Scotus Could Gut Federal Regulator Powers

A Federal lawsuit challenging an EPA regulation on fishermen could break the so-called Chevron defense, which has been used to justify the executive branch’s use of regulations to create de facto new laws. The conservative court appears to be telegraphing a willingness to overthrow the Chevron defense, which could significantly limit the power of federal agencies to create increasingly broad-ranging regulations that might not be in the scope of the legislation that created those powers in the first place.

Loper Bright Enterprises and other fishing companies are suing the Federal government over a new federal regulation created by the EPA that would lower fishing vessals’ incomes by 20 percent or more. The EPA has created a rule that requires fishing vessels to monitor 50 percent of their declared herring fishing trips. The rule would require the vessels to use monitoring services that would cost $700 and more a day.

The lawsuit was chosen for review by the conservative judges of the Supreme Court, leading some to question whether this case could undermine what’s called the “Chevron Defense.” This is a precedent that gives deference to federal agencies in interpreting the intentions of the legislation that they base their claims to create new laws without having them pass the legislature.

These new laws are called regulations, which is de facto new law that can bypass the halls of congress and the White House.

The lawyers for the fishermen are going directly after the Chevron defense, saying of it that it “encourages the executive branch’s aggrandizement at the expense of the judiciary, Congress and the citizenry.”

The lawsuit was rejected in a lower appeals court, the District of Columbia Circuit. The Court ruled that the precedent set in Chevron V Natural Resource Defense Council in 1984 still applies.

Anti-Abortion Threats Lead to University Charging Pro-Life Group for Security

FACING VIOLENCE FROM ABORTIONISTS, UNIVERSITY FORCES PRO-LIFE GROUP TO PAY FOR SECURITY – Students for Life of America must pay over $8k to the University of Mexico to protect them from rapid unborn-child-murder advocates conditioned largely by the same university to believe violence is a legitimate means of political expression. The group plans to have their President, Kristan Hawkins give a speech at the University called “Lies Pro-Choicers Believe.”

One lie they believe is that resistance to murdering unborn children makes the human expendable, assaultable, as violence against pro-life pregnancy centers continue to rise unabated, and the anti-life rhetoric from unborn-murder advocates has led to an attempt on the life of a sitting SCOTUS judge over a rejection of the unconstitutional Roe v Wade ruling.

If this seems more like a shakedown than a service, then you must be an American.

Bacteria-Powered Battery Could Run for 100 Years

BACTERIA BATTERY COULD RUN FOR A CENTURY – Researchers from Binghamton University’s Bioelectronics and Microsystems Laboratory have developed a battery that runs off of bacteria and could theoretically keep running for 100 years. Professor Seokheun Choi, the lead on the project, said, “The overall objective is to develop a microbial fuel cell that can be stored for a relatively long period without degradation of biocatalytic activity and also can be rapidly activated by absorbing moisture from the air.”

He continued, “We wanted to make these biobatteries for portable, storable and on-demand power generation capabilities. The problem is, how can we provide the long-term storage of bacteria until used? And if that is possible, then how would you provide on-demand battery activation for rapid and easy power generation? And how would you improve the power?”

The team created a dime-sized fuel cell, which was then sealed in Kapton tape, which resists extremely cold and hot temperatures. After the tape is removed, moisture enters in, which sets off a reaction between the bacteria and a chemical germinant that produces power, and spores.

The main drawback is the time it takes for the battery to produce power, which was originally 1 hour, but after adjusting temperatures and humidity levels it was reduced to 20 minutes.

The Battle for Khartoum Rages On

SUDAN CIVIL WAR THREATENS TO SPILL OVER ITS BORDERS – 18 months after taking over Sudan in a military coup, the two Generals that led the coup are now vying for supreme power. The war is for control of the country by either the General of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, and the General of the Army, Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan. Now the fighting is leading border countries like Chad and Libya to shut their borders down for fear of seeing the fighting spill into their countries.
The United States has evacuated its embassy, as have most other nations. Control for the capitol of Khartoum rages on, with the state media center switching hands at least twice so far in the fighting. The number of killed has not been generally reported, but it appears to be at least in the hundreds, so far, with no hope of a cease fire on the horizon.

The war began after the power-sharing agreement reached in 2021 broke down.  Dagalo wants to integrate his paramilitary group, the RSF, into the regular army gradually, over the course of a decade.  While al-Burhan wants a more rapid integration into the regular army he controls.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted about the conflict, “Deeply concerned about reports of escalating violence between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces. We are in touch with the Embassy team in Khartoum – all are currently accounted for. We urge all actors to stop the violence immediately and avoid further escalations…”

A UN envoy, Volker Perthes, said “The two sides who are fighting are not giving the impression that they want mediation for a peace between them right away.”

