 The International Association of  Professional People Who Stare at Paintings: 

 

The IAPPWSP has announced the discovery and authentication of the centuries' old rumor of an alternate version, egg tempura on wood, of the famous "Last Supper" fresco by Leo Da Vinci. The rumores from after De Vinci's death had the mysterious painting titled  "The Last Get Together". 

People Who Stare at Paintings found written in De Vinci's own hand on the back of the wood panel the title; "Jack sono Wild e non leccatevi le cianfrusaglie al tavolo, ragazzi"  Roughly translated to english reads "Jacks are are Wild and No Licking your junk at the table, boys."

Senator Attack Dog Ignorance Shines Like a Full Moon

This is bone chilling. We are watching a Censorship Regime forming.

Everyone in America - citizens and green card holders - has the protection of free speech. https://t.co/ryJYVjpklw

Supporting a U.S. designated Terrorist Organization is Not Free Speech. Green Card holders have different rules than Citizens.  Enough with the ignorant gaslighting Senator Chicken Little.

You're a United States Senator for God's sake!  And for far too long. Learn the difference between immigration law, and restrictions on speech and conduct applicable only to foreigners, and criminal law, which applies to everyone. You're embarrassing yourself. 

If you are granted an American visa or green card, you are a guest. You have zero right to commit any crime or incite hostility against America and her citizens. Green card holders are still probationary and can be deported if they wouldn't qualify for admission. You're shamelessly fear mongering about citizens. 

 8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens D. Termination of conditional permanent residence: 

Not long ago, under a Democratic administration, people were arrested for misgendering others and for expressing disgust at women being forced to accept men in women's sports competitions. And you said nothing when parents were investigated for simply rasing concerns about their child education. Where was your championing of free speech then? Eh Senator??

Time for This Weeks Official Almost Semi-World Famous Irredeemable Big Ass Open Thread

Grassley on Unchecked Judicial Power

“The President of the United States shouldn’t have to ask permission from more than 600 different district judges to manage the executive branch he was elected to lead… The practice of sweeping nationwide injunctions, broad restraining orders and judicial policymaking must end. It’s unconstitutional, it’s anti-democratic and it’s imprudent..."

I happen to agree with some Democrats that in previous years have said some judges have gone way beyond what a judge should do on national injunctions. I know Democrats have made that same accusation about district court judges in one district out of 93 in the United States applying their decision nationally. I won’t stand by and allow my colleagues to imply that the “Rule of Law,” those three words, only matters when there’s a Republican President. The silence we heard from Democrats about the rule of law during the Biden years was quite deafening..."

For a number of years, but particularly in the last few months, we’ve seen increasingly sweeping, potentially lawless orders coming from any one of our 600 district judges out of the 93 districts we have. Although our founders saw an important role for the judiciary, individual district judges have empowered themselves to become nationwide policymakers, as opposed to interpreting the law. I consider this as very dangerous..."

In the last few weeks, individual, unelected judges made policy decisions for the whole country. Some examples include: Ordering the President to stop deporting foreign terrorists; Directing the military to enlist and retain transgender servicemembers; Directing who will and will not staff the President’s administration; Ordering the immediate expenditure of billions of dollars. The practice of sweeping nationwide injunctions, broad restraining orders, and judicial policymaking must end. It’s unconstitutional, it’s anti-democratic and it’s imprudent. 

In 2022, Justice Elena Kagan correctly observed, “It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal process.....”

Alexandria & Bernie's Snake Oil Roadshow.

Historical ignorance in the young works as a valuable asset for the liberal Progressive. Progressivism relishes the individual who has no point of reference other than the present world. This is the best client for one who is a seller of discontentment and grievance. The person has nothing to relate his present quality of life to, except some ideal scenario.

They therefore easily buys the pitch of the Utopian Leftist that his present condition is an intolerable outrage, as opposed to what it is from a historical standpoint: the most comfortable and luxury-filled period in human history for the common man.
