Charlamagne Tha God Calls for Dismissal of Trump’s New York Fraud Case.


Radio host and comedian Charlamagne the God says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan should acknowledge reality and dismiss the fraud verdict against President-elect Donald J. Trump. Speaking on his radio show on Wednesday, Charlamagne pushed back against Bragg’s assertion that the sentencing in the case should merely be postponed during Trump’s tenure in the White House.

“New York City, just throw the whole thing away, alright? Cut it out. Who are we fooling? Who are we fooling? Nothing’s going to happen to Trump, and nobody wants that retribution that he may deliver hanging over their head. Just—he won the election. It is what it is,” the radio host and entertainer said. “Cut ties, sever your losses, throw the whole case away. Come on. Who are we fooling, y’all? Who are you fooling, like seriously?”

“And if you push it back for four years, that might give him more reason to stay, OK? … He is the same person who told his voting base, ‘Just vote one more time, you’ll never have to vote again.’ All right, wink wink. OK? Come on,” he added.

In a court filing yesterday, Bragg indicated his office would prefer to proceed with sentencing or adjourn the case until after Trump leaves the presidency in four years. Judge Merchan appears open to the adjournment and has set a hearing on the matter for next week.

Meanwhile, also on Wednesday, attorneys for President-elect Trump filed a letter asking that they have until December 20 to file a motion to dismiss. The letter argues that the Constitution, the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, and the interests of a smooth presidential transition require the verdict to be thrown out.

Senators Voting on RFK Jr. Have Received MILLIONS from Big Pharma.




Several senators set to grill Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his potential appointment to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have received substantial donations from Big Pharma. The Senate Finance Committee will first assess Kennedy’s nomination. Between 2019 and 2024, contributions from the pharmaceutical industry to senators on this committee amounted to over $6.7 million.

Republican senators received the majority of these funds. Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina received more than $679,000, Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana with $667,000, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina with $564,000.


Among Democrats, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada was the top recipient, with nearly $460,000.

Financial influences do not automatically mean bias. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson collected over $124,000 from the pharmaceutical sector. However, he has been outspoken in his criticism of the industry.

Should the Senate committee confirm Kennedy, he would manage a department that oversees federal health insurance programs and regulatory bodies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which are crucial for food and drug regulation.

Kennedy takes a critical stance on the pharmaceutical industry and adulterants in food, and could be a catalyst for major nutritional changes and investigations.

Along with vaccine skepticism, Kennedy calls for policies and measures to Make America Healthy Again, including tackling the country’s chronic disease crisis. He has the support of former CDC Director Robert Redfield, who believes that Kennedy was right to criticize the relationship between health agencies and Big Pharma companies.

Following the announcement of RFK Jr. as potential HHS head, vaccine manufacturer stocks declined.

State Lawmakers Override Democrat Governor’s Veto Of Immigration Bill

 Republican lawmakers in the North Carolina House voted to override Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of an immigration bill requiring sheriffs to cooperate with federal authorities when arresting illegal immigrants.

“The HB 10 veto override passed 72-44 in the House,” ABC 11 reports.

The legislation advances to the North Carolina Senate for consideration.

HB 10 also expands the school voucher program.

The bill passed mostly along party lines, with Democratic Rep. Carla Cunningham joining Republicans.

“We must adopt a common sense approach to public safety, ensuring that federal and local agencies work together to safeguard our communities,” Cunningham said, according to Blue Ridge Public Radio.

ABC 11 reports:

It would also require sheriffs in North Carolina to follow new protocols should they learn someone they’ve arrested is in the country illegally. Sheriffs — once a court order has been issued – would be mandated to keep those undocumented people in custody until federal agents from ICE can step in.

It’s a law that advocates say will devastate North Carolina’s immigrant communities. A vigil was held outside the state legislature to protest HB10.

“We saw it in the past. We saw it here, ICE coming to take people from our community with really not the right way to do it. So, yeah, we are very concerned about that,” Pilar Rocha-Goldberg, CEO of El Centro Hispano, said.

The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association however supports the latest version of HB10, saying: “The Association appreciates the legislature for its willingness not to impose onerous recordkeeping requirements on our state’s 100 sheriffs; and not to interject the Attorney General into these judicial matters.”

