The FBI has returned personal property belonging to President Donald Trump that was seized during its raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
&#8220;The FBI is giving the President his property back that was taken during the unlawful and illegal raids,&#8221; White House Communications Director Steven Cheung told The Daily Wire. &#8220;We are taking possession of the boxes today and loading them onto Air Force One.&#8221;
Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan personally witnessed the FBI loading many boxes onto Air Force One as she boarded the flight to travel with the president to Palm Beach.

The FBI raided Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on August 8, 2022, as part of a criminal investigation into his handling of classified material after leaving office.
“These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raids-trumps-home-at-mar-a-lago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement at the time. “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”
The investigation had focused on material that Trump brought with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House that contained classified material that officials had sought to retrieve from Trump since early 2021.
“They even broke into my safe!” Trump added at the time. “It is political targeting at the highest level!”
Out of the several criminal cases that Trump faced during his four years out of office, the documents case also was the most serious.
However, the case, led by special counsel Jack Smith, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> by District Court Judge Aileen Cannon in July of last year because “Smith’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution,” Cannon wrote in an order granting Trump’s motion to dismiss.
Cannon also found that Smith’s “use of a permanent indefinite appropriation” violated the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution, but she said the court “need not address the proper remedy for that funding violation given the dismissal on Appointments Clause grounds.”

President Donald Trump reportedly wants to tear out the grass from the White House Rose Garden and turn it into a giant outdoor patio similar to what he has at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to the story by saying that Trump was seeking to spice up the historical structure.
&#8220;The White House has not been given any tender, loving care in many decades, so President Trump is taking necessary steps in order to preserve and restore the greatness and glory of &#8216;the People’s House,'&#8221; he said.
During his first term in office, First Lady Melania Trump redesigned the Rose Garden. It&#8217;s not clear what she thinks about the new plans.
The Department of the Interior&#8217;s National Park Service maintains the White House grounds, including the Rose Garden.
The report said that Trump also wants to &#8220;hang a grand chandelier from the ceiling of the Oval Office&#8221; and is thinking about building a ballroom inside the White House.

President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> said Thursday that he would release a report on the recent mystery drone sightings reported in New Jersey and other states once he takes office. 
Trump made the comments as he met with Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago, prompting several to chime in with their own reports of drone sightings. Last month, the FBI, FAA, and Pentagon said they identified no threats among the 500 drone sightings they had investigated based on public tips.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration because I think it&#8217;s ridiculous that they&#8217;re not telling you about what&#8217;s going on with the drones,” Trump said, noting that drones had been spotted over his property in Bedminster, New Jersey. “It’s not only with me, [Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin] was telling me today that in Virginia they have drones all over the place too and nobody is reporting it.”

Trump said he would issue a report on the drones “shortly” after his inauguration on January 20. 
“They don’t want to talk about it and nobody knows why,” Trump said. “That could be us sending drones, I hope that’s the case, us doing it and doing research and maybe they don’t want to talk about it from that standpoint. I hope it&#8217;s not an enemy, but we’re going to find out on the 21st.”
Referencing how much of the U.S. military and intelligence infrastructure is in Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin said that drones had been flying over secure air space for the last two years. 
“For two years running we have had drone incursion over secure air space and we still don’t know why. And I think that’s absolutely unacceptable,” Youngkin said. “And I think President Trump and the new leadership coming in will work diligently to understand who’s behind this and what we do in order to stop the digital surveillance of all our secure infrastructure.”
Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry said that his state had recently seen drones flying over its nuclear reactors but that the FAA had done nothing after they brought it to their attention.

Wyoming Republican Governor Mark Gordon added that he had also struggled to deal with drones being flown over critical infrastructure. 
“We have drones in Wyoming flying over our infrastructure as well,” he said. “And it&#8217;s incredibly frustrating that we not only have no way of knowing what it is, but nobody knows how to deal with them.”

