Trump's $354M fraud verdict: Election play or justice?
Former President Donald Trump claims to be politically persecuted more than any other former president in America — and after the $354 million fraud verdict against him, it seems he’s probably right.
The penalty will exceed $450 million, and the New York attorney general keeps claiming she may seize Trump’s assets if he can’t pay the $354 million fine.
The mainstream media is having a field day with the verdict, even though there was no victim in the case levied against him.
“Now we know that there was no victim here, and that’s a key part of this story,” Stu Burguiere explains. “It’s not like a situation where he lied to the bank.”
Trump didn’t lie to the bank, and the bank wasn’t hurt in the process. Trump allegedly did, however, lie about how much his properties were valued at.
“Now, the banks themselves say, ‘Well, actually we do our own checking on that. We check to see if these values are right, we look at them ourselves. Everybody makes up values that, you know, we’re not comfortable with. But we gave him the loan because we thought he was a good risk,’” Stu says, breaking it down to the simplest terms.
Which is why Stu knows that New York AG Letitia James isn’t going after Donald Trump because it legally makes sense to go after Donald Trump but rather because she hates him.
“This was her campaign promise, to go after Donald Trump really with any means necessary. So that’s what she’s doing,” he says.

If you want to ensure a future of freedom for your children and grandchildren, THIS is how you do it
When you piece together everything currently going on in our nation, it’s “a pretty bleak picture,” says Glenn Beck.
We’re at a breaking point in America – a point where “the death of the Republic and the death of … the American experiment” are knocking on our door.
People fear that war is coming, but “we are at war” already, says Glenn, “a spiritual war primarily.”
But our fight is not against “flesh and bone” but rather “true evil,” he explains.
“I have children,” and “I have grandchildren, and I’m desperate for them to live a full, happy, comfortable life, even if it means I give my life or I give up all that I have,” says Glenn.
The truth is there are millions of Americans who can empathize with this fear. We want our children and their children to be promised freedom and opportunity in the days ahead, but the future is anything but certain in our current political climate.
“We are in what possibly is the final battle for the American way of life,” says Glenn.
So what do we do? If we want to ensure a future of freedom for those who come after us, then what action do we need to take?
For starters, we can learn from the people all over the nation who are boldly, courageously speaking out against the darkness.
“There are parents all over this country that are standing up,” says Glenn, and calling out “the insanity in our schools.”
“There are doctors all over the country” who are “standing up and risking their license” by refusing to condone the “mutilation of children” and forced vaccinations, for example.
There are “scientists that are standing up, that know that science is based on provable fact.”
There are “actors and actresses and writers and directors and gaffers and cinematographers and stage people that have had enough of the insanity.”
And Glenn asks, “Have you noticed the number of whistleblowers” who have suddenly come forward?
The bottom line is: You have a voice. Use it.

American diplomats meet with Zelenskyy, agree to send hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Ukraine
The U.S. agreed to provide the Ukrainian government with millions of dollars in military aid following a secretive meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and top U.S. diplomats on Sunday.
The New York Post reported that the diplomats announced President Joe Biden’s plans to nominate Bridget Brink as the American ambassador to Ukraine and that American diplomats will return to Ukraine this week after evacuating the country before the Russian invasion began.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin met with Zelenskyy and told him that the U.S. would provide his country with more than $300 million in military financing. The American diplomats also approved a $165 million sale of ammunition not made in the U.S. that will be compatible with Ukraine’s Soviet-era weapons.
The U.S. will be providing a total of $713 million for foreign military financing for Ukraine and 15 allied and partner countries. Of this money, $322 million will go to Ukraine.
The rest of the money will be split between NATO member nations and other countries that have provided military supplies to Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
With this latest aid package, the U.S. government has provided Ukraine with $3.7 billion in assistance since the beginning of the war.
This past Thursday, Biden pledged to give an additional $800 million in military aid to Ukraine, including heavy artillery and drones.
As part of the $13.6 billion spending package approved by Congress last month to provide aid and relief to Ukraine and the country’s allies, the American legislative branch committed to spending a total of $6.5 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.
Zelenskyy has made repeated pleas for military assistance from the U.S. since the Russian invasion began.
Before meeting with Blinken and Austin, Zelenskyy said, “We will talk about the list of weapons that we need and the pace of its supply. In recent weeks, the pace, the number has all improved. I’m grateful for that.”
Sunday’s meeting was kept very secret, as American officials refused to confirm that Zelenskyy and the American diplomats would be meeting even after the Ukrainian president announced the summit the day before.
Journalists who traveled with the American diplomatic contingent were not permitted to cross the border into Ukraine or disclose the location of the meeting. They were also barred from reporting on the trip until after it had concluded.
Blinken currently plans to return to Washington from Poland, while Austin is planning to meet with NATO leaders in Germany.
White House physician who served under Obama calls for Biden's immediate resignation
A former White House Physician, who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations, said that President Joe Biden is not mentally fit to serve as president and ought to immediately resign.
On Friday, the physician in question, Ronny Jackson, said, “Biden doesn’t know what’s going on with Ukraine. He Doesn’t know what’s going on with ANYTHING! He’s not cognitively capable of leading. He needs to RESIGN before our country suffers anymore.”
Biden doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with Ukraine. He doesn\u2019t know what\u2019s going on with ANYTHING! He\u2019s not cognitively capable of leading. He needs to RESIGN before our country suffers any more.— Ronny Jackson (@Ronny Jackson) 1647043191
The doctor’s comments are in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine which continues to disrupt the geopolitical balance of power.
Jackson, a Republican, currently represents Texas’s 13th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives and has raised questions about Biden’s cognitive ability in the past.
In late February, Rep. Jackson called for Biden to take a cognitive test and said that he is “not fit to be our president right now.”
Fox News reported that Jackson said, “The whole country is seeing his mental cognitive issues on display for over a year now, and there’s really no question in most people’s minds that there’s something going on with him, that he’s not cognitively the same as he used to be and, in my mind, not fit to be our president right now.”
The congressman continued, “Every time he gets up and talks to the American people, it’s not just the American people that are watching him speak, it’s the whole world, and that’s part of what the problem is here. He looks tired, he looks weak, he looks confused, he’s incoherent, and it sends a message of weakness all over the world, and they’re seizing up on that.”
Last July, he predicted that Biden would eventually resign from the presidency due to his declining cognitive abilities.
He said, “There’s something seriously going on with this man right now, and, you know, I think that he’s either going to resign, they’re going to convince him to resign from office at some point in the near future for medical issues or they’re going to have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of this man right now.”
Last January, Jackson slammed Biden for ignoring a question about his mental health and suggested that him doing so was an indication that something was “wrong” with the president.
Biden ignoring this question led Jackson to demand he sit for a cognitive examination.
Jackson said, “I am demanding he have a cognitive test NOW. There’s too much on the line, we need to know!”
BIDEN JUST IGNORED A QUESTION ABOUT HIS COGNITIVE DECLINE! Something is WRONG with him. This man IS NOT qualified to be President!! I am demanding he have a cognitive test NOW. There\u2019s too much on the line, we need to know!— Ronny Jackson (@Ronny Jackson) 1642631784
