The tables are starting to turn against Biden's team, and in favor of Trump.

....
Joe Biden's DOJ has indicted Trump so many times, it's hard to keep track of them all. Few Americans believe these indictments are really about the charges–and not attempts at derailing the 2024 Election. Joe Biden is such a bad candidate, that Democrats appear to be going out of their way to manipulate the election.

The special counsel running most of these trials is a leftist named Jack Smith. Smith is running the case against Trump out of Florida–accusing him of a variety of crimes over boxes of paperwork he kept at his house. But Smith has a big problem, a judge that refuses to let politics interfere with justice. And she just shut down the left's scheme.

From Fox News:

Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida – who is presiding over the case stemming from a Miami grand jury's June indictment of Trump – denied the Department of Justice's (DOJ) request for sealed filings, striking two from the record. Cannon also requested additional information from prosecutors regarding the continued use of an out-of-state grand jury to investigate the case.

Ouch. It looks as if Judge Cannon is not at all pleased with how Jack Smith is conducting his prosecution. She denied attempts by the DOJ's lapdog to seal the filings, which would have prevented the public from learning what is going on.

She also is demanding answers from this prosecutor over why he keeps using an out-of-district grand jury to run his case. Some have suggested that Smith is using a grand jury in a district that has more people with anti-Trump leanings. All so he can have an advantage in railroading the former president.
...

Hey Bud, do a little research beyond your retarded right wingnut disinformation conspiracy theory websites and Faux News and you will realize this "judge" is a total Trump lackey who doesn't know shit from Shinola.
She was appointed by Trump after he was voted out of office and she has practically zero trial experience. Look it up.
She has already been overturned by an appellate court in a ruling she made last year in the classified docs case because she totally fucked up.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/08/egal-experts-blast-judge-aileen-cannons-latest-pro-trump-rulings

Quote from:  Bess Levin Vanity Fair

As I said. The tables are starting to turn against Biden and his team. Consider. Have the charges been dropped? Has the prosecution gone away? No... to both of these.

Judge Cannon made a move in the right direction. The charges against Trump are trumped up, and she is willing to rule in a direction that is right. Bravo for her. But her ruling can be overturned, possibly. Even Trump has to start somewhere. This is part of his start to fight back.

Any of you jokers who are simple, honest people, and not some kind of troll, are really mixed up if you are against Trump. It's kinda like this:

Let's say that Trump is actually doing something bad against you (which he is not, BTW). Let's say he has a 45 pistol pointed at you, and looks like he is ready to pull the trigger. Bad Trump. But you forget this...

Biden and his crew are dozens, all with machine guns pointed at you, and they seem to have already pulled their triggers. Wanna see it? Just look at the economy, and the direction it's going. Prices of a whole lot of things have more than doubled. Companies are shutting down. New car sales have dropped to almost nothing.

Trump brought the economy back into a powerful position in only 4 years. But Biden made it worse than it ever was in less than 3 years.

And as if that wasn't enough, and since this post is about Trump, now Biden is going after Trump criminally, to destroy whatever good is left.

You jokers are really mixed up... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5269905.msg55119252#msg55119252.

Climate change doesn't really bring any problems to nature. Nature takes care of itself. Do you remember that the northern lands were warm years ago? They still find mammoths frozen in the ice in northern Siberia... eating grass that is only found in warmer lands. Now the Polar bears are loving the warmth.

Climate Activists are Silent on Polar Bears Because their Doom-Mongering Blew Up in their Faces

A Grist article last week pandered to activist polar bear specialists over their failed climate change agenda as it tried to minimize why the climate movement doesn’t talk about polar bears anymore. Apparently, the Arctic icon has “largely fallen out of fashion” through “overexposure” resulting in polar bear images invoking “cynicism and fatigue.” But that isn’t really true, is it?

While there is an admission that the over-hyped lies about starving bears promoted by National Geographic in 2017 and 2018 were a factor, there is no mention in the article of the well-known, documented evidence of scientists’ own failed assumptions that polar bears require summer sea ice for survival have had any impact on public opinion (Amstrup et al. 2007; Crockford 2015, 2019, 2022, 2023; Lippold et al. 2019; Rode et al. 2021).

Thriving populations in the Chukchi Sea and elsewhere amid low summer ice levels have busted the myth that polar bears need ice year-round.

Andrew Derocher was also allowed to repeat, unchallenged, the ridiculous narrative he and his activist supporters have peddled before, that insists the polar bear had become a climate change icon by accident rather than design, a lie I addressed in detail last year. Some excerpts from that 2022 post are copied below.

Kiev covering up illegal organ trade – Moscow



https://www.rt.com/russia/580958-russia-ukraine-organ-trafficking/
Russia's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has alleged that members of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's administration are personally engaged in, and are covering up, the illicit export of human organs.

