BZ’s Saloon, 03.01.25: Trump’s Restoration & Happy Stories!

Posted on by

On this rare Saturday evening edition of BZ‘s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show:

It’s the TRUMP RESTORATION, not some limp-wristed “counter-revolution.”

The worlds of Demorats, Leftists, Globalists, and Europe are falling apart, while the US begins to stand up for itself.

Plus: MORE Happy Stories than you can shake a dead Meerkat at!

As BZ stated during the program:

What we are witnessing is completely unprecedented in modern times, a full and utter re-writing of American Politics, much less Global Politics – because what is occurring on US terra firma is being replicated, to a disturbing degree, as far as Europe is concerned, all around the world.

And the DLG, Demorats, Leftists, and Globalists are shocked, gobsmacked, caught short, and screaming like the elite pigs they are over the fact that their own Free Shit Spigot is in the process of being turned to the right, literally and figurately.

It is far past high time, but the proverbial New Sheriff is in town, and he is done being anyone’s bitch any more. He is standing up for not just the United States of America, but the American Taxpayer as well – who funds the entire planet.

We’ve discovered this via USAID, via numerous audits, via DOGE, and via the verbiage and attitudes displayed by Europe, the UK, the EU, regarding their own oppression of their people, their tyranny, their censorship, and their arrogance beyond belief. Ungrateful whelps, about 95% of them.

Let’s the blunt. The only reason the bulk of these countries exist today in any semblance of civilization, is due to the blood spilled by American soldiers, the Marshall Plan, and the extreme generosity and benevolence bestowed upon these countries NOT by the US government – which doesn’t produce any money at all, but spends it exorbitantly – but by the goodwill, sometimes voluntarily, but primarily forced by said American Taxpayer.

I’ve always said that, if you want a tax revolt, just make individuals and families pay taxes like businesses. Pay quarterlies. Only then will people wake up and begin to realize just how MUCH they are paying in taxes, and perhaps begin to understand the correlation between those taxes and how horribly the US government pisses away the cash from which you are fleeced.

The most brilliant move in the world, back in 1943, was the government’s instigation of income tax withholding. As late as 1939, less than 4 million individual tax returns were filed, out of a total population of about 140 million people. And more importantly, the total taxes owed amounted to less than 4% of their income. Can you imagine? 4 percent?

It was Congress that passed the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943, which required employers to withhold employee income tax.

Fast forward to now when, at slightly over one month with President Trump in office, American citizens, Europe, South America, Central America, Canada, Mexico, are finally beginning to see that – not only is the free ride ending, but we want you off the ride and exiting the amusement park.

Because for the American Taxpayer, and those adults currently in charge, the days of bending to the will of an overbearing DC government — and to the wills of those foreign nations who have been trained, like zoo animals, to open their mouths with expectant smacking sounds, and demand feedings at certain times of the day, packaged beautifully, only the finest cuts of meat allowed, are winding down.

And the animals are howling, yelling, screaming and, like baboons, throwing their shit not only around their self-created cages, but at the zookeepers who cart out the prime cuts every day, on schedule, like clockwork.

Who does that? We do. Our hard-earned American Tax Dollars are forcibly removed from our paychecks, our couches are turned upside down for the remaining pennies, we feed and fund the planet, other countries, and the animal recipients complain that we don’t move fast enough, provide just the right napkins, we don’t cut their vittles into the proper bite-sized chunks, bitch about the lack of condiments, improper seasoning, poor presentation, and insufficient deference to their important personal dietary requirements.

There’s a reason the US Fish and Wildlife Service has said for multiple decades, “don’t feed the bears.” And in the zoos too. Why not?

Because it makes them lazy, dependent, fat, and potentially quite violent when they understand they’re no longer getting their way. “What? Me having to work? Now? Figure out how to provide for myself? Defend myself? No way.”

