There are buckets and buckets of legal contingencies in the fabricated case created by Special Counsel Jack Smith, acting on behalf of Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord, and the DOJ case against Donald J. Trump.
So many contingencies, there is almost no reason to look at any procedural process with any inclination the date will have consequence. However, that said, Judge Aileen Cannon has smartly delayed the trial portion of the case until May 20, 2024. [Full Legal Outline pdf]
I say smartly, because by Mid-May 2024, President Trump will likely have wrapped up the GOP nomination, and that structural reality itself will punt the
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, just released a minimally redacted copy of the FBI’s FD-1023 detailing a confidential human source’s reporting of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Ukrainian business Burisma. According to the FD-1023 summary, Burisma’s owner specifically referenced the firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — the same man Biden bragged about Ukraine firing after his threat to withhold aid from the country while he was vice president.
A Specific Type of Continuity

In roughly the past fifty years, the term “continuity of government” has been used with increased frequency describing how the United States of America, a constitutional republican system of government, contains internal mechanisms to protect the executive branch in the event of crisis, attack or disruption of leadership by adversaries.

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis is now trailing former President Donald Trump by 20 percentage points among Florida voters in the upcoming 2024 Republican Presidential primary, according to recent poll numbers.
New polling results from Florida Atlantic University show Trump with the biggest lead over DeSantis of all major GOP primary polls conducted in 2023.
The poll asked registered Republican voters, "If the GOP Presidential Primary were held today, which candidate would you vote for?" 50 percent of polled voters chose Trump, while 30 percent chose DeSantis. 7 percent of voters were undecided, and the remaining 13 percent were divided between other GOP candidates, i

It’s going to get a lot more huggy in the brand image of Team DeSantis 2.0
According to campaign officials, and those inside the operations, DeSantis will stop talking about Florida, tone down the wokeism and confrontation with the alphabet people, drop the expensive platform speeches and focus on small group meetings to help the candidate learn how to like people more. In essence, stop being the DeSantis campaign. (snip)Expect fewer big speeches and more handshaking in diners and churches. There will be more of a national focus than constant Florida references. And the mainstream media may start to get more access.

According to FBI testimony, Joe Biden was heavily involved in the federal investigation into his son, Hunter Biden. An IRS agent who was assigned to the case informed Congress that Biden was “extremely well known” to the authorities who were conducting the probe, and even made appearances at an FBI office during the investigation.
Wow. That seems highly unprofessional and unethical.(snip)“We were working with a small [US Attorney’s Office] who might not have ever worked a case of this caliber. Delaware was the state in which the subject’s father lived in, and the family was extremely well known throughout the state, including [by] people on the team.”

The idiots running the asylum formerly known as Washington, D.C., aren’t even trying anymore. Gone are the days when malfeasance and hoaxes were respectably cloaked in falsehoods that at least sounded plausible. Now, the emperor knows he has no clothes, he knows you know it, and he doesn’t care — in fact, he might march down the street and gyrate in your face.
It’s not a good development for lovers of self-governance, but there’s a kind of camaraderie in knowing everyone else with half a brain cell can see through the act. Besides, it’s obvious the clownish powers-that-be think you’re utterly stupid, and there’s a tactical advantage to being underestimated.
The FBI, which had known Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic since 2019, admitted to Twitter that it was real on the day the New York Post published its reporting on the laptop — but then switched its narrative to “no further comment” and refused to acknowledge the laptop’s veracity to any other Big Tech companies ahead of the 2020 election, according to July 17 testimony from Laura Dehmlow, the section chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF).

Now look at them Bozos, that’s the way you do it. You dump on Trump on C-Span TV. That ain’t working, that’s the way you do it. Money from donors and your trips for free.
Ah yes, a little Dire Straits for a nation in dire straits.
Every four years, America holds a presidential election, and every four years a bunch of people with no chance of winning enter the race and raise money. They do so because they can spend the money they raise pretty much as they want. It beats working for a living.
The federal government used to match some of the money raised, which was a porch light

If Harvard were renamed Balderdash U, it might be forgiven for what at least two of its spokesmen wrote following the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that Harvard’s affirmative action violates the 14th Amendment.
(snip)Harvard has been discriminating for years, but woke leftists only call it “discrimination” when blacks are excluded. When Asians are excluded it’s called diversifying. When white conservatives are excluded it’s called security. What Harvard has been doing for years is not exactly “Jim Crow.” It’s more like “James Crow,” or perhaps “Dr. James Crow.”

Most members of the US women’s soccer team stayed silent during the national anthem before its World Cup opener Friday against newcomers Vietnam — who passionately belted their nation’s tune.
The majority of the reigning women’s World Cup champion team stared stoically ahead as the “Star Spangled Banner” blasted across New Zealand’s Eden Park arena.
Only five of the 11 players who stood on the field for the anthem — with young, aspiring players standing before them — placed their hands over their hearts, while their six teammates kept their digits clasped behind their backs, video shows. Only three USWNT players — Julie Ertz, Alyssa Naeher and Lindsey Horan — sang
According to report by Andrew Romano from Yahoo News that played on CNN, Joe Biden is the second most unpopular president in modern US history at this point in his presidency. Jimmy Carter was first.

