REMINDER: Perhaps the weirdest, and by far the most unjust, thing about former President Donald Trump's trial in New York is that we do not know precisely what crime Trump is charged with committing. We're in the middle of the trial, with Trump facing a maximum of more than 100 years in prison, and we don't even know what the charges are! It's a surreal situation. Yes, we know that Trump is charged with falsifying business records of payments made to the porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 and 2017. But falsifying business records is a misdemeanor with a two-year statute of limitations, meaning prosecutors would be prohibited from charging Trump with that crime after 2019, which was five years ago. They obviously missed that deadline by a mile. We also know that New York law allows falsifying business records to be upgraded to a felony if the alleged falsification was done with "intent to defraud that includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof." In that case, the statute of limitations extends to five years, which would have allowed prosecutors to charge Trump as late as 2022. Prosecutors missed that deadline, too. Trump was indicted in 2023. How did that happen? Because of COVID-19, when New York extended its statute of limitations by a year. That allowed prosecutors to slip the charges in right before the new, one-time-only, six-year extended statute of limitations expired. But here's the thing. What was the "intent to commit another crime or aid and conceal the commission thereof" that prosecutors used to raise falsification of business records from a misdemeanor to a felony? In nearly every case of alleged falsification of records that has been charged as a felony in New York, the defendant was charged with another crime — that is, prosecutors made it clear what the other crime was. In Trump's case, the indictment did not specify any other crime. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the law did not require him to specify the other crime. So Trump faced felony charges without knowing what he was accused of doing. And the really amazing thing is that the trial is now underway and Bragg has still not specified what the other crime is. It is a key element of the case. Without it, the charges against Trump could never have been brought because they were misdemeanors long past the statute of limitations. It is the other crime that makes this whole prosecution possible. But the prosecutor has not specified what it is. https://jewishworldreview.com/0524/york050824.php

WaPo Gushes for Brittany Griner As She Plays Victim And Plays Her "Donald Trump" Card By Jim Thompson The Washington Post is a champion of the oppressed and marginalized – which is why it published a 5,000-word excerpt of a ghost-written book by a celebrated black lesbian athlete millionaire. Brittany Griner holds three intersection titles that make her virtually invulnerable to criticism by legacy media. She is one of America’s least oppressed and most privileged citizens, but that doesn't pay, so she plays her "I'm a victim" card. Griner resides in the rarefied air of celebrity and wealth and favored race, that cancels out her stupidity and hubris. In reality, she is an admitted convicted felon who was swapped for a Russian "Merchant of Death" in the worst prisoner exchanges in decades, maybe ever. Nonetheless, Griner manages to cast herself as the victim. {snip} Maybe Griner gets around to admitting that she tried to smuggle drugs into Russia and got caught. Maybe she admits that it was a terrible, very bad deal for America to swap her for the “Merchant of Death” arms dealer. Maybe. Maybe pigs will fly. https://redstate.com/jimthompson/2024/05/08/wapo-gushes-for-brittany-griner-as-she-plays-victims-and-plays-her-donald-trump-card-n2173928

Completely different hearing. SHE is not accused of anything, NPR is. She is the head of NPR. This is pretty basic stuff. .

Chicago Mayor Attempts to Play Hide-the-Illegal-Aliens From Democrat Convention Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is trying to hide the illegal aliens housed in his city from the Democrat National Convention this summer. He wants to move them away from the convention's venue. Out of sight, out of mind. The Democrat mayor who supports sanctuary cities wants to build a temporary shelter close to Guaranteed Rate Field on the South Side ahead of the convention. Ald. Nicole Lee said her office was told that Johnson is considering moving illegal aliens from the Loop to a new shelter in Bridgeport. https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2024/05/08/chicago-mayor-attempts-to-hide-illegal-aliens-from-democrat-convention-n3787994 .

Illegal Migrants Send List of 'Demands' to Denver Mayor The Spanish word for audacity is "audacia." Perhaps the municipal officials in Denver, Colorado should practice using that language. After struggling for more than a year to shelter and feed the army of illegal migrants that have flooded into the city, Denver finally began imposing some limits on how long people could stay in the municipal intake shelters. This angered some of the migrants who were forced to leave the shelters and a group of them set up an encampment on public property as the spring weather began to improve. The encampment is located under an overpass near the railroad tracks. The Mayor's office repeatedly requested that the migrants evacuate the encampment and move to other shelters that were set up to house them. But the migrants refused, and now they have sent an advocate with a list of demands that they say must be met before they will agree to relocate to a shelter. If you think this sounds like an outtake from the movie Idiocracy, you're not alone. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/05/08/illegal-migrants-send-list-of-demands-to-denver-mayor-n3787995 .
