How Trump's Would-Be Assassin Forced Government's Hand on Aileen Cannon

Routh, the man accused of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Florida, has forced the federal government to comment on Judge Aileen Cannon's impartiality when overseeing his classified documents case.

The suspect, accused of planning to shoot the Republican presidential candidate at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach on September 15, filed a 10-page motion last week asking for the judge to recuse herself.

Trump was facing 40 federal charges in Cannon's court over his alleged handling of sensitive materials seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after leaving the White House in January 2021. He was also accused of obstructing efforts by federal authorities to retrieve them.

Cannon dismissed all charges after ruling that special counsel Jack Smith, the chief prosecutor, was illegally appointed.

Routh said he wanted that because Cannon was appointed by Trump and therefore could not be impartial, citing her dismissal of the case, which was filed in her district.

Ohio abortion ban ruled unconstitutional by county judge in wake of voter-approved referendum
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ohio-abortion-ban-unconstitutional-voter-referendum/
Columbus, Ohio — The most far-reaching of Ohio's laws restricting abortion was struck down on Thursday by a county judge who said last year's voter-approved amendment enshrining reproductive rights renders the so-called heartbeat law unconstitutional.

Enforcement of the 2019 law banning most abortions once cardiac activity is detected - as early as six weeks into pregnancy, before many women know they're pregnant - had been paused pending the challenge before Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Christian Jenkins.

Jenkins said that when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned power over the abortion issue to the states, "Ohio's Attorney General evidently didn't get the memo."

The judge said Republican Attorney General Dave Yost's request to leave all but one provision of the law untouched even after a majority of Ohio's voters passed an amendment protecting the right to pre-viability abortion "dispels the myth" that the high court's decision simply gives states power over the issue.

"Despite the adoption of a broad and strongly worded constitutional amendment, in this case and others, the State of Ohio seeks not to uphold the constitutional protection of abortion rights, but to diminish and limit it," he wrote. Jenkins said his ruling upholds voters' wishes.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel pounded Iran with a series of airstrikes early Saturday, saying it was targeting military sites in retaliation for the barrage of ballistic missiles the Islamic Republic fired upon Israel earlier in the month.

Explosions could be heard in the Iranian capital, Tehran, though the Islamic Republic insisted they caused only “limited damage.”

The attack risks pushing the archenemies closer to all-out war at a time of spiraling violence across the Middle East, where militant groups backed by Iran — including Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon — are already at war with Israel.

Saturday marked the first time Israel’s military has openly attacked Iran, which hasn’t faced a sustained barrage of fire from a foreign enemy since its 1980s war with Iraq.

Israel’s hourslong attack ended just before sunrise in Tehran, with the Israeli military saying it targeted “missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the state of Israel over the last year.” It also said it hit surface-to-air missile sites and “additional Iranian aerial capabilities.”

Israel offered no initial damage assessment.

For several weeks, Jamie Boyle of Virginia has been checking to see if the ballots she and her husband mailed on October 4 to an elections office in Pennsylvania have been processed. As of late October, she’s still waiting.

Now Boyle, whose husband serves in the Army, is worried about a series of lawsuits filed by Republicans, including the Republican National Committee, that questions the voting rights of some military families. Among the states ensnared in a lawsuit is Pennsylvania.

“In a situation that is already complicated — is my ballot going to get there in time? — now it’s, is my ballot going to get counted?” she said.

The lawsuits challenge the legitimacy of some ballots cast under the U.S. Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, or UOCAVA. The federal law, which was enacted during Ronald Reagan’s presidency and has long had bipartisan support, covers U.S. citizens living abroad, including voters serving in the U.S. military and their families.

If successful, the lawsuits could impact results in a handful of battleground states with razor-thin voting margins that will determine the outcome of the presidential election. They also spotlight the growing scope of disinformation ahead of November 5.

Some military spouses, 92 percent of whom are women, are expressing frustration at the lawsuits — also filed in Michigan and North Carolina — and what message they send to a population that is already dramatically less likely to vote compared to the general voting public, the reasons for which are layered.

Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’

The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/10/trump-military-generals-hitler/680327/

n April 2020, Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old Army private, was bludgeoned to death by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood, in Texas. The killer, aided by his girlfriend, burned Guillén’s body. Guillén’s remains were discovered two months later, buried in a riverbank near the base, after a massive search.

Guillén, the daughter of Mexican immigrants, grew up in Houston, and her murder sparked outrage across Texas and beyond. Fort Hood had become known as a particularly perilous assignment for female soldiers, and members of Congress took up the cause of reform. Shortly after her remains were discovered, President Donald Trump himself invited the Guillén family to the White House. With Guillén’s mother seated beside him, Trump spent 25 minutes with the family as television cameras recorded the scene.

