President Donald Trump requested a new trial in the civil case brought against him by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who alleged that at some point she could not precisely remember in the mid-1990s he had sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman department store in midtown Manhattan, and that request has been denied by a federal judge. Carroll was awarded $83 million in a defamation suit following a win in her civil suit, in which a New York City judge and jury determined that Trump was civilly liable for sexual assault. The case did not meet...

DeSantis has made a concerted effort to keep in touch with the people who supported his presidential campaign, including donors and leaders in the early nominating states. Those close to him say he is actively considering how best to maintain his national profile and influence, including potential endorsements in congressional races. His recent moves appear distinctly aimed at keeping intact his political operation and his popularity with Republicans. DeSantis, though, is intent on remaining a relevant figure in the GOP regardless of what happens to Trump. He has tested new strategies for growing his following, including posting self-recorded videos online...

Trump must pay $ 83.3 MILLION to E. Jean Carroll for defamation, a federal jury has ruled

A three-year-old video showing Chick-fil-A’s boss shining the shoes of a black man during a plea for white people to fight racial injustice resurfaced this week amid a push by outraged conservatives to boycott the fast-food chain over its hiring of a diversity officer. Dan Cathy, the son of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, got down on his knees at a church in Atlanta in June 2020 as the city was gripped by protests over the police-involved deaths of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks. “I invite folks to put some words to action, and if we need to find somebody...

To be a black, Hispanic female, social justice warrior professor is to sit pretty close to the top of the victimhood pyramid. (She just needs be a disabled lesbian to hit for the cycle.) Given those exalted victimhood credentials, you have to wonder: How bad would her transgression have to be to get her fired?Well, we now have an answer! You have to hold a machete against a reporter’s neck on camera.We’ve found the line!The manic Manhattan college professor who threatened a Post reporter with a machete has been fired, the school said Tuesday — as it emerged she is...

Andrew Weissmann, the lead prosecutor for former special counsel Robert Mueller, said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was a “whack job” who could be in legal peril over her actions surrounding the 2020 presidential election. Discussing Thomas testifying before the January 6 House Select Committee, Weissmann said, “There’s also sort of her as an exhibit, where I mean, just to put it in your vernacular, she comes off like a whack job. There’s no evidence of the election being stolen. We are a bunch of adults having this conversation, but there’s...

ransomnote: The FOIAs in the lower half of the article are the primary reason I posted this. Dr. Lee Merrit referred to these FOIAs, noting that none of the listed viruses had ever been isolated. What's going on at the CDC?Click to skip to the bottom of this post.

Kim Clement is a self-proclaimed prophet who appeared in a powerful video that combines two video clips from 2007 and 2014. In the video, Clement prophesizes about a number of events that will take place in the future, after God puts his chosen leader in place. In this stunning video, Clement claims to prophesize about a series of events, many that have taken place since President Trump was elected. Clement died two weeks after President Trump won the 2016 election. “Hear me, for I have found a man after my own heart.” He begins. Clement says that two Supreme Court...

Jane Fonda was arrested Friday as she protested climate change on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building, CBS affiliate WUSA reports. The 81-year-old actress and a group of protestors were participating in her weekly "Fire Drill Friday" campaign. A total of 16 people were arrested at the protest on Friday, Capitol Police told CBS News. They were all charged with crowding, obstructing or incommoding. Fonda, who moved to Washington, D.C., to fight against climate change, made a vow to demonstrate on the steps of the Capitol building every Friday through January. Celebrities, scientists, economists and people from impacted communities...

Reality star and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner is calling out President Trump after reports that the administration is considering narrowing the legal definition of gender. Jenner, a prominent transgender figure, tweeted an image with the repeated phrase “Trans people won’t be erased,” and tagged Trump. The New York Times reported Sunday that the Trump administration is weighing a motion that would require individuals to identify as male or female based on their genitalia at birth. The move would effectively exclude transgender and nonbinary people from the government’s legal definition of gender and rollback protections for more than a million Americans....

More than seven years after President Donald Trump launched his political career by questioning then-President Barack Obama’s citizenship, Democrats are still struggling to find the right strategy to fight back against his racially-charged rhetoric. After years of taunting from Trump, Sen. Elizabeth Warren revealed her DNA results this week proving her Native American roots. If it was an effort to take on Trump directly, it didn’t seem to work. The president continued his mocking references to her as “Pocahontas” and she managed to offend Native Americans who felt their heritage was being used as a political prop. […] As Democrats...

I’m finding it kind of hard to keep up with all the rules about sex. On the one hand, it seems like we’re all supposed to be free to have sex with whomever we want, whenever we want, however we want (regardless of whether either party is married, knows one another, or intends to call in the morning). On the other hand, in order to actually have sex, we’re apparently required to obtain written consent — witnessed by a lawyer and signed in triplicate — or else it’s rape. So, are we having all the sex? Or aren’t we?It occurs...

“[If he] things that I am going to give him a pass, I am going to take his ass apart,” Waters said.

President Trump's son sounded off on the current state of the Democratic party on Wednesday during a FOX News appearance with Sean Hannity. In discussing Democratic opposition to President Trump, the 45th president's son told Hannity he has "never seen hatred like this." "To me, they're not even people," Eric Trump told the conservative host. "It's so, so sad. Morality is just gone. Morals have flown out the window." "You see the Democratic Party — they're imploding," the Trump son continued. "They're imploding. They're imploding. They have no message!" The executive vice president of the Trump Organization went on to...

Glenn Beck shared his thoughts on Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate on Facebook, declaring Carly Fiorina as the “biggest winner” and Donald Trump as the “biggest loser.” Beck said that Fiorina “looked presidential, serious, sharp, well informed, non establishment and tough.” He didn’t save any kind words for Trump, however. “Biggest loser was so clearly Trump. He is just not likable,” wrote Beck, who has been highly critical of Trump in the past several weeks. “I just don’t believe he is liked by tea party members. I stood with them and looked into their eyes, is poke with them, marched...

The Anti-Defamation League condemned Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan as the “leading anti-Semite in America” after a speech in which he blamed “Israelis and Zionist Jews” for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “At a time when anti-Semitic attitudes are at historic lows, Farrakhan’s unabashed promotion of anti-Semitism is a throwback to the intolerance of another era,” ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement issued Thursday. Farrakhan, who has a long history of anti-Semitic remarks, delivered his speech Sunday in Chicago as part of his Saviors Day 2015 sermon. “It is now becoming apparent that there...

When Barack Obama nominated John P. Holdren as his Science Adviser last December 20, the president-elect stated "promoting science isn’t just about providing resources" but "ensuring that facts and evidence are never twisted or obscured by politics or ideology." In nominating John Holdren, his words could scarcely have taken a more Orwellian ring. Some critics have noted Holdren's penchant for making apocalyptic predictions that never come to pass, and categorizing all criticism of his alarmist views as not only wrong but dangerous. What none has yet noted is that Holdren is a globalist who has endorsed "surrender of sovereignty" to...

Angela Corey, the special prosecutor who struck out going after George Zimmerman, has not taken defeat well. At Red State, streiff catalogues her outrageous behavior in an article that should be read in its entirety: I think everyone can now agree on one thing, Angela Corey was possibly the worst possible choice for a high profile prosecution. She has a sense of entitlement that is so typical of small people promoted to jobs that are well above their level of competency but who lack the self-awareness to recognize what everyone else knows. (You need look no further than her bizarre...

I admit it, I have mixed feelings about this. First, the news. "Roll Call" has just moved the FL-9 race into the "likely Dem" category, meaning that bloviating buffoon Alan Grayson will return to the House.
