Outrage as Oklahoma Republican’s bill labels Hispanic people ‘terrorists’

Oklahoma GOP labels Hispanics 'terrorists'

An Oklahoma lawmaker is facing backlash for proposing a discriminatory bill that deems people of Hispanic descent as “terrorists”.

The Republican state representative JJ Humphrey introduced the bill, HB 3133, which seeks to combat problems in the state, such as drug and human trafficking, and lay out punishments to those who have committed these “acts of terrorism”.

The punishment for such a crime would be forfeiting all assets, including any and all property, vehicles and money.

In addition to “a member of a criminal street gang” and someone who “has been convicted of a gang-related offense”, the bill defines a terrorist as “any person who is of Hispanic descent living within the state of Oklahoma”.

Judge denies Trump’s request to hold Jack Smith in contempt in federal 2020 election case

Judge ChutkanThe federal judge overseeing the 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump on Thursday rejected his lawyers’ bid to hold special counsel Jack Smith’s team in contempt for actions prosecutors took after the judge put the case on hold. But the judge said no further “substantive” court filings should be submitted without permission.

The former president’s lawyers had accused prosecutors of “outrageous conduct” for turning over to the defense thousands of pages of evidence and filing a motion after the judge paused the case while Trump appeals his presidential immunity claim. The defense said prosecutors were violating a court order that put the case on hold so Trump can pursue his claim in higher courts.

Raffensperger says Trump repeating ‘recycled conspiracy theories’: ‘Boring and sad’

Ga. Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) took aim at former President Trump on Wednesday for repeating “recycled conspiracy theories” about his 2020 election loss while on the campaign trail again in 2024.

In an editorial published Wednesday in National Review, Raffensperger said Trump and his supporters are “merely repeating the same tired and long-disproven assertions” about the 2020 election, which Raffensperger described as “repetitive, boring, and sad.”

He compared Trump’s false 2020 election fraud claims to the “the water fixtures in front of the Bellagio in Las Vegas,” which he said are “certainly entertaining at first” but soon “become predictable and boring.”

“The big lie about the 2020 election, repeated now for more than three years, has brought forward no proof and nothing that hasn’t been publicly known since January 2021,” Raffensperger wrote.

Florida man sentenced to 5 yrs. for Jan 6 assault of officer

A Florida man was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to three felonies, including assaulting a law enforcement officer during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

The Justice Department (DOJ) announced the sentencing of Kenneth Bonawitz, a 58-year-old “Proud Boys” member, whom DOJ described as “one of the more violent January 6 rioters.”

Bonawitz was sentenced to 60 months in prison, 36 months supervised release and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and fines. He also pleaded guilty to felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding, the DOJ said.

Bonawitz “assaulted at least six law enforcement officers on the West Plaza” on Jan. 6, 2021. The attacks, several of which are detailed in the news release, “included hurling himself at officers and tackling them to the ground, placing one officer in a chokehold, and lifting the officer up by the neck,” the DOJ said.

Heckling and threats: Judge warns he will kick Donald Trump out of E. Jean Carroll defamation trial

Judge throw Trump out of courtA federal judge threatened to bounce former President Donald Trump from the courtroom Wednesday after he ignored warnings to keep silent during testimony by writer E. Jean Carroll during a civil defamation trial.

"Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to consider excluding you from the trial,” Judge Lewis Kaplan told the 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner after Carroll's lawyers complained that the jury could hear him disparaging the former advice columnist's testimony. “I understand you're probably eager for me to do that.”

“I would love it,” Trump growled back from the defense table.

“You just can't control yourself in this circumstance, apparently,” Judge Kaplan replied.

Trump White House official Peter Navarro loses his bid for a new contempt of Congress trial

Peter Navarro

A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a bid for a new trial for Peter Navarro, a Trump White House official convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack.

Navarro, who served as a White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump, was found guilty by a jury in Washington's federal court for defying a subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House Jan. 6 committee. He's scheduled to be sentenced later this month.

Navarro's lawyers argued he was entitled to a new trial, alleging that jurors may have been improperly influenced by political protesters when they took a break outside the courthouse before announcing a verdict in September.

Donald Trump wins Iowa Republican caucuses in first contests of 2024

Trump wins Iowa caucus

Former President Donald Trump has won the Iowa Republican caucuses, according to a race call by The Associated Press. More than 70 percent of Iowa GOP caucus goers voted for Trump, according to the AP. Less than 1 percent of the vote has been counted as of 8:38pm ET.

Despite canceling three of his four in-person campaign events over the weekend due to harsh winter weather, Trump called on his supporters to get out and caucus.

"You can't sit home," he said at a rally in Indianola on Sunday. "Even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it."

Trump has enjoyed a strong lead in Iowa polls since last spring, according to FiveThirtyEight. He also increased that lead over the course of last year, leaving Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley to battle for second place in Iowa.

TVNL Comment:  Still, more Iowans voted against Trump than supported other candidates. Is that a real victory?
