A federal court on Monday halted the prison sentence for Douglas Mackey, who was convicted earlier this year of election interference for posting memes that <a href="https://www.memedefensefund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked</a> Hillary Clinton voters to cast their ballot via text during the 2016 presidential election.
Mackey was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-supporter-douglass-mackey-sentenced-to-7-months-in-prison-over-voting-memes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of a &#8220;scheme to deprive individuals of their constitutional right to vote&#8221; after a Twitter account he ran under the handle &#8220;Ricky Vaughn&#8221; posted memes in the lead-up to the election. In October, Judge Ann M. Donnelly of Federal District Court in Brooklyn sentenced Mackey to 7 months in prison, a $15,000 fine, and two years probation.
However, Judge Omar Williams of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reportedly overruled the appellate court in granting a motion for bond pending appeal, according to Mackey.
&#8220;This ruling is huge because it means that the appeals court decided that my appeal presents &#8216;substantial&#8217; and &#8216;debatable&#8217; issues of law that, if resolved in my favor, will result in my conviction being vacated,&#8221; Mackey <a href="https://twitter.com/DougMackeyCase/status/1731775057184100848" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;The prosecution, on the other hand, argued that my appeal was frivolous and that this was a typical election crime case like any other in U.S. history. This is a very encouraging step towards vindication.&#8221;
Mackey was charged one week after President Joe Biden assumed office and roughly four years after the 2016 election. The Justice Department claimed that Mackey had conspired to &#8220;injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate&#8221; people from exercising their right to vote. Prosecutors said that he and others had &#8220;intended variously to provoke, mislead, and, in some cases, deceive voters in the 2016 presidential election&#8221; with their posts.
The Justice Department said that Mackey had worked with other influential Twitter users between September 2016 and November 2016 to &#8220;disseminate fraudulent messages&#8221; which persuaded voters for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to cast their ballots via phone or social media.
One image showed a black woman standing in front of an &#8220;African Americans for Hillary&#8221; sign and said, &#8220;Avoid the Line. Vote from Home,&#8221; and &#8220;Text &#8216;Hillary&#8217; to 59925.&#8221;
According to the government, some 4,900 people texted the number, but it&#8217;s unclear how many people, if anyone, fell for the meme and did not cast the vote they intended to cast; or were merely participating in the joke.
Hillary Clinton <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-prison-sentence-of-douglass-mackey-stayed-by-federal-court-pending-appeal?utm_campaign=64506" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> celebrated the arrest, saying Mackey&#8217;s meme went &#8220;from what you would consider free speech &#8230; to running a very deliberate effort to mislead people about where and how to vote. So it went from speech to action meant to subvert the election because thousands of people who they targeted through their algorithms, &#8216;oh I could text my vote for Hillary Clinton.'&#8221;
Mackey said if he loses the appeal in the Second Circuit, he intends to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Former Secretary of State <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-students-pack-up-walk-out-in-the-middle-of-hillary-clintons-lecture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton</a> said on Wednesday that a second term for former President Donald Trump — who bested her in 2016 to win his first — &#8220;would be the end of our country as we know it.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-clinton-says-maga-republicans-are-the-reason-summer-is-hot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clinton</a> made an appearance on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; where she warned that it was possible for Trump to win again and then attempt to stay in power by suspending future elections, adding, &#8220;Hitler was duly elected.&#8221;

The conversation began with co-host Sunny Hostin, who asked Clinton to weigh in on what she thought would happen if Trump were to win the Republican nomination and then the presidency in 2024.
&#8220;I think that your loss of Trump in 2016 will go down in history as one of the most pivotal times in our country. One of the most pivotal moments in our country. And it’s still reeling from, you know, Trump’s policies, I think, and the deep divisions that he sowed in this country. So what in your view, would happen if he were to be reelected?&#8221; Hostin asked.
&#8220;Oh, I can’t even, I can’t even think that because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it. And I don’t say that lightly,&#8221; Clinton replied.
&#8220;You know, I hated losing, and I especially hated losing to him because I had seen so many warning signals during the campaign,&#8221; she continued, going on to claim that she had &#8220;immediately&#8221; called on people to give Trump &#8220;a chance&#8221; once the election came out in his favor.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/critics-drag-top-democrat-election-denier-for-giddy-reaction-to-trump-indictment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clinton</a>, who spent much of Trump&#8217;s first term claiming that he had &#8220;stolen&#8221; the election from her, went on to suggest that the former president would open a second term by suspending future elections.
&#8220;The wreckage is almost unimaginable. You know, when I was secretary of state, I used to talk about one and done. And what I meant by that is that people would get legitimately elected, and then they would try to do away with elections and do away with opposition and do away with a free press,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;And you could see it in countries where, well, Hitler was duly elected! (That’s right. Right.) And so all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies, so dictatorial authoritarian tendencies would be like, &#8216;Oh, okay, we’re going to shut this down. We’re going to throw these people in jail.'&#8221;

