    Republican Congressman Ends Senate Campaign Days After Launching Bid

      Days after announcing his campaign for Senate, Congressman Matt Rosendale (Mont.) is ending his campaign.

      On Friday, Rosendale released a statement explaining the quick decision to end his campaign.

      “Instead of one of those phony statements from politicians, here’s my statement on why I’m withdrawing my candidacy for the U.S. Senate,” Rosendale said in a statement. “As everyone knows, I have planned to run for the U.S. Senate and to win both the primary and the general election. However, the day I announced, President Trump then announced that he was endorsing a different candidate.”

      “I have long been a supporter of the president, and remain so,” he continued. “But I have been forced to calculate what my chances of success would be with Trump supporting my opponent. This race was already going to be tough, as I was fighting against Mitch McConnell and the rest of the Republican establishment in Washington. But I felt like I could beat them, as the voters do not agree with them choosing who would be the next U.S. Senator from Montana.”

      Rosendale said that Trump’s endorsement of retired U.S. Navy SEAL and businessman Tim Sheehy meant that he would not have the resources needed to win the primary.

      Rosendale shared he spoke with Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and they agreed that it was best for the party’s chances to regain control of the U.S. Senate if he ended his campaign.

      Daines responded to Rosendale’s announced on X, writing: “I appreciate Matt’s many years of service to Montana. It will take all Republicans working together to defeat Jon Tester in November.”

However, now that President Biden is in office celebrities are flooding back, take none other than Elton John’s upcoming performance on the White House lawn as evidence.

        DeSantis Suggests Musk Pursue Constitutional Amendments Instead Of Establishing New Political Party

        Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that billionaire CEO Elon Musk push for balanced budget and congressional term limit amendments to the U.S. Constitution, rather than build a new political party.

        Musk, who has been outspoken about the need to rein in government spending, announced that he is launching a new political party called the America Party. 

        “Backing a candidate for president is not out of the question, but the focus for the next 12 months is on the House and the Senate,” he noted in a post on X.

        The governor suggested that if Musk funds candidates in competitive Senate and House contests, Democrats will likely win.

        But DeSantis acknowledged that the GOP has an issue with people running on spending less, but then failing to do so. “There’s a gap between the campaign rhetoric, and then the performance,” he said.

        He explained that he does not believe “electing a few better people” will alter the “trajectory” on the debt issue.

        DeSantis said that the “incentives” in D.C. will “lead to these outcomes, really, regardless of the outcome of elections at this point,” asserting that a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution is needed.

        Musk “would have a monumental impact” if he got involved, DeSantis said.

        Billionaire Elon Musk announced the launch of his new political party on Saturday, but has yet to share any further details on how he plans to navigate the red tape to establish a viable alternative.

        Musk on Saturday appeared to confirm his intention to launch his “America Party,” after posting a poll to his X account the prior day asking followers whether or not he should create the new party.

        “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” he wrote. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

        Elon Musk’s plan to launch a new US political party could split the Republicans, Donald Trump’s allies have warned.

        Republican Congressman Calls For Swift Investigation Following Disturbing Office Discovery

        Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) is calling for a full investigation after a disturbing image surfaced showing what appeared to be an altered American flag — twisted into a swastika — displayed behind one of his staffers during a virtual meeting.

        The image, first reported by Politico and amplified on social media by an Ohio blogger, quickly drew outrage. But Taylor’s office says it may not be what it appears.

        “I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office,” Taylor said in a statement. “The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms.”

        Taylor emphasized that he acted immediately, directing Capitol Police to investigate what he described as a potentially malicious act.

        “Upon learning of this matter, I immediately directed a thorough investigation alongside Capitol Police, which remains ongoing,” the statement continued.

        A spokesperson for the congressman suggested the image might have been the result of “foul play or vandalism,” not any endorsement of the offensive imagery by his staff. The photo appeared to show Angelo “AJ” Elia, a legislative correspondent who joined Taylor’s office in January, sitting at his cubicle with the doctored flag visible behind him.

        Elia — who recently earned a master’s degree in legislative affairs from George Washington University — has not commented publicly. Taylor’s office has not said whether any personnel actions have been taken while the investigation proceeds.

        The controversy comes amid renewed scrutiny of conservative youth organizations after Politico reported on leaked Telegram messages allegedly showing racist and anti-Semitic comments from some Young Republican leaders. The timing of the leak, combined with the sudden surfacing of the photo from Taylor’s office, has raised questions among some Republicans about whether politically motivated actors are attempting to smear conservatives ahead of the 2024 election cycle.

