Ehh, this could be problematic for the progressive leftists and the orange-man bad persecution efforts. Sunlight dear friends. Fear not, no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
Judge Juan Merchan, the judge in charge of President Donald Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan, apparently donated money to Joe Biden and Democrat efforts to remove President Trump from office. At least that’s what the FEC records say.
However, the FEC records show Judge Merchan made the donations through “Act Blue,” the DNC funding mechanism; the same Act Blue organization now shown by James O’Keefe to have laundered money through various unaware Democrat donors. So, there’s a possibility Judge Merchan may not have made the actual donations but is just another random name the Act Blue laundry used. A possibility I might add, that’s buckets of irony.
NEW YORK – Judge Juan Merchan, the jurist handling former President Donald Trump’s criminal case in Manhattan, donated $35 to Democratic causes in 2020, including $15 to President Biden’s campaign and $10 to a group dedicated to “resisting … Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy.”
Federal Election Commission records show Merchan made three small-dollar donations within the span of two days in July 2020 through ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s preferred online fundraising platform.
The veteran judge contributed $15 earmarked for the “Biden for President” campaign on July 26, 2020, and then the following day made $10 contributions to the Progressive Turnout Project and Stop Republicans.
The Progressive Turnout Project’s stated mission is to “rally Democrats to vote,” according to the group’s website.
Stop Republicans is a subsidiary of the Progressive Turnout Project and describes itself as “a grassroots-funded effort dedicated to resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy.” (read more)
Remember folks, we are in a spiritual battle now against the combined elements of evil enterprise.
Prayer works. Favor, anointing and righteousness cannot manifest without it.
ISAIAH 54:17 – “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD.“
Dear God, heavenly Father of mercy and righteousness, we ask you to place your armor of protection upon President Donald Trump.
Lord God, creator of the balance that sustains us, we ask you to stabilize us amid this conflict with wicked enterprise – guide our prayer with resolute purpose.
Father of comfort, please steady us and help our unwavering resolve to stay focused & steadfast against the manipulation. God of righteousness bring sunlight upon evil enterprise and deliver Your outcome. In Your merciful and loved name, dear Lord of peace, clear the path, remove the enemy constructs and dissolve the hurdles.
Heavenly Father, united we beg for Your favor in these moments of national upheaval, knowing that only through You will we find victory. Please God protect this fearless man of the people; provide his counsel wisdom and fortitude for battle; and strike silent the tongues of the deceivers.
Lord God, I beg You for these things – with full resolve, full affirmation of Your power, and submission to Your true purpose in our creation…. Thy will be done.
~ Amen
There’s that word ‘Sunlight’ again.
Where did I see that earlier today on this site?
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign ………
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
THY WILL BE DONE!! AMEN!
There is no longer even the ATTEMPT to try to look impartial.
The Soviets were a lesson in FAILURE, yet the Progressives keep looking up their old manuals!
…yup….makes me wonder if this situation would actually feel awkward to them? I wouldn’t assume it does. Shame and awkwardness at “being caught” doesn’t seem to be part of their experience. Dunno.
As correctly stated above, this is a spiritual battle and the puppets of evil like this judge have zero sense of right and wrong or moral correctness. They’re blind. With that FEC disclosure yesterday totally destroying any twisting of these charges into criminal offenses, and now the judge’s anti-Trump donations, if he doesn’t dismiss this garbage at the first possible motion to dismiss, the appeal of his trash rulings will sink him and the whole fraud.
“…the puppets of evil like this judge have zero sense of right and wrong or moral correctness.”
Yes. Which is why the absence of self-awareness (in terms of how others see the situation) probably protects them from any experience of awkwardness.
They’ll just be mad that it didn’t work.
Facts vs Truth…We all have our own ‘Truths’…But Facts are Facts…H2O in its’ fluid state puts out fire…But at certain point, becomes fire…Burned by their own water~always my humble opinion..
Barring something unusual, any motion to dismiss will not be granted before December 4.
We are already in the election cycle. Look for the Georgia case indictment by early summer and/or more & continuous leaks from the Special Counsel case re the classified docs/J6/2020 election fraud as well.
Anything to take the spotlight away from FJB & his basement campaign.
The Bolsheviks murdered 60 million patriot Russians… and bankrupted the rest of the Russian nation. Not a failure by their measure.
That is true they caused massive destruction to the Russian people and Nation, but in 1991, the Soviet Nation ended. Evil can be overcome. Evil can be defeated.
