Send this Dog to the Impound!

Timothy Birdnow

Oh? Where was Soda Pop when Joe Biden simply disregarded court orders, such as to stop his student loan forgiveness program? It didn't seem to bother old gray mare back then.

Sotomayor Says Presidents Are Not Monarchs and Must Obey Rulings

Where has she been over sanctuary cities? Where has she been where Immigration law was just disregarded?

Sonia stated:

True, but they also gave the President the power to determine how best to allocate resources and manage the implementation of laws. There is nothing in the Constitution REQUIRING the executive branch to spend money as Congress demands at all times. The President can't raise money of his own but he can sure as hell stop spending money.

In 1803, for instance, Thomas Jefferson saved money when he didn't need all of a $50,000 appropriation for gun boats, for example. And Jefferson was intimately involved with the Constitution, and had Madison there to tell him otherwise (both were Democratic Republicans).History is replete with Presidents refusing to waste money when it has been approved.

What of Joe Biden? He simply refused to build the wall on the Mexican border, even though it was approved by Congress and under construction. We didn't hear a peep out of Sotomayor or any other leftist back then, did we? It was assumed he had the legal authority to not spend the money.

But, but,but... what of The Impoundment Control Act of 1974? Okay, what about it? Congress passed this law (with a veto-proof majority of Democrats) to force Richard Nixon to spend on social programs. But this law is quite explicit, and it requires an exact procedure to compel the President to spend the money. As of yet Congress has not invoked it.

Oh, and Senator Mike Lee has written a bill rescinding the act which has yet to be voted on but has a real chance of passing. Furthermore, it seems like President Trump will challenge it in court and he has a good chance of winning.

That's because the Constitution is quite clear on the President's enumerated powers - he has the authority to decide how federal money will be spent and interpret laws.

The article continues:


They aren't. If you want to get technical the courts never had the authority of judicial review in the Constitution; they granted it to themselves in the case of Marbury v. Madison and have held it ever since.

But most certainly when the President is lawfully executing his duties as enumerated under the Constitution the courts have no say, or are not supposed to, at any rate.

Sotomayor obviously believes she and her activist ilk on the Supreme Court have the final say in everything and veto power the elected officials. That is not the case and never was. Alexander Hamilton argued the Courts were the weakest branch of government (despite being unelected and having no set term of office) because nobody had to listen to them. Sonia should think long and hard on that.

DOGE and the Reuters Scandal

Timothy Birdnow

Why was Reuters given $9 million to study "study large-scale social deception” by the Pentagram, er, Pentagon in the first place?

While Trump was President then it was the duplicitous James "Mad-dog" Mattis who was running the DOD, the same Mattis who publicly called Trump a "threat to the Constitution" and otherwise publicly smeared his former boss, who fired him, and with good cause.

Now we see what Mattis was doing behind the scenes.

Elon Musk posted on X:

I know; the article argues it was money given to Thompson Reuters and not ReutersNews Service. From the Mediaite article:


This is just a fancy way to make an end-run around things. The fact remains that the Military was handing out money it had no business handing out. And what is "Active Social Engineering Defense (ASED), Large Scale Social Deception (LSD).”?

ASED is about developing technology to "disrupt" what DARPA deems misinformation and social disruption. So what was happening back in 2018? We were seeing something very much like this being employed against people who questioned the Covid protocols and vaccines on social media.

Why name it Large Scale Social Deception (LSD) if you weren't studying - and by extension finding ways to both block and deploy - social deception?

Even the acronym should give us pause - LSD. This brings to mind the social experiments with the CIA and the drug lysergic acid diethylamide, made legendary by Timothy Leary and foisted on a generation of young Americans by the Central Intelligence Agency.

MK Ultra was a project aimed at mind control run by the CIA and it produced some terrible fruit, such as the Unibomber and the brutal Irish gangster Whitey Bulger.

So just the fact of this acronym suggests more than just stopping cyber attacks and disinformation campaigns from foreign entities.

