President Trump Delivers Remarks in New York Following Visit With Family of Slain Police Officer


Posted originally on the CTH on March 28, 2024 | Sundance

Earlier today, President Donald Trump joined grieving family and hundreds of uniformed officers at the wake for slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller.  President Trump continues to emphasize escalating crime as he campaigns for the White House.

President Trump’s presence at the Massapequa funeral home appears intended to shine a spotlight on Diller’s senseless death during a traffic stop in Queens.

Visitation with Diller’s family will be held at the Massapequa Funeral Home at 4980 Merrick Road between 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday.  His funeral is scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Rose of Lima R.C. Church, also in Massapequa, followed by burial at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale immediately after the service.

Trump is a Commodity – $DJT

Trump Wave Goodbye

The Biden-Harris campaign attempted to nickname Trump the “Broke Don” after the NY courts attempted to extort his fortune. They will need a new term as Trump is now a wealthier man than he was before the case. Trump unleashed a media stock ($DJT) on the Nasdaq that spiked 50% from its IPO on the first day of trading. He owns a 58% stake in the company.

Obviously, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. will be an extremely volatile stock. Its creation aims to gauge the public perception of Donald Trump as a commodity, and a call option on the entire MAGA political strategy. Moreover, Trump can use his stake holdings to secure a loan, although he said he would be paying his reduced bond in cash. He would need to wait at least six months before selling.

This is certainly a unique political strategy that is raising brows on both sides. Trump is a capitalist at his core. He will slap his name on any product or company and sell it, be it sneakers, wine, meat, or even Bibles. Say what you want, but he manages to come out on top after every attack and finds a way to turn a crisis into a profit. He is now listed as one of the top 500 billionaires on the Forbes list.

Now, this could certainly backfire for Trump. Some investors see it as a means of supporting the MAGA movement and are not using it as a real long-term investment. They want to support the cause and are not deeply invested. Still, there are those who do not truly understand the purpose of $DJT and could lose out, which would lead to extreme backlash from his supporters. Companies are often delisted from exchanges, and I am sure people are already looking at ways to remove this listing. Time will tell whether this was a clever or catastrophic move.

President Trump Blasts Juan Merchan’s Conflict of Interest and Familial Opposition – Insufferable “Hush Money” Lawfare Case


Posted originally on the CTH on March 27, 2024 | Sundance 

The New York “hush money” lawfare case against President Trump was always the most ridiculous.  The Supreme Court previously ruled in the Bob McDonnell (VA Gov) case, that politicians can use campaign payments to assist their personal position and not report them.

Example: A politician gets a face-lift which seemingly makes them a better-looking candidate and improves their electability; but they don’t report it.  It’s not an example of honest services fraud, because the action of the politician has no bearing of political policy influence.  The same applies to paying off people to keep their mouth shut and retain the impression of the candidate.

Michael Cohen previously gave a written statement to the FEC that candidate Trump knew nothing of the payment he made to Stormy Daniels.  [LINK] Again, everyone forgets that key detail.  And according to the latest reporting, Cohen might have set the entire thing up as an extortion effort against Trump.  Regardless, you enter the NYC ‘Stop Trump’ judicial system and Lawfare finds a home to explore stupid stuff for public consumption.

The Judge in the case, Juan Merchan, triggered a gag order against President Trump, in an attempt to silence him and stop him from talking about all the sketchy details in the background of the case, as well as all the sketchy people associated with it.

As you know, Lawfare is a media narrative function using the court system.  The Lawfare operation needs a quiet target to work best.   President Trump is not a quiet target – hence, the gag order.

Today, President Trump calls attention to Judge Merchan and his family of leftists, which includes his daughter who has bragged on social media about her anti-Trump bonafides.  Trump blasted the obvious conflict of interest and transparent appearance of judicial bias.

TRUTH SOCIAL – Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional “order,” as he continues to try and take away my Rights.

This Judge, by issuing a vicious “Gag Order,” is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!

