The president criticized the court’s decision to strike down his tariff authority and acknowledged a possible ruling against his birthright citizenship policy.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday harshly criticized both liberal and conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In a lengthy Truth Social post, he called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a “low IQ person” and rebuked the court’s conservative bloc.

"The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win," he said.

Trump also denounced the court’s 6-3 ruling that he lacks authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, calling the decision a “travesty.”

"Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents," he stated.

The president also raised concerns about a potential ruling against his effort to end birthright citizenship. Earlier this month, several justices appeared skeptical of the policy, and Trump acknowledged they “probably will” rule against it.

"Certain “Republican” Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they “supposedly” stood for," he said.

This is not the first time Trump has criticized the Supreme Court. In March, Chief Justice John Roberts broadly referenced hostility toward the court, saying, "It's got to stop."

This is the first president in my lifetime who I have seen have such open disdain for the Constitution and openly shows that loyalty to him is something he deems more important.

He also stated, and not for the first time, that no other nation has birthright citizenship. If you guessed that was a lie you would be correct..........

Here's where I'm confused.

FBI is alleging that SPLC funded the activities that they fought against, essentially working to create/maintain a problem that gave them increased relevancy.

SPLC is saying they paid informants (individuals) to gain inside knowledge of the organizations they were working against. This seems pretty easy to prove/disprove.


It's also been reported that SPLC had worked WITH the FBI on sharing information from this very same program.

I'll wait and see some proof. It could be true. It could be more "flooding the zone with excrement" and politicization/weaponizing of the DOJ. Claiming it is more likely one or the other at this stage - based on this administration so far ... would seem to be premature at best, foolish at worst.

Here are some other things people may wish to consider before jumping to conclusions from a quick AI search......

Here are the key charges brought by the Trump DOJ that have been dropped or dismissed:

James Comey (Former FBI Director) & Letitia James (NY Attorney General): Cases against both were dismissed in late 2025 by a federal judge who found that the appointment of the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawful.

Protesters and Political Adversaries: The DOJ has faced difficulties, with various charges against protestors and critics being dropped or failing to secure convictions, often due to lack of evidence or procedural failures in what critics describe as a "clown show of failed revenge cases".

Failed Prosecution of Security Officials: Initial efforts to prosecute former intelligence officials like John Brennan faced significant hurdles, including the removal of prosecutors who doubted the strength of the cases.

Key Procedural Failures:

Illegal Appointment: Judges found that Trump loyalists appointed to lead these investigations did not meet legal requirements, leading to dismissals.

Declined Prosecutions: Career prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia initially refused to file charges against Comey and James due to a lack of evidence, leading to the installation of less experienced lawyers to take over.

Revolving Door of Officials: High-ranking DOJ officials, such as Attorney General Pam Bondi, were replaced after failing to secure quick wins in these high-profile investigations.

Additional Stalled or Collapsed Actions

While not outright dismissals of indicted figures in the same vein, other retaliatory DOJ efforts have faced severe roadblocks or reversals in court:

Subpoenas Against Critics: A federal judge quashed subpoenas targeted at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

Additionally, a massive wave of grand jury subpoenas issued in a "perjury case" against former CIA Director John Brennan was abruptly rescinded by the DOJ after internal pushback and the removal of the lead career prosecutor.

Actions Against Law Firms: The DOJ abandoned its defense of executive orders that had attempted to sanction prominent law firms (such as Jenner & Block and WilmerHale) that had represented Trump's political opponents or challenged his policies. Lower courts had already ruled those targeted retaliatory orders were unlawful.

As such, accusations made by the DOJ should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you had paid attention you would have seen I stated it's too early to call it either way.


But please do go on as I'm sure you will.

I mean I get it. It doesn't take long until you miss me.

As far as considering "boy who cried wolf"? A bit early, eh?

You make that whole thing sound like failure after failure. It was literally one incident.

I can verify that and endorse this message.

The most recent attempts the DOJ has made at using hit pieces was nothing more than smear tactic allegations they couldn't even get indictments on. Those pertained to.....

