Jamaal Bowman loses primary race
So remember the moron New York congressman Jamaal Bowman who after he activated a fire alarm while Congress was in session, triggering an evacuation as Democrats were trying to stall a vote to avert a government shutdown and he knew better so it was done on purpose and than when questioned lied and said he was trying to enter a part of a building via an exit door, and longer way to his destination. Something MTG or Marjorie Taylor Greene exposed. Well the same idiot Jamaal lost a primary challenge, according to projections, in a closely watched race that exposed a bitter rift within the Democratic party over the Israel-Gaza war. George Latimer, 70, entered the race in December at the urging of local Jewish leaders who were angry with Mr Bowman over his vocal criticism of Israel.
Bowman, a former school principal which is another reason to not like him! LMAO... Sorry had too. But he has accused Israel of genocide, which it denies, and repeatedly questioned the Biden administration's support of Israel's government. One group, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or Aipac, spent nearly $15m (£12m) in the primary to unseat the left-wing representative in New York's 16th congressional district. Overall, $24.8m was spent by various groups in the race, making it the most expensive House of Representatives primary in history.
With 88% of votes counted on Tuesday evening, Mr Latimer had won more than 58% of the vote, compared with 42% for Mr Bowman. A long-time former county executive, Mr Latimer has portrayed himself as a steadfast defender of Israel and characterized Hamas as a terrorist organisation that won't negotiate. After his victory, he offered a unity message and took aim at extremist views. "We have to look at the arguments of the far right and the far left, and say you cannot destroy this country with your rhetoric and your arguments." Mr Bowman, who won office in 2020, had accused Aipac of trying to "buy" the race in the district, which spans Westchester Country and part of the New York City borough of the Bronx. But wait isn't this denying the results of an election and saying it's been rigged? Something they're currently trying to throw TRUMP in prison over? Hmmmm...
"We should be outraged when a Super PAC of dark money can spend $20 million to brainwash people into believing something that isn't true," he said. Why cause you lost? LOSER... Last year, US lawmakers formally censured Mr Bowman him for the above mentioned scandal with the Fire Alarm. Or ALARMGATE as some called it. Bowman was seen as a more recent addition to the House’s so-called “Squad”, a group of younger, progressive lawmakers that includes fellow New Yorker, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Another bunch of idiots, and thus makes sense why he's such a moron look who he's friends with! LOL He also was the first "Squad" member to lose an election. Defeated by the more centrist Mr Latimer, the incumbent was significantly behind earlier this month; an Emerson College poll showed Mr Latimer leading, 48% to 31%. Bowman's loss may be a sign of challenges ahead for other members of the left-wing group. Polls show Missouri Representative Cori Bush is neck-and-neck with her more moderate primary opponent.
While it's too early to declare a broader trend for the progressive movement. Other "Squad" members, including Representative Ocasio-Cortez and Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib already have skated through the primaries with definitive victories. And Bowman's odds were likely hurt by a change soon after his election to his district's boundaries, which were extended north into more of New York City's affluent suburbs. Mr Latimer was supported by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while this is cause for concern for conservatives it's not like this is someone who is right wing but at least this he isn't someone as mental unfit to hold office like Jamaal Bowman. Time to get these lunatics out of their seats I don't care who does it, and I HATE Hillary Clinton. Mr Bowman was backed by House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, left-wing Ocasio-Cortez and independent Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Primary races also took place on Tuesday in Utah and Colorado. In Colorado, headline-making Republican Lauren Boebert emerged victorious over five other rivals from her party in the state's fourth congressional district.
Ms Boebert, 37, opted to run in the heavily conservative district after leaving the state's third district in which she narrowly won re-election in 2022. The primary also marked her first electoral campaign since her personal life drew the attention of national media. In one incident, which took place last year, she apologized after being escorted out of a theater performance in Denver after complaints of vaping, singing and causing a disturbance.
Mayor Eric Adams accuser shares graphic details
Mayor Eric Adams accuser shares graphic details of alleged sexual assault in new suit, calls HIM a ‘predator’ in new court papers Monday. Claims are that he exposed himself to her and asked for oral sex in exchange for helping her in her career when he was a transit cop more than three decades ago. Lorna Beach-Mathura claimed she asked Adams for help as he was the leader of the Transit Bureau NYPD Guardians Association which fights for rights of black employees since she’d been passed over for promotion as a black woman in the NYPD in 1993, according to her bombshell lawsuit.
“Defendant Adams preyed on her perceived vulnerability, demanding a quid pro quo sexual favor and sexually assaulting Plaintiff, revealing himself not to be the ‘Guardian’ he purported to be, but a predator,” charges the Manhattan Supreme Court suit. Beach-Mathura who now resides in Florida but at the time lived on Coney Island claims that Adams drove “her to a vacant lot and request[ed] oral sex from her,” and when she refused he put her hand on his “erect penis,” the filing alleges.
As she took her hand away, Adams allegedly “masturbated himself” and “ejaculated on her,” the suit charges. The explosive filling came after Beach-Mathura submitted a notice of claim in November indicating she intended to sue Adams, but did not provide details of her allegations at the time. Adams denied the claims, and said he didn’t even know Beach-Mathura.
