Pilots Who Bombed Iran Will Come To White House On Fourth Of July

True patriots…

The pilots who flew into Iran on a mission to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities will join President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.

The B-2 pilots will be in attendance on Friday at the White House Fourth of July celebrations, two White House officials shared with The Daily Wire. The White House celebration will also include a flyover by B-2 Spirit bombers, the jets that conducted the strikes on Iran earlier this month in Operation Midnight Hammer, according to CBS.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a statement that the president “looks forward to celebrating our nation’s founding on Friday in the nation’s capital.”

“To join in the celebration, the might of America’s Air Force will conduct a flyover featuring our state-of-the-art F-22s, B-2s, and F-35s – the same air capabilities used for the decisive and successful strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities,” Leavitt added.

Trump is expected to speak at the event, and additional personnel from the base where the bombers were based (Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri) will attend.

During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo discussed the “courageous” pilots with Trump, and asked the president if he planned to honor them.

“Yes, they’re going to come to the White House,” Trump said. “But what you said is right. These people flew 36 hours in a small space, a big plane, but a small spaces mostly occupied by bombs, and they flew so brilliantly.”

“They hit a target the size of this circle … a little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door from 50,000 feet up in the air,” he added. “Going at a rapid speed, because they’re going very fast when they’re over a pretty rough territory. And they hit it every single time. And then they knocked out two other sites aside from that.”

Cohen Wants Trump Sanctioned For ‘Sleaze-bag’ Remarks

    Michael Cohen, the ex-personal attorney of former President Trump, said his former boss should be sanctioned for violating his gag order in the hush money case.

    Trump’s hush money trial is set to begin Monday. Cohen sat down for an interview with Politico ahead of the April 15 start date, where he continued his criticisms of the former President.

    “I’m not the defendant in this case. The defendant in this case is the former president, Donald J. Trump. So, what does he do? He starts to attack. And despite the gag orders that have been put on by the judges, he nevertheless continues to do what he wants,” Cohen said.

    “He will say whatever he wants. He violates the gag order. And like a petulant child, there appears to be no repercussion. He legitimately just posted something calling me a sleazebag,” he continued. “And of course, he attacked Stormy Daniels, as well. It’s called witness intimidation and obstruction of justice.”

    Cohen was responding to a post from Trump on Wednesday, where he called Daniels and Cohen “two sleaze bags who have, with their lies and misrepresentations, cost our Country dearly!”

    Notorious Criminal Speaks Out Ahead Of Trump Hush Money Trial

      1

      On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Ari Melber interviewed incarcerated convicted felon Michael Avenatti to get his thoughts on former President Donald Trump’s fast-approaching New York criminal hush money trial.

      Avenatti, a disbarred attorney, is currently serving 19 years for extortion, fraud, obstruction, and identity theft. Some of those charges stem from his theft of proceeds from a book by his former client, Stormy Daniels. 

      The former president faces 34 charges linked to hush money payments made by his ex-fixer to porn actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair ahead of the 2016 election. He has pleaded not guilty.

      Trump is scheduled to head to trial in his New York criminal case on April 15.

      Mediaite has more:

      “Michael, have you been in touch with D.A. Bragg’s office?” Melber asked. “And what specifically in evidence or logic do you think is wrong with this case?”

      “I’m going to decline to answer as to whether I’ve been in touch with either the defense or the D.A.s office,” Avenatti replied. “But let me say this in response to the second part of your question. You know, I think the case has a lot of problems. Now that– I don’t mean to suggest that means that Trump will not be convicted because I think he will be convicted because number one, he’s a criminal defendant in our society. I don’t believe criminal defendants generally get a fair shake.”

      Avenatti then echoed attorneys for Trump, who have unsuccessfully attempted to secure a change of venue. He said:

      I don’t think that he can get a fair trial in New York. And to the people who claim that in fact, he can get a fair trial in New York with a New York jury, I would ask them, if they were to go to sleep tonight and wake up tomorrow and find out that the case had been moved to Mississippi or Alabama, would they still think the trial was going to be fair?

      And I think if they were being honest, they would answer no. So, I don’t think he can get a fair trial in New York.

      On Monday, a judge in New York denied a request for a delay in his hush money trial. Trump’s attorneys argued for the trial to be relocated from Manhattan and postponed as they pursue the matter. 

      Trump’s attorneys argued for the trial to be relocated from Manhattan and postponed as they pursue the matter. His attorneys argued that Manhattan, a well-known liberal bastion, was not an appropriate location for the Republican president’s case. They requested a change of venue to Staten Island, the only borough in New York City that Trump won in both 2016 and 2020.