Donald Trump just gave one of the greatest press conferences in American history. He talked more in this press conference than Joe Biden has for four years. He spoke quite coherently and cogently.
The press conference was a doozy. It was wonderful in so many ways.
Trump is going to instruct the federal government to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and I am here for it. It is fantastic. If you look at a map, about 65% of the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico is in America.
Who&#8217;s going to stop us from renaming it? Mexico? Sure. They can’t even balance the budget or stop the cartels from running their country.
But that&#8217;s not the only item on the Manifest Destiny Agenda for the Trump administration that I love.
I love that Trump has been talking about making Canada the 51st state. I know that Justin Trudeau is out there tweeting how it&#8217;ll never be the 51st state, but he has no say in the matter because when we invade, he will be shipped to work the Panama Canal.
More America is better. Greenland, a vital place territorially, is on Trump’s list. Why not? The United States spends money on the military defense of Greenland, and we have military bases in Greenland. We use Greenland’s northern border in order to protect Arctic shipping. Greenland is very important because as ice melts in the Arctic Circle, there will be brand-new North Atlantic shipping lanes which have drawn interest from Russia and China. Either Russia and China are going to have an impact there, or we are. Arctic shipping has increased, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/01/08/why-does-trump-want-to-buy-greenland-heres-what-to-know-as-don-jr-arrives-on-island/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a>, 37% over the past decade.
In addition, Greenland is part of the strategically important Greenland-Iceland-UK gap, a choke point that Russian ships actually have to transit to travel from the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic.
And Greenland has a plethora of untapped mineral resources. Those include copper, iron ore, diamonds, and oil. We should purchase Greenland.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2112-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
The people of Greenland have been talking about independence for a very long time. If that were to happen, they would realign with the United States in a heartbeat. First of all, it&#8217;s better to live in the United States than it is to live in a principality of Denmark. Second, as far as security concerns to defend those Arctic Straits against Russia and China, do you think Denmark is going to go up against the Russians or the Chinese?
If that is a matter of national security for the United States, why not sell Greenland to the United States if you are Denmark?
Back in 1775, Denmark and Norway declared Greenland a colony. Greenland was then formally transferred from Norway to Denmark by a treaty in 1814. Denmark started trying to colonize the island in the 1880s.
But before the 1880s, a huge chunk was actually discovered by Americans. Charles Francis Hall saw northwest Greenland during the Polaris expedition, which was from 1871 to 1873. And another explorer named Robert Peary actually claimed much of the North.
The only reason that Denmark has any claim whatsoever to Greenland, as far as the United States is concerned, is because when the United States was interested in purchasing the Danish West Indies during World War I, Denmark required the U.S. to recognize its claim over the whole island of Greenland.
At the time, Peary, the explorer who discovered and claimed much of it, opposed the U.S. giving up the claim because the Monroe Doctrine said there should be no European interference in the Western Hemisphere.
He correctly suggested that we should have purchased the island outright. And then, as it turned out, we had to defend it anyway because in the early 1940s, Denmark had been conquered by the Nazis. Once that happened, the United States basically had to defend Greenland as its own principality because it was the only known significant source of a material called rhyolite. Because Germany was attempting to use the North Atlantic as a base during World War II, the United States actually did apply the Monroe Doctrine on European colonies in the North Atlantic Ocean.
By 1946, the joint chiefs of staff had listed Greenland and Iceland as essential international locations for American bases. In fact, when NATO was in its heyday, Greenland was seen as more important to both American and Canadian defense than some of the Western European countries. That was because the very, very north of Canada, the North American continent, gets pretty close to territory that is controlled by Russia.
In 1951, Greenland and the United States signed a treaty that gave the United States exclusive jurisdiction over defense areas within Greenland. So there is a significantly solid case that the United States actually ought to buy Greenland.
But there’s more. 
President Trump has made clear that he does not want the Panama Canal to be controlled by the Chinese. He&#8217;s half joking when he&#8217;s making fun of Justin Trudeau and talking about making Canada the 51st state, but the Greenland issue is actually a fairly serious proposal. And when it comes to the Panama Canal, there really is a serious problem. The Panama Canal was built with American labor and money. It was turned over idiotically by one of our worst presidents, Jimmy Carter.
The Panama Canal has run significantly worse since we turned it over to Panama. The Panamanians have turned over both ends of the canals to Chinese companies who could easily shut off the entrances and exits to the Panama Canal. 40% of all American container traffic goes through the Panama Canal. That&#8217;s a lot of American commerce moving through the Panama Canal.
If the United States were ever to get into a conflict with China, most shipping would cease because China would try to take control of the Taiwan Strait and the Strait of Malacca, which is basically the tip of the South China Sea. That would shut off another shipping route. If they could shut off shipping in the Western Hemisphere, they could absolutely cripple the American economy.

