Never Give Up

The silent majority are beginning to rise up. The silent majority is becoming less silent. They have been spectators so far to the battle that is going on. Some engage in the fight from the periphery, but are still spectators. They are not the target…yet. But they will be once the obstacle that is in their way…President Donald J Trump…is removed. But even if they succeed in dimming his message, others will step up.

Gag Orders

Gag orders issued in criminal cases and less often in civil cases, are supposedly done to control publicity and protect the right to a fair trial. Such orders are supposed to balance the right to a fair trial with the First Amendment free speech rights of the people being silenced.

Because courts have almost always overturned trial judges’ attempts to restrict the news media’s right to report on cases, gag orders typically apply to participants in a case. This is especially true today with the widespread use of social media. Citizen journalists abound and would be far more difficult to control.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith did the expected. We all knew this was coming. On Friday last week, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed previously hidden court filings revealing the DOJ’s request to silence Donald Trump via a judicial gag order [Read PDF Here].

Odds & Ends

A home run. I have to hand to the Biden administration. Never before in American history has every single appointment been someone that is both incompetent and with a passion to tear down and destroy the country.

The political class has lately produced an impressive string of debacles: the Afghanistan pullout, urban crime waves, easily foreseen inflation, mayhem at the southern border, a self-generated energy crisis, a pandemic response that wrought little good and vast ruin.

Then there are the perennial national embarrassments: a mind-bogglingly expensive welfare state that doesn’t work, public schools that make kids dumber, universities that nurture destructive grievances and noxious ideologies, and a news media nobody trusts.

Need I go on?

More signs that Biden is being encouraged to consider not being President much longer. NYC, a Democratic stronghold, has demanded that New York Gov. Hochul, a Democrat, sue President Joe Biden’s administration over the migrant and border crisis. Public actions like this against a President who is a member of your own party are rarely seen when a Democrat is in the Oval Office.

As expected, the FDA has approved a new series of COVID-19 “booster” vaccines which are immediately available for anyone who trusts the public health institutions of our government to be focused on your health and wellbeing. At this point, for everyone else a hard pass is recommended.

Most people know by now the Governor of New Mexico decided to ignore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. On Friday Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) used a public health order to ban firearms in Albuquerque. The move has generated widespread criticism from both Democrats and Republicans amid concerns that the order violates the Second Amendment.

There is a case that has been winding its way through the courts. It is Missouri, Louisiana, etc. vs Biden, et al. It is a First Amendment case where the states have claimed that the Biden administration totally violated the first amendment, by forcing and coercing social media and other organizations to ban speech, block opinion and censor information they determined was against their interests. In other words, the government was using private companies and enterprises to do what they are categorically prohibited from doing.

Twenty-two years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack on our soil in our history. Thousands of Americans, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children were murdered by Islamic terrorists when they flew passenger jets into buildings.

People like Barack Obama would probably criticize my saying Islamic terrorists. But that is who they were. And the truth has no agenda.

The Biden administration has again delayed the gender equity Title IX rule for school sports after intense grassroots opposition. This is a win for women’s sports and a win for those who have opposed allowing transgenders into women’s sports.
