  3. Billionaire and left-wing philanthropist George Soros has been buying up debt to acquire a controlling stake in the second-largest radio broadcaster in the country, Audacy.

    Court filings and sources close to the situation told the New York Post that Soros Fund Management has “bought up $400 million of debt in Audacy — the No. 2 US radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia with stations including New York’s WFAN and 1010 WINS, as well as Los Angeles-based KROQ, according to bankruptcy filings.”

    In November 2021, PILF filed suit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) accusing her of keeping nearly 26,000 dead registrants on Michigan voter rolls and thus violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

  5. Huma Abedin, former aide to Hillary Clinton and ex-wife of disgraced Democrat politician Anthony Weiner, has reportedly been dating the son of billionaire and left-wing activist George Soros.

    Abedin went public with her relationship with Alex Soros on Wednesday, who is 10 years her junior, when she shared a photo in her Instagram Stories of the two enjoying a Valentine’s Day date in Paris. The shared image featured the 47-year-old Abedin cuddling next to the 38-year-old Alex in a booth with the phrase “Happy Valentine’s Day” posted in red letters above their heads. Per the Daily Mail:

  6. Pakistan Elites Move to Make Nawaz Sharif’s Little Brother PM, Elbowing Out Popular Islamists

    As the dust settled from Pakistan’s highly contentious elections, presumptive prime ministerial candidate Nawaz Sharif stepped aside in favor of his younger brother Shehbaz, the former PM who is now likely to receive another term — even though the populist party of his predecessor Imran Khan won the most seats.

    Khan has been sentenced to decades in prison on corruption and national security charges and his PTI party was erased from ballots by court order, but it still appears to have won the most seats in the chaotic election last week, a stunning victory considering the circumstances.

  7. Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto claimed victory in the presidential election on Thursday, insisting that “quick counts” gave him more than 55 percent of the vote.

    Neither of Prabowo’s opponents, former Govs. Anies Beswadan and Ganjar Pranowo, were immediately willing to concede defeat.

    Anies said on Wednesday morning his campaign will “wait until the official result, and we will respect it.” He suggested his supporters should keep a close eye on the vote counters and promised that, for the time being, his campaign “is not over.”

  8. Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who is running for late Sen. Diane Feinstein’s U.S. Senate seat, is calling for a $50 minimum wage, defending her position during a debate Monday night.

    The moderator asked Lee to defend her call for a $50-an-hour minimum wage during the event, noting that it is “seven times the current national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.”

    When asked how that would be economically sustainable for small businesses, Lee immediately said that she owned and ran a small business for over a decade, creating “hundreds of jobs, benefits, retirement benefits, [and] also health care benefits.”

    “I know what worker productivity means, and that means that you have to make sure that your employees are taken care of and have a living wage in the Bay Area,” Lee said. “I believe it was the United Way [that] came out with a report that — very recently — [said] $127,000 for a family of four is just barely enough to get by,” she said, pointing to another survey that identified $104,000 as not being enough for one person, essentially classifying them as low income “because of the affordability crisis.”

  9. Steven Guillbeault, Canada’s pathetic, little, activist, Environment Minister, Liberal, Proud Socialist, a great threat to Canadians is starting to show his WEF agenda.

    He introduced his electric vehicle sales mandate regulations, a while ago. Yes, he said 100% of our vehicles sales must be zero emissions by 2035.

    At a conference in Montreal on Monday, the Proud, little socialist said “We should stop thinking electric cars will solve OUR problems. Overestimating the impact of electric powered transportation would be “an error”, a false utopia”.

    His boss, head clown, Klaus Schwab says no one will own a car, a truck…..and you will be happy. So the next move will be to government transit or a government owned bicycle perhaps.

    Now you understand why the Liberal, commie government will not spend money on roads. Shhhh, YOU WILL BE HAPPY.

      Cute? Bloody patronizing.

      Besides talking down to people vastly more experienced and culturally distinct, he doesn’t understand the nuts and bolts of ANY *war*, let alone this one.

      For instance, Israel has 200,000 internally displaced persons. In a country that small, that’s a lot. Do the math: what would that mean in the American population?

      Does he understand the dimensions of the war itself?
      Can he find Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) on a map? The topography is elevated on the wrong side. Does he understand the military implications for the Israeli civilian population concentrated along the coast?

