President Trump delivers impromptu remarks to the assembled media pool after visiting Saana convenient store (bodega) in Harlem. Last year Jose Alba, a clerk at the store Trump visited in the heavily Hispanic section of Harlem, was attacked by 35-year-old Austin Simon. The altercation, captured on CCTV ended with Alba fatally stabbing Simon.
Mr Alba, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, was initially arrested and charged with murder but the public was outraged at the prosecution after seeing the attack against him. Manhattan district attorney Alin Bragg eventually dropped the charges, saying he could not prove Alba did not act in self-defense.
President Trump used the NYC venue to emphasize how the Biden administration has created an increase in crime with constant attacks against police officers. Mr Trump was warmly greeted by people from Harlem during his visit. The support for President Trump from Latinos, blacks and the overall working class within urban areas is panicking democrats. WATCH:

NYC (AP) – Trump stopped by Sanaa Convenient Store, a tiny bodega that sells chips, sodas and other snacks. Trump aides said the former president and presumptive GOP nominee chose the store because it has been the site of a violent attack on an employee, a case that resulted in public criticism for the district attorney now prosecuting him.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

It needs to be said, and it needs to be said loudly, the FBI is the 2024 equivalent of the 1984 Soviet-era KGB, now FSB.
The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization.
Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Representative Mike Garcia (R-CA) is straight forward, pretenses are slowly starting to be dropped, but even Garcia still too kind in his wording. WATCH:
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.
We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political. These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of democrats.
It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter [pdf HERE] to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.
The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:
“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.” (LINK)
President Trump spoke on the first day of the ridiculous “hush money” trial in New York.
Every reasonable legal pundit has pointed out the stupidity of this case. A documented serial liar (Cohen), a sex worker who has denied in writing (twice) the events described, the non-illegal nature of a state election case created under the auspices of “honest services fraud,” a prosecution which has been reversed and removed by the Supreme Court in political cases (VA Gov Bob McDonnell), all of it is pure nonsense. Yet the lawfare continues.
President Trump spoke to the media as the case starts. WATCH:

House Speaker Mike Johnson appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss recent events with Iran increasing their open military engagement against Israel. Additionally, Johnson discusses his recent conversation with President Trump and some of the details of the approach toward Israel, Ukraine and other geopolitical events.
Speaker Johnson is correct in that if the House GOP fractures and gives control of the House of Representatives to the democrats, the primary purpose of the dems will be to eliminate Trump. Keep in mind the Supreme Court reinstated President Trump on the ballots of several states by ruling that only congress could remove a candidate from a federal ballot. If democrats take control of the House, they will create legislation to do exactly that.
The topic of the FISA-702 renewal happens at the 08:00 point. On this issue, the example cited of the warrant needed is the same as would be needed if two Americans are discussing the same. Johnson is buying the strawman arguments from the IC, which is exactly what I previously explained. WATCH:
In a moment of serendipitous timing for Zelenskyy, Iran fired approximately 300 drone missiles toward Israel. Now Congress is promoting further funding for Israel and Ukraine. Serendipitous serendipity strikes again.
Keep in mind, the flight time over the 1,000-mile distance provided plenty of time for Israel to prepare and respond with countermeasures, making a suspicious type of person wonder why Iran would even go through the exercise.
“Given the events of tonight, it is even clearer that the best way to help Israel is for the House to quickly pass the Senate’s bipartisan national security supplemental next week,” Chuck Schumer said. The House has so far declined to take a vote on the Senate-passed legislation with many House conservatives opposed to sending additional Ukraine and wanted stricter border policies included in an aid package. (LINK) Huh, funny that.
As if on cue…
“The House Republicans and the Republican Party understand the necessity of standing with Israel. We’re going to try again this week, and the details of that package are being put together right now. We’re looking at the options and all these supplemental issues,” Speaker Mike Johnson said on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures. (LINK) Wow, what a remarkable coincidence. Amazing.
More than anything else, I always appreciate the way Nic Robertson provides the dramatic approach toward the needs and requests of the U.S. Dept of State and CIA. He’s really good at this. WATCH:
