What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundations? In this thought-provoking exploration of America's Christian heritage, Jesse Cope connects seemingly disparate current events—from China's role in the fentanyl crisis to universities' embrace of DEI policies—to reveal a common thread: our collective unwillingness to acknowledge ideologies fundamentally opposed to our founding principles.The heart of this episode centers on an illuminating examination of the 1811 New York Supreme Court case "People v. Ruggles." Through Chief Justice Kent's powerful opinion, we discover how early American jurisprudence understood religious freedom in a way dramatically different from today's interpretations. Kent unequivocally declared America "a Christian people" whose morality was "deeply engrafted upon Christianity," distinguishing the true faith from what he called "imposters." This historical perspective challenges our modern assumption that the First Amendment requires treating all religions equally.Cope brilliantly articulates that the First Amendment was never intended to "separate God from the state" but rather to prevent the government from favoring particular denominations—a crucial distinction lost in contemporary discourse. Drawing from James Chapter 4, he confronts listeners with a fundamental choice between friendship with the world and friendship with God, warning that pursuit of the former inevitably leads to conflict with divine principles.For anyone concerned about America's spiritual direction, this episode offers both sobering analysis and hopeful perspective. As Calvin Coolidge once observed, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease." Have you made God your checkbox or your compass? The answer to this question might determine not just your personal faith journey but our collective future as a nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What happens when a society abandons its moral foundation? In this thought-provoking exploration of faith, speech, and civil order, we journey through James 3 to understand the devastating power of our words and the necessity of taming our tongues. "The tongue is a fire," Scripture warns—capable of burning down relationships, communities, and even nations when left unchecked.Drawing from the fascinating 1811 New York Supreme Court case People v. Ruggles, we examine how America's founders viewed Christianity not merely as a personal belief system but as the essential moral framework for maintaining civil society. Chief Justice Kent's opinion that "whatever strikes at the root of Christianity tends manifestly to the dissolution of civil government" serves as a prophetic warning for our current cultural moment.Have we conducted a dangerous experiment by removing Christian principles from public life? Look around at the state of our marriages, families, communities, schools, and institutions. The correlation between our rejection of biblical morality and societal breakdown becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. This isn't about imposing a particular denomination—it's about recognizing that certain fundamental principles are necessary for maintaining order and protecting freedoms.Prayer doesn't require theological complexity or fancy language. God simply wants us to talk to Him as a good father wants to hear from his children. Thank Him for something, ask forgiveness for shortcomings, and pray for those around you. These simple actions connect us to the source of wisdom that can heal our divided hearts and troubled nation.Take a moment today to consider how your words affect those around you. Are you bringing healing or division? Building up or tearing down? The health of our relationships, communities, and country might depend on your answer.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Suspected assassin Luigi Mangione sat shackled before the New York Supreme Court, his maroon sweater, collared shirt, and orange shoes lending an almost surreal normalcy to the scene. At just 26 years old, Mangione faces accusations that would forever alter the lives of everyone involved. Charged with the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the case against Mangione has unraveled into a spectacle of political intrigue, social commentary, and legal complexities—a reflection of a fractured system and the unpredictable nature of public reaction. The courtroom was tense as Mangione leaned toward the microphone, chains clinking faintly against the table, to utter his plea: not guilty. It was a single moment, yet one weighted with significance. For prosecutors, it marked the formal beginning of a case they've described as “a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder”—a crime intended to terrorize. For Mangione's defense, it was a critical pivot in their strategy, one complicated by the unusual dual tracks of state and federal charges. A Crime That Shocked the Nation On a cold December morning, Brian Thompson was walking toward an investor conference in midtown Manhattan, a routine step in his high-powered career. Then came the sound of gunfire. Witnesses reported seeing a man fleeing the scene, leaving behind a chilling clue: bullet casings inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” The messages were unmistakable—a direct nod to the controversial practices of the health insurance industry. Police arrived within minutes, but the shooter had vanished into the city. Thompson's murder sent shockwaves through corporate America. His role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare made him a symbol of the very industry criticized for prioritizing profit over people. The crime scene, with its cryptic clues, hinted at a killer with a calculated message. Within hours, law enforcement agencies were working together to track down the suspect. Five days later, Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald's. Police found a gun matching the ballistics from the scene and a fake ID in his possession. Also seized was a notebook expressing deep hostility toward the health insurance industry, particularly its executives. Legal Maze: Dual Prosecutions Mangione now faces parallel prosecutions. In state court, the Manhattan district attorney charged him with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism. At a press conference announcing the charges, DA Alvin Bragg emphasized the calculated nature of the crime, calling it a “killing intended to evoke terror.” The federal charges, on the other hand, include terrorism-related offenses that could lead to the death penalty if Mangione is convicted. Legal experts have noted the rarity of such simultaneous cases, with some criticizing the potential for conflicting strategies. Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione's defense attorney, has not minced words. During a federal hearing, she described the dual prosecutions as “very confusing” and “highly unusual.” The federal charges, she argued, could undermine Mangione's ability to mount a coherent defense in the state trial, which is expected to proceed first. “We're navigating uncharted waters,” she said. A Divided Public Reaction While prosecutors argue Mangione's actions were nothing short of domestic terrorism, public opinion has proven far more divided. Demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse during Mangione's arraignment, clutching signs that ranged from “Justice for Thompson” to “Free Mangione.” The latter group, a vocal minority, has cast Mangione as a vigilante hero, claiming his alleged actions were a dramatic—if extreme—response to perceived corruption in the healthcare industry. Social media has amplified this polarization. Hashtags like #MangioneTheMartyr and #HealthcareJustice have trended alongside condemnations of the crime. Some supporters have even gone so far as to fundraise for Mangione's legal defense. They point to the bullet casings and notebook as evidence of a broader political statement, rather than an act of senseless violence. Not all of Mangione's supporters are focused on his alleged motives. Some have fixated on his appearance, dubbing him the “handsome assassin.” This bizarre twist has only added to the media frenzy surrounding the case, with tabloid headlines oscillating between serious analysis and absurd fascination. The Evidence Piles Up The prosecution's case appears formidable. Ballistics tests have matched the gun found on Mangione to the weapon used in Thompson's murder. The notebook seized during his arrest contains detailed grievances against the health insurance industry, as well as chilling references to “making an example” of wealthy executives. Prosecutors argue these details demonstrate premeditation. DA Bragg has leaned heavily on the terrorism charges, framing the murder as an attack designed to intimidate a broader audience. “This wasn't just about Brian Thompson,” Bragg said. “This was about sending a message.” Yet Mangione's defense team has pushed back, questioning the integrity of the investigation. They have raised concerns about potential bias in the handling of evidence and have hinted at exploring Mangione's mental state as a factor in their defense. Agnifilo has also criticized the public framing of the case, arguing that the media's portrayal of her client has made a fair trial nearly impossible. A Broader Conversation Thompson's murder has reignited scrutiny of the health insurance industry, bringing books like Jay M. Feinman's “Delay, Deny, Defend” back into the public discourse. Feinman's work, which critiques the industry's alleged tactics of avoiding payouts, has been cited as eerily similar to the inscriptions found on the bullet casings. While there is no direct evidence linking Mangione to Feinman's book, the parallels have not gone unnoticed. The case has also prompted discussions about the role of terrorism charges in domestic crimes. Critics argue that labeling Mangione's actions as terrorism risks conflating political dissent with violent extremism. Others counter that the label is appropriate given the calculated nature of the crime and its intent to intimidate. What Comes Next? The state trial is expected to begin within months, with the federal case likely to follow. As the legal process unfolds, the public will be watching closely, not just for the outcome, but for what the case reveals about broader societal tensions. Mangione's fate may hinge on whether the jury views him as a cold-blooded killer or a misguided figure acting out of desperation. Either way, the trial promises to be a defining moment in the intersection of justice, politics, and public perception. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Sean "Diddy" Combs Secures Legal Access to Laptop Amid Sex Crime Charges Sean "Diddy" Combs has been granted access to a laptop in jail to review discovery materials as he prepares for his trial on federal sex crime charges. The decision comes after Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs' bail for the third time, citing concerns about potential witness tampering. Defense attorneys advocated for Combs' access to the laptop following the bail denial. On Thursday, Subramanian ruled that the Bad Boy Records founder could use a laptop pre-loaded with discovery materials in his unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The device, however, will be strictly limited in functionality. According to Subramanian's order, the laptop will only allow viewing of materials and cannot be used for note-taking or storage. The order mandates that Combs must be given access to the laptop "seven days per week from 8:00 AM to 3:30 p.m." Any additional access will require coordination with the government, and disputes will be resolved by the court. The charges against Combs, filed in September in Manhattan federal court, include sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated elaborate "freak offs," involving male sex workers and women who were coerced or forced into participating. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The high-profile case is slated for trial in May 2025. Meanwhile, legal challenges for Combs continue to mount. On Thursday, three anonymous males filed new lawsuits in New York Supreme Court, accusing the music mogul of sexual assault. The allegations and legal proceedings are the latest developments in a case that has drawn significant public attention. The trial will likely examine claims about the operation of Combs' business empire and its alleged involvement in criminal activities. #SeanCombs #LegalAccess #SexTraffickingCase #DiddyTrial #BrooklynDetention #FederalCharges #CelebrityNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This Day in Legal History: Province of Canada CreatedOn July 23, 1840, the British Parliament passed the Act of Union, a pivotal piece of legislation that led to the creation of the Province of Canada. This act merged the colonies of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) and Lower Canada (present-day Quebec) into a single