Pressure Builds on DOJ to Answer if ‘Collusion’ Marred Trump Hush Money Case

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pressure is building on the Biden administration to put up records that may “indicate collusion” between the Justice Department and state prosecutors in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan, with several Republicans at various levels of government seeking documents, including through a new investigation launched by West Virginia on Monday.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Trump ally, submitted a Freedom of Information Act request on Monday to the DOJ asking it to produce documents concerning an ex-DOJ employee’s transition to employment by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which is prosecuting Trump in the 34-count hush money case.

“We need to get to the bottom of this political prosecution of a former president who is on track to defeat the incumbent in November,” Morrisey said in a statement to the Washington Examiner, referring to the other three indictments Trump faces as he seeks another run for the presidency.

Morrisey said he believes the alleged collusion is demonstrated in part by the move of the third-highest ranking DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to the district attorney’s office to help prosecute the criminal case, New York v. Trump, according to a letter he penned to Attorney General Merrick Garland. The West Virginia attorney general also noted Colangelo was “paid thousands of dollars by the Democratic National Committee.”

“The timing on these cases is suspect, to say the least — the integrity of our country’s election process is at stake,” Morrisey said. His new FOIA request falls on the same day the Trump hush money trial entered its 16th day of witness testimony, featuring testimony from star witness Michael Cohen.

Army Officer Resigns Over Continued U.S. Support for Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Army officer assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency has resigned in protest over the United States’s continued military support for Israel.

Maj. Harrison Mann said he resigned from the DIA over the “nearly unqualified [U.S.] support” for Israel, “which has enabled and empowered the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians [in Gaza].”

“The past months have presented us with the most horrific and heartbreaking images imaginable — sometimes playing on the news in our own space — and I have been unable to ignore the connection between those images and my duties here,” he said in a slightly edited version of his resignation letter, which he posted on LinkedIn. “This caused me incredible shame and guilt.”

Mann referenced his European Jewish ancestry, noting he was “haunted” by what he believed was his failure to live up to the “unforgiving moral environment when it came to the topic of bearing responsibility for ethnic cleansing.”

A DIA official confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Mann was previously assigned to the agency and noted that “employees resign their positions for any number of reasons and motivations.” (Read more from “Army Officer Resigns Over Continued U.S. Support for Israel” HERE)

Well, RFK Jr. Just Found a Radical New Way to Wipe Himself off the Map in Texas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

RFK Jr. is on a mission to shift as far left as humanly possible in record time. It’s a rather shocking sight for many, especially the Never-Trump Republicans, who once saw him as a viable alternative to Trump. Boy, were they wrong. While RFK has had some really commendable views on vaccines and has criticized the financial dealings in Ukraine, he still remains a Kennedy at heart—a detail many overlooked or let slide during the COVID jab debates. Lately, however, he’s been on a roll, dropping one radical bomb after another. From pushing for children to lob off their body parts to pushing a “Green New Deal” on steroids, RFK Jr. is checking all the progressive boxes. In fact, his latest move is so extreme that it might just erase his chances in Texas entirely.

Yep, if you think Biden’s a climate nut, buckle up, because you ain’t seen nothing yet…

The New York Post:

But make no mistake: On energy — one of the core issues that has defined the Biden presidency from its outset — Kennedy is an extremist.

His policies would go even further than Joe Biden’s, even though the president’s have weakened our security, slammed middle-class families’ budgets and set our nation backward.

A quick check of the tape reveals startling similarities between the two.

Biden declared climate change, the “only existential threat humanity faces.” Kennedy labels global warming “the biggest crisis we face globally.”

Biden vowed to “end fossil fuel.” Kennedy has bemoaned “our longtime deadly addiction to coal and oil.”

‘All These Rules for Nothing’: Former NFL Star Goes on Absolute Tirade Against Airport TSA

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .TJ Ward, an ex-NFL safety, is sick and tired of airport Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents making contact with his private parts.

An eight-year NFL veteran who last played in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward launched an absolute nuke in the direction of airport TSA, specifically at their security checks. And this came after he took a trip recently which reportedly got a little too touchy and that Ward straight-up wasn’t a fan of.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ward went on a tirade against airport TSA security personnel, claiming they’ve been pulling him aside to worry “about [his] ball sack.” . . .

Basically, he got patted down, and according to Ward, it was more him being sexually assaulted — and that’s a quote! . . .

Now, fortunately for me, I usually always pass through the metal detectors with no problem, but I’ve always felt like TSA goes a bit overboard with their security measures. I mean, yeah, I get it, we’ve gotta stay safe and all that jazz, but do any of y’all really like getting groped by the TSA?

J.K. Rowling Received Backlash for Saying This About a ‘Trans’ Person

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week, best-selling author J.K. Rowling was accused of “bullying” after she called a so-called “transgender” soccer manager a “straight, white, middle-aged bloke” on social media. Rowling’s statement came after a new law was enacted in Scotland that makes “misgendering” someone a crime.

“When I was young all the football managers were straight, white, middle-aged blokes, so it’s fantastic to see how much things have changed,” Rowling wrote on X on Saturday with a photo of Lucy Clark, the world’s first “openly transgender football manager,” according to Daily Mail.

