Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised $7.1 million since he surrender himself into custody at the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.
Trump surrendered himself into custody after being indicted alongside 18 others in a 98-page, 41-count indictment by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Notably, Fulton County made Trump take a mugshot, marking his first mugshot of the four criminal cases he currently faces.
Trump returned to Twitter for the first time in two years on Thursday, posting a photo of his mugshot and a link directing his supporters to donate to his campaign.
Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Harvard law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz argued President Joe Biden should be for a special counsel investigation into the alleged wrongdoing that has overshadowed his presidency.
Dershowitz argued if he were innocent, a special counsel investigation would clear it up.
“You know, Professor, I’m very curious,” host Sean Hannity said. “I don’t remember or recall — we probably have talked about, I just don’t remember off the top of my head, but this whole issue of Burisma. Let me give you the timeline. October 2015, we know from the reporting of John Solomon that it became the official policy after interagency collaboration for the U.S. to give
It appears Disney is still assigning grown men dressed in skirts and dresses as greeters for children at its Disneyland Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique attraction, where little girls are treated to a “princess makeover.”
On Aug. 25, the indispensable Libs of TikTok posted a pair of images from visitors to Disneyland in Florida that shows two burly men, one rotund and bearded, wearing dresses and greeting small children and their parents. This is not the first time social media erupted upon reports of facial hair-sporting men in dresses were seen working as greeters at Disneyland’s boutique that caters to little girls.
The White House counsel’s office held a meeting with a top aide to Special Counsel Jack Smith and an FBI agent around two months before Smith charged former President Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
Smith’s top aide, Jay Bratt, met with Caroline Seba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, on March 31, according to White House visitor logs, the New York Post reported. Danielle Ray, an FBI agent in the Washington, D.C., field office, also joined Bratt and Seba at the meeting.
Hours after former President Trump was arrested in Fulton County on charges that he allegedly tried to overturn the 2020 election, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) brutally scorched President Joe Biden in a "savage" takedown. During an interview on Fox News, Kennedy did not hold back in his rant about the weaponization of the government and the sleaze of what he penned as "Hunter Gate."
Kennedy began by comparing Biden's constant lecturing of the "injustice of privilege" to being lectured about gun safety by Alec Baldwin.
He then questioned the shady business dealings conducted by Hunter Biden, addressing the significant amount of money the president's son from foreign countries.
Former President Donald Trump has raised several million dollars in the 48 hours since he was booked and released from a Fulton County jail on Thursday evening.
POLITICO reported that the campaign’s fundraising was powered largely by merchandise sales that featured the former president’s mugshot. His campaign had threatened to “come after” anyone who used the image to raise money — even though the photo is public domain. The report said that in the first 24 hours after the mugshot’s release, the campaign had raised $4.18 million — a sum similar to what he raised after his first indictment — and has since hit $7.1 million.
A Canadian lawmaker has revealed a 'game-plan' is being devised on how to respond if the US becomes a far-right, authoritarian regime, following the presidential election.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada is keeping a close eye on who is going to be America's next leader, the National Post reports.
'We are certainly working on scenarios,' Joly told a Montreal radio station in French during an interview this week. 'In general, there is our game plan, precisely to be able to manage what could be a rather difficult situation.
Edward Snowden, who famously leaked classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013, recently claimed that the FBI probably already has a file on singing sensation Oliver Anthony.
Millions of Americans who have become skeptical about the FBI in recent years will probably find this easy to believe.
Anthony’s song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ has resonated with America because it is so critical of government. That alone could spark the interest of the intel community.
The Washington Examiner reports:

Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” is the most talked about song in America.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) ordered the U.S. Capitol flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the 13 troops killed two years ago in President Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.
“Two years ago today, we tragically lost 13 brave servicemen and women in Afghanistan,” McCarthy said in a statement online. “I have directed the flags at the U.S. Capitol to be lowered to half-staff in honor of these American heroes.” (X photos) McCarthy also posted the following list of the names of the 13 servicemembers killed:
Sgt. Johanny Rosario Pichardo, 25

