Clarence Thomas has long understood the terrible constitutional perversion the Supreme Court imposed on America, and this is his time to roar. As if we needed confidence in yet another American institution destroyed, we were treated with a true spectacle of deceit in last Friday’s Supreme Court’s oral arguments on OSHA’s vaccine mandates. With the hysterical hyperbole of a CNN anchor, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a self-proclaimed “wise Latina woman,” refuted that description by declaring, “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in...

Sen. Ted Cruz created angst among Democrats when he kicked off the new year saying if Republicans recapture the House, resident Joe Biden could be impeached based on the standard Democrats established themselves. “The Democrats weaponized impeachment,” the Texas senator said. The central warning in “Abuse of Power,” was that applying impeachment without a demonstrable crime, the political equivalent of the death penalty, and nullifying an election should not occur—nor should the attempt thereof even if there is no chance of a Senate conviction. “The more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel, you know, what’s good...

Garland, in the manner of A. Mitchell Palmer, Woodrow Wilson's attorney general, won't be satisfied until he gathers up thousands more innocent people in a bald attempt to intimidate the Republican party. History will record, once the storm clouds of leftist propaganda are dispelled by the winds of truth, that President Trump's remarks on January 6, 2021, were a defense of the Constitution, American democracy -- and criticism of weak-kneed Republicans, addressed to tens of thousands of his patriotic supporters. Here is the text of those remarks. President Trump was equally on target when, a year and a day after...

You can count on three fingers how much Al Sharpton has in common with Pastor Corey Brooks, the pastor who’s on a 100-day rooftop “campout” in frigid, single-digit weather to bring attention to the culture of violence and poverty in Chicago. They’re both black. They’re both focused on issues in troubled black communities. And they both hold titles as members of the Christian clergy. Other than that, these men are worlds apart in their approach to solving the generational problems of blacks – especially young black men – in urban areas. Sharpton curses the darkness from a distance, then adds...

The COVID pandemic appears to supply yet another pretext for the move towards bigger and more authoritarian government. In his classic book, Crisis and Leviathan, economic historian Robert Higgs introduced a key concept that he called “the ratchet effect.” Higgs noted that the power of government grows during times of crisis, such as war or national depression, but that once the crisis passes, the newly acquired power of the State doesn't recede back to its original level. Higgs explained: “After the ideological transformation that took place during the Progressive Era, each genuine crisis has been the occasion for another ratchet...

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings (as said by Tyrion Lannister) The recent social media banishment of Dr. Robert Malone, a Covidstan dissident who likely presented more of a threat than our Big Tech overlords were willing to stomach thanks to his expertise and contribution to the development of mRNA technology, has again brought leftist censorship to the forefront of the public consciousness. Malone, who joined other prominent figures like feminist author Naomi Wolf,...

Senior medics have criticised an unvaccinated intensive care doctor who challenged the health secretary over his policy of mandatory Covid jabs for NHS staff, with one saying his comments were “an anti-vax wet dream”. Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist at Kings College Hospital in London, last week told a visiting Sajid Javid “the science is not strong enough” to insist on compulsory vaccination. His comments have been criticised by some of his NHS colleagues, with one arguing that he should be suspended. David Nicholl, a consultant neurologist, said: “If an individual like that worked for me they would be suspended...

A primary school teacher who sent thousands of pounds to people and groups linked to terrorism has been banned from the classroom. Miriam Sebbagh sent money to a person connected to Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) – of which Anjem Choudary was among the prominent members - and an individual who was thought to have left the UK to join Isis. She also sent extremist videos which promoted violent jihad. The 52-year-old, who worked at Hunwick primary school in Crook, County Durham, has now been banned from teaching "indefinitely" by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA). Sebbagh was arrested by Counter Terrorism Policing North...

As shocking as it may seem, the Democrats are right about something for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day; even Eric Swalwell occasionally mates with someone who is not a Chi Com spy, shutting her eyes tight and doing her booty duty for Beijing. The Dems are right that we need election reform to save our democracy. I propose that we change how we conduct elections, good and hard.Now, the Democrats have a very different objective in reforming the election system than we do. They seek to make it easier for lazy and stupid people to...

Aside from labeling herself an “affirmative action baby,” Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor once suggested she was a “wise Latina.” Given this, apropos here is a line from ancient Chinese sage Confucius: “Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.” Sotomayor certainly failed this test during oral arguments on Friday over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 “vaccine” mandates, making outlandishly incorrect claims that have brought her mockery. “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators,” she stated...

You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are both attached to the body of big corrupt government. In this food supply chain issue, the Republican wing sees an opportunity. In this food supply chain issue, the Democrat wing sees an opportunity. Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for...

In Supreme Court arguments on the OSHA COVID Vaccination Mandate case, the “Wise Latina” revealed at least Sixth Degree Stupidity for all to see. One should not casually suggest that a graduate of law school who has ascended through the ranks to the highest Court in the land is stupid. But that is the inescapable conclusion her performance requires. For those who missed the demonstration of her upward failure, we must present the details. But first, we must look at the question the Supreme Court is supposedly trying to address. Justice Kavanaugh granted the emergency appeal in NFIB v OSHA,...

Perhaps the Right was a little hasty with its condemnations of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. Early in 2021, Noem proposed legislation that would require all athletic contests in the state to be designated as male, female, and both, and that only those born female would be allowed to compete in girls’ sports. The proposal ran into some headwinds — the NCAA was making noises about canceling all events in any state that enacted such a ban, and others raised concerns about the reporting requirements and how it would be determined whether or not athletes had taken anabolic steroids in...

On July 6, 2021, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed SB 7196 into law. The law is specifically designed to overrule the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). On December 16, 2021, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and 14 additional plaintiffs (including, I am glad to say, a local gun store, Sprague’s of Yuma, Arizona) sued the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, to stop implementation of the law, designed to violate the Constitutional rights of all Americans. From the lawsuit:1. This lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of a New York statute that was enacted with...

For most infections, early treatment is imperative to prevent late complications. Gangrene infection in the toe must be treated aggressively to prevent losing not only the toe, but also a foot or leg if the infection is inadequately treated and spreads. Those with cardiovascular disease are treated with statins and blood thinners as outpatients to prevent more serious disease and subsequent hospital care for stroke and heart attack with a much higher probability of disability or death. COVID has been with us for almost two years and yet there are still not officially and medical establishment endorsed outpatient treatment protocols...

The Boston Police Department has put the most vocal critic of the city’s vaccine mandate on leave amid an internal-affairs investigation a week ahead of the jab deadline. Sgt. Shana Cottone, the head of the recently formed group Boston First Responders United, is now on administrative leave from the department, the Boston Police Department confirmed. A spokesman said it’s due to an open internal affairs investigation, so no further information is available. Cottone said BPD officers came to her house and took her badge and gun Saturday morning. “They’re trying to come after me — to silence me,” Cottone told...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Sunday rebuked Rep. Jody Hice (Ga.), his challenger in the upcoming GOP primary, as being "double-minded" when it comes to the most recent national elections. "The person I'm running against, Congressman Hice, he's been in Congress for several years. He's never done a single piece of election reform legislation. Then he certified his own race with those same machines, the same ballots, and yet for President Trump, he said you couldn't trust that," Raffensperger said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "That's a double-minded person, and as a pastor, he should know better. So...
