Trump to Newsmax: If Impeached Again, Have Lots of Info on Top Dems

President Donald Trump told Newsmax on Thursday he has information about Hillary Clinton and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden that could be used against them, raising the possibility of pursuing his political adversaries if Democrats regain control of Congress and attempt to impeach him for a third time.

In an exclusive interview on "Finnerty," Trump said he previously declined opportunities to pursue criminal investigations of Clinton, his 2016 presidential opponent, but suggested that another impeachment effort could change the situation.

"I could have done numbers in Hillary Clinton. I could have done numbers in Bill Clinton. I do like Bill Clinton. I could have done numbers in Barack Hussein Obama. Still could. I still could," Trump said.

"I could do big numbers if I wanted to. I've turned down going after Hillary Clinton. Big numbers. I'm talking about going after them criminally."

Trump also claimed his administration possessed damaging information about the three prominent Democrats.

"I could have done something having to do with their reputations, destroyed their reputations," he said. "We have a lot of information about Hillary. We have a lot of information about Barack Hussein Obama. We have a lot of information on Sleepy Joe Biden."

Asked by host Rob Finnerty whether he intended to act on that information, Trump replied, "Well, I mean, I guess not. Probably not. But I think if they impeach me again, you know, again."

"Things could get ugly," Finnerty interjected.

Trump did not specify what information he possessed or identify any potential criminal charges against Clinton, Obama, or Biden.

The president made similar remarks during an Oval Office event Oct. 7, saying he had refrained from pursuing his political opponents out of respect for the presidency.

The renewed warning comes as Democrats seek to regain control of the House and Senate in the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said last month that Democrats had neither ruled out nor committed to pursuing impeachment. House Democrat Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., has said impeachment is not a top priority for his party.

 

Trump, who was impeached twice during his first administration and acquitted both times by the Senate, questioned what grounds Democrats could use to pursue another impeachment.

"The only thing they can impeach me for is making our country really strong," Trump said.

He also suggested another impeachment effort could ultimately benefit Republicans politically, noting that some observers believed his previous impeachments helped rather than hurt him.

"And I [have] become good at anti-impeachment. I call it the anti-impeachment movement," he said.

Earlier in the interview, Trump said he was campaigning aggressively for Republican candidates because his supporters historically turn out in smaller numbers when he is not on the ballot.

"What I'm trying to do is be on the ticket, essentially. I mean, I'm running like I'm on the ticket," he said.

Trump also accused major polling organizations of deliberately manipulating surveys to discourage Republican voters from participating in elections.

"No, they're rigged. They're rigged polls," he said.

"In some cases, they have me leading by so much that people aren't going to vote. And in some cases, they have me losing."

Trump did not provide evidence that polling organizations were deliberately manipulating their results.

He said he planned to campaign twice in Michigan before Election Day and was considering appearances in Minnesota.

Steven Crowder Has a Message for CNN and Talarico After Their Town Hall: 'Lawyer Up'

CNN had a town hall with James Talarico on Wednesday night. 

We reported on some of the hot topics from the event, including the wild abortion answer that he gave. He also claimed a variety of things that contradicted his past statements, including saying he's never called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Spoiler? He has. 

But as all this was going on, if you were watching video of the exchanges he was having with voters, you might have noticed something in the background: a big sign that said, "Change My Mind." If that sounds familiar to you, it should — it's the expression and format that Steven Crowder has used for years in his similar exchanges with people.

Crowder noticed and was not a happy camper. He indicated legal action was coming. 

"CNN and Jubilee hosted a town hall with @jamestalarico last night, and I only have one thing to say. Lawyer up," Crowder stated. 

Crowder noted they had used the phrase to describe the segment of the town hall no less than 10 times. 

"C'mon. At least pretend like you aren't overtly trying to rip me off. Clowns," he pointed out. 

Crowder said he had the trademark and he was taking action. 

We're suing. Not just CNN. Jubilee and James Talarico, as well. Change My Mind is a registered trademark. I was rejected by cable news for this exact concept. We took the risk. We paid the cost. Now everyone else swoops in with investors and donors, steals it, and profits.

So it looks like Talarico might have something other than the election that he's going to have to deal with. 

We'll have to see what all the various parties have to say on the matter, and we'll certainly let you know what that response is.

