Alert: Trump says he'll pardon Susan B. Anthony, arrested for voting in 1872 in violation of laws permitting only men to voteWASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he'll pardon Susan B. Anthony, arrested for voting in 1872 in violation of laws permitting only men to vote.

President Donald Trump issued a blistering signing statement over the weekend making it clear that he is calling the shots, not House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Congress passed a massive $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus compromise package last week and the president signed the measure into law, which will bring relief to individuals, small businesses, and larger corporations. Soon after that, Pelosi and Schumer ran to the media and began publicly bragging about how they were able to put strict oversight provisions into the stimulus bill. Turns out, the two top Democrats spoke too soon as...

A lot of foreign-policy wonks and elected officials responded to last night’s strike that killed Qasem Soleimani with an “on the one hand, on the other hand,” tone — expressing satisfaction that a man with blood of so many innocent people and U.S. soldiers on his hands had been killed, but concern for the ramifications of the act. But not everyone. Here is the statement from House speaker Nancy Pelosi: “American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests. But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative...

President Trump’s race to rack up accomplishments heading into an election year is giving conservatives heartburn, with some worried he is striking deals that include giveaways to Democrats. Several Senate Republicans this week vented their frustration with Trump’s trade deal with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during meetings with the administration’s top trade official, Robert Lighthizer. There’s also grumbling among conservative lawmakers over an agreement to expand benefits for federal workers in exchange for a costly Space Force military branch and a spending deal that is projected to add nearly $2 trillion to the deficit. The year-end deal-making isn’t necessarily over....

Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager, tweeted these amazing stats gleaned from Trump's Dallas rally last Thursday. 53,985 voters identified 12% have not voted in the last 4 elections 21.4% Democrat 11% Latino These are winning numbers that will help win #FourMoreYears for @realDonaldTrump! We continue to outperform 2016, Parscale tweeted. NOTE: Trump is raising huge amts of campaign cash online with one simple sentence: "Help us fight Democrat impeachment."

DONALD Trump's rally in Minneapolis has turned heads after people pointed out that it looked more like a Justin Bieber concert rather than a political meeting. Teenage girls and boys were seen crying tears of joy as the US president talked about his win in the 2016 election to a 20,000-strong crowd in Minnesota.

President Trump ripped into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, blasting them both as failures during a Thursday rally in Minneapolis. "Hunter, you know nothing about energy, you know nothing about China, you know nothing about anything, frankly. Hunter, you're a loser," Trump said. Trump also proposed a new T-shirt to be sold by his campaign that would read, "Where's Hunter?" That was an apparent reference to Hunter Biden's lack of public appearances as his business dealings come under greater scrutiny. "Let's do another t-shirt: Where's Hunter?" Trump said, prompting applause from the crowd.

"So feel what you need to feel" about impeachment, AOC told the gathering. "I'm going to move on, because frankly I think the whole thing's boring. He should have been impeached a long time ago. I'm over it. So that's how I feel about it, because we've got work to do.

“His Son Knows Nothing, He’s a Stiff” – President Trump Doubles Down – Blasts Joe Biden on Son’s Billion Dollar Pay-for-Play with China (VIDEO) Jim Hoft by Jim Hoft September 22, 2019 ShareTweetEmail In his 2018 book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends Peter Schweizer revealed how the Biden family secured a billion-dollar China deal just days after former Vice President Joe Biden visited China in 2013.

Work crews in Arizona and New Mexico forged ahead Friday with construction of taller border fencing funded through a national emergency declaration by President Trump. The work on his hallmark campaign promise involves mostly replacement fencing along a 46-mile stretch of desert west of Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and on 2 miles of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona (the first of the 63 miles contracted there with DoD money)... Workers broke ground between Columbus and Santa Teresa — small towns near ports of entry along the border between New Mexico and the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. In Arizona,...

President Trump yesterday announced that the US will increase tariffs on China and then ordered all US firms to begin seeking alternatives to doing business with China! The Chinese regime is in a lethal position and has only two choices. The regime can either give the US what it wants or perish. President Trump recognizes that China is in an all out war with the US in regards to information and economics. For years Western leaders have done nothing but negotiate into weak positions, never standing up to the Communist regime. Former US Presidents treated China like they did Russia...

The reaction to President Trump's sudden interest in buying Greenland from Denmark has been mostly one of derision. And Denmark, which owns the territory, appears to oppose any sale. But don't laugh — an American purchase of Greenland could represent an extraordinary deal in terms of America's national security, economic interests, and environmental protection. As much as it might seem out of the blue, U.S. acquisition of Greenland is not at all a strange or irrational idea. Following Denmark's fall to Nazi Germany in 1940, American forces defended Greenland. The roots of American-Greenland comradeship are thus old and formal. In...

An MSNBC guest questioned the intelligence of Trump voters on Friday, asking if anyone who attended President Trump's rally in Manchester, N.H., can "point out Greenland on a map?" On Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has asked his advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, during "meetings, dinners, and passing conversations" because of Greenland's "abundant resources and geopolitical importance." However, "The Beat" managing editor Tiffany Cross expressed concern when she heard that "the descendants of colonizers" are flimsily considering "taking land from indigenous people." "This is something, you know his supporters are like...

Move over “race card,” there is no need for you to do all the heavy lifting anymore. No, because now just being against the current president is more than enough license for unhinged liberal “thought leaders” to spew hateful, incendiary and increasingly dangerous rhetoric against all things MAGA.Isn’t racism, which has been the central theme focused against all things Trump and his ardent base of supporters, so 2018? I mean, shouting racist at Trump didn’t prevent historic ascension to the presidency in 2016, did it? It hasn’t prevented a plurality of Americans from supporting common sense border security and immigration...

Did President Donald Trump launch his Twitter barrage at Elijah Cummings simply because the Baltimore congressman was black? Was it just a "racist" attack on a member of the Black Caucus? Or did Trump go after Cummings after a Saturday Fox News report that his district was in far worse condition than the Mexican border area for which Cummings had demagogically berated Border Patrol agents? Here are Trump's crucial tweets: "Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 6h Speaking of failing badly, has anyone seen what is happening to Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco. It is not even recognizeable lately. Something must be done before it is too late. The Dems should stop wasting time on the Witch Hunt Hoax and start focusing on our Country!
