OAN’s James Meyers 12:30 PM -Wednesday, March 20, 2024
Former President Donald Trump was handed a major legal victory in the Georgia election fraud case against him.
On Wednesday, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee granted Trump the right to appeal his ruling that allowed District Attorney Fani Willis (D-Ga.) to stay on the case.
This comes after Trump and seven other co-defendants have sought to boot Willis off the case. Trump did not have an automatic right to appeal before the start of the trial.
The defendants must now wait to hear whether the appeals court will agree to hear the case, effectively delaying the next trial from being scheduled.
One of the 45th president’s lawyers, Steve Sadow, called McAfee’s Wednesday decision “highly significant,” adding that he is hopeful their appeal will win.
“The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified,” he added.
“The Court intends to continue addressing the many other unrelated pending pretrial motions, regardless of whether the petition is granted within 45 days of filing, and even if any subsequent appeal is expedited by the appellate court,” McAfee wrote in his ruling.
Meanwhile, the 45th president and his co-defendants are hoping to take Willis and the rest of her team off the case due to Willis’s past-romantic relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade, who has since resigned from the case after the judge allowed her to stay on as long as he stepped down.
Additionally, Trump and the rest of his co-defendants are hoping to get the entire case thrown out and the charges tossed entirely. Trump’s team has said that the romance between Wade and Willis was a clear conflict of interest, which Willis has adamantly denied.

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’” (Sahih Muslim 2922)
“Michigan Friday Sermon By Imam Abdou Zindani: One Day The Muslims Will Slaughter The Jews Like Sheep; Oh Allah, Make Us Soldiers for You, Make Us Die The Way You Want Us To Die,” MEMRI, January 5, 2024:
In a January 5, 2024 Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Warren, Michigan, which was streamed live on the Mosque’s YouTube channel, Imam Abdou Alwaly Zindani invoked the hadith about the Muslims killing the Jews at the End of Times. He said that the Muslims will slaughter the Jews like sheep and that the stones and trees will “work undercover” for the Muslims, telling them where the Jews are hiding. Zindani continued to supplicate: “Oh Allah, make us soldiers for You, […] make us die the way you want us to die.”
Imam Abdou Zindani: “One Jewish man in New York was talking to a Palestinian businessman. First, the [Palestinian] said: ‘Don’t worry, Jewish man." One day will come, and we will slaughter you like a sheep and the stone and the tree will work undercover with us. They will tell us: ‘Hey Muslim, come. Somebody is hiding here, get up and kill him.
[…]
“Oh Allah, make us soldiers for You." Every-way you want us to be – with the tank, with the eye, with the money, with the hand, make us soldiers for Islam. Make us die the way you want us to die.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, today (Tuesday, 19 March 2024), made the following remarks at the start of his meeting with the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee [translated from Hebrew]:
“We are in a dual campaign – a military campaign, and a diplomatic campaign. Of course, they are inter-connected, the diplomatic fight gives us the time and the resources to reach the full results of the war.
We have been fighting for over five months, this is a record in the history of Israel’s wars, except for the War of Independence. We are – of course – under growing international pressure, which we are rejecting in order to achieve the goals of the war. The goals of the war are, to be succinct: the destruction or elimination of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities, the release of all of our hostages and ensuring that Gaza never again constitutes a threat to Israel.
In order to do this, we need to complete the military elimination of Hamas. There is no alternative to this. We cannot go around it; neither can we say . We will destroy 80% of Hamas and leave 20%’, because from that 20%, they will reorganize and take over the Strip again and – of course – constitute a new threat to Israel. And of course, this will be a victory for the greater axis that threatens us – the Iranian axis.
Therefore, we are determined to complete the elimination of Hamas. This requires the elimination of the remaining battalions in Rafah and – of course – the 1.5 battalions in the camps in the center. We are determined to do this. We have a debate that I will put on the table, and we all know it. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan also said this yesterday. We have a debate with the Americans over the need to enter Rafah, not over the need to eliminate Hamas, but the need to enter Rafah. We see no way to eliminate Hamas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions. We are determined to do this.
Out of respect for the President, we agreed on a way in which they can present us with their ideas, especially on the humanitarian side; of course, we fully share this desire to facilitate an orderly exit of the population and the providing of humanitarian aid to the civilian population. We have been doing this since the beginning of the war.
