Facts We’ve Known, And Have Just Waited For Proof: Top DOJ Official EXPOSES Alvin Bragg, Admits Trump Cases Are Bogus

An undercover journalist with Crowder’s Mug Club can be overheard leading Biase on as she said Bragg’s felony convictions “did nothing to stop” President Trump from leading in the polls while President Joe Biden remained in the race. “No, in fact they made him more relevant,” Biase admits near the start of the clip. Asked if Bragg’s case backfired, he nods. “It sure did.”

Going on, he added, “The whole thing is disgusting, and they’re out to get him… and that’s why, like, he’s surging in the polls. You know, it’s a perversion of justice.”

Of course it was politically motivated. They couldn’t beat him at the ballot box, so they tried all the legal machinations to prevent him from running. These are the people that should be sent to jail, not patriots.

IBM Sued Again For Being Racist Against White Men

/1🚨BREAKING🚨

We just sued IBM for allegedly firing a high-performing white, male employee to fulfill illegal race & sex-based employment quotas.

This is the third legal action against IBM for race discrimination — the second from AFL, plus one from @AGAndrewBailey.

THREAD:

/2 Our client began working for IBM in October 2016 as a Senior Managing Consultant supporting existing clients on long-term projects. He was a model employee and consistently received high scores on IBM’s primary employee performance metric, the “Net Promotor Score,” which is calculated directly from client feedback and overall satisfaction.

/3 While at IBM, our client received strong performance reviews and was publicly recognized on multiple occasions in his division’s monthly all-hands meetings for his outstanding performance, with management quoting his feedback from clients and applauding his work.

By all accounts, our client was a high-performing employee at IBM.

/4 In July 2023, without notice or warning, IBM placed our client on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), citing reasons completely outside of his job description, work history, and control. Even worse, the PIP was generalized, vague, and lacked any concrete measures or metrics for success.

/5 Despite this, our client made a good-faith effort to follow the terms of the PIP and keep his job at IBM. He requested resources from IBM to help him secure a prospective client, which went largely unanswered.

In October 2023, IBM terminated his employment.

/6 At the time that our client was fired, IBM’s corporate policies incentivized executives to make decisions about employees based on their race and sex. These incentives, which included executive bonuses, were directly tied to IBM’s race and sex quotas for employees, which are illegal under federal law.

/7 Per IBM’s 2023 ESG Report, they report:

/8 By instituting bonus incentives for hiring and promoting quotas tied to race and sex, IBM established discriminatory employment policies and motivated supervisors to reduce the number of employees outside of “preferred” racial and sex-based categories.

/9 These discriminatory policies were discussed by IBM’s Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna as far back as 2021, in undercover videos released on 𝕏 by @JamesOKeefeIII

@JamesOKeefeIII /10 This lawsuit is our second lawsuit against IBM for discriminatory and unlawful employment practices.

We sued IBM’s subsidiary, Red Hat, for violating Civil Rights laws by allegedly engaging in discriminatory employment and termination practices against white males.

Diversity when I worked there meant anybody other than straight white Christian men. The more checks you got for not being one of that combo, the more you could get away with things that would get others in trouble.

Covid Jab Pulled Because Of Blood Clots

How long can they keep the lid on the other vaccines?

The pharmaceutical giant recently announced a voluntary withdrawal of its Covid-19 vaccine globally, citing a surplus of other COVID-19 vaccines targeting new variants on the market and low demand for the company’s Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID‑19 vaccine, sold under the brand names Covishield and Vaxzevria.

The company has faced a mountain of lawsuits worldwide and has recently admitted in court that its COVID-19 vaccine can cause blood clots. However, what hasn’t been widely disclosed is AstraZeneca’s most recent Phase III two-year post-vaccine safety clinical trial study results, which is quite alarming.

“F**king Clown Show”: Unsealed Court Docs Reveal Biden DOJ Colluded With National Archives To Target Trump, Jack Smith Tried To Conceal

Newly unsealed documents in Donald Trump’s classified documents case reveal that the Biden White House colluded with the National Archives (NARA) and the FBI to concoct a case against the former president.

What’s more, Special Counsel Jack Smith sought to conceal this – telling Judge Eileen Cannon in February that Trump’s counsel isn’t entitled to discovery on documents between the White House and NARA, that the court should toss requests for evidence of the alleged coordination, and that the court should deny Trump’s request for evidence related to secure facilities at his residences. Further, Trump’s request for unredacted discovery of materials should be denied.

7 things you should never ask Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa

Better yet, don’t use any of them to spy on you, especially Google. The article says it can be used against you if you are in trouble with the law, but nevertheless, here it is:

1. Play doctor

You’re better off not asking Siri, Google or Alexa for any medical advice — not just lifesaving advice. Trusting those smart assistants might just make things worse. It’s always best to call or book a telehealth appointment with your doctor.

