In the BIG PICTURE a local New York City District Attorney has created a criminal case, structured on a federal crime, that the federal government has stated was not a crime. This is the Rubicon that has been crossed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. In essence this is extreme Lawfare in action.
In response to the jurisdictional issue; in addition to the substantive political construct of the case; the largest mechanism within congress, the House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed officials from the District Attorney’s office to answer questions about the construct of the case. A return-fire lawfare response.
In reaction to the federal response and inquiry, DA Alvin Bragg filed a lawsuit against the House Judiciary Committee [Filing Review HERE]. District Attorney Bragg also asked for intervention against the subpoena, an injunction against the authority of the House oversight, that was immediately DENIED by the court. Alvin Bragg really doesn’t want the House to investigate his case.
Appearing on Fox News to outline the House response, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan explains the issues at hand {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:
Jim Jordan is correct in the unprecedented action from Bragg, that preceded the unprecedented action from congress. This is a battle of Lawfare operations with significant long-term consequences for the entire justice system. The political motives for the New York, Atlanta (GA) and Washington DC cases are transparent.
Expect non-cooperation if not active opposition from the Federal DOJ, both ‘legal’ and illegal.
Yep. Until the case implodes, which it eventually will.
All this talk about ‘national divorce.’ We already have it with Blue States flouting the law and flouting Congress.
if we were divorced, i wouldn’t have to keep sending them money or pretending they have a say in my life.
You must not have any divorced dad friends 😀
Lol
The Republican Party ceased to exist as a functioning law-abiding / law-enforcing body once it surrendered its spine to the democrats & allowed their watergate-sham to force Nixon from Office … as a thank-you for Republican cowardice … the democrats immediately abandoned the Vietnam Peace Treaty, betrayed our South Vietnamese Allies & did NOTHING as the VietCong Communists turned the entire countries of Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia into blood soaked “Killing Fields”.
Republicans have been “reaching-across-the-aisle to their good friends” ever since … Decades later … the lying, draftdoging, military-America hating, war protester, Bill Clinton – was President … and … offered The Vietnamese interest-free/tax-free business “loans” (taxpayer financed) as reparations to the Vietnamese for their hundreds-of-thousands of family members he & the democrats helped slaughter … voila … Nail Salons from coast to coast!
Decades later the UniParty of RINORATS … worked together to steal President Trumps landslide re-election and continue their destruction of America.
Spoiler Alert:
WeThePeople will NOT get tax-free/interest-free businesses loans – in America or Vietnam.
In California they also received home loans for about 2% while the normal interest rate at that time was well over 10%. Many engineers and professionals could not get loan approvals to buy houses while the VC took over swaths of silicon valley/Santa Clara County real estate.
Jordan knows the routine and his role played in it. Tick Talk
He confers with Trey Gowdy every day for tips and pointers.
I just hope that Jordan’s pontificating results in something more than talk. Is he the next Rooster head?
I’m afraid he is. Actions speak louder than words, and donor $ speaks loudest of all.
oh, quit predicting.
He’s right
Is there some particular reason why he should do what you demand?
Is it predicting or is he using past (recent) history to make a sound and wise assessment? I would say the latter. History and the past point to Dutch being correct.
Why is it that when the Dems are in control- it’s non-stop action? Yet when R’s are in control- it’s all talk?
$ $’s speak loudly indeed. In constitutional construct – The US House is capable of speaking very loudly.
The US House, if it chooses, controls the $ $’s. All spending begins in the House. Turn off the spigot. That will obtain the attention. Make highly specific obtainable demands. No cooperation – no $ $’s.
Everything else is jibber-jabber.
All spending begins in the House except when the dims want something really bad. Then a bill can originate in the Senate, i.e Obamacare, can be altered, added to and flat-out changed to read however the dims want and be passed in the middle of the night against all opposition. Also, a jury in Manhattan can indict a ham sandwich and do the will of a Soros.
Correction: All “revenue” bills must originate in the House.
Spending bills have no such restrictions!
You are close about the ACA sham.
They took a House bill, gutted all of the text, and inserted Obamacare into the H.R.
Roberts rewrote the law and called the unconstitutional fee in the text, a tax!
Because Jim Jordan showed his support for president Trump.
The knives will automatically come out for Jim Jordan And the Republican Party he belongs to.
I have come to accept it.
But,I feel sorry that people are ready to blame or punish Jordan.
He is fighting for Trump.
It seems like they must have a miserable life because they’ve given up all hope.
I don’t know what it’s like to live without hope. It must be terrible .
I just can’t imagine it.
the Democrats try to convince us every day the world’s going to end because of global warming.
I’m lucky I’m smart enough to Know
when somebody is trying to control me by Fear Mongering.
People with no hope are suicidal.
The stakes can not be higher. Comfort and polling data are officially irrelevant… for all of us.
What has Jordan actually done except talk ? That is my problem daily dog and pony shows both sides do it not a dam thing happens…Prove me wrong….
“What difference at this point does it make!?”
Let’s hope Jordan has a PREPARED answer to that whiney stonewalling when it comes.
The House has no power to bring charges against anyone. All they can do is write a report and submit it to the DOJ for possible prosecution. The DOJ will do nothing. End of story.
Actually…I remember Pelosi stood up a new Capitol Police force based in multiple cities around the nation in 2021 or 2022. That reported to her. And the Capitol has its own jail. If McCarthy was so inclined he could send his NYC-based Capitol Police team out to grab Bragg and haul him down to DC, throw him in the Capitol jail and give him the same treatment J6’ers have had. Years without a trial, psychological terror, deny him his rights as a seditious traitor to the constitution he swore an oath to uphold by charging the former POTUS.
Pelosi created the force for her to use it that way. If McCarthy wasn’t playing for the same team as Bragg he could do all I describe
unfortunately McCarthy is a hack for 1 party rule.
Seriously doubt Obama DOJ would allow McCarthy to do this. Pelousy doing it would be no problem.
That would require more courage than exists.
If that is the case, why can’t the J6 people be freed from prison?
So, we have to destroy the Constitution, to save it?
I’ll pass on that one!
The house DOES HAVE POWER. if the house would choose it could lawfully constitutionally create its own INDEPENDENT COUNSEL..with prosecutorial power!
People tend to forget this because history got blurred after the Clinton case. There has been no prohibitions in the law that prevents Congress from forming it’s OWN independent counsel.
Doing it of course would require extraordinary circumstances and even then would create another ginormous political fighting.
My opinion is that congress must push forward and damn the torpedoes.
These are extraordinary moments. Much corruption abounds. Challenging the lawlessness of NYC DA would be shot across the bow. It would give many people great pause considering what the very real implications are and what the future looks like when state DA’s decide to file frivolous corrupt and blatantly political criminal charges to influence elections and to persecute political opponents.
Congress has a duty here. Congress has the power to put the screws to Alvin Bragg. Congress has the power to ready aim fire against a host of corrupt prosecutors who are lined up ready to burn down the law to produce political results
When a state judge cannot seem to see and respond correctly to frivolous and very dangerous manipulations of the court justice system. Then congress must act.
Will congress follow through and launch a independent counsel?
Are THE PEOPLE demanding it…voicing their position on the matter…calling on their representatives to make
what ought to be
What is?
Gos Bless America
If Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee discovers in it’s investigations of Bragg/his staff and former staff that there is a link between the WH and the Manhattan DA’s office in pursuing current Potus candidate Trump’s indictment,then Jordon can inform Biden that he will file an Impeachment Bill in the House accusing Biden of interferring in a National Potus election..