On foreign policy, Trump was asked about what he&#8217;s going to do if the hostages are not freed by Hamas by the time he takes office in just 13 days. 
President Trump <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/trump-vows-all-hell-will-break-out-if-hamas-hostages-not-released-before-he-takes-office-do-i-have-to-define-it-for-you/">answered</a>:
<blockquote>Do I have to define it for you? Look, all hell will break out. … If they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East. It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out. I don’t have to say anymore, but that’s what it is. And they should have given them back a long time ago, they should have never taken them, there should have never been the attack on Oct. 7. People forget that, but there was, and many people [were] killed.</blockquote>
This is strength. Joe Biden never had any moral clarity about this because he&#8217;s a fool. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has moral clarity about this.
And this is the correct approach. If Hamas is not afraid, they&#8217;re not releasing the hostages. It is that simple. There&#8217;s nothing else that is going to make them release the hostages other than dire threats and action and allowing Israel to do exactly what it needs to do in the Gaza Strip.
And then Trump was asked about the possibility of a preemptive strike on the Iranian nuclear facilities if they were to ramp up their nuclear production. And Trump gave the correct answer on this one too.
Again, Trump gave more answers in this one press conference than Biden has given in four years. He made more intelligent statements in this press conference than Biden has ever said in his entire career. That’s because Biden was, is, and will be a dullard. 
President Trump explained that if Iran were to attempt a nuclear weapon, he wouldn’t tell the reporter what he would do because he&#8217;s the president, and he&#8217;s not going to tell some dumb reporter what he&#8217;s going to do because it&#8217;s a stupid question. That is correct.
Speaking of other good things, President Trump also had some words about Biden&#8217;s attempts to shut down drilling for oil off pretty much all of America&#8217;s Eastern seaboard on his way out. Trump said, we like to produce energy in America. American energy independence has made us less dependent on some of the worst places in the world. That is a good thing. And Biden is throttling America&#8217;s energy independence.
A great press conference.
He’s better than he ever was.

