Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said Sunday he could be called as a witness in President Donald Trump’s suit against The Wall Street Journal, arguing that he could help “prove malice” in the case. Trump announced he’d filed suit against the WSJ and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, Friday over an article that claimed he sent disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter celebrating his birthday. Dershowitz told “Sunday Agenda” host Lidia Curanaj he also was contacted by the WSJ over a letter he reportedly sent, which the outlet couldn’t produce. “I’ll probably be called as a witness in the case, because...

You knew in your heart of hearts from the very beginning. Even as you watched those first flames take the first houses and then leap up through the canyons and down through the hillsides, through the breaks, even jumping PCH to gobble up the houses tucked next to the highway itself - those uniquely SoCal structures sandwiched between the asphalt and that big, blue Pacific surf...you knew. You knew would never see it again, for all the gargoyle grin assurances of the mayor who couldn't be bothered to be there when the flames broke out. For all the slickster, huckstering,...

Internal FBI emails reveal that rogue agents and prosecutors in the Biden DOJ were looking for ways to pile on new criminal charges against Donald Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — this time over his involvement with the J6 prisoner choir, based on a single partisan news article. The 2023 emails obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and revealed exclusively to The Post, are an example of the nitpicking malice of anti-Trump lawfare that tainted special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, during Joe Biden’s presidency. “Can we do some work to nail down Trump’s role in this,”...

In order to enable safe flight, airspace is split into categories ranging from very tightly controlled areas around airports to other zones – mostly rural – where rules are much more relaxed. The most stringently controlled zones are Class A airspace, such as the area around the Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington. Pilots must obtain clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC) to enter and, except in an emergency situation, must follow ATC instructions – such as on heading, height or clearance to land – to the letter. If reconstructions of the situation in Washington on Wednesday night and ATC...

Trump is getting more of a honeymoon in Term 2 than in Term 1, and while part of it is due to the shock of the 2024 win, a lot of it has become tactics. The first stage of the plan is to infiltrate his decision-making loop and to make his various policies backfire. That’s why it’s helpful to understand what malicious compliance is. The last ‘resistance’ movement among federal employees focused on more direct sabotage, at least initially this time they’re using malicious compliance, that is to say they’re implementing executive orders in the most destructive fashion. And then...

<p>5) Secret Service was initially not going to send snipers to the rally, according to local law enforcement.</p>

Extraordinary new pictures and video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show just how breathtakingly close Trump shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, got to his target. Crooks, 20, came within inches of killing President Trump Saturday, as the former president addressed supporters during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Chillingly some images show a ladder, hidden by dense shrubbery, propped against the side of the AGR building, leading directly to the rooftop across which witnesses later told law enforcement they saw Crooks scramble. The images of the strategically placed ladder have emerged as Secret Service admit they did not sweep the building where...

Proposed Florida defamation legislation would make it easier for leftwing lawyers to sue conservative media into oblivion. It could also prevent vital anonymous sources from coming forward with information. If passed, HB 757, reports the Tallahassee Democrat, will “creat[e] a presumption that anyone publishing a false statement that relied on an anonymous source, acted with ‘actual malice,’ a key legal hurdle for public figures to win defamation lawsuits.” At the time of publication, the House bill’s sponsor, Pensacola Republican Rep. Alex Andrade, had not returned The Federalist’s request for comment. Actual malice is a legal hurdle public figures must over...

There was an era when Hollywood celebrities and film creators were treated as a kind of modern royalty, a representation of the heights to which the average person could strive and “make it big.” The glitz and the glamour were viewed as the culmination of the American dream. But as with all fantasies, the story must end and reality must return. Was the movie business always a farce? Yes. However, it was a farce that the public held up even in the worst of times as something of value; something more that frivolity.In the spans of around 7 years Hollywood...

Do you remember…• 5G technology first began in Wuhan, China?• COVID-19 began in Wuhan, China?• Over 230 foreign Fortune 500 companies have offices in Wuhan and do business there? At least 80 foreign countries fund companies in the city?• Joe Biden, who gets his orders from Barack Obama, Susan Rice and Deep State leadership, in 2021, gave up the U.S. air base and $85 billion in military assets in Afghanistan–and much of this went to China? • Russia confirmed what others globally have been exposing: that the war in money-laundering Ukraine is backlash for the Deep State’s creation and usage...

