The judge presiding over former President Trump’s New York criminal trial notified his defense team on Friday of a comment on the court's public Facebook page that implies one of the jurors discussed the guilty verdict ahead of time. [cut] The profile for "Michael Anderson" has little publicly available information, but the user identifies himself as a "Transabled & professional sh-- poster." A Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital they are "investigating the matter." Al Baker, state OCA spokesperson, said Friday that "as appropriate, the Court informed the parties once it learned of this online content."

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!!!! ❤️” Theoretically, if the comment is found to be true and a juror was discussing the verdict of the case with their cousin, Justice Merchan could rule a mistrial. Given his record of rulings against Trump...

In the furor over America’s campuses, it was easy to miss the letter that 500 of Columbia University’s Jews penned and signed to present their position in their own voice. Yet it was this letter, quietly distributed and far less aggressive than some of the other events that overshadowed it, that may prove to be the turning point in the struggle for American Jewry’s future. This is why. Twenty years ago, just after the second intifada, I went on a tour of American and Canadian campuses. Shaken by what I saw and heard, I told (then) Prime Minister Ariel Sharon...

Two separate Christian families in Vermont are suing the Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF) after the state blocked them from fostering children. Brian and Kaitlyn Wuoti and Michael and Rebecca Gantt filed the suit on Tuesday after the state alleged that they’d be unable to be foster parents, as they wouldn’t follow leftist ideas when it comes to gender identity. An exclusive report by The Daily Signal noted that the state of Vermont is in need of more foster families. In 2023, Vermont DCF noted that there were roughly 1,060 kids in state custody and only about 900...

Tell me you have too much time on your hands without telling me you have too much time on your hands. On Wednesday, just before the Senate voted against the Americans for Contraception (AFC) Act, a group set up a giant 20-foot intrauterine device (IUD) in front of Washington D.C.’s Union Station, across from the U.S. Capitol building. An IUD is a form of hormonal birth control that is about the size of a quarter and is inserted into a woman’s uterus. It works by making the uterus a hostile environment for an egg by thickening the cervical mucus 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...

" And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." "Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing." Revelation 11 1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood,...

Three teenagers have been arrested after they allegedly vandalized a Pride flag-painted intersection in Spokane, Washington by leaving skid marks with the Lime scooters they were riding on. Police received a 911 call about multiple people on scooters "causing damage to the newly painted Pride mural" on June 5 just after 9 pm, according to the Spokane Police Department. Four suspects were reportedly seen damaging the mural, while several witnesses said that one of the subjects yelled obscenities at them before leaving the area. Officers said the damage to the mural was "black scuff marks consistent with scooter wheels," and...

A new letter obtained from transgender killer Audrey Hale revealed that prior to killing three adults and three nine-year-olds at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville, Tennessee, she wrote about her “imaginary penis” and how she would “kill” to get puberty blockers. Back in March of 2023, Audrey Hale shot and killed three individuals before being shot down by law enforcement. Now, just over a year later, four dozen pages of Hale’s writings have been obtained. Those writings include notes of her delusional sense of identity and mental confusion, which led to her attack on the school. The Tennessee Star...

Northern Irish singer Rose-Marie Kane has died suddenly aged 68. Tributes poured in on Friday as her heartbroken family and friends announced she passed away at her second home in Blackpool on social media. The Northern Ireland singer, originally from County Down, released 19 albums throughout her career and sold out the London Palladium on several occasions.

This foolish, silly woman. The chutzpah of this charlatan masquerading as a “pastor” (LOL) is nothing short of hilarity. Her contempt for apostolic authority and her mangled interpretation of Scripture are comedic gold. Suggesting that Paul “needs to sit down”—as if a novice could lecture an apostle—is peak delusion. Claiming Lydia as the “first church planter”? That’s rich. Twisting her story into a feminist fairy tale is as transparent as it is laughable. And the wild, baseless leap to insinuate that Lydia might have been a lesbian? Pure fiction, not theology. This parody of a sermon is a textbook example...

A stray comment was posted to Facebook only a day before a jury convicted Donald Trump in a New York court last week in which the poster said his cousin was a juror on the Trump case and that a conviction was imminent. He thanked the court for their service.

Enhancing civilian-military planning was discussed at the time, as well as developing local forces in potential crisis zones. They sought to train civilian specialists from separate member states to work alongside military personnel. It also declares that as long as nuclear weapons exist, NATO will remain a nuclear powerhouse. Their plan for world peace, which the neocons simply do not want, is to disarm the rest of the world so that only NATO may be in control. “With the changes in the security environment since the end of the Cold War, we have dramatically reduced the number of nuclear weapons...

on Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs halted all team activities after defensive lineman BJ Thompson suffered a seizure and soon after went into cardiac arrest during a special teams meeting. In a statement on Thursday night, Thompson’s agent Chris Turnage said, “BJ is still unconscious at this point, but he’s stable, and his vitals are good.” “His family asks for your continued prayers,” added Turnage. Despite canceling all activities on Thursday, the Chiefs are expected to resume practice on Friday.

PragerU announced on Friday that Google took down its app from the Google Play Store, accusing the organization of “hate speech” over its documentary Dear Infidels: A Warning to America. PragerU published a screenshot of message from Google, in which the tech giant notified the organization of its suspension due to content on its app “asserting that a protected group is inhuman, inferior or worthy of being hated.” “We don’t allow apps that promote violence, or incite hatred against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or...

Controversial progressive pundit Briahna Joy Gray has been fired from The Hill after she appeared to roll her eyes as she interviewed the sister of an Israeli woman taken hostage by Hamas. 'It finally happened. The Hill has fired me,' Gray said on X on Thursday alongside an image of her notice of termination from the outlet. She added: 'There should be no doubt that @RisingHill has a clear pattern of suppressing speech — particularly when it’s critical of the state of Israel.'

Just saw an ad on Facebook that I thought was a great idea. It was what looked like $100 bill folded in half. When you opened it , it says Trump 2024 on the other side. Perfect to drop in the grocery store aisle or any other busy place with people. I know, it's littering but oh well. Wished I knew how to post a picture here. Anyway, I bought 40 of them.

Transgender killer Audrey Hale wrote about her 'imaginary penis' and how she would 'kill' to get puberty blockers in the weeks before her horrific attack on the Covenant School in Nashville last year. The Tennessee Star obtained some four dozen pages of Hale's writings that shed light on her female-to-male transition and why she shot and killed six people at the elementary school in March 2023. Hale wrote about anger toward her parents, how she hated her conservative Christian upbringing, and how she had suffered because hormone blockers were not available when she was as a child.

Petrified Columbia University students who have felt “harassed and intimidated” by anti-Israel protests which have gripped their college and disrupted learning for months will be provided safety escorts on campus. The move is part of a settlement in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, where the Ivy League school will now offer “walking escorts” across campus and appoint a “safe passage liaison” to address any students concerns over protests. Additionally, accommodations will be made for students who were displaced by the protests and couldn’t finish exams or assignments. It resolves a proposed class action filed by a...
