Judge Aileen Cannon was told to STEP DOWN
from the Donald Trump classified documents
case by fellow judges in shocking move

Senior judges in Florida approached Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon last year to ask her to step back from his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case – but she steadfastly refused, according to a shocking new report. Cannon has been the source of fury and puzzlement among Trump critics after she issued rulings in the case that got overturned and failed to get it on track for trial before the November elections. Trump was indicted in June 2023 and charged with illegally retaining national security documents at his Florida club.Not long after the fact, two senior federal judges asked Cannon, who had been assigned the case, to step back, the New York Times reported Thursday,

I hope Judge Cannon politely and with legal deference told these "senior judges" (no doubt Obama and Clinton appointees) to stick it where the sun don't shine. Maybe NY and DC play with fixed refs, but most of the country doesn't. For now.

"Judge, you must recuse yourself and step down." "Why" "You are making too many rulings in favor of Trump. At this rate, you will never get a conviction before the election." American Justice 2024.

I love how they keep showing that bathroom with the document boxes. After the GAO drops off 6 pallets of boxes, where are you supposed to put them? I saw some numbers that Winston seems to have wiped from the internet of the number of documents that are at issue. Fewer than Joe Biden had. So the FBI swoops in and comes out with 30 boxes. What did they get. 4 or 5 or 6 boxes of NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS. And Trump's tax returns. And his passport! Trump couldn't/didn't take those six pallets. They were in Fed control long enough for documents to be put in there. And they were just dumped at Mar a Lago. I'm glad this judge is saying that NO ONE is above the law... and that she's including the FBI.

Judge Cannon was asked to step back from the case. She was not ordered to do so. There is a difference. Just another hit piece on Judge Cannon because she is slowly and methodically ruling for (and against) Trump. There leftists issue with Cannon is that she is not rubber stamping Jack Smiths requests. She is questioning and exposing his underhanded tactics. The left isn't used to that.

I agree with poster #15, what happened to that story? Also, does anyone wonder why not a single juror on that trial has spoken up? That seems rather curious since most people would love to be in the media spotlight and since it was supposedly unanimous on guilty votes the media would treat any juror as a saint.

UK Daily Mail is a good tabloid, but not a legitimate news source. If it were, it would not has said the judge has delayed the trial indefinitely without explaining why: (1) Smith's team mishandled/ tampered with evidence that requires investigation. (2) Canon is considering in a professional manner whether Smith was legally appointed.

This DM article headline mnipulates what actually happened. From the NYT article linked herein: "Shortly after Judge Aileen M. Cannon drew the assignment in June 2023 to oversee former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case, two more experienced colleagues on the federal bench in Florida urged her to pass it up and hand it off to another jurist, according to two people briefed on the conversations. The judges who approached Judge Cannon — including the chief judge in the Southern District of Florida, Cecilia M. Altonaga — each asked her to consider whether it would be better if she were to decline the high-profile case, allowing it to go to another judge, the two people said." DM is NOT a reliable source

Anticipation over selection over who President Trump will select as his running-mate reached fever pitch over the weekend as the 45th President proclaimed just before a rally in Philadelphia he had already made the pick in his mind. Now, reports have emerged that the list of contenders for the coveted number two spot has narrowed.

Joe Biden's student debt relief plan suffered a major hit Monday as two federal judges partially blocked a measure of a plan that is costing the nation $160 billion. Two federal judges in Kansas and Missouri on Monday sided with several Republican-led states and stopped the Democrat from moving forward with a key student debt relief initiative. In total, the Administration has already approved almost $160 billion in relief for nearly 4.6 million borrowers.

Melania Trump is unlikely to move into the White House if Donald wins another term in November, analysts say. Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University. Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events. The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition.

Given how much former President Donald Trump loves to get the final word in on any issue, one would assume that President Joe Biden would cherish the chance to strip his predecessor of getting a last word in, especially in a debate setting. One would assume wrong. According to CNN, which will host the first debate, Biden won a crucial coin flip ahead of the June 27 debate. The coin, which turned up tails, gave Team Biden the option to choose between either podium position or the order in which closing remarks are delivered. The incumbent, apparently, opted to lock in his podium position — a seemingly far lesser advantage

Governor Ron DeSantis’ crackdown on illegal immigrants seems to be paying off in more ways than one, according to a recent report. The governor’s multi-pronged effort to reduce illegal immigration in Florida has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of taxpayer dollars going to fund healthcare for those residing in the country illegally. The governor signed a law last year requiring hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients about their legal immigration status when they seek treatment. The legislation does not compel patients to answer the question, but immigrant rights groups argued that it would discourage them from receiving medical attention funded by the government.

Bob Bauer, the president's longtime personal lawyer, is expected to stand in for Trump as he did before the successful 2020 debates.

On Sunday's "This Week," Martha Raddatz had a panel discussion with three "experts" on the upcoming presidential debate. The panel included Frank Luntz, and what he offered up made little sense. Luntz claims that the last two presidential campaigns, beginning with Trump versus Clinton in 2016 and then Trump versus Biden in 2020, were the beginning of the end of democracy. It seems everything in politics is “the end of democracy.” Luntz claimed that personal invectives and insults are too debasing and, apparently, a sign of the end of democracy. Luntz is a pollster, not a historian. Maybe he’s unaware of the long history of politicians insulting each other.
High-Speed Rail in USA: An Expensive Tax

Posted by mc squared 6/23/2024 9:32:55 AM Post Reply
For some reason, high-speed rail is a hot-button issue for liberals and a frequent point of criticism from Chinese communist propaganda and Europeans when they attack the U.S. “How can you call yourself a developed country when you don’t have high-speed rail?” they ask. The reality is that high-speed rail would be more expensive and less efficient than our current travel infrastructure. High-speed rail works in Europe and China because of government subsidies, higher taxes, and because people typically travel shorter distances and have fewer travel options. The U.S. has more cars per capita, more highways, more airports, and more railroads than China or the EU. Additionally, Americans prefer to drive
