"I actually had the ability to speak to him three weeks ago," Bailey said, during an on-camera interview with NBC New York on Feb. 16, the day the judge's decision was due. "I saw him in the corner [at the courthouse] and I told my client, 'I need to go.' And I walked over and we started talking … I wanted him to know what I think and why…I really want him to get it right." "No ex parte conversation concerning this matter occurred between Justice Engoron and Mr. Bailey or any other person. The decision Justice Engoron issued February 16 was his alone, was deeply considered, and was wholly uninfluenced by this individual,” said Al Baker, a spokesman for the New York State's Office of Court Administration, in a written statement The New York State Rules of Judicial Conduct state that "a judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, or consider other communications made to the judge outside the presence of the parties or their lawyers." The rules do allow an exception to "obtain the advice of a disinterested expert," if a judge gives notice to the parties in the case and gives them the opportunity to respond. If this ends up being true, it could void the entire case.

We’re losing our intellectuals and critical thinkers. Almost all political commentary on mainstream media is uncritical repetition of government talking points. Rex was too smart and decent for the woke mob running Canada.

Some people claim there is a campaign of genocide in Gaza which has been ongoing for many years. If so, it's the most ineffective and incompetent campaign of genocide in world history. This link is from 2016 but you get the idea. https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-israel-united-nations-palestinian-territories-gaza-strip-0b9fbb989fc2411495afd811da4ac6d0 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1491QF/ From 2022: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/israel-palestinians-gaza-population/ All they do is make babies, rockets, bombs and tunnels.

Al Gore once said some 30 odd years ago that by 2020, Miami would be under water. Well, where is the water? I am still waiting so i can buy a boat. 😁

Like I said...you do you, freak. In the meantime, I'll do me...and post reality.

Illegal immigration is not any sort of economic metric. Neither are gas and food, aside from the fact they show up to some degree in actual metrics, inflation being the obvious example. Gas prices are the product of a global oil market, and adjusted for inflation they are not historically high. In fact, they are the about the same/less than they were in 2017 and 2018 under Trump. Food (and gas, for that matter) are compound answers starting with a war in Europe's breadbasket and a global supply chain that's still all jacked up from the pandemic. But because it's a strong economy job growth is high, unemployment is low and companies are competing for scarce talent. As a result, wages are growing faster than inflation. Gas and food cost more, but Americans have more to spend. And we're closing in on negating the "damage" from peak inflation. You're 0 for 3 on identifying metrics--well, maybe partial credit for identifying items within inflation. But their effects are being exaggerated for political drama. Any way you want to slice it, the economy is miles better than what Biden inherited. Oh, and BTW, foreign military aid is mostly arms and equipment. It has the same sort of stimulating impact on the economy that war does, though clearly in a smaller scale.

I have detailed in other posts why this story interests me. Just because someone does not share your views or religiosity... does not mean that their interest is not as valid.

Well, there it is. The Union runs the country LOL I live in Ottawa and am very secure in saying since the pandemic shut down, the burbs have been a traffic jamb in the burbs every day. Most workers are public service and they are all out of their offices (homes) instead of working. Shit is taking longer because there is no one working. If you want to complain about slow public service,. that is it, no one in the office. I know many, they are our neighbours, friends and kids of friends. They all love "working" from home. They turn on their computers in the morning and then do whatever they want. They do not have to pay for daycare, for transit, for parking, for work clothes, for lunch and they got a raise because... they were underpaid??? I know managers that have to go into the office 4 times a week...they have no one to manage LOL They have online meetings and some employees just do not even log on and the managers cannot do anything about it. Lazy assed public servants are even more lazy now and have the union backing up their unproductive lifestyle. Pure BS!!!.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10480761/hardeep-singh-nijjar-suspect-canadian-student-visa/ One of the suspects accused of gunning down B.C. Sikh temple leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar entered Canada using a study permit that he said took only days to obtain. In a video posted online in 2019, Karan Brar said he applied for a student visa through EthicWorks Immigration Services in Bathinda, in India’s Punjab state. He said he received his study visa days later, according to a translation of his Punjabi-language statement. A separate Facebook page that appears to belong to Brar said he began studying at Bow Valley College in Calgary on April 30, 2020, and moved to Edmonton on May 4, 2020. A college spokesperson confirmed a Karan Brar was enrolled in the Hospital Unit Clerk program in 2020. The program spans eight months, raising questions about why he remained in Canada years later. It takes us years to get a doctor or a nurse in - this guy shows up for an 8 month course and is still here 3 years later when he kills someone, apperently at the request of the India gov't. Our immigration system is so flawed it is beyond insane

Please watch this. VID-20240412-WA0000.mp4 Now...Are you racist?

