TRUMP’S Triumph Ignites Outrage: Just Stop OIL Strikes Back

TRUMP’S Triumph Ignites Outrage: Just Stop OIL Strikes Back

On Wednesday, Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, winning support from over 70 million Americans. Yet, not everyone was pleased. The far-left group Just Stop Oil showed their anger by splashing bright orange paint on the U.S. Embassy in London.

Just Stop Oil slammed corporate power and fossil fuel industries, saying they control major political parties and are the real winners of the election. They called Trump a “fake populist,” claiming he ignores what they see as vital — stopping oil and gas drilling. The group urged regular people to act since they believe no leaders will make needed changes.

Activist Joseph Aggarwal was detained by police after joining the protest. He voiced concerns about a lack of true democracy across Western nations, arguing voters get similar policies no matter which party wins, worsening living conditions and climate issues. Aggarwal accused Trump of using public frustration to help billionaires while ignoring urgent environmental problems.

TRUMP’S Triumph: Disillusioned Voters Reject Harris-Biden Agenda

Former President Donald Trump has made a comeback to the White House, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s nearly four-year term. Many voters, unhappy with America’s path, embraced Trump’s bold approach. AP VoteCast showed about 3 in 10 voters wanted a complete government overhaul.

Economic concerns were key in Trump’s victory, overshadowing issues like democracy and abortion protections favored by Harris’ supporters. Voters worried about the economy supported stronger immigration enforcement and believed Trump was better suited to tackle economic challenges. This sentiment was strong in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Even though he won the electoral college, some voters had reservations about Trump’s potential use of power. A notable number expressed concern over possible authoritarianism under his leadership. Yet more than 1 in 10 concerned voters still backed him despite these fears.

Inflation anxiety was a major concern nationwide as families felt their financial situations worsening since the last election cycle. The rising cost of living remained an urgent issue for many Americans struggling with higher prices on essentials like groceries and housing costs. These economic pressures greatly boosted Trump’s appeal among disenchanted voters seeking change.

ELECTION SHOCKER: Harris vs Trump Reveals Deep National Split

Voters for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showed starkly different priorities in Tuesday’s presidential election. This reflects a broader national divide on key issues facing the United States.

AP VoteCast surveyed over 115,000 voters nationwide, revealing that Harris supporters were primarily motivated by concerns about the fate of democracy. Her campaign’s messaging, labeling Trump as a fascist, seemed to resonate with her base.

Conversely, Trump’s supporters focused on immigration and inflation as their main concerns. Trump has consistently promised that tariffs would revive factory jobs and increased domestic oil production would lower prices across the economy.

TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him

TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him

CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, Anthony Salvanto, highlighted Donald Trump’s rising support among Hispanic neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Despite Trump’s past rhetoric, many Hispanics feel he isn’t targeting them negatively. This perception is shifting some Latino voters toward Trump.

A poll revealed that two-thirds of surveyed Latinos believe Trump wasn’t referring to them when discussing immigrants. Additionally, half of foreign-born Latinos shared this sentiment. These findings suggest a growing acceptance of Trump among Hispanic communities.

While Latinos predominantly lean Democrat, Trump’s messaging on the economy resonates with many in this demographic. His approach appears to offer a sense of belonging similar to that extended to white voters. This strategy could be pivotal for his future campaigns as he continues to engage with diverse voter groups.

SUPREME COURT Decision Shocks Virginia Voters: A WIN For Election Integrity

The SUPREME COURT’s conservative majority has backed Virginia’s voter registration purge. The state argues this move targets non-citizens trying to vote. This decision supports Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Republican goals, aiming to safeguard election integrity.

A Virginian affected by the purge called it “a very bad October surprise.” Despite living in Virginia her whole life, her registration was canceled. The court did not explain its ruling, which is typical in emergency appeals.

The three liberal justices dissented, showing ongoing tensions over voting rights and election integrity in America. Republicans believe such actions are crucial to prevent voter fraud and ensure fair elections.

SUPREME COURT Decision Sparks Fury: Virginia Voter Purge Backed

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority upheld Virginia’s voter registration purge on Wednesday. The state argues this action prevents non-citizens from voting. This decision aligns with Virginia’s Republican administration under Governor Glenn Youngkin.

A Virginian affected by the purge criticized it as “a very bad October surprise,” despite living in the state her entire life. The court’s ruling came over the dissent of its three liberal justices, highlighting a clear ideological divide.

The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for its decision, which is common in emergency appeals. This move underscores ongoing debates about voter registration and election integrity across the nation.

HOLLYWOOD’S Secret Political Agenda: Julia Roberts Backs Kamala Harris

HOLLYWOOD’S Secret Political Agenda: Julia Roberts Backs Kamala Harris

Julia Roberts stars in a new ad urging voters to support Kamala Harris, despite her Trump-supporting husband’s objections. The ad hints at secrecy in voting, with Roberts saying, “Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth.” This fits with Roberts’ active role in political events backing Democratic candidates.

Roberts attended a Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden where attendees like George Clooney raised concerns about Biden’s cognitive health. It’s unclear if Roberts noticed or ignored these issues during the event. Her involvement shows Hollywood’s sway over political narratives and their effect on public views.

