BOOM: Trump effect leads RNC to record $14.6 million haul in February
The conventional wisdom among the ruling class in D.C. is that the president serves as head of his party. Credit or blame for the party’s gains or woes are therefore assigned to him.
With that in mind, it’s only fair to give POTUS Donald Trump kudos for the Republican National Committee’s record $14.6 million fundraising haul in February.
This is our second highest February ever (outpaced only by 2004) and largest off-cycle year ever,” RNC National Press Secretary Cassie Smedile told the Washington Examiner.
“It’s been three years since we launched the largest online fundraising apparatus ever, yet the three committees [including the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee] continue to see new enthusiasm and support for this president and his policies every day.”
The RNC also noted that the party has managed to dramatically increase its small-dollar donor pool, which 2020 Democratic rivals Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Robert “Beto” O’Rourke have said proves their viability.
“Nearly 60 percent of our donations came from small-dollar donors, $8.9 million,” Smedile said.
“So while 2020 Dems continue to boast about their ‘massive’ one-day seven-figure fundraising days that they haul in only because it’s their formal ‘launch’ day, Trump’s fundraising arms have repeatedly hit this number and we’ve done so without the momentum of an initial campaign launch,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced it raised a record $11.6 million in the same month.
As for the Trump effect on the RNC’s record fundraising, as a reminder the RNC announced in January their full support for POTUS Trump, heading off rumblings of...
African migrant sets bus with schoolchildren on fire in Italy
A 47-year-old African bus driver was held by Carabinieri police on Wednesday after he hijacked a bus with Italian schoolchildren and set the bus on fire. The Senegalese migrant tied the hands of the children with plastic electrical ties in an attempt to kill them, sources said.
The terror unleashed by the African on the children in the bus, lasted for almost 40 minutes. The Senegalese attacker said he was angry at government migrant policy, and confiscated the phones of his passengers while telling them that no one would survive.
The attacker Ousseynou Sy, hijacked the bus with 51 pupils from a middle school in the northern province of Cremona. Sy, originally from Senegal, has a criminal record and has been Italian citizen since 2004.
He said he wanted to kill himself and “stop the deaths in the Mediterranean,” according to sources, and ordered a teacher to tie the children’s hands with plastic ties. The teacher only attached the ties to four or five of the children, and so loosely that they could easily free themselves afterwards, local sources told the media.
“No one will survive,” the attacker told his victims after hijacking the vehicle outside San Donato near Milan, according to Carabinieri Provincial Commander Luca De Marchis.
But one boy, a 13-year-old, managed to hide his phone from the assaillant and call the police. Before the police could intervene, the suspect had also tried to ram through a road block.
When law enforcement finally stopped the bus, the migrant tried to escape from the vehicle while setting it alight, having poured petrol inside. But the Carabinieri managed to get the children out to safety out by smashing the rear windows.

“The flames broke out while some children were still inside,” the colonel confirmed to Italian daily La Reppublica. “In those moments of great excitement the Senegalese decided to get off the bus, but he was blocked – he has burns to his hands.”
The suspect admitted to having brought a kitchen knife, while not confirming that he had a gun, although some witnesses say they caught a glimpse of it.
Twelve children and two adults were...
