Republican State AGs Unite to Oppose New Gag Order in Trump Documents Case

Dozens of Republican state attorneys general have submitted an amicus brief in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case in Florida, asking the court to deny Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order. The group of 24 attorneys called Smith’s request “presumptively unconstitutional”.

In April while his hush-money criminal trial in Manhattan was underway, Trump was handed a $9,000 fine by Judge Juan Merchan for contempt of court after the former president repeatedly violated a gag order. When he handed Trump the fine, Merchan warned that he could face jail time if he continued to violate the gag order.

Donald Trump Jr. has accused Smith of tampering with evidence relating to the case after it was revealed that the order of the documents had changed since they were seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort by the FBI in 2022. Following the revelation, the trial date was postponed indefinitely by Judge Aileen Cannon.

The filed amicus brief argued that candidates’ freedoms to discuss key issues of the day formed the foundation of fair elections. It also claimed that attempts to silence a candidate would harm voters and deny them access to valuable information.

The brief expressed its concerns that “fundamental” First Amendment rights are violated when one candidate’s “agents” seek a court order to silence debate on issues central to an election campaign. The group of state prosecutors, which was led by Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, stressed that all branches of government should be careful about censoring political speech on key issues, especially leading up to a presidential election.

Smith’s motion argued that Trump had made statements that posed a significant danger to law enforcement involved in the case. The special counsel’s concerns relate to Trump’s claims that FBI agents were “locked & loaded” when they raided his property. Trump suggested that there was a plot between the FBI and the White House to assassinate him. Prosecutors slated the “grossly misleading claims” by Trump, which relate to a standard boilerplate policy used by the FBI in such operations that seeks to minimize the use of deadly force in emergency scenarios.

Kevin Spacey Claims To Have Flown with Esptein

Shunned actor Kevin Spacey has admitted in an interview with Piers Morgan that he flew on an airplane owned by the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the interview the actor tearfully discussed his financial struggles, which he claimed had been caused by mounting legal fees following multiple sexual assault allegations.

Spacey insisted that he had no relationship with Epstein, and that he did not know at the time who he was or that he was flying on one of his planes. He also denied having known Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell despite being in the same room with her, and claimed that he traveled with the Clinton Foundation.

Commentators Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher dismissed the claims in Gray’s podcast; Jeff joked that being associated with the Clintons was “not much better” and Gray called Spacey’s claim that he knew neither Epstein nor Maxwell despite traveling on a plane with them “garbage”.

Though many public figures named in the Epstein files were only distantly connected or mentioned in conversation with the financier, former President Bill Clinton is among those named in more serious allegations. As documents unsealed in January 2024 revealed, witness Sarah Ransome claimed that the sex offender had kept sex tapes of Clinton as well as Prince Andrew and Richard Branson.

Spacey prompted further controversy when he came out as gay in response to the allegations. After being blacklisted by much of Hollywood, Spacey was acquitted in 2023 of sexually assaulting four men. Despite the verdict, the actor has since admitted to Morgan that he was “too handsy” in the past. Liam Neeson, Stephen Fry and Sharon Stone are among those calling for Spacey’s return to the screen following his acquittal.

In response to the allegations, the actor was sacked from his role on the House of Cards TV series after six seasons of the show, and edited out of the movie All the Money in the World. His replacement Christopher Plummer had to reshoot his scenes at the last minute. Spacey is famous for his roles in American Beauty, LA Confidential, the Usual Suspects and Se7en. His performance in American Beauty won him an Academy Award for best actor in 2000.

Video Shows Moment FBI Agents Visit Whistleblower Who Warned Of “Illegal” Child Gender Reassignment Clinic

Video footage pertaining to show the moment two FBI agents intimidated a Texas nurse has gone viral.

The footage relates to a major healthcare scandal in which nurse Vanessa Sivadge alleged that the Texas Children’s Hospital illegally billed Medicaid for transgender procedures. Medicaid is not permitted to be used on so-called “gender reaffirming” treatment.

