The trouble with Trump’s jurors shows
the results of a post-truth society

Original Article

This essay is not about the fact that Trump’s “hush money” trial is completely corrupt for myriad reasons. These reasons include but are not limited to the fact that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg violated due process by revitalizing invalid election fraud claims and time-barred misdemeanors allegations by elevating them into unnamed felonies. I’m also not talking about the judge having a daughter who is a highly-placed anti-Trump activist raising money off the trial. Instead, this post focuses on one specific thing: The fact that it is impossible for Trump to have a fair jury in this corrupt trial.

How do we go forward when half the country believes their own lies and will not tolerate anyone who says different? We have a serious problem in this country. Half the country is brain damaged and unable to even listen to another viewpoint. I honestly do not see how we can find common ground. I know I will not accept their lies, nor am I in a mood to forgive and forget. They have done far too much damage. Frankly, I want them as far away from me as possible.

Lookit. I'm not trying to canonize Donald Trump, but do you appreciate how much strength and fortitude and virtue it takes to stand up in the face of a bureaucrat state of lies? Institutionalized lies? This is what Solzhenitsyn wrote about. These sick people attempt to replace God, Himself, by declaring they they determine the meaning of all things. Of truth. I'm not even saying he started out to fight that fight or knew it would evolve this way, but Sophistry is how they came after him, and Sophistry became his enemy to defeat. If he is successful, you know he does that for all of us, right? And if he is not successful, then we all will be at the mercy of the merciless. God bless Donald J Trump. Protect him. Give him strength. +

Eff around and find out. A 63-year-old leftist from Syracuse, New York, has been arrested in Florida after being accused of keying a pickup truck with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker that provoked his ire. Richard Philip Brothers was arrested on March 26, 2024, after he was caught on camera keying a green Toyota Tundra in the parking lot of a Winn-Dixie supermarket in Monroe County, Florida. The incident occurred two days prior, on March 24. According to the police report obtained by The Gateway Pundit, “Richard Brothers knowingly and intentionally used a key to scrape the paint on the victim’s vehicle.

With the ongoing unrest across college campuses over Israel’s war in Gaza, Joe Biden continues to deal with chaos within his party’s base. Biden needs Jewish voters to win in 2024, a bloc that’s become increasingly uneasy with the Democrats’ enabling and reluctance to call out vicious antisemitism. He also needs young voters, who appear to be more loyal to Hamas than to our country. The political reality it that Joe Biden will have to kiss up to antisemites to stay alive in 2024. To prevent further discord among core Democratic Party voter groups, he’s ditching a menthol ban to avoid a rebellion among black voters

Watching the idiocy on college campuses this week and seeing all the explanations for protests in favor of murderous Hamas, two tweets seem particularly on point. There’s the great David Burge (Iowahawk) who calls these outbursts “Hamas slumber parties,” and says “This is like staging a pro-Nazi lunch counter sit-in and getting mad that people won’t treat you like you’re a modern-day Rosa Parks.” He attributes protests for the Intifada and slogans reading “from the River to the Sea” by numbskulls who have admittedly no idea what they are protesting as the result of baby-proofing houses

CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins got schooled by former Attorney General Bill Barr when she pressed him about his belief that Joe Biden is a greater "threat to democracy" than Donald Trump, and insisting that he thinks "the real threat to democracy is the progressive movement." "So it’s not about me. I think that, that I’ve said this all along. If faced with a choice between two people, neither of which I think should be president, I feel it’s my duty to pick the person who I think would do the least damage to the country,"

When I’m sometimes foolish enough to state a political view while out in public -- you can’t be held in jail without bail for talking about January 6, can you? -- the person I’m speaking with typically responds, “Oh, so you must be a Republican!” And I laugh heartily, and shake my head no. The Democrats may very well want to off unborn babies; encourage adolescents to lop off their breasts or penises; counsel African-Americans to expect financial reparations from Whitey as penitence for past offenses; allow any Tom, Dick or Juan to waltz into this country unvetted

After the release of this incriminating audio, federal agents raided J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s jail cell and dragged him to solitary confinement in the hole of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Thursday night. Earlier today, Alicia Powe at The Gateway Pundit exposed J6 insurrection leader Ray Epps lying to the FBI in a leaked interview to The Gateway Pundit. Epps repeatedly lied to authorities saying he was listening to President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse when there is numerous video clips proving Epps was not being truthful. Ray Epps was directing Trump supporters to the US Capitol for hours before the protests on Capitol Hill.

