Efforts To Sentence Trump In Sham NY Criminal Case Confirm Democrats’ Crazy Lawfare

/0 Comments/in , /by

The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts was pure lawfare.

On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan entered an 18-page order denying Trump’s motion to vacate the jury verdict and to dismiss the criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought against him with the help of several Biden-connected lawyers. Quoting the words President Biden used in pardoning Hunter for any crimes his son committed over a span of more than a decade, Trump’s legal team argued “enough is enough.” “This case, which should never have been brought, must now be dismissed.”

Of course, Trump’s legal team is correct: The case was a sham from the start. But Judge Merchan predictably denied Trump’s motion to dismiss, ignoring everything from his own conflicts-of-interests — he donated to the Biden campaign and his daughter held an ownership interest in a company which made millions representing Democrats, including Kamala Harris — to the DA’s improper use of evidence, both in the grand jury and at trial, concerning official acts Trump took while president, in violation of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.

After refusing to vacate the jury verdict or dismiss the case against Trump, Judge Merchan then pontificated on the need to sentence Trump before the inauguration.

Once the president-elect takes his Oath of Office, Merchan explained, presidential immunity will likely attach, preventing the court from sentencing Trump. So, “it is incumbent upon this Court to set this matter down for the imposition of sentence prior to January 20, 2025,” Judge Merchan reasoned, to, in his words, bring finality to the matter and to serve the interests of justice.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Orleans Parish Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting allegedly killed himself inside the district attorney’s office building Saturday night, according to WVUE.

Authorities found Kersting dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound around 9 p.m. Saturday in District Attorney Jason Williams’s staff offices, WVUE reported.

The 34-year-old was assigned to Orleans Parish’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), an outfit which works in conjunction with New Orleans Police Department detectives to investigate and prosecute sex crimes using DNA evidence, according to the outlet.

“The Orleans Parish DA’s Office family suffered a terrible tragedy Saturday night,” Williams’s office said in a statement obtained by the outlet. “Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting was a beloved member of our office, and we send our love and deepest condolences to his family,” the statement continued.

Merrick Garland Uses Cops Who Died By Stroke, Suicides To Rewrite J6 History

/0 Comments/in , /by

Not a single Capitol police officer was killed on January 6, 2021, yet Attorney General Merrick Garland’s dishonest statement about the protest released Monday may have people thinking otherwise.

“On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol. They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin,” Garland said. “Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.”

But not a single officer was killed by any January 6 defendants — which is perhaps why not a single defendant was charged with manslaughter or murder.

Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes on Jan. 7 after suffering two strokes, according to the Washington D.C. chief medical examiner. Members of the propaganda press, however, spent weeks telling America that Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher during the protest (I’m looking at you, New York Times). . .

Four other officers died by suicide within months of the protest — including two officers who were not present for the actual protest. Metropolitan Police Officer Kyle DeFreytag was not present for the actual protest, but later “helped enforce the curfew put in place after a mob of supporters” of then-President Donald Trump entered the Capitol Building, according to People Magazine. Officer Gunther Hashida also died by suicide after having not been present for the riot itself but responding to it.

Biden Mumbles Nonsense While Singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kid He Brought on Stage

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s fumble went viral across social media after another embarrassing gaffe while singing “Happy Birthday” to a White House guest.

During an event marking the signing of the Social Security Fairness Act on Sunday, Biden attempted to sing “Happy Birthday” to 17-year-old Eliseo Jimenez. Jimenez became nationally known after he walked from Lubbock, Texas, to Washington, D.C. in order to spread awareness about the limits of Social Security.

“Eliseo is just around the corner from receiving Social Security,” Biden joked before announcing that Jimenez’s birthday was the next day.

Less than a minute later, Biden appeared to either forget his name entirely or how to correctly say it while leading the audience in singing “Happy Birthday,” mumbling instead as the crowd sang, “…dear Eliseo.” The mumble was so pronounced that Jimenez reacted and laughed as if it were a joke.

This verbal error from Biden was the latest of many gaffes that have made Americans, particularly his critics, skeptical about his mental acuity and wary of his defenders.

Congress Certifies Donald Trump’s Election Victory

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, as snow blanketed Washington, D.C., and security forces patrolled the Capitol complex, Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s return to power, cementing his status as President-elect just weeks before his inauguration. The proceedings unfolded under unusual weather conditions— a rare heavy snowstorm that left the normally bustling Capitol largely deserted, with no crowds or protestors allowed near the premises due to tight security.

This session of Congress marked the final step in the constitutional process to validate the electoral results from each of the 50 states. Trump’s resounding victory of 312 electoral votes was confirmed, making his political comeback official. He continued preparations for his upcoming presidency from Mar-a-Lago, where he celebrated the milestone.

“CONGRESS CERTIFIES OUR GREAT ELECTION VICTORY TODAY — A BIG MOMENT IN HISTORY. MAGA!” Trump shared on Truth Social earlier that morning, expressing his enthusiasm for the momentous occasion.

In her ceremonial role, Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the proceedings. As Congress’s presiding officer, Harris’s function was purely ministerial, with no authority to influence the final outcome. The primary task was to announce the official certification of Trump’s victory alongside Vice President-elect JD Vance.

Biden Administration Releases 11 Yemeni Terrorists From Guantanamo Bay to Oman

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration released 11 Yemeni terrorists, who were captured after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, from Guantanamo Bay.

While the men had been “approved for transfer by national security officials” more than two years ago, they were approved to be transferred to Oman on Monday, according to NPR News.

Oman reportedly “agreed to help resettle them and provide security monitoring” for the 11 prisoners, who are described as being “former al-Qaeda members,” according to records from the U.S. Department of Defense.

