THE SPECTER OF ELON MUSK'S AXE

 Sour losers are never rational in their response to a defeat. They look for scapegoats and then attempt to distract the public with a new boogeyman. Democrats, after losing the presidency and the U.S. Senate, in addition to Supreme Court and the House of Representatives remaining in the hands of GOP, started the blame game within their ranks. Without wrapping it up, they proceeded to engage themselves in doing everything to derail President Trump reforms by irrational attacks on his appointees to the cabinet, hoping that some of the mud will stick, and they will get enough republican senators to vote against the candidates. None of it worked, as the most fervently attacked candidates, such as Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr., Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard, got their approvals and were sworn in. Now, all the attacks are concentrated on Kash Patel, nominated to the seat of the FBI director, however, the democrats were unable to stop or pause his candidacy, and it is going to be voted on by the full U.S. Senate, and in all probability is set on course to be approved. Another defeat? Let's try to give the public a boogeyman, then, in the person of Elon Musk, the head of hated D.O.G.E., created by President Trump to root out waste and fraud from the federal government. The "memo has been sent" to every democratic politician and to progressive media, and all the sympathizers, and the hate campaign against Elon Musk started. It is not important to the democrats that the United States accumulated humongous debt, and that nothing is being done to have it reduced, and that government spending is rife with waste and corruption, as per the last year report of The Government Accountability Office which claims that federal government loses between 233 to 521 billion dollars per year due to fraud. Yet, this week New York Times claimed that Elon Musk says without proof that federal bureaucracy is rife with fraud, even though the New York Times is aware of the above-mentioned report. And the examples of ridiculous spending by the USAID - like $3 million to a rap artist in Gaza producing anti-Israeli songs, $2 million for a sex change in Guatemala, etc, - only support the need for a need to have a broom sweeping all the waste and corruption in the federal bureaucracy. Let's go, Brandon! Pardon me, I meant Elon...

DONALD J. TRUMP, DELEGATOR IN CHIEF

The media can't keep up with the president of the United States. He is not only a disruptor in chief, but foremost, a man of action and delegator in chief. Since the time of Ronald Reagan, there was no president who was so true to following his agenda and promises made to the voters during the election campaign. Over the years, we heard that this and that cannot be done, because of lack of funds, lack of majority in the house or senate, in order to proceed with reforms, etc. Yet, nothing seems to be impossible to Trump's crew, even if they have to be constantly dragged to courts, in order to slow down the Trump's reforms. The latest example is the release of Marc Fogel by the Russians. Steven Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy, went to Russia and succeeded where Biden administration refused even to try to do anything. Now, Trump is turning his attention to stopping the war between Russia and Ukraine. In the meantime, the democrats and progressive media concentrate on fighting DOGE and Elon Musk whom they consider the biggest danger to democracy. Yet they do not care at all about the uncovered waste and/or fraud, and the $1 trillion of savings in the national debt the Musk crew expects to make, apparently on a yearly basis. Musk is a danger only to those who waste or steal the taxpayers' money, or otherwise profit themselves, and who promote inertia of the government. Democrats' panic is so overwhelming and deep that they will attack anything connected to the brilliant business entrepreneur known as Elon Musk. His DOGE is doing great job in exposing waste and/or corruption exemplified by such waste as i.e. $2 million allocated by the USAID for transgender operations in Guatemala, various sums allocated to other 3rd world countries promotion of "wokism", and other examples of the USAID allocations of money I have quoted in one of my previous articles. Trump and Musk responded to Democrats' attacks with a press conference in the oval office on Tuesday, during which Musk eloquently answered the reporters' questions. Yet, we all know that Democrats and the progressive media are only at the beginning of their concerted efforts directed to stopping of Trump's reforms, and that they will not only protest and sing and dance in the streets, while chanting "fight, fight, fight!"

