The Alvin Bragg lawfare case against President Trump is already falling apart in its New York courtroom. It was obvious from the start of this latest garbage lawsuit against President Trump that there was never a case against Trump but the Marxists in New York insisted on pushing forward with the case anyway. Now they are hoping that a corrupt court and leftist jurors will find Trump guilty of the latest made-up crime they are throwing at him in hopes to sway uninformed Americans to vote for Old Joe in 2024. On Thursday David Pecker destroyed the prosecution’s case. Pecker...

Remember when the Secret Service was the elite of the elite? It was the one government agency everybody could agree on. Those brave men and women put their bodies on the line to protect the president, and therefore the stability of the free world.But somewhere along the way, the agency seems to have lowered its standards a bit.Brie Stimson, Fox News:A U.S. Secret Service agent with Vice President Kamala Harris’ detail was removed from their assignment after engaging in a physical fight with other agents while on duty Monday…Anthony Guglielmi, chief of communications for the U.S. Secret Service, called the...

This week the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Fischer vs. United States. This concerns the severity of punishment given to many defendants convicted of trespassing in the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, representing the Department of Justice was being questioned by several of the Associate Justices. Justice Paul Gorsuch wondered whether "initiating a false fire alarm like Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) did in order to obstruct a House vote on a bill would be sufficient to trigger a 20-year prison sentence?" Prelogar said "no, because the delay was only a few...

KARMA IS A BITCH!........But a lovely one........................

The Hamas 7 October massacre echoes previous pogroms in Palestine – notably the Safed pogrom of 1834. In this masterful analysis, published by the Fondation pour l’Innovation Politique, Georges Bensoussan identifies the rejection of moves to reform the dhimmi status and introduce equality between Muslims and non-Muslims as one of the primary causes of Arab hostility towards Jews. The conflict became islamised in the 1920s, and Arab anti-Zionism then drew on the antisemitic themes contained in the notorious Russian forgery, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Pen and ink sketch by Samuel Manning in 1873, showing Jews praying at...

Today’s economic news highlights “Government Power.” Unproductive government jobs saw wages rise 8.5% YoY while productive private sector jobs saw wages rise by only 5.5% YoY. This is Bidenomics!!! With inflation data surprising to the upside recently… Source: Bloomberg …the doves’ last chance for sooner than later rate-cuts is today’s Core PCE Deflator – often described as The Fed’s favorite inflation signal. Last month saw an uptick in the headline deflator and following yesterday’s core PCE rise for Q1, all eyes are on the March data released this morning. However, both the headline and core PCE Deflator data printed hotter...

The Green Slime! The global movement towards Green Energy (or global Marxist movement) is really The Green Slime! Or maybe it should be renamed “The Red Slime.” Ford lost $132,000 on every electric vehicles they sold in Q1. It was so bad that even CNN reported it! And then we have Hertz dumping its inventory of EVs. A slew of used Teslas have hit the Hertz car sales website after the company announced Thursday it planned to sell off 10,000 more electric vehicles from its fleet than originally planned, bringing the fire sale’s total to 30,000. Perhaps one of the...

Electoral College, 2024. Source: Chessrat, via Wikimedia Commons. Public Domain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While Americans brace for another contentious presidential election, the Democrats have a better idea: Subvert the Constitution in the name of “democracy.” Once again, the party of the left shows why it’s losing Americans’ trust. Quietly but steadily, the Democratic Party has been advancing its latest bold idea to create a uni-party state: A “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.” In case you missed it, the Associated Press reported last week that “Maine will become the latest to join a multistate effort to elect the president by popular vote,” the...

A string of potentially defining exchanges have gone viral in recent weeks, potentially capturing a major shift in mood as the nation appears headed for a Trump-Biden rematch in November. Past presidential elections have often seen public sentiment shift in response to a major ad campaign, a change of position from a major candidate, unexpected developments abroad, or an economic downturn, but sometimes small moments can prove pivotal. President George H. W. Bush in 1992, famously checked his watch during a presidential debate against Bill Clinton and Ross Perot. Commenters said that "glancing at the wrist watch in a debate...

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he “apologized” to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for failing to send the millions of tax dollars in aid to the country “fast enough.” During an appearance on “Face the Nation,” McConnell discussed approving the supplemental aid, which provides further funding to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

ight key things to understand about the cacophony on campusHypocrisy projection: When someone who generally only cares about the free speech rights of people they agree with asserts that everybody ELSE is a hypocrite, usually without actually bothering to check if their opponent has, in fact, been consistent.In my book with Rikki Schlott, “The Canceling of the American Mind,” we coined the term “hypocrisy projection” to describe the tactic of critics who look to dismiss people or organizations (like FIRE) by accusing them of being inconsistent in their principles. The irony, of course, is that the accusers themselves tend to...

