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.
Texas is doubling down on border security with the construction of a new military base camp in Eagle Pass, expected to house up to 2,300 soldiers. Governor Greg Abbott was at the border today to greet the first batch of 300 Texas National Guard Troops arriving at the newly-built "Forward Operating Base," part of the state's enhanced border security initiative, Operation Lone Star. The governor's visit comes as the base is swiftly moving towards completion, with amenities including living quarters, a dining facility, gym, armory, and more to support the stationed troops. According to the plans revealed by Abbott, this base signifies a stamp of permanence for Texas military
The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said.
Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an unprecedented verdict against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee just months before the 2024 election. The verdict is likely to be appealed by Trump’s legal team, however, and experts say the final decision in Trump’s hush-money trial could come down to a ruling from the highest court in the land.
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.
On Thursday, several Republican figures released strongly worded statements expressing their outrage and support for Trump following his guilty verdict.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted her colleagues for their inaction against the Democrats.
She wrote, “Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms.
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.
Robert De Niro will no longer be honored at the National Association of Broadcasters award ceremony following his anti-Trump rant outside the former president's criminal trial.
The Oscar-winning actor, 80, was set to be handed the group's Leadership Foundation's Service to America Award next week.
But the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has rescinded the award after De Niro hit out at Donald Trump in a press conference in support of Joe Biden outside Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday.
Hillary Clinton got torched online after she reacted to former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict by pushing “She was Right” merchandise on her social media account.
In a Thursday post on Instagram, the former Democratic presidential nominee reacted to news that a New York jury returned a guilty verdict on all 34 counts against Trump in the hush-money trial by posting new merchandise, a coffee mug with the saying, “Turns out she was right about everything.”
“We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot,” Clinton wrote. “The design happened to be finalized today.
Americans will speak on the Trump verdict on November 5, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily the day following the Manhattan jury finding former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his business records trail.
“The People are going to have their chance to speak on this verdict come November,” Blackburn said, explaining that it is absolutely crucial for Americans to get their neighbors to go out and vote and make their voices heard.
“Last cycle, we heard so much about the 30 million Evangelical Christians who are not registered to vote. They need to get themselves registered,
Major donors rallied behind former President Donald Trump Thursday after a Manhattan jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records during the 2016 election. The verdict spurred supporters to boost their support for the 2024 hopeful, saying that justice has not been served.
Mega-millionaire Sequoia Capital partner and former Democrat donor Shaun Maguire announced he donated $300,000 to Trump’s campaign following the verdict.
Maguire said he is “prepared to lose friends” over his decision to back Trump during this unprecedented time by donating to his campaign,
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. Five Americans are still being held hostage by the Iranian backed terrorist organization. "In phase three a major reconstruction plan for Gaza would commence," Biden said. "The United States will work without partners to rebuild homes, schools and hospitals in Gaza -- to repair communities destroyed in the chaos of war."
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.
Here are answers to some of the biggest questions surrounding Trump’s conviction:
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.
Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio left CNN host Wolf Blitzer stammering Friday while explaining his objections to the “sham” trial of former President Donald Trump.
A jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsification of business records Thursday. Vance outlined several objections he had with the trial, including New York Judge Juan Merchan’s donation to the Biden campaign in 2020, and told Blitzer that the purpose of the trial was to label Trump as a convicted felon.

Moments after Trump was found guilty, social media was flooded with celebrities, politicians, athletes, and the everyday American showing their support for Trump.
Following the verdict, NFL Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher, who played for the Chicago Bears, took to Instagram and wrote: “It doesn’t matter how many fake charges they find him guilty of, he’s still got my vote.”
Antonio Brown, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, also supported Trump and shared on X a photo of Trump’s mugshot with the caption, “Still gonna win the election.”
Country star Jason Aldean wrote: “Scary times in our country right now, man. When a former POTUS gets treated like this by
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.
Joe Biden is a disgusting human being.
He should have said nothing. His campaign should not have sent people to make a spectacle of themselves earlier in the week at the Trump trial in Manhattan. That was an incredibly ill-considered move, like so much of what Biden has done over his time in office. Then his team issued a disgusting statement, and there was even a report that they were cheering. But Biden — or whoever is in control at the White House — just couldn't stop themselves from having him say something.
