NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd said Tuesday on MSNBC’s coverage of the Hunter Biden guilty verdict that it was a “really good day for the American system.” Todd said, “There are not many countries in the world where the son or daughter of said country would get prosecuted in their judicial system. This is how different America is, and I do think this is a really good day for the American system. Okay, that, you know what, it really does try to operate. Nobody says it’s perfect. We have plenty of flawed individuals in the Judicial Branch and...

Dershowitz reasoned, “In the South, when they convicted black people improperly with an all-white jury or acquitted white people improperly with an all-white jury, that didn’t mean that those convictions were correct. It just meant that the jury didn’t reflect the values of our country, it reflected the values of a particular region of the country, in this case the region is a liberal region, New York, in the Southern cases, the region was the conservative region of the South.”

I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why. Back in 2016, I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such, I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her...

The prosecution has finally rested in the criminal case against former President Trump, having presented nine bullet-proof pieces of evidence that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump is guilty. Here they are: Trump said he's innocent: Exactly the sort of thing a guilty person would say. Before the trial, the prosecution's star witnesses both said Trump was innocent: It doesn't get any more cut and dry. The judge decided Trump was guilty before the trial even began: It was that obvious. No one in America has ever been charged with a felony for this crime before:...

WASHINGTON — A former business associate of James Biden has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud Medicare of $51 million through a lab-testing company linked to the first brother.

James Biden, 75, has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing and has sought to distance himself from Langston, whose father Joey Langston also was associated with the first brother. Keaton Langston founded...

Hunter Biden, this is your life! The first son’s ex-wife and a pair of his former lovers are slated to testify in Delaware federal court about his crack cocaine addiction as he heads to trial on weapons charges beginning June 3. Hunter’s former spouse Kathleen Buhle, his sister-in-law-turned-lover Hallie Biden and ex-girlfriend Zoe Kestan all have memories of the now-54-year-old’s near-constant drug use during the period in October 2018 when he lied about his addiction and purchased a handgun, according to Monday court filings. Hunter deliberately claimed on a federal background check form that he was neither a user of...

He tied the giving of official action by him to the giving of money to him.” “Alderman Burke...

A defiant French teacher is still in the classroom after being fired by the Department of Education — crowing that the city “can’t touch me” despite the sexually-charged accusations that got her sacked, including making nearly 30,000 late-night texts to a schoolgirl. Dulaina Almonte, 33, lost her job at Harry S. Truman High School in The Bronx in 2020 after the Special Commissioner of Investigation substantiated claims of her creepy behavior with teens. “I can’t be guilty if I’m still a teacher,” Almonte — who now teaches at a Bronx charter school — boasted to The Post this week.

A Georgia man should not be executed because he is intellectually disabled and feels remorse for killing his former girlfriend three decades ago, his lawyers wrote in seeking clemency for him.

Pye was convicted of murder and other crimes in the November 1993 killing of Alicia Lynn Yarbrough. A clemency hearing is set for Tuesday. In Georgia, those hearings are conducted in secret, with the result announced afterward. “Had defense counsel...

The National Rifle Association and its former longtime leader were found liable Friday in a lawsuit centered on the organization’s lavish spending. The New York jury found that Wayne LaPierre, who was the NRA’s CEO for three decades, misspent millions of dollars of the group’s money on pricey perks for themselves. LaPierre, 74, sat stone-faced in the front row of the courtroom as the verdict was read aloud. The verdict is a win for New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who campaigned on investigating the NRA’s not-for-profit status. It is the latest blow to the powerful group, which...
