Judge Cannon on Tuesday held a final day of hearings on Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump.

President Trump’s lawyers filed a flurry of motions to dismiss Jack Smith’s case. Judge Cannon scheduled an expanded hearing to allow both sides to present their cases.

Cannon did not issue any rulings after Tuesday’s hearing concluded.

One of Jack Smith’s prosecutors threw a tantrum and accused Trump’s attorneys of “hijacking” the hearing.

Judge Cannon interrupted Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach and put him in his place.

“There is no hijacking going on — it’s about to end,” Judge Aileen Cannon responded, cutting off prosecutor David Harbach, ABC News reported.

“It’s not fair,” Harbach responded, arguing that Trump’s lawyers effectively “hijacked” the hearing by raising issues that have “nothing to do” with the matters before the court.” – ABC reported.

Judge Cannon appeared skeptical of Trump’s attorney’s arguments against the search warrant that authorized the raid of Mar-a-Lago and challenged them.

“This was an enormous piece of property. We are not talking about the search of a residential piece of property in the suburbs. It’s not an apartment in the city,” Trump’s lawyer Emil Bove argued, according to ABC News.

“What’s your point? It’s a large property,” Cannon responded. “You would agree paperwork is a sort of thing that can be located anywhere.”

Judge Cannon asked Harbach why federal agents searched Barron Trump’s room.

“Was there any evidence the boxes were moved to the child’s room?” Cannon asked.

“No direct evidence of that,” said Harbach, ABC News reported.

Judge Cannon last month indefinitely postponed the classified documents case after Special Counsel Jack Smith admitted to tampering with evidence.

The Judge vacated the May 20, 2024 trial date. It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date.

Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, founder of University of Austin and co-founder of Palantir, joined Squawk Box on Tuesday. During the discussion Lonsdale was asked about the prospect of President Donald Trump in his second term appointing two more originalist judges to the US Supreme Court: “I think that would protect our country for a generation to have originalist judges who believe in the Constitution.”

Here is the transcript.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: You heard President Biden say last week that he thinks actually there could be as many as two judges up for grabs on the Supreme Court, whoever becomes the President for the next four years. If Trump were to win and put two new judges in place, would you be happy as an American? I’m actually very curious about this because if you… No, but to the extent that you, you’d like to think that you’d want a Supreme Court, I would imagine, that represents, that is somewhat representative of the country, somewhat representative of the country. How would you feel, Joe, if there were two more conservative judges on the Supreme Court? So you would actually get close to not just the majority, which you’re already in, but the entirety of it, obviously, for potentially a generation or more.

Joe Lonsdale: Yeah, I think that would protect our country for a generation to have originalist judges who believe in the Constitution, Andrew. They just ruled 9-0 to protect the abortion drugs. These people are not activists. They’re clearly in trying to interpret the Constitution, and I think that makes us very safe. They’re going to stop the unrealized taxes. They would destroy the innovation sector, and they’re going to stop a lot of this nonsense. I mean, Jackson, who’s the only person Biden put on, was the only one to very clearly say she wants a wealth tax. You do a wealth tax, you destroy our sector. I think in terms of protecting the United States of America, we need originalist judges, and that would be an amazing thing for our country.

Joe Kernan: A couple more originalists?

Joe Lonsdale: That would be great.

That wasn’t the answer they were wanting.

Thank goodness our tax dollars are finally going to a worthy cause.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

The Maasai in Kenya, a notorious “White Supremacy” known for their traditional cattle-raising practices, have been consuming milk for centuries as a staple part of their diet.

The Maasai value cattle, and the size of their herds indicates their status in the community. Maasai women are responsible for milking the cows, and the milk is a key part of their diet, appearing in almost every meal.

The Maasai drink milk raw or soured, in tea, or turned into butter, which is especially important for infants. They also produce a traditional fermented milk product called kule naoto from unpasteurized whole milk from zebu cows, which they consume in large quantities, averaging 2–3 liters per person per day.

In the latest display of far-left absurdity, taxpayer money is now being funneled into a study investigating the supposed ties between milk and colonialism.

Academics at Oxford are jumping on the bandwagon, ready to dissect the ‘political nature’ of milk and its so-called ‘colonial legacies.’

Thank goodness that our government is finally funding studies on this, after all this is the sort of stuff that really matters.

How do climate alarmists expect the rest of us to care about their cause when they can’t even distribute information from experts accurately?

Internationally known climate alarmist Greta Thunberg, the 21-year-old Swede with a penchant for leftist causes, warned the world in 2018 that mankind had five years to stop using fossil fuels or all of humanity will be wiped out.

The since-deleted social media post — a tweet on the platform then known as Twitter — can be found via a screenshot from another post below.

Five years ago Greta Thunberg tweeted that

“climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”

The tweet is now deleted.https://t.co/qLzZxJDJJG pic.twitter.com/Wfnjkv2wS5

While Thunberg’s post did not say humanity would end in five years — we did make it past 2023 after all — there was one glaring problem with it. The article that Thunberg linked misquoted the scientist who made the relevant remarks.