First, there was the obligatory Biden confusion and despite the fact that he's going to talk about
It’s the last Friday in May during an election year and whether Americans know it or not, they woke up this morning in a nation different than it was the day before.
A former U.S. president – and the Republican Party’s all-but-certain nominee for president this November – now stands convicted of vague crimes by a Democratic Party jury on charges brought by a Democratic Party prosecutor overseen by a plainly hostile Democratic Party judge.
Heretofore responsible conservatives are today openly calling for GOP prosecutors to respond to the Democrats’ “lawfare” by exacting retribution in legal venues friendly to their side. Presumably, that strategy would entail indicting prominent Democrats on criminal charges
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.
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
Retiring West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is leaving the Democratic Party and has formally registered in his state as an independent, stoking speculation he may run for elected office again in November.
“Today, our national politics are broken and neither party is willing to compromise to find common ground,” Manchin said in a statement issued shortly after West Virginia radio host Hoppy Kercheval broke the news. “To stay true to myself and remain committed to put country before party, I have decided to register as an independent with no party affiliation and continue to fight for America’s sensible majority.”
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.
Yesterday’s vile travesty of justice, where President Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies, caused history of the dubious kind in America.
Many in the mainstream media, which is the PR wing for the Democrats, gloated over the fact that Trump became the first president in American history to be criminally convicted.
Since history is being mentioned, let’s look at another kind of history.
The history of net worths of past presidents both before and after completing their tenure as president.
Let’s begin with President Jimmy Carter: when he was sworn in, his net worth was $2.3 million. However, in current times his net worth is $10 million
First Lady Jill Biden has been campaigning for her beleaguered husband, President Joe Biden, by promoting a well-tested Democrat theme: Choose Good over Evil.
Yesterday, a Manhattan jury showed the world how evil America has become because of the actions of her husband and his supporters over the years. Former President Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was found guilty of 34 crimes related to falsifying business records - 11 counts (invoices), 12 counts (ledger entries), and 11 counts (checks).
In a May DailyMail.com/TIPP Poll, voters overwhelmingly said that Donald Trump could not get a fair trial in New York due to bias against him.
The National Institutes of Health is taking action so that in case Donald Trump wins in November, it will be a lot harder for scientists at NIH to be punished for their misdeeds, according to Politico. Per the 41-page draft of NIH’s new “Scientific Integrity Policy” (call it SIP), a Scientific Integrity Council (call it SIC) will be created. [snip] the SIC would protect even knowingly false information it likes. Illegal gain-of-function research caused the lab leak that wreaked havoc and destruction on the world? Toxic killer remdesivir pushed through the approval process using shady practices?
The fix was in against Donald Trump. You knew it, they knew it, everyone knew it. The Left didn't even try to hide it. New York DA Alvin Bragg campaigned on nailing Trump, and he received money from a George Soros-supported group. Judge Juan Merchan repeatedly slammed down Trump's defense, let the prosecution run wild, and gave the Manhattan jury instructions that took them by the hand and walked them directly to a guilty verdict. This miscarriage of justice was so conspicuous and outrageous that Trump's 2024 campaign site crashed from people trying to donate.
If you’ve been following former President Donald Trump’s hush-money trial in New York, you might have seen the shocking news that the judge in that trial, Juan Merchan, issued bizarre and plainly unconstitutional jury instructions on Wednesday, telling jurors they need not agree on what crime Trump allegedly committed to reach a unanimous guilty verdict.
(snip) the jury could come back with a guilty verdict without agreeing on whether Trump committed election fraud, tax fraud, or falsification of business records. He essentially divided the jury into three groups of four, saying that if they’re split 4-4-4 on what crime Trump committed, he’d treat that as unanimous.
The world was rocked after former President Donald Trump was found guilty on 34 felony charges for falsifying business records.
The jury of seven men and five women at Manhattan Criminal Court deliberated for nearly 10 hours before convicting the former president.
It was the first time a former U.S. President has faced a criminal trial and the verdict could upend the 2024 White House race, proving a pivotal moment in the history of the United States.
