Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request reveal that the prosecutor in the case of New York v. Trump spent $1 million responding to congressional oversight of the prosecution at a time New York City officials demanded across-the-board budget cuts.

Documents obtained through litigation by the Oversight Project, a transparency initiative of the Heritage Foundation, revealed that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office issued an interoffice memo in April 2023 announcing a $1 million appropriation for outside counsel.

Two of the leading figures in President Donald Trump’s New York prosecution will testify before the U.S. House of Representatives on July 12th, just one day after President Trump’s sentencing.

According to Just The News, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D-N.Y.) and prosecutor and former Department of Justice (DOJ) official Matthew Colangelo are set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in July.

President Trump was charged with 34 felony counts over a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with former porn actress Stormy Daniels. In May, the jury found him guilty on all counts.

Both Bragg and Colangelo have been accused of weaponizing the prosecution for political purposes. Critics point to the fact that the case regarding the NDA was not pursued by Bragg’s predecessor, Cyrus Vance Jr., due to the weak nature of the case itself, and that Bragg only took on the case as part of a campaign promise to prosecute Trump.

President Joe Biden claims Hunter Biden is a victim of the weaponization of justice following his gun conviction on Tuesday.

A Delaware jury convicted Hunter on all three gun charges. He could potentially be sentenced to 25 years in prison and fined up to $750,000.

Biden vowed last week in France that he wouldn’t pardon Hunter. However, he hasn’t addressed whether he would consider a commutation.

According to two sources unauthorized to discuss private conversations publicly, the president carries a sense of guilt regarding Hunter’s legal troubles. These sources also revealed to Politico that Joe Biden feels he played a role in his son’s difficulties.

Restricting u-turns is now homophobic, and at this point, it would probably be a lot easier if the powers that be provided a list of all the things that are not anti-gay.

Silver Lake, a neighborhood in the City of Los Angeles known for its high hipster population, has officially taken down the last two “No U-turn” signs because they were supposedly put in place to prevent gay men from “cruising” and picking up other gay men.

According to the Los Angeles Daily News:

Getting rid of the signs was long overdue for many, including Donovan Daughtry, a gay man who five years ago moved to Silver Lake, known as being LGBTQ-friendly.

Two years ago, Daughtry reached out to L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman’s office about the signs after learning about them from a podcast hosted by Chris Cruse, founder of queermaps.org, an online archive of 150 years of queer history in L.A. On Monday, moments after he helped take down the last sign, Daughtry said, “This is a small effort, but just to have a sign that I would have to walk past with my dog every day be taken down meant a lot.”

Oh, geez. Cry me a river, Karen. This is how you know these people are privileged. They can literally go and complain that they don’t like a sign and city officials will get rid of them just so they don’t have to look at them. You really can’t get more spoiled than that, and they will still turn around and pretend they are victimized.

THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING: Four Russian warships were tracked as they cruised in international waters off the coast of Florida yesterday en route to Cuba for planned exercises in the Caribbean, in what U.S. officials describe as an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to show the Russian navy can still project power despite the humiliating loss of a third of its Black Sea Fleet to Ukrainian drones and missiles.

CNN showed pictures of the ships last night taken by a passenger on a Celebrity cruise line ship, about 90 miles off the coast.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the Admiral Gorshkov frigate, flagship of Russia’s Northern Fleet and said to be armed with Russia’s new Zircon hypersonic missiles, and the Kazan nuclear-powered submarine, capable of firing modern Kalibr cruise missiles, conducted drills in the Atlantic meant to simulate a missile strike on a group of enemy ships.

A new study shows that the majority of new jobs created in the United States since 2019 have gone to foreigners, including illegal aliens, who have replaced native-born Americans in the job market.

As reported by Breitbart, the study was published by Steven Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). The report reveals that 75% of American jobs have gone to foreigners, both legal and illegal since 2019; in the same period, less than one million American citizens have joined the workforce.

“The government’s household survey shows that there were only 971,000 more U.S.-born Americans employed in May 2024 compared to May 2019 prior to the pandemic, while the number of employed immigrants has increased by 3.2 million,” said Camarota.

Judge Robert L. Hinkle of the Federal District Court in Tallahassee ruled on Tuesday against upholding a Florida law that banned sex change surgeries, cross sex hormones and puberty blockers for minors.

