    Trump Issues Response To Biden Admin.

    On Wednesday, Biden made a stark reversal from his campaign policy and announced the need for a border wall in Texas citing security, drug and arms trafficking, and steepening migration.

    “There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in the statement.

    The U.S. Border Patrol saw more than 245,000 people in the last fiscal year trying to enter the United States in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, the DHS said, citing data from August.

    Trump wasted no time before chiding Biden over the border barrier.

    “Biden sees our country is being invaded,” Trump said. “What is he going to do about the 15 million people from prisons, from mental institutions, insane asylums, and terrorists that have already come into our country?”

    “What has happened to our country?” Trump said, adding that the Biden administration needs to “go back to Trump policies.”

    “He has to reinstate Remain in Mexico and Title 42,” Trump said. “He has to do all of the other things that we were doing.”

    A Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital Wednesday night that “President Trump is always right.” 

    “That’s why he built close to 500 miles of powerful new wall on the border and it would have been finished by now,” the spokesperson said. “Instead, Crooked Joe Biden turned our country into one giant sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens.”

    Report: J6 Defendant Arrested After Threatening Trump Judge, Prosecutor

    This week, authorities took a Jan. 6 defendant into custody over his repeated online threats against people involved in former President Trump’s legal battles, FBI agents who investigated the defendant’s case, and Supreme Court justices. 

    Charles Austin, a federal magistrate judge in Maryland, on Monday ordered Bradley Nelson be detained

    “While there is no history of prior release violations, these statements evidence an actionable threat to the community – at the least, law enforcement involved in the investigation,” Austin wrote in his order. 

    According to The Hill, prosecutors said Nelson over the past year has posted images of U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) and a Georgia state judge with apparent crosshairs drawn on their heads.  

    Court documents indicate the post about James, who brought a major civil fraud prosecution against Trump that led to a $464 million judgment, also included a threatening comment: “give every [expletive] thing I have to watch that [expletive]’s head explode, or at least the back of her head blowout.” 

    And in June, prosecutors say Nelson made a threatening post about Barrett, Trump’s final appointee to the Supreme Court. 

    The post was allegedly made roughly one hour after the Supreme Court narrowed the use of an obstruction charge levied against hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, including Nelson. Barrett wrote the dissent, siding with prosecutors alongside two of the court’s liberals. 

    “I pray to God with all my [expletive] heart that somebody cuts your [expletive] throat from ear to ear you worthless piece of [expletive],” Nelson’s comment read, according to court documents. 

    “The Court does not, in any way, disregard or minimize statements concerning state and federal judges and attorneys general,” the judge wrote. “Those comments and rhetoric are even more offensive and violent than the agent-focused statements. Moreover, they support concerns that Nelson might resort to violence in the future.” 

    The judge added, “Yet, the Court is mindful of its directive to consider not only the nature of any alleged threats but also Mr. Nelson’s resources and capabilities.” 

    In connection with the Jan. 6 riot, Nelson faces charges like obstruction, entering a restricted building, and disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty. 

    Dominion Voting Systems Acquired By GOP-Led Firm Focused On Election Trust

    Dominion Voting Systems has been sold to Liberty Vote, a new election technology firm led by former Republican election official Scott Leiendecker.

    Leiendecker previously served as elections director in St. Louis, Missouri, and is best known as the founder of KNOWiNK, a company that supplies electronic poll books used across the country. (KNOWiNK has been one of the most widely adopted digital check-in systems for voters in the U.S.)

    According to a press release from Liberty Vote, the company’s mission is to “restore public confidence” in elections by providing systems that are “transparent, secure, and trustworthy.”

    “As of today, Dominion is gone,” the statement said. “Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control.”

    As Politico reports:

    The voting company sued Fox News for the false claims and reached a $787.5 million settlement in the case — marking the largest defamation-related settlement. Newsmax similarly settled a defamation lawsuit for $67 million.

    Dominion Voting Systems did not respond to a request for comment.

    The St. Louis-based company has already outlined its top initiatives in the company’s rebrand — using hand-marked paper ballots, committing to entirely American ownership in its staffing and software development and incorporating third-party auditing to “verify election integrity.”

    “Liberty Vote signals a new chapter for American elections — one where trust is rebuilt from the ground up,” Leiendecker said in the statement. “Liberty Vote is committed to delivering election technology that prioritizes paper-based transparency, security, and simplicity so that voters can be assured that every ballot is filled-in accurately and fairly counted.”

