Flotsam and Jetsam - Obama Judge Orders DOGE Shutdown

Let's give top billing to Stacey McCain, Obama Judge Orders DOGE to Stop Telling Us Where Our Money Went, in Manhattan at the instigation of Letitia James:

Judge Halts Access to Treasury Payment Systems by Elon Musk’s Team

A federal judge early Saturday temporarily restricted access by Elon Musk’s government efficiency program to the Treasury Department’s payment and data systems, saying there was a risk of “irreparable harm.”

The Trump administration’s new policy of allowing political appointees and “special government employees” access to these systems, which contain highly sensitive information such as bank details, heightens the risk of leaks and of the systems becoming more vulnerable than before to hacking, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said in an emergency order.

Judge Engelmayer ordered any such official who was granted access to the systems since Jan. 20 to “destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Department’s records and systems.” He also restricted the government from granting access to these categories of officials.

The defendants — President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — should show cause on Feb. 14 before Judge Jeannette A. Vargas, who is handling the case on a permanent basis, Judge Engelmayer said.

WSJ, Federal Judge Blocks Elon Musk’s DOGE From Treasury System, "Order requires those who have accessed payment records without proper security clearance to destroy them." That's easy. Trump can give them the clearance. The NYT view from Althouse, "A federal judge early Saturday temporarily restricted access by Elon Musk’s government efficiency program to the Treasury Department’s payment and data systems..." "Is the federal judge taking the position that in the name of enforcing the Take Care Clause, it is the role of the judiciary to oversee whatever the President does with the executive power that the Constitution vests in him? Is there some extra-legal notion that the federal judge should seize the power to put on the brakes when a President with questionable judgment is moving too fast? (I'm hearing some lawprofs singing that tune.)" Sundance at CTH, Leftist Lawfare – Manhattan Judge Issues Emergency Order Removing Secretary of Treasury, All Political Appointees and DOGE Personnel from Federal Govt., Only Bureaucrats Allowed in DC. "The order by the judge is transparent judicial activism; it will almost certainly be overturned and nullified by later rulings. However, it creates blocks and slows down the goal of the Dept of Government Efficiency and the objective of the Trump administration. On what basis do states think they can sue the federal government to stop the federal government from auditing federal spending? How can a judge block the executive branch from executing the functions of the executive branch? This Lawfare activism is ridiculous." Ilya Shapiro @ishapiro "The judicial resistance has begun. The Trump administration will ultimately win most of these legal battles—they’re lawyered up well this time—but the establishment won’t give up without a fight." Quote @amuse@amuse "LAWFARE: In an egregious and unconstitutional assault on executive authority, Judge Paul Engelmayer has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data. This ruling, concocted without legal precedent or constitutional justification, is nothing short of judicial sabotage. Worse, it was issued ex parte—meaning Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room. Only Democrat attorneys general were heard, ensuring a predetermined outcome."

Nicholas Ballasy at JTN, Musk slams 'absolutely insane' ruling blocking him and DOGE from accessing Treasury payment systems. Elon Musk @elonmusk, "This ruling is absolutely insane! How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent? That’s literally impossible! Something super shady is going to protect scammers. Quote Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11, "New York Judge Paul Engelmayer just forbade all political appointees — including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — from accessing Dept. of Treasury data, all based on Blueanon conspiracy theories!!Those theories couldn't be challenged because the order was EX PARTE — meaning Trump's lawyers weren't warned, and couldn't weigh in. Only Democrat Attorneys General were allowed to argue. . . . " Brianna Lyman at Da Fed shows the Judges Issuing Lawless Bans On Trump’s Clearly Legal Executive Actions Have Extremist Records. At ET, 14 States to File Lawsuit Against DOGE Access to Government Payment Systems, "The state attorneys general said the level of access given to DOGE is ‘unlawful’ and ‘unacceptable.’" You can probably guess most of the states. The Peacock whines that one U.S. judge declines to block Elon Musk’s DOGE from Labor Department systems. "Judge says plaintiff union has not shown it was harmed." From Fox, Federal judge rules not to immediately block DOGE access to Labor Department systems. "'Although the court harbors concerns about defendants’ alleged conduct, it must deny plaint." So with disagreement among federal judges can we take this straight to the Supreme Court for clarity? At Ars Technica, DOGE can’t use student loan data to dismantle the Education Dept., lawsuit says. "Students don't want loan data used in AI probe to slash DOE, according to lawsuit." At the Tax Prof, More Rich Taxpayers Learn Their Data Was Stolen in Huge IRS Leak.

