Driscoll at Insty sees GREAT MOMENTS IN ASTROTURFING: Ian Miles Cheong@stillgray, "Libs are making fake MAGA accounts to post about how they’re disappointed with Trump.

Collin Rugg@CollinRugg, "Newly released JFK files tell a story about how Gary Underhill, who worked for the CIA, was found dead after he revealed to friends that the CIA was responsible for JFK’s assassination. “The day after the assassination, Gary Underhill left Washington in a hurry. Late in the evening he showed up at the home of friends in New Jersey. He was very agitated.” “A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, he confided, and he was afraid for his life and probably would have to leave the country.” “Less than six months later Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it suicide.” It could be a coincidence, but . . .

Did she hit President Trump in the face on purpose?"

JENNINGS: “What's going on with a guy who helps our country, who runs successful companies, who doesn't have to be doing this. And now one of his companies is under systematic terroristic threats and violence all over the country. And people seem to be laughing about it or fine with it." "It's outrageous. I've sat at this table and had people say we should cut Elon Musk from the government totally. He rescued our astronauts today. Is that what we want? The treatment of this guy is outrageous. These people who are doing this need to be found, put in jail and made an example of. That's my point." . . ." From Driscoll at Insty, a METAPHOR ALERT: Artist Crushes Tesla With Colossal Olmec Head Sculpture. If he, or a benefactor paid for it, no problem.

Adam Schiff Fires BACK at Trump Over Tweet VOIDING His J6 Pardon and WOW, That Was DUMB. Ace, Trump Looks to Remove Hunter Biden's Secret Service Protection. "Trump knows that any Democrat would do this to himself and his family. For crying out loud, Biden refused him Secret Service protection for as long as he could when Trump was the frontrunning candidate for president. And then he took protection away from Trump to task it with protecting Jill Biden who, we can now say, is not a doctor at all." Jerry Dunleavy at JTN reports Hunter Biden whistleblowers get promoted by Trump after Biden-era retaliation "The IRS agents who blew the whistle on the Biden administration's slow-walking of the federal investigation into Hunter Biden say they have been repeatedly retaliated against by their superiors.

Mark Tapscott at Insty, sees VINDICATION FOR TWO IRS WHISTLEBLOWERS: "They blew the whistle on how the IRS and Justice Department were taking care of Hunter Biden. Their reward? Isolation, denigration, defamation, and much more, all of it debilitating. But now these two brave guys are being promoted to positions that enable them to have a major say in the reorganization of the tax agency. It’s a step toward justice."

John Sexton at Hat Hair hears The Progressive Base Wants Chuck Schumer Gone. Mark Tapscott reports CHUCK SCHUMER CENSORED: "Will his experience of being roundly denounced for not shutting down the federal government result in the Senate Minority Leader reconsidering his previous enthusiasm for the Left’s cancel culture? Richard Pollock takes a look and notes Schumer blocked Senate consideration of the Antisemitism Awareness Act passed by the House of Representatives." VodkaPundit at Insty says THIS IS SOLID ADVICE, DEMS. PLEASE HEED IT: Bonchie @bonchieredstate "Don Lemon saying that Democrats should put Jasmine Crockett, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Eric Swalwell “out there” because that’s who “the people want” may be the most insane thing I’ve ever heard a media personality say. Just wild." Dave Catron at Am Spec asserts The Democratic Party Is Collapsing. "It is so consumed by TDS that there is literally no room left for any positive policy agenda." The Great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great wonders What Are the Left’s Solutions for the Problems They Created? "The U.S. faces mounting trade deficits, immigration crises, and endless foreign wars, while critics of Trump's policies offer no viable alternatives to Biden-era failures." They don't want solutions, they want power. Nicholas Fondacaro@NickFondacaro, "Whoopi admits ABC News's The View are part of the Democratic Party: "I don't know if you can wait for somebody to step up and lead the party. [Tim Walz] is not wrong when he says the party is us and what are we going -- what are we prepared to do?""