  14. Miss Pittsburgh Creates Survivor PAC To Stop Soros Funded Pro-Crime Politicians
    by Guest Contributor Feb. 15, 2024 9:50 am

    In a stunning revelation, Survivor PAC, spearheaded by political commentator and healthcare founder Madison Campbell, exposes pro-crime politicians who side with criminals over survivors.

    The evidence uncovered by Survivor PAC shatters the illusion, revealing that Republicans stand firmly with victims, advocating to end crime rather than perpetuate it.

    Survivor PAC, the first of its kind, challenges the left’s narrative by emphasizing genuine victim support and innovative solutions. Madison Campbell’s grassroots organization brings a fresh perspective to the political landscape, standing against the false claims that criminals are the true victims.

    Unlike the Left, Survivor PAC is dedicated to empowering victims and ending the cycle of crime as George Soros and extremist politicians continue their catch and release programs, dangerous immigration policies, and profess their love for terrorist organizations like Hamas abroad and ANTIFA domestically.

    In the wake of House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH)’s recent visit to Kyiv and subsequent warnings of a serious national security threat related to Russia, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) have released their perspective on the situation, painting a stark picture of America’s security challenges.

    Following Chairman Turner’s urgent message, sources close to the intelligence community shared with CNN that the threat is indeed “very sensitive” and “highly concerning.”

    “Today, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has made available to all Members of Congress information concerning a serious national security threat,” Rep. Turner said in a statement.

    “I am requesting that President Biden declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat,” he added.

  18. Court Date Set for Trump Assistant Attorney General in Civil Division Jeff Clark in DC Case – Democrats Want to Punish Him for Questioning 2020 Election
    by Jim Hoft Feb. 15, 2024 8:45 am61 Comments

    Jeff Clark has been an eminent legal practitioner over a career spanning about 25 years. No question about his qualifications, his ethics, or his legal acumen had ever been raised prior to late January 2021. He served in the Bush Administration as a very young (34 year-old) Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Environment and Natural Resources Division from 2001-2005, fighting against over-regulation and winning awards from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and, most importantly, from the Pentagon for protecting naval readiness. Without his efforts, China’s race for naval domination would have advanced by leaps and bounds.

    President Trump nominated Jeff Clark to become the Assistant Attorney General of the 400-lawyer Environment Division at the Justice Department in 2017. He was proud, 17 years later, to take the helm of the DOJ litigating Division he had first entered as a leader in 2001. Despite attempts to block his confirmation (which held him up for an unprecedented 14-month period), he was confirmed with bipartisan support in October 2018 and took office on November 1, 2018. He accomplished much–(1) securing billions of dollars in penalties from those cheating the American people; (2) defending President Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords that stripped Americans of jobs, offshoring them to China and other parts of the world for no good purpose; and (3) spearheading the first reform of the red-tape-encrusted National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 40 years, which was, among other things, slowing infrastructure renewal to a crawl. In recognition of his strong work in the Environment Division, Jeff Clark was ALSO named the Acting Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division (adding another 1,000 lawyers to his oversight responsibilities) in early September 2020. He left both offices behind as part of the transition in mid-January 2021.

    As part of a new and destructive era in politics, Jeff Clark has been targeted for cancellation by the hyper-partisan January 6 Committee, the “mainstream” media, and a collection of leftist law professors and supposed “Republicans” who are conveniently never-Trumpers. He needs your support to defend himself against these unfair assaults and the efforts to penetrate into confidential advice he provided to President Trump–for on the Left, the advice given to all Democrat Presidents is sacrosanct but President Trump somehow cannot be afforded those same constitutional protections. Think of the outcry if President Trump had taken office and immediately ordered the release of the advice given to President Obama from Attorney General Holder about the “Fast and Furious” operation. (Taken from Jeff’s GiveSendGo page.)

    The Marxist left understands Jeff Clark’s talent and potential. They also fear his likely future role in a Donald Trump administration. So they decided to ruin him with numerous lawfare suits to make his life a living hell. This is what the left does. They love America’s enemies, work to destroy the country with policies like open borders, and detest those who support American greatness.