David Pecker, a key witness in the Manhattan trial, testified that he agreed to execute "catch and kill" deals expressly in service of helping Trump's 2016 presidential campaign --- a plot that prosecutors have labeled a conspiracy to illegally influence the election. In his third day [04/25/2024] of testimony, Pecker, the former publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid, offered jurors a vivid recounting of two such arrangements: one with Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who claimed she had a yearlong relationship with Trump, and the other with Stormy Daniels, a porn star who alleged a sexual encounter with Trump,...

On Apr 25, 2024, Ismail Allison of Hamas-linked-CAIR Islamist lobby, (Hamas is the fascist Palestine Gaza regime which seeks Gazans deaths to gather sympathy), announced that CAIR is "condemning" ADL's head...for exposing Islamic Republic hands at SJP / "activists'" racism."Iran has their military proxies like Hezbollah, and Iran has their campus proxies like these groups like SJP and JVP."

Almost half of Latino adults support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants — more than both blacks and Democrats, a new Harris Poll survey conducted exclusively for Axios reveals. According to the national survey of 6,251 U.S. adults, conducted March through April, a 51% majority say they support mass deportations of “undocumented” (aka, illegal) immigrants. But a closer look yields some surprising results. Nearly half (45%) of Latinos say they support mass deportation of illegal aliens, more than the 40% support of black respondents. Among whites, 56% say they’re in favor. What’s more, 42% of Democrats support a sweeping purge...

If you have followed law and politics for any length of time, you have probably heard of “speaking indictments.” That’s where the prosecution will write an indictment or court motion with very granular -yet perhaps not pertinent- details of a case against a suspect that highlights a much bigger picture than a singular perspective against the individual defendant. The intent is to make the public aware of the details within a case by making them part of the court record. In the Special Counsel Jack Smith constructed Lawfare case against Donald Trump, what is generally called “the documents case”, involving...

VIDEOThe biggest mistake a TDS liberal from New York can make is keying a MAGA vehicle in the FREE state of Florida. Just look at what happened to one Richard Brothers of Syracuse, New York who keyed a pickup truck in a supermarket parking lot in the Lower Keys of Florida that had a "Let's Go Brandon!" bumper sticker. Brothers at first ACTED like he didn't know why the very polite officer from the Monroe County Sheriffs Department had approached him. However, after being confronted with surveillance of him doing the dirty deed he quickly confessed. Watch as poor Dick...

Once again, choose accurate language. That is not “demonstrators.”I have previously written about the importance of accurate language to inform the American public about what is going on. See “Covid” Didn’t Destroy Businesses and Lives; the Government Did. Language shapes the terrain on which the political debates are fought. Many of our supposedly “elite” commentators, however, do not appear to understand this. I see constant references, even on outlets like Fox News, to the “demonstrators” when describing the pro-Hamas supporters who are shutting down freeways, blocking bridges illegally, and occupying campuses while assaulting and preventing Jewish students from attending classes.Referring...

The Federal Reserve is playing the song “Don’t rock the boat” ahead of the Presidential election. Despite the horrible economic news. 1) 4 months of hotter inflation (like today’s stagflationary GDP report) 2) Nearly 1.5 million full-time jobs decline with 1.9 part-time jobs created over a year 3) $2 trillion annual deficits Leading traders to price in 1 rate cut in December 2024. AFTER THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION! Under Biden, home prices are up 32.5% and conforming 30Y mortgage rates are UP 160%.

The MSM largely ignored the PA primary tuesday, as they are Trump Trial 24/7 at this point, but the PA primary was a DISASTER for Joe Biden, don't let the top line lazy reporting fool you. Lefties/TDS suffers want to latch onto the fact Trump only got 83% of the primary vote.. claiming that this was a closed primary state and he only got 83% of the vote. This is true, but the spin this is bad for Trump once again shows how little the establishment media either understands Trump (or more importantly his supporters) or that they are just...

Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman voiced concerns Monday about alleged racist tactics by the pro-Israeli group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). During a virtual town hall, Bowman pointed out what he perceives as a targeted campaign against him due to his critical stance on Israeli policies and his radical political style. Bowman, a member of the “Squad,” accused AIPAC of intimidation tactics and suggested that their criticisms veer into personal attacks, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
