Far-left Judge Merchan on Monday morning rejected Trump’s demand to recuse himself as jury selection was underway for the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial.
President Trump recently filed a motion requesting that the judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ case 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.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
The judge on Monday rejected Trump’s request to recuse himself as the former president appeared in court.
CNN reported:
Judge Juan Merchan denied the motion for recusal and says he won’t consider it again until the appellate court rules.
Merchan says it’s the opinion of the court that Trump is using a “series of inferences, innuendos and unsupported speculation” to make his claims for recusal.
Trump appeared to be looking straight ahead, at a screen, biting his bottom lip as the judge rejected the recusal motion.

Juan Merchan NY judge Trump Stormy Daniels
Prosecutors on Monday will be seeking to hold President Trump in contempt for ‘violating’ Judge Merchan’s gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial.
Jury selection was underway on Monday morning for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump. Last April Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy.
The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels trial trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order.
Juan Merchan earlier this month expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
Earlier this month Trump threw down the gauntlet and blasted Judge Merchan in a series of Truth Social posts.
President Trump said he will continue to tell the truth and will “gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela,” and is willing to “sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”
“Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the “clink” for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR. We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause. We are a Failing Nation, but on November 5th, we will become a Great Nation again. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social a couple of weeks ago.
Alvin Bragg’s office is now asking the court to impose sanctions and threatened Trump with jail time.
Per MSNBC: Manhattan DA’s office asks court to impose a $1k sanction for each of 3 prior posts, order him to take them down, and warn him that further violations will result in jail time. DA notes a 9:12 am post today, potentially made inside the courthouse, also violates the order.

Joe Biden on Monday held a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Mohammed Shyaa Al-Sudani of the Republic of Iraq.
Biden’s meeting with the Iraqi PM comes a couple of days after Iran attacked Israel with drone and missile strikes.
“Our partnership is pivotal for our nations, the Middle East and the world,” said Biden.
Biden took a victory lap after Iran attacked Israel.
“In the 36 hours since, we have been coordinating a diplomatic response to seek to prevent escalation,” Biden said slurring his words. “Strength and wisdom need to be different sides of the same coin.”
He continued slurring, “As you know, Iran launched an unprecedented aerial attack against Israel and we mounted an unprecedented military effort to defend Israel.”

Jury selection was underway on Monday morning for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump related to ‘hush payments’ made to porn star Stormy Daniels. Last April Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy.
Alvin Bragg still hasn’t named the underlying felony after he twisted the law and somehow upgraded the misdemeanor charges that were past the statute of limitations – to felonies.
The fix is in. The judge overseeing the case is a far-left operative whose daughter has made a lucrative career helping Democrats ‘get Trump.’
After refusing to recuse himself, Judge Juan Merchan on Monday threatened to put President Trump in jail if he doesn’t show up for trial.
Merchan read Trump his right to be in court during the trial.
The judge told Trump a warrant would be issued for his arrest if he failed to show up to trial without a valid reason.
President Trump asked the judge if he could skip the trial on Wednesday for his son Barron’s graduation.
Judge Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”
NBC News reported:
Judge warns Trump he could face jail for missing court
Merchan is talking about Trump’s right to be present in court — known as Parker admonitions.
Merchan is talking directly to the former president for the first time all day, issuing a stark warning that if he fails to show up for trial without a reason a warrant will be issued for his arrest.
The N.Y. courts provide a script for these which is below:
You have the right to be present in court at any proceeding including, in particular, a hearing and trial. Do you understand?
However, by your conduct, you can waive, give up, forfeit, or lose that right to be present.
Add if defendant is in jail:
If you deliberately refuse to come to court when required, or in any way deliberately obstruct or interfere with the effort to bring you to court, then, any proceeding in your case, including hearing, trial and, if you are convicted, sentence, can and will continue in your absence. Do you understand?
Add if defendant is at liberty:
If you deliberately fail to appear in court when required, then any proceeding in your case, including hearing, trial and, if you are convicted, sentence, can and will continue in your absence. A warrant for your arrest will be issued and you will be subject to separate prosecution and separate punishment for bail jumping no matter what happens in this case. Do you understand?

Last month Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the ‘Rust’ movie set armorer, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a New Mexico jury.
The jury convicted the 26-year-old armorer in the fatal death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins but found her not guilty of evidence tampering.
Gutierrez-Reed on Monday was sentenced to the max: 18 months in prison
CNN reported:
Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer of the film “Rust” who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month for the 2021 on-set fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, was sentenced by a New Mexico judge to 18 months in prison Monday, the maximum possible punishment.
“I did not hear you take accountability in your allocution. You said you were sorry, but not (that) you were sorry for what you did,” Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said in announcing the sentence.
“You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon,” the judge said. “But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother.”
Gutierrez Reed, 26, had no visible reaction to the sentence. She was taken from the courtroom after the sentence was announced.
In January Alec Baldwin was indicted by a grand jury on charges of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal ‘Rust’ shooting.
If convicted, he faces up to 18 months in prison.
“We look forward to our day in court,” said Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, in a statement on Friday, according to Variety.
Recall that last April, criminal charges against Alec Baldwin were dropped in New Mexico.
Last year, Alec Baldwin was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.
Halyna Hutchins
Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured 48-year-old Joel Souza on the movie set of ‘Rust’ in Santa Fe, New Mexico in October 2021.
Prosecutors requested a second analysis of the gun Alec Baldwin used.
Firearms expert Lucien Haag concluded the gun Alec Baldwin used on set had not been modified.
“Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger, given the tests, findings and observations reported here, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer of the evidence revolver,” firearms expert Lucien Haag wrote.
“From an examination of the fired cartridge case and the operationally restored evidence revolver, this fatal incident was the consequence of the hammer being manually retracted to its fully rearward and cocked position followed, at some point, by the pull or rearward depression of the trigger,” Haag wrote.

Judge Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”
President Trump spoke out after Judge Merchan threatened him with jail if he skipped court.
President Trump: We had some amazing things happen today.
As you know, my son is graduating from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son, who’s worked very, very hard. He’s a great student. We’re very proud of the fact that he did so well. And he was looking forward for years to have this graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like the judges are not going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial.
If you read all of the legal pundits, all of the legal scholars today, there’s not one that I see that said this is a case that should be brought or tried. It’s a scam. It’s a political witch hunt. It continues It continues forever. And we’re not going to be given a fair trial. It’s a very, very sad thing.
In addition, as you know, next Thursday, we’re before the United States Supreme Court in a very big hearing on immunity. And this is something that we We’ve been waiting for a long time. The judge, of course, is not going to allow us.
He’s a very conflicted judge, and he’s not going to allow us to go to that. He won’t allow me to leave here for a half a day, go to DC, and go before the United States Supreme Court because he thinks he’s superior, I guess, than the Supreme Court. We got a real problem with this judge. We have a real problem with a lot of things having to do with this trial, including the DA, because you go right outside and people are being muffled and killed all day long. He’s sitting here all day with 10 or 12 prosecutors over nothing, over what people say shouldn’t be a trial.
I just want to thank you very much.
How awful!

This is after pro-Palestine activists shut down the Golden State Bridge and blocked the entrance to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
According to reports, chants of “Death to America” were heard earlier in New York City and one protestor burned an American flag.
NYPD officers in riot gear started making arrests.

The New York Post reported:
Hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters wreaked havoc in Lower Manhattan on Monday, storming the Brooklyn Bridge and grinding traffic to a halt on its Manhattan-bound side as cops in riot gear fought to contain the unrest.
The marchers — including some who burned American flags, according to social media posts — converged on the historic span around 3:45 p.m., immediately disrupting cars and prompting NYPD cops to swarm the area and begin cuffing at least two dozen of them.
Photos posted on social media showed the massive mob invading the span during the disruptive rally — only the latest in the Big Apple since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel and the subsequent counter-offensive by the Jewish state in the Gaza Strip.

The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Idaho can enforce its ban on sex changes for children. Healthcare professionals can face up to 10 years in prison for mutilating children or providing puberty blockers to them.
In December Judge Lynn Winmill, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Idaho could not enforce the transgender ban while the lawsuit by two plaintiffs made its way through the courts.
The US Supreme Court 6-3 granted an emergency request filed by Idaho’s Attorney General.
Idaho previously enacted the Vulnerable Child Protection Act which protected children from dangerous puberty blockers and procedures that remove body parts.
Far-left activists sued to stop Idaho from protecting children so Idaho’s Attorney General quickly acted and appealed to the 9th Circuit. After the 9th Circuit denied its request, the Attorney General’s office appealed to the US Supreme Court to allow the law to take effect while the case makes its way through the courts.
Idaho’s Attorney General Raul Labrador celebrated the win.
BREAKING: The US Supreme Court just ruled to allow Idaho to enforce the Vulnerable Child Protection Act, a law that protects children from harmful and experimental drugs and procedure, while the case proceeds at the Ninth Circuit.
This is a BIG win to protect vulnerable kids!

“Our state has a duty to protect and support all children. I’m proud to defend Idaho’s law that ensures children are not subjected to these dangerous drugs and procedures,” Raul Labrador said.

CNBC reported:
A divided Supreme Court on Monday allowed Idaho to mostly enforce a law that bans gender-affirming health care for transgender teens.
Granting an emergency request filed by Idaho officials, the court said the law enacted last year could go into effect statewide but cannot be applied against the two plaintiffs who challenged it.
The court’s three liberal justices objected to the decision, saying the law should have remained blocked in full.
U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Winmill ruled in December that the state could not enforce the law while litigation continues. The state has appealed to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals but it has yet to rule.
The law, like measures enacted by other states, prevents the use of what Winmill called “generally accepted medical treatment” for transgender minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgeries.

President Trump on Tuesday morning once again called out the far-left judge presiding over the Stormy Daniel’s ‘hush money’ trial.
NY Judge Juan Merchan imposed a strict gag order that prevented Trump from criticizing his family members.
Merchan ordered Trump to refrain from making any public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case. Alvin Bragg accused Trump of violating the gag order when he criticized Merchan’s daughter even though she isn’t a witness or a juror.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.
President Trump is still allowed to trash Judge Merchan and Alvin Bragg.
Trump went off on Judge Merchan on Tuesday morning.
“This conflicted, Trump Hating Judge won’t let me respond to people that are on TV lying and spewing hate all day long. He is running rough shod over my lawyers and legal team. The New York System of “Justice” is being decimated by critics from all over the World. I want to speak, or at least be able to respond. Election Interference! RIGGED, UNCONSTITUTIONAL TRIAL! Take off the Gag Order!!!” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday morning.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday filed a motion to hold Trump in contempt for violating the judge’s gag order.

Only 250 people were allowed inside for the 10 a.m. hearing, while the hundreds of others who flocked downtown were left outside in a park, where footage showed them chanting and cheering.
The crowd was mostly made up of new arrivals from Guinea, in West Africa, and were apparently drawn to City Hall by an activist group, a source told The Post.
Dozens of migrants said they’d been told by others in the community that they could get work visas or green cards if they showed up.

Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday accused Trump of intimidating a juror who admitted she posted a pro-Biden video to her Facebook page.
Jury selection was still underway on Tuesday in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial after more than 50 prospective jurors were dismissed from the jury pool on Monday.
One potential juror was brought in for questioning after Trump’s lawyers discovered she posted a pro-Biden celebratory video in 2020.
“You had to get in the car to spread the honking cheer. it’s a full on dance party at 96th street,” the potential juror’s caption read according to Trump attorney Todd Blanche.
President Trump was allegedly gesturing and ‘audibly speaking in the direction of the potential juror’ while she was being questioned about her pro-Biden social media post.
Judge Merchan accused Trump of intimidating the juror.
“I won’t tolerate that. I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear,” Judge Merchan said.
The left-wing, pro-Biden juror claimed she is capable of being impartial.
“I very, very strongly believe that regardless of my thoughts about anyone or anything political, feelings or convictions, that the job of a juror is to understand the facts of a trial and to be the judge of those facts,” the juror said, according to CNN.
Judge Merchan said the left-wing juror gave “reasonable explanations” for the pro-Biden Facebook videos and rejected a request from Trump’s attorneys to dismiss her from the jury pool.

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday heard oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
Justice Clarence Thomas grilled DOJ Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar as she droned on and on about how the government is fairly using the §1512(c)(2) statute to prosecute hundreds of J6 defendants for merely walking through the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Justice Thomas pointed out that there have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings (Kavanaugh hearings).
“There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings. Has the government applied this provision to other protests in the past and has this been the government’s position throughout the lifespan of the statute?” Justice Thomas asked the DOJ lawyer.
Justice Thomas asked Prelogar if the government had ever used this provision for other protestors.
Prelogar broke her back trying to explain to the Supreme Court why leftist protestors weren’t prosecuted as January 6 defendants were.
AUDIO:
Special Counsel Jack Smith suggested he will ignore the Supreme Court if it reverses the obstruction statute this summer.
Jack Smith suggested he will find a workaround if the Supreme Court reverses two of the charges against Trump.
Smith claims the ‘obstruction’ charges will still stand against Trump because the alternative electoral certificates represent “documents” that were fraudulently used in an “official proceeding.”
These papers weren’t even sent or signed by Trump!
Jack Smith isn’t the only one who is threatening to circumvent the Supreme Court.
Last month US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.

Orange County, California – A Newport Coast homeowner opened fire on armed home invaders early Tuesday morning prompting a huge police response.
Newport Beach Police received a 911 call from a Newport Coast resident at approximately 4:45 am on Tuesday regarding a home invasion in an exclusive neighborhood in Pelican Heights.
Two women, one man, and one juvenile were inside the home at the time of the invasion. They were not injured.
Someone from inside of the multimillion-dollar home shot one of the two home invasion suspects. Police found one suspect lying in the street with a handgun suffering from gunshot wounds.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department SWAT team was also on the scene.
WATCH:
A second suspect was located in the bushes nearby with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Police said he is deceased.
According to police, the home invasion was not random. The homeowner and the home invasion suspects knew each other. No further details about their connection were released to the public.
Newport Beach police repeatedly stressed that it was a targeted home invasion and that there was no threat to the community.
“We know that there’s a relationship between the suspects, the two suspects, and the victims, the residents,” said Newport Beach PD Sgt. Steve Oberon.
UPDATE: @NewportBeachPD confirm early morning home invasion of home in Pelican Heights was NOT random. Suspects and family have a connection.

“Most of these communities, especially up at Pelican Heights – these are gated communities with guards patrolling this area 24 hours a day and police stress that these suspects had a connection to the homeowner – to the people inside the home and that’s how most likely how they were able to get in,” Fox 11 reporter Gigi Graciette reported.
Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill praised the homeowner for protecting his property and family.
“I can tell you right now if you come into Newport Beach to commit a crime, we will defend ourselves, and today is an example of that,” Mayor Will O’Neill said.
Police said Tuesday morning’s invasion was not connected to South American gangs and theft rings that have targeted homes in Orange County.

Alaska Airlines on Wednesday asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to pause the airline’s departures nationwide.
The FAA issued a ground stop advisory for Alaska Airlines at 7:50 am on Wednesday.
According to KIRO 7, the ground stop is related to a problem with the airline’s weight and balance system.
“This morning we experienced an issue while performing an upgrade to the system that calculates our weight and balance. A ground stop for all Alaska and Horizon flights was instituted at approximately 7:50am PT. We’re working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage guests to check the status of their flights on alaskaair.com or the Alaska App prior to heading to the airport.”

NPR’s senior editor Uri Berliner resigned from his position on Wednesday after he was suspended for attacking the network’s biased coverage.
National Public Radio (NPR) is a liberal organization that pushes propaganda and doesn’t allow any dissenting opinions.
Berliner, in an explosive interview with journalist Bari Weiss on her podcast ‘Honestly,’ criticized the organization’s editorial standards, saying that they were skewed against President Trump.
In the interview, Berliner expressed his concerns about the network’s journalistic integrity, highlighting the disparate treatment of news stories depending on their political implications:
“Here was a president who, you know, I believed was belligerent and Ill-informed and not a good person by any standard measure of decency. But I think we developed a different standard of coverage for Trump than any other politician. And I think that that led us to serious problems in our coverage. I mean one of them was not so much about Trump but connected to Trump was the Hunter Biden laptop where you know, one of our top news manager when the post published this explosive story said, we’re not gonna cover this.
Berliner also penned an essay for the online news outlet The Free Press, titled “I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust.”
Berliner resigned but he praised NPR in his resignation letter.
“I am resigning from NPR, a great American institution where I have worked for 25 years. I don’t support calls to defund NPR,” Berliner said in his resignation letter.

Joe Biden on Wednesday stopped to chat with reporters on the tarmac as he was departing Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Biden told a dubious story about how his grandfather (or uncle?) Ambrose Finnegan (Jr.?) was shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals.
“Ambrose Finnegan, we called him Uncle Bosey – he was shot down, he was Army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flights over New Guinea and he volunteered when someone couldn’t make it and he got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals…” Biden said.
Biden’s maternal grandfather Ambrose Finnegan died in 1957. His uncle Ambrose Finnegan Jr. died after a plane he was in went down due to engine failure.
Old Joe added that he went to New Guinea.
Joe Biden: They called him Uncle Bozey, he was shot down. He was an army Air Corps before there was an Air Force. He flew a single-engine plane, reconnaissance flight over New Guinea. He had volunteered because someone couldn’t make it. He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals in New Guinea at the time. They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane and the life.
Imagine the headlines if Trump told a story like this.
Joe Biden also smeared Trump with the debunked “suckers and losers” hoax for the second time in less than a day.

Biden couldn’t draw decent-sized crowd in his own hometown in a state he supposedly won in 2020.

Biden visited his childhood home in Scranton before his second campaign event.
It was a creepy photo op. A few people (staffers?) cheered for Biden as he emerged from his childhood home holding hands with children.
During his second campaign stop, Biden recounted a bizarre story about answering his motel room door while he was standing in a towel and shaving cream.

Why wasn’t this prosecutor sanctioned and jailed?
A top prosecutor from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office screamed at the judge overseeing the RICO trial of rapper Young Thug.
Assistant District Attorney Adriane Love shouted at Judge Ural Glanville on Wednesday after she was told she wasn’t properly handling the RICO case against Young Thug, AKA, Jeffrey Williams, and other defendants.
“Well, then you all should have gotten yourself together beforehand,” the judge said to Love.
The judge continued, “Have a seat, madam! Have a seat! You better exclude that and next time, make sure you’re prepared!”
“You continue to engage in this pattern of behavior, you don’t want to accept my ruling, and I know you’re trying to be an advocate, but at some point just stop,” the judge said to Adriane Love. “Just stop. I made my ruling.”
Adriane Love shouted over the judge and argued her office was handling evidence properly.
“Judge, we talked to them [the defense] this morning about that and attempted… I talked to them earlier this week!” Love screamed. “Your honor, so the court punishes the state because the defense—”
The judge interrupted Love: “I’m not punishing anybody, but prior preparation prevents poor performance.”
Love shouted back: “We prepared, judge! That’s why I sent them what I sent them last week! A whole week and a half ago! Two weeks, your honor!”
What a dumpster fire!

A second seated juror was dismissed on Thursday after they were sworn in by the judge presiding over the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial.
One juror on Thursday was already excused from service after she admitted to concerns about her impartiality upon being officially sworn in by Judge Juan Merchan.
“Yesterday alone, I had friends and family push things to me,” the first dismissed juror stated. “I don’t think at this point that I can be fair and unbiased.”
A second juror was dismissed over his past arrest. Details of juror number 4’s criminal past were not disclosed.
NBC News reported:
After they had a conference with the juror, Merchan announced he’s excusing juror No. 4, who had previously been seated and sworn him. His prior arrest was questioned by the DA.
A seated juror was called for questioning, with prosecutors inquiring about whether or not he was truthful in answering questions about his past criminal history.
Following a conference between the juror and Merchan, the judge said, the juror “expressed annoyance about how much information was out there about him in the public.”
And Merchan sealed the portion of the transcript where he says the juror discussed “highly personal” information.
Jury selection was underway on Thursday for Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump. Last April Trump was hit with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy.
Judge Merchan admonished the mainstream media for excessive exposure of juror information. He announced that potential jurors’ places of employment would be removed from the public record and instructed members of the media to refrain from describing jurors’ appearances.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors on Thursday claimed Trump violated the court’s gag order ‘seven more times.’
Bragg’s office on Monday asked the court to impose a $1,000 sanction for each of the 3 prior Truth Social posts, order Trump to take them down, and warn him that further violations would result in jail time.
The DA’s office was referring to was related to a New York Post article bashing Michael Cohen as a “serial perjurer.”
On Thursday, prosecutors claimed Trump violated the gag order seven more times since Monday when he quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters.
Trump posted to Truth Social on Wednesday: “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Jesse Watters
Prosecutors this week filed a motion to hold President Trump in contempt for ‘violating’ Judge Merchan’s gag order.
Judge Merchan scheduled a hearing on Bragg’s request to hold Trump in contempt for April 23.
The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels trial trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with a strict gag order.
Juan Merchan earlier this month expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.

Carlos De Oliveira (L), Trump, Walt Nauta (R)
Judge Aileen Cannon on Thursday denied motions filed by Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira to dismiss the indictments against them.
Carlos De Oliveira and Walt Nauta were indicted in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case along with President Trump.
Walt Nauta is a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago.
According to the federal indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Nauta was charged along with Trump in counts 32, 33, 43, 35, and 36.
The charges include conspiracy, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation and scheme to conceal.
Walt Nauta was also charged alone in count 38: False statements and misrepresentations.
Jack Smith charged Carlos De Oliveira, a maintenance worker who helped Trump aide Walt Nauta move boxes of documents around at Mar-a-Lago. He was added to the obstruction conspiracy charges filed in the original charges.
Judge Cannon on Thursday rejected Carlos De Oliveira’s argument that he was unaware of the subpoenas issued for the classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago. De Oliveira argued that he didn’t know that there were classified documents in the boxes.
“The arguments in Defendant De Oliveira’s Motion do not warrant dismissal of the obstruction offenses charged against him. As grounds for dismissal of those counts (Counts 33, 40, and 41), De Oliveira identifies various topics and/or allegations that are not contained in the Superseding Indictment – namely, specific allegations about his knowledge of classified documents or the contents of “the boxes” more generally, or about his knowledge of an “official proceeding” under 18 U.S.C. § 1512. De Oliveira also argues, again in support of dismissal, that the allegations in the Indictment do not show that he was capable of acting with the required “corrupt” criminal intent to support the alleged obstruction offenses. These characterizations are not grounds to dismiss the obstruction counts against De Oliveira,” Cannon wrote in the 8-page ruling reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
The Judge also rejected Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the argument that they are unconstitutionally vague.
“Defendant Nauta also moves to dismiss the charged obstruction counts—Counts 33, 34, 35, 40, and 41 — as unconstitutionally vague as applied to him and for failure to state a claim. Nauta’s principal submission is that the term “corruptly” as used in the charged § 1512 counts, see 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(2)(A), (b)(2)(B), (c)(1), is subject to multiple, still-developing, and contested judicial constructions of the term such that it fails to give ordinary people fair notice of the conduct it punishes and invites arbitrary enforcement,” Cannon wrote.
Cannon continued, “This “multiple-meanings vagueness” contention is worthy of serious consideration, but it does not lead this Court to conclude that dismissal of the obstruction counts is warranted.”
President Trump also filed several motions to dismiss the charges against him. Judge Cannon has not ruled on all of Trump’s motions.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) is now the third Republican on board to oust Speaker Johnson.
Gosar on Friday joined Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie in their effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The House of Representatives on Friday advanced a foreign aid bill that allocates billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
“Nearly 11 million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border in the past three years. My congressional district in Arizona, ground zero for the invasion, is getting pummeled by the surge of lawbreakers. These illegal aliens have brought violent crime, deadly drugs, human trafficking and are depleting resources and services meant for U.S. citizens. In fact, every state has become a border state. Communities across the country are being ravaged, families are being destroyed and Americans in need are being ignored,” Gosar said.
He added, “Congress cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the consequence of Biden’s disastrous open border policies, nor can it idly wait for Biden to halt this invasion through executive fiat. Congress has the responsibility to solve this crisis.”
“Yet rather than spending the resources to secure our southern border and combating the invasion of 11 million illegals and despite repeated promises there would be no additional money going to Ukraine without first securing our border, the United States House of Representatives, under the direction of the Speaker, is on the verge of sending another $61 billion to further draw America into an endless and purposeless war in Ukraine,” Gosar added.
“I have added my name in support of the motion to vacate the Speaker. Our border cannot be an afterthought. We need a Speaker who puts America First rather than bending to the reckless demands of the warmongers, neo-cons and the military industrial complex making billions from a costly and endless war half a world away,” concluded Congressman Gosar.

