New Bill Allows State to Ignore Joe Biden’s Executive Orders

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Lawmakers in North Dakota — where consumers can sue Big Tech and a judge recently exempted religious physicians from doing Obamacare “sex change” operations — are proposing a law allowing the state to ignore presidential executive orders if they don’t meet constitutional muster.

House Bill 1164, introduced for the 2021 session, says the “legislative management may review any executive order issued by the president of the United States which has not been affirmed by a vote of the Congress of the United States and signed into law as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States and recommend to the attorney general and the governor that the executive order be further reviewed.”

It also allows for a review of an executive order by the attorney general “to determine the constitutionality of the order and whether the state should seek an exemption from the application of the order or seek to have the order declared to be an unconstitutional exercise of legislative authority by the president.”

It states that “political subdivision” can implement such an order “that restricts a person’s rights or that the attorney general determines to be unconstitutional under subsection 1 and which relates to: a. pandemics or other health emergencies; b. the regulation of natural resources, including coal and oil; c. the regulation of the agriculture industry; d. the use of land; 3. The regulation of the financial sector… or; f. the regulation of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.” (Read more from “New Bill Allows State to Ignore Joe Biden’s Executive Orders” HERE)

Democrats Are Now Claiming Voting-Machine Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

A judge in New York on Friday rejected Democrats’ claims that voting machine irregularities undercounted hundreds of votes for Rep. Ted Brindisi, a decision that means Republican challenger Claudia Tenney will be certified the winner of the election.

Lawyers for Brindisi had called for a hand recount of the 325,000-plus votes cast in the House race, arguing that irregularities with voting machines used in Oswego County had undercounted hundreds or thousands of votes for Brindisi.

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic election lawyer, made the claim about the voting machines in a court filing on Monday. Republicans were widely criticized following the presidential election for claiming that voting machines switched votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

Elias is best known for his role in commissioning the infamous Steele dossier during the 2016 election. Elias hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, which his firm, Perkins Coie, jointly represented.

In a decision handed down on Friday afternoon, Supreme Court Judge Scott J. DelConte rejected Elias’s claims. He directed the New York state board of elections to certify the results of the 22nd district vote. (Read more from “Democrats Are Now Claiming Voting-Machine Fraud” HERE)

Supreme Court Pushback on California Should Be Just the Start of Courts Standing up Against Endless Lockdowns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Like numerous judges across the country for the past year, some justices on the U.S. Supreme Court appear unable to put aside their political views and question the legality of lockdown orders. That’s apparent in last week’s late-night decision in the ongoing battle between California’s churches and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The order arose after Newsom ignored the Supreme Court’s prior decision that found bans on indoor worshipping to violate the First Amendment.

Just one week after the Supreme Court issued that decision, Newsom’s government issued a regional “stay at home” order that again banned all indoor church services during a sacred holiday season, but let grocery stores and large retailers like Costco and Best Buy stay open inside at 25 percent capacity. The order showed a shocking disregard for the law, particularly during the Holy Season and especially for a governor that has demanded complete fealty to his orders.

California must have known that it would be hauled back before the Supreme Court, and the court made it pay. Justice Neil Gorsuch’s plurality opinion hammered that point, saying: “Recently, this Court made it abundantly clear that edicts like California’s fail strict scrutiny and violate the Constitution …. Today’s order should have been needless; the lower courts in these cases should have followed the extensive guidance this Court already gave.” . . .

Of course, one may expect such defiance from California politicians, whose state voted nearly two to one for Joe Biden over Donald Trump, but it is much scarier to see it come from three Supreme Court justices—Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Stephen Breyer—who discarded all respect for stare decisis and essentially accused their colleagues of killing people.

St. Louis Riot: Inmates Take Over Section of Jail; Dem Rep. Under Fire for Defending Rioters

/0 Comments/in , /by

By NBC News. More than 100 inmates took over a section of the City Justice Center in downtown St. Louis, injuring a corrections officer at the facility, officials said.

The incident began around 2:30 a.m. Saturday in a fourth-floor unit when a “defiant” inmate “who was very, very upset” got into a fight with the corrections officer, Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards said at a news conference.

The officer was then jumped by other inmates in the unit.

During the fight, several detainees were able to “jimmy” the locks on their cells, open them and get into the unit, according to Edwards.

As jail employees were trying to get the corrections officer to safety, the inmates accessed a lock panel system and “other detainees were released from their cells into the unit.” (Read more from “St. Louis Riot: Inmates Take Over Section of Jail” HERE)

Rep. Cori Bush Under Fire for Defending Riot at St. Louis City Jail

By Fox News. Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., is facing criticism for her reaction to a riot Saturday at a downtown St. Louis jail.

Inmates rioted over a variety of concerns, setting fires, smashing windows and throwing debris to the street below. It took corrections officers almost eight hours to end the “extremely violent” disturbance.

But the Missouri congresswoman tweeted a statement of support for the rioters, saying she would work to address their grievances, which include safety fears due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bush’s comments drew a polarized response, with some thanking Bush for “listening” and for “not forgetting” about her constituents behind bars. . .

Others, however, felt her words did not ring the same tone following the deadly U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6. Bush said that “our country deserves better” after accusing President Donald Trump of inciting the violence.

Illegal Aliens Guilty of DUI, Assault Will Not Be Deported Under Biden Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Illegal immigrants convicted of simple assault, driving under the influence, and “less serious” drug crimes will not be deported under new Biden administration Immigration and Customs Enforcement guidelines.

The guidelines—which were outlined in internal memos obtained by the Washington Post—aim to prioritize “threats to national security, border security and public safety,” ICE said in a statement. But the agency’s new operational plan severely narrows the criminal convictions required for an illegal immigrant to be considered a “public safety threat.”

“Generally, these convictions would not include drug-based crimes (less serious offenses), simple assault, DUI, money laundering, property crimes, fraud, tax crimes, solicitation, or charges without convictions,” acting director Tae Johnson wrote in a Thursday email. He added that individuals with “gang tattoos” and other “loose” affiliations with gang activity also would not face deportation, according to the Post.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that ICE would not deport illegal immigrants guilty of assault and DUI under the plan during a Monday afternoon briefing. She argued that while such crimes are not “acceptable behavior,” the administration is “talking about the prioritization of who is going to be deported from the country.” (Read more from “Illegal Aliens Guilty of DUI, Assault Will Not Be Deported Under Biden Plan” HERE)

Poll: Only 16% of Americans Say U.S. Democracy Is Working

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Americans are feeling pessimistic about the state of democracy in their country, according to a new poll conducted by the Associated Press.

Only 16% of Americans surveyed said that democracy is working well or extremely well in the United States, a sentiment shared by individuals of all political persuasions. Almost half of Americans, 45%, think that democracy isn’t functioning properly. A little more than a third, 38%, say democracy is working only somewhat well.

According to the Associated Press, the poll’s findings are “broadly consistent with how Americans graded democracy before the election,” however there was a noticeable partisan swing in views about democracy since the 2020 election.

Last October, 68% of self-identified Republicans said democracy was working at least somewhat well. After the election, though, only 36% of Republicans felt that way. Conversely, in October, just 37% of Democrats believed democracy was working at least somewhat well, but after Joe Biden won the election, that number increased to 70%.

GOP Congressman Dies Due to COVID-19 Complications

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Texas Rep. Ron Wright died Sunday at the age of 67. He had been in the hospital for several weeks after testing positive for COVID-19.

Wright had previously battled lung cancer in the fall of 2020. He tested positive for COVID-19 in late January and was hospitalized. Wright’s office released a statement Monday saying he died peacefully with his wife “by his side.”

“Congressman Ron Wright passed away peacefully at the age of 67 on Feb. 7, 2021. His wife Susan was by his side and he is now in the presence of their Lord and Savior. Over the past few years, Congressman Wright had kept a rigorous work schedule on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives and at home in Texas’ Congressional District 6 while being treated for cancer. For the previous two weeks, Ron and Susan had been admitted to Baylor Hospital in Dallas after contracting COVID-19,” a statement from Wright’s office read.

