More, Morning Joe On The Trump Indictment
Had It All! replies
From fascism to the Forbidden Fruit, and more, Morning Joe had it all on Friday when it came to the indictment of Donald Trump.
Al Sharpton gloried in the fact that Alvin Bragg, "a black man whose great-grandfather had no rights," could indict the former most powerful person in the country. Obviously, if a black Republican indicted a Democrat, this wouldn't be celebrated as cosmic comeuppance on MSNBC.
Jon Meacham, the scholar who as the top editor of Newsweek promoted the "biblical case for gay marriage," turned to the Book of Genesis to make a strained analogy
Donald Trump unleashed his anger over his indictment on Truth Social Saturday night after spending the day playing a round of golf in West Palm Beach, Florida.
'I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support you have given me against this assault on our Nation. Our once beautiful USA is now a Nation in Decline,' Trump began in a post just after 7pm, followed by a tirade that accused the left of playing a part in his legal trouble.
'Radical Left Thugs & Insurrectionists have taken over our Country, & are rapidly destroying it. They are using the levers of Law Enforcement, and have completely Weaponized the FBI & DOJ
Once again, The Gateway Pundit is reporting the news the mainstream completely ignores.
Joe Biden traveled to Mississippi on Friday to visit the tornado-hit area. Biden read the names of 13 individuals in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, who were killed in a recent spring tornado.
Then Joe bee-lined over to a little girl standing in the crowd. Joe grabbed her hand. Then he played with the top button on her shirt. Finally, he leaned in for the sniff.
Democrats believe this is completely normal.

A Gallup poll from lasted year found that the percentage of Americans identifying as LGBT increases with each generation, with less than 1% of those born before 1946, 2.6% of Baby Boomers, 4.2% of Generation X, 10.5% of millennials, and 20.8% of Gen Z. Does that look organic? Of course, it doesn’t; it’s a social contagion. Even left-wing comedian Bill Maher recognizes what’s happening: that being LGBT, particularly transgender, is trendy.Transgenderism was once extremely rare and limited to middle-aged men. However, it has become increasingly prevalent among children in recent years,
The Biden administration is considering asking Black Americans if their ancestors were slaves in the next government census.
The administration wants to find a way to curate just how many Black Americans descended from enslaved Americans, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.This information would decipher how many Black Americans descended from immigration or have lived here since slavery was present in the US in the 1800s.
The Wall Street Journal report claimed the Black community has issued calls for a more detailed census to differentiate Black Americans from each other.
A transgender content creator posed with a rifle for a social media video just weeks before the attack at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
Kayla Denker, a content creator who identifies as a transgender woman, brandished a rifle in a video clip on March 5.“While advocating just for trans people to ‘arm ourselves’ is not any kind of a solution to the genocide we are facing,” the caption read in part. “I do want to say that if you transphobes do try to come for me…”
Every Tennessee private and public school will have the resources necessary to hire an armed guard if Governor Bill Lee (R-TN) gets his plan through a Republican-led legislature.
Next week, Lee will propose a plan to funnel millions of dollars to public and private schools to beef up security following the mass shooting at a Nashville Christian elementary school on Monday. Lee’s plan would place an armed school resource officer (SRO) in every public school and provide funding for private schools to hire armed guards with the same level of training as those in public schools. Private schools would not be forced to join
Facing a July-or-so deadline to get the federal debt limit increased or the nation will be unable to pay its bills, and with the national debt at $31 trillion and soaring, President Joe Biden is … playing hardball, short-term, partisan politics.
Republicans took the House last fall all vowing to start slowing (at least) the ginormous growth in federal spending.
They elected Kevin McCarthy speaker after he committed to including spending cuts in any measure to raise the debt ceiling.
McCarthy and Biden then had what both sides called a productive face-to-face on Feb. 1

