Those of us who understand Donald Trump aren’t surprised by what RFK Jr. says in this clip with Tucker Carlson. Trump isn’t about politics. He does want to be a great president who carves out a different path for Americans. Donald J. Trump wants a revolution.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to ramp up the U.S. pressure campaign on Iran by enacting crippling sanctions on the Islamic regime immediately after taking office. The Wall Street Journal reported that the plans include “drastically increasing sanctions” on the country and killing its oil industry as part of an “aggressive strategy to undercut Tehran’s support of violent Mideast proxies and its nuclear program.” Trump is expected to move rapidly to cut off Iran’s oil revenue, including by going after “foreign ports and traders who handle Iranian oil.” The report said that Trump’s new “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran will also factor in the fact that the regime has repeatedly tried to assassinate him and some of his top officials from his first administration. “People tend to take that stuff personally,” said Mick Mulroy, a top Pentagon official during Trump’s first term. “If he’s going to be hawkish on any particular country, designated major adversaries, it’s Iran.” Prosecutors unsealed an indictment this week against Farhad Shakeri, 51, of Iran, on multiple charges, including murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, money laundering conspiracy, conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and sanctions against the Government of Iran. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Prosecutors said that he hired two individuals to kill an Iranian dissident and two Jewish Americans. However, with the elections approaching, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) told Shakeri to pause his efforts to kill the dissident and the two Jewish Americans because they wanted him to focus on killing Trump. “SHAKERI indicated to IRGC Official-1 that this would cost a ‘huge’ amount of money,” the indictment said. “In response, IRGC Official-1 said that ‘we have already spent a lot of money [s]o the money’s not an issue,’ which SHAKERI understood to mean that the IRGC previously had spent a significant sum of money on efforts to murder Victim-4 and was willing to continue spending a lot of money in its attempt to procure Victim-4’s assassination.” During a meeting just one month ago with the IRGC official, Shakeri was instructed to have a plan in place to assassinate Trump within a week and that if he could not do it, Iran would put the plan on hold because they believed Trump “would lose the election and, afterward, it would be easier to assassinate.”

The New York Times is under fire after the paper seemingly downplayed the attack on Jews in Amsterdam Thursday night, calling it “soccer violence.” Organized gangs reportedly assaulted Jews leaving a soccer game where Maccabi Tel Aviv played. Videos posted to social media show assailants hunting, beating, and injuring Israelis while shouting “Free Palestine” and curses in Arabic.  Hi @nytimes, We fixed it for you: pic.twitter.com/SjcLqHATcL — David Saranga (@DavidSaranga) November 8, 2024 The Times dismissed the attack — which Israeli officials are calling a pogrom — as “violence tied to a soccer game.” David Saranga, an Israeli diplomat, led the charge against the paper, stating that their headline should change from “Violence Tied to Soccer Game Prompts Dozens of Arrests in Amsterdam” to “Violent Antisemitic Pogrom Prompts Israeli Rescue Mission To Amsterdam.” The Times later changed its headline to “Israeli soccer fans injured in Amsterdam Attacks That Authorities Call Antisemitic.” Saranga also suggested the subhead read, “The police said 57 people were arrested after terrorists lynch Jews who were in Amsterdam to watch Israeli Team. The Attacks were driven by antisemitism.” The Times later changed their subhead to “Dutch officials said that people had attacked Israeli fans as tensions flared around a soccer match.” On X, several users attacked the Times for the headline, accusing the outlet of lying.

Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called the attack a “pogrom.” “‘Globalize the intifada’ was not just a slogan for these terrorist supporters,” Danon told Fox News. “I urge the Dutch government to help all Israelis and Jewish people immediately. It’s time to respond with force against these barbaric rioters.” President Joe Biden condemned the attacks Friday afternoon, calling them “despicable.”  “The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted,” Biden wrote in a statement on X. “We’ve been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.”

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blamed President Joe Biden this week for Vice President Kamala Harris’ blowout loss to President-elect Donald Trump. The former Speaker of the House — who played a key role in whipping up Democrats behind the scenes over the summer to force Biden out of the race after his disastrous debate performance against Trump — made the remarks during an interview with The New York Times. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi said. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.” “And as I say, Kamala may have, I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward,” she claimed. “But we don’t know that. That didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary at that time. If it had been much earlier, it would have been different.” However, Pelosi said in September that it was a fair and open primary. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it,” she said. “Nobody else got in the race.” “We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it. Nobody else got in the race,” @SpeakerPelosi tells @kadiagoba. pic.twitter.com/y2O0JhKBgc — Semafor (@semafor) September 18, 2024 In the interview with the Times, Pelosi fumed over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) saying that the Democrats lost because they focused on identity politics instead of economic issues. “Bernie Sanders has not won,” Pelosi claimed. “With all due respect, and I have a great deal of respect for him, for what he stands for, but I don’t respect him saying that the Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class families.” “Guns, God and gays — that’s the way they say it,” she continued. “Guns, that’s an issue; gays, that’s an issue, and now they’re making the trans issue such an important issue in their priorities; and in certain communities, what they call God, what we call a woman’s right to choose.”