Not long after Justin Trudeau became the prime minister of Canada in 2015, he made a big announcement. Without any prompting, Trudeau said something no other Canadian prime minister has ever said. He declared that Canada, as a nation, doesn&#8217;t really exist. He came out and casually admitted something Americans have known for a long time, which is that Canada is a fake country.
Speaking to a reporter with The New York Times, Trudeau <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/13/magazine/trudeaus-canada-again.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> that, &#8220;There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada. There are shared values &#8230; Those qualities are what make us the first postnational state.&#8221;
Yes, Canada is a &#8220;postnational state&#8221; with no &#8220;core identity.&#8221; That’s what he said. No wonder this guy is being forced to resign.
Of course, no one paid any attention to Trudeau&#8217;s comments at the time, because no one ever pays any attention to what&#8217;s happening in Canada. Nobody stepped up to offer Canadians a &#8220;nation&#8221; that they can call home. No one suggested that Canadians could indeed have a &#8220;core identity,&#8221; just like the rest of the world. Instead, we allowed our neighbors to the north to wallow in their own self-pity and apparent non-existence. Their identity crisis festered. As a result, after a decade of self-loathing, Canada is now predictably falling apart. Justin Trudeau has resigned, parliament has been suspended, and their whole government has basically collapsed. Canada is sputtering along, barely staying alive in the cold, like a stray cat that everyone ignores.
But there is some good news for Canadians. Finally, at long last, against all odds, they may soon have a &#8220;nation&#8221; to call their own. They may find the &#8220;core identity&#8221; that they&#8217;ve been seeking for so long.
Admittedly, this development will come with some trade-offs. Canadians will probably lose the right to vote. And they may have to start working jobs they don&#8217;t like — and which may not pay them anything. And we still won&#8217;t take them seriously. But none of that&#8217;s important right now, because the key point is that Canadians could soon become Americans — or at least, they could soon become vassals of Americans.
Here&#8217;s Donald Trump&#8217;s olive branch to the oppressed people of Canada from yesterday&#8217;s press conference, in case you missed it:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="001 Taking Canada" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JhXTMomnFgA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Trump went on to explain all of the obvious arguments in support of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/canadian-politicians-are-not-happy-with-trump-claiming-they-will-be-51st-state" target="_blank" rel="noopener">annexing Canada</a>. We provide them military support — worth hundreds of millions of dollars — and they <a href="https://www.farmprogress.com/management/does-canada-really-charge-a-270-tariff-on-milk-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reward</a> us with an import tax on dairy products that goes as high as 270%. They&#8217;re supposedly good at hockey, but they haven&#8217;t won a Stanley Cup since 1993. They also don&#8217;t believe in free speech, to the point that they freeze the bank accounts of political dissidents. If we were talking about a Middle Eastern country, we would have already invaded by now — or at least launched some rockets.
But as you heard, Trump doesn&#8217;t plan on doing any of that with Canada. The plan right now is a humanitarian, economic takeover. That&#8217;s why, after the press conference, Trump posted these upbeat images of a unified North America, with Canada and the United States combined:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As you can see, once you get rid of the imaginary line between Canada and the United States, the whole continent looks a lot cleaner. It&#8217;s obviously the way it&#8217;s supposed to be.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/mws-ep-1510-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
But pretty much every Canadian politician disagrees, apparently. And in voicing their outrage, they&#8217;ve only made the whole situation even more entertaining (and more pathetic for Canada). Here for example is someone using the name &#8220;Jagmeet Singh.&#8221; At one point he was supposed to be the Canadian incarnation of Barack Obama. And last night he uploaded this video threatening the United States. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="003 Jagmeet Singh" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y-ueQ-WVFNU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This was the sentiment all over Canada. Even the conservatives were talking like this, although they were a bit less aggressive. It&#8217;s all extremely difficult to understand, frankly. They’re just assuming that being conquered is automatically a bad thing. I mean, they’re complaining about our plans to conquer them and yet they haven’t even seen the labor camps we’ve built for them. They&#8217;re really spacious — very comfortable by labor camp standards. You’ll even get one whole meal a day, except on weekdays obviously. And yet they still whine. It&#8217;s yet more evidence that we&#8217;re dealing with ungrateful brats.
