'He calls fallen heroes suckers': Trump's D-Day tribute does not go according to plan

Former President Donald Trump, a convicted felon, honored those who risked their lives on the beaches of Normandy eighty years ago Thursday with a memorial posted on his Truth Social platform.

"The men of D-Day will live forever in history as among the bravest, noblest, and greatest Americans ever to walk the earth," Trump declared on Truth Social. "They shed their blood, and thousands gave their lives, in defense of American Freedom. They are in our hearts today and for all time."

Trump warned by GOP pollster that his support becomes 'much more volatile' if he's jailed

Recent polling since Donald Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts has shown him losing support from independent voters but maintaining the potential votes of most Republicans — but that could all change if he finds himself in prison.

'You're not electing an emperor!' British analyst has overseas perspective on Trump trial

Former President Donald Trump and his followers are trying to portray his criminal conviction in New York as an act of tyranny, and a witch hunt that weaponized the rule of law. But that's not how the rest of the world sees it.

Right-wing reporter tricked senile Black Panthers founder into Trump endorsement: family

A video that appeared to show David Hilliard, an elderly founder of the Black Panthers, endorsing former President Donald Trump is being hastily taken down as his family revealed he was manipulated into it — and threatened the original poster, a rogue right-wing reporter, with a cease and desist.

According to The Daily Beast, "The video was uploaded to TikTok by Carol Mitchell on Sunday, according to the New York Post. Leading Report, a website known for peddling misinformation, also posted about the interview on X. In a reposted version of the video, a Black woman, presumably Carol Mitchell, introduced Hilliard. 'I want you to meet someone who knew Donald Trump, and he’s going to tell you about Donald Trump in his own words,' Mitchell said before passing the camera over to Hilliard."

Pence aide turns tables on WSJ over Biden exposé: 'Happy to discuss Trump’s mental acuity

Hours after the Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report titled, Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping, a former top aide to former Vice President Mike Pence seeks to offer the newspaper some insight into ex-President Donald Trump's "mental acuity & fitness for office" as well.

The Journal wrote in its Tuesday, June 4 article: "The 81-year-old Biden is the oldest person to hold the presidency. His age and cognitive fitness have become major issues in his campaign for a second term, both in the minds of voters and in attacks on him by Republicans. The White House and top aides said he remains a sharp and vigorous leader."

'In short, it's nuts': Ex-GOP insider blasts Mike Johnson's 'flat out irresponsible' move

A former Republican counsel to the House Intelligence Committee thinks it's "nuts" that House Speaker Mike Johnson named hard-right GOP Reps. Scott Perry and Ronny Jackson — both of whom tried to help overturn the 2020 presidential election — to the chamber's powerful intelligence committee.

Perry, of Pennsylvania, was "central to the plan of Jan. 6," former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified in front of Congress. But Hutchinson's testimony apparently didn't dissuade Johnson from naming Perry to the intelligence committee Wednesday.
