Report: Support For Convicted Felon As President Surges

    4

    An interesting twist…

    Nearly a week after a Manhattan jury found former President Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records the dust has started to settle.

    According to a recent YouGov poll, Republicans say that they are now okay with allowing convicted felons to be president a significant rise from a similar poll in April.

    YouGov conducted its first poll on the political support of felons on May 31, following the conviction of former President Donald Trump, and the sharp rise is both equally stunning and not at all surprising. 

    The Political Polls account shared the details on social media:

    Similarly, a focus group of undecided voters following former President Trump’s conviction last week revealed mixed reactions to the historic verdict

    According to The New York Times, a transcription of the focus group features 11 swing voters, all of whom have previously supported Trump and President Biden or Hillary Clinton at least once during 2016, 2020 and 2024.

    Undecided voters were asked to discuss the impact of Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York trial and how it will affect their likelihood to vote for him. Some respondents said they were still “torn” after the verdict. However, it wasn’t a decisive factor for many of them. 

    “Inflation, the economy, immigration and abortion were the things that they said would ultimately determine their votes,” the Times notes. 

    James, a 53-year-old from Iowa, commented, “They’ve been going after Trump since he was elected in 2016. Democracy is supposed to be about the will of the people. I don’t really think the majority of the people in this country wanted to see him prosecuted on these charges.” 

    When other participants expressed their hesitancy to vote for a convicted felon, Jonathan, a 37-year-old from Florida, interjected, “You have to remember why Trump is the choice of millions of people. Trump represents a shock to the system. His supporters don’t hold him to the same ethical standards. He’s the antihero, the Soprano, the ‘Breaking Bad,’ the guy who does bad things, who is a bad guy but does them on behalf of the people he represents.”

    Frank, a 65-year-old from Arizona, replied, “The more I see Trump dealing with this, the less confident I am in him. A president’s got to be a step apart from just a good person. And I have a problem with his integrity and ethics. I’m swinging toward probably Biden. And I don’t like Biden. I don’t like him… got no ethics, either.”

    Report: the U.S. Expecting Overwhelming Flood of Venezuelan Migrants

    The U.S. border is on red alert.

    A report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is revealing concerns about an overwhelming number of migrants from Venezuela flooding the border due to an incorrect understanding of U.S. immigration policy.

    According to an internal DHS memo obtained by the Daily Caller, some factors leading to the impending swell at the border could be political changes, new visa requirements, a lack of resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and poor economic conditions in Latin American countries Venezuelans fled to.

    The report also noted confusion regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) policies for Venezuelans is also another factor leading to the increase in migration.

    “Deteriorating opportunities for Venezuelans in Latin America coupled with changing immigration policies will likely increase Venezuelans’ decision to travel to the U.S. southwest border (SWB) via the Darien Gap and Mexico,” the memo stated. “Venezuelans may also be pulled to the United States by the perception that once they reach the border, they have a greater chance of remaining in the United States, based on a misunderstood perception of temporary protected status.”

    TPS is currently granted to Venezuelans who were in the U.S. as of March 8, 2021. However, in July the DHS announced an 18-month extension for those already in the program to renew their statuses.

    Cato Associate Director of Immigration Studies David Bier previously told the DCNF a primary reason many Venezuelans aren’t sent back under Title 42 is because the U.S. doesn’t have diplomatic relations with Venezuela, which refuses to allow for deportation flights.

    “This is true for deportations from Mexico as well,” Bier said. “The Trump administration also put a flight ban in effect for Venezuela, meaning no flights are allowed to go there. Nonetheless, some expulsions are still happening via third countries, but it’s much more difficult.”

    Of the more than 5 million Venezuelan refugees in Latin America approximately 3.7 million of them live in Colombia and Peru, where they face “violence, hate, abuse, sexual and labor exploitation, and discrimination,” according to the memo.

    “An exodus from these two countries alone would be a major concern as it could potentially signal larger waves of Venezuelan migrants to emigrate to the United States,” the memo said.

    Nearly 150,000 Venezuelans are in Panama, however these refugees are close to losing their “pathways to residency” because of legislation that is set to expire, making their best option to come to the U.S. illegally.

    “Without access to legal status, migrants cannot apply for work permits and are forced to seek jobs in the informal market, making them vulnerable to exploitation,” the memo said. “For those qualified to renew their regularization status, the 2,600 USD smuggling fee is cheaper than paying regularization costs in Panama.”

    According to Customs and Border Patrol, the number of Venezuelan migrants encountered in fiscal year 2022 is over triple the number encountered the previous fiscal year, when 1,270 Venezuelans were expelled under Title 42.

    Trump Organization Announces New ‘Trump Mobile’ Phone Service

      The Trump Organization has announced its latest business venture…

      The Trump Organization announced Monday it is launching a new mobile phone business: Trump Mobile.

      Donald Trump Jr., the president’s oldest son, announced the new initiative along with his brother Eric Trump, on the 10th anniversary of their father’s first announcing he was running for president, from Trump Tower in New York City.

      Trump Jr. said the business group felt the mobile phone industry was another era in which there had been “lackluster performance” and in which there could be an opportunity to provide tech to an audience that is “underserved.”

      With Trump Mobile, Trump Jr. said “we’re going to be introducing an entire package of products.”

      He said at a press event that it would allow people to “get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance for their cars,” and “unlimited texting for 100 countries around the world.”

      “We think we’re going to be giving something unique to the American people,” he said.

      A release regarding Trump Mobile said it would offer 5G service through all three major cellular carriers. Its flagship offering is also linked to the president: The 47 Plan.

      It gives consumers the offerings of Trump Mobile for $47.45 per month, a price point that remarks on Trump’s time as the nation’s 45th and 47th president.

      “Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service,” Trump Jr. said in a press statement. “Our company is based right here in the United States because we know it’s what our customers want and deserve.”

      The announcement also said the Trump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”ump Organization would be introducing a new “TI Phone” in August, describing it as a “sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier.”

      Eric Trump Unveils First Renderings Of Proposed Donald J. Trump Presidential Library

      A newly released animated video is offering the first public look at renderings of former President Donald Trump’s proposed presidential library in downtown Miami, showcasing a waterfront skyscraper and museum complex.

      Trump shared the video on Truth Social early Tuesday, while his son Eric Trump posted it on X with additional details about the project. Eric Trump described the development as a “lasting testament” to his father and his legacy.

      “Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team,” Eric Trump wrote. He added that the waterfront landmark would stand as a tribute to “an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.”

      “These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!” he added.

      Eric Trump, who has been leading the project’s development, serves as president of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation and is one of its trustees.

      The video, set to orchestral music, opens with aerial views of the proposed waterfront site, featuring landscaped grounds with palm-lined walkways, fountains and green space. It then reveals a towering glass structure topped with a spire.

      Renderings show Trump’s name displayed in gold lettering across the building’s facade, along with a large American flag draped down the center. The design includes a presidential aircraft resembling Air Force One on the ground floor, as well as gold escalators reminiscent of Trump Tower in New York City.

      Additional images depict military aircraft displayed inside the complex and a large auditorium-style space featuring a gold statue of Trump, a stage and large digital screens.

      The plans also include replicas tied to Trump’s time in the White House, including the Oval Office, the West Colonnade and a ballroom.

      The proposed library is being designed by Miami-based architecture and engineering firm Bermello Ajamil and would be built on a roughly 2.6-acre waterfront site.

      In late September, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet approved transferring the Biscayne Boulevard parcel to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The site was briefly tied up in a legal dispute after a federal judge paused the transfer from Miami-Dade College before allowing it to proceed in December.

