Karmelo Anthony Supporter Reportedly Fired as Other Backers Face Backlash Over Verdict Remarks

A parole supervisor reportedly lost her job and university professors publicly challenged the verdict, blamed the victim, which seems par for the racist course.

Judge John Roach Jr. is standing firm on his call to keep cameras out of the Karmelo Anthony murder trial. Anthony, convicted of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf, is appealing his reasonable 35-year sentence. The judge brushed off any nonsense about personal connections to Metcalf's family and made it clear that a fair trial was the only thing that mattered, even as the usual suspects scream about racial dynamics.

Karmelo Anthony's fans are still out there melting down over his conviction and sentencing for murder.

Anthony was found guilty and hit with 35 years on Tuesday, June 9, for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet last year.

His supporters insist the convicted killer was just defending himself when he plunged that knife into Metcalf's chest.

One of those supporters is Donna Robinson, a parole supervisor with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The Dallas Morning News reported that a Facebook comment cost her the gig. Addressing comments about the sentencing, she wrote that "Anthony would be protected in prison, adding she didn't care about the victim's family's loss," according to the outlet.

Fox News Digital also reported that Howard University professor Stacey Patton penned an opinion piece on her Substack titled "Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son Is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Boys Have Boundaries," which basically pins the blame on the dead kid.

Another backer, W. Burlette Carter, professor emerita of law at George Washington University, took to X after the verdict to air her grievances.

She made a post on X that said, "Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors, that they were teachers, appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial."

Anthony's trial featured jurors who are fellow U.S. citizens, also known as a "jury of one's peers." In all criminal prosecutions, the U.S. Constitution says the accused has "the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed."

Unrelenting Trump critic says why he was wrong to eliminate the bushy bearded, now dead guy and his pals in Iran

Chennai, India-born Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) attacked President Donald J. Trump's decision to attack and quickly eliminate the bushy-bearded Shi'a cleric and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with other Islamic Republic Guard Corps (the 's' is silent) in Iran.

"Trump killed the religious and spiritual leader of Iran," Rep. Jayapal said, carefully leaving out the President's title. "He seemed nice with his cute hat and bushy beard. I don't understand why Trump had him eliminated."

The congresswoman defended her Iran War Powers vote:  "Congress alone has power to declare war," warning of long-term consequences and adding it "shouldn’t be partisan." 

The last time Congress formally declared war was on June 4, 1942 and Jayapal asked, "Isn't it about time Congress did again? We do so little during the year it's about time we earned our money legally."

Since the United States was formed back in 1776, Congress has formally declared war 11 times across five conflicts since the Constitution adoption in 1789:

War of 1812: Great Britain (1812)
Mexican-American War: Mexico (1846)
Spanish-American War: Spain (1898)
World War I: Germany (1917) and Austria-Hungary (1917)
World War II: Japan (1941), Germany (1941), Italy (1941), and Bulgaria/Hungary/Romania (1942)

The House voted on a Democrat-led Iran War Powers Resolution designed to limit President Trump's  [aka The Commander-in-Chief] military authority in Tehran. This brings to the forefront once again, the issue over executive powers and what level a president must consult with the loose-lips of members of Congress before waging military strikes. 

If passed, Trump would have to end the use of U.S. troops against Iran and thus allow the regime to continue killing Iranian civilians, as it currently appears to be the case.

Republicans, meanwhile, maintain that the White House is acting within its authority in the best interests of the country and of the remaining Iranian people who have not been killed for protesting the theocratic dictatorship they live under.

And while Jayapal is consistent in her efforts to give Congress the power that Commanders-in-Chief had in the past, others like Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) supported former President Joe Biden's attack on Syria.

For those keeping score, here is a short list by Grok of past presidents who bypassed Congress to use military force: 

Harry S. Truman (1945–1953): Korean War (1950–1953) — Truman committed US troops under UN auspices to repel North Korea's invasion of South Korea, without a declaration of war (often called a "police action").

Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969) and Richard Nixon (1969–1974): Vietnam War escalation (major US combat from 1965–1973) — Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) as authorization to deploy hundreds of thousands of troops; combat continued under Nixon.

Ronald Reagan (1981–1989): Invasion of Grenada (1983, Operation Urgent Fury) — Troops deployed to restore order and protect US citizens after a coup.

George H.W. Bush (1989–1993): Invasion of Panama (1989, Operation Just Cause) — Troops sent to depose Manuel Noriega and protect US interests. Also initiated Operation Desert Shield/Storm (1990–1991 Gulf War) — Large-scale deployment to liberate Kuwait from Iraq, authorized by Congress and UN.

Bill Clinton (1993–2001): Interventions in Somalia (ongoing from Bush era but combat under Clinton), Haiti (1994, Operation Uphold Democracy), Bosnia (1995 NATO bombing/air campaign), and Kosovo (1999 NATO bombing campaign) — US forces engaged in combat roles, often under NATO/UN frameworks without new congressional war declarations.

George W. Bush (2001–2009): War in Afghanistan (2001–2021, Operation Enduring Freedom) — Invasion to oust Taliban and pursue al-Qaeda post-9/11, authorized by 2001 AUMF. Iraq War (2003–2011, Operation Iraqi Freedom) — Invasion to remove Saddam Hussein, authorized by 2002 AUMF.

Barack Obama (2009–2017): Escalated drone strikes and special operations in multiple countries; 2011 Libya intervention (NATO-led air campaign with US combat role); expanded operations against ISIS in Iraq/Syria (2014 onward, under 2001 AUMF).

Other presidents (e.g., Eisenhower, Kennedy, Ford, Carter, Biden) authorized combat in limited contexts (e.g., Lebanon 1958/1982–1983 under Eisenhower/Reagan, or ongoing counterterrorism under Biden), but often smaller-scale or continuations of prior conflicts. 

None of them asked for permission.

So there you have it--hypocrisy on the Hill.

Judge rules on motion to dismiss illegal alien's lawsuit

The Maryland man and his lovely speed bag

Well here we go again. The Biden Justice Department just got a judicial smackdown that’s worth popping some popcorn and sitting back to enjoy the deal. 

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis didn’t just deny their motions to dismiss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawsuit over his botched deportation to El Salvador, she called one of their arguments straight-up “meritless.” Ouch, that’s gotta sting for the DOJ’s legal eagles, who probably thought they could waltz into court and sweep this mess under the rug.