&#8220;They didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do!&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;Take him at his word. The man means to throw people in jail who disagree with him, shut down legitimate press outlets, do what he can to literally undermine the rule of law and our country&#8217;s values.&#8221;

A group of about 30 students packed up their things and walked out of former Secretary of State <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton&#8217;s</a> two-hour lecture on Wednesday, joining a planned walkout to protest the school&#8217;s alleged involvement in publicly sharing the names and photos of students who had joined pro-Hamas protests.
The lecture, which also featured Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, dean of Columbia&#8217;s School of International and Public Affairs, was meant to address the role of women in the peace process. Approximately 300 students were attending the class prior to the walkout, which took place before the halfway point.
The students gathered near the International Affairs Building&#8217;s lobby, claiming that they were there to draw attention to the fact that the names and photos of students had been plastered on the side of a truck — along with the words &#8220;Columbia’s Leading Antisemites&#8221; — and the school had done nothing to prevent the &#8220;doxxing.&#8221; Students claimed that the photos had been pulled from a platform that was supposed to be &#8220;private and secure,&#8221; and suggested that the school could have taken action to prevent them from being displayed.
Among the students&#8217; demands were a promise from the school&#8217;s administrators to ensure student safety, along with &#8220;immediate legal support for affected students.&#8221;
Those whose names and photos appeared on the truck were members of campus groups that had signed off on a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/deeply-sick-over-30-harvard-university-groups-blame-israel-after-hamas-commits-atrocities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter blaming Israel</a> for the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, when they breached the border from Gaza and slaughtered 1,400 Israelis, a large number of them civilians.
The student protesters reportedly waited in the lobby for the lecture to end, at which point they appeared to prepare for Clinton and Yarhi-Milo to walk by, but The New York Times reported that the duo left through a side door instead.
Clinton addressed calls for an immediate ceasefire &#8212; primarily from the Left &#8212; in recent days as well, saying that such an action would only benefit Hamas.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton</a> got into a shouting match at an event on Monday with a heckler who demanded she denounce President Biden&#8217;s &#8220;warmongering.&#8221;
The exchange was caught on video and occurred during a panel discussion at the Institute of Global Politics at Columbia University in Manhattan.
&#8220;You sit down, and we&#8217;re going to let other people talk,&#8221; Clinton told the heckler as he stood in the crowd and talked over her.

&#8220;Can you please make a statement about President Joe Biden&#8217;s speech? This is a clearly warmongering speech,&#8221; the heckler said. &#8220;President Joe Biden is calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and we&#8217;re supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we&#8217;re going to rush to World War Three and we&#8217;re all just going to let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here?&#8221;
Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Friday and spoke about his plan to push for a $105 billion security aid package for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
Earlier this month, the Palestinian terror group Hamas waged a deadly attack on Israeli civilians, prompting massive retaliatory strikes from Israel.
The former secretary of state told the heckler that this was &#8220;not the way to have a conversation&#8221; and offered to speak to him after the event.

&#8220;Okay, right, you&#8217;re gonna wait for me, right? Please,&#8221; the heckler said.
&#8220;I will wait for you, and I will listen to you, and I will respond to you,&#8221; Clinton said.
&#8220;Respectfully, I do not believe you,&#8221; the heckler said. &#8220;The fact of the matter is, the American people&#8217;s voice is what needs to be heard because our president is not speaking for the American people, and neither are you.&#8221;
&#8220;Well, that&#8217;s your opinion,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;Sit down; we&#8217;ve heard your opinion.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to exercise my free speech,&#8221; the heckler continued.
&#8220;But it&#8217;s not free speech when you&#8217;re disrupting everyone else&#8217;s opportunity to speak,&#8221; Clinton responded.
&#8220;Yes it is! This is free speech!&#8221; the heckler shouted back to a few scattered claps in the audience.
The heckler went on to accuse Clinton of “hypocrisy” and referenced several American historical figures, saying one former secretary of state was &#8220;involved with the CIA.&#8221;
&#8220;Oh yeah, well you&#8217;re brilliant in your historical cherry-picking,&#8221; Clinton shot back.
Clinton attempted to move on and speak to another member of the panel as a man in the crowd approached the heckler and told him to sit down.
&#8220;I want to hear Hillary Rodham Clinton denounce President Joe Biden&#8217;s warmongering speech! He&#8217;s trying to push us to World War Three!&#8221; the heckler shouted.
&#8220;Oh, please. Please. Please,&#8221; Clinton said.
The heckler again demanded that Clinton denounce Biden&#8217;s speech.
&#8220;And I&#8217;ve given you an answer, I will not do that, so that&#8217;s the end of our conversation,&#8221; Clinton responded. &#8220;But I&#8217;ll still meet you outside, but you&#8217;re done.&#8221;

