Trump Arrest Likely Next Week, Law Enforcement Preps for N.Y. Court Appearance

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump will reportedly be arrested as soon as next week on charges brought by avid headhunter Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, stemming from an alleged bribery scheme and hush money paid to pornstar Stormy Daniels. 

“We are learning that the Manhattan DA office has asked for a meeting with law enforcement ahead of a potential Trump indictment,” Fox News reported Friday. “The meeting … is to discuss logistics for some time next week which would mean they are anticipating an indictment next week.” 

The George Soros-financed Bragg has made a career pursuing Trump, elevating the charges in the alleged hush-money case that has been ongoing upwards of four years from a misdemeanor to a felony, and an indictment of Trump would mark a major escalation of weaponizing politics against the former president.

Trump pushed back hard, declaring, “They’re not coming after me. They’re coming after you. I’m just standing in their way, and I always will stand in their way!”

Sources told Fox News that security preparations in and around the courthouse in lower Manhattan are already underway in preparation for an arrest next week.

“Secret Service will take the lead in what they will allow or will not allow,” Fox News reported, for example, “The decision to handcuff the president, the former president, or not. They will set the tone and will escort him into the courtroom.”

Trump is expected to be “fingerprinted and processed like every other defendant.”

Officials said that plans were “precautionary in nature because no charges have been filed,” according to NBC News, which reported that “agencies involved include the NYPD, New York State Court Officers, the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.”

With news that Bragg was about to pull the trigger on arresting the former president, Trump’s lawyer on Friday told the New York Daily News that Trump would not refuse to surrender if an indictment is issued.

“There won’t be a standoff at Mar-a-Lago with Secret Service and the Manhattan DA’s office,” Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said.

Trump has vehemently denied all charges and blasted what he called “election interference into the politics of a failing nation” by Bragg and his Democrat cronies.

“From Russia, Russia, Russia, to the Mueller Hoax, to Impeachment Hoaxes 1 and 2, and even the Unlawful Mar-a-Lago Raid, Democrats have investigated and attacked President Trump since before he was elected – and they’ve failed every time,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.

“Now Democrats are at it again, pushing the ‘Nuclear Button’ and attacking a President because of a disgraced extortionist,” Cheung said. “This is happening because President Trump is leading in the polls by a large margin against both Democrats and Republicans, and there’s never been anything so blatant in American political history.”

CCP Firm Sent $3M to Biden Family Associates

CCP Firm Sent $3M to Biden Family Associates

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Hong Kong company that gave more than $3 million to Biden family associates in 2017 is reportedly connected to the Chinese Communist Party.

A House Oversight Committee memorandum revealed on Thursday that just months after Joe Biden stopped being the vice president of the United States in the Obama administration — in March 2017 — State Energy HK Limited wired $3 million to Robinson Walker, LLC, run by “Biden family associate” John Robinson Walker.

At the time of the money transfer, the chairman and executive director of State Energy Group International Assets Holdings Limited, then a direct subsidiary of State Energy HK Limited with close personnel ties, was Ren Qingxin, who was a CCP representative at a business organization. According to a Chinese government website, Qingxin was succeeded by Lei Donghui, who joined the CCP in July 2002.

According to the memorandum, after receiving $3 million, Robinson Walker, LLC distributed $1,065,692 in “incremental payments over a period of approximately three months” to as many as four Biden family members.

Robinson Walker, LLC transferred these funds to Hallie Biden, James Brian Biden Sr. [James Biden], Robert Hunter Biden [Hunter Biden] and an “unknown bank account identified as ‘Biden,’” which probably belongs to Joe Biden, the Daily Caller reported.

As reported by the committee, even though some of the transfers from Robinson Walker, LLC were sent directly to Biden family members, the company was also sending money to “their companies,” including Owasco PC, JBBSR Inc and RSTP II, LLC.

The committee determined that, in total, approximately one-third of State Energy HK Limited’s $3 million transfer went to Biden family members.

On March 2, 2017, Robinson Walker, LLC sent another $1,065,000 from the CCP company’s $3 million transfer to the European Energy and Infrastructure Group [EEIG] in Abu Dhabi. According to the memorandum, EEIG is a self-styled “advisory organization.” The committee also noted that James Gilliar, a “business partner of Hunter Biden,” is “associated” with EEIG.

