UPDATE: This is a must watch for the latest, fullest information about border security and illegal aliens still remaining in USA. Homan is clear as a bell and does most of the talking and answering questions. Highly recommended. ABN
Punishment must fit the crime. In like manner, law must be applied to fit the situation. This is the pragmatic, real basis of all American law. Judges who violate these basic principles are either ignorant of the law or activist frauds. They should be impeached and removed from the bench, if not jailed for treason. ABN
UPDATE: We all know the punishment must fit the crime. This is the pragmatics of the law, as well as its morality and ethics. What few people understand is the law itself must also fit the situation. If our country is flooded illegally with illegal aliens, many of them hostile, the law must fit this situation. Thus, when SCOTUS meets literally in the middle of the night and rules on punctilios, they have violated not just the pragmatics of the law but also the very meaning of Constitutional interpretation, which is their only job. Please give this some thought. It’s a glaring philosophical and legal mistake. ABN
In sum, literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order. I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate

This amounts to judicial usurpation of executive power, which results in great harm to the American people. ABN
In a brief order made in the early hours of Saturday, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove the Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center ‘until further order of this court.’
Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.
The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Supreme Court said earlier this month that deportations could proceed only if those about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and were given ‘a reasonable time’ to contest their pending removals.
Disabuse yourself of theoretical niceties and consider: the left illegitimately under Biden used tax money to entice and pay for tens of millions of illegal migrants to enter USA. Trump, a center right president, tries to correct the Biden administration’s treasonous crime and deport a small number of the now tens of millions of illegal aliens residing in USA (and often being paid to stay here with taxpayer funds). What does SCOTUS do? It requires each potential deportee ‘about to be removed to have a chance to argue their case in court and be given “a reasonable time” to contest their pending removals’.
This ruling violates all proportion (crime versus remedy) and all pragmatics. I want neither the left nor the right but the right is almost always a reaction to leftist excesses and is almost always much milder than the left. Being milder is one reason the right often loses. The pragmatic and proportional consequences of court decisions that stall reasonable legal deportations at the individual level while allowing illegal importations in the tens of millions is glaringly obvious.
The punishment must fit the crime: Many in the Biden admin should be prosecuted for treason. The legal remedy must fit the crime: The people they illegally trafficked into USA must be sent home promptly. Correct and proper legal rulings are always based on pragmatics like this.
The words left and right have been mind-controlled into near meaninglessness. By right, I mean governments like Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Russia, Israel. What Trump is doing is far less ‘rightist’ than anything any of those governments would do. And this shows our court system, like everything else in USA, is infested with leftist parasites who are bent on destroying not only USA but the entire West. Any country or civilization so weak and paralyzed by disproportionate legalism is doomed to failure OR a much stronger rightist response. Neither of those choices is good, but the right is still better. SCOTUS is clearly compromised by fear, blackmail, bribery or ideological stupidity. Only one or two of them are ideologically stupid, imo. ABN
A federal judge has reversed a lower court judge’s decision to force the government to continue supplying illegal migrants with taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin had earlier ruled in Oakland, California, that President Donald Trump was not allowed to stop taxpayer funding for progressive groups that provided legal advice to illegal aliens facing deportation.
The Mexico-born judge issued a temporary restraining order on April 1 that required the administration to restore the funding for 26,000 unaccompanied minors seeking to stay legally in the U.S., the Daily Journal reported.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services quickly appealed Judge Olguin’s ruling. Consequently, on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss in Washington, D.C. reinstated the administration’s pause on funding, the AP reported.
The Trump administration is moving ahead with a new rule, previously known as “Schedule F,” that will make it easier to remove federal employees it believes are undercutting President Trump‘s agenda.
Why it matters: By stripping civil service protections from about 50,000 people — roughly 2% of the federal work force — Trump is continuing his far-reaching effort to trim the federal bureaucracy and make it more answerable to him.
The Office of Personnel Management’s new rule — dubbed “Schedule Policy/Career” — will allow many career civil servants to be classified as “at will” employees, making them easier to remove.
Trump aides argue they need greater flexibility to fire civil servants who are underperforming, engaging in misconduct or undermining Trump’s policy plans.
