WATCH: Trump Blasts Joe’s Valley Forge Speech as ‘Pathetic Fearmongering’.

Former President Donald Trump fired back at President Joe Biden on Friday, blasting his Democrat opponent’s Valley Forge speech as “pathetic fearmongering,” noting how Democrats refuse to deal with the policy issues plaguing America, instead focusing on smears and lies of Republicans and patriots.

Addressing a packed crowd in Sioux Center, Iowa, Trump noted how Biden has resorted to petty and personal attacks – like comparing the former President to Adolf Hitler — because Biden’s own record has been “an unbroken streak of weakness, incompetence, corruption, and failure.” 

Crooked Joe is staging his pathetic fear-mongering campaign event in Pennsylvania today… because he doesn’t want to talk about the border, or inflation, or Afghanistan, or all the chaos he has caused throughout the world,” Trump said, adding, “The only reason Biden is at Valley Forge abusing George Washington’s legacy to slander 75 million Americans is that he knows he can’t show his face at the Southwest Border, or in East Palestine, Ohio, or at the autoworkers’ factories in Michigan where he is destroying hundreds of thousands of jobs.”

The Biden government has continually dodged questions about the growing border crisis and concerns average Americans have over a sluggish economy. Throughout last year, Biden attempted to spin the economy as a positive, branding it “Bidenomics.” By the end of the year, however, Biden and his re-election campaign appear to have dumped the “Bidenomics” theme after it drew little enthusiasm from voters. Since then, the President has primarily resorted to distortions and personal attacks when addressing his opponent.

Crooked Joe cannot talk about a single issue that matters to hardworking Americans — because he has failed you and betrayed you on every single one,” Trump said, addressing the lack of substance in Biden’s Valley Forge speech. He continued: “Biden and the Radical Left Democrats lie about us because they know that Americans can’t stand the truth about THEM.”

J6 Protestors Were Not Patriotic, DeSantis Tells CNN.

Ron DeSantis has further alienated the America First conservatives he hoped to win over from Donald Trump’s base by disparaging January 6th protestors, denying they were motivated by patriotism.

Speaking at a CNN town hall, the Florida Governor was asked if “the January 6th insurrections display[ed] patriotism, as some of them claim they did” by an audience member.

“No, of course not,” DeSantis replied immediately. “I mean, that was not a good day for the country. I think the media has taken that, and I think the left has taken that, and really tried to politicize it, but it was not a good day for the country,” he added.

Claims Jan 6 was an “insurrection” have been disputed by even the likes of anti-Trump former CIA analyst Martin Gurri, who noted last year that there is “no such thing as an unarmed insurgency,” yet the only death on Jan 6 was Ashli Babbitt – “a young woman who was shot by a Capitol policeman [while] unarmed, as was the rest of the trespassing mob.”

DeSantis has been parroting the Democrat line on January 6th for some time, alleging Trump “was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on,” and claiming he “should have come out more forcefully” against the protests.

CNN Analyst Wants to Put Trump in Alcatraz, Charge Tourists $20 for Selfies.

Playboy magazine White House correspondent and CNN political analyst Brian Karem took his political bias against Donald Trump to a whole new level while appearing on a podcast hosted by the former Republican President’s niece, Mary Trump. The exchange started off relatively normal, with Karem explaining why he didn’t think Trump would actually be the Republican nominee or on the ballot. However, Karem’s prediction quickly escalated into the realm of creepy fantasy.

“I’m also convinced that at some point next year, since the federal government already controls Alcatraz, they’ll just reclaim it as a prison and there will be only one prisoner held there and he’ll have a two-hole golf course if he wants his Secret service entourage,” Karem said during the interview, adding: “And the only condition is that twice a day for two hours, he has to stand in a cage in an orange suit while tourists pay 20 bucks to have their picture taken with him. I’m holding onto that.”

Despite being a critic of her uncle herself, Mary Trump questioned Karem’s judgement, responding: “Pretty sure that last part is unethical and probably illegal.”

Karem, an outspoken critic of Trump, notably instigated a verbal altercation with former Trump White House aide Sebastian Gorka after a Rose Garden press conference in 2019. Following the incident, the White House stripped the Playboy reporter and CNN analyst of his press credentials. Karem sued the Trump administration in federal court, ultimately prevailing and having his White House access restored.

Trump Says He’ll Testify in New E Jean Carroll Case.

Donald Trump has said he intends to testify at a second defamation hearing concerning E. Jean Carroll, currently set to commence on January 16th. The 80-year-old advice columnist alleges the former president raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City in either 1995 or 1996.

Trump says he regrets not having testified during the first hearing, with jurors in the civil case reaching a contradictory decision that he had not raped Carroll, as she alleged, but that he had sexually abused her. She was awarded $5 million in damages, despite the fact she could not even remember the year of the alleged incident and could provide no physical evidence that it actually took place.

Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Bill Clinton appointee, bizarrely ruled that Trump had raped the writer, despite the jury finding he had not.

“I’m going to testify,” Trump told The New York Times, explaining he had been talked out of doing so at the first hearing.

A spokeswoman for Carroll said she “looks forward to presenting her case to a jury whose only job will be to determine how much in additional damages she will be entitled to receive.”

Carroll has made many accusations of rape and sexual assault over the years, also claiming to have been attacked by a boy aged seven or eight when she was also a child, a babysitter’s boyfriend, a camp counselor, a dentist, a college date whose name she could not remember, an unnamed former boss, and CBS chief executive Les Moonves.