“It did not happen. That’s not who I am. That’s not who I am in my professional life. It’s just something that never took place,” he said at the time. The court papers filed Monday say Beach-Mathura started working in the Transit Bureau for the NYPD in 1980 as a Police Administrative Aide, eventually getting assigned to District 34 on Coney Island where she worked from 1981 to 1986. While she “was determined to advance” she said she was repeatedly passed over for promotions as a black woman who spoke out when she felt wronged, the court papers state.
The promotions she did receive usually came with a “punishment,” like when she was moved up the ladder in 1984, but transferred to District 2, forcing her to commute an hour, according to the filing. So when Beach-Mathura ran into Adams who was a senior member of the Guardians group which actively recruited her she told him about the issues she had rising up the ranks, the suit details. Adams offered to drive her to her Coney Island home after her shift that evening, picking her up in “an official police issued car” and noting he was “on duty” though out of uniform, the lawsuit alleges. Adams allegedly began driving the wrong direction toward the Hudson River, and eventually stopped in “a remote, vacant lot” causing Beach-Mathura to grow “nervous and scared,” according to the suit. Adams said he wanted to “concentrate” on what Beach-Mathura had to say and didn’t want to be “distracted” by driving, the filing alleges.
Beach-Mathura explained her problems at work, prompting Adams to say he could help her but he “‘also needed some help,’ and began rubbing his penis through his clothes with his hands,” the suit claims. Adams told her he “needed a blow job” and repeatedly tried to convince Beach-Mathura to perform oral sex on him, before unzipping his pants and pulling out his “erect penis,” the lawsuit alleges. A “sickened and outraged” Beach-Mathura refused, but he then grabbed her hand and demanded she “give [him] a hand job,” the suit alleges. She replied “NO” but that didn’t stop Adams from allegedly mastubating himself and then ejaculating on her thigh and stocking, the lawsuit claims.
After, Adams “gruffly informed [Beach-Mathura] that he had to get back to work” and dropped her off at a subway station that didn’t go to Coney Island, the filing claims. “It was clear that he was angry at her for refusing his sexual demands,” the suit alleges. At the time, Beach-Mathura kept quiet about the incident, fearing further retaliation. “Plaintiff knew that there was no way for her, a divorced mother of young children, to safely report Defendant Adams through official channels if she wanted to keep her job,” the suit states.
She encountered further career issues when she finally received a promotion in March of 1994 but was transferred to the Department of Probation “which caused her to lose her seniority and [be] placed in a non-supervisory position,” the court papers say. The city carried out mass layoffs a few months later and Beach-Mathura was forced to accept a severance package and leave, the suit says. Beach-Mathura brought claims of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, sexual assault and battery variously against Adams, the Transit Bureau and the NYPD. She is seeking unspecified damages.
“I am proud to file this complaint on behalf of my client, a woman whose strength astonishes me,” Beach-Mathura’s lawyer, Megan Goddard, said in a statement. “She knew that filing this lawsuit would cause her significant personal challenges but she did so nevertheless, because she believes sexual abusers must be held to account, no matter who they are. Her fearlessness and quest for justice are as inspiring as they are important,” the statement continued. New York City Corporation Counsel Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix called the allegations “outrageous” and said the mayor “fully denies” the claims.
Donald J. Trump Fills docs to have DC interference case quashed!
POTUS 45 Donald J Trump was charged in August under a four-count, 45-page (45 Pages 45 President! Coincidance?) Indictment that accuses him of conspiring to defraud the U.S. by preventing Congress from certifying Democrat President Joe Biden's so called victory and to deprive voters of their right to a fair election. Which is actually what Biden did in actuality as well rational people know by now. So the Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith is leading the prosecution team. "The core conduct alleged in the indictment relating to the presentation of alternate electors had a historical basis that dates back to 1800 and spans at least seven other elections," now Trump is seeking to have his Washington, D.C. election interference case quashed, calling it a "vindictive prosecution." Much of his submission, filed early on Tuesday, hangs on whether alternative electors are a criminal conspiracy or a symbolic act of defiance that is rooted in American history. Trump arrives to Trump Tower on October 23, 2023 in New York City. He is now seeking to have his federal indictment quashed, based on historical precedent. Much of his submission, filed again Tuesday.
"There are no other prosecutions in American history relating to these types of activities. The allegations in the indictment involve constitutionally authorized activities by President Trump as Commander in Chief, as well as speech and expressive conduct by the First Amendment." and it gies ib tge say that "Given this context, it is no surprise that in the months following the 2020 election, senior government officials rejected an investigation of President Trump as unfounded and potentially unconstitutional," the filing stated.

"There are no other prosecutions in American history relating to these types of activities.

"Given this context, it is no surprise that in the months following the 2020 election, senior government officials rejected an investigation of President Trump as unfounded and potentially unconstitutional," the filing stated. "Expressive conduct" in First Amendment law has long been used to protect non-verbal free speech, such as an anti-war student wearing a black armband to school or Jehovah Witness children refusing to salute the American flag in class.
