If you know the way Washington DC thinks, specifically thinks about their own scale of importance amid a world filled with lesser people who do not understand the value of their elite place in the construction of government, then you could easily predict what is happening right now.
A previous senate bill that would have afforded security details to Supreme Court Justices, is now stalled in the House of Representatives as Nancy Pelosi and top Democrat politicians add an additional set of people who should gain the full benefit of taxpayer funded security details.
Democrats in the House are using the opportunity provided by bipartisan agreement to enhance the personal security services for the Judicial Branch, in order to assign the same privileges to staff, aides and people who work within the administration of government. DC is nothing if not predictable in their elitist view of their self-importance.
At the same time as Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats, along with some insufferable republicans who pretend not to know how these issues are always manipulated to the benefit of the administrative state, are urgently constructing limits and restrictions to disarm lawful Americans; they are simultaneously building their own system of personal protective services to insure they never have to face the same physical risks they initiate upon everyone else.
WASHINGTON DC – […] House Democratic leadership didn’t agree to the vote because they want a broader bill that would include enhanced security, which could include extending protection to clerks and other staff.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise asked House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer during an exchange on the floor why Democratic leadership hadn’t put the bill to a vote after it unanimously passed the Senate.
“I think it’s a very relevant question,” Hoyer said in response. “Hopefully can move that as early as possible. I want to tell the gentleman the reason he thought that it might be moving this morning was because last night I thought I had after discussions with Sen. Cornyn, a way forward both the Senate and the House could agree on. Unfortunately this morning that appeared not to be the case.”
The bill’s purpose was brought into sharp focus early Wednesday when an armed man was arrested near Kavanaugh’s Maryland home after making threats against the justice, according to a court spokesperson. The man told law enforcement he had traveled from California to kill “a specific United States Supreme Court Justice,” according to an FBI affidavit filed Wednesday.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Duck Durbin said earlier Thursday that the House is “ready to move” on the bill, telling reporters that “we’re ready to meet with them and resolve our differences” on the legislation.
“What happened this week with Justice Kavanaugh is a reminder that we live in a dangerous place, and these people are vulnerable and we should protect them,” Durbin said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has been critical of the House for its inaction on the legislation, and on Thursday he slammed Pelosi for what he called a “dangerous dereliction of duty” for slow-walking its passage.
“Inexplicably, this urgent and uncontroversial bill has been sitting on Speaker Pelosi’s desk ever since,” he said. “The same House Democrats whose irresponsible rhetoric has contributed to this dangerous climate are themselves blocking added security for the judges and their spouses and their children.”
Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware told CNN on Wednesday he is still working with the House on a compromise to enhance security, which could include extending protection to clerks and other staff. (read more)
It is simply the way they think…
Pelosi was very clear when she previously erected a fence with armed guards to keep out the riff raff.

Well said!!
They are trying to create another SCOTUS seat opening for Biden to fill, since they have failed to “pack the Court.”
Just when you thought they couldn’t get more disgusting.
Yep…they will stop at absolutely nothing to protect themselves and enrich themselves and families at our expense.
We DID fight a war over this, no?
How do they keep getting away with this revolting behaviour ?
We let them
.
We do? What is your proposal to stop them?
.
Raise the black flag an tickle throats😏
At this point, everyone should know there is only one answer to stopping them but there is no will and no appetite. Pretty Please was correct. We let them. And your asking her that question proves my point.
Every gun owner in this country who believes themselves to be a Patriotic American should be ashamed of themselves. I know I am. It’s about time every one take a good look at ourselves.
Mine is to return to the land based constitution from the British maritime law that we have all grown up under.

American state national.
Because they are our rulers and in totalitarian control for now and for years. We have no options as we don’t have leaders. strategy, organization, messaging or numbers. They have the surveillance state to prevent any of the aforementioned items from ever being implemented. They will be able to crack down on any dissension through the “social credit” system and apply penalties through the digital currency.
Not if we don’t care a fig for their digital b/s or currency or world. Live free. Let them starve while you roam the fields and gather fine things God has provided to feed His people.
And because we failed to take proactive measures under more favorable conditions. Once they threw POTUS out of office the window closed entirely. When should we have risen up? I’ll let the historians figure that one out, it’s above my pay grade.
One can imagine ways to take the country back (or die trying) now but you’ve covered the initial obstacles, after which there are so many others. It would require the destruction of the country. And the Regime would use any and all means available to them to crush any attempt to challenge them.
Which is why I say, our goal now is simply to survive what they subject us to. Everything we read here day after day shocks us and yet it shouldn’t. We know who they are and what their agenda is.
