The American Bar Association Should Probably
Be Disbarred
Posted By: Judy W., 2/16/2025 6:27:19 PM
Just a very short note on the circular money flow of pure corruption behind lawfare 2.0 and the judicial fight against the Trump administration spending freezes. (Snip) It is the American Bar Association which sets the ethical rules for lawyers, the code lawyers are supposed to follow to remain within professional ethical guidelines. But the American Bar Association is not a neutral guardian of ethics, especially when it comes to judicial lawfare waged in support of the vast fraud that is USAID. The American Bar Association has itself been a major recipient of USAID funding then dutifully issued a scathing denunciation of DOGE activities and the USAID spending freeze.

Though it’s been just a month since his return to the White House, President Donald Trump is making his presence felt at home and abroad, from the Department of Government Efficiency to tariffs to setting the stage to negotiate the end of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Republican Reps. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Eric Burlison of Missouri, Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, Andy Harris of Maryland, and others experienced just how Trump is shaking things up across Europe as they attended the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London this week.
“What’s loud and clear to me is that Europeans aren’t happy,” Norman said. “The people aren’t happy; the leaders are.”
Thank You and Goodnight

I confess it's a wee bit demoralising to find JD Vance has stunned Europe with a speech that contains nothing that would be remotely surprising to any reader of this website for the last quarter-century. Of course, he's the Vice President of the United States and I'm a "niche Canadian". And in fairness JD was still in high school back when I started boring on about this stuff.
Nevertheless, the German defence minister Herr Großer von Wich ser spoke for the entire European establishment when he magisterially pronounced Mr Vance's remarks "not acceptable". Germany, France and the rest of Western Europe are dying before our eyes, but it remains "not acceptable"

The Zen Stage of Populism

The other side liked to say that they were ‘the adults in the room’. For a long time we have known what a laughable inversion of reality that is, as divorced from objective reality as many of the sickest sexual fetishes they also support.
If there was anything ‘adult’ about them it wasn’t the adult that means mature, experienced, responsible and informed. It was the ‘adult’ used in the porn shop sense. What they invoked to convey that they were more responsible, more informed, more wise than the rest of us, was actually a flickering neon light in a seedy backstreet.
But for some people this didn’t fully register.
What the hell is this? I get why Ohio Democrats are doing this, trying to be cute with the whole ‘regulate our bodies’ narrative that no one cared about in 2024. Abortion and female voters did not save Democrats, who obsess over the weirdest issues that will keep this party in the political wilderness.
(Snip) A bill proposed to the Ohio statehouse will make male ejaculation without intent to have a baby, a fineable offense of up to $10,000.
The bill has been proposed by State Representatives Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, who wrote it to point out what they see as the absurdity of rules that control women's bodies

In the past couple of weeks, devastating information has erupted into the public domain detailing the malign activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The Trump administration has effectively shut USAID down by freezing its existing foreign assistance programs (Snip)
Far more alarming information has now surfaced suggesting that USAID has been a major contributor to extremist and subversive activity. The Washington Free Beacon reports current and former US officials who worked closely with the aid group, saying they watched for years as it funnelled millions of dollars to bodies engaged in anti-Israel advocacy and that were linked to terrorism.
J.D. Vance In Munich: A Lesson To Elites

Nearly one year ago, I met my friend at a table streetside at Andechser am Dom, a restaurant in the heart of Munich, for beer and conversation. (Snip)
We had had dinner the night before. My friend, J.D., skipped out a dinner at the event he was in town attending — the Munich Security Conference, the annual gathering of military heavyweights that bills itself as the “world’s leading forum” to discuss security policy. What was the point, he had told me? He was a first-term US Senator from Ohio who was getting cold-shouldered by the Good and the Great at the conference. Why? His views on the Ukraine War

The Trump Team fooled everybody, including me. As last week’s various lawsuits sprouted restraining orders like early buds emerging all over the willow trees in springtime, most commenters expected Trump to take a necessary pause for defensive retrenchment.Surely, we all thought, it would take Trump’s anti-bureaucrats some time to clear the judicial logjam. (Snip)
Instead, yesterday Trump tripled down, jamming the battle tank’s accelerator into overdrive and smashing ahead in a whole different direction.His new battlefield banner unfurled yesterday afternoon in the form of one executive order plus three separate press conferences, which together sent a just-relaxing Deep State enemy racing for the bunkers with its trousers still half off.
Who Judges The Judges?
15 replies
Let us start by saying that the US Constitution is very clear on the role of judges. A judge is not there to assume the powers of the executive. The US system is designed with a separation of the powers which is there to prevent tyranny and arbitrary and unaccountable rule.
Separation of powers is designed to prevent a Presidential tyranny. But it’s also designed to prevent a judicial tyranny, or an administrative or a bureaucratic tyranny. It exists so that nobody can be in the position of making up the rules as they go along and that nobody is drafting the law, enforcing the law, judging the law all
President Trump, according to reports, wants to go to Beijing in his first hundred days and reach a bargain with China. Unfortunately, an enduring accommodation with the Chinese regime is not possible.
China is not done killing with disease.
Driven by these beliefs [replacing the Westphalian order of sovereign states with the Chinese imperial-era system], the Chinese regime has always thought it had the right to do whatever it wanted to others.
Try as Americans might, they will never have amicable relations with China as long as it is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party. There can be only one survivor, either the People's Republic
Temp’s Sovereign Wealth Fund seems like a good idea, depending on who controls it. Trump says the U.S. will, but does that devolve to bureaucrats?
We can’t do anything without a sucker-bureaucrat supervising every move. (Snip)
So to me, right now, the Rothschilds are more an exemplar of how Big Big Money behaves. And that is very very Lizardy. Or Reptilian. Not Human. When I use the term Rothschild, I mean also BlackRock, Larry Fink, Gates, the European families, the Black Nobility, the Windsors, etc.
It is the nature of Big Money to loot. To steal from the weak. It’s almost impossible for it to act ethically.
This article is intended as a response to the recent article by Dan Hoffman in the Washington Times entitled “Some Leadership Lessons for New CIA Chief Ratcliffe to Ponder”.
The premise of that article appears to be that a change of leadership at the top of CIA will be sufficient to put it on the right track. With all due respect for Mr. Hoffman, who I know personally, he is wrong. CIA needs major reform from top to bottom. The twin cancers of politicization and bureaucratization have rendered it effectively incapable of doing its job.
(Snip)Long ago senior leaders at CIA began to involve themselves inappropriately in American domestic politics.

