    The Drill Down – February 25, 2024

  2. This whole Tucker interview of Bret Weinstein is fascinating and, frankly, scary. At about the 60 minute mark Weinstein puts forth his interesting hypothesis. It is that people who received more than three mRNA injections produce something called IGG4. The purpose of this compound is to turn down the immune response to allergens.

    When it is then pointed out that the Chinese did not vaccinate their population with mRNA, and so have not had their “system edit”, we see how our populations have been fundamentally separated on a biological level. The hypothesis considers the possibility that western populations–who were so strenuously coerced into the injections–may have been prepared to succumb to a new enemy bioweapon introduced into our countries.

  4. Donald Trump appeals $454 million judgment in New York civil fraud case
    MICHAEL R. SISAK
    Mon, February 26, 2024 at 9:00 AM CST·5 min read

    NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump has appealed his $454 million New York civil fraud judgment, challenging a judge’s finding that Trump lied about his wealth as he grew the real estate empire that launched him to stardom and the presidency.

    The former president’s lawyers filed notices of appeal Monday asking the state’s mid-level appeals court to overturn Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 verdict in Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit and reverse staggering penalties that threaten to wipe out Trump’s cash reserves.

    Trump’s lawyers wrote in court papers that they’re asking the appeals court to decide whether Engoron “committed errors of law and/or fact” and whether he abused his discretion or “acted in excess” of his jurisdiction.

    Trump’s appeal paperwork did not address whether Trump was seeking to pause collection of the judgment while he appeals by putting up money, assets or an appeal bond covering the amount owed to qualify for an automatic stay.

    Messages seeking comment were left with Trump’s lawyers and the New York attorney general’s office.

    Engoron found that Trump, his company and top executives, including his sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., schemed for years to deceive banks and insurers by inflating his wealth on financial statements used to secure loans and make deals. Among other penalties, the judge put strict limitations on the ability of Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, to do business.

    The appeal ensures that the legal fight over Trump’s business practices will persist into the thick of the presidential primary season, and likely beyond, as he tries to clinch the Republican presidential nomination in his quest to retake the White House.

    If upheld, Engoron’s ruling will force Trump to give up a sizable chunk of his fortune. Engoron ordered Trump to pay $355 million in penalties, but with interest the total has grown to nearly $454 million. That total will increase by nearly $112,000 per day until he pays.

    Trump maintains that he is worth several billion dollars and testified last year that he had about $400 million in cash, in addition to properties and other investments. James, a Democrat, told ABC News that if Trump is unable to pay, she will seek to seize some of his assets.

    Trump’s appeal was expected. Trump had vowed to appeal and his lawyers had been laying the groundwork for months by objecting frequently to Engoron’s handling of the trial.

    Trump said Engoron’s decision, the costliest consequence of his recent legal troubles, was “election interference” and “weaponization against a political opponent.”

    Trump complained he was being punished for “having built a perfect company, great cash, great buildings, great everything.”

    Trump’s lawyer Christopher Kise said after the verdict that the former president was confident the appeals court “will ultimately correct the innumerable and catastrophic errors made by a trial court untethered to the law or to reality.”

    “Given the grave stakes, we trust that the Appellate Division will overturn this egregious verdict and end this relentless persecution against my clients,” Trump lawyer Alina Habba said.

    If the decision stands, Habba said, “it will serve as a signal to every single American that New York is no longer open for business.”

    Trump wasn’t able to appeal the decision immediately because the clerk’s office at Engoron’s courthouse had to file paperwork known as a judgment to make it official. That was done on Friday, starting a 30-day window for Trump to pay up or file an appeal and seek a stay.

    During the trial, Trump’s lawyers accused Engoron of “tangible and overwhelming” bias. They’ve also objected to the legal mechanics of James’ lawsuit. Trump contends the law she sued him under is a consumer-protection statute that’s normally used to rein in businesses that rip off customers.

