Trump threatens "death and destruction" if he is accused of a crime

 Hours after New York prosecutors looking into his hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels said they would not be intimidated, former US President Donald Trump warned of possible "death & destruction" if he faces criminal charges.



Since last Saturday, when Trump incorrectly predicted Alvin Bragg would be arrested three days later, he has been the target of a series of verbal insults on Trump's Truth Social media platform.


In an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the election of Democratic President Joe Biden, who defeated the Republican Trump by more than 7 million votes, Trump's supporters launched a deadly attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Trump falsely claims that his defeat in 2020 was the result of fraud.

What kind of person can accuse another person of a crime when it is clear to everyone that no crime has been committed and that the potential death and destruction caused by such a false charge could be disastrous for our nation? In this case, the accuser is a former president of the United States who received more votes than any other sitting president in history and who is the front-runner (by a wide margin!) for the Republican Party nomination. Trump, who wants to be the GOP nominee for president in 2024, wrote this.


In a letter sent to Republican committee chairmen in Congress on Thursday, Bragg's office questioned their authority to look into his office and claimed that in his post on Saturday, Trump had "made a false expectation that he would be jailed."

According to the letter, the chairmen's request for communications, records, and testimony constituted a "illegal intrusion upon the sovereignty of the State of New York."


Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, is an adult film director and actress who claims she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006 and was paid to remain silent about it.


Trump described the payment a "simple private transaction" and denied ever having an affair with Daniels. He has argued that he did not break any laws and claimed that the probe was politically motivated.


The Manhattan grand jury looking into Trump won't meet again until the following week.

In other cases, prosecutors in Georgia are examining Trump's attempts to have his Georgian election loss overturned, and a federal special counsel is looking into both those endeavours as well as the removal of sensitive papers from the White House after Trump left office.


Trump will host a campaign event on Saturday in Waco, Texas, 30 years after a federal agent raid there on the religious group known as the Branch Davidians left 86 people dead, including four law enforcement officials.


The incident marks a turning point for some right-wing extremist groups and has come to represent government overreach for others.

A Trump campaign representative claimed in an email that Waco was picked because it is close to many significant population areas and has the facilities required to conduct a sizable event.

Who Is SpongeBob's Owner? Hollywood's Creative Base is Shaken by AI

 Phil Wiser, the head of technology at Paramount Global PARA -1.22%decrease; red down pointing triangle, used SpongeBob SquarePants to showcase the dangers and benefits of artificial intelligence for company executives. Mr. Wiser gave the order to DALL-E, an AI tool, to display SpongeBob, one of the most recognisable figures from Paramount, piloting a jet. At the presentation to Chief Executive Bob Bakish and others earlier this year, a picture of the rectangle cartoon character doing just that emerged on a big TV screen. The "Transformers" character Optimus Prime was then shown on the Paramount Studios lot by the tool at Mr. Wiser's request. It produced a picture of the imposing robot standing next to the cafe on the lot in a matter of seconds. The vivid demonstration brought up some of the unresolved issues around generative AI technology and potential dangers. The application of intellectual property laws to various instruments is frequently contested or unclear: Shoul...

 At least two people were killed and dozens of people were injured when a powerful tornado tore through Little Rock, Arkansas, and nearby communities on Friday. It tore off the roofs and walls of numerous buildings, flipped over cars, and brought down trees and electrical lines, according to officials.
