I knew Jeff would clear things up for us, and keep us in a positive attitude. These clarifications from the SC are wins.
No matter what happens to that smug looking Lisa Cook at the Fed, Trump is working to replace that corrupt unconstitutional central bank and make it obsolete. Every "member" of that board are leeches on American citizens and serve zero purpose.
Trump will need to twist and break some arms in the Senate to get the SAVE Act passed. Replacing the Parlimentarian is also “Must Do”. Daylight is burning, so it’s time brutal measures.
The Parlimentarian doesn't even need to be replaced. Her opinions are not rulings, and the Senate Leader can ignore or overrule them. Since Thune refuses to exercise this authority, one must continue to wonder how nearsighted he is. Why will he not force the Democrat Senators to go on record voting against the SAVE Act, which even their own Democrat constituents favor by 80%?
That decision was a travesty. It completely ignored national security concerns, and the fact birthright citizenship was established solely to protect blacks. Moreover, the statement these babies were subject to our laws was ridiculous, as millions of them are only subject to Chinese laws. This decision was about hurting PDJT. Our constitution is not a suicide pact.
They just upheld Birthright Citizenship. 🤦🏼♀️ I can’t see an upside to allowing CCP to drop babies in the U.S. to then later return to the U.S. and run for president in say 35 years. Really looking forward to Jeff’s take on this
I’m so disgusted by this. I don’t care how much we try to be fair with scotus - they ARE compromised. They rule based on blackmail or their own safety or for political points. There is no way birthright citizenship was EVER meant to be what the deep state has turned it into - a self destructive weapon. I’m sickened today.
They have been comprised for a long time that’s why. The fact that we even know which side of the aisle they belong is proof enough they are all compromised in some form or another. This is sick. And for those saying Congress will have to fix this - we’ll self destruct first. Congress are useless turds also bought and paid for. We haven’t had real representation in this country for my entire lifetime…and longer!
Apparently there was some circuitous route to adopt those 2 kids which apparently are Irish, and the adoptions of Irish children to foreigners is extremely difficult.
At this point I feel if people suspect adoption shenanigans and then it’s confirmed now many years later what can be done? So I don’t buy that story. It’s already out there. He may just be a swamp creature like so many in Congress.
Just hearing this. After yesterday many expected this to come down today. I don't know how Jeff will help me accept this ruling. There is an entire industry built around birthright tourism, where the whole intent is to have foreigners give birth in America to take advantage of this stupidity.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule Tuesday in Trump v. Barbara, a high-stakes challenge to President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order that seeks to restrict automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders. In the event the court rules against Trump, a number of Congressional Republicans have legislation pending that could practically accomplish what a different ruling would have done.
"American citizenship is a priceless privilege that must be protected, not exploited. We must restore integrity to our immigration system, uphold the rule of law, and protect the value of American citizenship for generations to come," Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, told Just The News.
Several bills, most notably the Birthright Citizenship Act introduced by Babin and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., one day after Trump's inauguration in 2025 (and similar versions in recent Congresses), seek to end or sharply restrict automatic birthright citizenship by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
There are five SCOTUS rulings that to be a NATURAL BORN citizen, a requirement to run for president. Both parents must be citizens. Even the dissent did not mention being able to run for president, just that they could in future Cole and go here as they please and travel the world on a US passport. (This is also what Birthers got wrong about Obama - his father was not a citizen and thus he was unqualified to run for president)

My take is that after midterms, it WILL be made into Law via Congress because after becoming what they declared they would never be, (insert sarcastic laugh and massive eye roll here), the now new Communist Democratic party will cease to exist, and so will the power of the upholders of it.
And it will be up to the new NOT activist federal judges to uphold that LAW, not the SC.
Timing is everything Friend.
Also, as the saying goes, there is more than one way to, welp, you get the gist of that...cuz I don't wanna say it. I LOVE cats!!
I hope Jeff will also discuss NH District Judge Joseph Laplante's July 10, 2025 "setup" ruling that held that "unborn" children of illegal immigrants were being deprived of their "right" to citizenship on birth by Trump's executive order. Let's hear more about rights of the "unborn."
OK, here's the Cliff's Notes version: https://blog.12min.com/the-creature-from-jekyll-island-pdf/ As Thomas Jefferson said: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.”