      The property is currently used as an employee parking lot for Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus and sits next to the historic Freedom Tower, which served as a resource center for Cuban immigrants fleeing communism in the 1960s and 1970s. The 100-year-old building is widely regarded as a symbol of Miami’s immigrant heritage.

      The surrounding area includes luxury high-rise apartments and waterfront views facing the Kaseya Center, home of the NBA’s Miami Heat, as well as Dodge Island, a major cruise port.

      The parcel has been appraised at more than $66 million, according to media reports, though it could sell for at least $360 million, The New York Times reported, citing a real estate consultant.

      Trump’s post also included a link inviting supporters to donate to the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation. Other trustees include Michael Boulos, the husband of Tiffany Trump, and Trump attorney James Kiley.

      Trump carried Miami-Dade County by 13 points, becoming the first Republican to do so since 1988.

      The unveiling comes as former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago is scheduled to open in June. President Donald Trump was notably left off the guest list for the opening of the Obama Library.

      Trump Announces Historic Hamas Deal—But One Major Hurdle Remains

      President Donald Trump announced a potentially historic breakthrough in the Gaza peace process Thursday night—but the hard part may only be beginning.

      Trump said Hamas and other armed factions had agreed to completely disarm under a phased roadmap negotiated by his international Board of Peace.

      If the agreement survives, Hamas would surrender the weapons and underground infrastructure it has spent decades building, give up control of Gaza and make way for a new Palestinian government. Israel would withdraw its forces as the terrorist group’s arsenal is dismantled.

      “Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY.”

      Trump said the agreement could finally deliver security for Israel while preventing Gaza from once again becoming a launchpad for terrorist attacks.

      “This agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people,” Trump continued.

      “At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.”

      Under the roadmap, disarmament would unfold in several carefully monitored stages. Israeli troops would withdraw only as Hamas and the other factions fulfill their obligations.

      An International Stabilization Force would then work with a newly recruited Palestinian police force to secure Gaza and prevent Hamas from reclaiming power.

      “The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild!” Trump declared. “Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE.”

      Trump thanked Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, along with his administration’s negotiating team, for helping secure the agreement.

      “One year ago there was a violent raging war, humanitarian crisis and hostages kept in brutal captivity,” he wrote. “We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do.”

      The Board of Peace called the roadmap a “historic breakthrough,” saying it marked the first time Hamas had formally accepted an actionable plan to surrender all of its weapons.

      The process would begin with firearms controlled by Gaza’s existing police. A new Palestinian government, known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, would recruit and vet officers for a replacement police force.

      Heavy weapons, ammunition depots, weapons factories and Hamas’ sprawling tunnel network would be tackled in later stages. Militias, armed clans and other terrorist factions would also have to surrender their arsenals.

      Officials estimate that fully disarming Gaza could take between 200 and 350 days. Reconstruction could begin sector by sector as individual areas are cleared of weapons and terrorist infrastructure, according to The Jerusalem Post.

      The entire deal is built around what officials called “zero trust.”

      Every step must be independently verified before the other side is required to fulfill its next obligation. If Hamas stops cooperating, Israel’s withdrawal would also stop.

      But the roadmap immediately ran into conflicting interpretations from Hamas and Israel.

      Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad told Reuters on Friday that the group was prepared to hand its weapons to the new Gaza government. However, he said disarmament would depend upon Israel withdrawing its forces, approving the agreement and allowing international security personnel into Gaza.

      An Israeli official outlined the opposite sequence, insisting that Hamas must surrender its weapons and Gaza must be fully demilitarized before Israeli troops withdraw.

      “There will be no IDF withdrawal from the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip before Hamas is disarmed and the Strip is fully demilitarized,” the official told The Times of Israel.

      Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had not publicly endorsed the latest roadmap as of Friday morning, while some Israeli political figures were already urging him to reject it.

      A U.S. official acknowledged that Israel remained deeply skeptical that Hamas would actually dismantle the arsenal and tunnel system at the center of its power.