    Trump’s lawyers have already gone to the Appellate Division at least 10 times to challenge Engoron’s prior rulings, including during the trial in an unsuccessful bid to reverse a gag order and $15,000 in fines for violations after Trump made a disparaging and false social media post about a key court staffer.

    Trump’s lawyers have long argued that some of the allegations are barred by the statute of limitations, contending that Engoron failed to comply with an Appellate Division ruling last year that he narrow the scope of the trial to weed out outdated allegations.

    If Trump is unsuccessful at the Appellate Division, he can ask the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, to consider taking his case.

    The appeal is one of Trump’s many legal challenges. He has been indicted on criminal charges four times in the last year. He is accused in Georgia and Washington, D.C., of plotting to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. In Florida, he is charged with hoarding classified documents.

    He is scheduled to go on trial next month in Manhattan for falsifying business records related to hush money paid to porn actor Stormy Daniels on his behalf.

    In January, a jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her after she accused him in 2019 of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. That’s on top of the $5 million a jury awarded Carroll in a related trial last year.

    Court Strikes Down California Ban on Billy Clubs, Citing 2nd Amendment Rights
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on February 26, 2024 by F Riehl, Editor in Chief
    Fruit of Caetano and Bruen, Short Clubs are Protected by Second Amendment,

    In a significant legal ruling, a court in California has overturned the state’s ban on billy clubs, citing Second Amendment protections. The decision in Fouts v. Bonta(S.D. Cal.) was made by Judge Roger Benitez in the Southern District of California, following a lawsuit brought by plaintiff Russell Fouts against California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

    The law in question made it a crime to possess or carry a billy club, defining it as a weapon primarily used for self-defense. However, Judge Benitez’s verdict emphasized that the case wasn’t about the state’s authority to regulate the use of such weapons for unlawful purposes.

    Historically, billy clubs, also known as batons, billysticks, or truncheons, have been associated with law enforcement and private individuals as less-lethal options for self-defense. The term itself is broad, encompassing various objects like metal batons, wooden sticks, or broken golf club shafts.

    In the court’s opinion, the Second Amendment guarantees citizens the right to defend themselves, not only with firearms but also with less-than-lethal weapons.

    Judge Benitez highlighted the practicality of billy clubs for individuals who may not wish to carry firearms, stating, “Some prefer less-lethal weapons. A billy is a less-lethal weapon that may be used for self-defense.”

    Moreover, the ruling emphasized the constitutional protection afforded to citizens to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes. The decision resonated with the principle of self-preservation, allowing individuals to defend themselves against potential threats during daily activities such as walks or hikes.

    The verdict marks a significant development in California’s firearm laws and underscores the ongoing debate over Second Amendment rights. While the decision opens the door for the legal possession of billy clubs, it also raises questions about the balance between public safety and individual liberties.

    The case represents a milestone in the interpretation of the Second Amendment within the context of contemporary weapons and underscores the evolving nature of constitutional rights in modern society.

    Hawaii’s Butterfly Knife Decision & ‘Spirit of Aloha’ Both Offensive to Freedom
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on February 26, 2024 by David Codrea
    “The right of the people to keep and bear ARMS shall not be infringed.”

    “Hawaii will get a chance to reinstate a ban on butterfly knives after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Thursday to review a decision that determined the weapons fall under Second Amendment protection,” Courthouse News Service reports. “The court voted to grant Hawaii’s request for an en banc rehearing of a conservative three-judge panel’s ruling in August 2023 that ended the state’s 30-year ban on butterfly knives…”
    The case filed on behalf of plaintiffs James Grell and Andrew Teter, both adult male residents of Hawaii and citizens of the United States by attorneys Alan Beck and Stephen Stamboulieh, was reported on in April 2019 by AmmoLand Shooting Sports News.

    It challenged the State of Hawaii’s ban on butterfly knives (or balisongs), knives “having a blade encased in a split handle that manually unfolds with hand or wrist action with the assistance of inertia, gravity or both.”

