Donald Trump Announces Presidential Bid as Missle Lands in Poland

By ,

President Donald J. Trump formally announced his bid to take back the Whitehouse in 2024 Tuesday evening before a group of supporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate

“We have to get out of this ditch,” he declared. “I am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the United States.” 

The announcement has been anticipated by the former Presidents base since 2020. 

“The Washington establishment wants to silence us, but we will not let them do that,” he told a cheering crowd at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. “What we have built together over the past six years is the greatest movement in history because it is not about politics. It’s about our love for this great country, America, and we’re not going to let it fail.

“We have to get out of this ditch. And once we’re out, you’ll see things that nobody imagined for any country. It’s called the United States of America. And it’s an incredible place.”

The announcement comes as tensions once again increase in Eastern Europe, where an explosion caused by a missile killed two people in NATO-aligned Poland. CNN and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were quick to pin the tragic mishap on Russia, who in turn denied the allegations outright.

In the hours following the explosion, U.S. officials briefed the Associated Press. Breitbart reports:

However, three U.S. officials who “spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly” have now briefed the Associated Press that preliminary investigations suggest it was actually Ukraine that struck Poland, likely as a result of an anti-aircraft missile or missiles fired at an incoming Russian bombardment going off course.

Speaking to reporters at the G20 summit in Indonesia, U.S. President Joe Biden appeared to echo these sentiments when asked about the missiles being fired by Russia, saying there is “preliminary information that contests that.”

“It is unlikely in the lines of the trajectory that it was fired from Russia, but we’ll see,” he said, reserving final judgment until investigations are complete.

Desantis and Trump Have a Very Public Disagreement Over Colorado Senate Candidate

By ,

This isn’t the first public display of a major rift forming between the two top contenders for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, but it might be the most severe disagreement to date.

On Sunday, Ron DeSantis endorsed Joe O’Dea, an openly anti-Trump Republican Senate candidate who has managed to close the gap in a historically blue state.

It wasn’t long before Donald Trump expressed his opinion on Truth Social, calling the move a “BIG MISTAKE!”

The Washington Examiner recently reported that DeSantis would be recording a robocall for O’Dea, who’s trailing Democrat incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet by 7.5 percent in the RealClearPolitics polling average, although the gap has been narrowing in what was expected to be an easy Democratic win.

Desantis in the robocall said:

“Hello this is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. America needs strong leadership desperately. That’s why I’m endorsing Joe O’Dea for U.S. Senate. Colorado, please vote for Joe O’Dea,”

“I’ve watched Joe from a distance. And I’m impressed.”

The Flordia Governor goes on to say that O’Dea, a 60-year-old businessman, “isn’t a career politician. He’s a contractor. He’s built a company from nothing. He’s a leader who knows how to fight and get results. Michael Bennet votes with Joe Biden 98 percent of the time. The results have been a disaster for the American people,”

“Colorado needs new leadership.”

“Joe’s focused on building the wall and cracking down on crime,” DeSantis noted. “He’ll stand up to the big spending politicians in both parties and cut red tape. Vote Joe O’Dea and let’s turn Colorado red!”

Some see this robocall as a “pointed rejection” of Donald Trump, as O’Dea has been vocal on CNN about his intention to distance himself and his campaign from the former president.

O’Dea recently appeared on CNN, where he promised to work against any attempt by Trump to secure the Republican nomination for the third time.

“I don’t think Donald Trump should run again,” O’Dea said. “I’m going to actively campaign against Donald Trump and make sure that we have got four or five really great Republicans right now.

“Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, they could run and serve for eight years,” he added. “I’m going to do my job as a U.S. senator to make sure that they have good campaigns in the primary here, so we have a good selection of candidates for 2024.”

Trump took to Truth Social the following day to denounce O’Dea.

“There’s this RINO character in the Great State of Colorado, Joe O’Dea, that is running against the incumbent Democrat for the United States Senate, who is having a good old time saying that he wants to ‘distance’ himself from President Trump, and other slightly nasty things,” Trump wrote.