So this may well be worse than giving money to Reuters news service; it was about propaganda and brainwashing of Americans.

Oh, and Elong Musk is not stupid; he knows full well what he's talking about. This article presupposes he is some ignorant clod, an ignorant clod who built spacecraft capable of doing things NASA can't get their equipment to do.

I would add that the Thomson corporation acquired Reuters news service in 2008, so while these are different divisions they are the same company. If you give money to one branch you give it to the corporation itself.

To make the claim it is entirely seperate is dishonest. This is like the difference between George Soros' Tides Foundation and The Open Society; both are tools of Soros and his revolution, just with different names to launder money.

CEO of Thomson Reuters Special Services put out this little load of diaper padding:


"Advancing justice"? He gives himself away here. Advancing justice isn't what anyone hires them to do.

Thomson Reuters commercial agreements may not, perhaps, have any influence over ReutersNews editorial coverage, but it damned well may have influence over Reuter's so-called news covereage. Better to say Reuters News coverage has plenty of influence over TR.

How do you "advance justice" through cyber security? That'swhat the news branch is for.

Of course the media is going to pound this argument into the dust and perhaps a lot of people will buy it. But this contract should never have been issued in the first place. Government has no business researching how to manipulate public opinion.

In a cavern, in a canyon processing retirements in a mine

Timothy Birdnow

Oh good grief!

You Will Not Believe How Feds Process Retirement Papers

Retirements are being processed by hand in a deep mine shaft in Pennsylvania and put in manilla envelopes! Just 700 troglodytes processing papers 200 feet below ground! (It's closer to Hell which no doubt is why they are there.)

Bill to Impeach Trump-blocking Judge

Timothy Birdnow

Now the GOP is getting it!

Eli Crane to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Judge Blocking DOGE Audit of Treasury Payments

People need to start investigating these clowns, digging in their trash and examining their financial records and whatnot. They've been doing that to our guys for decades and we have never responded out of fear of "escalation" but after what they did to Trump they simply cannot escalate it further. We need Mutual Assured Destruction.

This should also teach us a lesson about not just rolling over when a Democrat wants to appoint some activist to the courts. Republicans always say "he won so he gets his picks"  and Democrats fight to the bitter end, trotting out bimbos to make wild accusations or whatnot.

Another point to ponder; every time they are forced to defend one of their own they are tying up resources they would use otherwise to launch offensives. Impeaching their judges limits them. They cannot allow our side to remove their pets and so they waste time and resources defending. It's what they have done to us over the years with much success.

Vance's Kinfolk Denied Treatment

Timothy Birdnow

J.D. Vance's kin folk (to use a hillbilly elogy) have had their 12 year old daughter denied transplant surgery because she didn't take the clot shot for religious reasons.

RFK Jr. was just confirmed as head of Health and Human Services. He needs to bring the hammer down on this hospital and the whole corrupt medical establishment.

These hypocrites forgot their Hippocratic oath.

Oh, the NPR article about Kennedy says:

As if this is caused by Americans not getting their children vaccinated for measles when we all know full well it's because of all the illegals now in Texas who came here unvaccinated in the first place. This is just more proof NPR/PBS is an abomination funded by taxpayers and needs to be defunded as soon as possible.

The Milk of Liberal Blindness

Timothy Birdnow

There has been an ongoing fight over what Americans can and should eat and how it can be produced and this has huge implications for society and for our individual liberty. Do we, as a people, decide what we are collectively allowed to eat, or is that an individual choice? It's a major issue because the food is an absolute necessity and controlling the production of food, and the distribution of food, gives you control of the populace. Limit people in what they eat and you control them.

I've mentioned before the concept of the hydraulic empire. A hydraulic empire was a river valley civilization where the flow of water was under the control of the emperor or king or pharoah. Egypt, Mesopotamia, and China are three examples. They are always despotic, usually totalitarian. Anyone who doesn't obey gets the water shut off. Even if there is enough water to drink there won't be enough water for crops - the end result is an artificial famine. Nobody rebelled against a hydraulic empire.