“Which is why I say, our goal now is simply to survive what they subject us to. ”
The problem with that is the fact that I am not a peasant belonging to the corporation of the United States.
I am an American, not a ‘US Citizen ‘.
None represent we the people.
They are employed by the corporation.
Never did I state that you, I or the rest are peasants. Nor am I implying it. Even if that is how THEY see us. The context of the above is relative to the only way to stop them and take back the country, which will not happen.
In other words, sans a civil war, there is no taking back this country. So, of course THEY do not represent we the people.
Wow, giving up before the game has begun.
We can revert back to the legitimate constitution and end it.
The alternative is to fold our hands and whimper.
We can lawfully end this.
We do have the means and authority to do so.

Because of the propensity of The People not to revolt.
That could change.
I hope it won’t be too late.
That will change. I’m not sure what the spark will be that sets it off but it is a coming attraction coming very soon I believe
Refer to picture #2 above.
I would GLADLY live in that Medieval village if that technocratic hell-hole would LEAVE ME ALONE!
Nobody knows what to do to get rid of them.
Conveniently ommitted from “truther” videos on YouTube.
And intentionally too complicated, bureacratic and confusing to figure out on our own.
We need fewer RANTERS and more DOERS.
But we don’t have enough people out there TEACHING CITIZENS HOW TO MAKE CHANGE.
This is THE reason if/why America is taken to her knees.
Hmmmm … I wonder if it’s a coincidence that all these people who claim to be “truthers” and “for the people” who Google’s algorithm thrusts to the top of our choices, never EVER provide ACTIONABLE SOLUTIONS?
Coincidence?
And the whole reason this is happening is because John Roberts is prolonging the ruling so the leftists have “room to intimidate” with tactics that go all the way up to outright terrorism.
And I am sure Roberts thinks he is showing high moral authority in doing this.
Another GOP justice doing what is so common for them. Unlike the left who don’t seem to have this kind of problem.
So strange. I wonder why.
Souter In Roberts’ Clothing
July 20, 2005 by Ann Coulter
https://anncoulter.com/2005/07/20/souter-in-roberts-clothing/
After pretending to consider various women and minorities for the Supreme Court these past few weeks, President Bush decided to disappoint all the groups he had just ginned up and nominate a white male.
So all we know about him for sure is that he can’t dance and he probably doesn’t know who Jay-Z is. Other than that, he is a blank slate. Tabula rasa. Big zippo. Nada. Oh, yeah … We also know he’s argued cases before the Supreme Court. Big deal; so has Larry Flynt’s attorney.
But unfortunately, other than that that, we don’t know much about John Roberts. Stealth nominees have never turned out to be a pleasant surprise for conservatives. Never. Not ever.
If I had to bet, I’d bet that it was a roberts staffer leaked the decision.
I don’t think so. My belief is it is one of the new people surrounding our new leftist can’t define a woman can’t follow rules or laws communist supreme KBJ.
And, the only increased security for a staffer is if someone provably publishes their home address. That’s it!
Robert’s is compromised. He is allowing all of this.
There was a “John Roberts” on the aircraft manifest to go to Epstein’s Island.
Staffers aren’t being doxxed or threatened with violence.
But, but, they COULD be!
Especially in light of their plans for us.
they should be. how else can their evil behavior be deterred
This is probably more to keep them in line and prevent anyone from leaking documents.
SCOTUS said that a U.S. President has not standing in a Presidential election lawsuit. Now, SCOTUS and their family members are under threat. The consequences of the 2020 stolen election get bigger every day.
Or as Rev. Wright might say: Thier chickens are coming home to roost
Malcolm X said that about JFK.
But SCOTUS and family are not threatened by those whose votes they allowed to be negated, they are supposedly under threat by the people THEY allowed to illegally overthrow the presidency.
But the president they screwed over would have already seen to their security, and certainly wouldn’t have signed this grotesque expansion.
The SCOTUS left the entire Nation to fend for ourselves as best that we can.
I could not possibly care less if they were to suffer the same fate. Well, except for Thomas & Alito. I’d defend them but the rest of the cowards & communists… can KMA.
Sorry. Not sorry.
So n0w maybe the lib *Justices* (and others) will see how things really are and start ruling *per the law* and drop the *activist* nonsense!
You must understand that the ProgreSSive justuses will have enhanced Metro police protection to fill any gaps. ProgreSSive DC Mayor will cya for Nancy Pelousy.Same for Montgomery County, Maryland.
my hate for them grows very second
It won’t help them when the SHTF.
