Trump’s Legal Team Has Fantastic Day in Court as It Battles ‘Draconian’ $454 Million Fraud Judgement Brought on by Letitia James

 In the wake of two failed assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump, one could easily lose sight of the myriad ways in which other Trump-hating lunatics have tried to destroy the 45th president.

On Thursday, according to Fox News, a panel of New York appeals court judges sounded skeptical about the $454 million judgment rendered against Trump by New York Judge Arthur Engoron — a judgment the former president’s attorneys rightly characterized as “draconian, unlawful, and unconstitutional.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James brought the lawsuit, accusing Trump and others of committing financial fraud by overvaluing assets.

Due to interest accumulating at $112,000 per day during the appeals process, Trump’s total fine now stands at $470 million.

During oral arguments Thursday, Judge Peter H. Moulton said that the “immense penalty in this case is troubling.”

In fact, according to Politico, Moulton appeared to question the validity of the entire lawsuit.

“I think you hear underneath all these questions, the question of mission creep,” Moulton said to Deputy Solicitor General Judith Vale, who argued the case for James.

In other words, Moulton wondered aloud whether the statute James used to bring the lawsuit had “morphed into something that it was not meant to do?”

James argued that Trump had committed fraud by using overvalued assets to secure favorable terms from banks and insurance companies. The deranged and pliant Engoron agreed.

Incredibly, however, the attorney general could find no actual victims of the former president’s alleged fraud.

Thus, Associate Justice Llinet Rosado noted that the transactions in question had “little to no impact on the public marketplace.”

Rosado made that comment on the heels of another skeptical observation from Associate Justice David Friedman.

Friedman asked Vale whether the attorney general’s office had ever used the consumer-protection statute in question “to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners.”

In other words, those banks and insurers did not fall off the proverbial turnip truck. They knew the value of Trump’s properties and relished his business.

Thursday on the social media platform X, prominent legal scholar Jonathan Turley shared more skepticism from Friedman.

“Because I’ve gone through the case that you’ve cited, and all of them always involved consumer protection aspect — it involved protection of the market. You don’t have anything like that here,” the judge said.

Engoron issued his “draconian” ruling in February.

Since then, Democrat operatives have tried to imprison the former president in a separate and equally unjust New York case. And at least two lunatics have come close to murdering him.

Recently, we have heard that multiple assassination teams, foreign and domestic, have continued to hunt the former president.

Thus, while it is easy to lose sight of a civil fraud trial amid all the other madness occasioned by deranged  Trump-haters, we nonetheless welcome these encouraging signs that appeals court judges in New York might actually see the James- and Engoron-led persecution of Trump for what it is.

Lawmakers Prepare for ‘Mass Casualty’ Event, Push Constitutional Amendment to Undermine Election Integrity and Control House Vacancies in a ‘National Crisis’

 If there is another pandemic aka Biowarfare against America or any other attack against the United States to stop an election that is treason.  Hang allthecorruptmutherfuckersifithappens

As political tensions rise in the U.S., Congress is preparing for the possibility of a major “mass casualty event” that could dramatically change its makeup.

With recent assassination attempts and increasingly heated public discourse, lawmakers are considering drastic steps, including a possible Constitutional Amendment that would allow for the direct appointment of House representatives in the event of mass vacancies.

According to the Constitution, any emerging vacancies in the House must be filled through elections, unlike Senate vacancies which can be filled by appointment.

However, following the events of 9/11, a law was enacted to enable rapid elections if over 100 House seats are vacant—supposedly to keep the government running as smoothly as possible by expediting the process.

But now, with the shadow of political violence looming large, lawmakers are opportunistically pushing for a system where governors can swiftly appoint new members to Congress, fundamentally circumventing the People’s right to directly elect these individuals by vote.

On Thursday, during a subcommittee hearing on “Preparing for the Future by Learning From the Past,” lawmakers gathered to discuss the amendment.

Rep. Derek Kilmer (WA-D), a leading proponent of the bill, stated during the hearing, “Congress hasn’t fully considered the implications of a mass casualty event affecting members and the impact it would have on our ability to function in a time of need.”

In other words, they are about to consider it. Kilmer is pushing for the bill to be called to the floor for a vote.

