Trump knew he was guilty in stolen classified documents case . . . Judge Loose Cannon saved his lying ass
https://www.rawstory.com/judge-cannon-jack-smith
Of all the legal problems Donald Trump faced, from accusations of sexual assault to business fraud, he most feared the Florida stolen government documents investigation by special counsel Jack Smith that ended up being dropped when he won re-election.
That is according to “Morning Joe” co-host Jonathan Lemire, who reported on the president’s terror at being convicted during a discussion on U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s Monday ruling that permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing Smith’s final report.
With MS NOW legal analyst Lisa Rubin once again saying “all bets” would be off if the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decides to intervene, Lemire pointed out that Trump knew he was fortunate that his appointee covered up for him.
After noting there was considerable second-guessing going on after Smith elected to pursue the case in Florida, which led to Cannon’s courtroom, Lemire reported, ”Judge Cannon ended up putting a thumb on the scale significantly for Trump down the line. And you’re right, Joe [Scarborough], we’ve talked about it on this show, Trump has privately told people, you know, more or less that he [Smith] was dead to rights on that one.”
“That was the case, the classified documents case that he feared the most,” he added. “And I know there will be second-guessing for all time in terms of the sequencing of those cases. The one in Manhattan went first, got a conviction, but it seemed to many to be the least serious, and we will never know if things had gone quicker or if the order was changed, what would have happened.“
Ex-con Charles Kushner — Trump’s ambassador to France — is told he can no longer meet with senior French officials
US ambassador to Paris banned from meeting French ministers after no-show

Donald Trump’s ambassador to Paris has been banned from meeting French government ministers after failing to show up for a meeting at the foreign ministry to explain US comments about the killing of a far-right activist.
Charles Kushner, whose son Jared is married to the US president’s oldest daughter, Ivanka, was summoned to the 7pm meeting by the foreign minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, after the US embassy in Paris reposted state department comments about the case.
Diplomatic sources told French media that Kushner, a real-estate magnate with an estimated net worth of $3.2bn (£2.4bn), cited personal commitments as his reason for not attending and sent a senior official from the embassy in his place.
“In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission, the minister has requested that he no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
The Guardian does note Kushner’s extensive criminal record and 14 months in prison. A reason to not meet him may be something they’ve long wished for.
Tennessee Republicans seek death penalty for women who have abortion
Tennessee Republicans propose bill that would allow the death penalty for women who have an abortion

Republicans in Tennessee have proposed a bill that would allow women who have had an abortion to be sentenced to death.
House Bill 570 allows for the death penalty to be imposed on women who have abortions, as well as charging women “involved in the homicide of her own unborn child” with homicide. It was co-sponsored by state Rep. Jody Barrett and Senator Mark Pody, who sponsored the bill, though it is not yet on the calendar for consideration, according to The Tennessean.
The legislation would allow prosecutors to charge women who obtain abortions with fetal homicide. This crime is punishable by life imprisonment, life without parole, and in some cases, the death penalty.
Tennessee has some of the strictest abortion laws in the U.S. since its “trigger ban” took place in 2022. The Human Life Protection Act prevents all abortions from fertilization and there are no exceptions for rape or incest.
This is the FBI Director — the man is trash
The bearded, sloppy thug in the center, guzzling beer, is Kash Patel, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He took a private government jet to Milan, Italy, where we taxpayers also paid for his ticket to the Winter Olympics’ final men’s hockey game after which he celebrated with the US team.
Meanwhile, the government of Mexico killed the leader of the biggest drug cartel in Mexico, which was followed by widespread violence — looting, burning, all caused by cartel members. US citizens in Mexico were trapped.
Know who else was obsessed with Greenland? Hitler.
Hitler’s Greenland Obsession (the Atlantic)
After creating an economic mess with ill-advised tariffs, Hitler looked north in pursuit of resources and national security.Greenland appears to have been a lifelong preoccupation of Adolf Hitler’s. According to stenographic notes from a lunchtime conversation dated May 21, 1942, Hitler recalled that hardly anyone “interested him more in his youth” than Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian explorer who in 1888 led the first team to cross Greenland’s interior.
By April 1934, Hitler’s government had inventoried Greenland: 13,500 Eskimos, 3,500 Danes, and 8,000 sheep, as well as the world’s largest deposit of a strategic natural resource—cryolite, a mineral essential to American aluminum production. In 1938, Hermann Göring dispatched an expedition to Greenland, ostensibly to explore the island’s flora and fauna. However, Hitler’s true intent may have been not scientific, but economic—the expedition was headed by a mining engineer, Kurt Herdemerten, who had been a member of the ill-fated Wegener expedition. Hitler had inflicted countless economic wounds on his country over his five years as chancellor, and this foray into the Arctic was part of a broader effort to remedy one of them.
In a drive to move Germany toward economic self-sufficiency, Hitler had imposed draconian tariffs, refused to honor foreign-debt obligations, and sought to wean the nation off Norwegian whale-oil consumption. The problem was that Germany used whale oil not only for margarine, a staple of the German diet, but also in the production of nitroglycerin, a key component for the munitions industry.

DO NOT USE NORDVPN.
Whatever you do, avoid NORDVPN. The app sucks.
I fell for their ads, subscribed, and after three days I deleted it, removed it from all my devices, and cancelled my account.
From the start I was not able to access some of my favorite sites. Then, on Sunday night, Feb 23, the whole thing went to hell.
I could connect to my wifi but could not connect to the Internet. I live in an apartment and at first I suspected a local area problem. Checked with a couple of neighbors, neither of them had a problem. I booted up one of my laptops that did not have NordVPN installed and it worked fine.
After restarting my computer a couple of times I was able to uninstall NordVPN and the system now works perfectly.
“When the (13-yr-old) woman bit down on Trump’s penis . . . “
The New Republic reported this week that accusations made by a woman who “credibly accused Donald Trump of having sex with a minor he met through Jeffrey Epstein,” appeared to have been removed from the Epstein files.
TNR reporter Edith Olmsted wrote that “A 21-page slideshow buried in the massive trove of Epstein-related documents included allegations that sometime between 1983 and 1985, Trump forced a woman to give him oral sex when she was in her early teens,” Olmsted wrote. “When the woman bit down on Trump’s exposed penis, he allegedly punched her in the head and kicked her out. That same woman told the DOJ that Epstein had introduced her to Trump in 1984.”
The report went on to say that Sollenberger found the interview records “in a separate database of documents downloaded from the government’s public files on Epstein.”
The FBI recorded the first interview on August 9, 2019 — “the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell,” Olmsted wrote.

Trump Demands Netflix Fire ‘Racist’ Susan Rice after Ex-Obama Ambassador Slammed Companies That ‘Take a Knee’ to POTUS

President Donald Trump on Saturday called on Netflix to fire Susan Rice after the former National Security Adviser said it is “not going to end well” for corporations that “take a knee” for the president. Trump went off on Rice in a post on Truth Social:
Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences. She’s got no talent or skills – Purely a political hack! HER POWER IS GONE, AND WILL NEVER BE BACK. How much is she being paid, and for what??? Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
Rice has served on Netflix’s board of directors since 2023, following an initial stint that ran from 2018 to 2020. His post included a link to an X post from Laura Loomer that showed a video clip of Rice bashing companies that are kowtowing to Trump, in her view. Rice — who served as the NSA and as an ambassador to the U.N. during ex-President Barack Obama’s time in office — said those organizations will be “held accountable” once Democrats are back in power. Here is a key slice of her statement:
When it comes to the elites — the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media… it’s not going to end well for them, for those that decided that they would act in their perceived, very-narrow self-interest — which I would underscore is very short-term self interest — and take a knee to Trump.
I think they’re starting to realize, ‘Wait a minute, this is not popular.’ Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration now, is not popular. And that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they’re going to be caught with more than their pants down, they’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box.
” She’s got no talent or skills , , , ” I thought he was describing Laura Loomer.