Mark Tapscott at PJM says If You Love DOGE, the Best (and the Panicky Worst for the Left) is Still to Come. At Insty, THIS REALLY IS REVENGE OF THE NERDS WRIT LARGE: Elon Musk @elonmusk, "This is a job for Big Balls" Quote David Sacks@DavidSacks, "Sir, the Pentagon has failed another audit.” “Send in Big Balls.”" Larry Correia on FaceBook, "The best thing about DOGE gutting everything is it has conclusively demonstrated that there is no organic left. There is no lefty grass roots. It's all been one giant, organized, top down scam, where we've been footing the bill for our own destruction." Mark Judge at PJM, Elon and the End of the American Stasi "Personally, it’s hard to overemphasize the amount of relief and satisfaction I feel." Jeff Tucker at Brownstone, calls it The Most Dramatic Narrative Shift in Modern History. Jeff Carlson @themarketswork, "Elon’s new passion project is mapping out the corruption networks in DC. What do you think the Algos his tech team ran returned? Democrats are screwed." Morgan J. Freeman@mjfree "How could the world’s richest man’s passion project be to stop providing aid to poor, desperate people. Think about it." Ben Whedon at JTN says Trump goes for the jugular with NGO funding review, imperiling Dem-Journo-Activist cabal. "In what critics have described as “money laundering” of taxpayer dollars to left-wing advocates, USAID often distributes taxpayer money to NGOs that support liberal causes, some of which the government would not be able to advance directly." At Coffee and Covid, RAKE IN THE GRASS "It's pretty amazing how all the parts of Trump's strategy are coming together: from DOGE's giant testicles to the Proxy War and resorts in Gaza, it is all connected. I'll show it to you." 

Sundance hosts Tucker Carlson Interviews Mike Benz About USAID, NED and CIA Revelations. Very long, I got about half way through, but I intend to finish it. Also, A Brief Note About the USAID Larger Issues – Humanitarian Aid and National Security. "When you see a controversial issue within the USAID operation reaching sunlight, always remember it is the CIA behind it. When USAID targeted a foreign government for removal, it was the CIA behind it. When USAID engaged with domestic and foreign media to control mis-dis-malinformation, it is the CIA behind it. The CIA is defining the information." Matt Vespa at TownHall says USAID's Sloppy Trysts With Politico Pales in Comparison to This Scheme WikiLeaks @wikileaks, "USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives." At the Brussels Signal, Without USAID, the EU will have to pay for its own propaganda. Bonchie, reports Pete Hegseth Slams Fox News Reporter for Parroting Democrat Talking Points. Jennifer Griffin @JenGriffinFNC "Purge continues at USAID, many fear elimination, a win for China and Russia as developing nations and allies will turn to them for aid. Fox has learned 50 senior USAID staff were placed on administrative leave then all staff were subjected to a gag order."

