There's nothing at all funny about putting a former president of the United States of America on trial for misdemeanor record-keeping offenses and turning those into felonies through a badly done magic trick. The underlying reason why the George Soros-selected prosecutor put Donald Trump on trial starting Monday, however, is yet another reason why this case should be laughed out of court. The avowed Trump-hating prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, is part of the effort by the left to tie up the former president in court so he can't campaign for president. Additionally, they hope that by ringing up all manner of...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed suit against Media Matters to force the nonprofit to turn over documents related to his investigation into its fraudulent business practices. General Bailey launched his investigation in November 2023 after evidence came to light that Media Matters solicited donations from Missourians under false pretenses to target X, formerly known as Twitter, in direct violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. “My office has reason to believe Media Matters used fraud to solicit donations from Missourians in order to bully advertisers into pulling out of X, the last social media...

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a petition for order to enforce civil investigative demand on Monday over Media Matters’ work to push advertisers to remove ads from X. The order is similar to a subpoena, according to Fox News, and will force Media Matters to turn over documentation related to Bailey’s investigation into the nonprofit’s alleged fraudulent business practices. Bailey launched an investigation into Media Matters in November 2023. This came after Media Matters published a report alleging that X would place advertisements next to "pro-Nazi content." After the report, companies such as IBM, Disney, Sony, and Apple pulled...

A US non-profit that aired two ads during yesterday's Super Bowl attempting to rebrand Jesus for Gen Z is also the main funder of a designated hate group opposing abortion and LGBTIQ rights, openDemocracy can reveal. The Servant Foundation has plunged millions of dollars into its ‘He Gets Us’ ads, which paint Jesus as an “influencer” who was “cancelled” for standing up for his beliefs. The controversial adverts were shown at the Super Bowl for the second year running and have been plastered across billboards in the United States over the last year.

The corrupt regime has violated every basic principle of decency, every premise of self-government, and every standard of justice for so long and so often that the public has become largely inured to the latest outrage. And yet the Colorado Supreme Court’s recent decision to exclude Trump—the front-runner in the 2024 presidential race, mind you—from the ballot stands out for its stupidity, shortsightedness, and maliciousness even in this environment. The 200+ page decision is a work of such slop that it makes Roe v. Wade look like a paragon of principled and coherent legal reasoning by comparison. The theory of...

There is a nefarious group that calls itself The 65 Project that has as its goal to intimidate lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers. When these threats first emerged, I wrote an op-ed offering to defend pro bono any lawyers that The 65 Project goes after. So The 65 Project immediately went after me, and contrived a charge based on a case in which I was a constitutional consultant, but designed to send a message to potential Trump lawyers: if you defend Trump or anyone...

The Rush Limbaugh Show Exposes the Stop Rush Conspiracy  September 23, 2014- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s newest email spam, asking their recipients to sign a petition calling for sponsors to end their relationship with The Rush Limbaugh Show, is based on the two-year-old Stop Rush political protest as it’s inspiration. After an investigation, The Rush Limbaugh Show has discovered a far darker story to Stop Rush, and is today releasing the hidden story of the people and motives behind the Stop Rush conspiracy. The Stop Rush group claims to be made up of ordinary consumers unhappy with Rush Limbaugh’s...

The left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America is being bankrolled by some of the biggest Democratic megadonors in the country, according to a new report. The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that Media Matters, a liberal nonprofit often cited by legacy news organizations as a media watchdog, might have “mistakenly” identified some of its biggest donors in a November filing to the New Mexico attorney general’s office. According to the filing obtained by the Free Beacon, Media Matters’ biggest donor was Deborah Simon of the shopping mall giant Simon Property Group, who gave $4 million to the nonprofit. As...

Media Matters for America sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in federal court late Monday, alleging that Paxton violated the First Amendment last month and chilled its work when he opened an investigation into the organization over its reporting into Elon Musk’s X app.Media Matters, a progressive watchdog group, said Paxton’s investigation was unlawful retaliation designed to punish it for stories it reported that alleged that major ad campaigns were running next to white nationalist content on X.The stories contributed to trouble for Musk and X and seemingly helped inspire a massive wave of pullouts by advertisers from the social...

X CEO Elon Musk eviscerated the media watchdog Media Matters for America as an "evil propaganda machine" while discussing his upcoming lawsuit against them on Sunday. The Tesla and X CEO came on an X Townhall in the Spaces feature which also included guests such as presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz. At the 2:46:23 mark is when he made his comments about Media Matters and insisted the lawsuit will also target anyone funding the group. "Media Matters is an evil propaganda machine. I just generally am against evil propaganda machines. We are suing them in...

