Arizona AG officially declares invasion
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich issued an official opinion Monday saying the surge of illegal immigrants coming across the border meets the legal definition of an âinvasionâ under the U.S. Constitution.
âThe on-the-ground violence and lawlessness at Arizonaâs border caused by cartels and gangs is extensive, well-documented, and persistent. It can satisfy the definition of âactually invadedâ and âinvasionâ under the U.S. Constitution,â the Republican attorney general wrote in his opinion.
It is now up to AZ Governor Ducey to take such actions as he deems necessary to protect the people of Arizona and their property.
Biden, of course, is busy defending Ukraine. He has no interest whatsoever in defending The United States of America.

Celebrating black grievance month, the progressive way
Tough on China, the Biden way. Shady Hunter dealings with China state oil giant.
Hunter Biden tried to strike an exceedingly lucrative, âforeverâ business deal with a state-owned Chinese energy company thatâs since been sanctioned by the US over its ties to the Chinese military, according to the latest emails unearthed from his infamous laptop.
The plan would have apparently also involved the then-prime minister of Kazakhstan, who was arrested on suspicion of treason last month following his ouster as head of the countryâs intelligence service.

Just a couple of personal observations as I review the news:
The heroes in Ottawa really have set liberalsâ hair on fire. Strictures are falling everywhere as their movement threatens to spread to the USA and beyond. Those Canadian truckers are the BEST!! Disruption of liberal jackasses always brings a smile.
In addition and unrelated:
I question the far leftâs ongoing mega-attacks on Trump. Itâs their timing I question above all. The Presidential election is not until 2024. Are they trying to discredit Trump so he will not be named Speaker next year? If so, the timing would make sense.
But otherwise all these Trump attacks are premature. It all will be rear view mirror stuff in 2024. Maybe the left, writ large, simply cannot control itself where Trump is concerned, so all consuming is their animosity. But their timing stinks. They cannot possibly keep up this level of attack for the next two years.
I am enjoying the âTrump plugged up the White House toiletsâ stories. Thatâs a good one!
Also letâs not forget, if the Republicans win this fall in Congress everything will change. There will be Durham hearings and more Durham hearings. And all the Democrat dirty shenanigans will come into public view. I can hardly wait!!
Bidenâs diversity hire for the Fed. Will she be qualified to navigate the uncharted waters between inflation and recession, or will she help as all realize that the economic disaster was deserved because we are all a bunch of racists? Ask the chair of the top Econ department -
Clearly, the key reason for her appointment to the Federal Reserve is her keen interest in matters of Racial Equity and Social Justice. As Governor, she will have access to the research powers of the 400 Ph.D. economists working there. Will she send them to work on these matters, then creatively cherry-pick findings and sweep serious caveats under the rug, as she may have done in her 2014 paper and as described above? Would she instruct the research staff to keep updating their findings, until it fits the narrative she desires, as may have been the case in her own research? Will she use these âinsightsâ to tilt monetary policy and to disseminate them, given the powerful public voice granted to a Governor?
Couldnât one simply avoid these risks and concerns by appointing an academic expert on monetary policy instead, who also happens to know a thing or two about how to combat inflation? I surely think so.
Her stance pro reparations has been well documented: even her supporters confirm that she has stated as much⌠she appears rather quick at invoking limiting free speech and raising the charge of âhateâ in a matter of disagreement.
Should these activist stances be a cause of concern, before appointing someone to one of the highest offices in the country? I do think so. Might she use her then considerable power to shut down speech and disagreement in the Federal Reserve and elsewhere? Is it reasonable to appoint a person as Fed Governor, who so forcefully spoke up against someone critical of defunding the police, when some police protection might occasionally be welcome to, say, help guard the gold reserves

