Pollsters Jim and John McLaughlin wrote in Newsmax on Thursday that new polling shows voters are flocking to President Trump.

Newsmax: This national poll of 1,000 likely voters was conducted between March 17 to March 21.

These new national poll results show that frontrunner President Trump is getting even stronger.

—Although the 2024 general election is 20 months away, President Trump maintains a decisive lead over Joe Biden 48% to 43%.

Having polled for President Trump in 2016 and 2020, although we had a close race in the battleground states, we were losing the national popular vote.

This is not the case today.

Since Joe Biden surrendered Afghanistan, for over a year, President Trump has maintained a decisive lead over Joe Biden. In the battleground states, Trump now leads 51% to 41%. Trump would beat Biden in a landslide.

—Among Republican primary voters 61% want to see Donald Trump run for President again in 2024. That’s up from 57% last month.

—In a field of 13 declared and potential opponents, President Trump leads the pack with 46% of the vote and leads by 23 points over his next closest opponent Ron DeSantis at 23%. Mike Pence gets 8% and all others less. Since January, in this crowded field Trump’s lead has increased by +11%.

—In a one-on-one race Trump vs. DeSantis, Trump now leads by 30 points - 61% to 31%. Since January this is a net +19 point increase for Trump.

This sudden action to indict President Trump is the classic political diversion.

Ron DeSantis is lashing out against President Trump because his poll numbers keep falling. Unfortunately for DeSantis, sitting down for an interview to bash President Trump with gun-grabber Piers Morgan won't solve his issues with Republican voters.

A Monmouth University poll released Wednesday shows President Trump ahead of a hypothetical Republican primary field with 41 percent support.  Ron DeSantis is behind at 27 percent support. This represents a surge in support for President Trump in recent months. 

Monmouth's March poll:

Trump — 41%

DeSantis — 27%

Haley — 3%

Monmouth's February poll:

DeSantis — 33%

Trump — 33% 

Haley — 1% 

Monmouth's December poll: 

DeSantis — 39%

Trump — 26%

Haley — 1%

Morning Consult's tracking poll also shows this same growth for President Trump. 

March 19: Trump — 54%

DeSantis — 26%

March 14: Trump — 52%

DeSantis — 28%

Feb 25: Trump — 48% 

DeSantis — 30%

Jan 2:

Trump — 45% 

DeSantis — 34%

Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

The latest Morning Consult poll shows 54 percent of potential Republican primary voters back President Trump. Morning Consult wrote: "The latest survey shows 54% of potential primary voters support the former president, compared with 26% who are backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, tying his expected opponent’s lowest level of support since tracking began in December."

Morning Consult (conducted March 17- March 19):

Trump 54%

DeSantis 26%

Pence 7%

Haley 4%

Cheney 3%

Abbott 1%

Noem 1%

Pompeo 1%

Youngkin 1%

Scott 1%

Ramaswamy 1%

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis doesn't think that the weaponization of our legal system is a "real issue."

During a press conference Monday, DeSantis was asked about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's reported plan to abuse the legal system. "I've got real issues I got to deal with here in the state of Florida," DeSantis said. "We've got so many things pending in front of the legislature. I've got to spend my time on issues that actually matter to people." 

Democrats abusing the justice system to target Republicans is a real issue that impacts all Americans. Our country won't survive if the courts are weaponized to imprison political opponents.  

Donald Trump Jr. put it well in a tweet Monday: "So DeSantis thinks that Dems weaponizing the law to indict President Trump is a 'manufactured circus' & isn't a 'real issue.' Pure weakness. Now we know why he was silent all weekend. He's totally owned by Karl Rove, Paul Ryan & his billionaire donors. 100% Controlled Opposition."

Candace Owens was likewise dismayed by DeSantis' comments. "Anyone surprised by this? Been saying this forever: Desantis is a good Governor but he is establishment and will be a major disappointment to those who think otherwise," Owens tweeted.

DeSantis stands alone.  Republicans are rallying around President Trump:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy: "Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.   I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions."

Senator Rick Scott: "Speaker McCarthy is right, and I fully support his call for an investigation. No federal dollars should be used to prop up this radical, Soros-backed activist attorney or his gross political attacks."

Senator J.D. Vance: "I've been asked by multiple reporters if an indictment would lead me to rescind my endorsement of Donald Trump. The answer is: hell no. A politically motivated prosecution makes the argument for Trump stronger. We simply don't have a real country if justice depends on politics."

Senator Eric Schmitt: "Trump Derangement Syndrome does not provide legal cover.  The public rightfully expects prosecutors to carry out our responsibilities without political prejudice.  Indictments, investigations and incarceration to settle political scores shows a deep contempt for the rule of law."

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise: "The Manhattan DA refuses to prosecute violent criminals terrorizing citizens on the streets and instead wastes taxpayer money on a political vendetta against President Trump. No wonder hundreds of thousands escaped from New York!"

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik: "What these corrupt leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and their socialist allies fail to understand is that America First Patriots have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and vote at the ballot box to save our great republic."

Former Vice President Mike Pencetold Breitbart that this "reeks of the kind of political prosecution that we endured back in the days of the Russia hoax." Pence also told ABCthat an arrest of President Trump would be "a politically charged prosecution."

2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy: "This will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself. I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and to put aside partisan politics in service of preserving our Constitutional republic."

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer: "It's another example of a two-tiered system of justice."

Senator Josh Hawley: "The Democrats used the FBI against parents, they used the FBI against Catholics, they used Big Tech against vaccine critics & anyone who questioned them. Now they want to arrest Trump, their leading political opponent. They are the banana republic party"

Congresswoman Mary Miller: "In a democracy, the voters decide who will be their President through a free & fair election. In a corrupt banana republic, the state arrests their political opposition in order to hold onto power. It means they know they will lose the election because they've done a bad job."

Rep. Matt Gaetz: "The impending indictment is based on an untested, tortured legal theory.   This is an absurd abuse of the criminal process in our politics.   It must be seen for the partisan pathetic ploy it is."

Senator Steve Daines: Alvin Bragg "should focus on the violent criminals terrorizing New York instead of pursuing politically motivated charges against Donald Trump." 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win.   And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base. 

President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him.  And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves. 

Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way.  And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America. 

The base has had enough of Republicans that won’t stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin, his supporters, and traditional values."

Rep. Cory Mills: "The recent announcement and blatant politically motivated targeting of Donald Trump  from NY’s AG Bragg is EXACTLY what Americans have come to expect. He’s shown his soft on crime, no bail reform policies for violent criminals, but targets a Fmr. President."

Rep. Russell Fry: "This is just unreal! The Left has ruthlessly tried to sideline President Trump since he first started fighting for the American people. This is just one more unprecedented and legally suspect attack against the President coming from a rogue DA furthering his own political agenda"

Former Congressman Peter King: "The only crime here is being committed by Alvin Bragg, who to me is abusing his duties, his rights, his obligations as a prosecutor."

Hello-

President Trump has been speaking about America as a nation in decline. He has recognized—at every level—a country that has become engulfed in the flames of liberal radicalism. In an overt attempt to remake America, every lever of power is being used to burn our institutions to the ground leaving only a servant-state to the leftist agenda. President Donald Trump is the embodiment of our fight against this effort. He is truly the only person who is ready and able to stand up and fight back.

This weekend President Trump has predicted his imminent arrest by Manhattan’s District Attorney, Alvin Bragg. The case, which even liberal scholars and the mainstream media have written off as meritless, marks the beginning of a dark and consequential time.

For anyone paying attention, this is what happens in failed nations—this seminal moment in history presents a fork in road for the future of our nation.

One path, defined by apathy and fatigue, will be the abandonment of America’s Constitution, the destruction of the rule of law, and result in the beginning of the end for the Great American Experiment. The other path, led by patriots who stand up and get involved right now, is the only hope we have for saving America and the writing of America’s redemption.

President Donald J. Trump is America’s redemption, he is the lifeline of freedom and prosperity, and only through him will America truly be made Great again.

STATUS

• President Donald J. Trump has been leading by wide margins in every poll, both against the 2024 GOP primary field and in general election polling, and pundits have begun recognizing that his return to the White House is not just likely, but inevitable.
• Just like clockwork—from Russia, Russia, Russia to the fraudulent impeachments—Democrats are weaponizing the power of government against President Trump.
• The case lacks merit, has been referred to as the “Zombie case,” and as the Washington Post pointed out, that legal experts are “scratching their heads,” noting that “prosecutors have repeatedly examined the long-established details but decided not to pursue charges against him.”

KEY

• If DA Alvin Bragg brings this case, it will not only serve to coalesce President Trump’s support, but it will become the single largest in-kind contribution to a federal campaign in political history.

We are in uncharted times and I am reminded of the words of Robert Frost who said, “the only way out is through.” We will not cede the American story to radicals who want to destroy everything that makes our nation great—and we will take note of those who stand with us and those who remain silent in apathy and complacency. We will pursue redemption and revival in this moment of chaos and uncertainty. Together, we will fight for President Trump and ensure America is made great again.

Thank You,

Republicans stand united with President Trump and recognize that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is attempting to abuse his power:

• Key Republicans like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, Senator J.D. Vance, Senator Josh Hawley, and many others are speaking out in defense of President Trump.
• Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said, "If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win.   And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base."
• Senator Eric Schmitt said, "The reported upcoming arrest of President Trump by hyper partisan Soros prosecutor Alvin Bragg is some Third World Banana Republic lunacy and a very, very dangerous road to go down."
  
• Even never-Trumper Jonah Goldberg acknowledged Sunday that if President Trump’s “name were John Smith, Alvin Bragg would not be bringing this case.”

Conservatives are paying attention to who is staying silent right now:

• Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis both spoke out about the Mar-a-Lago raid on the day it happened. Both remain silent about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's reported plans to abuse his power. What are they waiting for?
• "Pay attention to which Republicans spoke out against this corrupt BS immediately and who sat on their hands and waited to see which way the wind was blowing," Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday.
• Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna wrote Saturday, "Pay attention to who is being silent on what is currently happening to Trump."
• Congresswoman Lauren Boebert wrote, "We all need to be speaking up against the political persecution of President Trump. This is not the time for silence."

Alvin Bragg has a history of being weak on violent crime:

• Since he took office, Bragg has downgraded 52% of all felony cases brought before him to misdemeanors. When his office does end up bringing felony charges, they only secure convictions in 51% of cases.
• In his first memo to his staff upon becoming Manhattan’s new District Attorney, Bragg made it clear that he prioritizes politics over public safety.
  • He instructed prosecutors to seek misdemeanor petty theft charges, as opposed to felony charges, for armed robbers who used firearms or another deadly weapon if “no victims were seriously injured.”
  • Bragg stated that suspected drug dealers can only be charged with felonies if they are accused of committing more “serious” crimes or if they are caught in the act of selling drugs. Otherwise, they would be only charged with misdemeanor possession.
  • In defending this radical, soft-on-crime approach, Bragg stated that “these policy changes not only will, in and of themselves, make us safer; they also will free up prosecutorial resources to focus on violent crime.
• Bragg gave a six-month “sweetheart plea deal” to Waseem Awawdeh for his role in a violent attack on Joseph Borgen, who was attending a pro-Israel rally in New York in May 2021.
  • According to the New York Post, Awawdeh called the victim a “dirty Jew” during the brutal gang beating, and allegedly told officers that “he would do it again.”
  • Bragg told Jewish Insider that, after considering “the full context of conduct,” he decided that the plea deal was appropriate as “a kind of individualized justice depending upon a person’s role in the charge.”

Several reported 2024 presidential hopefuls have commented since the news that District Attorney Alvin Bragg could indict President Trump on bogus charges next week.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' PAC sent out an email on COVID-19 policies from three years ago to collect emails and phone numbers for fundraising platform WinRed. Governor DeSantis also tweeted Saturday evening about his hurricane response last year.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has commented twice since the news. He told Breitbart that this "reeks of the kind of political prosecution that we endured back in the days of the Russia hoax." Pence also told ABC that an arrest of President Trump would be "a politically charged prosecution."

Vivek Ramaswamy has weighed since the news. "This will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself," Ramaswamy wrote. "I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and to put aside partisan politics in service of preserving our Constitutional republic.

Ramaswamy later tweeted, "I held a press conference following my South Carolina speech. I called on GOP donor class favorites Ron DeSantis  and  Nikki Haley  to join me by 9 AM tomorrow in calling on the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to abandon the political persecution through prosecution of the 45th president."

Key Republicans, such as Speaker Kevin McCarthy, weighed in on Saturday in defense of President Trump against a potential abuse of power by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. 

Vivek Ramaswamy, a declared 2024 candidate, also released a statement Saturday defending President Trump. "A Trump indictment would be a national disaster. It is un-American for the ruling party to use police power to arrest its political rivals. If a Republican prosecutor in 2004 had used a campaign finance technicality to arrest then-candidate John Kerry while Bush & Cheney were in power, liberals would have cried foul - and rightly so. Principles go beyond partisanship. Let the American people decide who governs. This will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself. I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and to put aside partisan politics in service of preserving our Constitutional republic."

Mike Pence, a reported 2024 hopeful, told Breitbart News radio that this "reeks of the kind of political prosecution that we endured back in the days of the Russia hoax."

We have yet to hear from Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, Tim Scott, and others. 

Republicans have rallied around President Trump in response to the news that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg plans to abuse his power and bring forward bogus charges.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy: "Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.   I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions."

Senator J.D. Vance: "I've been asked by multiple reporters if an indictment would lead me to rescind my endorsement of Donald Trump. The answer is: hell no. A politically motivated prosecution makes the argument for Trump stronger. We simply don't have a real country if justice depends on politics."

Senator Eric Schmitt: "Trump Derangement Syndrome does not provide legal cover.  The public rightfully expects prosecutors to carry out our responsibilities without political prejudice.  Indictments, investigations and incarceration to settle political scores shows a deep contempt for the rule of law."

House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik: "What these corrupt leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and their socialist allies fail to understand is that America First Patriots have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and vote at the ballot box to save our great republic."

Rep. Matt Gaetz: "Virtually every campaign finance violation involves either 1) spending other people’s money illegally or 2) taking money into your campaign that you shouldn’t.  Trump did neither. He used his own money to resolve a private dispute, irrespective of any campaign. 

