Justice Merchan's gagged witness goes public with what he would have told the jury and it's a doozy

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker   After Michael Cohen's disastrous testimony, it would seem that the case against President Trump over the bookkeeping entry in a hush-money payment case would be in tatters as it goes to the jury. Many legal eagles have said as much.

But the politically partisan New York justice in this case, Juan Merchan, doesn't give up that fast and clearly wants to salvage the case. He's instructing the jury to ignore the detail about the 'underlying crime' and treat the case the same way a burglary case is treated." . . .

. . ."The underlying "crime" of course is trying to influence an election. Apparently no one is allowed to influence an election, and especially not a candidate.

"The prosecutorial and judicial argument goes that since Trump did this payment and got elected, it was entirely because this hush money was paid and the election would have gone the other way if he had ignored then-lawyer Michael Cohen's bad advice to make it and instead didn't make it.

"The laws against election influence by foreign actors are suddenly being called into service in this case because hiding one's dirty personal laundry while trying to get elected is unthinkable, a felony, as the prosecution argues, as if no pol had ever done such a thing in the past. Right, John Edwards? Right, Bill Clinton? Grover Cleveland was unavailable for comment.

"What Smith demonstrates is just how valuable his testimony would have been to that jury about what the law is and how regulators enforce it, which instead has to take Michael Cohen's word for it that Trump, who didn't even know about the hush money paid according to another witness, somehow broke the law.

"Sound like a fair trial we have here? Only in a banana republic."

What if Justice Merchan has been compromised? - Patricia McCarthy   "Given what we know about what has been going on in Justice Juan Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, including the preposterous, over-the-top bias of this judge for the prosecution and his overt antipathy for the defendant, Donald Trump, what explains his willing destruction of his own reputation as a judge? 

Each and every legal scholar who has weighed in on the course of the trial, from Alan Dershowitz to Jonathan Turley and countless others, (with the exception of those paid by CNN and MSNBC) is gobsmacked by Merchan’s thoroughly unconstitutional rulings, gag orders, contempt charges, exclusion of practically every witness with relevant testimony for the defense, and his allowance of non-relevant witnesses like Stormy Daniels. " . . .

Not even Rachel Maddow, the odious Joy Reid or Anderson Cooper can deny that there are two, distinct systems of justice in America today.  

Award-Winning Filmmaker Oliver Stone Says Democrats are Using 'Lawfare' Against Donald Trump    . . ."The Academy Award winner blamed corruption on money in politics.

“If you’re a poor man or a middle-class man it’s very hard to run for office in the United States, unless you have money and corporate sponsors. Money controls politics in the United States. If you go to European countries, you’ll find that their elections are very mandated. The British elections are very low cost, or they used to be until recently. In France, they have election rules. And we need that in the United States. Let’s get the money out of the politics.”

Tim Scott: "Weaponization of Justice System" Against Trump "Is Something We Find Repulsive as Black Men" | Video | RealClearPolitics . . ."TOM BEVAN: I wanted to talk to you about the black vote and Donald Trump. We had a New York Times Siena poll that came out—a swing state poll—that showed Trump getting 20% among black voters in those swing states. This would be the largest share of the black vote that any Republican has gotten since Richard Nixon in 1960. So, Senator, what exactly is going on with Donald Trump? Why does he seem to have more appeal than ever among African American voters?"

Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report -

Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com)     President Biden went to Atlanta to make a commencement address at Morehouse College and to speak at a campaign rally. The city made extensive preparations for Joe's arrival. With a Biden rally being held in town, Atlanta residents were warned that traffic could be lighter than normal.

 President Biden gave a fiery speech to graduates of historically black Morehouse College in Atlanta Sunday on National Malcolm X Day honoring the civil rights activist. It went well. Democrats let out a huge sigh of relief when Joe went the entire speech without referring to Malcolm X as Melvin the Tenth.

 The Grammy Awards announced Friday a line-up of recording superstars next February to perform during the In Memoriam section that honors the departed musicians. Today was another sad day for all the music industry. This morning P Diddy was found alive in his bedroom in Los Angeles.

