Another Yale Law professor who doesn’t
understand the law

Yale Law Professor Samuel Moyn has authored a New York Times essay (“Liberals Bet They Could Beat Trump With the Law, Nov. 22, 2024), which seems to demonstrate that he doesn’t understand, or care to acknowledge, the law from lawfare, or right from wrong. He abandons professional objectivity in front of his students—and before the public he writes to. He thereby violates the rules and guidelines of his own profession. This is the same Yale Law professor who argued in the same newspaper, that we should throw out the Constitution. Ironically, that is exactly what his political party did.

Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham gave an update Wednesday about his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to be the next Attorney General, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz.
"I had a very good meeting with President Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, and Vice President-elect JD Vance. I am committed to allowing the process to go forward in a manner consistent with past practices and fundamental fairness. This process will not be a rubber stamp nor will it be driven by a lynch mob," Graham released in a statement on X. "My record is clear.
When Donald Trump shocked the world by winning office in 2016, I was still laboring away among the lefties in corporate America and not yet rescued by PJ Media. Thus, I was subjected daily to the bitter inanities of that political persuasion.
Naturally, everything the newly elected president did was the Worst Thing Ever. Then as now, lefties loved to disparage Trump's cabinet picks and other nominees as unqualified and inferior. When he named school choice advocate Betsy DeVos as U.S. Department of Education secretary, for example, my co-workers fumed
The media and other Democrats love Bill Gates, who lives in a 60,000-sq.-ft. mansion and flies around the world in private jets, because he is a green pusher.
RFK Jr. wants to get a lot of chemicals out of food to make it more natural, and we are told he is dangerous. Bill Gates wants to put more chemicals in cows to pretend he can control the climate. Who is nuts?
Billionaire Bill Gates is calling for the drugging of the world’s beef supply in order to meet “climate change” goals.
The Obamas Get Their Comeuppance

The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.
The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.
The Gaetz appointment is a masterstroke

Lisa Murkowski is itching to vote against firebrand Matt Gaetz as attorney general. She may not get the chance. If the new Senate leadership recesses the Senate for three days, Gaetz can take office as a recess appointment, circumventing the confirmation process. It remains to be seen if Senate Majority Leader John Thune will play ball.
The Gaetz appointment is a giant middle finger to those in the Justice Department who have harassed Trump since before he took office in 2017. It started with the Russia hoax, and it's been going on nonstop for eight years. The final straw came when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, including searching Melania's
Many are dancing an Irish jig – even non-Irishmen whom one would not expect to know such dances – over the prospect of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy heading up a new “Grace Commission 2.0” of sorts, cheerfully nicknamed a Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
They intend an 18-month project, hopefully to conclude by our nation’s 250th anniversary, in which they will apply standard American manufacturing cost-cutting techniques such as LEAN and Six Sigma tools, to find out how much fat is in every federal department, bureau and agency, and cut it out as fast as possible.
Back in July, it was George Clooney who was instrumental in having President Joe Biden ousted from the race, weeks after hosting a fundraiser for his reelection campaign in Los Angeles. As we know, Biden was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, who still lost to President-elect Donald Trump. Sarah covered at the time last week how many were actually thanking Clooney for getting Trump elected. Now, the Hollywood actor says he's taking a step back from politics.
Something seemed up when, last week, Clooney was all too happy to discuss People's "Sexiest Man Alive," with no mention of politics. He won the award twice, in 1997 and 2006.
On these pages and elsewhere, writers have offered compelling evidence of another shooter and possible U.S. intelligence community involvement in JFK’s assassination, while other writers have rejected this narrative because too many people would have had to know and someone in the know would have spilled the beans.
I don’t know enough to comment on the former, but I do have thoughts on the latter.
There are at least five reasons why no one might spill the beans:
The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media.
This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the 2020 election

There have been increasing calls for a formal investigation into how Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), botched the COVID pandemic response.
In June, The Vires Law Group, in conjunction with the Edward L. Tarpley, Jr., APLC and bolstered by the support of the Former Feds Group Freedom Foundation, announced the submission of criminal referral requests to the District Attorneys of nine Louisiana parishes.
The referrals call for the initiation of criminal investigations against Fauci, Deborah “Scarf Lady” Birx
New York Judge Juan Merchan will make a decision today about whether to toss the June conviction of President-elect Donald Trump on so-called 'fraud' charges. The conviction came down in the deeply Democrat city after heavy handed and biased Manhattan Prosecutor Alvin Bragg brought a minor book keeping case against him.
"The possibility that Judge Juan Merchan will drop, because of presidential immunity, President Trump’s 34 felony convictions throws into sharp relief the increasingly precarious condition of the state cases — civil and criminal

