Posted By: Imright, 1/12/2024 10:30:05 PM
A New York State judge on Friday ordered Donald Trump to pay more than $392,000 to the New York Times over his failed lawsuit against the newspaper. In 2021, the former president sued his niece Mary Trump, The New York Times and three of its reporters accusing them of breaching a confidentiality agreement related to his tax records. He claimed they were part of an 'insidious plot' to get his tax returns. The case was thrown out last year. In a ruling on Friday, New York Supreme Court Justice Robert Reed said: 'Considering the complexity of the issues presented in this action, the number of causes of action, the experience, ability,

Ron DeSantis is gambling much of his campaign on a strong showing in Iowa while Nikki Haley is seeing her headline numbers grow.
But pollsters and analysts say neither of them can take comfort from the final survey before Republicans in Iowa pick their preferred candidate on Monday.
Once again, the real winner on Saturday night was former President Donald Trump, who maintains his iron grip on the nomination race despite slipping three points in the NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll. So even though Haley overtook DeSantis to take second place with 20 percent of the base, her favorability and enthusiasm numbers put her on 'shaky ground' according to Anne Selzer,
The youngest Israeli hostage held by Hamas will turn one years old this week - after spending a quarter of his life in captivity in Gaza.
Little Kfir Bibas is still believed to be among more than 130 hostages who continue to be held in Hamas underground tunnels in the warzone.
Today marks 100 days since Hamas terrorists stormed over the border and launched a terror attack that killed 1,200 Israelis, sparking a conflict that threatens to erupt into a full-scale regional war.
Pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the White House fence on Saturday, forcing the Secret Service and D.C. Police to get involved.
The protesters were seen shaking the fence as they yelled, “F*** Joe Biden.” Secret Service agents dressed in riot gear were seen behind the fence. Take a look: (X Video) At one point, the protesters shook the fence so hard that they forced it back. (X Videos) In another instance, protesters climbed the Rochambeau Statue in Lafayette Square to wave Palestinian flags. (X Videos)
On Friday Elon Musk was attacked by smart-mouth leftist who objected to Elon’s recent comments on the suspicious rules and irregularities in US elections.
Leftist Yann LeCun posted, “You know Elon, properly-run social networks do their best to take down misinformation about elections.”
That’s when Elon dunked on Yann and tech tyrant Mark Zuckerberg.
Elon Musk: “Funny you should mention “properly-run” social networks. Are you aware that Mark Zuckerberg, presumably a “proper-runner” of social networks, funded illegal voting vans in the last election?”
American journalist Gonzalo Lira has died in a Ukrainian prison, according to show host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson posted on X on Friday evening: Gonzalo Lira, Sr. says his son has died at 55 in a Ukrainian prison, where he was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments. Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed. (X Video) In early December, Carlson interviewed Lira’s father, who blamed President Joe Biden and the State Department
After over a year of campaigning and constant debates, Republicans battling for the White House will finally face a test at the ballot box and see if they stand a chance against Donald Trump.
On Monday, thousands of Iowa voters will head to 1,657 precincts across the freezing, snow-covered state to choose who they want to be the GOP nominee for president.
At 7pm Central Time (8pm Eastern) they will gather at churches, high schools, gyms and golf courses to write their preferred candidate's name on a blank piece of paper in a tradition dating back to 1972.
Rep. Adam Schiff has a new plan to save ‘democracy’ by abolishing the filibuster, getting rid of the Electoral College and packing the U.S. Supreme Court.
At this point, it’s pretty clear that when Democrats talk about ‘democracy’ what they really mean is anything that the far left likes.
Schiff trying to present this as a defense of democracy is pure hilarity and he is the only one who doesn’t get the joke. (X) Politico is actually taking this seriously: Schiff would abolish filibuster, end the Electoral College in his pro-democracy plan

Suggesting Climate Change to Blame for
Mass Immigration 31 replies
Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley once seemingly parroted a talking point used by Democrats that suggests climate change is partially to blame for mass immigration to the United States and other countries.
In January 2017, Haley went before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be confirmed as ambassador to the United Nations (UN) in then-President Donald Trump’s administration. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), in a written question, asked Haley about so-called “climate refugees,” as Democrats claim that mass immigration to the U.S. and other countries is partially due to global warming’s destroying crops, conditions, and communities in certain regions of the world.

House Republicans have kicked off an investigation into the attorney hired by Georgia DA Fani Willis to go after Donald Trump who is now accused of having an affair with her.
The Judiciary Committee wrote a letter to attorney Nathan Wade requesting documents related to his work on the Trump indictment in Georgia, noting that he had been paid more than $650,000 - at a rate of $250 an hour - to work on the investigation and prosecution of Trump and other federal officials, according to a new court filing.
Wade was hired as an ‘anti-corruption special prosecutor’ to investigate Trump’s alleged election interference.
Embattled Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade – accused of having a romantic relationship with Fulton County District Attorney (FCDA) Fani Wills – and his firm allegedly billed her office $6,000 for 24 hours of work in a single day in November 2021.
Michael Roman, who is one of 18 co-defendants along with former President Donald Trump in the Georgia election case, laid out the allegation in a 127-page motion to disqualify Willis, Wade, and the district attorney’s office from prosecuting the case.
It alleges that the initial contract with Wade and his firm, where he was brought on as an FCDA special prosecutor
Democrat President Joe Biden, who is 81 years old, had yet another strange moment on the campaign trail in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, on Friday, one that went viral with multiple different interpretations of what he said taking over the internet.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) originally posted a video of Biden sounding like he said to a coffee shop clerk: “My name is Joe Biden, and I work for the government in the Senate.” But the Associated Press’s report on the moment says that Biden said: “My name is Joe Biden, and I work for the governor and the senator.”

