Trump signs EO stating that he will IGNORE all lower court rulings until SCOTUS rules on the Constitutionality of activist Judges attempting to usurp Executive power.

President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue. “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in...

The FBI said Wednesday it had no answers regarding dozens of drone sightings reported across New Jersey’s night skies in recent weeks. ... Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said during a Wednesday afternoon briefing there was “no evidence these are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.” She also refuted a claim by U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew who said the drones were being launched by an Iranian mothership. “No there is not any truth to that,” said Singh. ... New Jersey officials ‘frustrated’ after drone meeting [see comment below for details of that meeting]. It was...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ridiculed Donald Trump on the campaign trail after the former president appeared to briefly struggle while climbing into a garbage truck. Trump staged the moment to hit at President Joe Biden for calling Trump supporters garbage – or at least seeming to do so in a mangled comment during a zoom fundraising call. Trump's team engineered a PR coup by having the former president get inside a garbage truck to condemn his rival, then appear in a safety vest during an election when working class voters are key. But footage of Trump briefly missing the truck's...

I don't see why there seems to be so much disruption and confusion over natural communication problems due to aging related cognitive decline. This is not an occasion for shock and dismay. Father time is doing his natural work. Bright smiles and positive loving messages for the family are in order. Our finest educators and scientists continued in their roles as anchors of their institutions and bright stars in in the faculty of premier universities for many years after their years of productivity. Give Joe Biden a party, a good-sounding title (One is mentioned in the title) and let's move...

The U.S. government on Tuesday acknowledged, for the first time, the harmful role it has played over the past century in building and operating dams in the Pacific Northwest — dams that devastated Native American tribes by inundating their villages and decimating salmon runs while bringing electricity, irrigation and jobs to nearby communities.

Sorry folks, I think I've created a monster. There's a difference between hard rules and soft guidelines. FR is intended for family audiences. Even though I'm a sailor and a sinner I know not to use the F bomb in mixed company. So do you. But I think I effed up By isolating the sh word in a prior post. We all know that BS Is B S especially in politics. Even women and children know that BS is BS. No need to report it every time you see it. We're swamping our abuse reporting system. My own sainted mother...

Former President Donald Trump has confirmed that six Republicans are on his shortlist for a potential running mate and vice president at a town hall on Monday. In his first hint at who could be his Vice President if he wins the election in November, Trump's list included two former opponents and an ex-Democrat. Trump, 77, confirmed Florida Governor and one-time foil Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina are all among the ex-rivals being considered. South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Florida Republican Byron Donalds, and former Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard are on his shortlist....

The 2024 Republican primary is over. Donald Trump will be the nominee, so all attention turns to his running mate. Who will it be? Earlier this month, Trump heavily insinuated that he’d already made his decision but will reveal it later. Like The Apprentice, it’s all about the show, but there are some concerns that he might pick Nikki Haley, who still hasn’t dropped out of her quixotic campaign for the Republican nomination. Trump seems to have ruled her out, calling her a person not made of “presidential timber.”The media has their list, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Elise Stefanik,...

Team DeSantis is now praying for the destruction of our country. pic.twitter.com/7nbitHfX3D— NN (@NnPnemck) November 12, 2023 Ron Desantis’ strongest online supporter: pic.twitter.com/Md7cfmMsE4— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) November 12, 2023The envy and hate DeSimps have for Trump and his base is repulsive. Imagine being this triggered over Trump simply attending a UFC fight. Btw- this is an account managed & created by the DeSantis team to amplify his support with blacks Americans. Pathetic.

Feeling empowered after his boost from Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp, a man of notoriously intemperate disposition, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis begins the process to align himself with the neocon establishment and labeling Donald Trump supporters as “listless vessels” devoid of principle, who simply “follow whatever comes down the pike from Truth Social every morning.”Appearing with a young millennial wearing a beaver tail on his head, namely Will Witt from the Florida Standard, Ron DeSantis outlines his opinion that the MAGA movement is only driven by the support of President Donald Trump, a person who has exhausted his usefulness in...

