The Closing Argument Today: Why Trump Is Legally Innocent.  

Introduction: Top 10 Headlines

  • Trump to be arraigned today, without mug shot, jail visit or booking. Trump added new counsel, a corporate-type defense lawyer.
  • Polls show Trump surging to massive lead in primaries.
  • Wisconsin voters go to polls to decide fate of Wisconsin Supreme Court, with Democrat-aligned candidate as heavy favorite.
  • Texas medical board targets dissident doctors.
  • Twitter bird is gone, replaced by the Doge symbol.
  • Bombings of Russian cafes targeting bloggers celebrated by Oscar-winning Ukraine war supporters. A reminder as to who is likely culprit.
  • Replacing the $ is akin to replacing English: it requires mass adoption to work, and little sign such massive public adoption is happening.
  • ISM data shows manufacturing in recession.
  • OPEC cuts production.
  • Real construction spending declines again as consumer sentiment shows recession incoming.

Wisdom of the Day: "“Arbitrary governing hath no alliance with God.”

The more these jurors…

You all know my position on the Lindsay Clancy case.

But the more these jurors talk, the more they convince me I might have been wrong…

The way this juror explains how the holdout juror could not get past the elements of premeditation…

The way she explains the premeditation. And then just jumps to her forgo conclusion “psychosis”.

these jurors, speaking out are doing immense damage, both to Reddington’s appeal, and to any future retrial.

It just keeps getting better!

The lone holdout juror is a black man.

The liberal white women who tried to lecture him and shame him into acquiescing literally knew better than him.

They called him “arrogant” - even though they seemed to love the arrogance of Kevin Reddington, a white man. I guess some arrogance is better than others… 😂

Holy heck, for people who revel in identity politics, they certainly fit the most awful stereotypes of white liberals.
