He held firm when the “Access Hollywood” tape nearly ended President Trump’s 2016 campaign. He did not waver through even the most trying moments of the special counsel’s Russia investigation. And once again, Vice President Mike Pence has risen to Mr. Trump’s defense at a moment of crisis that some Republicans fear could inflict lasting damage on them both. Amid questions about Mr. Pence’s role in the campaign of political pressure directed at Ukraine’s government that has become the subject of a House Democratic impeachment action against Mr. Trump, the vice president appeared before reporters in Arizona on Thursday and...

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” network anchor Chris Wallace said the “spin” by President Donald Trump’s defenders was “deeply misleading.” Wallace said, “The spinning that has been done by the president’s defenders over the last 24 hours since this very damaging whistleblower complaint came out, the spinning is is not surprising but it is astonishing, and I think deeply misleading.” He continued, “Let’s look at what the whistleblower says. The whistleblower says it was a troubling call in which the president asked the Ukrainian president to investigate and to look at the allegation of this wrongdoing by Vice...

Establishment media outlets like The Washington Post hyped a now-disputed study that linked President Donald Trump’s campaign rallies to a spike in hate crimes, but they’ve yet to cover a second study that debunked the first one. The first study, which three Texas university professors conducted, said counties that hosted Trump rallies in 2016 saw a 226% spike in hate crimes compared to places that didn’t host Trump rallies. Harvard University researchers found the political scientists had gotten it wrong when they tried to replicate the study. “The study is wrong, and yet journalists ran with it anyway,” Harvard researchers Matthew Lilley...

How far has our country fallen? Figliuzzi is a former FBI ASSISTANT DIRECTOR for counterintelligence under Barack Obama!! Wait until you hear him!! ................. Move over, Russiagate! The Left has concocted an even wackier anti-Trump conspiracy theory for the ages. MSNBC contributor Frank Figliuzzi claims that President Trump’s decision to fly American flags at half-staff until August 8 — to honor the victims of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings — is a white-supremacist dog whistle secretly invoking Adolf Hitler. Unbelievable Video at link above:

Well, that was something. Over the course of about 28 minutes of airtime (including commercials) following the President’s Fourth of July event A Salute to America, CNN’s The Situation Room put on one of the most disgraceful displays of liberal media bias, Trump hatred, and slights at America you’ll ever see. Attacking the President like bitter preschoolers, a cast of CNN personalities bashed the Trump speech as a “rudimentary” “eighth grade history” report ripping off of Schoolhouse Rock and Wikipedia to create a work of “jingoism and militaristic virtue.”Here’s the Worst Moments from CNN’s Deranged Assault on Trump’s Fourth of...

President Donald Trump implored Americans to come together Thursday in a show of national pride -- a rare unifying message from a deeply divisive President that came after days of controversy and criticism over his precedent-shattering military spectacle on the National Mall. "We must go forward as a nation with that same unity of purpose," Trump said, filmed through rain-streaked bulletproof glass as showers beat steadily on his audience. "As long as we stay true to our course, as long as we remember our great history, as long as we never, ever stop fighting for a better future, then there...

The US carried out a cyber attack on Thursday night, just after Iran downed an American surveillance drone, The Washington Post reported. According to the Post, the targets were computers and systems responsible for missile attacks. The attacks were planned for weeks, if not months, but proposed only after the attack on two oil tankers earlier this month. The White House and US Cyber Command refused the Post's request for comment, but Pentagon spokeswoman Elissa Smith said, "As a matter of policy and for operational security, we do not discuss cyberspace operations, intelligence or planning." .....

Video and tweets at link. WATCH: Acosta Talks About His New Book And Proves, Once Again, He Doesn't Understand Why He's The 'Enemy Of The People' CNN's Jim Acosta has made a household name for himself – and not in a good way. He has become the face of "fake news" and shoddy reporting. He's really great at breaking rules and pretending he's somehow the victim. Does his press pass being revoked for pushing an intern ring a bell? He's now using his experiences to write a "tell-all" type of book about what it's like reporting on the Trump administration....

The journalists at CBS This Morning on Tuesday laughed at a new trend by militant leftists: Dumping milkshakes on politicians they don’t like. Co-host Tony Dokoupil began with a whimsical recounting: “In the latest of a series of attacks on right-wing politicians, Brexit Party Leader Nigel Farage was doused with a milkshake yesterday. That was actually salted caramel if anyone is wondering.” This prompted laughter from Dokoupil’s co-hosts. Continuing the jovial discussion of political intimidation, he added, “I’m sure it feels great. I’m sure people love the feeling. Pictures fly around the world.” On Monday’s Late Show, host Seth Meyers...

As Iran girds for possible war with the United States, President Trump may turn out to be the best friend it has. Despite the saber-rattling of senior aides and Trump’s own tweets, when push has come to shove over the past two years, the president has repeatedly backed away from the threatened use of military force. Whether the target has been North Korea, with which warnings of “fire and fury” have become little more than an exchange of “beautiful” letters between Trump and Kim Jong Un, or Venezuela, where the threat of “all options” has failed to upset the status...

