 Goose. Gander. Yeah...that whole thing. He's a Libtarded blow-hard just like the rest of "them". "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group surged higher again on Wednesday, marking another boost to former President Donald Trump’s financial portfolio. The company’s stock rose 14.2 percent to $66.22 on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the shares started trading under the ticker symbol DJT, Donald Trump’s initials, after the merger of Trump Media with Digital World Acquisition Corp., the special-purpose acquisition company set-up to take Trump’s social media platform Truth Social public. The increase follows a Tuesday rise of 16 percent, lifting the company’s market valuation to roughly $8 billion. Trump’s portion—around 60 percent of the company—is estimated to be worth about $4.8 billion. The rapid rise in the price of the shares has many on Wall Street skeptical and investors have been mocked by Trump’s critics. Some have compared it to the “meme stock” surges that boosted the prices of shares of companies like AMC and GameStop a few years ago. It is still an open question about whether Trump will be able to use this windfall to meet the requirement to post a $175 million bond to appeal the civil fraud case in New York that results in a $454 million judgment against him. https://www.breitbart.com/econ...4/03/27/trump-media/ | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...battleground-states/ The Republican National Committee (RNC) is hiring “election integrity directors and election integrity councils in every battleground state” ahead of the general election, RNC chair Michael Whatley said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. When asked how Republicans can feel confident that every vote was counted properly in November, Whatley said “there’s really two components to it.” “Number one, you got to get out the vote. Number two, you have to protect the ballot, and we absolutely are focused on making sure that we have election integrity around the country,” he said, explaining that the RNC is “making sure that we have the laws, the rules and regulations in place in every state that are going to allow a fair election” and “working with legislators” as well as boards of elections and secretaries of state. “And then when they don’t, we’re going to the courts,” he said. “As the General Counsel of the RNC for the past year, I put us in over 75 different lawsuits. We’ve added five different ones since I became chair. So we’re now in 80 different lawsuits around the country, making sure that the rules of the road are going to ensure a fair election and that the states are going to follow,” he said, highlighting a “huge win yesterday in Pennsylvania, which means that all of the absentee ballots have to be in and it has to be postmarked, which is a big deal.” “We’re winning cases around the country right now. The second big thing that we have to do is you got to be in the room,” he said, stressing the need for “observers and attorneys in every room where votes are being cast, in every room where votes are being counted across the country.” “And that’s a big logistical issue. We’re talking about tens of thousands of volunteers, thousands of attorneys that we are right now in the field recruiting and training so that we can have them in place on election day,” he continued. When host Mike Slater pressed Whatley for a more “offensive” move, he said the RNC is “already hiring election integrity directors and election integrity councils in every battleground state to start putting these teams together,” which are going to be on the ground. “Like I said, we’ve filed 80 lawsuits already in 24 different states to make sure that we’ve got good rules on the road, and that we’re going to have, the state’s going to be following the rules that they have,” he said. “We want this to be the biggest, most proactive election integrity campaign ever.” | |||

Democratic lawyer slammed Fani Willis as ‘utter embarrassment’ for not taking herself off Trump case https://www.washingtonexaminer...king-off-trump-case/ Democratic attorney Julian Epstein called Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s handling of former President Donald Trump‘s racketeering election case an “utter embarrassment” on Thursday. On Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade Show, the Democratic strategist said Trump was in the “right” to appeal the case because of Willis’s handling of it. Willis came under fire for appointing Nathan Wade as special prosecutor, with whom she had a romantic relationship. “Well, I think if Fani Willis had any real interest in this case, she would resign or recuse herself from it,” Epstein said. “This is an utter embarrassment.” “In my opinion, this was a kickback scheme, where she hired a boyfriend who was then providing her all kinds of benefits,” he said. “I think those are very hard to believe. I think the judge was right to allow the Trump team to appeal. And I think there’s not just that question about whether she should be kicked off the case. So I think there’s a question potentially about perjury.” Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the case, announced on Wednesday that Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the order to keep Willis on the case. He said there was an “unbelievable conflict” in this case. “In any case, this is an utter embarrassment, for the, you know, amongst many other embarrassments, for the … crowd that is, you know, prosecuting Trump in the eleventh hour of this campaign,” he said. Trump and his attorneys have 10 days to submit an application to the Georgia Court of Appeals. The appeals court will have 45 days from March 15 to decide if it will hear the case. Under Georgia law, the court is not required to hear the case. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

