Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton just won $1.75 BILLION from Google for spying on and tracking and selling personal data of Americans in a tremendous victory for the rights of the consumer to be free of espionage and data mining.
This is huge and it may well force Google into revamping it's whole crooked operation.
Google has been one of the power centers for the Left in America. It manipulates search details, blocking many websites. Look at the Gateway Punidit; he was huge until Google banned him. This site too was pretty respectable but is now only found if you look specifically for it; it doesn'tappear in search engines otherwise. I used to write stuff that got attention from people, especially conservative talk radio and whatnot. No longer because Google suppresses it. We are now like the 1.4 millionth website in terms of readershi; we used to be in the thousands. Google killed us.
So I won't shed any tears.

Will wonders never cease? New York State is swinging hard to the right and Kathy Hochul's knobby knees can be heard knocking clear up to Canada.
New Yorkers appear to have had enough.
Hochum Hochel is up for re-election in '26 and is facing the possible challenge from Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Unless the polling changes Hochel could find herself seeking new employment.
Of course a year is a long time. And the people of New York have short memories; as the situation improves under Trump they will accredit her with it and not MAGA, or at least that's how it usually works in heavily blue states.
But maybe not; times change. Like an alcoholic, the state must hit rock bottom before the people there decide to swear off the bottle.

So you think there is no vote fraud in America? Think again.
FTA:
According to KREX-TV, former United States Postal Service employee Vicki Stuart and her friend, Sally Maxedon, were charged with stealing multiple ballots of residents in Mesa County, Colorado, filling out the ballots, and submitting the ballots to the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder’s Office.
KREX-TV reported that Stuart pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of forgery and one count of identity theft. The outlet noted that 32 other counts against the former United States Postal Service worker were dropped, including a charge for attempting to influence a public servant.
The two are claiming they were "testing" the system. Ri-ight.

It's Judge Jeanine Pirro for D.C. Attorney!
The popular and feisty former Republican district attorney of Westchester County, N.Y. and former country judge has been nominated by Trump to replace the failed appointment of Ed Martin. Trump did what he should have done; choose someone perhaps even more offensive to the Left than he originally nominated. Now Thom Tillis, the real estate fraudster, will have no excuse for not voting for her.
She will be interim attorney for the D.C. Circuit, a very powerful position. Whether she will be confirmed by the Seante is another matter.
This is a great pick! She will clean house.
It still frosts me that Tillis sank Martin and he did so because Martin supported the J6 political prisoners. Tillis led the charge against them on the GOP side of the aisle. Taking out someone for not calling J6 an "insurrection" is inexcusable and Trump needs to smite Tillis for this. J6 was always about some being more equal than others and about protecting the Ruling Class and their petty power.
We cannot allow such things to happen. The whole point of the draconian prosecutions and long prison sentences of J6ers was to terrorize middle America into silence, and by taking out Martin Tillis is still using the power of the state to stifle the opponents of the Ruling Class. He wants anyone who dared support the protesters to fear for their careers.
In Washington one of the worst things that can happen to you is to be blacklisted; they all make out quite well otherwise. Many would prefer a stint in prison to being exiled. That is why we have so much trouble breaking with the failed status quo; the Deep State punishes mavericks. We need to punish THEM for doing that; it's the only way it will stop.
But this is a good pick and I'm going to be pleased to see Judge jeanine bring the hammer down!

Trump sacked three Democrats from the Consumer Protection Safety Committee, locking one of them out of his office. The left is wailing and gnashing their false teeth over this.
Good; if they aren't furious it means Trump isn't doing his job.
The three had a hand in the attempt to ban gas cookstoves during the Biden Administration, which is an egregious violation of their roll, which is to make sure products are safe, not choose what products Americans may use.
Funny thing is they accuse TRUMP of a power grab; what do they think Joe Biden did when appointing these clowns who attempted to implement the Green New Deal via their office? Trump has actually restored the commission, not overturned it.

