Justice Amy Coney Barrett Says There Is No Time Limit For Ballot Counting

 

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion ruling in favor of a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted even if they are received after Election Day. 

The court was split 5-4 on the ruling with the turncoat Barrett, appointed by President Donald Trump, joined by Chief Justice John (“No Balls”) Roberts, as well as the usual Marxists in Black, justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. The sane minority, including justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Samuel Alito were almost certainly shocked and appalled by the outcome.

Barrett’s opinion ignored the fact that federal law seems clear, in that all ballots must be received by Election Day to be counted. Incredibly, Barett’s opinion apparently acknowledged that federal law does mandate that Election Day is the deadline for voters to make a choice as to their preferred candidate, but that there is no standard for when ballots must be received to be considered valid. When the polls close? One week later? One month? A year? Meh. Que sera sera. It’s all good.

(This is like a sporting event where you have 90 minutes to determine a winner, yet goals continue to count for some time after. Oh wait, that’s soccer.)

In his dissent, Justice Samuel Alito stated that Justice Amy Comey Barrett's opinion was clearly inconsistent with the plain text of the laws and of historical practice and precedents, adding that it “risks further undermining Americans' confidence in election integrity." You think?

But SCOTUS rulings are no longer about interpreting the Constitution, legal precedent—or right or wrong—but about advancing a political agenda. This ruling is doubly damaging, as it calls into question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court itself, a disaster for the republic, but also further degrades any possible confidence in election integrity and results, the death knell for a “democracy.” Given the existing political climate and pervasive doubt about the validity of our elections, this ruling is an existential threat to the United States as it approaches its 250^th birthday celebration.

(Moreover, it does nothing good for the reputation of “women in black.” Historical ignorance, flawed logic, and emotional, agenda-driven decisions do not reflect well on those who make them.)

But wait, there’s hope! In late-arriving news, it turns out President Trump has not, in fact, nominated Barrett for the Court. He subsequently decided on Ted Cruz! Barrett’s ruling will be expunged and America has been saved!

 

 

Joy Reid Prefers "Juneteenth" To July 4th, The Date Which Freed Mankind

 

I have a bit more to say about Former MSNBC host Joy Reid and her former colleague Alex Wagner, who recently engaged in an online conversation comparing Independence Day and Juneteenth. Reid stated that “nobody black I know is really excited about the 4th of July” and claimed that her black friends basically treat the Fourth as a day off to barbecue. (That seems racist. Is Reid saying that all blacks like ribs and chicken?)

The Heinous One went on to describe Independence Day as “the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire.” Going further, Reid told Wagner that, to many Black Americans, the Fourth of July feels similar to how Indigenous people view Thanksgiving. She added that Juneteenth “to me is the real thing” because the United States “really weren’t a democracy until we ended slavery.”

Much as she might like to, Reid can’t speak for all black folks. And we did end slavery, that peculiar and nearly universal institution, and more than 600,000 people gave all in the effort to do so. Who will pay reparations to those heroes and their families? Upon the conclusion of the American Civil War, more than one hundred other countries still had large-scale forced labor, i.e. slavery. Is that fact routinely taught in American classrooms and bandied about in American media? Why not? Another fact that isn’t routinely taught is that the United States is not a pure “democracy,” but a representative republic, much to Reid’s and Leftists’ chagrin.

The truth is that America’s birth led to the eventual emancipation of not only blacks in the U.S., but of many peoples around the world. Because the unique and original American experiment hinged on the proclamation of a couple remarkable truths. One, that government derives any just powers it may have solely from the will of the people…and that limited government of, by, and for the people with equal justice under the rule of law should be the ideal. And, two, that there are certain unalienable rights that we all have, that have been bestowed upon us by our Creator…and upon which governments cannot infringe.

The extent to which a nation’s government acts in concert with those founding American beliefs largely determines how much liberty and happiness its citizens will enjoy.

