In other news, remember Mary Trump? It's all about money, after all. Her fraudulent book didn't sell, so now she's suing the Trump family for.............MONEY!  https://www.foxnews.com/politi...-millions-of-dollars Mary Trump files fraud suit against president, siblings By Brooke Singman | Fox News Published 29 mins ago President Trump’s niece Mary Trump filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging that she was pushed out of the family business and that the president and his siblings cheated her out of tens of millions of dollars over the past several decades. The lawsuit was filed in state court in New York City, seeking unspecified damages. “Fraud was not just the family business — it was a way of life,” the lawsuit stated. The suit alleged that the president, his late brother Robert Trump, and a sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, portrayed themselves as Mary Trump’s protectors, while secretly taking her share of interests in the family’s real estate holdings. According to the suit, the president and his siblings devalued Mary Trump’s interests, which included a share of hundreds of New York City apartments, by millions of dollars, even before Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., died in 1999. After his death, Mary Trump and her brother filed objections to the will, according to the suit, and the president and his siblings “ratcheted up the pressure” to settle by cutting off health insurance to them. The suit described the action as “unfathomable cruelty.” Meanwhile, the suit stated that the Trump family provided fraudulent accounting and financial statements that misrepresented the value of Fred Trump Sr.’s estate at $30 million or less, as they pressured Mary Trump to accept a settlement. “In reality, Mary’s interests were worth tens of millions of dollars more than what Defendants represented to her and what she received,” the lawsuit stated. Mary Trump’s lawyers did not say how much she ultimately received, citing the confidentiality clause in a settlement of the dispute over Fred Trump Sr.’s will, but based on the numbers provided in the lawsuit, it appeared unlikely that she would have received more than several million dollars. The lawsuit comes after Mary Trump published a tell-all memoir, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.” The book hit shelves on July 14. Prior to the release of the book, the president’s brother, Robert Trump, who passed away last month, filed a lawsuit requesting a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order to prevent the book from coming out. Robert Trump had claimed Mary Trump was barred from writing about private family affairs because of a non-disclosure agreement she signed as part of a settlement over her inheritance. The book highlighted “how Donald [Trump] acquired twisted behaviors and values,” including that “financial worth is the same as self-worth; humans are only valued in monetary terms,” that “taking responsibility for your failures is discouraged,” and “cheating as a way of life.” “In addition to the firsthand accounts I can give as my father’s daughter and my uncle’s only niece, I have the perspective of a trained clinical psychologist,” Mary Trump wrote in the prologue. “'Too Much and Never Enough' is the story of the most visible and powerful family in the world. And I am the only Trump who is willing to tell it.” Fox News' Maria Patronich and the Associated Press contributed to this report. Q | |||

