Ron Paul: The Trump Trial and Our Injustice System
I’ve long criticized our current US justice system – on all levels – as becoming much more about political justice than blind justice. The bizarre trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump last week on 34 felonies only reinforces my concerns.
The New York District Attorney, Soros-backed Alvin Bragg, has been notorious for downgrading felony charges against others to misdemeanor charges. According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, Bragg had downgraded 60 percent of felony cases to lesser charges, resulting in violent criminals being released on the streets and a crime wave across New York City.
But when it came to Donald Trump, Bragg lurched in the other direction, upgrading what normally would have been misdemeanor charges against anyone else to 34 felony charges against the former president. How can this sudden “about-face” be explained other than politics?
Jonathan Turley, who is no fan of Donald Trump, has been covering the trial closely and has found more than a little disturbing the exuberant celebrations of Trump’s conviction among the mainstream media and his political opponents. Recently, he wrote:
“The conviction of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan of 34 felonies produced citywide celebrations [which] extended to the media, where former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace that it was ‘majestic day’ and ‘a day to celebrate.’ When I left the courthouse after watching the verdict come in, I was floored by the celebrations outside by both the public and some of the media.”
Regardless of one’s view of Donald Trump, it is a disturbing development in our society when justice is treated more like a football game where you root for your “team” rather than a way of preserving our freedom and liberty in an equal way for all.
The real goal of the trial was political. None other than George Soros’ son Alex let the cat out of the bag recently when he advised fellow Trump-haters how to take advantage of the trial result. He posted on Twitter after the verdict, “Democrats should refer to Trump as a convicted felon at every opportunity. Repetition is the key to a successful message and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country!”
It was not about justice in any way. It was all about being able to call the likely Republican presidential nominee a “felon” so as to undermine his support among voters. In other words, election interference.
The market has a way of prevailing, however. The repeated attempts at using “lawfare” to remove Trump from the political scene have all backfired and actually have served to make the former president even more popular among voters. Immediately after Trump’s conviction on the 34 charges he began sending out fundraising appeals based on his “persecution” by the state of New York. As of this writing, he has, according to press reports, raised over $200 million for his campaign.
The politicization of justice is not limited to the Democratic Party. The wind sown by political opponents of Donald Trump may well become the whirlwind they reap when their own political opponents are in positions of power. When that is the case, we all lose.

Watch: Megyn Kelly Destroys Legal Analyst Over Trump’s Guilty Verdict
Political commentator Megyn Kelly obliterated pundit Dan Abrams’ mainstream media talking points in a debate over former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict.
Abrams, host of News Nation’s “Dan Abrams Live” and legal analyst for ABC News, argued Sunday that “wrongdoing” was proven in Trump’s case that warranted 34 guilty counts.
Kelly asked him, “What was it?”