In a chat with Oprah Winfrey and Kamala Harris, Roberts accidentally admitted that foreign opinions on U.S. leadership are negative under Biden and Harris. She noted that international friends express worry over America’s current state, hinting at global doubts about U.S. governance.

Roberts continues her advocacy by campaigning for Kamala Harris alongside Stacey Abrams in Georgia, even though polls show Donald Trump leading Harris by four points according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This suggests a tough road for Democrats as they face strong Republican challenges before upcoming elections.

HISPANIC Voters TURN to Trump: Discontent with Biden’s Policies

HISPANIC Voters TURN to Trump: Discontent with Biden’s Policies

A recent poll from The New York Times shows 35% of Hispanic voters feel Donald Trump’s policies helped them, compared to just 22% for President Biden. This suggests a preference for Trump’s approach over the current administration. The data raises questions about President Biden’s absence from campaign trails alongside Vice President Harris.

Munoz emphasized growth and improvement in key economic areas under Vice President Harris’s vision, claiming it resonates with Latino voters. However, he acknowledged the challenge of effectively reaching these communities through traditional polling methods. Munoz argued that Latino voters seek candidates who promise change rather than maintaining the status quo associated with Trump.

Burman highlighted that only 20% of Hispanic voters rate the economy as excellent or good, while 80% describe it as fair or poor — indicating dissatisfaction with current economic conditions. Despite this, Munoz remained optimistic about influencing voter perception in the remaining days before elections. He stressed focusing on ground-level engagement over relying solely on polling numbers to sway opinions among Hispanic constituents.

HARRIS FACES Backlash: Losing Catholic Voters Could Be Her Downfall

HARRIS FACES Backlash: Losing Catholic Voters Could Be Her Downfall

Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for alienating Catholic voters. Alex Marlow argues that her recent actions are not only ineffective but also harmful to her political standing.

Marlow claims that Harris’s attempts to mock Catholics have backfired, costing her a key group of voters that President Biden once secured. He points to her Senate behavior, especially during Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings, as proof of her ongoing struggles.

In contrast, Marlow commends former President Trump for his strong public presence despite political disagreements. He suggests Harris’s strategies are failing while Trump’s appeal remains strong among conservatives.

TRUMP And HARRIS Neck-And-Neck: What’s Behind the Poll Shocker?

TRUMP And HARRIS Neck-And-Neck: What’s Behind the Poll Shocker?

Recent polls show a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with both candidates nearly tied. Just last month, Harris was ahead in election and favorability ratings. Now, her lead is gone, sparking questions about why voters are changing their minds.

NBC’s Savannah Guthrie talked with analyst Steve Kornacki about this shift. He explained how Harris’s favorability ratings have reversed. Last month, she had a 48% positive rating compared to Trump’s steady numbers. Now her positive rating has fallen to 43%, while her negative rating jumped to 49%.

Kornacki noted that this change brings Harris’s ratings closer to Trump’s figures. He also mentioned an interesting twist about public views on Trump’s presidency. Recent polling shows that 44% of voters think Trump’s policies helped their families more than during his time in office.

HARRIS’S FUNDING Frenzy: Can Trump’s Campaign Catch UP?

HARRIS’S FUNDING Frenzy: Can Trump’s Campaign Catch UP?

Vice President Kamala Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in campaign fundraising. On the day she announced her candidacy, Harris raised $25 million and reached $500 million within a month. This financial boost gives her a strong edge as the 2024 presidential race intensifies.

Trump’s campaign, however, had collected $309 million by the end of August. To close this gap, Republican super PACs are stepping up, spending over $80 million on TV ads nationwide in September alone. They’ve also set aside more than $100 million for advertising during the campaign’s final weeks.

Despite this fundraising difference, Republicans remain determined. They’re investing heavily in online, mail, and door-to-door campaigns to counter Harris’s financial lead. The race for the White House is becoming fiercely competitive as both sides strategically deploy their resources to win voters over.

LIBERAL GROUP Targets Trump And Vance In Shocking Charges

LIBERAL GROUP Targets Trump And Vance In Shocking Charges

A liberal group backed by George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us has filed charges against Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. The Haitian Bridge Alliance claims the duo disrupted public services and harassed the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio.

The charges include making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing, and complicity. The group’s attorney stated that local prosecutors failed to act, prompting this rare move by private citizens in Ohio.

State law mandates a hearing before the affidavit can proceed, but none has been scheduled yet. Pro-Democratic media outlets have amplified these accusations while downplaying the impact of government-funded migration on American jobs and communities.

