federal judge ruled Tuesday that former President Trump may not request to move his hush money criminal case to federal court after failing to show “good cause,” meaning the case will remain in New York state court. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said in a four-page order that the two reasons Trump offered as to why his case should be removed — that New York courts were biased against him and that his trial judge did not adequately review the issue of presidential immunity — fall short. Hellerstein said that district courts do not have jurisdiction to consider alleged bias...

Trump's hush-money sentencing is scheduled for September 18 in Manhattan. But his lawyers plan to throw a monkey wrench that could delay things until well after Election Day. That legal maneuver is massive and has a name: presidential immunity. Donald Trump's rap sheet is a work in progress these days. Under the former president's current court schedule, he will greet Election Day as a sentenced felon. But legal scholars predict Trump is about to use his new presidential immunity powers to execute an unprecedented legal maneuver, one that will delay his hush-money sentencing, now set for September 18, until well...

Another damning indictment against “habitual liar” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz came courtesy of four veterans who served with the vice presidential nominee ahead of a premiere slamming the “coward.” If the Democratic Party thought that concerns about their vice presidential nominee allegedly committing stolen valor could be swept under the rug, radio host Megyn Kelly had an interview to prove how wrong they were. Ahead of the Monday debut of a discussion with Minnesota National Guard veterans, the commentator teased impressions of Walz that raised the question, “What are you gonna do at the national level?” As Kelly posited, “Why...

University removes Anglo-Saxon from module titles to 'decolonise the curriculum' By Ed Holt Published: 04:25 EDT, 1 September 2024 | Updated: 04:49 EDT, 1 September 2024 e-mail 125 shares 1k View comments A university has removed the term Anglo-Saxon from module titles in a bid to 'decolonise the curriculum.' The University of Nottingham is removing the expression from a number of courses, including History and English Literature, and replacing it with the more favoured 'Early Medieval English.' Academics have been campaigning to replace Anglo-Saxon with 'Early Medieval English' due to concern the former suggests a distinct, native Englishness.

(Reuters) -Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday reposted a lewd social media remark about Vice-President Kamala Harris, the latest in a volley of demeaning attacks by Republicans against Trump's Democratic rival. The comment was made by another Truth Social media user, who wrote, below a picture of Harris and Trump's 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton: "Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently..." The remark appears to be a reference to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, who briefly dated Harris over two decades ago. A frequent right-wing line of attack against Harris is that Brown fueled her political...

n oil tanker loaded with roughly a million barrels of crude was on fire and in danger of leaking after it was attacked by Houthi rebels while crossing through the Red Sea. The 900-foot Sounion was hit over the weekend, part of a campaign by the Yemen-based group to target vessels passing through the Suez Canal. The crew was evacuated from the ship, which is now anchored in a busy maritime channel. The Suezmax tanker—the largest size that can transit the canal when laden—had taken on cargo in Iraq, and its final destination was Europe, brokers said. It is one...

From curbside abortions to gender-neutral prayer rooms, so much insane stuff unfolded at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One of these abhorrent moments apparently snuck under the radar — until now. It turns out that a top Kamala Harris surrogate bashed the Bill of Rights as "that little piece of paper" and urged Democrats to "reimagine democracy" on Day 1 of the DNC. Kelley Robinson, president of the far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and a prominent supporter of Kamala Harris, made the appalling comments during a daytime session addressing "how defeating Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda rests on...

hile serving as a teacher and football coach at Mankato West High School, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was the faculty adviser to a Gay-Straight Alliance club founded in 1999. In August 2024, the managing editor of the Christian satire website The Babylon Bee, Joel Berry, used that fact to claim in an X post that "Tim Walz recruited young boys into a gay club at school."

A woman who inherited $250,000 from her late grandmother has revealed how she quit her job, blew through the money and now lives in a rental home. Sarah Faith Jacobson, a 40-year-old corporate consultant in Texas, said after she received the large amount of money she had no idea what to do with it, and 'regrets' how she spent it. Her grandparents were successful Bay Area real-estate investors in the 1970s, and after her grandmother died in 2020, Jacobson inherited $175,000 from her life insurance policy and another $75,000 from her will.

Despite the media’s attempts to frame him otherwise, Walz is a radical Leftist. His ideologies and past records reflect that. And Tim Walz is done for now that one of his dangerous policies has been exposed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, under the leadership of Democratic Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota witnessed a tragic toll on its most vulnerable population. A staggering 80% of the state’s COVID-related deaths occurred among residents of long-term care facilities, including nursing homes and assisted living centers. Critics have sharply condemned a policy, similar to those adopted in other states, that allowed patients with COVID-19 to be...

We are just over one month since a smelly, pimply-faced incel tried to assassinate Donald Trump. The FBI immediately began its "investigation," and that's when I knew we were in trouble. Not only have we learned next to nothing about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the mockingbird media mudpuppies have also memory-holed the shooting like it never happened. Related: The Shot Ignored Around the World: It's Been One Month Since Trump Was Shot Let's list what we know have been told by the vanilla, mainstream news yobbos about Crooks and his attempt to kill President Trump:

CHICAGO — Mayor Brandon Johnson personally intervened in a dispute between his own administration and a coalition of activist groups set for a massive protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week, helping reverse the city’s denial of a permit to set up stages and sound systems for rallies in a park near the United Center, the coalition’s leader said Friday. The agreement, which was reached after hours of back-room negotiations between the parties, nullified an emergency motion filed in U.S. District Court earlier this week alleging the city had violated protesters’ First Amendment rights by restricting how...

CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention. Three main protests are being planned for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the first and last days of the convention. More than 150 organizations from around the country say they’ve formed a collective to have these protests be large in numbers, and while they represent a number of different interests, they say they will be focused on the Israeli-Palestinian war. The leaders at a Monday morning press event said there will also be meetings...

In one of the least surprising developments of all time, this week’s White Dudes for Kamala Zoom call was a festival of estrogen where a bunch of weirdos, losers, mutations, sissies, whiners, dorks, geeks, and other key sub-sections of the Democrat Party gathered in the electronic ether to humiliate themselves at the feet of their mediocre candidate. That was no surprise. I didn’t check out enough of it to see if they started with a land acknowledgment or if they reassured some of the men participating that it was understood that some of them menstruate because every second I watched,...

I had long thought she couldn’t beat Donald Trump. That’s wrong. In a 50/50 country, she can.

he FBI’s director has revealed that investigators still do not know whether it was a bullet or some shrapnel which grazed Donald Trump’s ear during his attempted assassination. Christopher Wray told a marathon session of the US House Judiciary Committee that the FBI was still working to determine exactly what hit the former president’s ear during the shooting. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” he said.

The biggest question inside the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, is the thing no one has mentioned. Why have there been no daily press briefings? ♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation? ♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results? ♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump? * * * The Washington Post is...

Despite the fact that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries bullied the DNC into a temporary delay in holding a so-called "virtual roll call" to nominate President Joe Biden weeks before the Democrat National Convention, the DNC decided today to stick to their plans to nominate Biden early and lock him in as the candidate in early August. Chaos reigns still in the Democrat Party, as does the civil war that threatens to demolish the party even before they likely lose spectacularly this November.

Democratic donors are reportedly freezing $90 million in pledged donations to a Biden super PAC. The donors plan to withhold the cash unless Biden steps aside, sources told the NYT. Already, some megadonors and Hollywood bigwigs have publicly pressured Biden to end his campaign.