Trump is now saying that the alternate electors who signed off a Trump victory across the U.S. were engaged in symbolic free speech to show their disapproval of Biden and the way that the election was run. Edward B. Foley, a constitutional law professor at Ohio State University, said that there is a long history of alternate electors in American politics that stretches back hundreds of years. Writing for the policy think tank, Just Security, Foley said that Trump supporters signing off on his supposed victory in seven battleground states was "a fool's errand, since there never was a chance that Congress was going to recognize Trump as the winner."

Writing for the policy think tank, Just Security, Foley said that Trump supporters signing off on his supposed victory in seven battleground states was "a fool's errand, since there never was a chance that Congress was going to recognize Trump as the winner."
As Foley points out, Trump's Vice President, Mike Pence, acting as Senate president, would not even open the envelope that contained the confirmation from the alternative electors. "Mike Pence, as Senate president, would not even let these pro-Trump submissions be opened in the joint session of Congress because, without any claim of any backing from any part of their state's government, they could not be acknowledged as even asserting to be official electoral votes entitled to be considered by Congress," Foley wrote.
So was the action of Trump's supporters merely symbolic free speech and is there, as his lawyers claimed in their submissions, a long historic precedent? Foley notes that Florida was hotly contested in the 1876 election between Republican candidate, Rutherford Hayes, and Democrat, Samuel Tilden. Florida's attorney general, a Democrat, purported to certify Tilden the winner of the state. On the same day, however, Republican electors in Florida voted for Hayes, backed by a certification from the state's canvassing board.
Later, Florida's judiciary and legislature would act to undo the canvassing board's certification. There were no indictments of any of those involved as it was considered a legal dispute. "In South Carolina, by contrast, there was no one with any colorable claim of official authority in a position to certify Tilden the winner. Still, Democrats there were claiming that he had won" and still "submitted their spurious electoral votes to the Senate president". "None of these South Carolina individuals (as far as I know from my research) were criminally investigated or prosecuted for making this assertion," Foley wrote, noting that a similar dispute occurred in Vermont in 1876.
Other disputes occurred throughout American history, such as both sides claiming to sign off on the winning candidate in Hawaii in the 1960 election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Foley said that such acts, done by both Democrats and Republicans, are distinct from cases of forgery, which have occurred in elections in the past. "Openly asserting that one is the duly appointed elector of state, even when that claim is utterly without merit[...]is to make an argument about one's status under the law. It is not an attempt to dupe recipients with counterfeit papers," he writes. Judging from Tuesday's court submissions, that is the logic that will get Trump and his co-accused released from the election interference charges.
"Nobody is above the law" - NY A.G. Letitia James
"Nobody is above the law" says someone who oops has not just been lying on Trump but this disgusting immoral crook New York A.G. Letitia James and an apparent dark money loan for over $750k Democrat crackhead known as a fake attorney general, likes to use the words “nobody being above the law.” Of course, she says this about former President Donald Trump.
When it comes to herself, however, that is a different story. Previously hidden documents show that James may have a money problem oh oh! See she has what is known as a "dark money problem." Laura Loomer brought the receipts to her piece on Substack.
Think about this like other politicians among both parties, including the current occupant of the White House, James has managed to pad her bank account while working most of her life in the public sector, which isn’t intended to be a path to great wealth.
That hasn’t stopped lawmakers such as Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), and many others from accumulating tremendous wealth. Somehow, living on a public servant’s salary, James could afford a sweet four-story brownstone in the borough of Brooklyn, which she purchased in 2001, now believed to be worth several million dollars.
Over the years, James has had several, shall we say, illegal renovations done to her 296 Lafayette Ave. home. In 2007, she was cited for a “hazardous” violation by the NYC building department for improper scaffolding installation around her home, nor did the scaffold workers possess proper identification. Probably those illegal “migrants” James is constantly wailing about protecting.
In 2011, despite owning a home worth seven figures, James negotiated a deal to lower her monthly mortgage by crying poverty and applying for a Home Affordable Mortgage Modification Agreement. In the affidavit, among other claims, James said she was “experiencing a financial hardship, and as a result, I am in default under the Loan Documents, and I do not have sufficient income or access to sufficient liquid assets to make the monthly mortgage payments now or in the future.”
In 2017, James, then a candidate for New York Attorney General, who campaigned on a promise to “get Trump,” re modified her several mortgages into one loan for $625,000. However, a mysterious affidavit was attached with a note from an attorney for Wells Fargo Bank, Willard F. Miller.
That note referenced an additional loan issued previously in the amount of $770,000 on May 21, 2016, by Christopher J. French and Kristen French. The affidavit was attached and recorded with her latest mortgage consolidation filed in Nassau County, New York.
Loomer noted that there doesn’t appear to be any financial connection with Christopher or Kristen French anywhere in the United States, leading one to believe these names were an alias to hide the appearance of so-called dark money in Letitia James’ bank accounts.
Upon conducting research, were there any financial or professional ties between James and individuals in New York bearing the surname French who were connected to the Democratic Party in New York?
