“First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen. He was second to none in the humble and endearing scenes of private life; pious, just, humane, temperate and sincere; uniform, dignified and commanding, his example was as edifying to all around him, as were the effects of that example lasting. “To his equals he was condescending; to his inferiors kind; and to the dear object of his affections exemplarily tender: Correct throughout, vice shuddered in his presence, and virtue always felt his fostering hand; the purity of his private character gave effulgence to his public virtues.”

A Georgia judge suggested that the credibility of a key witness in the case against Fulton County Fani Willis could be tainted because he appeared to violate sequestration rules before testifying at a hearing last week.
John Floyd, the father of Ms. Willis, was called in as a state’s witness to testify in favor of the embattled district attorney (snip)Ashleigh Merchant, a lawyer for the co-defendant who brought the motion against the district attorney, attempted to strike Mr. Floyd’s testimony after he said he was aware of Ms. Willis’s testimony from the previous day because the case is everywhere in the media and that he reads newspapers every day.
Trump learns

Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 without needing to dig up dirt on Hillary because the FBI already did that with the email scandal. But he failed to dig up dirt on Biden in 2020. The open secret in DC was Biden was easily bought. Everyone knew — except Trump.
Now as he faces lawfare — the act of tying a man up in court to bleed him dry from legal fees — Trump apparently has learned to dig up dirt on at least one of his persecutors: Fani Willis the George Soros district attorney in Atlanta who threw her weight and indicted President Trump and associates,

House Republicans were shocked by some of the recent high-profile retirements announced by their colleagues, which have included powerful committee chairs and rising stars inside the GOP.
But given the miserable state of affairs inside the House right now, they also weren’t exactly surprised.
“They’ve signed up to do serious things. And we’re not doing serious things,” said Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado, a conservative who is retiring after bucking his party on several key issues.
Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, a moderate who represents a key swing seat, pointed to his party’s struggle to govern as driving the departures.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has admitted the lawfare deployed against the Trump organization and President Donald Trump himself was a specific plan for his targeting and any other business interests or people within New York should not be concerned.
It’s a rather brazen admission all things considered; however, if it changes the public outlook as the various New York lawfare cases against President Trump continue, is yet to be determined.
(Via The Hill) – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about”
On Thursday’s edition of NBC’s “Top Story,” host Tom Llamas and NBC Legal Analyst Danny Cevallos stated that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) had strategically poor recall when she was asked any potentially incriminating questions.
Llamas said, “She sort of had a strategy with the way she was answering questions, right? She seemed to have total recall when she could take the question head-on, and then, at other times, when it was a tough question, there was, oh, I don’t remember.(snip)
I have to believe that every attorney who thinks she did a great job(snip)would you tolerate a witness
John Floyd is the father of Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney Fani Willis.
Willis’s father, a retired criminal defense attorney who wrote a movie script, was a leader in the Black Panther movement, according to South Atlanta Magazine. His full name is John Clifford Floyd.(snip)Defense attorneys said that Willis’s lawyers “prepped” Floyd before his testimony. He said Willis was present and added that he knew of her testimony. Floyd said he listens to “conservative radio a lot” and “last night for five hours all they talked about was this case.” The judge said he would not strike Floyd’s testimony but that it could go to his credibility.
From the moment that Democrat Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis abruptly hurled herself into the court hearing on Thursday, it was obvious what she was there to do. And it’s hard to even blame her because it’s the only option she has left.
Before she was even asked to appear — before it was even clear she would be required to testify in the hearing about her relationship with Nathan Wade that could zero out her criminal case against Donald Trump — Willis entered the scene in a painfully bright pink dress and told the court she was ready for her close up. Her eyebrows frozen in a defiant arch,
Last year, John Durham, a special prosecutor for the Department of Justice (DOJ), concluded that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should never have opened its investigation of alleged collusion by then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and Russia in late July of 2016.
Now, multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016.
The new information fills many gaps in our understanding of the Russia collusion hoax
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, HPSCI, Chairman Mike Turner is quite predictable in his methods to support the Intelligence Community. {Background Here}
Today, Chairman Mike Turner shocked the DC system by proclaiming Russians from Outer Space were coming to destroy us. This “deadly Russians” narrative, as sold by Mike Turner, supports: (1) Ukraine funding, (2) FISA reauthorization and the (3) “seven ways to Sunday” Deep State.WASHINGTON DC – A vague warning by the chair of the House Intelligence Committee about a “serious national security threat” Wednesday is related to Russia’s attempts to develop an antisatellite nuclear weapon for use in space,
With #FalseFlag trending on X, today's "major, imminent, grave, terrifying security threat" 'fire-alarm' in political circles - that by the way the market completely ignored - turned out to be - drum roll please...(snip)
According to ABC News, “Two sources familiar with deliberations on Capitol Hill said the intelligence has to do with the Russians wanting to put a nuclear weapon into space.”
Latinos and the Law

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele was reelected with almost 85 percent of the vote following his massive crackdown on gangs that saw the Central American republic’s official murder rate plummet to historic lows. Bukele’s success raises interesting questions about Latinos’ propensity toward violence.
Unlike in the United States, where the public has to wait almost nine months for national crime statistics to be published, El Salvador’s government announced on Jan. 3, 2024, that only 154 murders had been committed in 2023, down from over 2,000 in 2019.

