  3. Fake violence. Fake news. Now fake law (from a legal expert who clearly doesn’t like Donald Trump):
    “Something ugly is happening to the First Amendment. It is being contorted to enable judges to protest Donald Trump’s presidency. The perennial impulse of judges to manipulate the law to achieve morally and politically desirable ends has only been exacerbated by the felt necessity to “resist” Trump. The result: Legal tests concerning the freedoms of speech and religion that in some cases were already highly dubious are being further deformed and twisted.”
    Welcome to the rise of fake law. Just as fake news spreads ideologically motivated misinformation with a newsy veneer, fake law brings us judicial posturing, virtue signaling, and opinionating masquerading as jurisprudence. And just as fake news augurs the end of authoritative reporting, fake law portends the diminution of law’s legitimacy and the warping of judges’ self-understanding of their constitutional role.”
    McCreary County was a 5-4 decision in which the Supreme Court concluded that two Kentucky counties’ displays of the Ten Commandments in their respective courthouses were unconstitutional because each of three iterations of the displays evinced to a “reasonable observer” the same impermissible, nonsecular purpose—the promotion of Christianity. “Reasonable observers,” the Court intoned, “have reasonable memories. And unreasonable observers have unreasonable ones.”
    Put to one side that the Supreme Court has never yet applied the establishment clause to foreign claims—a fact not even acknowledged by this judge. What makes the Hawaii court ruling so absurd—and such a clear example of fake law—is the district judge’s use of campaign statements by people without any lawmaking power when they were made to identify the order’s purpose. The Ten Commandments case was at least an attempt to discern government purpose because there was actually a government with a law-making history whose purpose could ostensibly be investigated. What “legislative history” did this judge consult? Campaign rhetoric, and the media spouting of a “surrogate” who has no role at all in the current administration.”

  4. Afro-Canadian Landlord Fined $12K for Islamophobically Wearing Shoes

    Daniel Greenfield
    … This poor man came to Canada from Nigeria 22 years ago in hopes of building a better life for his family.
    After almost a quarter century of being a law-abiding, hard-working member of society, he never imagined his adopted country would label him a human rights violator and order him to pay $12,000 in compensation to his Muslim tenants.

    Daniel Greefield explains the nuances of Sharia law in the above linked article.
    For Canadians, I’d guess: Sharia Law “legislated” by the Ontario Human Rights Commission. One province down… the others will likely see this judgement as a precedent. Your prov. gov’t. will surrender without even a fight.

    “National Post View: Sajjan could have been exactly the defence minister Canada needed, and now he’s ruined that”
    “This week, as National Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan continued to face strong criticism of his now-acknowledged embellishment of his role in Canada’s 2006 Afghan War offensive, Operation Medusa, the public had another opportunity to see Sajjan in action. It was unfortunate that what could have been Sajjan-the-politician’s finest hour instead became a footnote to the self-inflicted scandal.
    The event was a talk given by the minister on Wednesday, on the Liberal government’s plan for the military.”
    “… it’s unforgivable that the minister sidelined this critical message via his own inexplicable, and indefensible, grandstanding.”

  12. On Russian Television today; Puerto Rico files for bankruptcy.
    have been scanning the North American channels for confirmation of this long expected NEWS.
    Crickets, celebrity scum scandal and lame talking heads.
    Fake News does not even begin to describe this “Slime oozing out from your TV set”.

  13. When I saw this headline on Drudge
    Investigators scour thousands of nude images in Marine scandal…
    I thought it was about the French election.

  17. In view of the comments made by liberal democrats since the U.S. election, the American Psychiatric Association has no alternative but to declare liberalism a mental disorder
