In other news. We’ve gone from Democrats chanting “as long as it takes” to little anonymous Democrat birds inside the beltway now changing their tune and suggesting Ukraine make concessions to put an end the war in. Considering Biden slow walking of military hardware, the lack of the word "win" or any stated plan. Then refusing to use the 35 billion dollars authorized by Democrats and Republicans in the house last year, the fact that Biden has not fired clueless Jake Sullivan.... all points to something bad coming for Ukraine.

Donald Trump's tactic for dealing with the numerous criminal charges he faces has largely been to rely on the fact that the Supreme Court will ultimately save him, but that prospect is uncertain and faces steep odds, a report showed on Saturday.
Trump, whom legal experts say has directed legal filings specifically with the conservative Supreme Court in mind, is facing criminal charges in D.C., Georgia, and in New York. With a conservative court including numerous Trump appointees, many have said they understand why the ex-president would take that route. But his path through the Supreme Court may not be smooth sailing, the Messenger reports. "Although he nominated one-third of its justices, former President Donald Trump faces uncertain prospects as he looks to the Supreme Court for help in his ongoing criminal cases," the outlet reported Saturday. It continued: "The Supreme Court’s conservative majority includes three jurists nominated by Trump: Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. But they are still not shoe-ins to side with him. The high court has sided against Trump or failed to take up his arguments in recent cases involving Congressional efforts to obtain his tax returns, the 2020 election, and other topics. The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case brought by his former 2020 election attorney, John Eastman stemming from a dispute with the Congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol." The article further notes that legal experts have expressed doubt that Trump can win at the Supreme Court on the current issue he's litigating, which might reach the high court before others: his federal gag order. "Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb said he does not expect the gag order issue to get to the Supreme Court," the Messenger reported. “I don't see the Supreme Court ever taking that up, as gag orders are routine and Trump’s status as a presidential candidate is not a legal defense to a gag order any more than if Jeffrey Dahmer had decided to run for president,” he said, according to the news report. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...b69751011&ei=8

I'm shocked that these people call themselves "Christians.". They just seem to want to make obscenely wealthy people wealthier at everyone else's expense. If there's a choice between a poor person's necessity, or a rich guy getting more money, I think we can guess who'd they choose, every time. Just like Jesus intended.

The Islamic Resistance group launched its first tactical ballistic missiles at U.S. military bases.
They cause much more powerful explosions than what has previously been launched against U.S. troops. Count on the U.S. striking back? Clueless Jake Sullivan says since Biden took office the Middle East is more peaceful than it’s ever been.

Section 3 provides that:No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector for President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States … who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same … . But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.Because Trump allegedly engaged in an insurrection, according to the challengers, he is disqualified by Section 3.
There are three major legal problems with that claim, however. First of all, Section 3 only applies to individuals who were previously a “member of Congress,” an “officer of the United States,” or a state official. Trump has never been any of those. He has never held state office or been a U.S. senator or representative, and the U.S. Supreme Court held in 1888 in U.S. v. Mouat that “officers” are only those individuals who are appointed to positions within the federal government.Effort to bar Trump under 14th Amendment gains steamIndividuals who are elected—such as the president and vice president—are not officers within the meaning of Section 3. The Supreme Court reiterated that view in 2010 in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, in which Chief Justice John Roberts concluded “the people do not vote for ‘Officers of the United States.’” They are appointed under Article II of the Constitution.It must also be noted that while Section 3 applies to an “elector for President or Vice President,” it does not specify that it applies to the president or vice president. This supports the argument that the drafters did not mean for Section 3 to apply to the president and vice president, which, again, is not surprising, since they are not “Officers of the United States.”Second, no federal court has convicted Trump of engaging in “insurrection or rebellion” in violation of 18 U.S.C. §2383, which makes it a crime to engage in “any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States.”More importantly, in the second impeachment resolution of Trump on Jan. 11, 2021, he was charged by the House of Representatives in Article I with “Incitement of Insurrection.” Yet, he was acquitted by the Senate.Given our federal constitutional system, state and federal courts should not gainsay the findings of Congress on this issue. The risk of inconsistent rulings from state and county election officials, as well as from the many different courts hearing these challenges, could cause electoral chaos.Further, Congress has never passed a federal statute providing any type of enforcement mechanism in the courts for Section 3. While some argue that this provision is self-executing and no legislation is required, legal scholars such as Josh Blackman and Sett Tillman point to an 1869 decision of a federal circuit court presided over by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, which held that “legislation by Congress is necessary to give effect to” Section 3.Under that holding, in the absence of such legislation, states do not have the ability to throw accused insurrectionists off a federal ballot, whether they are running for Congress or the presidency.Third, there is an argument that can be made—and which was already adopted by one federal court—that Section 3 doesn’t even exist anymore as a constitutional matter.Keep in mind that the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 after the end of the Civil War. It was aimed at the former members of the Confederate government and military who had previously been in Congress or held executive posts.All of the challengers filing lawsuits to try to remove Trump from their state ballots are ignoring the final sentence in Section 3, which is a unique provision found in no other amendment to the Constitution. It allows Congress to remove the disqualification clause “by a vote of two-thirds of each House.”Congress voted to remove the disqualification twice. The Amnesty Act of 1872 stated that the “political disabilities” imposed by Section 3 “are hereby removed from all persons whomsoever” except for members of the 36th and 37th Congresses and certain other military and foreign officials.Note that there is no time limit in this language.Congress even got rid of these remaining exceptions in the Amnesty Act of 1898, which stated that “the disability imposed by section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States heretofore incurred is hereby removed.” There was no language preserving any of the disqualifications for future cases.In short, these anti-Trump ballot challenges are lawfare at its worst, trying to use the law and the courts as a political weapon. All of these lawsuits should be dismissed.sorry for such a long post

Clueless Jake said it’s been the greatest time of peace in middle east since the “big guy” took office.

I can't believe republicans like to tie themselves to the great big anchor that is abortion, and then throw themselves into the deep end. So odd that it's mostly future democrats who are being aborted, and yet republicans are willing to let themselves sink for this one issue. Democrats are flooding over the southern border, let them reduce their own numbers in some manner if they're so inclined.
I still think they're cheating though.

They kept Mississippi and censured Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her traitorous and inciteful remarks and actions in support of Hamas terrorist attack on Israel