The impending indictment is based on an untested, tortured legal theory.   This is an absurd abuse of the criminal process in our politics.   It must be seen for the partisan pathetic ploy it is."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win.   And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base.

Rep. Cory Mills: "The recent announcement and blatant politically motivated targeting of Donald Trump  from NY’s AG Bragg is EXACTLY what Americans have come to expect. He’s shown his soft on crime, no bail reform policies for violent criminals, but targets a Fmr. President."

Rep. Wesley Hunt: "The radical left would have you believe that they are protecting Democracy, when in fact, many of them are working to destroy it.  What is happening to President Trump is an assault on the Constitution I swore an oath to defend in combat, and in Congress."

Rep. Russell Fry: "This is just unreal! The Left has ruthlessly tried to sideline President Trump since he first started fighting for the American people. This is just one more unprecedented and legally suspect attack against the President coming from a rogue DA furthering his own political agenda"

Radio host Clay Travis: "The same people who told you Donald Trump was a direct threat to American democracy are about to indict the chief political rival of their party and try to put him in jail. This has never happened before in American history. The Democrats under Joe Biden — and their media allies — are everything they told you Trump was — the actual authoritarian dictators hell bent on complete political power."

Former Congressman Peter King: "The only crime here is being committed by Alvin Bragg, who to me is abusing his duties, his rights, his obligations as a prosecutor."

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg goes soft on violent criminals terrorizing New York's residents. The New York Post found that Bragg has "has downgraded more than half his felony cases to misdemeanors." 

Instead, Alvin Bragg only focuses on prosecuting his political opponents.

Legendary attorney and law professor Alan Dershowitz wrote in The New York Sun that "indicting Trump would be targeted injustice." 

Dershowitz: "Not to compare Mr. Bragg’s NYC to Stalin’s Soviet Union, a sordid episode from the past does come to mind: the notorious head of the KGB, Lavrentiy Beria, once said to Stalin: 'show me the man, and I will find you the crime.' Closer to home, J. Edgar Hoover would often target his political enemies for investigation. Or as a South American dictator once threatened: 'for my friends everything; for my enemies the law.'  

All decent people, whether politically opposed to Mr. Trump (as I am) or supportive of his candidacy, should be concerned about this weaponizing of the prosecutor’s office for the political purpose of preventing a potential candidate from running for office."

Mike Davis, former Senate Judiciary Committee counsel and president of the Article III Project, wrote in The Washington Times: "These district attorneys are attempting to force Mr. Trump out of the race with bogus legal theories—Mr. Bragg’s even essentially dismissed by the liberal New York Times—because they are terrified of a fair election."

Davis is referring to a New York Times report that noted, "The case against the former president hinges on an untested and therefore risky legal theory involving a complex interplay of laws.”

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has also come out against Bragg for this injustice. "Mr. Bragg could go down as the man who stretched the law to indict a former President, and then lost."

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene summed it up well in a statement Saturday morning: If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win.

And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base.

President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him.

And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves.

Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way.

And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America.

The base has had enough of Republicans that won’t stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin, his supporters, and traditional values.

President Trump leads the hypothetical Republican primary field in Florida, according to an Emerson College poll released Friday.

The Emerson College poll comes amid a series of polls showing President Trump growing his support among Republican voters.  

A New York Times analysis Friday found that over the last two months, there's been an "unequivocal" polling trend. "Every single one of these polls has shown Mr. DeSantis faring worse than before, and Mr. Trump faring better."

Emerson College (GOP Primary voters in FL, March 13-March 15):

Donald Trump 47 percent

Ron DeSantis 44 percent

Mike Pence 4 percent

Nikki Haley 2 percent

Tim Scott 1 percent

Mike Pompeo 1 percent

President Trump is increasing his lead among Republican voters. The more voters learn about other candidates, the bigger the lead grows for Donald Trump. 

A Quinnipiac national poll released Wednesday shows Trump's lead over DeSantis increasing by 8 percent.

The Hill: "Former President Trump widened his lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to 14 points in a new Quinnipiac University poll of 15 current and potential candidates for the GOP presidential nomination.

The poll, released Wednesday, showed Trump in first with 46 percent support from Republicans and Republican-leaning voters, followed by DeSantis with 32 percent. That’s a notable increase in Trump’s lead from Quinnipiac’s poll last month that showed him leading DeSantis by 6 points, 42 percent to 36 percent."

Additionally, a CWS Research poll of Texas voters shows a large jump in support for President Trump. The pollster's January survey of likely Republican primary voters showed President Trump leading with 36 percent and Ron DeSantis at 35 percent.

The February poll shows President Trump with a 16 percent lead. President Trump is at 43 percent and Ron DeSantis is at 27 percent. 

House Republican Leader Elise Stefanik is in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday with an op-ed on how "Trump Delivered on His Promises."

Rep. Stefanik writes: One of the many reasons that voters in my district and across the country voted for Mr. Trump is because of his agenda-setting policy vision and his ability to deliver: Promises made, promises kept. Too many politicians over the years have spoken a big game on the campaign trail only to backtrack when they arrive in Washington.

With Mr. Trump, it was the opposite.  I was humbled to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference this year, highlighting House Republicans’ legislative and oversight agenda as the only backstop to single-party Democrat rule. At CPAC, Mr. Trump’s speech was heavy on policy and tough talk. Like he did in 2016, Mr. Trump is setting the policy agenda and pace of the Republican primary, and the other candidates or would-be candidates are either playing catch up or running on "not being Trump," while touting his policies—a single-digit strategy.

Mr. Trump is handily defeating all his GOP challengers by double digits in the polls.  Buckle up! Journalists and the groupthink chattering class clearly didn’t learn the lesson from 2016 of their vast disconnect and dismissal of the everyday American people.

View the letter to the Florida Comission on Ethics here. 

The head of Make America Great Again Inc. is requesting that the Florida Commission on Ethics investigate Ron DeSantis for several violations of the law.

Florida law has unique and unambiguous restrictions related to state officials accepting gifts, personally benefiting from outside income, and being influenced into making specific decisions. After careful review, it is clear that Ron DeSantis has leveraged a shadow Presidential campaign to amass significant personal wealth and political capital in direct violation of state ethics laws, the spirit and the letter of the state’s resign-to-run law, and his commitment to America’s taxpayers.

The violations by Gov. Ron DeSantis include improperly soliciting and accepting gifts "with the understanding that he will run for president and resign as Governor of Florida."

Should the Commission find that a violation occurred, it should impose penalties that include removing Governor DeSantis from office and disqualifying him from any future ballot in the State of Florida.

The letter states: "Governor DeSantis knows, or should know, that his shadow presidential campaign is illegal under federal election law, Florida ethics laws prohibiting illegal gifts from political committees, and Florida ethics laws prohibiting illegal lobbying payments."

Governor DeSantis claims there is more work to be done to help the people of Florida. However, DeSantis will be far away from Tallahassee during the current legislative session and instead be on a national book tour to enrich himself and promote his presidential candidacy.

The Make America Great Again movement was birthed to stop career politicians who use public service to amass personal wealth and power. An investigation by the Florida Ethics Commission must occur as soon as possible. This letter provides ample evidence that Governor DeSantis is engaging in conduct that violates Florida Ethics laws. 

Ron DeSantis' latest statement on Ukraine is a failed attempt at a flip-flop. The Florida governor has a long track record of being a hawk on the issue. His wordy statement to Tucker Carlson does not change that. 

As Erick Erickson wrote today, "the reality is DeSantis and Biden have the same position on Ukraine right now."

Journalist Michael Tracey took apart DeSantis' statement in a smart analysis Monday night: "The statement from DeSantis is politically clever -- it's worded in such a way that gives the impression he's vaguely opposed to current US policy in Ukraine.

But the actual policy positions articulated (against sending F-16s, US troops) are substantively no different than Biden's stated position at the moment Should the US continue provisioning arms in perpetuity to Ukraine?

Should the US compel the initiation of negotiations? DeSantis says nothing that would answer either of those core questions Conversely, Trump -- in calling for the US to immediately initiate negotiations -- *does* substantively break from current US policy, which purports to defer to Ukraine on all major strategic objectives, and rejects the idea of initiating negotiations with Russia."

As President Trump told thousands in Iowa Monday night, he is the only candidate that can prevent World War 3. President Trump has been warning about the threat of nuclear war for months now and is the only Republican that wants an immediate peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. 

President Donald Trump spoke to standing-room-only crowd of over 3,500 people in a speech in Davenport, Iowa Monday afternoon. 

There were over 1,200 people outside who weren't able to fit inside of the venue.

The New York Times reported that "Mr. Trump’s arrival shut down traffic by 2 p.m. Monday afternoon."

Highlights from President Trump's speech:

President Trump: "I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate from kindergarten through college."

President Trump: "I am the only candidate who can make this promise -- I will prevent World War 3." 

President Trump: "Within hours of my inauguration, I will cancel every Biden policy that's brutalizing our farmers. Every single one of them."

President Trump: "As President, I will immediately end the invasion of our southern border!"

The Washington Examiner: Ahead of his 2024 Iowa debut, former President Donald Trump's campaign touted over a dozen endorsements from eastern Iowa officials. 

Trump's campaign hailed the endorsements from the cadre of "conservative and influential Republican leaders."

The former president is set to roll out his education policy platform at a Davenport, Iowa, event later Monday.

Good afternoon!

President Trump will be in Davenport, Iowa tomorrow to deliver remarks on his America First education agenda. The visit to Iowa comes amid surging poll numbers for President Trump.

Morning Consult found that President Trump has his “strongest primary lead yet” in a national poll released Tuesday showing Trump with a 25 percent lead. Meanwhile, Emerson College found that President Trump has a 41 percent lead in a hypothetical New Hampshire Republican primary.

Americans are desperate for leadership. Just look at East Palestine, Ohio. Nick Sortor posted a picture on Twitter of a “WE NEED TRUMP” sign on someone’s front lawn. 

“THIS is the sentiment here in East Palestine given Joe Biden is totally ignoring the town—even after promising he’d come visit residents,” Sortor wrote. President Trump will never ignore Americans.

Biden sleeps at the wheel while Americans face an increasingly uncertain economic future:

• The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank last week was the largest bank run in modern history. It's the largest bank failure since 2008 when customers at Washington Mutual withdrew $16.7 billion over ten days. Last week’s run on SVB, however, totaled $42 billion in a single day.
• As inflation continues to outpace wage growth, the total amount of credit card debt held by Americans is nearing a historic high, up 18.5% from the previous year to a record $930.6 billion in 2022. 
• More than ever, the United States needs a firm hand on the wheel of our economy. Joe Biden spent last week instead touting his disastrous, job-killing, growth-shrinking budget.
• Biden’s proposed budget would increase taxes by $5.5 trillion and end domestic oil and gas production incentives. Meanwhile, Biden proposed that the EPA receive $2 billion for “advancing racial equity and securing environmental justice.”
• Economist Stephen Moore described Biden’s budget as a “fiscal atrocity” that would be an economic “killer.” A report from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation found that Biden’s proposed corporate tax rate hike specifically would strangle our economy and slash nearly 140,000 jobs.

Cartels continue to threaten Americans. Only President Trump has a plan to take them head on:

• The four Americans kidnapped in Mexico last week are not an outlier. There are currently more than 550 Americans missing in Mexico.
• The Mexican drug cartels have made Mexico unsafe for Americans to visit. When the cartels are not busy terrorizing their own country, they are producing and smuggling deadly drugs into the U.S. that destroy communities. 
• The cartels must be defeated. President Trump has a plan to “wage war” on the cartels and use every means possible to dismantle them. 
• The Democrats, unfortunately, cannot be trusted to handle this threat. Democrat Senator Bob Menendez said he wouldn’t vote to designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organization claiming, “We should save that for truly terrorist organizations in the world.” 

The latest poll from Emerson College shows President Trump with a massive lead in a hypothetical New Hampshire Republican primary, The Hill reports.

President Trump wrote an op-ed published by The Daily Mail on the need to hold China accountable for COVID-19.

President Trump on the virus' orgins: "When I first suggested in early 2020 that the virus may have come from a lab, it was called 'racist,' a 'conspiracy theory,' and a claim for which 'there is no evidence'."

The entire globalist establishment—from the World Health Organization, to the media, to Anthony Fauci and the public health authorities, to the corrupt Silicon Valley tech giants, to Joe Biden—worked relentlessly to silence, censor, and shut down any suggestion that the so-called 'lab leak theory' could be true."

President Trump on the WHO: "There must now be a reckoning. The sinister censorship regimes in the United States and throughout the West must be dismantled and destroyed. This scandal is the best possible reminder of why we must have free speech.

The World Health Organization must also be held to account. The WHO, which effectively did China's bidding, fully endorsed the 'natural origin' theory, failed to conduct a thorough inquiry into the possibility that the virus came from a lab, and covered up for China at every turn."

President Trump on the need to hold China accountable: "Their lies and deception killed any opportunity to stop this deadly global catastrophe at the start.

Add to that the probability that the virus emerged from a Chinese government lab, and may even have been engineered by Chinese government scientists, and it is clear that the nations of the world are not just owed a massive apology; they are owed massive damages.

To collect this compensation, nothing should be off the table—tariffs, taxes, and a global summit on reparations."

President Donald Trump overwhelmingly won the CPAC Straw Poll.

Donald Trump -- 62 percent

Ron DeSantis -- 20 percent

Perry Johnson -- 5 percent

Nikki Haley -- 3 percent

Josh Kraushaar at Axios writes: "Four new polls show former President Trump has received a boost in Republican support — with one survey showing him hitting 50% support in a crowded GOP field."

Mediaite reported Tuesday, "Fox’s Brian Kilmeade Has To SEARCH Diner To Find a Single DeSantis Supporter — And Even She’s On The Fence."

Mediaite's Colby Hall wrote: Brian Kilmeade co-hosted Tuesday’s episode of Fox & Friends from a diner in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Just before going to break, he held an unscientific but still revealing poll of diners’ favorite candidates in 2024. 

