During a portion of an interview with ABC News Senior Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katersky aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of ABC’s “World News Tonight,” New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) responded to concerns that the fraud verdict against 2024 Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump will force businesses out of the state by stating that “tourism is up and Wall Street is doing just fine.” After playing a clip of James saying that if Trump can’t pay the judgment, they’ll request the seizure of his assets, Katersky said, “Trump was held liable for exaggerating his wealth and inflating the value of his real estate

Cracks appearing after the Trump decision? Leticia James wouldn't lie to us.
Maybe she has a secret lover on the state's payroll too.

This crap story perpetuates the lie of fraud. There was none. Banks ALWAYS do their own appraisals. All the loans that the banks approved were paid back with interest. No crime, no victim. When you have the MSM running cover for you , you can knowingly lie and lie and lie. James should be sued for slander and the media for libel.

I never knew exaggerating your wealth and inflating the value of your real estate was against the law. Careful they don't lock up every person with a house for sale.

The county appraisal districts for ever hike up the real estate prices to get the maximum tax advantage! Do I really get the price, the county says it is worth, when I sell my house? Absolutely not! Time for the DA's to go after the county appriasers too

Wasn't the only bank who testified on behalf of the State of NY Deutsche Bank? Who stated they did their own appraisals and still provided the loans to Trump Organization at the interest rate they both agreed upon? Then, the Trump Organization repaid those loans, with interest, on-time and some ahead of time? That Deutsche Bank was willing to do more business, hoped to do more business, with the Trump Organization.

Didn't the "judge" claim Mar-A-Lago was only worth $18 million. If I thought I could buy it for that, I would do everything I could to buy it. As it is, empty lots near by, half the size, are going for more than twice $18 million.

The natives Indians sold Manhattan for $25 worth of trinkets. Was it worth more than that? Trump would have said a lot more - and both sides would have benefitted.

Letitia's Loony Loom; this bat guano crazy lady is a Weaver of Tall Tales. She got the wool from a sheep, she wove it into yarn, she strung it on her loom and let the shuttle fly. Out of Whole Cloth did this B.G.C.L., a figment of George Soros' nasty imagination, just flew into the wool gathering business. Disney just called, Tinkerbell died and they need someone now to spread all that fairy dust. Let me add, I hope that which she fears shall come upon her with a quickness. Liar is more honest name for wool gatherer.

A pro-Ukraine group launched a six-figure ad buy in key districts in a bid to urge Republican members of Congress to push forward the supplemental legislation, which includes military aid for Ukraine, for a vote on the House floor. The minute-long spot from Republicans for Ukraine, “No Weakness in the Face of Aggression,” features lifelong party members across the country describing the importance of the United States’s continued support of Ukraine. In the ad, a Republican man from California says, “If we don’t support Ukraine, I fear China to potentially see that as a signal where they believe that they can invade their neighbors, too.”

The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars. A memo quietly sent out to New York welfare office workers from the Hochul administration on May 12, 2023, carefully revised the standards needed to qualify for SNA, expanding them to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).”

Dem Dems keep flipping the script. It’s always Opposite Day for them. Whatever they say, the opposite is the truth. Up is down and black is white. And because Democrats control most of the media, they get to make the truth whatever it is they want it to be. So, after three years living in President Biden’s fantasy world, we finally have fallen through the looking glass with Alice in Wonderland, where nothing is what it is because everything is what it isn’t.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned allies Saturday that an “artificial deficit” of weapons for his country risks giving Russia breathing space, hours after his military chief said he was withdrawing troops from the eastern city of Avdiivka. Zelenskyy spoke to the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of security and foreign policy officials. Ukraine is back on the defensive against Russia in the nearly 2-year-old war, hindered by low ammunition supplies and a shortage of personnel. “Ukrainians have proven that we can force Russia to retreat,” he said. “We can get our land back, and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin can lose, and this has already happened more than once on the battlefield.”

A Chinese company, with the approval of Michigan's government, is cutting down trees to build a plant to build batteries for electric vehicles. In so doing, they are effectively removing a great carbon sink - trees - to build batteries that are of questionable quality, to power electric vehicles that are of questionable effectiveness, all in the name of "green energy." A Chinese green energy firm backed by Michigan's state government is tearing down trees to make way for a proposed electric vehicle (EV) battery plant designed to help the state meet its climate goals.[snip] has received support from Democrats and climate activists

The FBI and New York City investigators raided the FDNY’s Brooklyn headquarters and the homes of two top fire chiefs Thursday morning, sources confirmed to The Post. The feds searched the homes of Brian Cordasco and Anthony Saccavino, two senior FDNY chiefs in charge of city safety inspections, as part of a corruption probe into whether they inappropriately accepted payments, according to the sources. The inquiry began last summer into allegations the chiefs had each been paid $100,000 to expedite or set up inspections, according to the New York Times, which was first to report on the raids.

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump. The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations. The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.

I know what you're thinking. The headline has to be some sort of clickbait, right? Actually, no. The Biden administration is working on a final solution for Israel. It's been a hell of a week for the Joe Biden foreign policy shop at Foggy Bottom, and that has now extended to Turtle Bay. The two-state solution that Joe Biden wants to impose on the two parties currently at war in the Middle East, a solution neither side will ever accept in the near future, is a myth that's also threatening to collapse the Democratic Party from within. If Joe Biden supports Israel, he loses the Arab-American voting bloc in Michigan,

There is excellent news for the American industry, economy, and international trade sectors. The discovery of colossal rare earth deposits in Wyoming could essentially restructure the global supply chain of these crucial elements in the near future. A discovery of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth elements (REEs) in a mine outside of Sheridan, Wyoming, has generated great excitement across industries stateside. For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

Although I was born into a typical Democrat New York City family, I registered as a Republican as soon as I was old enough to vote. Why? Just to be different but at heart, I was as enamored of John F. Kennedy as the nuns at my high school. My first vote was for Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and I worked for Robert F.

Earlier this week a couple of propagandists, also identified as scholars, released a ranking of U.S. presidents. It has about as much credibility as the Clinton Russia hoax. But it does reinforce the gaslighting narrative that so many of our institutions are engaged in. The list, part of a Presidential Greatness Project compiled by a pair of university professors, ranks Joe Biden as the 14th best president. Ever. We’re talking the Joe Biden who is in office today. There has been no other president from an earlier era named Joe Biden to be confused with. The academic malpractice doesn’t end there.

At issue were Trump's statements over the weekend at a rally in Michigan, where he criticized Carroll's lawsuits and called them unfair.
