While the Biden administration continues prosecuting pro-life Americans, Mark Houck is fighting back in court. Pro-life group 40 Days for Life filed a lawsuit recently against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for “[m]alicious/retaliatory prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest and related claims” committed against pro-life advocate and Catholic father of seven Mark Houck. In 2022, Houck was indicted by the DOJ for two alleged violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Houck was eventually exonerated on the bogus charges Biden officials brought. The lawsuit claims that these charges “were a result of a faulty and...

Nothing democrats do or say or try is stopping Trump. They're willing to rip up the Constitution and tear apart the country to do it. Nothing is working. They tried a fake dossier in 2016. They stole the election in 2020 by creating a false narrative about Hunter Biden's laptop. They concocted a scheme in New York City that's so confusing no democrat can really tell you what happened. They got their conviction after a handpicked Trump hating democrat donor judge guided a jury to convict Trump and made sure his daughter would continue to profit from the trial. And...

They’re coming for you next: This story provides possibly the best illustration of the barbarism of the Democratic Party and the Biden administration. Rather than celebrate the courage of Ethan Haim, the doctor who in 2023 blew the whistle on the continuing secret sex change operations being performed on children as young as 11 at Texas Children’s Hospital, the Biden Justice Department this week indicted that doctor on four felony charges...... A civilized society would honor Haim for his willingness to expose Texas Children’s Hospital’s continuing child abuse. The Biden administration and the Democrats who run it and control the...

BREAKING: NY Judge Merchan Informs Lawyers of ‘My Cousin is a Juror, Trump is Getting Convicted’ Facebook Post Left on NY Court Page, Pre-Verdict.In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️”The fact that the judge has written to the involved parties may indicate...

The FBI on Wednesday arrested four men from Pennsylvania on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges related to the January 6 protest. 75-year-old retired NASCAR driver Tighe Scott and his son Carl Scott, 48, Scott Slater Sr. 56, and Scott Alex Slater Jr., 26 were arrested on Wednesday. Via the Justice Department:

Eithan Haim blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital’s illegal child sex-change program. Now he’s being prosecuted. A few years ago, Texas Children’s Hospital made no secret of its support for transgender medicine. Its doctors proudly administered puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and other medical interventions to children who self-identified as “trans.” Then the tone shifted. In the face of public pressure, CEO Mark Wallace announced that he was shutting down the child gender clinic. But doctors at the hospital, including Richard Ogden Roberts, David Paul, and Kristy Rialon, never stopped. The public would not have known if not for a...

Judge orders Trump ally Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1 to serve 4-month sentence

A Christian business selling dog tags with Bible verses won a legal victory this week in its long fight to overturn a government ban on its business. The business in question, Shields of Strength, is run by Kenny and Tammie Vaughan and sells an array of Christian-themed inspirational jewelry. The business created military dog tags for U.S. service members, selling two million and donating another 2 million to inspire and encourage American troops. However, after one group complained about the effort, the U.S. Department of Defense in 2019 ordered Shields of Strength to stop distributing the dog tags, saying they...

Former and potentially future President Donald Trump was found "guilty" last Thursday on 34 felony counts in a hush money "trial." It's not just Trump they're going after, though with a weaponized and politicized justice system. As we've been covering, President Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) has been quite eager to prosecute prayerful pro-life activists using the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, including an elderly grandfather. Since then, more grandparents have been sentenced, including grandmothers in poor health. Late last month, 59-year-old Heather Idoni was sentenced to 24 years in prison. She's already been incarcerated for...

Multiple legal experts have cited multiple legal reasons why Trump’s guilty verdict is likely to be overturned on appeal. I am listing some of their reasons here, but there are a lot more reasons at the links:Judges are supposed to be chosen at random. But this judge was selected on purpose.Judges aren’t supposed to make political donations. But this judge had donated to multiple anti-trump organizations.The main crime that Trump was convicted of was a misdemeanor, and the statute of limitations had expired. However, the prosecutor updated it to a felony, and used some other crime to avoid the statute...

Licensed gun owner Donald Trump will have to turn over all of his firearms in the coming weeks now that he has been found guilty of felonies in the Manhattan “hush money” case. Under New York state and federal law, convicted felons are banned from possessing any type of firearm, and the former president must have his weapons legally passed off to another person or surrendered to authorities by his July 11 sentencing, criminal defense attorney Peter Tilem said. “There is no grace period,” Tilem told The Post. “You are federally prohibited once you are convicted.”…

The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an unprecedented verdict against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee just months before the 2024 election. The verdict is likely to be appealed by Trump’s legal team, however, and experts say the final decision in Trump’s hush-money trial could come down to a ruling from the highest court in the land. Attorney Roger Severino, who is the vice president of Domestic Policy...

Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first.

Verdict in.

The Justice Department (DOJ) appeared to investigate a conservative parental rights group in the same manner that it investigated the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), according to a news report on Wednesday. The DOJ's Community Relations Service monitored the group Mom's for Liberty alongside certain racist emblems, like a noose, the Confederate flag, and a Swastika. The same tactic was used when monitoring the KKK and the Oath Keepers, according to internal emails obtained by the Daily Wire. The Community Relations Service says its role is “preventing and responding to community tensions and hate crimes, bias, bullying, and discrimination." One way...

E. Jean Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan taunted Trump with a new lawsuit following his Memorial Day weekend posts on Truth Social in which he defended himself against the lawfare trials. ..... Snip..... President Trump over Memorial Day weekend blasted the lawfare cases against him. Without mentioning E. Jean Carroll’s name, Trump went off on her bogus case against him. “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that...

Jason Goodman is an independent journalist and host of the show Crowd Source the Truth. He comes on to discuss covering the Trump trial in NYC, the lawfare occurring, his video that went viral with Norm Eisen and much more. I am watching for a second time this morning and taking notes. Jason is a really good investigative journalist and the government has gone after him too.

Now, first, before we get this legal deep dive going, let’s be clear. We haven’t seen Professor Turley call for jury nullification—not even by a proverbial wink. What we are saying is that what he is documenting is enough for us to say if this author was on the jury, we would engage in jury nullification. Why? In order to vindicate Trump’s constitutional rights. Mr. Turley published a thread that started with this post: The Hill is out with my column on the closing arguments scheduled for next week in the Trump trial. A hung jury seems the most likely...

The Donald Trump New York City farce is on the way to being over. The prosecution (at least) rested after what would’ve been a disastrous performance by Michael Cohen in any other trial, but the standard rules don’t apply here because this is not actually a trial. This trial has nothing to do with law. It is a scummy attempt to frame a political opponent of the Democrats to keep him from winning an election against the desiccated old pervert in the White House. Normally, a jury would laugh this case out of court, except that it would never have...