    Coverage of the sale describes it as a turning point for the company, with new leadership putting a premium on paper-based voting, straightforward processes, and visible safeguards.

    First Lady Melania Trump Announces 8 Ukrainian Children Reunited With Families After Personal Call With Putin

    A massive homecoming…

    First lady Melania Trump announced on Friday that eight Ukrainian children displaced during the country’s ongoing war with Russia had been reunited with their families.

    “Each child has lived in turmoil because of the war in Ukraine. Three were separated from their parents and displaced to the Russian Federation because of frontline fighting. The other five were separated from family members across borders because of the conflict, including one young girl who has now been reunited from Ukraine to Russia,” Melania Trump said.

    The first lady added that some minors who were displaced during the war have since reached adulthood and are residing in Russia, but their safe return home requires “coordinated assistance.”

    “My ongoing mission is twofold: to prioritize and optimize a transparent, free flow of health-related information surrounding all children who have [fallen] victim to this war, and to facilitate the reunification of children with their families until each individual returns home,” Trump said.

    The first lady stressed that this is part of an ongoing process and that plans are already underway to reunify more children with their families.

    “A child’s soul knows no borders, no flags. We must foster a future for our children which is rich with potential, security and complete with free will. A world where dreams will be realized rather than faded by war,” Trump said.

    In August, Trump wrote a “peace letter” to Russian President Vladimir Putin telling him “it is time” to protect children and future generations around the globe.

    “As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all — so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded,” Trump wrote in the letter, which was obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.

    “In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself,” she continued. “Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today.”

    The first lady gave the letter to President Donald Trump and had him hand-deliver it to Putin during their high-stakes summit in Alaska.

    Trump said on Friday that Putin responded to her letter in writing and expressed a willingness to engage with her directly, as well as outlining details regarding Ukrainian children residing in Russia. The first lady said that she and Putin had an “open channel of communication regarding the welfare of these children” since she wrote the letter. She went on to say that both sides participated in meetings and calls “in good faith.”

    “My representative has been working directly with President Putin’s team to ensure the safe ramification of children with their families between Russia and Ukraine,” she said. 

    On Friday, in a joint announcement, Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the Abducted Ukrainian Children Recovery and Accountability Act passed the Senate as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026. The act follows a bipartisan resolution that the senators led in May which condemned Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children.

    “The Abducted Ukrainian Children Recovery and Accountability Act would increase support for Ukraine’s efforts to investigate and track the more than 19,000 Ukrainian children who have been abducted during Putin’s brutal invasion, assist with the rehabilitation and reintegration of children who are returned, and provide justice and accountability for perpetrators of these abductions,” the joint statement read.

    NYC Mayor Ditches Democrats – Announces Re-election Bid As An Independent

    Shaking things up…

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his re-election campaign but with a big caveat: he’s running as an Independent.

    Adams told Politico on Monday that he wants to “mount a real independent campaign,” saying that the federal bribery charges, which have been dismissed, “handcuffed him.” The New York City Mayor said he’d be “uninhibited” while campaigning.

    “I’m in the race to the end. I’m not running on the Democratic line. It’s just not realistic to turn around my numbers and to run a good campaign (from) where we are right now,” Adams said. “It hurts like hell.”

    Adams faces an uphill battle in his re-election campaign. Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on March 1 that he’d be running for New York City mayor.

    U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho on Wednesday dismissed federal charges against Adams, which alleged he used his position to receive luxury travel and illegal campaign contributions from Turkish foreign nationals.

    Adams has maintained his innocence and argued that the case was politically motivated by his criticism of the Biden administration’s immigration policy. 

    A Quinnipac University survey that was conducted just before and just after Cuomo announced his run for mayor found the former governor enjoying 31% support among New York City Democrats, while Adams garnered 11%.

    During the interview, the incumbent New York City Mayor slammed Cuomo for signing bail reform measures into law which he says led to a rise in crime during the coronavirus era.

    “Look at bail reform — that’s Andrew,” Adams said. “He can’t say, ‘I’m going to save the city from the far left’ when he surrendered to the far left.”

    Adams told the outlet that he would submit the required 3,750 signatures on May 27, which would put him on the ballot for November’s election.

    “Now I need this runway until November to redefine and remind people: This is why you elected me in the first place,” Adams said.

    Trump Snubbed For Nobel Peace Prize

    Better luck next time…

    On Friday morning, the Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado, passing over President Donald Trump who has been openly vying for the award.

    The chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, pushed back against suggestions that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize decision was made to spite President Donald Trump’s public campaign for the award.

