Trump vs Supreme Court
You can READ: Trump’s Full Response to Supreme Court Tax Return Decision
(Epoch Times) Manhattan Democrat DA Cyrus Vance got a subpoena on Trump's documents for a grand jury, and the Supreme Court Monday threw out Trump’s appeal.
Trump released a statement via email:
This investigation is a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our Country…
So now, for more than two years, New York City has been looking at almost every transaction I’ve ever done, including seeking tax returns which were done by among the biggest and most prestigious law and accounting firms in the U.S. The Tea Party was treated far better by the IRS than Donald Trump. The Supreme Court never should have let this “fishing expedition” happen, but they did. ...
The new phenomenon of “headhunting” prosecutors and AGs—who try to take down their political opponents using the law as a weapon—is a threat to the very foundation of our liberty. That’s what is done in third world countries. Even worse are those who run for prosecutorial or attorney general offices in far-left states and jurisdictions pledging to take out a political opponent. That’s fascism, not justice—and that is exactly what they are trying to do with respect to me, except that the people of our Country won’t stand for it.
In the meantime, murders and violent crime are up in New York City by record numbers, and nothing is done about it. Our elected officials don’t care. All they focus on is the persecution of President Donald J. Trump.
I will fight on, just as I have, for the last five years (even before I was successfully elected), despite all of the election crimes that were committed against me. We will win! [Right on, President Trump!]
Another “ruling” by the so-called Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas Dissents From Supreme Court on Election Case
(Epoch Times) The court on Monday announced it won’t take up lawsuits challenging a Pennsylvania state court decision that relaxed ballot-integrity measures, including extending the ballot-receipt deadline by three days due to the Chinese Communist virus.
Real Justice Thomas said…
“This is not a prescription for confidence…. changing the rules in the middle of the game is bad enough.”
Thomas wrote (pdf), “That decision to rewrite the rules” may alter future elections; the court should “address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and...do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.”
Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch also dissented.
“If state officials have the authority they have claimed, we need to make it clear. If not, we need to put an end to this practice now before the consequences become catastrophic,” wrote Thomas, an appointee of the late former President George H.W. Bush.
Thomas also appeared to make a reference to allegations of [SHENANIGANS] during the Nov. 3 election.
“We are fortunate that many of the cases we have seen alleged only improper rule changes, not fraud,” Thomas wrote. “But that observation provides only small comfort. An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence. Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected.” (EXACTLY.)
Other cases / another ruling
The Supreme Court on Monday also declined to review a bid by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) and others who asked the court to strike down a policy that expanded mail-in ballots.
BTW: Trump still has a request on the Supreme Court docket regarding his challenge to changes that the Wisconsin Election Commission ordered last year.

Speaking of kings…
Trump Offered Kim Jong-un a Ride Home on Air Force One from Summit
(Breitbart) This happened two years ago when Trump couldn’t make a deal with the North Korean “dictator.”
Matthew Pottinger, Trump’s top national security advisor on Asia appeared in a BBC series on his foreign policy.
“President Trump offered Kim a lift home on Air Force One,” Pottinger said. “The president knew that Kim had arrived on a multi-day train ride through China into Hanoi and the president said: ‘I can get you home in two hours if you want.'”
Kim declined the offer.
Trump’s personal and unscripted efforts at diplomacy shocked his national security experts at the time.
It is highly unlikely that the notoriously suspicious Kim would accept — he wouldn't place his life in the hands of the Americans.
No deal!
“Sometimes you have to walk,” Trump said about after abruptly ending the summit in February 2019 in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Kim wanted Trump to lift all U.S. sanctions in exchange for Kim dismantling a nuclear facility.
“...we couldn’t do that,” Trump said.
Crime
Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago: At Least 18 Shot over Weekend (Breitbart) — two fatally, a man between 30 and 40, and a 16yo young man (ABC7 / Chicago Sun-Times). NOT A KING...NOR A QUEEN!
The Chicago Tribune notes that 335 people were shot January through mid-February, 2021, in Chicago (on the high end compared to the last 10 years, only 2016 and 2017 were worse).
The Chicago Tribune ALSO isolates 73 fatalities out of those shootings.
Blacks are less than 30% of the Chicago population, but over 70% of those killed (and killers, I suppose). Lying libs say black-on-black crime is not real.
Jesse told this guy to go back to Africa!
Stevie Wonder Permanently Moving To Ghana... America More Dangerous Than Ever Before… (Drudge). PSH! Good riddance!
(PC/PopCulture) Legendary blind black singer and pianist Stevie Wonder is relocating to Ghana. The 22-time Grammy winner opened up to Oprah Winfrey (The Oprah Conversation) in November 2020, expressing his hope to live someplace where he feels valued.
He told Winfrey, "I promise you [America], if you do the right thing, I will give you this song. I will give it to you. You can have." He said he wants to "see this nation smile again. And I want to see it before I leave to travel to move to Ghana because I'm going to do that."
Winfrey expressed shock at the announcement, asking, "you're gonna move permanently to Ghana?"
"I am…. I don't want to see my children's, children's children have to say 'Oh please like me, please respect me, please know that I am important, please value me.' What is that?"
(He’s reportedly talked about moving to Ghana since at least 1994.)
He also told Oprah that America "feels more dangerous than ever before" and has "allowed love to go out and negativity to come in." He said all Americans need "five years of atonement," to "look at the wrongs... and say, 'We're going to fix this.'" PSH!