There is no doubt that President-elect Donald Trump has won a sweeping victory, becoming only the second U.S. president to be elected to a second, non-consecutive term in one of the most remarkable political comeback stories in American history. But his victory in the Electoral College would’ve been even bigger if two factors hadn’t cheated him out of the additional votes he should have received.  Why do I say this? Because of the jarring errors the Census Bureau admitted it made in its population numbers for multiple states, and its unfair inclusion of aliens in the population used for congressional apportionment. That inclusion dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens, distorting representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the Electoral College.  Let me explain.  First, the costly errors. In 2022, the Census Bureau issued a report in which it announced that a post-census survey revealed that its count was wrong in 14 states. It undercounted the populations of Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas, while overcounting the populations of Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Utah. The errors ranged from a low of 1.49% to a high of 6.79%.  Due to these errors, Florida did not receive two additional congressional seats it should have gotten, Texas lost out on one additional seat, and Minnesota and Rhode Island each retained a seat they should have lost. Colorado received an additional seat it didn’t deserve.  Since Trump won Florida and Texas, he should have gotten an additional three Electoral College votes from those states. Kamala Harris should have had three Electoral College votes deducted from her total with her wins in Colorado, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.  Second, the inclusion of aliens, both legal and illegal, in the population used for apportionment also had a significant effect on the election since they are included in the population used to determine how many votes each state is entitled to in the Electoral College. That’s a major reason why liberals fought so hard to prevent a citizenship question being reinstated on the 2020 Census form; they don’t want the citizen population available for apportionment or redistricting.  We have had an unprecedented, intentionally engineered influx of illegal aliens in the four years of the Biden-Harris administration—at least 10 million. But even before this latest population explosion of illegal aliens that has made the problem even worse, the Congressional Research Service in 2015 issued a report on what would happen if apportionment were based solely on citizen population. According to the CRS, that would have shifted seven congressional seats.  Gaining one seat each (with the 2024 winner noted): Louisiana (Trump), Missouri (Trump), Montana (Trump), North Carolina (Trump), Ohio (Trump), Oklahoma (Trump), and Virginia (Harris). California (Harris) would lose four congressional seats and thus four Electoral College Votes.  How does all of this stack up? If you exclude the alien population from apportionment and the Electoral College as they should be, and correct the Census Bureau’s mistakes, then Donald Trump should have been awarded an additional nine Electoral College votes, while Kamala Harris should have had six votes deducted from her total.  The final result with these corrections? As this article was being written, Trump had 295 Electoral College votes to Harris’s 226, with Arizona and Nevada still outstanding. But adjusting for the errors and inclusion of aliens means that Trump actually should have won 304 votes and Harris should only have 220 (not including Arizona’s 11 votes and Nevada’s 6 votes). In a close election, even those numbers could make a difference.  This fundamental injustice ought to be fixed. There is no excuse for what happened at the Census Bureau. It needs a major review of its personnel, procedures and policies, to determine the cause of its mistakes. It did not make this large a substantive error in the 2010 Census, in which the Bureau’s post-census survey disclosed a mere 0.01 percent overcount.  Second, there should be a concerted push to add a citizenship question to the 2030 Census form and to change the apportionment formula used by the Census Bureau through legislation such as the Equal Representation Act to exclude “individuals who are not citizens of the United States.”  The mandate won by Donald Trump in both the Electoral College and in the popular vote gives the president the authority and the support of the American people to do the right thing when it comes to ensuring their franchise and protecting the voting rights of American citizens free from errors and foreign interference. * * * Hans von Spakovsky is Manager, Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow, Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Friday blamed those who forced President Joe Biden out of the presidential race for President-elect Donald Trump’s victory this week. Fetterman made the remarks during an interview with Semafor while discussing his desire for Biden to have been the party’s nominee after he won the primary. “For those that decided and moved to break Biden, and then you got the election that you wanted, it’s appropriate to own the outcome and fallout,” he said. He acknowledged that Biden’s debate against Trump at the end of June was “undeniably rough,” so he understood people who demanded that there be an alternative candidate. “The options: Double down on the only person that’s ever beat Trump, or demand an alternative,” he said. “When the outcome didn’t support your thesis and actions, then own it.” “There’s a lot of egos, institutions and reputations that championed the alternative,” he continued. “When you take a reasonable, calculated risk to f*** around, embrace your culpability for what you found out. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ He said that it was going to be tough to beat Trump after the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania because that created an “incredibly powerful visual.” “Can you imagine if somebody had a bullet hit Obama and he had that moment: You know, fight, fight, fight?” he said. “Can you imagine how that would have resonated for Democrats? That’s never happened in American political history. There have been assassination attempts, but they never created that kind of a dynamic.” He said that his party’s attacks on X owner Elon Musk projected weakness. “And I promise you: Musk doesn’t give a s***,” Fetterman said. Fetterman’s remarks come in contrast to what Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told The New York Times on Friday where she blamed Biden for Harris’ loss. “Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” Pelosi said. “The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary.” Pelosi’s remarks contradicted what she said in September about the party having a fair and open primary. “We had an open primary and [Kamala Harris] won it,” she said. “Nobody else got in the race.”