“All right. 2024, who is pumped up for the election?” Kilmeade asked the attendees of the Metro Diner. “Rapid fire. Who is your man? Who is your woman?” 

The first six respondents ALL cited former President Donald Trump as their preferred candidate, though two added South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as a running mate to Trump, and two mentioned former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley also as a Vice Presidential candidate to Trump. 

“So far, a lot of Donald Trump,” Kilmeade noted before finding a woman wearing a shirt emblazoned with the name of the Florida Governor.

“I see Governor Desantis; what about President Desantis?” he asked of the woman.  “Oh, gosh, I don’t know,” she replied. “Trump or Desantis, either/or.” 

The Washington Examiner: Former President Donald Trump continues to maintain a two-to-one polling lead over chief rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and is the only Republican who would beat President Joe Biden, according to a new national poll released Tuesday morning.

In the Emerson College Polling survey, Trump would topple Biden if the election were today, 46%-42%, just outside the margin of error of 2.9%.

But Biden would beat DeSantis, 44%-40%, and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley 40%-37%.

What’s more, Trump leads DeSantis in GOP polling. In a Republican primary, it’s Trump at 55%, DeSantis at 25%, former Vice President Mike Pence at 8% and Haley with 5%.

President Trump this week unveiled his plan to put American manufacturers first and undo the damage wrought by Biden’s disastrous America Last agenda.

“Biden's pro-China economic program puts America last and it's killing our country,” President Trump said in a video released Monday. “My cutting-edge trade agenda will revitalize our economy by once again putting America first. We will quickly become a manufacturing powerhouse like the world has never seen before.”

Last year, the total trade deficit rose over 12% to nearly $1 trillion, the largest deficit on record. Domestic producers are suffering as Biden’s regulations make it easier and cheaper to purchase foreign goods. More of America's wealth is being drained from this country than it ever has before.

China specifically reaps the rewards under Biden’s America Last agenda. According to the New York Times, “overall trade with China last year easily surpassed previous records.”

President Trump’s America First trade platform includes:

• Replacing Biden’s current system, which punishes domestic manufacturers, with one that rewards domestic production and institutes universal baseline tariffs on foreign companies;
• Ending U.S. economic reliance on China by revoking China’s Most Favored Nation trade status, phasing out all Chinese imports of essential goods, stopping U.S. companies from investing in China, preventing China from buying up American land and property, and banning federal contracts for any company outsourcing to China; and
• Creating a new Strategic National Manufacturing Initiative to correct global trade imbalances pushed by Biden and the Democrats and dramatically strengthen the American economy.

“My agenda will tax CHINA to build up AMERICA,” President Trump stated. “The heart of my vision is a sweeping pro-American overhaul of our tax and trade policy to move from the Biden system that punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers, to a system that REWARDS domestic production and taxes FOREIGN companies and those who export American Jobs. They will be rewarded and rewarded greatly. And our country will benefit.”

As President Trump told us in 2019, “Ultimately, I’m always right.”

He has a point. 

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the “U.S. Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak.”

Three years ago, President Trump was telling the public that the China Virus originated from the virology institute in Wuhan. At the time, the press claimed this was “baseless” and a “conspiracy theory.”

Well, the virus did originate from Wuhan and Trump was right to ban travel from China. 

It’s important to keep President Trump’s track record of correct predictions in mind as he warns the country that Joe Biden is leading us into World War 3 in Ukraine.  The Biden administration is not only wasting American tax dollars, but is also putting us all in danger.

Joe Biden blames his own propagandists in the media for the sorry state of America’s economy: 

• Joe Biden told ABC’s David Muir in an interview that it was the media’s fault that Americans have such a bleak outlook on the economy—not his own policies. 
• MUIR: “Our latest ABC News poll shows four-in-ten Americans say they are worse off than when you were elected, only 16% say they were better off, so why is that? Why aren’t Americans feeling this?” 
• BIDEN: “Well look, I think it’s, it goes well beyond the economy. Think about it, you make the news, I mean, you interview for the news, can you think of anything I turn on the television and ‘God, that makes me feel good.’ Almost anything. Everything is in the negative…So, I think things feel a little out of whack and I don’t blame people for feeling down.” 
• The ABC News poll that Muir referenced also noted that the number of people who say they are worse off is at its highest level since the organization began asking that question nearly four decades ago.  
• While Biden blames his own media lapdogs for not doing enough to lie to the American people about the economy, the reality is that Americans are earning less and racking up more debt. 
• Americans in their thirties are accumulating debt at historic rates, holding 27% more debt than in 2019—the fastest rate over three years since the 2008 recession. 
• Since Biden began his inflationary spending spree, real year-over-year wages have fallen for 22 straight months. 
• The average American family has lost $7,600 of their hard-earned income to the hidden costs of Biden’s agenda.  

Polls continue to show President Trump is the Republican frontrunner:

• A Fox News poll released Sunday shows President Trump with a double-digit lead in the Republican primary.
• FNC: "Trump tops the list with 43%, followed by Ron DeSantis at 28%, Nikki Haley and Mike Pence at 7% each, and Greg Abbott and Liz Cheney at 2% each."
• Morning Consult’s weekly tracking poll also has Trump with a double-digit lead. 
• Trump: 50%, DeSantis: 30%, Pence: 6%, Haley: 6%, Cheney: 3%,      Abbott: 1%, Noem: 1%,  Pompeo: 1%, Scott: 1%, Youngkin: 0% 

A year after Russia’s invasion, the Ukraine War continues with no end in sight. Only President Trump is calling for peace:

• The flow of money and weapons to Ukraine continues unabated. The Biden administration recently announced a $2 billion commitment to send additional weapons to Ukraine.
• Statista recently found that “the payments to Ukraine have already exceeded the annual military expenditure of the U.S. in the war in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2010.”
• The Biden administration appears to have no plan to wind down the death and destruction in Ukraine. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CNN that he can’t promise that the war will be wrapped up within a year.
• President Trump knows that continued escalation with a nuclear power is a dangerous game. He told Glenn Beck in an interview this week, “We’re going to end up in World War 3.” President Trump told Glenn Beck that it’s necessary to get Ukraine and Russia in a negotiation room and figure out a peace deal as soon as possible.
• President Trump also weighed in on China’s alleged plans to arm Russia. “The ultimate sin is taking place…never let China and Russia unify and we have let them unify…that’s the most dangerous thing that can happen to our country.”

President Donald Trump donated over 14,000 bottles of water to the community of East Palestine, Ohio during his visit Wednesday.

"You are not forgotten. We stand with you," President Trump said in remarks. "We pray with you."

Congressman Wesley Hunt (R-TX) summed up President Trump's visit well in a tweet:

"America has two Presidents right now:   

One who can climb a flight of stairs and one who falls up them.   

One who visits Americans in need, and one who takes pallets of cash to Ukraine.

One who leads and one who follows.   

America needs strength again."

President Trump's visit comes while Biden and Buttigieg have not bothered to visit East Palestine. Asked by a reporter what Biden should do, Trump said, "Get over here." 

Fox News: "Former President Trump will travel to East Palestine, Ohio Wednesday and is set to donate thousands of gallons of cleaning supplies and more than a dozen pallets of water to the community as it grapples with the aftermath of the train derailment that led to a large release of toxic chemicals."

Read Brooke Singman's report on Fox News here.

President Trump warns in a new video that "World War 3 has never been closer than it is right now."

“Take a look at the globalist warmonger donors backing our opponents. That’s because they’re candidates of war," President Trump said in his Tuesday video. "I am the President who delivers peace, and it’s peace through strength.”

The National Pulse describes his video as "one of the strongest denunciations of U.S. establishment foreign policy and the apparatus at the heart of it."

Read about the announcement here in The National Pulse.

President Trump issued a policy plan Monday that will keep Americans safe. The plan includes instituting the death penalty for drug dealers and ordering the Department of Education and Justice Department to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors. 

"Many of these carjackers and criminals are 13, 14, and 15 years old. I will order the Education and Justice Departments to overhaul federal standards on disciplining minors," President Trump said. "So, when troubled youth are out of control, they're out on the streets and they're going wild, we will stop it."

President Trump towers over the Republican field in a national poll released Friday.

Harvard-Harris poll (conducted February 15- February 16)

Donald Trump: 46%

Ron DeSantis: 23%

Mike Pence: 7%

Nikki Haley: 6%

Mike Pompeo: 3%

Marco Rubio: 2%

Ted Cruz: 1%

Tim Scott: 1%

President Trump also leads against Joe Biden in a general election poll -- 46 percent to 41 percent.

Congresswoman Harriet Hageman (R-WY) endorsed President Trump's 2024 presidential candidacy in a statement Wednesday.  "President Trump stood with me for my election in 2022, and I am proud to stand with him in 2024," Rep. Hageman told Breitbart. 

Hageman said: "I believe that Donald Trump was one of the best presidents of my lifetime. His policies were great for Wyoming and the Country as a whole. He understood that we must promote and support our domestic energy industries, allow states to responsibly develop their own natural resources, enforce immigration laws and protect our southern border, and lead the country with strength so that our allies respect us while our enemies fear us.”

The Consumer Price Index rose 6.4% over the last twelve months, according to newly released data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When President Trump left office, inflation was 1.4%.  Americans pay every day to cover the hidden costs of Biden and the Democrats’ reckless spending and their war on American energy.

Our Take:

• Ever since Joe Biden set American currency on fire, real year-over-year wages have fallen for 22 straight months.
• Year-over-year inflation for Jan. 2023 was worse than expected, coming in 0.2% points higher than estimated.
• Real average hourly earnings over the last twelve months decreased by 1.8% in January.
• Joe Biden inherited a booming economy from President Trump and squandered it with his massive wealth-redistributions and wasteful spending. 

The Background:

While hard-working families earn less and pay more every month, the White House gaslights the public and pretends that the economy is in great health. Americans, however, do not believe them. No amount of spin can deny that the average American family lost $7,400 to Biden’s inflation.

Even former Obama economic advisor Jason Furman denied the Biden administration’s spin: “Nothing in this number gives me comfort…This inflation issue is real. I don’t think it is going away anytime soon, and I think anyone who is overly calm about it is making me nervous.”

Goods are not getting cheaper. Wages are not rising. There is only one way to reverse the course for our nation and that is with President Trump back in the White House.

"Joe Biden's war on American energy is one of the key drivers of the worst inflation in 58 years, and it's hitting every single American family very, very hard," President Trump stated last week. "In effect, Biden's anti-American energy crusade is a massive tax hike on everything. Higher energy costs, raise the price of food, raw material, shipping, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and everything else."

Taylor Budowich, head of Make America Great Again Inc., released the following statement Tuesday in response to Nikki Haley's campaign announcement: "Nikki Haley is just another career politician. She started out as a Never Trumper before resigning to serve in the Trump admin. She then resigned early to go rake in money on corporate boards. Now, she’s telling us she represents a 'new generation.' Sure just looks like more of the same, a career politician whose only fulfilled commitment is to herself."

January’s CPI Data Shows Americans Continue to Get Poorer Under Joe Biden

Senator Markwayne Mullin Endorses Trump For President

U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) endorsed Donald Trump for President in a statement released Friday. 

Sen. Mullin: "I'm proud to endorse the strongest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump, for a second term in 2024.

President Trump is the architect of our America First movement. He is a proven champion for our conservative values, and a fearless leader on the world stage.

In just four years, President Trump delivered great results for the American people. He lowered taxes, secured American energy independence, protected our Second Amendment, and never backed down from the radical Left threatening our way of life.

President Trump is exactly the president we need to lead this country through the tough road ahead. Not only am I proud to endorse President Trump, I’m proud to call him my friend."

ICYMI: Trump Outlines Energy Policy

President Trump rolled out an energy policy platform in a video Thursday. 

"Joe Biden's war on American energy is one of the key drivers of the worst inflation in 58 years, and it's hitting every single American family very, very hard," President Trump said. "In effect, Biden's anti-American energy crusade is a massive tax hike on everything. Higher energy costs, raise the price of food, raw material, shipping, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and everything else."

Polling shows a whopping 90 percent of Americans want more domestic energy production. 

President Trump's energy platform includes:

• Eliminate every unnecessary federal regulation that hampers domestic energy production.
• Remove the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement
• Rapidly issue approvals for energy infrastructure projects

"So, get those proposals ready now, because we are going to put thousands of Americans to work building the power plants, pipelines, grids, ports, refineries, and shipping terminals of tomorrow," Trump said. "We are going to have very inexpensive energy again, like we did just two and a half years ago. This great undertaking will also help restore hope and aspiration to America's young people, instead of being irrationally terrified by political predictions of climate apocalypse."

President Trump unleashed American energy once and he will do it again. Under President Trump's leadership, the United States became a net energy exporter and the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world.

Biden Doesn't Actually Want Unity

Joe Biden isn't interested in "unity over division" like he claimed on Tuesday. If he were, he'd adopt President Trump's policies. Taylor Budowich, head of Make America Great Again Inc, explains in a column in Townhall how Trump's winning policies unify the country. You can read it here. 

ICYMI: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Tells Touching Story

In her State of the Union response, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders recounted how President Trump visited Iraq on Christmas to celebrate with soldiers.

Gov. Huckabee Sanders says that a soldier in Iraq they visited on Christmas told President Trump, “I re-enlisted because of you.”  She says President Trump responded, "I’m here because of you.” Watch here. 

Biden Disbanded Anti-Chinese Espionage Program

Here's one fact that Joe Biden will certainly not mention at tonight's State of the Union -- his administration shut down the anti-espionage "China Intiative" program created by President Trump.

The initiative, started by the Trump administration in 2018, identified "Chinese threats to national security." Why would Biden want to end that program? Could it have anything to do with his family's business dealings in China?

Unlike Biden, President Trump was resolute in his fight against China.

Even Politico acknowledged that Trump stood up to the Chinese Communist Party. A 2021 Politico article noted, "Trump imposed a near-ban on government use of Chinese drones...Trump took notable steps in beating China in the race for technological supremacy on artificial intelligence...[and] Trump rallied the world against China’s 5G dominance."

The Biden administration's refusal to stand up to China is clear when a small North Dakota town must block a Chinese-government linked project near a military base.

The Biden admin refused to take action against the land purchase.

