'He Finally Won a Popular Vote' The View Cheers Trump's Indictment

Ignorant legal commentary and gloating over Trump’s reported indictment was the theme of Friday’s opening segment of ABC’s The View as the clucking hens who make up the cast made sure to let their audience know how immature and vindictive they were.  After setting their audience up to believe the coven was about to discuss the indictment of Trump, a soundbite of the jury in the Gwyneth Paltrow case was aired. That got a laugh from the suburban liberal wine moms in the audience.  “In other legal news,” co-host Joy Behar announced before gloating how “the twice impeached, one term, once indicted, but who's counting? Former President is reportedly facing more than 30 count them—criminal charges.”     pic.twitter.com/CL9QB5hHPY — Kevin Tober (@KevinTober94) March 31, 2023   Racist Sunny Hostin butted in to claim she “called it” and gestured the clapping seals in the audience to applaud her. “We feel good” Ana Navarro admitted.  “I said he would be held criminally responsible because no one is above the law. He would be, at the very least, charged,” Hostin proclaimed.     The bigoted co-host went on to claim Trump “not only has the New York case, has the Georgia case, he has the Department of Justice case. There are two or three of them there. You cannot commit so many crimes and think that you are above the law even if you are the President.” Hostin went on to make the obvious point that Trump cannot pardon himself if he’s convicted at the state level since presidential pardons only cover federal-level crimes.  This was news to Behar who expressed her ignorance: “Oh is that so? If it was a federal crime, he could pardon himself?”   From there, Hostin displayed her ignorance when she claimed without evidence her belief that Trump “has a pocket pardon somewhere in some safe somewhere.”  Butting in once again to showcase her chronic hatred of the former President, Navarro said she wanted to “thank this special grand jury” because they are “regular New Yorkers” and “not people with a political agenda.” Getting in another juvenile shot at Trump, she shouted that he “finally won a popular vote yesterday. The Grand Jury voted to indict him!”  The nasty political attacks didn’t stop with Trump himself, Navarro even dragged the grandchildren into the controversy.  “They now can give their children the distinction of having matching mug shots for both of their grandfathers. You can pick whether you want Charlie Kushner or Donald Trump mug shots if you are Jared and Ivanka's child,” Navarro shrieked.  This dangerous stupidity from the hyenas at The View was made possible by Progressive. Their information is linked.  The transcript is below. Click “expand” to read: ABC’s The View 3/31/2023 11:02:46 a.m. Eastern  JOY BEHAR: And in other legal news and to quote the great Sunny Hostin, the twice impeaced—I can't even speak.  SUNNY HOSTIN: The twice impeached.  BEHAR: The twice impeached, one term, once indicted, but who's counting? Former President is reportedly facing more than 30 count them—criminal charges. So, how do we feel about this unprecedented moment in American history?   HOSTIN: I called it.  BEHAR: Did you?  ANA NAVARRO: We feel good!  BEHAR: Begging for applause.  HOSTIN: I said he would be held criminally responsible because no one is above the law. He would be, at the very least, charged. He not only has the New York case, has the Georgia case, he has the Department of Justice case. There are two or three of them there. You cannot commit so many crimes and think that you are above the law even if you are the President.   [...] 11:04:21 a.m. Eastern HOSTIN: And I think what’s wonderful in my opinion as a former federal prosecutor, is that a President cannot pardon himself from state crimes.  BEHAR: Oh is that so? If it was a federal crime, he could pardon himself?  HOSTIN: Yeah and I think he has a pocket pardon somewhere in some safe somewhere. I do. I believe that about him.   NAVARRO: Listen, the first thing I want to do is I want to thank this special Grand Jury. Because they have been meeting for weeks and weeks. They've done this incredibly seriously. This is not an easy case. This is a case that has risks. And so I thank them. Because these are regular New Yorkers. These are not people with a political agenda. These are regular New yorkers.  Donald Trump finally won a popular vote yesterday. The Grand Jury voted to indict him! You know I was thinking last night. Boy because I was reading this article where Ivanka and Jared apparently want to start their new life in Miami. And I was thinking you know, they now can give their children the distinction of having matching mug shots for both of their grandfathers. You can pick whether you want Charlie Kushner or Donald Trump mug shots if you are Jared and Ivanka's child. [...] 11:06:13 a.m. Eastern NAVARRO: I will tell you who tweeted something yesterday, which is one of the former Central Park five, now the exonerated five, Yusuf Abdus Salaam. For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump - who never said sorry for calling for my execution - here it is: Karma.

9-Year-Old ‘Trans’ Kid Claims ‘I Was Never A Boy’

“I’ve known I was a girl so long that I don’t remember life as a boy.” Well kid, you have your whole life ahead of you to blame your parents for that. 9-year-old Sunny Bryant gave a speech at the Texas State Capitol building this week protesting a TX bill that would prohibit kids from permanently damaging their bodies.  Senate Bill 14 would ban physicians from providing puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgeries for children. These acts of, what the left calls “gender-affirming care,” are extremely dangerous for anyone, especially children who haven’t fully developed yet. The ban would save many children from life-altering damage. Yet activists and even some kids like Sunny disagree.  At the start, the moderator asked “you are against the bill?” The child had to look to his mother to verify his answer before turning back to the mic. Clearly this child was confused.  In his speech, likely written by his mother, the child explained how he was “always a girl.” “Why do you spend so much time thinking about whether I’m really a girl? Why do you think you know me better than I know myself? I’ve been me my whole life. I’ve known I was a girl so long that I don’t remember life as a boy. Probably because I was never a boy,” the child said.  Hon, if you were “never a boy” you wouldn’t be standing up trying to convince people that you’re a girl.  The child claimed that he needed what the senate was “trying to make illegal” to be the “girl I am.” Hearts should break for this kid. As his mother stood next to him, coaching him on the speech she wrote, he stood and presented lie after lie. He’s not to blame though. His parents and whoever else helped feed a delusion are at fault. Let the child be a child and worry about Christmas presents or who’s going to be “it” first in tag or who can hold their breath longest in the pool. A child shouldn’t be worrying about things like this because they shouldn’t be involved in things like this.  Any child, especially a nine-year-old, that thinks he or she is “transgender” is a victim of child abuse. Period.  “If you take it away, I’ll start to look like a boy and I’m not a boy and that scares me,” the child continued, adding that barring “gender-affirming care” is the state deciding whether Sunny gets “to be happy” or not.  This poor kid is so confused. Immediately after concluding his speech by saying he’d have to leave Texas to seek “care” elsewhere if the bill is passed, the child looked to his mother with a “did I do a good job?” type look.  Unfortunately, this isn't even the first time little Sunny spoke trying to defend his transgender identity. In October of 2021 he stood before TX lawmakers claiming they were “attacking” him with their proposed bill that would ban transgender athletes from playing in sports that didn’t match their actual gender.  I genuinely feel bad for this kid. Not because he thinks he should get a surgery to cut off his genitals or to get puberty blockers. Because adults are feeding him a delusion and using him as a political weapon.  Follow us on Twitter: "Joe Biden's budget plan makes the government's fiscal crisis worse!"

Brinkley Compares Trump's Mugshot To John Wilkes Booth's Wanted Poster

With former President Trump being indicted there was bound to be some cable news historian who reached for an outlandish analogy while attempting to wax poetic on the news and Douglas Brinkley delivered on Friday’s CNN Newsroom, declaring Trump’s upcoming mugshot will be like the wanted poster for John Wilkes Booth. Host Jessica Dean wondered what history is going to think of this moment, “And Douglas Brinkley is here with me in New York, and I saw you, kind of, nodding your head while John [Miller] was walking us through just this, like, incredible image of a former president who has been covered by Secret Service. Will he be handcuffed? Will he not? How are historians like yourself and the ones that come after you going to take note of this moment? Because we are, we're making history now.”     It’s very early to be talking about how history will remember this, but that didn’t stop Brinkley from launching into a broad denunciation of the Republican Party, “I see it as the decline of the Republican Party. I mean, we think of the GOP as Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and it's descending into Donald Trump, who’s being indicted. And this is the first indictment with maybe others to come. Yet the Republican Party seems to be backing him for re-election.” Getting to Trump specifically, Brinkley claimed, “Now we're set up to see the biggest reality show that's actually real come to life and watching a the-- I can't even think of an artifact except maybe wanted John Wilkes Booth after the Lincoln assassination of a wanted poster or a mugshot that's going to be circulating around the world in the kind of way that this one of Donald Trump is.” It says more about Brinkley and his fellow liberals that they would analogize the alleged falsification of business records with the assassination of a president. More to the point, New York doesn’t release mugshots, so those wanting that “artifact” should prepare to be disappointed. Brinkley followed up by adding, “the finger printing the booking of him. It's really dramatic stuff, and it's never happened before in American history. We're all going to be glued, leaning forward to our television sets on Tuesday if all of this unravels as it looks like it is.” Hopefully CNN will get better analogies before Tuesday. This segment was sponsored by Progressive. Here is a transcript for the March 31 show: CNN Newsroom 3/31/2023 9:12 AM ET JESSICA DEAN: And Douglas Brinkley is here with me in New York, and I saw you, kind of, nodding your head while John was walking us through just this, like, incredible image of a former president who has been covered by Secret Service. Will he be handcuffed? Will he not? How are historians like yourself and the ones that come after you going to take note of this moment? Because we are, we're making history now. DOUGLAS BRINKLEY: I see it as the decline of the Republican Party. I mean, we think of the GOP as Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and it's descending into Donald Trump, who’s being indicted. And this is the first indictment with maybe others to come. Yet the Republican Party seems to be backing him for re-election. One would have thought January 6th, and Trump's involvement with that would have been enough to derail Trump, that would have been the end of his role in politics. Now we're set up to see the biggest reality show that's actually real come to life and watching a the-- I can't even think of an artifact except maybe wanted John Wilkes Booth after the Lincoln assassination of a wanted poster or a mugshot that's going to be circulating around the world in the kind of way that this one of Donald Trump is. His finger, the finger printing the booking of him. It's really dramatic stuff, and it's never happened before in American history. We're all going to be glued, leaning forward to our television sets on Tuesday if all of this unravels as it looks like it is. DEAN: Yeah, it is dramatic. It's a good word for it. 

