Verdict on Trump judge's bias at 'hush-money' trial is in: Guilty [...] It's clear to even Trump-deranged observers that Manhattan Supreme Court Acting Justice Juan Merchan is a political hack. He was cautioned last year by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct over donations, albeit modest, to Biden and other Democrats. His daughter, Loren Merchan, has been profiting from the trial through her consulting firm as her Democrat clients reportedly raise millions in campaign donations through emails citing the trial over which her father is presiding. It was a no-brainer for Merchan to recuse himself, and yet he refused, sullying the reputation of the New York legal system. Rather than demonstrating that his personal political bent had no bearing on his courtroom conduct, Merchan has been a paragon of bias.

Kristi Noem Forced To Drive 500 Miles Around Tribal Land To Pick Up Dry Cleaning PIERRE, SD—Furrowing her brow at the clock as she pressed down harder on the gas pedal, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was reportedly forced to drive 500 miles around tribal land Thursday in order to pick up her dry cleaning. "I really wish I'd known I was going to be banned before I dropped this stuff off last week," said the visibly stressed governor, who was recently prohibited from crossing into land legally belonging to indigenous American tribes and had already navigated six hours of back roads through the state's mountainous terrain, hoping to pick up several dress options she needed for a gala.

We remember the above, si man. We had Mini-B. go into his grade archives tonight to check, si and see man. If he found the right one, it appears that we he got a Many on it, whee and glee man. So there is your answer, see man. This contributed nicely to the overall grade of Many -- si man, Many -- that Mini-B. got in Inglish overall, si man.

BK procured*, ingest Two Guys man. *WUOC, financially savvy we man Ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed up after her Ecu function, giddy ex-she man. She took Mini-B. back to her casa to retrieve something and for din-din, si man. Mini-B. pounded on our door a short time later, tearful wee man. "Mom yelled at me for leaving the garage door open, si man," said wee man man. "She also gave me this bucket of towels** to fold, si man," said wee man man. **then- & ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s infamous kitchen rags, vivid memories thereof we man "I didn't leave the garage door open, no man; she did and forgot about it, si man," said wee man man. We asked if Mini-B. had had din-din, ask we man wee man man. "All I had were a couple of empanadas, si man!" said wee man man. We tried to down-settle Mini-B., si man. We agreed that garage door wasn't open when we initially retrieved Mini-B., open-&-shut case man. We asked why ex-she man had sent him with the kitchen rags, puzzled we man. "She expects me to read her mind all the time, si man!" said wee man man. "And all she does is dump them into another bucket, si man!" said wee man man. Meanwhile, ex-Mrs.-T-B. had left us a text saying to come outside or call her later, si man. We tried calling, no answer man. We then texted, getting "I'm taking a shower, si man," what the dickens man. We never connected with ex-she man, no man. We allowed Mini-B. to play V.R., si man. We conquered our laundry load and dished/de-dished the warsher, domestic we man.

Buttigieg Flails Trying to Explain Why Only 8 EV Charging Stations Have Been Built by Biden Admin Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had a rough go of it Sunday as he appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" to first blame recent air turbulence on climate change, as RedState's Ward Clark reported. Then he flailed like a beached fish trying to explain why the Biden administration has only built eight electrical vehicle charging stations despite the fact they've promised over half a million by 2030.

[This can be our Memorial Day thread.] ================== This is touching. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Seven Years Later, Marine Widow Recalls Trump Hugging Her Son at Husband's Arlington Grave The mother of six-year-old Christian Jacobs, the boy who shared a hug with President Donald J. Trump, told RedState she and her son still remember with fondness that 2017 Memorial Day at her fallen Marine husband's Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, gravesite. "It was very sincere," said Brittany Jacobs, whose husband Marine Sgt. Christopher Jacobs was killed during an Oct. 24, 2011, premobilization training event at the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command and Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, also known as 29 Palms, because it is in Twentynine Palms, California. Jacobs said Trump was taken in by her son. "Trump came to him with a sincerity, caring, genuine, heartfelt," she said. "He hugged him the next time we saw him."

Hunter Biden's Laptop Is SO REAL It Will Be Used as Evidence in His Gun Trial My, we have come such a long way when it comes to how the Democrats, and by that I include the legacy media, have treated the Hunter Biden laptop story. Here are some of the plot points of this story: • First, Hunter left three laptops with a Delaware Mac repair shop and forgot to pick up one of them. • Then the FBI got a copy of the laptop in 2019 and pretended it didn't exist. • Then the intelligence community, knowing it could be a storyline in the 2020 election, "pre-bunked" the content of the laptop at an Aspen gathering, telling journalists invited to the yearly confab that if they heard anything about the laptop they should know it was "hacked" and should disregard it as disinformation. • Then it was dismissed as Russian disinformation and anyone reporting the story was a Putin poodle. • Then they got social media companies to censor the story and any outlet that reported it. • Then before the 2020 election, the worst secretary of State of all time got 51 lying politicians who used to work at the CIA and other spook agencies to say it sure looked like Russian disinformation. • Then its existence was a right-wing conspiracy theory. • Then Hunter's legal team confirmed its veracity in court papers. • Then the Biden poodle who had been "investigating" Hunter for years was caught doing nothing. • Then he looked at it to discover there were Mann Act and "gun use crimes while high on crack" evidence on the laptop. • Then whistleblowers highlighted Hunter's lawbreaking. • Then this week the laptop was real and its contents will be used as evidence in Hunter's upcoming gun trial. • Then the 53-year-old Biden said that his computer was hacked. This is an example of legacy media treatment of stories that make their side look bad.

Well-said, LL ma'am, as always.

This article is quite good, I think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump's sham 'hush money' case is a trial that has exposed New York's corrupt justice system The Manhattan court docket says it's the "People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump." Legally, yes, but in a larger truth, no. As the case nears the finish line, it increasingly feels as if New York itself is on trial. Only a top-quality case, beyond reproach and political taint, should have been used to bring the first-ever indictment of a former president. Instead, the city and state put on a show trial long on theatrics–porn star testifies about sex! — and short on evidence that any crime was actually committed. And so the script has flipped, with the trial itself an assault on the notion that justice is blind. No matter what the jury says about Trump, the prosecutors, the judge, the state court system and the political class have been revealed as thoroughly corrupt.

It is Sunday -- time for our highly effective* Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: *at producing approvals, if correlation = causation ============================================================= THE ULTIMATE CURE A pharmacist walked back from his lunch to the pharmacy. As he approached, he saw a man outside the pharmacy clutching onto a pole for dear life, barely breathing, not moving, not twitching a muscle, just standing there, frozen. The pharmacist asked his assistant, "What's the matter with that guy? Wasn't he in here earlier?" "Yes, he was," said the assistant. "He had the most terrible cough, and none of my prescriptions seemed to help." "Well, he seems to be fine now." "Sure he does. I gave him a box of laxatives. Now he won't dare cough!"

A man from Texas was spending his summer vacation in the Vermont hills. In the middle of his first night, four chickens roosting in a tree outside his window were disturbed by a fox and flew into his room. Half asleep, the guest batted wildly with a pillow until the fowls found their way out. The next morning, he declared enthusiastically, "Had a swell sleep. Think I'll spend all my vacations here. Saw only four mosquitoes all night, and they were just little ones."
