AOC Wants to Seize Trump’s Assets 👀

Far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Jake Tapper that authorities should seize President Trump’s New York assets if he continues to argue that the $454 million judgment against him in the Empire State is unfair and worthy of appeal. She suggests that Trump may try and get his hands on cash through “political corruption,” so seizing his property is safer.

“I think that what we are dealing with politically is the much larger and much more grave and serious pressure of having this judgment against Donald Trump and him being in this degree of debt and the financial pressures that he is under and what he is subject to do in order to obtain those assets,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN.

“I actually think that there is risk in not seizing these assets and the open window that exists in him trying to secure these funds through other means,” she added. “We’ve seen a lot of interesting transactions happening with Truth Social and other means. And there’s a very real risk of political corruption.”

Her appearance comes just days after she claimed in Congress that “RICO” (racketeering and corruption) is not a crime, while RICO is specifically being used to go after President Trump and his supporters in Georgia.

EU Begins Negotiations to Absorb Muslim-Majority Bosnia.

The European Union (EU) has officially initiated negotiations to absorb Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of Europe’s only Muslim-majority states.

“Congratulations! Your place is in our European family. Today’s decision is a key step forward on your EU path,” declared Charles Michel,  European Council president, Charles Michel, the President of the European Council.

Bosnia is still suffering the effects of the wars that wracked the Balkans during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the government is at odds with the Serb minority in the separatist-minded Republika Srpska region. It could, therefore, prove to be one of the EU’s most controversial acquisitions, with the bloc still requiring it to meet various demands on corruption and electoral and judicial reform before accession.

EU leaders have also called on Brussels to “swiftly” move ahead with preparing the ground for Moldova and Ukraine, one at war and both home to substantial ethnic Russian populations, to accede.

All such member states would eventually enter into the Free Movement migration regime if admitted to the EU, and gain access to a budget that has become increasingly strained since Brexit.

Nationalist Party Introduces NATO Exit Bill: ‘Repressive Apparatus of the USA.’

Bulgaria’s right-wing nationalist party Vazrazhdane (Revival) has introduced legislation to withdraw Bulgaria from NATO the same month as the country’s 20th anniversary of membership in the alliance. The party argues that continued membership in the organization is detrimental to Bulgaria’s national security.

“NATO is the repressive apparatus of the USA, where the member states are anything but equal partners,” reads the argument for the bill. Vazrazhdane claims that U.S. weapons and support are fueling the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, and Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The bill has zero chance of adoption in parliament, however Vazrazhdane‘s goal in introducing the bill is to bolster voter support ahead of the European elections in June.

As with other right-wing populist and nationalist parties across Europe, support for Vazrazhdane in Bulgaria is growing. The party is expected to take around 13 percent of the vote in the EU elections and around 10 percent of the vote in national parliamentary elections. The party placed third in Bulgaria’s latest parliamentary elections in April 2023.

An analysis performed last year found that around a third of Europeans now vote for right-wing populist parties.

Biden Inquiry Exposes Possible CIA Plot to Protect Hunter From Prosecution.

Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill say they’ve uncovered evidence that President Joe Biden’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) may have interfered with attempts by government investigators to speak with Patrick Kevin Morris, a crucial witness in Hunter Biden’s tax case. Hunter previously admitted to receiving substantial loans from Morris — a Hollywood entertainment lawyer — to cover about $7 million in back taxes and legal fees.

A whistleblower has provided evidence to lawmakers indicating the CIA summoned two of the lead government attorneys investigating Hunter Biden to Langley, Virginia, ahead of an interview with Morris. According to the individual who has spoken with the House Judiciary Committee, the CIA actively blocked officials from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and DOJ from interviewing several witnesses during the original Hunter Biden investigation.

“Recently, the Committees received information from a whistleblower alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) intervened in the investigation of Hunter Biden to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators from interviewing a witness,” Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to CIA director William Burns. He added: “We therefore write to request relevant material from the CIA.”

In recent days, the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family’s business activities has expanded — with new avenues of investigation into family members who used access to the then-Vice President to secure lucrative business contracts and trade on Biden’s name. House Republicans allege that the President’s son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden, were wildly successful in using their access to Joe Biden to secure valuable contracts with foreign business interests.