The U.S. Department of Justice is weighing potential charges against Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., following a yearslong federal criminal probe into his dealings with foreign regulators, according to a new report. (snip) The probe, which involves several federal organizations, investigated lavish gifts Menendez's wife, Nadine Arslanian, allegedly received from a New Jersey food producer that obtained an exclusive contract with the Egyptian government to certify halal food exports across the globe.
You have to hand it to the Biden team. They truly seem to be clueless. Or perhaps they think we are, with the things they try to sell us.
They think the problem isn't Biden, it's just messaging. If Americans just understood Biden and his policies a little better, then we'd truly get what a great guy he is and how wonderful his "plans" are. Of course, the problem is that we do understand his policies--because they are adversely impacting our wallets every single day in so many ways. They're costing us hundreds of dollars more every month--by one count, $709 more a month--

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin detailed the involvement he believed President Biden, the then-vice president, played in his firing and how it involved Hunter Biden's business dealings. (snip) "There is no doubt that his actions have damaged the US reputation in Ukraine. It is public knowledge," he said. "Everybody knows that it was because of Joe Biden's actions that Russia was able to claim Crimea without firing a single shot, which of course eventually led to a full scale war that is currently under way."
DailyMail.com revealed this week how the Biden administration was considering slashing alcohol guidelines to just two drinks per week.
Dr George Koob, America's alcohol czar, said that evidence had increasingly indicated no amount of alcohol was good for human health.
Yet every year, studies hint that when consumed in moderation, there may be mild benefits to drinking alcohol. The theories range from booze acting as a way to de-stress to health benefits gained from consuming the antioxidants in wine, but none of these have ever been proven definitively.
We put the question of whether any amount of alcohol can be beneficial to six experts —
Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur has not interviewed him yet and has no interest in speaking with him.
“Are you planning to sit for an interview with the special counsel looking into the [classified] documents matter?” a reporter in Lake Tahoe asked Joe Biden.
Biden implied the special counsel has no interest in interviewing him.
“There’s no such request and no such interest,” Biden said. WATCH: (Video) Special Prosecutor Robert Hur is having to negotiate with Biden’s lawyers and the DOJ for a *possible interview* with Joe Biden
In yet another sign of the Biden Administration’s determination to control, censor, and spy on American social media users, the draft of a proposed deal between Chinese-owned TikTok and the Biden administration shows the latter requesting extraordinary authority over the platform.
The proposed deal, outlined in a 100-page draft obtained by Forbes, would give the U.S. government the power to examine TikTok’s servers with no notice — something that could potentially allow the government to spy on American users.In a sign of the administration’s preoccupation with censoring social media users, the agreement also reportedly gives the government the power to veto any changes to TikTok’s content moderation policies.

It appears that black support for former President Trump is skyrocketing in the wake of his surrender in Fulton County, followed by his booking and a now-infamous mugshot.
Now viral video of Trump’s motorcade reportedly rolling through urban Atlanta showed black residents lining the streets to cheer him on and offering their support yelling, “Free Trump!” [Video]
As Trump turned himself in on Thursday, “Blacks for Trump” also lined the street outside of the Fulton County jailhouse. The organization’s founder, Maurice Symonette, spoke to Rolling Out about the group showing up to the jail to support the former president.
“Why are you all out here in Atlanta to support Trump?"
Globalists do not want former President Donald Trump to win because he is the “biggest threat to their power,” Donald Trump Jr. told Breitbart News Saturday, adding that “people are waking up to what’s going on.”
“He’s the biggest threat to their power, right?” Don Jr. said when asked why these elites are so against his father.
“These guys want someone they can control. They want someone that when they call and say jump, the president says how high. They know they don’t have that with Trump and it allows him to actually fight for the real Americans that he got into this thing [for] to begin with,” he said.
I have a reason for hope, for all of America. Our founders defined a profound national identity for us to be and become, in our Declaration of Independence.
They said:
1. We are created beings, living in a miraculous world.
2. Each of our unique lives is equally significant in the eyes of our Creator.
3. No government can claim authority over us as long as we adhere to the laws we consent to be governed by.
They also provided a toolkit for maintaining this national identity.
Right now we need to be looking in that toolkit for every peaceable remedy to defeat