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Purge!’ Athletes Slam Twitter for Hypocrisy, Censoring Posts Condemning Trans Protest

Former U.S. athletes are slamming Twitter’s hypocrisy for censoring tweets reporting on the “Trans Day Of Vengeance” and not protecting them against the onslaught of Twitter harassment and death threats they faced when they spoke out against biological males in women’s sports. In an exclusive interview with MRC Free Speech America, Riley Gaines, a 12x All-American swimmer and Stand with Women spokeswoman at the Independent Women’s Forum, and Taylor Silverman, an accomplished competitive skateboarder, pushed back against Twitter’s assault against free speech. Both called out the platform’s hypocrisy for not protecting them against an onslaught of threats. “Vengeance is a scary word. This feels like a purge,” decried Gaines of Twitter’s muzzling efforts in support of the leftist-led “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Gaines also called out Twitter’s double standard for allowing tweets promoting the event while banning those who highlighted it:  “The MRC and other members of Congress reporting on the protest were highlighting what this is calling for. Obviously, these posters that were going around from people who were actually encouraging it were inciting violence. The MRC was highlighting why this is wrong, yet they were shut down, and I guarantee there are other profiles that were encouraging vengeance but were not shut down,” [emphasis added]. Similarly, Silverman, a professional skateboarder who became the target of leftist threats after speaking out against allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports, torched Twitter’s “massive double standard” for allowing death threats against her to run freely: “This is a massive double standard because it seems members of the transgender community can say whatever they want while any criticism gets silenced. When I spoke out about competing in a skateboarding contest where a male entered the women’s division and I placed second because of it, I was sent death threats. I was told to harm myself. My friends and family were harassed, and nothing was done about it whatsoever,” [emphasis added]. Both Silverman and Gaines were robbed of their first-place prizes because biological males were allowed to compete against them. Elon Musk’s Twitter banned 11 pro-free speech outlets, journalists and leaders of their accounts for reporting on the infamous event. The censorship assault targeted the Media Research Center and its video division MRCTV, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Federalist CEO Sean Davis and RedState’s editor-at-large Ben Kew, among others.  Twitter’s Vice President of Trust and Safety Ella Irwin defended the sweeping censorship related to tweets promoting the Trans Day of Vengeance, claiming the platform “had to automatically sweep our platform and remove >5000 tweets /retweets of this poster,” she wrote. “We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or support for peaceful protests is ok.” Media Research Center President Brent Bozell slammed Twitter for blatantly muzzling the MRC for reporting on a major news story: “Hey @elonmusk, do you know what your team is up to? We should not be censored for reporting the news. Please get this fixed!” Hey @elonmusk, do you know what your team is up to? We should not be censored for reporting the news. Please get this fixed! https://t.co/zxGrW4LlJC — Brent Bozell (@BrentBozell) March 29, 2023 MRC Free Speech America & MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider ripped apart Twitter’s excuse:  “Twitter’s blatant hypocrisy is breathtaking. Just last week, liberals were on Twitter attacking Donald Trump for calling for protests in New York if he got indicted, but Twitter is now freezing accounts of conservatives who are simply reporting on planned protests by the left in Washington.” The "Trans Day of Vengeance" protest was canceled after facing scrutiny in the wake of the Nashville school shooting, the event's organizer announced on March 30 via Twitter. A new MRC Free Speech American study found that censorship on Twitter has shockingly risen after Elon Musk took over. Conservatives are under attack. Contact Twitter at 415-222-9670 and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment and provide clarity on “hate speech” and an equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

CBS Tag-Teams With Warren to Bemoan GOP Not Supporting Bragg, Tout Fear of ‘Violence’

Friday’s CBS Mornings featured a whopping 24 minutes and 53 seconds on the indictment of former President Trump by far-left, Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and it included their latest nauseating interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King steered much of the conversation with softballs on Trump and a plea for gun control with her co-hosts touching on banking and TikTok. King opened the segment by lamenting “Trump is vowing to fight these charges, and he's got the support of many, many prominent Republicans.” She then made the pivot to Warren: “For some political reaction to this, we're joined by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.”     “We’re – as we've been saying all morning, uncharted territory, unprecedented motions. What was your reaction when you heard,” she asked. King hung on Warren’s every word, including her belief that “no one is above the law.” As such, she whined that Republicans aren’t sharing her views about the need to prosecute Trump: Why are no Republicans saying this? We hear Lindsey Graham saying there is legal voodoo, political persecution, political hatred, that this is all about a political witch hunt. Why are there no Republicans, not one, saying that no one is above the law, that this is all about politics? She later added she found it “so concerning” that “Trump is calling for, in his words, death and destruction” along with “allies to rally behind him” and “show out.”  “Are you worried about violence in the streets,” she asked. Co-host Nate Burleson chimed in to decry Trump using “dangerous rhetoric,” which gave King a shot to reemphasize her concern: “Yeah. It’s very – I'm very concerned about that.” “It is dangerous,” Warren replied, “and violence is never the answer. This is part of the reason we have a court system so that we don't resolve these things in the streets.” A forlorn King made one last plea on Trump: “Are you worried about it? Are you worried about it?” Of course, Warren said she’s “always worr[ied] about violence.” Co-host Vladimir Duthiers pivoted to banking and invited her to share what she “want[s] to see happen so that we don’t see another bank collapse” like we saw in recent weeks. Predictably, she blamed it entirely on Republicans and Donald Trump for winning the 2016 election and repealing portions of Dodd-Frank. Duthiers thankfully offered pushback: “But, Senator, even when there are regulations in place, the San Francisco Fed did call attention to what was going on at Silicon Valley Bank and nothing was done.” Nonetheless, Warren continued to lay blame at Republicans and only threw in the Federal Reserve, a more widely disdained entity. Co-host Nate Burleson took the next section on TikTok and sat by as Warren refused to denounce TikTok and declined to say whether she’d support banning the app in the U.S. Instead, she equivocated Chinese and American cyber intelligence and storage of user data (click “expand”): BURLESON: Senator, we want to get your thoughts on a top take that we've covered quite a bit here on the show, and that's the banning of TikTok. WARREN: Yeah. BURLESON: Some progressive lawmakers have said that this wouldn't actually address the issue of data privacy. Have you seen evidence of TikTok being a threat to our national security? WARREN: So, I look at this a little differently. I think the question of privacy of our data through social media, through just tracking us on our phones, is something that we should be very concerned about. BURLESON: Hmmm. WARREN: But it's not enough just to say this is a TikTok-only problem. This is a problem all the way across in terms of the data that are being collected. BURLESON: Okay, are we casting a wide enough net? WARREN: We are not casting a wide enough net. I want to see a wider net on the privacy issues. I also think on the question of China because it is different with China here. But China has other – they've got apps out there, they’ve got social media, they’ve got other pieces. So, we need –  DUTHIERS: And American tech companies can sell data. BURLESON: True. WARREN: Bingo. BURLESON: So TikTok, should it not be banned? WARREN: The way I see it is it we're going to look into the question of data privacy and we should, I've got very serious concerns about this. We need to cast a broad enough net. We cannot pretend that if we can focus in on one company that we're all done and have fixed this problem. Big net. King ended the friendly chat with a plea for gun control: “Once again, the horrible shooting in Nashville. I know it's not an easy answer, but will something change this time? Are your Republican colleagues saying something differently behind the scenes about let's make changes in gun laws?” Warren sounded like King did a few days ago in stating she couldn’t “tell you how frustrating this is. Our children die because there are Republicans in Congress who continue to insist that we can't put just basic safety measures in place.” King asked again if she saw any “behind-the-scenes conversations,” but Warren ducked and instead declared that America would be far better off if she were like Massachusetts. No thanks, Chief Warren. CBS’s weak sauce interview was brought to you by advertisers such as Honda and Neutrogena.

Bearded Powerlifter Enters Canadian “Womans” Competition to Make a Point – Shatters Record

I think he made the point. 

Dudes are entering women’s sports and breaking records while women are pushed to the sidelines.  One man had enough of this and he did what he could to point out the absurdity of men in women’s sports.

Canadian powerlifting coach, Avi Silverberg, entered the Alberta Women’s bench press and shattered the record.  He claimed he was a woman and won the trophy.