Savidge, who worked extensively with the hospital’s transgender patients, realised she was unwittingly participating in a secret “gender-affirming” clinic despite previous public promises by the hospital to close it down.

A City Journal report in May 2023 detailed how an anonymous whistleblower – now known to be Savidge – provided documents on the secret continuation of the program, which included providing young children with implantable puberty blockers.

Christopher F. Rufo, who broke the scandal, shared a detailed thread on X about the story including a video from shortly after its original publication in May last year.

In the clip (at the beginning of this article), two FBI agents can be seen asking for Savidge at what appears to be her home.

“I’m sure you’re aware of some of the things that have been going on at your work lately,” says one of the agents in the clip, before asking whether they could “sit down for a minute and let me do my song and dance” when the footage ends.

Savidge later claimed that she was intimidated by the officers due to her sharing of the allegations.

Many responded in outrage at the allegations in response to the video.

On the other hand, some questioned as to why Savidge let the officers in.

Democratic Candidate and Former Biden Appointee Charged With Faking Own Hate Mail

A county commissioner candidate and former Joe Biden appointee has been charged with faking his own racist hate mail.

Democratic candidate Taral Patel, who is standing for commissioner in Fort Bend County, TX, was charged on Wednesday, June 12, after being arrested on allegations of online impersonation.

The investigation into Patel’s affairs was commissioned by his opponent and incumbent Andy Meyers after a lengthy Facebook post in which the 30-year-old Patel claimed he was the victim of a race-based smear campaign. The post featured a collage of racist messages he had allegedly received over the course of his campaign.

“These hateful images (a small sample attached here) are from a place of deep and misguided fear – incited by people like former President Donald Trump, and today’s extremist Republican Party fear that immigrants are ‘taking their jobs’ and setting out to hurt our own communities.” Patel wrote.

Investigators from the Fort Bend District Attorney’s Office subpoenaed Facebook and Google for account information about the user profile. Their search led them back to Patel.

Patel was arrested on June 12 on a felony charge for online impersonation in the third degree, as well as the Class A misdemeanor charge for misrepresentation of identity. He posted a $22,500 bond the following morning with a court appearance scheduled for Monday, July 22.

Social media users expressed their outrage when reacting to the news.

Others compared to actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax from 2019.

The county commissioner election is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5.

“Could America Be Next?!” – Anti-Woke Parties Dominate European Elections

Woke extremists across Europe are heartbroken following a successful election night for right-wing parties across the continent.

The European Union’s 27 member states held concurrent elections to decide the make-up of the 720-seat European Parliament, which sits on a five-year term. The elections, held over four days from June 6 – June 9, were the first to be held since the United Kingdom left the EU.

The right-wing National Rally topped the polls in France with 31.5% of the vote, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to call a snap parliamentary election for the start of July.

In Germany, Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany) saw major gains thanks to overwhelming support in the country’s east, while Austria saw the populist Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (Freedom Party of Austria) scored the most seats of the country’s 20-member delegation with six candidates elected.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni saw her Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) party top the polls in the Mediterranean nation with more than 28% of the vote, while Spanish right-wing parties beat the left by more than 10% across the sea.

Many mainstream media outlets called the elections a success for the “far-right” in an attempt to demonize populist parties across the continent.

One social media user praised the greater emphasis of free speech since Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter (now known as X).

Others, meanwhile, noted the change of opinion towards populist movements and questioned whether the United States could follow suit in November’s Donald Trump v Joe Biden electoral rematch.

Former Diversity Program Manager Who Lived Luxurious Lifestyle Jailed For $5 Million Fraud

A former diversity program manager at Facebook and Nike has been jailed for stealing more than $5 million in a scheme involving fake vendors, made-up paperwork, and cash kickbacks.

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, of Marietta, Georgia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg to five years and three months in prison, followed by three years’ supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $5,102,838.08 to the impacted companies, the bulk of which was to Facebook.

