The Gateway Pundit President Trump also told the assembled journalists that he heard there was a second person who died on January 6, 2021 at the pro-Trump protests on Capitol Hill.
"Actually, Mr. President, four people died that day, three were killed by police action, on January 6, 2021.
The 2020 Abraham Accords marked the first time Israel established peace with an Arab country since 1994
"Dozens of American college students visited Israel and the United Arab Emirates over the winter break, where they witnessed first-hand the successes of the historic Abraham Accords amid ongoing campus tensions at home as the war in Israel continues.
"Forty-three undergraduate students from across the country participated in
a 10-day trip to Israel and the UAE over the winter semester break through the Israel on Campus Coalition’s Geller International Fellowship, Fox News Digital learned. The students met with business leaders, academics and political leaders to discuss and experience Middle East culture, as well as see first-hand the importance of the Abraham Accords, which were brokered under President-elect Donald Trump’s first administration in 2020.
" 'Witnessing the successes of the Abraham Accords first hand with a group of college students who are passionate about peace and coexistence, in an era where dialogue on American college campuses like my own is sparse, has been a poignant and critical reminder of what the future of the Middle East can hold," Columbia University senior studying the Middle East, Eden Yadegar said in comment to Fox News Digital.
" 'Peace, security, and coexistence are not distant ideals, but a reality on the ground thanks to the United States, Israel, and the UAE. The future of the Middle East is here and it’s bright, and I am incredibly grateful to the Israel on Campus Coalition for providing me with the opportunity to engage in these critical conversations and experiences." . . .

"The fires in and around the LA area have resulted in at least 16 deaths (five died in the Palisades fire on the west side of Los Angeles), burned over 36,000 acres, and destroyed more than 12,000 homes and structures.
"Those numbers, tragically, are likely to go higher as firefighters battle to contain the blaze, weather forecasts predict more winds, and thousands of piles of rubble have yet to be searched for victims.
"Democrat politicians in California have done little to instill confidence that they are handling the situation, instead focusing all of their efforts on deflecting blame.
"One of those individuals is Bass. However, a new petition on Change.org initiated by LA residents is putting the focus squarely on her.
" 'We, the undersigned residents of Los Angeles and concerned citizens, urgently call for the immediate recall of Mayor Karen Bass due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city of Los Angeles," the petition reads" . . .
. . ."But Los Angeles is a Democrat-dominated city and they're known for routinely voting for the same people/political party and yet expecting improved results each time. Until that mindset changes, these types of dangerous situations - and the unacceptable responses from city/county/state "leaders" to them - will, unfortunately, continue to happen." . . .
. . ."Relatedly, a 2021 tweet from Bass dinging Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for his Cancun trip has resurfaced at a most inconvenient time for the embattled mayor:

"The Daily Mail has interviewed a fireman who claims two men were caught on video dumping gasoline and setting it alight immediately before the Palisades fire broke out.""A suspect seen starting fires with a blow torch in a Los Angeles neighborhood Thursday afternoon is not being charged with arson because a police investigation found “no probable cause.” The man is still being detained on a felony probation violation amid the ongoing investigation, Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Dominic Choi said in a press conference Friday.
"The arrest comes amid growing speculation that at least some of the LA fires were started by arsonists.
"The suspect was arrested Thursday night on suspicion of arson near the Kenneth fire, a wildfire that started at about 2:30, Thursday afternoon. The suspect, believed to be a homeless man, had reportedly been seen riding around on a bicycle in Woodland Hills Thursday afternoon, attempting to set numerous old Christmas trees and garbage cans on fire with a blow torch
"A resident saw the man wielding a yellow blow torch and called on his neighbors to help him apprehend the suspected arsonist. The neighbors banded together, using zip ties and rope to detain the man.
"With help from neighbors, they cornered him and made the citizens arrest.
" 'We really banded together as a group. A few gentlemen surrounded him and got him on his knees. They got some zip ties, a rope and we were able to do a citizens’ arrest,” a witness said.
"The suspect was described as agitated and like “he was on something.”
" 'He was very like, ‘I can’t stop, I can’t stop'” a resident told Fox11. “I’m not putting this down. I’m doing this.”
"The restrained man is believed to be in his mid-twenties to early thirties and allegedly speaks Spanish as his first language. Authorities have not revealed the suspect’s identity.
"The witness said the man was “very focused on moving forward with his blow torch.” . . .

"What if Biden pardons Jack Smith, Fauci, Cheney, and a few others? Oh wait, they could be subpoenaed, right?"; “Jack Smith’s investigation of Trump is over” "But Pam Bondi’s investigation of Jack Smith is just beginning." Comments to the post below.
"More from POLITICO:
Word of Smith’s departure came in a footnote to a court filing Justice Department officials submitted to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon Saturday afternoon, urging her not to extend a court order she issued last week temporarily blocking the release of the final report Smith submitted to department leaders on Tuesday.
Justice Department officials say Cannon’s order overstepped her authority and that she has no power to block Attorney General Merrick Garland from releasing Smith’s findings. Her ban on disclosure of Smith’s report currently runs through Monday.
Garland has said he plans to release publicly only the portion of Smith’s report that covers his investigation into Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election. The attorney general has said in court filings that he agreed with a recommendation from Smith to keep the other volume — which addresses the probe into Trump’s possession of a raft of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after he left office in 2021 — under wraps due to prosecutors’ ongoing efforts to revive a criminal case against two Trump allies and former co-defendants. Instead, Garland intends only to show that report to a handful of members of Congress.