Far from Joy Reid’s dismal belief, the U.S. was founded on the idea that all men (people) are created equal. And, to paraphrase Lincoln, we are now truly engaged again in a sort of Cold Civil War, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and dedicated, can long endure. It is of utmost importance to the future of the world that we, here and now, at the looming 250^th birthday of our nation, take increased devotion to the cause of the founders, that we may have a new birth of freedom.

Let freedom ring.

A Call To Prayer?

 

According to LifeSiteNews: “…the Regina City Jamia Masjid mosque did a ‘sound test’ of its call ‘to prayer’ from four loudspeakers, which lasted for about three minutes. The event was dubbed a ‘historic milestone.’” There seems to be a lot of “historic milestones” occurring in Canada and the United States lately. (Regina, Toronto, Minneapolis, Dearborn, etc., etc.) If that’s want you want to call them.

The Regina Police Service (RPS) previously issued a permit “to a local faith group,” allowing them to amplify their call to prayer via a downtown, rooftop speaker. Predictably, the RPS and other local authorities are more concerned about any backlash from the blaring paean to Islam than they are about the blaring paean to Islam in a still majority Christian city.

Making things worse, Canadian federal MPs recently passed Bill C-9, ludicrously and opaquely dubbed “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places).” Ironically, the bill effectively bans the public reading of parts of the Bible. But a call to Muslim prayer is apparently perfectly fine, according to the RPS and C-9.

I wonder if the powers that be would allow Toby Keith songs to be blasted across the city five times a day? The sound of dogs barking? Readings from Gad Saad’s great new book, Suicidal Empathy? Perhaps some advertisements for pork products? Who wouldn’t like to hear classics such as “Oh, I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer Wiener, that’s what I’d truly like to be, ‘cause if I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener, everyone would be in love with me!?”

In a sense, it’s not really a public call to prayer that Muslims are demanding. It is a warning. A call to arms. A call to overtake and subjugate.

A call that must not be answered. At least not in the affirmative.

 

Walking Along A Canadian Road

 

Walking along the northwestern Ontario gravel road, being assaulted by insects that tried to bite me, set up shop in my hair, and get into my eyes, I was struck by a thought. This thought was further buttressed by witnessing the quick and violent deaths of several insects via dragon flies and birds. Also, that my wife and I were walking in bear country made me ponder a potential confrontation of that nature. Most animals do what most animals gotta do: catch and tear each other apart to live. Whether the fauna at hand be insects, birds, reptiles, fish, or mammals, it is a brutal—and often very short existence.

The thought that struck me was this: does the apparent meaninglessness of bugs lives, along with their inability to perceive that meaninglessness—and, in many cases, to feel pain or experience fear in the same manner that humans do—actually prove that humans are different, superior…because they have been given the ability to perceive (and feel) these things? It seems to me a clear tell that we have been given this ability by the God of Genesis. (Moreover, we wonder about our own creation, and that of the universe of which animals are not aware.) Additionally, the gifts of compassion, humility, empathy—and humor—should make this clear.

In any case, we were not eaten by a bear, which I perceived was a good thing. I wish I could say the same thing as regards the bugs. We’ll laugh about that later.

 

 

It's A Great Day To Be Alive

     Dearest readers, I am currently in transit between remotest northwestern Ontario and my home in the United States. I am, therefore, unable to put up my usual brilliant and spine-tingling posts. That said, I do hope you realize that, in any case, it's a great day to be alive. If you make it so. 

     Until tomorrow then. 

Joy Reid Says Black People Are Not Excited About July 4th

 

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid recently stated that no black people she knows are excited about the 4^th of July. She added that most of her black friends simply see it as a day off to barbecue. She further stated that Independence Day is really just a symbol of the slavery of black people, and that she much prefers Juneteenth. She went on to describe Independence Day as “the celebration of slaveholders who freed themselves from having to pay taxes to the Crown for their slave empire.”