The outlet noted that the transfers of the prisoners were “originally scheduled to happen in October 2023,” but were paused “due to concerns” regarding the “instability in the Middle East” in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

That the plan was resurrected during President Biden’s final two weeks in office signals a last-ditch effort by his administration to shrink Guantanamo’s prisoner population and get closer to his goal of trying to close the facility. In recent weeks, the U.S. has transferred four other Guantanamo inmates — a Kenyan, a Tunisian and two Malaysians — and is preparing for the transfer of at least one more, an Iraqi.

Could This Unexpected Trend Spark a Nationwide Spiritual Revival?

/0 Comments/in , /by

New Year’s often inspires plans for enhancing our lives, and a recent trend could spark a nationwide revival.

America saw a Bible boom last year — the hope and good news of Scripture reaching millions of new eyes. Bible sales increased 22% in 2024 over 2023, led by shoppers purchasing copies as first-time readers. Bible sales rose to 14.2 million in 2023 from 9.7 million in 2019, according to data reported by Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg at the Wall Street Journal, and hit 13.7 million in the first 10 months of 2024.

An interesting point is that sales of all books — including secular ones — were up less than 1%. That means there’s an undeniable spike in demand for the Good Book.

What does all this mean? Christians like me are rejoicing at this opportunity for more people to know God’s love. As a recovered agnostic, baptized as an adult seven years ago on December 3, my desire is to encourage new believers or curious seekers exploring faith.

For some new Bible readers, it may seem foreign and uncomfortable to embark on this journey, especially if they experienced or witnessed religious trauma and abuse. I certainly did, which is part of why returning to Bible reading was hard for me at first. (Read more from “Could This Unexpected Trend Spark a Nationwide Spiritual Revival?” HERE)

Liz Cheney Should Be Criminally Investigated For Her Corruption, Not Rewarded

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden rewarded disgraced ex-Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney with one of the nation’s highest civilian honors on Thursday for her work undermining democracy through the illegally established and since-disbanded Jan. 6 Select Committee.

After sources close to Biden recently told The Washington Post he regretted that the Justice Department (DOJ) did not move more aggressively to jail top political opponents, Biden awarded Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal. He also gave the medal to Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the House probe. The Presidential Citizens Medal is second only to the Presidential Medal of Freedom in prestige.

Fox News contributor Guy Benson reminded followers on X that Thompson, the long-time Mississippi lawmaker, “refused to certify George W. Bush’s 2004 victory in Ohio.”

According to Newsweek, Democrats also objected to more states in the 2016 election than Republicans did in 2020, but none faced criminal charges. Democrats on the Jan. 6 panel, however, referred Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution and successfully incarcerated former Trump advisers Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for their refusal to comply with requests from the partisan probe.

House Republicans who ran their own investigation into the Capitol riot and the ensuing cover-up for then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to deploy the National Guard issued an additional criminal referral from the Jan. 6 saga last month. The House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, led by Georgia Republican Barry Loudermilk, recommended that Cheney face a criminal probe from DOJ investigators for “witness tampering.” (Read more from “Liz Cheney Should Be Criminally Investigated For Her Corruption, Not Rewarded” HERE)

LGBTQ Liberals Start Arming Themselves Over Baseless Fear of Being Placed in ‘Concentration Camps:’ Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Gay and transgender liberals around the country are arming themselves over perceived concerns they’ll be rounded up and placed in “concentration camps” under a second Trump administration, according to a report.

The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday profiled several members of the emerging gun-toting left, who belong to groups with names like the Liberal Gun Club, the Socialist Rifle Association and Pink Pistols.

Although precise figures regarding LGBTQ gun ownership are tough to ascertain given the small cohort, the Liberal Gun Club told the outlet that it’s received “thousands” of firearms training requests since the election — more than in all of 2023 combined — and that about a quarter of them were from those in the LGBTQ community.

“Three months before the election, that’s when the alarm bells started to ring,” said a 24-year-old trans woman who recently decided to purchase a gun, identified by the outlet only as “A.”

“Minorities that are armed are more difficult to legally oppress,” she said, expressing relief that she’d be ready to fight back “in the event of hate crimes or terrorist attacks.” (Read more from “LGBTQ Liberals Start Arming Themselves Over Baseless Fear of Being Placed in ‘Concentration Camps:’ Report” HERE)

Senate Democrats Unexpectedly Open to Confirming RFK Jr.

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a surprising turn of events, Senate Democrats have signaled an unexpected openness to confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a key position in the incoming Trump Administration despite his controversial stance on vaccines and other issues the left is against. Known for his outspoken views and challenges to the establishment, RFK Jr. has recently been a divisive figure within his own party. However, some Democrats now reconsidering their opposition to their willingness to confirm Kennedy, significantly shifting the Democratic Party’s approach to fringe candidates.

As reported by The Hill, Democrats are signaling their cooperation to allow Kennedy to become the next secretary of Health and Human Services under the new Trump Administration. The outlet noted that prominent left-wing voices such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) are at least considering voting for Kennedy. They cite shared concerns about the growing influence of corporate interests in food production and a desire to promote a country with fewer chemicals in its products. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is also among the Democrats that would back Kennedy.

“I think Bernie will give him a fair review,” a source close to the senator said. “I definitely think his Senate office will use the opportunity to point out the shortcomings of the industrial food system, supply chains, etc. I think they’ve been doing a little of that already.”

Lawmakers are notoriously tight-lipped about their votes ahead of many Cabinet fights. The optics of backing any nominee by Trump put most Democrats in a tricky position. And Kennedy in particular makes things more complicated. Democrats spent a good portion of the election last year trying to avoid the Independent candidate after he changed parties. Those who didn’t ignore him outright tried to stop him from gaining popularity with voters, concerned that any type of third-party support could spell trouble for them in the general election.
