Former President Donald Trump’s trial date on charges related to the events of Jan. 6, 2020, is no longer visible on the public calendar of the Washington, D.C., federal court system. Initially scheduled for March 4, the absence of a trial date has sparked speculation among Trump supporters.

However, The Washington Post reports that this delay was expected due to Trump’s appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The appeal questions whether Trump should be immune from prosecution for actions taken during his presidency. Despite this, Republican Rep.

Anna Paulina Luna seems to perceive a connection between a letter sent from her office to special counsel Jack Smith’s office.

Luna refrained from clarifying the rationale behind her trust in Smith, who lacks authority over the court’s schedule, as the individual responsible for furnishing “answers” concerning the alteration.

Bill Shipley, an attorney who has represented several defendants involved in the events of January 6th, dismissed the notion that the change in date would lead to the dismissal of the case against Trump as “idiotic.”

Everyone posting theories about why the US v. Trump DC case was removed from the March 3 calendar — which I noted here yesterday — are making clowns of yourself. Your GUESSES are idiotic.

Tomorrow was the day the Juror questionnaires were supposed to be returned to the Court…

Shipley clarified that the majority of the jury selection process seems to be still pending, while expressing his concern over the theories being circulated by Trump supporters on social media, which he deemed as self-ridiculing behavior.

“So all you supposedly ‘In the know’ X-sters, just stop posting nonsensical conspiracy theories about why the Court — NOT JACK SMITH — removed the trial from the March 4 calendar,” he wrote.

It appears that Trump and his legal team did not view the change on the docket as a significant victory, as there was no evidence of him celebrating or boasting about it on social media.

“A spokesman for Smith said the office had no comment, and spokespeople for Trump and for the court did not immediately respond to requests for comment,” the Post reported.

The judge presiding over the case, Tanya S. Chutkan, had previously stated that all trial deadlines would be put on hold while Trump pursued the appeal of his immunity status through the D.C. Circuit, as reported by the Post.

According to Newsweek, arguments were presented to the appellate court on Jan. 9, but there is currently no indication of when the three-judge panel will make a ruling on the matter.

The timing of this ruling could determine whether Smith is able to bring the former president to trial before Election Day in November. Additionally, it may also have an impact on the schedules of the three other criminal trials that Trump is facing.

After receiving support from fifty-nine Democrats, the House successfully passed a bill aimed at deporting illegal aliens who were caught driving under the influence. The measure received a 274-150 vote on Thursday, with the majority of votes coming from the GOP. However, it is worth noting that one hundred fifty Democrats voted against the bill. Representative Barry Moore (R-AL), the bill’s sponsor, expressed his joy and appreciation for its passage through a statement.

“In the United States, someone dies in a crash with an impaired driver every 45 minutes,” Moore said.

“I lost two of my young newlywed constituents to an illegal immigrant driving under the influence of alcohol.”

The proposed legislation aims to automatically deport and permanently ban individuals who are in the U.S. illegally and have been charged with a DUI. This comes in response to a recent incident where an illegal border crosser from El Salvador, who had previously been deported four times, was involved in a fatal car crash while under the influence of alcohol.

The issue of immigration and border security has been a long-standing concern for Republicans, and it has gained even more urgency this year as polls indicate that likely 2024 voters are increasingly worried about the current state of affairs. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has also been addressing the border situation more forcefully, although his actions have yet to yield significant results. He has recently pledged to close the U.S.-Mexico border if given the authority through legislation that is currently being negotiated between the Senate and the White House. Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has made the border a central focus since assuming his position in October.

He led a delegation of over 60 House Republicans to Eagle Pass, Texas, and has consistently criticized Biden for policies that he believes have contributed to the migrant crisis. House GOP leaders are also planning to hold a chamber-wide vote on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has been involved in the border negotiations between the Senate and the White House.

The White House and its supporters have accused Republicans of using the border issue for political gain and have emphasized the need for Johnson to approve more funding and authority for the president in order to address the crisis effectively.

