The ‘King Chuck” Con: Congress and
Judges Are Already Immune for ‘Official Acts’

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 8/15/2024 7:28:56 AM

President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have called the Supreme Court “out of control“ and “extreme.” But their efforts to undermine and intimidate the Court are as dangerous to our constitutional system as they are disingenuous, for they represent a monarchal effort to control the Court. Under Article III of our Constitution, the nation’s “judicial power” is vested in the Supreme Court and lower courts to be established by Congress. In addition to resolving “cases” or “controversies” brought before the Court, since the landmark 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison, it has been understood that power includes the right to declare acts of other departments and state governments unconstitutional.

If Trump gets elected and we get control of both Houses, the first order of business for Republicans should be to pack the Supreme Court with five hardline conservative justices.

Apparently Marbury vs Madison has exceptions if the law displeases a Left Wing Majority in Congress. But isn't that the approach to every single issue or controversy?

So what's going on with the bitter and remorseful King Lear ensconced in the White House? According to this video, he's ever so subtly begun to stir, to backbite, at the loathed Kamala Harris, who inherited the spoils of his primary victories by scheming with Democrat elites without lifting a finger: The context here is that Harris is attempting to distance herself from Biden's wretched economic failures, from inflation to falling wages, to declining GDP, to rising unemployment. Harris says she'll fix inflation, bring "good-paying jobs," go after the corporations

Imane Khelif, the Algerian Olympic boxer who fought as a female despite possessing the XY chromosomes of a man, has filed suit against Elon Musk and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling for "harassment." Mr./Ms. Khelif alleges that Rowling and Musk said mean things about him/her online, which constitutes bullying. What hitting girls in the head constitutes, Khelif wouldn't say. Nabil Boudi, Khelif’s attorney, says the suit was filed against X and that even Donald Trump might be "looked at" in connection with the lawsuit.

As Rebecca wrote earlier last night, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) successfully fended off a primary challenge from Don Samuels, a former Minneapolis City Council member. Omar clinched 56 percent of the vote to Samuels’ 42 percent, with other candidates sprinkled in the field. Congress’ favorite radical Islamic terrorist apologist is heading back to Washington, so everyone should grab a barf bag. Yet, did anyone notice what was odd about the returns? I won’t say it, but you can debate this topic in the comments below.
Some Thoughts On Valor -- Stolen Or Not 11 replies
Posted by DW626 8/14/2024 7:28:42 AM Post Reply
The best definition of ‘valor’ I have come across is ‘strength of mind in regard to danger, that quality which enables a man to encounter danger with firmness and courage.’ Reading of vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz and his stolen valor made me think of my father’s service during WWII and, to a lesser extent, my own some thirty years later. My dad, like a great number of young men, was drafted into the military in early 1942. Was spending the next three and a half years in the jungles of the Pacific fighting the Japanese the way he would have preferred to spend that time?

A coincidence is, “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time... but seem to have some connection.” That seems to be the case whenever Barack Obama is in close relationship with left-leaning world leaders or directly involved in an American election. Although Obama works hard to look like he’s not directly involved in the things he’s engaged in, anyone who has followed the machinations of the stealthy socialist knows that there are no coincidences regarding the former president.

I finished Megan Basham's "Shepherds for Sale" over the weekend. Paula is working on getting her for an interview for the podcast, and if that happens, it should be an eye-opening discussion. Basham's book outlines how progressive forces have infiltrated the Evangelical churches of America to undermine the conservative presence in those churches and flip them blue. Basham asserts that this effort is well-funded and occurs across multiple fronts, often aided and abetted by Christian and conservative thought leaders. One of those leaders, according to Basham, is David French. French was once a columnist for National Review before jumping ship for the Left.

Since Vice President Kamala Harris was catapulted to the top of the Democratic presidential ticket when President Joe Biden was forced out of his 2024 campaign, her leftist allies in the media have gone above and beyond to scrub her far-left record -- in addition to sanitizing her many failures as a 2020 presidential candidate. PolitiFact, a major "fact checker," has been one of Harris' greatest champions and advocates. They've explained away positions she still holds in hopes normal, moderate voters will take the bait and think she's changed -- that she isn't a controlling government leftist after all.

