In which the nation claims a favorite field marshall and a Supreme Court justice declares war on the left with rhetorical spikes and bayonets. And more.
Clarence Thomas is a MAN, an American MAN, a magnificent example of what every man should be (notice no qualifiers). We are blessed with his presence on the SCOTUS and wherever he decides to speak truth. May he live another 50 years and remain on the court the entire time.
And he is spot on about progressivism and a helluva lot more men should be standing up and loudly proclaiming the same. Find your inner Alpha male men, be a Clarence Thomas.
He came to Christmas Mass at our parish in Richmond Hill , GA a number of years ago with his wife. Our priest said he was very quiet- they sat in the back and he did not call attention to himself. We are so blessed to have him on SCOTUS.
I agree Margot, everything the illegitimate autopen regime did during their 4 years of treason and tyranny should be overturned. Its why we must all get more engaged, its why we must also LTMW, and I mean both Trump and Thomas.
Yes, she was a product of the woke movement, and while most could see what a pretentious fool she was, many senators didn’t dare reject her lest they be called racist!
Sadly, their cowardice has saddled the Supreme Court with this burden for years to come!
It's interesting to note that it was Senator Biden who was the most vocal opponent of Thomas's confirmation and struck me as very much like a serpent in the garden during the hearings. The tables are turned now and Biden has slithered off while Justice Thomas is the leading voice of conservatism. Isn't God amazing!
Jeff stated "On cable news and in friendly write‑ups, Democrats denounced Thomas for “blasting” progressivism, accused him of endangering democracy, and recycled the usual ethics grievances— but none of them would touch his underlying claim that modern progressivism treats rights as government favors rather than gifts from God."
In this short essay on Does Power Corrupt this idealistic call for "democracy is shown to be a farce as turning a democracy into tyranny is relatively easy... " History proves that the mytho-poetic idealism of statism only serves to legislate and codify “Power over Others. The United States recognition of the right to seek self gain, (capitalism) combined with the fact that fundamentally we are or were a “republic”, guaranteeing freedom from tyranny of other groups, or from the tyranny of minorities and any majority, be it religious, political, corporate, or a combination thereof, is highly moral. My perspective is that it is a mistaken view that capitalism causes an evil selfishness in the pursuit of material prosperity. It has been stated that there is an inescapable form of selfish desire in the actions of all men; the removal of pain, want and suffering and the attainment of lasting happiness.
Capitalism is in many respects fundamentally honest, and a partial reflection of the above. It is an admittance that personal gain is never absent, even in the most altruistic, and so capitalism makes no pretense of removing personal gain. It also makes no moral judgment of personal gain being bad. It is a neutral admittance that desire for personal gain exists, and cannot be legislated away. Social systems that vainly seek to legislate selflessness, only condense the dark side of personal gain aspect into the most powerful people within the government, and in removing liberty and power from the common man, engender helplessness in the masses.
The one who prospers in capitalism has the freedom to become a philanthropist, or the freedom to use his wealth in a narrow selfish way. Capitalism however has a basic tenant stating that even the purely selfish accumulation of material goods, if acquired in the honest production of a good or service of value to others in society, produces good for that society. However, in empowering the individual there must be a strong co-commitment element of self-responsibility. One cannot expect the protections such a society enables without both self responsibility and offering some form of service back to that society.
The love of power for the purpose of subjugating others for one’s own ends cannot be removed by any government mandate or system. It just operates less effectively within a system built expressly for protection from such tyranny. The responsibility of the US form of government is designed to prevent the formation of such tyrannies: Corporate monopolies that unfairly drive out competition, lobby groups looking for special privileges, banking methods that rig the monetary system and allow leverage of assets tantamount to gambling in fractional reserve banking on steroids, government decisions making risk public but profit private, government sponsored enterprises and un-elected three letter agencies that, under direct supervision and authority of government regulators, do all of the above, are not caused by a capitalist republic, but are a perversion of it caused by the love of power over others, and the lack of cultural wisdom as revealed by the Ten Commandments and or “Satama Dharma”. (eternal principles of righteousness) It is the failure of the US government to police the above which is dereliction of their primary responsibility, the protection of individual and small group freedom and power, from the tyranny of those with group power, in any form.
The quotes of US and world statist politicians supporting extreme statism is very long. Why this globalist attack on the US? It is, in the view of many, due to the foundational principles that separate the US from most nations. The very factors that made the US ”a light on the hill” were the foundational principles based on “God given” individual sovereign rights, which by law limit government power. (One need not have faith in the divine to partially understand the value in this ideal of protection of individual liberty above human law) https://anderdaa7.substack.com/p/does-absolute-power-corrupt?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
My great- uncle Reverend Daniel Crowley ( I am also a MA transplant to GA in the 80’s) graduated from Holy Cross and then went to seminary. He was ordained a diocesan priest for the Diocese of Springfield. He always spoke fondly of his time there as well.
Indeed. I hate for him to retire, but I do hope he does and is replaced by someone just like him before the Dems can replace him with someone frighteningly progressive.
I’m not sure how the process works, but should Thomas retire President Trump should take his advice on his replacement - not any advisors. Barrett has been an embarrassment.
I just went back and looked and it was December 2019, right before Covid hit. Our priest had come to the house to entrust it to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and that’s when he told me about Justice Thomas coming to Mass. This priest was Nigerian and said he got to meet him after Mass and shake his hand.
And I’m old enough to remember the pure hell that the Left subjected Thomas to during the confirmation hearings. Only by the grace of God did this good man survive those lying scurrilous attacks.
The ‘Progressives’ were emboldened by their take down of Reagan’s fine nominee, Robert Bork, which was led by (worse than Swalwell), serial, sexual abuser, Ted Kennedy (may he forever rot in hell) over racist accusations a few years earlier and they were out for blood.
From Wikipedia; Bork responded, (to a pack of lies in Ted Kennedy’s speech) "There was not a line in that speech that was accurate."[33] In an obituary of Kennedy, The Economist remarked that Bork may well have been correct, "but it worked".[33] Bork contended in his book, The Tempting of America, that the brief prepared for then-Senator Joe Biden, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "so thoroughly misrepresented a plain record that it easily qualifies as world class in the category of scurrility."[34] Opponents of Bork's nomination found the arguments against him justified, claiming that Bork believed the Civil Rights Act was unconstitutional, and he supported poll taxes, literacy tests for voting, mandated school prayer, and sterilization as a requirement for a job, while opposing free speech rights for non-political speech and privacy rights for gay conduct.[35]
Being that Thomas was a black man, the Progressives chose lies about sexual harassment with such idiotic claims as him placing a pubic hair on a coke can and talking about a porn movie called ‘Long dong Wong’ or some such. They got Anita Hill to lie her ass off, and of course she became a hero of the Left and still is.
