A group of Indiana University students asked the lower courts for help as the university was requiring COVID vaccinations as a condition of returning to school.  The federal district court in Indiana and 7th Circuit court refused to block the vaccination mandate while the students sued the school.  That lead to the students requesting emergency relief from the United States Supreme Court.

This track became the first test of COVID-19 vaccination requirements to reach the Supreme Court.   Justice Amy Coney Barrett handles the region; however, she has rejected the student’s request and will not pass it along to the full court.  [CASE Details Here]

Obviously Justice Barrett is not as conservative as many supporters believed she was.

Speaking to the city council leadership, one woman takes a stand in York County asking for an audit.  The audio is a little troublesome, but it is worth the time:

“This is what happens when the people invest their time in learning the real law and their real powers. Darla B gives deep details about how Mastriano came to the point of calling for a full forensic audit.”

The solution to the scale of DC corruption is local and state action using the constitution, specifically the 10th amendment, against the advancing overreach of corrupt DC officials.

Those behind the Biden administration, those who worked within the corrupt system to put him in office, can see how they might well lose control if this continues.  They are acting exactly as we would expect given this growing reality.

They need a control tool quickly.

They need a COVID variant now more than ever….

Treepers, as you can see below, I copied this from Spoogels comments several years ago, and saved it for this post, so thank you Spoogels, and Happy Independence Day to all of us. Stay strong, resolute, and proud. Spoogels says: May 27, 2019 at 9:25am

EDITOR’S NOTE: When this column first appeared in JWR two decades ago, on May 28, 1999, it was read on radio stations across the nation and went on to become what would, years later, come to be termed “viral”. We wish that the author, a long-time friend of JWR’s publisher, were still writing today. PLEASE SHARE via social media. “An American credo, By Don Feder”:

ON THE DAY when we memorialize those who gave their lives so America would endure, we should ask what it means a citizen of this republic. Here are the thoughts of one American, a credo for the coming millennia.

I am an American. I was conceived at Plymouth, born in Lexington and Concord, and reached maturity at Philadelphia.

I went through the fires of Shiloh, Gualdacanal, the Chosin Resovoir, Khe Sanh and a thousand other battlefields, and emerged rededicated to the ideals on which America was founded.

I am an American. Ever ready to defend my liberty and independence, to make any sacrifice and bear any burden – still, I seek no quarrel.

I march to the sound of the guns out of necessity alone. I fight not for glory or territory, or to make others bend to my will, but to vindicate my rights and preserve my freedom.

I am an American. I’m proud of my past. Words like Valley Forge, Gettysburg Address and Pearl Harbor — names like Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt — make my blood stir.

Rasmussen has an interesting survey about election integrity issues [SEE HERE].  Within the survey the majority of likely voters support election audits including 71% of Republicans, 57% of Independents and 38% of Democrats.

Additionally, “[t]he new survey also found that 41% of voters still don’t believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fairly”, that result is 7% higher than  February  when “34% of Likely Voters did not believe Biden won the election fairly.”  It appears the number of people who now see the 2020 election fraud is considerably higher than a few months ago.

[READ SURVEY RESULTS HERE]

With that many Americans now holding the opinion Biden cheated, you can bet the Democrat machine, BlackRock Republicans, Intelligence Community, DOJ and other vested interests are paying close attention.   The system cannot sustain itself with almost half the country organically believing the president is illegitimate.  Considering how the media drumbeat a narrative that is entirely the opposite, the results of this survey are quite remarkable.

With thirty-eight percent of Democrats supporting election audits, the system in DC is tenuous at best.

The transparency of the political positioning and timing is obvious.  Today, after months of obfuscation and avoidance, Kamala Harris announces she will visit the Texas-Mexico border only days ahead of President Trump’s border visit.

Interestingly -and not coincidentally- Harris is headed to the New Mexico, Texas, border region; about a thousand miles away from where the epicenter of the border crisis exists.  It appears the administration is trying to keep her in blue areas that are less likely to see organized protests against the regime.

Remember, McAllen Texas just elected a Republican mayor, and in stark contrast to the media narrative the south Texas/Mexico border region (80%+ Latino/Mexican) voted overwhelmingly for President Trump in 2020.

WASHINGTON DC – Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to the U.S.-Mexico border this week, amid an unrelenting chorus of criticism from Republicans over her failure to visit there.

Harris, who was tasked by President Joe Biden to lead diplomatic efforts to stem the flow of migrants arriving on the southern border, will make a stop in El Paso, Texas on Friday, according to sources familiar with the trip. She is expected to be accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. (read more)

President Trump took note of the timing…

As noted yesterday the narrative engineers in corporate MSM are falsely stating that pushback against school indoctrination and their cultural revolution is being organized by a vast right-wing mechanism with national coordination.  The leftist talking heads project their own activity onto their political opposition, and cannot fathom of grassroots organizations operating organically.