Biden spent all week campaigning in Pennsylvania and it was a total dumpster fire.
On Tuesday, Biden went to his hometown of Scranton where virtually no one showed up to see him – IN HIS OWN HOMETOWN!
On Wednesday Biden visited the steelworkers union headquarters in Pittsburgh where he claimed cannibals ate his “uncle Bosey.”
Biden copied Trump and visited a Sheetz gas station. He walked into the gas station to total silence.
There was no fanfare. No one was excited to see 81 million vote recipient Joe Biden in deep blue Pittsburgh.
On Wednesday got testy with a local reporter in Pittsburgh who pointed out that there are tons of Trump signs all over Pennsylvania but virtually no Biden signs.
One local reporter pointed out that there are virtually no Biden signs anywhere in Pennsylvania – but there are lots of Trump signs!
“When you drive around the area, you see a lot of Trump signs, not very many Biden signs do you feel like you’re in trouble here?” a reporter said to Joe Biden.
Biden got testy with the reporter.
“Well you haven’t been driving in the right places, pal,” Biden said.

Hillary Clinton described Joe Biden and the Democrat party and she trashed Trump during her podcast interview with Marc Elias, a far-left lawyer who helped Hillary purchase the fake Trump-Russia dossier in 2016.
Typical projection.
“Putin does what [Trump] would like to do,” Hillary Clinton said to corrupt left-wing lawyer Marc Elias on his “Democracy Docket” podcast. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance. That’s what Trump really wants. And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because in that world, he only sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin. He sees Xi. He sees Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.”
“You have been right about everything. I feel like you were cheated. I think that your election was not on the up and up because Russia got involved… and Donald Trump, and all that,” Marc Elias.
Hillary replied, “If he ever gets back near the White House again, it will be like having a dictator. I don’t say that lightly. Go back and read Project 2025. They’re going to fire everybody. The person in the government who knows about the next pandemic? Get rid of him.”

Friday marked day four of Trump’s ‘hush money’ trial in New York City.
The day took a dramatic turn when a far-left protestor set himself on fire outside of the courthouse.
12 jurors were selected and five more alternate jurors were seated.
One prospective juror broke down in tears after revealing her connection to Trump’s former lawyer and convicted perjurer Michael Cohen and former NJ governor Chris Christie.
“I feel so nervous and anxious right now,” the juror said as she began to cry.
“I don’t want to waste the court’s time,” she said. “I thought I could do this. This is so much more stressful than I thought it was going to be.”
The judge excused the juror.
Fox News reported:
A potential juror who said she had connections to both former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen has been excused.
The woman said her father is a lifelong friend of Christie, who ran against former President Trump in the 2016 and 2024 Republican primaries, and that she works at the same company as Cohen’s son, although they’ve never crossed paths. The juror said she initially thought she could remain impartial but realized she could not.
The judge called her to the bench. After a brief exchange, she was excused.

Democrats want Trump dead.
House Democrats on Friday moved to strip President Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is convicted.
Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson introduced a resolution that would terminate Trump’s Secret Service protection. The legislation dubbed the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act would apply to all Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced under felony charges.
“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,” the announcement said.
“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,” Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson said according to the Washington Times.
“Obvious subtext here is that removing USSS would make it easier for someone to kill Trump, which is arguably the goal of Thompson’s bill, H.R. 8081,” Byron York said.
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson ran the January 6 committee, which mixed elements of show trial and reality series. Focused solely on Trump, of course. Now, Thompson wants to take away Trump’s Secret Service protection if Trump is convicted on any of the 88 felony charges…

George Alan Kelly
A jury on Friday was deadlocked and unable to return a unanimous verdict in the murder trial for Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly.
George Kelly, the Arizona rancher who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault for defending his wife and property from illegal invaders went on trial last month.
Kelly, 75, was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.
According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.
According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.
George Alan Kelly was careful to shoot above their heads, the lawyers said.
The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.
Kelly was initially charged with first-degree murder, but a judge recently downgraded his charge to second-degree murder during an evidentiary hearing in court.
Kelly’s defense attorney Brenna Larkin told jurors that her client “was in a life or death situation.”
Jurors deliberated on Thursday and were unable to reach a verdict. Deliberations continued on Friday and after more than 7 hours the jury sent a note to the judge and informed him they could not reach a verdict.
Jury deliberations will resume on Monday.
AZ Central reported:
A jury was unable to reach a verdict on Friday afternoon in the trial of a Nogales-area rancher charged with killing an unarmed migrant crossing his 170-acre property.
After more than seven hours of deliberation, the jury sent a note to Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink saying jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict. The judge asked them to continue deliberating and offered for them to leave early Friday and return on Monday.
Rancher George Alan Kelly, 75, faces one count of second-degree murder in the death of Gabriel Cuen Buitimea and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after being accused of putting another man, Daniel Ramirez, in danger as they were crossing his 170-acre spread near the international border.

It has been more than 8 months since the FBI killed disabled veteran Theodore Deschler in a pre-dawn raid at his mother’s Tennessee home and they are refusing to provide any details about the case.
The Tennessee Star reached out to the FBI this week for answers about the deadly raid. The FBI told them to pound sand.
“We don’t discuss tactics, techniques or the way we operate,” Memphis FBI Chief Division Counsel and Public Affairs Officer Joel Siskovic said to The Tennessee Star. “That’s not a question we would ever answer.”
The Tennessee Star reported:
More than eight months after a raid that left a Henderson man dead, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) won’t disclose details about the case, while the local police department says they weren’t made aware of the raid until after it happened.
FBI agents shot and killed Theodore Deschler (pictured above) at his mother’s home where he lived in August of last year.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain murky. This week, The Tennessee Star followed up with the law enforcement entities involved in the deadly raid, but details remain hard to come by.
The Star asked the FBI what transpired before Theodore Deschler’s death.
“We don’t discuss tactics, techniques or the way we operate,” Memphis FBI Chief Division Counsel and Public Affairs Officer Joel Siskovic said. “That’s not a question we would ever answer.”
Siskovic said the FBI never discusses operations like the raid on Theodore Deschler’s home and that the only way to obtain more information is through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The family is also desperately seeking answers after FBI agents busted down the door to Bonnie Deschler’s home and killed her son Theodore Deschler in front of her in a pre-dawn raid last August.
The FBI is refusing to tell Bonnie Deschler why they showed up in armored vehicles at 6 am on August 16, pulled her out of the house, tossed her into the back of a police vehicle, and fatally shot her unarmed son.
“It’s none of your business!” FBI agents told her after they blew up her house and killed her son.
Theodore Deschler
According to WBBJ, FBI agents showed up at Bonnie Deschler’s home in Henderson, Tennessee to serve her son Theodore an arrest warrant when things turned deadly.
A neighbor told WBBJ he woke up at 6 am after he heard a loud bang.
“I was woken up at about six o’clock this morning. I heard a loud bang. Then I heard a couple more. I heard the loudspeakers, ‘Come out with your hands up. We’re the FBI. We’re not going anywhere.’ Before I knew it, I was coming out to see what was going on and watched them bust out their windows,” a neighbor told WBBJ.
Theodore’s family believes he was unarmed when the agents busted down the door and threw flashbangs into the home.
“It was a senseless act. You know Teddy was a 100% disabled veteran. He had problems. He had severe PTSD. He had depression but he was getting help for it but this was senseless. He didn’t have a weapon on him. He was just trying to get out of the house because it was filled with tear gas,” Theodore’s mother Bonnie told WBBJ.
The house was destroyed by tear gas, flashbangs and bullets. Most of the windows were busted out.
According to Bonnie Deschler, her son was unarmed and standing in the doorway when he was killed by FBI agents.
“You couldn’t see. The height of the door and where Teddy was standing when they shot him and killed him, you couldn’t see if he was armed or not and you know he wasn’t. Because if you look at the door you could see where his hands were full of blood and went down the door. Well if he had a weapon in his hand…,” Bonnie Deschler told WBBJ.
The FBI-involved shooting is currently under investigation so the family is in the dark about the details of the raid.
According to Fox News, in a previously unreported detail, Theodore Deschler “was arrested as a suspect following a gas station stabbing in a nearby town, according to the Selmer Police Department.”
Details of the stabbing, which occurred in May just a few months before the FBI raid are unclear.
It is also unclear if there are any charges stemming from the stabbing or if the FBI raid was connected to the incident.

Marxist New York Attorney General Letitia James asked a judge to void Trump’s $175 million bond that he posted to appeal the civil fraud case
Letitia James argued that California-based Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) is not approved to do business in New York.
James also questioned whether KSIC has the funds to back up the $175 million bond Trump previously posted.
“Based on KSIC’s policyholder surplus in its most recent annual financial statement of $138,441,671, the limitation of loss on any one risk that KSIC is permitted to write is $13.8 million,” Letitia James’ office wrote in a 26-page filing according to Fox News. “The face amount of the bond exceeds this limitation by $161.2 million.”
James also argued in her filing: “KSIC is not qualified to act as the surety under this standard because its management has been found by federal authorities to have operated affiliated companies within KSIC’s holding company structure in violation of federal law on multiple occasions within the past several years.”
“KSIC does not now have an exclusive right to control the account and will not obtain such control unless and until it exercises a right to do so on two days’ notice,” James’ office wrote in the filing.
Letitia James asked the judge to void Trump’s bond and require him to post another bond within 7 days of the court’s decision.
Fox News reported:
New York Attorney General Letitia James is pushing the judge in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case to void the $175 million bond that Trump previously posted to appeal his New York civil lawsuit.
In her 26-page filing obtained by Fox News Digital, James questions whether the insurance company has sufficient funds to back it up.
Trump’s bond was posted by California-based Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), but James argued that the insurer was “not authorized” to write business in New York, stating it is a small insurer that is not authorized to write business in New York and is not regulated by the state’s insurance department, had never before written a surety bond in New York or in the prior two years in any other jurisdiction, and has a total policyholder surplus of just $138 million.
The company has a total policyholder surplus of just $138 million, the filing states. According to New York state law, smaller businesses like KSIC are not permitted to expose themselves to liabilities, like a bond, or any potential loss greater than 10 percent of their surplus.
An appellate court last month ruled that President Trump can post a $175 million bond to cover Letitia James’ $464 million judgment.
Letitia James last month took the initial step to seize Trump’s assets. She filed judgments in Westchester County where Trump’s private estate and golf course named Seven Springs is located.
President Trump had to either pay the judgment or convince the appellate court to allow him to defer the payment pending appeal.
Trump’s legal team filed an appeal and requested a stay on the massive $464 million judgment last month.
Last month Trump’s attorneys sent a letter to the Appellate Division of New York’s Supreme Court and asserted Letitia James’ actions are “unconstitutional.”
The appellate court intervened and ruled Trump can post $175 million bond.
“It is ordered that the motion is granted to the extent of staying enforcement of those portions of the Judgment (1) ordering disgorgement to the Attorney General of $464,576,230.62, conditioned on defendants-appellants posting, within ten (10) days of the date of this order, an undertaking in the amount of $175 million dollars,” the two-page order from the appellate said, according to ABC News.
Letitia James immediately launched an attack on Trump after the appellate court lowered the bond to $175 million and now she’s trying to void it so she can seize Trump’s properties.

The ‘whistleblower’ who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal.
In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country.
But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Biden’s son Hunter millions of dollars.
Those payments – along with other evidence tying Joe Biden to his family’s business dealings – received little attention in 2019 as Ciaramella accused Trump of a corrupt quid pro quo. Neither did subsequent evidence indicating that Hunter Biden’s associates had identified Shokin as a “key target.” These matters are now part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
“It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial [to exonerate Trump],” said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who has testified as an expert witness in the ongoing Biden impeachment inquiry. “Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden’s account and established his son’s interest in the Shokin firing.”
Ciaramella’s role – including high-level discussions with top Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors – is only now coming to light thanks to the recent release of White House emails and photos from the National Archives.
The emails show Ciaramella expressed shock – “Yikes” is what he wrote – at Biden’s move to withhold the $1 billion in aid from Kyiv, which represented a sudden shift in U.S. policy. They also show he was drawn into White House communications over how to control adverse publicity from Hunter taking a lucrative seat on Burisma’s board.
Yet there is no evidence Ciaramella raised alarms about the questionable Biden business activities he witnessed firsthand, which is in sharp contrast to 2019. In that instance, he was galvanized into action after being told by White House colleague Alexander Vindman of an “improper” phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, Trump solicited Zelensky’s help in investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden’s role in the company.
Some former congressional investigators say Ciaramella effectively helped cover up a scandal far worse than what Trump was impeached over. What’s more, he failed to disclose that he had a potential conflict of interest stemming from his connection to the matter Trump asked Zelensky to probe when he lodged his complaint against Trump. RealClearInvestigations was the first to identify the then-33-year-old Ciaramella as the anonymous impeachment “whistleblower,” something major media continue to keep under tight wraps.
Ciaramella worked under CIA Director John Brennan when President Obama made Biden his point man on Ukraine in 2014, the same year Burisma hired Hunter. The next year, the CIA detailed Ciaramella, a longtime advocate for aid to Ukraine, to the White House, where he worked closely with Biden and his staff as a top adviser on key Ukrainian policies. After Biden left office, he stayed on at the GOP White House until mid-2017 even though he’s a Democrat, working as a Ukrainian and Russian analyst on Trump’s National Security Council. Co-workers there accused him of trying to sabotage Trump, including allegedly leaking sensitive information to the press.
RealClearInvestigations has reviewed more than 2,000 pages of newly disclosed archived emails from the former vice president’s office related to Ukraine, of which more than 160 contained references to Ciaramella. They reveal that his role advising Biden’s office potentially intersects with the current impeachment inquiry in several areas. Chiefly, Ciaramella focused on aid to Ukraine and anti-corruption reforms in the country. In that capacity, he:
Former Obama-Biden administration officials have confirmed in recent closed-door congressional testimony that Ciaramella was a key part of Biden’s process for making policy in Ukraine. In 2016, for instance, a White House photo shows him taking notes at a White House meeting Biden held with then-Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk to discuss Ukraine’s anti-corruption reforms and other issues.
Ciaramella also worked directly with top Obama and Biden administration diplomats on Ukraine, including senior State Department official Victoria Nuland. “Eric was regularly the clearing authority to get me into the White House for interagency meetings on Ukraine,” Nuland revealed in a 2020 Senate deposition. Asked if she ever discussed Ukraine policy and Shokin with Ciaramella, Nuland testified: “Of course, I did. He was part of the interagency process. He was also on my negotiating team for the six, seven rounds of negotiations I did with the Russians on [the disputed Ukraine region] Donbas.”
Ciaramella was directly involved in talks concerning the massive U.S. aid package to Ukraine that Biden conditioned on the removal of Shokin, who at the time had seized the assets of the corrupt Burisma oligarch employing Hunter Biden. He also arranged and participated in White House talks with Ukrainian prosecutors visiting from Shokin’s office.
White House visitor logs confirm Ciaramella escorted Shokin’s deputy prosecutor, David Sakvarelidze, into the White House for a January 2016 meeting. A White House agenda for the meeting lists Ciaramella as “point of contact” for the Ukrainian delegation. He also checked in Andriy Telizhenko, the Ukrainian Embassy official who says they discussed Burisma and Hunter Biden during the meeting and struggled to understand why his U.S. counterparts were suddenly hostile to Shokin after praising him in earlier talks.
Emails from the time show Ciaramella appeared surprised to hear about the linkage between the $1 billion loan to Ukraine and the dismissal of Shokin. Though Biden maintains he insisted Kyiv oust Shokin because he was too soft on weeding out fraud in entities that included Burisma, Ciaramella suggested he didn’t share the view that Shokin was corrupt. “We were super impressed with the group,” Ciaramella added, “and we had a two-hour discussion of their priorities and the obstacles they face.”
On Jan. 21, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt emailed Ciaramella and other White House aides an article from the Ukrainian press – “U.S. loan guarantee conditional on Shokin’s dismissal.”
“Yikes. I don’t recall this coming up in our meeting with them,” Ciaramella replied, referring to the White House meeting he hosted with top Ukrainian prosecutors.
But in a closed-door 2020 deposition before the Senate, Pyatt sounded skeptical that Ciaramella was in the dark about the decision. “I think you have to ask Eric what he meant by ‘Yikes,’” Pyatt told Senate investigators. He said that he believed conditioning the loan guarantee on Shokin’s removal “obviously came up in those meetings” hosted by Ciaramella, suggesting that Biden’s aide knew of the quid pro quo before Pyatt circulated the article about it from the Ukrainian press.
The day before he hosted the Ukraine prosecutors, Ciaramella received an agenda from a State Department official that asked him to “note the importance of appointing a new PG [Prosecutor General], reiterating that Shokin is an obstacle to reform,” according to emails. The agenda also called on Ciaramella to “ask the del [Ukrainian delegation] what high-level cases are on the docket for prosecution,” which raises suspicions in some quarters that Biden’s advisers were fishing for information about Shokin’s plans for prosecuting Burisma oligarchs, something Hunter Biden had been asked to find out.
In a Jan. 21 email, Pyatt told Ciaramella to “buckle in” because, as he later explained to Senate investigators, the deal was a “difficult issue” and “there was going to be political controversy around this [news].”
The former ambassador demurred when asked if conditioning the $1 billion on Shokin’s firing was Biden’s idea or came from his office. “It was the – our interagency policy,” he testified, adding, “I don’t remember when the vice president would have weighed in on this.”
However, Pyatt allowed that it was a sudden change in policy. “At the beginning,” he said, “it was not our expectation that Shokin’s removal would be necessary.” Indeed, an Oct. 1, 2015, memo summarizing the recommendation of the Interagency Policy Committee on Ukraine stated, “Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its [anti-corruption] reform agenda to justify a third [loan] guarantee.” Ciaramella was a member of the IPC task force, which monitored Shokin’s office. The next month, moreover, the task force drafted a loan guarantee agreement that did not call for Shokin’s removal. Then, in December, Joe Biden flew to Kyiv to demand his ouster.
If what Ciaramella expressed in his email (which he knew would be part of archived White House records) was a genuine reaction, it appears that Vice President Biden went against the recommendation of one of his top NSC advisers on Ukraine. If Ciaramella were genuinely alarmed, he might have blown the whistle on his boss like he did on Trump, but he stayed mum. If, on the other hand, Ciaramella were a party to the quid-pro-quo discussions, as Pyatt suggests, then he had “a direct conflict,” noted Derek Harvey, the former congressional investigator involved in the first impeachment. Either way, Ciaramella clearly found himself in the middle of a major controversy.
Just weeks prior, White House photos indicate that Ciaramella traveled with Biden on the same December 2015 Air Force Two flight the vice president took to Kyiv to threaten Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to ax Shokin. Republicans have accused Biden of pushing Shokin’s ouster to block scrutiny of his son’s actions.
“Biden called an audible and changed U.S. policy toward Ukraine to benefit his son on the plane ride to Ukraine,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said, and “later bragged about withholding a U.S. loan guarantee if Ukraine did not fire the prosecutor [Shokin].”
Biden and his supporters have repeatedly claimed Shokin had to go because he wasn’t cracking down on corruption and that everyone else in the administration, as well as Europe, agreed Shokin should be fired. This remains the prevailing narrative in major U.S. media. But around that time, Shokin had conducted a raid of Burisma oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky’s home, seizing his house, cars, and other assets.
IRS Special Agent Joseph Ziegler, who examined Hunter’s emails as part of his investigation of Hunter for tax evasion, said Shokin was identified as a “key target” in emails exchanged between Hunter and Burisma officials in November 2015 – the month before Biden traveled to Ukraine to demand Shokin’s removal. Just days before Biden arrived in Kyiv in early December 2015 to demand Shokin’s ouster, Hunter allegedly called his father from Dubai following a meeting there with Burisma official Vadym Pozharskyi, who asked him to pressure his father to shut down Shokin’s investigation. Vice President Biden was familiar with Pozharskyi, having met with him in April 2015 during a dinner at the Cafe Milano in D.C. arranged by Hunter.
“The unstated goal was to have the Ukrainian prosecutor removed in an effort to close the criminal case against [Burisma founder] Zlochevsky,” Ziegler said in recent testimony before the House impeachment inquiry. After Shokin was pushed out of office, the Burisma investigation dried up.
Ciaramella tried to marshal a defense for Biden in the whistleblower complaint he sent to Rep. Adam Schiff in August 2019. He listed among Trump’s concerns at the time of the fateful July phone call “that former Vice President Biden had pressured Poroshenko in 2016 to fire Shokin in order to quash a purported criminal probe into Burisma Holdings.” But Ciaramella attempted to pour cold water on the notion by referencing a Bloomberg News article that quoted a “former senior Ukrainian prosecutor” who falsely claimed “that Mr. Shokin in fact was not investigating Burisma at the time of his removal in 2016.”
White House emails reveal that Ciaramella was looped into messages sent by Biden’s communications team, who were concerned that Hunter Biden taking a position on corrupt Burisma’s board created unseemly optics and undercut their boss’ mission to clean up corruption in Ukraine.
In a Dec. 8, 2015, email, for example, Biden’s communications director Kate Bedingfield copied Ciaramella on a link to a New York Times article headlined, “The Knotty Ties Between Joe Biden, His Son and Ukraine.” Bedingfield is quoted in the story, authored by James Risen, denying Hunter had traveled with his father to Ukraine in an attempt to downplay his influence. She also said Ukrainian officials never raised his position on the Burisma board with Biden as an issue of concern. Risen got spun, however, on the issue of compensation for Hunter, reporting that it was “not out of the ordinary.”
At the time, Burisma was paying Hunter, who had no energy sector experience, $1 million a year just for lending his name to its board. It turns out that Hunter never traveled to Ukraine for a single meeting in the five years he sat on Burisma’s board. Republicans suspect Biden got the prosecutor ousted to keep the money flowing from Burisma to the Biden family.
Career State Department officials led by George Kent, who was stationed in Ukraine at the time, tried to get Biden’s aides to raise the issue of potential family conflicts with the vice president. Despite their concerns, Biden never asked his son to step down from the Burisma board, which would have made all questions go away. And despite Kent and other officials identifying Burisma founder Zlochevsky by name as a corrupt actor in Ukraine, Biden himself never publicly called Zlochevsky out as corrupt while Hunter served on his board and pocketed millions in payments from him. For all his talk of fighting corruption in Ukraine, Biden failed to distance himself from one of the most corrupt oligarchs in the country.
Harvey, who served as the staff investigator for the Republican side of the House Intelligence Committee during the 2019 Trump impeachment hearings, said: “The [Biden] impeachment inquiry should compel Ciaramella to testify since we now know he was involved in communications about Biden using the $1 billion in aid to extort Ukraine into firing Shokin.”
Harvey said Ciaramella would make a valuable material witness against Biden in the probe, which centers on whether Biden used his White House clout or political influence on behalf of his son’s foreign paymasters. White House photos indicate Ciaramella took notes during his meetings with Biden, his staff, and Ukrainian officials – materials that lawmakers could subpoena along with his testimony.
Another former staff investigator noted that Ciaramella is no longer protected by federal whistleblower laws. He has left the government and now works as a senior fellow focusing on Ukraine and Russia for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, where he is consulting with White House officials and pushing for billions more in U.S. aid for Ukraine – including “a Marshall Plan for the Ukrainian military.” Through a spokesperson, Ciaramella declined to comment.
“None of the whistleblower protections apply to this particular situation,” said Jason Foster, former chief investigative counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee and a whistleblower expert. He also noted that the Whistleblower Protection Act doesn’t shield whistleblowers from any other conduct they might have been involved in, including their own conduct. Nor does it give them a legal right to anonymity.
A spokeswoman for the House Oversight Committee, which is leading the Biden impeachment inquiry, declined to say whether Ciaramella is on the witness list. “I don’t have anything for you on this at this time,” said House Oversight Communications Director Jessica Collins. However, Comer has publicly described the “whistleblower” impeachment of Trump as a “cover-up” operation for the alleged Biden blackmail scheme in Ukraine involving U.S. aid and the Burisma corruption probe.
What Ciaramella witnessed and what he documented in notes he took during high-level Biden-Ukraine meetings could now be relevant to the active impeachment inquiry of President Biden. The House may have little choice but to hold the kind of hearings the Democrats blocked during the earlier impeachment by keeping Ciaramella’s identity – and his own potential conflict – secret.
As the catalyst for Trump’s impeachment, Ciaramella could now be a reluctant witness for Biden’s.

