For almost a decade, Donald J. Trump has done, said and survived things that would have doomed any other politician. He even saw his support increase after four sets of criminal indictments last year — including the charges for falsifying business records that he was ultimately found guilty of Thursday. The polls cannot tell us how voters will respond to the unprecedented verdict. Most voters weren’t even paying close attention to the trial, and asking voters...

The presidential campaigns of Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump and incumbent Democrat Joe Biden are battling over the topics to be covered in their first presidential debate next month, the New York Post reported Thursday.  Both campaigns have presented a wish list of topics for the June 27 head-to-head showdown in Atlanta on CNN, according to the report. Moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will be the ultimate decision-makers on topics. Biden's campaign made...

Israel will not agree to any halt in fighting in Gaza that is not part of a deal that includes a return of hostages, a senior Israeli security official said on Friday. The comment came after a statement from Hamas declaring that it would be ready to reach an agreement including an exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, as long as Israel stopped the fighting in Gaza. "There will be no truce, or any halt in fighting whatsoever, in Gaza which is not part-and-parcel of a hostage-...

Yes, it’s obviously true that a 34-count felony conviction would be enough to demolish the career of any normal politician. Yes, it’s obviously true that former president Donald Trump is not a normal politician. His most devoted partisans will only become more so following Thursday’s guilty verdict. Just as they did after the Access Hollywood tape, the impeachments, the Jan. 6 riot and other examples too abundant to recount or, for many people, even to recall. But these two obvious truths...

Well, Alvin Bragg got his man. In a case that will eventually be remembered as a textbook instance of selective prosecution, the Manhattan district attorney breathed life into an alleged bookkeeping misdemeanor that the statute of limitations had expired on and, Merlin-like, transformed it into 34 felonies. In his press conference after the jury returned the guilty verdict Thursday afternoon, Bragg said his office did its work without “fear or favor,” an Orwellian portrayal of a...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who has steadfastly refused to comment about the presidential race or his long-running feud with former President Trump, came to Trump’s defense Thursday night. Hours after the jury rendered its guilty verdict, McConnell declared that the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg should never have brought the case and predicted the conviction would be overturned. “These charges never should have been brought in the first...

The Supreme Court handed down a unanimous victory for the National Rifle Association, the powerful pro-gun organization, on Thursday. Notably, the opinion was authored by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an Obama appointee and one of the Court’s few remaining liberal voices. Yet nothing about the Court’s decision in National Rifle Association v. Vullo should surprise anyone. The case involved an egregious and straightforward violation of the First Amendment, and Sotomayor’s name on the...

He got the shot to keep his job, only to lose his job because he got the shot. A 21-year-old man from Connecticut outlined his serious vaccine injuries that have lasted almost three years, describing his ordeal as a “full-body assault.” Michael Locke was very muscular for his age, squatting 500 pounds and bench pressing 340 pounds. “I had my share of issues, like anyone else, but the gym was my place to go as an outlet,” he said. “It was my purpose in life, my ‘happy place.'” Locke reportedly contracted the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) in early 2020, which he described as “horrendous.” The infection made him “mentally unstable” and he needed job stability at the time. This led him to leave the University of Connecticut (UC) and look for work, which he managed to find. But Locke was threatened with dismissal from his job if he did not get himself injected with the COVID-19 vaccine. He reasoned that having stable employment was more important than refusing to get the injection, so he got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in June 2021.

Given my instability, I reasoned that would be worse to lose the structure [and] schedule that this job was giving me, so I got the injection.” But Locke’s ordeal began soon after getting injected. “I did not know what but something was different, and something was wrong,” he acknowledged. Despite this, he pushed on with his preparations for a bodybuilding competition. “After the competition, I was in bad shape. My bloodwork was also quite bad. I started eating more, but my body was not responsive; I could not exercise like I had before.” COVID-19 vaccine caused more harm than good for Locke In January 2022, Locke decided to move to Florida – only to be greeted by what he recounted as “the most painful experience” of his life. His body severely stopped working properly, with him outlining several symptoms such as tightness in the chest, headaches, a tingling sensation, dizziness and numbness. “Not only was I unsure of what was happening to me or why, but I was also alone and constantly floating between doctor’s offices while trying to keep myself together. I discovered on my own that I likely have a form of dysautonomia because my heart rate changes at least [more than] 30 [beats per minute] when changing positions, [e.g.] sitting to standing.” Locke eventually began working with a physician who specializes in long COVID-19 and long vaccine damage and has currently getting bloodwork. He and his doctor sadly confirmed that three years after being injected, Locke currently has both COVID-19 and vaccine spike protein antibodies. “I am working full-time in a job I very much enjoy, but I must not stand up too long. I must follow a strict diet … along with regular fasting because food triggers a large response. I no longer weightlift, and I am struggling,” he said. “We are often told that it is “anxiety’ as the cause – it is not. This is not a ‘mental disorder.’ This is a full-body assault that results in mental changes.” Visit VaccineInjuryNews.com for more stories about vaccine injuries caused by the J&J COVID-19 injection.