Nope

This is to provide cover for the “leaker”…
What “Leaker”??? There was No Leaker, things just happen in DC, no causation, no responsibility, Mr. Dindu Nuffin Biden reigns supreme. A perfection in the presidency, no responsibility, scream and yell, he doesn’t hear well, doesn’t care either.
Are lobbyists included?
Since when did the states’ Constitutionally approved militia, aka National Guard, become the private army of the federal government? This has got to stop!! IMHO, those 26k NG soldiers called up by Pence or Pelosi or nobody is admitting to it, were hostages, especially the 5k held in that killing field, the parking garage. Not to mention the very hostile commander, Clarke, I think his name was. States, keep your militia at home!! You’re gonna need them in the near future.
national guard is not the state militias
Exactly right.
Case in point, contrast the Florida National Guard with the Florida Guard. Both organized, with differing chains of command based on status. Then you have the unorganized militias run by citizens themselves.
👏
“National” guard is Not militia. NG can be “Federalized” by the Feral Gov Presidente’ and taken away from State control.
YOU are the Militia, Ready???
Since 1865, General.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Guard_(United_States) The National Guard is a state-based military force that becomes part of the reserve components of the United States Army and the United States Air Force when activated for federal missions.[1] It is a military reserve force composed of National Guard military members or units of each state and the territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, for a total of 54 separate organizations. It is officially created under Congress’s Article 1 Section 8 ability to ‘raise and support armies’.[2] All members of the National Guard are also members of the organized militia of the United States as defined by 10 U.S.C.§ 246. National Guard units are under the dual control of the state governments and the federal government.[1]
If only we could put them all in protective custody.
For our protection.
Some good news regarding gun security out of Ohio (Ohio’s response to Uvalde? Armed teachers and $117 million – Ohio Capital Journal)
Responding to a spate of gun violence in American schools and communities, Ohio Republicans have offered a two-pronged approach: guns and money.
Last week, Republican state lawmakers passed legislation that will allow local boards of education to allow teachers to carry a firearm. Up to 24 hours of training must be required, but a board can demand more of its teachers. Should a board opt in, it would need to disclose to parents that one or more school workers are armed.
Additionally, lawmakers appropriated $105 million within a broader spending package targeted toward preventing school shootings. Of that, $100 million goes for grants of up to $100,000 per K-12 school building for security measures; $5 million goes for security at college campuses; and another $12 million over two years goes toward a bureaucratic body created as part of the legislation to allow teachers to carry arms.
Both bills are en route to GOP Gov. Mike DeWine, who has indicated he plans to sign them.
…so telling….that state legislatures have to act, one by one, in order to provide for the natural rights that are enumerated clearly in the Constitution……to put it another way, by negligence and inaction, each of the 50 states can now support denying its citizens the rights enumerated in the Constitution.
Exactly! We already have laws in place to protect Citizen rights, Kavanaugh being one of the Citizens. They have been abandoned by our Justice system and now we’re having to fight to get our Constitutional rights re-instated. Insanity.
However, some State Constitutions mirror the U.S. Constitution and guarantee (more or less) the right to bear arms. I’d rather fight at the State and local level for my rights, than at the Federal level.
https://ammo.com/gun-laws/mississippi-guns-ammo-2nd-amendment-overview
The flip side to this coin is, now when teachers push their trans story time and a parent confronts them they can pull the gun on a parent. If teachers were good people, I wouldn’t be so pessimistic about this decision.
I hear ya and not a bad point. I know this is completely biased but I find that often the ones that carry are smarter than the ones that don’t and I would rather be prepared for a mass school shooter and then hope that normal ethical moral parents will take care of any pedophile trans pushing teacher in front of the class. Can you believe we’re actually having to discuss these problems, unbelievable where we’ve gone in the last 2 years.!
I thought about that also. How maybe the Whimpey lefties wouldn’t have the nerve to carry so the real men and women would display dominance. That’s the outside shot I’m hoping for.
Still, nobody has got an answer as to if the Uvalde shooter was an illegal alien??
Anyone wonder why?
All we are hearing is “gun control” demagaugery. No focus on the shooter or his origins.
Can some good Treepers with searching skills get us an answer?
if not mentioned then he could be illegal living with grands and druggie mom and absent dad with both parents hx of jail time would it be in courts awarding custody to grands????
Derp State gonna derp.
Wow, the “Employees” are revolting against their “Employers” (We the people), Fire them!!!!!
NanJives doesn’t work for her electorate and she never has. *Who does NanJives work for?* Start asking that to everyone and anyone who mentions politics. Americans need to start asking the right f’n questions (this is not directed at you VAIO)
I’ve known for years Woohoowe and it’s time we set the “Employees/Employers” relationships back to the original design.