Biden Intends on “Finishing the Job” He Started in 2020, Destroy the Republic

BIDEN ANNOUNCES 2024 RE-ELECTION BID – Mass-Mailer President Joe Biden announced his re-election bid, claiming to be fighting for personal freedom by fighting for our democracy. He said, “Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There’s nothing more important. Nothing more sacred. That’s been the work of my first term: To fight for our Democracy. This shouldn’t be a red or blue issue.”

He added, “This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for re-election. Because I know America. I know we are good and decent people. And I know we are still a country that believes in honesty and respect, and treating each other with dignity. That we’re a nation where we give hate no safe harbor. And we believe that everyone is equal, and that everyone should be given a fair shot to succeed in this country.”

Kamala Harris confirmed she would be running for Biden, saying, “For two years we have made transformational investments to build a nation in which everyone can be safe and healthy, find a good job, and retire with dignity.”  She then claimed, “As Americans, we believe in freedom and liberty—and we believe that our democracy will only be as strong as our willingness to fight for it. That’s why @JoeBiden and I are running for reelection.”

In his opening campaign video, Biden resorted to the usual incendiary, seditionist language, accusing Republicans of wanting to take our freedoms away and calling Trump supporters “Maga Extremists.” The opening salvo is vicious and portends a 2024 campaign that might make 2016 look like a 1950s election campaign (or our perception of one).

He laughingly claimed, “When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America, and we still are. The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer.”

The DNC-CCP wants to censor speech, make resisting abortion a criminal offense, seize our guns, continue to outsource or resources to foreign countries, but it does want more freedom.  What kind of freedom? Freedom to groom your children is tops on their list. Freedom to murder the unborn is number two.  They want the freedom to force their Moloch worship on the rest of us.

Politico is reporting:

“Serving as national campaign co-chairs are Reps. LISA BLUNT ROCHESTER (D-Del.), JIM CLYBURN (D-S.C.) and VERONICA ESCOBAR (D-Texas), Sens. CHRIS COONS (D-Del.) and TAMMY DUCKWORTH (D-Ill.), Michigan Gov. GRETCHEN WHITMER and entertainment mogul JEFFREY KATZENBERG.”

Biden claims in his video that “we are in a battle for the soul of America” in this upcoming election. We are, but the ones who wish to destroy the republic and replace it with a socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics are the DNC-CCP, the party of the Mass Mailer President. When they say “America” they mean market socialism. When they say Democracy them mean one-party control of the whole election/voting process.

Biden announced his intentions to “finish the job,” and we know what that is, to finish the job of killing the American republic and criminalizing any values or beliefs that might support her.

Fox News Unmasks Itself in Tucker Carlson Cancellation

FOX NEWS CANCELS SELF AFTER CANCELLING TUCKER CARLSON – Out of the blue, Fox News announced that the legendary top ratings news host, Tucker Carlson, would no longer be working for the company, effective immediately. The company claimed the departure was mutual. Immediately after the ouster #BoycottFox trended on Twitter and stocks lost $1 billion in value.

Anonymous sources are saying the firing was related to a discrimination lawsuit by a former booking producer targeting, in part, Tucker Carlson’s team. Murdoch allegedly was also not happy of Carlson’s coverage of the January 6th protests where Tucker alleged the FBI was an active instigator in inciting violence.

Tucker was in the midst of negotiating for a contract extension that was earmarked for 2029 at roughly $20 million a year, while Murdock is rumored to be shopping Fox News to a buyer. The Daily Mail is reporting an anonymous Fox News source telling them, ‘Tucker still hasn’t been given any indication of why he was taken off the air. His producer Justin Wells was fired too. We believe Rupert wants to sell the company and it’s harder to find an institutional buyer with Tucker as the main star. Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy.’

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said of the ouster, “Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. What I will say, though, is, while I’m very glad that the person that is arguably responsible for the — some of the largest — driving some of the most amounts of death threats, violent threats not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country, I also kind of feel like I’m waiting for the cut scene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled, and then you see, like, the villain’s hand re-emerge out to grip over like the end of the building or something. But de-platforming works and it is important and — there you go. Good things can happen.”

A sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives openly celebrates the notion of “deplatforming” members of the press for having non-DNC-approved thoughts, while accusing Tucker of inciting violence, which she herself was ACTUALLY doing in the violent rhetoric (particularly so because she is a member of the government) she openly shared on multiple social media platforms. She wants more violence as a means of political persuasion, as is the nature of leftism at its core.

