After Justice Barrett completely humiliated Justice Jackson—joined by every justice other than Jackson’s partners in anarchy, Sotomayor and Kagan—for describing constitutional jurisprudence as “boring ‘legalese’” and proclaiming an “imperial judiciary,” it seems timely, especially with a radical, socialist, Muslim mayoral candidate now the overwhelming favorite to govern the nation’s largest city, that we better understand the limits of the judicial branch, and conversely, the power of the executive. Even though we still argue at the fringes of constitutional meaning, the Constitution itself uses language that couldn’t be clearer

So, it says "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government..." So, send in troops to eliminate all Democrat state governments, and replace them with Republican state governments. Clearly this is required by the Constitution.

#1, Sounds good to me. The DemoRoids claim that this is destroying democracy will be true, but fall on deaf ears, as we don't have a democracy. We have a representative Republic, with representative democratically elected.

What the hell is wrong with people? If you felt compelled to cheer the “not guilty” verdicts against Diddy, there’s something wrong with you. There’s something wrong with a lot of people, as morons reportedly poured baby oil over themselves outside the courtroom as the verdict was read, demonstrating that our culture is in an endless, accelerating cycle of rot. There is no reason for you to have ever heard the name Karen Read, unless you know her. But you probably don’t know her, yet you have heard her name. She ran over her fiancé and killed him, maybe she was drunk, maybe she wasn’t, I didn’t follow it that closely.
Legacy Media Has Huge Meltdown at Trump's
Victory Over CBS

As we reported on Wednesday, Donald Trump just scored a massive victory over the legacy media, and the fallout is nothing short of spectacular. For years, the left-wing press has operated on the assumption they could smear, distort, and outright fabricate without ever being held accountable — especially when it came to Trump. But CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global, have agreed to pay an eight-figure settlement to Trump for their deceptive editing of an interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. And now the left-wing media establishment is in full meltdown mode. CNN’s Brian Stelter, for example, was visibly frustrated over the settlement,

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen witnessed the Hosseini Infants Ceremony, where hundreds of women hold their babies into the air to show they are willing to offer their children to God and Imam Hossein. The annual ceremony in Tehran honors Ali Asghar, the six-month-old son of Imam Hussein, who was killed during the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. Held on the first Friday of Muharram, it began in 2003 at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla Mosque and has since expanded to over 8,500 gatherings across Iran and 45 other countries. Mothers dress their babies in symbolic green and white garments,

I used to think that one day, the Left would snap out of it and begin acting in a civilized manner again. Opinions are fine, disagreement is fine, and outrage is fine. But somehow, those on the Left keep finding sub-basements under rock-bottom. Many of you know I was raised a Democrat, and there is a mythology that comes with that upbringing. I’m not talking about the trinity of JFK, MLK, and RFK, although that certainly loomed large in my youth. A whole Arthurian romance sprang up around progressivism, which has become unbelievably vicious in the 21st century. Every thinking person could get behind the Civil Rights Movement

The Senate, during a vote-a-rama on the One Big Beautiful Bill on Monday afternoon, failed to include a provision that would end illegal aliens from fraudulently receiving Medicaid benefits. One Republican, RINO Susan Collins of Maine, actually voted for illegal aliens to continue receiving Medicaid benefits! Four Democrats voted in favor of the Motion. Per Townhall, the vote to remove illegals from Medicaid failed by a margin of 56-44. Removing illegals from Medicaid benefits was one of the key provisions in the bill that the unelected Senate Parliamentarian rejected by applying the “Byrd Rule.”