In summary, they, like Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are arrogant and ungrateful motherfuckers who, as I said, have been absolutely trained by prior administrations to demand more, harder, faster, better, sooner, wider, higher quality, and be quick about it.

And when the Free Cheese Ride is ending –- when those who are paying the freight are finally beginning to say “whoa, whoa, whoa there. What the hell is going on? Why is everyone doing great, but I’m getting kicked in the nuts?”

Yes, getting kicked in the nuts, by unthankful and ungracious nations, organizations, agencies, all around the planet, whose only rallying cries are “pay more, keep the checks coming, shut up, and work harder.”

And I am, like I hope you are, really damned tired of that shit. Particularly in light of what has been exposed via DOGE, USAID, and now peeks under the hoods and into the closets of the Social Security Administration, the Pentagon, the IRS, and the rest of the herd.

Because these assholes, engorged as they are on American Taxpayer Dollars, are precisely like Mr Creosote from Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life.”

No matter how swollen, no matter how sated and overstuffed they are, they always demand “one more wafer-thin mint,” delivered on the requisite silver platter, by the properly-coiffed and suited butler, in white gloves, perfect doily, and with extreme deference.

It should truly be no shock that the zoo animals are rebelling and throwing their own poop, and that of the other outraged animals. They’re all Mr Creosote. Volodymyr Zelenskyy amongst them.

Zelenskyy, the EU, and the rest of the organizations –- to include our very own Perpetually Enraged Machine, the Demorats — with hands still extended, are beginning to think that the American Host is becoming aware of being surrounded by all the parasites.

And that’s accurate. Zelenskyy is no more different than the rest of the trained, barking harbor seals around the planet, with mouths open, like Malcolm McDowell in “A Clockwork Orange.”                                                      

The corruption, on every level, has been so long in terms of time, the fraud, waste, and abuse so wide, so deep, so endemic, the money from hard-earned American Taxpayer Dollars so ridiculously stupid and nonsensically spent, the amounts so incomprehensible, that actual Americans are having a difficult time trying to understand how readily they’ve been assfucked for so many decades and why, to this point, no one has done anything remotely serious about it.

Why did it take Donald John Trump, OMB, Orange Man Bad, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, to ask everyone into the tent? Black, white, pink, purple, burnt umber, cerulean, he didn’t care.

Why did it take Donald John Trump, OMB, Orange Man Bad, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, to seal the border, when everyone knew it absolutely had to be sealed, but no one did a thing? Mouth music only. Flapping lips. Flecks of spittle. But zero action.

And why did it take Donald John Trump, OMB, Orange Man Bad, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, to examine DOGE and say “great idea, let’s start cutting the fat from these agencies and positions, and start helping out the real hero on the entire planet, The American Taxpayer?”

Why, indeed? Because everyone else was supping at the trough, both sides of the aisle, with their own favorite pet projects, pork, largesse, and they were all the benefactors.

Because the Gaslighting is wearing off. People are beginning to see that the obvious is, in fact, the obvious. Meaning: the louder some person or group or organization or religion or NGO or agency complains, it’s their Fiscal Ox getting gored, and the louder the cry, the deeper the sword thrust.

Which I think is absolutely glorious. Because the standard Mark I, Model I Leftist buzzwords come flying out of gullets again, like “our democracy,” and “unconstitutional,” and “unfair,” and “Hitler,” and “dictator,” and “we didn’t elect him,” and all the rest of the verbal vomitus concomitant with their massive grifts having been exposed to the light of day.

And the fact that we, the American Taxpayer, are finally reminded to don our cowboy boots, so we can squish the roaches and beetles scurrying to the once-safe corners of the realm.

So let’s go back to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a moment. Because he had, if you think about it, a shockingly-simple task yesterday.

So simple, in fact, that only an incompetent like Zelenskyy could manage to pull defeat out of the jaws of such a pre-arranged victory.

Which continues to prove: he’s the poster child for how to fuck up a wet dream.

