A Fired Up President Trump Cleverly Side-Steps Merchan’s Gag Order After Serial Liar Michael Cohen Testifies (VIDEO)

President Trump on Monday afternoon addressed the media after serial liar Michael Cohen testified in the ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.

Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen took the witness stand on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush payment’ lawfare trial against Trump in New York City.

Michael Cohen played audio of a secret recording he took between himself and his then-client Donald Trump. Attorney-client privilege is a right for every American — except Donald Trump.

Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts related to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ transaction.

Cohen on Monday testified he paid Stormy Daniels from his own pocket. Cohen used a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to pay Stormy $130,000.

President Trump once again used a clever trick to side-step crooked judge Juan Merchan’s gag order. He quoted other people and read press clippings.

Trump quoted Senator JD Vance: “Uh, JD Vance, what’s going on in that courtroom is a threat to democracy and we cannot have a country where you get to prosecute your political opponent instead of persuading voters.”

Next up Trump quoted the Iowa Attorney General: “Let the American people decide who the next leader of the free world will be.”

Trump also boasted about the New York Times poll that shows he is leading Joe Biden in 5 key swing states.

Biggest Rally Ever! How Wildwood Catapulted MAGA To Heights Never Seen Before In American History

President Trump’s rally on Saturday in Wildwood, New Jersey was historic for a number of reasons.  Its record-breaking, 100,000+ turnout was the largest political event in New Jersey history – and quite possibly, the largest presidential rally ever, at least in modern times.  Perhaps even more remarkable is the fact that such an historic turnout occurred in deep-blue New Jersey, a state that has not voted for a Republican president since George H.W. Bush way back in 1988, nearly forty years ago.

President Trump, who, in 2020, garnered more votes than any presidential incumbent in American history, regaled the south New Jersey crowd with tales of his ongoing political persecution in neighboring New York, which he decried a “witch hunt” being carried out by a rogue D.A. and judge, both acting ultimately at the behest of Joe Biden and his weaponized DOJ.

President Trump’s barnstorming speech touched upon a smorgasbord of topics – from the ongoing Biden witch hunts to the catastrophic open border to conflict-riven Israel and Gaza to China’s monopolization of the global auto industry.  From crime to inflation to the migrant crisis, President Trump, with arresting simplicity, articulated to his massive audience – many of whom endured unseasonably cool temperatures to catch a glimpse of the next President – how the Biden regime has caused virtually every single political malady afflicting America today.  He described Biden as the worst president of all time and said that Biden does not even compare to the previous worst ten, and now fifteen, presidents added up.

Never has a so-called “president” in Biden waged an all-out assault against his likeliest successor the way Biden has against Trump; in large part owing to that fact, Trump now commands significant leads in virtually every reputable mainstream poll.  What Biden is currently doing against Trump was, in the not-too-distant past, only seen in banana republics – never in American history has the Commander-in-Chief abandoned democracy and instead relied upon extralegal measures, like lawfare, election rigging, and flooding the electorate with third world aliens, to shore up his electoral prospects in the upcoming presidential race.

And indeed, the great lengths that Biden has taken to rig 2024 – much as the Democrats did four years ago – is testimony to Biden’s inability to win even under moderately rigged conditions.  The gospel narrative of the mainstream media that Biden somehow managed to collect 81 million votes in 2020, the most for any presidential nominee in history, has been completely shattered by his languishing poll numbers, the worst ever for an incumbent at this stage in his presidency since polling became commonplace.  Biden’s popularity has also been debunked by the current occupier’s rank inability to stimulate even a morsel of enthusiasm, to say nothing of producing actual flesh and blood supporters, to rally in his defense – a sharp and biting contrast to what President Trump demonstrated on that breezy south Jersey beach on Saturday.

President Trump’s crowd size led many pundits to speculate what it would take for Biden to generate an audience even a quarter the size of Trump’s estimated one tenth of a million that appeared – eagerly, enthusiastically (some waiting for days on end) – on the Jersey shore.  Could Biden even garner a crowd of, say, 5,000 in a purportedly “deep-blue” state like New York, the epicenter of “Fat” Alvin Bragg’s political persecution, or uber woke Commiefornia, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2 to 1?

And that speculation does not even account for Biden drawing a crowd approximately the size of Trump’s in a state as red as New Jersey is purportedly blue.  Biden allegedly defeated Trump by sixteen points in New Jersey in 2020.  Yet, nobody in their right mind would ever dream that Biden could generate even a remotely similar percentage in states like Indiana and Mississippi, both of which Trump carried by a roughly comparable sixteen-point margin in 2020.

