Anti-Trump Prosecutor Linked to Anti-Conservative Lawfare Dating Back to 2011!

Matthew Colangelo, assisting the George Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Donald Trump, oversaw the Voting Section of the Justice Department, which reportedly coordinated with a former affiliate of the disgraced Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during the Barack Obama administration.

Documents uncovered by Judicial Watch in 2011 suggest the Project Vote organization had high-level access to the Voting Section of the Justice Department under Obama. A contemporary report on the findings characterizes the documents as revealing “how left-wing civil rights groups work against Republican or conservative candidates by attempting to leverage law enforcement against them.” Colangelo is listed among the high-level Justice Department officials to whom the groups had access.

The Project Vote group appears to have recommended hires to the Voting Section and to have directed Voting Section resources against conservatives trying to combat voter fraud.

Colangelo is reported to have used the Voting Section to block state election integrity laws on multiple occasions during the Obama administration. Voter ID in South Carolina was among the measures he blocked. Future Donald Trump Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh later ruled he acted unlawfully.

‘PRESSING CONCERNS.’

Multiple employees of ACORN, with which Project Vote was formerly affiliated, were convicted of crimes related to voter registration fraud during the George W. Bush and Obama administrations.

Matthew Colangelo’s resignation from the Department of Justice to join DA Bragg’s team had already seen Republican lawmakers warn the Joe Biden regime may be directly involved in his notionally state-level prosecution of Trump.

“The fact that Colangelo stepped down from a senior DOJ role to join a prosecution team in a city DA office raises some pressing concerns,” commented Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) earlier this month. He has requested “immediate access to all records and communication in relation to the Department of Justice and the Manhattan District Attorney General’s Office process of hiring Matthew Colangelo.”

Ukraine Bombs Crimea… The Region It Claims Ownership Over.

The Kerch Strait Bridge linking Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, to the Russian mainland closed temporarily on Tuesday following a reported Ukrainian attack. The peninsula was reportedly struck by missiles from a U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). The reported strike comes days after the U.S. authorized a $61 billion military aid package for Ukraine.

The bridge, constructed following Crimea’s annexation, was previously damaged by a truck bomb in October 2022. It was damaged again in July 2023. Once critical supply infrastructure for Russian forces, the bridge has become less important as a result of Russian territorial gains linking Crimea to the Russian-occupied Donbass and Russia proper by land.

The bridge’s closure was announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning, local time, but it is now said to be open again.

“Tonight, militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on the Republic of Crimea,” claimed Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together With Russia organization in the Zaporozhye (Zaporizhzhia) region, officially annexed to Russia but only partly under Russian control.

“Russian air defense worked over Dzhankoy and Simferopol. According to latest information, our defenders did an excellent job,” he added.

CRIMEA.

Destroying the Kerch Strait bridge is a key goal of President Volodymyr Zelensky. He has lobbied the Joe Biden regime to supply him with long-range ATACMS capable of striking it for years. However, the Pentagon has hitherto supplied only shorter-range ATACMS, fearing missile strikes deep inside Russian territory could escalate the conflict.

Zelensky has rejected a rumored peace plan proposed by Donald Trump in part because it would involve Ukraine acknowledging Russian sovereignty in Crimea. Most of the peninsula’s population are ethnic Russians and Russian speakers, and it was historically considered part of Russia until Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev transferred it to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954.

Zelensky still insists on reclaiming Crimea as a key war objective despite his 2023 counter-offensive having failed disastrously.

Trump: Netanyahu Has Been ‘Rightfully Criticized.’

Former President Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ‘Bibi‘ Netanyahu has been “rightfully criticized” for his country’s intelligence failures in the lead-up to the Hamas terrorist groups’ barbaric attack against Israel on October 7, 2023. In a lengthy interview with Time magazine, Trump spoke in depth on the nuances of America’s relationship with Israel but didn’t demur on what he thinks are failures on Netanyahu’s part.

“Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7,” the former President said. Earlier, Trump expressed dismay that the Israeli Prime Minister appears to have ignored mounting evidence that Hamas had been planning a large-scale attack. He said: “I would say that what happened on—October 7 should have never happened… They have the most sophisticated equipment. They had—everything was there to stop that.”

FATE OF THE HOSTAGES.

Addressing the grim reality of the fate of the hostages taken by the Hamas terrorists on October 7, Trump explained that the terror group’s disregard for human life has likely resulted in the death of many of those taken. “And I happen to think that on the hostages, knowing something about the enemy, and knowing something about people, I think you have very few hostages left,” Trump said.

ON BENNY GANTZ.

While the former President offered sharp criticism of Netanyahu‘s inaction and the barbaric actions of Hamas, Trump did signal an openness to working with other Israeli leaders. When asked if he’d rather work with a Benny Gantz-led Israeli government, Trump said: ” I think Benny Gantz is good, but I’m not prepared to say that.”