At Insty, a SLUSH FUND FOR THE CONNECTED -> Dave Sack at RCP says USAID Seems To Be Paying Every Left-Wing Organization in World. 'Becca Downs at TownHall, From Canceled Media Contracts to Lawsuits to Expected Layoffs, the USAID News Continues. Streiff at RedState notes The Media Is Lying to You About Their Government Funding. "No matter the intent, it is an unassailable fact that in these three instances involving Politico, the New York Times, and the AP, the massive increase in their subscription business with the US government coincides with Joe Biden's election and is really obvious by February 2021, Biden's first full month in office. There is no such volume of subscriptions in either the Obama or Trump administrations." Tom Knighton at TAW, Politico is scrambling to cover themselves. Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd "Kara Swisher & Scott Galloway Are in Full Panic Mode Now Calling for the Arrest of the @DOGE Engineers “I want to see Democratic governors … use the full faith and the letter of the law to put you folks in prison … This is a coup … We need to go gangster here.”" The Beebe, Reddit community banned as user spat with Musk intensifies, "The r/WhitePeopleTwitter subreddit, which typically invites people to share funny posts from X, has been banned for 72 hours after some users posted comments calling for violence against members of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (Doge)."

NewsMax, Spending Bill Talks Bog Down After Trump's Efforts to Slash Government "Obviously, the Democrats are not in a good place right now, so they walked away from talks. But it'll have to resume," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., said Thursday." Tapscott at Insty wonders DOES THIS GUARANTEE TRUMP TAX CUTS EXTENSION? "“In a direct choice, government spending was overwhelmingly seen as a bigger problem (76 percent) than not enough revenue coming in from taxes (16 percent). This is the case across party (Republicans: 89-7; Independents 77-15; Democrats 63-27).” Streiff again, The US Treasury Spent HOW MUCH Illegally? Now You Know Why the Left Wants to Stop DOGE. "Congress illegally spent at least $516 billion in 2024 on programs for which there was no authorization," and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Website Goes Dark and the Woodchipper Warms Up. Dave Strom at Hat Hair snorts, DOGE Cancels $180,000 Anthony Fauci Museum Exhibit. From the Daily Economy, Defund NPR? It’s About Time. Long past time, in fact.

At Twitchy, OOF! That's Gonna Leave a Mark: J.D. Vance BURIES Ro Khanna in Heated Exchange About 'Racism' JD Vance@JDVance, "For the sake of both of our kids? Grow up. Racist trolls on the internet, while offensive, don't threaten my kids. You know what does? A culture that denies grace to people who make mistakes. A culture that encourages congressmen to act like whiny children." Quote Ro Khanna @RoKhanna "Are you going to tell him to apologize for saying "Normalize Indian hate" before this rehire? Just asking for the sake of both of our kids. x.com/jdvance/status…" Insty, WELL SAID, J.D . . .

NewsBusters, REVEALED: George Soros Poured $36.8 Million into Apparatus Controlling His Prosecutors. "This development comes after the firestorm on social media regarding the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) having a total obligation of approximately $27 million to Tides Center between 2016 and 2024. This and Soros’s funding perfectly encapsulates the “whole of society approach.” That is the phrase the Biden administration used to describe its plan to harness an interconnected alliance of public and private actors for furthering the leftist agenda. Soros is most definitely in the top echelon of this vendetta, if not the primary force behind it."

"As you can tell from the all-caps and the triple exclamation points, that's Trump, hating on the straws everyone hates." The Slantic whines when Trump Takes Over the Kennedy Center. Althouse extracts "Trump never attended the Kennedy Center’s annual gala event during his first term, as artists protested his administration and threatened to boycott Kennedy Center events at the White House." "Now Trump is making clear that he will not be sidelined again from the most celebrated cultural institution in Washington. 'The attitude is different this time. The attitude is Go fuck yourself,' said one of the people familiar with the planning. 'It’s ridiculous for four years for Trump and Melania to say, "We’re not going to the Kennedy Center because Robert De Niro doesn’t like us."' (De Niro was a Kennedy Center honoree in 2009 and spoke at the 2024 event.)"

Flotsam and Jetsam - DOGE Has Big Balls, Trump Revokes Biden Security Clearance

One of the wunderkinds working for Elon Musk's DOG used the screen name 'Big Balls' during his early life as a gamer, and another expressed some slightly less than politically correct racial language on line earlier, and the Democrats and the Media (but I redund), are running around screaming and crying about it.

