Trump Can’t Obtain Appeal Bond , in New York Fraud Case.
According to a New York court filing
on March 18, Trump isn't able to secure a
$454 million bond as he appeals a civil business
fraud judgement against him, CNBC reports. .
Trump's attorneys said that getting the bond is "impossible" since it would "effectively" require "cash reserves approaching $1 billion.".
Defendants’ ongoing diligent
efforts have proven that a bond
in the judgment’s full amount
is ‘a practical impossibility.’, Donald Trump's lawyers, via CNBC.
Gary Giulietti, president of the
Northeast division of the Lockton Companies, was hired to help Trump obtain a bond.
Despite scouring the market, we have
been unsuccessful in our effort ... for the
simple reason that obtaining an appeal bond
for $464 million is a practical impossibility
under the circumstances presented, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Simply put, a bond of this
size is rarely, if ever, seen, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
In the unusual circumstance that a bond of
this size is issued, it is provided to the largest
public companies in the world, not to
individuals or privately held businesses, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Giulietti went on to say that a private company would need about $1 billion to put up as collateral to receive a bond of that size. .
While it is my understanding that
the Trump Organization is in a strong
liquidity position, it does not have
$1 billion in cash or cash equivalents, Gary Giulietti, president of the Northeast
division of the Lockton Companies, via CNBC.
Meanwhile, Trump secured a $91.6 million bond earlier this month as part of a separate case
brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. .

Alejandro Mayorkas Impeached , by House Republicans.
The Homeland Security secretary has been impeached for "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" when it comes to the enforcement of border policy, NPR reports.
Mayorkas was impeached
by a House vote of 214-213.
Three Republicans sided with all Democrats
against impeachment. .
A cabinet member has not been
impeached since William Belknap in 1876.
A cabinet member has not been

It is not likely that the Senate will
convict Mayorkas or that he will be
removed from his position, NPR reports. .
DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg said that the impeachment was conducted "without a shred of evidence or legitimate constitutional grounds.".
House Republicans will be remembered
by history for trampling on the Constitution
for political gain rather than working to
solve the serious challenges at our border, DHS spokesperson Mia Ehrenberg, via statement.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the impeachment "a new low for House Republicans.".
This sham impeachment effort is another
embarrassment for House Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
The one and only reason for this
impeachment is for Speaker Johnson
to further appease Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
President Biden also
condemned the impeachment.
History will not look kindly on
House Republicans for their blatant
act of unconstitutional partisanship that
has targeted an honorable public servant
in order to play petty political games, President Joe Biden, via statement

On Tuesday (Feb 13), the Republican-dominated US House of Representatives impeached Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas. The measure passed with a slim margin of 214 to 213, following a failed attempt last week. Republican lawmakers advanced two articles, accusing Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal" to uphold immigration law and of "breach of public trust," marking the first impeachment of a cabinet member in nearly 150 years. Mayorkas, President Joe Biden's immigration chief, had been under scrutiny for an extended period, with Republicans holding him responsible for the surge in migrants illegally crossing the southern border.

Proposed Border Bill , Raises Questions About Activation of , Border Emergency Authority.
'Newsweek' reports that the Senate's proposed
$118 billion southern border bill has drawn
scrutiny for the number of migrants
allowed to enter the country annually. .
Confusion has reportedly circled around the
daily average and the belief it could permit as
many as 1.8 million annual migrant crossings.
In December, over 300,000 migrant encounters
were reported at the Southwest border, according
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
The proposed legislation looks to deter
the influx of migrants at the border by
imposing tougher rules on migration and
increasing the number of Border Patrol agents.
'Newsweek' reports that one aspect of the
proposed legislation revolves around the
activation of border emergency authority.
According to the legislation, Department of Homeland Security , "shall activate the border emergency authority if,
during a period of seven consecutive calendar
days, there is an average of 5,000 or more
aliens who are encountered each day.".
The language of the proposed law has drawn criticism,
as a hypothetical 5,000 migrants per day for a 365-day
period equals about 1.825 million migrants annually.
Republican Senator James Lankford, one of the bill's
co-sponsors, defended the legislation and attempted to
clarify the meaning of the Border Emergency Authority.

The emergency authority is not
designed to let 5,000 people in,
it is designed to close the border
and turn 5,000 people around. , James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'.
The Border Emergency Authority only lasts
3 yrs to force this Admin to shut down the
border & to give time for the next POTUS
to hire more agents & more officers, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'.
After three years, the emergency authority
expires because we should have regained
full control of our border by then, James Lankford, Republican Senator, via 'Newsweek'

artillery drills along the country's western coast.
The large-scale war drills staged
by the world's biggest nuclear weapons
state ... in the Korean Peninsula, where
a nuclear war may be ignited even with
a spark, can never be called 'defensive.', Korean Central News Agency, via 'Newsweek'.
North Korea's long-range artillery display
is meant to reinforce perception of the
nation's formidable military capabilities. .
The North Korean provocations that
Kim Jong Un enjoys the most, and the
South Korean military is most nervous
about, are ballistic-missile and long-
range-multiple-rocket-launcher fire. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
However, North Korea used 122 mm,
130 mm, 155 mm, [and] 220 mm field
artillery and multiple rocket launchers
in this drill—no large 400-plus mm
multiple rocket launchers and
short-range ballistic missiles. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff are closely
monitoring North Korea's military activity amid
the ongoing Freedom Shield joint military exercises.
Reuters reports that this year's exercises
involve twice the number of troops
than previous iterations.
North Korea's artillery fire drills are
demonstrations to show off their
numbers, not tactical exercises.
Firing hundreds of field artillery
pieces at once in a dense area
only measures that they were fired. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
Korea Defense and Security Forum, via 'Newsweek'.
Modern artillery combat is more
about firing accurately from
a dispersed position, like the
'shoot and scoot' artillery tactic. , Kim Minseok, research fellow at the
