Al Franken thinks he knows the Supreme
Court. Here's what he's missing
Posted By: Moritz55, 5/4/2023 7:02:44 AM
On Wednesday morning, Chief Justice John Roberts should get up, look into the mirror and declare "I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am an attractive person. I am fun to be with." That mantra from SNL's "Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley" seems appropriate after the former Smalley comedian (and former U.S. Senator) Al Franken has declared Roberts a "villain" and his Court "illegitimate" in the latest attack on the institution. Now that Franken has turned to a podcast as a public platform, the comforting sweaters are gone and the dark Stuart Smalley has emerged.

Liam Morrison was expecting a comment or two from his peers when he wore a t-shirt to Nichols Middle School (NMS) that said "There are only two genders." However, he says the response from his fellow classmates was overwhelmingly positive. "Everyone in my homeroom and everyone in my gym class had supported what I had done," he told Fox News Digital. Morrison, 12, added that no fellow student directly confronted him about the shirt or said it offended them or made them feel unsafe.
However, he was pulled out of gym class on March 21 and told to remove the shirt because several students and staff had reportedly complained.
Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines called out Democrat lawmakers who opposed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act on Thursday, accusing them of putting their political interests above their responsibilities as parents after the bill passed last month in the House with zero votes from Democrats. The partisan bill, which seeks to amend Title IX to prohibit schools that receive federal funding from allowing biological men from participating in women's sports, passed the House late in April with a 219-203 vote. All the "yes" votes came from Republicans, and all the "no" votes came from Democrats
One of the more frustrating consequences of the radical Left’s takeover of America’s big cities has been that the elected saboteurs are rarely, if ever, forced to answer for their destructive acts. Who will hold a deranged mayor accountable when the City Council, district attorney, and others all practice the same groupthink?
On that count, America owes Texas Governor Greg Abbott a debt of gratitude.
Since last summer, Abbott has been showing America the folly of sanctuary policies and the hypocrisy of those who support them. By sending buses of newly arrived illegal aliens to some of America’s major metropolitan centers, Abbott

CRT rips Navy's turn to drag queens for recruitment 7 replies
A former Space Force lieutenant colonel who was relieved of his command in 2021 after criticizing the rise of wokeness and critical race theory principles within the military sounded off on the U.S. Navy's latest recruitment strategy: showcasing drag performers. Matthew Lohmeier, who was commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron in Colorado before he made comments on a podcast critical of Marxism, told Fox News it is sad that whenever the U.S. military makes the news, it is for items like the drag-themed recruitment videos.
"These days, the American people see this and think this has become our military.

