As Joe Biden, an illegitimate president, was sworn in at a funereal inauguration ceremony surrounded by thousands of U.S. troops, Democrats were busy plotting and scheming and planning reprisals against Republicans for doing nothing other than supporting his duly elected predecessor. These anti-democratic Democrats have been driven to utter madness by the events of January 6 even though what happened that day does not compare with the months of Antifa and Black Lives Matter murdering people and burning down cities to protest the Fentanyl-caused death in police custody of George Floyd, a drug-addicted career criminal who resisted arrest. Even the … Continue reading Anti-Trump reprisals: allies and supporters of the 45th president won’t be safe

The Federal Communications Commission urged the Supreme Court to relax rules limiting ownership of local media outlets, arguing that the restrictions are obsolete and unneeded. Telephonic oral argument in FCC v. Prometheus Radio Project and National Association of Broadcasters v. Prometheus Radio Project, which were consolidated and heard together, lasted 81 minutes, exceeding the scheduled 60 minutes. The hearing took place on Jan. 19, the Trump administration’s last full day in office. Republicans lost majority control of the FCC on Jan. 20, when Chairman Ajit Pai stepped down with the inauguration of President Joe Biden. Democrats are expected to have … Continue reading FCC asks Supreme Court to roll back media ownership restrictions

A novel climate-change lawsuit brought by Baltimore in state court against energy producers seeking damages for the supposed effects of global warming should be heard in federal court, the outgoing Trump administration urged the Supreme Court. The hearing came as the incoming administration of President Joe Biden prepares to reverse President Donald Trump’s pro-energy independence policies. Media reports indicate Biden will have the United States rejoin the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, in which nearly 200 countries pledged to reduce emissions claimed to contribute to global warming. Biden also is expected to revoke the permit for the 1,200-mile Keystone XL Pipeline on his … Continue reading Baltimore’s lawsuit against energy companies belongs in federal court, Supreme Court hears

A New Orleans social worker has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit to take on a state law that requires her to overcome “impossible” bureaucratic hurdles to helping families with special-needs children. The case, known as Newell-Davis v. Phillips, was filed on Jan. 12 in federal district court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The lead defendant, Courtney N. Phillips, is being sued in her official capacity as secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health. The plaintiffs are entrepreneur Ursula Newell-Davis and the business she founded, Sivad Home and Community Services LLC. Newell-Davis has spent her 20-year career counseling youths with mental health needs and cognitive disabilities, according to a case summary … Continue reading Entrepreneur sues Louisiana over respite care regulations

The charging of a young man associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter with cheerleading the mob violence at the United States Capitol that disrupted and delayed the recent congressional certification of the presidential election, raises disturbing questions about radical leftist involvement in the unrest. Does this mean that the civil disturbance on Capitol Hill January 6, executed by people carrying pro-Trump paraphernalia, was some kind of a so-called false flag operation? More investigation is needed but it wouldn’t be the first time Democrats have stirred up crowds in an effort to provoke violence for political purposes. Thanks to the … Continue reading Left-wing organizer charged in U.S. Capitol riot: Is John Earle Sullivan just one of many radical mob-inciters?

The Supreme Court has ruled that debtors aren’t entitled to have impounded property immediately returned to them as soon as they declare bankruptcy. The 8–0 opinion in the case known as City of Chicago v. Fulton was written by Justice Samuel Alito. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wasn’t yet a member of the high court when the case was argued on Oct. 13, 2020, didn’t participate in the case. Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed a separate, concurring opinion. When a debtor files a petition for bankruptcy, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code protects the debtor’s interests by imposing an automatic stay “applicable to all entities” on efforts to collect pre-petition … Continue reading Supreme Court rules on seized property in bankruptcy

With mere days before a new president takes office, leftist Democrats and useful-idiot Republicans voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald John Trump on false grounds for a second time, a move that places the United States on a fast-track toward banana-republic status. The vote to impeach on January 13 was 232 to 197. Ten Republican lawmakers voted to betray their own party and impeach President Trump. They are: Adam Kinzinger of Illinois; Liz Cheney of Wyoming; John Katko of New York; Fred Upton of Michigan; Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington;  Dan Newhouse of Washington; Peter Meijer of Michigan; Anthony Gonzalez … Continue reading Doubling down on impeachment insanity: Fanatical Dems impeach President Trump for the second time — and again without evidence

The Federal Trade Commission should be able, under current law, to order a payday lender to hand over its so-called ill-gotten gains after its leader was convicted of usury, fraud, and racketeering, the Supreme Court heard Jan. 13. The court heard 67 minutes of oral argument in the case known as AMG Capital Management Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The case goes back to when race car driver Scott Tucker was sentenced in January 2018 to 200 months in prison for operating a nationwide internet payday lending enterprise that, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) summary, “systematically evaded state laws for … Continue reading FTC asks Supreme Court to let it take funds from payday lender
