A Critically Important Trial Has Just Begun, and No One Involved Will Speak About Motive Robert Spencer When the defendant entered the courtroom, he was dressed respectably in a blue button-down shirt and dark slacks. When his presence was announced, he stood up, said “Good morning,” and gave all present a cheery wave. And thus began one of the most important trials of our age, although everyone involved is doing everything possible to ignore all the reasons why it is so important. Hadi Matar finally went on trial Tuesday for attempting to murder the novelist Salman Rushdie back in Aug. 2022. There is little, if any, doubt about Matar’s guilt, even though he has pleaded not guilty, for he stabbed Rushdie multiple times in full view of a shocked crowd at the Chautauqua festival. Matar was supposed to have gone on trial in Jan. 2024, but Rushdie wrote a book about the attack, and Matar’s defense attorney, public defender Nathaniel Barone, received a delay in the trial so that he could review the book. It’s hard to fathom how what the victim thought about what happened might affect the guilt of his client, but nevertheless, Barone managed to delay the trial for over a year. Now that it has begun, both Barone and his opposite number, Chautauqua County District Attorney Jason Schmidt, seem curiously intent on preventing any discussion of Matar’s motive. Matar tried to kill the man who, at the time of the stabbing had carried for 33 years the most famous bounty on his head since the days of the Wild West. It was on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 1989, that Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini called for Rushdie to be killed for supposedly blaspheming against Muhammad in his novel "The Satanic Verses." By 2022, Iran’s bounty on Rushdie’s head was $3 million. Without Khomeini’s death fatwa on Rushdie, Matar wouldn’t have tried to kill him, and there would be no trial. Nevertheless, neither the prosecution nor the defense wants any talk of that as Matar is tried. Matar himself was upfront about why he stabbed Rushdie. Back in Aug. 2022, he said: “I respect the ayatollah. I think he’s a great person. That’s as far as I will say about that.” Of Rushdie, Matar said: “I don’t like the person. I don’t think he’s a very good person. I don’t like him. I don’t like him very much. He’s someone who attacked Islam, he attacked their beliefs, the belief systems.” Matar isn’t the most articulate person in the world, but what he said was clear enough to establish that he wanted Rushdie dead in accord with Khomeini’s fatwa. Schmidt, however, insists all that is irrelevant, saying: “Here, I don’t believe we have to get into issues of Mr. Matar’s religious beliefs, his nationality, and his background to prove an attempted murder charge, which is what we’re doing. The allegation is that Mr. Matar stabbed Mr. Rushdie and stabbed Mr. Reese in an unprovoked attack. Therefore, I think we can prove that without getting into matters that give rise to prejudice of our jury pool.” Schmidt added: “From my standpoint, this is a localized event. It’s a stabbing event. It’s fairly straightforward. I don’t really see a need to get into motive evidence, whether that’s applicable or not applicable and what that consists of. I’d like to avoid all of that.” Well, all right, but isn’t examination of motive ordinarily a staple of murder trials? https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/02/06/a-critically-important-trial-has-just-begun-and-no-one-involved-will-speak-about-motive-n4936756

People on the left can deny it, scream against it, and try to scold the world to refuse it, but in the end, reality is and always remains undefeated. This is particularly true of biological reality. When President Trump recognized this fact in the White House this week by signing his executive order banning men from participating in women's sports, it wasn't the first domino that fell against the delusions of the gender cult, but it was by far one of the biggest. It was only a matter of time before another one of those dominoes would smack Delaware Rep. Tim 'Sarah' McBride right in his male genitalia. McBride made news in 2024 by becoming the first 'transgender' member of the House of Representatives, but he soon found out that the Republicans in Congress weren't about to bend the knee to his mental illness. Rep. Nancy Mace led a personal crusade to prevent McBride from using the women's bathrooms (because, you know, he is not a woman). Reality won that fight when Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed that men like McBride must use either his own private bathroom or the men's room. Yesterday, Illinois Rep. Mary Miller gave reality another victory when she refused to recognize McBride as a woman on the House Floor. Watch: There was a time when even some conservatives would have criticized Miller for adhering to biological science, calling it 'rude,' 'cruel,' or 'unnecessary.' That time is OVER. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/02/07/it-is-mister-mary-miller-refuses-to-call-tim-sarah-mcbride-a-woman-on-the-house-floor-n2407994

Reliable Media Hoax Scoreboard: Trump 47 Edition
B-Man replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Democrats Go to Hoaxes Again... David Strom Did you know that Elon Musk is the real president of the United States? Did you know that he is going to defund all public schools in America? Did you know that Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are going to stop issuing checks? How about his dastardly plan to crash every airplane in America? The Democrats are panicked and just throwing s**t against the wall hoping something will stick. {snip} Terrorizing bureaucrats! Expect violence soon. Some deranged person is getting egged on by the shouting, and that is what Democrats want. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/02/07/dems-go-to-hoaxes-again-n3799583 -
President Trump: “Billions Have Been Stolen at USAID and Other Agencies – This Could be the Biggest Scandal of Them All – Democrats Can’t Hide” by Jim Hoft US President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that “billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies.” Trump added, “This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history. Democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty.” President Trump is referring to the billions of dollars allocated by USAID that never made it to people in need. other resources from USAID made it to NGOs who were organizing the invasion of America. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/president-trump-billions-have-been-stolen-usaid-other/