Joe Biden is a nostalgia president. He’s a link to the Obama era, of course.
But he’s also a living reminder of the days when Democrats were automatically the party of white ethnics, especially Irish Catholics. For senior white voters in the Democratic coalition, the professed Catholic and Irish-ish Biden is an older, lesser Kennedy — but an heir to JFK nonetheless.
Only now Biden has to contend with a real Kennedy for next year’s Democratic presidential nomination.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his bid not even two weeks ago and already polls at 20% in the Democratic race.
That’s partly a function of his famous name, of course.
The concerted effort by the media and Democrats to delegitimize the Supreme Court is the most consequential attack on our institutions in memory.
Make no mistake. Today’s “Supreme Court Ethics Reform” hearing is meant to discredit the high court and slander justices with innuendo. Nothing else. Democrats are angry because the court happens to occasionally uphold basic constitutional principles of American governance. Democrats are nervous that originalist justices are going to weaken the administrative state or hand power back to localities or protect religious liberty or gun rights.
The King James Bible, the most famous version of the world’s most influential book, was published on this day in history, May 2, 1611.
"The King James, or Authorized, Version of the Bible remains the most widely published text in the English language," claims the British Library.
Commissioned by King James I of England in 1604, it is famed for its artfully written versions of Old and New Testament tales; its success bringing the Word of God to English-speaking commoners; and its influence on the American colonies.
A Republican councilman in Indiana is going viral after writing on Facebook that he now identifies as a woman of color in an apparent effort to troll the left. Ryan Webb, a father of five who is married to his wife, Brandy, is currently a councilman for Delaware County, Indiana, according to his official account.
But he raised eyebrows after he announced his gender transition on Facebook, in a move that some conservative commentators are interpreting as a joke. Webb himself has said that he is holding up a "mirror to the political left" to expose the contradictions in gender ideology. "After much consideration I have decided
Conventional wisdom holds that last week’s vote by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to approve a debt limit and spending reduction bill is meaningless. Democrats called the legislation dead on arrival in the Senate, making whatever the House decides to do on its own irrelevant.
As with many things in Washington, the corporate media’s conventional wisdom is wrong. Approving a debt limit bill did more than dispel the narrative that the Republican House, and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., will remain perpetually in disarray. By eliminating one of the major elements of Democrats’ political argument, it raised questions about their own strategic endgame.
We start with the likely American landscape over the next two years.
Joe Biden has no choice but to focus on a purely negative message. So we already know his talking points for the next 18 months: “ultra MAGA” demons, “semi-fascist” insurrectionists, Trump!, Trump!, Trump!, and more Trump!, murdering fellow Americans by putting limits on partial-birth and early abortions, “censorship” as banning critical race theory indoctrination and grooming books, inciting racial tribalism, along with the corollary old boilerplate triad of isms—“fascism, sexism, and racism!”
There will be no Democratic primary debates, even if support for Robert Kennedy, Jr. surges to 25-30 percent of the Democratic electorate.
Opportunity is ripe for Republicans to win back the Senate next year – if they can land the candidates to pull it off.
The GOP needs a net gain of one or two seats to flip the chamber, depending on which party wins the White House in 2024, and it’s Democrats who are defending the tougher seats. Democrats hold seven of the 10 seats that CNN ranks as most likely to flip party control next year – and the top three are all in states former President Donald Trump carried twice.
But this spring’s recruitment season, coming on the heels of a midterm cycle marred by problematic GOP candidates, will likely

Democratic Senator John Fetterman blamed Dr. Mehmet Oz and the “vicious” 2022 campaign season for his ongoing battle with depression, RadarOnline.com has learned.

How's your depression?'” “Again, it's in remission,” he continued, “and I am
The CEO of Anheuser-Busch has unceremoniously disowned the disastrous Dylan Mulvaney stunt – insisting it was 'not a campaign' as a letter to retailers says it was 'just one can'.

The iconic burger chain said that underperforming stores will be the first to go.

Former Obama-era CIA Director Mike Morell and current Secretary of State Antony Blinken were recently exposed as being behind the infamous “intel letter” that sought to dismiss Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. Now, a new report is providing unassailable evidence of exactly what the motive behind the gambit was. According to The Washington Examiner, Morell sent a recruitment email to gather signatories for the letter. Notably, in the email, he admitted that the entire purpose was to give Joe Biden a rebuttal to Donald Trump’s attacks during the presidential debates.

The Biden-Harris administration has named Vice President Kamala Harris as the new A.I. head with the task of leading the government’s efforts to mitigate the risks and harness the opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) in America. This decision comes as part of the administration’s broader initiative to promote responsible innovation in AI and safeguard people’s rights and safety.
“AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time, but in order to seize the opportunities it presents, we must first mitigate its risks,” stated the White House press release on Thursday. “When it comes to AI, we must place people and communities at the center by supporting responsible innovation

Former White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci and teachers union boss Randi Weingarten are furiously trying to rewrite history on their role in promoting the disastrous school lockdowns that paralyzed the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic and left a generation of children behind.
"Show me a school that I shut down and show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did," Fauci told New York Times Magazine last month. "I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendation, and people made a decision based on that. But I never criticized the people who had to make the decisions
An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state.
Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis. Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.
Liberal Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor declined to recuse herself from multiple copyright infringement cases involving book publisher Penguin Random House despite having been paid millions by the firm for her books, making it by far her largest source of income, records show.
In 2010, she got a $1.2 million book advance from Knopf Doubleday Group, a part of the conglomerate. In 2012, she reported receiving two advance payments from the publisher totaling $1.9 million.