Under the proposed legislation, elected representatives would be required to compile a list of potential successors deemed qualified to serve in Congress.

In the event that a House member’s seat becomes vacant due to death or incapacitation, a state governor would have only 10 days to appoint someone from this list, allowing for a replacement until a special election can be held.

Although intended as a temporary measure until special elections are held, it raises the question of whether unforeseen emergencies could arise, delaying the election, allowing unelected representatives to remain in office longer than expected.

The bill could set a dangerous precedent, particularly in a time when public trust in the electoral process is already fragile.

In fact, it’s no surprise that the discussions regarding the bill come just weeks before the 2024 presidential election is set to take place.

Following the election in 2020, Trump supporters stood in unity at the Capitol building on January 6th, to protest the certification of the election over fears that their votes were disenfranchised by fraudulent activity.

During the protest, supporters were ushered into the building by officers in what appeared to be a false flag operation to frame patriots as insurrections, despite no proof of the claim and therefore no insurrection charges against anyone arrested.

Many Republican voters are understandably on edge as we approach the upcoming election as the fears of disenfranchisement that marked the last election continue to grow.

Unlike last time, voters are now more aware of potential fraud as they prepare to scrutinize the electoral process closely. The moment voters get a whiff of suspected fraud, there will likely be an immediate uproar.

This begs the question of if this recent legislative maneuvering is a desperate attempt by the regime to shield itself from the inevitable backlash of a population that feels betrayed yet again. Are they gearing up for not just for an electoral contest, but a full-scale confrontation from the people whose votes they continue to undermine?

The implications are chilling.

Ultimately, it’s clear that the elite in Washington are more concerned about maintaining their power than truly representing those they are meant to serve, and this bill further proves that.

Greg Gutfeld Rips Media for Ignoring Story of Thousands of Criminal Illegal Aliens in America: ‘Biggest Crime Story I’ve Ever Seen’ (VIDEO)

 

This week it was revealed that there are now tens of thousands of illegals in the U.S. who are murderers, rapists, and other assorted criminals and the liberal media has almost completely ignored the story.

During The Five on FOX News on Friday, Greg Gutfeld slammed the media blackout, calling this the biggest crime story he has ever seen.

The media has to ignore this story for obvious reasons. Reporting on it would highlight one of the greatest political vulnerabilities of Kamala Harris and we can’t have that.

RedState has details:

Gutfeld noted during Fox News’ “The Five” that this story was “so unbelievable” that he “wanted to see if it was reported elsewhere.” Unsurprisingly, he could find nary a word about what he calls “probably the biggest crime story I’ve ever seen” on the likes of CNN, ABC, and Drudge. And he had a special message for the Democrat “hate watchers” of Fox News: “The media doesn’t want you to know this information. They don’t want it to reach you. They’re rather you die or be raped than Trump be right or find out the truth.”

No one does Gutfeld better than Gutfeld, so here he is in his own words…

“Tell us, no, it’s not 60,000 rapists. It’s only 8000. It’s only 7000 murderers. Cool. I’m glad you’re okay with that. I’m glad. I’ll take your fact check. But anybody who defends this or says it’s not that big a deal is complicit. And they should be held accountable….these bastards were more offended by stories of cats being eaten than real stories. Real stories reported here of actual rape and murder….This is a huge story. Where is it?”

Watch the whole clip below:

Our media is broken beyond repair. They care more about their leftist politics than they do about the country.

John Kerry Derides First Amendment as Major Roadblock to Government Being Able to “Hammer” Dissent “Out of Existence”

 So This is Kerry's words then you look at the link's below the Psycho Stinking Human Garbage in the Democrat media says trump will be Hitler?  WTF are these Authoritarian Marxist wanting to do with the first and second amendment?

Credit: World Economic Forum

During the Sustainable Development Impact Meeting held by the World Economic Forum (WEF), John Kerry brazenly admitted that first amendment is a threat to government power.

During the discussion, Kerry stated that free speech, particularly on social media, threatens ‘democracies’ by inhibiting the government’s ability to manufacture a consensus through the control of information.

”…I think the dislike like of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing, and that’s part of our problem particularly in democracies — in terms of building consensus around any issue, its really hard to govern today.”

He goes on to describe how gatekeeping information has become increasingly difficult due to the wide array of information providers online that have been made easily accessible via the internet.

