University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen was projected to win Nebraska’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, dealing a high-profile loss to former President Trump, who aggressively backed one of his rivals.
The Associated Press called the race at 11:23 p.m. ET.
Pillen came out ahead of eight other candidates running to replace Gov. Pete Ricketts (R).
The race was seen as the latest test for Trump, who had endorsed businessman Charles Herbster in the primary. Herbster is facing sexual misconduct allegations from eight women, including from state Sen. Julie Slama (R) and Elizabeth Todsen, who previously worked for state Sen. Dave Murman (R).

The incendiary rhetoric that is coming from the radical left in response to the recently-leaked draft majority opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on how “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled” just keeps getting worse, with the Biden White House now even encouraging left-wing agitators to break the law by continuing to “protest” in front the homes of conservative Supreme Court Justices in a clear effort to scare and intimidate them.
But perhaps none has been worse than what came from Chicago’s Lori Lightfoot late Monday night when America’s worst mayor, a Democrat, took to the Twitter machine to openly issue a “call to arms”
Seattle - Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said Tuesday he has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms.
Via Twitter, the billionaire philanthropist said he will isolate until he is again healthy.
“I’m fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care,” Gates wrote.
The Seattle-based Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the most influential private foundation in the world, with an endowment of about $65 billion.
Bill Gates has been a vocal proponent for pandemic mitigation measures
The Trump-endorsed Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) defeated Rep. David McKinley in the contentious battle for West Virginia’s second congressional district.The West Virginia primary tested the political will of the Republican Party base. After the 2020 census, the state lost one congressional district, forcing a primary battle between McKinely from the first congressional district and Mooney from the second congressional district.This has forced a contentious battle between the more “RINO”-leaning McKinely and the Trump-backed Mooney.“Congressman Alex Mooney is a conservative warrior running in West Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. His opponent is a RINO who supported the ‘Unfrastucture Bill’ and the Sham January 6 Unselect Committee,” Trump said in a statement.
The New Jersey Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Sundiata Acoli, a former Black Panther convicted in the 1973 slaying of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster, may be released on parole after spending nearly 50 years in prison. Acoli, 85, was an accomplice to Assata Shakur, born JoAnne Chesimard, who was also convicted in Foerster's killing. Shakur later escaped prison and fled to Cuba, where former Cuban Prime Minister Fidel Castro granted her asylum.
New Jersey's high court ruled that the state's parole board unlawfully denied Acoli's petition for release in 2010 when they stated that he would pose a threat to public safety if granted parole.
The 2022 redistricting cycle has been a roller-coaster, with both sides proclaiming victory at different points over the last year. More recently, Democrats had convinced themselves that they were going to come out not just ahead, but significantly ahead, picking up five to six extra seats by redistricting alone.
Unfortunately for them, the game isn’t over until it’s over, and a series of big decisions have completely nuked what advantage they thought they had. I’ve written extensively on those developments here at RedState, including the major GOP victories in Ohio, Alabama, and Florida.
But there has been one final shoe left to drop
The Trenton man charged with attempting to kill two people when he broke into their Hamilton home last month was the subject of a state Supreme Court case decided in January in which the high court overturned his conviction. Peter Nyema, 31, is the gunman that Hamilton police allege shot two people inside their Lalor Street home at 3 a.m. on April 19. They arrested him in Trenton on April 28 on two counts each of attempted murder, robbery, burglary and related gun crimes.(Snip)Nyema, in May 2011 when he was 20 years old, was charged with robbing a 7-Eleven in Hamilton with Jamar Myers, then 25,
A transgender woman who bragged about her light sentence on a kiddie-molestation rap has now been charged with murder in connection with a 2019 robbery, authorities said Tuesday.
Hannah Tubbs, 26, hit the headlines in January when she pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in the bathroom of a Palmdale, Calif., Denny’s in 2014 when she was 17. A judge in the case said he was compelled to sentence Tubbs to two years at a youth treatment facility because Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón declined to move the case out of the juvenile court where it originated.
Symone Sanders’ popularity is about as bad as the approval rating of her former boss. The ex-Biden administration official who was most recently a top spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris tanked in her debut this past weekend on MSNBC, according to newly released Nielsen ratings. Sanders drew just 361,000 total viewers for her 4 p.m. show, titled “Symone,” on Saturday. She also managed to attract just 29,000 viewers in the advertiser-coveted 25-54 demographic.
Many of us were alarmed on Election Night 2020 when, while the results were looking good for Donald Trump, multiple states suddenly stopped counting votes. As the night wore on and went into the next day, it seemed that every update was favorable for Biden until he was ultimately named President-Elect.
While Trump’s campaign repeatedly promised to “release the Kraken” and bring forward evidence of election fraud that would prove that the election was stolen, focusing on electronic voting machines, that evidence didn’t materialize. RedState’s Scott Hounsell pointed out various states and cities – even down to the precincts – that should be investigated, and that information
Melissa Cohen has been seen for the first time since reports a mega Hollywood lawyer paid off her husband Hunter Biden's $2million delinquent tax bill. Cohen, 35, looked effortlessly chic in a pristine white button-down and blue dress pants, white socks, and black school-girl shoes as she picked up her dry cleaning and takeout on Tuesday. Secret Service guarded the South African model as she enjoyed the warm sun and listened to music in West Hollywood while she waited. Cohen had not been seen since she was spotted a few months ago soaking up the sun in a red bikini in Rio de Janeiro while her husband's tax probe
President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, said Tuesday that making abortion illegal would be bad for the economy.Yellen was asked by Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez during a Senate hearing about the economic impact of the Supreme Court’s reported decision to undo Roe v. Wade, opening a path for states to impose increased restrictions on abortion. Yellen said that legalized abortion helped women make more money and participate in the labor force.WATCH: (Video) “I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy, and would set women back decades,” Yellen said.
The unhinged reaction by liberals in the media to the leaking of a draft decision by the Supreme Court overturning Roe is escalating on MSNBC. Radical host Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday night attacked the Constitution as a “much weaker document than we thought” and openly called for stripping the high Court of its “secrecy.” In effect, he praised the shocking leak of the opinion.Talking to former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, The Last Word host suddenly decided that politicizing the Supreme Court is okay, so long as it might stop a conservative ruling:

John McCain unloaded on the late senator and top aides in an online newsletter that revisited several key events in the 2008 presidential campaign.The Substack post and a series of tweets by Steve Schmidt raised questions about a top McCain aide's associations with the Russian Federation, revived a New York Times story about McCain’s ties to a lobbyist and insulted his judgment for picking Sarah Palin as his running mate.Schmidt long ago fell out of favor with the McCain family and has battled them publicly.The senator's presidential campaign that year was a roller coaster of highs and lows,

Steve Schmidt, a former senior strategist on then-Senator John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, published a scathing expose and mea culpa late Sunday night and apologized publicly to the New York Times for denying reporting he now claims was accurate regarding McCain. “I would like to apologize to the journalists whose bylines appear on the story,” Schmidt wrote on his newly launched Substack. “Their credibility, integrity, and professionalism were unfairly attacked by the McCain campaign of which I was a part of. I got it wrong. These journalists, like many others, were also victims of this lie.” The story in question
Tom Brady will join Fox Sports as its lead NFL analyst when his playing career ends.Fox did not disclose terms of Brady's deal, but the New York Post reported that the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback has agreed to a 10-year, $375 million contract -- the most lucrative in sports broadcasting history. Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced the news Tuesday during a corporate investor call. Brady will call games alongside lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt and will work as an "ambassador" for Fox with a focus on "client and promotional initiatives."

The effort may be only a subtle nudge, barely noticeable to those who aren’t paying attention. Then again, it could be hitting you in the face like a sledgehammer.