Read DailyMail.com’s live coverage after Donald Trump was found guilty:
A court rejected New York Attorney General Letitia James’ attempt to move her lawsuit against a pro-life organization from upstate New York to Manhattan last Tuesday. Her lawsuit comes after the pro-life organization Heartbeat International sued James over her politically motivated targeting of pregnancy help centers.
James, who has a track record of weaponizing the justice system against pro-life advocates, is suing Heartbeat International and several other associated pregnancy help centers. She alleges these organizations made “false and misleading statements” about abortion pill reversal (APR)

The events of the past several weeks have shown us there are harsh landscapes ahead. We are traveling to places that have never been contemplated.
The European Parliament election is just around the corner. In Germany, one in four people will not go to the polls. A new survey shows that those who do may want to punish the federal government. The elections for the EU Parliament are the world's second-largest exercise in democracy after India's general election. Around 450 million EU citizens will be called upon to vote for the European Parliament from June 6-9. Germany fields 96 of the 720 EU lawmakers.
Campaigners have been out and about for weeks, but many eligible voters show little interest: Four out of ten say they are not planning to cast their ballot on June 9.
Either you’re willing to jail Democrats on the same terms they’re using to jail Trump, or you’re merely controlled opposition.
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.
“Rigged” is a favorite word of Donald Trump and his allies.
It describes how institutions and processes have been distorted by a progressive elite to tilt the playing field against Trump and his supporters. For the former president, it’s an all-purpose charge lodged against anything he dislikes and is especially useful as applied to the 2020 election, since it can vaguely encompass everything from sharp practices by the other side to outright theft.
When Trump made his statement to reporters Wednesday morning prior to the jury getting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case, he repeatedly used the word “rigged,” and in this instance, he was absolutely right.

Sometimes unexpected but dramatic events tear off the thin veneer of respectability and convention. What follows is the exposure and repudiation of long-existing but previously covered-up pathologies.
Events like the destruction of the southern border over the last three years, the October 7 massacre and ensuing Gaza war, the campus protests, the COVID-19 epidemic and lockdown, and the systematic efforts to weaponize our bureaucracies and courts have all led to radical reappraisals of American culture and civilization.
Since the 1960s, universities have always been hotbeds of left-wing protests, sometimes violently so.
CNN’s Jamie Gangel spoke eloquently of the guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump. It’s levels of idiocy that are beyond comprehension. No, members of the liberal media, the lack of corroborating witnesses for the prosecution doesn’t speak to the strength of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case. It highlights the bias and kangaroo court-like antics that transpired over this little alleged campaign finance violation that anti-Trump prosecuting attorneys tried to turn into Watergate. With Biden’s poll numbers sinking like the Andrea Doria, the courts had to do something to give Biden a public relations win, if only for a second.
The Biden administration has reportedly “quietly” authorized Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to strike Russian forces within Russia itself.
“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” an anonymous official told Politico on Thursday.
This means Ukrainian forces can now use American rockets and rocket launchers to eliminate Russian missiles headed toward Kharkiv and to also take down Russian bombers dropping bombs on Kharkiv.
President Joe Biden is guilty of persecuting his political opponents, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (I-HI) declared after former President Donald Trump was found guilty in New York on Thursday of 34 counts of falsifying business records.
“Biden: GUILTY of abuse of power. Biden: GUILTY of turning our country into a banana republic where those in power use the law to go after their political opponents. Biden: GUILTY of undermining our Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein,” said Gabbard, who officially shed her identity as a Democrat in 2022, accusing the party of being “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.”

As everybody but the New Guinea tribesmen who ate Joe Biden's uncle knows by now, Donald J Trump has been found "guilty on all counts" - a quintessentially American expression because, of course, the multiple-counts racket is one of the many perversions of judicial norms that have long disgraced the US courthouse. (Snip) A governing party of a serious nation so indifferent to elementary maxims of prudence that it's prepared to invent out of whole cloth crimes with which to convict the leader of the opposition is not one you'd want to bank on to keep us from stumbling into, say, a third world war.
Convicted perjurer, thief, and disgraced former personal attorney to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, publicly celebrated the guilty verdict against Trump, who was convicted on 34 felony counts of Alvin Bragg’s rigged trial.