Page 2: So, let me get this straight, the Judge’s daughter is allowed to post pictures of her “dream” of putting me in jail, the Manhattan D.A. is able to say whatever lies about me he wants, the Judge can violate our Laws and Constitution at every turn, but I am not allowed to talk about the attacks against me, and the Lunatics trying to destroy my life, and prevent me from winning the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am dominating?

Maybe the Judge is such a hater because his daughter makes money by working to “Get Trump,” and when he rules against me over and over again, he is making her company, and her, richer and richer. How can this be allowed?

The Judge has to recuse himself immediately, and right the wrong committed by not doing so last year. If the Biased and Conflicted Judge is allowed to stay on this Sham “Case,” it will be another sad example of our Country becoming a Banana Republic, not the America we used to know and love.

These are Election Interfering Witch Hunts. We will crush each one of these Hoaxes, and Make America Great Again! {LINK}

(VIA AP) – […] The gag order, which prosecutors had requested, bars Trump from either making or directing other people to make public statements on his behalf about jurors and potential witnesses in the hush-money trial, such as his lawyer turned nemesis Michael Cohen and porn star Stormy Daniels. It also prohibits any statements meant to interfere with or harass the court’s staff, prosecution team or their families.

It does not bar comments about Merchan or his family, nor does it prohibit criticism of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the elected Democrat whose office is prosecuting Trump.

In a statement, a spokesperson for New York’s state court system said that claim was false and that the social media account Trump was referencing no longer belongs to Loren Merchan. It appears to have been taken over by someone else after she deleted it about a year ago, court spokesperson Al Baker said.”

The account on X, formerly known as Twitter, “is not linked to her email address, nor has she posted under that screenname since she deleted the account. Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned,” Baker said.

Messages seeking comment were left for Loren Merchan and Trump’s campaign.

Trump did not link to the purported photo, but an X account under the name “LM” showed a photo illustration of an imprisoned Trump as its profile picture Wednesday morning. It was later changed to an image of Vice President Kamala Harris as a child.

Loren Merchan’s consulting firm had linked to that account in its social media posts in past years, but it is now private with no posts displayed and states that it joined the platform in April 2023, after Baker said she deleted it. (more)

That’s their story, and they are sticking to it.

Apparently, the court in New York City is saying the social media account of the Judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, a severe leftist, was abandoned and taken over by another user.  lolol

You think the judge would accept that type of defense argument in his court?

This case is an absolute sham of judicial Lawfare.

LOOK:

Shares of Trump Media Skyrocket Early in First Day of Trading


Posted originally on the CTH on March 26, 2024 | Sundance 

Oh, the short sellers are going to be big mad, even hurt, as the shares of President Trump’s media stock [Digital World Acquisition Corp] skyrocket in early trading.

On the first day of public trading the DWAC stocks, which trade under NASDAQ id “DJT”, opened at $49.95 and investors quickly began purchasing, pushing the stock value to the $70 range as of this writing.

President Trump holds a near 60% of the DJT company stock, so his wealth on paper jumps BIGLY.

It really should not be that much of a surprise (unless you are a committed leftist who believe they are in the majority) to see the stock quickly gain support.  Many people, me included, have noted the background data -hidden by most media discussion- always reflected the pragmatic MAGA movement is the majority view.  There are far more of us than them, they just control the optics.

It must be painful for NBC to report on these results. lol

(NBC) – Former President Donald Trump’s social media company got off to a quick start in its stock market debut Tuesday.

Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, shot up more than 50% in its first minutes of trading. The quick move triggered a trading halt of five minutes, which exchanges use to put a check on volatile stock moves.

Shares cooled slightly after trading resumed. The stock was up about 40% on the day as of an hour into trading.

Shareholders in shell company Digital World Acquisition Corp. voted Friday to approve a merger with Trump’s social media company. The long-expected deal effectively took Trump Media & Technology Group into the public market, allowing people to easily buy and sell its stock.

