NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s sentencing in his New York hush money case may be postponed from next week in light of Monday’s Supreme Court immunity ruling, with the Manhattan district attorney saying he is not opposed to a delay requested by Trump’s lawyers so they can seek to vacate his conviction. The Manhattan district attorney’s office noted in a letter to the court Tuesday that sentencing would have to be delayed from July 11 for the defense to make its case about how the Supreme Court’s decision could affect Trump’s state court prosecution.Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts of...

The Guardian: “Several European countries have halted using the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid vaccine…” The Guardian has a brand new definition of “several.” Their own article lists the following nations: Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Romania, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, The Netherlands, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Cyprus, Sweden. The reason for the “pause?” A “small” number of people have developed blood clots. And now, as I write this, the Wall St. Journal is reporting that European Union medical regulators have decided everything is OK—-“the benefits of the shots outweigh the risks.” Standard boilerplate language for: “we don’t have to explain the...

THE trial of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was postponed after the newly-appointed chief judge objected to being searched, a defence lawyer said today. "What happened was when the new judge came to the court he was searched vigorously by the Americans, which he did not like," said Najib al-Nuami, who represents Saddam. Rauf Rashid Abdel Rahman "complained about it, saying why should he be searched", according to Mr Nuami. Another defence lawyer, who declined to be named, said he too heard the hearing was postponed because Judge Abdel Rahman "was unhappy with security procedures, including searches". The court put...

Postponing elections will be a terrible jolt to Iraq's long-suffering Shiites, who have seen democracy as providing them the fruits of their numerical majority. But regional elections will give the Shiites the self-government they desire without the burden of taking on an invigorated Sunni insurgency and a recalcitrant, but powerful, Kurdistan. To see what is possible in their own region, the Shiites need only look north to an increasingly prosperous Kurdistan that is today the only safe part of Iraq. For Bush, postponing national elections would be a setback; he has leaned heavily on the upcoming vote to justify his...

As the people of Iraq prepare to hold their first free elections, an international chorus is calling for the polls to be postponed. The chorus includes the “usual suspects” who are still sore that Saddam Hussein is in jail, awaiting trial, rather than in power, killing people and distributing largesse. The first noises about postponement came from UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan who dropped hints that his outfit might not supervise the elections. Those noises found an echo in Paris where Iraq is sill seen as a “quagmire”. Some elements in the American Democrat Party, though not Sen. John Kerry himself,...

Analysis of the Opinion by the three-judge panel done by Eric Leonard of KFI. He dug into the facts and made some amazing discoveries. Also, there is a total conflict of interest -- the "study" "proving" the errors of punch cards upon which the ACLU based their "facts" was funded by the major maker of electronic voting machines. Major flaws in the stats provided by the ACLU were totally ignored by the judges, plus the judges added into their opinion stuff that was not even being pleaded!
