Who Really Are the Lawless and the Dictatorial?
Posted By: Moritz55, 6/2/2025 3:41:05 PM
The left is in its usual sanctimonious but schizophrenic mood. The media claims daily that the Trump administration has usurped power. It is supposedly destroying democracy. It tramples on the rule of law and thus has created a virtual dictatorship. Yet at the same time, Democrats high-five the most recent district court judge who has put a stop to the current Trump executive orders—which the Trump administration abides by as it files appeals. There are two clear conclusions from the flurry of the lower-court liberal justices’ orders: 1) Trump has obeyed their record number of interventions as the appeals go forward; and 2) rarely in the history of the republic

Winston Churchill once warned that “appeasement is feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last.” When it comes to the crocodile of censorship, history is strewn with defenders who later became digestives. Censorship produces an insatiable appetite for greater and greater speech limits, and today’s censorship supporters often become tomorrow’s censored subjects.
This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stopped feeding the crocodile. On May 28, 2025, Rubio shocked many of our allies by issuing a new visa restriction policy that bars foreign nationals deemed “responsible for censorship of protected expression” in the U.S.
The new policy follows a major address by Vice President J.D. Vance in Munich

The Blatant Lie of Germany’s Elite

Germany’s self-proclaimed democracy defenders are at it again: blocking a law-abiding party from exercising its rights—all in the name of protecting democracy.
The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), a pro-free market, anti-EU, anti-mass migration party, placed second in Germany’s recent parliamentary elections, earning nearly 21 percent of the vote to the top vote-getter’s, the Christian Democratic Union’s, 28 percent. The AfD placed well ahead of the once-dominant Social Democratic Party (16 percent) and the Greens (11 percent).
Buried within the 1,100-page bill recently passed by the House of Representatives—the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" that reflects President Trump's priorities—are several provisions that, if enacted into law, could return the U.S. energy sector to a more capitalistic model.
President Joe Biden, with strong backing from environmental lobbyists and a last-minute defection from West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, pushed through the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill. These measures allocated billions of dollars in federal credits and loan guarantees to favored industries, all under the banner of environmental protection.
This week, the Supreme Court continued to deliberate over what to do with the growing number of national or universal injunctions issued by federal district courts against the Trump Administration.
The court has long failed to address the problem, and what I call “chronic injunctivitis” is now raging across the court system. Justices have only worsened the condition with conflicting and at times incomprehensible opinions. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have long argued that federal judges are out of control in issuing national injunctions that freeze the entire executive branch for years on a given policy. For presidents, you have to effectively sweep the district courts 677-to-0
On Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day, the civic holy day we set aside each year to commemorate those who died fighting our wars. It is a day for somber reflection of the sacrifice — more than 1 million service members — that has been made over the course of our nation’s history.
This commemoration began on June 3, 1861, when the then recently dug grave of John Quincy Marr, a captain in the Virginia militia and the first combat fatality in the Civil War, was decorated in Warrenton, Virginia. Marr had been killed two days earlier at the Battle of Fairfax Courthouse.
The practice of decorating the graves of their honored
Democrats actively oppose the Trump administration’s efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, despite the administration’s focus on those with criminal histories.
To support their opposition, Democrats frequently claim, almost as an article of faith, that illegal immigrants are less prone to commit crime. “The crime rate among immigrants is far lower than the crime rate among native-born Americans,” New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler asserted confidently. “So the whole issue is wrong.”
“Immigrants commit crimes in this country at a rate lower than natural-born citizens,” added Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy. “So, if you want a safe town or a safe neighborhood, you are better off if you have immigrants.”
Canada is conducting "high level" talks with the United States over joining President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense program, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Wednesday.
Trump announced his plans the previous day to develop the multilayered, $175 billion (€155 billion) system with ground- and space-based capabilities that can defend against a wide range of enemy weapons, like drones, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The US President said he expected the missile shield to be ready by the end of his second term in 2029.
A man and a woman were shot and killed in front of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington on Wednesday night, NBC reported.
According to the report, the shooting took place in front of the museum and behind the FBI field office and the US attorney's office. The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident, NBC added. The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force is currently investigating the incident, NBC added. At least one of the people shot is believed to be a member of the Israeli embassy staff, according to reports from US media.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration's reorganization of what he calls the U.S. "foreign aid industrial complex" during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday.
Rubio said previously at USAID, "only 12 cents of every dollar was reaching the recipient."
"We still will provide more foreign aid, more humanitarian support, than the next 10 countries combined... and far more than China," he said, disputing the argument that the U.S. is handing over soft power to China by cutting foreign aid. "China doesn’t do humanitarian aid. China does predatory lending."
As the anatomy of the great Joe Biden cover-up emerges, one dark figure stands menacingly taller than the rest.
That would be Vogue cover girl Dr. Jill Biden, who is starting to look more like Dr. Evil — a cartoonishly terrible, power-hungry and reckless movie villain — every day.
This week, as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s devastating book “Original Sin” detailing the Dems’ elaborate cover-up of the 46th president’s infirmity as he ran — or, ahem, as he was run — for a second shot at the White House, Biden dropped a bombshell prostate cancer diagnosis.
A favorite Lily Tomlin line was made for this moment: “No matter how cynical you get, it is impossible to keep up.”
She could have been talking about the Biden White House.
Those of us who were long convinced that aides were hiding the president’s cognitive decline weren’t cynical enough. We also needed to believe they were hiding other serious ailments, such as prostate cancer.
Hmm, what else didn’t we suspect that we should have?
Whatever it is, the odds are soaring that we are going to find out.

It’s always refreshing when history’s most ironic voices pop up for a cameo.
Yes, THAT Bill Clinton.

Like a washed-up frontman from a ‘90s boy band schooling today’s stars on stage presence, Bill Clinton has returned to the spotlight with a hot take: Joe Biden was a good president, and Donald Trump is destroying America’s legacy.
President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are to blame for Sunday’s Boulder, Colorado terror attack, according to leftist pundit Keith Olbermann, who claimed the administration’s immigration crackdown is “merely to satiate the sadism of Trump and Miller and the psychopaths who support them,” calling it a performance and “a preliminary to ethnic cleansing in this country.”
On Tuesday, former sports analyst and left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann unleashed a fiery tirade against President Trump in a promo for the new episode of his Countdown podcast, claiming Trump and his allies are directly responsible for the recent terror attack in Boulder.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the U.S. Navy to rename a ship honoring a San Francisco gay rights icon to something less ridiculous. A memo from Hegseth to Navy Secretary John Phelan directed that the Military Sealift Command underway replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk have its current name stricken. The memo indicates this will be the first of a wholesale renaming of the "John Lewis" class of logistics ships to ensure "alignment with president and SECDEF objectives and SECNAV priorities of reestablishing the warrior culture." According to ABC, "A defense official said the timing of the decision was intentional."
A resolution to be debated by the Metro Nashville Council this week to recognize “Immigrant Heritage Month” also condemns last month’s joint operation between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Tennessee Highway Patrol conducted in the city, which saw the arrests of 196 criminal illegal aliens.
The resolution, RS2025-1291, was filed on May 27 and is sponsored by Council Members Terry Vo, Jeff Preptit, Jennifer Gamble, Joy Styles, Antoinette Lee, Kyonzte Toombs, Brandon Taylor, Delishia Porterfield, Zulfat Suara, and Tasha Ellis.
The resolution begins by detailing the origins of Immigrant Heritage Month, explaining how the designation was started in 2014
Elon Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, on Tuesday dismissed President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” he said in a post on X.
“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added.
Musk’s comments on Tuesday represent an even harsher reaction to the bill than his previous criticisms. He had previously said he was “disappointed”

The federal government cannot invalidate immigration documents that allow roughly 5,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States to remain in the country until October 2026, a federal court in California ruled on May 30.
In February, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated Venezuela’s 2023 designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a temporary immigration status granted when foreign nationals cannot return to their home countries because of safety concerns, such as ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or epidemics.
A TPS designation protects individuals from deportation and allows them to apply for authorization to work in the United States.
Federal agents have arrested a University of Michigan scholar from China on charges she tried to smuggle a biological pathogen into the United States characterized as a potential agricultural terrorism weapon that can be used for targeting food crops.The FBI counterintelligence case against UM scholar Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Zunyong Liu, was unsealed in federal court in Detroit on Tuesday and marks the second time in less than a week a Chinese national with ties to the university has been charged with federal crimes.
Ukraine said on Tuesday that it had hit the bridge connecting Russia and the occupied Crimean Peninsula with explosives planted underwater, in its third attack on the vital supply line for Moscow’s forces since the full-scale war began in 2022. Ukraine’s security service, the SBU, said on Telegram that its agents had mined the piers of the road and rail Crimean Bridge, also called the Kerch Bridge, and detonated the first explosive at 4.44 a.m. Tuesday. The whole operation took several months, it added.
The agency said it had used 1,100 kilograms of explosives which “severely damaged” the underwater pillars supporting the bridge.
Tim Walz: Trump ‘understands belonging’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) argued in a recent podcast appearance that part of President Trump’s strength lies in his ability to foster a sense of community, especially among young men. The comments from Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 running mate, came during an appearance on the “Grounded” podcast hosted by former Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and journalist Maritsa Georgiou. Asked by Georgiou about the GOP’s efforts to reach high school students, Walz noted Trump has excelled in reaching Americans who might feel disconnected from one another in an increasingly fragmented society.
Former Acting US Secret Service Director Ron Rowe has finally resigned from the agency.
Earlier this year President Trump announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director.
Ron Rowe who served as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned last summer remained on payroll as a “senior advisor” for several months.
Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign.
Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Hmmm: Cornyn on the Ropes in Texas?

It may seem a bit early to start gaming the 2026 midterm elections, but not for Senate races -- and perhaps especially in Texas, where even a deep-red electorate has its issues with its own incumbents. John Cornyn recently tried to move up the Senate Republican leadership ladder after the retirement of Mitch McConnell, eventually losing to John Thune for Majority Leader. That may not be Cornyn's last loss, according to a new poll out from UpOne Insights and GOP pollster Robert Blizzard. Texas AG Ken Paxton announced a primary challenge against the 73-year-old four-term incumbent, and Blizzard's poll of 600 registered Republican voters shows Cornyn down
The World Shuns Renewable Energy

The net-zero zealots want to force a worldwide renewable energy transition. But they don’t always get their way. Their fanciful projects have been blocked more than 1,000 times globally. In a world seemingly gone mad, this is welcome news.
“The total number of alt-energy rejections or restrictions now exceeds 1,000 — it’s 1,011 to be exact,” says energy author Robert Bryce, who operates a database that shows 814 U.S rejections of solar, wind and battery projects. Add those to others across the world and the total exceeds a grand.
“The rejections keep coming,” says Bryce. “Since the beginning of May,
