Trump shoves Kari Lake out of Mar-a-Lago and frets she'll be electoral liability: report

.................
It was previously reported that the former president became annoyed with Lake because she was causing him problems with his wife Melania because of her constant presence at his Mar-a-Lago resort. On Monday, the Washington Post reported the rift also was based over Trump's concerns she is not out doing enough campaigning.
As the report notes, the race to fill the seat being vacated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is one of the most closely watched in the 2024 election and Lake, a political novice with one failed bid for statewide office in 2022, is expected to face
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).............
......................According to the new Post report, there is growing tension between the Trump and Lake camps that she will be a detriment in a close election and that Trump has had to urge her to decamp from Mar-a-Lago and get to work winning over voters. ...............
............."Trump’s frustration with Lake has only increased over the past year, heightening the tension," the Post report adds, and then notes that the former president is still aggravated she failed to acquire the governorship in the pivotal state, grumbling to a friend at Mar-a-Lago, 'She didn't win.'"......................

Arkansas teacher and church volunteer charged with s*xually assaulting a 15-year-old she groomed at church.
A week old but involving a woman-which is fairly unusual. I also was looking for information on whether the church was charged or not. In reading the entire story--it was not mentioned if the woman was monitored or not--she was moved to another position at the beginning of this horrible story.

NEW: Arkansas teacher and church volunteer charged with s*xually assaulting a 15-year-old she groomed at church.
26-year-old Reagan Gray has been charged with felony assault of a teen.
The church was allegedly aware of the abuse and instead of calling the police, they assigned an “accountability partner” to Gray.
The accountability partner was the pastor’s wife. After the counseling sessions, Gray continued with the abuse.
Gray allegedly ‘only’ performed oral s*x on the boy because she wanted him to “stay pure.”
The accused pedoph*le was a teacher at Little Rock Christian Academy and was a member of student ministry at the church.
After the police finally got involved, Gray was a teacher at Sylvan Hills Middle School. She was then suspended.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. .....................
The affidavit says that the minor's parents discovered text messages in the minor's cell phone in 2020 — the text thread was between the minor and Gray.
After making the discovery, the minor's parents reportedly told Gray to stop messaging the child. The parents then reported the text messages to the senior pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church.
The church's head pastor proceeded to ask Gray about the messages between she and the minor, to which she said that their relationship was not "physical." Gray was then removed from the student ministry and required to undergo counseling.
Shortly after being removed, Gray returned and began volunteering in the ministry once again.
The head pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church was interviewed in February of 2024 and shared that in Fall of 2023, Gray admitted to him during a counseling session that her relationship with the minor back in 2020 was sexual in nature. 
Furthermore, the communication between Gray and the minor hadn't stopped, despite the initial confrontation by the minor's parents. Gray and the minor continued talking through Snapchat, according to the affidavit.
The minor underwent a Child and Adolescent Forensic Interview which was conducted by the FBI. During the interview, the minor shared that they had sexual contact with Gray, who was 23-years-old at the time of the incident. ..............................................................

IN THE PITS: Trump fundraiser SHUT DOWN as organizer tries to rally at Miami Grand Prix
by Stephanie Bazzle
Donald Trump’s fundraising situation is more than a little iffy these days. He’s fallen behind President Joe Biden’s campaign in bringing in donor money, and his legal costs are eating up much of what Trump does take in.
Earlier this month, Trump put a lot of time and effort into convincing the public that one of his fundraisers had produced a record-breaking $50 million in a single night, earning heavy scrutiny that failed to produce any evidence the Republican candidate had actually done what he claimed.
Now, his next big event has been shut down. Anyone looking forward to giving Trump a quarter million dollars for the privilege of joining him at the Miami Grand Prix next month is in for disappointment.
Fox Sports host Andy Slater obtained a copy of the letter that was sent to Trump ally Steve Witkoff, warning against the event. The letter reads, in part:.......................................

City Council calls for investigation of District Attorney Sandra Doorley

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Members of Rochester City Council have written a letter to New York State Attorney General Letitia James calling for an investigation into the conduct of Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley.
This follows officer-worn, body-camera footage of the incident was released to the public Friday, showing Doorley repeatedly invoking her position as district attorney and refusing to follow orders.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley drives home, calls chief before pulling over for police
“This incident has led us to question her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and we believe an investigation by your office is warranted,” the letter reads.
The letter also explained that as public officials, City Councilmembers and District Attorney alike are held to the highest standards of ethics, accountability, and respect for the law.
“The behavior exhibited by Ms. Doorley during the traffic stop, as captured in the body camera footage, appears to violate these standards,” the letter reads. “Such behavior undermines the credibility and integrity of our justice system and erodes public trust.”
All nine members of Rochester City Council signed the letter.

@WomanDefiner
Out of Monroe County NY. DA Sandra Doorley was speeding and refused to pull over. If you want to know what we are up against corruption wise this is about the clearest picture you will ever get. She basically tells the cop he has no power and she prosecutes her own cases so everything is a waste of time.
She's evil and people like this are making decisions that effect every single one of us. They truly believe the law doesn't apply to them. The original officer even warns his supervisor he's still rolling to warn him. A lot of weird stuff in this video.

A 'coat hanger' could unlock Mar-a-Lago storage room where Trump stored classified docs: Witness
Source: abc news
The account was relayed to FBI agents by an unidentified aide to Trump.
By Alexander Mallin and Katherine Faulders April 27, 2024, 9:26 AM
A coat hanger or "very tiny screwdriver" could be used to unlock the Mar-a-Lago storage room where former President Donald Trump stored highly classified documents for more than a year, according to a witness in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation.
The account was relayed to FBI agents by an unidentified aide to Trump in January 2023, according to newly released exhibits, and further undercuts claims by Trump that the highly-classified materials he's accused of taking with him after leaving office were secured at all times.
The transcript of the interview was released as part of an ongoing effort by Trump and his co-defendants to make additional evidence gathered by Special Counsel Smith public.
Investigators were told by the witness that in summer of 2021 the storage room door had a knob "with a pinhole" that visitors could lock from the inside via a push button.
"Kind of like what you would find on a residential door inside of a home?" an FBI agent asked.
"So it might have a lock like that on one side of it then other side, rather than an actual place for a key," an agent added.

Yes, caring for others--is so important. I had seen this many moons ago but had forgotten it.
Great reminder
@DJM549845319274
"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
👉We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.

One of my favorite Margaret Mead quotes:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” ~ Margaret Mead
