WASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) - Donald Trump said on Thursday the survival of Ukraine is important to the United States, a shift in tone days before the Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is due to vote on a $61 billion aid package.

When Donald Trump referred to the illegal immigrant accused of killing 22-year-old Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus as an "animal," the liberal media went aflame with outrage. Thus on MSNBC, Joy Reid condemned Trump's "dehumanizing and degrading" language [see clip at 2:00.] So, surely, no one on MSNBC would ever use the a-for-animal word in describing Donald Trump! Oh, wait. On today's Morning Joe, Mara Gay, an MSNBC analyst and member of the editorial board of the New York Times, said of Trump: "He's like a caged animal. And that's a dangerous situation. He's feeling very threatened....

The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday morning in the case of Fischer v. United States, one of the many criminal cases arising out of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Like defendants in a large subset of those cases, Joseph Fischer was charged, among other offenses, with obstruction of an official proceeding under 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2). Fischer’s case in the Supreme Court challenges whether the events of that day can be prosecuted using this obstruction statute. Most of the justices seemed dubious, or at a minimum concerned, about the Department of Justice’s very broad interpretation of the...

Rep. David Trone, D-Md., who was recently blasted for using a disparaging term for Black people during a House hearing, is officially the largest self-funded candidate of a Senate primary race in U.S. history. Trone contributed $18.5 million of his own money to his Maryland Senate campaign, Fox News confirmed. And he brought in a total of over $40 million, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). No candidate running in a Senate primary has contributed this amount in recorded Senate primary history. "David Trone has been crystal clear that he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to...

Well, at least the New York Knicks tried. The 2010 recruitment video that the team put together in an effort to recruit LeBron James to the Big Apple leaked Tuesday courtesy of Pablo Torre, who shared parts of it on his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out. It includes no shortage of star power from the likes of fictional characters Tony and Carmelo Soprano, a future president in Donald Trump, actors Chris Rock and Robert De Niro, Knicks fan and director Spike Lee, and many more celebrities: There is certainly some irony to Trump, of all people, being included in a...

If anybody has any doubt about the extreme liberal bias of Politico, an article they published on Friday should resolve that matter. Their legal editor, James Romoser, attempted to portray the legal system as being too nice to Donald Trump. The diatribe was headlined: "How Donald Trump Gets Special Treatment in the Legal System."

VIDEOImagine if a white candidate for district attorney proclaimed he was running for that office in order to go after rich old black people, specifically Barack Obama, who "evaded accountability." Even in heavily white rural areas such a candidate would become an immediate pariah with no hope of being elected as D.A.. However, that is exactly what Alvin Bragg did (with the races reversed) in January 2021 while running for Manhattan D.A. when he described Donald Trump as a "rich old white man" who evaded accountability. There is absolutely no doubt that Bragg was elected as District Attorney specifically because...

CNN's legal analyst Elie Honig writing in a Cafe Brief newsletter that was reprinted in New York magazine on Friday presented both the pro and anti Trump ways of looking at the Alvin Bragg case that takes place on April 15 in Manhattan. It is obvious which of the two point of view that Honig thinks is most realistic in "Donald Trump’s Trial Is a Rorschach Test."

On today's CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt danced on the latest media party line, that Donald Trump can't pose as a "moderate" on abortion now after appointing Supreme Court justices that repealed Roe vs. Wade. But then Hunt unleashed a series of pro-abortion messages, airing for free 30 seconds of a new Biden-Harris campaign ad, as well as an ad for Democrat Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky, and a teary interview with Texas native Kate Cox from NBC News. The Biden ad, in which a sobbing Amanda Zurawski displays a tiny blanket for her child, ended with this blunt...

UConn has notched a notable double: back-to-back NCAA men's basketball championships. But that achievement pales in comparison to the quintuple-header that Joe Scarborough has pulled off. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough slammed, for what he called their radicalism on abortion: "old, fat, white men in Mississippi."Let's see: in one phrase, Scarborough managed to engage in ageism, fat-shaming, racism, sexism, and negative Southern stereotyping! Even for the liberal media, that could represent a landmark first! Somewhere, Joy Reid is dying of envy! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

VIDEOYou can judge the effectiveness of a meme by the reactions to it. And by this standard the Trump Eclipse meme was a resounding SUCCESS judging by the number of IRKED liberal reactions to it. BTW, some think this meme was an official Trump campaign ad (looking at YOU, Time magazine) which makes this even funnier. Oh, and the guy at the end didn't seem so much of an irked liberal like the others and just a Trump impressionist who aided the popularity of the Trump Eclipse meme by doing a bit about it.

VIDEOI always thought of Utah as a very sober (pun intended) place so imagine my surprise when I found out that Utah Governor (and Trump hater) Spencer Cox gives off strong WEIRDO vibes. I think his antipathy towards President Trump goes beyond just the political and into the MENTAL. The very very MENTAL.

VIDEOGood Friday wasn't such a Good Friday for Nicole Wallace because that's when it suddenly dawned on her that President Trump keeps winning, winning, WINNING despite all the politically weaponized lawfare thrown at him. It was at that moment of realization that Nicole's frustrations boiled over into an epic meltdown. Oh, and her fellow MSNBC guests, including Michael Luttig whose Trump ballot denial scheme was UNANIMOUSLY laughed out of the Supreme Court, shared in her deep funereal TDS grief.

Joe Scarborough dug deep into his bag of Trump-Hitler analogies on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough began by analogizing the January 6 riot to Kristallnacht, the 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom led by the Nazi SS. Kristallnacht was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Jews, and the damage or destruction of hundreds of synagogues and thousands of Jewish businesses. It is seen as the precursor to The Final Solution--the Holocaust. To in any way equate this riot to a pogrom is wildly inaccurate and repulsive. Later, Scarborough boasted to George Conway: "You and I were conservatives, and are conservatives, but we were...

Amidst all the liberal outrage over NBC's hiring of Ronna McDaniel, CNN offered an example this morning of what passes for a perfectly acceptable revolving-door hire. CNN commentator Ashley Allison was on a CNN This Morning panel to discuss Trump's hawking of a God Bless America Bible. Allison was the National Coalitions Director for Biden-Harris 2020 and deputy director and senior policy advisor for the Obama White House Office of Public Engagement, where she strategized on running campaigns during "the Resistance." Her bio features her commitment to "equity."Allison displayed a combination of fearmongering and ignorance about America's founding. Allison claimed...

Former President Donald Trump is urging his supporters to buy a "God Bless the USA" Bible for $59.99 as he faces mounting legal bills amid his third presidential run.

Monday was a tough day for liberals. In the wave of wailings over a New York appeals court ruling that reduced Donald Trump's bond from $454 million to $175 million, few were more plaintive than the meltdown emanating from the author of Taking Down Trump. Tristan Snell is a former assistant Attorney General of New York and MSNBC analyst. It was so bad that it seemed as if another type of analyst would be needed to get him over the emotional toll the appeals court decision handed him.Contrast the wailing Snell on MSNBC below to the smug, smirking Snell who...

VIDEOFirst they GLOATED. And then they cried. Oh, how they cried. And they are still crying over the appeals court in New York reducing Donald's Trump bond in DEMENTED Judge Engoron and CORRUPT DA Letitia James' case. Yes, the liberals were drooling over the strain the original bond would put upon Trump's finances right up until the bond was REDUCED from $454 million to $175 million which coincidentally happened at almost the same time Trump became billions of dollars richer due to his Truth Social soaring in price on its first day of NASDAQ trading. Was this all just a...