One possibility is a man named Christian J. French, the COO of WRNN, a regional news network that serves New York City. He is a long-time hater of former President Trump. U.S. partners of WRNN include Al Jazeera English.
Moreover, Christian French’s brother hosts a far-left talk show, “Richard French Live.” At the same time, Christian is allegedly a board member of several leftist organizations that do business in New York City and New York State.
Christian French’s LinkedIn profile shows he is president of the board of directors for Hudson Link. On its website, that organization calls itself a “progressive” organization that: “provides college education, life skills, and reentry support to currently and formerly incarcerated people so they can make a positive impact on their own lives, their families, and communities, resulting in lower rates of recidivism and higher rates of employment, community regeneration's, cohesiveness, and reciprocity.”
In what is a likely connection to James, one of Hudson Link’s Board of Directors members is Annette Johnson, who at one time served as the Assistant Attorney General in the New York State Attorney General’s Office, where Letitia James now serves. Another connection involves another board member for Hudson Links, Mayo Bartlett, the principal attorney at the Law Offices of Mayo Bartlett, PLLC. He regularly appeared on “Richard French Live” on WRNN as a legal panel member.
On June 15, 2022, May appeared on a legal panel with James while he displayed a banner boasting of his appearance on the panel with her prominently on his firm’s website. Richard French, on the RNN-TV website, brags about his ties to former President Barack Obama:
“The Emmy Award-winning program is a forum that counts politicians, pundits, and personalities as contributors ranging from President Obama to the biggest newsmakers from the national to regional level. A multiple Emmy and state broadcaster awardee, Richard came to broadcasting from the world of politics.” He is also an avid Trump hater, with most episodes on his YouTube channel featuring anti-Trump content.
The $770,000 loan that James has been burying and hiding on her financial disclosures is nowhere to be found in the 34-page 11/3/2017 mortgage agreement recorded with the Office of the Register in New York City’s Department of Finance. Nor did she mention the $770,000 loan on financial disclosure forms filed with the state election commission during her campaign for NYS Attorney General. So while she says “Nobody is above the law.” This is becoming clear that she thinks that SHE Letitia James is above the law.
Again friends remember don't throw stones when you're home is build and you live in a glass home. Loomer has the receipts and published a copy of James’s 2022 financial disclosure statement, which only addressed the $625,000 mortgage from Wells Fargo, not mentioning the origins of the $770,000 loan from French.
Now the chart here shows that she's got a ton of cash, and so why is she crying she's broke? She's lying and so the question is did James use a fake name on a sworn and signed affidavit, which is illegal!!
Trump AD released about elections... Plus NYC Trial update!
This video is 100% must watch... These liberals are such hypocrites and they don't want us USA Citizens to see this. This will tell you how much hypocrisy and lying happening with these liberals. There is no nudity, profanity or Covid talk in this video... This is 100% facts.
This video shows you how dishonest these people on the left are... IF Facebook, YouTube or any of these leftist loaded sites takes this video down remember there is nothing but pure FACTS here. This is them again putting you in a place where they're suppressing your ability to make up your mind and participate in a real fair election. The left cheats, and they complain when they don't cheat enough to win and the actual election is won by they lose too.
But as we know if they win all of a sudden they claim the election was the election was the cleanest and most fair ever and that the right is lying and so the left RIGS it, cheats and win they lie, lie, lie and make up charges to bury the competition now. This is what they're doing to TRUMP who clearly won both in 2016 & 2020. Now that he's up so much in the 2024 polls look how they're doing him in these fake trials! As we're finding out more as the trial in NYC just started this is a sort of a DO OVER trial for a case already tried against Trump where he won.
There is no Victim, no essential crime committed by Trump.. The trial is because the city of New York has a crazy lunatic DA in Latisha James who had made her entire platform when she ran to get TRUMP anyway possible. She found nothing dirty on him so she is trying to do this DO-OVER trial. This is illegal under the constitution. Also 80% of these charges against Trump maybe more are passed what a "STATUE of Limitations" on even looking into this has passed.
Some how they're claiming this is a "civil business fraud" The banks got paid, there are no victims, nobody other than Latisha James pushing this and the Obama friendly liberal leftist Judge.
The atmosphere in his courtroom is somewhat unusual he even posses for the camera in an odd way the first day of the trial which shows he's doing this as a clown not taking it serious. He also let the Cameras record than claimed he didn't know they were even as he says this we have footage of him posing for the cameras he said he didn't know where there. Total clown show.
As of that he's now banned video of the trial and even issued a gag order on Trump to keep him from speaking in public, and the Cameras are now not allowed so we the public can't see what's happening. So much for a "Transparent Case" why don't they want us to view this on video? Think about this folks...
Interrupting a long day of testimony, Judge Arthur Engoron issued the order, which applies to all parties in the case and pertains to verbal attacks on court staff. It came after Trump recirculated a critical social media post about Engoron’s principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield.
