Imagine your complete personal financial destruction. All it takes is a deranged District Attorney and a deranged judge who hold a different political view, i.e. the democrat view. We have that deranged DA in Letitia James, the DA of NY. She campaigned on getting Donald Trump, who she called "an illegitimate President", and is making good on that. She brought charges on a victimless civil violation solely aimed at Donald Trump. No one in history was ever found liable under the statute in question when no money was lost. No one complained. No one aside from Trump was charged- not...

The latest discoveries were made by Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) instrument as part of the James Webb Observations of Young ProtoStars (JOYS+) program and revealed key chemical ingredients astronomers are looking for in the search for distant worlds that could be home to life.Given that they are young protostars, IRAS 2A and IRAS 23385 do not appear to have planets in orbits around them yet. However, the detections of organic molecules around them are promising indicators for regions of future habitability.Along with the detection of ethanol, MIRI has also detected what astronomers believe is probably acetic acid, an ingredient commonly...

and citing a Supreme Court ruling on New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen, that New York’s law was unconstitutional and that the ability to carry a pistol in public was a constitutional right.

The judge’s ruling claims that the statute under which Carbajal-Flores was charged does not align with the nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation and, therefore, cannot be used to strip him of his Second...

During the latest episode of his Rumble podcast on Sunday, the director called a victory for Trump in 2024's general election a "legitimate fear."