    Frydnes was asked directly just moments after he announced this year’s prize would go to Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado, whether Trump’s repeated insistence that he “deserves” the prize had affected deliberations.

    A reporter in the room asked: “During the past months, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and he’d like to have it. He even said it would be an insult to the United States if he doesn’t get it. What [do you], as chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, think of this? And how has this campaign-like activity by the president and his supporters, domestically and internationally, affected the deliberation and thinking in the committee?”

    He replied: “In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee has seen many types of campaign, media attention. We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what, for them, leads to peace. This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel.”

    Trump’s supporters had pressed the committee to recognise his 20-point Gaza peace plan and his claimed role in “ending seven wars.” But despite a flurry of last-minute lobbying, including from families of Israeli hostages, Trump’s campaign failed.

    However, the committee also chose a figure who had previously praised the president in a nuance that could blunt some of the political backlash. In past public remarks, Machado thanked Trump for his “commitment to freedom and democracy in Venezuela.”

    She also featured on this year’s TIME magazine list of the “100 Most Influential People” where Secretary of State Marco Rubio called her “the personification of resilience, tenacity, and patriotism.”

    Watch via YouTube:

    The Trump administration is being praised for its efforts in securing a landmark peace deal between Israel and Hamas that will see all remaining hostages brought home on Monday.

    Under the first phase of the agreement, Israel will release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for all remaining hostages, both living and dead. Israel will also withdraw its troops from most of Gaza, removing themselves behind a “yellow line” during a 24-hour ceasefire that has already begun.

    At the end of the ceasefire, a 72-hour clock will begin, during which Hamas must release all remaining hostages. Only 20 remaining hostages are believed to be alive, along with the 28 who are deceased and their bodies “scattered across Gaza” according to negotiators.

    Jerusalem will also authorize the release of some 1,700 Gazans arrested after the October 2023 attacks, along with roughly 250 Palestinians serving life sentences, under the first phase of the plan presented by President Donald Trump late last month.

    President Donald Trump announced the deal on Wednesday night, hailing assistance from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.

    McCarthy Wins Nod to Become House Speaker as Senate Leadership Feud Heats Up

    Despite a last-minute challenge from House Freedom Caucus chairman Andy Biggs (Ariz.) Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) handily won the nomination for House Speaker in a closed-door conference meeting on Tuesday.

    Rep. McCarthy won easily, 188 to 31, in the internal conference meeting.

    The secret-ballot House Republican Conference vote is just the first step for McCarthy to take hold of the gavel. He must win a majority in a public vote on the House floor — at least 218 votes, assuming a fully sworn-in House — on the first day of the next Congress on Jan. 3.

    According to The Hill, Biggs was nominated by Rep. Chip Roy (Texas), with Reps. Michael Cloud (Texas) and Ralph Norman (S.C.) seconding the nomination, according to a source in the room. Rep. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.) gave a speech in support of McCarthy.

    While McCarthy has been considered the favorite to become Speaker when Republicans retake the House the lackluster midterm results have recently spurred infighting among House Republicans, with some directly criticizing McCarthy’s leadership.

    Rep. Biggs announced his plans to challenge the California Republican for the position on Monday. (RELATED: Freedom Caucus Chairman Expected to Announce Challenge for House Speaker)

    Biggs acknowledged successfully challenging McCarthy would be difficult.

    Separately, Senate leadership is also facing an uncertain future as Florida Senator Rick Scott officially announced he’s running to unseat Mitch McConnell (Ky.) as Senate Minority Leader.

    The chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee has been at odds with McConnell for most of this year over political strategy.

    Scott announced his campaign in a letter to Senate Republicans on Tuesday:

    “I’m writing to you today because I believe it’s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past. We must start saying what we are for, not just what we are against,” Scott said in a letter to GOP colleagues. “I do not believe we can simply continue to say the Democrats are radical, which they are. Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values. “

    Scott added: “For those who want to get serious about ending reckless government spending and the devastating inflation it has caused, finally take action to protect Social Security and Medicare and preserve the promise of these programs for our children and grandchildren, hold government accountable from the FBI to the IRS, truly combat the extreme danger posed by Communist China and refocus our military on lethal defense instead of woke nonsense, I ask for your support in changing the direction of the Senate and rescuing America from the dangerous path Democrats have set it on.”

    Trump Posts $175M Bond, Prevents Seizure Of Assets

    Trump is breathing a sigh of relief for now.

    On Monday night, the former president officially posted the $175 million bond in his New York civil business fraud case.