Times Square is looking a lot like its bad old self, with vagrants, boozy migrants, junkies, and scofflaws making the Crossroads of the World look more like the third world, infuriating those who played an important role in its cleanup.
Police in Massachusetts are continuing to cover up information about the death of Obama personal chef Tafari Campbell even after declaring the case closed this week, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The response has prompted an outcry from First Amendment advocates who have been left asking: 'What do they have to hide?'
And it has also sparked a plethora of conspiracy theories including the role of the former president's family in the cover-up and Campbell's relationship with the unidentified woman who witnessed his death.Earlier this month state police had withheld information under the guise of an 'ongoing investigation', citing a Public Records Law exemption that allows
Oops! Democrats may have just handed the benefits of their generations of indoctrination and programming to their arch-nemesis, Donald Trump. It looks like Big Left’s multi-generational grooming efforts to make certain groups of Americans see themselves as victims may be about to bite them so hard on the backside, they won’t be able to walk for decades.
Imagine you tell a group of people that they have been unfairly targeted, persecuted, kicked down, and arrested and jailed for years on end. Now imagine you accidentally create a super-compelling hero for them — only he’s not the Progressive savior you wanted them to worship, he’s the mega-victim with whom they identify.
What do you think of when you hear “placebo-controlled clinical trial?”
Most people familiar with the term will understand it to be the standard way many drugs are tested in order to determine efficacy and safety before they are licensed and marketed to the general public. It’s usually understood to involve a pharmacologically inactive or inert pill with no active ingredient producing no medical effect as part of a control group used to draw a comparison between it and the experimental drug under inspection.
But if you thought that this is what is used to test the safety of vaccines, you’d be wrong.
In a recent revelation, GOP presidential candidate Hirsh Singh has brought to light controversial details concerning Vivek Ramaswamy’s political affiliations and voting history. Documentation obtained from the Franklin County, Ohio Board of Elections suggests that Ramaswamy is not a registered Republican but, rather, a registered “Unaffiliated” voter.
In an X post (formerly Twitter), Singh wrote, “Per documentation received by Vivek Ramswamy’s Franklin County, Ohio Board of Elections Vivek is not a registered Republican, but Registered Unaffiliated and never voted in a Republican Primary in his entire life.”
Carlos Santana is a rock music legend and an absolutely fantastic guitar player, one of the greatest of all time. Since he’s Latino, you’d think he would have a few extra layers of immunity from the rabid online cancel culture mob, but alas, all of that is forgotten when you dare to make a scientifically accurate statement that bursts the LGBTQ community’s bubble of delusion. The “T” in “LGBTQ” stands for transgender, by the way.
According to Breitbart News, the media is now slamming Santana as “anti-transgender” because he stated the clear biological truth that “a woman is a woman and a man is a man” during one of his recent
On June 5th, 1989 an iconic photo was taken by CNN in Tiananmen Square of “Tank Man,” a singular Chinese citizen, facing down the Chinese Communist Party’s ruthless imperium.
Prior, Tiananmen Square had become an impromptu abattoir, a site where pro-democracy sympathizers had been slaughtered by the thousands. It was the embodiment of Mao Zedong’s famous quip, “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
What the Chinese regime didn’t know though, was that the image of “Tank Man” would be captured by a tired photographer from a hotel balcony, and become one of the most recognized symbols
If only Harrison Floyd’s first name were George. If only he’d been a convicted felon who passed a counterfeit bill, filled himself with illegal drugs, and resisted arrest. If that were the case, he’d have had millions of dollars flowing to him from Hollywood and Democrat politicians, and he’d have been a media hero. However, Harrison Floyd isn’t a thug of color. Instead, he’s a retired Marine vet, living with his family and getting by on his pension. And he’s also a black Trump supporter, which is why he’s rotting in a Fulton County jail.
A family is desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door and killed their relative in a pre-dawn raid last week.
The FBI is refusing to tell a grieving mother why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am last Wednesday and fatally shot her son.
According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at a residence in Henderson, Tennessee to serve a man named Theodore Deschler an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.
A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan (R) is consulting with the state attorney general to determine if the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment empowers him to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential ballot.
As secretary of state, Scanlan oversees New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary that will take place at the beginning of 2024. However, Scanlan has caught wind of scholars’ recent arguments that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause prohibits Trump from being on the presidential ballot.
As ABC7 Chicago detailed:
Former television host Bob Barker has died at the age of 99.
Barker was most known as the Price is Right host for 35 years, which included 3,524 shows. The program remains the longest-running game show in television history. During his career, Barker's various television programs awarded $55 million in prizes. A spokesperson for Barker said he died from natural causes.
Cape Canaveral, Fla.— Four astronauts from four countries rocketed toward the International Space Station on Saturday.
They should reach the orbiting lab in their SpaceX capsule Sunday, replacing four astronauts living up there since March.
A NASA astronaut was joined on the predawn liftoff from Kennedy Space Center by fliers from Denmark, Japan and Russia. They clasped one another’s gloved hands upon reaching orbit. It was the first U.S. launch where every spacecraft seat was occupied by a different country — until now, NASA had always included two or three of its own on its SpaceX taxi flights.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Mark Schmitz, whose son, Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, was killed in the Kabul airport attack in 2021, blasted President Joe Biden for his handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan by stating that “The advisers were telling Biden not to do what he was going to do. He flat-out ignored it, simply for, I believe that September 11 original date that he wanted to have as the deadline and moved it up to the 31st. And then turns around and has the audacity to blame Trump for everything.”
Schmitz said, “There were so many incredible mistakes made during this entire situation,

