President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his outrage in a post on Truth Social after New York Judge Juan Merchan set a sentencing date of January 10 in his New York “hush money” case.
Trump said that if the judge’s decision is allowed to stand, “it would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.”
If it is not overturned or postponed, the sentencing will occur just ten days before Trump returns to the White House.
Trump responded to the date being scheduled by writing, “Every Legal Scholar and Pundit, including the highly respected, and sadly recently passed, David Rivkin, as well as Jonathan Turley, Elie Honig, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Gregg Jarrett, Elizabeth Price Foley, Katie and Andy Cherkasky, Paul Ingrassia, and many others, have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case, which is not only barred by the Statute of Limitations but, on the merits, should never have been brought.”
“This illegitimate political attack is nothing but a Rigged Charade. ‘Acting’ Justice Merchan, who is a radical partisan, just issued another order that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it.”
Trump concluded, “Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family’s disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only Political Opponent in American History not allowed to defend myself – A despicable First Amendment Violation!”
In a subsequent post, Trump wrote, “…Merchan took the Bragg Hoax that, according to all Legal Scholars, should have been dead on arrival and, through his fraud and misconduct, gave it a semblance of ‘life.’”
“While Deranged Jack Smith was ‘sent packing’ back to The Hague, after losing all of his politically manufactured cases against me, Merchan, who is far worse and even more corrupt than Smith in his fight for my hopeless Political Opponents, just cannot let go of this charade,” Trump continued.
“Is it because of his conflicts and relations that he keeps breaking the Law? This has to stop! It is time to end the Lawfare once and for all, so we can come together as one Nation and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Judge Merchan ordered the sentencing date earlier on Friday after rejecting a motion to dismiss the case based on Trump’s upcoming presidency.
The Hill reports that the judge “signaled he is inclined to impose no punishment for his felony conviction.”
“Merchan signaled in his ruling that he is not inclined to impose a sentence involving prison time, given concerns about his immunity from criminal prosecution upon taking the oath of office. Instead, he suggested an unconditional discharge ‘appears to be the most viable solution,’” the report explained.
Trump was convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records after paying $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016 for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter that the two had in 2006.
The president-elect has vehemently denied Daniels’ claims.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement about the sentencing, “President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process and to execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the Witch Hunts.”
Trump is the first former president in US history ever to be arrested and charged after leaving office.

Joe Biden will award Presidential Medals of Freedom to Hillary Clinton and George Soros in a ceremony on Saturday.
In a press release, the White House confirmed that Clinton and Soros were among the 19 chosen receipients of the medal, which is the country’s highest civilian honor.
According to their statement, Clinton and Soros were chosen for having “made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.”
“President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else,” it continues.
“These nineteen individuals are great leaders who have made America and the world a better place.”
BREAKING: Biden to award Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and others with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Secretary Clinton made history many times over decades in public service, including as the first First Lady elected to the United States Senate. After serving as Secretary of State, she became the first woman nominated for president by a major United States political party.
…
George Soros is an investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Open Society Foundations. Through his network of foundations, partners and projects in more than 120 countries, Soros has focused on global initiatives that strengthen democracy, human rights, education, and social justice.
Other recipients of the award include the singer Bono, the Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi and former attorney general and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy.
The announcement comes after Biden decided to award the disgraced former Congresswoman Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal, the second highest civilian honor, for her efforts to persecute Donald Trump and his supporters for the January 6th protests.
“Throughout two decades in public service … Liz Cheney has raised her voice—and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for,’ the White House said in a statement.
“They’re Trying to Break Me!” Tommy Robinson Speaks Out from Prison as Nigel Farage Refuses to Stand Up for Him and British Press Finally Discover Mass UK Gang Rape Scandal Tommy Exposed 2011!
January 4, 2025
Tommy Robinson issued a statement from Belmarsh prison, where he was held alongside Julian Assange 2019
After Elon Musk called for his release from 9 months in solitary confinement for a misdemeanor, Tommy Robinson released a statement from Belmarsh Prison, charging the Labour government “are trying to beak me”. As the British press finally picks up the subject of at least a quarter-million girls and women gang-raped by Muslim migrants in UK, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage continues to remain silent on the prison torture of Robinson, Europe’s bravest political prisoner.
TOMMY SPEAKS FROM PRISON
It’s not the prisons fault, this issue is with the government!!!!