“This MAGA movement preys on folks who are often scared and not the most informed, twisting their legitimate worries into racism, xenophobia, and outright paranoia. You’ve got to call it out, loud and clear to save them from themselves—that’s my mantra. There’s a better way. I make sure they hear it,” he said.

Hillary Clinton produced “Suffs” on Broadway and celebrated at the opening in New York last week.
“Suffs” is about the “suffragists” in the early 1900s who fought for women’s right to vote.
“It’s 1913 and the women’s movement is heating up in America, anchored by the suffragists — “Suffs,” as they call themselves — and their relentless pursuit of the right to vote. Reaching across and against generational, racial, and class divides, these brilliant, flawed women entertain and inspire us with the story of their hard-won victory in an ongoing fight. So much has changed since the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment over a century ago, and yet we’re reminded sometimes we need to look back, in order to march fearlessly into the future,” the shows description read.
Hillary made the show about herself. Of course she talked about herself as she spoke to the media on opening day.

Opening statements were underway in President Trump’s ‘hush payment’ trial in New York City on Monday morning.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor lied during his opening statement and claimed Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election” when he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
Trump has denied the affair.
Bragg’s top prosecutor who gave the opening statement on Monday – Matthew Colangelo – previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
“The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a former top Biden DOJ appointee – told jurors, according to AP.
Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April 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 payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Alvin Bragg didn’t explain what exactly he wanted to convict Trump of in the charging documents.
Bragg told reporters he doesn’t have to tell anyone what the underlying felony is.
This is a glaring example of a two-tiered justice system.
Recall that the FEC in 2022 fined Hillary Clinton and the DNC $113,000 for lying about funding the fake Russia dossier.
The FEC fined Clinton and said her campaign violated the rules because they failed to disclose payments funneled to Fusion GPS through DNC law firm Perkins Coie.
Hillary Clinton got a light slap on the wrist for her crimes while Trump is on trial in New York City.
But President Donald Trump sits in court and is abused and slandered by the prosecutors and presiding judge, a far left Trump-hater.
Democrats are destroying our justice system like everything else they touch before our eyes.

A judge on Monday smacked down Marxist tyrant Letitia James and ruled in favor of Trump in a fight over a $175 million bond.
On Friday, Letitia James asked a judge to void Trump’s $175 million bond that he posted to appeal the civil fraud case
Letitia James argued that California-based Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) is not approved to do business in New York.
James also questioned whether KSIC has the funds to back up the $175 million bond Trump previously posted.
“Based on KSIC’s policyholder surplus in its most recent annual financial statement of $138,441,671, the limitation of loss on any one risk that KSIC is permitted to write is $13.8 million,” Letitia James’ office wrote in a 26-page filing according to Fox News. “The face amount of the bond exceeds this limitation by $161.2 million.”
James also argued in her filing: “KSIC is not qualified to act as the surety under this standard because its management has been found by federal authorities to have operated affiliated companies within KSIC’s holding company structure in violation of federal law on multiple occasions within the past several years.”
“KSIC does not now have an exclusive right to control the account and will not obtain such control unless and until it exercises a right to do so on two days’ notice,” James’ office wrote in the filing.
Letitia James asked the judge to void Trump’s bond and require him to post another bond within 7 days of the court’s decision.
The judge ruled against Letitia James on Monday and said Trump’s $175 million bond can stand.

Fox News reported:
Former President Trump’s $175 million bond judgment stemming from his non-jury civil trial will stand, a New York judge ruled Monday after New York Attorney General Letitia James attempted to invalidate it.
Lawyers for James on Monday argued that the court should void Trump’s slashed judgment of $175 million in his non-jury civil fraud trial. James questioned whether the company that posted the massive bond, Knight Specialty Insurance, could actually pay the bond if needed.
The court, though, ruled against James, deciding that the bond will stand.
The court decided the $175 million needs to be in cash — not in mutual funds or securities where the value can fluctuate. The court said Knight Insurance cannot trade or move the money, but said they will retain control of the account.
The court also ruled that Knight Insurance must provide a monthly financial statement to James showing the $175 million in cash and decided that the agreement cannot change without approval from the court.

AZ Central reported:
Jurors in the murder case against a Nogales-area rancher accused of killing an unarmed migrant on his property were unable to reach a unanimous verdict and remained deadlocked on the charges.
After more than 15 hours of deliberation, the judge declared a mistrial just after 4:30 p.m.
The trial centered on the Jan. 30 death of Mexican migrant Gabriel Cuen Buitimea who was found shot after rancher George Alan Kelly fired warning shots into the air, alleged his defense attorney.
George Kelly, the Arizona rancher who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault for defending his wife and property from illegal invaders went on trial last month.
Kelly faced a second-degree murder charge for Buitimea’s death, and an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for putting another man, Daniel Ramirez in danger. Ramirez had been traveling with Buitimea looking for work in the U.S. Buitimea’s body was found 115 yards, a football field away from Kelly’s house hours after the shooting incident.
Attorneys and the judge discussing which instructions to pass on to the jury noted the jurors looked tired and frustrated earlier that day when they told the judge they were at an impasse.
Kelly, 75, was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.
According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.
According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.
George Alan Kelly was careful to shoot above their heads, the lawyers said.
The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.
Kelly was initially charged with first-degree murder, but a judge recently downgraded his charge to second-degree murder during an evidentiary hearing in court.
Kelly’s defense attorney Brenna Larkin told jurors that her client “was in a life or death situation.”

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ordered key evidence in Jack Smith’s classified documents case to be unredacted.
The newly unredacted documents revealed Biden’s White House had direct ties to the Mar-a-Lago raid. The Biden Regime was also directly tied to Jack Smith’s investigation despite claims to the contrary from US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The newly unredacted documents revealed the FBI codename for the investigation into presidential records stored at Mar-a-Lago was “Plasmic Echo.”
“[Redacted] PLASMIC ECHO; Mishandling of Classified or National Defense Information; UNKNOWN SUBJECT; SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER” the document dated February 24, 2022 read.
What does this mean?
One month later on March 30 US Attorney General Merrick Garland approved a full investigation.
The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.
Machine-gun-toting agents descend on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and by November Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.
Within a few months Special Counsel Jack Smith had issued a flurry of subpoenas and by June 2023 Trump was indicted on 37 federal charges.
The FBI’s investigation into Trump’s presidential records stored at Mar-a-Lago have all the hallmarks of their previous witch hunt of the former president.
Recall that the FBI dubbed their investigation into Trump’s 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane.”
In July 2016, FBI special agent Peter Strzok opened a counter-intel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle.
For years the DOJ and FBI resisted the release of the “electronic communication” used to launch the scam investigation because it revealed the entire spying operation was a scam.
The EC revealed Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane based on third-hand information that the Russian government “had been seeking prominent members of the Donald Trump campaign in which to engage to prepare for potential post-election relations should Trump be elected U.S. President.”
Last year Special Counsel John Durham released his final report concluding the FBI had no verified intel when it opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump in 2016.

The bullet that killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea was never recovered so authorities were never able to conduct a ballistics test to see if it matched George Kelly’s AK-47.
Kelly’s defense attorneys argued cartel bandits shot and killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea and robbed him.
Will Biden’s corrupt Justice Department come after George Kelly if the Santa Cruz County Attorney decides not to pursue the case with a new trial?

President Trump was back in court on Tuesday morning in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial in New York City.
Prosecutors last week filed a motion to hold President Trump in contempt for ‘violating’ Judge Merchan’s expanded gag order which barred the former president from criticizing his family members.
Judge Merchan on Tuesday held a hearing on Bragg’s request to hold Trump in contempt of court and fined for violating his gag order. The judge said he is going to wait to rule on whether Trump violated the gag order. It is unclear when he will actually issue the ruling.
According to AP, President Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche told the court that Trump “is being very careful to comply” with the gag order.
Judge Merchan, whose daughter is making tens of millions of dollars off of his case against Trump, blasted Todd Blanche: “You’re losing all credibility.”
Trump slammed Judge Merchan during a break on Tuesday.
“HIGHLY CONFLICTED, TO PUT IT MILDLY, JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN, HAS TAKEN AWAY MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. EVERYBODY IS ALLOWED TO TALK AND LIE ABOUT ME, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND MYSELF. THIS IS A KANGAROO COURT, AND THE JUDGE SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF!” Trump said on Truth Social.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors last Thursday claimed Trump violated the court’s gag order ‘seven more times.’
Bragg’s office last Monday asked the court to impose a $1,000 sanction for each of the 3 prior Truth Social posts, order Trump to take them down, and warn him that further violations would result in jail time.
The DA’s office was referring to was related to a New York Post article bashing Michael Cohen as a “serial perjurer.”
Last Thursday, prosecutors claimed Trump violated the gag order seven more times since Monday when he quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters.
Trump posted to Truth Social last Wednesday: “They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,” Jesse Watters

A woman in her 60s was stabbed to death at the Universal/Studio City Metro station in Los Angeles on Monday morning in an unprovoked attack by a homeless man.
According to police, the victim was stabbed in the neck at 5 am on Monday with small kitchen knives.
The suspect fled the scene. Authorities arrested the suspect later on Monday.
The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Elliot Tramel Nowden, is being held on $2 million bail.
“This does appear to be completely unprovoked from what witnesses have told detectives,” LAPD Det. Meghan Aguilar to KTLA 5’s Rachel Menitoff. “There was no altercation prior to this violent attack.”
KTLA 5 reported:
A woman in her 60s has died following another violent incident involving public transportation in Los Angeles.
The latest incident occurred around 5 a.m. Monday morning. The victim was stabbed on the southbound train before exiting at the Universal City B Line Station at 3901 Lankershim Blvd, close to the major tourist attraction, Universal Studios.
The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Elliot Tramel Nowden. The homeless 45-year-old is charged with murder and is being held on $2 million bail, authorities said.
According to LAPD, Nowden stabbed the victim in the throat using two small kitchen knives. The woman got off the train while bleeding profusely at the station, and Nowden exited right after.
He fled the scene, but a combination of surveillance cameras and witness descriptions about the suspect and his distinctive clothing helped officers locate and arrest him a short time later near Ventura Boulevard and Vineland Avenue.
Authorities say Nowden and the victim did not know each other.

El Paso County Judge Ruben Morales on Monday dismissed riot charges against 140 illegal aliens who participated in a ‘border riot’ on April 12 and released them from state custody.
The illegals cut through the concertina wire and rushed over the border illegally on April 12.
Judge Morales said he doesn’t believe probable cause exists to keep the illegals in custody for participating in a riot.

The El Paso District Attorney can still indict the illegals on riot charges.
The alien migrants were separately hit with federal charges for illegally entering the US.
El Paso Times reported:
A county court judge dismissed 140 cases against migrants charged in an April 12 “riot” at the U.S.-Mexico border after determining there was no probable cause for their arrests.
County Court at Law 7 Judge Ruben Morales dismissed the 140 cases during a hearing Monday, April 22, after ruling Texas Department of Public Safety state troopers failed to provide probable cause for the mass arrest.
“After reviewing the affidavit, I don’t believe that (probable cause) exists,” Morales said during the hearing. “I don’t believe there is probable cause for these individuals to continue to be detained for the offense of riot participation.”
The migrants will now be released from state custody. However, all 140 migrants are still facing federal charges of illegal entry into the U.S. and will be turned over to federal custody.
This is the second time an El Paso judge has taken the side of illegal aliens.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that hundreds of illegal aliens from Africa, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela made a rush for the border in El Paso, Texas after they were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by the National Guard.
The illegals breached the concertina wire, overwhelmed National Guard members, and made a rush for the border.

According to the New York Post, the National Guard personnel reported the seizure of knives and makeshift weapons from individuals involved in the disturbance. Additionally, there was an instance where an illegal alien attempted to seize a firearm from a soldier.
Several soldiers stationed near Gate 36 on that day required medical attention for minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
On Easter Sunday, El Paso Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta ordered the release of a large group of illegal immigrants accused of participating in a violent encounter with National Guard troops along the Rio Grande.
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 January 6 defendants are rotting in prison on ‘disorderly conduct’ and ‘conspiracy to obstruct’ charges for peacefully walking through the US Capitol.

A giant Laken Riley billboard truck circled Biden’s speaking venue.
22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was recently murdered by a Venezuelan illegal.
The illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley crossed into the US on Biden’s open border invitation.
According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”
Joe Biden hesitated even to say Laken Riley’s name and he apologized for calling her killer an “illegal immigrant.”
“I’m not gonna treat any of these people with disrespect. They built this country,” Biden said after he apologized to the illegal who killed Laken Riley.

A Los Angeles Sheriff’s Deputy was shot in the back execution style by a well-known gang member with a long rap sheet on Monday.
Deputy Samuel Aispuro, 43, was sitting at a red light on his motorcycle in full uniform at an intersection in West Covina when Raymundo Duran, 47, shot him in the back.
The shooting happened at approximately 2:45 pm local time near Barranca Street and North Garvey Avenue, KABC reported.
“He was sitting on a marked black and white police motorcycle in full uniform and he was shot in the back,” Sheriff Robert Luna said, according to KABC.
According to reports, the two did not interact with each other before the deputy was shot.
Thankfully the deputy’s bulletproof vest stopped the round and saved his life.
The deputy radioed for help before he was rushed to the hospital.
“I’ve been shot. It hit the vest. Let me get my notes… The vehicle went westbound on the 10 Freeway from Barranca. Garvey and Barranca,” the deputy said over the radio.
Raymundo was arrested Monday night for drunk driving in San Diego. He had a gun on him.
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Raymundo Duran has a long criminal history.
Via Bill Melugin: Raymundo Duran is a known gang member with a violent criminal history, including a manslaughter conviction for stabbing a coworker to death in 2001, a conviction for felony evading in 2021, a conviction for felon in possession of a firearm in 2022, and a DUI arrest last October.
He also has a handful of other misdemeanor arrests.
Charges are pending.

North Korea issued a nuclear ‘warning signal’ to the United States and South Korea.
Pyongyang held a nuclear strike drill as a “warning signal” to the US, according to North Korean state media.
US Indo-Pacific Command said the launch “does not pose an immediate threat to U.S. personnel or territory, or to our allies,” stressing instead the “destabilizing impact of the DPRK’s illicit weapons program.”
“South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff claimed that any reports of such accuracy or capabilities of its weapons system were likely exaggerated, and that South Korea’s military could detect and intercept any weapons.” – Fox News reported.
Fox News reported:
North Korea’s missile test on Monday was in fact a drill to test nuclear force preparedness, according to local media.
The incident raised alarms around the region after several short-range ballistic missiles were launched near Pyongyang and flew approximately 185 miles before falling in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
The drill’s main purpose, however, was to “demonstrate the reliability, superiority, might and diverse means” of the country’s nuclear forces and the Haekbangashoe system that serves as “a clear warning signal to the enemies” of North Korea, according to the Pyongyang Times.
The Haekbangashoe system, which means “nuclear trigger,” included the maneuver of troops into a “counterattack posture” that aimed at “substantially strengthening the prompt counterattack capacity of the state nuclear force.”

Joe Biden on Wednesday signed the foreign aid package which allocates billions of dollars to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
The Senate late Tuesday approved a massive $95 billion emergency foreign aid package with no U.S. border security.
A group of RINOs joined Democrats to support the bill. The measure passed by a vote of 79 to 18.
The passing of the bill saw 48 Democrats joined by 31 Republicans in favor of the foreign aid efforts. However, 15 Republicans broke ranks to vote against the package, with three Democrats joining in opposition.
The finalized bill encompasses extensive provisions:
“It’s a good day for America,” Biden said after he signed the foreign aid package with no US border security.
“It’s a good day for America, it’s a good day for Europe, and it’s a good day for world peace,” Biden said. “It’s going to make America safer, it’s going to make the world safer, and it continues America’s leadership in the world and everyone knows it.”
“We believe America must stand up for what is right. We don’t walk away from our allies, we stand with them. We don’t let tyrants win, we oppose them,” he said.
Biden trashed “MAGA Republicans” for opposing a package that sends billions of dollars to foreign countries while ignoring the US border.
“Some of our MAGA Republicans reject that vision,” Biden added.

An illegal alien from Mexico broke into a Michigan home and sexually assaulted two girls under the age of 13.
According to police, 25-year-old Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz broke into a mobile home near Sturgis and sexually assaulted two sisters.
Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz threatened to kill the girls if they tried to scream. He used his hands to sexually assault the girls and exposed himself, according to court documents, Fox 17 reported.
He was hit with multiple charges including first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child under the age of 13 and home invasion, Fox 17 reported.
The sexual assault happened on March 20. Police finally tracked down Hernandez Ruiz in Fort Wayne, Indiana and arrested him earlier this month. He was arraigned last Friday.
Fox 17 reported:
Miguel Hernandez-Ruiz was arraigned Friday, April 19 on multiple charges including first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child under the age of 13 and home invasion.
Court documents obtained by FOX 17 show that the two girls told investigators the man held them in their rooms at the Sweet Lake Mobile Home Park off US-12 in the early morning hours of March 20.
The sisters, who are both under the age of 13, say the man threatened to kill them if they tried to scream or escape. The girls claim he used his hands to sexually assault them while exposing himself.
An evaluation by trained medical staff revealed evidence of sexual assault on both girls’ bodies.
After days of investigating, family and detectives were able to establish that Hernandez-Ruiz had visited the home roughly a month before the assault. Surveillance video showed a vehicle he was known to drive was the only one captured entering and leaving the neighborhood around the time of the home invasion.

Newsweek reported:
Texas state troopers descended on a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Texas at Austin campus on Wednesday afternoon.
In an Instagram post, the Palestine Solidarity Committee, an organization “dedicated to organizing for Palestinian liberation and right to return,” with a location in Austin, posted its plans to establish “the Popular University” at the UT Austin campus on Wednesday.
According to the post, supporters were going to “reclaim our space” by walking out of class at 11:40 a.m. and meeting at Gregory Plaza. Students were instructed to then march to occupy the lawn. They were told to bring blankets, food, face masks and energy.
The demonstration’s aim was to urge UT Austin to “divest from death” and follows similar protests that have occurred at Columbia University in New York City. More than 100 pro-Palestinian student demonstrators have camped out on Columbia’s main lawn to protest the war and demand that their school divest from companies with ties to Israel.

Tensions grew after officers forced the protesters to take down their tents and a protester was detained.
The encampment went up at the park Wednesday morning, similar to other pro-Palestinian encampments that have been part of other college campuses across the nation.
The group issued a list of demands including university divestment from any organizations that “profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide and occupation in Palestine.”
Campus Department of Public Safety officers visited the encampment, instructed students not to hang signs, flags or other materials from trees and posts in the park, and warned them not to use megaphones.

Trump 2020 alternate electors, GOP state legislators, former Arizona GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward and others were indicted by a state grand jury in Arizona on Wednesday.
Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes announced on Wednesday afternoon. She defended her witch hunt and the curious timing of the indictment – just months before the 2024 general election. Make no mistake, the charges are a warning shot to anyone who may want to challenge the 2024 election.
“We conducted a thorough and professional investigation over the past 13 months into the fake electors scheme in our state,” Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a video announcing the charges. “I understand for some of you today didn’t come fast enough.

In a dirty move, Mayes’ office knew the alternate electors were going to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights but she made them appear before a grand jury anyway. This is a highly unusual and risky move.
The Fifth Amendment allows a person to exercise their right to remain silent to protect against self-incrimination.
Democrat prosecutors requiring the Pro-Trump alternate electors to plead the Fifth before a grand jury could unnecessarily prejudice the grand jurors.
Although the Fifth Amendment is not an admission of guilt, grand jurors may assume the pro-Trump alternate electors are guilty.
The state grand jury on Wednesday indicted 11 Trump alternate electors, state legislators, GOP activists and others.
It appears Mark Meadows and possibly Rudy Giuliani or Michael Roman were also indicted, but their names were redacted.
President Trump was named “Unindicted Coconspirator-1” in the indictment because he made a phone call about the ballot counting to former governor Doug Ducey.

Excerpt from NBC News:
A state grand jury in Arizona on Wednesday indicted so-called “fake electors” who backed then-President Donald Trump in 2020, following a sprawling investigation into the alleged efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the presidential election in the state.
Among those charged is Kelli Ward, who served as chair of the Arizona GOP during the 2020 election and the immediate aftermath. She tweeted on Jan. 6, 2021, after the attack on the U.S. Capitol: “Congress is adjourned. Send the elector choice back to the legislatures.” Ward was a consistent propagator of false claims that Arizona’s election results were rigged.
Others charged include: state legislators Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman; Michael Ward, Kelli Ward’s husband; Tyler Bowyer, the Republican National Committee’s Arizona committeeman and the chief operating officer of the Trump-aligned Turning Point USA; Greg Safsten, the former Arizona GOP executive director; former U.S. Senate candidate Jim Lamon; Robert Montgomery, the former head of the Cochise County GOP; and Republican Party activists Samuel Moorhead, Nancy Cottle and Loraine Pellegrino.
The indictment lists Trump as “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.” It also includes redacted names of other people who have been charged in the case but have not yet been served.
When the Democrats cast alternate electors it’s called ‘dueling electors.’ When the Republicans cast alternate electors it’s called ‘fake electors’ and indictments come down from crooked Democrat attorneys general.
Democrat prosecutors in other states are also targeting Trump’s alternate electors.
In July Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criminally charged 16 dueling ‘Trump electors’ in the state’s 2020 election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently indicted three of Trump’s alternate electors in Georgia as part of her RICO and conspiracy case against Trump.