Trump Goes Scorched Earth: Cornyn and His ‘Liddle Buddy’ Karl Rove Trying to Hand TX to a Democrat

President Trump launched a blistering attack late Thursday against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and his “Liddle Buddy,” Karl Rove, accusing them of working to undermine Ken Paxton’s U.S. Senate campaign in Texas.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump said the duo is “doing everything possible” to make it harder for Paxton to defeat Democrat James Talarico. 

He referred to Talarico repeatedly by his new nickname, "TalaFreako," while calling the extreme liberal candidate a “Radical Left Lunatic” and the “ANTITHESIS of Texas Values.” 

James is guilty on both counts. The president's ire, however, was keenly focused on Paxton and Rove, who have opted not to unify behind a clearly more qualified conservative candidate, and instead seem content to let the Democrat oddity take a Senate seat from Texas.

"Sadly, and very stupidly, John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Best in the United States, to win the upcoming Midterm Election against (Talarico)," Trump wrote.

"John Cornyn, who, after my Endorsement, lost the Primary to Ken by a very wide margin, and Karl Rove, who shouldn’t be allowed to spew his jealousy on Fox News, should be ashamed of themselves," he continued. "They are hurting Texas and, more importantly, hurting the United States of America!"

"If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove, who have ineffectively opposed me for my entire political career."

Trump urged Republicans who previously supported Cornyn to immediately switch their backing to Paxton and keep the seat in Republican hands.

Which is what anybody with actual conservative values would do. Otherwise, you're just Adam Kinzinger Lite or Liz Cheney in drag. The President is accurate. Time for Texas Republicans — actual Republicans — to put their misgivings aside and rally behind Paxton.

It's not the first time in recent weeks that Rove, a former top adviser for President George W. Bush, has been accused of acting like a faux Republican. Last month, the longtime political strategist announced he was voting for a Democrat in the Texas Railroad Commissioner race.

Yeah, taking a stand for the Railroad Commissioner race that nobody ever heard of. What a warrior.

Rove called it the “final straw” after Republican Bo French made what Rove described as racist comments. Comments that, in reality, were just him pointing out demographics. Rove might have known this, perhaps if French presented the information on a whiteboard and drew pictures to help him out.

Rove also drew fire in September for criticizing Trump’s immigration enforcement, arguing the president had moved beyond targeting “bad actors” and created new problems with broader ICE operations in cities like Los Angeles. 

He mocked arrests at places such as Home Depot and claimed the efforts were turning the country against Trump, even though the president had long campaigned on deporting all illegal aliens, not just criminals. 

Note to Rove — ALL illegal aliens are bad actors. Breaching a nation's sovereign borders is often a gateway to other crimes.

These moves reinforced long-standing questions about Rove’s loyalty to the modern GOP.

Cornyn, meanwhile, has also drawn fire for failing to aggressively push the SAVE America Act, the election integrity bill that would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote. 

After co-sponsoring and voting for the measure, he later dismissed further efforts to pass it as unrealistic, opposed canceling the August recess to force action, and publicly declared the bill “not gonna happen.” 

He was effectively siding with Democratic obstruction instead of fighting to overcome it. And he did so to the detriment of Republican candidates in the midterms.

Cornyn and his "liddle buddy" need to get a grip. Abandoning your entire life's morals by helping out a freak like this in Texas is abhorrent.

NBC Harasses Chick-Fil-A Over Marriage Stance

Did I step into a time machine here? NBC seemed irritated again that Chick-fil-A still maintains its view on traditional marriage. It’s a faith-based business; closed on Sundays. That’s the Cathy family way. This isn’t new. In 2012, the fast-food chain faced boycotts over its views on marriage. There were some protests and boycotts — it didn’t do anything. Sorry, once again, these folks don’t affect market share. With $24 billion in sales, it’s a giant, yet NBC really wanted to gin up the gay marriage stuff again (via Newsbusters):

NBC’s Today scored the first network interview with third-generation Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy for Wednesday’s show and, while co-host Craig Melvin sang the company’s praises and showcased for viewers its humble beginnings, he spent just over 90 seconds harassing him over his family’s Christian roots that he described as being against “equal rights,” which led to far-left bans, protesters, and threats to the company in 2012.

The exchange came partway through the six-minute-plus block (which concluded with banter between Melvin and the other co-hosts about their favorite Chick-fil-A sauces). Melvin, a fellow Believer in Christ, led into this by holding up the family-owned company’s Christian values as the “guiding force for how they operate.”

Melvin asked specifically about the fact that they’re still closed on Sundays. Cathy said it was because his “grandfather, his brother, Ben, when they started...it was very common back in the 1940s that a lot of places were closed on Sunday, and so, they had to do that. They wanted to have a chance to take a break, go to church, and for others to take a rest.”

“It’s a company that was sort of built — built on God, if you will, and that still seems to be very much a part of the DNA of Chick-fil-A,” Melvin replied.

Cathy continued, saying faith in Him “is our anchor, in the sense of what our corporate purpose states, that we’re in business to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that’s entrusted to us, to have a positive influence on all that come into contact with Chick-fil-A.”

Guys, get over it. They’re not changing. You lost.

Bill Maher's Take on the 2028 Election Will Probably Drive Libs Mad

 Bill Maher thinks Trump and the GOP are cooked for the midterms. We’ll see about that, but he’s more than bearish on the Democrats’ hopes of winning the White House in 2028, for no other reason than they’re doubling down on nonsensical policy positions and stacking new ones on top:

The Democrats aren’t going to like this one bit. Bill Maher just rocked Chris Cuomo’s world with brutal reality check about the midterms. It’s no secret that Maher thinks Republicans are going to lose badly, but the part that will piss off his own party is what he said next: the Democrats aren’t going to “win” either. This is an important distinction and Maher nailed it here. CUOMO: “Do you believe that if Trump takes a beating, the party takes a beating, is that the same thing saying that the Democrats made the case to the American people?” Maher cracks up. MAHER: “Absolutely not!” “They have not renounced their crazy at all. In fact, they are going full steam ahead. That’s why I’m so worried about 2028.” “And a lot of the far-left will take it, Trump’s loss, they will misinterpret as a recommendation for what they’re trying to do.” Maher then called out the left’s embrace of communism, arguing that Trump’s use of the term doesn’t automatically make it wrong. MAHER: “You know, the whole thing with to communism and it is communism. I know Trump says it, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. When you talk about taking over the means of production and taking over all the private industries, that’s communism, folks! You can look it up.” This is exactly the point. The Democrats will try to parade any midterm victory as an endorsement of their radical policies.

CUOMO: “Do you believe that if Trump takes a beating, the party takes a beating, is that the same thing saying that the Democrats made the case to the American people?”

“And a lot of the far-left will take it, Trump’s loss, they will misinterpret as a recommendation for what they’re trying to do.”

Maher has gone on record that he’d consider voting Republican in 2028 if Democrats can’t get their act together. 

Bill Maher is the only sane Democrat left.

MS NOW issues apology after falsely reporting Patel was in Russia: 'We regret this error'

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) disputed a recent report from MS NOW that falsely claimed that FBI Director Kash Patel had traveled to Russia for a meeting on Tuesday, citing two “sources familiar with the matter.”

MS NOW aired a report on its morning show “State of Play” on Wednesday that alleged Patel had flown to Russia for a meeting, sparking widespread confusion when the FBI showed Patel was actually in Lynchburg, Virginia, at the time, attending a law enforcement appreciation event at Liberty University.

Later on Wednesday, FBI Rapid Response released a statement bashing MS NOW’s fake report.

“Left: MS Now reports two sources familiar say Kash Patel just landed in Russia Right: Here’s where Kash Patel actually is,” the FBI wrote. “Liberty U, doing a law enforcement appreciation event MS Now’s “sources” are “familiar” with NOTHING!”

MS NOW justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian later addressed the error on air, maintaining that the network are “transparent” when they make mistakes.

“We do know now that he [Patel] has not already landed in Russia, as we reported earlier,” Dilanian said. “We regret this error, and we are transparent about when we make errors.” 

Patel joined the backlash himself, voicing his frustration in a post on X where he called out the publication for its error.

“MS NOW just reported I had “landed in Russia” for meetings with the FSB. The same outlet constantly tells lies about this FBI and law enforcement’s historic achievements in safeguarding the American people,” he wrote.

“They owe an apology to this FBI, the men and women of law enforcement, and to the American people,” Patel added.

FBI Assistant Director Ben Williamson also called out the error on X, describing it as a “strange experience” to see reports placing the FBI director in Russia while simultaneously receiving photos of him in Lynchburg.

“I have had many strange experiences in life, but in tier 1 had to be seeing a clip of MS Now reporting breaking news that Kash Patel has “just landed in Russia” – right as I’m receiving pics of Kash Patel doing a law enforcement appreciation event today in Lynchburg, Virginia.”