“They don’t want to solve the problem, they want to keep the problem going as a campaign issue,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) said during the debate on the DUI bill.

“So don’t come up here and talk about the problems on the southern border if you won’t give the president any means to deal with it.”

Moore argued, “They made it a campaign issue when Biden came in on day one.”

Biden was blamed for exacerbating the border crisis through the revocation of Trump administration measures such as the “Remain In Mexico” policy.

“Biden has every tool in the toolbox to shut the southern border down… we don’t need more money, we need to apply the laws that are on the books,” Moore said.

On Wednesday, the impeachment inquiry sent a formal request to White House Counsel Edward Siskel, demanding that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) provide all versions of then-Vice President Joe Biden’s speech regarding the firing of Burisma Holdings’ prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

The inquiry is specifically interested in obtaining the original drafts of the speech, as Joe Biden himself boasted in 2018 about successfully pressuring for Shokin’s removal. This removal was a prerequisite for Ukraine to receive a crucial $1 billion loan guarantee, as Joe Biden himself explained.

More than five months ago, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) had already requested the original drafts of Joe Biden’s speech. However, the White House has consistently refused to authorize NARA to release them to Congress.

During the Obama administration, Joe Biden held the role of the designated foreign policy representative for Ukraine. The House Oversight Committee argues that Joe Biden had threatened to withhold U.S. aid to Ukraine in 2015 unless then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko fired Shokin, who was responsible for investigating the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. It is worth noting that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, served on the board of Burisma and earned $1 million annually. However, his monthly compensation was reduced by half two months after his father’s tenure as vice president ended.

“This White House has previously permitted NARA to provide Congress with presidential records related to the Trump Administration after only one month of White House review,” the inquiry wrote the White House. “We expect the White House to do the same in this instance.”

“Such a lengthy delay in processing a discrete and limited category of documents is unacceptable and appears to represent an attempt to obstruct the Committees’ legitimate investigation,” it wrote. “These dilatory tactics must cease, and the White House must permit NARA to release these documents forthwith.”

Mike Gill, a highly skilled Republican executive who served as the chief operating officer at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during the Donald Trump administration, fell victim to a violent carjacking spree in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.

Tragically, the assailant was fatally shot by the police in Maryland early Tuesday morning. As a result of the shooting incident that took place at 5:45 p.m., Mike Gill is currently hospitalized in critical condition. The incident occurred near the White House on K Street in downtown D.C. while he was picking up his wife, who is employed as an education lawyer.

“We can confirm that Mike Gill was the victim of the shooting at the 900 block of K Street Northwest on Monday evening and is in critical condition. Out of respect for the family, we have nothing additional to add at this time,” Erica Richardson, a spokesperson for the Gill family, said.

The Washington Post has reported that after Gill was shot, it is believed that the same person was involved in at least two cases of carjacking and one attempted carjacking. Tragically, one of the victims in these incidents has passed away. The police have stated that the attacker entered the parked car, shot the victim, and fled on foot. Gill, the victim, subsequently collapsed outside the vehicle.

He had called his wife to say, “Hey, I’m downstairs,” and when she arrived at the ground floor, he had been shot, with the wife rushing out and saying, “Oh my God, that’s my husband.”

Witness Yolanda Douglas said the wife “ran toward her husband and grabbed his hand. ‘What happened?’ she asked, but he did not respond.”

Douglas “saw the victim, in a dress shirt and sweater, sprawled on the pavement with one foot still in the passenger’s side of a car. His right hand was twitching as blood pooled around his head,” the Post said.

Approximately one hour later, the suspect made an unsuccessful endeavor to forcefully steal another automobile on Third Street NE. Following this, the suspect fatally shot an individual on the street and took control of their vehicle.

Law enforcement authorities have confirmed that an individual on K Street possessed information about the wrongdoer and cooperated with the police in identifying the suspect. The car that was taken was found in Prince George’s County, Maryland, where the suspect then forcibly seized a Toyota and later commandeered a rideshare vehicle.