She never reported any of her alleged attackers to the police, instead taking to CNN to describe how rape is “sexy”.

Trump Meets With Teamsters Boss Sean O’Brien Ahead of Rank-and-File Member Event.

Former President Donald Trump will meet with rank-and-file members of the Teamsters Union along with Teamsters President Sean O’Brien and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman later this January. The move marks a historic shift in relations between the Republican Party and organized labor.

While the Teamsters have endorsed Republican presidential candidates in the past – notably Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush – relations between the union and Republicans have cooled since the mid-1990s. During the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, union leaders overwhelmingly backed Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, respectively. Rank-and-file union members however, shifted to the political right in both election cycles – drawn to Donald Trump’s opposition to free trade and mass immigration, as well as his support for re-shoring American jobs and restoring the country’s manufacturing sector.

“Had a great dinner tonight with Sean O’Brien, General President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Looking forward to more discussions about important issues in the near future!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The political shift amongst rank-and-file Teamsters resulted in labor leaders launching a concerted campaign against Trump in 2020 in the hopes they could win back their membership for the Democrats. Despite their efforts, a majority of union households still voted for Trump in Ohio and Pennsylvania in 2020.

In light of their rank-and-file members gravitating towards Trump again in 2024, the Teamsters leadership appears at least open to Trump’s candidacy. On Wednesday, Teamsters President O’Brien met privately with former President Trump in what the union said was “an in-depth and productive discussion on worker issues.”

“There are serious issues that need to addressed to improve the lives of working people across the country, and the Teamsters Union is making sure our members’ voices are heard as we head into a critical election year,” O’Brien said in a statement, adding: “We thank the former President for taking time during this private meeting to listen to the Teamsters’ top priorities. And we are eager to bring together the rank-and-file for an important and necessary roundtable with President Trump this month.”

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.

UK Globalists Call for ‘Secret Plan’ Crisis Talks to Thwart Trump’s 2nd Term.

Former UK diplomats Simon McDonald, John Kerr, and Sir Peter Westmacott are calling for the British government to draw up secret plans to thwart Donald Trump’s foreign policy in the event he is once again elected to the U.S. presidency. The three diplomats are concerned that Trump, a vocal critic of NATO and needless foreign entanglements, is likely to significant diminish U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war.

The trio “said preparations to help the UK cope if Mr Trump were to end US support for Ukraine and withdraw from Nato must be drawn up in secret to avoid giving him a campaign boost.”

Despite the current legal challenges Trump is facing, the three diplomats believe his reelection is likely.

“There’s not much point in saying, ‘We know he’s a monster, he’s unprincipled, he’s a misogynistic fraud and liar and destroyer of constitutions.’ The reality is: he will be there. We have to find ways of engaging with the US if Trump is elected,” said Westmacott, who served as British ambassador to the U.S. from 2012 to 2016.

McDonald, former head of Britain’s Foreign Office and the current Senior Member of the House of Lords, emphasized the need for readiness, stating the implications of a second Trump tenure would be ‘massive’ for the UK. John Kerr, a crossbench peer who served as Britain’s ambassador to Washington from 1995 to 1997, said Britain and other allies should “get together discreetly” to plan for an impending Trump presidency.

The comments of the former diplomats come as President Joe Biden’s popularity continues to plummet, with a recent poll finding that Black, Hispanic, and young voters are abandoning support for the Democratic president in droves.

WATCH: Haley Appears to Acknowledge Defeat In Iowa, Calls for New Hampshire to ‘Correct It.’

GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley appeared to acknowledge her impending defeat in the Iowa Caucus during a rally in New to New Hampshire on Wednesday, with just two weeks left before the state’s critical primary.

The former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador told supporters, “You know how to do this. You know Iowa starts it. You know that you correct it, and then my sweet state of South Carolina brings it home.” The statement is an implicit admission that Haley expects to perform poorly in the Iowa Caucus on January 15.

Haley has been steadily gaining traction in New Hampshire, with a poll average of over 25 percent as of January 3. The rivalry between Haley and Trump has also escalated along with Haley’s rising poll numbers, as the former president’s campaign launched its first advertisement criticizing Haley in New Hampshire earlier this week. Haley still trails Trump by nearly 20 points in the Granite State.

‘No Trump Connection’ in Colorado Supreme Court Shooting, Say Prosecutors.

The arrest of a Colorado man for firing gunshots inside the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center – which houses the Colorado Supreme Court – appears to be unrelated to the recent ruling to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot. Brandon Olsen, 44, is being held by Denver Police after he allegedly fled the scene of an accident and entered the judicial building after shooting out a window.

Once inside, Olson accosted an unarmed security guard and took his keys. He continued to fire shots while inside and ignited a fire in a stairwell. Part of the building suffered extensive damage from the fire.

Two-hours after fleeing the accident and entering the judicial center, Olson was arrested by the Denver Police. He is scheduled to appear before a judge this morning and will face three felony charges –  first-degree arson, aggravated robbery, and second-degree burglary.

According to authorities, Olson was cooperative with police interviewers. They believe the state supreme court’s Trump ruling and the break-in are unrelated. The building was nearly empty at the time of the incident, with only two individuals inside. Aside from the security guard, the other individual – a woman working in her office – told police she did not hear Olson fire a weapon and had left the building when the fire alarm sounded.

Two weeks ago, the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified former President Trump from the state’s primary ballot after ruling he had violated the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. The decision is expected to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