Cynthia Erivo is taking on another musical for her next role. On Tuesday, it was announced that the "Wicked" star and three-time Oscar nominee will play Jesus in the upcoming Hollywood Bowl production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar."
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging its decision to suspend federal funding for refugee resettlement.
The move comes as part of President Donald Trump’s broader effort to realign American priorities—protecting the homeland first, rather than funding programs that facilitate unchecked migration.
Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg unleashed a foul-mouthed rant against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) late Tuesday after his grandfather’s namesake JFK Presidential Library and Museum temporarily closed due to layoffs of taxpayer-funded staff.
The 32-year-old grandson of President John F, Kennedy told the cost-cutting DOGE initiative to “eat s–t” after the Boston-based library shut its doors Tuesday afternoon because of staffing cuts.
The library blamed the closure on President Trump’s recent executive order overhauling the federal workforce.
“Hey, it’s Jack,” Schlossberg said in the clip posted online — just two weeks after he dramatically claimed he was quitting social media. “I’m OK, but our country is not.
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has sued the Trump administration, asserting that President Trump's order suspending refugee grants was illegal and demanding millions in what it claims is owed to Catholic charities for work performed under the grant.

Elon Musk showed interest in an innovative way of showing the country the savings his Department of Government Efficiency is making.
Musk posted on the X platform on Tuesday, saying he would “check with the president” about a proposal to send $5,000 checks to every American using money saved by DOGE’s cost-cutting operations.
The idea was initially proposed by James Fishback, a partner at the investment firm Azoria.
He explained the idea as follows:
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pledged to “simplify” the federal government’s credit card program on Tuesday which cost taxpayers nearly $40 billion last year.
“The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend in FY24,” read an X post from the cost-cutting initiative’s official account.
“DOGE is working w/ the agencies to simplify the program and reduce admin costs,” the group added. (Photo) DOGE said it “will report back in 1 week” with its plan to disentangle the system.

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett baselessly told “The View” co-hosts Wednesday that President Donald Trump has record-high approval ratings because Americans just are not educated enough to dislike him. Trump currently holds a record-high approval rating of 53%, as a high number of Americans believe he is fulfilling his campaign promises, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll from Feb. 9. Crockett, who is known for loudly screaming at her colleagues on the House floor, said with a straight face that there should not be a “loud” and so-called “ridiculous” person sitting in the Oval Office.
Frequent Trump critic Jim Acosta faced backlash after he blasted Karoline Leavitt – comparing the youngest-ever White House press secretary to a “kid” who is “telling you a tall tale.”
On Wednesday, during an interview with left-leaning podcast Meidas Touch, the former CNN anchor torched the newest press secretary.
“She [Leavitt] might just get on Trump’s all-star team of liars,” Acosta said. “She might be on the bench right now, but if she keeps working hard, she does her homework, she just might make it onto the team.”
President Donald Trump revealed that he had instructed “all remaining” U.S. attorneys who had been appointed under former President Joe Biden to be terminated.
“Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System — THAT BEGINS TODAY!” (TRUTH) The Wall Street Journal, citing a Justice Department official, said Acting Attorney General James McHenry took the drastic action because “he did not believe these officials could be trusted
Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines. The previously-unknown condition--which has been dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome'-- appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus and exercise intolerance. Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot. But the decentralized nature of the US' healthcare system makes it challenging to identify rare side effects and larger studies have failed to separate the symptoms suffered after Covid vaccination and background illnesses that would have occurred regardless.

SMARDAN, Romania—NATO members continued their largest combat exercises of 2025 on Wednesday, testing their ability to rapidly deploy large-scale forces on the 32-nation alliance’s eastern border as worries grow over its most powerful member, the United States.
The drills in Romania, which borders Ukraine, come as a shaken Europe grapples with a new U.S. course under President Donald Trump. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has demanded that allies dramatically ramp up military spending and said U.S. security priorities lie elsewhere — casting doubts on Washington’s longstanding security guarantees provided to Europe.

President Trump signed an executive order Tuesday affirmatively pulled all the "independent" boards, commissions, and agencies that have proliferated since the Roosevelt administration under the management of the White House. The order, titled Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies – The White House, states, "For the Federal Government to be truly accountable to the American people, officials who wield vast executive power must be supervised and controlled by the people’s elected President."
In an informational document about the executive order, shared with The Washington Post, White House officials referred to “so called independent agencies,” citing the FTC, FCC and SEC as examples

Haha, the American Bar Association gets money from USAID, so it attacks DOGE for freezing its spending. I hope Elon publicizes any "professional" group that gets government money, including the AMA and the teachers' unions.
