'The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly.’ U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Donald Trump and his attorney Friday that repeated “inflammatory” statements about his latest criminal prosecution would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election. “I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,” Chutkan told Trump lawyer John Lauro during a hearing. “I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of...

COMMENT #1: Hello Mr. Armstrong, I just did some homework: Between August 3rd and this morning, I received only 44% of your New Post blog e-mails. Out of the 48 posts, only 21 ended up in my inbox! The censoring covers politics, Woke, war, corruption, tyranny, climate change, even humor (Aug 4th Trudeau’s Tinder Profile)! Today, I didn’t get the London Riot and The Climate Change Hoax. “They” are really against “us” and mainly want their propaganda to go out. The promise that the internet would open the world to everyone is the greatest hoax of all. Thank you for...

On Friday, Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled against Biden prosecutors, saying that not all pre-trial information would fall under a protective order that would prevent Trump from speaking about the 2020 election case brought forth by Special Counsel Jack Smith. While not all information would fall under the protective order, only information that was designated as sensitive, she agreed with the prosecution that witness interviews and transcripts that were collected during the grand jury’s investigation would be considered sensitive," according to Fox News. "The defendant has the right to free speech, but that right is not absolute," Chutkan said at the...

Comedian Marlon Wayans is defending comedy, free speech, and laughter. Jalen Rose wrote for the New York Post detailing his “Renaissance Man” interview and the “comedic genius” of Wayans. Wayans told him, “I’m raised to tell jokes and I will never fear telling my jokes.” “Most of the people on social media with these [negative] opinions aren’t even real people …They’re trying to strip us of the very thing that makes our country special: the freedom of speech,” he added. Rose addressed the angry responses Wayans received after joking about a recent brawl on an Alabama dock. He posted a...

Officials are sowing fear with vaguely worded warnings against “soft resistance” [A]nti-government discontent in Hong Kong in 2019 prompted China to impose a draconian national-security law on the territory to prevent further protests. Officials say this has helped: Hong Kong has achieved a “major transition from chaos to order”, they insist. But even after thousands of arrests and numerous trials, both under the new law and dredged-up statutes from the colonial era, the authorities are twitchy. Increasingly, they warn of “soft resistance” that could trigger fresh unrest. A new phase may be unfolding in Hong Kong’s war on dissent.

As Donald Trump cranks up his attacks on a growing list of targets linked to his numerous legal battles, experts predict the former president could soon be strapped with a court-ordered muzzle. But it’s an open question, they say, whether a gag order could be enforced against Trump, now a top White House contender with a reflexive social media habit and a campaign message built around his self-proclaimed political persecution. “I think a gag order is likely, I’m just not sure if it will be enforced,” former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told CNBC. “A lot of the judges that I’ve...

In a recent ruling, a judge in Pennsylvania declared that an election worker is unable to file a lawsuit against former President Trump for his statements that cast doubt on the 2020 election results. The judge, Michael Erdos, determined that these statements are protected by “presidential immunity.” Specifically, Trump’s immunity covered a tweet he posted and comments he made from the White House during a Pennsylvania state Senate committee hearing in November 2020. Trump alleged voter fraud in the election that occurred in Pennsylvania. “Other legal proceedings may examine the propriety of his statements and actions while he was the...

We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live. The Revolution began under the Obama administration that sought to divide Americans into oppressed and oppressors, and then substitute race for class victimization. It was empowered by the bicoastal wealth accrued from globalization, and honed during the COVID lockdown, quarantine-fed economic...

Former President Donald Trump's attorneys opposed special counsel Jack Smith's proposal for a protective order in the case related to the 2020 election, according to a court document filed Monday. Trump's attorneys argued Smith's protective order, which prosecutors typically use to dictate how discovery is handled in a case, was "overbroad" and accused the Department of Justice of seeking to "restrict First Amendment rights" with it. Protecting certain discovery "does not require a blanket gag order over all documents produced by the government," Trump's defense team wrote. His lawyers added, "Rather, the Court can, and should, limit its protective order...

@HannahDCox Biden has been one of the top power players persecuting Julian Assange for simply being a journalist and reporting the truth for years. He doesn't care about freedom of the press. He doesn't care about free speech. He's a complete and total fraud. RE: @RandPaul On World Press Freedom Day @POTUS put out a statement saying we must speak out against those trying to silence press. And now this… RE: @RobertBluey Over the past three months, the number of reporters with access to the @WhiteHouse dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted “hard pass”—the...

The latest indictment of former President Trump threatens to destroy the First Amendment and give the federal government the unprecedented power to criminalize political lies, constitutional law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley warned Saturday. Trump was indicted this week on four charges related to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into 2020 election interference and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in a Washington, D.C., courtroom Thursday. In an op-ed for The Hill, Turley wrote that Smith’s indictment essentially charges Trump for spreading "lies that there...

Trump ALWAYS goes after those who attack him first. Just ask Rosie O’Donnell or CNN. As reported earlier – In response to President Trump’s post on Truth Social, dirty Jack Smith asked the far-left Obama judge overseeing the DOJ’s latest case against Trump to prevent the president from sharing information on the case with the public. .....snip..... Now this… The Obama judge on the case gave...

Public college administrators 2,700 miles apart are trying to escape legal responsibility for what some courts are calling potential viewpoint discrimination against campus chapters of the same nationwide conservative group. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made that harder for California's Clovis Community College Thursday by refusing to moot the First Amendment lawsuit against several officials by former students in its Young Americans for Freedom chapter. The question of mootness was brushed aside by the court, because even though the college being sued rescinded their "Flyer Policy" at issue, the matter was capable of repetition yet avoiding judicial review....

Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith filed for an emergency protective order on Friday night after getting spooked by a social media post. The former president posted an allegedly threatening statement on Truth Social and Smith asked for protection.Trump posted on Truth Social Friday night the following statement: ‘IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU’ That was the entire post. One statement in all caps. Smith entered it into evidence Friday night shortly after Trump posted it. This is an indication that Smith’s team is actively monitoring Trump’s social media posts.

NASCAR driver Noah Gragson has been suspended indefinitely by his team for liking a meme mocking George Floyd. Gragson later said after the blowback from the incident, "I am disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media." The meme of Floyd is his face on the crab from Little Mermaid, with a caption saying, "Under da knee," connecting to the song, "Under the Sea."