President Joe Biden was serenaded with boos and jeers when he stepped out in public on Friday while on vacation in Lake Tahoe, and the look on his face was absolutely priceless.
The deeply unpopular leader has spent most of the month of August away from the White House, padding the number of vacation days that he has taken since his inauguration, which recently topped an entire year, this time staying at the opulent $18 million home of billionaire Democrat donor and climate alarmist Tom Steyer.
A video that has gone viral on social media captures the moment that the elderly Biden realizes that he isn’t nearly as beloved

GOP supermajority replies
Raleigh, NC— North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a sweeping Republican elections bill Thursday that would end a grace period for voting by mail and make new allowances for partisan poll observers.
In a video message, the Democratic governor accused legislative Republicans of using their slim veto-proof majorities to execute “an all-out assault on the right to vote,” which he said has nothing to do with election security and everything to do with their party keeping and gaining power. The bill would make voting more difficult for young and nonwhite voters who are are more likely to vote absentee and less likely to elect Republicans, he said.
A wildfire on Maui this month burned down an entire town. It was because the local electric company spent far more money pandering to the Greens than on making their power lines safe. And because the local water czar refused to divert water to firefighters because “water equity.” It left over a hundred people dead and hundreds more still missing.
Joe Biden’s comment was “No comment.”
After all, he was on vacation – as he is 40% of the time – from the rigors of his usual vacation in the White House. After his vacation from vacation finally ended, they packed his somnolent corpus onto Air Force One to Maui