The New York Post reported that a bearded male powerlifter, Avi Silverberg, identified as a woman to enter the Heroes Classic in Lethbridge, Alberta. Silverberg proceeded to lift almost 370 pounds, shattering the existing Alberta record of 275 pounds.

Silverberg performed the feat as the existing record-holder, trans athlete Anne Andres, watched.

Dudes in women’s sports are an affront to women in general.  This effort is the destruction of the way God made us.

Trump Scheduled to be Arraigned Tuesday at 2:15 PM ET

Former president Donald Trump is reportedly scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday by acting Justice Juan Merchan after 2:15 p.m. ET in New York.

“APPEALING!” – Trump GOES OFF on Judge ‘Assigned’ to Stormy Daniels Case – Same Judge Who “Railroaded” Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg

President Trump went off on the judge ‘assigned’ to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is expected to be assigned to Trump’s Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case, according to Fox News.


Judge Juan Merchan

Recall, Juan Merchan was the same judge who oversaw the Trump Org trial tied to tax-related conduct amid claims Trump Organization employees illegally ‘received tax-free perks such as apartments and car leases.’

According to the indictment, Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg was accused of a “sweeping and audacious” tax fraud scheme for receiving $1.7 million in illegally ‘received tax-free perks such as apartments and car leases.’

Merchan completely railroaded Allen Weisselberg and forced him to plead guilty.. OR ELSE.

Weisselberg pleaded guilty to all 15 tax crime felonies in exchange for a reduced sentence in a plea deal with prosecutors.

The plea deal also required that Mr. Weisselberg to testify as a witness.

Judge Merchan ultimately sentenced Weisselberg to five months in Rikers Island jail.

A racist, Trump-hating Soros-backed DA targeted Trump and now a Trump-hating judge will oversee the case.

Trump went off on Judge Merchan.

“The Judge “assigned” to my Witch Hunt Case, a “Case” that has NEVER BEEN CHARGED BEFORE, HATES ME. His name is Juan Manuel Marchan, was hand picked by Bragg & the Prosecutors, & is the same person who “railroaded” my 75 year old former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, to take a “plea” deal (Plead GUILTY, even if you are not, 90 DAYS, fight us in Court, 10 years (life!) in jail. He strong armed Allen, which a judge is not allowed to do, & treated my companies, which didn’t “plead,” VICIOUSLY. APPEALING!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday morning.

Gag order incoming…

Marjorie Taylor Greene to Lead New York Protest of Trump Indictment on Tuesday

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced Friday that she will lead a protest in New York on Tuesday when President Trump is set be arraigned on a grand jury indictment in Manhattan. No location was announced but presumably the protest will be held at the courthouse.

“I’m going to New York on Tuesday. We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!…New York put your MAGA hats on. Under our constitutional rights, we WILL support President Trump and protest the tyrants. I’ll see you on Tuesday.”

But now they have a complete fool that is deranged enough to try because he is backed by Soros. And Soros wants war to destabilize America and gain full control.”

Trump is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday at 2:15 PM ET in New York City.

In just two years Joe Biden and Barack Obama have destroyed the economy, foreign policy, energy sector, inflation rates, American culture, traditions, and political norms.

And now, Democrats are jailing the opposition and indicting the opposition party’s candidate.

It has not going unnoticed.

Nets Spend 273 Minutes on Trump, 0 Seconds on Biden Family Corruption

Shhh! Nothing to see here! The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks continue to bury the Hunter Biden probe and the growing scandals surrounding the Biden family’s corruption, including the House Oversight Committee’s revelations that Hunter, the President’s brother Jim and Hallie Biden (widow of son Beau) received payments from a Chinese energy firm — something President Joe Biden firmly denied.  However, their voracious appetite for covering the various investigations (Stormy Daniels, Mara Lago documents, January 6th) surrounding former President Donald Trump remains unsatiated.  Beginning with the House Oversight Committee’s breaking of the Hallie Biden news through the evening of Trump’s indictment, MRC analysts tracked the glaring double-standard.  Over 14 days (March 16-March 30) ABC, NBC, CBS filled their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with over 272 minutes (4 hours, 32 minutes, 56 seconds) of Trump investigation coverage compared to ZERO seconds spent on Biden family corruption stories. On average, network audiences saw almost 20 minutes per day of Trump investigation stories.  NBC devoted the most amount of coverage to the Trump investigations (1 hour, 41 minutes, 31 seconds), followed by ABC (1 hour, 39 minutes, 6  seconds) and then CBS (1 hours, 12  minutes, 19 seconds.) If the broadcast news shows weren’t so in the tank for the Biden administration they could’ve reported on ANY of the following revelations from the past two weeks:    President Biden’s Daughter-In-Law Got Paid Chinese Cash in 2017 On March 16, the New York Post reported: President Biden’s daughter-in-law Hallie is the mysterious “new” Biden family member who got paid Chinese cash in 2017, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed exclusively to The Post Thursday. Comer said the payments to first son Hunter Biden’s sister-in-law-turned-former lover were revealed in subpoenaed bank records. The records show Hallie Biden received $35,000 over two transfers in 2017 from Biden family associate Rob Walker, who got $3 million on March 1, 2017, from State Energy HK Limited, a firm affiliated with CEFC China Energy. President Biden, who allegedly was the “big guy” mentioned in communications about the same Chinese venture, dined at Hallie Biden’s residence last Friday during his regular weekend trip home to Delaware. It’s unclear if they discussed the looming bombshell, which Comer (R-Ky.) publicly teased Monday night on Fox News’ “Hannity.” ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news coverage: 0 seconds.     Joe Biden Denies Chinese Firm Made Payments to Biden Family Members On March 18, FoxNews.com reported:  President Biden denied that his family received more than $1 million in payments from accounts related to Hunter Biden’s business associate Rob Walker and their Chinese business ventures in 2017, even though financial records indicate otherwise. On Thursday, GOP lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee revealed that they had obtained bank documents showing that Hunter Biden, the president's brother Jim, and Hallie Biden, the widow of his son Beau, received payments from Hunter’s business associate Rob Walker and their joint venture with Chinese energy firm CEFC. A spokesperson for Hunter Biden's legal team confirmed the payments Thursday but emphasized that the recipients' accounts “belonged to Hunter, his uncle and Hallie – nobody else.” However, Biden denied that the payments were made when confronted by a reporter on the White House lawn Friday. “That’s not true,” the president said, when asked about the GOP lawmakers’ findings. ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news coverage: 0 seconds.   Hunter Biden Had FBI Mole Named ‘One-Eye” Who Tipped Off His Chinese Business Partners On March 22, the New York Post’s Miranda Devine reported:  Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named “One-Eye” who tipped off his Chinese business partners that they were under investigation, according to an Israeli energy expert arrested in Cyprus last month on gunrunning charges. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the explosive claims by Dr. Gal Luft, a former Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, who says he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden family and FBI corruption — details he told the Department of Justice in 2019, which he says it ignored. Luft, 56, first made the claims on Feb. 18 on Twitter, after being detained at a Cyprus airport as he prepared to board a plane to Israel. “I’ve been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the U.S. The U.S., claiming I’m an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren’t tragic. I’ve never been an arms dealer. “DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim, and Hunter Biden. “Shall I name names?” ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news coverage: 0 seconds.   VP Biden’s Office Tried to Quash a Bloomberg News Story on Hunter  On March 22, FoxNews.com reported:  The office of then-Vice President Joe Biden tried to quash a Bloomberg News story about Hunter Biden at the younger Biden's firm's request, according to 2015 emails published Wednesday. Emails obtained by America First Legal (AFL) through its ongoing lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), showed a close relationship between the vice president's office, Hunter Biden's longtime business partner and the media. On Dec. 8, 2015, The New York Times ran an article saying the “credibility of the vice president’s anti-corruption message may have been undermined” by Hunter’s serving on the board of Burisma Holdings with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Later that day, Eric Schwerin, who was president of Hunter’s now-defunct investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners at the time, asked the vice president’s then-communications director, Kate Bedingfield, whether there was any “follow up” by other news outlets on the Times article. Bedingfield, who stepped down last month as White House communications director, responded to Schwerin within minutes, saying a Bloomberg reporter had asked about it but was “doing everything she can to not use it.” ABC, CBS, NBC evening and morning news coverage: 0 seconds.   The contrast in coverage is staggering but not surprising as the Big Three networks continue their mission of clamping down on the Biden family scandals while returning to their love of hating Trump.

DEVELOPING: Judge Authorizes Manhattan DA Bragg to Make Trump Indictment Public

A New York judge on Friday authorized DA Alvin Bragg to make the Trump indictment public.

“A judge has authorized the Manhattan district attorney to disclose to the public that the grand jury has returned an indictment in the case of former President Donald Trump, according to a court document.” Reuters reported.

Trump has been accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

A Manhattan Grand Jury voted to indict President Trump anyway.

The indictment is currently under seal, however, according to a leak to CNN, President Trump was hit with 34 counts related to business fraud.

It is unclear when Alvin Bragg will make the indictment public, according to Reuters.

Trump is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday at 2:15 PM ET in New York City on the trumped up charges.

