  • How the leak might have happened

    SCOTUS Blog ^ | May 5, 2022 | By Tom Goldstein
    Among the debates generated by the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion in Dobbs is whether the leaker was conservative or liberal. The leak will ultimately pale in importance to the court’s decision once it is issued; the ruling will directly affect the lives and rights of tens of millions of people. But in the meantime, the motives of the leaker are an important topic because they help explain why an institution that zealously guards its secrets suddenly seems porous. Start from the premise that there were actually (at least) two leakers, and three leaks. The first leak was to...

    Mothers are a special breed of human being. History is filled with stories of mothers who defied kings, survived famine, resisted terrorists, and faced down bullies to protect their families. Mothers take on governments, drunk drivers, school boards, and drug dealers to ensure their children are safe, fed, educated, and treated fairly. Every Mother’s Day, moms around the world are honored or pampered. Yet their mother’s instinct continues to work to protect their young. On Mother’s Day, as on every other day of the year, mom is ready to stand up to any adversary that would harm her family. This...

    Who are the globalist members of the trade organization known as The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the operatives that they have trained, why should you care, and what can you do about it?Let’s begin with answering “who are they?” The current 100 WEF full members (“Strategic Partners”) are basically drawn from the largest corporations in the world, together with their owners and managers, who are often referred to as “Davos Man”. The list of corporations, owners and managers that control the WEF is not disclosed and membership can only be inferred indirectly. However, the WEF members do not act...

    Progressives claim no judge should have the power to tell them they can or cannot have an abortion. They do not want to admit it, but they are agreeing with Justice Samuel Alito's point in the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health. The Court should never have entered the abortion fray. In 1973, seven men on the United States Supreme Court shut down a debate over abortion in the country. There had never been a right to an abortion in American jurisprudence. Some states were slowly moving that way through legislative acts. But overwhelmingly, Americans...
  • How Ukraine Uses Obsolete Soviet Grenades To Destroy Russian Tanks From Above

    Ukrainian fighters have found a new use for outdated grenades that is proving spectacularly effective at destroying Russian tanks and other armored vehicles. This photo released by Aerorozvidka, an organization that develops Ukraine's use of small drones in warfare, shows a Ukrainian-made octocopter drone with two bomblets mounted beneath it. Videos recently released by Aerorozvidka show what appears to be the same, tail-finned explosives being dropped by drone before destroying armored vehicles with catastrophic explosions. Weapons trackers following the conflict in Ukraine have identified the bomblets as modified Soviet-era RKG-3 anti-tank grenades with 3D-printed tail fins attached to stabilize...

    The Kremlin has denied that it has any information about a reported Ukrainian strike on a Russian warship in the Black Sea. Speculation has been growing on Friday over the fate of the Admiral Makarov which Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko said on his Telegram account had been hit in a missile strike and burst into flames. Russian forces sent helicopters to rescue the crew of the ship, according to Ukrainian news site Dumskaya. The vessel was said to have been sailing close to Snake Island in the Black Sea. However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters "we do not have...

    It is a curious twist that many on the left who consider themselves to be refined iconoclasts, who feel obliged to incessantly belabor the flaws of figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, are also among the most fervent idol-worshipers. The latest of these idols is, of course, none other than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, now the subject of a cult that, in its amorous overtones, mirrors closely the ill-fated cult of Andrew Cuomo. Conservatives, sick of being told to worship the media-approved Hero of the Day, are understandably skeptical. This skepticism is justified: Zelensky, a comedian in an olive-green...

  • GEN. McCLELLAN’S ADVANCE: The Rebel Rear Guard Overtaken Near Williamsburgh; A Brisk Skirmish on Sunday Afternoon (5/6/1862)

    DISPATCHES FROM GEN. McCLELLAN. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, May 4 -- 7 P.M. Hon E.M. Stanton, Secretary of War: Our cavalry and horse-artillery came up with the enemy's rear guard in their intrenchments, about two miles this side of Williamsburgh. A brisk fight ensued just as my Aid left. SMITH'S Division of infantry arrived on the ground, and, I presume, carried his works, though I have not yet heard. The enemy's rear is strong, but I have force enough up there to answer all purposes. We have, thus far, seventy-one heavy guns, and large amounts of tents, ammunition, &c....

  • Redistricting Proved To Be Much Ado About Not Very Much

    The congressional redistricting wars are mostly over. Much of the hoopla surrounding it is proving overheated. Before looking at this cycle's results, a primer on the subject is in order. The first and most important point is that the requirement that districts have equal populations seriously limits the effects of partisan redistricting. That requirement seems to have been on the minds of the framers of the Constitution. The framers mandated a federal census to be conducted every 10 years to determine the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives based on population. Ours was, I believe, the first regularly...

    It’s interesting and weird for a few minutes. But you gradually come to realise that he is actually crazy. His main point is wrong and so his solutions are wrong too, Brownstone Institute wrote of Bill Gates’s new book ‘How to Prevent the Next Pandemic’. The main theme is implied in the title. With enough money, intelligence, and power, along with technological know-how at the helm, the next pathogen to come along can be stopped in its tracks. Where the bug goes after that he never explains. Presumably, it just disappears. Like a computer virus, it exists but doesn’t ruin...
  • Iceland: Stillbirths and Neonatal Deaths increased by 80% in 2021

    The rate of stillbirths in Iceland almost doubled compared with the average for 2011-2020 and first-year infant deaths more than doubled. Taken together there was an 82% increase, as reported by Icelandic daily Frettin based on new data from Statistics Iceland. No infant deaths have been attributed to Covid according to official data. The Mass Covid injection campaign began in early 2021 and by 15 July, 70% of the population had been fully vaccinated. Eleven cases of foetal damage post-Covid injection had been reported to the Icelandic Medicines Agency by the end of April 2022, wrote Thorsteinn Siglaugsson. He continued:...

    Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will hold a vote on a bill codifying abortion's legality so that voters, he contends, can "see where every senator stands." Though Schumer believes this is a political slam dunk for Democrats, it presents a magnificent opportunity for Republicans to make their case. Though many conservatives have rightly avoided prematurely celebrating Justice Samuel Alito's draft decision, many also seem frightened of debating the underlying issue. Indeed, the draft leak is a significant assault on the system, but no more so than Roe v. Wade. For 50 years, our culture and media have treated this flawed...