“The referees we used to have to determine what’s a fact and what isn’t a fact, it kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree…”

It is interesting to note that Kerry ended that statement with “to a certain degree,” could this have been a subconscious slip of the tongue? After all, most conservatives are aware that speech IS highly controlled on social media.

Regardless, Kerry and the rest of the Deep State clearly feel like they have not obtained enough control over public opinion online, and that even the small percentage of information providers who are able to break through the rigged system pose a major threat.

“…And people go and people self select where they go for their news and for their information, and then you just get into a vicious cycle. So it’s really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than any time in the 45-50 years I’ve been involved in this.”

Kerry finally concludes his statement by blatantly admitting that the first amendment threatens the narrative that the government wants to push on Americans to form a general “consensus”.

”Look, if people go to one source and the one source they go to is sick and, you know, has an agenda and their putting out disinformation, our first amendment stands as a major block to the ability to just hammer it out of existence,” he stated.

“What we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”

Again, it is interesting to note Kerry’s choice of words. He implies that in order for the government to gain ‘rights’, the people must lose theirs — and his implication is correct.

The plandemic exposed the harsh reality that when people become convinced that those in power are acting in their best interest, many will allow the government to exchange the public’s rights for their own.

The constitution was originally created to restrict the government from impeding on the rights of Americans, and it has been quite effective for much of the existence of the country. However, the constitution still needs to be defended by its citizens and not solely entrusted to the government to uphold.

HUGE: Leaked Conversation Between Arizona’s Democrat Gov, Attorney General, and Secretary of State Reveals Attempt to Cover Up 98,000 Voter Registration Glitch – Officials Worried About Calls for New 2020 and 2022 Elections

 

Arizona Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes (left), Arizona Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs (right)

A newly leaked phone call between Arizona’s Democratic statewide officeholders reveals how they scrambled to find a narrative before announcing a statewide error that validated the citizenship of nearly 100,000 voters.

“It’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections,” said Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on the call obtained by the Washington Post. “They’re going to be calling for new 2020 and ’22 elections as well,” Hobbs worried, referencing her own election that she rigged and stole from Kari Lake last midterm cycle.

Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted that “all of these elections are challengeable” as a result of the state not verifying voters’ citizenship.

Still, it is unclear who leaked the phone call. This could have been a staged phone call and “leak” to make it seem as though the officials were doing their best to ensure election integrity and transparency.

 

All three of the officials on the call allegedly won their elections in 2022, where 60% of machines failed on election day in the State’s largest county, Maricopa, and hundreds of thousands of phony or illegal mail-in ballots were believed to have been counted. Notably, Katie Hobbs, as Secretary of State, was responsible for overseeing the elections in 2020 and 2022.

This leak of the September 10 phone call also verifies that the election officials knew about this issue a week or more earlier than they led the public to believe.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda told The Gateway Pundit two days ago, “It’s my understanding that the Secretary knew and informed the Governor on September 6.” However, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer did not notify the public of the glitch until September 17.

 

The Gateway Pundit reported on the error, announced by Richer, in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department’s (MVD) system that caused nearly 100,000 voter registrations to be validated without verifying the registrants’ citizenship.

But this error wasn't new. In fact, for 20 years, a loophole in the system has allowed individuals who received a driver’s license before 1996 to vote without citizenship verification.

Because Arizona began requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote in 2004, licenses issued before Arizona required proof of citizenship to drive in 1996, regardless of citizenship status, showed as proof of citizenship on file with the MVD, election officials claim.

 

“If a driver received a license prior to 1996, he did not have a documented proof of citizenship on file. But then, if he got a duplicate license (e.g. in the case of losing a license), the issuance date would be updated in the statewide voter registration’s interface with MVD,” Richer said.

During the 40-minute phone call, the Democrat officials debated how to proceed in what Hobbs described as “an urgent, a dire situation,” according to the Washington Post.

Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes also worried they would be accused of election fraud in 2024 and "beat up no matter what the hell we do."

 

“When this goes public, it is going to have all of the conspiracy theorists in the globe — in the world — coming back to re-litigate the past three elections, at least in Arizona,” said Governor Katie Hobbs, noting that it will "validate" the issue of illegals voting in elections.