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> is suing British ex-spy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christopher-steele" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christopher Steele</a> over the discredited Steele Dossier that was intended to paint a picture of alleged collusion between Trump and Russia.
The lawsuit was filed by lawyers for Trump in <a class="c-link" href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/london" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/london" data-sk="tooltip_parent">London</a> and says that Orbis Business Intelligence, a consultant group founded by Steele, violated British data protection laws.
In a written witness statement, Trump <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12636387/donald-trump-calls-christopher-steele-russia-dossier-untrue-golden-showers-prostitutes-moscow.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that “not one of the damning allegations contained in the Steele reporting was ever corroborated.” 
Funds from Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-sec-boss-confronted-over-steele-dossier-payment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went toward</a> Steele’s dossier, which made claims tying Trump to Russia that were later discredited.
In his statement, Trump said that the dossier had “numerous false, phony or made-up allegations,” including wild claims of “sex parties” in St. Petersburg, and that Russia did not have “sufficient material to blackmail” him.
“The only way that I can fully demonstrate the total inaccuracies of the personal data in the dossier is to bring these proceedings and to prove, by evidence at trial, that the data are false,” Trump, the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, said.
The dossier <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/christopher-steele-holds-firm-on-defending-discredited-dossier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> to establish a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” between Trump’s campaign and Russia, an allegation that was not backed up by special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the collusion claims.
Trump’s lawyer Hugh Tomlinson <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-steele-dossier-lawsuit-london-russia-de956b079a1216526b84822b121acd04" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the former president “suffered personal and reputational damage and distress&#8221; because of the dossier, which contained &#8220;shocking and scandalous claims.&#8221;
Antony White, a lawyer for Orbis, said that the case should be thrown out because too much time had passed and that BuzzFeed News was not supposed to publish the dossier.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
White claimed that Trump has “a long history of repeatedly bringing frivolous, meritless and vexatious claims for the purpose of vexing and harassing perceived enemies and others against whom he bears a grudge.”
Trump <a href="https://apnews.com/article/judge-dismisses-trump-lawsuit-against-clinton-1c49b9f65177507bb06115b631c8499d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously</a> tried to sue former top FBI officials and Clinton over the dossier, but his lawsuit was rejected by a federal judge.
According to a report from special counsel Robert Durham, the FBI <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-offered-to-pay-steele-1m-for-anti-trump-evidence-paid-possible-russian-spy-despite-knowing-his-info-was-bad" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had offered to pay</a> Steele up to $1 million for evidence linking Trump to Russia and paid Steele’s primary subsource hundreds of thousands of dollars even after the source was unable to provide evidence for any of his claims.

