NBC vs. the Holdout Juror

Desperate for ratings, an NBC-owned TV station crusades against a hero

Don Surber 

"Consider AOC. She got away with saying there were 10 lynchings of black people this year. The media repeated her without context. X did not. It added a community note to her tweet."

The harpies at NBC10 (WBTS) in Boston have the name, rank and serial number of the juror who believed Lindsay Clancy when she said she killed her children. The outlet is owned and operated by NBC. Station personnel have no legal right to know his name and in fact, may have violated the law in obtaining the name.

Nevertheless, NBC10 is airing a string of stories about his divorce and his financial woes in an effort to discredit him.

The station is going after the juror because his refusal to go-along-to-get-along and acquit her is unpopular among the liberals who dominate the area. The station’s management is using the juror to attract viewers and advertisers to the station’s broadcasts.

NBC10 is usually last in the ratings among the five English-language local newsrooms behind WCVB (ABC), WHDH (independent), WBZ (CBS) and WFXT (Fox) in that order—and has been fifth in this five-channel race since 2017.

Oh, I am sure the reporters going after the man believe they are heroes in their crusade to expose a private citizen who did his duty and served on a jury. Wait, since 9/11, journalists no longer call themselves crusading journalists. They say investigative reporters instead.

Besides, exposing the hero’s record just may be the ticket out of Beantown to network stardom.

"But the station is undermining the integrity of the judiciary. Far from being helpful, in Boston, NBC10’s freedom of the press is doing serious damage to our country

"NBC10 should not know the juror’s name because the judge impounded the list of the names of jurors. His fellow jurors likely ratted him out. The station justifies its use of his name and its unethical attacks on his reputation by saying, well, at least we’re not disclosing his name.

"But we are hearing only one side of the story." . . . More.

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, “A man objected to allowing a woman to kill her three young kids and get away with it, so NBC is trying to smear that juror, whose identity should be protected. Another low for legacy media."

We must recall that NBC was once the famous MSNBC; now MSNOW. TD 

Lawlessness Is a Choice

 Miranda Devine - Imprimis -Oct 2025

"The intense blowback against Trump’s efforts to restore law and order rams home the point that it is a deliberate choice by progressives to preserve lawlessness in their cities. When you think about it, the strategy seems to have paid off, if all you care about is power, since progressives have a generational stranglehold on the cities with the worst crime."

"While being interviewed on a recent podcast, Texas Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett decided to opine on crime, a topic on which she apparently considers herself to be an expert. Her nutty conclusion was this: “Just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal.”

"I can see how this logic would have a wide range of uses for politicians: “Just because someone told a lie, it doesn’t make them a liar”; “Just because someone took a bribe, it doesn’t make them corrupt.” It’s a bit like the thought experiment: “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” If a crime is committed and no one is responsible, was there actually a crime at all?

"Of course, it’s nonsense. A criminal is defined precisely as a person who has committed a crime. But when Crockett chooses her own definitions, she is simply echoing a progressive shibboleth that has turned blue cities across the country into lawless hellholes. It holds that people who commit crimes have no agency—that they are helpless victims of circumstance. Therefore, any attempt to hold them accountable by arresting them or putting them in jail is unjust—it further victimizes them.

""The obvious result of this logic is that criminals are emboldened and their real victims become helpless hostages to lawlessness.

"It is a short step from Crockett’s logic to the justification of defunding the police as a way to “make communities safer.” That communities become safer by having fewer police is, of course, a lie, but defunding police is what progressives have been doing since the anti-cop, BLM-Antifa riots of the “Summer of Love” in 2020.

"As a former police reporter, I’ve seen how soft-on-crime policies hurt the very people progressives pretend to care about. It’s precisely the most vulnerable in our big cities who need the most policing and have the least resources to protect themselves from mayhem.