 The New York Post reported rumors that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading for a divorce. They've been appearing alone at separate events not wearing their wedding rings. You know your marriage is over in Hollywood when your wife will only allow you to see her undress on Only Fans.

 Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi was killed Sunday after his helicopter crashed as it tried to fly over a mountainous terrain in the fog. The country's civil aviation officials were quick to blame the crash on pilot error. The Ayatollah called it a huge advancement in not letting women drive.

 The Washington Post cited President Biden for repeatedly insisting in speeches that inflation was at 9% when he took office in 2021 when it was actually 1.4%. The steep rise in consumer prices has one silver lining. Thanks to inflation, you can now eat food that's been on the floor for up to 8.6 seconds.

 Bobby Kennedy threatened to sue CNN for not allowing him to participate in next month's presidential debate. Debate negotiations are still fluid between the Trump and Biden camps and the two parties. The Democrats reserve the right for Joe Biden to be played in the debate by Robert De Niro.

 Oklahoma is reported joining other Red States challenging Biden's decision to widen Title 9 to give added protection to trans-genders. Today I got a letter from the Beverly Hills Courthouse saying I was being fined $100 for driving in a bus lane. I wrote back and told them that my car identifies as a bus.

Even Obama won't speak at Harvard -

 Don Surber (substack.com)

"This year is probably a rougher year for someone to affiliate themselves with Harvard"

We now have a group of people in America who want Jews eradicated from the river to the sea. We have a name for such haters. Democrats.

"Keep it up. We’re winning. The first and most prestigious college in America now is such a pariah that even Barack Hussein Obama apparently turned down giving this year’s Class Day keynote speech, according to the Harvard Crimson.

"The student paper reported, “Harvard Struggles To Find Class Day Speaker Less Than 2 Weeks Before Ceremony.”

"The story said, “More than 10 people have declined offers to serve as the keynote speaker for Harvard College’s annual Class Day, leaving the Harvard Alumni Association scrambling to find a speaker with less than two weeks until the ceremony for undergraduate seniors.”

"That paper also said, “The candidates on the Senior Class Committee’s initial list included Harvard dropout Matt Damon, a former member of the Class of 1992, 15-time NBA All-Star Shaquille O’Neal, former U.S. president Barack Obama, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and Canadian rapper Drake. Damon, O’Neal, and Drake were contacted but declined the invitation to speak.”

"Maybe they can get Harvard hero General Qasem Soleimani. Oh wait, Trump had him thumped.

"Senior Class First Marshal Fez S. Zafar told the paper, “What was explained to us was that obviously this year is probably a rougher year for someone to affiliate themselves with Harvard, especially if they don’t have an existing connection.”

Obviously.

"Harvard’s year was not as bad as the year 1,200 Israelis and foreign guests had on October 7 when Palestinian soldiers in civilian clothing surprised and attacked them. The rape and butchery shocked the nation. Some of the soldiers paraglided in.

"And unlike Harvard, their wounds were not self-inflicted. Most of them just wanted to go to a music festival for peace.

"Harvard’s response to October 7 was tolerating students who supported Hamas and the raping and killing.

"In December, the president of Harvard and a few other elitist school presidents testified before Congress just two months after October 7. The president, Claudine Gay, said well, calling for the extermination of Jews is OK because Harvard welcomes robust discussions — except for discussions about LGBT, DEI and CRT.

"Oh, Harvard fired her for embarrassing Harvard in her testimony. The excuse was she plagiarized her PhD dissertation and just about everything else she ever wrote. But Harvard kept her on staff at $800,000 a year. Call it black privilege or call it female privilege but the bottom line is nothing changed. Harvard in 2024 is as Harvard was in 1924.

"Anti-Semitic." . . . What must it be like, dealing with such a bi-polar country as America? Israel sees us as an ally in one administration, an adversary in the next. TD

Why Trump Eagerly Accepted Unfair Debate Rules

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

He just wants to get Biden on stage so tens of millions of voters can get an unfiltered look at the man.

"Any experienced negotiator knows that, if his opening offer is immediately accepted, he has given away too much."

