NEW YORK — A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected a last-minute bid by Donald Trump to halt his hush money criminal trial over defense complaints that jury selection was unfairly rushed. Justice Marsha Michael issued the ruling just minutes after a brief hearing. The arguments in the mid-level appeals court came hours […]
A twelve-person jury has been seated in the first criminal trial against former President Donald Trump. One alternative juror was selected and another six alternative jurors may be selected today. It was originally reported that jury selection might take up to two weeks but it looks like it will be finished after four days in […]
The fondest wish of Judge Juan Merchan is coming true. By the end of Friday, he should have the jury that will meet his deadline and begin hearing testimony on Monday in the bookkeeping trial of former President Donald Trump. But will the trial be fair? That’s not a […]
Leftists have developed an uncanny ability to twist words until all their meaning is wrung out. For example, they throw around the word “tolerance” in the hopes of convincing unsuspecting souls that it is synonymous with mercy. It’s not. Mercy does not tolerate sin.

Whenever leftist media personalities have been faced with the overwhelming truth of this particular election cycle — that formerly Democrat minority voters have jumped ship to Donald Trump in record numbers — the resulting meltdowns have been truly epic.

Four men and three women have so far been selected to hear the trial of former President Donald Trump for bookkeeping misdemeanors that have been transmogrified into an election year spectacle meant to help Joe Biden win the 2024 election. The judge demands that the other eleven jurors are […]
Donald Trump left the courtroom when his trial adjourned for the day on Tuesday and visited the co-owner of a bodega in Harlem. It was a perfect campaign opportunity and a sharp jab in the eye to Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg. Did he buy a lottery ticket or perhaps some snacks? Who knows? When Trump […]
Earlier today, I looked at some recent polling showing that many Americans aren’t all that impressed with the criminal trials that Donald Trump is facing and how they are being handled. Whether or not they impact his day-to-day approval numbers probably doesn’t matter all that much. But what about the long view as we move […]
Top O’ the Briefing Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is off doing some light stretching and soul searching today. At first glance, it would seem like Democrats don’t have much to be excited about these days. OK, that’s only if you’re glancing […]