The inimitable-- and wildly off-base—Reid, also claimed that for many Black Americans the Fourth of July feels similar to how Indigenous people view Thanksgiving, adding that Juneteenth “to me is the real thing” because the United States “really weren’t a democracy until we ended slavery.” 

That Reid would pigeonhole blacks by saying they only view the 4^th of July as a day to barbecue is sadly unsurprising. Juneteenth is, literally, not a legitimate holiday. Juneteenth is a recently trumped-up and highly fabricated “holiday.” The U.S. was a democracy long before the first “Juneteenth.” Countless thousands of white men died in the struggle to end slavery long before it was ended in many other nations, so that countless numbers of black people like Joy Reid could claim to be victims. 

Crime And No Punishment

 

Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for a congressional seat in New York City. Qualifications? Like her city’s mayor, she wants to abolish private property. She also wants to abolish the police. And shut down all the prisons. And see to it that “Israel does not exist.” Oh, and she wants to abolish our borders. Private property, police, prisons, Israel, borders…all gone. What could go wrong? These stances naturally made Mayor Mamdani endorse her. What “progressive” politicians are really saying when they purport to want to abolish private property, the police, prison-- and our borders—is not just that they are anti-American and pro-crime, but that they hate us and are actively trying to replace us.

A recent post on ‘X’ noted that a Moroccan migrant has been arrested for the anal rape of an underage autistic girl in the bathroom of a restaurant in Dệnia, Spain. Could there be a more despicable crime? Can you say, “death penalty?” That would be the proper punishment.

A Sudanese immigrant recently tried to behead a 40-something Irish citizen, leaving him gravely injured and missing an eye. Is beheading a thing again in Europe? Apparently so. Yet, Irish police are urging Irish citizens not to protest too zealously against these crimes, lest they be found guilty of hate crimes. A beheading is one thing, but aggressively decrying a beheading is beyond the pale! Amazing. Incomprehensible. Satanic.

And, of course, a little girl was recently stabbed by a Muslim terrorist outside a Catholic school in Dublin, Ireland. She is now in such bad shape that she can only answer yes or no questions by blinking her eyes. To their credit, the Irish people are finally up in arms, or would be if they had any. But they are seriously demonstrating, taking to the streets to protest their government’s betrayal (of them). It seems they’ve channeled their inner American founder even as most Americans have forgotten what it means—and takes-- to defend one’s liberty.

It is important that we view Islam for what it is: a pseudo-religious political belief system designed to allow its adherents to take over and subjugate the rest of the world, or as much of it as possible-- as much as the rest of the world will allow. Caliphate, you know. If we fail to view it in that light, we will sentence ourselves to ultimate defeat via suicidal empathy.

Yet, predictably, leftists and their media sycophants around the world are far more concerned with potential “Islamophobia” than they are with silly little beheadings or anal rapes of young girls. They as much as decry the “anti-beheading extremists” of the “far right”… who seem to be intolerant of all forms of murder, whether it be abortion, MAID, euthanasia, stabbings…or beheadings. They imply that this kind of close-mindedness unfairly limits the options of the Homicidal-American Community (HAC), which is already marginalized in red states and rural areas. (Perhaps HAC could be added to the end of LGBTQIIA+. Maybe that’s what the ‘+’ was for.)

A Muslim assault that leaves a naïve young girl badly battered seems a near-perfect metaphor for the state of the U.S., and indeed all of the West at this point.

Western Europe, America, is that still you? Blink your eyes if you can hear me.

And one more question: will you both survive the 21st century?

Blink once for yes, twice for no.

Waiting.

Canada: Elbows Up, Population Down

 

According to recently released data from Statistics Canada, a record 120,640 Canadians left Canada and emigrated to other countries in 2025, surpassing the previous high from the year prior. Notice a trend? Wonder why?

Possibly because the Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney is desperately attempting to ram through a dystopian internet censorship bill which would demand that people’s data be kept for possible police review. The so-called “Liberals” are trying to force Bill C-22 through committee and the House of Commons in a matter of days. This bill is riddled with privacy, security, and civil liberties concerns, making it very popular among Carney supporters.