President Joe Biden was interviewed at the start of the week by the special counsel spearheading the criminal investigation into his handling of classified material.
The investigation is being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur, a Trump-era U.S. attorney who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
&#8220;The President has been interviewed as part of the investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur,&#8221; said White House Counsel&#8217;s Office spokesperson Ian Sams. &#8220;The voluntary interview was conducted at the White House over two days, Sunday and Monday, and concluded Monday.&#8221;
&#8220;As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation,&#8221; the White House claimed. &#8220;We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at this time.&#8221;
The news comes after federal officials have reportedly interviewed approximately 100 witnesses in their criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material while he was vice president in the Obama administration and while he was a U.S. Senator for the state of Delaware.
ABC News <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/feds-have-interviewed-100-witnesses-in-criminal-probe-of-bidens-handling-of-classified-material-report">reported</a> last month that the interviews have mainly focused on former Biden aides and military aides and the procedures that were used when handling the material.
The investigation has “apparently uncovered instances of carelessness from Biden’s vice presidency,” the report said, echoing the type of language that was used in the FBI’s decision to not charge Hillary Clinton over her handling of classified material during the 2016 presidential election.
The report said that the witnesses who have been interviewed have made it seem as though “the improper removal of classified documents from Biden’s office when he left the White House in 2017 was more likely a mistake than a criminal act.”
The report noted, though, that the special counsel has not reached a conclusion about whether Biden will be charged and the investigation is not over.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was an aide for Biden, was one the people reportedly interviewed by investigators.
The report added:
<blockquote>Investigators have shown witnesses email chains dating back to at least 2010 and asked for context about those exchanges, sources said. Witnesses have also been pressed about the use of cabinets and safes, sources said. … Sources said investigators are asking witnesses, especially former military aides, granular questions about internal procedures for handling classified materials, apparently seeking to understand the minutiae of how the vice president obtained, consumed, and discarded classified briefing materials.</blockquote>
It has already been reported that some of the documents that were recovered by investigators during a search of Biden’s home were from his time in the U.S. Senate.
The special counsel investigation into Biden has similarities and differences from the special counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified material.
The biggest difference between the two cases is that when classified material was found at Biden’s office and home, investigators were contacted, the documents were recovered, and Biden appears to have complied with the investigation whereas Trump is accused of obstructing his investigation.

Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> defended supporters of former President Donald Trump during an interview this week after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said this week that they needed &#8220;deprogramming&#8221; as she compared them to a &#8220;cult.&#8221;
Clinton made the <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4241678-hillary-clinton-maga-cult-members-need-deprogramming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks</a> during an interview on CNN where she said that &#8220;MAGA extremists&#8221; were &#8220;taking their marching orders from Donald Trump.&#8221;
DeSantis responded during an interview on CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; Friday morning when asked by host Joe Kernen about Clinton&#8217;s remarks.
&#8220;Hillary Clinton just said something like, maybe that cult needs [to] go to some re-education training or something just to get out of the Trump cult &#8212; but you see what you’re up against and how difficult it is,&#8221; said Kernen.
&#8220;I don’t, I reject that,&#8221; DeSantis responded. &#8220;I mean, look, these are patriotic Americans. They want to see the country do well.&#8221;
Kernen asked how DeSantis planned on winning the former president&#8217;s supporters over if he starts attacking Trump on the campaign trail.
&#8220;These folks get it. They want to see the country do well,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;Some people will be with Trump no matter what. But I think the bulk of the people are people that appreciate what he did. They also understand that he has got limitations in terms of his electability. He would be a lame duck on day one. If he could even get elected, I think he’d have major problems with personnel. And of course, he didn’t deliver on his core promises to drain the swamp or to have Mexico pay for the border wall or to eliminate the debt.&#8221;
&#8220;He added 7.8 trillion to the debt,&#8221; DeSantis concluded. &#8220;So, that’s all fair game. We’re going to be able to make that case.&#8221;

Looks like twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton still isn&#8217;t over her 2016 loss — and still hasn&#8217;t come to grips with the fact that millions of Americans detest her worldview.
On Thursday night, Clinton sat down with CNN&#8217;s international propagandist Christiane Amanpour to discuss a range of issues, including former President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s sustained popularity.
While discussing the divide within the GOP, Clinton spouted off that &#8220;so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He&#8217;s only in it for himself. He&#8217;s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.&#8221;
Trump has faced a wave of lawfare against him ever since leaving the Oval Office and is currently facing four indictments carrying 91 charges. All of that left Clinton wondering, &#8220;When do they break with him?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, because at some point, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen,&#8221; she said in her classic condescending tone.

In that same interview, Clinton argued that there&#8217;s clearly a common sense part of the Republican caucus in the House&#8221; and argued that those who recently voted with Democrats to continue funding the government were an example of Republicans she approved of.
Back then at an unnamed time — perhaps in the 1990s when she vilified her critics as being part of a &#8220;vast Right-wing conspiracy&#8221; — she said there were disagreements, but &#8220;there wasn&#8217;t this little tail of extremism&#8230; wagging the dog of the Republican Party.&#8221;

Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming Of The Cult Members’ Of MAGA