This is a corrected and expanded version of an article originally published at 1:08 PM on May 7, 2025. It includes critical factual updates and new findings resulting from an ongoing investigation. I am being fully transparent about an error I made at the outset of the investigation, how that error occurred, and how correcting it led to the discovery of something even more significant..
Building a Real Estate Empire, One Undisclosed Deed at a Time
The initial confusion was driven by a seemingly impossible coincidence: Senator Thom R. Tillis has a brother—also named Thom R. Tillis. That detail, obscured in legal and corporate filings, made it appear that the Senator himself had engaged in a self-dealing real estate transaction. I originally believed the Senator had acquired 5508 Enslow Place through an LLC via $0 quitclaim deed and later sold it for profit without reporting the transaction in mandatory senate financial disclosures.
That turned out to be incorrect. But rather than invalidate the story, correcting it uncovered something even more bizarre—and far more troubling.Senator Thomas Roland Tillis, a senior Republican from North Carolina and sitting member of powerful Senate committees on Banking, Finance, and the Judiciary, is tied to a network of real estate transactions involving his family members, an array of limited liability companies, and a nonprofit corporation registered to a luxury residential address. The result is a financial and legal ecosystem that appears to be engineered for opacity and protected by bespoke legislation and corrupt government oversight.
This report presents evidence that raises serious questions about Tillis’s conduct and financial transparency with regard to:• Verifiable property records linking Tillis family entities to concealed or underreported assets • Multiple examples of $0 property transfers between corporate and family-controlled interests • Omitted financial disclosures in violation of the Ethics in Government Act • Potential misuse of nonprofit resources and commingled addresses with real estate operations
These findings are based on public records filed with the IRS, North Carolina’s Secretary of State, the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, and other official, government-controlled property databases. The documents cited here are verifiable and evidence of obfuscation speaks for itself.
Correcting the Initial Claim Unmasked a Bigger Problem at 5508 Enslow Place
The most confounding example in this investigation remains 5508 Enslow Place. Initially, I reported that Senator Tillis personally acquired and sold this property. That claim was incorrect — in 2008, Thom "Rick” Tillis and his wife Terry quitclaimed the property to their family-controlled LLC, TRT Holdings. Five years later, in 2013, TRT Holdings sold the property to Theresa L. Baker, a woman from Connecticut who had recently relocated to North Carolina. The sale price was $55,000, and the transaction was executed via a warranty deed — suggesting a conventional, arms-length sale on paper.It was after the sale where the deeply suspicious activity began. Baker died just three years later in 2016, and as of 2025, her name remains on the deed. The mortgage was quietly maintained for seven years after her death and only satisfied in 2023, with no recorded transfer of ownership or probate proceeding — a pattern that raises far more questions than the sale itself. Theresa Baker may not have known much about real estate law or deed classifications. From her point of view, she was buying a modest home for a good price from a real estate company. On paper, the use of a warranty deed suggested a conventional, protected transaction — but the circumstances that followed raise the possibility that she was merely a placeholder in a much broader scheme.
Baker died of cancer in 2016, just three years later. As of 2025, her name is still on the deed. The mortgage, originally taken out in her name, continued to be paid for seven years after her death, and was satisfied only recently — in 2023. No deed has been filed transferring ownership, no probate appears to have been opened, and no heirs have claimed the property.
These facts are not just strange. They point to the deliberate retention of a property in a dead woman’s name, while the home continues to be financially maintained and legally obscured. One possible explanation is that this was a planned placeholder title, allowing the true controllers of the property to remain invisible.
In April 2025, Senator Tillis co-sponsored S. 1334, a bill to raise the asset threshold for taxable Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries. This legislative development sharpens the strategic picture and introduces a new layer of possible intent, opening the door for the Tillis family to roll "parked” assets — like those once held by TRT Holdings — into a REIT structure with preferential tax treatment and reduced disclosure obligations. In that light, Theresa Baker wasn’t just a buyer — she may have been an unwitting participant in a larger scheme to keep assets off Tillis’s disclosure forms and IRS visibility until they could be sanitized, bundled, and monetized.What Makes This Legally Abnormal?
• Quitclaim deeds are rarely used in arms-length transactions between unrelated parties—yet one was used here. • Title remained in the deceased buyer’s name for nine years—anomalous under standard probate practice. • A mortgage remained active in her name for seven years after her death and was then quietly satisfied—without any transfer of title. • The property was originally sold by TRT Holdings, a Tillis family-run LLC, which shared its address with a nonprofit founded by Susan Tillis. • TRT Holdings was dissolved just five weeks before Theresa Baker’s death, raising questions about whether this was done to avoid potential entanglements with her estate.
These factors raise serious red flags. While not direct evidence of criminal conduct, the structure and timing resemble common patterns used to conceal beneficial ownership and circumvent both tax and ethics disclosure requirements.

