Trump's 'just a bad guy' prosecutors should
'go after': New York Supreme Court judge's
scathing response to ex-president's lawyer's
claim he is being unfairly targeted by
Democratic Attorney General Tish James

A judge delivered a withering put down to Donald Trump's lawyer's claim that the former president was being unfairly targeted by New York Attorney General Tish James on Thursday, saying she had every right to go after him if 'he's just a bad guy.'At the end of the hearing, New York Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and two of his adult children to testify as part of a probe into the family's business dealings.But his language, delivered during a testy back and forth, will be seized on by Trump supporters as evidence that the investigation is a 'witch hunt.'

At a South Side police station, while the cops keep their eyes on the crooks, a cat is keeping an eye out for the rats.The furry feline’s name? Felix.(Snip) Late last year, Felix was pacing in the cold outside the station, and an officer let him in. Soon, the cat was part of the Gresham police family: part-mascot, part-rodent intimidator.Felix, who has a gray coat and a striped tail, appears to be domesticated. Gresham cops set out a bed for him near the watch commander’s office. He has lots of toys to paw. And when he wanders the station, there are bowls of food and water

China is now likely to be to blame for a mysterious object set to crash into the moon, not SpaceX as was originally reported. Several weeks ago, Ars Technica had reported that a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that was launched in 2015 as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA) Deep Space Climate Observatory mission, dubbed DSCOVR, was on a collision course with the moon after seven years drifting in space.Amateur and professional astronomers pooled their resources to contribute to “Project Pluto” software run by Bill Gray. Gray sought the observations to confirm that the near-Earth object (NEO) tracking software had indeed located the Falcon 9 rocket and
Russia flexed its nuclear muscle Saturday with a series of alarming missile drills at the same time it continued denying that it is preparing to invade Ukraine.The wargames by Russia’s strategic nuclear forces involved launches from land, ships, submarines and planes that struck targets on land and at sea, the Kremlin said.Russia’s state-owned RIA news agency aired footage showing a split screen of various senior military leaders and Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered the drills to begin. Putin observed from what the Kremlin called a “situation center,” accompanied by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, a key ally.
Vladimir Putin is nothing if not consistent. Since he began to consolidate his power during his first presidential term in 2000, he hasn’t been very subtle in stating his goals. The former KGB officer wants to bring back the glory days of Communism — with or without imposing a Communist structure on the Russian people.It’s not ideology that drives Putin. It’s revenge. Putin, along with not a few of his comrades in the military and intelligence services, has been doing a slow burn since Communism fell and the West did a victory dance on top of the crumbling Berlin Wall. For that humiliation, the U.S. and NATO must suffer.
During a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Thursday, White House Principal Deputy Press Security Karine Jean-Pierre offered an awkward answer to a question about President Biden's search for a Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Breyer.A reporter asked whether Biden had interviewed any potential SCOTUS nominees, to which Jean-Pierre wouldn't give an answer. "So, has he just not been working for four days, or what's going on?" the reporter interjected."I just don't have anything to share or to confirm or not confirm on this," Jean-Pierre answered. Huh?
Hillary Clinton and her longtime aide Huma Abedin were out and about in New York City on Friday - a day after the former Secretary of State laughed off allegations her campaign spied on Donald Trump.Clinton, 74, and Abedin, 45, were accompanied by an unnamed man as they left a building in Lower Manhattan.Dressed for the chilly and very windy weather on Friday, Clinton looked warm in her grey woolen sweater, which she accessorized with a chunky silver necklace.She spoke to Abedin briefly, before getting into her car. Abedin and the man then walked off.
President Biden on Saturday left the White House for lunch with his granddaughters at a nearby restaurant while ignoring shouted questions about the Russia-Ukraine crisis. As the world is gripped by a possible Russian invasion into Ukraine, Biden declined to address the situation after leaving a lunch just blocks from the White House."Good to see you," Biden said, in response to a shouted question from the press pool on tensions with Russia/Ukraine. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a congressional delegation spent the weekend in Germany at the Munich Security Conference in an effort to de-escalate tensions
Biden’s America destroying policies will be worse in 2022. The Daily Caller reported: The U.S. is projected to become a net importer of crude oil in 2022, just two years after the nation achieved net exporter status, according to government data. The country will import more crude oil than it will export, signaling lower domestic production of the commodity, according to an Energy Information Administration (EIA) report Friday. In 2020, the U.S. exported more petroleum than it imported for the first time in several decades.
Representative Mo Brooks (R-AL) suggests an outside-the-box approach to taking on any truck driver shortages the United States faces.During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Brooks, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Alabama, proposed granting Canadian truckers protesting the Trudeau government political asylum in the United States.Brooks applauded the efforts of the so-called Freedom Convoy truckers before making his pitch.“Well, I am proud of the Canadian truckers and how they are attempting to assert their right to liberty and freedom,” he said.