Two things can be true at once: Donald Trump pretty obviously violated classified document statutes. Should he be prosecuted or not? In any normal circumstance, the answer would be, sure — why not? If you commit a crime, you should be prosecuted for the crime.
But here’s the issue: Once James Comey let Hillary Clinton off the hook for crimes, the answer became, no, Trump should not be prosecuted. That’s because if only one side has to play by the rules, then the rules are not rules — they are just a double standard. They are just a weapon.
The notion that it is unprecedented for a president of the United States to engage in borderline criminal activity that violates RICO is not true. In 2014, I advocated for a full-scale use of RICO to target politicians. I said I would prefer widespread use of RICO to go after various criminal enterprises run by politicians. I wrote an entire book titled “The People versus Barack Obama,” in which I suggested that Obama had very likely engaged in, by Fani Willis’ definition, RICO violations.
Take the IRS scandal. In the IRS scandal, Barack Obama and his minions repeatedly said in public it would be amazing if the IRS audited and removed tax exemption from virtually every conservative group in America leading up to the 2010 election. Then they did it. The IRS did it. But Obama claimed he never meant for them to do it. That looks very much like the sort of mafioso activity RICO was meant to stop in the first place.
Now, when I made this argument back in 2014, the entire press that reviewed the book said, “This is crazy. You could never do this. How could you possibly suggest something like this?” And my answer was, “You know what? Perhaps if we finally started holding politicians accountable for their various criminal enterprises, they would stop doing crimes.” But then they ignored Barack Obama’s crimes and ignored Hillary Clinton’s. And now they’re ignoring Hunter and Joe Biden’s. The sort of RICO violations that we are currently talking about with regard to Trump and the election of 2020 would fit the criminal violations committed by Hunter and Joe Biden much better.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1789-they-re-treating-trump-like-a-mobster-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
You want to talk about a RICO criminal enterprise? Let’s say you had an actual honest family, not a mafia family, but a regular family. And that family sent a bag man to foreign countries to pick up cash on behalf of every relative of the vice president of the United States while the vice president was presiding over foreign policy in those countries.
Does the plausible deniability there sound like a mafia situation? Joe Biden was calling into Hunter Biden’s business meetings and saying, “How is the weather over there?” Doesn’t that sound exactly like what a mafioso would do? You get the Don on the line and tell the local bartender, “How is the weather down there?” And then everyone knows that if the bartender doesn’t pay off the mafioso, then the place goes up in flames. That looks like a RICO violation.
If you’re discussing RICO violations, you can find RICO violations pretty much anywhere. I’d be sanguine about that if they were even remotely applied evenly, but that has not been the case. The treatment has only been applied to Trump. No one else is getting this sort of treatment. If you want to have a set of rules that applies to everybody evenly, I’m totally for it. But if the rules only apply to Trump, we can all see what you’re doing.
What will end up happening is there will be motivated Republican prosecutors who do bring RICO violations against Joe and Hunter Biden. All there needs to be is a prosecutor with courage in a local jurisdiction to do this with a friendly jury. Once they have made this a one-sided tactic, get ready. We now have a bunch of local DAs all over the country deciding that they want to get their name on the paper. That’s why Fani Willis in Georgia is doing this. It’s why Alvin Bragg of Manhattan is doing this. People want their names in the paper.
You can expect this on all sides now. One of the predictable results is that people who have families, people who have a sense of shame and do not wish to see their lives investigated, are simply going to stay away from politics. The best people will not go into politics. The only people left will be the ones willing to slug it out in court every single day, because that’s what it’s going to take from here on out.
We have now entered the era of mutually assured destruction. And the only way to go back to something resembling normality is to pursue criminal indictment in some sort of state law against Hunter and Joe Biden, in exactly the same way that a local Georgia RICO violation is being pursued against Trump.
I would argue there’s something with regard to the Biden family that looks a lot more like a mafioso family than anything that Trump did.
And that makes Trump’s RICO prosecution utterly wrong.

Top Democrat election denier <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-clinton-says-maga-republicans-are-the-reason-summer-is-hot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton</a> took some backlash after she appeared to be giddy over the most recent indictment thrown at her 2016 nemesis — former President Donald Trump.
The former Secretary of State — who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/finally-its-done-trump-wins-304-electoral-votes-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost to Trump</a> in 2016 and has since told everyone who would listen that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-clinton-suggests-she-ran-best-campaign-had-joseph-curl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stole that election</a> from her — was speaking with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about the indictment out of Fulton County, Georgia, that alleged Trump and more than a dozen of his closest allies were &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-grand-jury-returns-10-indictments-in-georgia-election-case-against-trump-allies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-conspirators</a>&#8221; in a coordinated attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Maddow had intended to interview Clinton about an article she wrote for The Atlantic titled, &#8220;The Weaponization of Loneliness,&#8221; but instead they started off with a conversation — and laughter — about the slate of indictments in Georgia.
&#8220;It&#8217;s always good to talk to you,&#8221; Clinton said to Maddow, &#8220;But honestly I didn&#8217;t think it would be under these circumstances. Yet another set of indictments &#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;If bad actors tell us falsely that every election is stolen and that the only way an election is trustworthy is that if they come out on top of it, it tells you something not just about that person but it wounds us as a democracy in a way that’s hard to repair,&#8221; Maddow went on to complain later in the segment — with no mention of how <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-hillary-clintons-new-excuse-why-she-lost-ryan-saavedra" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clinton</a> herself had done exactly that.