Another tell-tale part of the story was the UTTER secrecy in which the meeting was conducted, suggesting they knew how the public would react to learning about what they were planning.
I’d have to drive there and would rather take my book to my patio and read after it’s delivered by the Prime driver. Being 81 years young has its privileges not to mention its limitations lol.
David, it is beastly everywhere in Florida…especially on my patio. I understand our comments get processed correctly if we can follow the lines back :)
I always check thriftbooks.com to see if i can get it used for a cheaper price. But yes it is long. I started it a while ago and it is still in my to read pile.
As far as a FEDERAL VOTER Registry database; simply set proper, thorough standards that states and territories must comply with and that are frequently audited with severe penalties meted out for abuse and noncompliance to properly uphold Citizen-Voter Rights. The States supposedly do this to all counties and precincts. Why amass a Federal system when administering 50 states and the territories from above would be simpler and Constitutional?
Based on a few similar verses, using Isaiah 12:2 as an example we find:
Isaiah 12:2 (KJV) Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
If you look at the Hebrew words used here, Jehovah (as the KJV translates it) is the word we know as Yahweh - יהוה. The word translated “salvation” is the Hebrew word Yeshuah - ישועה. Yeshua is Jesus’ Hebrew name. So if we substitute these names back into Isaiah 12:2, we have:
Isaiah 12:2 (KJV) Behold, God is my [Yeshuah]; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD [Yahweh] is my strength and my song; he also is become my [Yeshuah].
Yahweh having become my Yeshuah, and Yeshuah being the son of God, through the lens of Isaiah 12:2, your comment has some merit.
This is also why when Simeon sees young Jesus in Luke 2, he says:

Now I’m curious, what Sumerian texts refer to Yahweh as a son of God and is it something I can find on Internet Archive?
"The new Republican president faced an EPA stacked with Democrats, who would defy him and keep on doing cuckoo things like declaring rain puddles to be nationally protected wetlands and making it a felony to step in the mud. The president was powerless. Rinse and repeat, for each federal agency."

🏆 Congratulations on being the first poster 🏆 Hope you’re having a wonderful morning.
I’ve been up since about 4am so I can have my breakfast and coffee before starting yard work. By 8:00 here in NW Florida it’s like being roasted in an oven outside. We also have the luxury of being eaten alive by pesky bugs once we start sweating our bug repellent off 🤣😂🤣 It’s 9am and I’m already ready for my nap!
I think Janice was the first poster. But I was quick today! I am in the Houston area so I totally understand the heat, humidity and mosquitoes!🦟 With the Saharan dust out, I’m staying inside.
👋🏻🤓 We got our 90° week on the tail of an entire month of rainy June in the 60s and 70s. My 61st birthday was yesterday. I have forecasted the weather for June 29th successfully every single year for over 30 years after noticing that the prior 20 years always gave me a sunny and 80°+ day every birthday. Even if it rained for an hour it always opened up to clear sunny skies. Imagine my shock when I was certain this year would break my track record when yesterday bloomed into a high 80s sunny day. I spent it in my pool. 😎
Also, for 19 straight years, our first swim ranged from late March to Memorial Day. This is the very first year we were unable to swim until the end of June! 🤣 Such a weird thing. Pool owners notice these trends. Lol
Happy birthday, Juju! You’re right about pool owners noticing weather trends. We don’t have one anymore since we moved 10 years ago, but I still recall those trends.
In Trump v. Lisa Cook, I see a common sense respect of due process. Imagine if they had allowed Trump to fire cook based on being accused. What would prevent a future liberal president from firing ever conservative based on being accused of crazy stuff by unhinged liberals?
They would carry the accusations with no defense into the rest of their lives.
In Trump v Slaughter, they allow a President to fire at his pleasure, so when a liberal president fires conservatives, because politics, that’s a badge of honor.
They could carry that badge into private sector with pride.
It is only very recently that we as a people have realized that there IS stonewalling and sabotage from the Deep State.
Up until 2016, I think we assumed the bureaucracy backed the Executive, not really realizing the independent nature of the DS.
And at one time they probably did. In my lifetime the parties have become utterly estranged, until they are actually repelling each other like magnets. I don't see how we avoid bloodshed, I really don't.
I suspect the Trump Administration is WAY ahead of the ball on this mark. He has remade his agencies into nimble, mean and lean tools. Thanks to DOGE, AI, and now, accorded the ability to root out deep state operatives, there are millions of self-exposed people with targets on their backs.