But Bill C-22 wasn’t the only piece of tyrannical legislation that the leftists in what amounts to the Canuck Congress were frantically trying to enact. They also defeated a final attempt to stop Bill C-9, the “Bible Ban Bill,” which would purportedly criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, especially those on homosexuality. This bill has passed muster, so to speak, and will soon become law, thus forever branding Canada as an anti-Christian nation. And an unserious one. But, like England, it is extremely welcoming to those under the thrall of radical Islam.

Forget Genesis.

“Man and woman He created them?”

“STOP,” shout the progressives!! “You can’t say ‘man’ or ‘woman’ or ‘he.’ And if you did say ‘he,’ it shouldn’t be capitalized. We only capitalize for Black people. ‘And’ is tolerable. ‘Created’ is problematic. ‘Them’ is okay…if it’s singular.”

The Marxist Carney Clown Show will continue, much to the detriment of Canadians. In large part because the majority of Canadians don’t understand the relationship between how they vote and the affect it has on their lives. (Or the majority of them are masochists.)

And now we hear from Gad Saad, coiner of the term “Suicidal empathy” and author of the best-selling book by the same name, that he is leaving Canada due to rampant anti-Semitism. In a June 19^th post on ‘X,’ he stated that Canada was going to force him (and apparently others who wish to leave) to pay an “exit tax,” a goodly sum of money in his case. He further noted, “No human being in a free society should have their hard-earned money stolen in this manner. I'm genuinely numb. I'm speechless.”

Canadians don’t have the right to bear arms, and therefore to properly defend themselves. And they will henceforth have little or no right to free speech. The “true north” is no longer strong or free.  A formerly great nation is heading inexorably towards ruination. America’s Hat lays worn, withered, and weary.

How long until the erstwhile “Great White North” lets Muslims ban Canadian bacon and Molson?

Oh, Canada…

A Joint Memorandum Of Misunderstanding

 

Let me preface this by saying that I have been a huge (yuuge!) supporter of President Trump.

However, with the joint “Memorandum of Understanding” (MoU), President Trump has effectively declared his-- and the United States’-- unconditional surrender to Iran, time, and current conditions. This unilateral capitulation is the more depressing and devastating given Trump’s pre-war actions and words.

The events of the past couple of days are eerily reminiscent of 1938, with Neville Chamberlain Donald Trump waving around the MoU, essentially a piece of paper purportedly proclaiming, “peace in our time.” It will likely work out about as well as did the Munich Agreement.

After the previous bombings of Iran’s nuclear sites, roughly one year ago, Trump said Iran’s nuclear facilities were utterly destroyed, set back by decades. Yet, a short time later, he claimed Iran was within weeks of being able to deploy a nuclear weapon. Early on in the war he encouraged the Iranian people to overthrow the mullahs. Iranians looked to Trump as a savior. Yet, he recently stated, “I never cared about regime change.” Talk about throwing a people under the bus! Which was it? It couldn’t be both. And then he threw Israel, our most reliable ally-- and the only democracy in the Middle East—under the bus as well (must be a damn big bus!), hurling “F-bombs” at Benjamin Netanyahu as he did so.   

And for what?

The MoU appears to unfreeze Iranian assets, grant them $300 billion to rebuild, guarantee the U.S. doesn’t meddle in their affairs henceforth, and removes its military presence. All for a promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and to, probably, maybe, agree at some time in the future to not enrich uranium to the extent needed to create a nuclear bomb. And I guarantee you, the very first thing the Iranians will do after signing “The Agreement,” is to find little (or not so little) ways to break it, breach it, go back on it. To rub Trump’s nose in it. In fact, they already have. Iran is apparently saying that all ships passing thru the strait must carry insurance approved by the IRGC. And that it might, after 60 days, start imposing fees on ships traversing the formerly busy neckdown.

So, we’re going back to the pre-war status quo. Except the strait might be less open than it was. And Trump has divided his supporters.

