Is New York City in 2024 Better or Worse Than Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692?

Posted on Comments

There was less crime in colonial Salem than in Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan, and certainly more justice than Donald Trump is likely to get with Judge Juan M. Merchan presiding over this 21st-century witchcraft trial. Bragg’s theory of the case is that Trump STOLE THE ELECTION from Hillary Clinton in 2016 by arranging for a “hush money” payment to keep Stephanie Gregory (a/k/a “Stormy Daniels”) from telling the world about her “affair” with Trump (which, I feel pretty certain, never happened).

Trump was the victim of an extortion scheme, and “Stormy Daniels” was the perpetrator (or, at least, she was a willing participant in an extortion conspiracy against Trump), but rather than punish the blackmailers, instead Bragg is persecuting Trump, the victim of this crime. A year ago, the House Judiciary Committee sent Bragg a letter:

The New York County District Attorney’s Office has been investigating President Trump since at least 2018, looking for some legal theory on which to bring charges. The facts surrounding the impending indictment have “been known for years.” Michael Cohen, President Trump’s disgraced former lawyer, pleaded guilty over four years ago to charges based on the same facts at issue in the impending indictment. By July 2019, however, federal prosecutors determined that no additional people would be charged alongside Cohen. Now, in the words of one legal scholar, you are attempting to “shoehorn” the same case with identical facts into a new prosecution, resurrecting a so-called “zombie” case against President Trump. Even the Washington Post quoted “legal experts” as calling your actions “unusual” because “prosecutors have repeatedly examined the long-established details but decided not to pursue charges.”

Everybody knows Bragg’s case is bogus, including Bragg.

Bragg and Judge Merchan are both Democrats, and this bogus prosecution is simply the latest Democratic Party operation intended to extend to the entire United States the totalitarian one-party government that exists in New York, by criminalizing opposition. When they talk about “our democracy,” this is what they mean — in “our democracy,” there can be no effective opposition, and never a chance that a Democrat could lose an election. If you express doubt that Joe Biden really got 81 million votes, you’re an “election denier” — a dangerous extremist — and the candidate you voted for will be sent to prison, just to stop you from voting for him again. Alvin Bragg is going to convict Trump of a felony, even if he has to solicit “spectral evidence” to do it.

Is It Panic Time for Democrats Yet?

Posted on

Seven months is a long time in politics. Anything could happen between now and Election Day. Even if you’re not worried about another “plandemic” (and I’ll let everyone be their own judge of what constitutes sufficient paranoia), it is not safe to presume that the political situation as it looks in April will be anything like the situation in November. Having offered that caveat, OH BOY DO THINGS LOOK BAD FOR BIDEN!

Democrats with deep knowledge of the Biden campaign acknowledged former President Donald Trump’s significant chances of completing the greatest political comeback in American history. . . .
Democrat fundraiser John Morgan said his party is “prepared to lose” the presidential election to Trump. Morgan, a very successful lawyer from Central Florida, added he is nervous about President Joe Biden’s current political position.
“As my great-grandfather used to say, ‘I’m as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.’ Yes, hell yes,” Morgan told the Washington Post. “We all know this is a jump ball,” he said.

It’s a “jump ball,” but their guy can barely walk. Biden’s poll numbers are catastrophic. Look at the job approval numbers: Biden is hovering around 41%, and compare that to where Trump was four years ago — 46.9% on April 4, 2020. Biden is also below where Obama was in Aoril 2012 (47.8%) and where Bush was in April 2004 (48.8%). Which is to say, Biden is historically unpopular. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a winner, by comparison. Now look at the horse-race number: Trump leads by about 1 point — a statistical dead heat. Except compare that to where the race stood four years ago, in April 2020, when Biden was up 5.9 points. Which is to say, there’s been a 7-point swing toward Trump. In the end, of course, Biden’s margin in the popular vote was 4.5 points, but if the same pattern holds true this year (i.e., if there is the same ratio between April RCP average and the final election result), then Trump would win by a margin of more than two points nationally. And what about the battleground states?

Former President Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager, James Carville, is also worried about Trump’s strong position. In six of the seven top swing states, Trump leads Biden, reversing Biden’s 2020 success in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona, a Wall Street Journal poll found Tuesday. Trump also holds sizable leads over Biden in six out of eight issues polled by the Journal.

As Professor Reynolds always says, “Don’t get cocky,” but as things look now, Trump could win this thing in a November landslide.

The Leticia James Fraud

Posted on

How shall I phrase this? To hell with New York.

To hell with Leticia James and every one of the 3,739,239 New Yorkers who voted to elect her as their state’s attorney general in 2018.

These are bad people, and New York is a bad state. If it is your misfortune to reside in New York — well, why? Aren’t you ashamed? Have you no concern for your own safety and reputation? Why would you want to be associated with such a miserable place, governed by such wicked people?

In February, Joel Pollak summarized this travesty of “justice”:

New York Attorney General Letitia James welcomed Judge Arthur Engoron’s staggering $354 million fine against Donald Trump on Friday by declaring at a news conference: “Everyone must play by the same rules.”
But a review of 70 years of legal history by the Associated Press showed no precedent whatsoever for suing an entrepreneur or business for allegedly inflating real estate values when there was no victim that suffered any damage.
Indeed, the record suggests that James held Trump to different rules.
To recap:
Letitia James ran for Attorney General in 2018 calling Trump an “illegitimate” president and vowing to use the law to pursue him. She then sued Trump and his three grown children for civil fraud, right before the midterm elections, which were hotly contested in New York. She alleged that Trump had exaggerated his personal wealth and the value of his real estate holdings when applying for loans from banks. In so doing, she claimed, Trump violated a New York fraud statute that did not require intent, or harm.
There were no victims: the banks did their own due diligence before lending to Trump, who paid all of the loans back, on time. There was no evidence that Trump intended to mislead anyone; loan applicants frequently overestimate their assets’ values.
Nevertheless, Engoron — a registered Democrat — issued a summary judgment finding Trump liable for fraud before Trump had any opportunity to present any evidence in his own defense. The trial then proceeded to a determination of the penalty owed.
James not only wanted to slap Trump with hundreds of millions of dollars in fines; she also wanted to ban him from doing any business in the state in future, and wanted to take away control of his existing businesses and place them in receivership custody.
The Associated Press reported in January that there was no precedent for New York law being used — or abused — in this way . . .

Keep in mind, New Yorkers voted to reelect James in 2022 after she brought this unprecedented action against Trump. The people of New York own this; they have endorsed and ratified it, and they are responsible for the as-yet-unforeseen consequences.

What might those consequences be? Today is the day that Trump must either post a bond of nearly half a billion dollars to pursue an appeal, or let Leticia James seize his assets in New York to satisfy the unprecedented fine imposed by Judge Engoron. It has been suggested that letting James seize Trump Tower might better suit Trump’s purposes, since this action — so obviously the result of a partisan vendetta by Democrats — would enrage and motivate Trump’s supporters. One could easily imagine the attack ads featuring the faces of Leticia James, Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis, asking voters: “Do you think you’re safe from these people?” Trump could win by a landslide.

The thing about fools is, they never heed warnings, so there’s no point trying to warn Democrats that their persecution of Trump could yield very bad consequences for them. Let them find out on their own.

‘If You Experience an Erection Lasting More Than Four Hours …’

Posted on

. . . blame the latest New York Times poll:

Are you pumped, or what? There hasn’t been this much sorrow among Democrats since Hillary Clinton cratered in 2016:

“It’s going to be a very tough decision — I’m seriously thinking about not voting,” said Mamta Misra, 57, a Democrat and an economics professor in Lafayette, La., who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. “Trump voters are going to come out no matter what. For Democrats, it’s going to be bad. I don’t know why they’re not thinking of someone else.” . . .
An excitement gap between the two parties shows up repeatedly in the survey: Only 23 percent of Democratic primary voters said they were enthusiastic about Mr. Biden — half the share of Republicans who said they were about Mr. Trump. Significantly more Democrats said they were either dissatisfied or angry at Mr. Biden being the leader of the party (32 percent) than Republicans who said the same about Mr. Trump (18 percent).

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear, New York Times!

Whenever I see polls like this, I have to wonder, who are the 43% who think America needs another four years of Joe Biden? Are they just sadists, who take pleasure in ruining life for everybody else? But such mysteries can’t spoil my joy at seeing the New York Times admit that Biden is losing by a 5-point margin. And speaking of joyful news:

CNN Appears on the Verge
of an Epic Collapse

There’s talk that the last-place cable-news network may decide to fire its top anchors. Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper — fired! fired! fired! Wait a minute, what is this sudden spasm I’m feeling?

