 Red State: ... Watch: The ad starts with Bragg taking to the podium in April 2023 to announce that Trump had just been arraigned for the charges. The music turns ominous as former Attorney General Bill Barr says, “This case is an abomination.” Truer words were never spoken, but the New York jury didn’t seem to care. Barr continued: “You know, it's obviously political. Seven years to try to come up with this case. They're just wrong on the law.” “The only crime that Donald Trump is being prosecuted for is the crime of running for president,” former White House speechwriter under George W. Bush Marc Thiessen agreed. ...

Newsmax: Former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have discussed an advisory role should Trump be re-elected president, the Wall Street Journal reported. The Tesla CEO and Trump have talked about ways to give Musk input and influence over border security and the economy, which Musk has tweeted about on X, formerly known as Twitter, which he now owns, the Journal reported. Musk's role would be like one Isaac Perlmutter, former Marvel chairman, held in the first Trump administration, according to the Journal. Musk had previously served on a White House business advisory group during the first Trump administration, but resigned in 2017 after Trump withdrew from the Paris climate accords. Musk and billionaire investor Nelson Peltz have also pitched Trump on a data-driven project aimed at preventing voter fraud, according to the Journal. Musk and Trump chat on the phone several times a month, people familiar with their talks said. Trump and Musk have discussed immigration, technology...

   Townhall: As the jury deliberates on the verdict in the Trump hush money trial, I wouldn’t have been shocked if this body got deadlocked. Then, Judge Merchan decided to  tilt the scales , offering confusing instructions and guidelines to the jurors and setting up fertile ground for an appeal should things go sideways. One thing is clear: the American people do not care. CNN’s Harry Enten broke that down, showing the Left’s attempt at damaging Donald Trump through weaponizing our legal system has backfired: It reached the point where hosts on this network, who I’d never thought would offer rational takes on this matter, admitted that if Trump weren’t the defendant, a trial in this hush money matter, let alone an indictment, wouldn’t have been handed down. Most Americans don’t think that Trump can get a fair trial—they see through the shenanigans here: The former president got  engulfed in a legal circus , where a misdemeanor charge was elevated to a felony but whos...

   Newsmax: Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist poll showing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents. "54 to 42," Trump said outside the Manhattan courtroom where jurors are to reconvene for deliberations in his business records trial. "That's among independents. That's the best we've ever done, the poll says, among independents." According the poll, Biden and Trump are in a statistical tie — with 50% for Biden and 48% for Trump lying within the margin of error — but Trump pulled out the lead of 54%-42% over Biden among independents. ... It is hard to imagine why any independent thinker would support Biden.  The results of his presidentcy have been high inflation and wars popping up in Europe and the Middle East leading to the US throwing Billions in support of those wars.  See also: Dick Morris: Trump Will Still Win

   American Action News: Billionaires Elon Musk and Nelson Peltz are reportedly involved in an ongoing campaign in powerful networks to persuade influential business executives nationwide not to back President Joe Biden’s reelection effort, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Musk , who owns social media platform X, is a prominent critic of Biden and has faced many investigations stemming from the current president’s administration since purchasing the company, which was formerly called Twitter. Musk and others who share his political views have been organizing meetings to target Biden, according to individuals familiar with the discussions, the WSJ reported . Peltz, who founded an investment company called Trian Partners, told The Financial Times in March that he plans to support Trump because of immigration issues and due to fears about Biden’s “mental condition.” Musk, Peltz and others intend to keep hosting dinners and meetings around the U.S. with business e...

  Newt Gingrich & Jim Frogue: null President Joe Biden’s full-frontal assault on Medicare is becoming visible to America’s seniors. It will result in fewer patient choices, reduced benefits, and ultimately worse health outcomes. Biden’s efforts, assisted by Congressional Democrats, are destroying Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage was originally created as Medicare Part C in 1997 when I was Speaker of the House. It was introduced to create more comprehensive health plan options for seniors that included, for the first time, prescription drug coverage. The idea was to leverage consumer choice and market competition by insurers. Seniors can change plans annually for any reason. More than 30 million seniors are in Medicare Advantage, which is more than half of all Medicare-eligible seniors. Enrollment has been on a “steady climb for the for past two decades,” according to the Kaiser Family Foundation . All MA enrollees have v...

"It’s a different world than it was 10 years ago. You can’t make anyone happy. You can’t win," one celebrity publicist told CNN. Celebrity insiders who spoke to the news outlet said that tensions over Israel and the increased polarization in the country has left many stars wary to back Biden. "Celebs feel, more than ever, that the perceived cost is higher," a political strategist who advises celebrities added. "Is it even worth it?" ...

