Trump: I'd Be OK With China Building Cars in US
 |
President Donald Trump said on Friday he would not oppose Chinese automakers building cars in the United States despite some concerns from U.S. lawmakers and car companies. "If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I'd be okay with that," Trump said in an interview on the Fox News program "The Ingraham Angle." "Japan does it, but they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people," he said. He added that he does not want Chinese automakers to build cars in Mexico and ship them to the United States. "I'm not knocking Chinese cars," Trump said. U.S. automakers have urged Trump, who is due to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington in two weeks, not to agree to allow Chinese automakers access to the U.S. market. On Wednesday, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, said there were "rumors that Trump is planning to allow Chinese cars to be sold in the U.S., as part of a larger deal he’s putting together. That would be a strategic mistake." Trump called Slotkin's statement a "total phony rumor" and said he had kept Chinese vehicles out of the United States. A regulation imposed by former President Joe Biden's administration in early 2025 effectively bans all Chinese automakers from selling or building passenger vehicles in the U.S. Washington also maintains more than 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. Last week, a group representing nearly all major automakers urged Congress to quickly pass legislation permanently barring Chinese vehicles from the U.S. market. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Volkswagen , Hyundai, Honda, Stellantis and others, called for passage of the bill by the end of December. "Right now, Chinese automakers are dumping subsidized vehicles with connected software and hardware around the world," the group's CEO, John Bozzella, said in a letter to congressional leaders. |
New: Talarico Tries to Hoodwink Voters in Latest Remarks About 'Banned' Kimmel Interview
 |
Jimmy Kimmel made an announcement earlier this week on his "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show, claiming that he wasn't going to be running an interview with Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico on air. He tried to claim "censorship" from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Talarico joined him in this claim. But as we reported, there was no "censorship." It was ABC that made the decision on the interview, apparently not wanting to have to deal with any questions about the equal time rules that apply to everyone. Even Kimmel essentially acknowledged this:
But that's on them if ABC makes the decision. That's not censorship; that's them not wanting to deal with the rules. They were not stopped from airing it by the FCC. They then use this tactic to try to get more views on the video, and claim the evil Trump administration is suppressing them. They know people on the Left will fall for it, because it was the same thing they did with the Stephen Colbert interview with James Talarico. Now, just like then, we see Talarico spreading the same lie as he did before. He's now claiming his Kimmel interview was "banned." "This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see," he falsely claimed. What hogwash. "We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system." Then in a reply post linking to the video, he wrote, "Watch my banned interview with Jimmy Kimmel on YouTube." Just a straight-up lie; he wasn't banned. But he did it before and got away with it, so he appears to be at it again. He's now trying to paint it as an effort to shut him down because they're so scared of him. Like President Donald Trump gives a darn about him spewing nonsense on Kimmel. But he's shown he doesn't have any compunction about misleading people. And they know they can put this over on the people on the Left since they did before. It's a way to whip up the base, and they know they will have people bite. Exhibit A: this piece of idiocy from Jim Acosta. Um, Jim? It's very simple. Ted Cruz is not running in an election coming up in under 60 days. Plus, Talarico can most certainly go on Kimmel, as we said. The decision was ABC's, not the FCC's or the president's. The Left wants to use it as a rallying cry to help pump the campaign. But it's not going to change all of Talarico's deficiencies that can sink him with the people of Texas |
DHS Drops a Wild Ilhan Omar Marriage Update — ‘We’ll Deport You’
 |
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Thursday that federal authorities are conducting an ongoing investigation into allegations that Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) married her brother as part of an immigration scheme. The allegation that Omar married her brother has circulated since at least 2016. Speaking to political podcaster Benny Johnson at the GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Mullin suggested the case is more than just political gossip. “We know that she married her brother to try to bring him to the United States,” he asserted, referring to Omar’s alleged 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. In 2019, the Minneapolis Star Tribune revisited documents and unanswered questions about Omar’s marriage history, including old claims that she wed a relative to "skirt immigration laws" — claims she has denied. Mullin added that the man now lives in London and that investigators may be looking at “the whole family migration and possibly some illegal activity for them to come to the United States to begin with.” Illegal activity? Is this just political bluster? Mullin feeding a story he knows will get clicks? The DHS secretary insists there is more there. “Here’s what I want to make sure we do: if we actually move a case forward, it’s not a political case, it’s an actual case, because they did things wrong,” he said. “If you lied about certain things about your application. There’s no expiration to that. If we can prove it – that you shouldn’t have been here in the first place – we’ll deport you.”
