A federal judge limited the scope of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) proposed gag order for former President Donald Trump after raising concerns during a hearing Monday.

Don’t forget: FBI brands Trump supporters ‘terrorists,’ with nation on the brink
As the specter of real terrorism engulfs the news in Israel, don’t forget that the FBI has ideas of its own about who the “real” terrorists are.
Newsweek recently reported that the FBI has clandestinely created a new subcategory of domestic terrorists that it intends to target going forward. The group has been labeled AGAAVE, which stands for anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism, but which is neither anarchist, a militia, or a sovereign citizen group.
Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears
The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.
The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

Historian Victor Davis Hanson Tells Tucker Carlson America Is ‘In The Middle Of A Revolution’
Historian Victor Davis Hanson warned that the United States was “in the middle of a revolution,” citing the fraud trial targeting former President Donald Trump in New York City during the latest episode of “Tucker on X” that Tucker Carlson posted on Twitter.
Hanson told Carlson that the fraud trial was part of an effort by Democrats to erase what they viewed as an “existential threat” to their retention of power.
Trump fraud trial in NYC: Opening statements begin in $250M civil case after ex-president blasts ‘racist’ AG, judge outside courtroom
Former President Donald Trump is facing a judge inside a lower Manhattan courthouse Monday, for the opening of a $250 million civil trial over charges he overinflated the values of his many properties.
The fraud lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James accuses Trump, sons Eric and Don Jr., and the Trump Organization of a decades-long scheme.
Trump says, “It’s a witch hunt and a disgrace. It’s all run by a corrupt Attorney General.”
I agree. Do you?

Judge Rules Trump Defrauded Banks, Insurers While Building Real Estate Empire
NEW YORK (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House, and he ordered some of the former president’s companies removed from his control and dissolved.
Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, found that Trump and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing loans.
The View PANICS Trump Leading ABC Poll, Claim Pollsters Were ‘High’
With ABC News sounding the alarm over their own poll showing former President Trump leading President Biden by 10 points in a hypothetical head-to-head rematch, the cast of ABC’s The View were in a panic on Monday. The fact that the network they worked for was the one who conducted the poll meant little as they all took to attacking the results; with faux conservative Ana Navarro openly suggesting the pollsters were all “high” on “edibles or somethings” when they were asking the questions.
PANIC: ABC Hyperventilates Over Poll Showing Trump Beating Biden BIG
On Sunday, ABC News released a poll in conjunction with The Washington Post and the results were apocalyptically bad for Joe Biden’s reelection chances against former President Donald Trump. Aside from the Jimmy Carter-like disapproval ratings on the economy and inflation, Biden is now losing to Trump by 9 points in a head-to-head matchup. Of course, ABC’s This Week had a near-panic attack when reporting the numbers. It was fun to watch.
Was Ray Epps a Jan. 6 Fed Conspirator?
The delay in his charging, and the lone misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct, fuels theories.
The headlines read: “Ray Epps Charged With Jan. 6 Crime—After Conspiracy Theory Claimed He Worked For FBI” (Forbes), “Ray Epps Charged Over Jan. 6 Riot, Dealing Major Blow to Tucker Carlson’s Conspiracy Theory” (Mediaite), “Feds charge Jan. 6 protester at center of unproven, hard-right conspiracy theories”.
FBI lost count of how many paid informants were at Capitol on Jan. 6 — later performed audit to figure out exact number: ex-official
The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that they lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers.
At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office.
Sure…
This lame single charge tells us everything we need to know about Ray Epps.
No obstruction felony? No civil disorder charge? Not even a trespassing on restricted grounds misdemeanor?

NBC’s Welker Attempts to Fact Check Trump Live, Fails Miserably
Newly-minted Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker was off to a poor start during her first day at the helm Sunday when during her exclusive interview with former President Donald Trump she became the latest member of the leftist media to deny Democrats support for killing babies in the womb in the 8th or 9th month of pregnancy. The fact that it’s in the 2020 Democrat Party platform doesn’t seem to matter to leftists like Welker.
Fani Willis’s Monstrous Trump Case
If Willis is to be believed, a person need not commit or agree to commit any statutory crime in order to be guilty of RICO conspiracy.
Oh, about those 161 “overt acts” in furtherance of a RICO conspiracy that Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis trumpeted in the first few dozen pages of her mammoth indictment of Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. Never mind. Turns out, according to Willis, that those 161 acts don’t really define the sprawling conspiracy to — well, to do something. They just give you some flavor.
J.D. Tuccille: The injustice of jailing Jan. 6 rioters for 20 years
The only thing that gets prosecutors angrier than challenging the authority of the government for which they work is then insisting on your right to a jury trial.
That’s how members of the “western chauvinist” Proud Boys, and leader Enrique Tarrio in particular, ended up with sentences suitable for murderers after their participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
American justice in Biden’s world
I have not done a deep dive into the treatment of the January 6th prisoners, not because I don’t have opinions, but because I don’t have educated opinions regarding what is happening in Washington to these people.
Jan 6 trials has been a horrific abuse of the law.
