Donald Trump prevails again in Georgia criminal case as judge orders 2 charges dismissed

A Georgia judge has dismissed two counts of conspiracy against Donald Trump in the case accusing him of interfering in the state’s 2020 election results.

Judge Scott McAfee Thursday ruled that two of the 13 counts the former president and the 2024 Republican nominee faces must be dismissed because they relate to alleged federal crimes that are outside the state’s power.

The charges of conspiracy to commit filing false documents and conspiracy to commit forgery – or counts 15 and 17 – were tossed out.

One of the dismissed charges accused Trump and others of trying to overturn Joe Biden’s win in the Peach State by attempting to file a forged “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Georgia” making it look like Trump actually won.

The other nixed charge accused Trump and his co-defendants of making false statements and filing false documents to get Georgia lawmakers to “reject lawful” votes.

The case has been in limbo while Trump’s lawyers ask a state appeal court to boot Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case because of her admitted affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was later ousted from the case.

East Coast and Gulf ports all on strike October 1st would be icing on the cake

Strike Concerns at U.S. Ports Looms Large Over Shipping

Mike Schuler September 10, 2024

As the September 30 deadline for the contract between the International Longshoreman Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance, Ltd. (USMX) approaches, negotiations have reached a critical impasse, potentially impacting supply chains across U.S. Gulf and East Coast ports.

USMX reports ongoing attempts to resume negotiations with the ILA on a new Master Contract covering 25,000 container and roll-on/roll-off port workers on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts. However, despite continued outreach, USMX has been unable to secure a meeting with ILA leadership.

In a recent development, the ILA convened its Wage Scale delegates in Teaneck, NJ, on September 4-5. The meetings concluded with a statement from the ILA claiming unanimous support for an October 1 strike if a new agreement is not reached.

A USMX spokesperson stated, “We remain committed to resuming negotiations with the ILA on a new Master Contract. Our current offer includes industry-leading wage increases and the retention of existing technology language, demonstrating our willingness to reach a new deal.”

The potential for a work stoppage looms large over the industry. Maersk has warned that even a one-week shutdown could result in 4-6 weeks of recovery time, with significant backlogs and delays compounding each day.

As the situation unfolds, businesses relying on these ports are advised to stay informed and prepare contingency plans. Maersk has announced its readiness to assist customers in exploring alternative routes and distribution schedules should disruptions occur.

You're Welcome, had posted it late one night prior.

Strike has been coming for weeks now without a peep from Bootygig. The maritime companies have contingency plans and some retailers already did big ordeers when the talks first started breaking down. Any merchant caught without stock just before Christmas is toast if the strike last more than a week
