“BREAKING: The bank Trump allegedly defrauded just gave a testimony saying Trump did nothing wrong in their dealings with him.
“It’s not unusual or atypical for any client’s provide financial statements to be adjusted to this level to this extent.” Bank Exec David Williams
Williams also said he personally went to Trump Tower in December 2011 to review bank and brokerage statements to verify there was $51.8 million in marketable securities $178 million cash balances.
So exactly who did Trump defraud here? And what laws were broken?”

Can you say just another witch hunt?
I knew ya’ could.
And another.
BREAKING: Trump has filed a motion in the January 6th indictment case seeking all information about the FBI informants & undercover agents that were there in the crowd.
This case could backfire greatly because this is what they've been hiding about January 6th

“Don’t Do Unto Others What We Would Have Done to Them?
Once more, it gets even creepier how the projectionist Left is daily still shrieking about impending Trump “revenge” and “rage”, or about Trump’s purported enemies lists to come, or about his planned weaponization of the bureaucracies. The fear is in direct proportion to Biden cognitive decline, sinking polls, and walls-are-closing-in family corruption.
Should we laugh or cry about the transparent hypocrisy?
After all, who tried to wreck an administration with a 22-month-long Russian “collusion” fraud, suppressed a laptop with the lie it was Russian “disinformation”, or impeached a president for a phone call correctly identifying the Biden family’s operation in Ukraine as utterly corrupt and at the expense of U.S. interests?
Do we recall that the Obama-Biden nexus—from 2009-17, and from 2021 until now—cemented the reputation of FBI as a partisan operation, rebooted the Pentagon as an agent of woke change ferreting out “white rage” and “white privilege”, reinvented the DOJ as a Biden family protection service, politicized the CIA so that it, along with the FBI, interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and warped the IRS by suppressing evidence of Biden family tax fraud?
What Lois Lerner, Eric Holder (self-identified as Obama’s “wingman”), and Loretta Lynch left undone was taken up by Merrick Garland.
Does the New York Times, or Joe Scarborough or any of these strange pundits raging about Trump rage to come remember how the “Logan Act” farce was used to destroy Michael Flynn?
Or the Foreign Policy essay of Rosa Brooks, a former Obama-era Pentagon lawyer, about how to drive out Trump without waiting for the 2020 election, by either impeachment, the 25thAmendment—or a military coup?
How about the “kill Trump” porn that saw celebrities, actors, and academics envisioning decapitating, stabbing, shooting, exploding, or incinerating the orange man?
How about Anonymous’s confessions about how fellow bureaucrats were trying to undermine and sabotage the operations of the Trump administration from within? Or the Pentagon’s retired 4-stars calling for Trump to be removed the “sooner the better”, or labeling him a Mussolini or Nazi-like figure?
Who paid Twitter millions to censor the news of political opponents?
Who paid foreign national Christopher Steele to peddle a fake dossier to destroy the 2016 Republican candidate?
Do we remember Biden’s Phantom-of-the-Opera harangue about his “ultra-MAGA” and “semi-fascists” political enemies?
Were not the twin pillars of Biden’s current foreign policy team, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, once respectively knee-deep in the anti-Trump Alfa Bank-ping hoax and the “51 Intelligence Authorities” laptop scam?
Again, the reason the media and politicians are terrified is that they are convinced Trump would do exactly what they would do in his place—and what they would do utterly suddenly horrifies them.”
So are non-Trump fans OK with this sort of Gestapo tactics?
"The release of the warrant follows Twitter opposing the search warrant as well as an accompanying gag order—arguing that the gag order violated the company’s First Amendment right to communicate with Trump, and that Trump may have legal standing to raise his executive-privilege…
“”The release of the warrant follows Twitter opposing the search warrant as well as an accompanying gag order—arguing that the gag order violated the company’s First Amendment right to communicate with Trump, and that Trump may have legal standing to raise his executive-privilege rights to block the warrant.
Twitter was ultimately unsuccessful in its opposition to the DOJ, with Obama-appointed District Judge Beryl Howell also fining the company $350,000 in February for failing to meet a deadline for complying with the warrant.
An appeals court upheld all of Howell’s decisions.””
This is what an actual attack on the media looks like. Also note the same corrupt judge is presiding over one of the witch hunts against Trump. Weird, right?