  19. BREAKING: Far-Left NYC Judge Dismisses Trump Request to Toss Ridiculous NY Case – Trial Scheduled for March 25
    by Cristina Laila Feb. 15, 2024 9:15 am91 Comments

    Far-left NYC Judge Juan Merchan ruled that Trump’s trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case brought by Alvin Bragg will begin March 25.

    Judge Merchan issued the ruling after a judge in Jack Smith’s January 6 case postponed the March 4 trial date. He also turned down requests for a delay from Trump’s legal team.

    “It is completely election interference to say ‘you are going to sit in this courtroom in Manhattan,” said Trump’s defense lawyer Todd Blanche.

    Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.

We won’t have any Rights and are forever Rights, all of our rights will exist at the sufferance of Judges and politicians.)

    Joe Biden Thinks He Can Rewrite the Constitution After Urging Congress to Ban “Assault Weapons” in Wake of Chiefs Super Bowl Parade Shooting

    In a recent statement following a devastating shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade, President Joe Biden has called on Congress to enact stricter gun control measures.

    Kansas City was struck by violence on Wednesday when a shooter opened fire amidst the festivities, resulting in at least 29 individuals receiving medical attention.

    Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves confirmed 22 people were shot, with one succumbing to her injuries. Hospitals told CNN that 19 of the 29 patients are being treated for gunshot wounds.

    Three individuals have been detained in relation to the shooting incident.

    Meet the ‘badass’ lawyer who could blow up Trump racketeering case over Fani Willis’ sex secrets

    Ashleigh Merchant never stops running — and that has embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis running scared.

    The “badass” Georgia criminal defense attorney, 46, who runs marathons in her spare time, will be front and center at a hearing in Atlanta Thursday that could upend the sprawling election meddling and racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and others.

    In August, a Fulton County grand jury returned a 41-count indictment accusing Trump and 18 co-defendants of plotting to reverse the former president’s 2020 electoral loss in Georgia. Willis has been leading the investigation.

    Then Merchant filed a bombshell motion on January 8 on behalf of her client, GOP political operative Mike Roman, 52, alleging that Willis had an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship with Nathan Wade, whom Willis appointed as a special prosecutor — and demanding that Willis’ charges against Roman be dropped.

    Merchant, who was just sworn in as president of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, argued that Willis should be disqualified from the case because “the district attorney chose to appoint her romantic partner, who at all times relevant to this prosecution has been a married man.

    Biden’s ATF Begs Supreme Court to Save its “Ghost Gun” Frame & Receiver Regulations
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on February 15, 2024 by Mark W Smith

    Opinion

    YouTube video player

    The United States Solicitor General’s Office under President Joe Biden has asked the Supreme Court to hear Garland v. VanDerStok, which concerns federal “ghost gun” rules.

    This is one of several Second Amendment-related cases the Supreme Court could hear next term. Although technically speaking, the VanDerStok case presents questions about the ATF’s legal authority under a specific Congressional statute, the implications of the high court’s decision in this matter will have significant ramifications on America’s firearms community.

    Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found that the ATF could not regulate “unfinished” frames and receivers because they are not actually frames or receivers but are (as Judge Andrew Oldham put it) “unformed, unfinished pieces of metal.”

    The Supreme Court doesn’t have to grant cert in this case, but it likely will: the Court usually grants an overwhelming majority of the cert petitions filed by the U.S. Solicitor General, particularly when a federal law or regulation has been declared invalid. This case has already gone up to the Supreme Court twice on emergency applications seeking a stay, which have been granted in favor of the federal government both times. Most recently, the Fifth Circuit ruled that the ATF lacked the authority when they promulgated their rule under the Gun Control Act of 1968 regulating so-called “ghost guns.” At that time the GCA was passed, a firearm was defined as having a “frame” or a “receiver,” one of which is also imprinted with a serial number pursuant to federal law.

    Today, Americans are able to make and sell partially-formed raw materials to be made into do-it-yourself frames and receivers (without the serial number imprinted on them).

    However, Biden’s Department of Justice wants to expand the scope of the regulation in order to include such raw materials as “unfinished” frames and receivers.

    The entire point of the regulation is to regulate so-called “ghost guns” [aka homemade guns] out of existence and crush an important ancillary right to the Second Amendment, the right to build your own firearms. The Biden administration wishes to accomplish all of this without persuading Congress to pass such a statute.

