2A: The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously in favor of the National Rifle Association in the case of NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA v. VULLO, in which the NRA argued that Maria Vullo, former superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS), violated the First Amendment by coercing DFS-regulated parties to punish or suppress the NRA’s gun-promotion advocacy. They also showed evidence that then-Governor Cuomo was in on it.

Justice Sotomayor wrote in the majority opinion, “A government official can share her views freely and criticize particular beliefs, and she can do so forcefully in the hopes of persuading others to follow her lead. In doing so, she can rely on the merits and force of her ideas, the strength of her convictions, and her ability to inspire others. What she cannot do, however, is use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression.” Justices Neil Gorsuch and Ketanji Brown Jackson filed concurring opinions.

COVID-19 MASKS: A study entitled “Changing risk factors for developing SARS-CoV-2 infection from Delta to Omicron” was published May 15, 2024, in PLOS ONE. In it, researchers report what they found in the UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) data from 200,000 adults and children who were tested for COVID-19 every two weeks from November 2021 to May 2022 – a period that covered multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants.

According to the study, those who consistently wore masks at work, school, or in enclosed spaces experienced a reduced risk of infection as compared to non-mask wearers, but only prior to 2021. Once Omicron took over, the balance changed. By February 2022 and onward, wearing a mask offered no protection for adults and potentially increased the risk of infection for children.

Researchers speculate the shift was related primarily to the increase in the number of people who had developed natural immunity and/or had gotten vaccinated. Since other studies have shown that the ‘rona jabs damage natural immunity and provide limited and then negative protection, my guess is that the real change was from the virus having killed off the “low hanging fruit” and infected enough who recovered to put it in the same category as other seasonal viruses.

TRANS: A study entitled “Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Transgender Men on Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study” was published on April 25, 2024, in International Urogynecology Journal.

In it, researchers report having been curious to see if pelvic floor dysfunction, which is common in post-menopausal women, might also affect trans women taking hormones to make them look and sound masculine.

Cleveland Clinic says, “Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common condition where you can’t correctly relax and coordinate the muscles in your pelvic floor to urinate (pee) or have a bowel movement (poop). Think of your pelvis as being home to organs like your bladder, uterus, prostate and rectum.”

Of the 68 ftm trannies who participated in the study, 95% had developed pelvic floor dysfunction. The average age was 28, but some of the affected participants were as young as 18.

2024: The article linked below includes the following – “One adviser to major Democratic Party donors provided a running list that has been shared with funders of nearly two dozen reasons why Biden could lose, ranging from immigration and high inflation to the president’s age, the unpopularity of Vice President Kamala Harris and the presence of third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. … ‘The list of why we ‘could’ win is so small I don’t even need to keep the list on my phone,’” he adds.

END TIMES: LifeSiteNews email today featured the following articles …

  1. Male drag ‘artist’ dances for kids at Vatican’s World Children’s Day
  1. Vatican issues statement apologizing for Pope Francis using ‘homophobic’ term
  1. Catholic leaders beg US bishops to cancel agency funding Marxist, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT groups
  1. Archbishop Viganò: ‘Bergoglio is one of the main activists of the hellish LGBTQ + agenda’

LAWSUITS: The article linked below discusses how lawsuits are successfully derailing the trans conveyor belt that is destroying children’s lives.

LIBERTARIANS: RFK Jr. was kicked off their prez ballot in the first round of voting. Their nominee is a homosexual who supports COVID jab mandates and open borders. LifeSiteNews reports the theme of their convention was “Become Ungovernable”, as they have apparently embraced the Marxist Left’s anti-child, anti-marriage, anti-American, anti-human, and ultimately anti-God ideologies.

LGBTQIA+: The plus (+) stands for a host of sick, sinful sexual practices, including bestiality. So a group of 9th grade girls were told by a guest speaker at Renmark High School in South Australia.

The students were ordered to leave their regular classes to attend a special hour-long presentation focused on “relationships.” Parents said they were not notified about the presentation, nor was it consented to. There were no other adults supervising the bait-and-switch hit job, which focused on relationships that offend God, including bestiality which the students say was “explained in detail.

