A transgender killer has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for “manslaughter” after brutally stabbing a Portland cab driver to death on April 9, 2023.
Moses J. Lopez, 30, was convicted of one count of first-degree manslaughter and one count of unlawful use of a weapon for the unprovoked deadly attack on Reese McDowell Lawhon, 43.
Footage from inside the cab showed Lopez sitting in the backseat wearing a tiara and women’s clothing.
Lopez refused to apologize for the killing, instead playing the victim.
The Oregonian reports:
Lopez had been out partying earlier that night in downtown Portland, but the evening took a turn for the worse, so Lopez called 911 and asked for a ride home. The operator told Lopez to call a cab, Lopez said, but the Radio Cab dispatcher entered the wrong address.
“I ended up in a very scary part of town where I was genuinely afraid,” Lopez said. “I refuse to apologize for the lack of help that I so desperately needed.”
Lopez said they are often afraid of being targeted because they identify as a transgender person.
Lawhon was driving to the correct location when Lopez stabbed him in the neck using a brass-knuckle punch-dagger.

As Lawhon’s mother spoke to the court and called Lopez a monster, the killer smirked.

New York state Attorney General Letitia James (D) is posting a daily score of the added interest in the fine imposed on President Trump by Judge Engoron in the judgment in the civil case accusing Trump of inflating property values. Trump denies the charges. Lenders to Trump have not claimed fraud against him and have testified they were paid back in full and would gladly do business with Trump again.

In addition to barring Trump from doing business in New York for three years, the fine imposed by Engoron on February 16 in the non-jury trial case is about $355,000,000, however interest has pushed the amount to over $454,000,000 according to on entry by the clerk of the court on Friday (excerpt from ABC News):
The clerk for New York County’s Supreme Court signed and entered the judgment order Friday in former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, in which he owes $355 million in fines plus approximately $100 million in interest.
Shortly after, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a notice of entry in the case, which started the clock on Trump’s financial penalties in the case, which come to $454,156,783 in disgorgement and pre-judgment interest.
Trump now has 30 days to appeal the case to New York’s Appellate Division, First Department. In order to stay the execution of the fine in the case, the former president needs to post a bond or put cash into an escrow account to cover the fines plus interest, according to James.
…Until he places the full amount of the fine into an escrow account, Trump will owe 9% interest on the full judgment, or over $3 million per month.
A timeline of the case from last year can be read at this link.
Starting on Friday after she filed the notice of entry for the accumulated $454 million fine and interest, James has posted a daily tabulation.

Engoroan sent an email Thursday to Trump attorney Clifford Robert rejecting an appeal by Trump to delay the fine while he filed an appeal:
“Dear Mr. Robert,
You have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay.
I am confident that the Appellate Division will protect your appellate rights.
Justice Engoron
Trump must put up the total amount of the fine and interest or purchase a bond to appeal the judgment. Details of the appeal process can be read at this link.

CNN had a meltdown after Trump crushed Nikki Haley in her home state in South Carolina’s presidential primary.
Trump scooped up the 50 delegates in South Carolina after he was the projected winner one minute after the polls closed.
It wasn’t even close. Trump won South Carolina by double digits: Trump 59% – Haley 40%
Trump has swept four states so far: Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.
Despite losing every primary so far to Trump, former UN Ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley has vowed to stay in the race.
Trump brought the house down with a fiery victory speech Saturday night.
“I was just informed that we got double the number of votes that has ever been received in the great state of South Carolina,” Trump said on Saturday night in a victory speech.

CNN wasn’t taking Trump’s historic victory very well.
The CNN panel of pseudointellectuals, racists, and bigots went on and on about how humiliating it was for Senator Tim Scott to be on stage next to Trump after his victory in South Carolina.
Jonah Goldberg called Tim Scott “the black guy” while David Axelrod said Senator Scott “subjugated” himself Saturday night.
“It is the greatest political comeback in history,” Trump’s former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin said.
“It doesn’t make sense!” a panelist shouted.

A shocking 2,033 homeless people died in Los Angeles in 2023.
The staggering figure represents a 300% increase from 2014.
The numbers were revealed in an expose from The Guardian.
“An exclusive review of LA county medical examiner data obtained by the Guardian shows the department logged a total of 11,573 deaths of unhoused people over the last decade. Deaths have consistently increased every year,” the Guardian reports.
The 2023 figure averages out to over six deaths per day in the California county.
The Guardian reports:
The data is an undercount as the medical examiner only has jurisdiction over deaths considered violent, sudden or unusual, or where the deceased has not recently seen a doctor, meaning the scale of the crisis is greater than what’s captured in the data.
The LA county public health department does its own tracking, and a spokesperson said its researchers estimate there are roughly 20% more deaths in its database due to its more comprehensive sources and methodologies. The health department has not yet released 2023 data.
The newspaper listed a myriad of challenges facing the homeless population including, “the rise in fentanyl, untreated mental and physical illness, a lack of access to affordable housing and high rates of violence. A man was arrested last year for allegedly targeting and killing three unhoused men in LA who were sleeping.”
“The alarming death rate comes as LA residents continue to fall into homelessness faster than people on the streets are moved into housing,” the report explains.
“The county now has more than 75,500 unhoused people, according to the 2023 point-in-time survey, a rough estimate. LA also has one of the highest rates in the nation of people living outside, with 73% of its unhoused population classified as ‘unsheltered’, meaning living in tents, cars and makeshift structures. In New York City, by comparison, an estimated 5% of the unhoused population is unsheltered, with most in emergency shelters.”

Stephen Miller lays out how to tackle the illegal immigration crisis during a CPAC 2024 roundtable.
During a roundtable at CPAC with Texas AG Ken Paxton, Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Mike Davis, top Trump aide Stephen Miller shared how mass deportations of illegals will work once President Trump is back in the White House.
Stephen Miller: The immigration issue is extremely simple. The policies involved in fixing it are very complicated. The simple part is: seal the border, deport all the illegals. That’s the short answer.
You get in, you have two policy objectives that you proceed with utter determination on. Seal the border. No illegals in, everyone here goes out. That’s very straightforward.
In terms of the policy sets to accomplish this, as President Trump showed in his first term, it’s a series of interlocking domestic and foreign policies to accomplish this goal.
In no particular order to rattle off a few fast, you have your Safe Third Agreements, Remain in Mexico, finish the wall, you have robust prosecutions of illegal aliens.
You do interior repatriation flights to Mexico and not back to the north of Mexico, very important.
You reimplement Title 42, you have several muscular 212(f)s, that’s the travel ban authority. We did a few of those in the Trump Administration, you would bring those back and add new ones on top of that.
You would establish large-scale staging grounds for removal flights so you grab illegal immigrants and then you move them to the staging grounds and that’s where the planes are waiting for federal law enforcement to then move those illegals home.
You deputize the National Guard to carry out immigration enforcement.
Then you also deploy the military to the Southern border, not just with a mission to observe, but with an impedance and denial mission.
In other words, you reassert the fundamental Constitutional principle that you don’t have a right to enter into our sovereign territory to even request the asylum claim.
The military has the right to establish a fortress position on the border and say ‘no one can cross here at all.’
Watch:
Stephen Miller.