Fact checkers donât want you to believe your lying eyes, how the Biden administration is trying to kill minorities off by giving them free drug paraphernalia to fuel their deadly addictions, and how misinformation makes you a domestic terrorist. Cant make this stuff up.
Meth kits for justice: The Biden Administration announced this week it would be putting $30 million of taxpayer money into grants for programs that will in part provide drug users with crack and meth âsafe smoking kits,â which typically include the glass stems (the pipes). Priority would be given to drug programs for minority-groups, the administration said.
The Free Beacon reported that a source told them the crack kits could specifically include pipes, and the story went viral. The Fact Checkers were furious. Snopes, which at one time was a Facebook official fact checker, labeled the reporting with a big red X and MOSTLY FALSE rating . . . while confirming the Free Beacon reporting as entirely true. Hereâs how they explained it:
In 2022, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services substance abuse harm reduction grant did require recipients to provide safer smoking kits to existing drug users. In distributing grants, priority would be given to applicants serving historically underserved communities. However whatâs false is this was just one of around 20 components of the grant program and far from its most prominent or important one.
Thatâs right: Snopes claims that the news about smoking kits is true. Itâs just not important .
Or hereâs Facebookâs âPartly Falseâ Fact Check that also confirms the Free Beacon reporting:
While a description of the HHS grants stated that the grantees would be required to buy materials like safe smoking kits and supplies to âenhance harm reduction efforts,â such kits and supplies are just a few of the many materials that grantees can utilize.
The crack kits are just one of many other things in the basket, you see. So itâs false.
The backlash did, thankfully, reach the White House, which responded by saying they would not directly fund crack pipes and then later that they never were going to add pipes into the smoking kits. Are they lying now in the face of outrage? Maybe. Maybe not. Thatâs what fierce, independent reporting is for, and thatâs why banning articles on developing stories is idiotic.
The disinformation-is-whatever-I-say people run media tech coverage, social media content policy, and now are heavily influencing domestic terrorism policy. Bidenâs Department of Homeland Security released this week a bulletin about Domestic Terrorism focused on those who post âmis- dis- and mal-information.â Iâm not kidding. The DHS writes: âThese threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest.â
Remember this anytime you read a story about âmisinformationâ in the legacy press or see a âfact checkâ from your social media giant of choice. The people doing this are hoping you canât use your eyes to read, and their goal is to get the government involved. True is now Mostly False.

Talk about throwing a tantrumâŚ
The majority rewarded anti-vaxxers for gaming the system by asking twelve different federal judges for an injunction before finding one lawless enough to grant one.
First, being against mandates does not make you an âantivaxxerâ. This author doesnt even understand who heâs writing about (ok, heâs doing it intentionally, because focusing on the actual arguments doesnt yield the desired outrage, and wouldâŚgaspâŚmake the decision look much more rational). Second, this group âfoundâ a judge actually interested in following the law, and the appeals court affirmed this. It remains mind-blowing how following the law regardless of personal bias is now considered âlawlessnessâ.
The president, of course, is the head of the executive branch, and according to the Supreme Court, he holds all executive power. Although the chief executive often delegates oversight of his roughly 2.1 million employees, he is, as a constitutional matter, their boss. Congress has acknowledged this fact in [a sweeping law](5 U.S. Code § 7301 - Presidential regulations | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute that allows the president to âprescribe regulations for the conduct of employees in the executive branch.â
Never before in U.S. history has a single federal judge attempted to seize the presidentâs authority over his own employees to such a brazen and extreme degree.
But history is filled with examples where employers have been forbidden from mandating things of their workers that were not essential to the performance of their job - which is the essence fo this case and this decision. The whole underlying sentiment is not that âhe cant make meâ, itâs that there is no acute necessity for such workers to be vaccinated against this virus. Mandate vaccinations for all federal employees over the age of 65 or with at least 3 preexisting health conditions, and it might have a chance of standing. Forcing healthy young adults to be vaccinated in order to remain employed is solely to serve a political agenda and pander to a political base.
Judge Stephen A. Higginson, a moderate Barack Obama nominee, penned a dissent that reflected a kind of stunned outrage. âThe public interest is not served,â Higginson wrote, âby a single Article III district judge, lacking public health expertise and made unaccountable through life tenure, telling the President of the United States, in his capacity as CEO of the federal workforce, that he cannot take the same lifesaving workplace safety measures as these private sector CEOs.â
So he completely ignores the legality issues, and simply declares we should do it anyways. This is the lawless response. Yet is the one weâre suppose to cheer?
If there were ever a time for the Supreme Court to rein in this exploitation of judicial power, it is now.
I agree, and this is what we are now seeing happenâŚ
It is about who governs this country: a democratically elected president or an unelected, life-tenured juristocrat.
Um, Iâm pretty sure both are expected to enforce the boundaries established by the legislature. We have a democratically elected President, not a democratically elected dictator. It doesnt matter how good someone thinks something may be, they cannot do it if it remains against the law. Funny how the critics keep leaving that part out.