Elon Musk has revealed that he would reverse Twitter's permanent ban of Donald Trump if he completes his $44 billion acquisition of the social media platform.
Speaking virtually at a conference in London on Tuesday, Musk said that Twitter's move to ban the former US president 'was a morally bad decision and foolish in the extreme'. 'I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump,' added Musk, specifically addressing Trump's removal from Twitter for the first time since launching his takeover of the company last month. Trump was banned from Twitter in January 2021,
It appears that far-right provocateur Dinesh D’Souza’s new movie peddling election lies is too batty even for Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Newsmax.The conservative firebrand took to Twitter on Monday to gripe that sympathetic MAGA media was supposedly suppressing 2000 Mules, his latest propaganda film peddling a wholly flawed and faulty premise about ballot fraud in the 2020 election.D’Souza was the toast of Trumpworld last week after he premiered the movie at Mar-a-Lago, insisting there were hundreds of thousands of illegal votes cast in 2020 due to Democratic ballot “mules.”
PHILADELPHIA — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey announced his support of the Women’s Health Protection Act on Tuesday, marking a major shift for the longtime anti-abortion Democrat. The Pennsylvania senator released a statement via Twitter regarding the Senate’s upcoming vote. Referring to the recently leaked draft Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v. Wade, he wrote, "The real question of the moment is: Do you support a categorical ban on abortion? During my time in public office, I have never voted for—nor do I support—such a ban." (Snip) ''This week, I will again vote yes to advance debate on the Women’s Health
The Left is going to go ballistic. Dr. Jordan Peterson, the controversial clinical psychologist, podcaster, YouTuber, lecturer, and ex-professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, is back. He’s described as right-wing, though that label is applied to any person the Left doesn’t like. Bill Maher is now described as right-wing in some circles which is beyond laughable. Maher is as liberal as they come. Like Maher, Peterson is an expert at shredding liberal narratives around gender identity and pronoun use. He’s not for political correctness. He’s for freedom of speech. He speaks at length about the crisis in masculinity—all of which makes feminists seethe with rage. He uses facts
COVID positivity rates in parts of New York City are back over 20% as the 5th wave of the pandemic spreads throughout the state, driven by a highly contagious new subvariant. The rolling seven-day positivity rate in Long Island City now stands at 21.3%, according to the latest data posted by the city. Large swaths of Queens near or top 15% as well, along with Manhattan neighborhoods like the Financial District and Lincoln Square. Citywide, the transmission rate has risen to levels last seen in late January, up almost 20% in a week and almost 90% in a month.
The Biden administration continues to resist condemning the actions of radical pro-abortion activists who have doxed conservative Supreme Court justices, menaced them in their homes, and firebombed the office of a Wisconsin pro-life group – and they’re just getting warmed up.
On Monday, outgoing White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House has “not seen violence” as a result of the weeklong temper tantrum over the contents of a leaked high court draft opinion suggesting that Roe v. Wade may be overturned, effectively condoning the actions of mobs that are intimidating justices and their families and sending a message that, like in the summer of 2020,
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday said that immigration judges can now consider the mental health status of an illegal immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony when considering their asylum claim or whether to withhold their deportation -- overruling a prior decision by a top immigration appeals board.
The Immigration and Nationality Act makes illegal immigrants ineligible for both asylum and withholding of removal -- where illegal immigrants are not returned because they have a fear of persecution if returned to their country of origin -- if they have been convicted of a "particularly serious crime" that constitutes a danger to the community.
Harrisburg, Pa.—With six days until Pennsylvania's primary, Republicans are openly worrying that a leading candidate in the crowded GOP field for governor is unelectable in the fall general election and will fumble away an opportunity for the party to take over the battleground state's executive suite. Doug Mastriano, 58, a state senator since 2019 and a retired U.S. Army colonel, is running to the right of the nine-person Republican field and against the party's establishment in a state still roiled by former President Donald Trump's baseless conspiracy theories that Democrats stole the 2020 election there. Mastriano is a prominent peddler of the unsubstantiated claims that widespread fraud marred

