WATCH: Jimmy Kimmel Plays Out Weird Gay Jail Sex Fantasies About Donald Trump.

Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel aired a confusing bit directed at former President Donald Trump on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday evening. The segment featured an attempted tongue-in-cheek examination of what life might be like for the former President were he to spend time behind bars.

Kimmel engaged a panel of ex-inmates for a discussion on what life is like in prison — discussing aspects of incarceration, like food, social media, and potential ‘romantic’ relationships. One ex-inmate suggested a “big Black man” may take Trump under his wing, with Kimmel responding: “So you’re saying racists can get along in certain situations, be they sexual.” The bizarre bit continued with the late-night host and panel of ex-inmates using action figures to enact a hypothetical scene of Trump’s life in jail.

The late-night host focused heavily on racial dynamics in prison as comedic material. Kimmel mused about which race-based gang Trump might join, asking the ex-inmates: “What group would he be in? Is there an orange?”

An incredibly revolting moment centered on how the former President might gain access to a phone to post on social media. One of the ex-inmates lewdly suggested how Melania Trump might smuggle in a phone and power charger, telling Kimmel: “And there’s only one place to put it up, right?”

Biden’s Abandonment of Working Class, Embrace of Mass Immigration Is Sinking Him Among Black Male Voters.

Joe Biden’s embrace of far-left progressive policies is costing him black male voters.

Biden’s dwindling support amongst Black male voters is becoming a pressing issue for his re-election campaign. Unlike other demographics within the Democratic coalition, Black men comprise a critical voter base in crucial battleground states like  Georgia.

According to Roger House, professor emeritus of American Studies at Emerson College, Biden’s abandonment of working-class economics in favor of mass immigration and other progressive policy priorities is at the root of the collapse in support. House contends Biden’s policy agenda has been captured by the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris and the more progressive elements of the Congressional Black Caucus, who are out of touch with the needs of the working class.

“Biden’s reluctance to crusade for working-class men is mind-boggling,” House wrote in the Daily Beast, adding: “One suspects it stems from the priorities of a coterie of upper-class Black confidants, like Vice President Kamala Harris, who tend to keep the constituency at arm’s length.”

House says he believes Georgia’s upcoming presidential primary will be telling for Biden. He predicts the Democrat incumbent will experience a similar underperformance among Black men as the Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign did in 2022. Abrams, House contents, listened to consultants who convinced her that criminal justice reform was the vote-moving issue for Black men. Meanwhile, her opponent, Governor Brian Kemp, focused on “pocketbook” issues — drawing support from working-class white and Black men. Kemp easily won the election with 53.4 percent of the vote to Abrams’s 45.9 percent.

Biden Backs Down From Taking Executive Action To Secure US Southern Border.

President Joe Biden backed down on Monday from comments he made earlier this year suggesting he would take executive action to secure the US southern border. The Democrat President said he was looking to Congress for a legislative fix for the border crisis, telling the press aboard Air Force One that he would not take actions similar to those enacted by former President Donald Trump.

“I’m counting on the border action happening by itself, them passing it,” the President said. When confronted about the Senate’s inability to reach a bipartisan agreement on the border, Biden replied, “Well, they haven’t yet, they haven’t yet. I’m helping them.”

In response to plummeting approval polls, sources inside the Biden government suggested in late February that the President was considering the use of presidential 212f authority to limit the number of asylum seekers who could be released into the US. Biden, however, faced almost immediate pushback from progressives and open border advocates within the Democrat Party.

A coalition of over 150 progressive political groups sent a scathing letter to the Biden White House, opposing executive action to restrict the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border. The coalition accused Biden of emulating former President Trump, adding that any action by the Democrat President would “tarnish [his] administration irreparably.”

Almost immediately after his inauguration as President, Biden swiftly moved to reverse many of former President Trump’s executive orders relating to immigration policy and border security. The move by Biden sparked a rush of illegal immigrants towards the US southern border — in large part fueling a crisis that has arguably become the central issue in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump’s $92M Bond Approved in Carroll Defamation Case, Clearing Way For Appeal.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan approved former President Trump’s $92 million bond in the second E. Jean Carroll defamation case. In January, a New York jury found the former President guilty of defaming Carroll. He was subsequently ordered to pay an $83 million civil judgment.

