Trump Calls to Primary Republican Senators Who Voted for Omnibus Spending Bill

    Donald Trump has a strong message for Senate Republicans.

    The former President called for the ouster of roughly a third of the Republican Senate caucus following the passing of a massive $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.

    According to Mediaite, Trump initially took to social media to congratulate Kevin McCarthy on becoming Speaker after 15 rounds of votes before changing his tune.

    He then turned his ire to “Mitch McConnell and his China flagrant boss, Coco Chow.” Of course he is making another racialized reference to Elaine Chao, who served as Secretary of Transportation in his own administration. “Something is wrong with McConnell, and those Republican Senators that Vote with him,” he wrote. “PRIMARY THEM ALL!!!”

    His full message reads:

    Great job Kevin! We must now stop Mitch McConnell and his China flagrant boss, Coco Chow. It’s as though he just doesn’t care anymore, he pushes through anything the Democrats want. The $1.7 TRILLION quickly approved Bill of the week before was HORRIBLE. Zero for USA Border Security. If he waited just ten days, the now “United Republican Congress” could have made it MUCH BETTER, or KILLED IT. Something is wrong with McConnell, and those Republican Senators that Vote with him. PRIMARY THEM ALL!!!

    Following is a list of the 18 Republican Senators who voted to pass the spending bill, however, Senators Blunt and Shelby have since retired.

    • Roy Blunt (Missouri)
    • John Boozman (Arkansas)
    • Shelley Capito (West Virginia)
    • Susan Collins (Maine)
    • John Cornyn (Texas)
    • Tom Cotton (Arkansas)

    The streets of central D.C. are soon to be filled with thousands of soldiers, massive tanks and artillery, and the cacophonic rumble of Vintage warplanes and sleek Blackhawks flying overhead.

    The U.S. Army is marking its 250th anniversary with a pomp-filled procession through the streets of the nation’s capital Saturday, June 14, showcasing military might in a display with few, if any, precedents.

    The date also coincides with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday.

    The parade, which will feature Army equipment, flyovers, musical performances and thousands of soldiers in uniforms from the past and the present, caps off a week of programming designed to celebrate the country’s military might. Trump posted a short video address about the parade to Truth Social on Friday, June 6, inviting Americans to what he called an “unforgettable” celebration, “one like you’ve never seen before.”

    “For two and a half centuries, the men and women of America’s Army have dominated our enemies and protected our freedom at home,” he said in the video. “This parade salutes our soldiers’ remarkable strength and unbeatable spirit. You won’t want to miss it. Just don’t miss this one. It’s going to be good.”

    Here’s what to know about the parade and day-long celebration in Washington, D.C.

    Trump Reportedly Promised ‘Sweeping Changes’ at CNN If Paramount Takes Over Warner Bros.

    0

    David Ellison is reportedly already talking about what he’d do to CNN—before he even owns the company.

    According to The Wall Street Journal, the Paramount Skydance CEO told Trump administration officials during a recent Washington visit that he’d make “sweeping changes” at CNN if he manages to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, the network’s parent. The subtext isn’t subtle: CNN is a longtime Trump target, and Trump has told confidants he wants new ownership and programming changes, the Journal reported.

    Ellison’s comments come amid a fast-moving takeover scramble involving Warner Bros. Discovery. After the company accepted an offer from Netflix, Ellison said Paramount would pursue a hostile bid directly to shareholders.

    “WBD shareholders deserve an opportunity to consider our superior all-cash offer for their shares in the entire company,” Ellison said in a statement announcing the move. He argued that the competing proposal would leave shareholders exposed to uncertainty around the company’s linear cable networks business and face a more difficult regulatory path.

    Ellison’s father, Oracle co-founder and Trump ally Larry Ellison, called President Donald Trump after the announcement that Warner Bros. had accepted the Netflix deal to argue that “the transaction would hurt competition,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

    “Trump has told people close to him that he wants new ownership of CNN as well as changes to CNN programming,” added the Journal story.

    Trump, for his part, has never been shy about where he thinks CNN belongs on the media food chain. Earlier this year, he dismissed the network as “scum” in remarks on the White House lawn.

    Debunked: ‘Twitter Files’ Expose Plot to Suppress Conservatives

      1

      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 “Recent Abuse Strike” and that more basic information, such as when the accounts were “Twitter Blue Verified” or “High Profile,” 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 “Trends Blacklist,” as was the right-wing Libs of TikTok account, according to the photos.

      The account of conservative commentator Dan Bongino was placed on a “Search Blacklist,” while the photos showed Turning Point USA President Charlie Kirk had his account marked as “Do Not Amplify.”

      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, “We do not shadow ban.” They added: “And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.”

      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 you’ve been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal,” Musk tweeted.

      “Most engineers don’t feel strongly about politics, but do want to work with other great engineers,” Musk added. “Silicon Valley has world’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.”

      Musk also responded to a question about whether “any political candidates — either in the US or elsewhere — [were] subject to shadowbanning while they were running for office or seeking re-election” by answering, “Yes.”

      Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea

      On Monday, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on goods imported from Japan and South Korea.

      Trump shared letters addressed to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung in posts on Truth Social.

      The new levies will take effect on Aug. 1. If either Japan or South Korea raise tariffs in retaliation, Trump said in his letters that the U.S. tariffs will increase by an equal amount.

      Trump’s letters said it is a “Great Honor to send you this letter in that it demonstrates the strength and commitment of our Trading Relationship,” and that the U.S. has agreed to continue to work with Japan and South Korea “despite having a significant Trade Deficit” with each country.

      “Nevertheless, we have decided to move forward with you, but only with more balanced, and fair, TRADE. Therefore, we invite you to participate in the extraordinary Economy of the United States, the Number One Market in the World, by far,” Trump wrote.

      He went on to tell Japan and South Korea that “there will be no Tariff” if companies in those countries “decide to build or manufacture product within the United States and, in fact, we will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely – in other words, in a matter of weeks.”

      “We look forward to working with you as your Trading Partner for many years to come. If you wish to open your heretofore closed Trading Markets to the United States, and eliminate your Tariff, and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter,” Trump added.

      “These Tariffs may be modified, upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your Country. You will never be disappointed with The United States of America,” Trump wrote.

      In April, Trump announced a “reciprocal” tariff policy under which U.S. tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries would be based on the size of America’s bilateral trade deficit with those countries.

      Under the reciprocal tariffs announced at the so-called “Liberation Day” event, imports from Japan would face a 24% tariff while goods from South Korea would have a 24% tariff applied to them – figures that are largely in line with the 25% tariffs the president announced in his letters.

      Elizabeth Warren Reveals Why Trump Called After Her Speech

        3

        Liberal Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts said President Donald Trump called after she delivered a speech accusing him of raising costs and abusing power.

        “This morning, I gave a speech noting how Donald Trump is driving up costs for families, sowing terror and chaos in our communities, and abusing his power to prosecute anyone who criticizes him. I also laid out an argument for how Democrats should fight back and win,” Warren said in her statement.

        Warren spoke at a National Press Club event and later expanded on her criticisms during a question-and-answer session.

        “In my remarks, I made it clear that despite promising to lower costs On Day One, Trump has done nothing but raise costs for families,” she said in the statement.

        According to Warren, Trump contacted her after the event.

        “I told him that Congress can pass legislation to cap credit card rates if he will actually fight for it. I also urged him to get House Republicans to pass the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act,” that “would build more housing and lower costs,” she said in the statement.

        “President Trump and Sen. Warren had a productive call about credit card interest rates and housing affordability for the American people,” a White House official noted.

        The call comes after Trump posted on Truth Social last week proposing a temporary cap on credit card interest rates.

        “Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration,” he declared in the post.

        ‘Donald Trump’ Buffalo Spared From Slaughter After Government Steps In

        1

        A shaggy-haired albino buffalo nicknamed “Donald Trump” was dramatically spared from slaughter in Bangladesh this week after the animal’s viral fame triggered public backlash — and even government security concerns.

        Just hours before the rare buffalo was set to be sacrificed during the Muslim festival Eid al-Adha, Bangladesh Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stepped in to save the animal.

        Officials confirmed the buffalo has now been relocated to the national zoo in Dhaka.

        “The decision was made at the last moment … due to security concerns and the unusual level of public interest,” a ministry official said.

        The bizarre international saga started after locals noticed the buffalo’s striking resemblance to President Donald Trump — specifically its fluffy blond combover that sits atop its head like the commander-in-chief’s signature hairstyle.

        Photos and videos of the buffalo quickly exploded across social media, turning the animal into an unlikely celebrity in the city of Narayanganj and drawing crowds eager to snap selfies with the Trump lookalike.

        Farm owner Ziauddin Mridha said he originally bought the rare albino buffalo about 10 months ago and recently sold it to a buyer preparing for Eid sacrifices before authorities intervened.

        The government has reportedly ordered Mridha to refund the buyer.

        “My younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head,” Mridha told NDTV. “It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked.”

        The internet, naturally, had a field day after news broke that “Donald Trump” had narrowly escaped death.

        “Even a buffalo named Donald Trump survives assassination attempts …” one user joked on X.

        “Life is really funny sometimes. At this point, the buffalo needs security and its own social media page,” another wrote.

        From a quiet farm animal to a globally recognized internet sensation, the buffalo formerly destined for sacrifice is now headed to zoo life — all thanks to a blond hairstyle that reminded the world of Trump.

        Trump Demands Fox Remove Ex-Lawmaker Board Member

          There’s bad blood between Fox News and Donald Trump…

          Donald Trump took aim Wednesday at Fox News board member and former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan on social media.

          Trump tore into “a very disloyal” Ryan on Truth Social, citing the infamous former House Speaker as the reason why “nobody can ever trust Fox News.”