TRUMP Assassination Attempt SUSPECT Laughs in Court: Shocking Behavior Revealed

TRUMP Assassination Attempt SUSPECT Laughs in Court: Shocking Behavior Revealed

Ryan W. Routh, accused of trying to assassinate former President Trump, appeared in court Monday. He was seen smiling and laughing with his defense lawyers. Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg stated that Routh’s behavior does not indicate criminal insanity. “He fled after all, tried to get away and escape,” Aronberg noted. Routh was arrested near Palm City, Florida on September 15, 2024. A U.S. Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel through a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Routh fled north on Interstate 95 toward his home in North Carolina. Aronberg highlighted the irony of Routh’s actions given his support for Ukraine against Russia. Despite understanding right from wrong in international conflicts, Routh allegedly attempted an evil act by targeting Trump. This undermines any potential insanity defense he might claim. Federal prosecutors have taken over the case as the investigation continues into the failed assassination plot against former President Trump.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT on Trump’s Life: FBI Investigates Alleged Assassination

Former President Donald Trump survived another alleged assassination attempt while golfing in West Palm Beach on Sunday. The FBI is investigating the incident as an “attempted assassination.” This comes just over eight weeks after Trump narrowly survived a shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss expressed relief that Trump is safe, questioning the state of affairs in the U.S. “These attempts to subvert democracy must be stopped,” she urged. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper also condemned the violence, stating political violence has no place in a democracy and expressing gladness for Trump’s safety.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK and a staunch Trump ally, called the shooting “truly appalling.” Farage himself has faced physical attacks due to his political career and reflected on this latest attempt on Trump’s life with concern. Since leaving office, Liz Truss has become one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Europe, emphasizing the importance of his return to power for the fate of the Western world.

Co-host John Roberts aired a clip of Bernie Sanders saying Kamala Harris is being pragmatic to win the election, despite her past views. Roberts then questioned if Harris would revert to opposing fracking if elected.

Philippe Reines responded by suggesting that Sanders’ comments reflect Harris’s current stance on fracking, even though she previously opposed it. He emphasized that candidates often change their positions based on electoral needs and context.

Reines believes Harris is aligning with President Biden’s record to gain support from undecided voters. He expressed confidence in this strategy as a winning approach for the election.

TRUMP RALLY Draws Huge Crowd In Arizona: Supporters Ecstatic

TRUMP RALLY Draws Huge Crowd In Arizona: Supporters Ecstatic

Videos and pictures on social media show the arena, which holds 18,000 people, nearly full ahead of former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Turning Point Action rally. Supporters lined up for miles hoping to gain entry.

The venue previously hosted an event by Harris earlier this month, drawing a crowd of 15,000. The Trump rally comes shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his presidential campaign and urged blue state residents to vote for him while supporting Trump in battleground states.

Trump hinted at a “special guest” for the rally on Truth Social, leading many to speculate that it could be Kennedy. “Heading to Arizona where I will soon be speaking at Turning Point — BIG CROWD, AND EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE!” he posted.

ROBERT F Kennedy JR Shocks Nation: Endorses Trump

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign on Friday and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump. Speaking in Arizona, Kennedy expressed concerns that continuing his campaign would aid Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Kennedy’s support had declined in recent polls as he struggled to find his place in a race reshaped by President Joe Biden’s exit and Harris’ nomination. Recent polls showed Kennedy’s support hovering in the mid-single digits, far from earlier double-digit figures.

A July AP-NORC poll revealed Americans were split on their views of Kennedy, with Republicans more likely to view him favorably than Democrats or independents. Those with a positive impression of Kennedy also tended to favor Trump over Harris by a significant margin.

MICHAEL RAPAPORT Shocks Fans: Admits Trump Was Right on Israel and Economy

Actor Michael Rapaport, known for his harsh criticism of Donald Trump, has recently changed his tune on two key issues. Speaking on Sage Steele’s podcast, Rapaport admitted he was wrong about Trump’s handling of the economy and Israel.

Rapaport had previously called Trump derogatory names and criticized him daily. However, he now acknowledges that Trump supported Israel effectively and weakened Iran’s terror financing capabilities.

“I was wrong,” Rapaport confessed, noting that while he still dislikes some of Trump’s behavior, he can’t deny the positive outcomes in these areas. This admission marks a significant shift in Rapaport’s stance on the former president.

NETANYAHU and TRUMP Reunite: What’s at Stake for US-Israel Relations

NETANYAHU and TRUMP Reunite: What’s at Stake for US-Israel Relations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet former President Trump on Friday at Mar-a-Lago. The meeting aims to repair their fractured relationship after Netanyahu congratulated President Biden following the 2020 election. Trump had expressed his displeasure, saying, “I haven’t spoken to him since,” and adding a harsh remark.

Netanyahu’s tweet congratulating Biden and Harris highlighted his long-standing relationship with Biden and expressed a desire to strengthen the US-Israel alliance. This move angered Trump, who felt betrayed by the Israeli leader’s swift acknowledgment of Biden’s victory.

In an effort to mend ties, Netanyahu praised Trump during a speech to Congress on Thursday. He thanked Trump for his leadership in brokering the Abraham Accords and condemned political violence against democracy.

The Abraham Accords, facilitated by Trump’s administration, normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and several Sunni Arab countries including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Netanyahu’s tribute underscores the importance of Trump’s Middle East achievements in their upcoming meeting.