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/netanyahu-says-least-13000-terrorists-among-palestinians-killed-2024-03-10/ It's a brutal war, but 13,000 terrorists dead is a pretty good start.

It's a single line, on a single graph. A literal child, even a toddler, can look at it and tell you which parts are higher and lower.

@Michael Hardner Was just wondering what your thought were regarding the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption in 2022 and its effects on both ocean and land temps?

Now you are trying to differentiate a problem that requires integration.

The problem with the U6 is that it relies on the subjective opinion of a survey respondent. To deem that they are unemployed or underemployed for "economic reasons" is so subjective. When the U3 rate backs up their argument.. they use it. When it does not, well then it is garbage.

However, that is not how it will unfold. Person X makes inflammatory comment, they called out on it, and now they claim that they are being oppressed and ganged up on. They knew the lay of the land and still proceeded. It is not society's problem that they chose to say something unpopular and do not like the response.

When folks are dissatisfied with who is president or just politics in general.. their complaining is predictable 1. inflation 2. unemployment rate is deceiving. The jobs are not "good jobs" 3. not enough repetitive, effort-based manufacturing jobs in their region. A region could add 500 jobs but they are customer service, retail, restaurant, or warehousing but that is not "true job growth" unless it is manufacturing.

You are conflating an awful lot of things here. "community" / "consensus" / "unanimity" / "entire scientific community" Um, at the heart of all of this is the logical fallacy of argument from authority. That aside, what there is, is a very tiny segment of the "entire scientific community", that specializes in so-called climate science and out of all the papers written on the subject, if you review them generally speaking, you find a consensus regarding climate change being real, generally speaking. Thats it. There is no near unanimous consent among all scientists as if every astro physicist or Nuclear Engineer agrees... Hell, among so called claimed scientists, there is no consensus on how bad climate change is, what should be done about it, how much humans contribute, what humans can realistically do to stop it... etc... You boil this down, what you have is a general understanding that climate is changing, it appears to be slightly increasing and is on pace to continue to do so... and humans contribute some part to that. It pretty much ends right there.

Lol. No, you haven't. You've shown that a handful of people (a tiny minority) held that opinion of a paper from 30 years ago. That's fine. They were entitled to that opinion. And indeed, that's a self-correcting feature of science. But in this case their objections were not meaningful to the rest of the community and the consensus now approaches unanimity. You're busy boasting about climate change response being "over" while countries and corporations around the world are actively investing in mitigation strategies. You will likely be dead by the time things get really bad, but your kids aren't going to thank you. They'll wonder how their crazy old dad thought he knew better than the entire scientific community and why you didn't do more. And you are entirely clueless about economic data. I could give you all the charts and figures in the world and you'd be helpless to evaluate them. That's why you're linking to articles that directly contradict the point you'd like to make. That's not really my problem. You don't vote here. Laypeople are still shaken from the pandemic economy. Their view of the economy is emotional, like you. We'll see how many can catch up to the economic reality before the election.

Where can we go? Do the exact opposite of what our traitorous politicians and the traitorous left wing liberal media ask us to do or go along with. Keep using ICE vehicles. Use cash only as much as possible. It's a way of telling the globalists that we like and prefer to keep and use cash for most or all purchases. We must stand up against these sick and psycho WEF globalists before it is too late. Do not vote for any liberal, socialist, communist or green environmental political party's because they have already shown us all as to just how much they despise and have contempt we the people. If anything, this may help to slow them down until we can get an honest political party in power. Wishful thinking on my part. 😇

To answer the OP. EVERYTHING!

He doesn't know what he's saying. Typical Libbie has only two things on his mind. 1. Hatred. 2. Win at all costs.

How about rich fat ass? That way it covers more wide of an area.

O'Reilly's a non-factor. Biden is a far left lunatic that stupidly watches his activist handlers open the borders and hang homosexual flags everywhere.

Did you not know that "Real" means with inflation accounted for?

Leftards are steering clear of this thread, for the most part. There was just one weak, vague attempt at slander and disinformation. That means that the memo has gone out to leftard liars to "Let this story fade away into oblivion. Do not engage or you'll just keep drawing attention to it. Just keep telling lies about the other stuff. It's working on the dumbest 20% of Americans."