    “Rather than ask, as Bruen and Alaniz require, whether butterfly knives were commonly used for self-defense, the panel instead asked whether Hawaii had proven that these weapons were not in common use for some lawful purpose,” the state charged in its petition.

    First, we’re hardly talking about new technology. From Blade’s “History: The Disputed Origins of the Butterfly Knife“:

    The Philippines is often cited as the birthplace of butterfly knives, where “balisong” is a more appropriate term. Legend has it that the balisong knife has roots that go back to around 800 AD. This style of knife could be opened quickly with one hand and easily used as a weapon. It proved a common choice for self-defense and utility uses… Another claim is that the butterfly knife was invented in France between 1500 and 1700. The reason for this is the “Pied Du Roi,” which means “foot of the king” and is a French measurement tool that dates to the 1700s. The “Pied Du Roi” greatly resembles a butterfly knife. This tool has been pictured with measurement handles and a blade that folds out on one end. It looks like a butterfly knife, but could it be considered the first one ever made?

    “Common use,” as cited in Miller, applied to “the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. ‘A body of citizens enrolled for military discipline.’ And further, that ordinarily when called for service these men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time.”

    What that means, even if the government doesn’t want to admit it, is unless “in common use at the time” is held to mean by soldiers in the field, with real “weapons of war,” as opposed to a sporting arms popularity contest, the Second Amendment will be nullified as a last-resort defense against foreign and domestic tyranny. And if the sticking point here is knives that can be opened with one hand, consider the M-724, “the current issue and perhaps the most widely recognized switchblade knife in the world. It is still in use by US military pilots, paratroopers and rescue crews, as well as NATO forces around the world.”

    Then again, we’re talking about the Ninth Circuit, which appears to be doing everything it can to keep the clock running in the hopes that Democrats will win the presidency in November and begin reshaping the Supreme Court to reverse its rulings on guns in Bruen and abortions in its overturning of Roe v Wade. We’re also talking about the state of Hawaii, which, along with being the most corrupt state in America, rivals them all in terms of being anti-gun.
    The state Supreme Court is openly defying the U.S. Supreme Court by denying a citizen’s right to bear arms, citing, among other irrelevant, incompetent, and immaterial reasons, the legally undefinable and unenforceable term “spirit of Aloha.”

    The court’s 53-page ruling said Hawaii’s history “does not include a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat the deadly aims of others.”

    “The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally-mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities,” the ruling said.

    That ruling “harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment,” the Courthouse News Service report elaborated. “The spirit of Aloha clashes with a federally mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities.”

    If they’re intent on imposing primitive spiritualism on all, that’s a pretty clear violation of the First Amendment prohibition against the establishment of religion. As for relying on the “law” when Hawaii was a kingdom, first off, this nation was founded after throwing off the shackles of a king, and the Founders codified in the Constitution that “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
    With the Bruen standard, we can look back to the time of ratification to confirm founding intent. History, tradition, and text become problematic with Hawaiian precedents, however, as they “had no written language prior to Western contact, except for petroglyph symbols.”

    All other kinds of Bill of Rights protections would have to be given up as well, particularly the Eighth Amendment’s forbidding of “cruel and unusual punishment,” as the kapu tradition relied on it:

    If a rule was broken or an offense was committed it was considered kapu and this was strictly enforced. The offender was often sentenced to death even if the kapu was committed unintentionally. Individuals within the community were assigned the role of ‘ilamuku—law enforcer—and were responsible for tracking down kapu breakers.

    People were put to death by clubbing, stoning, strangulation, drowning, or burning. The system and its application were relentless. There was no questioning, trial, or compassion offered for offenders, they were immediately put to death. Often the accused would take their own life before the ‘ilamuku got to them.

    And Hawaii AG Anne Lopez, a defendant/appellee in the butterfly knife case, and all the Demanding Moms who want you disarmed in the spirit of Aloha should keep in mind is that the most extreme kapu restrictions applied to women:

    Ai kapu loosely translates to ‘sacred eating’ and it was strictly prohibited for men and women to eat together at any time.

