Judge Arthur Engoron fined former Donald Trump and the Trump Organization on Friday in civil a fraud case for more than $350 million and barred him from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation for three years. New York Attorney General Letitia James sought to essentially bankrupt Trump by calling for a $370 million fine and a lifetime of from the real estate industry in New York State. James claimed Trump committed financial fraud. Trump plans to appeal the ruling. “This is a case that should have never been brought, and I think we should be entitled to damages,” Trump said during closing arguments.

Gotta hand it to the NY fascist. They were so scared of this case they didn't even take the chance that the one or tw honest New Yorkers left in the state might end up on a jury.Crooked AG and 'judge' are way more dependable.

This bogus politically based judgement will be appealed up to the Supreme Court you can count on that. If Trump loses in the end, every real estate deal will have to be evaluated by third parties to determine true value at considerable expense, before a piece of property can be put up for sale. Besides no business person owning considerable real estate can ever risk going into politics without the possibility of the types of political persecution that Trump has been enduring, that is unless that person runs as a Democrat.

Trump is following in the footsteps of our founding fathers. They too, gave up everything for America and freedom. Some never recovered what they lost and died in poverty. But it was a risk, they accepted. Trump is earning a place alongside Washington, Adams, Jefferson and others. Men who risk it all for the dream of hope that is America.

Has anyone ever seen this Engoron guy and 'Commie Bernie' Sanders in a room together? They sure do have a strange resemblance to each other! Remember, 'Commie Bernie' was kicked out of a hippie commune back in the '60's, because he would sit around and argue politics all day, and not do any of the work required to make the commune function. Not only that, but by arguing with other members, he kept those members from doing their fair share of the work as well, so all the members had a meeting and 'invited him to leave'.

Donald Trump's cognitive decline is 'more apparent' than Joe Biden's with 'slurred speech and gross, repeated errors' but both are concerning, a professor has warned. Politics professor Paul Quirk from the University of British Columbia assessed both the presidential front runners' cognitive functioning - after a series of gaffes raised questions about their fitness to hold office. He told Newsweek that 77-year-old Trump's cognitive deterioration is more obvious, but Biden's 'cognitive failure' could result in him refusing to relinquish control if needed during his second term.

Is Michelle Obama ready to follow in Hillary Clinton's footsteps? I'm not suggesting the former First Lady would take a hammer to her old cell phones or lie to Congress. I'm writing about the undeniable possibility that Michelle uses her husband's notoriety to launch her own political career. Rumors that Mrs. Obama might run for president have plagued the Washington political scene for years. But she has always denied that she wants the job. 'I've never expressed any interest in politics. Ever,' Obama told Oprah Winfrey in 2023. Fine. But why doesn't anyone outside of the chattering political punditry seem to believe her?

That was after spending a couple of hours in East Palestine, Ohio, finally making it there after more than a year of promising to go see the people adversely affected by environmental concerns after a train derailment. But while he was in Rehoboth Beach on Saturday, reporters managed to corral him outside St. Edmond's Church and ask him a few questions.

President Trump held another one of his massive political rallies Saturday night in Waterford Township, Michigan. The rally was held one day after a New York City judge ordered him to pay $355 million to New York State for paying his business loans off on time and with interest. This case could possibly be the start of the end of the United States as we know it if it is not overturned. The unprecedented lawfare suits against America’s favorite president has not put a dent in his popularity with voters. In fact, it is having the opposite effect.

The survey asked respondents who they trust more — Trump or Biden — to handle a series of key issues in the country, including crime, immigration, the economy, guns, and more.Overall, it appears Americans have more confidence in Trump than Biden to handle some of the most pressing issues of the day. For instance, 43 percent trust Trump to handle the economy, while 31 percent said the same of Biden — a +12 advantage for Trump.

Writing in Aeon, professional provocateur Gavin Evans leads the band of God-slayers with his February 15 article, entitled “There Was No Jesus,” rehashing old arguments that Jesus was the invention of a group of unscrupulous hucksters who sought to create a religion around a myth of their own creation.

This story will make you miss the days when education was about actually learning skills and subjects that would help to equip children for adulthood. A Seattle high school issued a reading assignment featuring nine supposed traits of white supremacy. The assignment in question dives deep into progressive racial theory and is ostensibly intended to promote critical thinking about America’s societal structures. But a closer look reveals its actual aim: To further indoctrinate children into progressive ideology on race issues. Students in a Seattle English class were told that their love of reading and writing is a characteristic of “white supremacy,” in the latest Seattle Public Schools high school controversy.