Kris Mayes reportedly expressed worry that they would come under fire for disenfranchising Republican voters, who reportedly were more likely to have driver's licenses issued before the citizenship requirements were implemented.

Hobbs, who did not want to discuss the affected voters' party preferences out of fear of "politicizing" the issue, was met with Kris Mayes, reportedly telling her in an incredulous tone, “I mean, Katie, I understand your point about not politicizing this, but the reality is that if we let this happen, all of these elections are challengeable. They’re going to be calling for a new election.”

 

Their solution to this issue, proposed by the Democrat Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, was a "friendly lawsuit," which, as The Gateway Pundit reported, was filed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. It makes sense, as the Democrat leaders were worried about politicizing the issue that affected more Republican voters, they would use Richer, a Republican (in name only), to file a lawsuit.

Richer's lawsuit called for the affected voters--mostly Republicans--to be registered as "Federal only" voters, who, under state law, cannot vote in local elections because they have not provided documentary proof of citizenship.

The emergency lawsuit, filed in the State's highest court, was quickly ruled upon, and affected voters will still be allowed to vote on a full ballot.

This is a developing story...

Biden-Harris Regime Accused of Exploiting $5 Billion Medicare Fund to Manipulate Election Outcomes

In yet another blatant attempt to secure votes ahead of the 2024 election, the Biden-Harris regime has found itself embroiled in a massive $5 billion Medicare scandal.

The administration’s $5 billion Medicare stabilization program, announced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in July 2024, is part of a three-year demonstration project intended to keep premiums lower for seniors.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has sent an urgent letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ), calling for an investigation into whether the move violates the Hatch Act, which forbids the use of taxpayer funds to influence elections.

“We write to you today seeking additional information on the Biden-Harris Administration’s plan to spend over $5 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies to insurers to offset Medicare premium increases before the November election,” Sen. Paul wrote to Corey Amundson, the Chief of the Public Integrity Section at the DOJ.

 

“My colleagues and I are concerned that the Biden-Harris Administration is inappropriately using taxpayer funds to mask the defective Medicare Part D policies enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. Given the IRA’s central role in the Biden-Harris Administration’s presidential campaign, these concerns warrant additional investigation.”

It’s no secret that Medicare premiums have skyrocketed, thanks in large part to the IRA’s rushed and poorly designed reforms. In fact, Medicare premiums surged by a staggering 21% in 2023 alone, leaving seniors struggling to afford their prescriptions.

Now, with premiums expected to rise even higher in 2024, the Biden administration’s convenient “solution” has arrived just in time for election season—a move that Paul says smacks of political interference.

The Kentucky senator’s letter goes on to highlight the dubious legality of the administration’s actions.

Under Section 402 of the Social Security Amendments of 1967, CMS is granted authority to modify payment methods to improve the efficiency of Medicare.

However, as Paul points out, the Biden administration’s $5 billion bailout of Medicare insurers lacks any credible research or analysis to justify its so-called “efficiency.”

Instead, it seems aimed solely at lowering premiums in the short term to save face and secure votes.

Even more troubling is the potential violation of federal law. According to Paul, the administration’s actions may run afoul of the Hatch Act, which prohibits public officials from using taxpayer dollars to influence elections.

Citing 18 U.S.C. § 595, Paul argues that the Biden-Harris administration’s actions represent a clear and egregious attempt to interfere with the election by artificially propping up their Medicare policies.

“It is hard to imagine a more decisive action the Biden-Harris Administration could take to influence the election than spending billions of taxpayer dollars to cover up the negative impacts of their own highly touted IRA,” Sen. Paul wrote in the letter.

The timing is certainly suspicious. For over a year, the Biden administration turned a blind eye to rising Medicare premiums, ignoring the pleas of seniors and healthcare advocates alike. But now, with election day fast approaching, they’ve miraculously found a way to freeze premiums—at the expense of hardworking taxpayers, of course.

Sen. Paul has requested that the DOJ launch an immediate investigation into the administration’s actions and report their findings by October 16, 2024.

“With these considerations in mind, I request an expeditious investigation by your agency into any communications, including but not limited to interviews, internal phone calls, notes, emails, and all CMS records regarding the section 402 demonstration, and provide a determination to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs (HSGAC) if Biden-Harris officials may have acted in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 595 by October 16, 2024.”
