Reminder: the American working class flyover voters who elected Trump supported returning manufacturing to the US, decoupling from China, and use of our own energy to be independent from regimes like Russia and Saudi. They had to be defamed as racist by our elite, who are wiser

To me, this seems like a big problem. There is a high profile dispute over immigration law. The federal circuit court takes a case, issues a quick opinion, and resolves it. Then, the district judges shift to give the same relief under a different line of argument? I'm skeptical!

ALSO NEW: Our latest anaylsis shows that despite the 5th Circuit's Feb. 6 ruling in favor of ICE's mandatory detention policy, judges there have overwhelmingly continued to reject detentions as a violation of detainees' due process rights. w/ @Jtblaeser politico.com/news/2026/06/13…

If a monkey horded 10 bananas, the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas. This is why humans have a technologically advanced society and monkeys live in trees and have to forage for bananas every day.
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

Here we go... the uranium is the signal... it's happening... "And here's the big one. The Iranians have agreed in principle to destroy and remove their enriched uranium. This will be supervised by the United States and  the International Atomic Energy Committee"... It all ties back to Uranium One... Hillary Clinton's State Department approvals... Russian uranium pathways... Obama's Iran deal... sanctions relief... billions moving through the same geopolitical corridors for more than a decade... Now the focus returns to the material itself... Trump is driving the conversation toward recovery, removal, and verification because uranium carries a forensic record of its own journey. Isotopic signatures reveal origin, processing, enrichment, transport pathways, and handling history with extraordinary precision... The negotiations establish the framework, the uranium establishes the receipts... Follow the uranium and the architecture behind the last decade comes into view... the networks, the money, the leverage, the movement of material, and the players connected to it all... Watch the video... then read below...
👁 This document activates the Uranium One controversy node through direct pressure on DOJ and FBI, bringing focus to custody, approvals, and line of sight over uranium as it moved through US channels... linkages abound... That focus aligns with a live operational thread centered on Iran... Trump continues to anchor on securing Iran’s “nuclear dust,” pointing to enriched uranium that can be recovered, measured, and verified on the ground... The same material sits at the center of both timelines, one in governance review and one in active control... Uranium carries a measurable fingerprint through isotopic ratios and processing signatures, which allows origin and movement to be traced with high confidence... That traceability links the earlier cycle associated with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to the current cycle focused on Iran... Governance, oversight, and approvals connect directly to physical location, recovery, and enforcement... the system converges on a single constraint... Full visibility and custody of uranium set the ceiling on escalation, and pressure across both layers brings that node into alignment and stabilizes the broader energy and security landscape... scribd.com/document/10318776…

Kelly O'Donnell was also president of the White House correspondence association and accused people of making false claims that the White House press was giving Joe Biden questions ahead of time. We know that's a lie. She's never explained this by the way.
12 Jul 2024
To those who make the false charge, the WH press corps does not provide questions in advance. The president has a list of media who are credentialed in advance. His team knows who will be in the room and chose reporters from news wires, TV, print, and radio including a Polish journalist. We did not know who would be selected in advance.

The violence in Belfast is wrong. Burning homes is wrong. Attacking innocent people is wrong. None of that should be excused. The thing is, Many governments have forgotten something fundamental: > Public opinion is data. When large numbers of people are saying they are worried about immigration, cultural change, crime, housing, social cohesion, or the future of their communities, the government's first response should not be, "How do we stop people from saying this?" The first response should be: "WHY are people saying this?" Maybe they're right. Maybe they're wrong. Maybe the problem is real. Maybe the problem is exaggerated. Maybe people are working from incomplete information. Maybe they're being manipulated by propaganda. Maybe government statistics are failing to capture something people are experiencing firsthand. Maybe government statistics are correct, but the public has lost trust in the institutions presenting them. You don't find out which explanation is true by threatening, censoring, or criminalizing speech. You find out by listening. A smart government treats public complaints as a diagnostic tool. If people believe crime is rising, investigate. If people believe immigration is causing social problems, investigate. If people believe courts are protecting some groups while punishing others, investigate. If people believe the government is hiding information, publish more information. The goal is not to validate every fear. The goal is to understand it. People do not become less afraid when you tell them they're forbidden from expressing fear. They become more afraid. They become more suspicious. Eventually they conclude that if peaceful speech is ignored, only louder methods will get attention. That does not justify riots. It does not justify violence. It does not justify burning homes. But it does explain why governments that stop listening eventually find themselves confronted by people who have stopped talking and start fighting. Free speech is not merely a right. It is an early warning system. A government that disables its own warning system should not be surprised when it discovers the fire only after the building is already burning.
This is shocking. Nobody should be defending this thuggery. All of the events in Belfast are sickening.

This is just flatly untrue. 600K people have not died over USAID. Anyone who says this can be summarily dismissed.
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children. History's first trillionaire.

Are there any black academics who aren’t complete clowns?
I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to an impartial jury comprised of citizens from the state and district where the crime was committed. Nowhere does it mention race. constitution.congress.gov/constitution/a…

Black people’s behavior after the murder of Austin Metcalf help me understand why a lot of things were the way they were before the “civil rights” era.
Jeff Metcalf's behavior in that video helps me understand why his son was turned into a pin cushion.
