Grocery Store Chain Confirms Its Removing Self-Checkout from Certain California Stores Due to Increasing Theft

Safeway has announced that it is removing self-checkout from certain California stores due to increasing theft.

The changes will predominantly be in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Several stores in San Francisco and Emeryville have already had the kiosks removed.

“Operational changes have been made at select stores throughout the Bay Area given the increasing amount of theft,” Safeway said in a statement provided to local station KTVU.

The statement continued, “Self-checkout kiosks have been removed at a few stores. Like other local businesses, we are working on ways to curtail escalating theft so we can ensure the well-being of our employees and foster a welcoming environment for our customers.”

The report added:

The Safeway on Pleasant Valley Road in Oakland removed them earlier this month.

There’s just a big empty space where the self-checkout kiosks used to be.

There are also marks on the floor where the machines used to sit.

In their place is a display of soda cans.

Democrat State Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas has introduced legislation to curtail the amount of theft at self-checkouts.

Instead of getting tough on thieves, Smallwood-Cuevas’ bill will require stores to have a minimum staffing level of one worker for every two self-checkout machines.

“Lone workers have become easy targets of theft and violence and they’re too often forced to stock merchandise, operate checkout, cater to customers, all while trying to monitor their stores for retail theft,” she told the station.

Donald Trump Says He Will Give ‘Serious Consideration’ to Pardoning Julian Assange

Donald Trump has said he will give “very serious consideration” to the idea of pardoning WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Trump made the comments during an interview with podcaster Tim Pool before his speech at the Libertarian National Convention.

“Well, I’m going to talk about that today, and we’re going to give it very serious consideration,” Trump said.

Assange is currently fighting extradition to the US, where he faces espionage charges carrying a maximum 175-year sentence for obtaining and publishing classified information on his organization, WikiLeaks.

Trump’s comments were welcomed by Assange’s brother, Gabriel Shipton, who told The Sydney Morning Herald: “I think we are reaching a critical point in the fight to free Julian. All presidential candidates have made statements on Julian’s freedom in the past two months.”

“It’s time this scandalous prosecution is brought to an end and, with the help of the Australian government, Julian is brought home to be with his family,” he added.

Back in 2021, Trump told conservative commentator Candace Owens that he came “very close” to pardoning Assange at the end of his last administration.

“You have two sides of it: In one case, you have sort of a spy deal going on, and then another case, you have somebody that’s exposing real corruption,” he said at the time.”I won’t say which one, but I feel a little bit more strongly about one than the other….but I could have done it.”

“I will say you have people on both sides of that issue. Good people on both sides, and you have some bad people on one side. But I decided to let that one ride, let the courts work it out. And I guess the courts are actually doing that.”

During his speech at the Libertarian Party convention over the weekend, Trump also pledged to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.

“If you vote for me, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht,” he declared. “He’s already served 11 years, we’re gonna get him home.”

NEVER FORGET: Not a Single Election Expert Has Been Able to Explain the “Drop and Roll” Phenomenon that Flipped the 2020 Election Late at Night to Joe Biden

It’s been nearly four years since Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election after several days of locked rooms, late-night ballot deliveries, and triple-counting ballots.

On November 18, 2020, The Gateway Pundit first posted the impossible numbers that swung the election to Old Joe.

Mysterious late-night ballot drops in every battleground state swung the election to Joe Biden. And subsequent ballot drops in perfect ratios of ballots to Trump and Biden solidified the results.

Wisconsin:

Michigan:

Georgia:

Every 2020 battleground state followed this same pattern.

The Gateway Pundit called this phenomenon the “Drop and Roll.”

No election expert has ever explained this because they cannot explain it without raising the likely possibility of fraud.

Following the election, The Gateway Pundit published several reports on how the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and the American people.

The numbers don’t lie.
The election was stolen.

On November 18, 2020, just days after the election, TGP put our findings in an easy-to-follow video titled “The Drop and Roll.”

We are reposting it so you can enjoy it again.

This video has over 3.6 million views so far on Rumble.

