Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes urges supporters to abandon Trump (AP) The livestreamer sharply criticized the president’s decision to send American troops into Iran as part of a joint operation with Israeli forces. He also singled out Jewish commentators who publicly supported the strike. “Something has gone horribly wrong. All of those people, with some exceptions, were ‘never Trumpers’ in 2016,” Fuentes said. “[Ben] Shapiro didn’t vote for Trump in ’16, Mark Levin was critical of Trump in 2016. Where were these people when the movement was actually born, when those pillars were in place? Now all of those people are in the center. The movement is something else now, and what we need in 2028, this is our last chance, we need in 2026 for this administration to be shut the f— down.” he said.

Trump’s TikTok delay is ‘against the law’ top Senate Intelligence Democrat says

Trump’s TikTok delay is ‘against the law’ top Senate Intelligence Democrat says

Published by Webster

President Donald Trump’s additional 75 day delay to TikTok’s sale-or-ban deadline leaves service providers like Apple, Google, and Oracle on shaky ground, and, according to one influential Democrat, is straight-up “against the law.” After Trump announced the extension on Friday, 12 Republican members of the House Select Committee on China, including Chair John Moolenaar (R-MI), released a joint statement in response. The statement did not address legal concerns with the second extension, but it said that “any resolution must ensure that U.S. law is followed, and that the Chinese Communist Party does not have access to American user data or the ability to manipulate the content consumed by Americans.” The letter says signatories “look forward to more details” on a proposed deal. In a separate statement, three Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, including Chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY) struck a similar note, saying that, “any deal must finally end China’s ability to surveil and potentially manipulate the American people through this app.” “The whole thing is a sham if the algorithm doesn’t …

Published by Parlour News

In her first public appearance since she dropped her Republican presidential bid in March, Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador, said Wednesday that she would vote for former President Donald Trump, stopping short of an official endorsement. Speaking at the Hudson Institute in Washington, a conservative think tank, Haley delivered a scathing critique of President Joe Biden and Republicans on foreign policy. During her speech, she made no mention of the elephant in the room: Trump. But in a fireside chat afterward, the moderator, Peter Rough, asked Haley who she believed would do a better job in the White House. Haley paused before carefully continuing her answer. As a voter, she said, she would put her priorities behind a president who would have the “backs of our allies and hold our enemies to account,” secure the nation’s borders and curb the national debt. “Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I’ve made that clear many, many times,” she said. “But Biden has been a catastrophe. So, I will be voting for Trump.” A …