So how has progressivism taken root and gained so much control of our lives? Through building their "Institutional Democracy" they are so proud of - and with our money - and which has very nearly choked the life out of our Constututional Republic, our freedom our liberty. They are holding on with stolen elections and country wide lawfare by insane judicial activists and legislators at every level of government.
Did you see the news bit that California is considering outlawing video reporting on fraud? Nick Shirley keeps on finding the most egregious examples of how the unscrupulous rip us taxpapers off.
I’ve been waiting for Jeff to address this! The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” as it’s being called. Against “immigrant providers” 🙄. I thought it already passed?!
I totally agree Dan. Those progressive Judges have been a thorn in the side of so many issues/changes that this administration has tried to accomplish for the benefit of our nation and it’s people.
The answer to your question is the Global Commercial & Investment Banking Cartel and it's devotion to maintaining monopoly control over Ethos-Pathos-Logos through the use of FinTech.
Illness of the flesh. I do not completely disagree as well. Easy to understand why "medical" scientists and physicians were chosen and trained to replace priests as Empires new tip of the spear.
I do find it quite remarkable how the current makeup of the SOTUS accurately reflects our national population. I've never paid that much attention to this, but I predict a couple of the justices will have to resign soon. Its so absurd what some of them have said in public.
They were not put there to uphold the Constitution, they were put there to destroy as much of it as possible. Upholding the Constitution is diametrically opposed to their suffocating institutional democracy.
My son lives in Austin. I live in the Hill Country. He said something so funny when describing Austinites. He said “Mom, this isn’t Texas. This is AUSTIN!” It’s different than the rest of Texas! 😂
As a fellow Texan, and resident of the Hill Country, I wholeheartedly agree with your son! Even though we’re 45 min-1hr from Austin, we NEVER go there anymore. I refuse to spend my money or time in Austin! Bravo to Justice Thomas for walking into the belly of the Beast. We locals know just how brave that was. Frankly, I’m surprised they even allowed him to speak, knowing his strong adherence to the Constitution!
The University of Austin is radically different and was founded by prominent conservatives to offer the bilge coming out of places like the University of Texas.
Well hello neighbor! My husband & I live in Canyon Lake. Unfortunately, New Braunfels, San Antonio, San Marcos & out of control builders are siphoning off the lake very quickly.
We're probably 30 minutes from you. We're off 46 near Smithson Valley HS. Despite all the growth out here, we still call it God’s Country! Heck, we probably shop at the same HEB!
Let’s replace Fentanyl Floyd murals and statues with Justice Thomas; a true role model to, not only the black community, but all men of the Inited States.
Who was his audience besides those in the room? Americans who need to wake up? CSPAN watchers? Perhaps even some of his colleagues on the Court who need to be reminded?
He walked in and made sure to step on every single progressive toe in that room 😂
The more Keyanji opens her foul mouth and utters nonsensical delusions, the more she makes her profound intellectual inferiority obvious compared to her counterparts. What progressive, ghetto street corner did they find her on?
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
Today’s post was so interesting. As I’ve mentioned here, I talk politics and world events with my dad all the time, he turns 94 this month. My perspective has been that the 60s generation is what started the descent into what our country is today, but my dad has always said it was Woodrow Wilson. Now I’ll have to tell him that he was probably right (which I knew anyway, he’s got a much larger frame of reference than I do).
Ever since I took history in high school way back in the dark ages of the mid 60s, I have said Woodrow Wilson has been a thorn in the side of America. And like Biden, his wife and fellow progressive covered up his ineptness during his last few years of his presidency.
Glenn Beck listeners know well the history of Wilson and his progressive state — along with the other bureaucratic cancers unleashed during his administration — and why Glenn HHHAAAAAATES Wilson. Unfortunately those effects metastasized through later Progressives like FDR and are now at every level of government. Today’s progressives of course mix in Marxism for maximum detrimental effect.
Wilson was also the one who started the Jim Crow laws. Princeton Seminary president - tells me everything about what happened to the Presbyterian Church in the US over the past 100 years.
❤️❤️❤️I have a similar relationship with my dad, although a couple decades less mature. He’s actually a subscriber here too. I look forward to having these discussions with him when he’s in his 90s.
Makes us appreciate all the more why the left fought so viciously to keep Thomas from getting on the SC. I remember. Biden and Ted Kennedy were the chief hyenas. I have detested Biden ever since. Stupid, mean, partisan hack his entire career.
He referred to it as a "high tech lynching of an uppity black man" or something close to that. Very close to the heart. You know they are itching to criticize him for being conservative while black... The first one to do that will probably end up imploding like The Witch King at Minas Tirith under the moral force of his gaze. Which would make great television, really...
Ugh not me. He falls asleep in a chair when he gets home around 5:30 pm. Wakes up to eat, then sleeps WHILE eating a bowl of popcorn. Quite the skill and I have video proof of him doing it, eyes closed, hand slowly to mouth … but me? I’m stuck awake until about 9:30 pm at the earliest. Sometimes 10:30
Good Morning C&C! Jeff, here's hoping your eye heals quickly. The problem with Justice Thomas is...he's 77. Not that he's too old. I'm not that far behind him. But at 77, he's running out of runway. I'd love for him to stay on the bench for another 100 years. Lord knows, we need his intelligence, his wisdom, and his very calm demeanor. He is a rare gem.
Far too rare. Send $10 to support Hillsdale College. It is training American youth to appreciate the views of Justice Thomas - - the waiting list for admission is very long, a bright ember in a greatly diminished fire - - -
There is talk of Trump making a couple of appointments to the SC before his term ends, due to retirements. I hope Thomas is not one of them, there is no comparable replacement for him. But Ketanji Jackson should be removed for being illegally appointed. Besides being retarded.
@RJ- most gays, like most heteros, want just a quiet life where they work and enjoy the perks of working for what they want. SOME of both cultures belong in hell with a bullet hole in their heads.
Maybe this speech by Thomas is setting him up for retirement. He’ll advise Trump on a replacement & hopefully POTUS listens. Maybe John Eastman who defended Trump & had his law license removed by CA?