"Living in New York City off and on over the past three decades, including in the pre-Mayor Rudy Giuliani era when it was a dystopian hellscape of crime and no-go zones, it’s striking how quickly soft-on-crime policies at the state and local level destroy your day-to-day sense of safety. Progressive criminal justice “reforms,” such as defunding the police, ending cash bail, refusing to prosecute misdemeanors, letting thousands of convicted felons out of prison early, and slashing the prison population, are the most obvious contributors to the escalating violent crime problem in blue cities.

"In 2014, Bill de Blasio was elected Mayor of what he boasted was “the safest big city in America.” He championed all sorts of progressive policies, from bail reform to decriminalizing offenses such as public urination and marijuana possession—and eventually the New York City Council defunded the NYPD to the tune of $1 billion.

"As predicted by everybody with any understanding of human nature, it did not take long for the city to become scary." . . . More...

Clarence Thomas Played the Long Game. He Won.

"In a nation short on exemplary role models, Thomas fills the void. 

He would never dream of saying so himself, but Thomas is an

 American hero and the nation's most inspiring man."

"An important new book by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Going Further, calls attention anew to the life and career of the single greatest living American, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

"For many years after Thomas arrived on the court in the early 1990s, his conservative, originalist views were relegated to dissenting opinions. Three and a half decades later, Thomas, now the second-longest-serving justice in the court's history, regularly finds himself in the majority.

"Thomas, in short, has won the long game. But how?

"Thirty-five years ago, mainstream legal training and judicial practice suggested the proper way to interpret a legal document is to probe for nebulous concepts such as legislative history and legislative intent. It's now hard to believe, but the commonsense notion that one should begin the interpretive exercise with a document's text and plain meaning was pretty much unheard of.

"Thomas, along with his then-colleagues Justice Antonin Scalia and Chief Justice William Rehnquist, galvanized an intellectual revolution in American legal and judicial practice. Today, law schools instruct students to begin the interpretive exercise with the text. In fact, this is hardly controversial. As the liberal Justice Elena Kagan put it in a 2015 Harvard Law School lecture, "We're all textualists now."

"A big part of the reason for this success is simple: sheer persuasiveness. The straightforward nature of the originalist and textualist position quickly found mass appeal, putting defenders of legislative history or "living constitutionalism" on their back feet. They haven't been able to keep up.

"In the area of legal interpretation, liberals have lost the public argument — badly. In recent years, we've seen this manifest in conservative victories at the high court on religious liberty, abortion, gun rights, affirmative action and the administrative state.

"There is an underappreciated additional ingredient in Thomas' winning formula: his kindness, affability and genuine human decency." . . . More...

Supreme Court Upholds Trump Mail-In-Vote Restrictions UPDATED

Issues & Insights

RealityBites by Broc Smith

Here’s what the Supreme Court’s order means for mail-in voting this year – Deseret News 

  "Democratic governors shared their anger online after the court’s order, with California’s Gavin Newsom vowing to sue again and keep pursuing the issue. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro posted that the decision does not deal with the substance of Trump’s order and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said despite the court’s decision, Trump doesn’t get to rewrite election law."

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to move forward with order imposing restrictions on mail-in voting | SCOTUSblog   . . . "President Donald Trump signed the executive order at the center of the dispute in March. As it came to the court in late July, the focus of the case was on three different provisions of the order. The first instructs the Department of Homeland Security to create lists of the adult U.S. citizens in each state and to send those lists to states at least 60 days before a federal election. The second provision commands the U.S. attorney general to “prioritize the investigation and, as appropriate, the prosecution of State and local officials … who issue Federal ballots to individuals not eligible to vote in a Federal election.” And the third provision requires states to give the U.S. Postal Service a list of voters to whom the states intend to send mail ballots, and it prohibits the USPS from mailing ballots to voters who are not on the lists of “enrolled” voters that the USPS will create.

