NY Judge May Get Trump Elected

Trump accuses Judge Juan Merchan of corruption in hush money trial (Forbes Breaking News/Youtube)
Recently, when former President Trump openly accused the New York judge presiding over his “hush money” trial of plotting to put him in jail and declared himself willing to emulate Nelson Mandela, it had the desired effect on the commentariat and the savants of social media. They provided Trump with plenty of earned coverage and precious little substance concerning how the voters will react if he is jailed for committing a misdemeanor. It’s obvious that the Biden reelection campaign is relying on lawfare to drive down Trump’s support. Yet, according to a recent AP-NORC poll, “Only about one-third of U.S. adults say Trump did something illegal in the hush money case.”
Most voters now realize that “working class Joe” was the front man for a bait-and-switch in 2020.
And this corrupt prosecution probably offers the only chance to convict Trump of anything before the election. Recent developments in the other cases cobbled together by Democrat prosecutors suggest that they won’t go forward anytime soon. Last week, Federal Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed the start of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified-documents trial, which had been scheduled to begin May 20. The next day, as Judge Cannon was being savaged by the corporate media, Georgia’s state Court of Appeals agreed to review a ruling by Judge Scott McAfee that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to continue prosecuting Trump despite her clear conflict of interest.

Meanwhile, Smith’s indictments involving Trump’s alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election are languishing in the Supreme Court where the justices are considering whether a former president enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken before leaving office. The Court will also decide if Smith has improperly charged Trump under a statute meant to punish corporations for evidence tampering in order to obstruct congressional inquiries. SCOTUS isn’t expected to rule on these cases until June. Thus, the Judge presiding over the “hush money” trial is already under immense pressure to put Trump in jail. However, as W. James Antle III suggests in a recent CNN column, this could very well backfire:
Jailing Trump could give him yet more ammunition for rallying his base against what he calls a witch hunt and describes as a form of election interference. It could also be a fundraising boon, which Trump sorely needs to pay legal expenses and keep up with Democrats … [G]iven the way Trump’s past legal problems have largely played out, it is easy to see how he could turn a brief incarceration to his advantage. Voters may well decide that jailing the former president is not the way they want to see presidential candidates treated in this country.
But it is by no means obvious that this particular judge, Juan Merchan, is capable of controlling his animus toward Trump long enough to think clearly. This was made manifest when he allowed prosecutors to put “adult film star” Stormy Daniels on the witness stand for no other reason than to embarrass Trump with salacious details about a 2016 tryst that he says never happened. His defense team immediately sought a mistrial. However, as the New York Times gleefully reported, “The defense lawyers had argued that Stormy Daniels’s testimony in Donald J. Trump’s criminal trial was prejudicial. In denying their motion, the judge said they had opened the door to her vivid descriptions of a sexual encounter.”
A number of legal experts have suggested that Merchan’s decision to let Daniels testify was just the latest in a series of rulings that all but guarantee the reversal on appeal of any conviction that results from this tawdry trial. Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, for example, put it as follows during a Fox News interview: “I can’t imagine how the Court of Appeals in New York that reversed the Harvey Weinstein conviction, which was a harder case to reverse, wouldn’t reverse this conviction if it got up there … This is such a corrupt case from beginning to end.” Writing in The Hill, George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley took the judge to task for letting Daniels testify:
For two days, she offered lurid and completely irrelevant details whose only possible purpose was to humiliate Trump. Admitting that she was coached by the prosecution in her testimony, it was clear that she was there not to win a case but to win an election. Judge Juan Merchan allowed this legal burlesque to unfold in his courtroom, later blaming defense counsel who had vociferously objected to her appearance and the scope of the examination … He has failed to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, politically motivated prosecution.
None of this is lost on the voters. A recent CNN-SSRS poll found that 56 percent of Americans are skeptical that Trump will receive a fair verdict from the jury chosen for this trial. Like the AP-NORC poll quoted above, the CNN survey found that only a third of respondents believe Trump did anything illegal with regard to the case. Regarding his fitness to be president, only 28 percent say the hush money kerfuffle is “disqualifying.” Moreover, the harder people like Alvin Bragg hit Trump with politically motivated lawfare, the more his supporters circle the wagons around him. After four weeks that would have destroyed most politicians, Trump’s Saturday rally drew at least 80,000 attendees — in New Jersey. (READ MORE: Bragg’s Trump Trial Refutes Case Against Immunity)
The pundits titter when they see Trump defy an unconstitutional gag order and declare, “I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela — It will be my Great Honor.” But these people have no idea what they are witnessing. Most voters now realize that “working class Joe” was the front man for a bait-and-switch in 2020. The DNC gave us “Weekend at Bernie’s” rather than Bernie himself. But the people who run the Biden regime are imposing the Sanders agenda and it is failing badly. The voters want the gag removed from Trump, so they can return to the peace and prosperity over which he presided before 2020.