China is Reportedly Preparing Large Military Fleet to Invade Taiwan — Expert Predicts Invasion Could Conclude Within an Hour

Screenshot: NBC News

China has reportedly been making significant preparations for a full-scale invasion of Taiwan, according to The Telegraph.

This preparation includes not only military vessels but also an unusual incorporation of civilian ferries, hinting at a large-scale invasion strategy.

China carried out a two-day large-scale exercise involving 111 aircraft and 46 naval vessels around Taiwan, signaling a sharp escalation in tensions across the Taiwan Strait, according to VOA News.

It further vowed to intensify its measures until “complete reunification” is accomplished.

According to Taiwan’s National Defense Ministry, this marked one of the most provocative maneuvers in recent years, with 82 Chinese military aircraft crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait, edging dangerously close to the territorial boundaries defined by Taiwan.

The exercises, described by Chinese state media as a “punishment” for Taiwan’s newly inaugurated president, Lai Ching-te, come amid growing concerns over increased military posturing by Beijing.

Channel News Asia reported:

China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, carried out the military drills on Thursday and Friday, calling them “punishment” after Lai’s inauguration speech on Monday which Beijing called another push for the island’s formal independence.

China has repeatedly lambasted Lai as a “separatist”. Lai rejects Beijing’s sovereignty claims and says only Taiwan’s people can decide their future. He has repeatedly offered talks but has been rebuffed.

Speaking at a meeting of his ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the southern city of Tainan, Lai called on China to “share the heavy responsibility of regional stability with Taiwan”, according to comments provided by his party.

Just days after China concluded significant military drills around Taiwan, a U.S. congressional delegation led by Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, arrived on the island.

“We are moving forward on those weapons systems,” Rep. Michael McCaul said at a news conference in Taipei. “I’d like to see them faster, but they are forthcoming.”

“President Lai and I have always had a very sobering and yet very direct conversation about the threat that this island faces from its neighbor to the north,” McCaul added.

Earlier this week, Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, issued a stark caution to the United States, urging it to “seriously abide by the one-China principle” and avoid facilitating visits by congressional members to Taiwan. Wang explicitly stated that ignoring such directives would lead to “consequences,” according to Sky News.

Now, The Telegraph is reporting that China is reportedly preparing an “armada” of ferries and civilian vessels for a potential invasion of Taiwan.

Telegraph reported:

China is preparing an armada of ferries and civilian vessels to invade Taiwan as Beijing steps up its pressure campaign against the island nation.

While the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) lacks the numbers of amphibious landing craft needed to stage the sort of invasion seen during the D-Day landings, it could bridge the gap with civilian vessels, including dozens of gigantic roll-on, roll-off ferries that can each carry hundreds of armoured vehicles.

“Amphibious landings under fire are among the most difficult of military manoeuvres,” said Ray Powell, the director of SeaLight, a Stanford University project focused on grey zone activities in the South China Sea.

Civilian ferries “would normally be poor choices for such a mission” but could be used to transport troops en masse across the Taiwan strait after its coastal defences are destroyed, or to overwhelm the island’s military “with sheer mass,” he said.

On May 26, 2024, the U.S. Navy’s formidable 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, the USS Theodore Roosevelt, assigned to the US Navy’s 7th Fleet, has made a significant transit through the South China Sea for “routine operations” as Chinese military activities in the area began to subside.

“The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) transits the South China Sea, May 26, 2024. Theodore Roosevelt, flagship of Carrier Strike Group Nine, is underway conducting routine operations in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, and routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific region,”  said an official statement.

NBC News’ Ken Dilanian discussed with a geopolitics expert who suggested that a real invasion might conclude before the U.S. has an opportunity to react.

Manhunt Underway for Driver Who Performed Donuts and Defaced Pride Mural in Florida — Will Face Felony Charges (VIDEO)

A manhunt was launched following an incident where a driver left tire marks on a pride mural (Screenshot: St. Petersburg Police Department)

A manhunt is underway for a driver accused of deliberately defacing a Pride mural, marking the second act of vandalism against the same artwork within a week.

The St. Petersburg Police Department reports that the latest incident involved a blue two-door vehicle performing donuts over the mural at the 2500 Central Avenue roundabout. This act of vandalism, occurring early on May 22nd, follows a similar incident on May 17th involving a truck.

