Trump Derangement Syndrome

Just over a third of American voters believe former president Donald Trump acted illegally in the hush-money case brought against him by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, according to a new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey.

If the MAGA movement really were driven by “anti-intellectualism” as Katie Couric asserts, then what in the world does that say about the people who promote Slow Joe Biden to the top tier of non-MAGA, or Democrat leadership?

A dozen Republican-led states plan to send a letter to Bank of America demanding an explanation for why it allegedly de-banked Christian and other conservative groups.

The letter obtained first by DailyMail.com, led by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, demands that the financial institution turn over documents related to its account cancellation policies and requested that the bank update its terms of services to not discriminate against clients with certain political or religious beliefs.

The notice comes after it was revealed that Bank of America sent the FBI and U.S. Treasury private consumer financial data to help the agencies investigate crimes related to the January 6 Capitol protest.

The first day of the first-ever criminal trial of a former president has officially concluded. Defendant and former president Donald Trump was present and called the proceeding an “assault on America.”

At the outset, lawyers spent hours arguing about how much of Trump’s tabloid-fueled sex life should be described to the jury. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan made clear he wanted the lawyers to show restraint, and at one point when things started to get tense, the judge urged lawyers to “sit down, relax.”

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.

Get ready for more collusion hoaxes.

It seems that some wokesters in the New York Times newsroom like Israel even less than they like the United States. But maybe the newspaper’s problems go beyond young staffers who learned in college never to tolerate reasonable viewpoints. With general election season upon us, even middle-aged Timesmen are giving every indication that they’re planning to repeat all the mistakes they made covering the first Trump administration.

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, federal prosecutors had to decide what charges to bring against hundreds of participants in the pro-Trump mob that disrupted the certification of a presidential election for the first time in U.S. history.

In more than 350 cases, they included a federal charge that carries a hefty 20-year maximum penalty and is part of a law enacted after the exposure of massive fraud and shredding of documents during the collapse of the energy giant Enron.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says that he’s in contact with another whistleblower from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office who intends to expose Willis’s misuse of federal funds.

Campaign Puts Trump and the Spy Agencies on Collision Course

Even as president, Donald J. Trump flaunted his animosity for intelligence officials, portraying them as part of a politicized “deep state” out to get him. And since he left office, that loathing has grown into outright hostility, with potentially serious implications for national security should he be elected again.

Citing his belief that his 2016 campaign had been spied on by the intelligence community, Mr. Trump on Wednesday urged his House allies to “kill” a bill that would extend an expiring surveillance law that national security officials say is crucial to their ability to gather foreign intelligence and fight terrorism on behalf of the country. House Republicans agreed to move the legislation ahead on Friday only after revising it to ensure that Mr. Trump would get another crack at shaping it to his liking if he wins the presidency again.

For International Fact-Checking Day on April 2, Eric Litke, the leader of the USA Today fact-checking squad, asked who should be fact-checking the fact checkers? His answer: “Everyone.” He argued: “Proper fact-checking requires critical thinking, deep reporting, precise writing and an obsession with fairness. But most importantly, it requires transparency.”

Fani Willis, the embattled District Attorney for Fulton County, Ga., appears to be fighting hard to stay on her case against former President Donald Trump. She recently filed a motion that reflects her unhinged desperation to prevent an appeals court from revisiting Judge Scott McAfee’s ludicrous decision that permitted her to remain involved in the case as long as she fired her lover, Nathan Wade.

On Monday, April 15, President Donald Trump will become the first former president and the first major presidential candidate in American history to face a criminal trial. Not only is this unprecedented, it’s happening with one of the weakest criminal cases in recent memory.

Donald Trump is Hitler. I know it’s true because I saw it on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow said it. She wouldn’t lie, would she? Not only that, the President of the United States said it, and he wouldn’t lie, would he? Of course they would, it’s what they do. But more than the fact that they would is the fact that they have to. Democrats have soiled the sheets – taking the country from a booming economy to one where you can’t walk out of a grocery store for less than $80 is something so horrible you almost have to try to do it. You can’t run on that level of incompetence, so you have to try to convince people that the other guy is somehow worse. Since there is no unit of measure by which the economy under Donald Trump was worse than it is under Joe Biden, lying is absolutely required.

Every night since August 2022, a small crowd has gathered outside the Washington DC Central Jail, through frigid winter nights and under spring rain, to protest against the US justice system.

The protesters outside the red-brick buildings of the facility pray, discuss the news, and broadcast telephone calls with prisoners inside the jail, where hundreds of accused or convicted rioters have been held in the three years since the 6 January 2021 storming of the Capitol.

In recent months, as Donald Trump has gripped the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, the protesters have taken heart from the ex-president’s vocal public support for those who attacked Congress.

It’s the right thing to do.
