On the day before Donald Trump will have to appear in a Manhattan courtroom and deal with 34 felony counts related to paying off an adult film star to keep quiet about their alleged affair before the 2016 election, a New York Times columnist marveled that five women have led the charge to call him to account for a lifetime of skirting the law.

Noting the former president's seeming contempt for women — whom he has notoriously boasted are fair game for sexual assault -- the Times' Jessica Bennett claimed there is a "certain karmic justice" at work here.

A Republican party official who was a founder of her state's "Women for Trump" advocacy group is admitting she is not enthused with the former president's third bid for the Oval Office and hopes that, if he doesn't win, he will just go away.

According to a profile in the Guardian digging into Donald Trump's voter woes in the key swing state of Wisconsin, local activist Terri Burl bluntly admitted she is "not excited" by the 2024 campaign and is making a unique pitch to some "Never Trump" Republicans that Trump will go away afterward they give him just one more chance to beat President Joe Biden.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz pushed back against National Review reporter Caroline Downey after she suggested Democrats were killing babies with their abortion policies.

During a Sunday panel discussion on Fox News, Kurtz told Downey that Democrats were using Arizona's near-total abortion ban as an example of "what you get when you leave it up to the states."

Approximately 24 hours before he is expected to begin appearing in a Manhattan courtroom for weeks to face 34 felony counts that could land him in prison, Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on Judge Juan Merchan and demanded his court date be postponed. Again.

Lawyers for the former president spent last week flooding the court docket with a flurry of filings asking for a postponement of the criminal trial that will take up his alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

After seeing his demands for more time or dismissal of all charges fail to persuade the judge, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to complain he and his legal team still have not had enough time to prepare for the case that was filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over a year ago.

As part of his Sunday social media post, the embattled former president, who is on a losing streak in New York courtrooms, insisted his latest trial "cannot be allowed to go forward,"

He wrote, "Judge Juan Merchan, perhaps the most highly conflicted Judge in New York State history, only gave us a short period of time to read and study hundreds of thousands of pages of documents that D.A. Alvin Bragg illegally hid, disguised, and held back from us. Of course, and as the Judge knows, we need far more time than that. They could have started this Fake Biden Trial many years ago, not right in the middle of my campaign for President, and time would not be a problem. This is a blatant and unprecedented attack on Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent (who is leading in every poll!), done in close coordination with the White House, that cannot be allowed to go forward!"

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Sunday for voting for a spying bill and not focusing more on the border.

During an interview on Fox News, Paul told host Maria Bartiromo that "Johnson was incredibly wrong" to vote with the Democrats to reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

Small-time investors who took the leap and bought stock in Trump Media & Technology Group appear to be coming to the realization that they should hang onto their day jobs as the value of shares in the company behind Truth Social spirals downward with one disappointed MAGA fan lamenting, " When will it be the BOTTOM!!!"

According to a report from the Washington Post, that reinforced a report from the Daily Beast, there are growing concerns among Donald Trump's more rabid followers that the money-losing Truth Social media platform is going to be less like Facebook or Apple and more like Pets.com.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday pressed for a new law against immigrants voting in federal elections while Fox News reported on an existing law that already prohibits noncitizens from voting.

"You talked with President Trump on Friday about ensuring a transparent and safe election," Fox News host Maria Bartiromo told Johnson on Sunday Morning Futures. "Do you have any evidence that the Democrats are pushing for illegals to vote in this election?"

ABC host George Stephanopoulos grilled New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) for supporting Donald Trump after attacking him during the primaries.

During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week program, Stephanopoulos asked Sununu if he would support Trump even if he is convicted in a criminal trial. While supporting Nikki Haley earlier, Sununu had said Trump should drop out if convicted.
