The two patently political, unjust federal cases brought by Jack Smith against Trump, plus two New York and one Georgia cases will likely be dismissed. Trump’s election – God willing – ends that sad, perverse, abusive chapter in American history, election interference by prosecutors. Is that it? Photo Credit: Gage Skidmore | Flickr The question – Is that it? – suggests thinking about how laws, practiced fairly, judiciously, and thoughtfully – are supposed to work. For every wrong, there is meant to be a remedy. These cases may wither, but what of the wrong? The famous judicial philosopher Montesquieu noted,...

Several Republican lawmakers want Congress to strip the security clearances of dozens of former U.S. intelligence officials who worked against President Trump in 2020 by asserting that information in the laptop of Hunter Biden was likely Russian disinformation. Republicans have called for accountability from the 51 intelligence officials who were accused of helping Democratic presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2020, by issuing a joint letter stating that the information in the laptop bore the hallmarks of an operation by Moscow. Hunter Biden is the president’s oft-troubled son, and the FBI later verified the authenticity of the...

A group campaigning for Kamala Harris served union workers in Wisconsin an “insulting” lunch — possibly put together by “prison labor” — as it made their 2024 pitch for the vice president last month, a tradesman told The Post. The uninspiring meal — consisting of a “single-slice-of-ham sandwich” on “stale” store-brand bread, a bag of chips and a “tiny apple” — was accompanied by an uninspiring speech, bashing President-elect Donald Trump, that workers building a $1 billion Microsoft data center in Racine County were subjected to on Oct. 21. “I mean, it’s not like we were expecting a steak dinner,...

A space rocket program manager butchered her father with an ice axe on Election Night after a breakdown following President-elect Trump’s victory — and was found smiling and clapping covered in her loved one’s blood, cops said. Corey Burke considered the bloody rampage – in which she allegedly strangled, bit and hacked her 67-year-old father in the $800,000 Seattle home they shared – to be an “act of liberation,” charging documents allege. Burke, 33, is a training program manager at Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos’ spacecraft company, according to her LinkedIn, and is married to prominent transgender writer Samantha Leigh Allen,...

The elitist attacks on Donald Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth show exactly why Democrats lost the election in a landslide. Intelligent, articulate, patriotic, a graduate of Princeton and Harvard, a combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with two Bronze Stars, Hegseth, 44, is an inspired choice to lead the Pentagon and rid it of the woke poison that has sent recruitment levels down the toilet. Not only that, but he has a tattoo of “We the People” on his arm, a visible sign of his America First commitment to the Constitution, whose first words remind us that...

It’s time to make your echo chamber great again. In 2024, that means curating your world to exclude those who voted for the 45th and, now, 47th president, Donald J. Trump. Especially if those voters are close friends or family members — slap the ban on them. Just say no to sharing a plate of Thanksgiving yams with your Trump-supporting aunt, even if she voted for Obama twice and Hillary in 2016. It’s the doctor’s orders! Last Friday, MSNBC’s resident Chicken Little, Joy “Democracy is Falling” Reid, welcomed to her show Yale psychiatrist Dr. Amanda Calhoun — who dished out...

Special counsel Jack Smith asked a federal appellate court on Wednesday to halt his appeal in President-elect Donald Trump’s classified documents case, citing the results of the 2024 election. “As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, one of the defendants in this case, Donald J. Trump, is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025,” Smith wrote to the Atlanta-based 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals. “The Government respectfully requests that the Court hold this appeal in abeyance — and stay the deadline for the Government’s reply brief,...

A top Federal Election Commission official has accused the Department of Justice of violating federal policies and targeting “perceived political opponents” for a letter it sent to Elon Musk. FEC Chairman Sean Cooksey argued that the agency’s actions amounted to efforts “to intimidate and chill private citizens and organizations from campaigning on behalf of President Trump” and tried to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election... “The underlying motivation behind this stunt is obvious,” Cooksey said after comparing the DOJ’s warning letter to the 1972 Watergate scandal. “Employees of President Biden’s Department of Justice wanted to stop an independent...