Agreed. As Jeff pointed out, the facts in the case were that President Trump’s lawyers had already conceded that Cook could only be fired “for cause” and they alleged good cause. SCOTUS is required by the constitution (and it is a basic conservative principle) that decisions should be made based only on the facts in front of them. Those facts included the inconvenient fact that Trump’s lawyers had conceded that they needed to show cause, and they alleged mortgage fraud. Based on those narrow facts, they simply held Cook was entitled to defend herself. In future cases, there will be no “good cause” requirement and the President will just fire people at will. Sometimes that will cut for Republicans and sometimes for Democrats. I see no betrayal, just a conservative approach. While it may not have been wrong to hold that the Lisa Cook issue was moot in light of Slaughter, it was more “conservative” to decide the issue based on the facts of Cook’s case. I wouldn’t be surprised if the District Court let her put her defense in the record and held the issue was moot based on the Slaughter holding that no cause was necessary for the President to exercise his plenary power. Unless there’s an activist democrat district judge who holds there was no good cause. But what would stop Trump from firing her again for no reason, based on Slaughter? Maybe Trump will test the Slaughter vs Federal Reserve “carve out” by firing Jerome Powell from the Fed Board Powell stayed on just to be a thorn in Trump’s side.
Lucky to be here amongst the wonderful people of C&C. I hope everyone here has a good day and takes time to appreciate the life God has bestowed upon them. We are all blessed in many ways. The trick is not to take our blessings for granted.
🦋There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.🦋
It may be as simple that a smile and hello to someone lifts their day. I often find people, especially seniors out and about alone, desiring a few words to acknowledge their worth and presence.
Stop and say hello to people; greet them in stores or on the street with a few friendly words of conversation. (Hmm … I wonder if that would work in Portland? 😉)
Much of this began when the leftist media was allowed to post and or publish conservative justices addresses. The system broke down when a trans activist threatened and then went after SC Justice Kavanaugh at his house, and then Biden and Merrick Garland illegally allowed left wing activist protestors go to Amy Coney Barrett’s home and threaten her and her kids. From that point forward making decisions for Barrett on the basis of the founders intent was over. Well those threats have certainly continued to affect her, she stabbed us in the back again voting to allow election month not Election Day. You know 85% of the people want voter ID and clean elections but yet we have a legislature that won’t act and coerced unelected people in black robes making these critical decisions!
Even during the Civil War only ballets that made it on the day of election were counted. And how is ballot harvesting ok or people allowed to write on the envelope the day they mailed it looked at as acceptable? Like in California, they just extend the counting until it produces the desired left wing outcome.
This is completely delegitimizing elections to the point where conservatives need not vote in leftist blue states.
Coerced Barrett never fails to disappoint. Not looking forward to her going along with the commies on birth right citizenship. The knife marks in my back are adding up. I wish she’d resign now!
It seems to me, the problem lies with the Senate. The House has passed at least 3 versions of the SAVE Act that the Senate Majority leader refuses to bring to a floor vote. Numerous remedies have been suggested, but Thune refuses them all, and when things get to the boiling point, he issues a recess and sends everyone home. Never has the Uniparty and the Good Old Boys Club been more apparent than in the month’s long stall of the SAVE Act. One giant finger held up to the American public, saying we care not at all what Americans want. We are the visible prongs of The Deep State.
I highly doubt the Senate will come through. They were waiting to see which way the SCOTUS wind blew. I doubt this will prod Thune to do anything. Let’s see, Thune is not up for re-election. McConnell and Tillis are done after the Midterms. Collins is the only hope for a Republican coming out blue Maine. Someone supports her with big money. Murkowski has Alaska oil money behind her. As long as Thune keeps stalling and McConnell and Tillis can project as much hurt on the present administration for the next 5 months, they will do so.
Add that to today’s ruling on the Birthright question and we seem to be screwed, effectively, by our own SCOTUS.
