Action by this judge remind me of the time in the early 60's when Bull Connor jailed Martin Luther King and a number of his followers in Birmingham Alabama for parading without a permit. For a short time he was "Mister Big" within his small circle but in the country at large he only demonstrated the injustice being perpetrated. Bull Merchan, like Bull Connor will occupy a place in history far different than the one he envisions for himself.

Substitute “C I A and F B I agents” for “military troops” and rethink the implications.

I hope they have a good plan. My suggestion would be as follows:

1. Enact legislation providing that being present in the United States without legal authorization is a felony punishable by forfeiture of all assets, immediate deportation, and a 5 year bar to reentry for any reason. Any entry or reentry after enactment of the legislation would add a 2 to 20 year term in prison and a lifetime bar to reentry.

2. Provide a 6 month period for voluntary exit without imposition of penalty.

3. Limit trial court jurisdiction to the sole issue of legal authorization for presence.

4. Provide for enforcement of the law by both state and federal authorities.

I think it was described as abdominal surgery. I went to the dictionary for this and found the following:

Abdominal surgery is surgery that involves the opening of the abdominal cavity. It typically involves the treatment of diseases, conditions or injuries involving the lower digestive tract (stomach and bowels), liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts, or surrounding soft tissues.

Depending on the specific condition, it may have been necessary to open the cavity and make major repairs. Healing could be both physical and mental and involve considerable time for recovery. Also, the resulting scar could be a real problem for some individuals. Vanity can't be discounted especially for a young and vigorous woman with a high public profile.

I think she indicated in her statement that the cancer had been discovered by test following her surgery and that chemo was being delayed until she recovered from the operation.

Sometimes we just need to stop and think things out.

First, the current House will have nothing to do with certifying the presidential election. As happens every two years, all 435 seats will be up for election in November and a new House of Representatives will be convened on January 3rd 2025. The first act of the newly convened House will be to elect a Speaker. That may be Johnson, or it may not depending on who the majority wants at that time but it will be the new House along with the Senate that certifies the Presidential election. That certification will be under the new procedures enacted into law under the last democrat led House.

Second, Johnson is the Speaker, not the Dictator of the House. With the current membership, and a Democrat led Senate, he does not have the leverage to get the budget he or most of us want. It does appear he successfully kept the 60 billion for Ukraine out of bill. If he tried to hold out and a government shutdown resulted, it would have only taken a week or so for the democrats to use current House rules to force a vote over his objection and pick up one or two republican votes to pass the bill. In the meantime republican candidates in tough election for both the House and Senate would have suffered with the voters. Sometime, discretion is the better part of valor, something Cong. Green doesn't seem to understand.

Isn't it time the TXNG rolled out the Active Denial System demonstrated 10 or 12 years ago. Video online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzG4oEutPbA

Prosecutor given a Hobson’s Choice or as my grandmother would have said, “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t”.

All 435 seats in the House will be on the ballot in November. Especially this year, the border will be a major factor in many of those contest. This vote was conducted for the sole purpose of highlighting a burning issue and will be a factor in many campaigns. That is why 14 democrats voted with the Republicans on the resolution. Also wavering Republican were put on notice. You have to play the political game to win and you have to win to govern.

Thanks for the clarification. In addition, there was a Feb 5, 2021 article in the New York Times, which said "president biden" would bar his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, from receiving intelligence briefings traditionally given to former presidents. While I doubt President Trump would be interested in a briefing organized by biden or his cronies, it does show the pettiness and lack of character of sleepy joe.

Republican or Democrat is strictly based on self identification. There are a number of self declared Republicans who would not actually vote for a Republican candidate if their lives depended on it. For some reason they believe their opposition carries more weight if mislabeled. Think of the former husband of President Trump's 2019 campaign chairperson and the opposition money he raised. Another good example is a former congresswoman from Wyoming. Often these people are delusional and money spent in opposition by them is a net plus for the candidate they oppose.

I watched part of the hearing today and never heard anyone ask Mr. Hur how Biden gained possession of the documents when he was Senator and Vice President. It is my understanding that no one but the President has unfettered access to classified documents. It seems to me the major crime was stealing them, not necessarily possessing or storing them.

You make a good point. Sometimes in our zeal we forget reality. If we continue to eliminate the most objectionable of the group, we will eventually eliminate the most desirable. Remember the most important vote in the House is for Speaker and if you lose that, no other vote means anything. While Mr. Buck might not have voted correctly on some issues, he didn't vote for Jeffries for Speaker either. There is a long time between now and the November election and a complete Democrat control of government is certainly not what I would consider a success.

There were over 450,000 more votes recorded for all Senate candidates than recorded for all Presidential candidates. That seems to be a high number who skipped the first race on the ballot.

Don't know much about her except that she and Joe Manchin stopped the Democrats from expanding the Supreme Court and eliminating the filibuster.

Things have really gotten bad when you have to read the article three times to realize it is a parody from Babylon bee.

You hit the nail on the head. Repeal of the 17th Amendment would do more to restore the careful balance between State and Federal power created by the Founding Fathers than any piecemeal action by individual states.

In medicine, collateralization, also vessel collateralization and blood vessel collateralization, is the growth of a blood vessel or several blood vessels that serve the same end organ or vascular bed as another blood vessel that cannot adequately supply that end organ or vascular bed sufficiently. (Medical Dictionary)

Personal story: While undergoing a coronary angiogram I was listening to the doctors performing the procedure discuss the unusual extent of collateralization. Being totally ignorant regarding medical terms I assumed they had found something really bad. Being a fatalist, I went home later that day and started updating my will. Later I looked up the term and found collateralization was a good thing. It was at least five years before I underwent an angioplasty and had stents installed. Still kicking over ten years later.

I don’t think the growths shown in this video are the same. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Prediction: Turner reported that Zelensky threatened to enter peace talks with Russia unless the pending aid bill is approved.

Which one of the multiple defendants is going to be the first to subpoena him for discovery and as a witness if there is ever a trial. First question: Is there a royalty arrangement with anyone or was any advance payment made?

I haven’t seen any numbers yet, but suspect Tucker’s viewership for this interview was greater than the combined number for all of the so called Mainstream Media.

I believe this was a cloture vote (to cut off debate) and the bill still needs to be voted on (simple majority vote). Once passed by the Senate it will be delivered to the House for their concurrence. Speaker of the House is opposed so who knows in the current environment.

There will still be an election and someone will be elected. If it is a safe republican seat, the new person will probably be a republican. Chances are when Trump is elected, he will carry a greater majority into office with him and they will likely be more supportive than the ones leaving.

Just an interesting thought project: Remember the term "fraud vitiates everything".

What if it is established that the 2020 election was frauduantly certified for Biden and Congress votes unanimously to withdraw that certification and certify Trump as the winner. Trump is immediately sworn in as President. He wins the 2024 presidential election and is certified as winner by Congress. By the Constitution the current presidential term ends at noon on January 20, 2025.

Considering the plain language of the 22nd Amendment would Trump be barred from a third term beginning at noon on January 20, 2025.

Amendment XXII: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of Psresident more than once.

This would be a good opportunity for the District Attorney or other official charged with prosecuting the illegal to also charge the President and Secretary of Homeland Security with being an accessory to the crime. Their refusal to enforce existing immigration laws created the conditions for the illegal to commit the crime the same as if a gun dealer failed to check eligibility status and sold a gun to an illegal who used it to kill someone.