The momentum is certainly on the side of President Trump and his growing base of supporters – a base that includes a burgeoning share of disenchanted and disenfranchised Independents and Democrats, who have been alienated for any number of reasons by Democrats and Joe Biden in recent years, and have in turn made it their priority to destabilize and weaken America.  So too does the presidential frontrunner’s base include a growing coalition of Hispanic and black voters, as well as other demographic groups that have traditionally not been aligned with the Republican Party.

These stark realities are reflected in the poll numbers registering voter sentiment in key swing states.  For example, the latest New York Times poll, which historically has been no friend of President Trump’s, showcases the 45th President leading Biden in five key swing states: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, and Nevada.  In addition, that same poll has President Trump tracking only two percentage points behind in Wisconsin (other polls notably have President Trump ahead in the Badger State) — within the margin of error. Wisconsin is a state that President Trump famously carried – smashing the infamous blue wall along the way – in his landmark 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.

And yet, despite the promising signs, the MAGA faithful should not rest on their laurels.  Given everything the base, and the country, has been through over the past nearly ten years – lawfare, witch hunts, FBI raids, deplatforming, censorship, gaslighting, being called every aspersion in the book by every mainstream institution, including leaders of both party establishments – we should be extra vigilant these next six months.  Indeed, it is our duty to do so.  Our due diligence must prioritize registering voters and regulating election procedures in the most important battleground states – most especially, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – which will make or break this November’s outcome.

One of the running themes of the Wildwood rally was “too big to rig” – and that’s true.  The 2024 election must be flooded with legal and legitimate votes – garnered by all sorts of mechanisms and policies, from vote by mail to ballot harvesting to other procedures the Left has used and weaponized against Republicans to shameless success in recent elections.  That must be our chief focus – and we must plan, ahead of time, to wage a counter-lawfare strategy against the Democrats, should the need arise to do so.  Skilled poll watchers and lawyers must be hired in every key battleground state and deployed within 10-15 key election sights within those four or five critical battlegrounds, to ensure every legitimate vote is counted, and no shenanigans reoccur in 2024, much as they did in 2020.

Resources must be allocated efficiently and strategically – not wastefully, as has become so commonplace in recent years in Washington with the egregiously gratuitous spending on foreign wars that do not concern the United States or its geopolitical interests.  It is much better to over prepare and not have to unleash one’s arsenal than to be blind-sighted and forced to dig oneself out of a ditch.  The principles underlying the adage “peace through strength” which so aptly defined and explained a great deal of the success of President Trump’s foreign policy during his first term should also apply to our general election strategy this November.

That is why, despite the unprecedented promise we are now observing in once blue strongholds like New Jersey and even New York, nothing should be taken for granted.  The narrative that President Trump may wind up winning these states is a great thing, and all that positive energy should continue.  But the focus must be on shoring up the battlegrounds, and then expanding from there – for that is the only way we can be certain of victory in November.

And President Trump, above any other president, deserves not only a victory, but a landslide this 2024 race.  His election victory would mark a paradigm shift in American presidential politics, arguably one greater in significance than Franklin Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, given just how high the stakes are this cycle.  An electoral mandate will give President Trump the political capital he needs to swiftly implement his agenda, hopefully with fewer roadblocks than his first administration, in order to lay the foundation for what will be a generational movement to Make America Great Again.

The winds are clearly blowing in his favor, it is up to us, his supporters, to fortify that victory once and for all.

SICK: Climate Scientist Suggests “Culling” the Human Population with a Deadly Pandemic to Solve the “Climate Crisis”

Credit: @ProfBillMcGuire

One government climate scientist made the mistake of blurting out the real end-game of so many radical environmental activists in a bid to preserve the planet: Killing off the human population.

Bill McGuire, a Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London (UCL), authored a tweet Sunday that lamented the fact carbon emissions were not falling nearly as fast as needed and suggested solving the “climate crisis” with a deadly pandemic to wipe out swaths of the human population.

“If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate,” he wrote.

Interesting thing to say. pic.twitter.com/HN6WiMR161

— RAW EGG NATIONALIST (@Babygravy9) May 13, 2024

After righteous backlash from social media users, McGuire deleted his post and whined that people were deliberately taking his words out of context.

