"THEY’RE NOT AFTER ME, THEY’RE AFTER YOU …I’M JUST STANDING IN THE WAY!” DONALD J. TRUMP, 45th President of the United States

The predictive power of horse-race polling a year from the presidential election is weak at best. The Biden campaign can take some comfort in that. But what recent surveys do reveal is that the coalition that put Biden in the White House in the first place is nowhere near as strong as it was four years ago... These danger signs include fraying support among core constituencies, including young voters, Black voters and Hispanic voters, and the decline, if not the erasure, of traditional Democratic advantages in representing the interests of the middle class and speaking for the average voter. Any...

CALIFORNIA — Hurricane Hilary made landfall today in California, quickly destroying tens of thousands of emails upon her arrival. "My house is fine, but my email server -- annihilated," said San Diego resident Jim McKay. "Nature is so weird like that." Despite weakening to a category one hurricane, Hilary still packed a vicious punch upon making landfall. "I'm ok, but the storm somehow crushed my cell phone," said local woman Alicia Gonzales. "I mean, it's like someone took a hammer to this thing. People are letting down their guard because Hilary has weakened, but she's still got power where it...

Without a doubt, former President Donald Trump is being put through the wringer by state and federal prosecutors who seem bent on sending him to prison for the rest of his life in what his supporters see as purely political persecution. And though he’s managed to weather many storms since becoming president in 2016, the “hellish” times he is going through now have been difficult even for him, according to sources close to the former first couple. But, according to sources who spoke to Page Six, Donald Trump is being comforted by his wife, who has been described as a...

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York City, the fourth child of Fred Trump, a Bronx-born real-estate developer whose parents were German immigrants, and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, an immigrant from Scotland.

"Trump is likely going to be indicted three more times this year — Fulton County plus two criminal indictments from Jack Smith and DOJ. This means President Trump will be facing four criminal trials in 2024, and if Julie is correct, he could possibly be sitting in prison for the next 12 months awaiting trial."

I remember this commercial, but completely forgot about it. A must watch classic commercial. If we only knew then what we know today. We would have clamored for him to run in 2020. Love this guy, and RIP Ivana.

Ivana Trump, the Czech American ex-wife of former President Donald Trump and mother of Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr., died Thursday. She was 73. Trump was discovered at the bottom of a staircase in her home on 10 E. 64th St. in Manhattan at 12:40 p.m., police sources told The Post. Authorities believe she suffered a cardiac arrest, but the official cause of death has yet to be determined. She was found by cops who were called to her home for a wellness check, police said.

Known unknowns

Michael Cohen, formerly a personal lawyer for former President Donald Trump, predicted Thursday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that Rudy Giuliani would do what he did and turn on Trump. Cohen said, “I told him was that Donald Trump doesn’t care about anyone or anything, that he will be the next one to be thrown under the bus, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”

..... ....Rumors even swirled that Barron was getting a Goldendoodle puppy named Patton to go along with his new home. However, as of this writing, Patton has yet to arrive. Does Barron Trump have a nanny? In a September 2015 interview with People, Donald and Melania Trump insisted they did not use a nanny to help raise Barron Trump. "I like to be hands-on," Melania told the magazine. "I think it's very important. Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time. As you know my husband is traveling...

Ex-Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson allegedly committed “shockingly violent” acts of sexual assault against his former driver, an officer who was with him on the controversial night that ultimately led to his firing last year. In a lawsuit filed late Wednesday, Officer Cynthia Donald said Johnson raped and abused her repeatedly for more than three years, and later destroyed evidence of that abuse on his cellphone when the city Inspector General was investigating his conduct.

Trump's first guest appearance on Late Night was taped fourteen months later on December 2, 1987, and aired on December 22. He came on to promote his book he didn't write, _Art of the Deal_. It being the run-up to the 1988 campaign, Dave asked if he were interested in running for the presidency. The story behind his feud with NYC mayor Ed Koch was uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tych7... Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder then guested on December 18 and discussed the prospects of a possible Trump campaign. (Snyder would be fired from CBS a month later.)

A controversial video went viral Monday showing President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump brandishing guns as a mostly peaceful group of reporters approached the White House. Trump held an AR-15 and Melania waved around a semiautomatic pistol as reporters neared the White House, presumably to ask questions. The reporters claimed they were just there for a press briefing, but Trump claims the reporters threatened to destroy his presidency and that his standing there with guns was simply a form of defense. “What do you want?” Trump is heard asking the reporters in the video. “We’re just here to ask...

Every one of the icky Democrat party candidates is a wannabe tyrant who is not qualified to be president but that doesn’t mean one of them can’t win. I watched the Democrat primary debate and had very mixed feelings. On the one hand, I thought that this collection of despots, whether socialists (everyone but Mike Bloomberg) or just naturally despotic (Mike Bloomberg) doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in a hot place come the general election. On the other hand, the mere fact that five of them are the ones the party faithful have winnowed down as potential presidents and that...

The popular page "The_Donald" was instrumental in the 2016 eleciton sharing Memes and information for the campaign. Following up the Google/Veritas revelations that big tech is committed to defeating Donald Trump, Reddit has placed the page under a "Quarantine" which means you have to click past a security warning. Most likely, the plan next is to delete the page for having "Hate speech" to prevent it's nearly 1 million users from creating viral campaigns there for 2020. This was posted on the site: Quarantine. Dear Mods, We want to let you know that your community has been quarantined, as outlined...

Reddit’s “The_Donald” group claims 740,000 subscribers, or “patriots,” as they call themselves. This raucous corner of the internet is home to all things wonderful about Trump and tends to get slammed by critics as toxic to the public discourse. From Islamophobia and misogyny to disinformation and propaganda, the group is often called out for violating Reddit’s rulebook. Yet, even as more sites have been purged across social media, “The_Donald” is still going strong. But why? Let former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao explain it: ‘The fear that platform employees have of their users drives a lot of decision making in ways...

Well, it’s official. Trump has beaten his first Democratic opponent, and I use that term generously. Creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti has decided he’s not running for president in 2020. BASTA! Yeah, we’ve all had enough of this clown, even Democrats—who are probably secretly fuming that he inserted himself into the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation fight with a nut job who had a totally unbelievable and completely unsubstantiated story that the judge was part of a gang rape ring in high school. The two other women who had accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct also had similar shoddy stories that...

On Wednesday, European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted the following: "Looking at latest decisions of @realDonaldTrump someone could even think: with friends like that who needs enemies. But frankly, EU should be grateful. Thanks to him we got rid of all illusions. We realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm. 8:36 AM - May 16, 2018" The vacuous stupidity of that statement is defined by what lies east and south of Brussels, where Tusk is based. Tusk's is the most pathetically ironic of tweets. He fires off his tweets...