I did NOT hire people to tell me how to run MY business!
Starting to look like a soviet animal farm style politburo.
From Hinkley being cut loose to dozens of Antifa/BLM not being charged to the Kavanaugh situation, the Cabal is trying to normalize violence against conservatives. And, they’re getting the predictable cover from the “media”.
A Cold Civil War by any objective measure.
Nasty wants to protect the progressive interns because she knows what we all know……one of the lefty judges interns leaked that opinion piece. My guess is there are more leaks planned and Nasty is getting ahead of the game.
This Security isn’t going to be carrying those awful guns are they? Shouldn’t they just be assigned social workers?
The rules made on high apply to the great unwashed masses, not to the members of the politburo.
Yes, even the lowest of the low members of the politburo rate security & perks far above the great unwashed whose duty it is to shut up & pay the bill.
Like Sundance indicates–they really are quite the important ones, aren’t they.
Didn’t they just give themselves a hefty raise last year, amid our sinking economy?
Four legs good, two legs … never mind.
I am expecting they give themselves a raise soon. Their way of fighting inflation
Yes, they vote to restrict our rights all while they expand there ability to have armed protections.
Also, the FJB FBI is arresting the Dems political opponents (Mr. Ryan)…yet, Ray Epps and Mr. Sullivan are free.
They have a sham committee going prime time to peddle a false narrative about Trump sparking Jan 6th (while they hide Pelosi and the Capitol police’s actions- including the murder of several unarmed people).
Not enough yet l? Well, FJB goes on Jimmy Kimmel last night saying there WILL be a “mini” revolution if Rowe v. Wade is overturned and Schumer gets a man to go after A SCOTUS Justice w/a gun.
I don’t need to say it here but if more people don’t start waking the F up….well, I think it’s self explanatory.
Oh- one last note- Yes, DHS’s Ministry of Truth was working behind the scenes with Twitter to at a minimum silence you but at the most put you behind bars- just ask Navarro, Ryan, and all of the Jan 6 political prisoners.
Insufferable elitist pigs.
Today it might sound crazy but I’m thinking where to put my guns where they might be useful but unavailable in case of some type of gun confiscation!
Call me crazy, but I do believe that enough Republicans will cross over in the Senate Aisle & vote yes for the Red Flag Laws.
Man I can’t believe how fast they are taking over our country.
Communism was conceived the very year of our founding.
Slowly then suddenly…
Doesn’t sound crazy to any reasonable person. I have been contemplating Vietnam style tunnels in our backyard and accessible surrounding areas. Having to go underground is far from inconceivable to those who are paying attention, and I used to think the preppers were nut jobs. Just ahead of their time I guess.
The original builders of our current rural home was big into growing their own food. They built large underground concrete storage rooms into a hillside. These spaces are well constructed and well vented with outside ducted airflow. Because they’re underground 10 feet or so with concrete passages, they’re perfectly hidden and dry bunkers, ideal for discreet storage.
That’s just plain awesome to have in place in these dark times.
Be careful! A cave is a grave.
I already have, be smart, be prepared, be ready but don’t give away your hand.
We are the riff raff. More printed money. They milk every bill for benefits for themselves.
They don’t pass any law unless are personally getting something out of it.
Just exploiting the “crisis”. You know, “business as usual”.
Always one of their own making, n’est-ce pas?
First Schumer blows the dog whistle by threatening a SC Justice, then a sketchy nut case shows up with a bag of weapons and burglary tools, then the Washington Post announces the blockbuster story, and then Congress wants tax-paid security guards for all the elites. How convenient.
I should think the US Marshall service might be tasked immediately with enhanced protection of the SCOTUS Justices. Surely, there is existing security at SCOTUS, which could be expanded without Congressional action at least temporarily.
Expansion “in order to assign the same privileges to staff, aides and people who work within the administration of government” seems too massive to even contemplate. Surely the various Departments already have some security.
I can’t tell if this is just the unreasonable expansion of government, or a deliberate move to leave Kavanaugh unprotected until the release of the Roe v Wade decision, as a means of intimidation.
If I were him, I would move myself and family, secretly, to a secret location, until the decision is released.
The “controversy” is almost all among the fanatic Left. Even the NYT, I believe, has started dealing with the newsworthy aspects of moving the regulation of abortion back to the States. NY, for example, wants to be a sanctuary for abortion seekers from other states, and appears to be working to get out front in the competition among the pro-abortion states to attract that new “business.”