In case you're interested WTI (West Texas Intermediate crude oil) is at $89.00 @ 9:00AM, EDT. Oops, $87.95 before I could finish typing! Oops again $86.41. If you are crazy about this kind of stuff you can follow energy prices here: https://oilprice.com/oil-price-charts/#WTI-Crude
That is the true test of how well the progressives captured our higher education to inoculate it against hearing wisdom from speakers like Thomas … whether or not the audience tuned him out, dismissed everything, and jumped on the liberal outrage bandwagon.
I had to double check where he gave that speech, Jeff said it was at The University of Austin, but it was actually (as you said) The University of Texas at Austin, which is a different institution from the University of Austin.
Nah, NM is dominated by wealthy libtards that come from places like CA (lots of “celebrities” live here). Once the illegals cross, they want to get as far from the border as possible. They end up in NY, IL, MI, etc.
Because it's cheaper to live there - incredible natural beauty (so the libtards can screw it up) - totally corrupt after decades of dummycrat rule. Lived there for ~8.5 years in Catron County.
When LoL bought Purina Mills I had to work for the commie co-op. Like all Co-ops they are evil and only function for the benefit of the managers and not for the members. Co-ops are more communist than capitalism.
Sadly, Steenroid, I have to agree. My wife and I drove from Phoenix, AZ to Minnesota three summers ago. Our first over night stay was in ABQ. It felt like a third-world country, and that was the summer of 2023.
I lived in Oregon from 1979-2022. One of the frequent bumper snickers I saw was "Keep Portland Weird". My favorite bumper snicker was, "Weirds not Working". I love it when Jeff frequently clarifies statements with, "For you Portland folks".......
As fiercely as modern progressives are fighting Trump and MAGA (their fight seemingly has zero limits on what they are willing to do; take Susan Rice's threat as one example), they know exactly what Justice Thomas knows: these two forms of government "cannot coexist forever."
217409 miles on my 2015 Outback, and going strong. No stickers, being in the heart of the pharmaceutical research state of MA some lib would damage my car.
We got our Outback in August. Love it! We’ve already put 17K miles on it. We did a roadtrip in March that included the Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Monument Valley and points between. No stickers or decals on it yet, but I bought National Park stickers to add at some point.
Outback owner here- I have a Biden Laptop Matters sticker and one that is round like the seal of The President of the United States, in the center it has 2 lines. 45/FA and 47/FO but I have considered adding a 'I'm not a lesbian' sticker just to be clear.
The worst drivers I see are the ones with college alumni license plates. Especially from well-known leftist institutions reputed to be “good” colleges. Entitled jerks, the vast majority of these drivers. As always, there are exceptions but that’s held true for most, in my experience.
My Ford Bronco Sport has 2 bumper stickers. One is Trust in God and the other is I AM CHARLIE KIRK. Boy here in Portland I piss off a lot of people. I get flipped of and screamed at
How about a FRONT bumper sticker with the words Go Extinct printed in a reverse image so that the person in front of you reads it in their rear view mirror?
Yes, when the Crescent has a fundamental ideology dedicated to wiping the Star of David from the face of the Earth, “Coexist” is just a lunatic delusion. Have you seen the version with the letters configured out of different firearms? Much more realistic. Well-armed people are usually quite polite and content to actually coexist.
I still remember that day when he went on the offensive against the democrats who were trying to deny him his Supreme Court seat. I had just arrived in Pennsylvania on the way to visit my daughters and had pulled into a fireworks store parking lot when he started speaking. I was spellbound and sat in the lot as he ripped his opponents a new one!
I realized then that he was the right man for the job and he has yet to let me down.
I haven’t heard this new speech yet, only read snippets, but I will find the time!
Maybe it's a good time to flood Justice Thomas with C&C cards of appreciation! Not retirement yet!
I'm posting his address just in case anybody needs it !
Formal Address (Envelope/Letterhead):
The Honorable Clarence Thomas
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20543
Salutation (Inside Letter):
Dear Justice Thomas:
Reference in Text:
Justice Thomas or Associate Justice Thomas.
Key Details for 2026:
Clarence Thomas has served as an Associate Justice since October 23, 1991.
He is currently the longest-serving member of the Court.
He is sometimes referred to as an Associate Justice to differentiate from the Chief Justice, but "Justice Thomas" is standard.
Thank you Jeff for keeping us pointed to sanity!!
Prayers for your eyes! Wearing shades all day during treatment is something my eye doctor told me when I was younger 4 eye surgeries. Not many eye doctors tell you to keep your shades on all day and stay out of sunshine (in your beautiful state!) Maybe an ole wives tale...who knows? LOL Prayers to The Healer lifted! 😎 🙏🏼🦋💜⚓
I have a friend that lost her sight in one eye due to a brain cancer. Her doctors were adamant about her using sunglasses to protect her very blue eye that still works. Insisted that everyone should be wearing sunglasses any time they are out doors.
@Teresa- my former brother in law is in the same situation (although he doesn't have blue eyes). His wife died suddenly last month and he cant take care of himself. Sad...
NO. In holistically treating (successfully ) my wife's cancer virtually every cancer blood said sunglasses cause cancer by making your body think it is night and disrupting the natural producion of melatonin, seratonin, D3, and other critical hormones and vitamins. Most sunblocks cause cancer too and they are rapidly absorbed into the skin. So time to put on some more right.
I love your idea above! But I would like to suggest 1 more. Print a copy of his speech and send it to our Congress members. We need to help them with their thinking, encourage some political fortitude and constitutional courage. Imagine the impact of hundreds (thousands?) of Thomas’s speech showing up in their offices from “We the People!”; “Dear Rep or Senator, WE wanted to be sure you didn’t miss this important message. Please make time to read and carefully take in the truth of this speech. Praying for your courage and strength to stand in protection of our constitution and our country.”
(Probably do not include the tempting line “praying for your backbone, and for a new set of big balls”)
WE are watching with interest and expectation for good results.
Respectfully,
We the People
Anyone have a good link for the printed version of Thomas’s speech?
That's a great idea too! I tried to print it a few minutes ago. All I got was the link to it. It didn't print the actual speech. Of course it might be my computer because we've got issues! LOL I'm writing my senators today too now. Thank you!🦋🦋
Actually, that strikes me as a great idea! I doubt that Jeff reads all the comments. Colloidal silver works and it's cheap, and since he didn't mention it, I'd bet Jeff doesn't know about it.
I hate to be that guy, but Justice Thomas spoke at The University of Texas at Austin, not the University of Austin (which is also a University here in Austin). It matters because, finally, we have an administration (President Jim Davis and Provost Will Imboden among the best) which is no longer afraid of its faculty and demonstrating real leadership in the state’s flagship university.
Yes, I think it would be very unsafe for President Trump to go to Pakistan. Like you said, they should come to the White House to sign the final agreement!
Pakistan provided 5 security jets to protect the US delegation last weekend.
They provided 20 for the Iranian delegation.
It's almost as if they realized which country was the bigger threat to negotiators of the other country. Witness the Wash Po editorial calling for the murder of the Iranian negotiators if they didn't comply with US demands.
The hotel was surrounded with soldiers, also.
But obviously there is not going to be a settlement in one day. The US is not serious about a settlement.
Iran sent 5 teams of experts, including the foreign minister and the head of Parliament for the political talks. They sent the governor of the central bank and other financial experts to discuss the sanctions and their frozen assets. They sent military experts to discuss missile production. They sent security experts to talk about security guarantees, including for Lebanon and Yemen. They sent experts to talk about the nuclear issue.
The US sent the vice president and 2 New York real estate operators.
Looks like the Chief Justice is targeting the Trotskyites.
. He called progressivism “an existential threat” to America, compared it to totalitarianism and slaveholding, and explicitly called for resistance comparable to the original American Revolution. Fix bayonets! It was a declaration of war.
Im doing some research on tax cases where people have not paid the illegitimate revenue service which funds illegal Somali daycares, among other things. If anyone has any resources, send them my way!
Clarence Thomas is a MAN, an American MAN, a magnificent example of what every man should be (notice no qualifiers). We are blessed with his presence on the SCOTUS and wherever he decides to speak truth. May he live another 50 years and remain on the court the entire time.
And he is spot on about progressivism and a helluva lot more men should be standing up and loudly proclaiming the same. Find your inner Alpha male men, be a Clarence Thomas.
He came to Christmas Mass at our parish in Richmond Hill , GA a number of years ago with his wife. Our priest said he was very quiet- they sat in the back and he did not call attention to himself. We are so blessed to have him on SCOTUS.
Unlike the awful Jackson who attended the Oscars and rooted for the lefttards.
Ketanji should be removed, as she is an illegitimate product of the Autopen regime.
I agree Margot, everything the illegitimate autopen regime did during their 4 years of treason and tyranny should be overturned. Its why we must all get more engaged, its why we must also LTMW, and I mean both Trump and Thomas.
💯
She is not intellectually worthy of her position. She is a DEI hire.
Illegitimate autopen children came to mind 🤣
A DEI hire who has no business whatsoever on the SCOTUS. Could not even tell us what a woman is and yet the rotten, corrupt Senate let her through.
An article in the Epoch Times I hope everyone can access and read: https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/justice-jackson-criticizes-supreme-court-saying-it-overuses-emergency-docket-6012522
The reprobate can't see the elephant in the room.
Yes, she was a product of the woke movement, and while most could see what a pretentious fool she was, many senators didn’t dare reject her lest they be called racist!
Sadly, their cowardice has saddled the Supreme Court with this burden for years to come!

Yes, absolutely Amen! Thank you Patrick.

Great point
The contrast in intellectual status between Thomas and Jackson is astounding.
You left out the awful Sotomayor. just a hair less bad than Jackson.
Likely the dumbest person on the court.
Qualifications were never a consideration for either of them. And that is a horrible thing to say but it is completely true.
One of the three lefty loonies occasionally is rational. Is it Kagan?
I am Canadian. I don’t follow it super closely
Ugggg- don’t remind me 🙄 I still question her qualifications
what qualifications? Pure DEI hire
So does Justice Barrett.
And don’t forget she’s also a Broadway star.
I'll agree she's a broadway but a star she is not!
🤮
I was always delighted to hear he attended Holy Cross College in Worcester, MA. I attended that school for my college AF ROTC.
He has remained a devout Roman Catholic. Justice Thomas is one of my heroes.
A Hero to many who love our country!
My great- uncle Reverend Daniel Crowley ( I am also a MA transplant to GA in the 80’s) graduated from Holy Cross and then went to seminary. He was ordained a diocesan priest for the Diocese of Springfield. He always spoke fondly of his time there as well.
Indeed. I hate for him to retire, but I do hope he does and is replaced by someone just like him before the Dems can replace him with someone frighteningly progressive.
I’m not sure how the process works, but should Thomas retire President Trump should take his advice on his replacement - not any advisors. Barrett has been an embarrassment.
Yes, very good idea.
Ted Cruz should be next for a seat at the SCOTUS table.
I live in Texas and I like Cruz, but a Supreme Court justice? Don't see it.
@Jeff- He's a Constitutional attorney. Who better to interpret the Constitution than he?
Ok. Maybe Jonathan Turley.
Yes, of course, but somehow, he just doesn't strike me as someone to occupy that bench. But I will say, we could do a LOT worse than him.
His ability to interpret the Constitution was wrong when he ran for President. He is ineligible and he knew it yet he still ran.
Or move judge Jeanine Pirro into the position. She’s fire!🔥
Absolutely not.
Ugg!
I am hoping he continues past the progressive wave to the other side. We still need him! 10 more years if it’s possible.
There is no one like him…
Wow. What a blessing to have him at your service. When he speaks - all will listen.
I just went back and looked and it was December 2019, right before Covid hit. Our priest had come to the house to entrust it to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and that’s when he told me about Justice Thomas coming to Mass. This priest was Nigerian and said he got to meet him after Mass and shake his hand.
One of the few things GHW Bush got right was his nomination of Justice Thomas to the SCOTUS.
And I’m old enough to remember the pure hell that the Left subjected Thomas to during the confirmation hearings. Only by the grace of God did this good man survive those lying scurrilous attacks.
The ‘Progressives’ were emboldened by their take down of Reagan’s fine nominee, Robert Bork, which was led by (worse than Swalwell), serial, sexual abuser, Ted Kennedy (may he forever rot in hell) over racist accusations a few years earlier and they were out for blood.
