Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused

/0 Comments/in , /by

The gag order in former President Donald Trump’s case in Washington, D.C., involving his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election has been paused by a federal appeals court.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay on the gag order pending an appeal, with the court also setting an expedited appeal schedule. The pause is simply an administrative stay while the court deliberates the merits of the gag order before deciding whether to leave it in place or remove it.

The gag order was reimposed on Oct. 29 after being paused during a prior appeal in response to when it was initially imposed on Oct. 17. The order prohibited parties in the case from “making any public statements, or directing others to make any public statements, that target” Smith or his staff, defense attorneys or their staff, court staff, and “any reasonably foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.”

Trump’s lawyer’s brief arguing against the gag order will be due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 8, followed by the Justice Department’s brief in favor of the gag order being due by 5 p.m. on Nov. 14, and a reply by Trump’s lawyers is due by noon on Nov. 17. The oral argument for the appeal has been scheduled for Nov. 20, at 9:30 a.m., according to the order. (Read more from “Trump’s Gag Order in DC Election Interference Case Paused” HERE)

Turbulence Revealed as Top DC Lawyer’s Possible Cause of Death Aboard Jet

/0 Comments/in , /by

A prominent DC attorney aboard a corporate jet that experienced severe turbulence died last week — and officials said stability issues are likely to blame in the accident.

Dana Hyde, 55 was identified by Connecticut State Police after a plane she was on made an emergency landing Friday afternoon at Bradley International Airport, near Hartford.

The National Transportation Safety Board told The Post in a statement that its “investigators are now looking at a reported trim issue that occurred prior to the inflight upset.”

Hyde, of Cabin John, Maryland, was injured during the severe turbulence, and pronounced dead shortly at Hartford’s Saint Francis Medical Center following the emergency landing, police said.

Hyde was among five people aboard the flight, which originated in Keene, New Hampshire, and was meant to land in Leesburg, Virginia when it started to experience severe turbulence over New England. (Read more from “Turbulence Revealed as Top DC Lawyer’s Possible Cause of Death Aboard Jet” HERE)

New Study Reveals Loneliest City in the US

/0 Comments/in , /by

The capital of the United States is the nation’s loneliest city, according to a new study that listed Fontana, California as the least lonely city.

The new study, which examined Census Bureau data from 170 cities across the country, revealed that almost half of the 319,565 households in Washington D.C. had only one occupant. The study was published by Chamber of Commerce and determined loneliness based on how many households in a city had just one occupant.

The study also revealed that more than one in 10 people in the U.S. live alone. In Washington D.C., the loneliness number has increased by six percent in the past six years. The other four in the top five loneliest cities are: St. Louis, Alexandria and Richmond, Virginia and Cincinnati, Ohio.

St. Louis’s numbers come despite a drop in loneliness by 3,000 households between 2021 and 2022. (Read more from “New Study Reveals Loneliest City in the US” HERE)

‘Eat My [Bleep]’: Watch as Graphic Joe Biden Protest Causes Scene for D.C. Commuters

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Critics of President Joe Biden staged a protest Tuesday above a major road to Washington, D.C. during morning rush hour which included a large animated penis and signs urging Democrats to “suck my d***.”

Shaun Porter, a YouTube performer, placed several signs on a bridge over the 270 spur in Maryland that read “F*** BIDEN,” “EAT MY A**” and “DEMOCRATS CAN SUCK MY D*** 2022!!!” according to several photos and videos shared online. Men in costumes including a cowboy hat and a Care Bear costume waved signs from a truck on the bridge, and at least one woman drove up to the bridge to express her anger over the signs.

“We’re just unhappy with the direction of the country and we’re having a redress of grievances as protected under the First Amendment and within the laws of the state of Maryland,” Porter told the DCNF. “We’re ordinary people expressing our concerns with the direction of the country hoping to influence our fellow citizens in the upcoming November elections.”

DC Mayor Declares Public Emergency Over Thousands of Bussed Migrants

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared the busing of migrants to the nation’s capital a public emergency Thursday as over 9,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in the district since April.

The declaration authorizes Bowser to establish an Office of Migrant Services, which will provide support and services to migrants being sent to Washington DC from Texas and Arizona.

The district will initially allocate $10 million for the creation of the new office and will seek reimbursement from the federal government, according to the announcement.

“This is what we know. The crisis at the border is not lessening. It’s getting worse,” Bowser said at a press conference, adding that she expects “hundreds of more buses” to arrive in the fall.

According to the mayor’s office, about 9,400 migrants have arrived in DC since April, when Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott first began sending busloads of illegal migrants in an attempt to coerce Democratic leaders and the Biden administration to tighten border control. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey began following Abbott’s lead shortly thereafter. (Read more from “DC Mayor Declares Public Emergency Over Thousands of Bussed Migrants” HERE)

Recorded Phone Call and Archived Webpage Suggest That Children’s National Hospital in DC Offered ‘Gender-Affirming’ Hysterectomies to Children, Some Even Younger Than 16

/0 Comments/in , /by

An archived webpage and a call with hospital staff suggest that Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. provided hysterectomies to children as a “gender-affirming” procedure.

