- House Republican Vern Buchanan to Retire — Latest Domino to Fall in Capitol Hill GOP Exodus
(Chris O’Meara/AP photo) Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) has announced he will retire from Congress at the end of his term, joining dozens of other Republican lawmakers heading for the exits. Buchanan, 74, who has served in the House since 2007, revealed on Tuesday that he would not seek reelection, saying, “It’s the right time to pass the torch.” “Serving the people of Southwest Florida has been the honor of my lifetime,” Buchanan said in a statement. “Every achievement worth doing began with listening to my constituents and fighting for their priorities. I came to Congress to solve problems, to fight for working families and to help ensure this country remains a place where opportunity is available to everyone willing to work for it. After 20 years of service, I believe it’s the right time to pass the torch and begin a new chapter in my life.” After 20… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.21 mins ago - Fox News’ Brit Hume Warns Trump He’s ‘Not Winning the PR War in Minnesota’
Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume warned President Donald Trump and his deputies that they’re “not winning the PR war in Minnesota” during a Monday evening appearance on Special Report. After noting that a government funding fight looms after 37-year-old Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent over the weekend, anchor Bret Baier asked Hume for a “30,000-foot political look at what happened over the weekend,” while noting that there is “deep frustration” within the Trump administration over the Department of Homeland Security’s reaction to Pretti’s death. “‘Some of those sources, these sources, have described DHS’s response to the shooting as a case study on how not to do crisis PR. Another added that DHS is wrong and we are losing this war. We are losing the base and the narrative,” said Baier, quoting Bill Melugin. “What do you make about all of… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.25 mins ago - Scott Galloway Predicts Dems Will Conduct Trials Against Trump ‘Equivalent to Nuremberg’ When Th...The Pivot podcast lambasted President Donald Trump following the shooting death of Alex Pretti last weekend, with co-host Scott Galloway arguing Democrats should put Trump administration officials on trial — just like the ones Nazi war criminals faced after World War II. “I think there should be something equivalent to the Nuremberg Trials once this is all over,” Galloway said. “And to make it clear: once we’re back in power — which we will be — this is going to happen. And the statute of limitations on murder is never.” He shared his suggestion on an “emergency” Pivot episode on Sunday, one day after Pretti was shot and killed after a fight with Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. Galloway wasn’t the only one who saw parallels between the USA and Nazi Germany following the shooting, either. His co-host Kara Swisher said Trump gets most of the heat for his administration’s… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.38 mins ago
- Trump Is Setting Himself Up for Failure by Hanging on to His Team of Freaks and Grifters
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Donald Trump: He said a lot of sh*t. The joke, as told by sometimes-Trumper Ben Shapiro, is that the epitaph on the president’s tombstone will one day remind us of as much. Of all the grandiose boasts, uncomfortable truths, and outright lies that Trump has proffered over the years, though, there’s one that stands above the rest for its incongruence with the world as we know it. On the campaign trail in 2016, candidate Trump often reassured voters that he intended to hire only “the best and most serious people” — “top-of-the-line professionals,” if you will. Even his most devoted supporters must look back on that particular vow with amusement. Trump’s first term saw him cycle through four full-time chiefs of staff (yes, you count, Mick Mulvaney), national security advisers, and press secretaries among numerous other major staff shakeups. Some of that turnover was doubtlessly a testament… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.56 mins ago - GOP Lawmaker Argues Trump Needs to “Reassess’ ICE Tactics in New York Times Op-Ed: ‘Americans ...
(AP Photo/Brittainy Newman, File) Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) called for President Donald Trump’s administration to “reassess” how ICE and other immigration agents perform their duties following the shooting death of Alex Pretti last weekend. Lawler shared where he thinks both Democrats and his own party have failed on immigration enforcement in an opinion piece for The New York Times on Tuesday. He said “collaboration” between both parties should start immediately following the Pretti shooting, beginning with a “transparent and accountable” investigation into that shooting and the death of Renee Good earlier this month. He dinged Democratic lawmakers who have called for abolishing ICE, saying they have “increased the danger” for agents by “delegitimizing” federal immigration enforcement. But he also said he believed ICE and other agencies need to reconsider their methods. “Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection are conducting forceful operations in American communities,” Lawler… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Superman Actor Dean Cain Jumps to Defense of Federal Agents After Alex Pretti ShootingDean Cain, the former Superman actor and staunch conservative who famously joined the ranks of ICE last year, has rushed to the defense of the federal agents who fatally shot VA nurse Alex Pretti on the streets of Minnesota over the weekend. Cain, speaking to TMZ’s Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere on Monday, said Pretti made “a mistake” when he approached law enforcement ahead of the shooting that has sent shockwaves across Minnesota and the nation. When Levin asked whether federal agents exhibited appropriate force when they tackled Pretti, Cain said: “Unless you’re there in the moment with the agents, it’s hard to understand, but if someone is committing a felony — which would be obstructing law enforcement, ICE, federal agents from doing their job, impeding, obstructing — that’s a felony, and perhaps they were just trying to take him down at that point in time.” Turning his attention… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