“The wisdom from above is first pure” (James 3:17). A pure life is necessary for a wise life. A person whose life is characterized by true wisdom will seek to be pure. The Greek word translated “pure” in James 3:17 refers to spiritual integrity and moral sincerity. It is freedom from bitter jealousy, selfish ambition, and arrogant self-promotion. Christ is the perfect example of purity (1 John 3:3). A true believer will have pure desires. The deepest part of him desires to do God’s will, serve God, and love God. In Romans 7:15-21 the apostle Paul testifies that when he...

The feud between brothers Rudolf and Michael Schenker is ongoing – and it sounds like it will keep the latter musician from participating in Scorpions’ 60th anniversary. During an appearance on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk (as relayed by Blabbermouth), Michael was asked if there was any chance he’d rejoin the band for their anniversary celebration, taking place July 5, 2025 in the group's hometown, Hannover, Germany. "No,” the rocker flatly replied, noting the frayed relationship with his brother. “I just know that I have been a very big part of creating Rudolf as a musician. I don't think...

Vice President Kamala Harris frequently touted her prosecutorial bona fides on the campaign trail, probably sensing political peril in boosting her prior support for soft-on-crime policies. Yet she refused to say how she voted on California’s Proposition 36 to restore tough penalties for drugs and theft, despite its overwhelming backing in public surveys. (The measure sailed through with 70% support — the highest margin for any contested referendum in recent California history.) Harris hedged because she was stuck between a rock (public opinion) and a hard place (her political benefactors including leftist billionaire George Soros). The results in prosecutor races...

Cellular carriers have told Congress they possess intact phone usage data from the vicinity where two pipe bombs were planted during the Jan. 6 incident, directly disputing FBI testimony that agents couldn't identify a suspect because the phone data was corrupted, a key House chairman tells Just the News. The revelations from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, adds new intrigue to a debate that has gripped Washington for nearly four years: Why can't the FBI with so much evidence and manpower identify the suspect who planted the explosive devices at the Democrat and...

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard, has been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda and would come to the job having never worked in the intelligence world or served on a congressional intelligence committee. ... In her public statements, Gabbard has often been at odds with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessments. If she is confirmed, her tenure would most likely be marked by clashes with government analysts who see Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government as the primary purveyor of disinformation designed to sow divisions in the U.S. Outraged lawmakers accused Gabbard two years...

A Secret Service agent has been fired after his ex-girlfriend revealed that he took her to the Obamas' Hawaii estate to have sex in the bathroom 'like a mile-high club.' Koryeah Dwanyen revealed the lurid details between herself and an agent, whom she only named as 'Dale,' in her book 'Undercover Heartbreak: a Memoir of Trust and Trauma.' The book, which released on October 28, reveals that in 2022, 'Dale' showed him pictures of the residence before daring her to come with. 'No one will know. If anything, I'm the one who could get in trouble,' Dwanyen claims the agent...

We gather that Juilliard has summarily fired a professor of violin after he was caught in what is said to be ‘a lewd act’. Apart from two witnesses who opened the door of his studio and reported the act, no other person was involved. An email has gone out to parents. Around 30 students have been left without a teacher. Other professors are being urged to take one or two more onto their roster. The sacked professor’s named has been deleted from the Juilliard website. We await clarification. The professor has a distinguished record. His past pupils play in major...

Hip implants with a delta ceramic or oxidized zirconium head and highly crosslinked polyethylene liner or cup had the lowest risk of revision during the 15 years after surgery, a new study has found. The research could help hospitals, surgeons and patients to choose what hip implant to use for replacement surgery. The aim of the study was to establish hip implant materials at risk of revision, to help orthopedic surgeons and patients, and to improve shared decision making before surgery by identifying hip implants with the lowest risk of revision. The researchers analyzed National Joint Registry (NJR) data from...
