When Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced he was running for president, he told all who listened to "mark" his words. "I would do various things very quickly," Trump said. "I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare," he said. "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border," he said. "And I will have Mexico pay for that wall. "Mark my words," he said. Fifteen months later — after he won the Republican nomination and less than two months before his general election showdown — Trump released a letter to pro-life leaders. "As we head into the final stretch of ...

As President Trump closes in on 100 days in office, an overwhelming majority of Americans who voted for him say they don't regret doing so. In a new ABC News-Washington Post poll, 96 percent of Trump voters say supporting the former New York businessman was the right thing to do, while only 2 percent regret their vote. That poll contrasts with the president's current approval rating, which sits around 42 percent. On "Fox & Friends Weekend," Connell McShane said the wide difference shows voters are willing to give Trump more time to get his agenda through.
Americans’ Loss of Citizenship

Now that we see that Donald Trump is going to abandon the platform on which he won his election, and return the Republican Party to its establishmentarian—globalist, neo-conservative—ways, we are once again given proof of the fundamental loss of citizenship in this nation. The people, the supposed citizens—even those who vote—have no real influence over the candidates they put in office. It is for certain that they elected Trump with the idea that he would keep us out of foreign wars, maybe even out of NATO and Japan, that he would get rid of Obamacare (and no one said he had to fix it), that he would abolish the Ex-Im Bank, that he would in short undo the ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A federal judge on Tuesday blocked any attempt by the Trump administration to withhold funding from "sanctuary cities" that do not cooperate with U.S. immigration authorities, saying the president has no authority to attach new conditions to federal spending. U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the preliminary injunction in two lawsuits - one brought by the city of San Francisco, the other by Santa Clara County - against an executive order targeting communities that protect immigrants from deportation. The injunction will stay in place while the lawsuits work their way through court. The judge said that President Donald Trump cannot set new ...
Republican Candidate Opposed to Gun Registry Made Millions With Company Slated to Build Gun Registry

“Your name, your address, your guns — in a big government computer,” the narrator of Montana Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte’s TV ad says as a computer screen shows an imaginary “national gun registry.” Then Gianforte, declaring his support for the Second Amendment, raises a rifle and shoots the computer screen to bits. The ad is the latest in a long tradition of candidates shooting objects in campaign commercials. Gianforte, who will face Democrat Rob Quist in a May 25 special election for the Montana at-large congressional seat, claims Quist supports such a registry. Quist did ...

Nowhere has Donald Trump matched up with the original story of the Trojan horse more than in his overtures of peace, instead of military conflict. Nowhere has Trump changed more than in these same issues. Candidate Trump frequently persuaded his supporters to believe he would build more peaceful and cooperative relations with Russia and ridiculed the regime-change efforts of Hillary’s warmongering ways. After he was wheeled inside the Washington city gates, however, he opened up with overnight military attacks around the world and, in the same week, declared in the solitary point of harmony he could find with Putin that Russian relations had ...

The poll also indicates that Trump could win the popular vote if the 2016 electorate were to vote a second time. From Breitbart The poll comes as Trump looks to finish his first 100 days later this week on a high note, with new legislative initiatives on tax reform and health care. Unlike his predecessors, Trump had no “honeymoon,” with the media and the Demcoratic opposition — a.k.a. “Resistance” — determined to maintain a bitter antagonism from the very first day. But the “resistance” has its own major problems. Two-thirds (67%) of Americans say that Democrats are out of touch with their concerns, while 62% say the same about Republicans and ...

Let’s put on a show. For a good cause, of course. Call it the Andy Hardy Strategy. All singing. All dancing. Fundamentally, all fluff; that is, all surface. And the central key to success? A deceptive, shameless appeal to emotion. Oscar Levant once said, “Beneath all the tinsel and glitter of Hollywood—is more tinsel and glitter.” How aptly this characterizes the unfolding essence of Donald Trump. The old MGM Andy Hardy films most famously showcased the teenaged Mickey Rooney (all energy, and without an ounce of self-reflection) and the talented Judy Garland. Propelled by some trivial goal which necessitated raising money, the pair would embark on a whirlwind effort to ...

If you read closely between the warped headlines of the establishment media, you will eventually find the truth about Trump’s decision to strike the Syrian government: it was illegal. Yet most mainstream media outlets clearly supported the strike. Many U.S. allies also supported the strike, including so-called peaceful countries such as New Zealand, which stated the strikes were a “proportional response to a specific incident – the chemical weapons atrocity.” New Zealand also said they would consider sending troops to Syria if the American government requested them. Why isn’t the legality of Trump’s reckless move even on the table for discussion? Is it ...

Time to play another round of Washington’s most popular pastime, “Who leaked?” Any theories on which Kushner frenemy, perhaps recently criticized himself for his outsized role in crafting national security policy, might want it known that Jared has a bit too much influence in a critical area of policy in which he has no experience? I think it was cute of Team Bannon to feed this to the Free Beacon instead of to Breitbart, just to raise the barest trace of doubt about whether they’re really responsible. Gotta keep the former(?) boss’s fingerprints off the Kushner attacks now that they’ve supposedly healed the rift, after all. Kushner has taken aggressive action ...

