Fox News Legal Analyst Jonathan Turley Thoroughly Dismantles Lindsay Clancy's Attorney After Debate Challenge

Fox News Legal Analyst Jonathan Turley Thoroughly Dismantles Lindsay Clancy's Attorney After Debate Challenge: 

At the end of the day, this issue is about the protection of the judicial process. Jurors need to feel free to hold dissenting views without facing extrajudicial retaliation. When officers of the court incite public outrage against individual jurors, they undermine the protective guarantees essential to a fair trial by jury. We do not want to live in a world where unpopular jurors are doxxed, threatened, or worse. Such is the world Reddington is building.

(Enbridge Line 5 carries 65% of the LP gas used for home heating in Michigan's Upper Peninsula & 55% of the LP used in the Lower.

For 8 years @GovWhitmer has been trying to shut it down.  - Donnie Detroit@DonnieDetroit19
What is the alternative that the State proposes to transport the needed LP gas? 

• They do not have an official alternative.

Months after mocking Trump for his focus on Greenland, media reports on China's first Arctic shipping route | Not the Bee

Months after mocking Trump for his focus on Greenland, media reports on China's first Arctic shipping route | Not the Bee - Dr. Jones

I'm old enough to recall when everyone scoffed at President Trump's insistence that control of Greenland was critical for national security in the North Atlantic region.
As reported by The New York Times:

'This is a big deal,' said Dexter Roberts, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council focusing on China. 'China is the only non-Arctic country that is actually doing something like this.'
'China is a master at doing things that don't seem commercial, necessarily, in the beginning,' he added.
Eventually, he said, 'it all adds up to a geostrategic win.'

Now here’s the ammo you need for the next time some braindead liberal screeches “34-count convicted felon!”  - Deep Dives@DeepDivesUsa 
This is actual footage of a sitting JUDGE testifying in Congress about how completely botched and illegal this case was: 

1. Jury instructions were a mess 
2. Misdemeanors illegally elevated to felonies 
3. The whole process was weaponized garbage 

The judge’s own words under oath: “I have very little doubt that this matter will be reversed upon appeal.”

Data show the DSA takeover of the Democrat Party is nearly complete * WorldNetDaily * by Ireland Owens, Daily Caller News Foundation

Data show the DSA takeover of the Democrat Party is nearly complete * WorldNetDaily * by Ireland Owens, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

In June, the DSA released a new platform, dubbed "Workers Deserve More," which in part proposes to "draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic." The socialist group's platform has drawn intense public criticism from congressional Republicans. "The DSA Communists have now published their insane agenda to take over Congress and America," House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote in a June 27 X post. "We will not let it happen! WE ARE READY FOR THIS FIGHT!!"

Who?

 

This is something no one is really discussing. Michigan is #2 in duplicate registrations.

That doesn’t happen unless you have a corrupt Sec of State like @JocelynBenson at the helm. -PattyMI@PattyLovesTruth

Batteries and the Grid: Economic Reality vs. Renewable Aspirations | NCEA

A PJM-based analysis finds a wind-solar-battery grid is physically implausible and cost-prohibitive—costing ratepayers over $4 trillion, roughly six times a natural gas and nuclear system. - Jonathan Lesser, PhD/Mitchell Rolling

• At the beginning of 2026, total U.S. grid-scale battery storage could supply roughly 15 minutes of average national electricity demand.
• Modeling PJM's system through 2045 found that a renewables-only grid would need roughly tenfold more generating capacity than a natural gas and nuclear alternative.
• Under that renewables-only scenario, total costs paid by PJM ratepayers over the next 20 years would exceed $4 trillion, even after savings on fossil fuels...

You don't need to "love" President Trump to see the results!

Quick — what’s the most ridiculous relic of the woke era, the one even the most liberal of liberals would probably rather forget?

Instapundit - The Madness of the Anti-AI Crowd.

Certain insects undergo periods of dormancy before suddenly erupting in a destructive swarm. ... - ROGER KIMBALL: The Madness of the Anti-AI Crowd.

So it seems to be with society’s appetite for panic. 

How long can we go without indulging in the catharsis of a panic? 

How many society-wide panics have we witnessed in the last few decades? 

• There was the “global cooling” scare when we were warned that a new ice age was upon us. 
• Then there was the “global warming” scare, which is still going strong...
• Chicken Little warned about a “population bomb” in which untold multitudes would precipitate mass starvation and lead governments to force sterilization upon their polyphiloprogenitive charges...

Curious how the doomsday messages invariably heat up (pardon the pun) when there’s a Republican in the White House: In accordance with the prophecy: Experts Warn We Have Only 12 Years Left Until They Change The Timeline On Global Warming Again. - —The Babylon Bee, August 1st, 2019. - Ed Driscoll

FBI Busts Scheme to Use Skid-Row Homeless to Steal Voters' Identities for Ballot Petitions

FBI Busts Scheme to Use Skid-Row Homeless to Steal Voters' Identities for Ballot Petitions: 

FBI Director Kash Patel commented about the case on X, writing, “This morning, the FBI and our partners arrested a subject near Los Angeles for allegedly paying homeless individuals on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles to sign petitions in support of ballot initiatives—all using stolen identities of registered voters. Two additional petition circulators have also been charged in the investigation.”

“All three subjects are charged with conspiracy to commit identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony, among other charges,” he continued. “Securing American elections from criminal interference is of the utmost importance to this FBI. If you mess with our elections, this FBI will find you.”
