Donald Trump Jr. pressed his father, former President Donald Trump, to select a “strong “fighter” as his running mate.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump Jr. highlighted the importance of choosing the right vice president, wanting someone who can take a punch and hit back harder.
“What I want in that role is, I want a fighter,” stated Trump Jr., “I understand what they are going to throw at us.”
“In 2016, you needed someone to balance out [the ticket] — that’s where Mike Pence made sense, sort of the yin and yang, but [given] the vicious nature of the swamp and the insanity we see on a daily basis, you need someone who can take those hits,” he continued.
Trump Jr. reveals that he’s been pushing people such as Vivek Ramaswamy, a former GOP candidate, and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson to be Trump’s running mate. Trump Jr.

Donald Trump’s claims of “executive privilege” will not block key administration deputies from testifying before the federal grand jury investigating the former president for his campaign to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his role in the bloody events of Jan. 6.
As reported by ABC and CNN, a federal judge has dismissed Trump’s bid to prevent Special Counsel Jack Smith from questioning White House witnesses about their former boss. Judge Beryl Howell issued the decision in a sealed order last week.

Rather than attacking the merits of the impending alleged hush money case against Donald Trump, Republicans on Fox News suggested that the news of former president’s potential arrest is part of a secret plan to distract from the allegations against Hunter Biden.
“Well, it’s very odd that [the news of a possible Trump indictment] would come out just the very next day after I revealed bank records which showed that the Biden family — the president in particular — hasn’t been truthful with respect to his family receiving payments directly from the Chinese communist party,” Republican Rep.

In his year and a half in exile, former President Donald Trump has been sketching out his possible return to power, filling his time with authoritarian revenge fantasies and several ideas for government personnel that sound like they sprang directly from a Fox News control room.
Since last year, the twice-impeached former president has — two sources familiar with the matter say — made a habit out of asking golfing buddies and certain confidants about which hardcore Trump sycophants he should appoint to his new Cabinet, White House counsel’s office, the Department of Justice,...

Thought 2020 sucked? Well, get ready for 2021, where we’ll have to deal with not only new mutated virus strains, economic collapse, political instability and environmental catastrophes, but also jackbooted super soldiers who’re immune to pain and have advanced senses and inhuman strength.
Sound crazy? Well, China has already confirmed the development of genetically enhanced troops and now France has officially given an ethical thumbs-up to their own bionic commandos, and it doesn’t sound like they’ll be Captain America-style good guys.
The report released by the French military this week outlines various procedures that will enhance soldiers’ “physical, cognitive, perceptive and psychological capacities,” including suppressing the sensation of pain, improving their cognitive abilities via computer links, enhancing their perception through night and Ir vision and strengthening their mental defences against torture.

Washington — On a typical morning, I, an atypically voracious consumer of news, will read several newspapers, devour much of Apple News, spend unhealthy amounts of time scanning Twitter, and monitor trending political stories on sites such as Memeorandum and Political Wire. By 9 or 10 in the morning, I feel confident that I’ve got my finger on the pulse of U.S. news.
On the morning after Tuesday’s presidential debate, I did none of this. I had tried to tune out the actual debate the night before, and did my...

Hackers from three countries — Russia, China, and Iran — are attempting to infiltrate campaign staffers, think tanks and consultants in order to influence the U.S. presidential election, according to Microsoft.
The software company shared a blog post saying that Microsoft detected cyberattacks “targeting people and organizations involved in the upcoming presidential election.” Those attacks came from three separate groups operating from three countries, wrote Tom Burt, corporate vice president of customer security and trust.

President Donald Trump offered congratulations and condolences in his tweetstorms over the last 24 hours. On the one hand, he saluted Joe Biden’s South Carolina primary victory. On the other, he shed some crocodile tears over the fates of billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, who fared less well.
The Commander-in-Tweet has the luxury of sitting on the sidelines and observing the chaos of the Democratic primaries, where no clear frontrunners have emerged. He’s even looking ahead and musing whether the candidates who have or may drop out will support the party with donations, given their crash and burns. And he had some harsh words for “consultants” who are clearly the hogs at the trough when it comes to advice to the candidates.
The President did have one happy note, giving a shout-out to Sammy’s Mexican Grill in Phoenix. The proprietors have received backlash for supporting the President at a Feb.

With broadcast and cable networks carrying his speech live, President Donald Trump referred to the Russia investigation as “bullsh*t” as he held a victory lap “celebration” of his impeachment acquittal, telling supporters gathered in the East Room of the White House that he was the victim of a “witch hunt.”
“We first went through Russia, Russia, Russia. It was all bullsh*t,” he said of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Impeachment was about Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. On Wednesday, the Senate acquitted Trump of charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, falling far short of the two-thirds majority necessary to convict.
In his speech, Trump said that “we went through hell, unfairly, did nothing wrong, did nothing wrong.”
The speech was peak Trump, with more of the tone of a...
