Judge Who Granted P Diddy Win in His Case Rules Against Kari Lake Saving Taxpayers Money

A federal Judge in New York has halted the White House and US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) advisor Kari Lake’s efforts to deliver government efficiency to the leftwing agency that oversees the government’s international broadcaster, Voice of America.

Obama appointee James Paul Oetken was the first openly gay man to be confirmed as a federal judge in 2011. Earlier this week, he dismissed racketeering allegations in a $30 million sexual assault lawsuit against rapper P. Diddy involving allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking.

On Friday, he granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining them from implementing the President’s March 14 executive order, titled “Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy.”

This comes after a lawsuit by from six leftist VOA reporters backed by Reporters Without Borders and several labor unions, who alleged First Amendment violations over attempts to dismantle the broadcasting agency by firing current staff members.

According to the New York Times, “A separate lawsuit, brought by the director of Voice of America, Michael Abramowitz, is also pending.”

Lawless Judge Amy Berman Jackson BLOCKS Dismantling of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – District Courts Are Gutting Executive Branch of Power

On Friday, radical far-left Judge Amy Berman Jackson blocked the dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She is one of the rogue district judges who is stripping power from the executive branch.

Berman Jackson, like many of her Obama-appointed peers, has worked day and night to torment and harass Republicans and Trump supporters through her power as a District Court Judge.

In February, after the Trump administration gutted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Berman Jackson temporarily halted the mass firings. Berman Jackson also ordered defendants to preserve all of their data and records. Berman Jackson believes she knows better what is good for America.

In February, Elon Musk’s DOGE team entered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau headquarters – and staffers were “mad as hell.”

As Cristina Laila reported earlier – President Trump began cleaning house earlier this month after he fired Rohit Chopra, the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Rohit Chopra was a toxic Biden holdover who previously threatened banks that refused to give credit lines and loans to illegal aliens.

Now, this rogue judge is blocking the dismantling of this corrupt government body.

Bombshell: Prosecutors Question Timing of Pfizer Announcement Released Just After 2020 Election

Just two days after Democrat Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, drugmaker Pfizer announced its COVID-19 vaccine proved effective in protecting people from the sickness.

Then-President Donald Trump questioned the timing of the announcement, saying, “Pfizer and others even decided to not assess the results of their vaccine, in other words, not come out with the vaccine until just after the election.”

He suggested the delay was payback for Trump’s effort to rein in the cost of medications for elderly patients.

“[It’s] because of what I did with favored nations and these other elements,” he said.

In September 2020, Trump signed an executive order benchmarking the price Americans pay through Medicare for prescription drugs to the cost of those same drugs in other markets outside the U.S.

Trump asserted that the original plan called for the COVID vaccine data to be released in October.

Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla, in fact, told NBC’s “Today” at the time that his company would know whether the vaccine worked by the end of October.

San Francisco official spent $80k of taxpayer cash on GLAMOR photoshoot as city crumbled

A San Francisco city official is facing intense backlash after she awarded a $100,000 contract to a production company for a glamourous photoshoot and video project.

Kimberly Ellis, the director of the San Francisco Department on the Status of Women, has been called into question for her unusual spending habits after the city official spent $80,000 of taxpayer money on ’employee portraits.’

The city official, who was placed on leave last week, reportedly awarded a contract worth up to $100,000 to a high-priced production company in September 2023, hiring the firm to take portraits of 21 people and record a series of conversations on gender equity.

In the end, Ellis’ department paid $80,000 towards the full amount of the contract, fueling mounting concerns about her frivolous spending habits.

Former staffers claimed Ellis’ expenditure was an example of the official using resources in ways that seemed ‘excessive or inappropriate’ at a department tasked with ensuring that women are represented equally at City Hall.

‘I don’t think it’s a good use of public money to engage a professional artist to take headshots of staff and the commissioners outside the de Young Museum,’ one staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the San Francisco Chronicle.

‘It could have been handled by someone in the department using their phone.’ 

Earlier this year, the under-fire official reportedly hired a life coach – from a company owned by a friend – to host a series of curiously expensive training sessions for her staff.

Judge Who Upheld Block Of Trump’s Deportation Flights Is A Major Dem Donor

The federal judge who upheld the injunction blocking the Trump administration’s expedited removal of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members has a history of partisan political activity, both donating to and volunteering for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

United States Circuit Judge Patricia Millett has maintained the injunction against President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act, preventing the president from using the law to expedite the deportation of alleged criminal Venezuelan illegal aliens connected to Tren de Aragua, a foreign terror organization. The Trump administration is now asking the Supreme Court to decide on the case.

Federal Election Commission filings indicate that Millett was a prolific donor to Democrats, including Obama, from 2008 to 2012. Millett gave more than $31,000 to Democrat politicians and the party itself, supporting Obama’s presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton’s run in 2008, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, the Democratic National Committee, and the Fairfax County Democratic Committee, among others.

Millett — who charged that “Nazis got better treatment” than deported illegal aliens — also volunteered for Obama’s 2008 campaign, noting in a Judiciary Committee questionnaire that she provided the campaign with “legal assistance to the Voter Protection Teams for Ohio and New Hampshire, including preparing for potential election challenges.”

Millett’s appointment was supported by the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a left-wing organization that supports amnesty for illegal aliens, called America’s public safety system, “at odds with our shared values of fairness, equity, and justice,” and advocates in favor of the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement.

Millett’s ruling upholds the injunction issued by United States District Court Judge James Boasberg, another Obama appointee. Boasberg has a history of stonewalling Trump’s efforts while his wife has engaged in overtly partisan activity, The Daily Wire reported.