  PJ Media: On Friday night before the Memorial Day weekend when no one was looking, Special Counsel Jack Smith, he of the J6 and Mar-a-Lago federal cases against Donald Trump, made a move that looked desperate, contemptuous, and vindictive. Now Trump's lawyers have responded, and you may want to get the popcorn.  Since Joe Biden unleashed the dogs on Donald Trump and green-lighted all the criminal charges against the former president, including the raid on his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, sentient Americans have wondered how much more ridiculous this lawfare will get. Asked and answered. Friday night's latest insult move came in the form of an urgent request to federal Judge Aileen Cannon to essentially gag the former leader of the free world because he's DANGEROUS and says dangerous things about the FBI!  Smith said that Trump's TruthSocial post on May 21 put FBI officers at risk. Trump wondered in his post who's a bigger "threat to democracy," him or the...

   Athena Thorne: In entirely predictable developments, the Biden administration's projection of weakness, indecisiveness, and moral collapse has led to instability and strife all across the globe. Was it only less than four years ago that President Trump oversaw the historic Abraham Accords? That Israel signed recognition and normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in an unprecedented swing towards peace in the modern Middle East? Ah, those were the days. Now, war rages as Israel hunts down the Hamas barbarians that attacked civilians last fall. The Biden administration is worse than leaderless; it's actively taking positions that will prolong the conflict. For Israel's sake, thank God that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still knows how to win a war: by crushing the enemy. It's not pretty, but in this situation, it's the best chance at re-establishing longer-lasting peace and stability. Meanwhile, the Biden administration busie...

   Fox News: President Biden is launching a new effort to reach out to Black voters as polls show the president is losing ground with that key Democratic constituency to his rival, former President Donald Trump. The Biden-Harris campaign on Wednesday announced an eight-figure spending blitz to drive engagement with Black student organizations, community groups and faith centers nationally and in battleground states as the president seeks to rally support for his reelection.

   Newsmax: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito should not recuse himself from any Jan. 6 cases, former U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman told Newsmax on Wednesday night. Alito has rejected calls to step aside from cases involving former President Donald Trump and defendants from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol because of the controversy over flags that flew over his homes. In letters to members of Congress on Wednesday, Alito said his wife, Martha-Ann, was responsible for flying an upside-down flag over his home in 2021 and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag at his New Jersey beach house last year. Both flags were like those carried by protesters who attacked the Capitol in January 2021 while echoing Trump's claims of election fraud. "I know Justice Alito. I worked on his confirmation actually and have been following his career for many years. I can tell you, if you want to talk about judicial temperament and discretion, there's not a more thoughtful man that I've...

 NY Post: By refusing repeated chances to answer simple questions about a May 3 incident at Quantico Marine Corps base , the Biden administration has essentially confirmed one of America’s worst — and most politically consequential — nightmares related to the ongoing border crisis. Two illegal immigrants just attempted a terror attack on US soil. We know that a Jordanian who illegally crossed the border joined up with another Jordanian who had overstayed his visa, and drove a box truck to the gates of Quantico. They claimed to be Amazon delivery drivers , and tried to access a site that houses the FBI training academy, military officer training schools, and military criminal investigations and intelligence commands. Quick-thinking military police stopped the truck, and charged the men with trespassing before turning them over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ... The government refuses to say if either of these men were on a terror watch list, if they made any confessions ...

   Prudent Politics: ... The Biden administration’s initiative to boost voter registration is raising legal concerns, with experts suggesting it may violate multiple federal laws. President Joe Biden’s executive order, signed in March 2021, directs federal agencies to explore ways to promote voter registration and participation, collaborating with nonprofits in get-out-the-vote efforts. However, the initiative’s opaque implementation process has made it difficult to ascertain its legality, according to legal experts who have been recently interviewed by reporters. At the heart of the controversy is the Hatch Act, which restricts federal employees from engaging in political activities. Election law attorney Audrey Perry Martin indicated that the order could breach this law, depending on its execution. “If executive agencies accept volunteer services from third-party organizations with a partisan purpose to register voters, that would appear to violate the Hatch Act,” Audrey sha...

 Newsmax: The White House on Tuesday provided the most complete definition yet of what it considers a "major ground operation" in Rafah that could trigger a change in United States policy toward Israel, and said Israel's actions there have not yet reached that level. "We have not seen them smash into Rafah - we have not seen them go in with large units, large numbers of troops in columns and formations in some sort of coordinated maneuver against multiple targets on the ground. That is a major ground operation. We have not seen that," White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters at a briefing. Israel's three-week-old Rafah offensive stirred renewed outrage and prompted an outcry from global leaders after an airstike on Sunday that Gaza officials said killed at least 45 people when a blaze ignited in a tent camp in a western district. As the war's toll rises, President Biden has been facing increased pressure from all sides -- lawm...
