NYC Mayor Warns Protesters to ‘Be on
Your Best Behavior’ ahead of Trump Arraignment
Posted By: Dreadnought, 4/3/2023 2:05:23 PM
New York City mayor Eric Adams on Monday discouraged unruly political demonstration over the indictment of former president Trump, who is scheduled to be arraigned at the Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday. Addressing reporters at a press briefing, Adams warned prospective protesters that disorder and lawlessness will not be tolerated by the massive NYPD deployment that will be on-scene outside the courthouse in lower Manhattan as Trump arrives to be fingerprinted and photographed Tuesday morning. “Control yourselves. New York City is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. We are the safest large city in America because we respect the rule of law in New York City,”

The collapse of freedom in the Western world proceeds apace.
Misinformation boards. Government backdoors into social media companies. Bogus “fact checks” that promote outright falsehoods.
And now an arrest for being mean to Emmanuel Macron on Facebook. An actual arrest for calling him “filth.” You are likely aware of the raging protests in France over pension reforms. As much as I hate to admit it, I am with Macron on this issue. Raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 is hardly draconian given the increase in lifespans and the fiscal crises all pension programs face.
The protests have been “fiery but mostly peaceful,” as they say.
President Donald Trump Gives Fiery Speech

The speech given by former US President Donald Trump is one that is likely to generate mixed reactions. In the speech, Trump talked about a number of issues, including the many attacks against him and his administration, the state of the economy, and the potential for a nuclear war. Trump also touched on the raid on Mar-a-Lago, the Presidential Records Act, and the Espionage Act of 1917.
In a deft move, the former president used the indictment to further drive home the point that the left has been using the government to attack him politically. He accuses them of spying on his campaign, launching fraudulent investigations, and attempting to impeach
Though former President Donald Trump’s arraignment is undeniably and understandably the biggest news of the day in America, a huge political story is also playing out in North Carolina – and it’s one that, unlike the Trump news, has Democrats seething with rage, and calling for resignations.
As we previously reported, Rep. Tricia Cotham, who represents the 112th District in the North Carolina House, is set to announce on Wednesday that she is switching her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.
A former school teacher and principal, Cotham served as a Democrat in the state legislature from 2007 to 2017, and took time away from that before running
You can read Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump and a supporting statement of facts here. The indictment is what we expected. It all has to do with paying $130,000 to Stormy Daniels for a non-disclosure agreement, which was legal. The payment was made by “Lawyer A,” Michael Cohen. Trump reimbursed Cohen using Trump’s own money, which was legal. The “34 counts” arise out of the fact that by agreement, Cohen got reimbursed by sending monthly invoices to Trump or his revocable trust. So for each monthly bill from Cohen, we get three counts of falsifying documents: one for the invoice, one for the ledger entry,
Since there are lots of other, flashier items in the cycle today, I’ll do an economic round-up of dreariness. Maybe you won’t notice it and that way I can’t make anyone feel any worse.
In the banking sector, J.P. Morgan/Chase’s Jamie Dimon made some news with his annual letter to the bank’s shareholders. He was pretty downbeat, all things considered.
Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said industry turmoil sparked by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank last month is nothing like the 2008 financial crisis, but it will nonetheless have repercussions for years.
“Repercussions” is not a comforting word and lends itself to all sorts of “what ifs.”
In a historic election, the liberal judge Janet Protasiewicz is projected to win her race for a seat on Wisconsin’s supreme court. Her win will flip the ideological balance of the state’s highest court, which has been controlled by a conservative majority for 15 years.
Elections and democracy observers have called this election the most consequential one of the year, with abortion rights, redistricting and election rules at stake. The race pitted Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee circuit court judge and former prosecutor, against Dan Kelly, a former Wisconsin supreme court justice with ties to election deniers and the far right.
Protasiewicz will replace the conservative justice Patience Roggensack on 1 August;
Donald Trump has claimed he is the victim of election interference, as he condemned New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg for bringing criminal charges against him hours after his arraignment.
The former US president delivered an address to a crowd of some 500 people in his Mar-a-Lago estate ballroom in Florida after flying in from New York.
In his first comments since being charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records, the 76-year-old said he "never thought anything like this could happen in America".
"The only crime I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it," he said.