Remember,… the House Dem leadsership did this to President Nixon in ’73/’74 for this same reason, interfering in a National Potus Election, a crime, based on the Watergate Break in to obtain files from the DNC’s offices there. Nixon resigned to prevent an Impeachment.
The House indeed has the power to bring charges,…. let’s hope Chairman Jordon can and will, instead of talking big about Biden/Bragg’s obvious political corruption.
the link between Xiden and Bragg is that prosecutor Colangelo….
https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2023/04/11/meet-partisan-trump-prosecutor-matthew-colangelo-n1686386
Bingo.
You are totally uninformed about watergate and the Nixon thing. Water gate was a CIA operation to cover their own A$$. As their were the JFK killers, and Nixon was on to them. Ford was a rino/CIA stooge .
Yeah that’s why Nixon had tapes and erased them.
Nixon was innocent of Watergate but was set up to develop a process crime, which he may have committed (unclear since there was never a trial). He had bad counsel on his side, probably the legal team was ill-advising on purpose.
Pas du tout,… I lived through Watergate and followed it closely in the NY Times, Wash Post (Woodward/Bernstein & Deep Throat) and LA Free Press at that time,.. did you?
The Dims used the Break-In of Watergate and Nixon’s coverup of the crime to pressure him to resign because they told him they would Impeach him for the crime of Fed Election Interference, as a result of the attempted burglary of the DNC offices at Watergate.
Senator Howard Baker (R-TN), ranking Republican on the special Senate committee convened to investigate the 1972 break-in at Democratic HQ, finally told Nixon in the Summer of ’74 that he would not survive an Impeachment vote in the Senate, so Nixon promptly resigned and Veep Gerald Ford who ascended to the Presidency then pardoned Dick Nixon of any and all crimes, which set up Jimmy Carter’s election in ’76.
Yes, James W. McCord, Jr., a former CIA operative and CIA plant in the Nixon Admin was head of security for President Richard Nixon ‘s 1972 reelection campaign. Sans Nixon’s knowledge, McCord ran the Plumbers outfit that planned and got caught (thanks to MaCord’s intentioal perfidy) trying to burglarize the DNC offices in the Watergate Complex building in WDC that led to the entire affair and eventually Nixon’s demise.
Yes, the CIA wanted to stop Nixon from revealing the truths of Potus LBJ illegally weaponizing the Fed Govt to spy to suit his and the DNC’s needs, among other secrets concerning the CIA’s nefarious activities for years.
Former CIA Director, Allen Dulles, a younger brother to John Dulles who was the US Secretary of State,… are the two men that JFK offended the most with his failure of the Bay of Pigs episode and his plans to pull out of S VN, in addition to planning to disband the CIA. The CIA had many Secrets to protect,… still do.
Not true. Not one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon.
No Articles of Impeachemnt were ever brought against President Nixon,… however,…
Rep Sam Irvine (D-NC), Chairman of Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, which investigated the Watergate scandal during the administration of Richard M. Nixon, let it be known that their initial intent was to get the evidence of the Watergate DNC Office Break-in and use it as evidence of Nixon’s intent to Interfere in a Fed Potus Election that would lead to his Impeachment on those grounds,… ironically, the 1972 election that Nixon won in a thunderous Landslide. It’s a fact of Watergate history.
Atty John Doar, the appointed Special Independent Counsel for the Watergate Judiciary Committee reported to the Committee that Nixon should be impeached for charges on: “abuse of power for political purposes, obstruction of justice, defying Judiciary Committee subpoenas, and tax evasion.”
The Judiciary Committee then produced their 64page report, entitled “Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment that concluded that impeachable offenses could fall into three categories: “exceeding the powers of the office in derogation of those of another branch of government,” “behaving in a manner grossly incompatible with the proper functions and purpose of the office,” and “employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or personal gain.”
As stated, in the end, No articles of impeachment were filed against Nixon and the Judiciary Committee ended their investigation two weeks after Nixon resigned.
If Chairman Jordan soon finds evidence that the Biden Admin has colluded with DA, Bragg to indict Potus Candidate Trump in order to politically hamper his elect-ability in ’24, then John Doar’s finding of “abuse of power for political purposes” can be used against President Biden as grounds for his Impeachment, should matters proceed that far.
Additionally, the Watergate Judiciary Committee’s finding of “employing the power of the office for an improper purpose or personal gain”,… as in, accepting $ from foreign sources for Influence Peddling, which is also a violation of the Federal Bill President Carter signed into law, “The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act”, these violations can also be brought as charges of impeachment against Joe Biden.
The Marxist Dim’s Lawfare Scheme has now woven a web to deceive,…. let’s see Jordan sic’em to see if they haven’t caught themselves and Joe Biden it in,….. instead of Donald J. Trump???
“Though the Heavens may fall, let Justice be Done!”
And probably the reason they are still hiding the JFK records from the people.
Now that RFK, Jr. has announced for the ’24 presidental run as a candidate,… you bet they have Reasons to keep it hidden another 75 years, no?
And it would be no more than another circus. The GOP doesn’t have the votes to impeach in the House and certainly not he votes to convict in the Senate. You now at least 3 or 4 RINO Senators would never vote to convict Biden. Also in the end you would end up not better, you would have Harris for the President.
Yes, the Senate would probably not convict, but the corruption exposure would cripple Brandon so bad that he couldn’t run in ’24 and would unmask the DOJ/FBI and Dim AGs/DAs as the corrupt managers a our now 2 tier Justice system that they are running. This is a function of Congressional Oversight.
It would also take some heat off of candidate Trump as the Dims would be scrambling to put out the exposure fires coming from Swamp leakers concerning Impeachment/Bragg.
Because the Dims used this strategy to take down Nixon, they can’t now bi*ch and carp about the GOP using it now on Biden/Bragg who are clearly Guilty of Federal election interference,… a Crime that falls under the legal purview of the House Judiciary Committee..
Might the Dems secretly support all of this to thrust the destroyer of California into the spotlight?
Imo, should impeach Biden on any or all of the 10 or so violations, because the Dems are likely to push Newscumb on the country anyway. Attempt to expose all crimes and let the chips fall where they may.
Yule Brynner as Rameses II : “So it is written, so let it be done!” – The Ten Commandments.
this^
I think you meant the committee behind Obama would still be in charge.
very good background. I agree. IF the house can produce evidence that Bragg or even his staff and lawfare sought white house direction in this case. i would also add DOJ to this line of inquiry.
remember: it was DOJ that “adviced” bragg not pursue this case. That was widely reported in the press with the narrative illustrating that bragg was “careful and diligent”…(or something to that effect)
so it would be appropriate to subpoena bragg for all communications it had with DOJ, White house and any other party
God Bless America
The House can also cut off all funding.
Funding overall has been a powerful tool for a long time.
The federal and state end of things each have their own sets of tools.
the House needs to re-read the Constitution articles that pertain to them THEY (without the Senate) can ABOLISH courts that they have jurisdiction over. Abolish all the federal courts with SOROS judges.
And they can Impeach Federal Judges! Former Speaker Gingrich has called for this for years now regarding rogue Fed Judges who overtly violate the US Constitgution and our Rule of Law, not mobs of men (Soros).
And that last statement is the nub of the issue… the people can/will never require a higher level of morality from their Government than they are willing to accept for themselves. Sadly, the USA is now under judgement akin to Abraham’a plea for Sodom and Gomorrah, “Lord, would you destroy the righteous with unrighteousness? Would you spare them if there were found 50 righteous in their midst? …45? …25?” Only individual and National repentance will prevail at this late date. In the end Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for want of ten righteous souls.
