A lawyer for George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot teen Trayvon
Martin in Florida in 2012 and was acquitted of all charges, has sued
Democrat presidential hopefuls Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren.
The claim alleges the two "maliciously defamed" Zimmerman, using
Martin's death "as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as
a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers."
Lawyer Larry Klayman filed the action in Circuit Court for the 10th Judicial Circuit in Polk County, Florida.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) released a video on Tuesday
that denounces Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) legislation to ban fracking, which Breitbart News
has obtained exclusively. Cruz contends in the video that banning
fracking would devastate the American economy.
Cruz released
the video after Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), and
Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL) introduced legislation that would ban fracking
nationwide.
“We are currently experiencing an American energy renaissance with
the United States having now become the number one producer of oil and
the number one producer of natural gas on the planet,” Cruz says in the
video.
During Tuesday’s “Fox & Friends,” Fox News legal analyst Andrew
Napolitano commented on an interim U.S. attorney reportedly being
“strong-armed” into recommending giving President Donald Trump confidant
Roger Stone a hefty sentence for his criminal charges.
Napolitano said it is “pretty obvious” Stone should get a new trial,
adding that “almost any judge in the country” would order one, but he is
not sure Judge Amy Berman Jackson will.
“I don’t know where this is going to end, he’s scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday,” Napolitano said of the case.
Co-host Pete Hegseth stated, “So, you think a new trial is likely or could come out of this?”
Napolitano replied, “Pete, I think almost any judge in the country
would order a new trial. I’m not so sure about Judge Jackson. I don’t
know.”
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia - Speaking to reporters during
a joint press conference with Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedu
Andargachew Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded to reporting that a number of Democrat Senators secretly met with Iranian Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference.
“I
have seen that piece about some senators meeting with Foreign Minister
Zarif. This guy is designated by the United States of America. He’s the
foreign minister for a country that shot down a commercial airliner and
has yet to turn over the black boxes. This is the foreign minister of a
country that killed an American on December 27. And it’s the foreign
minister of a country who is the largest world sponsor of terror and the
world’s largest sponsor of anti-Semitism,” Pompeo said. “If they met, I
don’t know what they said. I hope they were reinforcing America’s
foreign policy and not their own."
Harrison believed that the presidency should be limited to one term in order to curb the potential for executive abuse.
Who was the greatest president in American history? Ask this question
to a group of people who are cynical of the imperial presidency and at
least one person will answer William Henry Harrison, the man who died
one month after taking office.
Who could be better than a president who impacted the office in such a
minimal way and who had little time to destroy the Constitution?
This response is designed to draw a few laughs, but is there some actual merit to the idea that Harrison was a great president?
A wide-ranging group of writers from ideologically diverse
backgrounds has come together to challenge leftist assertions in the New
York Times’s 1619 Project that the United States was built on slavery.
In response, the educational series 1776 was recently launched by the Woodson Center under the guidance of longtime activist and scholar Robert Woodson.
The Woodson Center was founded
in 1981 to raise awareness and funding for neighborhoods seeking to
solve critical community problems through innovative initiatives. Robert
Woodson began 1776 as a direct response to the misguided and harmful
history put forth by the Times.
Woodson described the 1619 Project as a “lethal” narrative
that perpetuates a culture of victimhood in the African American
community by claiming that life for blacks in America has been
predetermined by slavery and Jim Crow.
Attorney General William Barr is looking into the murky origins of
the politically charged Justice Department investigations that have
roiled American public life for the last three years.
Just how did the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation
into the 2016 Trump presidential campaign get started? What led the FBI
to look into whether President Trump was working on behalf of Russia?
Why did the Justice Department use an ancient, never-enforced law as a
pretext to interrogate then-national security adviser Michael Flynn,
leading to one of the most troubling court cases in recent years? And
more.
Each investigation involved highly publicized leaks that
led to many headlines and endless discussion on cable TV. Anti-Trump
voices stood firmly in support of more and more detailed inquiries of
the president and his allies.
The moral of the story: You can be an Army officer who leaks classified
information and undermines the Commander in Chief as long as you shout
orange man bad loud enough.
Alexander Vindman was one of the more grating characters that tried
to make a name for himself during Trump’s impeachment. An Army officer,
he shamelessly shouted about his “patriotism” in an attempt insulate
himself from all criticism.
Of course, the media (including some
in conservative circles) played along, pronouncing it absolutely off
limits to question Vindman’s reasoning and motives. You may have
noticed, but there’s a clown nose on, clown nose off routine when it
comes to the military and Trump opponents. If it’s Michael Flynn, you
can trash him relentlessly as a Russian asset despite his decorated
career of service. But if a military member speaks against Trump, they
immediately gain protective status and it becomes “gross” to suggest
they could be political.
Vietnam has quarantined a community of 10,000 people near the capital,
Hanoi, for 20 days because of fears the coronavirus could spread there,
two local officials told Reuters on Thursday.
The rural commune of Son Loi, in the northern Vietnameseprovince of
Vinh Phuc, 44 km (27 miles) from Hanoi, is home toll of the 16
coronavirus cases in the Southeast Asian country,including a
three-month-old baby.
“Over 10,000 residents of the commune will
not be permitted to leave for the next 20 days, starting from today,”
the second of the two the officials told Reuters on Thursday.
“As
of this evening, we will still allow those who wish to return home to
enter but, in the next few days, this place will be totally be sealed,”
the official told Reuters by phone.
Just weeks after President Donald Trump was acquitted by the Senate
of bogus partisan impeachment charges by the House of Representatives, a
group of federal judges will hold an ’emergency meeting’ on Tuesday.
The judges will meet to discuss the intervention by Attorney General
William Barr against the abusive proposed sentence for Roger Stone and
the criticism by President Trump of the proposed sentence and the
federal judge overseeing the case, Judge Amy Berman Jackson, as well as
other actions by Barr and Trump regarding ‘politically sensitive’ cases
before the judiciary.
President Trump issued a series of tweets Tuesday morning making the
case for complete dismissal of the entire Roger Stone case — and worked
in an all-caps threat about potential lawsuits in the process.
Trump’s
social media posts come amid chaos with the Stone case that started
last week when the four federal prosecutors working to get Stone behind
bars all walked away from the case after they were strongly rebuked by
the Department of Justice for leveling an “exorbitant and unwarranted”
sentencing recommendation of seven to nine years in prison. The overly
punitive sentencing, Stone’s defenders argue, are particularly egregious
because his charges are simply process crimes stemming from an
investigation into a Robert Mueller-debunked theory that the Trump
campaign was “colluding” with Russia.
The church is of neo-Gothic style and is considered the greatest work of its kind in Mexico. Its construction began on August 15, 1897 and ended 75 years later in 1972. ( Walk by it most everyday.)
