Ronna McDaniel Works for MSNBC Now. Seriously…

Former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has signed a deal to appear as a political commentator on NBC and MSNBC news programs. McDaniel resigned as chairwoman of the Republican Party earlier this month after she faced mounting criticism over questionable expenditures and lackluster fundraising. North Carolina Republican chairman Michael Whatley and former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who will serve as co-chairs, have replaced McDaniel.

NBC and MSNBC are billing the hire of McDaniel as the addition of a critical conservative voice who will represent the supporters and views of former President Donald Trump. “It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” said NBC news editor Carrie Budoff Brown in a memo to staff. She added that Ronna McDaniel will provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.”

MSNBC RONNA.

McDaniel will also appear on MSNBC, providing insights into the 2024 presidential election. The leftwing news network has become the hub for anti-Trump voices in the corporate media. MSNBC’s on-air talent has a long history of making absurd claims and pushing pro-Democrat propaganda.

In mid-March, MSNBC host Joy Reid accused conservative lawmakers of “demagoguing” over the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly by Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra. Reid added that “migrant crime is negligible,” so the legislation — in her opinion — isn’t needed at all.

‘AKIN TO DEFEATING HITLER.’

Mike Barnicle, a seemingly immovable fixture on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, has compared the efforts to defeat Donald Trump to World War II and the fight of American GIs against Adolf Hitler. Other MSNBC guests have backed restricting First Amendment rights, smeared Christians, and attacked rural Americans as ‘cultists.’

The move by McDaniel marks the latest attempt by a Republican Party official to cash in on a media contract. Speculation continues to mount that Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) is retiring mid-term from Congress to pursue a contributor contract with a major corporate news network that some believe is CNN.

Judge Engoron Gives ‘Independent Monitor’ Greater Control Over Trump Org.

The Trump Organization will now face increased scrutiny from former federal judge Barbara S. Jones following a court order on Thursday related to alleged bank fraud committed by former President Donald Trump. Jones has been monitoring the Trump family’s New York real estate empire for over a year. New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron instituted the enhanced monitorship when he ordered the former President to pay the shocking sum of $464 million in February after finding him culpable for alleged civil fraud.

Since November 2022, the Trump Organization has been mandated to inform Jones of any capital shifts of more than $5 million or substantial business engagement. Judge Engoron’s new order permits Jones to take additional measures to ensure the Trump Organization doesn’t involve itself in suspect business practices. Jones now has the authority to review the company’s “day-to-day operations,” accounting records, and internal communications. Additionally, Jones may hire outside resources as needed, with the cost being borne by the Trump Organization. Engoron described the new order as “a productive and enhanced monitorship.”

In February of this year, Judge Engoron ruled that Trump reportedly inflated the value of his assets in a bid to make additional financial benefits available to his company through loans and insurance policies. The left-wing judge made several determinations regarding Trump’s property holdings, which have drawn vocal criticism from legal and real estate experts. The most egregious was his ruling that the former President’s private Palm Beach, Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, was worth only $18 million.

Eurosceptic Non-Profit Launches.

Former Trump-admin officials Matt Mowers and Joe Grogan are establishing a non-profit called the EU-US Forum. Their mission is to expose what they term as threatening policies from Europe that are “infiltrating” their way into American governance, including mass immigration and the censorship of political speech.

As a former senior White House advisor at the State Department, Mowers says he is all too familiar with the impacts of such ideologies. “Thanks to the European Union’s left-wing dangerous agenda, Europe has become a hotbed for illegal immigration, the home to mass censorship of free speech, and a case study for the failures of socialism,” he said in a statement.

Together with Grogan, the former director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, the duo says their group aims to combat the spread of socialist policies — like electric vehicle mandates, universal healthcare, and the suppression of free speech — from the European Union into the United States. Their initiative will center around five key policy areas: business and corporate taxation, environmental regulation and policy, meritocracy, political censorship, and immigration policy.

According to Mowers, Europe has turned into a hub for illegal immigration and free speech censorship due to the EU’s left-leaning agenda. He stresses the EU-US Forum’s commitment to resisting “the radical policies originating in Brussels” from gaining traction among American voters.

The EU-US Forum’s policy initiatives reflect a more Eurosceptic stance that was dominant during former President Donald Trump’s first term in office. Meanwhile, the Biden government has undertaken efforts to strengthen ties with the European Union.

REVEALED: MeidasTouch Host Linked to Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith.

Karen Friedman Agnifilo, of the MeidasTouch network behind the “bloodbath” hoax, worked for five years with Jack Smith, the special prosecutor attempting to convict Donald Trump over January 6 and the alleged mishandling of classified documents, The National Pulse can reveal.