    The two questions presented by the Solicitor General to the Supreme Court are:

    “Whether ‘a weapon parts kit that is designed to or may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive,’ 27 C.F.R. 478.11, is a “firearm” regulated by the Act.
    Whether ‘a partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frame or receiver” that is “designed to or may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted to function as a frame or receiver,’ 27 C.F.R. 478.12(c), is a ‘frame or receiver’ regulated by the Act.”

    It’s likely going to be very difficult to persuade the Supreme Court to broaden the statutory definition of “frame or receiver” to include the laundry list of items the Solicitor General named in her questions. The Court’s antipathy to the administrative state has been demonstrated repeatedly, including during oral argument in the Loper Bright case, where the Court is on the verge of eliminating the Chevron doctrine of deference.

    Thus, I believe it is very likely that the Supreme Court will rebuke this sort of “pen and phone” regulation done by the Biden administration.

    Some Second Amendment supporters may be concerned about VanDerStok given that Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett sided with the government and agreed to stay the case pending appeal. However, as I argued in a previous article, their prior rulings on emergency stay requests do not indicate future results or their final decision on the merits. Their decisions up to this point were likely influenced by factors extrinsic to the merits of the claims in the case, such as the desire for a more developed lower court record. Indeed, I think the Second Amendment community has a high likelihood of winning this case. The do-it-yourself firearm tradition has a long history in America. When it comes to the actual statutory dispute of whether a so-called “unfinished frame or receiver” constitutes a firearm, the Supreme Court will likely agree that it doesn’t.

    The Supreme Court has demonstrated its impatience with administrative overreach in recent years. Last term’s Sackett v. EPA decision shrinking the scope of the federal Clean Water Act that had previously been used by the Biden Administration to interfere with individual citizens’ lives illustrates the point. So, too does the Supreme Court’s decision in Biden v. Nebraska striking down Biden’s attempt to forgive student loans. The fact that the Biden administration has continued to make end-runs around this ruling will only serve to increase the Court’s ire towards administrative overreach.

    We are also likely to see another series of Second Amendment cases hit the Court’s docket next year in addition to VanDerStok. One such example is Reese v. ATF out of the Fifth Circuit, which the ATF is likely to lose. This case concerns the federal law, which prohibits 18-20-year-olds from purchasing a firearm from someone with a Federal Firearms License.

    As a result, I think we are in for another productive year (2024-2025) for the Second Amendment before the Supreme Court. So, take heart and keep your powder dry as we gear up for another term filled with Second Amendment cases.

  23. Pennsylvania Teen Could Face Charges After Playing With Toy Gun During Online Class
    By Cam Edwards | 11:31 AM | February 15, 2024

    A 13-year-old in York County, Pennsylvania has been suspended from school and could face criminal charges after his teacher spotted him playing with a toy gun during a virtual class held while kids were stuck at home after a snowstorm.

    Jennifer Atienza says she was already on her way home Tuesday morning when officials with the Spring Grove Area School District called and informed her that her son Brandon had shown a gun during the online class. When she called him to ask what had happened, he told her that he was playing with an Orbeez toy revolver, and also informed her that there was a police officer outside their home.

    • One of my employees asked me to write a letter on behalf of one of her sons. I know the kid: a tai kwon do aficionado. Hard working, serious and funny at the same time.

      His Crime?
      He pointed his figure, gestured as if pulling a trigger. School busybodies searched his book bag. He had a TOY shuriken (throwing star), like something cut from aluminum foil. From the recent New Years parade in Chinatown!

      He was suspended. His parents are from Costa Rica, now frantic. Hispanic, but apparently not enough melanin and they’re devout Roman Catholics to boot.

    • Bitcoin is a trap…
      I think so too. Besides the Sea Aye A, throw in some other spooky moving parts.

      • I don’t believe in the alleged inventor of BC, Satoshi. It’s all a ruse to congregate anti-dollar flotsam, then flush. Very effective. To point: my Youtube algo defaults to Michael Saylor interviews–a very eloquent BC snake oil salesman.

  25. BREAKING: Fani Willis is Done! Nathan Wade Testifies He Paid For Vacations with His Business Card and Fani Willis Reimbursed Him in CASH For Expenses (VIDEO)
    by Cristina Laila Feb. 15, 2024 11:15 am121 Comments

    It’s over!

