Donald Trump fined $5,000 for violating
gag order in New York fraud trial and
warned twice about imprisonment
Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/20/2023 4:10:44 PM
Former President Donald Trump was fined $5,000 by a New York judge on Friday for violating a gag order not to speak about any members of the court staff – and was warned twice about possible imprisonment. “Donald Trump has received ample warning from this Court as to the possible repercussions of violating the gag order. He specifically acknowledged that he understood and would abide by it,” Judge Arthur Engoron said in his order Friday. “Accordingly, issuing yet another warning is not longer appropriate; this Court is way behind the ‘warning’ stage.”

Joe Biden is at his Delaware beach house this weekend on yet another one of his vacations, as everything is imploding in the Middle East.
You would think he didn't have a care in the world as he shuffled along the beach with his wife. Not only do you have the Israeli-Hamas war. You have Americans being held hostage in Gaza, along with Israelis. You also have multiple U.S. bases/positions under attack over the past several days. The U.S. disclosed some of that on Thursday regarding an attack in Iraq. But Biden didn't even mention it in his big speech on Thursday, where he was trying to sell
Statistics Norway, the government agency that produces official statistics for that country, released a report last month titled “To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions?” The report concludes:
[T]he results imply that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be sufficiently strong to cause systematic changes in the pattern of the temperature fluctuations. In other words, our analysis indicates that with the current level of knowledge, it seems impossible to determine how much of the temperature increase is due to emissions of CO2.
With a single tweet, Chamath Palihapitiya, the CEO of Social Capital, recently became the provocative main character of the day on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Palihapitiya sent out a screenshot of a Bloomberg article based on how six southern states had contributed more to U.S. gross domestic product than the northeast corridor of Washington-New York-Boston for the first time in history. But it was his accompanying caption that sparked hot debate: “Go woke, go broke,” he said, implying that the ongoing culture war and economic policies of northeastern states had facilitated the migration of wealth and economic power to the South.

A leaked audio recording is causing trouble for Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee after it showed her viciously verbally abusing a staffer.
Lee, who is currently running to become the Mayor of Houston, one of America's largest cities, is heard on the recording berating the staffer over what sounds like a calendar issue. The language used is very adult-only, to say the least, and as you'll hear, it goes far beyond what anyone should consider normal or acceptable. Here's the transcript provided by the above post.

As the war launched by brutal Hamas terrorists on Israel rages on, the violence is spreading—including to London, where anti-Semitic crimes exploded like a Hamas rocket hitting a Gaza hospital. Turns out Western countries were importing the next potential Holocaust through policies welcoming hundreds of thousands or even millions of violent Muslim men.
Since the beginning of October, anti-Semitic crimes have shot up a stunning 1,350% in London, Breitbart reported on Oct. 21. The statistics were released before a large pro-Palestinian London protest. Unfortunately, the London police were only able to make 21 arrests. That is less than seven percent of cases where an arrest was made! How many

Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet, has created a new unit, “Nili,” whose mission is to find and kill every single individual who participated in the Hamas terror attack on October 7, which saw over 1,400 Israelis murdered.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
In Israel’s ongoing effort to track down all those involved in the brutal terrorist attack that left more than 1,400 victims, the Shin Bet has established a new unit named Nili, an acronym in Hebrew that translates as “The Eternity of Israel Will Not Lie”.
This unit is dedicated to hunting down and eliminating every individual

