Another day, another Fake News story out of the anti-Trump media. This time it comes from the Atlantic, a once reputable, if left leaning, publication. They published a story claiming the reason the President didn’t visit the American cemetery at Belleau Wood in 2018 was because he didn’t want to visit “losers and suckers”. The author, who I decline to name, based his story on 4 anonymous sources with “ties to the administration”.

Odd, a simple google search would have set him straight. There are detailed records and contemporaneous accounts that clearly state the reason he didn’t go was due to weather. What’s more, then Chief of Staff John Kelly was the one who broached the idea of not going.

Additionally, since the publication, at least 10 former and current White House staffers who were there in the room have gone on the record saying nothing of the sort ever happened. Even John Bolton, who is clearly not one of the president’s admirers, has gone on the record saying the allegations are false.


I made note of the fact that the US Marshalls were deputizing Oregon State troopers a couple of days ago. Turns out, the deputized OSP troopers are charging rioters with violating of 18 U.S.C. Section 231. What’s that you might rightfully ask? Well it goes like this:

Whoever commits or attempts to commit any act to obstruct, impede, or interfere with any fireman or law enforcement officer lawfully engaged in the lawful performance of his official duties incident to and during the commission of a civil disorder

And you might ask what’s a civil disorder? Glad you asked. Section 232 18 USC defines “civil disorder” as follows:

The term “civil disorder” means any public disturbance involving acts of violence by assemblages of three or more persons, which causes an immediate danger of or results in damage or injury to the property or person of any other individual.

I’m going to allow one more question, what’s the penalty? Up to 5 years in federal, don’t drop the soap, prison. So much for that douchecanoe Mike Schmidt and not charging rioters.



The Trump administration has brokered another historic peace deal. This time between Kosovo and Serbia.

“I am pleased to announce yet another historic commitment.  Serbia and Kosovo have each committed to economic normalization.  After a violent and tragic history and years of failed negotiations, my Administration proposed a new way of bridging the divide. By focusing on job creation and economic growth, the two countries were able to reach a real breakthrough on economic cooperation across a broad range of issues,” President Trump released in a statement. “We have also made additional progress on reaching peace in the Middle East. Kosovo and Israel have agreed to normalization of ties and the establishment of diplomatic relations. Serbia has committed to opening a commercial office in Jerusalem this month and to move its embassy to Jerusalem by July.”  

Just a week ago, the administration brokered a deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.


The National Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed Donald Trump for President. The organization is comprised of over 300,000 members, and prides itself on promoting the enforcement of law and order.



An as yet unidentified woman in Boulder Colorado is accused of attacking a 12 year old boy over a Trump sign. The boy was riding his bike when the woman, who was riding a moped, turned around and started hitting the boy. The woman allegedly hit the boy with a closed fist on his arms and the back of his head four or five times and scratched him. The boy told police the woman attempted unsuccessfully to steal the Trump sign before leaving.
