Alvin Bragg: A Man on a Mission

Alvin Bragg, a Democrat D.A. backed by George Soros, has been accused of conducting a “malicious prosecution” in the indictment of former President Donald Trump. According to law experts, “His mission is simple. Get Trump. On anything.” According to Charles Lipson, a professor of political science emeritus at the University of Chicago, Bragg is focusing on a misdemeanor for which the statute of limitations has expired. Bragg is employing a “novel legal theory” by tying Trump’s misdemeanor to other alleged crimes — and packaging them all as a felony. He knows Trump would be tried before a liberal Manhattan jury that would likely rule against Trump. According to Lipson, Bragg accomplished this with the “thinnest of evidence, the weakest of legal theories.” Instead of investigating a crime, Bragg had a target, Trump, and dug for a crime to charge him with. According to Lipson, his legal strategy goes against the precedent of our justice system and is subjecting Trump to political prosecution. Read More

Trans Day of Vengeance Officially Canceled

The “Trans Day of Vengeance,” originally set to take place on Saturday in Washington, D.C., has been canceled by the event’s organizers. The cancellation comes in the wake of the Nashville school shooting, in which the shooter was transgender and mentally ill. Organizers said that although they stand by the event's message, they cannot guarantee participants' safety, forcing them to abandon the protest. This comes after Twitter took down all tweets with the flyer as well, saying it incited violence. "This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety," the organization wrote on social media. "The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat directly results from the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting." So far, no plans to reschedule the protest have been announced. Read More

DeSantis and Disney Headed for a Legal Fight

: Disney is fighting back against Gov. Ron DeSantis’s bill to revoke Disney’s self-governing power. The media giant pushed through changes designed to limit external control by the board that effectively governs its theme park. The transfer of duties came in a last-ditch effort before the Florida House of Representatives approved a state takeover. "The Executive Office of the Governor is aware of Disney's last-ditch efforts to execute contracts just before ratifying the new law that transfers rights and authorities from the former Reedy Creek Improvement District to Disney," said Taryn Fenske, a spokesperson for the governor’s office. The governor was unaware of these changes before approving the new district, and Fenske said contacts are void as a matter of law, although Disney claims they were discussed and approved. The war over Disney control will continue as hearings proceed. Read More

Dystopian Europe to BAN Hard Cash

According to Dr. Gunnar Beck, a representative of the Alternative for Germany party, the EU will criminalize the use of physical cash with its new anti-money laundering laws. The European Parliament has voted to cap out physical monetary transactions at €7,000 in an effort to clamp down on money laundering and tax evasion in the economic bloc. Officials are also voting to crack down on cryptocurrency transactions over €1,000. Mr. Beck says the EU’s attempts at halting money laundering fell flat on its proposed purpose. According to him, the EU’s anti-cash agenda will only harm law-abiding Europeans and will not stop criminal organizations and Islamist terror groups from evading finance laws. Although the EU parliament has arrived at a €7,000 cap, Beck says it could have been much worse and that original proposals had the figure at €3,000. Read More

WSJ Journalist Arrested in Russia

Evan Gershkovich, a journalist for the Wall Street Journal, has been arrested by Russia and accused of spying. The Kremlin claims the reporter was caught “red-handed,” accusing him of “acting on US instructions” and “collecting state secrets.” The Wall Street Journal commented on his arrest, saying they were “deeply concerned” for his safety, and denied any allegations of spying made against him. Regardless, the Russian state police, the FSB, confirmed that they detained Gershkovich after he “collected information constituting a state secret about the activities of a Russian defense enterprise.” Political experts claim that Gershkovich’s arrest is a shock, saying that the ‘espionage’ he was committing could have just been collecting comments from experts. However, a spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry said that whatever Gershkovich was doing had nothing to do with his job as a journalist. Committing a crime of espionage in Russia carries a potential jail term of at least twenty years. Read More

Twitter Removes “Trans Day of Vengeance” Tweets 

A spokesperson for Twitter said the platform removed thousands of tweets of a poster graphic promoting the “Trans Day of Vengeance” that is set to take place in Washington, D.C., this Saturday, April 1st. In a tweet on Wednesday, Twitter’s head of Trust and Safety, Ella Irwin, wrote, “We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. ‘Vengeance’ does not imply peaceful protest. Organizing or supporting peaceful protests is ok.” Trans activists have been quick to speak out against Twitter’s actions, calling it an example of Big Tech employing double standards in content moderation. “They are slow to moderate content targeting trans people but quick to silence us when we speak out or push back. ’Trans Day of Vengeance’ is not a specific day or a call for violence. It’s a meme that’s been around for years, a way of expressing anger and frustration about oppression and violence the trans community faces daily,” Evan Greer, director of a liberal advocacy group, said. The poster reads, “stop trans genocide” and includes details about the day, as well as encouraging people to “wear a mask” and “bring a buddy.” Read More

Minnesota Homes Evacuated After Toxic Train Derailment

A train hauling ethanol and other materials was derailed Thursday morning in Raymond, Minnesota, causing a fire to break out and forcing nearby residents to evacuate. Preliminary reports from the scene, and a statement from Lena Kent, general director of public affairs for BNSF Railway, say that fourteen of the train’s forty cars were carrying hazardous materials. According to the local sheriff’s office, the derailment happened around 1 AM, and homes within half a mile were evacuated due to concerns over ethanol burning. Ethanol exposure can lead to coughing, dizziness, the feeling of burning eyes, and a plethora of other undesirable side effects. The leading cause of Thursday morning’s derailment is under investigation. Like many other train spills and accidents over the past few months, Americans will have to wait to discover what’s behind this deadly onslaught of train derailments. Read More

Senate Staffer Stabbed Outside of D.C. Restaurant 

A member of Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) staff was stabbed Saturday after exiting a restaurant in Washington, D.C. The assailant, who had no relation to the staffer, had been released from federal prison just 24 hours prior. The suspect, 42-year-old Glynn Neal, has been charged with assault with intent to kill. He was previously in jail for pandering and threatening to kidnap, among other charges. Neal jumped out from behind a building and started stabbing the staffer, according to police documents. The victim sustained serious, life-threatening injuries that required immediate surgery. Surgeons tended to a laceration to the left ear, a puncture wound to the skull likely to have caused a brain bleed, a torso wound, and a punctured lung. Rand Paul’s released statement reads, “I ask you to join Kelley and me in praying for a speedy and complete recovery and thanking the first responders, hospital staff, and police for their diligent actions. We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested." Read More

In the Wake of Shooting, Media’s GOP Smear Campaign Continues

NBC’s Senior Washington Correspondent, Hallie Jackson, is bombarding Republicans for their anti-trans rhetoric after a transgender radical, Audrey Hale, massacred six people at the Covenant Presbyterian School in Nashville, Tennessee. Jackson’s criticism of Republicans started when discussing the possibility of the House of Representatives passing gun control legislation. She seemed skeptical about the prospect, blaming the GOP for trying to solve the cause of the shooting by discussing other catalysts for Audrey Hale’s slaughter. Republicans have started investigating mental health, social alienation, and even anti-christian rhetoric for possibly instigating recent mass shootings. Still, liberal analysts continue to tighten the noose around gun-control, doubling down on their assessment that gun control is an all-in-one solution for America’s problems. Read More
