Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th inning, the Orioles sent Trumbo to the plate to try and break the deadlock and he did just that, sending a moonshot 380 feet into left-centre field on Monday. After American League (AL) wildcard devastation last season against the Blue Jays, Baltimore began 2017 with a bit of redemption — though it would gladly switch wins — by beating Toronto. Trumbo finished the game two for five with a home run and two RBIs....

Friday filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show Trump and the GOP raised at least $207.5 million in the 19 days after the November 3 election, with donor solicitations utilizing false claims about widespread voter fraud. The RNC’s online contribution platform, WinRed, reported raising $68 million, which it then funneled directly into Trump political action committees and Republican campaign coffers. On January 6, the same day that Trump supporters stormed the U....

Hodges made the comments Wednesday morning to NBC’s Andrea Mitchell following the testimony provided Tuesday by Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, to the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. She made major claims during a surprise hearing, alleging that Trump not only lunged at a Secret Service driver in the presidential limousine but also didn’t care that his supporters were brandishing weapons....

The president spoke at the Republican Party of Florida’s annual Statesman’s Dinner on Saturday night, the Miami Herald reported. During his speech, Trump invited First Lieutenant Clint Lorance and Major Matthew Golsteyn—both recipients of presidential pardons related to war crimes in Afghanistan—to join him on the stage. Trump made headlines last month by pardoning three U.S. soldiers convicted or accused of war crimes, including Lorance and Golsteyn. He did so despite protests from the Pentagon and concerns from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle....

Speaking to a packed crowd, Trump accused Obama of “violating the carbon footprint” by flying to Hawaii and playing golf. “I drive to play a round of golf at a course I own, it doesn’t even cost them anything. He flies to Hawaii, nobody cares. If I drive 20 minutes, it’s like ‘Donald Trump is playing golf today’,” the president said, appearing to mimic the media. “He violates the carbon footprint,” Trump asserted....

Excerpts from Bolton’s book, The Room Where It Happened, were widely reported on Wednesday by multiple media outlets as the Trump administration attempts to block its publication, which is scheduled by Simon & Schuster for June 23. Navarro, director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, commented on the new book during a Thursday interview with Fox News. “He set-up the national security office as an autonomous zone with him literally as the warlord,” Navarro said....

Asked about why Kushner would not tell former President Donald Trump about having thyroid cancer, Navarro told Newsmax, “That thyroid thing, that came out of nowhere.” “I saw the guy every day. There’s no sign that he was in any pain or danger or whatever. I think it’s just sympathy to try to sell his book now,” he said on Thursday night, adding that he believes Kushner’s book to be “fiction....

Relations were thrown into turmoil by Turkey’s invasion of northeastern Syria last month, facilitated by Trump’s abrupt withdrawal of U.S. troops in the region. The move was widely condemned at home and abroad, with the president accused of abandoning America’s Kurdish-led allies, considered terrorists by Ankara. Fighting is still going on in the area, despite Trump’s claim of a “permanent” ceasefire. As such, this is “a particularly inappropriate time” for a visit, according to House Foreign Affairs Chairman Rep....

Trump said Monday that Rounds “just went woke” on the issue, and asked if the senator was “crazy or just stupid.” “The only reason he did this is because he got my endorsement and easily won his state in 2020, so now he thinks he has time, and those are the only ones, the weak, who will break away,” the former president said. “Even though his election will not be coming up for 5 years, I will never endorse this jerk again....

“Isn’t it funny that Meghan McCain, who has always been a bully and basically a lowlife, is now complaining that it was she who was bullied by the Slobs and Radical Left maniacs of ‘The View,’” Trump said in a statement. The former president also took credit for making the late senator’s funeral possible. “At the request of many of her representatives, I made it possible for her father to have the world’s longest funeral, designed and orchestrated by him, even though I was never, to put it mildly, a fan,” Trump said....

