The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported yesterday regarding the disgraceful behavior of the leftist judge presiding over President Trump’s real estate trial in New York City. Now video has emerged raising even more alarm bells.

Trump on Monday flew to New York City where he was called to court in another junk lawsuit hurled at him by Democrats.

During the hearing in the Democrats’ continued lawfare assault against the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 election, Judge Arthur Engoron smirked and started laughing.

At that moment, any reasonable person could conclude that the fix was in against the 45th president.

In 2015, Judge Engoron gave a lecture to college students and told them he makes decisions based on emotions about a case. Engoron said he will use ‘judgment notwithstanding the verdict’ to overturn verdicts based on emotions.

This is called “judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” While this particular trial against Trump in not a jury trial thanks to New York Attorney general Letitia James filing a consumer protection order, the below video does provide valuable insight into the mind of this radical activist deciding the 45th president’s fate.

Here is the full video from March 9, 2015.  Engoron was speaking to an audience at CUNY.

Relevant transcript:

I’m going to say something controversial even though I know I’m being taped: juries get it wrong a lot (chuckling). That’s my own opinion.

I only do civil trials…but I’ve had situations like oh my Heaven’s sake how could they have thought that?

I have a tool that I can deal with that: it’s called judgment notwithstanding the verdict. I can say there is no possible way a reasonable jury could have reached that conclusion.

Am I following the law or am I making the law?…I’m an impartial referee but it’s impossible for me to factor out my own emotions.

As Cristina Laila reported, President Trump revealed that he won 80% of the case against James Monday yet Engoron refused to admit it.

“Why are we trying a case that the appellate division of New York state has just ruled recently that we won 80% of our case and this judge refuses to acknowledge the ruling, which is plain for all to see,” Trump said.

President Trump said Judge Engoron conceded that the statute of limitations are in effect. James forgot to do her homework on this.

A lawyer for Trump spoke on this: “Based on the judge’s comments at the end of the trial, it would appear that he is agreeing that all the transactions that closed prior to 2014 are now out of the case.”

Trump chimed in: “Which are about 80% of the case.”

So why has this case not been tossed out completely? Is the judge looking for something else to hang Trump on?

Energy ideologies likened to war on consumers

In what has been likened to a war on consumers – by making their appliances cost more and perform worse – it appears that your electric toothbrush still might be safe.

For now.

But few other appliances found in American households are.

A new report from Just the News gives a “partial” list of those items being targeted by Joe Biden.

They include:

Gas stoves Ovens Clothes washers Refrigerators Refrigerator freezers Freezers Air conditioners Dishwashers Pool pumps Battery chargers Ceiling fans Dehumidifiers Microwave ovens Portable electric spas Air compressors

The report confirmed Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who recently was in the news for allowing a staff member to park a gas-powered car at an EV charging station to save the spot so her entourage of electric cars wouldn’t have to wait in line, at one point announced that the Biden administration had taken 110 actions on energy efficiency standards in 2022 alone.

And there was the threat of more to come.

One recent order involves gas-powered furnaces.

But Fox News reported, “According to the current federal Unified Agenda, a government-wide, semiannual list that highlights regulations agencies plan to propose or finalize within the next 12 months, the Biden administration is additionally moving forward with rules impacting dozens more appliances.”

And Fox Digital charged, “Over the last several months, the Department of Energy (DOE) has unveiled standards to make various appliances…more efficient, and experts have said this would worsen product quality and lead to higher prices.”

Ben Lieberman of the Competitive Enterprise Institute said in that report, “It’s just spreading to more and more appliances. It seems that almost everything that plugs in or fires up around the house is either subject to a pending regulation or soon will be.”

He added, “These rules are almost always bad for consumers for the simple reason that they restrict consumer choice.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation noted Biden claimed changes must be made in furnaces to cut “greenhouse gas emissions.”

That announcement alone noted the DOE was working on new rules for 24 appliances.

The DOE also is working on coercing communities to adopt its ideology through building codes that would allow only appliances and features endorsed by Biden.

Hot water heaters also are in the bull’s-eye and one report noted what Biden wants done to clothes washers and refrigerators will cost consumers “billions.”

When the New York Post disclosed Biden’s agenda for ceiling fans, it noted the coercion already was sparking pushback from Republicans – as well as corporations that make the products.

And for very little benefit. One estimate put Biden’s plan in the range of saving consumers $39 in energy costs – over the years-long life of a ceiling fan.

Regarding water heaters, the administration claims its changes will “curb carbon dioxide emissions.”

In that report, Lieberman explained, “It’s just spreading to more and more appliances. It seems that almost everything that plugs in or fires up around the house is either subject to a pending regulation or soon will be.”