IT'S KIND OF COOL TO HAVE A PRESIDENT AGAIN, AMERICANS SAY NOWADAYS

 Donald J, Trump is a disruptor in chief. He and civil servants following his lead  swept through govermental agencies like a hurricane. What a contrast to the previous president, sleeping on the job he was elected to do in 2020. It's only two weeks of Trump 2.0, but it feels like he has done more than Joe Biden in a year. Yet we all remember how the Democrats attempted to paint Trump as too old for the job, when they substituted Kamala Harris for Joe Biden as their presidential candidate, after Biden's disastrous debate against Trump in 2024.

By issuing various executive orders in first two weaks, president Trump already caused decreasing of the traffick of illegal immigrants entering the country and forced Mexico. through the threat of applying 25% tariffs on their goods exported to the U.S., to send 10,000 of Mexican soldiers to protect the U.S/Mexico border. He also forced Canada to take care of their border with the U.S. under the threat of applying the same tariffs on their goods as to Mexico, stopped the U.S.A.I.D. from wasting money on various woke and other  programs all over the world, started the clean up of D.O.J and F.B.I. of agents engaged in carrying out the unconstitutional policies and being responsible for carrying out the weaponizing of those departments against U.S. citizens by the previous presidency. Much more is coming, particularly in the area of making the goverment smaller yet more efficient and making savings in spending of the txpayers money. Even though Democrats are doing their best to slow down president Trump, by causing delays in the approval of the cabinet appointees by the U.S. Senate. it seems the so called deep state is an endangered specie under the Trump administration.

Last Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, republican congressman Brian Mast, who happens to be the Chairman of House Foreign Affiars Committee, in answer to Margaret Brennan's questioning the rationale for scrutiny of the USAID, gave to her examples of the misuse of the US taxpayers funds by the USAID: $500,000 for expansion of atheism in the country of Nepal; $50.000 to assist with transgender operations in the country of Colombia; $47,000 to do LGBTQ transgender comic book in the country of Peru; $20,000 for drag show in the country of Ecuador. Is this really the way to carry out the international developpment of the 3rd wold countries? Are these the democratic values and ideas that the United States wants to be known for spreading throughout the world? Democrats, get some common sense...

So, 'it's kind of cool to have a president again', as summed up by senator John Kennedy of Louisiana in one oh his tv interviews yesterday.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS ALIVE AGAIN

 The people have spoken. Donald Trump has been vindicated in the most important court of them all: the voting age Americans. The liberal media and their talking heads, with their sanctimonious pronouncements and opinions, have been swept aside. Self-important celebrities and influencers are vowing to leave America, at least for now. In the White House there is life again. The reporters are allowed to ask questions and to show the president to all Americans in various moments of first days of his second term of the presidency. The president does not run away from the reporters, instead he responds to all the questions, and is looking for more. The inertia of Joe Biden's presidency is gone, and the spirit of action and optimism permeates the air. In the middle of the winter we have the winds of spring emanating from the White House. But do not be fooled, the progressives are regrouping, and ready to pounce. For now, they are still in the time of inner chaos, torment and self-recriminations.

FOR DEMOCRATS PREVENTING TRUMP FROM BEING ELECTED IS A LESSER EVIL THAN UNDOING THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES

 The verdict convicting Trump is out, the democrats are happy, for now they can call Trump a convicted felon, yet there is steep price to pay in damage done to the Constitution of the United States.

Alvin Bragg ran his campaign for Manhattan District Attorney on a platform of  criminal justice reform and of getting Trump, nothwithstanding that previous Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance, Jr. found no crimes and declined Trump's prosecution, same as the federal prosecutors who found no election law violations.

 In Soviet Union, chief of infamous NKVD once said "show me the man and I show you his crime". What Bragg promised with respect to Trump did not fall far away from the famous statement of Beria. To achieve his aim, Bragg enlisted former Biden administration federal prosecutor, Matthew Colangelo, who's role is now investigated by the U.S. Congress's Judiciary Committee. Colangelo also aided NY Attorney General Letitia James in the civil lawsuit against Trum and/or his businesses.