    Fani is done.

    An evidentiary hearing about alleged misconduct by Soros-backed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was underway on Thursday as the judge weighs whether Willis should be disqualified from the Trump RICO case.

    According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

    Earlier this month Fani Willis and Nathan Wade both got subpoenaed to testify at Thursday’s evidentiary hearing according to a new lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

    Judge Scott McAfee on Monday said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

    “I think it’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” Judge McAfee said in Monday’s hearing. “The state has admitted a relationship existed. And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again if there even was one. And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”

    “I think the issues at point here are whether a relationship existed, whether that relationship was romantic or non-romantic in nature, when it formed, and whether it continues. And that’s only relevant because it’s in combination with the question of the existence and extent of any personal benefit conveyed as a result of their relationship,” the judge said on Monday.

    Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman filed an explosive supplemental reply to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and accused her of lying to the court about her affair with the top Trump prosecutor she appointed.

    On Thursday morning witness Robin Yearti who worked in Fani Willis’s office testified that Fani Willis and Nathan Wade started their relationship in 2019 – before Willis assigned Nathan Wade as lead prosecutor in the RICO lawfare case against President Trump.

    This was a devastating testimony.

    Fani Willis’ lover Nathan Wade took the stand and testified under oath that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fani Willis with his business card – and Fani Willis reimbursed him in CASH for expenses.

    Let’s take a look at those expenses.

    Last month Nathan Wade’s estranged wife Jocelyn Wade filed a response to Fani Willis’ request for a protective order – and produced the receipts!

    Nathan Wade spent money on Fani Willis by buying her flowers, and paying for hotels, air travel, a cruise, and Ubers.

    The bank statements provided by Jocelyn Wade prove Nathan Wade bought Fani Willis flights to Miami and San Francisco.

    • The Georgia Bar Association is Now Interfering — Advises Witness Not to Answer Questions About Fani Willis and Nathan Wade in Scandal Investigation
      by Jim H?ft Feb. 15, 2024 12:20 pm278 Comments

      The Georgia Bar Association is now interfering in the Fani Willis-Nathan Wade scandal as it advises a witness not to answer questions pertaining to the alleged improper relationship between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and lead prosecutor Nathan Wade.

      The advice comes amid an ongoing scandal that threatens to derail a significant election interference case involving former President Donald Trump.

      Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee is set to review evidence this morning regarding accusations that Willis engaged in an improper relationship with Wade, potentially compromising the integrity of the case.

      These allegations have intensified since The Gateway Pundit reported the possibility that Willis could be disqualified from the RICO case against Trump and several associates over her conduct.

      Earlier this month, Willis and Wade were subpoenaed for an evidentiary hearing scheduled for today, stemming from a lawsuit filed by Michael Roman, a co-defendant in Trump’s RICO case. Ashleigh Merchant, representing Roman, has accused Willis’ office of “intentionally withholding information.”

      During today’s proceedings, witness Robin Yearti, who worked in Fani Willis’s office, testified that Willis and Wade initiated their relationship in 2019, contradicting the filings made by Wade and Willis claiming that the relationship began in 2022.

      The Gateway Pundit previously reported that on Monday’s hearing, the attorney found a discrepancy where Wade provided two contrasting sworn declarations in different courts about his improper relationship with Willis.

      “We’ve got two declarations in two different courts, both sworn and filed with the court, that say something completely different,” the lawyer said.

      “We’ve got a 2023 filing under oath by Mr. Wade, stating he didn’t have a relationship. Then we’ve got a filing stating he did have one starting in 2022.” “And then, once that came about, he fixed the incorrect affidavit that was filed back in 2023. So, we definitely have a conflict judge.”

      Another witness, Terrence Bradley, a former law partner of Nathan Wade, claimed that the Georgia Bar Association had advised him not to answer questions due to the application of Rule 1.6 of confidentiality.

      Rule 1.6: Confidentiality of Information (Client-Lawyer Relationship) states that a lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted…”

      Bradley cited this rule as the reason for not answering questions, as he believed that it applied to all communications. The specifics of the advice given by the association were not disclosed, but it led Bradley to request an immediate review by the Supreme Court.