    Not only were women prohibited from dining with men, but what they were allowed to eat was regulated as well. The most sacred foods were off-limits to women. This prohibition included 67 of the 70 varieties of pork (who would have imagined there were that many), bananas, coconuts, taro, and certain fish.

    As if declaring that women could not eat these delicious foods wasn’t bad enough, they weren’t even allowed to be a part of their preparation or in many cases even touch them. Women were also not permitted to enter the home while their husbands were eating. The system went even further, by prohibiting women from having anything to do with other applications of these foods. For example, they could not make or use coconut rope.

    Otherwise, see the horrible execution methods above. And perhaps most unwoke of all, there were no provisions with these binary bigots for “identifying” as anything else and eating with the fellas.
    We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people.

    It’s hard to see how continued open rebellion by inferior courts can continue to be tolerated, especially when the “legal” doctrines they rely on are so clearly political, un-American, offensive to freedom, and primitive.

    “I am hopeful that the en banc panel will agree with the panel opinion’s well-reasoned opinion,” attorney Beck, speaking of the panel that determined Second Amendment protections apply to butterfly knives, tells AmmoLand News. “If not, then this case will be a good candidate for Supreme Court review.”

  7. More Trouble for Fani: Fulton County DA Fani Willis and Lover Nathan Wade Exchanged 11,865 Text Messages Before He Was Hired to Prosecute Trump – And They Both Lied About Affair Under Oath

    Fani Willis and Nathan Wade are prosecuting President Trump and 18 associates in Fulton County for filing false papers and making false statements to the courts. Now Fani and her man have been caught doing the same thing, except they lied about it under oath in court! – Jonathan Turley

    The latest revelations against Fani Willis and Nathan Wade could not be more problematic for the two lovebirds. A new court filing revealed this past weekend that Fani and Nathan exchanged 11,865 text messages in the months leading up to their famed case against Donald Trump and 18 associates for allegedly lying about the 2020 election.

    It’s obvious Willis and Wade lied under oath about the length of their affair. Now the two lovers could and should face charges for committing perjury. This could be the end of the line for Fani and Nathan.

    Horrifying footage has captured the moment a reckless man driving at shocking speed, killing a mother and daughter walking home from a concert. Even more infuriatingly, the suspect allegedly responsible is already walking free thanks to a soft-on-crime judge.

    KSDK reported the women killed in a crash early Wednesday morning were 42-year-old Laticha Bracero and 21-year-old Alyssa Cordova. They were in town for a Drake concert in St. Louis on February 14, which let out shortly before the women were struck while walking near Enterprise Center.

    Video capturing the moment the incident occurred went viral on social media Monday. You can see the two women crossing the street when a speeding Jeep Grand Cherokee blasts through a red light and takes them out.

  10. Hermit of Loreto’s 1985 Premonition: President Donald Trump Will Lead America Back to God
    by Jim Hoft Feb. 25, 2024 10:00 pm724 Comments

    On February 18, 2017, First Lady Melania Trump led the audience in The Lord’s Prayer at a rally in Florida.

    Melania was speaking at a thank you rally to the American people less than a month after the Trump Inauguration.

    President Trump won the White House with the backing of the American people and shocked the world.

    The following day after the Florida rally, Father Giacomo Capoverdi shared a fascinating story about the Hermit of Loreto, Italy who predicted the Donald Trump presidency back in the 1980s.
    The holy man of Loretto shared a premonition that President Donald Trump would help bring America back to God.

    This was decades before Trump even decided to run for US President. So at the time, it sounded like an outlandish prediction.

    The Roman Catholic Man reported:

    Father Giacomo Capoverdi shared a fascinating story of his encounter with the Hermit of Loreto (the author of the Pieta Prayer Book), at the site of the Holy House of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    In this video, Father Capoverdi shares an amazing premonition this Hermit of Loreto had all the way back in the 1980s about Donald J. Trump. Please watch as Father shares this incredible story.