This is the White House of Old Joe Biden. You know, the White House of Rachel Levine and Sam Brinton, the White House that celebrated “Transgender Day of Visibility” on the day that much of the country was celebrating Easter. This is the White House in which angry parents at school board meetings and pro-life Catholics are treated as terrorists, while every year there is a new record number of actual terrorists being caught crossing what used to be the nation’s Southern border.

The passenger filmed the confrontation, which was posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Are you Eric Adams?” the woman asked the mayor as passengers boarded. “F–k you!” The woman continued, “You support the genocide in Palestine.

Okay, I stand corrected on one thing: Columbia University’s terror camp is coming down. I was skeptical, given that President Minouche Shafik has said terrorism is another form of protest. New York’s finest can’t move until the front office gives the green light—Columbia is private property. It seems the university has come to its senses: they’ve given a midnight deadline to set the terms for the dismantling of this tent city of Hamas propaganda and antisemitism:

For some reason the lapdog media is not reporting today that Stormy Daniels owes President Trump $300,000 for making false claims against him. In March 2022, the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy. The court ruled that Stormy Daniels owed President Trump $300,000 in legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against the US President. The media is ignoring this important development as they continue to lie by omission to the American public.

Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you about your legacy. You said just this week that you often feel like the only Reagan Republican left. As you prepare to step down from your leadership position this year, what are your greatest concerns about the future of the Republican Party?” McConnell said, “I tell you, I feel better about it after we had our vote.

Ford Motor Company reported a whopping $132,000 loss on each electric vehicle (EV) sold during the first three months of 2024, amassing a $1.3 billion loss. The auto manufacturer’s electric vehicle unit revealed Thursday that they experienced a 20 percent decrease in sales volume and were forced to slash prices due to low consumer demand, CNN reported. The revenue for Ford’s EV car, the Model e, plunged by 84 percent to about $100 million, which the company blamed on EV price cuts across the auto industry. “That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit,” the publication noted.​

In a statement issued on Sunday, Zelensky said that he and President Joe Biden are in talks to secure a deal that would give Ukraine U.S. taxpayer funds for the next ten years as its long-winded war with Russia continues. He claimed the money is needed to equip Ukraine with the “efficiency in assistance” it needs to tackle the recent war advances by Russian forces.

The German city of Hamburg saw over a thousand Muslims rally on Saturday against the freedom of the press and other liberal values of the country while calling for the imposition of an Islamic caliphate. Around 1,100 gathered in the central Hamburg district of St. Georg — a progressive area of Germany’s second-largest city often identified as a gay neighbourhood — to demonstrate against what they perceived as an attempt by the media to portray all Muslims in Germany as radical Islamists. However, the rhetoric reported from the event indicated the radical positions of the group itself, with chants of Allahu Akbar (God is great or Our God is greater than yours).

Police in Washington, D.C., rejected requests from campus officials at George Washington University to clear anti-Israel protesters from their campus encampment this week, fearing that doing so could be bad publicity. Although police were poised to disband the encampment at around 3 a.m. on Friday morning, city officials in the police chief’s and mayor’s office told police to stand down and said that it would look bad publicly for police to disrupt a “small number of peaceful protesters,” the Washington Post reported on Friday.

“30 years on, South Africa still dismantling racism and apartheid’s legacy,” the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights claims. After 30 years of ANC rule by Mandela and his increasingly more corrupt klepto-commie successors, what is there to dismantle? Besides the ANC’s own racism. Apartheid has long since gone. A generation grew up without it and soon so will another. All they will know is ANC rule. And ANC rule has meant racism, violent crime and a regime so corrupt that it can’t keep the lights on, but can ally with Russia, China and Hamas.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is known as “Gig City,” not for its many live music venues, but for its role as the first city in the Western Hemisphere to offer 1 gigabit-per-second fiber internet service to residents and businesses, an honor that it claimed in 2010. In 2024, Chattanooga has come to be representative of a different movement—the labor movement in the South. An overwhelming vote by the city’s Volkswagen employees on April 19 to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) union was the first crack in a decades-long barrier holding back the labor movement south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Until now, the Chattanooga facility has been the only non-union Volkswagen plant worldwide.
