Former President Donald Trump on Saturday thanked his lawyers and senators who voted against his impeachment conviction and foreshadowed his political future in a statement following the 57-43 Senate vote to acquit him of inciting an insurrection.
“I want to first thank my team of dedicated lawyers and others for their tireless work upholding justice and defending truth,” Trump said. “My deepest thanks as well to all of the United States Senators and Members of Congress who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.”
He added: “This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago.”

Biden to throw Israel to the wolves. Is he planning to visit Iran in the near future? Signs of his Jew Hate appear on rejecting sale of F-35’s to UAE, throws in with the Houthis, previously identified as a terrorist organization by the Trump administration; an arch enemy of Saudi Arabia. The signs are here, but not recognized yet by those of the Jewish persuasion. And Biden has yet to contact Netanyahu which provides fodder to the saying that Israel is the United States friend.
Jen Psaki can’t answer whether Israel and Saudi Arabia are ‘important allies’.
Can you please just give us a broad sense of what the administration is trying to achieve in the Middle East?” a reporter asked — in follow-up to an earlier question asking why President Biden has yet to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Well, you know, again, I think we — there are ongoing processes and internal interagency processes — one that we, I think, confirmed an interagency meeting just last week — to discuss a range of issues in the Middle East.
Omar, the suicide bomber from Somalia, a Black Hawk Down country is set to be taking a seat on an important comittee. And unfortunately … her district in Minnesota has sent more of its residents to go fight with ISIS, on their side, than any other district in America. … So she’s got a little bit of a terrorism problem in her backyard that she hasn’t addressed. But you can ‘fail up’ in the United States House – and get a vice chairmanship.”
Hegseth then recounted some past controversies involving Omar, including her “Some people did something” comment about 9/11, other remarks about the “Black Hawk down” tragedy in Somalia that involved U.S. service members and her “all about the Benjamins” quote about Israel.
“We know who she is. … Her view of foreign policy is, it’s all Jewish-financed American imperialism. We’re the problem in the world,” Hegseth said.
Steyn then remarked that it was surprising Omar has advanced in Washington as a foreign-born lawmaker despite a track record of “denigrating” the United States. Hegseth agreed.
The Empire StateMassMurderer has lashed out with a vicious tongued laced diatribe at Pelosi. Apparently he is literally pissed, says he is holding the short end of the stick on the 1,900,000,000 Covid-19 relief bill.
The Madam Stealer has not taken this lambasting quietly, in fact she has launched a hawker towards Cuomo’s face.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday called for a “full accounting” of the circumstances behind an alleged coverup by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration of the number of New Yorkers who died in nursing homes in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pelosi issues ‘rare rebuke‘ after Cuomo claims feds trying to shortchange NY in coronavirus bill: reports
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently isn’t buying New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s claim that congressional Democrats’ proposed coronavirus aid package would not provide enough relief to the Empire State.
The speaker this week sent a letter to New York’s congressional Democrats, touting the federal proposal’s $50 billion in state and local funding for New York as well as $20 billion to “support families’ health, financial security and well-being.”
The proposed amount far exceeds the $15 billion the governor has repeatedly said the state needs to close New York’s budget gap, according to the Times Union of Albany, N.Y., which covers the state’s capital region. The newspaper said it obtained a copy of Pelosi’s letter.

In an amazing display of cognitive dissonance, the Biden administration proposes imposing limits on the movement of American citizens while encouraging the flood of illegal aliens from Mexico and Latin America. His actions are allegedly intended to mitigate the spread of the Chinese COVID virus.
The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.
Outbreaks of the new variants — including a highly contagious one first identified in the United Kingdom, as well as others from South Africa and Brazil that scientists worry can evade existing vaccines — have lent urgency to a review of potential travel restrictions within the United States, one federal official said.
Early last year, I personally witnessed what happens when every car on I-95 is stopped at the Florida border and non-Florida residents are refused entry. This was an early panicky reaction to the virus by Florida leaders. It led to mass disruption, confusion, and a line of cars at least ten miles long stopped dead on the southbound expressway.
The extent of travel restrictions and modes of transportation to potentially be restricted are not defined at this point. Florida is the primary focus for possible travel lockdowns, as a third of U.S. cases of the U.K. COVID variant have been identified in Florida.
Cases of variants are also surging in California and 34 other states, according to the Herald.
The Democrat logic, at least to me, is indecipherable. Rather than potentially throw the country into massive chaos, wouldn’t the best course of action to protect America from foreign COVID mutations be to restrict travel from the countries that are importing them?
Apparently, to Biden and the Dems, it is more desirable to limit the freedoms of American citizens.

