Hillary Clinton Predicts Trump will run in 2024 which “could lead to the end of our democracy”

The former Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton not only predicted a second Trump run, but also a potential win by the former president which, according to Mrs. Clinton, “could lead to the end of our democracy.”

I must say I agree…

Clinton — who lost the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 to then-Senator Barack Obama of Illinois before becoming the party’s nominee in 2016 — was defeated by Trump in what was seen as one of the biggest political upsets in modern political history.

“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” she told Sunday Today host, Willie Geist. “He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, he gets to do it again.”

“I think that could be the end of our democracy,” she said. “Not to be too pointed about it, but I want people to understand that this could be a make-or-break point. If he or someone of his ilk were once again to be elected president, especially if he had a Congress that would do his bidding, you will not recognize our country.”

Nick Cannon Reveals Death of his 5-Month-Old Son

During his Nick Cannon Show on Tuesday, Nick Cannon told the audience of the recent death of his five-month-old son, Zen.

The Masked Singer host revealed in an episode of his talk show, The Nick Cannon Show, on December 7, 2021, that his son Zen—whom he shares with model Alyssa Scott—died from brain cancer. “I got so much to talk about,” he said at the start of the episode. “I haven’t even shared this with anybody. Not even the crew. Just because there is so much going on in the world. I had a tough, very tough weekend.”

Nick—welcomed Zen in June 2021—shared a photo of Zen for his “Pic of the Day” before he broke down in tears over his son’s death. “Before the show started, in the summertime, Zen was born in June, June 23 actually,” he said. “It was a great day, y’all know I got a lot of kids. Zen is my youngest. It was so exciting.” Nick—who revealed that he held his son for the last time on December 5, 2021—called the episode of his talk show a “celebration of life” for his late child. “You can’t heal until you feel,” he said. He continued, “I didn’t know how I was going to handle today. But I wanted to grieve with my family.”

CNN Fires Chris Cuomo

It was just a matter of time. After his recent indefinite suspension from the network, Chris Cuomo, former host of CNN’s Primetime, is now officially out of a job after the company conducted an internal investigation into Cuomo’s part in drafting public responses to his brother’s multiple sexual misconduct accusations.

“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother’s defense,” CNN said in a statement on Saturday. “We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately. While in the process of that review, additional information has come to light. Despite the termination, we will investigate as appropriate.”

The announcement completed a stunning downfall for Chris Cuomo, the top-rated anchor at CNN and a veteran television journalist who had built a successful broadcast career outside of his famed political family. Until last month, Mr. Cuomo, the host of the 9 p.m. program “Cuomo Prime Time,” had enjoyed the support of CNN’s president, Jeff Zucker, and he faced no discipline for his behind-the-scenes strategizing with Andrew Cuomo’s political aides, a breach of basic journalistic norms.

Texas Deputy Attorney General Apologizes for Calling Simone Biles a “National Embarrassment”

CBS News is reporting that Texas Deputy Attorney General Aaron Reitz is apologizing to Simone Biles for calling the Olympic champion a “national embarrassment,” CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV reports.

The superstar gymnast, who lives in Spring, just north of Houston, has pulled out of two competitions in the Tokyo Games, saying she needs to focus on her mental health. It’s still not clear if she’ll participate in next week’s individual events.

In a now-deleted tweet, Reitz quote-tweeted video from Kerri Strug’s 1996 Olympic performance on an injured ankle then said, “Contrast this with our selfish, childish national embarrassment, Simone Biles.”

Late Wednesday afternoon, Reitz tweeted again about Biles. But this time, he did an abrupt about-face, saying he owed her “an apology. A big one”:

DOJ Will Not Offer a Defense for Republican Rep. Mo Brooks

In other words, being a Representative does not give you the right to lie to angry Trump supporters, and in so doing, incite a riot at the U.S Capitol. Apparently Brooks thought otherwise.

The Justice Department rejected a request by Alabama Republican Rep. Mo Brooks for legal protection in court against a lawsuit linking him to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Brooks, former President Donald Trump, and others were sued by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) earlier this year. Swalwell alleges that Brooks and others named in the lawsuit helped incite the mob of Trump supporters on Jan. 6 during a pro-Trump rally.