At NewsMax, Trump Battles Judiciary Unafraid. Jay Town @JayTownAlabama," Did President Trump's Administration defy a judge's order to keep Venezuelans in the U.S.? Did Judge #Boasberg have the authority to issue such an order? Same answer to both questions. A thread:" At Althouse, "Just hours after President Trump called for the impeachment of a judge who sought to pause the removal of more than 200 migrants to El Salvador, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. issued a rare public statement." "'For more than two centuries,' the chief justice said, 'it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.' Mr. Trump had called the judge, James E. Boasberg, a 'Radical Left Lunatic' in a social media post and said he should be impeached." Wake Up America @_wake_up_USA, BREAKING: Rep. Lauren Boebert announces that she will support an Impeachment resolution against Judge James Boasberg. Do you approve?" Sundance is happy President Trump Goes Scorched Earth on Judge Boasberg, Chief Justice John Roberts Defends Boasberg. Mollie @MZHemingway "You owe it to yourself to watch this. Excellent job by @StephenM explaining the issues, albeit to someone who seems to have trouble understanding them." Quote, Buck Sexton @BuckSexton, "Among the greatest debate ass kickings of all time at CNN, courtesy of @StephenM." Althouse is less enthralled, "There's a term in law: justiciable. This is not justiciable." "Stephen Miller instructs Kasie Hunt:" LifeZette reports a Soros-Linked Legal Firm is Behind Lawsuit to Block Trump’s Deportation of Illegal Alien Gang Members. Matt Vespa thinks Chief Justice Roberts Should've Kept His Mouth Shut. Scott McKay at Am Spec, This Mess Is of Your Own Making, Chief Justice Roberts. "Nobody voted for judicial supremacy, and it certainly wasn’t the Founder Fathers’ intent." Sean Davis @seanmdav "If John Roberts is going to spend his time issuing impotent press releases against Trump, as if he’s an MSNBC host or a Democrat congressional candidate, instead of doing his actual job of protecting the rule of law from lawless inferior court judges, then he is going to end up doing far more damage to the Court than anything a lone politician is capable of. All of our problems with the judiciary right now stem from a refusal of judges to understand their actual roles in government. James Boasberg is not the president, and John Roberts is not a member of Congress. The sooner they are made to understand this, the better it will be—both for them and the country." Sean Davis @seanmdav, "John Roberts can’t keep his own court’s clerks from illegally releasing decisions—an act that nearly led to the assassination of two of his own colleagues—but he’s going to lecture Trump on what he can and can’t post on Truth Social?" Sean Davis@seanmdav, "LOL. The entire judiciary has apparently decided to light itself on fire while John Roberts stands by mumbling to himself about how he’s protecting the sacred legal guild from Trump tweets." Quote, Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland "Court enters preliminary injunction ordering Trump Administration to keep transgender in military. 1/" Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich, "If Chief Justice Roberts wants to minimize attacks on out of control appointed leftwing district court judges abusing their role and claiming to be able to overrule the elected President of the United States on management details that are clearly within his role as defined by the Constitution and the Federalist Papers then he should intervene and overrule these absurd power grabs. The Chief Justice can defend the Court by overruling bad judges before the Executive and Legislative Branches start acting against them. The burden is on the Chief Justice not the President." A GROK conversation, If you were a federal district judge would you have power to rule on the alien enemies act or as the scotus ruled that the act is not a judicial review able issue? Thoughts: As a federal district judge, I would not have the power to rule on the Alien Enemies Act in the sense of reviewing the president’s determinations under it. The Supreme Court has ruled that the act, specifically the president’s actions pursuant to it, is not a judicially reviewable issue. This conclusion stems from precedent, notably the 1948 case Ludecke v. Watkins, where the Court held that the president’s authority under the Alien Enemies Act to apprehend, restrain, or remove enemy aliens during a declared war is a matter of executive discretion and not subject to judicial review. . . " Insty says OOPS: Western Lensman@WesternLensman, "LEFT: Joe Scarborough declares presidents like Joe Biden never screamed and yelled about ignoring judges. RIGHT: Joe Biden screams and yells about ignoring the Supreme Court."  

Althouse, "Democrats seem to have no ability to stop him... So that leaves the courts, but for the courts to hold Trump accountable, to stop Trump... ""... they need for people to bring lawsuits and matters before them. And the people best equipped to do that are the big law firms in Washington. But if those firms are afraid that if they enter that fight, they could lose all of their business, Trump is then essentially taking one of his biggest adversaries off the playing field.... There are other lawyers who can bring these matters and that are skilled, but the ones with the most horsepower are potentially being sidelined. I've been reporting on this for the past week and a half, and I've learned that the leaders of these law firms have gone back and forth with each other about what to do.... Privately, they will all tell me how horrific they think this is. But publicly, they're saying very little." Said Mike Schmidt, on "How Trump Is Scaring Big Law Firms Into Submission," today's episode of the NYT podcast, "The Daily" (link goes to Podscribe, with full transcript and audio)."


From Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog, Enjoy The World’s Toughest Prison, Tren De Aragua Scumbags "It’s always interesting when two different topics I’ve covered converge in an unexpected way." Charles C. W. Cooke@charlescwcooke "Call me a squish, but I don’t see the problem with this. One group is full of violent, unkempt, semi-literate gang members who are easily drawn into terrorism. And the other is Tren de Aragua." Quote Curtis Houck@CurtisHouck, "Remember those pompous 'CBS Evening News' opens from Norah O'Donnell during the campaign? Tonight's with John Dickerson & Maurice DuBois comparing deported Tren de Aragua members to *Irish immigrants* who faced discrimination in the 19th century is worse . . . " The Pop Times hears Rubio Shuts Down CBS News Host, Crushes Her with These Three Words. Ace, Fort Myers City Council Members Openly Weep and Hold Hands When Asked to Authorize Police Cooperation With ICE, "Before getting to that: Biden low-balled the number of invaders he allowed to swarm into the country. Plot twist. The number of illegal invaders was double what Biden claimed." Mark Tapscott, NO, THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT SANCTION BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: "President Donald Trump’s recent executive order confronted head-on the myth that merely being born within the United States guarantees an individual U.S. citizenship, as Birthright Citizenship advocates claim. Rod Martin lays out a succinct and detailed presentation of the facts of the legal history of citizenship in the U.S. and in doing so makes it quite clear that merely being hatched here doesn’t a U.S. citizen make."
