Donald Trump New York City  — At a press briefing following a hearing related to his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict, former President Donald Trump offered strong criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of their expected debate. Trump, known for his combative rhetoric, expressed doubt about Harris's capabilities in the upcoming event, casting her as incompetent and politically shielded. “I think it’s much more than 20, our country is being invaded because of incompetent people like Kamala,” Trump stated, before referencing Harris's recent media appearances. “She does one softball interview with CNN, couldn't have been nicer. Dana Bash, you know what? I gained respect for her,” he said, praising the CNN host. However, Trump quickly turned his focus toward his anticipated debate with ABC News. He labeled the network and its journalists as “the worst of everybody” and accused the media organization of bias. “Her best friend is the head of ABC or ABC News, and her...

  Donald Trump During a speech to the Economic Club of New York, former President Donald Trump outlined his ambitious plans to make housing more affordable by slashing regulations and driving down mortgage rates. His proposals come as part of his broader economic vision to revive the American Dream, which he says has been tarnished by current policies. Trump stated that, if re-elected, his administration would work to tame inflation, which would lead to a sharp decline in interest rates. "We’ll get them down very, very low," Trump assured the audience. He confidently predicted mortgage rates would drop to 3% or even lower, potentially saving the average homebuyer thousands of dollars annually. Reducing Housing Costs by Cutting Regulations A key part of Trump’s plan is to cut regulations that he claims inflate the cost of new homes. According to Trump, regulations currently account for 30% of the price of a new house, and he believes eliminating these unnecessary rules will cu...

Jean Carroll verdict, Alina Habba, attorney for former President Donald Trump, delivered a passionate speech criticizing the Department of Justice (DOJ), Vice President Kamala Harris, and the Biden administration. Standing outside the courthouse, Habba addressed reporters and urged Americans to vote for Trump in the upcoming election. "I have sat with President Trump for years now while he has been targeted with lies and with judges, AGs, and DAs who have specifically run in this city and others on getting Trump," she said. "The Trump administration will fix this problem. We will stop Kamala Harris's regime—because she was there, let's not forget that, and she still is—of using officials from the White House, putting them in DAs' offices and AGs' offices, and attacking your political opponent." Habba expressed her frustration over what she perce...

Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr On the 22nd anniversary of the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard took to her social media platforms to question why President Joe Biden was notably absent from Ground Zero in New York City. Her message was clear: she believes that the Biden administration might want Americans to move on from this historic event and focus on other issues, including new, potentially more lucrative wars. In a video transcript shared on her social media handles, Gabbard expressed her disappointment over President Biden's absence at the site of Ground Zero, where the Twin Towers once stood. She posed the question, "Why not?" suggesting that perhaps the President wishes to divert public attention from the events of 9/11, its perpetrators, and the motives behind the attacks. Gabbard's concern revolves around the notion that the Biden administration aims to shift the nation's focus away from the long-sta...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr House Speaker Pelosi receives an interesting greeting in New York City as she makes a surprise appearance at a music festival. She's one of the first guests on the new show on Hulu, Power Trip.  She showed off her fitness with a brisk walk, with George Stephanopoulos talking about how Republicans will destroy democracy if the power goes to the GOP In November. On her walk with Stephanopoulos, Speaker Pelosi can huff and puff about how democracy could die and the fate of the planet is at stake in a midterm election. I think a lot of the noise that you're hearing from the Democrats is sort of their admission that they know they are in some trouble, so they are throwing these distractions to try to get people scared and motivate their folks. It comes down to inflation, the economy, and republicans. The democrats' message now is MAGA extremism, the first point they have. The next point they have is that, basically, clima...

Donald Trump We are seeing a response from former President Donald Trump, the Trump organization, and his allies after a civil suit by the NY AG. Let me read you more of the statement from the Trump organization. In addition to everything that you just laid out, it's notable that the statement talks about the crime rates in New York, saying, "All of this is happening while New York continues to decline with rising violent crime rates, which we have not seen in decades. Their team said, "It's all about politics, pure and simple. The good people of New York should be disgusted. I want to read a little bit of what we got from a Trump spokesperson who sends this on behalf of one of his attorneys, who writes, Today's filing is neither focused on the facts nor the law. It's on advancing the attorney general's political agenda. It's abundantly clear the attorney general's office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolu...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr US President Joe Biden To Address Putin’s Nuclear Threats At The UN General Assembly In New York. And the war will be a major focus of President Biden's address to the U.N. General Assembly this morning. What might Joe Biden say at his UNGA 77 address, given this breaking news? I think you can expect to hear him reiterate that if Vladimir Putin were to use nuclear or chemical weapons, the U.S. would respond with severe consequences. But here is the question: What do those severe consequences look like? Of course, President Biden has taken the possibility of sending US troops into Ukraine to fight this war very seriously, and so he is keeping that piece of it very close to the vest. But I am told this will be a forceful speech. The goal is going to be to rally support around Ukraine. This is a war that is now stretching into its seventh month. The US has committed more than $15 billion. So keeping up that support for Ukrai...