"Consequently, it must have rattled President Biden’s handlers when former President Trump instantly agreed to their debate proposal, despite its extravagant demands concerning format and rules. The Biden team very likely expected Trump to balk at some of those preconditions, which would have enabled them to portray his frequently repeated offer to debate “anytime, anywhere” as an empty bluff. Instead, he gleefully exclaimed, “Let’s get ready to rumble.” Moreover, he proposed additional encounters beyond those offered by the Biden campaign.

"Tellingly, Biden’s people have declined to allow their candidate to face Trump in any other venue or on any other date than they initially proposed — CNN on June 27 and ABC on September 10. Trump has accepted two other debates, including one jointly hosted by NBC News and Telemundo. Considering Biden’s sagging support among Latino voters, his team should leap at the chance to communicate with this crucial voter bloc. Yet Biden’s campaign chair characterized Trump’s interest in this debate as a dirty trick: “No more games. No more chaos. No more debate about debates.” This suggests that the Biden campaign believes it has more to lose than to gain from participating in further debates.

"And they are probably right. This is why Trump isn’t worried about debate rules other than the one requiring his opponent to show up. It will not have been lost on the former president that Biden’s debate challenge was issued in a 14-second video riddled with jump cuts. That such a short video required so much editing doesn’t bode well for Biden’s ability to remain coherent for two hours on live television. Another reason the Biden campaign refuses to consider additional debates may well be that they are in denial about how badly they are really doing in the polls. The Wall Street Journal’s Edward Lawrence asked Democratic pollster and former Clinton advisor Doug Schoen about it and his answer was unambiguous:

‘Something he always said he wouldn’t do’: Douglas Murray lashes Biden on Israel

Sky News Australia  "Author Douglas Murray has lashed President Joe Biden for doing something which he “always said he wouldn’t do” after he told Israel the US would not provide weapons for a Rafah offensive.

"US President Joe Biden has urged Israel not to go ahead with such an operation over fears it would exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave. "Last week, Biden said the United States would not provide offensive weapons for a Rafah invasion, raising pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “'That is a very serious development because a lot of the talk … of the media cycle, particularly in the media, is performative,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “ 'But the really difficult thing here is he actually did something which he always said he wouldn’t do. “ 'He’s always held himself out as a great ally of Israel in its fight for survival … and here he is, in charge, in the White House, withholding arms.' ”

Democrat Town That Voted Overwhelmingly for Joe Biden Furious They Got What They Voted For

 Gateway Pundit: – IOTW Report   "Norfolk, Massachusetts’ 11,500 residents voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden in 2020.

"Now, residents are up in arms that they are getting exactly what they voted for.

"The state announced it is refurbishing the Massachusetts Bay State Correctional Center in Norfolk, which formerly served as a minimum-security dorm-like facility. The move will alleviate the hundreds of illegals currently camped out at Boston’s Logan International Airport and provide housing for six to twelve months.

"But residents are not happy that Biden’s border crisis is coming to their backyard.

"On Wednesday, during a Select Board meeting,  around 300 residents attended the meeting to share their concerns about the influx of illegals into their town and expressed frustration that they were left in the dark about the plans.

"Residents also demanded answers on how the move would impact community services, including schools, emergency services, and the overall town budget. more" . . .

‘Palestinians’ threaten violence against the American troops delivering aid in Gaza

Because of the Gaza pier, the Biden administration has made it immensely harder to free the hostages and end the war.

  Olivia Murray - American Thinker  "In 2014, former Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Robert Gates, said that Joe Biden had made the “wrong” call on “nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue” for the more than 40 years (at that point) he’d been in politics; Obama once famously warned, “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.”

"Joe Biden isn’t qualified to be dog-catcher, yet here he is commanding our military, getting our troops threatened and killed as he bungles the job.

"We’ve got all the death and destruction from the unplanned and idiotic rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan.

"We lost three servicemembers in the Tower 22 drone attack, an assault launched by Iranian-backed terrorists who only have the finances because the Democrats continuously promote and enact policies that enrich Iran.

