Schumer’s ‘No Kings Act’ Allows
Congress, Not SCOTUS, to Determine ‘Whom
Federal Criminal Laws May be Applied’

Original Article

Posted By: Harlowe, 8/1/2024 11:41:28 PM

Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer introduced his No Kings Act to eliminate immunity for presidents and vice presidents. [Snip] The No Kings Act puts everything in the hands of Congress and the notorious left-leaning United States District Court for the District of Columbia. [Snip] The Democrats wrote (emphasis mine): “No President or Vice President (former or sitting) would be entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for actions that violate the criminal laws of the United States. The bill would clarify that Congress, not the Supreme Court, determines to whom federal criminal laws may be applied.”

No doubt the US Supreme Court discombobulated the leftist and progressive Democrats out of their skins with the recent decision regarding presidential immunity for official acts while in office. The reason for that is that the decision may well impact the Democrat’s law fare campaign against Trump. If Schumer passes his No Kings Act, chances are the Supreme Court will come out with another decision finding that Schumer’s new law is unconstitutional.

Uh, Chuck, Kings don't leave office after 4 years, and can only run for that office once more.

Sounds like Schumer is trying to make members of Congress Kings with his new laws by taking powers away from the Executive and Judicial branches of government. Schumer does realize that the Constitution says there are three co-equal branches of government with checks and balances written in? Guess he doesn't think the Constitution applies to Democrats or their opposition.

This is one of many reasons why the Republicans have to take back the Senate. The Supreme Court is the only thing preventing the Dems from becoming a dictatorship. The next president may be picking two new justices, one for health reasons, and one due to retirement. I suspect that one of the reasons for picking Vance as VP was to help flip the Ohio Senate seat currently held by Brown.

Pittsburgh synagogue vandalized with pro-Hamas graffiti 1 reply
Posted by Harlowe 7/30/2024 12:05:05 AM Post Reply
Vandals painted a symbol associated with Hamas on a synagogue in Pittsburgh, near the site of the deadliest attack on Jews in US history. The slogan “Jews for Palestine” and an inverted red triangle appeared Monday on Chabad of Squirrel Hill, walking distance from Tree of Life, the synagogue complex where a white supremacist murdered 11 Jews in 2018. The building is across the street from a Jewish day school. The inverted red triangle is linked to the Hamas terror group, which has used it on propaganda videos produced by its al-Qassam military wing to signify Israeli targets. It has since been adopted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

Gazans are hoping Kamala Harris becomes the next president of the United States due to fears of what another 4 years with Donald Trump in the position could mean for Palestinian statehood and humanitarian aid to the enclave, according to interviews published on Saturday by Al-Monitor. Harris’s notable absence from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s congressional address last week was interpreted by some in both Gaza and the West as a political statement. [Snip] “I think Harris will have a better vision for the Palestinians, especially with regard to human rights, such as increasing aid and Gaza’s reconstruction,” he said.

Democrats successfully launched a soft coup against President Joe Biden after his senility became a political liability, with Biden announcing he would no longer seek the party’s nomination. [Snip] If Biden is too senile to run for president, he is too senile to remain in office. [Snip] But if Biden is permitted to remain in office for the next six months, then the “party of Democracy” just signaled that 14 million primary voters engaged in nothing more than perfunctory democracy. That is, one in which votes mean naught because a handful of D.C. elites have the ultimate say when their power suddenly is put on the line.

…. That’s the essential message coming from the latest developments per the framework pushed by the professionally democrat. The Washington Post (CIA/IC) frames the battle of the selfish Biden family against the goals of an altruistic DNC corporation (Obama/Pelosi). The wounds being suffered by the magnanimous heir apparent Kamala are unfair; at least, that’s the useful presentation for those who control the left-wing of the club. Joe Biden is essentially, at his core, the purist manifestation of a Democrat.

That would be horrible. [Snip] ...what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks. The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; [Snip] Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.

President Trump Announces New Policy Proposal

This is a very significant policy proposal. President Trump is supporting a position that Seniors should not pay taxes on Social Security income.This comes on the heels of President Trump supported policy that income received from service tips should not be taxed. Combined, both of these policies would result in massive numbers of middle-class Americans having more money in their bank accounts. The national economic benefits of these two combined policies are extremely significant and could actually offset the financial damage done by Joe Biden. The timing of this announcement coincides with President Trump visiting Chicago. SENIORS SHOULD NOT PAY TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY!

Nevertheless, if the Party leaders expect a positive response from the Jewish community in November, they may be disappointed.
