The Gateway Pundit reported that Marxist tyrant New York AG Letitia James recently notified pro-life pregnancy centers in the state of possible lawsuits over allegedly misleading statements about ‘abortion pill reversal’ (APR) protocols.
On April 22, James’ office sent “Notice of Intention to Sue” threat letters to at least a dozen pregnancy help organizations that offer or share information about the APR protocol. The centers were given just five days to respond.
A collective of pregnancy help organizations are now suing the AG to block the threatened prosecutions.
Several pro-life pregnancy help organizations, represented by Thomas More Society, filed suit against the AG to block the threatened prosecutions.
Thomas More Society attorneys are requesting court intervention against the Attorney General’s threatened legal action, to safeguard the constitutional rights of Heartbeat International and the collective of pregnancy help organizations—many of which are part of Heartbeat International’s Abortion Pill Rescue® Network, or otherwise provide information about APR. At its core, James’ threatened litigation seeks to illegally silence Heartbeat International and its network member organizations from sharing their science-based, life-affirming message about the benefits, success, effectiveness, and safety of APR.
On May 24, 2024, James’s effort to relocate the lawsuit against her from its Rochester venue to New York County Court in Manhattan, where the atmosphere is more likely tto be friendly to her Marxist ways, was rejected by New York Supreme Court Justice Sam Valleriani.
Valleriani issued the consolidation order on May 24, 2024, to combine a lawsuit brought by James against pregnancy help organizations in Manhattan, New York, with the previously filed case brought by the organizations in Rochester’s Monroe County Court.
Peter Breen, Thomas More Society executive vice president and head of litigation said, “For the past month, Letitia James has tried to illegally frighten and harass New York’s pregnancy help organizations into silence, threatening them with lawsuits if they keep speaking their truthful message about Abortion Pill Reversal. We brought suit in Rochester, near to where most of the organizations are headquartered and work.”
Breen continued, “Instead of agreeing to a convenient venue, James then sued these charitable organizations in Manhattan, despite the fact that not a single one of the organizations is located there. We are pleased that the court in Monroe County agreed that the cases should be consolidated together and heard in Rochester, the ‘most fair, appropriate and logistically convenient venue,’ and not in Manhattan, which has no connection to the case.”
“We look forward to defending Heartbeat International, CompassCare, and all of New York’s pregnancy help organizations targeted by James’ unconstitutional witch-hunt. New Yorkers deserve to know that Abortion Pill Reversal is not just possible but safe and effective, and our clients have the right to share that truth with women who are undergoing a chemical abortion that they do not want to continue.”

For years, there have been “rumors” that Barack Obama is running the show for Joe Biden from behind the scenes.
Obama once said in a 2020 interview that he would be fine with running an election from his basement with an earpiece in his ear:
Barack Obama: “I used to say, if, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man, a front woman and they had an earpiece in and I was in the basement in my sweats … I’d be fine with that.”
Obama made the appearance on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert and told the far left host that he never wished for a third term, but if he could have had a “stand-in” or a “front-man,” he wouldn’t have minded telling that person what to say.
And, for years there have been rumblings that it is Barack who is behind Joe Biden’s reckless and radical policies.
In March 2024, The New York Times article by Katie Rogers provided groundbreaking insight into Obama’s behind-the-scenes activities, suggesting a direct link between Biden and current actions by the regime to take out President Trump.
This past weekend Barack Obama finally made it official.
Barack Obama came out of the closet and announced Joe Biden’s Israel-Palestinian policy on Friday.
Obama announced Old Joe’s policy positions on Twitter-X. The Democrats don’t even trust Joe Biden to tweet anymore!
Here is the full text:
Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza – a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza.
A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now – and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.
As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home – and around the world – regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support – for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.
Can you imagine any other president allowing one of his predecessors to announce policy positions? Somehow they want us to believe this is business as usual?
Barack is no longer worried about appearances. Everyone knows Joe Biden is a puppet for the radical Communist left.
In fact, this may be one of Barack’s most honest statements since entering politics!

House Speaker Mike Johnson joined Fox Sunday to discuss House Republicans’ plans to investigate Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Special Counsel Jack Smith for targeting political opponents.
It sounds like just more words from Speaker Johnson. We want to see action!
Shannon Bream: Now, I want to ask you about the verdict. Clearly, you think it’s a travesty, as many people do. And I think having watched the trial, there are many grounds, fertile territory for the Trump team to use on appeal, but that’s going to take time. In the meantime, there are a number of Republicans out there saying, You guys need to turn around and do this same thing. John, you’re writing this. Republicans have to bring charges against Democratic officers, even presidents. Only retaliation in kind can produce the deterrence necessary to enforce a political version of mutual assured destruction. The other side, Peggy Newton, writing about how high the temperature is, says this, We have to ease up. We have to stop enjoying our hate so much. We can’t go on indefinitely like this. Are you worried that Republicans will be perceived as doing the very thing you’re accusing Democrats of, of using the legal system for political purposes? If you follow John Hughes’ advice.
Speaker Johnson: Here’s what I believe, Shannon. Listen, we are the rule of law party. Chaos is not a conservative value, and we have to fight back, and we will, with everything in our arsenal. But we do that within the confines of the rule of law. We believe in our institutions. We are Conservatives, and we are trying to conserve the greatest country in the history of the world, and its institutions are an important part of that. Our system of justice is an important part of that.
So what we’ll do with our tools that we have in Congress, in the House, is we’ll use our oversight responsibility. We’ve already done that. You saw our Judiciary Chairman, Jim Jordan, issue requests for Alvin Bragg, the DA in Manhattan, and for the lead prosecutor, Colangelo, to show up for a hearing on June 13th in our Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government because that’s what they’ve done.
And the purpose of the hearing is to investigate what these prosecutors are doing at the state and federal level to use politics, political retribution in the court system to go after political opponents of federal officials like Donald Trump.
That’s a really important thing for us to delve into.
And we’re going to look at special counsel Jack Smith, who we believe is abusing his authority as well. We have the funding streams, we have mechanisms to try to get control of that. We’ll be doing that within the confines of our jurisdiction. I think that can have the desired effect and show the American people we’re not going to tolerate this.
Shannon, at the end of the day, people are losing their faith in our system of justice itself, and that’s a serious threat.
Shannon Bream: Okay, we’re almost out of time, but I want to quickly ask you about something that may need clarification. You said on Friday, you think the Supreme Court should step in. You said, I think that the justice is on the court. I know many of them personally. I think they’re deeply concerned. Now, one of your critics out there, somebody who covers the court with me, part of the Supreme Court press corps, Mark Joseph Stern, wrote this. He It’s fascinating to hear the GOP speaker of the House admit to having private conversations with multiple justices who express concern to him about Trump’s conviction. I’m sure those justices were recused from any eventual appeal to avoid sitting on a case they’ve prejudged. I didn’t take your comments to mean that specific conversation, but I want to give you a chance to clarify.
Speaker Johnson: No, thank you. Of course, I haven’t had conversations with the justices. I just know their character, their personality. I know what they’ve said in the past. They are deeply concerned, as we are, about maintaining our system of justice.
If you walk into the Supreme Court building, Shannon, you and I know chiseled on the marble above the front door is equal justice under law. They are concerned about maintaining that idea. We all are because it’s a necessary ingredient to keep a Constitutional Republic.
That’s what I was referring to. I think they’re concerned about using courtrooms for politics and political retribution. We all are. We all should be. Every American. That’s what I was referring to. I think in their heart of hearts, they’re concerned about it just like we are.

Sad footage has emerged showing how people without homes live in Kamala Harris’s hometown thanks in part to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s catastrophic policies.
As the Daily Mail reported Sunday, Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a sobering video on Friday showing massive wooden temporary houses built by homeless individuals in Oakland.
The homes are built alongside service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland, forming a massive “shantytown.” Huge amounts of garbage can be seen around the homes in Oxford’s video.
Oxford opens the video by welcoming viewers to “Oakland’s Hooverville.” He notes how his mind is blown by the “shantytown” he sees.
“They (homeless people) built houses…Look at all of this, this is absolutely mindboggling,” Oxford says. “It’s insane they (city officials) allow this.”
“It’s Hooverville.”
WATCH:
Parts of Oakland are worse than a third world country.
They just allow people to live in absolute squalor, wherever they choose.
This looks like Hooverville during the great depression.
Welcome to Oakland’s very own Gavinville. pic.twitter.com/L58uK2E6Sh
— Michael Oxford – AKA The Santa Cruz Mountain Goat (@SCMountainGoat) June 1, 2024
Oxford captioned his video by writing that parts of Oakland “are worse than a third-world country” and deeming the area Gavinville.
“Parts of Oakland are worse than a third-world country,” Oxford wrote. “They just allow people to live in absolute squalor wherever they choose.”
“This looks like Hooverville during the Great Depression,” he concluded. “Welcome to Oakland’s very own Gavinville.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported several negative incidents involving Oakland. Just two weeks ago, for example, Oakland city officials decided to take down a traffic light at a busy intersection after homeless people repeatedly stole copper wire from an electrical box that supplied power to the lights.
There has also been a massive surge of beatdowns caught on camera and even boat thefts.
But perhaps the most perfect example of Oakland’s lawlessness was when famous conservative activist Benny Johnson got robbed in broad daylight at an In-N-Out while shooting a video on the restaurant’s closure. This would have been a Babylon Bee headline just a few years ago.
Democrats, however, have managed to make satire a chilling reality.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump attended UFC 302 and was greeted with thunderous applause as he walked into the arena next to President of the UFC Dana White.
Trump was not only applauded by the fans but also received respect from several of the UFC stars on the fight card.
After winning his fight against Paulo Costa via decision, former UFC champion Sean Strickland said he plans to donate to Trump in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.
Strickland stated, “President Trump, you’re the man. It is a d*mn travesty what they are doing to you.”
“I’ll be donating to you, my man,” added Strickland.

Attorney General Merrick Garland has reportedly “classified at the highest level” the audio tapes of Joe Biden’s embarrassing interview with Special Counsel Hur. The tapes have been locked away in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), according to investigative journalist Paul Sperry.
Earlier this year, Washington Post reporter Matt Viser revealed that Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Joe Biden recklessly mishandled sensitive materials discovered at his home and former office.
Disturbingly, the investigation also uncovered that Biden shared government secrets with his ghostwriter, further underscoring his blatant disregard for national security.
Adding to this damning report, it was revealed that during interviews with the Special Counsel, Biden struggled to answer even basic questions, such as when he served as Vice President or the year his son Beau passed away from brain cancer.
However, the DOJ opted not to bring charges against Biden, citing concerns that a jury would deem him too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The damning report reads, in part:
In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.
And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he “had a real difference” of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to Barack Obama.
We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
The White House confronted a critical decision about releasing the interview transcript. Biden’s legal team contended that Hur’s references to Biden’s memory issues during the interview were misleading and unfairly prejudicial.
Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during an impromptu presser after the report was released.
“There is even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden previously told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
In March, Republicans planned to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for the Justice Department’s refusal to release the audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
“The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees issued lawful subpoenas to Attorney General Garland for the audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur, yet he continues to defy our subpoenas,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement. “These audio recordings are important to our investigation of President Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and his fitness to be President of the United States.”
But White House counsel Ed Siskel lashed out at the House GOP in an angry letter, accusing them of only wanting the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political reasons.
“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” Ed Siskel wrote.
He added, “Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally protected law enforcement materials from the Executive Branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that a new revelation revealed that the White House admitted to altering the transcript of Joe Biden’s testimony to the Special Counsel to make him appear less incompetent.
This not-so-shocking admission comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed by the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch against the US Department of Justice, demanding the release of the original recording of Biden’s testimony.
Biden has personally invoked Executive Privilege against The Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch in an attempt to keep his controversial interview with Special Counsel Hur under wraps.
“Biden Justice Dept cleaned up transcript of Biden’s interview w/ Special Counsel Hur to remove his stuttering, pauses & other indications he lost his train of thought. Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton: “The transcript is not accurate & was changed in a way to help Biden,” Paul Sperry wrote.

Now, Attorney General Merrick Garland has reportedly classified audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur as top secret. The tapes, which allegedly capture a series of embarrassingly incoherent remarks by Joe Biden during a two-day interrogation, have been secured in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), typically reserved for the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, according to conservative investigative journalist Paul Sperry.
“Attorney General Merrick Garland has classified at the highest level the audio tapes of Biden’s embarrassingly incoherent interview with Special Counsel Hur over two days, and has locked the tapes away in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF,” Sperry wrote.

South African officials have threatened the US and other Western nations with prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for supporting Israel against the designated terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. South Africa’s International Relations and Cooperation Minister, Naledi Pandor, made this declaration during a talk about the situation in Rafah, standing in front of a Palestinian flag. It is unusual for a government official to stand in front of the flag of another entity, which is not a recognized country while giving an address. This act alone dispels any pretense of neutrality.
The ICC threat from South Africa is nearly laughable, given that the ICC already has an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin. However, South Africa not only continues to maintain close ties with Russia as a BRICS partner but has also sidestepped international sanctions by holding joint military exercises with the heavily sanctioned Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Signatories to the Rome Statute obligate themselves to enforce ICC arrest warrants. Evidence of South Africa’s lack of commitment to the ICC is that in 2017, South Africa was censured by the ICC for failing to enforce an arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted on multiple counts of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. Recently, Pretoria asked the ICC to exempt it from arresting Putin to avoid a war. The country even tried to withdraw from the ICC last spring but is suddenly all-in on deploying the ICC against the United States.
The US is not a signatory to the ICC, and the warrant would hold no validity in the US. Additionally, the American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA) protects US and allied military personnel from the ICC’s jurisdiction. Since Israel is an ally, this protection can extend to diplomatic efforts on its behalf. Furthermore, any country that enforced such a warrant against the US would be guilty of illegal detention and could face severe diplomatic repercussions or potentially trigger a rescue operation, leading to significant casualties in the country detaining high-ranking US officials.
The ICC admitted “the state of Palestine” as a special signatory, which seems impossible because the State of Palestine does not exist. This makes the ICC one of the few international organizations that allows theoretical entities to join. This symbolic move is crucial because, for the ICC to have jurisdiction, either the country accused of a violation or the country where the violation took place must be signatories. Since Israel is not a signatory, the only way the ICC can claim jurisdiction is through the inclusion of the theoretical Palestinian State.
The Palestinian State’s membership status in the ICC is questionable at best and is referred to as a “non-state party observer,” which seems like a contradiction of terms. In January 2015, Palestine acceded to the Rome Statute and became a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This status allows Palestine to participate in ICC proceedings and have a say in the court’s operations, despite the contentious nature of its statehood. The ICC’s inclusion of Palestine is one of the many reasons why the US does not support the ICC.
Section 410 of the US Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, “Prohibits U.S. contributions to any affiliated organization of the United Nations or to the United Nations if they grant full membership as a state to a group that does not have internationally recognized attributes of statehood.” This act should be extended to non-UN organizations. Although the ICC did not officially recognize the Palestinian State, the fact that they admitted this entity suggests recognition. As such, Washington should ensure that the ICC receives no funding.
Washington’s rejection of the ICC is so complete that, under Donald Trump, the United States sanctioned the ICC, designating two of its prosecutors. President Biden later revoked these sanctions, but has not signed the Rome Statute, and the US remains outside of the ICC’s jurisdiction.
South Africa’s calls for warrants against the US are completely meaningless, serving only as a symbolic gesture that signals South Africa’s alignment with the China-Russia-Iran camp. To issue such warrants, the UN Security Council would have to agree, which is highly unlikely. Putin and Xi supporting that investigation would be one of the most comedic foreign policy decisions in history, rivaled only by the UN’s decision to put Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Libya on the Human Rights Council.
Washington’s response to South Africa’s call for ICC warrants should be to impose sanctions on South Africa for holding joint military exercises with Russia. The US should also launch an investigation to determine if any financial transactions between South Africa and Russia qualify for secondary sanctions. Additionally, the US should cut the $6 billion in aid it gives to South Africa and divert the money to Israel or use it to secure the southern border.

‘Shark Tank’ star and famed investor Kevin O’Leary joined Fox News & Friends Weekend and urged Americans headed to the polls in November to “protect the brand of America.”
Kevin O’Leary: Well, first of all, you can’t have a robust economy without energy. It’s the core. Energy security and independence is a very good mandate. There’s no question about it. The debate we have, raging in the country is what energy?
So, if you go back just a few months to the climate meeting that happened in Dubai, I attended that meeting. It’s the first time the world finally said, ‘Okay, there’s no such thing as transition out of oil, there’s only diversification to other energy sources.’ So probably for the next 200 years, we’re going to need oil, maybe longer. We have it in the United States. We could be 18 to 21 million barrels a day if we wanted to.
You heard Trump mention Anwar, and let me tell you why that’s very interesting. Anwar is a remarkable asset. It’s in Alaska. Not only would it provide a tremendous amount of oil, but think about this. Back in 1978, what Norway did is they said, ‘We’ve discovered a ton of oil offshore. We’re going to charge a small royalty off every barrel in perpetuity and put it against national debt.’
We have a big debt in this country. Anwar could solve a portion of that problem in a big way. Because if you open it up and you say, ‘Look, we’re going to charge a 6% or 7% royalty on every barrel,’ but it has to be by law, this is the key, because you know how politicians like to take cash. It has to be put against the national debt.
I think that mandate would get a lot of people saying, ‘Why don’t we do that to solve this debt problem, at the same time making ourselves energy independent?’ That is how you sell it, because I understand the whole raging debate about green and climate and everything, but this is America we’re talking about. We need energy. We have to have it.
Rachel Campos Duffy: I think it’s a super clever plan. It’s the kind of plan I could see Donald Trump saying, ‘We’re going to do this.’ I read your article in the Daily Mail. It was fantastic because I think you nailed the problem economically for America because of the verdict. You said, ‘Banana Republics are bad for business’ and you talked about the American brand being dragged through the mud and the reputation we’re getting internationally. Explain to our viewers how that affects business.
Kevin O’Leary: So I was over in London fundraising. As you know, I’m trying to buy TikTok. Just trying to get my ducks in order for this deal, it’ll probably happen in January, February. It was at the same time that the testimony, the porn star stuff was coming. Talking about salacious sex and condoms and all this stuff, no one understood what that had to do with campaign financing. But why was it happening?
It really dominated the conversation, institutional meetings, asking me ‘What is this? Is that really America?’ Because G20 countries, G7 countries, you usually do not do this to former leadership because you’re protecting the sovereign brand, the mother egg of the United States of America, the White House, regardless who’s in it, it doesn’t matter. Any president, you really have to raise the bar. Maybe if they murdered somebody or were accused of that, maybe you’d bring a trial. But if you look at any G7 country, they protect the sovereign brand.
We have somehow stopped doing that. Look, I’m not saying… I don’t want to get partisan about it. I’m just saying we should protect the brand of America. And think about this, whether you’re a Democrat, whether you’re a Republican, what are we doing to ourselves is a question.
And then the remarkable unintended consequence that I want you to think about here. Just 24 months ago, Trump had about a third of his party starting to think about swapping him out because he was controversial, and they thought, maybe we need new leadership in the Republican Party.
Then Bragg brings these charges, and immediately the entire party coalesces behind him. The country biafricates. All of a sudden, and I know this sounds crazy, but I believe it to be true, history will look at this 5, 10 years from now and say, ‘How did Trump become President again?’ Alvin Bragg was the kingmaker. He did it for him. I know it sounds perverse, but that’s what he did. That’s called an unintended consequence. I don’t know if he’s happy about that, but that’s how he’ll be marked in history.
Will Cain: Kevin, you bring up the other people that were in the Republican field looking to replace him. He talked about that with us yesterday. He talked about he’s really the only one that could be in this environment and come out preserving that brand of America.
Donald Trump: These are bad people. These people are sick, and they do things that are so destructive. I mean, look what they did from the day I got there. I don’t know, a lot of people said, We have no choice but to elect Trump. Republicans, because he’s the only one that can withstand this. Don’t forget, if it weren’t me, they’d be going after somebody else. And I know a lot of the competition, they wouldn’t do so well. They wouldn’t be doing so well right now. They’d be saying, Mommy you take me home. I want to go home. This is brutal. But these are sick people. And for instance, the 51 intelligence agents, who thinks of these? And they think about it just like they say, I’m guilty of… And all this information was from so many years before the election. It was before the election.
Rachel Campos Duffy: That clip, what he talked about there, in addition to what we were talking about with what Alvin Bragg did, all of this is hurting the brand of America, correct? I just am curious, why do you think, who are these people? Why are they willing to wreck America for him? What is it about Donald Trump? What is it about his policies? This is unique. We’ve never seen anything like this.
Kevin O’Leary: I would ask everybody, regardless of your politics, to think about the big picture and what America means to the rest of the world. It’s the largest economy on Earth. It has the best legal system, including the appellate system, which now Trump will go through. If there’s something wrong with his trial, it wasn’t done properly, the appellate system will catch it. That’s what people believe about the American legal system.
It also attracts more foreign capital than any economy on Earth because of the transparency. You want to think beyond Trump. You want to think beyond Bragg. You want to think about after Biden.
What did we do to ourselves here? That should be the question.
When this sentencing occur, and it happens on July 11th, everybody should ask themselves, do we want to belittle someone that was in the White House, make him pick up garbage on the street or jail him?
I mean, this is the American brand we’re talking about. It’s not about Donald Trump only. It’s the White House.

The Maldives government has decided to stand with murdering Hamas terrorists and announced the country will ban Israelis from the country.
The Maldives government will ban Israelis from the Indian Ocean archipelago, known for luxury resorts, as public anger in the predominantly Muslim nation rises over the war in Gaza.
The president’s office said Sunday that the Cabinet decided to change laws to prevent Israeli passport holders from entering the country and to establish a subcommittee to oversee the process.
It said President Mohamed Muizu will appoint a special envoy to assess the Palestinian needs and to launch a fundraising campaign.
“President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, following a recommendation from the Cabinet, has resolved to impose a ban on Israeli passports. The Minister of Homeland Security and Technology, Ali Ihsaan, announced the decision at a news conference held at the President’s Office this afternoon,” a statement by the Maldives President’s office read.

President Donald Trump officially joined TikTok on Saturday night.
In just a few hours, his followers swelled to more than 2.1 million, and he racked up more than 35 million views (and counting) with his debut video.
The video shows him at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 302 in New Jersey on Saturday night.
The crowd at UFC 302 in Newark, NJ, gave Trump a heroes welcome as they chanted “F—k Joe Biden” and “We Want Trump.”
Just two days after an unconstitutional guilty verdict in his Manhattan “hush money” trial, Trump appeared publicly, and the atmosphere was electric as he received cheers and a standing ovation.
The audience’s reaction was not merely applause—it was a loud, resonant endorsement of his enduring influence and a clear rebuke of the forces they perceived as trying to silence him.
UFC President Dana White introduced the debut video, “The president is now on TikTok.”
Trump replied, “It’s my honor.”
The video shows clips of the electric night and the crowd’s roaring enthusiasm.
The President enjoyed the crowd’s enthusiasm.

President Trump revealed during an interview Sunday morning that he prepared to go to jail, a possibility he is okay with.
Trump was a guest on Fox and Friends Weekend to speak out about his disgraceful conviction when co-host Pete Hegseth inquired about the possibility of crooked Judge Juan Merchan throwing behind bars.
As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, three days before the GOP convention.
Trump told Hegseth he was okay with it and went on to say, “You don’t beg for anything.”
This means that despite facing months, if not years, behind bars, Trump is fully ready and will not demand special treatment. How many other politicians can say that?

HEGSETH: The judge (Merchan) could say house arrest or even jail.

“I said, don’t, you don’t beg for anything. It’s just the way it is.”
As the The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a rigged New York City jury convicted Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
A giddy Merchan then had the audacity to praise the jury members for their “dedication and hard work” after one of American history’s greatest travesties of justice.

When NBC News went on the air on Thursday to cover President Trump’s disgraceful conviction by a kangaroo NYC court on bogus crimes, they attempted to take a subtle shot at Trump supporters in the process, but it ended up backfiring on them.
As the Media Research Center (MRC) reported Friday, NBC reporter Laura Jarrett was on air breaking down her “analysis” of the disgusting verdict when the network’s cameras cut to a hysterical “Trump fan” in the middle of her report who was screaming like a deranged lunatic while holding a “Free Father Teresa” sign.
There was just one problem for the network, though. The man in the video, who MRC identified as Tony Barbieri, is an actor who occasionally performs for far-left ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Barbieri calls himself “Jake Byrd” and travels across America acting like a crazed right-winger for Kimmel’s fans.
The video clip compiled by MRC opens by showing Jarrett speaking for a minute before Barberi enters the picture while she continues her report. The video then cuts to footage from a Jimmy Kimmel Live episode where the actor pretends to be Jake Byrd, claiming Trump supporters don’t think the 45th President is innocent; they don’t care.
He then high-fives a “reporter.” Following a clip of CBS reporter Robert Costa, Barberi is shown “admitting” that he does not know what fraud means but says even if Trump committed election fraud, he is still not guilty.
WATCH:
LAURA JARRETT: Savannah, it’s a resounding victory for the prosecution in a case that they pitched as something far greater than about hush money. The way they tried to cast this case was about the subversion of democracy. And today the jury agreed with them, Savannah. The former president has tried to cast this as a political prosecution. A political hit job by a Democrat-elected D.A., by a judge that was biased against him. But these 12 jurors, these 12 New Yorkers have come to a different conclusion, an independent conclusion that the former president of the United States is guilty of 34 felony counts.
You can hear the crowd here.(Barbieri can be seen in the video screaming like a maniac while holding a “Free Father Teresa” sign)
There’s a lot of Trump supporters out here that you can hear, are very worked up as I was reading the verdict, I could hear the crowd. Emotion growing behind me. I’m only a couple of yards away from the area that you can see on your screens right there, sort of, the First Amendment area, if you will. Just a stone’s throw away from the press area. It’s been growing as the day went on.
It’s growing after they heard that this verdict was coming in. A lot of emotions are running very high in the city right now. Again, this is the presumptive GOP nominee in the middle of an election year for things that he did that the prosecution said that he did to try to corrupt the last election. A remarkable scene playing out right here in Lower Manhattan.
(The video then cuts to a Jimmy Kimmel Live episode)
FOREIGN REPORTER: Why are you here today?
TONY BARBIERI [portraying JAKE BYRD]: We’re here to support the real president, Donald Trump.

BARBIERI: Up top. Thank you.
SOLER: Thank you.

ROBERT COSTA [CBS]: Trump supporters across the country, there’s anger and frustration right now. And Trump campaign officials are arguing this is going to make Trump stronger inside the party.
(Back to Jimmy Kimmel Live)
BARBIERI: They say he’s guilty of fraud. What does fraud even mean? What’s it mean? I don’t know, do you know?
BRITISH REPORTER: Election fraud is what they found him guilty of. By hiding information that voters might have used to vote differently. That’s essentially what they found him guilty of.
BARBIERI: Okay, well, maybe he did that, but he’s not guilty.
MRC notes that NBC is not the first media outlet to treat Barberi as a real conservative. For example, CNN interviewed him pretending to be a Herschel Walker supporter back in 2022.

Please Note: The Gateway Pundit is one of five plaintiffs along with the states of Missouri and Louisiana in the Murthy vs. Missouri case noted below.
We expect the Supreme Court to decide on the case later this month.
This story originally was published by Real Clear Wire
By Ben Weingarten, RealClearInvestigations
May 31, 2024
This summer the Supreme Court will rule on a case involving what a district court called perhaps “the most massive attack against free speech” ever inflicted on the American people. In Murthy v. Missouri, plaintiffs ranging from the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana to epidemiologists from Harvard and Stanford allege that the federal government violated the First Amendment by working with outside groups and social media platforms to surveil, flag, and quash dissenting speech – characterizing it as mis-, dis- and mal-information – on issues ranging from COVID-19 to election integrity.
The case has helped shine a light on a sprawling network of government agencies and connected NGOs that critics describe as a censorship industrial complex. That the U.S. government might aggressively clamp down on protected speech, and, certainly at the scale of millions of social media posts, may constitute a recent development. Reporting by RCI and other outlets – including Racket News’ new “Censorship Files” series, and continuing installments of the “Twitter Files” series to which it, Public, and others have contributed – and congressional probes continue to reveal the substantial breadth and depth of contemporary efforts to quell speech that authorities deem dangerous. But the roots of what some have dubbed the censorship industrial complex stretch back decades, born of an alliance between government, business, and academia that Democrat Sen. William Fulbright termed the “military-industrial-academic-complex” – building on President Eisenhower’s formulation – in a 1967 speech.
RCI reviewed public records and court documents and interviewed experts to trace the origins and evolution of the government’s allegedly unconstitutional censorship efforts. It is a rich history that includes the battles to defeat America’s adversaries in World War II and the Cold War; the development of Silicon Valley; the post-9/11 War on Terror; the Obama administration’s transition to targeting domestic violent extremism broadly; and the rise of Donald Trump.
If there is one ever-present player in this saga, it is the storied institution of Stanford University. Its idyllic campus has served as the setting over the last 70-plus years for a pivotal public-private partnership linking academia, business, and the national security apparatus. Stanford’s central place, particularly in developing technologies to thwart the Soviet Union during the Cold War, would persist and evolve through the decades, leading to the creation of an entity called the Stanford Internet Observatory that would serve as the chief cutout – in critics’ eyes – for government-driven censorship in defense of “democracy” during the 2020 election and beyond.
Although it bears the name of the railroad magnate who founded the school in 1885, Leland Stanford, the powerhouse university we know of today, represents the vision of another man, Frederick Terman.
The son of a Stanford psychology professor, Terman began his tenure at the campus where he was reared teaching electrical engineering during the 1920s and 1930s. He also harbored ambitions to turn the university and its surrounding area into a major high-tech hub to rival that of MIT on the East Coast.
Like his MIT colleagues, Terman was also deeply connected to the government’s budding national security apparatus. During World War II he was tabbed to head Harvard’s Radio Research laboratory, established by the U.S. Office of Scientific Research and Development to develop countermeasures against enemy radars. Through its good work, the lab would save an estimated 800 Allied bomber aircrafts.
Returning to Stanford with the insights and contacts he had developed during the war, Terman took over as the dean of the engineering school in 1946 determined to implement an ambitious plan: to use government funding to erect “steeples of excellence” in critical disciplines that would continually attract new investments in a virtuous cycle that would raise Stanford to preeminence among research institutions.
Terman would win Pentagon contracts to help fund Stanford’s Electronics Research Laboratory and the Applied Electronics Laboratory, which included work on classified military programs, bringing Stanford firmly into the military-industrial-academic complex fold. Additional labs – some engaged in basic or theoretical research, and others applied research – followed, deepening the school’s ties to the national security state during the Cold War.
While reportedly advising every major branch of the military, Terman cultivated ties with private industry. He encouraged graduates to start firms in nearby communities that would come to be known as Silicon Valley, and urged professors to consult.
In 1951, Terman helped establish the Stanford Industrial Park, a high-tech cooperative on university land that would attract electronics firms and defense contractors – the first such university-owned industrial park in the world. Its tenants would include among others Hewlett-Packard, GE, Eastman Kodak, and a host of other notables, later including the likes of Facebook and Tesla. Lockheed Martinwould relocate its Missiles Systems Division to Silicon Valley in 1956 and go on to serve as the largest industrial employer in Silicon Valley during the Cold War.
Under Terman’s leadership, first as engineering school dean and then as provost, Stanford and the firms it helped incubate and attract generated advances in everything from microwave electronics and electronic warfare, to missiles and satellites, and semiconductors and computers – meeting the demands of military and civilian consumers alike.
Stuart Leslie, author of “The Cold War and American Science: The Military-Industrial Complex at MIT and Stanford,” wrote that “[b]y nearly every measure” Terman achieved his goal of challenging “MIT for leadership” in the sciences. The relationship Terman fostered between the feds and Silicon Valley companies would be responsible for producing “all of the United States Navy’s intercontinental ballistic missiles, the bulk of its reconnaissance satellites and tracking systems, and a wide range of microelectronics that became integral components of high-tech weapons and weapons systems” during the Cold War, according to one study.
Leslie Berlin, formerly a historian of the Silicon Valley Archives at Stanford University, would writethat “All of modern high tech has the US Department of Defense to thank at its core, because this is where the money came from” underwriting research and development.
One Stanford institution to which the money flowed with an indirect link to current controversies regarding social media censorship was the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Incorporated on campus as a nonprofit in 1946, it would pursue lucrative contracts for often-classified military R&D projects. By 1969, SRI ranked third among think tanks in total value of defense contracts garnered.
Anti-war activists helped force Stanford to divest from the outfit in 1970 – though it would continue to work with government on an array of initiatives. Among them was one building on a Pentagon-backed project to network computers, known as ARPANET. In 1977, an Institute van would transmit data in what is regarded as the first internet connection.
Stanford would open an Office of Technology Licensing in 1970 to manage the university’s growing IP portfolio. The office would execute thousands of licenses covering many thousands more inventions – sometimes in tandem with the security state. For example, Google was built in part on National Science Foundation-supported research; its development has also been tied to work done under a joint NSA and CIA grant.
The 9/11 terror attacks in 2001 would reinvigorate and fundamentally transform a military-industrial-academic complex that had demobilized to an extent following the Cold War, during which it had been largely foreign-facing. It would come to see not only foreign clandestine communications but public conversations between Americans promoting disfavored viewpoints as national security concerns.
To combat jihadists, Washington demanded sophisticated new surveillance tools and weapons. When combined with the explosion in communications technology, and the creation of massive new reams of digital data that could be collected and analyzed, Big Tech would prove a natural supplier.
The advent of social media – including Facebook (2004), YouTube (2005), and Twitter (2006) – would significantly impact these efforts.
To the public, social media platforms comprised a digital public square that empowered citizens as journalists and enabled the free flow of ideas and information.
But governments and non-state actors, including terrorist groups, realized they could harness the power of such platforms, and use them for intelligence gathering, waging information warfare, and targeting foes.
Initially U.S. authorities focused almost exclusively on foreign jihadist organizations’ exploitation of social media. That began to change when the Obama administration created a series of policies and associated entities – most of which worked closely with Big Tech and academia – targeting a broader array of adversaries.
In 2011, the Obama administration deployed its “Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States” strategy. While identifying Al-Qaeda as “our current priority,” the policy broadened the national security apparatus focus to “all types of extremism that leads to violence, regardless of who inspires it.”
That same year, the State Department stood up an entity aimed at “supporting agencies in Government-wide public communications activities targeted against violent extremism and terrorist organizations” that in 2016 would morph into the Global Engagement Center (GEC). It would serve as a broader “interagency entity” that would not only partner to build “a global network of positive messengers against violent extremism” including NGOs, but leverage data analytics “from both the public and private sectors to better understand radicalization dynamics online.”
Also that year, the Defense Department announced its Social Media in Strategic Communication program, launched to “track ideas and concepts to analyze patterns and cultural narratives” as part of an effort “to develop tools to help identify misinformation or deception campaigns and counter them with truthful information, reducing adversaries’ ability to manipulate events.” Millions of dollars flowed to both Big Tech and academic hubs in connection with the project.
In conjunction with these programs, the Obama administration also consulted with outside advisors to study how jihadist groups engaged in online disinformation campaigns. Included among the advisors was Renée DiResta, future technical research manager of the Stanford Internet Observatory – which would later play a key role in the government’s effort to identify and quell speech disfavored by the government.
With terrorist organizations increasingly exploiting social media platforms to proliferate propaganda and in pursuit of other malign ends, Silicon Valley came to play an increasingly key role in U.S. counterterrorism efforts. As Kara Frederick wrote in a 2019 report for the Center for a New American Security, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media companies:
… hired talent to fill gaps in their counterterrorism expertise, created positions to coordinate and oversee global counterterrorism policy, convened relevant players in internal forums, and instituted a combination of technical measures and good old-fashioned analysis to root out offending users and content. Major and minor tech companies coordinated with each other and with law enforcement to share threat information, drafted policies around preventing terrorist abuse of their platforms, updated their community guidelines, and even supported counter-speech initiatives to offer alternative messaging to terrorist propaganda.
Frederick, now at the Heritage Foundation, would know. A counter-terrorism analyst at the Department of Defense from 2010-16, she departed for Facebook where she helped create and lead its Global Security Counterterrorism Analysis Program.
Facebook’s chief security officer during Frederick’s tenure, Alex Stamos – future founder of the Stanford Internet Observatory – would boast that “there are several terrorist attacks that you’ve never heard of because they didn’t happen because we caught them … some local law enforcement agency … took credit for it, but it was actually our team that found it and turned it over to them with a bow on it.”
“Once clearly public sector responsibilities,” Stamos would add, “are now private sector responsibilities.”
With government broadening its focus to domestic violent extremism and its nexus to social media, and a revolving door opening between the national security apparatus and the platforms, Donald Trump’s election would prove a catalyzing event in the creation of what critics would describe as the censorship industrial complex.
His victory, which followed Brexit, another populist uprising that stunned Western elites, sent shockwaves from Washington, D.C., to Silicon Valley.
A narrative quickly arose that social media was to blame for Trump’s unexpected win. It held that dark forces, especially Russia, had manipulated voters through dishonest posts, and that the platforms enabled Trump’s victory through allowing supporters to advance corrosive conspiracy theories.
The national security apparatus sprang to action.
In January 2017, outgoing Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson made protecting election infrastructure part of his agency’s mandate. Subsequently:
These key components of what would come to be known as the censorship industrial complex – one that would ultimately target the speech of Trump’s own supporters and the president himself – emerged at the very time he was fending off the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory that gave rise to them.
Government concerns over foreign meddling in domestic politics would drive demand for putativelyprivate sector actors, often with extensive government ties and funding, to engage in what the NGOs cast as research and analysis of such malign operations on social media.
In 2018, the Senate Select Intelligence Committee would solicit research, including from DiResta, on Russia’s social media meddling – research that would bolster something of a pressure campaign against social media companies to get them to quit dithering on content moderation.
The committee also commissioned Graphika, a social media analytics firm founded in 2013, to co-author a report on Russian social media meddling. Graphika lists DARPA and the Department of Defense’s Minerva Initiative, which funds “basic social science research,” on a company website detailing its clients and research partners. It would serve as one of the four partners that would comprise the Stanford Internet Observatory-led Election Integrity Partnership – a key cog in government-driven speech policing during and after the 2020 election.
Another entity that would join the Stanford-led quartet is the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, established in 2016. Funded in part by the Departments of State – including through the Global Engagement Center – and Energy, the think-tank counts among its directors CIA chiefs and Defense secretaries. The lab’s senior director is Graham Bookie, a former top aide to President Obama on cybersecurity, counterterrorism, intelligence, and homeland security issues. In 2018, Facebook announced an election partnership with the lab wherein the two parties would work on “emerging threats and disinformation campaigns from around the world.”
The third of four entities later to join the Election Integrity Partnership was the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, formed in 2019. Stanford grad and visiting professor Kate Starbird co-founded the Center. The National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research have provided funding for Dr. Starbird’s social media work.
That same year, the Stanford Internet Observatory emerged. Founded by Alex Stamos, who had led substantial research on Russia’s social media operations while Chief Security Officer at Facebook and routinely interfaced with national security agencies throughout his cybersecurity career, the Observatory would serve as a “cross-disciplinary initiative comprised of research, teaching and policy engagement addressing the abuse of today’s information technologies, with a particular focus on social media … includ[ing] the spread of disinformation, cybersecurity breaches, and terrorist propaganda.”
The Observatory is a program of Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, which counts former Obama National Security Council official and Russian Ambassador Michael McFaul, among other notables on the faculty list with backgrounds in or ties to the security state.
Stamos stood up the Observatory with a $5 million gift from Craig Newmark Philanthropies – which also gave $1 million to Starbird’s work. The Craigslist founder’s charitable vehicle contributed some $170 million to “journalism, countering harassment against journalists, cybersecurity and election integrity,” between 2016 and 2020, areas he argued constituted the “battle spaces” of information warfare – information warfare waged implicitly against President Trump and his supporters.
The National Science Foundation also provided large infusions of money to the sprawling network of academic entities, for-profit firms, and think tanks that would emerge in the “counter-disinformation space.”
This network produced a mass of research and analysis redefining and expanding the perceived threat of free and open social media. It argued America was plagued by a pandemic of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation,” with a nexus to domestic violent extremism that could be created and disseminated by almost anyone – thereby making everyone a potential target for surveillance and censorship.
Ideas authorities found troubling would come to be treated as tantamount to national security threats to be neutralized – as the future Biden administration would codify in the first-of-its-kind National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.
DiResta described this paradigm shift in a 2018 article for Just Security – a publication incidentally also funded by Newmark.
“Disinformation, misinformation, and social media hoaxes have evolved from a nuisance into high-stakes information war,” DiResta wrote.
She continued:
…Traditional analysis of propaganda and disinformation has focused fairly narrowly on understanding the perpetrators and trying to fact-check the narratives (fight narratives with counter-narratives, fight speech with more speech). Today’s information operations, however, are … computational. They’re driven by algorithms and are conducted with unprecedented scale and efficiency. … It’s time to change our way of thinking about propaganda and disinformation: it’s not a truth-in-narrative issue, it’s an adversarial attack in the information space. Info ops are a cybersecurity issue.
This re-definition of what arguably amounts to speech policing of social media as security policy could be seen a year later when NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg urged that “NATO must remain prepared for both conventional and hybrid threats: From tanks to tweets.” (Emphasis RCI’s)
In the run-up to the 2020 election, DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which took as its mandate protecting election infrastructure, would expand its focus to include combatting misinformation and disinformation perceived as threatening the security of elections – regardless of its source. This would ultimately encompass the protected political speech of Americans, including speculation and even satire to the extent it called into question or undermined state-approved narratives about an unprecedented mass mail-in election.
Social media companies, chastened after having come under withering political and media attack for their content moderation policies during the 2016 election, would recruit dozens of ex-security state officials to fill their “Trust and Safety” teams dealing with policing speech to likewise combat this purported threat.
Frederick told RealClearInvestigations that Silicon Valley leaders believed the teams’ past focus on Islamic terror, which receded under Trump, reflected a bias, requiring platforms to “reorient toward domestic extremism” – the new target of the political establishment.
Combining the platforms’ political leanings with the tools they had developed to take on jihadists, in Frederick’s words, would create a “powder keg” threatening to obliterate Americans’ speech.
Still, the Constitution stood in the way to the extent the government wanted to police the platforms’ speech. In the run-up to the 2020 election, both federal authorities and like-minded NGOs recognized a “gap:” No federal agency had “a focus on, or authority regarding, [identifying and targeting for suppression] election misinformation originating from domestic sources,” as the Stanford Internet Observatory-led Election Integrity Partnership would put it. DiResta acknowledged any such project faced “very real First Amendment questions.”
In response, the government helped create a workaround via that very Election Integrity Partnership – a government driven, advised, and coordinated enterprise run by NGOs to surreptitiously surveil and seek to censor speech that did not comport with government-favored narratives on election administration and outcomes.
One hundred days from the 2020 election, the Stanford Internet Observatory, alongside Graphika, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, and University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public launched the EIP as a “model for whole-of-society collaboration,” aimed at “defending the 2020 election against voting-related mis- and disinformation.”
As RCI previously reported, the project had two main objectives:
First, EIP lobbied social media companies, with some success, to adopt more stringent moderation policies around “content intended to suppress voting, reduce participation, confuse voters as to election processes, or delegitimize election results without evidence. …
Second, EIP surveilled hundreds of millions of social media posts for content that might violate the platforms’ moderation policies. In addition to identifying this content internally, EIP also collected content forwarded to it by external “stakeholders,” including government offices and civil society groups. EIP then flagged this mass of content to the platforms for potential suppression.
As many as 120 analysts, records show, created tickets identifying social media content they deemed objectionable. They forwarded many tickets to officials at platforms including Google, Twitter, and Facebook which “labeled, removed, or soft blocked” thousands of unique URLs – content shared millions of times.
An RCI review of the nearly 400 of those tickets produced to the House Homeland Security Committee found that government agencies – including entities within the FBI, DHS (CISA), and State Department (GEC) – involved themselves in nearly a quarter of the censorship tickets. Those tickets almost uniformly covered domestic speech, and from the political right; in dozens of instances, the project made “recommendations” to social media companies to take action.
The tickets RCI reviewed illustrated the project’s efforts to push social media platforms to silence President Trump and other elected officials.
One EIP analyst would say of the effort that it “was probably the closest we’ve come to actually preempting misinformation before it goes viral.”
In response to RCI’s inquiries in connection with this story, CISA Executive Director Brandon Wales shared a statement reading in part: “CISA does not and has never censored speech or facilitated censorship. Such allegations are riddled with factual inaccuracies.”
Given “concerns from election officials of all parties regarding foreign influence operations and disinformation that may impact the security of election infrastructure,” Wales said, “CISA mitigates the risk of disinformation by sharing information on election security with the public and by amplifying the trusted voices of election officials across the nation” – work he indicated is conducted while protecting Americans’ liberties.
Dr. Starbird told RCI that:
Falsehoods about elections – whether accidental rumors about when and how to vote or intentional disinformation campaigns meant to sow distrust in election results – are issues that cut to the core of our democracy. Identifying and communicating about these issues isn’t partisan and, despite an ongoing campaign to label this work as such, isn’t ‘censorship.’
All had come full circle. Stanford had once again connected the security state to Silicon Valley for a project involving both basic and applied research aimed at perceived foes – studying how narratives emerged, and then seeking to get offending ones purged.
That project would again garner new funding from the security state in the form of a $3 million grantfrom the National Science Foundation split between the Stanford Internet Observatory and the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public for “rapid-response research to mitigate online disinformation.” Their partners in the EIP would receive millions more from the federal government under the Biden administration.
The relationship between DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and EIP would only grow. As RCI reported:
In the days following Nov. 3, 2020, with President Trump challenging the integrity of the election results, CISA rebuked him in a statement, calling the election “the most secure in American history.” The president would go on to fire CISA’s director, Christopher Krebs, by tweet.
Almost immediately thereafter, Krebs and Stamos would form a consultancy, the Krebs Stamos Group. In March 2021, Krebs would participate in a “fireside chat” when EIP launched its 2020 report.
CISA’s top 2020 election official, Matt Masterson, joined SIO as a fellow after leaving CISA in January 2021. Krebs’ successor at CISA, Director Jen Easterly, would appoint Stamos to the sub-agency’s Cybersecurity Advisory Committee, established in 2021, for a term set to expire this month.
Director Easterly would appoint Kate Starbird … to the committee. Starbird chaired the advisory committee’s since-abolished MDM (Mis-, Dis-, and Mal-Information) Subcommittee, focusing on information threats to infrastructure beyond elections.
SIO’s DiResta served as a subject matter expert for the now-defunct subcommittee. DHS scrapped the entity in the wake of the public furor over DHS’ now-shelved “Disinformation Governance Board.”
Starbird, her University of Washington colleagues, and a former student member of the Stanford Internet Observatory who had matriculated to the Krebs Stamos Group would publish a report in June 2022 building on their EIP efforts, titled “Repeat Spreaders and Election Delegitimization: A Comprehensive Dataset of Misinformation Tweets from the 2020 U.S. Election.” Its publication coincided with, and seemed aimed at buttressing the partisan House January 6 Select Committee’s second public hearing.
Documents obtained via FOIA from the University of Washington and recently published by Matt Taibbi’s Racket News and Substacker UndeadFOIA, suggest the committee’s chief data scientist met with Starbird and DiResta in January of that year to discuss the report the EIP produced following the 2020 election and its underlying data – a report that linked mis-, dis-, and mal-information regarding the 2020 election to the capitol riot.
In the interim, EIP would morph into the Virality Project, which would be used to target dissent from public health authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic – dissent those authorities argued could lead people to die, as dissenting views on the 2020 election spurred the capitol riot.
Among those targeted by the government for silencing, and who social media companies would censor, in part for his opposition to broad pandemic lockdowns, was Stanford’s own Dr. Jay Bhattacharya – one plaintiff in Murthy v. Missouri (Dr. Bhattacharya and Taibbi were recipients of RealClear’s first annual Samizdat Prize honoring those committed to truth and free speech). As he sees it, the Virality Project helped “launder” a “government … hit list for censorship,” which he finds “absolutely shocking” and at odds with the Stanford’s past commitments to academic freedom and general “sort of countercultural opposition to government overreach.”
As chilling as these efforts were, a House Homeland Security Committee aide told RCI:
EIP and VP were largely comprised of college interns running basic Google searches. Imagine a similar effort leveraging artificial intelligence to sweep up and censor ever greater swaths of our online conversations. We are at the beginning of the problem, not the end, which is why it is so vital to get right today because without action, tomorrow could be far worse.
It is unclear whether such action is forthcoming. Oral arguments in Murthy, heard this past March, suggested the Supremes may diverge from the lower courts. A federal district court found, and an appellate court concurred in the view that in coordinating and colluding with third parties and social media companies to suppress disfavored speech, government agencies had likely violated the First Amendment. Those courts barred such contact between agencies and social media companies during the pendency of the case – an injunction the nation’s highest court stayed over the objections of Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch.
At least one companion case targeting the likes of the Stanford Internet Observatory, and its Election Integrity Partnership and Virality Project as co-conspirators with the federal government in violating Americans’ speech, Hines v. Stamos, is pending.
GOP legislation to deter and/or defund the activities illustrated in these cases has languished in Congress, but oversight efforts have raised the cost for NGOs to continue partnering with the government.
When asked in June 2023 about the Stanford Internet Observatory’s future plans, Stamos told the House Judiciary Committee, which has been probing alleged public-private censorship efforts, that “Since this investigation has cost the university now approaching seven figures legal fees, it’s been pretty successful I think in discouraging us from making it worthwhile for us to do a study in 2024.”
Bhattacharya responded in an interview with RCI, “Why is Stanford putting so much of its institutional energy into [defending] this [the Observatory]?”
“It seems like they are putting their thumbs on the scale partly because they’re so closely connected with government entities.”
Months later, according to his LinkedIn profile, Stamos would depart from the Observatory, while remaining a part-time Stanford Adjunct and Lecturer in Computer Science.
On the eve of oral arguments in the Murthy case, Stanford University and its observatory castigated critics for promoting “false, inaccurate, misleading, and manufactured claims” regarding its “role in researching and analyzing social media content about U.S. elections and the COVID-19 vaccine.”
Stanford called on the Supreme Court to “affirm its right to share its research and views with the government and social media companies.”
It vowed the Internet Observatory would continue its work on “influence operations.”
Starbird has echoed Stanford. In response to a series of questions from Taibbi pertaining to the trove of FOIA’d documents Racket obtained, she said:
Our team has fielded dozens of public records requests, producing thousands of emails. Not one confirms the central claims of your thesis falsely alleging coordination with government and platforms to “censor” social media content. But, instead of acknowledging that fact, abuse continues of the Washington State public records law to smear and spread falsehoods based on willful misreadings of innocuous emails, ignorance about scientific research, and, in several instances, a lack of reading comprehension.
She too vowed that: “At the Center for an Informed Public, our research into online rumoring about election procedures and our work to rapidly identify and communicate about harmful election rumors will continue in 2024.”
Stanford’s Internet Observatory and the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public will not be spearheading the Election Integrity Partnership for 2024 or future election cycles however, per a link to the EIP’s website to which a Stanford spokesperson referred RCI in sole response to our queries.
Some experts are doubtful alleged social media censorship is going away anytime soon. “I don’t know how to ‘put the genie back in the bottle,'” said Frederick.
“There’s a thing about intel analysts in general where you have a sense of superiority because you have access to things that the plebes don’t. But, you know, these people have taken their G-d complexes to the next level and turned it against their neighbor.”
Of the alleged speech police, she said “they’re drunk with power obviously and they think they know what’s best for us.”
Amb. Alberto Fernandez, vice president at MEMRI and a former leader of the precursor to the State Department’s GEC, an observatory stakeholder that had itself funded adjacent efforts, told RCI “there needs to be transparency and preferably, a ‘firewall‘ of some sort between the Feds and social media.”
In May, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) – who had himself submitted an amicus brief siding with the agencies in the case, contra Republican colleagues led by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan – revealed that in the wake of the oral arguments in Murthy, federal agencies had resumed communications with social media companies.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), who had originally brought the Murthy case as Missouri attorney general, replied: “It appears DHS, FBI and potentially other agencies are quietly ramping up their efforts to censor Constitutionally protected speech ahead of the 2024 election.”

This article was written by Swedish independent journalist Peter Imanuelsen, also known as PeterSweden. You can follow him at PeterSweden.com.
The infamous Swedish city is ranked in the top 100 most dangerous cities in the world.
I have some news from Sweden that goes to show just how bad the situation actually is.
A new list from Numbeo has been ranking how safe and unsafe different cities in the world are.
The Swedish city of Malmö which has several no-go zones, is ranked as the number 76th most dangerous city in the entire world, listed right between Portland at number 75 and Tehran at number 77.
In fact, Malmö comes just a few spots after Baghdad in Iraq!
What is the most dangerous city in the world then you might wonder? That spot goes to Caracas, the capital of Venezuela – A Socialist country.
But Malmö is not the only Swedish city on the list. Stockholm is ranked at number 157 and Gothenburg at number 154.
However, other Nordic countries are much more peaceful. Oslo is ranked at number 244 and Helsinki in Finland is ranked at number 305.
But can you guess the most dangerous city in Europe? That would be Marseille at number 40, closely followed by Birmingham and Coventry in Britain.
Sweden used to be a very peaceful country. In fact, one of the most peaceful countries in the entire world.
But something has happened.
Last year there was a shocking 149 bombing attacks in Sweden. This is the highest number of attacks for a country that is not at war.
We have almost 60 no-go zones where gang crime has been spiraling out of control. And the problem is, for many years, the mainstream media tried to cover it up. Nobody wanted to talk about it.
But I have reported extensively on the problems in Sweden.
You can read my previous article here on the truth about the rape crisis in Sweden.
In almost 50 years, there has been a whopping 2200% increase in the number of rapes in Sweden. That is horrible.
If you ever need proof that Socialism doesn’t work, just show them this article.

Boeing’s extensive incompetence extends beyond their garbage planes and into their spacecraft.
As CBS News reported, Boeing’s Starliner was within minutes of blasting off into space Saturday afternoon before a countdown computer detected a “problem” that triggered the last-minute reversal.
Had the launch been successful, it would have marked a historic first astronaut flight for Boeing.
The next attempted launch will take place no earlier than tomorrow, according to the outlet.
CBS News reported:
The countdown appeared to be ticking smoothly toward a planned launch at 12:25 p.m. EDT. But 10 seconds after the countdown came out of a planned hold at the T-minus 4-minute mark, the clocks suddenly stopped ticking.
An unplanned hold in the countdown of a spacecraft bound for the International Space Station means the launch will be delayed at least 24 hours to enable another opportunity to rendezvous with a target moving at nearly five miles per second.
Below is the full video of the aborted launch.
WATCH:
It’s unclear at this point what caused the issue, but CBS News revealed that NASA claimed “the GLS (Ground Launch Sequencer) did not load the proper configuration files when the countdown resumed.”
The outlet speculates that this could mean a software issue.
This was not the first time the Starliner had failed to take off as expected. CBS notes that back on May 6, The Starliner’s crew, commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore and co-pilot Sunita Williams, came within about two hours of launch on May 6. However they were foiled due to problems with a pressure relief valve in their Atlas 5 rocket and a helium leak in the capsule’s propulsion module.
The problems were resolved and a launch appeared on track Saturday despite a few snags before being called off.

Republican representative Cory Mills (R-FL) is calling on the RNC to move its convention dates to early July so that President Donald Trump can be nominated on July 4th, Independence Day, before communist New York Judge Juan Merchan’s sentencing scheduled for July 11th in the junk lawfare case against the Republican presidential nominee.
Representative Mills floated the idea on Maria Bartiromo’s morning show on Friday.
Maria Bartiromo: “What are they so afraid of? Why are they so afraid of Trump?”
Rep. Cory Mills: “Well, because they know that he can win and he’s gonna take back the presidency and he’s gonna change the corruption in the deep state. He knows that the deep police state, just like when they tried to hire 87,000 armed IRS agents, they’re trying to increase their powers and try to violate our constitutional rights and liberties… the rest of the left and the rest of the deep state knows he’s going to clean house…
…I think about it this way. I think that we, as the Republican Party, first off, to poke them in the eye, we should go ahead and move our GOP conference and elect President Trump as our nominee on July fourth. We know they’re trying to prevent him from coming to the actual GOP gathering, so we should go ahead and start looking at that. But we have to start stepping up our efforts, Maria…
…I’m just sick and tired of this whole thing about one more hearing. I’m going to beat the horse here, but one more hearing, one more piece of evidence, one more this, one more that. We have to start getting accountability, and we can’t just continue to sit on our laurels and say, ‘Oh, well, were the actual party of the role of law. We’re the party of process.’
Look, we have more than enough to continue to move forward. We need to launch investigations. We need to follow the money, find the facts. That’s what this is all about. We have to ensure that something like this never happens again because the precedents that are being set by the left is that no one is safe, that you are guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around, and that they can continue to do this kangaroo-style court and this third-party banana republic where you’re just going to be guilty because we say you’re guilty as a political operative.
Maria Bartiromo: I saw this somewhere else and I just want to reiterate what you just said. Are you saying that you’re proposing moving the Republican National Convention to July 4th, as opposed to July 15th? Is that what you just said?”
Rep. Cory Mills: “That’s exactly what I’m saying. If they’re going to try to do a sentencing on the 11th, which I know will hold him up, I say we bring President Trump, we move it and we elect him as our nominee on July 4th, Independence Day, and we start moving forward. I think that’s a symbolic measure and I think it tells them exactly where we’re at as America.”
This is a brilliant suggestion by Rep. Mills.
Republicans must act. No more weak word games.

A 70-year-old transgender LGBTQ activist from the United Kingdom stands accused of murdering his husband in an unusual fashion.
Police say that Joanna Rowland-Stuart, a biological male who identifies as female, killed his husband, Andrew, at their home in Brighton Monday evening. The BBC reported that he appeared before magistrates in Crawley on Friday.
Rowland-Stuart, who claims he’s deaf, confirmed his identity through a sign language interpreter after being arrested according to the Daily Mail.
The Mail reported that emergency services responded to an incident at the 15th-floor flat on Lavender Street in Brighton at approximately 7:30 PM on Monday, May 27. Police officers discovered Andrew dead at the scene.
The officers revealed that Andrew was killed by a samurai sword, not exactly an ordinary weapon of choice. It is not known at this point whether the suspect is a fan of Japanese culture.
Detective Chief Inspector Alex Campbell of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, released the following statement in response to the incident:
This is a fast-moving investigation, and our inquiries are ongoing as we seek to establish the full circumstances which led to Andrew’s tragic death.
Our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this difficult time.
In the meantime, we are urging the public not to speculate, but to come forward with any information which may be able to assist us.
Sussex Police have also asked individuals with information on the incident to contact their Major Incident Portal or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously.
The Mail reports Rowland-Stuart has been ordered to appear again in Crown Court on June 3.

A convicted felon who was banned from possessing firearms shot and killed a Minneapolis police officer this week.
Saturday afternoon, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office identified Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 35.
NEW: Crime Watch has received information from several independent sources indicating Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 35, as the suspect in Thursday’s south Minneapolis mass shooting and police ambush that left Officer Jamal Mitchell dead.
Records indicate that Mohamed had a violent crime… pic.twitter.com/ix1tLDElwc— CrimeWatchMpls (@CrimeWatchMpls) June 1, 2024
Mohamed died from multiple gunshot wounds Thursday night outside an apartment complex on Blaisdell Avenue South.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has not identified Mohamed as the shooter.
However, police have previously said the suspect died at the scene shortly after ambushing and killing Minneapolis Police Officer Jamal Mitchell in the street.
Mohamed was convicted of felony burglary in 2008. Court records show he had an active warrant for his arrest.
Mohamed was convicted on federal charges in 2016 of being a felon in possession of ammunition, according to court records.
The shooting happened just after 5 p.m. Thursday night on the 2200 block of Blaisdell Avenue South.
The shooting took place at an apartment complex and two additional people were injured. As a result of multiple gunshot wounds, Mitchell, 32, passed away.
An additional person was wounded after being shot outside the apartment complex.
As police were responding to the shooting, Mitchell was ambushed while trying to help a potential victim.
“What I can tell you is that Officer Mitchell was attempting to assist the individual that shot him,” BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said at a press conference Thursday night.
As a result of the shooting, both an officer and a firefighter were injured. They have since been discharged from the hospital.

Biden’s Department of Defense (DoD) made an inexcusable error on Saturday when the agency “mistakenly” mixed up LGBTQ Pride Month and PTSD Awareness Month in a social media post.
The Pentagon posted on X Saturday explaining that June marks PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Awareness Month. As Fox News notes, this was first recognized by the U.S. government in June 2014, one year before June also officially became Pride Month.
“June is PTSD Awareness Month and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD,” the DOD post read.
The post continued, “If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. You are not alone.”
However, there was one big problem with the tweet: the picture attached below the words in the post read “Celebrate Pride Month 2024” complete with a Progress Pride Flag photo.
LOOK:
The Pentagon X account later deleted the post and replaced it with one that had a proper photo.
June is #PTSDAwarenessMonth and the DoD is committed to supporting service members and veterans affected by PTSD.

During Saturday’s WNBA face-off between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, Chennedy Carter’s actions against Caitlin Clark sparked outrage among fans. Not only did she appear to call Clark a “b*tch,” but she also took a cheap shot at her.
With only seconds left in the third quarter, Carter managed to score a jumper, reducing Indiana’s lead to four points. Cameras caught Carter allegedly hurling an insult, seemingly the “b-word,” towards Clark, followed by a physical shoulder check that knocked Clark to the ground.
The referee’s decision to issue only a common foul—no flagrant, no ejection—stirred significant discontent among the Fever’s fans and critics, who viewed the move as a clear act of aggression.
ASSAULT!

Even Draymond Green, a professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors, said Fever should “invest in an enforcer” to protect Clark.
According to Sporting News, “He regularly protects Stephen Curry because he’s aware of how important Curry is to Golden State’s success. The enforcer role isn’t new either. This has been going on for decades in most sports, but particularly in the NBA.”

Post-match, a visibly upset Clark told the ESPN broadcast team, “That’s just not a basketball play.” Her statement resonated with viewers who felt that Carter’s action was an assault.
In her post-game press conference, Carter bluntly stated, “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.”
Chennedy Carter, given a chance to explain herself postgame, says “next question.”
Then later, “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Carter’s post-game actions have done nothing to quell the growing backlash. Instead of showing remorse or seeking to clarify her actions, Carter has engaged in liking and sharing social media posts that seem to justify her aggressive behavior.
She even boasted about the attention she’s getting, stating, “Troll notifications blowing up. I love it.”

Critics argue that if roles were reversed, and it was Clark who had committed the same actions against Carter, the narrative pushed by certain media outlets would be starkly different, possibly branding Clark as racist and severe accusations.
Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark’s influence on the league’s popularity is undeniable. Amidst the ongoing NBA playoffs, Clark has emerged as the most-searched basketball player in the nation, with her team leading the popularity charts across almost all states. The burgeoning star’s ability to draw crowds and boost the WNBA’s viewership records has been nothing short of phenomenal.
The WNBA, far-left, and media hate Caitlin Clark because she is a white, Catholic, straight girl.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) attempted to smear Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito earlier this week with a nasty tweet, and it blew up in her face.
As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Justice Alito and his wife have been under brutal assault from the leftist media and Democrat Party because his wife flew the American flag upside-down at their properties back in January 2021. This was around the same time as the J6 protests.
A May article in the New York Times attempted to connect Alito to so-called “election deniers” without evidence. Democrats promptly seized on the story to demand Alito recuse himself from any cases involving the protesters and vowed to investigate him as well.
Americans have used the upside-down or inverted American flag to protest the government for decades. Since President Trump’s conviction by the kangaroo court in Manhattan, the inverted flag has been a calling card for many other Americans, including critics of the 45th President.
MTG decided to post a photo of the inverted flag in an X post on Thursday in response to Trump’s conviction. When AOC noticed she had a snarky reply on hand.
“Who did you learn that from, Samuel Alito?” she wrote.

“Samuel Alito has identified himself with the same people who raided the Capitol on Jan. 6, and is now going to be presiding over court cases that have deep implications over the participants of that rally,” she whined. “And while this is the threat to our democracy, Democrats have a responsibility for defending our democracy. And in the Senate, we have gavels.”
“There should be subpoenas going out,” she continued. “There should be active investigations that are happening.”

On Thursday, President Trump was convicted on felony charges for a made-up crime in a kangaroo court led by a corrupt judge. This comes at a time when a leading Democrat is aggressively pushing to strip him of Security Service protection, Fox News reported.
The Gateway Pundit reported last month that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) proposed the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act, aiming to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection should he face imprisonment.
The bill was introduced along with far-left Democrats Troy Carter (D-LA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), and Steve Cohen (D-TN). It was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
According to the press release, “This legislation would reform the U.S. Secret Service’s protective mission by automatically terminating Secret Service protection for those who have been sentenced to prison following conviction for a Federal or State felony—clarifying that prison authorities would be responsible for the protection of all inmates regardless of previous Secret Service protection.”
Thompson said in a statement, “Unfortunately, current law doesn’t anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President. It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality. Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment—and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them.”
According to a fact sheet from the Committee on Homeland Security, the U.S. government has long recognized the need to protect presidents, former presidents, other high-level officials, and select family members from harm. Since 1901, this protective mission has been carried out by the U.S. Secret Service.
Section 3056(a)(3) of Title 18 of the United States Code mandates that the United States Secret Service provide protection for former presidents, their spouses, and their children under the age of 16 “for their lifetimes, except that protection of a spouse shall terminate in the event of remarriage.”
The act ensures their safety due to the sensitive information they possess and the unique threats they might face. There is no specific provision excluding protection in the event of incarceration, so Secret Service protection continues regardless of a former president’s legal status.
More from the fact sheet:
The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony.
Under current law, Secret Service protection is authorized for some current and former high-level officials and their immediate families. Current law does not contemplate how such protection would occur—or whether it should occur—if a protectee is sentenced to prison following conviction for a felony. As a result, current law may serve as an impediment to the equal administration of justice and present logistical difficulties for both the Secret Service and prison authorities at the Federal and State levels.
This bill would remove the potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons and allow judges to weigh the sentencing of individuals without having to factor in the logistical concerns of convicts with Secret Service protection.
Is this bill ex post facto and therefore in violation of the Constitution?
No. The Supreme Court in Flemming v. Nestor suggested that there could be situations where the termination of a benefit may raise ex post facto concerns. However, such a law would have to be shown to have an unlawful, punitive purpose. This bill raises no punitive concern. The purpose of this bill is to hand off inmate protection to relevant prison authorities rather than involve the Secret Service. Further, the removal of Secret Service protection does not change the criminal statutes or alter the penalty for crimes.Will this bill apply to former President Trump if he is convicted of a felony?
This measure would apply to former President Trump. It also would apply to all Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced under felony charges.
During an interview with Alex Jones last month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated the Democrats ‘want Trump dead.’
Rep. Greene stated that Trump “is not invincible; he’s a man, he’s fighting as hard as possible, and he’s putting all he has into trying to win the election.”
Greene continued, “You have to remember, he’s trying to run for president again, and he has to put everything he has into defending himself against these rigged trials.”
“They literally want him dead; Billy Thompson introduced a bill to take away his Secret Service protection. They want to lock him up in jail for the rest of his life so he dies in jail, and they want to take away his secret service protection so that he is murdered,” added Greene.
This sentiment was echoed by Donald Trump Jr. during his interview with Tucker Carlson, saying, “Let’s be honest: These radical leftists don’t just want my father in a prison cell. They want him dead.”

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley lambasted the bill, exposing its blatant political vendetta against Trump, even after his conviction. In a scathing critique, he suggested more fitting acronyms such as SHAMEFUL (Stopping Harmful Antics by Members Eagerly Filing Useless Legislation) or CUCKOO (Congressmen Undertaking Changes to Kill Our Opponents) to reflect on the politically motivated actions.
“Describing this move as “regrettable,” Thompson has found a way to add lethal elements to the unhinged political rage in Congress,” Turley added.

Federal prosecutors have announced the arrest of former Naval Officer Robert P. Burke, 62, on serious bribery charges.
Burke, a retired four-star Navy Admiral, was arrested on Friday. According to the Justice Department, he accepted bribes in exchange for steering government contracts to a company that promised him a lucrative job after his retirement from the Navy.
The indictment reveals that from 2020 to 2022, Burke, who oversaw Naval operations in Europe, Russia, and most of Africa and commanded thousands of civilian and military personnel, conspired with CEOs Yongchul “Charlie” Kim and Meghan Messenger of “Company A”) that provided a workforce training pilot program to a small component of the Navy from August 2018 through July 2019.
The Navy terminated a contract with Company A in late 2019 and directed Company A not to contact Burke.
Despite the Navy’s instructions, Kim and Messenger allegedly still met with Burke in Washington, D.C., in July 2021, in an effort to reestablish Company A’s business relationship with the Navy.
It is alleged that at the July 2021 meeting, the charged defendants agreed that Burke would use his position as a Navy Admiral to steer a sole-source contract to Company A in exchange for future employment at the company.
From the Department of Justice:
They allegedly further agreed that Burke would use his official position to influence other Navy officers to award another contract to Company A to train a large portion of the Navy with a value Kim allegedly estimated to be “triple digit millions.”
In furtherance of the conspiracy, in December 2021, Burke allegedly ordered his staff to award a $355,000 contract to Company A to train personnel under Burke’s command in Italy and Spain. Company A performed the training in January 2022. Thereafter, Burke allegedly promoted Company A in a failed effort to convince a senior Navy Admiral to award another contract to Company A. To conceal the scheme, Burke allegedly made several false and misleading statements to the Navy, including by creating the false appearance that Burke played no role in issuing the contract and falsely implying that Company A’s employment discussions with Burke only began months after the contract was awarded.
In October 2022, Burke began working at Company A at a yearly starting salary of $500,000 and a grant of 100,000 stock options.
US Attorney Matthew Graves said in a statement,
“As alleged in the indictment, Admiral Burke used his public office and his four-star status for his private gain,” said U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves. “The law does not make exceptions for admirals or CEOs. Those who pay and receive bribes must be held accountable.

“Today’s indictment exemplifies our unwavering commitment to eradicating fraud within the DoD,” said Deputy Director, Grant A.

As this indictment demonstrates, the FBI and our partners remain committed to investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials regardless of their rank or title.”

A Democratic congressman has stepped forward and publicly called on Gov. Hochul to pardon President Donald Trump after he was found guilty of bogus “crimes” by a NYC kangaroo court.
As the New York Post reported, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) issued this surprising plea in an X rant on Friday. He becomes the first known nationally elected Democrat to call for helping Trump.
But the pardon plea does not. Phillips explained in a tweet that a permanent conviction would fuel Trump because he “thrives on portraying himself as the victim.”
Thus, Hochul should pardon the 45th President for the good of America.
“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips wrote. “@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”

Seemingly anticipating a backlash from his followers, Phillips doubled down by pointing out that the Democrat lawfare is only helping Trump.
“You think pardoning is stupid? Making him a martyr over a payment to a porn star is stupid,” he argued. (Election charges are entirely different.) It’s energizing his base, generating record sums of campaign cash, and will likely result in an electoral boost.”

As The Gateway Pundit readers may know (we would not blame you for not noticing), Phillips mounted an ill-fated Presidential primary challenge to Joe Biden because he felt the current White House occupant was a surefire loser in November. He then ended his campaign in March.
The New York Post reported that a pardon was “unlikely,” citing a source close to Hochul.
“I cannot imagine a world where she would consider doing this, this makes no sense,” said the source.
The post House Democrat Steps Forward and Calls on New York Governor Kathy Hochul to Pardon President Trump appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
1. Unconstitutional Gag Order that prevented President Trump from criticizing the trial, exposing the many conflicts that should have forced the judge to recuse himself, and the railroading of his fundamental due process rights.
2. Judge Merchan’s many, many conflicts of interests – all of which were disqualifying. His daughter, Loren Merchan, is President of Authentic Campaigns, a political consulting firm that hires the likes of the Biden-Harris Campaign, Adam Schiff, Ilhan Omar, and many other far left Democratic lawmakers. Loren’s firm has made tens of millions off these clients – Juan Merchan, through his daughter, had a direct financial stake in the outcome of this trial, a flagrant breach of the canons of legal ethics, both under the ABA and NY State, that under any other judge would have been grounds for a recusal.
3. Judge Merchan’s wife was previously employed by Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York State who campaigned on “getting” Donald Trump.
4. Bragg’s Lead Prosecutor was Matthew Colangelo, the former #3 official at the DOJ. We are told Colangelo graciously decided to step down from his prestigious office to work for a lowly state DA’s office – of course, a reasonable inference would be that he was directed to do so by the Biden Regime to persecute his leading political opponent in Donald John Trump.
5. Statute of Limitations (2 years, NY State) had long expired for the business records falsification scheme that served as the primary charge brought against Trump. For this reason, the case was passed over by the DOJ and even Alvin Bragg over seven years because it was so weak. Only once Bragg felt political pressure, externally via Clinton attorney Mark Pomerantz, who previously worked in Bragg’s office, and internally via Colangelo, a Biden lackey, did Bragg buckle under the political weight and press charges.
6. Venue in bright-blue Manhattan, a borough that voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump at almost a 9 to 1 clip, prevented the President from ever getting a fair trial, because the pool of jurors was naturally biased against the 45th President, and could not possibly rule fairly and impartially (8 of the 12 cited the NY Times as their main source of news). Any pro-Trump jurors who were considered chose to self-select out themselves because they claimed they “could not rule fairly.” Case in point: no way in hell is the burden of proof met on any of these charges, and yet the jury pool consisted of two lawyers, who evidently believed just that. No reasonable juror, and especially no reasonable lawyer-juror, would have found that the elements of every single crime brought against Trump met the burden of proof of beyond a reasonable doubt.
7. Election Interference: This was not a new case: it had been circulating in various court systems, federal and state, for years. These charges were only brought this year to interfere with the 2024 presidential race, period. President Trump is now the leading presidential candidate, by every reputable poll, and the frontrunner by significant margins, a gap that has only expanded over time. There is no reason why this case should be brought now, six months before Election Day, unless there was a conspiracy to prevent President Trump from being on the campaign trail in key swing states, like PA, MI, AZ, and GA, which is exactly what occurred.
8. Stormy Daniels’ Testimony was unnecessarily detailed and flagrantly prejudicial against President Trump. Bragg’s Prosecutors asked her about her impressions on the Access Hollywood Tape, which should have never been allowed and have absolutely no bearing on anything. They also probed her on intimate, irrelevant details about her alleged affair with the President, including such inappropriate, salacious, and prejudicial questions as whether he wore protection, and where she testified to a “power imbalance” – all part of a character assassination campaign to smear his image before the jury.
9. Greatest Liar of All Time Michael Cohen’s Testimony, on which the entirety of the Prosecutor’s case was based, was unreliable, prejudicial, and grounds for reversible error; he contradicted himself and committed perjury on the stand in this proceeding. He admitted to lying and committing perjury in the past, which resulted in his prosecution and imprisonment. He admitted to waging a political vendetta against Donald Trump because of his previous conviction; he admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization, lying before a Congressional Committee, and financially profiting off this ongoing trial – and verdict, among other serious crimes.
10. Bragg’s Theory of The Case was flawed from start to finish – and unconstitutional. He claimed, under NY state law, that ordinarily the business falsification charge is deemed a Class A misdemeanor under the State penal code, which had expired by the SOL. However, by combining that misdemeanor with another misdemeanor, under the same law, Bragg claimed you can elevate the underlying crime to a felony, which has a longer statute of limitations than a misdemeanor and thus, in his view, is still actionable. The problem is that nothing in the NY State penal code spells this out expressly, or even implicitly: there is nothing that says combining two misdemeanors is sufficient to contrive a felony. This is a bespoke crime intended to fit a one defendant and one defendant only: Donald John Trump.
11. Several other problems persist with the above: 1) whether combining two class A misdemeanors to create a class E felony is supported by any legal precedent at all, or logically makes sense (it doesn’t);
12. 2) whether combining two misdemeanors to contrive a felony is constitutionally lawful – i.e., does not violate due process or is constitutionally operative as an unlawful bill of attainder, etc.; and
13. 3) even if that combination establishes a theory of liability to raise a misdemeanor into a felony, whether doing so to circumvent a long-expired SOL does not also violate due process?
14. The Second alleged crime, that Bragg combined with the business falsification crime, to contrive a felony, is inapplicable to President Trump. Bragg maintained that President Trump violated state campaign law. But that is problematic for at least two reasons:
15. 1) President Trump ran for President, a federal office, and not state office – and thereby, state campaign law does not apply to him;
16. 2) to the extent state campaign law does apply or is controlling, it is preempted (i.e., barred) – based on President Trump’s office and acts – by federal campaign law. In short, this matter should have been brought under the FEC or DOJ, not state court. Merchan’s court had no jurisdiction whatsoever to prosecute the matter.
17. The State Election Law, to the extent it was lawfully controlling, established a predicate crime scheme that is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled in Ramos v. Louisiana that non-unanimous jury verdicts are a violation of fundamental due process rights. This is well-settled law. Federal precedent applies with equal force to state criminal court proceedings. Thus, the “mix and match” or “buffet” scheme that Merchan laid out, allowing the jury to select one of three predicate crimes under the relevant statute to reach a guilty verdict, is a flagrant violation of President Trump’s due process rights.
18. The three predicate crimes that Bragg’s theory of the case lays out: FECA violation, tax law violation, or record-keeping violation, each cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
19. The FECA violation should’ve been tossed out immediately, because a state court has no jurisdiction over the matter. The Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) has its own rules and procedures for administering election law violations, as well as a doctrine of sequencing that it is required to employ to administer disputes. This sequencing doctrine would require that Merchan refer any such FECA allegations to, for instance, the Federal Election Commission first, which might have primary jurisdiction over the matter, and then from there, the FEC might coordinate with the DOJ to prosecute any potential crimes. The point is: order matters; a rogue state court judge cannot unilaterally take up an issue belonging in federal court.
20. To the extent an alleged FECA violation controls here, there are a number of problems: 1) what statute are we talking about;
21. 2) how do we know that the alleged violation can be prosecuted as a crime, and isn’t just a civil matter;
22. 3) even if the alleged violation is a crime, how do we know
23. 1) such crime is a felony; and
24. 2) that crime can be adjudicated independently by an independent agency of the United States? In other words, does the FEC have the power to prosecute crimes unilaterally, and independently of the DOJ? That alone is sufficient grounds for a due process violation.
25. Again, we run into the issue of how 2 misdemeanor crimes mysteriously turn into an underlying felony. Is the law that any two misdemeanors creates a felony? Does it matter if the misdemeanor is a state crime versus an alleged federal crime? It cannot possibly be the case that all misdemeanors are created equal – nor can it be the case that if a jury found President Trump guilty of the predicate FECA misdemeanor, that the business falsification statute incorporates a federal misdemeanor to contrive a Class E felony. When has that ever been done before? Never!
26. Merchan has no knowledge of Federal Election Law. Typically, federal election law issues (FECA issues) are preempted by federal court. Putting all that to one side, however, considering that Merchan ignored all of that, and was hellbelt on prosecuting this nebulous crime in state court, he should have at least allowed an expert witness to opine on federal election law-related matters. That expert witness, former FEC Commissioner and government lawyer, Brad Smith, should have been allowed to testify on federal election law, a notoriously complex and highly specialized area of law. But Smith was not permitted to testify, because Merchan did not want the jury to hear expert testimony from someone competent in the relevant body of law. That prohibition of Smith’s testimony is prejudicial, and grounds for reversible error.
27. In addition to the FECA predicate crime issue, which is teeming with due process and other constitutional violations, both the alleged tax law violation, and general bookkeeping violation are also laden with due process problems.
28. Merchan has absolutely no authority to say that President Trump can be found guilty of violating “tax laws” or erroneously reporting a tax filing as a legal expense (when in fact, legally and definitionally, it was a “legal expense”); these two miscellaneous predicate crimes are constitutionally overbroad and cannot for those reasons alone satisfy the requisite burden of proof – due to concerns of being overbroad, Bragg’s theory of criminal liability violates due process as well.
29. Nondisclosure Agreements, Hush Money Payments, and “Catch and Kill” schemes are and have always been perfectly lawful; none of these things can serve as a basis for criminal liability, however controversial they might sound – nor too does consensual sexual activity, including out of wedlock sex, even with a pornstar, ever, ever impute criminal liability or the pretext of criminal liability upon the one doing the act. All of these acts are lawful, case closed.
30. Running for President of the United States, even if your name is Donald Trump, is lawful. It is not a “conspiracy” to run a presidential campaign, nor is it conspiratorial – let alone criminal – to take lawful measures to win a campaign. Under Bragg’s twisted theory, however, every single political campaign ever carried out in the history of the United States would be considered unlawful – including the presidential campaigns of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.
31. Stormy Daniels denied an affair with Donald Trump, in writing, multiple times over many years. That said, the Daniels-Trump story had long been in the public domain years before the 2016 presidential election. The NDA at issue was formalized in 2011, five years before the 2016 presidential election. How it is even possible that a 2011 NDA can be a component of a larger conspiracy to criminally manipulate the results of the 2016 race was never addressed. At trial, through the testimony of Hope Hicks and Madeleine Westerhout, what became crystal clear was that any such nondisclosure agreements were to protect President Trump’s family and had no bearing on the 2016 election.
32. Indeed, it is unclear just how the dissemination of the Daniels story, which was already widely distributed in the public domain by the time President Trump launched his 2016 campaign, would have impacted the race. By conflating the Daniels story with the Access Hollywood Tape, which was frequently referenced in the examinations of several key witnesses, Merchan allowed undue prejudice into his courtroom – providing a basis for reversible error. Stormy Daniels and Access Hollywood have absolutely nothing to do with one another; Access Hollywood had no bearing on any NDA agreements signed between President Trump’s counsel, and Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal, or anyone else. Asking Daniels, during her testimony, about her impressions of the Access Hollywood Tape was completely inappropriate for a courtroom and prejudicial. Conflating these facts, many of which were wholly inappropriate to bring into the courtroom, unfairly prejudices the jurors – because they serve no other purpose than to smear President Trump’s character.
33. The alleged bookkeeping error that was the basis for this entire criminal trial – marked as “legal expenses” – of which the President had no knowledge, as revealed in the testimony of Robert Costello and others, occurred after the President won the 2016 presidential election! How could the President unlawfully conspire to promote or prevent his election after he had already been elected to federal office? This entire trial operated like a bill of attainder, unlawful to the core.
34. The judge conducted this trial unfairly from start to finish, and treated the defendant, his attorneys, and his witnesses horrendously. He prevented President Trump and his lawyers from bringing in key expert witnesses. He admonished President Trump’s lead attorney, Todd Blanche, on the stand, and cast multiple, unnecessary wanton barbs at him. He excoriated the only pro-Trump witness he allowed to testify, Robert Costello, an experienced lawyer of the SDNY; at one dramatic point, in a complete and unprecedented breach of the code of judicial ethics, Merchan lost his composure and vacated the entire courtroom, press included, because he did not like Costello’s “tone” and “mannerisms” from the witness stand. Merchan allowed Bragg Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass to go on for hours in his summations – allowing Steinglass to explain fundamental aspects of the law, including the burden of proof, for the jury, even though he previously admonished President Trump’s lawyers from making even the slightest reference to the law. He also allowed Steinglass to go on wild tangents unrelated to anything having to do with the alleged crime, allowing discussions of “Bill Clinton” and “Monica Lewinsky” to enter the courtroom. Merchan had previously declared, like a tyrant, that only he can interpret the law in his courtroom. But then he allowed Steinglass to explain the law at great length, over and above the objections of President Trump’s attorneys. Merchan also buttered up the jurors to win over their sympathy, complimenting random things like their “note-taking” skills, attention, and timeliness. All these factors, in addition to everything stated above, are egregious breaches of professional and judicial ethics and serve as grounds for a mistrial.

Even the notorious RINO and former presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is denouncing the sham conviction of President Donald Trump.
In a rigged trial orchestrated by New York Democrats in conjunction with the Biden White House, Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
Romney, who makes no secret of his disdain for the former president and has tried to sabotage him at every turn, argued that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should never have let the case go to trial.
“Bragg should have settled the case against Trump, as would have been the normal procedure. But he made a political decision,” Romney reportedly told his biographer McKay Coppins, a writer at the Atlantic.
“Bragg may have won the battle, for now, but he may have lost the political war,” he continued. “Democrats think they can put out the Trump fire with oxygen. It’s political malpractice.”
Last month, Romney also made the case that Joe Biden should pardon Trump because it would make him seem like the bigger man.
“You may disagree with this, but had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him,” he said in an interview with MSNBC.
“I’d have pardoned President Trump. Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”
Meanwhile, other Republican Senators have warned that they will create havoc in the Senate unless the White House stops politically persecuting its opponents.
Strongly worded statements are not enough.

The American Center for Law and Justice (SCLJ) announced a victory in its fight for a public school teacher’s right to pray.
SCLJ filed suit on behalf of teacher Staci Barber against the Katy, Texas, Independent School District. The school district told Barber it was illegal for her to pray where students could see her, even in a parking lot.
The litigation stems from an incident when Ms. Barber was brought into her principal’s office after she had gathered with two friends and fellow teachers to pray at the school flagpole prior to her workday.
The principal told them that it was against the law for the teachers to pray publicly where students could see them, even denying them the ability to pray in the parking lot.
SCLJ shares that as part of their litigation, the court found that since the school has updated its policy in response to their demand letter, “[A]t present . . . there is no language in the Employee Handbook that explicitly prohibits praying in the presence of students.”
This ruling effectively prevents the school from violating our client’s right to pray even if students might see her.
SCLJ shared news of the victory:
It is a tremendous win for our client because she can now pray when she desires as this case continues to trial.
Because of our initial legal demand, the school removed some language from its policy. But despite Katy Independent School District’s (ISD) purported attempt to correct its policy, our client was still unable to engage in any prayer in the presence of students or to pray publicly, even off the clock, when she was on school grounds. When the school did not respond to our repeated attempts to get this policy corrected and make sure our client could pray, we had no choice but to file this major lawsuiton our client’s behalf to protect her right to pray.
In our lawsuit on behalf of this teacher, we sought a preliminary injunction. Yesterday the judge issued an order regarding our request for an injunction. The judge found that there is no imminent danger of our client being banned from praying in the presence of students anymore because “while it is true that the Employee Handbook originally forbade prayer in the presence of students . . . at present . . . there is no language in the Employee Handbook that explicitly prohibits praying in the presence of students.”
Thus, after many months of the school district refusing to stipulate that our client could pray in the presence of students, the court has now ordered it. And if the school punishes her when she resumes praying while students are present, we can come back to the court with this and hold the school accountable. This ruling represents a major win for what we sought in this lawsuit, and. the order will help protect our client and others like her at Katy ISD.

Official claimed petitions to God were ‘harassment’
Members of the city council in Carlsbad, California, have been scolded for insisting that a chaplain who has prayed “in
Jesus’ name” is guilty of harassment.
It is First Liberty Institute that has sent a letter to the council members urging them to revoke an order from their city manager that “forbids police chaplain JC Cooper and fire chaplain Denny Cooper from concluding prayers at some events ‘in Jesus’ name.'”
“The city council should follow the Supreme Court’s clear statements with respect to prayers such as the chaplains’ and allow them to pray according to their sincere religious beliefs,” explained Kayla Toney, counsel for First Liberty.
The institute explained that JC Cooper is a local pastor who has faithfully served as a volunteer chaplain for the Carlsbad police agency for six years. His father, Denny Cooper, has served as the volunteer chaplain for the fire department for 18 years.
Both provide support, encouragement, and prayer to first responders as they face traumatic situations, the institute said.
“When asked by the police chief to give the invocation at the Carlsbad Police Department Awards Ceremony, JC concluded his prayer, consistent with his long-held beliefs, ‘in Jesus’ name.’ He was later told by the city manager that unless he removed ‘in Jesus’ name’ from his invocation, he would be subject to discipline. He was then told that he could refer to any other name for God, just not ‘Jesus,'” the institute said.
The letter recommending a course correction for the city noted, “The city manager misunderstands the law concerning public chaplains and invocations, and we urge the city council to revisit the decision to censor the chaplains’ prayers. The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause does not require government ‘to purge from the public sphere anything an objective observer could reasonably infer endorses or partakes of the religious.'”
The letter explains in the Kennedy v. Bremerton decision, the Supreme Court overruled the long-criticized ‘endorsement’ test established in the now-defunct Lemon decision, instead providing, “the Establishment Clause must be interpreted by reference to historical practices and understandings.”
The letter to the city explains it is city manager Scott Chadwick who “claimed that invoking ‘Jesus’ was considered harassment, created aa hostile work environment, and lifted one religion above another.”
The legal team explained, “Dating back to the Continental Congress in 1776, the United States has a robust and widely recognized tradition of both public prayer and chaplain programs. The court has explicitly held that governmental bodies may begin their meetings or other events with a prayer or invocation. … While such prayers or invocations may not proselytize or disparage other faiths, chaplains do not have to scrub their prayers of language identifiable to their faith.
“Government should not censor prayers in an attempt to make them ‘generic’ or ‘nonsectarian.’ … Indeed, in an increasingly diverse and pluralistic environment, it would be ‘daunting, if not impossible,’ to write an invocation that would be ‘inclusive beyond dispute,’ nor does the Constitution require anything of the sort—and ‘some may feel that they cannot in good faith deliver such a vague prayer.'”

Sorry, Democrats. You’re stuck with Joe Biden.
This weekend on the Bill Maher show, Bill asked former Obama adviser David Axelrod about the idea of replacing Joe Biden on the Democrat ticket with someone else.
Axelrod poured cold water all over the idea, saying that it’s a ‘fantasy’ and that Biden is not going anywhere.
FOX News reported:
David Axelrod swats Bill Maher’s suggestion Biden could be swapped from Dem ticket: ‘Fantasy’
Maher cited one of Axelrod’s own past comments suggesting he thought there was plenty of “talent” within the Democratic Party who could “emerge” as the new standard-bearer.
“The debate is June 27, and we’ve never had one before the convention,” Maher said. “If Joe really s—s the bed, would that be a good opportunity to make the switch then?”
“Listen, that is a fantasy that I hear a lot,” Axelrod responded. “I like Joe Biden and I worked with him and I was grateful to work with him and I think he’s done a lot of very, very fine things as president for which history will be kind him. That’s not the question. The question is whether at this age you should have run, but he did run. And right now he is the nominee of the Democratic Party.”
“This is not 1968 where the convention is gonna decide. We changed the rules. Voters nominate a candidate. They’ve nominated Joe Biden, and he’s not going anywhere,” Axelrod told Maher. “There’s no generation of elders who are gonna go to the White House and tell him that he can’t run. He is going to run and one of the reasons they want an early debate I’m sure is to focus people on this is the choice! It’s Trump and Biden.”
Here’s the video:
Despite Bill Maher and other top Democrats' fears about Joe Biden, David Axelrod assures that Biden will not be swapped out for another candidate:

However much you despise the media, it isn’t enough.
The liberal outlet ‘Politico’ has just published a piece about Alvin Bragg and his case against Trump, but calls Bragg the ‘reluctant’ prosecutor.
That’s pretty funny, considering that Bragg ran for office on the campaign promise that he would ‘get’ Trump.
The Politico piece is pure garbage, praising Bragg for his assault on justice:
This reluctant prosecutor just made Donald Trump a felon
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg won more than just the case when a jury found Donald Trump guilty of 34 felony counts.
The Harlem Democrat, who at times seemed like a reluctant participant in a trial he launched, secured a place in history as the first prosecutor to land the conviction of an American president.
It’s easily one of the most dazzling feats of jurisprudence the nation has seen — and the sort of accomplishment that could launch him on a political rocket ship to Washington. Indeed, the conviction Thursday drew immediate praise and gratitude from Democrats, who see the former president as a unique threat to democracy — while also intensifying attacks from his supporters and the freshly convicted candidate himself, who has called the case a “witch hunt” and a “sham trial” organized by President Joe Biden.
Politico got called out, big time:

The crowd at UFC 302 in Newark, NJ, unleashed a powerful message of discontent with the current administration, punctuated by chants of “F—k Joe Biden” and “We Want Trump.”
Just two days after an unconstitutional guilty verdict in his Manhattan “hush money” trial, Trump appeared publicly, walking into a venue erupting with cheers and standing ovations.
As Trump made his entrance, the atmosphere was electric. The audience's reaction was not merely applause—it was a loud, resonant endorsement of his enduring influence and a clear rebuke of the forces they perceived as trying to silence him.
The cheers escalated to a crescendo when Trump took his seat; almost immediately, a spontaneous chant of "F—k Joe Biden" erupted throughout the arena.
"Moments after Donald Trump takes his seat at tonight’s UFC fight in Newark, the audience breaks out into a spontaneous “Fuck Joe Biden” chant," NYT reporter Shawn McCreesh wrote.

In a resounding display of public support, former President Donald Trump was met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation as he made his first public appearance at UFC 302 in Newark, NJ, just two days after a controversial and widely criticized guilty verdict in his Manhattan “hush money” trial.
The Prudential Center in New Jersey erupted into cheers as Trump, undeterred by the recent legal battles, stepped into the venue, signaling not just support but a profound backlash against a corrupt judicial process aimed at undermining his political influence.
The conviction, occurring merely 10 miles away in New York, has been slammed as a product of a kangaroo court led by partisan interests.

This is Trump’s first public appearance since he held a press conference at Trump Tower Friday after he was convicted on 34 sham felony charges in the New York City courthouse on Thursday.
“We’re going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn’t allow us to talk. He wouldn’t allow us to do anything,” said Trump during his press conference.
Trump is expected to appeal Merchan’s ruling to greatly restrict the testimony of Trump’s star witness, former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith, who would have exalted Trump of any alleged, bogus, fake crime.
“He was waiting for two days, and when it was his turn, Bragg’s people protested, and the judge knocked him out and said you can’t testify. He actually said you can’t testify for anything having to do with the trial; you can say what the federal elections is. Well, that doesn’t help. Everybody knows that. But you can’t testify,” said Trump at one point during his press conference
“It all comes out of the White House,” said Trump of his political persecution. He continued, “Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country.
He’s the worst president in the history of our country, the most incompetent; he’s the dumbest president we’ve ever had. He’s the dumbest President, most incompetent president, and he’s the most dishonest president we’ve ever had.”
Trump gave an outstanding speech that wasn’t a campaign stump speech, and he spoke so clearly and powerfully for 33 straight minutes. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is “a man who can’t put two sentences together,” as Trump noted during his press conference. This is why the prosecution and Merchan placed Trump under a gag order.
Trump’s campaign revealed on Friday that Donald Trump’s reelection campaign had raised nearly $53 MILLION off of his conviction in Merchan’s Kangaroo Court!
Keep in mind that Joe Biden previously set a record with an event that raked in a previously unprecedented $25 million. About a week later, Trump set another record unprecedented event with a fundraising amount of over $50 million!
President Trump’s nearly $53 Million in 24 hours is not something to be totally surprised about as the Americans denounce political prosecution.

Former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin reacted to the Trump verdict this week and released a statement reminding people who the real threat to democracy is in this case. It’s Joe Biden and the Democrats.
Zeldin points out what pretty much everyone knows. That Alvin Bragg ran on ‘getting’ Trump for something, anything really.
Zeldin published his statement on Twitter.
This political persecution, designed to interfere with the 2024 election, was a disgusting abuse and weaponization of the criminal justice system. This ruling is obviously going to be overturned on appeal, but, for Democrats, this case was never about the merits. pic.twitter.com/rde2prugV2

Townhall has transcribed parts of the copy:
This case should have never been brought forward in the first place. This political persecution, designed to interfere with the 2024 election, was a disgusting abuse and weaponization of the criminal justice system. This ruling is obviously going to be overturned on appeal, but, for Democrats, this case was never about the merits. This was a coordinated effort by a District Attorney fulfilling a campaign pledge to prosecute Trump without the slightest clue of the possible charge. With the help of the Biden Justice Department, this sham trial was a campaign inside of a campaign to secure a talking point, regardless of how much damage it could cause to our country and criminal justice system…
There is no greater threat to Democracy than Joe Biden and the Democrats trying to lock up Biden’s chief political opposition for the rest of his life, keep Trump off the campaign trail, bankrupt him and his family, remove him from the November ballot, and deny Americans the right to choose for themselves who they want to elect as their next President. This all serves as a reminder of just how urgent and necessary our victory will be November 5th.
Zeldin made similar points during an appearance on ABC News:
The world witnessed today the conclusion of one of the most un-American political persecutions that will ever take place in our country. This case will be successfully appealed, but for Biden, Bragg and the Democrats, this was never about the merits. pic.twitter.com/JxE0WXny9U

While Melinda Gates has discussed her Catholic upbringing, she seems to embrace the same cafeteria Catholic approach used by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi to justify a myriad of horrid behaviors, including embracing, championing, and funding abortion.
On May 28, 2024, she announced plans to give tens of millions of dollars globally to support abortion through the foundation she founded in 2015, Pivotal Ventures.
Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, told The National Catholic Register, “Melinda French Gates could do much to help women and their preborn children on the national — and even international level — yet she has decided instead to pour money into the abortion industry that already makes billions of dollars by taking the lives of innocent preborn children.”
“Tragically, this kind of ‘help’ destroys lives and damages women.”
And Gates has promised lots of money to destroy lives, approximately $200 million.
Pivotal Ventures said the new grants are “aimed at supercharging the work of organizations that are fighting in the U.S. to advance women’s power and protect their rights, including reproductive freedom.”
The National Catholic Register reports that some of the abortion-supporting recipients of Gates’ largesse include:

Leading German Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger was attacked by a crazed Muslim with a knife and nearly killed at a rally in Mannheim Friday. A police officer was also seriously injured after tackling the wrong person and turning his back on the terrorist. A total of 6 people were injured.
Michael Stürzenberger has been raising awareness of the threat posed by what he calls “political Islam” since a friend of his was killed in the Mumbai Hotel Attack 2008. Stürzenberger rejects the use of terms like “radical Islam” and “Islamism,” claiming that Islam is not merely a religion but a political ideology that always seeks to assume power once in the plurality.
Thoroughly censored and defamed by legacy media, he holds street rallies with supporters of the Civil Movement Pax Europa (BPE), where he often debates with angry young Muslim men in amazingly cool-headed fashion.
The German government has sought to jail him on ridiculous charges, even though Stürzenberger takes great pains to obey the law and refrain from attacking “all Muslims.”
The Gateway Pundit has reported on the campaign against Stürzenberger for years.
Donald Trump Jr. shared a video of Stürzenberger and fellow Islam critic Irfan Peci 2023, in which a young Muslim man stated “we must use violence to institute an Islamic state once Muslims are a majority”.
Anyone with a brain knew this was coming but the woke morons in charge will continue to welcome in their own demise till it’s too late. https://t.co/Gpx6WbH9iL

Stürzenberger and his supporters have continued their brave work despite constant death threats and occasional attacks.
Now, after pro-Hamas protestors have taken to the streets in Germany unopposed, calling for the institution of Sharia law and a caliphate in Germany, an Afghan man identified as Sulaiman (25) felt emboldened enough to attack Stürzenberger with a combat knife in Mannheim Friday, May 31.
The video makes clear the police, who are usually tasked with harassing Stürzenberger and supporters rather than defend him, did not know how to respond.
The first officer to intervene tackled a Stürzenberger supporter and was then stabbed in the neck after turning his back on the terrorist. One of six officers looking on finally opened fire after 15 seconds, injuring the terrorist.

The Gateway Pundit is in touch with Michael Stürzenberger in his hospital bed, from where he sends thanks to all his supporters. He was stabbed in the face from the cheek to the lips, the chest near the lungs, and the thigh near an artery.
Fortunately, he is now in stable condition and vowing to continue the fight for freedom with a smile:
“It was really close call yesterday. Just now, four doctors came for the ward rounds.”
“The stab wound to the side of the chest, which went towards the lung, could have been life-threatening.”
“The stab wound to the thigh hit veins and caused significant blood loss.”
“There was also a second stab wound to the leg above the knee, fortunately without injuring the tendon.”
“The injury to the upper arm is relatively minor. It’s different with the stabs to the face.”
“I have staples in the side of my jaw. The upper lip was stitched, I had a gaping open wound up to the teeth.”
“A big thank you to all the doctors and the facial surgeons who came especially from a specialized clinic.
“What a single Afghan “refugee” can do with a knife…“

Conservative champion, Hungary’s PM Viktor Orbán, is a politician with very strong geopolitical views and a willingness to implement those views, even against fierce pressure.
On the one hand, we have his heroic anti-war stance as in Orbán’s Hungary ‘Redefining’ Relationship With NATO, Will Not Participate in Any Ukraine Operations.
On the other, we have a leader that is calling for the right to organize and seize power in the European Union, as in ‘The EU Leadership Has Got to Go’: Hungarian PM Orbán Kicks off Campaign for European Elections With a Call to ‘Occupy Brussels’.
So it stands to reason that Orbán would call for the union of two of the biggest conservative figures in the continent, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French RN party leader Marine Le Pen.
Meloni is on a good footing right now, as Conservative PM Giorgia Meloni’s Italy is the Fastest Growing European Economy, Leaving Liberal Germany Behind.
She has also manifested hope of a united right, as in Italian PM Meloni Will Run in June European Elections, Wants To ‘Bring Together the Centre-Right Forces and Send the Left Into Opposition’.
Having said that, the relationship with Marine Le Pen is said to be far from close. We indeed see Le Pen usually teaming with other conservative forces in Italy, as in Conservative Bond: Italian Salvini and French Le Pen United Against Mass Migration, Ahead of EU Elections Next Year.
But Marine Le Pen has now publicly asked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to form a ‘right-wing super group’ in the next European Parliament – a call echoed by Orbán.
Politico reported:
“In an interview with French weekly magazine Le Point, the Hungarian prime minister said the ‘future of the sovereignist camp in Europe, and of the right in general, now rests in the hands of two women’, arguing that if the French far-right figurehead and Italian leader work together ‘within a single group or a coalition, they will be a force for Europe’.
Meloni’s party, Brothers of Italy, currently sits with the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) in the EU parliament, while Le Pen’s National Rally is part of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group.”
With conservatives expected to surge in the June 6-9 EU election, Le Pen advocates for a single rightwing group.
Such a group could become the second force in Parliament.
“Orbán shares Le Pen’s vision. The momentum which would result from such a partnership ‘could be enough to reshape the configuration of the European right, or even supplant the European People’s Party’, he said.”
Orbán’s party left the European People’s Party (EPP) in 2021.
While holding talks to join Meloni’s ‘European Conservatives and Reformists’, he wants to understand the ECR relationship with Le Pen’s ‘Identity and Democracy’ — which the Hungarians favor — and the EPP, which Orbán criticizes as being ‘under German influence’.
“’Apart from the number of seats a particular party wins, the most important thing, in my opinion, will be the number of MEPs prepared to go further in the war in Ukraine and the number who will be in favor of ending it’, said Orbán, who has frequently opposed European sanctions against Russia and aid packages for Ukraine as it fends off Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion.”

As reported earlier, Alex Jones, the host and founder of InfoWars, claims during a live emergency broadcast Saturday that the federal government is orchestrating a forceful takeover of his broadcasting studios.
According to Jones, federal agents could put locks on the doors and liquidate all broadcasting assets. Jones alleges that he even spent the night in his studio and has prepared to involve local law enforcement to prevent what he describes as an unlawful raid on his property.
In a video posted Friday with the caption, “BREAKING! INFOWARS May Be Shutdown in 48 Hours,” Jones said, “The deep state thinks they’re taking down Trump. And hours after they have their false conviction, they’re making their move to shut down InfoWars right now.”
Jones has been vocal about the attacks on his platform over the past six years including de-platforming, deep state interference, and rigged trials. Despite these challenges, InfoWars has managed to survive due to overwhelming public support. However, Jones warns that this latest assault could be the final blow.
“I learned at 4:00 PM today, just a few hours ago, that Infowars was going to be shut and closed tonight. We have hired security here, a private contractor. They were told, ‘Get ready to close the doors, change the locks, and InfoWars is going to be shut down,'” Jones said Friday.
“I learned about this and said, ‘Well, I’m going to go expose this. I’m going to talk about this. This is all having the bankruptcy. It’s not the court doing it.’ I’ll reveal who’s behind it soon. And so I made some phone calls and did some things. They said, ‘Okay, we’ll back off for now if you do X, Y, and Z.’ I don’t believe anything I’m being told. So when I tell you that this could be the last show I ever do from Infowars, 50% chance. There’s a 50% chance this has what’s happening right now,” he added.
On Saturday evening Alex Jones broke down on his show as he spoke about the horrible abuse by the federal government.
This was heartbreaking.
Steve Bannon told Alex to “take them to the mattresses” this afternoon.
The cast of Infowars, including Owen Shroyer, sat with him during their broadcast on Saturday.
It appears supporters have gathered outside the property in support of Alex and Infowars.
Here is a second video of Alex Jones emotionally spent by the abuse he is under by the federal government.

What a joke. After spending the last three years destroying America with mass illegal immigration, the Biden regime wants to convince Americans that they actually care about the border crisis.
It can only be an election year.
The regime has begun to reach out to mayors of border towns to join crooked Joe Biden when he makes his announcement regarding executive action to try and curb border chaos.
Too little, too late.
The Biden administration is preparing to roll out a sweeping border executive action as early as Tuesday, according to two sources familiar with the discussions, who cautioned that timing is fluid.
White House officials have begun reaching out to mayors who represent cities along the US southern border to potentially join President Joe Biden when he announces the order, two other sources familiar with those conversations said.

When asked in March, Biden claimed that he did not have the authority to take executive action at the border.
“We need more forces on the border! I don’t have the authority to do that!” Biden shouted.

In late May, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy on CBS’s “Face the Nation” claimed that if Biden issues executive orders for the border, it would have little effect.
“The President could take executive action and has been talking about it since back in February when Homeland Security Secretary mentioned it was being considered. Should he just get caught trying?” Brennan asked.
“The President has such limited ability to issue executive orders that would have an impact on the border. He can’t conjure resources out of thin air,” Senator Murphy responded.

The Biden regime’s actions over the last 3 years clearly show that they have no intention of securing the border. Last year, they even sold off unused portions of President Trump’s border wall material for pennies on the dollar. That is proof positive that they were taking proactive steps to make the border even more open.
The cumulative damage of an open border for over 3 years has resulted in an estimated 10 to 12 million illegals entering our country. That is not counting the millions that were here previously.
The last three-year total of illegals entering the US is equivalent to the population of 41 individual states. This is not sustainable for our nation.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is one of the major influences keeping the border open. In February while on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he dodged all responsibility and blamed the border crisis on a “broken system.”

Chicago is engulfed in a seemingly endless crime wave.
Over Memorial Day weekend alone, there were at least 41 shootings with 9 fatalities, according to the Chicago Police Department.
In Alderman Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth’s 48th Ward, robberies and sex crimes are at their highest level in over a decade.
But Manaa-Hoppenwort said she will no longer post crime alerts on social media or send crime alerts to her constituent email list.
In a blog post, she shared that “over-reporting,” or more accurately ACTUALLY reporting crime, leads to an inaccurate public perception about crime rates.”
Our updated alert system is based not only input from our community but is also informed by research from recent years that shows how over-reporting of crime leads to an inaccurate public perception about crime rates. Research also shows us that over-reporting of crime negatively impacts our most marginalized and underserved neighbors.
Read more about the influence of crime media on the public’s expectations of crime rates here. [MDPI]
Read more about how over-reporting of crime in neighborhood safety apps influence perception of crime here. [APA]
While subscribers must now opt in to receive crime alerts, note that doing so does not guarantee that you will receive an alert for every instance of crime in the ward. We will continue to send alerts based on the questions and research above and the capacity of our team.
Constituents who want to keep their families safe in her Ward will now have to “opt in” or call the local police districts.
It’s strange that Manaa-Hoppenworth would take this moment to stop telling grown adults about the ward’s rising violent crime problem. Four men were shot in her ward between May 22 and May 27 in three separate incidents, according to Chicago police.
The first two shootings occurred at the exact same address, according to CPD records. Manaa-Hoppenworth tried to explain away the first shooting by saying it was “isolated.” That came back to bite her when the second shooting occurred at literally the same location. We ribbed her about that. Anyone want to bet our nudge was a major factor in her decision to shut up about crime?
Year-to-date shooting incidents in the 48th ward are at the highest level since 2015, according to the city’s data portal. As of May 13, 41 robberies had been reported this year in Manaa-Hoppenworth’s ward. That’s up 78% compared to the same time last year, and it’s the highest number of year-to-date robberies since 2012.
Also at the highest level in her ward since at least 2012 are criminal sexual assaults. There have been 14 reported so far this year, up from six at this point last year.

New Dallas Mavericks owner and casino tycoon Miriam Adelson has confirmed her backing for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign by pledging to be a primary financier for the Preserve America super PAC.
This continues the legacy she and her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, established as prominent donors in Republican political circles. During the 2020 election cycle, the couple generously donated $90 million to the super PAC that supported Trump.
Adelson, whose net worth hovers around a staggering $29.5 billion, has decisively ended her neutrality from the Republican primaries, choosing instead to throw her considerable financial weight behind Trump’s campaign. Her involvement is poised to inject an unprecedented level of funding and confidence into the Trump camp.
Dave Carney, a seasoned Republican strategist and head of the Preserve America super PAC told Reuters, “Our goal is to raise more than we did last time, which was about $100 million.” Although specific figures from Adelson remain undisclosed.
Politico reported:
Adelson, who is the principal shareholder of Las Vegas Sands and who also has a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks with her son-in-law, has an estimated net worth of $33.3 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Adelson’s expected investment represents a major boost for Trump, who has been cultivating her as part of a broader effort to bring major GOP donors into the fold. The former president has met with Adelson a handful of times in recent months and has also spoken with her on the phone, according to another person familiar with the talks. Adelson decided to sit out the Republican primary despite being wooed by a number of candidates.
Trump has been looking to make up a substantial fundraising gap with Biden and is leaning on big donors for help. Through the end of April, Biden’s campaign account had $84 million cash on hand, compared to $49 million for Trump.
Adelson’s relationship with Trump stretches back years. Miriam and Sheldon had a seat on the dais at Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and in 2018 Trump awarded Miriam, a physician who specializes in drug addiction rehabilitation, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In a 2021 POLITICO story about Miriam Adelson’s political activity, Trump praised her as a “wonderful woman who her husband loved greatly and, at the same time, respected for her great intelligence.”