A New Mexico group that advocates for government transparency has weighed in, calling for LujĂĄnâs office to release more information about his health. The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government said New Mexicans have been left confused and concerned in the wake of LujĂĄnâs stroke. The group urged the senatorâs office to make a spokesperson and one of LujĂĄnâs treating physicians available for regular updates.
iâm really disappointed that the turtle has not forced a vote on a new majority leader. I guess it would be too unseemly for the Republicans to fight like Democrats.

Clinton acts of treason go completely unreported by mainstream media
John Durham ever so slowly getting to bottom of Clinton/Russia scandal.
Why is this taking so long? Because the cover up by Hillary and her co-conspirators was nearly perfect. The unraveling of that cover up is a painstaking, highly time consuming, process.
That this actually happened in our country is a scandal of unimaginable proportions. But because the perpetrators are among the mediaâs favored people not a word of this is being made public by them.
But there are reports elsewhere. Durhamâs work is a matter of public record and it cannot be concealed completely. For example:
Ex-Director of National Intelligence says thereâs âenough evidence to indict MULTIPLE peopleâ in Durhamâs Russia probe and claims Biden and Obama were briefed on Hillaryâs plot to take down Trump with a âfake scandalâ
Clinton allegedly approved âa plan concerning U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server,â according to a CIA Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL) first revealed when a heavily-redacted version became declassified in October 2020.
The September 2016 memo was forwarded from the CIA to the FBI to the attention of then-FBI Director James Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok.
A growing chorus of Democrats believe Clinton should be questioned by Durham for her alleged role in the Russian secret server scandal in a poll conducted before the bombshell revelations that her team spied on Trumpâs campaign.
In a poll last month, 66 percent of Democrats wanted Clinton questioned, a whopping 22 percentage points higher than how many in her party demanded a probe last October, according to TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) research.
The amount of Republicans demanding answers is also swelling, rising to 91 percent in January from 80 percent last October. Among the independent crowd, those wanting the former secretary of state probed rose to 74 percent from 65 percent.
Both polls were completed before Special Counsel John Durham last week released a bombshell report that claimed Clintonâs campaign team tried to spy on former president Trumpâs computer servers in a failed attempt to tie him to Russia.
Jake Sullivan deeply involved
Perhaps most egregious among all the American mainstream mediaâs reporting failures are those centered on Jake Sullivan. Sullivan is currently Bidenâs National Security Advisor. With the ongoing Ukraine situation he has repeatedly been interviewed by the woke American press corps. Yet not once has any âreporterâ asked this Sullivan snake about his involvement in the illegalities being revealed by Durham. Not one time!!
Unlike the phony Mueller âinvestigationâ, Durhamâs work is careful and honest. Too honest, it would seem, for the Praetorian Guard American mainstream media circling the wagons around their incompetent, scandal ridden, and traitorous Democrat party.
You can read about John Durhamâs work in a variety of places on the internet if you search. Here is but one example of many:
John Durham slowly exposes Hillary Clinton treachery
This all is something about which Trump can complain with total and complete legitimacy. Will he, or will he instead continue to focus on the 2020 election and his activities of January 6, 2021? We shall see.

If you are unable or unwilling to read this truth without crying for the future of our country, you should be ashamed. I write that despite knowing there is no shame whatsoever today on the rabid left. Still, this is just so obvious and egregious:
Turns out the real threat to ânormsâ was the Hillary Clinton campaign
From the perspective of several years ago, itâs the stuff of an implausible political thriller or a conspiratorial YouTube account. One presidential campaign spies on another as part of a broad effort to get government agencies to pick up the baton and launch a high-stakes investigation of the new president that hampers his first years in office and consumes massive public attention.
Where could such a thing happen? Maybe Brazil or Equatorial Guinea? Well, we now know it happened in these United States.
The latest from special counsel John Durham is that a tech executive connected to the Hillary Clinton campaign mined internet contacts between Russia and the entities connected to Donald Trump in a search for material to try, as Durham put it in a court filing last week, to âestablish âan inferenceâ and ânarrativeâ tying then-candidate Trump to Russia.â
Durhamâs probe is a righteous effort to get to the bottom of a matter that deranged American politics for two solid years but has been derided or ignored by the mainstream press, with baleful consequences.

Speaking of Trump, itâs important that our Federal Reserve climate change policy be set by a woman (which goes without saying under Biden), but also one who happens to be married to the Senator who lead the Trump impeachment. Oh, you mean the Fed is for monetary policy and not climate activism? Well, just shows youâre as behind the times as the Fed is behind on dealing with inflation.
Meanwhile, it seems the Republicans arenât going to put up with Mrs Rankin as a Fed nominee, and are going to boycott.
