In a major 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court has finally addressed the expansive regulatory use of executive agencies to create law through interpretation.  The 40-year-old Chevron ruling granted the executive agencies of government the ability to interpret laws and apply restrictions/regulations based on their own rules and definitions therein.

The Supreme Court put the judicial branch back into the equation by ruling that courts will decide what laws apply when the legislation is ambiguous on detail.  This shift in prior precedent could have major ramifications.  [MORE AT SCOTUS BLOG]

In another big case, the court ruled in favor of Joseph Fischer a Pennsylvania police officer charged in the January 6th protest with “obstructing an official proceeding.”  [FULL RULING HERE]

The law at the center of Fischer’s case is 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2), and as noted by Julie Kelly, “The statute … has been applied in roughly 350 J6 cases; it also represents two of four counts in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s J6-related criminal indictment of Donald Trump in Washington.”

Julie Kelly – […] In a 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the “c2” subsection is tethered to the “c1” subsection that addresses tampering with a record, document, or “object.”

Roberts was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the dissent (!) joined by Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.

The Supreme Court rejected the standing of the State of Missouri and five individuals in the censorship and free speech case surrounding social media.  The court came down with a 6-3 decision, Justice Amy Coney-Barrett writing the majority opinion.  Justices Alito, Gorsuch and Thomas dissented in the minority.

The background of the case was very familiar to this audience, as the Biden administration was previously blocked by lower courts from telling social media platforms to remove content against their interests.  Today, the Supreme Court rejected the standing of the plaintiffs, essentially giving a green light to the USA government to begin controlling social media platforms again.

If you read the opinion [FULL PDF HERE], I would strongly urge readers to focus beginning on page #11 of the Justice Barrett opinion.  It is obvious in the three or four pages that follow, the court was looking for an exit from the free speech issue.  Denying the case on “standing” grounds became their justification for the cop-out.

Barrett goes out of her way to make the standing issue the crux of the majority opinion.  Comey-Barrett dismisses all the instances of censorship and coerced removal under the auspices that the relief sought by the plaintiffs was for future harm, not past injury.   The lower courts had ruled the government could not interfere with speech in the future, without establishing that each individual plaintiff was harmed specifically by each action of the government.

This headline article from the New York Post caught our attention because it has the familiar ring of “51 former intelligence heads” in the 2020 election.

Previously, the stacking of experts to create disinformation was used to hide the truth within the Hunter Biden laptop, which was evidence of Joe Biden’s pay-to-play schemes.  Now, the “experts” are stacked to claim Joe Biden’s economic policy is better than Donald Trump’s.

I will ignore the article’s Freudian optic of the economist speaking at the globalist WEF event, and instead focus on the facts.  We have an actual track record of President Trump’s MAGAnomic policies to review. We heard the insufferable “inflation created by tariff” arguments back in 2017; they were all false.

Wall Street loves to shout about looming damage that will come if anyone reverses the “service driven economy” policies they rely upon. However, none of their hair on fire arguments ever materialize, because they are not accurate. These economists are politically motivated in their claims.

See below for real data on the outcomes of MAGAnomic policy as delivered in Trump’s first term.

This might be the cited data you want to bookmark for later reference.

Despite AOC and Bernie Sanders attempting to rally support for New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman, his rabid support for Hamas and toxic progressive behavior was rebuked by his constituents in New York City.

The election was not even close. Jamaal Bowman lost by almost 20 points. It should be noted, the Clinton machine supported his challenger, George Latimer.  Pictured below is a screengrab from the super-cringeworthy video Bowman and AOC made last weekend.

[POLITICO] –  […] Moderate Democrat George Latimer bested Bowman on Tuesday by 17 points with 88 percent of the vote in, making Bowman the first member of the Squad to lose an election since the far-left group formed in 2018.

Latimer, a challenger who ran like an incumbent, benefited from an unprecedented flood of outside cash in a primary fueled by allegations of racism and the party’s sharp divide over the Israel-Hamas war.

Julian Assange, his lawyers and the Wikileaks organization will be holding a press conference in Australia at 7:30am Eastern USA time.

Mr. Assange walked free from a court in the US Pacific Island territory of Saipan, after pleading guilty to violating US espionage law, in a deal that will see him return home to Australia.  Assange made no statement when he left the federal court.

A lot of people have optimistic hopes for Julian Assange, and/or the Wikileaks organization, to deliver information that will further evidence and outline the corrupt nature of the colluding governments who targeted him.  However, when you consider the current weaponized intents of the U.S. government, you would be wise to remember no plea agreement will be detrimental to their interests.

[SEE PLEA DEAL HERE]

Because it is likely to be a subject of interest in the days, weeks and months that will follow, the link to the 23-page plea agreement is above.  I would strongly urge everyone to spend a few minutes reviewing it to understand the highly restrictive parameters within it.

Despite the public face of Assange’s lawyers and Wikileaks in general, the plea agreement severely puts limits on the ability of Wikileaks to continue their operations.

The elected government of Hungary is NOT permitted to block, slow, stall, impede or otherwise interfere in the operations of the U.S. State Dept and CIA to control the nation of Hungary.  The efforts of Hungary to maintain its sovereign status are NOT acceptable.  So sayeth the institutions that ultimately seek control over other nations.

Given the years of protestations and claims about Russia interfering in USA politics, if those expressed positions against the Hungarian government sound like massive hypocrisy from the United States, you would be correct. But hey, that’s how the USA operates now.

