Speaking of The Supreme Court

At minimum Justice Gorsuch validates Trump’s presidency, along with all of his lower court appointments and now replacing Kennedy. Gorsuch is a brilliant legal mind and is true to the Constitution and the rule of law. A Hillary Clinton presidency would have further packed Federal courts and done incalculable damage to the country. In ten years we would probably look like the farthest left-leaning European country. England or France, anyone?

In the Janus case involving forced public-sector union fees, what is it about leftists that makes them want to force their ideas on everyone? If unions are so good, shouldn’t they be thriving instead of dying? They once served a useful purpose but over the decades became corrupt bureaucracies that now largely function to fund the Democrat party.

Good Riddance, Justice Kennedy. He made some good rulings: most recently in the Janus union case, and in his scathing dissent on Obamacare, but also made many bad ones: most recently on gay-marriage. As the court’s “swing vote” Kennedy seemed to relish his power and you never really knew which way he would go. He seemed to view himself as the smartest guy in the room and a “philosopher king” when often times it seemed he was simply making up law as he went along.

Four Dissenting Votes in Travel Ban Case Are Disturbing

Justice Kagan has at times been shown to be reasonable. Ginsburg and Breyer are flaming leftists as is Sotomayor, who to boot has proven to be a judicial lightweight. Fortunately Kennedy is retiring so Trump gets another appointment and Ginsburg and Breyer are by far the oldest on the court. Two more retirements and a 7-2 Constitutionalist versus leftist split is not out of the question.

Until Mexican Drug Cartels Are Crushed, The Border Crisis Will Continue

Mexico is among the most-violent nations on Earth and sadly sits on our border. It’s murder rate is at least three times that of the “violent” US, and one study determined it was second only to Syria in murders during 2017.

“Cartel violence is getting worse all over Mexico, not just along the border. Last year brought a record 28,710 homicides nationwide, and this year is on track to surpass 30,000. May was the deadliest month ever recorded in Mexico since the government began releasing homicide data in 1998—2,890 people were killed, an average of four people per hour. By comparison, only Syria is more violent.”

Oh, and if you hadn’t heard, Mexico has strict “gun control”. Except of course, criminals do not care about silly gun control laws. When you are going to rob or murder, what is another gun possession charge?

Open Forum

Every once in a while a get an unhinged, undocumented ad hominem attack from a leftist. I will publish every one because unlike them, I believe in free speech. Feel free to chime in on the comments such as the one I received today.

The Far-Left Has Destroyed Tolerance, Decency and Decorum in America

Press secretary Sanders kicked out the Red Hen Restaurant in Virginia because of her politics. To the far-left morons equating this to the “gay wedding cake” fiasco, it is not. No baker refused service, just a “gay cake”. Furthermore, notice that nobody on the right is suggesting the government get involved here and put the Red Hen out of business: that is what the left does. Instead, we will use the marketplace to destroy this business…anyone who is not a left-wing nut should boycott the Red Hen immediately and forever.  Done.

And there is more. Leftist activists are harassing the DHS Secretary at home:

Florida AG confronted at a Mr. Rogers movie:

And unrelated, the dumbest article of the day, NPR considers Trump cabinet members eating Mexican food to by “hypocritical”. Funny, I do not recall them saying this about Oblunder when he was locking up Mexicans!

As I predicted the other day, the left is becoming increasingly radical, militant and violent. It is long passed time to fight back with everything we have, including some of the same tactics they use.

Shock: Leftist Media Lying About and Exaggerating Border Crisis

Left-wing media is at it again, using pictures of tiny urchins supposedly ripped from their parent’s arms to create sympathy for the plight of illegal immigrants. There is just one problem, the pictures in question are from the past, are misleading, or are not even of children who have been detained. This is what the left-wing media in the US has become: lying propagandists. Time mag (Slime is a better name) used a picture of a girl on its cover juxtaposed with Trump. The child, while detained, was not separated from her mother. One slimebag activist used a picture of a kid from a protest, who had been put IN THE CAGE by his mother! Now the LWM has been called out and will offer a weak apology at best, but say “yeah, but this sort of thing IS going on”. Lies, lies, lies. All of it.

My only surprise is that Time did not use an angry-faced picture of Trump screaming at the poor girl.

As I said before, the political left is getting its ass handed to it, so they are agitating the immigration problem to gin up votes.

The simple fact is that the left does not want comprise on immigration. They want open borders, immediate amnesty for millions of illegals, and millions of new Democrat voters. Their goal is to turn Texas blue so that they will have a lock on the White House for at least a generation. If they cannot get this, they are more than happy with exploiting the current situation. One can only hope it blows up in their face.
