The U.S. Secret Service reiterated that it “must provide protection” to former presidents amid speculation that President Donald Trump could be jailed by a New York judge for violating his gag order. On Monday, Judge Juan Merchan told the former president that if he continues to violate a gag order for speaking about witnesses and other individuals connected to the trial, he could face a jail term. In response to questions about how the Secret Service would respond if President Trump were jailed, a spokesperson for the agency told The Epoch Times Tuesday that “under federal law, the United States...

Another J6 defendant has tragically taken his own life. Per the Epoch Times: January 6 defendant David Homol, 55, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 17. David Homol was arrested by Biden’s FBI Gestapo agents in January 2024 – 3 years after the Capitol protest – and hit with 8 charges. Homol is at least the 5th January 6 defendant to commit suicide after being indicted by Biden’s Justice Department.

Given the current state of things, I felt compelled to start a prayer thread for President Trump today as the attacks against him right now are particularly vicious. If he can't be brought down legally, then the forces that be seek to break him down mentally, physically, and spiritually -- not to mention his wife and family, and all his millions, nay, billions of supporters around the world. The fact he is still standing at all right now is nothing short of miraculous. Mr. Trump is NO saint nor prophet, but he is a vessel in need of the Savior,...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump was a “despicable person” who should not be trusted with the nuclear codes. Discussing the details of adult film star Stormy Daniels’ testimony during the New York business record case, Behar said, “The major thing for me is he did not wear a condom. I’ll tell you why. First of all, this is a guy, it’s because of him they’re overthrowing Roe v. Wade all over the place.” She continued, “He says women who get pregnant and have abortions should be punished and here he...

Stormy Daniels on Tuesday took the stand in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial against President Trump. “Judge Merchan agrees with Bragg and Biden’s attorneys saying that Stormy Daniels has “credibility” to testify about an alleged affair, even though she’s repeatedly denied any such affair over the years and even went on record by issuing an official statement denying such an affair.” TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia reported on Tuesday. Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their...

This week, the case against former President Trump for mishandling classified documents took some surprising turns. Investigative journalist Julie Kelly discovered that the boxes of documents seized from Trump's Mara-La-Go home were boxes that the General Services Administration told Trump he needed to take off their hands. He is now being tried for having these documents in his possession against the wishes of the National Archives. Despite claiming he had no role in the decision to prosecute Trump for unauthorized possession of classified documents--something he has done, but was excused because of his dementia--newly unredacted documents reveal that President Biden...

Who can forget that infamous photograph from the Biden Justice Department of the raid on Mar-a-Lago that showed a pile of documents with “Secret” and “Top Secret” cover sheets messily strewn about on the floor? Trump haters saw the photo as proof that Trump had grossly mishandled classified documents. As we previously reported, the boxes containing classified documents had been in the National Archives' possession before they requested that Trump's people take them. As if it wasn't enough that the Biden administration likely set up Trump, we now have proof that the infamous photo was staged. "A few weeks after...

How many catastrophic yet entertaining courtroom fails can one team of prosecutors suffer before the judge calls a halt to this goat rodeo? It's time to dismiss this case against Donald Trump after Friday's testimony. But don't get your hopes up. The bulldogger of this rodeo is the judge. Now, before we get to the testimony of Hope Hicks, who just removed–yet again—the prosecution's foundation for a conspiracy they allege but didn't charge, let's appreciate what we've got so far (roughly in order): Misdemeanor bookkeeping charges announcedA DA hinting that federal election laws were broken to steal the 2016 election,...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you, especially when all of the sleazebags, lowlifes, and grifters that you oppose are allowed to say absolutely anything that they want. It is hard to sit back and listen to lies and false statements be made against you knowing that if you respond, even in the most modest fashion, you are told by a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge that you will be PUT IN PRISON, maybe for...

On the surface, Trump supporters are “well-educated and successful” professionals, but underneath that veneer we’re monsters… who want to make America great again.At least, that’s what Michelle Kosinksi thinks, because a first hand experience enjoying dinner with supporters of the president has left a permanent impression that will “haunt” her.Here’s the story, from Fox News:Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how ‘normal’ a group of ‘closeted’ Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to ‘haunt’ her.‘All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great!...

Good news for the rule of law. The Georgia Court of Appeals agreed to review the President Donald Trump’s appeal to disqualify disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the sham RICO case against him. Via Phil Holloway.

"That Montana meat cutter became I guess the number one recipient of lobbyists dollars in all of Washington." Donald Trump Jr. endorses Tim Sheehy for Montana senator, says Jon Tester godson claimed he 'sold out' to the Washington swamp. At a recent Republican rally in Missoula, Montana, Donald Trump Jr. revealed that Democratic Senator Jon Tester’s godson admitted to him that Tester sold out to the swamp and supports Republican nominee Tim Sheehy for the senate seat. Speaking before a crowd of over 300 attendees, Trump Jr. expressed support for Republican nominee Tim Sheehy in the Montana Senate race, painting...

Inquiring minds would love to know.

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 FLASHBACK: Judge Cannon's judgment was correct when she appointed a special master--or 3rd party--to handle the items seized by FBI during MAL raid. She noted the unprecedented nature of the raid and warned public trust into the investigation was paramount. Cannon on 9/5/22:

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday on “The Source” that during the New York business record case, adult film star Stormy Daniels’ cross-examination by former President Donald Trump’s lawyers was “disastrous.” Honig said, “It’s hard for me to believe that a juror heard that and thought, this is entirely made up. There may well be some embellishments…but I think it’s quite clear they had sex in 2006 in that hotel room. But the cross-exam, boy, her responses were disastrous. I mean, ‘Do you hate Donald Trump?’ Yes. Of course, she does. That’s a big deal. When the witness...

FBI planted classified cover sheets. Chain-of-Custody for classified documents was broken.

New York City's Rikers Island is prepared if former President Donald Trump is ordered to serve time in jail amid his unprecedented trial in Manhattan, Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday. "Our amazing commissioner … is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island," Adams told the media Tuesday when asked if Rikers, New York City's largest prison, is prepared if Trump is ordered to jail for violating a gag order imposed during the trial. "I'm pretty sure [the Department of Corrections commissioner] would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation. As you see what's happening with Harvey Weinstein, we...

...Isn't it interesting when we got a bunch of African American DAs, now we need Daddy to tell us what to do," Willis remarked at a campaign event in K&K Soul Food's parking lot. "So, y'all can go put that in your sound bite for today, but today I am here so I can reach my community, and this is really messing up my business," Willis told a press gaggle, according to Atlanta News First.

The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review former President Donald Trump's application to appeal Judge Scott McAfee's ruling to keep embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on the case. Judge McAfee's order in March said that special prosecutor Nathan Wade had to be removed in order to keep Willis from disqualification in the Trump election interference case in Georgia. Willis and Wade were alleged to have had an "improper" affair. Trump and several co-defendants alleged Willis and Wade were romantically involved prior to his hiring and that she financially benefited from the relationship. Both Willis and Wade...

Paul Ryan, a member of the Fox Corporation Board of Directors, will not vote for former President Donald Trump, he told Yahoo on Tuesday at the Milken Institute Global Conference. Ryan’s pledge is his latest attack against the America First movement. In April he praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for his leadership at a time when the Speaker’s actions permitted Democrats to seize control of the House. Sound up! House Republicans know this is true and Hakeem Jeffries started controlling the House when Johnson became Speaker. Anyone that hears this and still defends Mike Johnson’s Speakership is ok with...
