President Donald Trump suggested on Friday his administration will pursue federal charges against billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, part of a long history of threatening his political opponents with criminal proceedings. “We’re going to look into Soros,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends,” “because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people.” “Because this is more than like protests,” Trump added. “This is real agitation. This is riots on the street. And we’re going to look into it.” Trump previously floated charging Soros and his son under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in August on...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela the right to live and work in the United States. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco for the plaintiffs means 600,000 Venezuelans whose temporary protections expired in April or whose protections were about to expire Sept. 10 have status to stay and work in the United States. It also keeps protections for about 500,000 Haitians. Chen scolded Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for revoking protections...

NBC News reported shocking interviews with a dozen federal court judges who hid behind anonymity to attack the Supreme Court for overturning their anti-Trump decisions, accusing the conservative dominated Supreme Court of undermining the judiciary. This is the latest in an ongoing battle this year between anti-Trump Resistance judges on the federal bench using their rulings to enact their preferred policies and the Supreme Court trying to rein them in under constitutional order. With Republicans holding the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrat activists are using their allies on the federal bench to obstruct and delay actions by...

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has once again raised eyebrows by publicly questioning President Trump’s latest show of military force, this time over a Venezuelan drug vessel blown to pieces in the Caribbean. The Gateway Pundit reported in August that Trump ‘secretly’ signed a directive ordering the Pentagon to start using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels. The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. This means that US troops could find themselves in countries like Mexico battling the Sinaloa Cartel, for example. As TGP readers...

For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel. Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates. However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection. According to new findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week, all it may have taken to block infections was a $10 bottle...

Trump’s Global Tariffs Found Illegal by US Appeals Court

Full statement from Pam Bondi: President Trump found there was a national emergency and took action under the law by imposing tariffs. The judges of the Federal Circuit are interfering with the President’s vital and constitutionally central role in foreign policy. This decision is wrong and undermines the United States on the world stage. The Justice Department will appeal this decision and continue to fight to restore the president’s lawful authority.

While researching Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump, I uncovered a list of billionaire “philanthropists” who were using their immense wealth to fund the lawfare superstructure. Some are familiar to this audience, like George Soros and Reid Hoffman, but others are likely unknown to you. I summarize some key findings here. One name that was new to me prior to beginning work on Breaking the Law was Herb Sandler. (Sandler and Soros collaborate, as I explain below.) I did a long interview with Dr. Michael Savage for his podcast, which just appeared on...

President Trump on Wednesday called for far-left billionaire George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, to be charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for funding and supporting violent far-left rioters. Soros and his Open Society Foundations have funneled money to and bankrolled many dark money projects and radical left movements to destabilize conservative governments and place radical left globalists in power. He is also the puppet master behind the lawfare against Trump, election interference, and chaos across the country. Notably, the Jewish billionaire has funded countless instances of violent riots, including anti-Israel movements, Black Lives Matter,...
