“Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your roundup includes: how nine blue states and the ACLU sprinted to the Supreme Court to stop an envelope, and lost 6-3 in a ten-page order that dropped after quitting time; the barcode the Postal Service will print on that envelope, which requires the states to produce a list of their eligible voters, a request they are treating roughly the way a teenager treats “let me see your phone”;
the 200,000 visitors who came for the long weekend and stayed for the asylum hearing, now getting the largest mass visa revocation in American history;
the H-1B application fee going from $2,300 to $103,265, which is either an outrage or the going rate for an American job, depending on who signs your paycheck;
and the Washington Post — the paper that has never met a school-choice argument it wouldn’t strangle in the second paragraph — running a Heritage fellow’s case that public schools are unconstitutional, un-rebutted, above a comment section that currently reads like a Thanksgiving table with an open bar.

RIP Dolly Parton 😢
She never really recovered mentally nor physically from the loss of her husband.
A bigger than life personality who will be missed.
Remember first watching her on the Porter Wagoner TV show, in the 1960’s, when she was 18 years old.
Yes, I remember that, too. Truly a rags-to-riches story!
Visited Dollywood three years ago. Dolly was authentic and whip smart without pretense. Her humble beginnings defined her grit. She valued decency and honesty in a time when both have been in short supply.
❤️❤️
She wrote “I Will Always Love You” in honor of Porter. He was extremely influential in opening up her career.
Unfortunately, Dolly also chose to take the Covid jabs. Check the huge increase in excess deaths due to Acute Renal Disease that have spiked since 2021. There will never be another like Dolly.
Even if she wasn’t VAXXED, shedding is a real thing.
My beloved Naturopath — who was anti-vax all the way — was shed on (likely by his best friend who was freshly VAXXED when they visited in mid-2021).
He died of a horrific TurboCancer in Oct of 2022.
So, Covid VAXX effects can happen to ANY of us through shedding.
Give it a rest, DE. Please.
Very sorry to hear that. RIP Dolly.
One of my granddaughters asked her mother about 6 years ago who was the First Lady?
Her little sister was engrossed in a book. But before my daughter could answer, and without looking up from her book, she said without missing a beat, “Dolly Parton”.
Well, maybe not First Lady…but a lady always.

Fox is doing tribute coverage 😭 I saw her in concert at Pontiac Silverdome 1977 ish 💔
I never saw her in concert but I’ve always admired her.
Yes.

RipplesTsunami here too – watch who gets *indignant* about it.For the freemen of Canada, Trump is opening an historic window of opportunity. Is now the time to be done with being subjects of pantywaist Charles the Third and the bottom feeding London banker PM? They are weak and soon to be exposed – Sundance has projected a globalist scheme that is willingly sacrificing Canada in order to stop Trump.
Obama’s regime woke up many American patriots in 2009. The Tea Party formed, only to be shived in the back by the Uniparty-R. That set up the 2016 election – it was to be Bush the Third, or Clinton the Second – either was going to relinquish our sovereignty to TPP – an unelected body modeled after the EU.
Enter Donald Trump: “We will no long surrender America to the false song of globalism!”
Imagine Canada a truly sovereign nation. Imagine the Commonwealth as the Commonbankrupcy. Imagine the EU economically imploding.
Freemen of North America unite.
==========================
Here’s how to abolish the monarchy in Canada and say goodbye to King Charles
“Canada has all the tools to make this happen in a relatively short time, in an orderly
and respectful manner, without damaging our institutions.”
“It would start by deftly defining the needed constitutional amendment. It would, in my view, state that the office of Canada’s head of state should henceforth be held, not by the head of the British Royal Family, but by the Governor General, until such time as a constitutional conference decides otherwise.
The formulation clearly distinguishes the two key debates: dumping the monarchy now and deciding what to replace it with later.”
“Everything then hinges on the wording of the two questions to be asked in this Canada-wide referendum organized by Ottawa, with or without the provinces’ approval.
The first should revolve around this: Do you want Canada to appoint a Canadian head of state, rather than keeping the head of the British Royal Family in that position? Yes/No.
This question alone exposes us to getting negative answers from one or two provinces. It is obviously politically impossible to use the Canadian average to impose the decision because that would give fiercely anti-monarchist Quebec far too strong a voice, which would irrevocably pollute the whole referendum debate.
Instead, I propose a second “I’m getting on board” question that mimics an existing constitutional amendment method – the 7/50 formula. It would go like this:
If a majority of Canadians answer yes to the previous question in seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the country’s population, do you wish the legislature of your province to adopt the proposed constitutional amendment to provide Canada with a Canadian head of state? Yes/No.
This mechanism allows the reform to pass, even if three small provinces vote no. The provincial parliaments are thus required to obey the vote of their”

