The worst part about the porous Biden/Harris southern border is that we don’t know who we’ve let in and how dangerous some of those people might be. However, we now know of at least one allegedly very nasty character who’s been hanging out in our country, Peruvian gang member Gianfranco Torres-Navarro, who’s suspected of almost two dozen murders back in his homeland. He was arrested Wednesday in New York State by immigration authorities. Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported on the story: BREAKING: ICE Buffalo arrested a Peruvian gang leader yesterday who is wanted for 23 murders in Peru & was...

To help Democrats, Biden’s Department of Justice brought the hammer down on Peter Navarro for engaging in conduct that was not even remotely criminal. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands. Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. “My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote....

They needed to get the president alone. On April 9, financial markets were going haywire. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wanted President Trump to put a pause on his aggressive global tariff plan. But there was a big obstacle: Peter Navarro, Trump’s tariff-loving trade adviser, who was constantly hovering around the Oval Office. Navarro isn’t one to back down during policy debates and had stridently urged Trump to keep tariffs in place, even as corporate chieftains and other advisers urged him to relent. And Navarro had been regularly around the Oval Office since Trump’s “Liberation Day”...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump “should be in a padded room.” Navarro said, “Look, you know, if they’re saying that this was all strategic, then he is a sadist because what kind of government leader puts his people through this kind of distress and sadness and anxiety for a week just for giggles? His supporters always say that he plays fourth-dimensional chess. I think he should be in a padded room playing with his own drool.” She continued, “The things he does are just simply lunacy, and we’re not out of...

Billionaire Elon Musk escalated his attacks against White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Tuesday, calling him a “moron” who’s “dumber than a sack of bricks.” Musk, 53, responded Tuesday to the trade adviser’s suggestion on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Monday that the Tesla boss was “not a car manufacturer” but “a car assembler,” pointing to the electric vehicle company’s importing of batteries and other key components to manufacture its cars. “Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false,” Musk wrote on X, adding in a subsequent post in which he tagged the “Re—d Finder”: “Tesla has...

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” White House Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro said that the market is “finding a bottom” at the moment, predicted that the Dow Jones will surge in the future and argued that the gains in the S&P 500 over the past couple years “have been basically seven stocks, the magnificent seven, the AIs. Most of the stocks in the S&P 500 have gone nowhere. Now, they’re going to go crazy” due to increased investment in the United States. Navarro said, “[W]hat I see is 50,000 on the Dow....

During an appearance on FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” White House senior economic counselor Peter Navarro explained the long-term implications for the Trump administration’s tariffs and how they will function to ensure fair trade for the United States. “Let’s not forget, every economic report that’s been coming out in the last month has been pushing us towards expansion and strength,” Navarro said. “And we just had a blowout jobs number on Friday, 228,000 jobs. That was 50 percent higher than was predicted. So, again, there’s cognitive dissonance between what the media is saying, wanted to push us into recession, and what’s...

Elon Musk took multiple shots at Peter Navarro in reaction to a clip of the trade advisor defending President Donald Trump’s tariffs amid steep declines in the stock market. Musk has remained fairly silent on Trump’s tariff announcement as stocks, including Musk’s, have taken major hits. Tesla stock fell 10% by Friday, erasing billions in Musk’s wealth. Markets closed on Friday with the week marking the worst trading week in five years. Navarro, a senior counselor to the president, has been among the White House officials passionately defending the tariff strategy, insisting a manufacturing boom in the United States is...

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro estimated the U.S. would raise about $600 billion to $700 billion a year from tariffs...Economists say the true number will probably be less than half of that sum.

Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser to President Trump, said the president’s tariff plan will raise more than $6 trillion in federal revenue over the next decade. Navarro joined “Fox News Sunday,” where host Shannon Bream noted that Americans are concerned that Trump’s tariffs are going to raise the price of everyday goods. “First of all, we’re going to raise about $100 billion with the auto tariffs alone. What we’re going to do is, in the new tax bill that has to pass, it absolutely has to pass, we’re going to provide tax benefits, tax credits, to the people who...

Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Monday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s administration welcomed “racists.” Navarro said, “The way JD Vance, you know, talked about it, ‘I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life.’ Okay. This wasn’t years and years ago. These tweets, they were months ago. So, if he’s such a kid, what the hell is he doing having access to sensitive information at practically every department in the federal government? She continued, “But, you know racism like this could ruin being subjected to racism, being the victim of racism, of discrimination, of...

Ana Navarro of The View is very upset at Snoop Dogg and other black entertainers for not snubbing Trump and participating in his inauguration festivities. Today on the show, Navarro went so far as to compare Snoop Dogg to a trained seal. Isn’t that kind of… racist? This is just the latest example of the left proving that they have learned absolutely nothing since the election. They just keep doubling down on stupid.

Peter Navarro, the America First economist who went to prison rather than testify against President-elect Donald Trump about the January 6th, 2021 riots, is coming back for round two. CBNC reported that Trump has tapped Navarro to serve as Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing in his second administration. The nod is a striking turnaround for a loyal ally who served four months in prison for defying a congressional subpoena to testify about the January 6th, 2021 riots at the Capitol. The president-elect alluded to his conviction in a statement. “I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man...

*** A handful of GOP speakers spoke Tuesday night at the convention, including former Trump voters, Republican political operatives and a former Trump White House aid, Stephanie Grisham. Other anti-Trump Republican voices are scheduled to speak later this week in former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who served on the House Jan. 6 panel, and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who has already endorsed Harris. *** Grisham lambasted Trump’s character and said he mocks his supporters in private. Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers,” she said. “He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity...

The Ohio Republican and running mate to Donald Trump attempted to downplay the comment again on Sunday. But The View co-host Ana Navarro wasn’t buying it. “They’ve given him, J.D. Vance, all these opportunities to clean up his childless cat lady comment, and he hasn’t been able to,” Navarro said. “Like, he ended up apologizing to the cats instead of to the ladies!”

Washington — Peter Navarro, who served as a top trade adviser to former President Donald Trump, was released from federal prison on Wednesday after serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Navarro, 75, reported in March to serve his sentence at the federal correctional institute in Miami and was assigned to an 80-person dormitory for older inmates. He is listed among the speakers at this week's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, though it's unclear whether he will address attendees Wednesday or Thursday, the final day of the event. Navarro's staff posted...

When it comes to defying Congressional subpoenas, the concept of equal justice is looking rather lopsided depending upon where one stands politically. For instance, last week, the House voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for withholding audio from president Biden’s classified documents case. Just two days later, the Dept. of Justice declined to prosecute Garland. Meanwhile, two former close aides of president Trump, Steven Bannon and Peter Navarro were aggressively prosecuted for defying subpoenas from the January 6 Committee. Now Bannon has been ordered to report to prison to serve a 4 month sentence stemming...

~As I first wrote over two decades ago, Islamic supremacism attaches great importance to the annexation of the public space. To mark the Canadian centennial of 1967, half of Dominion Square in Montreal was renamed Place du Canada. Half-a-century later, during a Defund-the-Police protest, the magnificent statue of Sir John A Macdonald was toppled and decapitated, and the craven city council decided he would not be returned to his pride of place. But these are mere poseur flourishes. (Pierre) Trudeaupian nationalism is dead, and the "anti-colonialist" nihilism that supplanted it is a mere death-spasm of demographically irrelevant western youth. Like...

House Freedom Caucus Republicans are introducing a resolution to immediately rescind the subpoenas issued from the January 6th committee to Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro. Next week, members of Congress will introduce a resolution to rescind the subpoenas issued from the fraudulent January 6th committee to Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro. This will invalidate the Contempt of Congress charges Freedom Caucus members will be co-sponsoring the resolution including Bob Good, Dan Bishop, Anna Paulina Luna, etc

@RepThomasMassie The Republican House should, by an official vote of the House, declare the subpoenas on Bannon and Navarro to have been illegitimately issued, and vote to repeal them. @RandPaul When the GOP took the House in 2020, I advocated keeping Jan 6committee with new members long enough to repeal subpoenas on Bannon and Navarro. No one listened then. Will they listen now?