God will not destroy us. But He will and likely already has taken His hand of protection and blessing off of this country. This country will suffer the consequences of what it’s people and especially its leaders have sown.
Our destruction will not come from God. It will be at the hands of our enemies. Our borders are gone, the enemy has been firmly seated within the powers of our governments and those that have control of the levers of our society. Our churches are weak. Consequently, we as a nation are weak.
We are in 2 Chronicles 7:14 territory. This country will be humbled. Surveying the landscape, it won’t be voluntary.
I very much much appreciate your legal knowledge that you share here at The Treehouse. Thank you regitiger!
I am just one man. Who cares. I take my inspiration from this terrific and noble group of patriots here at CTH.
this IS my last refuge. I work because this is the sacred oath I swore..to GOD..To family. To country.
I would regret and be a broken man looking back many years from now and realizing I had the opportunity and did nothing.
A sacred oath is important. We all have out own definition. I simply put that in prayer and move in action.
I comment here to urge others, not to follow ME, but to do the right thing and to be creative…to realize that the narratives about what your power really is…doesn’t even skim the surface.
when men and women of this country decide to take action…things happen. results are achieved….a fight occurs….the battle for right and wrong is a noble and righteous cause.
We are dealing with infidels, reprobates…incurably lawless actors. they occupy a space of power they do not deserve, nor can be allowed to continue.
we aim fully AT THE SPECIFIC PEOPLE..and take them out.
if that happens to involve manipulating some of our representatives to achieve that goal…so be it.
God Bless America
As I said before, it would take courage that doesn’t exist.
we can USE the corrupt to achieve our DESTINY.
exercising power does not always mean avoiding the dangers….it almost always involved danger (grave danger is there any other kind?)
I am secure in the knowledge that my representative of the state of louisiana have a dog in this fight.
so they can be influenced EASILY, with very little effort from THE PEOPLE.
but leading this rebuke and overthrow of corrupt DA abuse of power has to also include the voices of PATRIOTS.
transferring power is not one single thing.
it requires an assortment of applied force.
God Bless America
My representative is now (lines redrawn) Bennie Thompson, ugh. I will need to contact others.
By the way, I love Louisiana Rep. John Kennedy! I wish he was ours! In a way I can claim him for us.
He was born at the same Mississippi hospital as me.
New York’s DA office is federally funded. All spending originates in Congress, specifically the House.
They can de-fund a lot of NY City programs including the DA office. The power of the purse.
That is also Schumers bluster about de-funding other federal programs about a Senate resolution, that does nothing. The Senate has no control over the House. Give Jordan some credit, and least he isn’t just lying down like the rest of the GOP.
No. He’s play acting like Trey Gowdy did.
Evidence uncovered by the House could lead to possible discovery of wrong doing by Bragg/minions/DOJ. If there is corruption in the matter, sunlight will help bring the criminals to court/jail (hopefully). Trump could take the discovered evidence and use it against Bragg/his minions. If there are fair/fearless judges, Bragg may end up disbarred/in jail.
If there were fair/fearless judges we would have seen some of the election fraud presented before them after the 2020 election. None of the evidence was ever seen in a courtroom bc all the unfair/fearful judges claimed the plaintiffs had ‘no standing.’ Remember?
IMO, most likely the fearless judges are either appointed by Dems or RINOs like Bush 2, and ‘fair’ is not in their vocabulary. They have nothing to fear as long as the current regime is in power, unfortunately for us.
Bingo you nailed all BS ..All hat no cowboy !
I wish Rush was alive to give JJ a much needed alias. Just like rooster head. All hat and no cattle.
the justice system in the US is a WWF match.
More like monkeys flinging their poo against the wall to see if it sticks
except that the WWF is more real.
I don’t know…. I’ve seen monkeys throw poo at a wall and people too. It’s pretty real.
Oh, you’re talking about WWE and the Justice System…..my bad…..lol.
Trump is the point man in the battle against evil. I pray that he survives. I guess I am on an FBI watch list now.
The more I read of the FBI’s “new and improved” domestic Terrorist characteristics … the more I want to turn myself in … proudly. I have become that Freedom Fighter side of the Terrorist coin.
Most of here at the treehouse have…
just dont say red pilled or based.
i have no need of nuance and metaphors – i am n o doubt already on their illegitimate lists
let me be as clear as possible: this government is the enemy of the people and it should be removed.
The Federal Judge was appointed by President Trump in 2019. She is a graduate of a Catholic University and served as a US Bankruptcy Court Judge prior to her appointment.
Bret Beyer the scum bag of the ages
The one will will sell l all for a good green ski run
He repeats alllllllll of the other “investigations” against Trump as if they’re all legit and spell doom for PDJT … never once reporting the TRUTH … that not a single one of the endless list of “charges” and investigations of Trump have gone anywhere. Not a single one.
sayyyyy … where are Gloria Allred’s 17 women who will swear that Trump molestered them sometime at someplace?
More probably all at once…
In Russia…
In between courses at the secret dinner he had with Putin on January 5…
To plan the violent overthrow of our government on January 6.
That about right?
You forgot to add two scoops.
On thee lolita express, after Eipstain offed hisself.
You know, DJT sometimes invites the reflexive bombast from the Left.
Watching TC last night, I liked much of what DJT had to say. I also liked his calm demeanor.
I cringed every time he lauded a foreign dictator with “we’re friends”.
I fail to see what is wrong with saying that. You certainly dont want to say “I hate him”.
It’s wonderful that he has an “in” with all leaders in the world, even dictators like Xi and Kim Jong-un. He acknowledged that these are smart people, not low-intelligence thugs as our media has portrayed them. And it indicates that there is an ability to negotiate with them to protect America’s interests without going to war against them.
The only way that the Biden administration deals with foreign leaders is “Bow to me and my ideas or we will hurt you.” That is NOT to way to carry on diplomacy.
It can only be a good thing if what Trump said about Xi and Kim gets back to them and I’m sure it will.
Kenji: I hear you mention the name “Gloria Allred” and
it isn’t even October yet. Who will she find Bimbo eruptions
( only against Republicans, natch) this next election cycle?
Nothing if not predictable.
Baier looks like he’s DeSantis fat older brother.
Baier has evil in his eyes.
I wish I could work up some hope that a modicum of justice would be done.
After watching all the congressional investigations and hearings of the last 25 years……..I have zip, zero, nada.
Went V Foster’s body was exhumed and 2 bullet holes in back of head were discovered, what did CUCKRINOs do???????
they shot their voters in the back of the head
I hear ya Mont, every time I hear “there’s going to be an investigation” I chuckle and sigh at the same time.
Also, a Sixth Amendment violation- “equal protection clause”; i.e. if Hillary ain’t in jail, no one should be.
After the 1960 Presidential election, Nixons advisors pleaded with him, to contest the election.
He refused, because he felt it was more important FOR THE COUNTRY to maintain the whole “peaceful transfer of power,” and perhaps also cause he didn’t want to appear a sore loser.
Fast forward to 2000, and Bush v Gore, a Democrat contests the results.
However, while in subsequent elections where D’s lost, they contested, when R’s lost, they did not.
Then, in 2020, PDJT refused to concede. And is villified for attempts to legitimately contest the result.
After the 2016 election, PDJT kind of put the kabash on “lock her up” (Hillary) no doubt BECAUSE he didn’t want the image or precedent if winners jailing losers,…
And here we are,..actually all this does is expose the Uniparty, the “elites” and their two faced hypocrisy.
