3rd world thuggery!-----Why Donald Trump can't get a top-tier lawyer- ALAN DERSHOWITZ

Why Donald Trump can't get a top-tier lawyer - ALAN DERSHOWITZ 

"There is a nefarious group that calls itself The 65 Project that has as its goal to intimidate lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. 

They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers. 

When these threats first emerged, I wrote an op-ed offering to defend pro bono any lawyers that The 65 Project goes after. 

So The 65 Project immediately went after me, and contrived a charge based on a case in which I was a constitutional consultant, but designed to send a message to potential Trump lawyers:

if you defend Trump or anyone associated with him, we will target you and find something to charge you with. 

The lawyers to whom I spoke are fully aware of this threat — and they are taking it seriously...

Paul: We Know That First Days of the Pandemic Fauci 'Orchestrated an Elaborate Cover-Up': 

“What we know is, from the very first days of the pandemic in January 2020, that Anthony Fauci orchestrated an elaborate cover-up,” Paul said. “He knew there was a problem. At 3:00 in the morning, he was emailing somebody on January 31. And that person was head of the committee that was supposed to review dangerous research, the P3CO committee, the potential pandemic pathogens. It was supposed to look at this dangerous research. But Fauci allowed it to go around that.”

Amazon Shuts Man Out of Own Smart Home After Racism Allegations - By Eric Lendrum 

"...According to Breitbart, a man named Brandon Jackson made the claims in a post on Medium, describing in detail how he was locked out of all of his Amazon devices for about a week before the situation was finally resolved.
“On Wednesday, May 31, 2023, I finally regained access to my Amazon account after an unexpected and unwarranted lockout that lasted nearly a week,” Jackson wrote. 

“This incident left me with a house full of unresponsive devices, a silent Alexa, and a lot of questions.”

The incident that caused the lockout involved an Amazon delivery driver making a dropoff at Jackson’s home. As he walking away, the automated message from Jackson’s doorbell said “Excuse me, can I help you?” 

The driver, who was wearing headphones, did not acknowledge the message, but later filed a complaint falsely claiming that the doorbell used a racial slur against him. 

Even after Jackson provided the video evidence to Amazon proving that no such slur was used, he remained locked out of his devices for about a week...

Youth unemployment is a growing headache for China, the world’s second-largest economy.

Hunter Biden, Burisma-linked associates attended dad's holiday bash days after infamous 2015 Ukraine trip | Fox News: 

Hunter Biden and his business partners with ties to Burisma attended a December 2015 holiday party hosted by then-Vice President Joe Biden just a few days after he returned from a trip to Ukraine where he threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid if the country’s leaders did not fire their top prosecutor, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

As vice president, Biden traveled to Ukraine and put pressure on the country’s leaders to fire then-prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder and former president of Burisma Holdings, where Hunter served as a board member from April 2014 to April 2019. Biden's defenders have said that Shokin was fired not because he was pursuing corruption too aggressively but rather because he was too lax.