From the NYT article on the subject: "“Congress explicitly, and intentionally, created the F.E.C. to be an independent, bipartisan federal agency whose commissioners are confirmed by Congress,” said Trevor Potter, a former commissioner and chairman of the commission].... “As the only agency that regulates the president, Congress intentionally did not grant the president the power to fire F.E.C. commissioners.”..." I think Potter means to say the President can't fire her at will, but he can fire her for cause. That's what Weintraub means by "There's a legal way." The relevant statute says: "Commissioners may be removed by the President only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." Is there cause? The NYT says: "Ms. Weintraub was the chief architect of a novel strategy to further paralyze the commission in partisan deadlocks in order to compel enforcement of the nation’s election laws through the courts. She previously described it as a last resort after years of enforcement efforts being stymied by the three Republicans on the commission...." Yer out!

VodkaPundit at Insty, SO NOW THE MEDIA IS ALL INTERESTED IN THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE? "Trump ran with Musk at his side, promising to unleash him and the DOGE boys on government spending. Biden was a senescent puppet who was never that bright or honest to begin with — and the media happily covered for Biden and the cabal. You do not despise them enough." Capt. Ed tells The Dirty Secret of DOGE: Dems Built It. "At first they claimed that Elon Musk had no authority to operate his DOGE project or access government information, until it turns out ... he did. As attorney Tom Renz explained in a lengthy Twitter/X thread, Trump took an agency launched by Barack Obama in 2014 called the US Digital Service and renamed it the US DOGE Service, and made Musk a special adviser to it. Trump then installed Musk's team as US DOGE Service staff and retasked the agency to find and expose all government spending in the executive branch."

At the Volokh Report, Josh Blackmun reports on how JD Vance briefly became President for a few minutes, Guest Post from Professor Kurt Lash: (Former) President J.D. Vance. You may have missed it, but, in fact, J.D. Vance was, by law, our 47th President. If only briefly. If you watched the Inauguration Ceremonies, you might have noticed an odd moment of rush and confusion between J.D. Vance saying his oath of office and Donald Trump then saying his presidential oath. During those brief moments, J.D. Vance was commander in chief of the armed forces and chief executive of the United States. Let me explain. J.D. Vance took his oath of office just as the clock was striking 12:00pm. (you can see this on the C-Span feed)According to the Twentieth Amendment, "The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January." This occurred because the ceremony had gone overtime, likely due to a certain politicians deciding to give an elongated comments (for what reason, heaven only knows). So, instead of Vance taking his oath before 12:00 and Trump taking his oath at twelve, Vance officially became Vice President at the stroke of 12:00pm-- the precise moment former President Joe Biden's term expired. There being no other person qualified to be president at that moment, J.D. Vance automatically became the President." Insurrection Barbie@DefiyantlyFree, "People who become billionaires in private industry, and then go to serve the government decrease their net worth. Yet somehow Clinton, Obama, Bush, Biden and all their top staffers increased their net worth after “public service.” Funny how that works. Lifelong public servant is apparently a very lucrative job."

From NYPo, Trump says he is ‘immediately revoking’ Biden’s security clearance and access to daily intelligence briefings: ‘I don’t trust him’. You mean Hunter's security clearance? Da Hill whines Trump revokes Biden’s security clearance: ‘Joe, you’re fired’. Trump also referenced special counsel Robert Hur’s 2024 report , which offered insights into Biden’s handling of classified materials. “The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information,” Trump said in the post. “I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Sundance, President Trump Cancels Joe Biden Security Clearances. Biden revoked Trumps clearance in 2021, setting him up for the Mar-a-Lago raid. Matt Vespa at TownHall, So, That's Who Was Running the Country After Joe's Disastrous CNN Debate, "Hunter Biden ‘commandeered’ the White House after Joe Biden got pummeled by Donald Trump in the June debate on CNN, which eventually became an election-killing event for Democrats. It gets even more insane: Hunter Biden took over the White House. That’s what Li alleges—it wasn’t Lady McBiden, aka Jill, it was Hunter."

