President Trump Receives Sentence of "Unconditional
Discharge" Simply so Democrats Can Have
a "Convicted Felon President" Narrative

Original Article

The notoriously political Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. That’s it. That’s the sum of motive and intent. To create a narrative. That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. Few people care about the issues and the entire case is likely to be thrown out on a host of appeal reasonings.

"The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. ... To create a narrative." Absolutely. But the problem the Left faces is, their "victory" is hollow. Who is going to sell this narrative? The imploding propaganda media who couldn't sell anything during the election and has lost huge chunks of their "audience" since then? The dems in Congress and their Deep State allies? They are about to become powerless and the Deep State operatives all have targets on their backs. It won't be "Ready, Aim, Fire!", it's going to be "You're FIRED!!!". As for the case itself, it will be appealed and if there is any justice it is likely that Bragg and Merchan will be censored for their actions. Why? Because the businessmen in NY are up in arms over the tactics used and they know the same type of garbage could be used against them some day. The governor of NY promised them that this was a "for Trump only" use of these actions. That just SCREAMS political witch hunt. The mess has to be shut down and cleaned up. This is yet another failed assault on Trump, all of which he has survived, been stronger after, and his opponents diminished. You would think they would learn, but they ARE Leftists and obviously none too bright.

Least we forget Biden's nationwide TV address informing all of us non-Biden people that we were traitors and that we would be destroyed in due time for our perceived thought crimes by the US military and other US government agencies - we were all "convicted felons" in the court of Democrat & public opinion! Let's wear that concept as a badge of honor - when the system is completely corrupt only the innocent and the non-corrupt are "felons / criminals / those who must be destroyed".

Merchan's show trial convicted 47 on bogus charges. The convictions will more than likely be overturned on appeal. A short term gain for Bragg and Merchan. A badge of honor for 47. We don't care about the show trial, it is what it is.

I think this lawfare and the ridiculous charges backfired. The Trump haters and Stone Age Democrat voters were always going to vote for the Democrat candidate against any Republican, but a lot of independents and non-political people saw how unfair it was and went for DJT. As the old saying goes..."hoist with their own petard."

For Trump to be regarded as a “felon” by these packs of hyenas means absolutely nothing in reality. Zero, zip, nein, nada! There is no legitimate force of law in convicting him. It’s all a dog and pony show for demented libs.

When Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and her staff of clowns bungled a four-day ramble in 2023 to show off the wonder of electric vehicles, the lasting impression would be the report of her advance team blocking an open charger so she wouldn’t have to wait for one. A federal report, however, reveals details that cast the entire charade in an even worse light. The Granholm tour was to take her from Charlotte, N.C., to Memphis, Tenn., and was intended to justify the billions of taxpayers’ dollars the Biden administration was pouring into green energy initiatives. The message was lost when it was learned, two months after the incident,

JD Vance Makes Big and Controversial
Clarification on January 6th Pardons

In what will certainly stir controversy on the right, JD Vance made an important clarification about how the incoming Donald Trump administration will handle January 6th participants: Violent offenders will not be pardoned. Speaking to Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday," Vance was asked who exactly would be eligible for a pardon. The soon-to-be-vice president didn't shy away from the question. Many of the larger Trump-supporting accounts on social media are already lashing out at Vance, but it needs to be noted that neither Donald Trump nor JD Vance ever promised a blanket pardon for all those charged over January 6th.

Posted by Mercedes44 1/11/2025 3:13:17 PM Post Reply
One of the most wonderful things about Christianity is that there’s remarkable diversity in the way we can worship, provided we believe in the essentials of the faith. After the Protestant Reformation, denominations sprang up that allowed for variations in thoughts on secondary theological issues as well as styles of worship. In more recent years, the “mainline” denominations, so called because they were the churches along the main roads in towns, have opted for theological and political liberalism (and downright heresy) and have seen a resulting decline. Denominations still loom large on the landscape of American Christianity, but their influence is on the downslope, according to some new research.

As the story is told [SEE HERE], and it aligns with every scintilla of researched data on the darkest and deepest elements of the Deep State, DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard has reversed her position and will now support FISA-702, the warrantless searches of American communication and electronic metadata. Apparently the FISA process and the 702 aspect (specific to American citizens) is the line in the sand the Senate Select Intelligence Committee has drawn. If Tulsi Gabbard does not support it, her confirmation is in doubt. As a result, she has reportedly reversed her position and now supports it. This is absolutely par for the course.

President Biden slammed Meta on Friday for ending its third-party fact-checking program, arguing that the change goes against American values and is “shameful.” “The whole idea of walking away from facts checking [sic] as well as not reporting anything having to do with, uh, um, discrimination regarding TPS I find to be just contrary to American justice,” Biden said in response to a reporter’s question about Meta’s recent policy shift. It’s unclear what the 82-year-old president was referring to when he suggested Meta was not reporting discrimination “regarding TPS,” an acronym for the Temporary Protected Status program offered to foreign nationals from certain countries.

In business, Donald Trump was a real-estate guy. In the presidency, he might be one, too. The prospective foreign policy of his second term has taken an unexpected turn, with his recent talk of annexing Canada, buying Greenland and taking back the Panama Canal. Rather than the neo-isolationist that he’s often accused of being, Trump is talking like a neo-imperialist, at least in our own hemisphere. Even if President Trump does none of these things — he’s largely joking about the Great White North — his musings are a reminder of the crucial importance of geography and the control of territory.

We once had Teflon John, as in Gotti. Then we had Teflon Ron, as in Reagan. Now make way for Teflon Don, as in Trump. Pity the Democrats and their legacy media mouthpieces, who just can’t seem to find any attack line that sticks to the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president. Practice makes perfect, the old saying goes. But that doesn’t apply to today’s Dems, who have been smearing Trump for the better part of a decade without dragging him down. They can’t seem to find anything Americans — outside of those who still trust The New York Times and CNN — see as truly impactful or worth their outrage.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith concluded that Donald Trump engaged in an "unprecedented criminal effort" to hold on to power after losing the 2020 election, but was thwarted in bringing the case to trial by the president-elect's November election victory, according to a report published on Tuesday. The report details Smith's decision to bring a four-count indictment against Trump, accusing him of plotting to obstruct the collection and certification of votes following his 2020 defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden. It concludes that the evidence would have been enough to convict Trump at trial, but his imminent return to the presidency, set for Jan. 20, made that impossible.

Officials have expressed cautious optimism that a deal could soon be announced to halt 15 months of fighting that has destabilized the Middle East and devastated Gaza, allow for more aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave, and ensure the return of dozens of hostages held by Hamas since its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris convened Senior White House and Administration officials for a briefing on the federal government’s response to the Los Angeles wildfires. The Los Angeles fires have killed at least 24 people and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, and the reported estimated damage is around $150 billion. The damage is largely due to Democrats like Governor Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass after they slashed fire department funding and didn’t fill reservoirs. On Monday Biden announced his Regime is giving $770 to people impacted by the California wildfires.