Dolly Parton has passed away.

“It turns out that some residents of Gary decided to shoot at NIPSCO crew members who were attempting to restore power to the city.
Why should utility workers risk their lives when the people of the community make it clear they are unwelcome?”
Gary is a very rough town. Actions have consequences.
American Federation of Teachers launches boycott against Target, claims retailer ‘remained silent’ on ICE

I luv how the teacher’s union is laser focused on education.
It’s great, right?!
And we can see the results of it every day!
I haven’t shopped at a Target store in years, and I still have no plans to do so. I see their stock is up big time over the past few weeks though.
Maybe the billion dollar tariff rebate they took.
Shasta County Election Chief Exposes Employees Allegedly Bypassing Security to Enter Restricted Rooms Without Leaving a Log — FBI Asked to Seize Ballots Before They Are Destroyed (VIDEO)

…….” Eight states – California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington – conduct what is commonly referred to as an all-mail election, or universal mail-in voting.[1] In these states, voting is conducted primarily by mail, and all eligible voters receive a ballot by default. “…..
https://ballotpedia.org/All-mail_voting
This could get interesting.
I hope the barcodes on ballot envelopes are going to be blockchained by the post office. I can’t find anything to verify if their prior blockchain tech development program was revived and functioning, or not.
Washington started it in the 90’s.
We regularly lose in seven of those eight states, and Utah is primarily GOPe. That should tell people what they need to know about all-mail elections.
Yep. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on.
And they send you one wether you asked for it or not.
In Washington, anyway.
This is why eastern Oregon is trying to leave Oregon and join Idaho. Every state that goes all mail-in ballot goes communist. And can’t go back via the ballot box.
early pic of Dolly……may she rest in peace…..
Very nice!

Liar and fraud. Always was, always will be.
Um he’s trying to free Derek Chauvin.
Um…George Soros gives away millions every year – it doesn’t change the fact he’s one of the most evil humans on the planet…

Thank you, just the same, JustScott!!
Will have to type it in manually each time.
No problem
heard a funny comment on Fox News today, can’t recall the speaker or topic, just liked the nice ring it had

First of all I had no idea Gary Indiana was 75% black. Second, why would utility workers be shot at? This is the flood and storm, incident recently in Indiana where they are trying to restore power.
When you were told Gary was 75% black, that was all the explanation you needed.
This happened in St. Louis. In 2017 a gunman shot and killed two gas company workers, completely without warning or reason.
Senator Lisa Murkowski says James Okeefe should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for “impersonating her brother at a polling place in Alaska”. Ironic, because Lisa Murkowski has been pretending to be a Republican since she was first appointed to be a senator from Alaska. She and her compadre from Maine, Susan Collins are uglier than sin inside and out. Pretentious outrage is their cover for getting attention. Common sense is a “troubling”thing for Susan. “Troubling” is her pat answer for every situation. Lisa wants us to believe she a champion for Alaskans. No, she’s not. More of a hindrance than a help. She is trying to keep them from advancing forward with requiring an I D to vote. Just like the Democrats pretending their black constituents are being disenfranchised from voting if they are required to have an I D. Poor Lisa. Too long in the tooth to keep up with modern times. I had to show I D to get access to my bank account today. Get with the times Lisa and Susan. Two Rhino Dinosaurs.
I imagine if he accepted the ballot, it would be a felony. I’m wondering how he deftly didn’t take the ballot and not expose himself.