Left-Wing Mag Admits Trump NYC Fine is Politically Motivated.

Leftist magazine The New Republic (TNR) admits that the fine Judge Arthur Engoron handed former President Donald Trump for alleged business ‘fraud’ in New York is exceptional and politically motivated.

Writes TNR:

Is New York State treating Donald Trump differently from other real estate scofflaws in requiring him to disgorge $454 million by Monday? Yes. Would another such person who lied to banks and insurance companies about the value of his real estate holdings become the target of a major investigation by the state attorney general? Probably not. Was Judge Arthur F. Engeron, in handing down last month his $454 million judgment against Trump, trying to banish Trump from New York’s real estate industry? Possibly so.

TNR then goes on to quote a number of sources explaining how and why Engeron’s move is unprecedented. Clifford Robert, one of Trump’s lawyers, explains that the fine is “’the definition of an unconstitutional Excessive Fine and a Taking’ because, should Trump win on appeal, he’ll have suffered ‘harm that cannot be repaired.’”

Rich Lowry of the National Review observes that, “Tish James has used the power of the state to attempt, with some success so far, to destroy [Trump’s] business that he’s built over decades and humiliate him personally.”

Even the Washington Post, TNR points out, ponders if it is “fair to require Trump to post a bond of this magnitude to be able to appeal the judgment against him?”

TNR’s concession follows a similar admission from The New York Times that Trump’s bond in the case is “impossible” to pay.

Of course, putting Trump in an impossible situation may well have been the point. Attorney General Letitia James is already moving to seize Trump’s real estate assets.

‘Make New York Great Again!’ – Trump Posts Special Message to Hometown.

President Donald J. Trump posted a special message to New York on Friday afternoon, railing against the leftist judge Arthur Engoron, as well as Attorney General Letitia James.

“Arthur Engoron is a Rogue Judge who was intimidated by the big, nasty, and ugly mouth of [Letitia] James, considered by many to be the WORST Attorney General in the U.S. She is a Low IQ individual who campaigned for Governor, using my name, and got TROUNCED,” Trump characteristically stated.

“She and her PUPPET Engoron, who valued Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, have destroyed all business prospects for New York State, that is already dying, or dead. But have no fear —When I become the 47th President, we will MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!” he concluded.

The message comes on the heels of Trump remarking that he was going to be making a “big play” in New York state, with a possible Make America Great Again rally slated for the Bronx neighborhood, and even Madison Square Garden.

Ronna McDaniel Works for MSNBC Now. Seriously…

Former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has signed a deal to appear as a political commentator on NBC and MSNBC news programs. McDaniel resigned as chairwoman of the Republican Party earlier this month after she faced mounting criticism over questionable expenditures and lackluster fundraising. North Carolina Republican chairman Michael Whatley and former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who will serve as co-chairs, have replaced McDaniel.

NBC and MSNBC are billing the hire of McDaniel as the addition of a critical conservative voice who will represent the supporters and views of former President Donald Trump. “It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” said NBC news editor Carrie Budoff Brown in a memo to staff. She added that Ronna McDaniel will provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.”

MSNBC RONNA.

McDaniel will also appear on MSNBC, providing insights into the 2024 presidential election. The leftwing news network has become the hub for anti-Trump voices in the corporate media. MSNBC’s on-air talent has a long history of making absurd claims and pushing pro-Democrat propaganda.

In mid-March, MSNBC host Joy Reid accused conservative lawmakers of “demagoguing” over the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly by Venezuelan illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra. Reid added that “migrant crime is negligible,” so the legislation — in her opinion — isn’t needed at all.

‘AKIN TO DEFEATING HITLER.’

Mike Barnicle, a seemingly immovable fixture on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, has compared the efforts to defeat Donald Trump to World War II and the fight of American GIs against Adolf Hitler. Other MSNBC guests have backed restricting First Amendment rights, smeared Christians, and attacked rural Americans as ‘cultists.’

The move by McDaniel marks the latest attempt by a Republican Party official to cash in on a media contract. Speculation continues to mount that Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) is retiring mid-term from Congress to pursue a contributor contract with a major corporate news network that some believe is CNN.

