Controversial Fox News host Carlson hit out at the California representative, who had earlier this month responded to controversial comments made by Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry that “native-born Americans” are being replaced. Rep. Lieu said in a tweet, posted on April 15: “Dear @RepScottPerry: Native-born Americans like you are no more American, and no less American, than an immigrant like me. “And with every passing year, there will be more people who look like me in the US....

“Imagine reading a political party’s talking points verbatim every day and pretending that it’s news,” said Carlson. During the same episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight Carlson said, “Neither article [of impeachment] that apparently have just been passed actually accuses the president of breaking a specific law.” While Democrats and Republicans mostly voted along party lines to pass the historic articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, it was difficult not to notice certain terms coming into play from both sides of the aisle....

During the broadcast, McEnany’s opening statement immediately delved into unproven claims about voter fraud, as Donald Trump still refuses to concede the presidency. Cavuto swiftly cut away from the footage saying they could not air the speech unless facts to back up the claims were presented. “You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting,” McEnany said just before Fox News cut away....

Gabbard introduced legislation Friday that would provide a UBI payment of $1,000 per month to every American adult until the Department of Health and Human Services declares the outbreak is over. “The coronavirus pandemic has created a threat to the health and well-being of the American people, as well as to our country’s economic stability. While some in Washington are focused on taking care of Wall Street, everyday Americans get left behind....

“Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First,’” Gabbard, who represents Hawaii posted to Twitter, retweeting a post by Trump. The president’s original post discussed the Saturday attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil fields, saying that he was waiting for the kingdom’s assessment before taking action. “There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!...

Game Rant spoke to Shouldice about the insights he has gained over the title’s long development, Tunic’s unique narrative philosophy, the contributions of his collaborators, and the necessary evils that are promotional spoilers. This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.

Trump posted a photo of himself addressing a laughing Tucker Carlson, with the caption: “And then CNN said my endorsement would hurt the candidates…” Trump linked to an article by the supportive Right Side Broadcasting Network claiming he is now “15-0 in Senate Primaries”. The post received over 6,800 likes and was “retruthed”, the Truth Social equivalent of a retweet, more than 1,800 times. It is not clear which CNN comments Trump is referring to....

On Monday, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency announced that 229 miles of the president’s long-promised border wall had been built, with roughly 331,000 tons of steel and 485,000 cubic yards of concrete used so far. The update came just a couple of weeks after the Trump administration celebrated the milestone of 200 miles of border wall being constructed in June. With 221 miles of border wall still to go and less than six months, or 178 days, left in the year, Trump will have to see just over 1....

New York Judge Juan Manuel Merchan handed down the fine after The Trump Organization was found guilty of 17 counts of tax fraud and other financial crimes following a trial in December. Neither the former president nor his family were charged in connection to the investigation into his real estate business, and weren’t present during the court proceedings on Friday. Instead, it was two Trump Organization entities—the Trump Corporation and the Trump Payroll Corp—which were guilty of having avoided paying taxes by compensating executives through “off-the-books” benefits such as apartments and luxury cars....

“Well, he hasn’t done anything. So, he hasn’t looked,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “They haven’t looked very hard, which is a disappointment, to be honest with you, because it’s massive fraud.” The president’s remarks come days after Barr declared that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has uncovered no evidence of widespread fraud after following up on specific complaints and information the agency had received. “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the Associated Press on Monday....

“There is a rise in Coronavirus cases because our testing is so massive and so good, far bigger and better than any other country,” Trump tweeted. “This is great news, but even better news is that death, and the death rate, is DOWN. Also, younger people, who get better much easier and faster!” The president was correct to say that the U.S. had conducted a lot of tests. According to the COVID Tracking Project run by The Atlantic, more than 33 million tests had been conducted in the U....

Multiple updates that briefly enjoyed a boost to the president’s 84 million followers had vanished in a matter of hours, leaving gaps in his Twitter feed indicating the posts were either deleted by the original authors or scrubbed by site moderators. A search on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine shows the posts in question made references to the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a possible treatment for novel coronavirus infections, a claim previously made by the president himself....

“Soleimani was, in fact, planning ‘imminent attacks.’ While Democrats and the media quibble over its definition, quick point: When Obama killed bin Laden, al-Awlaki and Gaddafi, without Congressional approval, there were NO ‘imminent attacks’ and Democrats did not ask or care,” said Gidley. But Muammar Gaddafi was captured and killed by Misrata militia members during the Battle of Sirte in the Libyan Civil War of 2011. While American troops were involved in military engagements during the civil war through NATO, they were not involved with Gadhafi’s death....

Trump has long touted the state of the economy pre-pandemic as an achievement, insisting that he built it once and will do so again. He previously suggested that third quarter GDP figures would be positive, welcoming the fact they are due for release just days before the election. In remarks made over the weekend, Trump said the “economy is going to set records. And if stupid people aren’t elected next year, we’re going to have one of the greatest years that we’ve ever had....

“Seeing the not-so-imposing homes of his ancestors might bring him back to earth,” Kallstadt’s conservative mayor Thomas Jaworek told the Washington Post in an article published Tuesday. Born in Kallstadt, Freidrich Trump left the German town as a teenager to emigrate to America for a better life. Despite his suggestion, Jaworek said he has little interest in hosting Trump due to the enormous security risks and media frenzy that would likely arise from such a trip....

The commander-in-chief has spent much of his term trying to muzzle the Iranian regime, which, despite ever-tougher American sanctions, and more recently the coronavirus pandemic, has retained power and thumbed its nose at the White House. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said this week Iran is working to prevent another four years of Trump. Tehran obtained voter details and contacted registered Democrats, posing as the white supremacist Proud Boys group and threatening violence unless recipients voted for the president....

Trump’s new app, Truth Social, went live on the Apple Store on Monday, February 21, to coincide with President’s Day, five months after it was first announced. The app (created by the Trump Media and Technology Group, TMTG) is right-wing “free speech” originated social media app similar to Gettr, Parler or Gab, and was set up by Trump after he was banned from all other mainstream social media sites in the wake of the January 6 attack....

“If I faced him, I’d beat him like I would beat everyone else,” Trump said in an interview with Yahoo Finance. Trump insisted that he has good chances against anyone else including DeSantis, a potential GOP nominee, who is greatly favored by the Republican party, according to recent polls. The former president also said that he is confident that everyone else, including DeSantis, will drop out of the 2024 race if he decided to run....

During his first political rally since losing the presidential election, an attempt to boost Republican senatorial candidates ahead of crucial runoff elections in the state next month, Trump reaffirmed his support for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, whose January 5 contests with Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock will ultimately determine whether or not Republicans retain control over the U.S. Senate. If both Democrats win, both parties would hold the same number of seats in the Upper Chamber, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris holding a deciding vote....

Trump regularly criticizes the press and officials for not giving him his due credit, something he chalks up to being part of an anti-Trump agenda. On Thursday, he took issue with the press not discussing his strikes on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, and Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force, as they were “bigger” terrorists than bin Laden. “Osama bin Laden had one hit, and it was a bad one, in New York City, the World Trade Center....
