Project 65, a “dark money” left-wing group that has targeted lawyers that represented former President Donald Trump in 2020, is now warning potential Trump attorneys that they could be disbarred for working for him. In an ad posted on Instagram, and apparently targeted at lawyers, Project 65 warns: “Don’t let partisan politics endanger your standing with the bar. The Porter Wright Partners face ethics complaints over Trump campaign post-election work. Don’t risk your law license by joining an effort to subvert democracy. We – and the public – are watching.” Porter Wright is a firm that represented Trump in Pennsylvania...

Pro-life activist Heather Idoni, who was imprisoned by the Department of Justice under the Biden administration for trying to rescue the unborn at a late-term abortion clinic in Washington D.C., continues to suffer gross mistreatment at the hands of the U.S. Marshals. Idoni and her husband, who are both heavily involved in pro-life work, have five biological children and have adopted 10 boys from Ukraine. Heather has been behind bars since August 2023 and has been convicted and sentenced in two trials — one in Washington, D.C. and another in Nashville, Tennessee — on charges of violating the pro-abortion FACE...

The longtime Democratic Party lawyer has already filed more than 60 preelection lawsuits to stop Trump from becoming president again by combatting what he calls Republican “voter suppression” efforts such as requiring voters to provide identification at the polls. Echoing a standard Democratic talking point, Elias maintains that such requirements are “racist” strategies designed to make it harder for minorities to vote.At the same time, Elias has been sending letters to election officials in Georgia and other key swing states threatening legal action if they uphold challenges to voter rolls to remove noncitizens and other ineligible registrants. Some Georgia officials...

I hope they are all sanctioned, and the sanction is disbarment. If they are just reprimanded that would be an insult and an injustice which would allow them to do this again to any political opponent. At the very least Trump should be able to sue for his legal fees which could be in the ballpark of $20 MM.

In 1989, Shell published an internal report analyzing two possible futures, one in which fossil fuels were brought under control and one in which they weren't. In the former, which they called the "sustainable world" scenario, greenhouse gas emissions began declining rapidly around the year 2000 and global warming was kept in check. In the other, where fossil fuel production continued apace, Shell researchers predicted a world of climate chaos—one with massive increases in "violent weather," particularly "more storms" and "more deluges." These disasters, Shell concluded, would create crises of such severity that "[c]ivilization could prove a fragile thing."....... If...

An unpopular Illinois, Dolton mayor was booed out of a town meeting then sued the other officials for hosting it without her. So-called America's 'worst mayor' Tiffany Henyard arrived at Monday's village board meeting an hour late and was met with outraged residents, reported WGN. Despite the meeting's location being moved to the local park district facilities after Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s Office found Dolton had violated the state’s Open Meetings Act, Henyard tried to hold a separate board meeting at Village Hall, according to WLS.

he Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, who has been embroiled in legal battles for more than a decade over his refusal to create certain custom cakes due to his religious beliefs. The decision comes as a relief for Phillips, who has faced ongoing legal challenges since 2012, when he first declined to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, citing his faith.

Last week a judge unsealed a 165-page legal brief with damaging new revelations about Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The revelations have been widely discussed and debated — but the timing of the release should receive more scrutiny, because the Department of Justice should not have allowed the information to be disclosed so close to Election Day. This event is the latest of many examples of Biden administration officials paying insufficient public attention to executive branch rules that are designed to ensure that prosecutions are, in appearance and reality, conducted fairly and apolitically.

The Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against Evangelical Christian baker Jack Phillips over his refusal on religious grounds to make a cake celebrating a trans-identified individual's so-called gender transition. In a decision released Tuesday, the state's highest court ruled 4-3 to dismiss the lawsuit against the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop filed by Autumn Scardina, a biological male who identifies as a woman. Justice Melissa Hart authored the majority opinion, arguing that Scardina's discrimination claim was not properly processed before the lawsuit against Phillips was filed. "Could the district court properly consider the claims of discrimination presented here? In...

CV NEWS FEED // The Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed against a Christian baker who refused to make a pro-transgender cake, on the grounds that the plaintiff did not follow the proper filing process. This is the third such legal case in the past 12 years related to Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, and his right to free speech. “Enough is enough. Jack has been dragged through courts for over a decade. It’s time to leave him alone,” stated Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) Senior Counsel Jake Warner in an October 8 press release after the decision....

On Oct. 2, prosecutor Jack Smith filed a 165-page Motion against President Trump that contains nothing new.The document will be revered by the MSNBC crowd, but those people already plan to vote for Kamala Harris.The rest of America — MAGA and undecided voters — will see it as more evidence of a corrupt DOJ.Before we delve into the details, consider this:By issuing the Motion in October, the DOJ violated its own rule, which precludes the release of information within 60 days of an election, if the information could affect the election.After waiting three years, this prosecutor released his allegations just...

CV NEWS FEED // A district judge in Oregon ruled September 30 that Oregon Right to Life is required to cover abortions in its employees’ healthcare insurance plan, dismissing the pro-life organization’s argument that it is a religious organization exempted from the pro-abortion law. U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken stated in her ruling that ORTL does not fit inside the category of “religious employer” under the state’s Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA), as it does not mainly or exclusively serve individuals of the same religion. “Plaintiff does not qualify as a ‘religious employer’ under the RHEA because ‘its purpose is...

CV NEWSFEED // Congressman Chip Roy, R-TX, on Friday published an essay calling for the repeal of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The Biden-Harris administration has used the FACE Act to prosecute dozens of pro-life Americans for demonstrating outside of abortion facilities. The FACE Act was signed into law in 1994 by Democratic President Bill Clinton and creates felony charges for anyone who, [by] force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been,...

Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips’ over 12-year legal battle to defend his free speech rights ended Tuesday.The Colorado Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit against Phillips after finding the attorney who challenged him in 2017 for declining to create a cake celebrating a male-to-female gender transition did not properly file the case.“Enough is enough. Jack has been dragged through courts for over a decade. It’s time to leave him alone,” ADF senior counsel Jake Warner said in a statement. “Free speech is for everyone.”The attorney, Autumn Scardina, called Masterpiece Cakeshop to request a “a pink birthday cake with blue frosting” symbolizing...

Chances are you’ve never heard of Tina Peters. It’s worth taking a moment to get to know her.Peters used to be the elections chief in Mesa County, Colo., a slice of rugged beauty perched on the state’s Western Slope. After the 2020 election, Peters fell in with the tinfoil-hat crowd promoting the phony claim the presidential race was stolen from Donald Trump. In furtherance of that fallacy, Peters allowed an unauthorized person to access voting equipment as part of a crackpot scheme to gather “proof” that Mesa County’s voting machines were rigged.They weren’t.But Peters’ conniving made her a celebrity in...

Colorado's Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit against a Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a transgender woman. Justices declined to weigh in on the free speech issues that brought the case to national attention. Baker Jack Phillips was sued by attorney Autumn Scardina in 2017 after his Denver-area bakery refused to make a pink cake with blue frosting to celebrate her gender transition. Justices said in the 6-3 majority opinion that Scardina had not exhausted her options to seek redress through another court before filing her lawsuit. The case was among several...

In March of this year, Bryan Malinowski, the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was killed by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) during a pre-dawn raid of his home. It was an unwarranted and indefensible killing of a kind that should never, ever happen in a free country like the United States. Because we have a media that no longer serves in its traditional role as a government watchdog, this incident was not widely reported. Because too many members of Congress no longer take seriously their...

The Democrats have always relied on lies, especially when it comes to their campaigns for political office. “A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.” --George Orwell. The Democrats have always relied on lies, especially when it comes to their campaigns for political office. When Hillary Clinton was running for what she deemed her rightful place in the White House, she paid for the many, many lies that kicked off the Russia hoax and led to the endless...

The legal system has utterly failed to disqualify former President Trump from office. Whether he becomes the next president is now anybody’s guess. Much of the fault may be laid at the feet of special counsel Jack Smith, who has pursued Trump with the zeal of Inspector Javert, but has thus far come up empty handed. The open-and-shut case involving Trump’s mishandling of the classified Mar-a-Lago documents has been dismissed on unprecedented legal grounds involving Smith’s standing to prosecute him. The Washington case involving Trump’s conspiracy against democracy is back to the start, with Smith losing on immunity in the...

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that special counsel Jack Smith’s new court filing was so close to the presidential election because of former President Donald Trump’s legal delays. Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you about the timing of all of this, Congressman, which you know has been in focus. The former federal prosecutor referred to this brief as Jack Smith’s, quote, October cheap shot. Donald Trump has accused the Justice Department of election interference essentially by violating its longstanding practice not to take public steps in politically related cases close to an...