You'd have a point if this was a real trial in a legitimate courtroom with a legitimate judge, but this is more like a 1938 Germany 'enemy of the state' trial. Trump was already guilty of 7 counts of "whatever we can make up" before he was indicted. If he does get out of this one unindicted, CNN's headline tomorrow may as well read: "Trump was just found guilty of two hundred forty seven felony counts of something, but the DOJ hasn't decided what to call it yet. Trial set to start in September."

So, you are saying Biden let Russia invade Ukraine to play politics? Um, OK. That is a pretty awful position.

Exactly! That brings up the point of voting a PM in based on his platforms he talks about prior to an election. After that, they can do anything they want without asking their employer aka the citizens of Canada who pay the bills. If I can get onto the CRA and Banking web sites, let the people vote on-line on what the govenment should implement. After all, they are there to implement the needs of the people and nothing else. You know when I was a flight instructor for many years, I would have had a really tough time working from home and our hours were long as in 11 hours a day (08:00 - 19:00, not some public servant's 4 hour day after breaks and lunch time.

I hope someone has the foresight to prepare to bottle those liberal tear that will be flowing on election night, I should think it would be a fine vintage, extra salty, bitter with equal amounts of rage and fear.

How It’s Done Trump, unchecked, has been free to repeat those lies over and over again, even when the falsehood has been thoroughly exposed and his claims debunked. So it was refreshing to read that Judge Merchan was having none of that in court in Manhattan Friday morning. On Thursday, Trump lied, telling a gathering of reporters outside of the courtroom where he is on trial that he would not be able to take the stand and testify in his own defense, because of the gag order imposed by Judge Merchan. Of course, that’s a lie. Trump has been promising he would testify—perhaps he was looking for a way to walk that back as the reality of being on trial settled in. But Trump was peddling trash in classic fashion, blaming the Judge and lying about the gag order. Judge Merchan got right to the point Friday morning in court, before the jury was brought in. He told Trump the gag order “does not prohibit you from taking the stand.” He continued, “As the name of the order indicates, it only applies to extrajudicial statements.” That means Trump is only limited in statements he makes outside of the courtroom. In other words, Trump is free to testify in court; the choice is his. That’s it, just like that. The authority Trump was lying about refused to bend the knee and called Trump on the lie. Fortunately it's ONLY the MAGA CULT (like WCM) who believes Trump's LIES.

So... you have spent the last few weeks I have been on this forum defending these protests. Now, you want them to stop?

More delicious desperation. Hey robo...how many of these nonsensical threads are you gonna flood the site with?

1. There is no climate crisis thus this point of yours is mute. Counter productive fear-porn. 2. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/economy-inflation-why-americans-are-so-unhappy-three-charts/ https://www.vox.com/politics/24094752/biden-trump-strong-economy-2024-inflation Your own Libbie rags can't even sugar coat it.

Who knows...thousands of them are little kids though. You want to quibble over the rest fly at it. Fu ck Israel, fu ck Hamas, fu ck everyone's allies too. The whole things a disgrace. The creation of Israel has been an unmitigated disaster...it is what it is. Everyone needs to deal with it better.

They think it's the skillset necessary to be a CPA.

Not many liberals in the Military...but things might have changed...

The only people cheering at the sight of dead kids are the Palestinians. Palestinians kill children with their own hands and they revel in it. Palestinians leave their children to die in Gaza for photo ops. FYI Gaza is only 25 miles long. Anyone who wanted to walk all the way from the very furthest end of Gaza to the Egyptian border could have done so over 100 times by now: Oct 7th was over 200 days ago, and it doesn't take 2 days to walk 25 miles. Why are there still kids there, Black Dog, if not to die for some juicy propaganda? If your child was in Gaza, would you not have them out by now?

Us is suspending shipments of large diameter bombs over concerns that using them in rafah would cause more civilian casualties..., everything else is flowing as per contracts.

