Judge Postpones Trump’s New York Sentencing to September 18

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge postponed Tuesday Donald Trump’s sentencing for covering up hush money payments until September 18, the first fallout of a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, pushing it to after the Republican convention.

The United States’ top court ruled Monday that Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution as a former president, a decision also set to delay his trial for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.

Hours after the ruling was announced, Trump’s legal team said in a letter to the New York court that the immunity ruling vindicated Trump’s position that he should not be judged for his “official acts,” and reiterated his call for the conviction to be set aside.

The sentencing had been scheduled for July 11, days before the Republican National Convention on July 15 at which Trump is expected to be proclaimed the party’s nominee for the battle against President Joe Biden for the White House.

“The matter is adjourned to September 18, 2024, at 10 am for the imposition of sentence, if such is still necessary,” Judge Juan Merchan said in a court filing to allow time for consideration of the bombshell Supreme Court ruling.

Tucker Carlson Reacts to Trump vs. Biden Debate, Exposes Media Cover-Up of Biden’s Dementia

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Renowned conservative commentator Tucker Carlson didn’t hold back in his scathing critique of the mainstream media and President Joe Biden during a packed event at Sydney’s International Convention Centre. Speaking to a crowd of 4,000 enthusiastic fans, Carlson boldly claimed that the media has been concealing the truth about President Biden’s cognitive decline.

Carlson accused the mainstream media, particularly CNN, of knowingly hiding Biden’s dementia from the public. “Democratic operatives posing as journalists” were his choice words for the reporters who, according to him, have been complicit in this cover-up. He lambasted their feigned shock at Biden’s recent debate performance, which many critics have called a clear display of his cognitive struggles.

“But for the media today to be like, wow, we just got the diagnosis, this is shocking, he can’t run for president,” Carlson said on Friday, highlighting the disingenuous nature of their surprise. He asserted that either the media is “really stupid … or they’re liars, they’re truly dishonest, they’re hiding the obvious from you.”

Carlson’s comments resonate with a growing sentiment among conservatives and independent observers who have long questioned Biden’s fitness for office. His debate performance has intensified these concerns, leading many to believe that the media has been deliberately shielding the public from the truth.

Family Sues Hospital for Refusing to Kill Girl

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The family of a woman who was denied assisted death at a Catholic hospital in Canada is now suing the hospital for refusing to kill their daughter.

According to CTV News, 34-year-old Sam O’Neill sought Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in 2023 after a cervical cancer diagnosis left her in excruciating pain. O’Neill received palliative care at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, but was told that the hospital would not offer MAiD because it was a Catholic-run facility; the Catholic Church opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide. O’Neill was later transferred to a Vancouver hospice facility, where she received a MAiD death, though at that point she was sedated and did not wake to say goodbye to her family.

The lawsuit claims that because the Catholic hospital abided by its beliefs in the dignity of human life, it denied O’Neill a “dignified death.”

“Although Ms. O’Neill was ultimately provided with access to MAID, the circumstances surrounding the forced transfer and Ms. O’Neill’s access to MAID caused and exacerbated Ms. O’Neill’s egregious physical and psychological suffering, and denied her a dignified death, including the ability to say goodbye to her family and loved ones,” the lawsuit reads.

O’Neill’s parents, Jim and Gaye O’Neill, say the lawsuit is meant to challenge religious exemption laws and to stop the forced transfer of patients from facilities that refuse to commit euthanasia. (Read more from “Family Sues Hospital for Refusing to Kill Girl” HERE)

Wild Video Shows Chaos Unfold After Dem City Pride Parade

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Wild footage posted online following New York City’s Pride parade Sunday afternoon shows chaos unfolding at a park, as one woman was seen being dragged and beaten by others.

Footage taken by Oliya Scootercaster was posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) showing the chaotic moments of multiple brawls after New York’s annual Pride parade. A massive group of people could be seen at Washington Square Park with two women being punched by the fountain.

The clip opens up as one woman in all black could be seen being punched by another, as well as a second woman in pink being punched and dragged by her hair by another group of women. People in the crowd could be heard screaming as the attack unfolded, with others pulling out their phones to record the incident.

“Back up, back up!” someone could be heard yelling as the woman in pink got up from the ground.

Moments later a second clip shows someone dancing on top of one of the park’s lampposts while surrounded by viewers who recorded and appeared to encourage the activity. While it is unclear what started the fight between the women, Scootercaster later posted that arrests were allegedly being made by authorities.

Steve Bannon Begins Prison Term, Here’s What His Life Will Look Like

/1 Comment/in , , /by

. . .Steve Bannon will join hundreds of political prisoners who have been wrongfully incarcerated during the Biden administration when he turns himself into the Federal Correctional Institution Danbury, a low-security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.

Some suspect the former White House chief strategist will be housed in protective custody of the Sentencing Handling Unit, or SHU, of the Danbury prison as have been other high-profile celebrity inmates.

But FCI Danbury, which houses over 1,000 inmates, most of whom are sex offenders, doesn’t have individual cells. Instead, inmates are housed in open pods.

A Jan. 6 political prisoner, who has been transferred to 26 correctional facilities while in pretrial detention, described what life will look like for Bannon behind the gates of the Connecticut prison.

“If Bannon were to be sent to a U.S. penitentiary, he would be killed, but the low security prison in Danbury is where most prisoners would prefer to do their time,” political prisoner Ryan Samsel told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview on a surveilled call from MDC Brooklyn, a prison where inmates are regularly stabbed to death.