Imagine you&#8217;re a climate expert working for a major news network when, one day, out of nowhere, Hillary Clinton <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hillary-clinton-says-maga-republicans-are-the-reason-summer-is-hot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announces</a> that &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; are causing the world to get hotter. Simply by voting the wrong way, and by cooking too many cheeseburgers, she says, these MAGA Republicans are lighting the planet on fire. They&#8217;re causing the warmest summer in the history of the world, going back billions of years, even before we had thermometers to measure this kind of thing. That&#8217;s how dangerous those MAGA Republicans are.
Last week we went into great detail about how Hillary Clinton sounded a lot like a Mesoamerican shaman when she made all those claims. But if you&#8217;re a climate expert in the mainstream media, you can&#8217;t laugh at what she said, as we did. You can&#8217;t just move on. Instead, you have to run cover for Hillary Clinton, because she&#8217;s effectively your boss. You revere her. Therefore, you have to go out on television and dutifully assert, with maximum confidence, that, yes, Hillary Clinton is right — we&#8217;re breaking temperature records right now, and that&#8217;s happening specifically because of man-made climate change that&#8217;s intensified in recent years. 
Indeed, like lemmings, all the big networks came out and said this, one by one. Here&#8217;s ABC News for example, giving Hillary some much-needed backup:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Scientists say July will be the planet’s hottest month on record" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9e3-LlN1uM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The scientists are clear, say the climate experts. We just experienced the hottest July in the history of the planet because we&#8217;re polluting too much. Our carbon emissions are changing the weather in real-time. Notice they have the political analyst literally sitting next to the climate expert, just to underscore the point that this whole segment is about scaring as many Democrats as possible so that they vote in the next election. At this point, Joe Biden needs all the help he can get.
But wait a minute, skeptical viewers might ask. Aren&#8217;t there other periods in world history when temperatures have spiked — long before humans and even the dreaded &#8220;MAGA Republicans&#8221; existed? Could we be witnessing something caused by nature, instead of Trump voters? ABC News&#8217; expert anticipated that you might start thinking along those lines. Here was her reply:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Scientists say July will be the planet’s hottest month on record" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p9e3-LlN1uM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The expert is acknowledging that there have been periods throughout world history when the climate has gotten much warmer. But she says that was due to highly unusual events like &#8220;volcanic interruption.&#8221; And we don&#8217;t have that right now, the expert says — at least, not to any significant degree. So, she concludes, the Trump voters must be the problem.
Is that true? Admittedly, I&#8217;m not a climate scientist, or an Aztec shaman, or any kind of expert on the weather whatsoever. But I do pay attention to the news. And I couldn&#8217;t help but notice something that ABC&#8217;s crack climate team somehow forgot to mention.
Just a year and a half ago, this happened in the Pacific Ocean:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Massive Volcano Eruption Kills At Least One Person In Tonga" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HUKBgR-s5kE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well, that somehow went unnoticed over at ABC News. An underwater volcano erupted in Tonga. It was so big you could see it from space. The entire west coast of the U.S. was put under a tsunami warning. According to NASA, which wrote up a detailed analysis of the event last August, the eruption caused a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The eruption also &#8220;blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth&#8217;s stratosphere — enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools,&#8221; NASA says. 
That&#8217;s significant, because according to NASA, volcanic eruptions normally cool the planet, by emitting a lot of dust particles that reflect sunlight away from the planet. That didn&#8217;t happen this time, and as one NASA scientist put it: &#8220;We’ve never seen anything like it.&#8221;
What&#8217;s the upshot? Well, water vapor traps heat. It&#8217;s the single most abundant greenhouse gas that exists in the atmosphere. It&#8217;s responsible for half of the greenhouse gas effect on the planet. So here was the prediction from NASA, as of last August. This is what they wrote. &#8220;The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.&#8221;
Oh. That seems like a major detail to leave out of literally every single news report on &#8220;historic climate change&#8221; this summer. It&#8217;s like reporting on wildfires without mentioning they were caused by arsonists — something our news media also does, regularly.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1200-tbd-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Think about how extraordinary this is. A volcano just sent a massive amount of water vapor into the air — in what scientists are calling a once-in-a-lifetime event, which scientists say has clear ramifications for the climate — and they don&#8217;t even talk about it on ABC News. Democrats in the &#8220;party of science&#8221; blame MAGA Republicans, and no one in the mainstream media corrects them or mentions the billions of gallons of water vapor that was just spewed into the atmosphere by a volcano.
To be clear, this is not some temporary spike in temperatures that NASA was talking about. According to NASA, &#8220;excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano &#8230; could remain in the stratosphere for several years.&#8221; That was NASA&#8217;s projection in August of last year.