It’s exactly like an interview for a well-paying job you really want:

  • Show up on time
  • Wear a suit
  • Be respectful
  • Say “yes sir” and “no sir”
  • Answer the questions
  • Be positive
  • Don’t try to overtalk the interviewer
  • Don’t lecture
  • Be grateful
  • Take your victory, no lap
  • Shut up
  • Leave expeditiously

The employer has something YOU want. HE is sitting in the catbird seat. Not you.

A little humility goes a long way. Arrogance and confrontation gets your stupid, black, Castro-wanna-be uniform kicked out of the White House. Especially if you insult the Vice President of the United States, calling him a “bitch” — suka — in Russian.

The American Media Maggots, and of course the EuroSlut press, were all clutching their pearls and searching for the nearest fainting couch, when Trump and Vance stood up for America. It was no more complicated than that, as far as they were concerned. What horrible barbarians.

Trump is dealing primarily with Ukraine. Zelenskyy is a temporary rep. And what if things were a bit more complicated? What if you had never read “The Art of the Deal”? And what if Patton had never read Erwin Rommel’s book on tank war?

You’ve noticed a change in Trump, I’m sure, since he came within a fraction of an inch of being assassinated on live television last June. He has been more circumspect, more cognizant of his mortality. And, if you’ve noticed, a lot more deliberate and yet calmer in his speech. Until yesterday.

Some say Trump and Vance were just thugs. I wonder. Maybe they suspected that Zelenskyy was going to continue to NOT read the room, NOT read the prevailing political prairie winds, NOT read the tea leaves or the current temper of the times. And so, because he’d managed to bulldoze Joe Biden, did he think he could mastermind the situation, in America’s house, on live television, and illustrate what a forceful and powerful leader he was?

Zelenskyy has a goal. He wants NATO.

When Zelenskyy began appealing to the emotions of the American people, JD Vance stepped in, accusing him of disrespecting Donald Trump. This was brilliant strategy. It’s important to understand that Zelenskyy is trying to gain access to NATO.

But remember: If Ukraine joins NATO, the US would have to defend Ukraise, if Ukraine were attacked, via NATO agreements. The defense of Ukraine would necessitate direct conflict with Russia. Russia, not being the smoothest of strategists, and lacking personnel and equipment, would like have China come to its aid.

Now we’d be fight a direct war and a proxy war with both Russia and China.

Putin has indicated that Russia would never sign a peace treaty if Ukraine, another border state, got admitted into NATO.

We have to remember that Demorats met with Zelenskyy prior to the meeting, live, with Trump. They, I’m sure, blew up his skirts and told him what a brave and powerful man he was. Go in there and show Trump who’s boss.

Will Zelenskyy come back to the US, hat in hand? I don’t think so. Will he survive politically back home in Ukraine? Unknown.

Will we get a rare earth metals deal – beneficial to Apple’s Tim Cook and his half a trillion-dollar investment here in the US? Unknown. But if we do, and American corporate interests are on the ground, Russia would be stupid to attack. Not saying it wouldn’t occur.

Zelenskyy doesn’t want to come back and humble himself. So it appears he’s going to make a world tour with outstretched hands and open mouth.

People continue to forget about President Trump’s background. Negotiations are his environment. It’s not about what you say immediately. It’s all about the deal. Read his damned book. This is all a series of steps, towards a goal. A statement, a feint, a threat, maybe making good on threats, a feint, a removal of a threat, coercion, manipulation, all the elements of conducting serious deals.

It’s as if Demorats, Leftists, and Globalists think it’s fundamentally “unfair” to utilize your requisite training, education, and experience over your foes or adversaries in a given deal or situation.

Everything is strength, coercion, politics, manipulation. And lessons have to be learned, or you’re a victim in perpetuity.

That’s how Life works. Because Life is tough. It’s tougher if you’re stupid and unaware of reality.

One statistical truth about illegal aliens in the US

Posted on by

The LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots — are the last conglomeration wishing you to know the truth about illegal invaders assaulting US borders. As USBP authorities have said, “they’ve never seen it this bad.”

