The Memo has gone out to the Lib Influencers: "Knock this story down by posting that everyone is going to get sued for posting rumors about Talarico." Hey Libs -- it would not be so hard to decipher your coordinated messaging if you all could resist the urge to post the same thing at the same time. "Coordinated Messaging" = False = Propaganda.

She became Lt. Gov. when Walz came out of the House to run for Gov. and had built up a reputation as a relatively normal guy -- based on Minnesota standards. That always protected her from scrutiny. She's beyond objectionable on her own.

I sat through three days of jury selection 100% confident that they would never keep me on the jury. By random luck, I was the fourth from the last potential juror called to be questioned. It took 10 minutes. For my trouble, I'm excused from possible jury service for .... One year.

It's a given. McConnell did it near the end of Obama's second term. That left open Circuit seats that Trump was able to fill. Dems weren't up in arms at the time because they expected HRC to win. Ninth Circuit is prime example. I predict if Dems control the Senate not a single Judge or Admin. Official will be confirmed in final two years. They will want those seats open if they win in 2028, and they will do whatever they think hurts the Trump Admin. ability to carry out policy.

The big change brought on is the benefits made it unnecessary to return to Mexico when the job ended. That was normally the case because it was cheaper to live back in Mexico with family. When that was no longer the case, they opted to stay in the US illegally.

First down. Miami has no timeouts left. Allowed the Vikes to run out the clock and win the game. Did everyone miss KC scoring 2 TDs in 19 seconds yesterday after Raiders fumbled on a kickoff following a KC touchdown?

I knew a guy .... a roommate. Was below mediocre in playing the guitar. But he would play a "song" with the girl's name in the lyrics. "I started writing this today while I was thinking about you."

Big from Supreme Court today -- first day of its 2026-2027 term. When the Court decided the Temporary Protective Status cases at the end of last term, those cases involved only Syria and Haiti. Other TPS designations have been ended by the Trump Administration, but the Court did not take up lower court decisions for review -- only the cases involving Syria and Haiti. A very complicated and long-standing case -- the first one brought if I am not mistaken -- out of the Ninth Circuit involved the largest group covered TPS -- Venezuelans. An Obama appointed District Judge in San Fran -- former ACLU attorney Edward Chen -- has issued three different decisions finding the termination of TPS by Sec. Noem to have been unlawful, and invalidating her decisions. The Ninth Circuit twice refused to stay the lower court decisions, and Judge Chen ultimately granted summary judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs, blocking the ending of TPS by Noem. The Ninth Circuit upheld his ruling, and the Trump Admin. appealed to SCOTUS. This was the most significant case NOT decided by SCOTUS last June because it was in a slightly different procedural posture, and Judge Chen's ruling was on different legal grounds that the two cases the Court did decide. But the Venezuela case involved the most aliens covered by TPS. This morning the Court accepted the Government's Petition, reversed the Ninth Circuit's decision upholding Judge Chen, and remanded the case back to the Ninth Circuit for further proceedings in consideration of its decision in the Syria and Haiti cases. This means the Court is done with TPS -- it's not going to consider any of the other challenges involving other countries that were still pending after it reversed the lower courts in the Syria and Haiti cases. Clean sweep by the Trump Administration on this very important question because one key factor in the Syria and Haiti case was the Court's finding that district courts where the cases all began lacked jurisdiction to hear and decide the claims. From the Court: "A provision of the TPS statute, 8 U. S. C. §1254a(b)(5)(A), provides: “There is no judicial review of any determination of the [Secretary of Homeland Security] with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a designation, of a foreign state under this subsection.” This text is clear, and its plain meaning is very broad." Expect to see these same words repeated in other immigration cases in the Court's new term as more of the lawfare on immigration cases makes its way to SCOTUS.

I'm growing weary of "parody" accounts here that post false claims with videos -- claiming the events captured in the video are something they are not with sensational click-bait headlines. They hide behind the disclosure they are "parody" accounts. Blocking all parody accounts. I don't need more fake news.

The problem there is the Chinese students pay full tuition. If their visas were revoked, billions of dollars that currently goes to U.S. colleges and universities to meet operating costs would evaporate. Hundreds of mostly smaller colleges in all 50 states would be forced to close at they lose not only Chinese students, but students leaving to transfer to a more prestigious university that suddenly needs 2000 more students for next semester. It was both blue state and red state governors who begged Trump to not cancel Chinese student visas -- not Xi.
