    Letitia James, Judge Engoron Wanted to Get Trump, Justice Be Damned

    As a New Yorker, I wish Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron would treat shoplifters, graffiti vandals, and armed robbers with just a puff of the volcanic rage with which they “get Trump.” Former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud indictment, trial, and $354.9 million penalty are an abortion of justice. That massive sum likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment requirement…

    PolitiFact Celebrates ‘Fact-Checking’ Trump 1,000 Times; Obama, Biden Not So Much

    Never call PolitiFact an “independent fact-checker.” It is every bit as liberal and biased as its fans in the liberal media. Recently, it announced it had published its 1,000th “fact-check” of former President Donald Trump. “American fact-checkers have never encountered a politician who shares Trump’s disregard for factual accuracy,” it proclaimed. “Ever since he descended…

    It would take a sweeping legal ruling for the Supreme Court to effectively kick former President Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado and elsewhere, say legal scholars who’ve analyzed the arguments set for Thursday in the case.  “In order for Trump to lose, he has to lose bigly.
