Donald Trump ordered to pay $355 million over 'Fraud' in New York City

The "Wall Street Journal" money expert breaks down the Civil Fraud Case against Donald Trump. There is a $90 million interest cap on top of the $355 million. Interest will be added each day when money is not paid. Trump plans to appeal the verdict. 

(I was told that after 30 days. Trump has to pay full amount plus the interest. If he doesn't. Then, a money fee will be added each day).

Trump still has to pay $83 million in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll. He is appealing that verdict. 

He was recently found guilty of sexual assault against Carroll back in the 1980's. $5 million was paid by him and that money will sit in court banks until all appeals by Trump are examined and/or exhausted.

No TV ratings for Friday's 'Dateline'

DATELINE on NBC. Last night's episode was called, "The Perfect Life" (2-16-2024). There are no TV ratings to report.

Note: I watched this and "good grief" this guy was so aggravating. Even Andrea Canning was losing her patience with him during their contentious interviews. He made me sick to my stomach. He's ugly from the inside/out. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter because he would've lost in that second trial.

Classic Movie Flashback 'Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn' 1982 with William Shatner

STAR TREK 2: THE WRATH OF KAHN from PARAMOUNT pictures (1982). The production budget climbed to $12 million and grossed $97 million at the box office. It is a sequel to the "Star Trek" series episode called, "Space Seed" (1967). Fans consider this their favorite in the complete series. It is my mine too because of legendary movie star Ricardo Montalban. (1982 Movie Ticket Price $2.94).

The story arc begins with "Kahn" and it crosses into "Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock" (1984) and "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" (1986).  

It follows Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) who returns from exile in space and wants revenge against Captain Kirk (William Shatner).

The "Star Trek" TV Series (1966-69) aired on NBC. It earned a cult following in TV syndication which ran on independent TV channels across the U.S. That popularity spawned "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979). It received mixed reviews. The original TV creator Gene Rodenberry was forced out before the 2nd movie.

Six films starred the original cast of the TV series which ended in 1991.

The new cast began with "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1994). Three more films were made and ended in 2002. They were not as popular with the original cast.

A reboot spawned three movies starting with "Star Trek" (2009-2013-2016). The stories surround younger versions of the original TV characters. These productions became very popular.