A Michigan woman who was being sought for the cold-blooded killings of her boyfriend and brother was found dead from an apparent suicide Monday, authorities said. Police officers discovered the body of 22-year-old Ruby Taverner at around 10 a.m. in a wooded area behind the Independence Square Apartments in Independence Township, northwest of Detroit. They said Taverner, who was wanted in connection with the double homicide, died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.(Snip)“You almost wonder what was the point to this whole thing? You never get any answers that satisfy those questions because, now, all parties are deceased.”
President Joe Biden once again ripped 'ultra MAGA' Republicans as he defended his plan to 'tackle' inflation on a day gas hit a record $4.37 per gallon.'I know you gotta be frustrated. I can taste it,' Biden said, speaking to the country from the White House as he argued that his actions on energy and the economy have eased price hikes – even as his plans to tax the wealthy and big corporations remain stalled in the Senate. 'I think our policies have helped, not hurt,' Biden said, asked about a leading Republican critic who accuses him of contributing to the problem. Biden once again stressed his 'ultra MAGA'
President Joe Biden delivered another speech at the White House about inflation on Tuesday, blaming everyone but himself for skyrocketing prices. The president refused to take responsibility for inflation, arguing his trillions in dollars in government spending in 2021 were only trying to help people. “I think our policies help. Not hurt,” he said to reporters when asked if he accepted responsibility for the problem.“The vast majority of the economists think that this is going to be a real tough problem to solve, but it’s not because of spending,” he claimed.The president spoke as gasoline and diesel prices hit new record highs in the United States.
For the last two years, many comparisons were made about how irrational and dehumanizing Covid rules were akin to the German atrocities against Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. It never felt quite right to equate modern problems with the truly evil Holocaust, but as time went on we were increasingly left with little else.
Now, to take this story to the next level, it is being reported that Germany’s flagship carrier, Lufthanasa, kicked off all but two of some 192 Jewish passengers in a form of “collective” punishment for refusing to play along with the country’s draconian and anti-scientific measures.
A woman walking her dog Saturday evening in East Hollywood found more than 100 stolen unopened mail-in ballots, according to a report.
Christina Repaci was walking her dog when she stumbled upon the box of ballots, according to Fox 11. (snip) “I actually called the Sheriff’s Department. I couldn’t get through, so I emailed them,” she recounted. “I got an email back from a deputy basically in so many words saying it wasn’t their problem and to contact the USPS.”
How’s that working, Joe Biden’s plan to drop gas prices?
About as well as the non-existent plan that he ran on to defeat COVID.
The average price of gas in the U.S. just hit its highest mark ever — $4.37 a gallon, according to AAA. [Tweet]
Now, that’s the average. In some places, like California, that average would look like Nirvana if they got to see those prices again. The state average there is approaching $6.00. It’s up $1.41 since last year and 17 cents since last week.
This, despite Joe Biden’s claims that he’s doing something about it by depleting our emergency supply.
A bipartisan bill passed in the Senate last night that will provide additional security for Supreme Court justices and their families. The bill passed on a voice vote and was unanimous. This legislation puts the court on the same level as the executive and legislative branches to provide security which includes protection for their families as angry mobs gather outside their homes. The bill moves to the House now.
This is a rare example of unanimous bipartisan cooperation.

The gun-homicide rate jumped by a whopping 35% in 2020 against the backdrop of the pandemic while gun-involved suicides remained steady but alarmingly high, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a new report Tuesday. The report underscored the ripple effects of COVID-19’s impact on America and the agency’s decision to target gun violence after a decades-long silence. The overall firearm homicide rate jumped from 4.6 per 100,000 persons to 6.1 per 100,000 from 2019 to 2020, its highest level in nearly three decades. Rates increased among all age groups in both urban and rural areas and the largest increases were among Black
Elon Musk said he would reverse Twitter’s ban on former President Donald Trump once he officially takes over the social media platform.
The Tesla tycoon, whose $44 billion takeover bid was accepted by Twitter’s board of directors last month, made the comment Tuesday during an interview with Financial Times.“Permanent bans should be extremely rare and really reserved for accounts that are bots, or scam, spam accounts … I do think it was not correct to ban Donald Trump,” Musk said.
“I think that was a mistake, because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice.”
“I would reverse the permanent ban,”
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Tuesday warned that eliminating abortion rights would damage the U.S. economy and 'set women back decades.' 'I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades,' she said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing. Yellen was asked about the draft Supreme Court opinion that indicated justices support overturning Roe v.