HARRIS ENTERS 2024 Race: National Security Fears Rise

HARRIS ENTERS 2024 Race: National Security Fears Rise

Kamala Harris has entered the race for the White House following President Biden’s announcement that he will not seek re-election. This sudden shift has raised alarms among national security experts who worry that adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran may exploit the “chaos” to their advantage.

These nations have shown little outward reaction to Biden’s withdrawal, but concerns remain high about potential changes in U.S. force posture abroad. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Moscow was “not very surprised” by Biden’s decision and emphasized Russia’s focus on its military operations in Ukraine.

With four months until the elections, much can change, making it crucial for America to stay vigilant and monitor developments closely. The Democratic Party now faces the challenge of building a strong platform against Republican candidate Donald Trump amid these geopolitical tensions.

SECURITY FAILURES at Trump Rally Spark Outrage

Two local law enforcement officers left their post to search for a suspicious man before the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally. This decision raises questions about whether a key position was left unattended as the shooter climbed onto a roof.

Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris testified that the officers were stationed at a second-floor window with a clear view of the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. Paris admitted uncertainty about whether staying at their post would have allowed them to see Crooks climbing onto the adjacent building’s roof.

The testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee sheds light on security preparations for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but also highlights potential lapses in law enforcement decisions. The Butler County District Attorney and Secret Service have not responded to requests for comments on who ordered the officers to leave their post.

The incident has sparked growing concerns over multiple security failures that enabled Crooks to fire eight shots into the crowd, resulting in one death and two injuries. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after being criticized by lawmakers for what she called the agency’s “most significant operational failure” in decades.

CONGRESS BLOCKED From Trump Rally Security Report

CONGRESS BLOCKED From Trump Rally Security Report

Congress was blocked from accessing the crucial Ops Report detailing the protection plan for former President Trump’s rally, a lawmaker revealed to Fox News Digital. The report should explain who was responsible for securing the rooftop from which Thomas Matthew Crooks fired.

Paul Mauro, an attorney and retired NYPD inspector, stated that if the Ops Plan did not cover that rooftop or wasn’t done at all, it represents a significant failure by whoever approved it. Mauro confirmed that as of Thursday afternoon, the FBI held the detailed written plan based on information from a highly trusted source.

The FBI declined to comment on the matter. Despite several reported sightings of Crooks an hour before he opened fire in Butler, Pennsylvania, he managed to slip through security cracks. One of his bullets grazed Trump’s ear and could have been fatal if Trump hadn’t moved his head at that moment.

TRUMP’S Unwavering Support For Israel Cheered At GOP Convention

TRUMP’S Unwavering Support For Israel Cheered At GOP Convention

Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition, spoke passionately at the 2024 Republican National Convention. He emphasized Trump’s strong support for Israel and criticized Biden’s foreign policy failures. “Let me hear you cheer if you support Israel!” Brooks urged, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

Brooks contrasted the GOP’s stance with that of Democrats, claiming a pro-Israel speech would be booed at their convention. Attendees proudly displayed Israeli flags as Brooks highlighted Trump’s achievements, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and delivering the Abraham Accords.

The convention celebrated Trump’s formal nomination as the Republican presidential candidate alongside running mate J.D. Vance. This event followed a failed assassination attempt on Trump just days earlier, adding to the triumphalist atmosphere in Milwaukee.

Republicans aim to leverage dissatisfaction within the Jewish community over Biden’s perceived lack of support for Israel and tolerance of antisemitism on campuses and in cities. “This election is a critical moment for the American Jewish community,” Brooks stated, urging voters to continue Trump’s pro-Israel legacy and repair U.S.-Israel relations after what he described as four disastrous years under Biden.

TRUMP ASSASSINATION Attempt: Hero Dead, TWO Injured At Pennsylvania Rally

The Pennsylvania State Police have identified the victims of the attempted assassination of former President TRUMP at a rally in Butler County. Corey Comperatore, 50, from Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed. David Dutch and James Copenhaver were injured but are in stable condition. Matt Popovich of the Marine Corps League of Pennsylvania confirmed that one of their members was among the victims. “It is with great sadness that I report that one of the civilians shot at the rally was one of our own,” he wrote on Facebook. Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, tragically lost his life while shielding his family from bullets. David Dutch remains in critical condition after being shot in the liver and chest. He is currently in an induced coma following multiple surgeries. Doctors described Trump’s survival as “miraculous” given how close a bullet came to his brain. The incident highlights growing political tensions and has left communities mourning and praying for those affected.

Maduro stated, “We have been adversaries but I wish President Trump health and a long life.” This marks a significant shift from his typical hostile rhetoric against the former U.S. president.

Unexpected Contender: The Significance of Masoud Pezeshkian’s ...

REFORMIST VICTORY: Iran’s New President Promises Change

Reformist candidate Masoud Pezeshkian won Iran’s runoff presidential election, defeating hard-liner Saeed Jalili. Pezeshkian promised to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the mandatory headscarf law. He secured 16.3 million votes compared to Jalili’s 13.5 million in an election with a 49.6% turnout.

Pezeshkian assured no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy, acknowledging Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final authority. Despite his modest aims, he faces challenges from hard-liners and ongoing geopolitical tensions, including Western concerns over Iran’s uranium enrichment program.