Fox News Digital reported that an archived webpage from August 18 listed “gender-affirming medical care and gender-affirming hysterectomy” as a service provided to patients “between the ages of 0-21.” Since at least June 2021, the webpage has listed the offering, but the hospital recently removed it.

When the news organization reached out to the D.C. hospital, a spokesperson stated that Children’s National Hospital does not provide gender reassignment surgery to children. They said that the previous webpage version that listed the service was a “flaw in the design of our website.”

The Twitter account Libs of TikTok first broke the story. The founder of the social media account, Chaya Raichik, posted an audio recording of a phone call with hospital staff confirming that they would be willing to perform a hysterectomy on a 16-year-old girl.

D.C. Mayor Begs for National Guard Help With Illegal Alien ‘Crisis’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has formally renewed her bid to get National Guard help for the “critical” flood of border-crossers being shipped in by fed-up officials in Arizona and Texas.

Bowser wrote to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Thursday, almost a week after the Pentagon denied her initial plea for help with the mass arrivals, which are now also streaming into the Big Apple.

She again begged for support “to help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in our nation’s capital resulting from the daily arrival of migrants in need of assistance.”

“We need help from our federal partners as we seek to stabilize and manage our operating environment in this critical moment,” she wrote.

Bowser also revealed that she is asking President Biden to give the border crossers special treatment akin to war refugees. (Read more from “D.C. Mayor Begs for National Guard Help With Illegal Alien ‘Crisis'” HERE)

WATCH: Anti-Vax Protests Erupt Worldwide Amid Plan for Major D.C. Event

/0 Comments/in , /by

Preparations are underway for an anti-vaccine-mandate protest at the National Mall in Washington, but citizens across Europe and Down Under have been holding mass demonstrations for some time now, including over the holiday weekend.

The march in Washington on Jan. 23 will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Washington Monument and conclude at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, about one mile away. Called Defeat the Mandate DC, it’s organized by The Unity Project, Children’s Health Defense and the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists.

“The mandates are un-American. Stop the mass firings. Stop segregating by vaccination status. Stop calling Americans ‘unpatriotic’ for making a personal medical choice,” the organizers declare on their website.

In New York City on Monday, protesters against vaccine mandates crossed the Brooklyn Bridge chanting “We the people will not comply.”

Liberal Mayor Denies Violating Her Mask Mandate at Indoor Wedding, Photos Show Otherwise

/0 Comments/in , /by

Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser denied violating her new indoor mask mandate over the weekend despite photos showing her maskless at an indoor wedding reception.

As Townhall previously reported, Bowser officiated a wedding Saturday at a hotel in the Adams Morgan neighborhood that featured hundreds of maskless guests. Photographs showed the mayor maskless at a table while not actively eating or drinking, a violation of the new D.C. mask mandate that went into effect that morning. . .

However, following the wedding, Bowser’s office denied that the mayor violated the newly reinstated mask mandate and instead said that she was in compliance with the rule and wore a face covering while indoors.

“On Saturday, July 31st, Mayor Bowser officiated an outdoor, rooftop wedding ceremony, followed by an indoor dinner. The Mayor wore a mask indoors in compliance with the mandate, and the organizers and venue staff worked to create a safe environment for the staff and guests,” the statement to FOX 5 reads. “The Friday, July 30th evening event called into question by conservative media was outdoors, on a rooftop.” (Read more from “Liberal Mayor Denies Violating Her Mask Mandate at Indoor Wedding, Photos Show Otherwise” HERE)

Parents Sue Over City Vaccinating Minors Without Parental Consent

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent District of Columbia law, the D.C. Minor Consent for Vaccinations Amendment Act of 2020, allows kids aged 11 and up to get any vaccine recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), including COVID shots, without parental consent or knowledge. Now, parents are fighting back.

The bill passed the D.C. Council on a 10-3 vote last November, and was signed into law by Mayor Muriel Bowser in December. It went into effect on March 19, 2021. On Monday, the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and the Parental Rights Foundation filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for D.C., seeking a court order to rule the law unconstitutional.

The plaintiffs are four parents who have minor children attending public school in D.C. and want a preliminary injunction to prohibit Bowser, the D.C. Department of Health, and the D.C. Public School System from enforcing the act.

“The D.C. Act is an unconscionable intrusion on the rights and liberty of parents and children,” said CHD president and general counsel Mary Holland. “As the Supreme Court held, ‘The liberty interest at issue in this case — the interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children — is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.’” (Read more from “Parents Sue Over City Vaccinating Minors Without Parental Consent” HERE)
