Trump midnight PANIC ATTACK over forthcoming arrest
Former President Donald Trump, in a series of late-night posts on social media, expressed panic and made unsubstantiated claims about a forthcoming indictment and arrest. Trump alleged that a top prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ) attempted to bribe and intimidate a lawyer to falsely accuse him of a non-existent crime. He called for the case against him to be dropped and demanded an investigation into alleged wrongdoing within the DOJ and FBI. Despite previous indications that the DOJ may not be willing to indict a former president, there are now suggestions that they may proceed with indictments against Trump. The statements made by Trump, though lacking in substance, could still have an impact on public opinion and potentially mobilize his supporters. It is unclear whether Trump's panic stems from a genuine fear of impending legal consequences, as he has previously been indicted and arrested, or if there are other motives behind his statements. We’ll soon learn if more charges will be coming against Donald Trump, stemming both from the special counsel’s investigation and from the one being conducted in Georgia.
Mike Pence CNN town hall goes horribly wrong
During a CNN town hall hosted by Dana Bash, Mike Pence tried to differentiate himself from Donald Trump but also came up short with a number of his answers. He emphasized his disagreement with Donald Trump's view of Vladimir Putin, stating that he considers Putin a war criminal while Trump sees him as a genius. Pence expressed support for Ukraine's fight for freedom and sovereignty, which Trump has been wishy-washy on. On gun safety, Pence expressed his opposition to stricter gun laws while advocating for the deterrent power of the law. On the topic of abortion, he claimed that the Democratic Party supports abortion on demand until birth, which simply isn’t true. Regarding Trump's potential crimes, Pence called for unity and expressed concern over the indictment of a former president. He declined to answer whether he would pardon Trump if elected president, citing hypotheticals and the uncertainty of his own nomination prospects. Perhaps Pence will get a bump in the polls now that he has officially announced his candidacy, but even if he does, he’ll be a longshot to win this race.
From yesterday’s show:
Tucker Carlson's new Twitter show is bad. REALLY bad
Tucker Carlson has launched his new Twitter show “Tucker on Twitter,” just weeks after getting fired by Fox News. The first episode was 10 and a half minutes long and was viewed over 100 million times. It revealed a stripped-down version of Carlson without the multimillion-dollar production and flashy set of Fox News. Carlson's monologue focused on the Kakhovka Dam collapse in Ukraine, questioning who was responsible. However, his delivery and pacing were lackluster, and he spent too much time belaboring certain points. Tucker undoubtedly has a large audience, but he primarily built it through corporate media, and it remains uncertain if he can replicate that success independently. The future of Carlson's Twitter show and its ability to retain a substantial audience remains uncertain, but it will be interesting to see how it affects the media landscape going forward.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump employee DRAINED POOL into surveillance room, destroyed footage
A mysterious flood occurred in the surveillance footage room at Mar-a-Lago, which contained important surveillance footage related to Donald Trump's handling of classified documents. A maintenance worker reportedly drained the pool into the surveillance room, causing the flood and destroying possible evidence. It is unclear whether the incident was intentional or accidental. Prosecutors investigating Trump's handling of classified documents have raised suspicions about the incident, as it occurred after the retrieval of classified documents and the obtaining of surveillance footage for tracking White House records at the resort. The flooded room contained computer servers with surveillance video logs, and although the video surveillance system was undamaged, the footage went missing for unknown reasons. The incident is being examined as part of the investigation into possible obstruction of justice. While there is no conclusive evidence linking the flood to a deliberate act ordered by Trump, the circumstances and timing are highly suspicious.

Mike Pence is unfit to be president. Trump was right: Pence IS a wuss, but not for the reasons that Trump gave. He stood by, day after day, listening to Trump's garbage mouth during the meetings in the oval office. By not invoking the 25th Amendment, and removing Trump from office, he allowed this monster (that he helped create) to destroy all that was good in our country. He lacks the balls to be a world leader. He calls himself a "devout Christian," yet he stood silently by. Shame on him.