Trump will not take a plea deal in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case, according to the former president’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

‘Abuse’ of Power! Cruz Probes Big Tech-Gov’t Collusion Against Free Speech

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is calling on nine tech companies to answer whether they colluded with the federal government to censor Americans. Sen. Cruz, who is a ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee, announced in a March 29 press release that he sent letters to nine tech giants requesting information on “coordination with more than 40 government officials” to investigate, censor and flag content and user accounts on the internet. The letters were addressed to Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Reddit, Yahoo!, Pinterest, Medium, and Wikipedia and asked the companies to report whether each had had contact with federal agencies and officials. Cruz further asked about federal requests to “review, monitor, investigate, promote, or restrict content” for topics such as COVID-19, the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, and “civil unrest,” the press release said. Cruz’s press release listed Federal agencies that may have colluded with Big Tech to silence users. The list of potential censorship colluders included the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Departments of Justice and Defense, the CIA, the FDA, Office of the Surgeon General, and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). Cruz specifically cited The Twitter Files, which he said continue to “reveal the extent to which U.S. government employees, acting in an official capacity, applied pressure to, as well as coordinated with, social media companies in an effort to restrict Americans’ speech.” The Twitter Files revealed that government officials and agencies including the FBI, HHS, and CDC worked directly with Big Tech to censor Americans. “Instead of focusing on their taxpayer-funded remit to protect and promote the interests of all Americans, agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of State (DOS) turned their attention to micromanaging what Americans can post and see online,” Cruz insisted. “Often, this censorship directly interfered in legitimate public debate around issues of national significance, such as elections and the evolving science on COVID-19.” The Twitter Files and the Media Research Center’s own research support the senator’s claims. A November 2020 MRC poll found that Big Tech censorship of the Hunter Biden scandal helped steal the election for Joe Biden. MRC Free Speech America further found over 800 cases of Big Tech censoring the COVID-19 debate online between March 2020 and February 2022. The Twitter Files have shown that various government entities played a role in censoring those two topics particularly. Cruz called this tech-government censorship “a shocking abuse of government power,” and a “blatant infringement on Americans’ First Amendment rights.” He noted that the Supreme Court declared in the case Texas v. Johnson that “‘[t]he government may not prohibit the verbal or nonverbal expression of an idea merely because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable.’” Unfortunately, Cruz said, citing The Twitter Files again, “in some cases, the government attempted to accomplish exactly that.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech and government agencies be held to account to mirror the First Amendment and provide transparency. If you have been censored, contact us using CensorTrack’s contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

**BREAKING** Innocent Green Beret and J6 Political Prisoner Jeremy Brown Hearing Today at 2 PM ET with Judge Mehta – They Want to Join His Case to Oath Keepers Case HERE’S HOW YOU CAN JOIN IN

Green Beret and Republican congressional candidate Jeremy Brown attended the Stop the Steal protests in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. Jeremy joined the Oath Keepers in November of 2020 following the controversial elections and went to Washington DC to provide security at the many protests and rallies that were planned in DC that week.

In March of 2021, Jeremy Brown started speaking out about how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) contacted him and attempted to recruit him to spy on patriots and everyday Americans on January 6th.

In December 2020 FBI agents contacted Jeremy Brown at his home for “posting some things online.”

Jeremy released video surveillance of the FBI contacting him at his home. And Jeremy then later released an audio recording of his actual meetup with the FBI.

Jeremy struggled for months about whether or not to go public with this information. But according to his Facebook page“After listening to politicians and the FBI Director, Chris Wray, tell lie after bald-faced lie to the American People, he could not stay silent any longer.”

Jeremy decided his desire to protect and defend the American people and the TRUTH are more important than privacy or personal safety.

So in March 2021 Jeremy joined Brandon Gray on Banned.TV to explain what happened to him after he joined the Oath Keepers in November.

Jeremy released a video of his encounter with government officials when they came to his home. Jeremy also released audio of his meeting with the FBI at a local restaurant when they tried to recruit him to work undercover for him on January 6th in Washington DC.

Jeremy explained in his video that the FBI called his cellphone and asked for a meeting after trying to contact him at his house. Jeremy then met with the FBI agents at a restaurant in Ybor City in December 2020. He told Brandon Gray that 38 seconds into the interview the FBI attempted to recruit him to spy on the Oath Keepers.

The Gateway Pundit first spoke with Jeremy Brown in 2021. Jeremy was SAFE at the time, but laying low and keeping on the situation until he says he has “a full grasp on any fallout that is sure to result.”

** You can support Jeremy Brown’s fundraising effort here.  

In September 2020 the same agents who tried to recruit him months earlier returned to Jeremy Brown’s home with nearly two dozen agents to arrest him.

At 3:45 PM Eastern, the FBI raided retired Army Ranger Jeremy Brown’s home and arrested Jeremy. The charge was trespassing. The Gateway Pundit was notified the next morning by his family and an attorney.

The FBI searched their house, RV, and trailer. Then they arrested Jeremy and took him away.

His family contacted The Gateway Pundit the following morning.

** You can support Jeremy Brown’s fundraising effort here.  

Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces Master Sergeant.

The Gateway Pundit spoke with Jeremy’s girlfriend after his arrest. She told us Jeremy would later appear in Pinellas County Court. Jeremy was charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor.

Jeremy Brown NEVER entered the US Capitol on January 6. His crime was in reality refusing to be an FBI informant as we describe below.

The FBI sent 20 vehicles for his arrest. DHS and Pinellas County law enforcement were also present. The FBI was in Jeremy’s home for 5-and-a-half hours looking for evidence. We were told the FBI did not read Jeremy his rights.

As we reported months ago, Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for the dirty FBI — They wanted him to be one of their plants at the Jan. 6 Trump rallies. He refused So they stormed his home at 3:45 PM on Thursday and arrested him on bogus misdemeanor charges.

Jeremy Brown was found guilty earlier this year on bogus charges the FBI made up after they raided his home.

Today Jeremy Brown has a videoconference before crooked Judge Mehta in Washington DC.

‘Big Climate’ Nut Presses Mets To Dump Citibank Stadium Name

As if the Mets don't have enough actual problems. A New York climate nut triggered by Citibank’s financing of fossil fuels is demanding the New York Mets change the name of their stadium, Citi Field. Public advocate Jumaane Williams is freaking out over alleged “climate change” and demanding the Mets re-name their stadium.  Williams (in photo), who ran unsuccessfully last year for governor, is planning a rally at Citi Hall to ratchet up the pressure on Mets’ owner Steve Cohen to cancel his investments in Big Oil. It’s unknown if Williams and the protesters will arrive for the protest in gas-guzzling SUVs or not.  WABC TV, of New York, reported Williams wants the National League baseball team to end its business with Citi Bank and “void the bank’s naming rights to the stadium over his inordinate fears of climate change.”  Earlier this week, Williams tweeted: “Citi doesn’t represent the values of Mets fans or NYC. If they refuse to end their toxic relationship with fossil fuels, the Mets should end their partnership with Citi.  “We can aim to both win the World Series and protect the world’s climate at the same time.”  Williams claimed he bleeds blue and orange (the Mets’ colors). They represent “an incredible spirit, history and institution and are of tremendous value to New Yorkers.” So they can’t continue with this spirit and value to the city by helping industries that keep the planes, trains and automobiles running? Uh-uh.  Citibank’s business association with eeeevillll fossil fuel companies “do not represent the values of the Mets or our city, and we must make better demands. If Citi refuses to end their toxic relationship with the fossil fuel industry, the Mets should end their partnership with Citi,” Williams insisted.  Breitbart writer Warner Todd Huston made an excellent point when he wrote that New York has much more serious problems than the oil industry. Williams would do better to focus on the Big Apple’s soaring crime.  Rape is up almost 11 percent. Robberies have increased by 32.4 percent, burglaries up 29 percent and grand larceny is up 38.5 percent.  The Mets themselves can't seem to keep pitchers healthy -- but lefties will probably think of some way to blame that on climate change. Nevertheless, Citibank might be going squishy on this manufactured “crisis.” A spokesman stated the bank recognizes the importance of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.   Williams has not offered a solution or a new name for the Mets’ stadium. If there is going to be a stadium name change … “Grand Larceny Stadium” does have a ring to it. 

New Bragg Letter on Trump Indictment Accuses House Republicans of Collaborating with Trump to ‘Vilify’ Prosecutors and Judges

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) again pushed back against House Republicans’ efforts to investigate his prosecution of President Trump, with his office sending a scathing letter Friday morning boasting about his indictment of Trump and accusing them of “collaborat(ing) with Mr. Trump’s efforts to vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and trial judges and made unfounded allegations that the Office’s investigation, conducted via an independent grand jury of average citizens serving New York State, is politically motivated.”

The letter is the latest in a back and forth between House Committee Chairmen Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Justice; Rep. Brian Steil (R-WI), Administration and Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Oversight.

Excerpts:

Dear Chairman Jordan, Chairman Steil, and Chairman Comer:
Yesterday, the District Attorney of New York County filed charges against Donald Trump for violations of New York law.1 The charges filed yesterday were brought by citizens of New York, doing their civic duty as members of a grand jury, who found probable cause to accuse Mr. Trump of having committed crimes in New York.