So the white smoke curdled up from the chimney over St. Peters, and it came in a surprisingly vivid shape of a middle finger. But we have a new Pope, just after a few cursory votes. I wanted to write about this before now but time was breathing a bit heavily on me. So here are my thoughts.
First, it was always said there would never be an American Pope because the Church feared the political ramifications; the Papacy was to be in the hands of someone from a downtrodden nation, or at least from one that has no real political or military or economic power. That way the Church seemd universal, not just a tool of the wealthy and powerful nations. But for some strange reason the College of Cardinals, most of whom were appointed by the dearly departed Pope Francis the Heretic, chose to break with this and chose an AMERICAN. That was no accident, nor was the breakneck speed of the Conclave that chose him.
As everyone knows the College of Cardinals chose Robert Prevost to be the new Pope - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost is originally from Chicago and spent nine years serving in my hometown of St. Louis before going to Peru (where he has dual citizenship) and then on to the Vatican, where he served first as the guy who chose Bishops, then was made a cardinal by Pope Frances just a year and a half ago. Now he's Pope, and as he's only in his late sixties will remain so probably for another twenty years (the Pope gets GREAT mecical care).
He chose the name Leo because he intends to continue the reforms started under Leo XIII, who sat on the chair of St. Peter between 1878 to 1903 andx who sought to "modernize" the Church. Leo was called "the Worker's Pope" because of his encyclical on the Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor and he was notorious for marshalling arguments that came from the communists and socialists, so this new Leo is siignaling his solidarity with the social justice movement that Pope Leo XIII started.
Bear with me; I'm just getting warmed up.
Prevost has repeatedly entered the political fray, attacking Donald Trump and J.D. Vance over American immigration policy and over "social justice" matters (like ending DEI). Even the legacy media admit's he's "a liberal" which means he's pretty radical. You will notice there was nothing but adoration for him on all the legacy media stations after he was announced; nary a complaint could be heard.
So why did the College of Cardinals chose him, an American. To tamper with the American electoral process.
This Pope is going to challenge Trump at every opportunity, I assure you. He's going to condemn the things Trump is doing to save America from collapse. And he is going to intimate that he is infallible and many Catholics who do not understand Church teachings on Papal infallability will think they have to vote against MAGA as their Christian duty.
The fact is Papal infallibility only applies when the Pope is speaking ex cathedra. What that means is he makes a pronouncement on matters of Faith and Morals, not on politics or anything else, and ONLY when the matter is close to being settled. It usually applies when the Church has long taught a specific drictrine anyway. The last time a Pope spoke ex cathedra was Nov. 1, 1950, when Pope Pius XII formally recognized the doctrine of Mary being bodily assumed into Heaven. Two thousand years of arguing over that and only then did the Pope make it unquestionable. All Catholics MUST believe this to be in good standing with the Church.
If the Pope speaks about anything else he's just giving his opinion. But many Catholics don't understand that, and if this guy challenges MaGA and Trump many Catholics will be deceived. It is intended to split Catholicism from Conseravism, plain and simple, and put it at the service of the revolutionaries and socialists.
I predict Leo will attempt to make women priests. I also suspect he will try very hard to end natioal boundaries via unrestrained immigration, and will push for actual gay marriage (as opposed to just blessing gay unions as Francis did - which was an act of heresy. The Bible is quite clear; homosexuality leads to eternal damnation. See So the Pope is blessing a mortal sin, and this guy will simply remove the sin part of it if he gets his way.) See Genesis 9:20–27, Genesis 19:1–11, Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:10 for just a few passages. Practicing homosexuality leads to eternal damnation and it is NOT in the least loving to just excuse it. We needn't be disagreeable or cruel, but it is the duty of the Church to tell people to stop sinning just as it would be the duty of a motorist to tell another motorist the bridge ahead is out and if he hauls down that road he might crash.
Women are not to be priests either - read 1 Timothy 2:12 for example, or Isaiah 3:12 or I Cor. 14 . Jesus chose no women as apostles.
Yet the new Pope Leo XIV seems to embrace all of this.
What this will do is lead to a schism in the Church, with part of it splintering much as the Orthodox did from the Catholics back in the day.
I would add this "inclusivity" is neither Biblicalo nor Christian. Jesus INVITED everyone, but He did not beg them. In fact, He told His apostles "if a town does not receive you shake the dust of that town from your feet and move on". Jesus wanted those who wanted Him, those who would committ. He didn't want luke-warmers. In fact, in the Book of Revelation Jesus addresses the church of Laodecia "You are neither hot nor cold. I wish thou were hot or cold, but as thou art lukewarm I will spew thee from my mouth". Jesus didn't believe in begging for people to follow; He led and they could choose to follow or not.
But that's not what the Chirstian sects have been doing. On the contrary "ecumenism" has been the byword for generations now. Ecumenism essentially means watering down the disparate faiths to promote "unity". Unity is important inside of a religion, but between them it's a bad idea. I would point out the Nazis were ecumenists; most of them believed in Theosophism, which was a religion that sought to amalgamate all world religions. In particular the top brass of the Nazis were members of the Tule Society. Their attempts at the promotion of monism led to the horrors of the holocaust. Unity can be in the service of evii as easily as in the service of good.
And what fruit has all this born? The Protestant churches have been withering and dying for years now as they implemented a woke form of Christianity. It does not inspire, nor does it motivate. The Protestant relgions are essentially dead. Take Anglicanism; many British citizens call themselves Jedi, named after a science fiction franchise. Anglicanism is dying in the United Kingdom and in America along with every other country. Why? Because it no longer means anything. It embraced modernism, all the woke nonsense, and for that God has removed it's infleunce in the world.
The same holds true of many other Protestant faiths.
That's because they refused to take a stand against the rising tide of radicalism across the globe. To many, especially the young, there isn't much value in attending a church that does nothing but talk about being nice. People are inspired by struggle. The early Church grew by leaps and bounds, even while being oppressed. The same holds true in Africa today, or in China. The Church is growing where there is a real cost to being Christian. It's dying in the West because it has become nothing but a social club - a very BORING social club.
But liberals are liberals and the new Pope will double down on what has been killing the Church and the churches. I have no doubt he believes the way to grow the church is to turn her into the world. But St. James said in the Bible "friendship with the world is enmity with God” and "whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” And so he'll try to "modernize" the church, to do "outreach" to "the marginalized" in a vain and pathetic effort to coax them (and their money) into the pews.
What religions are growing in this day and age? Islam, for one. Why? Betcause it makes no bones about it's message and stands firm. While it is a false religion, a series of old Christian heresies, it still is attractive because it offers surety and a solid footing. Modern Christianity does not do that; it is but a whisper in the story sea these days. Of the Christian faiths, the most fundamentalist ones are the ones that are growing. Traditionalist Catholics, Evangelicals, etc. are growing while the standard sects are shrinking. People wnat tradition. The Church has always acted as a conservative force to restrain the passions of the day but now it wants to be a "progressive" force for change. There is nothing progressive about Progressivism; it has all been tried before and found wanting.
But modern science has dazzled the eyes of many, who think we are smarter than our ancestors when in fact they were probably smarter than we - they just lacked the tools we possess. But they had to actually think, a chore most are spared in our modern era. Jut read letters written by our forebearers to see just how much smarter they were than are we.
At any rate the catholic Church has just taken a big leap into the abyss with this fellow. Unless the Holy Spirit takes drastic action, we will see another craven and corrupt papacy doing irreparable harm to society by not standing against the rising tide of antichrist. The Church always believed the false prophet of Revelation would be a Pope. Maybe...
We need a shepherd who will guide the flock, not a man who will comingle them with a pack of wolves.