The BS is never ending but you have to give the loons credit. They try not to miss any conceivable angle. Wish the repubs were as imaginative. From CNN of course: "Federal judge warns of Trump’s attacks in extraordinary rebuke" "A sitting federal judge on Thursday harshly criticized Donald Trump’s attacks on the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal case tied to alleged hush money payments, telling CNN that such statements threaten the viability of the American legal system." I'd say the goings-on in NY and Georgia threaten it far beyond anything Trump says. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/29...mp-rebuke/index.html | |||

Sooo... ^^^that^^^ whole narrative needs to go away. Everyone, and it does seem like everyone, keeps letting that phrase slide. They made a bilateral funded non-disclosure agreement (NDA), both parties agreed to it, she violated it. This case really pivots around where the money came from to fund the "agreement". If I understand this correctly, he used personal money to "fund the NDA"/"pay her off". Whatever. Bragg "alleges" it was a campaign function and he should have used campaign funds to pay for it. BUT, if he would have, then the FEC(Federal Election Commission) would have charged him with campaign fraud for that.

I agree. Michael Whatley has been a believer of ballot fraud and corruption from day 1 in the 2020 election. So it makes sense that the RNC makes this issue its number one priority, something the old RNC was not willing to meet head on. I also think the Democrats are in panic mode, partly because their ballot fraud tricks in 2020 are no longer a surprise to Republicans now, who are not only expecting it, but doing all they can to battle it. It was a brilliant move on Trump's part to gain control of the RNC.

Yes and Yes! "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 "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

POS Judge Reggie Walton is at it again, this time going on their state-run media to blast Trump. https://www.foxnews.com/politi...unseemly-experts-say By Brianna Herlihy | Fox News Published March 29, 2024 5:45pm EDT A federal judge from Washington, D.C., is facing criticism for what experts are calling "inappropriate" comments about former President Trump in a media interview as Trump faces a federal trial in the judge's district. Senior U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton for the District of Columbia appeared in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday after Trump criticized the daughter of New York Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the hush money case scheduled to go to trial April 15. Walton, in a rare media appearance for a sitting judge, sat for the interview Thursday and criticized Trump’s comments, calling them "very disconcerting." But legal experts tell Fox News Digital that Walton’s comments were "inappropriate" because Trump is a defendant in Walton's district in a separate case brought by special counsel Jack Smith’s case. "Judge Reggie Walton is a sitting federal judge in a district where Donald Trump is currently a criminal defendant with an active case. He should not be publicly commenting in media interviews on anything related to him, full stop," said Kerri Kupec Urbhan, former counselor to Attorney General Bill Barr and Fox News legal editor. "This is yet another example of a lack of regard for the appearance of fairness when it comes to Donald Trump, which, whether you like Trump or not, flies in the face of what judges and the justice system are supposed to be about." Merchan this week imposed a gag order on the former president and 2024 GOP presumptive nominee ahead of the trial next month. In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump referenced the judge’s daughter by name and called her a "Rabid Trump Hater" for her associations with a firm that’s consulted Democratic candidates and causes, suggesting that "totally compromised" her father and calling for his removal from the case. Merchan issued the gag order against Trump Tuesday, pointing to his "prior extrajudicial statements," saying they establish "a sufficient risk to the administration of justice." Merchan ordered that Trump cannot make or direct others to make public statements about witnesses concerning their potential participation or about counsel in the case — other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — or about court staff, DA staff or family members of staff. Trump also referred to a Twitter account formerly owned by Merchan's daughter that features a picture of Trump behind prison bars as the profile image. Walton, who has also presided over Jan. 6, 2021, cases in his district, told CNN he was "concerned" about Trump’s comments. "We have had judges who’ve lost their lives or family members who’ve lost their lives as a result of individuals who have been litigants in their courtroom. And I think it’s important in order to preserve our democracy that we maintain the rule of law," he said. "The rule of law can only be maintained if we have independent judicial officers … and that the law is applied equally to everyone who appears in our courthouse. "I think it’s important that, as judges, we speak out and say things and reference to things that conceivably are going to impact on the process, because if we don’t have a viable court system, we have tyranny." Walton's office declined to comment when reached by Fox News Digital. John Shu, a constitutional attorney who served in both Bush administrations, told Fox News Digital Walton’s comments were "unseemly." "It’s unseemly for Judge Walton to publicly discuss Trump or a Trump case, regardless of which one, because one of Trump’s active criminal cases is in Judge Walton’s court, the federal district court in D.C.," he said. Shu added that "it seems that the interviewer wrongly conflated Trump’s harsh social media critiques about Judge Merchan and his daughter – which probably fall within First Amendment protections – and the awful, actual threats that Judge Walton and his family faced, which are considered criminal behavior and thus not protected speech." "Just like the awful, actual threats that Justices Alito, Coney Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Roberts and Thomas and their respective families had to deal with after the Dobbs draft opinion leak," Shu noted. Following the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court opinion, which eventually overturned Roe v. Wade, crowds of protesters swarmed the homes of several of the justices in the majority opinion for several days. One man was charged with plotting an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Carrie Severino, the president of Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) and former clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, said ensuring the safety of judges and their families is critical for the rule of law. But, she said, "it's surprising that some of the people who have praised Judge Walton for his comments weren't speaking out when there was an attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh, or when left-wing groups doxxed six of the justices and illegally protested at their homes after the Dobbs opinion leaked." Merchan announced Monday that the trial will begin April 15. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges. Q | |||

