      1. the the judge allowed her to go on and on in her tangents without reining her in is suspect.

        also, did you know the judge worked for her at some point before he became a judge? how the hell is THAT allowed?

  10. Eric Trump

    @EricTrump

    Judge Engoron is truly a cruel man — he knows that every single witness testified to the fact that I had absolutely NOTHING to do with this case (as INSANE as the case truly is). No other judge would ever have allowed my name to be dragged through the mud. This is not justice in America — this is political vengeance by a judge out to get my father, the frontrunner for President of the United States.

    Let’s do some math. President Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3m and $354m. Combined its $437m. Including interest, it could be another $100m. His net worth is estimated to be between $2b to $2.6b. That’s estimated to be between 21% to 27% of his net worth. However, experts have claimed that Trump has somewhere between $600m to $700m is in cash. Trump has said that he only has $400m in cash. This may seem like a lot to the average person but not when you’re being asked to pay $537m in damages + interest. This doesn’t include the legal fees that have been pilling up as well as the fines his two sons received. If he chooses to appeal, he would have to secure a bond by putting up about 10% of the total amount owed. That could be $44m which he may not get back. In other words, this non sense decision and insane dollar amount by the judge could deplete Trump’s savings anywhere from (-$137m) to $163m. Love him or hate him, this is what it means. 1. Thirty years from now, a woman can come out and falsely claim allegations against YOU, and if the judge hates your politics, they will believe her and made up any number to destroy your life savings. 2. If you build your wealth through real estate, and pay back all your commitments to banks, buyers and sellers, a judge who hates your politics could make up any number to deplete YOUR life savings and prevent you from doing business. So what does this do to capitalists and those with aspirations to run in the future. 1. Scare the crap out of great future candidates. 2. Eliminate anyone’s family from supporting their father or mother from running. 3. Distance family members from those who choose to run to avoid being sued. Notice which of Trumps kids got sued and who didn’t. 4. Make the candidate rethink why they ever chose to run in the first place and ruin the lifestyle of the rich and famous they once had. Or last but not least it could ENERGIZE an entire new generation who love 🇺🇸 to realize how much trouble she’s in to fight like hell and defend the the values this nation was built on. This requires a certain level of courage that words can’t describe. This won’t be a fight for everyone. You’re going to have to have a few screws missing to get in this fight. But what is FREEDOM worth to YOU? That’s the most important question one has to ask. God is good. Future looks bright!

    1. The fact of the matter is that Trump HAS filed for bankruptcy multiple times in the past. But in that realm, this is what a LOT of corporate owners do. It is a mechanism to get out of bad deals, pure and simple. There is far too much leeway given to corporations in this regard, IMO!

  14. The National Pulse: “CNN to Slash Salaries”

    “CNN’s new top-ranking executive, Mark Thompson, plans to cut anchor salaries, which currently exceed $50 million, as part of a strategy to transform the network into a U.S. version of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

    Thompson, former head of the BBC and The New York Times, is reportedly planning a “revolution” at CNN, with no talent spared, including high earners such as prime-time anchor Anderson Cooper, who earns an estimated $20 million a year, and Wolf Blitzer, who receives about $15 million annually. Other co-anchors, including John Berman, Kate Bolduan, and Sara Sidner, earn between $1 million to $2 million per annum.

    Thompson also plans to trim production costs “that now look difficult to support,” according to a staff memo. Media experts and former staffers suggest these cuts will impact salaries. However, the contracts of stars like Cooper and Jake Tapper won’t expire until after the presidential election.

    Thompson’s actions come amidst low ratings and increasing competition from rivals Fox and MSNBC. He announced the removal of hosts Poppy Harlow and Phil Mattingly from their show, “This Morning,” and a reshuffling of “CNN News Central.”

    The network will cease production of morning programming from New York and move production to Atlanta. CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, has been urged to sell the network while it maintains significant TV distribution.”

  15. “What The Media Won’t Tell You About Alexei Navalny”

    The National Pulse, Saturday, February 17, 2024

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has reportedly died in an Arctic penal colony. Western media and politicians are, predictably, lionizing him as a “free spirit” and martyr for democracy — but the truth about the late 47-year-old is more complex. 

