GUILTY: Biden Regime Convicts Trump in Banana Republic Case in NY.

The twelve-person jury seated for former President Donald J. Trump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial has handed down a verdict of guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

The trial, which began on April 22 and ran through this past Tuesday, saw seventeen days of witness testimony and arguments. District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the 34 felony charges against the former President, pinned much of his case on the testimony of serial perjurer and disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen.

With the guilty verdict, the former President could face upwards of 130 years in prison. However, it is more likely that Judge Merchan will order Trump placed on probation or house arrest — though even then the sentence could be suspended pending appeal. The sentencing hearing has been set for July 11, just four days before the Republican National Convention.

DUBIOUS PROSECUTION.

Over the last month, jurors heard from a whose-who of seedy New York media and political scene personalities, including David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media, Inc. (AMI) and publisher of the National Enquirer; pornographic actress and adult entertainer Stormy Daniels; seedy Hollywood entertainment lawyer Keith Davidson; and disbarred attorney Michael Cohen, who was deemed “perverse” and a “serial perjurer” by a federal judge. Other witnesses included several figures in the Trump Organization and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

Bragg’s entire case was built on legally dubious grounds, as each of the 34 felony counts for falsifying business records is typically charged as a misdemeanor in New York and has a two-year statute of limitations. However, the Manhattan DA alleged that the creation of the false records was done in the act of committing another crime — though prosecutors never clarified what that crime was. They’ve alluded to a Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign finance violation, a vague accusation of “interference in the 2016 election,” and a federal tax crime. Both infractions are federal offenses and were not pursued by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) nor the (FEC).

BIDEN GOVERNMENT LAWFARE.

From the start, it was clear that the prosecution of former President Trump was part of a broader lawfare campaign by the Biden government to interfere in the 2024 presidential election. Matthew Colangelo, a former attorney with the Biden DOJ, left his lucrative career to instead work as an assistant prosecutor under Bragg, specifically for the Trump case. The National Pulse reported that while serving as a federal attorney, Colangelo engaged in a series of politically biased lawfare campaigns against conservative groups and Republican lawmakers dating back to 2011.

Joe Biden has publicly cheered on Bragg’s prosecution — adding further credence to accusations that the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent’s White House is orchestrating the lawfare campaign against Trump.

BIASED JUDGE AND HIS DAUGHTER.

Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, refused to recuse himself despite a mountain of evidence showing he held personal conflicts with the case. The National Pulse reported extensively on the Democrat-aligned judge and his daughter Loren Merchan‘s ties to national Democrat politicians and anti-Trump dark money groups.

Concerns over Judge Merchan’s motivations and bias culminated with a report by The National Pulse exposing that Loren Merchan’s client, Congressman Daniel Goldman (D-NY), had prepped the prosecution’s star witness, Michael Cohen, for his cross-examination.

A CRIME AGAINST JUSTICE.

Meanwhile, Cohen admitted on the witness stand to stealing upwards of $60,000 from the Trump Organization. Additionally, he was unable to corroborate his story regarding a phone call between himself and former President Trump, where he claimed he confirmed the hush money payment had been made to Stormy Daniels. The disgraced lawyer may also have committed perjury again while on the stand.

Cohen’s credibility as a witness was so lacking that even Judge Merchan acknowledged in his jury instructions that if a juror found Cohen to have lied on the stand, they were to disregard his entire testimony.

Despite Bragg‘s dubious case, Cohen‘s disastrous testimony, and Davidson and Daniels all but admitting they conspired to extort former President Trump, the jury took just 10 hours to reach their verdict.

DATA: Arab Americans Prefer Trump Over Biden by 14 Points.

A new poll from the Arab American Institute reveals that former President Donald J. Trump holds a substantial lead over the Democrat incumbent Joe Biden among Arab Americans in crucial battleground states. The survey, published on Thursday, indicates that 32 percent of Arab Americans in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Virginia would choose Trump, compared to 18 percent for the 81-year-old Biden, reflecting a 14-point advantage for the Republican presidential nominee.

Among the respondents, 25 percent indicated they were “not sure” about their vote, surpassing the number of Biden supporters. Notably, 59 percent of Arab Americans said they had voted for Biden in the 2020 election, signaling a significant shift in voter sentiment.

In state-specific results, Trump leads substantially in Florida, with 44 percent support against Biden’s 8 percent. In Michigan, Trump garners 28 percent compared to Biden’s 15 percent. Pennsylvania shows a 44 to 29 percent lead in favor of Trump. In Virginia, the race is tight, with both candidates at 22 percent, while “not sure” accounts for 23 percent of the responses.

The poll highlights that 79 percent of Arab Americans who identify as Republicans support Trump, while just 46 percent of Arab American Democrats back Biden. Among independents, 27 percent support Trump, 13 percent favor Biden, and 33 percent remain uncertain.