Donald Trump asks why American Jews vote for the Democrat party, whose left wing is hostile to the Jewish state. American Jews have many concerns. Israel ranks low on their priority list, about as low as European Jews ranked on the priority list of American Jews during Kristallnacht 1938 and the Holocaust. Unlike an astonished Trump, "progressive" American Jews place very little importance on the fate of Israel and Israelis. On Nov. 10, 2018, the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany, The Times of Israel's reporter, Matt Lebovic, discussed the attitudes of American Jews toward the events of Kristallnacht on Nov. 9-10, 1938:

This election season, the Democrats have again descended into a quagmire of duplicity, lies, mindless name-calling, and one-upmanship. In response, the Republicans, including the Trump campaign, are predictably and foolishly initiating their own campaigns of name-calling and one-upmanship. In the meantime, the vast majority of Americans remain on the sidelines, watching the food fight. As a result, far too many fail to understand the threat the Democrat party, controlled by the Obama-led Marxist faction, poses to the country. In order to win in November, Donald Trump, his campaign surrogates

Joe Biden won in 2020 on the premise that until the November election, he would pose as good ol’ Joe from Scranton and not scare voters. So Biden talked about “unity” and “competency.” He erased his prior wild primary pandering to left-wing voters about shutting down fracking and opening the border. But as soon as he was elected in 2020, Biden became the leftist veneer for a hyper-radical Obama third term. Fooled and naïve voters were shocked that their supposedly moderate candidate turned into a veritable neo-socialist president. But as soon as he was elected in 2020, Biden became the leftist veneer for a hyper-radical Obama third term.

When Vice President Kamala Harris unveils her economic policy proposals in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday, it will include a proposal to provide up to $25,000 in down payment support for first-time homebuyers, according to a campaign official. The campaign is vowing that during its first term, the Harris-Walz administration would provide working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance, with more generous support for first-generation homeowners. In a preview statement obtained by ABC News, the campaign says, "Many Americans work hard at their jobs, save, and pay their rent on time

Kamala Harris is laying out her economic agenda should she win the election come November with a wide-ranging set of priorities spanning from affordable housing to family planning and tackling prescription drug costs. The Democratic presidential nominee is calling for $6,000 for newborns and expanded Child Tax Credits, $25,000 down payments for some first-time homebuyers, relief from medical debt and other measures for her first 100 days in office. It is the first time the vice president is outlining her own priorities and setting herself apart from the Biden administration since President Biden's exit from the presidential race last month.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she tells Republican leaders, “We’re out to get you, you’re dead,” and likened Donald Trump to a fascist, weeks after Trump was shot in the ear by a would-be assassin. Pelosi pounded the table angrily in an interview with reporters while “dispensing wisdom that sounds like a mix of a crime boss and local party activist,” The Washington Post reported. Following the assassination attempt on Trump, President Joe Biden gave an Oval Office address that said that political rhetoric has a role in contributing to violence. “We can’t allow this violence to be normalized,” Biden said. “The political rhetoric in this country

Vice President Kamala Harris promised Friday that she would build 3 million new homes in four years if she were elected, but she and President Joe Biden barely managed to build eight EV charging stations in two-and-a-half years. Harris said at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina: There’s a serious housing shortage in many places. It’s too difficult to build and it’s driving prices up. As president, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing. We need both to rent and to buy. We will take down barriers and cut red tape including at the state and local levels.

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

Democrats appear rattled that they could lose Senate, House, and presidential elections if Vice President Kamala Harris is transparent about policy solutions to reverse the administration’s failures. Harris, who has not held an unscripted press conference for 26 days since joining the race, is facing calls to not only remain hidden from the press but to keep her proposed policies a secret as she prepares to deliver economic proposals in North Carolina on Friday. Harris, however, already published several policies, such as socialist-style price controls, subsidies for homeowners, and two policies that copy the Trump-Vance ticket: a child tax credit and no tax on tips.

I think what she laid out today was a strong progressive agenda. Obviously in the weeks and months to come, I think she will add more specificity to some proposals and she’s going to add to it.

This is an official Kamala Harris campaign video. It is hard to say what the point is. Kamala ridicules white people for eating food that isn’t spicy. The commercial is a dialogue between Harris and Tim Walz. Walz plays the white guy who eats “white guy tacos.” Walz is the bottom end of this relationship: he humiliates himself by being subservient to Harris, on behalf of (obviously inferior) white people: (X) Playing to idiotic racial stereotypes is commonly known as racism. One wonders how Walz’s fellow Minnesotans will react to his claim that we don’t eat any spices more exotic than pepper. The whole thing is puzzling. Other than reassuring voters
