I was recently asked if there was a defining moment that dramatically accelerated and perhaps made permanent the chaos this nation is presently facing. My answer: the two weeks between March 16 and March 30, 2020.
On March 16th, Donald Trump declared a National Emergency for COVID-19 and effectively shut down the nation for “15 days to slow the spread”. At a press conference announcing the temporary shutdown he said: said: “ With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner, and turn it quickly.”
Regardless of the severity, never throughout the annals of mankind has a nation been shut down to combat a pandemic.

A year after leaving the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama created a production company called Higher Ground Productions that would produce documentaries and high-end movies. Their most recent movie, though, seemingly seeks the lowest ground possible, for it appears to stoke racial hatred in the context of an apocalypse.
According to the Higher Ground website, Leave the World Behind throws a white and black couple together during a massive cyberattack: A family’s (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke) vacation is upended when two strangers (Mahershala Ali and Myha’la) arrive at night, seeking refuge from a cyberattack that grows more terrifying

Special Counsel Jack Smith has a big question for the Supreme Court. Appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022 to oversee the Biden DOJ's investigation of former President Donald Trump for his actions leading up to and on January 6, 2021, as well as his allegedly improper keeping of federal records after leaving the White House, Smith wants a ruling on Trump's immunity — or lack thereof — before Trump's even been convicted. Now, in a filing to the Supreme Court of the United States, Smith is asking: "Whether a former President is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for crimes committed while in office or is constitutionally protected

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.) on Sunday came out in opposition to the House GOP-led impeachment inquiry into President Biden — while blasting first son Hunter Biden’s behavior and ripping him as an “unsavory person.”
Romney, who voted to convict then-President Donald Trump during both of his impeachments, argued that there isn’t evidence to go after Joe Biden. “I think before you begin that impeachment inquiry, you ought to have some evidence — some inclination that there’s been wrongdoing,” Romney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“If I was in the House, I’d vote against it, unless they were able to bring forward evidence that suggests…”

President Liz Magill faces a massive backlash for her appalling testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce last week. Magill, along with Harvard President Claudine Gay and MIT head Sally Kornbluth, all refused to condemn or say that calls for genocide against Jewish people constituted harassment. They went the academic route of trying to contextualize the subject, which did not go over well. This isn’t an academic subject: people calling for an entire race or ethnic group to be annihilated isn’t a tough call.

Last night, I watched a documentary about the Gestapo. It occurred to me that it used the same tactics as the bumbling joke that currently occupies the Bully Pulpit and his minions. I did some research to substantiate my thoughts. The Geheime Staatspolizei, abbreviated Gestapo, was the official secret police of Nazi Germany. It was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by combining various political police agencies of Prussia into one organization. On April 20, 1934, oversight passed to Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Schutzstaffel (the SS, originally Hitler’s personal body guard), who was also appointed chief of German police by Hitler in 1936.

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill is learning that free speech has a cost. She, along with Claudine Gay and Sally Kornbluth, the presidents of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively, testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked all three women if calls for Jewish genocide constituted harassment. All three ladies gave waffled answers that were both cold and insipid to the more significant issue of the antisemitism facing Jewish students amid the war in Gaza.

OH
MY
GAWDDDD this is getting to be such fun!
Just a couple of days ago I had a piece on just how very vexing to Democrats – and how very reasonable to the rest of us – Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman had suddenly become post-October 7th. It’s been such an utter and complete 180° from the gibbering mass of stroke impacted Sling Blade chic we’ve all come to know and cringe at, that I posited aliens were responsible for the shift. Had to be. An abduction and substitution, perhaps, which had worked out (oddly enough for once) in our favor.

Millions of Americans watched in horror this week as the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn testified before Congress about the vile anti-Semitism we have seen on their campuses in recent weeks.
Despite being given ample chances to do so, they just couldn’t seem to bring themselves to admit that the far left students carrying out these acts are violating school policies.
All of the school presidents hid behind a supposed commitment to free speech, but we know that’s false because conservative speakers are routinely shouted down on college campuses.
Now, billionaire hedge fund manager and academic donor Bill Ackman is demanding that these school presidents ‘resign in disgrace.’

On Tuesday the House Education Committee invited the leaders of MIT, Harvard, and Penn to testify in front of Congress.
During their testimony Rep. Elise Stefanik asked the educators if calling for the genocide of Jews violates the code of conduct on their campuses. Not one of the campus leaders could answer the question.
Presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and MIT smilingly say that calling for genocide of Jews isn’t necessarily against their code against harassment and bullying on campus. MIT dean Liz Magill suggested it was not a violation unless it led to actual genocide. Wow!
It’s open season on Jews at these American universities!

In a compelling development stemming from an FBI raid conducted last year, a portion of the gold bars found in the residence of embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) have been identified as those stolen in a high-profile 2013 robbery.
In September, Sen. Bob Menendez, the senior U.S. Senator from New Jersey and the former Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were indicted on bribery and corruption charges.
In October, Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
Bob Menendez and his wife are under investigation for their involvement in a bribery scheme from 2018 to 2022.

A New York Appeals Court on Thursday reinstated a gag order against President Trump in Letitia James’s Soviet-style civil fraud case.
Earlier this month a New York Appeals judge temporarily lifted NY Judge Arthur Engoron’s gag order on Trump.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $250 million in ‘damages’ in her lawfare case against President Trump. Appellate judge David Friedman stayed Engoron’s gag order citing Trump’s First Amendment rights a couple of weeks ago.
In late October Judge Engoron put Trump on the witness stand after he blasted the former president and accused him of violating the gag order with his remarks to the press. He also fined Trump $10,000.
