next few days.”

He added, “This approach will save taxpayers even more money — it would compound the returns that doge is finding.”

Under Fishback’s proposal, households that are net taxpayers — those who pay into the government more than they receive in benefits — would receive 20% of all DOGE’s saving. (Read more from “The DOGE Dividend Could Become Law: ‘The Proposed Bill Will Be Coming in the Next Few Days’” HERE)

Trump Says He Can Get a Peace Deal Done for Ukraine as British PM Arrives

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump on Thursday welcomed to the White House British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the second of three world leaders visiting this week, as European and Ukraine leaders seek a seat at the table for peace talks with Moscow.

The leader arrived in an SUV flying both the Stars and Stripes and Union Jack.

When asked by reporters if he could get a peace deal on Ukraine, Mr. Trump replied, “Yes.”

Mr. Starmer’s trip comes just two days after French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Washington and ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s expected visit on Friday. All three leaders are conferring with Mr. Trump to air their concerns that his aggressive efforts to end Russia’s war on Ukraine will result in conceding too much to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Since returning to the White House last month, Mr. Trump has angered U.S. allies in Europe by with his overtures to Mr. Putin, hurling insults at Mr. Zelenskyy by calling him a “dictator,” and insisting Ukraine repay the U.S. for its financial support.

Trump Encourages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ‘Fire Every Single’ General Involved in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal

/7 Comments/in , /by

President Trump argued on Wednesday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should “fire every single” US military general involved in the Biden administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

The Pentagon chief was seated to Trump’s left during a Cabinet meeting at the White House, when a reporter asked about the current employment status of the generals tasked with organizing the August 2021 US exit from Afghanistan.

“I’m not going to tell this man what to do but I will say that if I had his place, I’d fire every single one of them, Pete,” Trump responded.

Hegseth jumped in to note that under his leadership, the Department of Defense is conducting “a complete review of every single aspect of what happened with the botched withdrawal of Afghanistan and plan to have full accountability.”

“We’re taking a very different view, obviously, than the previous administration,” the defense secretary continued, noting Trump’s nomination of retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine to serve as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “And there will be full accountability.” (Read more from “Trump Encourages Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to ‘Fire Every Single’ General Involved in Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal” HERE)

‘There’s No Reason To Spend $1 Trillion On The Military’—Trump’s Statement Sends US Defense Stocks Spiraling While Europe’s Surge

/3 Comments/in , /by

U.S. defense stocks have taken a major hit after President Donald Trump suggested the country could cut its military budget in half. Meanwhile, European defense companies are thriving as investors expect a boost in spending across the region.

Trump on Feb. 13 floated the idea of significantly reducing the U.S. defense budget, which currently hovers around $1 trillion. He indicated plans to meet with China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin to discuss global military spending cuts. “At some point, when things settle down, I’m going to meet with China and I’m going to meet with Russia, in particular those two, and I’m going to say there’s no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military … and I’m going to say we can spend this on other things,” Trump said.

Markets reacted quickly, with major U.S. defense stocks dropping. Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC), General Dynamics (NYSE:GD), and Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX) all slipped on the news. But this downturn is just a continuation. They have been in freefall following reports that the Department of Defense is preparing for spending cuts ahead of an audit by the Department of Government Efficiency, championed by Elon Musk.

While U.S. companies struggle, European defense stocks are soaring. Investors are betting on increased military budgets across Europe as the region faces pressure to boost its own defense spending. Rheinmetall saw a surge of 21.89% in the last 30 days and Thales climbed 19.23%. Others, like BAE Systems and Airbus, saw an increase but later stabilized.
