Flotsam and Jetsam - DOJ Retroactively Revoked Trump's Security Clearance

But first, at the Bay Journal they get around to noticing the Key Bridge salvage raises concerns about stirring toxic sludge. Of course it will happen, but will it matter with the rest of the toxic sludge that's constantly being resuspended in Baltimore Harbor? 

The Supreme Court heard arguments for and against presidential immunity as a shield from Trump's prosecution from Jack Smith in the J6 case, and by most reports reports it went well for Trump. Althouse highlights 6 quotes from today's oral argument in Trump v. United States. "I listened live and took some handwritten notes, so I could find various things in the transcript. Here are the 6 quotes that made the cut for me. All but one are from the Justices." From Twitchy, Justice Brett Kavanaugh Asks Why Barack Obama Was Never Prosecuted for droning an innocent American citizen. Collin Rugg@CollinRugg, "JUST IN: DOJ lawyer Michael Dreeben says it's perfectly fine for Obama to drone strike innocent civilians while arguing in favor of prosecuting Trump for "election interference." Remarkable." Also at Twitchy, Maybe the Supreme Court Should ‘Take a Walk:’ A Deep Dive Into Thursday’s Oral Arguments, a suggestion that the Supreme Court could stall until after the election to let things sort out. From the Victory Girls, Immunity Case – Ketanji Brown Jackson Not A Genius EitherGreg Price@greg_price11, "Justice Jackson gets embarrassed by Trump lawyer John Sauer when she tries to describe America where the president has immunity: “The regime you've described is the one we've operated under for over 234 years.”" Nicole Silvero at Da Caller, notes Turley Says SCOTUS Could Throw ‘Wrench’ Into Jack Smith’s Case Against Trump.

From Da Fed, Brianna Lyman has The 3 Most Shocking Discoveries Just Unsealed In Trump Classified Docs Case. "1. DOJ Allegedly Threatened Lawyer’s Judicial Nomination . . . 2. White House Allegedly Involved From The Start . . . 3. Trump’s Security Clearance Allegedly Retroactively Revoked . . . Biden’s Department of Energy also allegedly revoked Trump’s security clearance after Smith indicted Trump in June 2023, according to a 2024 motion to compel discovery from Trump’s lawyers posted on X by Kelly."

PJM's Vicky Taft thinks Democrats May Regret Trying Trump in N.Y. Court After His Latest Announcement. A rally at Madison Square Gardens? Jim Antle at Am Con, The Bragg ‘Interference’ Allegations Are Business as Usual "The furore (sic) around the case underlines how vague the concept of “election interference” is." It's illegal election interference for a Republican to try to win. At HE, The Trump prosecutors are still trying to litigate 2016Jack Poso@JackPosobiec "Someone has to say it: The Democrats are putting Trump on trial for 'election fraud' so they can claim the 2016 election was stolen As they have always believed And they have the entire force of the state behind them."

PJM's Matt Margolis want you to WATCH: Roseanne Barr’s Epic Roast of E. Jean Carroll "I would never insult a sexual assault victim,” Barr said in reply to one criticism. "I was talking about E. Jean Carroll."

Hat Hair's KT is teed off that a Watchdog says Biden Administration Used Campaign Slogans in Official Communications. I thought their official communications were campaign slogans. Radar reports President Joe Biden Repeats Claim That He Was Once A Truck Driver, Despite Being Called Out For Fib, but he did drive a school bus for a while. Bob Hoge at RedState thinks it's a Shocker, the NY Times Absolutely Shreds Joe Biden for Hiding From the Media

Virginia Kruta at Da Wire notices Biden Rubs Americans’ Noses In The Fact That He’s Done Nothing On The Border Crisis. Leading Report@LeadingReport, "BREAKING: Nearly half of Democrats would support former President Trump’s plan for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants during his second presidential term, according to a new Axios/Harris poll." TNP reports another Illegal Arrested for Fatal Stabbing at Motel. Dave Strom at Hat Hair VIP, Sanctuary Cities Keep Releasing Sex Offenders to Avoid ICE Detainers.

Dave Harsanyi at Da Fed observes Joe Biden Just Promised America A Massive Tax Hike by threatening to repeal the 'Trump tax cut.' Steve Moore at Am Great explains Why Small Businesses Hate Bidenomics. "If the economy is so good, why do small business leaders feel so bad?" JT Young at Am Spec warns Could the Stock Market Burst Biden’s Bubble? "Bad economic policies may catch up with Biden’s elite supporters just in time for November." Ace, Unexpectedly, Dow Drops Over 600 Unexpected Points After GDP Unexpectedly Flatlines to Unexpectedly Low 1.6%. "Bidenomics, baby!"

At Hat Hair, Trump: Working Class King, College Encampments Crushed!

Tristan Justice at Da Fed, is pissed that After Selling Out GOP Voters On The Border, Mike Johnson Courts Democrats At Columbia University. At TNP Reheem Kassam wonders  What the Fuck is Mike Johnson Doing?  “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” At Da Fed, Shawn Fleetwood reports a North Carolina Democrat Claims County Officials Bribed Voters To Support His Primary Opponent and MD Kittle warns One Word In Your State Constitution Could Open Up Your Elections To Foreign Nationals.

