Nineteen days after Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, the Saudi regime has at last acknowledged the obvious, that Khashoggi is dead. After first insisting that he had left the consulate of his own accord despite video evidence to the contrary, and then slamming the allegations of his murder as “baseless” and threatening oil sanctions against those claiming otherwise, the kingdom has finally settled on its official story: Khashoggi was inadvertently killed inside the consulate during a fistfight that just happened to break out in the midst of an otherwise standard meeting with...

President Trump said the US will “turn away” the thousands of Central American migrants heading to the US border in search of asylum and blamed Democrats for being weak on immigration. “Full efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Souther (sic) Border. People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the U.S. will turn them away,” Trump wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday. “The courts are asking the U.S. to do things that are not doable!”

Full Title: Tom Arnold Challenges Trump to a Fight – Issues Thinly Veiled Beheading Threat “Next Time Kathy Won’t be Holding His Fake Head!” At the time of this publication, the threatening tweet is still on Twitter–Trump-haters can tweet vile threats to President Trump and his supporters without fear of reprisal. Twitter never takes action against celebrity accounts that tweet threats to Trump. Peter Fonda previously called for President Trump’s 11-year-old son Barron to be kidnapped and put in a cage with pedophiles and Twitter took zero disciplinary action against Fonda. In contrast, Trump supporters are banned and suspended from...

As the final two weeks of campaigning begin, Democrats hold an edge in both the gubernatorial and Senate contests in the key state of Florida, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS. Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum holds a wide 12-point edge over his Republican opponent Rep.

According to a report by the New York Times, the Trump administration is again looking at ways to attack the rights of transgender people in the United States. A memo released by the Department of Health and Human Services showed an effort to narrow the definition of gender to male or female, and for that assignation to be unchangeable from birth. “Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” read the memo. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a...

A Central American migrant has blasted President Donald Trump in angry comments to CNN’s Bill Weir at the border between Mexico and Guatemala. “Donald Trump is the antichrist,” the unidentified man can bee seen saying in Spanish during a CNN report aired this weekend on the immigrant caravan that has traveled to the Mexican border from Honduras. “If he doesn’t repent, he’s going to hell,” the man adds. Thousands of Central American migrants have joined a caravan that originally formed more than a week ago in Honduras. Trump has repeatedly threatened Central American leaders with complete aid cuts if the...

President Trump's approval rating before the November elections has jumped to a higher level than former President Obama's ahead of the 2010 midterms, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. The poll found Trump's approval rating at its highest level for that poll yet at 47 percent. Obama's approval rating was 45 percent around the same time in 2010, according to a similar NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken in late October 2010. Obama's approval rating was reaching a record low in October 2010, just before his party lost a significant number of seats in the House and Senate. President...

Democrats itching to investigate President Trump’s possible conflicts of interests have zeroed in on a familiar presidential foe: the FBI. House Democrats released a trove of new documents this week that they say prove Trump was directly involved in canceling plans developed by the federal government to sell the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. Critics argue that Trump intervened because he wanted to prevent commercial developers from building a new property at the downtown Washington, D.C., spot that might compete with the Trump Hotel, which is located across the street. If Democrats take back the House this fall, they say...

Democrat New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is now being accused of sexual assault by a man. On Saturday, an anonymous man released a detailed four page document on Twitter, claiming the incident happened when Booker visited his workplace back in 2014. He claims Booker followed him to the bathroom, touched him inappropriately, and approached him for oral sex. The man says he reached out to two lawyers earlier this month disclosing his name, date, location, corroborating evidence, and two possible hearsay witnesses. The reported victim also said watching Booker’s defense of alleged sexual assault victims was “laughably ironic, jarringly cringe-worthy,...

Speaking to reporters, Mr Trump said Russia had "violated" the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty. The US would not let Russia "go out and do weapons while we're not allowed to", Mr Trump said. "I don't know why President Obama didn't negotiate or pull out," the president said after a campaign rally in Nevada. "They've been violating it for many years." National Security Adviser John Bolton is expected to tell the Russians of the withdrawal during talks in Moscow later this week.

Ever since Donald Trump asked ‘What the hell do you have to lose’ in reference to inviting black voters to consider him during the 2016 Presidential election, the Democrats have had the vapors – not because they think black voters wouldn’t vote for Trump, but because they were afraid they would. And indeed many did. Not in overwhelming numbers, but Trump did very well, particularly among black men, especially considering the concerted media push to paint him as a racist. And if he or any Republican gets 20% of the black vote, it’s game over for Democrats, which they know,...

New WSJ/NBC News poll finds President Trump’s job-approval rating at 47%, the highest mark of his time in office.

Heading to Nevada to help a man who has become a good friend, Senator Dean Heller. He is all about #MAGA and I need his Help and Talent in Washington. Also, Adam Laxalt will be a GREAT GOVERNOR, and has my complete and total Endorsement. Winners Both!

CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico (AP) — Despite Mexican efforts to stop them at the border, a growing throng of Central American migrants resumed their advance toward the U.S. border early Sunday in southern Mexico. Their numbers swelled to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile (1.5 kilometers). It was not immediately clear where the additional travelers had materialized from since about 2,000 gathered on the Mexican side Saturday night. They seemed likely to be people who had been waiting on the bridge...

POTUS, Donald J. Trump addressing his "MEGA" cheering, 10,000 people political rally, that was held in "small town", (47,000 people), Elko, Nevada openly chided Ex-Obama, VP, Joe Biden for his "Magnificent, Powerful One-Hundred-Ninety-Three" (193) well attended (NOT) people political rally that was held in "MEGA" Las Vegas, yesterday in a local union hall!!! Of course, the Obama/Biden Media fired back in retort to POTUS, Trump, by declaring there really was between 200-550 people there, as if that makes any difference. WOW.....I am now really impressed by the "Biden" drawing power of rally attendees. And...I believe come Monday next week ex-Democrat,...

It was inevitable. First, “CNN's Cuomo: Trump Looked Like He Was Thinking Racist Thoughts While Talking To Kanye West” and then “NBC’s John Harwood says that President Donald Tump has added to his secret lexicon of racist dog whistles – the new addition is ‘mob.’” Or as Ed Driscoll says, if you can hear the dog whistle, you’re the dog.Anyway, as a result of the recent spate of “wokeness” concerning dog-whistle racist behavior the anti-racist statue removal program has been resumed. We simply must destroy all old white guy symbols of rational thought, as it has been deemed not only...

RUSH: It’s amazing Russian collusion stories disappeared from the media’s radar. The only thing I compare it with is how gun control completely disappeared too. Amazing? Gun control gone, Russian collusion gone, and yet Russian collusion was going to be how the Democrats would win the House back! Remember? What happened to it, hmm? Must not have been any, hmm? At least by Trump and the Republicans, hmm? BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Let’s review some things that were in the news 24/7. And the reason they were in the news 24/7, because this was how the Drive-By Media, working with the...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Every week in American politics is different. They all have their ebbs and flows, their dramas, their comedies, their pratfalls and their tragedies. Typically, they all have their own narratives, the overriding major story or stories that our fake news media conspire with the Democrat Party to push into the public domain for political advantage. Sometimes, a single narrative dominates the entire week – as happened a few weeks ago with the whole Kavanaugh drama. Most of them end up being ineffective, although a few end up having legs,...
