There's a scene in the peerless animated comedy Monsters Inc.—a cable-news special report featuring Dr. Frasenberger, who looks like a giant pencil. “It is my professional opinion,” he begins calmly, “that now is the time…TO PANIC!!!!!” If I were a Democrat today, or a Never Trumper, I would be Dr. Frasenberger.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is planning to spend a $100 million war chest taking out Democrats who are viciously anti-Israel.
According to a report from Politico, AIPAC has set its sights on various anti-Zionist candidates across both the House and Senate as tensions and opposition to Israel's military campaign against Hamas grow within the far-left wing of the Democratic Party: AIPAC is expected to spend $100 million across its political entities in 2024, taking aim at candidates they deem insufficiently supportive of Israel, according to three people with direct knowledge of the figure, who were granted anonymity to discuss private meetings. The strategy has taken on new urgency
Pro-Beijing groups financially backed by two China-linked billionaires are pushing the radical transgender movement as a means of advancing a Marxist agenda in the United States, seven-time New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.
In Blood Money, Schweizer, who is a Breitbart News senior contributor and the president of the Government Accountability Institute, reveals China’s multi-pronged, covert attack on America. In Chapter 6, called “Destabilizing Democracy,” Schweizer explores how two billionaires, China-based American Neville Roy Singham and Alibaba co-founder Joseph Tsai, prop up radical activists groups
The US Supreme Court ordered former President Donald Trump back on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado on Monday, the day before the Centennial State and 14 others pick their Republican nominees for president.
The unanimous ruling also overturns disqualification orders handed down by officials and judges in Maine and Illinois in recent weeks. The unsigned order found that only Congress, not individual states, can disqualify candidates for federal office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known colloquially as the Insurrection Clause or the Disqualification Clause.
“The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court … cannot stand,” the order read. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
Democrats and other NeverTrumpers are trying their best to keep Donald Trump off the Republican primary ballot in several states. Their best is not good enough, according to the Supreme Court.
If you have not done so, go and read Ed's write-up on the Court's decision.
The left is in meltdown mode. Everyone else is feeling validated for understanding that every state must follow the Constitution.
The Supremes ruled unanimously that Donald Trump may not be taken off the Colorado primary ballot. This is a timely decision given that Colorado is one of the states that votes on Super Tuesday, which is tomorrow. The Court needed to rule unanimously
UNITED NATIONS, - A team of United Nations experts reported on Monday that there were "reasonable grounds to believe" sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, occurred at several locations during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas militants.
The team - led by U.N. special envoy for sexual violence in conflict Pramila Patten - visited Israel between Jan. 29 and Feb. 14 on a mission intended to gather, analyze and verify information on sexual violence linked to the Oct. 7 attacks. "Credible circumstantial information, which may be indicative of some forms of sexual violence, including genital mutilation, sexualized torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, was also gathered,"
This topic comes up frequently enough that it bears consideration, and even perhaps multiple considerations between now and the Democrat convention in Chicago, which is scheduled for the third week in August.
Assuming Biden is still in the race until then, that is.
I lean heavily toward the view that Biden will remain the candidate, barring a health crisis. At the same time, Steve Hayward over at Powerline indicates that he believes the word has gone out to the MSM that taking Biden out is a priority. Which, to be fair, is not the same as predicting Biden will be replaced, as he
Former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said in an interview released Sunday that he never had any conversations with President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris when he worked in their administration.
Ortiz appeared on CBS’s 60 Minutes on Sunday to discuss the illegal-immigration crisis at the Southern border and the dispute between Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) and the Biden administration over border enforcement.
“I’ve never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter. That’s a problem,” Ortiz said. He was Border Patrol chief under Biden and deputy chief under former president Donald Trump before retiring last year.
As Super Tuesday makes an historic rematch all but official, voters are comparing not just two presidents, but two presidencies.
And right now former President Donald Trump emerges from that comparison as the frontrunner. He leads President Biden by four points nationally, his largest lead to date. Here's why:
Voters recall the economy under Trump more fondly than they rate the economy now. (For the record, in 2019 people did indeed rate the economy well, but views cratered in Trump's last year in office, during the pandemic.) This is the case, despite the fact that views of today's economy keep inching up.
That's not helping Mr. Biden yet
Gee, who could have guessed that defunding the police in your city would cause problems?
Well, residents of Austin, Texas, have discovered just that the hard way. The city has been plagued by police staffing shortages and longer 911-call response times since the Austin City Council voted to defund the police department in 2020.
Last week, the shortages resulted in a section of the city being completely without any police officers for a few hours.
"Previous councils and leadership have actively worked against our officers and department, which has now put us in a free-falling staffing crisis,"
Just when the White House thought the worst had passed regarding The New York Times' disastrous poll for Joe Biden, Sunday morning brought us the second half of the equation. In the first release, the survey showed Donald Trump leading the current president by five points. That led to a bout of cross-tab "truther-ism" in which liberals showed they have no idea how polling works. Whatever penchant Republicans had for dismissing or trying to "un-skew" polls in past cycles, Democrats have firmly taken up that mantle, and it's hilarious to see. Astonishingly, the second half of the Times' results may be worse than what came out on Saturday. Specifically, Biden