    Trump’s payment comes one week after an appeals court allowed the leading presidential candidate to post a significantly lower bond.

    “I’ve just posted a 175 Million Dollar Bond with the sadly failing and very troubled State of New York, based on a Corrupt Judge and Attorney General who used a Statute that was never used for this before, where no Jury was allowed, my financial statements were conservative and had a 100% perfect caution/non-reliance clause, there were no victims (except me!), there was no crime or damage, there was only success and HAPPY BANKS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    Trump raged against Engoron and James in his post on Monday night, calling the case brought against him “election interference” and a “witch hunt.”

    “The case was a fabricated ELECTION INTERFERENCE con job, so bad for New York, where businesses are fleeing & violent crime is flourishing,” said Trump. “The Crooked Judge, to suit his narrative, valued Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, at $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. He ruled I was guilty before he ever saw the case. He should be disbarred, and Letitia James, who campaigned on getting TRUMP, Impeached. Also posted a 91 Million Dollar Bond on another New York Fake Case, money I can’t use on my campaign. Just what Crooked Joe wanted. WITCH HUNT!”

    Judge Engoron ruled in agreement with New York Attorney General James in February after James brought civil charges against Trump, alleging the former president inflated his net worth and misled investors. In his judgment, Engoron ordered Trump to pay $350 million, which increased to $464 million, including interest, and also ordered Trump’s co-defendants to pay $10 million.

    Prior to last week’s appeals court decision, Trump would’ve had to pledge 120%, or around $550 million, in collateral to a bond company, an amount his lawyers said last week would be “a practical impossibility” to attain.

    Report: Georgia Judge Disqualifies Four Candidates

    Does this affect Donald Trump‘s chance of winning Georgia‘s crucial 16 electoral votes?

    The disqualification of four independent and third-party presidential candidates from appearing on Georgia’s November ballot could have significant implications for Donald Trump in his quest for the state’s crucial 16 electoral votes.

    A state administrative law judge ruled Monday afternoon that neither the candidates nor their electors were eligible under Georgia law, delivering a setback to their efforts. However, these decisions are not yet final.

    The Georgia Recorder’s Jill Nolin provides further details:

    Chief Judge Michael Malihi also determined that former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not include his real residential address on his nomination petitions, which mirrors a recent ruling by a New York court. Kennedy announced Friday that he was leaving the race and backing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, but Kennedy has not formally withdrawn in Georgia.

    Malihi handed independent candidate Cornel West a pair of mixed opinions, finding that he was eligible to run as an independent under state law but that his electors should have filed their paperwork in their own names, not the candidate’s.

    The judge also concluded that the electors for Kennedy and socialist candidate Claudia De la Cruz made the same error on their paperwork.

    And Malihi determined that the Green Party failed to show that their candidate Jill Stein would appear on the ballot in 20 other states, which is the threshold required under a new pathway created this year by Georgia lawmakers.

    The final decision will be made by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), whose ruling could influence the dynamics of the presidential race in Georgia.

    Georgia Democrats originally objected to these third-party candidates appearing on the ballot in the Peach State. Their concerns are particularly relevant, given that President Joe Biden won Georgia by fewer than 12,000 votes in 2020.

    A spokesperson for Raffensperger stated Monday evening that the judge’s decisions are currently under review.

    Hunter Biden’s Wife Snaps On Former Trump Aide During Court Appearance

    That was ugly…

    Melissa Cohen Biden, the wife of Hunter Biden, lashed out at a former Trump aide during her Tuesday appearance in court calling him a “Nazi.”

    Her vicious remarks were directed at Garrett Ziegler, who was sued by Hunter Biden last year for publishing the contents of his infamous laptop.

    Approaching Ziegler at the trial, Biden’s wife pointed her finger at him and said, “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s—.”

    Ziegler confirmed the encounter, which was first reported by NBC News, and told the outlet, “It’s sad I’ve been sitting here the whole time and haven’t approached anyone.”

    “For the record, I’m not a Nazi, I’m a believer in the U.S. Constitution. I haven’t said one thing to them,” Ziegler added.

    In the lawsuit, the Bidens alleged that Ziegler had violated federal computer laws by hacking into the now-infamous laptop that was left in a Delaware repair shop in 2019.

    The lawsuit accuses Ziegler and his company, Marco Polo, and other associates of spreading “tens of thousands of emails, thousands of photos, and dozens of videos and recordings” that were considered “pornographic” on the laptop.

    Marco Polo referenced the encounter in a post on X.