“You made three arguments, defendants, and none are availing … meritless,” Xinis told DOJ attorney Bridget O’Hickey, who must’ve felt like she was back in law school getting a failing grade. The judge wasn’t playing around, and she had every reason to be angry. 

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was one of over 250 Venezuelan and Salvadoran men deported to El Salvador’s maximum-security CECOT prison in March. The guy sued over his deportation, and now he’s back in the U.S., facing human trafficking charges in Tennessee. But here’s where it gets juicy: the government didn’t bother telling Xinis or Abrego Garcia’s lawyers when they brought him back in June and slapped him with an indictment. Classy move, DOJ.

Xinis, who’d already ordered the feds to get Abrego Garcia back to the U.S., wasn’t buying the government’s excuses. She grilled O’Hickey, asking if the U.S. cooked up the indictment just to drag him back. “Obviously you did have power to produce Mr. Abrego because you produced him less than a week later,” Xinis said, pointing out the DOJ’s shady timeline. A sealed indictment in Tennessee dropped six days after the government claimed in Maryland they had no power to bring him back. Sounds like someone’s pants were on fire.

The judge didn’t stop there. She called it “highly problematic” that the feds were scheming to investigate and prosecute Abrego Garcia without looping in her court. “We knew it was coming because eventually it was unsealed,” she said, noting that his lawyers only found out he was back in the U.S. from news reports. Imagine that, your client’s fate hinges on a Comedy News Network ticker. 

Xinis wasn’t amused, asking O’Hickey, “How can this representation be one I can credit?” Good question, Your Honor.

O’Hickey tried to spin it, claiming the U.S. was “negotiating” with El Salvador to bring him back while simultaneously filing motions to dismiss. “At some point, don’t you have an obligation to me to say, ‘Judge, we have the power, we produced him, moot,’” Xinis shot back. She even questioned whether the DOJ’s lawyers knew the Tennessee indictment was coming. O’Hickey’s response was a vague word salad about “ongoing negotiations” and “tandem proceedings,” which would have made Kamala Harris proud. 

Xinis wasn’t having it: “Is the indictment one of those steps? Since we are talking about my court order.”

Here’s where it gets even messier. The DOJ claimed Abrego Garcia wasn’t under investigation until April, a month after his lawsuit started. O’Hickey doubled down, saying, “I don’t believe that’s true, your honor,” even though that contradicts what law enforcement said in Tennessee. 

Xinis also shut down the DOJ’s second motion to dismiss, which argued the lawsuit was moot since Abrego Garcia’s back in the U.S. She’s worried he could be deported again if released from custody, and she’s not wrong to be skeptical. The government’s track record here isn’t exactly inspiring confidence. Xinis laid out a path for the feds to prove they won’t screw this up again: name a country where they’d send him and give him time to challenge it, or promise in a “binding way” that he’ll get due process. 

You know, that pesky thing called the U.S. Constitution.

O’Hickey tried to downplay the deportation as an “isolated error,” insisting, “We’ve acknowledged this was an error and have no intention of making that error a second time.” 

Xinis wasn’t buying the mea culpa. “For three months your clients told the world they weren’t going to do anything to bring him back,” she fired back. “Doesn’t that matter?” She even pointed out that the president, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Attorney General Pam Bondi all claimed there was no error. “I have been told that there was no error,” Xinis said, before ruling, “I don’t find at the moment that this case is moot.”

The DOJ’s Jonathan Guynn admitted that if Abrego Garcia is released from pretrial detention in Tennessee, DHS plans to deport him again, destination TBD. Xinis, fed up with the vagueness, ordered government officials with “firsthand knowledge” to testify Thursday about what happens if he’s released. “It’s like trying to nail Jello to a wall trying to find out what is going to happen next week,” she said, making it clear she’s not letting the feds “spirit him away again” without due process.

This whole saga is a masterclass in government incompetence. The DOJ’s been caught playing fast and loose with the truth, and Judge Xinis is holding their feet to the fire. 

There will definitely be more to follow.

Antisemitic NYC mayoral candidate wants apartheid-inspired higher taxes against Whites

Don't let his smile fool you

Let's look to New York City, where the Democratic nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has unfurled a banner of socialist ambition that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the metropolis. 

This 33-year-old anti-Semite, who only deigned to become an American citizen in 2018, has proposed a scheme as audacious as it is divisive: to “shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods.” 

Yes, you read that correctly, whiter neighborhoods. The phrase drips with the kind of racialized rhetoric that ought to raise eyebrows in any society that values fairness over tribalism.

Mamdani, a self-professed socialist with a penchant for radical posturing, has laid out his vision in a policy memo that accuses the city’s property tax system of favoring “wealthier homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods.” 

His remedy? To lighten the load on lower-income homeowners while, in his words, “raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones.” One might ask whether this is a policy rooted in equity or a thinly veiled exercise in class warfare, tinged with a troubling fixation on race.

Is it even constitutional? I doubt it.

But this is merely the tip of Mamdani’s ideological iceberg. His platform reads like a fever dream of far-left fantasies: city-owned grocery stores, defunding the police, and rent freezes. It is as though he has taken a leaf from the playbook of every failed utopian experiment and decided to test it on one of the world’s greatest cities. 

The backlash has been swift and deserved. Republicans and moderates alike have recoiled, with Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee leading the charge. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Ogles called for Mamdani’s American citizenship to be stripped, citing the candidate’s alleged support for foreign terror organizations, a reference to Mamdani’s professed “love” for individuals convicted of funneling money to Hamas. 

Ogles did not mince words: “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an anti-Semitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” he declared, adding, “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.”

The outrage is not confined to political circles. New York billionaire Bill Ackman, a man not known for sitting idly by, has thrown his considerable weight behind efforts to thwart Mamdani’s ascent. “There are hundreds of millions of dollars of capital available to back a competitor to Mamdani that can be put together overnight,” Ackman declared, signaling a financial bulwark against this socialist insurgency.

Mamdani’s improbable rise, having bested former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, now pits him against incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent in November’s general election. The stage is set for a clash not just of personalities but of visions along with sanity vs. insanity: one tethered to the realities of governance, the other soaring into the ether of ideological purity. 