Ukraine That Only Raises More Questions

Joe Biden arrived 55 minutes late today to give a short presser on the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Following his comments, the president then took only three, pre-selected questions, before leaving for what I’d assume is another long weekend of naps and pudding.Is that the kind of effort you’d expect from a man supposedly trying to defuse a major incursion into Europe? Probably not, but it’s what we’ve come to expect from Biden, perhaps the least hard-working president in American history.Still, despite his concerning physical appearance and seeming drowsiness, Biden did manage to say a few things of note in the presser. Namely, he is once again proclaiming
A self-described biracial North Carolina father, who is running for a state office as a Republican, made headlines this week when he delivered a viral speech blasting the teaching of Critical Race Theory during a school board meeting.Brian Echevarria, 44, a married father-of-three and a candidate for District 73 in the North Carolina General Assembly, appeared at a Cabarrus County School Board meeting on Monday to denounce CRT, which he called a 'big fat lie' and a 'discrimination revolution.''I’m biracial, I’m bilingual, I’m multicultural. The fact is, in America, in North Carolina, I can do anything I want and I teach that to my children,'
A Pennsylvania school board has voted in favor of pulling the plug on the mandatory streaming of CNN into middle school classrooms, a major win for those who believe that America’s impressionable young minds should be subjected to a diverse variety of viewpoints.On Monday, members of the Norwin School Board which is near Pittsburgh voted end the daily broadcasts of CNN 10, the 10-minute daily digital broadcast that is tailored for young captive audiences and is described by CNN as serving “a growing audience interested in compact on-demand news broadcasts ideal for explanation seekers on the go or in the classroom.”

Four Senate Republicans failed to show up to vote on an amendment that would have defunded President Joe Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates, thus ensuring its failure.
The Senate voted on Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) amendment to the continuing resolution (CR), which would defund Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates. The measure failed 46-47, with Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Richard Burr (R-NC) failing to show up, depriving Senate Republicans a potential majority to pass the amendment to the CR.
The Department of Homeland Security will house up to 1,000 Afghan refugees in an compound next to a Loudoun County high school and middle school, and made plans to do so with no communication with local authorities, Loudoun County, Virginia, Sheriff Mike Chapman said.The sheriff “raised concerns about DHS’ lack of communication, lack of planning, language barriers, a failure to communicate with a myriad of potential stakeholders, and the NCC’s [National Conference Center’s] unfenced proximity to a residential neighborhood and two public schools.”