Why Mother’s Day founder later regretted doing it
May 11, 2024
By Gail Marsh
It’s a day dedicated to moms everywhere. Cards. Flowers. Candy. Family time. What’s not to like? Why did Anna Jarvis, the founder of modern-day Mother’s Day, grow to despise the holiday that she helped create? It certainly didn’t start out that way.
Page Contents
Early Mother’s Day celebrations
Ms. Jarvis originally set out to draw attention to the important work of mothers. But she wasn’t the first. As far back as ancient Greece and Rome, festivals were celebrated in honor of motherhood. The early church celebrated “Mothering Sunday.” This was the day people returned to their “mother church” (the church they attended as children). Over time the tradition changed. It became a more secular celebration. Children presented flowers and small, handmade items to their moms. These celebrations were in no way organized like our modern-day celebrations.
Women’s work
Before the Civil War, Anna Jarvis set about teaching women in West Virginia how to properly care for their children. These “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs” continued in popularity after the war ended. They are even credited with helping with reconciliation. How? Jarvis organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day”—for mothers of former Union and Confederate soldiers. These “Friendship Days” brought moms together in the interest of promoting peace.
A national Mother’s Day
In the early 1900s, Ms. Jarvis set her sights on an even bigger goal. She wanted Mother’s Day to become a national holiday. A department store owner, John Wanamaker, backed Jarvis’ idea. He enabled Jarvis to organize the first Mother’s Day celebration in West Virginia. The celebration enjoyed a remarkably positive response. Jarvis began a letter-writing campaign to politicians and newspapers. She urged Congress to establish the day as an annual holiday. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson did just that. The second Sunday in May was officially declared “Mother’s Day.”
Gone wrong
Once Mother’s Day became a national holiday, it didn’t take long for merchants to notice its popularity and potential. Card companies, florists, and candy makers soon profited from the annual celebration. And that’s when Anna Jarvis began to despise the day she worked so hard to establish. Jarvis intended Mother’s Day to be a personal family celebration. She felt it disgraceful to commercialize mothers and the day set aside to honor them.
Before she died, Jarvis actively campaigned against Mother’s Day. She lobbied the government to have the holiday removed from the national calendar. I understand Jarvis’ disappointment over the commercialism of Mother’s Day. But I’m happy she didn’t succeed in removing Mother’s Day from our calendar. I believe it’s still a good thing to remember and acknowledge your mom, or the women who stepped up to be “moms” in your life.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
Moms, no matter whether human or other creatures, are special! On this day we honor them all, but human Moms are our favorites! So Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms (and grand moms) in our audience. And to the moms we have lost, we honor you (and, for most of us, think about you all the time). If you live in the British Empire, present or past, then Happy Mum’s Day!

Subject: The Dying Priest . . .
In Washington , D.C. an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital and was well known among the elected officials. He motioned for his nurse to come near.
"Yes, Father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see President Biden and Senator Schumer before I die, "whispered the priest.
"I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The President and Senate and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Biden and Chuck Schumer would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital,Biden commented to Schumer , "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected."
Schumer agreed that it was probably a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest tookBiden's hand in his right hand and Schumer's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally President Biden spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"
The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Amen", said Biden.
"Amen", said Schumer.
The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."

Georgia Election Officials Admit To 2020 Fraud
The State Election Board admits that Fulton County violated election law
EMERALD ROBINSON
MAY 9
READ IN APP
https://substack.com/app
Citizen journalist Joe Rossi showed up at the Georgia State Capitol yesterday for the State Election Board meeting to announce that America’s corrupt voting system had finally been caught beyond a shadow of a doubt.
How?
It’s now been proven that Fulton County’s hand audit and the certified machine count are both in violation of Georgia’s election law.
That’s right: Georgia’s State Election Board has been forced to admit in writing that Fulton County cheated.
That’s not all.
Garland Favorito delivered the death-blow to America’s electronic voting systems by exposing the fact that Georgia’s election officials were too stupid to understand the systems that they maintain.
Yes, that happened too.
There’s something called a “QR Code mismatch error” in these systems — which under-counts valid votes every time.
That error was found in almost every Georgia county in their 2020 vote totals.
Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s lead attorney was forced to admit at the meeting that Fulton County used improper procedures in the 2020 election.
That’s a crime.
She was also forced to admit that Fulton County counted votes twice — which is also illegal.
So that’s two crimes.
So Georgia’s corrupt officials have been caught certifying false election results.
There’s 380,000 missing ballot images.
Fulton County cannot provide sufficient evidence of the votes it claimed it counted in 2020. The recount could not replicate those original results either.
The votes are missing because they don’t exist.
That’s because Joe Biden did not win the red state of Georgia in 2020.
Trump won.
And now the election fraud deniers are the real conspiracy theorists.
