Chief Justice Roberts Declines Meeting with Senators Durbin and Whitehouse
BLUF
[Hot Air] Now it's FlagGate. Mrs. Alito likes flags. She likes to fly them at their house. Several years after she flew a flag known as a symbol of distress, the media began to report on it. Senate Democrats are short on knowledge of American history and long on political partisanship. One flag she flew dates back to George Washington and the American Revolution. That doesn't matter. They try to tie her actions to Christian nationalism and white supremacy. Nothing is too absurd for Democrats.

Alito, like Thomas, is ignoring demands by Democrats that he recuse himself on any cases that have to do with J6 or Trump in general. So, two senators tried to get a meeting with Chief Justice John Roberts. They have been denied a meeting.

We are about to find out how much blackmail dirt the _ _ _ & WH agencies have on the SCOTUS justices, and which justices follow the US Constitution and not Political party marching orders. ?

As the Liberals, Socialists, Democrats play the Anti-White vs Black/Brown Race card for attention and votes. Maybe they should also remember they are also vilifying over 70+% of its own voter base and the majority of its Sr. party leadership.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Posner responds to claims against him and Urgant from deputies from the Netherlands
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Russian TV presenter Vladimir Pozner, commenting on the indignation of Dutch deputies at his recent speech in Amsterdam together with his colleague Ivan Urgant, said that they do not touch upon political issues.

“Our speeches concern the travel films that Ivan and I made, and do not concern politics,” he told reporters.

Posner noted that he and Urgant, in addition to Amsterdam, performed in Zurich, are planning to perform in Berlin and Frankfurt, but no one has approached them with complaints. He did not know about the dissatisfaction with their performance in the Netherlands. Most likely, they began to be indignant after the departure of Russian TV presenters, Posner suggested in a conversation with RBC.

As reported by IA Regnum, Posner and Urgant performed in one of the main theaters in Amsterdam on May 28. This outraged Dutch MPs from the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, Clair Martens and Ruben Brekelmans. They called Russian TV presenters “propagandists” with a pronounced pro-Russian position and demanded an explanation from the Dutch authorities. The deputies also recalled that the Netherlands supports the policy of severing ties with Russia.

At the same time, after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, Urgant significantly left the country. His evening show was closed, but he later returned to his homeland and stated that he was supposedly on vacation. Posner has repeatedly stated that he does not consider Russia home and he never felt Russian. He also said that Russia has long had an inferiority complex compared to Western countries.

At the same time, in 2023, at a concert in Dubai, Urgant and Posner unexpectedly confessed their love for Russia. Celebrities were asked if they love Russia. Posner answered in the affirmative, and Urgant said in a joking manner “and I do,” and then added that he didn’t even know “how much he loves his country.”

#4  The Biden security state is trying to get censorship laws passed in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, UK and already has in Germany, to censor all social media

and therefore all news

using the fake new study of "misinformation", "disinformation" and "malinformation" to justify it.

they are doing this to censor US news by proxy

Because when Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Insta, Rumble, Substack etc are all successfully censored overseas to fit the new regulations, these platforms will just make it their "policy" to censor everywhere.

This bypasses your 1st amendment protections against Big Tech censorship that have been upheld so far on July 4 last year by Judge Terry A. Doughty as per here

Estonian PM Kaja Kallas traveled to Spain to the Bilderberg meeting
[Objektiiv via Google Translate] According to the Communications Office of the Government of the Republic, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas traveled to Spain for several days to the Bilderberg meeting on foreign policy and security.

Prime Minister Kaja Kallas will be in Spain on 30 May to 2 June at the Bilderberg meeting on foreign policy and security, stands In the laconic announcement of the Government of the Republic....

Member of the Riigikogu Varro Vooglaid estimates that globalists are expected to present another prize to Kallas at the meeting "for the work of the sole in playing down the vital interests of their people".

"Such are the forums of globalist power structures where it is announced in which direction Estonia and the rest of the West must move. Only appropriate decisions will be made later in the Riigikogu, making democracy. Whoever understands anything must understand such basic reality and thus be able to do what is really meant when it comes to the independence and independence of the Republic of Estonia, "Vogla is true on social media.

Bilderberg meetings are held behind closed doors and are closed to journalists. Therefore, the Bilderberg group has aroused legitimate criticism and mistrust, and this fine-tale, by many, as an instrument for the suppression of globalist policies and ideologies.

At this time's Bilderberg meeting, the Finnish President, who recently visited Estonia, also participates among the numerous other invited people Alexander Stubb.
Sounds like a job interview.

Kremlin on the guilty verdict against Trump
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In the United States, political rivals are actually being eliminated, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov on May 31, responding to a request from journalists to comment on the guilty verdict against former US President Donald Trump.

“If we talk about Trump, it’s obvious that they are simply essentially eliminating political rivals by all possible legal and illegal means,” he said.

Peskov stressed that the current situation in the United States is visible to the whole world. He also recalled that the court has not yet announced the final verdict.