"We now have “stranded” troops amid Niger’s military coup, a situation which the Biden regime seems to be quietly covering up in an effort to hide his negligence and incompetence.

"And, remember the nighttime boarding of a vessel carrying Iranian weapons on their way to fund more terrorism, an operation in which we lost elite servicemembers? Well, this is all because Iran now has the cash to sponsor more violence—thank you Joe for waging a war on domestic oil, thereby paving the way for Iran to dominate the market once again, and removing the economic sanctions implemented by President Trump." . . .

. . ."Biden has apparently spent more than $300 million on the construction of a pier to ostensibly deliver humanitarian aid, supplies which are subsequently commandeered by Hamas and sold in the Gazan markets—Tawil reports that Hamas has made around $500 million from this seize-and-sell operation, just in the in last seven-and-a-half months.

"As Tawil also notes, as long as Biden keeps sending supplies, Hamas has all the leverage, and will not free any hostages the group may or may not still have, and will not cease waging a war against the state of Israel and her people. Tawil writes this:" . . .


Why Are Women in America Cheering for Hamas and Iran?

"Or: Is something else also at work? Are these female protestors for Hamas so afraid of freedom and so ill-equipped to handle it that they have chosen to appease and support the most dangerous demons on earth by supporting them?" PC

Phyllis Chesler Organization (phyllis-chesler.com)  "Have you noticed that young women all across America are demonstrating for Hamas, Iran, and Palestine? Why would such privileged and educated women, the heirs to the #MeToo movement and to Second and Third Wave Western feminisms, cheer for male rapists and male killers, arguably the most blood-thirsty and sadistic misogynists this side of Ghenghis Khan? Why side with Islamist barbarians who have jailed, tortured, and executed their own women over a slipped Islamic veil, and who would forcibly convert their Western female admirers to Islam, veil them as well, and coerce them into polygamous marriages?

"They are privileged political opportunists posturing as victim-pariahs who feel that they are “occupied” by Western patriarchy.

"Do these educated daughters of affluence understand that were they to express any views deemed dissident in Gaza, Teheran, or Kabul or, were they to announce that they were “queer” or gay, (which is how some of these activists identify themselves), that they would be instantly honor killed?

"In the months since 10/7, in addition to the odious, faux-feminist silence about the gang-rapes of both women and men, the torture of babies and whole families, the kidnapping of civilians — a terrifying tsunami of hatred towards Israel, America, and Jews has exploded into non-stop jihadi-style, belligerent mobs, whose goal is to disrupt civil society and gain both attention and followers for their reprehensible views. The news of Hamas’s pogrom on steroids, unleashed their Jew hatred, and whetted the mob’s appetite for more of same.

"Post Iran’s most recent attack on Israel, in the past few days in New York City, where I live, such activists camped out on the lawn at Columbia University “for Gaza,” “for Hamas,” endangering Jewish students, daring to be arrested. For the first time, Columbia’s President actually had them arrested. Although they were all quickly released, many returned later that same night, with celebrities in tow, to re-constitute their encampment.

"Those who were detained, included the daughter of Democratic Congresswoman and “Squad” member, Ilhan Omar; a young female intern for New York State Attorney General Letitia James; a third young woman who is about to intern for Democratic Senator Dick Durbin; and two daughters of corporate titans. Three of the five are Columbia students.

"Are they stupid? Has their indoctrination into politically correct narratives utterly blinded them to reality? Do they wish to die? How are we meant to understand this?

"Well, some women are famously known to propose marriage to convicted male serial killers, who primarily kill women. One woman actually married the jailed monster, Ted Bundy, got herself impregnated by him, and gave birth to a daughter.

"Maybe this is a familiar form of female ambition, that Beauty can tame the Beast — an even darker version of “Fifty Shades of Gray,” in which girls are attracted to Bad Boys who will, fairy-tale style, ultimately love and marry them.

