Former President Donald Trump joins a growing list of world leaders convicted after leaving office, with many critics in the U.S. claiming that such measures hurt the country’s image as a global leader. A New York City court found Trump guilty of falsifying business documents related to payments made to Michael Cohen, who had paid porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. World leaders largely offered restrained comment on the verdict, but some of Trump’s closest allies criticized the decision and urged him to "keep fighting.”

A jury of shills rather than a jury of peers found Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of … what were the crimes again? Doesn’t matter. The Democrats got the verdict they were looking for. And it wasn’t justice on their minds. They wanted retribution. They wanted to hang an anchor around Trump’s neck during the campaign. They wanted the equivalent of a political execution.
They got it all.
Yet they still want more.
The Democratic Party is now officially the party of Stalin. Its operatives and functionaries have long tilted much closer to Sovietism than Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson. Today they have fallen fully into the arms of Uncle Joe.

It’s the last Friday in May during an election year and whether Americans know it or not, they woke up this morning in a nation different than it was the day before.
A former U.S. president – and the Republican Party’s all-but-certain nominee for president this November – now stands convicted of vague crimes by a Democratic Party jury on charges brought by a Democratic Party prosecutor overseen by a plainly hostile Democratic Party judge.
Heretofore responsible conservatives are today openly calling for GOP prosecutors to respond to the Democrats’ “lawfare” by exacting retribution in legal venues friendly to their side. Presumably, that strategy would entail indicting prominent Democrats on criminal charges

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has refused a request from Senate Democrats to discuss fellow conservative Justice Samuel Alito's failure to recuse himself from cases involving former President Donald Trump.
Alito has been under fire in recent weeks over two flags associated with Trump and the January 6 Capitol riot that had been flown at his homes. He blamed his wife for raising the flags and insists that he is unbiased in matters involving the ex-president—such as Trump v. United States, the pending case on Trump's claim that he is immune to criminal charges due to presidential immunity.

First Lady Jill Biden has been campaigning for her beleaguered husband, President Joe Biden, by promoting a well-tested Democrat theme: Choose Good over Evil.
Yesterday, a Manhattan jury showed the world how evil America has become because of the actions of her husband and his supporters over the years. Former President Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was found guilty of 34 crimes related to falsifying business records - 11 counts (invoices), 12 counts (ledger entries), and 11 counts (checks).
In a May DailyMail.com/TIPP Poll, voters overwhelmingly said that Donald Trump could not get a fair trial in New York due to bias against him.

The European Parliament election is just around the corner. In Germany, one in four people will not go to the polls. A new survey shows that those who do may want to punish the federal government. The elections for the EU Parliament are the world's second-largest exercise in democracy after India's general election. Around 450 million EU citizens will be called upon to vote for the European Parliament from June 6-9. Germany fields 96 of the 720 EU lawmakers.
Campaigners have been out and about for weeks, but many eligible voters show little interest: Four out of ten say they are not planning to cast their ballot on June 9.

“Rigged” is a favorite word of Donald Trump and his allies.
It describes how institutions and processes have been distorted by a progressive elite to tilt the playing field against Trump and his supporters. For the former president, it’s an all-purpose charge lodged against anything he dislikes and is especially useful as applied to the 2020 election, since it can vaguely encompass everything from sharp practices by the other side to outright theft.
When Trump made his statement to reporters Wednesday morning prior to the jury getting Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case, he repeatedly used the word “rigged,” and in this instance, he was absolutely right.

Sometimes unexpected but dramatic events tear off the thin veneer of respectability and convention. What follows is the exposure and repudiation of long-existing but previously covered-up pathologies.
Events like the destruction of the southern border over the last three years, the October 7 massacre and ensuing Gaza war, the campus protests, the COVID-19 epidemic and lockdown, and the systematic efforts to weaponize our bureaucracies and courts have all led to radical reappraisals of American culture and civilization.
Since the 1960s, universities have always been hotbeds of left-wing protests, sometimes violently so.

There’s a lot of money and some activist passion on the Left behind prosecutors who value mercy over vengeance, but most of the energy on that side these days is behind locking up the “bad people.”
Alvin Bragg ran for district attorney on the promise of prosecuting former President Donald Trump — and won. Think about that for a moment. A Democratic politician campaigned on the promise of locking up the chief rival to the president of the United States. Then he brought an extremely thin case based on an unproven legal theory.
It’s banana republic stuff, but it’s also part of a broader trend: the prosecutorial fervor on the Left today.

The Biden administration has set in motion a wave of new regulations that have already cost the U.S. more than $1 trillion, which equates to thousands of dollars per family, according to a new report from the Job Creators Network.
There have been $1.6 trillion in costs imposed from a total of 923 new federal regulations that have been finalized under President Joe Biden, with $1.2 trillion of those being put in place in just the past few months, according to the JCN. In just the first two years of the Biden administration, new regulations are estimated to have led to an average of almost $10,000 in added future and present

Robert De Niro is such a great actor, he made me laugh and cry at the same time on Tuesday when he warned that Donald Trump "will never leave" office if he is elected this November.
Channeling his unhinged malcontent from “Taxi Driver,” De Niro went full Travis Bickle outside Trump’s New York City trial, asserting that the former president would rule as dictator even as the former president’s political opponents work to jail him on politically motivated charges.
De Niro’s fearmongering was so cartoonish that it seemed like a brilliant send-up of Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s joking, right? Only he wasn’t, of course. His performance echoed President Biden’s dystopian commencement speech

In case you needed another example of how President Joe Biden is in full desperation mode, look no further than what happened Tuesday outside the Manhattan courtroom where jurors heard closing arguments in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump.
The Biden campaign held a bizarre news conference featuring none other than actor Robert De Niro, who railed against Trump and his purported existential threat to democracy. I’ve always been a fan of De Niro’s movies, but I don’t care at all what he thinks about politics.
I doubt many other Americans do, either.
And it’s somewhat humorous that Biden