        The image was first posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ohio blogger DJ Byrnes, who claimed a friend had a Zoom meeting with Taylor’s office and noticed the symbol. “A friend in DC had a Zoom call with Congressman Dave Taylor’s office today … Taylor’s legislative correspondent, Angelo Elia, had what can only be described as an American swastika flag prominently displayed in his background,” Byrnes wrote Wednesday.

        ‘I Love Trump’ Tucker Carlson Addresses Private Text Fiasco

        Tucker Carlson is clearing the air after his private text messages revealed his hidden hatred for former President Donald Trump.

        The Fox News star tried to walk back his private remarks about Trump during an appearance on WABC radio.

        “And I think this is in the text, and those were all grabbed completely illegitimately, in my opinion, in this court case, which I guess I’m not allowed to talk about, but I’m enraged that my private texts were pulled,” he said.

        The Fox News host said those texts were pulled at a moment when he was texting with one of his producers because “some idiot on the Trump campaign had sent us the name of these dead voters who had voted,” referring to his false reporting after the 2020 election that echoed the Trump campaign’s unfounded claims of dead people who were fraudulently counted as voting in Georgia. After Carlson’s segment aired, a local Georgia news outlet debunked his claim, finding that two of the allegedly dead voters were alive and legally registered to vote, with CNN reporting days later that a third of the supposedly dead voters was also still living.

        “And we went and I repeated them on air, and it turns out some of them were alive,” Carlson said, referring to the campaign’s accusation. “So I was just — I felt humiliated.”

        Earlier this month, Carlson’s along with other prominent Fox News officials’ private text messages were revealed in court documents as part of a $1.6 billion Dominion Voting Systems defamation suit against the network.

        During a Jan. 4, 2021 text conversation with an unknown producer, Carlson sounded off on the former president.

        The prime-time star wrote, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.”

        The unknown staffer reportedly speculated that they believed the madness would cool down by “mid-February.”

        “I hate him passionately,” Carlson replied. “I blew up at [former Trump official] Peter Navarro today in frustration. I actually like Peter. But I can’t handle much more of this.”

        Pelosi Predicts Trump Skips Upcoming Kamala Debate

        Pelosi is peddling desperate lies…

        Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) predicted that former president Donald Trump will back out of his next debate.

        Pelosi appeared at the Texas Tribune Festival over the weekend where she spoke to journalist Kara Swisher about a variety of topics before signing copies of her latest book. Pelosi spent much of the time ripping Trump and turned up the vitriol when Tuesday’s highly anticipated ABC News Presidential Debate came up. 

        Swisher asked Pelosi what advice she would give former President Trump ahead of the matchup with Harris. The 84-year-old Pelosi quipped, “You think he’s gonna show up?”

        The largely liberal audience burst into laughter, followed by applause, as Pelosi slightly smiled. 

        Swisher asked, “Do you know something I don’t know?”

        “I know cowardice when I see it,” Pelosi responded. 

        Watch:

        The Trump campaign dismissed Pelosi’s suggestion of the former president skipping the debate as “fake news.”

        “Nancy Pelosi has no idea what she is talking about and has been proven to be a liar and fraud. If she isn’t busy giving herself fake titles to make herself feel better, she’s peddling fake news because it’s the only thing she’s ever done,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.

        Pelosi and Trump have a long history of animosity toward each other, regularly trading barbs over the years. In 2020, Pelosi famously tore her printed copy of Trump’s State of the Union address immediately after he finished addressing a Joint Session of Congress.

        Trump and Harris are scheduled to debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. 

        Despite Pelosi’s best attempts to stir up trouble, the Trump campaign also released details of Trump’s scheduled arrival in the City of Brotherly Love. Air Force Trump is scheduled to land in Philadelphia at 6:30 pm on Tuesday.

          Eric Trump Suggests Possibility Of ‘Inside Job’ In Second Assassination Attempt On Donald Trump

          Eric Trump raised concerns about the second assassination attempt on his father, former President Donald Trump, suggesting that it might have been an “inside job” during a Monday interview with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show.

          The remarks came after the arrest of Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, who is accused of attempting to assassinate Trump at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Federal and local authorities confirmed Routh’s apprehension on Sunday.

          When Kelly asked whether the attack could have been an inside job, Eric Trump urged viewers to “entertain everything.”

