The View Suggests Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Plotting To KILL Trump

The level of batshittery on The View just got ratcheted up several more notches as the cackling witches suggested that Elon Musk is conspiring with JD Vance to get rid of Trump.

Host Whoopi Goldberg ranted “Who is in charge? Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that I think Elon Musk believes he’s President. I do.”

“Well, you can call him Vice President,” Joy Behar interjected, prompting Goldberg to continue ranting “I’ve called him Vice President. I called him President because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever said. I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

They’re not even in office yet. What is he supposed to be doing?

“He’s planning the presidency when he got to get rid of Trump,” Behar claimed out of nowhere.

“So you think it’s Musk, Vance?” Goldberg asked her, to which she responded “Possible.”

Goldberg then offered some advice to Trump, “Stay away from the stairways. People put their leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out.”

Georgia appeals court disqualifies DA Fani Willis from Trump election interference case

The Georgia Court of Appeals voted 2-1 on Thursday to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the 2020 election interference case involving President-elect Donald Trump.

The court did not go as far as throwing out the indictment.

“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” Judges Todd Markle and Trenton Brown wrote in their majority ruling. 

“We reverse the trial court’s denial of the appellants’ motion to disqualify DA Willis and her office. As we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case the assistant district attorneys — whose only power to prosecute a case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney who appointed them — have no authority to proceed,” they wrote.

Flawed Report Ignores Key Facts, Leaving America Vulnerable to Future Assassination Attempts

The Reality of the Bipartisan Task Force Investigation into Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump

The Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump Final Report. Sounds impressive. A Task Force. Like Storming a beachhead or cracking down on organized crime. Unfortunately, in the case of this Congressional committee, the American People did not get its money’s worth.

In fact, after months of “investigating” the result of those efforts consists of what the People already knew…the Secret Service did an extremely lousy job of protecting the then former President.

Do the People know why the alleged shooter attacked the then former President? No. Do the People know what physical evidence was collected to determine who was the alleged shooter? You know like DNA, fingerprints, photographs? Nope.

Did the Congressional Task Force interview the parents of the alleged shooter to determine what the family may have known about the shooting event, or did it bother to have a conversation with the alleged shooter’s employer?

You know an employer who had a recent photo of the alleged shooter and not some insulting High School photo. No. Neither of those interviews happened.

But the Task Force did provide the American People one hell of a photo op when its members took a day trip to Butler Pennsylvania to get a firsthand look at the rally venue and stand on the roof of the AGR building. How impressive. But was it worth the expense when the Task Force only came away with the Secret Service didn’t do its job?

AbleChild has been following the investigations associated with the attempted assassination in Butler, PA, and held some hope that that Task Force might provide some much-needed answers. Unfortunately, the Task Force Final Report leaves much to be desired so AbleChild must continue to ask the obvious questions.

For example, on Page 24 of the Final Report it is acknowledged that “at approximately 1:30p.m. Crooks’ father gave him the rifle that would later be used in the assassination attempt. The firearm was legally transferred to Crooks by his father the year prior.

Crooks told his father that he was going to the local gun range…” It seems obvious to ask if the father legally transferred the weapon to his son the prior year, why would the father have to give him the weapon?

Seriously, why would the son have to ask for the gun if he owned it for a year and, according to Senator Grassley’s report, the alleged shooter used it all the time at the local gun range?

Trump is Flushing the Expert Class Down the Toilet

President-elect Donald Trump is taking a media break from being called a fascist or Nazi to the latest criticism of filling his cabinet positions with those not deemed to be “experts” by the self-proclaimed “expert class” of government.

Who defines “expert”? Simple: those deemed experts by the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, or administrative class embeds. In other words, it is a circle-jerk of self-professed experts insisting they are the only true experts. Confirmation bias anyone?

Reuters bemoans Trump’s approach of going outside the “expert class”, who have gotten so much wrong over the years, instead favoring those with practical experience. “U.S. President-elect Donald Trump chose loyalists with little experience for several key cabinet positions.”

