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.

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!

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.

In an apparent move to stir up greater support from the hardline leftists in the progressive movement, RFK Jr has announced 38-year-old Nicole Shanahan as his Vice-Presidential running mate.

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.

If you followed my research on banking and the reality of the Russian sanction regime, this report from Reuters today takes on an entirely new dimension.

ME: …”The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in.  The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.” (more)

REUTERS TODAY: …”The firm [SWIFT] has gone from being virtually unknown outside banking circles to a household name since 2022 when it cut most of Russia’s banks off from its network as part of the West’s sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine. (more)

[The map shows the global financial cleaving, an outcome of sanctions against Russia]

I first started to deep dive research into these CBDC datapoints when the Russian sanctions were triggered.

You see, nothing about the sanctions really made sense from the way they were structured. Never before, not with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela or Cuba was the dollar weaponized against any entity who did not conform to the sanctions. Additionally, the intensity of the drive to make the sanctions the tip of the Western spear was just too pointed; something about it didn’t make sense. That’s what took me to dig deep into the sanction impact and realize nothing said about these financial sanctions made sense when compared against their actual outcome. {Go Deep}.

So, let’s start with the latest development:

(Reuters) – Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters.

The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT’s key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched.

Around 90% of the world’s central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don’t want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with technological complexities.

SWIFT’s head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took 6 months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and “tokenised” assets to date.

The New York State appeals court waited until the last minute to intervene and rule substantial modifications to the lower court ruling. [SEE pdf Here]

The timing here is transparently political.  The court could have intervened earlier with this decision but appears to have preferred to allow the Lawfare narrative the maximum amount of time to permeate the anti-Trump news cycle.  However, faced with the reality of a full appellate review later this year collapsing and reversing the underlying case, the NY court had few options other than timing their intervention.

The appeals court lowered the bond amount to the maximum possible in real terms.  Meaning the demand for a $454 million bond was never sustainable, explainable, or legally comprehensible under all precedent.  In reality it was an impossible bond for any organization to obtain, and ultimately that issue was going to lead to massive legal consequences within the New York state legal system.  They might hate Trump, but without intervention New York would be collapsing their corporate business structure.

The lower court ruling was stayed, and the bond was lowered to an obtainable $175 million for the appeal.  The lower court ruling against Trump organization officers was also stayed, allowing the corporate leadership of the various Trump organization LLCs to remain as they are.  All of the substantive elements of Judge Engoron’s verdict were stayed, pending appeal.

Attorney General Letitia James was left only with a public relations narrative to sell, saying in part, “the $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands.” Duh, pending appeal – which is transparently obvious and the point therein.

Once again, Lawfare at its root is a narrative weapon used primarily to sway public opinion.  AG James statement in response to the appeals court intervention is essentially an affirmation of this reality.

Appearing in New York to defend against another Lawfare operation, President Trump spoke briefly to the media after the ruling was made public.

It’s really not a matter of if Republican senators will leave the party in the lame duck session after a President Trump win in November; the question is: how many?

The predictability of the issue is actually quite simple.  {GO DEEP}  Almost all senators kneel at the altar of money, nothing else.  The GOPe senators will exhaust every weapon in their arsenal on behalf of their multinational financial benefactors, prior to the November 2024 election.  Once those narrative attack weapons are exhausted, they will take the deal and quit the party in their final political effort to retain affluence.

Accepting this reality, I asked the question a few weeks ago.  The largest number of respondents said 1 to 3 senators will resign the party.

[Source]

Lisa Murkowski switching parties is a no brainer. Susan Collins and Todd Young are two more possibilities. Mitt Romney has already announced he is leaving. Mitch McConnell has already announced he is stepping down from leadership and will not seek another term. A tenuous John Thune will only remain if he replaces McConnell. …. and so it goes.

I would bet on THREE Republican senators who will switch parties, but it could easily be more.

One thing is certain, those who do not switch/exit will remain as DeceptiCons and oppose: (a) any effort to confront the intelligence community they support; and (b) all Trump nominations, foreign or domestic policy, that threaten their place at the trough.

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.