Ann Coulters article from Brietbart yesterday Innocent Until Proven Trump Supporter. During a BLM “peaceful protest” in Omaha, Nebraska, on May 30 (over George Floyd’s death in police custody in Minneapolis), James Scurlock was peacefully protesting by breaking into an architecture firm — hoisting an office chair and hurling it into two computer monitors, then ripping a phone from a desk and throwing it against the wall, as his friend shattered another monitor — all of which was captured on video. Nearby, Jake Gardner, an Iraq War veteran and Trump supporter, was keeping watch over the two bars he owned, The Hive and The Gatsby, aided by his 68-year-old father and a security guard. The peaceful protesters soon made their way to Jake’s bar, where they hurled a street sign through The Hive’s plate-glass window. He and his father rushed outside to prevent the peaceful protesters from storming his bar. Scurlock’s friend, catching his wind after smashing computer monitors, knocked Gardner’s father to the ground. (It’s on tape.) Or as CNN’s Madeline Holcombe put it: “An unidentified man can be seen pushing Gardner’s father.” Gardner rushed to help his father, then backed away toward the bar, lifting his shirt to show the protesters he was armed, and telling them to move along. Again, it’s all on tape. Murmurings can be heard from the crowd: “That (expletive) got a gun” and “It’s not worth it (expletive) you stu–,” At that point, peaceful protester Alayna Melendez leapt on Gardner from behind (not subscribers to the Marquess of Queensberry rules, these peaceful protesters), knocking him down and into the street, whereupon yet another peaceful protester jumped on top of Gardner, who fired two warning shots in the air, scattering his first two assailants. Again: all on tape. Three seconds later, as Gardner was trying to get up, Scurlock jumped on him from behind and put him in a chokehold — which I believe is considered definitive proof of intentional murder when performed by a police officer. In videos, Gardner can be heard yelling, “Get off me! Get off me!” With his right arm pinned, and Scurlock choking him, Gardner moved the gun to his left hand and shot over his shoulder, hitting Scurlock in the collarbone, killing him. Or as the New York Times’ Azi Paybarah explained it: “Mr. Gardner got into a fight with one man, James Scurlock, 22. The two scuffled before Mr. Gardner fired a shot that killed him.” They “scuffled.” It brings to mind the Times headline from Nov. 24, 1963: “President Kennedy Dies in Dallas After Scuffle — Albeit at Great Distance — With Lee Harvey Oswald.” Let’s be fair, though. Maybe Scurlock jumped Gardner, or maybe Gardner jumped Scurlock. Who knows? It’s not like there are 4 million videos of the incident. Gardner was immediately taken into police custody for questioning and held until 11 p.m. the next night. The Democratic district attorney, Don Kleine, his chief deputy Brenda Beadle, and all the homicide detectives spent 12 hours that weekend reconstructing the incident with multiple videos. Their unanimous conclusion? That Gardner shot Scurlock in self-defense. Despite the delusional claims posted on “social media” that Gardner used the N-word — which, as we all know, is grounds for immediate execution by any black person — none of the videos substantiate that. To the contrary, Scurlock’s own friend denied that Gardner said anything racial at all. (Apparently, you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.) At 22, Scurlock already had a rap sheet a mile long, including home invasion, assault and battery, domestic violence — and, of course, he was in the middle of a crime spree that very night. Methamphetamine and cocaine were found in his urine. But “the community” erupted like COVID in April. Nebraska state Sen. Megan Hunt (bisexual, graduate of a now-defunct college) repeatedly called Gardner a “white supremacist.” Another Nebraska state senator, Kara Eastman (bisexual), called Gardner’s shooting of Spurlock a “cold-blooded murder.” (Why do I mention their sexual orientations? A lot of the hate toward Gardner seems to come from the transgender community for saying on Facebook that transgenders would be restricted to the unisex bathrooms after a man in a dress attacked a female customer in the ladies’ room.) Twitter was full of unattractive humans claiming that Gardner was a “white supremacist,” which were dutifully reprinted in local media, such as this one from @nostudavab (Twitter banner: “F*CK TRUMP”): “Club owner Jake Gardner shot and killed a protestor in Omaha on video, yelling racial slurs. he is openly racist and homophobic. he murdered James Scurlock, he’s proud of it, and he’s not in jail.” Protesters besieged Kleine’s neighborhood. Kleine responded to the mob’s demand for “justice” by calling in a black prosecutor, Fred Franklin, to make damn sure the grand jury indicted Gardner — whom Kleine (the elected D.A.) had found to be innocent. As he was expected to do, Franklin produced a series of fanciful indictments, including for manslaughter and making a “terroristic threat.” (The “terroristic threat” was Gardner lifting his shirt to show the peaceful protesters that he was armed.) The special prosecutor’s ALL NEW EVIDENCE THAT BLEW THE OTHER FACTS AWAY was this: The night of the BLM protest, Gardner had posted on Facebook: “Just when you think ‘what else could 2020 throw at me?’ Then you have to pull 48 hours of military style firewatch.” WHY WAS THIS MAN NOT IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED? Gardner’s landlord, Frank Vance, immediately evicted The Hive and The Gatsby, and sent an anguished apology letter to Scurlock’s family (“deepest sympathy … the pain and suffering … losing a child to unnecessary violence … apologize for this horrible incident … time to heal … very deepest condolences”). Gardner was facing 95 years in prison for shooting a career criminal who was choking him, and now he had lost his source of income. So naturally his friends tried to set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for his legal defense. GoFundMe’s response? They immediately and repeatedly took down the page, based on their clearly stated policy: We don’t like you. Here’s a thought, GoFundMe: Guaranteeing a fair trial for an individual accused of a crime isn’t the same as defending the thing he’s accused of. That’s the whole point: Gardner wanted to prove that he was innocent. Nope! No fair trial, no fair press, no livelihood, no GoFundMe. No chance. Meanwhile, the family of the convicted criminal who jumped Gardner has already raised more than a quarter-million dollars on GoFundMe. (Funeral expenses can be costly!) Poor Jake Gardner didn’t stand a chance against the raging, hate-filled multitude. Even those sworn to uphold the law, like Kleine and Franklin, leapt in with the mob. And a corporation whose business it is to enable people to raise money for just causes such as getting a fair trial refused to do business with him, not unlike the Memphis Woolworth’s treatment of black people in 1960. Sadly, President Trump never said a word about his polite, cheerful supporter being railroaded in Omaha. Gardner had attended Trump’s inauguration with such high hopes. He had well wishes even for the (can we say “insane”?) protesters he encountered there. Last weekend, facing death threats and a kangaroo court, and with no means to mount a defense, Gardner killed himself, rather than be killed by the mob waiting for him back in Omaha. This is the part of the column where I make a clarion call for action. How about civil suits against the monsters in the prosecutor’s office, against the criminal-supporting GoFundMe and the Facebook and Twitter defamation mobs! Maybe a department of justice investigation or FCC action against biased social media companies. Antitrust suits. Boycotts! I’ve got nothing. The country has gone mad. I always figured the first armed civilian who ever fought back would put an end to the violence exploding all over the country — the violence that police and prosecutors can’t or won’t stop. “We have the guns,” conservatives like to say. In fact, it’s even worse now. It’s official: You can’t protect yourself. Not even a blameless ex-Marine could defend himself from being choked to death. The D.A. will call in a “special” prosecutor to throw you to the wolves, and they’ll both be praised for railroading an innocent man in the Omaha World Herald, while the “elite” media defame you.

