Trump campaign rakes in stunning $25M in single day for re-election launch

As the 2020 Presidential election approaches, President Trump launched his re-election bid in Orlando, Florida, on June 18, 2019.

(Pictured) President Donald Trump speaks during his rally where he announced his candidacy for a second presidential term.

President Trump's campaign operation raised a whopping $24.8 million in less than 24 hours amid his 2020 re-election launch in Florida on Tuesday — a figure that blows past what any of the Democratic candidates raised in the entire first quarter.

But these Dems are ahead of Trump in the polls... even Butt-igieg???

“@realDonaldTrump has raised a record-breaking $24.8M in less than 24 hours for his re-election. The enthusiasm across the country for this President is unmatched and unlike anything we’ve ever seen! #trump2020 #KeepAmericaGreat,” Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tweeted early Wednesday.

The president tweeted "THANK YOU!" in response.

TRUMP LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN MACHINE WITH MASSIVE WAR CHEST, DESPITE POLLING LAG

According to an RNC spokesman, the fundraising - at a clip of $1 million an hour - came through the Trump re-election campaign and joint-fundraising committees Trump Victory and Trump MAGAC (Make America Great Again Committee).

Minutes later, RNC Communications Director Michael Ahrens tweeted: “For those keeping score, that’s more than the 5 highest polling Democrats — combined.”

Ahrens was referring to the top five polling Democratic candidates' fundraising during the 24 hours after they announced their presidential bids. Among them, former Vice President Joe Biden raked in $6.3 million and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., brought in $5.9 million, with the others raising significantly less than that.

But none of the candidates hit $20 million even in the first quarter.

Sanders brought in $18.2 million in the first 41 days of his campaign; Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., brought in $12 million during the first three months of this year; former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas raised $9.4 million; and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg raised $7.1 million.

Democratic presidential primary front-runner Biden, who announced after the first quarter, hinted this week at raising roughly $20 million so far, as he tours the fundraising circuit with a series of top-dollar events.

But the Trump campaign re-launch surpassed that in 24 hours, counting various fundraising committees, coinciding with his energetic rally in Orlando to a packed arena crowd.

The fundraising numbers underscore what has, since before the Democratic candidates even started campaigning, been a huge cash advantage for the incumbent. Going into Trump’s rally on Tuesday, the re-election campaign had $40.8 million in cash-on-hand at the start of second-quarter fundraising on April 1. Combined with the RNC’s joint fundraising committees, they have a combined $82 million cash-on-hand for the second quarter.

But despite Trump's massive war chest, the latest Fox News Poll shows Biden topping the president by 10 points and Sanders ahead of the president by 9 points.

(Sorry FOX...I don't believe it)

But Trump's campaign and the president himself have dismissed recent polling.

"Our country is soaring to incredible new heights," Trump said Tuesday night, to loud applause. "Our economy is the envy of the world, perhaps the greatest economy we've had in the history of our country, and as long as you keep this team in place - we have a tremendous way to go - our future has never, ever looked brighter or sharper."

Trump continued: "The fact is, the American Dream is back. It's bigger, and better, and stronger than ever before."

CNN cuts away from Trump kickoff rally after crowd chants 'CNN sucks'

On a tip from Ed Kilbane

Shortly after President Trump began his Tuesday campaign kickoff rally in Orlando, the audience began chanting "CNN sucks."

The network had been airing the rally until the chant, at which point they cut away.

"This was a defining moment in America history," Trump said referring to his 2015 campaign announcement. "Ask them right there," pointing to the media in the back.

The crowd then began chanting "CNN sucks."

"All right. We’ve been watching the president kick off his reelection bid. He’s been on stage for about six minutes. Within two minutes he did talk about the economy, within four minutes it was attacks on the media," CNN's John Berman said.

MSNBC did not air the speech at all.

(The free press at work)

A chant of "CNN Sucks" breaks out at Trump re-election rally. Calls the media covering him #FakeNewsMedia. REMINDER: This is the @POTUS attacking the free press.

— Kathleen Bade (@KathleenFOX5) June 19, 2019

Yeah, Kathleen, it's the free press alright...100% bias free press.

PS:

Don't forget what CNN did to the Covington kids. They are the enemy of the right and deserve to be called out for what they are... a bias POS shit network with this guy the lead turd.

Take what Trump has done thus far in his presidency and Barry at the same juncture. Now switch the results. The MSM would be enraptured over Barry's accomplishments. Hailing him as the true 'Messiah'... only this time it would be legit.

New Jersey man becomes latest American tourist to die at a Dominican Republic resort

This has been going on for a while now. Heard on FOX all the toxicology machines are broke which is about as plausible as the simultaneous computer crashes at the IRS. This whole episode is kind of weird... A statement from the Dreams resort said that hotel management has "no evidence that this unfortunate incident was the result of anything other than natural causes."