Greenpeace Co-Founder Patrick Moore has said that achieving “Net Zero” carbon emissions globally would lead to “at least 50% of the population” dying.“If we actually did it, my point would be that if we actually achieve net zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease,” Moore said in a recent interview with BizNewsTv.

Technocracy’s prime directive in the 1930s was to master the “Science of Social Engineering”. Without ethical restraints, Pandora’s Box was opened with “anything goes” in the name of technocratic progress. Gaslighting becomes a primary tool in the propagandist’s toolbox when other propaganda techniques become ineffective. The danger with a gaslit population? Don’t light a match.

In a time where defiant, God-hating, lying, perverted humans have declared the death of the Biblical God–He Who is eternally unchanging Reality, the Source of Authority, Justice, Goodness, immutable Truth, Moral Law, Peace, and Creational Norms—and have seized power for themselves, we should expect to see all hell breaking loose.

Dr. Ron Elfenbein called the pause in some antibody treatments the 'height of bureaucratic arrogance'.. A doctor in Maryland said he had to cancel potentially life-saving monoclonal antibody infusions for about 250 people over the last week after the federal government stopped distributing treatments made by Regeneron and Eli Lilly because they aren't effective against omicron, even though the delta variant, which the drugs are effective at treating, was still dominant at the time. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response halted the allocation of those two antibody treatments last Thursday amid the rise of omicron, which...

Kyle Rittenhouse slammed Joe Biden for “defaming” his character when the president tweeted out a video suggesting the teen is a white supremacist. “It’s actual malice, defaming my character for him to say something like that,” Rittenhouse told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson during an hour-long interview that aired Monday night. Rittenhouse, who was acquitted on all charges last Friday in his highly-publicized murder trial, was responding to a question from Carlson about how he felt over the president’s comments. Biden, when he was a presidential candidate in September 2020, had tweeted that “there’s no other way to put it: the...

It’s difficult to accept that we’re seeing mere incompetence with an administration that defiantly gets everything wrong. A legal term, malice aforethought identifies intentional murder or malicious bodily harm. From the election to COVID policy, to how we left Afghanistan, to inflation and the budget, to energy policy, to our lawless border, there is no way our entire U.S. government is stupid enough to make so many grievous policy decisions without malice and planning. They’re throwing ingredients into the stew pot to create socialism and it’s a very unsavory dish. I am not a ‘conspiracy theorist,’ because what I see...

Nuts to the Natives“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”St. Ambrose, advising St. Augustine to conform to the Roman custom of Saturday fasts (Anno Domini 390)“When in Rome, do as you like and call the Romans xenophobes.”St. Bilious, advising St. Fractious to complain about Roman customs when in Rome (Anno Diabolus 2021)This contrast occurred to me as I read this trenchant line from William Wildblood:The absurd error, so absurd it’s hard to believe it wasn’t deliberate, of multi-culturism in which incoming groups are given the same right to their own identity as the native population.It is ironic that liberals...

The motion to have former Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann's defamation lawsuit against the NY Times, Rolling Stone, ABC, & CBS dismissed was denied by the court. A previous motion by NBC was also denied. And the Washington Post has already settled the case against it by paying an undisclosed amount in damages. Lawyers for the Times called the latest ruling "out of step with modern libel laws. It has been a well-established principle that when the alleged victim is a public figure he must prove malice motivated the inaccurate media reporting and the derogatory statements made about...

"375 million interactions with the public every year. 375 million interactions — overwhelmingly positive responses. Overwhelmingly positive responses. But I read in the papers all week, we all read in the papers, that in the black community, mothers are worried about their children getting home from school without being killed by a cop. What world are we living in?! That doesn't happen! It does not happen!

In the wake of a short, out-of-context video put up on Twitter about a confrontation after the Jan. 18 March for Life, pretty much everyone in the media and politics decided to condemn a group of minors from Covington Catholic High School.And then the facts started coming in.According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, over 50 individuals who went after the Covington kids and didn’t retract their statements will potentially find themselves in court after lawyers for the most visible of the students “sent letters to media outlets, individual journalists, celebrities and Catholic organizations as the first step in possible libel and...