Supporters celebrated in Tehran and other cities as Pezeshkian’s lead grew over Jalili. The heart surgeon and longtime lawmaker addressed journalists at Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum, emphasizing his commitment to honesty and fulfilling promises made during his campaign.

Pezeshkian’s victory comes at a delicate time with high tensions in the Mideast and an upcoming U.S. election that could impact relations between Tehran and Washington. His win wasn’t a landslide, indicating he must navigate Iran’s complex internal politics carefully as he lacks experience in high-level security roles.

BRITISH Election Sees NEW Voter ID LAW in Action

Polling stations across the UK opened this morning at 7 AM and will close at 10 PM. Ipsos pollsters are gathering exit poll data to provide an early picture of the election results. Detailed seat-specific results will only be available in the early hours of Friday.

British and Irish citizens, along with some Commonwealth immigrants, are eligible to vote if they are over 18. This election marks the first time voters must show legal identification to cast their ballots in person, a measure aimed at reducing voter fraud. The Electoral Commission has approved 22 forms of ID, including passports and driving licenses.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty were seen voting at Kirby Sigston Village Hall today. Reporting on the election is restricted while polling places are open, with broadcasters banned from discussing outcomes or publishing polls until voting ends. Violating these rules can result in imprisonment for news editors.

LABOUR PARTY Surges Amid UK Election Betting Scandal

The U.K. general election on July 4 is approaching, with the Labour Party expected to defeat Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives. Polls indicate Labour leader Keir Starmer will likely form the next government.

The Conservative campaign has struggled, facing allegations of election betting involving figures close to Sunak. This scandal has further dampened their already lackluster efforts.

In the U.K., the prime minister decides election dates, unlike fixed schedules in countries like the U.S. This unique system has led to a market for predicting election dates and outcomes.

Police officers and Conservative insiders are under investigation for their involvement in this betting scandal, adding another layer of controversy as over 50 countries prepare for elections in 2024.

FARAGE BLASTS Sunak: Migrant Crisis Threatens Election

FARAGE BLASTS Sunak: Migrant Crisis Threatens Election

With just over a week until the July 4th general election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faces criticism for failing to “stop the boats.” Populist challenger Nigel Farage filmed 45 migrants in a small dinghy entering British waters, escorted by the Border Force. This brings the total crossings to over 13,000 for 2024 and marks 50,000 since Sunak took office in 2022.

Farage has labeled this year’s vote as the “migration election,” arguing that Sunak’s government has failed to control illegal immigration. “Rishi can’t stop the boats,” Farage declared, emphasizing that migrant numbers have surged under Sunak’s leadership. He pointed out that during Boris Johnson’s tenure, although longer, fewer migrants crossed into Britain.

“The significance of this boat is that this number on this vessel takes it beyond 50,000 since Rishi became Prime Minister,” Farage told GB News from the Channel. He warned viewers not to underestimate the severity of the situation as it continues to worsen. The ongoing crisis highlights a key issue for voters as they head to the polls next week.

Two other Conservative candidates, Laura Saunders and Craig Williams, are also being investigated. Tony Lee, Saunders’ husband and Conservative director of campaigning, has taken a leave of absence amid similar allegations.

The scandal comes just two weeks before the national election, dealing a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s party. Sunak expressed anger over the allegations and stated that lawbreakers should be expelled from the party.

Saunders has pledged full cooperation with investigators. Williams served as Sunak’s parliamentary private secretary in addition to being a candidate.

Biden’s BORDER Policy SHOCKS Americans: Crime Rates Soar

President Biden’s border policy has led to a surge in illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the rising crime rates linked to this influx. Local communities are feeling the impact, and some residents say they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhoods.

Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and lacks proper enforcement. They believe this has encouraged more people to cross illegally, putting a strain on resources and law enforcement.

Supporters of stricter border control point out that crime rates have increased in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from further harm.

The debate over immigration policy continues, but one thing is clear: many Americans are deeply concerned about their safety and the future of their communities under current policies.

PENNSYLVANIA: The 2024 ELECTION Battleground That Could Decide It All

PENNSYLVANIA: The 2024 ELECTION Battleground That Could Decide It All

Pennsylvania will be a crucial battleground in the 2024 presidential election, according to Senator John Fetterman. He believes that without winning Pennsylvania, there is no legitimate path to the presidency. Fetterman asserts that Joe Biden has a strong connection with Pennsylvania voters and will likely carry the state again.

Fetterman acknowledges that the race will be very close due to Trump’s strong ties in Pennsylvania. He also downplays the impact of Trump’s legal troubles, suggesting voters have already made up their minds about him. “I don’t think that whole trial is going to be anything meaningful,” he said.

Bill Maher questioned whether Biden is the best candidate for Democrats in 2024, given he hasn’t officially been nominated yet. Fetterman responded affirmatively, stating Biden is “the only American that’s ever beaten Trump in an election” and believes he’s the only Democrat who can win again.

Fetterman also took a jab at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, recalling how Trump defeated him despite his significant campaign funds and popularity within his own state. “Trump threw him in the woodchipper,” he remarked about DeSantis’s failed attempt to challenge Trump’s dominance within the GOP.