The post included a photo of Greenfield with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., posing for a picture at a public event. Trump, the Republican front-runner for president in 2024, has repeatedly cast the lawsuit and trial as a political attack by New York’s Democratic attorney general, Letitia James.
Engoron had suggested on Monday that testimony about Trump’s 2011 financial statement might be beyond the legal time limit applicable to Attorney General James’ lawsuit. It alleges that Trump and his business chronically lied about his wealth on financial statements given to banks, insurers and others. Other words this is the basis of her case and it's past the statue of limitation and CANNOT be used against Trump even if he had committed any sort of crime which he did not as anyone who says he inflated the numbers on how much his property is worth. This is an illogical case because this is how negotiations work with anyone who has ever bought a property or had one valued you put the number you think you're property is worth, and negotiate with the bank til a number is agreed on. So in other words this trial is made up a charge that does not exist but if this is pushed for a conviction by these crooks on the left, it will open a book on them being able to go over anyone who negotiates with a bank whom the liberals don't want to beat them.
Arthur F. Engoron, who is presiding over Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud trial, is an independent and thoughtful if somewhat quirky jurist who has served for 20 years in New York City Civil and State Supreme Court.
The 74-year-old judge, a former cabby with a shock of white hair and a penchant for cracking jokes from the bench, will effectively be judge and jury, deciding the fate of Mr. Trump’s New York businesses, which make up a large portion of his real estate empire.
That’s because the case was brought under a little known but powerful New York state law requiring that the matter be adjudicated at what is known as a bench trial, meaning that no jury will hear the case. The judge not only applies the law, as judges do in jury trials, but also decides the facts, a task that a jury would otherwise perform.
And that means that Justice Engoron, a Democrat, will play a far more prominent and consequential role than a judge would at a jury trial, not just during the proceedings, but in the ultimate outcome unless he is overturned on appeal.
Last week, before the trial began, Justice Engoron issued a decision that itself could have a devastating impact on Mr. Trump and his family business. He ruled that the former president had consistently committed fraud by inflating the value of his assets by billions of dollars. The ruling could strip him of control of some of his flagship New York properties, including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street. Think about this folks if this is done to him they will again set a new unconstitutional and fraud precedent to do this to anyone.
Justice Engoron has been overseeing the matter for three years. When the state attorney general, Letitia James, was conducting her civil investigation into Mr. Trump’s business practices, the judge resolved disputes over evidence. Then, after she filed the resulting lawsuit a year ago, the judge began hearing arguments and ruled on pretrial litigation.
While Justice Engoron’s demeanor verged on the jovial in the earlier stages and he still teases the lawyers and allows himself the occasional comic digression the proceedings have become increasingly contentious.
Last year, he held Mr. Trump in contempt, fining him $110,000, and later, Mr. Trump unsuccessfully sought to have Justice Engoron taken off the case. Last week, in a social media post, Mr. Trump called the judge “deranged,” and on Monday, he said he was “rogue” and should be disbarred.
Now, as a result of threats, court security officers pick him up at his home in the morning and drive him to the courthouse, officials said. At the end of his workday, the officers drive him home. Which is a joke nothing TRUMP said was threatening and clearly this Judge is as Trump puts it "deranged" and let me add here. A clear lunatic.
Justice Engoron nonetheless seems to maintain his sense of humor. A fan of pop culture references who also revels in puns, he quoted from the Marx Brothers movie “Duck Soup” in a footnote to underscore his position that some of the defense’s arguments were essentially designed to tell him to not believe his own eyes.
“As Chico Marx, playing Chicolini, says to Margaret Dumont, playing Mrs. Gloria Teasdale,” the judge wrote, “well, who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?”
Justice Engoron was appointed to the New York City Civil Court in 2003 and was elected he ran unopposed to the State Supreme Court in 2015. Before his time on the bench, he served as a law clerk to a State Supreme Court judge in Manhattan.
The atmosphere in his courtroom is somewhat unusual. Beyond the levity he fosters, he discourages members of the public from standing, as is typical, when he enters. He also gives broad latitude to his principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield, perhaps because he himself has served in that role. Ms. Greenfield keeps the trains running on time with a firm hand, in contrast to the judge’s generally genial demeanor.
But Justice Engoron seems to be losing his patience with Mr. Trump. He has consistently ruled against the former president, and his decision last week had withering words for the defenses put forward by Mr. Trump’s lawyers. He called the conduct of the defendants, who include the president’s two adult sons and the family business, “obstreperous” and their arguments “bogus,” saying they had ignored reality when it suited their business needs.
“In defendants’ world,” he wrote, “rent-regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air.”
At a hearing two weeks ago, the judge, addressing one of the former president’s lawyers, pounded his fist in apparent frustration, saying, “You cannot make false statements and use them in business.” This judge clearly is in favor of holding Trump in contempt for anything, and refusing him a clear, transparent, and fair trial. One which is already being done illegally as it is. Making his actions clear, and dangerous for all would be defendants in the future of this man. He's clearly corrupt.
NYC Trial footage:
The judge is still expected to rule on six other claims in the lawsuit.
