It is hard to overstate how corrupt this all is. The Chief Justice has a great deal to answer for:his zeal in protecting District Court judges who successfully neutered the first Trump Admin and now are trying to nullify the 2024 election is horrifying. Time to take out the trash
Judge James Boasberg signed off on the search warrants against congress. Boasberg issued blanket orders to the cell phone companies not to reveal the search warrants. Boasberg is a FISA Court Judge. Boasberg authorized one of the Carter Page title-1 surveillance warrants.

100% correct. The Democrat Party is finally being forced to unmask itself. The Dem Party hacks, elected Dems and a majority of its voters are eager to destroy the United States. Keep them on the sidelines or watch our country burn.
Dems are playing for keeps. Whatever you thought was a restraint on their behavior, that the boundaries of civilization might apply, were pure cowardly self-delusion. I've been trying to explain this, and the change in behavior on our part necessary to confront it, for what -

Democrats tell us that Obamacare is the greatest law in the history of the world that totally fixed healthcare, but unless we prop it up with endless taxpayer subsidies, your premiums will get expensive-- and it will be all Republicans' faults. Make it make sense.

America is a museum society. Donald Trump is the only man to live up to the "ruthless, fluid, crucible of modernity" propaganda because he grew up in a household where Gaelic and German were spoken tongues.
This is deeply disturbing. It’s the people’s house, not his. It’s our history, not his. It’s our choice, not his.

Trump is the only and 100% the reason anything has improved since 2015 in terms of ideas worldwide. What imagines itself to be the voice of “the right” and populysm has largely been a headwind

The WSJ is reporting that former FBI director Chris Wray is under investigation. “Former officials have received subpoenas in recent days in the Wray inquiry, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.” LFG.

The 2020 Census numbers must be corrected.
The Census Bureau admitted they got it wrong in 2020. But it’s even worse than a miscount. States were intentionally over and under counted, costing citizens seats in Congress and Electoral College votes. The Census Bureau used a secretive algorithm that only a handful of

Thanks, @realDonaldTrump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

In other words, preserving the power and reputation of the institution is the goal. Justice, correct interpretation of the law, et cetera are of no consequence as long as the judiciary and public deference to its rulings are maintained.
Roberts is to the Supreme Court, as Bill Barr was to the Dept of Justice. Nothing more.

This isn't hard: The One Big Beautiful Bill closed all the loopholes that allowed Democrat run states to use Americans’ tax dollars for Medicaid and other federal health programs to pay for illegal aliens. Democrats are now demanding we get rid of these provisions that ensure

The popesplainers really need to knock it off with this Orwellian gaslighting. It just makes them look stupid or dishonest. There is no “Gee, what did they really mean?” ambiguity whatsoever in what scripture or earlier popes such as St. Innocent I, Innocent III, St. Pius V, St.
@FeserEdward The pope is the sure guardian of doctrinal consistency. If every laity thinks he is the guardian of doctrinal consistency, that its his job to interpret and harmonize tradition even against the Pope, this leads to a disunity where each has different claims to the true Tradition

Hilary Clinton is an Enemy of the American People; a bitter corrupt old woman who lost in 2016 because enough Americans intuitively understood that she hates our Country and it's people. In a just world, she wld end her days in prison.
WOW 🚨 Heritage Foundation exposes Hillary Clinton was directly behind getting the European Union to use their Digital Services Act to pressure Elon Musk and America back into censorship Hillary Clinton flew overseas for a meeting to facilitate this against America “They (The

This is the juridical equivalent of self immolation and I am thrilled to induct it into the canon of Great Resistance Literature.

This decision has EVERYTHING. - anti Trump doodles by the judge himself - bitching about the voters - irrelevant diversions into stuff he saw on the news - an overarching sense of hopelessness Olbermann himself couldn’t have done better.

FOLKS WE HAVE A WINNER IN THE HIGHLY CONTESTED RESISTANCE JUDGE SWEEPSTAKES. It was close! There were a lot of early entries that impressed. But NOTHING is going to beat this shit right here.
I gasped when I saw the front page of this decision; Judge Young includes a postcard sent to him asking "Trump has pardons and tanks ... what do you have?" He responds "Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People ... have our magnificent Constitution."

Two great follows on X. Everything Hadrian meets Everything Classical. Definitely worth a read and then two follows.
"The Villa at Tivoli served as a testament to Hadrian’s intellect and spirit and a reminder of his travels... he could sit at the symbolic centre of the Roman world, conducting state affairs in certain areas and pursuing intellectual interests in others."