These powers arrayed against Pres. Trump do so out of fear of him and us and not of confidence in their evil cause.
The unwelcome termites do this in every strong tree that lets them in. Just reading “To My Legionnaires” this eve. Excellent thus far, though I’m only ~ 1/3 through it ; an account of the Romanian side of the bronx-bolshevik genocidal decades …

The only difference between a Democrat and a Flying Pig…
The ‘F’ 🙂
Yes indeed, ‘lose the F.’
In other words, democrats just need to “F” off.
So, what is the difference between REPUBLICANS, Like Mitch, Mitt, Liz, Lisa, etc. and a flying pig?
QUIT using “Democrat” when you presumably mean UNIPARTY D & R.
For any MAGA Candidate, the campaign is a gauntlet, that must be run, and the primary impediment to victory is REPUBLICANS, acting in concert with their Democrat comrades.
Indeed, Dutch, indeed.
Amen.

What about the daughter of the judge who worked or works for Biden/Harris campaign as well.
That cheap SOB judge gave a whole $65 dollars ?
Looking at pictures of this judge you can tell there is nothing in his courtroom that is guided by the constitution or rule of law and he should be stripped of his robe and little hammer.
A whole lot of leftie commie judges need to be shown the door of hell
Either he gave the $65 and should recuse himself for obvious prejudice or the money was illegally donated in his name, as James O’Keefe has documented is being done, and if so where did the money come from?
Bingo! And there lies the irony of the matter.
The judge is either shown to be compromised in his prejudice or he denies making the donations. Thereby, exposing the corruption/laundering practices of Act Blue or forcing the judge to recuse.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Judge Juan Merchan, an immigrant from a Banana Republic. Unbelievable.
A judge IN a banana republic, now.
He’s just yearning for some familiarity from home.
It is reported that he is from Columbia.
Isthmian legend of the early, very early 1970’s spoke of a school of pick pocketing in Columbia.

I introduced a friend at work to CTH about 2.5 years ago. When he first started reading a few articles, he commented to me, that he thought the content in general was good, he was a bit put off by the Christian points of view and religious references.
He, over time, became a CTH enthusiast and regular reader.
About a year ago, he sent me a link to a bible study series on the internet.
Interesting.
Being an individual that was never involved in any church growing up.
Although I was enthralled with the site, the religious side to it though was of little interest.
However.
Now many years later I enjoy many of the comments and posts on religion and ask for Gods direction daily.
Menagerie ( sp) is especially interesting.
I even have a Bible by my bed, although it is not opened as often as it likely should be. 🙁
Cheers!
Get a copy of Phillip Keller’s A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. And start reading about the Good Shepherd. One of the best commentaries on the most beloved Psalm and he is isn’t really a theologian. Might inspire a love of God’s word.
👍
Thank you for this suggestion. I just ordered it.
great book.
Dear Dekester, you are an honest man, the Lord loves an honest righteous man. The Kingdom of heaven is yours for the asking.
God bless you, pacnwbel.
The majority of the time😉
That was the nicest compliment I’ve ever seen Dekester.
It is my belief/understanding that most references (in the bible) to “church” do not refer to a physical structure (a building) but to the PEOPLE.
With the structure of so many churches hierarchies having been corrupted, its no wonder I encounter people every day, that 5 minutes or less if conversation, we agree on everything i.e. they have a “treeper” mindset/ world view, and they first volonteer to me that they see this as a titanic battle between God and Satan.
But then they tell me in the next breath, how they don’t attend a formal church, because theycall seem corrupted.
Fellowship can be vital “food for the soul”, but the Bible is a great teaching tool, all by itself.Sure, for some people, having a guide, with soneone elses explanations can help, but it wasn’t written (I believe) to REQUIRE anyone else to interpret or explain.
In other words, you can “just READ it” and it WILL speak to you.
God’s word speaks–it is a living thing.
👍
Here is a life hack from God that you may appreciate. This account was when Moses was speaking to Israel.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.
Hope y’all are well up there in your part of Canada.
Similar things are occurring in places beyond the reach of this site. It’s nice to see more people realizing there is something much greater to worship than political power.
You did God’s work.
Maybe, in a very small way.
Sundance got me to return to my Christian roots as well.
I was raised as a Christian, decided I was an atheist in high school, decided I was an agnostic in college (atheism requires faith in non-belief of a higher power and is therefore a religion, in a sense).