Agnifilo, who hosts a MeidasTouch podcast alongside network founder Ben Meiselas, was approached by the press when Smith was appointed to go after Trump by Joe Biden’s Justice Department. When asked for comment on her time working with him as an assistant district attorney in New York, she said: “He was someone you could rely on. Some people are always too busy, or always too important, or smarter than anybody else. He was humble, helpful, smart. He wasn’t a gunslinger. But he wasn’t afraid to go.”

“Some people just can’t pull the trigger. They get really scared. Jack wasn’t,” she added.

Agnifilo has used her MeidasTouch platform to push for her old friend to take a more aggressive line on Trump, whom she denigrates as the “orange Bully-in-Chief.”

She praised Smith for asking a judge to gag the former president. “It’s about time someone is finally trying to put an end to this dangerous rhetoric,” she said. “And, if [Trump] violates this order he should be put in jail,” she added.

Agnifilo is also a CNN contributor and hosts a show called “LegalAF” for the MeidasTouch network, which has been supported by E. Jean Carroll and Nikki Haley funder Reid Hoffman.

DATA: Trump Surging With Women and Minorities. Here’s Why…

Former President Donald Trump has said that polling shows “numbers we’ve never seen” in terms of support from women and minority voters.

In an interview with Breitbart News, Trump credited this surge to concerns about “Safety and security,” which “more than anything else” are driving voters to the Trump camp as voters “don’t feel safe” with “lunatic” Joe Biden in office.

“They don’t feel safe with this lunatic,” Trump said. “He’s a terrible president. He’s the worst president in history. He’s the most incompetent and most corrupt president we’ve ever had,” Trump continued. “He’s willing to weaponize the Justice Department to go after his opponent. Nobody ever thought that was ever going to be happening in our country. It happens in a lot of countries in the third world, banana republics. But nobody ever thought they’d see that. But above all, I believe they want security.”

Public polls show a significant shift in support among women and black and Hispanic voters. New York Times polling indicates even support between Trump and Biden among women voters, with Trump effectively bridging the 11-point advantage Biden had in the 2020 election.

With Hispanic voters, Trump’s position is looking even stronger. The Economist recently highlighted Biden’s diminishing support in the Hispanic community, with current polling suggesting Trump is set for further gains. For Black voters, Trump’s support has grown significantly from eight percent of the black vote in 2016 to current polling projecting a 17 percent preference for Trump over Biden.

Gaetz & Vance Heap Praise on Biden Appointee!? Here’s Why…

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) chairwoman Lina Khan is one of the few appointees in the Biden government to draw praise from across the political aisle. Khan’s aggressive approach to anti-trust action and her ongoing battle for consumer privacy against data brokers has earned her praise from a handful of House and Senate Republicans.

“I hope her work continues in the Trump administration,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently told NOTUS in an interview. He added: “Her work against data brokers has been very important. Her work against some of the consolidated market power that hurts consumers has really inspired me.”

The populist wing of the Republican Party in Congress — some of former President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters — sees an ally in Khan. As chairwoman of the FTC, Khan has been most active in fighting against consolidation of corporate power — especially in the technology industry. It is this battle against ‘BigTech’ that has earned Khan most of her accolades from the political right.

“I probably am one of the few Republicans who thinks Lina Khan is doing a good job,” said Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) before continuing: “I think she has some justifiable concerns about corporate concentration.”

Another Senate ally of former President Donald Trump, Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), has even found common ground with the arch-progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on anti-trust efforts — agreeing with the former Democrat presidential candidate that free markets need a degree of policing to truly be competitive.

“She’s willing to take on some of those industries that look like nobody can take them on and make them more competitive,” Braun said of Khan’s leadership at the FTC, warning critics of the chairwoman: “If you don’t make the effort, you’re promoting oligopolies and monopolies.”

Khan’s aggressive pursuit of anti-trust action against corporate consolidation in tech and other industries has drawn the ire of neo-liberal and globalist organizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, the Jeff Yass-funded Club for Growth, and the network groups funded by Charles Koch. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has also been a vocal critic of Khan’s FTC tenure. According to Cruz, Khan is “extreme and radical.” However, most of the Texas Republican’s criticism has been regarding her management style — rather than the substance of her policy and legal actions against Big Tech and other industries controlled by business cartels and monopolies.

“A lot of these people that go work in government positions that interface with big business, they want to create the virus for the sole reason of selling the antidote when they get out,” Gaetz said before concluding: “She’s not; she’s actually doing good work.”

Michael Cohen Won’t Be Sanctioned For Using AI To Invent Fake Legal Cases.

