Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/25/2024 2:45:52 PM

Biden-Harris Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Monday to dismiss all felony charges against President-elect Donald Trump in relation to the January 6 election-interference case. Trump was accused of interfering in the 2020 election and was indicted in August 2023 on multiple charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. On Monday, Smith petitioned U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, who is presiding over the case, to dismiss the case in accordance with the DOJ’s policy to not prosecute sitting presidents.

Counselor Smith, ewe are next for massive election interference. Get yourself a good criminal lawyer and get your affairs in order like Sonny Black. And remember that an anyone who acts as his own lawyer has a fool for a client and an ass for an attorney. My constitutional law professor at Vanderbilt told me that fifty years ago. Who'm I to doubt him?

Sorry, using the DOJ excuse is not good enough but was enough for him to weasel out of this miscarriage of justice. The entire case should be reviewed by the incoming DOJ,and they better have all of the timeline of the work product intact too. Also, fire everyone who was working on this case too. Prosecute where needed but make sure you thoroughly review this case to show it was pure politics which most believe it was.

This is great news, however, do not underestimate the deep state. So does this dismissal open an alley for the deep state to do what they accused DJT of doing?

Smith asked for the D.C. case to be dismissed without prejudice, meaning Trump could still potentially be prosecuted for the same charges when he leaves office in four years. Jack Squat and Tanya Shutkan are banking on a Quemala presidency down the road.

No way Trump should accept this. The case should be dismissed WITH prejudice that will mean it is permanently closed. Otherwise they could retry after this term on the same case. It is unlikely that anyone will be interested in starting up a new case after Trump's term is over. The nasty Smith wants to leave this hanging over Trump's head. Since there are significant questions about the validity of Smith's position, the case should be permanently dropped.

This was filed without prejudice so it can be brought up when Trump is no longer President, but if all is right with the world, by then Jack Smith will have to file it from prison.

The 'Shutdown' Propaganda Is Ridiculous 5 replies

Americans used to be afraid of government shutdowns, and a few still are. Ever worried about catching flak, it's almost a given that they bend the knee to Democrats and give them what they want. This is a hangover from the Clinton years when Bill Clinton could look into the camera with his scolding eyes and blame Republicans for every bad thing, and people bought the spin because the Pravda Media kept repeating it. Republicans learned a lesson, but the wrong one. What they should have figured out is that the Democrats and the media would attack them no matter what, so they should just go

House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle joined together to reject Speaker Mike Johnson’s latest stopgap funding package Thursday night, with one day to spare before a partial government shutdown is set to begin. The House voted 174-235 against the package under suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support from those present and voting for passage. Thirty-eight Republicans bucked leadership and President-elect Donald Trump, a staunch proponent of the revised bill. Going to the Rules Committee to report out a rule for floor debate that could be adopted on a simple majority had been GOP leaders’ next move. But leadership quickly put the kibosh

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes said his home was among those targeted by a man suspected in a triple homicide who was fatally shot by suburban Chicago police late Wednesday night following a home invasion. The situation started around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday in downstate Illinois, just outside of Champaign, where police said a triple homicide took place. According to Illinois State Police, three people were killed in the 1100 block of Riverside Drive in Mahomet. All three were shot, with one pronounced dead at the scene and two others dying at area hospitals. Roughly two hours later,

President-elect Donald Trump has big plans to deliver on his campaign pledge to secure the southern border, pledging to issue a flurry of executive actions on day one of his presidency to stem the massive flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. But questions remain about when and how Trump plans to deliver on his fresh pledge to protect the so-called “Dreamers” – a term for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children and do not have a path to citizenship. “The Dreamers are going to come later, and we have to do something about the Dreamers because these are people

An appellate court removed Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D) from the racketeering case against President-elect Donald Trump over her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Georgia’s court of appeals ruled Thursday that Willis will be removed from the case because of the appearance of misconduct surrounding her relationship with Wade, but did not throw out the case all together. “While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety is generally not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the three judge panel ruled.

Beginning on Wednesday and through Jan. 17, unmanned aircraft are barred from flying within a nautical mile of specified airspace outlined in an FAA Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM. The government may use “deadly force” against the drones if they present an “imminent security threat,” the NOTAM said.

The only time I ever agreed with MSNBC’s Joy Reid was when she declared the Left victorious in the culture wars following the hyper-woke Grammy Awards on CBS in February 2023. “Culture wars are over, and the Left won, like total defeat,” she declared on her newscast the following evening. “Despite the almost hysterical war the Right is waging to take the culture back to the John Wayne era, they’re not just losing. They literally cannot win. Cultural progression is relentless. Once people get a taste of modernity, they almost never go back willingly.” And who could blame her for the burst of hubris? After all,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has loudly announced his intention to "Trump proof" the state ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025. Some of the things he wants to do will be extremely unpopular with the state's residents, and legislators who watched their districts vote for Trump (or saw big leaps in that direction) will be wary of publicly signing on to his radical agenda. He's in a bit of a conundrum. He's probably been longing for the unchecked power he had from March 2020 through February 28, 2023, when Californians lived under a State of Emergency for the COVID pandemic.

Democrats have engaged in many election post mortems, but they are either unable or unwilling to come go grips with the real reasons why they lost the 2024 election. One of many cases in point is this op-ed by Rahm Emanuel in The Washington Post. Emanuel’s theme is that the Democrats are too nice, and too joyful, for their own good. The Post’s subhed for the piece is “Campaigns of joy in an era of rage don’t win elections.” Which means that the Post can’t tell the difference between joy and gaslighting. Emanuel writes: When Donald Trump declared, “I am your warrior.

But prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office called the allegations “untested” and “unsworn,” casting the claim as an effort to undermine public confidence in the case.

The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned. Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark. Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

Radiation levels have spiked in New York City, fueling conspiracy theories that the drones terrorizing the Northeast are searching for a missing nuclear warhead. The emissions, clocked by GQ Electronics' Geiger Counter World Map, were detected near the Bronx and Upper West Side Wednesday. The application shows a radiation reading of 1048 counts-per-minute (CPM), i.e. how many particles were detected, in the Bronx: higher than normal background radiation. The average person is typically exposed to background radiation that measures around five to 60 CPM, though CPM varies with sensor devices, according to NASA.
