Raskin Caught On Tape Explaining Democrats’ SHOCKING Plot To Keep Trump Out Of Office

Congressman Jamie Raskin has (D-MD) been caught on tape detailing a controversial plan to prevent former President Donald Trump from assuming the presidency, even if he is selected by American voters. The video captured Raskin discussing what he sees as a constitutional mechanism to disqualify Trump.

Raskin specifically referenced Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, expressing a chilling determination to use Congress as a barrier against Trump’s reinstatement. “What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly. And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they’re just disappearing with a magic wand, as if it doesn’t exist, even though it could not be clearer what it’s stating,” Raskin said.

“They want to kick it to Congress. So it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified and then we need bodyguards.”

Raskin went on to criticize the Supreme Court Justices for their alleged reluctance to interpret the 14th Amendment as he believes they should. “For everybody in civil war conditions all because the nine justices, not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not that much work to do, a huge staff, great protection, simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th amendment means,” he said.

Supreme Court Rejects Missouri’s Lawsuit Against New York Over Trump Prosecution– dailycaller.com

Excerpt from dailycaller.com

The Supreme Court rejected Missouri’s lawsuit against New York over the prosecution of former President Donald Trump on Monday.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued the state of New York in July, alleging its prosecution of Trump violated the First Amendment right of Missouri citizens to hear from a 2024 presidential candidate. In a brief order, the Supreme Court declined to allow Missouri to file its complaint and dismissed its motion for preliminary relief.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have allowed Missouri to file its complaint, according to the order.

“No doubt it is true that the Constitution would not have tolerated a future Confederate state gagging and sentencing Abraham Lincoln in 1860 to interfere with his campaign for the Presidency,” Missouri’s lawsuit stated. “Doing so obviously would have interfered with federal interests the same way Maryland’s attempt to tax the Bank of the United States did 40 years earlier.”

“Constitutionally, it is no different with New York’s attempt to use coercive power in the form of a gag order and impending sentence to interfere with Donald Trump’s campaign,” the lawsuit continued.

New York appeals court maintains gag order in Trump hush-money trial – JURIST– news.google.com

Excerpt from news.google.com

A panel of the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division on Thursday ruled to maintain the gag order in former president Donald Trump’s hush-money trial. While Trump was found guilty on May 3o of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, the court upheld Justice Juan Merchan’s decision to continue the restraining order until after sentencing has occurred.

The appeals court found that “the fair administration of justice necessarily includes sentencing” and that “threats received by District Attorney staff after the jury verdict continued to pose a significant and imminent threat.” The court concluded that paragraph (b) of the gag order “shall remain in effect until the imposition of sentence.”

On June 25, Justice Merchan partially allowed a Trump challenge of the gag order’s operation post-trial. That decision terminated the portions of the gag order pursuant to making statements about witnesses and prospective jurors. However, Justice Merchan maintained paragraph (b) of the order, preventing Trump from:

Making or directing others to make public statements about (1) counsel in the case other than the District Attorney, (2) members of the court’s staff and the District Attorney’s staff, or (3) the family members of any counsel, staff member, the Court or the District Attorney, if those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with, or to cause others to materially interfere with, counsel’s or staffs work in this criminal case, or with the knowledge that such interference is likely to result.

Mississippi Election Ballots Eligible Even 5 Days After Voting Day

pgnewser July 30, 2024 0

Mississippi’s 2024 election could theoretically experience a minimum of a 5-day delay in being determined if a ruling by U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. is upheld. That ruling holds that a Mississippi law allowing ballots to be received up to 5 days after the election to be counted is perfectly constitutional.

The judge exclaimed “So if one federal statute implicitly allows post-election receipt of overseas ballots mailed by election day, that statute is presumed not to offend against the election-day statutes, from which one may infer that the similar Mississippi statute on post-election receipt is likewise inoffensive.”

A federal judge ruled on July 28 that a Mississippi law allowing ballots received up to five days after an election to be counted is lawful.

U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. referenced the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which regulates ballots from citizens living abroad.

Poll of 2020 Voters Finds 9% Were Not Americans

pgnewser July 30, 2024 0

A Rasmussen poll reveals nine percent of 2020 polled voters identified as being non-citizens. This group was culled from a call-list for “likely voters.” 2,466 people answered the poll, all of which became eligible when they were asked if they intended to vote in 2024.

