Abolish the District of Columbia’s Clown Courts
Posted By: Mercedes44, 8/9/2026 5:55:42 AM
Article III of the Constitution allows Congress to establish courts below the Supreme Court, which includes federal District and Circuit Courts. If Congress can establish them, it can abolish them. In 1801, in the waning days of John Adams’ presidency Congress did just that and abolished the district and circuit courts of the District of Columbia. These two courts display widespread intransigent partisanship and demonstrably poor scholarship, exemplified by this week’s ruling on the new White House construction. Given the difficulty of removing so many bad judges in these two courts by impeaching them, it’s time to repeat John Adams’ move: Abolish these courts.

The league is launching task-force meetings and “listening sessions” as two former NBA players demand to know whether its women-only eligibility rule is based on sex or self-identification.
Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has rushed out a memo to teams nationwide on Friday after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft by identifying as women.
In the memo, obtained by the Associated Press, Engelbert tried to walk a tightrope, admitting the issue of transgender (biological male) participation will keep drawing “significant attention” while labeling it a “complex and nuanced topic.”

$300 billion tab as health programs take
center stage 2 replies
The White House’s new fraud tracking website is spotlighting billions of dollars in government losses prevented, with healthcare programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services among the largest areas of focus.
The online “Fraud Ledger" said the administration has uncovered nearly $230 billion in fraud and stopped approximately $56 billion in fraudulent payments through its efforts to identify waste, abuse and improper spending across federal programs.
According to administration officials,
The reality of the Social Security system and laws is that the system design is fundamentally and fatally flawed. Unless we fix the design flaws, any other changes to the system are purely cosmetic and doomed to perpetual tinkering, temporary fixes, and eventual failure.
We will have failed our younger citizens by failing to address the flaws. The options are painfully simple. Do nothing, which our federal government has done well since the program's inception, or truly fix the system. The crux of the problem is that the Social Security system was never structured to keep the beneficiary front and center of every investment decision.
A new Forgotten History documentary compilation revisits the controversies that followed Bill and Hillary Clinton from Arkansas to the White House and beyond.
Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton, “The Clintons: Scandal After Scandal” traces former President Bill Clinton’s political rise, Whitewater, the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster, sexual misconduct allegations, Monica Lewinsky and the impeachment fight.
From Whitewater To Benghazi
The feature-length episode then turns to the Clinton Foundation, Haiti relief, foreign donations, Hillary Clinton’s private email server, the 2012 Benghazi attack and recent congressional scrutiny.
Coca-Cola faces renewed backlash from Christian consumers after viral videos claimed its online personalized can feature allowed messages such as “I love Satan” and “Satan is King” while rejecting phrases including “I love Jesus” and “Jesus is King.”
The claims circulated widely on social media platforms, including a post by Sachin Jose on X that referenced the reported discrepancy. Social media users shared screen recordings of tests on the Coca-Cola Store website’s customization tool. The demonstrations prompted calls for boycotts of the company’s products.
The day of the transition of power in Colombia has finally arrived. Four years of its first left-wing president in modern history have come to an end, and the voters have replaced the former guerrilla and all-around clown, Gustavo Petro, with a much better option. It's a great day for that country and a great day for our entire hemisphere. Just to recap, Colombia held elections for president in May, with run-offs in June, and Abelardo de la Espriella, aka "El Tigre" or "The Tiger," won against Petro's hand-picked left-wing candidate, Ivan Cepeda. El Tigre is a lawyer —
It's been ten years since Hillary Clinton lost her race to be president, her hopes dashed by the guy she thought she could easily beat, and who has now gone on to another term.
Yet, she still seems fully obsessed with him. So he not only beat her in that race, but he's beaten her ever since, if she has him constantly living rent-free in her mind.
Clinton appeared on Kara Swisher's Pivot podcast, and she spoke about what Democrats should do if they were able to take back the White House in the future. Talk about projection.
But think about what Clinton is saying there —
President Donald Trump committed to slashing foreign aid to save American taxpayers money, cut foreign waste, and remove funding from programs that do not extend American values in his second term, resulting in the lowest level of foreign aid flowing out of the country in over two decades.
The Pew Research Center’s analysis of federal trends released July 21 reveals that foreign aid plummeted in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2025, to the lowest level since 2004. The U.S. still funneled out $47.3 billion in foreign aid according to data from ForeignAssistance.gov. But when adjusted for inflation,
A Republican lawmaker is seeking a special session to pass a voter ID proposal after New Jersey’s Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill supported the general policy.
Republican state Sen. Michael Testa Jr. is calling for the Legislature to reconvene and pass a bill that he co-sponsored requiring voters to present photo ID at polling places, in light of revelations that at least 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote in the Garden State.
“I think it’s necessary, if not possible,” Testa told the Daily Signal of a special session to pass the bill, noting the Legislature’s Democrat majority is not likely to support it.
After a hacker exfiltrated the data of 633,000 Maricopa County, Arizona, voter records in 2020, zero prosecutors at any level of government would prosecute despite urging from the FBI.
Documents released Thursday morning by the White House Government Transparency Task Force detail the massive data breach, an investigation by the FBI, a suspect who admitted to the crime, and a years-long attempt by the FBI to get someone to prosecute, only to close the case due to a lack of prosecutor interest.

