Hawaii Senate Dem Majority Leader Gets 3 Years in Prison for Bribery

Former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English, 55, pleaded guilty to honest services wire fraud in February, admitting he accepted bribes from a Hawaii business owner in exchange for shaping legislation that would benefit a company involved in publicly financed cesspool conversion projects...

English “peddled the power and influence of his position as a Hawaii State Senator and Majority Leader to enrich himself and betray the trust bestowed upon him by those he was elected to serve,” U.S. prosecutors said in a sentencing memo urging the judge to send him to prison for three-and-a-half years.

The sentence, a little more than three years, must send a “stern and lasting message” that corruption of elected officials will be punished, the memo said. ...

Choy is a prolific donor, as are his immediate family members and business associates. Choy, his family members, and his employees from various companies have donated more than $356,000 to political campaigns since 2014, according to campaign finance data. Of that, Choy has contributed more than $160,000 to the elections and reelections of numerous Democrats.

Choy himself has donated to 55 campaigns — including 29 sitting lawmakers — since 2014. Money has gone to former Gov. Neil Abercrombie and current Gov. David Ige. He has most recently contributed to former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s campaign for governor, and to Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s campaign.


"Stern and lasting message" my ass. Only life in prison will do. Singapore is a much better country than the US in this way.

Ah, delaying approval of generic drugs protects Pfizer profits for high-priced drugs still under patent.

It's especially flagrant corruption to delay approval of generics because they are by definition drugs which have already been approved under a brand name.

Guess they are going to play out the 'incompetency' card rather than the 'it was never Biden to begin with' card. Maybe Trump is just shivering their timbers to get more of them bailing out to State's evidence at peril of being murdered by the CIA/SES.

Autopens are in secure locations - where are the logs? It's not like it's a rubber stamp stuffed in the corner of a drawer.

No they are not because we now have evidence that the autopen was used in the
White House in DC while Biden was playing Golf in the Caribbean. This says
that everything signed with the autopen is invalid.

SCOTUS doesn't have any authority over judicial impeachments. Roberts doesn't like the water getting warmer anywhere judges are sitting, is all.

Interesting insight from Dr. Soon: America's biotech research is ruthlessly stifled by Pfizer and Merck to protect the massive revenue streams from their existing drugs.

Dr. Soon developed some way of stimulating "Natural Killer Cells" to fight Fauci's virus, but Francis Collins in particular blocked it to protect Pfizer's mRNA death jabs, which attempted to use the much weaker antibody method, but with disastrous results because it turns humans into toxic spike protein factories.

China does not have Pfizer and Merck actively undermining innovation because they do not have such companies in control of their "public health" agencies. So their pace of research is far faster than ours now, and they have overtaken the US in some areas of biomedical research exactly because of this.

LAREDO, Texas – A former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer has been sentenced to federal prison in two separate cases for allowing aliens and cocaine across the border, announced U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei.

Emanuel Isac Celedon, 37, Laredo, pleaded guilty March 11, 2024, for his role in illegally smuggling illegal aliens into the United States through the Lincoln Juarez Port of Entry (POE) in Laredo. He also admitted to bribery and attempted importation of cocaine for accepting money to allow what he thought was cocaine to cross into the United States from Mexico.

COVID vaccine pregnancy study should have us worried

A major study has been published in the Paediatrics journal, apparently showing that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe in pregnancy (Rowe et al), but my background in analytic philosophy, which is very useful in pointing out flaws in arguments, keeps preventing me from accepting these sorts of studies as gospel - and in one of those rare cases the prestigious journal let me have my say. Source. Highlights:

There are “several ties between the study’s authors and COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers such as Pfizer, Moderna, and Novavax”. We worried about conflicts of interest, or nah?

There were “20,341 pregnancies excluded due to pregnancy outcomes “other than livebirth”, which would include miscarriages and stillbirths… over 20% of the pregnancies that could legitimately have comprised the final cohort” of just under 100,000. Ridonkulous! Even just “a handful of cases could result in a very different conclusion”. And shouldn’t we already start asking questions about the fact that the number of pregnancy outcomes not resulting in live birth seems to be a little high? What happened to the curiosity of scientists over the past few years? I, for one, would really like to know how many of these females* were jabbed. How about you?

I note that the jab has been shown in various studies to have at least temporary effects on menstruation and semen, and can be found in breastmilk, the placenta, and the fetus.

