Quotes


“…history clearly shows that, liberal or conservative, when left to impose their personal values, Supreme Court justices can do considerable harm. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney’s opinion in Dred Scott proves that there is nothing inherently progressive about empowering jurists to decide which rights should be protected from legislative restriction. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes’s opinion in Buck v. Bell (1927) upholding forced sterilization of institutionalized persons on eugenicist grounds proves that even progressives can render results that are repulsive. And Justice Benjamin Curtis’s dissent in Dred Scott — a dissent based on the originalist observation that, at the time of the Constitution’s adoption, black men had the right to vote in five of the 13 original states — proves that abhorrent results can sometimes happen by not following originalist principles.”

“Israel’s Supreme Court is nothing like America’s. They jump into cases where no party has standing. They interfere with laws that are not yet justiciable, not ripe for judgment. They fabricate and then superimpose their own laws and strike down legitimate Knesset legislation based simply on whether their cabal thinks something  “unreasonable.” Literally, if that handful of radical extremists  decide something is “unreasonable” to them, they strike it down. No case law. No precedent. Can you imagine being an attorney arguing before such a coterie of oligarchs? They have been imposing their radical left agenda for 30 years, since then-Chief Justice Aharon Barak made the Court the nation’s tyrant, creating the standard of “reasonableness.””

“UCLA researchers who examined Los Angeles County Public Hospital data discovered that over two-thirds of official COVID-19 hospitalizations since January 2022 were actually “with” rather than “for” the disease.”

“American Jews should reject “leaders” (including rabbis) whose facile arguments “privilege” (to use today’s locution) their own ideologies over the realities of the Jewish state, and over the desire of the majority of its people to live in an identifiably Jewish state. As Israel’s president reminded newly elected officials and all Israelis recently: “We have only one State of Israel.” To slander and disparage it, to speak wildly and carelessly when every word spoken may become a weapon in the hands of Israel’s enemies, is a sin that American Jews should avoid at all costs.”


===============


“Angela Davis [] was no less than honorary co-chair of the 2017 Women’s March. Let me remind you of Comrade Angela’s credentials:  Angela Davis for about 50 years running has been America’s most infamous female Marxist. She twice ran for vice president of the United States on the Communist Party USA ticket as the running mate of old Communist Party USA head Gus Hall, whom Barack Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan, actually voted for. Davis, the prized student of the Frankfurt School and New Left guru Herbert Marcuse, traveled the world chummily meeting with communist despots, such as her Berlin Wall buddy Erich Honecker and her favorite Havana banana Fidel Castro. Davis jetted to Moscow in 1979 to receive the USSR’s Lenin Prize, which she glowingly accepted in front of a grim bust of Lenin and an even grimmer room of white Russians. Davis is a mentor to Rep. Ilhan Omar and self-described “trained Marxist” Patrisse Cullors, the founder of Black Lives Matter.  [Davis] prattled on about climate change and fauna and LGBTQ, but, in truth, her commitments were to Marxism and Lenin and the KGB. The Millennial gals giggling in pink hats had no idea of all that ideological baggage. They were lured in as crowd fillers, to add their presence to what Angela and ’70s cronies like Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground sweetheart Bernardine Dohrn and other FBI fugitives called the Popular Front.”

“Some recent “conspiracy theories” once dismissed as fringe Covid kookery: There will be new shots annually. They will insist on vaccinating children. The vaccines can affect your menstrual cycle. There will be an attempt to segregate the population by vaccination status. Your job will be in jeopardy due to vaccination status. Lockdowns didn’t work. Masks are not effective. The six-feet rule was completely arbitrary. Plexiglass shields are worthless. … And beyond Covid: “Mostly peaceful protests.” Big Pharma got millions addicted to opioids. The CIA did crazy shit with crack. The CIA was testing drugs out on African Americans during the Jim Crow era. TikTok is Chinese spyware. The Catholic Church is covering up a massive child abuse scandal. (SinĂ©ad was right!) The Hunter Biden laptop isn’t a Russian disinformation operation. Weapons of mass destruction. The entire set of Twitter Files revelations. The Great Reset. Your phone is listening to you. Your government is listening to you. UFOs are real. There’s an international group of very powerful men running a large pedophile ring. That last theory got some details wrong though. It wasn’t a pizza parlor; it was a private island. They did get one thing right though: Bill Clinton might be involved.”