“Presidental greatness” of the 45 Presidents of the United States, President Joe Biden emerged as the 14th-best President, while his anticipated 2024 presidential contender, former President Donald Trump, came in last place.
Known as the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, the study was conducted by a group of leading experts specializing in the American presidency — including the current and recent members of the Presidents and Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley reaffirmed her commitment to remaining in the race on Tuesday, saying she’s “not going anywhere,” no matter what happens in the South Carolina GOP primary this weekend.
“South Carolina will vote on Saturday. But on Sunday, I’ll still be running for president. I’m not going anywhere,” said Haley, who is down some 30 points in polling in her home state.
“I’m campaigning every day, until the last person votes, because I believe in a better America and a brighter future for our kids. Nothing good in life comes easy. I’m willing to take the cuts, the bruises, and the name calling. Because

Ever since transgender individuals have been allowed to participate in sporting events of the gender with which they identify, people with more than two fully functioning brain cells have been issuing warning after warning about the physical dangers posed to biological females by competition against biological males. Such warnings were met with cries of "bigot" and other such name-calling. However, case after case has emerged proving the concerns are completely valid.
A good case in point comes from a high school girls' basketball game that ultimately ended in a forfeit at halftime due to three girls suffering injuries
Local families in the predominantly black Roxbury neighborhood of Boston are furious after the city shut down the local community center to instead use it to house more of President Joe Biden’s illegal border crossers.
Roxbury’s Melnea A. Cass Recreational Community Center, which was once a meeting place for Little League ball players, volleyball games, and other sports and community events, has now been dedicated to rows of cots for illegal border crossers, CBS, WBZ-TV Boston reported.
WBZ interviewed pre-teen Jeremiah Rodriguez who showed up at the community center on Feb. 17 under the mistaken impression that his community baseball team was using the facility for batting practice.
After some deliberations, on February 14 the French government and National Assembly managed to pass a bill that includes an Article 4 that essentially creates a new crime of “provocation to abstention from medical care.”
It reads as follows:
Art. 223-1-2 . – Provocation to abandon or abstain from following therapeutic or prophylactic medical treatment is punishable by one year of imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros, when this abandonment or abstention is presented as beneficial for the health of the persons targeted when it is, in the state of medical knowledge

The bill now awaits final approval in the French Senate
Biden Pulls The Plug On EVs

When President Joe Biden issued regulations that he and his side of the political aisle hoped would eventually lead to electric vehicles replacing automobiles that burn gasoline and diesel fuel, it was regarded as a glorious moment. The backtracking, however, has begun, a welcome development we didn’t believe was possible from the man who once irresponsibly promised “to end fossil fuel.”
Unfortunately, it’s being done for the wrong reasons.
The New York Times reported over the weekend that the “administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change,
Tyrannical leftist New York Attorney General Letitia James has revealed she is prepared to seize (steal) President Trump’s assets if he cannot pay the outrageous court fine as ordered by compromised Judge Arthur Engoron.
“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” James told ABC News.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, Engoron fined Trump $355 million and banned him from doing business in New York City for the next three years. Engoron claimed Trump “participated in aiding and abetting the conspiracy to commit insurance fraud
John Oliver, a late-night talk show host for HBO, is now being accused online of trying to bribe Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to leave his seat on the bench in exchange for a million dollars a year. In case you aren't familiar with John Oliver, he's a hardcore leftist. So you know what his motivation is for wanting to get rid of Thomas.
Liberals really, really hate conservatives. They also despise black conservatives. What really brings out their inherent racism is a black conservative who serves on the bench of the highest court in the country.
Biden administration Sec. of State Antony Blinken told staffers at the State Department not to use "problematic" terms such as "manpower," "mother," and "father" in a memo.
According to a memo from the State Department obtained by the National Review, in early February, Blinken told staff about the dangers of "misgendering" as well as using terms that “can be problematic” such as "manpower" as well as “son/daughter" and “husband/wife.” (snip) Adding further on the topics of "gender," Blinken's note read that gender identity is the “innermost concept of self as masculine, feminine, a blend of both, or neither."
Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner’s documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn’t just tank at the box office, it was humiliated.
In 85 theaters, Reiner’s bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that’s “averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low.” If you assume it only had “one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings.”

When Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) isn’t busy fraternizing with Chinese spies, it appears he enjoys feeding his wanderlust and appetite for the finer things at the expense of campaign donors. The lawmaker has reportedly spent considerable sums of campaign funds to travel the globe, partake of fancy dinners, spend time at luxury spas, and a host of other extracurricular activities.
Swalwell’s campaign shelled out over $2.1 million in these diversions last year, with expenses spanning from chauffeured cars to childcare. The question is: Will he face any accountability for this?

Two men have been charged with murder in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting that killed one woman and injured more than 20 people last week.
The defendants were named by prosecutors as Dominic M. Miller of Kansas City and Lyndell Mays of Raytown. They each face charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, according to a statement from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. "The defendants attended a Super Bowl parade and rally on Feb. 14, 2024, and were armed with firearms," the office said. "A verbal altercation occurred and gunfire broke out with no
