FrontPage Mag readers may recall that back in December I wrote about Michael Cassidy, a conservative Christian and former Navy pilot who tore down a Satanic altar competing with a Christmas display of the Nativity in the Iowa State Capitol. Originally charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief, Cassidy was subsequently hit with a hate crime charge by Polk County Democrat Attorney Kimberly Graham, a prosecutor funded by – surprise – left-wing billionaire financier George Soros. Cassidy is now looking at a possible five years in prison.

It's understandable how George Soros would be upset that someone toppled a statue of his favorite being in the universe. There is some good news for Mr. Soros, as he will have all of eternity to gaze adoringly upon the shameless being himself.

Once again, a female democrat DA has overcharged someone who she intends to punish whether the law actually calls for it or not. It appears that the only persons to be charged with hate crimes are conservatives. The left can take over campuses screaming death to Jews, Death to Israel, death to America and that is ignored as a hate crime. The sheer hate that emanates from the souls of the democrat party is on display every single day and very seldom, if ever, is there a hate charge when it is clear the crime was motivated by hate and prejudice. We cannot be silent when cases like this one surface. Noise must be made by the voters in this DA’s district to show their displeasure when the case goes off the legal rails. Trumped up charges for political purposes is wrong as we are seeing be played out in NYC at this moment. We cannot just remain silent in the face of such blatant political bias. Democrats count on the fact that they can get away with egregious legal overreach completely unimpeded. We must make these kinds of decisions hard on these fascists. Pressure must be put on them through any means possible or they will continue to persecute anyone they consider the opposition. The time for apathy is over. This is not justice, it is political persecution and this DA is a political activist interested in social Justice more than actual justice. She should never be a position of power because she purposely abuses it in order to promote her sick and twisted ideology of lawfare. Is there a law against that? There certainly should be. No one should ever use the justice system as a weapon, yet democrats have turned it into a sport.

We crossed a line when we decided that not all crimes are equal. As usual, when we take a step to abridge freedom, the rallying cry is something the vast majority are in agreement with. Hence vandalism becomes a higher crime when it involves a swastika than other vandalism using the same can of spray paint with the exact same square inches applied to the exact same surface requiring the exact same effort to remove. I know what you are thinking and I don't like it so extra punishment for you. Now somebody does something we sort of like, or at least is consistent with our beliefs and somebody else gets to decide if he had hate in his heart and deserves an extra helping of punishment. Now look at how "hate" is ascribed to any opinion that doesn't conform to the leftists in power. You don't want to see our institutions overwhelmed Cloward and Piven style but it's mostly brown people doing it therefore you hate brown people. We handed the left a license to read our minds and punish us based on their reading.

Satan is the biggest hater of all, as he is a liar and a murderer. He is filled with rage and inspires rivalry (with Jesus Christ), resentment, and revenge. And a bold Christian veteran, acting like St. Michael the Archangel, beheads a statue of this pure evil. And he is called a "hater." Unbelievable!! But he has singlehandedly exposed who Soros worships. Viva Cristo Rey!!!

FTA: As reported by Ben Zeisloft at The Republic Sentinel, the far-left ideologue Graham has received over $300,000 in campaign contributions from the Justice and Public Safety PAC, a Soros-funded entity: Graham campaigned on decreasing racial disparities in prosecution and has since introduced drug diversion programs during her first year in office. The official has voiced numerous leftist views on social media: she wished that George Floyd would “rest in power” on the day police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted, as well as claimed that crime prevention involves “tackling environmental racism” and said that “cash bail makes our communities less safe.” They say things and frame the issue to make it seem like they're just looking for fairness when the intent is to fool people into believing it's a fairness most would agree with but end up with horrible outcomes. Same is true for their use of "our Democracy" which is intended to make it seem like it's Democracy most have learned in school but they use the qualifier of "our" that turns the phrase into THEIR version of Democracy.