President Trump recently vowed to "enact aggressive new restrictions on Chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the United States, including energy, technology, telecommunications, farmland, natural resources, medical supplies and other strategic national assets."

The State of the Union

The state of the union is not good.

We do not expect Joe Biden to tell the truth tonight, but Americans are struggling.

Here are some facts to keep in mind while you watch tonight's speech:

• Nearly two-thirds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
• A recent ABC/Washington Post poll found that 41 percent of Americans “say they are not as well off since Biden became president…the highest level since Post-ABC polling first asked the question in 1986.”
• A CBS/YouGov poll shows 62 percent of Americans expect the economy to decline next year.
• Companies continue to announce layoffs. Boeing announced it will cut 2,000 white-collar jobs this year. Zoom announced it will layoff 15 percent of its workforce.
• Biden failed to support American manufacturing. The Wall Street Journal reports: "The U.S. trade deficit for all of 2022 rose 12.2% to $948.1 billion, the widest gap on record."
• Inflation remains a problem despite Biden's assurances that he will get it under control. Inflation was still 6.5 percent in December 2022, outstripping any increases in Americans’ wages. In that same month, the annual increase in wages was only 4.6 percent. 
• The most recent Consumer Price Index shows food prices increased 10.4 percent year-over-year. 
• A whopping 71 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, according to an NBC poll.
• Biden promised in his 2022 speech to "beat the opioid epidemic" and again he failed.
• The opioid epidemic continues to destroy American families as fentanyl pours across the border. Drug overdose deaths in New York City, for example, increased 78 percent since 2019.
• Fox News reported: "Over 14,000 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the border in fiscal year 2022, up 25% from the year prior."
• Biden failed to secure the border. A record 251,457 illegal immigrants were caught crossing the border in December. There is also a disturbing surge in terror watchlist members and sex offenders crossing the southern border.
  • Fox News reported: "Arrests of terror watchlist members skyrocketed at the U.S.-Mexico border from fewer than 10 annually under former President Donald Trump to 98 in 2022 under President Biden."
• While President Trump urges peace in Ukraine, Joe Biden continues to push us towards World War III.
  • Breitbart: "President Joe Biden, who is now sending tanks to Ukraine, warned in March that doing so would result in World War III."

Fox News: Biden repeatedly fell short of promises he made in 2022 State of the Union address

Joe Biden failed to deliver on promises he made during his 2022 State of the Union address. Inflation is still hurting Americans and the opioid crisis remains out of control. Read Jessica Chasmar's story in Fox News here. 

ICYMI: Tucker Calls Out Nikki Haley

Tucker Carlson laid into Nikki Haley Wednesday night for saying that George Floyd's death needs to be "painful for everyone." Justin Evans, a former Haley aide, interviewed by Tucker said, "She just walks away when times get though."

Watch the interview here.

Conservatives React To Haley's Candidacy

Conservatives slammed Nikki Haley as a "warmonger" and a "part of the problem" following the news that she is set to announce a run for president.

Newsmax host Greg Kelly called out Nikki Haley for previously saying she wouldn't run for president if President Trump runs. Kelly said this means her "candidacy is doomed."

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that Haley "endorsed the BLM riots."

Steve Bannon remarked the Haley is "part of the problem."

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk said on his show that "Nikki Haley is a cheerleader for the military industrial complex." 

Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec wrote on Twitter: "Neocon Nikki, Boeing board member, is going to go down in flames worse than Kabul Airport. How's all that BLM support gonna work out in the primary? Congrats on being the first to step up to get embarrassed"

Revolver News founder Darren Beattie told Steve Bannon that Haley "wants war everywhere."

"The Brink Of Nuclear War"

President Trump issued a video message Wednesday urging an end to the war in Ukraine before it escalates to a nuclear war.

"The situation in Ukraine is very dangerous, explosive, and escalating by the day. Joe Biden's weakness and incompetence has brought us to the brink of nuclear war," Trump said.

Biden is now sending tanks to Ukraine despite saying last year that sending tanks to Ukraine would start World War 3. 

President Trump said, "It's far past the time for all parties involved to pursue a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine before this already horrific catastrophe spirals out of control and ends up leading indeed to World War 3."

Senator J.D. Vance Endorses Trump For President

Senator J.D. Vance announced his endorsement of President Trump in an op-ed Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal. 

Sen. Vance: "Donald Trump’s presidency marked the first real disruption to a failed consensus and the terrible consequences it wrought. That fact, more than any single accomplishment, is the enduring legacy of Mr. Trump’s first term. But there is much more to do, and I’m supporting him for president in 2024 because he’s the only person certain to do it."

Trump's Plan To Stop Child Sex Transitioning

Donald Trump announced his plan Tuesday to combat the physical and chemical mutilation of children.

"The left-wing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse," President Trump said. "No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender."

You can watch his announcement here.

The policies laid out by President Trump include:

• Signing an executive order calling on federal agencies to halt all programs that "promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age"
• Calling on Congress to stop federal tax dollars from being used to promote or pay for sex transition procedures
• Asking Congress to pass a law prohibiting "child sexual mutilation in all 50 states"
• Declaring that any hospital or healthcare provider that "participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from the program immediately"
• The Justice Department will investigate Big Pharma and the big hospital networks to "determine whether they have deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of sex transitions in order to get rich at the expense of vulnerable patients"
• The Department of Education will inform states and school districts that "if any teacher or school official suggests to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body" they will face severe consequences, including the elimination of federal funding
• The new credentialing body for teachers will promote positive education about the nuclear family and celebrate rather than erase "the things that make men and women different and unique"
• Calling on Congress to pass a law establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States government are male and female and they are assigned at birth

Trump Leads by Double Digits in South Carolina

Breitbart News: Former President Donald Trump is leading his potential challengers in South Carolina by double-digits, a recent Trafalgar Group survey found.

The survey asked respondents, "If the Republican presidential primary were held today and the following were the candidates, for whom would you most likely vote?"

Trump stood as the overwhelming favorite, garnering 43.4 percent support. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) falls 15.6 percent behind with 27.8 percent support. South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) fell to third with 14.3 percent support, followed by former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley with 11.6 percent, former Vice President Mike Pence with 1.8 percent, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo with 1.1 percent.

Trump Releases Plan To Save American Education

President Trump released his plan Thursday to save American education and give control of schools back to parents. 

Trump warned that we have a "major problem" if we have "pink-haired communists teaching our kids."

You can watch his announcement here.

The policies outlined by President Trump include:

• Cutting federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, gender ideology, or any other inappropriate content
• Initiating a Department of Education civil rights investigation into race based discrimination at schools
• Aggressively pursuing potential violations of freedom of religion
• Finding and removing "the radical zealots and marxists in the Department of Education"
• Implement preferential funding to states and school districts that make the following changes:
  • Abolish teacher tenure for grades K-12, and instead adopt merit pay
  • Drastically cut the bloated number of school administrators
  • Adopt a parental bill of rights that includes complete curriculum transparency and school choice
  • The direct election of principals by parents

On this Day in History: The Anniversary of Trump's Border Wall Executive Order

Six years ago today, President Trump signed Executive Order 13767 calling for the construction of a physical wall along the southern border.

The Trump administration successfully completed 450 miles of new border walls, which secured our border. Department of Homeland Security statistics show that in Yuma, Arizona, areas with a new border wall system saw a decrese in illegal entries by 87 percent.

DHS also noted that the "El Paso Sector has experienced a significant reduction in drug and smuggling activities in areas where the new border wall system was built."

Shortly after entering office, Biden revoked Trump's executive order and halted border wall construction. Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said, "With the stroke of a pen, President Biden made this country less safe."

Trump Heads To New Hampshire

President Trump will stop in New Hampshire Saturday morning to speak at the New Hampshire GOP's annual meeting. The stop in New Hampshire comes a few hours before Trump holds a campaign event in South Carolina. Read Fox News' report here.

Trump Urges Republicans Not To Cut Social Security

President Trump released a video message Friday urging Republicans to protect Social Security. 

"Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security," Trump said.  President Trump urged Republicans instead to target the "hundreds of billions of dollars going to corrupt foreign countries," the billions being spent on climate extremism, and the draining of our safety net by illegal immigrants.

"Cut waste, fraud, and abuse everywhere we can find it," Trump said. "But, do not cut the benefits our seniors worked for and paid for their entire lives. Save Social Security. Don't destroy it."

Trump Announces Plan To Destroy Chinese Communist Party Influence

President Trump announced his plan Wednesday to dismantle the Chinese government's influence in the United States. Trump proposes banning Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland and other vital American interests like medical supplies or natural resources.

Our Take:

• President Trump's bold vision to take on Chinese Communist Party stands in contrast to the compromised Biden Crime Family.  Joe Biden was "office mates" with Hunter's Chinese business partner.
• Biden not only refused to stand up to China, but he's actively helped our adversary. His administration sold nearly 6 million barrels of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China.
• China is buying up American farmland. They own and control nearly 200,000 acres of U.S. farmland. President Trump wants to put a stop to this national security threat.

The Background:

"As I’ve long said, economic security is national security,” Trump said in his Wednesday announcement. “China does not allow American companies to take over their critical infrastructure and America should not allow China to take over our critical infrastructure."

"To protect our country, we need to enact aggressive new restrictions on Chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the United States, including energy, technology, telecommunications, farmland, natural resources, medical supplies, and other strategic national assets," Trump continued. “We should stop all future Chinese purchases in these essential industries. And we should begin the process of forcing the Chinese to sell any current holdings that put our national security at risk."

Trump's announcement received immediate praise. Congressman Ronny Jackson wrote, "China must be BANNED from having ANY ownership of our infrastructure, and President Trump is the ONLY person who can DESTROY China’s corrupt influence on our country. If we’re going to stop China, we MUST get President Trump BACK in the White House!!"

President Trump has long recognized the threat China poses to the U.S. In a Tuesday interview, Rep. Jim Banks acknowledged this and said, "Donald Trump was the first president in my lifetime that said, 'China is a threat to the United States. We're going to do something about it.'"

Latest Poll Shows Trump With A Commanding Lead

President Trump has a commanding lead over potential 2024 Republican primary opponents, according to the latest poll from Morning Consult.

Morning Consult concluded, "Just over a year out from the Republican Party’s first presidential nominating contest, Trump remains the front-runner in a hypothetical crowded field, backed by 48% of potential Republican primary voters."

Morning Consult (conducted January 14 - January 16)

Donald Trump - 48 percent

Ron DeSantis - 31 percent

Mike Pence - 8 percent

Liz Cheney - 3 percent

Nikki Haley - 2 percent

Ted Cruz - 2 percent

Greg Abbott - 1 percent

Kristi Noem - 1 percent

Mike Pompeo - 1 percent

Tim Scott - 1 percent

Glenn Youngkin - 0 percent

South Carolina Leaders To Join Trump At Event

The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Senator Lindsey Graham and South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster will join President Trump at his first public campaign event of the 2024 race. You can read the article here.

NYT Confirms Biden’s Intimate Knowledge of Hunter’s Overseas Profiteering

The New York Times on Wednesday admitted that Joe Biden had deep and intimate knowledge of the workings and participants of Hunter Biden’s foreign self-enrichment. This admission comes as Biden continues to insist that he never spoke with his son about his international business deals.

It is increasingly apparent that the Biden family has no qualms over using patriarch Joe’s lifelong career in politics for their own personal financial gain. For the security of our nation, these transgressions must be investigated.

Our Take:

• The article admits that then-Vice President Biden wrote a letter congratulating his son and his business partner, Devon Archer. “Happy you guys are together,” Biden wrote on White House stationery.
•  When Joe Biden found out about Hunter’s seat on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, he called Hunter to warn him, “I hope you know what you are doing.”

o   Hunter accepted the board seat, along with a salary that would reach over $80,000 a month, while then-Vice President Biden was overseeing Ukraine policy for the Obama administration.

•       After attending a charity dinner together in 2015, an executive from Burisma wrote an email to Hunter “thanking him for ‘giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together.’”
• In 2013, Hunter accompanied Joe on a taxpayer-funded trip to Beijing. While there, Hunter arranged a meeting with associates from a deal involving the Chinese investment firm BHR Partners “in the coffee shop of the hotel where his father’s delegation was staying.” The New York Times admits that Hunter “introduced them to his father.”
• Hunter Biden’s business manager, Eric Schwerin, used Hunter’s accounts on multiple occasions to “pay a bill for Vice President Biden.”

The Background:

In what would become an embarrassing week for the Biden White House, this New York Times article is another crack in the crumbling foundation of the Biden Crime Family.

The legacy media and social media giants coordinated in the final days of the 2020 campaign to hide the depth of the Biden family’s corruption. Full knowledge of the details of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led nearly 10 percent of Biden voters to abandon him. That is more than enough votes to flip the election in the six swing states won by Biden (AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI).

45.1 percent of Biden voters said they were unaware of the corruption scandal surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden.

This corruption is brazen and done openly—even on taxpayer-funded, official state visits. The American people deserve so much more from their elected officials.

True leaders do not enter politics to enrich themselves or their families. True leaders sacrifice personal gain in order to do what is best for our nation. The stark difference between President Trump and Joe Biden is clear.

For the sake of our nation and the integrity of the Executive Office of the President, questions over the Biden family's influence peddling operation and Joe’s knowledge of  their foreign business deals must be answered.

The Price Of Eggs Is Up Nearly 60 Percent

Economic data released Thursday shows how Biden's economy is failing Americans. 

The cost of key goods skyrocketed and real wages have been negative for 21 months. President Trump will fix America's ailing economy. He did it before and he can do it again. During the Trump administration, middle-class family income soared while unemployment fell to its lowest level in a half-century. 

Some key findings from the latest Consumer Price Index data from December 2021-December 2022:

The price of eggs is up 59.9 percent.

The cost of airfare is up 28.5 percent.

The cost of fuel oil is up 41.5 percent.

The price of butter is up 31.4 percent.

The price of car insurance is up 14.2 percent.

Real wages are down 1.7 percent year-over-year. 

"America’s Clear Choice in 2024"

Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX) explained in the Washington Times why Donald Trump is "America's clear choice in 2024."