Just to underscore the power dynamic here — Canada&#8217;s dollar is worth about seventy cents right now. The government is issuing emergency payments to around a third of the population so that people can afford groceries. But Jagmeet Singh wants us to believe that Canada has economic leverage over the United States. They&#8217;re going to raise the import tax on milk another 100%, I guess. They&#8217;ll shut off our supply of maple syrup. They&#8217;ll play hockey even worse.
Not to be outdone, an even less popular politician in Canada — Elizabeth May of &#8220;The Green Party&#8221; — proposed a counter-offer to Donald Trump. She suggested that Canada might take California, Washington and Oregon from the United States, which apparently is supposed to be some kind of threat. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Canada Taking States" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y108g3oHr8k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So the pitch to people in California, Washington and Oregon is that, if they join Canada, they can get some Canadian healthcare. Now, I&#8217;ve ragged on those states quite a bit over the years. They&#8217;re all terribly run. They&#8217;re all over-taxed. They&#8217;re all examples of the worst excesses of Left-wing ideology. But even with all of that in mind, I&#8217;ve never wished Canadian healthcare on anyone living in those states. I don&#8217;t want to see them put to death whenever they get a headache, or feel a little depressed. But apparently Elizabeth May sees things differently.
And she seems serious enough about the offer. And, admittedly, a lot of people in those states may be on board with the idea. So let&#8217;s compromise. How about this: We’ll send you the people in all of those states, but we’re keeping the land. That seems like the definition of a win-win.
If you know anything about Elizabeth May, it&#8217;s an offer she&#8217;ll probably accept, because she&#8217;s a raging alcoholic who&#8217;s also completely incompetent. She&#8217;s most famous in Canada for getting so <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOE59SinhE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">intoxicated</a> during a speech a few years ago that her own staff had to lead her off-stage, as she started playing music from her phone and praising war criminals. Here&#8217;s the end of that speech:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 May Press Gallery" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BDS-tbuqkhw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The person she mentioned at the end of her speech is a terrorist who pleaded guilty to murdering a U.S. soldier. And that woman went on to lead the Canadian Green Party. So that&#8217;s the caliber of Canadian politicians that we&#8217;re dealing with here. All we have to do is get them drunk — or, more accurately, wait a few minutes until they get drunk — and then we can do whatever we want in these negotiations.
For what it&#8217;s worth, Elizabeth May wasn&#8217;t the only Canadian politician to come up with a counter-offer. Ontario&#8217;s governor, Doug Ford, is also in the &#8220;bargaining&#8221; stage of grief. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
Again, there seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding here. No one is offering to &#8220;buy&#8221; Canada. Trump is proposing that we take it. But Doug Ford seems to think that we&#8217;re haggling over prices here. And he also seems to think Canada can afford to buy a U.S. state, which is more than a little suspect.
At the same time, as amusing as the idea of taking over Canada is, the plan that Trump is floating for other parts of the North American continent is, I think, a bit more serious with some very real economic and strategic implications. The main benefit of conquering Canada is that it would be really funny. It would be the first conquest in history launched primarily as a joke. But the idea that we should buy Greenland and take over the Panama Canal — while also being kind of funny — is still very serious. At one point during the press conference, Trump was asked to rule out the use of military force to take Greenland and the Panama Canal, and he refused. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

