The legal team of former President Donald Trump is set to challenge the ridiculous $83.3 million jury verdict in the defamation case brought by nutcase E. Jean Carroll. The basis of their appeal, as revealed to The New York Post, hinges on an alleged “conflict of interest” involving Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, expressed shock upon learning that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s.

I noticed this line: ''If immunity is not granted to a president, every president that leaves office will be immediately indicted by the opposing party...'" That's a lame argument. Instead they should say: ''If immunity is not granted to a president, Barack Obama will face prosecution for drone attacks on American citizens.

Such an appearance of bias should be grounds for unanimous reversal on appeal, but it likely won't. It will have to go to the Supreme Court and may be 6-3 or 5-4, because the law doesn't matter to Dims.

So a criminal act that took place ? (1994, 1995, or 1996) is being litigated in a civil court case? The other thing that I am concerned with is how this was handled with the New York justice system; the statute of limitations ran out but somehow this situation was grandfathered into a new law?

(In Mister Roger's voice intonation) "Can you say 'collusion'"?? This term was bandied about as if it mean 'conspiracy' to try to 'get' President Trump in two failed impeachments when there was no evidence and a $40 million dollar Mueller investigation that showed his innocence of any real lawbreaking. Now we have multiple efforts at lawfare attempting to make him look guilty akin to the effort to 'get' Justice Kavanaugh with charges that are difficult to back up that he was able to document that the whole damn thing was a ruse-- If Mr. Trump were not independently wealthy to fight off all these legal jui-jitsu efforts, he would not be able to fight it off-- YOU and I would be totally financically ruined!! If it were not for the brave 'whitleblowers' who the government tried to ruin coming forward to testify to Congress, the Vegetable and his beloved son Hunter would still be skating and getting sweetheart NON PROSECUTION 'deals'....

And #6, your comment about Donald Trump being independently wealthy relates to my second reason why they are doing all of this. They want to smear him and drain him financially. We also have Nikki Haley stating that she trusts the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case. Nikki Haley is an opportunist. I would love to ask her right now especially after smearing Donald Trump how she felt about him when appointing her ambassador to the United Nations. Loyalty dissipates very fast after an opportunity is achieved. Rape is a criminal act and a person should be able to defend themself in a criminal court setting and not a civil court case. The fact that Nikki Haley trusts this court case tells me about her character. An opportunist. . .

Judge Lewis Kaplan - - and plaintiff attorney Roberta Kaplan - - should be disqualified because of an undisclosed personal relationship. The new judge will be Marvin Kaplan - - and the new plaintiff attorney will be Gabe Kaplan. Those are two Kaplans we can really TRUST!

What the flugelhorn? Top TV journalists freak out if you suggest President Biden is showing signs of experiencing a mental decline, but it's apparently fair commentary to call him "Genocide Joe"? On Sunday's Meet the Press, host Kristen Welker interviewed radical-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and at the end, gently questioned whether it's fair for her colleague Rashida Tlaib and other leftist friends of hers to accuse Biden of supporting genocide. That's deeply weird. In early December, Welker pressed Ron DeSantis six times to denounce Trump for referring to radical leftists and Marxists as "vermin.". And who can forget Welker fighting with Donald Trump,

In a controversial decision, the Stamford Board of Education has voted to remove Columbus Day and Veterans Day from the list of school holidays, requiring students to attend school on these dates. The decision, passed with a 5-3 vote, overruled previous years’ push-back from local veterans and Italian-Americans. The motion’s supporters, Joshua Esses, Michael Hyman, Gabriela Koc, Versha Munshi-South, and Antonia Better-Wirz, advocated for a shorter school year, arguing that a 181-day calendar extending into mid-June was too long. Esses suggested offsetting the number of school days by eliminating not only Columbus and Veterans Day but also the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr,

Former Arizona state Republican Party Chair Jeff DeWit tried to make hay out of chaos at his state party convention after delegates booed Kari Lake days after his own resignation from his post – saying it reinforced the need for 'unity.' The tumult came after Lake accused DeWit of approaching her with a bribe if the Senate candidate she would step back from politics. DeWit highlighted the anti-Lake contingent and called for unity rather than 'edited recordings' – a reference to the secret tape Lake made of the 'bribe' offer from 'back east.'

Jerusalem— A little-discussed U.S. military desert outpost in the far reaches of northeastern Jordan has become the focus of international attention after a drone attack killed three American troops and injured at least 34 others there. The base, known as Tower 22, sits near the demilitarized zone on the border between Jordan and Syria along a sandy, bulldozed berm marking the DMZ’s southern edge. The Iraqi border is only 10 kilometers (6 miles) away. The area is known as Rukban, a vast arid region that once saw a refugee camp spring up on the Syrian side over the rise of the Islamic State group’s so-called caliphate in 2914,

A deal being negotiated by Sens.

New details of the Senate deal continue coming to light, the latest revealing more reasons why President Joe Biden has thrown his support behind the deal. Sources who spoke to CBS News said the deal includes multiple loopholes that will not only allow Biden’s DHS to continue funneling tens of thousands of border crossers into the U.S. interior every week but

Benjamin Netanyahu’s warning to America could not have been more timely.

Without coming directly out and declaring their position, it is blatantly obvious the media have staked their claim to the pro-abortion side of the debates. (Hey, if they can alter “pro-life” to now “anti-abortion,” then their alleged “pro-choice” stance can also be rebranded.) Past reporting has been clearly sympathetic to the abortion rights crowd, and the collective outrage seen following the move by SCOTUS to send Roe v. Wade back to the states sealed their bias. To further show their slant, now they are looking into the aftereffects, and can only see bad news.

Three U.S. troops were killed and several dozen wounded in the drone attack early Sunday local time on a base in Jordan near the border with Syria that was likely by the Iran-backed Islamic Resistance of Iraq, though the group took responsibility for three nearby attacks in Syria on Sunday but not the attack in Jordan.

The administration proposed an aggressive efficiency regulation for stoves in February 2023 and subsequently promised that it is not attempting to ban gas stoves, calling suggestions to the contrary “misinformation.” Compliance with the rules will be required for newly-manufactured products starting in January 2028, according to the DOE.

The awarding of nearly $90 million to the second-rate advice columnist E.

Jean Carroll’s case was not just ludicrous on the face of it, but between the judge, the “experts” who testified, and the mechanisms by which the case even came to be, it’s impossible for any ordinary person in the West to see this as anything more than the continuation of a series of hoaxes perpetrated on former President Donald J.
