I don't think they will find any procedural grounds for doing so.

Most objective legal observers, including several Trump critics, agree the case was a flimsy house of cards that will almost certainly be quashed on appeal. If you are really interested, it is easy enough to find articles that explain why.

It was obvious the only purpose of the case was to get any type of conviction to try to influence the election. Thankfully, most voters were wise enough to see through the charade.

And the ones I pay attention to are lawyers and have a different opinion. It's not enough to say you don't like it and it shouldn't have happened, you have to prove there was procedural error.

Donald Trump did not expect this opponent - the USA has already accumulated an incredible 36 trillion dollars in debt. If Donald Trump implements his election program exactly, the debt will be much higher. But there is a problem: international investors are becoming less and less interested in US government bonds.

Judge Cannon has withdrawn her objection to the release of Jack Smith’s volume one of his report to the DOJ and it will be released to the public by tomorrow. This will be the DC election interference case findings.

Here’s the report.

I don't usually agree with Cuomo but he makes some excellent points here.

When you have a terrible record like the Democrats, you play the hand you are dealt, even if it does make the Democrats look incredibly inept and stupid. Kane himself has been buddies with Bill Clinton. Do we need to go further ? When Pete Hegseth was questioned, it wasn't about the threats and challenges the U.S faces but rather his personal life. These hearings clearly demonstrate what the Democrat party has become.

Meanwhile, The other Idiot in the room, Adam Schiff, was reminded by Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearing for U.S Attorney General that he himself had been censured in the Senate for reckless comments and conjecture. I think Pam Bondi will be a force and is the right person for the job. The video is below.

On other fronts, A recall is in the works to remove Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for the absolute incompetence and lack of leadership they both have shown during the Wildfire crisis in California. 10% of the voting public or 1.3 million votes are needed for the recall. These signatures will show how serious California is about changing the status quo and conditions in California for the better. It's all on them.

That is the constant Dem moral stratagem, the sex crime gambit

Denmark is in the worst foreign crisis since the Mohammed crisis in 2005/7. This after a 45 min. conversation between the Danish Prime Minister and the coming President of the USA. Here Trump stated that he has no intention of pulling ashore as far as Greenland is concerned. Trump is determined to get Greenland-Either through tariffs on Danish goods or military intervention.

There has been crisis meeting among the party leaders in the Danish Parliament.

It's hard to stay neutral in this case.

^ If Trump decide to use military force, it would mean the end of NATO.

It would be interesting to see if USA will intervene in Greenland, Panama and Canada.

I'm sure that Canada will reject any conflict with USA - Due to lack of rooms for American prisons.

Indeed. If he would militarily intervene, it would mean a NATO
member attacks another NATO member, this would triggering article 5, means: if an attack on one means an attack on all - somerthign that since decades gets repeated by every NSATO generla secretary - , it would translate into: USA attacks all Europe.



Putin grins. He then would get what he always wanted: US out of Europe, and NATO done and finished.



We all lnow what it really is about: de factor the US altready have strong military control over Greenland. Its not about strategic goals, its about the ressources in the arctic instead and containing Chinese and Russian spreading in the northpolar region. If he goes throguh with this stunt, it means Trump wants to steal these ressources. In which case he would nto be one bit better than Putin or Xi. Which he probably would take as a compliment...


I wonder if the American "system" would let him pass through with this stunt? America has taken foreign lands before, i wonder how legal those opportunities were and how they would, in good or bad, compare to this case.



Lets hope it does not get eaten as hot as it was cooked.



But if it comes to the worst, even I would turn absolutely hostile towards the USA then. Pirates I have no tolerance for.

I'm not a psychologist so I can't tell if a leader is only using strong words or if he mean business.