A new find of underground helium in Minnesota could turn out to be one of the largest in the world, Minneapolis’s WCCO-TV reported Thursday.
The drill site, just outside Babbitt in the northeastern part of the state, took about a month from initially breaking ground to get to a depth of 2,200 feet.
What it found there, Pulsar Helium CEO Thomas Abraham-James called “a dream.” “There was a lot of screaming, a lot of hugging and high fives. It’s nice to know the efforts all worked out and we pulled it off,” Abraham-James told WCCO.
He said that the concentration of helium sampled was 12.4 percent — about 30 times

The Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump is eligible to run for office, overturning the Colorado Supreme Court decision that found him ineligible as a candidate and disqualified from the state ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
“[R]esponsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the per curiam order reads. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
The order was issued on March 4, just a day before more than a dozen states hold their primary elections.
As many as 600 teenagers, most of them black, rioted Saturday night at Six Flags Over Georgia. At least one teen was shot
Cobb County officers said between 500-600 teens were “running through the park and fighting.” At one point th crowd opened fire on officers as they ran onto Six Flags Parkway.
At some point, “multiple people began shooting, hitting an unoccupied CCPD marked patrol car,” according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
“As officers identified where the shots were coming from, they ran after people who had run into the woods. During the incident, one CCPD officer fired his weapon, hitting one minor,” according to the GBI.
California, which is in a state of perpetually self-inflicted drought, restricts all sorts of practical water solutions (because) they would hurt some living creature somewhere. (People, especially farmers, don’t count.) And along the way the state decided to demolish a dam to help some salmon. (snip)
$500 million was spent to make California a worse place. For human beings. And for salmon too.
Hundreds of thousands of young salmon are believed to have died this week at the site of a historic dam removal project on the Klamath River, after an effort to restore salmon runs on the newly unconstrained river went awry, the Chronicle has learned.
Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has made clear his intention to make America's elections less secure, describing efforts to secure them as "burdensome and unnecessary." Garland made the remarks at the Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama, during a commemoration of 'Bloody Sunday' when civil rights protesters were brutally attacked by police.
He also accused federal courts of weakening the 1965 Voting Rights Act by allowing various common sense voting restrictions such as presenting identification on arrival.
He explained: "Since those decisions, there has been a dramatic increase in legislative measures that make it harder for millions of eligible voters to vote
Bernie Moreno, who is running in the hotly contested Republican primary for the Ohio Senate seat currently held by radical Democrat Sherrod Brown, claims to be pro-Second Amendment. It says it right there on his website, where he claims he will "Vigorously defend our constitutional rights, especially the Second Amendment." How, then, to explain him mocking gun owners and calling for universal background checks in a 2019 podcast?
Moreno, who former President Trump has endorsed, joined Michael Hudak on his podcast "Fortify Your Data," the conversation veered toward political issues. Moreno was the first to bring up guns.
"On the gun debate, we can't say this is how many magazines

threatens to sue unless first son pays
back $1 million 23 replies
Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for its employee, Dr. Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.
Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.
Trump’s Promise -– Retribution or Revenge?
23 replies
Former President Donald Trump is cruising toward the GOP nomination. (snip) An NBC News headline last week revealed palpable fear:
Fight or flight: Fearful Trump critics weigh the risk of retribution if he’s reelected. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and family wonder if they will have to flee the country if Trump is reelected. (snip) Retribution is a form of punishment imposed by law and legally authorized.
Revenge, in contrast, is a form of personal punishment, one not sanctioned by law.
The ultimate goal of Retribution is to punish the wrongdoer or offender and ensure that justice is served to the victim and public as a whole.

Former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley finally got a win Sunday night in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, claiming the Washington, D.C. primary by a 63-33 margin and thereby earning 19 delegates. It's a nice victory for Haley, but she still trails former President Donald Trump's delegate count by 244-43.
She took to social media to celebrate her win: (X) She faced good odds in D.C.:
Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged to challenge what he called voting restrictions implemented by Republican lawmakers that he said were “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.”
Garland spoke alongside Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday in Selma, Alabama, at the city’s 59th anniversary of the 1965 civil rights event dubbed “Bloody Sunday,” the day when Alabama police officers beat up voting rights demonstrators protesting in 1965. There, Garland brought up the history of black voting rights, claiming that the “right to vote is still under attack.”
The sale of the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve is among the provisions intended to raise funds in one of six bills setting out appropriations for some federal departments this year after Congress narrowly avoided another shutdown last week.

Why GA Judge Won’t Disqualify Fani Willis
21 replies
Any rational person familiar with the behavior of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during the prosecutorial misconduct hearings that finally ended last Friday has probably concluded that her conduct has created the “appearance of impropriety.” This, according to defense lawyers for former President Trump and several co-defendants, is sufficient to disqualify Willis and the Fulton County DA’s office from prosecuting the RICO case they launched last August. Indeed, defense attorney Harry MacDougald cited six examples of actual conflicts of interest, any one of which is sufficient to disqualify Willis and her office. Yet it’s unlikely that it will happen.
