Vice President JD Vance appears for a lengthy interview with Miranda Devine to discuss a variety of current issues that have presented themselves to the Trump administration. [Full Video Here]
In the segment below, Vice President Vance talks about the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and the significant challenges dealing with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As noted, Zelenskyy was used to getting everything he demanded from the former Biden administration; however, no end to the conflict was present in the prior policy.
President Trump is seeking to end the conflict, and has aligned policy toward that end. Both President Putin and President Zelenskyy must be willing to engage with each other diplomatically to resolve the issues. There is no current intention between both of the leaders toward a negotiated settlement.
President Trump has no intention to push U.S. policy into the middle of the conflict between Zelenskyy and Putin. WATCH:
On Friday President Trump noted (off-the-cuff) he was ambivalent to the trade interests of Canada and had no intention to restart discussions. However, Trump also said he holds no personal animosity toward Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for the stupid and antagonistic move they made in purchasing a manipulative television ad intended to undermine the Trump trade position.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed he did apologize to President Trump for the Canadian effort.
GYEONGJU, South Korea, Nov 1 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Saturday he had apologised to U.S. President Donald Trump over an anti-tariff political advertisement and had told Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to run it.
Carney, speaking to reporters after attending an Asia-Pacific summit in South Korea, said he had made the apology privately to Trump when they both attended a dinner hosted by South Korea’s president on Wednesday.
“I did apologise to the president,” Carney said, confirming comments by Trump made on Friday.
President Donald Trump gave two press availabilities today, one aboard Airforce One en route to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend; the other upon arrival at the airport in West Palm Beach. Both videos below.
There have been many reports of Christians being slaughtered in Africa, specifically in northern Nigeria.
A recent study by The Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa, found more than 11,000 incidents of extreme violence from October 2019 through September of 2023. The violence left 55,910 people dead in 9,970 deadly attacks — as well as 21,621 people abducted in 2,705 attacks. {DATA HERE} Things have only gotten worse in the past two years.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has been pleading for help. “In a press release issued on Wednesday and made available to SaharaReporters, CAN said the scale of killings and displacement facing Christians had reached alarming proportions and demanded urgent, transparent action from the government and security agencies. “CAN affirms, without hesitation, that many Christian communities in parts of Nigeria, especially in the North, have suffered severe attacks, loss of life, and the destruction of places of worship,” the statement read.”
Today President Trump is calling attention to the issue via Truth Social.
Senator Ron Johnson underlines a key point being missed by many. All of the revelations about the FBI’s Arctic Frost investigation against President Trump and his supporters, are being provided by evidence carried to congress by DOJ/FBI “whistleblowers.”
Pause and reflect on that observation for a few moments. The public awareness of political targeting by the DOJ/FBI is coming from ‘whistleblowers’ to Senator Chuck Grassley. It is not Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel bringing forward the information about the weaponized use of their institutions.
If Pam Bondi and Kash Patel were in control of the root systems within their agencies, they would be the ones bringing forth the information; they are not. Bondi and Patel are not in control. Instead, the sunlight is coming from a few people within the organizations who are pushing the evidence out. Senator Johnson is providing a very deliberate point here:
The records that were made public yesterday were not obtained from an agency — they were obtained through a whistleblower.
We need more whistleblowers who want to see the integrity and credibility of @TheJusticeDept and @FBI restored.
One of the ongoing frustrations within the current dynamic is Pam Bondi and Kash Patel continuing to talk publicly about the honor, integrity and fidelity of the institutions they lead; without a public admission and statement about their agencies being comprehensively corrupted by the operation that Barack Obama and Eric Holder carried out.
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be hosting the annual White House trick or treat event tonight and passing out goodies for the trick and treaters. There are a few livestreams of the events below.
A few days ago, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took up lead position toward enlisting the TPUSA political movement for his future aspirations. Vice President JD Vance quickly responds by attending a TPUSA at the University of Mississippi. This is JD Vance’s first campaign rally for 2028.
The full remarks as well as the question-and-answer period are transcribed below the video.
