Trump’s lawyers appeal of Judge McAfee’s order in Fani Willis case; Trump’s NY lawyers file massive appeal in the real estate case; and libs call for Trump judge's removal after her 2-page order.
Thank you Mr. Childers for your dissection of the latest round of lawfare. I'm a lawyer and I can't keep up.
The only thing I've drawn from any of this is that procedural norms appear to have all been thrown out the window and everything that I thought I learned in law school and in years of practice no longer seem to apply. On top of this, I am still struggling with (ahem) 'Justice" Jackson's mind-boggling remark about the First Amendment and Main Stream Media prediction of a pro-Administration decision from SCOTUS in Murthy v Missouri.
What better way to destroy the foundations of a society than to attack its judicial system.
How is the NY real estate case not in violation of the 8th amendment? Not victims no loss etc but a 450 million fine? Tibbs vs Indiana decided in 2019 over the state attempting to seize a 40,000 vehicle from a drug dealer was overturned by the US Supreme Court 9-0 as excessive fine because the state maximum statutory fine was $10,000 for the crime the defendant was guilty of.
The psyops is working. My 85 year old father admitted to me over the weekend, unsolicited, that the government hates us and that there was no reason for us to get involved in the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and all other recent military operations. Everything happening right now is even waking up my elderly father.
What we see over and over with these Trump hating judges (actually any Trump-hater in power) is that they exercise almost no self-control. Someone smart and thoughtful would understand that using extreme measures (such as requiring a $464M appeal bond) would likely be counter-productive in the big scheme of things. It appears outrageous to the layperson and complicates things legally.
Yet they can't help themselves, they are blinded by hatred fueled by hubris (plus they just aren't very intelligent to boot). One of the things I've taught my kids is that decisions based on emotion are almost always bad ones. You have to calm down and think things through before acting except in extremely time-urgent situations (which almost all decisions aren't). Somehow these people never learned this.
The bond to appeal in the NY case was 100% designed to be punitive. That was the point. After all, the case was never about justice. It was designed to punish President Trump, keep him busy, and severely weaken his economic position.
An elderly veteran limped into the car dealership where my friend works as a service manager and sat down in his office. He just had a knee replacement and they had found a blood clot when operating. He said with all the weird health problems circulating with his family and friends, he concluded it must be from the repeated shots the government mandated … He seemed totally beat down and defeated, when he softly said, he couldn’t believe the country he loved and fought for, would knowingly do this to its people. It literally brought my unvaxed friend to tears.
Thank you Jeff Childers for being my new voice of reason as well as good humor. Reason and humor.... where can you get such a great combo for less I ask you????
The words of the wise heard in restfulness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
To the date of four years ago, Michigan has shut down their Coronavirus government updating site. In the first almost two years it was daily updating, horrifying people via msm who duly reported numbers of daily deaths. Then it went to 3 times a week, then twice and for the last year it’s been once a week. They claim the data will all be archived, (which was always highly suspicious), but just checking on our local county stats for the last week, it was already removed. There will never be any chance to audit their corrupted numbers. But the “good” news is the statewide emergency has finally been rescinded….covid will officially be logged like influenza strains…
The abominations occurring in NYC are the template for the entire country in the coming years. The complete loss of rule-of-law and the destruction of those who oppose the DC Swamp's tyranny.
Great update on Trump’s legal proceedings. Encouraging! I was afraid Lawfare Letitia would sell Trump’s NY real esteem for pennies on the dollar to the Biden and Hochul families.
Everything happening seems so overwhelming, until we remember that it’s all spiritual warfare. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.” People in very high places (and some in not so high, like District courts) have been doing the enemy’s bidding for a very long time. But be of good cheer; we know Who wins! 🙏🏻

Very interesting legal analyses! Another key reason I tune in to C&C more than any other substack.
All this lawfare does show the little guy has no chance when they can overwhelm you with legal assaults for which you could never afford a defense.

I compared getting rid of Wade with spraying air freshener while leaving the rotting garage in the house.