Former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer has spread to other parts of his body and is causing him significant pain, his son Hunter Biden revealed during a Friday interview.

Jason Arday, the sociologist who made history as Cambridge University's youngest Black professor, has resigned from the university after weeks of mounting accusations of plagiarism and fabrications in his biography.
Arday, who joined Cambridge in 2023 at the age of 37, became one of Britain's most high-profile academics after sharing an extraordinary life story. He has said he is autistic and dyslexic, and that he did not speak until he was 11 and could not read or write until he was 18.
But following the accusations and scrutiny, Arday resigned from his position on Wednesday.

BMW owners are expressing outrage on social media after the luxury automaker began displaying advertisements for Spider-Man: Brand New Day on their car dashboards without prior warning.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that BMW began displaying ads for the latest Spider-Man movie last week on newer cars, prompting backlash from drivers who paid substantial sums for luxury vehicles, with some models costing up to $160,000. The promotional campaign is part of a partnership between BMW and Sony-Marvel and is scheduled to continue through August 10, according to the automaker’s press release.
When drivers start their vehicles, a banner promoting the film appears on the dashboard display.
When I call an investment firm or a doctor’s office to speak with a person, it’s bad enough that I have to listen to a voice mail that gives me six options, none of which includes speaking with a person.
But there’s something else that bugs me. It’s “Press 2 for Spanish.” That part of the recording is often in Spanish.
That Spanish part is usually preceded by “Press 1 for English.”
But wait a minute. I already have the recording in English. Now I have to press 1 for some more?

This week six London councils united to protest against new rules on single-sex spaces.
These were Lambeth, Waltham Forest, Southwark, Hackney, Haringey and Lewisham, which are apparently “boroughs with some of the highest trans and non-binary communities in the country”.
“Trans men are men, trans women are women”, chant the councillors in a video posted on social media, in which they individually deliver dramatic lines (full script below):
Councillor Paul Perkins, Leader, Waltham Forest Council (Green): “We serve 1.7 million Londoners and pledge to be boroughs of sanctuary for our trans, non-binary and intersex communities.”
Councillor Martin Abrams, Leader of Lambeth Council (Green):
Gen Z was supposed to be the first fully digital generation.
They grew up with smartphones in their hot little hands, social media accounts before they were old enough to swim, and an entire childhood recorded, uploaded, ranked, liked, shared, and permanently part of every algorithm on the planet.They were supposed to love every second of it… but that didn’t happen.
A growing number of them are now trying to escape the tech lifestyle they were born into.
Young Americans are deleting apps, cutting back on screen time, getting rid of social media, and trading expensive smartphones for “dumb phones” that make calls, send texts, give directions, and play music.
