The American Spectator | USA News and Politics    "Finally.

"The seriously out-of-control far-leftist Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, he who has taken upon his Trump-hating self to fine the former president for $355 million for supposedly inflating his net worth, is finally getting some comeuppance." . . .

Truckers Cutting Off Deliveries to NYC in Protest of Trump's $355 Million Civil Fraud Ruling | National Review    "Truckers have indicated they will soon cut off deliveries to New York City in protest of former president Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, by the end of which he was ordered on Friday to pay $355 million in penalties for multiple fraud counts related to his business empire.

Yes, Ms. Willis, You Are On Trial – In The Court Of Public Opinion

The only success you and your Get-Trump team have delivered of late, Ms. Willis, is to destroy Americans’ faith in the justice system and probably, your career.  

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

"Well, let’s see, Ms. Willis. You’re on the witness stand, before a judge considering a motion to disqualify you from further pursuing your Trump-ed up case against Donald Trump

… dodging questions about a special prosecutor you hired, at a high rate of compensation, without obvious qualifications

… with whom you’ve had an intimate relationship and who has paid thousands of dollars for vacations you’ve taken to exotic locations 

… which you claim you reimbursed with cash from massive stashes lying around your house because you were so advised by your father

… who insisted that he did so counsel you because “it’s a black thing” 

… while further playing the race card by adding that unidentified protesters gathered outside your house and shouted the “N” word when you were somehow elected district attorney

… despite your supposed lack of awareness of such basic legal requirements as disclosing conflicts of interest familiar to any first-year law student not absent the day they taught Ethics in Ethics class.

"As they say: if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles to the witness stand like a duck, it’s a duck.

"Yes, Ms. Willis. You looked, talked, and acted very much like someone on trial. For your reputation. For your continued participation in the case. For your future as district attorney. And potentially for charges of – how appropriate – making and filing false statements." . . . 

Biden Would Never [Bind] Ukraine To A Ceasefire Like He Does Israel

 America seems to be accursed with stupidity in our leaders and our policies. TD*

David Harsanyi (thefederalist.com)

There is a gross moral hypocrisy in how the president treats our allies

While backing Ukraine allows Democrats to virtue signal about their love of “democracy,” turning on Israel allows them to appease the growing anti-Western sentiment of their base. It’s only going to get worse in the coming years.

"Joe Biden has not only promised to veto any standalone Israeli aid, but he’s reportedly circulating a draft resolution within the United Nations Security Council that would compel the Jewish state to stop its ground offensive in Rafah and, effectively, give Hamas a pass. Beyond that, the U.S. is also reportedly thinking about circumventing Israel and formally recognizing a Palestinian state.

"In other words, while Ukraine is prodded by the United States to fight for every inch of its land, Israel is prodded to commit suicide.

"Indeed, anyone who dares to suggest the United States push Ukraine to negotiate a settlement with Russia is framed as a democracy-hating Putin shill. Yet, before we even knew exactly how many Israeli women and children had been murdered, raped, and kidnapped by Hamas, Democrats were demanding Israel negotiate with Palestinians to create a potential three-front Iranian-proxy terror state on its border.

"Those who wonder what the endgame of a U.S. proxy war against a nuclear power in Europe might look like are told that the only acceptable outcome is complete victory for Ukraine. The very future of world democracy, we are assured, hinges on the integrity of that nation’s borders.

"Israel, though, is asked to surrender its territorial claims and reward those who supported, coordinated, and participated in a massacre of its civilians — which included 30-plus dead American citizens — with a brand new nation. It is only through this concession that peace can be realized, contends the Western foreign policy elite. Which is weird, considering Trump circumvented the Palestinian problem and forged a historic peace agreement. Biden immediately reverted to Obama-era Iran-coddling — and, well, here we are." . . .

* Case in point:  Biden’s woke sec of state Antony Blinken scolded staffers over ‘problematic’ language like ‘manpower’

. . ."It instructed that when speaking about military personnel, representatives of the government agency should “avoid using phrases like ‘brave men and women on the front lines,’ but something like 'brave soldiers'” 

"Gender “may or may not correspond with one’s sex assigned at birth," the note continued. It further said that “commonly used pronouns could include she/her, he/him, they/them, and ze/zir," and these are a "personal decision that should be respected."  

Border Patrol Union Unleashes on Biden in Short But Hard-Hitting Open Letter: 'Dear Joe...'

 One can doubt Joe's handlers keep things like this from him. TD

The Gateway Pundit | by Laura Wellington  "Sometimes less says more. The Border Patrol Union proved it Monday with a social media post on X.

"The union shared a very concise letter to President Joe Biden.

"Fewer than 50 words, the message was short but sweet and to the point.

" 'Dear Joe, You OWN this catastrophic disaster at the border – lock, stock and barrel,” the union wrote on the National Border Patrol Council account. “You created it. You nursed it along. You encouraged it. You facilitated it. It’s all yours. Don’t run from it now like a coward. Signed, The BP agents you’ve thrown under the bus.' ”

Dear Joe,
You OWN this catastrophic disaster at the border - lock, stock and barrel. You created it. You nursed it along. You encouraged it. You facilitated it. It's all yours.
Don't run from it now like a coward.
Signed,
The BP agents you've thrown under the bus. pic.twitter.com/z6HrL6Ai6E

Judge Engoron May Have Destroyed New York With His Insane Ruling

Hochul lets the cat out of the bag about how politicized New York's prosecution of Trump was; Monica Showalter - American Thinker

. . ."They can fund their entire state budget shortfalls on just by confiscating huge businesses and their assets on technical legal grounds and prosecutorial favorites and whims.