Just a personal and production update for you, my three or four loyal readers. As you all know my wife had to have surgery for cancer and has been bed-ridden for two months now. She has endured every imaginable problem during her recovery, and it's been slow going. The surgical reconstruction has done well but is healing slowly (and it's where she sits so she has had to lay down for two solid months now.) She stopped eating and it's been a constant struggle to get enough nutition into her. We had fed her intravenously in the hospital but they had to stop that after a week or so. We had a gastric tube put in her and she got much better (she was weak beyond words) but now she is vomiting and has diarrhea and heartburn. They just had to stop the feeding to reassess. The vomiting continued, which makes the nutritionist at the facility where she resides think it's not the feeding tube, although she's not an expert on them and admits it could be. They are trying a different feed based on the recommendation of an internal medicine doctor who is friends with my wife's sister and who himself has been on a feeding tube for ten years. We just started the new regime; hopefully it will work and her stomach problems will subside.
It is, of course, quite difficult to eat while reclined. She can be no higher than thirty degrees.
At any rate there has been a bit of a lull in Cat's health crisis, enough for me to take some time keeping the blog alive. It's been really crazy up to now.
The sad thing is her niece is getting married next month and I know Cathy really wanted to go to the wedding. We had hoped she could go in a wheel chair at least, but it's obvious even that is going to be impossible, or extremely unlikely.
At any rate I thought I owed you all an update on the home front. It will remain hit-or-miss with this blog as I'll post when time permits, but I spend most of my day at the nursing care facility these days. I sure wish they'd get better chairs; threw my back out and it's largely from sitting on the cheap chair in her room. If I had a comfortable recliner (like they have at the hospital) I would sleep there in the afternoon but it's impossible in this kind of chair. (You'd think, given the cost of this place, they'd be able to provide good furniture but they are non-profit so I understand.)
Cathy was lucky getting into this place to begin with; nobody wanted her, given the extend of her problems and how much work she entails for the staff. The upper levels of the staffing is excellent, but the lower portions - the techs - leave a bit to be desired. They can't keep help, which is common in such places. These are essentially McDonalds rejects and would make more money flipping burgers. I've had to do my share of yelling at people; the med-techs are especially bad, often not giving her her medicines. I have THAT largely straightened out when I told the director I considered that neglect. The problems with the meds have largely subsided after my veiled threat (I hate having to do that) but I'm always worried. They had her on way too much of one of her meds, which partially explained her stomach issues. Nobody could figure out who changed the dosage.
Scary stuff.
But overall I'm pleased with her facility. There was absolutely no way I could have cared for her at home.
So please be patient; I'll keep writing if you keep reading. I may just be a bit slow sometimes. Bear with me.
Cheers!