"A group of 23 states, led by California, and the District of Columbia challenged the government’s implementation of the order in a federal court in Massachusetts. They argued that the executive order conflicts with provisions in the Constitution that give states the power to determine voter eligibility and to set the “Times, Places, and Manner” of holding congressional elections." . . .

UPDATE: Will Supreme Court Ruling Make It Harder for Noncitizens to Vote?

. . . "However, in a separate case, the same judge who previously imposed an injunction on the order in a case brought by 23 states, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts, imposed a separate injunction on the USPS rule in a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and other liberal organizations.

"That judgment is likely a formality, Palmer said, since the Justice Department filed a motion with Talwani to drop the injunction in light of the high court ruling, or the ruling will be appealed.

"Though it was a decision on standing rather than the merits of the executive order, that is still significant in curbing what plaintiffs can do, and what national policy district court judges can block, said election lawyer Cleta Mitchell, chairman of the Election Integrity Network at the Conservative Partnership Institute.

“'I obviously wish the Supreme Court had stepped up and stopped the challenge in its tracks,” Mitchell told the Daily Signal. “It may have been necessary to rule on standing to get the votes. At some point, the Supreme Court should step in with the tyrants in black robes and let them know they are not the president, they are not the legislature, and they are not the state election board.”

El-Sayed: KISS And Tell

"Having suffered the lash of Islam in Iran, Amirizadeh undoubtedly harbors deep concerns over a candidate who openly admits everything he does in life is to honor Islam."

James Zumwalt - American Thinker     "Last week was interesting for anyone concerned about Islam’s growing influence in America.

"Recently revealed were the 2009 remarks made by Michigan US Senate nominee, Democrat and avowed Muslim, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.  He reportedly shared that, while in medical school, he chose to obtain a loan that was compliant with Islamic law—Sharia. In fact, he proclaimed that, as a Muslim, he would always follow Sharia in “everything” he ever sought to do.

"Some may dismiss these remarks, made 17 years ago, as those of a man simply dedicated deeply to his religion—one he embraces totally separate from his political views and life in general. However, such a dismissal would be a big mistake for Michigan voters in the upcoming election.

"While U.S. legislators embracing Christianity and most other religions do leave their religion at the door to represent their constituency on matters concerning their well-being, Muslims dedicated to their “religion” do not—and cannot. There is no issue amongst non-Muslim legislators complying with the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment mandate prohibiting the establishment of a national religion and protecting the free exercise of religion; but for Muslim legislators, there is.

"The above mandate gives rise to the philosophical and jurisprudential concept that there can be no state-mandated religion—i.e., “separation of church and state.” But, what if such separation is impossible because one has declared his total commitment to a religion that disallows such a separation?" . . .    

. . . "For the record, El-Sayed could well give false testimony in response. Such is permissible under Islam. While honesty is supposedly honored, three situations allow Muslims to lie. These include lying to resolve a situation between two individuals, to a spouse in order to please her, and to be deceptive about an ongoing war. Clearly, as Islam’s ultimate goal is the submission of all religions to it, such a war between Islam and all other religions is in progress" . . .

Anthony Fauci’s Fifth Amendment Strategy May Not End the Investigation |

 Miranda Devine: Anthony Fauci was the ‘big head’ of COVID response

"As the global death toll mounted, Fauci’s diary shows he was increasingly preoccupied with his rising media profile and reveling in the admiration, especially the praise from celebrities, all of which he meticulously ­recorded."

Cartoon - American Thinker Fauci emerges from the diary entries as a frivolous narcissist, possibly corrupt and
 a really bad speller (for example, “dyswaded” for dissuaded).

The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"And remember, that pardon only covers Fauci’s conduct through last January. Once he’s forced to testify … anything he says is fair game for examination as perjury."

. . . "Litigating the order to compel Fauci’s testimony and force him to stop invoking the Fifth Amendment gets interesting right away. The Fifth only holds as a protection against the committee’s subpoena where Fauci has a reasonable fear of prosecution. If Biden’s pardon is worth the paper it’s printed on, then there is no self-incrimination argument and Fauci has to testify.

