'This Case Has Been Closed!' Karoline Leavitt Says the Trump White House is Done With Signalgate

‘This Case Has Been Closed!’ Karoline Leavitt Says the Trump White House is Done With Signalgate

...Since last week, the White House has had to answer for what was widely recognized at one of the more bizarre lapses in national security in recent memory. Prior to the U.S.’s attack on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, several members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet — including National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — discussed attack plans on the messaging app Signal. The public only knows about that chat because Waltz somehow accidentally invited The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg.

Trump's Tariffs Motivated South Korea, China and Japan To Unite With A Free Trade Agreement

South Korea, China and Japan held their first economic dialogue in five years on Sunday, seeking to facilitate regional trade as the three Asian export powers brace from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The countries' three trade ministers agreed to "closely cooperate for a comprehensive and high-level" talks on a South Korea-Japan-China free trade agreement deal to promote "regional and global trade", according to a statement released after the meeting.

Trump's Deflections Are So Obvious

Ana Navarro said on Monday on ABC’s The View that President Donald Trump made comments to NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday about potentially seeking a third White House term to distract the media.

Navarro described Trump as the “distractor-in-chief” and said she immediately concluded the comments were intended to deflect attention away from members of his administration discussing sensitive attack plans on Yemen on the Signal app.

Whatever the Details of His Tariffs Are, One Thing For Sure Is, We'll Be Shocked, Stunned, Dismayed...

On Monday afternoon, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump would announce the details of his tariffs Wednesday in a Rose Garden event before his cabinet.

She deferred repeatedly when asked about the president's plans but added that trading partners like the European Union, Japan, India, and Canada have shown "disdain for the American worker" and said that there would be "no exemptions at this time" for groups like farmers. She also downplayed recent stock market declines.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.

It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth. - Mark Jacob

These People Can't Even Spell Protocol.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s photo op in an El Salvadoran prison drew swift backlash online, but some observers are pointing out that it may have also violated the Geneva Convention.

A short video Noem posted on social media drew a cascade of critical responses, commenting on not just the chilling visual of the prisoners crowded in the cell behind her, heads shaved and shirtless, but the jarring contrast with her perfectly coifed hair, makeup, and what appeared to be a Rolex Daytona watch, which currently retails for nearly $50,000.

My Sources are telling me that Donald Trump is furious the Signal chat story won’t die, growing bigger with a judge’s order to preserve White House messages on military strikes. He’s reportedly screaming for the judge’s impeachment, demanding he be removed and he’s  trying to change the news cycle. - Lev Parnas

Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party in Wisconsin, said it’s illegal for Elon Musk to cut $1 million paychecks for voters who support Brad Schimel, a Republican candidate for the state’s Supreme Court. 

“Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel,” Wikler said in a Friday statement. 

The European Union is reportedly considering retaliating against Trump's escalating trade war, by focusing on U.S. services exports. 

Potential targets include major American tech firms such as Amazon Web Services, Netflix, Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Meta. These actions could restrict their access to EU markets and curb IP.

Such a move could have significant economic repercussions, potentially leading to substantial job losses and disruptions across the U.S. economy. - Ed Krassenstein