The modern Left is attempting to create a hydraulic empire in the West, using health and environmental regulations to accomplish it. By restricting energy, for instance, they plan to squeeze people into the mold they have chosen. And by regulating food "for our safety" they will do likewise.

Which brings us to the matter of food choice and raw milk. A recent court case sided with an Amish farmer over his right to sell raw milk (milk that has not been pasteurized) across state lines.

Now, I wouldn't buy raw milk at all, and especially something shipped across state lines as it probably hasn't been kept at the proper temperature. But do Americans have a right to choose what they will eat or not?

No, according to liberals. The Heritage Foundation chronicles some of their efforts to forcibly impose a diet of their choice on Americans. There have been a number of court cases where judges sided with the FDA and other agencies against Americans' right to eat what they wish. SCOTUS weighed in on it, restricting some of their power to tamper with the American diet, but only to a point.

In a discussion about the constitutionality of Obamacare the late great Antonin Scalia had this to say:

Of course this argument did not prevail at SCOTUS but it illustrates what happens when government intervenes in the private market.

What is ignored here is the most fundamental of things - the Constitution of the United States. And of that the Bill of Rights, of which the 9th Amendment states:


And just to make doubly sure everyone got the point there was the Tenth Amendment which states:


Nowhere is the right to regulate what people eat or drink granted anywhere in the Constitution. It is assumed via the elastic clause (also known as the "necessary and proper clause") which says Congress may make laws "necessary and proper" to good governance. BUT the Ninth and Tenth are AMENDMENTS which means they supersede the elastic clause, as surely as the 16th Amendment supersedes the constitutional limits on taxation in the original document, or the 17th supersedes the original election scheme making Senators appointed rather than elected.

And every layer of regulation adds to the cost of doing business. There is a reason why American farmers are becoming an endangered species and corporations are now running the production of food. Once the farmer is gone and it's all corporate farming they own us.

So this is a welcome development. I favor a regulation where farms have to provide a warning, much like tobacco producers do. But we have a right to eat what we want. Last I checked this is still America.

Here is my essay from around 2004 at American Thinker over food freedom and the Left's weaponization of it. (It's dated 2007 because that's when AT updated the site.)

Time to Leave Neverland

Timothy Birdnow

Mentally ill trannies threaten and badger

There were endless claims of "I don't feel safe" and claims that men in women's clothes are somehow being slaughtered (they aren't) but there were also not so veiled threats:

"If you say that you're afraid of Trump — and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people — you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space!"

Said one powderpuff to the Worcester city council before the vote.

Why wasn't this dude (and I will "mislabel their gender" freely - they are the ones doing the mislabeling) arrested for making threats against the council and the residents of the city?

It's utterly astonishing how the Left has managed to get these key phrases to employ so much power over the liberal mind; "I'm not SAFE" "don't MISLABEL me!" "this is not a safe space!" "we need to prioritize over BIGOTRY AND HATE!" Just a few key buzz words, the kind used by children in grammar schools, and this parliament of dunces folds like an accordian.

I remember what they taught in grammar school "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". That was how children were taught in times gone-by. Now they are put in "safe spaces" and hidden from any adversity and think it an civil right.

We have raised a generation of eternal babies, and the fact they choose their own "gender" is proof of the insanity that comes with not growing up.

Another quote from a hissy fit tranny:

Uh, can He/She/it tell me how many of it's friends have died from violence because they were perverts? Zip, zero, nada, the null set. But many of it's friends have caused the deaths of normal children and people - look at the Nashville shooting, for instance. This is a shibboleth designed to provoke sympathy where none is warranted.