          “Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors,” Trump wrote. “He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As a team, they never had a chance. Rupert and Lachlan, get that dog off your Board – You don’t need him. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUMP. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

          Ryan called Trump “unfit for office” during a June 11 interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. When Cavuto asked Ryan about viewers who disliked him and believed he was “pulling the strings” at Fox, Ryan responded he had “been in politics a long time” and had “really thick skin.”

          Ryan made clear in early May that he would write in a different candidate’s name because “character is too important.” The anti-Trump Republican also said, “Everyone knows we will well lose the election if we nominate this guy again.”

          Trump attacked the 2012 vice presidential candidate’s choice to back a different candidate in November.

          “Rupert Murdoch should fire pathetic RINO Paul Ryan from the Board of Fox. Ryan is a loser, always has been, and always will be,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He was the WEAKEST & MOST INCOMPETENT Speaker of the House in its History. Fox will sink to the absolute bottom of the pack if Paul Ryan has anything to do with it!”

          Hunter Biden Was Part of Chinese Operation to Spy on Biden Family

            ANALYSIS – The stakes continue to grow for Joe Biden as more evidence is discovered about his son Hunter’s damning ties to Communist China.

            While the establishment media is slowly coming around to the veracity of the information on Hunter’s laptop, they continue to downplay the more severe implications of his links to Chinese intelligence.

            Thankfully, Republican lawmakers and former White House officials remain dogged in their pursuit of the truth.

            As part of this effort, House Republicans last week released evidence on how the president’s son’s former business partner was connected to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

            And former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told Fox News that this evidence shows Hunter Biden was “part of a Chinese intelligence mission that was trying to gather as much information as possible about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the entire Biden family.”

            Just The News reported:

            His [Whitaker’s] interview came days after House Republicans released evidence that before becoming Hunter Biden’s business partner and close associate, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao worked for the Chinese Communist Party at an agency that approves foreign-funded projects.

            “I have always felt that in addition to the sort of just the classic political corruption that is contained in this case, there is this national security concern that I think actually elevates it to, you know, a higher level of a case,” Whitaker said.

            Meanwhile, Fox News reports this new evidence is raising major national security concerns.

            Republicans are demanding information from the FBI about Hunter Biden’s business partner’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and her successful infiltration into President Biden’s family’s affairs, which they say jeopardizes national security.

            James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray Wednesday morning stating that committee Republicans have documents that “reveal Hunter Biden’s business partner and close personal associate was linked to the Communist Party of China (CCP), her employer before the Biden family.”

            Republicans say Hunter’s partner, JiaQi “Jackie” Bao, provided the president’s son information on how to purchase natural gas in the U.S. and sell it to China. In addition, they say documents show that Bao had access to the Biden family’s financial information and worked closely with CCP agents.

            “After infiltrating the Biden family, Bao urged Hunter to encourage Joe Biden to run for president months before he announced and then supplied the Biden family campaign advice related to China,” Comer’s letter said.

            Media reports and documents reviewed by Committee Republicans suggest that Bao and Hunter’s relationship extended beyond professional obligations — a common tactic employed by Chinese intelligence agents.

            Committee Republicans are concerned Hunter Biden may have been compromised by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and foreign intelligence services (FIS). Due to the interconnected nature of the Biden family’s finances and business dealings, this type of access would jeopardize U.S. national security,” Comer added.

            This growing evidence increasingly indicates Hunter Biden was compromised by Chinese intelligence and in turn compromised the entire Biden family, especially his father, Joe Biden.

            Expect explosive revelations as soon as the GOP gains control of Congress and launches more detailed investigations.

            Mark Levin Loses It In Livid Monologue On Biden DOJ

            1

            Fox News firebrand Mark Levin fired off some harsh accusations against President Biden’s Department of Justice on Sunday.

            During the latest airing of Life, Liberty, and Levin, the host honed in on the number of leaks that have been made to the media in Trump’s ongoing legal cases.

            “This department is destroying America. It’s destroying the 2024 election. It’s violating every norm, every tradition, everything it inherited to ensure that that department could be trustworthy and could be reliable,” Levin said. “And I want to say this. If we don’t break the back of the Department of Justice, and I will explain what I mean in a moment, it will destroy this country.”

            Levin then begins reading headlines from the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post about leaks regarding Trump’s legal cases.

            “Who do these leaks help? Do they help Donald Trump? Do they help a single witness? It’s the federal government. It is the Biden Department of Justice. It is the Democrat Party’s Department of Justice that’s interfering in the election.

            “Look at this! You see this?! These are the leaks! From grand juries to witnesses to Mar a Lago to the nature of the classified documents,” Levin adds. “Leak after leak after leak!”

            Levin then claims that the “pattern of leaks” violates Trump’s 5th and 6th Amendment rights as well as contaminates the jury pool in the upcoming cases.

            “All roads go through the Department of Justice. All roads go through Jack Smith‘s office, the special counsel,” Levin screams. “Now the Trump lawyers need to wake the hell up to do something about this.”

            Special Counsel Jack Smith has charged the former President with 47 counts, if convicted Trump could spend the rest of his life in prison.
