🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: President Trump has named Sen. Markwayne Mullin as the next U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is out.https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2029629285720314087

Failed Prosecutor John Durham’s report on the Hillary Clinton campaign plot to convince the American electorate and U.S. allies that Donald Trump was a stooge of Russia totally ignores the role that intelligence operatives from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Israel played in helping set the stage to provide the FBI with the pretext of predication for launching its now discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation of the Trump Campaign. Let me take you back to an article I wrote in May 2019. John Durham and his team failed to address any of the issues and leads I raised:...

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski are cozier than ever, despite White House concerns about their relationship. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that Lewandowski is now working as a 'special government employee' under Noem at the Department of Homeland Security. Lewandowski had initially wanted to serve as Noem's chief of staff, but President Donald Trump and his top advisers reportedly felt 'uncomfortable' with the optics of such a placement. The president and Lewandowski settled on him becoming a special government employee to DHS so the pair would be more removed...

Donald Trump’s campaign is expanding its ranks as he seeks to regain his footing in the presidential campaign, bringing on a handful of top allies — including former Trump 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Lewandowski, who has remained an informal Trump adviser since his first campaign, is being brought on to advise the campaign’s senior leadership team, according to a person familiar with the move and granted anonymity to speak freely. He joins several other former Trump aides who will play similar roles. Tim Murtaugh, who was the communications director on Trump’s 2020 campaign, will also be joining. So, too,...

DailyMail.com uncovered evidence of Lewandowski and Noem's fling: Dozens of trips that mixed business with pleasure, private flights and luxury resort stays The pair met up Friday for a Trump campaign rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, but were careful to have no public interaction – despite being close for years The two were first suspected of being romantically involved in 2021, but Noem scornfully dismissed the story as 'total garbage and a disgusting lie' at the time A rising Republican star tipped by many to be Donald Trump's running mate should he win the presidential nomination has been involved...

… Lewandowski has talked with American Exceptionalism PAC, an outside group that has been set up to bolster the candidacy of Ramaswamy, according to three people familiar with the discussions. The longtime GOP operative, who for a time led Trump’s 2016 campaign and has remained an ally of the ex-president, approached Trump within the last several weeks to tell him about the prospect of him joining the organization. Trump did not raise any objections, according to those people familiar with the talks. Lewandowski was previously at the head of a pro-Trump Super PAC until allegations of sexual misconduct toward a...

Corey Lewandowski, a relic of the Trump administration, said that he’s on a mission from the former President to field quality candidates against New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) and Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH). Trump had given him two jobs in his home state, Lewandowski said Wednesday on the Howie Carr radio show. “One is making sure we’ve got a great candidate in the U.S. Senate race up here in New Hampshire who can beat Maggie Hassan, another failed, hack, Washington, DC politician who’s never delivered,” he said. “And the second is potentially finding someone to run against Chris Sununu,...

A “deradicalisation” programme like those given to former terrorists or cult members might be the only way to dissuade some hardcore antivaxxers from their beliefs, according to one psychology expert. Around six million eligible people in the UK have not received a single jab a year on from the first Covid vaccination being given in the UK. **** “They’ll refuse anything – ‘I’m not going to wear a mask’, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated’, ‘I don’t think climate change is happening’, ‘Covid is a hoax’, and, you know, ‘Hillary Clinton is actually a reptilian shapeshifter’. “You’re getting to people...

"Corey Lewandowski will be...

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski sent mixed messages Tuesday about whether he's likely to run for Senate in New Hampshire next year. Lewandowski seemed to express second thoughts during a local radio interview before telling the Washington Examiner he's still waiting to see third-quarter fundraising reports from declared GOP candidates. Those reports are expected to be published within two weeks. "Look, I'm going to wait and see. Yesterday was the FEC deadline for the announced candidates to raise money [in the third quarter]. I will be interested to see how much money they have in the bank. That will...

Donald Trump is considering bringing his tenacious former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski back into the fold to lead the fight in his impeachment battle. 'I have [had] no discussion with anyone in the White House about a job,' Lewandowski told DailyMail.com on Thursday. He did not clarify whether he spoke to anyone about leading such an effort from outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He also took to Twitter to weigh in and called the report '#fakenews.' 'As I have done for the last five years, I will continue to serve the President in any capacity he thinks I can be...

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said in an interview broadcast Sunday that a combative House hearing illustrated qualities that would make him a good Senate candidate while remaining noncommittal on whether he would mount a bid in New Hampshire. “I’m very, very seriously thinking about running for the United States Senate. After this week… no American citizen should have to go through what I had to go through … should never have to be disparaged or attacked the way that I was by these committee members because they didn’t like my politics,” Lewandowski told radio host John Catsimatidis on...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) weighed in Thursday on the Republican Senate primary in New Hampshire, endorsing a candidate other than President Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who Trump has said would make “a great senator.” Cruz threw his support behind former New Hampshire House speaker Bill O’Brien on a call into a Boston-based radio show, saying he is “a principled conservative” who “knows how to produce results.” “Bill O’Brien has backbone. He is willing to stand up and do the right thing,” Cruz told conservative host Jeff Kuhner on WRKO AM 680. “I think he would make a phenomenal...

Democrats are pressuring House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to hold Corey Lewandowski in contempt of Congress after the former Trump campaign chairman stonewalled lawmakers during his testimony earlier in the week. “He operated in contempt of Congress, and yes, I believe he should be” held in contempt. “And I’ve expressed that to the chair,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.), a member of the Judiciary panel, told The Hill on Thursday. “The only purpose to do it is to have teeth in it and to send a message to both Mr. Lewandowski that he has to come forth, tell the...

The mainstream media chorus turned on their Democrat allies over the questioning of Corey Lewandowski by Chairman Nadler’s House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. The breadth and depth of the rare media attack on Democrats needs explanation.

On Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski single-handedly embarrassed the Democratic House Judiciary Committee. Even CNN said he "owned" Rep. Nadler, Rep Swalwell, and the rest of the kooky cabal. It was a giant waste of taxpayer money. However, Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan brought up perhaps the most important fact of Lewandowski's testimony. He, former FBI Director James Comey, and special counsel investigator Robert Mueller all gave the same answer -- the Trump campaign never colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. "@CLewandowski_ worked with the Trump campaign for nearly 2 years. He testified they...

[snip] When Camerota tried to pin Lewandowski down on his truth-telling standard, asking if he only feels the obligation to tell the truth when under oath, he retorted: "Which is clearly more than some of your contributors. As you know, Andy McCabe, who has a criminal referral, who's a CNN contributor, was not accurate under oath. He has a criminal referral for lying to the FBI, for lying to the Inspector General on three separate occasions. But Alisyn, you and your network continue to use him as a contributor, who has been lying under oath! And so, if you're going...

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski frustrated House Judiciary Committee Democrats during a contentious hearing on Tuesday they had hoped would fuel support for President Trump’s impeachment but instead devolved into chaos. Democrats repeatedly tried and failed to get Lewandowski, a close ally of the president, to talk about his conversations with the president. The White House has asserted those conversations should remain private due to executive privilege, and Lewandowski stayed within those limits.

Former Trump 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee for an impeachment inquiry on Tuesday and got into a heated exchange with Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.