Biden’s Family Has Rendered Their Decision About Joe’s 2024 Prospects

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Not that I was expecting Joe Biden to drop out, but the chatter was becoming deafening among liberal circles. Still, the campaign is in a state of chaos over the president’s disastrous debate, sending unhinged fundraising emails that will indeed create more headaches among Democrats. The day’s message is that Biden is the nominee, and you can do nothing about it. Also, share these trite and laughably false talking points to keep Joe alive politically in 2024.

After Biden’s catastrophic debate against Trump, the president met with his family at Camp David to discuss the way forward. Joe is staying, but one family member was quite adamant that the president does not kowtow to outside pressure and drop out. And this individual wasn’t Jill (via NYT):

President Biden’s family is urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite last week’s disastrous debate performance, even as some members of his clan privately expressed exasperation at how he was prepared for the event by his staff, people close to the situation said on Sunday.

Mr. Biden huddled with his wife, children and grandchildren at Camp David while he tried to figure out how to tamp down Democratic anxiety. While his relatives are acutely aware of how poorly he did against former President Donald J. Trump, they argued that he could still show the country that he is capable of serving for another four years.

Mr. Biden has also been soliciting ideas from advisers about how to proceed, and his staff has been discussing whether he should hold a news conference or sit for interviews to defend himself and change the narrative, but nothing has been decided yet. Aides were burning phone lines over the weekend to prevent major elected officials and financial supporters from abandoning him.

One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.

Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .During a fundraiser in New Jersey on Saturday, Biden claimed that he won over more undecided voters than former President Donald Trump post his disastrous debate performance.

Biden insisted that the malfunctions he suffered during the 90-minute gaffe-filled debate actually impressed undecided voters rather than deter them from voting for him. . .

“Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of his conduct on Jan. 6,” Biden told the crowd. “People remember the bad things during his presidency.”

The 81-year-old’s bad debate night prompted the country, including Democrats, to call on Biden to drop out of the race, citing his old age and mental acuity.

First Lady Jill Biden also tried to fool the crowd into thinking her husband was having just one bad night despite him having countless public malfunctions in the past. (Read more from “Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?” HERE)

It Took a War for NATO Members to Actually Take Their Obligations Seriously With Biden at the Helm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Despite President Joe Biden’s claims that he helped strengthen NATO, a transatlantic alliance critically reliant on the U.S., it wasn’t until a war broke out in Eastern Europe that alliance members started taking its defense spending commitments seriously.

Biden has boasted on numerous occasions that he made NATO more powerful than former President Donald Trump did, helping to expand the alliance and restore its reputation on the global stage. But NATO members were spending less on defense under Biden until the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, prompting the alliance to finally increase spending, according to official alliance documents.

Biden claimed during a debate against former President Donald Trump on Thursday that NATO was “strong” under his administration and bragged about how he got “50 other nations around the world to support Ukraine,” warning that Trump would pull out of the alliance if reelected.

His comments echo remarks made weeks and months earlier, in which he claimed his administration was responsible for NATO’s success.

“Trump wants to eviscerate NATO. He thinks NATO is useless,” Biden told Time in an interview in June. “NATO is considerably stronger than it was when I took office. I put it together. Not only did I reestablish the fact that it was the strongest alliance in the history of the world, I was able to expand it.” (Read more from “It Took a War for NATO Members to Actually Take Their Obligations Seriously With Biden at the Helm” HERE)

Supreme Court Jan. 6 Ruling Downgraded ‘Insurrection’ to Mere Trespassing

/1 Comment/in , /by

Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley opined at the Hill saying that Friday’s Supreme Court decision holding that the most severe law cited in January 6 prosecutions does not apply to riots or protests effectively means that the oft-repeated accusations of “insurrection” have been downgraded to mere trespassing.

As Breitbart News reported this past Friday, the Supreme Court decided in Fischer vs. U.S. that the “Department of Justice had taken too broad a view of [18 U.S.C.] 1512(c)(2), a law that prohibits destruction of evidence but was not intended for protests.”

It should be noted that there is a federal insurrection statute, found at 18 U.S.C. 2383, but few if any January 6 rioters were ever charged with that. Instead, the most serious charge they were hit with was under Section 1512(c)(2), which is about obstructing an official proceeding by destroying or hiding documents meant for use in that proceeding.

“Unless the defendants could be shown to have interfered with the delivery of documents to Congress, they could not be prosecuted under the statute — as hundreds of people, including former President Donald Trump, have been,” noted the report.

Most strikingly, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — a liberal judge appointed by President Joe Biden — sided with the conservatives, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett, appointed by former President Donald Trump, sided with the liberals.

WATCH: Chinese Rocket Crashes Into Mountain After Accidental Launch

/0 Comments/in , /by

A rocket belonging to a Chinese civilian aerospace manufacturer crashed into a mountain after accidentally launching Sunday, the company announced.

Space Pioneer, also known as Beijing Tianbing Technology, was attempting a ground test with their Tianlong-3 rocket when a “structural failure” caused it to separate from the launch pad, a statement obtained by CNN said.

“Due to the structural failure of the connection between the rocket body and the test platform, the first-stage rocket was separated from the launch pad,” the company stated.

“After liftoff, the onboard computer was automatically shut down, and the rocket fell into the deep mountains 1.5 kilometers [0.9 miles] southwest of the test platform. The rocket body fell into the mountain and disintegrated.”

Videos shared on social media by onlookers shows the moment the rocket was launched before falling and causing a fiery explosion:
