Eric Holder??? Pardon me while I laugh my socks off.

This was while Obama was collectiing $2million a year on his “royalties” from Obamacare, right? Holder would have stopped that? I don’t think so.

Doge just stopped it after Obama had gotten something like $40 million on it.

No, this was at a public meeting and there is an exception for that. That’s why it’s being published now.

You’ll never be able to stop the tech (which in some cases may actually be very helpful).

All we, as Americans, have to do is control the use of the information.

It must all be in accordance with the Constitution...in other words, no use of it to persecute people who expressed a conservative opinion, etc.

Urging terrorism is one thing and should be stopped. This would be such as BLM, which because it was leftist, remains unpunished to this day.

The only thing we need to fear is having the government use regular ID information, such as a palm print, to track what it perceives as enemies. Not surprisingly, it’s leftist governments that do this more than anybody else.

But you can’t stop technology...just control its use and protect against misuse.

Who didn’t think this would happen?

Trump always thinks that if he’s nice to them - RINOs and Dems - they’ll be nice to him. He’s wrong.

Zelensky should not have attacked Russia yesterday. I think he has no interest in peace. It would stop the Dem gravy train dead in its tracks.

He knows whereof he speaks. He is as a JAG (with top of the line legal background from Yale). Like Vance, he’s from a very modest family in the Jacksonville area…dad was an AC repair guy, if I recall correctly, but de Santis got scholarships and then the military program.

Like Vance he’s brilliant on the Constitution and US history.

I hope Trump listens to him. I don’t think Bondi is aggressive enough.

The EU is doing everything it can to sabotage peace. Zelensky has already said that he wasn’t going to stop attacks on Russia so he’s the one who’s not cooperating with Trump. But he’s the EU cash cow, so the EU doesn’t want peace.

Exactly.

The problem is that they didn’t really want to work in the first place. Working from home gave them the perfect excuse.

Does Hochul actually of expect them in the office?

Probably not, because the red light warning about a manager is when they don’t want in person meetings. She and most of her folks are lousy managers who have only survived because of the shutdown and our leftist fed gov (except for the brief and unsuccessful Trump intervention).

This has got to be one of his best titles yet! Moobs Over Mar-A-Lago!

This is brilliant: “Over the course of Francis’s pontificate, the Church has become decidedly self-referential.”

That’s exactly what has happened. Francis accepted the world and its standards and just thought his job was to tweak Church procedures so they were were conformed to it.

Good. It has always had an awful administrative model that caused employee resentment and poor performance (remember the phrase”going postal”) and obviously created massive inefficiency. It was also technology resistant and I think got into mostly hanging on to bureaucrat jobs.

“Yesterday, President Donald Trump single-handedly collapsed the most destructive idea of the last hundred years—Palestine.”

Yes! People here and on X are screaming in horror (”nation building,” etc.) but that’s not what this is.

The faux “Palestine” has been not only a source of terror for the rest of the world, but a source of misery for its own people and its neighbors.

It was an artificial construct for leftist-Islamist political purposes. The inhabitants are all originally from Jordan and Egypt, who do not want to take them back, and they have ruined their own society and place and have sown terror throughout the world.

Get rid of the place, set its people free from their wicked spell, and get on with the good life for all.

Wait…”Zelensky warns…”.? In what world does that mean anything?

I think we can all rule that one out, but the thing that struck me was something that came out in a recent press conference: Trudeau has not called or tried to communicate directly with Trump in any way to be able to negotiate this.

Instead Trudeau and the Marxist Mexican seem to be forming an anti-American alliance.

I think this is an excellent idea, one of his best yet. I hope he can carry it out.

Aren’t they embarrassed? Cheering for Obama makes you look - well, so old and irrelevant.

One of the problems was that some of these people had never been tried, and some hadn’t even been charged but were just being held.

For those who had been charged, in many cases the legality of the charge was dubious, and the “trials” were so manipulated by biased judges and perjury by “witnesses” and the lack (or theft of) of evidence foiund by the committee that there was no way of saying that they had a fair and honest trial on honest charges.

And, IIRC, everyone tried was found guilty and charges were even added in the course of things, including a charge that the Supreme Court actually dismissed as unconstitutional.

Its their own fault. If the RINOs had insisted on had fair and honest trials, carried out their oversight duties correctly, responded to their constituents, etc. that would be another matter.
