DOJ charges Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s former Florida primary opponent with threatening to kill political rival

William Braddock allegedly threatened to send a ‘Russian-Ukrainian hit squad’ to kill his primary opponent

By Danielle Wallace

The Justice Department charged a former primary opponent of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., with threatening to send a “Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” to kill his political rival. 

William Robert Braddock III, 41, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was charged with threatening to kill his primary opponent in the 2021 election for the 13th Congressional District of Florida, and a private citizen and acquaintance of his opponent, the Justice Department announced Friday. The indictment, unsealed in the Middle District of Florida on Thursday, describes the targeted individuals as only “Victim 1” and “Victim 2.” 

On June 8, 2021, prosecutors say Braddock allegedly made several threats to injure and kill his primary opponent during a phone call with the second victim, specifically stating that he would “call up my Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” to make the rival candidate disappear. The DOJ said Braddock left the United States after making the alleged threats and was later found to be residing in the Philippines.  (Click to continue reading)

I left the Democrat Party and will do all I can to return Donald Trump to the White House

 by Tulsi Gabbard

This morning, I had the privilege of visiting Arlington Cemetery with President Trump and the Gold Star families of SSG Hoover and SGT Gee, two of the thirteen servicemembers who were killed in the attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul three years ago today.

Being there with President Trump, honoring the lives of those who sacrificed all, I saw firsthand the sorrow he shared with the families left behind, expressing his sincere appreciation the sacrifices made by their loved ones, our brothers and sisters, who paid the ultimate price.

This is personal for me. My first deployment to Iraq was with the Hawaii Army National Guard in 2005 where I served in a medical unit, every day confronted with the high cost of war. We lost so many of our brothers and sisters who never made that long trip home, and others who did come home, only to lose them to suicide.

President Trump understands the grave responsibility that our President and Commander in Chief has for us and our families, and values the lives of every one of us — Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines and Coasties. He knows the cost of war. It’s not just lip service.  During his first term as President, he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate tensions and prevent conflict. He understands the cost of war and has shown he will exhaust all measures of diplomacy, having the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators and allies alike in the pursuit of peace, seeing war as a last resort.  (Continue Reading)

Activists challenged on Oct. 7 Hamas terror at pro-Palestinian campus ‘fair’ in Wisconsin

Lawrence Jones challenges female activists on rapes committed by Hamas

By Bailee Hill

“Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones visited a pro-Palestinian “fair” at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to talk with activists as antisemitism continues to engulf college campuses nationwide. 

“We’re here to really advocate for Palestinians, for Gaza,” one activist told Jones on Tuesday. “We’re advocating, honestly, for just… humanity.”

“There’s also a lot more casualties on the Palestinian side than there is on the Israeli side,” another activist chimed in. 

“And I’m not trying to like, compare the sides, but a lot of people are like, ‘oh my God, October 7th, October 7th,’ but like, no, this is since 1948.”

“People are saying, well, but what about the Jewish community that is under attack as well? The women that were raped, the kids that were put into ovens,” Jones said. 

One activist turned to the other activist and questioned the legitimacy of the claims that women and children were raped and tortured during the Oct. 7 massacre. She said she thought those claims were debunked.  (Continue Reading)

Trump says NY Judge Merchan ‘thinks he is above the Supreme Court’ after barring him from immunity arguments

New York Judge Juan Merchan has prohibited Trump from attending presidential immunity arguments at the US Supreme Court

By Brooke Singman

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump said New York Judge Juan Merchan “thinks he is above the Supreme Court,” after “prohibiting” him from attending arguments Thursday on presidential immunity, telling Fox News Digital it is “the most important case in many years” before the high court. 

The former president and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee spoke exclusively to Fox News Digital on Wednesday after spending the last two days in a Manhattan courtroom for opening arguments and witness testimony in his unprecedented criminal trial. 

Trump had requested to attend arguments at the Supreme Court when it holds oral arguments about the former president’s immunity on Thursday, but Judge Merchan, who is presiding over the trial, rejected that request. (Continue Reading)

Pelosi running again brings no sympathy from me…

I wasn’t surprised to see that Pelosi is running again because letting go of power is quite difficult for some.  However, I have no sympathy for those who live in her District, if they vote to keep her.  At that point, in my opinion, they ask for all the woes their district must then continue to endure.  So be it.  No sympathy from me.

