After the Supreme Court declined to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal, President Trump was thrown into the hot seat by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who asked the president whether or not he intended to pardon her himself.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long. I can say this: that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look,” he responded, asking Collins, “Did they reject that?”

“She wanted to appeal her conviction. They said that they were not going to hear her appeal,” Collins answered.

“I see. Well, I’ll take a look at it. I will speak to the DOJ. I wouldn’t consider it or not consider it; I don’t know anything about it. I will speak to the DOJ,” he answered.

“I have a lot of people who have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy, has asked me for a pardon,” he added.

“But she was convicted of child sex trafficking,” Collins interjected.

BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler isn’t impressed by Collins’ line of questioning.

“Kaitlan Collins was obviously trying to set President Trump up by asking whether he would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell because she wanted to be outraged by the idea that Trump would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell,” Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

“I don’t think he will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, but I think it was not a question that was asked in good faith by CNN. It was an attempt to trick Trump into appearing to go soft on Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein,” she continues.

“So CNN, as always, can be completely discounted,” she adds.

Actor Martin Sheen vehemently criticized President Donald Trump in an unhinged screed during a live taping of “The Best People” podcast with Nicolle Wallace.

The far-left actor also bashed the president’s Cabinet before he said he wanted to give Trump some advice, and instead launched into his tirade.

‘There’s no heroes in there. There’s no music. There’s no laughter.’

“The big guy in the White House, if he would take some personal advice — you got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world. And sir, you stop there. You stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants, who are encouraging you to be your nonhuman self,” he said.

“Stop fussing with your hair, and don’t worry about your tie. And stand up straight and speak clearly, not from your throat. Speak from your heart and start being human,” he continued. “That’s what you were made for, not golf. So there you are, Mr. President. With all due respect, sir.”

He said he could imagine a meeting of Trump’s cabinet members to have the smell of “ego and fear and false worship.”

Sheen added, “There’s no heroes in there. There’s no music. There’s no laughter. There’s no self-effacement. There’s no joy in that room.”

The actor not only endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, but he turned up at a pro-Harris campaign event to sing “America the Beautiful” for the cameras.

He was also among those arrested at a climate change protest organized by Jane Fonda on Capitol Hill in 2020.

“We are called to find something in our lives worth fighting for, something that unites the will of the spirit with the work of the flesh,” he said in his speech, “something that can help us lift up this nation and all its people to that place where the heart is without fear.”

Republicans in North Carolina are bringing the state into the redistricting fight between President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers.

They announced a vote for Monday to change the state’s map for the U.S. House districts.

‘We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump’s agenda, which means safeguarding Republican control of Congress.’

The Republican leaders said in a press release that the efforts in California to redistrict that state and counteract the redistricting in Texas led to their decision.

“President Trump delivered countless victories during his first term in office, and nine months into his second term, he continues to achieve unprecedented wins,” Republican Senate Leader Phil Berger said.

“We are doing everything we can to protect President Trump’s agenda, which means safeguarding Republican control of Congress,” he added. “Picking up where Texas left off, we will hold votes in our October session to redraw North Carolina’s congressional map to ensure Gavin Newsom doesn’t decide the congressional majority.”

House Redistricting Chairmen Brenden Jones and Hugh Blackwell, both Republicans, released a joint statement endorsing the policy.

“We’re stepping into this redistricting battle because California and the radical left are attempting to rig the system to handpick who runs Congress,” they wrote. “This ploy is nothing new, and North Carolina will not stand by while they attempt to stack the deck. President Trump has called on us to fight back, and North Carolina stands ready to level the playing field.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) fired off a response from his social media account soon afterward.

“Oh look, another lap dog Republican desperate to suck up to Trump. The GOP is rigging elections and trying to cover it up with lies. Americans are not that stupid, Phil,” he wrote.

“This started in Texas — and if North Carolina gives in, CALIFORNIA PATRIOTS WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA,” he added.

Democrats in New York have announced their intention to redistrict as well, but that effort would not be in time to affect the 2028 elections.

“There’s a phrase, ‘You have to fight fire with fire.’ That is a true statement of how we’re feeling right now,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said in August.

“And as I’ve said, another overused but applicable phrase, ‘All’s fair in love and war,'” she added. “That’s why I’m exploring with our leaders every option to redraw our state congressional lines as soon as possible.”

President Donald Trump was snubbed from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize despite negotiating peace deals all over the world, and instead, Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Machado won the prize for “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

“Hold on,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says. “It says here it was ‘her struggle to achieve’ the ‘transition from dictatorship to democracy.’ Did she actually pull any of that off? Because as far as I can tell, the country is still being ruled by a dictator and carries out a whole bunch of human rights abuses.”

“And on top of that, they also are still sending a bunch of drugs to our country to kill our citizens. So this woman is in a struggle session, has not been successful, and they’re like, ‘Well, she tried, but she tried really hard, guys. She gets a participation trophy,’” Gonzales continues.

“I mean, this is just laughable at this point. I don’t know why anyone would take this seriously at all,” she adds.

In an attempt to justify why Trump didn’t win, the Nobel chairman explained, “In the long history of the Nobel Peace Prize, I think this committee has seen any type of campaign media attention. We receive thousands and thousands of letters every year of people wanting to say what for them leads to peace.”

“This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel,” he continued.

“Oh, okay,” Gonzales comments. “Like good old Barack Hussein Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in, what was it, 2009? Less than nine months after taking office his first term. Like, dude had not done anything yet, but the Nobel committee said it awarded him the prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

“And by the way, Obama actually himself admitted that he did not even deserve it,” she says, noting that under Obama, America was led into two wars.

“How many wars is America in under President Trump?” She asks, adding, “Oh, zero.”
