Confused & FURIOUS Trump yells the names of his friends at courthouse
Donald Trump continues to lie outside the courthouse about the gag order Judge Juan Merchan has imposed on him. Last week, Trump falsely claimed that he was unable to testify in his own defense due to the gag order, which the judge corrected him about. Now, his new line for the media, though also untrue, is that the gag order prevents him from telling people whether or not he plans to testify. Trump also cited Fox News lawyers and right-wing pundits who are against the prosecution as evidence that the case should be thrown out. He said, “Take a look at Andrew McCarthy or Jonathan Turley or Mark Levin. They say there's no case here.” Unfortunately for Trump, it’s not his friends who will be determining whether he’s guilty or not guilty, but rather a jury of peers who have carefully weighed the evidence before them at trial.
Kristi Noem AGAIN won't say whether she met Kim Jong Un
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem finds herself embroiled in a perplexing controversy surrounding her alleged meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, as detailed in her forthcoming book. When pressed for clarification on this claim, Governor Noem has notably evaded providing a straightforward response, sparking further inquiry into the authenticity of her assertion. Despite being confronted multiple times, she has yet to offer a clear explanation as to how the mention of the meeting made it into her book in the first place. Governor Noem's vague assurances that the mention will be removed from future editions of her book have done little to quell the scrutiny surrounding the issue. With no concrete evidence to support her claim and her reluctance to address the matter directly, it certainly looks as though she lied about meeting Kim Jong-un and then only tried to distance herself from it once she got caught.

RED ALERT: MAGA admitting they WON'T accept 2024 results either
Trump surrogates are preemptively laying the groundwork to contest the outcome of the November election if Trump loses, with alarming implications for the integrity of the democratic process. When pressed by Kristen Welker, Scott failed to provide a clear affirmation that he would accept the election results, instead affirming Trump's inevitable victory without addressing the question directly. This lack of clarity raises doubts about their stance on the democratic process. Additionally, RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump made false statements about mail-in voting on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox News show, arguing that counting ballots after Election Day signifies fraud. This debate underscores the broader narrative of preemptive efforts to contest election outcomes and the need for vigilance against attempts to undermine the democratic process.
From yesterday’s show:
Kristi Noem wants Biden's dog killed. YOU READ THAT RIGHT
Kristi Noem, the Governor of South Dakota, is facing criticism for suggesting that President Biden's dog be killed over its behavior, just as she did to her dog Cricket. Noem spoke more about the dog-killing story that appears in her book during an interview with Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan. The governor did her best to distract from the matter and boasted about South Dakota's prosperity during the interview, even though statistics reveal a significantly lower average income in the state compared to the national average. Noem's contentious remarks and apparent lack of accountability have sparked concerns about her suitability for higher office, with many questioning her judgment and leadership abilities. Her polarizing behavior and controversial statements have cast doubt on her credibility as a leader and diminished her chances of becoming Donald Trump’s running mate.