Whistleblowers from the TSA and Border Patrol have raised the alarm to Infowars that the Biden administration is setting the stage for full Covid lockdowns that will begin with incremental restrictions like masking TSA employees in mid-September. The first source, a high-level TSA official confirmed and known to Infowars, reached out to Infowars and cited a Tuesday meeting in which TSA managers were told new memorandums & policies were being completed that would reimplement masking, starting with TSA & airport employees as early as mid-September. The TSA official also said next week they will receive new guidelines on how the...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was mocked online for his "awkward" entrance with his wife, Casey DeSantis at the wedding of Iowa Republican Taylor Collins in Des Moines on Saturday night, with social media users accusing him of stealing attention from the bride and groom. Videos of the event shared online show the Florida governor entering the wedding reception, held at the Beaux-Arts-style building, with his wife and walking straight into the room after the newlywed couple. Collins and his bride can be seen stepping to the side and clapping for the Republican governor as the audience in attendance cheers. DeSantis...

Ron DeSantis has broken with 70 percent of the Republican base, telling NBC News, “Of course [Trump] lost: Joe Biden’s the President.” The stunning remarks, though caveated with complaints about mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, are unlikely to endear DeSantis to his party’s voters, a majority of whom are already soured by the Florida Governor’s lackluster campaign and toxic online strategies.DeSantis, who has spent the last two weeks watching some of his chief donors abandon his beleaguered presidential campaign, told NBC News: “Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on Jan. 20 every four years is the winner,” before being...

Billionaire Robert Bigelow is telling Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his campaign that he’ll cut off funds unless there are further changes made to the beleaguered and amateurish campaign.Bigelow, a hotel tycoon and founder of Bigelow Aerospace is the largest single donor to The pro-DeSantis super PAC, ‘Never Back Down’, with over $20 million given. The billionaire UFO enthusiast had harsh words for the campaign when asked if he’d continue his financial support:“Not until I see that he’s able to generate more on his own. I’m already too big a percentage… A lot of his donors are still on the...

Maggie Haberman revealed that the much-derided anti-LGBTQ video attacking ex-President Donald Trump was produced by a Ron DeSantis staffer and “passed off” to a supporter for publication. The video appeared in the tweet to originate from another account, and merely retweeted and commented on by the official DeSantis campaign account: A DeSantis campaign aide had originally produced the video internally, passing it off to an outside supporter to post it first and making it appear as if it was generated independently, according to a person with knowledge of the incident. The DeSantis campaign declined to comment on specific questions about...

Generra Peck, DeSantis’ top aide, is “hanging by a thread,” said a DeSantis donor who is close to the campaign. “It is the chatter among donors, and it extends beyond the first rung of the bundler class. Money people are losing confidence quickly,” a DeSantis money-bundler said. “It’s time for that kind of change. It’s time for a shake-up at the top.” “Governor DeSantis and Casey very much support her. I wouldn’t say it’s never going to happen, but right now her job is safe,” the DeSantis ally said. Phil Cox, former exec director RGA returned to the inner circle...

Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,” the Florida governor noted.Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted and promised if he was...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he would not be former President Donald Trump’s running mate if given the opportunity to join him on the ticket. “I don’t think so. I’m not a No. 2 guy,” DeSantis said on the “Wisconsin Right Now” radio show, saying he would rather stay on as governor because the vice presidency “doesn’t really have any authority.” Asked about his own thoughts on a running mate, DeSantis said, "It’s a little bit presumptuous to be doing that at this stage." "I’m here to win the early primaries, and that’s what we’ve got to do first,"...

The new Florida Atlantic University Mainstreet PolCom Lab poll showed that Trump held a 20-point lead over DeSantis among registered GOP voters when asked whom they would support if the 2024 primary were held today.