Don Lemon Cuts off Guest for Telling the Truth About Donald Trump Former White House aide Cliff Sims appeared on CNN Pre White House Correspondent Dinner Coverage with Alisyn Camerota and Don Lemon. Lemon tried to push his usual Liberal narrative but Sims was not having it and corrected Lemon. So in the usual Lemon fashion, he cut him off, as a strong opposing opinion is not allowed. Camerota started them off claiming that Trump says a lot of nice things but because he talks about how the Mueller Report was a witch hunt, it diminishes what he says in...

CNN will host a town hall with former FBI Director James Comey on the two-year anniversary of his firing by President Trump, the network announced Wednesday. The event will be hosted by Anderson Cooper and will air May 9 at 8 p.m., according to CNN. Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, citing the former FBI director's management of the investigation into former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. Comey's firing ultimately led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. The firing was one "episode" probed by Mueller in his investigation into whether Trump...

MSNBC wasn’t the only network to interrupt the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General William Barr. ABC News decided to cut in to offer close to a half hour of Barr bashing because…they wanted to get in the allegation that he lied. This is the latest Democratic attack line, which was also manufactured without evidence. Barr being viewed, as a Trump agent was an inevitable consequence of his confirmation to the top DOJ post, despite being supremely qualified for the job. And it was on full display today. The Democrat-media complex is hard at work trying to destroy Barr,...

Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, has called The New York Times “a cesspool of hostility towards Israel.” In remarks posted to his official Facebook page and prepared for delivery at a Holocaust memorial event at the US Capitol, Dermer spoke of what he called “the Jew-hatred of growing parts of the intellectual class.”“The same New York Times that a century ago mostly hid from their readers the Holocaust of the Jewish people has today made its pages a safe-space for those who hate the Jewish state,” Dermer said. “Through biased coverage, slanderous columns and antisemitic cartoons, its editors...

A Jeff Bezos-owned conspiracy theory blog published an opinion piece Monday which bashed World War II allied forces – the ones who defeated Nazi Germany – as racists. The piece was called “Allied leaders were anti-Nazi, but not anti-racist. We’re now paying the price for their failure,” and suggested that historical figures like Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt are partially to blame for “white supremacy” in 2019.

C-SPAN LEAVES THE WHITE HOUSE Correspondents Dinner To Carry TRUMP RALLY in Wisconsin Instead...(Developing)...

President Trump's recent stonewalling tactics, aimed at blocking Congress' ability to follow up on the allegations detailed in the Mueller report, are rooted in the belief that he can run out the clock on the Democrats in the House through the 2020 election. Nonetheless, it's a strategy fraught with peril, and if the President begins to see a significant erosion in his approval numbers from Americans tired of the endless standoff, he might need to reach deep into his bag of tricks to reset the national narrative. There is one move that could prove to be a complete game changer:...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States did not pay any money to North Korea as it sought the release of Otto Warmbier, a day after a report said Trump had approved a $2 million bill from Pyongyang for the American student's care. "No money was paid to North Korea for Otto Warmbier, not two Million Dollars, not anything else," Trump wrote in a tweet. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1121733749757087750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1121733749757087750&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftaskandpurpose.com%2Fres%2Fcommunity%2Ftwitter_embed%2F%3Fiframe_id%3Dtwitter-embed-1121733749757087750%26created_ts%3D1556277141.0%26screen_name%3DrealDonaldTrump%26text%3DNo%2Bmoney%2Bwas%2Bpaid%2Bto%2BNorth%2BKorea%2Bfor%2BOtto%2BWarmbier%252C%2Bnot%2Btwo%2BMillion%2BDollars%252C%2Bnot%2Banything%2Belse.%2BThis%2Bis%2Bnot%2Bthe%2BOba%25E2%2580%25A6%2Bhttps%253A%252F%252Ft.co%252FkJK9TTdoly%26id%3D1121733749757087750%26name%3DDonald%2BJ.%2BTrump The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Trump had approved payment of a $2 million bill from Pyongyang to cover its care of the comatose college student, who was held in...

Reporters have long approached White House press secretary Sarah Sanders with a trust-but-verify attitude, knowing full well that Sanders is tasked with spinning some of the more unspinnable statements made by her boss, President Donald Trump.

FULL TITLE: BuzzFeed News editor takes heat for suggesting Trump would be more outraged if Sri Lanka victims were white A BuzzFeed News world editor faced backlash Sunday for taking a swipe at President Trump while tweeting an article about the attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter. "Suspect we’d be hearing a lot more outrage from Trump and co. if the Christians killed in Sri Lanka were white," Miriam Elder tweeted with a link to BuzzFeed News. Elder’s tweet, as The Washington Examiner reported, received many more comments than likes or retweets. It had received nearly 3,000 replies, 70 retweets...