The survey reveals that Biden‘s support is notably weak among young and foreign-born Arab Americans, with just 8 percent of individuals aged 18 to 34 and 10 percent of foreign-born Arab Americans expressing support for Biden. The primary concern for Arab Americans is the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with 60 percent identifying it as their top issue. Only 5 percent of respondents approve of Biden’s handling of the situation.

Illegal Alien Faces Trial for Michigan Murder.

In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a previously deported illegal alien from Mexico, will stand trial for the alleged execution-style murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia. Ortiz-Vite, also 25, faces multiple charges, including felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony possession of a firearm.

A judge confirmed on Wednesday that sufficient evidence exists to proceed with the trial. According to the prosecution, Ortiz-Vite and Garcia were in a relationship at the time of her death. Prosecutors allege that on March 22, Ortiz-Vite made Garcia pull over while they were in her car on U.S. Highway 131. He then allegedly shot her four times — twice in the head, once in the arm, and once in the hand.

Garcia’s body was found on the side of the highway. On March 24, Ortiz-Vite called authorities to turn himself in, reportedly admitting to the crime. “I am calling because I want to turn myself in [for] a murder I committed two nights ago,” Ortiz-Vite allegedly said to dispatchers. “I know what I did was wrong and I will do the time, I just don’t want to die inside.”

Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that Ortiz-Vite had been deported to Mexico in 2020. In addition to the current charges, Ortiz-Vite had a bench warrant issued in 2020 for failing to appear in court on drunk driving and driving with a suspended license charges. His criminal record includes incidents from 2017 and 2018 as well.

Ortiz-Vite remains in the Kent County Correctional Facility without bail and is facing a possible life sentence without parole. The trial date has not yet been set.

Northern Border Crisis: ‘The Worst Is Yet To Come.’

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley (R) has issued a stark warning regarding illegal immigration flows through the northern U.S. border, asserting that the situation, which intensified under the Biden government, is likely to worsen. Wrigley delivered his testimony on Wednesday at a field hearing conducted by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

The hearing, titled “The Biden Border Crisis: North Dakota Perspectives,” addressed how illegal crossings at the northern border are impacting residents and communities in North Dakota. Only Republican lawmakers were present.

North Dakota hosts 18 land ports of entry along its 310-mile stretch of the U.S.’s 5,525-mile northern border, with only three ports operating 24 hours a day. “The situation has deteriorated significantly in recent years, and the current situation is untenable with millions of illegal entrants streaming across America’s southwest border,” Wrigley stated. “North Dakota is already experiencing negative law enforcement impacts due to the Biden Administration’s refusal to shut down the border, but my concern is that the worst is yet to come, both in terms of street crimes and national security.”

Wrigley reported that there were 4,444 migrant encounters in fiscal year 2023, a significant rise compared to 2,127 in fiscal year 2022 and 548 in fiscal year 2021. He also emphasized that preliminary data suggests the upward trend will continue into fiscal year 2024. These encounters include apprehensions of illegal border crossers, individuals deemed inadmissible by U.S. border security, and expulsions.

Wrigley noted a stark difference in drug prices at the U.S. borders, highlighting that fentanyl and synthetic opioids are available for as little as 25 cents per pill at the Southwest border, whereas in North Dakota, a single pill can fetch between $60 and $80, making it a significant draw for drug traffickers.

Here We Go Again: Biden Regime To Push Bird Flu mRNA Vaccines.

The Biden government is set to invest millions in an mRNA bird flu vaccine as concerns grow about a nationwide H5N1 outbreak. Concurrently, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine have developed an experimental mRNA vaccine for H5N1.

Talks between the U.S. government’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority and Pfizer regarding the development of an mRNA vaccine targeting H5N1 are reportedly ongoing, though no formal agreement has been reached yet. Dr. Rick Bright, an experienced immunologist and influenza expert, emphasized the need for broader consideration.

“While it is good to see BARDA considering partnerships with Moderna and Pfizer, it’s also important that they look at additional companies and technologies that could be helpful in pandemic response and even seasonal influenza vaccine impact,” Dr. Bright noted. He mentioned that GSK and Curevac have recently initiated clinical trials for an H5N1 vaccine alongside other companies exploring innovative delivery methods such as oral capsules and skin patches.

Over 68 dairy herds across nine states have been infected with bird flu in the United States. This year, three dairy workers have tested positive for the H5N1 virus. In at least one case, the virus showed a mutation indicating better adaptation for human transmission.

In a press release touting its new experimental bird flu vaccine, the University of Pennsylvania said, “mRNA vaccines are easily and quickly adapted to protect against different strains of influenza viruses, and don’t require eggs for their development.”

However, discussions surrounding an mRNA vaccine for bird flu are sure to cause concern among the public. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines created by Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca have been connected to a host of serious and potentially fatal health risks, including blood, heart, and neurological issues.