From Wikipedia; Bork responded, (to a pack of lies in Ted Kennedy’s speech) "There was not a line in that speech that was accurate."[33] In an obituary of Kennedy, The Economist remarked that Bork may well have been correct, "but it worked".[33] Bork contended in his book, The Tempting of America, that the brief prepared for then-Senator Joe Biden, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "so thoroughly misrepresented a plain record that it easily qualifies as world class in the category of scurrility."[34] Opponents of Bork's nomination found the arguments against him justified, claiming that Bork believed the Civil Rights Act was unconstitutional, and he supported poll taxes, literacy tests for voting, mandated school prayer, and sterilization as a requirement for a job, while opposing free speech rights for non-political speech and privacy rights for gay conduct.[35]
Being that Thomas was a black man, the Progressives chose lies about sexual harassment with such idiotic claims as him placing a pubic hair on a coke can and talking about a porn movie called ‘Long dong Wong’ or some such. They got Anita Hill to lie her ass off, and of course she became a hero of the Left and still is.
We cannot hate the left enough!
So how has progressivism taken root and gained so much control of our lives? Through building their "Institutional Democracy" they are so proud of - and with our money - and which has very nearly choked the life out of our Constututional Republic, our freedom our liberty. They are holding on with stolen elections and country wide lawfare by insane judicial activists and legislators at every level of government.
The Federal Reserve was created and the income tax enacted in 1913 too.
And don't forget waste, fraud and abuse!
Did you see the news bit that California is considering outlawing video reporting on fraud? Nick Shirley keeps on finding the most egregious examples of how the unscrupulous rip us taxpapers off.
I’ve been waiting for Jeff to address this! The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” as it’s being called. Against “immigrant providers” 🙄. I thought it already passed?!
Yep. Theft.
I totally agree Dan. Those progressive Judges have been a thorn in the side of so many issues/changes that this administration has tried to accomplish for the benefit of our nation and it’s people.
Well said, Dan
The answer to your question is the Global Commercial & Investment Banking Cartel and it's devotion to maintaining monopoly control over Ethos-Pathos-Logos through the use of FinTech.
I don't completely disagree, I would simply take it to its logical, fundamental beginning: incarnate evil in those people.
Illness of the flesh. I do not completely disagree as well. Easy to understand why "medical" scientists and physicians were chosen and trained to replace priests as Empires new tip of the spear.
I do find it quite remarkable how the current makeup of the SOTUS accurately reflects our national population. I've never paid that much attention to this, but I predict a couple of the justices will have to resign soon. Its so absurd what some of them have said in public.
They were not put there to uphold the Constitution, they were put there to destroy as much of it as possible. Upholding the Constitution is diametrically opposed to their suffocating institutional democracy.
And indoctrinating our public school children for over two generations!
And as evidence, witness that he went into Austin, TX to give this speech. Right into the belly of the beast.
Oh yeah!! There's Texas and then there is Austin.
My son lives in Austin. I live in the Hill Country. He said something so funny when describing Austinites. He said “Mom, this isn’t Texas. This is AUSTIN!” It’s different than the rest of Texas! 😂
As a fellow Texan, and resident of the Hill Country, I wholeheartedly agree with your son! Even though we’re 45 min-1hr from Austin, we NEVER go there anymore. I refuse to spend my money or time in Austin! Bravo to Justice Thomas for walking into the belly of the Beast. We locals know just how brave that was. Frankly, I’m surprised they even allowed him to speak, knowing his strong adherence to the Constitution!
The University of Austin is radically different and was founded by prominent conservatives to offer the bilge coming out of places like the University of Texas.
Well hello neighbor! My husband & I live in Canyon Lake. Unfortunately, New Braunfels, San Antonio, San Marcos & out of control builders are siphoning off the lake very quickly.
We're probably 30 minutes from you. We're off 46 near Smithson Valley HS. Despite all the growth out here, we still call it God’s Country! Heck, we probably shop at the same HEB!
Exactly! We Texans must make that distinction. It's like there's football, and there's the NFL. The two are not the same thing.
Isn't Austin's slogan "Keep Austin Weird?"
Bravo Justice Thomas, Bravo!
Or, as I like to call it, SFO East!!
Yes, a man’s man in every sense!
Agree 100%!
Every MAGA candidate for office should reprint this speech and make it the center of their campaign.
A damn good idea Joseph.
AMEN!
Let’s replace Fentanyl Floyd murals and statues with Justice Thomas; a true role model to, not only the black community, but all men of the Inited States.
Wow! Thanks Dan, When a man's a man, things happen for good! We need more steel in our men, in our leaders, especially in Congress!!
Exactly correct, PM.
Justice Thomas knows what time it is. Highly recommend his documentary In His Own Words if you haven’t watched it yet.
Will definitely check it out! Thnx!
If you know where I can watch it I would appreciate the link. Everywhere I've looked says its not available.
Search says pbs.com. Maybe YouTube too.
As it was once said: "I AM NOT WORTHY."
And CORRECTION - Clarence Thomas IS the MAN
More thoughts on IRAN - https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/me-too-but-not-when-it-comes-to-the
May God give him many more years, that he can serve on the Supreme Court for at least another 20 years! 🙏🏼
Who was his audience besides those in the room? Americans who need to wake up? CSPAN watchers? Perhaps even some of his colleagues on the Court who need to be reminded?
He walked in and made sure to step on every single progressive toe in that room 😂
The more Keyanji opens her foul mouth and utters nonsensical delusions, the more she makes her profound intellectual inferiority obvious compared to her counterparts. What progressive, ghetto street corner did they find her on?
May I repost you comments on my FB page?
Hi Barbara,
Yes, by all means, share as widely as you like. Thank you. Dan
✝️✝️✝️
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
— Mark 8:34-36 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
This scripture was my daily devotion this morning & here it is again — no coincidence. 🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating also that I had it saved for yesterday, but the Lord changed it up.
Thank you Janice 💗
Anyone read Compass Enews? They have mentioned Jeff in their last two updates
Can you be more specific? Is it a Substack? When I typed in Compass enews, I got several choices and none of which were exactly that.
Here's a link to their website: https://compass.org/compass-enews/
AMEN!
Thank you, Janice. Your posts brighten my day and my walk with our Lord. ♥
Today’s post was so interesting. As I’ve mentioned here, I talk politics and world events with my dad all the time, he turns 94 this month. My perspective has been that the 60s generation is what started the descent into what our country is today, but my dad has always said it was Woodrow Wilson. Now I’ll have to tell him that he was probably right (which I knew anyway, he’s got a much larger frame of reference than I do).
My favorite saying: “The older I get, the smarter my dad was.”
