I'm sick & tired of these activist judges and people who absolutely know they've done wrong and don't have the guts to admit the error of their ways. I can't believe that one of these self- entitled judges thinks that CPS will be a better keeper of these children who were on their way home to Guatemala to be reunited with their actual families. Talk about completely out of control!
AGAIN, if Republicans- any Republican- had half a brain they’d have connected with the Guatemalan parents and broadcast them across the nation demanding the return of their children.
That judge’s ruling really is the topper of all these twisted judgements.
“Sparkle” is her actual name! Tells you all you need to know. Even her parents were idiots.
It’s a problem with the law schools in this country; many (most?) have been taken over by leftists & the whole process has been entirely perverted. It’s all part of their plan however, as the 45 Stated Goals of Communism laid out in the late 1950’s & were read into the Congressional Record in 1963: https://1776history.com/2022/05/31/communisms-45-goals-for-america/
People need to wake up. This has been a long, slow climb thru the institutions by dyed in the wool leftists. A slow roll if you will, a constant - yet unyielding - nudging of The Overton Window leftwards.
just Google Love me Love me, I'm a liberal by Phil Ochs
Phil Ochs, ‘Love Me, I’m A Liberal’
Part Pete Seeger, part Tom Lehrer, part Lenny Bruce, this excruciatingly ironic song is a leftist indictment of the conditional compassion exhibited by mainstream liberals. Phil Ochs is scathing as he sings in the voice of the type of LBJ voters who cried about the Kennedy assassinations but thought Malcolm X “got what he asked for.” And his closing verse, though aimed at Cold War-era liberal hypocrisy, rings out just as ruthlessly today: “Sure, once I was young and impulsive/I wore every conceivable pin/Even went to the socialist meetings/Learned all the old union hymns/Ah, but I’ve grown older and wiser/And that’s why I’m turning you in.”
And again, I am much more relaxed because I'm beginning to see the hand of God in all that is happening. 45 statements of the manifesto? Who's the one that is defeating communism right now? President 45? I rest my case. Now the cats jumped up on my lap and is demanding attention. Later Gators.
Oh my goodness, reading through this list of 45 Stated Goals certainly reveals how successful these totally evil people have been. Thank you for bringing this to our attention
Hey Dutch, it's not just the law schools, it's every part of the college system. It doesn't matter if you are studying to be a doctor, engineer or teacher, you will have leftist ideology crammed down your throat until you shit a hammer and sickle.
Spot on man! I was enrolled in the journalism program @ UMD back in the ‘90's; I bailed when I discovered it was nothing more than inculcation into groupthink. Profs hated me anyway. I challenged them.
An old Colonel once told me that you must watch out for the four B's to have a long military career. Booze: drink too much and you'll mess up somewhere and you're done. Babes (Boys nowadays): Zipper control is a must (think Patraeus). Bitchin: Complainers don't prosper. Bucks: Manys the senior officer who gets cashiered for cheating on an expense account. I had to add Body Fat and make it five B's. I always give the five B's speech to new officers under me.....
Perhaps the silliest aspect is that almost certainly they had to have someone say: You know - you can just say it’s your residence….. We do it all the time. They wouldn’t have thought it up themselves.
I expect they are all FHA guaranteed loans and there is a no-fraud clause. Why doesn’t Pulte have FHA void them and call the loans for immediate payment? They are facially misrepresented and seem non-compliant.
I would prefer that they clean up their act. Where they err is with allowing obvious partisan comments in the entries regarding political persons. Their scientific articles seem to be accurate, but I am no scientist.
Besides Lisa Cook's mortgage fraud, there is an important issue that she engaged in plagiarism while earning her academic degrees, plus other weaknesses in her academic work. See these two related articles: https://www.dailywire.com/news/trouble-at-the-fed
The media has been ignoring this, but it shows a pattern of Lisa Cook crossing the line in a number of ways. If one were to look closely at her business affairs, there would probably be other offenses as well.
