Megyn Kelly warns Democrats that they have opened "Pandora's box" by prosecuting former President Trump. "Who's getting indicted next? Joe Biden? Maybe Jill Biden? How low can we go? You may not want to see it, but that ship has already left port." MEGYN KELLY: This whole scheme, and here it is the proper word is corrupt. It's a before and after moment for America. What just happened today is a line we can't uncross, and these Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate. I'm not talking about violence; I'm talking about...

I’m in Tel Aviv getting ready for a night on the town. This week in the IDF was great! Here are my impressions: This Week’s Mission: Packing boxes of shelf stable food for frontline troops in Gaza. Team: 50 people from around the world with many Brits, Aussies, Canadians, Americans, Brazilians, etc. Unlike last week’s uniquely fit team, many of the participants had compromised health situations. Clearly they were chosen for this work because many roles were seated along an assembly line, and the physical requirements were limited. Results: 44,000 meals assembled and shipped into Gaza. Base: A large base...

Members of the establishment media appeared enthusiastically overjoyed after a jury convicted former President Donald Trump on Thursday. The media’s excitement about the conviction appears to unmask its bias towards President Joe Biden and his campaign for reelection against Trump, who leads in the polls. “When there is a verdict, there is a DC bar special for that,” Washingtonian magazine posted on Instagram. “Trump guilty bar deals have begun,” the publican said, touting the bars celebrating the conviction. Washington Post’s columnist Ruth Marcus “resoundingly” approved of the conviction based on “serious consideration of the evidence.

The Kremlin said on Friday that Donald Trump's guilty verdict showed that all legal and illegal means were being used in the United States to get rid of political rivals.

“Independent voters in New York who traditionally vote for Democrats, according to exit polling, have flipped to lean toward Trump by a margin of 10 points, 43% to 33%,” Kimball said in a statement. A Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won New York in the general election since 1984, when President Ronald Reagan beat former Vice President Walter Mondale by an 8-point margin. In 2016, Trump lost the Empire State to Hillary Clinton by a 22.5-point margin, and in 2020, Biden defeated the former president by 23.2 points in New York.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday announced a sizeable fundraising haul in the wake of his guilty verdict in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case. A New York jury on Thursday found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records after a weeks-long trial. The verdict appears to have energized his supporters, however, as the campaign's donation page crashed, evidently due to the volume of traffic.

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...

Don't ask me why I was reading this the day before. I hadn't read it since 1990. I've always wondered if preppers also prepare for arrest. "...people arrested who were guilty of nothing and were therefore uprepared to put up any resistance whatsoever." " Universal innocence also gave rise to the universal failure to act. Maybe they won't take you? Maybe it will all blow over? A. I. Ladyzhensky was the chief teacher in a school in remote Kologriv. In 1937 a peasant approached him in an open market and passed him a message from a third person: "Aleksandr Ivanich,...

Joe Biden‘s campaign said, with no hint of irony, that Donald Trump’s conviction on Thursday is evidence that “no one is above the law.” “In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law,” campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement. “Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,” Tyler said. “But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. “There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at...

Imagine a world where gas stations are replaced by charging stations. Does that sound weird or cool? Well, that’s the future 12 U.S. states are hurtling towards by phasing out the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles. California pioneered this ambitious plan to fight air pollution by encouraging residents to buy electric cars. A domino effect has begun following California’s lead, with 11 states lining up to follow suit. In August 2022, California decided to ban the sales of gas-powered cars by 2035. It’s a big step in fighting climate change since ICEs constitute a significant cause of air pollution. However,...

Brame appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss Biden’s recent speech at Morehouse College and her appearance at Trump’s Bronx rally last week. Following a clip played back of Biden’s speech addressing HBCU graduates, Fox host Jesse Watters asked Brame whether Biden’s speech tactics, regarding the alleged attacks on black voters, sink in with the Democratic key voting bloc. “Just sitting here listening to that, I feel like vomiting,” Brame stated. “For...

VIDEOShannon Bream of Fox News, who obviously does NOT do her homework, is now being cited by leftist "journalists" as "proof" that the Biden DOJ is not influencing local cases against President Trump.