Just before the cancellation, AOC said this about Tucker and Fox News, further violent rhetoric claiming to be against the very thing she is accusing others of:

“I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t.”

“When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence — very clearly incitement of violence. And that is the line that we have to be willing to contend with.”

Donald Trump came out in support of Tucker, and expressed shock at the sudden departure.  He said, “I’m surprised. He’s a very good person and a very good man, and very talented. I think Tucker’s been terrific, especially over the last year or so.”

Former Fox News Host Meghan Kelly called the decision “a terrible move.” She said Fox News made a “massive misjudgment of what their audience wants.”

On Meghan Kelly’s Sirius XM Podcast, she said, “This is a terrible move by Fox, and it’s a great thing for Tucker Carlson. I don’t know what drove Fox News to make this decision, and it was clearly Fox News’s decision because they’re not letting him say goodbye. That’s my supposition. That’s not inside knowledge.”

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele felt compelled to comment on Carlson’s ouster, suggesting there would be a smear campaign against Carlson and further attempts to censor the man, no matter where he goes, since “they” couldn’t kill him, though they would if they didn’t fear the public outcry.

The former lead man in the failed Lincoln Project, George Conway, parroted the DNC-NPC talking points, reducing anyone not in their orthodoxy as being unthinking, uncritical, while claiming to be for diversity in the middle of a celebration of cancelling a news host for having dangerous views.

Conway stated on The Morning Joe Show, where Americans go to die, ”That’s the appeal of him to the MAGA base. Because they want to, they want to make things simpler for themselves. They don’t want to think for themselves. Democracy is complicated. Democracy is messy. Democracy is diversity. We don’t like that, these people who watch Fox News. And Tucker appeals to that. Not just the authoritarian streak, but also, you know, the great replacement theory. He wants to gin up, gin up the right, you know, with racism.”

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is probably getting approached by every conservative news outlet, and, if they have the money for it, Rumble as well.  Imagine Tucker exclusively on Rumble. So far, Tucker has chosen to remain silent save for a change to his Twitter profile that including adding preferred pronouns of she/her with a Ukrainian flag to boot.

If you go to his official website, Tuckercarlson.com, you get an opportunity “to become a tuckercalrson.com insider” by texting Tucker to 44055.  If you do, then you can “Find out what tucker’s up to next.”

Disney, Previous Reedy Creek Board Could Go to Jail over Trick to Preserve Disney Sovereignty over American Territory

DISNEY’S SCHEME TO RETAIN CONTROL OF REEDY CREEK IS NOW UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION – After the Anti-American seditionist company, Walt Disney Inc, saw its control of the special tax district Reedy Creek removed, the board about to be replaced by Governor Ron DeSantis a sweetheart deal that retains de facto control of the land for the Woketarian corporation.  The move was reported as a devastating attack on DeSantis’ efforts to rightly bring the rogue corporation to heel.

It turns out it just made things worse for Disney, who now finds itself under criminal investigation for its overt act of collusion and its blatant disregard for the law.  The Florida Attorney General’s office is subpoenaing all communications between the seditious anti-American board and its Disney handlers in preparation for bringing criminal charges against the CCP-compliant mouse and its corrupt sycophants.

Ron DeSantis made it clear this naked aggression shall not stand:

“On February 27, 2023, I signed House Bill 9-B, Reedy Creek Improvement District, Orange, and Osceola Counties, which replaced the Disney-controlled Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) with a new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD), and appointed five new members to the CFTOD board. Recently, the new board members informed the public that they had uncovered that, immediately before the enactment of House Bill 9-B, the RCID Board of Supervisors attempted to enter into last-minute development and restrictive covenant agreements with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. (Walt Disney World), designed to usurp the authority of the CFTOD board. These collusive and self-dealing arrangements aim to nullify the recently passed legislation, undercut Florida’s legislative process, and defy the will of Floridians. In addition, based on initial observations of counsel, the RCID board’s actions appear to suffer from serious legal infirmities, including, among other things, inadequate notice, lack of consideration, improper delegation of authority, and ethical violations, such as conflicts of interest and self-dealing.

Therefore, pursuant to Section 14.32, Florida Statutes, I formally request that you, as the Chief Inspector General of the State of Florida, in consultation with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, launch a thorough review and investigation into the actions of the RCID Board of Supervisors described above. Such investigation should include analysis of the following:

  • RCID’s adherence to applicable Florida civil and criminal laws and ethics requirements;
  • The qualifications of RCID’s prior Board of Supervisors and the legal validity of their actions; The involvement of Walt Disney World employees and agents in the execution of RCID’s actions; Any financial gain or benefit derived by Walt Disney World as a result of RCID’s actions and RCID’s justification for such actions;
  • All RCID board, employee, or agent communications related to RCID’s actions, including those with Walt Disney World employees and agents; and
  • All RCID board, employee, or agent communications related to House Bill 9-B, Reedy Creek Improvement District, Orange, and Osceola Counties, and the CFTOD.