Should PDJT win in 2024, and clean out the DOJ/FBI, and should they then seriously go after all of the crimes if Biden Inc. the elites will scream bloody murder.
Even though THEY opened the door, they don’t like it when its their talleywacker that gets caught in it.
put in charge of prosecutions people like Victoria Toensing, Ann Coulter, Kash Patel, even Megyn Kelly. Coulter is my favorite because of her hatred of liberalism and she is wicked smart and can you imagine the verbal bombs she would throw in the courtroom.
Quips like ‘Newt Gingrich went to Bob Dole when he needed money to fight an ethics complaint. It is the first time in history that a human saved an airbag.’
Cavuto pointed out that Moveondotorg had just endorsed Obama, and Coulter’s contemptuous sneering reply is legendary.. “yes, and their second choice is John McCain.” Her contempt for McCain is something to admire, to chisel into granite.
Megyn is second in terms of sheer intellectual horsepower to Coulter, and she would be be at least as effective while being less caustic, if that is your cup of tea.
From Ann Coulter most recent column.
“Everyone acts as if Trump’s 2016 win was a gigantic, stupendous victory, when in reality he barely squeaked by. Don’t confuse “startling” with “big.”
He was running against the most hated woman in politics.
Moreover, the country had been incessantly told that Hillary had it in the bag. On Election Day, The New York Times put her chances of winning at 85%. Princeton professor Sam Wang — who’d correctly predicted 49 out of 50 states in 2012! — said Clinton was more than 99% likely to be the next president. How many Clinton voters saw those polls and thought, I’ll just say I voted for her and go get my nails done.
Yet and still, out of 139 million votes cast in 2016, Trump won with a mere 80,000 votes across three states. Flip those votes, and Hillary wins.”
Now one understands why 5 states shut down voting within minutes of each other, cause if only 3 cheated, Trump wins 2nd term.
Ann’s current hatred of Trump has everything to do with the fact that he jobbed his voters of the wall, the one promise he made five times a day for 18 months. not to mention his outreach to minorities (she is also fond of pointing out to Republicans chasing the minority vote that ‘if you don’t get 51% of their vote, you’re losing’) and doing nothing for white voters (white people still being a majority in the nation, at least for now).
“The Holy Grail year for Republicans is supposed to be 2004, when President Bush won a record-breaking 40 percent of the Hispanic vote. He had to turn his entire White House into a Hispandering operation to do that — and he still lost the Hispanic vote. Republicans have got to stop believing The New York Times line that the only honorable votes are from minorities. It’s honorable to get votes from taxpayers, too.”

I can’t argue with any of her anti Trump assertions, but in her new fandom for DeSantis, I commented on her substack that she is likely to be let down by him as she was let down by Christie, Romney and Trump and that Trump is the only candidate who has any chance of rebuilding the domestic economy and putting his foot down on foreign policy, mostly in the economic realm.
given her track record, who cares what she thinks or says?
please explain something to me.
She writes a book about third world immigration destroying America, Trump reads it, runs on its thesis, wins the Presidency and promptly fails to build the wall, loses, and you sit there and talk about HER track record?
You’re hilarious, all the deep thinking.
My recollection is the slimy Pubs assisted in blocking funding for the wall at every turn.
Leaving Trump to jump through a ton of hoops to get DOD funding to accomplish the mission.
In other words, Trump worked diligently and extremely hard to fullfill the promise while getting no support from Pubs at every step.
Yet this is a massive failure on Trumps part?
I don’t get it. I look at all of Trumps work on the wall and view it as one of his successes.
Especially the part where it exposed more Rhinos.
Hahahaha … exactly … as if Coulter’s choice, Romney, would have even hosted a design competition to develop the most effective, modular, wall design? Ann’s choice, Romney, would have simply hired more government bureaucrats to usher all those poor “children” flooding across our borders … helping them get FREE services from the Catholic, Mormon, and Lutheran social services.
“My recollection is the slimy Pubs assisted in blocking funding for the wall at every turn.”
True enough as far as that argument goes.
Coulter’s response always was that Trump didn’t need Congressional approval because as Commander in Chief his first role was to protect America and he could have done that by Executive fiat. As Ann points out, no one questions Presidential authority when it comes to lobbing millions of dollars worth of missiles at someone
Exactly
Lone, that’s exactly what I recall too. Those who say other wise…..SD talks about them everyday in different articles.
She wanted Romney to be President … says it all. I have no use for her whatsoever.
would you rather have had her campaign for Obama? Of course she was going to support the GOP candidate.
But the question remains, if the candidate loses because of his own incompetence, how does that reflect badly on her?
Why would you tie your reputation to a scumbag grifter like Romney?
It shows she has no principles.
I’m tired of paid agents spreading the lie that Trump failed to stop illegal immigration.
Trump’s victories on immigration have been ignored by both sides.
The second half of 2020 saw 87 percent fewer immigrants from abroad than the first half. This brings the annualized legal immigration rate from abroad to 0.03 percent of the U.S. population, the lowest rate of immigration except for three years during World War II and one year during the Great Depression.
“Trump administration policies that may have caused the slowdown include:
—Reduction in refugees allowed into the country;
—Requiring immigrant self-sufficiency through reform of the public charge rules;
—Mexico & Central American countries agreeing to offer safe haven to asylum seekers;
—Increased barriers and fencing at the border;
—More worksite enforcement against illegal workers and some employers;
—Efforts to end TPS and DACA may have discouraged illegal immigration;”

Watch the clip above where she heaps praise and adoration on Mittens Romney … she revealed who she is … I believe her own words … which is why I have no use for her whatsoever.
Was anything she said untrue? Did he have a nice family, did he have to campaign as kind of a squish because running in Massachusetts was like running in North Korea?
I’m curious to learn what you thought of her remarks about McCain.
Ann Coulter is an idiot, like Karl Denninger. Throw away 100% because that person could only give you 70%, even tho not a single, solitary other candidate would give you even 1%.
You are never going to get 100% of what you want. Ever. Even in a true republic. This is not a dictatorship, where your dictator will do everything you say.
If Ann Coulter had won election as President, she would have had a rude awakening that even she could not get done the things she said she would.
I have no time for people who can’t deal with reality. That’s why I voted Trump. The man at least tries to fulfill his promises.
“You are never going to get 100% of what you want.”
ObamaCare would say the opposite.
Supreme Court on gay marriage would say the opposite.
Open borders would say the opposite.
Nixon being forced to resign would say the opposite.
Indicting Trump for no crime would say the opposite, and now Trump faces a NYC judge and jury….you think they won’t get 100% of what they want?
Dems stopped voting in 5 States and found enough votes to overcome Trump’s lead. That sounds like they got 100% of what they wanted.
It is almost as though you give up before you start on the basis that you’re not going to get everything. But yeah, you’re the smart one.
Yiiikes!! And then … Ann Coulter who I used to like … proceeded to endorse Romney as “the smartest”, “the best”, the most ideal Republican candidate. Sometimes … you have to let people keep talking to reveal their idiocy.
“you have to let people keep talking to reveal their idiocy.”
please elaborate.
Romney, in his own words. I’m not gonna repost them here … but Romney is as conservative as Karl Marx. Having a nice clean cut Mormon family is not evidence of conservative policy-making. Romney is the WORST RINO there is. For Coulter to heap praise on him more than counters her distaste for McCain.