Zoom in: Such civil servants in nonpartisan roles traditionally have had job protections that shielded them from the political whims of whoever was in the White House.
But Trump and many of his backers have long believed that a “deep state” of Washington bureaucrats was undercutting his agenda.
Toward the end of his first term, Trump signed an executive order establishing a Schedule F category for federal employees.
President Biden rescinded the order after he took office, but after taking office again in January, Trump signed a new executive order reinstating and renaming it.
While he was out of office, Trump and his allies laid the groundwork for a new administration stocked with loyalists. Schedule F was a significant part of that plan
Many of the Trump allies who pushed for Schedule F now have key roles in the administration, including Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Management of Budget Director Russ Vought.
“They are making decisions and those decisions should be in line with the president’s agenda. Unelected career bureaucrats should be held accountable to the agenda Americans vote for,” said a White House official.
UPDATED: All American laws are ultimately pragmatic. This includes SCOTUS rulings on the Constitution as well as district prosecutors deciding how to work a case. Legal pragmatics include ethics and precedents, while also recognizing the urgency of, say, removing millions of illegal immigrants in USA. The legal remedy in this case properly must fit the crime, which was treasonous importation of millions of illegals. Sending a plane-load of violent illegals to El Salvador was a pragmatic decision as it removed some of the worst and also sends a strong message to others of their ilk to get out of the country. It’s a pragmatic application of the law. ‘Legal’ objections to it are absurd in the face of the massive offense (treason) and massive harm (tens of millions of illegals ushered in to USA under Biden). Below is an illustration of the problem. ABN
Health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has revealed a list of ‘toxins’ he claims could be driving a ‘tsunami’ of autism across the US.
Kennedy said he would commission a series of studies into whether mold, pesticides, food chemicals or medicines are contributing to the development of the condition.
He also suggested a surprising fifth possible factor: ultrasound scans. He noted the technology became widely available around the same time autism started spiking in the 1980s.
RFK Jr went on to suggest industries were profiting off of environmental toxins that are driving more autism diagnoses, an apparent nod to his vaccine skepticism and crusade against artificial food ingredients.
Kennedy told reporters: ‘We need to move away from the ideology that the relentless autism prevalence increase is simply an artifact of better recognition and better diagnostic criteria.
‘The epidemic is real. Only a small percentage can be charged to better recognition or better diagnostic criteria.
An Australian study published earlier this year also found boys exposed to endocrine-disrupting chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) in the womb were six times more likely to be diagnosed with autism before age 11 than those without exposure.
That team suggested BPA – which lines plastic and metal food packaging, an ever growing pollutant in the modern world – was associated with neurological and behavioral changes associated with autism.
Apparently the Q-anon ‘plan’ was never to root out the Deep State by preprogramming the population with lavish Biden Constitutional offenses; it was instead, to preprogram the population with lavish Biden Constitutional offenses to accept even worse Constitutional offenses under Trump. Trust the Plan was actually Trust the Reverse Plan; or more precisely, the Obverse Plan. Looks that way to me, at this point. Remember, Jewish Supremists saying nasty crazy stuff is nothing new. And so far, student visas are being revoked only for ‘making a ruckus’ and thus violating the terms of their privileged visas, according to Rubio. ABN
Connecticut State Police announced the arrest this week of a motorcyclist who, according to police, is the individual who built an online following under a pseudonym by posting to social media dozens of videos of himself speeding well above 150 mph and driving extremely aggressively.
Police identified the rider as Brice A. Bennett, 22, of Bloomfield. His arrest report says he had posted 72 videos on YouTube in 2024 using a pseudonym that was redacted from the report, but which was shared with CTNewsJunkie by a concerned citizen who had seen the videos. The screen name also exists on Instagram and Facebook where similar videos are posted. CTNewsJunkie has opted not to share the screen name because the accounts have large followings and appear to be monetized.
One of the YouTube videos shows the rider – whose face never appears in any of his videos – reaching 192 mph on I-91 northbound. Numerous other videos showed speeds above 150 mph in Connecticut and other states.