      The defense argued that the bar’s advice prevented them from questioning Bradley effectively.

      Ashleigh Merchant, the defense attorney involved in the case, expressed uncertainty about the Georgia Bar Association’s awareness of Wade’s filed affidavit, which she argued changed the privilege dynamics.

      She claimed that Wade had waived certain aspects of privilege by including information about the relationship in his affidavit. She argued that since Wade had already disclosed the relationship, she should be allowed to ask qualifying questions regarding it.

      The attorney emphasized that Wade should not be allowed to selectively disclose information while avoiding questioning about it. She contended that privilege should either be fully upheld or waived, and the current situation, where Wade is able to discuss the relationship on his own terms, is unacceptable.

    • “I Am Not a Hostile Witness!” – BREAKING: A Defiant Fani Willis Takes the Witness Stand – Rambles About Her Relationship with Nathan Wade – Shouts at Prosecutor (VIDEO)
      by Cristina Laila Feb. 15, 2024 3:00 pm171 Comments

      An evidentiary hearing about alleged misconduct by Soros-backed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was underway on Thursday as the judge weighs whether Willis should be disqualified from the Trump RICO case.

      According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

      Trump’s RICO co-defendant, Michael Roman, filed an explosive supplemental reply to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and accused her of lying to the court about her affair with the top Trump prosecutor she appointed.

      Willis’ paramour, Nathan Wade, took the stand and testified under oath that he paid for all the vacations he took with Fani Willis with his business card – and Fani Willis reimbursed him in CASH for expenses.

      Nathan Wade spent money on Fani Willis by buying her flowers, and paying for hotels, air travel, a cruise, and Ubers.

      The bank statements provided by Jocelyn Wade prove Nathan Wade bought Fani Willis flights to Miami and San Francisco.

      Fani Willis took the witness stand on Thursday, and she was hostile, arrogant, and defiant!

      “I am not a hostile witness. I very much want to be here. Ms. Merchant’s interests are contrary to democracy, your honor, not to mine!” Willis said.

      Willis rambled on and on about her relationship with Nathan Wade under cross-examination by Michael Roman’s attorney Ashleigh Merchant.

      Marchant asked Willi when her romantic relationship with Nathan Wade ended. Willis said their relationship ended in August 2023.

      Ashleigh Merchant asked Fani Willis if Nathan Wade ever stayed with her ‘where she lay her head,’ – and Fani Willis lost it.

      “She lied! She lied!” Willis shouted before the attorneys went to a break.

      Scott McAfee admonished the court after everyone returned from a break and went back on record.

      Fani Willis lashed out at Ashleigh Merchant for asking if she ever paid Nathan Wade through CashApp.

      “That was cute!” Willis shouted at Merchant.

      Judge Scott McAfee on Monday said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

      “I think it’s clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one,” Judge McAfee said in Monday’s hearing. “The state has admitted a relationship existed. And so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any financial benefit, again if there even was one. And so because I think its possible that the facts alleged by the defendant could result in disqualification, I think an evidentiary hearing must occur to establish the record on those core allegations.”

    • (VIDEO) Even Far-Left MSNBC Admits “Fani Willis Lied to The Court” in Trump Election Interference Case, “It’s GAME OVER for Her” — Trump Responds, “ANOTHER SCAM COORDINATED WITH THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE”
      by Jordan Conradson Feb. 15, 2024 4:00 pm

      An MSNBC legal analyst responded to the Fulton County hearing over misconduct by Soros-backed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, prosecuting Trump’s election interference case, saying, “It’s game over for [Willis].”

      “Don’t let the legalese fool you. This is epic; this is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think, Fani Willis lied to the court. It’s game over for her; she will be disqualified,” the MSNBC guest shared. “It’s a huge deal. I can’t overstate it.”

      President Trump responded to this in a TRUTH Social post:

  26. Attorney Ty Clevenger Demands FBI Turn Over Documents on Seth Rich that They Continue to Hide from the Public
    by Jim Hoft Feb. 15, 2024 11:30 am32 Comments

    Attorney Ty Clevenger is the bulldog attorney who has been going after the DOJ and FBI for years to get to the bottom of the Seth Rich murder.

    Clevenger also investigated the unknown person who turned over the DNC and Podesta emails to Wikileaks during the 2016 election cycle. This was always the key to the Trump-Russia collusion nightmare.

