Andrew Neil's searing verdict on the Trump
trial circus: Robert De Niro the star
clown... a VERY prurient porn actress...
the most unreliable witness in history...
and why Donald might be doomed

Donald Trump's hush-money trial in New York has always had something of the circus about it. So it was only fitting that, on the day prosecution and defense gave their closing statements before the jury begins its deliberations, it should turn into a full-scale Big Top. Robert De Niro appeared as the Star Clown, haranguing Americans outside the Manhattan court for even daring to think about voting for Trump and claiming, in a rant that got ever more bizarre, that The Donald was going to 'destroy the world'. Perhaps this is what passes for sophisticated political analysis in Hollywood. Or maybe it was just an embarrassing attempt at clown comedy.

The View’s Sunny Hostin took a break from her race-obsessed commentaries to cope with Joe Biden’s atrocious poll numbers and black voters abandoning him for Donald Trump. Specifically, black men are hopping on the MAGA train. It kills people like Hostin to rage against Trump daily, only to find that Donald Trump is gearing up to clinch the largest share of the non-white for a Republican presidential candidate ever. It kills them inside, which is why she’s coping hard, thinking that black women are going to bail out Biden and bring their sons, grandsons, and husbands with them.
CNN analyst Paul Begala said Friday on “News Central” that Donald Trump is an “obese flatulent old man with bad makeup and weird hair” when asked for his reaction to the former president’s conviction at the business record trial in New York.
Begala said, “Donald Trump needs to pay himself hush money because every time he speaks, he’s losing. He did better during that trial than I thought he would do because he was gagged. And the gag order was perfectly constitutional. Happens in a lot of cases. He hurts himself when he goes on these hysterical rants. Yes, he helps himself with his base, but his base is not
Reporters ambushed Joe Biden at the White House during a celebration for Super Bowl winners the Kansas City Chiefs.
Reporters peppered Joe Biden with questions about his lawfare trial against President Trump after a Manhattan jury returned a guilty verdict.
Biden sent his top DOJ official, Matthew Colangelo, to New York to take down his main political rival, Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign announced on Friday that it had raised nearly $53 million in the 24 hours after Trump’s conviction by a New York jury.
Jurors in Trump’s business records trial found the former president guilty on all 34 counts related to payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. “In the 24 hours since Crooked Joe Biden and his New York henchmen got their sham trial verdict, the Trump Campaign has raised $52.8 million through the online digital fundraising platform,” the Trump campaign wrote. “THAT’S MORE THAN $2 MILLION PER HOUR!”
Maxine Waters made an obnoxious comment about the Trump verdict this week and got immediate push back from other people on Twitter/X.
Perhaps Republicans should investigate and prosecute Maxine Waters for inciting violence when she urged people to harass Trump officials in public places. Or maybe they should look into all of the campaign funds she has funneled to her daughter over the years.
The response to Waters shows just how fed up people are with the vitriol of the left.
FOX News reports: ‘Corrupt criminal’: Maxine Waters receives backlash over vitriolic response to Trump’s guilty verdict
Real estate investor Grant Cardone appeared on the fox Business Network this week following the Trump verdict and said that it is going to have far reaching effects on the city’s economy.
He suggested that nobody (including him) wants to do business in New York City anymore because they no longer trust the political and legal system there.
Cardone says that the people who are invested in his company wouldn’t even allow him to do business there.
From FOX Business: “If they can do this to Donald Trump, a former president, regardless of how you feel about the politics, if they can do this to a former president, what can they do
Alex Soros, the son of left-wing activist and billionaire George Soros, suggested Democrats mention that former President Donald Trump is a “convicted felon at every opportunity” they get.
Soros wrote in a post on X that “repetition is the key to a successful message” and that Democrats want American citizens to “wrestle” with having to vote for a “convicted felon” in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. The jury in Trump’s business records trial found the former president guilty on all 34 counts on Thursday.
Controversial Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker joined his teammates at the White House reception on Friday - despite slamming President Joe Biden in a recent speech.
The Kansas City star stood in the back row as Biden welcomed the Super Bowl winners to DC to celebrate their second successive Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Earlier this month, Butker branded Biden 'delusional' and accused him of 'supporting the murder of innocent babies' during a commencement speech in Kansas.
Now, ten Republican senators announced on Friday that they are suspending all cooperative legislative efforts with Democrats, accusing the White House of engaging in actions that are “un-American” and making a “mockery” of the rule of law.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted her colleagues for their inaction against the Democrats.

