Merrick Garland’s Special-Counsel Appointment of Jack Smith Is in Peril

Nothing might change — except the politics of the 2024 presidential campaign.

In the coming weeks, there is a very real possibility that the federal district court in Florida will rule that Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Jack Smith as a special counsel (SC) violated the Constitution’s appointments clause (art. II, §2, cl.2).

If Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump-appointee who is presiding over Smith’s illegal document-retention prosecution against former president Trump, were to make such a ruling, would the Biden Justice Department have to start the case over from scratch? Perhaps, but I think that’s unlikely.

Trump’s Biggest Debate Opponents Are The Media, Not Biden

CNN cut the microphone of Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Monday after she correctly pointed out the network’s debate moderators’ long history of anti-Trump bias — proving the former president’s biggest opponent during the Thursday presidential debate isn’t President Joe Biden, but the media.

CNN’s Kasie Hunt first asked Leavitt “what Donald Trump is going to do differently on the debate stage,” before asking Leavitt what she expects from Biden.

Misunderstanding Islam

Perhaps more than any other academic besides Edward Said, French philosopherMichel Foucault is responsible for today’s alliance between Leftists and Islamists. He died in 1984, but his misunderstanding of Islam lives on, influencing the way the West views Islam.

Islam and America

At the nation’s founding, American vessels and American citizens were being seized by Barbary Coast pirates on behalf of sheikhdoms of Morocco, Algiers, and Tripoli, who were enslaving them because the Koran gave them that “right and duty,” as the Ambassador of Tripoli told Ambassador Thomas Jefferson in 1786. But then President Jefferson defeated the Barbary pirates, and for most of the 19th and 20th centuries, Islam and the Muslim world was removed, distant, exotic, unfamiliar.

Crabs, cockatoos and ringtail possums: the wild things thriving in our cities

From bees to burrowing owls, many species are adapting to urban environments and, with a little extra help from us, more could follow suit

In Sapzurro bay on the Colombia-Panama border, the blue land crab can be found scuttling around human infrastructure, burrowing in the nooks and crannies of the coastal settlement. The species, which can grow up to 15cm and ranges in colour from violet to bright cerulean blue, is considered critically endangered or vulnerable in this region, although it can be classed as invasive elsewhere. It traditionally lived in the region’s rich mangrove forests, many of which have now been urbanised – habitat loss that scientists have blamed for the crab’s decline.

I needed a good news story.

It’s not just Disney that’s refusing to hire white people; they all are

Now showing more anti white bullshit

Last week, James O’Keefe published an undercover video that saw a long-time Disney insider explain that Disney will no longer hire white men in its corporate offices. This week, James Woods published on X two graphics based upon data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that it’s not just Disney that is discriminating against whites. Instead, whites are being frozen out of the corporate labor market.

California has surrendered its streets to assholes

Too much tolerance is destroying the peace

I have always felt a white-hot hatred for those Harley clowns, in their clown costumes, who gratuitously rev their stone-age V-twin engines as you sit outdoors trying to have a conversation. The only proper response, I believe, would be for some good Samaritan with a baseball bat to walk up and test the efficacy of those little Nazi hats they call helmets.

The new thing is modern V8 muscle cars (Chargers, Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros) with exhaust cut-outs. They are deafening, and they are everywhere where I live in San Jose (which is not one of the genteel areas). They are also illegal, of course, but we no longer enforce laws in California. Nor, apparently, in New York. For those not satisfied with inflicting low-level hearing loss, a special Platinum Asshole feature is available on the aftermarket. It alters the engine’s spark and fuel map to deliberately induce explosive backfires that sound like a 12-gauge shotgun at close range.

Horrors of the Oct 7 ‘Death Shelter’

New footage showing the kidnapping of three Israeli men on October 7 has been made public by their families in a desperate bid to pressure world leaders into agreeing a deal to secure the release of the hostages still being held in Gaza.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Or Levy and Eliya Cohen were among three of the hundreds of party-goers attending the Nova music festival when the Hamas terror group stormed across the border and attacked southern Israel last year.

The trio were captured from what later became known as the ‘death shelter’ – a bomb shelter in which several festival-goers hid as the attack unfolded.

Berlin Police Chief: ‘Most’ Violence Committed by Young Migrant Men

There is a waning respect for the police among “parts of the population,” police commissioner said—meanwhile, mainstream politicians deny problems exist.

Most of the perpetrators of “violence in Berlin are young, male and have a non-German background. This also applies to knife violence,” says Barbara Slowik, the police commissioner of Berlin. In an interview with broadcaster n-tv, she talked about the recent spate of knife attacks in Germany, mostly committed by migrants—particularly young Afghan men.

“In recent years, we have definitely seen an increase [in knife attacks] in Berlin, especially among children, young people and adolescents. Knife perpetrators are getting younger,” she said, adding that there has been an increase in violent crime overall in the capital, and that non-Germans, i.e., foreigners, are overrepresented.

Boy does that sound familiar.

Meet Pierre Poilievre, Canada’s anti-Trudeau

His insular communications strategy is a necessary defense against Canada’s anti-American psychosis

An extreme form of mental gymnastics is required to believe that a pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ, pro-immigration philosemite in an interracial marriage is also Canada’s beachhead for an invasion of American-style white nationalism.

Then again, Canadians have extremely flexible imaginations.

Kelly McParland: It isn’t just Trudeau — the West is saddled with duds at the top

The opening get-together in the annual summer summiteering season was titled G7 Italia, after the location at a posh resort on the Adriatic coast. It should rightly have been Dead Men Walking.

Rarely if ever have so many unpopular, discredited, likely-to-be replaced national “leaders” gathered on a stage to be opped for a photo that would be out of date almost the moment they landed back in the countries that desperately want to be rid of them.

Assange Agrees to Plead Guilty in Exchange for Release, Ending Standoff With U.S.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, agreed to plead guilty on Monday to a single felony count of illegally obtaining and disclosing national security material in exchange for his release from a British prison, ending his long and bitter standoff with the United States.

Mr. Assange, 52, was granted his request to appear before a federal judge at one of the more remote outposts of the federal judiciary, the courthouse in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, according to a brief court filing made public late Monday.