We brought you the story about the two people who had been run over by the Ottawa police on their horses.
The police ran their horses into a crowd of protesters much faster than they should have, despite the protesters being peaceful. You can see them knock over a woman who was on what appeared to be a disability scooter, and a man in a brown coat with a knit hat, who was trying to shield her or push her out of the way of the horses. Both were knocked to the ground, as people yelled about them being trampled. There were later reports that the woman had died, but,
Hillary Clinton — the definition of insanity

No, no, no, no, no. Dear God, no.Hillary Clinton is seriously mulling a run in 2024. There’s simply no other way to interpret her speech at Thursday’s New York State Democratic Party Convention.Like the Tracy Flick she is, Clinton could barely make it through name-checking Gov. Hochul before eagerly leapfrogging into national politics. Apologies to Tracy Flick. At least she knew how to win an election.Not enough that Hillary carpet-bagged her way into a New York State Senate seat, itself a pretext for her first failed presidential run.
The National Archives confirmed on Friday that Donald Trump took classified documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago when he left office.The agency has informed Congress and is now in talks with the Justice Department about an investigation after the sensitive material was found in 15 boxes seized from his Florida home.'Because NARA identified classified information in the boxes, NARA staff has been in communication with the Department of Justice,' said the letter, written by David S. Ferriero, the national archivist, to Democratic Rep. Carolyn Maloney.

A Las Vegas woman was sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison Friday in the death of a 74-year-old man she shoved out the door of a bus in 2019.
Last month, Cadesha Bishop, 28, pleaded guilty to abuse of an older vulnerable person resulting in substantial bodily harm or death. She had originally been charged with murder, FOX 5 of Las Vegas reported.
"I’m sorry for my behavior," Bishop told the judge Friday while complaining about her portrayal in the media. "I’m sorry for the way that I was portrayed in my lowest and weakest moment of my life," she said.
Joe Biden got lost and claimed he once was a lifeguard on Lake Oswego in New York. The problem is there is no such place. Biden’s just keeps making things up not realizing how demoralizing this is for his Administration and the country. During a speech yesterday, Joe Biden shared that he once worked as a lifeguard on Lake Oswego when talking about New York. The problem is there is no Lake Oswego in New York.There is a Lake Oswego in Oregon but there is no evidence Biden worked there. He’s probably never been there.
Vice President Kamala Harris publicly warned Vladimir Putin of the 'swift and severe' consequences he will face if Russia further invades Ukraine and branded him a 'lying propagandist' after a car bomb destroyed a pipeline forcing the evacuation of 700,000.
In a speech early Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, Harris said the United States and its allies were prepared to impose significant and unprecedented economic costs on Russia if it further invades Ukraine, Reuters reported. 'Let me be clear, I can say with absolute certainty, if Russia further invades Ukraine, the United States together with our allies and partners will impose significant and unprecedented economic costs,'
So far, Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act hasn’t yielded any overt scenes of state power; no clouds of tear gas or columns of troops being marched into the capital. But it’s very different story within the Canadian financial sector. One of the most far-reaching implications of the Emergencies Act is what it prescribes for the Canadian financial system. According to the government’s new Emergency Economic Measures Order, every single bank, credit union, investment broker and insurance provider in the country has been deputized to figure out if they have a blockader as a client, and to immediately freeze their accounts if so.
So Kamala Harris is going to the border. That would be the Ukrainian border, not the U.S. Southern border, to somehow resolve Ukraine's border crisis instead of ours.
According to the New York Post:
Vice President Kamala Harris set off Thursday on a peace mission to Europe as Russia appeared to accelerate preparations for an invasion of Ukraine — undeterred by her failure to resolve the ongoing US-Mexico border crisis as President Biden’s point person on illegal immigration.
About two hours after Harris departed DC to attend the Munich Security Conference, Biden

Is Either In Denial Or Whistling Past
The Graveyard 22 replies
We shouldn’t be surprised that Hillary Clinton would continue to double down in the face of a mushrooming scandal. This has always been her strategy in handling such situations, and heaven knows she’s had plenty of experience. Whitewater? Pfft! Nothing to see here. Travelgate? Just a vast right-wing conspiracy. Benghazi? What difference could it possibly make? Hillary has survived more scandals than perhaps any politician in history, so her current hubris might be somewhat expected. But the goings-on with the Durham Probe is different. Hillary’s current hot water isn’t like the other cauldrons she’s been in.