Trump could’ve called victory and gone home after the U.S. military knocked the hell out of the Iranians in the first few weeks, further degrading its nuclear program. Or he could’ve kept on blasting them to smithereens until the job was finished. And it could have been. Instead, panicked by the upcoming mid-term elections and the high price of oil/gasoline, he chose the third way. Which is no way at all.

What’s left of the mullahs and the IRGC will do whatever it wants, including executing any citizens known to have been sympathetic to the Americans. That unspoken guarantee is the only one they will uphold.

Understand that.

And that I still support President Trump despite this unfortunate episode.

 

Oregon Petition Would Make It A Crime To Kill Any Animal Except In Self-Defense

 

It’s time for another installment of “Has Everyone Gone Crazy?” I just posted one recently, you say? That’s as may be, but there is a staggering amount of insanity about these days. So, anyway:

In Oregon, the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) have proposed the so-called PEACE Act, otherwise known as Initiative Petition 28, which would make it illegal to kill an animal for any reason other than self-defense. And to get people to sign off on the act, they are asking them if they “want to help save animals.” That’s like starting a petition to ban breathing by asking folks if they’d like to help reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Initiative Petition 28 would make it a crime to kill any animal—and a felony sex crime to artificially inseminate a cow. Not kidding.

It would also lead to hunger and higher food prices, as it would effectively ban sport and commercial fishing, hunting-- and raising animals for meat, dairy, eggs, wool, etc.

What, to “PEACE,” qualifies as an “animal?” Apparently almost every living thing. Would Oregonians be allowed to swat a hornet? Kill a spider, mosquito, tick? Spray for termites? Can you say “slippery slope?”

Of course this “initiative” won’t ever be enacted as law…or will it? But it does illustrate that the leftist whackos never stop pushing and prodding, never give up. What we thought was “extreme” or crazy just a few short years ago seems almost quaint. Seemingly every week something more outrageous, bizarre, and sinister pops up. Because the crazies are never fully reproached or stopped.

This ticks me off. In fact, I can’t bear it. But don’t have a cow. (You won’t be able to if insane and destructive proposals like this should ever be enacted into law.) We must channel our inner lion and push back against horse-bleep ideas like this. And keep pushing. We aren’t all batsh*t crazy yet.

           As someone once said, “There’s a place in this world for all of God’s creatures.” That is certainly true. Right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.

Catholic Archbishop Praises New Mosque, Ignores Ubiquitous Gang Rapes By Muslim Men

 

Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit recently attended-- and spoke-- at the grand opening of a mosque. Weisenburger praised the new headquarters of the Islamic Institute of America (IIOA), and erroneously stated that Muslims and Catholics worship the same God.

According to lifesitenews.com, Weisenheimer Weisenburger noted that “he felt a ‘divine presence’ as soon as he arrived at the Imam Al-Hasanain Mosque.” The archbishop also “offered his prayers that the new mosque and Islamic center will bring all of humanity into a deeper communion with our one god.”

Incredibly, the Archbishop said of the mosque, “There is nowhere that I feel greater honor, fraternity, and kindness.” Really? Not even in your own church. Or in your relationship to Jesus Christ? Or perhaps in a sanctuary whose sacred book doesn’t instruct the faithful to convert, enslave, or kill infidels (everyone else)?

Weisenburger’s words, his personal tribute to Islam, are the harder to digest in the wake of the U.K.’s just-released “Rape Gang Inquiry Report” which asserted that at least 250,000 young English girls have been raped or gang-raped at the hands of Muslim men in recent years, often while being tortured and/or having racist or religious slurs hurled at them.

A quarter of a million lasses who will never be the same. Nor will any of those around them. To say my blood boils at this is the mother of all understatements. As others have stated on ‘X’ and other platforms, how can this not be the lead story of every newscast? How is it possible that those in government, law-enforcement, and media have simply passed on this story?

For God’s sake—literally-- there must be accountability.
