    Trump Says He’s ‘Open’ To Having RFK Jr. Join His Administration

    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said this week that he is open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. serving in his administration if he were to win a second term this fall.

    Trump’s remarks come after Kennedy reportedly said he reached out to Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s team about a potential Cabinet role in exchange for dropping out of the race.

    “He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time,” Trump said. “I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”

    Trump said that he would “love” an endorsement from Kennedy because he’s “always liked” him.

    He indicated that he “probably would” appoint Kennedy to a role in the administration if Kennedy were to drop out and endorse him.

    “I like him a lot. I respect him a lot,” Trump said. “I probably would, if something like that would happen. He’s a very different kind of a guy — a very smart guy. And, yeah, I would be honored by that endorsement, certainly.”

    RFK Jr. continued those attacks on Tuesday when he called out the party for trying to rebrand itself as the “party of liberty.”

    “Kamala Harris says that Americans should make personal decisions without the ‘government telling them what to do.’ Tim Walz’s Golden Rule is ‘Mind your own damn business,’” he posted on X. “In view of the censorship, surveillance, vaccine mandates, and the confederacy of fixers openly working to prevent me from getting on ballots, this is like the arsonist telling us he’s a firefighter.”

    Bush-Era Attorney General Endorses Harris

    A surprising betrayal…

    Former Attorney General to President George W. Bush, Alberto Gonzales is turning his back on Donald Trump.

    In the same op-ed, Gonzales called former President Donald Trump “perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.” Gonzales wrote:

    The American presidency is the most powerful position in the world. Of course, our constitution and laws, as well as institutions such as Congress and our courts, act as guardrails to that power. The law provides the certainty of accountability and fundamental fairness. Yet it is the president’s integrity, honesty and respect for our institutions that may be the most important and reliable check on abuses of power.

    As the United States approaches a critical election, I can’t sit quietly as Donald Trump — perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation — eyes a return to the White House. For that reason, though I’m a Republican, I’ve decided to support Kamala Harris for president.

    The Republican AG also officially endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

    In his endorsement, Gonzales defended her from critics who have raised concerns as to why she hasn’t accomplished more as Vice President, pointing the finger at Congress:

    Trump and his surrogates will blame her for the economic policies of the Biden administration, as well as the border crisis. Based on my experience, however, a vice president truly has little to no influence on economic policy. A vice president may provide input, but it is the president who is the ultimate decision-maker. That is part of the job of being the president. Further, Congress has as much, if not more, power to affect our economy through legislation. It is as much their failure as Biden’s that child care, housing, gasoline and groceries cost too much. And as for the border, Trump and his supporters in Congress assumed partial responsibility for the tough border situation when they killed bipartisan legislation in order to help Trump’s election chances.

    Ultimately, Gonzales wrote that he had more faith in Harris to carry out the duties as Commander in Chief:

    Harris, meanwhile, has sworn fidelity to the rule of law as a former local prosecutor and state attorney general. Her record in law enforcement shows a clear commitment to pursuing justice. While I may disagree with some of her policies, I am hopeful she will be open to dissenting views and will act always in a manner respectful of the power of all three branches of government.

    In his closing, he added that Harris was “the best suited, able and committed to unite us in a manner consistent with the rule of law.”

    RFK Jr. Hints At Trump Admin. Role

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could be joining the future Trump administration…

    On Monday, the Independent presidential candidate signaled in a video that he may join the Trump administration’s Department of Agriculture to work on policy.

    “When @realDonaldTrump gets me inside the USDA, we’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms,” he wrote Monday on social platform X, just days after losing his mother, along with a video asking supporters to donate to his “Make America Healthy Again” cause.

    The donation page is dedicated to fueling support for the former president.

    “America’s current ag policy is destroying America’s health on every level. It’s destroying the economic health of farmers by forcing them to get big or get out,” Kennedy said the video. “Big corporate farms do just fine, while the small and medium family operators are squeezed to the point of collapse.”

    The independent then touched on issues caused by toxic pesticides and polluted soil, and shared plans to remove internal “conflicts of interest” within the agency.

    “We’re going to ban the worst agricultural chemicals that are already prohibited in other countries. And we’re going to remove conflicts of interest from the USDA dietary panels and commissions,” he said. “I’ve seen some of what America’s most innovative, regenerative farmers are doing today. They can literally green deserts. They rebuild depleted soils, wells that have been dry for 30 years start flowing again.”

    President Trump is the only one who stood up for working families, and the DC elite want him destroyed. Kamala is raising over $1 Billion to crush his campaign. Will you chip in $3 before the day ends? — JD Vance

    Report: Biden Selling Off Border Wall Parts Before Trump Takes Office

    The Biden administration will do anything to keep the border open…

    According to an investigation by The Daily Wire, the Biden administration is reportedly attempting to delay construction of the Southern border wall by hauling a massive amount of border wall materials away to be sold off in a government auction.

