GOP Congressman Threatens Tucker Carlson

4
Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America,

Rep.ย Dan Crenshawย (R-Texas) threatened former Fox News host Tucker Carlson during a Monday interview, saying if he ever met the pundit, he would โ€œfโ€‘โ€‘โ€‘ing killโ€ him.

Speaking to British journalist Steven Edginton from GB News, Crenshaw slammed Carlson for his opposition to sending funds to Ukraine.

Earlier in the interview, Edginton had asked Crenshaw about the argument that money being spent on Ukraine could be spent on other things.

โ€œJust coming back to this $100 billion to Ukraine, I know that people like Tucker Carlson will make the argument that thereโ€™s a real opportunity cost there, we could have spent that money on the border or fixing issues in America,โ€ Edginton said in the interview clip. โ€œWhat do you make of that argument?โ€

Crenshaw replied that โ€œyou can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.โ€

โ€œWe spent 75-80 percent of our budget on a welfare state in America, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. I would love to ask Tucker what he thinks that $100 billion should be spent on and if he would vote on it as a conservative,โ€ Crenshaw said. โ€œTucker doesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s talking about.โ€

โ€œHave you ever met Tucker?โ€ Edginton asked after the interview ended.

โ€œWeโ€™ve talked a lot on Twitter,โ€ Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who has a history of trading online insults with Carlson, said. โ€œIf I ever meet him, Iโ€™ll fโ€‘โ€‘โ€‘ing kill him.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s the worst,โ€ the Texas lawmaker added.

In his post on X, Edginton noted that Crenshaw said he would kill Carlson, adding: โ€œI laughed it off. He said: โ€˜No seriously, I would kill him.โ€™โ€

The congressman later implied he was joking while replying to outrage from Rep.ย Marjorie Taylor Greeneย (R-GA).

Crenshawโ€™s reply was met with an X Community Note that read, โ€œDan Crenshaw did threaten Tucker Carlsonโ€™s life. His comment was caught on โ€˜hot micโ€™ A/V recording.

Carlsonย replied to the lawmakerย in a Monday post and invited him to sit for an interview.

โ€œWhy donโ€™t you come sit for an interview and weโ€™ll see how you do?โ€ Carlson said. โ€œIโ€™ll send you my address, @DanCrenshawTX.โ€

Don Lemon Calls Trump Supporters โ€˜Dumb F—ing Idiots,โ€™ During Meltdown

Former CNN host Don Lemonย unloaded on MAGA supportersย in an expletive-filled rant posted to his YouTube channel.ย 

Lemon called supporters ofย President-elect Donald Trumpย “dumb f—ing idiots” and mocked their “stupid MAGA brain,” during anย episode of the Don Lemon Show.ย 

“You’re so f—ing stupid and you deserve it. You f—ing deserve it because you’re so dumb,” he said. “Yes, I am gloating over your stupidity.”

“Youโ€™ve been co-opted because you’re in a f—ing cult and you don’t even realize it because you have stupid MAGA brain and you don’t get it,” he added. “How stupid and dumb are you?” 

Last week the MAGA base splintered after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, co-chairs of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), shared their support for H-1B visas for skilled laborers.ย 

However other Republicans such as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, is against H-1B visas. Bannon called the visas a “scam” that “takes American jobs and brings over what essentially become indentured servants at lower wages” on his “War Room” podcast.ย 

Trump sided with Musk and Ramaswamyย over the weekend, stating his support for H-1B visas.ย 

โ€œIโ€™ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. Thatโ€™s why we have them,โ€ Trump told the New York Post Saturday.

Trump said that he recognizes the visas on his properties, saying, โ€œIโ€™ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. Itโ€™s a great program.โ€

Lemon wasย fired from CNN in April 2023ย after a series of scandals, including alienating female viewers and conservative audiences.ย 

Trump Announces 10% Global Tariff While Blasting SCOTUS Ruling

Presidentย Donald Trumpย strongly criticised the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision that ruled he does not have the authority to levy sweeping tariffs under a specific emergency powers law, saying he will pursue “alternatives” to tariffs under the emergency law.

“Other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the court incorrectly rejected,” Trump said during a White House press briefing Friday afternoon. “We have alternatives. Great alternatives. Could be more money. We’ll take in more money, and we’ll be a lot stronger for it. We’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We’ll continue to do so.”

The president also announced he is imposing a 10% “global tariff” following the court’s decision.

“Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under section 122 over and above our normal tariffs already being charged,” Trump said. “And we’re also initiating several section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies.”

The Supreme Court blocked Trump’s tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in what amounts to a consequential test of the executive branch’s authority.ย 

Trump called the ruling “deeply disappointing,” saying he was “ashamed” of certain members of the court.

“I’m ashamed of certain members of the court, absolutely ashamed, for not having the courage to do what’s right for our country,” the president said. “In actuality, I was very modest in my ask of other countries and businesses becauseโ€ฆ I wanted to be very well-behaved.

“I didn’t want to do anything that would affect the decision of the court, because I understand the court. I understand how they are very easily swayed. I want to be a good boy. I have very effectively utilized tariffs over the past year to make America great again,” he said.

Thanksgiving Turnaround: Americans Finally See Relief Under President Trump

    1

    As millions of families gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, many are finally beginning to feel a long-awaited sense of financial reliefโ€”relief that President Donald J. Trump has been fighting tirelessly to deliver.

    After inheriting the worst inflation crisis in 40 years from Joe Biden and Democrat leadership, the renewed Trump Administration has moved swiftly to correct course: unleashing American energy, slashing crushing regulations, and tackling inflation at its roots. While there is still much work ahead, these policies are already translating into meaningful, tangible improvements for American families.

    This Thanksgiving, those improvements are showing up where it matters most: at the gas pump and the grocery store.

    The Job Isnโ€™t Finishedโ€”But the Turnaround Has Begun

    No one on the right is declaring โ€œmission accomplished.โ€ American families are still paying far more than they should after four years of reckless federal spending, regulatory overreach, and economic mismanagement. But for the first time in years, the trendlines are finally headed in the right direction.

    Local news outlets across the country are reporting the same story: lower gas prices, cheaper Thanksgiving dinners, and early signs of an economy beginning to heal.

    Below are some of the highlights from communities nationwide.


    Falling Gas Prices Coast to Coast

    Denver, CO โ€” Gas Dips Below $2

    KDVR-TV reports Denver-area gas prices have fallen 14.5 cents in just one week, with at least one station dropping below $2 a gallonโ€”levels not seen in years. At $2.47 on average, Denver prices are well under the national average and significantly lower than last year.

    San Antonio, TX โ€” Pandemic-Era Lows

    KSAT-TV notes that Thanksgiving travelers in Texas are seeing some of the cheapest prices since the pandemicโ€”welcome relief for families crisscrossing the state this holiday season.

    Indiana & Louisiana โ€” Steady Declines

    From Indianaโ€™s 12.3-cent drop reported by WBIW Radio to broad decreases across Louisiana, drivers are finally getting a break after years of painful price hikes.

    Ohio, New Hampshire & Pennsylvania โ€” A Return to Normal

    Stations in Northeast Ohio, New Hampshire, and Pittsburgh are reporting sharp declines, with some areas seeing gas below $3 againโ€”something unthinkable throughout most of the Biden years.


    Thanksgiving Dinner: Meaningfully Cheaper for Millions

    It isnโ€™t just fuel costs that are improving. For the third year in a row, the cost of the traditional Thanksgiving meal is fallingโ€”and this yearโ€™s decreases are especially notable.

    Iowa & Midwest โ€” Turkey Prices Down

    KIMT-TV highlights a 5% overall drop in meal costs in Iowa, with falling turkey and wheat prices leading the way.

    Michigan โ€” Below the National Average

    The Detroit Free Press confirms that Michigan families will spend roughly $51.80 for a dinner serving 10โ€”well below the national average.

    Louisiana โ€” One of the Cheapest States in America

    According to The Shreveport Times, Louisianaโ€™s average Thanksgiving dinner cost is just $44.70โ€”the second lowest in the entire country.

    Arizona, Illinois & New York โ€” Broad-Based Relief

    From Arizonaโ€™s modest price drop to Illinoisโ€™ 16% decline in turkey prices and New Yorkโ€™s third consecutive year of lower dinner costs, the story is consistent: Thanksgiving is becoming more affordable again.


    A Promising Start to an American Comeback

    None of these improvements happened by accident.

    They are the result of a renewed commitment to American energy dominance, the deregulation of key industries, and an economic strategy focused squarely on the needs of working familiesโ€”not bureaucrats or special interests.

    Biden Defense Department Tells Soldiers To Treat Pro-life Americans As Potential Terrorists

    4
    Washington D.C., USA - January 22, 2015; A Pro-Life woman clashes with a group of Pro-Choice demonstrators at the U.S. Supreme Court.