St. Petersburg Police Department released the following statement:

Over the last week, two different vehicles have left tire marks damaging the Progressive Pride street mural at the 2500 Central Avenue roundabout.

The first occurred on May 17th at 9:36 a.m. when a truck accelerated through the mural. The second incident happened on May 22nd at 2:41 a.m. involving a blue two-door vehicle doing doughnuts on the mural.

Investigators have no reason to believe the incidents are related.

It’s going to cost the City of St. Petersburg $1100 to restore. The City aims to have the mural repainted in time for Pride month festivities.”

If found, the individual responsible will face a felony charge of criminal mischief.

Democrat Mayor Ken Welch took to social media to condemn the vandalism.

“In light of the recent vandalism targeting our Progressive Pride flag mural, I want to emphasize that there is no place for hate in St. Petersburg. We stand united in valuing and appreciating every resident, regardless of their orientation, gender identity, or expression. Our differences make St. Pete the vibrant and diverse community we cherish,” the mayor said.

“The flag mural will be cleaned and refreshed in time for Pride Month. As we look forward to the Pride celebrations, let’s continue to spread the message of love and acceptance even further. Join us as we kick off the festivities with our Pride flag raising ceremony at City Hall on Friday, May 31. Together, we can show that love always wins,” he added.

A post shared by Mayor Ken Welch (@mayorkenwelch)

A notable backlash has emerged on social media, where users are drawing parallels between this incident and other forms of political expression like flag burning or statue defacement, which receive less legal scrutiny or even praise.

One user pointed out, “Burn an American flag or tear down statues: you might be hailed as a hero. Leave tire marks on a pride mural: face a manhunt and felony charges.”

Another added, “If burning the U.S. flag is considered free speech, shouldn’t the same apply to a burnout on a Pride mural? This is about freedom of expression.”

Criticism also touches on the use of taxpayer money for what some see as divisive symbols on public property.

“Why spend taxpayer dollars on a Pride mural when we could be enhancing community safety or showing equal recognition for patriotic symbols?” another comment read.

Patriot Freedom Project Releases Third Part Of Documentary Showcasing The Personal And Legal Costs Of The Weaponized System Of Justice On Victims And Families

The Patriot Freedom Project, a nonprofit organization founded by Cynthia Hughes, is dedicated to advocating for January 6th political prisoners and their families.  As part of its broader advocacy mission, the PFP recently produced a three-part documentary, “Due Process Denied,” which highlights the often harrowing and tragic stories of the J6 victims and their families.  The third and final installment of Due Process Denied viscerally recounts how the persecution of the J6 victims is representative of a much deeper constitutional crisis afflicting our society at large.

Many of these victims have been deliberately targeted by Joe Biden and his weaponized DOJ and intelligence agencies.  These institutions have been hijacked by Biden to persecute his political enemies with vengeance, which has done major, potentially irreversible, damage to the rule of law along the way.

From Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis’ ongoing show trials against President Trump to the thousands of prosecutions currently underway, which have all denied fundamental human rights to the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstrators who appeared at the Capitol on January 6th, the evidence of America’s plunge into a banana republic – where rule by might has displaced rule by right – is staggering and undeniable.

Ed Martin, who is president of the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and serves as board member of the PFP, casts an understanding and discerning host throughout the series.  An empathetic voice, Martin’s narration in Part 3 grounds the audience with a refreshingly levelheaded sensibility about what really happened on January 6th, pitching questions to his guests that bring out both the legal and personal sides to the story.

Congressman Louie Gohmert (L) explaining to host Paul Ingrassia (R) about how the Biden DOJ is currently relying on unprecedented methods to run roughshod around the rule of law, stripping J6 political prisoners without due process of law, and putting them behind bars. The entire film can be watched here on Rumble.

Martin, a Virginia-based lawyer who was recently appointed to senior position at the RNC, draws upon his legal expertise to walk through the countless constitutional violations committed by the Biden DOJ in the various interviews he conducts over the approximately hour-long final installment.