Around 2:30 am, an individual believed to be the perpetrator of a carjacking incident fired a gun at a Maryland State Police vehicle while passing by on D.C. 295. The Nissan vehicle was subsequently discovered abandoned in Prince George’s County. During the investigation of the abandoned car, an armed individual approached the officers. In response, the police fatally shot the individual, as reported by the Post.

Numerous calls are being received urging the House to expel Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) following her statements made in her home state last week. During a gathering of Somalis, she expressed her support for the country of her birth and her previous residence before coming to the United States and being elected to Congress.

A three-minute video clip featuring Omar went viral on Sunday, allegedly translated by individuals claiming to be officials from Somaliland, a self-declared independent region within Somalia that has sought sovereignty for many years, despite lacking international recognition as an independent nation.

Omar delivered her remarks on Saturday at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, during an event organized to celebrate the recent re-election of Said Abdullahi Deni as the President of the Puntland State of Somalia. These comments from Omar coincide with ongoing tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia regarding Somaliland. It has been reported that Ethiopia has reached an agreement with Somaliland, recognizing it as a separate independent nation from Somalia. In return, Ethiopia, a landlocked country, would gain access to a 12-mile coastal area in the region through a lease agreement.

Ilhan Omar says she has a very special and close relationship with the President of Somalia. She calls him her “uncle” and he calls her his “girl.”

She also refers to him as “our president” while the entire audience in Minnesota cheers. pic.twitter.com/YFaSt19PGD

Somalia decided to reject the agreement, stating:

“There is no space for mediation unless Ethiopia retracts its illegal [memorandum of understanding] and reaffirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia,” the government noted in a statement.

Omar’s remarks were translated to reveal she was reffering to the agreement between Ethiopia and Somaliland: “A few days ago, we heard the news about some people claiming to be Somalis getting into an agreement with Ethiopia.”

She went on to say:

“I got calls from a lot of people saying, “Ilhan, you need to talk to the U.S. government; what is the government of the U.S. doing?’”My answer to their question was that the U.S. government would do what we tell them to do about it.

We need to be confident in ourselves. We live in this country; it is the country that we pay taxes to, and it is the country that one of your daughters is in. As long as I am in the U.S. Congress, no one will take away the Somali sea or water. And I will not support the U.S. government in supporting other people to rob us.

Rest assured that it will not happen, Minnesota. The lady that you sent to Congress knows about you, and she feels your interest like you all do.”

She went on to thank Somali President Hassan Sheikh for “reminding everyone that even if Somalia is in crisis, we are people of talent who know their country and whose country cannot be put in danger.”

“I want to congratulate the Somalis in Minnesota and the Somalis everywhere on how you all are united and how you all supported our President, who needs our support,” she concluded, per the outlet. “Somalia is Somalia, and Somalis are all one; we are all brothers and sisters. No one can divide our land; we are missing land, and we will search for it soon. No one will divide whatever land that we have now.”

Omar’s comments in the viral video clip have been accurately translated, aligning closely with the translation provided to The Daily Wire. This translation effectively conveys her main message, which emphasizes her dedication to advocating for her homeland from within the U.S. Congress. It suggests that this cause holds significant importance to her, if not being her topmost priority. As a result, numerous Republicans have criticized Omar and are urging Congress to remove her from office.

“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!” said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“Listen to it all,” added Donald Trump Jr. “It’s not hyperbole when we say our representatives are putting America last.”

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) added: “Ilhan Omar’s appalling, Somalia-first comments are a slap in the face to the Minnesotans she was elected to serve and a direct violation of her oath of office. She should resign in disgrace.”

“What if @Ilhan fought for Somalia from Somalia?” asked Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA). “Might be time to discuss expelling another member of Congress.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded by saying “She flaunts using her position as congresswoman to protect Somalia’s border while our border is invaded by MILLIONS of illegals who are a danger to America.”

Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN)announced: “Terrorist sympathizer Ilhan Omar has shown her true colors. Her treasonous comments and allegiance to Somalia are a violation of her oath of office. Our elected officials have a duty to our nation, and our nation only. We must be vigilant when deciding who is allowed to enter our country.”

Former President Donald Trump is deserving of acknowledgment for his efforts in brokering the 2020 Abraham Accords, which aimed to bring peace to the Middle East. However, it is highly unlikely that he will receive formal recognition for this achievement.

Despite this near-certain denial, it should not trouble him in the slightest. Fox News recently reported that Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney of New York has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, highlighting his contributions to fostering peace in the region.

“Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” Tenney said.

“For decades, bureaucrats, foreign policy ‘professionals’, and international organizations insisted that additional Middle East peace agreements were impossible without a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. President Trump proved that to be false.”

If the mere nomination fails to cause liberals to become extremely upset (which has occurred in the past), then Tenney’s criticism of the foreign-policy establishment is sure to achieve that effect.

Undoubtedly, it is quite satisfying to imagine pompous bureaucrats losing their composure. Nevertheless, Tenney’s remark unequivocally establishes that the former president is truly deserving of the recognition.

“The valiant efforts by President Trump in creating the Abraham Accords were unprecedented and continue to go unrecognized by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, underscoring the need for his nomination today,” she wrote.

Moreover, the current situation necessitates it. In fact, the striking disparity between the relatively stable Trump era, which witnessed the defeat of the Islamic State group, and the prevailing global disorder under President Joe Biden, constantly overwhelms us.

“Now more than ever, when Joe Biden’s weak leadership on the international stage is threatening our country’s safety and security, we must recognize Trump for his strong leadership and his efforts to achieve world peace. I am honored to nominate former President Donald Trump today and am eager for him to receive the recognition he deserves,” Tenney wrote.

The ex-president has previously been nominated for the award, with the nominations originating from esteemed political figures in Norway, Sweden, and Australia.

On the social media platform X, the announcement of Tuesday’s nomination garnered positive responses. However, it also sparked doubt regarding the likelihood of justice being served.

As an example, a conservative account boasting over 112K followers cynically implied that the Nobel Committee might bestow the award upon the current president, who is often associated with warmongering.

“President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize — but they’ll probably give it to Joe Biden because the system is rigged,” Szypula tweeted.

JUST IN:

President Trump has been nominated by @RepTenney for a Nobel Peace Prize over his historic Abraham Accords, which he signed while in office.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a member of the progressive “Squad” in Congress, is currently being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations of misappropriating government funds designated for private security. According to Punchbowl News, the DOJ has initiated a criminal probe into Bush, with six sources confirming the allegations.

In light of this investigation, the Justice Department has issued a subpoena to the House Sergeant at Arms, requesting records pertaining to the misuse of federal security funds. As a result, the House clerk has officially notified the House chamber that the Sergeant at Arms’ office has been served with a grand jury subpoena by the DOJ.

The official House website states:

“The Sergeant at Arms is the chief law enforcement and protocol officer of the House of Representatives and is responsible for maintaining order in the House side of the United States Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms reviews and implements all issues relating to the safety and security of Members of Congress and the Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms also coordinates extensively with the U.S. Capitol Police and various intelligence agencies to assess threats against Members of Congress and the Capitol complex.”

Initially, the reports refrained from disclosing the identity of the House Democrat involved in the investigation. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that a House Democrat had previously undergone an investigation by the Federal Elections Commission due to the alleged misuse of campaign funds for personal security.

Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Bush persisted in compensating Cortney Merritts, now her husband, for private security services even after their marriage.

President Joe Biden is currently experiencing historically low disapproval ratings and is actively searching for ways to revitalize his campaign by attracting new, youthful energy. Meanwhile, his probable opponent in the upcoming election, former President Donald Trump, continues to gain momentum in the Republican primaries.