What the U.S. Senate Is Doing Is Not an Impeachment as Outlined in the Constitution Drafted by the Founding Fathers

/0 Comments/in , /by

Impeachment must be initiated by the US House Judiciary Committee—-It was not!

The President and his defense team are permitted to put on a defense in the US House—They were not permitted to put on a defense!

Impeachment is for a President who is the occupant of The White House—-President Donald J. Trump is no longer in office; he is a private citizen; private citizens cannot be Impeached by the Congress!

An Impeachment Trial in the US Senate and must be presided over by the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court—Chief Justice Roberts has declined to preside over the fake Impeachment Trial.

If a President is convicted in an Impeachment, he is removed from office and can’t run for re-election—-President Trump can’t be removed from office, since he is no longer in office!

Please review the below listed legal opinion of the North American Law Center: They state Impeachment of a US President who is no longer in office is unconstitutional and that the US Congress is in violation of the US Constitution. Legal Scholar and Harvard Law Professor Emeritus, Alan Dershowitz, stated the Impeachment of a US President who is no longer in office is unconstitutional and dangerous. Legal Scholar and George Washington Law Professor, Jonathan Turley, stated “the president means the current occupant of The White House, only sitting presidents can be impeached, and the sitting president will be Joe Biden and not Donald Trump.”

Socialist Democrats and RINOs in the US House and the US Senate support Pelosi’s Second Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. RINOs Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, and Toomey in the US Senate, and RINOs Cheney, Kinzinger, Katko, Upton, Beutler, Newhouse, Valadao, Gonzalez, Meijer, and Rice in the US House are knowingly violating the US Constitution; they are revealing their “uncontrollable hate” for President Donald J. Trump.

Report: Parler Offered Trump Organization a 40% Ownership Stake for Exclusive Postings

/0 Comments/in , /by

Parler offered the Trump Organization a 40% ownership stake in the company if then-President Donald Trump posted comments exclusively to the conservative social network, Buzzfeed News reported Friday. Negotiations started last summer and were revived in November after Trump lost the presidential election.

In June 2020, members of Trump’s campaign met with senior management of Parler, Buzzfeed reported, but the White House legal counsel stopped the talks. When talks resumed, Parler proposed that Trump post to Parler four hours before posting to other social networks. Trump wasn’t part of the negotiations, Buzzfeed reported, and no deal was struck.

Parler has been effectively shut down since January, when Apple and Google banished the app because of its content moderation. It was later taken offline when Amazon stopped hosting the service. Parler Chief Executive John Matze was fired this week. (Read more from “Report: Parler Offered Trump Organization a 40% Ownership Stake for Exclusive Postings” HERE)

BIG BROTHER: Sen. Cornyn and Dems Want to Force Social Media Platforms to Submit Suspicious Activity Reports to the Feds

/1 Comment/in , /by

Another challenge to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects tech platforms from being liable for various forms of content posted on them, has re-emerged, with bipartisan support. It takes a page from the Banking Secrecy Act (BSA) but, rather than filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the bill would force tech companies to file “Suspicious Transmission Activity Reports” (STARs) for “illegal activity” on their platforms.

This week, senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and John Cornyn of Texas reintroduced their “See Something Say Something Online” act, which would force tech companies “to report suspicious activity to law enforcement, similar to the way that banks are required to report suspicious transactions over $10,000 or others that might signal criminal activity.”

According to a summary document from Manchin’s office, companies are “largely shielded from liability for the actions taken by individuals on their platforms, lacking incentives to clean up illicit activity. Even when they do take action, they often just delete the data rather than turning it over to the appropriate authorities, making it more difficult for law enforcement to go after bad actors online. It is past time to hold these sites accountable, and for them to say something when they see something online.” (Read more from “New Bill Re-Introduces Suspicious Activity Reports for Social Media” HERE)
