Former President Donald Trump got to command a stage all to himself at a prime time Fox News town hall in Iowa, where he was cheered by Iowa supporters but was still forced to state flat out that he was not 'going to be a dictator.' Trump made the comment when co-host Bret Baier asked him about his recent that there would be 'bedlam' in the country if his criminal prosecutions continue. That brought a long explanation from Trump about his comments to fellow Fox host Sean Hannity. Trump had told Hannity he woudl be a 'dictator for one day,' in comments that drew backlash.

MAGA!!

Michelle Obama and the other Socialists are worried that he will treat them like Biden has treated Republicans who support Pres. Trump. Maybe he should release all political prisoners and replace them with Communist Democrats who have lied about him all these years.

The people who are asking if PRESIDENT Trump will go after those that are accusing him of "insurrection, lying about his taxes, bank loans, etc., saying its reciprocation, must know that all the accusations are lies. Why would the even care if they were not lying. Must be worried that PRESIDENT Trump will tell the truth!

I could not survive as President. Make a joke and everybody hypes the joke as if it were absolute truth spoken from on high. Trump loves to poke the bear. The bear has been trying to destroy Trump since he ran in 16 and won. More BS and lies have been spread about this man than would fill a library.

President Trump will need some loyal hatchet-men to go into each department and chop out all the deadwood. And shutdown various unnecessary departments completely. After all, we're broke! Shouldn't take more than 3 months. Just ignore the congressional screaming and tell 'em to stay in their lane.

Trump should announce all inauguration activity will be held in Florida, so his voters won’t have to risk assault and arrest in D.C. Even the swearing in.

Biden won't be the Democrat final nominee. The Deep State will either force him to retire or kill him. Right now he serves as a focus for all the anxiety and worry of the left. They can blame everything on him. Once he's suddenly replaced by Barry Obama's husband, there will be relief, jubilation, and renewed enthusiasm among Democrats.

The only people calling Trump a dictator are biased critics that will never accept him and don't want anyone else to accept him. If anything, this is a prelude to refuse to acknowledge Trump as President and use that at a basis to ignore anything he does. Our enemies would love to claim our government is illegitimate.

He can't be any worse than Biden's mandate to buy EVs. What about Bidin's giving out exemptions for student loan payments? SCOTUS said he couldn't do that but he has ignored that decision. Is that considered dictatorship? The third leg of government, SCOTUS, was put into place to prevent such activity.

Reporters asked Joe Biden about escalations with Iran, the border crisis and Ukraine.

White House staff had to be 'relocated' after thousands of pro Palestine supporters descended on the building, threatening to breach the security fence and lobbing over bloodied dolls as part of a huge demonstration demanding a ceasefire on Gaza. Law enforcement defending the People's House donned riot gear as a baying mob pelted them with dolls and other projectiles. Video taken at the event on Saturday shows how the metal perimeter was shaken so hard that portions of it were shunted back, forcing secret service operatives to rush to one part to prevent a breach.

Ron DeSantis is gambling much of his campaign on a strong showing in Iowa while Nikki Haley is seeing her headline numbers grow. But pollsters and analysts say neither of them can take comfort from the final survey before Republicans in Iowa pick their preferred candidate on Monday. Once again, the real winner on Saturday night was former President Donald Trump, who maintains his iron grip on the nomination race despite slipping three points in the NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. So even though Haley overtook DeSantis to take second place with 20 percent of the base, her favorability and enthusiasm numbers put her on 'shaky ground' according to Anne Selzer,

Little Kfir Bibas is still believed to be among more than 130 hostages who continue to be held in Hamas underground tunnels in the warzone. Today marks 100 days since Hamas terrorists stormed over the border and launched a terror attack that killed 1,200 Israelis, sparking a conflict that threatens to erupt into a full-scale regional war.

At 7pm Central Time (8pm Eastern) they will gather at churches, high schools, gyms and golf courses to write their preferred candidate's name on a blank piece of paper in a tradition dating back to 1972.

In January 2017, Haley went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations (UN) in then-President Donald Trump’s administration. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), in a written question, asked Haley about so-called “climate refugees,” as Democrats claim that mass immigration to the U.S. and other countries is partially due to global warming’s destroying crops, conditions, and communities in certain regions of the world.

On Thursday, an electric bus caught on fire on Wimbledon Hill Road in London. While no injuries were reported and investigations into the cause of the fire are still ongoing, the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan — a chief proponent of the green agenda in Britain — announced the suspension of the same model of electric busses from the route.

In a rare move, Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is receiving praise from Republicans after criticizing his own party’s stance on several issues. Fetterman has slammed the Democratic Party’s progressive “Squad” who refuse to condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. He questioned why the United States hasn’t yet destroyed Hamas, adding that every terrorist killed is "one more step" toward peace. The Democrat has stood by his pro-Israel stance, angering members of his party who believe more should be done to help Gaza despite Hamas raping and heinously killing innocent Israelis.

No-show bus rides, fatigue, and illnesses are making it hard for some migrants housed in Floyd Bennett Field tents to send their children to school, parents told The Post. During school hours this week, The Post observed at least 15 children skipping class outside the city’s controversial mega-tent shelter in southeast Brooklyn, where roughly 1,900 migrants are housed. Despite the city forking over $625,000 this year for buses to take students from the isolated national park to a subway stop, parents blamed missing shuttles for their kids losing out on class time.

If you thought that Joe Biden is a prolific pusher of malarkey, it seems that his wife, Jill, wants to challenge him for the crown. She would have to go a ways, but she's making a big effort with a comment that she made to the audience on the "Morning Joe" show. We already reported on her interview with Mika Brezinski which was just a horrible effort to sell Joe Biden for his re-election. But that isn't going over very well. It just makes it more apparent how desperate Biden's situation is in terms of the polls when she has to make such an effort.

Americans are divided on how the U.S. Supreme Court should handle former President Donald Trump’s ballot access, but a majority in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll say they would support the court either barring Trump from presidential ballots nationally or letting states take that step individually. The national poll finds a close division on state-level rulings barring Trump from the ballot in Colorado and Maine, 49-46%, support-oppose. On next steps, 56% are willing to see him disqualified in all or some states, including 30% who say the high court should bar him in all states and 26% who say it should let each state decide.
