[Update] Trump Did NOT Order Army To Ready Military Police To Deploy To Minneapolis After Democrats Fail To Secure City

Update: Alyssa Farah, White House director of communications, said reports about the deployment were “false.”

“False: off the record – title 10 not under discussion,” said Farah in an email response to the AP, which ignored her request that the statement be “off the record.”

The Department of Defense instructed the Army late on Friday to ready its Military Police Corps to respond to the continued rioting in Minneapolis after Democrat officials at the state and local levels repeatedly failed to secure the city.

“Trump made the request on a phone call from the Oval Office on Thursday night that included [Defense Secretary Mark] Esper, National Security Advisor Robert O’ Brien and several others. The president asked Esper for rapid deployment options if the Minneapolis protests continued to spiral out of control,” The Associated Press reported, citing senior administration sources. “The person said the military units would be deployed under the Insurrection Act of 1807, which was last used in 1992 during the riots in Los Angeles that followed the Rodney King trial.”

The move by the president comes after Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey failed to take the actions needed to quell the violent riots which have endangered countless lives and already caused well into the tens of millions of dollars worth of property damage.

Soldiers at two bases — Fort Bragg in North Carolina and Fort Drum in New York — have been told to be ready to be deployed with the next few hours and soldiers at two other bases — Fort Carson in Colorado and Fort Riley in Kansas— have been told to be ready to deploy within the next 24 hours.

In Minneapolis, residents pleaded for help as the city continued to descend into chaos, with one resident, Ryan Griffin, writing on Twitter, “My neighborhood, burning. Median income $33k. Many have no transit. Our pharmacies, banks, gas stations, restaurants are destroyed. The six closest grocery stores are looted. Our post office is on fire. The nearest gas station is on fire. No response from our city or state.”

ProPublica reporter Alec MacGillis noted that a staffer for Minnesota Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison was apparently “pleading for help in Minneapolis” as the city was overrun by violent rioters.

Washington Post reporter Holly Bailey, who was on the ground in Minneapolis, wrote: “Driving around Minneapolis tonight, it is shocking how few law enforcement you see. Seen cops on bikes patrolling downtown, but no sign of National Guard troops or other police. Strategy seems unchanged from the last few nights. Chaos erupts, with little attempt to stop it.”

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