Remember! That BOTH McCain and Romney were SOLD to the Republican voters as “moderates” who could beat Obama. Well … we TRUE conservative voters saw how that worked out. Never again. Compromising one’s core principles … to “strategically” win an election is a FALSE choice. Never again.
And his name currently is DeSantis.
that’s funny, I quoted you, “you have to let people keep talking to reveal their idiocy.”
and you proceeding to keep talking.
Dems aren’t the only ones with no self awareness or sense of irony.
Now you tell ME … why Romney is the salvation for conservative Republicans?
Sunlight disinfectant: just embarrass the absolute shhh hit out of Bragg and his wrecking crew with as big a megaphone and magnifying glass as possible. Make it slow and painful, with as many victim/relatives statements as possible. Use visual aids.
“just embarrass the absolute shhh hit out of Bragg and his wrecking crew”
You can’t shame people in a culture in which shame has been vaporized and where abnormalities, birth defects and utter lawlessness is the highest virtue.
I can’t agree with you on Coulter.
But I can agree with this statement. These people have no shame. None. They are so self-centered it matters not how they portray themselves, what results from it, or how they respond to you…cuz, to them, it’s always the other guy.
“I can’t agree with you on Coulter.”
Fair enough. I can’t agree with Coulter, either, on her support of DeSantis over Trump, though I know her disgust with Trump is simply that he talked lots but didn’t build the wall or tax remittances or start mass deportations, for starters. As I mentioned elsewhere, I wrote to her on substack that her support of DeSantis is going to leave her disappointed just as her support of Christie and Romney was for naught.
My support of Trump might be like a second marriage, the triumph of hope over experience.
But I will always support Ann for being fearless in her opinions which are always backed up by facts.
Ann critics here always laugh at her and say she supported losers in the past, but they fail to mention the part about her going on Maher in June of 2015 and confidently predicting that Trump had the best chance of being the nominee, based upon his policy pronouncements at the time.
Trump didn’t follow through; Ann says the same things now as she has always said about immigration.
They cannot be embarrassed. Look at what they’ve done. They cannot be embarrassed. They must be driven into the dirt
None of this crap stops until a “checkmate” is put on King Soros.
Soros is just one of the corrupt devils involved in the destruction of America, probably a minor one at that.
Who has the list of the “corrupt devils”? Is it the same as Epstein’s list? Regardless, we know Soros and his sons are at the top. Then, many to do with Blackrock and Vanguard. Also, the CCP. Whatever that “cabal” was that was described on that triumphant Time Magazine cover after the 2020 election steal — where they “saved” the election. Zuckerberg, Gates, all of the bigwig DC politicos, both “serving” in government and “reporting” on it. The CIA, FBI — their “leaders” and perhaps the ever-weaseling AG Barr. Oh, and don’t forget Klaus Schwab and his WEF crazies.
Please, add your own.
we are currently in the final stages of Atlas Shrugged, perhaps around the part where Galt is being strapped to a torture device in order to convince him to the be dictator as a means to help the scumbags to avoid losing everything
No, we are in the part where Henry Taggert is in DC lobbying for more cashola.
who is Wesley Mouch?
Greasy Ron DeSantis.
Darn near every republican in dc.is a traitorous hack. These republicans are the problem. Gutless swine is what they are.
You are too kind to them ☺
I like your quotes in “politicos…’serving’ in government “. Immediately I thought the phrase should be “politicos self-serving in government. “
Ken Griffin, Larry Fink, the pedophile billionaire class with ties to Epstein…
“Soros is just one….” He may be just one, but getting rid of him would be a hell of a good start!!!
and a good example.
As Keifer Sutherland said in “Stand By Me”: What are you going to do? You cant shoot all of us?
And the answer was: I am just going to shoot you.
Hemp neck tie!
NONE of this ‘crap’ stops until they are ALL GONE, hopefully, permanently.
Cut. Off. The. Money! Let Congress confirm it on whatever timeline they see “best”
We have our timeline born of love of freedom and love of earthly justice when its attainable – this is attainable: and born of necessity.
We don’t have 18 months and then “riding out” an only partial “fix”: voting out of this mess is based on the premise that you have a lawful, logical, and predictable civic life… we have none of this.
We have all the laws we need. We have a fighter in Trump; a leader in Trump. We do not have Law enFORCEMENT — but we can tomorrow and its a righteous, legit, and exceptionally well precedented path intentionally put in 2A.
Does anyone else notice how, as time passes and issues progress, “they” appear increasingly absurd to the general public (ie. “normies”)?
Things have devolved for “them” to such a degree that “they” now feel compelled to have a demonstratively, politically-motivated and corrupt DA bring unprecedented, UNSPECIFIED criminal charges against a former President…who is the de facto head of and leading 2024 Presidential candidate of the political opposition to said corrupt DA’s own political party…
…and THEN, when a legitimate arm of Congress (House Judiciary Committee) determines the situation warrants closer investigation, as a part of it’s Constitutionally-mandated obligations of judicial oversight, said DA actually tries to sue to attempt to prevent Congress from exercising it’s legal authority!
Meanwhile, and concurrently, in a seemingly separate yet tangentially related matter, Anheuser Busch completely destroys it’s own brand in order to push a politically-motivated social agenda, as demanded by Corporate Equality Index — or CEI — score. See: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/report-reveals-the-alarming-reason-why-bud-light-and-nike-are-shoving-transgender-dylan-mulvaney-in-americas-face/
Total, absolute 🤡 world. And yes, the normies assuredly do see it. All see it (although, for some, acknowledging it openly is a different matter entirely).
So much so, in fact, that if I did not know any better, I would have to suspect that said DA and brewing company were making these grave mis-steps intentionally.
But, of course, we do know better…
This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb:
I am the Lord,
the Maker of all things,
who stretches out the heavens,
who spreads out the earth by myself,
who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,
Isaiah 44:24-25
Of course it’s intentional- for one, VP of Marketing admitted as much.
And, Bragg/other Dems are not stupid. Sadists, corrupt, arrogant- yes.
Great post and I agree the normies see but won’t call it out. Some are in the making and excuses phase. My wife is one- particularly when it comes to Trans.
I think Bragg is stupid. Have you listened to him talk after the indictment?
He’s an affirmative action law school graduate who is only DA because of his politics and his skin color.
First, Bragg is not calling the shots. He’s what is called a patsy. It still doesn’t make him stupid.
Colangelo is calling the shots via the WH.
Bragg isn’t stupid. That’s a grave error. He’s naive. Arrogant. Pompous and proud. Stupid, not so much. An idiot, yes. Stupidity and idiocy are two very different things.
Blackrock’s Larry Fink is a “Rat Fink”.
His sense of self-importance is phenomenally stunning.
It’s my understanding that Congress is in talks about how to raise the debt ceiling at this very moment. The Treasury has been holding off the date for months with trickery.
At this point the House could demand a kings ransom, or default on the debt.
they could hold out for huge cuts in government spending across every agency, maybe bring the budget back to 2005 levels, in the days before Obama Porkulus bill added a trillion dollars to the annual baseline budget…..
Zero out EPA (and the other 3 letter agencies) so that environmental laws get passed by Congress, not implemented as regulations from an agency. That might help reverse the ridiculous idea of phasing out gas powered vehicles and gas stoves. Perhaps propose a law that says every health care facility, from corner clinic to the largest hospital, be disconnected from the electrical grid and tied into 100% renewables. It would be fun to watch liberals say that health care is too important to be reliant upon unreliable renewables.
