PHOTO WHITE HOUSEdonald trump Thursday was a dark day in America. For the first time in our history, a former President of the United States was impeached. It was a purely political move by a unilateral Justice Department. Not only was it used to distract from Biden’s $5 million bribery bombshell with Ukraine, it was election interference at the highest level. As an American patriot, I am livid. Today there is a double standard. If you’re a Democrat or a leftist, you can get away with anything. If you are a Republican or more conservative, you are guilty of everything….

In his first two campaign stops since facing federal charges, Donald J. Trump will begin publicly prosecuting the prosecutors who are prosecuting him on Saturday. The two speeches of Mr. Trump at the Republican state conventions in Georgia and North Carolina were planned before he was indicted on Thursday. The appearances on Saturday afternoon and evening will allow the former president to rally support in front of a crowd of activists and elected officials as the nation’s most popular Republican and the favorite for the 2024 presidential nomination.

“Moving forward, we have to find a way to start closing that gap and make sure the state doesn’t spend more money than it needs; Unfortunately, the budget passed by the House would make this problem much, much worse,” Martin said in an emailed response to questions about the budget.

LONDON — Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson left chaos in his wake on Saturday after storming out of Parliament with a blast at fellow lawmakers whom he accused of ousting him in a “witch hunt”. As opponents jeered, the Tory government absorbed the shock of another Johnson earthquake, while a band of loyal supporters insisted the divisive former British leader could still return. Less than a year after he was ousted as prime minister by his own Conservative Party, Johnson unexpectedly resigned as a lawmaker on Friday afternoon, “at least for now,” he said in a self-justifying resignation statement….

Former President Donald J. Trump has a lot at stake in the federal criminal case against him. He could, in theory, go to prison for years. But if he ends up in the dock before a jury, it’s no exaggeration to suggest that American justice will also be on trial. The first federal indictment in history against a former president poses one of the most serious challenges to democracy the country has ever faced. It represents either a validation of the principle of the rule of law that even the most powerful face responsibility for their actions or the moment…

PARIS – Breaking news: He fooled us all into thinking he had been playing at the top of tennis for a decade. But no, Carlos Alcaraz is 20 years old. And until recently I was a “teenager”. Those tender 20-year-olds were evident in Friday’s Roland Garros semi-final loss to Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, when a succession of cramps rendered the Spaniard an impotent tennis player. “What happened today is mental, I went into the match more tense than usual, I couldn’t relax, from the start of the match I had an extra tension which in the end took its toll”, admitted…