I am mindful of Peter Pan, the novel by J.M. Barrie and not the Disney movie. Pan is in many ways the villain in the original story. His unwillingness to grow up leads him to remain in Neverland, and he traps others there as well, in a state of perpetual childhood. There is no growth, no acquisition of wisdom of knowledge, nothing real or serious. It's an eternal death, a death by stasis. While Pan is not evil he is trapped and seeks to trap others with him so he won't be alone. (Wendy is wise enough to discover this and leave Neverland.) Just the name should speak volumes; Pan was a variation of the god Dionysius, the god of wine and disorder and mental clouding. Pan was the god of wild things. He was the god of shepherds and flocks. He consorted with nymphs and other convivial fairy-like creatures.

The point is Pan was trapped by his immaturity as are most liberals, especially the LGBTQ and most especially the T. Gender dysphoria is generally an affliction of the young, who grow out of it if allowed to mature properly. But now we are freezing them in stasis, in Neverland, as children. They are not growing, not learning,not becoming who they were meant to be. Like Peter Pan they are forever children in a world that does not bend to their will. The end result is they suffer terribly, and they are very angry because they know in their heart of hearts it's all just a game.

Anomie ensues. The Encyclopedia Brittanica defines Anomie as:


That is exactly what is happening with these individuals. They have rejected reality for an abhorrent desire that is encouraged by a society that itself has gone batcrap crazy. They are foot soldiers in the Left's war on normalcy and the Judeop-Christian ethic, and they are being sacrificed. Of course they don't realize it and instead believe (because they have been told to do so) that it's societal bigotry that is the root of all their problems, not their own unwillingness to face reality and grow up.

Leftism is chock-full of anomie of all sorts stemming from this very thing. It is rooted in a celebration of carnality and lusts and willful pride and while it offers excitement and amusement it, in the end, winds up preventing the leftist from growing up, growing into the person they were intended to be.

There was an Andy Griffith episode where Andy Taylor told a hobo exactly what is wrong with transgenderism and liberalism. The hobo asked Andy why he couldn't just let Opie decide for himself about things. Andy said:


Common folksy wisdom that utterly destroys the argument for transgenderism for the children. (I'll admit I didn't come up with this last; read it at Revolver or some such, but I remember the episode.)

Children have to be taught, and in fact want to be taught even if they protest at the time. Children are animals, as indeed are we all; it takes discipline and guidance to learn to control your base animal instincts. Take a child and isolate him and you wind up with an animal. We know this from feral children who are raised by wolves or other animals; they are more animal than person and usually cannot adjust to civilization. You have to be taught to find your higher self.

Which is what Peter Pand didn't want, and he was eternally a child for it. And it's what liberals want, most especially in this gender business. Animals get caught in traps or slaughtered or eaten by other animals. Basically in the end the same holds true for children not taught to be men or women.

So this city council just acquiesced to letting children act out. I am sure most of the members think they are good people, letting the insane pretend. But in the end real love would be to tell them it's not real, it's a fantasy and it's time to leave Neverland.

Yep - Obama's Third Term

Timothy Birdnow

Lindi Li, a former top Democratic fundraiser, admitted that Obama was running the Biden Presidency while the senile Joe acted as figurehead.

Speaking on The Shawn Ryan Show Li, when pressed, admitted Biden was not in charge. Ryan thought it was Cherokee Lizzy Warren, perhaps, but Li confirmed it was Obama.

Ryan said:

"A lot of people say it was Obama’s third term. There’s rumors of… And these aren’t even… These are friends of mine that are moderate Democrats, say that they thought it was Elizabeth Warren running it. They thought it was Bernie Sanders running it,”

and Li replied:

"It was for sure Obama’s third term. I don’t think that’s even a question,” "That’s why you saw Obama fighting for his dear life. Why was he fighting so hard in the fall? Because he was fighting for his fourth term. He was fighting for his own legacy,”

She pointed to Anita Dunn and Biden's Chief of Staff Ron Klein as holdovers from Obama who were actually doing the dialy work of breaking America.