“He should look at the Economy, Inflation, Energy Independence, defeating ISIS, the Strongest EVER Border, Great Trade Deals, & much more, before he speaks. MAGA doesn’t Vote for stupid people with big mouths. Good luck Joe!”

Given that, DeSantis‘ “BIG MISTAKE” endorsement represents the most public break between the two biggest names competing for the 2024 GOP nod.

There have been more private signs of a break, with Trump (now a Florida resident) not endorsing DeSantis in his 2022 re-election bid and DeSantis not particularly eager for the former president’s help on the campaign trail.

A Trump adviser told The Washington Post last month that while DeSantis and Trump used to talk regularly, “those days are gone”

Trump Slams FOX, Vows to Help CNN Become a “Gold Mine” if it Veers More Conservative

By ,

FOX News has a strained relationship with Trump supporters. Since the election, many MAGA republicans who feel misrepresented by the network have tuned out altogether. A recent statement by Donald Trump could suggest that those lost viewers may never return.

Former President Donald Trump criticized the network on Sunday for continually aiding the “democrat agenda”, going so far as to suggest that CNN of all places could become the next conservative media “gold mine” if the network’s politics were to shift.

As per his post on Truth Social:

Wow! Fox News is really pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda. Gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed. RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and on all the time – Has a big record of losing! Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the “pervert” purchased ads. If “low ratings” CNN ever went Conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so

One of the most recent examples of FOX’s fall from favor with the MAGA crowd was an article featured on Fox News insisting the FBI raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was “justified,” . Many pro-MAGA outlets, including the Gateway Pundit, believe the article contributes to an establishment push to derail Donald Trump’s presumed 2024 campaign. 

An interview from June between Bret Baier and Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake also caused many America First conservatives to further criticize the network.

At CPAC last month, Lake told Steve Bannon that the ambush interview was the only time FOX reached out to have her on in over 7 months, during what many believe was the most important primary in the country.

The most interesting thing that Donald Trump mentioned in his post was the possibility that CNN, which in recent years has veered far to the left, could somehow be salvaged by leaning more conservative, an effort Trump sounds eager to help with. 

Chris Licht, the new boss over at CNN, has now reportedly told anchors to cease use of the term “the big lie” when talking about 2020 election fraud – Licht pointed out that this line is the same one used by Democrats.

Claire Atkinson, the chief media correspondent for the Insider, recently warned that “there’s going to be the possibility of people leaving CNN, and the possibility that ratings go down” as a result of the network’s efforts to become more neutral. 

Trump Promises Rehire + Backpay for Military Personel Who Refused Vaccine, Vigilant News Gets Exclusive Interview With National Guard Captain

By ,

Donald Trump spoke at the Turning Point USA Conference in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. During his speech, the former President and potential 2024 candidate mentioned the thousands of military personnel who were fired for rejecting the experimental mRNA COVID Vaccines.

As per Trump’s Speech:

“We have to abolish all Covid mandates and lockdowns, re-hire every patriot who was shamefully fired from the military with an apology. We have to give them an apology and all of their backpay.”

And people wonder why the military loves Donald Trump.

Below is a video of the speech from the Turning Point USA Conference:

This will be a huge benefit not only for struggling families whose primary source of income was yanked from them amidst record inflation but for our severely weakened military.

We recently interviewed Cpt. Mickey Sheldon of the Tennessee National Guard, who, using his 1st amendment right, gave us his firsthand experience of what the brave men and women of our military have been going through.

Trump Reveals in NY Mag Interview: “I’ve already made that decision,” about 2024 Presidential Bid

By ,

In a recent NY Mag interview, released earlier today, President Donald Trump partially revealed his plans for 2024. The important bits of that interview is presented below.

Related New 40-Year Record High Inflation, 9.1%—The Real Number is Much Worse

Before reviewing Trump’s comments about his 2024 run, it’s prudent to frame who did this interview.

