We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives   Ed Driscoll has this to say about the NYTImes story.  

Judge Merchan and his daughter: A million-dollar business at Trump’s expense. ““I want to see the bank records because money doesn’t lie,” Patel said. “How much of the over $15 million that Authentic Campaigns, Merchan’s daughter’s company, earned came into the family after this sham conviction?”

 DOJ DROPS PROBE OF SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION: Did you hear the Department of Justice (DOJ) has dropped its Biden administration-initiated investigation “Probably not, but the fact is, as reported by guest author Jon Whitehead on the Rod Martin Report, no charges were filed after a lengthy investigation that cost the SBC as much as $20 million just in legal fees. The investigation was yet another illustration of the Left’s costly, time-consuming and often-libelous Lawfare.”

Trump Makes Huge Announcement About FBI’s Future, and It’s a Fantastic Gut Punch to the Old Guard  “The imaginary headline of this story could read, “Former Director Chris Wray Most Hurt by Trump’s New FBI Plan.” Wray was rewarded a new headquarters during the first Trump administration, though he spied on Trump, paid informants to go to the J6 breach, deployed assets to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach and lied about it, approved of the Mar-a-Lago raid, and investigated Trump for election interference—allegations that never panned out and seemed to be part of a concerted effort by the Old Guard to do everything possible to destroy Trump’s reputation. He lied about it all to Congress.”

No, the House Should Not Impeach Judge Boasberg Over His Tren de Aragua Restraining Order

Do We Have 677 Unelected Presidents?  “Last month alone, district court judges issued 15 temporary restraining orders. “That’s more nationwide injunctions than there were issued for the first three YEARS of the Biden Administration. District court judges are out of control.“   

This Video of Obama Talking About Making ‘Tough Decisions’ on Government Waste Sounds Just Like Trump “”Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions. And that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about,” Obama explains. ¶ “But what should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn’t benefit anybody. Waste we should be getting rid of even if we didn’t have a deficit.”  That was then, this is now and Trump says it so it is wrong.

I know I keep starting this with how fast big news is happening.  It is TRUE! I read everyday and save for later but soon they add up to an overwhelming number of links, so I have to cull and decide what you have or haven’t already heard too much about.  Zelensky anyone?  What a small minded little man. He has been listening to his minders and seems to believe his own publicity. It is as if someone has been sending you nice fat checks every week for years and then comes to you and demands you increase the amount of the checks.