This answer caused a lot of wailing on the internet, but it&#8217;s the right answer. There&#8217;s no reason for us to rule out anything at this point, especially when our national security is implicated. It also puts you in a much stronger bargaining position if you don’t show your cards ahead of time. If we take over Greenland, we&#8217;d gain an ideal position for shooting down missiles from countries like China, Russia and North Korea. We&#8217;d also gain access to rare earth minerals that are useful for various military technologies, batteries and so on. Greenland is a massive piece of land on our continent that has basically nobody living on it. The actual population is about 56,000, which, to put that into perspective, is significantly less than the average capacity of a professional football stadium. Why shouldn’t we at least discuss the possibility of acquiring it?

And of course, the Panama Canal would give us control over one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. We&#8217;d have more opportunities to limit China&#8217;s advancement in our hemisphere, as well.Whatever you think about these ideas, they make a lot more sense than fighting proxy wars in Eastern Europe or the Middle East. The Panama Canal and Greenland are on our continent. They&#8217;re in our backyard. What happens there affects us a lot more than a border dispute 6,000 miles away.
And in case you needed another reason to support Trump&#8217;s proposals, take a look at CNN&#8217;s reaction to the press conference. Their jaws were on the floor. Watch:

As a general rule, the more enraged CNN becomes, the more you know you&#8217;re on the right track. And by that metric, we should take Greenland, the Panama Canal, and all of Canada immediately.
It&#8217;s not just about the well-documented economic and strategic benefits. There&#8217;s another important reason to follow through with this — which is that it signals our direction as a nation. A country that grows and acquires new land and pursues new opportunities is a living, thriving country. It&#8217;s a sign of a nation on the rise, rather than a nation on the decline.
Americans once pursued their manifest destiny into the wilderness and all the way to the pacific ocean. That’s how our country took its current shape. But most of that happened in the 19th century. In the 20th century, the drive to reach out into the unknown took the form of the space program and brought us all the way to the moon. Since then however, we’ve been in stasis, jogging in place. Liberal imperialism took over, as we tried to export liberal values to far flung corners of the world, attempting to impose them on people and cultures that had no interest in them, and never will. That was and still is a disaster. That’s not the kind of expansion we should pursue. But claiming new land on our own continent, in our own part of the world, for our own interests, to help our own country and our own people — that is an idea worth considering.
That&#8217;s also why Trump proposed changing the name of the &#8220;Gulf of Mexico&#8221; to the &#8220;Gulf of America&#8221; yesterday. It&#8217;s a proposal that would be unthinkable in Canada, where they&#8217;re busy apologizing for their own existence. But in a country that&#8217;s proud of its history, and that has a plan for the future, it makes sense. In fact, as I suggested yesterday, we should think about renaming the Moon to “the Moon of America.” It is ours, after all. We put our flag on it.
So where do we go from here? Will Greenland and the Panama Canal soon belong to us? Will Canada do the right thing, and submit to rule by the United States? Will they affirm their own potential for greatness, by being our serfs? Probably not. But you never know.
The feeling we have now is the feeling that a great country should have. A feeling that says: anything is possible.

Is It Finally Time For Our Glorious Conquest Of Canada To Begin?

The Times noted that the 40-year-old tech entrepreneur has had a strained relationship with Trump ever since Trump entered politics. He did call Trump after he was shot over the summer and referred to Trump&#8217;s reaction immediately after being shot as &#8220;bada**.&#8221;

Conservatives have repeatedly accused the company of censoring their voices on the company&#8217;s platforms, especially Facebook.
Trump <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/28/trump-zuckerberg-election-book-00176639">wrote</a> in his book &#8220;Save America&#8221; that Zuckerberg had plotted against him in the 2020 presidential election and had threatened that he could be criminally charged if he did so in 2024.
“He told me there was nobody like Trump on Facebook. But at the same time, and for whatever reason, steered it against me,” Trump wrote. “We are watching him closely, and if he does anything illegal this time he will spend the rest of his life in prison — as will others who cheat in the 2024 Presidential Election.”
Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/zuckerberg-biden-harris-repeatedly-pressured-us-to-censor-free-speech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> over summer that his company was pressured by the Biden administration to censor content during 2020.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” he said in an August letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH). “Ultimately, it was our decision whether or not to take content down, and we own our decisions, including COVID-19-related changes we made to our enforcement in the wake of this pressure.”
He said that he made choices under pressure from the Biden administration that in hindsight he would not make again.
He said that the company made a mistake by temporarily demoting a New York Post story during the 2020 election about Hunter Biden’s laptop after officials falsely suggested that it was part of a “Russian disinformation operation.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” he said. “We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again – for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S while waiting for fact-checkers.”
Zuckerberg said that he also wanted to be politically neutral moving forward and that he made a mistake by hiring employees who tried to steer him toward the political Left.
“The political environment, I think I didn’t have much sophistication around, and I think I just fundamentally misdiagnosed the problem,” he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/zuckerberg-admits-he-messed-up-by-getting-too-involved-in-politics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in an interview with The New York Times the following month.
“I think it’s going to take another 10 years or so for us to fully work through that cycle before our brand is back to the place that it could have been, if I hadn’t messed up in the first place,” he added.