The NY Mag is owned by Vox Media, which received an equity investment from NBCUniversal, which is owned by Comcast Corporation, which The Vanguard Group and BlackRock Fund Advisors each have stakes in. This daisy-chain oligopolistic ownership is typical in today’s increasingly unipolar world—where the illusion of competition is only skin deep. The agenda of this cohorts of media organizations appears clear—attack anything that counters the globalist narrative.

Given this, if there is one man that is seen as a clear and present threat, it’s Donald J. Trump.

The liberal new world order behind the shadowy asset managers that own shares in MSNBC, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, CNN, Fox—The Vanguard Group inc and BlackRock Fund Advisors—are at it again with another smear piece designed to reinforce the momentum of smear laid down over the past six years.

In the all too familier style of the liberal media since Trump walked down the escalator in 2016, The Intelligencer opened the piece by reminding their audience: “Trump was impeached twice, lost the 2020 election by 7,052,770 votes, is entangled in investigations by federal prosecutors (over the Capitol insurrection and over the mishandling of classified White House documents and over election interference) and the District of Columbia attorney general (over financial fraud at the Presidential Inaugural Committee) and the Manhattan district attorney (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the New York State attorney general (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the Westchester County district attorney (over financial fraud at the Trump Organization) and the Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney (over criminal election interference in Georgia) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (over rules violations in plans to take his social-media company public through a SPAC) and the House Select Committee on January 6 (whose hearings are the runaway TV-ratings hit of the summer), yet on Monday, July 11, he was in a fantastic mood.”

The piece is heavy-handed on opinion, with liberal heaps of TDS pervading almost every sentence.

Trump’s statements about 2024 are as follows.

“Look,” Trump said, “I feel very confident that, if I decide to run, I’ll win.”

Trump continues, “Well, in my own mind, I’ve already made that decision, so nothing factors in anymore. In my own mind, I’ve already made that decision.”

In the usual style of the yet-to-be recognized two-time US presidential race winner, Trump hinted at a lot without saying anything definitive—a master of hype.

“I would say my big decision will be whether I go before or after,” he said.

“You understand what that means?” Trump said to the NY Mag reporter.

The reporter, asking for clarity about what Trump was talking about, said “mid-terms.” At this point, Trump appeared to confirm the implication of the question, saying, “Do I go before or after? That will be my big decision.”

Trump then talks about polls, suggesting that if he didn’t run, it would influence other candidates to consider throwing their hats in the race.

“I just think that there are certain assets to before,” he said. “Let people know. I think a lot of people would not even run if I did that because, if you look at the polls, they don’t even register. Most of these people. And I think that you would actually have a backlash against them if they ran. People want me to run.”

Trump said he didn’t feel intimidated by Ron Desantis before he was cut off by the NY Mag reporter

“I don’t feel that,” he said, “I endorsed Ron, he was at 3, and as soon as I endorsed him, he went to first place, he was not gonna win, then —”

The reporter seems to ask Trump if he’s talking about competition for 2024.

“Yeah, no, I meant when he ran for governor, as you know, he was running and then he came to me for an endorsement because he was not, you know, he was at 3 percent.”

Trump continued about Desantis, “the race was over, and I think Ron knows that better than anybody. We have a good relationship, and, uhh, there may be some others soon, but that’s okay.”

At the end of the day, the NY Mag interview didn’t offer a lot more clarity, it merely confirmed what almost everyone believes—Trump will run in 2024.

The liberal media is so desperate to cut down Trump, that they recently said that they have no strategy for dealing with him in 2024.

Mark Leibovich said, an Americal journalist, told Meet The Press “Look we have no plan for this, except sitting around hoping [Trump] dies.”

Recall that Iran published a video depicting Trump’s assassination at the beginning of this year.

And of course, the J6 un-select committee is working overtime—and failing—to destroy Trump’s reputation.

If these signs are any indication, Trump and America Firsters will win by landslides in their respective elections.