As Regnum reported, on May 30, a jury in New York returned a guilty verdict against Trump in the case of falsifying financial records of the Trump Organization to pay $130 thousand to former porn actress Stormy Daniels. Previously in US history, ex-presidents had never been found guilty in a criminal case.

The verdict has not yet been pronounced; the former American leader faces 136 years in prison.

Tarmp described himself as a political prisoner and said he had done nothing wrong. He also promised to never give up. His campaign headquarters announced a fundraiser to help the politician win the upcoming presidential election. Trump's conviction does not prohibit him from participating in them.

Trump declared himself a political prisoner and said he would never surrender
Former US President Donald Trump declared himself a political prisoner after the jury's guilty verdict in the case of falsifying financial records. The politician posted a corresponding statement on May 30 on his campaign website, Politico reports.

“I was just found guilty in a rigged trial that is a political witch hunt: I did nothing wrong!” - the publication states.

Trump also declares that he will “never give up,” and the election campaign headquarters invites those who want to help the Republican politician win the presidential election by donating any amount of money.

At the same time, the election campaign website automatically began redirecting users to the fundraising page for the election campaign. It is noted that due to the influx of visitors, after some time the site stopped loading.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the jury convicted Trump on all 34 counts brought against him in the case of forgery of business records. The final verdict in the case will be pronounced on July 11. The maximum possible punishment for the totality of charges brought against the politician is 136 years in prison.

Trump, who was awaiting the jury's verdict outside the courtroom, in a conversation with reporters called the decision a "disgrace" and the trial itself "rigged" and promised to challenge the verdict.

In turn, American journalist Tucker Carlson called Trump's guilty verdict the end of “the fairest justice system in the world.” According to the journalist, Trump will win the election unless he is killed first.

Tucker Carlson called Trump's guilty verdict the end of justice in the United States
The jury's guilty verdict for the former head of the White House and likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was called the end of justice in the United States by American journalist Tucker Carlson on May 30 on the social network X.

According to Carlson, the jury's guilty verdict against Trump is the end of "the fairest justice system in the world." At the same time, the journalist believes that Trump will achieve his goal, regardless of the court’s decision.

“This will not stop Trump, he will win the election if he is not killed first. Anyone who defends this sentence is a threat to you and your family,” wrote Carlson, who is a supporter of the Republican politician.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that former US President Trump was found guilty in the case of forgery of financial records of the Trump Organization when paying money to former porn actress Stormy Daniels. The jury found Trump guilty of all 34 counts brought against him.

The politician did not agree with the court's decision and called it a “shame.” Trump has the right to appeal the decision, but he is not deprived of the right to participate in the US presidential election as a candidate.

The verdict in the Trump case will be announced on July 11. The maximum possible punishment for the totality of charges brought against the politician could be up to 136 years in prison. Trump became the first ex-president in US history to be found guilty of a criminal offense.

So go ahead Yuan Merchant, Bragg Albert, Bobbin de Nero, stick those trumpets in your butt and blow heralds, turn Trump into Mandela with your circus ways.

Do your Darth Brandon meme attempts. I've seen a bag of potatoes scarier than that. I don't mean the forgotten bag with sprouted eyes, oh no, I mean the one tagged at the cash register.

Double Jeopardy-A Demokrat Lawfare Speciality: Democrat Attorneys General Demand Federal Indictment of Daniel Perry Because the Rule of Law Is Dead
[RedState] Fourteen Democrat Attorneys General have asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a federal civil rights investigation of Daniel Perry for his role in the death of Antifa thug Garrett Foster in Austin, TX, in July 2020. Perry was convicted on state murder charges despite a police investigation finding he'd acted in self-defense when Foster brandished a semi-automatic weapon while Perry's car was trapped by mostly peaceful George Floyd protesters. He was pardoned on May 16 by Texas Governor Greg Abbot.

The letter, coordinated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, demands Garland do something about "stand your ground" laws. However, in Perry's case, he was in a car that was prevented from moving by an Antifa mob, so he didn't have a lot of options. These laws, claims James, "encourage vigilantes to attend protests armed and ready to shoot and kill those who exercise their First Amendment rights." She elides right over the fact that Foster brought an AK (or AK knockoff) to the demonstration and was killed for sticking it in the wrong man's face.

Jim Jordan requests Bragg testimony after Trump verdict
If they're in meetings, talking...they're doing minimal damage.
[JustTheNews] House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Friday requested testimony from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo for a hearing related to former President Donald Trump's hush money trial.

Trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying his business records on Thursday, to hide a hush money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels. Trump has maintained his innocence since the guilty verdict, and vowed to appeal the ruling, which experts have predicted will be overturned. He will be sentenced on July 11.

Jordan requested that the testimony from Colangelo and Bragg take place on June 13, according to a letter Jordan shared on X. The testimony will be part of a hearing titled "Hearing on the Weaponization of the Federal Government." The hearing will focus on the “unprecedented political prosecution of President Trump.”

Bragg has repeatedly denied invitations to testify in front of the committee, suggesting last year that Jordan was interfering with the Justice system.
