Bravo to
@SecPompeo
for his clarity on
@foxandfriends
. No apologies. No regrets. Astonishing that some in the American political elite are forgetting that Solemeini was a war criminal, the man who directed Assad’s genocide.
@realDonaldTrump
acted and what he did was righteous.
Strong, strong, strong answer by
@realDonaldTrump
interrupted by Wallace. “They were teaching people to hate our country and I’m not going to let that happen.” Defining moment.
@realDonaldTrump
I spoke to a group of influential CA GOPers tonight, long time activists, bundlers, influencers. Support for
@realDonaldTrump
has increased
I don't know, have never met or spoken w/
@DonaldJTrumpJr
, but his being subpoenaed by Senate Intel AFTER SC report finds no collusion and AFTER Committee found no collusion ought to offend every American who ever has complained about abuse of process by government officials.
Elite media all but ignored the immense significance of the Kosovo-Serbia agreement — two countries whose enmity has required tens of thousands of Americans over two decades to spend years away from their families to prevent savage killing. Astonishing.
This is a blockbuster story from
@nypost
. Watch and see if any cable news channels carry it: There will be questions and caution about authentication, but if
@nytimes
can run w/ pilfered bits of
@realDonaldTrump
tax returns,
@NYPost
can run w/this.
This is attempted deterrence. It doesn’t always work, but Iran —against the backdrop of prior restraint followed by decisive reaction— knows that this red line won’t be erased, and that is essential to the possibility that
@realDonaldTrump
warning will be heeded. Bravo
@POTUS
.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!
I can't believe Commission on Presidential Debates did not discuss the next debate with
@realDonaldTrump
before declaring it would be virtual. I had assumed it had. Shocking. This is a broken, Beltway-dominated group of dinosaurs that is clearly
#NeverTrump
as was Chris Wallace
The president should announce he will go to a stage in the designated city on the date, name a moderator, and invite Joe Biden to join him and to name a moderator, and simply bypass the
#NeverTrump
Debate Commission. It can be done safely It should be done for the country.
"It may be the single biggest political crime in the history of the United States"

@POTUS

Up next:
@SenTomCotton
. Following successful demolition of the credibility of the
@NYTimes

The always careful
@EliLake
is even more cautious here, but he and
@AndrewCMcCarthy
are pointing in the same direction regarding the case against General Flynn. Wait for the judge, but wow, this is a black eye for the Bureau people involved
My new
@WashingtonPost
column focuses on Friday’s announcement of the Kosovo-Serbia accord and MSM inability to focus on crucial issues b/c of hatred of
@realDonaldTrump
:
Because
@AndrewCMcCarthy
knows very well how DOJ and it’s division, the FBI, actually operate —or are supposed to operate when running according to law— McCarthy’s analysis of the persecution of General Flynn is indispensable. Read every paragraph.
The Mueller probe has concluded, after vast effort, that there was no collusion. Senate Intel subpoena to
@DonaldJTrumpJr
seems to me absurd and a flexing of the Committee's muscles. He is not a member of the government, this is not oversight, and Comm concluded "no collusion."
Winner:
@realDonaldTrump
on points. Loser: Chris Wallace. Winner: Judge Amy Comey Barrett, who will be a justice. Loser:
@JoeBiden
for (1) having no response to “name one Joe.” (2) “Antifa isn’t a movement.” (3) The lockdown discussion. Voters don’t want a Biden lockdown.

Turkey can’t want a war with Kurds but if it does we can’t be killing Turks with Americans throughout Turkey, our base there. Some will cast any deal w/ Turkey as

It is unfortunate that no cable news channel is carrying White House briefing which, at this moment, is about how to get food to impoverished children who are normally fed at school. Astonishing.
This is quite the clip. Looks like it has caught up to
@SpeakerPelosi
that “holding” her own party’s absurd impeachment articles against
@realDonaldTrump
was the dumbest political move of a generation. Exposed as the anti-master strategist, she struggles to make a coherent point.
It is far more grave than a mistake. It is a threat against individuals who live with them daily. It is an attack on the judiciary. It is an incitement to violence. It is a debacle and a terrible day for the country.
Possibly the biggest mistake of Schumer’s career in public office.
This is not a gaffe; Schumer meant to threaten Gorsuch & Kavanaugh.
@senatemajldr
should hold a vote in the Senate to censure Schumer.