    A group of United States senators and representatives are demanding answers after United States military servicemembers received anti-terrorism training that included instructions to consider pro-life Americans as potential terrorists.

    It is unclear why the military would be training for combat against Americans on American soil.

    Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Ted Budd (R-NC), along with Representative Richard Hudson (R-NC) and their colleagues, โ€œsent a letter to Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth demanding answers after an anti-terrorism training conducted at Fort Liberty, North Carolina depicted Pro-Life Americans as terrorists,โ€ Lankfordโ€™s office reports.

    โ€œWe write regarding social media reports that anti-terrorism training conducted at Ft. Liberty, North Carolina depicts Pro-Life Americans as terrorists. Specifically, the slides identify National Right to Life, โ€˜Choose Lifeโ€™ license plate holders, and anyone who opposes the Supreme Courtโ€™s rightfully overturned decision in Roe v. Wade, which was rightfully overturned by the Supreme Court, as members of terrorist groups. Smearing Pro-Life Americans is despicable and emblematic of the ongoing politicization of the military under the Biden-Harris Administration,โ€ the Members wrote.

    The National Right to Life Committee is a peaceful mainstream conservative organization.  The training did not mention pro-abortion groups such as โ€œJaneโ€™s Revenge,โ€ which have been engaged in a nationwide campaign of domestic terrorist attacks on pregnancy centers and Catholic churches.

    โ€œIt is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women to join its ranks when it appears the service attacks their values and promotes a woke agenda rather than improving readiness and lethalityโ€ฆThe American people deserve to be assured that these slides truly do not reflect the Armyโ€™s views, that a full investigation will be conducted, and that any offending employees will be properly held accountable. Finally, we must be assured that similar materials are not being utilized at other installations across the Army,โ€ the Members continued.

    Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Barrasso (R-WY), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Tom Cotton (R-AR), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Steve Daines (R-MT), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Todd Young (R-IN), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Mike Braun (R-IN), Jim Risch (R-ID), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Mike Crapo (R-ID), and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) also signed the letter. 

    The letter is supported by Catholic Vote, National Right to Life Committee, Family Research Council, Americans United for Life, Concerned Women for America, Students for Life Action, SBA Pro-Life America, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, and ACLJ Action.

    The letter reads:

    Dear Secretary Wormuth,

    We write regarding social media reports that anti-terrorism training conducted at Ft. Liberty, North Carolina depicts Pro-Life Americans as terrorists. Specifically, the slides identify National Right to Life, โ€œChoose Lifeโ€ license plate holders, and anyone who opposes the Supreme Courtโ€™s rightfully overturned decision in Roe v. Wade,which was rightfully overturned by the Supreme Court, as members of terrorist groups. Smearing Pro-Life Americans is despicable and emblematic of the ongoing politicization of the military under the Biden-Harris Administration.

    The American public expects the Department of Defense and its personnel to defend the homeland from actual terrorists, not Americans who seek protections for children in the womb. Labeling Pro-Life organizations as threats challenges servicemembersโ€™ moral obligation to defend and protect even the smallest among us. In fact, around half of all Americans identify as Pro-Life. It is no wonder that the Army is struggling to recruit young men and women to join its ranks when it appears the service attacks their values and promotes a woke agenda rather than improving readiness and lethality.

    We understand that the anti-terrorism slide was in fact briefed to a group of soldiers as recently as July 10th. What is unclear is how long these slides have been utilized at Ft. Liberty and whether similar briefings have been used at other installations. We also understand from a statement released by Ft. Liberty that these slides were not vetted by appropriate approval authorities.  

    While Ft. Libertyโ€™s statement asserts that the slides โ€œdo not reflect the views of the โ€ฆ US Army or the Department of Defenseโ€, the American people are rightfully concerned that training of this kind is being disseminated in the first place and possibly at other military installations. The American people deserve to be assured that these slides truly do not reflect the Armyโ€™s views, that a full investigation will be conducted, and that any offending employees will be properly held accountable. Finally, we must be assured that similar materials are not being utilized at other installations across the Army. 

    Therefore, we request responses to the following questions no later than July 29, 2024: 

    Is it official Army policy to identify Pro-Life Americans and Pro-Life Organizations as โ€œterrorist groupsโ€?

    How long have these slides been briefed to soldiers and how many soldiers have been briefed with these slides? 

