Musk and DOGE have uncovered the true reason that the left is so concerned about DOGE looking into Social Security. Turns, unsurprisingly, that Magoo and the crew were giving the illegals SSN’s, registering them to vote and putting them on Medicaid as soon as they got here.

THE FINAL FOUR

Congratulations to the tournament selection committee. You got it right for the first time in a long time. All four number one seeds made it to the final four much to my surprise as I will explain below. But first I have a problem with their brackets. If you have four number one seeds and two of them are from the same conference, you don’t put them in a situation where they do what you expect and then have to cancel one of them from playing in the championship game. Yes the SEC is guaranteed one team in the final game but they could have had two. I think this was intentional. Obviously the SEC was head and shoulders above every other conference in the country and got 14 teams into the dance. A record of three more than any conference had ever done before. And the committee didn’t want that to happen.

Now why I said I was surprised at the outcome is because with all you Dukies out there including my daughter, I thought that Duke was overrated all year, not because they were a bad team, because obviously they’ve not. But because they played a week schedule. For those of you who don’t know, the first time Duke played a ranked opponent since December was when they played Louisville in the ACC Championship Game. The SEC teams played ranked opponents almost every game. But Duke is everything that they were supposed to be and good for them unless they come up against my Gators in the championship game.

SIGNAL WRAP UP

Hopefully this is the last time I will be talking about this. So looking back on this nonsense, here’s my takeaway. First Goldberg really has nothing to do with the real controversy. He only gave the Dems something to try to exploit. The real issue is that the Dems are claiming that the Trump administration shouldn’t be using Signal because it’s not secure. Now there are two problems with this.

First, the use of this app was approved and used by the Magoo administration. And it was installed on all the phones given to the incoming administration. So it is ridiculous to claim that the use of the Magoo approved app was negligent.

And second all their doomsday scenarios are predicated on the app having been compromised. Because otherwise they can’t explain their nonsense. And guess what, there is no allegation let alone proof that it was! Goldberg somehow got added to a group he shouldn’t have been, and I’ll dicuss that below, but no one other than him had inappropriate access to the conversation. So what’s the basis for their the sky is falling and the Yellowstone cauldron is erupting tomorrow nonsense?

Now let me talk about Goldberg and what at least one of you question whether his inclusion should result in the firing of Waltz. If he intentionally added him, then yes but there is no evidence that he did. In fact I believe that some deep state subordinate did what happened last time and was trying to sabotage the Trump administration as the intelligence community did in his first term. They need to find whoever did it and prosecute him. But they also need to put in place protocols that verify exactly who’s in these groups,

Now with respect to Goldberg, he should have exited as soon as he knew that he got inadvertently on a conversation that he shouldn’t have and which he was not allowed. And it just occurred to me as I’m writing this, but what other conversations was he privy to? I can’t believe that this group was set up for just this operation. And this sob claimed that he didn’t publicize the war plans was because of his journalistic integrity. What bs. This guy is a TDS idiot . I’m pretty sure he knew that if he had disclosed war plans in realtime to our adversaries, he would have committed treason and his ass could be fried, hopefully by electricity supplied by a bank of solar panels.

A GOOD QUESTION

I saw a post today that raised the question of how is it that the Trump administration is able to arrest all these bad hombres in just a couple of months and the Magoo crew couldn’t seem to find them? I never thought about it but it is a good question. The author posed that maybe the reason is because the Magoo FBI had information about their location but was more interested in prosecuting Catholics and parents and people who roomed the Capitol on J6., even those who never entered the Capitol. Good question!

A MATCH UP I DIDN’T WANT TO SEE

Not because I think my Gators will lose, but because I am also a fan Maryland. I lived in Maryland for 30 years and always rooted for them particularly in basketball. I still have my Fear the Turtle t-shirt from the year they won the dance with Len Bias before he unfortunately died from crack. And for most of my time there the dance went down Tobacco Road. This year not so much. This is the first year in forever that there was only one ACC team in the second round.

I would much have preferred that Maryland was in a different section so both teams could continue on, but I think my Gators are just a little too strong.

FOLLOW ON

Today I saw a lot of people talking about the fact that the information in the Signal chat was classified or should have been. And I considered yesterday saying the same thing because from my experience I couldn’t believe that they didn’t classify it.

However, with a few exceptions like restricted data, nothing is classified unless a classification official actually classifies it. And so when you have the top original classification authorities at the departments and agencies involved all say it wasn’t classified, then it wasn’t classified. Since they all had the authority to declassify it if it was classified, you can take their statements to do that if it was even necessary. It always amazes how many of the supposed experts are actually clueless. They seem to think that there is some amorphous entity that pronounces information as classified. Trump as president could declare that nothing is classified and that would be that with the few exceptions I referenced above.