The stock, which now trades under the ticker DJT on the Nasdaq exchange, is being closely watched in large part because its fortunes could have a major impact on Trump’s strained finances. The former president’s net worth, at least on paper, is now at over $6 billion, according to Bloomberg. (read more)

You can follow the stock shift HERE.

Congratulations to Truth Social’s Devin Nunes who worked exceptionally hard to achieve this outcome.

MAGA!

I haz smile.

.

I know it can be overwhelming at times to find optimism against all of this corruption, but the choice of joy is ours.

Every time you enjoy your day, you are winning.  Every time to do not let them steal your peace of mind, you defeat them.  Every time you embrace the simple joys of the sun on your face or the breeze upon you, and you do it with gratitude and genuine thankfulness for this blessed life we are able to live, you defeat every element of darkness that would whisper on your shoulder.

Ultimately, this is what living your best life is about.  Life is about choices.  Choose to be happy, make a conscious effort to cherish and appreciate the people around you. Give that starter smile; if you have the time – give up your place in line to someone who doesn’t; open the door, help your neighbor, do something random and useful and good, and do it as much as you can.

Find a way to generate and express grace, even in the face of hate and bitterness.  Be wise, perhaps cynical, and be strategic.  Be cautious and yet do not allow coarseness to become your center of gravity.

In the face of all adversity and disenchantment, keep peace within yourself.  Live with the joy our loving God provides and fearlessly live your best life.

Love to all,

The US Government’s Plan for Social Security


Posted originally on Mar 26, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Social Security Cards

When questioned about the future of Social Security by the Senate Finance Committee, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted that Biden “doesn’t have a plan.” There could be no possible plan for an ongoing Ponzi scheme that will fail once the fund runs out of money.

Estimates believe Social Security will reach insolvency before 2034. “I don’t have that computation to offer you,” before saying, “The president doesn’t have a plan. He has principles.” Principles do not put food on the table.

Of course, lawmakers immediately look at raising our taxes. “I’ll note that there’s already been $4.9 trillion in new taxes proposed for those making over $400,000 a year. It seems to be the go-to place, fill in the blank, we’re going to tax those over $400,000 a year for whatever,” Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., told Yellen. “Of that $4.9 trillion, none of that has been dedicated to Social Security.” We are raising taxes to fund extravagant climate change packages and wars. None of the money we give to our government goes back into the community.

The likelihood of Social Security remaining as it is today is ZERO. There is more likely to be a huge split in interest rates from the private sector compared to the public at the federal level.

As I have stated before, I donated my time to work with Congress back in the ’90s in an attempt to reform Social Security, transforming it into a wealth fund that was allocated out among managers. I was even shuttling between the Chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee, Bill Archer, and the House Majority Leader Dick Army. I argued for the privatization of Social Security to allow it to become a wealth fund and allow it to invest in equities. The Democrats would not vote for it, so this is why Social Security today cannot survive. Social Security invests 100% in government bonds, meaning it does not even earn a fair interest rate.

The Democrats painted this private investment as “risky,” and they voted against it. So, Social Security invests 100% in government bonds. Let’s see. The Fed lowered the interest rates to “stimulate” the economy. The net effect is that Social Security is simply a slush fund with no possible economic growth. The loss has come at the “opportunity risk” of leaving the money in bonds.

I laid out the structure for allocating money according to the track record of the manager. I was doing this because I had no interest in managing money of this nature. The Democrats wanted to replace the fund managers at will when they retook the majority. I explained that this decision should not be political. I did not care if the fund manager voted Democrat or Republican. That just never sunk in. Had Social Security simply become a wealth fund as so many nations around the world have adopted, it would NOT be in danger of a financial crisis today.

Now, I do not believe they will stop paying Social Security, but they could reduce payments and continue raising the age at which recipients may receive benefits, especially since the average life expectancy for Americans is on the decline. Take Venezuela for example. They honor their pensions, but what you get today will buy only a cup of coffee. Yet another major government-created crisis that could have been avoided.