I agree she has to add in the "trump" factor to be relevant, however the point about how Trump Supporters and people defending themselves are railroaded by the courts and prosecutors, while many of the rioters roam the streets without bail is valid... | |||

No disagreement here. We're facing outright political violence that's being sanctioned by seemingly half the country. The message is clear: "Sit down, shut up, and take whatever abuse we feel like heaping on you even to the point of murdering you and yours and burning down everything you own because we feel it's just. If you try to resist to any degree, we'll ostracize you, bankrupt you, jail you, and ruin what's left of your miserable life. We'll also accept your suicide in lieu of those choices. One way or the other, your time has ended." I just wish she could have found a way to make that point without blaming the one guy trying to stand between us and that fate, as you and I have both illustrated ways it can be done. Anyone who calls themselves a conservative, and is still a NeverTrumper at this stage of the game is either a complete mental defective, a liar, or so confused about reality as to not be worth listening to anyway. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

This is from super liberal Axios, but I've seen the same theme elsewhere: A lot of mail in votes get rejected because of mistakes https://hotair.com/archives/ed...mass-mail-balloting/ After demanding for months that states adopt mass mail-in voting systems for this election to deal with COVID-19 risks, Democrats have suddenly pivoted, Axios reports today. Suddenly campaigns from Team Biden on down are emphasizing in-person ballot casting and hand delivery of mail-in ballots to polling stations. When states have adopted mass-mailed balloting, however, the problems in compliance have exploded exponentially. In New York’s primary, which took place three months ago, invalidation rates reached 20-25% in New York City alone. California’s primary in March resulted in over 100,000 discarded ballots. None of this is new, either; absentee ballots always have higher invalidation rates, but the impact is usually minor because almost all ballots in elections are cast in person in most states. A fresh Pennsylvania state Supreme Court ruling could impact tens of thousands of ballots in that swing state. In Florida, voters are twice as likely to have their absentee ballot rejected if they’ve never voted that way before, University of Florida political science professor Dan Smith told Axios. In North Carolina, “Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters,” per FiveThirtyEight. Overall, data shows new, younger, Black and Hispanic voters are more likely to have their ballots rejected. More than 550k mail-in ballots were rejected during the presidential primaries this year, per an NPR analysis. The state Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, a critical battleground state that’s seen as increasingly likely to determine who wins the White House, last week ordered officials to throw out “naked ballots” — mail ballots that arrive without inner “secrecy envelopes.” Pennsylvania uses a two-envelope mail ballot system: A completed ballot goes into a “secrecy envelope” that has no identifying information, and then into a larger mailing envelope that the voter signs. It’s unclear how many naked ballots there will be, because this is the first year any Pennsylvania voter can vote by mail, and most counties counted them in the June primary without tracking how many there were. When counting mail ballots, elections officials first check the information on the mailing envelope to confirm the validity of the vote. Then the outer envelope is opened and the secrecy envelope containing the ballot is set aside. From that point forward, the vote is anonymous. Naked ballots are ones without those secrecy envelopes. Nothing else is necessarily improper with the ballots themselves or the mailing envelopes. In North Carolina, absentee ballots have already been sent back and the state has been updating statistics on those ballots daily. As of September 17, Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters, according to the state’s numbers. The vast majority of these ballots were rejected because voters made a mistake or failed to fill out the witness information, according to state records. A rejected ballot does not necessarily mean the voter is denied his or her vote: North Carolina allows for a process called “vote curing,” where voters are notified that there’s a mistake and given a chance to fix their ballot. But that’s not an option in every state. And even that isn’t foolproof. In Nevada’s statewide primary in June, for example, 12,366 ballots had a missing or mismatched signature, but even after voters were notified to fix it, only 45 percent were successfully cured. many Black voters and voters of color casting mail ballots are doing so for the first time, and first time vote-by-mail voters tend to make more mistakes because they’re less familiar with the requirements. “We’re seeing already a lack of familiarity with the process, whether it’s signing the ballot or having the witness information completed,” Bitzer said. “There tends to be a greater number from voters who were previously in-person voters. If you look at the numbers [from Sept. 14], the ballots denied due to incomplete witness information, 55 percent of those voters had voted in person in 2016.” https://fivethirtyeight.com/fe...n-than-white-voters/ | |||

Trump, the Great Peacemaker! This is Lake Trump and it is in Kosovo  An idea that started as a joke for the Ujman Lake, which Serbs refer to as Gazivoda, to find a compromise name seems to be taking shape. During the negotiations at the White House, the US Presidential envoy for the dialogue, Richard Grenell, gave the idea to name the lake after Trump. https://www.gazetaexpress.com/...and-it-is-in-kosovo/ | |||