I did and then I listened to it. I agree the senate needs to act. It seems to come down to an issue of mail in ballots and the term Election Day. The court has allowed states to accept what left wing state legislatures decide. So you get California type elections. California decided to let people write on their envelope what day they sent it. Post marks are changed simply. Remember the videos of election officials pulling out suitcases of ballets at 2 in the morning. Or how about a semi truckload of ballets being transferred from New York to Pennsylvania and the whole truckload of votes disappeared probably counted in Pennsylvania. There were more votes than voters. Well the Supreme Court wouldn’t take those cases, so why did they take this case? Why didn’t they just say it’s a legislative issue? Their ruling is again kicking the can down the road and Novembers coming. Were the 4 dissenting judges Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh misinformed? Mail in ballots are a recipe for stolen elections. This has been tried in many countries and eliminated quickly because it welcomes fraud. For me it’s a huge question of custody of the ballots. Are postal workers considered certified election officials. I remember a story of a postal worker throwing hundreds of ballots out in the woods. It’s a disgrace the Supreme Court threw this chance to fix some of these corruptions back to Thune and the senate.
I remember driving past the Post Office on April 15th with a line of cars waiting to drop off their tax return so it could get postmarked before midnight...
Jeff, I have no idea how you manage to turn out these gems daily while continuing to practice. But keep turning them out, please. My morning is made when your email hits my box
Jeff, after these SCOTUS decisions and as we approach Independence Day entering the second half of President Trump’s Year Of Action - one thing has become imminently clear - PRESIDENT TRUMP AIN’T NO LAME DUCK AND HE’S ABOUT TO GO FULL HONEY BADGER! To dumocrats - buckle up buttercup!
Great post, Jeff. Thank you. Ninety one years we've been under the deep state's fiat. How absolutely liberating. I hope President Trump will take immediate action. PULL THAT PLUG! PULL THAT PLUG! And how encouraging to note that the Cook decision was basically just a precedural issue. Go ahead, Lisa... defend yourself! And the Watson decision... well.... PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. The next Democrat president can be expected to use the new power to fire these people to the full -- firing everyone even suspected of once having harbored a non-Far Left thought.
The real message here from the Supreme Court is the 800-pound gorilla in the corner of the room that no-one wants to talk about -- the absolute institutional worthlessness of Congress, which for decades has consistently failed to represent the American People while filling their own pockets. Until We the People completely reform that damaging body we will be condemned to endure rule by unrepresentative minority views. Sadly, it is hard to see how Congress can be reformed before those foolish people drive the country off the cliff. Congress has failed!
Thankfully I can’t see democrats getting back power in 2028 with their running straight into communist arms. I wonder if the deep state saw that coming or not? We very well may have four more years of gutting the deep state out of our Congress even if we lose the midterms.
Yes, defanging the agencies will force Congress to legislate as the Constitution enabled. They can no longer pass the buck and hide. If Congress doesn’t want to legislate they can either shut up, or people can elect new Reps who will.
I knew Jeff would clear things up for us, and keep us in a positive attitude. These clarifications from the SC are wins.

Because Thune has never been a Republican. He rAn as a Conservative, but he has always been a RAT.
McConnell too.
Exactly…..add Murkowski and Collins.
Others have been primaried and lost their jobs, thankfully.
Hopefully, he’ll be gone to the graveyard soon enough.
And today’s rulings can wait until Jeff discusses tomorrow.
I hope he can talk me off the bridge regarding birthright citizenship.
Me too. Something needs to change with this antiquated amendment.
"
"under the jurisdiction of" is pretty clear. The amendment isn't the problem.
Yeah, this pissed me off. The interpretation is wrong.
That decision was a travesty. It completely ignored national security concerns, and the fact birthright citizenship was established solely to protect blacks. Moreover, the statement these babies were subject to our laws was ridiculous, as millions of them are only subject to Chinese laws. This decision was about hurting PDJT. Our constitution is not a suicide pact.
And doesn’t JD Vance have power to overrule Thune?
I do not know the Senate procedures and politics behind not replacing Thune as majority leader. Thune clearly is blocking Trump at every turn.
Remember...Thune is nothing but a McConnell acolyte.
That I do not know. I've seen that claim, but not a statute or law to back it.
Does the VEEP's roll in the Senate extend beyond vote tie-breaking and chairing the certification of Presidential election counts?
We accept your terms ;)
They just upheld Birthright Citizenship. 🤦🏼♀️ I can’t see an upside to allowing CCP to drop babies in the U.S. to then later return to the U.S. and run for president in say 35 years. Really looking forward to Jeff’s take on this

Original intent for the 14th amendment is so clear, I can’t see why SCOTUS would ignore it.

Lots of suspicion around the adoption of Robert's two kids.