Once the decision is made, the controversy WILL move to the State capitols, where it belongs. There may be long-term haters who will continue to wish conservative Justices ill, but the risk should decline over time.
It may flare up again briefly when the leaker is uncovered. As I recall, one clerk is a close friend of the reporter who broke the story. A simple lie-detector test for that individual – to be followed if he doesn’t fail and confess – with similar tests for all the clerks, should get him to fess up.
…deliberate move to leave Kavanaugh unprotected until the release of the Roe v Wade decision, as a means of intimidation.
If I were him, I would move myself and family, secretly, to a secret location, until the decision is released.
Such a move would only remain a secret if
(1) NO ONE in his office knew where he had gone and NO ONE had the ability to contact him directly
(2) his wife begins homeschooling the children immediately and NONE of their friends have any idea where they are
(3) the utilities for his new location are not in his name
(4) all vehicles he has ever used (personal or “business”) are never used by anyone in his family again
The people who are in places of authority who are assisting all of this ugliness to thrive will remain in authority going forward.
Who is going to administer the lie detector test you suggest?
Once one of them “fesses up”, what impact do you believe that will have?
There is no way for a Supreme Court Justice (or you or me) to live so anonymously that no one will know where he/we are.
It has not been true for DECADES that “everyone is equal before the law”. Since that is the extreme case and becoming more extreme by the week, simple answers which presume accountability and enforcement of existing law are worse than useless. They lead to a false sense of security.
In discussing who knows where they are, there is a difference between “no one” and “no one who would further dox them.”
If the laws on the books were enforced, none of this is needed. And the new rules out of this kangaroo congress will have everyone protected but anyone who expresses an opinion other than those permitted by the DC Cabal.
40 people jumped on this post.
Now think of the millions, hundreds of millions, who remain happily oblivious to the treason planned against them, daily, and on their dime.
I’m grateful that I found The Last Refuge years ago. A refuge from the national insanity, as well as the national ignorance.
Sundance I hope you’re on the mend!!!!!
They give themselves armed security…..
and take away our guns…….
Brilliant……..simply brilliant.
What guns? We ain’t got no stinking guns. Lost ‘em all in a boating accident 😱
I caught this…Hoyer thought he and my reprehensible CoC bought and paid for senator (small s) Cornyn had an agreement last night but in the morning found they didn’t?
Perhaps Cornyn checked his full to overflowing inbox to find out what real Texans think of him. I hope someone delivered the message if he capitulates to the Dems, he’ll be needing to rethink his career choice in the future.
That’s a lot of guns!
One more thing to the list of things to undo beginning Jan 2025.
“The Justices Are Protected… Nobody is in Danger” – Pelosi Defends Blocking Bill to Provide More Security For SCOTUS Justices Despite Foiled Plot to Kill Kavanaugh

America’s “native criminal class” (Mark Twain) doing what they do so well….
I can’t even read any more about the separation of the haves and have nots. When ALL charges were Dropped from Pelosi’s DUI husband, i decided I had enough. It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and NOTHING changes!
Reports of Pelosi’s charges being dropped are false. He is scheduled to appear in Napa County Superior Court on August 3. He is currently on $5,000 bail.
Do the Staffers, Aides, Receptionists, Chauffers, and DC Employees have the Right to Carry in DC?
If not…perhaps that needs to be changed…just like we need to get rid of Gun Free Zones.
The Tree needs watering.
The Rise and Fall of the . . . . .
Pelosi: the peasants are revolting.
The peasants: do you really want us to revolt?
Stop the presses! President Puddinghead needs more ice cream!…(and an administration not full of dumbasses)….
Of course they want everyone in their immediate circle of subordinates and associates protected because they intend to invalidate or override the Second Amendment.
“they are simultaneously building their own system of personal protective services to insure they never have to face the same physical risks they initiate upon everyone else.” Well, that’s because the two are inexplicably linked. It also tells you that they are s#it scared. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out where this road leads.
Is there some unknown- as- yet …swamp Mosquito borne virus that is making these people crazier than usual?
Just off the charts 🤪 crazy.
Well, it’s very fitting that Congress looks increasingly like a prison because it’s full of crooks.
LOL! Perfect 🙂
They’re worried about the children.
The focus and aggressiveness of the security will be proportional to the person’s allegiance to the deep state.
the corruption of dc does not end until a million armed American citizens march on it and raze it. all the homes of congress, judiciary, staffers, employees, and lobbysists. it’s gotta be burnt up. nothing in the last hundred years has even put a dent in the rate of debasement and corruption of Demon City (DC).
No.
As a vehicle driver, I demand to be protected from Plastered Paul Pelosi.