I always remember the quote by then Governor Edwin Edwards of Louisiana who was known to be very corrupt but kept being re-elected governor. "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with dead girl or a live boy." He went on to be re-elected. Bizarro world indeed.
"Innocent until proved guilty" applies here, of course, and it seems that she can't be fired except for cause. As someone pointed out elsewhere, Cook objects to the legality of her firing, but she hasn't claimed that the allegations are untrue.
If it is determined that she can't be fired until allegations are proved in court ("due process"), then have a speedy trial. She'll be found guilty, then fired for cause. Seems to me like that would be worse for her, especially as it would likely garnish considerable nation-wide news coverage. Resigning would carry less baggage.
I thought that I had read as much. So, multiple venue opportunities. Georgia looks best to me. Maybe Michigan. Though it has a Democrat governor, it tends to vote for Trump.
It does worry me as I recall a time this happened before when he had a family emergency. I am PRAYING that is not the case this time, and more akin to what you wrote.
Let me know if he responds to your email - I don’t want to inundate him with another.
Wow, Don, quite the deep dive you took here. Thanks for your research. But you could have summarized it thusly: She went Full Sparkle. You never want to go Full Sparkle.
Personally, I think that people who are naturalized citizens do not belong on any judicial benches. Nor should they be allowed to run for public office. Sorry, but the immigrants coming here for the past 30+ years are coming for the wrong reasons. They, in large part, are not coming to be "Americans". They bring their baggage with them and incorporate it into our legal and justice system. More vetting needs to be done on their family background. Too many sitting on the bench who are children of actual communists from other countries....but...that is most likely the goal of those who put them there....one step at a time until the American people wake up and wonder how they got to where they are.
I understand why you would say that, but there's no chance of it happening. Among the reasons is that the "vetting" is done by Congress, and whether someone with unusual views is confirmed seems to depend entirely on the two parties' representation. But -- as a consolation prize, prospects seem to be good for the Republicans being destined for a long-lasting majority.
I had written a long response to your reply to my comment. It failed to post. Substack is a strange format.
Hope springs eternal on not allowing immigrants to hold office or be judge. I dated a Honduran immigrant for 10 years…he would always say the he (who claimed to hate guns) would fight for this country and stopped saying that when I finally said “But you didn’t”….I did…His mother, here for 30+ years spoke but did not understand the English language. She would respond but then have to have it translated to understand what was said. We won’t even discuss how Southern Hemisphere immigrants recreate neighborhoods looking like the old country
I have been closely associated, staying in their home for 10-12 days a month, with a Baltic state and Russian family. None of them really understand what this country is about. The Russian asked me one time what I thought about the evidence for the Trump trials. I responded to him that he, of all people, should know that what was going on was nothing more than Stalin show trials. He just walked away. His MIL, who has been in this country for 20+ years got her citizenship because he asked her to…she doesn’t speak English…a thorn in my side since I am there every month.
We won’t even discuss the Chinese who, if they live in Sf or NYC, don’t bother to learn Chinese. I went to a recent party in MA where most of the guests were Chinese and was pleased that they were speaking English.
None of these people understand our Constitution or even, to be honest, think that we have culture….they think our culture is what Hollywood has told them…
The worst part is that they generally do not leave their method of doing business in the old country….they bring their ethnic hatreds and baggage with them…the worst infest our government, pawning themselves off as experts…
First of all I have to ask: what is your intention with "We won’t even discuss the Chinese who, if they live in Sf or NYC, don’t bother to learn Chinese."???
Aside from that, the people you mention who don't speak English, by that very fact could not qualify for serving on the Bench, if they even aspired to it, which doesn't sound likely. So why worry about them in this context?
For another perspective, throughout the history of this country there have always been communities that kept their original foreign language for some generations before assimilating. For a number of years I had a handyman who had grown up in an all-Finnish community in Michigan. He showed me his baptism certificate, all in Finnish, and he still knew the language even though he was born in this country. Nevertheless, he served this country in the Korean war.
