Reddington’s attack on the holdout juror in front of the courthouse was, in my view, an outrageous and reckless moment. It would warrant a response from the judge about stoking the rage against this one juror.

The success of this counter-constitutional movement is evident in figures like Harris and Buttigieg throwing the Supreme Court to the mob. It is unlikely to be enough. After they come for the institutionalists, they will come for the incrementalists.

The Hill is out with my column on the latest controversy involving Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Talwani has a litany of injunctions against the Administration that were later reversed on appeal.

The Clancy jury was just dismissed until Monday. That will mean that the jurors will have the weekend to think about the case. While they are asked not to discuss the case, they will be returning to their homes in a media environment saturated by coverage.

Abdul El-Sayed expressed shock that people were asking him about a “streamer in California” as he campaigns for the Senate in Michigan. That streamer is, of course, Hasan Piker, who El-Sayed brought from California to campaign with him. However, the problem goes far deeper for El-Sayed.

Fox has posted my column on Carville's recent release of this uncut product for a nation of rage addicts. Like Walter White, Carville traffics in the classic coke of his industry: Blue Sky Rage.

As expected, Karmelo Anthony was denied a new trial. Despite the existence of alarming evidence against both the victim and Anthony, counsel made a strategic decision to leave the information out of the trial. Courts tend not to second-guess such tactical moves...

Eric Swalwell reportedly was stopped at the airport, and his electronic devices were seized. The FBI seized additional evidence from his Washington home pursuant to a warrant. It is the most chilling tale for the many in D.C.: the fall of a made man.

Kentucky has a population of just 4.61 million people. However, its governor just called for abolishing the Electoral College, which protects small-population states from being turned into electoral nonentities. Next, Beshear will call for banning Bourbon.

After the Hong defeat, Hasan Piker is blaming establishment Democrats and the media, declaring "the knives will be out." Yet figures like Newsom, Buttigieg, Harris, and others are still trying to pander to the lunatic fringe.

When Gov. Abigail Spanberger broke her promise not to gerrymander Virginia, I wrote that Virginians would not forget her unsuccessful effort to extinguish their representation. Spanberger just came face-to-face with those voters.

Gavin Newsom, the self-proclaimed "established insurgent, believes that there is a pocket of delusional free-market Marxists who are longing for his leadership. If so, they do not live in New Hampshire, where Newsom is being trounced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Voters can spot the real thing; AOC is authentically bananas. That is better than a Newsom banana split that is part establishment and part insurgency.

Gavin Newsom made his latest pitch to the mob by proclaiming himself “an established insurgent.” Like a preservation arsonist, it makes no sense to anyone else. Yet, Newsom believes that he can ride this radical rage to power. Call it the Danton delusion.

A month after NPR's Nina Totenberg announced that Sam Alito was retiring, the 76-year-old jurist told the Journal: “Obviously, I’m here for another term.” Looking at the docket for the coming term, it is easy to see why, including two major gun cases.

Democratic leaders continue to brush off concerns about the radical agenda and associations of these candidates. The only thing that they have in common is the desire for power. Schumer and others will soon find that the Big Tent is not nearly big enough.

Hunter Biden is back in court, claiming to be a starving artist to avoid payment on $17 million owed to his lawyers: "I don't own anything of any value other than ... my paintings." Hunter insists that not only is he broke, but so is his family...

El-Sayed assured voters that he was really referring to the head of Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) in defending his remark. Somehow, alluding to the beheading of a staunch defender of Israel was presented as far more reasonable than mass beheading. That is what passes for a moderate in this age of rage.

While it is virtually impossible to get universities to seriously consider a mainstream conservative, schools eagerly hire professors such as Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, who recently unleashed an unhinged rant against the U.S. and the concept of borders.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fast becoming the greatest fabulist since Aesop. Her greatest work of fiction may be her claim that the Framers fought against billionaires and would have joined her and other socialists in seeking to eradicate them today.