Thank you whistleblower. Before this began I didn’t know that Hunter Biden has been paid 50K a month for five years to sit on board of Ukrainian gas company while his dad was VP. I didn’t know about the China deal. I didn’t know
@JoeBiden
bragged about a quid pro quo in Ukraine.
Honor
@SenJohnMcCain
and his remarkable career of service, whether you agreed with him always or never, just honor him. No arguments. No using the moment to score points or settle scores. Just honor a great American.
My favorite part of Barr presser:
Journalist: You are being generous to
@POTUS
by saying he faced an “unprecedented” situation Barr: Is there a precedent?
Journalist: No.
Barr: “Hold my beer.” (This may not be an exact quote.”)
I don’t write the headlines for my

With
@realDonaldTrump
win last night —in boxing terms,
@JoeBiden
got clobbered in the last four rounds of a 15 rounder— the race enters the crucial stretch. Early voters were never going to move, but very good for

@JeffFlake

1/2 of the country's media is talking about Tony Bobulinski, and the other half is pretending to talk about anything else while talking about Tony Bobulinski if cameras and microphones are off.

I have zero problem with Burr's subpoena and I see the freakout about it as a sign of weakness/panic on GOP's part (Don't care much either tho). But I love the line from Rand Paul making it sound like GOP senators should just do whatever Mitch tells them.

Legacy media is going to have a very tough time working around the fact that the tyrant Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014 and will do so again in 2022 but did not do so between 2017 and 2020. Why was Putin deterred in those years but not now or in 2014? Don’t expect a lot of analysis
Dr. Birx just rebuked people talking about DNRs or ventilator shortages that don’t exist. She is pressing down on the panic mongers. Hope that message gets through.
Every Catholic, indeed every person of any faith, has to realize the left despises them and that the Democrats shelter this virulent bigotry and pretend it’s something else. Catholics should vote accordingly, whether or not a Democrat is Catholic. The left controls the party.
This argument should be read by all American Catholics ... as a warning about what's coming. And not just for Catholics, either.

This new round of outrageous school decisions placing desires of teachers and staff ahead of needs of students and parents is going to make the Tea Party moment of the early Obama years seem small. Threatening the future of children over minimal risk to them is so not American.

I didn’t see
@realDonaldTrump
speech that is rocking Twitter today, so I read it: It is a paean to American exceptionalism, and the caricatures of it floating around tell you much about their authors and little about the speech. Read it for yourselves.
Things are eerily quiet inside the Beltway as the Blue Bubble people reel from a very successful first night of the GOP virtual "convention" and realizes
@realDonaldTrump
may know more about TV production than they do...
Colorado Supreme Court, by a vote of 4-3, beclowns itself and its state. SCOTUS should move quickly to reverse this idiocy. The politicization of courts at all levels is greatly damaging to the rule of law. It should a 9-0 reversal and it should be quick.

I cannot get over how bad Mark Kelly was v. Blake Masters in last night’s debate. Arizona saw in front of them change from the inflation and migration hurting their state or a status quo “down-the-line” vote for Joe Biden. I think Masters should just play clips for next 4 weeks.
Doesn’t appear that

Strong speech by

and good for him for both condemning the murder of George Floyd and defending the vast vast majority of police. In this he mirrors the general American view.
Terrific speech. Terrific convention. And there’s never been a convention to end with such a display. Ever. The greatest American political traditions of parades and stemwinders just got topped.

Wow. Economy is on fire. Job creation blew out the estimates (250K v. 188K estimate). All time low unemployment rate for Hispanics. Terrific employment conditions for everyone. Are voters really going to invite

unflinching gaze at Michelle Wolf was the most interesting thing about the event, which is intended to honor the First Amendment but in fact mocked the values of civil society so thoroughly as to stun even the cynical reporters. The honest ones will admit it.
Professor Karlan’s non-apology (the what-about-the-president-not-apologizing part) just dug the hole deeper, igniting a third, fourth and fifth round of scrutiny and guaranteeing her long career will be remembered for an outburst of metaphorically bared teeth and snarling eyes.
70K OD deaths in U.S. last year. Say 1/2 were using drugs from Mexico. Say 1/10 of those drugs entered via non port-of-entry illegal shipment over the border. That’s 3500 dead Americans on low ball numbers. What body count is it going to take to make this a non-political issue?