The case against Trump was weak, no clear leagal theory behind it, yet Bragg did not worry much for it was Manhattan were Trump is  hated and lost his election in 2020 in New York County in crushing numbers. The democrats know that the verdict of conviction will not withstand the appelate scrutiny, if not in Appelate Division, which is located in Manhattan, than definitely in NYS Court of Appeals, based in Albany, which is much more resistant to the pressure from Mnhatanites, and gives more respect the legal issues than necessities of political campaigns.

There were various strange and irregular things occuring in this trial. First, the judge has not been selected randomely, whether by way of lottery or other random means, instead he was handpicked by the Chief Administrative Judge, I believe. Judge Merchan, who is only an acting judge, has handled a criminal trial against the Trump Organization, which incidentally I have observed personally on most of the days, and he must have pleased the Chief Administrative Judge with the way  he handled it. Yet, it turned out later that Judge Merchan has been a donor to Biden's presidental campaign, whereas his daughter works for various democrats' election campaigns. If that was not a clear conflict of interest, then definitely there was an appearance of it. The defendant's motion that Judge Merchan recuse himself from the trial was denied by judge Merchan himself, as well as was denied by him the motion to change venue, which was filed on the basis of impossibility of getting a fair to defendant a pool of jurors in Manhattan. Judge Merchan prevented defense's expert on election law Bradley Smith from giving testimony at the trial, what turned out to be fatal for the defense for he was to give testimony that there was no violation of election law, and I believe the jury never was told about it, yet Judge Merchan allowed prosecution to claim violation of election law as one of the underlying crimes. Also, Judge Merchan did not allow the defense, from what I hear, to submit tax evidence, yet Judge Merchan allowed the prosecution to claim violation of tax law as one of the underlying crimes. In ruling on the objections during the trial, Judge Merchan was very liberal toward the prosecution, yet he sternly sustained dominant majority of defense's objections. Let us not forget the apparent prejudice to defendant caused by the famous and salacious testimony of Stormy Daniels.

What is most important and damning, it appears that both 6th and 7th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States have been violated in instructions given by Judge Merchan to the jurors, notwithstanding that the jurors were from Manhattan and already biased against Trump, as evidenced by the results of last presidential elections in New York County.

 6th Amendment to  the Constitution of the United States contains a requirement of unanimity, which applies both to federal as well as state criminal trials guilty verdicts (see Ramos v. Louisiana 590 U.S. 83 (2020). In Andres v. U.S., 333 U.S. 740 (1948) the Supreme Court ruled that unanimity applies to  both 6th and 7th Amendments to the Constitution, and in criminal case the unanimity extends to all issues.

7th Amendement to the U.S. Constitution contains a right of the defendant to know his accuser, the nature of the charges and evidence against him. Yet, Manhattan DA included in the indictment only 34 counts of falsifying business records (which in itself was not enough to convict, due to the fact that statute of limitations for the misdemeanor crimes expired), whereas it not contained any of the underlying charges (i.e. violation of election laws, violation of tax laws, or defrauding of voters) which were necessary to raise the 34 counts of falsifying business records from misdemeanor to felony, in order to have those 34 counts within the statute of limitations, which did  not expire for the felony at the time of filing the indictment.

Judge Merchan jury charges required the unanimity on the 34 counts of falsifying business records, yet they did not require, as we hear from all the reports, the unanimity on underlying crimes, as far as the jurors found violation of any of the underlying crimes (i.e. some of them might find violation of election laws, others on violation of tax laws, and the remaining jurors on defrauding the voters) so each of the jurors must have found violation of one of the underlying crimes, but not necessarily the same.

The above jury instructions appear to be in violation of the 6th Amendment as unanimity extends to  all issues in criminal trials, and in violation of  the 7th Amendment, as defendant's right to know all the crimes was violated, since the underlying crimes were not contained in the indictment.

Apparently, many of the liberal democrats are conscious of the violations of the Constitution, yet they will not articulate it publicly for the need to prevent Trump from winning the election is so overwhelming. Right after the conviction verdict was published by the jury, Jake Tapper on CNN articulated it by saying that it is important to sway at least several percent of the Trump voters from voting for him on November 5 since the Trump lead is in single digits.