Many feel it was illegal.
What I don’t get is how that’s adoption to legal citizen parents, whereas anchor babies are an entirely different issue. Is Barret conflating the two?
Re: Barrett...I always joke and ask if she bought those 2 Haitian kids from the Clintons.
Apparently there was some circuitous route to adopt those 2 kids which apparently are Irish, and the adoptions of Irish children to foreigners is extremely difficult.
At this point I feel if people suspect adoption shenanigans and then it’s confirmed now many years later what can be done? So I don’t buy that story. It’s already out there. He may just be a swamp creature like so many in Congress.

We just said the same thing.
I’m waiting for that, too. If there aren’t nuances, this was a bad decision.
Those unfamiliar with the "Federal" Reserve should read: https://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/091298645X
Its $30. Is it really worth that? Also, 608 pages is incredibly long....does it keep up the pace or do we fall to into slogging through boredom?
OK, here's the Cliff's Notes version: https://blog.12min.com/the-creature-from-jekyll-island-pdf/ As Thomas Jefferson said: “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency first by inflation then by deflation the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...

Another tell-tale part of the story was the UTTER secrecy in which the meeting was conducted, suggesting they knew how the public would react to learning about what they were planning.
The debates over the Federal Reserve also affected the 1912 Presidential election that gave us Woodrow Wilson instead of reelecting Taft.
My son recommended this to us and said we needed to read it. I’ll take his word for it and ordered it.
You can likely get it at a local library or through interlibrary loan and read the parts that don't bore you.
I’d have to drive there and would rather take my book to my patio and read after it’s delivered by the Prime driver. Being 81 years young has its privileges not to mention its limitations lol.
Oma, you weren't particularly the one I had in mind... ;^) Hope your weather's not going to be beastly on the patio.
David, it is beastly everywhere in Florida…especially on my patio. I understand our comments get processed correctly if we can follow the lines back :)

The author gave a one hour & 45 minute speech available on YouTube that sums up his main points. It’s worth a watch.

That was excellent!
Every US citizen needs to know the truth about the Federal Reserve. This book delivers. See if there are any used books available on Amazon.

Plus who uses Amazon, other than moderates and progressives?
Thanks for that link - I'm definitely ordering that book!
As far as a FEDERAL VOTER Registry database; simply set proper, thorough standards that states and territories must comply with and that are frequently audited with severe penalties meted out for abuse and noncompliance to properly uphold Citizen-Voter Rights. The States supposedly do this to all counties and precincts. Why amass a Federal system when administering 50 states and the territories from above would be simpler and Constitutional?
✝️✝️✝️
How numerous are Your works, O Yahweh!
In wisdom You have made them all;
The earth is full of Your possessions.
— Psalm 104:24 LSB
✝️✝️✝️
Sumerian literature before the bible refers to Yahweh as one of the "Sons of God".
History began at Sumer with Cuneiform.
And Who created the Sumerians, Bard? YHWH.
Honest question Bard. Who do you say is Jesus Christ?
Jesus is God in the Flesh! 1 John 4:1-3
Ask a Sumerian.
The source.
Cause and effect go right out the window.
Cause and effect is a human construct to support science linear thinking.
God is everywhere.
Or the Indus Valley but the rising seas took out their cities and they had to move inland again and again.
Plural "sons" is important.
Honest question Bard. Who do you say Jesus Christ is?
That goes back to the 5th century schism about the human nature of Christ.
Based on a few similar verses, using Isaiah 12:2 as an example we find:
Isaiah 12:2 (KJV) Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Now I’m curious, what Sumerian texts refer to Yahweh as a son of God and is it something I can find on Internet Archive?
"History began..."
Right where infinity ended.
IOW, what a ridiculous thing to say. But then, that IS your speciality.
See the new best seller The Jesus Discoveries by PhD Jeremiah Johnston. He uses historical artifacts and secular documents to PROVE the
resurrection of Christ.
Good luck.
Any examples?
"The new Republican president faced an EPA stacked with Democrats, who would defy him and keep on doing cuckoo things like declaring rain puddles to be nationally protected wetlands and making it a felony to step in the mud. The president was powerless. Rinse and repeat, for each federal agency."
... OR ... In Newberryport, Massachusetts, no American flags on the 4th of July because they might endanger birds.