I returned to the fold in no small part due to Sundance and the believers that frequent CTH.
Joemama welcome back your story and time line are not uncommon i smile and give a big AMEN every time someone returns to the fold be well God Bless
R.D.
Thank you.
God bless you, your family and friends.
Awesome!! Changing minds and changing hearts! The Lord works through Sundance and Menagerie!
I’ve no reason to believe the judge has honor enough to recuse himself, even if only for the appearance of impropriety.
I really don’t think that those donations were erroneous either, nor am I surprised.
A sitting trial judge is not allowed to make political donations. It is an ethical violation. So, there is that very good reason to object to him.
Of course.
I don’t think anyone in the New York DA’s office would do anything about it. Nor, the NY Bar association.
They got the judge that they wanted for this nonsense case. The process is going to last at long as they drag it out for.
He’s had the other Trump cases too for a reason
Massive massive evil
The paltry size of the donations argues against these being bogus donations made in his name, but not by him.
O’keefes story seemed to show such donation mules had significantly higher dollar amounts, madevin their names than this.
The dilemma given Act Blue was caught in hanky panky with alleged donations. So he did not do it…and its proven the info on Act Blue is right or…
He did do it and its an ethical violation? Dilemma.
And there s this…a friend in the medical consulting business alleges that lawyers are cheap when paying for their lower level consultants.
$65 dollars? Would that even cover yellow cab fare in Manhattan?
It’s a corrupt DA and a corrupt judge enabling it. Expect a corrupt jury to deliberate for an hour and issue a corrupt conviction.
The indictment doesn’t have to be legitimate. It’s a means to an end. The judge doesn’t have to be honest. He’s a means to an end. The stacked jury of NeverTrumper future CNN media celebrities doesn’t have to be fair. They’re a mean to an end.
Democrats believe they can disqualify Trump through a criminal conviction. They will not be deterred in their mania. Look at the tranny terrorists and ask yourselves if ANYONE who would allow those lunatics in public near children care about the judge’s donating habits.
Domocrats are not doing this in isolation.
Uniparty (R&D) are working to prevent PDJT from getting the nomination as their first “go-to” roadblock to the Oval.
Prevent him from getting/having the R nomination, Dems don’t have to try to beat him in the general, Uniparty (R&D) don’t have to fall back on stealing, yet again.
R’s used all of their standard tricks, to try to keep him off the ballot in 2016, and failed.
They had no option, but to have him run as an R, when running for reelection in 2020.
But they are detirmined to keep him off the ballot, in 2024.
The “insurrection” argument of the 14th amendment won’t work, was roadtested with 6 MAGA Congresspersons, courts struck it down each time.
RNC needs a credible excuse to keep him from having the nomination, and the “Democrat” wing is trying to manufacture an excuse, that the R wing can use.
And for that, convictions aren’t neccesary. Just indictments.
The silence from the R powers that be is deafening.
If anything, this confirms the snakes in the R party and they are working against us from Mitch down to Ronna…
“Stop Republicans is a subsidiary of the Progressive Turnout Project”???
A “subsidiary”? But they do the same damn thing? And probably run by the same damn people? Well, how convenient!
Just another place to wash money.
Nothing against the State.
We do not argue with those who disagree with us. We destroy them – Mussolini
Soon, asking for a non-fascist judge for your court case will be as absurd as asking for a non-Catholic judge in medieval Europe.
Amen
Oh, I’m sure Merchan will be fair.
HEAVY Sarcasm.
Edit: Shame on me, should have read the story better. These paltry donations are meaningless. My opinion of Merchan just went up, if he’s this cheap with the communists.
I believe your assessment is incorrect.
The small and few donations suggest:
Merchan is a tightwadThose donations were real, because if it were actblue donating in his name, there would have been a huge number of small donations, adding up to a lot of $
So if the donations are real, the fact that the tightwad donated to those causes, shows that Merchan is totally biased and must recuse himself (of course he won’t, because he is a marxist).
Amen
Onward Christian Soldiers…
Semper Fidelis
I mentioned here the other day that this judge was originally appointed by Michael Bloomberg, the leftist who ran as a Republican to get elected and then reverted to Democrap when he was going to run for the presidency.
The left, and particularly the leftist politicians have absolutely no ethics or morals.
Maybe the hapless judge is colorblind and mistakenly clicked on the donate button for Act Blue when he really meant to give to another colorful group such as Code Pink, Stop Red, BLM, Rainbow/PUSH, or Go Purple.
