Jack Smith—who has nothing but a humiliating losing streak before SCOTUS—takes pot shots at Clarence Thomas for his concurring opinion in immunity decision that raised the unconstitutionality of Smith’s appointment. This is in response to Judge Cannon asking for additional briefing on immunity decision related to documents case in FLA. She is contemplating both a motion to dismiss on presidential immunity grounds (filed months ago) AND a motion to dismiss based on Smith’s unlawful appointment—which was the subject of a hearing last month. Of course Thomas’ opinion is relevant in this case but leave it to unaccountable, unelected, not Congress-approved...

A new terrorist movement is emerging in America. Just as every cell in the human body has a complete copy of our genetic code, so too every terrorist rally is a microcosm of the entire movement threatening America, Israel and the world. The mob that converged on Congregation Adas Torah in a Jewish neighborhood in West LA was smaller than the thousands that had terrorized communities in New York and London, but all the elements that make up the pro-terror side were represented outside the synagogue. The PLO terror flags waved by the rioters represented more than just the cause...

A federal judge in Texas has ruled that a 156-year-old ban on at-home distilling is unconstitutional, siding with a group that advocates for legalizing the ability of people to produce spirits like whiskey and bourbon for their personal consumption. U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of Republican former President Donald Trump in Fort Worth, on Wednesday agreed with, opens new tab the Hobby Distillers Association's lawyers that the longstanding ban exceeded Congress's taxing power and ran afoul of the U.S. Constitution's Commerce Clause.

A federal judge in Florida threw out the prosecution of former President Donald Trump on Monday in the “documents” case because she ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith had not been appointed in a constitutional or lawful manner. Judge Aileen Cannon granted a defense motion after ruling that Smith, who was not confirmed by the U.S. Senate as other U.S. Attorneys have been in the past, could not lawfully bring the indictment against Trump in federal court. “In the end, it seems the Executive’s growing comfort in appointing ‘regulatory’ special counsels in the more recent era has followed an ad...

VIDEOS AT LINK......................... People have been saying it’s Parkinson’s for some time now. Alex Berenson: Following my post today, a neurosurgeon and Unreported Truths reader (yes, some of you are actually brain surgeons) wrote in. For obvious reasons, he did not want his name used, but his email and answers to my follow-up question speak for itself. I’d urge you to read to the end, for the prediction he makes. I simply wanted to give you a thumbs up on your diagnosis of POTUS. He undoubtedly has Parkinson’s disease, and is increasingly suffering from Parkinson’s dementia. The signs are unmistakable:...

For Jews in America and around the world, Israel represents a thriving land of survival and opportunity, and not only for my people. Nowhere else in the Middle East are those of all races, religions, sexes and sexual orientations welcome to live in peace and prosperity. Now the dream is dying — thwarted by people who’d like nothing better than to see Israel wiped from the map. It’s a sad day across the United States and abroad as whiny, privileged college students and thrill-seeking provocateurs, egged on by leftist professors, the “mainstream” news media and numbskull politicians, foment pro-terrorist, anti-Jewish...

All I can say to Trump’s pick for his vice president: Good luck. The real story is why anyone would want to follow Mike Pence’s fate. After Pence refused to overturn the 2020 election, Trump incited a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol that began chanting, “Hang Mike Pence.” The same chilling question applies to all the people auditioning for Cabinet positions by speaking at this week’s GOP convention. To the men and women trying to move up in the GOP ranks by agreeing to fawn over Trump on stage in Milwaukee this week, and telling lies about a stolen...

... The progressive show, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, will not air Monday morning and will resume Tuesday, despite the start of the Republican National Convention. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that the show was pulled to prevent one of its dozens of guests from making an inappropriate comment while live that could paint the show and network in a bad light. ...

Judge dismisses classified documents indictment against Donald Trump. The federal judge overseeing the classified documents charges against former president Donald Trump has dismissed the indictment on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, according to a new court filing Monday. U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ruling is a remarkable win for Trump, whose lawyers have thrown longshot argument after longshot argument to dismiss the case. Other courts have rejected similar arguments to the one that he made in Florida about Smith’s unlawful appointment.

the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was "shocking," but it really wasn't. It was awful and depressing, of course, but I can't say that I was shocked. The Democrats have done everything they could since 2016 to make last Saturday happen, dutifully aided and abetted by their flying monkeys in the mainstream media. ... unhinged ... they have been behaving since Trump was elected. Matt wrote yesterday that Tucker Carlson had predicted this last year: “If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment and none of...

Elon Musk has made strides to turn X (formerly Twitter) into a free speech platform but there are still remnants of the Old Twitter censorship regime and they are interfering in the 2024 election. It now appears that X is actively boosting content posted by Democrat congressional members’ accounts, while simultaneously de-amplifying their GOP counterparts in the middle of an election year.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times. WASHINGTON, Thursday, July 14. A train came through from Baltimore this morning, leaving at 9 A.M. With the exception of five mud-cars, which the rebels burnt at Beltsville, and cutting the telegraph wire, no damage has been done; not a single rail has been removed from its place. There are no rebel troops between Washington and Baltimore. The raiding parties have all joined their main army, which has been falling back from Washington, and are now endeavoring to cross the Potomac at the different fords. It is thought they will be unsuccessful in their...

A staffer for Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is “no longer” employed with him after she appeared to express disappointment that former President Donald Trump survived the assassination attempt at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania. Jacqueline Marsaw, who listed her job as a field director for Thompson on her Facebook profile, reportedly wrote, “I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn’t me talking.” “Couldn’t happened to a nicer fellow but was it staged,” Marsaw wrote in a follow-up post, shared by Matthew Hurtt of the Leadership Institute. “This...

NATIONAL TAPIOCA PUDDING DAY National Tapioca Pudding Day on July 15th encourages us to dig into this pudding dish enjoyed around the world! #TapiocaPuddingDay Tapioca is a starch derived from the cassava root.

Also known as manioc or yucca, growers cultivate cassava around the world. A part of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) family, this woody shrub is native...