Matt Margolis says Joe Biden’s Fake Job Numbers Scandal Just Got Worse. E.J. Antoni, Ph.D. @RealEJAntoni "All months in '24 were revised down in today's jobs report, w/ the average revision being -626k; what's even crazier is the business employment dynamics data from BLS and early benchmark from PHL Fed point to even worse downward revisions in the next annual benchmark:" Justin Hart@justin_hart, "Every single month in 2024 just got revised down in today’s jobs report—by an average of -626k. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the BLS business employment dynamics data and the Philly Fed’s early benchmark suggest even bigger downward revisions coming in the next annual update. Buckle up. h/t @RealEJAntoni"

From the Free Bacon, Biden State Dept Privately Downplayed Use of 'Jihad' and 'Occupation' in UNRWA-Made Study Materials, Saying Only 'Some Other Audiences' View the Terms as 'Inappropriate' "The internal memos, obtained by the Free Beacon, aimed to combat criticism over the Biden admin's decision to resume UNRWA funding."



Brendan O'Neill at Spec World explains How Trump is liberating the US from the transgender madness. "His executive order is searingly feminist. It’s a manifesto against misogyny." Insty sees HOLLYWOOD, INTERRUPTED: James Woods @RealJamesWoods, "Munchausen by Proxy has become a cancer in leftist culture. Mass hysteria no different than the Salem witch trials. I am speaking of the cultural zeitgeist in generaI. I have no specific knowledge of this tweety bird and her flock of “transgenders.”" Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11 "At a protest against Trump's executive orders targeting child mutilation procedures on minors, Actress Cynthia Nixon reveals that: -Her daughter is transgender -Her niece is transgender -Her best friend's child is transgender -Her daughter's best friend is transgender -Her life is filled with transgender people, "young and old, but especially young." President Trump is saving American children from one of the most destructive social contagions in human history" and Dr. Clown, PhD @DrClownPhD "Charlize Theron is a horrible mother." The problem is, of course, that one way for the child of a Hollywood star to get attention is to come out as gay, non-binary or trans. At Fox, California plans to continue allowing trans athletes to compete in girls' sports despite Trump executive order, "The state has faced multiple controversies over trans athletes competing against girls in the last year." At the National News Desk, London's Science Museum claims Lego bricks can be anti-LGBT. Alas, Legos don't have "bonus holes." 

At Althouse, "Under her leadership articles have included 'How Feminism can Guide Climate Change by Action,' 'Denial of Evolution is a Form of White Supremacy,' and a critique of Star Wars..." "... titled: 'Why the term JEDI is problematic for describing programmes that promote justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.' The author of this last piece called the Jedi 'a religious order of intergalactic police-monks, prone to (white) saviorism and toxically masculine approaches to conflict resolution (violent duels with phallic lightsabers, gaslighting by means of "Jedi mind tricks," etc)'...." From "How magazine went from publishing Einstein to calling Jedi racist/Scientific American has been accused of abandoning objective rigour for a ‘woke’ agenda" (London Times).