"On the other hand, and rather paradoxically, the body language of these BLM/Antifa-style female activists is often rather male-like. Most of the female demonstrators are loud, aggressive, angry, arrogant, and young; they shout, bang drums, blow whistles, wear face masks, keffiyehs, sneakers, or combat boots. While Arab Muslim girls in hijab do participate, the majority seem to be bareheaded Caucasian students, and self-identifying lesbian, queer, and transgender activists.

"The Jews and queers among them are not “self-hating” Jews or persecuted queers. Rather, they are privileged political opportunists posturing as victim-pariahs who feel that they are “occupied” by Western patriarchy, just as Palestine has allegedly been occupied by Israel. They are more obsessed with the rights of a country that has never existed than with the rights of their Muslim “sisters.” . . .

How does anyone explain liberal Jews? - American Thinker   . . ."Think of politicians of Jewish heritage such as Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, or Bernie Sanders.  Think of Jewish-origin billionaire oligarchs such as George Soros, Howie Schultz, or Mark Zuckerberg; think of Jewish Hollywood icons such as Barbra Streisand and Rob Reiner. Think of a powerful union leader such as Randi Weingarten, or highly placed Cabinet officials such as Antony Blinken, Alejandro Mayorkas and Merrick Garland, and the list is endless.

Because of their visibility and mostly negative impact, when the world is in turmoil, the need to find a scapegoat rises and history has proven Jews are an easy source/target upon which the world can project its fears and concerns. 
 
"Specific to America, I believe the rise in antisemitism is directly related to the fact that neo-Marxists have penetrated virtually every institution upon which our republic rests, and the results have proven both financially a disaster but also a societal one and Jews are a convenient source to blame.They are largely professionals and thus, have significant visibility.". . . .

Biden abandons American Jews - CarolineGlick.com "Biden’s halt on offensive weapons to Israel is of course a betrayal of Israel. But it is also a betrayal of American Jews.

Importing terror

 Mike McDaniel - American Thinker 

Have they already imported such people into America? Considering it took years for them to admit they’d been flying hundreds of thousands of illegals into America, bet on it. Bet too, on American blood flowing in the streets in the near future.

"Just who are the “Palestinians?” Who are the people living in Gaza? Ethnically, they’re from a variety of local tribes, many from Jordan, and virtually all are Muslim, George W. Bush’s “religion of peace.” Most, at least ¾, are either Islamists or unabashed supporters of Islamists, in this case Hamas. In other words, most Gazans are Islamist terrorists dedicated to the extermination of every Jew and every infidel, which is us. 

"Not many understand Muslims willing to live in peace with the peoples of other faiths are not following the intent or letter of their faith. Islam does not proselytize; it conquers, forcing others to accept Islam or slavery. Islam views women as property, and has no tolerance. In their societies there is no DEI; they’re all dead.

"Palestinian children are indoctrinated from birth to hate Jews and to believe their highest accomplishment in life is to murder Jews—and infidels—and to die in Jihad—holy war. Their “leaders” pay the families of martyrs—“pay to slay.” Billions upon billions in aide poured into Gaza have gone into the pockets of Hamas leaders, the building of terror tunnels and the purchase of weapons.

"We now know many “average” Gazans accompanied Hamas terrorists in their October 7 raid into Israel, where they looted and committed atrocities. They also kidnapped Israelis and Americans, and have served as their captors since. To find much more on Islamists, go here.  

"Keep in mind the Jordanians and Egyptians are refusing to allow any Gazans onto their territory. They know them all too well and want nothing to do with them. Which is why, of course, the Mummified Meat Puppet Administration (MMPA) wants to bring them to America:

People Have a Lot to Say When Biden Posts 'Letter' He Got From Two Little Girls

 Nick Arama – RedState   "Joe Biden is very unpopular. He's not doing well in polls, and he isn't doing well campaigning. So, how can he possibly whip up any interest in his flagging campaign?  highly questionable "letter" from a child.

"In March 2023, Biden got a similar letter from "Charlotte" (another age-contemporary name with Joe) supposedly asking Biden to do something about pay for "ladies" not being "fair." Uh-huh, because that's what a little kid is busy thinking about. Not. Plus, it was a ridiculous Democratic talking point being emphasized at that time."