An analysis of the cost of "green energy" to Californians.
Frome Wokespy:
"According to PRI’s analysis, California households will bear significant costs, estimated to be between $17,398 and $20,182 per household, to fund the state’s transition to alternative energy sources between 2025 and 2050.”
The state intends to spend approximately $246.7 billion to construct green energy infrastructure such as solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and charging stations to enable the transition to green energy. It will also use taxpayers’ money to decommission natural gas and nuclear power stations, which are cleaner and more reliable."
I cannot for the life of me understand what's wrong with the people in the Golden State. Is there lead in the water? Maybe it's been leaching into Napa and Sonoma and the wine is tainted?

France is just plain nuts, and most especially emmanuel "Micro-brain" Macron.
French President Macron Asks EU and USA to Drop Sanctions Against Al-Qaeda in Syria [/lin],
I mean, heck; Al Qaeda deserves to make a living too, right?
FTA:
PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron called on the United States and the European Union to lift sanctions against Syria on Wednesday after hosting the Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on his first visit to Europe.
The French leader said Washington should "rush to lift sanctions,” maintain troops in Syria and then review the situation at a later date.
"The interest of all, including of the Americans, is today to act and accompany us in lifting sanctions on the Syrian people,” Macron said at a press conference alongside al-Sharaa.
Al-Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda member, has received a cautious welcome from the international community after his forces toppled brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad late last year.

The German scheme to spy on conservative policical enemies has collapsed after it became known in America and thanks to pressure from the Trump Administration.
The Gestapo/Stasi scheme to use German intelligence to spy on conservatives has led to a backlash against the government, and the new Mertz government is calling off the dogs, promising "heads will roll".
The primary opposition is the Alternative for Germany (AFD) party, which wants to restore sanity to immigration policy and market economics and end the German version of the Green New Deal.
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced the scheme upon her removal from office after the election. She is a member of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the radical leftists who formed part of the coalition govrnment. (The SPD was in power until 1920 and has seen significant decline as the German public has grown increasingly angry at all the Middle Eastern immigrants.)
Mertz is unlikely to pursue criminal charges against Freser or any other high level person involved, but he should.
From the Gateway Punidt article:
These police state tactics are more suited for Russia or Communist China, not Western Europe’s largest country.…
— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) May 7, 2025
"I understand that liberal elites on both sides of the Atlantic loathe the AfD, but AfD’s platform has resonated with many Germans. Unsurprisingly so, since an agenda of strong borders, energy independence, and economic growth has appealed to our own electorate and may other Western democracies. Rather than trying to undermine the AfD using the tools of authoritarian states, Germany’s incoming government might be better advised to consider why the AfD continues to gain electoral ground and how German’s government can address the reasonable concerns of its citizens,” Cotton wrote.
Due to stringent privacy laws, German intel agencies have their hands tied and largely depend on the NSA for SigInt to prevent terror attacks in their own country.
Now, facing a lawsuit by the AfD, the German "Office for the Protection of the Constitution” (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz – BfV) today announced it will rescind the decision pending legal resolution.
Fortunately the Trump administration told Germany they would stop sharing intel with them if they pulled this little putsch. The Germans may have been sauer, but the Krauts capitulated.
This illustrates that the statist tendencies of Germany are alive and well. And Germany is perhaps the dominant power in the European Union. Is it any wonder the E.U. has become a cesspool of authoritarian thinking?