The French Deception

Timothy Birdnow

David French, the National Review RINO who so despises Donald Trump and MAGA waxes poetic about the evils of "populism"

From the op-ed:

That is either a lie or French is just plain dumb (to quote a game at Cracker Barrel); there has not been an effort to UNDERSTAND the current populism so much as to find a way to attack it. The Democrats and elitists Republicans STILL believe supporters of Trump are mind-numbed robots, intellectual slaves of a svengali. They don't understand that the reason they support Trump is because Trump supports THEM, cares about what they want and tries to restore an America they knew and loved. It has nothing to do with oratory, or with slick packaging, and everything to do with Trump being genuine, speaking like they do and promoting what they want and at least trying to honor his campaign promises.

French has to know this yet he lies and says there have been efforts to understand MAGA. There have been no efforts to understand it, just ways of trying to find weaknesses to exploit.

He continues:


Yet French provides no real proof  of  this assertion.

In fact he does not provide a definition of populism at all; it means essentially to oppose him and his cronies, nothing more.

There have been multiple, highly successful populist movements in America. The Revolution was one such. (Yes, the elites were heavily involved but the movement had deep roots in populist discontent.) Antislavery was a populist movement. Wommen's suffrage was a populist movement. so was Civil Rights. The Jacksonian era was entirely a populist movement. How was the West settled? It wasn't by scholars and bankers; it was a populist movement.

In point of fact "populism" is sneered as a pejorative but it is, in essence, a democratic movement. It used to be called "people power", the idea that the public should have a say in it's own governance and the country ultimately belongs to the silent majority as Richard Nixon called it, the "great unwashed". What French is supporting is oligarchy, rule by an unelected junta of the intelligentsia. This is as old as Mankind; there have always been intellectual snobs who believed they were superior by birth and upbringing and education and have a divine right to rule. French would be a Loyalist if this were during the Revolution; can't have those rowdy ignorant rubes running things! Only the aristocracy is fit to govern and that means His Majesty!

French continues:


"Populism" in the post Civil War South was a response to reconstruction and French should understand that. The peopleof the South were disenfranchised and had very unpopular policies shoved down their throats by the victorious North. Furthermore, they had carpet-baggers coming in to feast on the carcass of the dead South. You can call it "populism" or you can call it anger against exploitation. But to use the South as an example of populism is dishonest; there were a great many things going on at that time and Southern anger would have been in place even if the antebellum aristocracy had survived. Of course it hadn't, and so was replaced by the low-born - that hardly equates to "populism".

French actually goes on to quote the radical leftist rag The American Prospect as if it were somehow proper source material!

He says:


There is no proof of that first statement. What often happens is there IS passion, but that is the cornerstone of politics and always has been. Nobody charges guns for DEI; they say "remember the Maine" as they charge them. Passion has always been at the root of politics; it's how you get committed workers, how you get people to turn out to vote. The Left has been full of passion for 150 years now. There is nothing wrong with passion, nor is that the hallmark of the ill-defined "populism" of which French is so horrified.

As to the latter statement, this anger came well before the "Great Recession" and many of us have been cheesed off since the first Bush Administration. It's been a long time coming. And it is rooted in bad governmental policies, policies that have embedded themselves in our government adn seem almost impossible to root out. NAFTA, for instance, was not popular but was shoved down America's throats and led to the decline in manufacturing and making things - in favor of a "serive economy" which paid far less and had worse hours and just sucked more. Anger has been mounting against that for a long time. And against this internationalism. We want our incandenscent light bulbs. We want our SUV's - just as we wanted our station wagons before them (which clowns like French took away from us.) We don't want men in women's restrooms, or Pride days, or open borders. We want the America we knew.

French sees that as "passion" and thinks it's terrible; we should shut up and let people like him run things "for our own good". It has become passion, yes,but because it has NOT been for our own good but for the good of the ruling oligarchs and their friends, who have made huge sums of money out of it.