    What is the current process by which the Army reviews anti-terrorism training materials disseminated on Army bases? 

    Who are the appropriate approval authorities charged with vetting training materials disseminated to soldiers across the Army?

    What action is the Army taking to investigate the distribution of training materials depicting Pro-Life Americans as terrorists? 

    What statutes or Army regulations were potentially violated and what action is the Army taking with regard to any offending employee? 

    Will you commit to an installation-by-installation review to ensure that these or similar materials are not being disseminated elsewhere and that Army anti-terrorism training aligns with DoD anti-terrorism standard guidance and training? 

    Will you commit, in writing, that these slides will no longer be used and all future training materials reviewed will align with current DoD anti-terrorism guidance?  

    We look forward to your prompt attention and response.

    MAGA Representative to Introduce Bill Designating Antifa as Terrorist Org. after Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’ Set Ablaze

      House Republicans want to hold Antifa accountable after demonstrators allegedly set fire to the construction site of an Atlanta public safety training facility anti-police and environment activists dubbed “Cop City” Sunday evening.

      Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she plans to introduce legislation to declare Antifa as a terrorist organization.

      “Antifa are domestic terrorists and I’m introducing my resolution to officially declare them a terrorist organization on Tuesday,” Rep. Green tweeted while sharing a video of the fire.

      โ€œThis is domestic terrorism. It was planned for weeks and announced on social media. Antifa are self proclaimed communists and consistently organize to attack our government over and over again. They should be taken seriously and not tolerated anymore,โ€ sheย tweeted.

      Fox 5 reported Sunday that the facility was on lockdown after at least one construction vehicle was set on fire amid the latest protests on Sunday.

      A progressive group called โ€œStop Cop Cityโ€ has been protesting against the new 85-acre training facility being built in the wooded parts of DeKalb County, Atlanta since plans for it were announced, arguing it will promote the militarization of the police and may result in environmental concerns.

      On Monday, the Atlanta Police Department (APD) confirmed that a group of “agitators” left the nearby South River Music Festival around 5:30 p.m. and descended on the construction site of the proposed Atlanta Public Safety Training Center “to conduct a coordinated attack on construction equipment and police officers,” the APD said in a statement. 

      Authorities noted that agitators changed into black clothing and allegedly began to throw commercial-grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, large rocks, and bricks at police officers. Antifa is known to use similar tactics.

      Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum said Sundayโ€™s incident marked a “significant escalation” both in the level of violence and the number of individuals involved in the attack.

      “This wasnโ€™t about a public safety training center. This was about anarchy, and this was about an attempt to destabilize. And we are addressing that quickly,” Schierbaum told reporters. “Actions such as this will not be tolerated. You attack law enforcement officers, you damage equipment, you are breaking the law. This was a very violent attack that occurred this evening.” 

      The FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigation have joined the probe, he said. 

      Atlanta police said at least 35 people had been detained as of Sunday night. Charging decisions have yet to be announced.

      “Some of those arrested yesterday were from Massachusetts and New York and France and Canada. So this is a national network, an international group of people that are organized to come to our state to undermine a public safety training center,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said in an appearance on Fox News Monday morning. 

      “This is not a protest,” the chief added. “I made a clear distinction of what a protest looks like. When it is a legitimate protest, you have the full protection of the Atlanta Police Department. This is not a protest. This is criminal activity. And the charges that will be brought forth will show that.” 

      Before Sunday, at least 19 people had been arrested and charged with domestic terrorism since December in connection to demonstrations at the “Cop City” site. 

      In January, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) issued a state of emergency after protests broke out in response to a police shooting of an activist during an operation to clear out the construction site for the facility.

        Rep. Dan Crenshaw Shares Personal News on Mother’s Day

          Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America,

          Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw shared some big news over the weekend.

          The Texas Republican announced Sunday that he and wife Tara Crenshaw are expecting a daughter.

          The baby news came as the 39-year-old lawmaker shared a Motherโ€™s Day messageย on Instagram, saying that the holiday has always been โ€œa bit difficultโ€ for him after losing his own mom when he was a child.

          โ€œSusan Crenshaw was 40 years old when she lost her battle to breast cancer,โ€ Crenshaw said.

          โ€œBut this year is the first Motherโ€™s Day that hits a little different,โ€ Crenshaw said, revealing that he and his spouse, who tied the knot in 2013, can celebrate โ€œbringing another generation into this world.โ€

          โ€œLittle Suzy Crenshaw is coming soon!โ€ the congressman said.