    A political chameleon, he spent his final years as a staunch critic of the Ukraine war, advocating for Russia to pay reparations and legalize gay marriage — knowing, as a prisoner of the Kremlin, that his prospects depended entirely on currying favor with the Western establishment and hoping for Putin to come to a sticky end. 

    Things were quite different, however, when he was a younger man with a real presence in domestic politics. Back then, Navalny positioned himself to Putin’s right, tying up with Russian March activists more concerned with protesting demographic change than corruption. 

    “Immigrants from Central Asia bring in drugs,” Navalny complained in 2012 — remarks that would have earned him the lifelong enmity of the Western media-political class if he had been an American candidate expressing the same sentiments about, say, Mexicans. 

    He has gone much farther than that, too. Like the Russian March activists he allied with, he advocates a “Russia for [ethnic] Russians” and once posted a video of himself dressed as a dentist, comparing immigrants to cavities in need of removal. He peppered his pitch with photographs of corpses, Nazi iconography, and a graphic video of a cartoon character having its lower jaw ripped off. 

    It remains present on his YouTube page to this day and was so objectionable to the Western left that Amnesty International temporarily stripped him of his “prisoner of conscience” status when people began pointing it out years after the fact.

    ‘RODENTS.’

    Navalny’s “anti-imperialist” stance concerning the wars Putin has waged in Russia’s “near abroad” also appears to be calculated. 

    In 2011, he said the Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians were one people who would eventually be reunited. After the Maidan Revolution sparked the first phase of the Ukraine war in 2014, he was equivocal, suggesting the Russian intervention was wrong but agreeing Crimea was essentially Russian and could not be “handed back” to Ukraine. 

    Towards the end of his life, he changed his mind again, saying Crimea should indeed be “handed back” to Zelensky. This supposed “evolution” of his foreign policy positions appears even starker when we cast our minds back to 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia. Then, still a free man, with his 2013 run for Moscow mayor still years in the future, he backed intervention to the hilt and even branded the Georgians “rodents.” 

    Who, then, was Alexei Navalny? A firm opponent of Putin, to be sure, and one who, at times, told the Western establishment what they wanted to hear. His true convictions, if he had any, we will never know — but we do know the convictions of the people rushing to present him as something he wasn’t.”

  16. Judge Orders Trump To Pay Whatever Amount It Takes To Bankrupt Campaign

    POLITICS · Feb 16, 2024 · BabylonBee.com

    NEW YORK — Former President Trump’s civil trial in New York has concluded with Judge Arthur Engoron ordering that Trump pay whatever dollar amount is necessary to bankrupt his Presidential campaign.

    “I, Judge Engoron, hereby rule that President Trump must pay — hang on, let me google what his campaign raised last quarter,” said Judge Engoron. “Oh forget it, whatever it takes to crush Trump’s re-election, that’s how much Trump owes. Case closed!”

    The civil trial was initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James who argued that Trump received good terms on bank loans, thus endangering democracy. “Trump receiving a slightly better interest rate on a loan fifteen years ago was the death rattle of America,” said James. “At last, with using Trump’s conviction on a victimless crime to bankrupt one of the two major Presidential candidates, democracy has been saved.”

    According to legal scholars, the case hinged on whether Trump had inflated the worth of his real estate holdings in order to secure more favorable loan rates. After careful review, Judge Engoron ruled that Trump’s 63,000 square-foot mansion at Mar-A-Lago, including multiple beaches, was worth approximately eight dollars. As such, Judge Engoron declared that banks had been nice to Trump, which clearly caused people living in New York terrible distress, and that could only be assuaged by Trump being forced to pay enough money to destroy his campaign.

    At publishing time, Judge Engoron had also ruled that Trump had to also pay off the national debt and go pick up his dry cleaning.”

  31. NF: This is ridiculous! 144 out of 82K people should NOT halt the danged settlement!!! And I see no reason whatsoever why this settlement would affect any future lawsuits against other entities.