I take issue with the study’s very narrow counting windows, since counting window issues can have a huge impact on estimating how safe and effective the jabs really are. Despite the misinformation put out by, well, everyone, we are now finding that the jab and/or its products can be found in vivo even years after vaccination.

Despite these issues the study found no differences “in the prevalence of major structural birth defects… given COVID-19 vaccination”. So what does it look like when we start addressing these issues?

Okay then.

*Extra: As a side note, the article, despite being about pregnancy, never uses the word ‘female’. Here is how the obvious females are described: “Study participants were pregnant people—including women and transgender people with the ability to become pregnant—aged 18 to 49 years. Throughout this manuscript, we use the term “maternal” to indicate exposures during pregnancy or attributes of a pregnant person, and, respectively, acknowledge this may encompass pregnant non-cisgendered individuals.” That was apparently far more important than addressing the critical issues discussed above. Trust the science…

I told you guys. It 100% messes with the cycle for females. Not sure about males as I'm not looking for more kids. I haven't heard anything with guys that have taken it though.

I've mentioned I see a therapist occasionally. I told him and he thought I was crazy. I'm like do a quick search bud for females, I live with it. He's like holy shit I didn't know. No one is informed of what they've taken or know the side effects.

My sister and a friend each took the vaccine and had to have hysterectomies in the last 3 months. I anticipate my wife will in the next 5 years at longest. The long term effects seem like they're taking 4-5 years. I'm saying if your wife or girlfriend took the jab, my anecdotal evidence is reproductive organs are getting torn out in the really near future. I keep the peace, but they're miserable humans, females after the jab.

Sorry to hear that. My worst fear is that the spike protein will be incorporated into the germ line; namely, those who took the clot shot and bear children will have these children also express the spike protein, so that the children are also infertile. If we can do anything, it's to tell our children and our grandchildren to say, "FUCK NO" to any and all vaccines, at least until (and this is effectively never) they can be proven to be "safe and effective."

Sadly, easier said than done. Having seen 'drug tests' in various situations, they are a serious quagmire. They have to be standardized and specified per alleged drug. Many tests miss many drugs if not specifically assayed. Also, there are issues of 'false positives' and 'false negatives' because tests are stochastically fallible.

Also, the drug testing 'industry' itself is rife with fraud and invasion of privacy issues. Bribes can result in 'clean' tests, or bribes can result in 'dirty' tests to slander the innocent. Claims can be made for 'therapeutic' drug use with all the various paid off doctors and gurus.

It's not something that government would ever do correctly or get right, and would be corrupted right away. Look at all the 'health tests' that some crackpot MD will sign favoring one politician or another aka the Biden actors. There never seems to be a President who doesn't have sterling high marks on their physical and mental exams.

Yes. Obviously removing women's reproductive organs/parts are going to cause hormonal change. Those that got jabbed are exponentially happier even after a rough surgery. I've witnessed it with a good friend and my sister. Literally two months later they're a happier person.

Not going to push hard at this point building a house, but think my wife should do it. Get a hysterectomy. I know a vasectomy is easier, but I swear that vaccine has fucked her up. We're not looking for kids. I can go without at the current moment. Not her fault outside of getting the vaccine, but I don't blame her.

Interested to see long term side effects in males and reproduction that took it. It 100% messes with females and no one can convince me otherwise.

First, let’s consider what all this means. I’ll start with my point of view: Both Dugan and Cano must be prosecuted aggressively — not just for individual accountability, but to send a clear signal that domestic sabotage of immigration enforcement is criminal, not heroic. Otherwise, the rule of law, already bleeding out, will die on the operating table.

The two cases are remarkably similar. Behold:

Sitting judges,

Engaging in criminal acts,

To protect illegal alien defendants involved in violent crime and/or cartel activity,

Directly interfering with federal law enforcement.

The juxtaposition of the two eerily similar cases involving two judges in two different states arrested on the same day paints a picture. It’s a dystopian picture of decentralized, ideological sabotage of immigration enforcement inside the judiciary itself. Judges are no longer passively ignoring federal law through non-cooperation but actively working against it through affirmative criminal acts of their own.

It’s an insurrection from behind the bench.

Aggressive prosecution isn’t optional. It’s mandatory. If we wish to retain the ‘rule of law,’ that is.

The political fallout was explosive. Corporate media, Democrats, and BlueSky’s blue-checks were apoplectic, practically foaming at the mouth. In situ, silver-haired boomer protestors, supported by canes and walkers, popped up outside Dugan’s courthouse...