New Yorkers, one suspects, will have much to ponder as they decide whether to entrust their city to a man whose policies seem less about progress than about settling scores.

Hasn't the West been suicidal long enough? It's time to think about the implications of electing this guy.

Tulsi Gabbard exposes Biden's secret program to quiet conservatives

They thought they could bury it forever, locked away in a vault of secrecy and bureaucratic jargon. The Biden administration’s blueprint for dismantling American freedom was meant to stay hidden, shielded from the eyes of a public they claimed to serve.

But they didn’t see Tulsi Gabbard coming.

In a bombshell move that’s got the DC swamp in a frenzy, Director of National Intelligence Gabbard just ripped the crap-stained sheets off the Biden era’s most chilling and wordy document: the so-called “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”

“As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Read it here: https://t.co/VAXDHkgZTK https://t.co/oNXjKDqamc” — DNI Tulsi Gabbard (
@DNIGabbard) April 16, 2025

Let’s strip away the Orwellian doublespeak. This isn’t a “plan to counter terrorism”—it’s a straight-up playbook for targeting conservatives. While Biden droned on about “unity,” his team was weaponizing Big Tech to silence dissent and building a surveillance state to track Americans with the “wrong” opinions. To his credit, Biden was likely not aware of what his handler[s] was doing because he wasn't aware of most everything beyond ice cream and hair.

The document’s a progressive fever dream: monitor “suspicious” online speech (read: anything right of AOC), bloat federal watchlists with conservatives, and—surprise—find fresh ways to gut the Second Amendment.

Don’t buy the “protecting democracy” hogwash. The Government Accountability Office confirms this wasn’t just talk—it was in motion. How many patriots got labeled “threats” for posting a MAGA meme or questioning an election?

They even slapped Tulsi Gabbard on the TSA’s terrorist watchlist. That’s the Left's America for you.

The plan’s biggest issue? A push for red flag laws and gun restrictions, cloaked as preventing “lethal means.” In their world, owning a firearm or loving the Constitution makes you a “domestic terrorist.”
The SIP ordered agencies to hunt down “DT-related content” online, cozying up with Big Tech to monitor, flag, and erase speech that didn’t toe the progressive line. First Amendment? What’s that?

The Twitter Files already exposed this game—government goons leaning on tech giants to smother dissent on COVID, elections, you name it. The report brags about agencies sharing “relevant information on DT-related and associated transnational terrorist online content” with private companies.

 
This wasn’t a misstep—it was a deliberate attack on the liberties that define America. While the left shrieked about “democracy under threat,” they were laying the groundwork for tyranny.

Gabbard’s declassification is a gut punch to the establishment, exposing what Biden’s “moderate” crew was cooking up in the shadows. Now we’re left wondering: what else is lurking in those classified files?
The founders would be spitting mad. But maybe this is the wake-up call America needs—a reminder of what happens when we let power-drunk bureaucrats run wild, far from the sunlight of accountability.

Next time you hear a Democrat preaching about “saving democracy,” remember this plan. Their version of “democracy” is a far cry from the Republic our founders bled for.

And know that Tulsi Gabbard has bigger balls than Biden and his handler[s], figuratively speaking, of course.

Maxine Waters proves she knows the law like goldfish know algebra

California Dumb-o-cratic Rep. Maxine Waters speaks like a person on crack. She suggested President Trump should deport his wife, Melania, as she went on an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles this weekend.

"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," the aged Waters said from the stage at the rally.

"We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," the intellectually impaired congresswoman added, not knowing about matrimonial law and citizenship.

Melania Trump was born in the former Yugoslavia and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, according to official government biographies of the first lady. She is the first U.S. first lady to become a naturalized citizen, and the second first lady to be born outside of the U.S. The first was the wife of President John Quincy Adams, Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams. She was born in London in 1775 and is no longer with us, much like Waters brain.

Melania sponsored her parents, who were also from current-day Slovenia, for green cards and then citizenship after securing her own citizenship, the New York Times reported in 2018. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady's parents, officially became U.S. citizens in 2018. 

Waters was referring to President Donald Trump signing an executive order on his first day in office that bans birthright citizenship. The executive order works to clarify the 14th Amendment, which states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." His executive order narrows the scope of birthright citizenship banning those born to illegal immigrant parents, or those here legally but on temporary non-immigrant visas.

Trump's EO is currently tied up in court, with the President taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court last week.

Waters joined the protest in Los Angeles on Saturday. She apparently loves protests and isn't very adverse to violence or confrontation having called for it in the past. Hundreds of protesters had gathered at the protest of the Department of Government Efficiency's work to cut down the size of the useless parts of the federal government, including auditing federal agencies in search of overspending, fraud and corruption. 

Protesters marched to the VA hospital on Los Angeles' Wilshire Boulevard as part of the rally, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"We are here because we are not going to let Trump, we’re not going to let Elon Musk, his co-president, or anybody else take the United States Constitution down," Waters added in her address to the crowd on Saturday. 

She has previously said in a different venue:  “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

Evidently, Maxine Waters believes she owns the USA or at least has the right to tell people to leave where she wants them to leave. 

Waters, by the way, has been labeled the most corrupt person in Congress.

Two armed robbers shot by target

San Antonio, TEXAS -- The San Antonio Police Department is investigating a shooting in which two men were rushed to the hospital at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday morning from the 200 block of Ranch Valley.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his head. Emergency Medical Services transported him to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition, according to the San Antonio Police Department. During the investigation, authorities learned that another man had also been taken to the hospital, this one with a gunshot wound to his hip, which was linked to the same incident, SAPD reported.

Per San Antonio police, the two men taken to the hospital were the aggressors, while the person who shot them was the target of an attempted robbery and acting in self-defense.

Police have not disclosed many additional details about the defensive gun use, only confirming that the two men who targeted the 34-year-old armed citizen were also armed. The victim is not currently facing any charges for his actions, and based on what we know, nor should he.

There were other self-defense incidents this weekend but you get the picture: people have the right to defend themselves and their property and the Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment and the U.S. Constitution overall.

Federal appeals court blocks all of Biden's illegal student debt relief campaign scam

"A chicken in every pot, and you get a car; and you get a car; and you do not have to pay the loan you promised to pay back because your neighbors and strangers will all chip in and pay for it, just like they pay all government workers' salaries. Oh, and we're giving ourselves a nice raise."