President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Mark Meadows were named as co-conspirators in Michigan’s alternate elector lawfare case against 16 Republican electors.
Last July Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criminally charged 16 dueling ‘Trump electors’ in the state’s 2020 election.
The charged defendants are:
Each of the 16 defendants were charged with the following felonies:
Charges against one of the sixteen defendants were dropped in exchange for cooperating with prosecutors.
It was revealed during Wednesday’s hearing that President Trump, his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows were named as co-conspirators in Dana Nessel’s alternate electors indictment.
Howard Shock, a special agent for Dana Nessel’s office testified that Trump’s former lawyer Jenna Ellis is also an unindicted co-conspirator.
ABC News reported:
Former President Donald Trump, his former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani are unindicted co-conspirators in the Michigan attorney general’s case against the state’s so-called “fake electors” in the 2020 election, a state investigator revealed in court on Wednesday.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 Republicans last year with forgery and conspiracy to commit election forgery for allegedly attempting to replace Michigan’s electoral votes for Joe Biden with electoral votes for Trump at the certification of the vote on Jan. 6, 2021.
During Wednesday’s hearing, which was part of preliminary examinations for the so-called fake electors, Howard Shock, a special agent for the attorney general’s office, also testified that former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis is also an unindicted co-conspirator.
Shock’s revelation was in response to questions from Duane Silverthorn, an attorney for Michele Lundgren, one of the so-called fake electors.
“Finally, former President Donald Trump?” asked Silverthorn.
“Yes,” Shock testified.

An armed Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris got into a physical fight with other agents at Joint Base Andrews on Monday morning.
According to reports, the problem agent began acting aggressively, speaking gibberish and shouting incoherently at other agents while they were near the lounge at JBA.
The problem agent had to be physically restrained and his firearm was taken away from him. He was handcuffed and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
One other agent was also hospitalized.
Kamala Harris was at the Naval Observatory at the time of the fight.
“The USSS remains in a temporary holding pattern until further information becomes available, the sources said. After the agent receives additional medical attention and further evaluation, it will be determined if they can return to work. An internal review will be conducted and the USSS will assess if the agent’s top secret security clearance will be removed for medical or disciplinary reasons, sources explained.” CBS News reported.
CBS News reported:
A U.S. Secret Service agent assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris exhibited “distressing behavior” Monday morning at Joint Base Andrews and was hospitalized, authorities said. Harris was not present at the airbase at the time.
In a statement provided to CBS News, the U.S. Secret Service said that at about 9 a.m. local time Monday, the agent “began displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing. The agent was removed from their assignment while medical personnel were summoned.”
Two sources briefed on the situation told CBS News the agent spouted gibberish, was speaking incoherently and provoked another officer physically.
According to sources, the agent in question pushed the special agent in charge while they were near the lounge of Joint Base Andrews.
There are reportedly DEI concerns about the hiring of the problem agent involved in the fight.

Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction was overturned by the New York Appeals Court on Thursday.
The disgraced Hollywood mogul was convicted of sexual assault and rape in 2020 during the height of the #MeToo movement.
Weinstein was also found guilty of rape in a Los Angeles sexual assault trial in 2022.
A panel of mostly female judges in New York’s high court overturned the conviction and said the remedy is a new trial.
“We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes,” the court’s 4-3 decision said, according to AP. “The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.”
The AP reported:
New York’s highest court on Thursday overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction, finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women testify about allegations that weren’t part of the case.
The court’s majority said “it is an abuse of judicial discretion to permit untested allegations of nothing more than bad behavior that destroys a defendant’s character but sheds no light on their credibility as related to the criminal charges lodged against them.”
In a stinging dissent, Judge Madeline Singas wrote that the majority was “whitewashing the facts to conform to a he-said/she-said narrative,” and said the Court of Appeals was continuing a “disturbing trend of overturning juries’ guilty verdicts in cases involving sexual violence.”
“The majority’s determination perpetuates outdated notions of sexual violence and allows predators to escape accountability,” Singas wrote.

President Trump on Thursday morning arrived at a construction site to greet union workers in New York.
Trump made the surprise visit to the construction site ahead of his ‘hush money’ trial in Manhattan.
“I did nothing wrong. It’s a political witch hunt. It’s election interference. That’s all it is!” Trump said to thunderous chants of “USA!” “USA!”
According to The New York Post, supporters lined up as early as 5 am to catch a glimpse of Trump.
“We love Trump because he loves this country!” one supporter told The Post.
You would never see this kind of energy with Joe Biden.

The Supreme Court on Thursday heard oral arguments on Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
The case made its way to the Supreme Court after the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump was not immune from prosecution.
Trump’s lawyers previously argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in last month’s filing, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”
John Sauer, a Missouri-based attorney for Trump, gave an opening statement on Thursday and argued that Jack Smith’s indictment uses vague statutes to criminalize “core authority” of the presidency.
AUDIO:
As expected, the liberal justices, similar to the appellate court judges, floated absurd hypotheticals.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan asked John Sauer, “How about if a president orders the military to stage a coup? Is that immune? Is it an official act?”
AUDIO:
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked John Sauer if Trump would be immune from prosecution if he ordered the military to assassinate his political rival.
“…If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts that for which he can get immunity?” Sotomayor asked John Sauer.
Sauer replied, “It would depend on the hypothetical. What we can see that could well be an official act.”
Sotomayor defended Obama’s drone strikes on civilians while attacking Trump.
“He could. And why? Because he’s doing it for personal reasons. He’s not doing it like President Obama is alleged to have done it to protect the country from a terrorist. He’s doing it for personal gain. And isn’t that the nature of the allegations here, that he’s not doing them, doing these acts in furtherance of an official responsibility? He’s doing it for personal gain,” Sotomayor said.
“I agree with that characterization of the indictment. And that confirms immunity, because the characterization is that there’s a series of official acts that were done for an honorable,” Sauer said.
Sotomayor continue to argue with and interrupt John Sauer.
AUDIO:
A three-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals previously asked John Sauer if Trump would be immune if he ordered assassinations.
On January 9 a three-judge panel heard oral arguments and appeared skeptical of Trump’s immunity claims – one judge, a Biden appointee, asked attorney John Sauer if Trump would be subject to criminal prosecution if he ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate his political rivals.

The justices then had the opportunity to grill Jack Smith’s prosecutor Michael Dreeben. Recall that Dreeben was one of Mueller’s goons in the special counsel’s ‘Trump-Russia’ inquisition.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito destroyed DOJ prosecutor Michael Dreeben with one question.
“If the president gets advice from the attorney general, that something is lawful, is that an absolute defense?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Yes, I think that it is,” Dreeben said.
“But won’t that give presidents incentive to be sure to pick an Attorney General who will reliably tell the president that it is lawful to do whatever the president wants to do if there’s any possible argument in favor of it?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“I think the Constitutional structure protects against that risk. The president nominates the attorney general and the Senate provides advice and consent,” Dreeben said.
This line of questioning also dovetails other questions asked by Gorsuch related to subordinate liability.
AUDIO:
Justice Alito also asked about FDR’s decision to put Japanese-Americans in camps during WWII.
“What about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II, couldn’t that have been charged?” Alito asked Dreeben.
“Today, yes,” Michael Dreeben said.

John Sauer, the Missouri-based attorney for Trump, humiliated liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson during Thursday’s oral arguments on Trump’s immunity claim before the Supreme Court.

Trump’s lawyers previously argued that Trump is immune from federal prosecution for alleged ‘crimes’ committed while he served as US President.
At issue before the Supreme Court is whether a US President is immune from criminal prosecution for official (not personal) acts.
Ketanji Brown Jackson, the dumbest woman on the high court (who can’t define a woman), set herself up when she tried to argue that future presidents would be emboldened to commit crimes if they had immunity from prosecution.
“Presidents from the beginning of time had understood that that’s a possibility, that might be what has kept this office from turning into the kind of crime center that I’m envisioning, but once we say, ‘no criminal liability Mr. President – you can do whatever you want.’ – I’m worried that we would have a worse problem than the problem of the president feeling constrained to follow the law while he’s in office,” Ketanji Brown Jackson said.
This woman is truly stupid. She walked right into it.
John Sauer dunked on Ketanji Brown Jackson.
“I respectfully disagree with that because the regime you’ve described is the regime we’ve operated under for over 234 years,” John Sauer said. “There has not been an expectation based on 234 years of unbroken political…”

Judge Aileen Cannon on Wednesday unsealed more records related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
The newly unsealed documents detail allegations that Jack Smith’s prosecutor Jay Bratt threatened Stanley Woodward, an attorney for Trump’s valet driver Walt Nauta.
Jay Bratt tried to bribe Stanley Woodward and threatened him with a sinking judicial nomination if he didn’t get Walt Nauta to testify against Trump.
“Upon Mr. Woodward’s arrival at Main Justice, he was led to a conference room where Mr. Bratt awaited with what appeared to be a folder containing information about Mr. Woodward. Mr. Bratt thereupon told Mr. Woodward he didn’t consider to be a “Trump lawyer,” and he further said that he was aware that Mr. Woodward had been recommended to President Biden for an appointment to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Bratt followed up with words to the effect of “I wouldn’t want you to do anything to mess that up,”” according to the newly unsealed records.
Judge Cannon is on an unsealing binge.

According to the indictment, Walt Nauta was told to move boxes after the former president received a subpoena in May for classified documents.
Walt Nauta is a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago.
According to the federal indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Nauta was charged along with Trump in counts 32, 33, 43, 35, and 36.
The charges include conspiracy, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation and scheme to conceal.
Walt Nauta was also charged alone in count 38: False statements and misrepresentations.

A massive fire consumed the Oceanside Pier in San Diego, California on Thursday afternoon.
The fire began around 3 pm local time.
The building at the end of the pier is vacant. It used to be a Ruby’s Diner, but it shut down three years ago after strict Covid pandemic lockdowns destroyed California thanks to Democrats.
According to NBC 7 San Diego, the city of Oceanside last year spent $5.5 million upgrading the pipes and electrical systems on the pier.
NBC 7 San Diego reported:
A massive plume of smoke quickly filled the sky, and two fire-fighting boats arrived on scene shooting water cannons at the structure at the end of the pier. A lone lifeguard vehicle posted up at the foot of pier, with a long fire hose, possibly two, running the length of the pier.
Although smoke obscured the scene, the building at the end of the pier was burning furiously. The structure was once the site of the Ruby’s Restaurant, which has stood empty since the business closed three years ago. As SkyRanger 7 arrived overhead, smoke was blowing onshore the entire length of the structure.
“The Oceanside Fire Department is currently engaged in fighting a fire on the Oceanside Pier,” OFD tweeted out at 3:14 p.m. “We are asking all citizens to please stay away from the immediate area.”
At 4 o’clock, a third vessel had joined the fight as well as a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, but smoke continued to pour out all sides of the two-story building as well as beneath the pier, with only a few flames actually visible. Over at the coast, people had started to congregate to watch the conflagration, with some posing for selfies with the historic structure aflame behind them.

Michelle Herczeg
Major DEI fail.
Who vetted this agent?
As previously reported, an armed Secret Service agent assigned to Kamala Harris got into a physical fight with other agents at Joint Base Andrews on Monday morning.
According to reports, the problem agent, identified as Michelle Herczeg, began acting aggressively, speaking gibberish and shouting incoherently at other agents while they were near the lounge at JBA.
Herczeg reportedly threw menstrual pads at another agent before getting into a brawl a JBA.
RealClearPolitics reported that Herczeg grabbed a male agent’s personal cell phone and began deleting apps on it before she completely melted down.
Agent Herczeg had to be physically restrained and her firearm was taken away from her. She was handcuffed and taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
“Herczeg then chest-bumped and shoved her superior, then tackled him and punched him. The agents involved in restraining Herczeg were especially concerned because she still had her gun in the holster. They wrestled her to the ground, took the gun from her, cuffed her, and then removed her from the terminal,” RealClearPolitics reported.
One other agent was also hospitalized.
Kamala Harris was at the Naval Observatory at the time of the fight.
The New York Post reported that agent Herzceg previously filed a $ 1 million gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas while she was a police officer.
RealClearPolitics reported:
Several sources in the Secret Service community identified the agent who physically attacked her superior as Michelle Herczeg. The altercation occurred at approximately 9 a.m. at Joint Base Andrews, the home base for Air Force One and Air Force Two, the call signs of the Boeing aircraft used by the president and vice president. Harris was at the U.S. Naval Observatory at the time of the incident, and it did not delay her travel, said agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Herczeg showed up at the terminal and began acting erratically, grabbing another senior agent’s personal phone and deleting applications on it, according to two sources familiar with the matter. The other agent, a shift leader, was able to recover his phone and then acted as if nothing had happened.
But Herczeg’s bizarre behavior didn’t stop. She then began mumbling to herself, hid behind curtains, and started throwing items, including menstrual pads, at an agent, telling him that he would need them later to save another agent and telling her peers that they were “going to burn in hell and needed to listen to God,” a source told RealClearPolitics.

Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked DOJ prosecutor Michael Dreeben (former Mueller goon) why Barack Obama was never charged for drone strikes against civilians.
“How about President Obama’s drone strikes?” Kavanaugh asked Michael Dreeben.
Dreeben defended Obama’s drone strikes that killed weddinggoers and innocent civilians.
“So the office of legal counsel looked at this very carefully and determined number one that the federal murder statute does apply to the Executive Branch, but the president wasn’t personally carrying out the strike, but the aiding and abetting laws are broad and determined that a public authority exception is built into statutes and that applied particularly to the murder statute that talks about unlawful killing did not apply to the drone strike,” Dreeben said.
Dreeben could have saved a lot of time and just said that Barack Obama has Democrat privilege.

Judge Juan Merchan on Thursday afternoon said he will consider four new Trump gag order violations as he weighs whether to hold the former president in contempt.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors last Thursday claimed Trump violated the court’s gag order ‘seven more times.’
Bragg’s office on Monday asked the court to impose a $1,000 sanction for each of the 3 prior Truth Social posts, order Trump to take them down, and warn him that further violations would result in jail time.
The DA’s office was referring to was related to a New York Post article bashing Michael Cohen as a “serial perjurer.”
Last Thursday, prosecutors claimed Trump violated the gag order seven more times since Monday when he quoted Fox News host Jesse Watters.

Biden recounted a conversation with his mother: “She said Joey, remember – true story – remember when they were desegregating… the neighborhood, you know, 70 homes built…and there was a black family moving in and people were down there protesting. I told you not to go down there and you went down. Remember that? And you came and got arrested for standing on the porch with a black family and they brought you back, the police? I said, yeah mom, I remember that!”
This is why Biden’s handlers do not allow him to do live interviews.

Of course, this conversation never happened. Biden was never arrested for standing on a porch with a black family.
This is one of Biden’s favorite lies (he has many).
The Washington Post did a fact-check on this dubious story and concluded there is no evidence to back up Biden’s claim he was arrested on the porch.
Biden never participated in the civil rights movement. He has told a version of this lie many times.
This lie has been repeatedly debunked.
In 1987, Joe Biden falsely claimed he marched in the civil rights movement and eventually dropped out of the presidential race.
Biden finally admitted he lied about marching in the civil rights movement.

“I know everyone’s going to think I’m doing a fake interview with you, but you are really here,” Howard Stern said.
The live interview was a total dumpster fire.
Joe Biden the pervert absurdly claimed “women would send very salacious pictures” to him when he was a US Senator in the 1970s.
“I got put in the 10 most eligible bachelor’s list – Biden said. (Crosstalk) “Because you were a United States Senator?” Howard Stern asked Biden.
Biden continued, “A lot of lovely women – women would send very salacious pictures and I’d just give them to the Secret Service.”
US Senators do not have Secret Service protection.
Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind.

Regulators seized Philadelphia-based Republic First Bancorp on Friday.
“Republic First operated branches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York under the name Republic Bank. It had around $6 billion in total assets at the end of 2023.” – The Wall Street Journal reported.
This is the fourth bank failure since last March on Joe Biden’s watch.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was appointed as receiver by Pennsylvania state regulators and immediately entered into an agreement with Fulton Bank to assume assets and deposits of Republic First Bancorp.
“Philadelphia-based Republic Bank was closed late today by Pennsylvania bank regulators, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. To protect depositors, we entered into an agreement with Fulton Bank to assume substantially all deposits and assets of Republic,” the FDIC said in a statement on Friday.
“Republic Bank’s 32 branches in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York will reopen as branches of Fulton Bank on Saturday (for branches with normal Saturday hours) or on Monday during normal business hours. This evening and over the weekend, depositors of Republic Bank can access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on Republic Bank will continue to be processed and loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual,” the FDIC said.
“Depositors of Republic Bank will become depositors of Fulton Bank so customers do not need to change their banking relationship in order to retain their deposit insurance coverage. Customers of Republic Bank should continue to use their existing branches until they receive notice from Fulton Bank that it has completed systems changes that will allow its branch offices to process their accounts as well,” the FDIC said.

According to a new report by The New York Post’s Steve Nelson, Biden’s surrogates tried to oust White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last October but failed.
Recall that on the first day of her job as WH Press Secretary in May 2022, Karine Jean-Pierre wanted the reporters in the briefing room to know how special she was because she is a black lesbian.
“I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a black, gay, immigrant woman—the first of all three of those to hold this position, I would not be here today if not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me. I stand on their shoulders.” the 49-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants said.
Karine Jean-Pierre is the most incompetent White House Press Secretary ever. Major DEI/Affirmative Action fail.
According to The New York Post, Mao lover and WH Comms Director Anita Dunn and WH Chief of Staff Jeff Zients tried to nudge KJP to resign gracefully but she won’t leave!
The Biden White House can’t fire Karine Jean-Pierre because she’s a black lesbian and that would be bad optics.
“There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career,” the source told The New York Post, calling it an “effort to encourage her to move along.”
“Jean-Pierre, the person added, “had been in the job for a year and a half at that point, which is a pretty standard tenure for a press secretary in what is admittedly a very demanding job [and] Jeff and Anita [tried] to have folks that she would listen to and trust talk to her about why it might be wise to do that.”” – the Post reported.
The New York Post reported:
Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned.
Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed the exasperating habit of reading canned answers directly from a binder to reporters at her regular briefings — offering what her superiors viewed as a less-than-compelling pitch for the 81-year-old Biden as he readied his re-election campaign.
De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post.
“There were a number of people she asked to engage Karine,” said one source who heard of the strategy directly from Dunn, whose role as senior adviser has been filled during the past three presidencies by Jared Kushner (Donald Trump), Valerie Jarrett (Barack Obama) and Karl Rove (George W. Bush).
The source also told The Post that Dunn had claimed White House chief of staff Jeff Zients knew about and supported the cloak-and-dagger scheme to push Jean-Pierre out of the West Wing.
According to a new report from the NY Post, the White House has been trying to push out Karine Jean-Pierre since last year. One problem: She just won't leave! And because she's a black lesbian, Democrats can't fire her! So, instead of doing what's best for the country, America is…

Florida GOP Rep. Bill Posey on Friday abruptly announced he will be retiring from Congress at the end of the year.
The 76-year-old was first elected to represent Florida’s 8th Congressional District in 2008.
“It has been the greatest honor of Katie’s and my life to represent you in Congress,” Bill Posey said in a statement. “And, polls suggest that because of YOUR support, I could remain in the job forever, and we were looking forward to another spirited campaign for a final term in office. However, earlier this week circumstances beyond my control now require me to suspect my re-election campaign.”
“I will continue to devote all possible resources to continue representing you through the end of my current term, helping President Donald Trump return to the oval office, and supporting former Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos, in whom I have the greatest trust and confidence, to take up my battles against the swamp and replace me as your Congressman,” he said.
Bill Posey endorsed Mike Haridopolos to replace his seat.
“For many years, Mike has served as my Congressional Finance Committee Chairman, while I have mentored him to replace me,” Posey said. “Mike was, and remains, my first choice to represent you, me, and our district in Congress.”
Last week GOP Rep. Jake LaTurner (KS) announced he won’t seek reelection in November. He was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2020.
According to Axios, more Republican lawmakers are expected to announce retirements in the next few weeks.

“The Texas electrical grid operator warned of a possible emergency early next week because of a potential shortfall of power reserves.” – Bloomberg reported.
“The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said Friday the grid may have deficient reserves from April 29 at 7 p.m. Central time through May 1 at 9 p.m. Ercot may delay or cancel planned power-plant outages and may need to shore up available supplies by about 2,800 megawatts.” Bloomberg reported.
3 years ago Texas got hit with a rare cold snap that spanned to the southern part of the state and the power grids gave out.
Power outages were initiated by ERCOT in February 2021 after the wind turbines froze.
Millions of Texans went without electricity for days.
Temperatures fell into the teens near Dallas and 20s around Houston with wind chills near zero.
According to state authorities, nearly half of the wind turbines in Texas froze, hurting the power supplies.
Millions of Texans suffered blackouts partly due to the frozen wind turbines.
Three years later and Texas still hasn’t moved away from ‘green’ energy sources to avoid power outages due to deficient reserves or because of frozen wind turbines.

Newly unsealed transcripts of a witness interview with a DOJ prosecutor further prove Trump was set up.
Judge Aileen Cannon ordered documents unsealed in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
An unidentified witness told DOJ prosecutor Michael Thakur that after the Trump Administration ended, the General Services Administration (GSA) stored six pallets of boxes in Virginia. They eventually contacted Trump’s team and told them to come pick up the boxes.
These were the boxes that ended up having documents with “classified markings” on them. The boxes were dumped outside of DC in Virginia and then ended up at Mar-a-Lago.
This was a total setup.
So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago. Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with "classified markings."

Last year Tim Parlatore, an attorney for Trump, said GSA quickly packed up boxes at the end of Trump’s presidency and shipped them to Florida.
“When President Trump left office, there was little time to prepare for the outgoing transition from the presidency. Unlike his three predecessors, each of whom had over four years to prepare for their departure upon completion of their second term, President Trump had a much shorter time to wind up his administration,” Trump attorney Tim Parlatore wrote in a letter to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence last April.
“White House staffers and General Service Administration (‘GSA’) employees quickly packed everything into boxes and shipped them to Florida. This was a stark change from the standard preparations made by GSA and National Archives and Records Administration (‘NARA’) for prior administrations.”
Machine gun-toting agents raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and seized boxes of classified documents that were stored in a locker room.
A few months later US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate the classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami last June for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.
Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

“I actually thought about you know, you don’t have to be crazy to commit suicide. If you’ve been at the top of a mountain you think it’s never going to be there again,” he said.

Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed an unredacted version of the FBI’s affidavit used to obtain a Mar-a-Lago search warrant.
In August 2022 the Biden Justice Department released a highly redacted Trump raid affidavit.
Media organizations asked to unseal the affidavit in support of the search warrant.
Only a redacted version was previously unsealed.
Last year Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart approved new aspects of the Trump Mar-a-Lago search warrant to be unsealed, however “the government agreed that a redacted version of the Response could be unsealed without compromising legitimate governmental interests,” Bruce Reinhart wrote in his order on motion to unseal.
The newly unredacted documents reveal how the Biden Regime shifted the investigation from classified documents to an Espionage Act case.
In the unredacted version, the unidentified FBI Special Agent says he received training at Quantico specific to “counterintelligence and espionage investigations.”
Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami last June for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which Secret Service agents protected.
Trump was charged with 31 counts under the Espionage Act of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

A Kenyan immigrant who is set to be the new mayor of Derry City, in Northern Ireland previously called Irish patriots who oppose mass immigration “terrorists.”
SDLP councillor Lilian Seenoi-Barr, an outspoken socialist, was nominated to be Derry City’s next mayor.
A selection convention scheduled for Monday evening was canceled after Lilian Seenoi-Barr was nominated for mayor. The party bypassed a vote and went straight to nominate the new mayor.
Lilian Seenoi-Barr has contempt for Irish citizens who oppose mass immigration from Africa and the Middle East.

