As the trial against former President Donald Trump nears its conclusion, a new and potentially devastating threat looms for the Democrats. A recent report from CNN has raised concerns about the possibility of Trump being acquitted in a separate trial in New York. This could mean a catastrophic blow to the Democrats' efforts to hold Trump accountable for his actions. According to the report, the New York trial, which is focused on allegations of financial crimes and fraud, is seen as a "worst-case scenario" for the Democrats. This is because the bar for conviction in a criminal case is much higher than in an impeachment trial. And with a Republican majority in the Senate, Trump's acquittal in the impeachment trial seems increasingly likely. No matter the outcome of Trump’s criminal trial in New York, Trump supporters will continue to stand by him. It’s the same delusion that Tim Scott clung to when he refused to admit that Trump had been booed at the Libertarian Convention over the weekend. It’s a cult. pic.twitter.com/AXDzvGWoto — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) May 27, 2024 The potential acquittal in the New York trial has sparked outrage and panic among Democrats. They fear that it will send a message that Trump is above the law and can get away with any wrongdoing. It could also embolden him to continue his divisive and destructive actions, knowing that there will be no consequences. For the Democrats, the stakes couldn't be higher. This trial was seen as their last chance to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from running for office again. But with the possibility of an acquittal in both trials, their efforts could ultimately be in vain. It would also be a major setback for President Joe Biden's agenda, as a Trump acquittal would further solidify his position as the leader of the Republican Party. LAWFARE: While Trump and everyone working with him is gagged from publicly speaking about the witnesses in his trial, President Biden is allowed to personally visit the star witness against his son.

Threaten her? pic.twitter.com/I7qyGowev1 — @amuse (@amuse) May 27, 2024 The CNN report also sheds light on the potential consequences of a Trump acquittal. Legal experts warn that it could set a dangerous precedent, making it more difficult to prosecute future presidents for criminal offenses. It could also undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in the justice system. Moreover, a Trump acquittal could also have serious political implications. It could galvanize his base and give him a strong platform to launch a potential comeback in the 2024 presidential election. It could also divide the country even further and deepen the partisan divide. The Democrats are now faced with a difficult dilemma. They must continue to push for Trump's conviction in the impeachment trial while also preparing for the worst-case scenario of an acquittal in the New York trial. They are also under pressure to find new ways to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from regaining power. In conclusion, the potential acquittal of Trump in the New York trial is a nightmare scenario for the Democrats. It could not only derail their efforts to hold him accountable but also have far-reaching consequences for the country. As the trial draws to a close, all eyes are on the Senate to see if justice will prevail or if Trump will once again evade punishment for his actions. What are YOUR thoughts?

At 22, Ellie Bentley had her entire life in front of her. She graduated with degrees in mathematics and physics from the University of York in the United Kingdom. She moved to St. Louis, Missouri, with her then-boyfriend, Indiana Vassilav. On February 25, 2024, Ellie was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Shots rang out, and Ellie hid between two cars to avoid the shooting. @elliebentley__ As you may know on 25th February I was caught up in a shooting and dragged along the road several blocks under a car. My family and I are very grateful for all the support we have received since the accident and want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us through this difficult time. Unfortunately due to the extent of my injuries I still have a long road to recovery. All donations go directly towards my recovery and rehabilitation. I thank everyone who has already donated from the bottom of my heart. Your kind words and generosity have helped me to power through, I hope to leave the hospital soon. Thank you so much for your love and support, Ellie xox soon. GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/Ocab8058 #fyp #foryourpage #trending #viral #viralvideo #tiktok ♬ what was I made for? – Instrumental – Wheeler That refuge became a nightmare for Ellie as the driver of one of the vehicles decided it was a good time to flee the scene. Ellie had made eye contact with the driver, and he knew she was there. He opted to speed off, carrying Ellie Bentley with him. Hanging on for her life, Ellie was dragged through the streets of St. Louis for several blocks. The hit-and-run driver was later identified as Dionte Taylor. In an interview with “5 On Your Side,” Ellie stated, “The driver, never asked me to move out the way, never ushered to the side or anything. He looks at me and just completely puts his foot to the gas. Never takes his foot off the gas, just accelerating and accelerating.” Ellie was dumped in front of the Platypus Bar. Someone from the bar called 911, and employees jumped into action. They worked together to apply pressure to Ellie’s injuries to slow the bleeding while waiting for first responders. The actions of the Platypus Bar employees were instrumental in saving Ellie Bentley’s life. Ellie Bentley’s Miraculous Recovery After The Hit-and-Run The list of Ellie’s injuries is extensive. She has documented her recovery story on TikTok. We must warn you that some photos are very graphic and not for the squeamish. The story of her recovery is amazing, though, and Ellie Bentley is a true survivor by any definition. Images from TikTok. With five major surgeries so far, Ellie still has a long road ahead of her. Although she may have years of continuing treatment and surgeries, she left the hospital on March 10, 2024. Her positive attitude and survivor spirit make a huge difference. She will bounce back from this experience. In her healing process, she sends a message to others to give them hope. No matter what knocks you down, you can survive and move forward. Ellie Bentley personifies the word “Hero.” @elliebentley__ Just got to stay positive! And be a decent runner… #foryoupage #victimofcrime #viral #girlhood #tiktok #abcxyz #fyp ♬ Calvin Roux by Snowdream – Snowdream Two of Ellie’s friends, Kendall Kau and Lauren Coleman, have organized a GoFundMe to assist with Ellie’s medical care and recovery costs. You can visit the donation page for more details on Ellie’s recovery. During several interviews, Ellie has expressed a desire to remain in the St. Louis area. The outpouring of love and community spirit overwhelmed her. She no longer dates Indiana Vassilav but has fallen in love with the city he brought her to.

Oh, give me a break

In a previous article, How to Make Your Own Lunch Meat, we made a garlic, onion and herb roast beef.  As I promised, now we’re making a Cajun-seasoned roasted turkey lunch meat.   Meat Selection and the Power of Salt I was looking for a boneless, skinless turkey breast but did not find one. It must be a Thanksgiving thing. I did find a bone-in, skin-on, frozen turkey breast at $18.42 for 6.16 lbs.  I bought two different kinds of seasoning.  One, a dry general, 5oz of Cajun seasoning containing salt, paprika, red pepper, thyme, black pepper, celery seed, garlic and onion.  5oz of seasoning may not sound like much, but it was about a cup and a quarter of seasoning.  The second was a dry Creole seasoning containing sea salt, organic dehydrated onion, garlic, paprika, cane sugar, natural hickory smoke flavor (what the heck is that?), and safflower oil.  The first will be used in the brine, and the second will be applied to the breast just before roasting.  Again, using the book Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn, I made a basic brine.  I highly recommend this book for your own library. Brining meat does three things: 1) It changes the meat cells at the molecular level, allowing the cells to plump with water, thereby making the meat moist. You can do the same thing with a whole turkey to prevent it from becoming dry at Thanksgiving dinner. I have done that in the past.   2) It infuses whatever seasoning or flavors you want to add. I made the above-mentioned Thanksgiving turkey with an Earl Grey tea infusion. It turned out great! 3)  The salt acts as a preservative, preventing bacteria from forming in the short term, more so than unbrined meat. Here’s the step by step for making turkey lunch meat. The basic brine is: 1 gallon/4 liters of water ¾ cup/200 grams of kosher salt ½ cup/125 grams of sugar I took half a gallon of water, put it in a bowl, and put it in the freezer to chill while I made the brine.   I put the other half of a gallon of water into a large sauce pan, mixed in the salt and sugar, and brought it to a boil, occasionally stirring until all the salt and sugar dissolved. I let it cool until just warm. I then took the turkey breast and put it in a 2.5-gallon plastic zip-lock bag. I added the chilled water, then the Cajun seasoning, and then the warm brine. I secured the bag and placed it in the fridge. I used the charcuterie book’s guidelines for brining a 4 lb chicken and a full 15 lb turkey and split the difference of 18 hours. I drained and discarded the brine, rinsed the turkey breast, and then let it rest in the fridge for three hours.   Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. While the oven was pre-heating, I cut the skin away, exposing the breast, leaving the skin on by the base of the back at the bottom next to the bottom of a cast iron roasting pan.  Save that and the turkey carcass for later to make a very interesting stock.  Never let anything go to waste!  I used the Creole seasoning blend and packed it around the breast, down into the cavity and some around the skin.   Roast in the oven for 2 ¼ to 2 ½ hours or when the breast reads 165 degrees, not touching bone, on an instant read thermometer.   How Did It Come Out? The Creole seasoning did make the surface of the breast a bit salty, but not unpleasantly so.  The meat in the center, with no Creole seasoning, was moist and had a nice mild Cajun flavor.   It was awesome! Once cool, I put it in a bowl in the fridge as I had other things to do. Later, when I went into the fridge for something, I found my wife had been snacking, stripping off the top layers. It was so good, and she is not usually a fan of Cajun-like seasoning.   I cut the breast away from the bone, divided them into three different portions, wrapped them, and put them in the freezer for later use.   Up next, I am pondering the idea of a Jamaican Jerk chicken breast wrapped in bacon.  If I could have found a boneless, skinless turkey breast as my original intent, I would have wrapped it in bacon, but no joy.   If you have any suggestions and would like to see me give it a go,  I would love to hear them in the comments section!  About 1stMarineJarHead 1stMarineJarHead is not only a former Marine, but also a former EMT-B, Wilderness EMT (courtesy of NOLS), and volunteer firefighter.
