My home state of California is Bizzarroland, totally over the edge. It was bad enough, but now it has crossed the Rubicon and blown up the bridge and burned the boats. The Golden State is set to take away parental rights and create a police state where a court and judge must (not may) affirm a child’s chosen made-up gender “identity.” But that same California requires permission for a minor to get a tattoo. Make sense of it. I can’t. Soon in California, if the Democrat super-majority gets its way, confused children can be taken from a parent(s) and chemically castrated and mutilated at the minor’s request.

Special Counsel Jack Smith was likely waiting on the Supreme Court's decision on the "independent state legislature theory" before deciding to proceed with charges against the former president over Jan. 6, a conservative former judge has said. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court shot down the controversial independent state legislature theory, which would have had the potential to radically change the way elections are run across the country. According to the fringe legal theory, legislatures have exclusive and near-absolute power in setting the rules of federal elections, without being challenged by state courts. But a majority of justices voted to reaffirm that state courts can curtail the actions

Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night questioned once again why the United States was involved in the Ukraine war - and accused President Volodymyr Zelensky of veering towards dictatorship for refusing to hold elections while the country is at war.
Carlson, in his 'Tucker on Twitter' monologue, which has replaced his nightly Fox News show, said Ukraine's war was 'pointless' and that Joe Biden was 'wasting' billions of dollars to 'repay its debts to the oligarchs who finance their beach house in Rehoboth' - a reference to Hunter Biden's lucrative work in Ukraine from 2014.