“I thought I was donating to the Red Cross.”
I thought that judges were restricted by Rule 4.1: Political and Campaign Activities of Judges and Judicial Candidates in General.
Yes. And in New York specifically,
“Section 100.5
A judge or candidate for elective judicial office shall refrain from inappropriate political activity.
(A) Incumbent Judges and Others Running for Public Election to Judicial Office.
(1) Neither a sitting judge nor a candidate for public election to judicial office shall directly or indirectly engage in any political activity except (i) as otherwise authorized by this section or by law, (ii) to vote and to identify himself or herself as a member of a political party, and (iii) on behalf of measures to improve the law, the legal system or the administration of justice.
Prohibited political activity shall include:
(a) acting as a leader or holding an office in a political organization;
(b) except as provided in Section 100.5(A)(3), being a member of a political organization other than enrollment and membership in a political party;
(c) engaging in any partisan political activity, provided that nothing in this section shall prohibit a judge or candidate from participating in his or her own campaign for elective judicial office or shall restrict a non-judge holder of public office in the exercise of the functions of that office;
(d) participating in any political campaign for any office or permitting his or her name to be used in connection with any activity of a political organization;
(e) publicly endorsing or publicly opposing (other than by running against) another candidate for public office;
(f) making speeches on behalf of a political organization or another candidate;
(g) attending political gatherings;
(h) soliciting funds for, paying an assessment to, or making a contribution to a political organization or candidate;….”

Clean up elections. Vote in person on voting day and prove your identity. Absently voting with good reason. Treat it as a license like driving or owning a firearm. You need ID to ride on a plane. Unless voting and financing campaigns isn’t cleaned up it’s over.
This part in quotes is not the case , Treat it as a license like driving or “owning a firearm”
I have tried to show my driver’s license when voting in California.
The violent reaction that ensues is quite weird. The people at the polls are trained to not look at IDs and will turn their heads around if you pull out ID.
Showing ID will do nothing until it is required by law.
I live in Az. I did NOT vote on election day, I voted by qualified absentee ballot, dropped in the box at the county recorders office.
By voting in person, on election day, MAGA R voters made it incredibly easy for them to disenfanchise MAGA R voters.
Yes, we WANT Same day, in person with voter i.d. but thats NOT what we HAVE, any more than we have paper ballots and single day results.
Fight the fight in front of you, not the fight you wish you had.
Fight smarter, not harder; in a fight to the death, emotions WILL kill you.
One of the problems with the right today is arrogance. The application “no weapon shall prosper” applies to believers only not everyone else in the world and Trump remains enigmatic on his beliefs. Yes prayers are limiting what evil can do in his case and anywhere else in the world but don’t expect things to go well, it can get worse.
Well, Poo.
dRATS have no shame. They used to hide their bias now its all out in the open and they dont care, they wear it with glee. Many judges need to be impeached. Cant help but think of the damage Ms. Linsey is doing by rubber stamping every Judgeship the Biden Junta brings before him.
Who thinks a judge who donated to groups resisting the Obama agenda or the Hillary Clinton agenda would ever be assigned to a trial of Obama or Hillary? Never would happen. But they can persecute Republicans with impunity. The whole system is disgraceful. And the Republican party is completely worthless. Not only is their leadership silent about this sham, half of them are smirking and hoping the Democrats fry Trump.
There are RINO Republicans, in control positions, leadership positions within State R parties, and using their control and influence to insure candidates are also RINOS.
And, they are closely aligned with the RNC, the national organisation.
They are not passive, and its not “1/2”; to a person the hate, fear and yet have contempt for US.
And then there are MAGA Republicans, 85 percent or more of “the Base” and working as volonteers and at the lower levels of the Party, and on MAGA-R Candidates campaigns.
And the latter are withdrawing their consent to be governed or controlled by the former, any more.
This is from the New York Courts website>
Seems to me the judge has some recusing to do.
(1) A judge shall not engage in financial and business dealings that:
(a) may reasonably be perceived to exploit the judge’s judicial position;
(b) involve the judge with any business, organization or activity that ordinarily will come before the judge
(A) Extra-Judicial Activities in General.
A judge shall conduct all of the judge’s extra-judicial activities so that they do not:
(1) cast reasonable doubt on the judge’s capacity to act impartially as a judge;
(2) detract from the dignity of judicial office; or
(3) interfere with the proper performance of judicial duties and are not incompatible with judicial office.
