TOO LATE POWELL.

Well Sarah, let’s correct what you just said. The immunity ruling forced Smith to cut 9 pages and one co-conspirator (Clark) from his original indictment. Smith kept in comms with Mike Pence, even though SCOTUS made clear those exchanges were likely protected under outer perimeter authority of the president. Despite the watered down indictment—a grand jury made up of DC (Dem) voters MIRACULOUSLY indicted the president on the same 4 identical charges in a superseding indictment less than 30 days after the J6 was was kicked back to Smith. Even if Trump had lost, the new indictment would have again landed before SCOTUS for allegations related to Pence. Additionally, it’s very likely the Fischer ruling would have resulted in the dismissal of the 2 1512 related charges. Bottom line: Even if Trump had lost, he very likely would have gone to trial on two very vague conspiracy charges for the so-called fake electors plan. It’s sort of hilarious you still defend the J6 case as legit.

I would have written the immunity decision differently but let’s be real: DOJ reindicted Trump on the exact same 4 counts. SCOTUS didn’t shield him; voters did. The person it shielded was Joe Biden. Does anyone doubt this admin would have indicted him for nonsense?

𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 ACT is announcing new policy to make immigration work for New Zealand. One that welcomes people, but only if they share values of tolerance, freedom and democracy, help build infrastructure, and play by the rules. “New Zealand is a settler society. From those who arrived in open boats 700 years ago, to those who arrived at Auckland Airport this morning, our country has been built by people willing to make a journey to try and build something better,” says ACT Leader David Seymour. “Immigration has enriched New Zealand. In less than 200 years, New Zealand has gone from a series of isolated villages, to a network of modern cities connected by road, rail, air, and sea, with electricity, the internet, and the three waters. “Each wave of settlement has also built the Kiwi character that is respected around the world. Kiwis are recognised in everything from business to sport to peacekeeping as resourceful and thoughtful, firm but fair people who keep their word and can fix anything. “Today, Kiwis who are proud of our settler heritage are asking themselves why something doesn’t quite feel right with immigration. ACT believes their suspicions are correct. “Successive governments have let a skilled-migration system become a general-purpose labour tap. They have failed to enforce the rules they set. They have allowed infrastructure to fall further behind. And they have asked too little of people who want to benefit from the Kiwi character without supporting it. “The rate of settlement has overwhelmed the ability to provide infrastructure. Dunedin took 180 years to build, but we add the population of Dunedin in a couple of years while we struggle to build a hospital in Dunedin itself. “We are told that the immigration system is a strict one focused on delivering the right skills to New Zealand. On paper we do have a strict system, but even those who want to believe that cannot see it. Too often they shake their heads and ask, if we have a system targeting skilled migrants, how did a guy who can’t even find an address on GPS get here? “We recognise there are different issues in urban centres compared to rural New Zealand, where populations are lower and it’s a lot harder to find people willing to get up first thing in the morning and do a hard day’s work on the farm. “ACT’s policy restores the basic bargain that New Zealand was built on. People are welcome here if they contribute, respect our democratic values, and help build the country.” ACT’s six-point plan is: 1.⁠ ⁠Deport serious offenders ACT will ensure Resident Visa holders convicted of offences carrying sentences of 10 years or more can be deported no matter how long they’ve been here. This goes further than the Government’s current proposal to extend liability to 20 years. 2.⁠ ⁠Skilled visas for skilled jobs Accredited Employer Work Visas are meant to fill crucial skills gaps, but too often the gaps close and the categories remain wide open. ACT will have each skill category automatically expire every year. To remain open, they would need to show up-to-date evidence of demand. 3.⁠ ⁠Opportunity, not dependency ACT will introduce a five-year welfare stand-down for all residence class visa holders. That means no jobseeker support, accommodation supplement, or income-tested benefits for a migrant’s first five years here. 4.⁠ ⁠A fair contribution for infrastructure ACT will introduce a $6 per day infrastructure surcharge on temporary work visas, on top of existing charges. This ensures migrants contribute to New Zealand’s infrastructure from day one, before they start paying tax. The fee is expected to raise around $80 million a year, while remaining more affordable than comparable visas in Australia and the United Kingdom. 5.⁠ ⁠Stronger English language requirements ACT will extend basic English language requirements to all AEWV types. Lower standards will still be permitted for seasonal workers. 6.⁠ ⁠Enforce the rules There are 20,980 known overstayers in New Zealand right now. ACT will establish a dedicated overstayer enforcement unit within Immigration New Zealand. Platform employers such as Uber and DoorDash will be required to verify and report work rights. Employers who facilitate overstaying will lose their accreditation. Mr Seymour says the policy is designed to rebuild confidence in immigration by restoring fairness and accountability. “People are rightly cynical about politicians promising to slash migration numbers. In 2017, Labour campaigned on reducing net migration by 30,000. NZ First campaigned on reducing net migration to 10,000. The rest is history. “The two parties formed a Government, and after two years of their Government net migration had risen to 80,000. If it wasn’t for COVID closing the borders, they would have held the record for migration under one Government. “We need an immigration system that recognises New Zealand’s heritage as a nation of settlers. We need new migrants to grow and develop, but that migration must work for New Zealand. “Success requires a common set of expectations; respect our freedoms, uphold our democratic values, contribute to infrastructure, speak English, obey the law, and fill genuine gaps in the economy.”

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The most dangerous person is not the one who knows he is doing wrong and does it anyway. The most dangerous person is the one who has fully convinced himself he is a hero. That describes the man who walked into the Washington Hilton with a shotgun after sending his own family a chilling manifesto describing how he was going to kill the President of the United States and as many cabinet members as possible. Cole Allen. 31 years old. Caltech engineering. Master's in computer science. Teacher of the month at his tutoring company in December 2024, indie video game developer, designed a wheelchair brake for seniors as a student. The face the children's parents trusted with after-school tutoring. That was the face that he showed the world. But he also ran a Bluesky account where he called the President of the United States the Antichrist and a literal pedophile, rapist, and traitor. He bought a shotgun in August. Stored it at his parents' house without telling them. Trained at the range. Sent his family a thousand-word letter ten minutes before the attempt explaining why he had no choice anymore. His own line in that letter: "What my representatives do reflects on me." That is not a man who snapped. That is a man who took the rhetoric seriously. Who heard "Hitler" and "fascist" and "Antichrist" for ten years from people he trusted and finally did the math the words implied. Most people on his side of the aisle do not pull the trigger because some last brake in their head holds. He had no brake left. The politicians and journalists and blue-checks and anon trolls who built that brake-killing rhetoric are not pulling triggers, but they surely are loading the gun and handing it to whoever picks it up. And unless something is done about this, there will be others.