          Debunked: ‘Twitter Files’ Expose Plot to Suppress Conservatives

            1
            Photo via Pixabay images

            Conservative Twitter users have finally been vindicated.

            Thursday night, former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss released the second installment of the “Twitter files,” Elon Musk’s purging of Twitter’s private failures in hopes of rebuilding trust in the platforms.

            Throughout the Twitter thread, Weiss revealed how the platform previously sought to silence and suppress some conservative users and accounts by placing them on “blacklists” and flagging particular information.

            Images appeared to show that several of the accounts had been flagged with โ€œRecent Abuse Strikeโ€ and that more basic information, such as when the accounts were โ€œTwitter Blue Verifiedโ€ or โ€œHigh Profile,โ€ had also been noted.

            Jay Bhattacharya, a health policy professor from Stanford University who opposed COVID-19 lockdowns, appeared to have been placed on a โ€œTrends Blacklist,โ€ as was the right-wing Libs of TikTok account, according to the photos.

            The account of conservative commentator Dan Bongino was placed on a โ€œSearch Blacklist,โ€ while the photos showed Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk had his account marked as โ€œDo Not Amplify.โ€

            Weiss also noted that Twitter previously denied depressing particular accounts. In 2018, Twitter’s then-Head of Legal Policy and Trust, Vijaya Gadde, along with then-Head of Product, Kayvon Beykpour said, โ€œWe do not shadow ban.โ€ They added: โ€œAnd we certainly donโ€™t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.โ€

            Thursday evening, Musk responded to users’ concerns and said he plans to release a new feature to combat “shadowban” concerns.

            “Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if youโ€™ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal,” Musk tweeted.

            โ€œMost engineers donโ€™t feel strongly about politics, but do want to work with other great engineers,โ€ Musk added. โ€œSilicon Valley has worldโ€™s best engineering talent, but is co-located with San Francisco, which is far left. Thus, far left gained control of an incredibly powerful info weapon.โ€

            Musk also responded to a question about whether โ€œany political candidates โ€” either in the US or elsewhere โ€” [were] subject to shadowbanning while they were running for office or seeking re-electionโ€ by answering, โ€œYes.โ€

            Steve Bannon Reportedly โ€˜Laying The Groundworkโ€™ For Presidential Run In 2028

            0

            According to Axios, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is โ€œlaying the groundworkโ€ for a possible campaign by discussing staffing with allies and setting up a political action committee.

            Bannon has also been making appearances at GOP events in key early-primary organizing circles. Axios pointed to his attendance at Colorado and Georgia Republican Party events as a sign he may be building relationships with local activists who play a major role in primary politics.

            Still, Axios framed the effort as something bigger than one candidateโ€™s ambitions.

            โ€œThe MAGA godfather isnโ€™t serious about becoming president โ€” thatโ€™s not the point,โ€
            Axios reported.

            Instead, the outlet said Bannon has told allies he wants to pressure Republicans to embrace a clearer โ€œAmerica Firstโ€ vision โ€” including non-interventionist foreign policy, economic populism, and opposition to Big Tech.

            Matt Gaetz weighs in

            Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) described Bannonโ€™s political brand in blunt terms, telling Axios:

            โ€œThe Bannon campaign will merge the foreign policy of Rand Paul with the tax policy of Elizabeth Warren.โ€

            A โ€œnontraditionalโ€ campaign model

            Axios also reported that Bannonโ€™s associates โ€œenvision a nontraditional campaignโ€ that could be run largely from his Capitol Hill podcast studio, avoiding the typical early-state grind of rallies in Iowa and New Hampshire.

            Bannon denies it โ€” and says his focus is Trump

            Bannon isnโ€™t publicly embracing the idea. He reportedly told Axios the entire notion was:

            โ€œbullsh*t,โ€

            and said heโ€™s focused on supporting a third term for Trump โ€” โ€œdespite the Constitutionโ€™s two-term limit on presidents.โ€

            Meanwhile, Trump is already signaling 2028 succession plans

            While Bannon talks about โ€œAmerica Firstโ€ leverage in 2028, President Donald Trump has also been dropping hints about what he wants the post-Trump Republican bench to look like.

            In recent comments reported by multiple outlets, Trump has pointed to Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the next generation of Republican leadership โ€” and suggested they could be a dominant force heading into 2028.