Last week, Trump moved to appeal the ruling and submitted the $92 million bond as required under New York law. The bond will now serve as security, ensuring Trump will fulfill the payment obligations if his appeal fails. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will hear the appeal.

The disparity between Trump’s $92 million bond and Carroll’s awarded damages stems from the requirement for an appeal bond to equal 110% of the judgment value. The bond money was garnered from The Federal Insurance Company based in Chesapeake, Virginia.

The former President’s legal defense iterated that his statements about Carroll were formulated to preserve his reputation, protect his family, and uphold his Presidency. Trump has continued to deny the sexual assault allegations made by Carroll.

In a separate proceeding last year, a federal jury in New York ruled Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, though not for rape, leading to a $5 million payment imposed on Trump.

Georgia Judge DISMISSES Multiple Charges Against Trump, Including Central ‘Find the Votes’ Allegation.

Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee partially dismissed the charges against Donald Trump brought by embattled Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis, including the central claim he pressured the Secretary of State to “find” votes for him.

McAfee dismissed six of 13 counts against the former president. They “contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited” he wrote in his Wednesday order.

“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote.

“They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways,” he explained.

Crucially, McAfee has dismissed charges that Trump “unlawfully solicited, requested and importuned” the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to violate his oath of office when he told him “I need 11,000 votes” to change the outcome of the election.

The full context of the call is that Trump was unhappy with the conduct of the election, particularly in Fulton County — where Willis is now DA — and with officials letting fraud go unchecked. He wanted Raffensperger to take steps to uncover at least 11,000 fraudulent votes, believing this would be easy “because we won the state.”

“Why don’t you want to find this, Ryan? What’s wrong with you?” the then-President said to Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s General Counsel.

Willis also faces an imminent ruling on whether she is even allowed to continue prosecuting the case. She faces allegations she lied about her relationship with married lover Nathan Wade, whom she selected as her lead prosecutor, and has personally profited from the case.

Trump, Biden Clear Delegate Thresholds to Become Party Nominees.

Donald Trump is officially the presumptive GOP nominee for President, with victories in Georgia, Mississippi, and Washington taking him beyond the 1,215 delegates required to win the contest.

Before the pivotal Tuesday primaries, Trump had already amassed 1,077 delegates, leaving 138 to go as 161 were up from grabs in primaries being held across Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington state.

Writing on Truth Social, the former president said it was a “great honor to be representing the Republican Party” the 2024 election, declaring the party “UNITED and STRONG,” and cognizant of the fact it is up against “the Worst, Most Incompetent, Corrupt, and Destructive President in the History of the United States.”

“Millions of people are invading our Country, many from prisons and mental institutions of other Countries. High Interest Rates and Inflation are choking our great middle class, and ALL, our Economy is bad, and our Stock Market is rising only because Polls are strongly indicating that we will WIN the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump explained.

“We are now, under Crooked Joe Biden, a Third World Nation, which uses the Injustice System to go after his political opponent,” he continued, urging supporters to “fear not,” as “we will not fail, we will take back our once great Country, put AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE.”

Joe Biden also passed the 1,968 required to secure the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, having faced no serious challengers despite an embarassingly large number of Democrats adopting an “uncommitted” stance.

RNC Hires Jeb, DeSantis Campaign Lawyer Who Attacked Trump — New ‘Lead Counsel.’

The Republican National Committee has hired Charlie Spies, a Jeb Bush and Ron DeSantis campaign lawyer who once called Donald Trump “thin skinned” as well as mocking the idea of a border wall. Spies is also known to be close to leading Mitch McConnell-world figures.

The Washington Post reported Monday night:

“One of the most experienced lawyers in GOP politics, Charlie Spies, who recently served as the architect of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s shuttered presidential effort, will take over as chief counsel.”

The National Pulse has independently confirmed the reporting, with Spies’s tweets also likely to rankle MAGA supporters:

Though perhaps a head-scratching hire, Spies comes with the staunch endorsement of Trump campaign co-Chairman Chris LaCivita, who “praised Spies as one of the party’s top campaign attorneys, who is well respected by donors for his fundraising innovations and actively involved in election litigation.”

