E. Jean Carroll emerges grinning from civil court after jury found Trump DID sexually abuse her in Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s: Ex-President is cleared of rape but ordered to pay her $5m damages

  Daily Mail Online

. . ."Carroll bowed her head as the verdict in the battery allegation was read out. As the defamation verdict was read she bowed it again, nodding in agreement. Afterwards she stood up and shook hands with Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina.

In a fiery post to Trump's social media app Truth Social the former president wrote in all caps, 'I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE - A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!' He later posted, 'VERY UNFAIR TRIAL!'

Carroll left court beaming from ear to ear without making a statement to the media, but was heard saying to the crowd, 'We're very happy.'

Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by more than two dozen women, but this has so far been the only case to end up before a jury, casting another shadow over Trump's 2024 Presidential campaign."  

HOW MUCH WILL TRUMP PAY E. JEAN CARROLL? 

SEXUAL ABUSE: $ 2 million to compensate for her injuries

PUNITIVE DAMAGES: $300,000 to compensate for Trump's 'willfully negligent' disregard of Carroll's rights

DEFAMATION: $2.7million for damages and a reputation repair program 

TOTAL: $ 5 million 

We’re Taking Bets: How Long Before Environmentalists Start Attacking EVs?

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

The only solution, they will say, is that we give up private ownership of cars, move to “15-minute” cities, cram into public transportation — until they decide that these encumbrances aren’t sufficient to fight “climate change.”

"Today, you’re not allowed to say a bad word about electric cars. They’re planet savers, after all. Environmentalists tell us so. But there will come a day — in the not-too-distant future — when the climate change fanatics will decide that EVs are planet killers, too.

"We’ve seen this bait-and-switch tactic before.

"Back in 2007, energy producers pumped money into environmental groups to promote natural gas. The Sierra Club used the funds to mount a “Beyond Coal” campaign touting the benefits of gas. Joe Romm, a climate advocate at the Center for American Progress, declared that natural gas “may be the single biggest game changer for climate action in the next two decades.”

"Then came the fracking revolution, and the resulting abundance of natural gas caused power plants across the country to switch to gas from coal. Then environmentalists decided natural gas wasn’t so good after all. By 2015, they were at war with it. The motto for the Sierra Club’s new “Beyond Natural Gas” was “Dirty, Dangerous, and Run Amok.”

"Environmentalists tried to stop fracking, opposed new pipeline development, and then started pushing for bans on gas-fueled appliances.

"More than 70 cities in California alone have voted to ban natural gas hookups in new homes. New York became the first to impose a statewide ban. Sarah Fox, an associate law professor at Northern Illinois University School of Law, gleefully told CNN that this ban “is becoming a mainstream policy.”

"Soon it will be the auto industry’s turn.

" 'Just as natural gas producers before them, they are bear-hugging green groups and working arm-in-arm with government while promising to bring forth a magical electric car future.

"GM says it will be all-electric by 2035. (In the first quarter of this year, EVs accounted for a grand total of 3.4% of GM sales.) Ford aims to have electric vehicles make up half of its sales by 2030. Toyota says it will be “carbon neutral” by 2050." . . .

Crooked Joe Biden Gets Destroyed After Tweeting Massive LIE That Republicans Vote To Cut Veterans’ Benefits

 Not a Joke!

"I hear House Republicans out on TV saying they would never vote to cut veterans’ benefits. "In case there’s any confusion, I made a little chart that could help them out.". . .

. . . "This tweet is phony for two main reasons.

"First of all, the most obvious is that Joe Biden didn’t make this chart. Nobody believes Biden has the ability to make a chart like this with such smooth lines. It was his staffers who made this and tweeted it.

"Secondly, the premise of the chart is wrong. Republicans are not cutting veteran benefits and the logic in this chart doesn’t work". . .

McCarthy Is the Adult in the Room on Debt Ceiling Negotiations | RealClearPolitics "The Republican-led House is proving to be the adult in D.C. It is the only chamber in the 118th Congress that is getting things done, thanks to its 55th speaker, California Republican Kevin McCarthy, and his leadership team

"Talking heads in Washington underestimate Speaker McCarthy at their own peril. He is no stranger to pulling off what many thought was impossible, after going 15 rounds and enduring hours of cable news skepticism before being elected speaker. What are the secrets to his success?"

It’s always difficult to anticipate what new trickery the Democrats might concoct to sway any given election. They’re devious, after all, and it’s nigh on impossible for non-devious types to get in their heads.

Another thing that’s important to ponder is which parts of their established playbook they might trot out. It’s a thick playbook, to be sure, and there’s a good chance that they’ll be throwing the whole thing at the GOP to keep President LOLEightyonemillion around well past his expiration date. The cabal running Biden’s brain is at this moment prepping for whichever nominee the Republicans eventually throw at them.

