Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan appeared on Capitol Hill to request a ten percent increase in Supreme Court budget spending.  The intent is to hire additional security to protect themselves from the outcome of their rulings.

Justice Barrett talked about the harrowing threats to herself and her family as the Court wants to bolster security.  The overall appearance before congress is slightly ironic considering the increase in threats is a direct consequence of court rulings that have opened borders, blocked deportation, stalled law enforcement, granted illegal aliens rights to citizenship and generally undermined our nation’s domestic tranquility.

Sorry, but my opinion on the matter has adjusted to new information.  The Supreme Court should have to live in the reality of the world they judicially create. No additional public security should be afforded.  They have a security detail that supersedes any security level a taxpaying American citizen might be afforded.

No expanded security details should be afforded to government employees, just to avoid the consequences of their ideology.

Mrs Barrett and her family can carry self-defense firearms, wear protective vests and worry about their security in the parking lot of the local supermarket just like we do.  Not to be obtuse, but the Constitution equally applies.

The professionally Republican have been pretending to have 20-minute discussions with Senator Mitch McConnell in an effort to keep the Democrat governor of Kentucky, Andy Beshear, from appointing a replacement.

Beshear has now openly began to challenge the assertions of the professionally Republican team and demand proof of life and capability or he will replace McConnell.

WASHINGTON DC – Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he is willing to launch a legal challenge to allow him to choose Mitch McConnell’s replacement if the senator cannot return to office.

Beshear, a Democrat, told MS NOW’s Politics Nation host Rev. Al Sharpton on Sunday that he “might make some news right here” while revealing the potential options he has as governor to replace the 84-year-old, whose health has been the subject of intense speculation for weeks.

The Bureau of Laor and Statistics (BLS) releases June inflation data [BLS RELEASE HERE].  Overall, the June rate of inflation decreased 0.4%, significantly faster than anticipated as energy prices and gasoline prices dropped.

Consumer demand on non-essential goods and services also contributed to a lowering of overall inflation as consumers continued holding back spending on products [Table 2].  Despite the tentative consumer spending, we should still anticipate significant GDP Growth in the second quarter as the value and volume of exports will push GDP statistics, despite consumer spending contraction.

[Table 1]

To be brutally honest, we are still in a painful cycle created by the Biden influx of illegal aliens, non-productive consumers, that have significantly exploited the U.S. economy.  Until that influx can be removed from domestic consumption, there will remain artificial, inorganic upward pressure on all prices.

Deport more illegal aliens, cancel more H1Bs and other visa exploits, and we should see inflation retract to pre-influx levels as well as a return to upward pressure on wages.  A net gain in domestic economic wealth can happen with significantly stronger efforts toward removals of illegal aliens (economic migrants) who are consuming at a level higher than the economic productivity associated with their existence.

78-year-old Ann Widdecombe was a well-known conservative in British politics. She was a staunch defender of free speech, a direct opponent to leftist cultural Marxism and an advocate for the commonsense Reform Party.  Widdecombe was against abortion, gay rights, transgender advocacy and wokism writ large.

Ms. Widdecombe was beaten to death in her home Wednesday July 8th around 12:30pm by an assailant who drove 270 miles to kill her. Immediately the police said her murder was not politically motivated and not connected to foreign or domestic terrorism.

Despite the credulous claim that her brutal murder was not political in nature, the reality was her murderer drove over five hours to kill her. This was an obvious premeditated, calculated and targeted murder.  However, the politically correct leftist media and political institutions within U.K. government, were desperate in trying to deny the obvious.

Yesterday, the British Counterterrorism Police took over the investigation. “Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, said that as a result of “new information and evidence,” specialist counterterrorism officers were “now leading on the investigation into the horrific murder.”” {citation}

Today, it is admitted that her killer had a library of communist and Marxist ideology.

(DAILY MAIL) – […] Yesterday the probe was taken over by Counterterrorism Policing South East which announced the suspect had been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The suspect, who remains in custody, was the son of a teaching assistant. Relatives said he had become reclusive after the sudden death of his engineer father last year.

There are no confirmed reports on the subject matter of a national address announced by President Trump for Thursday at 9:00pm.  However, there is speculation in/around DC that President Trump may reveal the outcome of an FBI investigation into the 2020 election system that took place in Fulton County, Georgia.

[SOURCE]

The rumor that President Trump may be outlining evidence of 2020 election fraud was enough to spontaneously trigger Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Vice-Chairman Mark Warner.

The core of the issue is how the International Criminal Court (ICC) has been expanding its self-believed power and now seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law system.   The ICC is threatening to file charges against U.S. law enforcement who conduct border security operations and deport illegal aliens.

If it is an ideological policy of the ICC they now feel empowered to prosecute and/or arrest American citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.  Recently elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is in full alignment with the intent.  Once the NYPD can be replaced with U.N police, things will likely gain forward momentum.

Comrades, if you stop your 12-year-old daughter from removing her breasts, and or transitioning, you run the risk of the ICC sending Interpol officers or U.N blue helmets to arrest you.  Similarly, if you refuse to give illegal aliens access to your extra bedroom, a formal ICC complaint could be filed, and the same mechanisms target your home ownership.  WATCH:

MARCO RUBIO – “Most of us would struggle to imagine a world in which U.S. soldiers, police officers, Border Patrol agents and elected leaders could be dragged before an international court, tried by judges from random countries across the globe, found guilty under international laws we neither consent to nor control, and then imprisoned thousands of miles from America.

But that is what the International Criminal Court now claims the power to do.

The ICC was born at the turn of the century. At first, it was marketed as a narrow backstop to prosecute the gravest crimes. Now the ICC and its allies seek a standing world tribunal with near-unlimited reach, empowered to override the courts and constitutions of the U.S. and other sovereign states—and to prosecute and arrest our citizens.”
