SCOTUS: “The Party Is Over”

More analysis from Margot Cleveland and Jonathan Turley.

Julie Kelly: Amy Coney Barrett took a blowtorch to KBJ.

Indeed: “We will not dwell on JUSTICE JACKSON’s argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries’ worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this: JUSTICE JACKSON decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”

@JonathanTurley …We have our fourth opinion. It is Mahmoud v. Taylor, by Justice Alito. Huge 6-3victory for parental rights over the ability to withdraw their children from LGBTQ lessons.The Court includes pictures from these books to drive home these points…

This Is CNN

Body language.

Update;(h/t Orson).

The top-secret Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) assessment that claimed Iran’s nuclear sites suffered only moderate damage likely relied on faulty information from deceitful Iranian sources, according to several former U.S. intelligence officers, one of whom described the document as so unreliable “you can wipe your ass with it.”

In other winning: SCOTUS just ruled 6-3 for the Trump administration, allowing deportation of illegal aliens to a third country, not their homeland.  Maryland fathers, Andrew Coyne hardest hit.

Update: With a half hour to go before the ceasefire takes effect, Iran launched another volley of missiles, mostly because they’re retarded.

Clip of the operational details here.

Iran Parliament has voted to close the Straits of Hormuz: We’re about to get some good footage of Iranian ships being sunk.

Can Iran close the Straits? “Probably not.”

Axios: At the request of the Trump administration, the Israeli Air Force took out multiple Iranian air defense systems in the 48 hours leading up to the U.S. strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.

Evening update from Joe in the comments: Commander of IRGC Ashura garrison was shot in his car. He survived, but died when his ambulance was hit by a drone.

Toronto today and every day.

@Based_JediImpressive that everyone was watching the B2s in Guam when the real attack came from a different direction entirely, and not in 14 days. And most importantly, no leaks.

@wretchardthecatWith the US strike on Fordow every narrative has to be reframed. Trump as Putin’s stooge, European presumptions, China’s expectations. All in the dumpster. What world are we in? Nobody knows.

Update: Trump addresses the nation.

As an aside, every purported photo and video circulating social media of the attack has so far been a fake (old video).

A Long Row To Hoe

What’s the biggest hurdle facing Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants? It’s not public protests or pushback from the courts, but the simple fact that there are now 18 million of them.

The Trump administration states that its planned large budget increases for hiring more ICE agents and private contractors, and expanding detention capability, will allow the administration to deport one million people per year. In other words, that’s still just four million deportations total and the best case scenario—from the administration’s perspective—under current goals.

That would only put the administration back to near where the Bush administration was more than a decade ago. Moreover, this is in the context of current immigration numbers, and the administration’s supporters tell us that there are currently more than 18 million illegal aliens in the United States as of early 2025. So, the administration’s best-case scenario would mean the administration has few hopes of deporting even a quarter of the existing population of illegal immigrants.

Yesterday, in this post, I pointed out that a clear majority of American men will not vote for the Democrats, while the vast majority of Canadian men would absolutely vote for the Democrats, if they were allowed to vote in the U.S. I asked for an explanation why Canadian men think this way.

To my great delight, ‘The Phantom’ share a most eloquent and detailed answer which is well worth a read:

Simple Truths that TDS-infected Normies Can’t Understand

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve completely given up discussing American politics with assorted friends who are clearly infected with TDS and stuck on narratives that are fueled by ignorance. What’s discussed in this video is a simple litmus test. If a person, watching this, can’t understand why Trump is succeeding and the Democrats are failing, it’s clear that they’re lost. It really is pointless to engage in any American political discussion.

Related: Several women, who have traditionally voted Democrat, have woken up.

Thought Experiment: A clear majority of American men will absolutely not vote for Democrats. Yet, the vast majority of Canadian men, could they vote in American elections, would vote for Democrats. What does this say about Canadian men? Beta-males? Cucks? Ignorant to the extreme? Something else?

There They Go Again

And I have a feeling this time will be different.

The National Guard will be deployed to Los Angeles County after anti-ICE protests continued to escalate Saturday afternoon, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan told Fox News Saturday.

On Saturday, tear gas was deployed near Home Depot in Paramount, California, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were allegedly conducting a raid.

Following the raid, a violent protest broke out and several arrests were made for assault on a federal agent, according to U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks.[…]

Vice President JD Vance clarified the border crisis is an invasion.

“One of the main technical issues in the immigration judicial battles is whether Biden’s border crisis counted as an ‘invasion.’ So now we have foreign nationals with no legal right to be in the country waving foreign flags and assaulting law enforcement. If only we had a good word for that…”

Major Disappointment with Trump

Folks on the Left never criticize their leaders, no matter what they do. Their refusal to do so is cult-like and pathetic.

Trump and the Republicans betrayed Elon Musk and the American people when it came to trying to balance the budget.

This outburst here from Trump is beyond pathetic & disgraceful. Unless there is some 4D Chess being played by Trump & Elon together, then I’m very disappointed in Trump acting in such a childish, spiteful manner.