    President Trump brought peace to the Middle East with the Abraham Accords. President Trump placed three new justices on the US Supreme Court who later overturned the Roe v. Wade abortion law that ruled the land for decades.

    Now, despite the unprecedented persecution against him, despite the outrageous fines for doing business in New York City, despite the demons swirling around him hoping to destroy him, President Trump fights on – for the people and America.

    Maybe the Hermit of Loreto was right.

    The country needs President Trump right now. Please pray for this courageous, selfless man.

  11. How a migrant influx is causing tensions in one of the most Hispanic cities in the U.S.

    Less than a week after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and catching a flight to Florida, Joseliel Montilla, his wife and their five-year-old daughter waited on a cold February morning outside the Department of Children & Families outpost in Hialeah where their family members had taken turns spending the night — not because they had nowhere else to go, but because they wanted to beat the daily rush on the office where new arrivals apply for refugee benefits with the state.

    Montilla, originally from the province of Artemisa, says his family fled “misery and persecution in Cuba.” Now, they are making a new home in Hialeah, following in the footsteps of Montilla’s sister, who arrived here two years prior and rented a two-bedroom apartment with her husband on the east side of the city to accommodate their recently arrived relatives from the island.

    Amid a historic rush on the border, the family is part of an unquantifiable group of migrants who have recently chosen to settle in this majority-Cuban city of roughly a quarter-million people in northwest Miami-Dade County. But their presence is increasingly becoming a source of division, with Hialeah’s mayor laying blame on new arrivals for some of the city’s problems, including a lack of affordable housing.

The next step will be to injure or kill police and politicians. Step 3 will be going after the rich that aren’t supporting the Democrats.

  13. Meet the Experienced Democrat Operative the Biden Regime Placed In Fani Willis’s Office to Target President Trump – Operative Is Reportedly the “Brainchild” Behind the Collusion
    by Cullen Linebarger Feb. 26, 2024 3:40 pm84 Comments

    The Biden regime’s collusion with corrupt Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis runs even deeper than believed, with an experienced Democrat operative reportedly serving as the “brainchild” behind it.

    Breitbart News today uncovered explosive information that the Regime planted the operative inside Willis’s office to target President Donald Trump.

    Sources told Breitbart News that the Regime planting the operative presents a “strong argument” that they have interfered in the 2024 presidential election.

    Breitbart reports the operative in question is Jeff DiSantis, who serves as the county’s Deputy District Attorney and has far more extensive professional experience than your usual county employee.

    The incident has shaken the local community and government officials alike, as investigations into the matter are now in full swing. “In the early hours of Saturday, February 24, an explosive device was detonated outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office building in Montgomery,” Marshall stated, emphasizing the gravity of the situation but also the relief that the explosion did not result in any physical injuries to office staff or bystanders.

    The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) has taken the lead on the investigation, signaling the seriousness with which this incident is being treated. The authorities are currently piecing together the events leading up to the detonation and are actively seeking information from the public that may assist in identifying those responsible.

    Attorney General Marshall’s office has issued a call to action, urging anyone with information about the explosion to come forward. “The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately,” Marshall announced, highlighting the collaborative effort between the public and law enforcement in addressing this criminal act.

    Investigators to probe Alabama Supreme Court ruling as possible motive

    One thing investigators will be looking into is if the explosive device is an attack in response to a state Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos could be considered children under a state law or Attorney General Marshall’s reaction.

    Marshall announced last week he does not intend to prosecute in vitro fertilization providers or families.

    In a statement, Katherin Robertson, chief counsel in the Alabama Attorney General’s Office wrote:

    “Attorney General Marshall has no intention of using the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision as a basis for prosecuting IVF families or providers.”

    The court’s ruling, treating the embryos the same as a child or gestating fetus under the wrongful death statute, raised questions about what legal liabilities clinics could face during IVF processes, including the freezing, testing and disposal of embryos. Three in vitro fertilization providers in Alabama paused their services in the aftermath of the ruling.