    Videos obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire from a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent show unused sections of the wall being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson, a hotspot for illegal crossings during the Biden administration.

    The agent estimates that up to half a mile per day of unused border wall is being moved.

    “They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent, who was granted anonymity to speak freely, told The Daily Wire. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

    Watch:

    The Daily Wire reports:

    The government contractor, DP Trucking LLC, is transporting the pieces of the wall north on Interstate 19 to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, where it is being auctioned through GovPlanet, a surplus government equipment auction marketplace.

    “They just started taking all the wall that was not used, which is still totally good and usable, and they started taking it northbound,” the agent said. “They’re pulling it all off the border.”

    Harold Lambeth, the owner of the trucking company, confirmed to The Daily Wire in a phone call that his company is transporting the unused border wall sections north away from the construction sites. He said he is unable to disclose further information about the work.

    The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as December 4 for the same types of materials being taken off the border. GovPlanet has online auctions set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 for more of the border wall material, which is listed on the company’s website as “32.91’ X 7.91’ Steel Bollard Wall Sections w/Grout.”

    The bidding for each section of wall panels is set to begin at only $5.00, according to the website.

    Trump is expected to use an executive order to unlock funds to restart construction of the border wall potentially on day one of his presidency.

    Arizona Rep. Eli Crane (R), called the last-minute fire sale by the Biden administration is “a direct affront to the will of the people.”

    “The American people gave President Trump a mandate in November, which included the fulfillment of his plans to secure the border,” Crane said. “Any last-ditch attempt to obstruct this mandate by the Biden Administration would be a direct affront to the will of the people.”

    Special Counsel Appeals Trump Classified Docs Dismissal

    On Wednesday, Special Counsel Jack Smith formally appealed a federal judge’s dismissal of criminal charges against former President Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified information.

    Smith’s office filed a notice saying it would appeal Florida-based U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling tossing out the 40 charges Trump faced to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

    The Hill has more:

    The Trump-appointed judge on Monday ruled that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not have the authority to appoint a federal officer with the “kind of prosecutorial power wielded by Special Counsel Smith.”

    “The bottom line is this: The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers,” Cannon wrote in a 93-page ruling.  

    “The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers.” 

    The ruling marked a major victory for Trump — the first time one of his four criminal cases has been dismissed entirely — and came on the heels of an attempted assassination of the former president. Trump said the dismissal should be seen as the “first step” toward “Uniting our Nation” following the failed effort to take his life, calling for his other cases to be dismissed.

    A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office said Monday that Cannon’s ruling “deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a Special Counsel.”

    Report: Trump’s Truth Social Parent Company Sues 20 Media Outlets

    The parent company to former President Trump’s Truth Social wants $1.5 billion in damages from news organizations that reported that the social media platform had lost $73 million.

    In a Monday lawsuit, lawyers for Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. said in the lawsuit that the number was “an utter fabrication” and accused 20 news outlets of a “deliberate, malicious, and coordinated attack” against Truth Social.

    Bloomberg has more:

    Outlets including the Guardian and Reuters posted stories early last week about Truth Social’s financial condition, citing a regulatory filing by its merger partner, Digital World Acquisition Corporation, a special-purpose acquisition company. Later, at least some of the outlets, including Reuters, posted corrections on their stories.

    Reuters and some other publications said they had reached the wrong figure by incorrectly counting a $50.5 million profit for 2022 as a loss. TMTG lawyers said that the “incredible circumstances” of all 20 outlets reporting the $73 million figure within hours of each other suggested a coordinated campaign.

    “We dispute any allegation that Reuters defamed TMTG or intended to harm TMTG,” a Reuters spokesperson said in a statement. “We corrected our mistake as soon as TMTG made us aware of it, consistent with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. Reuters remains committed to reporting news fairly and accurately in the public interest.”

    Trump Breaks Silence After Second Assassination Attempt

    After surviving another attempt on his life Donald Trump thanked law enforcement officers on Sunday.

    “I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes – It was certainly an interesting day!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. 

    “Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!”

    The former president faced another apparent assassination attempt Sunday while he was golfing in Florida.

    Authorities in Florida said that a Secret Service agent saw a rifle barrel sticking through a fence while Trump was golfing at his course in West Palm Beach. The agent fired shots and a man dropped an AK-47-style rifle with a scope and fled in an SUV, officials added.

    Law enforcement said that authorities apprehended a man in Martin County in a vehicle that matched a witness’s description.