Perhaps propose a law that every single round of ammunition that Obama bought for federal agencies be seized and distributed to NRA chapters nationwide, to be used as they see fit, either for gun safety and training purposes or simply handed out free of charge (its already been paid for) to NRA members, AND, going forward, federal agents are responsible for buying their own guns and ammunition, body armor, vehicles and gas. Federal law enforcement would be bereft of employees while malls would be crawling with mall cops; no more looting!
It would be fun to watch unarmed IRS agents walk up to a heavily armed NRA member’s house on the basis of the child resident not paying taxes on her tips at the local pizzeria or her babysitting job.
Perhaps gun owners could make a habit of digging grave sized holes in their front yards to welcome federal agents to the property, perhaps a law requiring federal agents to dig said holes upon their arrival on site.
So many opportunities for national renewal if the GOP holds out for what their voters want.
This is how a normally functioning congress operates. This is how Congress the legislative branch can express it’s co equal branch of power.
This is good and this is the right thing to do.
Noting: State attorney generals have extraordinary powers. Make sure your state AG is fulfilling their duties to represent the law and your interests. Likewise your state assemblies should be on your speed dial/contacts.
Voting is the least powerful thing a voter can do. Once every four years is a long time waiting for someone else to put in the work. The other 1450 days is what matters…what you do to get involved… personally.
That’s the challenge.
Just my opinion
God Bless America
L&L my friends.
Bragg is a pawn. He is not the one who made any of the important decisions including the timing of this and he is expendable so it does not matter what kind of an ass he looks like. His job right now is to slow Trump down. Bragg and his overlords know they will never get a conviction much the same way they knew they could never have impeached him. It is all they got and they are playing this card now. This ‘lawfare’ has been war gamed out to the nth degree but things don’t always work out like they are planned.
Another waste of time and money.
Kangaroo court = Kangaroo country
Lets all go tranny!
Jim Jordan really needs to pull out the big constitutional stick that is going to be needed to stop this weaponization against Trump: the Article IV section 4 guarantee to the states that they each shall have a republican form of government.
SCOTUS totally bolluxed the republican guarantee by claiming that they couldn’t figure out what “republicanism” is, maintaining this position even after they had embraced Alexander Hamilton’s definition of republicanism in their adjudication of the First Amendment and elsewhere.
Hamilton at the New York constitutional debates: “The true principle of a republic is, that the people should choose whom they please to govern them. Representation is imperfect in proportion as the current of popular favor is checked.” (Cited by the Supreme Court in Powell v. McCormack, 395 U. S. 486, 541 (1973), and in U. S. Term Limits v. Thornton, 514 U. S. 779, 795 (1995)).
For the people to be able to choose who shall govern them, the first two requirements are:
1) that elections must be honest and cannot be stolen by such mechanisms such as ballot box stuffing (2000 Mules), phony ballot counting (Dominion), or by refusing to deliver ballots to one side (Maricopa 2022), and
2) that the powers of government cannot be weaponized to suppress political opponents.
It would have been relatively simple to use the guarantee clause to overturn the stolen presidential election in 2020. Yes, the Court would need to be convinced that we know what “republicanism” means (or at least one thing that it means), but that’s already in precedent (outside of guarantee clause law) and with a majority conservative Court, it should have been well within reach.
We missed that chance (I have never had success in getting people to listen to me). Still, the honest-elections half of the republican guarantee is the simple part to pursue because all elections, federal and state, are run by the states. Thus the fact that the guarantee clause promises each state that it shall have a republican form of government automatically reaches all elections, federal as well as state.
If a state runs dishonest elections, those are unrepublican elections, making the government that runs them unrepublican. And notice who enforces the republican guarantee: “The United States.” That means all three arms of the federal government have their own independent power and responsibility to enforce the guarantee.
As the full clause makes clear, the anticipated remedy was war (the guarantee to each state that it shall have a republican form of government is joined at the hip with a promise to protect the states from invasion), and so the Court assumed that responsibility for enforcement would usually fall to “the warfighting branches” (another reason why the Court shied away from trying to enforce the clause itself).
As I tried to tell Trump at the time (fail, sigh), he did not need to wait on any court to be able to take whatever action was necessary to nullify the unrepublican stolen elections in several states. What he was hoping at the end that Pence would do, he could have done far more thoroughly himself in mid-November. The Democrats would sue and after that the Court would have had to decide whether Trump got it right. (My pitch to Trump at my link.)
Or he could have presented the Court with a guarantee clause suit against the stolen elections and let them rule first. Either way, the guarantee clause clearly applies, because a seriously dishonest election constitutes an unrepublican form of state government.
The non-weaponization half of the republican guarantee is trickier. It is only straightforward if the weaponization is by state government against its own within-state political opposition. That is not what we are facing today.
Instead there is weaponization of state governments by Democrat state and local politicians (in New York and Georgia), against the leading federal candidate of the Republicans, and weaponization of the federal government (using yet another special prosecutor) against the same Republican candidate, our beloved Donald J. Trump.
Both of these categories of weaponization against political opponents are arguably not covered by the guarantee clause. On the other hand, the arguably ARE covered, and that is an argument that very much needs to be placed before the Supreme Court and won.
It is not enough just to stop the states from rigging elections. That’s huge and we need to do that, but we also have to be able to stop weaponization by the federal government, and the only legal tool that has the power to do that is the guarantee clause.
It has special power because it is the only guarantee in the Constitution. In order for that guarantee to be a guarantee (as it guarantees), it must trump any and every other provision that it may at any point come in conflict with, and that is as it should be.
If we lose our republican form of government we have already lost everything. Logically, the tree of liberty must come first, and that’s how protection for republicanism was framed by the founders. As the only guarantee, it must come first.
That makes it a Sword Excalibur. It is not just every competing constitutional provision that must be set aside to uphold the guarantee, it is every law, every regulation, every legal norm.
SCOTUS does net tell the country what legal case it needs to present to the Court to win on a particular issue? That would be assuming an improper activist role? By norms yes, but that is exactly what they should have done in 2020, and it is what I think they would have done if they understood the guarantee clause themselves.
They would have written the winning legal briefs themselves and handed them to Trump. That was the only way to keep our republic from being usurped, and they are charged by the guarantee clause with guaranteeing that that did not happen. They failed that guarantee, we all did, and now we are in the much more difficult position of trying to get it back.
So we need to put the guarantee clause in play, belated as it will be. How to do it?
One way is to go for the whole enchilada via a kind of “reverse incorporation” (interpreting a provision of the Constitution that is worded to apply to the states so that it also applies to the federal government). With the guarantee clause, this approach is very propitious, because the wording of the clause actually seems to require that it be interpreted as applying to all levels of government.
Since each state falls not just under its own state government but also under the federal government, the guarantee that a state shall have a republicanism form of government is violated if either one of those forms of government is unrepublican. It’s right there in the words:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” If any part of the state government is unrepublican, then the government that the state is under is unrepublican, and if any part of the federal government is unrepublican, the government that the state is under is unrepublican.
There can’t be any election stealing anywhere, and there can’t be any weaponization of the powers of government against political opponents anywhere.
This is a completely logical and compelling and even necessary reading of the words that are already there, it’s just that the Supreme Court, pouring over its magnifying glasses, has never gotten within a thousand yards of this issue before, so it’s all new territory, but it should be winnable.
Then there is the usual approach, where cases are presented that only ask the Court to follow a line of constitutional interpretation one step at a time. First get the Court to recognize that yes, it does know what the first requirements of republicanism are, in a case that purely applies state elections for state officers. Then get it to expand this to state elections for federal officers. Then expand the clause to cover weaponization of state powers against intra-state political opponents.
