As a licensed attorney, I was so appalled by the treatment received by Clinesmith that I conducted a nationwide search for another example of an attorney with a felony conviction for lying to a federal court that was not subsequently disbarred. I was unable to find one. Clinesmith is a poster child for how the establishment protects its own and an indisputable example of our two-tiered justice system

Your friendly reminder that Kevin Clinesmith was let off with a wrist slap by… (Wait for it) …Judge Boasberg.

Pittsburger here! This is insane and the parents think so! There is one Pittsburgh Public Schools school located directly in the downtown core: ONE. All other schools are miles away from where the draft will be.

New from me: Up to 1.5 million 'American' children are being raised in China thanks to birth tourism and a grotesque interpretation of the 14th Amendment. This decade, many of those kids reach voting age. nypost.com/2026/03/19/us-…

If birthright citizenship is interpreted to include anchor babies and birth tourism, then Chinese citizens can order ballots from swing states, and vote in every congressional, state, and federal election.

It's been 48 hours. I decide to retire to be with my family after 3 siblings died, daughter has Stage 4 cancer, and another brother had a heart attack + more It shows that Democrats don't care about people, only power. @SenHesselbein should tell her team to take it down.

EXCLUSIVE: Straight to the Point with Catherine Herridge Publishes Secret Biden Era FBI Subpoena Targeting Longtime Trump Advisor Michael Caputo These never-before-seen documents detail the extent of the surveillance that targeted top members of Trump’s 2024 team. @thelatmg @latimesstudios_

Now THIS would be the real deal on immigration Self-deportation through soft power is far more important and more optical than physical raids (which should still continue to happen)

Not to be a killjoy but that monkey's not gonna learn how to read

NEWS: James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against those who had investigated & prosecuted Trump from 2017-2024, @axios sources say More than 130 subpoenas have been issued by the Southern District of FL axios.com/2026/03/19/com…

Constitution also guarantees your right to bear arms. Are you implying you shouldn’t have to have an ID to purchase a firearm?

I'm listening to Plutarch & he starts the life of Pericles with a basically unrelated ramble about how certain women buy 'puppies and young monkeys' instead of having children. Truly nothing is new under the sun

If you took $200 billion from the top 5 most expensive school systems in the country and spent it on bombing Iran you would improve both countries.

Now that Cesar Chavez is credibly accused of sexual abuse of numerous women, including 12 and 13-year-old girls, I presume we are going to be releasing any and all government files pertaining to him, scrutinize his relationships with other labor leaders and the Democratic Party, publish his private correspondence, and consider as tainted or (possibly even complicit) anyone who met with him or traveled with him, particularly in the presence of young girls. That's how this goes, right?

So I'm a big fan of PROJECT HAIL MARY

Did you read the piece? Caldwell began by comparing Trump support to being a heroin addict. And the theme is that Trumpism isn't guided by anything other than what happens when democratic reform becomes impossible. What you're saying might apply to some, but Caldwell was always much more cautious and sophisticated than your critique says.

Christopher Caldwell's more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger essay in the Spectator on the "end of Trumpism" assumes there is such a thing as Trumpism that could be said to have had a beginning, much less an end. A collection raw impulses and grievances cocooned in a personality cult was evidently an ethos. I suppose it's easy for MAGA intellectuals to blame the "deep state" or a hyperactive foreign country or even a certain domestic ethnic group for this war, but this war is exactly the kind of thing Trump enjoys and (in the case of Iran) has been openly talking about for decades. Here is Caldwell: "The attack on Iran is so wildly inconsistent with the wishes of his own base..." What turning? What base? What consistency? The base is whatever Trump says it is, as Trump himself has pointed out, with polling to back him up on this question. MAGA’s approval of this war as of two days ago: "CNN’s Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten shared recent polling on MAGA’s approval of military action in Iran on Tuesday. An average of 89 percent approve of the war, while just 9 percent disapprove." The rest is podcast noise. The irony of the MAGA intellectuals professing that their movement has been hornswoggled and now lies in pieces on the floor is they were never truly part of any movement to begin with. They projected and fantasized, hoping to see coherence where there was none. And they only served the same function of those conniving Beltway swamp creatures they claimed to detest and whose comeuppance at the hands of an insurgent populist they saw as the principal reason for backing Trump in the first place. They articulated ideas and policies and actually believed these had any meaning for the mad king who thinks he brought peace to Albania and Azerbaijan, who is now negotiating with hardline communists in the Western Hemisphere as viable alternatives to democratic dissidents, and who just told a journalist, regarding Ireland's female president, "he's lucky to have me." Caldwell, Vance and the rest were indeed duped, but not by Trump. By their own blinkered sense of self-importance. #selection-1871.105-1871.182" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archive.ph/ghNS2#selectio…

You’d be hard-pressed to get more upside down than this from the California Teachers Association. They’re arguing that parents should be presumed unfit—and that children are better off being raised by union-backed educators than by their own families. That is appalling and it runs directly counter to longstanding U.S. law and basic, natural human rights.

Something we really need to get away from is flattening things down to the point where there is zero distinction made between Cesar Chavez being a serial child molester and a 26-year-old assistant professor going on a date with an undergrad.

If the Free Beacon is going after Mamdani's wife for things she wrote in public when she was 15, that's still more decent and honest than liberals have treated conservative teens for things they wrote in private