Flotsam and Jetsam - The Race is On

At Da Caller, Trump Pulls Ahead Of Harris In Major National Poll, New York Times/Siena College poll, 48/47%. 'Bonchie' at RedState sees Hilarious Cope Flows Like Fine Wine After Times Poll Shows Trump Beating Harris. Matt Margolis at PJM, The New York Times Writes Eulogy for Kamala's Momentum. NRO, The New NYT/Siena Poll Hammers Home the Reality that Harris Is Running Out of Gas  Nat Silver thinks The mistakes of 2019 could cost Harris the election "Voters think she’s too far to the left — but there’s plenty of room to define Trump as radical." At Twitchy, Cue the Lefty MELTDOWNS: Nate Silver Forecast Has Trump Up BIGLY Over Kamala Harris, The Joyful Momentum Is GONE: NYT/Siena Poll Shows Trump With Lead (and the Not Shocking Reasons WHY) and UH OH: Guess Which Age Group Identifies LEAST With Democrats (And It Doesn't Bode Well for the Left). Stephen L. Miller@redsteeze "She has the same problem Biden had but for different reasons and they know it, which is they have to put her out there more, but can't put her out there more", Quote Kyle Smith@rkylesmith  "A couple more polls like this one and Dem insiders are gonna start turning up in Politico saying “maybe we shoulda had an actual primary instead of a coronation?” Then the inevitable “staffers are being fired” story." Althouse, "A near majority of voters say Mr. Trump is 'not too far' to the left or right on the issues, while only around one-third say he’s 'too far to the right.'" ""Nearly half of voters, in contrast, say Ms. Harris is too far to the left; only 41 percent say she’s 'not too far either way.' This is one of Mr. Trump’s overlooked advantages. . . Writes Nate Cohn in "New Poll Suggests Harris’s Support Has Stalled After a Euphoric August," and "In February 2023, the New York Times published an article titled, 'Kamala Harris Is Trying to Define Her Vice Presidency. Even Her Allies Are Tired of Waiting.'" Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw wonders Should the 25th Amendment be Amended to Include Vice Presidents? Yeah, probably. 

John Kass is looking forward to The Thunderdome Debate "She’ll go for the face and for the throat. The media will support and shield her. If she survives, yet makes a fool of herself with her trademark word salads and mentally wanders all over the place as she did in her disastrous CNN interview, the media I mentioned will proclaim her the winner. They’ll cheer her name and recast her as Obama 2.0. We’ll be washed with Democrat feelings. We’ll be required to “feel the joy.”" At WaEx, ‘Happy’ Trump, composed Harris: How advisers want their candidate to act in Tuesday’s debate. Nick Arama at RedState notices NBC Dishes Some Hilarious Details About What Harris Is Planning for the Debate “It’s not beyond the pale that he will mumble ‘this b----,’” one of the sources said. “That’s not unreasonable to assume.

"“I think of her as America’s wine mom,” Malice told Rogan, adding that Harris has the “three phases” of wine mom; happy drunk, drunk at work [sic], and “I’m being stern, so you don’t realize how plastered I am” drunk, all of which he breaks down with quotes from Harris."  Stephen Kruiser at PJM, Dems' 2024 Platform — Your Reality Is Wrong, Stupid Voters.

ET reports the Nation’s Largest Police Union Endorses Trump. 

Hat Hair's Dave Strom hears Democrats Freaking Out Because Trump Says He Will Jail Election Cheaters. "Trump, on his Truth Social platform last night, threatened to jail adversaries, including Democratic donors. "WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED" in elections of 2020 or 2024, he wrote, "will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences ... Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials." If you haven't done anything illegal, you have nothing to fear, right? Alex Thompson @AlexThomp, "Trump is now proposing two of the largest-ever federal arrests of people living in America, including U.S. citizens, if he's re-elected. https://axios.com /newsletters/ax". David Strom@DavidStrom "You object to imprisoning people who cheated in an election, and that the numbers are huge? Quite the admission" Sundance at CTH, “Cease and Desist” – President Trump Accurately Identifies the Institution at the Epicenter of Government Controlled Voter Fraud.

Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair sees Kamala's Latest Flip-Flop. Plastic Straw Ban. Twitchy notes even Dana Bash finds Kamala 'EVASIVE' --> Dana Bash Gives DAMNINGLY Honest Review of Her Kamala/Tim Walz Interview and WOW (Watch). From Real Clear Defense, What is the Kamala Harris Doctrine? "Based on her brief remarks about foreign policy in her acceptance speech, we know Harris favors a Palestinian state (“self-determination” for the Palestinian people) and a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, i.e., Israel stopping its offensive in Gaza. We know she favors continuing to provide military aid to Ukraine. She said nothing about Taiwan, and next to nothing about China. The latter is a glaring omission because the U.S. and China, as Niall Ferguson and others have explained, are waging Cold War II against each other."

