Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was voted on by Congress; by a majority of its members; and passed so that it could be voted on by a majority of Americans to pass safeguards to the U.S. Constitution. No justice in any court has a right to disallow the will of the majority of federal legislators and states full of citizens because to exercise the will of those people is inconvenient for their politics.
American men and women died during the Civil War to defend the U.S.A. Constitution. That sacrifice cannot be ignored by extremists sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
By the way, the Supreme Court’s radical right wing is a vehicle to destroy this democracy of which those Justices will never rule again in their oath of office should an insurrectionist become president!

What a mess this is. There is no conscience as to the well being of all Americans. It is a problem.
By Joseph Konig
Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, (click here) the chair of the Senate Judiciary committee, called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from weighing in on whether former President Donald Trump can be removed from states’ 2024 ballots for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The nation’s highest court is expected to hear arguments on Thursday in the case, which centers on the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove the GOP frontrunner from their state’s primary ballot. The state court ruled Trump ineligible based on the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause, a Civil War-era provision that bars those who took an oath of office as a U.S. official from federal office for participating in a rebellion or insurrection.
Durbin argued the involvement of Thomas’ wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, in the effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 presidential election loss creates a conflict of interest for the justice....

Nothing will ever be enough. If the Republicans actually passed a bill, the politics would be over.
By Stephen Groves and Mary Clare Jalonick
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans (click here) blocked a bipartisan border package Wednesday, scuttling months of negotiations with Democrats on legislation intended to cut back record numbers of illegal border crossings.
Many Republicans said the election-year compromise wasn’t enough, even as supporters of the bill insisted it was the best possible in divided government.
The 49-50 vote, far short of the 60 ayes needed to take up the bill, came after most Republicans said they would vote against the legislation, which also includes $60 billion in wartime aid to Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel and was backed by President Joe Biden. GOP lawmakers had insisted that the money for conflicts abroad be paired with help for the U.S. border....

RICO - The evidence stands on it's own.
On August 14, 2023, (click here) a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury indicted Donald Trump on 13 counts of criminal felonies. The charges revolve around Trump’s and 18 co-defendants’ efforts to overturn the will of the voters and interfere with the results of the 2020 presidential election.
On August 24, 2023, Donald Trump surrendered at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia. As part of his release, he agreed to a $200,000 bond and certain release terms, including agreeing not to use social media to target or harass his co-defendants or witnesses who might appear in the criminal proceedings.
All 19 defendants, including Trump, are charged with criminal racketeering under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which ties together individual criminal acts into a broader criminal network and conspiracy.
The grand jury heard from many witnesses, including state officials who were asked by Trump and his allies to help overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Fox News (click here) agreed Tuesday to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election.
The stunning settlement emerged just as opening statements were supposed to begin, abruptly ending a case that had embarrassed Fox News over several months and raised the possibility that network founder Rupert Murdoch and stars such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity would have to testify publicly.
“The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson told reporters outside a Delaware courthouse after Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced the deal....

WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Rudy Giuliani (click here) must pay more than $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers he defamed through false accusations that they helped rig the 2020 election against Donald Trump, a jury decided on Friday.

FCC
It is time for the Federal Communication Commission to monitor the blatant lies in some media services (click here). According to the Newsweek article a woman with the convoy that went to the USA southern border found the conditions at the border were not as bad as she thought.
Ya know, infotainment is causing Americans a lot of stress in broadcasting blatant lies. No American needs more stress in relation to their own personal safety and the safety of their family members.
The USA has been experiencing a booming labor market. Wages have kept up with inflation and in most instances show a small margin increase over inflation. In the last year inflation is far less than the year before.
Personally, a private industry job I work increased my pay 28 percent as a retention issue. I never asked for it and it is not union. Then management opened the number of hours worked to be decided by the individual while holding the line on hours required to work.
President Joe Biden has conducted a magnificent return of the USA following a very volatile and deadly presidency preceding him. His job rating on the economy should be substantially better than it is. Additionally, President Biden and the Secretary of Defense never treated the USA military capacity as muscle bound. The use of our military has been more than appropriate in addressing genocide, potential threats to NATO, showing strength in the Pacific, and being a strong ally to Israel.
The FCC needs to apply power in ensuring the American people are protected from the extreme right wing media that is completely out of control. The caravan of concerned Americans traveling to the southern USA border is uninformed and upset as well as being armed. The FCC is not doing its job and allowing frank and dangerous lies to cause such dangerous actions by Americans that sincerely love their country, but, have media full of misinformation and misdirection in reporting.
It is profitable to be conjuring up lies, but, that is also illegal. Infotainment is false advertising and Americans don’t realize it.

