Donald Trump Explodes on Witness Stand, Calling AG a ‘Hack,’ Accusing Judge of Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Former President Donald Trump exploded at his Manhattan civil fraud trial Monday minutes after making a zipped-lips gesture to reporters — and accused the judge who has branded him a fraudster of mounting a “fraud” himself.

“He called me a fraud and he didn’t know anything about me!” the 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner yelled — pointing at Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron.

“The fraud is on the court, not on me.”

Trump’s tirade came at around noon — midway through his about four hours of testimony in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ $250 million lawsuit accusing him of inflating his wealth by billions per year to save money on loan and insurance terms.

“She’s a political hack,” Trump shouted of James, who was sitting calmly in the first row of the gallery. (Read more from “Donald Trump Explodes on Witness Stand, Calling AG a ‘Hack,’ Accusing Judge of Fraud” HERE)

New Emails Show DHS Created Stanford ‘Disinfo’ Group That Censored Speech Before 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

New emails show officials at the Department of Homeland Security created a Stanford University “disinformation” group that censored Americans’ speech before the 2020 election, according to a House Judiciary Committee report exclusively obtained by The Post.

The House panel’s 103-page staff interim report says never-before-seen emails and internal communications were obtained from the group, known as the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), and show how it worked with DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to flag, suppress and remove online speech in coordination with big tech companies.

One of EIP’s founding partners — the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab — described CISA’s central role in the alleged censorship effort in a July 31, 2020, email.

“I know the Council has a number of efforts on broad policy around the elections, but we just set up an election integrity partnership at the request of DHS/CISA and are in weekly comms to debrief about disinfo,” the lab’s senior director Graham Brookie wrote.

The staff report says, “[T]he federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions. (Read more from “New Emails Show DHS Created Stanford ‘Disinfo’ Group That Censored Speech Before 2020 Election” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Jewish man from Los Angeles was confirmed dead Monday after he was allegedly struck in the head by a megaphone wielded by pro-Palestinian protester at an anti-Israel rally.

The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, the umbrella body of Jewish philanthropy in the area, confirmed the death in a statement Monday, saying it was the “fourth major antisemitic crime committed in Los Angeles this year alone.”

Local news channel KTLA reported:

A 65-year-old Jewish man has died after an altercation at a pro-Palestinian rally in Thousand Oaks, Jewish community leaders announced on Monday.

The incident unfolded around 3:15 p.m. near the busy intersection of Thousand Oaks Boulevard and Westlake Road where, according to fire officials, authorities first received a call of a “fight in progress” with an elderly man “down.”

…

A video posted to social media shows the man lying on the ground with an obvious head injury as two people, including a pro-Palestinian demonstrator, try to help

Hamas Leaders Rake in Billions as They Condemn Palestinians to War in Gaza

/0 Comments/in , /by

The leaders of the Palestinian terrorist group known as Hamas have become multi-billionaires over the past two decades, as they launch wars in Gaza from a safe distance in Qatar and Turkey, and condemn their own people to poverty and misery.

According to the Israeli embassy to the U.S., the leaders of Hamas — an acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement — “line their pockets” with money while Gazans depend on international assistance, and must suffer Hamas’s period wars against Israel.

While enjoying their wealth in comfortable exile, Hamas sends terrorists to launch rockets against Israel — or, as on October 7, to embark on missions to kill or kidnap as many Israelis as possible. Hamas officials know they will be safe from the fighting.

The Times of Israel noted last month:

Senior Hamas figures, including [leader Ismail] Haniyeh, would levy a 20 percent tax on all of the trade passing through the tunnels, according to a 2014 report in Ynet, an Israeli news site.

…

[Haniyeh’s] lavish [real estate] holdings contrast sharply with endemic poverty in the Gaza Strip, where some half of the population is unemployed, and per capita GDP was around $5,600 annually in 2021, making it one of the poorest places in the world.

…

On December 30, 2022, the Saudi news website Elaph … claimed that Maaz, and other sons of the Haniyeh family, drink alcohol abroad and spend time with women other than their wives in luxury nightclubs. Elaph also reported that Haniyeh’s children own generators, and sell electricity, a rare commodity in an area under constant power shortages, while they themselves get it for free.

Trump Lawyer: Angry Judge Was ‘Unhinged’ in Courtroom, ‘Slamming a Table’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alina Habba, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump in his New York civil case, ripped Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron as “unhinged” and said he slammed a table in court on Monday during Trump’s testimony.

Habba contended to reporters during a lunch break that Engoron “has already predetermined that my client committed fraud before we even walked into this courtroom” before quoting the justice’s remarks from earlier in the day when he was unsatisfied with Trump’s answers on the witness stand. She also took a shot at New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the case against Trump and his two eldest sons.