Senate Republicans have once again enabled RINO Mitch McConnell, gifting him the chairmanships of the Senate Rules Committee and the powerful Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense for the 119th Congress.
Despite concerns over McConnell’s mental acuity, his new roles position him to obstruct President Trump’s conservative agenda from within.
McConnell will now chair both the Senate Rules Committee and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense—roles that could give him significant influence over key legislative priorities.
RINO McConnell wasted no time declaring his intentions.
Former FBI Director Andrew McCabe said the bureau would be endangered if Kash Patel, a former aide to President-elect Trump, is nominated and confirmed to lead the agency.
“No part of the FBI’s mission is safe with Kash Patel in any position of leadership in the FBI, and certainly not in the Deputy Director’s job,” McCabe told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday evening, adding that “The scope of authority is enormous.” “If you enter into that position with nothing more than a desire to disrupt and destroy the organization, there is a lot of damage someone like Kash Patel could do,” he said.
Former President Clinton suggested Democrats need to find a better way to relate to people, as the party searches for answers amid Republicans securing control of the House, Senate and White House.
“Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything. You know, and I think that’s a problem, and we’ll pay for it unless we get over it, but that’s a problem for the Democrats too. We have to learn to talk to people in ways that they can relate to that explains that,” Clinton said in an interview airing this weekend on MSNBC’s “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
The nomination of former Florida AG Pam Bondi for the position of U.S. Attorney General is a big mistake; not for the corrupt background of Bondi that we presume President Trump is not aware of, but rather for the background of Pam Bondi the Deep Swamp is almost certainly aware of.
Within the background story of state AG corruption and unlawful activity, Pam Bondi is very easily leveraged, blackmailed and controlled.
I presume at this writing that President Donald Trump is completely unaware of what Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi did during her time in office.

A draft text released Friday from the environmental negotiators at the U.N.’s COP29 climate alarmism summit would demand that wealthy nations commit to gifting poorer countries $250 billion a year between now and 2035.
Climate activists responded to the proposed contribution with outrage, claiming the sum is “paltry” and “a joke.”
COP29 — formally the Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — is the 19th edition of the U.N.’s official assembly to discuss how to globally address the alleged climate crisis. It is currently taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, and scheduled to conclude on Friday, though the disagreements over the provisions in the outcome text
One of the most racist, anti-conservative talking liberal heads is at it again with the hateful rhetoric aimed at Trump supporters.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed on Friday that people have a legitimate fear of MAGA supporters and do not feel “safe” around them in a doomsday video message. Reid told her fellow liberals they had a right to be scared of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet choices. “He's put together a cabinet of horrors! People are afraid; they're not just mad because they lost an election,” she said.
Without giving a reason, Reid warned the small amount of viewers she had left that Republicans were going to “control everything.”
Former President Bill Clinton bemoaned the presence of “zillions of new websites” in a Thursday interview with MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, saying Democrats were “not even being heard” during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Former President Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early Nov. 6, while Republicans picked up four seats in the Senate and are projected to hold the House of Representatives. Clinton said Democrats were “not even being heard” in rural areas, saying he “tried to help.”“Politics is the only business in which you can prove your authenticity by not knowing anything. You know?
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested in a recent interview that the DOJ staff is worried it will become a “law firm” for President-elect Trump during his second stint in the White House. His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders and then making the bureaucracy move.”
A California judge has permanently stripped Texas father Jeffrey Younger of all parental rights to his twin sons, James and Jude, granting Younger’s ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, the authority to chemically and surgically transition their 12-year-old son, James, against his father’s wishes.(Photo) Younger, whose ex-wife, a pediatrician, began transitioning their son to a girl at just two and a half years old, has fought tooth and nail to protect his child. Despite video evidence supporting his concerns, courts in Texas and California have systematically stripped him of his parental rights.
President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands. The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.” Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief.
President Trump plans to fire Jack Smith’s entire team of prosecutors and will use the Justice Department to investigate the 2020 election.
The Washington Post, citing Trump Transition sources, reported that Trump will fire Jack Smith’s team of activist lawyers and use the DOJ to assemble a team to investigate the stolen 2020 election.
“President-elect Donald Trump plans to fire the entire team that worked with special counsel Jack Smith to pursue two federal prosecutions against the former president, including career attorneys typically protected from political retribution,” WaPo reported.
“Trump is also planning to assemble investigative teams within the Justice Department to hunt for evidence in battleground states
Elon Musk hinted he might explore buying MSNBC on Friday, days after it was reported the network would be spun off from NBC News and potentially sold by Comcast.
Donald Trump Jr. shared a meme on Friday afternoon on X/Twitter claiming MSNBC was up for sale.
He tagged Musk and commented, “Hey @elonmusk I have the funniest idea ever!!!”
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO replied, “How much does it cost?” After the exchange went viral, Musk commented, “The most entertaining outcome, especially if ironic, is most likely.”