Hungary is investigating the subversive activity of foreign interest groups inside the sovereign nation.  The State Dept and CIA are furious.

BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary’s Sovereignty Protection Office launched an investigation on Tuesday into the Hungarian branch of the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International (TI) and an online investigative outlet that focuses on corruption.

Hungary’s parliament passed a law late last year that set up an authority, the Sovereignty Protection Office, to explore and monitor risks of political interference.

The law, which has been criticised by the European Union, the United States and several international organisations, bans foreign financing for parties or groups running for election and carries punishments of up to three years in prison.

People will see…. it might take a little more time than I would prefer, but the truth will come out and people will see.

A judge in Florida is starting to take apart the secrecy operation that Ron DeSantis and his DC Bush clan constructed during their block Trump operation.

DeSantis moved from Congress to the Florida Governor position in 2018; the intent was always to run for President in 2024 and take apart the Trump constructs returning the Republican apparatus to traditional corporate controls.

Part of their lengthy approach was to import some of the Washington DC silo/secrecy functions and overlay them into Florida state politics.

Arguably, Florida had the strongest public record transparency laws in the country, known collectively as “the sunshine laws.” When importing the schemes of DC, in order to support the hidden DeSantis agenda, those sunshine laws were considered a problem. The DeSantis team began changing the rules, subverting laws and demanding support from legislation.

They changed the law so the ‘Top Gov’ could run for President without giving up his office in April 2023. The following month, May 2023, they pressured legislature to change the transparency law on travel. This change kept the governor and top aide’s travel arrangements (who pays, how, etc.) hidden from the public. They made this specific law change retroactive to hide all the Sea Island donors who gave DeSantis private jets to use, while the 2024 campaign was denying they were campaigning in 2022.

Now, a Florida judge is responding to a lawsuit where DeSantis’ lawyers are admitting the governor’s chief-of-staff, James Uthmeier, was arranging/conducting the governor’s official office business on his private cell phone. The governor’s office is admitting personal cell phones were used and yet still rebuking the judge’s prior order to make the call logs public.

Leon County Circuit Judge Lee Marsh is not happy about this.

FLORIDA – […] “We ought to just put out word, ‘Let’s do all of our business on private, bring-your-own cellphones,” Marsh said. “Then we don’t need public records laws because there’ll be no public records, right?”

[…] On Tuesday, Marsh rubbed his eyes and held his head in his hands in apparent exasperation while debating Florida’s public records law with DeSantis’ lawyers.

A couple of quick hot points from the 2024 presidential race and Trump side of the equation.

♦ First, we can ignore all of the typical pre-debate banter about who is doing what in the lead-up to the Trump v Biden debate.  Every cycle the debate narratives are pushed for clicks and attention; almost all of it is manufactured nonsense and false.

Actual, professional, presidential debate teams do not leak information about their debate prep activity to the media. The only information released is from campaign players who want the other side to see, hear and waste time preparing for imaginary nonsense.  All of the pre-debate stuff, banter, punditry and column inches are one big mind game of misinformation.  Ignore all of it.

♦ Second, the DC system that created Mike Pence as the best option for Trump 2016 is the same system pushing Vance, Rubio and Burgum for 2024.  [Example HERE] The intent with Pence 2016 is the same intent with Vance, Rubio and Burgum ’24.  I’m cautiously optimistic President Trump is well aware of this.

Seriously, how many times have you heard me repeat the warning: NEVER TRUST A NEVER-TRUMPER.  Yet, time and time again people get wooed back, deny their instincts, dismiss the intellectual reality and drop their guard.  Every single time the Trump supporters get burned.

This is not complicated folks.  The Never-Trumpers do not change position, have an awakening, trip over some “come to Jesus” moment, engage in self-reflection, or otherwise evolve to stop thinking that Donald Trump is the end of their world.   Never-Trumpers espoused that opinion, because Never-Trumpers saw value in holding that opinion.  It is simple and should be accepted.

Those who claimed Trump was/is horrible, terrible, egotistical, evil and all the other adjectives to describe their sentiments, do not suddenly have a change in perspective.   What changes them are changes in the instructions they are given.   They begin praising Trump because there is new value in stating that opinion.   NEVER, EVER Trust a never-Trumper.  The stakes are too high.

♦ Third, apparently the secret service is increasing the security detail around President Trump.

To give some scale as to the descent into weaponized government madness that surrounds us, think about the headline.

Imagine a world where the sitting president of the United States has a national intelligence apparatus giving him advice that his political opponent, and those who support that opponent, should be considered “domestic terrorists.”   Then accept that we don’t have to imagine it, because this is the reality of the current situation.

They started out by saying Trump supporters were extremists, then went through a phase normalizing government hatred by saying unmasked and unvaccinated people should be placed in camps, and now the evolution of Trump supporters and our military being the largest domestic terrorist threat.

[America First Legal] – “exposes how the Biden Administration classifies someone as a person likely to commit “domestic violent extremist” attacks, particularly those who support President Trump, are “in the military,” or are “religious.”  (SOURCE)

These are documents extracted via a FOIA lawsuit against the Biden administration.  Can you imagine the apoplectic “Threat to Democracy” media if these same words of advice were said by a President Trump group about supporters of Barack Obama.

Yet, it is exactly the Obama era shift to fine tune the domestic intelligence apparatus that has created this dynamic.