“‘I’m not here to hear what he has to say,’” she quoted Engoron as saying.

“Then why exactly am I being paid as an attorney, and why exactly are taxpayer dollars being used in this courtroom?” she said to reporters.

“The answer is very clear: because Miss James wants to stand right here like she did this morning and call my client a liar, call the company fraudulent and make a name for herself,” Habba added from the courthouse steps.

We Have Another Act of Reported Terrorism Committed by a Radical Palestinian

/0 Comments/in , /by

Indiana might have had a case of domestic terrorism over the weekend. Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, admits she crashed her vehicle into what she thought was a “Jewish school” in Indianapolis. The attack occurred on the night of November 3. She confessed to the crime while referencing her people in Palestine. This is the second act of reported terrorism that’s been either committed or planned by radical Palestinians on American soil.

In Houston, police arrested Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, on October 19 for plotting to attack the local Jewish community. Authorities only had evidence of illegal firearm ownership by Abuayyash, who is here on a non-immigrant visa. Still, the threat seemed too credible to ignore, and federal agents moved and arrested him before he could carry out his plan. He had also been researching how to make homemade explosives. (via Fox News):

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) says a woman is in custody after allegedly driving her car into a building she thought was a Jewish school over the weekend.

According to a police report, officers were called to the building around 11:30 p.m. Friday to investigate a possible hate crime.

Upon arrival, officers say they found Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, who had backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside. Police labeled Almaghtheh a “terrorist” according to Fox 59.

Officers say Almaghtheh told them she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television, and was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the outside building – so she decided to attack the building.

Almaghtheh also told police she crashed into the building on purpose and also talked about “her people back home in Palestine.”

Donald Trump Pulls Out Paper During Testimony at NYC Civil Fraud Trial, Says It’ll Clear His Name

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Donald Trump randomly pulled a piece of paper out of his suit jacket during testimony in Manhattan court Monday — claiming it would completely clear his name in the $250 million civil fraud case against him and asking to show it to the judge.

The former president, 77, was apparently requesting to show both the judge and a prosecutor a disclaimer clause from a financial statement that New York Attorney General Letitia James has accused him of lying on in her lawsuit.

As he testified at trial in the suit, Trump held the document up and asked if the judge would “like to have it.”

Later, the real estate tycoon said: “I would love to read this, Your Honor, if I could?”

“Not at this point, not at this point,” replied Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron — who is deciding the non-jury case that threatens Trump’s New York real estate empire.

Major U.S. City Literally Paying for Migrants To Leave, but Many Refuse To Go

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York City is trying to expel migrants by offering them plane tickets to leave for other states, or places outside of the country, but many of them don’t want to leave, according to dozens of migrants the Daily Caller News Foundation interviewed.

Migrants entering the reticketing center, which the city recently established to help migrants leave the area, told the DCNF that they don’t want to go elsewhere because they came to New York City for the resources it provides as a sanctuary city. The reticketing center is located in the since-closed St. Brigid School in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where migrants can get a free, one-way ticket to the location of their choice provided by the city government.

“Visit the center where you can be provided with a ticket to travel anywhere,” a city flyer that was distributed to migrants and shown to the DCNF read.

Susej, a Venezuelan migrant, told the DCNF that he does not plan to leave the city despite the possibility of soon facing eviction. He is currently staying in a hostel until Nov. 12, but may “have to sleep on the street” if he cannot find another shelter, he said. . .

A second migrant from Venezuela has been sleeping on the subway because he was told there was no shelter for him, but he still wants to stay in the city, he told the DCNF. Others were being turned away at the reticketing center due to lack of shelter, as well. (Read more from “Major U.S. City Literally Paying for Migrants To Leave, but Many Refuse To Go” HERE)

Female Student Athlete Seriously Injured in Field Hockey Game Involving Male Player: Reports

/0 Comments/in , /by

A female student-athlete reportedly had two of her teeth knocked out during a high school field hockey game last week after a shot struck by an opposing male player deflected off a teammate’s stick and caused the facial injury.

According to reports, the incident happened during the first round of the field hockey state playoffs between two Massachusetts high schools — Dighton-Rehoboth and Swampscott — on Thursday.

Dighton-Rehoboth Superintendent Bill Runey wrote a letter to families reported by local media, saying a male athlete on the Swampscott girls’ field hockey team took a shot that left “significant facial and dental injuries” to one of the team’s female athletes, which required hospitalization.

“When I stepped onto that bus last night when our girls got back to Regional Road, what I saw on their eyes was trauma,” Runey told a local NBC News channel. (Read more from “Female Student Athlete Seriously Injured in Field Hockey Game Involving Male Player: Reports” HERE)