A new poll finds that nine percent of “likely voters” who said they voted in 2020 are ineligible to vote because they are non-citizens.

The recent Rasmussen poll of 2,466 people who said they would likely vote in 2024 and who admitted voting in 2020 showed a shocking statistic.

Rasmussen asked these voters is they are citizens and 131 out of 2,466 said “no.” And 91 said they were not sure if they were citizens. Hint: if you “aren’t sure,” you’re NOT a citizen.

Biden Drops Out, Kamala Clinches Nomination, While Early Polls are Mixed

pgnewser July 24, 2024 0

On Sunday, July 21, 2024, at 1:46PM ET, Joe Biden let the world know he was bowing out of the Presidential race for “the good of the country and the good of the party.” He let the world know through X. This followed an announcement earlier that week he was diagnosed with having Covid-19.

Within two days of the announcement being made, Democrat delegates quickly rallied around Biden’s endorsement, Vice President Kamala Harris, the new presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party. Biden disappeared for four days before emerging Tuesday, July 23, in a video showing him weakly walking across a tar mac and up a small flight of stairs into Air Force One.

Early polls are mixed, with some showing Kamala taking an early, though small, lead, while others show Trump extended the lead he had over Biden.

Excerpt from freebeacon.com

Without earning a single vote cast by the American public, Vice President Kamala Harris won enough support from Democratic delegates to secure her party’s presidential nomination less than 48 hours after her octogenarian boss dropped out of the race.

Over 2,660 delegates said they back the former California attorney general, pushing her way over the 1,976 votes needed to clinch the nomination, an Associated Press survey found. No other potential candidates were named in the survey as an alternative to Harris.

Since Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris, his VP has gained support from other notable congressional Democrats and party leaders, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Biden ally Rep. Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.), former president Bill Clinton, and his wife, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who ran to be the first female president against Donald Trump in 2016. George Clooney, who wrote an op-ed in the New York Times that called on Biden to leave the race, also endorsed Harris.

Democratic delegates immediately began gathering support for the vice president following Biden’s announcement. Just hours after Biden ended his reelection campaign, Democratic National Committee members circulated a letter pushing their support for Harris as the next presidential nominee.

Although we’re still in the early stages of the so-called “Kamala Harris campaign,” initial polling would suggest President Trump does as well, if not better, in a head-to-head contest against the vice president as he did against Joe Biden.

As it stands, Kamala Harris’ poll numbers are abysmal.  She currently polls as the most unpopular vice president since the advent of modern polling.  Her 32 percent net favorability (compared with a 49% unfavorability rating) is lower than both Dan Quayle and Dick Cheney, the architect of the universally despised Iraq War.

A recent poll by HarrisX/Forbes gives President Trump a nine-point lead over Harris, 50% to 41%, higher than the lead that same poll gave him over Biden, 48% to 40%.  When broken down by demographic group, the 45th President’s numbers look even more promising: HarrisX/Forbes gives President Trump a +15-point advantage over Harris among Independents, 48% to 33%, and a staggering +19-point lead, 58% to 39%, among voters between the ages of 18 and 34.

Kamala Harris Still Helping Antifa Thugs Go Free

pgnewser July 24, 2024 0

Kamala Harris is still actively raising money for Minnesota Freedom Fund, an organization that bails out violent criminals, especially ones burning down cities and looting stores in the name of “racial” and/or “LGBTQ+” JUSTICE!  Harris’ tweet from June 1, 2020, declared “If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.”

The fund’s own director at the time, identified as Lewin, revealed the principles of the fund, saying “I often don’t even look at a charge when I bail someone out. I will see it after I pay the bill because it is not the point. The point is the system we are fighting.”

Minnesota Freedom Fund posted bail for rapists and other violent criminals

Vice President Kamala Harris is actively raising money for a bail fund that busts violent criminals from jail as her nascent presidential campaign signals her candidacy will lean heavily on her roots as a tough-on-crime former prosecutor.