RIGHT, I AM DELETING THE INITIAL TWEET NOW. NOT BECAUSE I REGRET IT, BUT BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE MISTAKENLY, OR INTENTIONALLY, TAKEN IT THE WRONG WAY. pic.twitter.com/5S65IIN8Rb

— Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire) May 12, 2024

He then lied and claimed that his initial post was about falling economic activity despite clearly referencing a pandemic killing off mankind.

It’s about suddenly falling economic avctivity. Not people dying.

— Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire) May 12, 2024

As the National Pulse notes, McGuire is infamous for being a member of a British government body that advised politicians on the COVID-19 response. He also co-authored a report for the radical United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which helps influence climate policy worldwide.

McGuire is also not the first leftist to suggest exterminating the human population to solve the planet’s issues. For example, infamous animal rights activist Jane Goodall once floated reducing the Earth’s population to what it was 500 years ago. A University of Texas professor also called for killing 90 PERCENT of all humans to save the planet.

The Biden regime is funding dangerous experiments that could turn these vile individuals’ dreams into a reality. The National Pulse reveals Peter Daszak, a researcher with ties to Anthony Fauci, is still receiving millions in taxpayer dollars to “research” not only coronavirus samples in Wuhan, but also to source new bat viruses from Burma, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, and other countries. Some of these pathogens are highly infectious.

American taxpayers are also funding risky Chinese research on the bird flu more transmissible, a disease that kills over 50% of the people it infects. COVID-19, by comparison, has a fatality rate of less than 1%.

These facts add fuel to the theory that COVID-19 was created as a trial run and globalists are planning to develop a far more deadly virus to provide a “final solution” to the human race.

Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker Blasts Joe Biden and Pro-Abortion Catholics in Commencement Speech at Benedictine College

Credit: Benedictine College

Harrison Butker, placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and three-time Super Bowl Champion, delivered a powerful commencement speech at Benedictine College on Saturday.

The college’s President, Stephen D. Minnis, expressed his enthusiasm for having Butker speak to the class of 2024, whose high school graduations were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Butker’s address was a fervent call to action for the graduates. He reflected on the challenges posed by COVID-19 but quickly pivoted to broader societal issues influenced by bad policies and poor leadership under the Biden regime.

He took aim at Joe Biden, denouncing his public display of Catholic faith in conjunction with his pro-abortion stance.

The NFL player’s speech was unflinching as he addressed what he considers to be a contradiction between Biden’s actions and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Butker accused Biden of being “delusional” for making the sign of the cross at a pro-abortion rally and suggested that such actions give the false impression that one can be both Catholic and pro-choice.

He extended his critique beyond Biden to other Catholics who support policies he finds problematic, including gender ideologies being promoted among America’s youth. Butker emphasized that merely being Catholic is not enough and warned against complacency within the Church.

Here’s the transcript of Harrison Butker’s speech:

“Throughout the COVID fiasco, you missed out on so many milestones the rest of us, older people, have taken for granted. While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique. Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.

Our own is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but, at the same time, is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure, to many people, it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice. He is not alone.

From the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common: they are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it. These are the things we are told in polite society not to bring up, the difficult and unpleasant things.

But if we are going to be men and women for this time in history, we need to stop pretending that the Church of Nice is a winning proposition. We must always speak and act in charity, but never mistake charity for cowardice. It is safe to say that over the past few years, I’ve gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind.

I never envisioned myself, nor wanted to have this platform, but God has given it to me, so I have no other choice but to embrace it and preach more hard truths about accepting your lane and staying in it. As members of the church founded by Jesus Christ, it is our duty and ultimately our privilege to be authentically and unapologetically Catholic. Don’t be mistaken, even within the church, people in polite Catholic circles will try to persuade you to remain silent.

There even was an award-winning film called “Silence,” made by a fellow Catholic, wherein one of the main characters, a Jesuit priest, abandoned the church and, as an apostate, when he died, is seen grasping a crucifix, quiet and unknown to anyone but God. As a friend of Benedictine College, His Excellency, Bishop Robert Barron, said in his review of the film, it was exactly what the cultural elite want to see in Christianity: private, hidden away, and harmless.

Our Catholic faith has always been countercultural. Our Lord, along with countless followers, were all put to death for their adherence to His teachings. The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We fear speaking truth because now, unfortunately, truth is in the minority.

Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail. But make no mistake, before we even attempt to fix any of the issues plaguing society, we must first get our own house in order, and it starts with our leaders.”