entity. The Act of Union was a response to the political unrest and demands for reform that had been growing in both colonies, particularly after the Rebellions of 1837-1838.The Act of Union aimed to unify the administrative structures of the two colonies, addressing inefficiencies and fostering a more cohesive government. It established a single legislative assembly, with equal representation from both regions, despite significant differences in their populations and cultural backgrounds. This structure was intended to assimilate the French-speaking population of Lower Canada into the English-speaking majority of Upper Canada, though it often led to tension and conflict.Taking effect on February 10, 1841, the Act marked the beginning of a new political era in Canadian history, laying foundational governance structures that would influence future developments leading up to Canadian Confederation in 1867. The Province of Canada would eventually split into the separate provinces of Ontario and Quebec, but the Act of Union remains a significant moment in the evolution of Canada's political landscape.The Ninth Circuit's updated case management system is being used as a model for the federal judiciary's administrative office to modernize its electronic filing program, according to Chief Judge Mary Murguia. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is collaborating with the Administrative Office of the US Courts to replace the CM/ECF system with a new cloud-based system by the end of 2025. This modernization effort aims to enhance the efficiency of filing legal documents and accessing case information.Since October, the Ninth Circuit has processed all new cases through its Appellate Case Management System, with older reopened cases still using the previous system. This development was a joint effort with the Second Circuit. Judge Murguia noted a significant decline in case filings over the past five years, with the Ninth Circuit now having fewer than 7,000 pending cases—a 23% reduction from 2019 and the lowest number in decades.Ninth Circuit's Case Filing System Used as Model for JudiciaryA New York appellate judge has affirmed that individuals who file complaints against attorneys in disciplinary cases have a First Amendment right to attend related hearings, view pertinent documents, and access some final decisions. This ruling emphasizes the importance of public scrutiny in holding judges accountable, particularly those serving fourteen-year terms appointed by elected governors. The decision, issued by Judge Victor Marrero of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, specifically impacts the New York Supreme Court's Second Appellate Department, which disciplines attorneys based on recommendations from the Attorney Grievance Committee.Judge Marrero asserted that transparency is essential for public trust in the judicial process. However, he allowed an exception for dispositions made by the chief attorney, whose role involves preliminary investigations. These do not need to be public to maintain investigation flexibility and protect attorneys from baseless accusations.The case originated from complaints filed in 2021 against attorneys in the Queens County District Attorney's Office. Despite these complaints being publicized online, none resulted in public discipline. The plaintiffs argued that public access was necessary, while New York City's former corporation counsel claimed it was a misuse of the process for political gain.Marrero dismissed Presiding Justice Hector LaSalle's defense of legislative immunity, ruling that withholding information is not considered policymaking. He also refuted the state's claim that providing access to certain records would necessitate a substantial overhaul of court operations, stating that procedural adjustments, even if cumbersome, are not illegal.New York Judge Peels Back Curtain on Attorney Misconduct CasesThe First Circuit appears likely to uphold a noncompete agreement against a former DraftKings executive, Michael Hermalyn, who sought to join rival sports-betting firm Fanatics. During oral arguments, Judge O. Rogeriee Thompson questioned why California's worker-friendly policies should outweigh Massachusetts' business protections. Hermalyn, who relocated to California, argued for the state's ban on noncompete clauses to apply. However, the contract stipulates Massachusetts law, as DraftKings is based there.DraftKings accused Hermalyn of violating the agreement by joining a competitor and stealing company secrets. Hermalyn's legal team contended that California's interest in attracting workers should take precedence. Conversely, DraftKings' counsel argued that state laws are equal and California's stance should not override Massachusetts' policies.A federal district judge previously prohibited Hermalyn from working for competitors, dismissing his reliance on California law. This case arises amid the Federal Trade Commission's broader move to ban most noncompete agreements, although senior executives are currently exempt.Hermalyn's attempts to establish California residency involved leasing an apartment, buying a car, and other actions. Massachusetts law typically enforces contract terms unless they violate public policy. Hermalyn's counsel asserted California has the most substantial interest in this matter, urging respect for its policies. However, Judge William Kayatta expressed concerns about prioritizing one state's laws over others in similar circumstances.DraftKings' attorney warned that ruling in favor of Hermalyn could enable others to evade contractual obligations by relocating to California, stressing the need to protect Massachusetts businesses from such tactics. DraftKings also alleged Hermalyn's residency claim was a ploy and accused him of downloading sensitive files before departing.DraftKings' Noncompete Clause Meets Supportive First CircuitElon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), is being sued by the PR firm Multiply for trademark infringement. Filed in a California federal court, the lawsuit claims that X's use of the "X" trademark for social-media marketing services causes consumer confusion and infringes on Multiply's established trademark rights. Multiply's spokesperson accused Musk of stealing their established identity and stated the necessity to protect their mark in court.X rebranded from Twitter to X last year under Musk's ownership. This rebranding has already resulted in confusion among Multiply's clients, who overlap with X Corp's