So true! I realized that a long time ago, but it’s still fun to debate sometimes.
My dad would always say ‘the only good Democrat is a dead one’ ….. he was right about that and everything he said
Sounds harsh, but when one considers they created the Civil war, Wilson's stuff, FDR's stuff, less of them is better for the rest of us.
Ha ha Ruth, but they somehow still find a way to vote!🤣
gonna steal that and post it elsewhere
Yes 😊
That just proves how smart you are!
Ever since I took history in high school way back in the dark ages of the mid 60s, I have said Woodrow Wilson has been a thorn in the side of America. And like Biden, his wife and fellow progressive covered up his ineptness during his last few years of his presidency.
Glenn Beck listeners know well the history of Wilson and his progressive state — along with the other bureaucratic cancers unleashed during his administration — and why Glenn HHHAAAAAATES Wilson. Unfortunately those effects metastasized through later Progressives like FDR and are now at every level of government. Today’s progressives of course mix in Marxism for maximum detrimental effect.
Joe Biden was nothing more than a grifter con man and just a useful idiot tool for the progressives. IMHO of course.
Wilson was also the one who started the Jim Crow laws. Princeton Seminary president - tells me everything about what happened to the Presbyterian Church in the US over the past 100 years.
It was Wilson may he rot in hell. More accurately it was his wife who I hope is along side him.
❤️❤️❤️I have a similar relationship with my dad, although a couple decades less mature. He’s actually a subscriber here too. I look forward to having these discussions with him when he’s in his 90s.
Did not start early enough . Teddy Roosevelt was the original screaming progressive, not Wilson
I do not know much about Wilson! Hmmm I will have to go reading
Justice Thomas is a gift from the Lord God.
Scott Buerge
Makes us appreciate all the more why the left fought so viciously to keep Thomas from getting on the SC. I remember. Biden and Ted Kennedy were the chief hyenas. I have detested Biden ever since. Stupid, mean, partisan hack his entire career.
So true, they savaged him with untrue, hateful attacks to try and get him to fail, but he withstood them all. And the USA won!
Wasn’t that just cruel how they treated him. “A modern day lynching” is what he himself called it. It made me cry
He referred to it as a "high tech lynching of an uppity black man" or something close to that. Very close to the heart. You know they are itching to criticize him for being conservative while black... The first one to do that will probably end up imploding like The Witch King at Minas Tirith under the moral force of his gaze. Which would make great television, really...
Most definitely commendable force is that gaze!
Hi-tech lynching, for sure
If anyone kept pubic hair in a matchbox it would be Biden 🤮🤮
That is unfortunately hilarious.
Here he is:

Thank you for posting today even when your eye hurts ❤️ get well soon!
I just installed the second dose of antihistamine eye drops this morning..... and I had been awake for two hours by 4:15 am. Good times.... 🤧
I’ve been awake since 3 am. 🫤 I get woken up when my husband leaves for work and then can’t fall back asleep. I’m like a zombie right now …
I hope y'all are in bed by 7 pm. 😴🛌
Ugh not me. He falls asleep in a chair when he gets home around 5:30 pm. Wakes up to eat, then sleeps WHILE eating a bowl of popcorn. Quite the skill and I have video proof of him doing it, eyes closed, hand slowly to mouth … but me? I’m stuck awake until about 9:30 pm at the earliest. Sometimes 10:30
There is apparently only one thing I can do while sleeping (other than sleeping). It resulted in my youngest daughter.
My uncle said I went to sleep, but left my motor running.
Haha, now I know why your comments are so spicy!
BUT ... Jeff made me laugh more from today's post than EVER
Amen, I thought exactly the same thing.
Good Morning C&C! Jeff, here's hoping your eye heals quickly. The problem with Justice Thomas is...he's 77. Not that he's too old. I'm not that far behind him. But at 77, he's running out of runway. I'd love for him to stay on the bench for another 100 years. Lord knows, we need his intelligence, his wisdom, and his very calm demeanor. He is a rare gem.
Far too rare. Send $10 to support Hillsdale College. It is training American youth to appreciate the views of Justice Thomas - - the waiting list for admission is very long, a bright ember in a greatly diminished fire - - -
My friends daughter got excepted so I donated $100.
I hope you meant “accepted”.
Thanks. Old people screw up. That’s what I get for watching Varney & Co and typing at same time.
Fixed it. Thanks again.
Edit didn’t work or I did it wrong.
Set yourself up for monthly donations, and take advantage of the free curriculum on the constitution and other topics on American history.
Hillsdale also offers free online courses on the constitution & other topics. Excellent source.
You're right! I will.
So glad you brought this up - we have been proud supporters of Hillsdale for years.
Hillsdale could be deep state hangout.
There is talk of Trump making a couple of appointments to the SC before his term ends, due to retirements. I hope Thomas is not one of them, there is no comparable replacement for him. But Ketanji Jackson should be removed for being illegally appointed. Besides being retarded.
I have been rebuked for calling people gay retards, though mostly by gay retards.
They are abusers more than idiots.
@RJ- most gays, like most heteros, want just a quiet life where they work and enjoy the perks of working for what they want. SOME of both cultures belong in hell with a bullet hole in their heads.
Not all gays are retards, on the contrary ... Scott Bessent, anyone?
And God reserves a very special place for the good ones ... and equally 'special' but not in a favorable sense ... for others
Just like ALL of us interesting and Beloved Creatures
Good point.
I hope he gets to replace Roberts as well. He is implicated in the Ukraine impeachment that the CIA cooked up.
If PDT replaces Roberts and the Otto Pen justice, I will be thrilled.
If Thomas isn’t replaced by Trump and we lose the senate (because of Thune), Thomas likely will be replaced by a prog, whether R or D…
🤣
😜😜
Maybe this speech by Thomas is setting him up for retirement. He’ll advise Trump on a replacement & hopefully POTUS listens. Maybe John Eastman who defended Trump & had his law license removed by CA?
Thomas is talking about Trump Stargate supporters and their data centers digital prison with Wilson quote.
"Worse, the justice explained, “Wilson lamented that we do too much by vote and too little by expert rule.”
Jeff opened a hornet's nest.
Kudos.
Love you Captain Consistency!!!
Changing hearts & minds one day at a time with humor snark & relentless buoyant optimisms!
Grateful Thanks Jeff!I' ♥♥♥✅

Incredibly rich (& savvy) for Justice Thomas to give such a speech in “Keep Austin Weird” Austin (truly a blight on the State of Texas).