Then maybe there is an interim step that could be argued: that Bragg’s weaponization state powers to suppress the opposition party’s national candidates violates the republican guarantee by depriving New York State voters of their right to vote for the national candidate of their choice. Once that argument is made, go on to make the case for “reverse incorporation.”
Given the lateness of the date, it is unavoidable that much if not all of the usual incrementalism will have to be rolled into one case. The individual steps that all logically follow one after the other will have to be laid out for the Court to accept all at once, because we have gotten to the last minute with the most important provision in the entire Constitution in a state of complete desuetude. It’s the damned Court’s fault. It should have been blocking insecure voting systems for 200 years on the grounds that they undermine the guarantee of a republican form of government.
This is one of those “we have to stop the terrorist every time while they only have succeed once” things. Once we have been usurped (as we have been), we only have a long-shot of getting our republican form of government back. That’s why we needed the Court to be vigilant all those years, when instead it was not paying any attention at all. Confront them with that and they might feel some compunction to rectify their long history of tragically costly blundering.
Not abiding by incrementalism would be a huge step for the Court, but that is where the top priority nature of the republican guarantee being a guarantee comes in. It must take priority over every other constitutional provision, so of course it takes instant and total priority over mere norms like judicial incrementalism.
At this point, any opportunity to put the guarantee clause into play is a desperately needed opportunity. So it’s not the simplest case. We will have to get the Court to recognize weaponization as a violation of republicanism in a case that is not entirely at the state level.
That’s fine. A three-point instead of a two-point shot. We’ll take it. We just need to start scoring.
This is fascinating and educating information, Alec! I will watching and hoping something moves forward in this direction. I will also be informing others to the best of my ability about this issue. I have always wondered why the case has not been made that if one state’s federal election was rigged (much less multiple states) that it would affect all other states.
It is so sad what these Marxist/commies have done to this country. It really is about the
America-loving vs American-destroying.
Thx Magnolia
What about disbarment? What about filing a criminal complaint against him for abuse of office, perjury? Stop talking and do something that puts them back on their heels. All the republicans do is play a weak defense.
generally speaking a prosecutor can be charged with misconduct. I use this term liberally. A judge can rule on it independently for a variety of blatant rules violations. Color of law abuses included. Delimiting grand juries to exculpatory evidence in order to achieve an indictment for instance. willful failure to proceed with a timely speedy “trial”. leaking grand jury material to the press to influence the trial in the media. These are things that a judge can do without a motion from the defendant.
Absent that independent action, the defendant can file those motions..on the same arguments…with evidence. The judge MUST rule on those motions.
there are other prosecutorial misconduct violations that can actually rise to criminal.
for instance, fabricating evidence. Willful destruction of evidence. Committing perjury before the court. Willful filing of false court documents. conspiring to defraud the court.
at the lower end of the violations…where potential penalties are censur, recusal from office or a case, expelled from the court for a period of time, disbarment, monetary fines and penalties….these occur on matters involving: bringing frivolous indictments..(no specific underlying criminal violation!). engaging in blatant political abuse of office (DA office is a particularly powerful position so the bar is held high for integrity). repeated filing of baseless and poorly constructed motions before the court. Pressuring or influencing jury members in an unethical way. publicly alleging criminal acts of a defendant but failing to actually bring charges/indictments to those alleged acts. Stacking charges….stretching the extreme limits of interpretations and then breaking away from the norms and customs of reasonable prosecution. (i.e, If I drive 10 miles over the limit and 1,000 people paid 100 dollars fine and it’s a speeding ticket…it would not be fair or regular that I receive a 500 dollar fine, a criminal felony violations and my license suspended. So “stacking charges is a type of prosecutorial misconduct..and a judge can find the prosecutor held liable personally for this kind of lawless contempt for the common practice.
beyond that…as with the latest news that president Trump has sued cohen for 500 Million…apparently on the basis claim that cohen violated his signed contract: an NDA ..and also caused harm through his mismanagement as Trump’s lawyer AND that he has slandered President Trump and caused a false claim that has aborted into a very real criminal violation indictment. So too can President Trump sue the state of NYC (I am not sure he can sue Bragg directly..I’ll have to research on that). President Trump can sue the office of the DA (state of NYC), after the case is dismissed. if it goes to trial, even if President Trump is acquitted or ends in mistrial or even if the case gets thrown out by the judge….President Trump is unlikely to have a shot at a suit. The key is that the case must be dismissed FOR CAUSE. Meaning, the case is meritless. Has no basis…something very fundamentally wrong about how the case is constructed. I believe that the case presents no underlying crime is that error…and from that alone, this case will be dismissed…before the trial even begins …as it should.
then President Trump can sue the hell out of the DA’s office…and maybe…just maybe that causes these reprobates to lose their jobs. It would also be important going into three other cases pending. It would hopefully force those other prosecutors to think hard and long if they are willing to risk getting exposed with a lawsuit about their abuse of law and inadequacy to be in such important positions.
God Bless America
I will once again voice my view that the corruption of the legal system is the most dire issue facing the USA. Everything else is linked to it.
I blame Al Gore for the brilliant notion to litigate a Presidential election. Set off a chain reaction.
So, is this more smoke and mirrors to protect the System, or will he actually require this “DA” to be held accountable for crossing the rubicon, as he mentioned the WSJ story. And if he does proceed with the latter, will he object when the System retaliates. We will find out.
One should consider the power Jordan has provided to the Pelosi types moving forward. Every federally funded program is now under review of a traveling Congressional panel? Meanwhile Congress cannot control spending?
Yes, Bragg is politically motivated here and did use federal funds. It’s wrong.
But so is Congressional Committees investigating actions like they are law enforcement.
It’s not in the interests of the public to have this type of reaction.
Say what one might…..unfolding history is truly fascinating. It’s quicksilver how fast one must adapt from one perspective to another. For example, state versus federal rights/priorities.
it’s amazing that one DA, one Judge, or one Secretary or State can literally change and /or grind the entire country to a halt.
It’s certainly NOT “democratic” by any stretch of imagination.
So the DemonRATs are completely full of bull manure when they complain about Republicans harming “democracy.”
Unsustainable for a functioning republic.
Jim Jordan is the new Trey Gowdy. It’s all hot air. He will look great doing nothing. He is a very rich man selling out our freedom of speech to big tech. Paul Ryan’s boy.
quit predicting. you sound like the news media. they dont do news or facts, just conjecture.
Many comments today are indistinguishable from a psyops effort. A “you are helpless” message repeated in many different formats. Believe some bad monkeys have found their way into the treehouse.
This is your big chance Jim. Do a good job and you will get a book deal and become a TV personality like your predecessor Trey Gowdy. Maybe even a slot on the BOD of Fox News like Paul Ryan. You’ve earned it! Hey, what the heck, what difference at this point does it matter. The country is toast and under complete control of the NWO WEF globalist masters.
I can only hope that your prediction not true, that Jordan is the exception to the rule – – but if past is precedent as they say , odds are probably less than 50 /50 at best …

Not only that, but DA Bragg said in his immediate afterwards press conference that he DID NOT have to specify exactly which crime(s) were committed by president Trump for the 34 counts of indictment.
How is that not setting off EXTREME red flag in regular Americans with more than two brain cells?
“Kaddafi” the commies.
Interesting. The “left” brings a sham case. So the “right” is going to create laws that further separate the little people from being able to do anything about the big people.