Gantz is a retired Israeli Defense Forces general who served as the country’s defense minister from 2021 to 2022, as well as eventually deputy prime minister. Despite his tenure in the Bennett-Lapid government, Gantz currently serves as a minister without portfolio in the Netanyahu government as part of the War Cabinet formed after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks.

Considered the most prominent opponent of Netanyahu, Gantz has said he will move to topple the unity government unless the Prime Minister secures the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas.

Anti-Israel Mob Seizes and Barricades Columbia University Dean’s Office.

Anti-Israel activists have seized Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, which holds the dean’s office and other important facilities. Palestinian flags now fly from the building, named after Alexander Hamilton, who attended Columbia when it was still known as King’s College, as well as a banner renaming it Hind’s Hall after a Palestinian killed in Gaza.

“Protestors have voiced their intention to remain at Hind’s Hall until Columbia concedes to CUAD’s three demands: divestment, financial transparency, and amnesty,” said the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) group. However, it claims the activists are an “autonomous group.”

The university newspaper reports the occupiers are “moving metal gates to barricade the doors, blocking entrances with wooden tables and chairs, and zip-tying doors shut.” They are said to be “dozens” strong and gained access to the building by breaking windows.

The occupation comes as Columbia has begun suspending students involved in establishing a ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ on campus grounds. Hundreds of anti-Israel students have been arrested across the United States, including Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi.

The Gaza war has become a political headache for Joe Biden, with some Muslims — key to his voter base in swing states like Michigan — now saying they would rather have Donald Trump back in the White House. The 81-year-old has been forced to insist there are fine people on both sides of the campus crisis to retain support.

Donald Trump has further driven the wedge between Biden and his base, arguing the Democrat “HATES Israel and Hates the Jewish people [but] HATES the Palestinians even more” and “just doesn’t know what to do.”

However, some GOP figures, such as Speaker Mike Johnson, have undermined the former president’s efforts by intervening.

Bill Barr Tries To Explain This Trump Thing to the Media (Who Still Don’t Get It).

Former Attorney General Bill Barr recently explained to CNN‘s Kaitlan Collins that the media too often takes the alleged comments of former President Donald Trump too literally. During an interview last week, Collins pressed Barr on allegations made by former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin that Trump had called for a White House staffer to be executed for leaking to the media.

“I remember him being very mad about that,” Barr recalled to Collins. He continued, noting that the former President was angry but not being serious: “I actually don’t remember him saying ‘executing’ but I wouldn’t dispute it, you know… The president would lose his temper and say things like that. I doubt he would’ve actually carried it out.”

Barr explained to Collins that Trump‘s offhanded remarks were made in an effort to blow off steam or as a bit of gallows humor. He said the media and critics often take Trump “too literally.” He reiterated, dismissing the ginned-up concerns of the corporate media: “Having worked for him and seen him in action, I don’t think he would actually go and kill political rivals and things like that.”

Earlier this month, Trump‘s former Attorney General said he’d support his one-time boss in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Barr argued that the choice for him boils down to a “duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country.” He said, “a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide, in my opinion.”

WATCH: ‘Afroman’ Remixes 2000 Hit in Honor of Hunter Biden.

Rapper and singer Afroman has rerecorded his acclaimed 2000 hit “Because I Got High” with lyrics about Joe Biden‘s son, Hunter Biden. The new parody, “Hunter Got High,” pokes fun at the Biden son’s infamous laptop scandal, his drug use, alleged pay-to-play schemes involving his father, and even his art career. The remixed song, released by Baste Records, was posted for viewing on X, accompanied by a detailed music video now available on YouTube.

“He was gonna get his laptop fixed, But Hunter got high,” Afroman sings in a clear reference to Hunter Biden’s notorious leaked laptop saga. “He shoulda let Hillary bleach the whole hard drive. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high,” he sings.

Furthermore, Afroman doesn’t shy away from allegations against the Biden family regarding influence peddling. “Ukraine wasn’t part of the plan, till Hunter got high,” he sings. “China wasn’t that big a fan, till Hunter got high. He wasn’t gonna split it all, with the old big guy. But Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high.”

Afroman also alludes to the cocaine discovery at the White House last summer which resulted in the Secret Service suspending its investigation without identifying an offender: “He thought he had a secret stash, but Hunter got high. The White House got shut down, and we all know why. Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high.”

The song also includes a mockery of Hunter Biden’s art career, a contentious topic that has received criticism from House Republicans who argue potential conflict of interest issues might arise with affluent buyers due to Hunter’s White House connectivity. “Biden never use to start with B-U-Y. Till Hunter got high, Hunter got high, Hunter got high,” sings Afroman.

BREAKING: Judge Fines Trump Less Than The Cost of His Fuel to Fly to New York.

