Ok. I am so glad that McCarthy has demanded that Bragg testify under oath before the House and hopefully follow up with a subpoena if he refuses. Now he’s saying that they want to look into improper use of prosecutorial discretion. I’m not really sure that the Manhattan DA exercising his discretion is really a federal issue unless they could prove that it was in violation of someone’s constitutional rights. However he also said that they are looking at interference in a federal election and that is a legitimate concern. It is really a case of interfering in the next presidential election and that would be a crime. And pursue it to the end.
SPRING BREAK
I am watching all the nonsense and it occurred to me that neither I nor anyone else I knew ever went to spring break. Maybe because I went to college etc in Florida. I don’t know why but it never happened. No reason to go. We could go to the beach any day we wanted.
TRUMP INDICTMENT?
I am not going to comment on the legality of what’s going on. Pirro just laid it out in spades and if you need more just put Jonathan Turley in your search engine and you can see all you could ever want.
What I’m going to do is give you my take on what’s really going on. There are a few possibilities. First, Bragg is so deranged that he is willing to do anything to hurt Trump and maybe further his political ambitions. If he puts the cuffs on Trump, he will be forever a hero in NY.
Next, it could be what many have said is a plan to get Trump to win the primary and then he might be so damaged that Magoo could beat him in the general.
It could also be the usual playbook of using this to divert attention from the Magoo family corruption that is finally coming out and it’s not going away because the incontrovertible evidence keeps coming in now that republicans have subpoenaed power.
Now here’s the thing that occurred to me listening to Pirro. The statute of limitations for business records is 2 years and given that the alleged crime occurred in 2017, it’s long since passed. And even if they could shoehorn it into the finance campaign law issue, that’s only a 5 year statute of limitations which expired last year. So here’s what occurred to me and it would be genius. Bragg indicts Trump and arrests him and cuffs and perp walks him and then files charges which the Trump team would immediately move to have dismissed because time had expired and the court would agree. So now Bragg gets kudos for the perp walk etc and all the Dems can say Trump is guilty but got off on a technicality and Bragg doesn’t have to prove what he can’t.
THE FIVE
Just watching and the big issue was since all this money was paid to Magoo’s family shortly after he left office it is irrelevant. Let’s get real. That’s how it’s done to hide previous services rendered.
Never forget after the Obamas left office they were suddenly showered with multimillion dollar book deals and video projects that no one would read or watch. They are now worth over $100 million for nothing!
SCIENCE
There are two things where science is not science but politics — global warming and covid. In these two areas if you disagree with the left you are either a climate denier or an anti vaxer. In both cases science has nothing to do with it. It’s strictly political.
As I have demonstrated previously, the entire Covid nonsense is just that. Remember, and as I have previously demonstrated and am still the only one who caught it, but Birx said that we have no data to support it but this is where we are going. Science has absolutely nothing to do with it.
With respect to global warming, every single prediction that the left has made has been totally false. The left’s nonsense has nothing to do with reality and is just their attempt to take away your freedom to support nonsense. I hope you watched Tucker tonight where he demonstrated the fraud.
PS There are probably many more like using disparate treatment versus using disparate impact. I’ve ranted about this previously so look it up. There’s no real science involved.
JUST A THOUGHT
Watching Milley et al pontificate about appeasing Russia made me think about what really needs to happen. And here’s my proposal. Any senior member of any cabinet department are prohibited from any monetary involvement with any entity with which they were formerly involved in their job for at least ten years. All the generals etc who retire would be retired and not paid insane amounts by the military/industrial complex. Fade into the sunset and then maybe you would do your freaking job and not line up future employment. Same for all departments!
It just might result in these midwits working for us and not their counterparts.
CORRECTION
Actually the original insured amount was $1000. It has changed several times since then and became $250,000 in 2008.
SVB
I haven’t commented previously because I’m not a banking expert but it has become clear that this bank was run by woke idiots who made many bad investments and the chickens came home to roost. I do know something about securities law and the bank president who sold $3.5 million shortly before the bank failed needs to be prosecuted.
But that’s not the reason for this rant. I am concerned about the potential bailouts. Listen I think that depositors should be protected to a certain extent and I will say up to one million dollars. The reason I’m for this is because the $250,000 insurance was set when the FDIC came into existence in 1933 and at that time it was a fortune during the depression. Although no one reading this would turn it down, that is a modest amount of money today and so I think the law should be amended to raise the insured amount to one million.
Now in case you didn’t know it, each of your accounts are insured up to my preference of $1 million. Checking and savings accounts are considered to be the same account, joint accounts are considered to be different accounts and you could also set up trust accounts but I don’t want to get into the weeds. The point is that under my proposal you could deposit the million in your account and your spouse could deposit another million in her account and then you could put another million into a joint account and it would all be assured. You could also do the same thing at as many separate banks as you want and it would all be insured.
So here’s my point, I have no problem covering depositors up to a point but I have no interest in bailing out investors in the bank. They are no different than investors in any corporation. If the corporation goes under, you are SOL. You should have done your due diligence and I don’t feel sorry for you.
If we and yes I mean we bailout the shareholders then all we are doing is rewarding bad decisions and that will lead to more bad decisions because we will have indicated that you will never pay the consequences of your actions.
Getting back to my previous point, if you have millions of dollars and don’t know anything about investing or whatever, and unfortunately too many don’t, hire a financial planner and don’t be an idiot.
And one final thing that really makes me in favor of limiting depositors recovery to a million is that apparently Harry and Megan had a huge amount in that bank!
OUR ELITE LAW SCHOOLS AREN’T
Listen back in my day Harvard and Yale and Stanford and Michigan and Virginia and Duke were considered the best law schools in America and it was maybe true but only because of reputation not education but at least they still taught law not woke. I have tried several cases against Harvard grads and I can guarantee you that somehow in the beginning of the case they would make that known thinking that they got a foot up because of it. And not to brag, but I never lost to any of them. When it got down to the trenches they weren’t very good. They thought they were entitled.
Fast forward to today, as we just saw at Stanford, these students are not being educated in the law. They are being indoctrinated in woke, socialist, crt nonsense and not the law and are rude assholes. We had Chief Justice William Rehnquist address us and no one on either side of the aisle would have considered acting the fool. They would have been booed and most likely kicked out of law school.
So here’s my point this generation of woke idiots are in for a rude awakening when they enter the arena and are forced to engage with attorneys who don’t bow to their nonsense because they don’t know how to actually engage in an argument. They will fail miserably because their supposed elite law school is a woke fraud and whoa be to their clients who thinks a box check has any value.
PS. In one case the Harvard idiots submitted a brief in which they claimed that the Supreme Court held x and in their brief they quoted the decision by quoting a piece of the decision followed by the three dots …and then continuing with the decision. Unfortunately for them, the omitted text actually held the opposite. And when we filed our brief pointing out their lie, they actually said to me that they were surprised we caught it because they didn’t think we were smart enough to catch it. You can imagine that after that it was scorched earth and we easily won.
MICHELLE OBAMA
I came across this yesterday and thought I’d put it up because one of you thinks she could be president and I think not only does she not want to give up her royal like unearned life style but she has absolutely no desire to have the gloves come off and her mediocrity at best be exposed.
PS. There is a reference to her having to surrender her law license and I checked it out and it’s not true. She still has a valid license in Illinois but she went to inactive status in 1993 because she didn’t intend to practice anymore and thus didn’t want to pay all the annual dues etc and have to take continuing legal education classes.
