Jonathan Turley: Trump Trial Was ‘Abuse’ of America’s Justice System

Renowned legal scholar Professor Jonathan Turley has blasted the “hush money” trial against President Donald Trump as an “abuse” of America’s once-great justice system.

Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, discussed the Trump trial verdict with Fox News star Judge Jeanine Pirro.

During an appearance on “America Reports,” Turley described the “guilty” verdict as “popular justice of Manhattan.”

However, he noted that this is not the kind of justice Americans “look for.”

Former President Donald Trump has long vowed to prosecute President Joe Biden if Trump wins November’s election and the two trade places.

I Had to Use Martial Law to Suppress Freedom Convoy Because “What If Someone Had Gotten Hurt”?

Seven police officers were injured after BLM riots in Toronto.

A totalitarian clown doesn’t stop being a clown just because he’s also a totalitarian.

As the investigation delves into Trudeau’s illegal decision to ruthlessly suppress the Freedom Convoy protests, the investigation turned up extraordinary coordination and pressure from the Biden administration.

Meanwhile Trudeau’s defense of ruthlessly suppressing a peaceful protest is, literally, “What if someone had gotten hurt?”

Not someone got hurt. What if someone had gotten hurt.

This isn’t even, “We had to destroy the village to save the village.” It’s, “We had to destroy the village because what if someone had stubbed a toe?”

Arizona faces prospect of vote recount amid extremely tight races

It appears that some Arizona races in this year's election are headed towards a recount.

This year, a record 2.5 million Arizonans, voted in the midterm elections, and two statewide races - Superintendent of Public Instruction and Attorney General - seem ripe for recounts. This year's election took place after a new state law was passed that expands the threshold for recounts to a level five times greater than before.

Federal Payroll Expected to Exceed $55 Billion in 2022: Parliamentary Budget Office

Payroll for federal employees is expected to surpass $55 billion this year, according to a report by the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO).

Published on Nov. 18, the report, titled “Supplementary Estimates (B),” says hiring of public servants has been on the rise in the past seven years.

“Government spending on public servant salaries and benefits is forecast to climb to almost $55 billion this year—or about $130,000 per full-time employee,” the budget office wrote, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.

“The cost drivers of personnel spending are the number of personnel (represented by full-time equivalents, or FTEs), and their level of compensation.”

Social media censorship is a potent threat to freedom of speech

In terms of actions […] that we have taken or we’re working to take, I should say, from the federal government. We’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General’s Office. We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,” said Ms. Psaki.

The following day, the press secretary elaborated on the White House’s position, saying that users who post “misinformation” should be banned on every social media platform. When asked by a reporter, President Biden even went as far as to accuse Facebook and other social media platforms of “killing people.”

SJW fatigue: Why anime & manga are conquering the West

In the West vs. East battle of entertainment industries, manga, anime and Korean dramas are steadily gaining ground

Be it films or comics, audiences seem to be growing tired of what the Western entertainment industry has to offer and many are turning their attention to the East.

For a long time, Hollywood and the American comic book industry have been seen as international media behemoths. It used to be that they never even faced any serious competition. But lately, they seem to be losing that grasp. The last decade of film and comics has seen a sharp decline in quality. And while, of course, there have been some HUGE successes like Marvel’s MCU films, raking in billions of dollars, nevertheless, it seems evident that audiences are growing tired of the same old formulas being rehashed over and over again.

The NFL says teams must hire a minority or female offensive coach

The NFL is requiring all of its teams to hire a minority or female offensive assistant coach for the 2022 season at a time when criticism is high over the diversity of its top ranks.
The league also says its Rooney Rule, requiring every team to interview at least two external minority candidates for open head coaching positions, will expand to provide more opportunities for women to secure front office roles.

Leadership rivals shouldn't be calling each other 'not Conservative,' says Bergen

Conservative interim leader Candice Bergen says leadership contenders should avoid calling those they disagree with on policy “not Conservative.”

Bergen, who was first elected in 2008 and has led the party since early February, says Conservatives shouldn't play “identity politics” by pitting one group against another - for instance, social conservatives versus Red Tories.

“When you wedge, divide and polarize, people are pulled down, they're not lifted up. So as a party, we should not be doing the same thing we're criticizing the Liberals for doing,” she said in an interview Thursday with The Canadian Press.

The Manitoba MP and former deputy leader took over the party's top job after a majority of MPs voted to oust Erin O'Toole following weeks of anger and tension that built behind closed doors.