This is what our political leaders do. They act like Santa Claus and Oprah just to get your votes and then they rarely do anything even close to what they promised. 

Vegetable Biden said he'd go "U.S. Constitution rogue" and relieve students of the loan debts they took out for their college education, which they originally agreed to pay back. The reasons this goes against the Constitution is as follows:

1. Article I, Section 8: The Powers of Congress
- This section grants Congress the power to lay and collect taxes, to pay debts, and to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.
- Congress has the authority to make laws regarding the federal budget and expenditures, including allocation of funds for paying off debts.

2. Article II, Section 3: Presidential Duties
- The President is responsible for ensuring that the laws be faithfully executed, which includes managing federal programs and budgets as enacted by Congress.

3. The Appropriations Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 7)

- “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” This clause implies that federal spending, including any student loan debt relief funding, must be appropriated by Congress.

Given these provisions, while the Vegetable President might propose a policy to have taxpayers pay for student loan debt, such funding would ultimately require Congressional approval through the appropriations process. Any initiative by the executive branch would need to operate within the limits set by existing laws passed by Congress.

So-called President Biden did none of this.

The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by seven Republican-led states to put on hold parts of the U.S. Department of Education’s debt relief plan that had not already been previously blocked by a lower-court judge.

A federal appeals court on Thursday blocked alleged President Biden’s administration from continuing to implement a new student debt relief plan which provides for lower monthly payments for Americans.

That ruling came last month by U.S. District Judge John Ross in St. Louis. It blocked the department from granting further loan forgiveness under the administration’s Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan but had not blocked all of the plan.

The White House has said that over 20 million borrowers could benefit from the SAVE Plan. The administration in May said that 8 million are already enrolled, including 4.6 million whose monthly payments have been reduced to $0, allowing those lucky ones to pay for tattoos, tongue rings, and gender transitioning.

Taxpayers who did not attend college, and those who did and paid off their student loans because they were responsible, are as happy as legal immigrants who went through the system, waited, and obtained legal resident status and citizenship status.

The Education Department on Thursday said it had already granted $5.5 billion to 414,000 borrowers through the SAVE Plan. So screw you, to the millions more who were responsible or who paid their taxes and didn't benefit from the handout.

Another federal judge in Kansas had also blocked parts of the SAVE Plan in June, via a different federal appeals court, the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Pelosi attacks US Judiciary branch of government: "They have gone rogue"

Lip locked anger

As we all know, there are three branches of government: the executive branch, currently held by a man suffering from dementia; the congressional branch, composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate; and the judiciary, which is the Supreme Court comprised of nine justices.

During Donald Trump's first presidency, and hopefully not his last, he appointed three SCOTUS Justices: Neil Gorsuch, 2017; Brett Kavanaugh, 2018; and Amy Coney Barrett, 2020.

As with most justices, their judicial philosophies and decisions often reflect conservative viewpoints, particularly in areas such as individual liberties, regulatory powers, and social issues. Both Coney Barrett and Gorsuch are considered originalists, while Kavanaugh is aligned in that direction but he is also pragmatic in his approach.

The term "originalism" is the judicial philosophy that interprets the U.S. Constitution as it was originally intended to mean or be understood when it was enacted. Thus, the words of the Constitution should be assigned the same meaning as it did when adopted and its interpretation should be grounded in the text itself and the historical context and intent of the framers. Therefore, it limits the role of the Supreme Court and calls for the need for change to come from the legislation or amendments rather than the Court changing the law via judicial interpretation.

Naturally, the judicial philosophy of the Supreme Court with its conservative majority tends to piss off the left, who, when in power, would like to make the rules of the game to their advantage.

Former Speaker of the House, Nancy "Hands-a-Blur" Pelosi (D-CA) had a covert conniption we must assume, when Trump made those appointments to SCOTUS. The ample dentured octogenarian said in an interview on the Communist Network News (CNN) with Anderson Cooper, that the Supreme Court has "gone rogue" when asked about their legitimacy.

Pelosi [aka "Dancing Dentures"] made the remarks Monday night about the judiciary branch of American government because she doesn't agree with their rulings, and anyone who disagrees with her has no right to do so.

“No, I think they have gone rogue. It’s most unfortunate,” she claimed, when asked about their legitimacy. “But it’s unfortunate further to see what the other justices … what happened to the chief justice? Did he go weak or did he go rogue? I don’t know. And that’s the same thing with these members of Congress, if I can take it back to that, because, as tragic as that night was — and they were coming after me to put a bullet in my head. They were going to hang the — have a gallows for the vice president of the United States.”

“So, no, I don’t have confidence in the Supreme Court,” the congresswoman of the failed state of California later added. “I think that some of the decisions they have — see, I respect their point of view. If they have a point of view about a woman’s right to choose, okay, but that’s not what they’re there to do, to advocate for a point of view. Run for Congress.”

She claimed that the justices voted “their opinion on policy” rather than follow “the oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States.”

“I want us to get back to a place where the three branches of government, as our Founders initiated, are respected across the board,” she claimed. “But I don’t have a lot of confidence in this court, unfortunately. I say that with a heavy heart."

The fact that Trump undid Roe v. Wade and gave the power back to the states, thus taking it away from the Supreme Court, shows exactly the opposite claim made by Pelosi. This is why we are a republic as opposed to a pure democracy. But people like Pelosi [aka "The Ice Cream Lady"] want the power of the majority to rule over the minority, even when the difference in number is nearly the same.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." This is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but he probably didn't say it.

Pelosi may not like the existence of protections in the U.S. Constitution and our checks and balances in government, which protects us from the tyranny of the majority, but these safeguards are what makes the country the best we have on earth. We aren't perfect, but we are far beyond what's out there.

The Deep State has a plan to deal with Trump

Biden has nothing to show for his term as President. In fact, some say [like me] that he's not running the show and is actually an 'alleged' president, or a 'so called' president. He is down in the polls and the Democrats are desperate to do something.

Former President Donald Trump is by far the leading candidate for the GOP so the left is doing the "threat to democracy," "he's no different than Hitler" schtick. They have to do this because they have nothing to show for their time in leadership other than porn in the schools, two serious wars, incredibly high inflation, a President who craps his pants in front of the Pope and who is as confused as a pedophile in Boys' Town. 