“Paying 130k to a porn star to keep her quiet,” Abrams replied.
“That’s not illegal,” Kelly noted.
But Abrams claimed that the “hush money” payment was illegal because Trump did it to “protect his campaign.”
“Absolutely not correct on every level,” Kelly retorted.
“When you’re doing it to protect your campaign, it is [illegal],” Abrams insisted.
Kelly asked, “What law are you citing?”
“Campaign finance laws,” Abrams replied.
But Kelly shut him down: “Wrong, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It does not amount to a campaign contribution if it is the kind of payment that could ever be made outside of the campaign context. There’s been Supreme Court precedent on this.”
Other constitutional scholars like Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz — both Democrats — likewise recently claimed they don’t know what crime Trump actually committed in the NYC case.
Who do you think won this exchange? Sound off in the comments below.
It’s Illegal To Be Right Wing
It’s illegal to be right wing in large parts of the Western world today. Or it might as well be.
No, there aren’t any laws making it a crime to be right wing—criminalising the belief, for example, that nations are more than just economic groupings whose output can and should be maximised by unrestricted immigration, or that patriotism, rooted in love of place, people and their shared history, is the highest value—but there might as well be.
Conditions are now so prejudicial towards right-wing people, and even the most basic expressions of right-wing values and ideas, that for all intents and purposes being right wing really is illegal.
We shouldn’t be naïve about the way the law or power works. If we’ve read our Aristotle and our John Stuart Mill, we should know that, yes, tyrants make bad laws, but they also rely on other less formal methods to get what they want. That includes selective enforcement of the law and also, significantly, the weight of public pressure. In the 21st century, there’s a whole array of institutions Aristotle could never have dreamed of, not least of all the mainstream media, that can be used to single out, shame and thoroughly ruin the lives of ordinary people at the behest of the tyrant.
After all, the government didn’t have to make vaccination mandatory during the pandemic for vaccination to be mandatory. Instead they relied on fear, herd dynamics—the common aversion to sticking out from the crowd—and threats, including the threat of being unable to travel or visit loved ones, to make most people feel they had no choice whatsoever in the matter. Of course, they did have a choice, but the barrier to exercising a genuine choice was courage—and courage is a commodity that’s always in short supply.
Anyway, in support of my proposition that being right-wing is basically illegal, here are two examples.
First, Germany. A video circulates of a group of wealthy party kids partying at a club on the wealthy party island of Sylt. They’re dancing and clowning around singing “Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus!” —“Germany for the Germans, foreigners out!”—to the tune of cheesy noughties Eurodans hit “L’amour Toujours” by Gigi D’Agostino.
Whatever you think of the sentiment—pretty innocuous in right-wing terms, where a nation, as I say, is more than just an arbitrary economic grouping—it would have been hard to predict the firestorm that awaited these young revellers.
The video has become a national scandal in Germany. “Respectable” newspapers like Bild swooped in, ruthlessly, to identify the partygoers, reveal their personal details—something German newspapers generally refuse to do, especially when crimes involve foreigners or leftists—and basically just ruin their lives. Some of the kids identified have already been fired or face expulsion from university.
But it gets worse. Now German politicians are demanding the “maximum penalty” for these dangerous subversives. That makes it sound like they’re seeking the death penalty, and they surely would if it were available to them. Instead they’ll have to settle for a judicial stretch. The video has been condemned by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and SPD politician Bärbel Bas has described the chant as an “unconstitutional slogan.” The maximum sentence for “unconstitutional symbols,” by the way, is five years in prison.
Five years in prison, for singing “Germany for the Germans, foreigners out!”
Second example: England. Sam Melia, a young father, has recently been sent to prison for possession of stickers. The stickers were not illegal, a fact acknowledged by the prosecution and by the judge who presided over the case. The stickers stated basic truths about the speed of demographic change in the UK, and urged readers not to feel guilty about being patriotic or white.
“Nationalism is nurture,” read one.
“We will be a minority in our homeland.”
“Diversity: designed to fail, built to replace.”
And here’s a particularly chilling one: “Love your nation.”
What was at issue in the case, rather than the slogans themselves, was Melia’s intent with the stickers. The prosecution claimed, and the judge agreed, that because Melia is right-wing—and therefore obviously a racist—his intent was to stir up racial hatred, so that’s what he was convicted for.
Again, it gets worse. In the last week, Melia and his wife, Laura Towler, were told that prison authorities had deemed him a threat to his own children, and so Laura would no longer be able to bring him photographs of his two children, including his new daughter, who was born after he entered prison, nor would she even be able to speak to him about them. Sam was labelled a “Person Posing Risk to Children” (PPRC) because of his “racist posters, insignia and literature” and his “racist and offensive attitudes.”
So a man in Britain can be a threat to his own children, on the order of a sex offender or rapist, simply for telling his fellow countrymen, “Love your nation.” It’s worth remembering that Britain is a country where pedophiles regularly walk free from court, and Asian grooming gangs abuse and rape British girls on an industrial scale, with impunity, simply for being white and British.
As a Brit myself, I don’t really know what to say. I love my country, but I also hate it, as only a man in love can hate.
Across Europe, left and right—or “right,” should I say—are united in persecuting ordinary patriotic men and women for loving their countries and abhorring the terrible chaos that has been unleashed upon them by their craven, self-serving elites. Germany’s ruling left-liberal coalition and Britain’s fake Conservatives are terrified of the emergence of a genuine popular right-wing movement that holds them accountable for their crimes and sweeps them from power into the dustbin of history.
In Germany, that means the Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has become the single most popular party in the nation and, crucially, the most popular party among young people under 30. Now, perhaps, you see why that video of attractive young Germans harnessing rebellion and vitality to right-wing ideas elicited such a reaction from the sclerotic, dead-eyed functionaries who rule Germany.
In Britain, a true right-wing movement is less well formed, for various reasons including the nature of the electoral system, but it’s of significance that Melia is or was a prominent member of the right-wing group Patriotic Alternative.
Germany’s ruling government and the Conservative party both face electoral wipeout—the Tories in a matter of weeks—which will only make their attempts to suppress true opposition from the right even more desperate. And in Germany, at least, the government has openly flirted with the idea of actually making it illegal to be right wing, by banning the AfD altogether. They may yet do so, but for the moment, such openly anti-democratic measures are not needed.

Females Now Enter Puberty Earlier, Have More Irregular Cycles — Study
A study published Wednesday reports that girls are experiencing their first period earlier in life, and that their menstrual cycles are becoming more and more irregular, particularly in black and brown girls, which the researchers posited may be caused by ‘racism’.
“This cohort study of 71,341 US female individuals born between 1950 and 2005 found significant trends toward earlier menarche and longer time to regularity over time,” the study said in the ‘Findings’ section.
The researchers said that accelerating the onset of menarche can lead to adverse health outcomes.
“These findings suggest that early-life menstrual characteristics have been trending in directions that indicate higher risk of later adverse health outcomes, which may contribute to health disparities,” the study said in the ‘Meanings’ section.
The study went more in depth detailing the phenomenon.
“Early menarche is associated with increased risk of adverse health outcomes, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, spontaneous abortion, and premature death,3–9 whereas late menarche is associated with increased risk of fractures.10,11 Studies have found trends toward earlier menarche during the past 5 to 10 decades in the US as well as globally12–19,” the study said in the ‘Introduction’ section.
Early onset puberty was observed to be more severe in black and brown females than in white females.
“We found that non-Hispanic Black participants had consistently earlier mean age at menarche than White participants, also similar to prior US-based studies.13,20–26 We also found that non-Hispanic Black participants had a larger magnitude of change toward earlier menarche across birth year categories compared with non-Hispanic White participants. Similarly, we found other groups (Asian and other or multiple races), rarely evaluated in previous studies of menarche, also had consistently earlier mean ages and larger magnitudes of change toward earlier menarche than non-Hispanic White participants,” the study said in the ‘Discussion’ section.
Perhaps shockingly, the researchers hypothesized that black girls may be entering puberty earlier due to racism.
“The factors driving this widening gap of disparities remain to be explored; transethnic genome-wide association studies indicated that these disparities are unlikely to be attributed to genetic variations, suggesting they may be driven by other environmental or contextual factors that may, through racism, impact different pathways, leading to earlier menarche60,” the study said in the ‘Discussion’ section.
While many factors can alter the time to menstruation, such as soy, plastics and cow hormones, they’re not the only causes for discrepancies of first menstruation.
The Covid vaccines, which have been administered since 2021, have been proven to cause reproductive destruction, although their effects are likely not at play with the overall reduction of age at which women enter puberty at despite them causing problems relating to menstruation.