I’ve never seen a more sanitized piece about a mass shooting to prevent making liberals look bad. After years of obsessing about white dudes and AR-15s, a trans killer decided to commit an act of mass murder at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. Six people were killed, including three children. The shooter, Audrey Hale, was a biological female who identified as male and committed the assault at the private Christian school. She used AR-15-style firearms, which presented a serious problem for the liberal media:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg confirmed he used federal funds in his investigation into Trump’s so-called ‘hush payment’ to porn star Stormy Daniels.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil last week launched an investigation into DA Alvin Bragg, accusing him of abusing his power.
Last Monday the three House GOP lawmakers sent Bragg a letter demanding testimony and documents related to his investigation into the ‘hush payment’ after Trump said his arrest was imminent.
Progressives don’t like having to defend their ideas in public. That’s because at the core of their ideas is legislated failure, and in order to sell that legislated failure to the American people, they have to control the flow of ideas. Their philosophies cannot stand up to public scrutiny. One unfortunately effective way to shove their ideas down the throats of the masses without having to answer questions is to completely ostracize the other side of the political spectrum from the public square.
So, it is no surprise that the VERY ONLINE crowd is currently choking on their rage at the announcement that 60 Minutes
I imagine that right about now, newly re-elected Governor Gretchen Whitmer has had enough of Detroit News columnist Charlie LeDuff. She has just under four years left of her second and final term, and this is how LeDuff is going to treat her to kick off into the sunset—by comparing her to the about-to-be-indicted Donald Trump.Yowza.
If you have read my posts here at RedState in the past, you might have caught me commenting on some of the original reporting that LeDuff has done, not only here in the state of Michigan but around the country. One of his critical pieces of work
Fox News host Tucker Carlson called on Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” to sue Liz Cheney “for the crime she committed against him and against our justice system.”
“The Biden administration is demanding that Chansley serve another six months in a halfway house just to make sure his life is destroyed,” Carlson began.“Let’s hope that when he finally gets out, he has the energy to sue Liz Cheney of UVA for the crime she committed against him and against our justice system,” he added.

Some protesters inside the Tennessee State Capitol counted transgender shooter Audrey Hale among the victims during a moment of silence.
Protesters in the capitol held a moment of silence for those who lost their lives at Nashville’s Covenant Academy, but some disagreed on exactly how many victims there were. While some protesters held up six fingers, commemorating the three children and three adults whose lives were taken at the horrific school shooting, others held up seven fingers, counting transgender shooter Audrey Hale among the victims.
An anthropology professor at the University of Pittsburgh denied the difference between male and female skeletons to derisive laughter from students during a speaking engagement from college swimming champion Riley Gaines.

Everything about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is shallow fakery and manipulative astroturf.The term “astroturf” is given whenever a political operation attempts to generate the illusion of support where little to no support exists. Astroturf politics is pure fabrication and highlights the smallness of the candidate for whom the astroturf operation is conducted.
In republican national politics we saw astroturf operations around Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz in 2016, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see the same individual’s surface again as hired by Team DeSantis to create his 2024 astroturf campaign. Yesterday’s trip(snip)to Georgia was pure astroturf, complete with free DeSantis ’24 swag, t-shirts, and various
It must be frustrating at times to be Gavin Newsom. It’s true that he’s rich, has the striking good looks of a decades-old Ken doll accidentally uncovered in a landfill, and is the Governor of California. But he is also the governor of a state that probably set a record for hemorrhaging the largest number of citizens in the shortest amount of time in the history of this nation, or for that matter any other, during peacetime. He is the governor of cities that are losing businesses and gaining homeless camps. Poverty, lawlessness, and decay have become the hallmarks of cities