It appears that democrats know that the verdict will eventually be stricken, yet in all likelihood it will not happen before November 5, 2024, the day of the presidential elections. If Biden is reelected, what appears to be a violation of the Constitution of the United States would have paid off. Anything to prevent Trump from being reelected. Trump is not a likable person, but the charges levied against him, would never have been filed against anybody else. Nobody is above the law, but so much for equal justice under the law...

LIFE WITHOUT MEDICATIONS? POSSIBLE!

 Before I turned 40, I have been diagnosed by my doctor with a coronary artery disease. Meekly, I have since then followed all my doctors' instructions and took prescribed by  them three types of medications. I have to say, that since then the quality of my life deteriorated, or, went south, as some people say: I gained a lot of weight, had often bad dreams, even nightmares, my legs were becoming swollen, and I sweated frequently like a pig. The last condition was particularly troubling to me as in the humid New York weather I had to constantly wear suits and ties at my work. In 2017 I decided to trust Jesus Christ as my personal physician and I stopped taking my medications. In fact, since that time I never took any pill for any medical condition (except for being vaccinated for Covid 2019). My bad dreams and nightmares disasppeared, I lost weight and am slim as I used to be 35 years ago, my legs are not swollen any longer and I do not sweat like a pig, as I used to while on medications. Moreover, I compete now freely on a soccer pitch or a tennis court with people who are 30 years younger than I. And, I am able to perform one or two thousand of sit-ups in one morning or evening session, often even twice more, when I  have enough time for it. Additionally, I  perform frequently long distance brisk walks. And what's important, I eat whatever and whenever I want, of course, in moderation. As an attorney, who handled many medical malpractice cases, and from my own experience, I warn you, dear reader, do not swallow all those pills prescribed to you by your doctor without asking all the necessary questions. Do we really have to lower the quality of our life by taking meekly  all those medications? Perhaps, we are often used only as the tools to enrich the owners of the big pharma companies?

ZYCIE BEZ TABLETEK? MOZLIWE!

 Od mniej wiecej 40-go roku zycia, kiedy lekarz zdiagnozowal u mnie chorobe wiencowa, poslusznie lykalem 3 rodzaje lekarstw ktore mi  on, badz wszyscy nastepni lekarze przepisywali. Musze powiedziec, ze od tego czasu, zamiast poprawy, czulem sie zawsze zle, przybralem na wadze, mialem koszmarne sny, nogi czesto mi puchly i pocilem sie jak mysz. To ostatnie bylo szczegolnie uciazliwe, jako ze w dusznym nowojorskim klimacie musialem zawsze nosic w pracy garnitury i krawaty. W roku 2017 zawierzylem Jezusowi Chrystusowi, jako mojemu lekarzowi, i zdecydowalem sie odstawic wszystkie lekarstwa, i od tego czasu nie zazylem ani jednej tabletki na jakakolwiek chorobe (za wyjatkiem szczepien przeciw zarazie). Zniknely moje nocne koszmary, wyszczuplalem i wrocilem do mojej naturalnej wagi sprzed 30-35 lat, nogi przestaly mi puchnac, nie poce sie jak przyslowiowa swinia, a co wiecej jestem w stanie rywalizowac na boisku pilkarskim czy na korcie tenisowym z mlodszymi od siebie o 30 lat.ludzmi. Co wiecej, jestem w stanie przykladowo wykonywac tysiac czy dwa tysiace przysiadow w jednej sesji porannej czy wieczornej, a jezeli mam czas, duzo wiecej. Bez problemu wykonuje szybkie wielokilometrowe spacery. I bardzo wazne, jem co chce, i kiedy chce, oczywiscie z umiarem. Jako adwokat ktory mial do czynienia z wieloma sprawami zaniedban lekarskich, i z wlasnego doswiadczenia,ostrzegam przed faszerowaniem sie lekarstwami bez sprawdzania decyzji lekarskich. Czy rzeczywiscie obnizenie jakosci naszego zycia poprzez lykanie poslusznie wszelkich pigulek ma sens? Czy  moze jestesmy tylko srodkami do nabijania kabzy przemyslowi farmakologicznemu?