The border issue is a “manufactured crisis,” as you well know, according to the LDAMM.

If that’s not bad enough — complicated by the fact that the LDAMM have no intention whatsoever of fixing it any of the border issues or assisting President Trump in the slightest — here is an extremely inconvenient truth about illegals. From the not-paragon-of-right-leaning virtue, TheHill.com:

Most illegal aliens routinely commit felonies

by Ronald Mortensen

Two new studies, one from The Sentencing Project and one from the libertarian Cato Institute, reported that the percentage of immigrants committing crimes is lower than that of United States citizens. However, the underlying methodology used in each was critically flawed.

It is possible that legal immigrants commit crimes at a rate lower than U.S. citizens and that they are incarcerated at a lower rate than U.S. citizens. After all, legal immigrants are well vetted, and if they have criminal records in their countries of origin they are generally ineligible for admission to American.

The same cannot be said for illegal aliens because virtually all adult, illegal aliens commit felonies in order to procure the documents they need to get jobs, to drive and to obtain other benefits that are restricted to U.S. citizens. 

Stop. Let’s cease mincing words. Entering the United States illegally is in fact, eh, illegal. Hence, it is a crime. That’s the definition of the word.

il·le·gal
/i(l)ˈlēɡəl/
adjective
  1. contrary to or forbidden by law, especially criminal law.

It is also illegal to acquire false documents in order to continue your life — illegally — in the United States when you should not be here in the first place. Words having meaning, you see.

The vast majority of illegal aliens use fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers.  They possess fake drivers’ licenses, phony “green cards,” fraudulent birth certificates and any other documents that U.S. citizens and legal residents have.  In addition, they falsify I-9 forms under penalty of perjury. Thus, the average illegal alien routinely commits multiple felonies -forgery, Social Security fraud, identity theft, and perjury.

This criminal activity is routinely swept under the rug in order to protect the myth of the law abiding illegal alien. However, when pushed, even the strongest supporters of illegal aliens are forced to acknowledge that the vast majority of illegal aliens commit multiple felonies. 

Wait for it.

In fact, the Social Security Administration and New York Times report that approximately 75 percent of illegal aliens have fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers which is a felony. The ACLU accepts this figure and uses it to show that illegal aliens pay payroll taxes.

Furthermore, the Los Angeles Times reports that up to 8 million of 11.1 million (72 percent) illegal aliens commit job-related felonies. La Raza says that illegal aliens contribute $15 billion annually in Social Security payments through payroll taxes [by using illegally obtained Social Security numbers – felony].

Mexican-born American journalist (actually Caucasoid eschewing, race-baiting Mexican Pimp himself – BZ) Jorge Ramos admits that many illegal aliens use “fake” documents (a felony).

You can’t leave Kalifornia out of the equation.

Even the president of the California State Senate admitted this month that “half” of his family “would be eligible for deportation under [President Trump’s] executive order, because if they got a false Social Security card, if they got a false identification, if they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB60, if they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members, you know, who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification (felonies).”

This is, to be even more blunt, continuing evidence to indicate that the LDAMM have absolutely no problem with cherry picking precisely what laws they wish to obey and what laws they won’t.

When the day arrives — and trust me, with a continuing embracement of this pattern — that others decide, en masse, what laws they too will hold or cast aside, the LDAMM will be the first to complain. Say, if entire county or state law enforcement agencies decide to not enforce any and all anti-Second Amendment laws.

Finally, another inconvenient reminder as well: that statistics tend to skew, naturally, up when the illegal population itself increases.

Clearly, the numbers are worse now and becoming more execrable.

Chief Justice Roberts: “no bias in our courts”

Posted on by

Oh please. Of course there is. I fell off the turnip truck, well, seven decades ago.