DAY 2 - 10/03/2023
Donald Trump and his family business continue to stand trial in New York on Tuesday in a civil fraud case that could deal a major blow to the former US president’s real estate empire.

“Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is expected to be arrested next week and charged with a misdemeanor in the alleged groping of a former aide,” the Post reported. To be exact…
The Post was told by a source that “the anticipated charge is the result of a probe by Albany County District Attorney David Soares”
“A spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration confirmed that a misdemeanor complaint against Cuomo “has been filed in Albany City Court,” they add. I posted some tweets about this for you all to watch, and laugh as this couldn’t happen to a more disgusting person. He’s a complete shit show on to his own, and it’s about time he was taken out. The funniest part he’s become a target of the same progressive left who he helped against TRUMP! Cause once again this proves that these people will turn on each other just how the SITH apprentice one day always turns on their evil Darth masters. But honestly this couldn’t happen to a more qualified asshole unless we’re talking about Joey Crack or Hunter Biden.
JUST IN – Former NY Gov. Cuomo charged with forcibly touching aide, expected to be arrested next week.

President Donald Trump Scores 1st Amendment Win in Fake News Meme Case
So we know that POTUS45 Donald Trump is no longer on Twitter so the lawsuit that he filed last week against the social media service for supposed censorship certainly won’t change that I’m sure. Regardless, the former president can enjoy a First Amendment victory in court. A New York judge has just dismissed a privacy lawsuit against him over the retweeting of a meme. In what appears to be a first, the judge finds the meme to be “newsworthy.”
The meme in question comes from Logan Cook, who goes by the internet handle “CarpeDonktum.” Make sure you all point and laugh at this idiot who made this hate video towards Trump. Here’s what this idiot did. Cook the idiot in question found a video of a white toddler running after a black toddler and stuck a chyron reading “breaking news” over it. The captions read, “Terrified Todler [sic] Runs From Racist Baby” and “Racist Baby Probably A Trump Voter.” First why did Twitter, and Facebook not ban that original hate video? But they banned Trump when he played the video in it’s entire form, and showed what it was nothing but a hit job by some asshole.
The video Trump had remade then fades to black, and reads, “What actually happened.” The toddlers run at each other and embrace. A new caption: “AMERICA IS NOT THE PROBLEM…FAKE NEWS IS. IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FAKE NEWS DUMPSTER FIRES.”
After Trump tweeted the video, which led Twitter to add a “manipulated video” message, the parents of the toddlers filed suit against both Trump and Cook and alleged that the exploitation of the childrens’ image had violated New York privacy and publicity rights law (N.Y. Civil Rights Law §§50 and 51) and was both an intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
New York Supreme Court Judge David Benjamin Cohen decides dismissal is warranted. “Initially, as defendants assert, the video was newsworthy,” he writes. “To promote freedom of expression, the meaning of ‘newsworthiness’ has been broadly construed and includes ‘not only descriptions of actual events … but also articles concerning political happenings, social trends, or any subject of public interest.’ … It is common knowledge that one of the principal tactics of Trump’s presidential campaigns, as well as his presidency, was to incessantly attack the mainstream media as purveyors of ‘fake news,’ including his claim that the media exaggerates the extent of racial division in this country. Thus, the video’s references to ‘fake news’ and its depiction of race relations, however distorted, are clearly newsworthy.” IN Other words Trump was right about the fake media, and how they exploited his 4 years as President with fake racist crap like this video just to hurt the President in the eyes of black voters.
Cohen adds that any reasonable viewer would realize the content wasn’t real. “Since the video is therefore a satire, albeit one which some may consider to be rather distasteful, this Court is constrained to find that it is not actionable,” continues the decision. Trump not only sought dismissal but looked to take advantage of New York’s recently amended anti-SLAPP statute to recover his legal fees.
The judge won’t go that far. Cohen does agree this suit qualifies as a SLAPP meaning a frivolous piece of litigation aimed at interfering with the former president’s First Amendment rights. And while Cohen ultimately disagrees with the plaintiffs’ argument that Trump used the video as a means of advertising his presidential campaign, the judge nevertheless dodges an attorney fee award by saying plaintiffs had a “good faith basis” for their arguments and that the parents “should not be penalized by the draconian language set forth in” the anti-SLAPP statute.
Will they end up paying the Trump lawyer fees? Probably not as they can’t give Trump that big of a win now could they? I mean I’m shocked in NY with how Liberal they’ve become that Trump is getting this victory! Maybe the tide in NY is turning? Who knows but we all know it wasn’t Trump that locked down the state, and it wasn’t Trump that put sick covid patients with elderly folks causing countless people to die who didn’t need to. That was the DemocRATS in charge, and especially one named Andrew “Brother of Fredo” Cuomo.
NYC restaurant owners threaten to BAN Gov Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio!
So we can all say we remember when Andrew Cuomo you know Fredo Cuomos big brother went on TV Saying Trump couldn’t walk on the NEW YORK STREETS Again? Well looks like Karma is starting to kick in folks.
Check out this quote… ‘If we can’t feed our families, we won’t feed yours’: NYC restaurants owners threaten to BAN Gov Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio from eating at their establishments if indoor dining isn’t reopened.