In order to infuse his re-election bid with a “fresh vibe,” Biden’s team is exploring potential endorsements from influential figures, including celebrities. One notable name that has emerged is Taylor Swift, a renowned star who holds the distinction of being the first artist to achieve a tour gross exceeding $1 billion, with an impressive 4.35 million tickets sold across 60 tour dates in 2023.

Biden and his team are particularly concerned about connecting with voting blocs that are currently shifting away from the president, such as young, black, and Latino voters. While Biden secured the support of young voters by a margin of 20 percentage points in 2020, he now finds himself in a tie with Trump among this demographic. This can be attributed, in part, to concerns regarding Biden’s age, his stance on Israel, and the state of the economy. Democratic allies and lawmakers are apprehensive about Biden’s ability to win over these voters and secure a second term.

“To reach young voters, Biden’s campaign has focused heavily on social media, using videos from influencers and even those with a niche following to promote its message. The president recently visited the home of a man who had his federal loans canceled through Biden’s program, a focal point of Biden’s reelection campaign. The man’s son posted a video of Biden’s visit on TikTok, drawing millions of views,” the Washington Examiner reported.

“The campaign is discussing opportunities for celebrities to promote the president on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, according to the New York Times. There are plans to hold a fundraiser with two former Democratic presidents, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, sources told NBC News. However, the end game is to receive an endorsement from Swift, who has become influential both on and off the stage on social media. Her recent appearances at NFL games have grown her fan base dramatically as well,” the outlet added.

NEW – Biden is hoping for an endorsement from Taylor Swift. That is his "anti-Trump" battle plan. pic.twitter.com/JabhVwLpNJ

— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) January 29, 2024

In 2020, Taylor Swift expressed her endorsement for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, demonstrating her support. As a result of her single post on Instagram, a remarkable 35,000 new voter registrations were recorded.

Swift’s dedicated efforts to raise funds for Biden’s campaign hold the potential to channel millions of dollars into the cause. Furthermore, there have been discussions regarding the possibility of inviting Biden to one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows, which is scheduled to continue its second leg on February 7th in Tokyo, Japan.

Recognizing the advantages of having Swift rally behind the Democratic cause, other prominent figures such as Governor Gavin Newsom of California have encouraged her to further engage with Biden’s campaign following her influential get-out-the-vote post on Instagram.

“Taylor Swift stands tall and unique,” the California governor said. “What she was able to accomplish just in getting young people activated to consider that they have a voice and that they should have a choice in the next election, I think, is profoundly powerful.”

Vice President Kamala Harris is currently embarking on a nationwide tour to actively involve young voters, rather than depending solely on celebrity endorsements. During a recent interview, she expressed her admiration for Generation Z, referring to them as an exceptional generation.

“It’s a lived experience for them,” Harris said. “They’ve only known the climate crisis. Most of them have endured active shooter drills between kindergarten and 12th grade. During the height of their reproductive years, they saw the court take away an essential right for them. And so traveling the country makes a difference to one, listen, but to remind people that they are being seen and that what they do matters, including that they vote.”

Following a weekend filled with embarrassing blunders, concerns regarding Democrat President Joe Biden’s capability to hold office are intensifying.

As previously reported by Slay News, videos capturing Biden’s public statements over the past few days have been rapidly spreading on social media. On Saturday, during a speech in South Carolina, Biden seemed to deviate from his prepared remarks and embarked on a perplexing tirade.

Biden had traveled to the state to deliver a speech at a political event called South Carolina’s First in the Nation Dinner, held in Columbia. His address took place at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia.

However, instead of sticking to the script provided by his team, Biden began slurring his words and delivering incoherent rants about President Donald Trump. It appeared that Biden completely disregarded the guidance of his handlers and started expressing angry and bewildering statements. The president, visibly disoriented, suddenly transitioned into a state of anger and began shouting without any apparent reason.