"What would be highly interesting is if Fauci’s lawyers were to argue that Biden’s pardon of their client is problematic based on the fact it was an autopen pardon from a non compos mentis president — my characterization, obviously, but theirs would have to read somewhat similarly. That would be their most direct defense of his Fifth Amendment privilege, but it would also be politically devastating for the Democrats, and at that point it would start to be interesting to see who might turn on him. I am not suggesting they would do this, but it’s conceivable — especially if Camp Fauci thinks that his contradictory statements put him at a greater disadvantage than does his underlying conduct.

"Either way, in this scenario, you get a ruling from the judge, and the wheels begin to turn. Clearly, Fauci’s Fifth Amendment invocation isn’t appropriate when Sen. Josh Hawley asks what color his tie is, so there is almost certainly going to be a ruling compelling some testimony not covered by Fifth Amendment privilege." . . . More...

Omertà - Don Surber  

. . . "So the rule of law is Democrat presidents can go after political enemies, while protecting lawbreaking Cabinet officials from facing justice. Republican presidents face dealing with passive-aggressive Republican Congresses whose members would rather be in the minority than actually do the work of a majority Congress.

Which leads to Wednesday’s Senate committee hearing—chaired by Senator Rand Paul—into the trillion-dollar covid catastrophe caused by Tony Fauci, whom Reagan brought to Washington to find a cure for AIDS. Over the course of 40 years, Fauci built a bureaucratic empire and ingratiated himself among the politicians, celebrities and press gaggles of DC. Barbra Streisand had him on speed dial.

(People. People who need fascists are the ugliest people in the world.)

Fauci never did find that cure—despite torturing beagles such s having Tunisian sandflies bite them and cutting off their vocal cords, a debarking, a cordectomy. But he retired to a pension larger than a presidential salary and pocketed all sorts of deals including a $5 million book advance for a book that sold less than 100,000 copies.

"Rand Paul is no dummy. He knew that Fauci is a liar who would never talk under oath even with the prosecutorial immunity of a presidential pardon—regardless of who actually signed it."

Game Over: Boy Trying to Play on Girls' Soccer Team Quits After Female Players Stand Their Ground

 Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

"Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., holding that states may reserve girls' and women's sports teams for biological females without violating Title IX or the Constitution, New Hampshire parents of transgender teenagers have dropped their lawsuits to allow their sons to play on the women's sports teams. One of the confused youth chose to stop playing on his soccer team because it was no longer fun. As our sister site Twitchy said, "That's as good as self-deporting."

Exactly.

Two transgender girls who were the first to challenge President Donald Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” have withdrawn their lawsuit in New Hampshire based on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld state bans on transgender athletes in girls’ sports and their own personal hardships, their lawyer said.

“This case was always about two courageous young girls who simply wanted the same opportunities as their peers to participate in school life,” their lawyer, Chris Erchull of GLAD Law, said in a statement Thursday. “Their willingness to stand up to extraordinary hostility made clear the human cost of laws that target transgender youth.”

"This GLAD Law attorney has it twisted. It was the girls on the sports teams that were targeted, which is why President Trump signed the executive order and the New Hampshire legislature codified it into law.

The teenagers, Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle, took on Trump’s executive order last year, amending their 2024 complaint against New Hampshire’s law on banning transgender girls from school sports. A federal judge had granted a court order allowing them to play as the case proceeded.

For Tirrell, it meant being able to keep playing on her high school girls’ soccer team. For Turmelle, it was having a chance to try out for different sports.

"'Iris" Turmelle's case was unofficially DOA when his family moved out of state so that he could cosplay in a state that doesn't put any restrictions on what some would describe as a mental illness. Parker Tirrell is the boy who left his soccer team over the lack of joy. New Hampshire's version of NPR interviewed Sara Tirrell, Parker's mother, about it." . . . More...

