Anti-Trump Jan 6 Capitol Cop Announces Congressional Run.

Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn has announced his decision to run for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, which encompasses the state capitol Annapolis, Ellicott City, Lake Shore, Naval Academy, and more.

Dunn – who was on duty during the January 6 riots and cried during his testimony – has been an outspoken and public proponent of the “insurrection” hoax as part of the Democrats’ House January 6 Select Committee.

“Obviously, my experiences on January 6 I saw firsthand democracy under attack,” Dunn said in an interview with CNN. “It’s no exaggeration to say we are one election away from the extinction of our democracy as we know it right now,” Dunn asserted.

Dunn rose to prominence following a dramatic testimony given to the January 6 committee. “Capitol Police officers and Metropolitan Police officers, MPD, were engaged in desperate hand-to-hand fighting with rioters across the west lawn,” Dunn said. “I witnessed the rioters using all kinds of weapons against officers, including flagpoles, metal bike racks that they had torn apart, and various kinds of projectiles. Many were screaming, and many were blinded and coughing from chemical irritants being sprayed in their faces,” he claimed.

Dunn is seeking to replace Democrat John Sarbanes, who has announced his decision not to seek re-election in 2024.

Top Haley Advisor is ‘Israel Fanatic, Totally Opposed to Peace’, Was Fired by Trump.

Nikki Haley’s top advisor, Jon Lerner, is a neocon “fanatic” whose consultancy firm once received roughly $15 million per election cycle from the globalist Club for Growth – dubbed the “Club for No Growth” or the “Club for China Growth” by Donald Trump – before he took up a position as Haley’s deputy at the United Nations (UN) during the Trump administration.

A profile of Lerner quoted a Gulf States Institute scholar as describing him as a “complete fanatic, totally opposed to peace,” who would be “a flag-waving fan of Hamas” if he had been born an Arab.

While serving as Haley’s deputy, Lerner was tapped by then-Vice President Mike Pence to become his national security advisor, too – until President Trump caught wind of his background.

Discovering Lerner was heavily involved in producing vicious attack ads against him for the Club for Growth during the Republican primaries, the President blocked Lerner’s appointment in 2018. It was an early warning of Pence’s then-undiscovered disloyalty, with Trump said to have wondered aloud: “Why would Mike do that?”

While Trump adopted a strong pro-Israel position as President – a fact acknowledged by Lerner, who wrote in 2019 that Haley “would not have been able” to deliver anything for Israel at at UN without his steadfast support – Haley has adopted a foreign policy stance which appears to put Israeli interests ahead of American interests, repeatedly making the bizarre claim that Israel has “never” needed America but “America needs Israel” on the campaign trail.

VIDEO: ‘We’re Not in a Classroom!’ – RINO Triggered by Border Security Question from Reporter.

U.S. Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) snapped at a reporter who asked lawmakers to raise their hand if they supported shutting down the government unless President Joe Biden shuts down the border. The incident took place at a press conference held by House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican lawmakers at the U.S.-Mexico border earlier today.

“We’re not going to do a show of hands,” Fallon can be heard saying – interrupting House Speaker Mike Johnson as he fielded the question from Real America Voice’s Ben Bergquam. The Texas Republican continued: “We’re not in a classroom. We’re not doing a show of hands.”

The moment was additionally bizarre given that Bergquam and other reporters are routinely asked to raise their hands to aks questions of politicians, despite not being “in a classroom,” and that the question should be relatively easy to answer for a so-called conservative concerned with U.S. border security.

Instead, Speaker Johnson indicated the House would push forward with passing individual appropriations bills. He added that House Republicans were able to head off a Christmas omnibus bill out of the Senate. The House passed a laddered continuing resolution, meaning Congress has until January 19th to fund part of the federal government – and February 2nd to fund the remaining departments.

More than 60 House Republican lawmakers traveled to the U.S. southern border on Wednesday to see first-hand the results of President Biden’s open border policies. Several illegal immigrants were caught on video crossing into the United States just feet away from Speaker Johnson and his Congressional delegation as they prepared for a press conference yesterday.

Dems Drop 156-Page Report Bemoaning Foreign Dignitaries Ordering Room Service at Trump Hotels.

House Democrats have released a report attacking Donald Trump over the fact foreign states and state-owned businesses have occasionally purchased services from his hotel and real estate empire, comparing this to the shady business dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

The White House for Sale: How Princes, Prime Ministers, and Premiers Paid Off President Trump report lacks anything resembling a smoking gun, with the Trump Organization’s income from foreign sources consisting largely of foreign dignitaries and government-linked businesses renting office space or hotel rooms, and spending small amounts of money on conveniences like room service.

The Democrat report flagged “spending by foreign governments and entities” of as little as $590 dollars – attributed to European Union member-state Cyprus, at the Trump International Hotel in D.C. – indicating some desperation in their hunt for illicit funding sources.

The Democrats even flagged spending at Trump hotels by NATO allies Latvia and Hungary, worth $2,739 and $ 1,011, respectively.

“Former President Trump has legitimate businesses, but the Bidens do not,” commented Representative James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee which has been investigating the President and his family.

Eric Trump said the idea his father had somehow benefited from financial links to China, in particular, was “insane”.

“There is no President in United States history who was tougher on China than Donald Trump,” he pointed out.

Eric also noted that The Trump Organization made a voluntary annual payment to the Treasury, gifting profits from certain hotel stays to the American people, and explained that some of the business arrangements the Democrat report took issue with long predate Trump’s presidency.

A Chinese bank renting space at Trump Tower, for example, was noted to have first signed its 20-year lease in 2008.

Lawyer Alina Habba Says Trump Concerned Over SCOTUS Verdict on Ballot Bans.

Alina Habba, a lawyer representing Donald Trump and advising the Save America PAC, says the 45th President has voiced concerns the Supreme Court may not rule in his favor over efforts to remove him from 2024 election ballots.

Responding to claims that Trump is concerned the court may want to look as though it is not biased in his favor, as he appointed three of its justices, Habba confirmed “that’s a concern that he’s voiced to me, he’s voiced to everybody publicly, not privately.”

“I can tell you that his concern is a valid one. You know, Republicans… get nervous, they unfortunately are sometimes shy[ing] away from being pro-Trump… they’re trying so hard to look neutral that sometimes they make the wrong call,” she said.

“I just encourage them to really look at the law and the Constitution; it’s very clean cut,” she added.

The all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court ruled narrowly that Trump should not be allowed to appear on the state’s GOP primary ballot, alleging he is an insurrectionist and disqualified from the presidency under the 14th Amendment.

The Secretary of State for Maine, anti-Trump partisan Shenna Bellows, has also removed the 45th President from ballot in her state.

Nikki Haley Campaign Hauls Whopping $24M in Q4 2023.

In a sign of financial momentum, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign reported raising $24 million during the fourth quarter of 2023, more than doubling the $11 million it raised in the third quarter.

The Haley campaign used the announcement to highlight its supposed grassroots support, noting that it received contributions from 180,000 donors across all three campaign committees in the past three months, including 83,900 new contributors. Furthermore, the campaign said that $16.25 million of the fourth quarter sum came through digital and mail grassroots efforts. With the Iowa caucuses fast approaching on January 15, the Haley campaign revealed it now has $14.5 million cash on hand to spend.

Haley currently leads her nearest competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in the New Hampshire primary, and is making a play to overtake him in the Iowa caucus vote. Both candidates trail far behind leading GOP candidate and former president Donald Trump, who polls suggest has the support of over 50 percent of voters in the Hawkeye State.

The exponential growth in Haley’s fundraising is surely impressive, but it still pales compared to the fundraising efforts of Donald Trump. While the Trump campaign has not yet released its fourth quarter fundraising numbers, it raised a staggering $45.5 million during the third quarter of 2023, and finished September 2023 with $37.5 million in its coffers.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Endorses Donald Trump.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, has formally endorsed former president Donald Trump for the presidential race of 2024. Scalise joins Speaker Mike Johnson and GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, making him the latest top-ranking Republican to offer his public support to Trump, who is widely anticipated to be the Republican nominee.

“I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2024, and I look forward to working with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate to fight for those families who are struggling under the weight of Biden’s failed policies,” Scalise wrote on X.

In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Scalise criticized the Biden government’s handling of the border crisis, the economy, and energy policy. Scalise highlighted the sharp rise in gas prices, difficulties in housing affordability, doubled mortgage rates, and record high inflation and interest rates, attributing all of these negative developments to the Biden regime’s mismanagement of the nation’s economy.

Scalise has also contrasted Biden’s strategies with Trump’s past leadership, asserting that American workers and families thrived during Trump’s previous term. His endorsement brings the tally of public support for Trump from sitting Republican House members to at least 95. This crucial endorsement comes during the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses on January 15 and the New Hampshire primary the following week.

Ex-CIA Man Hints at Intel Agency Interference in 2024 Election.

A Georgetown University professor and former CIA intelligence analyst, Dr. John Gentry, has warned that the politicization of the intelligence community and its focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are significant concerns. In his recently published book “Neutering the CIA: Why US Intelligence Versus Trump Has Long-Term Consequences”, Gentry claims these factors could lead to interference in the 2024 elections.

“My guess is that the the proverbial deep state within the intelligence community will reemerge because presumably a Republican candidate will again be seen as a threat to the internal policies that many intelligence people like,” said Gentry, who discussed the response to the Hunter Biden laptop story, falsely “debunked” by 51 former intelligence officials in a letter approved by the CIA. The approval of this letter was a clear political move intended to aid the Biden campaign, according to Gentry.

“I long have thought we are likely to again see former intelligence officers be politically active against Trump or whomever the Republican presidential candidate is next year, and I expect leaking to resume,” Gentry said in an interview with Fox News. “The activities of ‘formers’ have resumed already, a bit before I expected.”

Gentry also expressed concern over DEI policies in key intelligence agencies, including the CIA, arguing they detract from operational efficiency and promote a politically charged agenda. He points to the introduction of these policies under President Obama as significantly transforming the federal workforce. While Gentry admits internal political discussions were not as prevalent during his time in the CIA, agency sources say activism became commonplace under Obama. This shift, facilitated by figures like former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, has reportedly negatively impacted employee morale. Gentry says his hope is that his book will enlighten readers about the “significant political problem within the agencies.”

Trump Mulls Madison Square Garden Rally With NY In Play.

Former President Donald Trump raised the possibility of holding a rally at Madison Square Garden as a part of his strategy to leverage support in predominantly Democratic states, including New York. He stated, “I’m going to make a heavy play for New York, heavy play for New Jersey, heavy play for Virginia, heavy play for New Mexico, and a heavy play for a state that hasn’t been won in years, Minnesota. I may rent Madison Square Garden and that’s the belly of the beast, right?”

Trump’s comments come shortly after a poll revealed the 45th President is within 10 points of Joe Biden in the Empire State, and just. few weeks since he brought the house down at a packed Christmas gala at Cipriani, Wall Street, hosted by the New York Young Republican Club.

Trump revealed his intention to hold rallies and give speeches in those states. He implied that a rally at Madison Square Garden, known as the “belly of the beast,” would be a significant political move and a substantial investment of campaign resources.

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to work them as hard as I work Pennsylvania, where I’m doing very well,” he told Breitbart News, adding, “[b]ut we’re going to do these other states too, and it will be a heavy move.”

On the subject of potential support within New York, Trump highlighted the presence of reputed Republicans, including Representative Lee Zeldin (R-NY). He stated, “So, I believe we have a chance to win New York. I believe we have a chance to win New Jersey.”

Bannon: ‘Viper’ Haley Must Not Be VP, Will Try to Run Admin as Cheney-Style ‘Prime Minister’.

War Room host Steve Bannon warned on Monday that Nikki Haley is a “viper,” predicting a “big fight” between the Republican establishment and America First over whether Donald Trump should select her as his running mate.

“A big fight will take place in the spring; they’re going to try to force Nikki on the ticket, they’ll say Trump needs a woman… and she can bring together that 15 percent of Never Trumpers in the Republican Party,” the former White House Chief Strategist told commentator Jack Posobiec.

“We’re going to have to have that fight. If Nikki Haley is in this administration in any capacity, it will fail,” he warned.

“She’s a viper, and once she gets in there, she’ll try to run it as Prime Minister. She’ll try to be Dick Cheney… to Bush.”

If it does materialize, Bannon will have a powerful ally in this fight in the form of the 45th President’s eldest son, Don Jr.

“I wouldn’t have her on [the ticket], and I would go to great lengths to make sure that that doesn’t happen,” he said last month.

“Nikki Haley wants never-ending wars,” he continued, describing her as “a puppet of the establishment in Washington D.C.”

“By the way, all you’d get is her and team trying to destroy Donald Trump from within, forever,” he added.