Some of the students were so uncomfortable that they asked to go to the bathroom and never came back. Some parents have unenrolled their kids. The administration claims they were blindsided by the content of the presentation, but admit they did not follow the prescribed procedure for notifying parents. The school has arranged a social worker to help support affected students.

SOROS: The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. George Soros’ son Alex has joined those attacked Harrison Butker’s pro-family commencement speech. Patrick Reilly, the president of the Cardinal Newman Society, noted that conservative, pro-family Catholics like Butker stand in “stark contrast to the radicalism and confusion at most other colleges.”

TRANS: Alliance for Defending Freedom (ADF) is representing a teenaged female athlete in West Virginia against the Biden administration’s new Title IX rules requiring schools to allow trans males to compete against females. Just one of these twerps not only defeated nearly 300 girls more than 700 times in middle school track events, but also sexually harassed actual girls, forcing them to avoid the girls’ locker room altogether.

2024: CLICK https://x.com/alx/status/1732229596513259839 [2:42] to hear Donald Trump say he doesn’t think Joe Biden will make it to the 2024 election.

CLICK https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1755994817849421911 [1:31] to see a montage of evidence that he’s absolutely right.

CATHOLIC: [5:07] – A “proudly gay female” who goes by Jetty Nique attempted to receive Holy Eucharist at the 10 a.m. Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in St. Cloud, FL. Because she didn’t open her mouth or reply “Amen” when he said, “Body of Christ,” Father Rodriguez asked her when she has last received the Sacrament or gone to Confession. She refused to tell him, so he gave her only a blessing.

She re-presented herself for Communion at the 12 p.m. Mass, at which point he said he was not judging her but needed to know if she had gone to Confession. She told him it was “not his business” then extended her arm and crumbled several consecrated hosts. The priest struggled to restrain the woman as she refused to let go of the hosts. When she pushed him, the priest, unable to use one hand because he was holding the ciborium, bit her hand so she would let go of the hosts. She was immediately asked to leave.” 

She reported the incident to the police as assault. “He wouldn’t give me the cookie. I don’t know if it was the way I was dressed, or if it is what I like,” she told police. The priest informed them that yes, “I bit her, I am not denying that. I am defending myself and the sacrament.” The full video and the police report show the woman initiated physical contact and acted inappropriately.

According to the local media, the St. Cloud police department has handed the case over to the Florida Attorney General’s office for further investigation.  The Diocese of Orlando has defended Father Rodriguez saying, “he was simply attempting to prevent an act of desecration of the Holy Communion, which, as a priest, Father Rodriguez is bound by duty to protect.”

COVID-19: The NY Post articles linked below details how NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens deliberately deleted government records and used his private email account to deliberately dodge records requests from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. More than one email show that Tony Fauci was involved in preventing the victims of his government mandates from knowing knowing the facts behind them all.

EVs: The Biden admin set a goal of building half a million electric vehicle charging stations in the United States by the year 2030. During the three years that Mayor Pete has been in charge of Transpo, they have built eight. I’m not complaining about the lack of EV stations, but I surely would like to know what they did with the $7.5 BILLION we taxpayers got dinged for this long con back in 2021.

PHILATELY: Even if you’re not interested in stamps or space flight, this episode is worth watching. [8:18] – “No idea what this event was.” ::sigh:: I was in COLLEGE when this happened.

Democrats Weaponize the Justice System

The following is by Catherine Yang at The Epoch Times:

After six weeks, former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial is nearing an end, with closing arguments set to begin May 28. Here’s what to know to catch up with the case.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, a class E felony.

New York Business Law 175.10 states: “A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof.

The second crime in this case is conspiracy “to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means,” say prosecutors, but Trump was not directly charged with conspiracy. 

The 34 allegedly falsified records are 11 checks cut to Michael Cohen, ex-lawyer to Trump, and the corresponding vouchers and invoices. Prosecutors allege these payments, categorized as legal expenses, were reimbursement for money Cohen paid to Stephanie Clifford, better known as adult actress Stormy Daniels, as part of a scheme to influence the 2016 elections.

To prove their case, prosecutors need to show that Trump had the intent to defraud – more specifically, the intent to conceal the alleged conspiracy – when causing these records to be created. There is no proof requirement that the goal of the conspiracy was to promote the election of a person by unlawful means, or the extent of Trump’s participation. The jury will be instructed on the concept of accessorial liability, which explains that Trump did not have to commit the crimes himself in order to be criminally liable.