Harris urged her followers to donate to the Minnesota Freedom Fund in June 2020 as Black Lives Matter rioters wreaked havoc in Minneapolis in the days following George Floyd’s death. Harris’s fundraising efforts helped the fund raise more than $41 million in 2020, but the group only used a small fraction of that bounty—$210,000—to bail rioters out of jail. The remaining funds helped post bail for violent criminals such as Christopher Boswell, a twice-convicted rapist who was freed from jail in 2020 pending kidnapping and sexual assault charges after the Minnesota Freedom Fund paid $350,000 for his release.

“The last time we were down there, the clerk said, ‘we hate it when you bail out these sex offenders, that is what they said,’” former Minnesota Freedom Fund interim executive director Greg Lewin told Fox9 in August 2020.

The Minnesota Freedom Fund continues to reap dividends from Harris’s fundraising efforts well into 2024. The vice president’s fundraising page for the group, which contains a photo of a triumphant Harris before a crowd of supporters alongside her 2020 campaign logo, is active and accepted a contribution from this reporter on Monday morning.

Meta Unshackles Trump from Facebook, Instagram Chains

pgnewser July 16, 2024 0

Mark Zuckerberg has decided to remove all the restriction on President Donald J Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, which were restored two years ago to limited status after they had been banned on January 6, 2021.

The move came just before the assassination attempt on Trump, but no doubt Facebook’s decision to follow the DNC party narrative that January 6 was an insurrection led by President Trump in an effort to overthrow the election (as opposed to legally challenging the results, which is what the President was doing) helped contribute significantly to the climate that has created such violent action in the first place.

Excerpt from tribune.com.pk

Facebook and Instagram parent company, Meta, is moving to remove restrictions on former President Donald Trump’s accounts, according to a report that was published Friday.

The limitations were imposed after the end of a two-year ban linked to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the US Capitol by Trump’s supporters. But a Facebook spokesperson told the Axios news website that it is reversing course to ensure fairness between candidates heading into November’s White House race.

The limitations on Trump’s account included stricter penalties if he violated the company’s rules.

“In assessing our responsibility to allow political expression, we believe that the American people should be able to hear from the nominees for president on the same basis,” Meta’s President of Global Affairs Nick Clegg said in a statement.

Trump Chooses Vance as VP

pgnewser July 16, 2024 0

Donald J Trump chose Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate on the first day of the Republican National Convention, July 15, 2024. Vance was once a virulent critic of Trump but had changed his tune, becoming one of Trump’s staunchest supporters. Vance is 39, a stark contrast to the age of his running mate, Trump, as well as Biden.

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

MILWAUKEE — Anticipation around former President Donald Trump tapping Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his vice presidential nominee not only concerned the next four months before the 2024 election and the next four years, should he and Vance win in November.

But Trump’s decision on Monday, announced during the opening day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, could also define the GOP for the four or eight years after that should Vance become the party’s prohibitive favorite in 2028.

In tapping Vance, 39, the youngest vice president since eventual President Richard Nixon, Trump has provided his Make America Great Again movement and America First policy platform with an opportunity to continue after his second and last term, instead of picking a more centrist, compromise candidate as an appeal to more establishment Republicans.

Trump, a legacy-minded real estate mogul and marketing expert who rose to national prominence before The Apprentice TV series because of his branded buildings, has anointed an heir apparent in tapping Vance, according to Republican strategist Cesar Conda.

GOP House Passes SAVE ACT over the Objection of the Democrat Party

pgnewser July 11, 2024 0

A bill that would make it mandatory for all Federal elections to require Voter ID to assure each person voting was who they claim they are AND is a U.S. citizen passed the House by a vote of 221-198, with all Republicans voting for it and only 5 Democrats joining them.

Go to Article
Excerpt from trendingpoliticsnews.com

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation that would expand on and enforce proof-of-citizenship requirements in federal elections. President Biden has vowed to veto the legislation if it is passed in the Senate, however, while Democrats have slammed the bill as “racist” and “xenophobic.”

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act passed through the House by a vote of 221-198 on Wednesday, with five Democrats voting in favor of the Republican-led bill.

If enacted, the legislation will require state election officials to ask about citizenship before providing voter registration forms. There is currently no requirement to provide proof of citizenship in order to receive federal voting forms. According to a recent report from the New York Post, this has led to non-citizens receiving voting forms in 49 states.

The SAVE Act would also allow state officials to accept a wide variety of documents that will make it easy for citizens to register to vote in federal elections, provide states with access to federal agency databases so they can remove noncitizens from voter rolls and confirm citizenship for individuals lacking proof of citizenship, and direct the Department of Homeland Security to determine whether to conduct removal proceedings if a noncitizen has been identified as having registered to vote in federal elections.

Polling Report Shows Biden Tanking in Key Battleground States

pgnewser July 10, 2024 0

A Cook Political Report shows that the freefall President Joe Biden was in before the debate is only accelerating post-debate, as most of the battleground state are leaning Trump, with only three now in toss-up status. This follows news that both New Jersey and New York State are now considered contestable, though they still mostly lead Biden (with one New Jersey poll showing Trump slightly ahead).

Excerpt from pjmedia.com

For months now, analysts have considered the 2024 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden a toss-up because national polling has generally shown the race to be within a couple of points. As it stands right now, Trump has a 3.3-point lead in the RealClearPolitics national average.

The Electoral College, however, is a different story. While Trump generally had the lead in the battleground states, his lead was sometimes razor-thin. For example, Trump and Biden were tied in Wisconsin before the debate. Now, Trump has a 2.2-point lead in the RCP average for the state — his highest lead during the campaign. Biden’s position has become worse all around, and a new update from the Cook Political Report is absolutely devastating for Biden.

“The notion that the presidential [race] is a Toss Up was a stretch even before the debate,” Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report wrote in a post on X/Twitter. “Today, Trump has a clear advantage over Biden and a much more plausible path to 270 Electoral votes.”

President Joe Biden appears committed to blocking the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would mandate proof of American citizenship for voter registration in federal elections.

The SAVE Act, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and co-sponsored by over 100 House Republicans, proposes that state election officials must ensure voter registration applicants provide proof of American citizenship before being added to the national voter rolls.


“Federal law has been interpreted to prohibit states from checking to see if you’re a citizen even though, technically, the law says you must be a citizen,” Rep. Chip Roy said.

This week, the Biden administration issued a statement regarding the SAVE Act, indicating their intention to prevent it from becoming law if it reaches the president’s desk.

Excerpt from www.rawstory.com

There’s a key reason why Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) could be a tantalizing pick for former President Donald Trump’s running mate: GOP megadonor Ken Griffin.

According to The Daily Mail, longtime Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski says that “If Sen. Rubio is the choice there are plenty of donors I’m sure will come along – including Ken Griffin, allegedly.”

 

Griffin, a hedge fund tycoon estimated to be worth $37 billion, backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over Trump in the primary, who went on to flame out with a botched campaign. He was outspoken against Trump in 2022, calling him a “three-time loser” and saying the GOP should “move on” from him.

Rubio being on the ticket, however, could reportedly sway Griffin, who moved his company, Citadel, from Chicago to Miami in recent years, unlocking a deep source of campaign funding for GOP PACs.

A new poll spells doom for Democrats as they try to smear President Donald Trump with a “convicted felon” label ahead of the critical November elections.

As Trump prepares for a rematch against President Joe Biden, the new poll from the Associated Press (AP) shows that Americans are more concerned about the Democrats’ weaponization of government.

The AP poll shows that Americans are against jailing Trump.

However, the majority of respondents do approve of Hunter Biden serving prison time for felony gun crimes.

Biden and the Democrats have relentlessly attacked Trump as a “convicted felon” since he became the first U.S. president to be found guilty of a crime in May.

Joe Biden and the Democrats (as well as their media lapdogs) keep trying to gaslight us all into thinking he is “fixing” the economy, but the truth is that the U.S. misery index has soared over his horrid four years in office.

The misery index was lower under Trump than it had been for a long time, but under Biden it has risen to new heights (or depths, if you will).

The only year it was up during Trump’s term was in 2020 when the scamdemic hit the nation. And then it was at 9.35. But before that, it was well under seven. and the lowest was the 5.44 seen in 2019. This was evidence that what Trump was doing was reversing the mess Obama had made.

New York has essentially been a blue state for the past two decades, however in recent weeks it has become clear that this election season, it is in play for Republicans. Four years after Joe Biden bested Donald Trump there by 23 points in polling, polls have shown that the gap is narrowing following Biden’s miserable debate performanc.

Many Democratic allies of the president in the state have voiced their concerns about the possibility their party may lose ground. Few, however, have called on Biden to step down, with the most prominent politicians making it clear they still plan on backing him come November.

As Politico reports, a number of Democratic Party officials past and present have called on Biden to accept that New York is not as secure as it was during the last election, and spend more of his time and money there. While Biden was recently in the Hamptons for a private fundraiser, he has been urged to try and connect with everyday voters, as Trump did when he held a massive rally in the Bronx. On the night Trump attended a wake for a fallen NYPD officer, Biden partied at a tony, celeb-studded fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall.

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

Billionaire and top Democrat donor Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, has been revealed to be funding a lawsuit to silence election reporting. Hoffman is the same Democrat donor who funded a “Russian-style” disinformation campaign in 2017, financially backed E. Jean Carroll’s suspicious lawsuit against Donald Trump, and visited pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.

Hoffman is investing millions in Smartmatic, the electronic tabulator company suing Fox News and Newsmax for defamation following the 2020 election, according to The Washington Post. Hoffman said he intends to help keep the company afloat, as it has been pursuing expensive legal retribution against the outlets for their election reporting.

In a statement to The Washington Post, Hoffman claimed “Smartmatic became a target of the defamatory campaign to overturn [Trump’s] defeat.”

Fox and Newsmax hosted commentators who aired concerns that tabulators were not secure, were vulnerable to voter fraud, and had possibly changed Trump votes to Biden votes. Smartmatic alleges that hosting these discussions constituted defamation. Fox settled a suit with Dominion Voting last year over similar allegations.

New polling in Arizona’s hotly contested U.S. Senate race is showing a path to victory for firebrand conservative Kari Lake after she remained mired on the losing side of the numbers for months.

Lake, who ran for governor in 2022 with President Trump’s endorsement, now leads her likely Democratic rival, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) by two percent, according to an analysis conducted by The Hill. As the outlet notes, early polling gave a leg up to Gallego, but Lake for months has been hammering home the message that the uncontrollable flood of migrants across the state’s southern border is the result of his enabling of President Biden’s immigration policies. The state went for President Trump by 3.5% in 2016 and was narrowly carried by President Joe Biden by 0.3% four years later.

A new poll shows Vice President Kamala Harris has a better shot than President Joe Biden at defeating Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The survey, conducted by the Democratic firm Bendixen & Amandi, shows Biden slightly behind Trump, 42 to 43 per cent, with Harris inching past the former president 42 to 41 per cent.

The eyes of the world are on Biden as he hosts the Nato summit in Washington DC amid concerns about his fitness to contest the election and serve another term in office and fresh calls for him to quit the 2024 race.

Meanwhile, Trump’s recent denial that he knows anything about Project 2025, a 900-page proposal by the Heritage Foundation think-tank for a radical reconfiguring of the US federal government to suit hard-line conservatives, has been ridiculed by former adviser to Mike Pence, Olivia Troye, who named ex-Trump administration figures involved and said she sat in on those policy meetings.

Election Integrity Board Selects FBI Agent Exposed by Twitter Files

An FBI Agent who also served as a Twitter lawyer and a liaison between the government and Twitter in their joint venture to interfere with the 2020 election has been selected to be part of an Election Integrity Board. Jim Baker was selected to be part of the National Task Force for Election Crisis, most likely to help create it, not prevent it.

Excerpt from www.newsbusters.org

An FBI agent and Twitter lawyer who previously worked to censor election-related free speech has now joined a national election task force—just in time for the 2024 presidential election.

Former FBI agent Jim Baker, whose bio appears on the National Task Force for Election Crises, might be engaging in more election interference.

The National Task Force for Election Crises claims to work on securing elections and preventing fraud, including by rapid censorship of supposed disinformation. Baker’s tie to the group is particularly concerning because Baker previously helped coordinate the censorship industrial complex built up between federal government agencies and Big Tech companies like Twitter.

Baker’s Task Force bio brags about his career, including roles as the FBI’s general counsel and the Justice Department’s senior staffer and associate deputy attorney general.

