BLM gunman who shot a driver in the head has charges dropped, sentence reduced, eligible for parole in 2026The public is forgetting a lot of things. The absurd theater surrounding the COVID pandemic and hysteria over vaccines seems like a distant memory. The huge outpouring of organized violence surrounding the death of George Floyd, probably the worst the nation has experienced in decades, is also slipping away. One incident that is often forgotten is the shooting that took place in the small town Alamosa, CO. In Alamosa we saw the familiar pattern of the riots: Black Lives Matter protestors would...

Two Democrat lawyers called for Congress to block President-elect Donald Trump from taking office in an op-ed published by the Hill on Thursday, prompting disbelief and ridicule from Republicans. In the piece titled “Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now,” lawyers Evan A. Davis and David M. Schulte argued that the Constitution says an insurrectionist is ineligible to be president and “the evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming.” They argued that the “matter has been decided in three separate forums” — one of which they said was the...

Here are a couple of names that we haven’t seen in the headlines for a while. Urooj Rahman and Colinford Mattis are the two (former) New York City lawyers who constructed Molotov cocktails and firebombed a police vehicle during the summer of love back in 2020. They were identified almost immediately and arrested, leading to a series of plea deals that were announced and then rejected or withdrawn. The two could have been facing 30 years in prison or even life sentences under domestic terrorism charges. But this week they both entered a guilty plea (again) and will now very...

Arkansas lawmakers are asking why a distinguished teaching chair at the state’s law school in Little Rock has come to be named for former President Bill Clinton. “There’s a lot of folks in academia today who seem to believe they are above the law and can do whatever they want,” said state Sen. Jason Rapert, a Republican. “They don’t think they need to adhere to guidelines or the law, and it seems to have something to do with their mindset and worldview.” Mr. Rapert’s Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs will meet Aug. 10 to hear why a chair...

Former Executive Director of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Florida, Hassan Shibly (pictured) has literally taken what the Qur’an says about beating your wife and applied it to his own family. Verse 4:34 in the Qu’ran allows for Muslim men to “strike” their wives, and that is exactly what Hassan Shibly did to his wife Imane Sadrati, who has accused him in a fundraising video of beating her in front of her children, causing her living situation with Shibly as “unbearable.” “My children and I are in desperate need of your help,” stated Sadrati. “For years I’ve...

No Clinton Foundation funds—dedicated to Haiti or otherwise—were used to pay for Chelsea’s wedding. It’s not only untrue, it’s a personal insult to me, to Hillary, and to Chelsea and Marc................. https://mobile.twitter.com/BillClinton/status/952271892756553728

Donald Trump defended and expanded upon his attacks on the Clintons on Tuesday, asserting once more that mentioning former President Bill Clinton's past infidelities was "fair game" if Hillary Clinton kept hitting him for his own views on women, bringing up Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones as examples. During a telephone interview with NBC's "Today," Savannah Guthrie asked the Republican presidential candidate about an early-morning tweet in which he recalled the former president being called a racist for comments he made while campaigning for his wife against then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008. -snip- "I can get you a list, and...

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Hillary Clinton Sunday — by bashing her for her husband’s infidelity. “I think he is fair game,” Trump told Fox and Friends of Bill Clinton, “because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled to put it mildly because of all of the things she’s talking to me about. She’s mentioning sexism.” Over the Christmas season, Trump went on a Twitter bender warning Clinton to “be careful” when she accuses him of sexism. He implied Sunday that warning meant he’s ready to unload on Bill for his sexual exploits. “He’ll come...

An Obama Administration political appointee who is licensed to practice law in New York has been disbarred after being charged with failing to cooperate with a grievance committee investigation into an allegation that he neglected a potential client. According to court papers, Tushar Sheth, who was admitted to practice in 2002, became a policy advisor to the U.S. Department of Education in 2013. That year, Anjhula Bais, who met Sheth in 2011, filed a complaint against him alleging she had approached him about filing a lawsuit but that, after email exchanges and two phone conversations, he "disappeared without a trace."...

Defense attorney Roy Kulcsar disbarred for using inmates to recruit new clients Attorney -- who defended terrorist Ramzi Yousef -- paid prisoners through commissary accounts Renowned defense attorney Roy Kulcsar didn’t chase ambulances — just inmates. And to make sure he caught them, he paid cash. Kulcsar funneled nearly $20,000 in illegal “retainers” to dozens of federal prisoners as compensation for steering fellow felons to his law practice, authorities said. The cash-for-clients deal operated between August 2004 and February 2010, with Kulcsar depositing funds into prison commissary accounts, a federal disciplinary committee reported last month. Kulcsar, who once represented 1993...

How can a former constitutional law professor, an attorney general and an iconic organization get it so wrong on civil rights? When you look at it, it is hard to tell if the White House, the Department of Justice and the NAACP are merely a collective sign of the times or the reasons why the times are sadly changing. Over the course of the past week, all three iconic institutions have corrupted the legacy of civil rights activism in America, using their efforts to support legal initiatives that pervert the legacy of black civil rights leaders with self-serving and misguided...

In a four-page written order (download here), the Florida Supreme Court today affirmed a referee's recommendation to permanently disbar controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson. The action, which takes effect in 30 days, means that Thompson will no longer be licensed to practice law and may not apply for reinstatement. Ever. In citing a litany of offenses, the Court noted Thompson's extensive pattern of misconduct and cited a "complete lack of remorse." The Court also quoted extensively from the June, 2008 report of Judge Dava Tunis, who served as referee at Thompson's November, 2007 trial on charges brought by the Florida...

Fox News interview with Bernie, who rightfully condemns the liberal media, the "Duke 88", feminists and Nifong for basically all conspiring to put the Duke lacrosse players behind bars. His point: this case went as far as it did because it was a perfect template -- rich white boys raping a poor black girl, from the South, no less. An open-and-closed case, if there ever was one, in the liberal mindset.

I didn't see anything posted on this live testimony. Who's watching it and what are your thoughts?
