Fox News host Mark Levin criticized the Supreme Court Friday for not halting President-elect Donald Trump’s sentencing, saying “they got played” by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
New York Judge Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to an “unconditional discharge” Friday, officially entering the president-elect’s conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Levin singled out Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett for blame over the court’s 5-4 ruling, saying they legitimized a “corrupt process,” and the high court missed a chance to issue a final ruling on the case instead of having to address it again in the future.

“This will be remembered as an absolute injustice from the beginning. Now, I haven’t been able to listen much because I was at the doctor, to some of the commentary but I would say that interlocutory appeals and the New York system and they don’t normally take them and so forth is all quite true,” Levin told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. “The problem here, and I think the four other justices on the court, originalists, understood it, was crucial the Supreme Court take up this case the way they took up Bush versus Gore because it is the most extraordinarily outrageous case in modern times.”
“You have three great lawyers telling you over and over again why that’s the case. You’re stuck in a legal system that is, for whatever reason highly corrupt, highly partisan. But the Supreme Court had a responsibility to defend the Supreme Court, to defend the federal judiciary, to defend the federal constitution,” Levin continued. “You have an elected left-wing bomb throwing prosecutor, you have a completely rogue state judge at every step he orchestrated this thing just as he orchestrated today’s abomination. Four justices clearly wanted to take up this case. They had enough reason to do it. The arguments were laid out not just by President Trump’s lawyers but also by former attorney general Meese’s lawyers, he filed an amicus brief.”
Roberts and Barrett joined Associate Justices Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor in rejecting Trump’s emergency appeal Thursday. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
