Can a Discriminatory View of Legal Standing Stand?

This is not an incorrect headline.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) has, of course, consistently blamed criticism of her performance in office on sexism like any good neoliberal politician would. But she also recently piloted a new little victimization narrative for herself by complaining about racism, just to shake things up.
Porter’s recent cry of racism comes in the context of her travels through the corporate media circuit to promote herself as demented Dianne Feinstein’s replacement as one of California’s two senators.
As part of her campaign, Porter graced ABC’s The View, toxic cesspit of performative feminism that it is, for a daytime TV propaganda tour.
For the past couple of years, we’ve been led to believe that the letter from 51 national security officials was some sort of spontaneous, grassroots effort by the intelligence community to warn us about the potential foreign influence behind Hunter Biden’s laptop.
The laptop has since been confirmed to be legitimate, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed that there was no foreign disinformation campaign involved. But new information from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and congressional investigators, with the help of two Obama-era CIA officials, has revealed a new twist in the story. The investigation has uncovered evidence linking the letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop
The Chauvin Appeal Ruling
0 replies
My friend Bill Mohrmann is representing Derek Chauvin on appeal of his conviction for the murder of George Floyd. Former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal is representing the State of Minnesota. It’s something of a David and Goliath matchup. The Minnesota Court of Appeals was the first stop. The court held oral argument before a panel of three judges this past January. I reported on it here.
The principal issue on appeal was that pretrial publicity and related riots required a change of venue — that they precluded a fair trial in violation of the Sixth Amendment. As we noted repeatedly during trial, the martial security
Carpe Donktum calls himself an “Eternally Sarcastic Memesmith,” and his eternally sarcastic memes have earned him over 335,000 followers on Twitter, as well as the undying wrath of the authoritarian Left: his pro-Trump memes were so effective that he was banned from Twitter in June 2020, at the height of Trump’s reelection campaign, and only reinstated when Elon Musk took over. Over the last few days, he has begun calling attention to the transgender cult’s grooming of the youngest children in schools in a particularly piquant — and riotous — way.
It all started on Thursday, when Carpe Donktum tweeted: “As a 3rd grade teacher, I often talk about Jesus
Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) I am well aware that many who read today’s headline will think, “On its way?!?!?”
California is a lot more than what people outside of it see. I lived there for four years when I was a kid and spent over 20 years there as an adult. There are still a lot of good people there, and the physical beauty of the state remains unchanged.
The politics, sadly, are rotten to the core.
When I left there a little over five years ago, the politics in Sacramento were descending into a hideous place they hadn’t been in all the time I’d lived there.
Twenty-four people were shot Saturday night at a Sweet 16 birthday party in Dadeville, Ala., population 3,000.
FACT-O-RAMA! A mass shooting is when four or more people are shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation. Hence, when a transgender shooter killed three people — and himself — in 2017, it was not considered to be a mass shooting.
There are few details, but sources confirm that four people are dead and 20 are wounded, most of them teens. [Tweet] The shooting took place at the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio around 10:30 p.m.
FACT-O-RAMA! A reporter from Alexander City Outlook stated that the police were being “tight-lipped” regarding the identity

The facts in this case are even more repulsive than incidents involving men who insist they’re women usually are. A group of seven college girls in Wyoming is suing the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority for admitting a man who claims to be a woman into its chapter at the University of Wyoming, exposing the plaintiffs and their sorority sisters to his lewd behavior.
After a woman who claimed to be a man murdered six people in Nashville and trans activists menaced and assaulted women’s rights activist Riley Gaines at San Francisco State University, the plaintiffs requested anonymity. A federal judge, however, has now twice denied this request.

Los Angeles cannot be rid of district attorney George Gascón quickly enough. Two weeks after charging seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse with manslaughter in the case of a man who died from an overdose of methamphetamine, he now comes after two Torrance police officers for a shooting in which they had been cleared — with abundant justification — by his predecessor. Like the case involving the CHP, the one against the Torrance officers is unwinnable for the prosecution or would be in a just world.
But it is not a just world, and nowhere is it more unjust than in those jurisdictions where so-
Famed novelist and radical leftist Stephen King accidentally outed himself as a transphobe while attempting to virtue signal his support of abortion on Thursday, and I can’t stop laughing.
King, who used to write really good horror novels, regurgitated the old tired trope that if men could get pregnant, there would be no restrictions on abortion.
“It has been said before, but it bears repeating: if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament,” he wrote on Twitter. [Tweet] Now, King may have thought he was exposing the hypocrisy of anti-abortion arguments, which are frequently made by conservative men who will never have to face the physical and emotional toll of
Joe Biden is still in Ireland with his son Hunter and sister Valerie, going to visit various areas associated with his ancestors on our dime. He was in County Mayo on Friday.
I think he’s already set a record for how many embarrassing things he can do on a foreign trip. He laid down a festival of made-up stories during his remarks in Ireland. He told a weird story to little kids that couldn’t possibly have happened and had to have Hunter help him and correct him. He also told the Irish Parliament some stories that were a bunch of malarkey too.
But before he left Dublin he left the Irish
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) We’ve all lost count of the number of times I have exhorted Team Biden to not let Ol’ Joe off his leash too often. He’s an unfailing embarrassment to a once proud country. Heck, at this point our enemies are probably embarrassed that the United States can’t be taken seriously anymore. They’d probably like more of a challenge.
There are rumors that Joe Biden wants to run for reinstatement via the Magical Mail Ballot Machine reelection and subject the country to Sir Sniffsalot, the Sequel. It’s a frightening prospect, yet one I’m not too worried about for a variety of reasons. Chief

