As reported earlier, former Democrat Senator Bob Menendez, 71, sobbed in court as he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for bribery and corruption. A tearful Menendez sobbed as he begged SDNY Judge Sidney Stein to have mercy on him. The judge showed no mercy to “Gold Bar Bob” and sentenced him to 11 years. (X) Last summer a jury convicted Senator Bob Menendez on all bribery and corruption charges. (Snip) Following his brutal sentencing, Menendez stunned reporters as he praised President Trump. “President Trump was right. This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool

Horse manure. Menendez is a crook, guilty as hell of taking bribes. Not anything remotely related to the political hit jobs against Trump. He's fishing for a pardon that will never come.

Also, apparently Menendez regularly went to the Dominican Republic to have sex with little girls there.

Defiant all the way to the point a judge throws his butt into prison for 11 years, then cries like a baby. He realizes that he may die in prison. Reality has a way of clarifying things.

The sad part is that Menendez is no different than dozens of his colleagues in Congress. The real scandal here is he was probably chosen to settle internal political differences. Trump is right but his persecution has NOTHING to go with this case.

He crossed Biden and the Democrat party. Otherwise he could have continued with his corruption with no chance of prosecution. There are plenty of other corrupt Democrats and RINOs who will be protected against prosecution since they tow the party line.

If the gold was not stolen and is his he should not have to explain anything about it. Make them prove it is the fruits of a crime. This used to be America, even for filthy old crooks like him. Its up to the government to prove a crime was committed and he is the one who committed it. Its not up to him to justify ownership of otherwise legal items.

Several years ago, I had a brief conversation with an elected county official. He will not take anything for free. At certain social events, the host company will ask attendee to put a business card in a basket for a free drawing. Either he will not put his card in or he will refuse the gift if his card is selected. (He also has personal policies about drinking alcohol at public events.)

This isn't sucking up to Trump, it's a slap at the Biden DOJ that allowed him to be indicted. Probably his last chance to publicly get back at them. He had become a liability and Biden's DOJ took him off the table. Otherwise, he'd have continued violating the law with impunity. That's how the Democrats operate.

Miami— President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he “better move fast” to negotiate an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or risk not having a nation to lead. The rhetoric from Trump toward Ukraine comes amid an escalating back-and-forth between the two presidents and rising tensions between Washington and much of Europe over Trump’s approach to settling the biggest conflict on the continent since World War II. Trump’s harsh words for Zelenskyy drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans in the United States, where Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression has had bipartisan support. Zelenskyy said Trump was falling into a Russian disinformation trap —

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night barring illegal immigrants from receiving federally-funded benefits. “My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” read the text of Trump’s order. The president noted that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits, but he argued that in the decades since its passage “numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress.”

Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) late Tuesday after his grandfather’s namesake JFK Presidential Library and Museum temporarily closed due to layoffs of taxpayer-funded staff. The 32-year-old grandson of President John F, Kennedy told the cost-cutting DOGE initiative to “eat s–t” after the Boston-based library shut its doors Tuesday afternoon because of staffing cuts. The library blamed the closure on President Trump’s recent executive order overhauling the federal workforce. “Hey, it’s Jack,” Schlossberg said in the clip posted online — just two weeks after he dramatically claimed he was quitting social media. “I’m OK, but our country is not.