The Southern Legal Counsel and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation challenged Florida SB 254 last July, allegingthe Florida law deprived parents from making “necessary” medical decisions for their children. Hinkle, who was nominated by former President Bill Clinton, wrote in his decision that the law was an “unconstitutional” restriction of “widely accepted gender-affirming medical care.”

“Transgender opponents are of course free to hold their beliefs,” Hinkle wrote in the decision. “But they are not free to discriminate against transgender individuals just for being transgender. In time, discrimination against transgender individuals will diminish, just as racism and misogyny have diminished. To paraphrase a civil-rights advocate from an earlier time, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

The latest data numbers for reported abortions from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) show that doctors performed 10 abortions in January 2024 under the medical necessity exception of the Human Life Protection Act. This brings the total reported under that exception to 91 beginning since July of 2022, the month following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in Dobbs.

No woman has died for lack of a life-saving exception. No doctor has faced prosecution by a DA, a lawsuit from the Attorney General, or sanction by the Texas Medical Board related to these cases.

At the same time, reported elective abortions have plummeted from thousands per month to zero, according to the same HHSC reports, as summarized here:

“Texas’ pro-life laws are saving babies’ lives from abortion and saving women’s lives in the rare and tragic cases of life-threatening pregnancy complications,” said Amy O’Donnell, Communications Director of Texas Alliance for Life. “We are pleased to see the law is protecting both women and babies as planned.”

In the midst of a contentious election year, Democrats are desperate to convince voters that protecting women and protecting unborn children are mutually exclusive. This was the purpose of last week’s U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions (HELP) hearing, “The Assault on Women’s Freedoms: How Abortion Bans Have Created a Health Care Nightmare Across America.”

Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) kicked off the meeting by implying that protecting children somehow harms mothers. “This morning, we will be holding a hearing to take a hard look at how this decision, the Dobbs decision, has impacted women,” he lamented.

Sanders was joined by Senator Patty Muray (D-Wash.), who also commented, “We take a close accounting of the trauma Republicans are inflicting on women and families across the country, and the damage they are doing to basic reproductive health care through their horrific anti-abortion crusade.

On June 12, the Massachusetts House is expected to vote on a bill that would allow mothers to exchange their children for money—that is, engage in baby-selling—under the name of “parentage equality.”

The “Parentage Equality” bill seeks to redefine parenthood. Parenthood is recognized on its natural biological basis, or in cases of adoption, justice for a child who has suffered loss by providing them with a safe, loving home. This bill redefines it on the basis of a “person’s intent to be a parent of a child.” In doing so, it strips all mention of mothers and fathers from parentage law, replacing these vital familial roles with gender-erased language.

Finally, and most concerning, under H.4672, Massachusetts would allow for commercial surrogacy both in cases wherein the woman carrying the child is genetically unrelated to the child and in cases where she is exchanging her biological child for money.

Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon has filed an emergency request to avoid reporting to prison on July 1 after he was sentenced in October 2022 because he defied a House Jan. 6 committee subpoena. The request was filed in a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C.

In order to justify his continued release, Bannon’s attorney cited his intention “to vigorously pursue his remaining appeals” in the case. Bannon is seeking a decision on his request by June 18, a week from now and less than two weeks before he’s scheduled to start his four-month prison stint.

According to the latest CBS News/YouGov poll, even Hispanics strongly favor deporting illegals back to wherever they came from.

The poll ” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>published on Sunday found that a majority over all, 62 percent, say they want deportations to begin.

Unsurprisingly, the large majority, 88 percent, of registered Republicans favor deportation. But even 60 percent of independents agree. Naturally, the anti-American Democrat Party is against it and only 38 percent of these unpatriotic creeps favor deportation of dangerous, useless, expensive illegals.

But one group might send shockwaves through the anti-American Democrats.

The anti-InfoWars jihad (read: anti-free speech jihad with Infowars as the outlier whipping boy to set the precedent that “conspiracy theory” is outside First Amendment protections) may finally be drawing to a conclusion.

Via Associated Press (emphasis added):

 

“Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is seeking court permission to convert his personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, which would lead to a sell-off of a large portion of his assets to help pay some of the $1.5 billion he owes relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