Conflicted New York judge Juan Merchan has fined former President Donald J. Trump $1,000 per breach of his gag order, imposed to prevent the former President from communicating with the public about endemic corruption in the Alvin Bragg and Joe Biden-led case. The total fine equates to $9,000, or less than President Trump spent in fuel to reach New York from Florida on Monday.

Trump’s jet is believed to have used $11,416 of fuel to reach La Guardia Airport following his weekend meeting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Merchan also demanded the social media posts be removed, and further hearings on more potential breaches of the unconstitutional gag order will be heard later this week.

Meanwhile, polls suggest the Biden-led prosecution of Trump may be backfiring, with critical swing state independent voters saying they would be more, not less, likely to vote for Trump if the jury in New York finds him guilty.

WATCH: Seinfeld Lashes Out at ‘Extreme Left, PC Crap.’

Stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld told the New Yorker Radio Hour that the “extreme left” and political correctness are killing comedy, with too many outside committees and other groups weighing in on comic scripts.

“Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it, they need it so badly,” Seinfeld said. He argued, however, that the public is not getting the comedy they need.

“It used to be you would go home at the end of the day. Most people would go, ‘Oh, Cheers is on.’ ‘Oh, M*A*S*H is on.’ ‘Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on.’ ‘All in the Family is on.’ You just expected, ‘There’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.’ Well, guess what? Where is it? Where is it?” Seinfeld demanded.

“This is the result of the extreme Left, PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people. Now they’re going to see stand-up comics because we are not policed by anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we’re off-track, we know instantly, and we adjust to it instantly. But when you write a script, and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups, ‘Here’s our thought about this joke,’ well, that’s the end of your comedy,” he explained.

Seinfeld, whose eponymous sit-com was among the highest-rated shows of all time, has said his upcoming Unfrosted movie will feature a “very funny January 6 parody.”

He also featured in the final season of Seinfeld co-creator Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, with a storyline based around leftist talking points against Georgia election integrity laws.

Muslim Minnesotans to Stand Trial for Defrauding Pandemic Food Program of $250 Million.

The first seven of 70 Minnesotans charged with defrauding taxpayers of a quarter of a billion dollars in pandemic food aid are standing trial Monday. Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, Mohamed Jama Ismail, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, Said Shafii Farah, Abdiwahab Maalim Aftin, Mukhtar Mohamed Shariff, and Hayat Mohamed Nur are accused of taking money that was supposed to feed underprivileged children and allegedly spending it on property, cars, jewelry, and other luxury items.

Nonprofits Feeding Our Future and Partners in Nutrition are among the organizations implicated in a wider scandal. It draws in prominent figures in the Somali community, such as journalist Mohamed Muse Noor. Noor was caught trying to flee to Turkey from Chicago O’Hare Airport in 2022. Eighteen people have previously pleaded guilty.

“The defendants’ fraud, like an aggressive cancer, spread and grew,” prosecutors say of the case.

“By the time the defendants’ scheme was exposed in early 2022, they collectively claimed to have served over 18 million meals from 50 unique locations for which they fraudulently sought reimbursement of $49 million from the Federal Child Nutrition Program,” they added.

Very few meals were served to children, prosecutors say. Defendants allegedly laundered the money through shell companies. They also engaged in passport fraud, taking kickbacks, and flipping houses with the money, among other abuses.

Like the Black Lives Matter movement, the Covid pandemic was a massive vehicle for fraud. China-linked tech firm Womply allegedly defrauded taxpayers of around $2 billion in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans.

Jim Biden and Qatar Are Closer Than You Might’ve Thought…

James ‘Jim’ Biden, brother of Joe Biden, has deeper links to the Qatari government than previously disclosed. Fund manager Michael Lewitt, a former business partner of Jim Biden, testified that Jim directly partnered with one company owned partly by Qatar. A second company part-owned by Qatar backed the loans that disgraced hospital chain Americore paid the Biden brother to facilitate.

Lewitt, Jim Biden, and Platinum Group CEO Amer Rustom courted numerous potential funders for Americore in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Qatar sought friends in the West after being sanctioned by its neighbors for sponsoring terrorism. It became the main focus of Jim Biden’s efforts, according to an Americore executive.

“My family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest levels that I believe would be worthy of the interest of His Excellency,” Jim Biden wrote in a 2017 draft letter to an official at Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund.

Implying his influential brother had a stake in these dealings, he added: “On behalf of the Biden family, I welcome your interest here.”

AMERICORE.

Jim Biden confirmed he “agreed to go to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and China (at my own expense)” in another email addressed to Grant White, Americore’s CEO.

Americore paid roughly $600,000 to Jim Biden. $200,000 of these payments were transferred to Joe Biden, supposedly to repay a loan.

Jim Biden frequently used his brother to promote Americore. He also “spoke of plans to give his brother equity in Americore… and install him on its board.” Americore collapsed in 2019 partly due to his failure to raise money in the Middle East.

Its hospitals suffered dangerous shortages, and it faces criminal proceedings related to $100 million in Medicare fraud.