Rep. Nehls: "Mr. Trump has a solid record of delivering on his promises. During his presidency, the economy boomed, the stock market soared, and unemployment fell to a 50-year low. Mr. Trump kept us out of foreign wars and fought every day to build the wall and enforce our immigration law. He also reshaped the judiciary and named three Supreme Court justices who handed power back to the states and the people, all while fighting the fake news attacks and hoax investigations every step of the way. He is, without a doubt, the most effective conservative leader in a generation."

It's Time For A Special Counsel

Taylor Budowich, head of MAGA Inc., released the following statement to Breitbart in response to the news that classified documents were located at UPenn's Biden Center: "Why were classified documents stored at Biden’s Chinese-funded think tank? The Justice Department must appoint a special counsel to investigate"

The New York Post reported last year that University of Pennsylvania received tens of millions of dollars from anonymous Chinese donors after the university announced it would create the Biden Center.

Tucker Carlson asked the right questions Monday night about this arrangement. "Penn has received more than $50 million from anonymous Chinese donors," Tucker said. "Were those donors peering at the classified documents, the national secrets, that Joe Biden had been stashing at the fake think tank that Penn set up for him?" 

ICYMI: Trump Finalizes Speaker Deal

Following fifteen rounds of votes, Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives of the 118^th Congress. Crucial concessions ensured that the American People are running the People’s House.

In the minutes following the vote, conservative insiders took to Twitter to reveal that President Trump played a key role in finalizing this deal.

Trump closed the deal tonight.

— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) January 7, 2023

Heard from multiple sources that it was Trump’s calls that sealed the deal.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) January 7, 2023

Speaker McCarthy thanked President Trump for his support, adding that "I don't think anybody should doubt his influence."

Additionally, multiple members of the newly-sworn in 118^th Congress made it clear that President Trump played the crucial role in this process since the beginning of December and up until the final hours of the vote.

Rep. Jim Jordan: “This doesn’t get done without the support and leadership of President Trump.”

Rep. Byron Donalds: “[Trump] has played a good part in this.”

After two years of humiliation and economic hardship inflicted by the Biden administration, the American People voted to hold the Washington D.C. machine accountable. While the Democrats marched in lockstep, Republican members-elect remained unafraid to voice the concerns of their constituents.

As a result of this healthy democratic process, not only is the Republican Party stronger, but the American People have their voice back in Congress.

"The 'Speaker' selection process," President Trump stated, "as crazy as it may seem, has made it all much bigger and more important than if done the more conventional way."

President Trump’s leadership once again succeeded in ensuring that the concerns of the American people are not forgotten.

President Trump’s “role was huge” in finalizing this deal, according to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“America is truly about to see the most conservative Republican Speaker of the House that they have seen in decades,” Greene concluded.

President Trump Announces Plan To Combat Drug Cartels

President Donald Trump announced a plan Thursday to "wage war" on the drug cartels that are flooding America with poison. 

President Trump outlined how he will designate the cartels as foreign terror organizations and use the U.S. military to combat them as necessary.

You can watch his announcement here.

Our Take:

• The record number of drug overdose deaths -- more than 107,000 in 2021 -- requires drastic solutions that Biden is unwilling to take. The drug cartels deserve to be destroyed like ISIS as President Trump said in his Thursday video.
• The Mexican drug cartels function like terrorist groups. They even defeated the Mexican military before in battle. President Trump recognizes the threat they pose to national security.
• Biden does not take the drug crisis seriously. The Border Patrol Union warned that Biden's plan to end Title 42 gives the cartels "complete control."

The Background: 

President Donald Trump laid out several proposals to combat the cartels in his Thursday video. The announcement comes while violence erupted in the Mexico city of Culiacan after Mexican authorities arrested drug cartel leader Ovidio Guzman -- the son of El Chapo.

"Fentanyl, heroin, meth, and other lethal drugs are pouring across our wide open border stealing hundreds of thousands of beautiful American lives," Trump said Thursday. "The drug cartels are waging war on America, and it's now time for America to wage war on the cartels.  In this war, Joe Biden has sided against the United States and with the cartels."

President Trump's proposed policies include:

• Deploying all necessary military assets to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels. "We will guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country."
• Ordering the Department of Defense to use special operations, cyberwarfare, and other methods to "inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations."
• Designating the major drug cartels as foreign terror organizations.
• Severing the drug cartels' access to global financial systems.
• Creating a partnership with neighboring governments in the region to combat the cartels.
  • President Trump noted, "Either we will get the full cooperation of other governments to stop this menace, or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign."
• Calling on Congress to make sure drug traffickers receive the death penalty.

Trump Alone Can Fix Biden's Mess

In just two years, Biden ruined everything President Donald Trump accomplished. The economy is in shambles and the border is a disaster. MAGA Inc's Taylor Budowich broke it all down in a Tuesday op-ed in Newsmax. You can read it here.

Biden Destroys Americans' 401k Investments

The S&P 500 fell nearly 20 percent in 2022 as the Biden economy continues to fail Americans. You can read the news here.

The 401(k)s of American workers boomed under President Trump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had an annualized gain of 11.8 percent under Trump, which was the best performance for a Republican president since Calvin Coolidge.

Trump Promises He Will Protect Social Security

President Trump told Breitbart News in an interview that he will protect Social Security as it is "a contract with the people." You can read the full interview here.

Spike In Murderers and Sex Offenders Crossing The Border Under Biden

The Heritage Foundation noted Monday that: "Biden reversed many Trump-era policies that stemmed the tide of illegal immigration into the United States.  As a result, convicted‐criminal‐alien encounters—including assaults, rapes, & homicides—have *spiked* during Biden’s first two years in office."

The Heritage Foundation's data, which you can view here, shows a massive increase in Border Patrol encounters of criminal aliens with criminal convictions. 

For example, in fiscal year 2019, there were 58 criminal aliens with sex offense convictions encountered at the border. In fiscal year 2022, there were 365 criminal aliens with a sex offense conviction encountered at the border -- a 529 percent increase.

In fiscal year 2019, there were 2 criminal aliens with homicide or manslaughter convictions encountered at the border. In fiscal year 2022, there were 62 criminal aliens with homicide or manslaughter convictions encountered at the border, according to the Heritage Foundation. That is a whopping 3000 percent increase.

President Trump secured the border once and he will do it again. President Trump wrote Monday: "Two years ago we had the strongest and safest Border in U.S. history. Hundreds of miles of Walls were built, my “Stay In Mexico” Policy was working fantastically, Title 42 was in full force and effect, Border Patrol and ICE were doing an incredible, tough, yet compassionate, job, and our Southern Border was, for the first time in decades, being spoken of in glowing terms. People weren’t even making the long hard journey up through Mexico. NOW OUR BORDER IS THE WORST IN HISTORY, & GETTING WORSE!"

Trump Urges Republicans To Vote Against Omnibus

President Donald Trump is urging Republicans to stop the omnibus spending bill. "Every single Republican should vote no on the ludicrous, unacceptable $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill. It's a disaster for our country," said President Trump in a video on Thursday.

Read the Washington Examiner's coverage here. You can also watch President Trump's video on the omnibus HERE.

Trump: "Our Country Is Under Invasion"

President Donald Trump released a warning Wednesday against passing "any form of amnesty" as it would "reward Joe Biden's lawlessness" and the "criminal cartels."

Our Take:

• Swamp lawmakers continue to not have Americans' best interests at heart, whether it's Mitch McConnell's omnibus deal that spends billions securing other country's borders instead of our own, or a potential amnesty deal
• President Trump secured our border and deported illegal immigrants. He will never reward illegal border crossers with American citizenship.
• America's open border crisis is the result of Biden's failures. He dismantled the progress President Trump made.

The Background:

"Far more illegal immigrants have entered the United States in the last two years than at any time in American history and by a massive margin. We've never seen anything like it. Our country is under invasion," President Trump said in his video on the border.

President Trump continues to stand up for our immigration laws when so many seem more concerned about the borders of faraway nations.

Mitch McConnell's omnibus not only says the Border Patrol can't spend money on "border security," but it would also funnel millions to a group that wants to "abolish ICE."

President Trump said, "Republicans must do whatever it takes to prevent Mitch McConnell from passing his sellout Omnibus Bill."

Instead of sending millions of taxpayer dollars to "Abolish ICE" groups or amnesty, President Trump called on Congress to pass "criminal penalties for any senior official or political appointee who orders, aids, or abets the mass-release of illegal aliens into the United States.”  

"What these Open Borders extremists are doing to our country is criminal—and it should be punished as such,” Trump said.

Biden, The Grinch: Inflation Forces Families to Forgo Gift-Giving

A new report by personal finance website WalletHub reveals 40 percent of surveyed Americans say they will forgo gift-giving around the tree this Christmas due to inflation. Biden’s economic humiliation of hard-working families will be keenly felt this holiday season.

Our Take:

• 50 percent of those surveyed admitted that “Santa” will not be as generous as in past years, while 40 percent said that he may not be able to afford a visit at all this year.
• The National Retail Federation estimates that Americans will be forced to dip into their savings to put presents around the tree this year.
• Are you planning on throwing a Christmas party? A Bankrate study of the consumer price index shows that costs for food are skyrocketing at rate unseen in more than 43 years.
• President Trump will restore dignity to the American family by ending the Democrats’ socialist experiment.

The Background:

After one of the most expensive Thanksgivings on record, American families trying to celebrate the Christmas season face higher prices and depleted savings, all thanks to the Biden administration.

Biden’s war on American energy is driving prices up across the board as goods become more expensive to produce and transport. His administration’s reckless and relentless spending makes the dollars in our pockets worth less. This two-front attack on our purchasing power is shaping up for a depressing festive period.

“It’s a year to be careful, more so than ever before,” notes Mark Cohen, Columbia Business School’s director of retail studies.

 “Inflation has robbed consumers of purchasing power,” says Bankrate’s senior economic analyst, Mark Hamrick. “Can they afford to buy holiday gifts,” he continues, “when essentials – like food and energy, home heating and transportation included, along with costs of shelter – have led the way with price increases?”

If you’re hosting Christmas this year, you’re soon to feel the pinch: according to a Bankrate analysis of the consumer price index, the price of groceries hasn’t increased this much since 1979. The cost of groceries last month was 12 percent higher than last year.

If you’re not hosting, but traveling to spend the holidays with loved ones, you’re also staring down unaffordable price increases: airfares are up 43 percent and gas is up 17.5 percent compared to last year.

To add insult to injury, the cost to wrap your gifts and decorate your home jumped 13 percent more this year compared to last year.

Facing down this expensive Christmas and approaching the new year, a record 65 percent of Americans say our nation is “on the wrong track,” according to a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll.

President Trump stated in his 2024 presidential campaign announcement that, when he left office, “the United States stood ready for its Golden Age, our nation was at the pinnacle of power, prosperity, and prestige, towering above all rivals, vanquishing all enemies, and striving into the future confidently and so strong.”

“For millions of Americans,” he continued, “the past two years under Joe Biden have been a time of pain, hardship, anxiety, and despair.”

Legal Experts Slam January 6 Committee

The sham January 6 Committee was uniformly attacked Monday for sending bogus criminal referrals to the Justice Department.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said on Fox News that President Donald Trump "took pains in the speech to say that he wanted them to march peacefully. The fact that the committee doesn't broadcast that he said that doesn't make that go away...again this is a theatrical exercise more than a real hearing process."

Legendary constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz said on Newsmax that the American public should "ignore" the referrals since it is a "worthless piece of paper." Dershowitz noted that "Congress has no power to recommend prosecution."

George Washington Law School professor Jonathan Turley noted that the January 6 Committee used deposition video that is "obviously edited." The committee was caught several times misrepresenting evidence, including misportraying texts.

Turley also said on Fox News that the committee destroyed "its own credibility."

"This was highly scripted. They brought in a producer. They had members reading from teleprompters. Witnesses sort of became like props and it made this become more performative than investigative," Turley said.

Attorney and Breitbart editor Joel Pollak responded to the committee on Twitter: "As the January 6 Committee show trial emphasizes its phony claims of 'insurrection' with bogus criminal accusations, the #TwitterFiles are producing real evidence of an effort to interfere with a democratic election -- by the FBI and social media companies, urged on by Democrats."

Republican Congressman Troy Nehls, a former sheriff, called the committee a "partisan witch hunt."

MAGA Inc. compiled a video showing how even the liberal media view the J6 Committee as nothing more than a show trial. Watch HERE.

Trump Backs McCarthy For Speaker

President Donald Trump is backing House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy for Speaker. President Trump told Breitbart that Republicans need to coalesce behind McCarthy. You can read the full interview HERE. 

Praise For President Trump's Free Speech Platform

Conservatives praised President Donald Trump's announcement of a policy platform to ensure free speech. "The fight for free speech is a matter of victory or death for America and for the surivival of Western Civilization itself," President Trump said in his Thursday announcement.

He outlined a detailed plan to "restore free speech." The plan includes barring federal funds from universities that engage in censorship and firing federal bureaucrats that worked with tech companies to silence lawful speech. 

Republican Congressman Ronny Jackson tweeted, "President Trump is the ONLY person who can dismantle and DESTROY the censorship cartel. We need him BACK in the White House!!"

Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan called the announcement video "excellent." 

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said, "The Democrats have attacked Conservative American’s freedom of speech for years, and President Trump is roaring back into 2024 with a plan the people will love. "

Former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker said on Newsmax that "he knocked it out of the park with this video and this plan that ultimately protects our republic and our fundamental rights."

Newsmax host Greg Kelly said President Trump showed "leadership" with the announcement.

Republican strategist Andy Surabian told The Washington Times, "It’s exactly what conservatives want to see from him in his presidential campaign — a concrete policy agenda about the issues the base cares deeply about, that shows his vision for the future.”

Trump Unveils Free Speech Policies

President Trump is taking on Silicon Valley censorship. He unveiled his free speech platform on Thursday, which includes promises to fire any federal official engaging in censorship and barring federal funds for universities that censor speech. President Trump noted, "the censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed."

