Another shake it out week.  We have the at one point Trump managing to get both Putin and Zelenskyy preparing for a truce, and then out of nowhere Putin dumps any concept of a ceasefire and launches a massive bombing raid.  Dealing with these lunatics must really be tiresome, but there's more in the background.  

 

No matter what you're reading, Putin's in trouble, and now he's having difficulties with his oligarchs, and for those who aren't aware of it, Russia is in reality an oligarchy, in many ways like Czarist Russia and their nobility.  It's these oligarchs who keep the country running, and they want the war over.  His economy is heading South, Trump is going to add more economic restrictions on Russia if he continues to squash a peace deal.  While it's true that Ukraine lost, it's also true Russia didn't win.  The number 2 military in the world hasn't been able to defeat the number 22 military in the world in three years.   And I have no idea why Trump is backing off on dealing with Russian cyber attacks, I think that's nuts. 

Trump has told NATO to pay up, or else, and guess what? The EU is putting a 800 billion euro defense plan in place.  Germany wants to overhaul their defense spending policies, the European Commission wants to borrow 150 billion Euros for "missile defense, artillery, drones, cybersecurity and more"...... all of which sounds great....but there's more.   They have no idea where that money is coming from, Slovakia is threatening to block financial aid to Ukraine, and Hungary is objecting to the verbiage in the agreement, and any new military aid.

So, if anyone had questions as to why Trump refuses to involved the EU states, and Zelenskyy and his "government" in the negotiations, this should help to dispel that confusion.  And a celebrated Ukrainian journalist wants Trump assassinated.   Personally, I say let them fight it out, and let Europe enter in or not.  Europe no longer matters.

There's no fixing stupid, and we need to leave NATO since it was created to prevent the Soviet Union from conquering Europe.  The Soviet Union no longer exists, and now we know the Russian military bear is just a Teddy Bear, and Europe has nothing to fear. Let's take our marbles and go home, and I think that's in the works as Trump is bringing 35,000 American troops home from Germany, and tell Europe to shove it.  They no longer matter, Europe is heading from a second rate continent to a third rate continent.  The cold war is over, and they're no longer the center of geopolitical concern.  It's shifting to the Middle East, and Trump has made it clear, ‘Not a Single Hamas Member Will Be Safe if You Don’t Do as I Say’.

The Democrats are nuts, as Trump address to Congress demonstrated, and now there are questions being asked whether or not Biden actually was signing documents, or even knew about them.  And given the strange people he pardoned and nominated for critical roles in the judiciary, I don't believe he had any idea about a lot that was going on.  Even Speaker Johnson acknowledged Biden wasn't aware of an executive order he allegedly signed.  And now there are those who are asking could laws “signed” by Dementia Joe be voided?  Personally, I think that's a stretch to believe that can happen. 

It's my contention the Federal government is filled with people who have a treasonous mindset. The FBI has arrested two individuals for selling classified material to China, and those who've been leaking information about immigration raids, has been identified, and if convicted face up to ten years in prison.   And they're not just in the federal government. 

Not all illegal aliens need to be arrested and deported.  Some are self deporting, like the one who was an aide for Alexandria Ocrazio-Cortex. And while I don't know for sure, it seems to me there's every indication she was aware of it, and if that's true, then she's committed a crime. 

Democrat run cities are a disaster, and the sanctuary cities are even worse.  Congress has made it clear that's unacceptable, as Democratic mayors were rebuked in Congress over immigration stance, and now twenty states are suing the federal government for firing so many people. Why?  It will adversely impact their economy.  What about what's good for the nation?

The price of eggs is high because we're insanely following Biden's policy to slaughter 150 million chickens”,.....“They spent billions of dollars randomly killing chickens within a perimeter where they found a sick chicken.”

Trump purged the leftist management at the Kennedy Center and a lot of celebrities pumped their chests and proclaimed with great moral indignation they refused to appear there any longer.  Well, who cares?  Now Trump has appointed Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo to the Kennedy Center board, and I've no doubt the new board will find great entertainment, and an audience that enjoys it.  These celebrities still don't get it.  They don't count. 

And finally, Transgender Americans are leaving the country.  Wow!  I guess that means we're doomed.  Right?  Except perhaps this woman may not think so.  I think that's a story that needs watching.  Transgender people are permanent patients, and to maintain the gender image they desire requires expensive chemistry, and medical care.  So it will be interesting to see just how well they fare elsewhere, especially in nations that are being consumed by Muslim immigrants, have socialized medicine, or are having serious economic issues. 

 

I'm planning on addressing an issue that's not being focused on nearly as much as it should be.  Judicial overreach.  

So many decisions by SCOTUS over the last century undermined the Constitutional structure but it was understood there needed to be a general attitude of acceptance in order to have a stable government.   That’s now out of control, as the courts are now more arrogantly than ever usurping the power of the Legislative, and the Executive branches.

The fact is, the federal judiciary has no Constitutional enforcement power, that belongs “exclusively” to the Executive branch. The courts cannot force the President or the Congress to do anything. The Executive has the power force the Legislative to follow the law, but not the courts.  If the Executive, the President of the United States, tells the judiciary to shove it, they can't do a thing about it.  Only the Congress can, and that's via impeachment.  But if Trump did that and was impeached, he'd win, and any Republican who voted for his impeachment will not be able to hold their seat in either House. Even the RINO’s can see the storm on the horizon over the weaponization and politicization of the legal system, and it’s going to be a hurricane. 

A Constitutional confrontation with the judiciary is long overdue. The Congress and the President need to undo the failure of the founding fathers, lifetime appointments, and failing to define exactly what the responsibilities and limits of the federal judiciary are. The Constitution gives the Congress the right to determine their jurisdiction. Judicial supremacy is a myth created by the judiciary, and it’s time to end that permanently with a Constitutional Amendment.

In this week's edition I have nine commentaries of my own, and I think they're pretty good, and sixteen from others.   Some of the authors I regularly publish have views I really don't agree with, whether it's economics or social commentary, so I don't publish those pieces, and for some reason there was a lot of that this week.

Have a great weekend, and best wishes, 

Rich

 No matter what anyone says, you can’t marginalize the truth!  You can suppress it, you can ignore it, you can avoid it, you can attempt to undermine it, you can attempt to subvert it, you can attempt to organize against it, you can even laugh at it, but if we have the courage and the fortitude to stand and confront the lies, irrespective of the personal costs, the truth will stand the test of time, because truth and time are on the same side.
