For real? I didn't know that.
What's the ratio? Is it a large disparity?
I'm genuinely curious.




God bless America.

According to the Current Population Survey, 2020 voter turnout was 68.4% for women and 65.0% for men. About 9.7 million more women than men voted.



"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."

Are there more registered Democrats than Republicans? So if every registered voter showed up to vote, The Democrats would win every time?. Never really understood the voting percentage thing only because sometimes they don't vote for their party, or the voting system is rigged.

I know at least one woman in that % who voted had been dead for 20 years. Former resident of my house who died 5 years before I bought it. Confirmed when I submitted her name and address to the holiness post election.

^ I don't think Presiden't Trump's life is in danger. He has Secret Service protection and if you watched this weekend's UFC, you would see how thousands of people cheered him.

Court Rejects Bragg’s Request for Restraining Order Against Jordan

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...6tAOJxE0vIYMT3pzHVKc

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s urgent request to enter a restraining order against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was rejected on April 11, the same day it was filed.

U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump appointee, turned down Bragg’s emergency request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Jordan.

“The Court declines to enter the proposed Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause,” Vyskocil said, noting that she hadn’t yet received several documents that were referenced in Bragg’s filings.

She ordered Jordan and other defendants in the case to respond to the lawsuit and scheduled a hearing for April 19.

On April 11, Bragg sued Jordan for allegedly infringing on state sovereignty. Jordan has subpoenaed a former Bragg deputy and demanded documents from Bragg’s office regarding the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, who was indicted by a grand jury after being presented with charges by the Democrat district attorney.

Jordan “has no power under the Constitution to oversee state and local criminal matters,” Bragg’s suit stated.

Bragg’s office also asked the court to enter an order that would block Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee, which Jordan chairs, from enforcing the subpoena to former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz and prohibit Pomerantz from complying with it.

“The Judiciary Committee’s subpoena to Mr. Pomerantz marks the first time in our nation’s history that Congress has used its compulsory process to interfere with an ongoing state criminal case. The District Attorney is likely to succeed on the merits because the subpoena exceeds Congress’s authority and obstructs New York’s sovereign right to enforce its criminal law,” prosecutors said in a filing in support of their motion for a temporary restraining order.

“The subpoena would also irreparably injure the District Attorney by, among other things, interfering with an ongoing criminal case, compromising grand jury secrecy and the attorney-client privilege, and disrupting his preparation for trial. Finally, the balance of the equities and the public interest favor the District Attorney because the subpoena undercuts federalism principles and the fair administration of justice by injecting politics into a state criminal case.”

The defendants haven’t yet lodged any filings.

‘They’re Obstructing’
Jordan said on Fox News that Bragg is obstructing a legitimate congressional investigation.

“They’re obstructing our investigation,” Jordan said. “We have a constitutional duty to get to the facts, particularly when you have a district attorney interfering with the most important election we have, which is the election of the commander-in-chief; the president of the United States.”

Trump, who was president until early 2021, is running for a second term in 2024.

Bragg has asserted that Jordan and other members of Congress lack the authority to probe the Trump prosecution; Jordan disagrees, pointing to how federal funds were used to investigate Trump.

“First, they indict a president for no crime. Then, they sue to block congressional oversight when we ask questions about the federal funds they say they used to do it,” Jordan said in a statement.

Pomerantz wrote in his book that he left Bragg’s office because he was upset that Bragg wasn’t preparing to bring charges against Trump.

Jordan wrote in a letter accompanying the subpoena to the former prosecutor that Pomerantz had “no basis to decline to testify” because of the book.

“Based on your unique role as a special assistant district attorney leading the investigation into President Trump’s finances, you are uniquely situated to provide information that is relevant and necessary to inform the Committee’s oversight and potential legislative reforms,” he wrote.

Jordan noted the book’s contents as he questioned the new lawsuit.

“He takes us to court because we want to talk to someone who left the DA’s office a year ago, who went out and wrote a book on this very subject,” Jordan said on Fox.

It’s unclear whether Pomerantz will comply with the subpoena. Jordan initially requested voluntary cooperation, but Pomerantz said in a letter that Bragg’s office had instructed him “to not provide any information or materials in response” to Jordan’s request.

Jordan has also said that a subpoena for Bragg himself is an option.

