One of you asked me earlier if I was going to rant about the BBB and I said maybe but I thought most everything that could be said has been said and I don’t want to regurgitate what’s available to anyone on the internet. And then I changed my mind and said yes because I have a couple of points I want to make.

First I want to comment on a point I have previously discussed. Trump 2.0 is much better for having the Magoo disaster between his terms. It gave him the chance to evaluate the lessons learned from his first term. This time he knew the swamp and he surrounded himself with actual people who were dedicated to his agenda and he supported them so they know they can decimate the Dems in hearings because they know that he has their backs and they have his.

He now knows how DC works and can play hardball. If you’re a Republican, the last thing you want is for Trump to call you out for being against his mandate.

Now the second thing that I want to comment on is the Senate Parliamentarian. I’m pretty sure that you have heard about her blocking several cost cutting provisions from the BBB. I’ve seen that she blocked $500 billion in savings.

So how does this happen? First what is the parliamentarian? It is a position that usually decides various parliamentary issues concerning Senate rules. Most of you are probably aware of Roberts Rules of Order. The senate rules are much more complicated. So the parliamentarian is there to sort out these issues.

Now the reason that I am dealing with this position because of something called the Byrd rule, , named after the Grand Cyclops of the KKK which pertains to reconciliation bills. So that a filibuster can’t stop a budget bill from passing, the rule allows budget bills to pass the Senate on a simple majority.And if I remember correctly, only two reconciliation bills can be passed in one year. Which is why Trump wanted one BBB so they can still do another reconciliation bill this year. If you remember several republicans wanted to break down the BBB into two separate bills. Trump wanted just one so that he could get everything done and not have to wait on a second bill to accomplish what he had promised to us.

The reason I bring this up is because the Parliamentarian blocked several important provisions saying they weren’t budget related. I don’t know how something cutting government spending isn’t budget related. So here’s the issue. The parliamentarian is appointed by the Senate majority leader and serves at his pleasure. The present occupant of that office was appointed by Harry Reid so you can imagine just how apolitical she is. Many wanted Senator Thune to repeal the rule that requires the senate to abide by her decisions on what’s in and out of a reconciliation bill. And I commend him for not doing that because as I’ve said before, be careful it doesn’t come back to bite you in the ass in the future. No what I want is for Thune to fire the present person and replace her with a neutral person before the next reconciliation bill comes up. I wouldn’t mind a right leaning individual to counteract the leftist there now. I guarantee you that if the BBB was a democrat initiative, she would not have cut anything out.

As I have mentioned previously, I continue to be amazed at the things I have experienced in my life. I’m sure that you will be amazed to look back at your life and realize how amazing it has been

In April of 1976 I left the faculty at Florida and moved to the DC suburbs to take my job at the NRC. And as a result, I was in DC for the bicentennial and was on the National Mall for that celebration. It was awesome and ended with a laser light show. One of you may have also been there because she was born and raised in the area but I didn’t know her or work with her until many years later. Actually considering that she is 14 years younger than me and I was 28 at the time I expect that she wasn’t,

I would love to be back there for 250 but I couldn’t actually get around given my present physical condition. I wil clearly be watching as there is no doubt that Trump will make it spectacular.

Jerome Powell needs to be fired. He is the only thing holding back massive economic growth and basically only in the real estate sector. He refuses to reduce interest rates basically because he has TDS. It is ridiculous and he needs to be fired.

There is a question about whether Trump has the authority to do it, but I would take that chance if I were Trump. But not until after the Big Beautiful Bill is passed. No need to complicate things before that. At this point, contrary to some of you who thought I was crazy, ( You know who you are.)inflation is at all time lows and the market is at all time highs in spite of the tariffs.

Powell has stated that he doesn’t want to lower interest rates because he is afraid of inflation, which as I just said is at all time lows. He is just trying to hurt Trump because Trump has exposed his in competence.

The reality is that the only sector of the economy that is not booming is real estate, and that’s because of high interest rates. Many people like you and me are sitting on significant amounts of equity and are not using it because of interest rates. Get rid of Powell and release the entire economy.

Maybe we should abolish the Fed all together but given my previous rant about not looking to the future on changes to the status quo, I would not do it because I can’t imagine the damage that another Magoo could do in control of interest rates.

The Supremes issued a decision today that seriously curtails the power of district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions and essentially limits those courts to the issues and parties before them. I saw John Yoo today talking about how this decision has basically decimated the power of these leftist judges. And I thought that that was a little disingenuous because these activist judges will try to get around the decision by declaring class actions and making the class nation wide. This already happened in one case. I don’t remember which one, but he certified a class and declared a class action even before the government had a chance to reply to the complaint.

I have handled a class action and that’s not how it’s supposed to be done. So I think that we will see a spate of improper class actions. Imagine a judge certifying a class that consists of all illegal aliens. He could then impose an injunction preventing the government from taking any action against them until the class action has been litigated which would take years.

And what makes this even more scary is that Tarlov said on the Five that this is what they planned to do and have already filed several class complaints after the Supremes issued the decision.

Anthony Bernal who was Jill Biden’s workplace husband has now been subpoenaed to testify about Magoo’s mental competency and who actually approved use of the Autopen. Now this is another case of the left not looking forward to what could happen if they mess with rules.Harry Reid eliminated the need for 60 votes to confirm political officials and Circuit Court judges and below. Then Cocaine Mitch extended it to Supreme Court Justices and Trump got to put three people on the Supreme Court.