Their candidates may be trainwrecks, but their game plan will be rock solid.

Why are White House staff afraid to let a Post reporter question Biden? (nypost.com)  "Not content with limiting President Joe Biden to a modern-record low of full press conferences, the White House staff on Monday banned The Post’s Steven Nelson from the prez’s only daytime public event — leaving around 20 of the venue’s 50 or so seats empty.

"Biden stomped out of a February presser on China in same room, griping “give me a break” about journalists’ failure to be “polite” after the Post reporter asked, “Is your ability to deal with China compromised by your family’s business relationships in China?”

"Last Friday, the prez refused to take press questions while claiming he had a “major press conference” that night; in fact it was a one-on-one interview on ultraliberal MSNBC.

"God is Trans' exhibit at NYC Catholic Church raises eyebrows

NY Post  "A new exhibit at a “very liberal” Manhattan church is raising some eyebrows for its religious take on gender identity.

"The “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” display at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle has some parishioners scratching their heads — and seems to run counter to the Catholic Church’s stance on the transgender community.

"“The church should not be promoting this,” one irate parishioner told The Post. “I understand there are transgender people. I pray for all people but enough is enough.

"“It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others,” they said. “Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide.

" 'That’s what gets the church in trouble.”

"The display by artist Adah Unachukwu is described as a queer spiritual journey in three steps: Sacrifice, Identity and Communion.

"According to the exhibit, Sacrifice represents the need to “shed an old life.” Identity is described as “the most impactful part” of the display, asking the question, ‘What does holiness look like?’

"Communion places “God and the mortal on the same plane.”

Bombshell News on Joe Biden Is Coming: ‘Do Not Indict Hunter Biden Before Wednesday,’ Says Comer –

 "Bombshell"? That's so MSNBC-ish; So Adam Schiff; so Democrat Judicial Committee; CNN.

PJ Media

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, is preparing to drop a major bombshell about Joe Biden. In fact, he’s so convinced that this evidence is consequential that he’s also spoken to the Department of Justice, advising them not to indict Hunter Biden until the Committee’s forthcoming announcement.". . .

               That would be the Biden, Democrat Department of Justice, right?

"According to Comer, committee members have been meticulously studying bank records and consulting with former associates and whistleblowers, and this bombshell evidence will be released on Wednesday.

“ 'My message to the Department of Justice is very loud and clear. Do not indict Hunter Biden before Wednesday,” Comer told Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

“ 'When you have the opportunity to see the evidence that the House Oversight Committee will produce with respect to the web of LLCs, with respect to the number of adversarial countries that this family influence peddled in, and this is not just about the president’s son. This is about the entire Biden family, including the President of the United States. So we believe there are a whole lot of tips that the IRS and the DOJ don’t know about because we don’t believe they’ve done a whole lot of digging in this, and we have,” he said.

“ 'By all accounts from the media reports that we’re getting, what they’re looking at charging Hunter Biden on is a slap on the wrist. It’s a drop in the bucket,” he continued. “So Wednesday will be a very big day for the American people in getting the facts presented to them so that they can know the truth, and then the Department of Justice can finally do what they should have done years ago.' ”. . .

Biden’s Drag Queen Navy -

 

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Harpy Daniels; like him or you're a hater

"Anheuser-Busch, the beer manufacturer, has suffered a huge self-inflicted wound by employing transgender “woman” Dylan Mulvaney as a brand ambassador for Bud Lite.

"Anheuser-Busch has put the female vice president of marketing who thought up the Mulvaney campaign on a presumably permanent leave of absence and fired the ad agency that helped her do it. Anheuser-Busch has reportedly lost about $6 billion in market value and as much as 20 percent of its market share.

"That loss of market share and the reduced revenue that accompany it have been enough to bring Anheuser-Busch back to reality and make the company remember that its primary mission is to brew good beer. Unfortunately for our national security, there are no market protections against President Joe Biden’s political agenda, which is destroying the readiness and lethality of our military. recruit new sailors, which we’ll get back to in a moment.

"Back in the olden days of the 1990s, the military had a culture unto itself, defined by patriotism, tradition, and pride. Young men and women join the military for any number of reasons. Some do it to satisfy family tradition. Some join simply out of patriotism. Some join to get a job or to get away from their family and friends. Some join to earn GI Bill benefits, which is the only way they can go to college.

"Anheuser-Busch’s transgender mess came late to the party. From October 2022 to March 2023, the U.S. Navy made an active-duty drag queen one of its “digital ambassadors” to help recruit new sailors, which we’ll get back to in a moment.". . .

