“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.” —Ian Fleming Don’t you love the way the news media pretends it can’t figure out the motive of Cole Tomas Allen, who tried to shoot-up Saturday’s White House correspondents’ gala. He was a creation of the very White House correspondents who ducked under their tables at the sound of his shots. Cole Tomas Allen had digested and internalized the “narrative” spewage of the Democratic Party’s propaganda department. MSNOW occupied his brain like a glistening parasite. CBS tried to amplify the shooter’s own motive on Sunday night’s 60 Minutes show when Norah O’Donnell…

President Donald Trump threatened that if Iran attempts to dig out its destroyed nuclear facilities, he will order new strikes on the sites.  “We’ll get that at some point, whenever we want. We have it surveilled,” Trump said on Full Measure. “I did a thing called Space Force, and they are watching. If somebody walked in, they can tell you his name, his address, the number of his badge … If anybody got near the place, we will know about it, and we’ll blow them up.” Iran has around 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium. While the location of the…

I was six when I first saw the Declaration of Independence. There, in its old marble shrine in the Rotunda of the National Archives, it seemed as powerful to me as the Ten Commandments. Around me, people of all ages stood transfixed, straining to make out the faint words and signatures. Once I had stared in awe at the dim parchment, my parents took me to the gift shop and bought me an “antiqued” copy, printed on golden-brown, crinkly paper. I pinned it up on my bedroom wall and can still remember its sweet-sour aroma. When I looked up at…

Iran said that it would respond with “heavy attacks” if the US continues to strike its ships. Last week, President Donald Trump escalated enforcement of the blockade on Iran by attacking its vessels.  A statement published by the Iranian military on Saturday explained, “Any attack on Iranian tankers and commercial vessels will result in a heavy attack on one of the American centres in the region and enemy ships.” Tehran issued the statement following the US attack and disabling two Iranian-flagged tankers on Friday. The vessels were attacked as part of the enforcement of the blockade of Iranian ports.  Trump…

Last week, the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated the new maps by a 4-3 vote. The Virginia Attorney General has signaled he will seek emergency relief with the United States Supreme Court based on the independent legislature theory. I agree with Rick Hasen that this argument will not work under Moore v. Harper. This case did not “arrogate” the power of the legislature. I am not an expert in this area of law, but the majority opinion seems persuasive, and at a minimum seems well within the bounds of a judicial decision. Are there any other options remaining for Virginia democrats? I…