A member of the defense “expert class.”

Let’s start with intelligence and Trump’s decision to nominate former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence. As NBC News reports, almost 100 former national security officials signed a letter “urging the Senate to ‘carefully evaluate’ whether Gabbard is ‘equipped’ for the position, which requires Senate confirmation.”

Do you remember the last time a group of “security officials” or “experts” signed a letter? This occurred just before the 2020 election when the “expert class” sought to leverage their influence and credibility to interfere in a presidential election.

More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Yet the DOJ knew the laptop was real in early 2020, many months before the “experts” released their letter. This is the “expert class” in action.

Why is the expert class upset with Gabbard? Among other things, she’s anti-war, which is bad for business for the expert consultant class in Washington, but what they claim is that she had the gall to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017. So what? That was in her job description as a member of Congress. “She served on the House Armed Services Committee for all four terms from 2013 to 2021.”

“Crazy”: Trump Weighs In On Biden SELLING OFF Border Wall Sections For $5 Each

President Trump has called for a stop to be put to the Biden Administration selling off vast swathes of unused border wall sections at auction for as little as $5 a piece, calling it “crazy.”

As we highlighted last week, the wall sections, which have been laying on the ground unused for years due to Biden halting construction, are being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson.

Up to half a mile of unused wall is being moved every day, according to a Border Patrol agent.

“Joe Biden keeps talking about a smooth transition and unified government, and yet he races to sell desperately needed border wall for pennies on the dollar,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Friday.

He continued, “It will cost the U.S. a fortune, and time, to get the exact same wall to replace what has been sold, and the new wall will cost triple the price.”

Trump Team Weighing Options For Preemptive Airstrikes On Iran’s Nuclear Program

Just days after the rapid collapse of the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad, and now with Israeli warplanes having complete domination over Syria’s skies for the first time in modern history, the priorities of US and Israeli officials in the region have drastically changed.

Both US and Israeli leaders are now mulling the possibility of striking Iran’s nuclear program, amid several reports in recent weeks saying the Islamic Republic is expanding its program and enriching more nuclear-grade material. Tehran is now much more on the defensive, and could be more desperate to achieve nuclear weapons.

A significant Friday report in The Wall Street Journal says that “President-elect Donald Trump is weighing options for stopping Iran from being able to build a nuclear weapon, including the possibility of preventive airstrikes, a move that would break with the longstanding policy of containing Tehran with diplomacy and sanctions.”

“Trump has told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in recent calls that he is concerned about an Iranian nuclear breakout on his watch, two people familiar with their conversations said, signaling he is looking for proposals to prevent that outcome,” the report continues.

“The president-elect wants plans that stop short of igniting a new war, particularly one that could pull in the U.S. military, as strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities have the potential put the U.S. and Iran on a collision course.”

Currently the United States still has some 1,000 troops occupying northeast Syria, and they have come under internecine attacks by Iran-backed militias over the recent years. In any broader US-Iran war, these troops would be sitting ducks for attack via Tehran’s proxies in the region.

Trump in his first administration tried but failed to bring the troops home, but deeper entanglement in striking Iran could surely draw these troops into a broader conflict. The Pentagon would in that case likely expand its deployed forces in the region as well.

“Iran has enough highly enriched uranium alone to build four nuclear bombs, making it the only nonnuclear-weapon country to be producing 60% near-weapons-grade fissile material,” WSJ has noted further. “It would take just a few days to convert that stockpile into weapons-grade nuclear fuel.”

Trump’s Syrian Opportunity

With the shock overthrow of the Assad dynastic dictatorship that ruled Syria since 1971, new diplomatic opportunities are opening for the incoming administration. If President-elect Donald Trump is serious about his “ending forever wars” rhetoric, Syria offers him a chance to grab a low-hanging fruit.