In the meeting, Trump maintained a dignified posture and expressed sympathy to Guillén’s mother. “I saw what happened to your daughter Vanessa, who was a spectacular person, and respected and loved by everybody, including in the military,” Trump said. Later in the conversation, he made a promise: “If I can help you out with the funeral, I’ll help—I’ll help you with that,” he said. “I’ll help you out. Financially, I’ll help you.”

Taylor Swift Is Being Sued and Aileen Cannon Is the Judge

https://www.newsweek.com/taylor-swift-being-sued-aileen-cannon-judge-1974022

Pop megastar Taylor Swift, who is currently still performing on her more than a year-and-a-half-long Eras Tour, has been accused of copyright infringement in a lawsuit in Southern Florida, where Judge Aileen Cannon is presiding over the case.

It's not uncommon for musicians to face lawsuits accusing them of taking others' work and Swift, one of the world's bestselling artists, has dealt with accusations several times herself.

Kimberly Marasco, the plaintiff in a current case, has accused Swift of not properly giving her credit for lyrics and creative expression.

Swift's legal team has denied the claims and attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed.

In April, Marasco—of Fort Pierce, Florida—filed a lawsuit against Taylor Swift Productions Inc. The case moved from small claims court to the Southern District of Florida, a federal court, in May, where Cannon was assigned. Marasco is representing herself in court, a status known as pro se.

The democrat voter fraud schemes are already being discovered and it's not even election day yet
https://www.newsweek.com/mesa-county-colorado-criminal-probe-ballots-1974830
Thousands of votes already cast in Mesa County, Colorado, are being reexamined for fraud after election staff discovered at least a dozen fraudulent ballots.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a news conference on Thursday that a criminal probe had been launched in the county.

"It appears that as of now approximately a dozen voters in Mesa County had their ballots intercepted before they arrived to them and cast without their knowledge," she said.

The fraud was discovered during the signature verification process, when election staff compared signatures on the ballots to the voters' signatures on file. When voters were contacted about the rejected signatures, in a process known as "curing," election staff discovered that some of the ballots had been fraudulently filled out.

FLINT, Mich. (WJRT) - A 53-year-old man was arrested and charged this week with the murder of a man on Flint's south side 26 years ago in 1998.

The Flint Police Department says cold case investigators obtained enough evidence to charge 53-year-old Eric Dukes with the murder of 31-year-old Shannon Holihan.

The case is one of the first solved by the Flint Police Department's new cold case investigation unit. Flint Police Chief Terrence Green said the investigation was funded by ARPA funding and a Mott Foundation Grant to help bring cold cases to a close.

"These funds are specially used for cold case investigations. Also, to assist, the investigator with any additional sources that he would need or require," said Chief Green.

Authorities found Holihan's body behind a business in the 2300 block of South Dort Highway on May 27, 1998. He died of blunt force trauma and his 1994 Chevrolet Corvette was missing.

Investigators say leads ran dry and they were not able to obtain enough evidence to make an arrest in the case for more than 25 years. They never found Holihan's stolen white Corvette.

Sewell Setzer would lock himself in bedroom for hours with Character AI-created clone of Daenerys Targaryen, lawsuit says

A teenage boy killed himself after falling in love with an AI chatbot who told him to “come home to me”.

Sewell Setzer, 14, shot himself with his stepfather’s gun after spending months talking to a computer programme named after the Games of Thrones character Daenerys Targaryen, whom he called “Dany”.

He struck up a relationship with the chatbot using Character AI, a platform where users can have conversations with fictional characters through artificial intelligence, The New York Times reported.

Setzer, from Orlando, Florida, gradually began spending longer on his phone as “Dany” gave him advice and listened to his problems.

He started isolating himself from the real world, losing interest in his old hobbies like Formula One racing or playing computer games with friends, and fell into trouble at school as his grades slipped, according to a lawsuit filed by his parents.

Instead, he would spend hours in his bedroom after school where he could talk to the chatbot.

“I like staying in my room so much because I start to detach from this ‘reality,’” the 14-year-old, who had previously been diagnosed with mild Asperger’s syndrome, wrote in his diary as the relationship deepened.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/us/politics/georgia-secretary-of-state-cyberattack.html

Georgia’s secretary of state warded off a cybersecurity threat this month against what was most likely an attack by a foreign country targeting its website that voters can use to request absentee ballots.

An unusual spike in users on the site appeared to be an attempt to shut it down. There were ultimately no disruptions to absentee ballot access. State and local election officials have faced increasing threats, both to their operations and physical safety, that have made the otherwise mundane, bureaucratic work of election management increasingly risky.

The secretary of state’s office thwarted a sudden rise in users trying to access the site on Oct. 14, a tactic sometimes used by hackers to send a website offline by overwhelming it with requests, WSB-TV, a broadcaster in Atlanta, reported. A spokesman for the Georgia secretary of state confirmed this reporting.