Budweiser has released a new patriotic advertisement as its parent company struggles with controversy over its endorsement partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The advertisement, which was released on social media Friday, features one of Budweiser’s famous Clydesdale horses traversing the country from New York City to the Grand Canyon, passing by scenes in the American heartland as a narrator delivers a patriotic message.
“This is a story bigger than beer,” the ad’s narrator says in the ad. “This is the story of the American spirit.”
As the ad plays, the Clydesdale horse passes by some of the most famous American landmarks, showcasing the New York City skyline,
At least four people have died following a mass shooting in small town Alabama, officials have confirmed - after gunfire erupted Saturday at a teen's Sweet 16 birthday celebration.
The shooting happened at 10:34pm Saturday at Mahogany Masterpiece dance studio in Dadeville, state officials handling the investigation said in an update Sunday, revealing there has been four confirmed fatalities.
After not addressing for more than 10 hours, investigators further confirmed there were multiple injured as a result of the incident, after witness accounts indicated at least 20 were shot - most of whom are believed to be teenagers.
Chicago's mayor-elect said the city should not demonize the teens who organized a 'Teen Takeover' of the Loop over the weekend, even after the event turned violent with cars burnt cars and minors shot.
Brandon Johnson, 47, said Sunday he does not 'condone the destructive activity' and that it's 'unacceptable and has no place' in Chicago, but that it should not be used as a way to vilify the group.
'However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,' said Johnson, a progressive Democrat.
A Trump–DeSantis Ticket Can Win in 2024

The Democratic Party and President Joe Biden are wrecking the country. Their ongoing economic blunders, perverse cultural agenda, and corrupt foreign policy, if unchecked in the near future, will turn the United States into a dystopian nightmare comparable to Venezuela. This can be averted if former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis run together on the 2024 Republican presidential ballot. Neither can win in 2024 without the other, even if the Democratic alternative is an unpopular incumbent whose running mate is a running joke.
The state of California is implementing full Marxism before our very eyes under the guise of “equity.” And so now there can be no possible doubt if there ever was for anyone: instituting Communism has been what “equity” initiatives have been about all along. Now three of its most powerful utility companies are saying that they’re going to charge based not on how much of their product was used, but on how much money the user makes.
In simpler times, if you bought something, you paid for it. Rich or poor, tall or short, black or white, female or male, wise or foolish, everyone paid the same amount for a product.
Mike Pompeo wisely opted out of the 2024 presidential primary this week, but if you were expecting Mike Pence to follow suit, you’re likely going to be disappointed. The former Veep showed up at an RNC donor summit in Tennessee last night and while he didn’t make an official announcement, he was going after the other primary contenders (including his former boss) and sounding very much like he will soon throw his hat in the ring.
U.S. climate czar John Kerry claimed in an interview on Sunday that “so much has been invested in clean energy that there can be no rolling back of moves to end carbon emissions,” according to an interview with the Associated Press.
Kerry claimed that if countries phase out petroleum-based fuels, the world can purportedly limit average global warming to 1.7 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
“We’re in a very different place than where we were a year ago, let alone two and three years ago,” Kerry said.
“But we’re not doing everything we said we’d do,”

Democrats, led by President Joe Biden, are making a big bet on Brandon Johnson.
They’re betting the Chicago that delegates and reporters pour into for their national presidential nominating convention in August 2024 will be helmed by a progressive, labor-friendly mayor whose policies are making the city a better place.They’re betting Johnson can help them tell a multicultural, multigenerational Democratic story that their geriatric presidential nominee can use as a springboard to energize young voters and win four more years in the White House.
And they’re betting their made-for-TV bash will go off without a hitch in a city that has a spotty record throwing these shindigs and a national reputation

Vice President Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance at an abortion rally in Los Angeles on Saturday, a day after the Supreme Court issued an administrative stay regarding restrictions on mifepristone, the drug used in about half of all abortions nationwide.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito granted a five-day pause on Friday after the Department of Justice requested the court intervene following a ruling by Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, which paused FDA approval of the abortion drug. In her remarks, Harris urged rallygoers to “stand up and fight,” describing the situation as a “critical moment” in U.S. history.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp certified the fraudulent and uncertifiable 2020 Election in Georgia. Then after doing that he somehow pulled off a 2022 primary win. Now he wants to create a new GOP Party that will eliminate permanently anyone threatening the Good Old Boys in the party.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp certified the 2020 Election in the state that was uncertifiable. Hundreds of thousands of ballots showed up after election day in 2020, giving Joe Biden the lead three days after the election by 12,000 votes. Kemp certified these results, no questions asked.

So yesterday, I spent two hours getting thoroughly depressed reading about trans legislation and court actions across the country and around the world.(snip)
In the end, I feel like there is so much more to just explaining how the world got to this point. Because making sense of this mess is going to require a deep dive into some ugly history.
In 2018, Psychology Today published an article summarizing trans research and what was happening in the culture that is truly shocking. (snip), a large minority of kids have developed a belief system whereby they, as a group, espouse that being a normal biological female or male is akin
Can We Do Anything About America’s Decline?
22 replies
Twenty-first-century America was on a trajectory of gradual decline—until it began to implode.
Was the accelerant the COVID-19 pandemic and unhinged lockdowns? Or was the catalyst the woke revolution fueled by the 2020 summer of exempted rioting, looting, arson, and violence? Or was it perhaps the deranged fixation on removing Donald Trump from the presidency and destroying the rule of law in the process? Or all that and more?
Now with the election of Joe Biden, what had been a fast-tracked decline has accelerated at such an astonishing rate we can scarcely recognize our country.