    No proof was ever offered up by the fake news legacy media, Democrats, or the intelligence community on this scandal. If Russia did not supply the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, then this was more proof that the DOJ’s Russia collusion story was a complete lie used to fool the American public. It certainly appears that was the case.

    After years of denying they had anything related to Seth Rich, the FBI and DOJ were caught lying about the evidence they were holding. In September 2023, a judge finally demanded the FBI and DOJ provide all they had regarding Seth Rich to Attorney Clevenger.

  33. The Current Federal Government Won’t Protect Americans-But Sheriff Jones Will
    by John Mills Feb. 15, 2024 3:20 pm

    One of the most inspiring presentations I’ve seen in a while was the one just given by Sheriff Richard K. Jones of Butler County, Ohio. Sheriff Jones gave this presentation on February 7, 2024.

    He had just returned from National Sheriff’s Training in Washington D.C. for the 3,300 Sheriffs in America. Sheriffs are becoming the front and center figures for functional civil governance in the midst of the collapse of American society.

    This collapse traces to the willful failure or lack of action by Federal Officials to secure the American Border.

    The foundation of the American Constitutional Republic is the county. There are roughly 3,300 counties across the 50 states and eight US Territories. Until the 2020 election, many had not given a whole lot of thought to Sheriffs.

    The term and movement of Constitutional Sheriffs is gaining great traction. The failure of the Federal Government, increased lawlessness, and an open border are driving more Americans to think about their immediate community which brings more focus on the chief law enforcement officer for their county.

    The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), started with good and noble purposes, has now become a money laundering racket for left-wing extremism and is in a catatonic fit (and fund-raising frenzy) over Constitutional Sheriffs.

    I don’t know if Sheriff Jones is a Constitutional Sheriff, but the SPLC targeting must mean Sheriffs and especially Constitutional Sheriffs are good for our Constitutional Republic and civil society.

  35. Bizarre: Iran Declares Ownership of Antarctica, Plans to Build Military Base in South Pole
    by Anthony Scott Feb. 15, 2024 1:20 pm358 Comments

    Iran’s top Navy Commander announced that Iran owns Antarctica, and the regime plans to build a military base in the South Pole.

    In a broadcast last fall, Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani stated, “We have property rights in the South Pole. We have a plan to raise our flag there and carry out military and scientific work.”

    Iran’s declaration of ownership of Antarctica came around the same time the Biden admin decided to unfreeze $6 billion in Iranian funds that were being held in Qatar.

    It’s unclear if Iran’s statement was just a blanket threat, considering their action of claiming ownership of Antarctica violates the Antarctic Treaty, which came into force in 1961.

  38. FBI informant charged with lying about Joe and Hunter Biden’s ties to Ukrainian energy company

    Prosecutors said that Alexander Smirnov falsely told FBI agents that executives associated with Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — An FBI informant has been charged with lying to his handler about ties between President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company.

    Alexander Smirnov falsely told FBI agents in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016, prosecutors said Thursday.

    Smirnov told the FBI that a Burisma executive had claimed to have hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” prosecutors said.

    The allegations became a flashpoint in Congress last summer as Republicans demanded the FBI release the unredacted form documenting the allegations as they pursued investigations of Biden and his family. They acknowledged at the time that it was unclear if the allegations were true.

    Prosecutors say that though Smirnov claimed to have had contact with Burisma executives near the end of the Obama administration, it actually took place after Obama and Biden had left office — when Biden would have had no ability to influence U.S. policy.

    “In short, the Defendant transformed his routine and unextraordinary business contacts with Burisma in 2017 and later into bribery allegations against Public Official 1, the presumptive nominee of one of the two major political parties for President, after expressing bias against Public Official 1 and his candidacy,” the indictment said.

  39. Authorities reveal motive behind deadly Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting as cops say 2 youngsters among 3 arrested
    By Social Links for Steve Janoski

    The deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade that killed one and injured nearly two dozen was the result of a personal dispute that exploded into violence — and cops have detained three people who may be at fault, authorities said Thursday.

    Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves emphasized that the Wednesday afternoon attack on the west side of the city’s landmark Union Station had nothing to do with homegrown terrorism or violent extremism.