From January 2017 to September 2021, Furlow-Smiles led Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs at Facebook and was responsible for developing and executing DEI initiatives, operations and engagement programs. Her role at the company provided her access to company credit cards, and authority to submit purchase requisitions and approve invoices for authorized vendors of Facebook – a level of power she quickly abused.

The former DEI manager linked PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App accounts to her Facebook credit cards and used those accounts to pay friends, relatives, and other associates for goods and services that in truth were never provided to Facebook. The vast majority of the money was then returned back to Furlow-Smiles in cash.

Following her termination from Facebook, she worked as Senior Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Nike from November 2021 to February 2023, where she was responsible for DEI initiatives including the Juneteenth event in New York.

Like her previous offences, Furlow-Smiles circumvented the vendor process at Nike to commit fraud, with expense reports falsely claiming that the payments were related to the Juneteenth event.

The 38-year-old stole almost $5million from Facebook and $121,054.50 from Nike to fund a luxurious lifestyle in California, Georgia, and Oregon.

U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said Furlow-Smiles had “shamelessly violated her position of trust as a DEI executive at Facebook to steal millions from the company”. According to Keri Farley, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta, the social media giant put “an extreme amount of trust” in Furlow-Smiles “only to have that trust completely violated”.

New Jersey Representative Humiliates Herself

New Jersey Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill told Donald Trump he was “not welcome” in the Garden State for his rally in Wildwood.

“Donald Trump, you’re not welcome in NJ. Because in the Garden State, we believe in democracy, we know that diversity is our strength, & we let women make their own healthcare decisions. Do us all a favor and go back to court,” she tweeted.

While much of his past month has been spent in a Manhattan courthouse, the former president addressed more than 80,000 supporters in Wildwood, and some estimates put the crowd size above 100,000. And that was blue New Jersey of all places.

Needless to say, Trump was more than welcome in the state.

While it may not have been the smartest decision to create such a post on X (formerly Twitter), it was perhaps equally mind-boggling that Sherrill left the post online. As of Tuesday morning, her announced banishment of Trump had amassed a mere 1,700 “‘likes”’” compared to the 19,000+ replies from dumbfounded observers.

Others called out the Democrat’s hypocrisy for her criticism over Trump’s stance on abortions given her silence on vaccination mandates in New Jersey.

Not the smartest move where the state’s motto is “liberty and prosperity”!

Biden Says He Gets Flipped Off by Children Regularly

The kids are alright after all.

While on a campaign stop, Biden, who is the least popular president in modern history, recalled how he’s constantly being flipped off by children everywhere he goes.

“I’ve never thought I’d see a time when I’m going through a — a neighborhood or a rural town that’s in the west and see big signs that s- — have a Trump sign in the middle that says “F Biden” and having a little kid standing with his middle finger — seven years old, eight years old,” Biden said.

“Well, I promise, it happens all the time.  It’s not who we are,” added the man who won the vote of the radical rioters who burned down U.S. cities in 2020.

Give his comments a listen – and try not to laugh:

Kennedy Family Snubs RFK Jr.

Thanksgiving dinner at the Kennedy Compound might be a little more contentious than usual this year.

Last week, 15 members of the storied Kennedy family publicly endorsed Joe Biden for President, snubbing their relation, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. While there’s speculation as to what prompted them to come forward, common sense suggests that they fear RFK Jr. is going to siphon off a larger share of the vote from Biden than Donald Trump.

Most notable in the group was Kerry Kennedy, Robert’s sister. Oddly enough, she never mentioned her brother in her speech, instead targeting her attack at Donald Trump.

The announcement didn’t seem to move the needle much, however.

This comes as no real surprise to those who are paying attention. Instead, it just confirms that establishment Democrats are terrified of Kennedy, Jr taking votes away from Joe Biden in what is expected to be a very close presidential election.

Kennedy, Jr, an environmental attorney by trade, is quite liberal in many of his beliefs. He veered from the Democrat playbook in 2020, however, when he dared to raise questions about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Although it’s a long shot, just imagine the crow his family will have to eat should Kennedy, Jr pull off a victory in November. Walking into Thanksgiving dinner could look something like this…
