However, a video surfaced showing the hotel continuing to refuse rooms to DHS agents. As a result, Hilton announced it was removing the franchise from its system due to the hotel’s failure to meet its standards.

During a speech to House Republicans, Donald Trump raised concerns about the possibility of canceling future U.S. elections, although he quickly retracted the statement claiming he was only criticizing Democrats. This is not the first time Trump has flirted with such an idea, previously suggesting delays to the 2020 election and appearing to support the idea of suspending elections under martial law in Ukraine. Despite having no legal authority to do so, Trump continues to voice these ideas while also repeating false claims about the 2020 election being “rigged.”

Despite the Trump administration’s celebration of the successful capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, international entities like the United Nations have voiced concerns, citing potential repercussions for global safety. Domestically, these actions have triggered calls for President Trump’s impeachment, with Democratic lawmakers and figures like California State Senator Scott Wiener denouncing the operation as illegal. Rep. Delia C. Ramirez of Illinois and others echoed these sentiments, labeling the operation a “kidnapping” and a violation of international law. Some, like Rep. Dan Goldman, allege the operation’s true motive involves controlling Venezuela’s oil resources, while the White House defends the operation as lawful.

Right-wing media figures like Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones, typically isolationist in their views, have found themselves at odds with their audiences regarding Trump’s potential military actions in Venezuela.

During a CNN interview, White House advisor Stephen Miller articulated the Trump administration’s stance on foreign policy, asserting the United States’ right to take control of other nations for its interests, particularly concerning resources. Miller’s comments, which included the view that sovereign countries do not have sovereignty if the US wants their resources, were described as “imperialistic” by Senator Bernie Sanders. The administration has set its sights on Venezuela’s oil reserves and Greenland’s untapped resources, even though Greenland is part of Denmark, a NATO ally. Danish and Greenlandic officials have strongly condemned Trump’s threats, with the Danish Prime Minister warning that an attack on another NATO country would end the alliance.

Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland.
It’s clear, isn’t it? The assertion that the United States has the right to take Greenland is more than just a passing remark; it’s a chilling echo of historical ideologies and a stark warning about the current direction of certain political figures. The very idea, seemingly championed by individuals like Stephen Miller, evokes a world governed by brute force and the unyielding pursuit of power, echoing sentiments reminiscent of dark chapters in history. It brings up the same scenarios as if someone occupied Puerto Rico. Occupying Puerto Rico or Greenland is an act of war.… Continue reading
Trump to House Republicans: If we don’t win midterms, I will get impeached. Well, that’s quite the statement, isn’t it? It seems the former president is directly acknowledging a potential consequence of losing the midterms: impeachment. And let’s be frank, it’s not exactly a revelation. He’s already been impeached twice, so the idea of a third time shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. The sentiment among many seems to be a resounding, “So what?” considering the Senate didn’t convict either time.
Now, let’s dissect the implications of this. Trump’s fear of impeachment is likely a motivator, a tactic to rally his base and get them out to vote.… Continue reading
California Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa passed away at the age of 65, reducing the House GOP majority. LaMalfa served on multiple committees and was previously in the California state assembly and senate. His death further tightens Speaker Mike Johnson’s already slim majority, as the House can only afford to lose two votes on party-line bills. A special election will be held to fill LaMalfa’s seat in a district that favored Trump in the 2024 election.

Following the January 6th Capitol attack, initial expectations of accountability for Donald Trump and his allies were quickly dashed. Despite investigations and early distancing from Trump by some Republicans, Trump pardoned nearly 1,600 individuals involved and has avoided legal and political consequences. The failure of prosecutions, attributed to delays and the political landscape, allowed Trump to win re-election and reshape the federal legal system. This lack of accountability stands in stark contrast to how other countries have handled similar events, like the aftermath of the storming of government buildings in Brazil.