The White House has issued a statement from US President Joe Biden on the release of the two American hostages released by Hamas earlier this evening.
“Today, we have secured the release of two Americans taken hostage by Hamas during the horrific terrorist assault against Israel on October 7,” Biden says.
“Our fellow citizens have endured a terrible ordeal these past 14 days, and I am overjoyed that they will soon be reunited with their family, who has been wracked with fear,” he says.
“These individuals and their family will have the full support of the United States government as they recover and heal,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday thanked U.S. President Joe Biden for the prospect of a new multi-billion dollar aid package from Washington.
Biden, in a rare address from the Oval Office on Thursday night, said he would be asking Congress for a new round of funding for Ukraine as part of a larger request that also includes aid to Israel.
U.S. media reported that Biden would ask for 100 billion U.S. dollars in total, about 60 billion U.S. dollars of which was designated for Ukraine. The White House said details on the proposal would be made public on Friday – but whether it can get through the deeply dysfunctional U.S. Congress
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) declared that Biden’s $100B aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and domestic security is dead on arrival in the Senate.
Cotton calls it a slush fund and he’s not wrong. The largest disbursement would go to Ukraine. The aid package includes $60B for Ukraine, $14B for Israel, and $14B for the southern border. There is $7.4B for Taiwan and allies in the Indo-Pacific, and $10B for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza. As you see, the amount allocated to Ukraine is disproportionally larger than anything else.
The senator called out the $11.8B for Ukraine, for example, that is included for Ukraine’s “non-war spending”
In an unprecedented scene, a Saudi Arabian reporter grilled the leader of Hamas, Khaled Mashal, on Friday.
Mashal, who lives in the lap of luxury in Qatar while demanding women and children sacrifice themselves for him, was quite obviously caught off guard by the line of questioning. You can see him get visibly angry at times, perhaps due to an expectation that he'd be allowed to spew his normal talking points without any pushback.
The video is obviously in Arabic but is subtitled throughout. The pressure in the interview starts immediately, with a question about Hamas launching its new war against Israel without any backing from other Palestinian groups or Arab
The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case in Washington agreed Friday to temporarily lift her narrow gag order. The ruling gives Trump’s lawyers time to prove why the former president’s comments should not be restricted as the case heads toward trial.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said the gag order would remain on hold — for now — while she considers Trump’s bid to speak freely about the case as he challenges the restrictions in higher courts.
The gag order Chutkan issued Monday barred him from making public statements targeting prosecutors, court staff and potential witnesses. It’s the most serious restriction a court has placed on Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric,

With the Middle East blowing up, with Americans being killed and held hostage, and U.S. forces under attack, you would think maybe that would be taking up all of Joe Biden's time on Friday.
Instead, Biden had a summit meeting with EU leaders where he had trouble with his notes and told a wild story about his Uncle Frank, then attended a campaign fundraiser before he headed off to the beach for yet another weekend vacation.
But he wasn't quite done with the bad remarks for the day before he hit the beach. Reporters in attendance at the fundraiser reported on those remarks. Biden said that "the Saudis

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said on Sunday she would not rule out a presidential run.
“No, I’m not,” Cheney said after being asked by anchor Jake Tapper in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Moments earlier, Tapper pressed Cheney on whether she would vote for President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump. (X Video) “We’re going to see what happens. We’re going to see how things unfold,” Cheney said.
Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, called Trump a “threat” and said she would “imagine that there will be a number of other candidates in the race.”

Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence said Sunday he would send troops into the Gaza Strip to free American hostages from the grips of Hamas if he were in the White House.
“We’ve got Americans being held by bloodthirsty terrorists in Gaza, and if I was president of the United States, I would have directed the Joint Special Operations Command to stand up Delta Force, to stand up the Navy SEALs, who do the best hostage rescues in the world,” the former vice president said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

According to recent polling by the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, nearly half of President Joe Biden’s supporters believe the government should clamp down on objectionable speech.
That’s right, among individuals intending to vote for Biden in 2024, 47% think “the government should regulate or restrict the expression of views considered discriminatory or offensive.”
Considered “discriminatory or offensive” by whom, exactly?
Sadly, the results weren’t a whole lot different for supporters of Donald Trump, 35% of whom purport to believe the government should exercise this control.
Fools, all.
Come to think of it, I find the poll and this report offensive, so I want government to regulate them.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” --Marcus Tullius Cicero

Gingrich appeared on Fox News Sunday to provide an analysis of the Republican Party's plight in finding a new leader in the only chamber it currently holds a majority.

"Somebody like Elise Stefanik or Beth Van Duyne, who had been a mayor of a city before becoming a congresswoman."

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said the spell of disorder gripping the House of Representatives as her party fails to elect a new speaker, essentially stalling business in Congress, "is a direct result" of Kevin McCarthy's alliance with former President Donald Trump.
"I think what you're seeing right now and among the Republicans in the House is a direct result of the decisions that Kevin McCarthy made to embrace Donald Trump, to embrace the most radical and extreme members of our party, that elevate them," said Cheney during an appearance on "Face the Nation" Sunday.
