New York Judge Juan Merchan made a big show last Friday of holding a sentencing hearing before President-elect Trump has his inauguration on Jan. 20, as RedState’s Susie Moore shared.
Twitchy’s Sam Janney wrote earlier on Sunday at our Townhall Media sister publication about part of Trump FBI director nominee, Kash Patel’s reaction, when asked about Merchan’s sentencing of Trump in the Manhattan business records fraud case–which many have long seen as blatant lawfare against a political opponent of the leftists/Democrat Party apparatus.
Janney, referring to Patel, averred:
…[I] “can’t wait to see what happens when he’s officially in office.
Like, for example, his push to investigate Judge Merchan, his very openly anti-Trump daughter, and lawfare in general.
And hoo boy, she isn’t kidding. During his appearance on Fox News with host Steve Hilton’s nighttime show, the man did not hold back when the host invited him to give his take on the sentencing.

Patel didn’t leave it at that, though. Instead, he used that opportunity as an opening to make news on one of Trump’s priorities–making sure those who chose to commit lawfare are held accountable. That, according to Patel, will absolutely include Loren Merchan, the daughter of the New York judge. He said that he, along with partners in Congress, will issue subpoenas for Loren Merchan’s company, which made about $15M on the trial. That’s the thumbnail, but the entire clip is worth watching, since he gives even more, new details on the plans. […]

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