Ace, Of Course: One of LA Soros DA George Gascon's Top Employees -- the Attorney "For Ethics and Integrity Operations" -- Illegally Accessed Police Files on Political Opponents. "How much degradation and brutalization by evil communists can this country withstand?" At CJ, The Deep-State Virus, "A recent book chronicles how critical theorists captured American intelligence agencies."

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair leery as Big Sister Returns: Criticism of My Work Is a Dire Threat to Democracy. At Hat Hair, Stephen A. Smith Forced Into Apology Over Pro-Trump Comments. "ESPN, Disney, or some other rogue actors have gotten ahold of Stephen A. Smith after his comments praising Donald Trump for telling the truth — and now he's been pressured into issuing a groveling apology to appease the powers that be."

Someone, likely George Soros and his get, appear to have decided to make the Isreal/Hamas war the the excuse for this year's long hot summer of protest. I think it's a poor choice, but it's what they have. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair sees Pro-Hamas Protesters Attack NYPD Chief. Nick Arama at RedState has a Wild Video of NYU Protesters Chasing and Surrounding NYPD Shows How Out of Control Things Are Getting. Commissioner Reagan wouldn't allow it. At the Free Bacon, NYU Encampment Organizers Encourage Protesters To Join Pro-Hamas ‘Resistance Network’ "Resistance News Network functions as an unofficial mouthpiece for Hamas and other terrorist organizations." and Lawmakers Ask IRS To Probe Chinese Funding to Anti-Israel Protests  Capt. Ed comments A Hamas network? Wouldn't that make these groups affiliates of a State Dept-listed terror network? One has to wonder why the DoJ and DHS begun to deal with this as a national security/counter-terrorism issue. And for that matter, it sounds like a conspiracy of sorts, too, which would allow prosecutors to use RICO statutes to prosecute everyone involved. Hugh Fitzgerald at Front Page, At Yale, ‘Peaceful Protesters’ Hit Jewish Student in the Face with a Flagpole. Hahvahd Crimson reports Dean Dunne Warns of ‘Disciplinary Consequences’ for Participants in Harvard Encampment. Capt. Ed "Will this be a red line like Minouche Safik's at Columbia?

Bob Graboyes at Bastiat's Window says Columbia Delenda Est, "Destroy one university to salvage the rest." At Campus Reform, PERJURY? Pro-Hamas Columbia prof says he was never fired, claims President Shafik 'lied on the stand' "Pro-Hamas Columbia University Professor Mohamed Abdou says he was never fired and accused the school's president of lying." Capt. Ed, "Well, someone's lying. Congress should immediately subpoena the personnel records to determine who's lying and who's telling the truth. If Shafik lied, then Congress can issue a contempt citation and demand that Merrick Garland prosecute it, as well as a perjury charge. At that point, though ...." Spencer Brown at TownHall, Pro-Hamas Students Set Up Another Camp... but This Jewish Student Isn't Cowering. Hat Hair's KT, Chaos: Pro-Hamas Protesters at Emory University Clash with Police. Sarah Dogon at Front Page, UIUC’s Department of Latino Studies Endorses ‘Jew Hatred.’ “We know a free Palestine is only possible through queer, racial, gender, reproductive, and environmental justice.” From Breitbart, Elite Universities Breed the New Hitler Youth and Netanyahu Blasts Antisemitism on U.S. Campuses: ‘Like Germany in the 1930s’. Ilya Shapiro at CJ says Abolish Anti-Semitic Student Groups. "The government may prohibit even nonviolent “material support” for terrorist organizations, including legal support and other advice, without violating the First Amendment." InstyTOM COTTON IS RIGHT. AGAIN: The Russian word “pogrom” refers to an organized effort to displace Jewish populations from the spaces in which they reside by force. That is precisely what we’ve seen on far too many college campuses since the October 7 attack." At his substack, Insty writes Education Apocalypse Now? "The Ivy League Hits An Iceberg." Finally, from the The Babylon Bee@TheBabylonBee, "Palestine Protester Tries To Argue With Skinhead But They Just Agree On Everything https://buff.ly/40lMpHa."

Mike LaChance at LI is outraged when a MA Middle School Responds to Trans Student’s Threats of Violence With Anti-Bias Training, ‘Empathy’ for the Student. “The district placed a higher priority on the transgender student’s comfort than the safety of 40 other individuals.” Beege Welborn calls it the Face of Farcical Wokeness: Respecting a 16-Year-Old Runaway's Pronouns. Misty Severt at JTN reports DeSantis says Florida will not abide by new Title IX changes aimed at transgender inclusion. "The Department of Education expanded the definition of sex discrimination to include gender identity and pregnancy on Friday, and reinstituted protections for students who have survived sexual assault." The Free Bacon, At 'Women for Sherrod Brown' Event, Progressive Hosts Slam Trump and 'Heteronormal Men'. So, he's queer? From Da Wire, How The Biden Admin Enables Government Employees To Change Genders. "Biden admin publishes guides on how to help workers 'transition,' warns that misgendering could be fireable offense." Kay Hymowitz at CJ discourses on The Pyrrhic Victory of “Gender Identity”. "By obscuring the definition of “women,” the Biden administration’s new Title IX rules undermine the very people whom the law was intended to help."