According to the CBP, 3,593 Chinese illegal aliens were caught after crossing the southern border in May of this year alone. 98 percent of them were in the San Diego sector in California. San Diego sector also had hundreds of illegals from each country: Jordan, Turkey, and Mauritania in May.
The two busiest sectors for the month of May were the Tucson sector, with over 33,000 illegals apprehended, and the San Diego sector, with over 32,000 illegals. These numbers don’t count “got aways”.
The total number of illegals caught at the southern border for May was about a shocking 118,000, with over 6,000 of them coming from countries that could be a threat to national security. Illegal aliens are being let into the US on a daily basis in numerous ways, including ports of entry with the CBP One App, and illegal crossings at various parts of the border.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is one of the key players in keeping the border intentionally open. He has refused to take responsibility and instead blames the border crisis on a “broken system” when he was on NBCs “Meet the Press” in February.

“We don’t bear responsibility for a broken system,” Mayorkas continued.

While French President Emmanuel Macron struts around the world warmongering on Ukraine, or else fear-mongering about ‘climate change,’ the country he was supposed to take care of is falling apart.
A floundering economy, a chaotic society made worse by unchecked mass migration, and now, to top it all, Macron got a brutal wakeup call yesterday (May 31), as Standard & Poor’s cut its long-term sovereign credit rating from AA to AA−.
Coming on the eve of the European Elections that his party is projected to lose by a landslide, many see this as ‘probably his darkest day in office.’
Bloomberg reported:
“In a statement on Friday, the credit assessor highlighted the French government’s missed goals in plans to restrain the budget deficit after huge spending during the Covid pandemic and energy crisis.
S&P said that although reforms and a recovery in economic growth will improve the situation, the hole will remain above 3% of gross domestic product in 2027.”
The reduction from AA to AA- trashes Macron’s claim as an economic reformer.
Polls are showing his Renaissance group trailing way behind Marine Le Pen’s National Rally.
“Le Pen seized on the S&P decision to call on voters to sanction Macron at EU election. She also called other opposition lawmakers to support the latest no-confidence motion her party has proposed to bring down his government.
‘The catastrophic management of public finances by governments that are as incompetent as they are arrogant has put our country in grave difficulties, with record taxes, deficits and debts’, she said in a message on X late Friday.”
S&P sees France’s general government debt as a share of GDP increasing to about 112% of GDP by 2027 – from about 109% in 2023.
Finance Minister Bruno Maire tried to put a good spin on the news, saying that the reason for the downgrade is that the government ‘saved the French economy’ during the COVID lockdowns. Yeah, right.
“S&P said the agenda will continue to face strong opposition, both from parliament, where the government has no absolute majority, and from protests, like those seen against pension reform in 2023. ‘Political fragmentation will likely make the continued implementation of policies to address economic and budgetary imbalances somewhat uncertain’.”

This week on Blessed News ‘Inside J6’, I sat down with author and journalist Jack Cashill to discuss his long-running investigations into the real stories behind January 6th. He has written numerous books. However, his most recent one is specifically about the events of that day. “Ashli: The Untold Stories of the Women of January 6th.” Cashill often states, “The real question is not why thousands of women went to Washington on January 6. The real question is why the rest of us did not.”
Although Cashill was not physically present in our nation’s capitol on January 6th, 2021, he began writing about the events in the following days. Cashill mentions that, for the first time ever, one of the publications he writes for edited out part of his article. The part they edited out was Cashill prophesizing that January 6th will go down as a celebrated “Mid-Year 4th of July.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slapped down Joe Biden’s plan for ending the war in Gaza, dismissing it as a “non-starter.”
During an address at the White House on Friday, Biden unveiled his three-part plan for ending the conflict that involved an immediate ceasefire from Israeli forces before negotiating a “permanent end to hostilities.”
“I know there are those in Israel who will not agree with this plan and will call for the war to continue indefinitely,” Biden said. “Some — some are even in the government coalition.”

“And they’ve made it clear: They want to occupy Gaza, they want to keep fighting for years, and the hostages are not a priority to them. Well, I’ve urged the leadership in Israel to stand behind this deal, despite whatever pressure comes.”
In a statement on Saturday, the Israeli government dismissed the plan and said Israel’s position had not hcanged.
“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” Netanyahu said.
“Under the proposal, Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put in place,” he continued. “The notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter.”

Biden’s big idea comes as he continues to hemorrhage support from the left wing of the Democratic Party, many of whom have pledged not to vote for him and accused him of being complicit in a genocide against the Palestinian people.
Just this week, a poll from the American Arab Institute found that Donald Trump was leading Joe Biden by 14 points among Arab Americans in the run-up to this year’s presidential election. The survey also found that 88 percent of Arab Americans disapprove of his handling of the conflict.

A massive rally took place across central London on Saturday as patriotic Brits voiced their opposition to the mass immigration that has destroyed their beautiful city.
The rally was attended by journalist Andy Ngo, who estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 people attended in what the liberal media dubbed a “far-right” gathering.

In a recent conversation with leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) shared her agreement with Piker’s statement that the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against civilians was ‘direct consequence’ of the Abraham Accords.
The moment came as the two were reacting live to Donald Trump’s massive rally in the Bronx last week.
Piker claimed that the attack was a “direct consequence of the Abraham Accords and many of Jared Kushner’s and Donald Trump administration’s actions like moving the embassy to Jerusalem.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded “10,000%.”
The two were responding to President Trump’s assertion during the rally that Oct. 7 would not have happened with him in the White House.
Piker continued, “He is just as responsible for October 7 as anyone else. The fact that he is saying that October 7 would have never happened is ridiculous when it directly happened as a direct consequence of him moving the embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing the annexed territory of Golan Heights as Israeli territory, going against international law, and also conducting the Abraham Accords completely sidestepping the Palestinians on the conversation.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded, “Absolutely.”
Watch:
Fellow Democrat Congressman Brad Schneider (D-IL) took issue with AOC’s reckless and ignorant comments.
“The Abraham Accords have been the most important step forward toward peace between Israelis and Arabs, and the region as a whole, in more than two decades. I was proud to witness the signing of the accords on the White House lawn, and I am honored to co-chair the bipartisan, bicameral Abraham Accords Caucus working to reinforce and expand the prospects for peace and prosperity for all the people of the Middle East.”
“It is both ignorant and abhorrent to suggest that pursuing peace—recognizing that both Arabs and Jews belong to this land and must find a way to live together in this land—either caused or justified Hamas’s barbaric attack on Oct. 7. If anything, Hamas timed its attack in an effort to thwart movement towards peace and advance its, and Iran’s, genocidal ambition to destroy Israel and kill Jews.”
“The Abraham Accords, for the first time, fully recognize and put into writing that all people of the Middle East, including Jews and Arabs, are destined to live together, and that by recognizing this, they can help lift each other up and create a better future for themselves and their children.”
“Conversely, Iran and its proxies—including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis—are hell-bent on destroying any progress towards peace to make their hateful vision of eliminating Israel and Jews into a reality.“
“My colleagues should all recognize this simple truth and measure their words and statements accordingly.”
@AOC is in 10,000% agreement with the ridiculous idea that the Abraham Accords led to the Oct 7th massacre.
While Hamas was busy building terror tunnels & smuggling weapons, the Accords spread peace throughout the region.
AOC shouldn’t be taken seriouslypic.twitter.com/L3LNR8he9K

North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, is once again flexing his ballistic muscles in a threat to South Korea and the US.
We have been following the ‘Rocket Man’ activity for the last couple of years, and it’s getting increasingly disturbing.
To begin with, we know that North Korea Has Sent Moscow SEVEN THOUSAND CONTAINERS of Missiles and Ammo.
After that, how North Korea Says Missile Launch a Nuclear ‘Warning Signal’ to US.
Days ago, it was reported: BREAKING – North Korea Launches Ballistic Missile Towards Japan – Residents of Okinawa Told To Hide in Shelters.
It turns out that it was in fact, a failed spy-satellite launch.
But yesterday (May 31), Kim Jong Un supervised a MASSIVE drill involving the firing of nuclear-capable multiple rocket launchers.
North Korea state media stressed that this is a way of showing ‘the country’s ability to carry out a preemptive attack’ on rival South Korea.
“North Korea has simulated nuclear strikes on South Korea numerous times, but the latest drills came after animosities on the Korean Peninsula rose over North Korea’s recent failed spy satellite launch.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency reported that the rocket firing drills were meant to demonstrate North Korea’s resolve not to hesitate in launching a preemptive strike on South Korea if threatened. It cited Kim as saying that the drills ‘will serve as an occasion in clearly showing what consequences our rivals will face if they provoke us’.”
Events in the Korean Peninsula always proceed as an endless series of provocations and responses.
This time, the drills came as a response to a South Korean aerial exercise.
North Korea reacted angrily at criticism of its satellite launch, arguing that it has the sovereign right to send satellites into orbit.
“Also this week, North Korea flew hundreds of huge balloons into South Korea carrying manure and other trash, and allegedly jammed GPS navigation signals in the South. There were no reports of any substantial damage.”
On its part, South Korean may resume loudspeaker broadcasts into North Korea.
The psychological warfare sonic weapon includes criticism of human rights situation, world news and K-pop songs.
“The North Korean firing exercises appeared to be short-range ballistic missile test-launches that South Korea detected from North Korea’s capital region on Thursday. Experts say North Korea’s large artillery rockets blur the boundary between artillery systems and short-range ballistic missiles because they can create their own thrust and are guided during delivery.”

Alex Jones, the host and founder of InfoWars, claims during a live emergency broadcast Saturday that the federal government is orchestrating a forceful takeover of his broadcasting studios.
According to Jones, federal agents could put locks on the doors and liquidate all broadcasting assets. Jones alleges that he even spent the night in his studio and has prepared to involve local law enforcement to prevent what he describes as an unlawful raid on his property.
In a video posted Friday with the caption, “BREAKING! INFOWARS May Be Shutdown in 48 Hours,” Jones said, “The deep state thinks they’re taking down Trump. And hours after they have their false conviction, they’re making their move to shut down InfoWars right now.”
Jones has been vocal about the attacks on his platform over the past six years including de-platforming, deep state interference, and rigged trials. Despite these challenges, InfoWars has managed to survive due to overwhelming public support. However, Jones warns that this latest assault could be the final blow.
“I learned at 4:00 PM today, just a few hours ago, that Infowars was going to be shut and closed tonight. We have hired security here, a private contractor. They were told, ‘Get ready to close the doors, change the locks, and InfoWars is going to be shut down,'” Jones said Friday.
“I learned about this and said, ‘Well, I’m going to go expose this. I’m going to talk about this. This is all having the bankruptcy. It’s not the court doing it.’ I’ll reveal who’s behind it soon. And so I made some phone calls and did some things. They said, ‘Okay, we’ll back off for now if you do X, Y, and Z.’ I don’t believe anything I’m being told. So when I tell you that this could be the last show I ever do from Infowars, 50% chance. There’s a 50% chance this has what’s happening right now,” he added.
“We may be shut down [Saturday]. And this is where we are right now. And it is so horrible. It is so disgusting. And it’s because we’re viable. It’s because we’re hard to kill. It’s because we keep coming back. We don’t give up, and we’re not going to give up. This will not be a victory for them, shutting this place down,” Jones said.
In these uncertain times, Jones is asking for support from his followers. He has urged them to continue supporting InfoWars and his father’s company, drjonesnaturals.com.
“We are under global attack, just like President Trump. And you should donate to him. He’s raised like $60 million in the last 24 hours. That’s great. And get behind Trump 100 %. But the main satellite attack fleets, the main frigates supporting the capital ship, the mother ship, the flagship, we need your support.”

This should not come as a surprise. Last month, a CIA officer/former FBI official was on an undercover video boasting about using the might of the federal government to ‘jail anyone’ by ‘setting them up.’
Gavin O’Blennis, a Contracting Officer for the CIA told an undercover journalist with Sound Investigations that the FBI “can put anyone in jail…set ’em up!”
“We call it a nudge,” O’Blennis said, adding the FBI can put “problematic” right-wing journalists like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones in jail.
O’Blennis said of Infowars founder Alex Jones: The FBI “took his money away,” and ‘chopped his legs off.’
Alex Jones stated that he had previously been aware of a CIA-FBI-led Deep State operation targeting him, which was revealed during a court case in Connecticut where it emerged that the FBI was involved, advising the operation.
“It came out in court in Connecticut in the staged trial where the judge already found me guilty that the FBI was a party to it and was advising them and going through all the discovery, trying to find something to put me in jail,” Jones told Steve Bannon in an interview.

Liberal Newsnation anchor Dan Abrams got completely owned by former Fox News host Megyn Kelly while debating her on the disgraceful Trump guilty verdict Thursday night.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, the rigged New York City jury convicted President Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
A giddy Merchan saluted the jury members for their “dedication and hard work” after one of American history’s greatest travesties of justice. The next step is the sentencing phase on July 11, where Merchan will have a chance to throw Trump behind bars.
Merchan to jurors: I really admire your dedication and hard work. You worked very hard and gave this matter the attention it deserves.

Abrams invited Kelly onto his eponymous show, Dan Abrams Live, to allow her to weigh in on this despicable assault on America. The conversation soon blew up Abrams’s face when he decided to assert Trump was guilty of “wrongdoing” for paying $130,000 to Stormy Daniels to protect his 2016 Presidential campaign even if what Trump supposedly did was not technically illegal.
Pathological liar Michael Cohen was the person who paid off Daniels. Moreover, there is no evidence Trump actually ordered him to do so or even had an affair with her to begin with.
Kelly fired back by saying she did not know what kind of marriage Donald and Melania Trump have while citing Bill and Hillary’s open marriage in comparison. They continued sparring over whether paying off Daniels was an example of wrongdoing and immorality.
However, things went off the rails for Abrams when he asked Kelly whether Trump falsified business records. Kelly replied, “There’s nothing wrong” with paying hush money to protect an NDA.
Abrams argued that this would be different if campaign finance laws were involved, and he became enraged when Kelly pointed out that he was wrong and had no clue what he was talking about. She explained paying hush money “does not amount to a campaign contribution if it is the kind of payment that could ever be made outside of the campaign context.”
An ignorant Abrams, unaware he had just been schooled, closed by claiming the standard is sustainability (which it’s not).
WATCH (exchange begins at roughly the 2:50 mark):
ABRAMS: Okay, let me back up. You don’t think he falsified business records either?
KELLY: I don’t know that he did.
ABRAMS: What does that mean?! We just had a whole trial! We heard every detail of this! How can you not know?
KELLY: I don’t think he wrote down hush money payments to Stormy Daniels… I think someone at the Trump Organization wrote down legal expenses, and that made as much sense as anything else because hush money wasn’t an option.
He (Trump) was paying his lawyer who made the payment to Stormy Daniels and was I believe reimbursing him (Cohen) though he (Cohen) denied that on the stand. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. You paid your lawyer because they outlay money for you…You can easily classify that as a legal expense.
ABRAMS (scoffing): No matter what it’s for? Even if it’s illegal conduct?
KELLY: This wasn’t illegal. There’s nothing illegal about paying hush money for an NDA.
ABRAMS: There’s not, but when you’re doing it to protect your campaign, it is. That’s the difference.
KELLY: What law are you citing, Dan?
ABRAMS: Campaign finance laws!
KELLY: Wrong! You don’t know what you’re talking about! You’re wrong!
ABRAMS: Explain to me then. Tell me what I’m getting wrong.
KELLY: It does not amount to a campaign contribution if it is the kind of payment that could ever be made outside of the campaign context.
ABRAMS: That’s not the standard. The standard is substantiality!
KELLY: It’s not.
ABRAMS: It is!
Kelly is right. As Gateway Pundit readers know, the prosecution completely failed to clearly define the so-called “criminal” act or any wrongdoing committed by Trump.
But the court convicted him anyway out of pure hatred.

Major American companies are scaling back their “Pride Month” celebrations over fears that they may become subject to a conservative boycott.
Pride celebrations last the entire month of June, and over recent years, companies have gone all out to promote LGBT products, services, influencers, parades, and other related activities.
However, conservative boycotts against companies such as Target and Bud Light have made executives think twice about shoving rainbow flags down the throats of their customers.
USA Today notes:
Love-themed Mickey Mouse backpacks. Pronoun pins. “Not a Phase” hoodies. “So gay for each other” greeting cards. Every year, national brands cozy up to LGBTQ+ Americans with colorful merchandise for Pride Month. This June, those displays may not be as loud and proud.
…
Mainstream brands used to brush off anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment. That changed last year when conservatives organized boycotts online that slashed sales.
National retail chain Target moved its Pride displays from the entrances to the back of stores after conservative activists confronted employees and vandalized displays. This year, Target is scaling back its Pride collection and won’t carry the collection in all stores.
Bud Light, owned by beer giant Anheuser-Busch, is still struggling after last year’s conservative blowback over a social media campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Last month, Target made a point of emphasizing that its Pride collection will focus on “adult apparel” after they were found to be promoting LGBT propaganda for children.
“We’re offering a collection of products, including adult apparel and home and food and beverage items, curated based on consumer feedback,” the company stated. “The collection will be available on Target.com and in select stores, based on historical sales performance.”
Bud Light, meanwhile, publicly acknowledged the damage that the partnership with Mulvaney had done to their company.
“We recognize that over the last two months, the discussion surrounding our company and Bud Light has moved away from beer, and this has impacted our consumers, our business partners, and our employees.,” the company said in a statement last year. “We are a beer company, and beer is for everyone.”
Matt Skallerud, president of Pink Media, an organization that “helps brands reach the LGBTQ+ demographic,” told the newspaper that the media is refusing to admit how badly the boycotts have affected them.
“Especially during Pride season, most companies like ours are pretty busy working on Pride projects. I can tell you for myself, I have not been, and I think it’s across the board,” he said.
“Nobody in the media, marketing and advertising world wants to admit how heavy and hard this has been,” he said. “Ever since Target and Bud Light had their fiascos last year, a tremendous number of brands have decided it would be much better to sit on the sidelines and let this sort itself out.”
While this may not be the end of Pride Month, it certainly indicates that the whole concept may be in decline. Conservatives should learn from this victory and continue voting with their wallets and support companies that align with their values.

Who would guess that the hardest part of being the King of Britain is dealing with your own family members?
Charles III waited 70 years to ascend to the throne. And when he did, he has had to deal nonstop with problems created by his own brother and his younger son.
When it comes to disgraced Prince Andrew, who has been forced to quit his Royal duties over his long association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the main problem is that he continues refusing to leave the Royal Lodge, where he has lived for 20 years, for his new – and much smaller – home in Frogmore Cottage.
King Charles is reportedly threatening to sever ties with the duke of York unless he agrees to move out, a friend of the King has claimed.
Andrew presently shares the 30-room, £30million mansion with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
Daily Mail reported:
“The King has long been trying to get his brother – who has no apparent source of income – to leave the Windsor mansion amid rumors the Prince of Wales is keen to take up residence in the property to reflect his role as heir to the throne.”
The King is said to be willing to pay for his brother to live comfortably out of his ‘private’ funds from the Duchy of Lancaster, but the level of funding ‘needs to be appropriate.’
“A friend of the King told The Times: ‘Unfortunately, if Andrew refuses to leave within a reasonable time frame, then the King may be forced to reassess the whole package of support he provides and the duke would be required to fund the lion’s share of his security, accommodation and lifestyle costs all on his own – which, given the sums involved, is highly unlikely to be possible in the long term’.”
The King has continually attempted to evict Andrew from Royal Lodge, and now claims have emerged saying that Andrew can’t meet the £400,000-a-year upkeep of Royal Lodge.
“He was granted ‘a stay of execution’, it was reported in October, after he did a deal with the King to carry out the repair works on the 19th century, Grade II-listed property.”
Pictures appear to show that the mansion may be falling in disrepair.
The Frogmore Cottage – previously the house of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – Harry and Meghan – is said to be in good condition.
Andrew has signed a 75-year lease on the Royal Lodge, paying only £250 a week, but also agreeing to maintain the vast property.
“Part of the terms of this alleged deal with his older brother was that he would carry out repair works on the 19th century, Grade II-listed house, but these do not appear to have been done yet.
It was reported that Andrew, who was forced to quit royal duties over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, may have his royal allowance of £249,000 cut, making it difficult for the Duke to fulfill his promises.”
People close to Andrew say he ‘is going nowhere, because he has a cast iron lease.’

American Airlines is veering towards a strike by flight attendants ahead of the busy summer travel season.
The current contract expired in 2019, and cost-of-living adjustments have stayed stagnant at rates negotiated in 2014.
Whatever you think of unions, workers are suffering in the Biden economy.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) issued a statement to members advising them to prepare for a strike.
Association Negotiations Update #56
Intensive Mediation Concludes With No Agreement;
Flight Attendants Should Prepare For a StrikeTwo weeks of intensive mediation at the National Mediation Board (NMB) offices in Washington, D.C., failed to produce an agreement with American Airlines. These sessions followed three weeks of mediation in DFW. Per the request of the NMB, we cannot release particular details. We remain apart on the key economics of the deal plus the company’s completely unacceptable demand for scheduling concessions.
More information about the status of bargaining and the upcoming steps will be forthcoming. We believe the Board will call the parties in for one last ditch effort in the next two weeks but that has not been set. We believe we will have more information from the NMB on Monday and will send an update. If we are unable to reach an agreement, the matter will be before the NMB to determine if we will be released. While these delays are frustrating, we also know that the company’s ability to stall these negotiations is rapidly reaching an end.
All Flight Attendants need to prepare for a strike. Strike handbooks will be mailed to your address on file with APFA.
Our right to strike under the Railway Labor Act has not changed. However, we cannot strike until released by the NMB and following a thirty-day cooling-off period. There must be no unauthorized or illegal work actions, including but not limited to work slowdown/stoppages or concerted action of refusing to pick up open trips. Please do not jeopardize yourself or our collective efforts by advocating for or engaging in unauthorized or illegal activities.
The company, however, remains tone-deaf. For Flight Attendant Appreciation Day, the airline provided cold sandwiches with a side of low wages.
The comments on Instagram were brutal:
“Appreciate your FA’s with that industry leading contract you promised!!!”
“Why don’t you post about the last 4-5 days operation? About the FAs stranded literally all over the country with no hotel, sitting on hold with tracking/Scheduling for hours and hours all while not being paid???”
“I’m on vacation fielding texts and calls from FAs since 3am the past few days because you willfully left them stranded, lost in the system, abandoned and unsupported. We don’t need an IG shoutout we need reliable infrastructure and consistency from the company we work for. Step it up and for the love of god leave the stale cookies and coagulated ham sandwiches in the drafts folder next time. Pay us what you owe us.”
Some directly called out American Airlines CEO Robert Isom, who received new compensation that soared to over $31 million in 2023.
“@robert_isom Honest question; Do you think you work 2,100 times smarter or harder than a flight attendant does? I don’t think that’s physically possible considering we are worked to our absolute limits. 17 hour days on 6 hours of rest aren’t even uncommon. So why do you pay yourself over 2,100 times what a flight attendant salary is? Your flight attendants want to move on with their lives, buy a car, buy a home, start families, not have anxiety in the grocery store because we can’t afford food.”
“YOU HAVE FAILED US. @robert_isom@americanair Signed, 27,000+ Flight Attendants who respectfully don’t need your degrading ham sandwiches today but would really prefer a contract. Thanks.”
Under the Railway Labor Act, the National Mediation Board does not often allow strikes, but a bipartisan group of 168 lawmakers has urged the Board “to use all of the tools at its disposal to encourage the resolution of these negotiations.”
We are writing to express our concern about the number of ongoing, protracted contract negotiations between parties before the National Mediation Board. As you know, there are thousands of workers across the country who are currently being subjected to drawn out contract negotiations, and we urge you to use the tools at your disposal to ensure the timely resolution of these cases.
First, we want to acknowledge the work of the National Mediation Board (NMB) in dealing with the unprecedented level of bargaining in recent years due to pent-up demand from delayed bargaining during COVID. With the NMB’s assistance, most of these negotiations are settled, demonstrating the professionalism and hard work of the Board and your staff. We are committed to providing you the resources to do your job moving forward.
However, we are concerned about the increasing number of contract negotiations before the NMB that are being unfairly drawn out to the detriment of workers. We understand that there are certain ongoing negotiations that have dragged on for as long as five years, and we have heard from workers who are justifiably concerned that they are being subjected to unfair delays in the bargaining process. For example, we know that over 100,000 flight attendants are currently in contract negotiations, many of whom are working under the terms of contracts that are now several years past the contract amendable dates. Furthermore, many of these workers were on the frontlines throughout the Covid pandemic and made countless sacrifices to keep their companies financially afloat, and it is important that they are able to reap the benefits of the collective bargaining process in a timely manner.
We are also concerned that the reason for these increasingly prolonged negotiations is due in part to the recent inability of workers to avail themselves of self-help options to facilitate labor disputes. It has long been understood that the best way to achieve labor peace is through collective bargaining backed by the threat of “self-help” for both parties, including the right to strike for workers. Indeed, workers across a range of professions have secured groundbreaking new contracts in recent years, many of which were won due to workers’ credible ability to exercise self-help options.
But, over recent decades, workers’ ability to utilize self-help options has been eroded. In fact, there have there been only two releases to strike of airline workers since 2006, the last being Spirit Airlines Pilots in 2010, compared to dozens in the 1980s and 1990s. Thus, management has little incentive to reach agreements with their workers in a timely manner and many companies have used this development to their advantage,improvements in the lives of tens of thousands of frontline workers.
Accordingly, we urge the Board to use all of the tools at its disposal to encourage the resolution of disputes with ratified agreements that are long overdue.
Thank you for your diligent work to resolve disputes and please continue that work knowing that we support your efforts and use of the statute to encourage settlement of contract disputes.

Disgraced Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell weighed on the chilling conviction of President Trump for allegedly “falsifying business documents” and received a blistering response from conservatives on social media.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, the rigged New York City jury convicted Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
A giddy Merchan saluted the jury members for their “dedication and hard work” after one of American history’s greatest travesties of justice. The next step is the sentencing phase on July 11, where Merchan will have a chance to throw Trump behind bars.
Merchan to jurors: I really admire your dedication and hard work. You worked very hard and gave this matter the attention it deserves.
— Paul Ingrassia (@PaulIngrassia) May 30, 2024
McConnell issued a pathetically canned response later that night with no emotion or outrage over the violation of Trump’s sacred constitutional rights.
“These charges never should have been brought in the first place,” he wrote. “I expect the conviction to be overturned on appeal.”

McConnell probably won’t lose any sleep over this and is probably secretly thrilled that his mortal enemy faces potential prison time. For years, he has been working against the MAGA movement especially on foreign policy and immigration.
As Jim Hoft notes, McConnell’s dedication to the global establishment is so complete that he even pushed through a Ukraine funding package that included language for automatic impeachment if Trump ever decided to end funding for the Ukraine-Russia war.
Thankfully, he will step down as GOP leader in November. Let’s hope he is replaced with an America-first leader rather than another globalist RINO.

When it comes to The View’s co-host Sunny Hostin, the anti-Israel apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
To celebrate her graduation from her exclusive $63,000-a-year New York City prep school, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, Sunny’s daughter Paloma Hostin shared a genocidal anti-Israel message on Snapchat.
In the Snapchat post obtained and shared on X by StopAntisemitism, Paloma wrote, “Now that I got my diploma: FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.”
She added, “And to all the mfs who screenshotted my stories and showed them to your parents trying to get me suspended or expelled, look at me now.”
Sunny Hostin’s daughter, Paloma, just graduated from Fieldston, a $63k per year elite private high school in NYC.
How did she celebrate? By taking to SnapChat and calling for the erasure of the world’s only Jewish state.

According to The New York Post, Paloma, who is headed to Cornell University in the fall, attempted to walk back the disgusting display with a follow-up on her Instagram account, which is now set to private.
“I woke up feeling heavy about the humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East. Both sides have endured unimaginable loss and suffering. Today, my prayers are with everyone affected by these tragedies,” she wrote in a caption underneath an image of a peace sign painted against a colorful backdrop.
With the recent changes to Title VI and the broader definition of anti-Semitism, does this put Paloma in hot water with Cornell?

It isn’t hard to figure out that Paloma’s anti-Israel sentiments are likely home-grown.
During a recent appearance on The View, liberal comedian Bill Maher drew applause from the audience after he pushed back against Sunny during a debate on Israel, Hamas, and the ongoing war in the Middle East.
“If I had any doubt that I was right about the change that’s happened in the left, watching people protest for a terrorist organization like Hamas — that straightened me out pretty quick,” he said.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Maher why some Americans seemingly taking the side of a terrorist group over Israel.
“It’s astounding to me that they can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys, just morally,” he said. “If you’re for Hamas, just live in Gaza for a day … [even] before the war.”
“Trust me, you would go running, and screaming, and begging to live in Tel Aviv, a place that has your values.”
He added that women’s rights, in particular, are practically nonexistent in Gaza and many other nations.
That’s when Hostin chimed in and asked Maher if he also had concerns about those in Gaza,“Are you at all concerned about the innocent civilians that have been collectively punished and murdered, largely children and women?”
“Are you at all concerned about the fact that the International Criminal Court just today issued a subpoena for Bibi Netanyahu?”
Maher reminded Hostin that Hamas has openly declared its intent to commit genocide against the Jewish people.
“Now, this is a war,” he said. “Do you think Hamas needs to be destroyed? This is the question.”

The state of Vermont made unfortunate history this week by becoming the first state in America to force oil and gas companies to pay penalties for “climate change” after arguably the worst GOP governor in America refused to issue a veto.
As Breitbart reported, S.259, which became law on Thursday, will establish a procedure to analyze the responsibility for greenhouse gas-related costs of any company that engaged in extracting fossil fuel or refining crude oil between December 31, 2019, and January 1, 2000.
Moreover, the legislation will create the Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program at the Agency of Natural Resources. This ridiculous new government function will seize money from oil and gas companies and redistribute the revenue to finance “climate change adaptive or resilient infrastructure projects in the state.”
Governor Phil Scott, a despicable never-Trumper who voted for Joe Biden in 2020, let the legislation become law without his signature despite the harmful impacts it will have or ordinary Vermonters.
But like a typical RINO, Breitbart notes Scott did make sure to issue a meaningless statement complaining about the state’s Democrats pushing the law through.
“Instead of coordinating with other states like New York and California, with far more abundant resources, Vermont — one of the least populated states with the lowest GDP in the country — has decided to recover costs associated with climate change on its own,” Scott whimpered.
I’m deeply concerned about both short- and long-term costs and outcomes,” he continued. “Just look at our unsuccessful nationally-focused cases on GMOs, campaign finance, and pharmaceutical marketing practices.”
Paul Burns, executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, issued a written statement crowing about the new law:
For too long, giant fossil fuel companies have knowingly lit the match of climate disruption without being required to do a thing to put out the fire. Finally, maybe for the first time anywhere, Vermont is going to hold the companies most responsible for climate-driven floods, fires, and heat waves financially accountable for a fair share of the damages they’ve caused.”
The American Petroleum Institute warned that S. 259 “retroactively imposes costs and liability on prior activities that were legal, violates equal protection and due process rights by holding companies responsible for the actions of society at large; and is preempted by federal law.”
But Vermont Democrat State Representative Martin LaLonde, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said he was confident the state would ultimately prevail even though “Big Oil” will fight the law in court.
“We know that Big Oil will fight this in the courts,” said LaLonde. “But, as an attorney myself, and having worked closely with many legal scholars in shaping the bill, I believe we have a solid legal case.
“Most importantly, the stakes are too high – and the costs too steep for Vermonters – to release corporations that caused the mess from their obligation to help clean it up.”

In the fall of 2023, Joe Gow, the former Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, announced his decision to step down from his position at the end of the school year to transition into a faculty role.
In December 2023, however, he was fired from that position for producing and appearing in pornographic videos with his wife and sharing the content on X, porn websites, books, and the YouTube channel “Sexy Happy Couple.”
Although the couple used pen names (Geri and Jay Hart) in two books, “Married with Benefits: Our Real-Life Adult Industry Adventures” and “Monogamy with Benefits: How Porn Enriches Our Relationship,” they did not appear to try to be secretive about their adult entertainment adventures.
University of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman said in a statement at the time that Gow was terminated following a unanimous vote by the UW Board of Regents.
“In recent days, we learned of specific conduct by Dr. Gow that has subjected the university to significant reputational harm. His actions were abhorrent.”
“As a tenured faculty member, Dr. Gow will be placed on paid administrative leave as he transitions into his faculty role at UW-La Crosse. However, I have filed a complaint this evening with interim Chancellor Betsy Morgan regarding Dr. Gow’s status as a tenured faculty member, asking that such status be reviewed. In addition, an outside law firm has been engaged to undertake a fulsome investigation of the matter. We anticipate the complaint will be considered in the normal course as dictated by Wis. Admin. Code Ch. 4.”
Gow now argues in a Chronicle of Higher Education Op-Ed, while bragging about the success of his videos, that he should not lose tenure. He frames the argument as a violation of his First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression.
Gow wrote:
”For about a decade, my wife, Carmen Wilson (also an academic), and I had used our vacation time to secretly record a series of sex scenes with adult-industry professionals,” Gow wrote. “We made 18 of them in all, and we also published two books (using pen names) about our experiences. Late last year, after I had announced I was stepping down from my administrative position at the University of Wisconsin at La Crosse to focus on my faculty role, we thought it would be interesting to see how a few of our scenes might be received on popular adult websites. We uploaded five of them (featuring just the two of us). Knowing those platforms host millions of videos, we doubted anyone would pay much attention.”
”How wrong we were,” he added. “We watched incredulously as our videos, with no promotion whatsoever, drew hundreds of views per day, then thousands, then tens of thousands. After just a few weeks, we passed a million views in all, leading one site to rank us as its No. 2 creators for North America and Oceania in December 2023.”
Gow continued, ”I understand why UW leaders didn’t want me to continue as chancellor, but I am puzzled by their determination to keep me from returning to the classroom. After all, these are the same people who, at a board meeting held just weeks before my firing, energetically affirmed the importance of promoting free speech on our campuses.”
“In the meantime, I enjoy recalling an anecdote my wife told me: When we were headed to Las Vegas a few years ago, one of her co-workers asked what we planned to do there. ‘Oh,’ she told him, ‘the usual stuff: Sit by the pool, eat nice dinners, make some porn.’ He chuckled at her cheeky reply.”
”If only the Wisconsin regents and system president could lighten up, too. Laugh at us if you want to. Call us strange. But please don’t try to suppress the vital conversations we’re starting,” he said.
According to the Wisconsin State Journal, Interim UW-La Crosse Chancellor Betsy Morgan alleges Gow failed to cooperate with the investigation, participated in unethical and potentially illegal conduct, and violation of information use technologies.
A public hearing, scheduled for mid-June, must be held before Gow is stripped of tenure.

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is backed by Soros, is now under fire for allegedly leaking sensitive sentencing information about former President Donald Trump to the far-left media.
In the wake of a trial widely criticized as a sham, where Trump was convicted on all 34 felony charges in a ‘hush money’ scandal, sources suggest that DA Bragg’s office may recommend Trump serve a year at the notorious Rikers Island.
Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime—a practice unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that something bad happened.
This, of course, is completely unconstitutional. This was clearly the greatest travesty of justice in American history.
So now we have a convicted US President with 34 felony counts, and NO ONE knows what crime President Trump committed!
The sentencing was set for July 11—three days before the Republican convention!
Now, ‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin, who seemed quite pleased with the developments, shared on the air that she had spoken with someone from Bragg’s office.
She described them as ‘street fighters,’ who indicated that Bragg might push for a tough one-year imprisonment, primarily to ensure Trump faces the daunting conditions of Rikers Island.
“I spent this morning speaking to someone from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. They’re called street fighters. He believes that they will recommend a one-year term in prison. And that is because when you spend a year in prison in New York or under, you serve in Rikers Island,” Austin said.
According to Hostin, this recommendation serves not just as punishment but as a stern message to society that such conduct will not be tolerated again.
“The other thing I’d like to say is the other reason that they will do this is because he has shown an utter disregard for our institutions. And prosecutors, when you are recommending a sentence, you are not just recommending a sentence so that they can be rehabilitated or so that they can be punished. You’re sending a message to the community that this is not going to happen again. This is not okay. ”
“The other thing I want to say is that there’s another thing that they will likely recommend is a six-month split, six months at Rikers, and then the rest, five years—four and a half years of probation that is under New York law,” Hostin said.

Now that a kangaroo NYC court has convicted him of bogus crimes, President Trump may not be able to travel to six key countries even if re-elected and must surrender his firearms to the government.
New York immigration attorney Karin Wolman revealed to the New York Post on Saturday that if Trump were to prevail in November, his conviction on felony counts “would almost certainly affect his ability to travel for diplomatic purposes” to countries such as the following six countries: Australia, China, India, Israel, New Zealand, and Taiwan.
Australia, India, Israel, Taiwan, and New Zealand are important U.S. allies, while China is America’s most prominent geopolitical foe.
Wolman notes that all six nations require visas to visit, and the visa applications include questions about criminal backgrounds.
To enter these countries, Trump would likely have to apply for a waiver and a temporary visa, according to Wolman. “It will be up to each country whether they want to waive his 34 felony convictions,” she said.
While Wolman said that she does not foresee these countries banning Trump, one cannot rule out the possibility of a ban if deranged leftists take over the allied governments or if China wants to use the conviction to send a message.
But the news gets even worse for the 45th president. Trump, a licensed gun owner, will also have to hand over his firearms in the coming weeks thanks to the conviction.
Under New York state and federal law, convicted felons are forbidden from possessing firearms. Criminal defense attorney Peter Tilem explained to the Post this means that another person must take the guns or they must be surrendered to state authorities by Trump’s July 11 sentencing.
“There is no grace period,” Tilem said. “You are federally prohibited once you are convicted.”
Back in 2016, Trump told a French magazine during an interview regarding a string of terror attacks in France that he is always packing heat.
“I always carry a weapon on me,” he said. “If I’d been at the Bataclan concert hall or one of those bars, I would have opened fire.”
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, the rigged New York City jury convicted Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
A giddy Merchan saluted the jury members for their “dedication and hard work” after one of American history’s greatest travesties of justice. The next step is the sentencing phase on July 11, where Merchan will have a chance to throw Trump behind bars.

Barbara J. Risman, a College of Arts & Sciences distinguished professor of sociology at the University of Illinois at Chicago, planned to continue teaching at the school she called her “beloved academic home” for the past 17 years.
But the disgusting displays of antisemitism from pro-Hamas protestors on college campuses changed everything.
When asked about the tenor of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations and the overall climate on campus since October 7 by the Times of Israel, Risman shared, “The demonstrations are never framed as being about ending the war, helping Gazans, or rebuilding Gaza; all things I could get behind. Instead, everything is framed as an assault on the right of Jews to have a homeland. That’s when I personally feel attacked. That’s when it becomes antisemitic.”
“Jewish students no longer want people to know they’re Jewish. Israeli students no longer want to speak in public because their voices will call attention to them.”
In an Op-Ed for The Chicago Tribune, Risman expands on how the anti-Jewish sentiment infecting campuses across the country led her to the difficult decision to leave her post.
Just days after Hamas’ terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, the faculty in women and gender studies and Black studies posted a joint statement on their websites to assure Palestinian and Muslim students that they were valued and that faculty members were concerned for their welfare. I share that concern, deeply.
Glaringly absent from the statement was concern for Jewish and Israeli students. The faculty claimed to “mourn the loss of life in southern Israel” but went on to “denounce the ongoing escalation of settler colonial violence.” The statement ends in solidarity with those “targeted by colonialism, racism, heteropatriarchy, ableism and state-sanctioned violence” with no mention of antisemitism, the terrorist killings or the hostages. The global Asian studies program posted a similar statement, but only a short statement of concern for Arab, Palestinian and Muslim communities remains at this point.
Even worse, several student support centers, including the Disability Resource Center and the Women’s Leadership and Resource Center, put out a statement of solidarity with the Palestinians. While concern for students who are worried about loved ones in Palestine is important and necessary, why are Jewish and Israeli students rendered invisible? Are Jews of no concern to those at the centers designed to support student success?
Even when the United Nations provided evidence of sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attack, the Women’s Resource and Leadership Center remained silent on Israeli women’s suffering. In a Zoom meeting with some Jewish students, I learned that some no longer feel free to use the state-supported resources available at these centers because the political rhetoric makes them unwelcome. This feeling of being “othered,” of not belonging at UIC, runs counter to our mission of inclusivity.
Risman concluded, “I will retire before I intended to because UIC is no longer an institution comfortable for me, as a Jew who believes Israel has a right to exist. And to be clear, more than 80% of Jews in America share that belief. When university departments and programs publish statements implying support for the destruction of the state where more than half of all Jews alive today live, they have crossed the line from simple micro-aggressions against Jewish students and faculty to outright institutional antisemitism.”
Risman also told the Times of Israel that, although she is a lone voice speaking publically, she has recevied secret thank yous.
“I expected to get a lot of personal blowback from my colleagues. Instead, what I got was a lot of secret thank-yous from all over campus from students, faculty, staff, administrators. I now know more Jews on campus than I ever did in the past 17 years.”
“They all said, ‘You are really brave. I would never have done that.’ People now contact me when something happens because I’m the only one who has said anything publicly.”

According to the Federal Highway Administration, there are over 280 million registered vehicles in the United States, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles. President Biden’s plan aims to replace 67% of these vehicles with electric ones by 2032. While China, which produces 80% of the batteries, would benefit, American consumers and the environment would suffer as a result.
First, purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) is expensive. On average, the purchase price of an EV is currently $26,000 more than a gasoline-powered car. Next, using an EV as a primary vehicle or for long family trips is extremely problematic. They have a short range of only 291 miles on average, compared to 400 miles for gasoline-powered cars. Additionally, they have long charging times and reduced performance at temperatures below 40°F or above 90°F. On extremely cold days, the range of the battery can decrease by as much as 50%. Consequently, EVs may not be suitable for use in most northern states or out west, where temperatures range from very high to very low.
According to the Department of Transportation, depending on the type of EV you buy, recharging to 80% capacity can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 hours. The reason why 80% capacity is often cited in literature is that the top 20% and bottom 20% of the EV battery are either unusable or not recommended for use. This fact significantly affects the actual range of an EV compared to the range cited by environmentalists.
They claim that this switch is being done to save the environment, but with charging times of up to 10 hours, every American home would need at least one charger. Since most homes have more than one car, multiple chargers would be necessary. If public recharging stations on highways had fast chargers that only require 20 minutes to fill a battery to 80%, far more of these chargers would be needed than the gas pumps that exist today.
It only takes 3-4 minutes to fill a car with gas, so waiting in a line 5 cars deep would be a 20-minute wait. With EVs, that would be a 100-minute wait, followed by the 20 minutes it takes to charge your EV battery to 80%. Service stations would need to add additional charging stations, or cities would need to install them in parking lots. Either way, there would be a massive construction of new electric charging stations.
Nowadays, you replace a perfectly working phone or computer every two to three years because the technology keeps improving. This will be the case with EVs and charging stations. As new technology emerges, old EVs and charging stations will be disposed of, and new ones will be built in the hundreds of millions, which could be detrimental to the environment.
If all 280 million US vehicles were converted to EVs, the demand for electricity would increase by 25% to 50%. Generating more electricity would necessitate expanding the electric grid and likely burning more fossil fuels. However, the White House has set a goal of reducing emissions by 50% – 52% compared to 2005 levels by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. To achieve this goal, power generation would need to switch to wind and solar, both of which have significant environmental impacts that proponents often overlook.
Feasibility studies on projected wind and solar power production often compare the power produced to current needs but fail to consider that in just a few years, most cars are expected to be EVs, causing electricity demand to skyrocket.
Aside from the fact that wind and solar farms cannot generate sufficient energy to meet the needs of an entire population driving EVs, they are also environmentally damaging. The establishment of wind or solar farms disrupts local plant and animal habitats, which is a significant concern, especially in areas with sensitive ecosystems or endangered species. Large-scale wind and solar farms require significant land areas, potentially converting natural landscapes or agricultural lands. Additionally, solar production requires a great deal of water—20 gallons per megawatt hour.
The production and decommissioning of wind turbines produce harmful emissions. Manufacturing solar panels involves mining and processing raw materials like silicon, silver, and other metals, which can have significant environmental impacts. Solar panels contain hazardous materials such as cadmium, silicon, and gallium arsenide, which are toxic to humans and animals and can pollute groundwater and air. The disposal and recycling of solar panels at the end of their life cycle pose environmental challenges, as some components can be hazardous. By 2050, estimates suggest there could be as much as 78 million tons of solar panel waste worldwide.
EVs will cost consumers more money, be impractical, and cause an environmental disaster. One way to mitigate the increased demand for electricity could be for the government to ration electricity usage, leading to rolling blackouts and bans on air-conditioning and heating. Alternatively, they could tax the usage of public roads to discourage driving. Either way, quality of life would decrease along with personal freedoms.

Tim Pool, host of the YouTube show Timcast IRL, abruptly ended his livestream on Friday, according to the website Anarchist Federation.
This unexpected termination occurred as Laura Loomer advocated for the execution of Democrats whom she accuses of orchestrating a coup against Trump following his conviction in a recent bogus hush money trial.
During the show, Loomer passionately voiced her frustrations with the political forces aligned against Trump, calling for stark actions against these “traitors.”
“Wake up. Stop being nice to these people,” Loomer said. “I don’t give a sh*t about these people, their livelihood, their well-being, the well-being of their families, their little kids. I don’t give a sh*t. And that’s the mentality that everybody needs to have now in this country, because it is war. It is war.”
Pool echoed Loomer’s sentiments, asserting that there was “no question” that if Trump were reelected, he should start locking Democrats up.
“Should there be lists of Democrats who need to go to jail? 100%,” Pool said. “And the reason for that is they committed crimes… And the reason we can put them on trial is to show the whole world we will uncover what you’ve done. We will make sure everyone knows, and you will be held accountable for it.”
“Not just jail, they should get the death penalty,” Loomer said.
As Loomer began to call for the death penalty as punishment for treason, the live stream was suddenly cut off. The video disappeared from YouTube and was replaced with a disclaimer stating it had been “removed by the uploader.”
After the abrupt end of the live stream, one user asked Loomer who pulled the plug on the feed.
“Who pulled the feed? Was it Tim? It went down on YouTube and Rumble at the same time?” the user asked.
In her response, she confirmed that it was Pool who ended the stream when she called for treason charges and the death penalty for Democrats accused of plotting against Trump to prevent his YouTube account from being taken down due to her comments.
“Tim Pool had to cut the feed. He ended the stream when I said people who committed treason in our country (I was talking about the Democrats who staged a coup against Donald Trump) should be tried for TREASON and get the DEATH PENALTY,” Loomer wrote on X.
“Apparently you’re not allowed to say that on YouTube even though it’s literally in our US legal system… I am not angry with Tim. It’s not his fault that YouTube is pro-censorship. Obviously I don’t want his account to be taken down just because I was defending Donald Trump and because I said there needs to be a trial and then the maximum punishment on the books for TREASON,” she added.
“I stand by everything I said. The Leftists at the top of this lawfare machine are committing treason. Many of these efforts are funded by the CCP. These lawfare agents and communists deserve the death penalty. I will say it till I’m blue in the face because it’s TRUE. I believe Tim Pool is posting the show on Rumble. Hopefully he will tweet the link out so all Of you can watch the show,” Loomer concluded.
Pool, who recently confessed that he did not vote for Trump in 2016 and identified as a pro-Bernie Sanders social liberal, faced criticism for his decision to end the live stream. Some users accused him of prioritizing monetization and income over free speech, while others defended his action as a necessary business decision.
One user commented, “I like watching Tim but he still feels monetization and income is more important than his and guest’s free speech, since he won’t simultaneously cast to Rumble.”
Another commented, “Content creators should be boycotting Google. That is the only way things will change, but none will because they don’t want to give up the $. The overlords know this. This is how the matrix controls information.”
A third user expressed disappointment, stating, “I blame him. He supports a platform that censors common viewpoints. He does it because it’s self serving, right?”
Another user defended Pool’s action, stating, “Was definitely a business decision. Tim has 50 employees can’t afford to be spended for a week. Laura sometime is just too hot for live television too spicy.”
.@Timcast Tim Pool had to cut the feed. He ended the stream when I said people who committed treason in our country (I was talking about the Democrats who staged a coup against Donald Trump) should be tried for TREASON and get the DEATH PENALTY.

For the record, several conservative websites, including The Gateway Pundit, can no longer monetize on YouTube and have seen reduced viewership for standing up and telling the truth to the world. We were not afraid to report the truth. As a result, we were demonetized for not bowing to them.
The Gateway Pundit was also banned by Google Adsense, which is why our readers are now seeing a few disagreeable ads displayed on our website for reporting the election fraud that other conservative websites hesitated to report back in 2020 and only recently decided to report on.
The Gateway Pundit is embroiled in numerous lawsuits for reporting what happened in the fraudulent election. As a result, we were labeled as fake news, even by other conservative websites and Republicans.
On the flip side, The Gateway Pundit is currently one of the lead plaintiffs in the historic free speech case against the Biden regime that was argued in front of the Supreme Court in March. We expect a decision this month. Stay tuned…
But we will not stop reporting the truth. Even our very public financial challenges will not prevent us from speaking the truth to our audience—the best audience online today.

Harvard law professor and author Alan Dershowitz weighed in on the Trump convictions by a corrupt court, a biased jury, and and criminal judge on Thursday.
Dershowitz pointed out what all of us are wondering – we still don’t know the crime President Trump allegedly committed.
As the Democrat operatives’ case against President Trump wound down last week the prosecution still had not defined the alleged criminal act that President Trump allegedly committed. But it didn’t matter. The court was ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.
Corrupt anti-Trump Judge Juan Merchan told the jury during instructions before their deliberation that they can consider whether the defendant violated any of the following laws:
1. Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) (federal election campaign law)
2. Falsification of Business Records
3. Tax Laws
Judge Merchan also told the jury they need not agree to what crime was committed. They just had to feel like a criminal act was committed to find President Trump guilty. This was one of the greatest bastardizations of the justice system in US history.
We still don’t know what the jury decided. We still don’t know what crime was committed. It’s been two days now and the court has not defined what law was broken. The judge and jury never told us!
Alan Dershowitz pointed this out on Friday.
Alan Dershowitz: I want to say right now, I side with President Trump’s assessment of the judicial system more than President Biden’s assessment. I’m a liberal Democrat. I voted for Biden. Biden is dead wrong. We should not respect the legal system that is rigged. In my book, Get Trump, I predicted months before this case ever came to trial that it was a foregone conclusion there’d be a conviction. A biased judge, a biased jury, a biased prosecutor, a man who ran for office on the theory of, let’s find a crime to prosecute Trump for, and they couldn’t find the crime, so they made it up.
We’re now a day after the verdict. I’ve known criminal law. I’ve been involved in criminal law for 60 years. I still don’t know what the crime is. Was he found guilty of intending to violate tax laws, to violate the federal election laws, to defraud voters? I still don’t know. And we’re a day after this. This is the most outrageous case. Everybody knows the quote from Lavrentiy Beria, the head of the KGB under Stalin, when Beria said to Stalin, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”
He tried to find the crime, and he couldn’t. So he made up the crime. He took it a step further than Stalin and Lavrentiy Beria. This case will go down in history as one of the most abusive prosecutions since the trial of Aaron Burr back in ’18, whatever. This is a stain on our criminal justice system.
Professor Emeritus Dershowitz says the Supreme Court should overturn this case.
Alan Dershowitz: “Again, he was convicted of things that weren’t crimes… I think there’s a way of expediting the appeal, skipping the appellate division, going right to the Court of Appeals, ask for an expedited appeal with a decision within a month, and then take it to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court should take this case, should reverse the conviction, and let the voters decide who should be president without the thumb of an illegal prosecution on the scales of the election.”
If there is any hope for this country’s future – this abomination must be overturned. And Judge Merchan should be the one heading to prison for corrupting our legal system for personal gain.