Speaking on the phone from supermax Belmarsh Prison, where Julian Assange was also held as a political prisoner in solitary for 62 months, Tommy Robinson said he is being held in his cell for 21 hours a day, alone, and brought to the gym and shower alone as well.
Solitary confinement is “Mental torture”, Robinson said, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. “Tommy Robinson” is one of the aliases he used when he founded the English Defence League and was hounded and doxxed by leftist journalists. The name stuck, and has become a symbol for British working-class resistance to mass immigration, rape gangs and Muslim terror.
The prison mental health team has said that 9 months of solitary confinement “will be devastating to my mental health,” Tommy said. “Yet the government are making this decision to hold me in these conditions for 9 months.”
Usually, new prisoners are currently automatically given a 60% sentence reduction due to overcrowding, Robinson said, even rapists and violent criminals. “But not me. I’m civil offender, not a criminal offender. I shouldn’t even be in here.” His sentence was only reduced 50%, from 18 to 9 months, Robinson said.
ADMIN POST.
Tommy Robinson has now spent 68 days in total isolation, sentenced to 547 away from his kids.
His “crime”?
As the legacy media and politicians pushed a narrative, he investigated.
And released that evidence they wanted kept buried.
“It’s 2025. What amounts to mental torture is being inflicted on a journalist because he made a film”, Robinson said. “They don’t have to do this. I should be in open prison. I haven’t asked them to isolate me. Their excuse is, I’d get hurt in the prison system. If that was the case, they should still give me the same rights as a D-Cat (Category D – open prison) prisoner. A D-Cat prisoner is only meant to be staying in prison nights, and is meant to go to work during the day. That’s what I should be doing.”
“The judge is given the power to give a 2-year sentence for contempt of court without a jury. I’ve never had a jury,” Tommy said. “But he wouldn’t be giving that if it was 2 years of solitary confinement. That’s insane.”
ADMIN POST
Whilst there is an estimate of around a quarter of a million young British girls who have been groomed and raped, that is the ‘lower end’ of the estimate.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion spoke on this issue back in 2015
The UK Attorney General recently sent him a bill for £81,000 ($100,000) for his court charges, Robinson said, payable by Feb. 7, “or guess what? I’ll face another contempt of court case.”
“This is financial terrorism”, Robinson said. “The weaponization of a judicial system to destroy dissident voices… If this was happening in North Korea, China or Russia, every politician in our country would be screaming about it. But not a word. Not a single politician has mentioned this. We have a film which is an expose of the corrupt judiciary, the most-watched documentary Britain has ever seen, and not one MP or mainstream journalist has ever spoken about it. Not even GB News.”
Tommy’s film “Silenced” about the weaponization of the British justice system now has been watched over 150 million times on X after premiering in Florida 2023 with the collaboration of O’Keefe Media and The Gateway Pundit.
“They think they can lock up the truth. The film’s got 150 million views. How’s that going? Now they’ve got a gag order on journalists who come to visit me … so they can’t speak about how I am. Why is that? They know full well there’s a downward spiral in solitary confinement. They know full well the consequences of isolating someone for 9 months. When you understand why they’re doing it, it’s to break me. That’s the intention. It won’t break me. I’ll come out with my head held high.”
While mainstream media and politicians have finally picked up the mass gang rape story (see below), they have yet to speak out for Tommy Robinson. Even Reform UK leader Nigel Farage continues to dunk on the man who first exposed the UK mass gang rapes, telling GB News that Elon Musk “sees Tommy Robinson as one of these people that fought against the grooming gangs, but the truth is Tommy Robinson is in prison for contempt of court, for the third occasion. There are people in Britain who think Tommy Robinson is a political prisoner. That’s the narrative he’s pushed out. That’s how he earns his living. But it isn’t quite true.”
‘We are a political party aiming to win the next general election, Tommy Robinson is not what we need.’
Asked whether Farage would accept Robinson as a member of Reform UK, Farage said “No! Robinson has been to prison many times, for many things: Mortgage fraud, passport fraud, you name it. We’re a politcial party, we want to win the next elections, he’s not what we need.”
Ever since he founded the English Defence League in response to the spread of radical Islam taking over his home town of Luton, Tommy Robinson has been hit with countless bogus legal charges and sent to maximum security prison for misdemeanors that Hunter Biden or Prince Andrew wouldn’t even remember, including allegedly false information on his brother-in-law’s mortgage application and trying to enter the USA to attend Pamela Geller’s 9/11 commemoration 2012 on a false passport (The USA did not charge him, simply deported him. The UK did.).