Religious Liberty Means More Than Mere Toleration

 The American Spectator  

"The Supreme Court should make clear that the First Amendment means what it meant in 1791: that Americans possess an inalienable right to live out their faith that no city zoning code can extinguish. Home worship, Bible study, prayer groups, and Sabbath minyan, should not require a permit."

"In 1790, the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island wrote to President George Washington with words that carried the weight of centuries of persecution: “Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of citizens, we now behold a government which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”

"Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregation is one of the most remarkable documents in American history, not for its eloquence alone, but for what it rejected. The new republic, Washington insisted, would not merely tolerate its religious minorities. It would guarantee their rights. Every American, he promised, “shall sit in safety under his own Vine and Figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.

"Two hundred and thirty-six years later, the town of University Heights, Ohio, failed to live up to that promise for one of its Jewish residents. Daniel Grand is an Orthodox Jew. His faith requires him to pray three times a day, preferably with a minyan, a quorum of at least 10 men. On the Sabbath and High Holidays, when driving is forbidden, that means gathering on foot within walking distance of home. In January 2021, Grand sent an email to about a dozen neighbors, inviting them to pray together at his house. One neighbor informed the mayor.

"The next day the city’s law director sent Grand a cease-and-desist order. The letter warned Grand that if he held his planned prayer meeting at his home, his residence would be transformed into “place of religious assembly,” prohibited by the town’s zoning laws. If he wanted to pray with friends, he would need to apply for a special-use permit.

"What followed was a systematic campaign of civic harassment. When Grand applied for the permit, the hearing was converted to a “quasi-judicial” format that locked the record and prevented him from submitting supporting evidence. Neighbors sent letters of protest, including one that read, “I do not want our neighborhood labeled as Jewish.” When Grand withdrew his application, the mayor doubled down, publicly declaring that the cease-and-desist remained in full force and urging neighbors to report any signs of religious gathering at Grand’s home to city authorities. Police began conducting drive-bys, and the city withheld Grand’s certificate of occupancy and tax abatements, costing him thousands of dollars. Sanitation workers stopped collecting his trash." . . .  More...

How Mayor Bass Can Save LA, and Why History Says She Won’t

"Every big city in America where the population is declining, businesses are closing, public safety is failing, and national relevance is diminishing suffers from the same handful of leadership failures."

John Perry - American Thinker   

"Zohran Mamdani, Brandon Johnson, Karen Bass, and others follow the Curley Effect playbook. Their base is defined by race and class identity politics. They play to these constituents’ demands for less policing, more welfare, environmental extremism, supporting the unions, and soaking the rich."

"Every big city in America where the population is declining, businesses are closing, public safety is failing, and national relevance is diminishing suffers from the same handful of leadership failures. Cities don’t become helpless has-beens due to budget shortfalls, racial tension, natural disasters, or any of the other common excuses cities like Los Angeles use to explain or justify their decline. Along with New York, Chicago, Seattle, and other cities currently spiraling down the drain, LA is going from bad to worse because of four mistakes its leaders have perpetuated.

"These failures are both predictable and preventable. But history tells us that as mayor, Karen Bass will have a hard time implementing the simple changes required.   

"Here is why cities wither and die:   

1. Failure to keep citizens safe -- If people don’t feel safe on their own streets, nothing else matters. Productive, law-abiding, taxpaying residents deserve protection from criminals, vagrants, and other undesirables. It’s the responsibility of the police and the judicial system to establish and preserve a safe environment." . . .

2. Failure to provide effective schools – Families with children are the backbone of any thriving community. Responsible parents -- the ones who have steady jobs, volunteer in the community, support local businesses, pay taxes, and obey the law -- will stop at nothing to send their children to the best schools they can"  . . .