A federal judge decided Wednesday that disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen would not face sanctions for submitting an AI-generated legal filing that cited fake cases. Cohen’s ‘fake case’ filing was submitted during his prosecution for tax and campaign finance violations. He is currently under supervised release after pleading guilty to the charges in 2018 and serving one year in prison.

Judge Jesse Furman called Cohen’s use of AI — and the subsequent fake case citations — “embarrassing and certainly negligent.”

However, the U.S. District Court judge added that he believes Cohen’s excuse that he did not fully understand how AI language models function and that the fake case citations were not in “bad faith.” Cohen, once a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, used Google’s AI chatbot, formerly called ‘Bard,’ to generate the filing.

“The Court has no basis to question Cohen’s representation that he believed the cases to be real,” the judge wrote in his decision.

While Cohen avoided additional sanctions over the fake case citations, Judge Furman rejected the disgraced attorney’s plea to terminate his supervised release early. Cohen argued for the termination based on his testimony against Trump during the civil fraud prosecution brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The federal judge described Cohen’s attempt to use the  testimony as a means to end the conditions of his release as “perverse.” Further, the judge underscored that Cohen’s supervised release was to serve as further deterrence as the disgraced attorney has continued to evade responsibility for his crimes.

Biden Camp Has 2X More Cash on Hand Than Team Trump.

Joe Biden already has more than twice as much cash on hand as Donald Trump heading into the presidential election, as big capital lines up behind the Democrat and lawfare campaigns drain the coffers of the America First leader.

The Biden camp has boasted of bringing in $53 million in February alone, taking its war chest to $155 million.

Over the same month, the Trump team raised $39.3 million across its official campaign committee, the Republican National Committee, a supportive super PAC, and his leadership PAC, Save America.

An astonishing $53 million in legal expenses has been sapped from Trump’s war chest since early 2023, as the Biden-controlled Justice Department and various Democrat law officers and activists target him in a sweeping lawfare campaign.

Biden outspent Trump substantially in 2020, with the Democrat and his allies accounting for around 61 percent of the $2.74 billion spent on the presidential contest.

Hillary Clinton also outspent Trump in 2016 by an even greater margin of almost two-to-one — but still ended up losing by a 77-vote landslide in the Electoral College.

Truth Social Stock Climbs as Trump Backers Buy to Aid President.

Stock in Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform has soared, valuing the company at around $6 billion as supporters rally behind the firm, expected to go public in the coming days.

Trump launched Truth Social as an alternative to Twitter — now X — after the platform banned him during his final days as President in a coordinated action with other Big Tech platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

Now, with Democrat judges including Arthur Engoron and Lewis Kaplan hammering Tump with hundreds of millions of dollars in payouts and penalties as part of an ongoing lawfare campaign, the former president may be in line for a $3.5 billion cut when Truth goes public, as early as next week.

“There seems to be an unwritten agreement between tens of thousands of traders that the more political momentum Trump has, the more the stock should trade higher,” commented fund manager Julian Klymochko.

Trump continues to lead Joe Biden in America’s key “swing states” ahead of the November elections.

Billionaire Nelson Peltz Says Biden’s ‘Mental Condition Is Really Scary.’

Nelson Peltz, noted billionaire Disney investor, intends to vote for former President Donald Trump due to his concerns that Biden’s “mental condition is really scary.”

Peltz, who is the same age as Biden, told the Financial Times that his concerns about Biden’s mental fitness outweighed his reservations about Trump.

“I don’t know what [Biden] knows and I don’t know what he doesn’t know,” said Peltz. “I don’t know who’s speaking for him and that’s troubling.” Peltz also said that the “litany of criminal charges against [Trump] — including cases relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election” — is obviously a “miscarriage of justice.”

Peltz also cited concerns about Biden’s border crisis as driving his support for Trump. “We can’t go on letting everyone into this country . . . We have an immigration problem — it’s not a Republican or Democrat problem,” Peltz said. “I want some boundaries put on it so we know at least who we’re bringing in.”

Known for his disputes with Disney CEO Bob Iger, Peltz has recently made news headlines. His firm, Trian Fund Management, has challenged Disney’s direction under Iger and his predecessor, Bob Chapek. Peltz is exerting efforts to gain more control over Disney through a proxy war, in preparation for the upcoming annual shareholders meeting scheduled for April 3.

Under Iger’s leadership, Disney, Peltz points out, has maintained an emphasis on woke, far-left messaging. The entertainment company has witnessed a series of low-performing releases and financial losses, compounded by the substantial subscription rate increases for their viewership.
