Flotsam and Jetsam - 'Maryland Judge' Springs 'Maryland Man'

Susie Moore at RedState reports St. Kilmar Catches a Break - Maryland Judge Orders His Immediate Release. PJM's Cathy Salgado, Judge Orders Criminal Kilmar Abrego Garcia Released AGAIN. Ace, Lowly District Judge Orders "Maryland Man" and Human Trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia Released from Custody, "The judge was appointed by Obama. Weird how the media never points that out. They only note which judges were appointed by Republicans." As long as we're on judges and their foibles, shipwreckedcrew takes on DOJ's "Sand In The Gears" of Judge Boasberg's Planned Hearing To Take Testimony On Alleged Contempt By DHS Sec. Noem. "Including a "mini-lawsplainer" on the odd process of a "criminal contempt" trial -- the late Justice Scalia viewed them as an unconstitutional usurpation of Executive power by the Judicial Branch." Boasberg is out for blood. Mia Cathel at WaEx hears the Wisconsin judge in Trump fake electors case accused of not writing his own ruling, farmed it out to a friend. I guess it's better than letting ChatGPT write it, but it's basically an admission he shouldn't be a judge. OTP says a Milwaukee Jury Picked In Case Of Judge Who Allegedly Helped Illegal Alien Flee. I'm pretty sure she'll get off with the help of jury nullification, but let the process be the punishment. At the Civitas Institute, Josh Blackmun sees “Brazenly Partisan” Judges Scrutinize Trump’s Mind, But Refuse To Explain Themselves. "To paraphrase the Wizard of Oz, pay no attention to the man under the robe." The Manhattan Contrarian is happy to see Humphrey's Executor On The Ropes

John Sexton at Hat Hair horrified Another Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Letitia James. Keep trying. 34 times. 

Sarah Anderson at PJM wonders about The U.S. Seized an Oil Tanker Off the Coast of Venezuela. So, What's Next? Anxious anxiously reports Trump sanctions Maduro's nephews, 6 ships carrying Venezuela oil. Caribbean News Week hears Guyana say oil tanker seized by US was illegally flying its flag. “Today, the Government of the United States of America informed the Guyana Maritime Administration Department that they have encountered the Motor Tanker SKIPPER… It was falsely flying the Guyana Flag, as it is not registered in Guyana.” Don Surber notices Trump's support costs Machado liberal support "Siding with narco terrorists comes natural to Democrats and their media." They're so predictable. RVM, Chuck Schumer Left Unsatisfied After Trying to Bully Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "BREAKING: A furious Chuck Schumer says he's about to STORM up to SecWar Pete Hegseth and "DEMAND" answers about why they're taking out narco-terrorists trying to kill Americans "I plan to CONFRONT Secretary Hegseth on exactly what the HELL is going on in the Caribbean!" "I plan to DEMAND Secretary Hegseth give the total unedited videos of what happened in the September 2 boat strikes!" Democrats are the party of narcos. It's confirmed." Seth Moulton@sethmoulton, "The idea that wreckage from one small boat in a vast ocean is a hazard to marine traffic is patently absurd, and killing survivors is blatantly illegal. Mark my words: It may take some time, but Americans will be prosecuted for this, either as a war crime or outright murder." Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "JUST IN: Tough guy Chuck Schumer STORMS out of briefing with SecWar Pete Hegseth after threatening to "confront" Hegseth on the narco-strikes... ...he came up EMPTY HANDED and is disappointed “OK. It was a VERY unsatisfying briefing. I asked Secretary of Defense Hegseth whether he would let every member of Congress see the unedited videos of the September 2 strike. His answer was, ‘We have to study it.’ Well, in my view, they have studied it long enough!" "Did not get satisfying answers at all!" LMFAO."

Politico whines when Trump thrashes European leaders in wide-ranging interview: ‘I think they’re weak’ "In an interview with POLITICO, the president offered no reassurance to America’s allies about Russia and vowed to reshape their politics." According to TownHall's Kurt Schlichter There’s Nothing Funnier Than Fussy, Furious Euroweenies. Althouse finds "The Trump administration wants to persuade four more countries to leave the European Union to 'Make Europe Great Again'..." "From "Leaked files ‘show US wants to persuade four nations to leave EU’ The countries seen as targets to follow Brexit are Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland, according to leaked details of the US national security strategy" (London Times)." From atop Da Hill, Massie introduces bill to pull US out of NATO, thereby guaranteeing Trump's continued semi-support.

TNP reports the House Passes the Defense Bill: Increased Military Salaries, $800M for Ukraine, $650M for Israel. VodkaPundit at Insty, F-35 Talks With Turkey Could See ‘Breakthrough,’ U.S. Ambassador Says. "“Barrack’s post is the first official signal from the U.S. side that talks about a return to the F-35 project could be underway. Turkish media had previously reported it would be discussed when Erdogan and Trump met in the White House in September. Asked by a reporter if he could revive Turkey’s cancelled F-35 deal shortly after the September meeting, Trump replied: ‘I could do so easily if I want. We may do that. Well, it depends. [Erdoğan’s] going to do something for us.'” Is Erdoğan going to stop playing footsie with the Kremlin? Because that would be nice to see from an ally." Beege Welborn at Hat Hair, says the House is Going to War With the Senate Over Taliban Funding "I'm not sure if you all remember hearing the phrase, something like '$40M a week is still going to the Taliban.' Sounds incredible, right? Like, how could that possibly be?" Giving away money is one thing Congress does really well. Stopping it, not so much. Austin Bay says America Must Close the Rare Earth Gap. They're not so much rare as unfortunately evenly distributed. We have the sources and we must put them to use.

"The list of the states that the DOJ had to sue will surprise no one: California, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington." Now, why would they block voter roll audits? Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, "Within the past hour, Republicans: - Gave Democrats 2 Congressional seats in the 2026 midterms via Indiana - Passed a bill in the House repealing a Trump executive order that reins in the federal bureaucracy and federal unions MANY Republicans JUST WANT TO LOSE 2026." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair hears Trump to Thune: End the Senate Blue Slip And Confirm My Nominees ASAP. Burgess Everett @burgessev, "Thune isn't budging on this -- Republicans used this to block Biden judges and want that ability in the future "A lot of our Republican senators care deeply about having input into this process, particularly when there's a Democrat in the White House ... there are many Republican senators, way more Republican senators, who are interested in preserving that," he says this morning" Quote Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial @TruthTrumpPost, "“Blue Slips” are making it impossible to get great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys approved to serve in any state where there is even a single Democrat Senator. …"

Ace watches CNN: Obama's White House Counsel Routinely Advised and Defended Jeffrey Epstein "Kathy Ruemmler had been a top Obama choice for Attorney General, America's top law enforcement officer, but she withdrew her name when she came under scrutiny. Gee I wonder why." John Sexton, CNN: Obama's White House Counsel Was Chummy with Jeffrey Epstein. She was probably just in it for the money.

Dave Strom likes how Kaitlan Collins Gets Spanked by Karoline Leavitt, figuratively of course, otherwise it would be pay-per-view. Capt. Ed hears Trump On Warner Sale: CNN Vendetur Est. Jarvis @jarvis_best, "My favorite thing ever is when the NYT does a profile on a lib that did something bad and needs an image boost. They always have two pictures: the first has the subject in their house wearing a sweater and looking out a closed window. This creates the impression that they are hiding from a mob and just want to be left alone, and the NYT will run this pic regardless of whether the subject started the fight in the first place. The second picture has the subject walking in a park or a garden looking pensive, as if to suggest that they will bravely push through their fear and ultimately triumph over the bad guys."