Boasberg issued a ruling in 2018 that limited the administration’s ability to detain migrant families who had entered the country, hindering Trump’s attempt to disincentivize illegal immigration by limiting the issuance of parole.

The Cover-up of Biden’s Cognitive Decline Was Even Worse Than We Thought

While we’ve all witnessed Joe Biden’s countless gaffes, confused wanderings, and incoherent ramblings over the past three years, what’s been happening behind the scenes is far more disturbing than anyone imagined. A bombshell new book reveals that while the White House was busy assuring Americans that Biden was a “vigorous” leader fully capable of executing his duties, Kamala Harris’s team was secretly planning for his potential departure — or death — as early as January 2023.

The revelations come from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” a forthcoming book by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes that exposes the shocking extent of the Biden administration’s cover-up

More startlingly still, the book also reports that aides to Kamala Harris, the vice-president who assumed the nomination then lost to Trump, “strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office”.

Such planning was led by Jamal Simmons, Harris’s White House communications director, Parnes and Allen report, and went as far as the drawing up of a “death-pool roster” of federal judges who might swear Harris in.

Simmons “never told the vice president about the death-pool roster before leaving her camp in January 2023,” the authors write, “but he advised colleagues that he should be notified immediately if something happened to Biden, because he had worked out an entire communications strategy. And he left the spreadsheet with another Harris aide.”

Let’s put this into perspective, shall we? While White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor claimed that “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief,” Kamala’s team was maintaining spreadsheets of federal judges who could swear her in as president at a moment’s notice.  

The same administration that repeatedly mocked concerns about Biden’s cognitive decline was actively preparing for multiple scenarios of his departure, including him leaving office “against his will.” A campaign official admitted, “It shows what we had to do to prepare with the unique circumstances we had, which was an 80-plus-year-old president who was running.”

The lengths to which Biden’s handlers have gone to prop him up are equally alarming. The book reveals the White House used neon-colored tape on floors to guide his movements — a fact confirmed by an aide who casually noted, “He knows to look for that.”

Tragedy rocks Texas sheriff’s office after four deputies die by suicide in six weeks: ‘It caught a lot of us by surprise’

A Texas police department has been left in shock after four of its deputies died by suicide within the span of six weeks.

The death of Deputy Christina Kohler was announced by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) last week. The 37-year-old law enforcement officer had joined the force in 2018 and served in the courts division.

Kohler was reported missing two weeks ago and her body was discovered on March 13, officials said. Three former deputies have also died by suicide within the past six weeks.

The president of the Harris County Deputies Organization, Jose Lopez, said that he and his fellow officers are currently processing the situation. “It caught a lot of us by surprise,” Lopez said, The Mirror reported. “One is too many. Two? Three? Yes, it’s definitely devastating.”

Houston Police Officers’ Union president, Douglas Griffith, told the outlet that suicide risks are 54 percent higher for those in law enforcement.

In its post confirming Kohler’s death, HCSO reiterated that mental health support was available for colleagues.

CCP’s Hidden Nerve Center Exposed in Minnesota: Report

A brick building on North Eustis Street in St. Paul has emerged as a critical operational hub for Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activities in the United States, according to a recent US House Oversight Committee report and investigative findings.

The unassuming location serves multiple strategic functions for the CCP, including cultivating political relationships, hosting diplomatic events and providing services for Chinese Americans loyal to Beijing. 

Registered businesses at this address have reportedly received substantial taxpayer-funded grants, raising significant national security concerns.

The facility is associated with multiple organizations, including the Alliance of Chinese Culture & Arts, the Center for Community Service and the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (Minnesota OCSC).

Meet The Democrat Donor Judge Hamstringing Trump’s Military ‘Trans’ Policy

It’s another day that ends in “y,” which means another Democrat-appointed federal judge is attempting to unilaterally kneecap President Donald Trump’s administration.

On Monday, Christine O’Hearn, a New Jersey-based district court judge, issued a 14-day temporary restraining order (TRO) preventing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the U.S. Air Force from “initiating involuntary separation proceedings” for two branch members who proclaim to be transgender. The lawsuit from the service members came in response to a Jan. 27 executive order by Trump and subsequent Pentagon directives to effectively develop the process of removing trans-identifying troops from the armed forces.

In granting the request for a TRO, O’Hearn, a Biden appointee, opined that the plaintiffs “demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their claims that the Orders, at a minimum, violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fifth Amendment.” Equally notable, however, is her complaint that the executive branch — which is constitutionally authorized to dictate U.S. military policy — did not provide her (a lower court judge) “any compelling justification whatsoever” for why it’s implementing the president’s directives regarding trans-identifying troops in the service.

“As discussed above, Plaintiffs face severe personal and professional harm absent a preliminary injunction. In contrast, Defendants have not demonstrated any compelling justification whatsoever for immediate implementation of the Orders, particularly since transgender persons have been openly serving in the military for a number of years,” O’Hearn wrote.

The U.S. Senate confirmed O’Hearn in a 53-44 vote on Oct. 19, 2021. GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined Democrats in supporting her nomination.

O’Hearn is the second federal district judge to stymie the president’s military “trans” policy with an arbitrary court order. The first came last week in the form of a preliminary injunction from D.C. District Court Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee and major Democrat donor.

O’Hearn’s activism from the bench hardly makes her an anomaly among other rogue lower court judges on board with greenlighting leftists’ lawfare against Trump — and neither does her affinity for Democrat politics.
