BREAKING NEWS : Trump Convicted in Hush Money Trial

-

By Mona Austin

A Manhattan jury has found former Pres. Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in a "hush money" case revolving around his attempt to cover up an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. A 12-person jury delivered the unprecedented decision after nearly 12 hours of deliberations.


The verdict confirmed Trump's $130k pay out to Daniels was done to hide their relationship while he was running for office. Trump is the first ex-president in history to be convicted of a crime. Being found of guilty linked to falsifying business records finally shows he is not above the law.

But when it comes to getting indicted in court the 45th president has been there, done that and has the t-shirt, but so far has not suffered the consequence. Will Trump get jail time or continue to run for the presidency? In an email sent out to constituents shortly after the verdict the freshly convicted felon stated no matter how many times he's indicted he will "never surrender."

After a 5-week trial a jury of his peers returned a verdict in two days. Sentencing is scheduled and it is fully left in the hands of Judge Juan Merchan whether the ex-U.S. leader will be incarcerated. Trump's attorneys have already requested an acquittal, which Mechan immediately rejected.

The White House Counsel’s Office spokesperson: “We respect the rule of law, and have no additional comment.”

The Biden campaign pounced on the news to fund-raise too. “There’s only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box,” Biden posted on X, alongside a link for donations.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans.

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
