Multiple media reports now affirming that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the current court term [ABC Report – NBC Report] setting up the final step to elevate DC Appeals Court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

This is exactly what was planned from the appointment of Merrick Garland to U.S. Attorney General. [GO DEEP] As CTH outlined in January 2021, the series of moves was/is predictable.  The Obama crew behind Biden have been following a predictable roadmap. Four sequential steps.

In March 2021, Merrick Garland was confirmed Attorney General to open his seat in the DC Appeals Court for Kentanji Brown Jackson.  KBJ’s appointment to that specific court needed Senate confirmation.  In June 2021, KBJ was confirmed [GO DEEP] with a vote of 53-47.  Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court.  Now Breyer steps down and KBJ is nominated to replace him.

“U.S. Appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former Breyer clerk, public defender and Biden appointee who won three Senate Republican votes in confirmation, is considered a top contender for nomination” ~ABC

As we predicted in March 2021, “this is how they roll”.  With Obama’s crew you always have to watch the other hand – the third and fourth moves.

MARCH 2021 – Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.

Once that replacement is Senate confirmed, we anticipate (almost to a certainty) that replacement will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, now 82-years-old.  The Senate will have no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick, because she will have been confirmed a few months before. It’s a smart play.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Look carefully at this tweet from Catherine Herridge at CBS.  Notice anything?

Emphasis mine:

“#Durham filing reveals his team learned for first time, this month, the Office of the Inspector General had TWO cellphones for former FBI General Counsel who is central witness in Sussmann case, “the Government has been working diligently to review their contents.””

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has known about the Durham probe of Michael Sussmann for how long?  And specifically, the criminal case against Sussmann revolved around the central witness, the point of contact with former FBI General Counsel, Jim Baker.  Yet the OIG said nothing to John Durham about their possession of Baker’s phones until this month?

Think about what that tells us?

Tennesse Democrat Jim Cooper (Nashville) becomes the 29th Democrat to announce he will not seek reelection (link).  “Today I am announcing that I will not run for reelection to Congress. After 32 years in office, I will be leaving Congress next year.”

Jim Cooper was first elected to the House in 1990 and was going to have a redistricting battle.  Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth.  The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle class Americans continues.

The Washington Times is reporting that leadership in the Democrat party is pleading with house members not to leave.  However, with a looming electoral backlash on the horizon, the pleas are falling on deaf ears.  Polling indicates there is a major storm on the horizon for Democrats, as their ideological thirst for power is transparent {link} and being rejected. Every single policy the Biden administration touches creates a crap storm of anxiety for the ‘Main Street’ American worker.

Even the New York Times has gone from panic to ‘shock’: “The numbers are even worse for Democrats in the eight states expected to have the closest Senate elections, according to Langer — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Not only is Biden’s overall job approval rating in those states 33 percent, 10 points lower than it is in the rest of the country, but registered voters in those eight states say they are more likely to vote for Republican House candidates than for Democrats by 23 points (at 58 percent to 35 percent).

There are now 29 House Communists (ie Democrats) officially jumping ship and announcing they will not attempt re-election {link}.  There will likely be more before the primary races begin.

Even in a defeat from the United States Supreme Court, the political weasels running the U.S. Dept of Labor cannot reverse their position without lying and obfuscating.

The U.S. Dept of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announces their withdrawal of the employee vaccine mandate that was ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. [pdf HERE]   However, note how they change the prior enforcement order from a “mandate” to a mere suggestion: “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

(pdf link)

The effective date of the reversal is tomorrow, January 26, 2022.  However, in reversing their position notice how OSHA attempts to rewrite history and claim they were only “strongly encouraging vaccination.”

The institutions of our government are corrupt top to bottom with the cancer of metastatic political filth.

Despite a request from Wall Street multinational business groups impacted by the threat from the truckers, the administration of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced they will not relent in their effort to force vaccinations on unwilling truck drivers.

According to Canadian media, the efforts of the insignificant proles behind the big rig steering wheels are easily dispatched annoyances when contrast against the unlimited power of the federal government.

The truck drivers will kneel before the mighty power of the administrative state, or the truckers will be ignored; it matters not.  The families of Canadian politicians can have their goods delivered from anywhere with taxpayer funds. The empty stores and supply chain disruptions will not be permitted to affect the powdered class.

CANADA – The federal government says it will not back down on its vaccination rule for cross-border truckers despite entrenched opposition from some drivers and groups claiming to represent their interests.

In a joint media statement released today, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan, Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and Stephen Laskowski, the president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), said COVID-19 vaccines are the “most effective tool to reduce the risk of COVID-19” and protect public health.

Earlier today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to the Biden administration’s political effort to stop Floridians from receiving COVID-19 treatment. [Press Release Here] …”the appointments for more than 2,000 Floridians to receive this treatment were canceled on January 25, 2022, alone”…

Late yesterday evening, without notice, the Biden FDA blocked monoclonal antibody treatments by revoking the emergency use authorization for the therapeutic.  Today thousands of Floridians wake up to hear they are no longer eligible for treatment.  Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is furious.  WATCH:

FLORIDA – Governor Ron DeSantis is demanding the Biden Administration reverse its sudden and reckless decision to revoke emergency use authorization (EUA) for Regeneron and Eli Lilly monoclonal antibody treatments. This abrupt and unilateral action by the Biden Administration will prevent access to lifesaving treatments for Floridians and Americans.
