Judicial nominees of President Joe Biden over the last few years have repeatedly been stumped by Sen. John Kennedy's (R., La.) basic questions about the Constitution in Senate confirmation hearings. When Kennedy asked Charnelle Bjelkengren, nominee to be United States district judge for the Eastern District of Washington, to explain the purpose of article five in the U.S. Constitution, Bielkengren responded, "article five is not coming to mind at the moment."

While I don't usually post "talkies" like this, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. This is absolutely pathetic.

Kennedy is a hoot. He's like watching a staunch Baptist who learned Bible verses through years of learning games ask an average Catholic what John 3:16 says. (Full disclosure - I'm Catholic) These judicial lambs are political appointees not judicial all-stars as they are led to the good Senator's slaughter.

Another example of what Affirmative Action produces and how far liberals have managed to dumb down America. People like this are promoted for only one reason and that's to follow whatever they are told to do. The NYC DA is another shining example of racial ineptitude in action!

Yes: I love the way Kennedy goes about his work, but my question is how many of these people are confirmed despite Kennedy showing their lack of competence.

He is the only Kennedy to ever have served us well in government and the man is superb at what senators are supposed to do. Most of them just sit there and do what McConnell or Schumer tell them to do.

I do not know Charnelle Bjelkengren and for all I know he could be Federman’s body double before “they” replaced the old one with the new guy - but I digress. If I were an officer of the court having a Judge who knew the Law, or at the very least the US Constitution, would provide a basic trust required by any defendant in a Constitutional Republic. Of course on the other hand, a female judicial candidate unable to define the word “women”, has kinda opened the barn door to “the law is what I say it is”. Pray without ceasing for our Republic.

Sadly, this person hold an undergraduate degree, when to law school, and passed the bar exam. As a professional you are expected to know more about your field of expertise, and are held to higher levels in a court of law. This is not the first time, and these people will be ruling on cases and making judgements that could affect everyone. And, when you hear on the news "a Federal judge just struck down, XYZ" you might start wondering if they are actually competent to render such a judgement.

In 2019, Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman admitted while being questioned by the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday that he had leaked information to an anti-Trump whistleblower at the center of the Democrats’ partisan impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump. Vindman attempted to provide talking points to Trump prior to his “infamous” Ukraine phone call and then leaked a mischaracterization of the call afterward. Vindman was directly confronted by California Rep. Devin Nunes. Nunes asked: “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, did you discuss the July 25 phone call with anyone outside the White House on July 25 or the 26, and if so, with whom?” “Yes. I did,” Vindman responded.

Former CIA officer Larry Johnson, who did presidential daily briefings during the George H.W. Bush administration, told "Judging Freedom" host Andrew Napolitano that he thinks the latest leak of Ukraine War documents is an inside job. About the source, he said: "I'd put it above the CIA. This is elements connected to the Director of National Intelligence... There's no way that some National Guardsman doing [temporary duty] at Fort Bragg would have access to that." "The information was leaked for [a purpose], to prepare the U.S. public for the crash landing that's going to take place with respect to U.S. foreign policy," he said.

The incident occurred on the 15th floor of the Revere Hotel as agents were conducting a mock investigation. FBI agents were assisting the U.S. Department of Defense in a training exercise inside the hotel to simulate a situation that DOD personnel might encounter in a deployed environment.

The Czech novelist Milan Kundera published The Joke, his first novel, in 1967. It traces the fortunes of Ludvik, a young student, after his politically correct girlfriend shows the Communist authorities a postcard he had written to her as a joke: “Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky! Ludvik.” As a result of this whimsy, Ludvik finds himself expelled from the Communist Party, the university, and is eventually conscripted to work in the mines. That’s the way things are in totalitarian societies. No jokes allowed, especially not jokes told at the expense of the regime.

The legal challenge to censorship by proxy highlights covert government manipulation of online speech. Last month, I noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had repeatedly exaggerated the scientific evidence supporting face mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Facebook attached a warning to that column, which it said was "missing context" and "could mislead people." (Snip) I had committed the offense of "malinformation." Unlike "disinformation," which is intentionally misleading, or "misinformation," which is erroneous, "malinformation" is true but inconvenient.

Climate Change is a religion. We all know that. The University of Helsinki has decided to make that official by giving Greta Thunberg an honorary Doctorate of Theology at the ripe old age of 20. Pretty sure she hasn’t graduated from High School, but maybe I am wrong. I thought she dropped out to become a climate change activist. Now that she is Dr. Thunberg she can glue herself to Volkswagens or something. Isn’t that what activists with Ph. D.s do these days?

Second, Tucker Carlson’s release of the videos of the Capitol riot that took place on the Jan. 6, 2021 given him by Republican Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy.

BERLIN—“Nuclear power, no thanks!” What was once a slogan found on the bumper of many a German car became a reality Saturday, as the country shut down its three remaining nuclear power plants in line with a long-planned transition toward renewable energy. The shutdown of Emsland, Neckarwestheim II and Isar II shortly before midnight was cheered earlier in the day by anti-nuclear campaigners outside the three reactors and at rallies in Berlin and Munich. Inside the plants, staff held more somber ceremonies to mark the occasion. Decades of anti-nuclear protests in Germany, stoked by disasters at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima, had put pressure on successive governments to end the use of

President Joe Biden was moved to tears on Friday during his trip to Ireland after he learned a priest at a Catholic shrine he was visiting had performed the last rites for his son, who died in 2015.

The priest who accompanied Biden on a tour of the Knock Shrine pilgrimage site said the reunion brought the president to tears. "He was crying, it really affected him, and then we said

But he told the Financial Times on Saturday that he and 'a bunch of friends are holding our powder dry' because of the governor's 'stance on abortion and book banning'.Earlier this week, DeSantis signed-off a new six week abortion ban in Florida worrying many centrist conservatives who see such draconian rules as vote losers.

Joe Biden became president promising a 180-degree turn from Donald Trump. But the two men do have one big thing in common: similarly poor approval ratings heading into the start of their reelection bids. Biden has not yet officially announced he’s running again next year, though he has said he plans to. Polls show his approval rating is hovering in the low 40s, right around the mark where some of his predecessors who were denied second terms sat at this point of their presidencies. According to FiveThirtyEight, Biden’s average approval rating stands at 43 percent, about 9 points lower than