Donald J. Trump The White House

TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Lawyers Demand End to GAG Order in New York Case

Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting the removal of a gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and others involved in his criminal case. His lawyers argue that the restrictions on Trump’s First Amendment rights are no longer justified now that the trial has concluded.

Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, emphasized the need for “unrestrained campaign advocacy,” especially after President Joe Biden’s public comments about the verdict. They also pointed out ongoing criticism from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels as reasons to lift the gag order.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment on this request. Judge Juan M. Merchan initially issued the gag order before the trial started due to concerns about Trump attacking those involved in his cases.

Merchan later expanded it to include comments about his own family after Trump targeted his daughter online. While remarks about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg are permitted, statements regarding court staff and Bragg’s prosecution team remain prohibited under the current gag order.

SUNAK SHOCKS Nation: Calls Surprise Election for July 4

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has shocked many by calling a general election for July 4. Known for being thorough and evidence-led, this move contrasts sharply with his usual cautious approach.

Sunak’s leadership was expected to stabilize the country after the chaotic tenures of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. However, opinion polls suggest he hasn’t significantly improved Conservative Party standings against the Labour Party.

Sunak became prime minister in October 2022, replacing Liz Truss after her economic policies caused market turmoil. Despite his warnings about her reckless tax cuts proving accurate, Sunak has struggled to gain voter confidence.

As Britain’s first leader of color and youngest prime minister in over 200 years, Sunak had a rapid rise within Conservative ranks. He previously served as Treasury chief during the coronavirus pandemic, managing an unprecedented economic support package.

SUNAK’S Shocking Gamble: UK Election Called For July 4

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a surprise general election for July 4. This decision is unexpected given his reputation for being thorough and evidence-led. Many are shocked, considering his focus on stability after the chaos of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss’s tenures.

Opinion polls suggest that Sunak’s Conservative Party is trailing behind the opposition Labour Party, which could spell trouble for his leadership. Sunak took office in October 2022, replacing Liz Truss after her economic policies caused market turmoil.

Sunak had warned against Truss’s unfunded tax cuts, predicting economic havoc that indeed followed. His rise to power was rapid, becoming Britain’s first leader of color and youngest prime minister in over two centuries at age 42.

Sunak previously served as Treasury chief during the coronavirus pandemic, where he introduced an unprecedented economic support package. Now at age 44, he faces a critical test with this upcoming election amid challenging political landscapes.

UK-US SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Faces Turbulence With Trump And Labour

UK-US SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Faces Turbulence With Trump And Labour

Polls indicate Donald Trump may return to the White House, while the Labour Party is projected to take power in the UK. This potential shift could strain the “special relationship” between the two nations.

Labour leaders are softening their stance on Trump, recognizing the need for cooperation with Washington. However, London Mayor Sadiq Khan is pushing for open criticism of Trump, labeling him a “racist,” “sexist,” and "homophobe.

Khan insists that maintaining a special relationship means calling out such views. Despite his city’s crime issues and recent re-election, Khan remains vocal against another Trump presidency. He argues against welcoming Trump with state honors and claims many Republicans share his concerns about Trump’s return.

LABOUR PARTY’S NEW Promises: Empty Words or Real Change?

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer announced key pledges to win over voters in the upcoming U.K. election. His promises focus on economic stability, security, health, and education. Labour aims to regain power after 14 years in opposition.

Starmer’s six promises include restoring economic stability amid high inflation and mortgage rates, establishing a publicly owned green-energy company, and toughening border controls. Labour also plans to cut NHS waiting times, recruit more police officers, and hire thousands of new teachers.

Funding for these initiatives will come from measures like a windfall tax on oil and gas companies and ending tax breaks for private schools. At an event in Essex, Starmer called these pledges “our down-payment on change” that would take a decade to implement.

Since taking over from Jeremy Corbyn in 2020, Starmer has moved Labour toward the political center ground by supporting military aid to Ukraine and committing to balancing the books while addressing antisemitism within the party under Corbyn’s leadership.

MODI’S REMARKS Ignite Controversy: Accusations of Hate Speech During Campaign

India’s main opposition party, the Congress, has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using hate speech during a campaign rally. Modi called Muslims “infiltrators,” leading to significant backlash. The Congress filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India, arguing that such comments could worsen religious tensions.

Critics believe that under Modi’s leadership and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India’s commitment to secularism and diversity is at risk. They accuse the BJP of fostering religious intolerance and occasionally inciting violence, although the party claims its policies benefit all Indians without bias.

In a speech in Rajasthan, Modi criticized the Congress party’s previous governance, accusing them of favoring Muslims in resource distribution. He warned that a reelected Congress would reallocate wealth to what he called “infiltrators,” questioning whether it is right to use citizens’ earnings this way.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge condemned Modi’s comments as “hate speech.” Meanwhile, spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi described them as “deeply objectionable.” This controversy comes at a critical time during India’s general election process.