3. Failure to keep the cost of living manageable – Los Angeles, like Chicago, Seattle, New York, and other failing cities, is living hopelessly beyond its means. In order to fund vast social programs that attract homeless addicts from around the country,

4. Failure to keep corruption in check - Unchecked corruption robs cities of their resources, energy, and legitimacy. One of the reasons Chicago struggles is there has been no change in leadership to clean house: Democrats have controlled the city since 1930. Like Chicago, Los Angeles desperately needs a new team to sweep those nasty streets from top to bottom.   

. . . "The results are there for all to see: Great for being re-elected. Terrible for the citizens and cities these leaders are supposed to lead."

John Perry is a ghostwriter and collaborator, as well as the author of more than a dozen books including Sgt. York: His Life, Legend, and Legacy (Fidelis, 2021). His latest book is The Detroiting of America: What Happened to the Motor City, Why Other Cities Followed, How Detroit is Coming Back

DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon Throws a Curveball That Sends MLB's Bad Week Spiraling

  Sister Toldjah

"As RedState previously reported, Major League Baseball (MLB) landed itself in hot water on Monday after issuing a "warning" to three San Francisco Giants pitchers who refused to bend the knee to "Pride Night," writing Bible verses on their rainbow-themed hats during the team's Friday game against the Chicago Cubs.

"The warning stated that "the writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations." In a follow-up statement, they claimed it had nothing to do with the Christian message. "To be clear, this routine verbal warning not to wear the hat in future games is not disciplinary and had absolutely nothing to do with the content of the message.". . .  Uh huh....

"In response, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) fired off a letter to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, demanding answers and strongly implying that a public Senate Judiciary Committee hearing might be in order due in part to the fact that "baseball enjoys a sweeping, judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws—a privilege the Senate Judiciary Committee has examined with bipartisan skepticism in recent years."

"In a follow-up to this story, Harmeet Dhillon, the DOJ's Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, has now entered the chat, informing Manfred and the MLB that they now face a civil rights probe, with the matter being referred to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):

"The three players expressed their opposition to MLB's pro-Pride orthodoxy," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in the letter. "The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious objections to serving as the League's vehicle for pro-Pride messages.

“Federal law is clear: employers must modify their uniform requirements to reasonably accommodate their employees’ exercise of religion,” Dhillon added in the letter. “The Trump administration is committed to combatting religious discrimination."

Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Among Biden’s Governmentwide Anti-Christian Policies

 Judicial Watch  

"The agency prevented foster children from being placed with Christian families or Christian foster agencies that did not affirm the Biden administration’s policies on sexual orientation and gender ideology." 

May 12, 2026; "A governmentwide anti-Christian effort launched under the Biden administration was much worse than previously imagined and a new report published by a Department of Justice (DOJ) task force documents the alarming details of woke measures adopted by most federal agencies to conduct the mission that clearly targeted conservatives. This includes the Biden DOJ mandating the adoption of gender ideology throughout the federal government, illegally weaponizing a landmark civil rights law prohibiting sex-based discrimination to allow men into women’s sports and intimate facilities, punishing faith-based homeless service providers who raised concerns about biological men entering women-only shelters and allowing federally-funded schools to facilitate “gender transitions” without disclosing education records to parents. In 2024 the Biden administration delivered a sucker punch on Good Friday, a solemn and sacred day for Christians, by announcing that Easter Sunday, a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, would be officially recognized by the government as Transgender Day of Visibility.

"The flagrant examples go on and on with an extensive list of anti-Christian measures that even President Trump probably could not imagine when he signed an executive order in early 2025 to right the wrong. The order created a special Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias within the DOJ to protect the religions freedoms of Americans by ending the anti-Christian weaponization of the government. “The Founders established a Nation in which people were free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or retaliation by their government,” Trump’s order states, adding that the previous administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The task force uncovered the Biden administration’s radical policy agenda and documents cases in detail in the recently issued 200-page report, which includes over 300 pages of exhibits and evidence illustrating how individual federal agencies discriminated against Christians. Besides the DOJ, they include key agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Health, and Human Services (HHS) as well as Homeland Security." . . . More...