Joe Biden is obsessed with “firsts” — especially when it comes to naming minorities to positions in his administration. Biden has prioritized “diversity” over almost everything else, including merit, experience, and judging by some of his choices, intelligence (we’re looking at you, Mayor Pete).
So it was no surprise when Biden announced that the new secretary of the Navy would be Adm. Lisa Franchetti — the first woman to lead the Navy and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The backstory to Franchetti’s nomination, as told by Politico, is that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had two slates of nominees for Biden to examine, including two choices for
Let’s see how many old-timey words for “nonsense” I can squeeze into one article about 56 years of climate change balderdash.
Soap-dodging prairie fairies have been ringing the Chicken Little climate klaxon for at least five decades. That means we are celebrating more than 50 years of “the sky is falling” horsefeathers.
Every climate gloomster has one thing in common: when it comes to their grim predictions for the planet, they’re all batting zero.
A lot of them also seem to ignore actual climate-related emergencies, like the ongoing train derailment trauma in East Palestine, Ohio, where residents suffered vomiting, rashes, nose-bleeds, and bronchitis as they watched their pets and livestock die.
Former President Trump is warning Democrats that the implications of sending him to prison would be for the extremist party, saying it would be very dangerous. During an interview on The Simon Conway Show, Trump was asked how his massive group of supporters would react if the 45th president were behind bars at the hands of the Left’s politically motivated scheme— sparked by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
“I think it’s a very dangerous thing to even talk about,” Trump added, “because we do have a tremendously passionate group of voters, much more passion than they had in 2020 and much more passion than in 2016.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said he suspects foul play goes back decades among President Joe Biden's family.
Comer appeared on Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) podcast Verdict in a two-part episode, the second half of which aired Friday. The Kentucky representative took questions surrounding his investigation into the Biden family's business deals abroad, including in China, Russia, and Ukraine. "I'm not shocked about anything," Comer said of the investigation's revelations so far. "I think Joe Biden has been selling access to our enemies for decades."

DEARBORN, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – LGBTQ+ and transgender-supporting Democrats have a Muslim problem in Michigan as the conservative Muslim community pushes back against Democrat-supported LGBTQ legislation and policies.
In Hamtramck, the all-Muslim city council in the only Muslim-majority city in the United States, recently voted unanimously to institute a flag resolution called “Resolution to Maintain and Conform the Neutrality of the City of Hamtramck Towards its Residents.” In the resolution, they prohibit flags of any racial, ethnic, religious or sexual-oriented group on city property.
Country singer Jason Aldean has doubled down on the video for his controversial song 'Try That in a Small Town' and slammed the 'bulls**t' he claims has ruined America.

Speaking at his show in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Friday night, Aldean told the crowd: 'I've seen a lot of stuff suggesting I am this, suggesting I am that.
The US citizenship test is being updated after more than 1 million people became Americans citizens last year - one of the highest numbers on record since 1907.
The naturalisation test is one of the final steps toward American citizenship - a months-long process that requires legal permanent residency for years before applying.
The US currently has the easiest citizenship test compared to other Western countries, including Germany, Canada and the UK, political science experts allege.
In the summer of 2001 we took our younger son, two-year-old Jonathan, to the neurologist. He hadn’t developed speech, never played with toys, and had a compulsion to stare at cracks in the pavement while flapping his hands. The diagnosis was almost instant: autism. “He has it in spades,” the doctor said. Autism? We had hardly heard the term growing up, and we had nothing remotely like it up our family trees. My pregnancy was healthy and free from risk factors. Yet here we were, handed a devastating diagnosis, with our son sentenced, for no reason we could discern, to a lifetime of severe mental impairment. And it wasn’t just Jonny. CORRECTION*
Mark Levin reacted to Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to set the Trump classified document trial date for May 20, 2024 – less than 6 months before the 2024 election!
This is election interference.
Levin said Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, “blew it – Big-time” and said she has given her “rubber stamp to the election interference scheme of the Biden DOJ and the Democrats.”
“Judge Cannon blew it. Big-time. A criminal trial in the middle of a presidential election, when I believe most of the primary races are over (or many anyway). And if Trump is found guilty on a single charge, even if he appeals,
HUDSON, N.H. — They acknowledge Donald Trump’s dominance, but weary Republicans across New Hampshire — even inside the governor’s office — are fighting to stop the former president from winning the first-in-the-nation primary. For now, however, they’re relying on little more than hope and prayers. Look no further than Mike Pence, Trump’s former vice president, who repeatedly appealed to voters’ faith this week as he tried to resurrect his anemic presidential campaign while courting a few dozen voters in a former state lawmaker’s backyard.
