Judge Halts Prosecutors From Using Trump Mar-a-Lago Materials for Criminal Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge placed a roadblock on federal prosecutors conducting a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s handling of documents until a special master is appointed and has completed his or her work.

“The Court does not find that a temporary special master review under the present circumstances would cause undue delay” to the investigation, said U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida, granting Trump’s motion for a third-party review to look for privileged materials. She said the government is “temporarily enjoined from further review and use of any materials seized from” Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last month “for criminal investigative purposes” until the special master’s review process is complete.

Trump’s legal team argued its client’s constitutional rights were violated and that there may have been privileged documents among those taken by federal officials, and the former president is pursuing the appointment of a special master, often an attorney, to review independently the evidence that the FBI seized from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida last month. The Justice Department opposes a third-party review of the materials seized from Mar-a-Lago, warning of the harm such a process could have to national security and the criminal investigation.

Cannon, a Trump appointee, granted Trump’s motion to appoint a special master “to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney client and/or executive privilege.” Cannon ordered that the special master “review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege and make recommendations thereon, and evaluate claims for return of property.” (Read more from “Judge Halts Prosecutors From Using Trump Mar-A-Lago Materials for Criminal Investigation” HERE)

WATCH: Non-binary Teacher Takes to TikTok to Ask Whether There Is a Non-binary Form of the Term ‘Ma’am’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Libs of TikTok shared a video in which an individual, who apparently teaches somewhere in Texas and identifies as non-binary, asked whether there is a non-binary equivalent for the term “ma’am.”

The individual’s TikTok account includes a description that says, “Your local non-binary Math Teacher.” The account also includes the pronouns “They/Them.”

“I’ve come out to my students,” the teacher noted in the video. The person went on to say that a student had inquired about what language should be used, noting that referring to the teacher by saying “yes ma’am” or “yes” both seemed disrespectful.

The teacher, who noted in the video that the terms “ma’am” and “sir” are used to show respect, asked in the TikTok video whether there is a non-binary version.

“Open discussion welcome in the comments #teacher #nonbinary #enby,” the TikTok post states.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge revealed Monday that former President Trump’s medical records and documents related to his accounting information and taxes were seized during the FBI’s raid of his Mar-a-Lago home.

U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen M. Cannon ordered Monday that an independent special master be appointed to review Trump’s records for attorney-client and executive privilege. The judge also ordered the Justice Department stop its own review of the material for investigative purposes.

In the order, Cannon revealed the types of documents that had been seized during the raid.

“According to the Privilege Review Team’s Report, the seized materials include medical documents, correspondence related to taxes, and accounting information,” Cannon wrote.

A source familiar told Fox News that the FBI seized 40 years of Trump’s medical records from Mar-a-Lago during the search. (Read more from “Trump Medical Records, Tax Documents Seized in FBI Raid: Judge” HERE)

Special Master Granted by Judge in Shock Win for Trump’s Legal Team

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has granted former President Donald Trump’s request to appoint an independent special master to review the documents seized in last month’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, in a shock victory for the former president.

“The court hereby authorizes the appointment of a special master to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege,” U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in an order Monday.

The decision has put a “brief pause” into the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ongoing investigation of Trump, as government investigators are now barred from “reviewing and using the seized materials for investigative purposes” until the special master’s review is complete.

Trump’s attorneys requested the appointment of a special master to protect the former president’s rights, arguing that some of the documents taken in the search are “presumptively privileged” because they involve presidential communication with advisers.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A woman who previously attempted to transition to become a man and is now detransitioning opened up about her heartbreaking story and the consequences of transitioning.

The video, made by Jalissa Vine and titled “the aftermath of my transition,” appears to be the first in an upcoming series of videos titled “detransition diaries.”

According to the video, Vine lived as transgender for eight years and had both a double mastectomy, known as “top surgery,” and a hysterectomy.

It begins by noting, “The following is a very vulnerable and personal account of my experience as a detrans woman.”

Vine starts by saying, “It’s like mourning an entire life that should have been mine. I don’t know how this happened to me.” (Read more from “Detransitioner Gives Heartbreaking Testimony: ‘There’s No Fixing It’” HERE)

Mass Shootings Sweep Democrat-Run Cities During Labor Day Weekend

/0 Comments/in , /by

At least 11 mass shootings have occurred across mostly Democrat-run cities nationwide during Labor Day weekend so far, killing at least 15 people, according to Gun Violence Archive.

