| 3 July 2024 | Brooke Singman
Judge Juan Merchan has delayed former President Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump
to September, after requests from the presumptive Republican nominee to do so, and no opposition from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump was found guilty in an unprecedented criminal trial last month on all counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, following a six-week trial stemming from Bragg's investigation. Trump on Monday moved to overturn his criminal conviction in the Manhattan case after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a former president has substantial immunity for official acts committed while in office. He also...

Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) said Monday he will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court ruling issued Monday, which largely shields former presidents from criminal prosecution for actions in office. “I
will introduce a constitutional amendment to reverse SCOTUS’ harmful decision and ensure that no president is above the law. This amendment will do what SCOTUS failed to do—prioritize our democracy,” Morelle wrote on the social platform X.

Former President Donald J. Trump over the weekend escalated his vows to prosecute his political opponents, circulating posts on his social media website invoking “televised military tribunals” and calling for the jailing of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Mike Pence, among
other high-profile politicians. Mr. Trump, using his account on Truth Social on Sunday, promoted two posts from other users of the site that called for the jailing of his perceived political enemies. One post that he circulated on Sunday singled out Liz Cheney, the former Wyoming congresswoman who...

Trump seeks to set aside New York hush money verdict hours after Supreme Court ruling

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for later this month. The
letter to Judge Juan M. Merchan cited the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling earlier Monday and asked the judge to delay Trump’s sentencing while he weighs the high court’s decision and how it could influence the New York case, according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press. The lawyers argue that the Supreme Court’s decision confirmed a position the defense raised earlier in the...

In 2018, a study of aerial photos of 700 Pacific Islands showed that 89% were the same size or growing. This
rather destroyed the idea that sea levels were swallowing small nations. The New York Times said nothing. Indeed, the only Pacific things shrinking were deserted sand drifts. No islands bigger than 10 hectares were getting smaller. Measured in square kilometers that’s “0.1”. Despite the media headlines and delegations from Kiribati and Tuvulu begging for money to hold back the tide, no islands with people living on them were shrinking. None, not one island in the Pacific big enough to...

Back there in the Stone Age of February, 2024, the New York Post headlined: Jill Biden and Dems committed elder abuse on Joe — now they must force him to step aside Among other things the Post Editorial Board wrote: As part of special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Joe Biden, he
reviewed interviews conducted by a ghostwriter with Biden after he left office. The former vice president was “painfully slow,” Hur’s report notes, with ” limited precision and recall.” This is in 2017 — three full years before he ran for president. What Hur has proven is that Joe...

President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American democracy. Donald
Trump has proved himself to be a significant jeopardy to that democracy — an erratic and self-interested figure unworthy of the public trust. He systematically attempted to undermine the integrity of elections. His supporters have described, publicly, a 2025 agenda that would give him the power to carry out the most extreme of his promises and threats. If he is returned to office, he has vowed to be a different kind of president, unrestrained by the...

Decoding New York’s Legalese: President Trump Was Wrongly Prosecuted and Convicted

The corruption of the law in the Manhattan case against President Donald J. Trump should shock every American, and the devil is in the details of the law, the prosecution, the judge, the jury, and the conviction. There
were two financial accounts referred to in the prosecution. The first is a revocable trust fund for Donald J. Trump which was created just after he became president, and the second is the personal account of Donald J. Trump. The indictment indicates that Trump received invoices from Michael Cohen where each invoice was then added to the general accounting ledger with a...

Sometimes people do things that have extreme spiritual significance without even realizing it. When
I watched Jonathan Cahn’s latest video on Tuesday, I knew that I had to write about what just happened in New York City. From June 16th through June 19th, a 270 foot dragon was wrapped around the Empire State Building. In addition, giant banners that featured dragons with the ominous message “All Must Choose” were draped over iconic landmarks all over the Big Apple, and restaurants throughout the city were featuring dragon-themed menu items. All of this was being done to promote the second season of...

Who Added an Algorithm to New York State’s Voter Registration Roll, and Why?

Dr. Andrew Paquette, who serves as research director of the all-volunteer citizens’ group New York Citizens Audit (NYCA), has proven that New York state’s voter registration roll now contains an algorithm designed to facilitate election fraud.One must understand how voter registration data works to appreciate just how serious this is. All
registration data is predicated on algorithms, which are basically equations added into the registration in chronological sequence to transform a voter identification number (“Voter ID No.”) into a code. In an honest system, the voter who registers first gets Voter ID No. 1, the second voter to register gets...

SCOTUS Ruling Deems Trump’s New York Conviction Unconstitutional on Two Key Grounds
|

The People's Voice ^
| June 25, 2024 | Staff
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) delivered two precedent-setting rulings that could significantly impact former President Donald Trump’s criminal convictions. In
a decisive 6-3 decision in the Erlinger vs United States case, the Supreme Court ruled that juries must be unanimous on each criminal count, a standard not met in Trump’s New York case, where the jury returned a 4-4-4 verdict on the underlying crime. This ruling underlines that Trump’s conviction was unconstitutional and must be overturned. During Trump’s New York trial, the judge had instructed the jury that unanimity on the specific crimes was unnecessary, as long...

Reps. Lauren Boebert and Jamaal Bowman couldn't be more different politically - but their careers have followed similar arcs. Both
were first elected in 2020, defeating entrenched incumbents in the primary. They have both become nationally famous (and infamous) avatars of the far right and far left, respectively. Both won reelection underwhelmingly in 2022, and both of their political careers could come to an ignominious end on June 25, 2024, as they once again face serious challengers in their respective primaries. Boebert's and Bowman's primaries are just two of the many tense contests taking place on a jam-packed election day...