As Democrats Foment Ever More Violence, They Continue To Find Ever More Ways To “Defund Police”

 AFNN

"The“Get Real” host, George, started this podcast by asking Diane about the latest tyranny in Blue Washington State: A new law destroying Americans’ constitutional right to vote for their county sheriffs, which was just slapped down by a judge. Under this law, a Democrat-appointed commission would be deciding who can run for sheriff and who cannot. They also have the unconstitutional authority to kick an ELECTED sheriff out of office. In 2021, the former Democrat governor put Katrina Marie Johnson on the commission. As the head of Black Lives Matter-Seattle, she had orchestrated four months of violence in Seattle in 2020 which killed two black teen bystanders. In 2024, the current Democrat governor re-appointed her. SEE ARTICLE LINKED BELOW*.

We are losing that because we are not following the document which has kept us free since the late 1700s.

"Steve also discusses how the 14th Amendment (to give former slaves citizenship) is being intentionally misinterpreted in order to facilitate the invasion of foreigners. Diane interrupted Steve to mention a footnote in a US Supreme Court ruling which The Left claims creates “birthright citizenship.” Here it is:

"In Footnote 10 in the 1982 Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe. The issue in the case was about whether or not a state could constitutionally deny illegal alien children the same public school education as American children. Justice William Brennan created a central focus of legal and political debate regarding birthright citizenship. In this footnote, Justice William Brennan wrote that “no plausible distinction . . . can be made between resident aliens whose entry into the United States was lawful and resident aliens whose entry was unlawful” in the context of the Fourteenth Amendment’s jurisdiction.

"The Left has spent the last 40 years arguing that this single footnote effectively created a “constitutional right” to birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens, a concept that was never intended by the 14th Amendment’s framers." . . . More...

While he was a serviceable Luke Skywalker in numerous Star Wars movies, it was actually the much more dynamic Harrison Ford who rose to superstardom playing Han Solo.

"Hamill has always been somewhat insipid, but now he’s taken his hate to new levels and is openly wishing for death to strike the president of the United States. I have always cared about our country and its leaders, but have never once prayed for the demise of those on the other side. Why? Because it’s sick.

"Once you cross that line, you are no longer a concerned citizen practicing your First Amendment rights and simply voicing your opinion — you have become an evil cog in the progressive machine that is working feverishly to destroy this country. (Trust me, I live in California; I know of what I speak.)" . . .  

🚨 NOW: The White House is EVISCERATING deranged Mark Hamill for openly egging on the death of President Trump
The SAME Mark Hamill that Barack Hussein Obama just welcomed to his trash can library in Chicago
THEY WANT 47 TO BE KlLLED.

. . . "These other books by notable authors ($40) It's always a good time to learn about community organizing and structural racism. Add these fun titles to your child's summer reading list, or get the whole neighborhood involved by starting a book club—in which case you should probably get them on Amazon for half the price." . . .

. . . "This gorgeous lapel pin ($30) This "unique accessory" was designed by Sameera Chukkapalli Holmes, a former NYU professor of ethical leadership and an architect who specializes in sustainability and social equity. It allegedly represents the "intersection of bold design and global leadership."

The design of the library is referred to as Brutalist architecture: . . . "is an architectural style that emerged during the 1950s in the United Kingdom, among the reconstruction projects of the post-war era. Brutalist buildings are known for minimalist construction showcasing the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.^] The style commonly makes use of exposed, unpainted concrete or brick, angular geometric shapes and a predominantly monochrome colour palette; other materials, such as steel, timber, and glass, are also featured.

" . . .I suggest this must be the cheapest, fastest way of restoring bombed-out, devastated cities such as Britain and Germany after WW2. A legacy of Adolph Hitler's destruction..

 No! No! I do not call Obama's Library "Nazi"; aren't we all sick of that?
