AND SO IT BEGINS

This was inevitable and given that today Iran said clearly that it would not cease enriching uranium, it is not surprising that Israel attacked tonight. And although Trump said that negotiations were ongoing, I believe that was just postering. There is no way that Israel would have done it without approval from Trump. Remember that they were going to strike earlier and Trump didn’t approve.

Now I believe that Iran will not strike US bases because if they do they know that Trump will destroy them.

And there are still concerns that the Israeli government cannot take out some Iranian sites without bunker busting bombs which they don’t have. My view is that they don’t need them. If they continuously bomb these facilities, even if they don’t succeed in taking them out, they can bury them under tons of rubble with no way to get out. Having some kind of nuclear weapon that is buried and can’t get out destroys the threat. What are they going to do blow themselves up? No matter what capacity they have, it useless if they can’t use it.a

HOORAY

Last night I said that the feds should arrest the rioters and charge them with federal crimes so they can’t be let go by the state judicial system. I just heard Pam Bondi say that there are laws that give the feds the power to arrest and prosecute these people and they are doing it. Keep it up until these thugs find out that there is no get out of jail free card. Your ass is going to jail.

LEVIN

As I expected last night he responded to Tucker without naming him and laid out the reasons that Iran is close to the bomb and needs to be stopped, and btw tonight he had General Keene to reinforce his position.

Now I don’t know where Iran is on uranium enrichment but it’s definitely way beyond the level needed for peaceful purposes. And last night he had on someone who said that documents have been uncovered showing that Iran had actual plans for a nuclear weapon — not just plans for enrichment. People uranium enrichment science is really a matter of public information at this time.

However that is not sufficient to make a nuclear weapon. You can’t just take 90 or 100% enriched uranium and put it in a bomb and drop it and get a mushroom cloud. It’s takes very sophisticated techniques to make that happen. Now I believe that I have heard that you could find the necessary science on the internet but I don’t know if that’s true and I’m not about to check it out.

The quickest way to get a visit from the FBI would be to search for how do you build a nuclear weapon.

Trust me it’s complicated and if Iran already has that knowledge then it’s a serious problem. And given that the mullahs have said they will not quit enrichment, I have to go with Levin.

MOSTLY PEACEFUL

The Dems are a one trick pony and Trump is not going to let them get away with it this time. They are replaying the whole 2020 bullshit and this time we are too smart for that. We can all see that it’s mostly violent and everyone of them should be arrested to set an example and make them have a criminal record. Arrest and charge them under federal laws and don’t let the locals release them. Send a message and snip this crap in the bud. Trump had every right to send in the national guard, just as Eisenhower did to escort black students to school in Little Rock to enforce Brown v Board of Education. Keep doing it until they give up!

AUTOPEN

Now that is Trump’s name for Magoo but I’m sticking Magoo because it is an accurate description of former idiot in chief.

Now I know that the Supremes have previously held that autopien signatures are legitimate if in fact the president specifically authorized it. If he didn’t then a whole host of EO’s and pardons etc. are invalid and non binding.

The Republican house and senate are planning on calling many members of the Magoo administration to testify about Magoo’s mental acuity. They haven’t subpoenaed them yet which is ridiculous. Quit being pussies and cut to the chase and get them in and on tv. Also call Jill McBiden and Hunter.

But here’s the most important thing they should do. Subpoena Magoo! He has no immunity and question him live on tv about each pardon and EO he signed. Start off by asking why didn’t he an EO that he actually signed and see if he knows. Ask him why some ridiculous EO’s were signed and let the world see that he is clueless about almost everything he allegedly did in office. I heard tonight that one of the first things he signed was an EO to close the border. Ask him why he didn’t assure that it was followed through on.

Stop playing nice to get sound bites and actually get something done. You may only have until the midterms to get it done.

THE SUPREMES AND NEPA

On Thursday the Supremes issued a decision on the National Environmental Policy Act and Environmental Impact Statements that will greatly facilitate Trump’s efforts to bring energy independence to the nation.

First I have a great deal of knowledge about EIS because one job I had as a faculty member at UF law school was to supervise a federal grant program summarizing and cataloging EIS on projects impacting the sea and coastal development.

The case is Seven Counties versus Eagle County. The issue at stake was approval of an 88 mile railroad line connecting a very oil rich area in Utah to the main railroads that would connect with refineries on the Gulf Coast. It was approved but then challenged and disapproved because it didn’t take into account the potential environmental impacts that might result from the fact that the railroad might result in increased oil and gas mining in Utah and increased refining on the Gulf Coast and other secondary possibilities.

The Supremes in an 8-0 opinion with Gorsuch abstaining, and I don’t know why and didn’t look it up but I did read the opinion, held that agencies when considering potential environmental impacts of infrastructure projects only need to consider potential impacts of the project itself and not potential upstream or downstream impacts. And this is a great result. These out of control judges have used impact statements to manufacture all kinds of nonsense to delay and cancel projects. Now the involved agency only needs to consider the actual impacts of the project involved, not other factors, and if they do that courts can not second guess their approval of projects.

JUDICIAL OVERREACH

I know I have commented on this briefly before but it’s time to step it up. I know that Trump wants to abide by judicial orders, but I think it’s time to call out their nonsense. These unelected judges don’t have the authority to decide the foreign policy of the United States or the immigration policy or tariff policy. I appreciate that Trump doesn’t want to create a perceived constitutional crisis, but he needs to recognize that we are already in a constitutional crisis. Nowhere in the constitution is there authority for these judges to assume the power of the president. And this can’t continue. The founders viewed the judiciary as inferior to the executive and legislative branches. They never envisioned that we would be a judocrasy and we should not be. ( I may have made up that word.)

It’s time in my opinion for the Trump administration to say to a court that you don’t have jurisdiction and the plaintiffs don’t have standing and we will not participate in this farce. And let these power hungry judges try to get Pam Bondi to enforce their nonsense. Not going to happen and I believe that the people will agree with Trump. Enough is enough!

OBSERVATION AND QUESTION

I noticed over the past few days what should have been obvious earlier. They keep showing Magoo shirtless at the beach virtually every weekend and he is a pasty white guy. I mean really white! How is that possible? I go to the beach every summer, except last year because of hurricanes canceling my vacation, and I don’t sit in the sun but still manage to get a tan on all my exposed skin, even my head which gets even burned from indirect sunlight bouncing off from everywhere. So how does Magoo avoid getting a tan?