“I have bad news for the White House,” tweeted House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. “This is just the beginning for  @GOPoversight.”

Comer wrote that “The Biden family clearly received money from individuals connected to our foreign adversaries,” and claimed that Biden “has not been telling Americans the full truth.”

“What was China buying?” Comer asked.

DeSantis Calls for Accountability on COVID Anniversary

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis held a press conference to call for accountability for disastrous and deadly COVID policies on the three-year anniversary of “15 days to slow the spread,” on Thursday.

DeSantis noted that we were three years out from the promise that the virus could be contained in 15 days, if all would simply submit to the authoritarian demands of the COVID schoolmarms.

He then pointed out that the experts were wrong, according to Breitbart News.

“It’s just important to say the experts that designed these policies … you know, they were wrong about almost everything,” he said. “They were wrong about forced masking. The CDC at one point said if you wear masks, COVID would end in six weeks. … They said that and that was not true.”

The experts were wrong about more than masks.

“They were wrong to deny the existence of natural immunity,” he said. “That’s just a fact of life when you recover from something like that, you do get protection, and they said no on natural immunity for a long time.”

DeSantis argued that the experts lied about the time they intended to lock down the population.

They “never intended just 15 days,” he said. “That was just, basically, marketing to try to get people to buy in initially. The plan was always, I think, to have it longer.”

DeSantis argued that these lies were manipulative.

“I think every step of the way, they would always try to do things to condition your behavior, control your behavior. I think it’s just better policy to just tell it like it is. Give people the information, the best information you have, give it to them, give them the facts, and then let them make the best decisions for themselves and for their families,” DeSantis said.

The popular governor demanded accountability and also the truth for what unfolded during the pandemic and the public hardship that failed policies produced.

“We need accountability,” DeSantis said. “We need to know everything about the lab leak. We need to know about the role of Dr. Fauci in all of this to make sure that he is held accountable.”

Cancel Cult Goes after ‘Trad Wives’ for Romanticizing ‘Sexism,’ ‘Racism’

Cancel Cult Goes after ‘Trad Wives’ for Romanticizing ‘Sexism,’ ‘Racism’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A relatively new trend that has taken TikTok by storm and showcases women who have had the audacity to embrace the role of homemakers, so-called  traditional (trad) wives, has sent the leftist establishment into a frenzy.

These trad wives became viral on TikTok, showing the life of woman who “prefers to take a traditional or ultra-traditional role in marriage, including the beliefs that a woman’s place is in the home,” said TikToker Estee Williams.

The Left exploded in hysterics and alarm, according to the New York Post.

“The new trend for submissive women has a dark heart and history,” one headline from The Guardian read.

Hypebae also published an article, in which the author claimed that the TikTok videos were “disturbing,”

“[They] typically feature cis straight white women, longing for the ’50s – an era where some women could opt out of participating in the corporate working world and be stay-at-home mothers instead.”

Grazia magazine went as far as to accuse the trend of “romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled.”

The backlash was misguided, Williams said.

“It doesn’t mean that we are trying to take away what women fought for. There are a lot of people trying to make this a sinister thing or put some other, darker meaning behind the term ‘trad wife.’ Nobody is doing that,” Williams said in a September TikTok video.

“No trad wife TikToker is saying every woman’s place is in their home. We, as individuals are just choosing to be homemakers. That’s all.”

She also added that being a trad wife is not a movement but rather a lifestyle that shows that women are not less important than their husbands because they submit to them but rather complementary to them.

The trad wife videos show women baking, sweeping floors and trying on mid-century-style dresses as they talk about how they were finally liberated from the tight grip of one of communism’s children, feminism. Some of these women mention the Bible to point out that, from the biblical perspective, a woman is supposed to be a homemaker.

Some women, like TikToker Madison Dastrup, decided to not pursue this lifestyle, citing white supremacy.

“… the extremists within the trad wife community really just started taking over the entire community as a whole, condoning white supremacy.”

