Supreme Court Rejects Former New Mexico Official Banned After Jan. 6 Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday tossed an appeal by a former New Mexico state official barred from office after he was involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol Building.

Former Otero County commissioner Couy Griffin, a cowboy pastor whose claim to fame was endorsing former President Donald Trump with several horseback caravans, is a former Otero County commissioner and the only elected official barred from office under the “insurrection” provision of the 14th Amendment, the Associated Press reported.

During a 2022 trial in a state district court, Griffin became the first individual in over a century to be disqualified from office under a provision of the 14th Amendment aimed at preventing former Confederates from holding government positions after the Civil War.

Despite the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that states cannot prevent Trump or other federal office candidates from appearing on the ballot, the justices clarified that distinct rules apply to state and local candidates, the AP report noted.

“We conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the justices wrote in an opinion that was not signed. (Read more from “Supreme Court Rejects Former New Mexico Official Banned After Jan. 6 Riot” HERE)

Adrian Bean, a witness for Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis’s office in a trial of a rapper, admitted in court Tuesday that he was “so high” and “about to go to sleep,” Newsweek reported.

Bean was allegedly the getaway driver for the rapper Jeffrey Williams, whose stage name is Young Thug, and other defendants in an armed robbery, a shooting and a car chase in September 2013, the outlet noted.

Willis’s office indicted Williams in May 2022 on RICO charges and alleged that the rapper was an important affiliate of Young Slime Life (YSL), an Atlanta street gang with ties to the Bloods, the outlet reported.

A video clip by the Law & Crime Network captured the hilarious moment in Bean’s testimony.

State Official Faces Lawsuit From GOP Over ‘Impossibly High’ Voter Registration

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The Republican National Committee (RNC) slapped Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguliar with a lawsuit on Friday, alleging that the state has “impossibly high” voter registration rolls.

The lawsuit alleges that the state of Nevada is failing to maintain the requirements of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) which mandates that voter rolls must keep “clean and accurate voter registration records.” The RNC is alleging that according to their analysis, five of Nevada’s 17 counties have inflated voter rolls which they say indicates a violation of the NVRA, the lawsuit claims.

“Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that’s why the National Voter Registration Act requires state officials to keep their rolls accurate and up-to-date,” RNC Co-Chair Michael Whatley wrote in a Monday press release. “Nevada has universal mail voting and no voter ID requirement, which makes Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s failure to comply with the NVRA and provide accurate voter rolls all the more concerning. Securing clean voter rolls in Nevada is a critical step towards ensuring that it will be easy to vote and hard to cheat.”

“At least three Nevada counties have more registered voters than they have adult citizens who are over the age of 18,” the lawsuit alleges. “That number of voters is impossibly high.” (Read more from “State Official Faces Lawsuit From GOP Over ‘Impossibly High’ Voter Registration” HERE)

‘They’ve Come for Me, They Can Come for You’: Peter Navarro Blasts Biden’s DOJ for ‘Chilling Effect’ on Americans

/1 Comment/in , /by

Holding a press conference in Miami before reporting to prison, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro said the justice system in the US will “have done a crippling blow to the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege.”

Navarro also criticized the “emergence of lawfare and the partisan weaponization of our justice system, which we have seen done to this country with a vengeance since the coming of Donald John Trump as president.”

“I am the first senior White House advisor in the history of our republic that has ever been charged with this alleged crime,” Navarro said. Navarro was sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress for not complying with the subpoena due to executive privilege.

“When I received that congressional subpoena…I had an honest belief that the privilege had been invoked,” he told US District Judge Amit Mehta in the January sentencing hearing.

“I say alleged because for hundreds of years this has not been a crime. And for 50 years, the Department of Justice has maintained the principle of absolute testimony immunity, and it was only with my case that somehow that has changed.”

Senator Sounds Alarm Over ‘Clear and Present Danger’ to U.S. That Biden Caused

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) highlighted an explosive story this week about an illegal alien who was apprehended at the U.S. southern border this month who admitted to being a member of one of the world’s largest Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO).

U.S. border officials arrested 22-year-old Lebanese national Basel Bassel Ebbadi on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. He told agents he was a member of the Hezbollah terrorist group and that he was planning to make a bomb in the United States.

“That is what happens when Joe Biden and the Democrats open up our southern border,” Cruz said during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson. “And it is inviting the inevitable, which is what just happened. Hezbollah terrorists crossing our border with the intention of carrying out acts of terror in the United States.”

Cruz then spoke about the explosion in the number of individuals who have been apprehended on the southern border who are on the terrorist watchlist.