This issue came front and center when the Northern District of California (kissing cousins to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals) in San Francisco ruled, once again, against President Trump on behalf of individuals who have not yet even set foot in this country — giving precedence to potential illegals over actual American taxpaying citizens. From TheWashingtonTimes.com:

Trump vows to battle judges after latest immigration court defeat

by Stephen Dinan

President Trump vowed to retaliate Tuesday against liberal judges on the West Coast who he said appear to have it in for him, commenting hours after an Obama-appointed judge delivered yet another legal spanking to the administration on immigration policy.

“I’m going to put in a major complaint, because you cannot win if you’re us,” Mr. Trump said at the White House, facing reporters just before jetting off for a Thanksgiving holiday in Florida.

An interesting point. Another good point is coming.

He said he’s fed up with his opponents’ ability to file cases in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a set of notoriously liberal courts that have ruled against Mr. Trump on everything from the travel ban to sanctuary cities to this latest ruling Tuesday morning blocking his asylum crackdown.

Mr. Trump predicted he will eventually prevail on the asylum case when it reaches the Supreme Court, just as he did after a long back-and-forth on the travel ban.

It was well known in law enforcement arenas that, at one point, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals had an 85+ percentile overturn rate. One of my department’s cases, based upon a general order I had written regarding pursuits, went through the 9th Circuit and was overturned by SCOTUS in County of Sacramento v Lewis.

“That’s not law. That’s not what this country stands for. Every case that gets filed in the 9th Circuit, we get beaten,” he said.

Once out, the statement was taken and splattered throughout American Media Maggot territory. “How dare President Trump rail against our sacred courts?!” the Maggots bleated. “Sinner! Apostate! Impious liar!”

Except that it had happened before. Barack Hussein Obama set precedent when he called out the US Supreme Court to their faces in his January 27th, 2010 State of the Union speech, accusing them of “getting it wrong” on free speech regarding the Citizens United case.

When he said that, Ginsburg woke from her sleep, Sotomayor looked up and Alito frowned and shook his head. At least Trump didn’t invite the justices into Congress just to hock a loogie into their collective faces on television.

For even having shaken his head, Associate Justice Samuel Alito was taken to task immediately by said AMM. Alito dared to “shake his head” and “mouth the words ‘not true’.” Apostate! Heretic! Sinner! Impious liar! How dare you make Squinty Face and go against The Anointed One??

TheHill.com continues with our story.

A judge from the Northern District of California, which has cases appealed to the Ninth Circuit, dealt the administration another legal setback this week by blocking the order denying the asylum. Both courts are based in San Francisco.

U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar late Monday (November 20th) sided with opponents of Trump’s policy prohibiting certain immigrants from claiming asylum, granting their request for a temporary restraining order. 

“Whatever the scope of the President’s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,” Tigar wrote in his 37-page ruling.

Trump on Tuesday dismissed Tigar without naming him, referring to him as “an Obama judge.” Tigar was nominated by the former president in 2012.

The Ninth Circuit, based in San Francisco, has frustrated Trump repeatedly by ruling against his proposed travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, and a Department of Justice effort to cut off federal funding for so-called sanctuary cities.

Hence, the president’s comments.

Chief Justice John Roberts then decided to weigh in on Trump’s comments. “This is CNN.”

The problem was that, in response, many people happened to believe and say that Chief Justice Roberts was himself quite in error.

But first, let’s start with this story from April of 2017 involving — wait for it — bias on behalf of judges. In this instance, a federal judge with a bias for Barack Hussein Obama.

Judge Who Blocked Trump Sanctuary City Order Bundled $200K for Obama

Federal Judge William Orrick III, who on Tuesday blocked President Trump’s order to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities, reportedly bundled hundreds of thousands of dollars for President Barack Obama.

Orrick, of the Northern District of California, issued an injunction against the Trump administration after the city of San Francisco and county of Santa Clara sued over the president’s plan to withhold federal funds from municipalities that harbor illegal immigrants.

But wait, there’s more.

As FoxNews.com reported:

The ruling from U.S. District Judge William Orrick III in San Francisco said that Trump’s order targeted broad categories of federal funding for sanctuary governments, and that plaintiffs challenging the order were likely to succeed in proving it unconstitutional. 

The decision will block the measure for now, while the federal lawsuit works its way through the courts.

The news comes on the heels of the Department of Justice threatening on Friday to cut off funding to eight so-called “sanctuary cities,” unless they were able to provide proof to the federal government that they weren’t looking the other way when it came to undocumented immigrants.

Nah. What bias?

The same judge issued a restraining order in 2015 against the advocacy group responsible for undercover videos purporting to show Planned Parenthood employees plotting to sell baby organs.

At the time, The Federalist found that Orrick raised at least $200,000 for Obama and donated more than $30,000 to groups supporting him.

Orrick, 63, also raised money for the failed presidential bid of then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in 2004.

In 2015, President Obama vowed to veto legislation that would have cracked down on sanctuary cities.

Judicial Watch also reported that Obama’s Justice Department granted more than $340 million to sanctuary municipalities as of 2016.

But hey. Remember: judges aren’t biased. Chief Justice Roberts says so. And you can take that to the bank.

First, from Joseph diGenova, former USA for the District of Columbia from 1983 to 1988, at FoxNews.com:

Justice Roberts’ attack against President Trump was blatantly political and wrong

by Joseph diGenova

In a remarkably inappropriate and blatantly political statement Wednesday, U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts chastised President Trump for the president’s quite accurate criticism of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and its rogue district and appellate court judges.

The spectacle of the ostensibly nonpolitical chief justice engaged in a dispute with the president of the United States is insulting to the Supreme Court and to our system of justice.

Shame on the chief justice. What he did is unforgivable, especially after the corrosive Senate confirmation battle over now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was the subject of bitter and baseless partisan attacks and character assassination by Senate Democrats.

With everyone looking for ways to remove the high court from the political thicket, Roberts strode arrogantly right into it. Sad day.

Wait for it.

But President Trump’s criticism of liberal judges in the 9th Circuit who were nominated by President Obama was accurate. These judges previously issued an order blocking the president’s Travel Ban Executive Order that was designed to protect our country from terrorists crossing our borders. As President Trump correctly noted, the Supreme Court later overturned the ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Roberts’ comments seemed particularly strange because he had never injected himself into a political debate before.

Stand by:

In fact, Roberts sat quietly through President Obama’s 2010 State of the Union Address when Obama sharply attacked Supreme Court justices sitting in the audience for their ruling in the Citizens United case, which allowed unlimited political campaign contributions by unions and corporations.

President Obama falsely claimed in this speech that the Citizens United ruling allowed massive political contributions by foreign corporations. It did no such thing.

As the justices sat in the House chamber listening to his speech, President Obama embarrassed the court directly and fiercely. Not a peep from Roberts. Only Justice Samuel Alito quietly mouthed to himself “no, no” as Obama railed against foreign campaign contributions.

Roberts has said nothing about Obama’s remarks in the eight years since.

So why did Roberts attack President Trump on Wednesday? Well, Trump is not a Democrat.

You want bias? There it is. Right there. Timing makes a difference and, as far as I am concerned, there are no longer any “coincidences.”

I’m on a roll. How can I stop the story?

Many believe that Roberts caved to political criticism by President Obama and his Democratic cohorts in a case where Roberts was the decisive vote in a ruling that found ObamaCare was constitutional – a historic victory for Democrats.

Roberts clearly accepted the claim by Democrats in that case that the Supreme Court could not overturn ObamaCare or the high court would forever harm the republic and subvert the legislative process and the will of the people.

It is widely believed that Roberts changed his vote at the last minute to stop the Supreme Court from overturning ObamaCare in that landmark case because of pressure from outside forces directed against him.

Indeed, the wording of various dissents in the ObamaCare case – especially Justice Antonin Scalia’s – made it clear that Roberts’ decision to find that ObamaCare was constitutional was political and nothing more – not a decision based on the Constitution or on the law.

The ObamaCare ruling was a legacy opinion for Roberts because he couldn’t take another wave of criticism like what he received from the liberal media, Obama and the Democrats after his ruling in the Citizens United case. Roberts caved in an obvious nod to the attacks on him. It was palpable and most unfortunate.

Roberts’ ObamaCare opinion had a quality of “oh by the way” and artificiality to it that was apparent to Supreme Court observers.

So Roberts’ pro-Democratic bias that we saw Wednesday is nothing new. It is, in fact, a repetition and a return to normal for him.

Then, of all people, Mark Thiessen from the WaPo.com wrote:

Marc Thiessen: Chief Justice Roberts is wrong. We do have Obama judges and Trump judges.

For someone trying to demonstrate that the judiciary is not political, getting into a political fight with the president sure is a funny way to do it.

After President Trump called a judge who ruled against him an “Obama judge,” Chief Justice John Roberts issued an extraordinary public rebuke of the president, declaring in statement “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.” Roberts was not only wrong to speak out, but also his claim that there are no Obama judges or Trump judges was wrong.

If we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Senate Republicans block President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in the final year of Obama’s term? And why did Democrats filibuster Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, to fill Scalia’s seat?

Facts in evidence.

Even Roberts’s fellow justices know there is a difference. If there were no Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Anthony Kennedy wait for Trump’s election to announce his retirement?

I submit that Kennedy’s retirement wasn’t “pro-Trump.” It was simply this: he’d had enough of the bullshit on both sides.

And why doesn’t Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just retire now and let Trump nominate her replacement? Because they both want a president who would appoint a successor who shares their judicial philosophy. (And, lo and behold, Trump appointed a former Kennedy clerk, Brett Kavanaugh, to succeed him).

The American people know that Roberts is wrong. In the 2016 election, exit polls showed that 70 percent of voters said Supreme Court appointments were either the most important or an important factor in deciding their vote. And polls show that Republicans expanded their Senate majority in 2018 in large part because conservative voters were angered over the left’s brutal campaign of character assassination against Kavanaugh.

There is an “ideal” of course. But it is — after having served seven decades on this planet — simply pie-in-the-sky. Purple clouds. Unicorns. Tiaras by My Little Pony.

Roberts is correct that we should not have “Trump judges” or “Obama judges.” It would be better for the country if every judge, regardless of which president nominated him or her, strictly interpreted our laws and the Constitution. But the reality is that not all do. While conservative presidents tend to nominate judges who exercise a philosophy of judicial restraint — follow our laws as written — liberal presidents tend to nominate judicial activists who legislate from the bench and shape the law to reach their preferred outcomes. The left believes in a “living Constitution,” which can be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean without being formally amended.

Stand by for truth.

Democratic presidents have been much more successful than Republicans in nominating judges who hew to their judicial philosophy. Over the past three decades, nearly half of all Republican Supreme Court nominees have either become “swing votes” (Sandra Day O’Connor, Kennedy) or defected to the court’s liberal bloc entirely (David Souter). Even Roberts has joined the court’s liberal bloc at key times, abandoning his judicial philosophy that judges should not legislate from the bench to provide the swing vote to uphold ObamaCare.

Grok this concept:

By contrast, not one liberal justice during the past three decades has defected to the conservative bloc or turned into a regular swing vote.

Let me repeat at the risk of being repetitive:

By contrast, not one liberal justice during the past three decades has defected to the conservative bloc or turned into a regular swing vote.

Whoopsie. Damned facts. Thiessen continues:

Trump is right, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a disgrace. This is the court that ruled that the phrase “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional, that the Second Amendment doesn’t recognize an individual right to bear concealed arms and that bans on assisted suicide are unconstitutional.

Wait for it again.