By December of 2022, it appeared that NASA&#8217;s prediction had been vindicated. Research <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00652-x" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published </a>that month by the Meteorological Research Institute, NASA, and the University of Chicago confirmed that the eruption last year increased the mass of water vapor in the stratosphere by <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/1682598350040838144?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13%</a>. This water vapor will remain in the stratosphere for years — just as NASA had originally predicted.
The researchers added that, &#8220;The unique nature and magnitude of the global stratospheric perturbation by the [Tonga] eruption ranks it among the most remarkable climatic events in the modern observation era.&#8221;
Seven months later, this past July, the research meteorologist Ryan Maue had this <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/1682603049565528065?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">response</a> to the fallout from the eruption. &#8220;Based upon the last few months, it seems the effect of [the eruption] on global temperatures may have been greatly underestimated.&#8221;
Indeed, Ryan Maue was right. Just about two weeks ago, yet another paper came out on the eruption. This one was from <a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023GL103855" target="_blank" rel="noopener">researchers</a> at Cal Tech&#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This paper found that the eruption sent <a href="https://twitter.com/RyanMaue/status/1685749549233471488?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">40 trillion gallons</a> of seawater into the stratosphere — what the researchers called an &#8220;unprecedented water vapor injection.” Last week, Dr. Robert Rohde, the lead scientist at the independent nonprofit Berkeley Earth, reviewed these recent findings. He concluded that, &#8220;As a powerful greenhouse gas, this water may have contributed to recent warming.&#8221;
These seem like relevant developments, especially if you&#8217;re covering the MAGA heat wave that&#8217;s setting the United States on fire. And yet, virtually every major media outlet is ignoring this. We had to look at international media to find some coverage. Canada&#8217;s Global News is one of the few outlets that&#8217;s bothered to report on the connection between the volcanic eruption at Tonga and the heat wave this summer. Global News reported that &#8220;Tonga volcano eruption may have role in fueling summer heatwaves.&#8221; Watch how they frame it:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Tonga volcano eruption may have role in fueling summer heatwaves" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IwqvwpDRFhs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Notice what&#8217;s happening in that clip. It&#8217;s kind of amusing, really. They&#8217;re trying to downplay the impact of this eruption, because they want to keep beating the drum that climate change is man-made. At the same time, they can&#8217;t downplay the impact of any increase of average global temperatures, because we&#8217;re supposedly careening towards total climate apocalypse. It&#8217;s a tricky tightrope they&#8217;re walking.
But is the report correct when it says that the temperature increase from this volcano will be, &#8220;slight&#8221;? Are they right when they say that the temperature will go up by, &#8220;a few hundredths of a degree?&#8221;
Global News doesn&#8217;t show their work on that one. Meanwhile, scientists like Robert Rohde aren&#8217;t so sure. Here&#8217;s what he wrote on social media. &#8220;Is the water vapor injection from the [eruption] only adding a few hundredths of a degree to global temperatures &#8230;. or is it having more complicated effects we don&#8217;t yet understand? I don&#8217;t know, but I hope people are working on this.&#8221;
That’s an honest answer from a guy who, by the way, does not appear to be a conservative or even a “climate change skeptic.” So why is the media ignoring scientists like Robert Rohde? Why aren&#8217;t they telling you what NASA concluded, and what Cal Tech ultimately found to be true?
We all know the answer. The Democratic Party knows it stands a very real chance of losing control of the White House and the Senate in the next election. If they have to lie about MAGA Republicans changing the weather, they will do it. They will ignore the very climate science they claim to care so much about — the data straight from NASA — if it&#8217;s inconvenient.
In this case, the science is very inconvenient, from a political perspective, so they pretend it doesn&#8217;t exist. In a sane country, everything we’ve talked about here would be a major media scandal. They’ve spent months fueling panic over a heat wave, linking it to our SUVs and air conditioning units, while saying nothing at all about the volcanic eruption that we know is raising the global temperature. Has it made the temperature historically high? Highest in millions of years? Almost certainly not. That’s ridiculous. But that’s the point. The media is lying about the scope of the warming, and also lying about the cause of the warming — to whatever extent the warming is actually occurring.
For those of us who aren&#8217;t beholden to D.N.C. talking points or unhinged Hillary Clinton tweets, there&#8217;s an important takeaway from all of this. And that takeaway is simple. It&#8217;s been known for thousands of years. It&#8217;s this: However uncomfortable it may be, the truth is that, no matter how much we run our air-conditioning units or use plastic straws or whatever, vastly powerful forces outside of our control will ultimately determine the weather and the fate of the planet. The Left will never admit this because doing so would require recognizing the existence of a greater power — a force that, unlike leftism, is eternal.
Once you acknowledge that humans aren&#8217;t all-powerful — that they can&#8217;t change their gender at will, or control the weather on a whim — then their entire ideology falls apart. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re afraid of. It&#8217;s not the fallout from the eruption at Tonga, as embarrassing as that may be for all their theories of &#8220;climate change.&#8221; 