The Genocide Libel Is the Blood Libel of Our Time

 Dennis Prager; American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

The only genocide in the Israel-Palestinian war is the one Hamas and Iran seek to perpetrate against the Jews of Israel.

Even if the media give these new numbers the attention it has given to the alleged “genocide,” it will not end a single anti-Israel demonstration or cause one Israel-hater to cease accusing Israel of genocide. Since the accusation was never based on truth, truth will not end it.+ 

The Greatest Libel Since the Blood Libel

"'In medieval Europe, Christians who hated Jews spread the lie that Jews kidnap Christian children, slaughter them, and use their blood to bake matzos for Passover. This lie became known as “the Blood Libel,” probably the greatest libel in history. Over the course of many centuries, Jews were tortured and murdered, often by being burned alive, because of the Blood Libel.

"The Blood Libel was particularly odious in light of two facts: it was the Jews who, through their Bible, first outlawed human sacrifice, and one of the first laws in the Hebrew Bible is a ban on consuming blood.

"For centuries, Jews had to confront the fact that all around them, throughout Europe, a vast number of people believed an enormous lie about them. Jews have to confront the same thing today. We are now living through the Second Blood Libel: the claim that the Jewish state is committing genocide. But, unlike the first Blood Libel, this libel is not the product of Christians; it is the product of Muslims and the left. The very people against whom the greatest genocide in recorded history—the Holocaust—was directed are now accused of the very same crime.

"According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, in 1948, there were 1,380,000 Palestinians in Israel and the greater Palestine area, and as of 2022, there were seven million. In other words, there are now five times as many Palestinians in the Palestinian territories and in Israel as there were in 1948.

"Now, as I have said all my life, truth is both a liberal and conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. Yet, given these figures, even leftists would be forced to acknowledge that Israel has never had the slightest inclination to perpetrate genocide against the Palestinians. People targeted for genocide do not increase their numbers—let alone by a factor of five.

"What the left and their Muslim allies claim is that since Oct. 7, Israel has presumably changed its mind and decided to commit genocide against Palestinians (though, apparently, only in Gaza, not in the West Bank).

"Here are some facts that explain why the charge of “Israeli genocide” is as much a lie as was the Blood Libel:

"First, as Israeli officials have repeatedly stated, if Hamas released the hostages and surrendered, Israel would cease its bombing of Gaza. That was precisely the condition that the United States and its allies offered Japan and Germany: unconditional surrender, and the bombing of Japanese and German cities would immediately cease.

"Second, World War II brings us more proof that the charge of Israeli genocide is a lie. No one ever accused America or Britain of committing genocide against Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. Even those who now maintain that the Allied bombing of Dresden and other German cities was morally wrong do not accuse the United States or Britain of having committed genocide. So why is Israel so charged?

"Third, during World War II . . .

Five Quick Things: Did Biden Betray Israel, Or Did Biden's Brain Betray Him?

 And does it even matter? - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  "Functionally, the answer to the question in the headline is that it really doesn’t matter and we might now finally have that moment, that utter and complete gaffe-tastic meltdown, which starts to serve as the wrong move that brings the Jenga tower down around Dirty Joe.

"I have my doubts about this, though my take — one which was shared by David Catron but not at all by Melissa Mackenzie in an excellent episode of The Spectacle podcast this week — is that eventually, the weight of these serial meltdowns will be too much for the Democrats to overcome. (READ MORE: Macklemore Shows Biden Between a Rock and a Hamas Place)

"What are we talking about? Well, this:


. . ."If I had to make a call on this debacle, I would say that the administration’s position hasn’t changed and its holdup of the precision bomb shipment to the Israelis was more about yanking Bibi Netanyahu’s chain than it was shifting sides to supporting Hamas.
"I would come down on the side of “senior moment” here.
"But that said, Team Biden doesn’t support Israel. They can’t turn out the Arab vote in Michigan by supporting Israel and know that Jewish money, which is an incredible half of the flow into the Democrat Party’s coffers (as opposed to only 25 percent of the RNC’s donor flow), is in no real jeopardy of drying up even if they don’t support Israel." . . .