The attorney general for the state of Texas announced an investigation into the left-wing activist site Media Matters after tech billionaire Elon Musk filed what he called a "thermonuclear lawsuit" against the organization. Media Matters sought to pressure advertisers to abandon the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, based on their report claiming that their advertisements would appear next to "white nationalist hashtags." Musk vehemently denied the report and accused the organization of completely misrepresenting the "real user experience" on the website to deceive advertisers. Several companies announced that they would end their advertising campaigns on the platform, including IBM,...

The potential legal claim against Media Matters by X could include Tortious interference, a common law tort that allows for damages when a defendant wrongfully interferes with the plaintiff's contractual or business relationships. In many states, punitive damages may be tripled in such cases, adding significant legal consequences to the alleged interference. Tortious interference refers to a legal term where one party intentionally damages another party's contractual or business relationships. It involves interference with the contractual or business affairs of another, resulting in harm or damage. This can lead to a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for the damages caused by...

He is going after their board, their donors, their network of dark money, all of them.... Brock, Podesta and the rest of that bunch are some really twisted, sick individuals.

@elonmusk The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company

The media in America is destructive, inhumane, utterly immoral, and has no conscience as a group whatsoever, and they are tearing this country apart through their lies and projection. Donald Trump has been the greatest friend Israel and the Jewish people have ever had in the Oval Office, and the only president to have a Jewish family, but to people who don’t like him, he is Hitler. Democrat media outlets like Media Matters and people like Joe Scarborough make a mockery of the Holocaust by calling their political opponents Hitler as they do to Donald Trump, while they repeat Hamas...

Just so we're keeping track, over the weekend there were many more hate-filled antisemitic protests held around the world and in our nation's capital, Republican candidates for President all spoke at an event in Florida, and the current President saw the release of disastrous new poll numbers regarding his job approval and chances at re-election. So, naturally, USA Today went with this as their front page for Monday morning: In Monday's paper: - When Libs of TikTok posts, threats increasingly follow - 3 justices to watch in blockbuster guns case - Millions rely on untested wells pic.twitter.com/F1OufM3V6Q — USA TODAY...

The White House on Sunday condemned a conservative social media activist for ridiculing an openly-gay Interior Department official on the site X, describing her posts as “cruel and unacceptable.” Chaya Raichik, who created the @libsoftiktok account on X, formerly known as Twitter, sparked a debate online this week after posting and reposting several times about Tyler Cherry, Interior’s principal deputy communications director. The posts appeared to criticize his appearance, referred to him as one of the “total weirdos” the Biden administration has hired, laughed at photos of him in a dress that the New York Times published in a piece...

Movie star Vince Vaughn, a self-described libertarian who has supported Republican candidates in the past, is facing backlash on social media after a video emerged on Twitter showing him with President Trump in a private box during the national championship game Monday in New Orleans, La., a video showed. Vaughn was seen chatting and laughing with the president as Melania sat between them -- before the pair shook hands and Trump appeared to point to the star's lanyard, according to a 31-second clip uploaded to Twitter. The video was uploaded by former Deadspin employee, Timothy Burke, who captioned it, "I'm...

The Democrats’ narrative setters, paid for by George Soros, have now decreed that Tucker Carlson’s reemergence on Twitter is vewy, vewy bad and they are vewy, vewy angwy. Poor, poor Media Matters. Carlson announced Tuesday he would be silent no longer and would produce his show on Twitter ! David Brock and the Left’s leftover minions at the political snuff site haven’t been this angry since the Democrats’ FBI failed to kill the reputation of the My Pillow Guy and send it to the bottom of Lake Winnibigoshish in a pair of cement-filled My Slippers. It’s a disaster almost as...

Attorneys representing Fox News are threatening legal action against the liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America for airing leaked behind-the-scenes clips showing the network’s now-former host Tucker Carlson. The letter from Fox attorneys is in response to a series of stories published in recent days by MMFA, the liberal pressure group founded by Democratic Party operative David Brock, under the headline “Foxleaks.” The footage shows Carlson, the highly rated primetime cable host who was dismissed by Fox News on April 24, during commercial breaks making comments denigrating the network. MMFA’s most recent installment of “Foxleaks” shows Carlson having makeup...
