Flotsam and Jetsam - Comey Puts Out Hit on Trump

The micro-scandal of yesterday was former FBI director James Comey's plea on Twitter for someone to kill Donald Trump, nicely dressed up a something he found on the beach, which he soon deleted and rapidly denied any insight into. Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr, "Just James Comey causally calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented!!!!" 86 is mob speak for 8 miles out and 6 feet under, while 47 refers to Trump's current term. From Fox, Ex-FBI chief Comey’s ‘86 47’ social media post condemned by White House as attempt to put ‘hit’ on president, "'This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously,' White House spokesperson says". John Sexton at Hat Hair, James Comey Wants to '86' President Trump. At Twitchy, BREAKING: James Comey Posts Alleged Call to Murder Trump on Instagram, Then Deletes It (But We Have It). Sundance at CTH, Former FBI Director James Comey Posts Threatening Message About President Trump, Deletes Instagram When Called Out. Driscoll, who's keeping the seat warm while Insty is vacating, has a FLASHBACK: ‘Shorthand for killing someone:’ "Trump campaign disturbed by Gretchen Whitmer displaying ‘8645’ in background for interview. —The Washington Examiner, October 20th, 2020." Sundance at CTH, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Says James Comey Should be “Arrested and Put Behind Bars” for Threatening the Life of President Trump. Karol Markowicz at NYPo reminds us Democrats lit the ‘assassination culture’ fuse — now their silence equals violence. Do I think Comey was really trying to threaten Trump? Probably not, but it's a pretty good excuse to put him on trial. Let the process be the punishment.

Meanwhile, President Trump is still abroad in the Arab states, collecting deals on behalf of the American people. Sundance, of course, has some videos, President Trump Arrival Ceremony in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and President Trump Delivers Remarks to USA Troops at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar. Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon "President Trump gave a momentous, epoch defining speech yesterday in Saudi Arabia, which repudiated both Democratic and Republican foreign policy and paved a new way forward.

The gloom and doom predicted for Trump's tariff policies stubbornly refuses to arrive. From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 05.15.25 (Afternoon Edition) Twitchy, Axios Reports Fears Over Tariffs Killing The Economy “May Be Overblown”, Louder With Crowder: Trump’s Economy Wins Pile Up And The Left Can’t Stand It and Don Surber: Trump triumphs in Saudi Arabia. From Ace, Axios: "Hard Data Suggests Tariff-Driven Inflation and Recession Fears May be Overblown" POLITICO @politico "Trump tariffs have little impact on prices so far, defying grim forecasts." "Who pushed these Grim Forecasts, Politico? If it's the sources you rely on for every DNC press release story-- are you going to apply more skepticism to their claims going forward, or not so much?" Conrad Black at the Brussels Signal, Tariff de-escalation and hints of new world order show Trump’s tactics are working. At Althouse, "And what's interesting here is that even people who are skeptical of Trump's tariffs might be in favor of reining in fast fashion for environmental reasons or because they're against overconsumption." "From today's episode of the NYT "Daily" podcast, "The End of Fast Fashion?" (audio and transcript at Podscribe). I'm happy to see the NYT devoting some attention to the progressive argument in favor of Trump's tariffs on China." Fox sees Trump On the rise: New poll indicates Trump's approval ratings are edging up. "Trade deals with UK and China help improve economic outlook as president's numbers recover from earlier decline." And Fox polls usually underestimate Trump. Da Caller, Plurality Of Swing Voters Support Trump’s China Tariffs, New Poll Reveals. Quantus Insights @QuantusInsights, "April shocker: U.S. Treasury posts $258B surplus — 2nd largest ever. • Tax receipts surged to $850B • Customs duties (Trump tariffs) doubled to record $15.6B • Borrowing needs down $53B this quarter For a gov’t hooked on deficits, this is a rare fiscal win—driven by new trade policy." Hat Hair's Beege Welborn examines The Good and Bad on the Economic Front Today. Kurt Schlichter at TownHall sees When Conservative Theory Collides With Unconservative Reality "But in so many areas, we don’t have a free market. The problem is that many of our co-conservatives demand that we pretend we do. They wish to govern based on that fantasy. Of course, our opponents don’t feel themselves bound to that. They do what’s to their advantage."