Open Letter to Governor Kemp

Dear Gov. Kemp,

Obviously, there was election interference in the 2020 election. There was also a lack of a thorough investigation before the certifications. I still remember ole Barr saying that while there was fraud, there wasn’t enough to change the outcome. How would he know the latter when a “thorough” investigation couldn’t be done in that short a time? Regardless, I can see why President Trump would be a bit upset about how it was all handled and not handled and all the last-minute changes that shouldn’t have been allowed. You don’t change the rules in the middle of the game.

Now, to the matter at hand.

You think Trump should have been on the debate stage? Really?

For one thing, people know his position. We all lived through the results of his policies and the actions he took. Been there. So, why would we need him to tell us what we already should know?

On the other hand…

Do you really think it would be fair if he got up on that debate stage and everyone was allowed to hit him with allegations involving all these indictments, only for him not to be allowed to respond or could be in trouble with the court if he did?

You know, as well as I do, that if Trump refused to answer because of a court order, some libs and other Trump haters would run with the claim that he must be guilty or he would have answered. That’s how some of them play – dirty.

I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond tired of the dirty tricks and outright gaslighting that has been and continues to transpire.

I’m tired of people thinking that it’s okay to do whatever because, after all, it is “only” Trump.

I’m tired of people thinking Trump has no rights, especially the right to be upset when he is wrongly treated and wrongly accused.

Funny, how so many would be upset if treated like Trump, yet thinking it is okay when done to him.

I don’t like those kind of people. Do you?

Just a little trip back in time…

Do you remember when Trump was accused of mocking the “disability” of a reporter? He didn’t. What he did was a gesture representing frustration or of one being flustered which he had used for years. (If he were to mock Serge’s disability it wouldn’t be with that gesture.) That’s right, he didn’t mock the reporter’s disability, but millions were told he did and many still spread that lie to this day. It makes him appear to be something he is not and why many don’t like him. But… oh well… it’s only Trump.

How about when Trump used the “saying”… “blood in her eyes?” Remember how they made up a new meaning for that saying and tried to make it that he insulted Megyn Kelly (a woman) and somehow how it was a reference to menstruation? Boy, was that a reach, but lots of people not growing up with the saying believed the lie. Once again, this paints a picture of Trump that is untrue.

We’ve probably all been lied about at some point in our lives, but the media has never gone after you and me with such intense determination to destroy us, such as they have Trump.

I could name lots of lies told about Trump, but I don’t think I need to. I think just the few mentioned here should be enough to make the point.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve said things like, “I guess I’ll have to go rob a bank.” Of course, I didn’t mean it literally. It was just a way of saying “That’s a lot of money.” However, if I were treated like Trump, your little DA might try to indict me, too.

The point being, that just because someone says something doesn’t mean they mean it the way others are presenting it. That should matter. Others have no right – or shouldn’t have – to try to change the meaning and intent of the person commenting. When they do – they are at the very least – liars or ignorant puppets.

I know for a fact there was election interference in 2020. No doubt, in my opinion, it was enough to change the outcome. I also know there was absolutely no way that a thorough investigation was done when Barr announced there was fraud but not enough to change the results. But see… none of this matters. Too many in the media and powerful places are determined to find fault with Trump and accuse him of things he is not guilty of. Yet, you think he should get on that debate stage when he can’t readily defend himself? You think he should make himself an even bigger target and give a chance for the hate-Trumpers, DOJ, DA, FBI, and pals to twist his words or claim his silence is, and was, a sign of guilt?

I don’t think so.

In my opinion, rather than claim Trump is a loser for not getting on the debate stage, perhaps you should be calling the people losers who are weaponizing their offices, agencies, and positions to go after someone… anyone… and in this case – Trump. As I always say, if someone will do something wrong to one person – they’ll do it to anyone. They can’t be trusted.

Yep. Perhaps you should turn your focus from the debate stage and instead take a real good look at what is actually transpiring. Then ask yourself how you would feel if it were happening to you or yours. You only have to think it, so you don’t have to worry about the media or Trump haters – you can be honest.

Really, how would you feel and react? What would you do if it were you they were after, rather than Trump?

Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen
