Judge Instructs Jurors They Need Not Believe Trump Is Guilty To Convict Him
NEW YORK, NY — As the criminal trial involving former President Donald Trump winds to a close, the presiding judge instructed jurors that they don't have to believe Trump is guilty to convict him.
The reminder from Judge Juan Merchan was issued to the jury as closing arguments began, with the judge clarifying that Trump doesn't necessarily have to be guilty of a crime in order for the jury to find Trump guilty of a crime.
"Don't get hung up on whether or not he's ‘guilty' of anything," Judge Merchan instructed jurors. "Words like ‘guilty' or ‘innocent' or ‘evidence' are really just for show, anyway. The important thing is that you listen to the closing arguments with an open mind and an unwavering commitment to handing down a guilty verdict. Remember, believing Trump is guilty is not important. Declaring him guilty — that's what you're all here for."
As the trial neared its end, media, politicians, celebrities, and the general public all eagerly awaited the outcome. "Judge Merchan has run a very strict courtroom," said one legal analyst. "Not allowing any type of shenanigans, reasoned arguments, or clear evidence to be present during the trial was a bold choice, and now he's making sure the jurors are aware that believing Trump to be guilty has no bearing on convicting him of the charges. An impressive stance from a judge to say the least."
At publishing time, Judge Merchan had reportedly informed bailiffs to be ready to handcuff Trump and escort him to jail regardless of whether or not the jury found him guilty.
It's disgusting. This is a classic kangaroo court that is a disgrace to the entire United States. That guy doesn't belong on any judicial bench, anywhere, ever.

The Islamic Radicals Want to Kill All of Us — Gay, Straight, Christian and Jew By TODD STARNES Published on June 13, 2016 • 1 Comment
Todd Starnes Convert or die.
That is the war cry of the modern-day jihadist.
The Islamic Radicals want to exterminate all of us — Gay and straight, Christian and Jew.
“They target each and every one of us,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote in a powerful call to action. “Their objective, which they broadcast worldwide, is to murder or forcibly convert every single American.”
And as we saw in Orlando, Florida — this enemy shows no mercy.
The death toll is staggering — 49 dead, dozens wounded — mostly young people enjoying a night of dancing and music at a popular gay nightclub.
More bodies piled on the altar of political correctness. I say enough!
“What we need is for every American — Democrat and Republican — to come together, abandon political correctness, and unite in defeating radical Islamic terrorism,” Cruz wrote.
Now that most of the military has already been force-vaccinated for covid, Pentagon finally drops deadly mandate
"The Department will continue to promote and encourage COVID-19 vaccination for all service members," Austin wrote in the memo. "Vaccination enhances operational readiness and protects the force."
That last bit about the shots supposedly protecting the force is what the Biden regime plans to use to compel unvaccinated servicemen to get jabbed, as they could be denied deployment due to being "unhealthy" in the eyes of the state.
The mandate drop does not include other vaccines, it is important to note. All other injections will still be mandatory in order to serve.

US Administration Abandons Israel, Empowers Enemies by Majid Rafizadeh May 18, 2024 at 5:00 am
Worse, abandoning Israel sends a troubling message to U.S. allies worldwide: in times of crisis, do not rely on American support.
The Biden administration has eroded trust and damaged U.S. credibility on the global stage even further than it already had done after surrendering Afghanistan and allowing China to kill more than a million Americans with Covid-19, or poisoning to death more than 80,000 Americans each year with fentanyl, or permitting China to commit massive espionage and intellectual property theft with no consequences at all.
