News Weakly - 1/11/2025

They're Still At It
Trump was sentenced for his "hush money" conviction ... which, of course, is nonsense. The sentence was ... nothing, which, I suppose, was the punishment befitting the crime. The prosecution claimed he wanted to keep voters in the dark about his alleged sex with Stormy Daniels, but the charges were around improper paperwork. He's a "convicted felon" in New York for "falsification of business records" ... which only goes to show that this was another case of weaponizing the justice system to get at apolitical opponent ... like scheduling his sentencing just before his inauguration. What will remain is not "falsification of business records" (ho-hum), but "sex scandal" and "hush money" and "attempting to fool the voters" ... all without a trial. Because, of course, all candidates try to keep bad publicity out of the voters' hands, adultery is immoral but not illegal, and making payments for silence is not illegal. Violating an NDA (as Stormy Daniels admits to doing) should have consequences, but, apparently, not for anti-Trump accusers. (And I'm not even a Trump fan.)

Never Forget
Biden urged Americans not to forget the January 6th attack on the Capitol. And we shouldn't ... except most Americans already have. We've forgotten that there was no insurrection; they sought to stop the certification of the vote. We've forgotten that four protesters were killed, including an unarmed, female Air Force veteran shot by a Capitol police officer. (One officer died in the riot, but not of injuries ... of a heart attack.) We've forgotten that, while there was no evidence for "widespread election fraud," there was reason to question small pockets in strategic states that could easily have turned the election with a minimal amount of fraud. The evidence was dismissed out of hand ... and forgotten. No, never forget, but be sure it's the truth you remember and not the years of lies offered by the media and the government.

Not for Prime Time
Prime Minister Trudeau ... is resigning? I guess I don't understand Canadian politics, but apparently he's facing "rising discontent" and he's insistent that his political party remain in control ... in the face of "rising discontent." Nope ... not getting it.

That Cold Day
The northeast took a real blast of cold this week. Broad swaths encountered serious cold. The nation's capital was hit with a rare snowstorm on the day the Trump's win was confirmed. Would that be the proverbial "cold day in ..." well, you know?

With a Twist
After Biden broadcast the traditional clemency notices to inmates (like outgoing presidents typically do), a surprise emerged. Two federal death row inmates refused to sign the paperwork. They didn't want commutation. It may be moot. Legal precedence doesn't require their signatures. But they both claim their innocence and want exoneration, not clemency. Now, "pardon" and "clemency" are not the same, but is it just for these two to be put to death ... after being given clemency? I wonder.

Your Trusted Source for Fake News
California Governor Newsom has announced a plan to make fire illegal and assured wildfire victims he is diverting millions of dollars to fund emergency DEI initiatives. Trump has announced his plan to rename the Moon "Space America." Finally, thanks to Canada's liberal euthanasia laws, Trudeau will be humanely executed since he has exceeded his usefulness.

Must be true; I read it on the Internet.