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 criminal charges against him in Manhattan criminal court Tuesday afternoon, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
Trump arrived at the Manhattan district attorney's office earlier Tuesday afternoon, where he was placed under arrest and in police custody before his upcoming arraignment.
The arraignment in the Manhattan courtroom Tuesday was quick and routine -- but represents a surreal and historic moment in US history. News outlets will not be able to broadcast the arraignment live, a judge said Monday night, rejecting a request from several media organizations,
Former President Trump has arrived at a Manhattan courthouse where he is set to appear Tuesday afternoon to be arraigned on criminal charges, a history-making event.
Supporters and critics of the former president began gathering outside the courthouse earlier in the day. Some anti-Trump protesters cheered as he walked into the building. A grand jury in New York voted to indict Trump in connection with his alleged role in hush money paid amid his 2016 presidential campaign to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her allegations of an affair, which Trump denies.
Trump is expected to return to Florida shortly after his arraignment, scheduled for 2:15 p.m.
Throngs of onlookers overwhelmed some of the former president's most vocal supporters Tuesday morning outside the lower Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump was scheduled to show hours later for his afternoon arraignment.
A morning "Rally for Trump" in support of the ex-president had been expected to draw numbers, including headlining speaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Republican lawmaker arrived amid the chaotic crowds of pro and anti-Trump supporters where she delivered brief remarks.
Shouting through a small handheld megaphone, Greene's message to Trump's supporters was essentially drowned out by the mess of crowds and media gathered outside. Security whisked her away a few minutes later.
What happens today when prosecutors book a former American president for the first time in our history? Nothing remarkable, Joe Tacopina told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos this morning. Donald Trump will get “processed the way anyone else would be, to a degree,” Trump’s lead attorney says, with the degree being that most defendants don’t have a Secret Service protection detail.
Stephanopoulos wonders whether Trump might plead down to a misdemeanor to get this off his plate. Not a chance, Tacopina says, and doubts whether this case will even survive long enough for such discussions:
BRUSSELS — Finland joined the NATO military alliance Tuesday, dealing a major blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a historic realignment of Europe’s post-Cold War security landscape triggered by Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Nordic country’s membership doubles Russia’s border with the world’s biggest security alliance. Finland had adopted neutrality after its defeat by the Soviets in World War II, but its leaders signaled they wanted to join NATO just months after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine sent a shiver of fear through its neighbors.
In praising Finland’s membership, U.S. President Joe Biden noted it came on the 74th anniversary of the signing of NATO’s founding treaty on April 4, 1949.

Jill Biden will lead the U.S. delegation to King Charles III’s coronation, representing America at the investiture of the new British monarch instead of President Joe Biden, who will not attend.

She will attend the May 6th ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, where coronations have taken place for nearly 1,000 years.

Rupert Murdoch and Ann Leslie Smith have called off their engagement, only two weeks after it was first announced. The 92-year-old media baron had proposed to the former dental hygienist, 66, with an 11-carat diamond ring thought to worth up to £2m just last month. The couple, who previously described their whirlwind romance as a 'gift from god', planned to wed this summer. But their engagement was abruptly called off today after the pair were said to have reluctantly come to 'mutual decision' after talks last night.
Renowned San Francisco drag performer Heklina was found dead Monday in London, England, where she was performing in a touring show, CBS Bay Area reported. The death of Heklina — also known as actor Stefan Grygelko — was first reported in social media posts by fellow drag artist and performing partner Peaches Christ (aka Joshua Grannell), with whom Heklina was touring in "Mommie Queerest," a musical parody of the 1981 Joan Crawford biopic "Mommie Dearest." "I am living in a real-life nightmare so forgive me if I don't have all the answers just now," read the message Grannell posted on both the
Hippocrates wrote, in Of the Epidemics, “The physician must…. have two special objects in view with regard to disease, namely, to do good or to do no harm.” (snip) The Texas Medical Board, however, does not see it that way. Because Dr. Eric Hensen of Palestine, Texas, did not universally force his ear-nose-and-throat patients to block their airways by masking, the TMB has suspended his medical license. So, the medical tyranny of the TMB continues. (Earlier this month, the TMB declared war on Dr. Mary Talley Bowden for prescribing Ivermectin off-label.)

Chicago voters will go to the polls on Tuesday to choose their next mayor with the out-of-control crime rate uppermost in their minds. Former Chicago public schools CEO Paul Vallas and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson offer two different visions for the voters — and two different versions of reality.
Both men are Democrats and men of the left. But there are stark contrasts that separate the candidates and give the voters a clear choice.
Vallas portrays himself as a hard-headed realist. He believes that without public order, the rest of his agenda won’t matter that much. He wants to rebuild the Chicago Police Department and not just in manpower.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said in a written statement on Tuesday that Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg is setting a “dangerous precedent” by criminalizing a political opponent.
Romney, who is no fan of Trump, said in reaction to the indictment of Trump:I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office. Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda. No one is above the law, not even former presidents, but everyone is entitled to equal treatment under the law.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly asked Judge Juan Marchan to hold the trial of former President Donald Trump in January 2024, which happens to be the middle of the presidential primary season.
Fox News reporter Jake Gibson, who was in the courtroom, said that prosecutors had asked for the January 2024 trial date. The Iowa caucuses — the first contest in the Republican primary — will be on February 5, 2024.That means prosecutors want a trial that would undoubtedly affect the race for the Republican nomination, both by distracting the current frontrunner, and by tarnishing him relative to other candidates in the race.
This weekend, Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA) and Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher. When Maher asked them about President Trump’s indictment, both skirted the topic.
Sears said they hadn’t seen the charges and didn't comment any further. Sununu called the indictment a circus but immediately proceeded to attack Trump, claiming he didn’t think Trump will be the GOP nominee in 2024 and that Trump can’t win the general election. `Maher’s show was a great opportunity for Sears and Sununu to explain Democrat voters how Trump is being targeted, but alas it was squandered as they opted to sit on the fence.