      The Trump administration argues that Israel would be protected by the deal’s strict verification process and would not be forced to surrender territory while Hamas still posed an internal threat.

      The agreement grew out of Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan. Its first phase produced an October ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages, but negotiations later stalled over Hamas’ weapons, Israel’s withdrawal and Gaza’s future government.

      Trump has now secured an agreement on paper addressing those seemingly intractable disputes.

      Whether he can force the bitter enemies to carry it out may be the ultimate test of his Middle East peace push.

      ‘I Love Trump’ Tucker Carlson Addresses Private Text Fiasco

      1

      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.”

      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.

          Report: Trump FCC Chair Willing To Revoke Media Broadcast Licenses

          0

          Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr is making waves in Washington by refusing to give corporate media a free pass. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Carr said he is prepared to hold powerful broadcasters accountable if they cross the line, even suggesting their licenses could be at risk.

          “Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows,” Carr declared, emphasizing that media companies must serve the public interest—not just their own political agenda.

          Unlike past FCC chairs who often looked the other way, Carr has embraced President Trump’s call to challenge the entrenched power of legacy outlets. He noted that Trump shattered the illusion that the mainstream press acts as neutral gatekeepers of truth, exposing the bias that millions of Americans already sensed.

          Taking on Comcast and NBC

          Carr has already taken steps to ensure media giants like Comcast are not misleading the public. Following concerns about the company’s partisan coverage and questionable diversity policies, Carr launched two investigations into Comcast’s practices.

          In April, Carr accused Comcast of misleading Americans with its reporting on a high-profile deportation case. By July, he expanded the review to include whether NBC affiliates were truly serving their communities as required under federal law.

          The standard Carr cites dates back to 1934, which requires broadcasters to act in the “public interest, convenience, and necessity.” While critics claim such standards are outdated, Carr argues that the law remains clear: if companies are given privileged access to America’s airwaves, they must be held accountable to the public.

          The FCC has rarely revoked a broadcast license—most notably in 1971 when a Mississippi station defended segregation—but Carr has signaled he’s willing to use that authority again if necessary.

          Fully Aligned With Trump’s Agenda

          Carr has been at the FCC since 2017 and makes no secret that he supports the president’s approach. “We are fully aligned with the agenda that President Trump is running,” he told the Journal.

          For Carr, this means standing up to the mainstream press, protecting Americans from being misled, and ensuring that media companies don’t abuse their privileged position.

          Critics Push Back

          Of course, media lawyers and progressive watchdog groups are sounding the alarm. Robert Corn-Revere of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression complained to the Journal that Carr’s actions are political. But for millions of conservatives, Carr’s willingness to confront biased outlets is long overdue.

          By leaning in rather than playing the old Washington “independence” game, Carr is showing he’s willing to take bold steps to ensure the public gets fair and honest coverage—not just the partisan spin of corporate media.

          Report: Ukraine Agrees To US-Brokered Peace Deal

          Ukraine has agreed to a peace deal with Russia that was brokered by the United States, but a cautious Volodymyr Zelensky warned “much work” remains to be done.

          “Following the meetings in Geneva, we see many prospects that can make the path to peace real,” Zelensky wrote in an X post on Tuesday. “There are solid results, and much work still lies ahead.”

          A U.S. military official in Abu Dhabi told CBS News Driscoll spent hours negotiating Tuesday with Russian representatives, going in and out of meetings all day. 

          “We remain very optimistic,” the official said. “Secretary Driscoll is optimistic. Hopefully, we’ll get feedback from the Russians soon. This is moving quick.”

          It is not clear who else is in the U.S. delegation in Abu Dhabi. A U.S. official told CBS News on Tuesday that a Ukrainian delegation was also there and has been in contact with Driscoll and his team.

          A source with knowledge told CBS News that Driscoll was working in Abu Dhabi off of a revised version of the White House’s 28-point proposal, following productive negotiations in Geneva.
