Trump Georgia Case: DA Willis Loses Temper, Receives Warning From Judge in Explosive Testimony

 Trump Georgia Case: DA Willis Loses Temper, Receives Warning From Judge in Explosive Testimony (legalinsurrection.com)

"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis lost her temper on the stand as she faces allegations of financially benefiting from hiring Nathan Wade as special prosecutor in the case against former President Donald Trump and others.

"Trump’s co-defendant, Michael Roman, said Willis should be disqualified. It’s called a conflict of interest.

"Willis’s body language said it all before she took the stand: rage, nervousness, and trembling.

"Willis sparred with defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant from the start, leading Judge Scott McAfee to call for a five-minute recess.

"The testimony took a major turn when Willis’s former friend said Wade and Willis began their relationship in 2019 and not 2022. See, if it began in 2022, it wouldn’t seem as suspicious because Willis charged Trump in 2021.

"But 2019…that is something else. Willis and Wade also didn’t disclose their relationship:

Roman alleged in court filings last month that Willis should be disqualified from the case, claiming that she financially benefited from hiring Wade because of their personal relationship, and said she had “some choice words” about Roman’s motion, calling some of the allegations “dishonest” and “extremely offensive.” At one point, Willis held up a printed copy of the allegations against her in both hands and turned to the judge yelling, “this is a lie!”

Willis also called defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant’s interests “contrary to democracy.”. . .

Biden's plan to give Palestinians a state is a mess in the making

The Palestinians' leadership is corrupt. It has always placed self-aggrandizement before its people and the Palestinians, themselves, have generally failed themselves because they were always driven by a false narrative they came to believe and which worked, i.e.. victimhood. 


 Richard Berkowitz - American Thinker   "There is a report floating around which asserts Biden is about to shove establishment of a Palestinian state down Israel's throat. 

"According to the Washington Post:
 
The Biden administration and a small group of Middle East partners are rushing to complete a detailed, comprehensive plan for long-term peace between Israel and Palestinians, including a firm timeline for the establishment of a Palestinian state, that could be announced as early as the next several weeks.
 
The urgency of the effort is tied directly to a proposed pause in the fighting and release of hostages held in Gaza by Hamas that is being negotiated by the United States, Qatar and Egypt.
 
An initial cease-fire, projected to be at least six weeks, would provide time to make the plan public, recruit additional support and take the initial steps toward its implementation, including the formation of an interim Palestinian government, according to U.S. and Arab officials.
 "The reason is not clear to me, but, in view of "Uncle Joe's" sinking poll numbers and his well-known moral corruption, it must have something to do with his desire to save his re-election. 

"Uncle Joe" has been loyal to Israel until "Bibi's" war lasted too long for our president's political tolerance so it has come time to pull the Persian tug out from under Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu since the latter intends to complete his goal of reducing the risk of a third Holocaust.

"There is no love lost between Bibi and Biden, nor was there any lost between Obama and Bibi." . . .

Nova Music Festival Survivor Speaks Out

 International Fellowship of Christians and Jews®


"Natalie Sanandaji speaks out about the Nova music festival and how she and her friend kept running for over two hours, which ended up saving their lives on October 7. Natalie explains how important it is for her to tell her story so the world knows and can connect to her experiences, reports Arutz Sheva:
 She explained that “It’s important for me to tell the story because I want people to see a face to this story. When the whole world is dehumanizing Jews and acting like this massacre was a form of resilience to ‘free Palestine,’ I feel that maybe putting a face to the story will show them how human this story is. Because if they’re just reading about this story in an article, if they’re just seeing someone on the news talk about it who wasn’t there, I don’t think they’re gonna feel as emotional about it. I don’t think they’re gonna feel connected to it.” “I hope that when they see my face, when they see that there’s a face to this story, that they’ll feel more connected to it. And maybe they’ll change their mind about how they feel about everything that happened on October 7. “If we let them take our joy away, the joy of living, then we’ve let them win. And we’re not gonna let them win. Of course we’re gonna dance again,” she concluded.

April Ryan: Jean-Pierre is Race-Based 'Foolishness'

 Mediaite     "Long-time White House correspondent April Ryan called out criticism of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as racialized “foolishness” from a “white male-dominated space” — that is, the press briefing room.

"Writing for the New York Times, Michael Grynbaum reported on the current and unique arrangement of press secretaries in the Biden Administration, given Admiral John Kirby’s recent promotion and increased presence during briefings on behalf of President Joe Biden.

"As the first Black and openly gay press secretary, Jean-Pierre cuts a historical figure in the briefing room, filling the rather big shoes of the well-received Jen Psaki, who moved to MSNBC. As with nearly all new press secretaries, Jean-Pierre’s tenure did not start without criticism but was reasonable and partisan.

"Grynbaum thoughtfully lists some of the critiques — namely an over-reliance on prepared talking points in her briefing notebook and that “some reporters grumbled that she occasionally seemed out of the loop,” among other things. Kirby, on the other hand, has received praise, perhaps in part owing to the focused area of his role, national security, and foreign affairs.

"Ryan, a columnist for The Grio, flatly claimed that Jean-Pierre’s standard for judging her is by nature racialized. Grybaum writes:  . . .Full article here.

A plurality of Americans think Biden's doing more to divide the nation.

 . . ."But as usual, he managed to stand up in one of America’s most violent cities and accept no responsibility for the homicides or crime and instead blame Donald Trump and that MAGA crowd."  Human Events

More Americans Say Biden Is Dividing the Country Rather Than Unifying It, Poll Finds (newsweek.com)   . . ."An overwhelming 92 percent of Republicans surveyed said Biden was dividing the nation, while 84 percent of Democrats said he was doing more to bring the country together. Half of independents, a key voting bloc that has been souring on Biden, responded that he was dividing the nation.
"Biden repeatedly called for unity on the campaign trail, in his victory speech and in his inaugural address. Just last week, the president made another appeal for harmony as he delivered remarks on the one-year anniversary of the deadly U.S. Capitol riot.". . .

Opinion | America Has Split, and It’s Now in ‘Very Dangerous Territory’ - The New York Times (nytimes.com)      . . ."McCoy and Press studied 52 countries “where democracies reached pernicious levels of polarization.” Of those, “twenty-six — fully half of the cases — experienced a downgrading of their democratic rating.” Quite strikingly, the two continue, “the United States is the only advanced Western democracy to have faced such intense polarization for such an extended period. The United States is in uncharted and very dangerous territory.” . . .

More Americans Say Biden Is Dividing the Country   "Biden has not just appeased the extreme left of his party by canceling pipelines and erasing the southern border, he has become its cheerleader while eviscerating everyone who voted against him in the 2020 presidential election as white supremacists, racists, and domestic terrorists. On Thursday, he continued that smear campaign during a speech in Philadelphia, where the murder rate has already hit 361 for the year and threatens to attain an all-time high, set last year. Biden’s speech was supposed to be about democracy but it turned out to be another rant about those “MAGA Republicans” whom Biden has scapegoated for all the crimes and ills besetting the country.

"If President Trump had stood before a blood-red background with military figures at attention, the media would have been apoplectic over the Nazi symbolism and the police state imagery. But Biden was allowed to use it without comment. I didn’t count the number of times he said MAGA, or how many times it sounded like maggot or mega, but it certainly dominated his speech." . . .