Spies is, in fact, notorious for his aggressive tactics, once deploying them against Trump himself in a scathing 2016 letter currently being circulated in Republican world.

“If your client is so thin-skinned that he cannot handle his critics’ presentation of his own public statements, policies and record to the voting public, and if such communications hurts his feelings, he is welcome to purchase airtime to defend his record. After all, a wall can be built around many things, but not around the First Amendment,” Spies wrote of Trump in 2016.

Spies then demanded the Federal Election Commission investigate Trump and his companies. The news comes amidst a shake up at the RNC that sees former One America News host Christina Bobb take an election oversight role, as well as Trump’s daughter in law Lara Trump assume the co-chairman position alongside Michael Whatley.

KASSAM: Jan 6 2025 Could See Capitol Hill Carnage Like Never Before, Here’s Why…

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, warned the Democrats and their enablers have every intention of unleashing “carnage” on January 6, 2025, if Donald Trump wins reelection but they retain power in Congress.

“The Democrats… I’m telling you, this is the phrase they’re going to use: ‘The last day to save democracy will be January 6th, 2025,’” Kassam said on War Room, explaining how the stage will be set for a “constitutional crisis.”

“That is how they’ll do it. They will mobilize every single thing they have, they’ll have more people on Capitol Hill than January 6th, 2021, and you mark my words, this is what they’re building up to: a real confrontation, a battle for Capitol Hill,” Kassam explained.

He pointed out that “what they claim January 6th was, they think that’s actually a pretty good idea,” and we know this because “in 2016, they objected to the results, they were the ones standing up in the Congress and saying, excuse me, objection, we’re not trying to have [Donald Trump] seated as President of the United States.”

“So they’re just running that playbook again, but they’ve decided, hey, we’re going to run full pelt towards it this time, we’re going to run full pelt towards the objections system, full pelt towards decertifying the election, throw this country into a constitutional crisis, and let it play out as it will,” he added.

Kassam warned War Room listeners that “if you allow them, ladies and gentlemen, to allow that to play out, [by] giving Democrats control of Congress, you will see a carnage in this country… like you’ve never seen before.”

RFK Rips Trump Over COVID Vaccines.

Democrat primary candidate turned independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized Donald Trump for comments he made during Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, saying the former president “clearly hasn’t learned from his COVID-era mistakes.”

“The Pandemic no longer controls our lives. The VACCINES that saved us from COVID are now being used to help beat cancer—turning setback into comeback. YOU’RE WELCOME JOE. NINE-MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU,” Trump wrote on Truth Social during Biden’s address.

“[Trump] fails to recognize how ineffective his warp speed vaccine is as the ninth shot is being recommended to seniors. Even more troubling is the documented harm being caused by the shot to so many innocent children and adults who are suffering myocarditis, pericarditis, and brain inflammation,” RFK Jr. wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“Instead of bragging about its speedy approval, we should be honestly and transparently debating the abundant evidence that this vaccine may have caused more harm than good,” he added.

A study of 99 million people who took COVID-19 vaccines, published by the Global Vaccine Data Network in the journal Vaccine, linked the jabs to blood, heart, and neurological conditions. Studies have also linked the jabs to eyeball clots, declines in sperm, and “autism-like” symptoms, among other issues.

E. Jean Carroll Lawyer Threatens ANOTHER Trump Lawsuit.

Roberta A. Kaplan, the legal counsel for E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case against former President Donald Trump, has hinted at the possibility of another lawsuit.

“The statute of limitations for defamation in most jurisdictions is between one and three years,” Kaplan said in a statement Monday morning. “As we said after the last jury verdict, we continue to monitor every statement that Donald Trump makes about our client.”

Trump, in a CNBC interview on Monday, referred to Carroll’s accusation as “false” and expressed optimism for a victorious appeal. The former president also claimed he was unfamiliar with Carroll until the issuance of a lawsuit. He described his initial reaction to the lawsuit as one of disbelief.

Last week, Trump posted a bond exceeding $90 million in order to appeal the case. Carroll’s accusations, published in a 2019 article, claimed that Trump sexually assaulted her. However, she was unable to provide comprehensive details about the incident and repeatedly changed parts of her story.

In February, another lawyer for Carroll said she was looking to sue Trump for a third time.