But some progressive legal experts were slightly more cautious. MSNBC’s legal expert, for example, wondered whether this was the “best way to handle” what are admittedly bad-looking facts for the judge. He said, “It doesn't look great for the judge, no matter how you slice it. But was this kind of escalatory action the best course of action, to actually go and arrest her, take her to court, and federally charge her? That's a big step.” ...

In short, MSNBC’s expert Dilania called for ‘prosecutorial restraint.’ In other words, maybe judges should be above the law after all, if they’re on our team.

We tried to warn them. But they couldn’t conceive of Trump winning the election.

All that said, horrified progressive politicians and hysterical corporate media are missing the point. Judges get arrested all the time. Here are three examples: Judge arrested for DUI:

Yavapai County judge accused of extreme DUI takes plea deal

Douglas County probate judge charged with felony in Atlanta

California judge who allegedly texted court staff that he shot his wife pleads not guilty

So this is not just about arresting judges.

The next thing the media missed is that Judges Cano and Dugan are categorically different from other judicial arrestees. Judges Cano and Dugan didn’t just lapse morally — they used their official judicial power to actively sabotage federal law enforcement. The two new cases don’t just show a lapse in judgment, they show judges misusing their authority to fight federal law on behalf of foreign criminal interests.

It’s an existential threat to judicial legitimacy. Some judges have apparently forgotten where their authority comes from. ...

Progressives and their media allies have been pushing back on Trump’s mass deportations, framing them as cruel and lacking proper due process. Liberal judges have been interfering with the agenda every way they can, with multiple cases having already reached the Supreme Court. Public frustration has been steadily mounting on both sides; liberals jubilant about the effective judicial resistance, conservatives furious at progressive jurists’ attempts to stymie a clear electoral mandate to remove illegal criminals.

This isn’t any sudden new Trump strategy. The Cano case shows the DOJ started working on this problem from the moment Trump took office in January. They were obviously primed to locate clear cases of judicial misconduct— and fate handed them two perfect examples on a silver salver.

Using its long-standing tools of selective reporting, media is doing its best to obscure the real facts. But now we have Twitter and Substack. And the facts are gushing out.

The progressive wailing on BlueSky is actually grief; grief at their dwindling deportations narrative, a narrative of courageous judges standing up to the Trump Administration’s cruel deportation machine. They are panicking because they suspect the double arrests will chill judicial resistance going forward (though I’ll bet we hear much less about Judge Cano’s case).

Now, instead of courageous judicial resisters, America sees lawless judges helping gangbangers and domestic abusers escape justice. MAGA sees long-awaited arrests beginning. The base sees the DOJ finally arresting the Swamp’s protectors, instead of just endlessly complaining about the Swamp.

Many conservatives have long believed (with good reason) that no matter what or who they voted for, the permanent bureaucracy and the progressive judiciary would just nullify it. But now, conservatives are seeing something they thought could never happen: real consequences for real lawbreaking— by elites. And not for minor procedural slip-ups or technicalities, but for dangerous legal sabotage that endangered innocent American citizens.

In other words, just when Democrats were celebrating over Trump’s slipping approval polls, he served up Judges Cano and Dugan. Progressives can’t help themselves. They took the bait.

Recent polls showed Trump’s approval numbers slipping slightly after weeks of media-driven attacks. Progressive pundits crowed about “shifting momentum.” BlueSky, MSNBC, and the ex-Biden team were giddy, sensing a narrative opening: Maybe Trump’s mass deportations are finally backfiring! ...

But the reality is much more damning: these cases involved violent and gang-connected criminals — defendants who judges granted special privileges that ordinary Americans like you and me would never receive. One judge smuggled a domestic abuser out of court to evade ICE; another destroyed evidence to protect a Venezuelan gang member tied to illegal firearms.

The media’s flimsy narrative about defending judicial independence won’t hold up under the harsh light of the facts. It won’t hold up because Americans can clearly sense the inherent injustice: Democrats are trying in vain to defend their two-tiered justice system — one system for protected classes of criminals, and another for the rest of us.

Just when Democrats thought they were gaining ground, Trump flipped the narrative table and is smothering them with it. He forced progressives to switch from offense —attacking Trump— to defending indefensible judges, at precisely the worst time. It’s politically suicidal.

It’s also the first cautious steps on the road to flattening the two-tiered justice system. Now the nation is on notice. Everyone, on all sides, is wondering: if the DOJ has grown an appetite for eating judges who defy federal law— who’s next?
