I admit, I almost never think of Russiagate any more. It seemed like an obvious nothingburger at the time, and it was. But the campaign around it, especially the involvement of academics and intel agents, was and is notable (everyone knows media types are propagandists).

Justice Alito: Would you agree citizenship test in 14th Amendment is same as test in 1866 Civil Rights Act? Respondents: Words are obviously different. What Wong Kim Ark and debates tell us is that Congress was trying to do same thing with both. They wanted to encompass Common Law exception and Indian exception. Alito: Do they mean the same thing? Respondents: Framers were trying to do the same thing with the language in both. Alito: 1866 is more straightforward. "Not subject to any foreign power" is pretty straightforward. So if a boy is born here to an Iranian father who has entered illegally. That boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth. He has a duty to provide military service to Iranian government. Is he not subject to any foreign power? Respondents: No, what framers meant was referring to ambassador exception. If it meant not subject "of" foreign power, than lawful permanent residents -- Alito: Ordinary meaning would certainly encompass that boy, wouldn't it? Respondents: Shift to language of 14th Amendment clears up ambiguity. Alito: What I said of boy born to Iranian father is true to children born to nationals of other countries -- Russian parents, etc. Sure seems like that makes them subject to a foreign power. Respondents: That would've meant children of Irish, Italian, other immigrants -- which Wong Kim Ark and Framers allude to -- wouldn't count either. No foreign nationals' children would get citizenship. Alito: Difference is children could be naturalized when parents were naturalized in those cases.

We are proud to announce the world's first Tuba Aged Bourbon.

My snap judgment having just finished listening to oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara: The Supreme Court will not stand in the way of our country, its institutions, and Constitution ultimately being wholly overrun.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

I don’t understand why Trump and JD Vance hate immigrants when they’re both married to immigrants.