Although I predicted to friends and family that our 45th—and soon to be 47th—President Donald J. Trump would be convicted in the kangaroo court/sham trial in Manhattan, even I was unprepared for the breathtaking “Guilty On All Counts” verdict unsealed Thursday afternoon.The breadth and impact of this action by 12 jurors—acting as twelve Pinocchios for Judge Juan Merchan’s Gepetto—proved our worst fears about their inability to be fair and impartial. In the face of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s absurd actions,
CLAIM: Former President Donald Trump says migrants are arriving at the United States-Mexico border from all “corners of the globe.”
VERDICT: True. The latest Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data reveals an increasing share of migrants encountered at the border on President Joe Biden’s watch are from outside North America. On Friday, after a Manhattan jury convicted him on 34 felony counts involving falsifying business records, Trump held a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City where he blasted Biden for record levels of illegal immigration.
If the Democratic Party thought convicting former President Donald Trump was going to make his millions of supporters abandon him, they better think twice. In fact, he got a six-point jump in approval after being found guilty of 34 counts for falsifying business records.
According to a poll conducted by the Daily Mail and J.L. Partners, 22 percent of voters now view Trump more favorably, while only 16 percent view him more negatively.
The poll was taken just hours after 12 jurors convicted Trump in an unprecedented and politically-motivated move.

Speaking to reporters at the White House Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden announced a new ceasefire proposal to keep Hamas in power and vowed the American taxpayer will pay to rebuild the Gaza Strip.

The conviction of former President Donald Trump on manufactured charges in a Stalinist show trial this week marks a crossroads for the Republican Party. From now on, the civil war inside the GOP will be between those who understand they must do to Democrats what Democrats have done to Trump, and those who think they can trundle along with business as usual.
Century-old Joshua trees in the California desert will be cleared to make way for clean energy. The 2,300-acre solar project is going up near near Boron, in Southern California, according to the Los Angeles Times. The area of Kern County from which the project is slated has a poverty rate twice that of the state’s average. The solar farm will generate intermittent power for 180,000 homes in wealthier coastal neighborhoods. Besides the destruction of old trees, the residents living near the project say county and state officials who approved the project have ignored their other concerns about construction dust and impacts to endangered desert tortoises have been ignored
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has refused a request from Senate Democrats to discuss fellow conservative Justice Samuel Alito's failure to recuse himself from cases involving former President Donald Trump.
Alito has been under fire in recent weeks over two flags associated with Trump and the January 6 Capitol riot that had been flown at his homes. He blamed his wife for raising the flags and insists that he is unbiased in matters involving the ex-president—such as Trump v. United States, the pending case on Trump's claim that he is immune to criminal charges due to presidential immunity.

President Joe Biden on Friday defended the conviction of former President Donald Trump and claimed it was “reckless” for his gagged political opponent to call it “rigged.”
Trump called the trial a “scam” and vowed to appeal the guilty verdict. About two hours after Trump spoke, Biden directly mentioned Trump by name in a carefully crafted press conference. “The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed,” Biden claimed. “Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself.”
Biden pointed out that Trump’s lawyers chose the jury in Manhattan — a location from which Trump tried to move the case.
President Biden announced the terms of an Israeli-led proposal Friday that includes a three-part roadmap toward an end to fighting and the release of all remaining hostages taken Oct. 7, giving the strongest indication yet of a potential end to the war between Israel and Hamas.
“After intensive diplomacy carried out by my team, my many conversations with leaders of Israel, Qatar and Egypt, and other Middle Eastern countries, Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It’s a road map to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages,” Biden said.
New York— Will Donald Trump go to prison? Could he pardon himself? What about the election? The first criminal conviction of a former American president raises a host of legal and political questions.
Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury Thursday of 34 felony counts related to a scheme during his 2016 presidential campaign to pay off a porn actor who said the two had sex. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee denies having sex with Stormy Daniels, has said he did nothing wrong and slammed the jury’s verdict.

What Happens Next?
Trump remains free on his own recognizance.
President Joe Biden flashed a smug, toothy grin after a reporter asked him about former President Donald Trump considering himself a political prisoner at his hands.
“Can you tell us, sir — Donald Trump refers himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?” a reporter asked Biden after the 81-year-old concluded his remarks on Friday in which he defended the conviction of Trump.
The reporter asked the question as Biden began to walk away after concluding his address. But after the question was posed, Biden stopped in his tracks, looked over to the reporters, and grinned, flashing his teeth.