A VERY confused Joe Biden starts absolutely SCREAMING as he recounts the recycled "suckers and losers" hoax — slurring the entire way.

During his speech, Biden spoke incoherently and slurred his words. On Monday, a new video clip of the speech surfaced, where Biden referred to Trump as “the sitting president.” While discussing the economy, Biden diverted the conversation to launch an attack against Trump.

“American consumers are facing real confidence in our economy we are building,” Biden rambled as he struggled to read from the teleprompter.

“Let me tell you who else is noticing that,” he added as he turned away from the script.

“Donald Trump – Did you see what he recently said about… he wants to see the economy crash this year?

“A sitting president,” Biden added.

“As they say in my faith, bless me, Father…”

Biden apparently thinks Trump is the "sitting president" now…

House Republicans made significant progress on Sunday in their efforts to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas due to his handling of the ongoing border crisis.

Republicans just announced not one but two articles of impeachment. The first charges Mayorkas with displaying a “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law,” while the second states that he “knowingly made false statements, and knowingly obstructed lawful oversight of the Department of Homeland Security.”

“These articles lay out a clear, compelling, and irrefutable case for Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ impeachment,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.).

“The results of his lawless behavior have been disastrous for our country,” added Green.

DHS responded by claiming that Republicans “undermined efforts to achieve bipartisan solutions and ignored the facts, legal scholars and experts, and even the Constitution itself in their quest to baselessly impeach Secretary Mayorkas.”

NBC News reported:

“Green’s committee will consider the articles of impeachment on Tuesday. Approval would move the impeachment effort one step closer to a floor vote in the House. Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a letter to colleagues Friday that “a vote on the floor will be held as soon as possible thereafter,” but did not specify a date.

The Republican-led Homeland Security Committee has criticized Mayorkas’ implementation of a series of family reunification parole programs that allowed certain foreign nationals to wait in the U.S. for immigration visas, calling the moves unlawful. The first article of impeachment argues that Mayorkas instead should have prioritized resources for enforcing detention of people who illegally crossed the border.”

The Biden admin claimed that under the Immigration and Nationality Act, DHS has complied with “the mandatory detention requirements of the INA to the maximum extent possible” but that a “standard requiring 100% detention would mean that Congress should have impeached every DHS Secretary since the Department was founded.”

Mayorkas is accused in the second article of providing false information to Congress by repeatedly asserting under oath that the border was secure, while simultaneously obstructing congressional oversight.

“Congress has a duty to see that the executive branch implements and enforces the laws we have passed. Yet Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly refused to do so,” Green said on Sunday. “His lawless behavior was exactly what the Framers gave us the impeachment power to remedy. It is time we take this affront to a coequal branch of government, to the Constitution, and to the American people seriously.”

During a recent hearing to investigate the possibility of impeaching Mayorkas, a Democrat allegedly made a comment that has been widely criticized. The remark was directed towards Josephine Dunn, a grieving mother who tragically lost her daughter to a fentanyl overdose.

According to Fox News, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) accused Dunn of being “used” by Republicans during the hearing. This comment came after Dunn had been invited by Republicans to share her heartbreaking story and provide insight into the devastating effects of fentanyl.

It is important to approach such sensitive matters with empathy and respect, acknowledging the pain and loss experienced by individuals like Josephine Dunn.

The Democrat then claimed he wanted to “apologize in some ways” because she was “being used as a fact witness for an impeachment investigation.”

Then he said: “Obviously, given what your experience has been, you don’t have the background to understand what a high crime and misdemeanor is and how it relates to this.”

Dunn was furious, stating that Goldman is “unaware about what my understanding, about what my education, what my experience is in any of those areas when it comes to misdemeanors or high crimes.”

“I have my opinions, and for him to assume that I want to just put more money into a system that has had plenty of money placed into it and is still broken is incorrect. Please don’t think for me. I have a brain. I can think and speak for myself,” she said.