On the witness stand, Cohen painted the picture of urgency in mid-October 2016: representatives for Stormy Daniels were pressing him to close the deal on her story of an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, or it would go to another news outlet. Meanwhile, he claimed his boss instructed him to “delay, delay, delay,” because if they could push it past the election in just a few weeks, they wouldn’t need to pay; the story would no longer matter.

Clifford declared the contract null and void, and Cohen caved. He testified that, with Trump’s approval, he made a $130,000 payment.

Cohen also testified to being intensely angry later that year, when he discovered his bonus had been cut by two-thirds from what he typically received. It prompted discussions with former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who purportedly drew up plans to reimburse Cohen $130,000 for the payment to Clifford and $50,000 for an earlier payment to Red Finch he said he still hadn’t been reimbursed for. The sum was then doubled to $360,000 to account for taxes, and then Weisselberg added $60,000 to supplement Cohen’s bonus.

Prosecutors had claimed Weisselberg’s “grossing up” the figures for tax purposes was evidence he intended to conceal reimbursement as income, satisfying the elements of the crime.

Weisselberg, currently serving a five-month prison sentence for perjury in a separate case, did not testify.

Jurors were told to expect a long day when they come back from the Memorial Day long weekend.

On Tuesday, prosecutors will sum up their case by reminding jurors of what they believe is the most compelling evidence. Beyond Cohen’s and Clifford’s testimonies, most witnesses were called for to authenticate records like call logs, texts, and emails, which were then entered into evidence.

But for the defense, especially having called only two witnesses, this will be a key moment to present their own narrative.

Defense attorneys are expected to argue that nothing criminal occurred as non-disclosure agreements are legal, as is the payment of an attorney for legal services, and that influencing an election through lawful means cannot be a crime.

They will not be allowed to offer their interpretation of the statutes invoked in the prosecutors’ novel legal theory, as it is the judge’s job to instruct the jury on how to interpret the law.

But, they can be expected to try to poke as many holes they can find in the evidence prosecutors presented, arguing the district attorney failed to meet the burden of proving Trump had any intent to defraud.

These summations should take up the better part of the day, and the judge expects his instructions to last an hour.

Then it is up to the jury to deliberate. They will have as long as they need, but if the 12 jurors cannot come to a unanimous verdict, the result is a mistrial.

LOCKDOWN: Remember the New Jersey gym owners, Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, who opened up during lockdowns and got slapped with $165,000 in fines by the state? During the pandemic, they pointed out the hypocrisy of the state declaring that liquor stores were “essential”, but places where people could come to work on their physical and mental health had to close. I’d like to ditto that for churches, which were also forced to close, while casinos were allowed to open. After a four year battle, a judge has cleared Smith and Trumbetti of every one of the more than 80 charges New Jersey laid against them.

BIDENOMICS: When I was a kid, my father rarely did any grocery shopping. But one day he decided we should really stock up, so he and our mom took me and my little brother. We each took a cart, which he filled to overflowing. One of them had nothing in it but meat.

NIH: On Thursday, National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Lawrence Tabak finally admitted to Congress that U.S. taxpayers did, in fact, fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

He and Fauci have both been saying for years that this never happened. And it certainly should not have happened, particularly during the years when it was specifically banned by federal law. BUT, says Tabak, the gain-of-function research the NIH approved and used our money to helped fund wasn’t the BAD kind. Really!

TRANS: A study entitled “Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery” was published in Cureus on April 2, 2024. It reported on the results of research, funded in part by the NIH, that examined health care data from more than 90 million patients across the U.S.

From this data, they isolated adults aged 18-60 who had attempted or committed suicide and divided them up by (a) those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery, (b) those who had had a tubal ligation or vasectomy, and (c) those who had had neither.

They found that those who had had so-called “gender affirmation” surgery were five times more likely to self-harm than those who had had tubal ligation or vasectomy and twelve times more likely than those who had had neither.

TRUMP: Michael Cohen, who has done prison time for lying under oath, has been exposed as a man who is willing to ::gasp:: lie under oath. Cohen was the only real witness the prosecution had.

The trial is expected to last a couple more weeks as the defense does their thing.