So in the Dominican Republic drinking from the mini-bar in your room and then dying is deemed 'natural causes'? Makes me glad I bring my own.

--------------------------------------

An Avenel, New Jersey, man died last week while staying at a resort in the Dominican Republic, becoming at least the ninth other American tourists to die under mysterious circumstances while visiting the small Caribbean country. Joseph Allen, 55, was found dead in his room Thursday at the Terra Linda Resort in Sosua, where he was celebrating a friend's birthday, his family confirmed to NBC News. 

Allen's sister-in-law said that the family was scrambling for answers. A representative for the Terra Linda Resort was not immediately available for comment to NBC News.

A number of other families reported stories of their relatives mysteriously dying while staying at resorts in the Dominican Republic. Leyla Cox, 53, an MRI technician from Staten Island, was staying at the Excellence resort in Punta Cana when she died on June 11, just a day after her birthday, according to her son. 

Will Cox said he still does not know his mother's cause of death and has not had the chance to mourn properly as her remains still haven't been returned home. He also told NBC News that a representative for the U.S. Embassy said a toxicology test would not be conducted on his mother's body due to broken machines.

Robert Bell Wallace, 67, died while staying at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana on April 12. 

Wallace's family asked for privacy and has not confirmed the circumstances of his death to NBC News.

In May, Miranda Schaup-Werner and a couple, Nathaniel Edward Holmes and Cynthia Ann Day, died over a five-day period at the Bahia Principe resort in La Romana.

Holmes and Day were found dead in their room at the Grand Bahia Principe La Romana. Pulmonary edema — excess fluid in the lungs — was listed among the causes of death for the couple in preliminary reports. 

The FBI, which is investigating the three May deaths, said further toxicology results on the Americans could take up to 30 days. Jerry Curran, 78, checked into the Dreams resort in Punta Cana on Jan. 22, and died three days later, his daughter, Kellie Brown, told NBC affiliate WKYC in Ohio. 

The State Department confirmed Friday that an American died in the Dominican Republic in January. "He went to the Dominican Republic healthy and he just never came back," Brown said.

Authorities told the family that one of Curran's causes of death was pulmonary edema, "which seems to be common in everyone else who's passed that we're learning about," Brown said.

A statement from the Dreams resort said that hotel management has "no evidence that this unfortunate incident was the result of anything other than natural causes."

At least two other Americans, Yvette Monique Sport and David Harrison, died at resorts in the Dominican Republic in 2018.U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic Robin Bernstein said in a statement that the safety of U.S. citizens "remains our highest priority." "These incidents are tragic and we offer our deepest condolences to those personally impacted," Bernstein said.

O.J. Simpson's joins Twitter... debut already has 600,000 followers

Bet the vast majority of the more than 600,000 followers are liberals. The only conservatives are lying in wait for him to Tweet something so they could rip him a new one.

Ever wonder how many cops are still working the cold case file looking for the 'real killer'?

He fooled most...but he ain't gonna fool the big guy.

Ron Goldman's sister on O.J. Simpson's Twitter debut: Maybe podcast release 'pushed him over the edge'

Host of the 'Confronting: O.J. Simpson' podcast Kim Goldman says she blames the jury, not the prosecution, for the not guilty verdict.

On the 25th anniversary of the infamous white Bronco chase, Ron Goldman's sister revealed Monday that she "100 percent" blames the jury for failing to convict O.J. Simpson for the murders of her brother and Nicole Brown Simpson.

Kim Goldman appeared on "Fox & Friends" to reflect on watching a suicidal O.J. Simpson being driven down a Los Angeles interstate by his best friend and former teammate Al Cowlings in June 1994. It was her family's hope that the incident would end peacefully so that the football legend could go to trial and they could "find out what the truth was" about her brother's death.

On her podcast, "Confronting: O.J. Simpson,' Goldman discusses the trial with several former jurors, who she blames for the outcome of the trial.

"They were the decision makers," she said. "And if you listen to the podcast two of the jurors tell me that we were never going to get a conviction. They believe in the conspiracy."

Goldman reflected on the day she found out her brother had been murdered while she was attending college in San Francisco. She watched the story unfold on the news before her father was notified of Ron's death by the local coroner.

"I didn't realize that I had watched the news earlier in the day and watched my brother being wheeled out of the crime scene," she said.

Simpson raised eyebrows over the weekend when he created a Twitter account two days after the 25th anniversary of the murders.

O.J. SIMPSON SAYS HE WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO 'SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT'

He announced his presence on the platform by posting a grinning video in which he discussed the fact that many have been able to say whatever they've wanted about him for years, but he now has "got a little getting even to do." In a matter of days, he's accumulated more than 600,000 followers.