    At the Fertility Institute of North Alabama, Dr. Brett Davenport said his clinic will continue providing IVF. But he also urged state policymakers to act and remove the uncertainty for providers.

    “What we do could not be any more pro-life. We’re trying to help couples who can’t otherwise conceive a child,” Davenport said.

    The court ruled only that embryos are covered under Alabama’s wrongful death statute, said Mary Ziegler, a legal historian at the University of California, Davis School of Law. The court did not say embryos had full constitutional rights, she said, or at least not yet.

    “I think people in Alabama are rightly expecting that this is the tip of the iceberg though, and this ruling will lead to more down the road,” Ziegler said. She also said anti-abortion groups and politicians have been pushing to get some sort of ruling through the federal courts “that a fetus is a constitutional rights holder.”

    “It’s not just about in vitro, and it’s not just about Alabama. It’s part of this nationwide movement too,” she said.

  16. Houthis Knock Out Underwater Cables, Disrupt Communications Between Arabian Gulf and Asia
    by Paul Serran Feb. 26, 2024 5:40 pm126 Comments

    The aerial campaign waged by Joe Biden’s DoD and his Western allies against the Shia Islamist group Ansar Allah – popularly known as Houthis – seems not to be working at all.

    Not only the attacks against ships in the Red Sea are intensifying, but it now arises that the Houthis are also waging war at the bottom of the sea – and we are not talking about simple underwater drones.

    Israeli press reports that four underwater communications cables between Saudi Arabia and Djibouti have destroyed in recent months.

    The attacks are presumed to have been waged by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

    Jerusalem Post reported:

    “The successful targeting of the four cables, which are believed to belong to the AAE-1, Seacom, EIG, and TGN systems, marks a serious disruption of communications between Europe and Asia.”

    The disruption will mostly affect the Gulf states and India.

    “The AAE-1 cable connects East Asia to Europe via Egypt, connecting China to the West through countries such as Pakistan and Qatar.”

    The Europe India Gateway (EIG) cable system connects southern Europe to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, the UAE, and India, while the Seacom cable connects Europe, Africa, and India.

  17. EXCLUSIVE: Hazmat Unit Descends On Donald Trump Jr.’s Home After He Received Death Threat, White Powder [PHOTOS]

    Former President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., had an unexpected surprise Monday after he was sent a letter containing white powder and a note with a death threat, causing a hazmat unit and firefighters to arrive at his Florida home.

    “It’s just become a little bit too commonplace that this sort of stuff happens,” Donald Trump Jr. told the Daily Caller. “Clearly, if this happened to a prominent Democrat it wouldn’t be tolerated and would drive news coverage for weeks. The media would blame all Republicans and force them to answer for it, But since it’s me, radical haters on the left will largely get a free pass and the media will barely flinch.”

    “It doesn’t matter what your politics are, this type of crap is unacceptable,” Donald Trumpl Jr. continued. “This is actually the second white powder substance envelope that’s been mailed to me. The last time we had this happen, it was during my father’s presidency and my then-wife opened it up with my kids by her side. So, it’s just sad that we live in a society where politics and the left’s hatred of my father would drive people to do such crazy things, but that’s where we are unfortunately. ”

    • This early in the war the left will be trying to avoid causalities in most of their attacks, they are going to be trying to scare people without hurting anyone whose friends and relatives would be angry. However you have to remember the Las Vegas shooting and the Murder in Portland, both were deliberate murder carried out by left wing terrorists. Probably as proof of concept attacks to show the people who fund them that they are capable of carrying out such attacks.

      If the election is even semi honest Trump will win, this will mean that the Inauguration on January 21, 2025 will be a very nasty time. The left will be showing that what a mass insurrection riot is like.

      Brace yourself for massive violence during the election season, the Conventions of the political parties and through out all of Trumps second administration. Pray for what is left of Western Civ, pray that Trump picks a good VP that will run and govern like Trump is going to, remember it is all on the line, we either win this war or freedom and individual liberty dies for a long time.