In January 2018, James Anderson, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at Harvard, gave a speech that was covered by Forbes.

Anderson remarked in that speech on damage he claimed climate change is doing to the “permanent ice” at the Earth’s poles, and its implications for the globe, according to Forbes.

“The chance that there will be any permanent ice left in the Arctic after 2022 is essentially zero,” he said, according to Forbes. “Can we lose 75-80 percent of permanent ice and recover? The answer is no.”

The Forbes article was published Jan. 15, 2018.

On Feb. 19, 2018, Grit Post — a leftist online publication with the motto “real news for the working class” — used the Forbes piece as its source for a now-deleted article with the headline: “Top Climate Scientist: Humans Will Go Extinct if We Don’t Fix Climate Change by 2023.”

Its lede sentence declared: “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”

(The article has been deleted, but internet archives last forever.)

That was the report Thunberg quoted.

In a 2023 article, The Assocated Press took a look at the controversy surrounding Thunberg’s deleted post — and defended Thunberg, naturally, as a victim of bad sourcing and nasty attacks from conservative websites.

In remarks to the AP for that report, Anderson pushed back against Grit Post’s framing of his speech. He stated, “the ‘wiping out of humanity by 2022’ is a total distortion of what I said or meant at the University of Chicago colloquium in 2018. I would never make such a statement.”

The timeline above is enough to make anyone’s head spin. Here’s a summary:

Anderson gave a speech in January 2018 which Forbes reported on the same month.

Grit Post wrote its own piece in February 2018, quoting mostly from Forbes. Grit Post put the “extinction of humanity” and the “wipe out of all humanity” into the conversation as part of its article.

Thunberg — in June 2018, six years ago this month — posted a link to the Grit Post article and quoted its opening sentence.

Thunberg deleted the tweet in 2023 which is amusing, considering it was the five-year mark.

What is also amusing is that AP picked up Thunberg’s deletion of the tweet not to lambast her for sensationalism, but to defend her. AP took to guarding Thunberg against conservatives — obviously the real culprits — who ridiculed her for the post’s deletion.

Now six years removed from this conundrum, the real issue is how the left used a child to promote its agenda. Thunberg is a young woman now, but made herself a climate celebrity as a teenager with a gift for bombastic remarks.

The AP report did not chastise her for spreading an article that misquoted Anderson. The article instead criticized conservatives who went after her for deleting the tweet.

The establishment media are very quick to fact-check conservative voices who would dare go after Thunberg.

Now an adult, Thunberg was used as a pawn while still a child. Her cover was perfect — a young person who could say outrageous things, while also having the fallback of being a child. To the left, her reported mental and emotional problems, the fact that she had been diagnosed with Aspberger’s syndrome and had battled depression, just made her more untouchable.

It’s time we start holding her to a higher standard. Maybe then we will see most of what she says is nonsense — and sometimes dangerous nonsense.

Even more importantly, we need to understand the mindset of those who used her for political purposes.

The non-profit organization Catholics for Catholics (CforC) is calling on the Church’s laity to petition their priests to offer masses for President Trump.

The organization hopes to reach a goal of 2024 masses for Trump from the President’s recent birthday on June 14th until November 5th, 2024 – Election Day.

CforC shares, “The Church considers the Mass the greatest possible prayer of intercession because it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father by making present the Paschal Mystery of His death and resurrection.”

In March, the organization hosted a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

HOLY MASS @ People’s Convention w @realDonaldTrump .

We organized this bc at @CforCatholics we seek to bring Christ to the public square both figuratively and in this…LITERALLY #HOLYEUCHARIST

We prayed here for President Trump, our Nation and for all patriots who are… pic.twitter.com/cRpEf5bXeI

President Trump has raised concerns about the persecution Catholics face under the Biden Regime many times, including during a recent keynote address at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “2024 Road to Majority” conference.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Chris Wray’s FBI infiltrated Catholic parishes, and FBI agents engaged in outreach to Catholic leaders to spy on Americans practicing their Christian faith.

Biden’s FBI-DOJ was also targeting traditional Catholics.

Wray’s FBI sent out a memo warning agents of the dangerous ‘radical traditionalist Catholic ideology’ that was gaining popularity in the country. The memo was posted at UncoverDC.com by former FBI special agent Kyle Seraphin.

Dirty Merrick Garland wouldn’t admit to the targeting when he testified, under oath, to Congress.

BREAKING: Video of Merrick Garland LYING to congress under oath (felony) that FBI did not target Catholics.
Trump is not their only target. They r coming for all of us.. GOP Congress has the power to stop this. PLSE Sign petition to demand they do

The call to prayer comes at a time when, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center, Cafeteria Catholic Joe is losing the Catholic vote.

The poll shares that if the election were held today, 55% of Catholic voters say they would vote for Donald Trump, or lean toward voting for him.

Only 43% say they support Biden.

A similar poll conducted by Pew before the 2020 election found that Catholics were almost evenly split between the two candidates, with 50% saying they’d support Trump and 49% reporting that they would vote for Biden.