President Trump has hammered Omar on the same allegation, arguing the country should want immigrants who contribute — not lawmakers, he says, who arrived under a cloud and then spent their careers complaining about America. "Yeah, I want to see people that contribute. I don’t want to see Somalia. I don’t want to see a woman that, you know, marries her brother to get in and then becomes a congressman and does nothing but complain," the President said in an interview with Politico late last year. "Let her go back, fix up her own country," he added.
Omar has repeatedly denied the allegation, calling claims that Elmi is her brother “absurd and offensive.” In May, Omar told Fox News that Vice President JD Vance’s claim of a Justice Department investigation into her immigration history and alleged fraud was false. "That is not something that is happening," she claimed. "That man is delusional." Marriage fraud is a federal felony, carrying up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. |
WTF Is Wrong With These Two: AOC and Mamdani Caught Laughing at 9/11 Memorial
 |
There’s nothing more that needs to be said here: there shouldn’t be any smiles or laughing at the 9/11 Memorial. And yet New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were caught laughing at the ceremony. It wouldn’t be a big deal, but we know how Mamdani feels about today.

Despite his social media feed, Mamdani did this before the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Amy covered it: at a signing ceremony for an executive order recognizing the 9/11 attacks, Mamdani gave a pen to a lawyer who represented an al-Qaeda terrorist.

Just all-around despicable here. |
The Media Are Going to Destroy the Holdout Lindsay Clancy Juror
 |
We absolutely do not despise the media enough. Truly. Earlier today, we learned that the holdout juror was a black man, and the Left didn't know how to process that information at first. But now it seems they've put their concerns about racism aside and have decided that defending a woman who killed their children is more important than not being bigoted. Despicable. Notice it's a history of domestic violence allegations. Not charges. Allegations. He still knew it was wrong to murder children. We all know exactly what they're doing here.
And this juror is still on the right side of history. We've been reliably told that absolves you of any crimes you may have committed.
They have no shame.
This is incredibly sick.
The online mob demands retribution, and there is no group that is more brutally violent and demanding of obedience than leftist white women.
The authorities in Massachusetts do not care. They've decided Lindsay Clancy is the victim here, and anyone who gets in the way of that must be destroyed.
They're really going to do this. Earlier today, we reported on several Democrats — including Ayanna Pressley and AOC — demanding federal investigations into "lynchings" after several black Americans hanged themselves. Most were ruled suicides, one is being investigated as a murder, and the suspect is the father of the victim's child. But not one of them will speak up as the media tries to destroy a black juror because he rightly believed Lindsay Clancy murdered her children. And for years, the Democrats have refused to brook any criticisms of George Floyd, the career criminal who died after refusing to comply with police. Floyd is, to them, a saint.