Like any other defendant, Mr. Trump is entitled to challenge these charges in court and avail himself of all processes and protections that New York State’s robust criminal procedure affords. What neither Mr. Trump nor Congress may do is interfere with the ordinary course of proceedings in New York State. Your first letter made an unprecedented request to the District Attorney for confidential information about the status of the state grand jury investigation—now indictment— of Mr. Trump. Your second letter asserts that, by failing to provide it, the District Attorney somehow failed to dispute your baseless and inflammatory allegations that our investigation is politically motivated. That conclusion is misleading and meritless. We did not engage in a point-by-point rebuttal of your letter because our Office is legally constrained in how it publicly discusses pending criminal proceedings, as prosecutorial offices are across the country and as you well know. That secrecy is critical to protecting the privacy of the target of any criminal investigation as well as the integrity of the independent grand jury’s proceedings.2

Skip rebuttals. Subjects: The Committees Lack Jurisdiction to Oversee a State Criminal Prosecution, The Committees’ Vague and Shifting Legislative Purpose is Insufficient and The DA’s Office Uses Limited Federal Funds to Effectively Fight Crime & Help Victims

Finally, as you are no doubt aware, former President Trump has directed harsh invective against District Attorney Bragg and threatened on social media that his arrest or indictment in New York may unleash “death & destruction.” As Committee Chairmen, you could use the stature of your office to denounce these attacks and urge respect for the fairness of our justice system and for the work of the impartial grand jury. Instead, you and many of your colleagues have chosen to collaborate with Mr. Trump’s efforts to vilify and denigrate the integrity of elected state prosecutors and trial judges and made unfounded allegations that the Office’s investigation, conducted via an independent grand jury of average citizens serving New York State, is politically motivated. See, e.g., Annie Grayer et al., Inside the backchannel communications keeping Donald Trump in the loop on Republican investigations, CNN.com (March 28, 2023), https://tinyurl.com/mr3n675p (“House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik . . . and Trump spoke several times last week alone, where she walked him through the GOP’s plans for an aggressive response to Bragg.”). We urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information, and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference.

If you will not withdraw your request, we reiterate our willingness to meet and confer with you or your staff about how we can accommodate your request without violating our obligations as prosecutors to protect the integrity of an ongoing criminal prosecution. We respectfully request that you provide us with a list of questions you wish to ask District Attorney Bragg and to describe the type of documents you think we could produce that would be relevant to your inquiry without violating New York grand jury secrecy rules or interfering with the criminal case now before a court. We trust you will make a good-faith effort to reach a negotiated resolution before taking the unprecedented and unconstitutional step of serving a subpoena on a district attorney for information related to an ongoing state criminal prosecution.

Respectfully Submitted,
Leslie B. Dubeck
General Counsel

WAYNE ROOT: I’ve Been Calling for a “National Divorce” for Two Years. Here’s How to Make It Happen Quickly.

By Wayne Allyn Root

For two years now I’ve been calling for a “National Divorce.”

I warned Democrats were crazed suicide bombers intent on destroying America, American exceptionalism, and the American Dream. I warned this was a communist takeover. I warned about the weaponization of the government. I warned about the end of free speech. I warned about where this was headed. That was BEFORE the crazy radical left actually indicted President Donald J. Trump.

Now do you understand?

The indictment of Trump is your wakeup call. We cannot live with these people. They are a combination of Soviet Gulag, East German Stasi and Nazi Gestapo. They are intolerant communist tyrants obsessed with controlling your life and eliminating dissent.

Recently high-profile Republicans have followed my lead. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene made headlines with her calls for a “National Divorce.” Now multi-millionaire CEO and GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has mentioned the need for a “National Divorce.”

Welcome to “Wayne’s World.” It’s about time.

It’s been clear to me for years now that we cannot live with Democrats any longer (ie crazed, radical, extreme, America-hating, white race-hating, wealth-hating, capitalism-hating, police-hating, military-hating, man-hating, woke, communist, globalist, transgender-obsessed, SUICIDE BOMBERS.

I’ve been warning loudly about this for years: These people on the left are crazy, dangerous and extreme. And they’re clearly not going to rest until they crash our economy; destroy the greatest middle class in world history; remove free speech; take away our freedom; and make us all serfs and slaves to Big Brother.

My latest book was just released. It’s titled, “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book.” https://www.amazon.com/Great-Patriot-BUY-cott-Book-Conservative/dp/099173372X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1676215826&sr=8-1

It explains what’s going on in America today in detail. We are experiencing a communist takeover. A communist “Color Revolution.” The people in power are not “Democrats, liberals, progressives, or even socialists.” These are full blown communist tyrants.

Socialism is an evil economic system. But communism is about banning; silencing dissent; government propaganda; government partnership with the media; weaponization of government against political opponents; a biased two-tiered justice system; FBI raids on peaceful protestors; raids on the former president’s home; and now indicting the presidential frontrunner (the biggest threat to their continued power) on bogus charges. This is full blown communism. This is Stalin. And yes, I’m a Jew. I can say it. This is the Gestapo.

What were Trump’s crimes? Here’s what Democrats were so angry about…

Trump created the greatest economy of my lifetime. Everyone had a job. He produced the lowest black and Latino unemployment in history. The highest middle class income growth in history. Small business thrived, which led to the highest approval for a president from small business owners in history. Manufacturing was reborn. Inflation was near zero. Interest rates were rock bottom low. The stock market and real estate flourished. The border was secure. We experienced peace around the globe. Trump made America great again.

Those were his crimes.

That’s why Democrats hate him so much. That’s why they are obsessed to the point of mental illness with “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Because he succeeded and the left was humiliated. He proved conservative, capitalist, nationalist, MAGA, America First policies work. If Trump was allowed to have a 2nd term (either in 2020, or 2024) and finished the job, Democrats may have never gained power again.

Where do we go from here? We have to get away from insane, radical suicide bombers who believe in evil policies like open borders; waving in millions of illegal aliens, thereby creating a dependent welfare state; transgender ideology taught to little children; critical race theory (white hate); defund the police; reparations; Central Bank Digital Currency combined with a Social Credit System; a World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty that will lead to foreigners enforcing lockdowns and experimental vaccines on American citizens; the purposeful destruction of the energy industry; future climate change lockdowns; criminalizing free speech and dissent; and an economy based on “equity, social justice, rainbow flags and obsession with transgender rights.” Those are just a few examples of the radical madness they want to impose upon us.

I repeat- we need to get away. We need to separate. We need a “National Divorce.” The question is how?

I have a quick, simple and easy way to start the process that we can carry out from the safety of our living room, or kitchen table. It’s all explained in my latest book, “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book.” We start by building a “Parallel Conservative Economy.” In short, conservatives and patriots take our massive spending power and only spend and invest with companies that are run by conservatives, patriots, Christians and people of faith.

In other words, we FUND the conservative economy and we DEFUND the leftist, woke economy.

We build a separate economy, a conservative eco-system. We reward and enrich those on the right. We punish and bankrupt the evil woke communists on the left who are currently using our money to destroy America and the great American middle class.

In “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book” we identify the 123 most conservative patriotic companies in America that you can proudly buy from and invest in- without sacrificing your values, or funding the destruction of everything we believe in.

By the way, one of these wonderful, courageous, patriotic, pro-American companies included in our book is…TheGatewayPundit!

A ”National Divorce” is complicated and will take many years to achieve. It may never officially happen. But our idea for a “Parallel Conservative Economy” is the way to achieve an unofficial national divorce. It’s a simple, easy start.

Call it a “Quickie Divorce.”

USA Today Victim Switcharoo: ‘Far-Right Rhetoric Against Trans Community’

USA Today has a “week in extremism” recurring feature, written by someone named Will Carless (I bet is says that on the vanity plate on his bicycle). Really, it should be called the “week in scary white guys.” Aside from the odd mention of Antifa, the articles read like SPLC fundraising emails. It sure ain’t journalism. Case in point: The March 31 piece tells us there’s “More trans hatred after shooting,” and that “Rhetoric against trans community sharpens.” Oh those poor dears. You just knew this was coming: a marginalized, suffering gender saint couldn’t take it any more and murdered six people, and those right-wingers pounce! Carless writes that “For more than a year now, perhaps the single issue that has most unified far-right extremists in America is that of rights for transgender people.” And who knows, maybe it has. But I get the feeling that “hate” for Carless is rather different from what it is to you or I.  Believing biology: not hatred. Refusing to countenance drag queens bumping and grinding on 3rd-graders: not hatred. Objecting to mentally disturbed adolescents undertaking dangerous and often irreversible medical treatments: not hatred. Calling for violence and threatening violence is hate. Shooting up a Christian school? Hatred. Murdering 9 year-olds and teachers and janitors: hatred. But rest assured, "the anti-trans rhetoric hit new levels this week when police stated the assailant in a Nashville school shooting Monday – in which three small children and three adults died – identified as transgender."  Damn those police for identifying the murderer! It throws the whole narrative off. But it was very brave of Carless to mention the dead kids. Hope he hasn’t jeopardized his job. So what’s the anti-trans extremism that has Carless wetting himself? Well, nothing much, really. ”Extremist influencers like Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Fox News host Tucker Carlson both honed [sic] in on the shooter's gender identity, with Taylor Greene earning a brief suspension from Twitter for her comments." Neither he nor the article he links to bother to say what Greene tweeted. Guess we have to take his word for it. “On Tuesday, Carlson called trans people the ‘Natural enemy’ of Christianity. Maybe a stupid thing to say, but they were still mopping up the blood inside the Covenant School.  That’s about all Carless has except for vague stuff about “right-wing personalities” “cheering on anti-trans hate” and a super-ninja, ultimate weapon “fact-check”: “Mass shootings by trans individuals are extremely rare.” BOOM!  Funny that a wrap-up of the week’s extremism doesn’t mention an event originally scheduled for this Saturday:  