      Republicans Pour Cold Water on Trump Ahead of 2024 Announcement

      7

      As buzz continues to build around Trump’s looming 2024 announcement some Republicans are already trying to burst his bubble.

      Despite the obvious excitement surrounding Trump’s long-awaited presidential campaign announcement the Republican is already facing hurdles on the path to 2024.

      Trump, who is already facing various legal challenges, will be effectively cut off from the Republican National Committee if he declares his candidacy committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel told The Hill.

      Last year, the RNC admitted it was paying for legal fees “that relate to politically motivated legal proceedings waged against President Trump” and in recent months the committee has funded Trump’s defense against probes launched by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. (D) and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D).

      “We cannot pay legal bills for any candidate that’s announced. So these are bills that came from the Letitia James lawsuit that started while he was president,” McDaniel said. “It was voted on by our executive committee for our former president, that this was a politically motivated investigation and that’s what it’s been.”

      “But we cannot do in kind contributions to any candidate right now. He’s the former president being attacked from every which way with lawsuits, and he’s certainly raised more under the RNC than we’ve spent on these bills,” she added.

      Advisers in Trump’s inner circle have indicated the announcement could come as soon as November 14th but some conservatives say it shouldn’t come as any shock.

      Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said on Sunday that Trump’s upcoming announcement doesn’t surprise him, according to The Hill.

      “Like, why should anybody be surprised,” Christie said, adding, “When something happens that you anticipated happening, it doesn’t make any difference.”

      “He’s going to run. Everyone always knew he was going to run. He can’t miss the attention any more than he does, and he’s going to run,” the former governor added. “Now we’ll see what happens.”

      However, reports began to swirl on Monday that Trump couls make his annoucenment during tonight’s rally in Ohio. Axios reporter Jonathan Swan was the first to report that Trump could move up the announcement date.

      “Based calls/texts all morning, Trump/Vance rally in Ohio will be v closely watched by Rs. Speculation has reached a point of absurdity at this point but many Rs of varying degrees of closeness to Trump are anticipating accelerated announcement based on his recent private comments,” Swan tweeted.

      A source close to the matter told The Washington Examiner that ultimately the decsion is up to Trump and nobody knows exactly when he will share the news.

      “There’s a lot of back-and-forth right now, no one really knows if it’s going to happen tonight or if it’s going to happen in a week or so. Trump himself is the one who wants to do it ASAP. No one knows right now whether it’s happening tonight or not,” the source explained.

      Haley Answers If She Will Pardon Trump if Elected

        On Sunday, Nikki Haley said she plans to pardon Donald Trump if she is elected to the White House.

        Asked the question directly by an audience member at a Fox News town hall in South Carolina, where she once served as governor, Haley said a pardon would be in the country’s “best interest” so Americans can work to “leave the negativity behind” without being further divided.

        “If you’re talking about pardoning Trump, it’s not a matter of innocence or guilt at that point, because that means he would have already been found guilty,” Haley said at the town hall, hosted by John Roberts. “I believe, in the best interest of bringing the country together, I would pardon Donald Trump. Because I think it’s important for the country to move on.”

        “We’ve got to leave the negativity and the baggage behind,” she added. “I don’t want this country divided any further. I don’t think it’s in the best interests for America to have an 80-year-old president sitting in jail and having everybody upset about it. I think this would be the time that we would need to move forward and get this out of the way.”

        Trump currently faces four criminal indictments, including two on the federal level brought by special counsel Jack Smith

        In January, Haley said she would not consider a preemptive pardon for Trump but would issue a pardon if he were found guilty.

        “I think you only do it if someone’s found guilty. So, you know, what I’ll say is this is about moving the country forward, and the last thing we want to see is an 80-year-old former president sitting in jail,” she said on Fox News when asked if she would pledge to pardon Trump preemptively or only if he was found guilty. 

        “Instead, we want to say, ‘OK, how do we put the past behind us and move forward as a country?’ And I think that by pardoning him, that absolutely would move the country forward, instead of dividing it further. And so I think you always have to look at what’s in the best interests of the country,” she added.

        Tucker Carlson Breaks Silence After Fox News Exit

        Tucker Carlson posted a cryptic video message to his Twitter profile late Wednesday evening in his first public comments since his shocking departure from Fox News.

        During the just over two-minute message, Carlson said he had realized after “stepping outside the noise for a few days” how many “genuinely nice people there are in this country.”

        “The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates on television are,” he continued. “They’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember we had them. Trust me as someone who has participated in them.”

        “Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it,” Carlson said in his video message. “When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who have been trying to silence them shrink. They become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe.”