Perhaps a new daily post “Get Right with God” is in order at this time. I like the prayer beneath the tweet and The Whole Armor of God at the end. Saying that prayer daily, plus others that might be added by fellow treepers, will help us all get right with God. This isn’t a one and done deal. We need to be at it every day until we win, then afterwards to maintain our victory. Just MHO.
I suggest you check out the open thread, which is just below the Presidential thread, every day.
I call it my “refuge from the refuge” and when I am particularly in need of spiritual renewal, tired from battling the rolcons and trolls, I retreat to that sanctuary within a sanctuary, for refreshment and renewal.
I believe you will find it already meets the description of the thread you suggest?
I love information. thank you.
We’re dealing with a cult.
Yes indeed, SD, prayer works! And it is the first action to be used before we type out a letter to the human powers that be. I pray daily that those who are doing evil, be turned away from that evil, and turned towards Christ! I pray for those who are doing good, be uplifted, encouraged, and protected by the loving arms of Jesus!
Christ is my savior, my forgiver, and my KING!
Amen.
As a judge you shouldn’t be donating to anyone.
That guy looks a lot like Chris Wray. And they share the same expression.
Hah!
Thanks for the laugh!
Look up the battle hymn of republic it fits our honorable leader herhaps justice is opening her blind eyes, let the truth set us free.
You know, this is the same Judge who sentenced Trump’s CFO to Rikers for a tax issue, I believe. This info on the Judge may help him appeal his sentence as well.
Certainly will
Amen!
NY has a law that judges cannot donate to political campaigns/causes. If he did actually donate he should be impeached. No Mercy!

Grounds for an ethics investigation.
Better nudged near the tracks
Commie scum
Actually, this is one of those great stories, either way.
If we can make a big enough stink over it;
Either he recuses, or he doesn’t which further cements this is a witch hunt, or he insists he did NOT make those donations, which puts a spotlight on the illegal money laundering operation/illegal campaig funding of act blue, as exposed O’keefe.
Win, win, win.
Nope, not tired yet.
How are we going to make a stink if Propaganda Parrot Media and big tech squelch our voices and our reach?
How weird. It seems as if he just wanted to tag himself as dem without actually doing much. Very strange.
I agree whole heartedly with Sundances prayer, especially those last 4 words, “Thy will be done.”
With all the demonic things going on in our God given country, and the world, if His will prevails, we may reap His wrath. His Word is clear about what happens to a country that He has given birth to, that turns their back on Him.
But at this time in history, it’s not just this country, but the whole world that’s went insane/Demonic. And according to bible prophecies, it looks more like we are in the beginnings of the End Times, because of the one world order for everything, laws, banking, religion, etc.
The judge is compromised. Which seems to be the norm, in new york city.
Lauren, the daughter, is president of
Authentic Campaigns. They do “digital agency” for the who’s who list of radical left democrats…namely, biden, harris, newsom. as well as shiftface.
This company essentially is well funded to the tune of 30 million dollars and has raised over 300 million for their “clents” The donors are also a who’s who list of reprobates.
Lauren is married to a high level schmuck who works for the census bureau.
Now, I’m not saying I have any proof, but if let’s say you want to collect some very valuable demographic data….scoop up records of DEAD people…find out who is actually on the voter registry . (and who isn’t)….and do some funny business with state data…and you are married to a woman who by any standard has absolutely zero educational background or any prior work in data mining..(this is a scientific tradecraft), it might just be coincidental that your father presides over the marriage ceremony …..and that daughter winds up becoming the president of the “”digital agency”.
suspicious cat.
this is the clinton and the biden model…it’s the dc model of nepotism and cronyism…marked with some very peculiar relationships/marriages that are difficult to imagine as coincidental.

THY (not my) will be done.
There’s a third stooge involved with Merchan and Bragg, tht MSM that won’t report any of this.
I don’t know if Sundance reads these comments. I hope he does. I listened last night to a theory from Marc Groubert. His thoughts are that it makes no difference that the indictment is legal hogwash; that it was NEVER meant to be successful. His theory is that the point of this legal circus is to tie Trump up in court appearances, so that HIS RALLIES NEVER GAIN ANY MOMENTUM, as instead he must appear in court. The court schedule actually supports this theory. It’s Machiavellian, and shows the kind of playbook that we’re up against.