Yes friends some rightfully angry New York City restaurants owners have that as a new message for Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo: again… ‘If we can’t feed our families, we won’t feed yours.’ That’s the slogan of thousands of owners who are threatening to ban the politicians from eating at their establishments in response to a blanket ban on indoor dining. So no help from our crooked elected leaders, and more shutdowns? How are we supposed to survive? Oh wait they have billions for other countries, and Sri Lanka (officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka) needs millions to refirbish a ship. Let that sink in folks… “A Democratic Socialist Republic” but what bussiness is it of ours to spend money on a ship repair and only give out our Citizens $600 ? This is not right, and I’m happy Trump called this out.
What we need is $2000 checks to every American Citizen ONLY! Period! Nothing more… The rest is just “Green New Deal” B/s IMO! Now according to Michael Quinn, whose family runs the famous Feltman hot dogs brand in Coney Island. ‘These people need to survive and they spend thousands of dollars doing what they need to do. They’re just not going to make it,’ Quinn told Fox News.
‘And it’s not about politics at this point – whether you’re left or right or conservative or Democrat. It’s economic Darwinism at this point. It’s survival of the fittest.’ Quinn argued that Cuomo’s move to close indoor dining already working only at 25 percent capacity since earlier this month flies in the face of science, given that it accounts for less than two percent of COVID-19 cases, according to data from New York state itself.
In comparison, 70 percent of cases have been linked to household gatherings, which become more frequent when indoor dining is unavailable, Quinn said. Restaurant owners have been up in arms for months about New York’s crushingly rigid and constantly shifting coronavirus restrictions which have forced countless businesses to close while others sit on the brink of closure. Quinn founded the Facebook group ‘NYC Restaurants Open’ as a forum for owners to communicate when the city went into lockdown back in March.
Frustrations among members of the group have only continued to rise over the course of the following nine months as they scrambled to keep up with Cuomo and de Blasio’s rules by paying out of their own pockets with little help from the government.
The move to close indoor dining just as temperatures plunged came as a final straw for many, said Quinn, who voted for Cuomo and describes himself as a Liberal Democrat. He emphasized how restaurants have spent thousands of dollars on equipment to keep staff and customers safe, including new ventilation systems, barriers between tables and heaters for outdoor spaces.
‘I think these politicians are coming up with rules without using science, without using logic, basically these restaurant owners have to be on their toes because they’ll get a ticket for something they didn’t know,’ he said. ‘This is not the right size outdoor igloo. This is not the right size ventilation system we need.’ ‘The mayor and the governor closed down indoor dining. They cost us money. We have food that goes to waste. A case of gloves costs us almost $100 depending on which gloves you’re buying, and I’m going through five boxes a day just to make sure I’m incredibly careful, to make sure my community is safe, my staff is safe,’ Fraye told Fox News.
‘We follow every rule we can to make sure we are preventing transmission and at the same time earning a living to try to make it to next year.’ Fraye’s first location in Columbus Circle has been closed since March due to a lack of foot traffic in the area, while his second location in Chelsea remains open for takeout only. He said the Chelsea location was already suffering when the state allowed 25 percent capacity indoors earlier this fall, only to shut it down again.
‘It was hard enough to survive with just a limited capacity,’ he said. ‘They threw us a bone and said oh, you can operate at 25 percent. That’s not enough to cover your labor, your food costs, supplies and the bag the food goes into.
‘I used to have 15-20 employees at my old store, and I’m down to five to seven.’ Despite his grievances, Fraye said he won’t join his colleagues in banning Cuomo or de Blasio because he can’t afford to lose any business. Cuomo extended a small reprieve to restaurants where indoor dining is suspended on Tuesday by postponing the sales tax deadline until March 2021.
But Quinn and Fraye say that gesture is too little, too late. ‘Give us something to give us a fighting chance to really stay alive,’ Fraye said. ‘When I talk to other restaurant owners and people in the business, there’s a lot of us that look each other in the eye and say: “We’re not going to be here next year.”
‘I spoke to a bunch of people saying: “I’m just going to try to make it to the end of the year, and see if it looks like it’s going to turn a corner and get better.”
‘But now we all see that it didn’t turn a corner for the restaurant industry, it actually did an about-face and jumped off a cliff.’ Cuomo sparked renewed outrage last week when he asked the federal government to bail out New York City restaurants and claimed he was doing ‘everything he could’ for them just days after closing indoor dining.
‘I hope Washington provides relief to restaurants. We’re doing everything we can,’ he said. His only explanation for the ban is that the rate of transmission in New York is climbing and because New York City is the most densely populated area in the state, the risk of outbreak is highest.
But New York City currently has the second lowest test positivity rate in the state over a seven-day rolling average. As of Wednesday the rate stood at 4.7 percent, compared with 5.5 percent statewide.