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has issued a warning to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over his politically motivated case against President Donald Trump.
The legal scholar notes that New York judges, especially at the Appellate level, will not like the George Soros-funded prosecutor’s case against Trump.
“This indictment, if it is reportedly following the theory that we’ve been talking about, is political,” Turley said.
“It’s a raw political prosecution.
Shocking drone footage lays bare the total devastation in Indiana after 65 deadly twisters tore across the Midwest and South Friday, killing at least 11 people.
The enormous storm system ripped through seven states, spawning deadly weather including tornadoes that shredded homes and shopping centers in Arkansas, caused a theater roof to collapse during a heavy metal concert in Illinois and made a fatal sweep into rural Indiana.
The drone footage, taken over the Hoosier State Saturday morning, shows homes decimated, cars wrecked, trees fallen and crews attempting to start what will be a monunemtous cleanup effort.
Trans activists have been storming state capitols over the last few days. On March 29, it was Kentucky. On March 30, it was Tennessee. Now for the third day in a row, trans activists have stormed another state capitol.
This time, it’s Florida. But I’m fairly certain that none of these people will be charged with an effort to “obstruct an official proceeding,” after they screamed at the top of their lungs.
One of the organizers ranted, to whip up the crowd, “This fight does not end here. We keep showing up every single day. We keep making our voices heard.” Then
An agreement has been reached between prosecutors in Manhattan and Trump’s legal team over the terms of the former Presidents surrender. The news comes less than a day after the Manhattan Grand Jury announced their vote to indict the former president for his hush money case with Stormy Daniels.According to the report, Trump will not be handcuffed when he surrenders. The unusual event will mark the first instance of a former US commander-in-chief being arrested and brought to court.
When you first hear about the group New York Citizens Audit (NYCA), you wonder why it took so long for regular citizens to start scrutinizing their own voting rolls. It's shocking ,really, even contrary to the American spirit, to think that voters in every state have taken so long to self-police their own voting process — instead assuming that whatever was happening was somehow honest, legitimate, or even legal by their states' own declared laws.
It is those declared laws that Marly Hornik is using as a litmus test as she and her nearly 1,500 volunteers review New York State voter rolls they obtained from
Every year, millions of Americans purchase much-needed products online along with the required postage. While most of the sellers are legitimate operations, a not-insignificant share is willing to use counterfeit postage to save a buck on taxpayers’ and consumers’ dime. According to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), “[i]n recent years, the use of counterfeit postage has increased substantially, especially on packages … it has resulted in a significant loss of revenue to the Postal Service.”Under the USPS’ proposed rule change, the Domestic Mail Manual would deem “counterfeit postage” as “undeliverable;” offending mail pieces “will be considered abandoned and disposed of at the discretion of the Postal Service.
"I saw a tiny man standing on my chest! He was about as big as my thumb, no more than 15 centimeters tall. In his hands, he held a bow and arrows. I felt many more little men crawling over me. In astonishment, I shouted very loudly, 'Get off me, you insects.' ”

The struggle now being waged for the soul, and likely the survival, of the nation is generally understood as a political and cultural battle between competing visions of the future, a globalist and technocratic dispensation against a national and populist resistance. It is being fought in the institutions of governance and frequently on the streets.
The scene is as old as history. An individual fleeing persecution wants to cross a border. His or her life depends on being able to bribe a border guard, with some fungible valuable item: whether gold, cash, silver, diamonds, etc. Life depends on it.
If the trade is prevented, then all hope is lost.
From the dawn of time, currency was the one thing that governments had difficulty tracking. I am not considering checks, bills of credit, something written. Those are easy to trace. I am talking about real currency. Currency in one’s hand, cash pressed in the flesh.

Is the title of this piece apocalyptic hyperbole? I wish it were. But everyone in the country and most of the people in the wide world know that Donald Trump has not actually been indicted for the crime of giving hush money to a prostitute. He has been indicted for the crime of opposing the Leftist elites and challenging their control over the political system. For the first time in American history, a politician – indeed, a front-running presidential candidate – has been indicted in order to destroy his political chances. Americans used to take pride in the fact that such things didn’t happen in the United States of America.
When a mass murderer shot her way into a Nashville school on Monday and killed six people, most Americans reacted with horror. Gun control advocates, however, viewed it as an opportunity. President Joe Biden, for example, saw the crime as a chance to promote an “assault weapon” ban. Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, responded with a call for gun confiscation. The corporate media pitched in with a spate of stories claiming that mass shootings literally occur on a daily basis in the United States.
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman has left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after six weeks of inpatient treatment for clinical depression, with plans to return to the Senate when the chamber resumes session in mid-April, his office said Friday. In a statement, Fetterman's office said he is back home in Braddock, in western Pennsylvania, with his depression “in remission,” and gave details on his treatment — including that his depression was treated with medication and that he is wearing hearing aids for hearing loss. It was the latest medical episode for the Democrat, who won last fall's