Morning Joke! Scarborough Calls DeSantis an Anti-Semite for Saying Manhattan DA 'Soros-Backed'

Don’t criticize leftist billionaire George Soros’ agenda to overhaul the criminal justice system or you’re an anti-Semite! At least, that’s the ridiculous pejorative that MSNBC host Joe Scarbough hurled at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R). Scarborough railed at DeSantis’ tweet signaling that he would not be cooperating with “Soros-backed” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the extradition of former President Donald Trump following his vendetta to indict him on dubious legal grounds. Scarborough, apparently ignorant of the fact that Soros himself made his agenda to elect leftist prosecutors across the country widely known, set up a strawman argument by arbitrarily making DeSantis’ criticism seem like a swipe at Soros’ race. “It’s just Jews. They’re attacking Jewish, international bankers. It’s what anti-Semites have been doing for hundreds of years — attacking Jewish, international bankers,” Scarborough spewed on the March 31 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe.  Scarborough repeated himself like a broken record and used an overused left-wing strategy by likening DeSantis to Nazis: “That’s what they do. They try to blame everything on Jewish international bankers. It’s Germany 1933.” MRC Business Vice President Dan Schneider, who is Jewish, ripped Scarborough apart on Twitter for his senseless comparison of DeSantis to Nazi Germany: “@JoeNBC diminishes the evilness of the holocaust and anti-Semitism by blabbering such [treif]. THAT is evil.” Schneider later said in a follow-up statement: “Scarborough diminishing the evils of anti-Semitism this way is anti-Semitism. I call on him to apologize to all Jews.” The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is… — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) March 30, 2023 What’s ironic is that Scarborough made this asinine assertion with leftist Rev. Al Sharpton on the MSNBC panel with him.  Sharpton is notorious for spewing anti-Semitic comments in the past. Former Washington Examiner executive editor Philip Klein noted that Sharpton rushed to defend a leftist New York City City College Professor in 1991 who reportedly gave a controversial speech blasting “‘rich Jews.’” Sharpton reportedly declared in the midst of the controversy: “‘If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.’” The Washington Free Beacon reported in Oct. 26, 2022 that Sharpton helped inflame “the Crown Heights riots of August 1991, one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history.”  But to Scarborough, DeSantis simply criticizing Soros for using his enormous influence to further his soft-on-crime agenda — which in practice has led to significant spikes in urban crime rates — makes DeSantis an anti-Semite. George Soros donated $1,000,000 to the racially-charged, defund-the-police group Color of Change PAC on May 14, 2021. Just a few days prior to Soros’ donation, Color of Change PAC announced it would spend $1 million to help elect radical leftist Alvin Bragg, who would later win his race for Manhattan, New York District Attorney in November 2021. Color of Change PAC would later rescind half of that amount after “disturbing” allegations were made against Bragg by an unnamed woman, according to Daily Mail.  With Al Sharpton sitting right there. Just perfection. https://t.co/BocXfuGOEa — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) March 31, 2023 Soros bragged in a July 31, 2022 op-ed how he “supported the election (and more recently the re-election) of prosecutors who support reform. I have done it transparently, and I have no intention of stopping.” Soros sneered that “[j]udging by the results, the public likes what it’s hearing.” He continued: “This agenda, aiming at both safety and justice, is based on both common sense and evidence. It’s popular. It’s effective.”  Conservatives are under attack. Contact MSNBC at (800) 952-5210 demand it stop shilling for George Soros.

Trump Lawyer: No Plea Deal in Case Related to Stormy Daniels ‘Hush Payment’ (VIDEO)

Trump will not take a plea deal in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case, according to the former president’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

Trump has been accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Joe Tacopina.

A Manhattan Grand Jury voted to indict President Trump anyway.

The indictment is currently under seal, however, according to a leak to CNN, President Trump was hit with 34 counts related to business fraud.

Details of the charges are still not known.

Per CBS: “Sources familiar with the investigation tell CBS tonight that Bragg has some documents that have been uncovered during the probe but are not yet known to the public/been reported, both financial records and communications between key figures… will use these as well as testimony”

“I’m the Expert, I Have a PHD!” – Based Audience Laughs at Clueless Professor After He Whiffs on Basic Gender Question from Swimmer Riley Gaines (VIDEO)

Vince Coglianese Twitter

A University of Pittsburgh audience laughed at an anthropology professor named Gabby Yearwood after he whiffed on a simple biology question from former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines.

The March 27th event was sponsored by Turning Point USA, which is supporting Gaines in her quest to save women’s sports from the radical LGBTQ left.

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Gaines became a national figure after she called out biological male William “Lia” Thomas for participating in female sports.

Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman. The @ncaa is responsible.

If I was a woman working at ESPN, I would walk out. You're spineless @espn #boycottESPN https://t.co/DF3n5RWsmV

— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_) March 26, 2023

Gaines asked Yearwood if he would be able to tell the difference between male and female bones should he dig them up 100 years from now.

If you were to dig up two humans 100 years from now, both a man and a woman, would you be able to tell the difference strictly off of bones?

Yearwood answered no. The audience then laughed right in his face.

WATCH:

.⁦@Riley_Gaines_⁩ to anthropologist: "If you were to dig up… 2 humans… 100 years from now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference, strictly off of bones?"

"No."

*CHAOS*

— Vince Coglianese (@VinceCoglianese) March 30, 2023

Yearwood was completely stunned by the reaction, believing the kids in the room must be mistaken since he is a so-called expert.

I’m not sure why I’m being laughed at if I’m the expert in the room.

Have any of you been to anthropological sites? Have any of you studied biological anthropology? I’m just saying, I’ve got over 150 years of data, I’m just curious as to why I’m being laughed at.

If only there were a way to tell male and female bones apart.

There's just no way to tell… pic.twitter.com/Ha8BoY5DdT

— Vince Coglianese (@VinceCoglianese) March 30, 2023

Gaines told the Daily Wire after her exchange with Yearwood that she was “setting him up” because she knew the anthropology professor would whiff on this simple question.

Every single rational person knows the answer: men have narrower hips, their skulls are different, they have an extra rib, their femurs are longer, their jaws are different.

When he said ‘No,’ it just highlighted that even someone with a PhD was willing to lie to virtue signal or to put off this perception that sex is a social construct, which we know is not the case.

All you need is a fifth-grade biology education to understand that men and women are different.

Perhaps there is still hope for the next generation of Americans with people like Gaines leading the way.

Trans Day of Vengeance Protest at Supreme Court Canceled Over Safety Concerns; Other ‘Queer and Trans Youth’ Marches Still on for Friday

The organizer of the Trans Day of Vengeance protest scheduled for Saturday at the Supreme Court announced Thursday night the protest has been canceled “due to a credible threat to life and safety” in the wake of the deadly attack on a Christian school in Nashville by a deranged transgender shooter. Meanwhile protests called “March for Queer and Trans Youth Autonomy” are still on for Friday at the Capitol and locations around the country.

Reporting on the Trans Day of Vengeance was censored by Twitter, but not the promotion of the protest by the organizer. Numerous conservative accounts were suspended this week for reporting on or posting this image posted by the organizer:

Our Rights DC posted to Twitter:

“This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety. The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting…Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subjected to highly serious threats and blamed only because of their gender identity. This is one of the steps in genocide, and we will continue our efforts to protect trans lives…While we wholeheartedly believe in the mission and message we put forth for trans day of vengeance, we must prioritize the safety of our community and the people that make it up…In an ideal world we would have continued on in defiance of the attempt to silence our right to free expression. However, we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it…In our continued efforts to preserve trans and non binary life we have notified the appropriate agencies.”