"In the end, investors will see what's going on, decide to flee to states that still have actual rule of law, and their New York properties will be sold to the communist Chinese or other unsavory players the New York ruling elites won't want to mess with, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela when Hugo Chavez started expropriating properties. When I visited Venezuela in late 2005, desperate property owners told me they had no choice but to sell their properties to avoid getting them confiscated and the only buyers for them were FARC's Marxist narcoterrorists because they were Chavista allies. Look for that same dynamic to start happening in New York as a result of this judicial travesty." . . .

‘What Fraud?' Kevin O'Leary Destroys CNN Host Over Latest Trump Verdict

. . ."O'Leary reiterated that this isn't about Trump. "I don't care about Trump in this. I care about America, and I care about entrepreneurship, and I care about democracy and the fairness. The judicial system is now being criticized. People are asking themselves — the bar of New York — is this judge rational to charge $355 million in a case where no one lost any money? Is that good for the people of New York? Should the people of New York wake up to this and say 'What's happening to us? Why is this becoming so perverse? Why are we the focus of this injustice?' [It has] nothing to do with Trump. I'm not supporting Trump, I'm supporting American entrepreneurship, and New York is slowly becoming the number one loser state in America. I'm sorry. That's what's happening." . . . 

NY A.G. on Fear Trump Ruling Will Drive Away Business: Tourism, Wall Street Are Good -- Will Seize His Assets if Needed (breitbart.com)   "During a portion of an interview with ABC News Senior Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katersky aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) responded to concerns that the fraud verdict against 2024 Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump will force businesses out of the state by stating that “tourism is up and Wall Street is doing just fine.”

"After playing a clip of James saying that if Trump can’t pay the judgment, they’ll request the seizure of his assets, Katersky said, “Trump was held liable for exaggerating his wealth and inflating the value of his real estate so banks would give him low-interest loans. Trump insisted the banks liked doing business with him.”

"He then played a clip where he asked James, “They said no victim, no one got harmed, the banks got paid back. So, no harm, no foul. Why is that not the case in your view?”

"James responded, “So, financial frauds are not victimless crimes. He engaged in this massive amount of fraud. And it wasn’t just a simple mistake, a slight oversight, the variations were wildly exaggerated, and the extent of the fraud was staggering.”. . .

"Not Your Father's Democratic Party"

 Derek Hunter (townhall.com)

From this.....

. . ."Most curious is how there is literally no one on the left willing to be critical of it. There has been no “Sister Souljah moment,” no Democrat willing to tell this violent mob, or the entitled brats on college campuses, or arrogant and ignorant Members of Congress that this country is not the horrific, racist, sexist, homophobic root of all evil in the world they chant it is. 

"Not one Democrat stands up for the country against this destructive mob, they embrace it.

"This is not the party of JFK – someone who served this country, who was anti-communist. He wasn’t perfect, but he wasn’t anything near what that party is now. Their 1960 nominee would not even be allowed a daytime speaking slot at their convention today. 

"As you hear Joe Biden whine about how the Republican Party has changed, as him how? Look up everything he’s spent his career advocating and ask if any of what he said he supported in his first presidential run in 1988 is something he supports today. His only legislative “accomplishment” in four decades in the Senate was the 1994 crime bill, which he had to denounce because Democrats no longer support the idea of imprisoning criminals." . . .

Should Hamas be eliminated?

 Should Hamas be eliminated? - Quora

The truth is that Israel has had ENOUGH of a terrorist government who not only couldn't stop launching missiles at them ever since they obtained power...but had the unmitigated nerve to invade them. Not to take territory for Palestinians, but to KILL JEWS. It was the only purpose of the October 7 invasion. 

Executed without pity: . . . wounded female Israeli soldiers cowering
under a table after being injured by a grenade are shot dead by Hamas

"Hamas, after four months of fighting the Israelis, are causing the destruction of Gaza and the death of thousands of Palestinians, not Israel. They do this by not laying down their arms, not admitting they made a mistake by attacking Israel so brutally, and refusing to surrender power to a more reasonable authority.

"Hamas has recently proposed a cease fire, but the terms favor only Hamas. They want to do it in three stages. They want the release of 1,500 Palestinians from Israeli prisons. They want the right to SELECT a great many of them. If they get these terms, they can still say they won the war and got the release of their friends and co-terrorists. I will be surprised if Israel agrees to these terms. When you are beat, you should surrender, not try to get ridiculous terms and somehow remain in power. They also want help rebuilding Gaza.

"On a side note regarding problems Hamas ALSO caused...attacks on shipping in the Red Sea against unarmed cargo vessels. Or attacks on US personnel overseas. Or possibly bringing on a third World War and the world economy to a crashing halt. All based on the worst of human emotions. Hatred.

"I think Israel is doing the right thing and telling the world, "It stops HERE. It MUST STOP HERE.' "