Tommy Robinson’s current 18-month sentence stems from the fact he was reporting on the court case of 6 Pakistani gang rapists in Leeds and was arrested for commiting the crime of journalism outside a court house.
None of the BBC reporters outside Tommy Robinson’s court case have even been arrested and sentenced to solitary confinement in Belmarsh.
So Nigel Farage needs to grow a pair on this one.
Especially considering the monstrosity of the mass gang rape gangs Tommy Robinson first reported on years before the complicit British media and politicians ever did, as The Daily Telegraph covered today in an article titled “How the grooming gangs scandal was covered up” (reader discretion is advised – not for the faint of heart!):
This is a scandal that should be rooted out entirely, and investigated by the full might of the British state. Voices ranging from Elon Musk to Kemi Badenoch have joined the calls for an inquiry. Yet the Government seems curiously reluctant to dig into the failings of officials.
This reluctance is not new. Across the country, in towns and in cities, on our streets and in the state institutions designed to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, authorities deliberately turned a blind eye to horrific abuse of largely white children by gangs of men predominantly of Pakistani heritage.
Over time, details have come to light about abuse in Rotherham, in Telford, in Rochdale and in dozens of other places. But with the stories released in dribs and drabs, and the details so horrific as to be almost unreadable, the full scale of the scandal has still to reach the public.
The following paragraph makes for difficult reading. But you should read it, if you can. It’s drawn from Judge Peter Rook’s 2013 sentencing of Mohammed Karrar in Oxford.
Mohammed prepared his victim “for gang anal rape by using a pump… You subjected her to a gang rape by five or six men. At one point she had four men inside her. A red ball was placed in her mouth to keep her quiet.”
Her story is horrific. It is also far from unique.
Take “Anna”, from Bradford. Vulnerable and in residential care, at the age of 14 had made repeated reports of rape, abuse, and coercion. When she “married” her abuser in a traditional Islamic wedding, her social worker attended the ceremony. The authorities then arranged for her to be fostered by her “husband’s” parents.
In Telford, Lucy Lowe died at 16 alongside her mother and sister when her abuser set fire to her home in 2000. She had given birth to Azhar Ali Mahmood’s child when she was just 14, and was pregnant when she was killed.
Her death was subsequently used to threaten other children. The Telford Inquiry found particularly brutal threats. When one victim aged 12 told her mother, and the mother called the police, “there was about six or seven Asian men who came to my house. They threatened my mum saying they’ll petrol bomb my house if we don’t drop the charges.”
Yet in a pattern that would repeat itself, Telford’s authorities looked the other way. When an independent review was finally published in 2022, it found police officers described parts of the town as a “no-go area”, while witnesses set out multiple allegations of police corruption and favouritism towards the Pakistani community. Regardless of the reason, the inquiry found that “there was a nervousness about race… bordering on a reluctance to investigate crimes committed by what was described as the ‘Asian’ community”.
Similar concerns applied at the council, where anxieties over appearing racist saw safeguarding officers waving away concerns simply because the perpetrators were Asian. It was felt that some suspects were not investigated because it would have been “politically incorrect”.
This is not to say that the council did nothing. Aware that taxi drivers were offering children rides for sex, in 2006 it suspended licensing enforcement for drivers, allowing high risk drivers to continue practicing. As the Telford Inquiry found, this was “borne entirely out of fear of accusations of racism; it was craven”.
(…) At least 1,000 girls were abused in the town between 1980 and 2009. Yet even this conservative estimate was disputed by authority figures, with West Mercia police superintendent Tom Harding insisting in 2018 the figure was “sensationalised”. The independent review later found it entirely plausible.
Tommy Robinson first started reporting on grooming gangs in the UK in and interview with BBC’s “Newsnight” in 2011.
He was ignored, or called a liar, a racist, and put in prison.
It is time to speak up, Nigel.
In March 2015, Tommy spoke to the Oxford Union about “grooming gangs”:
In 2024, Tommy Robinson published the 4-part series “The Rape of Britain” on Urban Scoop based on his interviews with Grooming gang victims. He was threatened repeatedly by the rape gangs over it:
The Biden regime has announced a $306 million investment to bolster bird flu monitoring and preparedness efforts across the United States to combat a so-called “potential bird flu outbreak” among humans, right before handing over the reins to President-elect Donald Trump.