Kim Goldman told "Fox & Friends" hosts that she wonders if the announcement of her podcast triggered O.J., just as the release of the book "If I Did It" did in 2007. She recalled that the day the book was originally published, Simpson committed armed robbery in Las Vegas for which he spent nine years in jail.

"I find it kind of disgraceful that on the observation of Ron and Nicole's death that's the day he chooses to go online and say he is going to get even," she said.

OJ also Tweeted a video "Happy Father's Day".

I'm sure Fred Goldman feels better now.

Biden claims there were no scandals during his occupation of the WH

"Know what I was most proud of?" presidential candidate Joe Biden told a crowd on Wednesday. "For eight years, there wasn't one single hint of a scandal or a lie."

How in the f--k could he say that with a straight face?

What are Benghazi, F&F, the IRS scandal, Solyndra, Rosengate, Holder's perjury, Barry using Executive Privilege to cover it up, the Iran nuke deal...  National Holidays?

-------------------------------

In an era where every presidential tweet is an existential threat to democracy, there are probably plenty of people who believe this myth. Off the bat, though, it should be mentioned that even liberal fact-checking outfit PolitiFact once awarded Barack Obama the "Lie of Year" for misleading the American people about his technocratic health care plan.

Obama's most famous lie, of course, upturned millions of lives. Without it, it's doubtful Obamacare -- which was perhaps the only wholly partisan national reform effort in American history -- would ever have passed. Even with a stream of falsehoods, the bill had to be shoehorned through Congress. Media did a lot of heavy lifting for the administration in those heady days.

This is how it works:

(Can't believe the asshole was dumb enough to admit it on national television!)

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it" was only one of an array of demonstrably false statements fed to the public. You might remember one of Obamacare's architects, Jonathan Gruber, explaining how this "lack of transparency" compounded by "the stupidity of the American voter" was a huge political advantage for the administration. Or maybe you don't.

How many Americans knew, for instance, that "Operation Fast and Furious" put around 2,000 weapons into the hands of narco-traffickers (and an Islamic terrorist), leading to the murder of hundreds of Mexican citizens, and at least one American, a border agent named Brian Terry? Not enough.

There must have been at least a sniff of scandal, by the way, because even after a federal judge rejected Obama's assertion of executive privilege in efforts to deny Congress files relating to the operation, the administration wouldn't budge. Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, refused to cooperate, becoming the first sitting attorney general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress -- a vote that included 17 Democrats.

It's odd because today asserting executive privilege is exactly like Watergate. And ignoring courts? Well, Obama did that all the time.

Then again, Obama could secretly send planes filled with cash to pay ransom to an Islamist terror state responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American servicemen (using money that had been earmarked for terror victims), and most reporters still regurgitated echo-chamber talking points. You remember Ben Rhodes bragging about how the Obama administration could trick 27-years-olds whose "only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns" because they "literally know nothing"?

Politico's Josh Meyer, who did know something, would write a deeply sourced piece -- featuring numerous real-life, on-the-record administration officials -- about the Obama administration's efforts to undermine investigations into a drug-trafficking ring run by Hezbollah operating in the United States, and most major news organizations never even mentioned it.

Today, President Trump's Twitter attacks on CNN reporters are threats to the future of free expression. Back in 2012, the Obama's Department of Justice spied on the Associated Press, tapping around 20 different phone lines -- including cell phone and home lines -- that captured at least 100 staffers who worked for the outlet. The government kept records of all outgoing calls "for both the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters" and the main line used by reporters in the House of Representatives.

The Justice Department had already spied on Fox News' James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, looking at his personal emails and tracking his movements. Holder, by the way, shopped the case to three separate judges, until he found one who let him name Rosen a co-conspirator in the crime of reporting the news. 

There is, of course, so much more. Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw an operation of illegal spying on a staffer of the legislative branch. At least five agency officials under his watch broke into Senate computer files. Brennan would attempt to cover up the agency's actions by doubling down, blaming the Senate, and pushing to fire at least one staffer charged with investigating his agency.

Biden might not remember, but the Internal Revenue Service leadership aggressively targeted conservative groups to undermine their voice in elections. The IRS admitted as much in an apology letter. Then there was Obama national security advisor Susan Rice, who went on national television and claimed that terrorist attacks against Americans at Benghazi were a "spontaneous reaction" to "hateful and offensive video," even when she knew it was a sophisticated and pre-planned terror attack. Defenders of free expression were nowhere to be found when the maker of the video was conveniently thrown into jail.

There were cronyistic green projects that enriched political allies, the Secret Service's many embarrassing breaches and general debauchery, Hillary Clinton's infamous attempts to circumvent transparency -- more than likely to cover up favor-trading, and more seriously, Veterans Affairs negligence.

Then again, perhaps Biden feels "most proud" of his mythical eight years of non-scandals because it's about the only thing in his political past he isn't going to be forced to abandon.
