Trump secures $221 million in civil rights case against Columbia university.

Taking them down, one by one.

Yeah my kids did not have big problems dating and finding attractive good spouses. I think the problem is overstated but I did have to run off a couple loser guys pursuing my youngest daughter. She just got married on Sunday to a great guy from a great family. All four kids are married now and we have seven grandchildren, so far. My two sons each have two and will have one more child each. Oldest daughter has three and is done. Youngest daughter that just got married will have two I am guessing.

This is the dream.
Congratulations on raising your kids so well, that they managed to make good choices themselves later on.

Knowing Scott as I do. His kids didn’t have a choice

Trump endorsed candidates to the rescue.

Kamala won Maine 3 to 1 and also by 7% of popular vote. A purist MAGA candidate has no chance. You will get 100% of nothing.

Faisal Islam: Trump's tough tariff tactics is getting results

Following the deal with Japan, it could now be said that the aggressive approach to trade by Trump is yielding results.

It is a rather long list of failed Trump supported senate candidates - Hershel Walker, Kelly Tshibaka, Blake Masters, Adam Laxalt, Mehmet Oz, Don Bolduc, Leora Levy, and Gerald Malloy.

He actually lost in Georgia three times counting the damage done to the candidacies of Perdue and Loeffler when the true believers stayed home in the runoff because they were convinced by Trump and his minions that their vote would not count. Speaks to the dissatisfaction with the radical drift of the democrat party that the republicans have a majority in the senate.

A MAGA approved challenge should work out great in Maine.

Obama judge denies the DOJ's bid to unseal the Epstein documents.

Aren’t federal judges part of the dept. of justice? They can tell the Attorney General to stuff it?
The 9th circuit ruled that Trumps Executive Order on birth right citizenship is unconstitutional.

 

[bowjijohn]

I find his arguments compelling

Possibly even prophetic

This summer will be interesting

No...

The DOJ falls under the Executive Branch...

Federal Judges fall under the Judicial Branch..

House subpoenas Ghislaine Maxwell to testify.
I smell a pleading of the 5th amendment coming
She's already serving 22 years, so why would she say anything unless there was a deal on the table?

All of you TDS'ers underestimate the dynamic shift that is happening.
Places like California are a hopeless cause, but i feel other blue states could eventually be flipped in a positive direction.
RNC has to work diligently. It doesn't have to be a purist MAGA candidate, since that is word you guys are flinging around, but a GOOD candidate.

A little bit of hope, is better then nothing at all. Wink ..wink....

Concur..

Shes 63 and serving 20 years for crimes she was convicted of in a federal court.. which means she has to do every day of those 20 years.. shes served 3 so far and has 17 to go.. theres no time off for good behavior, no parole, etc.. She will very likely die in prison.. most people dont make it to 80 in the federal pen..

I dont believe anyone like Maxwell has the ability to feel convicted over their past transgressions.. if she felt guilty or ashamed, that would have come out during her trial... she didnt testify in her own trial..

So.. unless the govt has something to offer her.. I highly doubt shes going to offer anything to the government.. this is a clear case of nothing to lose, and everything to gain on Maxwell's part.. If they expect her to say something to Congress.. congress is going to have to give her something..

And I dont think Congress actually has the power or authority to give her anything she wants... they cant commute her sentence.. cant pardon her.. they cant even assign her to a different prison or arrange for preferential treatment, etc..

I believe there are certain protocols and procedure in place to unseal documents.?

I feel its just another dog & pony show to try and appease the masses that are clamoring for Epstein evidence.

Good, I don't agree with the 9th circuit most of the time, but this time it was the right call. It is not ambiguous at all. That whole argument that it was meant for ex-slaves is pure BS as the wording does not state that.

One can parse out the 2. Amendment multiple ways, this one is pretty straight forward.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

The anchor baby loophole is an ugly door that needs to be slammed shut......once and for all.

Agree except for the baby tourist loophole, I do think it was meant for ex-slaves but the authors had no way of knowing what would be transpiring today. How it is written no way around it.

Trump has taken away most of the incentives to walk across the border. And the Democrats are helping by saying how terrible they’re being treated and how barbaric the prisons are.

So far fewer anchor babies will be born here until another Democrat gets elected and starts back up the gravy train.

So Anchor babies are now pretty much a Moot point.