Biden Jokes About Trump’s Insane NY Fine

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s jest at the Gridiron Dinner over former President Donald Trump’s financial struggles amidst a legal battle has sparked controversy.

At the prestigious Gridiron Dinner, an event known for its mix of humor and political commentary, Biden quipped about Trump’s challenges in paying nearly half a billion dollars in fines resulting from a civil fraud judgment in New York. The comment drew laughter and applause from the audience:

Our big plan to cancel student debt doesn’t apply to everyone. Just yesterday, a defeated-looking man came up to me and said, “I’m being crushed by debt. I’m completely wiped out.” I said, “Sorry, Donald, I can’t help you.” (Laughter and applause.)

The legal saga stems from a controversial civil fraud lawsuit filed against Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump stands accused of inflating his net worth, facing an unprecedented case under a New York law that does not require proof of intent. The lawsuit, which resulted in a summary judgment against Trump, has left the former president with a $464 million judgment, including interest.

While Trump secured financing for a bond in a separate case involving writer E. Jean Carroll’s allegations of sexual assault and defamation, he has struggled to find insurance companies willing to underwrite the massive bond required in the fraud case.

Biden’s joke was ill-timed and insensitive, especially considering the serious implications of Trump’s legal challenges.

Despite the legal setbacks, Trump remains defiant, vowing to fight the judgment and clear his name. However, the prospect of selling a significant portion of his real estate portfolio could have broader implications for the commercial real estate market in New York City.

Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with GB News host Nigel Farage that if he is reelected, the United States will stay in NATO if other nations pay their “fair share.”

Farage said, “You said this back in 2017 and 18 when you were president, you visited Brussels, and you commented that the Russians can do whatever they want if these countries don’t pay. You said it again recently. That’s now being used.”

Trump said, “They can use it, I don’t care if they use it. Because what I’m saying is a form of negotiation. Why should we guard these countries that have a lot of money, and the United States was paying for most of NATO? When I went there, I had already had it out with them. They then stopped paying again. But now they’re paying because of those comments that you saw two, three weeks ago. I don’t know if you know, but a lot of money’s come in since those comments were made.”

He continued, “NATO was not paying. I went to the first meeting early in my administration, and I saw what was going on, and I said, ‘You’re going to have to pay your bills, everybody.’ Then, at the second meeting, I hit them hard. The question was then asked by the head of a major country in front of everyone else: ‘So if we don’t pay our bills, are you going to protect us from Russia?’ I said, ‘You mean you’re delinquent? You’re not paying the bills? Then no, I’m not going to pay you. We’re not going to do it. We’re not going to defend you if you’re not paying your bills.’ It’s very simple. And hundreds of billions of dollars came flowing in.” (Read more from “Trump: U.S. Will ‘100%’ Stay in NATO if Other Nations Pay Their ‘Fair Share’” HERE)

Supreme Court Lifts Stay on Texas Law That Gives Police Powers to Arrest Illegals at Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

A divided Supreme Court has lifted a stay on a Texas law that gives police broad powers to arrest [illegal aliens] suspected of crossing the border illegally while a legal battle over immigration authority plays out.

The Biden administration is suing to strike down the measure, arguing it’s a clear violation of federal authority that would hurt international relations and create chaos in administering immigration law. A judge could then order them to leave the U.S.

Texas has argued it has a right to take action over what Gov. Greg Abbott has described as an “invasion” of migrants on the border. (Read more from “Supreme Court Lifts Stay on Texas Law That Gives Police Powers to Arrest Illegals at Border” HERE)

Bar Exam Will No Longer Be Required to Become an Attorney in this State Because it’s Racist

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The bar exam will no longer be required to become a lawyer in Washington, the state Supreme Court ruled in a pair of orders Friday.

The court approved alternative ways to show competency and earn a law license after appointing a task force to examine the issue in 2020.

The Bar Licensure Task Force found that the traditional exam “disproportionally and unnecessarily blocks” marginalized groups from becoming practicing attorneys and is “at best minimally effective” for ensuring competency, according to a news release from the Washington Administrative Office of the Courts.

Washington is the second state to not require the bar exam, following Oregon, which implemented the change at the start of this year. Other states, including Minnesota, Nevada, South Dakota and Utah, are examining alternative pathways to licensure.

“These recommendations come from a diverse body of lawyers in private and public practice, academics, and researchers who contributed immense insight, counterpoints and research to get us where we are today,” Washington Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis, who chaired the task force, said in a statement. “With these alternative pathways, we recognize that there are multiple ways to ensure a competent, licensed body of new attorneys who are so desperately needed around the state.” (Read more from “Bar Exam Will No Longer Be Required to Become an Attorney in this State Because it’s Racist” HERE)