Guest post by Briana G. Céspedes, U.S. Air Force
Why does someone join the United States military? Service members are the one percent who voluntarily raise their hands and swear to defend the Constitution from enemies, foreign and domestic. Sometimes, the domestic enemies pose great threats that have gone unnoticed for too long.
From 2020 to the present, one such service member could never have imagined the illegal actions that would be made against her for simply protecting the oath she took.
Not many know that at least 8,500 active duty members were discharged, most without an honorable characterization, and tens of thousands were placed on permanent non-pay status in the Reserves and National Guard.
And every member has different experiences ranging from loss of pay, coercion, threats from leaders, loss of promotion, and mental and physical injury. For Céspedes, the moment of leaving the military was a sad sigh of relief. In other words, involuntary discharge was the final blow in a long series of mistreatments.
On July 11, 2022, Céspedes was generally discharged from the U.S. Air Force due to her convictions to not participate in a new experimental vaccine. Her conviction was clear as she researched what products the mRNA technology contained and spoke with her Christian mentors.
She could not disregard her body and did not believe she had to force herself though she received pressure on all sides. Secretary of Defense Austin stated in a memo to the Armed Forces that they would not mandate non-FDA approved vaccines (Mandatory Vaccination Program, 2021).
This however, was not the case when it came to implementation and her unit was given a deadline of 2 months before all of them had to be fully vaccinated with only Emergency Authorized Products.
She couldn’t understand why the mandates coming through were not matching with the promises their leaders were telling them. She could not get herself to inject some new product in her body that was not tested as all other vaccines are required to.
With this conviction, she went to the base Chaplain and told him her reasons for requesting a religious exemption. He found her conviction to be sincere and forwarded that information to the commander of her wing.
This was back in September of 2021, when, she received an email directly from her Wing Commander, without anyone cc’d, directly stating that if she did not get the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the month, she would be disobeying a lawful order.
The email also stated that because she would be disobeying a lawful order, she could face court martial and dishonorable discharge. At that moment, she realized, this was going to be a big, long, hard fight. Her MAJCOM (Major Command) Commander had taken the time to individually reach out to her with haste, this was a big deal and obviously pressure coming from the top. She was filled with fear.
But, as her father told her, “Bri, maybe you’re in the military for such a time as this, maybe you’re fight for freedom is different than you thought.” She remembered why she joined and remembered what kept her there.
The U.S. Air Force taught her a few core values: Integrity First, meaning we will always show true character despite pressure; Service Before Self, meaning we will regard other’s lives and livelihoods above our own; and, Excellence in All We Do, meaning taking this fight to the end and excelling with precision.
She realized that many of her peers did not want to take the shot either, but they responded with, “I have no choice, when I joined the U.S. military I gave over my rights.” Dale Saran has a response to that.
“No one’s really litigated that issue,” Saran said. “. . .But we’ve come so far down the road that we just believe it, we just accept that. It’s not correct to say, as a matter of law, that you are suddenly property of the U.S. government once you join the military. For example, if the military said tomorrow ‘we’re going to sterilize everybody who comes into the military because we don’t want to have pregnancies, would anybody think that that was legitimate? I mean you could make a very good argument for it, you could make a very good case for the practical nature of it, but it would be completely illegal, immoral and just terrible,” Saran said. “So as soon as you go with that you could think of all kinds of limits on that power. Does it give you the right to experiment on troops? No.”
This was just the beginning. After submitting her Request for Religious Exemption in September of 2021, she was under the impression that she would be receiving a response to this question which would change her life and service forever, within 140 days.
In Air Force policy 52-201, RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN THE DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, it requires that the Air Force respond to the Airmen within this timeline requirement. This mandate can only be exempted by Congress as a T-0 waiver level.
Congress never gave this exemption to the Air Force. It was not until 168 days after submission that she received her first notification on February 14, 2022.
During those almost 6 months, a lot happened. She had been sent to quarantine 8 times, which equals to 112 days in isolation. She had transferred to a new unit where she was the only one required to wear a mask since she was the unvaccinated Airman and could not be in the same room as her coworkers during lunch.
She had received threats of dishonorable discharge, loss of all benefits and was not able to leave the local area as an unvaccinated Airman. When regulations started to ease, they only got stricter for her.
Without the vaccine, she could not enter even a coffee shop because she did not have the COVID Passport. And, at her new unit she experienced another long series of quarantines counting to almost 4 months that she spent in the barracks alone.
This led to long periods of inactivity, wastefulness, and ultimately, mental strain. If the Department of Defense is so worried about suicide among the ranks, then why would they threaten, pressure and isolate to this extent? If not for her faith, Céspedes would have resorted to other options to get out of her misery.
Her appeal was denied promptly after submission on March 24, 2022 and at this point, she knew she would be discharged but not sure when. She prepared herself to make a new way in the civilian world without the GI Bill (where the government covers the cost of a 4-year degree).
She was afraid to fail more than what she had already been told she was failing in. Supervisors, coworkers, friends, commanders, her first sergeant, who is supposed to protect the morale and welfare of the unit, all told her the same thing, “just get the dang vaccine! Then we can help you!” Even her commander told her that he did not want “an essential worker who is valued like you” to be discharged, but “my hands are tied,” he said.
On April 12, 2022, she was given a Letter of Reprimand for violation of UCMJ Article 92, Disobeying a Lawful Order. That same month, as she was supposed to put on her next rank, her commander wrote a Nonrecommendation for Promotion and pulled her Staff Sergeant, E-5 line badge.
Then, May 19, 2022, she received the Notification of Recommendation for Discharge with MISCONDUCT SERIOUS OFFENSE as there reason for discharge. It was here that she learned she would not be getting a dishonorable discharge. She cried from relief. It was not an honorable discharge but, at least she would not be on the same level as a criminal.
She was thankful to the Congressmen and women that worked hard to stop President Biden’s attempt at giving service members like her a dishonorable discharge. She hopes that they will continue to push to upgrade the characterization to honorable, since involuntary veterans cannot continue to be punished for an illegal mandate that has now been rescinded. Many involuntary veterans are not able to pursue school because they are not eligible for the GI bill and are barred from employment opportunities and even third party benefits like membership with national veteran support organizations.
At this point, she was ready to get out. She had made plans with her family, she was prepared to start over. Waiting is what killed her the most. Day to day she had to show up to work in uniform knowing that it would be stripped from her.
For her, it was hard to be proud to wear the uniform when everyone saw her as a threat and a rebel. She got close to the Lord, her family over FaceTime and the local church. She fought for the principle more than the product, realizing the wrong done to everyone. How could we, as the most brave, be known to bow to the most illogical of rules?
This vaccine did not provide immunity nor safety, and more than that, rules were being broken left and right in the implementation of it. The beauty of the United States is the accountability the people are required to keep their leaders to based on the Constitution. That is what kept her standing.
And, on July 11, 2022, she was out. She sat on the kitchen floor in disbelief, full of sadness because she was now returning without the honorable stamp from the military, but with its rejection. But, keeping to her oath had just begun.
And that beginning includes sharing stories of the thousands upon thousands of service members that have suffered the same consequence for their convictions.
We need to raise awareness on the illegality and immorality that was done to those the U.S government says they honor the most. We need to honor our veterans and make sure they receive the veterans support and basic characterization of honorable they deserve.
We train our service members with the principles of liberty, integrity, and honor. So, let’s acknowledge the wrong done and thank our members for maintaining those principles we all are required to defend.
With the recent Declaration of Military Accountability, she joins in the movement to ensure that service members like her, the junior enlisted in the barracks is protected. Protected from willful illegality and misuse of authority within the ranks.
Junior enlisted should be able to trust their leaders, yet, we are facing a crisis of recruitment and retention because of the way DOD leadership has chosen to treat their members. The military should be known for honor and we expect our leaders to be honorable no matter the cost.
This is the story of one Involuntary Veteran.
There are many more out there.
And we won’t stop reminding the DOD leadership what oaths they have taken and keep them accountable to that.

A notorious murderer known as “The Pig Farm Killer” has been killed by a fellow inmate.
74-year-old Robert Pickton, one of the most prolific serial killers in Canada’s history, had been barely clinging to life after being speared in the head with a broken broom handle on May 19. The incident occurred in a segregated intervention unit at the maximum-security Port-Cartier Institution.
As CTV News Vancouver reported, The Correctional Service of Canada revealed on Friday that Pickton passed away in a hospital after being put in a medically induced coma.
“The inmate’s next of kin have been notified,” the Correctional Service of Canada said in a statement. “We have also contacted registered victims, in accordance with their specified notification preferences.
Police spokesman Hugues Beaulieu has confirmed that a 51-year-old inmate is in custody. The murder is under investigation.
Cynthia Cardinal, who lost her sister Georgina Papin to Pickton, was pleased with the outcome.
“This is gonna bring healing for, I won’t say all families, I’ll just say most of the families,” she said.
As the Daily Mail notes, Pickton took his female drug addicts and prostitutes to his pig farm Port Coquitlam, which is roughly 17 miles from Vancouver, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. While there, he murdered them by strangling them to death.
He then gutted them like animals and fed their bodies to his 600-pound pigs to dispose of evidence.
But investigators were eventually able to find the partial remains of six women — Papin, Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Brenda Ann Wolfe, and Marnie Frey — on his property. He was convicted of these crimes in 2007 and sentenced to life in prison.
The New York Post notes Pickton was also charged with an additional 20 murders, but the charges were dropped following his sentencing.
The monster was believed to have been responsible for the deaths of up to 49 females in total. He even sold human flesh before being convicted.

Donald Trump holds a commanding lead over Joe Biden among Arab Americans, according to the latest polling data from the American Arab Institute.
The institute surveyed around 900 voters in four key states that have sizeable Arab populations: Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
This is what they found:
While some national polls show President Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza is impacting voters from traditionally Democratic constituencies, this is most clearly the case with Arab American voters. In 2020, Biden bested former President Donald Trump by 59%-35%. In this poll, Biden is now losing to Trump by 32%-18%.
…
As in our October 2023 poll, President Biden continues to receive less than 20% of the Arab American vote—which stands in sharp contrast to the nearly 60% of the Arab American vote he received in 2020. Donald Trump continues to receive the votes of about one-third of Arab Americans—the same as he did in 2020.
The pollsters concluded that the main reason for Biden’s massive decline in popularity is because of his role in supporting Israel’s war against Hamas.
BREAKING- AAI 2024 election poll of #ArabAmericans in key states: Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, + Virginia.
KEY FINDINGS:
– Support for Biden at 18%
– 88% disapprove of Biden’s handling of Gaza
– 80% view Gaza as important in determining their vote–>https://t.co/1IIdSHOMnF pic.twitter.com/Sqtsvs39fZ
— Arab American Institute (@AAIUSA) May 30, 2024
They continued:
79% of Arab Americans have an unfavorable view of President Biden, while 56% have an unfavorable view of Donald Trump. Biden’s negative ratings are largely driven by the 56% of Democrats who view him unfavorably—with almost all Republicans saying they have an unfavorable view of Biden. On the other hand, Trump’s numbers are higher because he retains the near total support of those who identify as Republicans (while, of course, receiving almost no support among Arab Americans who are Democrats).
The simple reason why Biden’s numbers and ratings are so low is, in a word, Gaza. When given 10 issues and asked to rate which of the three are most important to them, 60% say it is the war in Gaza. In response to another question, 57% also say that Gaza will be “very important” in determining their vote in November.
After 8 months of Israel’s relentless assault on Palestinians in Gaza, 88% of Arab Americans say they have a negative view of the way Biden has handled the war, with overwhelming majorities across all party identification: Republicans (87%), Independents (86%), and even Democrats (87%).
As we have extensively reported at The Gateway Pundit, Democrats are panicking about Biden’s unpopularity among Arab voters.
As a result, he is desperately trying to change course on Israel by unveiling a three-part proposal to end the conflict that would start with a six-week ceasefire in which the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would be forced to withdraw from populated areas of Gaza. Unfortunately for Biden, Israel has yet to agree to the plan and is unlikely to do so.

A Texas elementary school teacher has been caught on tape filming X-rated videos inside her classroom and is now under investigation.
KHOU reported Thursday that the woman was a music teacher at Gray Elementary in Lamar Consolidated Independent School District in Fort Bend County. The school is located in Richmond, roughly 31 miles from Houston.
In the videos, the teacher is seen exposing her bare breasts and a** to a camera in one video inside the classroom. Another clip shows her exposing herself in a bathroom.
“This is me being crazy at work,” she says.

While the incident happened earlier this year, the videos only emerged on Wednesday, thanks to Libs of TikTok.
The unidentified woman resigned in February for “undisclosed reasons,” but the school district claims it wasn’t aware of these disgusting actions until the videos surfaced.
She told KHOU 11 News that she had made a big mistake, which she regrets.
‘It was a poor judgment on my part,” the teacher said. “I would never do it again.”
The woman claimed that the footage was intended for an ex-boyfriend and not for general public consumption.
At this point, the woman has not been charged with any crime. KHOU legal analyst Carmen Roe says the former teacher was not necessarily criminal.
The former teacher told the outlet that she stepped down from Lamar CISD for reasons unrelated to the video. She hopes her career and reputation are not permanently impacted.
KHOU also revealed she has filed a police report for possible revenge porn.

Emboldened by support from leaders of the terrorist Hamas organization and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, several chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) have announced plans to travel to Washington D.C. to “surround the White House.”
SJP shared their plans on Instagram:
June 8 marks eight months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, and marks the 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza.
A month ago, Biden said that the invasion of Rafah was a red line. But now, the invasion of Rafah has continued for weeks, has expanded to the entire Gaza Strip, and Biden’s red line is nowhere to be seen. Instead of following through and stopping military aid to Israel, Biden has authorized billions MORE in weapons shipments to be used to kill and massacre Palestinians.
Biden can’t draw the line, but we have. On June 8, we’ll come together from across the country and surround the White House. Wearing red, and raising our demands high, we’ll show the world that we are the red line.
Busses from Raleigh will be meeting at 7AM! Link in our bio for more info.
CEASEFIRE NOW. END THE SIEGE ON GAZA. FREE THE PALESTINIAN PRISONERS. END THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE. on social media announcing the June 8 plans.
The flyer accompanying the post says, “Biden, we are your red line. Stop the genocide. Surround the White House!”
The ANSWER Coalition and Peoples Forum NYC shared that buses are being made available for transportation to the event from all over the country, including Dearborn, Michigan; Des Moines, Iowa; Portland, Maine; and more.
The actions have the full support of terrorists and brutal regime leaders.
The Gateway Pundit reported that senior Hamas official Khaled Mashal officially thanked student protesters at American universities for their protests and anti-Israel encampments and for their participation in the “Al-Aqsa Flood” war.
A translation of his remarks was provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Mashal said, “We thank the great student Flood, which emerged from the American, European, and Western universities, and has reached all the countries of our nation. We are grateful for the spirit that we have witnessed in our nation and in humanity as a whole. We are grateful to the free people of the world.”
“We have an opportunity to defeat Israel, Allah willing. We have an opportunity to dismantle the Zionist enterprise. We have an opportunity to change the world.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei also shared his support of the protestors in a letter posted a letter online:
“Dear university students in the United States of America, you are standing on the right side of history. You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure – which openly supports Zionists…Dear university students in the US, my advice to you is to become familiar with the Quran.”

Disgraced former CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo’s attempt at revisionist history regarding the COVID pandemic blew up in his face after getting exposed for telling a big lie regarding Joe Rogan and Ivermectin while also denying the totalitarian policies of the pandemic.
Cuomo was a guest on investor Patrick Bet-David’s podcast on Friday to debate libertarian comedian Dave Smith on a variety of issues, including the COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns. Things went south quickly for Cuomo when he haughtily cited his experience to claim the lockdowns were not totalitarian.
He was promptly filleted by Smith, who gave the brutal truth and an ordinary American’s account of the lockdown tyranny.
WATCH:
https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1796678643764150530
CUOMO: I hear your understanding of the pandemic, and I don’t agree. I lived it closer than you in many ways…and there were many mistakes made. The idea that it was a totalitarian regime that’s hyperbole.
SMITH: Uh, can I respond to that? There was a lot there.
CUOMO: Sure. I didn’t mean to flood the zone. Take it one by one.
SMITH: First of all, when I describe the lockdowns that swept this nation as totalitarian, just to be clear, I’m not being hyperbolic!
When you’re waking up every morning to watch your TV to find out from your governor what you’re allowed to do today, including am I allowed to go to work, am I allowed to have a funeral for my father…there is one word and one word only for that, and that is totalitarianism.
But the worst was yet to come for Cuomo. During the height of lockdowns while his brother, then-New York Governor Andrew, was essentially murdering nursing home residents by forcing them to share space with COVID-infected patients, Cuomo and his CNN cronies were laughing at Americans for daring to question the accepted narrative on the pandemic.
This included mocking individuals such as Joe Rogan for claiming that Ivermectin (which Cuomo now takes) could effectively treat COVID. However, during the debate, Cuomo lied, claiming he did not like how the media treated Rogan.
Smith did not forget and proceeded to completely humiliate him with help from an old clip showing Don Lemon and Cuomo taunting Rogan for taking “horse dewormer” medicine.
Chris Cuomo gets absolutely bodied after he says he “didn’t like what people did to Joe Rogan” when he came out in support of Ivermectin.
Cuomo: I didn’t like what people did to Joe Rogan.
Dave Smith (@ComicDaveSmith): You literally did it.
Cuomo: No I didn’t.

CUOMO: Obviously, there was so much talk about how they don’t want you to take Ivermectin…Joe Rogan got better from Ivermectin. By the way, I don’t like what people did to Joe Rogan about Ivermectin…
SMITH: You did!
CUOMO: No, I didn’t.
SMITH: Yes, you did! Find the clips! You said Joe Rogan was taking horse dewormer. You and Don Lemon were chuckling at each other about it.
CUOMO: I’m not chuckling. I’m listening to Don.
SMITH: What I’m talking about wasn’t on there. (To producers) Do we have it?
(video plays showing Lemon and Cuomo mocking Rogan for taking Ivermectin)
SMITH (to Cuomo): You can’t apologize for that? You know that it was there. You are being so dishonest right now.
You were talking about Ivermectin, the drug. You were not talking about this version of Ivermectin.
CUOMO: I was responding to a situation where we were being told that this was what people were searching out to take, and nobody knew what it was going to do.
(audience jeers)
CUOMO: Look, I’m taking the drug right now. Obviously, I don’t think it is all poison… I stopped calling it (ivermectin) the horse dewormer when CNN’s Chief Medical Officer Sanjay Gupta said to me, “You shouldn’t call it just a horse dewormer drug.”
SMITH: By the way, I don’t know if you guys saw this, but one of the best moments during the pandemic was when Dr. Gupta went on Joe Rogan’s podcast. For all the days of CNN demonizing Joe Rogan, they send their top doctor on to his show.
And he (Rogan) goes, “Why is everyone on your network saying I’m taking horse dewormer? Ivermectin is not.” And Dr. Gupta looked down at his lap and went, “Yeah, they shouldn’t be saying that.”

A big brawl broke out earlier this week at a Spirit Airlines check-in desk inside the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, leaving one with minor injuries.
The incident was captured on a witness’s cell phone Tuesday and later obtained by TMZ.
The footage inside the airport, located nine miles from Baltimore in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, begins with a man wearing shorts and a sweatshirt approaching multiple ticket agents in Spirit Airlines uniforms with his fists up.
The workers accept the crazed man’s challenge to fight and begin closing in on him. Then, a fifth man wearing a white shirt arrives and throws a huge punch that throws the man off balance as the others surround him.
The initial aggressor falls to the ground and gets twisted in the rope barriers. The four airport workers proceed to savagely punch and kick him while the videographer starts laughing.

Officers responded to the Spirit Airlines ticket counters at BWI Marshall Airport for reports of a fight. Officers identified five involved individuals. One individual suffered minor injuries.
All involved parties were provided with victims’ rights and services information, including information about filing criminal charges at the local commissioner’s office.
The Baltimore Banner reported that four employees of the Spirit Airlines vendor were suspended following the fight.
The reason the brawl occurred is unknown at this time according to FOX 5 DC.

Recent revelations have emerged, exposing the White House’s admission in federal court to altering the transcript of Joe Biden’s testimony with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
These blatant alterations were made to artificially inflate Biden’s competence during his five-hour interrogation about his mishandling of classified documents.
Earlier this year, Washington Post reporter Matt Viser revealed that Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that Joe Biden recklessly mishandled sensitive materials discovered at his home and former office.
Disturbingly, the investigation also uncovered that Biden shared government secrets with his ghostwriter, further underscoring his blatant disregard for national security.
Adding to this damning report, it was revealed that during interviews with the Special Counsel, Biden struggled to answer even basic questions, such as when he served as Vice President or the year his son Beau passed away from brain cancer.
However, the DOJ opted not to bring charges against Biden, citing concerns that a jury would deem him too mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The damning report reads, in part:
In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.
And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he “had a real difference” of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to Barack Obama.
We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
The White House confronted a critical decision about releasing the interview transcript. Biden’s legal team contended that Hur’s references to Biden’s memory issues during the interview were misleading and unfairly prejudicial.
Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during an impromptu presser after the report was released.
“There is even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden previously told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
In March, Republicans planned to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for the Justice Department’s refusal to release the audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
“The House Oversight and Judiciary Committees issued lawful subpoenas to Attorney General Garland for the audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur, yet he continues to defy our subpoenas,” House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement. “These audio recordings are important to our investigation of President Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and his fitness to be President of the United States.”
But White House counsel Ed Siskel lashed out at the House GOP in an angry letter, accusing them of only wanting the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political reasons.
“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” Ed Siskel wrote.
He added, “Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally protected law enforcement materials from the Executive Branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate.”
However, new revelations revealed that the White House admitted to altering the transcript of Joe Biden’s testimony to the Special Counsel to make him appear less incompetent.
This not-so-shocking admission comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed by the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch against the US Department of Justice, demanding the release of the original recording of Biden’s testimony.
Unsurprisingly, Biden’s allies within the Justice Department have vehemently opposed this filing, aiming to delay or even prevent its release until after the upcoming election, according to Oversight Project, launched by The Heritage Foundation in January 2022, which aims to increase aggressive oversight of the Biden administration and its policies.
Mike Howell, Executive Director of the Heritage Oversight Project, expressed disappointment but not surprise at these delaying tactics.
“While we are disappointed with the Court’s decision, we appreciate the prompt and careful thought the Court is devoting to this case,” he said. “The real question is why are we in court at all? This tape belongs to the American people and there is no legitimate argument to not give it to them.”
“The idea that the DOJ needs months to send over a recording is absurd on its face. They should save the taxpayers millions of dollars in legal fees and just hit the send button. Instead, President Biden is having his Richard Nixon moment. If he wants to drag this out then it just means this chapter of corruption will be even longer,” he added.
President Biden has personally invoked Executive Privilege against The Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch in an attempt to keep his controversial interview with Special Counsel Hur under wraps.
Now, with the White House admitting to doctoring the transcript, the case has been blown wide open, according to the organization.
“WHITE HOUSE ADMITS THEY DOCTORED BIDEN’S CRIMINAL TRANSCRIPT,” the Oversight Project wrote.
“After being forced into Federal court by us, the White House admits they altered evidence to make Biden appear less incompetent. This case has been blown wide open,” it added.
Tom Fitton, founder of Judicial Watch, wrote, “Official transcript does not match the Biden audio tapes in the Hur investigation. Biden admin forced to admit to inaccurate transcript in court filing in Judicial Watch Federal FOA lawsuit. There is nothing ordinary about this and the transcript inaccuracy issues seem to help Mr. Biden political campaign needs.”
According to the court filing:
“The interview transcripts are accurate transcriptions of the words of the interview contained in the audio recording, except for minor instances such as the use of filler words (such as “um” or “uh”) when speaking that are not always reflected on the transcripts, or when words may have been repeated when spoken (such as “I, I” or “and, and”‘) but sometimes was only listed a single time in the transcripts.
Besides these exceedingly minor differences, based on my simultaneous review of the transcripts while listening to the audio recording, the transcripts accurately capture the words spoken during the interview on the audio recording with no material differences between the audio recording and transcripts. None of the minor differences include any audible substantive exchanges – that is, based on my review, there is no material omission of words between the audio recording and transcripts.
Special Counsel Hur and FBI personnel who attended the interview and compared the audio recording to the transcripts also informed me of their determination that the transcripts accurately reflect the words spoken on the audio recording aside from the minor instances I described above. Special Counsel Hur emphasized to me that it was important for purposes of his investigation that the interview transcripts be accurate.”

As the Gateway Pundit reported, the rigged New York City jury convicted President Trump on ALL 34 COUNTS in Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s lawfare case Thursday afternoon.
A giddy Merchan saluted the jury members for their “dedication and hard work” after one of American history’s greatest travesties of justice. The next step is the sentencing phase on July 11, where Merchan will have a chance to throw Trump behind bars.
Merchan to jurors: I really admire your dedication and hard work. You worked very hard and gave this matter the attention it deserves.

What should have been a joyous day for Kellyanne Conway’s ex-husband, George, one of the most disgraceful turncoats in America, went sour during an appearance on CNN Friday morning. He lost his entire mind when one of the few worthy voices on the leftist network, GOP strategist Scott Jennings, dared to suggest that the Democrats’ lawfare tactics would backfire on them.
An enraged Conway started SCREAMING for several minutes that Jennings was lying and asserted falsely that the crooked NYC jury only had to uncover an “underlying crime.” It got even worse for Conway when a bemused Jennings asked what crime Trump committed.
The meltdown was so complete that the deranged Conway even accused CNN of paying Jennings to lie, which caused liberal host Kasie Hunt to jump to Jennings’s defense. Once she did so, she finally shut the lunatic down.
WATCH (meltdown begins at the 5:40 mark):
Conway: I have to say, I mean, look, I mean, you know, Scott’s lying. And that’s the problem with the Republican Party. It is continually addicted to lies.
Jennings: Wait a minute. What am I, what am I what? What am I lying?
Conway: You’re lying! You’re lying, Scott, you’re lying about the law! You’re lying about what the jury was charged to find. They don’t have to find an underlying crime. They had to find the intent to cover up an underlying crime! And the underlying crime was pretty obvious.
Jennings: What was the crime?
Conway: You ran for public office, Scott! You ran for public office, Scott! You know, you can’t take money from somebody and reimburse them, as you know, if it’s a campaign… You know that d*mn well! And you’re…
Jennings (chuckling): I’ve never run for public office.
Conway: Fine. Well, you… you’re close enough. You’re involved in politics to know that. Okay. So that’s the problem with the Republican Party is that they are suffused with lies. I don’t know why this network is paying Scott to say those lies! Oh.
Hunt: Whoa, whoa. Okay. Please, let’s not go there.
Conway: No, no, no, we should go…
Hunt: Scott is our colleague, and we’re going to treat him respectfully as such. Continue.

Republished with permission.
Corrupt Soros-backed Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, and the Trump-hating gang of former Obama White House and Biden DOJ members like Matthew Colangelo, dropped BS indictments against President Trump in April 2023.
Below is the indictment:
Donald J. Trump Indictment by Jim Hoft on Scribd
On Thursday, a New York jury in corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s court found President Trump guilty of 34 “felonies.” Judge Merchan is arguably the most conflicted judge in history with his 20-something daughter raking in tens of millions from Democrat politicians before, during, and because of this case being tried.
These so-called “felonies” have been ignored by Big Media for a year, yet their accounting-related characteristics really stand out to anyone with an accounting background.
Eleven of these activities classified as “felonies” in the indictment don’t make any sense. President Trump didn’t commit these crimes because these accounting activities clearly aren’t crimes.
Throughout the investigation of the indictments, the corrupt actors going after President Trump claimed the following in 11 instances, starting with their first of 34 so-called felonies.
The defendant, in the County of New York and elsewhere, on or about February 14, 2017, with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof, made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, an invoice from Michael Cohen dated February 14, 2017, marked as a record of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, and kept and maintained by the Trump Organization.
Eleven times this indictment makes similar claims as above. This “felony” refers to the receipt of an invoice.
Bragg claims that President Trump:
“Made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, to wit, an invoice from Michael Cohen.”
This is the same as saying President Trump received an invoice from Michael Cohen. I don’t believe that there was evidence that President Trump ever received these invoices himself. But it really doesn’t matter.
US companies and entities receive thousands, if not millions of invoices every day. Individuals receive invoices as well. For most people they receive their electric bill or invoice in the mail or via email.
President Trump was found guilty of 11 felonies for receiving invoices in the mail or in his email. This is the equivalent of an American being found guilty of a felony for receiving their electric bill in the mail.
It is likely that no one in history other than President Trump has ever been charged with a felony for receiving an invoice from a vendor. Trump has no control over the receipt of invoices. He certainly never created them.
Also, he likely never received an invoice in his life. His accounts payable department would receive the invoices and record receiving them in vouchers in the books. President Trump never did this. He was the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company. This work was performed by the accounts payable department and yet he is charged with 12 felonies for posting these entries in the books.
The remaining 11 felonies for paying the invoices were also likely prepared by the Accounts Payable Department and perhaps signed by President Trump. Bragg claims that President Trump signed 9 of the checks.
It’s most likely that President Trump signed these checks after a cursory review at best, as most executives do for small payments.
This entire case is a sham. The fact that these monsters like Bragg and Colangelo used this to imprison an innocent man for fake crimes is the real crime.

The fake news targeted conservative pro-Trump websites on Thursday night following the unprecedented conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felonies that have yet to be defined by a far-left jury in a far-left jurisdiction by a crooked Trump-hating judge.
The far-left legacy media was looking to target conservatives for angry comments and threats following this unprecedented abuse of the US justice system.
Reuters published a piece targeting Truth Social, Patriots.Win and The Gateway Pundit for “calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution.”
Reuters spent several hours scouring comments on The Gateway Pundit to find two comments that fit their narrative.
We know they spent several hours scanning comments because The Gateway Pundit website had 3.2 million page visits and over 30,000 comments on Thursday.
That comes out to 2 violent comments in 30,000 comments or 0.0067%. Both of these comments highlighted in their article have been removed.
The Gateway Pundit removes violent, threatening, anti-Semitic, and racist comments on a daily basis. We obviously do a stellar job. But we are not yet 100% successful. We are 99.993% successful. Please forgive us!
The legacy media, which has yet to explain this lawfare suit against President Trump effectively, now wants you to shut up and keep taking the abuse.
The Gateway Pundit never calls on our community to commit violent crimes.
However, we do urge our readers to speak out and fight back against the Marxist minority that is determined to destroy this great nation and steal your God-given rights.
We salute those who resist their tyranny—and who resist with fierceness.
Don’t let their evil win. And don’t buy into their shame.”
Reuters reported:
Supporters of former President Donald Trump, enraged by his conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, flooded pro-Trump websites with calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution.
After Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, his supporters responded with dozens of violent online posts, according to a Reuters review of comments on three Trump-aligned websites: the former president’s own Truth Social platform, Patriots.Win and the Gateway Pundit…
[…]
On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting.”
[…]
…All three sites have policies against violent language, and some of the posts were later removed. Representatives of Patriots.Win and Gateway Pundit did not immediately return requests for comment. A Trump spokesperson also did not respond to an email seeking comment.
[…]
Other posts specifically urged targeting Democrats, in some cases suggesting they be shot. “AMERICA FULLY DESTROYED BY DEMOCRATS. LOCK AND LOAD,” wrote a commentator on Gateway Pundit.
This is not an isolated case. Following the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, the FBI feared retribution from the American public for their ongoing partisan attacks on President Trump.
Chris Wray put the FBI on high alert after scouring Gateway Pundit and flagging one comment out of 35,000 daily comments following the Mar-a-Lago raid.

Warner Bros. Games recently suffered a $200 million loss from its Suicide Squad game, which was drenched in woke diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Now, the company is doubling down on its woke commitment and has launched a new ‘Women and Non-Binary Leadership Program’ to ‘rehabilitate’ the male-dominated gaming industry.
Built In contributor Brigid Hogan shared the news following the program’s inaugural run.
Hogan reports that the program “engaged 25 women and non-binary leaders from across Warner Bros. Games’ 11 global studios and global publishing and central teams” with the goal of “cultivating career development opportunities for underrepresented individuals within the gaming sector, elevating diverse voices to leadership roles and shaping a more inclusive future for the industry.”
Hogan also shared remarks from several attendees.
Senior Producer for WB Games Jesyca Durchin said, “If you’re resistant to a program like this, maybe consider it from a position of self-care.”
“Because of the people I met and how the program was organized, I found I was feeling better each day. It was self-care to learn something new. Even something as simple as finding out I can access Linkedin Learning through my company membership helped me grow and find new outlets that are both good for me and help me to feel good.”
Senior Director of Business Development and Licensing Kelly C. Hill added, “I came into games full-time after a career in licensing spaces where women were the majority. I already had a sense that it was important for me to show up and to be an example that people like me can and should have a seat at the table. The program reaffirmed my commitment to bringing more diversity into the industry and doing what I can to let people see an alternative to what they may picture as a games executive.”
“There are challenges faced by women and non-binary people — in the games industry and in other industries, as well — that are unique but also shared, so we had the opportunity to realize that even though our roles were completely different, we still might be facing some of the same challenges. To get different perspectives from people who are at different places in their journey was really valuable, as we could share personal experiences that offered insights to pass back to people facing those challenges now.”

‘We cannot remain silent against such explicit tyranny’
Christians across America, and anyone who endorses “faith, family and freedom,” have been given their marching orders for the November presidential election.
The instructions do not include WHO to vote for, but the messaging is clear.
“The Left is not only waging legal warfare against Donald Trump. They are attempting to prevent half the country from having any say in the governance of our nation, and they have weaponized the legal system to ensure their success at any cost,” began a statement from Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy for the James Dobson Family Institute.
“They are already using our legal system to go after pro-life activists and patriotic Christians who defend religious liberty. The Deep State is spying on conservative parents and churches, treating them like enemies of the state. They have even gone so far as to compare caring parents to terrorists.
“The Left has repeatedly [contended] that conservatives are a threat to our democracy. Yet, they are the ones who are aggressively attacking our constitutional Republic with blatant disregard for our fundamental rights. We cannot remain silent against such explicit tyranny.”
The statement continued, “But here’s what we must understand: What just happened is not only about Donald Trump, and it will not stop with him.”
The verdict “is a clarion call for every God-fearing, America-loving Christian and our fellow citizens who believe in faith, family, and freedom to run, walk, or crawl, if necessary, to the polls this November.”
Bauer described the conviction, on Thursday, of Trump on business records-related claims as “a tragic day for America” and a “clear abuse of our justice system.”
“This politically motivated and stacked trial is what we have come to expect in communist China or North Korea—not in the United States of America. The totalitarian impulse of the neo-Marxist Left is to suppress and silence political opposition using any means necessary.”

Real estate investor Grant Cardone appeared on the Fox Business Network this week following the latest Trump verdict and said that it is going to have far reaching effects on the city’s economy.
He suggested that nobody (including him) wants to do business in New York City anymore because they no longer trust the political and legal system there.
Cardone says that the people who are invested in his company wouldn’t even allow him to do business there.
From FOX Business:
“If they can do this to Donald Trump, a former president, regardless of how you feel about the politics, if they can do this to a former president, what can they do to Grant Cardone? What can they do to any other businessman?,” the Cardone Capital founder also chimed in Friday on “Varney & Co.”
Cardone recently pulled his business out of the Empire State and cautioned that Trump’s legal troubles — including a previous $355 million fine in a New York civil fraud case in February — would “wreak financial havoc” on the city.
“I have 15,000 investors with me at Cardone Capital. We’ve raised $1.3 billion. If I went to them today and said, ‘I want to invest in New York City,’ they would not give me money to do that,” the investor argued.
“That’s one of the greatest cities on planet Earth. And nobody wants to go there and do business,” Cardone continued. “I blame the legal system. Clearly, the political system has been weaponized.”
Watch the video below:
New York City is already struggling under the weight of crime, reduced revenue due to people leaving, and the border crisis.
Now they are also going to deal with fewer investments from people just like Cardone.
This situation is going to have an impact on NYC that will last a long time and in ways that cannot even be seen yet.

Mark Levin of FOX News reacted to the Trump verdict on the Sean Hannity show last night and offered advice to Trump and his legal team.
Levin is a lawyer who worked in the Reagan Justice Department.
He thinks that this case needs to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, ASAP.
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
MARK LEVIN, FOX NEWS CHANNEL HOST: Well, I’ll say this, no crime, no jurisdiction, no due process, conflicted judge, Soros prosecutor, Manhattan jury.
You know, I’m going to tell you something, Sean, I’ve spent most of my legal career not as a former federal prosecutor, although I served as an chief of staff to an attorney general. I’ve spent most of my legal career fighting these people, suing the federal government, the DOJ, the IRS, the Treasury Department, the EPA, suing campaigns, fighting over voting rights laws and so forth.
And one thing I don’t think our audience understands and you need to understand, we have too many lawyers who are risk averse, too many lawyers who will whine and complain. I have spent 40 years sitting down with people who put on legal brass knuckles and take these bastards on in court. I’m on the — at the appellate and Supreme Court level, that’s where my focus has been my entire career.
So what they need to do now in my view is to go up the appellate chain in New York, we need to stop whining about how long that’s going to take, seek any emergency, immediate appeal that you possibly can. That’s one — one lane.
And the other lane is to try like hell to get to the Supreme Court.
People say, well, they’re not going to take it? You know what? If George Patton was said, I don’t think I can get to the Battle of the Bulge in time, we would have lost World War II. I am sick and tired of these legal defeatists.
We need to stop whining, stop complaining, we know what the hell we’re up against. It’s not news. It’s a fact.
We got to fight these people with our smarts. We have to take some risks. We need to push the edge of the envelope. I don’t mean in a way that that kooks do it, we need to look at Bush versus Gore. Why did the Supreme Court take that case from the Florida Supreme Court?

Trump’s approval rating has gone up following his sham guilty verdict in New York, according to a new poll.
It just goes to show that the vast majority of Americans know what the trial was all about and disapprove of the Democrats’ fascist tactics.
More backfire is coming, but this is a good start.
Townhall reports:
Support for Trump Skyrockets In New Poll Following Conviction
If the Democratic Party thought convicting former President Donald Trump was going to make his millions of supporters abandon him, they better think twice.
In fact, he got a six-point jump in approval after being found guilty of 34 counts for falsifying business records.
According to a poll conducted by the Daily Mail and J.L. Partners, 22 percent of voters now view Trump more favorably, while only 16 percent view him more negatively.
The poll was taken just hours after 12 jurors convicted Trump in an unprecedented and politically-motivated move.
The poll also found a four-point net positive impact for Trump among independent voters— who can ultimately decide the outcome of the November election.
The guy who managed the poll commented:
“Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,” he said. “But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant.”
“It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a ‘fighter’ against what they see as injustice,” Johnson continued.
This is fantastic.

Reporters ambushed Joe Biden at the White House during a celebration for Super Bowl winners the Kansas City Chiefs.
Reporters peppered Joe Biden with questions about his lawfare trial against President Trump after a Manhattan jury returned a guilty verdict.
Biden sent his top DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to New York to take down his main political rival, Donald Trump.
Soros DA Alvin Bragg and his top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, with the help of crooked judge Merchan, went after Trump for non-crimes related to ‘hush payments’ to porn star Stormy Daniels.
A Manhattan jury convicted Trump on all 34 felony counts. We still don’t know the crimes Trump committed.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Biden if he’s afraid he will be charged after he leaves the White House.
“Are you worried that this could happen to you someday—someone comes up with some charges and tries to bring you in to court after your term?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Biden.
“Not at all. I didn’t do anything wrong! The system still works,” Biden said.
Biden also mocked Trump.
“[Trump] thinks you’re pulling the strings behind the scenes to help yourself,” Doocy said.
“I didn’t know I was that powerful,” Biden said with a smug look on his face.

There was no crime, but the Democrats ratcheted up what would be a misdemeanor to a felony in order to bypass the statute of limitations, and Marxist Judge Juan Merchan helped to rig the trial for a guilty verdict.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen, who the media and prosecutors falsely labeled his “fixer,” in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
The jury deliberations began on Wednesday after “highly conflicted” Judge Merchan, whose daughter has received MILLIONS of dollars consulting the Democrats who want to take down Trump, instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history.
The jury only had to agree that something bad happened, but not on what that something was.
This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
The jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts! Ironically for the Biden Regime, however, the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges has translated into MORE THAN $34 MILLION fundraised for our real President.
As The Gateway Pundit reported this morning, Trump had raised a campaign record of $34.8 MILLION in the 24 hours after he was convicted by a leftist jury of 34 felony charges in the Alvin Bragg witch hunt trial.
President Trump announced that he would appeal the bogus charges and called Joe Biden a dummy in a press conference this morning.
Now, Team Trump's MAGA War Room X account reveals that Donald Trump's reelection campaign has raised nearly $53 MILLION off of his conviction in Merchan's Kangaroo Court!

Keep in mind that Joe Biden previously set a record with an event that raked in a previously unprecedented $25 million. About a week later, Trump set another record unprecedented event with a fundraising amount of over $50 million!
President Trump's nearly $53 Million in 24 hours is not something to be totally surprised about as the Americans denounce political prosecution.
The Trump campaign released the following statement on Friday evening:
In the 24 hours since Crooked Joe Biden and his New York henchmen got their sham trial verdict, the Trump Campaign has raised $52.8 million through the online digital fundraising platform.THAT'S MORE THAN $2 MILLION PER HOUR!With more than one third of these donors being new to the campaign, it is clear that more and more Americans are seeing through the Biden election interference and joining President Trump in the movement to save our nation."Biden and his Democrat allies have turned our legal system into a political tool, and Americans from every corner of the country have had enough," said Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita. "This momentum is just getting started and together, as President Trump stated perfectly, Americans will render the real verdict November 5th."

Samoan police have reported that former University of Hawaii professor Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, who is the aunt of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, was murdered at the GaluMoana Theater in Samoa.
According to Hawaii News Now, Sinavaiana-Gabbard, 78, was killed by Samoan playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57, after the two got into a heated argument at the GaluMoana Theater.
Spectrum News reported Figiel stabbed Sinavaiana-Gabbard several times and beat her with a hammer until her death.
After the violent act, Figiel allegedly fled to a friend’s house, where she was later arrested.
Initially, Fiegel was charged with suspicion of manslaughter, but after a preliminary investigation, authorities increased the charge to murder.

Per Hawaii News Now:
Samoan police have charged a prominent playwright with the murder of retired UH professor Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard, former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s aunt.
Police say Samoan playwright Papalii Sia Figiel, 57, was charged with the murder at her home.
She was initially arrested on manslaughter charges, but police upgraded the charge after finding “incriminating” evidence, including a small knife and hammer. A motive is still under investigation.
Media outlets report the two women were colleagues and friends, and that Gabbard was Figiel’s mentor.
In response to his sister being murdered, Hawaii state Senator Mike Gabbard wrote, “Caroline was my best friend as a teenager.”
“I love her deeply and wish her well as she continues her journey. While I sincerely forgive the murderer of this horrific crime, I’m hoping justice will be served, and that person will be punished to the full extent of the law,” added Gabbard.

“Repetition is the key to a successful message and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country!” Soros added.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama announced her mother, Marian Louis Shields Robinson passed away on Friday.
She was 86.
“She passed peacefully this morning, and right now, none of us are quite sure how exactly we’ll move on without her,” the Obamas said.
Michelle Obama’s mother lived at the White House for 8 years during Obama’s presidency.
“Marian Lois Shields Robinson — our mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother — had a way of summing up the truths about life in a word or two, maybe a quick phrase that made everyone around her stop and think. Her wisdom came off as almost innate, as something she was born with, but in reality it was hard-earned, fashioned by her deep understanding that the world’s roughest edges could always be sanded down with a little grace.” – Barack Obama wrote in a Medium post.

Michigan Dems Pass Bill to ease Voter Fraud, Make Investigating Fraud Impossible
A week ago, Michigan Senate Bill 603 was reported out of the Elections Committee in the Michigan House on a party-line vote. Democrats were in favor of the bill, which would effectively make illegal any kind of voter fraud investigation for future elections.
House Elections Cmte. Vice-Chair Smit: “If the 2020 was so Secure, why are Democrats Making Future Investigations Illegal?”
Elections Committee Vice Chair Rachelle Smit explained, “This bill prevents Boards of Canvassers from investigating election fraud. Now, it only permits investigations for ‘error’ but assumes that there is no such thing as voter fraud. The Democrats are ensuring are elections and election processes are neither safe nor secure. This bill ensures that every election is now suspect because there’s no way to investigate fraud.”
Independent studies by academics have shown ‘impossible statistical anomalies’ in the 2020 Michigan election returns, especially with absentee ballots. As well, the Gateway Pundit interviewed and published video from dozens of eyewitnesses who saw late-arriving illegal ballots, ghost voters, mishandling of ballots, intimidation of GOP election workers and poll challengers, illegal expulsion of GOP workers, likely fraudulent ballots, secret suppressed evidence of a systemic effort to register fake voters, all processed and counted to throw the election against incumbent Donald Trump, all just within Michigan.
Rep. Rachelle Smit, a Republican, is a former elections clerk for her local jurisdiction in west Michigan. Her colleague Rep. Jay DeBoyer was also a former County Clerk overseeing elections in St. Clair County, Michigan.
Rep. Jay DeBoyer had this to say about the legislative changes enacted by the Democrat legislature, “The Dems are successfully stacking the deck by stripping provisions of law that would provide for the detection of potential fraud committed during the process of administering an election. This is bad; we all know it’s bad yet the ignorance and pure disregard for election security from the democrats reigns Supreme.”

Scientists in the United Kingdom have announced a “ground-breaking” vaccine that they claim could save people from bowel cancer.
In a statement from the British National Health Service, the state-run healthcare system confirmed that thousands of cancer patients would be given “fast-tracked access to trials of personalised cancer vaccines.”
The statement read:
The NHS today announced it has treated its first patient in England with a personalised vaccine against their bowel cancer, in a clinical trial part of NHS England’s new Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad.
In a national first, father-of-four Elliot Phebve received the developmental jab at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, one of several sites taking part in the colorectal cancer vaccine trial sponsored by BioNTech SE.
The German biotechnology company will tomorrow (1 June) present new preliminary data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s annual conference in Chicago on how measuring circulating tumour DNA could potentially help early detection of colorectal cancer.
According to the NHS, the cancer vaccines have been developed using the same MRNA technology used to create the COVID-19 jabs, which incidentally are neither safe nor particularly effective.
Elliot is among the first in England to receive a personalised cancer vaccine as part of a trial aimed at helping cancer patients.
If successful, these vaccines might one day prevent a patients cancer from returning or spreading.

The statement continued:
The investigational cancer vaccines evaluated in the colorectal cancer trial are based on mRNA – the same technology used for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine – and are created by analysing a patient’s tumour to identify mutations specific to their own cancer.
Using this information, medics then create an experimental individualised cancer vaccine.The developmental vaccines are designed to induce an immune response that may prevent cancer from returning after surgery on the primary tumour, by stimulating the patient’s immune system to specifically recognise and potentially destroy any remaining cancer cells.
The investigational cancer vaccines being jointly developed by biopharmaceutical companies BioNTech and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, are still undergoing trials and have not yet been approved by regulators.
The development comes as scientists around the world say they are baffled by a mysterious cancer “epidemic” affecting young people. This has been particularly highlighted in the United Kingdom by Princess Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, although the specific type of cancer has not been publicly disclosed.

One person undoubtedly thrilled over Trump’s misfortune was arguably the most corrupt and wicked Democrat of all: Hillary Clinton.
As the Daily Beast revealed, Crooked Hillary was presenting an award Thursday night at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for the Global Leadership Awards, shortly after the news of Trump’s conviction broke.
A grinning Hillary thanked the adoring crowd and then joked, “Anything going on today?” The attendees responded by erupting in applause.

But the vile woman was not done having a party at Trump’s misfortune. She went on Instagram that same night to promote a $22 mug with a painted image of herself sipping tea. Above and around the image reads the slogan, “Turns out she was right about everything.”
She explained in the post that each purchase would fund the radical-left Onward Together groups to help them “defend democracy.”
“We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot,” Hillary wrote in the post. “The design happened to be finalized today.”
“With your purchase, you’ll support Onward Together groups defending democracy… and get a pretty great mug to sip tea from,” she continued.

As tensions increase between the China and the United States during China’s Unrestricted Warfare to collapse America, there are concerns about Unrestricted Warfare moving into a Shooting War over issues like Taiwan. The American military’s dalliance with “woke” ideologies are concerning and are tangibly degrading professionalism, operational planning, and output of the Defense Industrial Base.
Administration officials such as Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth deny “wokeness” is an issue and the Army has been pushing their interpretation of internal polling data that “safety” is the real issue in regards to failures to meet recruiting and retention goals – which immediately triggered Republican Congressional requests to see the complete, unredacted data instead of the Army official interpretation of the data.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Milley blamed allegations of “wokeness” as the real issue causing recruiting and retention – concurrently with West Point being sued for left leaning admission policies.
Despite denials from Administration officials of the existence of wokeness, there is growing evidence that the U.S. Military is in a crisis and this can possibly translate into catastrophic consequences for the U.S. military in kinetic conflict with China.
The Navy and Air Force are the lead services in deterring Chinese aggression and responding to hostility in the Western Pacific. Woke policies have reduced readiness of the ships and aircraft as well as the combat effectiveness and morale of the Service Members.
The key metric describing readiness for U.S. Military units is what is known as “Operational Readiness” (OR) rates. Things are not looking good in this area. In a stunning admission, the Commandant of the Marine Corps revealed that the OR rate for the 31 Amphibious Vessels of the U.S. Navy was 32%.
That means of the 31 ships, only 9 were ready. Each deployed Expeditionary Strike Group normally has three of these ships, so the rest of the amphibious ships (22) have various maintenance issues preventing them from deploying.
Not a good situation in anyway – this means only 9 of the 31 Amphibious ships are available for worldwide contingencies. The USS Boxer, one of the large and valuable amphibious warfare ships will shortly and incredulously be out of service for a year and a half for maintenance issues.
The Air Force has similar issues. The premier incoming fighter for the Air Force is the F-35A, the Air Force version of the Marine F-35B which unexplainedly ejected a pilot in 2023 after takeoff from Charleston Air Force Base in South Carolina.
The Air Force OR rate for the F-35A is 55% and repairs are slow. This OR rate is falling, not climbing as more F-35s are introduced into service, an odd phenomena – OR rates should be climbing as more and more of the force becomes more familiar on how to keep these critical assets mission ready.
So how does wokeness play into these hard metrics? A lot. There is a direct correlation between OR rates and training, cohesion, and lethality of frontline units.
When the Navy obsesses over terms to be more gender-inclusive, when the Air Force Academy promotes critical race theory over combat knowledge, when the Department of Defense embraces corrosive DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) training, these ideologies steal valuable time from focusing on the true mission of the Military, deterring conflict and if necessary winning.
General Milley was infamously curious about “White Rage”, he should have been just as curious on true causal factors of poor OR rates such as wokeness – which will directly lead to more American casualties and losses in possible conflict with China.
In the Army War College Parameters Journal, an article come out that ignited a debate. In the article, the authors identified casualties of 3,600 a day in future conflict, losses not seen since the American Civil War, and thus their intuitive conclusion: Bring back the draft.
This paper purports to be interested in intellectual truth but avoided any possible correlation between the political indoctrination of wokeness and a poorly trained and led military that can lead to these high casualties.
An American aircraft carrier has approximately 5,000 Sailors on board between the ship’s crew and Air Wing. If the carrier is going in harm’s way with fewer escort vessels and aircraft because of poor OR rates – this could lead to mass casualties and loss of life.
This is sons, daughters, husbands, wives, friends, and loved ones unnecessarily put at risk because of the focus on DEI over military readiness. The Arleigh Burke Destroyers – the most numerous combat vessel in the U.S. Navy, has been delivered for years with a vacant position for a much needed, Close In Weapons System to protect the ship from Chinese missiles.
It is intuitive that our ships need to have maximum protection in harm’s way, yet the Services prioritize wokism over making sure American ships are fully equipped.
Although some American military leaders theorize wokeness is a strength – it only emboldens China. The debacle of Afghan withdrawal was woke theater and communicated loss of resolve and strength by America.
The Joint Staff and the Central Command Staff were once the most brilliant military staffs in the world but have been overtaken by wokeness and have lost their military art form. This is a green light for China to advance and seize territory.
A U.S. military hampered by wokeness could struggle to respond with decisive force before Chinese troops dig in with their gains. Having to retake seized land would require bloody amphibious operations hindered further by fewer amphibious ships available due to low OR rates.
A highly trained and equipped military focused on readiness would be far better at deterring conflict with China. Woke ideologies will cause severe human and strategic costs to America.

On Thursday, several Republican figures released strongly worded statements expressing their outrage and support for Trump following his guilty verdict.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted her colleagues for their inaction against the Democrats.
She wrote, “Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms. Many Republicans would just quote the Constitution as they are marched to the firing squad. When good men do nothing, evil prevails.”

On Friday, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) echoed Greene’s sentiments, emphasizing the need for more than just verbal condemnation.
“Strongly worded statements are not enough,” Lee asserted on Friday. “Those who turned our judicial system into a political cudgel must be held accountable. We are no longer cooperating with any Democrat legislative priorities or nominations, and we invite all concerned Senators to join our stand.”
The defiant stance was formalized in a letter initially signed by eight Senators, including Mike Lee (R-UT), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), JD Vance (R-OH), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Rick Scott (R-FL), and Marco Rubio (R-FL).
The letter lambasts the Biden administration for its profound disregard for American principles and the politicization of justice.
The senators have vowed to block any non-security related funding increases for the administration, oppose all political and judicial appointments, and refuse expedited consideration of Democrat-led legislation unless it directly pertains to national security.
The letter reads:
“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways. As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White House in its project to tear this country apart.
To that end, we will not 1) allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare; 2) vote to confirm this administration’s political and judicial appointees; and 3) allow expedited consideration and passage of Democrat legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”

Sen. Schmitt wrote, “Democrats have destroyed the integrity of our justice system and made a mockery of the Constitution – all in the name of maintaining political power. My colleagues and I aren’t going to go along with the status quo. Enough is enough.”
Sen. Marshall wrote, “Joe Biden and his army of partisan hack judges have weaponized our judicial system against his political opponent. Words are not enough. Call on your Senator to join our fight – We will block every single Biden judicial nomination until America votes on November 5th.”
Sen. Blackburn wrote, “The White House’s weaponization of our government to target President Trump for political gain represents the pinnacle of two tiers of justice. We cannot allow this grave injustice to prevail in the United States of America. My Republican colleagues & I are taking a stand.”
Sen. Scott wrote, “100% agree. Our country is in real trouble. Republicans must stand together and end this madness.”
Senator Mike Lee urged his colleagues to join the boycott, stating, “I hope to have every Republican senator sign this. This is a call for unity within the Senate Republican Conference. Now is the time to choose: will we let the Republic fall, or will we take action to protect it?”
In a new update, Senators Josh Hawley and Ron Johnson have joined the pledge.
“UPDATE: salute to [Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Ron Johnson] for joining our pledge! Democrats don’t get to wreck our judicial system and expect any cooperation on their legislative priorities,” Sen. Lee wrote.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden‘s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo to testify before the Weaponization Committee on June 13 following the guilty verdict against Trump.
Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
Biden sent Matthew Colangelo to New York to convict his main political opponent on non-crimes.
The jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on 34 felony counts after crooked judge Juan Merchan rigged the trial and allowed jurors to choose among three predicate crimes Trump committed.
We still don’t know what crimes Trump committed.
Chairman Jordan called Bragg and Matthew Colangelo to testify on June 13 at 10 am.
Last month Chairman Jordan launched an investigation into Matthew Colangelo.
Jordan specifically called out Matthew Colangelo in his letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials. Since last year, popularly elected prosecutors—who campaigned for office on the promise of prosecuting President Trump—engaged in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current leading candidate for that office. New York County District Attorney (DANY) Alvin Bragg is engaged in one such politicized prosecution, which is being led in part by Matthew B. Colangelo, a former senior Justice Department official. Accordingly, given the perception that the Justice Department is assisting in Bragg’s politicized prosecution, we write to request information and documents related to Mr. Colangelo’s employment,” Jim Jordan wrote in a letter obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
Chairman Jordan said Colangelo’s recent employment history with the DOJ “demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather that prosecuting a crime.”

On Thursday night, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to the guilty verdict on 34 felonies against Donald Trump delivered by a ‘kangaroo court.’
The jury never explained what crime Trump committed and was not required to explain what crime Trump committed.
Although they were rivals in the Republican primary, The Gateway Pundit reported DeSantis and Trump confirmed a reconciliation meeting at Shell Bay Club in Hollywood, Florida, in April.
Trump expressed satisfaction with the meeting, noting, “I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida. We had a great meeting yesterday. The conversation mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
DeSantis released the following statement on X Thursday night:
Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.
That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.
It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict.
In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.

Billionaire hedge fund manager and longtime Democratic Party donor Bill Ackman is set to endorse Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Ackman, who is the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management and has an estimated worth of $4 billion, has reportedly decided to endorse Trump after concluding that Joe Biden must be removed from office.
The Financial Times reports:
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman is leaning towards backing Donald Trump in the US election, according to a person briefed on his thinking, as some of Wall Street’s leading figures throw their weight behind the former president.
Ackman, who backed Trump’s Republican rivals, including Nikki Haley, in the party’s primary contest this year, is likely to make his endorsement on X, the Elon Musk-controlled social media platform in which he is a minority investor. Ackman has previously donated money to Democrats, including Dean Phillips, who mounted a primary challenge to President Joe Biden this year.
The person familiar with Ackman’s thinking said the billionaire did not believe alternative candidates such as Robert F Kennedy Jr, whose long-shot White House bid he had also supported, were likely to win.
They added that Ackman’s dislike for Biden far outweighed his ambivalence for Trump.
Ackman has recently expressed grave concerns about the rise of anti-semitism across the American left and helped spearhead the campaign to remove Harvard President Claudine Gay from office.
His likely endorsement comes after the CEO of Blackstone, Stephen A. Schwarzman, also confirmed that he would be fully supporting Trump against the Biden regime.
“The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency,” Schwarzman told Axios.
“I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. For these reasons, I am planning to vote for change and support Donald Trump for President. In addition, I will be supporting Republican Senate candidates and other Republicans up and down the ticket, he added.