Jill Biden

Former President Donald Trump blasted Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday and what he called her &#8220;campaign of absolute hate.&#8221;
During an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump accused Harris of &#8220;inexcusable&#8221; slander and lies as she and other Democrats ramp up their attacks on the former president, which have included calling him a &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/townhallcom/status/1849256655281668120" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fascist</a>.&#8221; Trump also argued that Harris is &#8220;unfit to be president,&#8221; adding that &#8220;her message has been a message of hate and division, and my message is about saving our economy, securing our border, and bringing together the greatest and broadest coalition in American history.&#8221;
&#8220;She’s running on a campaign of immoralization, and really a campaign of destruction. But really, perhaps more than anything else, it’s a campaign of hate. A campaign of absolute hate,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4959176-trump-rally-msg-kill-tony-hinchcliffe-harris-speech-ellipse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;I said yesterday that she’s a vessel. She is a vessel. It’s a very big powerful party with smart people … but they’re vicious, and they’re perhaps even trying to destroy our country.&#8221;
&#8220;After two assassination attempts in just over three months, her lies and her slanders are very shameful and really inexcusable,&#8221; he added.

The vice president said the rally showed that Trump &#8220;is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself, and on dividing our country.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s a big difference between he and I. If he were elected, on day one, he&#8217;s going to be sitting in the Oval Office working on his enemies list. On day one, if I am elected president of the United States, which I fully intend to be, I will be working on behalf of the American people on my to-do list,&#8221; Harris added.

'A Warning To All Americans': Melania Flames FBI Over Mar-A-Lago Raid

Former President Donald Trump has informed the federal government that he intends to sue over the FBI&#8217;s raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, alleging it was conducted to interfere with his 2024 election bid, Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6360304946112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Monday.
Trump&#8217;s legal team is threatening to sue for $100 million, alleging the federal government is guilty of invasion of privacy, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process. The unprecedented raid of Trump&#8217;s estate took place just a year and a half after he left the White House and resulted in Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing special counsel Jack Smith to go after Trump over his handling of classified documents.
Judge Aileen Cannon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-dismisses-trump-classified-documents-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> the classified documents case against Trump last month after ruling that Smith&#8217;s appointment was unconstitutional. Trump&#8217;s lawyers argue that the federal government&#8217;s goal for the Mar-a-Lago raid was to stop Trump from running for the White House in 2024.
&#8220;That&#8217;s what President Trump believes the entire special counsel investigation was about, interfering with his ability to get elected,&#8221; said Daniel Epstein, counsel to the former president.
Trump&#8217;s legal team has also argued that the FBI ignored established protocol by conducting the raid without notifying Trump or his lawyers. Earlier this year, the FBI released a statement saying that the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-signed-off-on-use-of-deadly-force-for-raid-on-trump-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">authorized</a> the &#8220;use of deadly force&#8221; during the raid on Trump&#8217;s estate, arguing that the authorization was in line with standard operating procedures. Agents were reportedly instructed to dress in a way that would hide &#8220;law enforcement equipment.&#8221;
<a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1722714742764000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1XzmEsRwzti1RFNuISwYgd">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a>
“The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force. No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter,&#8221; the bureau said in a statement responding to reports about the raid instructions.
Trump&#8217;s lawyers are pointing to internal FBI emails that allegedly show agents questioning whether they obtained the required probable cause to proceed with the raid on Mar-a-Lago, Fox Business reported. Less than a year after the raid, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-top-fbi-official-disagreed-with-dojs-approach-to-trump-raid-jim-jordan-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that Steven D’Antuono, the former assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, &#8220;expressed strong concerns with the Department’s pursuit of the raid and noted several unusual features in the Department’s handling of the case.&#8221;
The lawyers argue that Garland should have known that as a former president, Trump would have immunity from prosecution over his handling of the classified documents in question and that Smith could not be appointed special counsel. The federal government now has six months to decide if it will settle Trump&#8217;s claim for $100 million. If the government does not settle with Trump, the former president can move forward with a lawsuit.