Martin’s commentary helps break down the thornier legal and due process issues for non-experts and confirms through his provocative conversations just how unprecedented and downright cruel the lawfare has been against those now being prosecuted. His conversations help shed light on the egregiously heavy-handed sentences being handed down against many political prisoners. On any other occasion, these political victims would be getting charged for trespassing (normally a misdemeanor), at the absolute worst. Now, they are facing potentially decades-long sentences behind bars.

“Now we turn to subject matter experts,” Martin begins his introductory remarks, “people who know the law and public policy, who understand the psychology of what’s going on when people are put in prison and their families have to deal with it.”  He continues, “We’ll do all of that here, which will give us the context of why due process was denied for these political prisoners.”

The documentary is unique for being the only one to absolutely prioritize highlighting government weaponization and the painful personal costs associated with a weaponized justice system, on both the victims and the families.  The whole documentary does a stellar job describing the lawfare presently taking place and personalizing it with the firsthand experiences of families barely getting by. These stories are told often by the children themselves, whose fathers and mothers have been forced out of the household, and locked behind bars, for months or years on end. In most cases, the parents are denied access to children during their most formative years. Some may never again get to see their children until they reach adulthood.

The third installment features legal commentary from a broad range of experts, from policymakers to lawyers to legal scholars.  These commentators, albeit wide-ranging in backgrounds, are in consensus that what is being done right now with these political persecutions is reprehensible, unprecedented, and an affront to the rule of law in the worst possible way.

Congressman Louis Gohmert, who once served as a Texas state court judge for over a decade before entering public service, spearheads the legal analysis, painting a blistering portrait of the unprecedented methods being used right now to persecute otherwise law-abiding Americans on January 6th.  The vast majority simply exercised their First Amendment rights to assemble peacefully on public property and voice their grievances, in keeping with what until five minutes ago was a longstanding and cherished American tradition.

Congressman Gohmert ominously analogized what is now going on in the nation’s capital – which is supposed to be a symbol of freedom for the entire world – to the gulags of Soviet Russia.  He made repeated references to famed ex-communist writer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Soviet exile to the United States. Perhaps Solzhenitsyn’s most famous work, Gulag Archipelago, which Gohmert referenced by name, showcased in macabre detail what life was like under Soviet despotism for much of the twentieth century — a foreshadowing of the tyranny that has arrived on these shores. This is the high price we pay if we let our guards down and forget the high cost of preserving liberty, which must be renewed every single generation.

The third part of the film also featured commentaries from former senior Trump administration official, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, and political commentator Paul Ingrassia.

Dr. Gorka offered a brutal criticism of journalists, who have worked tirelessly over the past four years to portray the overwhelmingly peaceful demonstration on January 6th as a violent insurrection.  Indeed, the reason why a sizable portion of the population referred to the events of January 6th as an insurrection in the first place (which it plainly wasn’t, based on the historical record and dictionary definition of the term that requires a violent overthrow of the government with force), was due to the mainstream media peddling a false narrative to demonize conservatives.

“The majority of them are actually propagandists,” says Gorka.

These propagandists jumped the gun and reflexively branded the demonstrations of January 6th an insurrection, before all the evidence came out – while also ignoring the untold billions of damages caused by far-left groups like Antifa and BLM the summer before.

Attorney Jeff Clark described how the media worked in collusion with the sham House Select Committee, which was tasked with investigating January 6th, but is now run “exclusively by Democrats.”  The cooperation of the media coupled with the House Select Committee created a false narrative about the events of January 6th, a partisan hatchet job that was based on emotion and political bias, not reason and fact.

Ingrassia interviews many of the guests featured in the third installment, and inquires how “due process is being shredded by forces within our government, within our justice system, and within weaponized intelligence agencies, working in tandem against the American people.”

Also featured in this third installment is commentary from Dr. Gina Loudon, host of the daytime talk show American Sunrise on Real America’s Voice.  Her perspective goes a long way towards personalizing the January 6th victims for viewers.

“The first thing they want to talk about is their prayer life,” Loudon explains of the families, “which has become key for the people enduring these hardships.”

The documentary makes tremendous strides towards dispelling and debunking so many of the myths peddled by the mainstream media over the past four years that have stigmatized the victims in the harshest and most ruthless of ways. This propaganda has villainized them in the worst possible light: casting them as dangerous threats to democracy and domestic terrorists, rather than patriotic Americans who care deeply about preserving our time-honored rights and freedoms.

After watching this film, viewers cannot help but see the light: what becomes crystal clear is that the vast majority of the January 6th victims, whom President Trump refers to as “hostages,” are far from the crazed lunatics routinely smeared on networks like CNN and MSNBC.  To the contrary, they are devoted mothers and fathers; countless others are devout, God-fearing Christians and people of faith generally who wish to preserve the American experiment and pass down the freedoms and traditions they grew up with to their own children and grandchildren.

Many of the victims are veterans who selflessly served our country overseas, only to be treated like domestic terrorists by their own government at home.

The main takeaway from this documentary is that freedom is extremely delicate; the building blocks of our legal system that have long been responsible for our liberty have eroded away almost completely.  Due process literally hangs by a thread.

That is why it is absolutely imperative that Americans of all backgrounds and ideologies understand the precarious situation our country faces.  The documentary serves as an indispensable tool to educate audiences about the stakes of our ongoing constitutional crisis, and specifically how the Left systematically targets innocent Americans by weaponizing the justice system in pursuit of creating a one-party state that does not allow for dissent of any kind. This is the hallmark of every tyranny, past and present.

Back in January, Patriot Freedom Project received a personal endorsement from President Donald Trump.  The organization has hosted many J6 fundraisers at Trump venues over the years, including his Bedminster golf club, with the approval of President Trump himself.  The President has a perfect track record of speaking at these events, and has sung the praises of Cynthia Hughes as well as many of the guests featured in the film, including Louie Gohmert, Jeff Clark, Sebastian Gorka, and Paul Ingrassia.

The PFP is unrivaled in terms of the political advocacy it does for the most vulnerable people in our society today.  Through films like Due Process Denied, the organization has led the charge in shifting the narrative, and changing public opinion about January 6th 2021, while also continuing to help in every possible way – financially, legally, emotionally, and spiritually – support the victims and their families.

The group has survived relentless attacks by the Left, Congressional Democrats, and the mainstream media.  It relies, however, on the public’s generosity to keep pushing forward.

Readers who are interested in learning more about the organization and would consider making a donation should visit the PFP’s website at: https://patriotfreedomproject.com/donate/.

On behalf of Cynthia Hughes, the Patriot Freedom Project is deeply appreciative of any contribution generous readers might give.  God bless.

Trump’s Possible Acquittal in New York Trial: A Nightmare Scenario for Democrats, Warns CNN Reporter

As the trial against former President Donald Trump nears its conclusion, a new and potentially devastating threat looms for the Democrats. A recent report from CNN has raised concerns about the possibility of Trump being acquitted in a separate trial in New York. This could mean a catastrophic blow to the Democrats’ efforts to hold Trump accountable for his actions.

According to the report, the New York trial, which is focused on allegations of financial crimes and fraud, is seen as a “worst-case scenario” for the Democrats. This is because the bar for conviction in a criminal case is much higher than in an impeachment trial. And with a Republican majority in the Senate, Trump’s acquittal in the impeachment trial seems increasingly likely.

No matter the outcome of Trump’s criminal trial in New York, Trump supporters will continue to stand by him. It’s the same delusion that Tim Scott clung to when he refused to admit that Trump had been booed at the Libertarian Convention over the weekend. It’s a cult. pic.twitter.com/AXDzvGWoto

— Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) May 27, 2024

The potential acquittal in the New York trial has sparked outrage and panic among Democrats. They fear that it will send a message that Trump is above the law and can get away with any wrongdoing. It could also embolden him to continue his divisive and destructive actions, knowing that there will be no consequences.

For the Democrats, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This trial was seen as their last chance to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from running for office again. But with the possibility of an acquittal in both trials, their efforts could ultimately be in vain. It would also be a major setback for President Joe Biden’s agenda, as a Trump acquittal would further solidify his position as the leader of the Republican Party.