While so many “Republicans” like Larry Hogan and Mitch McConnell have REFUSED to defend the 45th President, one person who has stepped up to the plate is Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).
Vance was a guest on CNN Friday alongside longtime liberal news anchor Wolf Blitzer to weigh in on the disgraceful verdict. Things went south immediately for Blitzer demanded to know whether J.D. Vance would be interested in serving as a running mate to a “convicted felon.”
Vance quickly put Blitzer in his place by pointing out Merchan’s corrupt behavior and his and his daughter’s donations to the Biden campaign. He then committed to helping Trump in any way possible because a loss by Trump would be the end of America as we know it.
WATCH (relevant exchange takes place in the first 1:45):
BLITZER: Are you interested in being the running mate of a convicted felon?
VANCE: Wolf, the entire purpose of this trial was to get the media and the Democrats to say exactly that…when, in fact, the only thing Donald Trump is guilty of is being in the courtroom of a political sham trial.
BLITZER: But the jury was approved by the Trump lawyers.
VANCE: My complaint is not with the jury, Wolf. My complaint is with the judge, with the jury instructions that were clearly reversible, and with the judge who donated to the Biden campaign, which should force a recusal.
BLITZER: He donated $15…
VANCE: To stop Donald Trump. This “judge” committed multiple elements of reversible error, and he did it while his daughter has made a ton of money off of Democratic candidates and while he himself donated to the Biden campaign…
BLITZER: So let me repeat the question…
VANCE (shutting him down): You cannot say this trial was anything more than politics masquerading as justice.
Blitzer (stammering): Uh…
VANCE: And yes, I will help Donald Trump in any way that I can, Wolf, because if we allow this to happen…if we allow this standard that you can throw your political opponents in jail because they are doing so much better than you in the polls in an election, it will be the end of this country as we know it.
Blitzer was also triggered after hearing Trump call the United States a “fascist state” during his Trump Tower press conference Friday and attempted to get Vance to disavow the remark.
But Vance again gave Blitzer the business, despite several desperate attempts by the CNN anchor to interrupt. He stuck to the hard facts, pointing out that Joe Biden is trying to throw Trump in prison for a “paperwork violation” and the biased instruction Merchan gave the jury.
Senator @JDVance1 DESTROYS Wolf Blitzer
“I served in Iraq in the United States Marine Corps…I am outraged at this entire proceeding – not at Donald Trump’s criticism of it…This is disgraceful. I don’t care what you call it…This is not the America that I know and love.” pic.twitter.com/y7yTyKttHh

BLITZER: Is the United States a fascist state?
VANCE: Wolf, I served in Iraq in the United States Marine Corps. I have multiple family…
BLITZER: Were you outraged when he said that?
VANCE: I am outraged at this entire proceeding…
BLITZER: Donald Trump is calling the United States, the greatest country in the world, a fascist state. Are you okay with that?!
(crosstalk)
VANCE: When the President of the United States is using the power of the courts to throw his political opponent in jail, I think that it is disgraceful.
I don’t care what you call it.
BLITZER: You think Trump is disgraceful?
VANCE: I think this legal proceeding is disgraceful.
BLITZER: But what about Trump calling this country a fascist state?
VANCE: They’re trying to throw him in prison! For a paperwork violation!
Blitzer: By his peers…
VANCE (finally shutting him down again): After the judge gave the jury biased instructions. After that, the judge donated to Donald Trump’s political opponent. Of course he’s going to be frustrated and he has every right to be.
I don’t care what you call this, but this is not the America I know and love.

Joe Biden’s campaign staffers audibly cheered after the Trump guilty verdict was announced on Thursday according to ABC News.
The jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts!
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.
After deliberating for several hours on Thursday, the jury returned a guilty verdict after the judge rigged the trial by allowing jurors to choose which crime they believed Trump committed.
Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree something bad happened. This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
This was clearly the greatest travesty of justice in American history.
So now we have a convicted US President with 34 felony counts and NO ONE knows what crime President Trump committed!
The sentencing was set for July 11 – Three days before the Republican convention!
The guilty verdict comes after Joe Biden sent his DOJ official and hatchet man Matthew Colangelo to New York to get Trump.
This is clearly election interference at the highest level.
“Our team has heard that there were some cheers inside the Biden campaign headquarters in Wilmington when the verdict was read,” ABC News reported.
The Soviet-style show trial and guilty verdict is already backfiring on Biden and the Democrat party.
Trump has raised a record $39 million since the guilty verdict was announced and he got a six-point bump in approval.

Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks on the Middle East one day after a jury returned a guilty verdict against Trump.
Dictator Biden unleashed on Trump during his remarks and declared it is dangerous for Trump to say the trial was rigged.
The jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts in Alvin Bragg’s “hush money” trial and we still don’t know what crimes Trump committed.
President Trump immediately came out and declared himself a political prisoner.
Biden was clearly satisfied with the work his Regime did to convict his main political opponent Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?” a reporter asked Joe Biden.
Biden shuffled away, stopped, turned around and smirked before shuffling away again.
Joe Biden is pure evil.

Donald Trump on Friday held a press conference at Trump Tower this morning after he was convicted on 34 sham felony charges in the New York City courthouse on Thursday.
“It all comes out of the White House,” said Trump of his political persecution. He continued, “Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country.
He’s the worst president in the history of our country, the most incompetent; he’s the dumbest president we’ve ever had. He’s the dumbest President, most incompetent president, and he’s the most dishonest president we’ve ever had.”
Trump gave an outstanding speech that wasn’t a campaign stump speech, and he spoke so clearly and powerfully for 33 straight minutes. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is “a man who can’t put two sentences together,” as Trump noted during his press conference. This is why the prosecution and Merchan placed Trump under a gag order.
The truth is too damning to the narrative about Donald Trump that they are trying to promulgate with their far-left media allies. And they don’t want Trump speaking because Joe Biden can’t speak for sh*t.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump announced his plans to appeal the “tyrant” Judge Juan Merchan’s rigged show trial and the sham verdict in Alvin Bragg’s felony witch hunt case.
There was no crime, but the Democrats ratcheted up what would be a misdemeanor to a felony in order to bypass the statute of limitations, and Marxist Judge Juan Merchan helped to rig the trial for a guilty verdict.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen, who the media and prosecutors falsely labeled his "fixer," in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
The jury deliberations began on Wednesday after “highly conflicted” Judge Merchan, whose daughter has received MILLIONS of dollars consulting the Democrats who want to take down Trump, instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that something bad happened, but not on what that something was.
This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
The jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts! Ironically for the Biden Regime, however, the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges has translated into MORE THAN $34 MILLION fundraised for our real President.
In addition to slamming Biden as "the dumbest president we've ever had," Trump also slammed RINOs Liz Cheney and "Crying Adam Kinzinger," the disgraced fake Republicans who led the congressional J6 witch hunt and second impeachment hoax against President Trump.
At every turn, the deep state and the Swamp have been persecuting Donald Trump and trying to stop him since day one.
WATCH BELOW:
Trump: I've been treated very badly by two other judges also because it's all the same thing. And it all comes out of the White House. Crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of our country. He's the worst president in the history of our country, the most incompetent; he's the dumbest president we've ever had. He's the dumbest President, most incompetent president, and he's the most dishonest president we've ever had.
He's a Manchurian Candidate. You take a look at the way he treats China, Russia, so many others. You know, I ended the Russian pipeline; it was dead. He comes in, and he approves it.
And he gets three and a half million, meaning three and a half million is paid to the family, his family, from the mayor of Moscow’s wife. And I said, “Where did that come from?” Nobody wants to talk about it. But he's a very big danger to our country. And the only way they think they can win this election is by doing exactly what they're doing right now: Win it in the courts because they can't win at the ballot box.
So we're going to show them that— Oh, we're gonna fight. It's actually, I don't know, it's something where I'm wired in such a way that a lot of people would have gone away a long time ago; they would have gone away after impeachment hoax number one, that was a total hoax. I had great support from the Republican Party, though. Then you had impeachment hoax number two. And then they formed a committee. How about they formed a committee of thugs, the J6 committee of thugs. And they took their records, and they destroyed all of the records after the committee was abandoned because those records were great for us. Now, can you imagine if Republicans did that? Everybody would have been in jail by now.
Think of it, the unselect — I call it the unselect -- they call it the select committee. I call it the Unselect Committee of thugs. They meet, it’s 100% Democrat and two pass Republicans that are no longer Republicans that are no longer in business anymore. Thank you. But it was all Democrats and two wayward Republicans: Liz Cheney, and Cryin. Adam Kinzinger…
He cries every time he goes on television, He’s the most emotional human being I think I've ever seen. And that was our Representatives. These two people were our Reps. So, they had all this stuff that they're leaking, and then when it came time to look at the records, like where the police said and the Capitol Guard said that I supplied, think of it, that I recommended as many soldiers or National Guard as you want-- 10,000. If you had 500, you wouldn't have had a problem, there wouldn't have been a J6, but Nancy Pelosi and the group didn't want it.
Anyway, so they have testimony to all of that— that I did not attack the Secret Service agent in the front of a car. You know, these are strong people, and I supposedly went to the driver, and I grabbed him around the neck, and he rebuffed me, and then I went to the other guy, who I think is a black belt in karate. And he's slightly younger than me, maybe 35 years, 40 years, 50 years.
And I grabbed him around the neck; he's a black belt in karate, they know how to get somebody from around their neck. They would have gone like this, and that would be the end of that. Actually, I had a friend that said, you shouldn't dispute that. That makes you look like the toughest cookie we've ever seen. You should have let that go on. But the fact is, it never happened. It was all made up. And that was proven to be made up. It proved to be a false story. And they deleted and destroyed all of that information, every ounce of it.
We're dealing with a corrupt government. We have a corrupt country. Our elections are corrupt, our borders are open. Our borders are going to be closed very soon. November 5 is going to be the most important day in the history of our country.
Now, when I say that, because my people are always saying, do this, do this because we're fighting for America: DonaldJTrump.com. I hope everybody watching right now: DonaldJtrump.com because it really makes a difference. They have a lot of money on the other side. I don't know where they get it. Nobody knows where they get it, but for some reason they get money. But they're not on the side of our country.

In the wake of the unconstitutional verdict against former President Donald Trump, Kash Patel, a former Trump administration official, is urging Republican lawmakers to take a bold stand against perceived judicial and prosecutorial misconduct.
Patel’s statement, made on Truth Social, demands lawmakers investigate financial gains made by the family of Judge Juan Merchan and examine connections between the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the Biden White House.
“Congress: Subpoena the bank records for Merchan’s daughter- find out how much money she has made for her family since her father unlawfully stayed on the case, and how much money she will make as a direct result of this unconstitutional verdict,” Patel said.
Last month, Trump filed a motion requesting Judge Merchan be recused because of his daughter’s political work.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia reported on Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren, back in April.
There is the scandal involving Merchan’s daughter. As brilliantly exposed by Laura Loomer, Merchan’s impartiality has been irreparably muddied by reports that his daughter, Loren, serves as President of an organization called “Authentic,” which describes itself as a “digital agency” that “partner[s] with clients to build award-winning programs for progressive causes and campaigns.”
The organization proudly boasts Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff, who pushed the debunked Steele dossier claiming Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as two of its most valued clients.
Other clients featured on the organization’s website are the Biden Harris Campaign, Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, among countless other far-left progressive Democrats.
To occupy such a high leadership role in a group whose client is, incredulously, the “Biden Harris campaign” is the paradigmatic example of a conflict of interest. And not that further evidence to support a conflict would be needed, but Loomer’s research also uncovered that, per FEC public filings, Loren donated thousands of dollars directly to Democratic politicians.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
“In 2019, Ms. Merchan made public statements during a podcast regarding a conversation with Your Honor that reflect bias against President Trump from both speakers in that exchange,” Trump’s lawyers wrote Friday, according to Fox News. “Consistent with that conversation, President Biden and Vice President Harris are long-term clients of Authentic and Ms. Merchan, along with many other politicians and entities who are actively campaigning and advocating against President Trump right now.”
“Authentic’s clients disbursed more than $18 million to the company between the return of the Indictment and the present,” Trump’s attorneys wrote. “It is industry practice that Authentic would receive percentages based on funds raised and recipient engagement, and Ms. Merchan has had an ownership stake and leadership role in the company while this case is pending.”
Here is Authentic Campaign’s full client list:
On Thursday, Laura Loomer reported that Judge Merchan is allowing his daughter’s clients to have unrestricted access inside the Trump trial.
According to Laura Loomer:
JUDGE MERCHAN’S DAUGHTER LOREN MERCHAN’S CLIENTS FROM HER DEMOCRAT POLITICAL CONSULTING FIRM @Authentic_HQ HAVE BEEN GIVEN SEATS INSIDE THE TRUMP TRIAL IN NYC
Judge Merchan is now allowing his daughter’s clients to have unrestricted access inside the Trump Trial. His daughter, Loren Merchan, is a Democrat political consultant.
According to the Authentic Campaigns Website, which Loren Merchan is the President of, the anti-Trump Brennan Center for Justice is a client of Loren Merchan.
Joyce Vance @JoyceWhiteVance is a Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice @BrennanCenter , and she has been inside the Trump trial where she’s been writing articles for the Brennan Center for Justice, which target and harass the members of the jury in the Trump Trial. One day ago, Joyce Vance wrote and published this article titled, “Can We Trust The Jury In Trump’s Manhattan Trial?”
The Brennan Center for Justice hired Loren Merchan to manage their newsletter (See receipts below), which features articles from the Brennan Center for Justice website. Loren Merchan’s clients are now making money off of Loren’s father, and Loren is profiting off of her clients having seats inside the Trump Trial, because per her own website, Loren Merchan has increased the size of the Brennan Center’s newsletter by 204%!
Political email lists are worth MILLIONS of dollars.
Joyce Vance served as the US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama from 2009 to 2017. She was appointed by Barrack Hussein Obama.
ALSO EXCLUSIVE: Additionally, Susan Sachs Goldman, the mother of Democrat New York Congressman Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman is on the Board of Directors for the Brennan Center for Justice. As I previously *exclusively* reported, Rep. Goldman is also a client of Loren Merchan, he prepared @MichaelCohen212 for his testimony in the Trump trial per his admission on MSDNC, and Dan Goldman has sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to the personal home residence of Loren Merchan.
This is arguably jury intimidation in the way that Judge Merchan is having his daughter’s clients, who worked for Obama-Biden’s DOJ, come into the court room to write disparaging articles about the jury, which suggest they can’t make a decision on their own.
Kash Patel did not stop there. He further demanded, “In case you need a jurisdictional hook—Bragg’s office receives federal funds from DOJ to ‘administer justice’—GET ON IT… and while you are at it, subpoena Bragg and get all docs from his Biden WH meetings.”
Patel joined Steve Bannon to discuss this call to action:
On Thursday, Megyn Kelly suggested a reckoning is coming for Biden, Obama, and Clinton after the Trump verdict.
“These Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate. I’m not talking about violence. I’m talking about tit for tat.
You just wait and it won’t be Hunter Biden the next time. It is going to be Joe Biden. It could potentially still be Barack Obama. It could still potentially be Hillary Clinton. We’re going to have to look at what the statutes of limitations are, on the various crimes they surely committed.
We’re going to have to look at passing laws to revive those dead crimes, felonies or misdemeanors so that those cases can be brought out of time. That’s what may be in the interests of justice. Just like they did for E. Jean Carroll with a New York state law that was passed just so that she could sue him.
That’s what happened. Turned about as fair play and John Yoo, an amazing lawyer who worked in the Bush administration, Department of Justice, has a great piece out today how that is the only way they’ll learn. The only way to save the Republic now is to give them a taste of their own medicine.”

Independent presidential candidate, Robert Kennedy, Jr. spoke out against the disgusting Democrat Party show trial and verdicts against President Trump saying, “It’s going to backfire on Democrats!”
Robert Kennedy, Jr. is also a victim of the Democrat Party machine.
Democrats rigged their primary to make it impossible for any candidate to challenge Joe Biden. This is due to their “super-delegate” rule that allows far left elitists to pick the candidate and not the voters.
These undemocratic party rules forced Robert Kennedy, Jr. to run as an independent.
The Biden administration and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas also refused to provide Secret Service protection to Robert Kennedy, Jr. this campaign cycle. This is despite the fact that Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s father and uncle John F. Kennedy were assassinated several years ago.
Robert Kennedy obviously knows about Democrat Party tactics and smash mouth politics.
Robert joined Jesse Watters last night on FOX News.
Robert Kennedy, Jr: I think, Jesse, that it is going to backfire. This conviction is going to backfire on the Democrats. I think every time that President Trump has been indicted, that his approval ratings actually increase, his popularity increases. I think there’s a large number of Americans who are going to see this as the politicization of the weaponization of the enforcement agencies. I think it’s going to hurt. It’s bad for our democracy. I think the Democrats feel like… the DNC, feels like it has a candidate that cannot win fair and square in the polls. And so they have to win in the courts. They have to win by clearing the deck and getting their other opponents out of the race.
I’m not a fan of President Trump’s, but I I want to win. I want to beat him in a campaign on a level of playing field. I want to talk about his issues, about locking down the economy, shutting down 3.3 million businesses, about running up a $34 trillion debt, about engaging us in forever wars and doing favors for Wall Street.
I don’t want to beat him in a courtroom. I think in America, it’s not good for our country.
I told @jessebwatters that I believe the strategy to beat President Trump in the courtroom rather than the ballot box will backfire.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m no fan of Trump’s. I’m running against him because of his record: his lockdowns during Covid, his failure to root out… pic.twitter.com/wknEE0r8T8

J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel needs to get to the emergency room immediately.
Instead, he is perpetually locked in a cell of the New York prison system where inmates including Jefferey Epstein are known to mysteriously kill themselves or beg for medical care, for days before they die.
After languishing for over a month in solitary confinement on the roof of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn, a prison notorious for its horrific conditions, Samsel called The Gateway Pundit in duress on Friday.
“I can’t walk. I’m in so much pain. It’s so fucked up here. My leg is swollen, where I had the blood clot — it’s real stiff, where my ankle is,” Samsel explained on the recorded line at the federal prison. “You can feel there is something in there. When I walk it hurts. I filed a medical grievance and Sam told me he’s going to get me to see a medical doctor.”
For protesting on Jan. 6, 2021, Ryan Samsel is caged in a filthy cell enduring the stench of sewage leaking through the ceiling, the sound of non-stop screaming and fighting among the other inmates who have lost their minds from constant lockdown, being housed on a block with child predators and trannies, starving rather than eating the rotten food he is served — which we now know is infested with maggots — and the uncertainty of whether he’ll survive incarceration without surgery.
The Brooklyn prison is so dangerous federal judges in New York are in a legal battle with the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons over the cruel and unusual treatment ongoing in the notorious correctional facility. Staffers at the Sunset Park federal prison are under fire for depriving inmates of court-ordered medical treatment.
For weeks, the jail has canceled Samsel’s legal calls. But allegedly his attorney Stanley Woodward and mitigation expert Sam Mangel, whom Samsel just paid a whopping $45,000 to retain, were told he canceled their calls.
Samsel’s family tried reaching Woodward numerous times to no avail when Samsel went missing in the hole barred from communication.
Finally, Woodward responded with a text, claiming, “He refused three calls with me this week.”
Now, in a life-or-death medical emergency Woodward, is still M.I.A., out of pocket and out to lunch.
In Woodward’s absence, this reporter found another attorney willing to immediately assist Samsel. Attorney Jon Gross agreed Thursday to file an emergency complaint that would persuade a judge to allow him to go to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Woodward asked Samsel’s family to let him know he must simply “file a medical slip” to see a doctor.
“You know I’ve been scheduling legal calls with him,” the attorney for several high-profile defendants wrote to Samsel’s family in a text after ignoring several of their calls. “The best thing for him to do is submit a medical call slip. Please ask him to do that.”
“If he has not written one today, they will not give him medical today.”
If only it were that easy while incarcerated.
Over time if not treated, the clots become muscular tumors or fibroids. Samsel now lives with golf-ball-sized lumps on his body as he continues to develop more blood clots.
Samsel had already asked guards for help on Monday and submitted a medical slip when he realized bizarre lumps surfaced on the back of his neck. But prison guards have yet to escort him to medical.
“We trusted him in the beginning. Now, he just literally changed his tune. He is not advocating for his own client’s medical treatment,” the concerned family member told TGP in an exclusive interview. “This has been going on for years, went to hearings, and told the judge — nothing got resolved. Stanley is just not doing anything to push things along for him to get medical treatment. It’s like he’s just leaving him in the dust letting him sit there and rot in the jail. Ryan’s life is in his hands at this point. These attorneys would not be called out, if they would just fight. Stanley is not doing his job, advocating for his client’s dire medical conditions.”
Samsel’s family member shot back at Woodward’s inept response, warning “He needs to go to the emergency room and has a blood clot and what are you going to do about it right now?!”
Woodward has yet to respond.
TGP attended Samsel’s Feb. 2 verdict hearing the last time he was in court, when he was found guilty by Judge Jia Cobb. Attorneys representing Samsel’s co-defendants argued on behalf of their client’s presentencing release, asking the judge to allow them to remain free ahead of sentencing in June.
Judge Cobb granted their request, permitting J6 defendants Paul Johnson, Steven Randolph and Jason Blythe to return home after court. Woodard uttered only a few words for the duration of the proceeding.
Samsel asked the judge if he could approach the bench and then plead with her for the 15 minutes she permitted him to speak to “please” authorize him the vascular surgery to safely live through incarceration without blood clots or reliance on blood thinners.
Woodward interrupted Samsel, only to contend, “He can wait until he goes to prison.”
After Woodward refused to answer a dozen of Samsel and TGP’s calls in December, this reporter found another attorney, Brad Geyer, who was willing to file a lawsuit in Samsel’s medical battle with the Bureau of Prisons.
But Woodward refused to avail Samsel’s medical records to Geyer’s team.
Samsel requested that Woodward be removed from his case, but was informed by Judge Cobb that she would not grant his request ahead of his sentencing which was slated for June 13, but postponed to Sept. 3, Samsel’s birthday.
It remains unclear why Woodward, refuses to advocate for the J6 political prisoner’s medical treatment.
Mysteriously, Samsel was transferred from the DC Gulag to the Sunset Park Brooklyn prison in February while awaiting sentencing in the DC court.
J6 defendants regularly complain about inadequate defense counsel, with a limited pool of attorneys willing to take their cases. In February, Samsel pursued representation from Amy Collins to file a complaint for medical treatment. After a discussion with prosecutors, Collins allegedly offered Samsel home detention in exchange for his testimony against President Donald Trump during Trump’s J6 trial.
One defense who asked his name be withheld suggested we file a FOIA request to uncover whether prosecutors are getting bonuses for securing convictions against J6 defendants. Samsel’s family fears Woodward has a backdoor deal with prosecutors as well.
Former criminal defense attorney Jonathon Moseley is assisting the non-profit Condemned USA with drafting litigation for several J6 defendants including the former president.
Condemned USA is also assisting J6 political hostage, Marine Corp veteran Dominic Pezzola with forging a complaint that will allow him treatment for cancer while serving a 10-year-prison sentence in FCI Butner in North Carolina for protesting at the US Capitol on Jan. 6.
Samsel and Pezolla were both detained in a Virginia prison when the FBI offered them plea deals that entailed lying about Proud Boys leader Joseph Biggs having a gun during the Capitol riot. Samsel offered to testify about the nefarious plea offer during the Proud Boys trial, while Pezzola admitted on the stand during the trial that the government told him they would let he would go home if he advanced the fictitious seditious conspiracy narrative, but he refused.
Moseley wonders whether Woodward’s reluctance to get Samsel to a doctor is strategic.
“Maybe, like many attorneys, he thinks if he can just make friends with the prosecutor he’ll get a better deal,” Moseley, told TGP in an exclusive interview. “It’s inadequate to say, ‘Fill out a medical slip’ when Ryan’s movement is restricted. He can’t just wander over to an office and fill out a medical slip, like in high school. He’s locked down.
“There are forms he has to request, that they will ignore, and I assume he’s already done that to the extent that he can. But this is not just a high school campus. It’s a prison. So, somebody on the outside needs to do that,” he continued. “I can only imagine that Stanley doesn’t want to ‘rock the boat’ before sentencing. I have no idea.”
Moseley, a criminal defense attorney for 22 years, was prepared months ago to assist the Geyer with drafting a habeas corpus lawsuit documenting the medical deprivation and how the assaults Samsel has endured while detained have worsened his blood-clotting condition.
“We were going to help make sure something was filed back in December. Stan interfered with it and still hasn’t done anything,” Moseley admonished. “It’s almost June.”
Moseley warns the government has repeatedly assaulted and tortured Samsel to shut him up.
“The assaults on Ryan Samsel are real.” Moseley told previously told TGP. “Ryan Samsel can testify about Ray Epps, so, they have either got to flip him or they’ve got to disappear him.”
Three January 6 defendants have killed themselves while being prosecuted by the United States government for protesting.
Mark Roderick Aungst, a Pennsylvania man who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor related to the Capitol riot, died by suicide while awaiting sentencing for his involvement in the events of that day.

Following Trump’s guilty verdict in his New York City Hush Money Trial, Tucker Carlson wrote on X that Trump’s life could be in danger in the months leading up to the general election.
Tucker wrote on X, “Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump.”
“He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.” added Tucker.

This isn’t the first time Tucker has warned about a possible assassination attempt against Trump.
Last year, during an interview with comedian Adam Carolla, Tucker stated, “If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment, and none of them work. What’s next? Graph it out, man. We’re speeding towards assassination.”

Tucker is absolutely right that assassination is now a very real threat for Trump. He makes the argument simply on the basis of the fact that nothing else, legal or illegal, has worked to stop Trump and Trump’s enemies absolutely cannot afford for him to win.

The post Tucker Carlson: “Trump Will Win the Election if He’s Not Killed First” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
President Trump on Friday delivered remarks at a press conference at Trump Tower, announcing his appeal against the sham verdict in Alvin Bragg’s felony witch hunt case.
There was no crime, but the Democrats ratcheted up what would be a misdemeanor to a felony in order to bypass the statute of limitations, and Marxist Judge Juan Merchan helped to rig the trial for a guilty verdict.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after “highly conflicted” Judge Merchan, whose daughter has received MILLIONS of dollars consulting the Democrats who want to take down Trump, instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that something bad happened, but not on what that something was.
This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
The jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts! Ironically for the Biden Regime, however, the conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges has translated into MORE THAN $34 MILLION fundraised for our real President.
“We’re going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn’t allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn’t allow us to talk. He wouldn’t allow us to do anything,” said Trump during his press conference.
Trump is expected to appeal Merchan’s ruling to greatly restrict the testimony of Trump’s star witness, former FEC Commissioner Bradley Smith, who would have exalted Trump of any alleged, bogus, fake crime.
“He was waiting for two days, and when it was his turn, Bragg’s people protested, and the judge knocked him out and said you can’t testify. He actually said you can’t testify for anything having to do with the trial; you can say what the federal elections is. Well, that doesn’t help. Everybody knows that. But you can’t testify,” said Trump at one point during his press conference today.
Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) recently told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview, “It’s almost as though he has intentionally committed the most egregious reversible error, knowing that if there is a conviction, it will be reversed on appeal. But in the meantime, prior to the election, the Democrats can claim that Donald Trump is a convicted felon. That’s what this is about.”
Trump's sentencing hearing was set for July 11, THREE DAYS before the Republican National Convention, where delegates will choose the GOP nominee for President. The motives of the prosecutors and the judge couldn't be clearer.
Trump slammed the judge as a "tyrant" and said any honest members of the media in the courthouse could see he was "crazed" and angry with Trump in making his many reversible errors.
Watch below:
Trump: We're going to be appealing this scam. We're going to be appealing it on many different things. He wouldn't allow us to have witnesses. He wouldn't allow us to talk. He wouldn't allow us to do anything. The judge was a tyrant, and you got to see that with Bob Costello, a fine man. I've never seen anything like it, and neither has anybody that was in that courthouse where he demanded that the courthouse be cleared. Now, the good news is, most of the people in the courthouse were the media. And anybody that was in the media, if you're fair, you'll say, “Wow, that was anger. That was crazed. He was crazed!”

The post THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING: First It’s Lawfare – Is A Pandemic Next? appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
By Wayne Allyn Root
Remember what the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto said after his airmen had destroyed Pearl Harbor and sent over 3,000 young Americans to their death in a sneak attack. His men cheered their resounding victory. But he solemnly stated, “I fear we have awakened the sleeping giant.”
Like Pearl Harbor, yesterday was a day that will live in infamy. And Democrats have awakened the sleeping giant.
First, there is no question Democrats will regret this day. They’ve crossed a line that has never been crossed in the history of America. They’ve touched “the third rail.” They’ve destroyed the justice system and “the rule of law.” They’ve turned America into a combination of a Banana Republic, the Soviet Gulag and 1930s Nazi Germany.
If you can’t beat your opponent, indict him on false charges, rig the judge and jury, put on a “communist show trial,” and convict him to destroy his life, reputation and presidential campaign.
But as usual, this weaponization of government and unAmerican lawfare has backfired on Democrats.
With each of the four rigged indictments, they turned Trump into a martyr. They actually made Trump “sympathetic” for the first time. Now with this rigged conviction, they’ve moved into new territory…
Democrats have turned Trump into “America’s Nelson Mandela.”
Mandela spent many years locked up in prison. But in the end, he became a beloved legend, and the President of South Africa. The people of South Africa decided enough was enough. They saw the injustice of their government, and they chose the victim of this unjust, weaponized system to lead the country and reform the system.
The parallels between Trump and Mandela are astounding.
Trump, like Mandela, is a victim of an unjust system- in Trump’s case a weaponized government and a corrupt justice system that has railroaded him. Like Mandela, the victim of this very system (Trump) is the one best equipped to become President, and then clean up the crimes and corruption of the Deep State.
I believe Trump can use this conviction to win not only a landslide, but a mandate from the American people. A mandate to clean up the system, put the evil wrongdoers in prison for treason, and make sure this sad chapter in our history never happens again.
Democrats in their desperation to stop Trump, have made a massive miscalculation. The proof was seen and experienced not just yesterday, but in the past few weeks.
Yesterday, after the verdict, Trump’s campaign fundraising site WinRed.com crashed because millions of Americans went there to donate and show their support for Trump.
For the day WinRed raised $34.8 million- nearly doubling the all-time 24 hour record.
On the same day, one donor gave $800,000 to one of Trump’s campaign fundraising committees.
On the same day, former Hillary Clinton mega-donor Shaun Maguire contributed $300,000 to President Trump.
Yes, from small donors to mega donors, the guilty verdict has turned even Trump critics and fence-sitters into Trump supporters.
But if you’ve been paying attention, this remarkable trend started weeks ago.
The biggest names on Wall Street and Silicon Valley- always liberal, and mostly Jewish- have publicly announced they are for the first time ever, throwing their money and support to Trump and the GOP.
Steven Schwarzman, the CEO of Blackstone announced his support of Trump and the entire GOP Senate. I’d call that a political tsunami.
A Silicon Valley CEO who gave millions to Hillary announced he is now giving $1 million to Trump.
Most of these formerly Democrat donors cited the horrible job Biden is doing for the country and the economy. They all stated they’re scared of the direction of America.
Many also cited the disgusting and disgraceful leftist protests on college campuses. The wealthy class is waking up. They finally understand all of this must end now- the demonization of Jews; the chants of “Death to America;” the open border welcoming Hamas and Hezbollah sympathizers into America; the weaponization of the justice system; and the communist direction of America under Democrats.
Democrats have awakened the sleeping giant.
I believe this rigged trial and now absurd conviction for a crime no one (including the judge or prosecutors) can identify, have finally unmasked the Democrats for the frauds they are. For years now they’ve called Trump a “dictator.” Biden even called Trump a “dictator” in his comments after the conviction yesterday.
But after this rigged trial and fake conviction, smart Americans finally see who the real dictator is. Could a dictator be convicted in a “communist show trial?”
Could anyone falsely indict, arrest and convict a dictator like Putin in Russia? Or Xi Jinping in China? Of course not. They’d have anyone involved in even trying to indict them, instantly executed (without trial).
So how is Trump a dictator? It’s the people who have railroaded him that are the real dictators!
If Trump was a dictator, would he have accepted a rigged and stolen election? Would he have walked away from the presidency?
Would a dictator lose an election in the first place? Of course not. If Trump was a dictator, he’s the one who would have won a rigged election.
It’s the people who won the rigged election who are the real dictators!
When Trump was president, did he use the power of government to arrest political opponents, or to censor and ban critics of his policies? No.
Did he control the media and use them to put out his propaganda and call the truth “misinformation?” No.
Did Trump arrest protestors and put them in prison, without bail, and into solitary confinement for years on end, without trial? Of course not.
The people calling Trump a “dictator” just framed him and convicted him for a crime no one can identify.
Those are all actions committed by President Biden. So, who’s the real dictator? Biden should look in the mirror.
The dictators are the ones who spend all day demonizing Trump, arresting their political opponents, banning critics, censoring opinions on social media, force vaccinating Americans against their will, committing election interference with rigged trials, and opening the border to change the makeup of the electorate so they can stay in power forever.
The truth is out of the bag. The sleeping giant has awakened. We now know who the real dictator is.
And Democrats have just turned Trump into America’s Nelson Mandela.

President Trump held a press conference this morning at Trump Tower Atrium to speak on his political persecution by radical left Biden Thugs in the Manhattan Court House.
Trump announced the presser on Truth Social on Thursday after the unprecedented guilty verdicts were announced at the Judge Juan Merchan show trial.
President Donald Trump: This should have been a non-case. And everybody said it was a non-case, including Bragg. Bragg said, Until I ran for office. And then they saw the polls, I was leading the Republicans, I was leading the Democrats, I was leading everybody. And all of a sudden, they brought it back. It’s a very sad thing that’s happening in our country, and… I’m honored. In a way, I’m honored. It’s not that it’s pleasant. It’s very bad for family. It’s very bad for friends and businesses. But I’m honored to be involved in it because somebody has to do it, and I might as well keep going and be the one.
But I’m very honored to be involved because we’re fighting for our Constitution. The money that was paid was paid legally. There was nothing illegal. In fact, the lawyer in creating the NDA, because at that time, he was a fully accredited lawyer. He wasn’t a fixer. I never thought of him as a fixer. The media called him a fixer or the prosecutors called him a fixer. He was a lawyer.

The post Celebrities and Athletes Flood Social Media With Posts Supporting Trump Following Guilty Verdict appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel is pleading for assistance from prison guards, his attorney, and the American public to get to an emergency room immediately after strange lumps surfaced on the back of his neck while the blood clots in his leg and foot that he developed months ago remain dangerously untreated.
The new lumps may be malignant tumors or blood clots, but getting to a doctor or the life-saving surgery he was prescribed over three years ago, before his arrest for protesting at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, is an ongoing and uphill battle.
If Samsel suffers a medical emergency, it could take hours or days before anyone even notices while detained in perpetual lockdown in MDC Brooklyn, the jail system where Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself, and inmates are known to die while begging for help from lazy, abusive prison staff.
And he suspects the notorious medical negligence within the understaffed correctional facility is exactly why the prosecutors and US District Judge Jia Cobb transferred him to the dangerous prison, “to set him up” to die or endure assaults while living on blood thinners.
“I’m on the eighth floor in a high-rise building in the back corner cell and literally in a corner and there is no call button. If I get sick, I might not see a CO for a full day. It’s dangerous here. It’s literally dangerous,” Samsel told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview Wednesday.“ This place is as harsh as where Jeffrey Epstein died.
“They should not put this many inmates in the prison because they are understaffed, and we are constantly locked down. Judge Cobb knew how bad the conditions were in this jail a year and a half ago when she first sent me here.”
The 40-year-old former MMA fighter has a history of bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition that causes him to develop blood clots. Over time if not treated, the clots become muscular tumors or fibroids. Samsel now lives with golf-ball-sized lumps on his body as he continues to develop more mysterious tumors.
A glandsectomy, a simple vascular procedure, would prevent his blood from clotting and save his life. But Judge Cobb refuses to grant him the surgery and his attorney Stanley Woodward refuses to fight for his medical rights.
“The plastic surgeon said, ‘You need a glandsectomy and we need a biopsy,’ before you start to get more lumps. Today, I have four more lumps, like he said I would. Judge Cobb and the prosecutor are the ones who recommended that I come to MDC Brooklyn, that ‘The medical here is good.’
“The prosecutors and the judge sent me to New York to set me up.”
“No human being should have to go through this. Where is Jim Jordan? How can Jim Jordan sit there and totally ignore what is happening to me? MTG promised she was going to do something. What is she doing? I need help! I got new lumps in my neck.”
Samsel called attention to the ongoing dispute between federal judges and the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons over the abuse of inmates detained in the dilapidated Brooklyn prison.
“The medical staff here have lied to the judges,” he explained. “The judges here in New York, because the conditions are so horrible, the inmates here are [serving] three days for every one day spent in jail. And they really are violent offenders, some of them. If that’s the case, we all should go home.”
New York judges are indeed cutting down the sentences of inmates detained in MDC Brooklyn for being served maggot-infested meals amid illegal perpetual lockdowns, lack of proper medical treatment by cruel correction officers, short-staffing and a host of other miserable conditions that have gone unchecked for decades.
The corruption in MDC Brooklyn most recently boiled over in January when Manhattan Federal Court Judge Jesse Furman issued a blistering 19-page ruling laying out why the Brooklyn prison, which handles pre-trial detention for the Manhattan and Brooklyn federal courts, should shut down, particularly after the jail lost power for eight days in 2019 during a polar vortex.
“It has gotten to the point that it is routine for judges in both this District and the Eastern District [Brooklyn] to give reduced sentences to defendants based on the conditions of confinement in the MDC,” Furman wrote. “Prosecutors no longer even put up a fight, let alone dispute that the state of affairs is unacceptable.”
“When I ask my lawyers, what about me, they say, ‘Judge Cobb is not going to do that. She disagrees with these judges,'” Samsel continued. “How is that not selective prosecution? How come these guys get the medical? How come one guy got $120,000 for his stitches being left in too long? I don’t know what to do. Judge Cobb, I wrote her. I’ve sent her everything and she does nothing.”
Samsel said he spoke with Furman last week as the federal judge inspected the prison. Furman reportedly notified Judge Cobb about the detriments of the deplorable conditions of the jail. Evidently, Cobb couldn’t care less.
“Judge Cobb told him to stop reaching out to other judges,” Samsel said. “Now, I haven’t gotten any medical. They just gave me Statin, for blood vessels. It took them 3 years to do that. I want a status hearing and I want that status hearing to be public. We are tired of being treated like this. This is not fair.”
Throughout 40 months of incarceration in pretrial detention, Samsel has been transferred to 19 different correctional facilities 26 times. When he finally gets to a doctor in jail, they prescribe him surgery. Then he is transferred to another jail and never sees his way to the operating table.
In April, hours after TGP published Ray Epps’ interviews with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in which the suspected government plant is repeatedly heard lying to authorities in violation of federal law, prison guards dragged J6 political hostage Ryan Samsel’ to solitary confinement.
Samsel was detained in the hole, a small cage on the rooftop of the dilapidated MDC Brooklyn prison, for weeks. Prison guards finally released Samsel back to the general population of the prison on May 18. This time, they housed him in a unit with convicted child sex offenders and trannies.
“I don’t care. If I have to lay my life down for people to know the truth, then I will,” Samsel said. “No human being — you’re never going to change the crime rate on the outside if you treat people like this. There is no reform. It’s sad. You have to reform people physically, mentally, and spiritually. You can’t bring people in here and break them.”
The J6 political prisoner is now barred from visitation for a year and prohibited from purchasing a commissary.
And he might as well starve than eat the rotten food that is regularly served in the New York prison. The general population of the federal prison is almost as bad as the hole. Inmates are perpetually locked in their cells for days and even weeks at a time, where dirty water from the toilets above leaks from the ceilings.
Defense lawyers have confirmed MDC Brooklyn is serving maggot-infested food to inmates.
“We actually get maggots here. There are maggots in our food,” Samsel said. That dust that you see on the air vent — there was a tuberculosis outbreak and they never cleaned the air vents. There are people that die here, constantly, I swear to God. There is no emergency call button. You are literally locked in a cell here, with thousands of people, and left in a room.”
“I’m not allowed to get visits for a whole year. I’m not allowed commissary. And they still haven’t given me medical. I wish that people would come here and help stand up for me.”
Last week, Samsel sent TGP photographs an investigator obtained from inside MDC Brooklyn, showcasing the unsanitary conditions of the correctional facility and the barf-inducing, rotten trays of food inmates are regularly served.
TGP has tried reaching Woodward numerous times about the status of Samsel’s health. Woodward has yet to respond.
Samsel warns prison guards have been canceling his legal calls, but Woodward and mitigation expert Sam Mangel, whom Samsel just invested $45,000 to retain, contend to Samsel’s family they have been repeatedly told by the prison that Samsel has canceled the calls.
Samsel was scheduled to be sentenced on June 13, but Judge Cobb postponed his sentencing to Sept. 3, on Samsel’s birthday.
Judge Cobb “is such a nasty person to me, she purposely set my sentencing to my birthday,” he noted.
Last year, when Samsel was detained in a Philadelphia jail, a doctor issued are report to the government outlining Samsel’s immediate need for surgery. The jail staff locked then him in the broom closet, which they substituted for a “hard cell,” for over five months with the light on. Correctional officers also forced him to use a bucket for a toilet to prevent him from communicating and “fishing” through the toilet for food.
“Instead of giving me physical rehab, I sat in a broom closet. Congress has yet to do anything about it. I don’t know why they are not investigating my assaults,” he said.
Samsel rendered aid to Josh Black, another demonstrator who was shot in the face by cops at the J6 Save America rally.
Police attempted to arrest Black as Samsel attempted to provide him aid, but Samsel fended the cops away.
The cops then fired another munition that ignited inches away from Samsel’s face.
For shielding Black from the cops, federal district Judge Jia Cobb convicted Samsel of felony assault.
Judges are treating hardened criminals more humanely than J6 protesters.
On May 22, Brooklyn Federal Court Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall scolded a Bureau of Prison attorney who “lied” about whether MDC inmate Jonathan Goulbourne received his antibiotic regimen. Goulbourne’s appendix burst on April 14, and jail staff ignored him for more than several hours before sending him to the hospital. Hall is demanding the MDC staffers get private defense attorneys to replace their DOJ lawyers who shield them from criminal exposure.
Goulbourne, who is charged with causing death through the use of firearms in connection with a murder, “returned to the hospital with prescriptions for painkillers and antibiotics, but a weekend lockdown and a problem with a missing ID cut him off from his painkillers,” New York Daily News reports. “After the lockdown ended, Goulbourne was thrown into the jail’s segregated housing unit after an encounter with a nurse and lost access to the last few doses of his antibiotic regimen.”
In December, Brooklyn Federal Court Judge Dora Irizarry threatened to hold an assistant US attorney in contempt for ignoring her order to send MDC Brooklyn detainee James Young to a medical facility. Instead, they housed Young, accused in a string of gunpoint store robberies, among the general population despite open wounds and a highly contagious MRSA infection and forced by prison staff to wear a yellow jumpsuit to signify infection.
Samsel has been repeatedly assaulted for refusing to cooperate with the government in a plea deal that entailed lying about Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs having a gun at the Capitol riot and testifying against former President Donald Trump. The assaults have left him with lifelong injuries including a broken jaw and brain damage that has resulted in the loss of vision in his right eye.
“I refused to turn on the Proud Boys. I refused to turn on Donald Trump. I stood my ground. I went to trial. I didn’t take a plea deal. I ask the public to stand for me, when I need you,” he said. “I need help. If there is an organization at this point that can help me, please help.”

Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has officially left the Democratic Party, announcing his departure just one day after the controversial guilty verdict in former President Donald Trump’s trial.
On Friday, Manchin, who is not seeking re-election, announced that he changed his party affiliation at the West Virginia State Capitol.
He explained that his decision was motivated by his criticism of both major parties for what he sees as “partisan extremism,” which he believes is harmful to American democracy.
“From my first day in public service in 1982, I have always focused on doing what’s best for my state and my country, without regard to party or politics. Throughout my days in elected office, I have always been proud of my commitment to common sense, bipartisanship and my desire to bring people together. It’s who I am. It’s who I will always be. I have never seen America through a partisan lens,” Manchin said in a statement.
“However, since becoming a United States Senator in 2010, I have seen both the Democrat and Republican parties leave West Virginia and our country behind for partisan extremism while jeopardizing our democracy. Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground. To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority,” he added.
Manchin then shared a post on X showing himself registering as an independent.
“My commitment to do everything I can to bring our country together has led me to register as an independent with no party affiliation,” the senator wrote on X.

— Senator Joe Manchin (@Sen_JoeManchin) May 31, 2024
In 2022, after Arizona Senator Sinema changed her registration from Democrat to Independent, people were asking West Virginia Senator Manchin if he’d do the same.
“I’m not a Washington Democrat. I don’t know what else to tell you. … And if a Washington independent is — we’ll see what happens there. We’ll have to look. People are registering more for independent than any other party affiliation, they are sick and tired of it,” Manchin said at the time.
Although Manchin announced his departure from the Democratic Party, he said he would neither seek re-election to the Senate nor pursue a presidential bid.
“After months of deliberation and long conversations with my family, I believe in my heart of hearts that I have accomplished what I set out to do for West Virginia. I have made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that I will not be running for re-election to the United States Senate,” Manchin said in a statement last year.
“But what I will be doing is traveling the country and speaking out to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together.”

CNN Pundit Scott Jennings warned Democrats on how their perversion of the legal system and latest lawfare case against Donald Trump will massively backfire on the neo-Marxist elites.
Scott Jennings: Well, if my phone and the text messages I’m receiving or any indication, every Republican in the country is madder than a wet hen. I mean, people who are decidedly non-MAGA, not Trump fans, are blowing up tonight saying, ‘This case never should have been brought… This is ridiculous charges… It was egregious use of the criminal justice system.”
I’m hearing people say, I had no intention of voting for Donald Trump, and now I am. Then if you ask the Trump campaign what’s happening, they literally broke their online donation portal because people were rushing to the internet to give them money in the minutes after the verdict… I think there’s a real chance here. It’s going to massively backfire on the Democrats and help Donald.
Scott is right!
For the record – the disgusting woman on the right is Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former Trump official who sold her soul for 30 pieces of silver and now sits with the clucks on The View everyday.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is no stranger to the Biden Regime’s lawfare and civil lawsuits to prevent Texas from securing the southern border, issued a statement yesterday condemning the Regime’s “third-world dictatorship” persecution of Donald Trump and vowing to “unleash every tool at my disposal to fight this blatant corruption and political persecution spewing from New York and the Biden administration.”
Trump was found guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels in what is widely regarded as a rigged process.
“The corrupt Biden administration, an unhinged Judge and the deceitful Manhattan District Attorney and the New York Attorney General have conspired in a grotesque abuse of power, revealing their true agenda: to destroy our democracy and the Republic for which it stands,” said Paxton.
America’s political landscape was rocked by this attack on our freedoms last night.
We currently live in a country where elections are rigged, you can be sued or charged with a crime for questioning a rigged election, and the regime is convicting opposition leaders on bogus charges.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, in a united front, several Republican figures and lawmakers released strongly-worded comments to express their outrage and affirm their support for Trump.
If your GOP politicians have not yet issued a scathing rebuke of the rigged justice system and attempt to take down the leading candidate for President, you should reconsider your vote for them next election.
Elon Musk also tweeted his condemnation of the verdict, calling the charges “motivated by politics” that caused “great damage” to America’s legal system to his over 185 million followers on the X platform.
Elon Musk Slams Trump’s Rigged Show Trial, Says ‘Great Damage’ Done to America’s Legal System
The statement from Ken Paxton reads,
Today is a dark and shameful day in American history. The corrupt Biden administration, an unhinged Judge and the deceitful Manhattan District Attorney and the New York Attorney General have conspired in a grotesque abuse of power, revealing their true agenda: to destroy our democracy and the Republic for which it stands. These cowardly, spineless political hacks have turned our justice system into a weapon, something you would expect in a third-world dictatorship, not the land of the free.
From the beginning of this sham trial, I stood by President Trump, and my support for him is stronger than ever. As Attorney General of Texas, I will unleash every tool at my disposal to fight this blatant corruption and political persecution spewing from New York and the Biden administration.
This verdict is an outright assault not only on President Trump but on every American who believes in justice and the rule of law. This is a battle of good versus evil and let me be clear: the political elite may think they’ve won this battle, but President Trump and the unstoppable MAGA movement will win the war.
America will never be the same after today, but we will fight back harder than ever for the values and freedoms that define our nation. The American people know President Trump is innocent, and together, we will stand by him and prevail,” said Paxton.

On Tuesday, the Biden campaign rolled out actor Robert De Niro for an unhinged rant outside the courthouse during the lawfare trial against President Trump.
It didn’t go well.
The presser devolved into chaos as De Niro insulted millions of hardworking Americans, and he was mercilessly heckled as he called Trump supporters “clowns” and engaged in shouting matches with fed-up Americans.
Now, The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has announced that it is withdrawing the NAB Leadership Foundation’s Service to America Award De Niro was set to receive in Washington, D.C., on June 4th.
Alex Siciliano, NAB’s senior vice president of communications, said in a statement to The Hill, “This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners.”
“While we strongly support the right of every American to exercise free speech and participate in civic engagement, it is clear that Mr. De Niro’s recent high-profile activities will create a distraction from the philanthropic work that we were hoping to recognize. To maintain the focus on service of the award winners, Mr. De Niro will no longer be attending the event.”
De Niro told The Hill in a statement, “I support the work of the NAB Leadership Foundation and would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for what the Foundation has done and will continue to do for the good of us all, and I wish them well for their continued good work.”
Artist Scott LoBaido captured De Niro perfectly.

Ironically for the Biden Regime, the May 30, 2024 conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges has translated into MORE THAN $34 MILLION fundraised for the next President.
You can donate to President Trump’s campaign HERE!
Despite Joe Biden’s crippling inflation, Americans are giving whatever they can to save this country!
In what has been widely denounced as a show trial, Trump was found guilty on Wednesday evening on all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
As The Gateway Pundit reported last night, following the verdict and within minutes, President Trump’s donation page CRASHED from the massive influx of support as patriots stood up to the Biden Regime’s anti-American persecution of the opposition leader. The Biden campaign released a disgusting statement following this shameless assault on the former President, labeling Donald Trump a “dictator,” lecturing that “no one is above the law,” and fundraising off of their desecration of American values.
President Trump will likely comment on the massive fundraising haul and America’s rejection of the junk charges during his press conference this morning. TUNE IN LIVE AT 11 AM ET HERE:
Per Trump War Room, "Today, the Trump campaign announced a record-shattering small-dollar fundraising haul following the sham Biden Trial verdict totaling $34.8 million – nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform."

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan, whose daughter has received MILLIONS of dollars consulting the Democrats who want to take down Trump, instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed. Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree that something bad happened, but not on what that something is. This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
So now we have a convicted US President with 34 felony counts, and NO ONE knows what crime President Trump committed!
The Trump campaign released the following statement announcing the massive patriotism and support:
Trump Shatters Fundraising Records After Rigged Biden Trial Verdict
May 31, 2024
Today, the Trump campaign announced a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul following the sham Biden Trial verdict totaling $34.8 million – nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform. Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats with their election interference political witch hunt have awakened the MAGA movement like never before.
"From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic, President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small dollar donors. Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday's donor's were brand new donors to the WinRed platform. President Trump and our campaign are immensely grateful from this outpouring of support from patriots across our country. President Trump is fighting to save our nation and November 5th is the day Americans will deliver the real verdict." - Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, Trump Campaign Senior Advisors

President Trump will hold a press conference this morning at 11 am ET at the Trump Tower Atrium to speak out on his political persecution by radical left Biden Thugs in the Manhattan Court House.
Trump announced the presser on Truth on Thursday after the guilty verdict came in.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts! The sentencing was set for July 11.
“I’m a political prisoner!” Trump said after the verdict in his rigged trial with far-left jurors, a far-left conflicted Judge, and politically motivated prosecutors was announced.

After deliberating for several hours on Thursday, the jury returned a guilty verdict after the judge rigged the trial by allowing jurors to choose which crime they believed Trump committed.
Trump is facing four years in prison for every count. Biden and his thugs will do whatever it takes to keep Trump out of the White House for four more years.

It turns out that the Joe Biden administration from hell has authorized the Ukrainians to use US-provided long-range missiles to hit ‘some’ targets inside Russia – reportedly in Belgorod, near the frontline of the Kharkov region.
This may or may not mend the relationship with president Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been saying to whomever listen that US-Ukraine relations have drifted farther apart than ever since the war started.
Besides that, the US is also close to signing a new bilateral security pact with Ukraine – expected to be signed on the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Italy next month.
Zelensky’s frustration with Joe Biden was displayed for the world to see this week, as he rebuked old Joe in ‘unusually blunt terms’.
The Ukrainian said that Biden attending a Democratic fundraiser rather than Ukraine’s peace summit on June 15-16 was ‘not a strong decision’.
Read more:
In fact, Zelensky’s office has just issued a controversial memo to officials and MPs, instructing them to criticize both Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping for not attending the summit.
The delay in US military assistance is just the tip of the iceberg, with the NATO membership bid, for example, possibly as much as 30 years away (according to Germany's Olaf Scholz).
The Biden administration’s is also angered by Ukraine’s drone and missile strikes on Russian oil refineries and radars that form part of Moscow’s nuclear early warning system.
Financial Times reported:
"But a second senior Ukrainian official said Zelensky has grown more 'emotional and nervous' over the situation on the battlefield and what they say the president sees as Washington’s eagerness to start negotiations with Russia, despite the White House stating in public that it is entirely a decision for Kiev to initiate such talks.
Zelensky 'thinks they want the war to go away before the [US] election', the official said. He added that the Ukrainian president was also unhappy with the Biden administration’s insistence that Kiev not hit Russian oil infrastructure over fears of raising global gas prices in an election year.
A third senior Ukrainian official used the word 'paranoia' to describe the feeling inside the presidential office in recent months, as Zelensky and his team have worked to prepare for next month’s peace summit. “Zelensky has deep anxiety about the military situation but especially about the peace summit in June,” the official said."
Representatives from more than 80 countries have confirmed their attendance - but China has now confirmed that it will not participate because Russia will not be present.
"Several members of Zelensky’s own government said they are beginning to worry about the methods employed by their president to communicate with the US. One said that Zelensky was “very irritated” with Biden, adding they were concerned about “openly provoking” the White House.
'What do you say in America?' a fourth Ukrainian government official asked the FT. 'Do not bite the hand that feeds you'.”

The days of Megyn Kelly’s feuds with Donald Trump are well and truly over.
In what has been widely denounced as a show trial, Trump was found guilty on Wednesday evening on all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.
In an epic rant on her eponymous talk show, Kelly laid into the verdict and warned that Republicans must target Democrats such as Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in order to seek retribution.
Here is a transcript of her remarks:
It is a before-and-after moment for America. What just happened today is a line we can’t uncross. And these Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate. I’m not talking about violence. I’m talking about tit for tat.
You just wait and it won’t be Hunter Biden the next time. It is going to be Joe Biden. It could potentially still be Barack Obama. It could still potentially be Hillary Clinton. We’re going to have to look at what the statutes of limitations are, on the various crimes they surely committed.
We’re going to have to look at passing laws to revive those dead crimes, felonies or misdemeanors so that those cases can be brought out of time. That’s what may be in the interests of justice. Just like they did for E. Jean Carroll with a New York state law that was passed just so that she could sue him.
That’s what happened. Turned about as fair play and John Yoo, an amazing lawyer who worked in the Bush administration, Department of Justice, has a great piece out today how that is the only way they’ll learn. The only way to save the Republic now is to give them a taste of their own medicine.
Megyn Kelly calls for retribution and revenge.

Rep. Mike Belcher, a New Hampshire state representative and self-described “anti-communist revolutionary” announced his Anti-Communism Education Act following the Biden regime’s unAmerican show trial and felony verdicts against President Trump.
Rep. Mike Belcher will introduce the legislation in New Hampshire. He is asking fellow Republicans to use his legislation as a model in their states.
Belcher also made it known that he is not suicidal in case something bad happens to him.
Rep. Belcher originally introduced the legislation in January. Now he is urging Republicans to push similar legislation in their states.
At one time this legislation would have had the approval of all Americans. Not today. Look how far the Marxists have come!
Mike posted this tweet on Thursday following the Trump show trial in New York City.
I am not at all suicidal.
This one is going to cause trouble.Here is my updated Anti-Communism Education Act.
I will introduce it here in NH shortly. Please consider using it as model legislation – ask your representative to introduce in your state.
Enjoy.…
— Mike Belcher (@MikeBelcher14) August 21, 2023
Here is the text of his anti-Communism legislation.
Anti-Communism Education Act (ACE Act)
This act shall be known as the “Anti-Communism Education Act.”
Purpose:
The legislature finds that a comprehensive education on the true history of the praxis and worldview of Communism, the way it evolved, how it hides itself as other ideologies, or as non-ideological, by manipulating language and definitions, how to recognize and identify Communism, why it represents an unmitigated and irredeemable evil in direct conflict with all values outlined in the NH and US Constitutions, and how to effectively combat Communism politically is a critical need for New Hampshire citizens.
This mandate falls wholly within the context of an adequate education, is consistent with Constitutional requirements on education as “being essential to the preservation of a free government,” “the duty of legislators to cherish the interests of literature and the sciences, and all seminaries and public schools, to encourage public and private institutions… and the countenance and inculcate the principles of humanity and general benevolence, public and private charity, industry and economy, honesty and punctuality, sincerity, sobriety, and all social affections, and generous sentiments, among the people.” Communism touches and perverts all of these values to the detriment of the liberties and happiness of the citizenry.
Over time this knowledge has nearly been lost to history, and a false narrative of our heritage has emerged to replace it in order to subjugate Americans under miseducation and misinformation. The battle against Communism does not merely represent a distant memory of our forefathers carrying rifles in faraway lands. The battle is here, today and every day, and must be won perpetually, as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, victim of Stalin and author of The Gulag Archipelago said, “the line separating good and evil… passes through every human heart” – every generation must make this a facet of their existence or succumb to this parasitic ideology.
Communism is not an economic theory, as misunderstanding and purposeful obfuscation has led many to believe, but an all-encompassing worldview and dangerous disposition towards destruction. This disposition is an ever-present facet of human nature. Perpetual ideological combat against the doctrines of Communism is the only way we may succeed in keeping this republic.
Rule-Making Authority Granted
DOE to adopt rules to ensure the development and/or acquisition, and delivery, of the following curriculum. Appropriations may be made from the education trust fund as necessary to develop and/or acquire curriculum, oversee and track delivery, and any other necessary task to ensure delivery to NH students. It is the expectation of the legislature that most of the individual prescribed requirements may be met in one to several days of instruction.
Middle School Mandatory Curriculum
Course of study on the connection between “Capitalism,” “Socialism” and “Communism” including the following:
· “Communism” and “Socialism” are all part of the same ideology and a person who is a “Communist” is also, necessarily, a “Socialist.” “Socialism” was Marx’s prophesied Stage 5 of “Scientific” History wherein the government must force people to be the same and equal until, according to the theory, it becomes human nature. Once it becomes human nature, and “Socialist Man” is achieved, Stage 6 of History, “Communism,” has been achieved. Communism cannot be achieved, though, because it is a cult prophesy that goes against nature.
· “Capitalism” is what Socialists called Stage 4 of History, which they wrongly believe will naturally undergo revolution into Socialism. “Capitalism” is a caricature of free market economics, but due to confusion was adopted widely by free-market champions as a synonym, though it is not.
· Study will review the theorized 6 stages of history as described by Marx with a particular emphasis on the “revolution” necessary between stages 4 and 5, and the use of violent coercive State force in stage 5, including historical precedents such as the Kulaks.
Course of study on the Book/Essay: Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power: Josef Pieper (omitting the Christian theological roughly second half of essay) including:
· Philosophy of communication vs. deception and creation of “pseudorealities” through misinformation – relate to book/move “The Matrix” as a metaphor for a “pseudoreality.” Specifically that false information conveyed not to inform the hearer, but to confuse or control them, is dangerous, and shifts the perspective of the hearer away from reality such that reality slowly becomes incomprehensible.
Course of study on the book Animal Farm, George Orwell, including:
On the nature of Communism and “equity” as forcing “sameness” through violence and threat,” on the tendency for people to experience normalcy bias ignoring warning signs of dangerous Communist political movements until it’s too late, and the use of censorship and terms such as “conspiracy theory” to delegitimize people and ideas that may be true and honest.
Course of study on the updated and corrected history of Soviet and FBI archives of Project Venona, including:
· The “Red Scare,” Venona documents, and Bella Dodd testimony that largely vindicated Senator McCarthy, and laid bare the broad scope of Communist infiltration of the US government and institutions, and the FDR administration. Further, that the history of “McCarthyism” as a “witch hunt” was a Communist-and-sympathizer driven disinformation operation aimed to discredit the Senator, and the anti-Communism movement broadly, and to stymie the attempt to root out Communists in powerful positions.
Course of study on selected readings from Gramci, including:
The Prison Notebooks on “war of position,” or institutional capture via counter-hegemony, and gradual institutional takeover of the “long march” to affect Communist revolution.
Course of study on the Chinese Cultural Revolution, including:
· Communist radicalized students rose up to demand revolution and attacked adults with state sanction, including family. The five reds and five black categories of “oppressor” or “oppressed” of the cultural revolution, the efforts to destroy all existing culture, and the millions killed by mobs, and social struggle sessions shall be included.
Course of study on the book Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism by Robert Jay Lifton, including:
· Selected readings from the book focusing on the tendency for the psychologically abused to blame themselves, the Communist application of the psychological abuse principle known as DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), and summary of the book in audio format by Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses Podcast.
Course of study on the Institute for Social Research (Frankfurt School), including:
The advent of neo-Marxism as a retooled Communist ideology after Marx’s failed prophesy of proletariat uprisings.
· Herbert Marcuse, the concepts of “critical consciousness,” and “repressive tolerance,” the transition of pseudo-economic Marxism to identity-based Marxism, and the targeting of black Americans by the Communist International (ComIntern) and Frankfurt School to stoke racial hatred and black separatism – including Soviet plans for a separatist ethnonationalist black “Socialist republic” in southeast America to be overseen by Soviet apparatchiks.
Course of study on the historical transition from the “Science” of alchemy to modern scientific methodologies, including:
· That the principles of modern science as falsifiability, reproducibility, and testing of theorems run contrary to Alchemy as being primarily about a predetermined (prophesied) outcome, and making human understanding fit within that frame.
· Emphasis on the nature of Hermetic Alchemy and associated metaphysics, and efforts to corrupt modern science with alchemy (smuggling metaphysics as “science,” science is a too, not something you “believe in”).
High School Mandatory Curriculum
Freshman year course of study on defected Soviet KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov, including:
· The Soviet program of “demoralization,” the concept of rendering people without discernment and intellectual defenses, and the concept of Mass Formation Psychosis.

· Planned Parenthood founded as an anti-black eugenics organization by New Age eugenicist and racist Margaret Sanger, who believed blacks to be a lesser race unable to contribute towards achieving the Age of Aquarius.
· Overview of the false historical allegations that “Jews” are behind Marxism or Communism, that disposition towards Communist ideology is a human universal, as all people experience the oppression of nature and are therefore vulnerable, and that the Marxist cult beliefs parasitized sects of Judaism like it does all other belief systems.
Sophomore year course of study reviewing selected readings from the book The Critical Turn in Education: From Marxist Critique to Poststructuralist Feminism to Critical Theories of Race, by Isaac Gottesman, including:
· The infiltration of American colleges of education by radical Marxists in the 1960s onward, and the shift in training and curriculum towards Marxism.
· The influence and current prevalence of of Brazilian Marxist Paulo Friere, and his works including Pedagogy of the Oppressed, and Politics of Education within American colleges of education.
Junior year course of study on the publication Unrestricted Warfare, the Chinese Communist Party war doctrine against America, including:
· Selected readings identifying America as vulnerable to ideological subversion and political warfare paradigms.
· Selected readings, drawing from other resources where necessary, to identify the ruthlessness of the Chinese Communist Party’s war doctrine against America, including the desirability of training Chinese children to be willing to murder women and children, to commit genocide, and to dominate the whole globe – including the American heartland.
Junior year course of study on the German idealist philosopher Hegel, including:
· The “Hegelian dialectic,” from the alchemical origins of Hermeticism to the weaponized Problem-Reaction-Solution formulation of political warfare.
· The movement of “Young Hegelians” and “Old Hegelians,” which spread this Historicist ideology around the world, including to avowed “Hegelian” thinkers Karl Marx, Woodrow Wilson, John Dewey, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and so on.

Electives offered to all students at the high school level (to be offered at minimum in alternating years)
Political Warfare 101, a deeper study into the concepts of political warfare, including:
· “Active measures,” the entire political warfare practice of actively subverting the opposition, including disinformation, demoralization, counter-hegemony and counter-state operations, coopting persons and organizations, and compromising and turning enemy agents.
· “Reification,” the social science concept of bolstering a presupposition by adoption of the framework, usually done when attempting to argue against an item at face-value that was intended for the purpose of reifying some other concept.
· “Entryism,” or the Marxist political warfare tactic of infiltrating an organization or institution, and utilizing the internal control mechanisms (such as hiring and firing) to bring in more Marxists and expel anti-Communists.
· “Counter-hegemony,” the Marxist practice outlined by Gramci whereby organizations are infiltrated, and then overtaken by Marxists by becoming the most intractable and critical group within the organization, in order to capture the organization towards revolutionary ends.
· “Dialectical inversion,” or the Marxist practice of inverting concepts by changing the framing, usually by obfuscating between oppression imposed by man and that imposed by nature, and blaming their opposition for natural phenomena and oppression in order to cast them as the villain and demand more power or resources.
· “Good trouble” and “beautiful trouble,” as the political warfare concepts named by Marxists for direct action, protest, and other street-level operations and provocations.
· “Framing,” as the psychological practice of adopting the point of view of the “oppressed,” see also “critical consciousness.”
· “Mass lines,” as the Maoist political warfare doctrine of developing narratives and operational/information preparation of the environment such that seemingly random events are provoked at correct times and turned into mass social movements.
· “Metaphysics,” and “presuppositions,” as the beliefs people hold that precede logic – those items taken as true on their face – as the foremost location for attack by Communist ideology, and the smuggling of Marxian metaphysics under the false banner of “science.”
· “Epistemology,” theories of knowledge, the logical fallacy of legitimation by paralogy (appeals to experts, bandwagon, authority, etc), the Socratic and scientific method, and methodology of scientific studies.
· “Pedagogy,” the methodologies of teaching, and the capture of pedagogy by Marxian methodologies.
· “Disinformation,” as the information warfare tactic of deceit, and also as the delegitimation tactic of the label “disinformation” given by political warfare operators.
· How all these concepts relate to political and information warfare with a particular focus on Maoist doctrine. Study should draw significantly from materials from Unconstrained Analytics’ intelligence products, New Discourses articles and podcasts, Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and the updated Marxist political warfare strategy guide “Beautiful Trouble.”
Political Warfare 102: a study on the history of political and ideological warfare, including:
· Occultism and secret societies from Plato’s writings to New Age Theosophy and Madam Blavatsky, Hermeticism and Gnosticism, the Eleusinian Mysteries and other cult initiation rites.
· Cult inner circles and intelligence agencies, mutually assured destruction through rites involving perversion and blackmail with an emphasis on the historic use of children as a sexual “honeypot” for blackmail materials:
o The Kincora boys’ home in Northern Ireland run by British intelligence.
o Western intelligence agencies’ links to the private island of Jeffery Epstein.
o Such use of children dating back to Plato, as discussed in his Symposium, and continuing through the modern era, from Herbert Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization, “the road to higher culture leads through the true love of boys.”
· The “dialectic” as used by powerful people and organizations as a weapon through an engineered “problem,” and shaping the “reaction” through cultural means, to achieve a desired outcome “solution.”
· Study should draw significantly from materials from Unconstrained Analytics, New Discourses, Sovereign Nations, and Derryl Cooper’s MartyrMade Podcast 3-episode series on Jeffery Epstein.

The decision is crucial for Ukraine’s chances of winning the war. However, it marks an escalation, bringing the US closer to conflict with Russia, the world’s largest possessor of nuclear warheads. A video released by the Russian government warns that by enabling Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, the West has revealed its “true motive.” The Moscow claims that these weapons are not for defense but are intended to strike civilian infrastructure inside Russia.
Putin told reporters in Tashkent that constant escalation could lead to dire consequences in Europe and the United States. He warned Western leaders that their decision was dangerous and could trigger a global conflict. Specifically, he said that sending French troops to Ukraine would be a step too far. Additionally, he ominously stated that some European countries have small landmasses but dense populations. Regardless of where one stands on the Ukraine war or whether the US and NATO should be involved, the Kremlin is correct in saying that each successive escalation brings the world closer to a global conflict.
On March 22, 2024, Russia declared war on Ukraine. While major media outlets reported this escalation, it didn’t receive the attention it deserved. A declaration of war is a critical step, changing Russia’s internal rules of engagement and allowing for broader military actions. In Russian military thinking, “war” is the most intense form of conflict, whereas “special military operations,” as the Ukraine conflict was previously classified, are seen as less intense on a spectrum of warfare. This declaration sets the stage for a stronger response to any foreign interference.
In a speech just before the declaration of war, Putin stated, “Strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness for guaranteed use.” The mention of nuclear weapons is concerning, especially now that war has been declared. The “Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence,” approved by President Vladimir Putin in June 2020, outlines Russia’s nuclear policy. According to this policy, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies. However, nuclear weapons may also be used in response to conventional aggression that threatens the very existence of the state. So, the definition of a threat or the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons is both ambiguous and subjective, meaning the Ukraine war itself, direct attacks on the Russian homeland, or foreign intervention could be enough to trigger a nuclear response.
Now that the threat of nuclear war has increased, there is a heightened risk of global conflict, as the US and other Western nations are contractually obligated to become involved. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine violates the Budapest Memorandum, a 1994 agreement between Ukraine, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This memorandum provided security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its agreement to relinquish its nuclear weapons to Russia. Ukraine sought legally binding guarantees for its protection in case of invasion, but the US did not agree to such terms. Instead, the US, UK, and Russia provided politically binding assurances to respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and existing borders.
The Memorandum on Security Assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, also known as the Budapest Memorandum, states, “The United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.”
China and France also made similar assurances but did not sign the Budapest Memorandum. On December 4, 1994, China issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. China expressed its support for the security assurances provided by the Budapest Memorandum signatories and declared its respect for the principles of the UN Charter regarding non-aggression and non-interference in internal affairs. However, China has violated this promise by aiding Russia’s war in Ukraine.
France issued a similar statement on December 5, 1994, echoing the sentiments of the Budapest Memorandum. France emphasized its commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and reiterated the importance of respecting international laws and principles, particularly those enshrined in the UN Charter.
The declaration of war is an escalation. The low threshold for Russia’s use of nuclear weapons could easily be triggered by increased involvement from foreign powers or by Ukraine striking the Russian homeland. This is not to say that Ukraine is wrong for defending itself or for attacking the Russian homeland, nor is it a refutation of the US, NATO, or other nations coming to Ukraine’s aid. It is simply a reminder that the US and the West must be prepared for a full-scale war with Russia, including the possible use of nuclear weapons.
In his speech to the Russian people, Putin said about the West, “Everything that they are coming up with now, how they are spooking the whole world—all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and therefore the destruction of civilization.”

The Gateway Pundit is excited to announce an exclusive partnership with New Gen 47 PAC to provide exclusive coverage of a series of concerts in the coming months that will promote national unity and encourage Americans to support Donald J. Trump for president.
Jim Hoft, the founder and owner of The Gateway Pundit, released a statement this morning on the exciting new venture:
Jim Hoft: “We are thrilled to announce our new partnership between The Gateway Pundit and NewGen47 for the highly anticipated Waka Flocka Flame concert on June 14th. This collaboration promises to bring an unforgettable experience, blending top-tier entertainment and politics with the support of one of America’s most trusted news organizations. Stay tuned for exclusive updates and content from this exciting partnership. There’s much more to come!”
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, New Gen 47 PAC, founded by LJ Fino, President of First Class Records, and PR consultant Alex Fahmy, have big plans to hold concerts and music events with famous musicians to rally low-propensity, young, and minority voters for Donald Trump and other conservatives in November.
It can be recalled that cofounder LJ Fino had a hand in producing hit #1 songs, such as “Justice for All” featuring Donald Trump and the J6 Choir and Kari Lake’s “81 Million Votes my Ass,” as Mailman Media’s Head of Recorded Music Operations. Fino’s First Class Records label has also produced music by Lara Trump.
Their launch event on June 14 in Maimi, Florida will feature a performance by famous ‘No Hands’ rapper Waka Flocka Flame. Get tickets to the launch event with Waka Flocka Flame Miami HERE:
Waka Flocka Flame is an Atlanta-based rapper who, according to Genius, “became a mainstream artist with the release of his hit club-bangers 'O Let’s Do It', 'Hard in da Paint', and 'No Hands' featuring Wale and Roscoe Dash, with the latter peaking at number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100. All were singles included on his debut studio album Flockaveli, released on October 5th, 2010. His second studio album Triple F Life: Friends, Fans & Family was released in 2012 and was preceded by the lead single 'Round of Applause' featuring now renowned rapper Drake. His ruthless style of rap governed the genre to how it is today, along with T.I., Jeezy and Gucci Mane.”
His hit song “No Hands” ft. Roscoe Dash & Wale was also nominated for BET’s Best Collaboration Award, alongside “Look at Me Now” by Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes, “What’s My Name” by Rhianna ft. Drake, and “All of the Lights” by Kanye West ft. Rihanna, in 2011.
The “Hard in Da Paint” rapper’s team recently told The Gateway Pundit, “The president upon arrival shook things up, said things, and made comments that were out of the box, out of the ordinary, and quite frankly surprising to most.” They continued, “However, this is exactly what made him unique and worthy of leading this country. Waka is one of many who may have questioned the approach, but that line of questioning is what led him to such stern support today.”
Other New Gen 47 events with A-list entertainers and pro-Trump Hollywood celebrities are expected to be announced soon.
We guarantee you, their set list is something to be excited for!
The Gateway Pundit will provide exclusive video coverage of New Gen 47’s historic entertainment and concert series in support of Donald J. Trump for President in 2024.
Cofounder LJ Fino said
LJ Fino: NEW GEN 47 is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with The Gateway Pundit to support the performing arts, register young and minority voters, and contribute to the re-election campaign of President Trump. Through this collaboration, we will empower underrepresented communities to participate in the democratic process and ensure robust support for President Trump's re-election. This collaboration reflects our commitment to community engagement, artistic expression, and civic participation by Americans from all walks of life.
This announcement comes as the American political landscape has been rocked by what many are calling a travesty of justice involving Democrat show trials and persecution of President Donald Trump, the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election . A biased New York jury returned a GUILTY verdict on ALL 34 COUNTS against President Trump following a contentious trial, widely regarded as politically motivated in New York City.
We now live in a country where elections are rigged, you can be sued or charged with a crime for questioning a rigged election, and the regime is convicting opposition leaders on bogus charges.
Like entertainers, such as renowned rap star Kodak Black, who was convicted of gun crimes -- the same charges Hunter Biden still walks free on -- was sent to prison for years and later granted a pardon by President Trump, Trump is a victim of the corrupt justice system in America. Kodak Black came out last year, saying, “We need Donald Trump in office, forever!”
Now more than ever, it is vitally important that Americans wake up to the corrupt Biden Regime and vote for Donald Trump in November.

The jury in corrupt Judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo court found President Trump guilty of 34 felonies on Thursday afternoon. Each felony conviction could land President Trump in prison for four years.
Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. This is unheard of in US history. The jury only had to agree something bad happened. This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
This was clearly the greatest travesty of justice in American history.
So now we have a convicted US President with 34 felony counts and NO ONE knows what crime President Trump committed!
The jury never explained what crime Trump committed and was not required to explain what crime Trump committed.
Jonathan Turley spoke about this on Thursday following the verdicts.
Jonathan Turley: The instructions had that feel, I called it in a column yesterday of a canned hunt, where you actually shoot game in a cage. But in defense of some of those jurors, they may have not seen any alternative but conviction.
Keep in mind, this judge allowed the government to repeatedly tell them that it was a fact that an election violation occurred and that Trump had ordered it. Judge Mershan stayed absolutely silent during that statement. Over and over again, even though it violated his instruction.
To this day, we won’t know what the jury really decided on the conspiracy. I was in that courtroom listening to 34 guilty verdicts, but they didn’t say what the jury thought had happened. They were unanimous only that some crime, some secondary crime occurred.
Judge Mershan did not require them to reach unanimity on what that crime was. So, it’s going to go on appeal, and the appellate court won’t know any more than we have in terms of knowledge as to was this an election violation, another falsification of documents, a tax violation? That’s just simply not in the record.
Jonathan Turley is right. “Beyond a reasonable doubt” was replaced with “If the ground is wet, you can infer it rained.” This is now precedent in our American legal system.
The country may never recover from these lawfare travesties by the Marxists in power and the federal agencies that support them.

63 years ago, on March 30, 1961, Ronald Reagan delivered one of the most memorable speeches in his lifetime.
Ronald Reagan delivered the remarks to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.
Reagan warned Americans about the threat of totalitarianism in a free society.
Ronald Reagan: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.”
Ronald Reagan warned Americans about the communist threat. Today, more than any other day since then, we all understand and we all feel how these words ring true.
We are losing our freedom.
The tyrannical left is on the march.
Ronald Reagan: “Our Founding Fathers, here in this country, brought about the only true revolution that has ever taken place in man’s history. Every other revolution simply exchanged one set of rulers for another set of rulers.
But only here did that little band of men so advanced beyond their time that the world has never seen their like since, evolve the idea that you and I have within ourselves the God-given right and the ability to determine our own destiny.
But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream.
The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it and then hand it to them with the well thought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same.
And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”
That’s where we are today in America. The Marxist left is stripping us of our freedoms. Government bodies are in full support of their tyranny.
Here is Ronald Reagan’s famous words from 1961,

Business mogul Elon Musk came out against the politically motivated Donald Trump show trial, saying it has done “great damage” to America’s legal system.
Trump was found guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels in what is widely regarded as a rigged process.
Musk appeared to agree with that assessment, tweeting out his condemnation of the verdict to his over 185 million followers on the X platform.
“The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans… It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA,” wrote a user by the name Geiger Capital.
“Indeed, great damage was done today to the public’s faith in the American legal system,” Musk responded. “If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter – motivated by politics, rather than justice – then anyone is at risk of a similar fate.”

Musk will be all too aware of the risks of malicious prosecution. Since he bought the X platform and began stating his opposition to leftist ideology, various senior Democrats including Sen. Elizabeth Warren have called for “investigations” into his companies.
Trump, meanwhile, is now the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. His sentencing is scheduled for July three days before the Republican convention.

Mayor Eric Adams was right.
Mayor Eric Adams appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show in 2022 and told the host that he felt the current bail system was a catch-and-release failure.
He stated, ” This catch, repeat, release system is just destroying the foundation of our country.” he then goes even deeper to say that the current system is why Democrats are losing black and brown voters in mass.
We cannot talk our way out of this. We have to be real about what people are facing in the streets.”
When we look at the state of New York just a little over two years later, nothing has changed, and I would confidently say that things have gotten worse.

Aside from the mugshots revealing that white supremacy isn’t the cause of crime in black and brown communities, most of these crimes include sexual harassment and violent assaults from a repeat offender.
A Border Belt Independent report from February went into great detail about what “bail reform” is doing to law enforcement after a man who was charged with murder was released on bond.
The practice of allowing murder suspects to post bail has been a source of debate across the country and in Robeson County, which has the highest violent crime rate in North Carolina.
At least six of the roughly 66 people who were charged with first- or second-degree murder in 2023 in cases investigated by the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office were out on pre-trial release as of mid-January, an analysis by the Border Belt Independent shows.

Locklear made bond for a robbery committed in March of 2022 and was released in May of 2023 for the November 2022 first-degree murder charges.
Locklear was one of three arrested after a Red Springs man was found dead in a ditch on Nov. 29, 2022.
Law enforcement aren’t the only people dealing with the fallout of bail reform for violent criminals. American voters are starting to realize trying to save people based on their skin tone or financial status is creating a world where criminals who should be behind bars are now free to kill or assault their loved ones.
Just last week, former ‘General Hospital’ actor Johnny Wactor was shot and killed while trying to stop robbers who were trying to steal parts of his car. The actor’s fiancee took to social media to express her frustration and grief at the reality that criminals who should be behind bars are causing people to lose their lives.

Judge Jeanine Pirro of FOX News reacted to the Trump verdict today by saying that America has gone over a cliff.
As a judge herself, Jeanine lamented what this decision has done to the public image of our legal system, but as a political matter she was clearly outraged.
She spoke for millions of Americans.
From FOX News:
America has gone ‘over a cliff’ with Trump’s conviction, Judge Jeanine says: ‘All smoke and mirrors’
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said Thursday that America has “gone over a cliff” after former President Trump was found guilty on all counts, making him the first former President of the United States to be convicted of a crime.
“I want to believe that Americans believe in justice, and I think that in their gut, they realized that there is something that is very wrong here. We have gone over a cliff in America,” Pirro said on-air, moments after the jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records on all counts, concluding his historic and unprecedented criminal trial. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
“This verdict is a verdict of someone who was forced to fight a 1,000-pound gorilla with both hands tied behind his back. This was a defendant for whom crimes were created, against whom a judge…was handpicked for this defendant, who denied him the ability to fight the way he needed to fight, who brought in crimes that we have never heard of in New York before, where they had dead misdemeanors that they resurrected into felonies based upon non-unanimous verdicts of crimes that are federal over which no state court or no state judge or prosecutor has jurisdiction,” Pirro said.
“And in the end, with all this smoke and mirrors, at 34 counts, and a hooker, and a guy, [who] according to a federal judge is a serial perjurer, we have convicted a former President of the United States of America,” she continued.

It was Christmas in May for Hollywood celebrities after a jury in deep blue New York City voted to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his business records case.
While an appeal is a certainty — “This is far from over,” Trump said following the verdict — the stars nevertheless rushed to celebrate the case, which was brought by Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg (D), who was present in the courtroom on Thursday.
“Tears of joy,” an emotional Kathy Griffin wrote.

“This is what happens when you cross the Rubicon,” he added.
“If you are a state AG/prosecutor with original criminal jurisdiction, you had better be drafting up charges, indictments, and warrants for every Democrat official involved in this insane, treasonous attack on our entire constitutional republic,” he mused in another post.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has been observing the Trump trial as a legal expert for FOX News.

He also suggested that the case will be overturned on appeal.
From Townhall:
Jonathan Turley Has a Lot to Say About the Trump Verdict
Legal expert Jonathan Turley reacted with strong words to the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump, who was convicted on all 34 counts at his New York hush money trial after only two days of jury deliberations spanning over nine hours.
“I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others,” Turley tweeted, saying that he believes that the case will be reversed “eventually” either at the state or federal level. “However,” the George Washington University Law School professor added, “this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system than the former president. I had hoped that the jurors might redeem the integrity of a system that has been used for political purposes.”…
Turley, who was there at the time of the verdict’s reading, called it “one of the most bizarre moments” he ever experienced in the courtroom. Judge Juan Merchan had just said the jury had not yet reached a decision and that they’d be dismissed for the day.

While it is unclear if the aging sex worker has accepted the offer, it does not seem like there is much she is not willing to do for money.
TMZ reports:
In a letter sent to the adult film actress — obtained by TMZ — PETA invites SD to collaborate on its next PSA, which rails against horse racing.
The campaign is set to release ahead of the Belmont Stakes and references Stormy’s past sex confession involving the 45th prez … where she alleged Trump lasted no more than 2 minutes in bed.
Alongside a mockup of the PSA, a tagline reads … “Nobody likes a two-minute ride. Turn your back on horse racing cruelty.”
PETA applauds Stormy for speaking out, and encourages her to use her platform for a good cause, noting … “Every week, an average of 24 horses shatter bones and die at racetracks across the country, and the distressing number of deaths continue to mount. Last year alone, 16 horses died at Churchill Downs in the weeks leading to the Kentucky Derby.”
The animal rights extremist organization urged Daniels to consider, claiming that the washed-up sex worker’s participation could make a big difference.
PETA often sells themselves as trying to protect animals from being killed, but they hypocritically murder thousands of adoptable pets each year at their Virginia headquarters.
Documents uncovered by PETAKillsAnimals.com indicated that following an inspection of the PETA facilities, the Commonwealth of Virginia was so shocked by the number of animals they kill each year that the state inspector attempted to revoke their license to operate a shelter.
Dr. Daniel Kovich, the investigator with the VDACS that inspected PETA’s animal shelter in July 2010 determined “the facility does not contain sufficient animal enclosures to routinely house the number of animals annually reported as taken into custody.”
It turns out that PETA has never intended to keep animals that are surrendered to them.
“After reviewing two months worth of records, Kovich found that 245 of the 290 animals–84 percent–that PETA took into custody were killed within 24 hours. Only 17 were reported as adopted or in foster homes. Kovich noted that PETA’s shelter did not meet PETA’s own published guidelines for operating a humane animal shelter,” PETA Kills Animals reports.
In 2019, PETA killed 1,500 cats and dogs. The following year, PETA’s so-called “shelter” took in 2,650 animals and euthanized 67% of the 1,763 animals.

Shortly after the announcement was made today that an NYC jury found President Trump guilty of 34 ridiculous charges, based on an unfair case heard in a courtroom led by a dirty, far-left judge and prosecuted by a Soros-funded NYC DA, President Trump’s donor campaign website crashed from an excessive amount of traffic.
In addition to everyday Americans racing to help fund President Trump’s re-election campaign, an unlikely donor also made a sizeable contribution to President Trump’s 2024 campaign following the announcement of the jury’s verdict.
Only moments after the 34 guilty charges were announced, Sequoia Capitol Partner Shaun Maguire made a $300,000 donation to Trump’s 2024 campaign.

“I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why.
Back in 2016, I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such, I donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her.
By 2020, I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option.
Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump.
I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do.
I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak.
The 2016 Election
I’m going to start off with something provocative, but I think it leads to a different take on the most controversial Trump issue, which is obviously January 6th. So here goes nothing.
I believe the 2016 election was manipulated to hurt Hilary Clinton and to help Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton herself believes this; she has denied the 2016 election result dozens of times and still does to this day. Plot twist: I agree with her! Look into Guccifer 2.0, which was the “hacker group” that strategically leaked her emails (through Wikileaks) in a drip campaign at just the right moments. Turns out it was the Russian GRU. And remember all those fake news and bot farms? These incidents are the tip of the spear — some of the publicly known incidents. There was extreme manipulation happening during the 2016 election.
Before proceeding, please watch at least 30 seconds of this video. It’s “24 straight minutes of Democrats denying election results.”
Russia (and others) interfering in the 2016 election was nothing new; this happens in every election, everywhere in the world. Obviously.
But for me, as someone that used to work in National Security, Russia’s implicit support for Trump made me deathly afraid of him getting elected as President.
I was wrong, and Russia miscalculated. President Trump turned out to be a master of foreign policy and particularly strong towards Russia. If you’ve never seen it before, please watch this two-minute clip from Trump at a NATO breakfast 5 years ago.
If you’re too lazy, Trump told Germany that they’re a) owned by Russia via their energy dependence, b) financing Russia’s war machine by buying their energy, c) not investing enough in defense, investing only 1% of GDP, which was below the 2% NATO commitment, meanwhile the US was investing 4.2% of GDP. And yet the world said he’s owned by Russia?
For other Trump foreign policy wins, he: a) signed the Abraham Accords, b) successfully put Iran in the penalty box, which the Biden administration immediately unwound, and c) he helped India see the dangers of having their comms networks controlled by China, resulting in Huawei and TikTok bans there.
My “radicalization” towards the center
August 16th, 2021 was the day I knew I could never support Joe Biden or any of the senior officials in his administration. This was the day that Afghans fell to their deaths from US C-17 airplanes at the Kabul International Airport, or KAIA as ISAF forces referred to it.
Back in 2012, I deployed to Afghanistan, working for DARPA. I used to fly out of KAIA at least weekly, usually taking a Blackhawk to Bagram Airfield (BAF), but sometimes jumping on a C-130 down to Kandahar (KAF).
I’m not going to go into all of the details here, but this was personal for me — as it was for anyone that served in Afghanistan. Most have the wrong impression of what happened there. Afghanistan wasn’t Iraq. And real progress had been made. It took roughly 15 years to stabilize most of Afghanistan, but the ISAF coalition had gotten it to the place that little girls were going to school in Kabul, sometimes walked there by their mothers who weren’t even wearing Burkas anymore. All of this was unimaginable a decade prior.
And then there’s the strategic aspect. The US’s most strategic base in Afghanistan was Bagram Airfield. Unless you’ve been there it’s impossible to imagine how strategic this base is, and how easy it is to defend. Nestled in a remote valley at the foothills of the Himalayas. Within a couple hour flight of China and Iran, and a few minute flight to Pakistan. I believe this airfield could have been held for 50+ years with 50,000 men. A similar scale to the US permanent forces stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany or the US bases in Okinawa, Japan.
We gave up one of the most strategic air bases in the world, and arguably stability in Kabul, for political gain — to be able to say that President Biden ended the War in Afghanistan. And we did it in the most incompetent manner possible, literally with people falling from our airplanes. Everyone I have spoken with that served in Afghanistan knows this.
Global instability
It wasn’t just Afghanistan, I believe that the Biden administration has had some of the worst foreign policy in decades. And this has manifested in two major Wars breaking out during their administration, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Iran’s proxy attack against Israel.
Was the timing just bad luck? I don’t believe so. I believe that a weak America leads to a chaotic world.
The failed Afghanistan pull-out showed the weakness of the Biden administration. They failed to adapt to changing facts on the ground, chiefly the Afghan army putting up no resistance as the Taliban drove towards Kabul. If the US can’t adapt quickly in a theater where we’re already active, how can it react quickly to a blitz in a new theater, Ukraine?
Granted the Russian’s botched their blitz, miscalculating the weather, almost certainly to keep China happy as they hosted the Olympics in Feb 2022.
The most damaging foreign policy has been the Biden administration’s approach to Iran. Biden resuscitated Obama’s braindead Iran doctrine. Somehow believing that the theocratic Islamic Regime could be turned towards the West.
But it’s much worse than this. After Hamas’ attack against Israel on October 7th, Iran took credit for planning the attack publicly. Moreover, Iran was so bold that their proxies carried out over 300 attacks against US bases and Naval ships. Many of the attacks haven’t been disclosed or publicized. At least 4 US soldiers have been killed in these attacks. And yet, somehow, despite this, the Biden administration has been rewarding Iran by unfreezing their funds, mourning the death of President Raisi, and hamstringing Israel in its proxy battle.
This level of weakness is unprecedented in my opinion. The US has been kissing the ring of its attacker, literally while attacks against our Armed Forces are carried out. If you start looking, it’s hard to see anything other than Iranian foreign influence in the Biden administration, such as what Semafor reported on, and which was effectively buried by our mainstream media.
The Biden administration has been a dream come true for foreign adversaries, and a nightmare for US allies. Trusting of enemies, and fickle with friends.
Israel
To anyone that follows me on X, you know that I’m a staunch Israel supporter and also Zionist. I believe that Israel is one of America’s most important allies in the world. Unfortunately, in a post-Snowden world, Israel is now arguably the world’s top cyber power. And it’s a critical intelligence ally for any US operations in the Middle East. It’s also becoming an advanced weapons partner, co-developing the hypersonic missile defense system Arrow 3 and also Iron Dome + Iron Beam.
The Islamic Regime in Iran terrorizes its own people and their proxies terrorize the entire region. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has been modernizing at an exceptional pace. Somehow the Biden administration has chosen to cuddle up to Iran while driving Saudi Arabia and Israel away. This is unforgivably disastrous policy in my opinion.
Double standards
The next topic that has boiled my blood are the double standards and lawfare that Trump has faced. Here are some examples:
Classified documents: Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, Mike Pence and Donald Trump were all caught with classified documents. Only Trump was indicted. Either it’s a crime for all of them or none of them. All of the arguments about quantity of documents or obstruction are distractions to justify a double standard.
The Border Wall: remember how Trump was villainized for promoting a border wall? Biden resumed building sections of it after pausing them, which the legacy media has been very quiet about.
Election denialism: yes, Trump denied the 2020 election results. But as we linked to above, so did Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden regarding the 2016 results. As have hundreds of other politicians since 2000. Either they’re all election deniers, or none of them.
Corruption charges: every inch has been searched for Trump corruption while Joe Biden’s involvement with foreign countries (through Hunter) have been swept under the rug.
Here are some examples.
Three strikes for thee but not for me: Joe Biden was the architect of the 1994 Crime Bill, which most attribute as the source of the mass incarceration we saw over the next two decades (especially amongst black communities). Crack cocaine, in particular, was treated harshly when combined with the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act. Watch this video. Hunter Biden would be locked up for life if the same rules were applied to him that Joe Biden imposed on thousands of others.
This is just the tip of the double-standard iceberg.
Lawfare
This is too broad of a topic to go into detail here, but suffice to say I’ve spent hundreds of hours following the trials and researching the charges against Trump. This has been another radicalizing experience. I understand that normally when there’s smoke, there’s fire, but in this case, I think when there’s smoke, there’s lawfare.
To anyone with a curious mind, I implore you to go deep on any of the charges against Trump, whether civil or criminal. Here’s a very quick summary of some of the fishy aspects:
Election Interference Case: Jack Smith was appointed Special Counsel to prosecute Trump. Jack Smith previously got the Governor of Virginia convicted of corruption charges… WHICH WERE THEN UNANIMOUSLY OVERTURNED BY THE SUPREME COURT. Basically Jack Smith misled the Jury. Why would you choose Jack Smith to be the Special Counsel for this case? Maybe if all you’re trying to do is to get charges to stick before an election, even if you know they’ll be overturned subsequently by the Supreme Court?
The Classified Documents Case: once again Jack Smith is the Special Counsel.
Georgia Election Interference: The Fulton County DA, Fani Willis, has a history of corruption. It turns out that the outside lawyer she selected to prosecute Trump … is someone she was having a romantic relationship with, Nathan Wade. Wade’s Law firm made about $700k after Willis appointed him. This was concealed. Wade has since resigned from the case but Willis is still involved.
The Hush Money Case: The key witness, Michael Cohen, is a proven liar. His testimony has been filled with contradiction after contradiction.
Bank Fraud: Trump was ordered by Judge Engoron to pay over $350M in civil judgment that he committed bank fraud. This whole case reeked of corruption. This was an incident where no harm had been done: the banks had already been fully repaid with interest. The most important point in the case was Judge Engoron arguing that Mar-a-Lago was worth only between $18M and $27.6M when Trump had said it’s worth between $426.5M and $612M. Judge Engoron tried to compare apples to oranges, with an appraised value vs market value for a property that is very clearly worth something close to Trump’s range.
Sexual Assault / E Jean Carroll: the background to this case was almost unbelievable. In simple terms, a woman in 2019, E Jean Carroll, came out and said that 20+ years prior, in the late 1990s, Donald Trump had sexually assaulted her. The statute of limitations on this case had expired more than a decade prior to her claims. But the state of New York did something unprecedented and opened a one year window where people could file claims for sexual abuse going back to exactly the window when E Jean Carroll accused him. So that’s point #1, there was lawfare around the statute of limitations. Point #2 is that the case was highly irregular and ultimately the Jury determined that Trump did not rape E Jean Carroll, despite her claims. But they did determine that he sexually assaulted her (a lesser charge than rape.)
All of these cases are too complicated for most to follow, almost by design. As someone that has been following the cases closely, I’ve had the opposite reaction of what was intended: a) every single case seems to have had impropriety, and b) after going through Trump’s entire life, if these are the worst things they can find, then he did less wrong then I otherwise would have assumed.
Fairness is one of my guiding principles in life and simply, these cases haven’t been fair for Trump.
Where do I disagree with Republicans?
The number one area is abortion. This is obviously a lightning rod issue. As someone with libertarian leaning views, I believe the Republicans have the wrong stance around imposing their views on others. That said, I think Democrats misunderstand the constitutional argument that this should be a states issue.
Domestic policies
Other than abortion, I believe that President Trump and the Republicans have been better on most domestic issues. Look at the quality of life in Red States, such as Florida and Texas, vs. that in Blue States, like California, Oregon, and New York. I used to live in San Francisco and now live in Los Angeles. The crime and homelessness is out of control.
Trump was villainized for his stance on building a border wall, but we’ve had about 10M illegal immigrants cross into the US already during President Biden’s tenure.
The Democrats have been trying to regulate technology — especially open source AI and crypto in ways that incentivize the best builders to build outside of America.
25 years ago I believe the Far Right was vastly more dangerous than the Far Left. But today I believe the Far Left, and especially Antifa, is more dangerous. Our attention and maintenance was on the Far Right while we ignored the Far Left.
The 2020 election and January 6th
Now, onto the elephant in the room: the 2020 election. The topic is so taboo that if you talk about it, you’re immediately cancelled. I’m willing to wade into this fire — some of us need to be willing to.
I believe America has conflated two issues: the 2020 election itself and January 6th.
Just as Hilary Clinton and dozens of other democrats claimed the 2016 election was stolen (which I agree with). I believe there was a similar scale, or even more interference in the 2020 election. We need to be able to talk about this, so that we can fix the problems. Democracy doesn’t work without secure elections. But it also doesn’t work without peaceful transitions of power. Both are essential.
I believe there was extreme election interference, but I don’t believe January 6th was the right response. Bear with me.
So what was going on during the 2020 election?
I held a Top Secret (TS/SCI) clearance for about 7 years and used to work in information warfare, and also cybersecurity. I’ve seen nation-state tactics that most can’t imagine. It is from this lens, and through access to lots of non-public information, through which I viewed the election.
If you go back to the 2020 election, arguably the most sophisticated cyberattack in history was taking place. This was the SolarWinds supply chain attack. This attack was so sophisticated that it’s impossible to know exactly what it was used for. And much of what we do know has never been reported.
Washington has an interesting phenomenon where when something incredibly damaging is learned, people oftentimes clam up and refuse to deal with it. I’ve seen this firsthand multiple times now.
But we also have things like the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, which the FBI was in possession of for roughly a year before the election, and despite it being easy to verify its authenticity, the FBI was actively telling Facebook and Twitter that it is fake news and they recommended banning sharing of the NY Post article about it.
But there were so many other issues. Not least of which was a global pandemic that almost certainly leaked from a Chinese lab, but we weren’t allowed to talk about that. Nor the mail-in ballot issues.
Many point to the 2020 election and say “there’s no smoking gun evidence so therefore, there was no interference!” My retort is that there’s not public evidence and in general the DoD/IC is afraid to push too far on the issue, knowing how damaging it would be to find interference. There’s things I can’t say.
The end result is a 2020 election where Biden and Trump combined received 155.5M votes vs the 128.8M combined for Hilary and Trump in 2016. That’s 26.7M more votes in 2020 compared to 2016. That’s a 20% increase in voter turnout in a period where the population only grew by a few percent. In an election where people weren’t inspired by either candidate. And where there was more voting friction than ever before due to COVID-19.
Personally, I don’t think it’s fair for Hilary Clinton to be able to claim the 2016 election was stolen, but Donald Trump to be indicted for the same thing.
Regarding the January 6th protests. I don’t agree with them. Even if an election is stolen, I think the correct democratic response is to accept it, have peaceful transition of power, and then to fight like hell on the backend to make sure it never happens again.
Regarding Trump’s involvement in January 6th. The clearest thing he did was deny the election results, but again, so did Hilary Clinton. So if this isn’t a crime in and of itself, then what else did he do?
The rest is fuzzy. There is conflicting testimony, especially around when the National Guard was requested. On the one hand you had the testimonies of General Charles Flynn and Lt. General Walter Piatt. But on the other side you have the testimonies of Colonel Earl Mathews, Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and The Head of the Capitol Police at the time, Steven Sund. The media reports on Trump’s January 6th involvement in absolute terms but again, if you go deep, it’s unclear. For me, if Trump actually asked for the National Guard to be ready to go during January 6th it’s a major counterpoint against the allegations that he was inciting an insurrection.
Summary
In 2016 there were two primary reasons I voted for Hilary (and was deathly afraid of Trump)
#1) Russia helped him in the election by hurting Hilary. This made me susceptible to the media narrative that he’s owned by Russia and will be a foreign policy disaster.
#2) Candidly the clip where he said “I grab them by their pussy” deeply bothered me.
These two things built a pattern in my mind that Trump was out of control.
But now with the benefit of hindsight, revisiting these two points:
#1) To my shock, I believe Trump was one of the best foreign policy Presidents in decades, and during the most complex period in almost a century, as the East rises, which leads to a changing set of rules.
#2) That clip still sits in the back of my mind, but I personally consider the double standards and lawfare against Trump to be 10x worse, and 10x more dangerous for our Democracy.
What’s next?
Do I agree with Trump on everything? Of course not. The area where I disagree with Republicans the most is on Women’s rights. And I’m sure I’ll disagree with some of Trump’s policies in the future.
But in general, I think he was surprisingly prescient, such as with the border wall, and he was also a masterful negotiator, such as with the Abraham Accords.
There’s a real chance President Trump is convicted of felony charges and sentenced to prison. Bluntly, that’s part of why I’m supporting him. I believe our justice system is being weaponized against him.
If abortion is your most important issue, then I get it, vote for Biden. If any other topic is your most important issue, then do your homework and investigate the manipulation I outlined above.
Given the two choices, I believe President Trump is overwhelmingly the stronger candidate. Again, this is something I couldn’t have imagined saying in 2016.
Conclusion
Speak up. Don’t be silenced. Freedom of speech is worth nothing if you’re afraid to use it. We can’t let cancel culture win.
There’s no greater country in the world than America. But America has had a bad decade. America is blessed with a robust constitution, abundant natural resources, and diverse people. The way out from here is by focusing on our strengths, which are liberalism and hard work. We need to start building again.
Best of luck to President Trump.”

A massive fire broke out at Farina Farms Inc. in Marion County, Illinois, on Wednesday night, resulting in the deaths of millions of chickens.
The farm is one of the largest free-range egg facilities in the country.
The fire, which began around 6:30 p.m. along Highway 37, quickly escalated into a 5-alarm fire, requiring the intervention of at least 20 different fire departments from surrounding areas, according to WAND TV.
Described as “humongous” by Marion County Sheriff Kevin Cripps, the fire engulfed multiple buildings spanning 200-300 yards in length.
The smoke was so dense that it was visible on FOX 2’s Power Doppler radar, reaching altitudes between 13,000 and 15,000 feet and could be seen for miles around, WGN9 reported.
“The fire at the Chicken Farm south of Farina is so hot it is actually producing a rare type of cloud over it. It’s called a “pyrocumulus cloud.” They form over large fires (typically wildfires) due to the intense, upward vertical motion of air cooling and condensing as it moves higher into the sky,” Meteorologist Jacob Dickey wrote on Facebook.
“If fires burn hot enough, they can create clouds that produce lighting and rain, called pyrocumulonimbus clouds. That probably isn’t the case in Farina, but the fire is being spotted on radar between 12,000 to 15,000 feet high!” he added.
The Beckemeyer Volunteer Fire Department alone transported nearly 30,000 gallons of water over a distance of 45 miles to assist in the firefighting efforts, according to Chief Luke Baker.
“You can imagine the amount of water and manpower that was being used,” Baker commented. “Requests like this are made by MABAS (Mutual Aid Box Alarm System) to bring resources in from different areas so as not to deplete a whole county’s fire departments in one place. All in all, it was a massive effort by these first responders to bring it under control.”
The cause of the fire remained unknown. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the impact on the local economy and food supply is expected to be significant.

President Trump will hold a press conference tomorrow at 11 AM ET at the Trump Tower Atrium to speak out on his political persecution by radical left Biden Thugs in the Manhattan Court House.
Trump announced the presser on Truth on Thursday after the guilty verdict came in.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts!
“I’m a political prisoner!” Trump said after the verdict in his rigged trial with far-left jurors, a far-left conflicted Judge, and politically motivated prosecutors was announced.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.
After deliberating for several hours on Thursday, the jury returned a guilty verdict after the judge rigged the trial by allowing jurors to choose which crime they believed Trump committed.
Trump is facing four years in prison for every count.
The sentencing was set for July 11.
The Gateway Pundit will provide updates on Trump's press conference.

The Democrats are actually trying to make an upside down flag a thing.
Chief Justice Roberts on Thursday rejected demands by Democrat senators to meet over Justice Alito flying an upside down flag at his home after the 2020 election.
Alito’s wife flew an American flag upside down at their home after an argument with a nasty leftist neighbor.
Alito told Fox News that a neighbor called his wife a “c*nt” during an argument.
Roberts’ letter to Democrat Senators Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse comes after Alito refused to recuse himself from president Trumps cases related to January 6.
AP reported:
Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday declined an invitation to meet with Democratic senators to talk about Supreme Court ethics and the controversy over flags that flew outside homes owned by Justice Samuel Alito.
Roberts’ response came in a letter to the senators a day after Alito separately wrote them and House members to reject their demands that he recuse himself from major Supreme Court cases involving former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 rioters because of the flags, which are like those carried by rioters at the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol

Crime pays in the Windy City as long as you are not a law-abiding citizen.
As CWB Chicago reported, 35-year-old Whitley Temple, who ran over a Chicago police officer with his own squad car in June 2022 while naked after he stopped to help her, was found NOT GUILTY on all charges including attempted murder by reason of insanity by Judge Tyria Walton on Wednesday.
In addition to the murder, Temple was acquitted on four other charges: two counts of aggravated battery to a police officer, vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen vehicle. CWB Chicago notes Walton conducted a bench trial that dragged on for a month due to repeated continuances.
As CBS News Chicago notes, prosecutors alleged that on June 13, 2022, 23-year veteran Chicago Police Officer Edward Poppish found Temple naked in the street in West Garfield Park. She then stole his squad car, ran him over, and dragged him with the SUV.
She proceeded to race down the Kennedy Expressway at 90 mph before slamming into four cars at Harrison Street and Damen Avenue in the Illinois Medical District.
Poppish suffered a concussion as result of Temple’s actions and needed several stitches to his head.
Below is the video of the 2022 incident. Talk about a travesty of justice.

To make matters worse, the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services hired Temple earlier this year as a lead accountant while awaiting trial. Sources told CBS Chicago she was terminated in March.
While Temple is a free woman, she must report to court for a meeting with mental health officials on a treatment plan as the outletnotes.
Temple’s defense attorney had claimed to Walton that his client was “in a psychotic state” at the time of the incident during the bench trial, arguing that this is a “textbook insanity case.” The prosecution and defense presented their closing arguments on Wednesday before Walton announced her verdict the following day.

The political temperature in America has reached a boiling point following the controversial guilty verdict in the sham trial of President Donald Trump.
President Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush-money payment made to adult porn star Stormy Daniels.
This verdict makes Trump the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. The jury reached their decision after a five-week trial and two days of deliberation.
Donald Trump denounced the trial as a “disgrace” and “rigged,” claiming that a “conflicted” and “corrupt” judge presided over the proceedings. He has consistently maintained his innocence, declaring himself a “very innocent man,” and has announced plans to appeal the verdict.
In a united front, several Republican figures released strongly-worded comments to express their outrage and support for Trump.
Sen. JD Vance wrote, “This verdict is an absolute miscarriage of justice. While the outcome of this trial will no doubt be subject to appeal, it’s a disgrace to our judicial system that such measures will be necessary. The partisan slant of this jury pool shows why we ought to litigate politics at the ballot box and not in the courtroom. Ultimately, I have faith that the 2024 election will be decided by the American people, not corrupt judges and prosecutors.”

Sen. Tuberville wrote, “It’s a very dark day in American history. This ‘trial’ was a political witch hunt from the start. The fact that the Biden campaign staged a press conference outside the court tells you everything you need to know. Liberal activist Alvin Bragg and Biden-donor Judge Merchan had a shared goal: to put President Trump behind bars. Whether you consider the lopsided jury, the gag order issued to silence only President Trump, the prosecution’s failure to outline the alleged underlying crimes, or the lack of a unanimous verdict required for conviction, this trial was a complete joke and a massive misuse of taxpayer dollars.”
“This is pure election interference and the American people will see through it. We can’t have a two-tier justice system. If we don’t return to our Constitution, which guarantees every U.S. citizen the right to free speech and the right to a fair trial by an impartial jury, we are no better than Venezuela or communist China.”

New York City Soros-funded District Attorney Alvin Bragg Spoke to reporters on Thursday after the guilty verdicts against President Donald Trump in his lawfare case against the Republican candidate for President.
Alvin Bragg told reporters, “I did my job.” He cheered the verdicts and GLOATED following the convictions.
Joe Biden’s #3 at the Department of Justice, Matthew Colangelo, stood next to Bragg while he cheered the verdicts.
The attorneys at one point started laughing in pride of their work in taking out Donald Trump on bogus lawfare charges.

Republican Senate candidate for Maryland Larry Hogan just ended his political career.
Larry Hogan served as the governor of Maryland. Now he’s running as the self-described Catholic Republican senate candidate.
Just prior to the jury announcing the guilty verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare Trial against Trump, Larry Hogan demanded everyone respect the legal process.
This is after Joe Biden sent his top DOJ official Matthew Colangelo to New York as Bragg’s top prosecutor to ‘get Trump.’
The trial was rigged. Judge Merchan is corrupt and conflicted. His daughter made tens of millions of dollars off of the Trump trial.
Additionally, judge Merchan allowed the jurors to choose from one of three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed. The jurors did not need to unanimously agree on the verdict!
“Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law,” Larry Hogan said of the rigged trial.
The post Republican Senate Candidate Larry Hogan Just Ended His Political Career with One Tweet appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
RINO former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey endorsed fellow RINO Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer for reelection in an announcement made on Thursday.
It should be remembered that RINO Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, who oversaw early voting in Lake’s stolen 2022 election for governor, founded and operated the Pro-Democracy Republicans dark money PAC aimed at eliminating candidates with a MAGA agenda and admits to voting for Democrats last election cycle. Richer also sued Kari Lake, alleging defamation after she spoke out against him for the corrupt election and his serious conflicts of interest. He would seemingly like nothing more than to see Kari Lake lose.
Richer is set to face Justin Heap and Don Hiatt in the the July 30 GOP Primary for Maricopa County Recorder. The Gateway Pundit recently reported that Heap, who is endorsed by Kari Lake, Rep. Andy Biggs, and Rep. Paul Gosar, savaged Richer at a candidate forum hosted by the Palo Verde Republican Women’s Club’s May 15 luncheon with one simple prompt for the audience: Please raise your hand if you personally or someone you know received an extra ballot at your house during the last election cycle.
It was over for Richer, who oversees early voting and mail-in ballots in Maricopa County, when nearly half of the crowd raised their hand and exposed the corruption in Richer’s current system.
This is not the first time Ducey has endorsed the Anti-MAGA candidate in a race. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Ducey previously endorsed open-borders RINO Karrin Taylor Robson in the August 2022 Primary Election for Arizona Governor against Trump-Endorsed Kari Lake.
The Gateway Pundit recently outlined in another report that Kari Lake is leading by a landslide in the polls for Arizona’s Senate seat, but things may turn sour for the Trump-Endorsed candidate, who almost lost the 2022 primary to mass voter disenfranchisement and potential fraud, again.
It can be recalled The Gateway Pundit and Cygnal Polling conducted a poll of likely Republican voters weeks before Kari Lake’s August 2, 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary, which found that she led competitors by double digits. Then, shenanigans in the primary election made Lake’s race a nail-biter.
When the polls opened across Maricopa County, the printers were not working, and some voters were reportedly handed slips of paper with a phone number to call. Voters were also told to visit a different polling location if they wanted to have their vote counted. Some voters were reportedly told that they had already voted.
Other issues were discovered statewide, and Pinal County even ran out of ballots at polling locations and turned voters away from the polls. Prior to this, Pinal County sent 63,000 erroneous ballots to voters leading up to the August 2nd Primary Election.
Many saw these issues as a trial run for the 2022 general election, in which 60% of machines in Maricopa County failed on election day, and other irregularities were detected statewide. Kari Lake reportedly lost the General Election by less than 1% to corrupt Democrat Katie Hobbs, who oversaw the election as Secretary of State.
Yet Kari Lake's opponent, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, in a February 2023 Congressional Homeland Security Committee Hearing, said Trump lost his election and that he has “seen zero evidence” that election fraud had an impact in the 2020 election — even after the rigged midterms where irregularities occurred in his county during the Primary and General Elections, and 60% of machines in Maricopa County failed in the general election.
Ducey will presumably back Kari Lake's opponent, Mark Lamb, in the Senate Primary, and it appears the fix is in.
Richer released an extensive statement via email to voters and on X today:
-- GOVERNOR DUCEY ENDORSEMENT -- When I moved to Arizona at the end of 2015, the state had the best brand of Republican politics in the country. Principled conservatives of character and competence.
Our then-governor, Governor Doug Ducey, of course played a large role in setting that standard. And as I settled in and attended more political and professional events (especially a lot with the Arizona Chamber of Commerce), Governor Ducey repeatedly made promises that cemented this positive brand.
Governor Ducey promised to make Arizona one of the best business climates in the country (and he was succeeding).
Governor Ducey promised to keep Arizona out of late-night talk shows (and he was succeeding).
Governor Ducey promised an efficient, effective government that would improve government where it was needed, and remove government it where it wasn't needed (and he was succeeding).
Governor Ducey promised to avoid the personal controversies that had plagued so many politicians, including some Arizona politicians (and he was succeeding).
Governor Ducey promised a serious, professional approach to the Governor's Office that would resemble his work as a serious, professional CEO of a successful business (and he was succeeding).
Philosophically, my politics had been set long before moving to Arizona.
Since age 15 (weird?), I'd idolized the likes Milton Friedman, F.A. Hayek, Bill Buckley, and Richard Epstein (who as my teacher for two different degrees was ... a little different than his writings... Hi Professor Epstein if you're reading!!!). And I'd worked at places like American Enterprise Institute, Cato Institute, and the Washington Legal Foundation.
But in terms of elected officials, I had fewer north stars.
Governor Ducey became one.
And that's why I'm so proud that today he is endorsing my campaign for reelection.
"I'm endorsing Stephen Richer for reelection as Maricopa County Recorder because he is a conservative focused on efficient, lawful, and limited government.
As Recorder, Stephen led a massive voter roll cleanup and added safeguards into our county’s vote-by-mail process. And to protect homeowners from title fraud, he introduced the free Maricopa Title Alert service.
Stephen’s commitment to consistently improving government operations is what Maricopa County deserves; please join me in voting Richer for Recorder."
I'm very grateful to Governor Ducey's support of my ongoing efforts as Recorder to improve vote-by-mail, voter registration, and public document recording for Maricopa County.
And, as always, I'm grateful to you all for the opportunity to be in this role.

The jury returned a verdict in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial on Thursday: Guilty on all 34 counts!
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.
After deliberating for several hours on Thursday, the jury returned a guilty verdict after the judge rigged the trial by allowing jurors to choose which crime they believed Trump committed.
Trump is facing four years in prison for every count.
The sentencing was set for July 11 – Three days before the Republican convention!
Judge Merchan was informed there is no bail.
President Trump said the trial was rigged after the guilty verdict was announced.

“But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality “There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. “Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president,” Tyler continued.
“The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater.
“He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator ‘on day one’ and calling for our constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain and keep power.
“A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November.”
They always project their own actions.

Shortly after the verdict was announced, President Trump’s official website was updated with a bold and defiant message: “BREAKING NEWS: I’M A POLITICAL PRISONER!”
According to the fundraising email:
I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG!
They’ve raided my home, arrested me, took my mugshot, AND NOW THEY’VE JUST CONVICTED ME!

BUT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, OUR IMMEDIATE PUSHBACK MUST BE SO MASSIVE, IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY! WE MUST MAKE JOE BIDEN REGRET EVER COMING AFTER US!
The message was accompanied by a call to action for supporters to donate and stand against what Trump describes as the Deep State’s latest attempt to undermine his legacy and influence.
No matter how many vicious lies and attacks they throw our way, President Trump will NEVER SURRENDER our great country to the Left’s tyranny! But the Democrats will spend billions and billions of dollars to try and stop our movement, and we’re counting on YOUR support to finish what we started.
Together, we will DISMANTLE the Deep State, WIN BACK the White House, and SAVE AMERICA in 2024! Please consider completing your contribution today. Thank you!
Remember, YOUR SUPPORT IS THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN US AND TOTAL TYRANNY!
So I’m humbly asking for you to please, please, PLEASE join me at this dark hour.

So I need 10 MILLION TRUE MAGA PATRIOTS to chip in and proudly shout:

The new MAGA War Room ad is fire and highlights the legal abuse heaped upon him in the Marxist Democrat Party’s attempt to influence the 2024 election.
Democrats have thrown 91 charges against President Trump in their hopes of flipping the election to Old Joe Biden.
The ongoing New York City case has kept President Trump from the campaign trail for weeks now.
The ad highlights the countless incidents of political persecution at the highest level.
“The only crime Donald Trump is being prosecuted for is running for President.”
“They’ve quite frankly given up trying to beat him at the polls. (They’re) either going to steal it or stop it by lawfare.”
“This case is the weakest case I’ve seen in 60 years of teaching, practicing, and writing about criminal law.”
“They’re perverting the system of justice; that’s where the danger lies. The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left.”
The ad concludes with this powerful truth…despite the Marxist Democrats’ efforts in the courtroom, the only verdict that matters is the verdict at the ballot box.

Despite the prosecution’s failure to clearly define the alleged criminal act committed by President Trump, the court appears poised to find him guilty at all costs and send him to prison, irrespective of the evidence or lack thereof.

In a shocking twist that defies the principles of American jurisprudence, Judge Merchan instructed the jurors that they do not need to reach a unanimous decision on the specific “unlawful means” that Trump is accused of in the case. They just have to sense that he is guilty. This goes against all common law in US history.
Instead, the jury was given the liberty to select from three main options, effectively turning the process into a choose-your-own-adventure game of legal implications.

There’s something odd about the fact that Ukrainians mean to host a diplomatic meeting in Switzerland that supposedly is a ‘peace summit’ but that does NOT count with the presence of one of the warring parties.
Not only that, but the losing side appears determined to establish the conditions for peace – have they not heard that ‘history is written by the victor‘?
Whatever the rationale behind it, it is now becoming increasingly clear that the oncoming Ukraine ‘peace summit’ is developing into a big flop.
The fact that US President Joe Biden will probably not be present at the event led embattled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to ‘issue a warning’ over his non-attendance.
Newsweek reported:
“Biden’s absence from the talks on June 15 and 16—which will be aimed at developing a common understanding of a path toward a just and lasting peace in Ukraine—would be like giving Russian President Vladimir Putin a standing ovation, Zelensky told reporters during a press briefing in Brussels, Belgium.
Washington has said that the U.S. will participate in the summit but hasn’t said whether Biden will be attending. Bloomberg reported on May 23, citing people familiar with the matter, that the U.S. president will likely miss the event because it clashes with a campaign fundraiser in California.”
Russia hasn’t been invited to participate in the summit, China will only send a low-level civilian official, and Biden will apparently prefer the company of Hollywood celebrities to the optics of a failed war.
“‘If [Biden] is not present, it will be just like applauding Putin: personally applauding and doing so standing’, Zelensky said, as he urged as many countries as possible to participate in his peace summit.
‘I believe that the Peace Summit needs President Biden, and other leaders who are looking at the U.S. response also need him. If you want peace, you will be there and you will speak, even if you don’t agree with something. And if you want war, you will go to the mob that Russia wants to organize’.”
Out of the more than 160 delegations from around the world invited to join the peace summit, there have been 70 confirmations.
Euronews reported:
“Meanwhile, China and Brazil, two countries that the West has accused of failing to denounce Russia’s invasion, published last week a joint statement insisting on the need to include both Ukraine and Russia in any peace conference. Following Beijing’s policy, the statement did not mention the occupied territories in Eastern Ukraine.
‘All parties should create conditions for the resumption of direct dialogue and push for the de-escalation of the situation until the realisation of a comprehensive ceasefire’, the two countries wrote.
‘China and Brazil support an international peace conference held at a proper time that is recognised by both Russia and Ukraine, with equal participation of all parties as well as fair discussion of all peace plans’.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, a massive explosion blew out the ground floor of Realty Tower in Youngstown, Ohio, injuring seven people and killing a bank employee.
Initially, the cause of the explosion was said to be triggered by a natural gas leak.
However, Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley told the Associated Press that the explosion is still under investigation, and a cause has yet to be determined.
The man who died in the explosion has been identified as 27-year-old Chase Bank employee Akil Drake.
Drake’s body was discovered by first responders in the basement of the building.
21 WFMJ News was able to obtain bodycam footage from the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office showing first responders rescuing victims from the blast.

A high school in Kentucky withheld a Christian graduate’s diploma when he reportedly went off script during his graduation speech to praise Jesus and encourage others to seek Him.
As the New York Post reported Thursday, Micah Price gave a commencement speech at Campbell County High School in Alexandria, Ky., on May 24.
He reportedly was permitted to praise Jesus Christ by school officials but ended up ticking them off after asking other Christians to find God.
WKRC notes administrators approve the speeches that students rehearse.
“Class, before another word leaves my mouth, I must give the honor, the praise, and the glory to my lord and savior Jesus Christ,” Price began.
The crowd interrupted him with rousing applause before he continued spreading his religious message.
“He is the light, he is the way, the truth, and the life,” Price continued. “Class, everyone in the audience today, I’m here to tell you if you don’t have any of those things in your life, you can’t seem to find the answer, my lord and savior is your answer he will give you the truth, the way and the life.”
WATCH:
Price then revealed in a TikTok video on Sunday that school officials responded by scolding him and denying him his hard-earned diploma.
“After the speech was over, one of the principals came in, tapped me on the shoulder, very politely and professionally told me that I was going to have to go in front of the board and explain what I did because I went off script,” he said.

Superintendent Shelli Wilson defended the decision to withhold Price’s diploma in an interview with WKRC on Monday.
“All speakers were told that going off their submitted speech, or any unplanned choices at graduation, may have repercussions as they would at any school function,” Wilson said.
“Off-program choices such as speech, signs, and caps in support of any cause or religion, injecting inappropriate language, or political election statements could lead to something other than this outpouring of Christian faith,” she continued.

Op-ed by Wayne Allyn Root
I’ve been warning on my national TV and radio shows for many months about waves of “Red Dawn” terror attacks coming soon to the USA. My warning was not based on any inside information from the government. It was based only on my common sense and gut instincts.
That’s all changed. I now have high-level, inside information from my sources at the CIA confirming what’s coming.
Anyone can see that this O’Biden administration (led by zombie dementia puppet Joe Biden and his boss Obama- the real president) have opened the borders and waved the entire world in. And anyone with a brain knows that among the millions waved in, have been hundreds of thousands, if not millions of terrorists.
Just recently, the National Sheriffs Association claimed there are two million terrorists inside the USA. Please understand all it took was 2,000 terrorists on October 7th to invade Israel and murder, rape, burn, and behead 1,200 innocent souls.
Can you imagine what damage and death two million terrorists could do inside the USA?
That’s an army bigger than our entire combined armed forces (we have 1.3 million active-duty military).
That’s an army bigger than our entire combined police force in the USA (we have 800,000 combined police officers).
I’ve written many commentaries warning what they might have planned for America. My biggest fear is not another massive high-tech 9-11 terror attack. Although that may be coming.
My biggest fear is simple, low-tech attacks that are easy and inexpensive to carry out. I’ve even used the name “Red Damn” to describe what I see coming. Remember the movie “Red Dawn” starring Patrick Swayze? America was invaded by a foreign country (Russia).
Well, today there is no need for an invasion by our enemies. Because the invasion has already happened. Millions of terrorists and Chinese military age males are already inside the USA.
But what are they waiting for? Are they waiting for the right moment to create chaos for our upcoming presidential election?
Are they waiting for the moment China attacks Taiwan?
Are they training inside our country for the perfect moment for a coordinated “Red Dawn” terror attack?
Simple. Inexpensive. All our enemies would need to do is the following: Coordinate 50 groups of terrorists to walk into supermarkets, department stores, train stations, airport terminals, hotel lobbies, restaurants, nightclubs, theatres and schools. 50 groups at the exact same time, in 50 cities across the country. And start killing.
Who would stop them?
It’s already proven successful in Israel on October 7th. That’s the blueprint. By the time enough police, or military get to each terror scene there will be 100 dead, or more, at each scene. What if 100 Americans were murdered in 50 cities at the exact same time?
That’s 5,000 dead Americans.
America would be paralyzed. The economy would come to a standstill. The stock market would crash. No one would leave their house for weeks. Cities would become ghost towns. Our streets would be patrolled by military. This is how you collapse a powerful country.
And this would be easy to do. Just find 100 terrorists in 50 cities. That’s 5,000 terrorists. Armed with only pistols, rifles, and knives. Throw in a few grenades. Low tech.
Is finding 5,000 terrorists hard? It’s easy considering there may be two million terrorists inside the USA. Now keep in mind, this was all from my imagination.
But what if I told you my worst fears and nightmares have now been confirmed?
Days ago, my CIA sources called me to tell me the US government knows a “Red Dawn” terrorist attack is coming any day. That’s their exact words. “Red Dawn.” The CIA is scared to death. Yet they refuse to warn the American people.
Worse, they know exactly why it’s coming. This is the direct fault of the Biden administration. And I’m not even talking about the open border.
It turns out that when Biden (and his boss Obama) ordered the U.S. military retreat from Afghanistan (the worst retreat in US military history)…and ordered them to abandon their bases, leaving behind $85 billion dollars of equipment…guess what was left behind?
First, it appears they left behind sensitive information with names and addresses of US military “special operators” (ie Navy Seals, Green Berets, special forces). Which would explain the incident days ago, in North Carolina, where two Chechen utility contractors illegally in the U.S. were spotted with telephoto lens outside the home of a US Special Forces Major. The Major saw them taking photos of his children playing, confronted them and shot one dead.
How did these alleged terrorists know the name of this Major? How did they find his address? Why were they at his home taking photos of his children? How many families of special forces are in danger right now? Thank Joe Biden- he handed them that information.
But it gets worse.
The NSA in its haste to abandon Afghanistan under orders from Joe Biden (and his boss Obama) left behind sensitive equipment that creates and issues official U.S. passports.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Terrorist enemies of the US now have the capability to issue official U.S. passports to as many terrorists as they want, to come to America and commit mass murder. They don’t even need to sneak in over the open border. Now they can walk right into our country at any airport and breeze right through customs.
My CIA sources used the exact term “Red Dawn.” They know we are facing waves of “Red Dawn” terror attacks.
It’s no longer my imagination. The nightmare is reality. It’s coming any day now. Our government knows that. It’s their fault. They’re petrified with fear. And they refuse to warn the American people.
Consider this your warning.

A recent survey conducted by AmmunitionToGo.com at the 2024 National Rifle Association (NRA) Annual Meetings in Dallas, Texas, reveals a striking trend: a majority of NRA members are gearing up for potential civil unrest surrounding the upcoming presidential election.
The survey, which included nearly 1,000 respondents, revealed growing concerns among NRA members about the legitimacy of the 2020 election and the nation’s future stability. More than half of those polled were 50 years old or older.
An overwhelming 97% of survey respondents believe the Second Amendment was, in part, enshrined in the United States Constitution as a defensive mechanism against a tyrannical government. This belief underscores the deep-rooted conviction among NRA members about the fundamental purpose of their gun rights.
When it comes to what threatens the Second Amendment, NRA membership is split. That said, the concept of a gun owner database appears the most concerning to members among the more commonly discussed threats. Red flag laws and a renewed assault weapons ban follow. Currently, federal law prohibits a universal, national gun registry or database through the Brady Act.
The survey also suggests NRA members are more politically active than the average American, with 6 out of 10 surveyed members having contacted lawmakers about gun rights issues. This proactive approach to advocacy demonstrates the commitment of NRA members to protecting their Second Amendment rights.
Despite media reports of internal challenges within the NRA, 75% of respondents trust the organization to advocate for Second Amendment rights. However, 87% feel the NRA could do more, pointing to the high-profile case of Kyle Rittenhouse as an example of where they believe stronger advocacy was needed.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Marco Troper, the 19-year-old son of leftist former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, was found dead at the University of California, Berkeley back in February. Now, an autopsy report has finally revealed his cause of death.
The San Francisco Gate received the coroner’s report from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office which said that Troper died from an “accidental” drug overdose in his dorm. The teen had a wide range of drugs in his system when he perished, including alprazolam, which is often branded as Xanax, as well as cocaine, amphetamine, and hydroxyzine.
The report shows the levels of alprazolam and cocaine found in his bloodstream were likely high enough alone to cause death. THC, which is present in marijuana, was also present in his body.
The paper notes there was speculation regarding Troper ingesting fentanyl, but the autopsy did not find the deadly opioid in his system.
No foul play is suspected.
TGP previously revealed that Troper was found unresponsive in his dorm at the Clark Kerr Campus, a student housing complex, around 4:23 p.m. local time on February 13. Despite prompt life-saving attempts by the Berkeley Fire Department, Troper was pronounced dead at the scene.
His grandmother, Esther Wojcicki, said at the time that the family feared he had started taking drugs in college and speculated to the San Francisco Gate that one caused his death.
“He ingested a drug, and we don’t know what was in it,” she said. “One thing we do know, it was a drug.”
Troper was the son of Susan Wojcicki and tech executive Dennis Troper. Mrs. Wojcicki was the Youtube CEO from 2014 to 2023 and a huge Hillary Clinton supporter.
She resigned the day after the House Republicans issued subpoenas for Big Tech CEOs at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. Wojcicki was not listed on the list of subpoenaed CEOs despite YouTube being a subsidiary of Alphabet.
Under Wojcicki’s reign, she demanded governments censor the free speech rights of ordinary citizens and suspended President Trump from Youtube following the J6 protests.
“Our recommendations for governments who want to have more control over online speech is to pass laws to have that very cleanly and clearly define such that we can implement it. There are times we see the laws being implemented or being suggested that they are not very clean or possible for us to cleanly interpret them. And we’ve also seen laws just passed for the internet as opposed to for all speech. And I do think that’s a dangerous area when we start to get in and say oh sure you can say something like this for a magazine or on TV but you can’t say it on the internet,” she said.

In yet another alarming display of lawlessness in the heart of New York City, a man was brutally attacked with a machete in broad daylight in Times Square on Thursday.
The violent incident occurred outside a McDonald’s restaurant, according to New York Post.
The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, suffered severe stab wounds to both legs and was transported to a local hospital. He is reportedly in stable condition and expected to survive this horrific assault.
According to a recent report, the NYPD has successfully apprehended all three suspects believed to be responsible for this brutal attack.
A man was stabbed in both legs by three men wielding a machete outside of the Times Square McDonald’s around 1 p.m. today.
The victim, who was not identified, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, and is listed in stable condition.

Eyewitness accounts describe one of the suspects wearing blue jeans and a black shirt, accessorized with a backpack. Another was clad in a black hoodie emblazoned with the “Wu Tang Clan” logo, and the third suspect wore a gray hoodie paired with blue jeans.
Despite these descriptions, police have yet to make any arrests, adding to the growing frustration among New Yorkers over the apparent impunity with which criminals operate.
This latest episode is part of a troubling trend of violent crimes that are becoming all too common across New York City.
Residents and business owners are increasingly alarmed by the rise in assaults, robberies, and other criminal activities that are eroding the quality of life and stifling economic recovery in areas like Times Square that are crucial for the city’s tourism and entertainment industries.

The following comes from Kat’s Meow Substack account. It’s a discussion of recent events in the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF).
This particular move has the distinct odor of sneaky, back-room stuff. We were made aware of it by their latest victim.
As the RPOF chose their national delegates this past week, they managed to cut out a long-time party regular, RPOF National Committeeman, Peter Feaman, from meaningful committee assignments. His crime? He supports grassroots conservatives and Donald Trump.
Here is Mr. Feaman’s message about what went down, released Thurs., May 16.
“As an RPOF leader I thought you should be aware of what happened last week.
Now that we have chosen our Florida convention delegates, Republican National Committee (RNC) Rule 41 requires that all of the delegates meet in order to elect individuals to serve on the convention committees, including the Rules Committee and the all-important PLATFORM COMMITTEE.
Last week, your RPOF had its so called “election”. Except that there was no real election. There was a rubber-stamp of committee members pre-selected by an unknown cabal.
-HERE IS HOW IT WENT DOWN-
Last Tuesday, May 7, I had a phone conversation with Evan Power. In that conversation he made no mention of any upcoming Delegate phone call. I told him I was in Hawaii visiting family which is why I missed this past quarterly meeting. That is why I was very surprised to receive later on that same day an email announcing a telephone call for all delegates set for the following day at 6:00 pm. (Wednesday, May 8), less than 24 hours away. There was no mention in that email that there would be an “election” of committee members to be held during the call. I sent an email to Evan asking for an agenda for the telephone meeting, especially since we had just spoken and he knew I was in Hawaii, and he said nothing about a call the next day. I received no reply from Evan or anyone else.
The next day we received a reminder email about the call from Bill Helmich. The email mentioned only that the call was necessary for “some quick bookkeeping and information.” In hindsight, that description was purposefully misleading.
I then sent an email to Helmich asking him for an agenda. Again, I received no reply.
Then, less than 15 minutes before the phone conference the bombshell email arrived. The email said the phone conference would include “selection” of convention committee members “who have agreed to serve.” To my surprise, the list of pre-selected committee members was included.
This was not to be an election, as specifically required by RNC Rule 41. This call was meant to be a rubber-stamp of members already SECRETLY CHOSEN by the elites.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Kevin Cabrera as the male platform committee designee, (each convention committee must consist of one male and one female from each state). This was the same person who, only 3 months before, had failed in his bid to be RPOF Vice-Chairman. The Platform Committee will write the RNC Platform for the next 4 years.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Evan Power as the male representative on the Rules Committee. After having served for 12 years on the RNC Rules Committee and having served on the 2016 Convention Rules Committee, when we successfully fought off the Never-Trumpers, I naively thought I would be informed at some point about this.
RNC Rule 41 specifically requires an election by the convention delegation so that the convention committee members represent the majority consensus of each state’s convention delegation. Our delegation had no say other than to rubber-stamp those pre-selected.
After 20 years of leadership on the RPOF Executive Committee, one would think I should not have been so naïve as to think the Republican Party of Florida leadership would actually follow the RNC rules. Silly me.
Peter M. Feaman
RNC National Committeeman, Florida
2012-2024”
The message is very clear. NO ONE, even party regulars, WHO SUPPORTS GRASS ROOTS CONSERVATIVES – WHO HAPPEN TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP – IS WELCOME IN THE RPOF. I am guessing that Mr. Feaman had a clue about this when he tried to become the Party Chair.
Initial concerns from members of another Republican group in Florida – The Florida Republican Assembly (FRA) – were that the RPOF wanted to shut them down. After stepping back for a moment, it’s now feared that the actions of the RPOF in placing anti-Trumpers on National Convention committees is to derail President Trump’s RNC nomination.

A person has died after being ingested by a jet engine at Amsterdam Airport.
The incident took place on Wednesday on an aircraft run by Dutch airline KLM that was destined for Denmark.
The Daily Mail reported:
Officials investigating the death of a person who was sucked into a jet engine in Amsterdam yesterday are yet to identify whether the victim was a man or woman after their body was shredded by the spinning turbines. The unidentified victim was killed immediately when they were pulled into the KLM passenger plane’s engine at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport yesterday afternoon as it prepared for takeoff.
Passengers and crew members on board the Embraer 190 aircraft – which KLM uses for their Cityhopper service to nearby destinations – told local outlet De Telegraaf that a ‘hellish noise’ came from the engine, which quickly began trailing smoke. Emergency crews carried out a ‘massive’ response after the horror tragedy was reported around 3pm, with a picture posted by public broadcaster NOS showing the plane surrounded by fire trucks and ambulances.
Investigators from the Dutch military police have said that is was too early to say whether this was an ‘incident’, or a form of suicide, and in a press conference late last night said they were still trying to identify the sex of the victim.
In a statement from the Dutch airline KLM, the airline said it was “taking care” of passengers traumatized by the incident.
“A fatal incident took place at Schiphol today during which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine. Sadly, this person has died,” the statement read.
“The flight concerned was KL1341 bound for Billund. We are currently taking care of the passengers and employees who witnessed the incident at Schiphol. The circumstances are currently under investigation.”
Schiphol Airport also confirmed the incident on their X feed.
“Today there was a horrible incident where a person ended up in an airplane engine,” they wrote. “Our thoughts go out to the relatives and we care for the passengers and colleagues who witnessed this. The Royal Military Police is currently conducting an investigation.”
Vandaag is er een afschuwelijk incident geweest waarbij een persoon in een vliegtuigmotor is beland.

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously sided with the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Thursday, ruling that the New York State Department of Financial Services violated the NRA’s First Amendment rights by effectively blacklisting the group.
The decision, surprisingly authored by far-left Justice Sonia Sotomayor, affirmed that the NRA “plausibly alleged” that its free speech rights were stifled by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) under directives perceived to be politically motivated.
The case, rooted in actions taken by former DFS Superintendent Maria T. Vullo, has ignited fierce debates over the intersection of regulation and free speech.
Vullo, acting on what many conservatives see as a directive from former Governor Andrew Cuomo, issued “guidance letters” to financial institutions in 2018 which effectively coerced them into severing ties with the NRA.
These actions followed closely on the heels of the Parkland shooting and were justified by Vullo as measures to mitigate “reputational risks” associated with gun advocacy groups.
According to Fox News, “The NRA agreed to pay $2.5 million and to refrain from offering insurance in New York for five years.”
Justice Sotomayor’s opinion firmly states, “The judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is vacated, and the case remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
This significant rebuke overturns the Second Circuit’s dismissal of the NRA’s suit, enabling the organization to continue its legal battle against New York regulators who pressured insurers and bankers to cease business with the gun advocacy group.
“Today, the Court reaffirms what it said then: Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors. Petitioner National Rifle Association (NRA) plausibly alleges that respondent Maria Vullo did just that,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the decision.
“The NRA’s allegations, if true, highlight the constitutional concerns with the kind of intermediary strategy that Vullo purportedly adopted to target the NRA’s advocacy. Such a strategy allows government officials to “expand their regulatory jurisdiction to suppress the speech of organizations that they have no direct control over… Vullo allegedly used the power of her office to target gun promotion by going after the NRA’s business partners. Insurers in turn followed Vullo’s lead, fearing regulatory hostility.”
“Ultimately, the critical takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or, as alleged here, through private intermediaries,” Sotomayor added.

When asked what was in the trailer, the driver, Jose Guadalupe Salinas, claimed that there were two horses — but warned the officers that they were “aggressive.”
After warning them, Salinas voluntarily opened the trailer and revealed the smuggled migrants who were “distressed and sweating profusely.”
Lieutenant Chris Olivarez posted a video of the traffic stop on X and wrote, “Troopers discovered 27 illegal immigrants crammed inside a storage area, distressed and sweating profusely. Three females were severely dehydrated and required medical attention due to extreme heat and no ventilation.”

The Biden regime has finally decided to get super serious about cracking down on border crossings — provided the culprit is a canine.
The Vancouver Sun reported Thursday that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on August 1st will introduce onerous new rules for crossing an international border with dogs. The most significant change is the need to submit papers to the CDC days before a trip that proves their dog is healthy, has a valid microchip, and is vaccinated against rabies.
The papers must be submitted to the CDC at least ten days in advance of a trip.
More on the new rules from the Vancouver Sun:
Starting on Aug. 1, your dog must be at least six months old to travel to the U.S.
Since the tougher measures are primarily aimed at keeping the U.S. free of rabies, there is also a requirement that your dog not have been in one of over 100 countries in the previous six months where rabies is not under control.
There are several other variables, so the CDC has an app called DogBot to help navigate the upcoming rules that includes a list of those countries.
Illegal alien rapists and murderers can stream across the border with the Regime’s tacit approval, but Spot is the real security threat in their eyes.
As The Vancouver Sun notes, people were previously able to cross the border with their pet after answering a question from a border official, and possibly a request to see the dog’s vaccination record. Now, one must book an appointment with a veterinarian to have them fill out the new form.
Mark Belanger, a senior lawyer and principal of Border Solutions Law in Vancouver, told the paper the new law will be a vast “headache” for travelers who take their dogs across the border with them.
“A lot of people are going to be affected by this,” said Belanger.
The CDC says they are trying to keep the U.S. free of rabies, which is almost 100% fatal. The agency cited rabies outbreaks abroad and fraudulent documentation to back up its claims.
There are over 100 countries considered a significant threat for rabies. The paperwork will now be far longer, and there is a considerable chance your dog may not be allowed in the States after July from those countries.

Robert Kawada, 43, of Brookline, has been charged with poisoning, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a pregnant person, and assault and battery on a household or family member.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, Kawada and the victim, who has not been publicly identified, had met on a dating app in January and began dating.
Law&Crime reports:
In March, Kawada ended the relationship. But shortly thereafter, she learned she was pregnant. She told him she was pregnant with his baby, and the two began meeting to discuss plans. Kawada claimed to have knowledge about pregnancies because his ex-wife had a child, and his father was an OB-GYN. Once, Kawada gave her homemade raspberry leaf cookies, which are believed to induce labor and considered dangerous to eat during the first trimester because it could cause a miscarriage, police wrote.
The suspect would say she looked pale and inquire about her iron levels. Several times, Kawada gave her pills that he said were iron pills, the affidavit said. He allegedly would hold the pill between her cheeks and instruct her to let it dissolve as opposed to swallowing it. He also reportedly told her how often to take the pills. The woman told detectives with the Watertown Police Department that Kawada would pull on her cheeks to ensure she was ingesting the pills.
Once, she went to the bathroom, spit the pill out and saved others in a plastic bag. Kawada reportedly became angry when she told him she swallowed the pill. As she took the pills over several weeks, she had several painful cramps and bleeding. Kawada allegedly assured her everything was normal. She went to an OB-GYN appointment, and the doctor said the baby’s heartbeat was strong, and everything appeared normal.
Just before their last time seeing each other, the woman received a call from someone claiming to be a nurse, informing her that her iron levels were low. Shortly after, Kawada showed up with pills.
The “nurse” called again later that day, telling her to take more, which she did.
Kawada had repeatedly urged her to get an abortion, but she refused and informed him that she wanted to keep the baby. She even offered to raise it on her own.
“That night, she woke up with extreme cramps and felt a discharge,” Law&Crime reports. “She told detectives she felt as though she was having a miscarriage. After discovering the nurse who called her wasn’t a nurse and came from an internet number, she contacted her family about the situation. They had her call Watertown police on May 2. Medical personnel took her to a hospital where doctors confirmed she had a miscarriage, the affidavit said.”
The victim gave police one of the pills that Kawada had given her, which they were able to confirm was the abortion drug Misoprostol.
On Kawada’s phone, police found that he had been searching phrases such as “9 week aborted fetus pics” and “telephone voice changer.”
Kawada is currently being held on $100,000 bond.

Laura Loomer broke into the The War Room broadcast on Thursday to discuss her latest breaking news regarding Judge Merchan and his activist daughter who is raising money off of the ongoing Donald Trump trial.
Laura Loomer revealed on Thursday that Marxist Judge Juan Merchan is allowing his daughter’s clients access inside his lawfare trial against President Donald Trump.
It appears we found the criminal in this case. He’s the one in the robe.
Paul Ingrassia reported on Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren, back in April.
There is the scandal involving Merchan’s daughter. As brilliantly exposed by Laura Loomer, Merchan’s impartiality has been irreparably muddied by reports that his daughter, Loren, serves as President of an organization called “Authentic,” which describes itself as a “digital agency” that “partner[s] with clients to build award-winning programs for progressive causes and campaigns.”
The organization proudly boasts Kamala Harris and Adam Schiff, who pushed the debunked Steele dossier claiming Russian meddling in the 2016 election, as two of its most valued clients.
Other clients featured on the organization’s website are the Biden Harris Campaign, Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor Kathy Hochul, and Rep. Ilhan Omar, among countless other far-left progressive Democrats.
To occupy such a high leadership role in a group whose client is, incredulously, the “Biden Harris campaign” is the paradigmatic example of a conflict of interest. And not that further evidence to support a conflict would be needed, but Loomer’s research also uncovered that, per FEC public filings, Loren donated thousands of dollars directly to Democratic politicians.
On Thursday, Laura Loomer reported that Judge Merchan is allowing his daughter’s clients to have unrestricted access inside the Trump trial.
According to Laura Loomer:
JUDGE MERCHAN’S DAUGHTER LOREN MERCHAN’S CLIENTS FROM HER DEMOCRAT POLITICAL CONSULTING FIRM @Authentic_HQ HAVE BEEN GIVEN SEATS INSIDE THE TRUMP TRIAL IN NYC
Judge Merchan is now allowing his daughter’s clients to have unrestricted access inside the Trump Trial. His daughter, Loren Merchan, is a Democrat political consultant.
According to the Authentic Campaigns Website, which Loren Merchan is the President of, the anti-Trump Brennan Center for Justice is a client of Loren Merchan.
Joyce Vance @JoyceWhiteVance is a Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice @BrennanCenter , and she has been inside the Trump trial where she’s been writing articles for the Brennan Center for Justice, which target and harass the members of the jury in the Trump Trial. One day ago, Joyce Vance wrote and published this article titled, “Can We Trust The Jury In Trump’s Manhattan Trial?”
The Brennan Center for Justice hired Loren Merchan to manage their newsletter (See receipts below), which features articles from the Brennan Center for Justice website. Loren Merchan’s clients are now making money off of Loren’s father, and Loren is profiting off of her clients having seats inside the Trump Trial, because per her own website, Loren Merchan has increased the size of the Brennan Center’s newsletter by 204%!
Political email lists are worth MILLIONS of dollars.
Joyce Vance served as the US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama from 2009 to 2017. She was appointed by Barrack Hussein Obama.
ALSO EXCLUSIVE: Additionally, Susan Sachs Goldman, the mother of Democrat New York Congressman Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman is on the Board of Directors for the Brennan Center for Justice. As I previously *exclusively* reported, Rep. Goldman is also a client of Loren Merchan, he prepared @MichaelCohen212 for his testimony in the Trump trial per his admission on MSDNC, and Dan Goldman has sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to the personal home residence of Loren Merchan.
This is arguably jury intimidation in the way that Judge Merchan is having his daughter’s clients, who worked for Obama-Biden’s DOJ, come into the court room to write disparaging articles about the jury, which suggest they can’t make a decision on their own.

Senior aides within the Biden administration are moving towards supporting the use of American missiles to strike targets inside Russia.
According to a report from POLITICO, two senior administration officials have “opened the door” to reversing the current policy, which prohibits the Ukrainian military from firing missiles directly at targets within the Russian mainland.
The report states:
The move, if made, would come as European allies, lawmakers and Ukrainian officials exert pressure on the White House to lift the restrictions, and as Russia has made major advances on the battlefield. It also suggests that President Joe Biden and his team are increasingly worried about Kyiv’s ability to fend off Russia’s attacks, especially its latest advance in Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signaled the possible change during a visit to Moldova when pressed by reporters. A “hallmark” of the Biden administration’s approach toward Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion two years ago “has been to adapt as the conditions have changed, as the battlefield has changed, as what Russia does has changed.”
“We’ve adapted and adjusted, too, and we’ll continue to do that,” he continued.
Shortly afterward, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby, while stating that there’s “no change” in the current policy that says Ukraine can’t use U.S.-supplied weapons to strike inside Russian territory, also noted that America’s “support to Ukraine has evolved appropriately.”
The apparent shift comes just days after Secretary-General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, indicated his support for lifting the ban despite the obvious risks of escalation that propels the world into a Third World War.
“I think the time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they are put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine because, especially now when a lot the fighting is going on in Kharkiv, close to the border,” Stoltenberg said.
“To deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves.”
Earlier this month, the Ukrainian government sent a delegation to Washington with a view to persuading the Biden regime to reverse the ban. David Arahamiya, a Ukrainian MP who led the delegation, said that the current U.S. policy was a form of insanity.
“It’s like if somebody were to attack Washington, D.C., from the Virginia state, and you say we’re not going to hit Virginia for some reason,” he said. “It’s crazy. Military people, like generals, they don’t understand. So they are pushing us as politicians, like stop [the policy] this is insane.”
According to a recent report from Reuters, Russian President Vladimir Putin is willing to agree on a ceasefire in Ukraine along current battle lines. However, the U.S. and other NATO is currently no signs of taking him up on that offer.

President Trump is back in court on Thursday in the Marxist Democrat Party’s attempt to influence the 2024 election.
Democrats have thrown 91 charges against President Trump in their hopes to flip the election to Old Joe Biden.
The ongoing New York City case has kept President Trump from the campaign trail for weeks now.
Communist Judge Juan Merchan, an America-hating immigrant whose family is raising money off of the case, has ripped apart the US justice system in his efforts to Get Trump – much like communist Judge Alexandre de Moraes has done to the Brazilian legal system.
President Trump made comments on Thursday before entering Merchan’s kangaroo court.
President Trump: Thank you very much. Here we go again. Five weeks. I’ve been here, I’m gagged. I’d like to answer all of your questions. They’re very easy questions to answer, but I’m gagged, so I can’t talk as much as I would like to about this ridiculous case that’s hurting our country so badly.
Some of the reviews from yesterday are the… And by the way, everyone’s against this case. I haven’t seen one legal scholar or expert in the law saying that this case should have been filed. It should not have been filed, or at a minimum, it should have been filed seven years ago. At seven years old, everybody turned it down, including federal elections turned it down. Southern district turned it down. Bragg turned it down. Then he rejuvenated it when I was running for office. It’s a terrible thing. At the request of Biden.
The editors of the National Review saying, “Quit Trump. Bragg has failed to prove his charges.” Totally failed. Greg Jarrett. “Who exactly was defrauded? Voters who had already voted. Well, they already voted because all of the stuff came in after the elections. How were they defrauding?”
Then you say, What about Hillary with the dossier? What about all these other things that go? And this is nothing. This is nothing. But what about all of the corruption, the voter fraud that you’ve seen over the last year on behalf of the Democrats and Nobody talks about it. This is ridiculous what they’re talking about. This is called Running for Office.
Greg Jarrett, “The government which received full payment on all taxable income.” The government, by the way, received full payment. The taxes were paid in full. In fact, they make comment on that. Even if the taxes were paid in full, the Federal Elections Commission that concluded the money paid did not constitute a campaign contribution under the law.
And remember, this judge wouldn’t allow us. He’s a very conflicted judge. Everybody knows that you don’t want to talk about what the conflict was. I’m not allowed to talk about it because of the gang order that he put on me. It’s the one subject he really doesn’t want to talk about. There was no fraud. There was no conspiracy. It’s that simple. Moreover, without a primary crime, there can be no secondary crime. It’s a classic law fair weaponizing statutes because the law has been…
Elie Honig, legal analyst for CNN. “The crime here is not easy to explain or to understand. It’s just not understandable.” In other words, there is no crime. This is CNN. Katherine Christian from MSNBC, I call it MSDNC, Legal Analyst. “It’s difficult because it’s a very nuanced argument. It’s never been prosecuted before.” This is an argument that has never been prosecuted before, and hopefully, it’ll never be prosecuted again.
Andy McCarthy, “This is anything but standard. It’s the antithesis of standard, actually. The idea that they do not have to agree on what the other crime is. We spent six weeks wondering, What is the other crime? What is the other crime? At the end, the thud we all get is this. There’s three or four of them, and you could pick one from the other, and they don’t have to agree on anything.” What he’s saying is it’s so corrupt. Nobody’s ever heard of a thing like this. It’s called pick ’em. It’s like the ladder. Pick ’em. You pick You don’t have to be, even though in a criminal case, you have to be unanimous. You don’t have to be. Just give a couple of votes because the judge, unfortunately, is corrupt.
Judge Jeanine Pirro, “No one has heard of this. It’s like as a man, you call him A, B, or C. You don’t have to agree on it. This is a kangaroo court. This is unheard of. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve done this for 32 years. I’m not a federal prosecutor or a state prosecutor, so I know what I’m talking about. I’m not a federal judge. I’m a county judge, just like Bercia. This is New York law, and this is my wheelhouse. He is 100% wrong. He’s wrong. That’s what Jeanine Pirro, very good woman, very smart woman.
Jonathan Turley. “This is becoming a three-card Monty game on where is the crime?” Smart guy, where is the crime?
Mike Davis, “The US would sanction a country for doing this. I think that’s good. I think that’s good. Steve Hilton, it seems that every single Every single day, these proceedings go on. The judge and the prosecutor just go out of their way to prove Trump’s point.” I guess they are proving my point when you think. That’s why I write some of these things that are very sad.
Mark Levin, “This Stalinist-like case, it’s a Stalinist-like case. It has prevented President Trump for running for office. It has prevented him from campaigning. He’s unable to campaign because Because he’s been in a courthouse for five weeks.”
And yet we just had a poll came out, NPR. Trump’s 54, Biden’s 42. And that’s with independents. That’s the best we’ve ever had. They said this is the single best poll that Trump has ever had with independents. Trump’s largest lead among independent voters, NPR Marist College, 44, 28. And Junior is way, way, way down. But it’s He’s 44. Junior is extremely liberal. By the way, he’s extremely radical left. I think you know that. But he seems to be hurting Biden, probably a little bit.
So that’s it. It’s a disgrace. The millions and millions of dollars that are I spend daily on this case. Outside, it looks like it’s Fort Knox, like they’re guarding this. I’ve never seen so many police them. Now, with Columbia University, you can plant a tent right in front of the main door, no problem. Nyu, just put your tent up. Don’t worry about it. Over here.
I just want to say that this is a very sad day for America. The whole world is watching, and it’s a very sad day for New York. I’ve gone through two of these trials already with the same a judge. It’s all worked. It’s all rigged. The whole system is rigged. Judge Engoron was overturned five times in my case, and he’s going to be overturned again. We were treated very, very badly. The outside world is watching, and the outside world is just not going to bring their business to New York. That’s going to cost the city trillions and the state trillions and trillions of dollars businesses are leaving, and people are fleeing.

The U.S. Coast Guard has announced that it has seized close to 34,000 pounds of cocaine valued at $468 million within a span of a. month.
On Tuesday, Coast Guard officers were seen unloading the confiscated cocaine, which was seized between Feb 21st through March 23rd.
The drugs were seized by the Coast Guard off the coast of South America and Mexico.
Rear Admiral Andrew Sugimoto stated, “I am extremely proud of this crew and their dedication to disrupting organized crime in the Eastern Pacific.”
“The effort put in while interdicting more than 33,000 lbs of cocaine in a few weeks’ time is unparalleled,” added Sugimoto.

Per Fox 11 Los Angeles:
The United States Coast Guard announced that it seized nearly 34,000 pounds of cocaine — worth $468 million — in multiple incidents over the span of a month. The Coast Guard offloaded the tons of cocaine in San Diego on Tuesday.
The drugs were seized in seven separate busts off the coast of Mexico and Central and South America between Feb. 21 and March 23, the Coast Guard said, including a bust on March 17 where Coast Guardsman seized nearly 8,000 pounds of drugs.
“I am extremely proud of this crew and their dedication to disrupting organized crime in the Eastern Pacific,” Rear Admiral Andrew Sugimoto said. “The effort put in while interdicting more than 33,000 lbs of cocaine in a few weeks’ time is unparalleled.”
All eight busts were made by the Coast Guard Cutter Munro. Capt. Rula Deisher, the commanding officer of the Munro, said she “couldn’t be prouder of them. Their dedication and grit goes to show that Munro is one of the best national security cutters in the fleet, and we are committed to keeping the country safe by stopping illegal drugs before they hit the street.”

Against the background of the continuing rapid advances of Russian Federation troops all along the frontline, we’ve come to understand that the battles for cities, while relevant, are just a means to an end.
The endgame is the Russian war of attrition against Ukrainian troops and equipment – which would have concluded pretty fast if it was not for the massive Western aid consisting of funds, equipment, and training.
The way the Russians have begun to go about it lately is a strategy of ‘death by a thousand cuts’, in which they nibble about seeking weaknesses, exploit many of those these weak spots, making Ukraine scramble reinforcements to and fro, effectively outmaneuvering the exhausted defenders, trying to get them to the breaking point.
Having said that, every city siege has its own symbolic importance, and in the case of the Donetsk region key stronghold of Chasov Yar, it is expected that its conquest will allow Russian troops to immediately roll back defenders across significant amount of territory, as it was the case right after they took Avdeevka.

This battle is happening in the larger context of the ‘Yug Group of Forces’ clashing against de Ukrainian 79th Air Assault, 28th and 41st mechanized brigades in the Donestsk areas of Elizavetovka, Konstantinovka, and Chasov Yar.
Five days ago the Russian paratroopers managed a breakthrough up to the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, a body of water that defenders are fortifying behind.
Ukrainians reportedly deployed significant mechanized forces – to the tune of several dozen armored vehicles and tanks – along the canal.
So the besiegers have started to systematically target those defenders with air strikes, drones and artillery.

Russian troops also advanced along the forest belt and occupied the northern part of the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 nature reserve.
“Everything suggests that the AFU command is very hopeful that we don’t have enough reserves and is essentially playing all-in. It’s either do or die. Either they hold the main contour of the city defense, knocking us back behind the line of the canal and out of the Canal microdistrict, or we, having broken through to the Novy microdistrict, occupy this very contour and enter the city center with great chances for its rapid further liberation.”
Ukrainian soldiers are increasingly resorting to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
“Lack of troops and artillery, Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are increasingly relying on drones to drop explosives and supplies to hold Chasov Yar.”
The effectiveness of this tactic may be somewhat thwarted by superior Russian Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities.
Participating in the Chasov Yar defense is reportedly the Omega special unit, a part of the Foreign Legion within the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine.
Russian sources say it is just a front for the work of mercenaries, including from the French and Spanish legions.
British paper ‘The Times’ reports on a Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade that is fighting near Chasov Yar and has lost 40% of its fighters in two years.
The unit was decimated by losses, as well as illnesses and desertion. 90% of the brigade is made up by forcibly mobilized citizens of Ukraine.

The co-chair of Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Lisa Blunt Rochester, has claimed that Americans are struggling too much right now to realize his incredible achievements.
Blunt Rochester, who is also a Congresswoman from Delaware and is currently running for U.S. Senate, made the remarks during an interview with NBC’s Peter Alexander on Wednesday, who asked her about reports that the Biden campaign is struggling with black voters.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
ALEXANDER: So, Congresswoman, let me ask you specifically, then, I think the question is, if the campaign was in such good shape with black voters, as President Biden has done in the past so many times, why would it be using its most valuable resource, the President, to hold so many events, five events, targeting black voters in May of an election year?
BLUNT ROCHESTER: I think part of it is to show that we see how important that vote is. A lot of times, people feel like their vote doesn’t matter. A lot of people are going through a lot of struggles right now, coming out of the pandemic. And they are not even aware of the things that this administration has done to really uplift our communities.
ALEXANDER: Is that evidence of why we are seeing some of the erosion right now, the need to sort of better communicate that so they can bring those black voters back?
BLUNT ROCHESTER: Again, I think a lot of people have their own pains and things that they’re dealing with. And so, we want to make sure that we highlight the different investments that he has made, whether it is in our infrastructure and creating jobs, the lowest black unemployment rate in 50 years and probably ever, for us, investments in our black small businesses, which is why he was visiting small businesses today. When you look at the investment in education, the $16 billion for HBCUs, and also, student debt relief, which is one of the top issues that I hear about from black voters.
Her comments demonstrate the panic within the Biden camp following a shock poll from Rasmussen Reports that showed Donald Trump leading Joe Biden with black voters in both head-to-head and five-way matchups.

The bill, S.209, prohibits Vermont residents from possessing “unserialized firearms,” such as those created with 3D printers or kits purchased online.
According to a report from VT Digger, “The legislation does not prohibit home-built guns, but it does require that a Vermonter with an unserialized gun take it to a licensed firearms dealer, who can then conduct a proper background check and inscribe a serial number onto the weapon. It also establishes higher penalties for anyone who commits a crime while in possession of an unserialized firearm.”
While allowing the bill to become law on Tuesday, Governor Scott wrote a letter to legislatures saying he was allowing it to become law because, “As a public safety measure, I agree firearms should be serialized.”
Gov. Scott’s letter concluded, “Again, while my concerns on the practical impacts and enforceability keep me from signing this bill, I’m allowing it to go into law because I understand the fears behind access to untraceable firearms and respect the effort to tailor the scope and exceptions to limit impact for law abiding citizens.”
“To allow a bill to go into law without a signature is a middle-ground approach available to the governor — in between striking it down with a veto and endorsing it with a signature” VT Digger noted. “Scott holds the record for issuing the most gubernatorial vetoes in state history: 46.”
The bill was strongly opposed by Second Amendment defending organizations, including the Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs.
Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs President Chris Bradley told VT Digger that the group would let its current lawsuits challenging Vermont’s ban on high-capacity magazines and the state’s waiting period laws play out in court before challenging other “unconstitutional laws.”
“It is shameful that Vermonters have to sue to obtain rights which should have never been infringed upon in the first place,” Bradley wrote, “and it is sad that Vermonters are paying the (attorney general) to defend these unconstitutional infringements, and then have to repay our legal fees when, not if, we win.”
Vermont is now the 14th state to impose regulations on “ghost guns.”

The two Haitis seem to remain in a collision course.
In the first Haiti, the elegant political class in their salons keep making unelected political decisions about the future of the country, but these decisions don’t necessarily apply to the second Haiti, the real life one, in which the heavily armed rebel gangs have territorial domain over 80% of the capital Port-au-prince.
A clear image of just how dysfunctional the political situation in the Caribbean country has become can be gleaned by the fact that now, the unelected Transition Council has nominated the THIRD Prime Minister in just a month.
Yes, you read it right.
The latest choice, Prime Minister Garry Conille, has vowed ‘to seek unity’ in his first statement since selected to head the government.
Conille let us know who is pulling the strings: he thanked the ‘civil society groups’ (Globalist NGOs), political parties (Establishment) and members of the Haitian diaspora (Foreign Influences).
In fact, as a former UN official, he is as Globalist as one can be.
Associated Press reported:
“’Together, we will work for a better tomorrow for all the children of our nation’, he wrote on X, the social media platform, in Haitian Creole.
Conille submitted his resignation Tuesday as UNICEF’s regional director for Latin America and the Caribbean, a post he has held since January 2023. He previously served as prime minister of Haiti from October 2011 to May 2012 under then-President Michel Martelly and was former chief of staff to Bill Clinton in the ex-president’s role as U.N. special envoy to Haiti.”
To hear about the UN and the Clintons in the same paragraph dealing with Haiti is disturbing to say the least.
Conille helped coordinate reconstruction efforts after the 2010 earthquake, and served as a U.N. development specialist before becoming a regional director with UNICEF.
Haiti awaits the U.N. mission with a Kenyan police force to try to stabilize the security situation.
There hasn’t been an elected leader in Haiti since the July 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.
“In addition to choosing the prime minister, the transitional council is tasked with arranging presidential elections before early 2026.
On Wednesday, [the council] issued a statement noting that Conille was one of five prequalified candidates that they interviewed for one hour each on Tuesday, and that they are now working with him to choose a new Cabinet.
‘The transitional presidential council renews its firm determination to do everything possible to stem the phenomenon of insecurity and lead the country on the path to free, fair, democratic and inclusive elections’, it said.”
One hopes that Conille does not take the same path as former Prime Minister Ariel Henry – equally unelected – who was supposed to promote the transition, but remained in power until the rebel gangs exiled him, preventing him from returning to Haiti.

President Donald Trump is back in court today on Thursday in Juan Merchan’s kangaroo court in New York City.
The prosecution has yet to define the alleged criminal act that President Trump committed. But it doesn’t matter. The court is ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.
Judge Merchan told jurors they did not have to agree on a crime. They just had to agree something bad happened. This, of course, is completely unconstitutional.
It is indeed unconstitutional, @catturd2. In 1999, SCOTUS ruled in Richardson v United States that a jury must find a defendant unanimously guilty on a “specific violation” or charge.

Paul Ingrassia 9:31 AM: RECAP: Bragg combined two misdemeanor crimes to create a felony because both of their statutes of limitations expired.
The question of how, by combining these two crimes, it revives the falsification misdemeanor and elevates it to a felony, remains unanswered. A pivotal point that has gone overlooked — the statute in question is unclear, and does not expressly state, that two misdemeanors make a felony.
But even if that were somehow true, myriad other legal issues abound. First, the “smorgasbord of options” issue that Merchan described yesterday, in which the jurors were effectively licensed to “mix and match” different predicate crimes in order to help reach a guilty verdict.
The three “predicate crimes” were an FEC violation, and two tax-related violations. The problem with the FECA law is that this should not be an issue in a state court. State courts do not have jurisdiction to rule on Federal Election-related matters, which are highly complex and have their own separate set of rules. This is why President Trump’s counsel wanted to bring in an FEC expert witness. Even though the issue should not have been brought into state court in the first place, at the bare minimum, have an authority on election law to explain what these highly intricate laws mean and how they should be interpreted. Merchan is far from an expert in anything, especially federal election law. He’s an “acting” state court judge from a low-ranking law school. But of course he prevented that witness from testifying, because he is a tyrant and he alone has the ability, in his words, to say what the law is.
The other two “predicate crimes” — the tax filing violation and books and records violation — are so open-ended and ambiguous as to be impossible to rule on. However, even so, the underlying point stands: no jury is permitted to select a buffet of different crimes to more easily satisfy the burden of proof to fast-track a guilty verdict.
This is a violation of due process, which the Supreme Court has been crystal clear. It is also likely jury tampering, which Merchan has done shamelessly. He would not provide the jurors with written instructions in order to have exclusive control over the law, its application, and interpretation.
Every single aspect of this case has been tainted by impropriety, prejudice, flagrant ethical breaches, and rule violations of the most egregious and highest order. President Trump’s fundamental constitutional rights, including due process and the right to speak freely, have been denied by this so-called Judge with impunity. Whatever the verdict, any right-minded appeals court will toss this case out without a second thought — because the violations are so blatant from top to bottom.
RECAP: Bragg combined two misdemeanor crimes to create a felony because both of their statutes of limitations expired.
The question of how, by combining these two crimes, it revives the falsification misdemeanor and elevates it to a felony, remains unanswered. A pivotal point… https://t.co/wYHHBpiI0R

Paul Ingrassia 9:47 AM: BREAKING: Merchan is doubling down on his commitment to not provide the jury with written instructions, which is not customary for most courts.
In a case as convoluted as this one, in particular, where most lawyers and veteran legal analysts have difficulties wrapping their heads around the law, it is unfathomable why Merchan would only want to further complicate things by not providing written jury instructions.
His motive is clear: like any tyrant, he alone wants complete control over the law, and how it should be applied. This is a subtle form of jury tampering. He is intimidating the jurors, 10 of 12 of whom are not lawyers, into pressuring them to seek advisement from Merchan, who can then guide the verdict in the way he thinks is best by telling them how the law must be interpreted.

Paul Ingrassia 10:05 AM: BREAKING: Merchan now describing the burden of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, to the jury. Explains that the burden of proof is on the People, not the Defendant.
Now mumbles and rushes through the definition of a burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Merchan effectively lowered the burden of proof in this case by giving the jurors “options” of crimes to choose from, in order to elevate the underlying falsification crime from a misdemeanor to a felony.
This is a flagrant violation of due process because it violates the principle of jury unanimity. As @JeffClarkUS rightly pointed out on here a few days ago: “Merchan needs to acquaint himself with Ramos v. Louisiana from the U.S. Supreme Court,” which spells out these principles clearly and concisely — two words that were evidently lost in translation on Merchan when he migrated to the United States from Colombia.

Paul Ingrassia 10:35 AM: BREAKING: Just a few short years ago it would’ve been unthinkable for an independent journalist like myself to cut against the narrative being pushed by the mainstream media that is working in tandem with Merchan’s court and Biden’s administration, to interfere with the 2024 election. For that reason, we all are indebted to @elonmusk for the courageous and noble task he undertook to purchase @X and fight every single day to keep this platform free, to the best of his abilities.
Without @X, the broader public would be in the dark about the truth of what is happening. We all would be completely dependent on the opinions of far left media pundits like Joy Reid, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Anderson Cooper – all of whom received front row, priority seats by Merchan’s court to shape the narrative for this show trial (in sharp contrast with commentators from right-leaning alternative networks like @NEWSMAX, @RealAmVoice, @RSBNetwork, @OANN, and even @FoxNews, including high-profile journalists with sizable platforms, all of whom were relegated to the overhead press room, if they had access to the courtroom at all – many were denied). The fact that Biden Regime apparatchiks like Jen “circle back” Psaki, and two of the architects of all the lawfare against President Trump – Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissman – also received preferential access to the courtroom is utterly unconscionable, yet further proof of Biden’s direct involvement in this show trial.
It’s easy to forget the tremendous damage that can be done to society by giving a malicious cabal of left-wing activists posing as “mainstream journalists” complete and total control over the narrative, particularly on a story like the Trump Show Trial, one of not just national but global importance.
After all, it was the Joy Reids and Norm Eisens of the world who brainwashed large swathes of the public into believing the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrators at the Capitol on January 6th 2021, committed “Insurrection,” or that the 2020 presidential election was somehow the “most secure” election in American history (even though nobody can explain why Biden, the most “popular” president, also suffers from the lowest approval ratings in history).
It’s false narratives like these that provided the grounds, ultimately, for the investigations, indictments, and show trials against President Trump, and his legions of supporters, that persist to this day — the real reason for the travesty of justice now occurring in Merchan’s kangaroo courthouse.
This further demonstrates the importance of @X in opening the proverbial floodgates for independent journalists to hold the legacy media accountable, which are, for all intents and purposes, rank propagandists (and not very good ones) for the Biden Regime.
Although @X has made substantial inroads toward getting the truth out, serious problems remain on this platform. Importantly, the voices of honest journalists like myself, @AndrewHGiuliani, @JonathanTurley, @AndrewCMcCarthy, and others here, are still being throttled, shadow banned, and in some cases, outright censored by nefarious shadow actors operating nefariously behind closed doors.
It is thus of critical importance that we ring the alarm bells, and make sure this issue front and center for @elonmusk, so his team can review the throttling – both in terms of viewership and financially – and do everything possible to ensure his platform remains open to all voices, including those who have sacrificed the most to tell the truth.

President Trump looks aggravated, and you can’t blame him.

The “icebox” courtroom remains dark; the blinds are closed, allowing little sunlight in. The courtroom, which is old and needs a serious refurbishing, is lit by stark fluorescent lighting. The seats on which jurors and members of the public sit are hard and uncomfortable. The air doesn’t filter well, resulting in a stuffy courtroom and miserable experience for everyone in attendance.

President Trump’s invitees, as well as the members of the public, are visible, but more difficult to make out. I cannot see any of the jurors, because the court wants to protect their identities — which is odd, given that some members of the press, like Anderson Cooper and Lawrence O’Donnell, have preferential access to the courtroom itself and can see everything going on.

Paul Ingrassia 11:24 AM: BREAKING: One of the jurors appears partial to Donald Trump. And frankly, how couldn’t at least one be? Even in deep blue Manhattan, there are still countless Trump supporters — just look how many confronted washed-up actor Robert DeNiro when he made a pathetic display outside the courthouse two days ago as a favor for his buddy, Joe Biden.
In a jury pool of 12, assuming 90% of Manhattan is Democrat, should mean that at least 1 or 2 voted for President Trump in 2020. Granted, the voir dire process always favors the prosecutor’s say over who should be impaneled, particularly so with a biased judge like Merchan. That said, it’s very difficult to believe that you won’t find at least one or two jurors who also think this is a farce and show trial. Remember, we only need 1 for a hung jury.
Based on a report I heard from earlier today, 8 of the 12 are dyed-in-the-wool liberals. Circumstantial evidence of this is found in their news consumption habits: at least eight cited the NY Times as their go-to source for news.
All that said, it’s still incredulous that all twelve would be anti-Trump, or at least suffer from clinical TDS as to remain oblivious to the obvious errors that are riven throughout this proceeding. Again, you only need 1!

Paul Ingrassia 11:50 AM: BREAKING: How is it that an alleged FECA violation could serve as a predicate for a federal crime in a state court?
Merchan’s holier-than-thou approach to judging, in which he believes he can be all three of judge, jury, and executioner of this entire case, is grounds for an investigation. He is bringing in laws on which he has zero grounds at all to form a judgment about. Federal campaign law is entirely outside his purview and jurisdiction. So too is something as open-ended as “tax law violations,” which are equally complicated and fall outside the realm of his highly limited jurisdiction as an acting state court judge.
Some other thorny and problematic legal issues not given enough attention:
First, to the extent they normally have exclusive jurisdiction over enforcing their own rules, does the FEC have the ability to bring CRIMINAL (not just civil) charges against the alleged perpetrator, and if so, can they do it on their own? (And not, for example, by first getting approval through the DOJ?)
Second, how is it that an alleged state election law violation can be brought against President Trump at all? Didn’t he run for President? Last I checked, the President is a federal, not state, office. Moreover, how is it that the state election law is being used to incorporate the three predicate offenses into this proceeding? T
hird, where in the statute that allegedly serves as the basis for Bragg and Merchan’s entire theory of criminal liability against President Trump, allowing them to magically make felonies of misdemeanors, says that you can do just that? First, what law is implicated here? Second, where in the law does it say a class A misdemeanor, having expired due to the statute of limitations, can be raised to a class E felony once accompanied with a predicate crime? I’ve noticed many commentators, including conservatives, taking this assumption for granted: that misdemeanors can be made into felonies willy-nilly based on what the judge says, but that’s far from true. There is no direct link: logically it doesn’t work out, and a close reading of the applicable statutes would show that to be true.
We shouldn’t jump the gun and assume what isn’t true, because we run the risk of accepting narratives contrived, for nefarious purposes, by Biden Regime-approved judges like Merchan, or talking heads like Andrew Weissman and Norm Eisen! The lesson is to be extremely scrupulous and thorough!

The post LIVE UPDATES FROM NYC TRUMP TRIAL: The Gateway Pundit Contributor Paul Ingrassia Reports from Judge Merchan’s Kangaroo Courthouse – Jury Deliberations Continue appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
California State Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton) publicly criticized her own Democratic party for their stance on legislation designed to combat child sex trafficking.
The controversy centers on Senate Bill 1414 (SB 1414), which was debated in the California Senate last Thursday, May 23rd.
SB 1414, introduced by Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield), aims to make soliciting sex from a minor a felony.
This measure aims to address the issue of child sex trafficking by imposing harsher penalties on those who purchase sex from minors.
Currently, solicitation of a minor for sex is classified as a misdemeanor, which can result in a maximum penalty of one year in county jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
SB 1414 proposes upgrading this crime to a felony, with penalties including a prison sentence of 2 to 4 years and a fine of up to $25,000. The bill also mandates registration as a sex offender for those convicted of this offense.
However, the Senate Public Safety Committee’s amendments have diluted the bill’s original intent. The committee proposed reducing the severity of penalties for offenders soliciting older minors (16- and 17-year-olds), an action that has been met with strong disapproval from advocates of the bill who believe it undermines efforts to protect all minors from exploitation.
“Selling sex has been within human cultures for millennia. It is a very difficult area of law to get into,” said Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley).
During the hearing, Democrat State Senator Susan Talamantes Eggman delivered an explosive rebuke of her own party’s stance.
“I’d like to say, as a progressive, proud member of this body for the last 12 years, I’m done. I’m done with us protecting people who would buy and abuse our children,” she said.
“I don’t want more people in prison, but I don’t want people buying girls. I don’t want people buying little girls anymore.”
Eggman, who is also a mental health professional and social worker, spoke about her experiences working with individuals deeply wounded by abuse.
“I can tell you, I’ve spent my entire career working with people who have been wounded… by the abuse that’s been heaped on them, oftentimes by those that they love and look to protect them,” she said. “If their parents won’t do it, then by God, we should.”
Eggman continued her explosive speech by affirming the need for a moral stand against child exploitation.
“Again, I am not arguing that we open the gates to flood our prisons with people, but I am arguing that we have a moral responsibility to say, enough, enough. We have given away enough on this area, and we’ve got to move back into the center, or we all look like fools and laughing stocks, and what do we stand for?”
She concluded her explosive speech by urging her colleagues to prioritize child protection and reject the status quo.
“But the rest of you who are going to be here for a while, let’s get our stuff together and really start focusing on some of the important things. We talk about learning, and we talk about being safe. This is like at the core of it. And a lot of these kids can be throwaway kids,” she said.
“They’re poor kids, they’re kids of color, but they shouldn’t have to live a life determined by what happens to them by others at a very young age and by having the Democratic Party of California say, it’s okay. It’s not okay. And I’m not doing it anymore. And I hope none of you do, too. We have to be able to draw a line. And for me, I’m drawing a line. I urge your aye vote.”
Hat Tip Cramer Sez.
HOLY SH*T!!!

Several prominent far-left ‘social justice’ organizations have positioned themselves against the bill designed to escalate penalties for those convicted of purchasing or soliciting sex from minors.
These groups, often advocating for broad criminal justice reform and reduced incarceration, argue that the bill might disproportionately impact marginalized communities and lead to increased prison populations.
The organizations opposing the bill include:
We are finding out what evil is really like. It can be recalled that Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law that protects sex offenders who have sex with minors of the same sex.
California Senate Bill 145 was signed into law in 2020 and addresses the state’s sex offender registry laws, specifically regarding young LGBTQ+ individuals.
The bill, authored by State Senator Scott Wiener, aims to eliminate discrimination against LGBTQ+ youth by allowing judges to have the same discretion in cases of oral and anal sex as they do with vaginal intercourse involving minors aged 14 to 17 and adults within a 10-year age range.
In other words, Scott Wiener is arguing that a 14-year-old boy can actually consent to sex with a 24-year-old grown man (predator).
Democrats truly are perverted. They love criminals and crime!

We learned a week ago that the FBI was authorized to use deadly force at Mar-a-Lago when agents raided the President’s home in an uncalled for and unprecedented raid.
Julie Kelly Reports New Revelations about the Mar-A Lago Raid
In a nutshell..
• The FBI authorized the use of deadly force
• Agents were prepared to engage in with Trump and his Secret Service team
• they had an onsite medical team available in case it got deadly
The FBI risked the lives of Donald Trump, his family, his staff, and MAL guests for a publicity stunt to make it look like Trump stole national security files.
People need to be arrested for this.

The far-left communists who are using corrupt courts to put President Trump in prison, say that it was standard practice to use lethal force against the President of the United States when the FBI raids his home and steals documents from the President. However, Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service Agent, shared that nothing about the raid on Mar-a-Lago was standard.
If there is anyone more qualified to comment on this I do not know about them.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei released a letter this week to American college students who staged campus protests against Israel and the United States after the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas, praising their protests as part of an international “Resistance Front” and encouraging them to “become familiar with the Quran.” The Islamist regime in Tehran is a state sponsor of terrorism and main supporter of Hamas.
The campus protests, held mainly at expensive elite colleges and universities with a large foreign student body, were a joint effort of communist and Islamist groups fomenting hatred of Israel and Jews, and revolution in the United States.
Many of the campus occupation encampments featured daily calls to Islamic prayer sessions and Marxist indoctrination chants.
Khamenei’s letter is a bold effort to by the Iranian government to openly foment revolution within the United States in the face of a weak, appeasing Joe Biden.

“In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I am writing this letter to the young people whose awakened conscience has moved them to defend the oppressed women and children of Gaza.
Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it.
You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle in the face of your government’s ruthless pressure—a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime.
The greater Resistance Front which shares the same understandings and feelings that you have today, has been engaged in the same struggle for many years in a place far from you. The goal of this struggle is to put an end to the blatant oppression that the brutal Zionist terrorist network has inflicted on the Palestinian nation for many years. After seizing their country, the Zionist regime has subjected them to the harshest of pressures and tortures.
The apartheid Zionist regime’s genocide today is the continuation of extreme oppressive behavior which has been going on for decades. Palestine is an independent land with a long history. It is a nation comprised of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
After the World War, the capitalist Zionist network gradually imported several thousand terrorists into this land with the help of the British government. These terrorists attacked cities and villages, murdered tens of thousands of people and pushed out multitudes into neighboring countries. They seized their homes, businesses and farmlands, formed a government in the usurped land of Palestine and called it Israel.
After England’s initial help, the United States became the greatest supporter of this usurper regime, ceaselessly providing it with political, economic and military support. In an act of unforgivable recklessness, the United States even opened the way and provided assistance for the regime’s production of nuclear weapons.
The Zionist regime used an iron-fist policy against the defenseless people of Palestine from the very beginning and has, day by day, intensified its brutality, terror and repression in complete disregard of all moral, human and religious values.
The United States government and its allies refused to even frown upon this state terrorism and ongoing oppression. And today, some remarks by the US government regarding the horrific crimes taking place in Gaza are more hypocritical than real.
The Resistance Front emerged from this dark environment of despair, and the establishment of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran expanded and fortified it.
The global Zionist elite – who owns most US and European media corporations or influences them through funding and bribery – has labeled this courageous, humane resistance movement as “terrorism”.
Can one call a people a terrorist nation for defending themselves on their own land against the crimes of the occupying Zionists? And is helping such a nation and strengthening it, an act of terrorism?
The oppressive leaders of global hegemony mercilessly distort even the most basic human concepts. They portray the ruthless, terrorist Israeli regime as acting in self-defense – yet they portray the Palestinian Resistance which defends its freedom, security and the right to self-determination, as terrorists!
I would like to assure you that today the circumstances are changing. A different fate awaits the important region of West Asia. The people’s conscience has awakened on a global scale, and the truth is coming to light.
Moreover, the Resistance Front has grown in strength and will become even stronger.
And history is turning a page.
Besides you students from dozens of American universities, there have also been uprisings in other countries among academics and the general public.
The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development. This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you. I too am among those who empathize with you young people, and value your perseverance.
The Quran’s lesson for us Muslims and all of humanity, is to stand up for that which is right: “So be steadfast as you have been commanded” (11:112).
The Quran’s lesson for human relations is: “Do not oppress and do not be oppressed” (2:279).
The Resistance Front advances by a comprehensive understanding and the practice of these and hundreds of other such commands – and will attain victory with the permission of God.
My advice to you is to become familiar with the Quran.”

US Border Patrol agents seized two backpacks filled with guns earlier this month near the US Canadian border.
The suspects fled back into Canada before they were captured.
How many others were able to pass freely into the US under Joe Biden?
The Star Tribune reported:
Two people slipped into eastern North Dakota from Canada, abandoned three backpacks jammed with dozens of guns and fled back over the border without capture, federal officials said Wednesday.
A report of suspicious activity led U.S. Border Patrol agents and their dog assigned to the Grand Forks, N.D., sector’s Pembina station made the discovery in the early hours of May 15 near Neche, just south of Canada and about 16 miles west of North Dakota’s border with Minnesota.
The agents arrived to the location and saw two people fleeing, said Steven Bansbach, spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. With the help of their dog, Odin, the agents found the backpacks, which held 65 handguns, 65 pistol magazines, two rifles, a silencer and two rifle magazines.
“The two people absconded back to Canada before we were able to get a description,” Bansbach said.

Far left author John Grisham fantasized about the writing a new book about assassinating Supreme Court Justices with the devils on The View on Wednesday morning.

This comes a year after a young leftist attempted an assassination of Justice Kavanaugh and his family at his home.
Police captured the man outside of the Kavanaugh home before he could commit the mass murder.
And, just a year later, this show is still targeting conservative justices and fantasizing about assassinations!
Here is the transcript from this segment.
Joy Behar: There's some scandals plaguing the Supreme Court. Do you have any thoughts on that? And maybe write a book or ever make a movie out of that?
John Grisham: I wrote a great book called The Pelican Brief. (audience cheers) In which two Supreme Court justices were assassinated.
Joy Behar: I know. Yes.
John Grisham: And I thought about doing it again.
(Audience laughs)
Whoopi Goldberg: He's talking about writing part two. It's all fiction.
Joy Behar: It's just fiction, it's made-up stories.

A new poll from Roanoke College finds Donald Trump tied with Joe Biden in Virginia.
This is the real reason that Democrats and the media are so desperate to put Trump in jail. He is outperforming recent Republican candidates in places where Democrats believe they have locked the population into voting blue forever.
The truth is that although Virginia has not voted Republican in a presidential race since 2004, prior to that, the state voted red in every presidential election going back to 1968.
Trump could definitely flip Virginia back to red in November.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Donald Trump may have a shot at winning Virginia
The last time the Commonwealth of Virginia supported a Republican presidential candidate was in 2004, when then-President George W. Bush capped off 10 consecutive wins for the GOP in the Old Dominion, but former President Donald Trump has a shot at reversing that trend this November.
Once considered a perennial swing state, Virginia has tilted ever so slightly toward the Democratic Party in recent elections. Former President Barack Obama won the state in 2008 and in 2012, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton carried the state in her losing campaign in 2016, and President Joe Biden won the state in 2020 by a 10-point margin. In statewide elections, Republicans have fared slightly better, winning races for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general in 2009 and 2021, while Democrats won the same positions in 2013 and 2017. Democrats have held both Senate seats since 2006…
It is amid this backdrop that a new poll from Roanoke College shows the presidential election in the state tied. Biden and Trump both registered 42% support in the new poll, while the president opens up a slim 2-point advantage when third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Jill Stein are included.
For a state that has hardly been competitive for Republicans in recent cycles, the poll results are nothing short of astounding. If Biden fails to carry Virginia in November, his path to 270 electoral votes and a second term in the White House is practically nonexistent, given his polling in other swing states.
See the full poll results here.
According to Decision Desk, Trump has a better chance of winning Virginia than Biden has of winning Florida

Over a dozen law enforcement departments in Colorado are planning to dispatch drones instead of officers to respond to specific 911 calls.
The Denver Police Department and several other law enforcement agencies in Colorado plan to dispatch drones instead of officers in situations where drones can provide information about the incident before officers are called to the scene.
The Denver Post reported that in some cases, the drone would be the only response to some incidents if an operator can determine from the air that officers don’t need to respond.
Sgt. Jeremiah Gates, who is in charge of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office, stated, “This really is the future of law enforcement at some point, whether we like it or not.”
Picture this: You call 911 and a drone comes whirring to your door instead of a police officer.

Per The New York Post:
Several local law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including the Denver Police Department (DPD), are planning to start dispatching drones instead of officers to respond to 911 calls.
“This really is the future of law enforcement at some point, whether we like it or not,” Sgt. Jeremiah Gates, who leads the drone unit at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, told The Denver Post.
At least 20 agencies in Colorado’s Front Range already use drone technology for certain tasks, like searching for missing people, tracking fleeing suspects, mapping crime scenes or overhead surveillance during SWAT operations.
Now the sheriff’s office is considering using them to respond to some 911 calls in situations where the drones might be able to provide useful information from the location of an incident before officers are deployed.
Police departments are not the only ones using drones; criminals are using them too.
The Gateway Pundit reported in March that Georgia Law Enforcement authorities arrested 150 people for operating a drone-based operation that smuggled guns, drugs, and cell phones into Georgia prisons.

CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten examined Trump’s approval numbers with regard to the sham NYC trial and found that the Democrat circus is not affecting Trump with the public at all.
Democrats were hoping that the trial would make Trump look toxic to the public. They have failed.
The problem for Democrats and the media is that everyone knows this trial is purely political and all about the 2024 election.
Breitbart News reports:
CNN’s Enten: ‘No Change’ In Public Opinion About Trump During New York Trial, People ‘Don’t Really Care’
CNN poll analyst Harry Enten said Wednesday on “News Central” that polling shows most voters don’t care about the New York business records case against former President Donald Trump.
Enten said, “It feels like only yesterday to me, John, that it began, but apparently, it is 44 days. You crack the numbers, you’ve run the numbers. All right, let’s take a look here…
He added, “Simply put, they have not. Pre-opening statements think Trump did something illegal, 46%. After the direct examination of Michael Cohen by the prosecution, look at where we are now, 46%. The percentage of Americans who think that the charges are very serious, in fact, dropped from 40% to a little bit more than and 35% during the course of this trial. So, yes, perhaps things might have changed with those 12 jurors, but when it comes to the larger American public, there has been no change.”

A recent map has revealed the alarming trend of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) acquiring vast swaths of American farmland, raising serious national security concerns.
Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land expanded to approximately 43.4 million acres in 2022, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
According to the USDA, Chinese investors’ ownership of U.S. agricultural land has skyrocketed from merely 13,720 acres in 2010 to an astounding 346,915 acres by 2022 out of the 43 million acres.
Chinese entities hold ownership of farmland across 29 of the 50 U.S. states.
According to the data reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Canadian investors hold the largest share of foreign-owned agricultural and non-agricultural land in the U.S., owning 32 percent or 14.2 million acres.
Additionally, investors from four other countries—Netherlands (12 percent), Italy (6 percent), the United Kingdom (6 percent), and Germany (5 percent)—together possess another 13 million acres, accounting for 29 percent of all foreign-held land in the U.S.
The remaining 38 percent, or 17.1 million acres, are owned by various other countries. For instance, China owns 346,915 acres, representing just under 1 percent of the foreign-held acres.
Despite Chinese entities owning less than 1 percent of the foreign-held agricultural land in the U.S., the topic has garnered significant attention.
According to USDA:
Chinese primary-investor filers reported owning 346,915 acres of agricultural land as of December 31, 2022.
Two Chinese-owned companies—Brazos Highland Properties, LP and Murphy Brown LLC (Smithfield Foods)—reported 102,345 acres and 97,975 acres, respectively, and were by far the largest Chinese reporters.
Other top Chinese-owned reporters were Murphy Brown of Missouri (Smithfield Foods) (42,716 acres); Harvest Texas, LLC (29,705 acres); and Walton International Group (USA), Inc. (29,437 acres) (Report 10).
These five companies accounted for 87 percent of all reported Chinese holdings. There were no filings directly by the government of China. Chinese investments in U.S. agricultural land are spread across the country (figure 4).
The states with the largest Chinese holdings are Texas (159,640 acres); North Carolina (44,776 acres); Missouri (43,071 acres); Utah (32,447 acres); and Virginia (14,382 acres) (Report 11).
Together, these five states had 85 percent of Chinese filings associated with U.S. agricultural land. In Texas, in particular, long-term leases associated with wind energy investment predominate, while land ownership tends to be more common in other states.
Chinese entities acquiring farmland in close proximity to critical U.S. military installations have sparked growing concerns, posing potential national security risks.
An alarming instance involves a Chinese company, Fufeng USA, acquiring 365 acres of farmland near the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota.
The parcel of land’s location near a US Air Force base that houses sensitive drone technology has lawmakers on Capitol Hill worried about potential espionage by Beijing.
The Fufeng Group also purchased a corn mill near Grand Forks. Local citizens are rightly concerned with this new project in their backyard.
Also, a report by CNN in 2022 revealed China has placed Huawei equipment atop cell towers on purchased farm land near US military bases in the Midwest capable of disrupting service and capturing signals.
“Among the most alarming things the FBI uncovered pertains to Chinese-made Huawei equipment atop cell towers near US military bases in the rural Midwest. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, the FBI determined the equipment was capable of capturing and disrupting highly restricted Defense Department communications, including those used by US Strategic Command, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapons,” the outlet reported.
The Gateway Pundit reported that starting in 2015, a Chinese real estate development company called China Oceanwide Holdings began buying land on Oahu in the Hawaii Islands just ten miles west of the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
The stated intent of the land purchases was to build a luxury hotel and homes, but nothing was ever built, even though China Oceanwide had accumulated land worth over 500 million dollars in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor.
A rising number of states are taking action or have already enacted legislation to prohibit “foreign adversaries” and foreign entities—particularly China—from purchasing farmland.
As of 2024, several U.S. states have enacted or are in the process of enacting laws that restrict or ban foreign ownership of land. These states have primarily targeted countries perceived as national security threats.
Here is a list of 24 states with such restrictions, according to Mother Jones.
These states have various laws in place, ranging from complete bans on foreign ownership of agricultural land to restrictions based on national security concerns regarding specific countries, such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The motivation behind these laws includes protecting food security, preventing espionage, and safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Congress is also advancing legislation that aims to address the issue at the federal level.
“Communist China shouldn’t be allowed to buy another acre of American farmland, nor should we rely upon our top foreign adversary for key parts of our food supply chain. Food security is national security!” Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) wrote on X.

— Ashley Hinson (@RepAshleyHinson) May 29, 2024
Hinson has introduced an amendment to the 2024 Farm Bill within the House Agriculture Committee that aims to limit foreign acquisitions of U.S. farmland. She asserts that such measures are crucial for safeguarding American food security, the Daily Mail reported.
In February 2023, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) introduced the “Prohibition of Agricultural Land for the People’s Republic of China Act,” which would prohibit the purchase of public or private agricultural land in the U.S. by foreign nationals associated with the CCP.
“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a threat to American democracy. The United States is engaged in a great power struggle with the CCP, and we must respond with tough policies that will protect our farmland and food supply chain,” said Rep. Newhouse.
“We should be taking every action we can to strengthen our domestic production while preventing our nation’s strongest adversaries from having an advantage over our supply chain. I am proud to introduce this legislation alongside many of my House colleagues to keep the CCP from gaining a foothold from within our own borders.”

Mika Brzezinski questioned a Biden campaign spokesman on Wednesday, saying that De Niro’s appearance near the New York City courthouse didn’t ‘feel right’ to her.

FOX News reports:
MSNBC host challenges Biden aide on bizarre De Niro press conference: ‘Doesn’t feel right to me at all’
MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski challenged the Biden campaign on its decision to hold a chaotic press conference outside Donald Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan with actor Robert De Niro, as the defense and prosecution gave their closing arguments.
“I guess I have to ask you why you decided to speak there and to have the campaign show up at the courthouse. I don’t know. It doesn’t feel right to me at all,” Brzezinski told Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler.
Tyler said the campaign, De Niro and two former police officers, who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, decided to speak outside the courtroom on Tuesday because the media had been “incessantly posted up there for weeks.” He said Trump needed to answer for the “continued threat” he poses to democracy, as well as his “embrace of political violence.”
“So that’s what Robert De Niro and officers [Michael] Fanone and [Harry] Dunn were speaking to down in Manhattan yesterday. They were speaking to the fact that Donald Trump still regularly embraces political violence, is calling for a bloodbath if he loses this election, and is pledging to rule as a dictator on day one,” Tyler continued.
Watch the segment below:
"This campaign is not speaking about the substance of the trial in any way shape or form. What we're talking about is the unique threat that Donald Trump poses to our democracy."

Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on Wednesday gushed over Judge Juan Merchan as the jury deliberated in the lawfare trial against President Trump.
Recall that Andrew Weissmann was Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” during the Russian collusion inquisition. Weissmann was unable to take out Trump during the 2+ year Russian collusion hoax so he has been chomping at the bit ever since.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was 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 jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.
Judge Merchan is allowing the jurors to choose ONE of the three predicate crimes. Jurors do NOT have to unanimously agree on which of the three predicate crimes Trump committed.
Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark said mixing and matching crimes violates every principle of the Due Process Clause.
Weissmann celebrated the lawfare trial against Trump and said he has a “man crush” on Judge Merchan.
“With respect to Judge Merchan, I am like now, I have like a man crush on him,” Weissmann said.
Pathetic.

A judge in Michigan was baffled when a man appearing in court via Zoom for a suspended driver’s license case attended the hearing while driving his car.
Court footage that has gone viral on X shows District Judge Cedric Simpson in complete disbelief as defendant Corey Harris attends court via Zoom while driving on a suspended license.
In the video, Simpson asks Harris, “Mr Harris, are you driving?”
Harris responded, “Actually, I’m pulling into my doctor’s office.”
After Harris responded, his public defender immediately asked for an adjournment for up to four weeks, to which Simpson replied, “Okay, so maybe I don’t understand something. This is a driving while license suspended [case], and he was driving, and he didn’t have a license.”

May the 1st was NOT an ordinary night in Las Vegas.
At a family house, people noticed an unexplainable streak of light that raced across the sky, a phenomenon that was also captured on Las Vegas police bodycams.
After that, the family saw strange creatures in their backyard, and even recorded video of the encounter.
Hallucination? Fantasy? A hoax? According to a veteran crime scene reconstruction analyst, a true story.
Scott Roder, who has testified as an expert in some of the most highly publicized criminal cases in the world, analyzed the video, and says that the images show at least two ‘beings’ using some sort of “cloaking device”.
The exért came to this conclusion after breaking down the video of the reported alien sighting in Las Vegas frame by frame.
New York Post reported:
“In one second of real time, there are 30 frames that show a ‘head with smoke around it’, which Roder called ‘some sort of cloaking device’, moving into the top right corner of the video and peering over the fence.
‘I applied the same principles that I would apply to any kind of homicide investigation’, said Roder, who testified in cases like Oscar Pistorious’ murder trial. ‘At this particular time, with what we’ve seen here, is proof of a couple of things. That these entities… are real. They’re there. This is not fake. This is not a fraud’.”
21 other people, situated across eastern California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah, reported seeing the same glowing green light, according to the American Meteor Society.
“Shortly thereafter, Angel Kenmore called 911 and told the dispatcher that he saw a ‘tall, skinny alien creature with greenish color’, about 8 to 10 feet tall, hiding behind their forklift in the backyard.”

Joe Biden’s mini town hall-sized rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday showed how little support he has in America’s bluest areas.
President Trump, on the other hand, last week held a massive rally in the Bronx, where thousands of Black voters and citizens in Democrat-run New York’s bluest borough turned out to see President Trump. Trump would likely do even better in Philly.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe “You Aint Black” Biden made a pitch to black voters in Philadelphia this afternoon and announced a “Black Voters for Biden-Harris” initiative. Ahead of the event, The Biden campaign accused Donald Trump of “running on an anti-Black agenda.”
It can be recalled that racist Joe Biden was close to KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd and even attended his funeral. And don’t forget about Joe Biden’s famous 1993 speech when he called blacks “predators.”
This comes as a Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Siena College poll earlier this month shows Biden losing support among young, Black, and Hispanic voters and losing by 3% in Pennsylvania. Per the New York Times, “Nearly 70 percent of voters say that the country’s political and economic systems need major changes — or even to be torn down entirely” in the six battleground states polled.
Of course, nobody cared that Joe Biden was in Philly on Wednesday.
It could have been worse, but the Biden/Harris team filled the school gym with school attendees who won't even be able to vote this election. It looked more like a Little League sign-up than a political campaign rally.
A few rows of people were crammed into the corner of the gym.
For reference, here is a side-by-side of a Trump rally in Pennsylvania versus a Biden rally:

Biden’s speech was a total disaster.
First, Biden opened his event with a marching band featuring a person dancing in an Elmo costume.
Then, after starting the rally nearly an hour late, Biden's brain malfunctioned, and he began speaking gibberish.
At the end of his speech, Biden seemingly almost got lost until Kamala Harris grabbed his hand, then he went off-script and spoke more gibberish. Biden tried to speak into the dead microphone, but it failed the first time:
This is why Biden is working to lock up his main political opponent, Donald Trump.
President Trump trolled Biden's joke of a rally and the fact that he loaded the gym with young children earlier.

One of the top mortgage lenders in the United States is offering a new program that allows home buyers to put zero percent down on their mortgages.
United Whole Sale Mortgage is offering a new program that will allow first-time home buyers and people earning below or at 80% of an area’s average income to put zero down on their mortgages.
In a statement to Market Watch, chief operating officer of UWM, Melinda Wilner shared, “Homeownership is something we’re very passionate about.”
Previously, UWM offered buyers a rate of as little as 1% down.

Per Zero Hedge:
Home buyers will be able to buy a home without putting any money down under a new program launched by United Wholesale Mortgage, one of the largest U.S. mortgage lenders.
The Pontiac, Mich.-based company’s new program will be available to first-time home buyers and people earning at or below 80% of an area’s median income, the company said in a press release.
UWM (UWMC) will give eligible buyers a second-lien loan of up to $15,000, in the form of down-payment assistance, for 3% of the home’s purchase price. The loan will not accrue interest or require a monthly payment.
“Homeownership is something we’re very passionate about,” Melinda Wilner, chief operating officer at UWM, told MarketWatch.
UWM isn’t the only one offering zero-down mortgages.

As the Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump returned to court Wednesday for corrupt judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo trial in New York City as the jury began deliberations on his fate.
During the jury deliberations on Wednesday afternoon, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba appeared as a guest on Fox News with Shannon Bream, who attempted to run interference for the Biden regime. Bream likely wishes she had never made this decision because she was outclassed in a battle of the wits.
Bream opened by querying whether there is a net positive for Trump thanks to the kangaroo trial. Habba replied that from a political standpoint, this was true, but America should never have had to “hit rock bottom” in terms of morals, the Constitution, and the rule of law.
Bream attempted to fake concern, claiming that these dramas would always follow Trump regardless of his guilt or innocence. Habba correctly deemed this as extortion and went on to rail against America’s litigious culture, which she noted Joe Biden is taking full advantage of in order to sideline his political opponent.
The interview went horribly wrong for Bream when she responded that Biden had nothing to do with the trial. What followed was an epic yet firm smackdown of the reporter based on cold, hard facts.
Bream was left stammering slightly at the end and had no good response to Habba’s blistering replies.

Bream: The Biden Administration is not responsible for this trial.
Habba: How can you say the Biden Administration is not responsible for this trial?
Bream: Uh, it’s a state trial; it’s Alvin Bragg; whether you think there’s a political motive for him, it’s not connected to the DOJ… the feds passe don these lection charges.
Habba: Shannon, you should look at how many logs they have of state officials (such as) Letitia James (and) Fani Willis visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial…
Bream: But the feds passed on this case…
Habba: The feds passed on this case, so did DA Cy Vance and so did Bragg (years ago)…and you know when it came back? When he (Trump) decided to run for office.
So tell me how that’s not an indication that Joe Biden, who just sent his campaign down here with Robert De Niro yesterday, isn’t a part of this?
Frankly, any question that we had of that was squashed yesterday. And whether you have any more concerns about whether he’s involved in this, look at the fact he is literally publicizing for tonight a speech if a verdict comes out. That’s a sad state of affairs.
Bream: Do you not think, though, that uh, any president would want weigh in on something this historic?
Habba: I wish Biden had that same sentiment about the border, fentanyl, and our children being mutilated. I would prefer he would focus on the real things instead of trying to attack his political opponent, who he just cannot beat.
After watching Habba filet Bream, President Trump unleashed on the news anchor, calling her “naive.”
I never knew Shannon Bream was so “naïve.” In her interview with my Representative, Alina Habba, Shannon just suggested that Crooked Joe Biden was not involved in my Show Trial. HOW STUPID!

As Gateway Pundit readers know, Trump has been charged with 34 felony “falsification of business records.” He was penalized for every payment he allegedly made to his former lawyer and pathological liar, Michael Cohen, regarding Cohen paying off Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
The prosecution has not proven Trump committed any of these crimes or even had an affair, but he will likely be found guilty anyway given the rigged jury.

Elementary or middle school-aged children from the school were even being shuttled into the rally to fill space.
Still, Biden and Kamala Harris couldn't even fill a gym:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden opened his afternoon event with a marching band featuring a person dancing in an Elmo costume.
Then, after starting the rally nearly an hour late, Biden's brain malfunctioned, and he began speaking gibberish.
At the end of his speech, Biden seemingly almost got lost until Kamala Harris grabbed his hand, then he went off-script and spoke more gibberish. Biden tried to speak into the dead microphone, but it failed the first time:
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden slurred again through remarks at the South Restaurant and Jazz Club and bizarrely claimed, “We’re rebuilding a $60 ZILLION bridge in Baltmur!”
Biden also claimed that he was in Baltimore "the next day" after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed and killed multiple construction workers. Maryland Governor Wes Moore can be seen nodding along as Biden lies about when he visited Baltimore. Biden first visited the site of the bridge collapse on Friday, April 5, over a week after it collapsed on March 26.
Biden then repeated his same old favorite lie that he "got involved as a kid in the civil rights movement":
...Twice:
Of course, this is a lie. Biden admitted he lied about marching in the civil rights movement months after making this false claim in 1987:
In 1987, Joe Biden claimed he marched in the civil rights movement. A few months later, Biden disavowed the claim. Decades later, during the Obama era, and more recently on the campaign trail, he started making the same claims again. https://t.co/NAlMJ6ZTq7 pic.twitter.com/tpmE6VXmG6

Biden also slurred and rambled incoherently about his father and his upbringing. "Some of you know Claymont. It's about a good long driver from here," he said:
Does anyone think this guy is capable of being President?
After his speech, Biden's handlers cranked up the music at the restaurant to avoid reporters' questions. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, after Biden shuffled out of the White House and avoided the press, that Biden has barely spoken to any media all year and has not held a single press conference this year.

The Hart Research/Public Opinion Strategies/NBC News survey released on Wednesday found that the percentage of Americans calling the nation “out of control” was the highest on record under any president since the poll began.
Breitbart News reports:
Seventy-three percent of voters believe Biden’s America is “out of control, on wrong track,” topping the record high that George W. Bush set in 2008 — 70 percent. Barack Obama set the third-highest rating at 65 percent.
The poll noted several additional findings. It reported that Trump leads Biden in six of the six swing states, including Wisconsin, a state where other polls showed Biden leading Trump.
The survey also reported that non-white voters are trending away from Democrats, while the Republican Party is surging among the demographic. In four years, non-white voters shifted about 40 points in favor of Republicans.
Bill McInturff, a veteran Republican pollster, also noted that the survey found more voters identifying as Republicans.

The slide he posted showed that, among registered voters, 41 percent now identify as Republicans, 40 percent as Democrats. In 2016, Democrats had an advantage of seven percentage points.”
“The lines have crossed for the very first time in a long time, and that’s a very big deal,” the pollster told the Post. “It’s not that Republicans are always going up, it’s that the Democrats are dropping [in party identification].”

President Trump made a Truth Social post earlier, congratulating Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on refusing demands by Democrats and leftist organizations to recuse himself from Trump cases surrounding January 6 and the 2020 election.
The Gateway Pundit recently reported that Democrat politicians have called for Alito’s recusal over reports that Alito’s home displayed the inverted flag on January 17, 2021—just days after the January 6 Capitol event and shortly before Joe Biden’s inauguration. Leftist group Citizens for Ethics also sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts “calling on him to immediately create an enforcement mechanism for the Supreme Court Code of Conduct and to encourage Justice Alito to recuse from January 6 and election related cases.”
The letter from Citizens for Ethics further cites the American Flag and an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown outside Alito’s vacation home. According to the letter, the flag “has been associated with a far-right religious sect of the “Stop the Steal” movement.”
However, according to Americanflags.com, “This iconic emblem, also known as the Pine Tree flag, holds a special place in the hearts of those who cherish American values and the relentless pursuit of liberty.” These godless leftists sure do hate Christians!
Also, in an appalling violation of the code of ethics, one sitting federal judge wrote a political hit piece in the New York Times publicly attacking conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Judge Walton, a Bush appointee, previously spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about threats he has received after he called Trump a “charlatan” and rendered excessive punishment to J6 defendants. Walton, a SITTING JUDGE, also weighed in on Trump’s statements defending himself against Judge Merchan, his conflicted daughter Loren Merchan, and the latest gag order. These people are total hypocrites.
According to Alito, the upside-down flag was a reaction to “F*ck Trump” yard signs posted by neighbors and verbal attacks toward his wife rather than a political statement. The Gateway Pundit reported that after nasty leftist neighbors bombarded her with harassment and vulgar language and called her a “c*nt,” Mrs. Alito was so distraught that she hung the flag upside down for a short time.
This also comes as SCOTUS recently signaled that they may consider for the first time granting Russell Alford, one of the few J6 defendants to refuse a plea deal, his petition for writ of certiorari, a move that only happens for roughly 1% of cases brought to SCOTUS.
However, as The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Justice Samuel Alito refused the demand by Democrats that he recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases involving the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, Trump immunity and the 2020 election over the flags his wife flew at their residential and vacation homes.
Alito’s letter turning down calls for recusal goes into detail about his wife flying an upside-down American flag at their Northern Virginia home in January 2021 over a dispute with her nasty Democrat neighbors. The dispute has gone on for years, with the neighbors protesting in front of Alito’s home after the June 2022 Dobbs decision to return abortion laws to the states.
Alito also described his wife’s flying of an ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Revolutionary War flag at their family vacation home on Long Beach Island, New Jersey in the summer of 2023, saying his wife flew it "to express a religious and patriotic message."
Alito added, "My wife is an independently-minded private citizen. She makes her own decisions, and I honor her right to do so. Our vacation home was purchased with money she inherited from her parents and is titled in her name. It is a place, away from Washington, where she should be able to relax."
In response to Alito standing up to the Marxist Democrats trying to cancel him, Trump commended his "INTELLIGENCE, COURAGE, and 'GUTS'" in a Wednesday Truth:
Trump: Congratulations to United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for showing the INTELLIGENCE, COURAGE, and “GUTS” to refuse stepping aside from making a decision on anything January 6th related. All U.S. Judges, Justices, and Leaders should have such GRIT - Our Country would be far more advanced than its current status as A BADLY FAILING NATION, headed by the Worst President in American History, Crooked Joe Biden!

The reporter asked Biden if he could “approach” because couldn’t hear him.
“I said, are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?” Biden shouted again.
This is what ‘restoring decency’ to the White House looks like according to the Bidens.

The communist regime in North Korea has launched an unconventional yet disgusting attack on its South Korean neighbors.
According to the South Korean military, Kim Jong-un’s henchmen released 260 balloons containing human excrement and other hazardous materials in what they described as an “inhumane and low-level” act.
The balloons reached as far as Jeolla Province, near the southern tip of South Korea’s mainland, meaning they traveled hundreds of miles.
Voice of America reports:
Pictures released by South Korea’s military showed various garbage items, some mixed with an unspecified brown substance, strewn across streets and on what appeared to be front porch areas, including in Seoul, the capital.
In a statement, South Korea’s military said the actions violate international law and seriously threaten public safety.
Overnight Wednesday, text message alerts warned some South Korean residents in border provinces to refrain from outdoor activities because of unknown objects presumedly from North Korea.
The vile and disgusting attack was allegedly a retaliation against a South Korean human rights activist who had used balloons containing anti-North Korean messages to try and spread the truth about the wicked and tyrannical regime.
In a typically bizarre statement released by Kim Jong-un’s sister Kim Yo Jong, the regime said the attack was merely about the North using its “freedom of expression” and represented a “genuine gift of sincerity.”
The statement read:
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the ROK puppet army said that the DPRK is scattering a large number of balloons over the ROK from last night. It urged the DPRK to stop such an act at once, claiming that it is a clear violation of international law, an act of seriously threatening the security of ROK people and an unethical and lowbrow act.
We have tried something they have always been doing, but I cannot understand why they are making a fuss as if they were hit by shower of bullets. After all, they hoisted a white flag just one day after they themselves have been exposed to the despicable article-scattering which the DPRK has called into question and demanded a stop for years.
…
They should continue to pick up rubbish scattered by our people, regarding them really as “sincere presents” to the goblins of liberal democracy who are crying for the “guarantee for freedom of expression”.
Such reports come as North Korea continues to advance its nuclear weapons program to protect itself against the Western alliance. Just this week, the regime fired a long-range missile towads Japan, although it exploded shortly after takeoff.

Wu has also said that she wants to abolish the gang registry.
Before being elected, Wu described her priorities by filling out the in-depth “2021 Boston Mayoral Candidate Questionnaire” from the far-left organization Progressive Massachusetts.
One of the questions was, “Do you support shuttering the Boston Police gang database?” To which Wu responded, “Yes.”
Wu told the organization that she also supports ending information sharing between the Boston Police Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The now-mayor was also asked if she supports the do-not-prosecute list enacted by the former Suffolk County district attorney Rachael Rollins.
Fox News reports, “DA Rollins enacted the policy memo identifying more than a dozen charges she said should be declined for prosecution. Those crimes included shoplifting, larceny, disorderly conduct, receiving stolen property, driving with a suspended license, breaking and entering with property damage, wanton and malicious destruction of property, threats, minor in possession of alcohol, marijuana possession, possession with intent to distribute, non-marijuana drug possession.”
“The DA was later brought into the Biden administration, before resigning after an ethics probe found that Rollins committed ‘egregious’ ethical violations and ‘abuse of power,'” the report noted.
Wu replied that she does support the list.
The mayor also told the organization that she would like to end the police department’s access to tear gas, rubber bullets, and attack dogs.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking arrest warrants for the Israeli Prime Minister and Minister of Defense. However, the warrants have not yet been granted, nor has authorization for an investigation, and the ICC has no police force to enforce the warrants if they are issued.
ICC Prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan has applied for arrest warrants for five individuals connected with the Israel-Hamas War. Three from Hamas: Yahya Sinwar (Head of Hamas in Gaza), Mohammed Deif (Commander-in-Chief of the Al-Qassam Brigades), and Ismail Haniyeh (Head of Hamas Political Bureau) for war crimes committed in Israel and Palestine from October 7, 2023.
The other two alleged perpetrators are Israeli officials: Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Defense of Israel, for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza from at least October 8, 2023.
Israel’s specific actions condemned by the ICC prosecutor include closing border crossings, blocking aid supplies such as food and medicine, cutting off cross-border water and electricity to Gaza, and attacking and killing aid workers. Israel states that the aid workers were killed accidentally in the normal context of war.
They justify the other allegations by citing the need to prevent terrorists from entering Israel and to stop weapons and ammunition from getting into Gaza. These measures pertain to Israel’s sovereign borders, and a country has the right to enforce its border policy. Ironically, Egypt is not being charged despite also closing its borders, hindering refugee exits, and preventing aid shipments from entering.
The official statement of the ICC acknowledges that Israel took these actions to (i) eliminate Hamas, (ii) secure the return of hostages abducted by Hamas, and (iii) collectively punish the civilian population of Gaza, whom they perceived as a threat to Israel.
It is questionable whether the third point is true. As for eliminating Hamas and recovering the hostages, the ICC did not offer an alternative solution for how Israel should achieve these goals through acceptable means.
Those in favor of the ICC warrants against Israel point out that the ICC has also issued warrants for nefarious characters like Vladimir Putin and various other dictators and despots.
The rogues’ gallery of high-level offenders who have had ICC warrants enforced on them includes Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi, his son, and brother-in-law for crimes against humanity; Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya’s finance minister and a deputy prime minister; former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak; former Guatemalan President Efrain Rios Montt for genocide; former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo for crimes against humanity; and Kosovar President Hashim Thaci for war crimes. Supporters of the ICC warrants argue that if Israel’s allies flout these charges against Israel, it undermines the court’s authority to take action against other violators.
Before issuing an arrest warrant, the ICC must undergo several steps, including a preliminary examination, authorization of an investigation, gathering of evidence, and a review by a Pre-Trial Chamber. An investigation must be conducted to establish sufficient grounds for the warrant.
If Israel refuses to cooperate with an ICC investigation, the ICC can still proceed by relying on evidence gathered from other sources, such as non-governmental organizations, international agencies, or states willing to assist.
Moreover, the UN Security Council has the authority to refer situations to the ICC, even if the country involved is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the ICC and defines its functions, jurisdiction, and structure. However, this referral requires a resolution supported by the majority of Security Council members, which can be difficult to achieve due to geopolitical considerations.
If sufficient grounds are found to issue the warrant, the ICC lacks a police force to enforce it, relying instead on member states to carry out arrests. Only countries that are signatories to the Rome Statute are obligated to enforce these warrants. Israel is not a signatory, which complicates the situation. The State of Palestine, while not a signatory in the traditional sense, has acceded to the Rome Statute.
In contrast, the US, China, India, Russia, and almost all Arab states are not parties to the Rome Statute. This means that unless the individuals in question travel to a signatory country willing to enforce the warrants, the likelihood of their arrest remains low. While signatory countries would be obligated to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister if he visited, no country would invade Israel to make the arrest.
Although the U.S. is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, it holds considerable influence over many ICC member states. The U.S. can leverage diplomatic pressure to discourage countries from cooperating with the ICC in specific cases.
Additionally, the U.S. has passed laws, such as the American Service-Members’ Protection Act (ASPA), which includes provisions to protect U.S. nationals and allies from the ICC’s jurisdiction. This can extend to diplomatic efforts to protect Israel.
If the countries tied to the crime are not signatories to the ICC, the court can still investigate if the United Nations Security Council refers the case, if a non-signatory state accepts the court’s jurisdiction, or if the crimes occurred on the territory of a signatory state. However, Israel is unlikely to accept the court’s jurisdiction, and neither Israel nor Palestine are traditional signatories.
Therefore, obtaining a referral from the UN Security Council would be necessary, but this is unlikely given that three of the five permanent members (the US, China, and Russia) are not signatories and would likely object. Even if Russia and China perceived that they could gain some benefit by agreeing to enforce the ICC investigation, the United States could still veto the resolution.
The bottom line is that the issuance of an arrest warrant is unlikely, and the enforcement even less so.

Biden’s speech was a total disaster.
What’s left of Biden’s brain broke as he tried to insult Trump. Biden spoke complete gibberish.
“We’ll never forget— lying around and [gibberish].”

Biden malfunctioned again as he talked about the black and brown neighborhoods being cut off by the highways in the 60s.

This is why Biden is working to lock up his main political opponent Donald Trump.
Biden simply cannot compete with Trump.

“Dr.” Jill Biden unsurprisingly made a fool on the View Wednesday after trying to gaslight America on her husband’s “intelligence” and “mental acuity” while taking a cheap shot at President Trump.
As TVline reported, the so-called First Lady was a guest on the infamous show ostensibly to plug her new children’s book Willow the White House Cat , but the subject promptly turned to politics and the upcoming Presidential election.
Biden opened by swatting away pointed questions from the hosts regarding whether her husband is too old to be president and how he can turn around his garbage poll numbers. She characterized the election as a battle of good vs. evil while warning a new Trump turn would mean violence and a bloodbath.
“You have to believe him (Trump,)” Biden said. “when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence.’”
“We’ve seen it, so when he says these words, believe him, don’t think this isn’t going to happen.”
She then delivered a moment of unintentional hilarity when the subject turned to the upcoming debates between her husband and President Trump. Jill dared to declare that her dementia-addled husband would prove how smart and experienced he is before millions of people.
On the other hand, Jill predicted Trump would find himself unable to compose a sentence.

Jill BIDEN: You know, I think, but I think the American people deserve a debate because you need to see your choices. You need to see Trump and you need to see the president and you need to see the differences. And my husband, and you’re going to see how smart he is and the experience he has. And then you’ll see somebody who, like you’re saying, I’m going to use Joy’s words, can’t put a sentence together.
And everything is beautiful. And it’s one tremendous, big league tremendous. So I think you deserve, the American people deserve to see the two men who are running for this office because your choice is going to be clear.
At last check, Trump is not the one slurring his words and falling flat on his face in public. The 45th President has enough energy to deliver an hours-long speech without tiring.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, cannot go a single day without a notable mental stumble. One would hope Americans are not dumb enough to fall for “Dr.” Jill’s garbage.

Judge Juan Merchan Wednesday afternoon dismissed the courtroom for the day in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ lawfare trial against Trump.
Merchan is allowing the jurors to choose ONE of the three predicate crimes. Jurors do NOT have to unanimously agree on which of the three predicate crimes Trump committed.
1. Violations of federal election law
2. The falsification of business records; and
3. Tax violations
Of course, this will make it easier to convict Trump.
No verdict was reached after the jury deliberated for a few hours.
Deliberations will reconvene Thursday morning at 9:30 am ET.
BREAKING: Merchan dismissed courtroom for the day. NO VERDICT today.
Will reconvene tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