Finally – House Subcommittee Chairman Pete Sessions Starts Looking at Root of DC Lawfare Activity


Posted originally on the CTH on March 24, 2024 | Sundance 

Representative Pete Sessions is Chairman of the Subcommittee for Govt Operations and the Federal Workforce within the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee.  The subcommittee has a few key Republican representatives, including Clay Higgins and Byron Donalds, who are aligned with MAGA, Donald Trump, pushback against the weaponization of our modern UniParty government – and they appear as allies in the effort to stimulate a larger awakening amid the American electorate.

As readers here are very aware, I am exceptionally frustrated with the willful blindness that permeates most of our Republican representatives. The GOP reps ignore the root causes of the problems and choose to focus on the politics of narratives.  As a result, congressional hearings, soundbites, letters written etc. generate nothing that stops the weaponization of govt. Quite simply, there are specific people within the administrative state that are the core of the corrupt activity.

These deep DC embeds, bureaucrats within a system behind the politicians, are never identified, called out or held accountable by the politicians or political staff who assist the elected representatives.  This is a big problem, and their willful blindness creates an outcome where the corrupt status quo continues despite grand pontifications and sternly worded letters intended to satiate the victims – We The People.

The current status is as if the politicians are afraid of the IC-assisted bureaucrats within it.  This reality creates the frustration that most people feel, yet few can accurately identify.  However, if we can get a few politicians to accurately identify and target some very specific and corrupt people within the deep state, then we begin a process where the weeds of corruption begin getting pulled out by their roots.

Chairman Pete Sessions (TX-CD17) appears to have taken the first step in what could be a very lengthy process of sunlight.  Chairman Sessions has sent a preservation letter to Georgetown University School of Law, identifying a couple of people at the root of the problem, Rosa Brooks and Mary McCord. {SEE HERE}

RED STATE – […] Sessions specifically singled out Professor Mary B. McCord for Brooks’ attention. McCord is now the executive director of the Georgetown University School of Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protections, or ICAP. 

Just as Brooks is no utility player, neither is McCord.

Before McCord joined Brooks’ team at Georgetown, she was a holdover from President Barack Obama, serving in the early months of the Trump administration.

As the acting assistant attorney general for the National Security Division, McCord worked with another Obama holdover, acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, worked together to kneecap National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn.

The subcommittee chairman quoted McCord in the letter from an interview she gave to NBC News, in its Jan. 14 web article, “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” 

McCord told NBC: “We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to.”

The congressman then made a request:

Please define if Professor McCord and her colleagues are conducting this hyperpartisan activity under the auspices of ICAP—an entity which is described as a ‘non-partisan institute within Georgetown University Law Center.

(continue reading). 

While both Brooks and McCord are key players within a corrupt network, it is Mary McCord who can be directly traced to the origin of every attack against President Donald Trump and his administration.

There is not a single element of the Lawfare construct targeting Donald Trump that does not trace in origination back to Mary McCord.

To give you an idea of the scope of influence of Mary McCord as a key functionary, consider what we can document.

♦ McCord submitted the fraudulent FISA application to spy on Trump campaign (2016).

♦ McCord created the “Logan Act” claim used against Michael Flynn and then went with Sally Yates to confront the White House (2017).

♦ McCord then left the DOJ and went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on their impeachment teams (2018).

♦ McCord organized the CIA rule changes with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson. [Atkinson was McCord’s general counsel when she was acting head of the DOJ-National Security Division.] That 2019 coordination, with her former colleague, created the baseline for the false claims of National Security Council member Alexander Vindman and the Ukraine-narrative impeachment effort.

♦ McCord led and organized the House joint committee impeachment effort, in the background, using the evidence she helped create (2019).

♦ McCord joined the FISA Court to protect against DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s newly gained NSD oversight and his review of the Title-1 surveillance warrant – the FISA that targeted Carter Page.  A FISA warrant McCord originally constructed and submitted to the FISA court a few years earlier (2019).