Biden is a total failure but the left cannot admit it so they go after Trump.

The Red State reported that the Democrat powers that be are trying to do something about the Donald, as per an NBC revealed. According to an NBC report, they worry that if Trump wins the presidency they don't know what he will do so "a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs."

Boys and girls, can you say 'paranoia'?

According to the NBC report, these people are quietly studying Trump's past behavior and his 2024 policy positions in order to be ready should he win this November. They are ready to take legal action and threaten Trump's appointees if they undermine constitutional norms--something the Democrats believe is only their right to do.

“We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.

McCord must be referring to actions like using the DOJ to prosecute only those who don't follow the President's narrative--oh wait--that wasn't Trump. Perhaps she is referring to calling for military strikes against the Houthis in Yemen without going through Congress--oh dang--that wasn't Trump.

This garbage needs to stop right now. Trump may or may not win, but if he does get elected, those unelected scumcrumpets better not interfere with the workings of government.

Biden's DHS "likely" violated First Amendment by working with Big Tech to censor election content

" . . . it makes sense, ice cream has no bones."

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

An injunction was ordered Tuesday on the Department of Homeland Security by a federal court after it found that the agency probably violated the First Amendment by coordinating with social media companies to effectively censor "election-related speech."

[H/T Fox News Digital]

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals extended the scope of an injunction in place that limits the Biden administration's communication with big tech companies to include the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within the Department of Homeland Security.

Of course it wasn't Biden himself who did the communicating now that it's obvious communicating isn't one of Joe's strong points--it's likely someone behind the curtain pulling his strings.

According to Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (R), who is leading the litigation against the Biden administration, CISA is the "nerve center" of the White House's "vast censorship enterprise" and "the very entity that worked with the FBI to silence the Hunter Biden laptop story." 

"CISA was created to protect Americans from foreign attack, and now it has begun targeting its own citizens," Bailey told the outlet.

A three-judge panel determined that CISA was the "primary facilitator" of the FBI's interactions with the social-media platforms and worked in close coordination with the FBI to push the platforms to change their moderation policies to cover "hack-and-leak" content.

The opinion in the order describes CISA’s "switchboarding" operations as "merely relaying flagged social-media posts from state and local election officials to the platforms." But the judge said that "in reality, the practice is ended up being "[s]omething more,'" the order reads.

"CISA used its frequent interactions with social-media platforms to push them to adopt more restrictive policies on censoring election-related speech. And CISA officials affirmatively told the platforms whether the content they had ‘switchboarded’ was true or false," it added.

"Thus, when the platforms acted to censor CISA-switchboarded content, they did not do so independently. Rather, the platforms’ censorship decisions were made under policies that CISA has pressured them into adopting and based on CISA’s determination of the veracity of the flagged information. Thus, CISA likely significantly encouraged the platforms’ content-moderation decisions and thereby violated the First Amendment," the judges said.

Well this is worse than Watergate and J6 combined. 

The injunction stems from a lawsuit brought by Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general against the Biden administration that accused high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies "under the guise of combating misinformation" that ultimately led to censoring speech on topics, including Hunter Biden’s laptop, COVID-19 origins and the efficacy of face masks.

If any word in the English language can be used to promote Marxism, that word is "misinformation." Because it's the ones who define what misinformation is, that has the power to shut down dissent.

The attorneys general deposed Dr. Anthony Fauci, and FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan. Federal Judge Terry A. Doughty of the Fifth Circuit ordered the first injunction on July 4th (Independence Day) preventing White House officials and other federal agencies from meeting with tech companies about ways for them to impose "Big Brother" tactics in order to censor social media.

The scathing injunction said the government's actions during the pandemic were akin to "an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.'"

"If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history," the injunction states. "In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech."

The Justice Department has appealed the court order to the Supreme Court, arguing that the government faced "irreparable harm" because Doughty's order may prevent the federal government from "working with social media companies on initiatives to prevent grave harm to the American people and our democratic processes."

But the truth is, the American people would face "irreparable harm" if these leftists had their way.

Lying Dem Rep. said GOP tried to "provide themselves with a pay raise"

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) may not be the prettiest lawmaker to grace the halls of Congress, but she is one of the Democrats' biggest liars. She accused House Republicans on Saturday of trying to "provide themselves with a pay raise" as she objected to a stopgap spending bill which she eventually voted for as there is nothing she really stands for other than the freedom to look like an old woke hippy fool.

DeLauro said that the "many changes" between what was originally offered in the bill and the version that was offered in the Senate, showed a pay increase for those serving in Congress, and blamed the GOP for that.

"Here is one that I believe the majority will not mention," the lovely DeLauro said. "They amend the Senate bill to give themselves a pay raise. A pay raise. It's there. You can look at me, you can smile but what you did was you amended the Senate bill to give yourselves a pay raise."

DeLauro's claim was met with immediate pushback from House Republicans, who shouted her down, yelling "That's false."

Which of course, it is.

So she took to social media, hoping to get lots of positive feedback when she wrote: "The Member Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) automatically takes effect unless it is blocked. The Senate blocked this in their CR. The House GOP CR does not.

"News flash: a COLA is a pay increase for Members of Congress."

Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., later took issue with DeLauro's statement, claiming it was "simply not true" and an "excuse" not to vote in favor of the measure.

Rep. Austin Scott (R-CA)

Disproving DeLauro's claim, and proving she either doesn't know the law or is a liar, Scott read aloud the 27th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states: "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."

"You need to know who's telling you the truth and who's not telling you the truth," Scott said. "Recently, you heard my colleague from Connecticut tell you that the Republican bill has a pay raise for members in Congress. It's simply not true, and if it did, it would be unconstitutional. And if the Senate bill changes the compensation for members of Congress, then it, too, is unconstitutional.

"They are simply grasping at straws. They have intended to shut down the government from the start," Scott added. "Disregard totally what you're hearing from the other side. They are grasping at straws, making excuses and telling flat-out lies about member compensation as an excuse to vote against this piece of legislation."

Democrats lying? Wow, who would have ever thought that?

Everyone who is not a Democrat.

The House later voted to pass a short-term spending bill, as usual, and moved to avoid a government shutdown if the Senate approves the measure. If expedited there, Congress could avoid a shutdown by a hair.

