Trump Attends His Sister’s Funeral, but Does Not Speak
The former president went unmentioned during the memorial service for
Maryanne Trump Barry, seemingly in accordance with her wishes.

Douglas Purcell, the cantor at St. Ignatius Loyola, said in an interview after the service that the lack of mention of the former president seemed to be in accordance with Judge Barry’s wishes.

“Judges are very careful about the words they choose,” he said. “Between the pastor and the son, they mentioned many of her causes — women, people in need — and that we all should be helping our fellow humans. And you wonder how that was being directed.”

Mr. Purcell, 60, added that Judge Barry had converted to Catholicism as an adult and had been a regular at Mass. Early in the service, he led the mourners in the singing of “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” a hymn composed in the 16th century by the Protestant reformer Martin Luther that has in recent decades become common in Catholic services.

Mr. Purcell, who said he had not voted for Mr. Trump, read aloud some of the words printed in the program:

“The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;

His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure;

One little word shall fell him.”

“One has to wonder,” Mr. Purcell said, adding, “She chose all the hymns.”

My hand to Heaven, due to a permanent blotch on my current glasses that won't come clean and cause a blurry patch similar to dead pixels on a computer screen (I've got new glasses pending from a fresh prescription when I get back to my post from my current R&R leave), I read that as "lol his doom is sure." I'm too amused to be embarassed about it.

This strikes me as odd:

Douglas Purcell, the cantor at St. Ignatius Loyola, said in an interview after the service that the lack of mention of the former president seemed to be in accordance with Judge Barry’s wishes.

That's delicious of course, but I'm taken aback. It strikes me as unprofessional and almost unethical for the Cantor to give such an interview.

I'm flagging northland10 to find out what he thinks about it.

Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1 wrote: This is DISGUSTING, even for Trump:

Former President Trump mocked former President Jimmy Carter at an Iowa event, just one day after the Carter family revealed Rosalynn Carter's entry into hospice care.

Trump, criticizing Biden in Fort Dodge, Iowa, quipped, "the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns."

He added, "Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president."

The Carter Center announced the former first lady's hospice care last week, a service often chosen by patients nearing the end of life.

President Carter entered hospice care in February, and in May, the family confirmed Rosalynn Carter's dementia diagnosis.

While Trump's remarks drew attention, they occurred against the backdrop of the Carter family dealing with Rosalynn Carter's health challenges.

The former first lady's passing, following her entry into hospice, adds a somber note to the political commentary, emphasizing the importance of sensitivity when discussing public figures, particularly during personal and challenging times.

Notably, the Carters enjoyed a 77-year loving and faithful marriage, with neither facing felony charges nor attempting to incite insurrection against America.

We'll be waiting expectantly to see if these judges can find something that 61 lawsuits over the 2020 election failed to find.

Donald Trump’s Lawyer Alina Habba and Husband Owe Over $1 Million in Liens and Warrants

Katherine Schaffstall
November 9, 2023·

Birds of a feather flock together! Turns out that Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba and her husband, Gregg Reuben, owe more than one million dollars in liens and warrants, In Touch can exclusively reveal.

Habba, 39, ​currently has two active liens filed against her law firm in the state of Maine by the Department of Labor. She and her law firm, Sandelands Eyet LLP owe $1,146, according to paperwork reviewed by In Touch and filed on December 3, 2021. Another tax lien against ​her LLP was filed on October 24, 2022, for the amount of $1,047.

Meanwhile, Habba’s hubby, Reuben, has a staggering amount of active state tax warrants in New York from Albany county that list him individually, as well as his LLCs. Reuben, 51, owes two payments of $93,628 and $179,335 that were filed on August 22, 2016, $484,323 from November ​12, 2020 and $59,295 from April 6, 2022. And several other of his LLCs were also hit with tax liens totaling more than $770,000, which he is personally liable for.

“A lien is filed in a way that is attached to anything you own [and can be] real estate or personal property,” explains Jeremy Wallace, a lawyer who specializes in real estate and bankruptcy in New Jersey. “Theoretically, they can come and raid your house and take your Rolexes. And it can spiral, if you cannot pay one year, why pay the next year and so on.” Reuben ​and Habba’s many tax warrants will hinder ​their ability to buy or sell property until they are paid off, Wallace added.