Twitter banned Trump following the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Since then, the social media giant has faced criticism from conservatives over the ban, with some accusing it of violating his free speech. Trump’s accusation came as his ban remains in limbo after billionaire Elon Musk purchased the platform. During the interview, Morgan asked Trump about the ban, specifically pointing to the fact that Twitter allows accounts for some authoritarian leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei and several Taliban members—all of whom have faced significant accusations regarding human rights abuses....

Trump and Biden had already agreed to three debates before the general election in November. Trump’s campaign had asked for a fourth debate to be added because some states are expected to begin delivering mail-in ballots before the first debate occurs in September. If a debate could not be added, the Trump campaign asked for the rescheduling of the last debate, currently expected to take place in October. The CPD turned down the request on the grounds that the debate schedule would be “highly publicized....

The campaign announced Saturday that it would be flying banners over 13 beaches across the U.S. during peak times throughout the Fourth of July weekend. “President Trump respects the American flag and is standing up for our nation’s great history,” Tim Murtagh, the campaign’s communication director, said in a statement. “This Independence Day, Team Trump will fly banners across the country to remind Americans that President Trump will always defend the freedom and liberty that we all enjoy....

“Getting defeated in a national election is a blow to the ego of even the most thick-skinned politicians and inevitably engenders personal feelings of bitterness and anger,” wrote the board in an editorial titled Trump’s Disgraceful Endgame. “What America has long expected is that losing candidates swallow those feelings and at least pretend to be gracious.” The board continued: “If Trump’s not capable of it, he should at least stop waging war on the outcome....

While appearing on Fox Business’ Mornings With Maria, Trump was asked by host Maria Bartiromo what his symptoms were like while infected with the novel virus, to which he responded by saying that he is in “good health” and spoke about Regeneron. “Now what happens is you get better, that’s what happens you get better,” Trump said. “Now we have drugs now that we didn’t even know about four months ago, like Regeneron....

The Monday night post, which prominently featured Houston doctor Stella Immanuel who also urged people not to wear masks, was removed by the social media site and others for spreading coronavirus misinformation. “She was very impressive,” Trump told reporters Tuesday when asked why he had tweeted the video. “I don’t know which country she comes from, but she said that she’s had tremendous success with hundreds of patients and I thought her voice was an important voice....

Under the Constitution, if a president is convicted in the Senate, they’re removed from office, which has no bearing on Trump since he’s already left the White House. However, Democrats still have a stake in the game because, without a conviction Trump is free to run for office again, raising concerns that he could challenge Biden, or another Democrat, in 2024. Trump, by way of his attorneys, Bryan Castor and David Schoen, argued in a response to the impeachment article that the Senate can’t bar Trump from holding office in the future....

Nick Adams, who authored the book Retaking America, hit out at the Pixar animated film in a tweet that has sparked anger and debate on social media. “Lightyear is one of the most disgusting and woke movies to ever be created,” Adams tweeted. “They castrated Buzz Lightyear in the name of Marxism.” Adams is one of several conservative figures to criticize the film, which has been banned in several territories for featuring a same-sex kiss....

Joe Walsh, a one-term Illinois representative swept into power in 2010 during the Tea Party wave, will give supporters a Sharpie marker with the words “DON’T LIE” imprinted on the side for donating $25 or more in his bid to unseat Trump. “Since the guy in the White House is a pathological liar, we customized his favorite marker to give him some advice: ‘DON’T LIE,’” Walsh wrote on Twitter. “Chip in $25 or more, and we’ll send you your very own ‘DON’T LIE’ sharpie....

A Snapchat spokesperson confirmed that the company locked Trump’s account on Wednesday, citing concern about the rhetoric used by the president and his recent attacks on democratic institutions. In an effort to halt the certification of electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden, a pro-Trump riot led to a breach of the U.S. Capitol. While the mob attacked the building, Trump addressed his supporters in social media posts, reiterating his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud and telling the protesters he loved them....