It's just the lies, more lies and damn lies that are annoying.

Even New Mexico's Democrat AG refuses to defend Gov. Lujan Grisham's unconstitutional gun ban

Self-identifies as a dictator

The New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez refuses to defend Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's illegal gun order, which faces a number of lawsuits. He told the governor in a letter on Tuesday that he believed the so called emergency order violates state and federal constitutions as it bans law abiding folks from carrying firearms in public spaces across Bernalillo County.

Torrez wrote: “I am writing to inform you that my office will not defend your administration in the above referenced cases challenging” Lujan Grisham’s order.

“Though I recognize my statutory obligation as New Mexico’s chief legal officer to defend state officials when they are sued in their official capacity, my duty to uphold and defend the constitutional rights of every citizen takes precedence,” his letter continued. “Simply put, I do not believe that the Emergency Order will have any meaningful impact on public safety but, more importantly, I do not believe it passes constitutional muster.”

Because it doesn't. It's a power-grab and will fail in court, but in the meanwhile, it may be put in place before it is heard there. Predictably, many law enforcement officials have said that they will not enforce the order because they plan to live up to their oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Lujan Grisham is domestic.

Lujan Grisham signed an executive order on Friday that banned open and concealed carrying firearms in Albuquerque and the rest of the surrounding county. The governor enacted the order — to remain in place for 30 days — after a spate of shootings that killed several children by scumbags who obviously will not abide by the order, leaving the rest of the public defenseless. 

She's not the brightest light in the tool shed.

“The tragic deaths of 5-year-old Galilea Samaniego in a recent drive-by shooting and 11-year-old Froylan Villegas in a road rage incident should serve as a wakeup call to everyone,” Torrez wrote. “I encourage you to engage in a more thoughtful and deliberative process with members of the New Mexico Legislature rather than taking unilateral action that infringes on the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens while having little if any discernible impact on the underlying dynamics driving gun violence in our community.”

Torrez, a Democrat, joins a handful of other officials in refusing to enforce or defend the order. Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller, also a Democrat, said in a statement to social media that the city’s police force would not be responsible for enforcing the governor’s order. Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen announced on Monday that he would not enforce the order either, calling it unconstitutional.

Dictator Lujan Grisham responded to Allen in a statement to the NM Political Report, saying that her administration had “given you the tools, Sheriff Allen — now stop being squeamish about using them. I will not back down from doing what’s right and I will always put the safety of the people of New Mexico first.”

He isn't being squeamish; he's being patriotic.

Lujan Grisham said in an interview on CNN: “It’s not for police to tell me what’s constitutional or not. They haven’t supported one, not one gun violence effort in the State of New Mexico including domestic violence protections, universal background checks.”

The guns have not responded to her comments against them.

Hopefully, Lujan Grisham will be impeached and soon thrown out of office.

NM Gov. gets her comeuppance on gun-ban move

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-of course) seems to believe that she has the authority to ban law abiding citizens from being allowed to carry guns in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for the next 30 days or more.

The far-left governor signed an executive order Thursday stating that gun violence is a public health emergency, implying that her definition of health is twisted. While health is the state of being free from illness or injury, the gun "health emergency" is more of a societal problem which the left refuses to address.

On Friday, Grisham used her political position to suspend open and concealed carry laws in Albuquerque and the surrounding area and threatened to lengthen or renew her unconstitutional order.

Although she basically agreed that her order might be unconstitutional and she might lose in court, she went ahead and became New Mexico's first dictator.

Her decision was so crazy that even far, far-left anti-gun activist David Hogg criticized her.

“I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution,” Hogg posted on X.

I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/6GfbOZLc7g

Even far, far-leftist and anti-intelligence Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) had negative words about Grisham's executive order, causing many Republicans to experience the vapors upon hearing his words of reason:

“I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution,” Lieu wrote on X. “No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.”

New Mexico GOP state Reps. Stefani Lord and John Block on Saturday said that they were going forward to impeach Grisham.

“I am calling on counsel to begin the impeachment process against Governor Grisham,” Lord said. “This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populous. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners. Even Grisham believes this emergency order won’t prohibit criminals from carrying or using weapons; a basic admission that this will only put New Mexicans in danger as they won’t be able to defend themselves from violent crime.”

Block said that there was “no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.”

And what makes anyone on the left really believe that if you take the rights of law abiding individuals to defend themselves, that lawless miscreants would go along with the gun ban? All it serves to do is leave the good people of Albuquerque defenseless.

Elon Musk responded on his X platform to Grisham’s order posting: 

At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal.

How soon can this person be removed from office?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 9, 2023

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) responded, “She’s nuts, but she’s taking what the tyrants did during COVID (forced jabs, travel bans, closed businesses, suppressed speech — with no laws passed) to the next level.”

She's also doing what the Nazis did to the public by taking away their means of self-defense against a tyrannical government. Who does she think she is anyway? Gretchen Whitmer?

Joe claims he won't pardon Hunter: believe him this time?

POTUS seen here picking his nose

It's hard to tell when President Joe Biden is lying because it's hard to decipher the sounds emitted from his mouth. So when the White House's incompetent black lesbian Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre [KJP] speaks on Joe's behalf, it's best to wait and see what ends up being the truth.

KJP was her usual adamant self when she claimed that Joe's drug-addled, whoring, bag-man son, Hunter, would not be granted clemency by the President. This comes one day following his rejected probation-only plea deal on gun charges and taxes that U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika issued after she realized Hunter's lawyers were trying to play her. 

“Is there any possibility that the president would end up pardoning his son?” a reporter asked the affirmative action Press Secretary at her regular briefing.

“No,” KJP replied, uncharacteristically responding to the question with a related answer.

When the same Fox News reporter tried to ask a follow-up question, KJP snapped, “I just said no — I just answered” and called on a different journalist, but not the guy from Africa who she always refuses to call on but someone who would ask easier questions.

The way the U.S. Constitution is worded, a president could pardon anyone they want, and in our geriatric president's case, that would be his son. However, if he did, that would cause a huge political blowback.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (RINO-CA) has made comments this week about a possible impeachment inquiry into the President's role in Hunter's foreign business dealings such as those in China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine, where Hunter did not register as a foreign agent as the law requires, and where he paid off someone referred to as the "big guy."