House Passes Democrat-Backed ‘Minibus,’ MTG Files Motion to Vacate Against Speaker Johnson.

Moments after the House of Representatives adopted a ‘minibus’ containing the second package of appropriations bills to fund the U.S. government and avoid a partial shutdown starting this weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a ‘motion to vacate’ with the House clerk. While Rep. Greene’s resolution is not in the House bill ‘hopper,’ she has not formally entered her motion on the floor, meaning — for the time — it is not privileged and will not require House leadership to act within two legislative days on a vote.

The passage of the appropriations package was the impetus for the ‘motion to vacate’ move, according to Rep. Taylor Greene. She told the press outside the Capitol that House Speaker Mike Johnson had blocked Republican attempts to amend the appropriations package and violated the 72-hour rule, which would give lawmakers time to read the legislation. The Georgia Republican said she has the backing of several other Republican Members of the House but wants to give her colleagues time to discuss a possible replacement for Johnson before she makes her motion privileged.

Earlier Friday, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) said he believed the Democrats now effectively control the Speaker’s gavel and balked at the House Leadership and Democrat-backed appropriations package. With the retirement of Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) effective at the end of the day, the Republican House majority will be reduced to just two seats, leaving Speaker Johnson with no room for defections should Democrats vote along with Rep. Taylor Greene to oust him. Just two months ago, Rep. Taylor Greene warned against such a move.

Congress’s ‘Minibus’ Contains Dem Earmarks for Transgender Youth Services, $1.8M For Late-Term Abortion Clinics.

Several controversial Democratic earmarks have been included in the second half of this year’s congressional budget request, drawing sharp criticism from conservative groups. Included in the 1,000-page budget document, released in the early morning hours on Thursday, are earmarks aimed toward LGBTQ+ ‘healthcare’ facilities and late-term abortion clinics. Another Democrat earmark funds a multi-million-dollar research project on “gun confiscation.”

The non-profit group Americans Advancing Freedom has criticized the Congressional appropriations package, stating: “Congress can’t pass this legislation in its current form until these egregious earmarks are weeded out.” Conservative critics are also alarmed by what they perceive as a disregard for transparency, with the budget text released in the middle of the night and a rush by Congressional leadership to adopt the legislation.

Some of the Democrat earmarks include a $400,000 appropriation for Wisconsin’s Briarpatch Youth Services, a facility running the “Teens Like Us LGBTQIA2s+” program, and the “Gender Affirming Clothing Program.” The youth center offers pride-prom events as well, permitting LGBTQ youth to participate without parental consent.

Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) have also requested $400,000 for the Garden State Equality Education Fund. This major LGBTQ+ advocacy group provides certain undergarments for transgender individuals. Additional earmarks involve a $1.8 million request for a Rhode Island hospital performing elective late-term abortions and a $12.5 million appropriation for a National Institutes of Health study focused on firearm control, which opponents deem as ‘research’ into gun confiscation.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the appropriations package late on Saturday, with the Senate likely to take up the legislation quickly after that.

GOP Probes DOJ Attorneys On Hunter Biden Crimes.

The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), has filed a lawsuit in federal court to compel testimony from two Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) Tax Division attorneys, Mark Daly and Jack Morgan. House Republicans argue the testimony from the DOJ officials is integral to their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s business dealings.

Daly and Morgan are believed to have intimate knowledge regarding the decision to grant favorable terms in the prosecution of the President’s son for alleged tax crimes. The 59-page filing asks a federal judge to enforce congressional subpoenas previously issued for their testimony.

Concerns regarding the sweat-heart deal between Hunter Biden and the DOJ were brought to light by the House Ways and Means Committee late last year. Testimony from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler alleged the DOJ ignored the severity of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes out of a sense of political favoritism.

The business dealings of Hunter Biden have come under increasing scrutiny as the House Republican impeachment inquiry moves forward. President Biden’s son is accused of hiding income to avoid paying federal taxes and hiding illicit earnings from corrupt business dealings. Additionally, House Republicans allege Hunter Biden used his access to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to secure lucrative business contracts.

House Republicans, moving to the next phase of the impeachment inquiry, expected to begin increasing their focus on the Biden family’s business enterprises and allegations they traded off of Joe Biden’s name and political access.