After Three Years, I Finally Caught COVID

When I swallow, knives cut my throat. I cough and sometimes can't stop. That's frightening. I caught COVID. Dodged it three years. But this week, I suddenly felt lousy, and a home test said: "positive." The thermometer said: 101.8. No big deal, I thought. Almost everyone gets COVID. Lots of people say it's no worse than a cold. I'm multi-vaccinated and boosted. My fever's not super high. I'm fit. This will give me a chance to lie around. But then came the knives to my throat, and the cough that makes it hard to breathe. Darn. This is much worse than any flu I've had. I feel miserable. It hurts so much to talk that I just text. I think, "COVID still kills several hundred Americans every day." Will I be one? I do feel like I might die. But COVID mostly kills old people. Wait, that's me! Actually, I'm very old. 76. I didn't think about being so old last week when I rode my bike and played volleyball. I felt like a kid. Now everything is different. Half of American men don't even make it to 73. I forget that when I feel good. I check what hospital I should go to if I have trouble breathing. My doctor calls in a Paxlovid prescription. Day 2 Paxlovid leaves a nasty metallic taste. Someone is mining silver in my mouth. Ibuprofen knocked my fever down, but it's still above normal. The knives and strangling cough are still there. Will I die? Short of that, will I have to go to the emergency room? Will they put me on a ventilator? I'm scared of that. I shouldn't have looked it up on Google. Google makes everything scarier. Will I get long COVID? Have brain fog? Get COVID pneumonia? I've got to stop Googling. But at least I'm not getting worse. Day 4 I'm getting better! Crisis over! Every swallow still hurts, but my cough no longer scares me. I no longer fear I'm going to die. Thank you, Paxlovid! Was it Paxlovid that made the difference? No way to know. But three cheers for America's much-vilified free market. Pfizer invented and produced this drug in just a year. Pfizer did tests in which Paxlovid reduced deaths so much that the company was advised to stop the clinical trials and just give subjects the drug. Still, the Food and Drug Administration wouldn't let the rest of us take it for another three months. Government kills people by delaying approval of life-saving drugs. Yes, we want to be sure any new drug is safe, and delaying months is a big improvement over the 10 years they usually take. But it's still too long! My brother's potentially life-saving drug, gelsolin, has been inching through the review process for almost 10 years. The FDA's delays are a reason drugs cost so much. At least during the pandemic, the FDA loosened regulations to get some medicines to people faster. Great. But of course, once government is involved with anything, lots of things become more difficult. Health and Human Services decided that they would distribute the pills. One result: I can't get Paxlovid delivered from my local pharmacy. CVS says it delivers, but their phone system hangs up when I ask for that. I send my son to pick it up. The cost? Zero dollars, proudly printed on the label. When government pays for things, common sense often goes away. Paxlovid comes with 19 pages of detailed ... instructions? There is nonsense like "important notice related to privacy," telling me to sign and return a paper to CVS acknowledging "I have received CVS/Pharmacy Notice of Privacy." That's another government complication, a HIPAA privacy rule. Government's obsession with paperwork and rules deters medical research and forces all of us to lie, (c'mon, you've done it), claiming we read fine print almost no one reads. I'm glad I'm not dead. I'm grateful to Pfizer for creating Paxlovid. I'm grateful I live in America. But more and more, I hate the intrusions of our ever-growing government.

ROASTED: Dad Rips School Board To Shreds Over ‘Sexual Fantasy’ Assignment

A few weeks ago word broke that a high school teacher in Eugene, Oregon, assigned students an activity entitled, “Fantasy Story.” The assignment, given by Churchill High School teacher Kirk Miller, told students to write about a sexual fantasy that didn’t involve having sex, and included the following instructions: For those students who were absent, you will write a short story of a paragraph or two. This story is a sexual fantasy that will have NO penetration of any kind of oral sex (no way of passing an STI). You will choose 3 items (romantic music, candles, massage oil, feather, feather boa, flavored syrup, etc.) to use in your story. Your story should show that you can show and receive loving physical affection without having sex. And parents were pissed.  First of all, ew. Second of all, why!? Justin McCall, one of the students' fathers, went before the district school board to condemn the assignment and point out how perverted and inappropriate it was, saying that his 10th grade daughter also told him about another assignment the teacher gave in which students were presented with a game wheel made up of sections titled, “anal penetration, oral sex, licking of ear [and] kissing.” The students were reportedly then told to write the initial of a boy or girl that they’d like to experience these sexual acts with.  To make matters worse, McCall's daughter did the assignment so she could get a good grade, but her father said she never got it back.  “Where is the assignment? Why hasn’t she had it turned back to her with her grade on it? What is he doing with it? Is this for his spank bank?” McCall demanded. If these allegations are true, it sounds to me like this teacher is the definition of a groomer. As a matter of fact, the father even went so far as to say the teacher “verbally sexually abused” the students with these assignments.  In the last few weeks, other parents have come forward with complaints about the content being distributed in their school districts. One mother explained how her child was given a book in which the main character got “a boner” and was “turned on” from getting beaten up.  Amid all this controversy, the Eugene 4J School District superintendent claimed these were mere “shortcomings” and that they’d work on fixing “inadequate oversight." Miller has since been put on administrative leave, according to a report from Fox News.  While this teacher and the fact that this happened in a school classroom is disgusting, this is the culture the left is promoting. This is what they want. The left, in partnership with the media (considering this story likely won’t even reach legacy outlets) is working overtime to encourage hypersexualized environments for kids and is allowing teachers to actively - and in some cases, legally - groom students. 

'Merry Christmas,' Late Night Hosts Celebrate Trump's Indictment

For the late night comedy show hosts and their audiences, the Thursday indictment of former President Trump was more of a chance to enjoy a cathartic experience than anything else. However, buried beneath their joy was the sense that they haven’t completely thought through the ramifications. CBS’s Stephen Colbert could not contain his glee as he opened The Late Show, “Ladies and gentlemen today I'm feeling a little extra American. One reason, today is baseball's Opening Day! Here in New York—here in New York—here in New York it was 40 degrees, but I still ate ice cream out of a baseball helmet. Why? Oh, just a little something worth celebrating today because literally three minutes before I walked out on this stage here, the New York Times reported a New York grand jury voted to indict former President Donald J. Trump.”     Colbert was so happy that he broke his self-imposed embargo on mentioning Trump’s name. After over 30 seconds of cheering from the audience during which he did eat ice cream out of a baseball helmet, Colbert declared, “he was right, we're finally saying Merry Christmas again!” It’s wasn’t the first time Colbert invoked Christmas when discussing Trump’s legal situation, but things then got weird as Colbert shared too much personal information “We'll have more on this story, as soon as I am able to talk about it with the camera shooting it from the waist down.”     Over at ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! the eponymous host was also in baseball state-of-mind, “And this is only the warmup indictment. Lady Justice, right, she’s getting loose in the bullpen right now. We'll bring her in the ninth to close it out with insurrection and treason.” As for Trump’s supporters, Kimmel claimed, “It’s like an entire political movement made up of those women who mail their underwear to Ted Bundy. The grand jury, you know, they didn’t even ask permission, they moved on Trump like a witch.”     Trump also claims the grand jury is treating him like a witch, so it’s probably not the great analogy Kimmel thinks it is. Meanwhile, Comedy Central The Daily Show temp host John Leguizamo was letting his audience enjoy their own 30-odd second standing ovation when he declared that, “Lady Justice grabbed Trump by the pussy. And you know, I take a firm stance against mass incarceration, okay? But for this, I am willing to make an exception. I just hope they take it easy on him and put him at least in a cell with his lawyer.”     Leguizamo added “Now I know we are all hoping to see him put in handcuffs but we don't know how it's all going to go down. The report is that they're going to try to negotiate his surrender either that or they’ll leave a trail of Big Macs leading to the prison.” Later, Leguizamo was interviewing Rep. Ritchie Torres, who claimed Trump is “like the Al Capone of American politics.” Probably not wise to admit you’re throwing charges against the wall and seeing which one will stick. NBC The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon opened his show by proclaiming “Well, guys, it finally happened, a New York grand jury has voted to indict former President Trump for his role in a hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels. When she heard, Stormy Daniels was like, "Oh, so this is what it feels like to be satisfied.”  Fallon proceeded to play a parody of “I’m So Excited” with several clips of Trump being mashed together to get “I’m So Indicted.” As for the other late night hosts, James Corden did not discuss the news and Seth Meyers had already taped when the news came down with Late Night tweeting a meme of Meyers lamenting the timing. These segments were sponsored by Liberty Mutual, Lexus, Booking.com, and, GoDaddy respectively. Here are transcripts for the March 30 shows: CBS The Late Show with Stephen Colbert 3/30/2023 11:37 PM ET STEPHEN COLBERT: Ladies and gentlemen today I'm feeling a little extra American.

Trump.  Oh! Oh! Come on! Come on! Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen! It's right, he was-- ladies and gentlemen, he was right, we 're finally saying Merry Christmas again! This is— LOUIS CATO: Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! COLBERT: And you know what, I didn’t know this would be coming, I thought maybe it would never come, I used to think what does it matter if it came? I didn't know it would feel this good!  CATO: Come on! COLBERT: This is good-- this is good news for everybody, even him! He now gets to join his J6 prison choir! You know, they're number one on iTunes, baby!  And you know what, he should see whether that grand jury will cut him a check for $130,000, because he is so screwed. Oh. We'll have more on this story, as soon as I am able to talk about it with the camera shooting it from the waist down. *** ABC Jimmy KImmel Live! 3/30/2023 11:40 PM ET JIMMY KIMMEL: And this is only the warmup indictment. Lady Justice, right, she’s getting loose in the bullpen right now. We'll bring her in the ninth to close it out with insurrection and treason, but his next move will, of course, be to try to start another riot to get people to demonstrate on his behalf. Only Donald Trump can have supporters so crazy we have to seriously consider whether or not being charged with a crime is good for him. It’s like an entire political movement made up of those women who mail their underwear to Ted Bundy. The grand jury, you know, they didn’t even ask permission, they moved on Trump like a witch. He's going to be arrested. He will be fingerprinted and he will be read his Miranda Rights. Wait until he'll find out all this time he got to remain silent, he’s going to kick himself. *** Comedy Central The Daily Show 3/30/2023 11:01 PM ET JOHN LEGUIZAMO: John: Yeah! Whoo! That's right! I lost my chair.