This is why it is so important that Trump has nominated, and the Senate has confirmed, a record number of district and circuit court judges — and why liberals are aghast at the pace of Trump’s judicial confirmations. As former Hillary Clinton adviser Ronald Klain complained, “Trump’s judicial nominees will be deciding the scope of our civil liberties and the shape of civil rights laws in the year 2050 — and beyond.” Everyone, left and right, knows that Roberts is wrong.

Thiessen wraps with this:

Rolling around in the rhetorical mud with Trump is not just bad form; it also undermines the very judicial independence Roberts is seeking to uphold.

Then there was this in Florida about the elections:

Obama-appointed judges take charge in disputed Florida, Georgia elections

by S.A. Miller & Alex Swoyer

Anyone wondering why Senate Republicans are so intent on approving President Trump’s judicial picks need look no further than Georgia and Florida, where three Obama-appointed jurists have taken charge of ballot counting.

U.S. District Judge Mark Walker ruled Thursday that thousands of ballots that failed to strictly follow the rules can still be tallied in Florida — a decision hailed by Democrats as putting the Senate race within their grasp.

In Georgia, two federal judges in separate cases ruled in favor of tallying previously discounted ballots, again winning cheers from Democrats hoping to close the gap in a closely watched race for governor.

And this:

“It tells us that federal court judges are politically driven when rendering decisions,” said Wellesley College political science professor Nancy S. Scherer, author of “Scoring Points: Politicians, Activists and the Lower Federal Court Appointment Process.”

She said the same dynamic was at play during the Florida recount in the 2000 presidential race, when the U.S. Supreme Court split along party lines in a ruling that decided the election of Republican George W. Bush over Democrat Al Gore.

“In fact, they do this with all of their cases, not just the decisions on election outcomes,” Ms. Scherer said.

That is why the Senate Republican leadership made a priority of reshaping the federal judiciary with a conservative bent during Mr. Trump’s first two years.

Hello? Earth to Reality? Nothing that a Demorat president wouldn’t have done had they been in the Oval Orifice. This is obvious. It’s why presidents get changed out in the Oval Office. People get tired of one or the other.

Then this opinion piece from Robert Charles:

Trump is right about biased judges; Schumer acknowledges ‘highly political’ rulings

Like a basketball player who mistakenly shoots into his own basket and scores points for the opposing team, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York has inadvertently backed President Trump’s accurate contention that there are liberal judges appointed by Democrats and conservative judges appointed by Republicans who rule differently on cases.

After President Trump criticized U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar of San Francisco on Tuesday for issuing an order to stop Trump’s new emergency restrictions on asylum claims by immigrants from taking effect – calling Tigar “an Obama judge” – Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts issued a rare public statement rebuking the president.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Roberts said Wednesday. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.”

Schumer piled on, criticizing President Trump in a Friday tweet: “I don’t agree very often with Chief Justice Roberts, especially his partisan decisions which seem highly political …. But I am thankful today that he – almost alone among Republicans – stood up to President Trump and for an independent judiciary.”

Wowzer. See what Schumer did there?

OK, stop and think about that tweet. If Schumer calls Roberts a Republican and believes the chief justice issues “partisan decisions which seem highly political” he is corroborating President Trump. The New York Democratic senator sank one for the president.

Further, from Charles:

President Trump’s observation about the 9th Circuit undercuts respect for rulings from that circuit, but the truth hurts. As the old saying goes, “facts are stubborn things.”

Here, the facts are with President Trump, if you look at the numbers. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals – where I served as a law clerk many years ago – has swung incontrovertibly to the left over the past 30 years.

Thomas Homan, former Acting Director of ICE, responded to Harris Faulkner:

Suggestion to John Roberts: get off your high horse. The altitude doesn’t suit you. And people can smell the stench of a lie miles away. Yes, certainly we “get” that you have to Support Your Black Robes, all well and good.

But stop with the faux umbrage. It just doesn’t suit you.