And this is the most important point here. The state compels us to serve on a jury. This sends a clear message to any juror anywhere in the country: vote the wrong way, and the media will destroy your life. How can anyone — regardless of race or gender — be expected to be an impartial juror after seeing what the media, the defense, and other jurors are doing to this one man? |
Giuliani Warns: Softness on Terror Risks 9/11 Repeat
 |
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani returned to Newsmax’s Finnerty to remind a nation still hurting that the lessons of Sept. 11 cannot be allowed to fade. He used the 25th anniversary coverage to warn that complacency and political correctness risk softening our defenses against a real and continuing threat. Giuliani’s presence on the program underscored that veterans of that day still feel a duty to speak plainly about security and memory. “If you can’t identify your enemy, you can’t defeat your enemy” is more than a slogan — it’s a principle Giuliani has hammered home for years, arguing that refusing to name radical Islamist ideology only handicaps our security efforts. That blunt assessment has been echoed across conservative circles and by intelligence professionals who say precise language matters when crafting policy. Americans who value strength over spin know this isn’t about religion; it’s about a murderous political ideology that seeks to harm us. Giuliani went further on Finnerty, warning that parts of New York City have begun to forget the price paid on 9/11 and questioning whether certain public figures should preside over Ground Zero ceremonies. He specifically criticized the idea of elevating officials whose views or affiliations make survivors and first responders uncomfortable, arguing that remembrance should never become a stage for apology or revisionism. That controversy is exactly the sort of cultural amnesia conservatives have warned about for years. This isn’t fearmongering — it’s a call to clarity. When officials sanitize terms like “radical Islamist extremism” for fear of offending, they hamstring our law enforcement and intelligence communities and betray the victims who paid with their lives. If we are serious about preventing another attack, we must refuse the soft-headed language games that let ideology hide behind euphemism. Policy matters as much as rhetoric. Giuliani’s intervention is a reminder that securing our borders, enforcing immigration laws rigorously, and funding robust counterterrorism efforts are practical essentials, not partisan talking points. Conservatives will keep pushing for policies that protect ordinary Americans and ensure that the sacrifices of 9/11 were not in vain. On a solemn day of remembrance, the proper response is clear-eyed resolve — to honor the dead by defending the living and to teach future generations what bravery and vigilance really look like. We owe it to first responders, to the families who still mourn, and to every American who believes in a free, secure country to reject appeasement and stand firm against extremism in all its forms. |
Kimmel's Reckless Rant Backfires as ABC Affiliates Pull the Plug
 |
Jimmy Kimmel’s latest interview didn’t save him — it made the consequences inevitable. What began as an ill-timed monologue about the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk turned into a professional disaster when major ABC affiliates pulled his show and the network moved to suspend him, showing that audiences and station owners alike will not bankroll reckless political theater. Conservatives should be clear-eyed about what happened: Kimmel weaponized a real, painful death for partisan point-scoring, and the marketplace reacted exactly as it should. When Nexstar and Sinclair refused to air his program and advertisers began to squint at the risk, it wasn’t censorship so much as accountability — media companies protecting their shareholders and viewers from a host who crossed a line. Instead of accepting responsibility, Kimmel doubled down in subsequent interviews, calling government scrutiny “un-American” and lashing out at critics, a tone-deaf move that made his situation worse. When entertainers treat the airwaves like ivory towers and then act surprised at consequences, they reveal how disconnected they are from the rest of the country who pay the bills and keep the lights on. Meanwhile, the family at the center of the story refused to play along with Hollywood’s narrative machine — Charlie Kirk’s widow publicly rejected offers to broker an apology and made it plain this was not their mess to exploit. That sober, dignified response underlines a basic conservative truth: real people deserve respect, not political theater, and Kimmel’s refusal to show basic restraint cost him credibility. The corporate calculus was obvious and swift: reinstate or cut losses. ABC ultimately brought Kimmel back after the blowback and the outcry from show-business elites, but returning to the same stage without a meaningful reckoning looks less like redemption and more like a reset for an entertainer who misread the room. Americans aren’t stupid — when your audience feels used, they vote with their remote and advertisers vote with their ad dollars. Patriots who value decency and responsibility should welcome accountability — especially when the media elite tries to turn tragedy into talking-point ammunition. Jimmy Kimmel’s interview sealed a truth many in Hollywood will never admit: celebrity status doesn’t put you above consequence, and a self-righteous monologue followed by bluster isn’t the same thing as leadership or moral seriousness. The rest of the country can see who actually stood with the grieving family, and who treated a death as a punchline. |

US Marks 25 Years Since Sept. 11 Attacks
Americans are commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11, remembering the shock, the dead and the sweeping consequences of the al-Qaida attacks on symbols of U.S. might and prosperity. Friday's milestone anniversary will bring memorial rituals — wreath-laying, flag-flying, moments of silence, vigils and readings of victims' names — and volunteer projects in tribute to a day that about half of U.S. adults remember as the most historic event of their lifetime, according to a new poll. For others it's an occasion for private reflection — or, in many schools, education — about the attack that unfolded in a single morning but left nearly 3,000 dead and a decades-long trail of aftermath, from personal grief to far-flung wars. Police Officer Casey Kloepfer plans to spend time Friday at the Brooklyn station house where his father, Officer Ronald Kloepfer, reported to work that day before being called to the World Trade Center. He didn't make it home. Casey Kloepfer was only 4, but he grew up hearing about his father's affinity for helping people and for a job that enabled him to do so. He became an officer this past June. “It’s big footsteps to fill, but it’s definitely something that I take very seriously and want to continue to honor him and be the best police officer I can,” he said by phone this week. The 29-year-old wears his father’s badge number and even has joined the New York Police Department lacrosse team, which his dad founded. On Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida extremists hijacked four commercial jets and crashed them into New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The impacts brought down the World Trade Center's twin towers — icons of U.S. economic power, and among the tallest buildings on Earth — and blew a hole in the Pentagon, the U.S. military's fortresslike headquarters near Washington. The fourth plane also was headed for the nation's capital, officials concluded, but the aircraft went down in Pennsylvania after passengers and crew members stormed the cockpit and fought the hijackers. “In the course of history, there are a few moments that divide time into, really, what came before” and after, President Donald Trump said at a 9/11 remembrance in Washington this week. The Republican, who was in his native New York on Sept. 11 and has often recounted his memories, plans to attend the Pentagon's anniversary ceremony Friday. Vice President JD Vance is expected at the observance at the National Sept. 11 Memorial in New York, while other administration officials are headed to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania. Planned remembrances extend far beyond the attack sites, from beams of light projecting from New Hampshire's Mount Washington to a stair climb at Mississippi State University's football stadium to a ceremony at Honolulu's 9/11 memorial. Traditionally, there are no political speeches at the New York commemoration, where relatives read all the victims' names, punctuated with moments of silence at key points in the attack timeline. For the first time, this year's ceremony will add a silent moment to honor people who were exposed to the clouds of toxic dust released by the twin towers’ fiery collapse and have since died of cancer and other illnesses. Questions remain about how many people developed health problems linked to the dust. It's a reminder of how the attacks' long shadow has reached into many corners of life in the U.S. and beyond. The U.S.-led global war on terrorism included invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan — the latter Washington's longest war — and detentions and harsh interrogation of terror suspects in an international network of secret CIA prisons. The U.S. military found and killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011, but accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed still awaits a trial 23 years after his capture. The attacks changed U.S. air travel, prompted new federal surveillance and intelligence-gathering powers and banking regulations, and generated ongoing debate over the balance between security and freedom. The Department of Homeland Security, many state anti-terrorism laws and billions of dollars in state and local counterterrorism funding all are post-9/11 creations. So, too, is the culture of individual vigilance summed up by the slogan “ if you see something, say something.” Sept. 11 generated a wave of patriotism that propelled some Americans to join the military, fire departments, police forces or other public agencies. But amid the national unity that many remember, the attacks also fanned mistrust, prejudice and hate crimes directed at Muslims. In the quarter-century since, Muslim Americans have played a growing role in public life from statehouses to Congress to New York City Hall, where Zohran Mamdani is the city's first Muslim mayor. Yet he is facing some criticism for planning to attend the anniversary ceremony at ground zero, something his predecessors have done for years. Some complaints came from Republican ex-Gov. George Pataki and 9/11 victims’ relatives, who cited among other things past remarks that some of Mamdani's political associates have made about the attacks. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Republican, also inveighed against Mamdani attending. Mamdani, a Democrat, responded this week that he loves the city and country and wants the anniversary to focus on victims' families, first responders and New Yorkers who helped one another after the attacks, which he called a “horrific act of terror.” The 34-year-old mayor was an elementary school student in New York on 9/11. Sept. 11 isn't a federal holiday, but Congress has designated it both Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance. “One appropriate way to remember is by serving,” says Jay Winuk, who lost his brother Glenn Winuk and then co-founded the volunteer organization 9/11 Day with friend David Paine. The group helps people find meal-packing and other volunteer opportunities and this year arranged for dozens of Times Square billboards to pause their advertising at 9:11 a.m. Friday. Instead, they will simply display the time. |