Ah . . . was it good for you? After all that excitement, it’s time to remind you of the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

CNN: The Stupidity Caucus

Posted on

The late George Carlin used to say, you know how stupid the average guy is? Well, half the people are dumber than that. This crossed my mind because CNN — I watch CNN so you don’t have to — was hyping up this Quinnipiac University poll claiming that (a) Biden is leading Trump 50% to 44%, and (b) Nikki Haley would beat Biden, 47% to 42%.

Of course, you don’t believe that any more than I believe it and, quite frankly, I don’t think the people at CNN believe it either, but the point is that they think the CNN audience will believe it, and who can say they’re wrong? The CNN audience is composed of the kind of people who would vote to elect Fani Willis as their district attorney.

Here’s an important fact: Quinnipiac polls are garbage.

In August 2016, they had Hillary Clinton beating Trump by 10 points:

“We are starting to hear the faint rumblings of a Hillary Clinton landslide as her 10-point lead is further proof that Donald Trump is in a downward spiral as the clock ticks,” Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

LOL. If you’re the kind of person who pays attention to such things, you know Quinnipiac’s had a very bad track record in recent years, but if you’re a CNN viewer — the kind who’s dumber than the average guy — then you might actually be fooled when your news network of choice tells you that Joe Biden is beating Trump and that Nikki Haley would be a better candidate for Republicans. Here’s something else the average CNN viewer probably doesn’t realize: The Republican primary campaign is over. Trump wins, period, and there’s not much point paying attention to whatever Nikki Haley says or does between now and the moment she finally admits defeat. You know this. I know this. It’s simply a fact.

In fact, it’s been clear for months that Trump would be the Republican nominee. This is why Trump never bothered showing up for the TV debates with his putative rivals. There was never any real possibility that the various occupants of the debate stage would pose a significant threat to Trump’s solid grip on the Republican grassroots. However much you might admire Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, et al., they never stood a chance, and neither does Nikki Haley. She’s going to get stomped in the Nevada caucuses, then get stomped again in the South Carolina primary, and whatever happens after that is just a question of how much stomping she can endure. Because that’s what Trump will do — stomp, stomp, stomp — in every primary and caucus from here on out. New Hampshire was Haley’s best shot at actually winning a primary, and Trump beat her by double-digits there, so where can she realistically expect to stage an upset? Answer: Nowhere. Stick a fork in her, she’s done.

By pretending that Haley is still a viable candidate, CNN shows how reliant they are on the stupidity of their audience. They’re trying to monopolize the IQ-below-room-temperature viewers.

They’re getting beat by The Hallmark Channel:

Ratings-challenged CNN’s total viewership in prime time last week lagged behind the History Channel and an obscure cable network — founded by televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker — that plays Western TV shows and films, according to the latest figures released by Nielsen.
The “most trusted name in news” — which recently hired former New York Times and BBC boss Mark Thompson as its CEO — had an average of 538,000 nightly viewers in the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. block during the seven-day period from Jan. 15 until Jan. 21, according to the most recent data compiled by Nielsen.
The weak ratings were generated despite coverage of the Iowa caucus, which saw former President Donald Trump easily rout GOP contenders in his bid to regain the White House.
CNN not only finished behind rivals Fox and MSNBC, but was the 10th most-watched channel on cable, getting beat by Hallmark, The History Channel and INSP, a South Carolina-based channel founded in the late 1970s by the Christian televangelists.

LOL.

The ‘Law & Order: SVU’ Plot Line and the Wicked Travesty of ‘Justice’ in New York

Posted on

I watch CNN (so you don’t have to) and they were practically peeing their pants in excitement Friday over the jury’s verdict in the ridiculous defamation suit against Trump. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I was enraged by this, and perhaps for personal reasons, considering my own experience with bogus lawsuits (“Sue Me Again, You Evil Liar”).

Here’s the thing: In 2019, E. Jean Carroll, a former sex-advice columnist, made a literally incredible accusation against Trump, which no reasonable person could possibly believe. This was all about selling a book (What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal), and the story was completely implausible: Carroll claims that in 1995 or 1996, she just happened to bump into Trump while he was walking into the Bergdorf Goodman department store on Fifth Avenue. This chance encounter eventually led to him sexually assaulting her in a dressing room, she said. To which any reasonable person would reply, “Are you kidding me?”