Happened to read Mark Oshinkie's substack this morning: Admitting error—or outright complicity with the Scam—during the Covid overreaction would entail losses of face and credibility. After all the harm the media has done, those consequences would be just and proper. To avoid this result, the media and bureaucrats are backpedaling slowly to try to change their views without too many people noticing. In so doing, they’re very belatedly adopting the views of those, like me, who from Day 1, called out the hysteria driving, and the downsides to, the Covid overreaction. But while they’ve incrementally changed parts of their message, they hold tightly to the central, false narrative that the Covid was a terrible disease that indiscriminately killed millions. The Covophobes continue to falsely credit the Covid injections for “saving millions of lives” and “preventing untold misery.” The mythology is that, even if the shots injured people, they were a net positive in a world facing a universally vicious killer. Relying on that false premise, Coronamaniacs, columnists and the commenters assert that no medical intervention is risk-free and that a few metaphorical eggs were inevitably broken while making the mass vaccination omelet. In their view, such injuries are a cost of doing business. To begin with, where was such risk/reward analysis when the lockdowns and school closures were being put in place? To many, modern medicine is a religion and “vaccines” are a sacrament. Their pro-vaxx faith is unshakable. But these ostensible Science devotees unreasonably overlooked Covid’s clearest empirical trend: SARS-CoV-2 did not threaten healthy, non-old people. Therefore, neither non-pharmaceutical interventions (“NPIs”) nor shots should have been imposed upon those not at risk. The NPI and shot backers weren’t Scientists. They were Pseudo-Scientists. And many commenters to the Mandavilli article, emphasize that “correlation isn’t causation.” The persuasiveness of correlation is typically questioned only when one would viscerally prefer not to apply Occam’s Razor and adopt the most straightforward explanation for symptoms that begin shortly after injection. And ultimately, doesn’t the cited “millions saved” study assume that correlation is causation? While the peremptory assertions that the shots saved millions of lives are very questionable and poorly supported, many who read these statements will cite these as gospel because millions is a memorable, albeit speculative and squishy figure, and because, well, The New York Times said so! While the columnists use this phony stat to justify mass vaccination, only one in five-thousand of those infected—nearly all of them very old and/or very sick or killed iatrogenically—had died “of Covid” before VaxxFest began. The vast majority of these deceased were likely to die soon, virus or no. Thus, how can one say that the shots saved millions of lives? For how long were they saved? They never acknowledge—and may not even know of— the statistical sleight of hand that’s have been used throughout by the jab pushers. I’ve described these tricks in prior posts. For example, there was “healthy vaccinee bias:” those who administered the shots strategically declined to inject those who were so frail that the shots’ systemic shock might kill them. And those who injected weren’t counted as “vaxxed” until 42 days after their first shot. As the shots initially suppress immunity and disrupt bodies, one should expect the shots to increase deaths in the weeks after the shot regimen begins. Injectees who died within this initial 42 days were falsely categorized as “unvaxxed.” FWIW, my wife and I and all other non-vaxxers I know have predictably been fine. The shots didn’t save any of our lives or keep us out of the hospital. Our immune systems did. The virus’s lethality was badly overhyped. And more medical intervention doesn’t necessarily improve health. To the contrary, and especially regarding the shots, less is often more. Many of NPI and shot backers have taken refuge in “We-Couldn’t-Have-Known-ism.” But millions, including me, did know, based on widely available information, that the NPIs and shots were bad ideas. And as we knew that only the old and ill were at risk and that the NPIs would cause great harm, those who are very belatedly admitting that “mistakes were made” not only also could have known; they should have known. Their failure to know reveals either a willful, opportunistic, tribalistic disregard of plainly observable information or a lack of intelligence. They also fail to mention that hundreds of thousands have suffered apparent vaxx injuries or deaths from heart attacks, strokes or cancers and that overall deaths have increased in highly vaxxed nations. Thus, when one considers all causes of death, the shots seem to have caused a net loss, not gain, in life span. The Times writers ignore the tens of thousands of American post-vaxx deaths listed in the user-unfriendly, and therefore underused, VAERS database and the excess death increases in the most highly vaxxed nations in 2021-22. Unlike the vaxx injured, who are still alive, dead vaccinees tell no tales. Nor do most of their survivors because, as with families who’ve lost a young man in a war, those left to mourn don’t want to believe that their beloved has died avoidably or in vain. The reluctance to attribute deaths to the shots is particularly acute if the bereaved encouraged the decedent to inject. Commentators now begrudgingly report that the shots may not, despite all of the ads and bureaucratic assurances, have been so safe after all, conceding that the shots have killed people is a bridge too far. At least for now. Nonetheless, in order to discourage additional public health, political and economic chicanery, we must continue to say what’s true: the whole Scamdemic was a massive, opportunistic overreaction that most people were too naive to apprehend. Truth is intrinsically valuable. Regardless of outcome, telling the truth is our obligation to posterity.

