(CBrief) – Former President Donald Trump has not announced his intention to campaign for president again but he did make some news about a possible vice presidential pick.

He spoke to NDTV host Sreenivasan Jain this week about politics and the future of the nation when he was asked about an interesting choice for vice president.

“What about the media buzz that Ivanka might be your running mate? Is there any substance to that?” the host said.

“That, Ivanka?” the former president said. “That my daughter? I never thought of that one. I’ve never even heard of that one.”

“It’s in the media,” the host said.

“Oh that’s an interesting idea,” the former president said. “That one I have not heard of, but she’s a very capable person — that I can tell you. But, uh, no, I have not heard that.”

“Would you consider it?” the host said.

“No, I wouldn’t. Not my daughter,” the former president said as he laughed.

Former President Donald Trump and his wife, former first lady Melania Trump have responded to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

“Melania and I are deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Together with our family and fellow Americans, we send our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this time of great sorrow and grief,” the former president said in an email to supporters.

“Queen Elizabeth’s historic and remarkable reign left a tremendous legacy of peace and prosperity for Great Britain. Her leadership and enduring diplomacy secured and advanced alliances with the United States and countries around the world. However, she will always be remembered for her faithfulness to her country and her unwavering devotion to her fellow countrymen and women.

“Melania and I will always cherish our time together with the Queen, and never forget Her Majesty’s generous friendship, great wisdom, and wonderful sense of humor. What a grand and beautiful lady she was—there was nobody like her!” he said.

“Our thoughts and prayers will remain with the great people of the United Kingdom as you honor her most meaningful life and exceptional service to the people.

“May God bless the Queen, may she reign forever in our hearts, and may God hold her and Prince Philip in abiding care,” he said.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden also issued a press release in response to the Queen’s death.

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was more than a monarch. She defined an era.

“In a world of constant change, she was a steadying presence and a source of comfort and pride for generations of Britons, including many who have never known their country without her. An enduring admiration for Queen Elizabeth II united people across the Commonwealth. The seven decades of her history-making reign bore witness to an age of unprecedented human advancement and the forward march of human dignity,” the president said.

“She was the first British monarch to whom people all around the world could feel a personal and immediate connection—whether they heard her on the radio as a young princess speaking to the children of the United Kingdom, or gathered around their televisions for her coronation, or watched her final Christmas speech or her Platinum Jubilee on their phones. And she, in turn, dedicated her whole life to their service,” he said.

“Supported by her beloved Prince Philip for 73 years, Queen Elizabeth II led always with grace, an unwavering commitment to duty, and the incomparable power of her example. She endured the dangers and deprivations of a world war alongside the British people and rallied them during the devastation of a global pandemic to look to better days ahead. Through her dedication to her patronages and charities, she supported causes that uplifted people and expanded opportunity. By showing friendship and respect to newly independent nations around the world, she elevated the cause of liberty and fostered enduring bonds that helped strengthen the Commonwealth, which she loved so deeply, into a community to promote peace and shared values,” the president said.

“Queen Elizabeth II was a stateswoman of unmatched dignity and constancy who deepened the bedrock Alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. She helped make our relationship special.

“We first met the Queen in 1982, traveling to the UK as part of a Senate delegation. And we were honored that she extended her hospitality to us in June 2021 during our first overseas trip as President and First Lady, where she charmed us with her wit, moved us with her kindness, and generously shared with us her wisdom. All told, she met 14 American presidents. She helped Americans commemorate both the anniversary of the founding of Jamestown and the bicentennial of our independence. And she stood in solidarity with the United States during our darkest days after 9/11, when she poignantly reminded us that ‘Grief is the price we pay for love,” he said.

“In the years ahead, we look forward to continuing a close friendship with The King and The Queen Consort. Today, the thoughts and prayers of people all across the United States are with the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in their grief. We send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, who are not only mourning their Queen, but their dear mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her legacy will loom large in the pages of British history, and in the story of our world,” he said.

Daily wire reports, There was great hilarity on social media after White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made another malapropism, this time confusing the Nord Stream Pipeline in Europe with Nordstrom department store.

“She is a disgrace. Let’s go Brandon”

(Slay News) – Fox News star Tucker Carlson has shut down “woke” critics of Queen Elizabeth II by highlighting historical facts about the British monarchy.

Carlson responded on his show last night after leftists took to social media to celebrate the Queen’s passing.

Many of the criticisms of the Queen were based on false claims about the British royal “colonizing” foreign nations.

“The British Empire was not perfect, but it was far more humane than any other ever,” Carlson said.

“It was an impressive place run by impressive people.

“We will see many empires going forward, but we will never see one so benign.

“Slander the ruler, discredit the entire period she lived in.