The CNN report also sheds light on the potential consequences of a Trump acquittal. Legal experts warn that it could set a dangerous precedent, making it more difficult to prosecute future presidents for criminal offenses. It could also undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in the justice system.

Moreover, a Trump acquittal could also have serious political implications. It could galvanize his base and give him a strong platform to launch a potential comeback in the 2024 presidential election. It could also divide the country even further and deepen the partisan divide.

The Democrats are now faced with a difficult dilemma. They must continue to push for Trump’s conviction in the impeachment trial while also preparing for the worst-case scenario of an acquittal in the New York trial. They are also under pressure to find new ways to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from regaining power.

In conclusion, the potential acquittal of Trump in the New York trial is a nightmare scenario for the Democrats. It could not only derail their efforts to hold him accountable but also have far-reaching consequences for the country. As the trial draws to a close, all eyes are on the Senate to see if justice will prevail or if Trump will once again evade punishment for his actions.

EXCLUSIVE: Will Hunter Admit to Relationship with His Brother’s Wife – Posting Her Naked Pics on Porn Site?

This was originally posted by Joe Hoft at JoeHoft.com – we are republishing with permission.

Will Hunter Biden’s relationship with his brother’s wife come up in his upcoming gun trial?

Hunter Biden’s case involving his quick disposal of his gun and his crimes and lies is coming up in the next couple of weeks. His ex-girlfriend is expected to testify. Her name is Hallie Biden. She was married to Hunter’s brother Beau.

Hallie is the wife of Hunter’s brother Beau who died from cancer years ago. At the time of Beau’s death, Hunter and Hallie had started a love relationship. This relationship quickly got out of control, as per text messages found on Hunter’s laptop.

Hunter was a practicing crack and sex addict at the time. Sometime during this time period, Hunter put at least one picture of Hallie Biden on a porn site. This was documented a week before the 2020 Election. The MSM claimed the reports about Hunter were Russian collusion.

HUGE BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden Has a PornHub Account Where He Uploaded His Personal Porn – Including with Family Member

We also reported at The Gateway Pundit that during their relationship Hallie placed Hunter’s gun in a trash bin. She was worried about him.

This all came out just before the 2020 Election. Hallie took Hunter’s gun and the police, the FBI and the Secret Service covered this story up for the Biden’s.

The Biden crime family is very sick and disgusting. The number of crimes they have committed appears endless. This is probably why old, senile, and corrupt Joe Biden visited his son’s wife and Hunter’s girlfriend recently.

LIVE UPDATES FROM INSIDE TRUMP TRIAL: TGP Contributor Paul Ingrassia Reports from Inside New York Show Trial – Closing Arguments Scheduled for Today

President Donald Trump is back in court today on Tuesday for closing arguments in Alvin Bragg’s show trial in New York City.

The prosecution has yet to define the alleged criminal act that President Trump committed. But it doesn’t matter. The court is ready to find Trump guilty and send him to prison.

This is Joe Biden’s America.

The Gateway Pundit contributor Paul Ingrassia is attending the ongoing show trial today in New York City today.

Paul wrote this earlier today:

Alvin Bragg is attempting to charge President Trump with a Class E felony, which is a crime under New York state law.  Felonies are typically crimes punishable by more than a year in prison.  We know by now that Bragg’s case is riven with errors – and it remains inexplicable why, to the extent President Trump has violated any criminal statute at all, he is still being charged with a felony, rather than a misdemeanor.  Of course, the reality is that President Trump committed no crime.  But even the statute that Alvin Bragg has cited to base his alleged theory of liability, Penal Law § 175.10, expressly states “a person is guilty of falsifying business … in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.”  Bragg must not have the attention span (or intelligence) to read the rest of the statute, which blatantly spells out: “Falsifying business records in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.”  A misdemeanor at most, not a felony.  So, why the bloody hell are Bragg and Merchan treating this like a criminal felony?

This entire trial is an abuse of the US legal system. For over 240 years the United States had a justice system that was unmatched in history. Not any more. The Democrats have ripped it apart in order to take down Trump and his supporters.

Paul Ingrassia will be live-posting from inside the courtroom today.