MPs vote unanimously in support of designating Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/mps-support-designating-irgc-terrorist-group-1.7198181

Agreed. Or playing the debate tricks, like "the sun came up in the east today" CITE!?!?! Or "man that's so unimportant a topic i'm insulted we're even discussing it". Or as you say "well the only reason you think that is you're a chud/nazi/homophobe/county-western-singer.

It's a nice idea but it doesn't work. Men and women are built fundamentally different. Bone structure, muscles, other factors mean that a man and woman of the same weight are NOT a 'match' the way people of the same sex would be. You can't take a 100 lb woman and a 100 lb man and call it equivalent . There's no 'compromise' to be had here. At the end of the day a bio woman and a bio man are not the same. And for those sports where there's a physical reason to separate men and women then unfortunately the trans will have to compete in their biological category OR have a seperate 'trans' woman and 'trans men' category. That might hurt their feelings a little. But it hurts my feelings that i'm too short to play in the NBA - but that IS the physical reality of it

Yeah. Letting clinton off after campaigning to throw her in jail and then having the dems use the courts to attack him made him look like a chump - safe bet nobody gets off the hook this time. That's what has the dems petrified.

Where are some of those pictures that you have painted on your cave walls, man? Any nice horsey drawings? Bidumb became President in 2020. Bidumb just had to wait until two months later until Jan. 2021 to begin trying to destroy America. His destruction plans for America were laid out in those two months and were ready to go as soon as Bidumb became the dictator of America. When Trump was President, America was a robust country. Not anymore under Bidumb. The American people, and even you, lived well under Trump. Are you better off today under Bidumb? Woke up. What stuff are you reading that says the opposite? The opioid crisis has got even worse under Bidumb. Bidumb has left the Mexican border with America wide open for the cartels to be able to bring in tons and tons of Fentanyl under his watch. You probably still believe that there is no border crisis, right? Woke up. Homelessness has gotten worse under your dear leader Bidumb. There were hardly any tents set up on the streets when Trump was President like there is today. Woke up. EV's are finished. Nobody wants the hassle of owning one of those waste of time vehicles. The fools that bought an EV know that they now have bought themselves a lemon. They are no cheaper to run then an ICE vehicle. Woke up. Sure? Want to tell me some more lefty lies and bullshit, lefty? The economy in America is in a shambles. Woke up. Your living in some cave, and living there for so long, and sniffing all that bat shit, has caused what little brains that you have left to go cuckoo. What is wrong with drinking cool-aid? Kids drink the stuff probably by the gallons every year. So long for now, cuckoo. 🤣 Who, Trump or Bidumb?

Hodad is a firm believer in dystopian nightmares, and he feels that the Joe Biden administration is doing a pretty f*cking good job at making it a reality.

So, this is your way of confirming that you do live under a rock. Stop drinking the kool-aid. Stop huffing glue. Biden took office in 2021, not 2020 Crime is not at "an all time high" lol (Where do you even come up with this stuff?) The opioid crisis was exploding under Trump as well. Blame fentanyl, not our presidents. Homelessness is not a new invention EVs are apparently your pet issue, but have nothing to do with anything right now. On the other hand, all economic indicators have vastly improved since Trump left office in disgrace.

Hey stunned, in 2020 Trump was still President when the hoax covid 19 bullshit came along. But before that covid lie came about, the American economy was in great shape. Under Trump, there was low inflation, low gas prices, low food costs, and Americas borders were safe from what they are today. If Trump were still President today, billions of American tax dollars would not have gone to that crooked communist globalist Zelensky in Ukraine. That all changed after your dear comrade leader Bidumb got the job as the Marxist dictator of America in 2020. How can you be that dumb to not notice this? Now in America today, crime is at an all time high, people are living in tents on the streets of America, and a big drug epidemic happening everywhere in America. Bidumb even keeps pushing EV vehicles which no one wants to buy anymore. Sales of EV's are way down and going down even further. And you have the nerve to try and blame Trump for all of this bloody mess that your dear leader Bidumb has created ever since the bimbo stole his way into the presidency. America is in total chaos and mayhem and disarray today, thanks to Bidumb. It is very obvious to me that you do not bother to read any data yourself at all. So, do you have any nice painted pictures to show us that you have painted on the walls of your cave, man? 🤣🤣🤣

Joe wants to put evangelicals in prison.

1. It's very likely, or it's not very likely at all? If it's "very likely" then surely you have at least ONE other place of incident. 2. The only cult in this country is the democrat cult, where it's: Pure Democracy > Constitutional Republic. Which means you cultists are into mob rule.
