The Supreme Court Is The Last Functioning
Institution In America

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/5/2024 5:11:01 AM

In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court ruled states cannot use section 3 of the 14th Amendment to kick Donald Trump off state ballots over his alleged “insurrectionist” actions on Jan. 6, 2021. Learning that state officials aren’t empowered to simply toss leading presidential candidates off ballots came as a great surprise to many incredulous left-wingers. Once you’ve convinced yourself Trump led a Hitlerian putsch that nearly overthrew democracy, every crackpot legal theory aimed at stopping him sounds not only morally justified but legally sound.

No! It’s not! The Ship of State has been taking on water for years and now it is sinking faster. There is NO government agency to protect the People! Once, a few years back, I thought patriots in the military could stage a coup and make things right. Now, with generals in skirts and lipstick, that thought is long gone. We’re done. Pessimist? Yes. Only God can save us and He’s not interested.

One correct ruling in a case that is painfully obvious does not make a functioning court.

Don't make such a big deal out of the SC being forced to follow the Constitution. They knew what would happen if they went the wrong way on this one. I will hold my applause for when they make the right decision on immunity and the other legal games being played to take down Donald Trump.

Nope. Even an analog clock is right twice a day. The SCOTUS is the only thing preserving our republic at this point from the constant onslaught of Demon-Rat policies trying to turn it into a 3rd world cesspool. They definitely got this right, as well as overturning Roe v Wade. But, far too often, they blow it on other cases. I'm guessing blackmail -- especially against Roberts.

Not really, most of the SC votes are along party lines. The Colorado ruling was just so obvious, the liberals had to support it.

Trying to convince people is an endless quest, that’s why it is better to just lay out the truth without agenda, then wait until the predictable pressure builds and it just floats to the surface and people find it. The truth has no agenda; remember that! You might remember as you read this that Henry Barbour is Harmeet Dhillon’s RNC compatriot. Then, suddenly, things from last year in California will start to make sense. (Via The Hill) – The Republican National Committee (RNC) failed to earn enough support from states to bring a resolution to ban paying former President Trump’s legal bills to a vote.

NBC is clutching their pearls as Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrates dozens of victories for his endorsed state candidates who primaried Bush-supported Republicans. Additionally, his endorsements and support for the challengers in Texas has led to an additional ten runoff elections, including the potential removal of Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan who led impeachment proceedings against him. The media uses terms like “revenge” and “anger,” however, most of the MAGA coalition smile and think of Paxton as the leading candidate to be nominated by President Trump for U.S Attorney General next year. Yeah, this article is buckets of awesome.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play. Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

Biden family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski sued for defamation Democrats’ star witness in the Jan. 6 Committee’s show trials. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Donald Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, famously testified two years ago that President Trump tried to violently hijack a security limousine and drive himself to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The sources she cited at the hearing almost immediately went on record to contradict her sworn testimony. Legacy networks NBC, CBS, and CNN reported Hutchinson’s sources were prepared to go under oath to testify that her claims were false.

Very Important Columnists Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman just released their book White Rural Rage, about flyover Americans and their support for Donald Trump. They’re doing rounds through the Democrat media circuit to plug it. One of those fun little appearances happened on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” It’s hard to put into words just how delusional and dishonest the segment was — as in, every single word. These highfalutin “journalists” have their heads so far up their own keisters, they wouldn’t know the honest truth if it introduced itself by name and punched them in the face.

Former Biden family business associate Jason Galanis told lawmakers last month that Joe Biden was used repeatedly to get deals “across the finish line.” On Monday, the House Oversight Committee released the transcript of lawmakers’ interview with Jason Galanis, who was a colleague of Hunter Biden and Devon Archer between 2012 and 2015. Their goal, Galanis said, “was to make billions, not millions.” Access to Vice President Biden, according to House testimony, was one of their primary products sold to foreign businessmen. “Our business included the acquisition of an 85-year-old Wall Street firm, Burnham and Company,

Have you noticed that President Biden’s hold on his core constituencies is more uncertain these days than his stumbling attempts to board Air Force One? Biden’s abundant weaknesses give President Trump and his campaign a target-rich atmosphere where they can tempt people who usually vote for Democrats to vote differently. Teachers, for example, usually vote for Democrats. Mr. Trump can sway many of them this year by promising to remove an unnecessary burden from public education.

In a scathing letter sent to CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews on Friday — obtained exclusively by The Post — Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the committee, demanded the network reveal who at CBS or parent-company Paramount Global “made the decision to terminate” Herridge. The committee said it also wants to know why her confidential files were “seized” as part of the termination.

Joe Biden’s fiery but mostly peaceful State of the Union address prompted many to suggest that he had been drugged before the speech to ensure an energetic performance. I don’t doubt that many wags made those comments in jest, but it may actually be the truth. A psychiatrist who specializes in elderly dementia patients told the Washington Times that Biden displayed behaviors indicative of stimulant usage to conceal cognitive decline during his State of the Union address on Thursday. While Democrats were rushing to claim that his performance proved that he was physically and mentally capable of handling the presidency, Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, Calif.,

Pound sand, y'all. That's my interpretation of how Houston Mayor John Whitmire handled a demand from the city's Mulsim community. Houston Muslim leaders issued a 24-hour deadline to the mayor in their demand that he call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. There was a Thursday 5:00 p.m. deadline for the mayor to call for a ceasefire and Mayor Whitmire did not meet that deadline. More than 40 Muslim Imams and organizations threatened to boycott the city's annual Ramadan dinner. And, they threatened to remove their support. They said if he did not meet their demand Whitmire would lose audiences, business partners, and also votes.

[snip] He had one last opportunity to at least try to somewhat heal — if just a bit — a nation further fractured by his divisive presidency. Yet, there Joe was: "Us against them" vs. "Let's try to come together." The latter was not to happen.

After his nasty dishonest SOTU Address last night – the Biden team released a new ad on Friday comparing Trump supporters to the KKK.

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats continued for decades to discriminate against blacks.

An investigation by the Department of Defense into UFO sightings found no evidence to support the possibility of extraterrestrial life. The Pentagon published a report on Friday by its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) reviewing 80 years of UFO sightings and concluded there is no evidence UFO sighting reflected the existence of alien life. “AARO found no evidence that any USG investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology,” the DoD report summarizes. Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) is the technical term used to classify UFOs.