Our Take:

• For years, the Democrats and the Deep State worked with companies like Facebook and Google to censor conservatives. President Trump will put an end to this censorship.
• President Trump's policies will end censorship of conservative voices offline by defunding censorious universities.
• The lack of free speech online amounts to election interference. Google can shift millions of votes with its ability to manipulate search results, according to expert Dr. Robert Epstein.

The Background:

President Trump detailed his free speech platform in a video Thursday. 

"In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of Deep State bureaucrats, Silicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists, and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American People," Trump announced in the video. “The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed — and it must happen immediately."

The platform includes:

• "An executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business, or person, to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens."
• A ban on "federal money from being used to label domestic speech as ‘mis-‘ or ‘dis-information.’"
• "Firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship."
• A DOJ "investigation of all parties involved in the new online censorship regime" and to "aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified."
• Signing a bill "revising section 230 to get big online platforms" out of the censorship business.  Digital platforms "should online qualify for immunity protection under section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness, and non-discrimination."
• An end to federal funding of universities that engage in censorship activities such as "flagging social media content for removal."
• Enacting new laws "laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end run around the Constitution" to deprive Americans of free speech.
• To counter the problem of infiltration by intelligence officials of tech platforms a "7-year cooling-off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S. user data."
• Enacting a "digital bill of rights" that includes "a right to digital due process — in other words, government officials should need a court order to take down online content, not send information requests such as the FBI was sending to Twitter."

"There is no ‘better choice’ than Trump"

Bruce LeVell explains in The Washington Times that Donald Trump is the best choice for Republicans in 2024. He states, "there is one thing we know for sure… there are popular politicians in power at this very moment that would sell the American people out on a dime. Mr. Trump kept his promise not selling out to special interests and will never bow to nefarious plans."

Biden's Inflation Keeps Hurting Americans

Inflation is outpacing wage growth, data released Tuesday shows. From November 2021 to November 2022, real average hourly earnings decreased 1.9 percent. During that same time frame, the consumer price index increased 7.1 percent. 

Our Take:

• Americans continue to suffer as life becomes more expensive without any relief in sight. 
• Out of touch liberals called Tuesday's report "good." It's never good when inflation outpaces wage growth.
• President Trump presided over a booming economy where all Americans benefited and he will do it again.

The Background:

Here are some of the price increases from Tuesday's inflation report. 

From Nov 2021 -- Nov 2022:

• Food +10.6 percent
• Dairy +16.4 percent
• Gasoline +10.1 percent
• Rent +7.9 percent
• Airline fares +36 percent 
• New vehicles +7.2 percent
• Electricity +13.7 percent

This is an invasion

Shocking videos from the southern border show an invasion by thousands of illegal immigrants.

This is preventable. President Trump secured America's borders. Congressman Jim Jordan tweeted Monday, "We went from a secure border under President Trump’s watch, to this."

President Trump ended catch-and-release and proudly enforced our immigration laws.

Biden encourages illegal immigration by releasing illegal immigrants into the nation and by refusing to deport even serious criminals. The Washington Times reported Monday that ICE officers have been told to "cut down on arrests" of "serious criminals."

This directive comes after the Center for Immigration Studies exposed the Biden administration for deporting 71 percent fewer criminal illegal immigrants than Trump.

The GOP Needs Trump To Win

Make America Great Again Inc's Taylor Budowich wrote an analysis on how President Donald Trump's presence on the ballot is the GOP's key to victory. Read the full article in Newsmax HERE.

Biden Is Deporting Fewer Criminal Aliens

Newly released data shows deportations plummeting under Joe Biden. Biden is deporting 71 percent fewer criminal aliens than President Trump, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.

Our Take:
-President Trump kept Americans safe by deporting criminal illegal immigrants. 
-Biden is opposed to immigration enforcement. He campaigned on allowing illegal immigrant drunk drivers to stay in the country.
-Biden's open borders policies are putting Americans at risk. Every crime committed by an illegal immigrant is an avoidable crime.

The Background:
The Center for Immigration Studies found: "In the time period covering the first nine months of the Biden administration, ICE removed 16,351 locally arrested criminal aliens, down from 55,870 such removals that occurred during the same period in 2019, under Trump administration policies — a drop of 71 percent."

CIS looked at counties across the country. "In one representative county, Howard County, Texas, under Biden policies just half the number of criminals convicted of homicides were removed than before, and there also were steep drops in removals of criminals convicted of assault, burglary, drugs, larceny, and sex offenses."

Under Biden, deportations in general are plummeting. "According to ICE records, the number of removals nationwide declined from 186,000 in FY 2020 to 59,000 in FY 2021."

President Trump prioritized enforcing the law. In the first few months of his administration, ICE arrests increased 37.6 percent.

Biden is Abolishing ICE 

The Biden administration is taking policy advice from an Abolish ICE activist as Democrats continue dismantling our immigration enforcement system, The Daily Caller reports.

Our Take: 

• Border crossings surged to record highs under Biden because illegal immigrants know there are no consequences for breaking the law.
• Biden is effectively abolishing ICE by deporting and detaining fewer illegal immigrants.
• President Trump proudly enforced the law. ICE arrests and detention grew during the Trump administration. Enforcing immigration laws mean less violent crime and fewer drug overdoses.
• Congress should not reward illegal immigrants with amnesty.

The Background:

Biden repeatedly teams up with Abolish ICE activists.

The Daily Caller reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held a private event recently with a "panelist that pushed to abolish the agency, along with others against immigration detention that strongly criticized immigration enforcement during the meeting."

That panelist, law professor Peter Markowitz, once created his own “blueprint” to “allow us to abolish ICE.”

This is not the first time the Biden administration worked with radicals.

Fox News recently reported that a "nonprofit that called for the defunding and abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is overseeing a Department of Homeland Security pilot program to aid illegal immigrants facing deportation."

The administration even takes orders from Abolish ICE activists.

Fox News: "ICE emails show how agency chief halted deportation after 'Abolish ICE' activist's request"

Joe Biden continually criticizes immigration enforcement. He previously called for an end of deportation of illegal immigrants arrested for DUI. 

Biden worked to fulfill this promise by releasing guidelines shortly after entering the White House. They stopped the deportation of "illegal immigrants convicted of simple assault, driving under the influence, and 'less serious' drug crimes." 

Deportations plummeted nearly 70 percent during Biden's first year in office to the lowest level in history.

TODAY: Fifth Anniversary of Historic Embassy Move in Israel

Today marks five years since President Donald J. Trump announced that, in recognition of Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel, the United States would move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Our Take:

On Dec. 6, 2017, President Trump did what many previous presidents promised to do – but never did – and relocated the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, the nation’s true capital.

While in office, President Trump repeatedly took bold actions to strengthen Israel and deepen our vital alliance. With Joe Biden, however, Israel’s enemies are increasingly empowered, threatening peace in the Middle East and around the globe. 

• President Trump acknowledged Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and declared that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are not inconsistent with international law.
• The Trump Administration negotiated the historic Abraham Accords, which enhanced Israel’s security and prosperity, and created opportunities for the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and Kosovo. These countries strengthened their economic and cultural ties with Israel.
• Joe Biden reversed the Trump Administration’s actions taken against the Palestinian Authority. President Trump previously cut diplomatic ties and halted funding over the Palestinian Authority’s payments to terrorists and their families.
• President Trump withdrew the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the Iran Nuclear Deal, which failed to seriously address the threats posed by Iran to peace in the Middle East.
• Joe Biden empowered the Iranian Regime by resuming nuclear deal discussions, which would allow Tehran access to $274 billion in the first year the deal goes into effect. By 2030, Iran would have access to $1 trillion.

The Background: 

Every president since the passage of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 failed to fulfill America’s promise to cement the recognition of Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel and move the U.S. embassy. President Trump swore to fix that. On Dec. 6, 2017, he issued a presidential proclamation recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announcing the relocation of the U.S. embassy. 

Keeping his promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem was just one aspect of President Trump’s pro-Israel strategy. 

The Abraham Accords solidified diplomatic relationships between Israel and countries like the U.A.E., Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. President Trump further strengthened Israeli sovereignty by recognizing that the Golan Heights are part of the State of Israel. He also declared that Israeli settlements did not violate international law. Under the Trump Administration, the United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council due to the group’s blatant anti-Israel bias.

President Trump stood firm against Israel’s – and our – adversaries in the region. He also signed into law the Taylor Force Act, which cut U.S. funding to the Palestinian Authority over their payments to terrorists and the families of dead terrorists. The Trump Administration withdrew the U.S. from the disastrous Iran Nuclear Deal and imposed crippling sanctions on Iran. These sanctions devastated Iranian oil exports and reduced them by almost 90 percent, denying the regime its primary funding source. 

Thanks to Joe Biden’s weak leadership, Israel now faces increased threats to its right to exist from newly empowered rivals. 

Joe Biden restored payments to the Palestinian Authority, reversing President Trump’s decision. In July 2022, the White House announced that they would send them an additional $316 million in taxpayer dollars. This is “on top of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has provided” since Biden took office. Biden also resumed nuclear deal discussions with Iran. Re-engaging this deal would allow Tehran access to $274 billion during the first year it goes into effect and at least $1 trillion by 2030. 

Biden is emboldening our, and Israel’s, enemies. 

In recognition of President Trump’s historic achievements to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Israel, The Zionist Organization of America recently awarded him with their highest honor, the Theodor Herzl Medallion.

Morton Klein, the president of the ZOA, called President Trump “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” and thanked him for being “the first U.S. president, ever to pray at the holy Western Wall.” 

“You deserve, unquestionably, the Nobel Peace Prize for your extraordinary work,” Klein stated in his introduction of President Trump. 

“Today, the State of Israel stands as a living tribute to the unbreakable spirit of the Israeli people and the glory of Almighty God,” President Trump told those gathered at the ZOA’s 125th anniversary gala in November. “The U.S. and Israel,” he continued, “are not just allies on a military basis but economically and politically. We are allies morally, culturally, and spiritually, and we always will be— at least if I have anything to do with it.”

When Big Tech Censors Trump, They Censor All Of Us

In the Washington Times, MAGA Inc's Taylor Budowich breaks down how Big Tech's censorship of Donald Trump is an assault on the entire America First movement. Read the full article HERE.

ICYMI: TWITTER DOCUMENTS PROVE 2020 ELECTION WAS RIGGED AGAINST TRUMP

Newly released documents from Twitter show how the platform “took extraordinary steps to suppress” the New York Post’s bombshell reporting on Joe and Hunter Biden’s corruption in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential election. The documents also reveal how Twitter staff and executives routinely deleted Tweets at the request of Joe Biden’s team and the DNC.

Our Take:
This blatant manipulation by one of the largest social media platforms, on behalf of a Democrat candidate, was an explicit attempt to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The suppression of the Hunter Biden story measurably impacted the outcome of the election.

-According to Twitter documents reviewed by journalist Matt Taibbi, Twitter “took extraordinary steps to suppress” the Hunter Biden laptop story. It included blocking the ability to share the story by direct messages, “a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”
     -Twitter’s official excuse for suppressing the story was that it violated their “hacked content” policy; however, internal emails show Twitter’s own employees questioned the truth of this reason.
     -Twitter insiders also revealed that a “hacked materials” decision usually required law enforcement officials discovering an actual hack. No such finding appears in the documents.
-Other emails show Joe Biden’s team and the DNC successfully petitioned Twitter staff and executives to remove tweets.
-Full knowledge of the details of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led nearly 10 percent of Biden voters to abandon him—more than enough to flip the election in the six swing states won by Biden (AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI).
     -45.1 percent of Biden voters said they were unaware of the corruption scandal surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden.
     -One in six Biden voters would have abandoned him if they had known about one or more of eight major news stories suppressed by Big Tech and the mainstream media in the 2020 election.

The Background:
On Oct. 14, 2020, the New York Post published the first story in a series of devastating articles sourced from the contents of a laptop that Hunter Biden abandoned at a repair store. The article outlined how Hunter Biden introduced a senior executive at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden. This contradicted Biden’s oft-told lie that he never spoke with Hunter about his foreign business dealings.

Twitter then “took extraordinary steps to suppress” the Hunter Biden laptop story, including locking then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany out of her account for sharing the story. Twitter also blocked the ability to share the story by direct messages, “a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”

Using tools originally “designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters,” staff and executives at Twitter caved to outside pressure to censor and stifle speech “first a little, then more often, then constantly.” This pressure came directly from Joe Biden’s team and the DNC.

One internal email shows a Twitter executive discussing a list of Tweets sent by “the Biden team” for deletion on Oct. 24, 2020. Another Twitter executive replied, “handled these.” Another email from that same date shows an executive discussing another request, this one filed by the DNC.

While in office, President Trump stood up against Big Tech oligarchs unfairly censoring conservative ideas. He promoted the First Amendment rights of all Americans, especially for speech online.

In May 2020, President Trump signed the Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship that made it “the policy of the United States to foster clear ground rules promoting free and open debate on the internet.” It also ensured that federal tax dollars did not finance online platforms restricting free speech.

President Trump noted in his 2024 announcement that his movement would be resisted by “the most dangerous domestic censorship system ever created by man or woman.” These newly released documents paint a dark picture of the clandestine mechanisms used by the Democrats and tech executives to control public opinion and stifle any opposition to their socialist agenda.

President Trump fought this fight before and he will fight it again—the votes and voices of the American public should never be controlled by a hidden elite.

Biden Is Failing

The jobs data released Friday shows that over 500,000 Americans left the labor force in the past year.

Our Take:
-The labor force participation rate has still not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Biden is failing to get the economy back on track. 
-Americans entered the labor force under President Trump. The rate of women in the labor force, for example, consistently rose under Trump pre-pandemic.
-Democrats' excessive welfare policies incentivize many people to avoid work and instead cash government checks.
 

The Background:
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that between November 2021 and November 2022, 506,000 Americans dropped out of the labor force.

Rick Santelli on CNBC summed up Friday's job report showing a labor force participation rate of 62.1 percent by stating, "The labor force participation rate is moving in the wrong direction. This is not good."

The labor force participation rate declined for three straight months. In November, alone, a whopping 186,000 people left the labor force.

Biden Is Hiding The Extent Of The Border Crisis

A new Daily Caller report reveals that the Biden administration is underreporting the number of illegal immigrants released into the country without any monitoring by 18,000 percent! 