Democrat-Run California Imposes Secret 50-Cent Per Gallon Gas Tax

Meanwhile in the Democrat hellhole of California…

California is completely controlled by the Democrat party. Republicans have been snuffed out in the Golden State.

Major cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles are plagued by homelessness, violent crime and theft.

Californians are taxed to death as illegal aliens are given taxpayer-funded ‘free’ healthcare, housing and debit cards.

Now this…

An emissions reduction program by an environmental regulator will lead to a 50-cent per gallon of gasoline increase, according to a report by a state environment regulator.

Last year the California Air Resources Board (CARB) said gas prices would increase by 50 cents next year and every year after in order to reduce emissions.

This is in addition to California’s existing gas tax!

“The middle class, the low income, they can’t afford gas to go to school, work or grocery or the doctor’s office,” Janet Nguyen told Fox Business. “No one knows about this. I think people just think it’s a tax, so they don’t know the difference between the carbon tax versus the state tax. It’s almost like a tax on the tax.”

Excerpt from Fox Business:

A longstanding emissions reduction program may lead to a 50-cent increase in gasoline prices within two years in California, according to a little-known state air quality regulator report.

In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.

The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.

The air board staff later called the gas price hike projections “incomplete” in a December report, focusing instead on the cost savings to drivers as more people transition to EVs.

California’s air regulators previously voted to ban new gas-powered car sales by 2035.

100% of all cars sold in California by 2035 must be ‘free of fossil fuel emissions.’

“The climate crisis is solvable if we focus on the big, bold steps necessary to stem the tide of carbon pollution,” California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom said in a previous statement.

Because everyone has $70,000 to spend on a new car and $20,000 for a car battery replacement.

“This is monumental,” California Air Resources Board member Daniel Sperling told CNN in 2022. “This is the most important thing that CARB has done in the last 30 years. It’s important not just for California, but it’s important for the country and the world.”

It is unclear how California drivers will be able to charge millions of electric vehicles in a state plagued by rolling blackouts.

Left-Wing ‘Fact Checker’ Snopes Reverses Course and Fact-Checks Themselves — Forced to Admit Ashley Biden’s Diary Is REAL

Illustration by The Gateway Pundit

“Conspiracy Theorists” win again…

Leftwing fact-checking site Snopes has updated its stance on the authenticity of Ashley Biden’s diary, confirming that it is indeed real.

The Gateway Pundit first reported on Sunday, citing a letter from Ashley Biden dated April 8, 2024, addressed to Chief Judge Swain of New York. In this letter, Ms. Biden confirmed the authenticity of the diary, which had previously been reported as “stolen.”

This confirmation was submitted as part of a judicial proceeding against Aimee Harris, who was convicted of stealing and selling Ms. Biden’s personal journal.

It can be recalled that Aimee Harris, 41, was sentenced by Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to prison last month, followed by a period of home confinement for her role in the alleged theft and distribution of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden.

Aimee Harris, 39, found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house in Palm Beach in 2020 and sold it to Project Veritas for $40,000. As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Ashely Biden left her diary under a mattress at the Palm Beach rehab home following a stay at a treatment facility.  Aimee Harris and co-defendant Robert Kurlander later sold the diary to James O’Keefe and Project Veritas.

In a January 2019 entry, Ashley Biden recalled how she used to shower with her father, Joe Biden, and suggested it may have contributed to a sex addiction.

In the most frequently quoted section of her personal journal, Biden writes, “Hyper-sexualized @ a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so – I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma – I remember not liking the woolzacks house; I remember somewhat being sexualized with [a cousin]; I remember having sex with Friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate). Being turned on when I wasn’t supposed to be,” according to National File.

Joe Bidens daughter Ashley Biden has now confirmed that the famous diary is 100% real!
This also makes it 100% clear that Joe Biden is a sick pedophile and his fake Doctor wife Jill Biden, is an enabler. pic.twitter.com/iGjKozWEcT

In her heartfelt letter, made public by The New York Times, Ashley Biden described the significant emotional distress caused by the theft and the invasion of privacy from the subsequent online exposure of her private reflections.

She emphasized that her writings were “stream-of-consciousness” musings intended for personal healing and vehemently stated that the contents had been “grossly misinterpreted” and used to “lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”

Read her letter below:

I am deeply saddened that I even have to write this letter because my personal private journal was stolen and sold for profit. The point of the theft, I assume, was to be able to peddle grotesque lies by distorting my stream-of-consciousness thoughts. The reason I have decided to not attend tomorrow’s sentencing in person is because it would only increase my pain. Nonetheless, I write to ask Your Honor to sentence the defendant to time in prison.