Sounds right.
How about instead, every DA in every county in the US arrest a federal politician and try them locally.
Ultimate power of the people.
I am humbled to know that all of this does not happen without the permission of our sovereign Lord. The Lord says, do not be anxious about anything. It may take generations to straighten all of this out, but know that God sees all of us.
Meanwhile, Congress has not passed a Budget in 10 years and our debt has grown substantially.
Sooo tired of this off the rails business.
Yes, Bragg is off the rails.
But Congress is off the rails too.
So if an overly indebted Congress supplies monies they don’t have to local DA’s, they then can charge the taxpayer further with a dog and pony show in the DA’s city when they don’t like the usage of the monies?
I am generally for Republicans, voted Trump 2x, but we are not getting anywhere without consideration for the root of the problems.
Congressional spending (overspending) without accountability has to be dealt with head on.
I am a weary prayer warrior, but gonna tell my soul “Why so downcast oh my soul? Put your trust in God.” The saints are praying, Satan, and you are a defeated foe! “Jesus came for this purpose; to destroy the works of the devil.” I will not give up or give in. I WILL take great comfort knowing that thousands upon thousands of us are contending for God’s mercy on our nation, and indeed, the whole world. Additionally, I always pray that God removes these evil-minded(lost) people from their areas of influence and raises up righteous leaders in their places. 🙏🏼🤺✝️
’They’ want him in prison where one of their people can get to him, where he ‘Epsteins’ himself. They can achieve this with a jury in Manhattan where all the jurors are MSM followers.
Bragg is no different than a BLM punk being used as human cannon fodder against Donald Trump, the rule of law and civil society.
Bragg’s been agitated beyond his intelligence (he really thinks – without a shred of actual evidence – that the former president is a bad guy in general and a racist in particular) and feels fully justified to take him out by any means necessary irregardless of the law or long-standing jurisprudence.
And if Bragg is viewed as a buffoon, gets destroyed in court or even gets jailed himself….. who cares!? …. he’s just another expendable useful idiot.
While we watch the clown show play out the globalist cabal is moving armed ‘illegal aliens’ into positions through out the USA. It would be a big mistake for patriots to get cocky and think any kinetic operations will be an easy victory. I suggest we use this time to prepare and pray.
Lawfare is doing the same thing with J6 charges and stretching things into crimes that are not crimes. Congress should be investigating this as well, since they created the law that they are stretching.
Court sides with Justice Dept. on Jan. 6 obstruction charge

This means we could go after Anita Hill and Blasey-Ford and her beach friends.
Notice Bill Barr’s statements are very clear that the charges President Trump is being indicted for are obviously politically motivated yet, he pivots from that to discussing whether President Trump should testify or not.
If there’s no crimes and the charges are non existent why even discuss strategy.
The background serving as a federal Attorney General 2 times, Barr should be outraged at the lack of laws being followed and the imminent danger to the whole country if we allow this to happen.
That Barr is not speaks to how dirty he is and confirms he was brought in to clean up the Russia mess before it completely blew up in their rotten, treasonous faces.
Barr should be on the short list of traitors.
Bragg, do your real job and you won’t have to worry about the House. You have much bigger problems, beginning with yourself.
George Soros was an acolyte (at LSE) of Karl Popper. Popper wrote the book: “The Open Society and its Enemies.” Soros calls his foundation the Open Society Foundation. An Open Society…as opposed to a Closed Society…does not create the planned Utopia…it creates Lord of the Flies. Either Soros is an Ideologue…or he is short the dollar…or he is a blend of both.
Since when has the rule of law applied?
I commend any principled politician (there are so few left) like Jim Jordan for even going on Fox News at this point. But I suppose that if you keep some enemies close, and play the game of pretending that they’re not against you, then some of them will play right along and at least allow you to air your side.
But Jim is right, it’s all about politics. The Left hopes to pile so much onto that one man, President Donald Trump, that the sheer weight of charges and invective crushes him politically, forces people to believe that SOMETHING criminal must be going on else why would he always be in the crosshairs? They’re trying to influence the low-info voter who hasn’t grasped how totally corrupt the system has become, who doesn’t realize that his own government is currently one of the biggest threats to his being able to live a peaceful and productive life. The Left sees the battle as existential and increasingly, hopefully, others are coming to realize it.
Do what you have to, Jim, despite how it might be spun on the execrable Fox & Friends. It’s long past time for the gloves to come off.
Elise Stefanik (R-NY), a nice Catholic girl from upstate, grills Jonathan Turley (Georgetown Law) and Nicole Parker (FBI Whistleblower) on weaponized DOJ >
Could RICO be used to destroy Lawfare?
I suggest that Jordan subpoena known Lawfare members and question them about who their partners are. He could start with Andrew Weissmann.
And yet we all go along with it. If the federal govt states there is no crime, then how can a local city govt say there is?
Trump should ignore this crap and dare the NYC cops to come and arrest him.
We continue to be taken for a ride going along with the enemy’s nonsense.
Bragg is too stupid to come up with this “plan” himself. Thus the hiring of the dude from the DOJ recently.
Tick Talk Run Out The Clock. Jimbo does this better then anyone else.
Should write a book about the art of it. I say this after years of watching and waiting.
Restore election integrity and we can fix this peacefully. But no, they all pretending like nothing happened to our elections during the covid hoax while they tick talk there way into 2024
I’m sorry but I can’t help but feel that Jordan and his committee are working feverishly to run the clock out on the thing a la Barr and Durham.
Run the clock out on what? Getting to the truth?
When was the last time a Republican led effort ended with Democratic lawmaker’s head on a pike. Like when Trey Gowdy put the people behind Benghazi debacle away or was it when Ms. Lindsey Grahamnesty put HRC behind bars. We need scalps not more promises to get to the truth
The truth is out in the open already. It’s time to deal with the criminals. But, dealing with them, may mean Jordan has to put his friends under the gun too. Can’t do that…got dinners and stuff to go to.
Run the clock until the clock stops
Don’t be sorry…if you don’t want truth, why whine?
Like Jordan said weve endured this witch hunt on this man for 6 years..why? Because he doesn’t accept the pabulum puking liberal manifesto for this country!
I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m assuming people who don’t want the truth will cling to Jim Jordan and his “committee”.
Jim Jordan committee and Trey Gowdy Benghazi committee = same thing song and dance.
Many forget that the Statutes of Limitation (“SoL”, or, often, “Sh*t-0utta-Luck”, in non-legal terms) often have a triggering clause of when one “knows or should have known”, which can extend the actual limit defined as (ie-) 5 years (or whatever limit is given). As I remember, fraud has NO SoL.
First, there is no clock, it’s RICO. Further to your point, Jim Jordan’s committee, can’t be taken seriously because they haven’t ‘impeached’ & removed Garland. W/out a functioning DOJ, it’s all for show. Bragg doesn’t need to be subpoenaed, the Soros family does. Parents don’t need to be on a domestic terrorist watch list, the Soros family does, hell the DNC & even the FBI at this point are solid candidates for terrorist classification.
See it now, it’s all to distract us. We don’t have an upcoming 2024 election, [they] are setting the stage to prevent holding one. The current options include intentionally starting a nuclear war, direct invasion by China/Russia into the U.S. (we are the Taiwan they are preparing to attack), releasing another fake pandemic, unleashing antifa disguised as MAGA to trigger an [event], etc.
If you are not prepared w/emergency supplies & armed to defend your family, what’s coming (if we survive it) will drive you right into the arms of the globalist/communists.