🚨🚨BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Aliens Receiving GPS COORDINATES for Mass Crossings Into US🚨🚨
Hundreds of illegal aliens are slamming the U.S. southern border every day in mob crossings that are clearly pre-planned and organized by ‘mysterious hands.’
“Hundreds of illegal aliens are slamming the U.S. southern border every day in mob crossings that are clearly pre-planned and organized by ‘mysterious hands.’
While embedded with a massive group making their way at night through Piedras Negras, Mexico, to the Rio Grande, Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González learned that migrants are provided with GPS coordinates which enable them to gather at specific locations and cross en masse.
It is unclear exactly who is behind the scheme, but some of the migrants indicated Mexican authorities may be involved.
“We accompanied this caravan that walked for an hour in the darkest to reach the crossing point. The migrant said they were angry Mexican authorities sent them to cross into this dangerous area of the river at night,” González explained.
“Most of these people do not know how to get to the river. However, through GPS they obtain the exact location where forklift tractors raised the razor wire in October.”
GPS-guided mass crossings into Eagle Pass have become much more frequent in November as the Biden border rush rages on.”

Meanwhile, while the Biden admin enables and encourages this….
REPORT: 400+ women and children have been assaulted in "r*pe tents" set up in the Darien Gap on their way to the United States.
“REPORT: 400+ women and children have been assaulted in “r*pe tents” set up in the Darien Gap on their way to the United States.
Where did all your tears go, @AOC?
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have treated 400 women and children, some as young as 11 for being r*ped on their way to the U.S.
“How can you survive five r*pes?” said one Venezuelan woman in tears who was assaulted 5 times.
“They beat me on my legs with a bat, because those of us who had no money were beaten. Those who said they didn’t have any money, but when searched were found to have some, were hurt even more.”
“They said, ‘Oh yes, she has some money,’ and they r*ped them. I saw many people r*ped. I saw them left naked and beaten. One, two, or three of them grab you and r*pe you, and then the next one comes and r*pes you again, and if you scream, they beat you.”
One man was shot in the head for trying to defend the women.
“They killed a boy in front of us with a shot to the forehead,” she said.
Close the border.”

Joe Biden built all of this.
Do people think those 8 million illegal aliens came across our border for free?
No, they paid human traffickers thousands of dollars
And guess where those *billions* in revenue go to?
Cartels

“Ron DeSantis influencers–including one-time friends–are not mad because I posted a snarky reply to the political preacher who endorsed RDS.
They are mad because my criticism of DeSantis over J6 and his refusal to defend his own constituents persecuted by Biden’s DOJ damaged the campaign. They could have remedied this months ago but instead the candidate and his repellent online army lifted talking points from Democrats and DOJ to blame Trump.
One influencer is now defending police brutality against women on Jan 6 and working with Sedition Hunters to spread propaganda about J6.
My condemnation of DeSantis for ignoring J6 defendants in his state (FLA has the most by the way) has nothing to do with Trump. I have criticized him, too, including face-to-face during a meeting last year.
I also know some of my now-critics who were once friends pushed DeSantis to handle J6 better. He chose not to…so instead of aiming criticism where it is deserved (DeSantis) they are targeting me. They have completely let him off the hook while pretending to care about J6ers.
Just another in a very long list of avoidable missteps. At any rate, my work will continue despite their barrage of personal and professional attacks on me.”
Just to clarify, I, personally, did not bring up the Trump’s court cases in the discussion yesterday, but a quote from a WSJ editorial mentioned them as an aside.
But I did enjoy the discussion yesterday and think it’s good when believers can explore how and why the faith impacts (and should impact) our participation and choices in the voting booth.

Saw and shared this on Facebook a few days ago, and it reminded me of something I had been thinking. Here is my preface to my FB post:
“Although this is news in England, not so much here, I am sharing it to make a point.
.
Brief video clips or “reels” or whatnot often do not tell the whole or real story. It is so easy to take a piece of video out of context and use it to make someone look stupid, or as if they are saying or doing something that they are not. On one in particular (sorry, I don’t remember the details), it was noted that there was no way that a fuller context would excuse the person, that there was absolutely no excuse for whatever was in the video. And yet. . . the fuller video did in fact show a whole different story. In another, a politician was joking in a deadpan manner, and the part where he said he was joking was cut off, to make it seem as if he were saying something egregious. (Granted, it was a stupid joke, but a stupid joke was all it was.)
.
Often, the video used isn’t even related to what it is claimed to be.
.
Please don’t take these brief videos as evidence of anything. It is too easy to believe the worst about the politicians (or others) we dislike, and these things play into that. (Note to my fellow Christians: We need to be very careful about what we share about people in order to not tread on the ninth commandment against bearing false witness.)”
Having shared that. . . When I viewed the video shared here the other day of the older woman being pushed back down the steps by a police officer on Jan. 6, two things caught my attention that made me wonder what the full story was.
One was that the video started pretty much right at the point when the woman was pushed back. The other was that she was up there in front of the police, while the rest of the crowd was at a lower level on the steps. That indicated to me that perhaps she was being confrontational with them. Maybe they had already told her to get back?
This is not to say that it is okay to push a woman down the steps, but that the video lacked context about why that happened. Lacking that context, even if she did no wrong, is suspicious.
