The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee (RNC) smashed March’s fundraising record and raised over $76 million in April, according to the RNC.
The RNC made the announcement following its Spring Finance Retreat, affirming that the two entities raised more than $76 million combined in April. That is over ten million more than their $65.6 million haul in March. That same month, RNC co-chair Lara Trump noted that the first major fundraising event with their joint fundraising group, Trump 47 Committee, raised $40 million in a single event.
“It took three presidents — Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and God bless us all, the current President of the United States, as hard as it is to say, Joe Biden — to raise $26 million at the glitzy Radio City event last week,” Lara Trump toldBreitbart News Daily at the time.
Further, the RNC said in a release that more than 50 percent of the donations from April stem from small dollar donors.
“The Republican Party is turning up the heat and the American people are going all in to re-elect President Donald J. Trump and Republicans down the ballot in November,” the RNC said in a press release.
As president, Joe Biden has tried every trick he can to limit or eliminate Second Amendment rights, but a coalition of state attorneys general is fighting back.
For well over a year, the Biden administration has been looking to criminalize millions of gun owners who sell their privately owned firearms to another private citizen, thereby redefining common, everyday gun owners as “gun dealers.”
Now, Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is attempting to implement Biden’s sneaky, backdoor attack on law-abiding gun owners.
According to an April 12 report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act made a subtle change in the definition of who can be considered a “gun dealer” by eliminating the language that once defined a “gun dealer” as someone who engages in repetitive sales of guns, ammunition or accessories with the “principal objective” of making a “livelihood or profit.”
The bill, which Biden signed into law on June 25, 2022, eliminates the “livelihood” portion of that definition, so that only the “profit” remains.
Kentucky Republican Secretary of State Michael Adams, who worked to expand early voting in the Bluegrass State and has spoken out against election denialism in his own party, has been chosen to receive the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award this year.
In its announcement Monday, the JFK Library Foundation said Adams was recognized “for expanding voting rights and standing up for free and fair elections despite party opposition and death threats from election deniers.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the government’s decision to terminate Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel, citing the Qatari-owned network as a provocateur of “incitement.” The closure was unanimously agreed upon by the cabinet. Reacting strongly, Al Jazeera labeled the Israeli government’s action as “criminal.”
The restrictions also extend to foreign journalists, notably barring them from entering Gaza, leaving Al Jazeera’s personnel among the few reporters present on the ground. This decision has been informed by longstanding accusations from Israeli authorities of the network’s alleged anti-Israel bias. The criticism has escalated following the deadly Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Israeli government has escalated its measures against Al Jazeera by raiding its offices and halting its broadcast amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza today. Describing the network as a vehicle for Hamas propaganda, Israel’s actions culminated on Sunday when police stormed Al Jazeera’s premises at the Ambassador hotel in Jerusalem. Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi publicized the raid with a video on X/Twitter, showcasing officers and inspectors seizing equipment from a hotel room.
It’s always nice when your political opponents make your arguments for you. And in the recent dustup over the $60 billion Ukraine subsidy bill — which in late April passed the House and Senate — that’s precisely what foreign policy hawks have done.
As many beltway wonks have observed, increasing debate in the United States over funding the two-year-old war in Ukraine — not to mention our myriad other military commitments around the globe — has led many U.S. allies to reconsider their own defense spending.
In other words, just the fact that there is no longer a consensus about America’s “policeman of the world” post-Cold War security strategy among the American people and their representatives is persuading our allies to meet the various military commitments we have been demanding of them since Ronald Reagan was president. That should be designated a strategic win, but, as interpreted by our blinkered foreign policy establishment — who have unswervingly endorsed the growing number of U.S. military disasters this century — it is somehow a loss.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced tactical nuclear weapons drills in response to “belligerent statements” made by Western leaders threatening to put troops on the ground in Ukraine.
“During the exercises, a set of measures will be carried out to practice the issues of preparation and use of non-strategic nuclear weapons,” Russia’s defense ministry said Monday.
The pro-Hamas encampment at George Washington University in DC has been in full, hideous swing for days. City officials refused to allow the police to help the school clear the encampment, despite an explicit request from GW to do so, citing bad ‘optics.’ Since then, the mob overran officers and barricades to expand their “encampment,” completely covered a Washington statue with Palestinian garb and other desecrations, booed and jeered when an American flag was unfurled overlooking their terrorism-supporting ‘protest,’ then projected a ‘Genocide Joe’ message over the flag. What patriotic frat boys on various campuses seem to instinctively understand is that these people aren’t just anti-Israel; they overwhelmingly hate America, too. That’s what drives so much of the dirtbag left. These people despise Western civilization, and they’re deeply radical at heart….
What might DC officials think of these “optics”? They generally coddle criminals, so it’s unclear if they’re offended by any of this. Meanwhile, scenes at MIT:
NEW: PRO-TERROR MIT PROTESTORS CHANT ‘DEATH TO ZIONISTS’ IN ARABIC
Two days ago, the @AP live-streamed antisemitic protests at the MIT pro-Hamas encampment.
In this clip, the Arabic chant says (twice) “Min el-maiyeh lel mayieh, almawt lilsahayina”.
They’re literally chanting for death, in English and Arabic, on US soil. I’ll leave you with thoughts from the leader of the University of Florida, who has handled this correctly from the start:
DC Metropolitan Police Department said that it would not help clear the Gaza camp set up by students and activists at George Washington University (GWU).
Metropolitan Police Department Chief of Police Pamela Smith said on Thursday, “I think here in the District of Columbia, we allow people the opportunity to have freedom of speech, and that’s what we’re seeing right now. There has been no violence, no violent behavior, no confrontations,” according to The Hill.
“If the behavior changes, then our procedures and our process might change.”
A Rhode Island court ordered the release of an illegal alien who was charged with child molestation and domestic assault, ignoring Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detainer request, according to a recent press release by Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston Field Office.
A 22-year-old Guatemalan was apprehended by Border Patrol in November 2018 after he attempted to illegally enter the country in Nogales, Arizona. The unnamed man was served with a notice to appear and released into the interior of the country.
Providence Police Department issued an arrest warrant for the individual on November 21, 2022, on child molestation and sexual assault charges, the ICE’s ERO Boston Field Office reported. He was later apprehended on February 28, 2024, for the outstanding warrant as well as domestic assault charges.
Pro-Hamas protests are still ongoing and some students are learning that “standing up for something you believe in” has a cost, as their entitled reality is crumbling around them. Today’s show breaks it down.
While some colleges are allowing brats to continue blocking Jewish students from class, and have even canceled graduation ceremonies because administrators are that pathetic, other university officials are holding these students accountable.