“And that’s exactly why they are attacking Queen Elizabeth tonight.

“Not because she was a bad person, she was not a bad person, but because she lived during a better time.

“The empire evaporated and along with it, Britain’s self-confidence and ultimately its self-respect.

“It’s hard to believe now, but Britain was not always a regional banking center/refugee camp.

“It was a real place with a history and a language and a culture and a genuinely remarkable people.

“The British gave the world the Magna Carta, and habeas corpus and free speech.

“They helped end the transatlantic slave trade as well as the ritual murder of widows in India.

“The British Empire spread Protestant Christianity to the entire world.

“It published some of the greatest literature ever written and produced the finest manufactured goods ever made anywhere at any time, including now.

“It was an impressive place run by impressive people.

“We will see many empires going forward, but we will never see one so benign.

“In an ideal world, there would not be empires, no empires, only sovereign nations.

“But we don’t have that world, I never have had that world.

“Going back to the Assyrians, 1400 years before Christ.

“In the real world, the one we live in, strong countries dominate weak countries, and that trend shows no sign of changing.

“The very least you can say about the English is they took their colonial responsibility seriously.

“They did not just take things,” Carlson asserted.

“When the U.S. government withdrew from Afghanistan after 20 years we left behind airstrips, shipping containers, and guns.

“When the British pulled out of India, they left behind an entire civilization: a language, a legal system, schools, churches, public buildings.

“All still in use today.

“A country in the North Atlantic the size of Alabama that somehow took over the world and ruled it with decency unmatched by any empire in human history.

“The British Empire was evil, they wrote, apparently totally unaware of what came after.

“And speaking of that, what came after the British Empire? How, for example, did Africa fare after the British left?

“Let’s see: Uganda got Idi Amin, who was a cannibal. Rhodesia became Zimbabwe and then became the poorest country on the planet under the racist lunatic Robert Mugabe.

“As of tonight South Africa is being into the ground by an incompetent kleptocrat named Cyril Ramaphosa,” he said.

WATCH:

As Slay News reported earlier, “woke” Carnegie Mellon University Professor Uju Anya provoked a widespread backlash with her comments about the Queen.

In a now-deleted post on Twitter shortly before the Queen passed, Anya wished her death would “be excruciating.”

“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying,” she tweeted.

“May her pain be excruciating.”

After facing backlash, she doubled down on her comments, saying:

“If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star.”

The post even caught the attention of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who fired back saying: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better?”

“I don’t think so. Wow.”

“Another “conspiracy theory” becomes reality. I was warning people of this a year ago”

(CBrief) – A federal judge has ruled against the Biden administration in a case brought by a pair of Republican state attorneys general.

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of the Western District of Louisiana ruled Tuesday that the administration has 21 days to hand over all pertinent emails sent by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Dr. Anthony Fauci to social media behemoths in regards to alleged misinformation and censorship of contested posted on their platforms.

The ruling from Doughty, a Trump appointee, comes as part of a lawsuit filed in May by Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, the latter of whom is running for the U.S. Senate to replace retiring Sen. Roy Blunt (R).

The suit accuses “the Biden administration of suppressing the constitutionally protected right to free speech on elections, the COVID-19 lab leak theory, coronavirus-related lockdowns and other issues,” Fox News reported.

The outlet notes further:

The Justice Department objected to the handing over of the email correspondence under executive privilege and presidential communications privilege, but Doughty decided, “This Court believes Plaintiffs are entitled to external communications by Jean-Pierre and Dr. Fauci in their capacities as White House Press Secretary and Chief Medical Advisor to the President to third-party social media platforms.”

In their filing, the AGs argued that, “having threatened and cajoled social-media platforms for years to censor viewpoints and speakers disfavored by the Left, senior government officials in the Executive Branch have moved into a phase of open collusion with social-media platforms under the Orwellian guise of halting so-called ‘disinformation,’ ‘misinformation,’ and ‘malinformation.’”

“As a result of these actions, there has been an unprecedented rise of censorship and suppression of free speech – including core political speech – on social media platforms,” the lawsuit said, per Slay News. “Not just fringe views, but perfectly legitimate, responsible viewpoints and speakers have been unlawfully and unconstitutionally threatened in the modern public square.”

Schmitt addressed the judge’s decision on Twitter.

“In our lawsuit against the Biden Admin for colluding with social media companies to censor speech, the Court just ordered DOJ to produce records from key WH & HHS officials like Dr. Fauci, the WH Press Secretary, and others,” he noted.

“In May, We filed a landmark lawsuit against top ranking Biden Admin. officials for colluding with social media companies to censor free speech. We have already received documents that show their cozy relationship, and now we’re demanding more,” he added. “Here’s what we know so far. DOJ identified 45 federal officials who have interacted with social media companies on misinformation.”