BISMARCK, N.D. — The beloved wild horses that roam freely in North Dakota’s Theodore Roosevelt National Park could be removed under a National Park Service proposal that worries advocates who say the horses are a cultural link to the past. Visitors who drive the scenic park road can often see bands of horses, a symbol of the West and sight that delights tourists. Advocates want to see the horses continue to roam the Badlands, and disagree with park officials who have branded the horses as “livestock.” The Park Service is revising its livestock plans and writing an environmental assessment to
In a wide-ranging interview Thursday with The Durango Herald, Clive Kincaid recounted his life story and the role he played in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots.
In explaining his life story, he said it is important for understanding how he ended up at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Kincaid, 75, was charged this month for his role at the U.S. Capitol.
He called his parents extremists on “both sides” and said he no longer has “one iota of faith in this country.”
“My father was a Marxist, an out-and-out communist,” Kincaid said. “My mother was from Germany. She grew up in Germany before and during World War II
A Pagosa Springs man has been arrested and charged on suspicion of participating in the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
According to a federal complaint, Clive Kincaid, 75, is suspected of bypassing barricades and pushing his way past police and into the Capitol building. He is charged with four crimes, including entering the Capitol without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct on restricted grounds; disorderly conduct in the Capitol; and parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol.
Kincaid made an initial court appearance Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Durango.
Robert L. Peters is a man with many names. "Celtic." "The Big Guy." According to congressional investigators, most citizens know him as "President Joe Biden." Aliases are tricky things. They are sometimes innocent or essential like the code name that the Secret Service gives you as part of your protection like "Celtic."
Then there are nicknames that are preferred to your given name. Take "The Big Lebowski." He did not like being called Mr. Lebowski and preferred "Dude" but he was flexible: "I’m The Dude. So, that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or, you know, El Duderino.
In a now widely noted Tablet article, David Garrow pointed out Obama’s fantasies of sexual perversion with men. To that, AT’s Jack Cashill added the dishonesty in Obama’s autobiography regarding the question of his birth and his claim to being the author of his first book. What’s also missing from Obama biographies is his identification with Islam. Obama is, after all, the bearer of two Arabic names, with the second that of the Prophet Muhammed’s grandson.
Throughout my time campaigning for public office, over the course of several Republican Party primaries I ran against an incumbent, as an incumbent, and for an open seat. The last GOP primary I contested was for our party’s nomination for Michigan’s 11th Congressional District in 2002. Fortunately, I was successful in every one of these primaries and, later, in the ensuing general elections. What helped make these latter general election victories possible was the grace and magnanimity of my defeated GOP primary rivals, each of whom supported my campaigns against Democrat opponents.
Migrant smugglers were seen boasting how easy it is to illegally cross the border into America in a confronting clip showing a long line of men entering the U.S. smiling and waving at the camera.
The alarming footage, filmed on May 27 near Lukeville, Arizona, reveals a long line of migrant men casually climbing through a gap in the US-Mexico border wall and meeting no resistance or questioning.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich explained former President Donald Trump's growing support among some groups as being due to his status as a leader, rather than just a candidate.
Gingrich said that perceived corruption within the "political establishment" is driving support for Trump, which will only intensify with his legal troubles, during an interview with Mark Levin on Fox News's Life, Liberty & Levin. "I think that Trump is not a candidate; Trump is the leader of a movement," Gingrich said. "He is the personification of an establishment that is totally corrupt, destroying anything that gets in its way."
Gingrich went on to say that Trump's support has
While democrats celebrated what they consider to a be a victory over MAGA, conservatives recognize the timeless iconic quality of former President Donald Trump’s mugshot as the result of refusing to back down against the deep state.

Veteran meme makers and savvy social media users were quick to recognize the meme potential of the Trump mugshot.
Portland's Predictable Doom Loop

The people elected and selected to run Portland, Oregon, are like kids who get their first car and never think to change the oil. The city is led by a cadre of ardent leftists who thought they could just rev the engine, ignore maintenance, and see the city magically run itself. Instead, they’ve driven the City of Roses into a Doom Loop.
At one time not so long ago, Portland leaders turned the sleepy town into a progressive hub for the creative class, spending billions on 19th-century light rail Choo Choo trains to convey bus riders to their planned utopia. The more the plans failed, the more the planners planned,
