Was tax paid on this income?




… Diddy destroyed some documents pointing at people involved in his criminal activities, Harris had personal interest in destroying these documents.

Diddy and Emhoff come from the same crowd of entertainment industry workers involved in scandals and criminal activities.
An extraordinary claim. What other evidence is there?

University of Michigan student from China charged with illegally voting in US election
[PostMillennial] Although the ballot was illegally cast, the vote is still expected to be counted because the ballot cannot be retrieved by election officials once it is put into a tabulator.

A 19-year-old Chinese student at the University of Michigan, who is not a US citizen, is facing charges after allegedly voting on Sunday.

On Wednesday, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s office issued a joint statement confirming the charges against the unnamed student, who is legally present in the country but ineligible to vote as a non-citizen. The 19-year-old student reportedly registered to vote on Sunday and signed a document affirming US citizenship before submitting a ballot into a tabulator. However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
he later contacted the local clerk’s office and asked if he could get his ballot back.

Although the ballot was illegally cast, the vote is still expected to be counted because the ballot cannot be retrieved by election officials once it is put into a tabulator, according to a report by The bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
News. The system is set up to prevent ballots from being traced back to an individual voter after they are cast.

"We’re grateful for the swift action of the clerk in this case, who took the appropriate steps and referred the case to law enforcement," a joint statement from the offices of Benson and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit said. "We are also grateful to law enforcement for swiftly and thoroughly investigating this case."

"Anyone who attempts to vote illegally faces significant consequences, including but not limited to arrest and prosecution," the statement added.

The student is now facing charges of perjury for making a false statement on an affidavit to register to vote. The standard penalty for perjury is 15 years in prison. Additionally, the student is also being charged with being an unauthorized elector attempting to vote—a felony punishable by up to four years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

This incident comes as Michigan remains a pivotal battleground state in the upcoming election. Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016 by less than 11,000 votes, while Biden captured the state in 2020 with a 3 percent margin or 154,188 votes. Current polling between Trump and Kamala Harris

Trump sues CBS News for $10 billion alleging 'deceptive doctoring' of Harris' '60 Minutes' interview
[FoxNews] CBS practices 'news distortion' intended to 'confuse, deceive and mislead the public,' the lawsuit says

Former President Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the lawsuit filed Thursday.

Trump attorneys said the complaint comes due to "CBS’ partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public."

Trump attorneys also argued the edits were done in an effort to "attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party as the heated 2024 Presidential Election — which President Trump is leading — approaches its conclusion."

"President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit comes after Trump’s attorneys wrote letters to CBS News demanding the network release the full transcript of the "60 Minutes" interview with Harris after it aired two different answers to the same question. Trump attorneys asked CBS to preserve all documents and communications related to the interview pending a potential legal battle.

CBS News refused to release the full transcript, citing the First Amendment, and rejected the assertion that it had "doctored" the Harris interview to mislead the American people. The network insisted that "the interview was not doctored" and that the program "did not hide any part of the vice president’s answer to the question at issue."

The lawsuit filed Thursday specifically references the exchange Harris had with "60 Minutes" correspondent Bill Whitaker. In a preview clip that aired on "Face the Nation," Harris was asked why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the U.S.

"Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region," Harris responded in the "Face the Nation" clip.

Harris was mocked by conservatives for offering a lengthy "word salad" to Whitaker. But when that same question aired the following night in the primetime election special, a shorter, more focused answer from the vice president followed.

"We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end," Harris said in the primetime special.

Critics accused CBS News of editing Harris' "word salad" answer to shield the vice president from further backlash, and there have been growing calls for the network to release the full transcript after it only shared transcripts of what had aired.

"To paper over Kamala’s ‘word salad’ weakness, CBS used its national platform on 60 Minutes to cross the line from the exercise of judgment in reporting to deceitful, deceptive manipulation of news," the lawsuit states.

Trump lawyers argue that news organizations "are responsible for accurately representing the truth of events, not distorting an interview to try and falsely make their preferred candidate appear coherent and decisive, which Kamala most certainly is not."

"Due to CBS’ actions, the public could not distinguish which Kamala they saw in the Interview: the candidate or the actual puppet of a behind-the-scenes editor," the lawsuit states, noting that Whitaker’s question "was of the utmost public significance — U.S. foreign policy on the matter of the Israel/Gaza war — at a time of immense importance, mere weeks before the most critical presidential election in American history."

Trump is demanding a jury trial and at least $10 billion in damages for CBS’ alleged "ongoing false, misleading, and deceptive acts; the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with this action; and such other relief as the court deems just and proper."

CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

#3  I don't see this suit going anywhere. Freedom of the press and all. CBS is free to confuse, deceive and mislead all they want. They've been doing it for a long time now and they can keep doing it if they damn well please. Just change the channel or, better yet, turn the TV off.

#17  When people we love, who are otherwise wonderfully sensible, loving, and interesting…

Mr. Wife and I have always intersected on a great many issues, including politics, which has led to interesting and unexpected discussions over the years. We come from very different backgrounds and have very different temperaments, so that isn’t surprising. But we agree completely on the personal life things, which is what matters, I think, and since I respect him, I have to respect that those differences have legitimately led him to different conclusions in some areas — even when I think he’s being short-sighted and dumb.
