Trump Epstein letter and drawing from 'birthday book' released

excerpt:

"HERE IT IS: We got Trump's birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn't exist," the X account for the House Oversight Committee's Democratic minority wrote in a post revealing the letter.

CNBC has requested comment from a spokesman for Trump's legal team.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asserted that the publication of the drawing "PROVES this entire 'Birthday Card' story is false."

"As I have said all along, it's very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," Leavitt said in an X post.

Opinion - A warning from Texas and Ohio about Republicans’ redistricting power-grab

exxerpt:

Meanwhile, in Ohio, Republicans are planning to force congressional maps on the voters similar to the ones that even the Republican-controlled state Supreme Court rejected seven different times as a violation of the state constitution. That is consistent with Republicans’ long history of ignoring the will of Ohioans.

 

TV evangelist Oral Roberts in the 1980's used a similar ploy.

He said that God would call him home if he didn't raise enough money to keep his 'ministry' going..

$4.5 Million in 'Quick Money' Will Prolong His Life, Oral Roberts Says

excerpt:

TULSA, Okla. — Oral Roberts needs about $4.5 million in “quick money” from followers or God won’t let him live past March, the evangelist says.

“I’m asking you to help me extend my life,” Roberts told his television audience Sunday. “We’re at the point where God could call Oral Roberts home.”

 

Trump dilemma with Kennedy. He put him in charge of the health department as payment for him to leave the 2024 presidential race. Now Trump has to grapple with the vaccine denialism of RFK Jr. and the negative effect it will have on Republican constituents.


Trump’s Assessment of RFK Jr.’s Performance Is Kind of Hilarious

excerpt:

"We don’t want to make predictions or anything. But this doesn’t feel like every other situation in which the Trump administration can do whatever it wants and get away with it. Vaccines are popular, including among Republicans. If people want the COVID vaccine and find that they have a hard time getting it, that criticism won’t be easy to contain. And, going forward, if parents find out that they would have to pay out of pocket to vaccinate their children, that criticism really won’t be easy to contain. Another thing that won’t be easy to contain: measles. The marriage between Trump and RFK Jr. was transactional, a deal to clear Kennedy out of the presidential race. And Trump rarely has a problem ending relationships that aren’t working out for him anymore."

 

Trump's remark that 'Kennedy means well' is a flimsy apology for him.

Trump pushes back mildly on the vaccine denialism of RFK Jr.


Trump’s Assessment of RFK Jr.’s Performance Is Kind of Hilarious

excerpt:

Even Trump himself, asked later that night about whether he had “full confidence” in what Kennedy is doing, merely responded that Kennedy “means very well.”

 

When the country is sick with measles and Covid, Trump can once again tell the country that RFK Jr. means well.

Trump Gives DoD ‘Secondary’ Name as Department of War, Circumventing Congress

excerpt:

“It signals a move back into an older, more insecure and frightening global order where the world and the peoples of the world, including the peoples of the United States, have to worry about warfare as an everyday function and not as something that should be rare, that should be defended against,” Schmidt said. “There's no reason that you can't have a Department of Defense that is focused on this idea of lethality and not call it a Department of Defense. You do not have to privilege this idea of aggressive war in order to privilege the idea of lethality. You can say the best way to defend my country, the best way to defend the Constitution, is to bulk up the lethality of my military.”

 

Trump changes the name to Department of War.


Trump Gives DoD ‘Secondary’ Name as Department of War, Circumventing Congress

excerpt:

“We’re going Department of War,” Trump said during an Oval Office signing ceremony. “I think it's a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now.”

“It really has to do with winning,” Trump added later. “We should have won every war. We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or ‘wokey.’”

 

Apparently, referring to the 2020 footage of rioting in Portand that Fox melded with mild protests lately, and Trump mistakenly thinking the 2020 rioting is going on today, Trump said lst week that he didn't realize that the protests in Portland are still going on like that and started talking about sending the military into Portland.

 

Trump, misled by video of 2020 protests shown on Fox, threatens to send troops to Portland – as it happened | Trump administration | The Guardian

Misled by video of 2020 protests shown on Fox, Trump threatens to invade Portland and 'wipe out' protesters

Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he might send national guard troops to Portland, Oregon, apparently because he was misled about the scale of small protests outside an immigration detention facility there by a TV report which incorrectly presented video recorded during a protest in 2020 as having taken place in the city this summer.

“I will say this, I watched today, I didn’t know that was continuing to go on, but Portland is unbelievable, what’s going on,” Trump said. He then claimed, incorrectly, that he had seen video evidence of “the destruction of the city”.

Article from October 2019 when Trump changed his mind and said the G-7 summit wouldn't be at his Doral resort.

Once again, he's saying that the economic summit in 2026 will be at his Doral resort. It sounds like he's not going to change his mind this time.

excerpt:

"After days of relentless criticism, President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course late Saturday when he announced he would scrap plans to hold next year’s G-7 gathering of world leaders at one of his family’s resorts.