Former President Donald Trump will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday, following his rescheduled visit to the White House.
Trump originally shared on TRUTH social that he would meet with Netanyahu Wednesday, following the prime minister&#8217;s address to a joint session of Congress. The rescheduled visit will occur a day after Netanyahu&#8217;s planned White House meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris.
In his initial announcement, Trump touted his administration’s work with Israel, including the signing of the Abraham Accords, bilateral agreements between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors.
“Just as I have said in discussions with President Zelensky and other World Leaders in recent weeks, my PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH Agenda will demonstrate to the World that these horrible, deadly Wars, and violent Conflicts must end,” Trump posted. “Millions are dying, and Kamala Harris is in no way capable of stopping it.”
The White House canceled Netanyahu’s planned Tuesday visit with President Joe Biden after the latter was diagnosed with COVID. Biden is now scheduled to meet with Netanyahu on Thursday.
Netanyahu will address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, the main purpose of his visit. Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, will not attend Netanyahu’s speech, opting instead to attend a convention for the historically-black Zeta Phi Beta sorority, the <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-meeting-with-biden-likely-pushed-off-as-us-president-fights-off-covid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Times of Israel</a> reported. Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Ben Cardin will preside over the joint session instead.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said it was “inexcusable” that Harris is not presiding over the speech, accusing her of “abandoning her seat.”
“She needs to be held accountable for that&#8230; The idea [that Democrats] are making political calculations when our ally is such dire straits, fighting for its very survival and fighting back against the horrific attack in October is unconscionable to us.”

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Johnson threatened to arrest any disruptors during Netanyahu’s speech in a letter to his colleagues on Tuesday.
“All members should kindly inform their guests that any disruption of the proceedings of the House is a violation of the rules and may subject the offenders to prosecution,” Johnson wrote. “If any disturbance does occur, the sergeant-at-arms and Capitol Police will remove the offending visitor(s) from the gallery and subject them to arrest.”
He added that there will be an increased police presence around the Capitol and in the House Chamber.
According to the Harris’s office, during her meeting with Netanyahu the vice president will convey “her view that it is time for the war to end in a way in which Israel is secure, all hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can enjoy their right to dignity, freedom, and self-determination.”

A new Netflix World War II documentary series draws a straight line from Adolf Hitler to former President Donald Trump when it refers to an idyllic mountain retreat frequented by the Nazi dictator as &#8220;Hitler&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago.
The six-episode docuseries, titled &#8220;Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial,&#8221; purports to dig into &#8220;Hitler and the Nazis&#8217; rise, rule and reckoning from pre-WWII to the Holocaust to the Nuremberg trials.&#8221;
Comedian, filmmaker, and documentarian Eric Abbenante posted a clip from the series, explaining, &#8220;Netflix&#8217;s WW2 documentary &#8216;Evil on Trial&#8217; describes Hitler&#8217;s holiday residence (The Berghof) as &#8216;Hitler&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago&#8217;: &#8216;It&#8217;s sort of like Hitler&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago, if you will. Gave Hitler the sense that he was on top of the world without having to deal with the messiness of everyday politics.&#8217; Yes because Trump&#8217;s government used the Nazi term &#8216;The Big Lie&#8217;, created &#8216;domestic terrorism&#8217; organizations that encouraged citizens to snitch on each other, and jailed political dissidents, just like Hitler.

&#8220;It&#8217;s sort of like Hitler&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago, if you will,&#8221; Anne Berg said in the clip. &#8220;A kind of retreat in the Bavarian Alps that has a closeness to nature, the spectacular mountain panorama that gave Hitler the sense that he was on top of the world without having to deal with the messiness of everyday politics.&#8221;

&#8220;There is a constant refrain of &#8216;Make Germany Great Again&#8217; trying to draw parallels to the MAGA movement,&#8221; he said.
