Andrew McCarthy FWIW:https://nypost.com/2022/08/09/trump-raid-not-about-classified-documents-its-about-jan-6/ What I find rather stunning about McCarthy's analysis is that he says the reason for the warrant was pretextual, yet he doesn't seem to have much of a problem with it. Just a little unconstitutional search and seizure, no big deal. And he doesn't explain how any even close to proper warrant for improperly-retained documents would allow the FBI to seize j6-related material. A general warrant might, but I do believe they're illegal.

Something that's driving me crazy is that many conservative twitter feeds and blogs I read are asserting as a fact that it was a magistrate named Bruce Reinhardt who signed the warrant; however, the only evidence I've seen is a record of a sealed warrant application. Unless that was the only sealed warrant application signed in Florida in the last several days (which seems unlikely and which no one has claimed, as far as I've seen), I don't see how that proves the case. I'd appreciate any further information.

bubarooni: What is the name of that plugin for your browser that you can use to 'hush' trolls? Does it still work? Blog Comment Killfile Works in Firefox. I believe Greasemonkey is required to use it.

Fooled me once, shame on you. Fooled me twice, same on me. Fooled me a hundred times, I'm probably Andrew McCarthy.

A source close to the Secret Service tells me both Bobby Engel, the lead agent, and the presidential limousine/SUV driver are prepared to testify under oath that neither man was assaulted and that Mr. Trump never lunged for the steering wheel. Perhaps it was answered somewhere and I missed it, but the question that occurred to me is, in what world would Secret Service agents have the power to override the President? Who works for whom?

As I understand it, only tradition keeps the number of justices at nine. The number of justices on the supreme court is set by law. It can be changed, but that would require legislation passed by the House and Senate to do so, not just confirmation a 10th justice.

That’s a neat site - I spent some time going through the 70’s, ha! Looking at those old covers certainly is a trip down memory lane. One more thing: there was a Time article on the coming of global cooling, it just wasn't the cover story. I actually remember reading that story and being quite concerned. I'm pretty sure there was also a similar Newsweek story at around the same time.

The other Time covers are legit. There's a handy website which has all the covers.

Eight Time magazine covers demonstrating the about face from global ice age to global warming. I have mentioned this change before, but here is photo evidence. I don't know about the others, but the "Coming Ice Age" cover is a mock-up.

Twitter has gone another step in its effort to force people to register. Now the Log-in/Sign-in popup no longer has an X in the corner to close it. How rude! as Jane would say. So far, it works to click Sign up, then close the sign-up window by clicking the X.

Sadly (though not unexpectedly to me)teh original version of the Time story has been replaced with a corrected version which says Breyer can be replaced by the Dems with a party-line vote.

Kinzinger tweeted about Epps: 4) He didn’t enter the Capitol on Jan 6, and was removed from the most wanted list because apparently he broke no laws. I’m pretty sure the FBI wouldn’t be dumb enough to put their own agent on a wanted list. Ray Epps has cooperated with the Jan 6 committee and we thank him To which walkafyre responded: It’s a lot more damning that Epps DIDN’T enter the Capitol, even though he was telling everyone they needed to enter the Capitol for 24 hours beforehand. Your narrative is crap. Quite an incisive observation.

One important consideration is that (at least according to RedState) the 6th circuit also reinstated the Jan. 4th effective date. So any court that's inclined to overturn it needs to act promptly to avoid considerable disruption.

The 6th circuit will be over turned. I'm not that confident; though I certainly think it's possible, and even likely. It should be overturned, and soon. I'll worry about the left not accepting SCOTUS decisions they disagree when it happens. For now, I'll just hope there will be lots of decisions they'll disagree with.

The aggravating news for tonight is that the 6th circuit court just re-instated Biden's employee vaccine mandate. The decision was 2 to 1. The 6th circuit court originally declined, by a tie vote, to hear the case en banc, instead of by the usual three-judge panel. It's possible they may decide now to hear it en banc, since the court generally is considered to lean conservative,

The attack on Pearl Harbor was 80 years ago. The Civil War began 80 years before Pearl Harbor. So Pearl Harbor is as far in the past to us as the Civil war was to those at that time. That seems strange to me.

Cleaning graffiti? That's falsely assuming to act as a sanitation worker! A class I felony according to our resident legal scholar. Graffiti!?! With a capital G, and that rhymes with V, and that stands for Vigilante!

Ashli Babbitt. Vigilante! You apparently only have a vague idea of what the word vigilante means, since whatever criticism one could have of Ashli Babbitt's actions when she was shot, she wasn't behaving as a vigilante. You excuse chasing Rittenhouse and attempting to grab away his rifle, hitting him with a skateboard, kicking him in the head, and even pulling a pistol on him, yet fault Babbitt for attempting to crawl, unarmed, through a broken window. I thought from your previous comments you were a bit dim, but didn't peg you as a complete moron. Live and learn. You are a dope, and not worth my time or anyone else's.

For killfiling with Firefox you also need the Blog Comment Killfile extension.

Is killfile still a thing? For Firefox, at least, you need to install the Greasemonkey extension. You can then just click "hush" in the poster's signature, and never see the poster's comments again. I see a lot of hushing in DCSCA's future.

The two killed were the lives destroyed- as is KRs- regardless of their records publicized after their demise. You do have a good point. If everyone would only cower before criminal mobs, thugs would be a lot safer.

MJW- that's up to the businesses, the suppliers or franchise contractors. Dealerships, fast food businesses and gasoline stations under license/contract to use a corporate ID [like Mobil or Shell] require it. I see. So business owners who couldn't or wouldn't pay to fully insure both their building and inventory against being destroyed lawless mobs deserved to have their lives destroyed. So either way, it all works out great.

Vigilantism is wrong headed and mob rule another degradation of the 'rule of law.' If the government abandons its responsibility to protect life and property, citizens have a right to protect it, themselves -- call it vigilantism, or whatever you will.