LEGUIZAMO: -- has been voted to be indicted by a grand jury. First president to be indicted, former first president to be indicted. What are your thoughts?  RITCHIE TORRES: Well, Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he's been "Indicated" rather than indicted, but— LEGUIZAMO: Of course. No spell-check for the president.  TORRES: He probably should have ChatGPT help put that together tweets, but I don’t— LEGUIZAMO: I know.  TORRES: You know, Donald Trump has been a pathological liar and lawbreaker his whole life and has gotten away with it.  LEGUIZAMO: Oh, yeah.  TORRES: Like, he is a master of getting away with it and finally he is facing the accountability he deserves. But –  LEGUIZAMO: I want to see that perp walk, I'm dying for that, that's the only thing I want to see.  TORRES: But, I will confess, of all the crimes that he’s committed in his life, I never thought of my wildest dreams that he would be taken down by hush payments to a porn star. I mean that's— LEGUIZAMO: Right, right, true that, true that.  TORRES: So, he’s like the Al Capone of American politics.  *** NBC The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon 3/30/2023 11:35 PM ET JIMMY FALLON: Well, guys, it finally happened, a New York grand jury has voted to indict former President Trump for his role in a hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels.

“Grandma of the Police Officers Association” in California Arrested for Importing Fentanyl From China and Other Countries

As the drug crisis in America rages on as opioids and fentanyl pour across our unsecured border from the Mexican drug cartels supplied by Chinese “pharmaceuticals,” an unsuspecting trafficker has emerged.

San Jose Police Officers Association police union executive Joanne Marian Segovia was arrested on Wednesday for attempting to import a synthetic opioid called Valeryl fentanyl.  If convicted, she faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

Police union president Sean Pritchard told the New York Post that Segovia was like “the grandma of the POA…this is not the person we’ve known, the person who has worked with fallen officers’ families, organized fundraisers for officers’ kids…”

Segovia was allegedly importing packages of drugs from China, Canada, India and other countries and disguising them as common items such as makeup, chocolates, and food supplements.  She has received at least 61 packages at her home from 2015 through 2023.

JUST IN: Executive Director of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association Joanne Marian Segovia charged with IMPORTING fentanyl..

“I also believe the use of the San Jose Police Officers’ Association shipping label indicates that Segovia USED HER OFFICE as part of her purchasing…

— Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) March 31, 2023

The complaint alleges that Segovia even used the POA’s UPS account to make one shipment to someone in North Carolina and continued to import drugs even after being questioned by federal agents in last month.

From the New York Post:

Joanne Marian Segovia, who has worked for the San Jose Police Officers Association since 2003, was charged on Wednesday with attempting to unlawfully import a synthetic opioid called Valeryl fentanyl.

She faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison if convicted, authorities said.

Police union president Sean Pritchard was shocked by the charges, telling NBC Bay Area, “She’s been the grandma of the POA.”

According to the 13-page complaint, the 64-year-old allegedly received at least 61 packages at her San Jose home from various countries — including China, Canada and India — between October 2015 and January 2023.

On Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged that fentanyl is the “single greatest challenge we face as a country” to a Senate panel.  Based on the Mockingbird Media though, and the “insurrection” that took place yesterday in Tennessee’s Capitol, you’d assume it was gun violence, specifically those killed by “assault weapons”.

But the data tells a different story:  according to gunviolencearchive.org, 2022 saw 20,200 deaths from gun violence.  For the purpose of their data, they separate gun violence from suicides, which are consistently higher than deaths from malice or by accident.

Fentanyl deaths alone are responsible for over three times the number of deaths of people maliciously using firearms.  And yet, rather than secure our borders with a $5B border wall to stymie the drugs (and human trafficking) from pouring over, we sent $110B to Ukraine and insist on banning assault weapons…again.

Wisconsin Cyber Security Expert Shocks Audience – Admits Wisconsin’s Voting Machines Can Be Hacked, Compares This to Act of War (VIDEO)

Guest post by Jefferson Davis
Pewaukee – The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this week that the Wisconsin Election Commission and Staff were participating in a minimally publicized “Trusted Election Forum” on the eve of the most historic Supreme Court Race in Wisconsin’s history.

SCANDAL IN WISCONSIN: Democrat SCOTUS Nominee Janet Protasiewicz Used the N-Word When Referring to Blacks in Court Cases

The Supreme Court Race will determine the control of the Court that currently consists of 3 constitutional conservatives, 3 radical liberal progressives and one swing vote that rules with the conservatives the majority of the time.
With constitutional conservative Justice Roggensack retiring, it is critical that this open seat be filled with another constitutional conservative in the form of Justice Dan Kelly (2016-20) who is running an excellent campaign under very trying circumstances as the Big Tech Billionaires and their friends are funneling millions of dollars into the race to further their efforts of the “great reset” for America by hopefully winning this key race.
Radical liberal progressive candidate, No Jailtime Janet Protasiewicz, continues her attack on shredding the constitution and judicial ethical standards by promising to legislate from the bench, if by a miracle she is elected to the Supreme Court in Wisconsin, that will automatically unwind many of the highly successful legislative reforms passed in Wisconsin since 2010.
The Wisconsin Election Commission and Staff rarely, if ever, make public appearances unless the event is highly controlled and scripted by limiting their exposure to the public.
The administration of Wisconsin elections has come under very heavy scrutiny since 2020 when the Presidential election was supposedly decided by 20,682 votes with a middle of the night voter dump.  The Gateway Pundit has disclosed many of those highly questionable aspects of that election.

Fun Fraud Fact: Wisconsin Added 29% of Their ENTIRE VOTING POPULATION to Voter Rolls in 10 Months Prior to 2020 Election — 957,977 New Names!

It came as a huge surprise then and the timing was highly questionable, when it was learned that the Wisconsin Election Commission and Staff would appear with a group of expert election panelists earlier this week at two “Trusted Election Forums” after assuring Wisconsin voters for over two years how safe and secure elections were administered, especially on the eve of the April 4th statewide election.
To the shock and amazement of attendees, near the end of the forum, a widely respected and highly credentialed cyber security election expert domiciled in Wisconsin, Dave Schroeder, finally disclosed, after many years of direct and indirect denials by Wisconsin election administrators, that Wisconsin voting machines can be hacked and that this could be considered an “act of war”.
Schroeder’s background involves Wisconsin Army National Guard Cyber Warfare and an Information Warfare Officer with the Navy for Cryptologic Warfare and Space Cadre.
Schroeder went on to compare these hacks as a threat to the national critical infrastructure of America similar to attacks on the power grid, ports and dams.
Schroeder concluded that America’s “constitutional federal republic” is under threat from foreign forces.
How refreshing that someone finally states the obvious regarding voting machines in Wisconsin.
Let’s hope the legislators in Wisconsin are listening and will immediately ask to meet with Dave Schroeder to learn how the machines can be hacked, to see if they have been hacked and what can be done to implement election integrity firewalls for all Wisconsin voters.
A 4-minute video of Schroeder’s admission that Wisconsin’s voting machines can be hacked is below.

OUTSTANDING! Kari Lake Appears to Take Swipe at Ron DeSantis After His Statement on Trump Indictment Doesn’t Mention Trump by Name

Kari Lake spoke out yesterday against the indictment and political persecution of President Donald J. Trump and later appeared to take a shot at Ron DeSantis for his smugness on the issue.

Lake tweeted last night, “if your consultants are going to write a statement about President Trump being indicted, please make sure they have the decency to use his name.”

She did not call DeSantis out by name, which is fitting given the circumstances.

As The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued a statement on the reported indictment of President Trump by a Manhattan grand jury in the alleged Stormy Daniels hush money probe–but didn’t even mention Trump by name.

“Florida will Not Assist in an Extradition Request” DeSantis Statement on Trump Indictment

He likely did not mention President Trump because the negative media coverage continues to help Trump’s favorability.

Lake also tweeted a meme of President Trump laughing at the newspapers for their backfired attempts to destroy his image.

Previously “Ron DeSanctimonious” took a swipe at President Trump after finally responding to reports that a corrupt Soros-backed DA who lets criminals go in New York was planning on arresting President Trump on bogus charges–two days later. Many thought it was tacky and uncalled for, and ever since Ron did this, he has lost respect and is sinking in the polls.

His response to federal thugs coming into his state of Florida to arrest President Trump was four lines–enough to fit in one tweet.

Compare this to the statement by Kari Lake, who wrote a whole page, defending “the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump,” and slamming the deep state for targeting an innocent man.

“You want to beat President Donald Trump? Get more votes than him in November 2024… I unequivocally stand beside President Donald J. Trump and in defense of the rule of law,” said Lake.

“The Only Crime That Donald Trump Committed was Beating Hillary Clinton” – Kari Lake Speaks Out Against SHAM Trump Indictment

Unlike Ron, Kari Lake has faced stolen elections, genuine mainstream media harassment, and threats of political persecution. She understands what they are doing to President Trump because she’s been through it all!

Ron DeSantis recently sat down with Newsmax host Eric Bolling and said he is not interested in being Vice President, stating, “I think I’m probably more of an executive guy.” President Trump put the idea to bed last Friday, telling Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt that he’s never even thought about picking DeSantis as a running mate and “that would be a very unlikely alliance.”

Kari Lake would be a much better choice for a running mate if the corrupt courts refuse to do the right thing and overturn the stolen election for Arizona Governor. According to the recent CPAC 2023 straw poll, Conservatives agree!