    JUST THE NEWS: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Friday temporarily halted the Boy Scouts of America’s $2.46 billion sexual abuse settlement after a small group of claimants sought to block the settlement.

    The number of claimants seeking to block the settlement is only 144 out of the 82,000 people who filed claims for payment in the organization’s bankruptcy. They have asked the court to halt the settlement, arguing that it prevents them from filing other lawsuits against organizations that have not gone bankrupt, including churches that ran Boy Scout programs, according to Fox News.

    Alito issued the pause “pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court.” One of the lawyers representing 67 of the 144 claimants told Reuters that they are excited about the issued stay, even though it is just temporary. The stay will give the court time to look over a request by some of the abuse claimants.

    The Boy Scouts of America told Fox News Digital that this is “not a decision on the merits of the plaintiffs’ application for a stay of the plan.” The organization filed for bankruptcy in 2020 after decades of sexual abuse claims had been made, and after several states passed laws allowing accusers to sue over the decades-old abuse allegations.”

  35. “State Department Threatens Congress Over Censorship Programs—A year after its censorship programs were exposed, the Global Engagement Center still insists the public has no right to know how it’s spending taxpayer money”
    MATT TAIBBI
    FEB 17, 2024
    EXCERPT: “You can look, but don’t touch!”

    The State Department is so unhappy a newspaper published details about where it’s been spending your taxes, it’s threatened to only show a congressional committee its records in camera until it gets a “better understanding of how the Committee will utilize this sensitive information.” Essentially, Tony Blinken is threatening to take his transparency ball home unless details about what censorship programs he’s sponsoring stop appearing in papers like the Washington Examiner:

    A year ago the Examiner published “Disinformation, Inc.”, a series by investigative reporter Gabe Kaminsky describing how the State Department was backing a UK-based agency that creates digital blacklists for disfavored media outlets. Your taxes helped fund the Global Disinformation Index, or GDI, which proudly touts among its services an Orwellian horror called the Dynamic Exclusion List, a digital time-out corner where at least 2,000 websites were put on blast as unsuitable for advertising, “thus disrupting the ad-funded disinformation business model.”

    The culprit was the Global Engagement Center, a little-known State Department entity created in Barack Obama’s last year in office and a surprise focus of Twitter Files reporting. The GEC grew out of a counter-terrorism agency called the CSCC and has a mission to “counter” any messaging, foreign or domestic as it turns out, that they see as “undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States.”

    The GEC-funded GDI rated ten conservative sites as most “risky” and put the Examiner on its “exclusion” list, while its ten sites rated at the “lowest level of disinformation” included Buzzfeed, which famously published the Steele Dossier knowing it contained errors and is now out of business….”

    Election Integrity Update: The End Zuckerbucks Act PASSED the House Administration Committee Markup

    “During the 2020 Election, Mark Zuckerberg dumped $350 million into the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), a left-leaning non-profit run by former Obama staffers. CTCL then funneled this money directly to Boards of Elections, completely bypassing any accountability or oversight from state legislatures or local governments. CTCL said at the time that this money was for PPE, but it was actually used for just about everything but PPE. As election officials have since admitted, this includes Get Out the Vote campaigns, mailers to registered voters, and online voter registration drives. In addition, 92% of this money went to Democratic-leaning precincts.

    I [Rep. Claudia Tenney (R) NY, District 24] introduced the End Zuckerbucks Act to amend the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations from directly funding official election organizations through donations or donated services. This bill works to prevent Silicon Valley billionaires and special interest groups from spending millions of dollars to directly influence election administration and voting policy, strengthening the security and integrity of our elections.”

      “Sen. Justin Wayne’s bill echoes legislative efforts in other states and in Congress to curtail corporate amassing of single-family homes, which critics say has helped cause the price of homes, rent and real estate taxes to soar in recent years. Wayne said that has been the case in his district, where an Ohio corporation has bought more than 150 single-family homes in recent years — often pushing out individual homebuyers with all-cash offers. The company then rents out the homes.”