Senator Chuck Grassley: DOJ Spreadsheets Track 639,000 MAGA Buyers

 

Senator Chuck Grassley  

 

has dropped a bomb on the table. His Senate Judiciary Committee memo says subpoena returns and whistleblower disclosures show the Department of Justice and the Special Counsel’s Office obtained spreadsheets containing personal data on at least 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters — including people who bought campaign merchandise like red MAGA hats. If you ever tapped “buy” on a campaign checkout page, Grassley’s memo suggests your name might be sitting next to it in a federal file.

Grassley’s memo: the new Arctic Frost revelation

The key claim is simple and ugly: Senator Chuck Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, circulated a memo this week saying “at least 639,000” individuals appear in materials produced to investigators. The memo says more than 148,000 rows look like donor records and that the spreadsheets include names, dates of birth, addresses, emails, party registration, donation amounts, limited payment data and merch purchase shipping addresses. Those are the committee’s numbers — and those numbers alone should make every American uneasy.

What the files reportedly contain — and why the MAGA hat line matters

Grassley’s office says the data came in subpoena returns and related production items provided to the Special Counsel’s Office and DOJ. The memo specifically names a “merch” strand tying purchasers of campaign items — yes, including red MAGA hats — to shipping addresses. That detail turned the story from dry oversight paperwork into a privacy scandal. Asking why the government needs to know who bought a hat is not hyperbole — it’s basic common sense about the limits of prosecutorial power and the privacy rights of political participants.

Why Republicans, independents and liberty-minded Democrats should care

This is about more than partisan outrage. If investigators collected broad datasets of political donors, voters and merch purchasers, the basic civil-liberties red flags go off. Who approved those subpoenas? Were the requests narrowly tailored to the investigation, or did they sweep up entire donor rolls and vendor records? Grassley’s memo calls the collection “incredibly invasive” and raises legal questions about overbroad subpoenas, retention of sensitive data, and whether ordinary Americans will be told their information was gathered. The DOJ needs to answer those questions, not hide behind silence.

What comes next — oversight, answers, accountability

Congressional oversight should not be performative theater. Grassley has opened a clear path: demand the chain of custody for the spreadsheets, subpoena the vendors who produced records, and require the Justice Department and former Special Counsel Jack Smith to explain which subpoenas produced what data and why. If the data were gathered lawfully and narrowly, say so and prove it. If not, there must be consequences. Americans who donated a dollar, wrote a check, or bought a hat deserve better than the creeping impression that political activity is now logged in a government dossier.

Trump Blocks Pentagon’s Plan to Livestream Fort Hood Execution

President Donald Trump stepped in this week and stopped the military from live-streaming the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. The execution will go forward by firing squad, but the public will not be given a front-row seat. Families of the victims may watch in person if they choose, but the spectacle is dead on arrival.

Trump pulls the plug on the livestream

What changed is simple: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had announced the execution would be “public” and suggested people would be able to watch. That set off a loud and fast backlash. President Donald Trump then posted that the execution “will not be streamed” and that immediate family members may attend in person. The president overruling the Pentagon puts an end to an unprecedented plan to broadcast a military execution live. 

Why livestreaming the Fort Hood execution was a bad idea

There were real reasons to worry. This would be the first U.S. military execution in decades and the first firing squad in generations. Broadcasting it risked turning a solemn act of justice into propaganda or a martyr-making event for terrorists. Veterans, religious leaders and officials from both parties warned that a livestream would be ugly theater, not deterrence. Even within the administration some senior figures said they wouldn’t watch — a clear sign the plan was tone-deaf.

Who bungled it — and who fixed it

Credit where it’s due: the president stopped a bad idea before it became worse. Call it an overdue intervention. But don’t ignore the stumble that got us here. A senior Pentagon official publicly suggesting a paid-for public viewing — call it what it was, a PR idea gone rogue — showed poor judgment. The military should be careful with its optics. Justice can be carried out without turning it into a spectacle or a ratings grab.

The execution remains scheduled to take place by firing squad, and for now that is the final chapter on the livestream debate. The sensible next step is for the Army to lay out clear rules about who may attend, how victims’ families will be treated, and how the matter will be handled with dignity. The public doesn’t need a show; victims need closure, and the military needs to act like it understands the difference.