SOUTH KOREAN Election Shocker: Voters Lean Left in Historic Turn

SOUTH KOREAN Election Shocker: Voters Lean Left in Historic Turn

South Korean voters, upset by the economic slump, are showing their disapproval towards President Yoon Suk-yeol and his ruling People Power Party (PPP). Early exit polls indicate a dramatic tilt in the National Assembly, with the opposition DP/DUP coalition on track to win between 168 and 193 of the 300 seats. This would leave Yoon’s PPP and its partners trailing with just 87-111 seats.

A record-breaking turnout of 67 percent — the highest for a midterm election since 1992 — reflects widespread voter engagement. South Korea’s unique proportional representation system aims to give smaller parties a chance but has resulted in a crowded field that confuses many voters.

PPP leader Han Dong-hoon has publicly recognized the disappointing exit poll figures. He pledged to honor the electorate’s decision and wait for the final tally. The election results could mark a pivotal change in South Korea’s political landscape, hinting at broader shifts ahead.

This electoral outcome underscores growing public discontent with current economic policies and signals a desire for change among South Korean voters, potentially reshaping the nation’s policy direction in years to come.

REFORM UK RISES: Public Discontent Over Immigration Policies Fuels Momentum

REFORM UK RISES: Public Discontent Over Immigration Policies Fuels Momentum

Reform UK is gaining momentum, largely fueled by its firm stance against “unchecked immigration,” as stated by the party’s deputy chair. This surge in support comes in light of recent data from Ipsos Mori and British Future, a pro-immigration think tank. The figures highlight public dissatisfaction with the government’s management of borders, indicating a potential shift in the UK’s political landscape.

Despite Labour currently leading in the polls, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is outpacing the Conservatives when it comes to trust and policy matters. This could serve as an alarm bell for Tory politicians who have been at Britain’s political helm for two centuries. Ben Habib, Deputy Leader of Reform UK, attributes this shift to what he perceives as the Conservative Party neglecting their own voter base.

According to Ipsos Mori research, 69% of Britons express dissatisfaction with immigration policies while only 9% are content. Of those dissatisfied individuals, over half (52%) believe migration should be reduced while just 17% think it should increase. Specific grievances include inadequate measures to prevent channel crossings (54%) and high immigration numbers (51%). Less concern was shown towards creating negative environments for migrants (28%) or poor treatment of asylum seekers (25%).

Habib asserts that this widespread discontent signifies a historic realignment in politics

TRUMP SURGES Ahead in Michigan: Biden’s Struggle to Secure Base Exposed

TRUMP SURGES Ahead in Michigan: Biden’s Struggle to Secure Base Exposed

A recent trial ballot in Michigan has revealed a surprising lead for Trump over Biden, with 47 percent favoring the former president compared to 44 percent for the incumbent. This result falls within the survey’s ±3 percent margin of error, leaving nine percent of voters still undecided.

In a more complex five-way trial ballot test, Trump maintains his lead at 44 percent against Biden’s 42 percent. The remaining votes are split among independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West.

Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research, attributes Trump’s lead to Biden’s lackluster support from African Americans and younger voters. He forecasts a nail-biting contest ahead as the victory will likely hinge on which candidate can rally their base more effectively.

In a head-to-head choice between Trump and Biden, an overwhelming 90 percent of Republican Michiganders back Trump while only 84 percent of Democrats support Biden. This poll report underscores an uncomfortable situation for Biden as he loses a significant 12 percent chunk of his vote to former President Trump.

GOP’S SELF-Destruction: Gowdy Slams Republican Candidate Choices and Election Failures

GOP’S SELF-Destruction: Gowdy Slams Republican Candidate Choices and Election Failures

In a thought-provoking exchange, host Rich Edson engaged in a debate with guest Trey Gowdy about the looming Senate budget. Edson raised doubts about whether Republicans had managed to negotiate an advantageous deal, despite not holding sway over the Senate or White House. In response, Gowdy didn’t hold back from critiquing his own party. He highlighted that the GOP’s subpar candidate selection and lackluster election performance were at the root of their current predicament. As evidence, he referenced recent electoral disappointments. These included last November’s midterms where House Republicans fell short of expectations, and the 2021 Georgia elections which saw two Republican Senators unseated. Looking ahead, Gowdy sounded an alarm about potential repercussions if Democrats seize control of all three branches — House, Senate, and White House. He warned that a detrimental budget bill would be unavoidable in such circumstances. The responsibility for this possible outcome? According to Gowdy, it rests squarely on GOP shoulders due to their poor candidate choices and failure to secure winnable elections.

MCQUADE’S SHOCKING Comparison: Trump’s Tactics Mirror Hitler and Mussolini?

MCQUADE’S SHOCKING Comparison: Trump’s Tactics Mirror Hitler and Mussolini?

Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade has sparked controversy by comparing President Trump’s tactics to those of infamous dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. She suggests that Trump’s use of simple, repeatable slogans like “Stop the Steal” reflects strategies used by these historical figures.

McQuade also argues that Trump’s claim of a stolen election is a “big lie.” She believes this tactic, ironically, gains credibility due to its sheer size. According to her, such strategies have been seen in the actions of notorious leaders like Hitler and Mussolini throughout history.

In addition, she criticized today’s media environment. McQuade suggests that people are creating their own “news bubbles,” leading to an echo-chamber effect where they only encounter ideas that support their existing views.

Her remarks have ignited intense debates on social media platforms. Critics argue her comparison is overly dramatic while supporters think it underscores serious problems in our political dialogue.

TRUMP’S COMEBACK: Leads Biden in Hypothetical 2024 Race, Reveals Michigan Poll

TRUMP’S COMEBACK: Leads Biden in Hypothetical 2024 Race, Reveals Michigan Poll

A recent poll from Michigan, conducted by Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research, reveals a surprising turn of events. In a hypothetical race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Trump takes a two-point lead. The poll shows 47% of registered voters backing Trump while Biden comes close with 45%. This narrow lead falls within the poll’s margin of error.

This represents an impressive swing towards Trump by 11 points compared to a July 2020 Fox News Beacon Research and Shaw Company poll. During that time, Biden held the upper hand with 49% support versus Trump’s 40%. In this latest survey, only one percent would back another candidate while three percent would abstain from voting. An intriguing four percent remain undecided.

The plot thickens when the field is expanded to include independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West. Here, Trump’s lead over Biden grows to five points suggesting his appeal remains strong among voters even in a wider field of candidates.

TRUMP, CONSPIRACY Theories, And Their Impact On US Politics

Conspiracy theories have always been part of human history. Recently, they’ve taken center stage in politics and culture. Notably, former President Donald Trump has propagated theories about climate change, elections, voting, crime and even lent his voice to the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election loss to Joe Biden incited the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. This event itself spawned its own set of conspiracy theories.

On the other side of the political spectrum is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has used vaccine-related conspiracy theories as a platform for his presidential campaign this year.

Conspiracy theories aren’t just political tools — they’re also moneymakers for those who exploit unfounded medical claims or investment proposals or run fake news websites.“ ”TRUMP’s Conspiracy Theories: UNRAVELING Their SHOCKING Impact on US Politics

Conspiracy theories have always woven themselves into human history’s narrative fabric. Yet recently they’ve seized a starring role in both politics and culture alike.

TRUMP’S EYE on Burgum: A Potential Power Player in Second Administration

TRUMP’S EYE on Burgum: A Potential Power Player in Second Administration

Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, has recently been spotlighted by former President Trump as a potential key player for his possible second term. This news emerged following Trump’s unprecedented victory in the Iowa Caucuses.

Responding to conjecture about a potential role in Trump’s administration, Burgum, who had previously endorsed Trump just before the Iowa Caucuses said, “Well, it’s very flattering... but you know, these are all hypotheticals.”

The Governor underscored his dedication to his current position and to backing Trump’s nomination and election endeavors. He further explained that his previous campaign was motivated by concerns about the economy, energy and national security issues that America is facing.

UKRAINIAN Drone Attacks SPARK Terror in Russia Ahead of Presidential Election

UKRAINIAN Drone Attacks SPARK Terror in Russia Ahead of Presidential Election

The city of Klintsy, located near the Ukrainian border, became the latest victim of Ukraine’s escalated drone strikes. Four oil reservoirs were set ablaze following an attack by a Ukrainian drone. This incident marks an intensification in Ukraine’s efforts to disrupt Russian normalcy ahead of its March 17 presidential election.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed to increase strikes on Russian targets this year. With Russia’s air defenses primarily focused on occupied regions within Ukraine, remote Russian locations are becoming more susceptible to long-range Ukrainian drones.

The fear induced by these drone attacks forced the Russian city of Belgorod to call off its Orthodox Epiphany celebrations — marking a first for major public events in Russia. Concurrently, there are reports that a gunpowder mill in Tambov was targeted by Ukrainian drones. However, local officials refute any claims of operational disruptions.

In another development aligning with this trend, the Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting a Ukrainian drone near St. Petersburg Oil Terminal last Thursday. These escalating attacks underline the mounting tension between Ukraine and Russia.

TRUMP’S MAGA Wave Sparks Global Conservative Populist Triumphs

TRUMP’S MAGA Wave Sparks Global Conservative Populist Triumphs

In a recent interview at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump stated that his MAGA-Trump movement is driving a global surge of conservative populist victories. He pointed to Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, as an example. Milei reportedly thanked Trump for laying the groundwork with his policies. The former US president playfully suggested that Milei’s “Make Argentina Great Again” slogan could also be shortened to MAGA.

Trump’s 2016 triumph over Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton was not a singular occurrence. It was preceded by significant wins for conservative populists worldwide, such as the Brexit referendum in the UK and Jimmy Morales’s victory in Guatemala’s presidential race. These successes helped ignite the movement that ultimately led to Trump’s ascendancy.

As we approach 2024, conservative populists are making further strides globally. Italy now boasts Giorgia Meloni as Prime Minister and Geert Wilders’ PVV party leads polls in Netherlands. With these victories and more expected throughout the year, it appears a global sweep for conservative populists is on the cards leading up to Trump’s anticipated rematch with Democrat President Joe Biden.