In an article published on the Foreign Ministry's website, Maria Zakharova cited media reports suggesting that the organs of killed Ukrainian soldiers, such as hearts, kidneys and livers, have been appearing on some of the biggest marketplaces of the dark net, with prices starting at €5,000 ($5,500). One dealer allegedly claimed that it takes 48-60 hours to receive any desired organ in a medical box, with deliveries limited to EU countries.

Zakharova noted that organs were also being traded offline, citing reports from June that representatives of a health ministry in a NATO country had struck a deal with some "private businessmen" who were assisted by Ukraine's Health Ministry and Presidential Office to deliver a refrigerated train car full of human organs and body parts.

According to the spokeswoman, organ trafficking in Ukraine has boomed since the authorities in Kiev passed a number of laws that "drastically simplified the work of transplant specialists in the country."

Specifically, Zakharova pointed to last year's Law No. 5610, which exempted transplantation from value-added tax, and the December 2021 Law No. 5831, which removed the need to notarise the written consent or authenticate the signature of a living donor to give up their organs.

Col. Douglas Macgregor: Is the Ukraine War Lost?



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ucxTCe2x6E
Douglas Macgregor is a decorated combat veteran, the author of five books, a PhD, and a defense and foreign policy consultant. He was commissioned in the Regular Army in 1976 after 1 year at VMI and 4 years at West Point. In 2004, Macgregor retired with the rank of Colonel. In 2020, the President appointed Macgregor to serve as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Defense, a post he held until President Trump left office. He holds an MA in comparative politics and a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia.

Macgregor is widely known inside the U.S., Europe, Israel, Russia, China and Korea for both his leadership in the Battle of 73 Easting, the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II, and for his ground breaking books on military transformation: Breaking the Phalanx (Praeger, 1997) and Transformation under Fire (Praeger, 2003). Macgregor's recommendations for change in Force Design and "integrated all arms-all effects" operations have profoundly influenced force development in Israel, Russia and China. In 2010, Macgregor traveled to Seoul, Korea to advise the ROK Ministry of Defense on force design. In 2019, Transformation under Fire was selected by Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi, Chief of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), as the intellectual basis for IDF transformation. His fifth book, Margin of Victory: Five Battles that Changed the Face of Modern War from Naval Institute Press is available in Chinese, as well as, English and will soon appear in Hebrew.

Russians and Ukrainians have lived together for thousands of years. At times there was no difference between them. Nobody could tell if this was a Russian or if that was an Ukrainian.

This whole war is a political action. It might have simply been a civil war, but with the US and Nato involved, it becomes a political war.

What does it mean sometimes there was no difference between Ukrainians and Russians? Maybe you can clarify, I don't know. Thank you.

Take the words that I wrote. Find a good translator, and translate them to your favorite language. Then look them up in several dictionaries. If you can't figure out the meaning after doing all that stuff, perhaps it's time for you to go back to school. You probably don't know the difference between the name "Zelensky" and the name "Putin."

You rudely evade the answer. And here Zelensky with Putin? They wrote nonsense and now you yourself can not find an answer to it.

As usual, you asked a question, the answer of which was in my post you quoted. Then when I explained that all you had to do was get a clear picture from my post by using a dictionary with a translation, you say I evaded the answer. The answer is that no matter what the answer is, you are simply not going to understand it.

The new point is the same as the old one. You don't know English or how to translate it into your home language. Or you don't really want to know the answer. Or you simply blab... gives you more posts and popularity.

there is absolutely nothing wrong in critizing your leader. criticism is part of democracy but when you call your country a zoo and all sorts of names and regret being a citizen, you have crossed the redline.
   I also have no problem with some people's vituperation and hate over there country but to suddenly decide to serve the same country you hate is hypocrisy of the highest order. and such people will have nothing to offer.they want to make use of the government to gain there own personal subscription, if appointed at the end. Because there are enemies of the country.
Since democracy is the rule of the people, it has opened our eyes and minds, so we will share our thoughts.

Being a leader requires a lot of effort and dedication, which some leaders are not willing to give. Some leaders are only there for their own self-serving purposes and will simply act in the way they like without regard to the consequences.

Since it is a democratic administration, we can criticize it and demand improvements if we find anything wrong.

Democracy simply is NOT the rule of the people. When will anybody begin to understand this? Democracy is simply a different form of dictatorship. Here is how it works in short fashion.

In a Democracy, some majority of the people elect their favorite government leaders into office. These leaders might do a few things that the majority wanted them to do. They might even do some things that the MINORITY wanted them to do. Then they do whatever they want... often against both, the majority and the minority. DICTATORSHIP!

A truly right form of government is one where the leaders only do things that don't harm the people. And it is one that a real live 'people' is only attacked by government for literally harming another real live 'people' or damaging his property... or by literal threat that is directed against another real live 'people'.

On top of this, any accusation against a 'people' is adjudicated by a 12-'people' jury of his peers. Any government official acting outside of the way the government legally and lawfully says that they must act, is acting personally, not in his government capacity. He can be attacked as a 'people' and brought to court as a 'people', not as the government official.