Greg Price @greg_price11 "Welker: "Do you think Kamala is abandoning her progressive ideals?" Bernie: "No... I think she is trying to be pragmatic and do what she thinks is right in order to win the election." Oops, you weren't supposed to say that part out loud!" PJM's Matt Margolis says Bernie Sanders Just Exposed Kamala Harris as a Fraud Scamming the Voters. 'Fuzzy Slippers' at LI, Bernie: “Pragmatic” Kamala Not Abandoning Her Progressive Ideals, Just “Doing What She Thinks Is Right To Win The Election,” "The quiet part out loud"

'Becca Lower at RedState, Pure Fire: Gov. Sarah Sanders Hits the Big Issue With the Cheneys, Other 'Republicans' Endorsing Harris. This Week@ThisWeekABC "Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on former Rep. Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris: “I’m not trying to be rude, but you don't get to call yourself a conservative or a Republican when you support the most radical nominee that the Democrats have ever put up.” https://trib.al/eFffgiO" At Am Great, Roger Kimball, thinks Liz Cheney’s Kamala Endorsement is A Symptom of Elite Panic. "The rush of people like the Cheneys to Harris's banner is not a sign of strength; it is a sign of desperation.". That's fine with me. MAZE@mazemoore "According to Joe Biden, Dick Cheney is the most dangerous Vice President in American history. Cheney supports Kamala Harris. Seems about right." James Lynch at NRO, George W. Bush Will Not Be Endorsing Presidential Candidate This Cycle.

The Babylon Bee@TheBabylonBee "'Maybe We Took A Wrong Turn Somewhere,' Thinks Party Whose Candidate Just Got Endorsed By Dick Cheney And Vladimir Putin https://buff.ly/3XeD5DP"


Matt Margolis, Biden’s Excessive Vacationing Looks Even Worse When You Put It This Way "The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has racked up 532 vacation days in less than four years in office — the rough equivalent to 48 years of vacations, according to shocking data compiled by the Republican National Committee," reports the New York Post. "The total was crunched using Expedia’s Annual Vacation Deprivation Report, which is based on the average vacation time taken by Americans — 11 days a year, the Washington Examiner reported." But, then, he's not really working when he's working, is he? Leslie Eastman at LI,  Biden Ignored Vineyard Wind Blade Failure in Recent Remarks about Green Schemes.

Owen Gregorian@OwenGregorian "BREAKING: Trump promises free speech executive order, pledges to fire any bureaucrat engaging in censorship under Harris regime  "I will sign an executive order banning any federal employee from colluding to limit speech." As debates over free speech heat up in the United States, former president and GOP contender for the White House Donald Trump announced that he would defend the First Amendment from the federal level, should he gain a second term. "I will sign an executive order banning any federal employee from colluding to limit speech, and we will fire every federal bureaucrat who is engaged in domestic censorship under the Harris regime," Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday. . ."  Professor Ornery Dragon discusses Censorship, Speech, and Calling the Cops "today I want to point out the massive contradictions between the words of those on the left who insist that they are trying to “save democracy” and their actions… their lived experiences if you will. They are willing to kill democracy and individual freedoms in the name of “saving” them and “creating safe spaces.” So off we go!" WSJ astonished that Brazilians Take to Streets to Protest Ban on Elon Musk’s X. "Demonstrations follow a showdown between Brazil’s Supreme Court and the tech mogul over allegations of hate speech on his social-media platform." Charlie Kirk@charliekirk11, "If you’re tempted to lose faith in humanity, watch this: A sea of Brazilians gather in support of free speech after the banning of 𝕏 in that country. The human spirit longs for freedom."

Campus Reform, Stanford profs condemn DEI at school, say it can lead to anti-Semitism, "‘Rather than correcting stereotypes, diversity training too often reinforces them and breeds resentment,’ the professors wrote."