Of course, the lefty media celebrated Derry’s first black mayor – even though she has contempt for the Irish people.
Derry Now reported:
Derry and Strabane is set to make history by having the North’s first black mayor, Derry Now can reveal.
Derry Now understands that SDLP councillor Lilian Seenoi-Barr has gained the party’s nomination to replace current incumbent Patricia Logue as the city and district’s in June.
Cllr Seenoi-Barr was first co-opted to Derry and Strabane District Council in 2021. She was subsequently elected in the 2023 local elections.
Derry Now understands that a selection convention was due to take place on Monday evening. However the meeting has since been cancelled as the party’s management committee has opted to nominate Cllr Seenoi-Barr for mayor instead of taking it to a vote among the party’s 300 members.
Two other candidates were in the running to become the SDLP’s pick for mayor, they were councillors Shauna Cusack and Jason Barr.
This is not the first time Seenoi-Barr made the headlines for calling Irish natives terrorists.
In November, five people, including children, were stabbed near a school in Dublin, Ireland, by a deranged madman.
Three children and two adults were taken to a nearby hospital with stab wounds. One child was severely injured.
It was later discovered a migrant from Algeria was behind the vicious knife attack on children.
Irish citizens rioted in the streets after this latest horrific attack by an immigrant.
Irish Socialist Councillor Lillian Seenoi-Barr spoke to the BBC following the brutal stabbing attack.
Seenoi-Barr said the Irish in Ireland are the problem. Everyone is scared of them.
Councillor Lillian Seenoi-Barr: I’ve been speaking to so many leaders since Friday. In fact, I haven’t had good sleep because we’ve just been discussing the same issues. People are very fearful. They are terrified of even thinking they will walk on the street. Not just in Dublin, across Ireland right now. They know that there’s a voice note circulating on social media calling for people to harm them, killing every immigrant in this country. It is very unsettling. Everyone is living on edge right now and we need to do something about it. We cannot continue ignoring that this is a small minority of far right. It is an organized terrorist group of people who want to harm immigrants in this country and we have to take action now! We can’t keep on calling them a small, dangerous group of people because it is an organized group of people who are radicalizing young people and encouraging them to go and harm others who are just living peacefully, who wants to live a peaceful life in this country.
She said nothing about the children being stabbed. Not one word.

Chaos erupted in Michigan at Tuesday’s Ottawa County board meeting after Satanic Temple minister ‘Luis Cypher’ delivered a Satanic invocation at the April 23rd meeting. You can watch the entire meeting here, where the Satanist invocation is from 4:02-7:20.
The Republican-led board recently changed its policies to allow pastors to deliver the invocation instead of Commissioners.
The Satanic Temple signed up and gave an invocation. The meeting descended into chaos in the lobby as people chanted, “We love Jesus!”

The Daily Mail reported:
Chaos erupted at the Ottawa County board meeting in Michigan when a member of the Satanic Church delivered an invocation to start the gathering.
A man by the name of Luis Cypher, a minister of the Satanic Temple of West Michigan, gave a speech on Tuesday reiterating the importance of separating church and state, one of the main principles of the organization.
But the massive crowd descended into protest as people chanted and sang hymns such as ‘Amazing Grace,’ put signs on the wall that said, ‘God always, Satan never’ and ‘Satan has no rights.’
One man yelled, ‘hail Satan,’ while others yelled, ‘we love Jesus.’
The exchanges remained verbal and did not escalate to physical violence.
Christians showed up in force to counter the forces of what they described as evil. Christians handed out cookies to the assembled group with a sticker referencing John 3:16 from the Bible, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Hundreds of Christians showed up to counter what ended up being a half dozen Satanists. One such Christian was Rachel Atwood, who is also running to be an Ottawa County Commissioner, who told the Gateway Pundit: “The forces of darkness and evil are active in politics and they want to win. They want to win so they can promote DEI, abortion, among other things. More Christians need to get involved right now because our opponents are literal Satanists and atheist leftists LARPing as Satanists.”
Many Christians privately noted that the Satanists did not appear to be sincerely worshipping the Devil, but just atheistic left-wing trolls.

The US Supreme Court on Monday denied Dr. Peter Navarro’s bid to be freed from prison pending his appeal.
Excerpt from The Hill:
The Supreme Court’s denial of Navarro’s request follows his second ask to the nation’s highest court to set him free while he challenges his conviction.
By default, Navarro’s first emergency request to stay out of prison while appealing the conviction went to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts, who acted on the request alone, said in March that he would not pause Navarro’s four-month prison sentence as his appeal moves forward, forcing the onetime Trump adviser to report to a federal prison in Miami on March 19.
Navarro then renewed his motion to Justice Neil Gorsuch. As the court typically does to avoid repeated efforts, Gorsuch referred the matter to the full court for a vote. Navarro’s request was again denied.
The decision means that Navarro will likely serve his four-month prison term before arguing the appeal of his conviction before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Last month Peter Navarro reported to prison for his 4-month sentence. He is the first high-ranking Trump aide to be imprisoned by the Biden Regime.
A federal appeals court previously denied Navarro’s request to remain out of jail.
The three-judge panel – all Obama appointees – included Judges Patricia Millett, Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins.
“[T]he argument presupposes that privilege has actually been invoked in this case in some manner by the President,” the judges wrote in a two-page order, according to Politico. “That did not happen here.”
In September former Trump advisor Dr. Peter Navarro, 74, was convicted of criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena in Liz Cheney’s January 6 investigation.
Navarro did not comply with the subpoena because he said Trump told him to assert executive privilege.
Biden’s DOJ has abused Dr. Navarro throughout the entire process.
According to Navarro, the feds put him in leg irons and threw him in a cell last year.

The government is giving voter registration forms to non-citizen ‘refugees.’
According to South Carolina state representative and congressional candidate Adam Morgan, the state government is including voter registration forms in packets at the Social Security Office in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
“Is the Federal Gov giving voter registration forms to non-citizens?” Adam Morgan said on X.
“Yes, at least in SC. A refugee sent us this form that was given to her in a packet at the Social Security Office in Spartanburg. She asked “Why are they giving these to non-citizens?”” he said.

Hunter Biden launched a war against Fox News with a defamation lawsuit.
“Hunter Biden’s legal team wrote that they anticipate “imminent” litigation against Fox News and requested that prominent Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters and Maria Bartiromo, preserve documentation.” Axios reported.
The lawsuit alleges “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
NBC News reported:
Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter sent to the network and obtained by NBC News.
The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
Biden has hired attorney Mark Geragos and his firm to represent him in the Fox litigation efforts. The letter is the second outreach to Fox this month. An earlier letter was hand-delivered to Fox’s counsel two weeks ago, and the network asked for more time to respond, according to a source familiar with Biden’s legal efforts. The network has not yet responded to the letter sent April 23, which included a Friday evening, April 26, deadline to respond, according to Geragos. The letter is signed by Tina Glandian, a partner at Geragos & Geragos working on the case.

The federal government warned employers that if they don’t use workers’ preferred pronouns or stop them from using bathrooms that align with their ‘gender identity’ they will face punishment.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Monday updated its guidance on workplace harassment to cover transgender, non-binary and other LGBTQ workers.
The Democrat-led EEOC voted 2-3 on Friday to update its guidance.
Employers can find themselves in court if they do not follow the new anti-bias laws and fail to adhere to the EEOC guidelines.
Reuters reported:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Monday said employers refusing to use transgender workers’ preferred pronouns and barring them from using bathrooms that match their gender identity amounts to unlawful workplace harassment under federal anti-discrimination law.
The EEOC updated its enforcement guidance, opens new tab on workplace harassment for the first time in 25 years, including to reflect a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that anti-bias laws cover LGBTQ workers, after an earlier attempt stalled during the Trump administration.
The commission in the new guidance also addressed the rise of remote work and said that discriminating against employees based on their decisions to have abortions or use contraception is a form of sex discrimination.
The guidance is not legally binding, but lays out a blueprint for how the EEOC will enforce anti-bias laws and can be cited in court to back up legal arguments.

State prosecutors on Monday said they will not retry Arizona rancher George Kelly after a judge declared a mistrial following a hung jury.
Judge Thomas Fink last Monday declared a mistrial after an Arizona jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the murder trial for Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly.
Jurors deliberated a couple of weeks ago and were unable to reach a verdict. Deliberations continued pn the following Friday and after more than 7 hours the jury sent a note to the judge and informed him they could not reach a verdict.
Far-left protestors posted up outside of the court in Nogales demanded a retrial.

Kelly, 75, was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.
According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.
According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.
The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.
The bullet that killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea was never recovered so authorities were never able to conduct a ballistics test to see if it matched George Kelly’s AK-47.
Kelly’s defense attorneys argued cartel bandits shot and killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea and robbed him.
Will Biden’s corrupt Justice Department come after George Kelly now that the Santa Cruz County Attorney decided not to pursue the case with a new trial?

AP reported:
West Virginia and North Carolina’s refusal to cover certain health care for transgender people with government-sponsored insurance is discriminatory, a federal appeals court ruled Monday in a case likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 8-6 in the case involving coverage of gender-affirming care by North Carolina’s state employee health plan and the coverage of gender-affirming surgery by West Virginia Medicaid.
“The coverage exclusions facially discriminate on the basis of sex and gender identity, and are not substantially related to an important government interest,” Judge Roger Gregory, first appointed by former President Bill Clinton and re-appointed by former President George W. Bush, wrote in the majority opinion.
The ruling follows a decision earlier this month by 4th Circuit judges that West Virginia’s transgender sports ban violates the rights of a teen athlete under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools.

Update: Later Tuesday Fox News removed its Hunter Biden miniseries after a lawsuit threat.
CNN reported:
Fox News on Tuesday removed a six-part Hunter Biden miniseries from its streaming platform, after his attorneys threatened to sue the right-wing network over the incendiary and at-times sexually explicit program about his legal troubles.
The removal is a swift response from the conservative media juggernaut, whose spokespeople were defending the material as recently as Tuesday morning.
“This program was produced in and has been available since 2022,” a Fox News Media spokesperson said in a statement. “We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and – out of an abundance of caution in the interim – have taken it down.”
The program, titled “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” was an offering on the Fox Nation digital streaming network. It was also promoted on Fox News, the cable TV channel.
Fox News earlier Tuesday hit back after Hunter Biden threatened a ‘revenge porn’ defamation suit.
Hunter Biden launched a war against Fox News with a defamation lawsuit.
“Hunter Biden’s legal team wrote that they anticipate “imminent” litigation against Fox News and requested that prominent Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters and Maria Bartiromo, preserve documentation.” Axios reported.
The lawsuit alleges “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
Hunter’s attorneys demanded Fox News remove the “intimate images of Mr. Biden depicting him in the nude as well as engaged in sex acts,” from all of their platforms claiming the images were “hacked, stolen, and/or manipulated digital material.”
The images from Hunter’s laptop from hell were not hacked or stolen. He abandoned his laptop at a Delaware computer repair shop.
Fox News called its reporting on Hunter Biden and the salacious contents from his laptop from hell “Constitutionally protected coverage.”
Per CNN: In response to the lawsuit threats, a Fox News Media spokesperson defended the network’s “constitutionally protected coverage” of Hunter Biden, a “public figure who has been the subject of investigations by both the Department of Justice and Congress.”
“Consistent with the First Amendment, Fox News has accurately covered these highly publicized events as well as the subsequent indictment of an FBI informant who was the source of certain claims made about Mr. Biden,” the spokesperson said in the statement, CNN reported.
There’s more!
Hunter Biden’s lawyers attacked Fox News for reporting on the Joe Biden-Burisma-Ukraine-bribery allegations.
Joe Biden’s DOJ indicted FBI informant Alexander Smirnov on charges he made false statements to the feds.
Hunter’s lawyers are now claiming Fox News should retract its reporting on the indicted FBI informant’s claims Joe Biden bribed Burisma’s owner and Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlovchesky.

Radical far-left New York Judge Juan Merchan on Tuesday fined President Trump $9,000 for speaking out in his own defense and violating his gag order in the ongoing lawfare trial in New York City.
Merchan also threatened President Trump with jail if he continued to publicly defend himself in the case.
The judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation ceremony on May 17 in Palm Beach, Florida.
“The judge presiding over the NY v. Trump trial in Manhattan granted former President Trump permission on Tuesday to attend his son’s high school graduation in Florida next month.” Fox News reported. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” Judge Juan Merchan told the court Tuesday morning of Barron Trump’s graduation date.
After refusing to recuse himself, Judge Juan Merchan earlier this month threatened to put President Trump in jail if he didn’t show up for trial.
Earlier this month President Trump asked the judge if he could skip the trial to attend his son Barron’s graduation.
Judge Merchan said that the decision “really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”
After major backlash the judge gave Trump ‘permission’ to attend his own son’s high school graduation.

Joe Biden on Tuesday departed the White House en route to Delaware for a closed-door campaign event.
This is after Biden hid from the public all day Sunday and Monday.
A giant entourage of aides and staffers surrounded Joe Biden as he shuffled across the South Lawn amid reports he can no longer walk solo.
The White House introduced a ‘special routine’ for when Joe Biden departs and returns to the White House on Marine One.
According to a report from Axios, Biden’s advisors are concerned that his stiffened gait is highlighting his old age and feeble state.
Biden’s aides rushed to hide his stiffened gait as he shuffled across the South Lawn. They also acted as human shields to prevent Biden from answering any questions from the press.

The Biden Regime is considering ‘welcoming’ so-called ‘refugees’ from Gaza into the United States.
According to internal federal documents obtained by CBS News, the Biden Regime is considering resettling Palestinians who have family members in the US.
Egypt doesn’t even want to take in refugees from Gaza!
The US will work with Egypt to resettle Palestinian refugees who have escaped there.
CBS News reported:
The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees, a move that would offer a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza, according to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS News.
In recent weeks, the documents show, senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.
One of those proposals involves using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt, according to the inter-agency planning documents.
Top U.S. officials have also discussed getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, the documents show. The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.
This is as Hamas supporters are violently taking over universities and demanding colleges stop doing business with companies with ties to Israel.
As TGP contributor Ben Wetmore reported last week, part of the $9 billion in relief being sent to the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, claims a former Congressman who sat for years on the Foreign Affairs Committee, is secret funding for massive Palestinian resettlement in America and Canada.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) last week said that the billions being sent to Gaza are suspicious in that the funds seem disconnected from the reality of a true humanitarian mission. The funds are legally worded in such a way as to give the Biden Regime the ability to do whatever it wants with the money.
I’m pouring through the pages of the three supplemental funding bills. Don’t buy what they are selling. Came across this on page 11:
‘‘International Disaster Assistance’’, $5,655,000,000, to remain available until expended, to address humanitarian needs, and
‘‘Migration and… pic.twitter.com/lhkoXVuZWp— Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS (@RepGosar) April 18, 2024
As TGP’s Ben Wetmore noted, Congressman Steve Stockman said the Biden Regime and Deep State are planning a massive resettlement of Palestinians to the West.
“The $9 billion in relief aid wasn’t meant to actually help the Palestinians who need it,” Stockman said. “They structured it as ‘humanitarian aid’ because legally, that definition is so broad that they can repurpose the aid however they want. It’s a classic Congressional con game with this funding. It’s part of the billions and trillions spent every year by the deep state to accomplish its goals, and most of it is right out in the open.”
“They are going to use this money to resettle Palestinians in America, using this pier, the same way the militant left used Muslim refugees from Syria to colonize Europe.”

Last month the Third US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mail-in ballots with no dates cannot be counted by Pennsylvania election officials.
Democrats use this tactic frequently to add more ballots to their candidate’s totals following election day.
“Mailed ballots that arrive on time but in envelopes without dates handwritten by Pennsylvania voters or with incorrect dates should not be counted, a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. Their 2-1 decision strikes down a lower court ruling.” NPR reported last month.
“The main legal issue surrounding what are often called “undated ballots” is whether not tallying them violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says a person’s right to vote cannot be denied for “an error or omission” that is “not material” in determining voting eligibility.” NPR reported.
Democrat lawyers requested an en banc review (a decision from the court’s entire slate of judges) and the appeals court ruled against them.
In a 9-4 vote, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday denied a request for en banc review to reconsider whether the date requirement for mail-in ballots is enforceable in Pennsylvania.
Tuesday’s decision will likely send the fight to the US Supreme Court.

The Democrats used mail-in ballots to steal Pennsylvania for Joe Biden in 2020.
Recall that in 2020 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in/ballots with no dates or handwritten names/addresses on the outer envelopes can be counted.
In 2020 Trump’s legal team argued that the General Assembly set forth in the Election Code the requirements for how a qualified elector can cast a mail-in or absentee ballot.
A voter is required to “fill out, date, and sign” the declaration on the outside envelope the Trump campaign argued (citing 25 P.S. §§ 3146.6(a) and 3150.16(a)).
The Trump campaign argued that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the requirements of the sections of Election Code impose mandatory obligations that the ballots cast falling short of these requirements cannot be counted.
The Philadelphia Board actually argued that the Election Code set forth by the General Assembly does not require them to set aside “timely-filed ballots” for “merely missing handwritten names, street addresses, and/or dates on the signed voter declaration.”
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court shot down the Trump campaign’s argument and said voters failing to fill out their name/address and date on the envelope is just a “technical violation” of the Election Code and does not “warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvania voters.”
In October 2020, the US Supreme Court declined to block a Pennsylvania state court ruling that allowed mail-in ballots to be counted even if they arrive days after Election Day.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Tuesday launched an investigation into the Biden DOJ’s coordination with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politicized prosecution of President Trump.
Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
Mike Davis, a former law clerk for Justice Gorsuch, said the Biden Justice Department is engaging in a criminal conspiracy to violate Trump’s civil rights.
“The lawfare happening to President Trump across the country is coordinated by President Biden, who sent Matthew Colangelo to New York to be his henchman and ensure Trump would not receive a fair trial,” Mike Davis said.

Recall that Colangelo lied during his opening statement last week and claimed Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election” when he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
Trump has denied the affair.
“The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a former top Biden DOJ appointee – told jurors last week, according to AP.
Chairman 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.”
“Mr. Colangelo’s recent employment history demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather than prosecuting a crime. At the New York Attorney General’s Office, Mr. Colangelo ran investigations into President Trump, leading ‘a wave of state litigation against Trump administration policies.’ On January 20, 2021, the first day of the Biden Administration, Mr. Colangelo began serving as the Acting Associate Attorney General—the number three official in your department. Upon the confirmation of Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, Mr. Colangelo then served as the Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General. In December 2022, Bragg ‘beefed up [his] office’ by hiring Mr. Colangelo to fill the void left by the departure of politicized line prosecutors Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne. Bragg hired Mr. Colangelo to ‘jump-start’ his office’s investigation of President Trump, reportedly due to Mr. Colangelo’s ‘history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business.’ Mr. Colangelo is now a lead prosecutor in President Trump’s trial.
Jim Jordan requested documents and communications to be provided to his Committee by May 14:
1. All documents and communications for the period of January 2021 to December 2022 between or among Mr. Colangelo and any employee, agent, or representative of the New York County District Attorney’s Office, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, the New York Attorney General’s Office, or the Department of Justice’s Special Counsel’s Office, referring or relating to:
a. President Donald J. Trump;
b. The Trump Organization; or
c. Any other entity owned, controlled by, or associated with President Donald J. Trump;
2. All personnel files related to Mr. Colangelo’s hiring, employment, and termination at
the Department of Justice, including all documents and communications with the
Office of Presidential Personnel about Mr. Colangelo’s hiring;
3. All documents and communications between or among the Justice Department and the New York County District Attorney’s Office referring or relating to the prosecution of President Donald J. Trump;
4. All documents and communications referring or relating to Michael Cohen’s conviction in United States v. Cohen, No. 18-cr-602 (S.D.N.Y. 2018), including any decisional or pre-decisional memoranda relating to the case; and
5. All documents and communications referring or relating to Michael Cohen’s conviction in United States v. Cohen, No. 18-cr-850 (S.D.N.Y. 2018).

Barack Obama trashed President Trump during an appearance on the “Smartless” podcast with Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
“I have been surprised that there haven’t been guardrails inside the Republican Party. Trump didn’t surprise me,” Barack Obama told host Jason Bateman.
“I mean, he comes from New York. There’s nobody in New York who does business with him or lend him money. He’s not considered a serious guy here,” Obama, the former community organizer who has created nothing in his life added.
Obama said he was surprised Trump was elected.
“But, so I was surprised he was elected, but I wasn’t surprised in terms of his behavior. I did expect, and I suspect Bill and Joe, you’d agree with this, that there would be some folks in the Republican Party who would say, no, you can’t go that far. You can’t start praising Putin and saying that his intelligence is better than the US intelligence agencies,” he said.
In 2020 Trump absolutely crushed Obama’s numbers with the most votes of any incumbent in US history. Trump received about 74 million votes in the 2020 presidential election. Obama received about 66 million votes in 2012 (and that’s with fraudulent ballots) so he can take a seat.
Obama trashed Trump and millions of his supporters (more than half the country).

The Biden Regime on Tuesday finalized its ‘energy efficiency’ regulations on water heaters.
“The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today finalized Congressionally-mandated energy-efficiency standards for a range of residential water heaters to save American households approximately $7.6 billion per year on their energy and water bills, while significantly cutting energy waste and harmful carbon pollution,” the DOE said on Tuesday.
“The final standards for residential water heaters align with recommendations from various stakeholders, including efficiency and environmental advocates, the Consumer Federation of America, and a leading U.S. water heater manufacturer. The standards would require the most common-sized electric water heaters to achieve efficiency gains with heat pump technology, helping to accelerate the deployment of this cost-effective, clean energy technology while also reducing strain on the electric grid. Over 30 years of shipments, these updated standards are expected to save Americans $124 billion on their energy bills and reduce 332 million metric tons of dangerous carbon dioxide emissions—equivalent to the combined annual emissions of nearly 43 million homes,” the DOE said.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the Biden Regime is putting American consumers first by forcing them to purchase new, Regime-approved water heaters.
“Almost every U.S. household has a water heater, and for too long outdated energy efficiency standards have led to higher utility bills for families,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “The Biden-Harris Administration is continuing to put American consumers first with new, effective rules—supported by industry—that save both energy and money.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre previously confirmed the Biden Regime is seeking to restrict water heaters and other appliances by 2029.
The Biden Regime is cracking down on gas stoves, water heaters and other popular appliances all in the name of ‘battling climate change.’
At first, the Biden Regime pushed back on reports they were targeting gas stoves, dishwashers, and heaters.
Karine Jean-Pierre admitted the Regime is going full steam ahead to restrict water heaters and other appliances by 2029.
A reporter asked KJP how many more home appliances will Americans have to replace because of regulations.
“So from this administration, we’ve seen them go after gas stoves, air conditioning units and regulate refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, now water heaters. How many more home appliances will Americans eventually have to replace them because of regulations?” a reporter asked KJP.
Karine Jean-Pierre admitted the Biden Regime is seeking to enact the proposed regulations on every single appliance.
“It is proposed – what has been put forward and if it is enacted, it would not take it into effect until 2029,” she said.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday was asked about the risk to the US milk and meat supply from the bird flu outbreak.

According to a new report by The New York Post’s Steve Nelson, Biden’s surrogates tried to oust White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre last October but failed.
Recall that on the first day of her job as WH Press Secretary in May 2022, Karine Jean-Pierre wanted the reporters in the briefing room to know how special she was because she is a black lesbian.
“I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a black, gay, immigrant woman—the first of all three of those to hold this position, I would not be here today if not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me. I stand on their shoulders.” the 49-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants said.

The Biden White House can’t fire Karine Jean-Pierre because she’s a black lesbian and that would be bad optics.

In fact, Judge Howell previously ordered Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify before a grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
Judge Howell flipped Trump’s own lawyer Eric Corcoran into a witness when she obliterated Trump’s attorney-client privilege in a ruling.