Stop killing Americans
(click here)
This attack was empowered by Iranian weapons purchased by terrorists. Iran supports terrorists and no matter how much Iran wants to deny the decisions to attack Americans, Iran facilitates terrorists. Iran gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
This attack also took place on Jordanian soil. Jordan is an American ally. The USA would have responded anyway regardless of who was murdered by Iranian facilitated terrorists.

Phil has predicted an early spring.
He is correct!
Winter is over. Absolutely, it is.
This temperature map on February 2nd is pathetic. February is usually brutally cold. There is not one place in the USA experiencing single digit temperatures.
Snow cove is even more pathetic. Where it exists it is melting.

Elon Musk has gone too far.
His Neurolink is a national security issue. He is creating androids and there is no guarantee this technology is secure. If our enemies get their hands on it as we know they will there is no way to know where this will stop.

Iran should never be this hateful.
By John Bacon
Iran on Monday (click here) denied involvement in the weekend attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three Americans, saying militant groups in the region do not take orders from Tehran and that Iran "does not welcome the expansion of conflicts in the region."
But Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani accused the U.S. of repeatedly violating the sovereignty of Iraq and Syria and said the military strikes on militant groups in Iraq, Syria and Yemen will "escalate the cycle of instability."
“Repeating the unfounded allegations against Iran is shifting of the blame," said Kanaani, dismissing the accusations as a "plot by those who see their interests in once again getting the U.S. involved in a new conflict in the region and provoke it to expand and escalate the crisis.”...

...Nevertheless, (click here) it is known that a number of groups across the region have received Iranian support.
Some of these - like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis - have been discussed in detail in other Sky News stories, but others are less well known.
Islamic Resistance in Iraq
Responsibility for the deadly attack on US forces over the weekend was claimed by Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella term used by a number of Iran-backed groups in Iraq....

Dubai - Commanders from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) (click here) and Lebanon's Hezbollah group are on the ground in Yemen helping to direct and oversee Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, four regional and two Iranian sources told Reuters.
Iran - which has armed, trained and funded the Houthis - stepped up its weapons supplies to the militia in the wake of the war in Gaza, which erupted after Iranian-backed militants Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, the four regional sources said.
IRGC commanders and advisers are also providing know-how, data and intelligence support to determine which of the dozens of vessels travelling through the Red Sea each day are destined for Israel and constitute Houthi targets, all the sources said....

Texas border with Mexico
Trump is really getting off on Texas’ secession movement at the border. He should run for president of Texas since he does not care his majority Supreme Court upheld the federal statues regarding the USA contiguous border and removing barbed wire.
Honestly. Trump hates this country and wants to destroy it because he could never live by the rules and was crushed by his own corrupted business model over and over.
Trump is about retaliation. Nothing else. He will destroy the country to get it.
I remind…
Aid for Palestine
This is difficult to state because I have believed in the United Nations mission for a very long time, but, the corruption within the organization is profound. There needs to be a change in leadership and quite frankly the only country that can carry out investigations and prosecutions is the USA. The UN Headquarters, while is has special standing due to its diplomatic purposes, is on USA soil.
The next General Secretary of the United Nations must come from the USA and be given the power of investigation and prosecution. Nothing else is going to clean up the mess. Until that occurs agencies within the UN must end relationships (ie: contacts) with independent organizations of all kinds. Travel, aid distribution, and all expenditures including spending accounts for employees must be handled internally. Inspector Generals from member countries will provide monitoring of all activities involving the movement of aid and monies with quarterly reports to the UN Security Council.
Change in the organization must occur in order to secure its continued operation in the manner originally set down in the charter.
Realizing outside agencies that are supposed to serve a benevolent purpose are actually channeling monies to terrorists is astounding.
Additionally, there is evidence that the terrorist activities with PayPal are using cyber access that appears to be sovereign in its power to remove monies from accounts without a trace. There is reason to believe this is a group of India nationalists based in California.
All these nefarious cyber activities must stop and civilization preserved. The kind of power witnessed with high levels of cyber competency and assaultive purposes, in my opinion, is an act of terrorism and/or war. I remind there was an assassination of a Sikh activist in Canada and the cyber assaults on financial institutions such as PayPal may be related.
Regardless, “Untied Nations” is a real entity operating within the structure of the United Nations that seduces people and takes their money. It is covertly operating as an exclusive travel agency to the UN. How convenient to have such power and access. The existence of this entity proves there are terrorists within the UN that must be dealt with and removed from assess of highly powerful cyber connections. It is ridiculous to think figure head leaders, including the UN Generals are not aware of these dangers. They are an arm of violence in the world. There should be no sympathy for those so willing to kill.
All these activities within the USA and internationally must stop. The disease of terrorism within the free world must end.
