Trump took the stage in Michigan to talk to autoworkers. Advertisement On Wednesday, the former president spoke at Drake Enterprises in Clinton Township to thank autoworkers for helping build this country. The Republican promised that he will defend the working class from the ‘corrupt political class.’ Trump pointed out that President Biden recently came to Michigan to pose for photos with UAW members, even though it’s his policies that are sending workers to unemployment lines. “He only came after I announced that I would be here. You know, he announced quite a bit later. Spoke for a few seconds, did you notice? He spoke for what? A few seconds? And he had

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has announced he will be issuing subpoenas for bank records of personal and business accounts for Hunter Biden and James Biden.

Comer explained to the press earlier this week that he

A decade has passed since Barack Obama failed to enforce his “red line” against the use of chemical weapons in Syria. But a US president made good on that commitment in the end. Who, upon the election of Donald Trump, thought he would be the one to hit Bashar al-Assad’s air force with cruise missiles on a point of principle?   I ask because governments around the world are trying to anticipate the foreign policies of a second Trump administration. It might be easier to forecast the temperature in London at 3.12pm on April 16 2048. He is, in the end, an egoist, and egoism is an ambiguous force in politics, as liable to pull a state inward (“screw the world”) as to send it violently abroad (“the world must feel our strength”). All predictions of what he will do if elected next year must be laced with doubt. But some things seem probable. Under Trump, the US will reduce the scope or enforcement of sanctions against Russia. It will also slow the traffic of materiel to Ukraine.  This will

Late Friday night, the former president of the United States—and a leading candidate to be the next president—insinuated that America’s top general deserves to be put to death. That extraordinary sentence would be unthinkable in any other rich democracy. But Donald Trump, on his social-media network, Truth Social, wrote that Mark Milley’s phone call to reassure China in the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.” (The phone call was, in fact, explicitly authorized by Trump-administration officials.) Trump’s threats against Milley came after  The Atlantic ’s publication of  a profile of Milley , by this magazine’s editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, who detailed the ways in which Milley attempted to protect the Constitution from Trump. Chuck And yet, none of the nation’s front pages blared “Trump Suggests That Top General Deserves Execution” or “Former President Accuses General of

Donald Trump 1175359445 NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP via Getty Images Donald Trump has been on a prolific Truth Social tear,  calling for the execution  of a top US military general, vowing  revenge on NBC Networks and demanding that Republican leaders take  action against automatic voter registration  to protect him from once again losing the popular vote. All of that was over the weekend. On Monday, the former picked up apace with attacks on New York Attorney General Letitia James. "I have been unfairly sued by the Trump Hating Democrat Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James," he cried on his social media site. James' office has claimed that Trump has represented his worth as being $2.2 billion greater than it really is. Trump called that a "false fact." He then called the judge in the case a "Trump Hater" and cried out for help. "It is very unfair, and I call for help from the highest Courts in New York State, or the Federal System, to interced

Nigerians await the final decision of the supreme court Given the constitutional deadlines for filing an appeal or addition of appeals, TheCable contacted Festus Ogun, a constitutional lawyer, for some clarifications. Ogun explained that even if Atiku still had time, whatever evidence or documents he gets from the US cannot be joined in the appeal pending before the supreme court. “If Atiku files an appeal within 14 days as stipulated in the practice direction of the supreme court 2023, then that appeal has to be decided within 60 days from the day the judgment was delivered. In the calculation of the 60 days, you need not exclude weekends and public holidays,” Ogun said. “Any evidence got by Atiku Abubakar from the court in the US is not relevant to the appeal pending at the supreme court. It is too late, even at the tribunal. Under the first schedule to the electoral act, at the point of filing your petition, you either file or list all the documents you want to rely on at trial. Eve

Tinubu in the presidential villa There have been allegations of discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. It first started with allegations that he did not attend Chicago State University (CSU) as he claimed. Tinubu’s credentials show that he graduated from CSU in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, accounting and management. The dust on the matter was settled when CSU  released a statement confirming  that Tinubu attended and graduated from the institution. It, however, said US federal law prevents the institution from providing “any further information” about Tinubu without his consent or court order. Hence, Atiku approached a US court in the northern district of Illinois seeking an order compelling CSU to release Tinubu’s academic records. Advertisement Atiku and Obi had told the PEPT that Tinubu distorted his age and has conflicting academic and personal records; and that his academic records, if released by CSU, would settle the controversy and aid the trib