They&#8217;re panicked because their impotence — their inability to control nature — is now impossible to deny.

Climate Alarmists Panic Over Heat Wave. It Turns Out A Volcano May’ve Caused It.

The classified documents charges against Donald Trump warrant two questions. The first: Should he be prosecuted? The second: Did he violate the actual law?
Let’s answer the second question first, based on the allegations presented by the indictment: If Jack Smith has the evidence to back those allegations (and he appears to), then yes, Trump violated the law.
The current version of the indictment, again, points out the tape of Trump informing people with no security clearance that he is showing them classified documents — and that he could have declassified them if he had chosen to do so, but that he didn’t. Trump claimed for a few weeks that the actual document he showed them wasn’t classified, but Jack Smith now alleges they were in fact classified documents. If proved by witness testimony, Trump’s defense on that score implodes.
The current version of the indictment also alleges that another Trump aide, a maintenance person at Mar-a-Lago, worked to destroy evidence of Trump’s people moving around classified documents. It also alleges Trump ordered the security tapes be wiped. This looks like it fulfills the legal elements of obstruction, which is Smith’s accusation.
Now to the first question: Should Trump be prosecuted? The answer is, no. He shouldn’t be prosecuted. Hillary Clinton was let off the hook in 2016 for precisely the same crimes of which Trump is now accused, down to the wiping of the servers and the exposing of classified information to those without classification status. 
Remember when Clinton directed her immigrant maid to print out classified information — and even enter a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) to pick up classified faxes, including the <a href="https://nypost.com/2016/11/06/clinton-directed-her-maid-to-print-out-classified-materials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Presidential Daily Brief</a>? Remember when <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2016/09/03/fbi-report-platte-river-network-employee-bleachbit-delete-clinton-e-mails/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clinton’s tech firm used BleachBit</a> to wipe away her private server’s classified emails — and then she joked about it, asking whether the server had been wiped “like with a cloth”?
Yet Clinton wasn’t prosecuted. Why? Because, as then-FBI Director James Comey said, despite the likelihood that foreign actors may have gained access to classified materials, Clinton didn’t have intent to distribute classified materials to foreign actors. Comey rewrote the law to avoid charging her because she was a presidential candidate. 
Now, the DOJ is hitting Trump with the book.

Everyone can see the legal double standard here. It’s perfectly obvious. And the double system of justice is far more of a threat to the country than Trump’s mishandling of classified information — which was not based on any nefarious security threat, but rather on Trump’s tendency to hoard materials he personally likes. 
If half the country rightly believes when Republicans commit crimes, they go to jail, but when Democrats commit crimes, they get sweetheart plea deals, the credibility of the entire justice system collapses.
New charges were dropped on Trump the day after Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal was blown up by a judge — humiliating the DOJ in the process. The irony is not lost on anyone.
So no, Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted. His handling of classified materials was likely illegal and certainly foolish. But that foolishness isn’t anywhere close to the level of national security threat of Hunter Biden picking up bags of cash in Ukraine while his daddy presides over Ukrainian foreign policy — and Hunter calls in daddy as a shadowy enforcer.
And everyone knows it.