On Friday, Cuomo warned that a total shutdown – which many are fearing – is not inevitable as he pleaded with New Yorkers to stay vigilant in slowing the spread of the virus. Adding to the governor’s concerns is the emergence of a new mutant strain of coronavirus that he believes has already arrived in New York after spreading like wildfire through Britain. The new mutant strain is said to be 70 percent more infectious than what has been seen before. It has sent the UK into panic mode and has prompted more than 40 countries to cut off flights from Britain.
Speaking on a call with reporters on Tuesday, Cuomo said he’d told hospital systems across the state to start performing the ‘complex’ test that identifies the strain. No cases of it have been identified in the US yet but Dr. Anthony Fauci and other science experts say it is only a matter of time and is probably already here. Cuomo agreed with them on Tuesday and said he wanted to weed it out.
The warning came as the governor announced that more than 38,000 coronavirus vaccines have already been administered in New York a week after 175,000 doses from Pfizer arrived in the state. Another 346,000 doses from Moderna were expected to arrive this week.
At least we know this about de Blasio’s Troll like daughter… She said one thing truthfull.
Chris Cuomo’s ratings plummet as Americans tire of brothers’ antics
We the people have spoken with our remote controls and they’re sick of the Chris “Fredo” and Andrew Cuomo show. Chris laughs it up with his brother during an almost daily “check-in” on his CNN show since the coronavirus started ravaging New York and America wants it to stop.
At first, the antics was successful, and Ratings even peaked at an an all-time high with 862,000 daily viewers on March 30, in the 25-54 age demographic. Since then, according to the Daily Mail, the ratings for Cuomo Prime Time have tanked, plummeting by 50 percent since Chris recovered from COVID.
While all the cable news shows have seen ratings drop due to COVID exhaustion, Cuomo has particularly grated with his “frequently silly and un-substantive interviews” with his older brother — in which they have fought over who their mother loved more; Andrew’s “double barrel shotgun” nose, and Andrew’s “single status.”
The segments have been panned as ratings stunts done for laughs while thousands of New Yorkers died of the coronavirus. The Cuomos were slammed again last week by Queens lawmaker Eric Ulrich, who is demanding the City Council investigate Gov. Cuomo’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes, where over 5,800 elderly have perished.
“Thus far, the Governor has avoided answering tough questions about his decision. His recent appearance on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time was equally disgraceful,” Ulrich fumed.
‘I hate bullies’: Bicyclist verbally attacked by Chris Cuomo fires back
“Journalism that truly aims to restore trust in media would hold Andrew Cuomo to account for these missteps,” David A. Graham wrote in the Atlantic this week. “The problem comes when the efforts to juice ratings start to get in the way of accurate journalism that holds officials accountable.”
“The View” host Meghan McCain also blasted the bros on Twitter for the nursing home crisis, retweeting journalist Nicholas Fondacaro who posted a clip of the Cuomos and said: “Instead of asking his brother, @NYGovCuomo why he decided to pack COVID patients into nursing homes, killing untold amounts of people, @ChrisCuomo pulled out oversized, prop cotton swabs to mock how big his brother’s nose was. This is the state of ‘journalism’ on @CNN.”
Viewers have also been upset with hair-trigger tempered Chris Cuomo’s hypocritical behavior during the pandemic.
At the end of April, CNN aired a posed video of Cuomo “re-emerging” from his quarantine in the basement of his Hamptons mansion, despite Cuomo having been out and about in East Hampton a week earlier and getting into a fight with a “jackass loser fat-tire biker” who had asked why an infected unmasked Cuomo was breaking quarantine.
DON LEMONHEAD EXPOSED! [Photo!]
DON LEMONHEAD as I call him just offered a six figure settlement to the man he is being accused of sexually assaulting at a bar, and while at first it seemed that the accusations against Don Lemon were a bit shaky! A photo of the night with Lemon sticking his hands down his pants has surfaced, and well now it seems that things are more credible than those made against Brett Kavanaugh. If you remember the media circus during the Kavanaugh hearings, none of the women accusing him of sexual assault had a witness that could verify their story and claims. Don Lemon of CNN and his alleged sexual assault not only has a witness named GEORGE GOUNELAS, but it seems that Lemon offered the man a six figure settlement to keep quiet about Lemon’s grabbing of the man’s penis.
Now why would Lemon offer the man a six figure settlement if he didn’t do it? If there’s a #Metoo movement for all women victims of sexual assault, shouldn’t it include males too? Don Lemonhead you have been EXPOSED!
Remember the claim was that Lemon After put his hand down his shorts ‘vigorously rubbed his genitalia’ and ‘shoved his index and middle fingers into [the man’s] mustache. Gounelas claims he saw the incident at Murf’s Backstreet Tavern, and now between pig April Ryan, Fredo Cuomo and Don Lemon, they know Trump is winning the election in 2020. They are acting out, and CNN is imploding… I’m loving every moment of it. Lemon’s own arrogance will be the end of him.
In an exclusive interview, George Gounelas, who managed Dustin Hice at the Old Stove Pub in July of 2018, detailed what allegedly occurred on the night of the bizarre encounter at Murf’s Backstreet Tavern, which is located in the prestigious Hamptons area east of New York City. Gounelas is named in the suit filed by Hice. |