Along similar lines, there have been German, Dutch, French, Italian-speaking communities too, but until they abandoned their native tongue for English, they would not have aspired to be judges anyway.
Now to wrap this up, why do you associate with all those foreigners if you dislike them so much?
I don't dislike them. I dislike that they are here for the wrong reasons, taking slots from people who want to come for the right reasons. I understand about keeping native languages alive...in their homes...I don't want to be listening to every language on earth except the English language in public.
Re judges who are immigrants: They seem to lack a coherence about the Constitution...their background too strongly influences them.
The curious bit in all this is that 9-0 ruling by the Supremes in favor of the agency appointee way back when. What was going on that the entire court agreed on a ruling that seems pretty outlandish?
I read that this woman not only lied in the mortgage application about the property being her “primary residence” but also rented the place out and didn't declared the rental income on her taxes. Maybe this was just part of the scam so she could claim it wasn’t rented out as it was her primary residence but this woman is a slimy crook. If proven true she does a long time in prison. Make an example out of her.
I read that she claimed one as her "primary" residence and another as her "principle" residence. I wonder if there is a legal difference. Given that lawyers live and die by definitions, that might come up.
Important and valuable article for the times we live in!
There is sooo much the Republican Congress could be doing in support of all the battles the President is being forced to fight on his own, but they are nowhere to be found.
They have enormous Constitutional power to codify his EO’s, to end the Democrat spending spree of taxpayer dollars over decades, to end mass mail-in ballots once and for all, to rein in and/or even eliminate district court judges, to accelerate confirmation of his nominees, and more.
They, along with the Democrats are stalling in hopes of waiting out this, his last term in office, in hopes of coming back with a true vengeance to wreak ever greater havoc on this nation and its people, and the world.
I pray God will send warrior angels into their lives to instill the most dreaded fear of Him deep into their souls for such defiance, to set them straight.
I believe in miracles, but moreso the power of Almighty God.
“ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
The absolute passivity of the RINO's is intolerable. As Trump and his excellent Cabinet forge ahead to save America, the contrast with the RINO's stands out clearer and clearer. The RINO's increasingly are under the "moral microscope". Something has to give.
Part of the problem is that the RINO's are not getting enough pressure inside their own state from their state GOP party apparatuses. Yes, I sound like a broken record, but MAGA needs to become dominant in the state party apparatuses. MAGA has already made some progress on this, but we need to take over. The state GOP party apparatuses are the "power base" of the RINO's. So long as the state parties "have their back", the RINO's will continue with their passive-aggressive lack of active support for Trump.
I believe some states have "recall power" over their US Senators and Reps, but I don't really have any concrete information on this. But it would be a good way of applying pressure to these (essentially treasonous) RINO's.
That has been a continual mystery to me, why the Trump administration has not made a more concerted effort to completely takeover the RNC and pressure the state GOP offices to get with program. They are riddled with all the “wrong” (RINO) people who are responsible for the crap Congress we’re stuck with.
Having Lara Trump head of the RNC during the campaign made a HUGE difference, and then she left, and then what? Back to business as usual?? It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Steve Pressler is a one-man RNC doing what they should be doing in every pocket of America, creating messaging campaigns and ground games. But, nope.
I think Trump has his hands full, and the composition of the state Party leadership is our job--the leadership has to stand for public election in the state, and WE have the power to organize to defeat the RINO's. These party-structure elected positions are similar to school board elected positions-- they happen under the radar (I believe they are on each state's regular public PRIMARY election ballots, and few people vote for those offices because they don't recognize any of the names (it's also like "magistrates" or "County commission offices"). Therefore, it would not be hard for us to educate ourselves and get involved to defeat RINO's in the state Party apparatuses.
It seems to me, if ever there were a court case in which the plaintiff had "no standing" (don't I sound like a lawyer?), it would be that Humphrey’s Executor lawsuit. And then to win... sheesh.