'It enabled many women to finish school that increase their earning potential and allowed
Newly minted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre described Fox News as a “racist” network during a TV appearance in March 2020, according to a clip that resurfaced this week.
“[Fox News] was racist before coronavirus, they are racist during the coronavirus, Fox News will be racist after the coronavirus,” Jean-Pierre said during a March 15 appearance on MSNBC’s “AM Joy.”
“So there is nothing new here,” she continued. “I think the difference is they are all-in on being state TV for Donald Trump, and so they will continue to give misinformation.” At the time, Jean-Pierre worked as a political analyst for the left-wing network
The Satanic Temple of the United States (TST) plans to file legal challenges against any states that restrict or ban abortions, claiming that such procedures constitute religious rituals for its adherents.
As Fox News reports, TST released a statement declared that “in states that outlaw abortion but grant exceptions for instances of incest and rape, members should be permitted a religious exception to perform TST’s religious abortion ritual.”
“States that outlaw abortion and do not grant exceptions present more significant challenges, but TST has a number of plans that we will be undertaking quite soon,” the statement continued.

The premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount Plus Thursday, appeared to allege that the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol triggered the fictitious nuclear World War III on Earth in the sci-fi series timeline. The spin off from Star Trek: Discovery, based in cannon from the 1960's original series, showed the crew of the Enterprise discovering a pre-warp society with advanced technology, which warring factions on the planet are about to use against each other.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is investigating the CDC for tracking million of American through phone location data.
“Just because data exists, doesn’t mean that the government should be using it to track Americans, I would think that that really raises some very serious constitutional issues,” Senator Ron Johnson told John Solomon on “Just the News – Not Noise.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used phone location data to track millions Americans in 2021.
The CDC monitored curfew zones, churches, schools, neighbor-to-neighbor visits and trips to pharmacies through SafeGraph, a controversial data broker. The CDC purchased the phone data and used Covid-19 as an excuse to buy the data more quickly

Barrington, Rhode Island, public schools are among the best in the state. Many parents move to the district, and tolerate the higher taxes, because of the academic rigor that sets their children up for attending Ivy League schools or receiving academic merit scholarships. However, all of that academic appeal is being chipped away after the district brought in a so-called "equity and inclusion" agenda. De-leveling, or a system of universal learning, was first implemented in Barrington on the most vulnerable students—the students with learning disabilities and Individualized Education Programs (IEP). In February 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19
The Houston Police Department released bodycam video of a deadly officer-involved shooting where a suspect was accused of fatally running over a construction worker and stabbing a Montrose apartment manager. Two officers discharged their duty weapons and struck the suspect more than once. The suspect dropped the knife, but got up and attempted to flee the scene on foot.
Houston police said it all started when a man, identified as 27-year-old Ronnie Dwayne Cesear, Jr. approached a 67-year-old construction worker, Carrl Hayes, who was working in the area overnight.
Cesear stabbed Hayes with a butcher knife, then jumped into the victim’s truck and ran him over, police said.
Remember when denying the legitimacy of any election was not only disqualifying but also got you kicked off Jake Tapper’s low-rated CNN show? I wonder if that rule will hold for Karine Jean-Pierre, who is set to take over as Joe Biden’s press secretary on May 13th. I think we all know the answer to that.
Apparently, Jean-Pierre has a colorful history on social media, and now some of her old tweets are painting a far different picture than the one she’s tried to present since joining the White House. Far from the level-headed, straight shooter that she wants people to believe she is, Jean-Pierre is apparently a conspiratorial lunatic .I’m literally shaking
Joe Biden, the man who has been "wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades," as former defense secretary Bob Gates wrote, has nebulously put the U.S. on a path to war with Russia. Not because he wants to. But because he doesn't know what he's doing.
That's the consensus of foreign policy experts as diverse as Thomas Friedman, golf buddy to President Obama, and Mark Wauck, the decorated former FBI official from its pre-wokedom era.
According to Friedman, writing on May 6:
If you just followed news reports on Ukraine, you might think that the war has settled into a long, grinding and somewhat boring slog
Gas Prices Reach New Record High