        Carlson ended his message by suggesting that his audience, which often topped more than 3 million people each weeknight while at Fox, would soon hear from him again.

        “Where can you still find Americans saying true things there aren’t many places left but there are some, and that’s enough,” Carlson said. “As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.”

        Saudi Arabia Releases Jailed US Citizen Following Trump, Crown Prince Mohammed Meeting

        Saudi Arabia has released a United States citizen who was jailed over social media posts critical of the royal family after President Trump’s meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

        Saad Almadi, 75, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1976, was arrested in 2021 during a family visit over his remarks online. He was sentenced to more than 19 years on terrorism charges but was released in 2023 and hit with an “exit ban,” which prevented him from leaving the country.

        The terrorism charges were later decreased to “cyber crimes.”

        “This day would not have been possible without President Donald Trump and the tireless efforts of his administration,” the Almadi family said in a statement Wednesday. “We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sebastian Gorka and the team at the National Security Council, as well as everyone at the State Department.”

        The statement came shortly after Trump’s Wednesday speech at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum. 

        The Almadi family said the release “would not have been possible” without the work of the president and the “tireless efforts” of the administration, expressing gratitude to the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh for keeping Almadi “safe.” 

        One of Almadi’s posts on social media that landed him in trouble called for a street in the nation’s capital to be renamed after Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was murdered in 2018 while at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. 

        Crown Prince Mohammed has denied involvement in the killing of the journalist, who fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, but U.S. intelligence reports in 2021 stated the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia “approved” the operation to detain or kill the columnist.

        The 9/11 Families United organization shared similar sentiments in regards to Trump’s interactions. 

        “The crown prince knows nothing of the pain of the 9/11 families. He is actively working to impede our efforts to ensure extensive evidence of Saudi government support for al-Qaeda and the terrorist hijackers are brought to light, harboring a former agent that produced a casing video of the U.S. Capitol building, and trying to rewrite history with investments,” 9/11 Families United  told The Hill in a statement. 

        Trump said Tuesday that the crown prince “knew nothing” about Khashoggi’s murder, triggering harsh criticism from press groups. 

        “We are so excited for the family that Mr. Almadi is finally on his way back to the United States! We know how long and hard the family fought to make this day possible,” the Foley Foundation, which advocates for American hostages and wrongful detainees held overseas, said Wednesday in a statement to The Hill

        Diddy Boasts Of Potential Trump Pardon As Conviction Fallout Mounts

          1

          Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, now serving time at FCI Fort Dix, is reportedly bragging to fellow inmates that a presidential pardon from Donald Trump is on the horizon.

          According to TMZ, Combs has been telling other convicts he expects to walk free early next year — and has even promised to “take care of them” once he’s back on the outside.

          When asked earlier this year about the possibility of a pardon, President Trump told Fox News’ Peter Doocy he’d be open to reviewing the case.

          “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up,” Trump said. “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

          Combs’s troubles stem from a sensational trial last month that pulled back the curtain on his decadent and abusive lifestyle. Jurors heard shocking testimony about drug-fueled “freak-offs” — private sex parties where women were allegedly coerced and mistreated.

          While Combs managed to avoid conviction on the more serious racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, he was found guilty of two counts of transporting women for prostitution under the federal Mann Act. The 55-year-old was sentenced to four years and two months in prison, fined $500,000, and ordered to complete five years of supervised release.

          The embattled music mogul isn’t done facing justice yet. He’s still staring down multiple civil suits accusing him of rape, assault, and human trafficking, painting an even darker picture of an entertainment empire built on exploitation and excess.

          While Democrats and their media allies once celebrated Combs as a cultural icon and political activist, his downfall now stands as a reminder that Hollywood and celebrity politics often mask deep corruption.

            House Democrat Files Revenge Bill Following Trump Airport Proposal

              On Sunday, Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly defended his proposal saying he thinks it’s “only fitting” to name a federal prison after former President Trump

              “Well, there’s a nice federal penitentiary right near Mar-a-Lago. And I just thought for a guy who’s now got 88 criminal indictments pending, criminal — plus two major civil penalty trials that have already been resolved, costing him about a half a billion dollars,” Connolly told MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart.

              “I think it’s only fitting that if Republicans really want to honor Donald Trump, the most appropriate way to do that is to name a federal prison he might be visiting soon, after Donald J. Trump,” Connolly added.

              Connolly was one of three Democrats to introduce a bill Friday to change the name of the Miami Federal Correctional Institution in Florida to “Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution.” 

              Connolly was joined by Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and John Garamendi (D-Calif.).

              The proposal came in response to a Republican push to rename Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump.
