Has the BBC met its nemesis in Trump’s formidable $5billion suit?

MAKE no mistake, Donald Trump’s $5billion (£3.7billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC, filed yesterday, is a formidable document: it is a tightly constructed, meticulously argued claim that accuses the Corporation not merely of error but of intentional deception on a scale that, if proven, could be the most damaging legal defeat in its history.

Filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the complaint names the BBC, BBC Studios Distribution, and BBC Studios Productions as defendants. It seeks $5billion in damages for defamation and for alleged violations of Florida’s consumer protection laws.

Donald Trump sues BBC for $10bn

Donald Trump has filed a $10bn (£7.4bn) lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of defamation.

The US president’s lawyers filed court papers in Florida on Monday over a doctored speech that made Mr Trump appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot.

In November, The Telegraph disclosed that Panorama spliced together parts of an address given by Mr Trump on Jan 6 2021, before some of his supporters attacked the US Capitol building. The edit omitted Mr Trump’s calls for people to march “peacefully”.

Trump calls Europe ‘decaying’ group of nations with weak leaders

US president singles out London, saying it is now a ‘different place’ and referring to mayor Sadiq Khan as ‘vicious and disgusting’

President Trump has condemned European leaders as “weak” in a wide-ranging attack that criticised the “decaying” group of nations for being too politically correct and failing to control immigration.

“Europe doesn’t know what to do,” Trump said in an interview with Politico. “They want to be politically correct, and it makes them weak. That’s what makes them weak.”

The president also criticised European leaders for failing to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, saying: “They talk but they don’t produce. And the war just keeps going on and on. I mean, four years now it’s been going on, long before I got here.”

Make Money Not War

Trump to host two African leaders! That was a footnote to world news last week still dominated by efforts to stop the Ukraine war.

However, to those who follow African affairs, the triangular meeting at the White House looked like a miracle.

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame seemed determined to end a decades-long war that, despite claiming at least as many victims as the current war in Ukraine or the recent war in Gaza, never hit global headlines.

Trump Returns to Gasoline as Fuel of Choice for Cars, Gutting Biden’s Scam Climate Policy

The president said he would weaken Biden-era mileage standards, which were designed to increase electric-vehicle sales, calling them a “scam.”

President Trump on Wednesday threw the weight of the federal government behind vehicles that burn gasoline rather than electric cars, gutting one of the country’s most significant efforts to address climate change and thrusting the automobile industry into greater uncertainty.

Flanked by executives from major automakers in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump said the Transportation Department would significantly weaken fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new cars and light trucks. The administration claimed the changes would save Americans $109 billion over five years and shave $1,000 off the average cost of a new car.

A Question for Trump: Is It Time to Take a Page from Abraham Lincoln?

It is well-known that Abraham Lincoln launched an invasion without consulting Congress as the Constitution stipulated, but what is less well-known is his instructing his police to imprison thousands of dissident Northerners, lettres de cachet flying fast and furious; suspending the writ of habeas corpus; arresting critical newspaper editors and publishers and shutting down their telegraph communications; using troops to intimidate voters; remanding dissenting “copperheads” to Fort Lafayette, an institution earmarked for political prisoners; and compelling the judiciary to adjudicate on his behalf — for the most part, the judiciary complied. As we find in Roy Basler’s The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln was even ready to imprison any citizen who had the temerity to remain silent and not support his war aims. After all, Lincoln had a war to fight.

Trump threatens Biden with ‘charges of perjury’ — says auto-penned orders ‘terminated’

President Trump claimed Friday that he was repealing all documents signed by former President Joe Biden using an autopen — and threatened to have his predecessor “brought up on charges of perjury” if he asserts that staffers were acting on his orders when using the mechanical.

Trump, 79, has for months characterized Biden, 83, as AWOL during his four-year term and claimed that unelected aides were running the country without authorization.

Trump’s Use of National Guard Has Been Successful–and Welcome

It is now indisputable that President Trump’s use of the National Guard to reinforce local law enforcement and crime-ridden cities is successful and welcome when applied.

The rabidly partisan Democratic mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, had opposed the introduction of the National Guard but after the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department disclosed that violent crime had fallen by half during this period and even relatively minor offenses such as evasion fares on the subway system were practically eliminated.

‘Punishable by death!’ Trump notes ‘execution’ is traditional penalty for sedition

President Donald Trump on social media has pointed out that the penalty for the refusal of military troops to obey orders is serious.

Punishment up to and including execution.

The response from the president came after a list of Democrats made a video urging federal employees, including members of the military, to refuse to obey what they called, without a definition, “illegal” orders.

In shift, Trump says House should vote to release Epstein files

In a sharp reversal, President Donald Trump said late Sunday that House Republicans should support a measure that would require the Justice Department to release the information it has related to its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — after key lawmakers said support was building ahead of a closely watched vote.

Trump, who has resisted backing such a measure for weeks, said on social media that he believes Republican lawmakers “should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.”