[Transcript] – JD Vance (00:14): “Ole Miss, I got a question. Are you ready? Wow, that was impressive. They told me that would be impressive and they were exactly right. So, let me say a few words of thank you first to my dear friend and the widow of my dear friend Charlie Kirk. Erika, you have been such an amazing inspiration to the entire country. How much do we love Erika Kirk? She’s done a hell of a job. We have a couple of Mississippi senators here. We have both Senator Roger Wicker and Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. Thank you guys for being here. We have the governor of Mississippi with us. We got an all star crowd here. Governor, thank you for being here. And most importantly, we have got over 10,000 students from across Mississippi.
(01:35) We are proud to have you and we know that you are the future of Charlie Kirk’s legacy, so thank you for being here. I got this whole speech written and I’m not going to deliver any of what I had written. I’m just going to speak from the heart, because that’s what Charlie would so often do. When I think about what we lost six weeks ago, it feels like forever ago when I was in a meeting in the West Wing, and one of my staff members came in and said that Charlie had been shot. And then I looked at my phone, and I saw all the text messages and realized that my dear friend had been very seriously injured. Now, in the West Wing at that time, we actually thought that Charlie had a chance. We didn’t know that he was eventually going to pass away.
Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the Asia tour by President Trump and the trade delegation that culminated with a lengthy meeting between President Trump and Chairman Xi Jinping.
By locking down trade agreements with Australia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Japan and South Korea in advance of the meeting with Xi, President Trump had effectively boxed out the maneuvers of Beijing and isolated any contravening strategy.
Chairman Xi was facing a U.S. strategic trade reset with multiple options for replacement of Chinese goods and resources. As a result, the Beijing trade delegation recognized President Trump had effectively neutered the scale of their economic power and influence over the U.S. economy. Instead, the best play for big panda was to shake hands and come to agreeable terms. WATCH:
.
Playing into President Trump’s hands was/is the strains currently ongoing within the Chinese domestic economy. Further friction against the USA would have weakened Chairman Xi domestically.
President Trump recapped the trip to both ASEAN and APEC conferences, along with the substantial trade agreements that took place with various nations. One of the key points of inquiry was the meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping.
President Trump– “I had a truly great meeting with President Xi of China. There is enormous respect between our two Countries, and that will only be enhanced with what just took place. We agreed on many things, with others, even of high importance, being very close to resolved. I was extremely honored by the fact that President Xi authorized China to begin the purchase of massive amounts of Soybeans, Sorghum, and other Farm products. Our Farmers will be very happy! In fact, as I said once before during my first Administration, Farmers should immediately go out and buy more land and larger tractors.
I would like to thank President Xi for this! Additionally, China has agreed to continue the flow of Rare Earth, Critical Minerals, Magnets, etc., openly and freely. Very significantly, China has strongly stated that they will work diligently with us to stop the flow of Fentanyl into our Country. They will help us end the Fentanyl Crisis. China also agreed that they will begin the process of purchasing American Energy. In fact, a very large scale transaction may take place concerning the purchase of Oil and Gas from the Great State of Alaska. Chris Wright, Doug Burgum, and our respective Energy teams will be meeting to see if such an Energy Deal can be worked out.
The agreements reached today will deliver Prosperity and Security to millions of Americans. After this Historic trip to Asia, I am now heading back to Washington, D.C. I want to thank the Great Countries of Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea for being so generous, gracious, and hospitable — Also, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, who were at the Dinner last night hosted by His Excellency Lee Jae Myung. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are being brought into our Country because of them. Our Nation is Strong, Respected, and Admired. Again and, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”
Now that they personally become a target of Lawfare practices, suddenly the Senate wants to see some actionable accountability. Funny that.
After years of corrupt weaponization of his position, Judge James Boasberg is now outlined as having authorized the search warrants against the Arctic Frost targets which included nine Republican senators. Boasberg also wrote restraining orders forbidding the cell phone carriers from informing the targets of the corrupt search warrants.
Now senators Ted Cruz and Eric Schmitt are calling for House Speaker Mike Johnson to impeach James Boasberg. WATCH:
.
There is a long history of corruption from the bench by James Boasberg, specifically surrounding the effort to target Donald Trump in a host of DC court rulings, injunctions and affirmations from the judicial branch [SEE HERE – TAKE A SNICKERS]. However, now that it hits close to home, suddenly Congress is outraged.
Everything Senator Eric Schmitt and Ted Cruz say is accurate. But why did they ignore the long history of Boasberg’s activity? Schmitt statement below.