Blink, and you missed Trump's blistering, seamless transformation into a mainstream politician. In the span of just a few hours, President Trump flipped to new positions on several core policy issues, backing off on no less than five repeated campaign promises.

Ah the words of Candidate Trump versus those of President Trump. We aren’t even 100 days into his presidency and it’s like listening to two completely different guys speak. President Trump just wrapped up a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg where he completely flipped 180 degrees from his stance on NATO during the 2016 election cycle. Just the complete opposite of everything Trump ever said just happened. First, a refresher. Here’s just one example (of many many available) of candidate Trump on NATO, regarding how the US should withdraw from NATO and that it’s “obsolete”: That is just a total contrast to what he said today.

Kansas special election results (Pompeo seat, NYT calls it for GOP)

The special election for Mike Pompeo’s seat in Kansas will be decided tonight. Pompeo was selected by President Trump to run the CIA so now we have a contest between Republican Ron Estes and Democrat James Thompson. As Andrew Malcolm wrote earlier today, this is a district that leans decidedly red. Pompeo was re-elected by a 31-points margin last year (Trump won by 27). However, the declining popularity of President Trump has some Democrats hopeful ‘The Resistance’ can score a surprise victory. Republicans have responded by money into the district. With polls closed, results are starting to trickle in. Scroll down for the latest. 9:15 pm eastern: Thompson is off to an early ...

Donald J. Swamp: How the Man Who Promised to Drain the Swamp Got Drained by the Swamp

Trump is now under neocon control and is the prisoner of whatever they want him to do There were only three reasons that a rational person might have considered going out to vote for Donald J Swamp. The first was that he wasn’t the psychopath, Hillary Clinton. The second was that he looked to be the least likely of all the candidates to start a war with Russia and therefore WWIII. And the third was that he said he was going to “drain the swamp”. They were always very thin reasons. As I wrote back here and here: “People have elected a loose cannon, and although I will hold my breath and give him a chance, nothing about his character, his temperament, not ...

First Daughter Ivanka Trump’s intervention may have tipped the balance in her father’s decision to order Friday’s strike on a Syrian air base. A memo from Britain’s ambassador to Washington, Sir Kim Darroch, to Prime Minister Theresa May made the point that Ivanka’s concern was a “significant influence in the Oval Office,” according to The Sunday Times of London. Darroch noted that President Trump was “genuinely shaken” by televised pictures of the 87 civilians killed in a chemical attack. The ambassador also pointed to a tweet by Ivanka, who said that she was “heartbroken and outraged by the images coming out of Syria following the ...

Conservative talk show powerhouse Mark Levin praised President Trump’s airstrikes against a Syria airbase, saying, “that’s a real leader.” After eight years of feckless, dithering foreign policy from Obama and his administration, it’s refreshing to see STRENGTH and confidence back in the White House. On Thursday President Trump launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airbase believed to be housing chemical weapons. The U.S. attack was retaliation for a Syrian chemical attack on Tuesday that killed innocent women and children.

Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) shot back at his fellow Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for demanding that President Trump ask for Congressional approval for the airstrikes he ordered on a Syrian airfield Thursday. He made the comments on CNN Friday to Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer read Paul’s statement about the airstrike to McCain and asked for his reaction: “While we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked. The President needs congressional authorization for military action as required by the Constitution, and I call on him to come to Congress for a proper debate. Our prior interventions in this region have done nothing to make us safer, and Syria will be no ...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) asserted Thursday night that President Trump needs congressional authorization for military action in Syria after Trump ordered an airstrike in the country following a deadly chemical attack earlier this week. "While we all condemn the atrocities in Syria, the United States was not attacked," Paul said in a statement shortly after reports that the U.S. had launched more than 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles against an airfield in Syria.

Shortly after the news broke Wednesday that top Trump advisor Steve Bannon had been removed from the National Security Council's principals committee, Bannon attended an NSC meeting in the White House situation room, according to a source familiar with the events. On Wednesday morning, the White House confirmed that Bannon had been removed from the NSC's top committee, saying that the political advisor had been placed there in order to serve as a check on then National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who was himself removed from the job after less than 30 days in office. Flynn was replaced by H.R. McMaster as National Security Advisor, and the former Lt. General has been given broad ...

On Thursday, Devin Nunes stepped aside on the Russia probe. His decision came in light of desperate liberals filing false “ethics” allegations against him.

Actor-director Clint Eastwood believes that Donald Trump is benefitting from a trend in American culture by saying what he believes, despite criticism from all sides. “He’s onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” Clint Eastwood said in an interview with Esquire. “That’s the kiss-ass generation we’re in right now.

Rand Paul once called Donald Trump a "delusional narcissist" and an "orange-faced windbag." Which makes the fact that the Kentucky senator has emerged as the chief defender of the President's unproven claims of being wire-tapped by the Obama Administration all the more amazing. "This was a witch hunt that began with the Obama administration, sour grapes on the way out the door," Paul said Tuesday of the reported requested unmasking of Trump campaign officials by former national security adviser Susan Rice. "They were going to use the intelligence apparatus to attack Trump, and I think they did." (Paul took it even further, arguing that Rice ...