MSM Remains Silent, Uncurious over Fetterman’s Disappearance

MSM Remains Silent, Uncurious over Fetterman’s Disappearance

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) Despite Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., having been institutionalized for clinical depression and largely stashed from public view for upwards of a month, the mainstream media has been doggedly silent on the lawmaker’s mysterious status.

While campaigning for Pennsylvania’s senatorial seat, there was deserved skepticism from Republicans about Fetterman’s fitness for office. In response, a Biden regime-friendly media waged an aggressive campaign to downplay Fetterman’s health issues. Instead of pressing for details on Fetterman’s suspect medical history, fake news media took jabs at Republicans like Mehmet Oz raising entirely legitimate concerns.

The gaslighting has continued at a fevered pace. John Heilman, a Morning Joe regular, insisted that Fetterman’s health concerns were an advantage to the Senate race. CNN’s Michael Smerconish described him as a “mental health role model.” At the same time, MSNBC’s Alicia Menedez compared him with Abraham Lincoln, as he also had mental health concerns.

After reporting Fetterman’s health concerns as an unexpected development, Fox News reported that neither CNN nor MSNBC had questioned his fitness to remain in office, even after he had been hospitalized for more than a month. 

Curtis Houc, kmanaging editor at NewsBusters, spoke to Fox News Digital as someone who struggles with mental health concerns. 

“The media are wholly capable of doing two things at once in putting the spotlight on mental health and how the stresses of work and campaigning can wear someone down,” Houck noted. 

“As someone who’s struggled with their mental health over the years, the question should be asked about how the senator got into this position,” he said. “It’s not pointing fingers at any individual, but a collective effort of where things broke down by his team and a press that, aside from NBC’s Dasha Burns, breathlessly worked to get him in office.”

Jeffrey McCall, a journalism professor at DePauw University, added, “It is reasonable to ask if Senator Fetterman can ever resume his duties, and if so, at what magnitude. It is not mean-spirited, unprofessional or intrusive to raise this issue.”

McCall also criticized Fetterman’s enablers for contributing to the problem. 

“Fetterman was largely protected by the media during the campaign last fall, but it will be irresponsible if the news media thinks it should continue to protect Fetterman from questions about his health and fitness for duty over the six years of a senate term,” the professor said.

Federal Reserve Moves Towards Centralized Digital Currency

Federal Reserve Moves Towards Centralized Digital Currency

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday the impending launch of a pilot program that observers say resembles the controversial central bank digital currency (CBDC) system—something that would lead to vaccine passports, social credit scores and other dystopian social technologies, Zero Hedge reported.

The “FedNow Service” will start operating in July, enabling financial institutions to offer “instant payment services,” the Federal Reserve said in a statement.

“Through financial institutions participating in the FedNow Service, businesses and individuals will be able to send and receive instant payments at any time of day, and recipients will have full access to funds immediately, giving them greater flexibility to manage their money and make time-sensitive payments,” it said.

The Fed said early adopters of this system include a “diverse mix of financial institutions of all sizes, the largest processors, and the U.S. Treasury.”

The U.S. central bank has touted the program as a way to improve the financial system, but critics warn that it will allow government to exercise more overreach and invasion of citizens’ private lives.

“While instant, 24/7 payments seems good, there’s implications to leaning into credit-based system,” said Jordan Schachtel, publisher of The Dossier.

“FedNow can quickly transform to a surveillance system,” he continued. “Does FedNow have AI or human circuit breaker managing it? FedNow is a giant red flag.”

Some Republicans have moved to block a centralized digital currency. A group of 10 representatives—led by Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn.—last month introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act.

It aims to halt efforts of unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., from issuing a central bank digital currency that strips Americans of their right to financial privacy.

“The federal government cannot and does not have the authority to issue a CBDC directly to individuals without explicit Congressional approval,” said Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., a cosponsor of the bill.

“The Chinese Communist Party’s move to use government-run digital currency to impose further control on its people and its economy is a cautionary tale that America must avoid,” added another co-sponsor, Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb.

“The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act is a key step towards ensuring that Americans maintain their financial freedom by prohibiting a centrally controlled digital currency as our economy continues to innovate in the area of digital assets,” he added.

Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn—the man considered by former President Barack Obama to be one of the biggest threats to the global world-order—warned in an interview with conservative radio icon Alex Jones that the recent banking system volatility could be designed to push Americans into a centralized system.

“If the American people suddenly go on a bank run, then this government is gonna turn around and say, ‘See everybody’s afraid; we have to transition,’” Flynn said in the interview for Jones’s InfoWars broadcast.

Don Lemon Says He Scolds Friends Who Use The Term ‘Woke’

(Headline USA) CNN’s Don Lemon said on Friday that he scolds his friends if they use the term “woke” to describe leftist ideologies.

During a panel discussion on CNN’s new morning show, Lemon claimed no one knows how to define the word “woke.”

“The hottest fight in the American culture wars right now is over wokeness,” he said, noting that Republican politicians and media figures blame wokeness for everything from censorship to bank failures.

“What exactly does it mean to be woke?” he asked.

Lemon cited Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who said it’s an ideology that defines people by their immutable characteristics, such as skin color, rather than by their potential.

However, the network’s former prime-time host dismissed that definition. 

“It’s not about defining people for a characteristic,” he claimed.

“It is being aware. It is about being aware of issues that have to do with minorities, destruction of the country, issues that have to do with women. Issues that have to do with any marginalized community,” he continued. “That’s what it is—not defining people. It’s being aware of the structural injustices in our society and trying to be better, not trying to cancel people.”

Lemon’s definition nonetheless fit with that of many conservatives, that wokeness denotes an obsessive preoccupation with identity politics and race.

However, Lemon then claimed people would be better off if they just stopped using the term altogether.

“I always tell my friends who, you know, use ‘woke.’ I’m like, don’t use that word. You know, there are certain words, like, it’s not a good look,” Lemon said.

Lemon went on to claim that the term “woke” is a bad one because it has been “co-opted by conservatives and people running for office.”

CNN’s panelists then played a viral clip in which conservative author Bethany Mandel freezes up when asked to define the word “woke.”

After the clip, Lemon and CNN contributor Alyssa Farah Griffin, who co-hosts “The View,” laughed out loud at Mandel.

“You lose your train of thought, you know, someone tries to help you out, usually in the moment, but it happens. But it’s been. That was a tough moment,” Lemon said.

The comments essentially parroted other leftist radicals, including activist Touré Neblett, who has desperately tried to make the word verboten as leftist find growing backlash against their ambitious social-engineering efforts.

Hunter Biden Claims Victimhood in Leak of ‘Laptop from Hell’

Hunter Biden Claims Victimhood in Leak of ‘Laptop from Hell’

(Headline USA) Hunter Biden filed a countersuit against the Delaware computer-repair-shop owner who handled his abandoned laptop, claiming his private information was improperly obtained and disseminated.

The suit comes in response to a 2019 defamation suit against the president’s son filed by John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of the computer repair shop.

Biden’s response alleges Mac Isaac illegally released his laptop to conservatives such as Rudy Giuliani—-at the time serving as a private legal advisor to then-President Donald Trump—without his consent.

The suit asks for six counts to be raised against Mac Isaac:

  • invasion of privacy by intrusion
  • invasion of privacy by publication of private facts/matters
  • conspiracy to invade privacy by intrusion
  • conspiracy to invade privacy by publication of private facts/matters
  • aiding and abetting an invasion of privacy by intrusion
  • aiding and abetting intrusion of privacy by publication of private facts/matters

Biden is seeking a trial by jury. He cites a Delaware law that says abandoned property cannot be considered another person’s property until a period of one year. The law also holds that the courts must decide who is the proper owner.

“Contrary to Mac Isaac’s Repair Authorization form, Delaware law provides that tangible personal property is deemed abandoned when ‘the rightful owner has left in the care or custody of another person and has failed to maintain, pay for the storage of, exercise dominion or control over, and has failed to otherwise assert or declare the ownership rights to the property for a period of 1 year,'” Biden’s countersuit reads.