A reporter from the far-left Salon asked a question to which KJP claimed that Hunter did not receive "favorable treatment" from his father's Justice Department, and amazingly, nobody rolled on the floor laughing their ass off.

He borrowed Dad's aviator glasses

In fact, two IRS whistleblowers revealed that Biden-appointed US Attorneys in Washington, DC and Los Angeles blocked charges against Hunter leading to what assistant US attorney Leo Wise repeatedly admitted in court Thursday was an unprecedented plea deal.

The Salon "reporter" asked KJP, “Can you state categorically that the administration has neither sought nor received favorable treatment from the DOJ for any investigation into the president, members of the administration, his family or former President Donald Trump?”

“Absolutely not,” the incompetent Press Secretary responded. “The Department of Justice is independent, the president respects the rule of law, he’s been saying that since he was before [sic] president and that will remain the case,” she said, hoping anyone would believe the load she was shoveling.

Joe Biden repeatedly interacted with his son’s foreign business partners in spite of him lying that he never was involved with any of Hunter's business deals.

Hunter’s plea deal to two tax misdemeanors and a gun possession felony would have been expunged after two years had the judge fallen for the gambit his lawyers tried to trick the judge into signing.

The sides will appear again in court in 30 days after filings on next steps.

SCOTUS Justices release joint statement about leftist extremism

All nine Supreme Court justices issued a joint statement last week opposing Senate Democrats' trying to impose new ethics oversight measures to control their decision-making process. This attempt comes after the leftists tried to stir up ire and controversy aimed at the three conservative justices whose decisions they despise, just like they do with the U.S. Constitution. 

Some Democrats have described the U.S. Constitution as an outdated, irrelevant document because that outdated document allows them the free speech in which to make that almost seditious claim.

So last week, all nine justices, including non-biologist Ketanji Brown-Jackson, released a statement opposing the fascistic efforts to impose their power move over the judiciary and the nation's highest court.

The justices' statement also contained a letter from Chief Justice, John Roberts, to Senate Judicial Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) stating that he will not be attending a hearing requested by Senate Democrats.

“Testimony by the Chief Justice of the United States before the Senate Judiciary Committee is extremely rare, as one would anticipate in light of the separation of powers concerns along with the importance of maintaining judicial independence,” Roberts stated, refusing to bend a knee for the left.

The justices explained that they wrote the statement to "offer further clarification to the bar as well as the public regarding the way the Justices handle certain recurring problems and is also to put to rest a few common misconceptions." 

Those misconceptions primarily arise from the left who hate the idea of separation of powers as clearly elucidated in the U.S. Constitution in which the three branches of government, executive, legislative and judiciary, are kept separate. Each branch is given certain powers which checks and balances the other branches. In the left's latest move on the Supreme Court, they would like to have control over them with a final say on their rulings. 

The fact that leftists were able to protest with impunity in front of the homes of conservative justices in order to pressure and scare them when a ruling on Roe v. Wade was being considered, showed their hand even before this latest move. The letter highlighted those previous threats, which reached their peak last year when a leftist attempted to murder three conservative justices.

“A word on security is required. Judges at all levels experience increased threats to their personal safety,” the letter stated. “These threats are amplified in the case of Supreme Court members due to the higher profile of the issues they address. Recent events demonstrate that such threats are not just hypothetical. The Supreme Court Police, United States Marshals, state and local law enforcement, and other agencies are in charge of security. Matters discussed here, including travel, lodging, and disclosure, may at times be subject to security recommendations.”

So good for the justices, even the ones who cannot tell us what is a woman. At least when it comes to their own power, they're willing to take a stand to remain separated from the executive and legislative branches of government.

Chucky Schumer attacks US Constitution via Fox News: says he has right 'to tell them what to do'

When it comes to the U.S. Constitution and the law, the Left sees it as a convenient tool to be applied when it supports their ideology. However, like Nancy Pelosi at a Trump State of the Union address, the Left is quick to tear up and throws the U.S.Constitution in the garbage.

Like our alleged President Joe Biden, who believes he can do what he wants when it comes to canceling debt and other unconstitutional undertakings, Senate Majority Leader Chuck "Meganostrils" Schumer (D) thinks the First Amendment only applies to liberals, progressives and socialists [but I repeat myself] and this old freedom of speech and press thing is just a big pain in the butt.

Chuck spoke to fellow leftists on CNN and MSNBC recently and told CNN's John Berman that he believes he has the "right" to dictate to Fox as to what they can say to the public. Vladimir Putin would be proud.

“This is telling them, showing them they have hurt our democracy,” Schumer said, “in a way that no other actor other than Donald Trump has done.”

“When it’s that vital, I think we not only have a right to tell Rupert Murdoch and Fox what to do, but an obligation,” Schumer declared. Schumer then encouraged people to harass Fox and “tell them to do what Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer ask.”

Schumer also called for Fox to apologize to the American people over the perpetuation of the election fraud that Fox had pushed. He is oblivious to the hypocrisy his words are. He never called for any of the legacy news outlets to apologize for the lies surrounding Hunter Biden or the coronavirus lies we have been told. He never called for CNN and MSNBC to apologize for the stories they concocted about Donald Trump and the Russian collusion hoax. But Schumer is quick to jump on the anti-Fox bandwagon because they don't fall in lockstep with his fellow socialists.

Meganostrils then spoke to MSNBC and claimed that he was flipping off the U.S. Constitution because "our democracy was at greater risk than it's ever been."

The left always uses the 'democracy shtick when it suits them, but they attack democracy and rule of law every chance they get. Take their attack on the Supreme Court justices and how protesters illegally demonstrated outside Justice Kavanaugh's and Barrett-Coney's homes. Schumer was fine with that because the protest suited his agenda regarding Roe v Wade. But when it comes to protests at abortion mills [I cannot in good conscience call them clinics], pro-life people get arrested.

The January 6th Capitol Hill protests saw Trump supporters thrown in prison for abnormally long times before their cases were heard, but the rioters that burned down small businesses over the George Floyd killing got away with it, for the most part. 

The fact that Schumer threatened to "take steps" against Fox News should tell us all, like them or not, they have the right to report as much as CNN, MSNBC and the other leftist media. And if the left hates Fox, they have to be doing something right.

