Trump was right. Again.
Far-left Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is in really bad shape. The 69-year-old justice is overweight and suffers from type 1 diabetes.
According to newly released US Marshals Service records, Sonia Sotomayor, the oldest left-leaning justice on the bench, traveled with a medic and needed “medical supplies,” and “medical gear.”
“Justice Sotomayor’s health concerns are also apparent throughout the documents. On a Feb. 2018 trip to south Florida with no public events, Sotomayor appears to have a medic from Grand Junction, Colo. accompanying her, and another is with her during an Oct. 2018 swing through Chicago and Nashville for book events. Four of Sotomayor’s 2021 trips mention “medical gear” or “medical supplies.” What’s more, some version of the phrase, “PPE will be utilized for the duration of this mission,” appears to have been written on a dozen of her 2021 USMS travel reports, including one where deputies are directed: “Wear masks regardless of vaccination status,” p. 281.” the records stated.
“Per the documents she appears to have done what many Americans who could afford to did during the pandemic: spend months in a warm place working remotely, as the reports indicate she spent the last six weeks of 2020 and first six weeks of 2021 in south Florida, including for the Court’s Dec. 2020 and Jan. 2021 sittings.” the records said.
Joe Biden has only appointed one Supreme Court Justice since he was installed in January 2021.
Biden picked far-left Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Justice Stephen Breyer.
Court watchers have long speculated Sotomayor would retire early since she suffers from a host of health problems.
President Trump criticized Sotomayor back in 2018 when Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he would be retiring from the bench.
Sonia Sotomayor, the self-proclaimed “wise Latina” has suffered from type-1 diabetes since childhood.
Trump privately pointed out Sotomayor’s serious battle with diabetes as a reason why she may be leaving the bench soon.
Axios previously reported:
Asked how he comes to that jaw-dropping number, Trump mentions the obvious: he’s already replaced Antonin Scalia with Neil Gorsuch, and there are rumors Anthony Kennedy will retire.
“Ok,” one source told Trump, “so that’s two. Who are the others?”
“Ginsburg,” Trump replied. “What does she weigh? 60 pounds?”
“Who’s the fourth?” the source asked.
“Sotomayor,” Trump said, referring to the relatively recently-appointed Obama justice, whose name is rarely, if ever, mentioned in speculation about the next justice to be replaced. “Her health,” Trump explained. “No good. Diabetes.”

A jury found the NRA and former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre liable in a civil fraud lawsuit brought by corrupt New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Jurors said LaPierre “caused $5.4 million in monetary harm to the NRA, but that he has already repaid at least $1 million of that. The 74-year-old appeared stoic as the verdict was read.” NBC News reported.
The jury said LaPierre’s co-defendant Wilson Phillips “caused $2 million in monetary harm to the NRA, they found, while Frazer did not cause any monetary harm to the group.” the outlet said.
Last month Wayne LaPierre announced he would be resigning as the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) leader just days before his civil trial began.
Recall that Letitia James vowed to go after the NRA which she dubbed a ‘terrorist organization’ before she became the top cop of New York state.
In August 2020 Letitia James said her office is seeking an order to dissolve the NRA in its entirety during a press conference.
The investigation into the NRA began in 2019.
Letitia James said the NRA was serving as a personal piggy bank for Wayne LaPierre, the Chief Executive of the NRA.
Later that month the National Rifle Association announced a lawsuit against New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
“The NRA continues its defense of a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General, and LaPierre is an individual defendant in that action. It is well-known that the NYAG vowed to pursue the NRA when she was candidate for her office and, upon being elected, filed a lawsuit to dissolve the Association in August 2020. Trial proceedings in that case begin Monday,” the NRA said in a press release.
Excerpt from NBC News:
Wayne LaPierre diverted millions of dollars away from the National Rifle Association to live luxuriously, while the gun rights group failed to properly manage its finances, a jury found Friday.
The verdict comes after five days of deliberations and ends a seven-week long civil corruption trial in New York City.
The other defendants were John Frazer, the NRA’s corporate secretary and general counsel, and Wilson “Woody” Phillips, its former treasurer and chief financial officer.
The jury ruled largely in favor of James, finding that the National Rifle Association failed to properly run its nonprofit and its assets at any time between March 20, 2014 and May 2, 2022.
Jurors also determined that LaPierre, Phillips and Frazer all violated their statutory obligation to discharge the duties of their position in good faith.
Jurors also found that the NRA violated the law by failing to adopt a whistleblower policy and that eight employees suffered because of the violation.
State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen will have the final say over monetary damages and remedies. That decision could happen in July.
Cohen could also decide whether any of the individual defendants should be permanently barred from serving on the board of any charity in New York and whether an independent monitor should oversee the NRA’s finances.

Nigel Farage tells CPAC 2024 crowd that President Trump is the bravest man I know.
Nigel Farage, a British broadcaster and the former leader of the Brexit Party in England, spoke on Friday at CPAC 2024 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Fort Washington, Maryland.
During his speech Nigel called President Trump the bravest man he has ever met. Nigel also stressed the importance of a Donald Trump victory to save the Western World.
Nigel Farage: I know what it’s like to be demonized. I know what it’s like to be called all the names under the sun. But I can tell you he’s been through a lot more of it than I have. And simply, folks, I believe that Donald Trump is the bravest man that I have ever met in my life. I really do. I really, really do believe it.
So now it’s not just me in the European Parliament. There are new parties right across the continent. We’ve got European elections happening on the 9 June this year that’s going to see many, many more people coming in that want to fight the globalist agenda.
And, it’s not just me from the United Kingdom thinking Trump needs to win this election and needs to win this election not just for America, but frankly for the Western world and perhaps even saving the very elements of our Western civilization that we hold dear.
Nigel is completely correct. Only Trump can save the world from the grave threat of the globalist left.

Joe Biden, the US, and NATO gave Ukraine the OK to use NATO F-16 fighter jets to launch attacks inside Russia.
Joe Biden’s handlers are determined to launch World War III.

Newsweek reported:
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Ukraine has a right to use its Western-supplied weapons to defend itself against Russia, even if that includes striking targets within Russia’s borders.
“This is Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, which is a blatant violation of international law,” Stoltenberg told Radio Liberty during an interview on Tuesday.
“And according to international law, Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And it also includes strikes against legitimate military targets, Russian military targets outside of Ukraine. That’s international law, and of course, Ukraine has the right to do that to defend itself.”
A NATO official confirmed with Financial Times on Thursday that Stoltenberg meant that Kyiv’s right to self-defense included striking Russian military targets outside of Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned against Ukraine using its Western-supplied equipment to launch attacks on Russian territory, saying that doing so could risk escalating the conflict. The warnings had originally made allies like the United States hold off on supplying Kyiv with long-range weapons capable of reaching Russia, but NATO allies have since given Ukraine such arms.
It’s not the first time. Ukraine used the US Patriot air defense system to shoot down a Russian military transport plane while it was in Russian territory last month.
Putin said last month that Russian investigators found that a U.S.-made Patriot air defense system was used to shoot down an Ilyushin II-76 military transport plane while it was in Russian territory. Washington has provided Kyiv with several of the surface-to-air systems and additional artillery for the weapons.