Friends,
Joe Biden and his anti-science comrades are used to Republicans rolling over and letting the Radical Left walk all over them.
Now, Joe Biden is considering treating Florida like East Berlin and shutting down our border over “coronavirus concerns,” while allowing illegals to pour across the southern border.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, is now the largest owner of private farmland in the U.S., according to a report by The Land Report. Over the years, Gates, the fourth richest person in the world, has acquired 242,0000 acres of farmland across America.
Biggest Farmland Owner in the U.S.
Gates owns farmland in 18 states. His largest swaths of land are in Louisiana (69,071 acres), Arkansas (47,927 acres) and Nebraska (20,588 acres). He also has 25,750 acres of transitional land near Phoenix, Arizona, which is being developed as a new suburb.

Trump says Murphy ‘threatened’ Ukrainian leader
Washington – During an often rambling defense Wednesday of his phone call to the president of Ukraine, President Donald Trump accused Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy of threatening the Ukrainian leader.
“Senator Chris Murphy literally threatened the president of Ukraine that if he doesn’t do things right, they won’t have Democrat support in Congress,” Trump said at a press conference in New York.
Trump later said unnamed Democratic senators told President Volodymyr Zelensky “you do this, you do that, or we are not going to give you votes” for U.S. aid.
Murphy denied threatening Zelensky.
“I stand by my belief that the president of the United States should never be allowed to use the Oval Office for personal gain, especially when it includes leveraging away the international credibility of the United States,” Murphy said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon.
He also said he was not surprised Trump attacked him on Wednesday since “in a preview” the president’s personal lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said in a televised interview that Murphy should be impeached.
Murphy and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., traveled to Kiev earlier this month, where they met with Zelensky.
Upon returning to Washington D.C., Murphy and Johnson said the Ukrainian president was concerned about $250 million in stalled U.S. foreign aid.
Sen. Chris Murphy
Murphy, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee as well as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he told the Zelensky he would do everything he could to get the money released.
He said he also cautioned Zelensky that if the Ukrainian government received requests from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, that would be different from getting a request from someone connected to the Trump campaign, or to White House politics. Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, had been pressing Ukraine’s government to conduct an investigation of the role played by former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter in a Ukrainian gas company that was once under investigation.
“[Zelesnky] wasn’t surprised that I brought it up … his response was pretty simple: that they have no intention of getting involved in an American election,” Murphy said about his meeting with the Ukrainian president.
In the statement released Wednesday, Murphy said “In the meeting Republican Senator Ron Johnson and I had with President Zelensky three weeks ago, I made it clear to him that Ukraine should not become involved in the 2020 election and that his government should communicate with the State Department, not the president’s campaign. I still believe this to be true.”
The White House on Wednesday released a partial transcript of a call Trump had with Zelensky on July 25. According to that document, Trump asked Zelensky to do him a “favor” after the Ukrainian president said he’d like more military aid from the United States. That “favor” was that his government speak with U.S. Attorney General William Barr and Giuliani about an investigation into the Bidens.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that in pressuring Zelensky to investigate a political rival, Trump had violated the U.S. Constitution. On Tuesday, she announced the House would begin an impeachment inquiry of Trump’s actions in the Ukrainian affair and other conduct by the president.
Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney claimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stopped her son, an active duty Marine, be there for her swearing-in ceremony — but Pelosi’s office tells Fox News the reason for this was due to COVID-19 restrictions put in place by the House Sergeant at Arms and the congressional Attending Physician.
The race for New York’s 22nd Congressional Race, Tenney’s district, wasn’t decided until this week—after more than three months since the November election and dozens of days in court.
A gun control bill that would create a national firearm registry, require licensing and psychological evaluations, government training and insurance was quietly introduced by a Democrat lawmaker in the House of Representatives last month.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee introduced the bill, dubbed “Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act,” on Jan. 4, 2021. The legislation’s name honors a Pakistani exchange student who died during a school shooting in Texas in 2018.
Under the proposed bill, gun owners would be required to purchase $800 insurance that protects the person “against liability for losses and damages resulting from the use of any firearm by the person” for one year.