During his time at the FBI, Baker helped initiatethe bureau’s investigation of former President Donald Trump’s supposed ties with Russia. What the profile does not mention is Baker’s role at Twitter, where he was allegedly complicitin election interfering censorship.

Before being fired by Twitter (now X) owner Elon Musk, Baker was still reviewing the Twitter Files and even complicated the release of information on how Twitter censored the 2020 Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

RNC Releases Trump-Approved Bare-Bones Platform Targeting Independents

pgnewser July 9, 2024 0

The Republican National Committee (RNC) released the party’s official 2024 platform on Monday, July 8, 2024. The platform focused on the economy, restoring election integrity, dealing with illegal immigration, and restoring a strong pro-American foreign policy. It noticeably de-emphasized the pro-life statement of the 2020 platform, leading some Pro-Life groups concerned.

The platform seems designed to capture as broad a base as possibly, potentially serving independents first and foremost by addressing economic and security needs over cultural ones (such as gay marriage and abortion, though the platform does include a pledge to end wokeness in all federally funded institutions).

Excerpt from redstate.com

 

On Monday the RNC’s Platform Committee adopted Donald Trump’s platform as the Republican Party platform for 2024 – and it’s been slimmed down from 66 pages to 20 bullet points.

Trump’s major themes of securing the border and ending the migrant crime epidemic, requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote, strengthening the military, bringing the manufacturing industry back to the United States, and ending the weaponization of government are featured prominently. The platform also opposes any cuts to Social Security and Medicare, including opposition to raising the retirement age, and proposes middle class tax cuts and the “no tax on tips” point that Trump’s repeatedly brought up at rallies. It also emphasizes rebuilding America’s cities and making them “safe and clean” again.

As has been anticipated, the platform is silent on abortion and gay marriage, though the ongoing battle against radical gender ideology and sexualization of children is addressed in two bullet points:

With just a week until the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where former President Donald Trump is expected to be renominated as the Republican presidential candidate, the GOP has officially adopted a new platform that reinforces Trump’s deep influence on the party.

Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee announced the approval of the 2024 Republican Party Platform, a robust agenda that starkly contrasts with the “record of weakness, failure, and dishonesty” of the current administration under Joe Biden. The platform outlined Trump’s blueprint for his potential second term, with a return to his “America First” policies.

The platform accuses past politicians of selling out American interests through unfavorable trade deals and neglecting national security, contributing to a broad range of domestic issues. Trump’s 2024 platform is reminiscent of his 2016 campaign promises, focusing heavily on economic growth, job creation, and a revival of American manufacturing. Trump also blamed the Biden administration for a host of woes including “raging inflation, open borders, rampant crime,” and a decline in global stability.

Key promises in the 2024 GOP Platform included:

  • Sealing the border and halting the “migrant invasion.”
  • Carrying out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
  • Ending inflation and enhancing affordability for Americans.
  • Reclaiming the title as the top global energy producer.
  • Transforming the U.S. into a manufacturing superpower, curtailing outsourcing.
  • Implementing significant tax cuts for workers and eliminating taxes on tips.
  • Defending constitutional rights including freedom of speech, religion, and gun ownership.
  • Aiming to prevent global conflicts and promising to build a comprehensive missile defense system.
  • Overhauling federal educational funding to exclude schools that promote what the GOP considers radical ideologies.
  • Ensuring election security through measures like voter ID laws and same-day voting.

Black Radio Host Fired for Exposing Biden Team’s Pre-Interview Question Selections

pgnewser July 8, 2024 0

After the debate debacle caused doubts about President Biden’s competency, he was rushed to do interviews to show he is perfectly fine. One of those interviews was with Philadelphia radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who exposed afterwards that she was given 8 questions ahead of time she should select from.

After her disclosure, she resigned after being encouraged to do so from her position at WURD radio, with the president and CEO of the radio station, Sara Lomax, saying “The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately.”

President Joe Biden’s media campaign is under fire after a radio host revealed damning information that doesn’t help his case. 

CNN reporter Victor Blackwell pointed out that two separate radio hosts in two different states asked almost identical questions during their interview with Biden. 

Philadelphia radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders revealed that Biden’s media team provided a list of questions to approve prior to the interview. She said she picked four pre-written questions from a list of eight submitted to her by the White House.

“Okay, so, the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the interview?” Blackwell asked.

“Yes, and I got several questions, eight of them. And the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved,” Lawful-Sanders confirmed. 

After receiving backlash, the Biden media team announced it would no longer provide pre-approved questions to interviewers. 

“While interview hosts have always been free to ask whatever questions they please, moving forward we will refrain from offering suggested questions,” Biden’s booking operation for media outlets said. 

However, despite already knowing, and I’m sure rehearsing answers to the pre-approved questions, Biden still stumbled over his words. 

During his interview with Lawful-Sanders, Biden claimed he was the “first black woman to serve with a black president.”

No wonder 72 percent of Americans think Biden is too old to serve in office another four years. 

It is not uncommon for the 81-year-old president to rely on help during public appearances. Biden has been known to use cheat sheets and teleprompters throughout his entire presidency. The president has also been caught using notecards with a list of approved reporters to call on during press conferences.

Trump Classified Document Case Likely Won’t Be Heard Until after Election

pgnewser July 8, 2024 0

U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon has granted numerous delays in the Classified Documents case against former President Donald Trump. The delays are expected to push the prosecution of this case until after the election. The delays were the result of the Supreme Court Ruling granting immunity to a President when executing “official” acts of the office.

Excerpt from amgreatness.com

On Saturday, the judge overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump ruled that several deadlines can be pushed back further, in another victory for the former president and his team.

Axios reports that the ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon grants a temporary stay on expert disclosures which were originally set for July 8th, as well as the reciprocal discovery by the defense originally scheduled for July 10th. Judge Cannon also set a new deadline of July 18th for Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team to respond to the Trump team’s motion to stay, as well as a request for a supplemental briefing; she gave both sides a deadline of July 21st to respond.

Judge Cannon’s ruling follows a historic ruling by the Supreme Court in late June which reaffirmed that President Trump has sweeping immunity from prosecution over his conduct while in office. The 6-3 ruling by the court’s conservative majority determined that he has absolute immunity for actions that fall within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority, as well as presumptive immunity for other official acts.

The Supreme Court’s ruling makes it nearly impossible for Special Counsel Smith, as well as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, to prosecute Trump in their respective cases in Washington D.C., Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia. It also ensures that the cases will not go to trial before the November election, in which Trump is set to face Joe Biden in a rematch of the 2020 election.

President Trump and his team have also successfully delayed his sentencing in his Manhattan conviction; originally scheduled for July 11th, just days before the Republican National Convention, District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan have agreed to reschedule the hearing for September 18th.

CIA Colluded to Change 2020 Election by Signing on to False Claim Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian Disinformation

pgnewser June 27, 2024 0

The evidence is now clear that while 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter stating the Hunter Biden laptop was not real, that it was a Russian disinformation campaign, they all knew they were lying, lying to advance the coup that was the 2020 Mass Mailer Election (which is no election at all).

The House Judiciary Committee released a statement on their findings, claiming, “High ranking CIA officials, up to and including then-CIA Director Gina Haspel, were made aware of the Hunter Biden statement prior to its approval and publication. Because several former senior intelligence officials signed the statement, the PCRB sent the draft statement to the CIA’s then-Chief Operating Officer (COO) Andrew Makridis, who said he subsequently informed then-Director Haspel or then Deputy Director Vaughn Frederick Bishop that the statement would be published soon. Senior CIA leadership had an opportunity at that time to slow down the CIA’s process for reviewing publication submissions and ensure that such an extraordinary statement was properly vetted.”

The House Judiciary Committee disclosed on Tuesday that CIA contractors collaborated with the Biden campaign in 2020 to undermine the credibility of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

In October 2020, just days before the presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials signed and released a letter alleging without evidence that the contents of Hunter Biden’s controversial laptop bore “all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.”

This falsehood was known to be untrue by all involved. Despite this, the mainstream media still propagated the story and even used it during the debate to criticize President Trump.

Court Kills Secret Order that Would Allow Michigan Mail-In Ballots to be counted without Signature Verification

pgnewser June 24, 2024 0

In a victory within a defeat, the Michigan GOP was able to secure a win from a Michigan judge that would prevent a secret order by far-left anti-Americanist activist and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from taking effect. That order would allow election ballot counters to disregard the legally required process of signature verification before they do so.

The ruling, however, does nothing to touch the voter disenfranchising tactic of mass mailer “voting” in the first place. It merely makes it slightly harder for the Democrats of the fallen state of Michigan to count the votes they need to win, no matter how the American people actually voted.

… I’m happy to report that with the removal of Karamo months ago and the election of Pete Hoekstra, the party statewide is now positioning itself to be competitive. The more blue states that Biden has to compete in, like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the better it is for Donald Trump come election day.

This press release below shows that a number of Republican organizations are working together to ding the current Democrat Secretary of State here in Michigan, Jocelyn Benson, for her sloppy attention to detail with voter signatures.

Here is said RNC Press Release:

The RNC, Michigan GOP, and NRCC have won a major victory to protect mail ballots in Michigan. We discovered that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson issued secret instructions to election officials to disregard signature verification requirements and instead “presume the validity” of signatures. We filed suit to protect these important safeguards. The court agreed with us, holding that the Secretary’s instructions are unlawful and that officials cannot presume the validity of signatures.

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated: “This RNC legal victory confirms the importance of mail ballot safeguards in Michigan’s Constitution. The Secretary of State’s covert attempts to sidestep these rules were rightfully rejected by the court, exposing that her attacks on election integrity have no substance. This win is just the latest development in our ongoing fight to promote fair and transparent elections in the Great Lakes State.”

Biden and Trump agree rules for first election debate of 2024

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off in a 90-minute debate with mutable microphones, broadcaster CNN said Saturday (Jun 15), as it laid ground rules for the first in-person clash between the pair ahead of November’s election.

The rules for the Jun 27 debate, which will have two hosts and no studio audience, were agreed by the Biden and Trump campaigns, according to CNN.

“Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip,” the channel said, adding that microphones “will be muted throughout the debate except for the candidate whose turn it is to speak.”

No props or notes will be allowed on stage, with candidates only given a pen, pad of paper and a bottle of water, CNN said.

It said the debate, hosted in Atlanta, Georgia, will last 90 minutes with two commercial breaks – during which campaign staff cannot interact with their candidate.

Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk has advised against the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs), citing concerns about their potential vulnerabilities to hacking. His remarks come amidst growing debates over the security of EVMs worldwide, especially following allegations of irregularities in Puerto Rico’s recent primary elections.

“We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high,” Musk posted on X.

Joe Biden: Trump ‘Must Have A Guilty Conscience’: VIDEO– secondnexus.com

Excerpt from secondnexus.com

President Joe Biden had the perfect answer for why former President Donald Trump is “ranting on Truth Social at 3 in the morning,” saying Trump has a “guilty conscience” in a video showing him answering questions that “Trump can’t.”

Biden’s words came weeks after Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. A New York jury last month found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to corruptly influence the 2016 election. His sentencing is set for July 11.

In a clever campaign video dropped on Wednesday, Biden was asked a series of this or that questions, which are no-brainers for Biden but would be tough calls for Trump.

Milwaukee Democratic Mayor Cavalier Johnson defended his city, which is set to host the Republican National Convention this summer, after former President Donald Trump called the city “horrible” in a closed-door meeting with House Republicans earlier Thursday.

“This is a great place, and the former president and every Republican who’ll have the chance to come to our great city, they’ll see that when they’re here on the ground in Milwaukee for the convention,” Johnson told CNN’s Laura Coates Thursday night.

Johnson added that insulting the home of tens of thousands of Republican voters in Wisconsin, a swing state, could be politically costly for the former president as he seeks to return to the White House.

A member of the House Freedom Caucus is taking an unprecedented step to endorse the primary challenger fighting to unseat the ultra conservative group’s chair.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) is endorsing John McGuire, a state senator who is in a highly watched race against Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), McGuire’s campaign first shared with POLITICO.

“I love this country with a soldier’s passion. I’ve served in Congress since 2016, and we need reinforcements to help Make America Great Again. I’m happy to join President Trump by supporting and endorsing John McGuire for Congress,” Davidson said in a statement, describing McGuire as conservative, effective and someone who will drain the swamp.

He added: “I look forward to serving with him in the 119th Congress to support President Trump and the America First agenda. Drain the swamp!”