. . ."Interestingly, despite his many austere measures, Czar Peter I is often referred to as Peter the Great. This is mainly because he managed to make Russia a formidable nation on the world scene, which was certainly his intention.

Like the debate, an interview reveals the best Biden "Since the palace coup, Joe Biden has been the lamest of lame ducks. His handlers no longer perceive the need to keep him out of the public eye and are letting him “just be Joe” to the general disgust and horror of the public. Some of them are even admitting—as are some in the Media—that just maybe Joe hasn’t been as sharp as they claimed, and maybe even not before he took office. Even Joe Scarborough, who angrily and obscenely told Americans they couldn’t handle the truth about “the best Biden ever” has backtracked and trekked to Mar-a-Lago to beg forgiveness." . . .
"You need to have basic law enforcement," he said. "And what the Democrats are going to do is they're going to hide behind this. They're going to say that this is all about compassion for families. It is not compassion to allow the drug cartels to traffic small children. It is not compassionate to allow the worst people in the world to send minor children, some of them victims of sex trafficking, into our country. That is the real humanitarian crisis at the border. You're not going to exacerbate it through law enforcement. You're going to fix it through law enforcement."

"Not very well, if Michael Cohen is any evidence.
"Cohen was on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Saturday. It was both funny and pathetic how desperate he was for a pardon from Joe Biden. Cohen claimed that Biden had an obligation to pardon him just like he pardoned his own son, Hunter Biden. ". . .
. . ."Then [Host Symone] Sanders said that she didn't think that was the best way to go about getting a pardon, comparing himself to Joe Biden's "last surviving son."
"I’m somebody’s son also, by the way," Cohen interjected.
"Agreed. You are somebody’s son," she said. "But I mean, to be very clear, you’re not the president’s son."

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
MARIA BARTIROMO: So do you think she broke the law? Remember, in the last few weeks there was some consideration about Biden issuing a pardon. Is a pardon warranted?
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: The pardon is being sought by people who know what she did because she is in legal jeopardy. At the very least, she should be investigated for this. But I also think it’s so interesting how much Democrats — the reason why she’s getting the award is she helped Democrats campaign. They thought she was helpful. You might remember, the Kamala Harris campaign had Liz Cheney out on the road. That was their closing message. If you vote for Kamala Harris, you’re going to have people like Liz Cheney handling our foreign policy. And polling showed that was actually a net negative with people on that campaign.
So Liz Cheney, as awful as her behavior has been in these last few years, she did give Republicans this gift of taking her very unpopular, politically toxic, neocon interventionism and moving it from the Republican Party now firmly into the Democrat Party.
So for that, Republicans can be thankful.

"The Los Angeles fires are raging on and now Brentwood is in danger.
"People's anger at California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass is growing. As we reported, Newsom was confronted by a desperate mom who wanted to know what he was going to do, telling him her daughter's school had just burnt down. Newsom's response? He was on the phone with Joe Biden. But then when she asked to join the call, Newsom claimed he wasn't able to reach Biden because of reception. He did end up having one of his aides give her a contact number for help. She was not convinced.
"Now that woman, Rachel Darvish, is speaking out more on the interaction. As Townhall reported, she spoke with Fox's Bill Melugin and nailed Newsom with what she had to say. You can see the fire on the screen in the background advancing on Brentwood. It's crazy they still can't get a handle on it after days. " . . .

Gavin Newsom must be held accountable

Gavin Newsom Slashed State Fire Budget by OVER $100 MILLION Just Months Before Deadly SoCal Wildfires "California Governor Gavin Newsom’s role in the horrific SoCal wildfires that have engulfed the state just got more damning." . . .
"The facts are in addition to gutting the state fire budget, California politicians led by Newsom refused to utilize common sense solutions such as clearing out the dead brush in the woods and filling the state’s depleted aquifers with water.
"Instead, they ignored the science and catered to radical environmentalists, allegedly because of a tiny fish called a smelt. They actually felt that giving the creature (and, by extension, California residents) less water would help." . . .
One bit of the evidence: that look that she had at President Jimmy Carter's funeral, when Barack Obama and Trump were talking and laughing together. It looked like it completely set her teeth on edge. And of course, it blew up the narrative about what a "threat to democracy" and a "Hitler" Trump was--if he has Obama laughing.
"Then President Donald Trump comes in, bringing in a sea-change to undo the damage that they wrought.
"But Kamala Harris is not handling the fact that she was crushed in the election very well.

There were a lot of other priceless moments between the others there as well, including Jill Biden giving Kamala a big cold shoulder. Kamala was no doubt feeling very out of it.
"She can't even post the reality, she's so bitter about losing. It shows how disturbed she still is about it all.

Oh, Kamala…you cropped out President Trump and his wife? That's ok.