clientele. Multiply, which has worked with brands like Arizona, Corona, and Liquid Death, adopted the "X" branding in 2019 and holds a federal trademark for its "X" logo. Multiply is seeking an injunction to stop X Corp from using the "X" trademark and is asking for monetary damages. This lawsuit is one among several, as other companies, including X Social Media, have also filed infringement claims against Musk's rebranded platform. The case is DB Communications LLC d/b/a Multiply v. X Corp, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 3:24-cv-04402.X Corp hit with lawsuit from PR firm over 'X' trademark | ReutersIn my column this week, I discuss the pressing need for the IRS to bolster its cryptocurrency compliance measures to close the crypto tax gap and combat illicit activities. Cryptocurrencies are often used for illegal activities, and many tax evaders in the crypto space prefer to remain anonymous to distance themselves from their actions.A recent report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) highlights significant gaps in the IRS's cryptocurrency tax enforcement. By improving compliance, the IRS can enhance transparency in financial transactions, address the crypto tax gap, and reduce illegal activities facilitated by digital currencies.Enforcing cryptocurrency taxes could yield substantial revenue and mitigate black market activities that harm the economy. Despite the potential benefits, the IRS's current efforts are inadequate. The TIGTA report notes that the IRS investigated only 390 cases involving digital currency between 2018 and 2023, with just 224 cases recommended for prosecution. The IRS's broader operation, “Hidden Treasure,” has focused more on training and tool acquisition than on actively pursuing crypto tax evaders.The use of digital currencies has exploded, with over 26,000 different types and a total market value exceeding $1.7 trillion. Estimates suggest that 21% to 40% of US adults have owned some form of virtual currency. Yet, auditing just 390 files is like pulling a few blades of grass from an acre and assuming a complete understanding of the field.Enhanced cryptocurrency compliance can significantly disrupt illicit activities reliant on digital currency anonymity. Cryptocurrencies are linked to crimes such as drug and human trafficking, ransomware, and terrorism. The IRS's $625,000 bounty for cracking the anonymity of Monero underscores the value of identifying cryptocurrency tax cheats.The IRS needs a coordinated approach to data sharing and analysis, leveraging artificial intelligence to handle vast data sets and uncover patterns. Financial or asset tracing, previously unfeasible on a large scale, becomes possible with advanced technology. Form 1040 already asks filers about digital assets; this data should be cross-referenced with information from exchanges and audits, focusing on high-income individuals for maximum audit returns.The TIGTA report emphasizes the urgency for the IRS to develop comprehensive compliance strategies, employing advanced data analytics and collaborating with blockchain analytics firms. The IRS must also work with other agencies to curb illegal cryptocurrency activities. While individual cryptocurrencies may remain untraceable, large transactions leave traces in the traditional banking system, providing crucial data points for analysis.The IRS has ample information on digital currency holders but may lack the context needed to connect taxes owed to individual taxpayers. Contextualizing existing data is key to closing the crypto tax gap and disrupting criminal enterprises reliant on cryptocurrency anonymity.To Improve Crypto Tax Gap, IRS Must Enhance Compliance Efforts This is a public episode.

Title: New York Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Donald Trump's Gag Order AppealThe New York Supreme Court delved the final blow to Donald Trump when it declined to hear his appeal about a gag order. In a pivotal decision on Tuesday, the court underscored the boundaries of the law, leaving the communication restrictions placed on the former president intact. The decision comes as a result of gag restrictions following his felony charges, placing the magnate and politician under strict privacy protocols.Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, continues to find himself in the legal spotlight post-presidency. The gag order appeal was notably one of the most anticipated decisions the New York Supreme Court was expected to make. However, their Tuesday ruling, regarded by many as a firm and unprejudiced application of the law, has now left Trump to maneuver within the boundaries of the gag order.Broadly speaking, the gag order prevents Trump from commenting publicly regarding his felony charges, which are undisclosed here due to legal restrictions. However, this hasn't hindered the underlying public interest around this case, as both legal pundits and common citizens view the court's decision as a reinforcement of the proverbial claim that 'no one is above the law'.In the wake of the court's decision, many questions arise concerning the implications of this ruling on Donald Trump's long-term political career. The former POTUS, famed for his active social presence and sharp communication style, now finds himself restricted from commenting on the charges that have been continually shadowing his public image.The New York Supreme Court's decision to not hear Donald Trump's gag order appeal is, without a doubt, a critical chapter in Trump's complex narrative. While it is yet to be seen how Trump responds to these restrictions, the ruling indeed serves as a stern reminder about the magnitude and scope of the law, regardless of an individual's political stature.However, amidst the buzz surrounding Trump's legal battles, there has not been any indication that public interest has swayed negatively. Instead, this development appears to have only further cemented the public's curiosity in the former president's ongoing narrative. The general sentiment remains one of anticipation, as observers wait for the next development in Trump's legal story. Whether you view Donald Trump as a controversial politician, a successful businessman, or a reality television personality, the current legal chain of events involving his gag order appeal continues to entrance the public sphere. As we wait for the ramifications of the New York Supreme Court's landmark ruling, the world watches, eager and wondering what the next steps in Donald Trump's path will be.