Humphrey's Executor arose from an attempt by FDR to fire an agency bigwig over a policy dispute. President Trump has fired Cook over unethical and criminal behavior, including failure to disclose on financial filings. He has just cause to fire Cook, but Humphrey's Executor protects Powell.
But doesn't the President have the authority to set policy? The President therefore must have authority to fire someone (such as Cook) if the federal employee won't support the President's policy.
There is something very fishy about that Humphrey's ruling.
(As to Powell as Chairman of the Fed, there seems to be an assertion that the President doesn't have authority over the CHAIRMAN of the Fed. I wonder if the legitimacy of the Fed's "independent" status needs to be addressed by the Supreme Court. It does seem inconsistent that the President has authority to fire a Governor of the Fed, but not the Chairman of the Fed.)
SCOTUS is (I think) treating the Fed as a creature of Congress under its authority to coin money and regulate its value. But it deferred to the President to appoint its leadership (ok) while restricting dismissal only for cause (not ok).
I'm sick & tired of these activist judges and people who absolutely know they've done wrong and don't have the guts to admit the error of their ways. I can't believe that one of these self- entitled judges thinks that CPS will be a better keeper of these children who were on their way home to Guatemala to be reunited with their actual families. Talk about completely out of control!

The reoccurring theme is petty thievery. The left scrapes the bottom of the barrel to appoint compliant operatives.

Great idea EODMOM !!
They've scraped so long the barrel no longer has a bottom.

If flagrantly and provably breaking the law is not cause for firing a government employee than what the heck is?
Could she actually murder someone and still not get fired?!
We live in a Bizarro world. Everyone’s lost their ever-loving minds.
I always remember the quote by then Governor Edwin Edwards of Louisiana who was known to be very corrupt but kept being re-elected governor. "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with dead girl or a live boy." He went on to be re-elected. Bizarro world indeed.

But Democrats never think these things through.
Yes but most likely the venue for her case would be in DC. We all know how that works out - and I’m sure, so does she.
Isn't one of her claimed residences in another state?
a house in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a condo in Atlanta, and a a condo in Cambridge, Massachusetts
I thought that I had read as much. So, multiple venue opportunities. Georgia looks best to me. Maybe Michigan. Though it has a Democrat governor, it tends to vote for Trump.
Hi TP!
Writing to you on Tuesday the 16th to see if you received your daily Don article, as I have not, nor can I find it on Substack app?
I always worry when that happens.
If you could respond to this “comment” to let me know I’d greatly appreciate it!
Amen! Time to PRAY! 🙏♥️🙏
Thanks TPG for responding!
It does worry me as I recall a time this happened before when he had a family emergency. I am PRAYING that is not the case this time, and more akin to what you wrote.
Let me know if he responds to your email - I don’t want to inundate him with another.
Appreciate very much!

Oh super! Thank you, and will do!! ♥️
The media is good at ignoring the criminal acts of the leftists. The only thing they are better at is spreading lies about conservatives.

Humphrey's Executor arose from an attempt by FDR to fire an agency bigwig over a policy dispute. President Trump has fired Cook over unethical and criminal behavior, including failure to disclose on financial filings. He has just cause to fire Cook, but Humphrey's Executor protects Powell.
But doesn't the President have the authority to set policy? The President therefore must have authority to fire someone (such as Cook) if the federal employee won't support the President's policy.
There is something very fishy about that Humphrey's ruling.
(As to Powell as Chairman of the Fed, there seems to be an assertion that the President doesn't have authority over the CHAIRMAN of the Fed. I wonder if the legitimacy of the Fed's "independent" status needs to be addressed by the Supreme Court. It does seem inconsistent that the President has authority to fire a Governor of the Fed, but not the Chairman of the Fed.)
SCOTUS is (I think) treating the Fed as a creature of Congress under its authority to coin money and regulate its value. But it deferred to the President to appoint its leadership (ok) while restricting dismissal only for cause (not ok).
