NEW: DOJ told a judge in New Jersey that it had violated court orders about 54 times between Dec. 5 and this week β€” the latest accounting of a phenomenon that used to be rare and is now rampant. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

To my surprise, CDC is still tracking how many children RFK condemns to measles. Cases are getting younger and, of course, it is spreading faster.

I bet there’s some law against impersonating a state worker. This is not an β€œin the heat of the moment” situation, this is them very deliberately lying about being a state worker.

So, just yesterday:

- 5 GOP senators joined Democrats to advance a resolution terminating hostilities in Venezuela;

- The Senate gave unanimous consent to a resolution installing the J6 plaque in the Senate

The already discredited Woodward book, so many lies and phony sources, has me calling Jeff Sessions "mentally retarded" and "a dumb southerner." I said NEITHER, never used those terms on anyone, including Jeff, and being a southerner is a GREAT thing. He made this up to divide!

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being "Politically Correct," and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it's eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War I| (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for "prey" as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst "Congressman/woman" in our Country, Ihan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how "badly" she is treated,…

The problem is they can't replace Obamacare with a more "republican" plan that isn't a disaster, because the ACA IS the Republican option: It was Romneycare with the serial numbers filed off!

When Democrats lose an election, we beat ourselves up over it for months.

When Republicans lose an election, they convince themselves within 24 hours that they really won.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national electionβ€”and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This order suspends him from practice before the DC Circuit. That court doesn't have the power to take away his license in DC. That would be the DC Court of Appeals (local court). He's been disbarred in New York. Usually DC acts to disbar someone who has been disbarred in another jurisdiction.

It doesn’t seem like it should be remotely controversial that if you’re killed by police while obviously storming the US Capitol that the military shouldn’t go out of its way years later to honor you, but then again Trump just rehung a portrait of Col. Robert E. Lee at West Point, so….
