A very interesting duo, Trump and Musk. Steve Hayward has a chart from the NYT on powerlineblog.com, showing time in the private sector by the presidential and vice presidential candidates. Only Trump and Vance have been in private sector. As noted in comments none of last Dem presidents or vice presidents since Carter have had significant private sector experience; GOP presidents--even the Bushes--did.

72-Yr-Old ‘Jan 6 Praying Grandma’ Gets LARGEST EVER Fine, Biden-Harris Govt Claims ‘She Continues to Pose Political Violence Threat.’

https://thenationalpulse.com/2...cal-violence-threat/



Rebecca Lavrenz, known as the “J6 Praying Grandma,” has been sentenced to 12 months of probation, including six months of house arrest, and ordered to pay the largest misdemeanor fine in U.S. history for her involvement in the January 6th Capitol protests, The National Pulse can report

.Lavrenz, 72, was found guilty of four federal misdemeanor charges related to her participation in the protest against the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, which amounted to walking into an open door at the U.S. Capitol and praying in the tourist areas.

In his sentencing memo, Biden-Harris U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves opined that because Lavrenz had pointed out the political persecution of J6ers, she should be considered “unrepentant” in her “promotion of the riot.” That, Graves laughably claims, “is powerful evidence that she continues to pose a threat to future acts of political violence.

”A Muslim U.S. District Court Judge overseeing the case, Zia Faruqui, handed down a $103,000 fine, believed to be one of, if not the largest ever imposed for a misdemeanor charge in U.S. history. In addition to the fine, Lavrenz was ordered to pay $500 in restitution and banned from using the internet for six months. This restriction, typically reserved for cases involving child pornography, has raised concerns about its appropriateness, especially given the proximity to the upcoming presidential election.

At her sentencing, Lavrenz told the judge, “While I respect you, I answer to a higher judge.” Her defense team argued that the internet ban, which prevents her from managing her Bed & Breakfast business, checking her email, or accessing online banking, would severely impact her livelihood. Despite these concerns, the judge justified the restriction necessary to prevent the spread of “inflammatory material” online, particularly in the lead-up to the election – effectively an admission of election interference by a U.S. judge.

Faruqui also ordered Lavrenz to submit to government monitoring software on her computer and mobile phone, further limiting her digital freedom. Additionally, she will not be allowed to meet with her Congressman or Senator at the Capitol without the permission of her Probation Officer, adding another layer of restriction to her sentence.During the hearing, the judge made several pointed remarks, questioning Lavrenz’s priorities and expressing skepticism about her faith.

“I don’t know why being the J6 Praying Grandmother is more important than being an actual grandmother,” Faruqui said. He also criticized her involvement in what he described as a misguided ministry, stating, “Your faith is being misplaced right now” and suggesting that her ministry to strangers was less important than her obligations to her family.

The judge’s comments also extended to the financial support Lavrenz received for her legal defense, which he ordered to be confiscated. He claimed the funds were inappropriately raised, stating, “There is a wellspring of money that you have that I don’t believe is appropriate for you to have.

”Bizarrely, Judge Faruqui is also believed to have remarked, “You went in to try to find Congresspeople to find them and confront them. That’s unacceptable. You can’t do that. Nobody can do that. The way to do that is through our legal system. To go to court.

”Speaking exclusively to The National Pulse, Lavrenz’s lawyer John M. Pierce of the National Constitutional Law Union (NCLU) said: “We are pleased that Rebecca Lavrenz got no jail time. However, we believe the fine was one of the largest in American history for a misdemeanor case. This will make it very difficult for her to be able to vigorously pursue her appeal without a tremendous amount of help from donors.

“In addition, the 6-month internet restriction is unprecedented. We feel this is an unconstitutional restriction on her ability to speak about the 2024 election. It also severely limits her ability to fundraise to help pay for her appeal. This is yet another dark reminder of the two-tier system of justice that is eroding the very foundations of our Constitutional republic. The ‘Praying Grandma’ Rebecca Lavrenz is the finest our nation has to offer. We will fight for her and her beliefs to the very end.”People can still donate to Lavrenz for her appeal at this link.

I guess I've been wrong for many, many years. I always thought "hate speech" was like when someone calls for the murder of other people. It never occurred to me that calling for America to be great again was hate speech. Ya learn something new everyday.



Of all the enemies that the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst.

So a judge now has the power to decide how much money you have and how you obtained it is “appropriate” or not, and if he deems not it can be confiscated?


Can also restrict internet use in this day and age? How is that not a 1st amendment violation?

How is this legal in America? Where is the due process?


This absolutely infuriates me, I think I need to buy a pitchfork Mad

Someone needs to be tarred and feathered. And it ain’t grandma.

JFC, I was a cop and believe(d) in the system, but these federal judges heads are absolutely swollen with complete garbage. If a citizen is allowed to fight the government when it becomes too big or out of control (like our constitution allows) how is she wrong legally for protesting? W/o physically harming anyone?

Here is a quote from a dude who gets it:
"We have divided power between three branches of Government and erected checks and balances to prevent abuse of power. However, where is the check on the power of the Judiciary? If we fail to check the power of the Judiciary, I predict that we will eventually live under Judiciary tyranny".

Is 45booksDOTcom a legit site?
My mom is wanting to preorder “President Donald J. Trump’s” Save America book.

Looking to see if this is a legit book and site?

Trying to make sure she gets a book and the money does not go to some crappy company.

here is a helpful ‘condensed’ version of the interview, boiling it down from just over three hours to only 69 minutes...

https://x.com/AdrianDittmann/s.../1823251592847438059



That condensed ‘super cut’ version removes all the rambling, chit-chat, and throat-clearing, and makes for a quicker, more engaging listen.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