♦ McCord then joined the J6 Committee helping to create all the Lawfare angles they deployed (2021).

November 3, 2021 – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (read more)

♦ McCord then coordinated with DA Fani Willis in Georgia (2022).

January 10, 2024 –  Georgia prosecutors probing Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election got an early boost in the spring of 2022. It came from another set of investigators who were way ahead of them: the House Jan. 6 select committee.

Committee staff quietly met with lawyers and agents working for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in mid-April 2022, just as she prepared to convene a special grand jury investigation. In the previously unreported meeting, the Jan. 6 committee aides let the district attorney’s team review — but not keep — a limited set of evidence they had gathered. (read more)

♦ McCord is working with Special Counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump (2023 through today).

In short, Mary McCord is the Lawfare string that winds through every legal ‘stop Trump’ effort; yet, until now no one has ever called her out!

January 2024 – […] “We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration. They’re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look. (more)

DWAC Voting Members Approve President Trump’s Truth Social Platform for Public IPO


Posted originally on the CTH on March 23, 2024 | Sundance

Shareholders of Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC) approved a merger with Donald Trump’s media company Truth Social on Friday, setting the stage of an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the social media network.

With the approved merger, President Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social is now preparing to go public on the stock market at a current valuation of $6 billion. President Trump owns about 60% of Truth Social, ultimately the IPO could net him a possible $3.5 billion gain in net worth – at least on paper.

MEDIAITE –  […] Trump Media & Technology Group will now trade on the stock market under DJT.

The New York Times reported that the deal will put $300 million into Trump’s media company, giving a cash infusion to keep Truth Social running. The merger also means that the stock market price for Trump’s media company will reportedly be $5 billion, giving Trump a personal stake of $3 billion. That wealth on paper may not help the former president in covering the bond though.

The Times first reported the merger:

Based on Digital World’s stock price of $44 a share just before the vote announcement, Trump Media will debut with a market value of more than $5 billion. That means Mr. Trump’s personal stake will be worth more than $3 billion.

Shares of Trump Media could begin trading under the new stock symbol as soon as next week.

The deal’s approval comes as Mr. Trump is facing a Monday deadline to cover a $454 million penalty in a civil fraud case in New York. He is restricted for six months from selling any his shares or using them as collateral for a loan, although he could ask the board of the merged company to waive that rule for him. (read more)

Given the middle finger it represents, it is quite likely the large voter base of the MAGA movement will support DJT and purchase stock in the Trump venture.  That could push the value even higher and net an even larger financial outcome for President Trump.  We’ll have to wait and see.

Intellectual Froglegs – Orange Crush – Election Season Edition


Posted originally on the CTH on March 17, 2024 | Sundance

Comrades, the rebellious messenger Joe Dan Gorman has transmitted again in a coded frequency only receivable by patriots with a funny bone. The secret message uses humor thereby ensuring communists and leftists, aka ‘democrats’, are incapable of receiving or deciphering it.

The subversive election season transmission comes from deep in the underground bunker of the Rebel Alliance. {Direct Rumble Link HERE} Pull out those super-secret decoder rings, smile and enjoy the broadcast moment before the deep state satellite interception trucks show up on your driveway…

[Direct Rumble Link] – [Website Here]

Legend tells us that Alexander the Great gave his generals three final commands as he lay dying.  #1 Only the best doctors should carry his coffin.  #2 All of his wealth should be scattered during the funeral procession.  #3 His arm and hand should remain unwrapped, hanging from his coffin and highly visible.

When questioned about those instructions the 33-year-old King of Macedonia and conqueror of Achaemenid Persia explained his three reasons.  First, every soul should know that even the best doctors of Kings cannot defeat death.  Second, the riches we accumulate mean nothing, they remain of no value as we leave.  Third, and most importantly, our hands leave this life as empty they came in, and the truest treasure here on earth is time.

Alexander’s final orders are an apt reminder to live our best life.

The moments we create with our time are the value of life….

…MAKE YOURS PRICELESS!