Leah Barkoukis at TownHall, Trump Weighs in on the 'Big Case' Before the Supreme Court Today. PJM's Matt Margolis sees Justice Thomas Destroys the Case for Nationwide Injunctions With One Devastating Question "“So we survived until the 1960s without universal injunction?” he asked." Cutie Pavlich at TownHall, Clarence Thomas Sends a Nukes Into the Left's National Injunctions. I expect the court to find someway to split the baby. Townhall.com @townhallcom "THE IRONY! In 2022, Elena Kagan, a LIBERAL Supreme Court justice, says "It CAN'T be right that one District Judge can stop a nationwide policy in it's tracks" OH?! You mean how District Judges have issued 17 nationwide orders stopping Trump's policies in their tracks?" Nice Deb at Am Great hears from a Source: The Fix Is In to Torpedo Trump’s Tariffs in New York Trade Court. "According to the well-placed source, rather than drawing the panel at random, Chief Judge Barnett “fixed” the outcome by selecting three judges whom he knew would “overrule the president” and render his tariffs “null and void.”" From the NYPo ed board, Junk judge John McConnell is helping destroy democracy, just like Hannah Dugan. "US District Judge John McConnell has ordered the reversal of Team Trump’s freeze on certain forms of federal assistance, yet he sat for nearly two decades on the board of a homeless services provider, Crossroads Rhode Island, rising to chair it — and the Crossroads group directly benefited from federal grants via the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the tune of more than $15 million since 2010." Susie Moore at RedState, Judge Who Ordered Admin to Process 12,000 Refugees Tucks Tail After 9th Circuit Corrects Him...Again. "In the latest development, Judge Jamal Whitehead has now rescinded his order setting forth a "compliance framework" for the Trump administration that required them to begin the process of settling roughly 12,000 refugees in a week's time. This comes after the 9th Circuit issued another "clarifying" order essentially rapping Whitehead on the knuckles." From LifeZette, Judge Faces Prison for Helping Illegal Alien, Sen. Josh Hawley Says ‘Good’. MD Kittle at Da Fed hears Delusional Leftists Compare Judge Indicted For Helping Illegal Evade Arrest To Harriet Tubman. To be fair, they were both born in the swamp.

In an explosive new book, Original Sin, White House insiders reveal how Joe Biden’s frailties were hidden from the public." Stephen Kruiser at PJM finds No Comfort in Dems Admitting We Were Right About Biden's Mush Brain. "Being right doesn't erase all that went on leading up to having it be proven. The damage done to the Republic while it was being run by a drooling moron and his commie handlers is going to be difficult to undo. President Trump is doing his best, but the Biden puppet presidency was an absolute wrecking ball." Madeline Leesman at TownHall notices Hakeem Jeffries Was Not Prepared for This Question From CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "Why should voters trust Democrats when it's clear so many in your party went to great lengths to keep Biden's condition hidden from the public?" Magills @magills_ "Former Transportation Secretary Buttigieg has been getting a lot of grief over his failure to recognize President Biden’s mental decline but to be fair to Pete that wasn’t the only train wreck he ignored during his tenure."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Looks at Suspending Habeas for Illegal Aliens

A bit more on the new Pope, before we get on with the business of forgetting him. From Althouse, "Robert Francis Prevost, the Chicago-born cardinal selected on Thursday as the new pope, is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans." ""The pope’s maternal grandparents, both of whom are described as Black or mulatto in various historical records, lived in the city’s Seventh Ward, an area that is traditionally Catholic and a melting pot of people with African, Caribbean and European roots . . . It’s unclear whether the new pope has ever addressed his Creole ancestry in public, and his brother said that the family did not identify as Black...." I dunno, He looks pretty White to me. Vatican News, cited by Hat Hair, Pope Leo XIV Begins His First Homily in English. From Da Mail, Pope Leo XIV 'looked the other way' when confronted with child sex abuse allegations against priest in his Chicago church. Pretty much like schools around the US during the same era.

Prices are down, the stock market has sustained no damage from Liberation Day, a breakthrough trade deal has been made with the UK, Scott Bessent is meeting with China this weekend, and more deals are on the way.

Camryn Kinsey

At Althouse, "The problem with even a 'TINY' tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept..." ""... in order to help the lower and middle income workers, is that the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics would go around screaming, 'Read my lips,' the fabled Quote by George Bush the Elder that is said to have cost him the Election. NO, Ross Perot cost him the Election! In any event, Republicans should probably not do it, but I'm OK if they do!!!" Writes Trump, on Truth Social." From Twitchy a BOOM: Karoline Leavitt Drops a Mic on WH Journos Suggesting Trump's Profiting From His Position. Sara Rose @saras76, "@karolineleavitt slams reporter for eluding Trump is profiting from his position: "I don’t remember these questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was profiting off this office." Mic drop." Also at Twitchy, Breaking: Former White House Official Camryn Kinsey Collapses On-Air on Fox News. Another cheerleader turned politician, not much of a switch. I saw that. Georgia has had several fainting spells down through the years.

From John Sexton at Hat Hair, Stephen Miller: 'Habeas Corpus Can Be Suspended in a Time of Invasion.' “The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Miller told reporters Friday. “So it’s an option we’re actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.” Driscoll at Insty has a GREAT MOMENTIN BRAND RECOGNITION: The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln "Suspending habeas corpus. Let that sink in." Mark Hemingway @Heminator "Nobody tell “The Lincoln Project” which American is most famous for suspending habeas corpus." GW@Whynotgord "@grok what other Presidents have suspended habeas corpus and include if they were democrat or republican." Grok@grok "Historically, two U.S. presidents suspended habeas corpus within the continental United States, both Republicans. - Abraham Lincoln suspended it during the Civil War, first in Maryland in 1861 to secure Union rail lines, later nationwide to manage wartime dissent. His unilateral action was controversial but later ratified by Congress. - Ulysses S. Grant suspended it in 1871 in nine South Carolina counties under the Ku Klux Klan Act to combat racial violence during Reconstruction, with congressional approval." I don't think it's likely.

Why cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars in massive new entitlements? Why swamp the social services of our own poor citizens? Why turn loose half a million criminal aliens and gang members to prey on our own weak and defenseless? Was the idea to alter the demography in one fell swoop?