The group later charged the U.S. Capitol building. Five people died that day.

The Justice Department says Brooks was engaged in campaign activity when he participated in the rally. That is not within the scope of his duties as a member of Congress, so he doesn’t qualify for legal immunity for his actions, the department said.

“The Department has declined to issue a certification because it cannot conclude that Brooks was acting within the scope of his office or employment as a Member of Congress at the time of the incident out of which the claims in this case arose,” the Justice Department explained in a court filing.

Bill Cosby To Be Released from Jail

The AP is reporting that Pennsylvania’s highest court overturned Bill Cosby’s sex assault conviction Wednesday after finding an agreement with a previous prosecutor prevented him from being charged in the case.

Cosby has served more than two years of a three- to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia. He had vowed to serve all 10 years rather than acknowledge any remorse over the 2004 encounter with accuser Andrea Constand.

He was charged in late 2015, when a prosecutor armed with newly unsealed evidence — Cosby’s damaging deposition from her lawsuit — arrested him days before the 12-year statute of limitations expired.

The court said that District Attorney Kevin Steele, who made the decision to arrest Cosby, was obligated to stand by his predecessor’s promise not to charge Cosby when he later gave potentially incriminating testimony in Constand’s civil suit. There was no evidence that promise was ever put in writing.

Next Federal Holiday – Juneteenth

Another step forward for the United States.

The United States will soon have a new federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery.

The House voted 415-14 Wednesday to make Juneteenth, or June 19th, the 12th federal holiday. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden’s desk, and he is expected to sign it into law.

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas — two months after the Confederacy had surrendered. That was also about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Southern states.

It’s the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created in 1983.

“Our federal holidays are purposely few in number and recognize the most important milestones,” said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y. “I cannot think of a more important milestone to commemorate than the end of slavery in the United States.”

Trump Says He’ll Be Reinstated By August

When you have people who are easily fooled and willing to be mislead, then why stop? Give the people what they want. Donald Trump realizes the nature of the sheep he leads so he has gone past pushing the Big Lie. He is now pushing August of this year as the time he’ll be reinstated into the White House.

After former President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn appeared to express support for a coup in the United States, The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman reports Trump himself has been baselessly asserting he will be back in the White House this year.

Haberman tweeted on Tuesday, in response to reporting about Flynn’s comments about a coup in the United States, that Trump “has been telling a number of people he’s in contact with that he expects he will get reinstated by August” — confirming in a subsequent tweet she means reinstated as president.

“No that isn’t how it works,” Haberman added, “but simply sharing the information.”

The reporting comes after Flynn at a QAnon conference over the weekend was asked why there can’t be a coup in the United States like in Myanmar, and he said, “No reason, I mean, it should happen.” He later claimed he was misquoted and said there is “NO reason whatsoever for any coup in America, and I do not and have not at any time called for any action of that sort.”

Liz Cheney Out as Leader in House Republican

Well that was quick. Donald Trump must be smiling ear to ear. He is no longer in office, but his lies are still costing people their jobs and roles in office. Donald Trump is the anvil around the neck of the Republican party, and they have just proven that they are more concerned about upholding his lies, than defending the truth.

Although there are absolutely no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Trump has spread his lies and spineless Republicans fell in line, even stumbled over themselves to propagate Trump’s lies to the best of their ability.

Liz Cheney was different. She stood up and spoke the truth about that happened in the 2020 elections and the Trump inspired insurrection that happened on January 6th, and for that, Republicans have kicked her out of her leadership role in Congress. And they did it in almost record time.

It took the fractured GOP Conference fewer than 20 minutes to remove Cheney from her role as the No. 3 House Republican, including time spent on prayer and the pledge of allegiance.

House Republicans made the decision to remove her by voice vote rather than a full tally, which means it is not yet clear the exact degree of support for her ouster. Cheney was steadfast exiting the closed meeting where her colleagues voted her out of leadership, maintaining her stance on Trump’s lies. 

“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” she told reporters. She said Wednesday’s vote is a clear indication of the path that the GOP is on as a party, tethered to Trump, and sent a warning to Republicans “we cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.”