World-famous real estate mogul just happens to be out doing some shopping — by himself, walking down Fifth Avenue, he decides to pop into Bergdorf Goodman — when he randomly encounters a sex-advice columnist, asks her advice on his gift purchases, then takes her into a dressing room and rapes her. Did I mention (because it certainly seems relevant to me) that, at the time of this alleged incident, E. Jean Carroll was 53 years old? What adjective should I use here? Mere words cannot express the extremity of my doubt toward the claim that Trump, whose three wives were all models and younger than him, would be accosting this woman, who was three years his senior. And that he would have done this while out shopping at Bergdorf Goodman!

After Carroll went public with this preposterous claim — which, I repeat, was part of the promotion for her 2019 book — it was pointed out that this tale of being raped in a Bergdorf Goodman’s dressing room was suspiciously similar to the plot of a 2012 episode of Law & Order: SVU.

To me, that was the definitive proof that Carroll was lying. First, there was the implausible scenario of her just happening to bump into Trump who, despite his wealth and notoriety, was allegedly strolling down Fifth Avenue when he headed into this department store to do some shopping. Right, and Al Pacino sodomized me in the bargain basement at Filene’s — you get my drift here? But then there was the problematic fact (which I hesitate to point out for fear of offending Women of a Certain Age™) that at the time of this alleged encounter, E. Jean Carroll was long past her prime. She had been a cheerleader and beauty pageant contestant in her youth, but at age 53? To quote our President: “C’mon, man.”

That was two strikes against Carroll’s veracity, but when we learn that her tale repeats the plot of a primetime TV drama? Three strikes.

You may notice, by the way, the less-than-coincidental resemblance between Carroll’s story and what happened to Brett Kavanaugh (“Democrats Pull the Sleaziest Smear in Their Long History of Sleazy Smears”). Come up with a story of a heinous sex crime committed decades earlier by the targeted person (who, just coincidentally, happens to be someone that Democrats are desperate to destroy) and then pretend that the mere accusation is sufficient to conclude that the person must be guilty. No matter how preposterous the claim may be, the media will automatically defend the accuser: “Oh, it takes so much courage for the survivor of such a traumatic incident to come forward and tell the truth!”

Christine Blasey Ford got this Courageous Survivor™ treatment. Anyone who doubted her unsubstantiated slander was accused of being a misogynistic rape apologist, and let’s not even get started on how the media tried to drag Kavanaugh’s high school buddy Mark Judge into this orchestrated partisan smear. If someone in the media establishment ever asks why nobody trusts them anymore, just tell them to ask Mark Judge.

The problem, as it regards the verdict against Trump, is that there is no justice in New York. The entire state has become a latter-day Gomorrah, a Third World hellhole where no honest man would dwell. In May 2022, the state’s Democrat-controlled legislature passed the Adult Survivors Act, which allowed “alleged victims of sexual offenses for which the statute of limitations has lapsed to file civil suits for a one-year period, from November 24, 2022, to November 24, 2023″ (emphasis added). Do you think the passage of this law was entirely coincidental?

Creating a one-year window, waiving the statute of limitations for one specific type of lawsuit? Gosh, I wonder if the Democrats who control the New York legislature might have had a certain lifelong New Yorker in mind? But that’s just a crazy conspiracy theory, I guess.

Returning to the narrative, after Carroll went public with her story lifted from the plot of an NBC primetime drama, Trump naturally called her a liar and she then sued him for defamation. How crazy is this? You accuse somebody of rape, and when they deny it, you claim that their denial is tortuous defamation! This lawsuit lingered until after Trump left the White House, and the Democrats in New York then (coincidentally) waived the statute of limitation for sexual assault lawsuits, then Carroll sued under that law and — because it’s New York — in May 2023 a jury agreed Trump was guilty of assaulting her. After the verdict, Trump continued to assert his innocence, which is what led to the jury awarding Carroll $83 million (!!!) for defamation in Friday’s verdict.

Did I mention that in 2016, Hillary Clinton got 87% of the vote in Manhattan? Because I think that fully explains this Manhattan jury’s verdict. It’s pure partisan political vengeance and yet the idiot talking heads on CNN were calling the verdict a triumph for “the rule of law,” which is the insult that sent me into a towering rage that not even a thousand-word rant is sufficient to quell. The only way I can get this out of my system is to pronounce judgment on the State of New York, to issue a dire prophecy of apocalyptic doom. Very bad things are going to happen to New York, and if there are still any truly innocent people living there, I feel an obligation to warn them to leave as soon as possible. Every citizen of New York is complicit in the manifest evil of this travesty of justice, so that when the Divine Wrath comes pouring down upon you, there can be no appeal to mercy. None shall escape this retribution. Migrant hordes, mass shootings, fentanyl overdoses, subway crashes, bridge collapses, natural catastrophes — when these plagues befall you, New Yorkers, do not expect any sympathy from the rest of America.

Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin — “You are weighed in the balance and found wanting,” and the eternal destruction of Hell awaits you.

Big Trouble for Fulton County D.A.

Posted on

If anyone in the Atlanta area saw a mushroom cloud Monday, don’t be alarmed. It was just the RICO case against Trump exploding:

District Attorney Fani Willis improperly hired an alleged romantic partner to prosecute Donald Trump and financially benefited from their relationship, according to a court motion filed Monday which argued the criminal charges in the case were unconstitutional.
The bombshell public filing alleged that special prosecutor Nathan Wade, a private attorney, paid for lavish vacations he took with Willis using the Fulton County funds his law firm received. County records show that Wade, who has played a prominent role in the election interference case, has been paid nearly $654,000 in legal fees since January 2022. The DA authorizes his compensation.
The motion, filed on behalf of defendant Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign official, seeks to have the charges against Roman dismissed and for Willis, Wade and the entire DA’s office to be disqualified from further prosecution of the case. . . .
Roman’s lawyer, Ashleigh Merchant, said she reviewed the case file in Wade’s ongoing divorce proceedings at the Superior Court Clerk’s Office and made copies of certain documents. But the case file was later improperly sealed because no court hearing was held as required by law, the motion said. . . .
The filing alleges that Willis and Wade have been involved in a romantic relationship that began before Wade was appointed special prosecutor. It says they traveled together to Napa Valley and Florida, and they cruised the Caribbean together using tickets Wade purchased from Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise lines — although the filing did not include documentation of those purchases.
The motion said the checks sent to Wade from Fulton County and his subsequent purchase of vacations for Willis could amount to honest services fraud, a federal crime in which a vendor gives kickbacks to an employer. It is also possible this could be prosecuted under the federal racketeering statute, the motion said. . . .
Willis and Wade, the motion contends, “have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.”
A problem with Wade’s appointment is that it was not approved by the Fulton board of commissioners as required by law, the motion said. The motion also questions Wade’s credentials, contending he has never prosecuted a felony case. . . .
Wade entered into his special prosecutor contract on Nov. 1, 2021, just one day before he filed for divorce in Cobb County, the motion said.

Do you remember the media hype around this Atlanta grand jury indictment? Do you remember how excited liberals were that a BLACK WOMAN was going to be prosecuting Trump? Oh, symbolic justice!

Sensible people, including attorneys of vast experience, looked at this case and saw a lot of obvious problems. Like, RICO? Are you kidding me with this? A presidential campaign trying to win a disputed election result is racketeering? All of these common-sense objections to the Fulton County case were ignored by the national media who were certain — as they had often claimed before — that this time, the “walls were closing in” on Trump. Because a BLACK WOMAN was prosecuting him!

Well, that’s really working out great for them, huh? Not only is this revelation about Willis and Wade’s “improper relationship” likely to cause the RICO prosecution to be abandoned, but it bids fair to get Willis driven out of office, disbarred and perhaps even sent to federal prison.

Has irony ever been more delicious?



 

Do Bananas Grow in Colorado?

Posted on

Is it a crime to vote Republican? Is it illegal to disagree with liberals? Will all opposition to the Biden regime be banned?

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a 4-3 opinion that the Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” prohibits former President Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot for the presidency in 2024.
“The court found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three” of the Fourteenth Amendment, the ruling reads.
The provocative ruling partially reverses a prior ruling from Colorado District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, who ruled in November that Trump is not an officer of the United States as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment and that the Amendment therefore cannot be used to disqualify him from appearing on the Colorado primary ballot.
In his dissent, Chief Justice Boatright wrote, “Dismissal is particularly appropriate here because the Electors brought their challenge without a determination from a proceeding (e.g., a prosecution for an insurrection-related offense) with more rigorous procedures to ensure adequate due process.”
In partially reversing Wallace, the Court all but dared the U.S. Supreme Court to step in by January 4, 2024.
“If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court,” the ruling says.\
The Court disagreed with Trump’s claims that his actions were protected free speech.
“We consider and reject President Trump’s argument that his speech on January 6 was protected by the First Amendment,” the ruling reads, seemingly ignoring Trump’s calls that day for protesters to conduct themselves “peacefully and patriotically.”

ThoughtCrimes! WrongSpeak! Trump is Emmanuel Goldstein!