“The procedure to obtain lawful title to abandoned personal property requires the person in possession of the property to file a petition in a court of competent jurisdiction,” it continues. “Other obligations must then also be satisfied before obtaining lawful title, such as the court sending notice to the owner and the petitioner posting notice in five or more public places, and advertising the petition in a newspaper.”

 Biden also argues that the only form he signed was one turning over his equipment—not his data.

“In fact, the Repair Authorization form states that the Mac Shop will make every effort to ‘secure your data…'” the suit says.

“Customers who sign Mac Isaac’s Repair Authorization form do not, therefore, waive any rights under Delaware law for the data that any equipment might contain,” it says. “Reputable computer companies and repair people routinely delete personal data contained on devices that are exchanged, left behind, or abandoned. They do not open, copy, and then provide that data to others, as Mac Isaac did here.”

The hard drive, which Mac Isaac handed over to the FBI also, implicates Biden in several serious crimes—including felony drug use, possession of an illegal firearm, solicitation of prostitutes and child pornography.

It also offered tangible evidence to confirm the Biden family’s corrupt influence-peddling deals with foreign nations including Ukraine and China.

According to the New York Post, which first broke the laptop story, 79% of poll respondents said that truthful reporting about the laptop prior to the 2020 election would have impacted the final outcome.

Kamala Greeted By Boos at March Madness Game

(Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris was greeted by a chorus of boos from March Madness fans at her alma mater, Howard University.

Harris and her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, attended the first-round game at Howard University on Thursday. When they were introduced over the loud speaker, the crowd’s boos could be heard clearly above any applause.

Howard University went on to lose the game to the University of Kansas, 96-68.

After the embarrassing loss, Harris and Emhoff went down to the locker room to meet with Howard’s players.

“You guys are so good, you guys are so good,” Harris said as she met the team. “You played hard, you played to the very last second, you made all us Bisons so, so proud.”

“You are smart. You are disciplined. You put everything you had into the game,” Harris said. “And you know that’s what it’s about, right. Until the last minute, you guys did that, you didn’t stop until the last second, you did not stop, and that is so inspiring. So you keep playing with chin up and shoulders back because you showed the world who Bison are.”

The vice president then offered the players a tour of the White House when they are in Washington, D.C.

“You make us so proud, so I know you might not be feeling great right now, OK, but know who you are: You are excellence, you are hard work, you are powerful and you are winners,” she said.

Unsurprisingly, Harris also used the game as a political opportunity to push for increased funding of historically black colleges, like Howard.

“These sports programs need to be well resourced because when you look at the coaches like the coaches on the two teams that are here, they are investing in these students as a whole person, so yes it is about helping them be their best and most talented on the court. But, also off the court,” she said.

YouTube Reinstates Trump’s Account

(Headline USA) YouTube reinstated former President Donald Trump’s account on Friday, allowing him to return to the platform, upload new content and buy ads for his 2024 presidential campaign.

“Starting today, The Donald J. Trump channel is no longer restricted and the ability to upload new content is restored,”  said Leslie Miller, YouTube’s vice president for Public Policy. 

Trump has been banned from most social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, since the Jan. 6 Capitol uprising. Twitter, however, restored Trump’s account after Elon Musk took over the company, and Facebook has said it is considering giving him his account back as well. 

YouTube said its decision to reinstate Trump came after an in-depth evaluation of the “continued risk of real-world violence” Trump could cause.

“We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, balancing that with the importance of preserving the opportunity for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election,” Miller explained. “This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube.”

It is unclear, however, whether Trump will make use of his YouTube account again. He has not yet returned to Twitter either, though members of his team have reportedly said that plans for his public return are in the works.

“Trump is probably coming back to Twitter. It’s just a question of how and when,” a source familiar with Trump’s thinking told NBC News. “He’s been talking about it for weeks, but Trump speaks for Trump, so it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll do or say or when.”

Earlier this year, Trump’s campaign petitioned Meta, Facebook’s parent company, to unblock his account.

“We believe that the ban on President Trump’s account on Facebook has dramatically distorted and inhibited the public discourse,” Trump’s team wrote, adding that the former president would be happy to host a “meeting to discuss President Trump’s prompt reinstatement to the platform.”