Then Magoo waved executive privilege for some of Trump’s inner circle and the result was that a couple of Trump’s people went to jail for refusing to answer questions that they thought were privileged. Now if you remember I said at the time that I didn’t understand how one president could wave executive privilege for a different president and I still stand by that, but what’s good for one president is good for the next. Bernal was set to testify until Trump revoked his executive privilege and then refused so got subpoenaed. He was apparently planning to claim everything he was asked was privileged. When that was removed, he refused to cooperate willingly. Once again the Dems never look to what the future outcome might be when they mess with precedent.

Just so you know I haven’t passed away, I’ll discuss a few things that have piqued my interest recently. First I want to discuss our bombing in Iran. As you will recall I said previously that we should adopt the Luke Skywalker approach and drop the BBBBB’s down the air shafts. And that’s exactly what they did.

And staying on the same subject, I’m so tired of TDS idiots in and out of congress suggesting that the attack wasn’t successful. In case you didn’t see Ingraham tonight, she had on Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio, a Republican, and he was in the classified briefing in a SCIF given to some senators and congressmen about the strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and he said that one Democrat had stated that it would go down as one of the greatest military actions in history and then walked out of the briefing and said to the microphone junkies that we don’t know if we did any major damage to the nuclear facilities. Such hypocrisy!

Next and lastly I want to comment on the NY mayoral primary. A person on the left side of the communism/socialism spectrum won the primary and I want to say that I don’t believe he will win the general election. First the mainstream democrats don’t want him to win because it would result in the destruction of the Dem party. And Eric Adams, the current mayor, is running as an independent and Cuomo who lost the primary has said that he may also run as an independent. This would certainly mess up the Dems and make it possible for my preferred candidate, Curtis Sliwa, who is the Republican candidate to potentially win. I’m a big fan of Curtis and as those of you have been following my nonsense for a while, I was lucky enough to hear him speak in person at the ARCO FORUM in the Kennedy School at Harvard. He was charismatic and in case you don’t know who he is, he is the founder of the Guardian Angels. He’s what NYC needs.

I love the idea and certainly support it. Now if they would only follow my earlier suggestion that they stock the Rio Grande with alligators, we could seriously discourage people from wanting to wade across the river to sneak in here. Just saying.

You don’t need me to talk about the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capability. It’s all been covered extensively by the media and it’s all in accordance with things I have said before.

So what’s the purpose of this rant? Well recall Crying Chuck Schumer and others talking that Trump was a TACO — Trump always chickens out. Quelle surprise, I haven’t seen a single peep out of Schumer because he has to be embarrassed by his stupid ignorance.

I just recalled something that I should have mentioned previously. And I continue to be personally amazed at just how wide my experience has been. Seriously!

I have had two interactions with Iran. The first was when I was an editor on the UF Law Review. We were supposed to edit some legal something from Iran in Iran and I was the one who was supposed to go to Iran and even got a passport but for some reason it was cancelled. I would have probably have enjoyed it because it was under the Shah.

The second interaction was in drafting a contract for a friend who was a former member of NOAA and had a company that did coastal mapping. And I have been published on the subject. Anyway, he had been selected to do coastal mapping for Iran and asked me to draft the contract. So I spent a couple days in the Library of Congress researching the law in Iran and various articles about how things were done in Iran. Now it turns out that Iran had commercial laws similar to our Uniform Commercial Code and were quite reasonable. It had nothing to do with sharia law.

But I also found that it was a very corrupt country where officials demanded a bribe to pay contracts.

So my contract required that all food and housing be supplied by Iran and that the contract be interpreted by an English translation of their commercial code.

He told me that I had saved them thousands of dollars and he also told me about how things were in Iran. The thing that I remember the most is that things were normal by western standards except that amazingly porno theaters were all the rage and husbands and wives went together. It was just a normal date.

The people like Tucker who are questioning the need to bomb Fordow nuclear facility are all basing their opinions on past US interventions seeking regime change. We were all told that Iraq had WMD’s and they didn’t. If I remember correctly, and I usually do, Colin Powell went on TV and highlighted an ice cream truck and claimed that it was a biological weapons lab. It was an ice cream truck.

That is very different from the present situation. Iran has several nuclear facilities and one in particular is the mainstay of its nuclear weapons program. It’s buried under 300 feet of solid rock. It’s not an ice cream factory!

Iran has been offered the ability to use nuclear power for electricity. They were told that they would be given the fuel rods necessary to operate nuclear power plants and they refused.

Now I don’t know how close Iran is to getting a nuclear weapon. I have to believe that they are fairly close if they are actually at 60% enrichment now as seems to be the consensus. The pacifists seem to be in favor of once again kicking the can down the road. That’s stupid.

There is absolutely no reason for Iran to do what it’s doing other than developing a nuclear weapon. NONE! We now have a window to eliminate the threat for many years because the Israelis have destroyed their air defense. So a limited strike with our BBBB’s would do the job and then we get out and let Israel and the people of Iran to figure out what happens next.

I saw today that the descendant of the Shah, and now the would be Shah said that he has been contacted and the people want him back to run the country. Maybe, who knows. My point is that I am not concerned with what happens to Iran after their nuclear aspirations are ended. Not our problem. Get in and get out and let them determine their own future.