The media see everything through the prism of ‘Astroturf’ because that is their forte’.  However, friend of the Treehouse, John Spiropoulos, appears on Steve Bannon’s podcast to push back against this nonsense.  John is continuing to provide local groups of parents with the tools and voice to push their own message to a larger audience. Perhaps John is the national right-wing conspirator the MSM is worried about.  WATCH:

From all of us here behind the scenes at the Treehouse, we wish fathers the best of days. We thank you, we pray for you, and we praise God for the gift of dads.

I have been privileged to know some of the best fathers of our time, and especially would like to mention my appreciation and pride for those in my own life who have made the most difference to me and our family.

I was blessed to marry a man who became a wonderful father to our three boys. My sons are three of the best dads out there, under really challenging circumstances. Two of them have step children they love and cherish, nurture and guide.

My father in law was an epic man among men. He had great faults but his virtues eclipsed them. He was a man of immense strength, strength of mind, character, body, and above all else, faith. His heart was even bigger than his booming laugh.

If I had a fortune I would confidently place a wager that no one could ever say he backed down from his principles or failed to do what he saw as right in the face of any test. Not one time, not ever. Good or bad, hard or easy, he stood in the face of any challenge to right as he believed it to be. (more…)

President Donald J Trump has an op-ed in Real Clear Politics discussing the issues with Critical Race Theory, educational indoctrination and the key solutions to stop the divisive issues with the Marxist policy:

DONALD J TRUMP – “As a candidate, Joe Biden’s number one promise was to “unite” America. Yet in his first months as president, his number one priority has been to divide our country by race and gender at every turn.

There is no clearer example than the Biden administration’s new effort aimed at indoctrinating America’s schoolchildren with some of the most toxic and anti-American theories ever conceived. It is vital for Americans to understand what this initiative would do, what drives it and, most importantly, how we can stop it”. (READ MORE)

Philadelphia city leadership had previously changed policies forbidding foster-care referrals to faith-based worship groups.  The far-left Philadelphia government officials had expressed their ‘woke’ advocacy by blocking Catholic Social Services (CSS), an organization associated with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and foster parents from providing services due to their outlook on traditional marriage.

Two foster parents and CSS sued the city for discrimination alleging the policy violated their first amendment right to their religious belief.  Two lower courts ruled against Catholic Social Services, reflecting just how politicized the local and state judiciary has become.  However, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with CSS and the parents in a 9-0 ruling [full pdf here], affirming that Philadelphia was factually discriminating against the group based on their religious beliefs.

However, as noted by SCOTUS Blog – […] “the decision fell short of the broad endorsement of religious freedom that the challengers had sought. While the justices unanimously agreed with CSS and the foster parents that the city’s action was unconstitutional, a six-justice majority left intact the Supreme Court’s 1990 decision in Employment Division v. Smith, which held that government actions do not violate the Constitution’s free exercise clause as long as they are neutral and apply to everyone.”

The left-wing extremist Saul Alinsky famously instructed his radical followers on the best way to attack their political opposition.  Alinsky told his communist crew to “Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize” their opponents.  In the decades since those first Rules for Radicals were published the instructions have been used and adapted on a continual basis by a growing faction inside the Democrat apparatus.

President Barack Obama then brought an entire cabinet of people who followed those instructions into the federal government and they spread out like fertilizer over the seeded embeds within every institution.  After twelve years of the Obama-led operatives purging a replacing people within government with like-minded followers the cancer of left-wing radicalism metastasized.

Key institutions of government (across all branches at the federal level) are now controlled and operated by Socialist/Marxist/Communist ideologues and agitators.  The intelligence agencies and justice system are particularly filled with political operatives.  The unified coup de grâce was the manipulation of the 2020 presidential election by national political activists using mail-in ballots, and supporting local operatives within targeted precincts.

The flaw in their 2020 strategy was the transparency of the manipulation.  It was the scale of the manipulation that made the fraud so visible.  However, once that Rubicon was crossed the outcome must be protected at all costs by those previously mentioned institutions and their leadership.

When we described the upcoming battle their activity has predictably created, I said this:  “I would expect the government response … will be a combination of the DOJ/FBI “domestic extremist” narratives, combined with racism accusations and claims of election disinformation.”  Put another way: “The Alinsky model: Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize your political opposition in combination with the use of arrests and threats by the justice department.”

It only took a few hours before that exact scenario started to unfold in real time:
