  • Supreme Court hearing on Presidential immunity from criminal prosecution; widespread protests for the Hamas and against Israel and the US
    Apr 27 2024

    There was an important hearing before the US Supreme Court on April 25th in the District of Columbia criminal trial against Trump. It is clear that the Supreme Court will reverse the decision of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that said that Trump had no immunity from criminal prosecution. The ruling should come down in late June. This will likely result in a delay in that criminal trial until after the November presidential election.
    There have been widespread pro-Hamas demonstrations on college campuses which are threatening Jewish students. These are disgraceful, ignorant and offensive. The far left radicals in American universities are showing that the so-called institutes of higher learning--including Harvard, Yale, NYU, Columbia, and Berkeley--are succeeding at teaching students to be Marxists and terrorists, rather than patriotic and educated people.

  • Iran attack on Israel is thwarted; Trump cited for criminal contempt; Senate dismisses impeachment of Mayorkas; NPR editor suspended for saying NPR is biased.
    Apr 19 2024

    The April 13 attack of Israel from Iran was blocked by Israel, supported by the US and Jordan. This was a total failure on the part of Iran. Pres. Biden then warns Israel not to attach Iran. This was another leadership blunder by Biden, who is caving to the extremists on the left of his party.
    The NYC criminal trial against Trump for the hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels is underway. Judge Marchan issued a gag order against Trump, which the experts say is unconstitutional. The Judge is allowing the prosecution and prosecution witnesses to bash Trump in the press, but prohibiting Trump from responding.
    The Senate dismissed the impeachment proceedings against Sec. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas without hearing any evidence.
    NPR editor Uri Berliner, who had been with NPR for 25 years was suspended for daring to state that NPR has been biased in its coverage of political news. This infuriated the NPR CEO who then suspended Berliner for 5 days. Berliner then resigned from NPR. Congratulations to Berliner. I hope FOX can find a place for him.

  • Pres. Biden gives ultimatum to Netanyahu to make a cease fire--this is a betrayal of Israel; RFK says Biden is the biggest threat to democracy; Judge in NY hush money case puts a gag order on Trump
    Apr 5 2024

    President Joe Biden gave an ultimatum to Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu to either get a cease fire in effect in Gaza or else he could lose US support. Biden has been constantly under attack from the marxists in his party to not support Israel; these attacks are causing Biden to turn against Israel, even though Biden denies it. What we are seeing is the inevitable result of Biden's duplicity.
    In an interview on television (MSNBC, I think), Robert J. Kennedy said that it is Biden and not Trump who is the biggest threat to democracy in America. RFK said that Biden has used social media to silence political enemies, including himself (RFK), who the Democrat Party would not allow to compete with Biden in Democrat primaries.
    A judge in the NY hush money trial against Donald Trump has issued a gag order prohibiting Trump from criticizing the partisan judge and his family of entrenched Democrat supporters. The Judge gave money to Biden's campaign, and the Judge's daughter has been paid by the Democrat Party for her work. I question the legality of the gag order.