We see the truth; America is walking down the same path as did the Roman Empire. Rome had all our problems, and people who advocated for these same sorts of policies. They had an ever-widening gap between rich and poor. They had the declne of yeoman farmers, with farming moving to North Africa and farmers forfeiting their land to bankers. They had big welfare programs. They had an unsecure border with illegal aliens pouring in, displacing the Roman citizens. They had the decline of the old political order and the empowerment of the Senate and the Emperoro. They had high inflation and high spending and a huge bureaucracy bossing everyone around. Education suffererd and little by little the Romans forgot how to keep their civilization running. When Odoacer seized power and sent the trappings of the Emperor back to Constantinople the empire was dead and nobody really cared because it had stopped being of any value. That is where we are nearly at today in America.

It's not about a bunch of angry, excited hillbillies but about people who rightly see their country slipping away.


Oh? None of us are especially angry right now David! Quite the opposite.

No change happens without passion dude.

So if this is populism, why haven't the Democrats, who are nothing BUT rage and passion, populists? Was Rush Limbaugh a populist? He was frequently angry,but he was also full of good humor as often is Donald J. Trump.

French ignores his own anger and passion. His hatred of Trump oozes out of his every pore. Does that make French a populist?


Uh, Trump didn't say coastal real estate development would solve all the problems there, did he? This is ignoratio elenchi, a straw man fallacy. What French ignores is that nobody has ever even TRIEd any differnt approaches to the Middle East, and we have actually funded both sides for half a century or more. The public is sick of it and wants there to be an honest attempt to solve the problem. Elites like French don't like to solve problems,but to dwell on how hard they are and how smart they are in supporting the process. It's all process to them.

Midwest manufacturing jobs were indeed dropping off prior to NAFTA,but why? Bad government policy created by the same people French is protecting. Democrats climbed in bed with labor unions, who fleeced the industries they were engaged with, for instance. Then companies started outsourcing overseas and the government made that easy. Had the government stayed out of it that wouldn't have happened; the unions would have realized they could not afford to push the companies into bankruptcy. But it wasn't just the unions, excessive regulations from multiple government agencies, OSHA, the EPA, the Department of Energy, etc. drove the cost of manufacturing way up. These were policies fromt he elites. Then when they didn't work the elites outsourced the manufacturing and put countless Americans out of work. You're damned right it didn't start with NaFTA, but it was ALL the fault of big government and the elites who suckle at the boated teat of Auntie Samantha (Uncle sam got a sex change.)

I could continue dissecting French but the point is made; he's a braying jackass who is projecting his own hatred and rage onto his enemies - the American People. I was sore tempted to use the line Joe Pesci made to the jury in My Cousin Vinny "everything that guy said was bullshit...thank you". But since French sees himself as some enlightened rationalist I thought it wise to demolish his pseudo-arguments. The fact is he doesn't have a leg to stand on. He really cannot even define the term populist, so how can he argue about how bad it is? All he can do is spew his own hatred and insecurities.

MAGA isn't just angry, although it is angry because we are seeing our country being stolen from us. But what MAGA wants is accountability and new policies. The elites have ruined the country, and their policies have been horribly destructive and self-serving. Americans are just fed up. French wants us to continue with the same failed approach, like the coach of the Chiefs kept trying the same plays during the last Superbowl and his team was obliterated. That's where America is at now and French and his friends want to double down on the bad play calling. As Einstein said, insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Nice try David! You keep pushing for the same thing over and over!

Judge Blocks NIH Cuts

Timothy Birdnow

Another Biden appointed Judge screws over Trump's efforts[/lin], this time by demanding the NationalInstitute of Health pay universities the big bucks Joe Biden promised them.

The NIH tried to cut back on research grants, paying no more than 15% for facilities and administrative fees. A slew of Blue State colleges sued in Massachussetts and activist judge Devil Angel Kelly issued the order stopping prudent fiscal management at NIH.

We have to find a way to force these partisan jurists out.

Maybe we should just end ALL National Institute of Health funding, period!

Appelate Court Continues DOGE Ban

Timothy Birdnow

A New York appeals court judge has temporarilyupheld a lower court ban on DOGe accessing Treasury Department records. There will be a hearing on Friday to determine if the ban remains in place permanently.