Daily Mail shared that Rowling received backlash for “comparing” Clark to a “straight, white, middle-aged bloke.”

“I didn’t compare him to one. He IS one,” Rowling doubled-down.

White House Insists on a ‘Political’ Solution to Deal with Hamas Terrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

As with most other sane policies, the Biden administration has entirely — for a while now — thrown the conventional wisdom about “don’t negotiate with terrorists” out the window.

Proving its inexplicable desire to legitimize Iran-backed Hamas and hand swaths of the region over to violent terrorist group “a” or more violent terrorist group “b,” Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan insisted on Monday there must be a “political” solution to end the war sparked by Hamas on October 7.

That massacre, of course, saw Hamas and other Iran-backed terrorists invade Israel by land and air, massacre the most Jews in any single day since the Holocaust, and return to Gaza with bloodied hostages to whom the terrorists did unspeakable evils. Still, the Biden administration thinks diplomacy can achieve a peaceful resolution to the vile wickedness of Hamas and its aim to annihilate Israel.

Despite the lunacy of such a proposal, Sullivan again reiterated Biden’s belief that a “two-state solution” is the “political” answer to the current war. In fact, he said it’s the “only way” to ensure Israel’s security.

Donald Trump Starts 4th Week of Trial: ‘I Should Be out Campaigning … Election Interference’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump decried election interference as he arrived at a Manhattan courthouse on Monday to begin the fourth week of his criminal trial.

The numerous indictments against Trump are meant to politically sabotage his reelection campaign, Trump believes, buoyed by reports of multiple meetings between the Biden administration and Trump prosecutors.

“I should be out campaigning now instead of sitting in a very cold courthouse all day long,” Trump told reporters outside the courtroom. “This is a Biden prosecution. It’s election interference at a level that nobody in this country has ever seen before.”

“This all comes from in the White House,” Trump said.

The establishment media recently acknowledged that opponents waging lawfare against Trump are failing to prevent him from completing the greatest political comeback in history. What first appeared to be a “wall of legal obstacles” preventing Trump from mounting the greatest comeback in political history now appears to be “little more than a series of speed bumps,” Politico’s Senior Legal Affairs Reporter Josh Gerstein recently wrote.

Democrat-Run State About to Get Hit with 50 Cent per Gallon Gas Tax

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In today’s edition of Getting What You Vote For, the dummies in California are about to get hit with a 50 cent per gallon gas tax.

Remember, California voters have handed the Democrat party full power over the former Golden State. Democrats run everything from the governorship on down. Democrats not only hold majorities in the state legislature, they hold veto-proof majorities. In other words…

. . .

According to Triple-A, the average cost of a gallon of gas in California today is $5.29. That’s nearly $1.70 more than the national average. In some parts of California, gas costs $6.32 per gallon. The lowest cost for a gallon of gas in that Democrat-run shithole is $5.02. . .

Fox Business reports:

In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.

…

The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.

/0 Comments/in , /by

An employee of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) and a Board Of Trustees member for the University of Central Florida (UCF) were allegedly among the four people arrested in a sex sting bust Thursday, court documents say.

Leroy Green, a juvenile intervention specialist with the SCSO, was found at a local park after allegedly contacting undercover agents through a hookup app, court documents read, according to Wesh2 News.

The 35-year-old was arrested at the park wearing a “Youth Services” t-shirt from the sheriff’s department, according to agents, the outlet reported.

Harold Mills, 53, a member of the UCF board of trustees, was arrested at a different park after allegedly contacting agents through the same hookup app, court documents say, Wesh2 reported. Mills allegedly met up with an agent and allegedly asked for oral sex, the outlet reported, citing an arrest report.

Mills and Green are both facing charges for indecent exposure and prostitution, the outlet noted. (Read more from “Report: Police Make High-Profile Arrests in Alleged Sex Sting Bust” HERE)

Troubled Judge Facing 8 Felony Gun Charges Indicted Again After Alleged Drive-by Shooting at Brother-In-Law’s House

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A sitting Oklahoma judge already facing multiple felony gun charges in Texas has now been indicted for allegedly riddling his brother-in-law’s home with bullets in a drive-by shooting in his home state, authorities said.

Garfield County Associate Judge Brian Lovell, 59, was charged with fresh felony counts of discharging of a firearm into a dwelling and use of a vehicle to facilitate the discharge of a firearm last week in connection with the Feb. 12, 2023 gunplay in the town of Bison, Okla., the Enid News & Eagle reported.

Two days after the alleged shooting outside brother-in-law Kenneth Markes’ home, Lovell claimed that the gun had been stolen from his vehicle, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond said in a press release this week. . .

The controversial jurist also faces eight felony counts in Texas for allegedly using the same Glock 23 .40-caliber gun in a similar incident in Austin on Sept. 11 of last year.

In that case, Lovell is accused of driving near Matamoros and Santa Maria streets in his white SUV, during which he allegedly “discharged a firearm approximately five times,” the Eagle said.