The defendant’s actions constitute one of the most heinous forms of bullying, not to mention a complete violation of my privacy and personal dignity. After being the victim of a crime in my early twenties, I developed PTSD. The journal that was stolen was part of my efforts to heal. I am a private citizen, targeted only because my father happened to be running to be President. In other words, the extensive work I have done to move past my trauma was undone by Ms. Harris’s actions. The defendant’s actions have created a constant environment of anxiety, fear, and intimidation in which my innermost thoughts are constantly distorted and manipulated.

Although this criminal act happened more than three years ago, because of the publicity it drew-exactly as Ms. Harris intended—I am constantly re-traumatized by it. I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online. Repeatedly, I hear others grossly misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love. Her actions were not only re-traumatizing to me, but constituted a horrific trauma in and of themselves. This ongoing harm is a direct result of Ms. Harris’s intentional actions.

I ask Your Honor to sentence Ms. Harris to time in prison followed by lengthy probation. She should be held accountable for what she has done. Not only did she demonstrate a complete lack of morality, but she lacks any respect for the rule of law as well. Among other things, she has failed to appear in court 12 times.

My goal in asking Your Honor to impose a term of incarceration is to ensure that another woman isn’t bullied and shamed like this ever again. The despair I have often felt will never truly go away.

But I ask Your Honor to hold Ms. Harris accountable so that she thinks twice before doing it to someone else. I have spent much of my life trying to speak up for those who cannot find their voices. I am fortunate enough to have found mine, and I use it today—and every day—to make sure that bullies are held accountable.

Finally, I worry that a non-incarceratory sentence will send a message to her and to others like her-that it is okay to violate and exploit others for your own personal gain, regardless of the humiliation and pain it causes. Please send a message that these types of damaging criminal actions will not be tolerated. I thank Your Honor for your consideration.

Snopes, which had previously hesitated to confirm the diary’s authenticity without official verification, updated its fact-check report on April 29, 2024. The update came after Ms. Biden’s letter was made public.

Snopes wrote before:

Claim: A diary authored by U.S. President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley, describes inappropriate actions toward her taken by the president when she was a child.

Rating: Unproven

Context: Statements from a diary published on a dubious website — which themselves have been taken out of context — allegedly came from a misplaced diary written by Ashley Biden and later sold to the right-wing sting operation Project Veritas, whose founder said their authenticity couldn’t be confirmed.

Screenshot

The update on Snopes now reads:

On April 29, 2024, Snopes changed the rating of this fact check from “Unproven” to “True” based on testimony provided by Ashley Biden. In an April 8 letter to a New York judge requesting jail time for one of the two people convicted of stealing her diary, Biden wrote, “I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.” 

Previous versions of this fact check noted “strong evidence” that the diary existed, but argued that no source had authenticated the contents of the pages published online, writing that “the authenticity of photographs purported to be from a diary is a separate question from the factual existence of a diary.”

Ashley Biden’s letter to the court, in Snopes’ view, provides that authentication.

NEW: Board of Trustees at UNC-Chapel Hill Votes to Abolish DEI Funding – Trustee Cites American Flag Incident on Campus in Explaining His Vote (Video)

On Tuesday, a group of UNC student, identified as members of fraternities, stood together to hold up the American flag for an hour while anti-Israel protesters attempting to take down the flag and threw bottles, water, and rocks at them and hurled insults. (@estradguillermo / X screen shot)

Feel good story of the day.

UNC-Chapel Hill abolished Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) funding on Monday.

The Board of Trustees at UNC-Chapel Hill voted to divert $2.3 million away from DEI and funnel it to “public safety.”

“The UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees has voted to divert $2.3 million away from diversity, equity and inclusion programs and into “public safety.”” North Carolina Public Radio reported.

“The unanimous vote occurred at a special Board of Trustees meeting Monday morning. It is unclear if the diversion of funds would lead to layoffs.” WUNC reported.

One board member, Marty Kotis, said it was the the US flag incident during the anti-American protests in explaining his vote.

Marty Kotis: “We talk about peaceful protest, but when you destroy property or you take down the U.S. flag and you have to put gates around it… North Carolinians are watching all this, and they are not happy. And I think it’s imperative that we have the proper resources for our law enforcement to protect the campus — and that means our property and that means our flag as well.”