(Massachusetts could give many lessons to Portland)
Do they flay any flags any other days?
Were they willing to let birds be harmed for "pride" flags?
Excellent question !
Flag 'flaying' is unpatriotic me tinks ;-)
Perfect timing. My coffee is ready! Morning everyone!
🏆 Congratulations on being the first poster 🏆 Hope you’re having a wonderful morning.
I’ve been up since about 4am so I can have my breakfast and coffee before starting yard work. By 8:00 here in NW Florida it’s like being roasted in an oven outside. We also have the luxury of being eaten alive by pesky bugs once we start sweating our bug repellent off 🤣😂🤣 It’s 9am and I’m already ready for my nap!
I think Janice was the first poster. But I was quick today! I am in the Houston area so I totally understand the heat, humidity and mosquitoes!🦟 With the Saharan dust out, I’m staying inside.
I thought you were going to say being eaten alive by alligators!
We, in Florida, could truly heat our leftover pizza on the driveway!!
Happy steamy sunny Tuesday everyone! 👋🏻😎
👋🏻🤓 We got our 90° week on the tail of an entire month of rainy June in the 60s and 70s. My 61st birthday was yesterday. I have forecasted the weather for June 29th successfully every single year for over 30 years after noticing that the prior 20 years always gave me a sunny and 80°+ day every birthday. Even if it rained for an hour it always opened up to clear sunny skies. Imagine my shock when I was certain this year would break my track record when yesterday bloomed into a high 80s sunny day. I spent it in my pool. 😎
Also, for 19 straight years, our first swim ranged from late March to Memorial Day. This is the very first year we were unable to swim until the end of June! 🤣 Such a weird thing. Pool owners notice these trends. Lol
Happy belated birthday, Juju!
❤️💃
Happy birthday! My 63rd is on July 13th.
Happy happy birthday Juju!!!!!
Thank you 😊
Happy birthday, Juju! You’re right about pool owners noticing weather trends. We don’t have one anymore since we moved 10 years ago, but I still recall those trends.
Happy damp, misty, cloudy Tuesday! 🤣😂🤣
Mrs. "the Knife"
It's cool, foggy and gray here on the Pacific coast; only 57°.
It is 54 degrees in our area of the Puget Sound. It is a pleasant change from the 80s and 90s of the last couple of weeks.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Sounds lovely
Beautiful day in the Black Hills of SD. Sunny and will reach 73 degrees today.😁
73 degrees sounds heavenly. East coast is roasting right now and it will get worse as the week goes on.
My friends have been warning me, Kathleen. And my husband and I move back, permanently, to NC this September.
In Trump v. Lisa Cook, I see a common sense respect of due process. Imagine if they had allowed Trump to fire cook based on being accused. What would prevent a future liberal president from firing ever conservative based on being accused of crazy stuff by unhinged liberals?
They would carry the accusations with no defense into the rest of their lives.
In Trump v Slaughter, they allow a President to fire at his pleasure, so when a liberal president fires conservatives, because politics, that’s a badge of honor.
They could carry that badge into private sector with pride.
Very well played SCOTUS.
I understand the sentiment but every policy level position in the Executive should be at will to minimize stonewalling and sabotage.
It is only very recently that we as a people have realized that there IS stonewalling and sabotage from the Deep State.
Up until 2016, I think we assumed the bureaucracy backed the Executive, not really realizing the independent nature of the DS.
And at one time they probably did. In my lifetime the parties have become utterly estranged, until they are actually repelling each other like magnets. I don't see how we avoid bloodshed, I really don't.
I suspect the Trump Administration is WAY ahead of the ball on this mark. He has remade his agencies into nimble, mean and lean tools. Thanks to DOGE, AI, and now, accorded the ability to root out deep state operatives, there are millions of self-exposed people with targets on their backs.
When the CIA blew off JFK's head in the middle of the day, in the middle of town square, it gave us a hint that the Deep State was out of control.
There was some blood shed.
Mrs. RW
Actually Dallas showed that the Deep State was in control.
Terrorized & demoralized the entire nation.
It’s not been the same country since.
Tried again at Butler, PA.
Many feel that 9/11 was the point of no return, but I believe Dallas was the turning point for our demise.