“Everything’s on the table,” he said in one interview.

remember nut case E. Jean Carroll ? She is back suing Donald Trump

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2...ump-revealed-n731069

Donald Trump continues to face an ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual assault. A woman named E. Jean Carroll is suing the former president, claiming that he attacked her during the 1990s.

You may remember Carroll from some of her eccentric media appearances during the latter years of the Trump administration. For example, at one point, she stated that should have asked for his tax returns after he allegedly raped her in the dressing room of a department store. She also refused to allow DNA testing on the dress she claims to have been wearing. Further, she called rape “sexy” in an interview on CNN.

Whatever one wants to make of her story, it’s certainly been presented in a very odd way, at best. Perhaps there’s a reason for that? According to Yahoo News, Carroll isn’t going after Trump alone. Instead, she’s being funded by a billionaire Democrat megadonor named Reid Hoffman . Hoffman is the founder of the influential social media network LinkedIn.

Reid Hoffman, the billionaire behind LinkedIn who’s now a megadonor to Democrats, has been quietly bankrolling E. Jean Carroll’s rape case against former President Donald Trump, according to court records filed Thursday.

The surprising last-minute disclosures came out in contentious correspondence between lawyers for the aggrieved journalist and the pissed off former president, who are battling over whether to delay the trial scheduled to start in two weeks.

While it’s unclear if that payment arrangement has any material impact on the case itself, the fact that it remained secret until now will surely support Trump’s unrelenting, conspiratorial complaints that ultra rich liberals have been pulling the strings on the efforts to take him down.

Another issue here is that Carroll apparently lied in a deposition. She had previously claimed under oath that she was receiving no outside funding

Trump files $500 million lawsuit

https://newsrescue.com/trump-f...500-million-lawsuit/

Former US President Donald Trump has sued Michael Cohen for more than $500 million in damages, alleging that his former lawyer harmed his reputation by spreading lies about him and disclosing personal material that he was contractually and legally bound to keep private.

The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, accuses Cohen of violating attorney-client privilege and breaching a confidentiality agreement “with malicious intent and to wholly self-serving ends.”

The filing comes one week after Trump was arrested on a 34-count criminal indictment in New York City, where Cohen is expected to be a key witness in allegations that his then-boss falsified business records to cover up election law violations during his successful 2016 presidential campaign.

According to the lawsuit, Cohen began breaching his fiduciary duties as Trump’s lawyer and violating his confidentiality agreement in 2018, when he was facing federal accusations for tax evasion, fraud, and campaign finance violations. According to the lawsuit, the most “egregious” violations happened in Cohen’s two books and his podcast. He also made several television appearances, accusing Trump of racism and hinting that, in order to avoid imprisonment, he may turn over national secrets to America’s adversaries.

According to the lawsuit, Cohen utilized insider information about Trump as well as “numerous inflammatory and false statements” to unfairly profit himself. He also allegedly exaggerated his expenses while working for Trump, claiming $74,000 in bogus costs.

A $130,000 hush-money payment made by Cohen on Trump’s behalf to porn star Stormy Daniels is at the heart of the former president’s criminal case in New York. Prosecutors believe Trump misrepresented the fee as a legal expense. According to Trump’s lawsuit, Cohen chose on his own to pay Daniels to stay quiet about her claims of an affair with the billionaire real estate mogul. Trump stated that he followed Cohen’s legal counsel and proceeded to protect his family from “malicious and false claims” made by Daniels.

Cohen previously told CBS News that the indictment against Trump is about responsibility. “I should not be held accountable for Donald Trump’s dirty deeds,” he declared. He went on to say that holding the former president and “those in his orbit” accountable is important “because it saves and preserves democracy.”

Former President Donald Trump, who spoke later in the day, appeared to joke at Pence's expense over the boos, telling the crowd he heard they "made news" with the welcome.

"I hope you gave Pence a good warm approval," Trump said, as members of the crowd booed again.


When I heard Trump speak nicely of him and thought he was relatively sincere.

I think initially he was jabbing him then started to feel sorry for him and his welcome.

I didn't approve of Pence in the aftermarket of Jan 6 but Trump is right and he is a good person and was saying all the right things here.

Doesn't change the facts that he has ZERO chance of being President.