Judge Jeannette A. (Scutt) Vargas issued the ruling from her swank Manhattan courtroom after Democrats argued that DOGE are political appointees, not "trained" to handle such big information as government bureaucrats with their gigantic brains are capable of interpreting.

I'd like somebody to tell me how Democrat AG's had standing in this case in the first place. I'd also like to know how it wound up in a Manhattan court.

Lawyers for the Department of Justice argued the ban was unconstitutional as the Treasury Department works for the President and as such is subject to audity by people he appointed.

I have little doubt this activist judge will make the ban permanent, triggering an appeal to a higher court.

When the Constitution was being debated one of the big sticking points was the judiciary; the anti-federalists worried about it's potential for tyranny as the judges were not elected but selected and had lifetime tenure. The federalists scoffed at that; Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers that the courts were the weakest branch of the three and only could issue judgments. They had no money of their own and had no enforcement powers, so were no threat, he argued. Hamilton could not imagine Congress surrendering their power to the courts as a way to avoid political embarassment and let others do the dirty work, nor could he imagine the kind of hyper-partisanship which makes the President impotent in disregarding the courts rulings (which Hamilton himself argued the President could do). The courts have been filled with activists. The Founders didn't think that would happen. (Of course they didn't think taht would happen in the Senate either, but the direct election of Senators via the 17th Amendment which turned the Senate into a purely partisan body,just another version of the House.) Andrew Jackson told the Supreme Court to stuff it, saying about Worcester v. Georgia (1832) "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!".Wor But the matter never came to a head and so Jackson did not face impeachment for refusing to enforce a Supreme Court decision. (Worcester v. Georgia was a case where SCOTUS ruled Cherokee land was sovereign and not subject to the laws of Georgia. Worcester was arrested for living on Cherokee land without a Georgia permit and his appeal argued the law was unconstitutional because Indians were sovereign and not subject to the laws of the states. He won and Jackson said he would not enforce the ruling on Georgia.Georgia repealed the law and Worcester and his co-defendant accepted pardons.)

At any rate there has never been a mechanism put in place to rein in out-of-control judges. There is impeachment but that is difficult in a hyperpartisan atmosphere, and it is for "high crimes and misdemeanors" anyway and not just being jackasses. So the Demo-Left has exploited the courts for generations, getting what they want without actually appealing to the will of the People nor using the political process. Roe v. Wade was a prime example. So too is gay marriage.

And the Democrats always file in jurisdictions that will favor them, as well as jurisdictions where the appeals will end up favoring them as well. It's insane; a low level judge can stop the President with a signature, and all we can do is appeal it to another corrupt judge.

We should end lifetime appointments of judges, or at least impose a retention process on them. There must be a way to remove activists from the courts. But then Congress would actually have to do something, stick their necks out. I doubt it will ever happen.

Radical Judge Orders Restoration of Government Webpages about Transgenderism

Timothy Birdnow

The Empire strikes back - again.

Lefttist Judge orders HHS, CDC, FDA, to Restore Deleted Webpages on transgender health Information

There is no way this can be arrived at through any form of legal reasoning. There is no "right" to information on cutting off your son's wedding tackle, and these agencies are under the auspices of the Executive branch.

Apooplexy Over Trump

Timothy Birdnow

A Democrat suffers apoplexy while railing against Trump.

Yes, the man actually suffered apoplexy from his conniption (I never thought I'd use both those words in the same sentence about a politician.) He was rendered speechless out of rage at Donald Trump.

Larson simply froze up and could not speak until his time expired.

That's how much they hate Donald Trump.

USAID Money Laundering

Timothy Birdnow

Arizona State University and the University of Arizona were both receiving hundreds of millions in grants from USAID to fund climate change alarmism overseas, according to Rachel Alexander at the Arizona Sun Times.

From Rachel:

Why is an organization dedicated to FOREIGN AID giving money to American universities to promote climate change alarmism overseas? Now we know how the Democrats laundered money via USAID.
