Report of Trump smoking out lawyers with putrid farts in court still unproven
Donald Trump reportedly has been farting as he’s been falling asleep during his New York hush money criminal trial. These allegations primarily stem from viral reports and a video circulated online, purportedly originating from Ben Meiselas of Midas Touch. His sources said the flatulence emitted a putrid odor, causing discomfort among Trump’s lawyers. However, the veracity of these claims remains unproven, lacking concrete evidence or identifiable sources. The absurdity of such claims underscores the surreal nature of the situation, with a former President of the United States regularly falling asleep during his criminal trial, and allegedly passing gas as he does so.
Is this ONE Trump juror DETERMINED to vote not guilty?
In Donald Trump's first criminal trial, concerns have arisen regarding juror number two's potential bias towards acquitting Trump based on their reported news sources. While initial reports suggested the juror exclusively relied on Truth Social and X, platforms associated with Trump and Elon Musk, respectively, further clarification from the juror reveals a broader media consumption that includes diverse sources such as Michael Cohen's content and the left-leaning podcast “Mueller, She Wrote.” This clarification raises questions about the initial portrayal of the juror's media habits and the extent of their potential bias. While the presence of a juror with apparent affiliations to Trump's platforms raises eyebrows, it's also crucial to consider the dynamics within the jury room. Despite the potential for one juror to hold out, the influence of social pressure from the majority cannot be discounted, potentially affecting the final verdict. Therefore, while concerns about juror bias exist, the outcome of the trial will likely depend on how evidence is presented.

Trump support CRASHING as criminal trial underway
Donald Trump's approval ratings are plummeting amidst his ongoing criminal trial. Despite Joe Biden's lead in recent polls, the race remains tight. Recent reports indicate a stark decline in Trump's support, with polls by Reuters Ipsos and The New York Times/Siena showing Biden extending his lead by four points since March. The trend is consistent, with Trump's approval ratings plummeting from a positive five in January to a negative four in April. However, the race remains tightly contested, with variations across different polling sources. While some polls, like YouGov/Economist, show a dead heat, others, such as Echelon Insights, give Biden a narrow lead. Concerns arise regarding third-party candidates' impact, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. polling at 11% in some surveys, potentially siphoning votes away from Biden. With the election still months away, the focus remains on tracking the shifting dynamics and encouraging people to register and get out the vote.

Book bans EXPLODE, record 4,000 books banned this school year
Despite the Republican Party supposedly advocating for more freedom of speech and less government intervention, recent data reveals a sharp increase in book bans, reaching a record 4,000 during the 2023-2024 school year. This surge spans 42 states, with Florida and Texas leading in numbers, aligning with specific bills targeting such bans. The reasoning behind these bans often revolves around obscenity laws and exaggerated claims regarding content deemed inappropriate, particularly focusing on sexual violence, LGBTQ+ themes, and critical race theory. Critics argue that these bans impede academic freedom and undermine the expertise of professional educators. Despite claims of supporting free speech and diversity of ideas, actions taken by some on the right leading to these book bans contradict these principles, sparking debates over the future of educational policies and interventions.