United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry, is expected to leave the Biden administration in order to join the president's 2024 reelection campaign, according to an announcement Saturday.
Kerry believes that Biden's reelection is the "single biggest" difference that can be made in terms of progress when it comes to climate change, a source told Axios.
He will be working with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients to make the transition in the coming months, according to reports.
As of now it is unclear who Kerry's successor will be. Kerry played a major role helping to broker the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement and the UAE Consensus.

Judgment, but WH Has Not Lost Confidence

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been in the news lately more for what he didn't do than what he did. As we wrote previously, Austin kept almost everyone in the White House in the dark about his whereabouts--when he was actually in the hospital, recovering from a major surgery in the wake of a cancer diagnosis. (Snip) But I need to highlight the direction the Biden Administration has been leaning in answering media questions about the man who is supposed to be running the Pentagon right now. My colleague Streiff wrote on Jan. 7 that despite Biden not being told about Austin's condition until Tuesday:

llinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to stop sending migrants to Chicago due to incoming winter storms, an appeal that drew pushback from the Lone Star State. "While action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves," Pritzker said in a letter, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state."
London has suspended several electric buses after a seemingly spontaneous fire broke out in a double-decker bus, sparking calls for a re-examination of every electric bus used in the capital’s fleet.
On Thursday, an electric bus caught on fire on Wimbledon Hill Road in London. While no injuries were reported and investigations into the cause of the fire are still ongoing, the office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan — a chief proponent of the green agenda in Britain — announced the suspension of the same model of electric busses from the route.

missing class over long bus rides to school, illnesses 19 replies
No-show bus rides, fatigue, and illnesses are making it hard for some migrants housed in Floyd Bennett Field tents to send their children to school, parents told The Post. During school hours this week, The Post observed at least 15 children skipping class outside the city’s controversial mega-tent shelter in southeast Brooklyn, where roughly 1,900 migrants are housed. Despite the city forking over $625,000 this year for buses to take students from the isolated national park to a subway stop, parents blamed missing shuttles for their kids losing out on class time.
Fetterman Sides With Republicans Again
18 replies
In a rare move, Democrat Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is receiving praise from Republicans after criticizing his own party’s stance on several issues.
Fetterman has slammed the Democratic Party’s progressive “Squad” who refuse to condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel. He questioned why the United States hasn’t yet destroyed Hamas, adding that every terrorist killed is "one more step" toward peace. The Democrat has stood by his pro-Israel stance, angering members of his party who believe more should be done to help Gaza despite Hamas raping and heinously killing innocent Israelis.
If you thought that Joe Biden is a prolific pusher of malarkey, it seems that his wife, Jill, wants to challenge him for the crown. She would have to go a ways, but she's making a big effort with a comment that she made to the audience on the "Morning Joe" show.
We already reported on her interview with Mika Brezinski which was just a horrible effort to sell Joe Biden for his re-election.
But that isn't going over very well. It just makes it more apparent how desperate Biden's situation is in terms of the polls when she has to make such an effort.
Americans are divided on how the U.S. Supreme Court should handle former President Donald Trump’s ballot access, but a majority in a new ABC News/Ipsos poll say they would support the court either barring Trump from presidential ballots nationally or letting states take that step individually.
The national poll finds a close division on state-level rulings barring Trump from the ballot in Colorado and Maine, 49-46%, support-oppose. On next steps, 56% are willing to see him disqualified in all or some states, including 30% who say the high court should bar him in all states and 26% who say it should let each state decide.
On Friday, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) announced his endorsement of Donald Trump for president.
"Whether you like Trump or not, Americans face a binary choice,” Lee said in a post on X/Twitter. "Biden refuses to enforce our border, prosecutes his opponents, & embraces policies that make life unaffordable for hardworking Americans.I’ll take the mean tweets. I choose Trump."
This really triggered MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, and he responded the way we have come to expect of anti-Trumpers.
"The mean tweets? Really? That’s all that bothers you?” Scarborough said in response to Mike Lee’s post. "What about the promises of a dictatorship, the execution of generals insufficiently loyal, the banning of news outlets insufficiently loyal,
It seemed like someone decided on Friday that it would be a better idea to send Joe Biden around to local stores in the Allentown, Pennsylvania, area, rather than having him go off on a confused speech.
I don't think that was a smart idea. The more situations that put him in contact with people, the more likelihood you have of him having a problem because of his confusion. But, truly, either way they're going to have a problem because it's Joe. It started off badly. (X) As Joe left the first store, he found out exactly what Pennsylvania voters think of him when someone shouted out, "You're a loser."
