Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

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!
The NTSB gives an update on the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, following the impact of a Singaporean-flagged cargo ship, the Dali.
According to the update, 56 containers of hazardous materials were on board, including corrosive flammable cells, lithium ion batteries, and other hazardous materials. Some of the HAZMAT containers were compromised and some fell into the water. The briefing also gives a preliminary outline as an outcome of an initial review of the voyage data recorder (VDR) for six hours 00:00 to 06:00 on the morning of the impact. The timeline discussion occurs at 11:00 of the video below. WATCH:
(Via Fox News) -[…] Homendy said the investigation would be a “massive undertaking” that is expected two take one to two years. She added that the NTSB will not hesitate to issue urgent safety recommendations during that time frame. A preliminary report is expected in only two to four weeks.
Part of the investigation will be determining what caused the ship to lose power before hitting the bridge. The source of that outage remained unknown as of Wednesday, Homendy said.
As we noted yesterday, assuming the general termination clause in any employment contract exists, Ronna McDaniel is likely to get fully paid the terms of her 2-year previously signed contract amount as her firing was simply a breech by the hiring company, NBC.
Politico is reporting the former RNC chair is likely to receive exactly that. Her two-year contract was for $300,000/yr totaling $600,000.
McDaniel was fired after one Meet the Press interview less than 20 minutes in duration. Now she will likely get the full contract payment.
Politico – […] The ramifications of NBC’s decision yesterday to part ways with former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel just two days after her paid network debut on “Meet the Press” are just starting to shake out. But they could be expensive.
McDaniel expects to be fully paid out for her contract — two years at $300,000 annually — since she did not breach its terms, according to a person close to McDaniel. That means that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost NBC more than $30,000 per minute, or $500 per second.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Tucker Carlson interviews his friend Tulsi Gabbard. Those who remember Tucker Carlson’s term on Fox News will remember Gabbard as a frequent guest of his on the show. Within this interview it is easy to spot the “as you well know” aspect to the length and depth of their friendship.
Tulsi Gabbard was former Vice-Chair of the DNC and a strong supporter and advocate for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democrat presidential primary. Within the interview, Tucker emphasizes the possibility of Gabbard as a selection for a Donald Trump running mate. In fact, the topic is so frequent within the interview, it appears the primary purpose of the interview itself is to strengthen Gabbard as a VP possibility.
The interview has the feeling of intent within it; a feeling of script; perhaps, a feeling of a pantomime playing out in the form of an interview. The emphasis for Gabbard’s value is shaped in the interview narrative that ‘foreign policy’ would be her benefit to President Trump. However, as noted by the experience of the first term of President Trump, and as noted within the outcomes of that term, Trump’s foreign policy is quite good with him at the helm of it. WATCH:
As a possible policy emissary, or deputy in-line cabinet member, Tulsi Gabbard has some value. [Deputy, not Primary] However, as a Vice President the ‘trust factor’ must remain the most important element to the success of term two. As a result, from my perspective, Tulsi “Bernie” Gabbard would be a, “nice try Tucker,” but no.

Last Friday, NBC announced they had hired former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. Today, after much backlash over her hiring, they fired her.
Assuming there is an ordinary and/or reasonable termination clause in her contract, Ronna likely just became one of the highest paid political/media personalities for 3-days of work. Sheesh, what a hot mess.
WASHINGTON – NBC and Ronna McDaniel have severed ties following unprecedented internal backlash over the network’s decision to hire her as a political analyst, including top NBC personalities denouncing the move on-air.
“After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor,” NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde wrote in a message to employees. (read more)
The move appears to be an effort to appeal to the Bernie Sanders, ecology-centric, radical leftist, earth-saving environmentalist wing of the Democrat base voter. Positioning the ticket to carve out a younger voting bloc and stir interest amid the Sanders/AOC crowd.
Shanahan had previously donated $4 million to the SuperPAC supporting Robert Kennedy Jr and given thousands of dollars to the Soros funded progressives in politics and activism circles. Shanahan was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, one of the wealthiest men in the world; the financial windfall from their divorce funded her ability to contribute heavily to far-left causes.
(Via CNN) – As a video introducing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, played to supporters in Oakland on Tuesday, the campaign crystallized the partnership by distributing “Kennedy/Shanahan” signs to the crowd.
Kennedy named Shanahan as his vice presidential pick Tuesday, introducing her as “my fellow lawyer, a brilliant scientist, technologist, a fierce warrior mom, Nicole Shanahan.”
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.