However, I made it as clear as possible to the President that we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah, and there is no way to do this without a ground incursion.”
A new docuseries called Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV has shed light on allegations regarding Nickelodeon television executives and producers on set, including “abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.”
The docuseries debuted Sunday on the network Investigation Discovery and concluded on Monday.
“Investigation Discovery is an American multinational pay television network dedicated to true crime documentaries owned by Warner Bros. Discovery,” according to its website.
One plot of the series, mentions that a starring actor on the television show Drake & Josh, Drake Bell, came forward for the first time and admitted that he was sexually abused as a child actor by acting and dialogue coach Brian Peck, who was found guilty in 2004 of performing a lewd act on a minor and for verbally abusing a person under the age of 16, which is illegal in California.
“I was sleeping on the couch where I usually sleep, and I woke up to him… I opened my eyes, and I woke up, and he was… he was sexually assaulting me,” Bell says in the docuseries. “And I froze, was in complete shock, and had no idea what to do or how to react.”
Bell also maintained that the abuse happened a number of times and that he was intimidated into not speaking out.
“And it just got worse, and worse, and worse, and worse, and I was just trapped,” Bell explains. “I had no way out. The abuse was extensive, and it got pretty brutal.”
According to Bell, producer Dan Schneider had not been aware that Bell was Peck’s victim until Bell confided in him. Schneider offered to support him in any way he could, Bell claims in the documentary.
In front of another child star, Peck also boasted about owning a signed self-portrait painting of notorious homosexual serial killer John Wayne Gacy, as revealed in the documentary series.
Kyle Sullivan, a former cast member of the television show All That, who was only 14-years-old at the time, also recounts seeing the paintings inside Peck’s house, including one that featured the serial killer clown (Gacy) holding balloons and another that featured a shrine to Planet of the Apes.
Sullivan claims that the dialogue coach became visibly excited when he questioned him about the painting.
“Brian flipped the thing around, and on the back it said, ‘To Brian, I hope you enjoy the painting." Best wishes, your friend, [signed] John Wayne Gacy,’” Sullivan recalls this in the documentary.
In addition, the same former child star claims that Gacy sent Peck a number of letters that he had received from the notorious serial killer himself. During the 1970s, Gacy sexually assaulted and killed thirty-three boys, ages 14-21.
“Brian actually developed a pen pal relationship with John,” Sullivan says. “He kept this pile of letters and photos from John Wayne Gacy on his nightstand next to his bed.”
Additionally, in the docuseries, female writers accused Schneider, who Bell had confided in, of allegedly taking advantage of female writers on The Amanda Show, forcing them to massage him in front of other writers and crew members.
The docuseries stars former Nickelodeon employees Christy Stratton and Jenny Kilgen, who were hired as writers for The Amanda Show in 1999. The docuseries reveals that they were the only female writers on the show and that their “single salary was divided between the two of them.”
Kilgen asserts that Schneider “didn’t think women were funny,” constantly displayed explicit images from his computer, and coercing people into engaging in inappropriate, awkward public acts as jokes, such as asking Stratton to tell a story about how she was “sodomized.”
“Working for Dan was like being in an abusive relationship,” Stratton claims in the documentary.
Kilgen also discusses the origins of the name “Penelope Taynt,” one of the sketch character’s names in the show, expressing that Schneider was solely motivated by the word “taint,” a term for the perineum. The perverse producer thought that the name would be funny since it was a children’s show and he had assumed that minors would not catch on to the inappropriate nature of the name.
“Dan had said to us in the writers room, ‘Don’t tell what this word really means," he wanted us to keep that a secret,” Kilgen alleges.
The documentary claims that Kilgen and her attorney complained to the production company about harassment, a hostile work environment, and gender discrimination. Kilgen says that even though an internal investigation was carried out and a settlement was reached, her career still suffered as a result.
In a statement to People Magazine, a spokesperson for Schneider said, “Nothing has been alleged about Dan other than him being a tough boss who got into disagreements with other adult executives at Nickelodeon, and when Dan departed Nickelodeon, a full investigation was done, and again, that’s all that they found.”
All four episodes of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV are out now on ID and streaming on Max (formerly HBO Max).