Agreed. As Jeff pointed out, the facts in the case were that President Trump’s lawyers had already conceded that Cook could only be fired “for cause” and they alleged good cause. SCOTUS is required by the constitution (and it is a basic conservative principle) that decisions should be made based only on the facts in front of them. Those facts included the inconvenient fact that Trump’s lawyers had conceded that they needed to show cause, and they alleged mortgage fraud. Based on those narrow facts, they simply held Cook was entitled to defend herself. In future cases, there will be no “good cause” requirement and the President will just fire people at will. Sometimes that will cut for Republicans and sometimes for Democrats. I see no betrayal, just a conservative approach. While it may not have been wrong to hold that the Lisa Cook issue was moot in light of Slaughter, it was more “conservative” to decide the issue based on the facts of Cook’s case. I wouldn’t be surprised if the District Court let her put her defense in the record and held the issue was moot based on the Slaughter holding that no cause was necessary for the President to exercise his plenary power. Unless there’s an activist democrat district judge who holds there was no good cause. But what would stop Trump from firing her again for no reason, based on Slaughter? Maybe Trump will test the Slaughter vs Federal Reserve “carve out” by firing Jerome Powell from the Fed Board Powell stayed on just to be a thorn in Trump’s side.
I am so grateful each day for Jeff's concise analysis of events that are typically far beyond the scope of my layman's understanding!
Oh gosh me too. I read headlines and think, “I’ll see if C&C have anything to say about that”.
❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️🌷❤️
Good morning,
Lucky to be here amongst the wonderful people of C&C. I hope everyone here has a good day and takes time to appreciate the life God has bestowed upon them. We are all blessed in many ways. The trick is not to take our blessings for granted.
🦋There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.🦋

It may be as simple that a smile and hello to someone lifts their day. I often find people, especially seniors out and about alone, desiring a few words to acknowledge their worth and presence.
Stop and say hello to people; greet them in stores or on the street with a few friendly words of conversation. (Hmm … I wonder if that would work in Portland? 😉)
Much of this began when the leftist media was allowed to post and or publish conservative justices addresses. The system broke down when a trans activist threatened and then went after SC Justice Kavanaugh at his house, and then Biden and Merrick Garland illegally allowed left wing activist protestors go to Amy Coney Barrett’s home and threaten her and her kids. From that point forward making decisions for Barrett on the basis of the founders intent was over. Well those threats have certainly continued to affect her, she stabbed us in the back again voting to allow election month not Election Day. You know 85% of the people want voter ID and clean elections but yet we have a legislature that won’t act and coerced unelected people in black robes making these critical decisions!
Even during the Civil War only ballets that made it on the day of election were counted. And how is ballot harvesting ok or people allowed to write on the envelope the day they mailed it looked at as acceptable? Like in California, they just extend the counting until it produces the desired left wing outcome.
This is completely delegitimizing elections to the point where conservatives need not vote in leftist blue states.
Coerced Barrett never fails to disappoint. Not looking forward to her going along with the commies on birth right citizenship. The knife marks in my back are adding up. I wish she’d resign now!
It seems to me, the problem lies with the Senate. The House has passed at least 3 versions of the SAVE Act that the Senate Majority leader refuses to bring to a floor vote. Numerous remedies have been suggested, but Thune refuses them all, and when things get to the boiling point, he issues a recess and sends everyone home. Never has the Uniparty and the Good Old Boys Club been more apparent than in the month’s long stall of the SAVE Act. One giant finger held up to the American public, saying we care not at all what Americans want. We are the visible prongs of The Deep State.
I highly doubt the Senate will come through. They were waiting to see which way the SCOTUS wind blew. I doubt this will prod Thune to do anything. Let’s see, Thune is not up for re-election. McConnell and Tillis are done after the Midterms. Collins is the only hope for a Republican coming out blue Maine. Someone supports her with big money. Murkowski has Alaska oil money behind her. As long as Thune keeps stalling and McConnell and Tillis can project as much hurt on the present administration for the next 5 months, they will do so.
Add that to today’s ruling on the Birthright question and we seem to be screwed, effectively, by our own SCOTUS.

You may feel better if you (re)read Jeff’s post.
Did you not read Jeff's post?
I did and I listened to it
Did you write this before reading Jeff's take? Sounds like it.
