One by one, every single “lawfare” case against President Donald J. Trump is crumbling… The latest is the so-called “hush money” case with Judge Merchan in New York, which famously garnered 34 guilty counts against President Trump. Yes, I know many feel it was rigged, but rigged or not it was on the books and the next step was sentencing….as in, the potential for President Trump to literally find himself behind bars in a 7×7 cell. And that was supposed to happen in just a few days, until this happened completely by surprise today:  Judge Juan Merchan has delayed the September 18th sentencing until AFTER the election, moving it to November 26th. Check out the clip below about how Merchan got himself between a rock-and-a-hard place with regards to the timing of Trump’s sentencing: BREAKING: Judge Merchan DELAYS Trump Hush Money Trial sentencing to November 26 pic.twitter.com/GVI6h5G4lG — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) September 6, 2024 You can read the big, beautiful Court Order for yourself right here:     Of course it’s not all roses, Judge Merchan is keeping in place what many believe to be the HIGHLY Unconstitutional Gag Order on President Trump, violating his First Amendment rights to speak out against political persecution during a Presidential Election.  Absolutely a stunning violation of his rights: “Judge” Merchan postponed the sentencing of President Trump in the NY lawfare case to Nov 26 – BUT he’s kept the unconstitutional gag order in place so Trump cannot speak on the conflicts & corruption of the “judge” & his daughter. Elect Trump & this tyranny ends. pic.twitter.com/xe0yaUU15r — Monica Crowley (@MonicaCrowley) September 6, 2024 Many are celebrating right now, and it IS good news, but would the alternative have given President Trump one final massive boost in the race? Perhaps we should all be glad we don’t have to find out: DEAR LIBS Judge Merchan DELAYED sentencing for the Trump Hush Money trail until AFTER #Election2024 Which means… YOU LOST…AGAIN Which also means… Trump is YOUR next PRESIDENT #Trump2024 #MAGA #CantAffordKamala #BreakingNews The DOJpic.twitter.com/ZC67SiRuCd — Boca Vista (@bocavista2016) September 6, 2024 Fox News reports: Judge Juan Merchan decided to postpone former President Trump’s sentencing in New York v. Trump until after the November presidential election. Trump’s sentencing date is now scheduled for Nov. 26. The original date was set for Sept. 18. “There should be no sentencing in the Manhattan DA’s Election Interference Witch Hunt. As mandated by the United States Supreme Court, this case, along with all of the other Harris-Biden Hoaxes, should be dismissed,” Steven Cheung, Trump campaign spokesperson told Fox News Digital. Trump was found guilty in an unprecedented criminal trial on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, following a six-week trial stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s investigation.  Trump’s initial sentencing was set for July 11 — just days before the Republican National Convention, where he was set to be formally nominated as the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, but Judge Juan Merchan agreed to delay that until Sept. 18. Trump lawyers then requested his sentencing be delayed until after the November presidential election, citing “naked election-interference objectives.” Trump has appealed the verdict, after pleading not guilty to all charges. Trump attorney Todd Blanche said the verdict should be overturned based on the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity. Blanche also pointed to Merchan’s daughter’s work at Authentic Campaigns, which represents top Democratic candidates.

Merchan is being sued to release his financial disclosure forms, which may show conflict of interest in his handling of the high-profile case against the 2024 presidential candidate.

Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has also just filed an ethics complaint against Judge Merchan over a conflict of interest regarding his daughter’s work (Loren Merchan) for the Kamala Harris campaign! Per New York Post: Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) filed another ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan on Friday, accusing the acting Manhattan Supreme Court justice of a conflict of interest due to his daughter’s recent work for the Kamala Harris campaign. Stefanik asked the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct to launch “a fresh inquiry” into a $468 payment from the Harris camp to Loren Merchan’s digital political consulting and marketing firm, Authentic Campaigns. The transaction took place July 30, days after the suspension of President Biden’s re-election effort, and was “one of the very first things that Harris did upon taking over the Biden campaign infrastructure,” Stefanik said in the letter, which was first reported by NBC News. As a result, the House Republican conference chairwoman argued the judge — who had been set to sentence former President Donald Trump in his “hush money” case on Sept. 18 — must recuse himself from the case. “The Code of Conduct, specifically § 100.3(E)(1)(d)(iii), dictates that a judge must recuse from a case where a relative up to and including the sixth degree has a financial interest in the outcome of the case,” Stefanik added. “Ms. Merchan is related to Justice Merchan in the first degree.” At the end of the day, we’re going to end up right where I told you we would be when all of this started….which is, every single “lawfare” case will come to nothing and one-by-one they will be dismantled or disintegrate on their own. The final question then will be, was the damage done just as intended? Or did it backfire and actually give President Trump the ironic boost he needed to win this election? We’ll know the answer to that question in roughly 60 days.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova came out and defended a coach seen at the 2024 US Open wearing a hat from a pro-women athletic brand that’s faced accusations of being “transphobic.” In a post on Friday on X, Navratilova wrote that it is not “hate” to show support for only women in female sports, and she shared the headline from Sportskeeda that read, “New controversy at US Open as Aryna Sabalenka’s fitness coach Jason Stacy comes under fire for donning hat from pro-women brand ‘XX-XY Athletics.’” “Thank you Jason [Stacy] for supporting women’s sports- being pro women is not hate, it’s actually progressive,” the tennis legend wrote. XX-XY Athletics derives its name from the chromosomes XY for males and XX for females. The brand was founded by former Levi president Jennifer Sey. The mission statement on the company’s website reads, “Introducing the only athletic brand that stands up for women’s sports.” New controversy at US Open as Aryna Sabalenka’s fitness coach Jason Stacy comes under fire for donning hat from pro-women brand “XX-XY Athletics”- thank you Jason for supporting women’s sports- being pro women is not hate, it’s actually progressive. https://t.co/8MQxJQjLVA — Martina Navratilova (@Martina) September 6, 2024 The mission is to “protect women’s sports and spaces” and maintain “fairness” by opposing transgender-identifying males in women’s sports, the outlet noted. Former female collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines is one of the brand’s ambassadors and has been a well known advocate for only women in female sports. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

In another post on Friday on X, Navratilova reposted a post that noted the size and power of trans-identifying male volleyball player Blaire Fleming from the Iowa Hawkeyes vs. San Jose State’s women’s volleyball game. “Is it fair for these women who have worked so hard to be dominated by a mediocre male player?” the person asked. The tennis legend responded, “Not just unfair but dangerous and not sustainable. At this rate so many women athletes will be erased.” Navratilova’s stance against biological males playing in women’s sports is not new. She previously made headlines when she went viral after she took a swipe at trans-identifying males who felt is was acceptable to compete against women. “Women’s sports is not the place for mediocre male athletes who compete as women,” Navratilova wrote on X .“Period.” At the time of this publication, the post has garnered 2 million views and counting.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom killed a bill that would have allowed illegal immigrants to be eligible for a housing program where they could receive an interest-free loan worth up to $150,000 for a home purchase. On Friday, Newsom vetoed the bill proposed by Democratic Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula of Fresno that would make illegal immigrants eligible for California’s Home Purchase Assistance Program, which allows some first-time home buyers to get up to $150,000 in interest-free loans for a home down payment, CBS News reported. “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively,” Newsom said in a message addressed to members of the state Assembly after vetoing the bill. At a briefing later that day, Newsom defended his move to kill the bill, Politico reported. “The bill that was sent to me was [on] a program that had no money, and it was expanding eligibility to a program that had no money,” Newsom said. “It seemed rather curious to me,” he added. “So it was unnecessary and completely consistent with prior vetoes along those similar lines.” The bill passed 53-18 in the state Assembly and 25-14 in the Senate before heading to the governor’s desk. Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. No Republicans in the Assembly or Senate voted in favor of the proposal and argued that the bill’s passage would continue to incentivize illegal immigration and create unfair competition for American citizens struggling to buy a home, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “It’s a slap in the face to legal immigrants when we incentivize the breaking of our laws and the normalizing of being in this country unlawfully,” said Assemblymember Bill Essayli (R). “We need to close our border. This is a problem of our own making. We have made the borders wide open, millions of people are coming over and now the state of California is creating a huge incentive for those who came here illegally to come to California.” Newsom’s veto comes a day after former President Donald Trump talked about the “flood” of millions of people entering the country illegally, which he said has driven up housing costs. During a speech at the Economic Club of New York, Trump talked about the proposed CA bill and vowed to “ban mortgages for illegal aliens.” Trump also vowed that, when president, he would ask “Congress to pass legislation barring all tax-payer funded benefits” to illegal immigrants.
