We take a deep dive into the wild last twelve months in the world of Slipknot

The socialist Biden administration is proposing in The Budget of the United States Government Fiscal Year 2025 to raise capital gain rates to 44.6%. This is the highest formal federal capital gain rate since its inception‚ probably the highest in the Western world‚ and it will destroy business and investment. It starts as a 39.6% […] The post Biden Budget: Capital Gains of 44.6% appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on Thursday about whether former President Donald Trump can invoke presidential immunity to shield himself from federal prosecution.  The court agreed to take the case in February after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit panel ruled against an immunity claim Trump had asserted to shield himself from special counsel Jack Smith’s 2020 election case. Trump has contended that presidential immunity is necessary to ensure that presidents are able to do their jobs without fear of political retaliation.  “If a President does not have Immunity‚ the Opposing Party‚ during his/her term in Office‚ can extort and blackmail the President by saying that‚ ‘if you don’t give us everything we want‚ we will Indict you for things you did while in Office‚’ even if everything done was totally Legal and Appropriate. That would be the end of the Presidency‚ and our Country‚ as we know it‚ and is just one of the many Traps there would be for a President without Presidential Immunity‚” Trump posted on Truth Social last Friday.  “Obama‚ Bush‚ and soon‚ Crooked Joe Biden‚ would all be in BIG TROUBLE. If a President doesn’t have IMMUNITY‚ he/she will be nothing more than a ‘Ceremonial’ President‚ rarely having the courage to do what has to be done for our Country‚” the former president added. “This is not what the Founders had in mind&;#33; Protect Presidential Immunity.” The Supreme Court will hear arguments on “whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.” The former president has been blocked from attending the Supreme Court arguments because a judge has ordered that he must stay in New York for his trial over alleged payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “A president has to have immunity‚” Trump said Thursday morning outside of the courtroom for Bragg’s case. “If you don’t have immunity‚ you just have a ceremonial president.” President Trump on today’s Supreme Court arguments: “A president HAS to have immunity” pic.twitter.com/bXzBLNlbbs — RSBN 🇺🇸 (@RSBNetwork) April 25‚ 2024 Smith‚ who accused Trump of engaging in an illegal effort to challenge the outcome of the 2020 election‚ previously hoped the Supreme Court would weigh in on the issue in December‚ hoping to fast-track the case. The Supreme Court denied that effort‚ and its decision to hear the case in April will likely make it difficult for a trial to be scheduled prior to the 2024 presidential election if they rule against Trump.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Trump is represented by D. John Sauer‚ who was previously Missouri’s Solicitor General and Deputy Attorney General for special litigation in Missouri. Sauer also clerked for former conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Former U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Michael R. Dreeben‚ who was part of Smith’s team that investigated Trump over the 2020 election charges‚ will argue against Trump’s assertion of presidential immunity. Dreeben was also part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into whether Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign conspired with Russia to influence the election.

A New York appeals court moved on Thursday to overturn the 2020 rape conviction of former Miramax producer Harvey Weinstein‚ citing “egregious” rulings that allowed allegations unrelated to the charges to be introduced in testimony. The court’s 4-3 ruling came down in Weinstein’s favor‚ leaving it up to prosecutors whether or not they will try him again. “We conclude that the trial court erroneously admitted testimony of uncharged‚ alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes‚” the decision read in part. “The remedy for these egregious errors is a new trial.” “It is an abuse of judicial discretion to permit untested allegations of nothing more than bad behavior that destroys a defendant’s character but sheds no light on their credibility as related to the criminal charges lodged against them‚” the decision continued. The virtual flood of accusations against Weinstein — whose accusers included “Charmed” star Rose McGowan and others — cascaded in 2017 following a New Yorker expos&;eacute; written by Ronan Farrow. What followed was a slew of additional accusations against Weinstein‚ which sparked the #MeToo movement. Judge Madeline Singas penned a dissent on behalf of the minority‚ saying that the decision meant the court was “whitewashing the facts to conform to a he-said/she-said narrative‚” following a “disturbing trend of overturning juries’ guilty verdicts in cases involving sexual violence.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The majority’s determination perpetuates outdated notions of sexual violence and allows predators to escape accountability‚” she wrote. Weinstein will remain in prison — despite the New York conviction being overturned — because his 2022 conviction in Los Angeles still stands.

In the current political climate‚ it is no surprise that protests and demonstrations have become a common occurrence. However‚ recent reports have uncovered a disturbing plan by anti-Israel activists to not only voice their dissent‚ but also to silence opposing viewpoints and disrupt the functioning of the White House. This shocking revelation sheds light on the true intentions of these so-called &;quot;protesters&;quot; and raises serious concerns about the state of free speech in our country. According to a report‚ a group of anti-Israel protesters is planning to &;quot;shut down&;quot; the White House in an attempt to draw attention to their cause. Their alleged goal is to disrupt the functioning of the government and cause chaos‚ all under the guise of exercising their right to protest. However‚ a closer look at their tactics and agenda reveals a more sinister motive. REPORT: Anti-Israel Protesters Planning to ‘Shut Down’ the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday https://t.co/hwUzmgw5gG — LeoTerrell (@TheLeoTerrell) April 25‚ 2024 These protesters have no qualms about resorting to extreme measures in order to advance their anti-Israel stance. They have been known to use violent tactics and even incite riots in the past. Their actions not only pose a threat to public safety‚ but also demonstrate a blatant disregard for the rule of law and the peaceful exchange of ideas. Furthermore‚ this planned protest raises serious questions about the true intentions of the organizers. Is their goal truly to bring attention to their cause‚ or is it to suppress the voices of those who may have different opinions&;#63; By targeting the White House‚ the symbol of our democracy and the heart of our government‚ it is clear that their aim is not to engage in meaningful dialogue‚ but rather to stifle it. SATURDAY Join us to SHUT DOWN the White House Correspondents' Dinner and honor Palestinian journalists&;#33; 5PM 1865 Kalorama Rd NWhttps://t.co/TicR9ltcfC pic.twitter.com/vRZmTjBpdQ — CODEPINK (@codepink) April 24‚ 2024 This planned protest also sheds light on the dangerous trend of silencing opposing viewpoints in the name of political correctness. It is a disturbing reality that in today's society‚ expressing support for Israel is often met with harsh criticism and even censorship. This attempt to shut down the White House is just another example of the growing intolerance towards differing opinions‚ which undermines the very foundation of a democratic society. It is crucial to recognize that the right to protest does not give anyone the right to disrupt the functioning of our government and trample on the rights of others. As citizens‚ we must protect and defend the principles of free speech and the peaceful exchange of ideas‚ even if they may not align with our own beliefs. Allowing this protest to take place would set a dangerous precedent and give the green light for future attempts to silence dissenting voices. In conclusion‚ the planned protest to shut down the White House in the name of anti-Israel activism is not just a simple act of protest‚ but a calculated and malicious attempt to suppress opposing viewpoints and undermine the foundation of our democracy. It is our responsibility to stand up for free speech and reject any attempts to silence it. Let us not be fooled by their false cries for justice‚ but instead‚ see this planned protest for what it truly is: an attack on our fundamental rights and values.