The national average price for regular gasoline reached a new record-high on Tuesday, according to AAA.
The new high — $4.37 a gallon — breaks the previous record of $4.33 set on March 11.
Gas prices jumped 5 cents overnight and a whopping 17 cents in the past week, CNN reported.
California, Nevada and Hawaii have all reached an average of more than $5 per gallon. Diesel fuel also set an all-time record on Tuesday of $5.50 a gallon.
“With the cost of oil accounting for more than half of the pump price, more expensive oil means more expensive gasoline,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said. “These prices are creeping closer
The combination of the Constitution’s 15th and 19th amendments gave black men and women the right to vote in any election for whomever they decide, yet there are some who misinterpret our ability to vote as being determinative of what party we should vote for. While it is true that the majority of black Americans vote Democrat, those amendments gave us the right to vote with our individual interests in mind and not be gatekept in the political process.Sunny Hostin, co-host of the daytime show “The View,” had a moment of honest ignorance Friday as she stated, “I don’t understand black Republicans,” and said a black Republican is “an oxymoron.”
The U.S. Navy removed three controversial books on racism from its Professional Reading Program list, according to a May 6 press release from the Chief of Naval Operations.
Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Mike Gilday released an updated list of the Navy’s reading list, which excludes three controversial titles included in the 2021 reading list. CNO’s 2021 version included titles such as Ibram X. Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist,” Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow,’ and Jason Pierceon’s “Sexual Minorities and Politics.”
Does anyone wonder where all the global warming destruction is? After all, the media are unrelenting in telling us how much climate change caused by man is affecting us. Yet no existential threat has emerged. There’s something off with the story.
The climate alarmists have based their predictions of doom on computer models that have been projecting global temperature increases, the likes of which, they tell us, are unsustainable. We must cut our carbon dioxide emissions, even if (actually, especially if) it hurts developed world economies.
This is the narrative we’re bombarded with on a daily basis. And it’s wrong.
When Lufthansa, Germany’s flag carrier airline, left New York for Frankfurt, most, but by no means all, of its passengers were Jew, with about 80% of them being Hasidic Jews bound for Budapest. Because some of the Hasidic passengers apparently refused to wear their masks, once the plane arrived in Frankfurt, Lufthansa banned all but two Jews (men whose yarmelkes were hidden under baseball camps) from boarding their flight to Hungary. This openly antisemitic conduct was bad under any circumstances, but it was especially ugly coming from a German company. After all, in 1938, a year that was the prelude to the Holocaust
Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is, to quote a certain sitting U.S. president, a “big f****** deal.” It’s not just that the decision is a huge victory for conservatives that cleanses us of one of America’s gravest moral taints. Justice Alito’s decision matters because of the potential it unlocks.
If Alito’s opinion is issued unchanged, it will represent the full reversal of one of the foundational decisions of the Warren and Burger Courts of the 60s and 70s. It is no exaggeration to say that the Supreme Court of those two decades created the modern left-wing hegemony we are currently groaning under.
Judge Amit Mehta sounded perturbed, to say the least.
The D.C. District Court judge handling numerous January 6 legal matters, including the Justice Department’s high-profile prosecution of the Oath Keepers, flatly dismissed concerns by defense attorneys that the first trial in the case will coincide with public hearings held by the January 6 Select Committee later this year.
“Even if Congress is on the steps of the courthouse reading the [final] report, I am not moving the September trial,” Mehta warned during a status hearing last week for nine Oath Keepers accused of seditious conspiracy among other charges.
Mehta’s outburst was telling. In any other jurisdiction in the country,

So much for COVID, abortions, cancer, heart attacks, violent crime, or fentanyl killing off people like the plague. They all need to move aside.