On assignment for the Sunday Times Magazine one night in Eugene, Oregon, I was standing at my car with a young evangelical woman, telling her about my early American family. They had arrived on the John and Mary in 1630, “praying and expounding the world of God the whole way,” a phrase I loved to repeat. But rather than laughing, she looked at me and said, “Wow. Wow, you have a powerful religious heritage.”
I had not heard the phrase, ‘religious heritage’ before, and was struck, pondering its meaning.
But in fact, everyone in America does have just that, it is an imprint, the original imprint of the United States,
Lamenting the astonishing success of the activist Left’s centurylong Gramscian march through America’s major institutions is, at this juncture, old hat.
Still, there have been a few recent, powerful examples, coming in quick succession, illustrating the extent to which leading liberal institutions of civil society have been captured by far-left activist wokesters who take opportunistic advantage of their groups’ venerable reputations in an attempt to repurpose them for dubious ends.
Take, for example, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, once one of the nation’s leading lights of the civil rights movement, which in recent decades has increasingly degenerated into a cesspool of grievance politics, intersectionality, race-tinged hucksterism,
For his opening monologue tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson highlights the increased visibility of the dual justice system as it has shown up in just the past 48 hours.
Using the Douglass Mackey conviction and the Donald Trump indictment, both from the state of New York, Carlson puts an exclamation point on the toxic nature of the two-tiered system of justice; accurately noting they are not trying to hide it, because the visibility of it is the point. The leftists in control of power positions want Americans to see their weaponization of that position in order to create fear and anxiety. The provocation is the point...
Liberals might be scratching their heads over why potential Donald Trump rivals are rushing to denounce his indictment. The reason is simple. Conservative Republicans know that if this assault is allowed to stand, they will be next.
The left, as well as the rabble of never-Trump Republicans, like to tell everybody that the unprecedented measures taken against Trump – culminating with this week’s indictment – are justified because he poses a unique threat to our precious democracy.
Just to review, we’re talking about measures like Democrats impeaching him twice on the flimsiest of grounds. Like federal law enforcement
The reaction to the unprecedented indictment of President Trump was predictable. (snip) Pelosi wrote:
“No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.”
This is nothing short of a shocking statement, especially from a lawmaker with many decades of experience. The presumption of innocence is the standard in any civilized democracy (snip) It is unlikely that Pelosi isn’t aware of the legal standards in the U.S. Perhaps her feeling of schadenfreude got the better of her, or maybe this is a warning for others who support the MAGA agenda.
Usually, when RedState shares a video from the Twitter account for Libs of TikTok, it’s some radical progressive spouting their crazy ideas for everyone to hear.

Former President Donald Trump will be facing at least one felony charge in his Manhattan case, the Associated Press reported moments ago.
While Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has yet to formally release a list of the charges against Trump, it is believed charges stemming from allegedly falsifying records will be raised from misdemeanors to felony levels.The charges come related to allegations the former president paid Michael Cohen $130,000 in “hush money” to send to Stormy Daniels,

On Thursday night New York City DA Alvin Bragg announced his office was indicting President Trump.
The indictment is currently under seal, however, according to a leak to CNN, President Trump was hit with 34 counts related to business fraud.
“Former President Donald Trump faces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case.” CNN reported.President Trump is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday at 2:15 PM ET in New York City on the garbage charges.
More than $4 million has been donated to Trump's presidential campaign in the 24 hours since he was indicted, his team has claimed.
A quarter of the money came from new donors and contributions could be traced to all 50 states, according to a fundraising email sent out by Trump on Friday night.
It comes after his son-in-law Jared Kushner insisted the indictment would 'only make him stronger.'Trump's team alleges that at least one contribution had come from every single state in America within five hours of a Manhattan jury voting to indict him
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “Amanpour,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby stated that there aren’t any plans to expel Russian diplomats over Russia’s detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, the focus is on getting Gershkovich released, and “this is not a new tactic from Mr. Putin.”
Guest host Bianna Golodryga asked, “President Biden was asked, just today, if he plans to expel Russian journalists or diplomats. He said there are no plans right now. Why not?” Kirby responded, “We are taking a look at this case, obviously, very closely. Our focus, right now, Bianna, is getting Evan out of there,