I say 'people' above. A person is a name on a document in US law. It might be connected to a man/woman of similar name. A 'people' is a man/woman adult.

Get this stuff into your head. You want a Republic, where any of the laws that government makes can be overruled by the people... a 12-'people' jury. You won't want a Democracy unless you want a dictatorship.

Tip about the boat came from the source inside of Ukraine of one of the EU intelligence agencies, boat was placed at the scene of explosions, explosive residue on the pipe matched to the residue found on the boat, 6 members of the sabotage crew are Ukrainian citizens. travel agency booking the boat was founded and controlled by Ukrainians with Polish bank accounts accountants and paralegals. CIA director and German intelligence officers are on record saying that evidence don't point to Russia. And found DNA matched (through his son in Germany) to a 26yr old Ukrainian soldier (not yet identified), who left Germany for Ukraine. At this point too many people are involved, and with every fifth person in Germany supporting AfD (and presumably many more in police/military circles) that they won't be able to keep this under covers. But nothing gets past your critical thinking, because through your hallucinations you just know that it was aliens Putin placed those explosives himself while riding a trained narwhal, you should contact all these publications immediately with your theory, so they can all publish corrections!

You've demonstrated that you're not even able to read your own quotes, to notice that most don't have "looks like" in them. So i don't really expect you to be able to read this either. And I'm sorry, but I just don't have the coloring pencils to draw it out in color pictures for you. But continue, do tell us what else looks like "Russia did it" to you, after all with your track record we're all very interested in hearing your next, spot on unbiased, carefully cited, predictions.
Unfortunately, your claims are (once again) without any solid proof. There's exactly no proof pointing out that Ukraine is behind it. This boat story is just too weak and doesn't make really sense, like the expert in the ZDF article has explained. But you just ignore it...
Everything could be faked by Russia to have a false flag, where Ukraine is accused.
No wonder, pro-russian trolls are always jumping on that unproven story.
You are a good example for that.
After 1.5 years of war against Ukraine, Putin knows he can trust his apologists.  Cheesy

It's a big shame that you are trying so vehemently to discredit Ukraine and throw Ukraine under the bus.
It's already your 5th post, where you are trying to accuse Ukraine for something, you have no valid proof for and Ukraine has no profit to do so. It's just pointless for Ukraine to blow up this useless pipeline, where already way before it happened, everyone knew, that NordStream 2 would never deliever any gas to Germany as long as Putin or his war crimes friends are waging war in Ukraine. No need for any western actor to blow it up...
And when the war is over, Germany will have 100% renewable energy and just don't need any Russian gas.
Russia has failed miserably.
Deal with it.   Wink

Your ideas are missing so much. Russia doesn't really care if Germany gets their gas or not. The pipeline to China is joining the two largest countries of the world in trade agreements. Who really cares about Europe and Nato? Russia doesn't need them, but they will ultimately need Russia... when the US cuts them all off... like it is slowly cutting dumb, noisy, little Ukraine off.

Did you see what the article said? "However, astronomers around the world didn't detect the asteroid in telescope data at any point before, during or after the approach because 2022 SF289 was hidden by Milky Way starlight."

How many asteroids have come dangerously close to earth, and astronomers didn't see them? They tried something new and saw this one. How in the world do they think that they can even come close to determining the age of the universe. Their work might not be humorous. But some of their conclusions are.


Skyscraper-sized asteroid spotted near Earth deemed “potentially hazardous” by NASA



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-08-08-asteroid-spotted-near-earth-deemed-potentially-hazardous.html
A new algorithm has helped astronomers detect 2022 SF289, a skyscraper-sized asteroid hiding in plain view near Earth. The algorithm was designed to hunt the biggest and most dangerous space rocks.

Experts report that 2022 SF289 is 600-foot-wide (180 meters) and orbits close enough to Earth to be classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA). The asteroid 2022 SF289 is one of an estimated 2,300 similarly classed objects.

Potentially hazardous asteroids are near-Earth objects (NEOs) that are larger than 460 feet (140 meters) in diameter.

PHAs could come within 4.65 million miles (7.48 million km) of Earth, or roughly 20 times the average distance between Earth and the moon. If an asteroid of this size breaks through the planet's atmosphere without burning up, it could result in widespread damage and countless injuries, especially if it landed in a densely populated city.

Fortunately, experts say that there is no risk of collision with 2022 SF289, at least in the foreseeable future.

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), 2022 SF289 first made a close approach to Earth in September 2022, when it flew within about 4.5 million miles (7.2 million kilometers) of the planet.

However, astronomers around the world didn't detect the asteroid in telescope data at any point before, during or after the approach because 2022 SF289 was hidden by Milky Way starlight.

But experts have finally discovered the asteroid's existence while testing out a new algorithm that was designed to specifically detect large asteroids from small fragments of data.

The detection of a PHA that is hard to spot using traditional methods proves the usefulness of the algorithm, which will soon be used to analyze data gathered by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
