Pew: Catholic Vote Swinging to Trump -- By Double Digits -- Over 'Devout' Biden The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 43% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/catholics-support-swings-trump-biden-significant-margin-poll .

If these can't be comfortably read aloud in a city council meeting or school board meeting, that should be the first ah-ha moment.

FTA: Simply put: That which gets rewarded gets repeated. Humpty Dumpty and all that. The "Roman Revolution" and the erosion and eventual collapse of the Roman Republic’s mos maiorum. Having to sleep in the bed you made. Add in any cliché or historical reference you care to throw in, the point is the same. Unless firmly and quickly ended, this abuse of process by a partisan judge and a partisan prosecutor is going to continue —against candidates of both major parties, and perhaps against all future "former presidents." In short, this trial is the sowing of the wind. Other political judges and prosecutors will reap the whirlwind. Everyone will lose. It is, for those who profess to love the rule of law, a disaster. If a former president and current nominee of an out-of-power party can be put through such a circus within six months of an election, do you really think this is the last time that will happen? I don’t expect or, of course, condone violence in the aftermath of this trial or the fall’s election. Prophets of such doom are themselves likely to hold extreme views. But Juan Merchan and Alvin Bragg and their colleagues in this off-the-rails proceeding will have injected such deep bitterness into the country’s politics that it will take at least a few election cycles to purge the anger and perhaps as much as a generation or two to forget and recover from this abuse of process. We will not know this side of heaven what Merchan and Bragg thought they were doing. But what they have already done is enough to put them down in the column of those who put politics ahead of law, to the great and lasting detriment of the Republic. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/morning-glory-show-trial-donald-trump .

It's Hard to Imagine a Worse Day for Stormy and the NYC Prosecutors in the Hush Trump Case VICTORIA TAFT It's hard to imagine a worse day in court than having a reliable witness come in, throw his own client, Stormy Daniels, under the New York Subway train, and then completely disembowel the prosecution's case, at least the one they're selling to the jury. That's what happened Thursday in the Hush Trump case in Manhattan. The Get Trump prosecutors' big coup of a witness, Stormy Daniels' attorney Keith Davidson, basically pantsed D.A. Alvin Bragg, his assistant D.A., and lead prosecutor Matthew Colangelo in front of God and everybody. First, Davidson threw his client, the former adult movie copulator, under the B train by leaving her naked and exposed as the conniving extortionist she has always appeared to be in this shakedown of Trump. Davidson, who insisted on correcting attorneys nomenclature and another verbiage on the stand, pedantically yet thoroughly, discredited the prosecution's case that Trump frantically tried to silence the statuesque porno professional for a supposed long-ago tryst for the purpose of stealing the 2016 election. If you're new here, this is the prosecution's theory. There's more to it than that, but stop laughing and read more over here, here and here. Under questioning by Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass, Davidson went over the nondisclosure agreement he helped draw up for Daniels. Steinglass was gingerly trying to ask Davidson if Stormy's agreement was a lie when she signed it to collect $130,000 or now, in court. But it was what he said under cross-examination by Trump's attorney that appears to have left Stormy in even more legal jeopardy than she was before. https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2024/05/03/stormy-daniels-atty-says-she-basically-extorted-the-trump-heres-how-n4928731 .

Hmmm. Cuellar was one of the few Democrats to openly criticize Joe Biden over the border crisis, and narrowly held off a progressive challenger in 2022 over it. One has to wonder whether that's just coincidental to any indictment that the DoJ produces, especially in this administration. -- Ed Morrissey https://hotair.com/headlines/2024/05/03/breaking-doj-to-indict-rep-cuellar-on-campaign-finance-chjarges-n3787711 .

You know the thing I like best about clueless cosplaying intersectional studies majors with masks and batons and helmets colonializing campuses with garbage-strewn barricaded shanty towns while policing Jew checkpoints in a $9.95 reflective vest and mindlessly repeating genocidal Hamas slogans from a professor with a bullhorn until they decide it's time to smash the windows of the library and take that ***** over too? When they start screaming "SHAME SHAME" as soon as somebody tries to stop them

Donald Trump Had a Better Week Than Joe Biden Did. “The plan, no doubt, was to have Joe Biden safely tucked away from the spotlight in a modified basement strategy, hiding behind the news of Trump being in court and finally having the walls close in on him. The lawfare abuse was intended to distract from the fact that Joe Biden is the worst president in United States history.” https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2024/05/03/the-morning-briefing-donald-trump-had-a-better-week-than-joe-biden-did-n4928722 .

Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Just Destroyed Bragg’s Case Against Trump MATT MARGOLIS Former President Donald Trump was back in New York City Thursday for his criminal trial, and it's been a pretty good day for him. During Thursday's proceedings, Keith Davidson, the lawyer representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels, gave revealing testimony that completely undermines Bragg's charges against Trump. {snip} Meanwhile, Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, may have made a critical error that could reverse the Trump verdict upon appeal by allowing prosecutors to make certain arguments. “I got to tell you, I think this judge may have already committed a reversible error,” GWU University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News. “He could try to amend it, he could try to change it in his instructions, but that jury has now been told repeatedly that there are federal election crimes here, strongly suggesting that the payment to Stormy Daniels did violate federal election laws. That’s just not true.” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/05/02/stormy-daniels-lawyer-just-destroyed-braggs-case-against-trump-n4928720 .

10 Lies Democrats Tell About Our Elections (And How To Refute Them) by Shawn Fleetwood There is almost no subject the left won’t lie about. Whether it’s denying basic biology or fabricating “bloodbath” hoaxes about their top Republican rival, no topic is off limits for the Democrat “disinformation” police — and that includes elections. Since the 2020 election, Democrats and their media allies have worked overtime to smear Americans concerned about the integrity of U.S. elections. No matter how legitimate these concerns may be, the left slanders anyone who challenges controversial elections won by Democrats as so-called “election deniers.” Putting aside the fact that Democrats have questioned elections they don’t win (see the Trump-Russia collusion hoax), it’s important to highlight that the left regularly lies about America’s elections to further their party’s goal of acquiring and maintaining government power. In service of this goal, no falsehood is too great. https://thefederalist.com/2024/05/03/10-lies-democrats-tell-about-our-elections-and-how-to-refute-them/ .

Who will Donald Trump choose as his running mate? What to know as potential VPs gather in Florida. David Jackson, Zac Anderson WASHINGTON Former President Donald Trump will spend part of his weekend hosting the latest episode of "The Apprentice," but this time it's the vice presidential edition. At least six contenders for the former president's running mate – Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C.; Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio; Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.; Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and North Dakota Gov. Doug Bergum – will attend a Republican donor retreat Friday and Saturday in Palm Beach, Florida, in what looks like a series of auditions. "This is a wonderful opportunity for Republican leaders and supporters to come together," says the invitation to the event, which will also include panel discussions featuring campaign officials and Republican lawmakers that are closed to the press. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/05/03/donald-trump-vice-president-running-mate/73510077007/ .