Encouragingly, Trump himself seems to realize that. Commenting on Syria, he suggested that the events unfolding there are “not our fight”. He said that the “U.S. should have nothing to do with it (the situation in Syria). Let it play out. Do not get involved”. 

The Vice-President-elect JD Vance echoed this sentiment. When the neoconservative Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin categorically declared that in Syria “Freedom won[;] Russia, Iran, Hezbollah and Assad lost,” Vance admitted that such comments “made him nervous because the last time this guy was celebrating events in Syria, we saw the mass slaughter of Christians and a refugee crisis that destabilized Europe”. 

Trump-Vance’s prudence, as opposed to the wildly optimistic hawkish takes, is well advised. As Stimson Center’s Emma Ashford warned, “the track record of Arab Spring revolutions suggests a healthy amount of caution is warranted on where this is headed”. 

That certainly applies to Syria. Assad’s regime was an odious tyranny even by Middle Eastern standards, and its collapse is unlamented. The leader of the Islamist terrorist opposition Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)—formerly associated with Al-Qaeda—and the de facto new ruler of Syria is Ahmed al-Sharaa, more widely known as Mohammed al-Jolani, who is considered a terrorist by the U.S. and has a bounty of $10 million on his head. Since seizing power, he has embarked on a charm offensive promising an inclusive governance respectful of Syria’s ethnic and confessional diversity. Yet gruesome details of the extrajudicial executions of former regime officials and members of the Alawite religious group (to which the Assad clan happens to belong) are already emerging.

Zuckerberg And Bezos To Donate $1 Million Each To Trump’s Inauguration Fund

Tech leaders Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos of Meta and Amazon are both reportedly giving a million dollars to President Trump’s inauguration fund.

Zuckerberg’s donation comes following a private dinner he had with Trump at his Florida home

The Wall Street Journal reports that the donation is part of an effort by Zuckerberg to ease tensions between him and Trump.

Trump previously threatened to prosecute and jail Zuckerberg and anyone else who interfered in the election by using their tech platforms to censor information in the same vein as the Hunter Biden laptop revelations in 2020.

President Trump Named TIME Magazine Person of the Year, They Refuse to Use His Iconic Image, and Slap Him with a Fake Fact-Check

President Donald Trump was named TIME Magazine Person of the Year on Thursday morning.

TIME Magazine refused to use the iconic image of President Trump facing the assassin’s bullet.

That would be obvious and too honest for the TIME staff.

TIME also couldn’t help themselves and fake fact-checked President Trump on the link between vaccines and Autism.

TIME says without hesitation that there is no link. They got this from Big Pharma.
Millions of Americans today would disagree.

Secret Service fired 6 close-range shots at Ryan Routh—missed them all: report

The US Secret Service (USSS) agent that took shots at Ryan Routh, the second alleged would-be assassin of now-President-elect Donald Trump, reportedly missed six times from around five feet away from Routh. The alarming failure of the agent comes as the USSS has come under higher scrutiny since the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting and attempted assassination of Trump.

Routh, who was positioned around 300-500 yards away from Trump on his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, was taken into custody earlier in the fall after USSS spotted him in the bushes with a rifle. After USSS agents took the shots at him, he ran off and was later arrested and charged in the alleged assassination attempt.

The report from the task force said that on September 15, there was an agent “riding along the fence line” of the golf course and then “noticed an individual by the fence line on the external perimeter.”

“The agent first noticed the suspect, later identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, and then noticed the barrel of Routh’s gun sticking through the fence line. The special agent, who may have been as close as five feet away from Routh, immediately responded by firing shots toward the suspect. It is believed six shots in total were fired; however, final ballistics are pending an ongoing FBI investigation,” the report added.

Routh then fled from the scene to his “pre-positioned vehicle” the report adds. “A bystander who, according to the Secret Service, heard the shots and witnessed Routh running to his vehicle, snapped a photo of Routh’s license plate and provided it to one of the Secret Service special agents,” it continued.