Our Take:
-Biden is hiding the extent of the border crisis. The whole world is pouring across our southern border. 
-This is dangerous. We don't know who is entering our nation. Of the illegal immigrants Border Patrol does apprehend, a rising number are on the terror watch list.
     -A record 98 terror watchlist arrests were made in Fiscal Year 2022. 
-President Trump secured the southern border. There are three times more border crossings under Biden than under President Trump. A secure border means fewer drug overdoses, fewer terrorists, and more jobs for Americans.

The Background:
The Daily Caller obtained an internal document showing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is hiding the real numbers from the public.

ICE disclosed to attendees of a private event that "there are 49,459 illegal aliens that aren’t monitored with any tracking equipment as of Nov. 14, while its own website says there are 266 as of Nov. 19. The figure sent to the program attendees is over 18,000% more than the figure ICE has on its website."

President Trump recognizes that publicly released data does not accurately reflect the situation at the border. 

"Right now, it’s a disaster. I believe it’s 10 million people coming in, not three or four million people, they’re pouring into our country," President Trump said at his 2024 announcement speech. "We have no idea who they are or where they come from. We have no idea what is happening to our country. "

Biden Is Destroying The Military

According to the Reagan National Defense Survey, only 48% of Americans have trust and confidence in our military. The reason? They see military leadership as “overly politicized” and blame “woke” practices for undermining military effectiveness.

Our Take:

·      While in office, President Trump understood the threat that the demoralizing, woke “trainings” posed to our nation’s military. The Trump Administration ordered executive branch agencies to identify and cancel any woke, anti-American “trainings.”
·      On Joe Biden’s first day in office, he undid President Trump’s orders and kept radical woke ideologies in the U.S. military.
·      Thanks to Biden’s actions, we now face a crisis of confidence in our military’s capability:
     o   62 percent of Reagan survey respondents said that the politicization of military leadership decreased their confidence in the military. 
     o   50 percent of respondents cited a great deal or some concern with “woke” practices undermining military effectiveness.
     o   Last year, for the first time in the survey’s history, a majority of respondents said they did not have a great deal of confidence and trust in the military.
     o   54 percent of Americans believe that the United States does not have a clear strategy for the China threat.


The Background:

Upon taking office, President Trump saw firsthand the dangerous impact that critical race theory and “woke” trainings had on military effectiveness. Federal agencies previously spent millions of taxpayer dollars on “‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.”

The Trump Administration ordered executive branch agencies to find and cancel any contracts or spending for critical race theory training “or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either…that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or…that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”

In September 2020, President Trump signed his Executive Order on Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping, stating that “our Uniformed Services should not teach our heroic men and women in uniform the lie that the country for which they are willing to die is fundamentally racist.”

“Such teachings,” President Trump wrote, “could directly threaten the cohesion and effectiveness of our Uniformed Services.”

On Joe Biden’s first day in office, he abandoned President Trump’s order to keep the radical, woke ideology out of our military. Within a month, the Air Force instructed their units to immediately resume anti-American, woke “trainings.” The Navy and the Army followed suit.  

This survey from the Ronald Reagan Institute clearly demonstrates how woke ideology insidiously erodes public trust and confidence in the military. Our brave patriots serving in uniform deserve so much better.

President Trump pledged in his 2024 announcement that he will “get Biden’s Radical Left ideology out of our military” and that we will again have “peace through strength.”

White House Lies - Biden Has Never Been To The Border

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday repeated what may be one of the more egregious lies of the Biden administration: that Joe Biden has been to the border.

Our take:

The White House continues to pretend that they are on top of the ongoing humanitarian and national security crisis at the southern border, however, border agents feel abandoned by the federal government while encounters with illegal immigrants continue to reach record highs. 

America is being destroyed by the invasion of our southern border. Lives are being lost, drugs are flooding our streets, and Joe Biden and the Radical Left would rather lie than address the problem.

President Trump delivered a secure border. He stood up and supported our law enforcement, and he continues to be the only Republican willing to fight back against the establishment of both parties.
Biden has blood on his hands as over 100,000 Americans are dying annually of drug overdoses.

The background:

Even the Washington Post’s “fact checker,” Glenn Kessler, couldn’t spin previous similar claims to the White House’s advantage: “We cannot find evidence that Biden at one point made a visit to the southern border.”

Jean-Pierre also claimed that “President Biden has been taking action to fix our immigration system and secure our border.” Republicans, Jean-Pierre claimed, are the ones who are not helping. 

This is another lie from the White House. Under Biden's direction, deportations have plummeted to the lowest number since 2008. A Border Patrol chief acknowledged in a deposition this summer that the lack of "consequences" under Biden is causing a surge of illegal migrants at the border. A record 2.7 million illegal immigrants crossed the border in Fiscal Year 2022.

Without secure borders, we cannot have a secure nation. Joe Biden has demonstrated a complete dereliction of his presidential duty. This repeated lie from the White House to cover up for the fact that the sitting president can’t be bothered to visit the southern border demonstrates an almost criminal level of neglect—Biden just does not care.

President Trump, on the other hand, visited the border within months of taking office, after making securing the border a cornerstone promise of his 2016 campaign—a promise he kept.

When he announced his intention to run in 2024, President Trump made special mention of “the now open and totally porous southern border.”

“Our southern border has been erased and our country is being invaded by millions and millions of unknown people…hundreds of thousands of pounds of deadly drugs, including very lethal fentanyl, are flooding across.”

This is a totally avoidable tragedy. Under President Trump, the southern border was as secure as it had ever been.

President Trump built over 400 miles of the world’s most advanced border wall and illegal crossings plummeted over 87 percent where the wall was completed. He instituted the “Remain in Mexico” policy to safely return asylum seekers to Mexico while they await hearings in the United States. President Trump also ended the dangerous practice of “catch-and-release,” which let untold numbers of illegal immigrants to disappear into our nation’s interior.

Biden has made it his administration’s goal to undo everything President Trump did to secure the border. President Trump secured the border once before. He can do it again.

Biden's Disastrous Afghan Withdrawal Helped China

Joe Biden’s weak and inept governance helped our adversaries.

His disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left 13 American troops dead and abandoned Americans behind Taliban lines. 

We now know that it served as a propaganda victory for China. 

Fox News: “President Biden's fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan was a propaganda gift to China, his Defense Department found Tuesday. 

The DOD's claim came as part of its annual report to Congress on national security developments relating to China, which it released Tuesday. 

The report suggests that China capitalized on the withdrawal to convince world leaders that the U.S. is not a reliable ally.  ‘The PRC employed multiple diplomatic tools in an attempt to erode U.S. and partner influence,’ the report reads, including ‘highlighting the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.’”

Biden’s weakness empowers China. The White House refused to emphatically support the recent rare protests against the Chinese Communist Party. 

Biden’s family ties to the Chinese Communist Party make him unfit for office. With President Trump’s leadership back in the White House, America will stand up to the authoritarian Chinese regime.

Personal Savings Plummet Under Biden

A new Reuters poll shows 66 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. This is unsurprising considering how awful life has become for so many under Biden’s lack of leadership.

The latest economic data shows that Democrat control has almost completely wiped out Americans’ personal savings.

The Biden presidency has eliminated 84 percent of Americans’ personal savings, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows.

In the first quarter of 2021, personal savings totaled $3.9 trillion. Personal savings declined 84 percent to 626 billion in the third quarter of 2022.

Americans’ personal savings haven’t been this low since 2009. 

Biden’s economy continues to fail Americans. This stands in stark contrast to the roaring Trump economy with record employment and rising incomes. 

As Americans struggle, the White House is bragging about gas prices that are 50 percent higher than when Biden took office.
 
Here are more statistics showing Biden’s failures:

The Daily Signal: “An economist says the average American family has lost upward of $7,000 due to inflation.”

CNBC: “As rising prices continue to outpace wage gains, families are finding less cushion in their monthly budget.  

As of September, 63% of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent LendingClub report — near the 64% historic high hit in March. A year ago, the number of adults who felt strained was closer to 57%.”

Reuters: “Heating oil costs for U.S. households rose by 65% in October compared to the same month last year, due to depleted stocks furthered by low imports and production constraints, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Thursday.  

The EIA's weekly Heating Oil and Propane Update showed heating oil prices climbed to a record high of $5.9 per gallon in the week ending Nov. 7, according to the data for the winter heating season from October through March going back to 1990.”

China Protests Show The Need For Trump's Leadership

Protests broke out across China as residents show their fury with the authoritarian regime.
 
President Trump stood up to President Xi and enacted tough-on-China policies. 
 
His administration indicted Chinese drug traffickers for distributing fentanyl, imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods, called out Beijing for committing “genocide” against the Uyghur Muslims, and stopped Chinese travel during COVID, which saved countless lives. 
 
President Trump is not done. During his announcement speech, he said “we will launch an all-out campaign to eliminate America’s dependence on China.” 
 
Biden, on the other hand, is weak on China. He is limited by his political weakness and obviously compromised by his family’s business dealings. Biden even ended a Trump administration program to combat Chinese espionage. He cannot be trusted to stand up to China’s authoritarian government. 
 
Washington Examiner (February 23, 2022): “Biden DOJ scuttles Trump's China crackdown amid criticism from the Left and CCP” 
 
“The Biden Justice Department announced Wednesday that it would pull the plug on a Trump-era initiative aimed at cracking down on China's economic espionage following a year of criticism from some fellow Democrats, hundreds of university professors, left-wing activists, and the Chinese Communist Party itself.” 

President Biden Wants To Ban Most Guns

President Joe Biden continues to show his disregard for the 2nd Amendment.

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” Biden said on Thanksgiving.

This is an assault on the rights of gun owners in America.

“The vast majority of firearms owned by the American public are semi-automatic," according to firearms reporter Stephen Gutowski.

Other Democrats support Biden’s sick assault on your rights. Bob Duff, the Democrat majority leader of the Connecticut State Senate, responded, "Thank you [President Biden] for supporting a ban on semi-automatic weapons."

President Trump protected Americans' gun rights.

The Heritage Foundation declared in Sep. 2020: “the Trump Administration has kept its word when it comes to our right to keep and bear arms.”

He protected gun stores from being shut down by overzealous Democrat politicians.

During COVID, the Trump Administration issued guidelines describing gun stores, ranges, and firearm and ammunition manufacturers “critical components of the nation’s workforce” to fight back against state closure of shooting ranges and gun stores.

Heritage: “Officially, this federal guidance applied only to the enforcement of federal laws or regulations. Nonetheless, it helped strengthen legal challenges to state closures and suggested that the federal government might intervene in such lawsuits on behalf of gun owners. As a result, several jurisdictions—including New Jersey and Los Angeles County—walked back their original orders to close gun stores.”


President Trump nominated and confirmed over 230 federal judges—including three SCOTUS Justices—scoring a massive victory for pro-2A rulings.

President Trump at the SOTU 2020: “So long as I am president, I will always protect your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.”

"The Most Partisan Special Counsel in History"

Special Counsel Jack Smith's history of targeting conservatives has Republicans in agreement -- Smith is a partisan hack.

In the week since Attorney General Garland's appointment of Smith, it's been revealed that Smith led botched prosecutions of political leaders, targeted conservative nonprofits, and is married to a Joe Biden donor who produced a glowing documentary about Michelle Obama. 

Congressman Jim Jordan, ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, wrote:
"-Botched prosecutions
-Politically biased
-Hand picked by Merrick Garland
Jack Smith may be the most partisan special counsel in history."

Congressman Matt Gaetz, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said on War Room that House Republicans must "defund this explicitly political exercise against President Trump."

Congressman Troy Nehls wrote: "The wife of the special counsel appointed by the DOJ to go after President Trump produced the Michelle Obama documentary. She was also a donor to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. Are you paying attention yet?"

House Republican Chair Elise Stefanik wrote: "Joe Biden's DOJ's special counsel Jack Smith is compromised. He was directly involved in the Lois Lerner IRS scandal illegally targeting conservatives. The corrupt weaponization and politicization of Biden’s DOJ must be stopped."

Congressman Andrew Clyde wrote: "You just can’t make this stuff up. Katy Chevigny, wife of Jack Smith—the special counsel appointed by DOJ to go after President Trump, donated to Joe Biden’s campaign and produced Michelle Obama’s documentary. America cannot stand with a corrupt, two-tiered justice system."

Revealing Special Counsel Jack Smith's Troubling Past

Special Counsel Jack Smith has a history of bad judgement and investigating conservatives, according to Congressman Jim Jordan and former Virginia Republican Governor Bob McDonnell.

Former Gov. Bob McDonnell told Newsmax in an interview that he is “very concerned” about Jack Smith heading the investigation into President Trump. Smith previously led a prosecution against Gov. McDonnell that was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court.

Excerpts from McDonnell’s interview:

"I just think there's a real judgement problem...It just shows me perhaps a lack of judgement in being overzealous, in being overly aggressive and completely wrong in a novel legal theory that was debunked by the Supreme Court."

"This is a major investigation of the former President of the United States and the judgement that was used in my case...shows that there were some real serious errors made here. And I'm very concerned about this person heading it up."

"To now put that person in charge of one of the most significant cases in modern history that the DOJ is responsible for -- to oversee multiple investigations of the former President of the United States -- it just seems like maybe there might have been some other attorneys that didn't come in with that kind of history."

Congressman Jim Jordan, meanwhile, told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that Jack Smith tried to find ways to target conservatives during the Lois Lerner scandal.

“Guess who was the lead person at the Justice Department looking for ways to target and prosecute the very people looking into who Lois Lerner went after? Jack Smith, the guy Merrick Garland just named as special counsel to go after President Trump.”
 

Americans Are Struggling Heading Into The Holiday Season

Biden’s economy is failing Americans.

They are heading into the Christmas season facing increasing inflation and with declining savings.

CNBC: 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck heading into the peak shopping season

“Just as the holiday shopping season gets into full swing, families are finding less slack in their budgets than before. 

As of October, 60% of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck, according to a recent LendingClub report. A year ago, the number of adults who felt stretched too thin was closer to 56%.