          “Everybody had better entertain it… twice in five weeks, you better start entertaining all of those scenarios, because something is very, very wrong,” he stated, expressing disbelief at how Routh, armed with an AK-style rifle, crossed a major highway in broad daylight without detection.

          Eric Trump questioned how the alleged gunman was able to breach multiple layers of security and get within close range of his father during the incident. “He literally got across all of that holding a long gun, and no one saw this? There weren’t eyes on the street?” he asked.

          He concluded by emphasizing the need to enhance security measures around the former president, stating, “We better really start locking down this perimeter, because something is awfully wrong… the world knows they are trying to get him.”

          WHCA Dinner Shooting Suspect Enters Plea In Trump Assassination Case

            On Monday, the suspect accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents Association dinner pleaded not guilty to four federal charges. 

            Cole Allen, 31, entered the plea in federal court Monday morning. 

            Allen allegedly attempted to breach the event at the Washington Hilton, where Trump and senior officials were present. The suspect was apprehended, and a federal officer was injured but survived, officials said.

            According to investigators, Allen allegedly stormed a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives—triggering panic at the high-profile event packed with journalists and political elites.

            Authorities say Allen left behind a disturbing manifesto outlining what appears to be a calculated plan to target members of the Trump administration.

            In the writings, he described prioritizing officials “from highest-ranking to lowest,” suggesting a methodical approach to the attack.

            He also made clear he was willing to harm others if necessary to reach his intended targets.

            In one particularly unsettling detail, Allen referenced his choice of ammunition—claiming he selected buckshot “to minimize casualties,” even as he prepared for violence.

            Allen faces charges of attempting to assassinate Trump and assaulting an officer or employee of the United States with a deadly weapon, in addition to two other firearms-related charges: transportation of a firearm and ammunition through interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony and using, carrying, brandishing and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.  

            The alleged gunman has agreed to remain detained ahead of trial.

            Trump Confronted On Air Force One About Running Again – His Answer Will Trigger A Liberal Meltdown

            Trump can’t resist trolling the Left…

            On Sunday, President Trump addressed speculation he could be angling to attempt to pursue another term in the White House despite being term-limited by the Constitution.

            Trump has been floating the idea of blowing off term limits for years, and one Republican has already introduced an amendment to allow it. During an interview with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker over the weekend, President Trump joked that he would consider running for a “fourth term.”

            On his way back from Mar-a-Lago Sunday, Trump emerged into the press cabin on Air Force One to take questions from reporters and was confronted about his latest remarks.

            Read:

            Q: You said you were not joking about possibly wanting a third term. Does that mean you’re not planning to leave office on January 20?

            POTUS: “I’m not looking at that but I’ll tell you, I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the other election, the 2020 election was totally rigged, so it’s actually sort of a fourth term. I just don’t want the credit for the second because Biden was so bad, he did such a bad job, and I think that’s one of the reasons that I’m popular, if you want to know the truth.

            “I think I’m popular because we’ve done a great job. I think we’ve had the best hundred days of almost any president. Most people are saying that and it’s an honour, bringing back our country. We’re respected as a country again. We’re strongly respected and people are amazed.

            “I was with some very important people today and they said they’ve never seen a turnaround of a country as fast as this. Even look at our border. We have nobody coming in and you can’t come into our country; you have to come in legally. We have nobody coming into our country. It’s almost shut down.”

            Q: The constitution limits a president to two terms –

            POTUS: “I don’t even want to talk about it. I’m just telling you I have had more people saying, please run again. We have a long way to go before we even think about that but I’ve had a lot of people.”

            Q: Do you think that’s an appropriate precedent to set, even if it’s not you in that position?

            POTUS: “I don’t even want to talk about a third term now because no matter how you look at it, you’ve got a long time to go. We have a long time. We have almost four years to go and that’s a long time but despite that so many people are saying you’ve got to run again. They love the job we’re doing. Most importantly they love the job we’re doing.”

            Watch:

            The US Constitution seems to rule out anyone having a third term. The 22nd Amendment states:

            “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once.”

            Changing the constitution would require a two-thirds approval from both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as approval from three-quarters of the country’s state-level governments.

            However, some Trump supporters have argued there is a loophole in the Constitution, untested in court.

            They argue that the 22nd Amendment only explicitly bans someone being “elected” to more than two presidential terms – and says nothing of “succession”.

            Under this theory, Trump could be the vice-presidential running-mate to another candidate – perhaps his own vice-president, JD Vance – in the 2028 election.

            If they win, the candidate could be sworn into the White House and then immediately resign – letting Trump take over by succession.