The Trump defense rested today in the criminal hush money trial without calling the former president to the witness stand after he said at one point that he'd testify. The trial is adjourned until next Tuesday when closing arguments are expected. CNN legal commentator Robert Ray, counsel to former President Trump in his first impeachment trial, and former New York Supreme Court judge Diane Kiesel break down what happens next. Plus, a video was posted on the former president's Truth Social account Monday that included images of a fake newspaper article that contained the words "unified Reich." The video was removed from his account Tuesday morning, and a Trump campaign spokesperson said in a statement that the video was not created by the campaign and was “reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the president was in court.” CNN political commentators Van Jones and Alyssa Farah Griffin talk about how something like this happens and why it took so long to take it down.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We're currently navigating through the sixth week of the former President Donald Trump's trial concerning allegations of falsifying corporate records, commonly known in the media as 'hush money', and the developments suggest a shift in the winds. Presiding Justice Juan Merchan of New York Supreme Court commenced the week with a significant announcement, setting the stage for the final arguments to take place in the forthcoming week. Anticipations are rife regarding the end of Michael Cohen's testimony on Monday, which has been a focal point of interest throughout the trial. Trump's legal counsel successfully utilized Cohen's previous law infringements and deceitful history, in an attempt to question his trustworthiness last week. The prosecution, however, insists that additional witnesses and financial records endorse Cohen's declarations. Justice Merchan offered some guidance to the defense team, outlining areas for former Federal Election Commission chairman, Bradley A. Smith's testimony. The defense aims to exploit Smith's knowledge to convince the jury that Trump did not intend to manipulate the 2016 election through his alleged misinterpretation of his business records. Parsing federal election laws is the proposed route, although, the experts are forbidden to explain the law or give interpretations, as per Merchan's direction. He expressed concern that Smith's testimony on campaign finance law would inevitably involve discussions or references regarding federal law precedents or the underlying intentions behind such rules.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the evening of March 24, 1990, nearly one hundred patrons gathered to celebrate Carnivale at the Happy Land Social Club, a small informal night club in the Bronx that catered to a mostly Honduran clientele. The evening took a deadly turn when, around 3:30 am, an explosion of fire roared up the stairway leading to the second-floor club, blocking the only exit from the building and trapping the patrons in a room rapidly filling with toxic smoke and fire. It's unknown how many patrons managed to escape the fire, but by the time the fire department had extinguished the blaze, eighty-seven people were dead.Thank you to the amazing Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research!ReferencesBarbanel, Josh. 1990.

A panel of New York appellate judges has reduced Donald Trump's bond in the New York Attorney General's civil case to $175 million, an amount he can probably afford. Ken and I discuss possible reasons the court took this surprise action — as is typical for this kind of decision in New York, the judges didn't really explain their reasoning — and the likely course of Trump's appeal to come later this year. Meanwhile, in New York Supreme Court (which is the trial court), Trump's criminal trial over falsification of business records starts next month — we have pretrial updates, including on the gag order for the former president modeled on another recent gag order.Plus: why are law clerks quitting Judge Aileen Cannon's chambers?

A state appeals court on Wednesday declared as unconstitutional a New York City law permitting noncitizen voting in local elections—a victory for election integrity advocates and those opponents of the legislation who mounted the legal challenge. Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are asking New York Supreme Court judge Arthur Engoron to delay enforcing the $355-million civil fraud ruling against him for one month. In a letter to the judge yesterday, attorneys accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of rushing to enforce the judgement. Ms. James had threatened to seize President Trump's New York real estate properties if he couldn't pay the fine. And in Georgia, the Fulton County Board of Ethics has confirmed it will take up multiple complaints against Trump prosecutor Fani Willis.

Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. Donald Trump was in a D.C. court today as a federal appeals panel of judges expressed skepticism that the former president was immune from prosecution on charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election. The U.N. General Assembly held a meeting on the recent veto in the Security Council by the United States on a Gaza ceasefire resolution. The Supreme Court is considering the case of an Oregon man, Yonas Fikre, who was put on the “no-fly” list, then taken off and told he would not be put back based on current information. Fikre sued, alleging that the FBI violated his rights by putting him on the list. The government argues that the case is moot since he is no longer on the list. San Francisco has become the largest city in the nation to approve a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Israel's war on Gaza. The vote by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors was 8-3. It came after hours of emotional public testimony at a committee hearing yesterday and before the full board of supervisors last month. Bitterly cold nights in the San Joaquin Valley this winter have homeless people struggling to stay warm. In Fresno today people from the Homeless Union pleaded with city officials to expand the hours of warming centers, add more centers, and continue providing free transportation to warm spaces. It's estimated there are between four and five thousand homeless persons in the city.

Donald Trump Court Trials: Latest News and Events in the Past 48 HoursCivil Fraud Trial in New YorkOn Wednesday, November 1, 2023, the civil fraud trial against former President Donald Trump, his company, and two of his adult children continued in New York Supreme Court. The trial is being brought by the New York Attorney General's Office, which alleges that Trump and his company engaged in a "pattern of ongoing fraud" by misrepresenting the value of their assets to banks and insurers.During Wednesday's testimony, Donald Trump Jr. testified that he was not aware of any fraudulent activities at his father's company. He also said that he did not know about the disclaimers that his father's lawyers included in his financial statements.Criminal Investigation in GeorgiaOn Thursday, November 2, 2023, a judge in Georgia denied a motion by former President Donald Trump to quash a subpoena for his testimony in the criminal investigation into his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The investigation is being led by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.The subpoena is for Trump to appear before a grand jury on November 10, 2023. Trump has said that he will not testify, but he has not yet filed any legal challenges to the subpoena.AnalysisThe civil fraud trial in New York is the most significant legal challenge facing Donald Trump at this time. If the jury finds Trump and his company guilty, they could be ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.The criminal investigation in Georgia is also a serious threat to Trump. If he is indicted and convicted, he could face prison time.It is still too early to say how either of these cases will play out. However, both cases are being closely watched by legal experts and the public alike.

A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on September 19th, 2023. You can hear more reports on our homepage radiosweden.se, or in the app Sveriges Radio Play. Presenter: Dave RussellProducer: Kris Boswell

It's Wednesday, April 5th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Finnish Christian parliamentarian faces second trial Alliance Defending Freedom International released a statement last week on religious freedom in Finland.  It was the one-year anniversary of a legal victory for Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish Christian parliamentarian. She had been charged with hate speech for publicly expressing her Biblical views on marriage and sexuality. Despite the worldly Finish culture which rejects God's divine design, Genesis 2:24 says, “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.” However, Räsänen's case is not over as she faces a second trial. The prosecutor filed an appeal against her “not guilty” verdict and is demanding tens of thousands of Euros in fines.  Even though she won her first case, Räsänen said the process was like a punishment for her Christian beliefs. RASANEN: “I think that the process itself has been some kind of punishment, even though I got the acquittal from the court. It has been quite [a] hard time. But, at the same time, I have held that this has been my calling. It has been an honor for me to defend freedom of speech and freedom of faith.” Finland joins NATO Finland is also in the news for becoming the 31st member of the NATO military alliance yesterday, reports The Guardian. Russia's invasion of Ukraine precipitated Finland's decision to join the western military alliance. The Northern European country now has security guarantees from allied NATO countries like the U.S. in case of an invasion. Finland's new alliance is historic since the country has maintained neutrality since World War II. Trump arrested and arraigned in New York In the United States, former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to more than 30 felony charges after he was placed under arrest and arraigned in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg summarized the case against Trump. BRAGG: “Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump was arraigned on a New York Supreme Court indictment, returned by a Manhattan grand jury, on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Under New York State law, it is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud and an intent to conceal another crime. That is exactly what this case is about. Thirty-four false statements made to cover up other crimes.” Who is the Trump judge? Born in Columbia, the judge who will oversee Trump's trial is Juan Merchan, who grew up in New York from the age of six, the first in his family to graduate from college.  A former prosecutor, he has 16 years on the bench. Recently, he oversaw the five-week criminal trial of the Trump Organization which was convicted of 17 counts of tax fraud, reports The Associated Press. Judge Merchan also presided over the criminal case of Trump's former financial chief Allen Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty to his role in a 15-year-long tax-fraud scheme. Weisselberg admitted to evading taxes by accepting $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation and entered a plea agreement, in which he testified against The Trump Organization.  The judge sentenced him to five months in prison. On Truth Social, Trump said, “The judge HATES me!” Will Trump be issued a gag order? One significant issue is whether Donald Trump might be issued a gag order, effectively silencing his ability to speak out. Fox News host Tucker Carlson was aghast. CARLSON: “There are multiple reports tonight that [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg's office will seek a gag order when Trump is arraigned that would prevent Trump, on pain of going to prison, from talking about his case in public. But CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times and the Washington Post, all the completely filthy, corrupt liars in the media, handmaidens to power, they'll be able to say whatever they want, because apparently their coverage doesn't influence the jury.  Only the accused defending himself [does]. “Well, it's not only unconstitutional, baldly so, it's also completely immoral.  And, above all, in the middle of a presidential race, it's a subversion of democracy itself. The leading candidate from the other party doesn't get to talk or you send him to prison? Wake up.” Yesterday, Judge Merchan told Trump, to his face, that if he incited violence, he would issue a gag order. West Virginia bans transgender surgeries for kids More states are ending so-called “gender-affirming care” for children under the age of 18 pretending to be the opposite sex. Last Wednesday, West Virginia's Republican Governor Jim Justice signed a bill into law, banning puberty blockers and sex-mutilating surgeries for minors. West Virginia and Kentucky join nine other states in passing such legislation. Florida Senate passed Heartbeat Bill On Monday, the Florida Senate voted 26-13 in favor of a heartbeat bill. The measure prohibits the killing of unborn babies after a heartbeat is detectable with some exceptions. The Heartbeat Protection Act now heads to the state's GOP-controlled House of Representatives. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill also includes tens of millions of dollars in funding for pregnancy centers in the Sunshine State. NASA to send Christian astronaut around moon And finally, NASA announced on Monday a four-person crew it plans to send around the moon next year. The mission is part of the Artemis II program. NASA hopes to establish a long-term human presence on the moon and eventually send people to Mars. One of the astronauts is Victor Glover, an outspoken Christian. He previously spent 168 days on the International Space Station for Expedition 64 that began in 2020.  Glover was known for taking his Bible and communion cups. He joined his church services back home virtually and took communion every week while in space. During his time on the International Space Station, Glover tweeted his view of the sunset, saying, “I love sunrises and sunsets. … They remind me of the scripture in Psalm 30, ‘weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.'” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, April 5th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss John Fetterman's painful performance in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate debate and how Fetterman's wife and state Democrats failed to protect a man who clearly needs much more time to recover. They also cheer Lee Zeldin for eviscerating New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on crime, the economy, freedom, and the nursing home scandal which still demands accountability. Finally, they applaud the New York Supreme Court for striking down New York City's policy of firing city employees who did not get a COVID shot and ordering those employees reinstated and given back pay.

Now… onto the news: https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-new-york-city-ordered-by-court-to-reinstate-all-those-fired-over-covid-vaccine-mandates?utm_campaign=64487 New York City ordered by court to reinstate all those fired over Covid vaccine mandates On Tuesday, the New York Supreme Court ruled that New York City must reinstate all employees that were fired because of their vaccination status. The order also states that for those fired, backpay must be issued. The lawsuit was filed against the City of New York, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York Department of Sanitation, Commissioner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene David Chokshi, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "Though vaccination should be encouraged, public employees should not have been terminated for their noncompliance," the court stated. "Based upon the Petitioners’ vague denials of their exemptions, the fact they were kept at full duty for several months while their exemptions were pending, the Mayor’s Executive Order granting exemptions to certain classes of people, and the lifting of the private sector mandate, this Court finds the Commissioners Orders of October 20, 2021, and December 13, 2021, as well as the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 62 to be arbitrary and capricious," the court ruled. The petitioners of the suit are former Department of Sanitation employees that were terminated from their positions in February 2022. The petitioners argued that Adam’s Executive Order No. 62, which provided exemptions for athletes, performers, and other artists, "rendered the public employee vaccination mandate arbitrary and capricious or unconstitutional." The court noted that all but one of the petitioners applied for exemptions, and questioned why the city could not keep its vaccine or test policy. The court did not argue against issuing temporary vaccination mandates in a public health emergency, but added, "however, ordering and enforcing that vaccination policy on only a portion of the populace for an indefinite period of time, is akin to legislating." The court also stated, "being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19. As of the day of this Decision, CDC guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals." "The Petitioners should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves. "We have learned through the course of the pandemic that the vaccine against Covid-19 is not absolute. breakthrough cases occur, even for those who have been vaccinated and boosted. President Joseph Biden has said that the pandemic is over. The State of New York ended the Covid-19 state of emergency over a month ago," the court said. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-hillary-clinton-already-accusing-right-wing-extremists-of-stealing-2024-election?utm_campaign=64487 Hillary Clinton already accusing ‘right-wing extremists’ of stealing 2024 election https://twitter.com/i/status/1583496354734538756 - Play Video Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a video posted to social media accused "right-wing extremists" of having "a plan to literally steal the next presidential election." The video was posted by an organization called Indivisible which claims on its website to be "a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda." The failed presidential candidate has repeatedly questioned the results of the 2016 election. In 2021, Clinton said that Russian President Vladimir Putin helped to rig the 2016 election against her in an interview on MSNBC. "Putin is the great disrupter. He has a clear mission to undermine democracies, first and foremost, the United States." Almost immediately after the statement, Clinton also claimed that anyone who disputed the results of the 2020 election was working for the Kremlin, either directly or indirectly. According to the organization's website, "Indivisible was founded in response to Trump’s election - but we know that Trump is a symptom of a sick democracy, not its cause. We face two fundamental problems: first, our democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy." The groups added, "in the last few decades, an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy and cement their hold on power permanently. That’s how we ended up with Trump. We have to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial “we the people,” one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future." The group has its own 501c3, 501c4, and PAC. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/elon-musk-twitter-deal-closing/2022/10/25/id/1093350/ Musk May Close Twitter Deal by Friday Elon Musk has pledged to close his $44 billion Twitter Inc. deal by Friday in a video conference call with bankers who are helping fund the deal, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The banks have finished putting together the final credit agreement and are in the process of signing the documentation, according to the report, in one of the last steps in moving funds to Musk. Twitter and Musk's lawyers were not immediately available for comment. Musk has pledged to provide $46.5 billion in equity and debt financing for the acquisition, which covers the $44 billion price tag and closing costs.

The Biden administration aims to grow U.S. offshore wind generation from less than 1 gigawatt currently to 30 gigawatts by the end of 2030 as part of its aggressive green energy transition, according to a White House fact sheet. However, wind executives are concerned that the administration’s target is too ambitious as projects are constantly delayed by a permitting bottleneck and expensive leases, the FT reported. Various energy projects including offshore wind developments face difficulties in receiving correct permitting from the government, which delays construction and increases costs, according to the FT. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia proposed a permitting bill in September that could have accelerated the federal permitting of key wind, solar and fossil fuel projects; however, the measure was pulled from a recent government funding bill after it failed to gain sufficient support in the Senate. Manchin’s bill would have also given the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) more power to expedite the permitting of transmission lines that transport electricity produced by offshore wind and other renewables to urban areas. Roughly 77 gigawatts of offshore wind are awaiting transmission, according to the Department of Energy’s August wind energy report. Executives also claim prices of federal leases for offshore wind developments are too high, which makes it difficult for wind developers to make profits, the FT reported. The federal New York Bight offshore wind auction, which offered six lease areas totaling over 488,000 acres, received $4.37 billion total in winning bids, representing the nation’s highest-grossing competitive offshore energy lease sale in history, according to an Interior Department press release. Inflation is a further concern for wind firms and their equipment manufacturers as the cost of materials continues to rise, according to the FT. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2022/10/24/new-border-patrol-numbers-show-an-alarming-number-of-terrorists-entering-the-us-n2614917 New Border Patrol Numbers Show an Alarming Number of Terrorists Entering the U.S. New numbers released in a calculated, late Friday night news dump over the weekend show an alarming and increasing number of suspected terrorists are entering the United States through the southern border with Mexico. According to the data, Border Patrol agents have encountered 98 suspected terrorists in fiscal year 2022. In 2021, that number was 15. In 2020, it was three and in 2019, zero. "The Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) – also known as the “watchlist” – is the U.S. government’s database that contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. The TSDS originated as the consolidated terrorist watchlist to house information on known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) but has evolved over the last decade to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals," U.S. Customs and Border Protection explains. The current number only includes suspected terrorists who were caught, not the number embedded in the estimated one million illegal aliens who evaded law enforcement while entering the country and disappearing into American communities. Republican Congressman Andy Biggs, who represents Arizona's 5th Congressional District, is sounding the alarm about the increase.

Griner appeared via video at the Moscow Regional Court from a penal colony outside the city, where she is imprisoned and will remain. Griner was convicted on August 4 after police found vape canisters containing cannabis oil at the Moscow airport where she landed. Griner's appeal was rejected after a ruling on Tuesday to uphold the sentence. The ruling did state that Griner will have time served in prison with her pre-trial detention now being included in her sentence, with each day of pre-trial detention being counted as 1.5 days in prison. Griner will thus have to serve around eight years in a Russian prison, reports AP. Griner's arrest came as tensions were high between Russia and the United States and just days before Moscow made the call to send troops to Ukraine. Griner played basketball in a Russian women's league during the WNBA's off-season. Griner said that she packed the canisters accidentally and that she was prescribed cannabis for pain. She pleaded guilty to the charge. Griner's sentence of 9 years was close to the maximum of 10, with her legal team saying that the punishment was excessive. Even NBA star Steph Curry got in on the action in Brittany’s defense: https://twitter.com/i/status/1582558686869737474 - Play Video The White House told reporters following her conviction that they were aggressively pursuing every avenue to bring home Griner to the United States. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that negotiations between the Biden administration and Russia to bring Griner home remain ongoing. In July, there were reports that the Biden administration offered to exchange a convicted Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout for the release of Griner and Pail Whelan.