‘More consumers who have historically managed their budgets comfortably are feeling the financial strain, which will impact their spending behavior as we head into the holiday shopping season,’ said Anuj Nayar, LendingClub’s financial health officer.

Not only are day-to-day expenses higher, but inflation has also caused real wages to decline.

Real average hourly earnings are down 3% from a year earlier, according to the latest reading from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

A separate report by Salary Finance found that two-thirds of working adults said they are worse off financially than they were a year ago. 

Already, credit card balances are surging, up 15% in the most recent quarter, the largest annual jump in more than 20 years.

Roughly half of shoppers said they will buy fewer things due to higher prices, and more than one-third said they will rely on coupons or other money-saving strategies, according to a separate survey by RetailMeNot. 

More consumers also plan to finance their purchases this year with credit cards and buy now, pay later loans. 

And 25% of shoppers said they would opt for cheaper versions or more practical gifts, such as gas cards, according to another holiday survey by TransUnion.”

PYMNTS: Holiday Spending out of Reach for Millions of Households This Year  

“Visions of sugarplums could be the only thing millions of Americans can count on getting during the 2022 holidays, as new PYMNTS data has uncovered a painful insight into how inflation is eroding personal buying power.

This, as the latest New Reality Check: The Paycheck-To-Paycheck Report: The Holiday Shopping Edition, a PYMNTS and LendingClub collaboration, discovered that 15 million consumers who shopped for gifts in 2021 wouldn’t be doing so this year.

In all, 79% of respondents said they would shop for the 2022 holiday season, marking a nearly nine percentage point drop from the 88% who shopped last year.

‘It’s such a sad statistic that came out of this report,’ Anuj Nayar, financial health officer at LendingClub, told PYMNTS. ‘That means people are not buying gifts, many for the first time.’

With the ranks of paycheck-to-paycheck households rising four percentage points to 60% since October 2021, the new study finds that malaise is spreading to middle-income and high-income earners, with 65% of those earning $50,000 and $100,000 and 43% of those earning over $100,000 now living paycheck to paycheck, a rise of 58% and 38%, respectively.

Nayar found it particularly concerning that more Americans plan to make holiday purchases with credit cards and alternatives like buy now pay later (BNPL) when the open-to-buy on the average credit card is nearly exhausted, and POS credit carries issues of its own.

Remarking on report findings that 40% of Americans plan to use some form of financing to manage their holiday spending, Nayar said: ‘If you’re using credit cards for convenience, knock yourself out. But most people are not.’

‘Credit card debt is at an all-time high. Credit card rates are reaching all-time highs,’ he added. ‘What the report showed was that, specifically for those who are struggling to pay their bills, they are almost saturating their credit card balances. They have on average, I think, a $4,500 balance, and they are at 97% of that.’”

It's Time For A Special Counsel For Hunter Biden

Attorney General Merrick Garland must appoint a special counsel to investigate the Biden crime family. 

CBS News finally reported on the contents of Hunter’s laptop two years after CBS anchor Lesley Stahl told President Trump Hunter Biden’s laptop could not be verified.

It’s past time for a proper investigation from the Justice Department into the corruption exposed by Hunter’s laptop. It’s been months since dozens of Republican senators called for Attorney General Garland to appoint a special counsel to probe whether Hunter Biden committed "tax fraud, money laundering, and foreign-lobbying violations." 

Garland ignored these demands and instead appointed a special counsel to continue the endless hoax investigations into President Trump.

Many are now renewing calls for a special counsel to be appointed in the Hunter Biden probe.

Maria Bartiromo on Fox News said, “What about the Biden family investigation? Shouldn’t there be a special counsel there?”

Quin Hillyer at The Washington Examiner wrote: "Garland looks hypocritical in naming special counsel against Trump but not Biden"

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) tweeted that Attorney General Garland must “acknowledge the obvious conflict of interest in Hunter Biden investigation and appoint a special counsel.”

Brit Hume on Fox News Sunday said “the reason you appoint an independent counsel is if there's a conflict of interest. There certainly is where Mr. Biden and Attorney General Garland are concerned, and therefore an investigation of Mr. Biden's family would seem to fall under the heading of something that would require that, but they haven't done it. That opens them up to, I think, reasonable criticism.”

Former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman on Fox News said: "You have to ask yourself, how do you under this criteria appoint this special prosecutor, and not have done it in the Biden situation?”

MAGA Inc. News Roundup for Sunday, December 4, 2022

Good Evening! 

Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” have delivered even more evidence of the unprecedented effort in 2020 to steal the election from Donald Trump. The result of that election interference has been a disaster for Americans and people around the globe. 

Economic data shows businesses are struggling to pay rent and Americans are saving less than they have in over a decade. The Iranian regime, emboldened by Joe Biden’s weakness, continues to crack down on protesters. One bit of good news is that it appears Joe Biden’s counterproductive military vaccine mandate is coming to an end. 

We need President Trump back in office to rehire all the servicemembers fired due to the mandate and give them the back pay they deserve.

Below are the issues defining this week’s coverage and the facts every America First champion should be armed with.

Silence from the major liberal news media after Twitter documents reveal proof that Joe Biden and the DNC worked with senior executives to silence the Hunter Biden story:
-There were zero mentions of the newly released Twitter documents on any of the mainstream media Sunday shows. 
     -Only Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures covered the shocking reporting that a major social media platform coordinated with a Democrat candidate to influence the outcome of an election.
-According to the documents, Twitter staff and executives “took extraordinary steps to suppress” the Hunter Biden laptop story as first reported by the New York Post. 
     -Twitter blocked the ability to share the story by direct messages, “a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”
     -Many users were also locked out of their accounts for sharing the story, including then-White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
-Twitter’s official excuse for suppressing the story was that it violated their “hacked content” policy.
     -Sources at Twitter revealed that a “hacked materials” decision usually required law enforcement officials finding a hack. There was no such finding in this instance, yet they continued to use the “hacked materials” justification for suppressing the story.
     -Internal emails show that Twitter’s own employees questioned the truth of this reasoning at the time of the decision.
-Other emails show Joe Biden’s campaign and the DNC successfully petitioning Twitter staff and executives to remove tweets and suppress accounts. 
-Full knowledge of the details of the Hunter Biden scandal would have led nearly 10 percent of Biden voters to abandon him—more than enough to flip the election in the six swing states won by Biden (AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI).
     -45.1 percent of Biden voters said they were unaware of the corruption scandal surrounding Joe and Hunter Biden. 
-One in six Biden voters would have abandoned him if they had known about one or more of eight major news stories suppressed by Big Tech and the mainstream media in the 2020 election. 


The military appears set to end its disastrous vaccine mandate
-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced on Sunday Morning Futures that the annual defense bill will not get passed unless it ends the military's vaccine mandate. 
-Thousands of service members have been kicked out of the military due to the vaccine mandate. This is coming during a period of declining enlistment and the top Marine general acknowledged it is hurting recruitment.
-During his 2024 announcement speech, President Trump said, “We will abolish every Biden Covid mandate and rehire every patriot who was fired from our military, with an apology and full back pay. Thank you. They deserve an apology. They deserve full back pay, and they will get it.”
-President Trump has a record of standing up for the military. He rebuilt the military and lead by peace through strength. 


As pro-freedom protests continue to challenge the Iranian regime, Joe Biden’s foreign policy weakness becomes increasingly apparent:
-The Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terror, has long oppressed the Iranian people. For weeks now, following the murder of a woman by their “morality police,” Iranians have taken to the streets to protest the authoritarian ruling regime.
-The Biden administration empowered the Iranian Regime by resuming nuclear deal discussions. President Trump understood that Iranian claims that their nuclear program was peaceful were outright lies.
-Resuming this deal would allow Tehran access to $274 billion during the first year it goes into effect and at least $1 trillion by 2030. Joe Biden will be financing the terrorist and oppressive government. 
-President Trump understood the threat that the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leadership pose to peace within the Middle East and around the globe.
     -The core objective of President Trump’s strategy for Iran was “the systemic change in the Islamic Republic’s hostile and destabilizing actions,” and included standing with the people of Iran, “the long-suffering victims of the regime.”
     -He withdrew the United States from the disastrous Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or the Iran Nuclear Deal, which failed to seriously address the threats posed by Iran and to end it development of a nuclear weapon.
     -President Trump ordered the drone strike which killed “the world’s top terrorist,” Iranian military officer Qassim Soleimani. 
     -The Trump Administration imposed crippling sanctions on Iran. This included such rigorous enforcement that Iranian oil exports were reduced to zero, denying the regime its principal source of income.

Economic data shows Americans are struggling under Biden
-Americans are dropping out of the labor force under President Biden. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that between November 2021 and November 2022, 506,000 Americans dropped out of the labor force.
-Savings are also dropping precipitously low. The personal savings rate is at its lowest level since 2005.
-A poll from Alignable found that "41% of U.S.-based small business owners report that they could not pay their rent in full and on time in November, a new record for 2022."
-President Trump presided over an economic boom. The Trump economy was the fastest-growing in history and had the lowest unemployment in 50 years.

MAGA Inc. News Roundup for Sunday, November 27, 2022

Good Evening! 

While most of America is trying to enjoy the holiday season, Joe Biden and the Democrats are scrambling to further cement their radical agenda before they lose their grip on power. In the closing month of 2022, the radical left Democrats are pressing for a sweeping ban on legal firearms, COVID hysteria, and a brazen assault on American energy security.   

No one has been a stronger and more effective fighter when it comes to advancing the conservative agenda than President Trump. His campaign for President is providing the vision to Make America Great Again and is ensuring Republican leaders fight for the America First agenda that was campaigned on. 

Below are the issues defining this week’s coverage and the facts every America First champion should be armed with.

Radical Left Democrats are working to take your guns—and they want to do it before the end of the year. 
-Biden called for “semi-automatic” weapons ban on Thanksgiving Day. He followed up by saying he wants Congress to pass a ban on legally owned so-called assault rifles in the lame-duck.
     -The Justice Department's own study on the 1994 "assault weapons" ban found that it had no impact on gun violence.
     -FBI statistics show more murders are committed with blunt objects or knives than are committed with rifles. 
-Democrats are so committed to gun control that they are willing to defund conservative states and counties.  
     -Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy floated on CNN that the Senate needs to discuss whether the U.S. will continue to "supply funding to law enforcement" in "Second Amendment sanctuaries."
-This is not just an assault on guns. It’s an assault on safety, on law-abiding families, and an assault on those who have sacrificed everything for this country. 

While most Thanksgiving travelers were preparing to head back home on Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci did the rounds on the morning shows to stoke more pandemic fear ahead of Christmas. 
-On CBS News’ Face The Nation, Fauci was asked if grandparents need to be concerned seeing their grandchildren this Christmas season. Fauci responded that when “coming into a crowded place” that it “makes sense” to be concerned and to mask. 
     -This comes as brave men and women in China are standing up to the CCP’s draconian zero-COVID policy.
-When asked about upcoming Republican investigations into himself and the origins of COVID, Fauci responded that he’s “very much in favor of legitimate oversight,” and that he will cooperate. He also stated that he is “not political at all.” 
     -Fauci acknowledged President Trump was right to take an “anti-China approach,” but implied that the reason that Beijing is not cooperating and sharing data is because President Trump criticized them. 
     -Fauci: “What happens is that if you look at the anti-China approach, that clearly the Trump Administration had right from the very beginning, and the accusatory nature, the Chinese, they’re gonna flinch back and say ‘Oh, I’m sorry, we’re not gonna talk to you about it.’ 
     -Fauci still claims that the “evidence is quite strong” that COVID had a natural origin. 
Senate Republicans found that it "appears reasonable to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident." 
-Fauci is an activist, not a scientist. If it wasn’t for President Trump’s leadership in challenging Fauci and the D.C. establishment, millions more Americans would have died, and America’s economy would have been decimated.  
     -President Trump led and made tough decisions, even while many other Republicans just followed the weathervanes of “public opinion.”   

President Trump is a strong supporter of Israel and steadfast opponent of anti-Semitism. 
-President Trump took several actions to combat anti-Semitism. 
     -President Trump signed an executive order to make it clear that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act applies to discrimination rooted in anti-Semitism. The EO responded to a dramatic rise in anti-Semitic incidents since 2013, particularly anti-Semitism faced by Jewish students on college and university campuses. 
     -On Jan. 14, 2019, President Trump signed the “Combating European Anti-Semitism Act of 2017,” which declares that “it is in the United States national interest to combat anti-Semitism at home and abroad.” 
-President Trump is a steadfast ally of Israel. 
     -The Zionist Organization of America recently honored President Trump for his support of Israel.  
     -President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel and cemented this recognition by swiftly moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
     -Under President Trump, the United States withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council due to the group’s blatant anti-Israel bias.

Biden is emptying our Strategic Petroleum Reserve while allowing more drilling in Venezuela 
-Biden has granted permission for Chevron to produce and export oil from Venezuela. The Biden administration claims this has nothing to do with rising oil prices, but that’s hard to believe. Gas prices continue to be unreasonably high. San Diego County set a Thanksgiving gas price record with an average price of $5.145 a gallon. 
     -President Trump stood up to Venezuela’s dictator Nicholas Maduro. President Trump’s DOJ charged Maduro and other Venezuelan officials with narco-terrorism for flooding the U.S. with deadly drugs. This is who Biden has decided to partner with. 
-As Biden turns to dictators for oil, he is endangering our national security by draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It is now at the lowest level since March 1984. 
     -A Biden adviser proposed filling up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at $70 a barrel. Democrats rejected President Trump's proposal in 2020 to refill it at $24 a barrel. 
 
House Republicans float impeachment of DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas
-Mayorkas has completely failed in his position. It is a dereliction of duty that millions and millions of unvetted, potentially dangerous immigrants have invaded our nation unchecked. 
-President Trump built over 400 miles of the southern border wall, and illegal immigrant crossings plummeted by more than 87% where the wall was finished.
     -Biden halted construction of the border wall on his first day in office.
-President Trump instituted the Migrant Protection Protocols, or the “Remain in Mexico” policy, to safely return asylum seekers to Mexico while they await hearings in the United States. 
-President Trump ended the dangerous practice of “Catch-and-Release,” which let untold numbers of illegal immigrants to disappear into our nation’s interior.