    NewsNation reported the suspect in the apparent assassination attempt is a white male named Ryan Wesley Routh.

    President Joe Biden addressed the situation in a statement on Sunday.

    “A suspect is in custody, and I commend the work of the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former President and those around him safe,” President Biden said in a statement, adding that he was “relieved” the Republican presidential candidate was “unharmed.”

    “There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened,” Biden said. “As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s continued safety.”

    The White House also issued a statement about the situation.

    “The President and Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where former President Trump was golfing,” the statement read. “They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.”

    Lawmakers have since called on President Biden to increase the level of security resources surrounding Donald Trump.

    Rep. Laurel Lee (R-Fla.), a member of the bipartisan House task force investigating the previous attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, Pa., in July, told “Fox & Friends” that the threat to Trump is “extreme” and requires a stronger level of security. 

    “President Biden and Vice President Harris should call for a full presidential level detail to be assigned to President Trump,” Lee said. “Clearly the threat to him is extreme and that needs to happen immediately.”

    On Friday, a Georgia judge released the report from the special grand jury who investigated former President Donald Trump’s actions after the 2020 election.

    The report, which included charging recommendations for 3 US senators, led to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s recent indictment on racketeering charges. 

    Included among the list of recommended indictments were two former senators from Georgia who ran for reelection in 2020, former Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, as well as Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), and Georgia Lt. Gov Burt Jones.

    Willis eventually indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants in the case.

    Trump was charged with one count of violation of the Georgia RICO Act, three counts of criminal solicitation, six counts of criminal conspiracy, one count of filing false documents and two counts of making false statements.

    Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges.

    Read the report below:

    2022-ex-000024-ex-parte-order-of-the-judgeDownload

    Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney ordered the partial release of the special grand jury’s report in February but, at the time, did not release its recommendations on who should or should not be prosecuted. The partial report indicated a majority of the grand jury believed one or more witnesses may have committed perjury in their testimony and recommended that prosecutors pursue indictments against them.

    Trump To Deliver Remarks In Chesapeake, Virginia

    Donald J. Trump plans to deliver remarks in Chesapeake, Virginia on Friday, June 28th at 3 pm.

    Trump released a statement:

    Joe Biden’s America is expensive. Bidenflation has spiked the cost of goods by more than 20% under Biden, costing Virginia households more than $27,000. 

    It costs more to eat, drive, and live under Joe Biden. Virginians have spent $9,173 more on transportation, $4,210 more on energy, $3,115 more on food, and $5,547 more on shelter on average since January 2021. 

    It’s not only more expensive to live in Virginia thanks to Joe Biden, but also more deadly. Biden’s pro-criminal and open border policies have caused a 22.8% increase in fentanyl overdoses from 2020-2021 and another 1,951 Virginians killed by fentanyl poisoning in 2022. 

    Virginia, a place that President Trump loves, has been decimated by weak Joe Biden. 

    President Trump will ease the financial pressures placed on households and re-establish law and order in this country! We can Make America Great Again by tackling lawlessness head-on, ceasing the endless flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border, and reversing the detrimental effects of inflation by restoring people’s wealth.

    North Dakota Governor Enters White House Race

    A relatively unknown Republican Governor has decided to enter the 2024 primary field in what appears to be an ever-growing group of competitors.

    On Wednesday, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum became the most recent Republican to enter the race.

    Burgum announced his candidacy in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.

    “We need a change in the White House. We need a new leader for a changing economy. That’s why I’m announcing my run for president today,” he wrote.

    The economy must be our top priority. We need to get inflation under control, cut taxes, lower gas prices and reduce the cost of living.

    We need to stop buying energy from our enemies and start selling it to our friends and allies. America produces the cleanest and safest energy in the world. Anyone who cares about the environment should want all energy produced here.

    Finally, we must recognize the real threat to America and strengthen national security. Our enemies aren’t our neighbors down the street. Our enemies are countries that want to see our way of life destroyed. The first time I ever saw Great Plains’ software in China in 1989 it had been stolen and pirated to sell for a tiny fraction of our price. We must rebuild our military and re-establish our nation’s position of strength to win the cold war with China.

    “There’s a value to being underestimated all the time,” Burgum told The Forum Editorial Board in an interview published last month. “That’s a competitive advantage.”

    Burgum, who has served as the governor since 2016, announced his campaign during an event in Fargo.

    Besides former President Trump, the Republican presidential nomination field includes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina governor and former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, former two-term Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, multimillionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and Michigan businessman Perry Johnson.

    On Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence formally filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) ahead of his expected announcement on June 7.

    Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who ran for the 2016 presidential nomination, also filed his paperwork with the FEC on Tuesday.
