The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the new “Star Wars” movies under Disney’s watch are “mediocre and schlocky.”
“That is like George Lucas promising no more mediocre and schlocky ‘Star Wars’ sequels shortly after selling the franchise to Disney,” the summary from Judge Kenneth K. Lee read on Tuesday about the sequels in the “Star Wars” franchise. “Such a promise would be illusory.”
The comments were noted by the director of litigation with the Hamilton Lincoln Law institute, Ted Frank, in a post on Twitter.
“[T]he Ninth Circuit makes it official, holding that, as a matter of law

A book about Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, has been scrubbed from major online retailers after it made headlines earlier on Wednesday.
Expect the Unexpected: Ten Lessons on Truth, Service, and the Way Forward, an 80-page book about Fauci's response to the coronavirus pandemic, was removed from both Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's stores on the internet, a review by the Washington Examiner found.
The book, which retailed at $18 for preorders, was listed as being set for release on Nov. 2. However, National Geographic Books, which said it developed the book in connection with an upcoming National Geographic Documentary Film

Hopefully, Dallas Fed chief Robert Kaplan just wants to perform some overzealous expectations-setting ahead of the May jobs report due on Friday. But … probably not, considering the fundamentals haven’t changed from April’s stunning bust. “All those tensions,” Kaplan told a tech conference, “they’re not actually going to go away even for the next jobs report.”
Joe Biden hardest hit? Politico thinks so:
Businesses say they can’t find enough workers to hire. The pace of Americans moving off the unemployment rolls is slowing. And a top Federal Reserve official is warning that job trends in May might look “odd.”

Joe Biden lied his head off about Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) when talking about why he hadn’t been able to pass his voting agenda bill. “I hear all the folks on TV saying: ‘Why doesn’t Biden get this done,'” Biden said. “Well, because Biden only has a majority of effectively four votes in the House, and a tie in Senate, with two members of the Senate who vote more with my Republican friends.”
This isn’t even close to being true. The two senators actually have voted with him 100% of the time, as I previously reported.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is getting roasted all over social media after the Washington Post and BuzzFeed released scores of his emails, obtained through FOIA requests. The ones that aren’t heavily redacted tell quite a story. It should come as no surprise to readers of PJ Media that Dr. Fauci didn’t believe the line of crap he sold us about wearing “the typical mask you buy in the drugstore” to protect us from the virus—at least he didn’t in Feb. 2020.
“Masks are really for infected people to protect them from spreading infection

Israeli health officials have found a “possible link” between the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine and hundreds of cases of myocarditis in young men, the government announced Wednesday.
"There is some probability for a possible link between the second vaccine dose and the onset of myocarditis," or inflammation of the heart linked to viral infection, among men ages 16 to 30, the Israeli health ministry reported. "In most cases, myocarditis took the form of mild illness that passed within a few days."
Cases of myocarditis were most common in younger men, ages 16 to 19, usually after the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine, health officials added.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday issued a disaster declaration in response to several hundred thousand immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through Texas since President Joe Biden’s border policies began in January.
The five-page order comes roughly two months after Abbott initiated Operation Lonestar on March 6, directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to protect Texans from increased crime being committed by immigrants.
Abbott’s order directs DPS to enforce all federal and state criminal laws, including criminal trespassing, smuggling and human trafficking. The legislature just passed a biennial budget, which allocates an additional $1 billion to fund DPS border security efforts.

Jonathan Turley, one of the last honest and principled liberals in the public arena, suggests that the Democrats' threats to bully the justices are backfiring and that the Court is sending strong warning signals to them. In a post to his own website yesterday, the George Washington University law professor wrote:
Chief Justice John Roberts and his colleagues seem to be sending a message that the Court is not so rigidly ideological as Democratic members and activists suggest.
He believes that a series of unanimous court decisions as the current term ends "seem[s] to be sending a message that the Court is not so rigidly

The Senate parliamentarian issued a new ruling that would effectively allow Democrats to use automatic budget reconciliation just one more time this year to bypass Republicans to advance President Biden’s progressive agenda.
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled that a revision to the 2021 budget resolution cannot be automatically discharged from the Senate Budget Committee, according to The Hill. This means that Democrats would need at least one Republican on the 11-11 panel to vote with them if they want to use reconciliation on more than one occasion before the legislative session ends in October.
The ruling, issued on Friday, effectively means

Vulnerable Democrats do not want to talk about Donald Trump anymore, as they seek reelection in 2022 to keep House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in power.
“The former president is now a private citizen, and it appears our justice system is handling whatever potential misdeeds he may or may not have committed,” said Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), who will be in a tough reelection bid due to the State of Florida’s redistricting measures.
“Trump is a Republican problem and a Republican cancer that they need to cut out of their party,” she added. “But that’s their problem.”
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said she is “focused on substantive issues.

After being lionized in the press, and drawing in tens of millions of dollars from giant corporations desperate to prove their bona fides to its racial-grievance bandwagon, Black Lives Matter seems to be falling apart.
That's a pretty reasonable conclusion to reach, given there don't seem to be any positive stories about the group coming out in the press anymore.
They're all tales of scandal, corruption, and exploitation, not surprising in an organization that's been flooded with such a tidal wave of money and run by "trained Marxists." There are a lot of these stories.
It probably started with the mother of Breonna Taylor,

Does Joe Biden have it in for Kamala Harris?
It would seem so. He seems intent upon assigning her jobs that are guaranteed to fail, based on how the Biden team approaches the questions.
First, he assigned her responsibility for the border, as we reported, which is a complete and utter mess. Now, if they had just left President Donald Trump’s policies in place, they would have been in pretty good shape. But they blew all those up and created a disaster. Kamala, of course, did nothing to solve it. She didn’t even go to the border, that’s how interested she was in it and when asked, just cackled.