Mass shootings have occurred in cities including Saint Paul, Minnesota, Charleston, South Carolina, Chicago, Philadelphia and Cleveland, killing at least 15 people during Labor Day weekend so far, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Most of the cities are run by Democratic mayors.

The weekend’s deadliest mass shooting so far occurred in Saint Paul, Minnesota, represented by Democratic Mayor Melvin Carter III, where three people died and two others were injured on Sept. 5 in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood, according to The Hill.

The Gun Violence Archive defines mass shootings as incidents in which four or more people were shot or killed, excluding the shooter.

The archive identified another mass shooting that killed two people and injured three in Philadelphia on Sept. 5, where President Joe Biden gave a speech lambasting former President Donald Trump’s supporters as a “threat to democracy” a few days earlier.

Damning New Details Emerge in Ex-FBI Agent’s Role in Shutting Down Hunter Biden Laptop Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

The extraordinary alleged efforts of a former FBI agent to shut down a probe into Hunter Biden’s laptop were detailed Monday in a new report from the author of a best-selling book about the affair.

Timothy Thibault, who left the bureau last month under mysterious circumstances, spiked further questioning of former Biden pal-turned-whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, who had offered damning evidence about alleged Biden family corruption, just two weeks before the 2020 presidential election, according to New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, author of “Laptop From Hell.”

Bobulinski’s “evidence appears to have fallen into the same black hole at the FBI as Hunter’s laptop, never to be seen again,” Devine wrote in a column Monday.

The computer, which Hunter Biden abandoned at a Wilmington, Delaware, computer repair shop, is believed to have been in the possession of the FBI since late 2019, more than a year before the election. Photos, videos, emails, and text messages on the device, which were also ignored by legacy news outlets, paint the president’s son as a drug-addled, venal degenerate and raise troubling questions about President Joe Biden’s own role in his son’s corrupt dealings.

The Transgender Movement Isn’t Just Targeting Kids, It’s Targeting Families

/0 Comments/in , /by

Evidence continues to mount that a concerted effort is underway between major hospitals and public school systems to indoctrinate children with transgender ideology and push harmful, sometimes irreversible, medical procedures on minors — sometimes without the knowledge or consent of parents.

The point of the indoctrination, though, isn’t only to create more “gender-nonconforming” students. It’s to break down family structures and parental authority. The goal isn’t simply to teach and encourage transgenderism in our schools. It’s to lay claim to the students themselves, over and against their parents and families, for purposes that go far beyond the promotion of gender identity. After all, you can’t very well reshape society according to your utopian vision if something as solid as a family is standing in the way.

The solution is to break down the family. Most recently, Christopher Rufo reported this week that the largest children’s hospital in Chicago has partnered with local school districts to promote a radical transgender agenda, including sexually explicit materials that push “kink,” “BDSM,” and “trans-friendly” sex toys for children.

In his customary muckraking fashion, Rufo has obtained insider documents from Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago detailing a collaboration between transgender activists at the hospital and public school administrators throughout greater Chicago. The primary training document, a presentation titled “Beyond Binary: Gender in Schools,” encourages teachers and school administrators to promote “gender diversity” in their districts by affirming students who mistakenly believe they are members of the opposite sex, teaching a “non-binary understanding of gender” in classrooms, and aiming to disrupt “entrenched [gender] norms in western society” in hopes of creating a more “gender creative” world.

Stuart Scheller: Military Leadership Promotion Is Based on Pleasing Your Boss, Not Performance

/0 Comments/in , /by

Marine veteran Stuart Scheller, the lieutenant colonel who was fired and jailed after calling for accountability from military leaders for the Afghanistan withdrawal, said today’s military leaders are promoted based on pleasing their bosses, not performance.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Scheller discussed his new book Crisis of Command: How We Lost Trust and Confidence in America’s Generals and Politicians and what he learned about the military promotion system during his 17 years in the Marine Corps.

He said in the corporate world, where the bottom line is profit, failing leaders are replaced. But in the government, they have to be grown from inside the system and are promoted based on how much they please their bosses and not based on performance.

“What happens in all these government institutions is that you realize you have to impress your boss and if that boss has a focus that’s anything other than the foundational principles of the institution, then you learn through your career that you just have to please your boss. And what it does over time is it conditions people to not focus on the core values of the institution,” he said.
