Bragg’s ‘Indictment’ Even Fails as

It’s always possible to be surprised. The indictment brought by Manhattan’s elected Democratic district attorney Alvin Bragg against Donald Trump is even worse than I’d imagined. Bragg’s indictment fails to state a crime. Not once . . . but 34 times. On that ground alone, the case should be dismissed — before one ever gets to the facts that the statute of limitations has lapsed and that Bragg has no jurisdiction to enforce federal law (if that’s what he’s trying to do, which remains murky).

This isn't a legal proceeding, it's a political show intended to smear Trump with his "criminal" acts, not to mention his bedding (or not) porn stars and beauty queens, then paying them off for silence. It is the opening salvo in a war to keep him from the nomination in '24 and, should that fail, from the White House in November. The UNIPARTY isn't going to waste its '20 election fix investment. There are other potential indictments and personal accusations lined up behind this should it collapse. Now, let's see how the Master handles this.

This is all to distract us from Biden's crimes, Hunter's laptop, etc.. So far, it's working.

Affirmative Action Bragg, too stupid to even write an indictment. This is a media circus, not any sort of an actual legal proceeding. This mess needs to be tossed out with prejudice.

The crime that was committed by 45 was attempting to subdue the Deep State. The Deep State has not forgiven him. Al-Sharpton-Wannabe-Bragg did as he was ordered. Indict 45 and let the corrupt NY Justice system tie him up until the 2024 elections are over. McCarthy should haul his fat arse before the Congressional Justice committee. ASWB committed prosecutorial misconduct financed by federal $$$. Bragg is in violation of Federal Law.

Very excellent analysis. It's hard to believe that the dims have allowed such a nonentity to file this naked accusation of unspecified wrongdoing when the dims supposedly have slam dunk cases related to presidential records and something about something somewhere else.

Bragg is an Affirmative Action hire, doesn't actually have the brain power to pull off this fraud. No crimes in an "indictment "......means it isn't actually an indictment, just a bunch of foolish words. Will their crooked judge be so stupid as to go along, knowing that if they proceed, it will be tossed out eventually?

First, there doesn't have to be a crime to get a conviction. In fact, Trump has already been convicted. Bragg's hand pick uber-liberal, Trump hating judge will see Trump has a 'fair' trail and is convicted by a NYC jury. Any jury in NYC has already voted to convict any and all Republicans even before they know who the Rebublican is, much less Trump. The only thing Trump is assured will not happen is the death penalty since the NY Courts made it unconstitutional based on the NY state constitution. But I would put it pass the state of NY to pass an amendment specific to Trump authorizing the death penalty in his case.

Very much like Russia Collusion, House Impeachment 1 and 2. The process has no integrity and the key grounds for the actions are never articulated. Something important is always missing, with a wink and a nod that something big exists. Is Nanny, Nads and Schiff on Bragg's staff?

Nowhere in Bragg's background does it claim he is a Rhodes Scholar. Did he actually go to Harvard, or only receive his ''law degree'' from Harvard? Little did I know about the various law degrees until I fell into a next of lawyers. Apparently, this bunch prefers the term ''attorney at law.''

So the woke media, whose greatest fury at PDJT seemed to be his willingness to call them out for dishonest reporting, are using dishonest reporting to make everybody believe he's being indicted, when it's not a proper indictment. Just like they spent 4 years "impeaching" him without even finding an impeachable charge to prosecute. More succinctly, fake news about a fake indictment. Or par for the swampy course.

There seems little doubt that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump is imminent.(Snip)All that said, though, reports that Trump will be arrested on Tuesday are premature and probably inaccurate. They appear to have been generated by the former president himself and apparently are not based on discussions between the Trump camp and the DA’s office.

One of the funnier quirks of the Trump era is how closely the former president and his critics in the press mirror one another. From indulging in absolute gutter rhetoric to embracing rank illiberalism to promoting unhinged conspiracy theories, Trump and his press critics tend to have more in common than not. And right now, Trump and his media counterparts agree (albeit for slightly different reasons): Ron DeSantis is the worst.

Federal government interference has massively distorted American health care costs for decades. In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Joe Biden touted how the misnamed Inflation Adjustment Act (IRA) will further warp medical care costs by "finally giving Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices." The result is essentially putting price controls on prescription drugs. And price controls will do for prescription drugs what they do for all other products upon which they are imposed: create shortages, queues, black markets, and rationing.

On the menu today: As President Biden continues to misstate his own policies, it is a painful sign that the next president must be someone who has enough youth and energy to handle the pressures of the job.(Snip)The next president should not be in his seventies . . . or his eighties.

When Sen. Marco Rubio (R–Fla.) was seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, a local paper noted that he had "a long history speaking out against marijuana legalization." Given that history and the fact that Rubio's position is rejected by two-thirds of Americans, you might think he would be prepared to defend marijuana prohibition with cogent arguments. If so, you would be wrong.

The Hollywood version of our Christian America was created by Jews. A quick-start guide to the phenomenon is Superman. He, like Batman and the Marvel superheroes, was the creation of Jews banned from the Christian publishing world. (Snip) His birth world, Krypton, had been destroyed (read: the Holocaust). He came to America with superpowers “far beyond those of mortal men” (an intellect honed by constant study, if you will), and he was committed to doing good in his adopted country. But he could be valued only if he clothed his identity.

President Joe Biden so frequently and willfully tells lies about firearms that, if he were a podcaster talking about anything other than guns, aging rockers would trip over their walkers in a rush to sever even the most tenuous ties to him. Of course, we live in an age of misinformation and disinformation and probably should expect nothing better from the White House. But Biden proposes to impose ever-tougher rules based on his repetitive malarkey, illustrating the problem of governments wielding their vast regulatory apparatus based on misunderstandings and malice.

The first generation HPV vaccine cut cervical cancer rates among women by 87%, British researchers reported. The study published Wednesday in the journal The Lancet estimates that by mid-2019, there were 450 fewer cases of cervical cancer and 17,200 fewer cases of pre-cancers than expected in the vaccinated population. Researchers at Kings College London and the British government looked at population-based cancer registry data in the UK between January 2006 and June 2019 for seven groups of women, comparing those who were vaccinated to those who were not.

Former secretary of state under President Trump Mike Pompeo fired back at claims from the Biden administration that Trump constrained the conditions of the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan, during which 13 American soldiers died in a suicide bombing while protecting the Kabul airport, and untold numbers of Americans and Afghans eligible for evacuation were stranded. The White House on Thursday released its review of President Biden's fumbled 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan while Trump's indictment continues to dominate the headlines. The 12-page outline called the overall decision to end the 20-year war the right thing for America, but declined to acknowledge any mistakes made by Biden while instead repeatedly criticizing Trump's

Because of course… Despite the Biden White House having complete control over the issues and events during their withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which included the murder of 13 U.S. servicemen during a terrorist attack at the Kabul airport, the Biden administration has to blame Donald Trump. Pathetic doesn’t even begin to appropriately outline the issue, and even U.S. corporate media can see it. Without announcing the release in advance, the White House dropped an 11-page after action report [SEE HERE] claiming the prior administration was in control of all their decision making in the summer and fall of 2021.

Washington - The Supreme Court on Thursday denied West Virginia's request to let it fully enforce a state law that bans transgender women and girls from participating on public school sports teams consistent with their gender identity. In an unsigned order, the court denied West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's emergency request to let the state enforce the 2021 law. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, saying they would have granted the request. Earlier this year, a lower federal court ordered the state to temporarily stop halt the ban against Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old transgender girl who sued the state over the law shortly after its passage.

Blanket bans on transgender athletes participating on school sports teams consistent with their gender identity would constitute a violation of Title IX under a set of proposed changes unveiled Thursday by the Biden administration. Under the administration’s proposal, schools would be prohibited from adopting or applying a “one-size-fits-all” policy that categorically bans transgender students from participating on sports teams consistent with their gender identity. “Such bans fail to account for differences among students across grade and education levels,” the Education Department said Thursday in a news release. “They also fail to account for different levels of competition — including no-cut teams that let all students participate

Most recently Newsom traveled to Florida, ostensibly on grounds to note his supposed concern about kids allegedly not being taught “real history” (read: woke history).