The young patient, a resident of California, reportedly experienced mild symptoms and has since been recovering following treatment with flu antivirals.
Predictably, experts are now sounding the alarms about the virus’s supposed mutations and potential for human transmission.
According to AP, genetic analysis of the virus revealed mutations in the hemagglutinin (HA) gene, which experts claim could increase the virus’s ability to infect humans.
These mutations were allegedly absent in samples from the infected birds on the patient’s property, suggesting that the virus may have mutated post-infection.
Meanwhile, California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in response to the recent bird flu outbreak.
Dr. Leana Wen, the Communist doctor who demanded Americans lose all their rights during the Covid pandemic, appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday to discuss the Bird Flu outbreak.
Covid tyrant Dr. Leana Wen weighed in on the bird flu, and she called for the Biden Regime to get millions of doses of vaccines to the American people as soon as possible.
Now, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is set to distribute $306 million to enhance monitoring, testing, and response capabilities across the United States.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced it would award $306 million dollars to continue its H5N1 Avian Flu response. While CDC’s assessment of the risk of avian influenza to the general public remains low, USDA and HHS continue to closely collaborate with Federal, State, local, industry and other stakeholders to protect human health, animal health, and food safety.
“While the risk to humans remains low, we are always preparing for any possible scenario that could arise. These investments are critical to continuing our disease surveillance, laboratory testing, and monitoring efforts alongside our partners at USDA,” said Secretary Xavier Becerra. “Preparedness is the key to keeping Americans healthy and our country safe. We will continue to ensure our response is strong, well equipped, and ready for whatever is needed.”
ASPR will award approximately $183 million in additional funding for regional, state and local preparedness programs:
CDC will award approximately $111 million in funding for additional enhancements to our ability to monitor H5N1 at the local, state and national levels:
$103 million to jurisdictions for increased monitoring of individuals exposed to infected animals, testing, and outreach to high-risk populations (such as livestock workers)
$8 million to manufacture, store, and distribute additional influenza diagnostic test kits for virologic surveillance
NIH will award approximately $11 million in funding for additional research into potential medical countermeasures for H5N1:
$11 million to the Centers for Excellence for Influenza Research and Response contracts
Since the first case of H5N1 was confirmed in cattle, USDA and HHS have worked with stakeholders across the nation to support state and local responses to the outbreak. Learn more about USDA and HHS work to protect human health, animal health, and food safety here.
Honduras President Threatens to Shut Down U.S. Military Base Over Trump’s Plan to Deport Illegal Honduran Immigrants
January 4, 2025
Screenshot: Al Jazeera
Honduran President Xiomara Castro has threatened to terminate military cooperation with the United States if President-elect Donald Trump proceeds with his plan for mass deportations of illegal immigrants, including those from Honduras.
This ultimatum underscores the glaring hypocrisy of a leader who has failed to address the root causes driving her own citizens to flee her country in the first place.
A primary objective of Trump’s mass deportation plan is to remove individuals with criminal records who are residing in the country illegally.
By focusing on these individuals, Trump’s administration aims to reduce crime rates and enhance public safety.
Tom Homan, designated as Trump’s “border czar,” has emphasized that the deportation efforts will prioritize those posing threats to public safety and national security.
However, Castro is far from pleased with this development.
“Faced with a hostile attitude of mass expulsion of our brothers, we would have to consider a change in our policies of cooperation with the United States, especially in the military arena, where, without paying a cent for decades, they maintain military bases in our territory, which in this case would lose all reason to exist in Honduras,” Xiomara Castro said in a statement on New Year’s Day.
“We hope that the new U.S. administration of democratically elected President Donald Trump will be open to dialogue, constructive and friendly, and will not take unnecessary reprisals against our migrants, who normally make a great contribution to the U.S. economy,” she added.
WATCH:
The United States maintains a military presence in Honduras primarily through Soto Cano Air Base, also known as Palmerola Air Base, according to AP.
This base is a Honduran military installation that hosts U.S. military personnel as part of Joint Task Force-Bravo (JTF-Bravo), a component of the U.S. Southern Command.
The base houses between 500 to 1,500 U.S. military personnel, alongside Honduran Air Force members.
JTF-Bravo conducts various missions, including humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, counter-narcotics operations, and regional security cooperation.
It’s important to note that Soto Cano Air Base is not a U.S.-owned base but a Honduran facility that permits U.S. military operations under bilateral agreements.