Sen. Mark Kelly (Ariz.)
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)
Rep. Jason Crow (Colo.)
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.)
Rep. Chris Deluzio (Pa.)
Rep. Maggie Goodlander (N.H.)

They have a tendency of throwing around wild allegations that end up having no substance.

This may be more of the same or they may actually have a case. With their track record who knows at this point? But considering the last six times they've pretended to have the goods, I wouldn't get too giddy at this point.

At what point do you consider the strong possibility it may just be another The Boy Who Cried Wolf situation?

That's just job security, bro. What could be wrong with sowing constant hatred? It's the democratic way!

And you know how we know this is legit? Hakeem Jeffries is screaming like a baby that it's not.

I am planning a trip to visit Iceland for a week.

If anyone has had recent experience it would be helpful.

What not to miss?

What to miss?

Best way to get around? Mid range pricing for places to stay.

Anything that may be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced a bombshell 11-count fraud indictment accusing the Southern Poverty Law Center of secretly funding leaders and organizers of white supremacist, racist and other hate groups that the civil rights group claimed to be battling.

“The SPLC’s paid informants (‘field sources’) engaged in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website,” alleges the indictment returned by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court in Montgomery, Alabama, on Tuesday.

The SPLC, which is a nonprofit civil rights group, is charged with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud and one count of money laundering.

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals, some of whom were associated with the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America, the Aryan Nations-affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club and the American Front, said Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche at a press conference.

“The SPLC was not dismantling the groups,” said Blanche, as FBI Director Kash Patel stood at his side. “It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.”

“One troubling example, is the SPLC was paying a member of the leadership group that planned the Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, that resulted in the death of one person, and injured dozens more,” the acting attorney general said, noting that the indictment alleged that the group paid the person about $270,000 over the course of eight years.

The SPLC earlier Tuesday said it was the subject of a criminal probe by the DOJ, and that the focus of the probe appeared to be on the group’s prior use of paid, confidential informants “to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups.”

The group’s interim CEO, Bryan Fair, in a statement responding to Blanche’s press conference, said, “We are outraged by the false allegations levied against SPLC — an organization that for 55 years has stood as a beacon of hope fighting white supremacy and various forms of injustice to create a multi-racial democracy where we can all live and thrive.

“Taking on violent hate and extremist groups is among the most dangerous work there is, and we believe it is also among the most important work we do. To be clear, this program saved lives,” Fair said.

“SPLC will vigorously defend ourselves, our staff and our work; we will continue to fight hate; and we will continue to envision and create a safer and more just world,” he said.

FBI Director Patel in October said the FBI would sever ties with the SPLC, calling it a “partisan smear machine.”

Correction: This story has been revised to reflect that one group mentioned in the indictment is American Front. A previous version misspelled the name of the group.

OK it's been 10 days

What you lake in size is more than made up for by the size of your heart Babe.

Bump.

Still millions of missing files/pages from the Epstein files. Trump allegations all hidden and removed.

Funny how people will believe there is a paedophile sex ring with the Clintons out of a basement of a Pizza joint in Washington DC - or how the Clintons assassinate political rivals .... but when it comes to something that slaps you in the face, a poem about shared secrets and a signature from Donny .... there is disbelief.

Daman -

I think you go way, way overboard -- or you maybe fire from the hip not caring -- way too often. But - this post is dead nuts on the money.

- Iran was not 2 weeks away from a nuke.
- Either we didn't obliterate their capacity 9 months ago - or we lied to go to war. Take your pick. It's actually most probably both.
- Netanyahu definitely played Trump and led us into this war which he has tried to scaremonger us into for 20 years.
- There was no real plan and definitely no exit strategy when Iran didn't instantly capitulate - hence the empty threats and constant ratcheting up of rhetoric which is Trump's only play and he hasn't realized Iran does not care.
- Yes Hegseth is incompetent and has small man syndrome
- Firing the military and intelligence personnel was foolish and short sighted.
- 1000% get your allies on board before you launch an attack they all determine as illegal - and don't insult and demean them constantly when they stick to principals and adhere to international law.