THE OBVIOUSLY OBVIOUS OBSERVATIONS ABOUT THE SIGNAL CONTROVERSY

And as is usually the case they are apparently only obvious to me. First, as you probably know by now, the use of the Signal app was approved by Magoo and installed automatically on the cell phones of the new intelligence community.

Now the left is crazy claiming that the addition of the biased journalist could somehow lead to the end of the world. Pilots falling from the sky and cats and dogs playing together. But they never explain how. What they have to be saying is that the app was not secure because that is the only thing that could make any sense, but they can’t say that because Magoo approved it. So how can one American journalist who somehow got admitted to the chain have compromised our soldiers? Apparently he knew maybe two hours ahead of the bombs hitting that they were going to hit but he didn’t know where. And absent him being an Iranian or houthis spy he couldn’t have conveyed that info a manner that would have mattered. And even if he was, I seriously doubt that the houthis could have made significant changes in their positions. They’ve got to pretty well dug in by now. So how is this an issue?

The second thing that struck me as obvious but no one is talking about is that obviously team Trump knows what was said and they wouldn’t be denying the allegations if Goldberg could put up screen shots to prove his allegations. They are not that stupid and his track record is spotty at best.

PREDICTION

Let me say that this rant was inspired by my response to a text from one of you today. During my response it occurred to me that the Supremes will step in and at least curb to some extent the power of district courts to issue nationwide injunctions. And I haven’t seen it anywhere else so I thought it best to do it before it occurs to someone else.

Now those of you who have followed me know that I am no fan of Chief Justice Roberts. I should correct my comments referring to him as an idiot because from all sources I have seen he is intelligent but he is not wise. He’s the consummate institutionalist. His entire career is protecting the judicial system from criticism. He doesn’t care what the law or the Constitution would dictate. His only concern is how will the decision help to give acceptance to the court. For example in the Obamacare decision he invented the mandate is really a tax subterfuge to save it because he was concerned that ruling otherwise would lead to riots in the streets and diminish the standing of the court in the eyes of the public.

In the Dobbs case overturning Roe, he joined the majority knowing he would be in the wrong side if he didn’t because there were 5 votes without him. But if I remember correctly, he joined in the decision but in a separate opinion would have preferred that the court uphold the Mississippi law without the need to overturn Roe.

His recent mouthing of anti impeachment rhetoric for judges is just more evidence of his preference for protection of the institution over the law.

Okay how does this come together for this rant? I predict that he will get the Supremes to reduce the jurisdiction of the district courts, as little as possible. Not because he wants to but because there are now several bills in the House and the Senate to do just that and he’s scared to death that he might preside over a judiciary that was diminished. He’s afraid that Congress might wake up to their constitutional authority and quit blindly deferring to the Court. Jim Jordan announced that they will hold hearings next week into these rogue decisions and may subpoena the judges themselves. How much would you like to see Senator John Kennedy question these activists if the senate held hearings?

And I saw today that someone came up with an even more interesting way to get a bill through the Senate and avoiding a filibuster. Attach it to a bill funding the judiciary! It would only require a simple majority in the Senate.

MARK LEVIN

One reason I like him is because he frequently has great rants about what really went into the founding of this country and our constitution. He’s an expert and I’m not. Just like you I’m basically clueless. I’ve never read the Federalist Papers and neither have you. I have previously criticized him on things that I am an expert on and he isn’t, but when he goes into the things he did yesterday and today, it is eye opening and extremely educational and you should pay attention.

Now as you know I’m an attorney and so obviously went to law school, and I aced constitutional law but I guarantee you that nothing he discussed over the past two nights was ever discussed or covered in law school. And I guarantee you that 99.9% of the attorneys in this country are just as clueless as I am. And maybe more importantly I guarantee you that almost all of the members in congress are similarly clueless. Maybe Ted Cruz. And even more importantly, I guarantee you that the three leftist justices on the Supreme Court are totally clueless.

When I went to law school Marbury v Madison was considered the basis for our system establishing judicial review and chief justice marshal was considered a judicial idol . Now in my defense I thought Chief Justice John Marshal was a light weight. His decisions were simple minded but they established the nonsense that now plagues our country, and so we’re stuck with them.

There is nothing in the nothing in the constitution that allows judicial review of decisions of the other branches. Look it up! The supremes are given jurisdiction over very specific things. They don’t have jurisdiction to rule on acts of congress or presidential decisions. And more importantly, as I have said repeatedly recently, all the lower courts including appellate courts and district courts are creations of congress and are limited by whatever jurisdiction is granted to them by congress. The most effective way to deal with this lawfare by district court judges is to have congress pass legislation to restrict their jurisdiction and authority. Now I know you may think that this couldn’t get through the senate because of the vote 60 filibuster rule, but I heard several people suggest that it could pass by attaching it to a must pass bill. Maybe the budget legislation or a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Those are my suggestions.

Anyway please listen to Levin for information on things none of us know about the founding of this country and our constitution.
