A well-known phrase among lawyers is that lawyers make the worst witnesses. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is a perfect example. She put on a clinic on how not to testify. It was painful to watch. She did everything you warn a witness not to do: argue and attack the attorney who is questioning you, avoid answering the question, go into areas that the other side was precluded from asking (opening up the door), give speeches instead of answering the questions, and get admonished by the judge.

The jury in the federal case brought by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump awarded her $18.3 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages. Although the number may end up being reduced on appeal, it did not come as a shock.

There are three branches of government: the Executive, led by the president; the Legislative, consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives; and the Judicial, with the United States Supreme Court as the highest court.

Since the October 7 massacre by Hamas, there has been an exponential increase in anti-Semitic incidents globally. In addition, Israel and its supporters have been attacked throughout our country and the world. We see in America the pro-Palestinian rallies, whether on city streets or on college campuses. More members of Congress have turned against Israel.

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, commented that “Instead of giving us his full backing, Biden is busy with humanitarian aid and fuel [to Gaza], which goes to Hamas. If Trump [were] in power, the US conduct would be completely different.” This is a view that many QJL readers agree with.

Sunday was the 100^th day since Hamas massacred 1,400 Jews and took about 240 hostages. Most of the hostages are still in captivity, and the war rages on.