The Navy appointed active-duty drag queen Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley to be one of its “digital ambassadors” last October in a program that ran through March. Kelley goes by the stage name "Harpy Daniels" and claims to be “non-binary.” He has reportedly performed his drag queen act aboard several ships.

  . . ."When people serve in the military, they have great pride in what they do. It may be something like what the special forces do, which nobody else can. It may take enormous skill like flying — or repairing — a fighter aircraft. The pride may simply be from being a part of something bigger than yourself.

"A lot of that pride was dashed to pieces because of Biden’s bugging out of Afghanistan, which cost 13 lives and left hundreds of Americans behind, along with about $7 billion in weapons. If you’re in the military, speaking out about that debacle and asking for accountability among the generals is a sure way to get into big trouble.". . .

Turning Point Action

While the U.S. is hiring drag queens to boost military recruitment Communist China is laughing at the free entertainment we’re providing for them while they grow and train their forces.

How do the British subjects like their new king?

 Christopher Monckton of Brenchley    "Here is an essay in pictures taken in the tent city that sprang up along the Mall that leads to Buckingham Palace the day before the coronation of King Charles III.  Some of the fans of constitutional monarchy had been there for days.  These pictures show people of all ages and from all walks of life.  Movingly, they show a nation at ease with itself and with its king, and with its sense of humor intact after the recent years of turmoil. [UPDATE: The American Thinker system purges images after six weeks. If the pictures for this post are gone, you can still find them here.]

"No British event would be complete without a tea party:"

Christopher, Third Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, is a British peer and a well known expert on climate change.  He is the author of some two dozen learned papers on climate sensitivity and mitigation economics.   Sort of a British John Kerry, one would surmise.

The Morning Briefing: Democrats Are Holding Dress Rehearsals for More 'Summer of Love' Riots

"Many expect some sort of trouble in the streets to pop up next year just before the election. But what if they decide that more is better and want to kick things off this year? Maybe just give it a trial run.

"Kevin chronicled some of the responses to Jordan Neely’s death that are going on in New York:

Neely is the poster boy to kick off the 2023 riot season that the left is hungry to start. He is black, homeless, and mentally ill. Even more mouthwatering to the Marxists, he was killed by a white military veteran.

Liberals began protesting Neely’s death. The protests soon turned violent, and several anarchists were arrested. The number of protestors is growing — just like we saw after George Floyd died.

Other meatheads threatened to shoot people. Scores of protestors jumped onto the subway tracks to halt incoming trains.

UPDATE: Media botched the Allen, TX shooter; A deeper look at shopping mall shooting in Allen, Texas, second-deadliest in 2023

TD spent hours looking for a source that gave us an accurate image of the Allen shooter; here is an update.

. . ."And just like another clockwork, the doddering old fool who occupies The bully pulpit weighed in on Sunday with these remarks:". . ."Not a word, of course, about Garcia's mental health."

. . ."So with the MSM rushing to write articles with little or no facts, with it always pushing its 'white bad' agenda, and with Biden purposely ignoring the elephant in the room, it's no wonder his and their ratings are in the tank.

Biden and his Democrat friends will savor all this.

Curiously, the Washington Post, a publication that cares more about pushing the Democrat Party’s agenda than the truth, quickly linked the brown-skinned Hispanic shooter to “White Supremacy.”

Daily Mail Online identifies shooter in this article

USA Today   "Federal authorities are investigating the background and motive of a gunman who killed eight people and wounded seven others after opening fire at an outdoor shopping mall Saturday in Allen, Texas.

"Law enforcement is reviewing social media accounts they believe were used by the gunman, identified as Mauricio Garcia, 33, who was killed by a police officer. Social media posts expressed interest in white supremacist and neo-Nazi views, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

"The shooting is this year's second-deadliest.

"The gunman carried multiple weapons and had others in his car. His links to white supremacy reportedly included social media posts as well as a patch on his chest that read “RWDS,” an acronym for the phrase “Right Wing Death Squad,” which is popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups.". . .

Speaking of Joe: Biden accuser Tara Reade: 'If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden' | Just The News   . . ."I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden," Reade tweeted Sunday. "Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.

"She also said that she is not suicidal, nor a foreign agent and she only decided to tell the truth and testify under oath in Congress about her experience working for Biden.

"The president has denied allegations of the assault since Reade came forward in 2020 about it.

"In March, Republican Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) invited Reade to testify to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, but it is unclear whether that will happen.

"When asked about the possible interview, a committee spokesperson told Politico that the panel is "focused on the Biden family’s business schemes and bank records.' "
