“Alvin Bragg and the Art of Not Taking the Law Too Seriously” by Jonathan Turley is a good read. He says the trial is making Rube Goldberg’s 13 step self-operating napkin look like a model of efficiency and clarity. It is so convoluted and illogical it is mesmerizing. It’s a “fantastic illogical machine.” The premise of […] The post Bragg’s Case Against Trump Doesn’t Have an Underlying Crime appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Drea de Matteo‚ an actress of “The Sopranos” fame‚ says people in Hollywood are too “petrified” to disagree with liberals on social issues because of the current political climate with President Joe Biden in office. As part of a discussion with Donald Trump Jr. on his “Triggered” podcast‚ the Emmy winner quipped about how she is “so liberal” that she is conservative in today’s politics and there are “so many” in the industry who share her views. The Biden administration has tried to perpetuate a “bulls***” message of “unity” and has used “social issues as pawns to further their administration‚” which Matteo said “did nothing but divide people.” “This administration has just been hammering all of these things and people in Hollywood are petrified‚” she continued. “What‚ are you going to speak out against race‚ and sex‚ and all of that stuff&;#63; Matteo added‚ “People are afraid to have those conversations‚ because first of all‚ you never win with a liberal. You’re just never gonna win.” “I’m just so liberal that I’m a conservative at this point.” Emmy winner‚ your favorite Sopranos star Drea de Matteo @dreadematteo is fed up with all the Hollywood hate and all the far-left lunacy driving our country off a cliff pic.twitter.com/LqFHX0yGfQ — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 23‚ 2024 By contrast‚ Matteo suggested to Trump Jr. that his father‚ former President Donald Trump‚ shares her apathy for the very social issues being used to stoke disharmony across the United States.

The actress indicated that she would not be as outspoken if her personal experience had been different. “I really did want to fight‚ but I didn’t think I had‚ A‚ the voice‚ B‚ the balls‚” Matteo said‚ adding how she “kind of got thrown to the wolves‚ I felt like‚ and once I was out there‚ I was like I’m out here‚ what am I going to do&;#63; I’m out of my cage.” Matteo also talked about her support network. “I do feel like I’m supported‚ you know‚ by my boyfriend — I know this sounds crazy‚ but‚ by God‚ my children. My children — they believe in what we believe in‚ which is freedom and unity the right way.”

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee signed legislation on Friday allowing teachers and school staff in the state to carry concealed handguns on school property. The legislation‚ aimed at improving school safety‚ comes about a year after a mass shooting that killed three children and three adults at The Covenant School in Nashville. The governor announced his support for the legislation at a press conference the day before signing it. “I think we need to be really clear about what this does – districts have the right to choose‚” Lee said‚ according to WSMV. “What’s important to me is that we give districts tools and the option to use the tool that will keep their children safe in their schools.” The law creates a process of approvals and training for educators and other school staff to qualify to conceal carry a gun on campus. The school superintendent‚ principal‚ and chief of local law enforcement must all approve the concealed carry applicant. The applicant must also pass a background check‚ obtain an enhanced carry permit‚ undergo a psychological exam‚ and complete 80 hours of training annually at their own expense to keep carrying the handgun on campus‚ according to CNN. The law also prohibits guns from being carried in stadiums‚ gymnasiums‚ and auditoriums while games or performances are taking place‚ or during meetings over tenure or disciplinary actions. The program is opt-in‚ so schools do not necessarily have to arm staff to comply with the law. School leadership could block any educators from concealed carrying on school property. It is unclear how widely the new tool will be adopted. Some schools have made public statements since the legislation was signed into law announcing an intent not to participate. Many schools already have armed school resource officers on campus. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Our teachers and principals carry tremendous responsibilities in teaching and supporting our students in the classroom‚” Sumner County Schools Director Scott Langford said in a statement‚ according to The Tennessean. “Our teachers and principals already play a critical role in school safety by ensuring that our safety procedures are followed in our school buildings daily. We do not want to add one more task or responsibility to them.” Republicans who supported the legislation have warned school districts against making public statements on the bill. Rep. Ryan Williams said that a public statement would mark the school to potential shooters as having potentially less protection. “If they did say that‚ they would be telling their entire community that the deterrent doesn’t exist there‚” Williams said during debate over the bill.