Former President Trump and eight co-defendants asked a state appeals court on Friday to review a judge’s ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Williams to stay on the election interference case. “DA Willis has covered herself and her office in scandal and disrepute, as she has squandered her credibility and repeatedly and flagrantly violated the heightened ethical standards demanded of her position,” the appeal states. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...fani-willis-n2637161 | |||

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2...es-approved-n3785598 New Georgia Voting Rules Approved The bill also clarifies the grounds for challenging voter eligibility. Voters may be challenged on the grounds of being dead (duh), having voted or registered to vote in a different jurisdiction, having filed property taxes in a different jurisdiction, or listed a non-residential address on their registration. It's unclear what items on that list would be objectionable to the many Democrats who voted against the bill. We obviously can't have dead people voting (which happened multiple times in New York in 2020) and any registration listing a commercial property as an address is suspect. Democrats attempted to explain their "no" votes by claiming that the law would result in more "baseless attacks" on voters. But who would such attacks be aimed at? Dead people? Those attempting to vote twice or even more? Both of those things happened repeatedly in New York's then-20th Congressional District in 2020 and several people were arrested. Assuming Kemp signs the bill, starting in 2026, Georgia ballots will no longer be scanned using QR codes. Many voters complained that all identifying information should be readable by human eyes. The bill would require future ballots to include either readable text or filled-in markers such as bubbles. There haven't been too many issues with the QR codes thus far, but this change will make the work of monitors easier. A comment to this article: Florida changed mail in ballot and dropbox rules in time for the 2020 election. That's why Trump won by 3+% here rather than "losing" like he did in GA, AZ, WI, MI and NV. Mail in ballots required 100% signature match and drop boxes were only allowed inside voting locations. Oh, and mail in ballots had to be requested by the voter. | |||

Dear Judge Walton, Do you remember what this symbol means?? Does it ring any bells?? Perhaps something you learned in Law 101. JSMH...  My broski has a REAL issue with this on our ballots here in Texas. I'll urge him to work with his State Rep to get this changed here. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.