Britain prepares for war with Russia.
The International elites desperately want this war with the Russians, for reasons that are unclear. I suspect it is to destroy an alternate power block and thus make way for the coming world government. Russia would never submit to the rising tide of globalism and they know it. They are desperate to take the Russians out to remove this obstacle from their long-term plans.
That, at least, is MY view.
But of course they are playing with fire as Russia has the largest and most moder nuclear arsenal in the world. They will use it if necessary.
And if they don't I'm not so sure Europe CAN beat the Russians in a fair fight, despite the fact they have first world technology and more people. Europe is weak and vacillating and hasn't fought a war in many decades, while Russia is now battle-hardened and would be fighting a defensive war in a place n obody has successfully invaded since the Mongols. Good luck with that.
Can you imagine the French or Germans invading Russia? The French would demand a four day week of battle, with a month off in the summer. The Germans are more industrious but still are now basically weaklings who would probably give up after the first tough battle.
And the Brits would make their troops all DEI recruits with lots of women on the front lines, and trannies to boot. Oh, and they'd stop for tea every afternoon.
Good luck with that guys.

This is a novel idea! If it works we will probably see Democrats suing every conservative jurist on the bench, though.
America First Legal Sues Chief Justice Roberts Over Lawfare- "You Can’t Have Your Cake And Eat It Too”
FTA:
Ironically, the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office have honored several "congressional oversight requests” by the far-Left lawmakers to aid them in going after Justices Thomas and Alito.
"When it comes to government transparency, you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” remarked Dan Epstein, America First Legal Vice President.
According to the lawsuit, Sen. Whitehouse and Rep. Johnson have for several years waged lawfare against Supreme Court Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh, and in the process, enjoyed favorable legacy media coverage. Similarly, the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office have acted as the "central levers” for the lawmakers’ persistent lawfare campaign.
"This lawfare has been led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Hank Johnson, relying upon an ideologically favorable legacy media to falsely accuse Justices Thomas and Alito of ethical improprieties. Their aim was simple: to chill the judicial independence of these Supreme Court Justices.”
The lawsuit explains that Whitehouse and Johnson have accused Justice Thomas of "acting willfully to violate the Ethics in Government Act and directed the U.S. Department of Justice to criminally investigate the matter.” Similarly, Sen. Johnson filed an ethics complaint against Justice Alito, accusing him of violating "several canons of judicial ethics.” The justices have been accused by far-left lawmakers of not being forthcoming about their financial relationships.
Meanwhile, AFLF argues that the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office must comply with FOIA requests because they are not part of the judiciary but the executive branch and exercise executive powers, including issuing binding regulations.
"Thus, the Judicial Conference and Administrative Office exercise executive functions and are accordingly subject to FOIA. Accordingly, their refusal to comply with AFL’s FOIA request is unlawful.”
It also argues that the two bodies should be declared "independent agencies within the executive branch” and the President should have the authority to appoint and remove the Judicial Conference’s Presiding Officer and the Director of the Administrative Office."
This is a limited lawsuit over a specific case, but if it is successful it seems to me it will set a precedent and allow other plaintiffs to sue judges for other issues. At least that is how the Democrats will view it. Imagine how many lawsuits will be filed against Clarence Thomas, Or Sam Alito; they would be in court constantly. This isn't a good idea.
But I see now way of stopping this. Granted, if the case moves all the way up to the Supreme Court it's probably going to shoot craps, but still lawsuits aren't always about winning; many times they about harassment and bankrupting the sued person.
We'll see how this plays out.

Here is what Sharia looks like.
Yes, Mayor Eric "Fester" Adams is capitulating to the right of Islam to impose itself on the infidels by broadcasting the call to prayer over loudspeakers in public.
This is how Islam expands; by worming their way into a society, demanding their "rights" to bully and compel, then slowly forcing the populace under their thumbs in obedience to Sharia. In the end the public is nothing more than Dhimmi, non-Muslims subservient to the Muslims. In time most Dhimmi's convert so as to enjoy the benefits of being part of the ruling class.
It all starts with things like this. Adams is a fool to allow it.