I did and then I listened to it. I agree the senate needs to act. It seems to come down to an issue of mail in ballots and the term Election Day. The court has allowed states to accept what left wing state legislatures decide. So you get California type elections. California decided to let people write on their envelope what day they sent it. Post marks are changed simply. Remember the videos of election officials pulling out suitcases of ballets at 2 in the morning. Or how about a semi truckload of ballets being transferred from New York to Pennsylvania and the whole truckload of votes disappeared probably counted in Pennsylvania. There were more votes than voters. Well the Supreme Court wouldn’t take those cases, so why did they take this case? Why didn’t they just say it’s a legislative issue? Their ruling is again kicking the can down the road and Novembers coming. Were the 4 dissenting judges Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh misinformed? Mail in ballots are a recipe for stolen elections. This has been tried in many countries and eliminated quickly because it welcomes fraud. For me it’s a huge question of custody of the ballots. Are postal workers considered certified election officials. I remember a story of a postal worker throwing hundreds of ballots out in the woods. It’s a disgrace the Supreme Court threw this chance to fix some of these corruptions back to Thune and the senate.
Too bad credit card companies don't allow us to pay our bills 3 days after the due date.
Yes how about income tax “day”?
No kidding. Interest and penalties start to add up 30 seconds after midnight on the filing deadline.
Don’t I know that!!
I remember driving past the Post Office on April 15th with a line of cars waiting to drop off their tax return so it could get postmarked before midnight...
Look into the movement to legally not pay taxes.
Good morning, c&c!! Thank you, Jeff for such a fab post yesterday!! Have caffeine, will travel!
Jeff, I have no idea how you manage to turn out these gems daily while continuing to practice. But keep turning them out, please. My morning is made when your email hits my box
Jeff, after these SCOTUS decisions and as we approach Independence Day entering the second half of President Trump’s Year Of Action - one thing has become imminently clear - PRESIDENT TRUMP AIN’T NO LAME DUCK AND HE’S ABOUT TO GO FULL HONEY BADGER! To dumocrats - buckle up buttercup!
Honey badger don't play! 😀
😆🇺🇸
YEESSS
"But that ninja-like common sense had managed to evade judicial cerebellums ever since the 1930’s New Deal.".......
When FDR flooded the government with immigrant Trotskyites. Biden immigration was nothing compared with the Commies takeover under FDR.
Trotkyites housed in the 100 New Deal Agencies.
Great post, Jeff. Thank you. Ninety one years we've been under the deep state's fiat. How absolutely liberating. I hope President Trump will take immediate action. PULL THAT PLUG! PULL THAT PLUG! And how encouraging to note that the Cook decision was basically just a precedural issue. Go ahead, Lisa... defend yourself! And the Watson decision... well.... PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!
Once Trump starts the agency firings and rehires, we are going to be subject to more ‘No Kings’ protests. Which I accept!
Good morning, happy hot hump day! 🤣
Now stop that! It took me all day yesterday to realize it wasn’t Tuesday 🤣
We butchered a fowl yesterday in that heat. It was very unpleasant. 🤣
I "liked" this, but ... 👀
I woke up today thinking it was Saturday, but I’ve been retired for years!
I have to check the date on my pill container to know what day it is.
It's not Tuesday?
No joke! Nearing triple digits this week! 🥵
Gonna be brutal this week in the Northeast.
Hope our power grid holds up. Especially with all those data centers in your neck of the woods.
Hot, yes. I had to check the calendar, lol.
I thought that was tomorrow? Wednesday?
I'm practicing for tomorrow 😉🤣
Bye, bye June 🥹🇺🇸
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. The next Democrat president can be expected to use the new power to fire these people to the full -- firing everyone even suspected of once having harbored a non-Far Left thought.
The real message here from the Supreme Court is the 800-pound gorilla in the corner of the room that no-one wants to talk about -- the absolute institutional worthlessness of Congress, which for decades has consistently failed to represent the American People while filling their own pockets. Until We the People completely reform that damaging body we will be condemned to endure rule by unrepresentative minority views. Sadly, it is hard to see how Congress can be reformed before those foolish people drive the country off the cliff. Congress has failed!
Thankfully I can’t see democrats getting back power in 2028 with their running straight into communist arms. I wonder if the deep state saw that coming or not? We very well may have four more years of gutting the deep state out of our Congress even if we lose the midterms.
Yes, defanging the agencies will force Congress to legislate as the Constitution enabled. They can no longer pass the buck and hide. If Congress doesn’t want to legislate they can either shut up, or people can elect new Reps who will.