“Beyond DOJ, Meta identified 32 additional federal officials including White House Officials who communicated with them, and YouTube identified 11 federal officials including White House Officials who communicated with them, many of whom were not disclosed by DOJ,” Schmitt added.

“This is a vast censorship enterprise, and the American people deserve to see the truth. Here are examples that already prove that federal officials and social media companies are coordinating on censorship, and we’re not close to being done yet,” he continued.

In response to the ruling, an administration official told Fox News that, “as we have said over and over again since the beginning of the administration in our battle against COVID-19, it has been critical for the American people to have access to factual, accurate, science-based information.”

“We believe in and we support freedom of speech, and we also believe it is important for all media platforms, including social media, to represent factual scientific information and combat misinformation and disinformation that can cost lives,” the official added, according to the outlet.

Andy Stone, the communications director for Meta, formerly known as Facebook, noted on a Sept. 1 tweet, before Doughty’s ruling: “This is at least the third major news cycle about our work with the CDC to address harmful misinformation about COVID, and the least informative. We announced that we would be doing this in 2020, during the Trump Administration.”

(CBreif) – Former President Donald Trump has torn a strip off of one of his oldest rivals in the Republican Party, Senate Minority Leader and Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell.

The former president was furious with Sen. McConnell for endorsing Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski against her primary opponent backed by former President Trump.

“Mitch McConnell, one of the worst & most unpopular politicians in the U.S., and the man that gave the Radical Left Democrats Trillions of Dollars for their Green New Deal Fake Infrastructure Bill (9% Infrastructure) without so much as a fight, is spending a fortune of donor’s money (the only way he holds power!) on pushing Left Wing Alaska hater Lisa Murkowski rather than great Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka – a close race. Murkowski killed ANWR, Voted to Impeach, & against Supreme Court!” he said on Truth Social.

At a rally in Anchorage, Alaska, Trump set his sights on Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski, calling her “worse than a Democrat.”

Trump was in Alaksa to support other Republican candidates, particularly Sarah Palin, who is running to replace the late Republican Rep. Don Young.

But it didn’t take long for the 45th president to turn his sights toward Murkowski, who is in the middle of a tough GOP primary race against Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.

“She’s a total creature of the Washington swamp but much worse than that and a tool of a corrupt establishment, the likes of which we’ve never seen. The fake news media loves her,” Trump said.

“This is your precious chance to dump the horrific RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski, using the acronym for “Republican in name only, “who’s worse than a Democrat. She’s worse than a Democrat,” Trump added.

Trump also took time at the rally to discuss Palin, the former Republican Alaska governor.

“She will be a true warrior for your state and for the country,” Trump said of Palin during the rally.

“Sir, we need you back. Four more years. Four more years,” Palin said while on stage with Trump. “And President Trump, you are home.”

Trump also discussed other topics, including Elon Musk’s recent decision to terminate the contract to buy Twitter.

For her part, Murkowski is admitting that she may lose her primary bid to Tshibaka.

“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.

“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,” she said about Tshibaka, who is leading in the polls.

“And if they say that that’s the way that Alaska has gone — kind of the same direction that so many other parts of the country have gone — I have to accept that,” Murkowski added. “But I’m going to give them the option… Maybe I am just completely politically naïve, and this ship has sailed. But I won’t know unless we — unless I — stay out there and give Alaskans the opportunity to weigh in.”

(TStaarnes) – Video shows members of George Mason University’s (GMU) Students For Life (SFL) chapter being harassed by a pro-abortion student during the school’s club fair.

In addition to harassing the pro-life students, the video obtained by Campus Reform shows the unnamed individual taking the club’s recruitment material last Wednesday.

When the club members asked the pro-abortion student to stop harassing them, he replied by saying he was, “exercising his First Amendment rights.”

“He just called everyone names and constantly harassed us, not leaving us alone,” the university’s SFL chapter president Ken Meekins told Campus Reform following the incident.

At one point, the student attempted to grab the camera from the club’s vice president Isabella Cespedes who was recording the incident.

“It’s a shame that these violent interactions happen because they do impede us from communicating our message and sharing the truth about the violence of abortion,” Cespedes told the outlet.

During an argument with one of the pro-life students, the individual defended his actions by telling the club members, “You took away a woman’s right to choose.”

Additionally, towards the end of the video, the individual finally admitted to throwing the club’s materials in a trash can and the pro-life students were allegedly able to retrieve them.

Cespedes ensured Campus Reform that the club would continue to share its message with their peers at GMU.

“We’re [going to] be continuing to be out here speaking to different people regarding how the babies in the womb do deserve human rights just like any other human,” she said.