Just saw this Ytown - very happy things were sounding so positive. Hope she is back to 100%

Another taco tuesday

No danger of me being accused of being a giraffe. A sloth or a koala maybe.

First of all I wouldn't have lied to the American people. I wouldn't have told anyone that Iran was 2 weeks away from a Nuke... That was clearly a lie..., Or, if you believe the moron when he said about 8 or so months ago that we had Obliterated their Nuclear Capabilities.. Which by the way tells me he lied either about 8 months ago, or he lied to start a war. I'll let you decide what he lied about.

This kinda "Kid Stuff" crap he's running makes him look more childlike than I'd like a President to be.

Then I'd have actually read the deal that came into play during the Obama Admin. If he had, he'd have found out that it contains all the assurances that Trumps been asking for. But you know Trumps ego.. He needed to make a splash.. He needed the deal to have his name on it, Not Obamas..

Clearly, he was Guided into this war by Netanyahu..... I support Israel but not their Leader. He's as big a disaster as Trump...

Lastly, I would never have gotten into a war without Clear Objectives and a Plan to attain that Objective.. And to be ready for that, I would NEVER have put a Cartoon character in charge of the Department of Defense... ( yeah, that's the official name) A man that doesn't know the difference between a bible verse and a Movie line.

And I wouldn't ever get rid of the Brain Power that Hegseth cut from the Military. Did you ever wonder what it costs to train a Military leader? This Moron tossed them out like dirty laundry... I wouldn't have allowed that to happen

What I would have done is exactly what Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden did. Especially Obama.. I would Trust But Verify. I would Trust my Military leaders to have a plan ready to activate in a moments notice,., And I'd have made Damn Sure we have our Allies on board before any action was taken....

I wouldn't have allowed my CIA or FBI or DoD to fire all the intel people on the Iran/Middle East Desk.;.. That was IDIOTIC.....(i suppose you weren't wondering why we didn't know about all the capabilities Iran had,, We'll that might be your answer.)

While your at it, why don't you take a look at the WPA.. War Powers Act.. look closely what it says a President can and can't do.. Match that with Trumps actions..

Trump bastardized that to mean what he wants it mean.. Not what it says.,,

Let me know if I answered your question.


Thank you for your attention to this matter! D

fate...understand that the entire story about Trump trying to access the nuclear codes might not be factual...the entire story could be a CIA "false flag event", meant to influence future negotiations between Iran and the USA.

Simply planting the seed gives Iran negotiators something else to think about while negotiating.

The story might be true...or it might not be true that Trump attempted to access the nuclear codes...regardless it could end up being used as a positive negotiating ploy by the USA/CIA.

Trump's comments about Obama in 2011......



Hmmmm.......

JUST IN: JD Vance’s Trip to Pakistan for Iran Peace Talks Delayed

Vice President JD Vance’s flight to Pakistan for fresh peace talks on the Iran war has reportedly not taken off as scheduled on Tuesday, raising new speculation over a peace deal with the regime.

CNN’s Alayna Treene reported that Vance will attend policy meetings at the White House on Tuesday, and will not travel to Islamabad as scheduled.

It’s currently unclear whether Vance’s trip will happen at all, sources told Treene.

“We don’t know if this trip is definitely off,” she told The Situation Room anchors Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. “All we do know is that it is definitely delayed and that we should expect to see now the vice president at the White House for meetings today, not leaving this morning on that plane as we had previously reported.”

Vance flew to Pakistan earlier this month to lead talks in Islamabad along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The VP said the Iranians refused to agree to the main point the Americans were seeking — an “affirmative commitment” the country will not pursue nuclear weapons.

The meeting failed to result in a deal being made.

“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” Vance said at the time. “And I think that’s bad news for Iran, much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.”

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/just-jd-vance-trip-pakistan-161035907.html

So much for Iran is "dying to make a deal".

So much for "Iran will never close the strait of Hormuz again".

So much for "Iran has agreed to everything".

Well, besides the fact that even MSN aggregated reports and expressed broad skepticism, many outlets have since reported that there wasn't even an emergency meeting scheduled or conducted on that date.


In other news, Biden and Kamala were having an affair. One dude said it so.....