Right?! Right in the den of vipers in Austin Texas at UT.
I wonder how his speech was “received” by the audience 😂
Probably like Vance’s speech in Munich last year!
He's speaking about Vance and the digital prison.
Remember the stories of how Hildabeast reacted on election night 2016? Prolly about the same.
I saw a standing ovation.
That is the true test of how well the progressives captured our higher education to inoculate it against hearing wisdom from speakers like Thomas … whether or not the audience tuned him out, dismissed everything, and jumped on the liberal outrage bandwagon.
I had to double check where he gave that speech, Jeff said it was at The University of Austin, but it was actually (as you said) The University of Texas at Austin, which is a different institution from the University of Austin.
Yes. The University of Austin is a recent endeavor by Bari Weiss, Niall Ferguson and a couple others.
Exactly. Not the same at all.
That makes more sense! I was shocked to hear UT.
Every state has a city that is a cesspool. TX has Austin and here in NM it’s ABQ.
I have wondered how NM became so liberal?
60,000 illegals, the vast majority from Mexico.
Thanks, makes sense.
Nah, NM is dominated by wealthy libtards that come from places like CA (lots of “celebrities” live here). Once the illegals cross, they want to get as far from the border as possible. They end up in NY, IL, MI, etc.
Because it's cheaper to live there - incredible natural beauty (so the libtards can screw it up) - totally corrupt after decades of dummycrat rule. Lived there for ~8.5 years in Catron County.
I moved here in 1991 and the only good governor was pot smoking Gary Johnson. At least he vetoed a majority of the bills the Demtoids passed.
It’s a single party state just like CA. And that party is controlled by Mexicans on the State level.
It’s always been dominated by corruptocrats. It’s NEVER been red like AZ & CO used to be
And then there’s Minneapolis!! 🥴
@Merry- try living in Western NY where the completely opposite side of the state runs everything
I think I’d rather be in your situation rather than right in the thick of the insanity. Hang in there! 👍
When LoL bought Purina Mills I had to work for the commie co-op. Like all Co-ops they are evil and only function for the benefit of the managers and not for the members. Co-ops are more communist than capitalism.
IDK, I’m in NM too & Santa Fe is full of soy boys & pink haired libtards of all ages. Cruces bad too
The I-25 shitholes. Hard to say which is worse.
Sadly, Steenroid, I have to agree. My wife and I drove from Phoenix, AZ to Minnesota three summers ago. Our first over night stay was in ABQ. It felt like a third-world country, and that was the summer of 2023.
And Oregon has Portland, Salem and Eugene.
Striking at the heart... well played.
I lived in Oregon from 1979-2022. One of the frequent bumper snickers I saw was "Keep Portland Weird". My favorite bumper snicker was, "Weirds not Working". I love it when Jeff frequently clarifies statements with, "For you Portland folks".......
As fiercely as modern progressives are fighting Trump and MAGA (their fight seemingly has zero limits on what they are willing to do; take Susan Rice's threat as one example), they know exactly what Justice Thomas knows: these two forms of government "cannot coexist forever."
Feel better, Jeff! Ty for the post.
Also, “the most annoying bumper sticker ever made” had me in tears 😭 🤣
Always on a Prius and Subaru (sorry if you own one of these 🤪)
😂
I love my Subaru! 😂
217409 miles on my 2015 Outback, and going strong. No stickers, being in the heart of the pharmaceutical research state of MA some lib would damage my car.
We got our Outback in August. Love it! We’ve already put 17K miles on it. We did a roadtrip in March that included the Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Monument Valley and points between. No stickers or decals on it yet, but I bought National Park stickers to add at some point.
Funny how since moving to SC from Commiefornia I don’t see many Priuses at all 🤣🤣🤣
Heck, in Texas, it’s a law no Priuses allowed outside sanctuary cities! Now let’s talk trucks….!
Outback owner here- I have a Biden Laptop Matters sticker and one that is round like the seal of The President of the United States, in the center it has 2 lines. 45/FA and 47/FO but I have considered adding a 'I'm not a lesbian' sticker just to be clear.
I love that 45/47 part, that’s awesome! 😁
They're awful to be stuck behind in traffic too. #1 and #2.
The worst drivers I see are the ones with college alumni license plates. Especially from well-known leftist institutions reputed to be “good” colleges. Entitled jerks, the vast majority of these drivers. As always, there are exceptions but that’s held true for most, in my experience.
Eh I’ve seen them on all kinds of cars, Honda sedans and Ford SUVs included 🤷♀️
My Ford Bronco Sport has 2 bumper stickers. One is Trust in God and the other is I AM CHARLIE KIRK. Boy here in Portland I piss off a lot of people. I get flipped of and screamed at
They’re certainly showing how well they are able to “coexist” 🙄
When I see that ridiculous “coexist” sticker, I wish I could as the driver what they actually believe about that.
I want to send them to a Muslim country to see how their “coexist” works out 😑
Need any help with that? Let me know!
How about a FRONT bumper sticker with the words Go Extinct printed in a reverse image so that the person in front of you reads it in their rear view mirror?
YES!!! That ‘coexist’ signals to me the driver is intolerant and mean
Yes, when the Crescent has a fundamental ideology dedicated to wiping the Star of David from the face of the Earth, “Coexist” is just a lunatic delusion. Have you seen the version with the letters configured out of different firearms? Much more realistic. Well-armed people are usually quite polite and content to actually coexist.
There's gotta be a more annoying bumper sticker. But I can't think of one.
Gas, Grass or A$$. No One Rides for Free. (I suppose I’m dating myself) 😆
I remember seeing that bumper sticker, mostly on VW busses
@CWigles- EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harris Walz comes to mind. 🙃
I used to see them all over. Have not noticed them lately. 🤔
@Susan- same
I still remember that day when he went on the offensive against the democrats who were trying to deny him his Supreme Court seat. I had just arrived in Pennsylvania on the way to visit my daughters and had pulled into a fireworks store parking lot when he started speaking. I was spellbound and sat in the lot as he ripped his opponents a new one!
I realized then that he was the right man for the job and he has yet to let me down.
I haven’t heard this new speech yet, only read snippets, but I will find the time!
Get well soon, Jeff.
Everyone have a great and blessed day!
Maybe it's a good time to flood Justice Thomas with C&C cards of appreciation! Not retirement yet!