“We’ll have to see what else we can do,” Schumer said ominously, threatening Fox.

As my favorite actress, Greta Thunberg says, "How dare you?"

It's time for all Americans to wake up to the real threats to our democracy and freedoms.

Jonathan Turley destroys Debbie Wasserman Schultz's dumb hearing questions

Unfortunately, she gives blonde jokes credibility

Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Duh) went head-to-head with George Washington Law professor and legal expert Jonathan Turley and showed the nation that she was completely out of her league, over her head, and in deep poo. Sadly, she gives dumb blonde jokes credibility.

Debbie Downer tried to discredit Turley in the House hearings on the weaponization of the federal government. That's like taking a rubber knife to an AK47 fight.

Debbie's questioning began with this gem: "So essentially your answers to questions yesterday were your own opinion and pure conjecture."

Professor Turley politely responded, “No, I wouldn’t say that, I try to base them on what we know from the Twitter Files—” 

Then Debbie interrupted him with the same BS premise: “But this is only just your opinion, would you say, as a Twitter account user?” 

Turley tried once more to answer the cretin's question: “No, I’ve come to give legal advice based on facts that are in the public domain and I would really refer to—” 

True to form Wasserman Schultz didn't allow Turley to complete a sentence saying that his answers were using up her time to question him [I paraphrase]. Since she couldn't discredit his answers nor compete with his intellect, the only thing she could do was to try to keep him from responding to her questions. She is an obvious idiot and a rude one to boot.

Subsequently, during a Friday morning appearance on “Fox and Friends,” Professor Turley immolated Wasserman Schultz's insistence that he was merely offering "opinion and conjecture" about Twitter working with the FBI, but that he had no “specific or unique knowledge” to speak about the issue. 

Professor Turley responded to the idiot congress-cretin:

"The congressman was asking if I’ve ever worked at Twitter as a condition for my talking about what the Twitter files. It’s like saying you have to work at the Pentagon if you want to testify about the implications of the Pentagon Papers. The point of witnesses before committees is often to give legal analysis based on what is known and what could be found in this investigation.

"The exchange she was referring to was a member who expressly asked me about the Twitter files and what this suggests about what I’ve called ‘censorship by surrogate.’ And then she went into this issue of, ‘Well, you’ve never worked at Twitter. How do you know what goes on at Twitter,’ which is completely absurd.

"The whole premise of my testimony was that Twitter has now authenticated and confirmed these facts. These facts are coming from Twitter. These are Twitter files. And the facts indicate that they had weekly meetings with the government.

"They indicate that the government would send long lists of citizens and others to be targeted, censored, to be in some cases, banned. Those are very serious allegations that raise constitutional questions, which is why I was there to discuss it."

Evidently, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is clueless about the role of an expert witness and not very bright. She is the embodiment of the Democratic Party, which has half the country fooled by their false promises about the future, and their lies about the love of the country they can't wait to change.

If the Democrats could have their way, there would be no free speech and no Constitution as we know it.

Judge puts restraining order on IL gun control law days after it goes into effect

Effingham County Judge Joshua Morrison temporarily blocked fat cat Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker from enforcing a newly enacted ban on certain semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. Using a temporary restraining order, the judge slapped the gun control law after former Republican candidate for attorney general Tom DeVore sued to block the law. 

DeVore spoke at a press release and said he's representing citizens from 87 Illinois counties who are challenging the law. He called it, "an outright attack on the constitutional rights of lawful gun owners across the state."

Morrison's ruling only applies to 850 plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit in Effingham County and four licensed gun dealers, but hopefully more gun owners will get the message and jump on board the freedom train.

Pritzker said the decision didn't surprise him and accused the plaintiffs of advancing "ideology over public safety" in seeking to have the law struck down. But it isn't ideology that is being advanced, it's advancing the individual's right to own and bear arms, particularly in defense against a government that would take that right away, much like all dictatorships do when seizing control over its people.

"We are well aware that this is only the first step in defending this important legislation," Pritzker said. "I remain confident that the courts will uphold the constitutionality of Illinois' law, which aligns with the eight other states with similar laws and was written in collaboration with lawmakers, advocates, and legal experts."

Except it is not constitutional by any stretch.

In an 11-page ruling, Morrison affirmed that the plaintiffs have a constitutional right to bear arms that is protected by both the Illinois state Constitution and the Constitution of the United States.

"Plaintiffs are being immediately and irreparably harmed each day in which their fundamental right to bear arms is being denied," Morrison wrote.

Just ask anyone who has ever needed to defend themselves with a firearm that ended up saving their life. And everyone knows, including the fat man, that if guns are made illegal [which is their ultimate goal] then the only people with guns will be the lawbreakers and the police. 

How ironic is it that the left wants to defund the police but only want the police to have guns?

Judge Morrison cited a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision from 2022 that struck down New York state’s concealed carry law. That 6-3 ruling in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen found that the "plain text" of the Second Amendment protected the right of the plaintiffs in that case to carry firearms for self-defense.

"Due to the speed with which this bill was passed, the effect to protected classes could not have been considered, nor could the Legislature have studied if this was the least restrictive way to meet their goal," Morrison also wrote.

Pritzker signed the law on Jan. 10 in the knee-jerk response to the mass shooting that killed seven and injured 30 at the Highland Park July Fourth parade. The rationale for the law is that if guns magazines were restricted to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for handguns, along with other restrictions, the shooter would have complied with the law because mass shooters are basically law abiding murderers.

The idiot governor defended the gun control law, called the Protect Illinois Communities Act, saying it "takes weapons of war and mass destruction off the street while allowing law-abiding gun owners to retain their collections." 

Well, the name sounds good but it doesn't protect anyone who follows the law from those who break it.

 The left is good at labeling things as to how they want you to believe what they mean. Take for example the Inflation Reduction Act--it increases inflation and prioritizes their own issues such as climate change. Another example is the Pro-Choice movement, in which only one person gets to choose whether or not to take the life of the other unborn person.

The Illinois State Rifle Association, a gun rights group that filed a separate federal challenge to the law control law, applauded Morrison's ruling.

"This is a clear indication from the court that the General Assembly and Governor Pritzker rammed this law through improperly. The ISRA firmly believes the law is an infringement on all law-abiding residents’ 2nd Amendment rights," the group said.