“Guilty On All Counts! #TeamCohen,” Cohen posted on social media platform X, moments after the verdict, celebrating what many Americans see as a miscarriage of justice. (X)
In a separate post, Cohen wrote, “Today is an important day for accountability and the rule of law.”
He added, “While it has been a difficult journey for me and my family, the truth always matters. I want to thank my attorneys Danya Perry for her invaluable guidance and support throughout this process.”
The craziest thing about Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan is that it happened at all.
For those of us with some recent family history in the Third World, or the communist world, what made America exceptional was that this sort of thing would not happen here — i.e. trials in which the ruling party tried to imprison its opponents based on fabricated charges.In Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, Trump was on trial for a crime that was known only to the prosecution, never fully explained.“Falsification of business records to conceal …” what, exactly? The prosecution presented no evidence of that mysterious other crime.
A fever of censorship has seemed to descend upon the British Isles lately, and the world—especially the U.S.—finally may be waking up to it. (Snip) But that is just what many in the United Kingdom seem to want. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a longtime pro-life leader with March for Life UK, was arrested in December 2022 for silently praying within an abortion clinic “buffer zone.” A widely shared video shows a Birmingham police officer asking Vaughan-Spruce, “Are you praying?” as she stands quietly within the buffer zone, to which she replies: “I might be praying in my head.” Immediately after, the officer informs her that she is under arrest.
All of the usual suspects in crazy, liberal Hollywood celebrated today after the guilty verdict was handed down in New York City.
Their pathological hatred of Donald Trump is a thousand times greater than their love for the United States of America.
They think this is a victory for them. They think that they finally ‘got’ Trump. It was Christmas in May for Hollywood celebrities after a jury in deep blue New York City voted to convict former President Donald Trump on all 34 counts in his business records case.
While an appeal is a certainty — “This is far from over,” Trump said following the verdict — the stars nevertheless
Judge Jeanine Pirro of FOX News reacted to the Trump verdict today by saying that America has gone over a cliff.
As a judge herself, Jeanine lamented what this decision has done to the public image of our legal system, but as a political matter she was clearly outraged.

On Memorial Day, during the Annual Ashli Babbitt Freedom March in D.C., I had the chance to speak with Hanna Rosin, who was covering the march for the Atlantic magazine with fellow reporter Lauren Ober.
As I tried to explain while we were walking, Ober and Rosin have an extraordinary opportunity. They can be the first journalists to share with their half of America the epic story of January 6 — the true story, that is. I cautioned, however, that as MSNBC learned the hard way, there are powerful people who do not want that story told.
The ignorance about January 6 is staggering.
British and US forces carried out a joint operation against the Houthi rebels in Yemen on Thursday "to degrade their ability to persist with their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden". The UK Defence Ministry said intelligence had confirmed two sites near Hodeidah as being involved with the Houthi anti-shipping attacks.
Buildings were identified as housing drone ground control centres and providing storage for very long range drones, as well as surface-to-air weapons used to impede coalition operations to safeguard shipping in the region.
A set of Houthi sites at Ghulayfiqah, further south on the Yemeni coast, had also been identified
Legal expert Jonathan Turley reacted with strong words to the guilty verdict of former President Donald Trump, who was convicted on all 34 counts at his New York hush money trial after only two days of jury deliberations spanning over nine hours.
"I obviously disagree with this verdict as do many others," Turley tweeted, saying that he believes that the case will be reversed "eventually" either at the state or federal level. "However," the George Washington University Law School professor added, "this was the worst expectation for a trial in Manhattan. I am saddened by the result more for the New York legal system than the former president.

There's some fascinating news about an alliance between billionaires Elon Musk and Nelson Peltz and former President Donald Trump.
We reported on Musk's meeting with Trump in March. Now, there are more details about the meeting, which was reportedly at Peltz's mansion. The men also had their sons at the meeting: Barron, Diesel, and Musk's son X, who is a toddler. There were also allegedly other wealthy and powerful people at the meeting. At the meeting, the billionaires told Trump about a "massive data-driven project to ensure votes are fairly counted" that they were working on — a topic of great concern for Trump.