I'm posting his address just in case anybody needs it !
Formal Address (Envelope/Letterhead):
The Honorable Clarence Thomas
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Supreme Court of the United States
One First Street, NE
Washington, DC 20543
Salutation (Inside Letter):
Dear Justice Thomas:
Reference in Text:
Justice Thomas or Associate Justice Thomas.
Key Details for 2026:
Clarence Thomas has served as an Associate Justice since October 23, 1991.
He is currently the longest-serving member of the Court.
He is sometimes referred to as an Associate Justice to differentiate from the Chief Justice, but "Justice Thomas" is standard.
Thank you Jeff for keeping us pointed to sanity!!
Prayers for your eyes! Wearing shades all day during treatment is something my eye doctor told me when I was younger 4 eye surgeries. Not many eye doctors tell you to keep your shades on all day and stay out of sunshine (in your beautiful state!) Maybe an ole wives tale...who knows? LOL Prayers to The Healer lifted! 😎 🙏🏼🦋💜⚓
What a marvelous idea! I will send a thank you note—such notes mean more to the recipient than we realize! Thanks for the address!
I have a friend that lost her sight in one eye due to a brain cancer. Her doctors were adamant about her using sunglasses to protect her very blue eye that still works. Insisted that everyone should be wearing sunglasses any time they are out doors.
@Teresa- my former brother in law is in the same situation (although he doesn't have blue eyes). His wife died suddenly last month and he cant take care of himself. Sad...
Oh, that is sad! I hope he has family that can either help, or get him the help he needs. 🙏🏻
Sunglasses cause cancer.
Eyes need it.
Fear of the sun and vitamin D
Is big $$.
NO. In holistically treating (successfully ) my wife's cancer virtually every cancer blood said sunglasses cause cancer by making your body think it is night and disrupting the natural producion of melatonin, seratonin, D3, and other critical hormones and vitamins. Most sunblocks cause cancer too and they are rapidly absorbed into the skin. So time to put on some more right.
the sun does not cause cancer. It causes sunburn
We have been lied to about everything.
I love your idea above! But I would like to suggest 1 more. Print a copy of his speech and send it to our Congress members. We need to help them with their thinking, encourage some political fortitude and constitutional courage. Imagine the impact of hundreds (thousands?) of Thomas’s speech showing up in their offices from “We the People!”; “Dear Rep or Senator, WE wanted to be sure you didn’t miss this important message. Please make time to read and carefully take in the truth of this speech. Praying for your courage and strength to stand in protection of our constitution and our country.”
(Probably do not include the tempting line “praying for your backbone, and for a new set of big balls”)
WE are watching with interest and expectation for good results.
Respectfully,
We the People
Anyone have a good link for the printed version of Thomas’s speech?
That's a great idea too! I tried to print it a few minutes ago. All I got was the link to it. It didn't print the actual speech. Of course it might be my computer because we've got issues! LOL I'm writing my senators today too now. Thank you!🦋🦋
AIPAC not happy.
Thank you.
Ooh great idea!!!
Jeff…Colloidal Sovereign Silver. Works like a CHARM for eye issues. Even conjunctivitis. Just sayin’.
YES! Great idea, Nard!
I thought about sending some to his office via Amazon, but thought that might be a little stalker-ish lol.
Actually, that strikes me as a great idea! I doubt that Jeff reads all the comments. Colloidal silver works and it's cheap, and since he didn't mention it, I'd bet Jeff doesn't know about it.
Been using it and making it for ~10 years. I give some to my cobbler treat her cows' pinkeye
😂🤣
That is very sweeet, I say go for it. 💐
Yes. We will all alibi you!
Do it! 😁
Also chamomile tea compresses. Worked great for my kids when they were little.
@Nard- opthamologist. No one should try to treat an eye ailment without medical advice.
Suggestion..not a diagnosis ;).
I hate to be that guy, but Justice Thomas spoke at The University of Texas at Austin, not the University of Austin (which is also a University here in Austin). It matters because, finally, we have an administration (President Jim Davis and Provost Will Imboden among the best) which is no longer afraid of its faculty and demonstrating real leadership in the state’s flagship university.
Wow, that would be good new, I will look into that. Any links laying this out?
That's good to hear about UT.
That IS good news!! Thank you!
Thank you, I had to double check that also to find out which university hosted him for the speech.
I thought “Otto von poopy head” was a reference to viktor orb-man and Fidesz’ absolutely blowout to tiszca In the Hungarian elections.
Going to Pakistan for trump would be a mistake. The security implications are horrendous. It’s a nightmare for dignitary protection.
I'd make them come to the White House myself. The danger isn't worth the trip and he's still got a lot of work to do here.
Yes, I think it would be very unsafe for President Trump to go to Pakistan. Like you said, they should come to the White House to sign the final agreement!
Like spying with FISA bill.
It's Trump's security in Pakistan that worries me. I wish he'd stay home.
I thought the same. Very unstable country. And full of Muslims.
Pakistan provided 5 security jets to protect the US delegation last weekend.
They provided 20 for the Iranian delegation.
It's almost as if they realized which country was the bigger threat to negotiators of the other country. Witness the Wash Po editorial calling for the murder of the Iranian negotiators if they didn't comply with US demands.
The hotel was surrounded with soldiers, also.
But obviously there is not going to be a settlement in one day. The US is not serious about a settlement.
Iran sent 5 teams of experts, including the foreign minister and the head of Parliament for the political talks. They sent the governor of the central bank and other financial experts to discuss the sanctions and their frozen assets. They sent military experts to discuss missile production. They sent security experts to talk about security guarantees, including for Lebanon and Yemen. They sent experts to talk about the nuclear issue.
The US sent the vice president and 2 New York real estate operators.
Mrs. RW
Looks like the Chief Justice is targeting the Trotskyites.
. He called progressivism “an existential threat” to America, compared it to totalitarianism and slaveholding, and explicitly called for resistance comparable to the original American Revolution. Fix bayonets! It was a declaration of war.
I have huge respect for Thomas, he SHOULD be Chief Justice.
Absolutely! Maybe Roberts will retire; wouldn’t that be sweet?
Powerful post and words. May we all take them to heart. Time for a tea party anyone?
County me in!!
Im doing some research on tax cases where people have not paid the illegitimate revenue service which funds illegal Somali daycares, among other things. If anyone has any resources, send them my way!
When did justice Thomas become the “Chief Justice”?
Today.
I was wondering the same