Per Blue Ridge Public Radio:

Democratic Rep. Abe Jones, of Wake County, spoke against the bill.

“Are we going to send the sheriffs any extra money to enforce these ICE laws for the federal government, or are we trying to be good guys?” Jones asked.

Some immigrant advocates worry the bill will aid President-elect Trump’s promise for mass deportations.

The North Carolina Senate is scheduled to vote on HB10 Wednesday.

It also includes around $6.5 billion in state funding for private school vouchers over the next decade.

Speaker Mike Johnson Announces Official Bathroom Rules for Capitol: 'Women Deserve Women's Only Spaces'



Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, right, announced Wednesday the women’s bathrooms at the Capitol are reserved for biological females only, following the election of transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, left. 

A Congressional first is forcing Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to set some ground rules about bathroom use.

On Wednesday, Johnson announced that women — and only women — would be allowed to use female facilities at the U.S. Capitol.

“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson’s missive read.

The speaker continued: “It’s important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.”

And to hammer his point home, Johnson added: “Women deserve women’s only spaces.”

Johnson’s Wednesday message comes on the heels of heightened tension in Congress, following the election of transgender Rep.-elect Sarah McBride of Delaware — who was born Tim McBride.

McBride, the first transgender U.S. representative in history, immediately drew the ire of South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace, who immediately brought forth resolution regarding bathroom usage shortly after McBride’s win.

“McBride, a biological male, does not get a say in women’s private spaces,” Mace posted to X on Monday.

“Sarah McBride doesn’t get a say. I mean, this is a biological man,” Mace told reporters on Monday, according to CNN.

Mace added that McBride “does not belong in women’s spaces, women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, period, full stop.”

The topic of transgenderism was a hot-button issue leading up to the resounding Nov. 5 victory of President-elect Donald Trump.

While failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris generally tried to avoid the topic, the far-left issue of transgenderism was inextricably linked to the Democrats.

In fact, one of the most effective ads that Trump capitalized on was a rather simple moniker:

“Kamala is for they/them,” the straightforward attack ad went, before adding, “President Trump is for you.”

Texas plans to expand Rio Grande buoy border wall in anticipation of migrant surge before Trump takes office

 Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to expand a floating border barrier in anticipation of a migrant surge ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, according to a report. 

Lone Star State officials are reportedly surveying parts of the Rio Grande near Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, and more bright-orange buoys could go up as soon as Wednesday, according to NewsNation

The outlet reports that the Texas Department of Public Safety has been prepping for an increase in illegal border-crossing from migrants fearful of a crackdown once Trump, 78, returns to the White House in January. 

The buoy barrier was installed in the Rio Grande, near Eagle Pass, Texas, last year.

The president-elect has vowed to undertake the largest deportation operation in US history when he assumes office. 

Trump is also expected to reimpose several measures aimed at curbing illegal border-crossings, such as the “Remain in Mexico” policy which during the 45th president’s first term required asylum seekers to wait for their immigration hearings south of the border.

Abbott, 67, ordered the construction of a 1,000-foot-long section of interconnected 4-foot-wide sphere buoys – that spin when grabbed – in the dangerous river dividing Texas and Mexico last year to deter record-levels of illegal migrant crossings. 

The buoy barrier was erected in a section of the Rio Grande known as a hot spot for human and drug smuggling. 

On Saturday, Abbott posted a video on X touting the floating marine barrier.

“The buoys reinforce our efforts to deter and repel illegal immigration,” the governor wrote. “Despite the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to remove these barriers from the river, that is exactly where they will stay.” 

The barrier is a part of Gov. Greg Abbott’s “Operation Lone Star” initiative to counter illegal immigration.
A federal court ruled in July that the floating barrier could remain in place while a broader lawsuit plays out.

Abbott’s buoy wall – as well as other measures he’s deployed to counter illegal immigration – has faced several legal challenges. 

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in July that the buoys could remain in place – striking down a lower court ruling – while a broader federal lawsuit plays out.

The Biden-Harris administration has accused Texas of violating the federal Rivers and Harbor Act by installing the barriers in navigable water without obtaining permission from the US Army Corps of Engineers. 

The water-based barrier, designed by the company Cochrane USA, cost the state nearly $1 million.