Trump tells Scripps News he may wait until
Republican Convention to announce VP pick

Former President Donald Trump said there is “probably a good chance” he will announce his vice presidential pick at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July. Generally, presumptive nominees announce their running mate in the weeks or months leading up to the convention. “I don’t say anything is 100%, but you’re getting pretty close,” Trump said when asked by Scripps News political correspondent Charles Benson if he will wait until the high-profile event, which takes place July 15-18. Waiting until the convention to announce a running mate is rare, but it could provide a major splash during what has become a mostly predictable four-day event.

Since Oct. 7, Iran and Cuba have publicly backed Hamas and refused to condemn its terrorist attacks against Israel. Hamas is also receiving support from Beijing and Moscow.

After weeks of pro-Hamas campus riots, Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, was due to speak to the UCLA chapter of Young Americans for Freedom with a talk titled “Why Everything You Know About Palestine is Wrong”.

Footage has revealed how thieves in California are stealing copper-filled cables from Tesla charging stations. Viral video shared on TikTok by Joshua Beckler shows the aftermath of a recent theft at a Tesla Supercharger station in Vallejo, California. The nine stations are seen without any of the cables attached to them as Beckler shows the core of the heavy duty cable, which is clearly rich in copper, whose value has soared in recent years. The incident happened sometime over the weekend before it was reported to Vallejo police on Sunday morning.

One system. Two sets of rules. Eco-terrorists have attacked priceless works of art and history. Hamas supporters have blocked roads, bridges, and airports. They’ve shut down campuses and assaulted students and faculty. And all of it has gone unpunished. But one woman is going to prison for almost 5 years for protesting abortion. [A] federal judge sentenced the leader of an anti-abortion group to more than four years in prison Tuesday for orchestrating a conspiracy to violate patients’ rights by forcibly blockading a D.C. clinic in 2020.

More than half of the foreign-born immigrant population in the United States under President Joe Biden’s administration is unemployed, according to a recent report. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on Monday that showed that just 46 percent of migrants who had arrived in the U.S. “in 2022 or later” were employed as of the beginning of 2024. “Immigration clearly adds workers to the country, but it just as clearly adds non-workers who need to be supported by the labor of others,” Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, researchers with the CIS, wrote.

As I’ve said over and over again, the left plays chess while the right plays checkers. If even that anymore. The Left knows the game it’s playing and has a strategy for winning it. It’s once again operating in plain sight. It’s possible that looking back we will say that the 2024 presidential election was decided in 2023 with a Supreme Court race in Wisconsin. Democrats have scored a major off-year election victory in Wisconsin, winning the state’s open supreme court seat and flipping control of the court to liberals for the first time in 15 years.

US drugs chiefs are warning of deepening ties between Mexico's cartels and China as the fentanyl pills that claim lives from coast to coast are becoming more potent and deadlier. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has found evidence of Chinese middle men laundering more of the profits cartels make from selling narcotics in the United States. Meanwhile, the fentanyl that claims some 70,000 US lives each year has become even more dangerous, so that now some 70 percent of pills contain a fatal dose of the opioid.

WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over the tapes of his two-day interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur in his probe of the president’s alleged mishandling of classified information. The tapes are at the center of a dispute between House Republicans and Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has defied a subpoena for them and today faces contempt proceedings. Mr. Garland, in a May 15 letter to the president, said that the “committee’s needs are plainly insufficient to outweigh the deleterious effects that the production of the recordings would have on the integrity and effectiveness of similar law enforcement investigations in the future.”

Hollywood lawyer and Hunter Biden's 'sugar brother', Kevin Morris, is said to be 'tapped out' of cash after financially supporting Hunter's legal battles over the last four and a half years to the tune of $6 million. Morris, 61, decided to step in after believing Hunter had little support, but he has since confirmed he is no longer going to continue to lend money to him to fight his battles. The withdrawal of financial support for the president's son comes at the worst possible time for Hunter, 54, with two trials looming which could end up seeing him serve jail time.