James O’Keefe last Friday warned he was about to release the most important story of his entire career.
“I have evidence that exposes the CIA, and it’s on camera. I am working on releasing a story that I believe is the most important of my entire career,” O’Keefe said on Friday.
“Do you think it’s a coincidence that right at this moment I am subject to an endless series of attacks?” he said. “This is obviously a sophisticated information operation designed to stop me from releasing this story. I’m sure you recognize they are masters of using half-truths and innuendos to raise doubt against people who don’t deserve it. It’s meant to consume my time and energy and make me back down.”
“But I’m not going to let it work. Rest assured, nothing will stop me from releasing this story,” O’Keefe said.
O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released part one: Exposing the CIA: A project manager working in cyber operations told OMG’s undercover journalist that the Director of the CIA would keep information from Trump.
He also said the CIA spied on Trump’s presidency and is still monitoring him to this day.
“So the agencies kind of, like, all got together and said, we’re not gonna tell Trump…Director of the CIA would keep [information from Trump]…” Amjad Fseisi, a project manager working in Cyber Operations for the CIA with top-secret security clearance told an undercover journalist.
Amjad Fseisi said Trump is a “Russian asset” – “He’s owned by the f*cking Russians,” he told the undercover journalist.
Per James O’Keefe:
Amjad reveals to OMG’s Undercover American Swiper that intel agencies not only kept intelligence information from a sitting United States President and Commander-In-Chief, they also used FISA to spy on President Trump and his team and are still monitoring President Trump according to Amjad who says, “We monitor everything.” Amjad adds “we also have people that monitor his ex-wife. He likes to use burner phones” – information only an insider with access to highly sensitive information would state.
“We steal it [information]” and “We hack other countries just like that,” Amjad, who states he currently works on the CIA’s China Mission Center, explains how intel agencies obtain information. He also describes a broken intelligence system where “We don’t share information across agencies” because the CIA is “very reluctant” to share information with the “careless” NSA.
O’Keefe Media Group’s bombshell undercover footage supports earlier reports by investigative journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag that revealed how the American intelligence community illegally ran a spy operation against then-candidate Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and illegally acquired intelligence that was later used to justify the Federal Bureau of Investigation (@FBI) official probe, “Crossfire Hurricane,” which in turn led to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that ultimately did not find evidence of Russia collusion by the 2016 Trump campaign.
Contractors like Fseisi hold the duty to withhold sharing confidential or national security information. In denying his statements, Fseisi may have realized he could be held liable for violating internal agency provisions and federal laws like the Executive Agency ethics provisions, which restrict what he may share with others outside of his contracted-to agency. Additionally, any government worker or agency head who withheld information from a superior (i.e. President Trump) may violate: (a) obstruction of justice by deception (18 USC 1512); (b) conspiracy to obstruct (18 USC 371); and false statements (18 USC 1001). Agency regulations may also provide offenses related to insubordination, reflecting poorly on the agency in public, or misrepresentation or dishonesty.
When James O’Keefe caught up with Amjad Fseisi on the streets of Washington, D.C., Fseisi could not tell O’Keefe whether he had top secret clearance, denied making statements clearly caught on camera, and would not even confirm it was him on the video saying only “It looks like me.” When asked directly if he works at the CIA, Fseisi said, “I can’t tell you that.”

A CIA spokesperson released a statement:
“These claims about CIA are absolutely false and ridiculous. CIA is a resolutely apolitical institution that provides intelligence support to policymakers including the President of the United States, irrespective of who occupies the office. We are a foreign intelligence focused Agency and do not monitor the former President. The individual making these allegations is a former contractor who does not represent CIA.”

Upon any termination, credentials are returned to the home agency and destroyed immediately.”

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.1 has struck near Corona in Riverside County, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The USGS says the quake struck at 1:49 p.m. just 5.6 miles southwest of Corona. It was originally reported as a 4.5 magnitude and ultimately to a 4.1.
There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries.
Southern California has been hit with several earthquakes this year prompting many to question whether they are foreshocks to a larger temblor.
A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck off the coast of Malibu in February on the same day Hawaii was hit with a 5.7 magnitude quake.
“The quake, which struck at 1:47 p.m., was centered roughly 6 miles west of Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains at a depth of five and a half miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.” KTLA reported.
No reports of damage or injury.
Southern California was hit with three temblors in January.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster on Wednesday announced he launched an investigation after a non-citizen ‘refugee’ received a voter registration form.
The government is giving voter registration forms to non-citizen ‘refugees.’
According to South Carolina state representative and congressional candidate Adam Morgan, the state government is including voter registration forms in packets at the Social Security Office in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
“Is the Federal Gov giving voter registration forms to non-citizens?” Adam Morgan said on X earlier this week (this was later corrected to the state of South Carolina).
“Yes, at least in SC. A refugee sent us this form that was given to her in a packet at the Social Security Office in Spartanburg. She asked “Why are they giving these to non-citizens?”” he said.
Attached to Adam Morgan’s post was a photo of the voter registration form included in the welcome packet for refugees.

It gets worse.
According to Rep. Adam Morgan, the refugee’s relative “mailed the forms back and criticized the office for distributing them to people they knew were non-citizens.”
“A few weeks later the refugees received more voter registration forms in the mail,” Rep. Morgan said.
“None of this is by accident,” he said.

Arizona rancher George Kelly, 75, sat down for an exclusive interview with NewsNation’s Ali Bradley after state prosecutors decided not to retry his murder case.
George Kelly told Ali Bradley he and his wife lost their life savings fighting the lawfare murder trial.
“I don’t feel that I was treated fairly in the investigation,” George Kelly told NewsNation in an interview. “I think I was arrested without cause, without probable cause.”
“You can’t put somebody in a situation and try to tell them, ‘oh you’ll be fine here.’ No you won’t be fine here…” George Kelly told Ali Bradley.
He said he slept on the floor in jail before being taken to a cell block where he spent 22 days. Other inmates would threaten Kelly and say “dead man walking” as they walked by him.
Kelly said he and his wife plan to move from their ranch in Kino Springs.
The full NewsNation interview with George Kelly will air next Wednesday night.

State prosecutors on Monday said they will not retry Arizona rancher George Kelly after a judge declared a mistrial following a hung jury.
Judge Thomas Fink last Monday declared a mistrial after an Arizona jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the murder trial for Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly.
Jurors deliberated a couple of weeks ago and were unable to reach a verdict. Deliberations continued pn the following Friday and after more than 7 hours the jury sent a note to the judge and informed him they could not reach a verdict.
Kelly was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.
According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.
According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.
The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.
The bullet that killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea was never recovered so authorities were never able to conduct a ballistics test to see if it matched George Kelly’s AK-47.
Kelly’s defense attorneys argued cartel bandits shot and killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea and robbed him.

Joe Biden on Thursday morning delivered unscheduled remarks on the Hamas-supporting violent protestors on college campuses ahead of his trip to North Carolina.
After several days of silence on the terrorism at college campuses, Biden shuffled over to a lectern and slurred and coughed through a 3-minute speech.
Biden said he will “always defend free speech” in America – unless of course, you’re a conservative, pro-life Trump supporter.
One reporter was able to sneak in a question after Biden struggled to read his giant teleprompter.
“Have the protests forced you to reconsider any of the policies?” a reporter asked Biden.
“No,” Biden said.
“Do you think the National Guard should intervene?” the reporter asked Biden.
“No,” Biden said as he shuffled away.

81-year-old Joe Biden boarded Marine One en route to Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday.
Part of Biden’s new routine is to shuffle out to Marine One while his handlers surround him to hide his feeble state amid reports he can no longer walk solo.
The White House introduced a ‘special routine’ for when Joe Biden departs and returns to the White House on Marine One.
According to a report from Axios, Biden’s advisors are concerned that his stiffened gait is highlighting his old age and feeble state.
Only today was different.
Biden’s staff actually blocked the media from posting up on the South Lawn until the feeble 81-year-old was already on Marine One.
Nobody saw Joe Biden leave the White House or shuffle across the South Lawn.
Reporters were unable to ask Joe Biden any questions.

The Daily Wire secretly obtained a gag order against Candace Owens amid her public feud with Ben Shapiro, according to documents obtained by Glenn Greenwald.
Earlier this month Candace Owens challenged Daily Wire’s co-founder Ben Shapiro to a debate about Israel just two weeks after she parted ways from the news outlet.
I would like to debate Ben Shapiro on Israel and the *current* definition of antisemitism.
Can somebody make that happen? https://t.co/237rKKIkoD

Ben Shapiro responded to Candace Owens: “Sure, Candace. I texted you on February 29th offering this very thing. Let’s do it on my show this Monday at 5pm at our studios in Nashville; 90 minutes, live-streamed.”

Candace Owens was reportedly out of the country on that Monday that Ben Shapiro agreed to debate her.
The debate never happened and it isn’t because Candace didn’t show up…she was gagged, according to Glenn Greenwald.
“But the debate was never going to happen. That is because the Daily Wire — in secret and unbeknownst to its readers — sought a gag order to be placed on Owens after she had called for a debate. They did this under the cover of secrecy, before a private arbitrator, at exactly the same time that they were claiming in public that they wanted this debate and were even negotiating the terms with her,” Glenn Greenwald wrote.
“When seeking a gag order to be imposed on Owens, the Daily Wire accused her of violating the non-disparagement clause of her agreement with the company. To substantiate this accusation, the company specifically cited Owens’ initial tweet requesting a debate with Shapiro as proof of this disparagement, along with concerns she voiced that Shapiro appeared to be violating the confidentiality agreement between them by publicly maligning Owens’s views to explain her departure from the company. While the company claimed before the arbitrator that it did not object in principle to a “healthy debate,” it urged the imposition of gag order on Owens by claiming that the way she requested the debate constituted disparagement of Shapiro and the site,” Glenn Greenwald.
“To justify the gag order it wanted, the company also cited various criticisms of the Daily Wire and Shapiro on X that Owens had “liked.” This proceeding took place as part of an exchange of legal threats between the parties after the public agreement to debate about Israel was solidified,” Greenwald wrote.
The Daily Wire’s Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing told Glenn Greenwald his report “is inaccurate to the point of being false.”
Candace Owens told Greenwald she couldn’t comment on his report: “I wish I could comment on this but I can’t.”
Glenn Greenwald called for the Daily Wire to publish the documents they filed to get the gag order.
If the DW is spreading this, they should publish the documents, including the ones they filed to get the gag order.

Stormy Daniels’ attorney Keith Davidson took the witness stand on Thursday and denied the $130,000 payment from Michael Cohen to his client was a ‘hush payment.’
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 payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Davidson testified on Thursday that the payment to Stormy was not ‘hush money,’ rather it was a “consideration” payment – this is a contractual legal term.
Fox News reported:
The criminal trial of former President Donald Trump resumed following a break for lunch Thursday afternoon.
Keith Davidson, lawyer for adult film actress Stormy Daniels, took the witness stand again for cross-examination by Trump defense attorney Emil Bove.
Trump walked back into the courtroom Thursday afternoon, giving reporters a thumbs up as he walked by, but no remarks.
Davidson earlier Thursday said that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was not “hush money,” but a “consideration” payment.
“Consideration” is a contractual legal term for what someone gives in return for the promise to abide by a contract; in this case, money. The payment was labeled “legal fees” in Trump’s accounting, which prosecutors allege amounted to fraud.
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass earlier pressed Davidson about Daniels’ statement, which Davidson prepared for his client, that denied any relationship with Trump and said that her only interaction with Trump was “a few public appearances and nothing more.”

Joe Biden on Thursday traveled to Wilmington, North Carolina to deliver remarks on his ‘Investing in America’ agenda.
Biden’s economy is a total dumpster fire. Americans are suffering because of persistent inflation, chronic unemployment/underemployment, soaring gas prices and high mortgage rates.
As usual, Biden’s speech was a total disaster. He slurred through his short remarks, lied about the economy and read the teleprompter instructions out loud.
“We cut the federal deficit!” Biden said as he falsely claimed his economic plan “is beginning to work.”
“We’ve created a record 15 million jobs,” Biden said.
This is a lie. The vast majority of the jobs were people going back to work after Democrats forcefully shut down businesses during the Covid pandemic. Furthermore, every job post-Covid has gone to foreign-born workers, including illegal aliens!

President Trump filed an unsealed motion to dismiss Jack Smith’s classified documents case for vindictive and selective prosecution.
The motion was originally filed under seal in February. Judge Cannon authorized Trump to file an unsealed version of the motion to dismiss Jack Smith’s case.
Trump’s legal team in February filed several motions to dismiss Jack Smith’s classified documents case.
Judge Cannon previously denied Trump’s motion to dismiss the classified docs case on ‘unconstitutional vagueness’ of the Espionage Act, however, a third motion based on selective prosecution is still pending.
In his unsealed motion to dismiss, Trump highlighted how others such as James Comey, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Bill and Hillary Clinton all illegally possessed classified documents yet they were never prosecuted.
Trump’s lawyers argued that Joe Biden stored boxes of classified documents in his garage, Penn Biden Center and Chinatown…all locations remained accessible to people without security clearances. Biden was never charged for stealing SCIF-designated documents and storing them in dilapidated boxes in his garage.
President Trump’s lawyers argued that former President Bill Clinton stored classified tapes in his sock drawer yet he was never prosecuted.
Mike Pence disclosed to NARA that “a small number of documents bearing classified markings” were stored at his home in Indiana, yet he was never prosecuted.
Trump also slammed Hillary Clinton.
“Hillary Clinton and her colleagues deleted 31,830 emails and destroyed data on numerous electronic devices, including after a congressional preservation order,” Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche wrote referring to Hillary’s criminal email deletion and use of BleachBit to destroy emails under subpoena. Hillary also took a hammer to her BlackBerrys.
“None of these individuals faced a charge under the Espionage Act or was prosecuted for obstruction,” Blanche wrote in the 178-page motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution.
NEW: Per Judge Cannon's authorization, Trump just filed unsealed version of motion to dismiss on selective/vindictive prosecution.

Joe Biden Thursday evening crashed Dr. Jill’s White House dinner party honoring teachers.
“Tonight we celebrate you because teaching isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. And all of you were called to this profession for a reason,” Dr. Jill said. “You believe that a better world is possible and you make that world real.”
After returning from North Carolina, Biden shuffled into the East Room of the White House in a surprise appearance, took the microphone, and lied about being a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
“By the way, I actually taught for a number of years in law school and then I was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,” Biden said.

Biden was never a “professor” or teacher after serving as Vice President in 2017.
Biden was paid $1 million to do nothing, as the Daily Caller noted:
When the Daily Caller asked whether Biden had in fact taught any courses since being hired, UPenn Vice Provost for Faculty Anita Allen did not list any, saying his work was instead based in Washington.
Biden was paid to give a few speeches (typical career politician/DC grifter) but he never taught a class.

The video shows a group of illegals getting off a boat on shore this past Thursday. Approximately 25 people were on the boat which was abandoned afterwards.
Bill Melugin said in his report that these kinds of tactics are common in Europe but would not be common to a location like Malibu because of its distance to the southern border. It is unclear if any of the illegals were taken into custody.

The April jobs report was released Friday morning as Joe Biden slept and it was a huge miss.
Non-farm payrolls increased by 175,000 in April, well below the expected 240,000 estimate.
The unemployment rate moved higher in April to 3.9% (it’s actually higher than this) – this is the highest since November 2021.
Zero Hedge reported the truth about April’s abysmal jobs report:
Ahead of today’s payrolls report, in our preview we said that while we knew we would get a slowdown, the question was how big it would be (and before that we also asked if Yellen had leaked the weaker number to Japan ahead of their multiple interventions this week to prevent them from wasting tens of billions in intervention dry capital for nothing).
We got the answer moments ago when the BLS reported that in April the US added just 175K jobs, a nearly 50% drop from the upward revised 315K (was 303K), the lowest print since October 2023…
… and a two-sigma miss to estimates of 240K.
In fact, as shown below, this was the biggest miss since Dec 2021

Newly unsealed documents in Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump further prove Biden’s DOJ set up Trump.
The unsealed motion reveals Jack Smith’s top prosecutor, Jay Bratt, met with a top Biden aide in September 2021 – before any classified documents were discovered at Mar-a-Lago.
Bratt met with an aide to Biden’s White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain in September 2021.

Last week Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed records in Jack Smith’s classified docs case against Trump that revealed Biden’s White House and DOJ were coordinating with National Archives general counsel Gary Stern.
The day before Jack Smith indicted Trump in the classified documents case last June, NARA’s general counsel Gary Stern was at the Biden White House and met with Joe Biden’s White House lawyer Richard Sauber.
NARA’s general counsel Gary Stern was working with Biden’s White House and DOJ as early as August 2021 (one year before the Mar-a-Lago raid).
Furthermore, according to unsealed documents, an unidentified witness told DOJ prosecutor Michael Thakur that after the Trump Administration ended, the General Services Administration (GSA) stored six pallets of boxes in Virginia. They eventually contacted Trump’s team and told them to come pick up the boxes.
These were the boxes that ended up having documents with “classified markings” on them. The boxes were dumped outside of DC in Virginia and then ended up at Mar-a-Lago.
This was a total setup.
Trump went after Jack Smith in a Truth Social post on Saturday night after bombshell documents revealed the Biden DOJ coordinated with the National Archives (NARA).
“Wow! It looks like Deranged Jack Smith, a sick PSYCHO, got caught. BIG “STUFF!” See story in Rob Schmitt opening on NEWSMAX. AMAZING — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump continued his attack against Special Counsel Jack Smith on Tuesday morning in remarks outside the New York State courthouse.
“You probably saw last night that Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. It was released late last night and it’s a big story,” Trump said. “The documents case is a hoax, created by them for election interference purposes. That one looks like it’s going asunder.”
Trump continued, “The whole thing is a hoax. All of them are hoaxes, including the civil cases. They’re controlled by the White House, they’re controlled by Democrat judges and prosecutors… and the people are getting it.”

Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife Imedla Cuellar on Friday were indicted by on federal bribery and money laundering charges.
“An indictment was unsealed today in the Southern District of Texas charging U.S. Congressman Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar, 68, and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, 67, both of Laredo, Texas, with participating in two schemes involving bribery, unlawful foreign influence, and money laundering. Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar made their initial court appearance today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dena Palermo in Houston.” – the DOJ announced on Friday.
“According to court documents, beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City. The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts.” the DOJ said.
Cuellar and his wife are facing a maximum of 204 years in prison.
Per the DOJ: Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar are each charged with the following offenses and if convicted, face maximum penalties as indicated: two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal, five years in prison on each count; two counts of bribery of a federal official, 15 years in prison on each count; two counts of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, 20 years in prison on each count; two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal, two years in prison on each count; one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, 20 years in prison; and five counts of money laundering, 20 years in prison on each count.
Rep. Cuellar, a nine-term Texas Democrat lawmaker who represents an area along the US-Mexico border, previously lashed out at both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for allowing illegal aliens to pour over the border.
“I’ve moved on from the vice president to say, ‘OK, let’s work with the ambassadors and let’s work with the State Department. Let’s work with the Homeland Secretary,’” Cuellar said before the holidays in 2021.
“I think that’s the way to address it, but I know that the media has put a lot of focus on the vice president, but with all due respect, she was given that title. I don’t think she’s, with all due respect, put the effort in there…We’ve got to look at other folks that have the expertise on that,” he added.
Cuellar was raided by the FBI and subpoenaed in 2022 shortly after he blasted Biden Regime.

Kelly said he and his wife plan to move from their ranch in Kino Springs.
He also maintains that he didn’t kill Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea on January 30th last year. Kelly says someone else is responsible.
WATCH:
State prosecutors on Monday said they will not retry Arizona rancher George Kelly after a judge declared a mistrial following a hung jury.
Judge Thomas Fink last Monday declared a mistrial after an Arizona jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the murder trial for Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly.
Jurors deliberated a couple of weeks ago and were unable to reach a verdict. Deliberations continued pn the following Friday and after more than 7 hours the jury sent a note to the judge and informed him they could not reach a verdict.
Kelly was arrested for killing Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on his Arizona ranch in Kino Springs just outside of Nogales, Mexico on January 30, 2023.
According to reports, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea has a history of illegally crossing into the United States and multiple deportations.
According to the defense lawyers, Mr. Kelly fired warning shots after he saw a group of men dressed in camouflaged clothing point an AK-47 right at him.
The rancher later discovered the deceased illegal alien, who is likely a cartel smuggler, when he went to go check on his horse.
The bullet that killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea was never recovered so authorities were never able to conduct a ballistics test to see if it matched George Kelly’s AK-47.
Kelly’s defense attorneys argued cartel bandits shot and killed Gabriel Cuen-Butimea and robbed him.

Joe Biden on Friday awarded 19 Americans with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
“The diverse group of recipients ranged from political trailblazers like Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Jim Clyburn to activists like Opal Lee and Judy Shephard as well as Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky and Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh.” ABC News reported.
“Today we have another extraordinary honor to bestow the nation’s highest civilian artist of mine to 19 incredible people whose relentless curiosity, inventiveness, ingenuity and hope have kept faith in a better tomorrow,” Biden said heavily slurring through his remarks.
Biden gave Nancy Pelosi a Medal of Freedom for her actions on January 6, 2021.
“She used her superpower to pass some of the most significant laws in our nation’s history,” Biden said. “On January 6, Nancy stood in the breach defending democracy … Nancy is a brilliant, practical, principled and determined leader.”
What a joke!
Back in December 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that House Republicans had collected emails and text messages implicating Pelosi in the failed January 6 Capitol security operation.
Recall, it was President Donald Trump who recommended 10,000 National Guard troops at the US Capitol on Jan. 6. Pelosi turned him down.
It was never Trump’s fault. It was always Pelosi’s fault.
She was too busy lining up the film crews who were going to come to film her that day. She had that set up beforehand as if she knew something big was going to be taking place.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta’s motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.
Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.
In a May 1 filing, Walt Nauta’s attorney claimed he had difficulty in cross-referencing materials in classified and unclassified discovery because “certain items in the seized boxes he reviewed were in a different order from where they appear in the scans of the boxes’ contents produced in discovery.”
Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.
According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the ‘classified’ documents they seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!
Footnote 3: The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court. See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65 (Government responding to the Court’s question of whether the boxes were “in their original, intact form as seized” by stating “[t]hey are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documents have been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents”
The DOJ in August 2022 lied to the Court when they claimed the red, blue and yellow sheets shown in the viral photo of the classified documents indicated their classification status.
It turns out they were “slip sheets” the FBI used to replace the so-called classified documents.
The FBI admitted they messed with Trump’s documents! The FBI used cover sheets as placeholders for the classified documents.
“After the boxes were brought to WFO, the FBI created an index to correlate the documents with classification markings to codes (e.g., document “bb”) and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents. The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added. In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet.”
Jack Smith also claimed the FBI found so many classified documents that they ran out of ‘slip sheets.’
“The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose, until the FBI ran out because there were so many classified documents, at which point the team began using blank sheets with handwritten notes indicating the classification level of the document(s) seized,” Jack Smith laughably claimed.
“Yet more reason to throw out this sham prosecution,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in response to Jack Smith’s filing.

A San Diego jury on Friday convicted two Antifa militants of felony conspiracy to riot in connection with a brutal attack on Trump supporters in 2021.
In 2022 a San Diego grand jury indicted 11 Antifa and BLM militants for attacking Trump supporters during a “Patriot March” demonstration in Pacific Beach in 2021.
In January 2021, a mob of Antifa terrorists assaulted a small group of Trump supporters in San Diego, California.
Antifa goons attacked the Trump supporters with pepper spray after a verbal confrontation escalated on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach.
WATCH:
According to the San Diego Tribune, there was a heavy police presence on the boardwalk and law enforcement declared the gathering “unlawful” by early afternoon on January 10, 2021.
Police arrested several violent protestors that day and a grand jury in San Diego indicted 11 defendants on Tuesday, according to the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office.
The indictment actually calls out Antifa by name and alleges all defendants “are all affiliated with Antifa” and used “force, fear, and violence to further their interests and suppress the interests of others.”
In 2022 the grand jury brought 29 felony counts, including conspiracy.
On Friday, a San Diego grand jury convicted Brian Cortez Lightfoot, 27, and Jeremy Jonathan White, 41, both of Los Angeles.
“We want to thank the jury for their service and for reaching their just guilty verdicts on the two remaining defendants in the Antifa conspiracy case. This was a complex case with 11 defendants indicted and now all convicted — nine by guilty pleas and two by jury verdict. The DA team worked tirelessly on this case in order to be sure our community remains safe, and that the rule of law is followed.” – San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said.
CBS 8 reported:
Two men were convicted Friday of conspiracy to commit a riot stemming from a 2021 Pacific Beach protest that turned violent, with prosecutors alleging the men joined other self-identified anti-fascists with plans to violently attack those on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
Brian Cortez Lightfoot, 27, and Jeremy Jonathan White, 41, both from the Los Angeles area, were prosecuted along with nine others in connection with the Jan. 9, 2021, “Patriot March” that devolved into brawls and violence.
Lightfoot was additionally convicted by jurors of five counts of unlawful use of tear gas. The jury, which began their deliberations more than a week ago, also acquitted the men on one assault count each, but hung on numerous other counts of assault and unlawful use of tear gas.
Lightfoot and White are slated for sentencing late next month. Their nine co-defendants pleaded guilty to various charges prior to the trial and some have already been sentenced to prison.

President Trump this weekend called for Jack Smith to be arrested after the Special Counsel admitted in a court filing that he lied to the court about the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.

An American man and two Australian brothers were murdered during a surfing trip to Mexico. Three suspects were taken into custody this weekend.
According to police, Jack Rhoad, an American man from San Diego, and Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson were last seen in the Mexican state of Baja California on April 27.
The men were surfing about 70 miles south of the US border when they disappeared.
Jack Rhoad, 30
The three men were targeted by Mexican thieves for the tires on their truck, according to Mexican authorities. The white pickup truck was set on fire.
The bodies were dumped in a remote 50-foot-deep well. It took authorities 20 hours to extract the bodies from the bottom of the well.
Three suspects, one woman and two brothers, have been taken into custody in connection with the murders.
The woman was found with one of the Australian surfer’s cell phones.
suspect Ari Gisel García Cota, 23
suspects Jesús Gerardo Garcia Cota and Cristian Alejandro García
The Daily Mail reported:
Mexican authorities said thieves killed two Australians and an American on a surfing trip to Mexico in order to steal their truck, particularly because they wanted the tires.
Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and American Jack Carter Rhoad were last seen on April 27 in the Mexican province of Baja California.
Prosecutors released grisly details of the slayings, but have not yet officially confirmed the identification of the bodies. They said family members of the victims are viewing the bodies to see if they can be identified by sight.
The corpses were decomposing after the thieves dumped them into a remote, 50- foot deep well. If relatives can’t identify them, further tests will be conducted. The well also contained a fourth cadaver that had been there much longer.
The US State Department previously issued a series of travel advisories over cartel violence, kidnappings and grisly murders in Mexico.
The State Department urged US citizens to avoid the following six Mexican states due to high crime and violence: Colima, Guerrero, Michoacan, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas.
Several Americans have been murdered in Mexico over the last year.

ABC News president Kim Godwin announced Sunday evening that she is stepping down from her post and retiring from broadcast journalism.
Godwin stepped down after a corporate restructuring.
“I have decided to retire from broadcast journalism,” Godwin said in the email sent to staff Sunday night, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Anyone who’s passionate about what we do knows there’s no other business like it, so this was not an easy or quick decision. But after considerable reflection, I’m certain it’s the right one for me as I look to the future and prioritize what’s most important for me and my family.”
The Wall Street Journal reported:
ABC News President Kim Godwin stepped down Sunday night, months after a corporate restructuring that effectively stripped away much of her management autonomy.
No successor has been named for Godwin, who was named president of the division in 2021.
Godwin’s retirement comes after a restructuring in February that gave her a new boss in Debra OConnell, who serves as president of parent Disney’s news group. OConnell is a company veteran who is familiar with ABC News, having scrutinized operations across Disney’s networks as part of a corporate review.
When Godwin joined ABC News from CBS, she had her work cut out for her. Though the news division was a ratings leader, many in the news division said it was suffering from a cutthroat and toxic culture.

ABC 7 Chicago reported:
The Cinco de Mayo Parade on Chicago’s Southwest Side was rerouted on Sunday after reports of violence in the area.
The parade has a history of disruptions. From the COVID pandemic to a series of disagreements between organizers and city officials, it wasn’t even held from 2018 to 2022. The parade only made its return last year.
There is still a great deal of confusion surrounding what exactly happened to disrupt the parade.
At a glance, Sunday’s Cinco de Mayo parade was like any other. It was vibrant and colorful, with entertaining musical acts representing different parts of Mexico.
“We actually found it just walking to the National Mexican Art museum earlier,” parade attendee Jennifer Vasquez said. “We asked somebody earlier. We weren’t even aware it was happening.”
What many parade-goers failed to notice was the behind the scenes drama that began around a half hour before the parade was supposed to take off at Noon from Cemark Road from Damen Avenue in Heart of Chicago. It was supposed to traverse a 1.2 mile route, ending at Marshall Boulevard in Little Village, just south of Douglass Park. Instead, a large fight in the area of the parade led police to issue a cancelation notice.

Last year Leo Bozell, 44, was convicted of all 10 charges, including six felonies and four misdemeanors related to his role in the January 6 Capitol protest.
US District Judge John Bates, a George W. Bush appointee convicted Bozell without a jury.
Prosecutors allege Bozell “joined a mob” and broke through several police lines on January 6, 2021. He smashed open a Senate window before making his way to Pelosi’s office.
Bozell was reportedly in the US Capitol for an hour before leaving.
Leo Bozell’s attorneys deny he pushed through police lines and argued he was “lost and wandering” around before exiting the Capitol building.
“In fact, video evidence will show that Mr. Bozell assisted in some small way law enforcement officers that he thought could be helped by his assistance,” Bozell’s attorney William Shipley argued in a pre-trial court filing last year.
Matthew Graves added a ‘terror enhancement’ and sought 12 years prison time in his sentencing memo.
“A sentence of 140 months is fully justified by his actions,” the Biden Regime prosecutor wrote.
As calls grow for the resignation of DC US Attorney Matthew Graves for failing to keep DC residents safe, the Biden appointee wants son of Brent Bozell to spend 10+ years in prison related to Jan 6.

Matthew Colangelo
Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top DOJ official that Joe Biden sent to New York in 2022 to take down Trump – was paid by the DNC for ‘political consulting.’
Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
It has now been revealed that Colangelo was paid $12,000 by the DNC in 2018.
“According to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by Fox News Digital, DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee paid Colangelo twice on Jan. 31, 2018. Colangelo was given two payments of $6,000, for a total of $12,000.” Fox News reported.

Fox News reported:
The Democratic National Committee paid Trump prosecutor Matthew Colangelo thousands of dollars for “political consulting” in 2018, Fox News Digital has learned.
Colangelo delivered opening statements in the unprecedented criminal trial of former President Trump and currently serves as a top prosecutor with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Office on the case.
Colangelo joined Bragg’s office in December 2022 after the resignations of Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne — prosecutors who were investigating Trump and resigned in protest of Bragg’s initial unwillingness to indict the former president. Colangelo left a senior role at the Biden Justice Department to join Bragg’s team. Bragg afterward brought charges against the former president in April 2023, raising questions among some in the GOP about alleged politicization of the case.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) last Tuesday launched an investigation into the Biden DOJ’s coordination with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politicized prosecution of President Trump.
Mike Davis, a former law clerk for Justice Gorsuch, said the Biden Justice Department is engaging in a criminal conspiracy to violate Trump’s civil rights.
“The lawfare happening to President Trump across the country is coordinated by President Biden, who sent Matthew Colangelo to New York to be his henchman and ensure Trump would not receive a fair trial,” Mike Davis said.

Recall that Colangelo lied during his opening statement last month and claimed Trump “orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election” when he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
Trump has denied the affair.
“The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again,” prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a former top Biden DOJ appointee – told jurors last week, according to AP.
Chairman 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.”
“Mr. Colangelo’s recent employment history demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather than prosecuting a crime. At the New York Attorney General’s Office, Mr. Colangelo ran investigations into President Trump, leading ‘a wave of state litigation against Trump administration policies.’ On January 20, 2021, the first day of the Biden Administration, Mr. Colangelo began serving as the Acting Associate Attorney General—the number three official in your department. Upon the confirmation of Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, Mr. Colangelo then served as the Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General. In December 2022, Bragg ‘beefed up [his] office’ by hiring Mr. Colangelo to fill the void left by the departure of politicized line prosecutors Mark Pomerantz and Carey Dunne. Bragg hired Mr. Colangelo to ‘jump-start’ his office’s investigation of President Trump, reportedly due to Mr. Colangelo’s ‘history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business.’ Mr. Colangelo is now a lead prosecutor in President Trump’s trial,” Jim Jordan wrote.

A Pennsylvania pastor said God intervened when a gun jammed as a man tried to shoot him during Sunday’s sermon.
A 26-year-old man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and attempted homicide after he tried to shoot a North Braddock pastor on Sunday.
Pastor Glenn Germany of Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church said God intervened and jammed the gun.
“He pulled the gun; it clicked,” Pastor Glenn Germany told WPIX-TV. “You heard him shoot it. God jammed the gun so the bullet didn’t come out.”
Bernard Junior Polite
Pastor Germany said he forgave the gunman.
“He actually apologized to me,” the pastor WPXI. “I told him that ‘I forgive you and want you to know I love you,’ but yes, I definitely forgave him.”
“This guy was just dealing with spirits he said, and he came in and wanted to shoot somebody,” the pastor said.
WPXI reported:
A man is facing charges after Pennsylvania State Police say he tried to shoot a pastor who was giving a sermon at a church in North Braddock.
Video taken at the church shows Pastor Glenn Germany preaching at the Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church on Lobinger Avenue at 1:09 p.m. on Sunday.
A man then walks up and points a handgun directly at him. Police say the man tried to fire the gun but it did not go off.
“He pulled the gun; it clicked,” Germany said. “You heard him shoot it. God jammed the gun so the bullet didn’t come out.”
Pennsylvania State Police say the gunman was Bernard Junior Polite, 26, from Braddock.
Video shows the Bernard Polite pointing a gun at the pastor during Sunday’s sermon. The pastor quickly ducked for cover behind the pulpit as the man taping the service tackled the gunman.
Polite is being held without bail.

Republicans will hold US Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over the Justice Department’s refusal to hand over audio recordings of Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
“The House Judiciary Committee is aiming to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with the special counsel who investigated his handling of classified documents.” – the Washington Examiner reported.
“The Republican-led committee is planning to hold a meeting to review a contempt report and hold a committee vote on the matter on May 16, according to two sources familiar with the plans.” The Examiner reported.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer last month released a statement after the DOJ rebuffed his committee’s request for the audio recordings.
“The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch,” Comer said. “The American people deserve to hear the actual audio of President Biden’s answers to Special Counsel Hur.”
Comer said it is “curious” that the Biden Regime is refusing to release audio of Biden’s interview with Hur after releasing the transcript.
What we do know is that Joe Biden lied about Robert Hur raising the issue about his dead son Beau.
The Justice Department previously defended not bringing charges against Biden because he’s a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
According to the transcript, Joe Biden forgot when he was Vice President and couldn’t remember when his son Beau died.
Joe Biden attacked Robert Hur during an impromptu presser in February.
“There is even 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.”
What else is Biden lying about? How bad was his memory during the 2-day interview with Robert Hur?
Special Counsel Robert Hur testified before Congress in March on Biden’s interview on his stolen classified documents scandal that spanned two days.
Robert Hur in February released a 345-page report on his investigation of the stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur
Biden’s stolen classified documents were scattered all over the place in damaged cardboard boxes and unlocked drawers at the Penn Biden Center. The documents were also easily accessible in Biden’s Delaware garage and basement den.
Robert Hur found that Joe Biden “willfully retained” classified information, however, he decided not to charge him. Hur said there is evidence Biden retained classified notebooks, “knowing he was not allowed to do so.”
Biden was not charged even though he willfully retained SCIF-designated classified documents and shared material with his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer.
According to Robert Hur, In 2017, Joe Biden read aloud classified passages about meetings in the Situation Room to his ghostwriter “verbatim on at least three occasions” – and Biden still wasn’t charged.
“We also considered whether Mr. Biden willfully disclosed national defense information to his ghostwriter by reading aloud certain classified notebook passages to the ghostwriter nearly verbatim on at least three occasions,” the report read.
Biden wasn’t charged for reading classified information to his ghostwriter because jurors could conclude his actions were “unintentional.”

Joe and Jill Biden on Monday co-hosted a Cinco de Mayo reception in the Rose Garden at the White House.
Biden called illegal aliens “model citizens” in his brief remarks to the attendees.
“We are a nation of immigrants and we should never forget it,” Biden said. “We’re a nation of DREAMERs and Cinco de Mayo represents we’re a nation of freedom. That’s America. The America we share and fighting for together.”
Biden absurdly claimed he has always been “fundamentally focused on Latinos.”
Joe Biden then praised DACA illegal aliens as “model citizens.”
“Can you imagine a kid, two years old, saying, ‘Mom, don’t take me across the Rio Grande. It’s against the law.’ Give me a break,” Biden said. “These have been model citizens. Congress has to act.”
Have you ever heard Joe Biden praise taxpaying Americans as “model citizens”?

Joe Biden is considering granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who have lived in the US for over 10 years or have citizen relatives who would “suffer” if they were deported.
According to Politico, similar to Obama’s DACA program, Biden is deciding whether to give the massive group of illegals green cards.
The Democrats are losing the black and Latino voters so they are fiercely working to lock in a new voting bloc.
“Like the Obama administration did in 2012 with the launch of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Biden administration officials are also examining whether there’s an action they could take for a different group of undocumented people who have long resided in the United States, according to the three people familiar with the administration’s planning. One idea that has been floated among administration officials is opening access to the cancellation of removal program for people who have lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and have citizen or resident relatives who would “suffer” if they were deported. If specific requirements are met and an immigration judge approves cancellation of removal, a migrant is able to obtain a green card.” – Politico reported.
The Biden Regime is also looking to fund the influx of illegals who have invaded the US over the last 3 years.
“Administration officials are also discussing ways they can further support state and local officials managing the influx of new arrivals, as Republican governors are expected to continue busing migrants to Democratic-led cities this year.” Politico reported.
Approximately 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – have invaded the US under Joe Biden’s watch.

Professor Dershowitz Joins Rose to discuss his new book: “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law”
Dershowitz weighed in on the pro-Hamas, violent protests erupting at campuses across the country.
Alan Dershowitz also thanked Evangelical Christians for their support of both the Jewish people and Israel.
AUDIO:
In Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law, Alan Dershowitz—#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of America’s most respected legal scholars—analyses the unremitting efforts by political opponents of Donald Trump to “get” him—to stop him from running in 2024—at any cost.
Alan Dershowitz has been called “one of the most prominent and consistent defenders of civil liberties in America” by Politico and “the nation’s most peripatetic civil liberties lawyer and one of its most distinguished defenders of individual rights” by Newsweek.
Get Trump makes clear that unconstitutional efforts to stop Trump from retaking the presidency challenge the very foundations of our liberty: due process, right to counsel, and free speech. Those who justify these dangerous departures from the rule of law argue that the threat posed by a second Trump presidency is “different” and “immediate,” while the departures from constitutional norms are longer term and more abstract.

Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday night postponed a key deadline in the classified documents case after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to tampering with evidence.
Cannon temporarily stayed a May 9 deadline for President Trump and his co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira related to CIPA.

President Trump’s attorneys wrote a letter to Jack Smith about his confession that classified documents are not in its original form.
“Your failure to disclose the spoliation of this evidence until this month is an extraordinary breach of your constitutional and ethical obligations. Since the beginning of this case, our strategy, preparations, and arguments have been based on the basic premise that — biased as Jack Smith is in his futile efforts to help President Biden make up lost ground in the polls — the line prosecutors and agents would employ the minimal levels of professionalism and competence necessary to preserve evidence relating to the documents at the center of the charges,” Trump’s lawyer wrote to the special counsel’s team.
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta’s motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.
Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.
In a May 1 filing, Walt Nauta’s attorney claimed he had difficulty in cross-referencing materials in classified and unclassified discovery because “certain items in the seized boxes he reviewed were in a different order from where they appear in the scans of the boxes’ contents produced in discovery.”
Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.
According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the ‘classified’ documents they seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!
Footnote 3: The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court. See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65 (Government responding to the Court’s question of whether the boxes were “in their original, intact form as seized” by stating “[t]hey are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documents have been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents”
The DOJ in August 2022 lied to the Court when they claimed the red, blue and yellow sheets shown in the viral photo of the classified documents indicated their classification status.
It turns out they were “slip sheets” the FBI used to replace the so-called classified documents.
The FBI admitted they messed with Trump’s documents! The FBI used cover sheets as placeholders for the classified documents.
“After the boxes were brought to WFO, the FBI created an index to correlate the documents with classification markings to codes (e.g., document “bb”) and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents. The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added. In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet.”

They want Trump dead.
Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki fantasized about Trump dying before the 2024 election on a Tuesday morning appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Joe Biden and the Democrat-media complex are terrified of Trump. They know Trump is ahead in the polls. They know Joe Biden is unpopular.
This is why Biden’s DOJ is trying to jail Trump. Biden can’t win unless he cheats – or jails his main political rival.
Psaki fantasized about all the ways Trump can be eliminated this election season.
“Maybe Donald Trump will go away. Maybe he’ll go to jail. Maybe he will die. Not to be too morbid. But maybe. He’s not a young man,” Psaki said.

Business Insider recently fantasized about Trump’s death and published a piece titled: “Here’s what happens if Donald Trump dies while running in the 2024 presidential election”
“If Trump dies while seeking reelection, a few different things could happen, depending on when he dies and how close it is to Election Day.” – Business Insider writer Sonam Sheth wrote in an article published on Saturday.
Business Insider said states would need to adjust their filing deadlines if Trump were to die within the next few weeks (before January 1, 2024).
“If Trump died during primary season — which ends in mid-June — some states may postpone their scheduled primaries.” Business Insider wrote.
However, if Trump died during the primary season and before June “some states may postpone their scheduled primaries.”
The left always fantasizes about a Trump assassination. This is nothing new.

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 payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Stormy testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.
She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.
CNN criticized Stormy Daniels for using humor to try to get a reaction from the jury.

Trump walked out of the court and spoke to the media. He used a clever trick to avoid violating Judge Merchan’s illegal gag order.
Crooked Judge Merchan on Monday held Trump in contempt, fined him thousands of dollars, and threatened to jail him if he continued to defend himself.
Merchan has trampled all over Trump’s First Amendment rights with the illegal gag order. Trump isn’t allowed to defend himself against attacks from witnesses. Meanwhile Michael Cohen is on TikTok trashing Trump.
Trump pulled out a piece of paper and read quotes from CNN and other news outlets on what they are reporting about the ‘hush money’ case.
“Some of these statements made about this witch hunt,” Trump said as pulled out a piece of paper.
“On CNN – fake news CNN – Michael Moore said the proof of falsified records has not been accomplished,” Trump said. “On ‘Good Morning America’ they said, expense payments to lawyers are not illegal expenses…”
Trump continued, “There’s no case…it’s an unfair trial”

Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday afternoon indefinitely postponed Jack Smith’s classified documents trial against Trump.
As previously reported, Judge Cannon on Monday night postponed a key deadline in the classified documents case after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to tampering with evidence.
Cannon on Monday evening temporarily stayed a May 9 deadline for President Trump and his co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira related to CIPA.
On Tuesday afternoon, Judge Cannon set a second set of pre-trial deadlines to manage pending discovery and disclosure matters.
The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.
“The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury. The Court therefore vacates the current May 20, 2024, trial date (and associated calendar call), to be reset by separate order following resolution of the matters before the Court, consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice,” Cannon wrote in an order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
Judge Cannon set hearings on key motions, including Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution.
Additionally, a June 21 hearing was set on Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment based on the unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis refused to answer a public records lawsuit seeking records of her communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia to declare a default judgment against Fani Willis after she refused to respond to its lawsuit related to communications she had with Jack Smith and the sham January 6 Committee.
Last year House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan launched an investigation into whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated with federal officials during her years-long probe into Trump and his associates.
Chairman Jordan in his letter to Fani Willis requested all documents and communications between or among the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and DOJ and its components, including but not limited to the Office of Special Counsel Jack Smith, referring or relating to your office’s investigation of President Donald Trump or any of the other eighteen individuals against whom charges were brought in the indictment.
In referring to Jim Jordan’s letter to Fani Willis, Judicial Watch filed a Georgia Open Records Act request seeking records of her communications with Jack Smith.
Fani Willis failed to respond to Judicial Watch’s lawsuit.
Judicial Watch reported:
Judicial Watch announced today that it asked the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to declare a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis in Judicial Watch’s lawsuit seeking records of communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee.
The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, GA, after Willis and the county denied having any records responsive to an August 2023 Georgia Open Records Act request for communications with the Special Counsel’s office and/or the January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al. (No. 24-CV-002805)). (Judicial Watch dismissed Fulton County from the lawsuit.)
In its motion Judicial Watch noted that Willis was served with the lawsuit on March 11, 2024, but that she has not yet answered it:
Defendant has not filed an answer and no answer has been served upon [Judicial Watch].… Defendant’s answer was due 30 days after service, or on April 10, 2024. Pursuant to [Georgia law] the case automatically became in default when an answer was not filed by the due date. Further pursuant to that Code section, Defendant was permitted as a matter of right to open the default within 15 days of the day of default, or by April 25, 2024.
Judicial Watch asserts it is now entitled to a verdict and judgment by default.
“I think this is the first time in Judicial Watch’s thirty years that a government official failed to answer an open records lawsuit in court,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “This further shows Ms. Willis has something to hide about her collusion with the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi’s Congress on her unprecedented and compromised ‘get-Trump’ prosecution.”

It’s not racist when the Democrats say it.
New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul said black kids in the Bronx don’t know what the word “computer” is during remarks in Los Angeles this week.
Hochul made the racist remarks at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles.
“Now what we have is the money to build a phenomenal super computer that is gonna be accessible to the researchers in New York, college students, will attract more federal grants, and this is how we lay down the mark,” Kathy Hochul said. “No state has done this. In fact, I talk to a lot of other people who say, ‘I wish my governor had thought of that first.’ I say, ‘No no, this is New York. We like to be first,’ with all due respect to you from other states.”
“It’s sort of our attitude. We will be the best, we will be the first, and I want others to follow, because right now we have young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is. They don’t know. They don’t know these things,” Hochul added.

Hochul told the New York Post she “misspoke.”
“I misspoke and I regret it,” Hochul later told the New York Post in a statement. “Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI. That’s why I’ve been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my Administration.”
Hochul sure sounds a lot like racist Joe Biden who previously suggested blacks and Hispanics are too stupid to figure out how to “get online.”

Trump’s attorneys moved to strike much of Stormy Daniels’ testimony before she took the witness stand, but Judge Merchan still allowed the unnecessary salacious details in his courtroom.
Once prosecutors began asking Stormy Daniels detailed questions about her sexual encounter with Trump, the judge acted shocked and admonished Trump’s lawyers for not objecting to her testimony!
Per TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia who is reporting live from inside of the courtroom: Prosecutors are asking how tall she is relative to Trump and whether there was a power dynamic between them. Now asking about their alleged sexual affair, the position they were in, whether they were intoxicated, “uncomfortable,” and “how they closed it off.”

Trump’s attorneys moved for a mistrial over Stormy Daniels’ testimony, but the crooked judge rejected it.
“What’s the jury to do with that? It’s still extraordinarily prejudicial to insert safety — safety concerns into a trial about business records. There’s no way to unring the bell in our view,” Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche argued.
“As a threshold matter, Mr. Blanche, I agree that there were things that would have been better left unsaid. I think the witness was a little difficult to control,” Judge Merchan said, according to ABC News.
Merchan added, “I don’t believe we’re at the point where a mistrial is warranted. I’m also surprised that there were not more objections.”
Unbelievable gaslighting!

Joe Biden went off-script during an interview with a Spanish-language radio station and admitted the real reason why he’s allowing millions of illegal aliens to invade the US.
An estimated 11 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – have entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.
Hundreds of thousands of illegals are pouring over the border every month.
Biden slipped and admitted the influx of illegals = new Democrat voters.
“It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters! Err, Hispanic citizens,” Biden said.

Excerpt from Fox News:
The prosecutor from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office leading questioning of adult film actress Stormy Daniels in former President Trump’s unprecedented criminal trial donated to President Biden’s campaign in 2020 and a number of other Democratic politicians and organizations over the years, Fox News Digital has learned.
Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Daniels Tuesday as she testified as part of former President Trump’s unprecedented criminal trial.
Hoffinger’s donations to Biden came during the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Federal Election Commission records show.
Hoffinger donated $500 to Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 — a donation of $250 in February 2020 and another donation of $250 in March 2020.
Hoffinger also donated more than $900 to ActBlue during the 2020 cycle. ActBlue is an online fundraising platform for Democratic candidates, progressive organizations, and nonprofits.
Hoffinger also donated to a number of other Democratic congressional campaigns in 2020 and 2018. Hoffinger was hired by Bragg’s office in 2022, after the political contributions were made.
Alvin Bragg’s top prosecutor Matthew Colangelo – a top DOJ official that Joe Biden sent to New York in 2022 to take down Trump – was paid by the DNC for ‘political consulting.’
Matthew Colangelo previously worked in the Justice Department (Biden appointee) and is a lifelong left-wing activist.
It has now been revealed that Colangelo was paid $12,000 by the DNC in 2018.
“According to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by Fox News Digital, DNC Services Corp/Democratic National Committee paid Colangelo twice on Jan. 31, 2018. Colangelo was given two payments of $6,000, for a total of $12,000.” Fox News reported.

Joe Biden on Wednesday departed the White House en route to Wisconsin to deliver remarks on his dumpster fire economy.
Biden ignored reporters shouting questions about his latest impeachable scandal as he shuffled across the South Lawn.
According to Politico: Joe Biden is holding up shipments of two Boeing-made precision bombs to send a political message to Israel.
This is the first time Biden has withheld weapons to Israel since the October 7 terrorist attack.
“The U.S. has yet to sign off on a pending sale of Boeing’s Joint Direct Attack Munitions — both the munitions and kits that convert them to smart weapons — and Small Diameter Bombs, according to six industry and congressional sources with knowledge of the discussions.” – Politico reported.
“While the Biden administration has not formally denied the potential sale, it is essentially taking action through inaction — holding off on approvals and other aspects of the weapons transfer process — to send a message to Israel, a U.S. administration official familiar with the process told POLITICO. The official, along with others, was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.” – Politico reported.

A grand jury indicted the illegal alien who brutally murdered 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.
22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student, was recently murdered by a Venezuelan illegal.
The illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley crossed into the US on Biden’s open border invitation.
According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”
Joe Biden hesitated even to say Laken Riley’s name and he apologized for calling her killer an “illegal immigrant.”
Jose Ibarra, the 26-year-old illegal from Venezuela, was indicted on 10 counts. He was also accused of being a “peeping Tom” according to the indictment.
“The suspect is also accused of going to an apartment on UGA’s “University Village Housing Building ‘S,'” where he “peeped through” a window and “spied upon” a university staff member on the same day he allegedly killed Riley, the indictment alleges.” Fox News reported.
Fox News reported:
A Georgia grand jury on Tuesday indicted Jose Ibarra, the suspect charged in Augusta University student Laken Riley’s murder, on 10 counts, court documents show.
Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, is accused of killing Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student, while she was out for a run along dirt trails on the University of Georgia campus in Athens on Feb. 22.
The grand jury indicted Ibarra on counts of malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence and being a “peeping Tom.”
Ibarra is accused of causing Riley’s death by inflicting blunt-force trauma to her head and “asphyxiating her in a manner unknown to jurors,” the indictment states.

An illegal alien from Guatemala who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation in January was arrested on Saturday for the kidnap of a minor to sexually assault them.
Marvin Dionel Perez Lopez was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida on Saturday. He illegally crossed the US border in January.
Perez Lopez was released by Border Patrol and was given a court date for some time in 2027!
“Through the investigation, detectives learned that Perez Lopez left Guatemala in early January, crossed through Mexico, turned himself in to Border Patrol, was given a court date for some time in 2027 and was released,” the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.
Perez Lopez is being held in the Palm Beach County jail on no bond.

David Homol was arrested by Biden’s FBI Gestapo agents in January 2024 – 3 years after the Capitol protest – and hit with 8 charges.
Homol is at least the 5th January 6 defendant to commit suicide after being indicted by Biden’s Justice Department.

Four other January 6 defendants committed suicide following merciless harassment by Biden’s DOJ. Among these were Matthew Perna, Jord Meachum, Mark Aungst, and Chris Stanton.
The intense scrutiny, public shaming, and legal pressures have created an unbearable environment for those awaiting trial or serving sentences, which contributed to a sense of hopelessness and isolation, ultimately leading to tragic outcomes.
Matthew Perna, a non-violent Trump supporter who was arrested after January 6, committed suicide. He was never accused of violence or vandalism. He walked inside the US Capitol.
Newly released Jan 6 footage shows Matthew Perna calmly walking through the Capitol alongside police.
Matthew Lawrence Perna (June 1984 — Feb. 2022)
22-year-old Nejourde Meacham died on August 28, 2021, two weeks after the Biden regime charged him with four misdemeanor crimes for walking inside the open doors of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The young man committed suicide and shot himself in the head.
Jord Meacham (June 2001 — August 2023)
Mark Aungst (May 1975 — July 2022)

53-year-old Christopher Stanton Georgia committed suicide after he was charged in the Capitol riot, according to the Fulton County medical examiner. Chris was found with a gunshot wound to the chest and died by suicide
Georgia was charged with attempting to “enter certain property that is, the United States Capitol Grounds, against the will of the United States Capitol Police.”

The Hill reported:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) moved to force a vote on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday, a momentous move that is all but certain to fail amid opposition from Democrats and conservative Republicans.
Greene — who filed her motion to vacate against Johnson more than a month ago — called her resolution to the floor as privileged on Wednesday, forcing GOP leadership to move on the measure within two legislative days.
Last month Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) became the third Republican on board to oust Speaker Johnson.
Gosar previously joined Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie in their effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The House of Representatives previously advanced a foreign aid bill that allocates billions of dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
“Nearly 11 million illegal aliens have crossed our southern border in the past three years. My congressional district in Arizona, ground zero for the invasion, is getting pummeled by the surge of lawbreakers. These illegal aliens have brought violent crime, deadly drugs, human trafficking and are depleting resources and services meant for U.S. citizens. In fact, every state has become a border state. Communities across the country are being ravaged, families are being destroyed and Americans in need are being ignored,” Gosar said.
He added, “Congress cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the consequence of Biden’s disastrous open border policies, nor can it idly wait for Biden to halt this invasion through executive fiat. Congress has the responsibility to solve this crisis.”

Biden thought he was going to have a softball interview with CNN but he completely crumbled when Erin Burnett fact-checked him to his face.
Burnett pointed out that the economy is the most important issue for voters.
“It’s also true, Mr. President that voters, by a wide margin, trust Trump more on the economy. They say that in polls,” Erin Burnett said.
She continued, “The cost of buying a home in the United States is double – if you look at what it was, the monthly costs before the pandemic.”
“Real income, when you account for inflation is actually down since you took office,” Burnett said. “Economic growth last week, far short of expectations.”
“Consumer confidence, maybe no surprise, is near a two-year a low. With less than 6 months until Election Day, are you worried that you are running out of time to turn that around?” Erin Burnett asked Biden.
Biden snapped and immediately rattled off his talking points. Of course, all he did was lie.
“We already turned it around!” Biden exclaimed. “The polling data has been wrong all along!”
Burnett interjected as Biden claimed the US has the strongest economy in the world: “The GDP was far short of expectations.”
Biden denied this and falsely claimed inflation was 9% when he came into office.

Biden’s sexual assault victim Tara Reade sat down for a one-on-one interview with Tucker Carlson while he was in Russia earlier this year.
Tara fled to Russia in May 2023, and is suing the Department of Justice over alleged misconduct.
Tara Reade told Tucker that she is seeking political asylum in Russia because Biden’s Justice Department is after her.
Reade said in 1993, then-Senator Joe Biden pushed her up against the wall and penetrated her with his fingers.
He sexually assaulted me in 1993 when I worked as his staffer. @MiaFarrow then when I came forward publicly, he used his power and resources to destroy me. Stop. It is more than a little painful to read about his “moral center” that is a PR image not reality.
— Tara Reade (@ReadeAlexandra) December 1, 2022
In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Tara Reade began by explaining how she was given a duffel bag and told to “hurry” up and give it to then-Senator Biden.
She caught up with Biden in a corridor in the Russel building to give him his gym bag and that’s when he sexually assaulted her.
“He greeted me, he remembered my name. I handed him the bag, and it happened very quickly,” Reade said. “I remember — I remember being pushed up against the wall and thinking…the first thought I had was ‘where’s the bag,’ which is absurd thought.”
“He had his hands underneath my clothes and it happened all at once,” Reade continued as she became emotional. “So he had one hand underneath my shirt and the other hand I had a skirt on, and he like went down my skirt and then went up and I remember I was up almost on my tippy-toes.”
Reade told Megyn Kelly that Biden whispered something vulgar in her ear as he assaulted her.
The media totally ignored Tara Reade even though she had contemporaneous witnesses and evidence to back up her claims that Biden sexually assaulted her.
Joe Biden’s senate records likely contain files related to Tara Reade’s accusations that Biden assaulted her, however they are at the University of Delaware under seal hidden way from the public.
Biden’s corrupt Justice Department is running interference and harassing Tara Reade.
Tara Reade told Tucker Carlson that her attorney filed a complaint with the DOJ’s Inspector General about the way she was treated by the FBI and DOJ and how they were harassing her.
After hearing no response from the DOJ’s IG, Reade said her attorney filed a tort claim for $10 million.
Reade, who is currently in exile in Russia, said there is a federal criminal investigation into her with a grand jury. She claimed she is on the verge of being indicted by the federal government, however, since it is under seal, she says she has no idea what it is about.

Bidenomics: Screw Americans at all costs.
Per the Center for Immigration Studies: All employment growth has gone to the foreign-born. 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans are working than in 2019, before Covid. Yet, the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9 million over 2019.
“Comparing the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2023 shows 2.7 million more people working in the United States — 2.9 million more immigrants (legal and illegal) and 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans. Since the depths of the Covid Recession in 2020 employment has increased for both groups. But the number of U.S.-born workers has not made it back to the 2019 pre-Covid level. Equally important, the share of working-age, U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s not in the labor force deteriorated in the decades prior to 2019, and the rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 was lower still. These individuals do not show up as unemployed because they have not looked for a job in the four weeks prior to the survey. The long-term decline in the labor force participation rate of less-educated men is linked to serious social problems, from suicide and crime to drug overdoses and social isolation.” CIS reported.
“This analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies is based on the Current Population Survey (CPS), collected by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We focus on the peak years of prior economic expansions (2000, 2006, and 2019) as well as 2023 because it is the most recent quarterly data available. Immigrants (legal and illegal together) in the CPS are often referred to as the “foreign-born” and include all persons who were not U.S. citizens at birth — primarily naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents, long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers), and illegal immigrants.” CIS reported.
All employment growth has gone to the foreign-born. 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans are working than in 2019, before Covid. Yet, the number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9 million over 2019. pic.twitter.com/qVTbLptXw6

Last year it was reported month after month that foreign-born workers were taking all the jobs while native born-Americans lost their jobs.
1.2 million native-born Americans lost their jobs in August.
771,000 foreign-born workers replaced them.

Twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Thursday launched another attack on Trump while the Biden Regime is trying to put the former president in prison for non-crimes.
Hillary Clinton doubled down on her claims that Trump is trying to jail his political opponents – while Trump is in court fighting the Biden Regime’s Soviet-style lawfare trial.
“Maybe he wouldn’t jail all of his political opponents. One is one too many. Maybe he wouldn’t try to force out business, the members of the press who didn’t agree with him. One is one too many,” Hillary Clinton said.
Clinton suggested Trump would end all elections.
Typical projection. The Democrats are through with elections. Rush Limbaugh called this in October 2020.
“They [the Democrats] resent the whole premise behind elections. They don’t believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them.,” the late great Rush Limbaugh said.
Hillary Clinton suggested Trump would end elections.
“We go down the line, and maybe this would be our last election because someone who will not accept the validity of an election is someone who doesn’t believe in elections,” Hillary Clinton said.

Hillary made similar remarks last month during her podcast interview with Marc Elias, a far-left lawyer who helped Hillary purchase the fake Trump-Russia dossier in 2016.
“Putin does what [Trump] would like to do,” Hillary Clinton said to corrupt left-wing lawyer Marc Elias on his “Democracy Docket” podcast. “Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists into exile, rule without any check or balance. That’s what Trump really wants. And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because in that world, he only sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin. He sees Xi. He sees Kim Jong Un in North Korea. Those are the people he is modeling himself after and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.”

U.S Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:22-cv-03147)).” the watchdog said.
“This recording is real-time evidence of the Biden administration’s whole government operation to abuse Trump by raiding his home. Judicial Watch will continue to piece together the details of the conspiracy to launch an unprecedented and malicious raid on the home of Biden’s chief political opponent,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.
The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.
Machine-gun-toting agents descend on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 and by November Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.
Within a few months Special Counsel Jack Smith had issued a flurry of subpoenas and by June 2023 Trump was indicted on 37 federal charges.

A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected Hunter Biden’s bid to toss gun charges.
“The defendant in this criminal case appealed three pretrial orders entered on April 12, 2024, denying his motions to dismiss the indictment,” the court document released Thursday states. “This appeal is DISMISSED because the defendant has not shown the District Court’s orders are appealable before final judgment.”
In September Hunter Biden was indicted on federal gun charges. He was indicted in a Delaware court on three counts related to his possession of a firearm while using drugs.
“Two of the counts carry a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, while the third has a maximum of five years,” NBC News reported.
Hunter pleaded not guilty to all three felony gun charges in October.
Separately, Hunter Biden was hit with a 9-count indictment filed in the Central District of California: Tax evasion, failure to file/pay taxes, and false/fraudulent tax return.
US District Judge Mark Scarsi, a Trump appointee, tentatively set the trial for Hunter’s tax-related charges for June 20.
If convicted on the tax-related charges, Hunter Biden faces up to 17 years in prison.
The Gateway Pundit reported back in October 2020 that Hunter’s then-lover and deceased brother’s widow Hallie Biden tossed the gun in the trash. Hunter admitted this in an online conversation with his family when they accused him of inappropriate conduct in front of a child.
TGP published additional text messages from Hunter Biden that were devastating.
In a long text that Hunter sent to a family friend, Hunter exposed all that was going on with him and his family. (See also the Illustrated Primer)
Hunter shared that his dead brother’s wife, Hallie Biden, whom he had an affair with, threw his gun away and the police, FBI and Secret Service got involved. Hallie claimed she did this because she was afraid Hunter would harm himself or the kids!
Hallie Biden has not been charged.

Trump’s attorneys filed a motion for mistrial on Thursday after Stormy Daniels took the witness stand.
Stormy Daniels took the witness stand again Thursday in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial against Trump in New York City.
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 payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”
Stormy sparred with Trump’s lawyers on Thursday over her claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump back in 2006.

Stormy blew it on the witness stand on Tuesday.
Stormy testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.
She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.
Trump’s attorneys on Tuesday moved for a mistrial over Stormy Daniels’ testimony, but the crooked judge rejected it.
“What’s the jury to do with that? It’s still extraordinarily prejudicial to insert safety — safety concerns into a trial about business records. There’s no way to unring the bell in our view,” Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche argued.
“As a threshold matter, Mr. Blanche, I agree that there were things that would have been better left unsaid. I think the witness was a little difficult to control,” Judge Merchan said, according to ABC News.

Howell previously ordered Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran to testify before a grand jury in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.

Cannon on Tuesday afternoon indefinitely postponed Jack Smith’s classified documents trial against Trump after the Special Counsel admitted to tampering with evidence.
Judge Cannon set a second set of pre-trial deadlines to manage pending discovery and disclosure matters.
The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.
“The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury. The Court therefore vacates the current May 20, 2024, trial date (and associated calendar call), to be reset by separate order following resolution of the matters before the Court, consistent with Defendants’ right to due process and the public’s interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice,” Cannon wrote in an order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
Judge Cannon set hearings on key motions, including Walt Nauta’s motion to dismiss for selective and vindictive prosecution.
Additionally, a June 21 hearing was set on Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment based on the unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.
Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.
According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the ‘classified’ documents they seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!

House Speaker Mike Johnson says he will not defund hired gun Jack Smith just hours after he survived Marjorie Taylor Greene’s motion to vacate on Wednesday.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) on Wednesday moved to oust Speaker Mike Johnson.
MTG last month filed her motion to vacate against Speaker Johnson. She brought the resolution to the House floor on Wednesday.
The House speedily squashed MTG’s motion. Lawmakers voted to table the resolution: 359 “yeas” to 43 “nays” and 7 “presents”
Not only did Mike Johnson fund Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan without committing funding to protect the US border, he also promised to protect hired gun Jack Smith.
This is after Jack Smith admitted he lied to the court and tampered with evidence related to his classified docs case against Trump.
“I triggered my Motion to Vacate yesterday because Mike Johnson refused to commit to defunding Special Council Jack Smith,” MTG said on Thursday. “Now, he’s not just saying he won’t defund it, he’s promising to PROTECT it.”
“If the Democrats saving Mike Johnson’s Speakership didn’t convince you he’s in fact their Speaker of the House, this should!” she added.

Jack Smith also indicted Trump on 4 charges in DC related to January 6.

More than 10 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age men – have crossed the US border since Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
The US has completely lost control over the US-Mexico border because of Joe Biden. The Mexican cartel is in charge.
“We do not control the border. The cartel controls the border,” the whistleblower said. “Everything we do is a reaction to things that they have planned. Usually, we’re chasing around pawns while the kings and queens are doing whatever they want.”

The Biden Regime is one step closer to jailing former Trump aide and conservative firebrand Steve Bannon.
Steven Bannon is also the host of the most pro-MAGA podcast “The War Room.”
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld Bannon’s conviction for contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena related to the sham January 6 investigation.
Bannon does not need to report to prison right away. He has 7 days to request an en banc review (a decision from the court’s entire slate of judges) or he can petition the US Supreme Court.
NBC News reported:
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has upheld Steve Bannon’s conviction on two counts of contempt of Congress.
Bannon was convicted after a trial in 2022 and sentenced to four months in prison. The trial judge, however, stayed Bannon’s sentence, allowing him to remain free pending his appeal.
Bannon still has the option of asking the full bench of the D.C. Circuit to hear his case, or he can petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review.
An order issued by the D.C. Circuit said the judges’ mandate will not officially take effect until seven days after further appeal attempts are resolved. That means Bannon is unlikely to have to report to prison immediately.
After deliberating for three hours, a DC jury in July 2022 found Steven Bannon guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas to the controversial and completely biased January 6 Select Committee.
A federal judge previously denied Steve Bannon’s request for a new trial and dismissal in the contempt of Congress case.
Bannon refused to provide documents to the January 6 Committee because President Trump asserted executive privilege.
“Based on long-standing U.S. Department of Justice authority, you should not appear for deposition or provide documents,” Bannon argued.
Former Gorsuch clerk and regular guest on Bannon’s “War Room” Mike Davis said, “Today’s ruling by the DC Circuit on Steve Bannon’s claim of executive privilege is both shameful and predictable, as the DC courts are filled with partisans and cowards.”
“We’ve had constitutional executive privilege for 250 years, going back to George Washington,” Davis said.
“So Presidents can get candid advice from their presidential advisors (both inside and outside of government( without fear they will get hauled before Congress—and especially not get thrown in prison,” he added.

One of Alvin Bragg’s paralegals also took the witness stand on Friday. Paralegal Jaden Jarmel-Schneider testified that Bragg’s office deleted three pages of phone calls between Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Keith Davidson and Michael Cohen.
CNN reported:
Defense attorney Emil Bove is challenging the evidence prosecutors are putting forward, asking paralegal Jaden Jarmel-Schneider about the deletion of some toll records between Keith Davidson and Michael Cohen after the defense submitted recordings between the two from 2018.
The paralegal has admitted that they’ve deleted some call records from the files. Bove also has Jarmel-Schneider confirm that some calls were removed from an exhibit of calls between Gina Rodriguez and Dylan Howard.
Bove said it was three-pages worth of records.
Jarmel-Schneider took issue with Bove characterizing it as a “significant” number but he did acknowledge some were removed.
“At this trial, you’re sort of the guardian of the toll records?” Bove asks.
“I don’t know if I’d say that, but if you say so,” Jarmel-Schneider responds.
Insanity! How on earth is this not a felony committed by Bragg and his minions? It sure would be if team Trump did it.

More from KTLA:
Sam Rubin, one of the most respected and connected entertainment anchors in the nation, died suddenly on Friday at age 64.
The circumstances surrounding his death were not immediately released. Rubin was on the air a day earlier and showed no outward signs of illness, co-workers said.
Rubin joined KTLA 5 Morning News in Los Angeles in 1991, instantly making an impact with his encyclopedic knowledge of film and television and infectious charm. His news reports, interviews and feature segments were central to the morning broadcast and a hallmark of KTLA’s brand.
“The Sam that you saw on the air is the Sam that was off the air,” Rubin’s longtime colleague and friend Frank Buckley said in announcing his passing on live television. “Our hearts are broken. To all of us he shared his mornings with on television, and to those he worked with behind the scenes … we will not forget him. Quite simply, Sam was KTLA.”

Democrat Rep. Collin Allred (TX) handed out cards with instructions to help illegal aliens evade law enforcement and deportation.
Allred is currently running for US Senate in Texas against Republican Ted Cruz.
According to Fox News, Allred handed out “Know Your Rights Cards” during one of his campaign stops in Dallas earlier this month.
Fox News reported:
Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, the Democratic nominee in the Texas Senate race, is handing out cards with instructions to help illegal immigrants evade law enforcement and potential deportation.
Allred handed out the “Know Your Rights Cards” during a recent campaign event with the Dallas County Democrat Party in early May, while running for the seat currently held by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
The red cards, viewed by Fox News Digital, explain how someone in the U.S. illegally can avoid immigration agents that are asking them questions or showing up at their door.
When asked about the distribution of such cards, Allred did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
More than 10 million illegal aliens – mainly military-age males – have crossed the border since Joe Biden took office in January 2021.
The illegals will be a huge voting bloc for Democrats and they will be given representation in Congress.
House Democrats on Wednesday night voted unanimously to give illegal aliens – including Joe Biden’s 11 million illegal border crossers – representation in Congress and the Electoral College.
Democrats continue to put Americans and American workers in line behind alien invaders.
The House vote was 206 to 202 with 22 representatives 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans abstaining from the vote.
ALERT: House Dems just voted UNANIMOUSLY to give illegals representation in Congress AND the Electoral College. House Seats and Electoral College votes WILL BE added to areas with the most illegals (including all Biden illegals) unless Senate passes the bill. Invasion by design. pic.twitter.com/nVjhmsNh34