2. How to hurt someone

Don’t ask your smart assistant about harming someone, even if you’re just venting. Those chats with Siri or Google Assistant could come back to bite you if you end up on the wrong side of the law. Keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself.

3. Anything that ends up with your mug shot

Don’t ask Alexa where to buy drugs, where to hide a body or anything else suspicious. Like asking your smart assistant how to hurt someone, these types of questions could be used against you.

4. Be your telephone operator

If you need to call your closest Home Depot to see if they have something in stock, find the number yourself. The same goes for asking that assistant to call emergency services. Dialing 911 takes two seconds.

5. Deal with your money

Although voice assistants can connect to your financial apps, there are many security issues with voice data. Savvy cybercriminals can hack into your phone, steal your voice and use it to drain your accounts. Just log into your bank’s website or mobile app and call it a day.

6. “Will I die if I eat this?”

If you’re on a hike wondering if the berries you found would make a good snack, voice assistants aren’t reliable sources. There’s conflicting information online about poisonous foods and plants, and taking their advice could land you a trip to the hospital.

7. “Get rid of this.”

Don’t ask Alexa or Siri to clear your search history, delete an app or remove photos. I’ve had a few mishaps where a simple misunderstanding led to something important getting wiped out. Trust me, it’s worth the extra minute to do it manually.

Things That Say Why Disney Sucks, Musk Helps Sue The Mouse

The Tragic Kingdom continues to go down the toilet. 

The good news is that Elon Musk is in with people that want to sue Disney.

Gina Carano Sues Disney Over ‘Mandalorian’ Firing in Lawsuit Funded by Elon Musk: (click for full story)

In an escalation of a standoff over her firing from The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit that opens another front in the battlefield for influence over Hollywood that has drawn in corporate America.

Carano, in a complaint filed Tuesday in California federal court, alleges she was fired for voicing right-wing opinions on social media and seeks a court order that would force Lucasfilm to recast her. Elon Musk, making good on a promise to foot the legal bill for users who claim they have been discriminated against due to their activity on his platform, is helping fund the suit through X.

In other news: Disney+ Loses 1.3 Million Subscribers After Price Hike

Disney+ has reported a 1.3 million drop in global subscribers in the final three months of 2023.

The Walt Disney Company’s streaming platform—which includes brands like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic—lost about 400,000 subscribers in the U.S. and Canada alone, per a press release. Its losses were even greater internationally, amounting to 900,000.

In total, subscriptions decreased from 112.6 million to 111.3 million at the close of its first fiscal quarter, which ended on Dec. 30 (The Walt Disney Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to Sept. 30, per the Securities and Exchange Commission.)

Disney+ partially attributed the losses to the “substantial price increase” it implemented that same quarter. On Oct. 12, the company raised the price for its ad-free Disney+ Premium plan by $3, bringing the cost of commercial-free watching from $10.99 to $13.99 per month. The price of Disney+ Basic, which includes ads, remained the same at $7.99 per month.

It’s not the price hike alone, it’s the quality of the entertainment and just how far Disney can go woke, hating America and morals the whole way.

I have a cousin that has seasonal passes, but then she informed the family that she was a Biden supporter, so I guess the 2 go hand in hand.

The Squad, Self Destructing Like Liberals and Girls Do

This group of America haters is finally doing it to themselves by revealing who they really are. It makes me wonder who in those districts is really voting for these losers?

Ilhlan Omar’s marriage to her brother should subject to stripping her of her citizenship and deportation. Her recent remarks to Somalis in America — “Somalis first, Muslims second” — should be sufficient reason to send her packing

I’ve Been Identifying Ilhan Omar as ‘D-Mogadishu’ for Years. It Turns Out I Was Right.

Ilhan Omar rocketed to notoriety a few years back by warning that some American officials have dual loyalties. As it turns out, she was one of them. 

Back in 2019, the winsome and patriotic congresswoman had the courage to declare, “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says that it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” She was talking about American officials who supposedly had loyalty to both the U.S. and Israel, but on Sunday, a video appeared on X showing Omar telling a Somali crowd that they all were “Somalis first, Muslims second.” Nothing about being Americans. And that was the least jarring and offensive part of the speech.

Squad members Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) were the only two Congressmen to vote against a bill that bars Hamas and other terrorists who took part in the October 7 jihadist terror attack on Israel from entry into the United States. The bill passed 422 to 2 with one Democrat voting present: Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL). Other Squad members voted for the bill which was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA).

In a statement, Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, said, she voted against the bill because it is “redundant” and that it was a “GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.”


Tlaib was censured by the House on November 7, 2023 for her anti-Semitic comments after the October 7 attack on Israel. The bipartisan vote was 234-188 with 22 Democrats voting for censure.

Colorado Just Made Trump A Martyr – It Just Got Lot Worse For Everyone Else

In an effort to somehow try and take Trump out of the 2024 election, the Colorado Supreme Court just made him far more popular. Even Biden’s advisors should have him make a statement to stop this as the people are going to turn out for the Donald even more.

These people think they are all bold by trying to not allow him to run, but he’ll be on the ballot and even more electable. If by chance they succeed, watch both his write in vote in Colorado and the vote in all the other states skyrocket. 

Even if you don’t like him, people know this is just get even-ism and childish behavior. If they can pull it on him, they can screw the general public even more. No one wants that.

—

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s 2024 presidential primary ballot “because he engaged in an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.”

“A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution,” wrote the court. “Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.”

Section Three states:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The Colorado Supreme Court just happened to remind people that justices don’t have to be Originalists. After all, if you stick with the plain language in the Constitution you cannot bend it to your will and agenda (I took out the notations):

If the language is clear and unambiguous, then we enforce it as written, and we need not turn to other tools of construction. However, if the provision’s language is reasonably susceptible of multiple interpretations, then it is ambiguous, and we may consider “the textual, structural, and historical evidence put forward by the parties,” and we will construe the provision “in light of the objective sought to be achieved and the mischief to be avoided.”

Section 3 is not ambiguous. Like 99% of the rest of the Constitution it is crystal clear: You cannot hold office if you engaged in an insurrection or rebellion.

Let’s look at the word engaged. Merriam-Webster has six definitions of engaged. The two that best matches the word in section three are “involved in activity” and “involved especially in a hostile encounter.”

I look at the thesaurus to get a deeper understanding of a word.

Strongest synonyms of engaged as a verb “as in start a fight; attack:” face, meet.

Strongest synonyms of engaged as a verb “as in interconnect; bring into operation:” join, lock.

Compensation For Covid-19 Vaccine Injuries

Here is the whole Thing. But not getting the jab in the first place was the better decision.

Excerpt below.

Congressional Research Service
SUMMARY
Compensation for COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries
More than 260 million Americans, and billions of people worldwide, have received one or more
doses of a vaccine to protect against Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Most common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines are mild and generally resolve in a few days. In rare instances,COVID-19 vaccines can cause serious adverse events.


Individuals who believe they are injured by COVID-19 vaccines may seek compensation for
those injuries and associated harms or costs. Absent an applicable federal law, individuals
allegedly injured by a vaccine might seek redress by filing a state tort law claim against the
vaccine manufacturer. However, federal law has two distinct compensation regimes that limit
legal liability for vaccine manufacturers and provide potential compensation—without requiring
a showing of fault—for individuals harmed by adverse reactions to vaccines.


For injuries and deaths associated with most vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for routine administration in the United States , the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) may provide compensation. During public health emergencies declared under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act), the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program
(CICP) may provide compensation for injuries and deaths resulting from the administration of “covered countermeasures,” which may include vaccines.


The VICP and CICP regimes are similar in some ways, but the programs serve distinct purposes. Compensation through CICP is generally less comprehensive than through VICP. CICP is a regulatory process administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). CICP
compensation is available only for death or serious injuries resulting from a covered countermeasure. A claimant must generally file a request form and associated documentation with HRSA within one year of the date that the covered countermeasure was administered. For injuries not listed by the Secretary of HHS on a Countermeasure Injury Table, the claimant must demonstrate that the injury was a direct result of the countermeasure’s administration based on compelling medical and scientific evidence. HRSA makes decisions regarding eligibility and compensation; judicial review is not available. CICP compensation is limited to reasonable medical expenses, loss of employment income, and a death benefit when the claimant’s death is a direct result of the administration of a covered countermeasure.


Under the Secretary of HHS’s current PREP Act Declaration for COVID-19, FDA-authorized or -approved COVID-19 vaccines are covered countermeasures. While a PREP Act declaration is in effect, CICP is the sole remedy available for injuries related to covered countermeasures, so CICP—and not VICP—will apply to injuries resulting from COVID-19 vaccinations while the Declaration remains in effect. Due to COVID-19, the number of CICP claims has increased
dramatically. As of February 1, 2023, CICP has received 11,252 claims alleging injury or death relating to COVID-19 countermeasures. Of those, 8,067 claims (71.7%) relate to COVID-19 vaccines. HRSA has not yet compensated any CICP claims relating to COVID-19 countermeasures.


When coverage under the PREP Act Declaration for COVID-19 ends, COVID-19 vaccine injuries could be compensated through VICP, contingent on additional regulatory and statutory changes. To be included in the VICP, (1) the vaccine must be recommended by the CDC for routine administration to children or pregnant women; (2) the vaccine must be made subject
by act of Congress to the excise tax that funds VICP; and (3) the Secretary of HHS must add the vaccine to the Vaccine Injury Table, which lists injuries and conditions associated with vaccines covered by VICP. Should all of these changes occur, COVID-19 vaccines would be covered by VICP.


To receive compensation through VICP for a vaccine-related injury or death, the injured person or their estate must file a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, generally within three years of the onset of the first symptom or significant aggravation of the injury, or within two years of death or four years of the first symptom resulting in death. To receive compensation, petitioners must show either that they experienced an injury listed in the Vaccine Injury Table within the time frame specified in the Table, or prove that the vaccine was the “but-for” cause of their injury. Special masters determine eligibility and compensation; their decisions may be appealed to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Successful petitioners may receive medical expenses, lost income, a set death benefit, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Petitioners who are dissatisfied with the compensation they receive, or whose claims are delayed, may opt to pursue civil actions in court, subject to certain limitations on vaccine manufacturer liability.

Changing The Law For Ex-Presidents – Look Out Bubba Clinton

There are two sets of rules, one for democrats and one for everyone else. Trump got charged with a felony that is a misdemeanor throughout history. Whether he cheated or not may never be known. We know that Billy the raper was a tremendous horn dog.

What makes it fun as Trump’s charges wer a payoff for sex as told by the press and the indictment. I wonder how Clinton is feeling other than knowing they are above the law.

Well Bubba, we’ll see if the law is fair to all.

Covid Phase 3 Trials – Human Testing

OK, It’s sarcasm in a way, but the phase 3 clinical trials on humans don’t end until 2023. What is being passed as a vaccination is an emergency approval with no legal recourse. Pfizer’s FDA “approved vaccine”, Comirnaty is not available yet and will have a different recipe so they don’t get sued.

There are so many side effects of the current Jab that they need to protect themselves legally as the available mRNA version is killing people.

The CDC has changed the definition of a vaccine to cover for the jab. Vaccine– “a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.” Instead of “PRODUCING IMMUNITY” the new definition moves the goal posts and states that their pseudo vaccine “STIMULATES THE BODY’S IMMUNE RESPONSE.” Let that sink in.

I’m not excusing Moderna or Johnson and Johnson (Astrazenica has it’s own problems and won’t get FDA approval until it gets to the USA) as they have a similar testing period.

Get ready for the legal cases when this becomes the new mesothelioma (hint, click for more sarcasm).

9/11 Trial, First a Circus….

Read the full story here, but making a farce of it seems to be the first objective.

Walid bin Attash used to frequent online dating sites. “Loves to travel — sometimes at a moment’s notice,” bin Attash described himself before his 2003 capture. So writes former CIA veteran Jose Rodriguez in his new book, “Hard Measures: How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives.”

On Saturday, bin Attash was one of five defendants charged with 2,976 counts of murder for their role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It would seem that bin Attash has grown very devout at Guantanamo Bay. His civilian attorney, Cheryl Bormann, wore a hijab and an abaya at the military pretrial hearing. She even suggested that female prosecutors dress in more “appropriate” fashion in deference to the defendants’ “fear of committing a sin under their faith.” According to news reports, distaff prosecutors wore military uniforms with knee-length skirts.

“Is the bin Attash in your book the same guy whose attorney feels she must cover her entire body?” I asked Rodriguez. Yes, he answered. “These people are pretty hypocritical. One thing is their religious beliefs; the other thing is what they do.”

It’s clear from Saturday’s antics that the military tribunal, which is not expected to begin until May 2013, will be a circus. Defense attorneys don’t have much of a claim to the clients’ innocence. In 2007, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed issued a statement in which he proclaimed that he was the mastermind of 9/11, “from A to Z.” In 2008, KSM and his co-defendants told a military court that they were guilty and wanted to be martyred.

When President Barack Obama was elected, he halted military legal proceedings in favor of a civilian trial in New York. Fearing a possible terrorist attack, Congress objected. Under new rules, the military tribunal is back.

Working With the Legal Department

 

I just had to get a press release approved for PartnerWorld.  9 lawyers later, I got a version back that resembled what I submitted.

It was now devoid of content and any facts relating to any announcement, said or implied, pertaining to or related to any issue with or without any implications to the company or any of it’s divisions or partners both expressed or implied whether discussing any actual issue, but not limited to any actual information that might be relevant to those to whom the information might be directed to forth with.

I sent the reporters what I wanted to anyway and blew off the lawyers as usual.