We’ve previously covered Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA Inc., yet it somehow manages to be worse than we initially thought. I think we can easily say that her dissent proves that she’s not a serious member of the Supreme Court. In the recent case concerning birthright citizenship and nationwide injunctions, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered a majority opinion grounded in the Constitution and centuries of precedent, Jackson’s dissent veered into the realm of the absurd. Instead of offering a rigorous legal argument
Mamdani Declares: Billionaires Have No

New York City’s wealthy elite and business leaders are sounding the alarm after Democrat mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani secured a spot on the 2026 ballot. The reason? Mamdani is a self-proclaimed socialist who openly argues that billionaires shouldn’t exist. He champions radical policies, such as government-run grocery stores, free housing, and universal healthcare—ideas that would expand state control and increase public dependency. Now, with Mamdani on the rise, the city is bracing for a potential “exodus of billionaires” and a chilling effect on investment and economic growth.

On Christmas Day in 1989, the people of Romania held a long-awaited ceremony that was more joyous than any Nativity had been in decades. They held a spontaneous trial of President Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena, found them guilty of capital crimes against the Romanian people, and sentenced them to death. There was no shortage of volunteers for the firing squad, and those lucky enough to be chosen didn’t wait for the order to fire: they riddled the Ceaușescu’s bodies with more than one hundred bullets. The story of how the dictatorial couple met their end has important lessons for those wondering about the fate of today’s Iranian

Whereas the general modus operandi in legacy media is to smear RFK Jr. as an “anti-vaxxer” within the first sentence, the Washington Post courteously waited until the second paragraph to label RFK Jr. a “vaccine misinformation” spreader on its way to condemning him for cutting federal funding to Bill Gates’ global “vaccine alliance,” GAVI. The United States will halt its contributions to Gavi, the global alliance that works to expand access to vaccines for children in some of the world’s poorest countries, said Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Wednesday — a move that public health experts said would have deadly consequences.

Operation Midnight Hammer was a resounding success. It crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It’s now a fact. With Israel securing total air supremacy, the odds of this being a successful military operation were significantly high. Our B-2 Bomber fleet carried out its run, delivered its target packages, and left. The Democrats’ reaction has been revolting or bordering on treasonous. Some sound as if they’re upset Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, lost its capacity to build nukes. Isn’t that what we all wanted? They chirped about illegal wars, which fell flat because we all remember Obama’s wars. Then, they clung to this low-confidence, preliminary, and unreliable intelligence estimate

This is a fair question from Matt Continetti, who recites some of the relevant quotations before posing it. I'll add to the list. President Bill Clinton described a nuclearlzed Iran as intolerable and signed the Iran Nonproliferation Act of 2000, "which authorize[d] him to take punitive action against individuals or organizations known to be providing material aid to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in Iran." President George W. Bush intoned in 2008 that "permitting the world’s leading sponsor of terror to possess the world’s deadliest weapon would be an unforgivable betrayal of future generations."

DC Judge Allows All Illegal Migrants to
Seek Asylum, Halting Deportation

Posted by ladydawgfan 7/2/2025 5:27:00 PM Post Reply
President Donald Trump must allow illegal migrants to file for asylum, regardless of the impact on his mandate to raise deportation rates, says a district court judge in Washington, D.C. The administration must also “provide relief” to recently deported migrants who may want to file for asylum in the United States, the Wednesday judgment says. The ruling by Judge Randolph Moss may crash Trump’s deportation policy because it would force officials to release migrants, or detain them at great expense while judges consider asylum pleas. The judgment will be appealed, but it argues that the pro-asylum laws passed by Congress decades ago override Trump’s January 20 proclamation, “Guaranteeing the States Protection Against Invasion.”
Bombshell CIA Report Exposes How Obama’s

The new CIA assessment released this week is nothing short of a bombshell—a long-overdue confirmation of what conservative media has been saying for years: The Obama administration, with the eager help of its top intelligence brass, orchestrated an unprecedented operation to cripple Donald Trump’s presidency before it even began. This isn’t some fevered speculation or partisan rumor. The CIA’s own review lays out, in damning detail, how former CIA Director John Brennan, former DNI James Clapper, and former FBI Director James Comey took “unusual” and direct control over the infamous Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that became the cornerstone of the Russia collusion hoax.

Zohran Mamdani was officially certified as the winner of the June 24 New York City Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday. He defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on his way to a victory that is still sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party establishment and beyond. Now, the debate rages over who Mamdani really is. Is he antisemitic or just pro-Palestinian? Is he anti-ICE or just pro-immigrant? However, one thing seems to be increasingly clear. Mamdani is a serious Marxist and that should concern anyone in New York City.

Twenty-four House Democrats have called on the Trump administration to close down “Alligator Alcatraz,” a brand-new illegal alien detention facility built in the Florida Everglades. Led by Democratic Reps. Janelle Bynum (OR) and Maxwell Frost (FL), the House Democrats demanded that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Todd Lyons shut the facility down. In the letter, the lawmakers called the facility an “inhumane stunt.” “This remote swamp is notorious for oppressive heat, relentless humidity, severe storms, and perilous terrain infested with venomous snakes, disease-carrying insects, and large predatory wildlife, including alligators and crocodiles,” they wrote.

If you thought the spectacle of Biden behind a podium was a thing of the past, think again. This week, the former president emerged from his Delaware cocoon to deliver the keynote at the Society for Human Resource Management’s convention in San Diego. A couple of months ago, it was revealed that he was having trouble booking speaking gigs — probably because no one was going to fork over the $300,000 speaking fee reportedly attached to his name. The Society for Human Resource Management must have had a Groupon code. So what kind of wisdom did Ol’ Joe share? Biden was asked about what he’s doing these days. His answer?

If you want to understand the full scope of the Biden administration’s border catastrophe, look no further than the horrifying reality that unfolded for thousands of migrant children. Under Joe Biden, the federal government didn’t just lose track of unaccompanied minors; it actively handed them over to criminals, abusers, and traffickers, putting these kids directly in harm’s way. Under Biden, the Department of Homeland Security placed unaccompanied migrant children with so-called “sponsors” who were barely vetted, if at all. These weren’t just distant relatives or family friends. In many cases, these sponsors had rap sheets a mile long — charges ranging from aggravated assault

A new CIA assessment was released on Wednesday that shows how far the Obama administration went to stand up the Russian collusion hoax. John Ratcliffe announced that "all the world will finally see the truth" before name-dropping James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey as those primarily implicated in the scheme. All three men took "unusual" direct roles in shaping the now-infamous ICA that was released during the presidential transition following the 2016 election. It was that report that would form the building block of the Russian collusion narrative and eventually lead to a special counsel investigation.

State Representative Justin Jones (D-Nashville) on Monday filed legislation that would establish a new criminal offense for law enforcement officers, including federal agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to wear face masks when dealing with the public. Titled the Stop American Gestapo Act (SAGA), the Democrat’s House Bill (HB) 1442 would make it a Class C misdemeanor in Tennessee for law enforcement officers, including federal agents, to “wear a mask, face covering, or personal disguise while interacting with the public in the performance of the law enforcement officer’s official duties.” The Nashville Democrat included minor exceptions

The Pentagon has halted shipments of some previously promised munitions to Ukraine at a key juncture of the country’s war with neighboring Russia due to the depletion of U.S. stockpiles during the Biden administration. In news that was first reported by Politico, the decision was made after a review of munitions stockpiles “leading to concerns that the total number of artillery rounds, air defense missiles and precision munitions was sinking,” according to the usual anonymous sources of “three people familiar with the issue.” The decision was driven by Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, an appointee of President Donald J.

The great thing about what's being referred to as "Alligator Alcatraz" is that it's not just a fantastic detention facility for illegal immigrants ready for deportation, situated out in the Florida Everglades where you're more likely to run into a predatory creature all the way from the Triassic period than a human, but it's also a meme. How could something that awesome not be? The facility is one accidental open door away from being a Michael Crichton book, encouraging everyone there to stay put to stay safe, and while everyone else thinks this is one of the coolest things in America now, the left is doing what it does