Any legal or ethical violations should be referred to the appropriate authorities. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.”

Despite Their Denial, Biden Really Did Order the FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago

BIDEN APPARATCHIK DENIES REVELATION BIDEN ORDERED TRUMP MAR-A-LAGO RAID – After w watchdog group exposed Mass Mailer President Joe Biden’s direct involvement in the FBI raid of his political rival, Donald Trump over unsubstantiated claims that Trump was mishandling Top Secret Documents (while ignoring actual law violations by the Mass Mailer President and his criminal thug family), an apparatchik for the DNC-CCP in the form of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARR) is pushing back on the claim by misrepresenting law.

America First Legal, who exposed the seditious act by the anti-American regime’s head puppet, released a statement in response to the ill-formed defense of the President, “NARA’s allegations belie a misunderstanding of its statutory role in providing access to records under the Presidential Records Act (PRA) and indicate a belief that it was not used by the Biden administration (whether knowingly or unknowingly) as a means to an end.”

The statement came from America First legal VP Gene Hamilton, who spoke to the Daily Signal.

RESTRICT ACT Designed to Restrict Americans, Not TikTok

RESTRICT ACT THREATENS TO BAN INTERNET FREEDOM, NOT JUST TIKTOK– Rather than creating a bill that would simply ban TikTok due to its overt connections to the Chinese Communist Party (which aims to destroy the American republic and turn us into a vassal of Xi Jinping), the bipartisan cabal in Washington has created a bill called the “Restrict Act” that would enable the state to censor and criminally prosecute individuals and companies for merely threatening American security.

The purpose of the bill is vague.  In its own words, it states it is a bill “to authorize the Secretary of Commerce to review and prohibit certain transactions between persons in the United States and foreign adversaries, and for other purposes.” The bill gives near-God-like powers to the secretary of commerce and other Biden officials to destroy free speech on the internet under the guise of protecting American security.  It states:

In general

The Secretary, in consultation with the relevant executive department and agency heads, is authorized to and shall take action to identify, deter, disrupt, prevent, prohibit, investigate, or otherwise mitigate, including by negotiating, entering into, or imposing, and enforcing any mitigation measure to address any risk arising from any covered transaction by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States that the Secretary determines—

(1)poses an undue or unacceptable risk of—

(A)sabotage or subversion of the design, integrity, manufacturing, production, distribution, installation, operation, or maintenance of information and communications technology products and services in the United States;

(B)catastrophic effects on the security or resilience of the critical infrastructure or digital economy of the United States;

(C)interfering in, or altering the result or reported result of a Federal election, as determined in coordination with the Attorney General, the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Treasury, and the Federal Election Commission; or

(D)coercive or criminal activities by a foreign adversary that are designed to undermine democratic processes and institutions or steer policy and regulatory decisions in favor of the strategic objectives of a foreign adversary to the detriment of the national security of the United States, as determined in coordination with the Attorney General, the Director of National Intelligence, the Secretary of Treasury, and the Federal Election Commission; or

(2)otherwise poses an undue or unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the safety of United States persons.

That last sentence, “otherwise poses an undue or unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States….” is where the real tyrannical, fascistic power of the bill comes to bear.  The bill itself doesn’t address TikTok at all, and one doubts that the signing of this anti-American, pro-Chinese bill will actually result in TikTok being banned at all.  It is more likely that platforms like Rumble will face Biden’s anti-American DOJ agents in criminal proceedings than will the DNC-CCP run platform TikTok ever will.

Shut Up Or Else Over Pentagon Leaks, Warns NSC Spokesperson

BIDEN REGIME THREATENS PRESS OVER PENTAGON LEAKS – In a not-so-veiled threat to the free press, National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby tweets “This is information (the Pentagon leaked documents) that has no business in the public domain….It has no business….on the front pages of newspapers or on television.”

The statement can be read as a threat to all non-DNC-controlled media that the Biden administration will pursue criminal charges if they choose to publish the leaked files.  It should also be read as an order to the DNC-controlled media.

The DNC-controlled media are eagerly obeying the order as they work for the same interest, the establishment of a one-party state that models itself after the Chinese version of socialism, market socialism, where the exploiters can grind the workers to dust while the state can control all thought that might challenge their power.
