While Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg has been pouring his energy into prosecuting Donald Trump for the crime of winning the 2016 presidential election against the heavily favored former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, crime in New York City (NYC) has taken a dismal turn. In 2023, of NYC's 109,000 prosecuted arrests only 7% resulted in imprisonment. Worse, over 70% of NYC's reported crimes remain unsolved. Repeat offenders, some of them violent, are routinely released without bail while awaiting prosecutions that may never occur. Bragg insists that "my priorities are not out-of-whack. All the assaults, robberies, rapes, and murders that...

It doesn't get much more absurd than this. No, scratch that. It is 2024. We live in a simulation scripted by the Babylon Bee, and those guys are geniuses. It will get more absurd every day.

NEW YORK — By this time next week, Donald Trump could be a convicted felon — or a newly acquitted man declaring complete and total exoneration. His Manhattan trial on charges for concealing a 2016 hush money scheme is suddenly hurtling toward a conclusion, with Justice Juan Merchan encouraging attorneys to prepare for closing arguments as soon as Tuesday. He would then instruct jurors on legal matters before sending them to deliberate.

Some of President Joe Biden’s 2020 voters named inflation, foreign policy and illegal immigration as their main reasons for considering backing former President Donald Trump, instead, in November, The New York Times reported on Friday. The NYT/Siena College survey released on Monday across Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania found that 14% of those who said they backed Biden in 2020 won’t do so this cycle. The outlet spoke with some of the Biden defectors included in the poll, with some planning to vote for Trump despite qualms with his personality. Frederick Westbrook, a retired hotel worker in Las...

"A disaster for Donald Trump is brewing in Georgia, and a lot of people want to make excuses instead of calling this out for what it is. It’s so bad it could cost Trump the state of Georgia if bad actors in GOP leadership positions in Georgia aren’t removed and forced to resign." - Laura LoomerThanks to Laura we have found that a major political scandal may be unfolding in Georgia that could shake up the political landscape in the state. All of this revolves around Jason Thompson, the RNC Committeeman for Georgia. Questions about his loyalty and effectiveness in...

luca Brasi was both protector and enforcer to Don Vito Corleone in the movie The Godfather. Today, Merrick Garland reprises that role for Joe Biden while Garland claims to be the god of all things legal and immune to the law itself. The House of Representatives had demanded the complete recordings of SCO Robert Hur's interview with Biden regarding Biden reckless handling of highly classified materials over the years. Hur recommended that while Biden was guilty that he face no criminal charges because he was a decrepit and forgetful old man. Biden, who had previously insisted that he had nothing...

A Soros-funded site, ProPublica, has investigated Justice Clarence Thomas endlessly for nothing. One of those nothings was his stay with billionaire friends, which he didn’t report. He didn’t have to report them, but that doesn’t matter to the leftists. Joe Biden is not reporting his free vacations at billionaire’s homes, and ProPublica is totally uninterested. ProPublica even won a Pulitzer for reporting legal non-disclosures meant to embarrass Originalist justices [as opposed to activist justices]. Democrats do that. They give each other awards. According to the New York Post: Biden took four vacations at the homes of wealthy supporters in 2023,...

CNN’s Anderson Cooper said Thursday has admitted that he would doubt the credibility of Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, after he provided testimony during the president’s criminal trial in New York. Discussing the trial with CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, Cooper agreed with the prevailing view that Cohen had crumbled under cross-examination from Trump’s defense lawyer, Todd Blanche. The transcript went as follows: VIDEO AT LINK.............. COOPER: Throughout the day, Michael Cohen, when cornered, he found himself in a corner he does have a pattern of suddenly not understanding the question being asked are seemingly kind of, I mean,...

VIDEOIt's one thing to hear conservative commentators state that Michael Cohen's credibility was destroyed during the Manhattan trial. However, it is quite amazing to hear someone as chock full of TDS hate as MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell admit that the Trump defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, utterly shredded Cohen's credibility.

When our world believes and KNOWS we stand at the precipice of turning off the engine fueling global chaos, endless wars, societal destruction, financial slavery, family division and the grotesque centralization of power & riches into the hands of the “elite” 1%, our world changes for the better. The LYNCH PIN to ending centralized tyranny is our understanding of how they constructed and continue to operate their slavery monetary system. Knowing the truth always set us free. Lack of knowledge always destroys us. Global control can end far sooner than most allow ourselves to believe. Thank you, Todd Wood, for...

I USUALLY avoid MSM news like the plague, but was driving listening to Classic FM the other day when one of their bulletins came on. Listening to it made me realise just how badly the British public are being misinformed about Donald Trump’s so-called hush money trial. Let’s backtrack. Ask yourself, what crime is it that Trump is being accused of committing? Paying hush money? No, this is not a crime. Indeed Non Disclosure Agreements, NDAs, are actually legally binding agreements, and are not illegal in any way. Keeping the payments secret? No, that is the whole purpose of an...

Cartels are now in control of the southern border while law enforcement watches helplessly as millions of illegal immigrants continue to pour into the U.S. An anonymous Border Patrol agent discussed the grim reality during an appearance on News Nation‘s “Dan Abrams Live” last week.

TOWNHALL MEDIA Warning to the New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his people running the prosecution of former President Donald Trump: When you've lost Anderson Cooper, you're in trouble. Cooper commented Thursday on Trump's team cross-examining "star witness" Michael Cohen, and he wasn't happy with the outcome. Watch: WATCH: CNN’s Anderson Cooper left stunned by Trump's attorney's cross examination of Michael Cohen:"It was incredible... lawyers want to build a box around the witness & slam it shut--that's what Todd Blanche did to Cohen... it was an extraordinary cross... Cohen was cornered… in... a lie" pic.twitter.com/d3aznuKvhS— TV News Now...

Alex Winston’s riveting article in the Jerusalem Post, “A Tale of two Leaders: The Paris meetings between Ben-Gurion and Ho Chi Minh” exposes the widespread post-war thirst for freedom by the post-World War II anti-colonial movement. It also brilliantly refutes the contention that Israel was a colonial enterprise.In fact, the Jewish peoples search for repatriation to their ancient homeland was part of a worldwide search by various national liberation movements from the European colonial powers. It was a part of the global effort by countries seeking national self-determination.This movement was fully embraced by the American Left following World War II....

Senator Kennedy is legend. 'If you eat enough shrimp from India, you will grow an extra ear.'

Former federal prosecutor Robert Costello testified Wednesday before Congress that disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen—the star witness in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump—told him he had “nothing truthful” implicating Trump in a crime. Costello, who advised Cohen when he became the subject of an investigation by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, told the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that Cohen is now on a “revenge tour” against Trump and lacks credibility. His testimony challenges claims Cohen made on the witness stand during Trump’s Manhattan trial....

The Potomac Local News, founded in 2010 “to help people understand what is happening in their local communities in Northern Virginia”, practices what it calls local “conservative journalistic standards” and almost prides itself on a fact of life about today’s politically bifurcated media landscape. As the online outlet explains on its “About” page” "Often overlooked by the Washington, D.C. legacy media, we’ve remained true to our community by providing local, can’t-get-it anywhere-else coverage of local government, business, and charitable organizations." But on May 3, the little online newspaper’s Kelly Sienkowski broke a major national story with serious policy and electoral...
