I see that Chief Justice John Roberts is whining about criticism of the federal judiciary. The criticism might well abate if he’d use his position and influence to get the District judges de-politicize themselves.

Federal judge [Boasberg] temporarily changes grand jury rules after Trump effort to charge members of Congress
"Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, a frequent thorn in President Donald Trump's side, ordered court procedures to require notice when a grand jury refuses to approve an indictment, at least temporarily.
The move, ordered earlier this month, follows the Trump administration’s failed effort to secure charges against six Democrat members of Congress, which Trump and his backers have called the "seditious six" for telling U.S. service members not to obey illegal orders.
"This Court has reviewed current practices relating to the return of indictments and notification of instances in which a grand jury has declined to indict," Boasberg wrote in the March 4 order.
"In furtherance of the interests of consistency and transparency, and pursuant to its authority under Rule 57.14(b), this Court finds that notification should be provided to the duty magistrate judge whenever a grand jury fails to concur in an indictment, regardless of whether the defendant has already been charged."
The order bullet-pointed three directives:
"When a grand jury fails to concur in an indictment in a GJO [Grand Jury Original] investigation, the foreperson shall promptly and in writing report the lack of concurrence to the duty magistrate judge under seal;
"Notifications provided pursuant to this order shall be maintained in the confidential files of the Clerk’s Office and will not be made public absent order of the Court; and
"This order shall remain in effect for 120 days, during which time the Court will consider the adoption of a local rule requiring such notifications. See LCvR 1.1(b)."
Trump's Justice Department had sought potential grand jury indictments of six Democrats in November — Reps. Jason Crow, D-Col.; Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H.; Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.; and Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; and Sens. Mark Kelly, D-Ari.; and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. — for publicly calling for U.S. service members to reject unlawful orders.
War Secretary Pete Hegseth warned the video is urging the military to violate the chain of command.
Trump called the political attack ad "seditious behavior," calling for them to be "arrested and put on trial" for potential acts of treason, behavior "punishable by death."
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro sought a federal grand jury indictment in February in D.C., a notoriously left-leaning district that can be expected to side against a sitting Republican administration, according to legal expert Alan Dershowitz.
Pirro fired back at Boasberg's recent moves last Friday in a fiery news conference, including blocking a subpoena for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who Trump had long rebuked as "too late" on lowering interest rates and has had massive cost overruns and delays on the $3 billion new Federal Reserve building.
Pirro blasted Boasberg as "an activist judge" and told reporters before walking out that she is getting rejected on grand jury indictments, but is only doing her job.
She said she is "willing to take a not guilty," and "willing to take a no true bill, because I’ll take all the crimes and put them in," slamming the former Biden administration Justice Department for not seeking prosecutions for crimes at the rate she is now doing.
Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, had introduced articles of impeachment for Boasberg for "abuse of power" in blocking the Trump administration from removing terrorists and ordered a plane with terrorists to return to the U.S. last year, and another for nondisclosure orders for the former Biden administration's Artic Frost investigation of congressional Republicans.
In January, a Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, amendment to an appropriation bill failed in an effort to defund Boasberg and his staff amid allegations of weaponization."
One week until the Cubs home opener against the Nationals. Love baseball season. I think this year we'll best the Brewers.

Optimistic view on Iran from Powerline:
An Optimistic Take On Iran
Yesterday, Glenn Reynolds wrote on Substack about the Iran campaign:
The attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran are going almost comically well. Where before Iranian leaders used to mock the “Great Satan” as a pitiful helpless giant, now most of them are dead. The ones left alive are, well, comically begging “don’t drone me, bro!” like Iranian President Mazoud Pezeshkian, hilariously pictured below.
During yesterday’s Intelligence Committee hearing, one of the Democratic senators referred to our Iran campaign as a “fiasco.” What on God’s green earth was he talking about?
War critics have been reduced to worrying that there will be no one left to make a peace deal with if we kill all the leaders. I think we’ll find someone.
What’s going on is summarized pretty well in this post from Sean King:
I am taking the liberty of reproducing that post, as Glenn did. King makes a number of salient points and offers a perspective much more optimistic than I have ventured:
The US’s and Israel’s strategy for regime change/reform in Iran is glaringly obvious and will eventually prove effective. Likely by mid to late April, Iran will be led by somebody amenable to US interests. Here’s how that will happen:
1. Quickly assassinate any prominent or semi-prominent regime official hostile to the US agenda, and continue doing so forever until a moderate one eventually takes power.
2. Destroy the regime’s ability to fund itself and pay its thugs by (a) taking and holding or disabling Kharg Island (through which 90% of Iran’s oil flows), destroying Iran’s other oil distribution structure (the remaining 10%), and (b) destroying the bank, including its backup servers, that the Republican Guard uses to pay its people.
3. Relentlessly target police checkpoints and police officers in general with drone attacks, making it difficult for the regime to control the movement of the Iranian people.
4. Use superior drones to down or disable the drones that Iran uses to surveil and suppress the populace.
5. Provide drone air cover to anti-regime protestors.
6. Ensure that regime officials cannot reliably use electronic communications for fear of being surveilled, or worse, geolocated.
7. Ensure that regime officials cannot gather in person to communicate and coordinate for fear of being killed en masse with precision guided bombs (this has already happened multiple times).
8 Restore Internet (via Starlink or otherwise) so that anti-regime folk can communicate and coordinate.
9. By these means and others make defection by rank and file regime members the only sane move.
10. Have the people and defectors take to the streets and overthrow their Islamic oppressors.
Last night was a test run for number 10. With US and Iranian air cover and support, and with police stations and checkpoints systematically destroyed, Iranians took to the streets en masse to celebrate the “Festival of Fire”, a holiday with Zoroastrian roots that is DISDAINED by the Islamist regime and normally brutally suppressed. By all accounts the festival celebrations were large and mostly unmolested. The regime was unable to stop them this time. The test run was successful.
Regime change/reform is coming. Soon. I’ve said all along that I expected it to happen within 60 days of the initial hostilities. That would be the end of April. But it may well happen before then.

Mosby - isn't Conrad Black the Canadian publisher who was persecuted and prosecuted by their government for publishing views - against Islamism - that the government didn't approve? That was the first time I realized IIRC that America is truly the only country with free speech. Say what the government doesn't like and you will be arrested and prosecuted. I think subsequent to that we saw similar prosecutions all over Europe.

Oh, I forgot to add that T-mobile is giving out a free season of MLBTV to customers again this year. You can't watch every game, home markets are protected. I live in Milwaukee, so I can't watch Brewers v Cubs game. Also Apple and others have some games, so those are blocked. $150 value.
I filled out about 40 free brackets for the NCAA tournament. Kalshi is offering $1 billion to anybody who puts up a perfect bracket. I have a perfect bracket. Unfortunately it’s not in the Kalshi contest, it’s in the ESPN one. And, as far as I can tell, ESPN is offering nada for a perfect bracket. So that sucks.
So far I’m 8-0, and I’m up in most of the games going on now. If I keep this up, Purdue is in big trouble.
I called the Wisconsin loss. I picked Wisconsin in 39 brackets, but in my perfect one I called a High Point upset. Sorry, my bad. Anyway, I have to brag now before BYU bites me in the ass.
We locked up Black here for embezzlement from Hollinger Corp. Two of his counts were overturned on appeal, and Trump eventually pardoned him of the rest. The Canadians later tried to do him for tax evasion, but it never went the criminal route. The US prosecution was under W, so doubt it was motivated by disagreements on muzzies. Maybe the Canadian one was. Or they just might have been ticked off at him for renouncing his Canadian citizenship to accept his peerage. CC, JSM

When you win The Masters you host the Champions Dinner the following year and get to set the menu and wines - which is really cool. Especially when you get access to Augusta National’s world class cellar. Rory has chosen well this year, including a Bâtard-Montrachet and a Ch. Lafite. He has to pay for all of it, but still…
So a quick story: I go on a golf trip with eight to twelve guys every other year and we rotate among some very nice tracks, of which the crew are members. One of our group made the wise decision in life to marry one of Billy Payne’s daughters. Billy happens to be Chairman Emeritus of Augusta National.
He told a story of his first trip to the club during Mr. Payne’s tenure. They had a great dinner and he asked if they could see the wine cellar. Billy agreed and they descended to vino nirvana; cases of the finest vintage Bordeaux and Bourgogne in their original wood cases.
My buddy reaches into his jacket, grabbing his cell phone (a serious no-no) and asks Mr. Payne if he can take a picture of the cellar, and he replies - and I quote - ‘Sure, but if I see a picture of it on social media I’ll fucking kill you.’
Priceless.
Cesar Chavez died 33 years ago. NOW women make allegations against him about stories of things that supposedly happened 60 years ago. And the lefties have a relapse of Believe All Women syndrome.
"And the lefties have a relapse of Believe All Women syndrome."

Of late, I have frequently posted comments here in which I decry the excessive influence of Zionist organizations like AIPAC and ADL, and various "donors", on the US government. For which reason, various of my fellow commenters post responses like "Cut the JOO hate, JOO-piter!". And so on. So, just let me ask; if you don't agree that Zionist organizations have excessive influence on the US government (a position I think is rather obviously true), is it that;
1 - You don't think Zionist organizations influence the US government, or
2 - You don't think that influence is properly characterized as "excessive", or
3 - The people who pay you don't pay for nuance. They pay you to keep claiming that anyone who opposes the Zionist project does so from a baseless, irrational, and yet somehow visceral hatred of all Jews.
Check all that apply.
Re: Optimistic view on Iran from Powerline:
Hegseth is now seeking an additional $200 billion in funding for the war with Iran. Just three weeks in, the conflict is growing far more expensive—yet shows no signs of ending soon.
Trump's threats of further massive destruction against Iran have lost their deterrent effect on the regime's remaining leaders. They've heard similar warnings repeatedly and have already endured severe losses. What more can be inflicted that hasn't been attempted?
This war is increasingly becoming a battle of attrition—one of endurance and willingness to fight on. The Iran that survived the Iraq-Iran War appears much the same today: resilient and prepared to fight to the death if necessary.
Meanwhile, Trump and Netanyahu face tight political and strategic timelines, which works to their disadvantage.
"Cut the JOO hate, JOO-piter!".
If criticizing Israeli government policies automatically makes you an antisemite, then anyone who questions African governments, policies, crime patterns, or foreign aid must be a racist.
Yet somehow only one of those labels gets weaponized 24/7, while the other sails by without a peep. The double standard couldn't be more obvious.
I know people in Mexico who are extremely upset about the influence of the United States on the government of their country (such as it is). One might even say that they are "anti-American". But I don't see any evidence that they are motivated by a visceral hatred of "Americans". If they hate me, they disguise it well. They are concerned about policy.

a) No, all African governments are not race-based or race-identified, and therefore criticism of them is not criticism of their race-based policies, or the races that implement them.
b) When I want you for an ally, I'll lower a $5-bill into a festering sewer, and haul your grievous ass out, teeth locked in the bill.
I suppose it needs saying. Let's say, that there existed a government, which specifically claimed that some of its citizens deserved to be dispossessed, and even killed, based upon their race. There is a party in South Africa that expressly desires and intends to implement such policies. My claim, is that it is not racist to criticize that party, and its policies. Quite the opposite. To criticize such policies is anti-racist.

Do women find it amusing that men are all horndogs? Are men supposed to find it amusing that women are all whores? What if those "facts" are actually not true? Is that what makes them funny?

"They hate us."

It puzzles me.
@Jupiter (10:26), the problem I have with you is that your comments imply that the US is only applying “kinetic military action” (to use Barack Obama’s circumlocution) at the behest of our ally Israel, as though we otherwise would be perfectly content to let Iran develop nuclear weapons. Trump says “no nukes for Iran” and I support him because I think that crazy theocrats would certainly use them on American cities if they have them. Do you disagree? If so, then you are wrong.
Do AIPAC and ADL exert influence? Sure. So does CAIR, on behalf of Muslims. Farmers have lobbying organizations, and so do the environmental crazies. Washington, DC, is riddled with lobbying organizations. For you to single out one or two lobbying groups annd ignore the rest, means … what? At the very least that you don’t think things through. At worst, that you really are an antisemite and should quit trying to pretend otherwise. If you’re going to lie to yourself then you’ll lie to the rest of us too.
@Jupiter (11:25), this recent exchange at my house may shed some light.

Bibi's giving the order for US ground troops to force regime change. How do you spell quagmire? This atheist is praying to Jesus that Trump listens to Joe Kent.
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/03/20/cnbc-daily-open-netanyahus-ground-component-warning.html
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that "Iran is being decimated" as the U.S. and Israel target its ballistic missile and nuclear programs from the air — but he added that meaningful regime change will require a "ground component."
"You don't want to replace one ayatollah with another," Netanyahu said at a press conference. "You don't want to replace Hitler with Hitler."
Iran's got terrorist proxies, and they've been trying to get nukes forever.
George Bush: "This is really bad. Let's invade Iraq."
Barack Obama: "This is really bad. Let's give Iran a lot of money."
So those are two really stupid responses to the Iran nuclear terrorist threat. Trump's response might be stupid. We don't know yet how it's going to turn out.
But the negatives of the Bush approach are obvious. What terrorist proxies did Saddam have? What nukes did he have? When did he invade an American embassy and take Americans hostages? How does it help us to attack somebody who is a non-threat to us?
Obama (and Biden) correctly assessed that Iran and its terrorist proxies is the top threat in the MIddle East. And they bizarrely thought it was a good idea to give Iran billions of dollars. Obama started it, with a $400 million dollar gift. And then Biden followed it up with a $6 billion gift on 9/11.
What the fuck, liberals? Defend that shit, if you can.
People complain about Trump being aligned with Israel. Obama went over to Israel to kiss their wall. That was intention. "We love Israel, and support it." He did that because people suspected he was a Muslim, or a Muslim sympathizer, and not a fan of Israel.
What did Trump do? He visited Saudi Arabia! And he was the first American president to do so. And his administration started the Abraham accords, which is this process (similar to what Carter did with Egypt) to get countries to recognize Israel's right to exist.
I don't know if Saudi Arabia will ever sign the Abraham accords. But that's what we all need for peace in the Middle East. Recognize the Jewish state, and quit trying to annihilate it.
The new liberal plan, which seems to be to annihilate the Jewish state, is vile and disgusting. You think Hamas and Iran are the way? Are you thinking at all?
Remember when New York AG Letitia James convinced crackpot Judge Engoron that Mar-a-Lago was worth only $16 million as part of Trump’s fraud trial? Forbes recently valued Mar-a-Lago at $560 million. Maybe Trump added drapes.

Chavez was violently opposed to illegal immigration, correctly assessing illegal alien strike breakers were the primary method ag corporations would use to oppose the UFW, and organized UFW militia units to patrol border areas to turn them in. The 100th anniversary of his birth occurs in a couple of weeks and it was gonna be real inconvenient for the current crop of Progressives who equally violently support the right of illegal alien gangbangers and kiddie r*pists to stay in the US to have people pointing to a Brown man they revere almost as much as dictators like Castro and thugs like Che with views like that. They had to cancel him somehow.
The Gulf Arabs are incandescent with rage. At the head of that is is MBS of Saudi Arabia. I suspect the current thinking is a Gulf Arab coalition force will seize Bandar Abbas and its environs just after the US Marines take Queshm island. Longer term the straits will probably be held by an international authority led by Saudi Arabia.
Saint Croix said...

This is not intended to refute your point but as matter of correcting the record, Trump was far from the first President to visit Saudi Arabia. Obama alone went there four times during his Presidency, as well as FDR, Nixon, Clinton, and both GHWB and GWB.
Its very unlikely the IRGC can counterattack US/Arab landings at Bandar Abbas. There is no way they can concentrate significant forces there without being interdicted and/or simply blasted from the air.
One of the reasons Israel has a different approach to this war is they have the US picking up a huge chunk of the tab. If Israel had to pay for its own defense they might engage their neighbors diplomatically instead of militarily. Trump was dog walked into fighting Israel’s war. The people of the US are being dog walked into paying for it. See the 200 billion dollar request to congress to pay for this disaster.

Charlie Kirk had been counseling against war with Iran when he was killed.
Also Joe Kent, who resigned over the Iraq War, head of counter terrorism, claimed that he had been blocked by the Trump Administration from investigating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In one of Charlie Kirk's last videos, he claimed that his past support of Israel, and "belief in prophecy" made him "bulletproof" when he criticized Israel's genocide in Gaza.
It was that video, BTW, that sent me down the rabbit hole of looking into "Christian Zionism" a heretical branch of Christianity that believes that those who help Israel take over the Middle East will be blessed and pave the way for the second coming of Jesus. Our "Secretary of War," BTW, goes to "Bible study" class every week.
Speaking of Keg's breath, he both says that the military should be unconstrained the the rules of war, and got rid of review of targets to prevent war crimes, as too constraining, and then said that we don't hit civilian targets, which is it Pete?
That's one of those questions that you have to allow your mind to work freely to understand, BTW. If you come into every debate defending your position first and foremost, you probably are genuinely wondering what I am on about.

The main problem I see with actually seizing Kharg Island and other locations associated with oil export in Iran is the Chinese are going to have a full-on hair-on-fire freak-out over us taking control (and given that's where the bulk of their oil imports come from, it would be justified). The threat might be good as the action in terms of getting Xi to pressure any Iranians he has contact with to negotiate (with assurances of oil access if he does), or maybe we can finisse some sort of occupation by a token force of Gulf Arabs or the 'Free Iranian State' after the Marines do their job but it is sobering to recall control of oil reserves precipitated the last big war we fought in the Pacific.

There, R's, just say that. Nice 10-second sound bite. Why is that hard?
Probably because there’s not actually a “real problem” and voter fraud in any form is a rare occurrence with very insignificant numbers.
I get why a simple “10-second sound bite” is appealing—it sounds decisive and easy to act on. But that argument runs into the same problem the 2020 election claims did: it doesn’t hold up when tested in the real world.
After the 2020 election, there were dozens of court cases, audits, and investigations across multiple states—including ones run by Republicans. Those claims of widespread ballot stuffing weren’t proven in court, where evidence actually matters.
That doesn’t mean fraud is impossible—it exists at small levels—but there’s no credible evidence of the kind of large-scale “non-human voting” being suggested here.
So the challenge isn’t coming up with a sharper sound bite—the hard part comes when policymakers try to build laws or win cases around claims that haven’t been demonstrated with evidence, or better yet, built on propaganda and lies.
"As an American, I want affordability..."

Third party oils shipments are allowed to go to Cuba for humanitarian reasons. It's part of the embargo agreement.
@RJW, in their last negotiation session claimed to have 460 kg of enriched uranium, “enough for 11” nuclear weapons. Were they bluffing? If so they bluffed into a straight flush.
@Saint Croix, now try to convince me you picked Texas and VCU over BYU and UNC, respectively.
Has anyone asked Trump what he's feeling in his bones today?
Spurs?
Big Mike, you’re arguing maximum theoretical potential, not actual weapons. Experts dispute that Iran posed an immediate threat nuclear threat. Using that claim alone to justify a strike skips a lot of technical and intelligence gaps.
But if that’s the one you chose of the smorgasbord of incoherent and incomplete reasons coming from team Trump, I guess go for it.

"As an American, I want affordability..."
“Stop voting for Democrats. If you won't do that, you're lying about the "affordability" thing.“
I’m thinking how things were when Hoover, GWB, and Trump 45 left office and how the new Democratic presidents turned things around.
And come to think about it, things were looking pretty good when Trump 47 came in and promised cheaper groceries on day one.
On affordability, are you better off than you were 4 years ago?
Actually, Big Mike properly paraphrased the Iranian Foreign Minister's argument.
For RJW
" Johnston flagged in a March 12 post that over 370,000 ballot images from the original Nov. 3, 2020, count are missing."
This is over and above the 100 boxes of ballots that are missing.
Rusty, much can be posted, flagged, and claimed. What do verified sources—courts, audits, and election officials—actually say about these specific claims?
All my brackets are toast. All 40 of them. Grrrr.
BYU and UNC both blew me up.
I did have a nice couple hours dreaming what I could do with a billion dollars.
I was super impressed with St. Louis. Milk Chamberlain! Cream Abdul-Jabbar. Man they look good. I made a small bet that they make it to the Final Four. I got 46 to 1 odds.
Russia Offered to Stop Helping Iran Target U.S. Troops in Exchange for Relief in Ukraine ~ WSJ
Ukraine is helping the Gulf states with their anti-drone defense. Russia is helping Iran. So, what does Trump do? Lift Russian sanctions and cut Ukraine defense munitions.
The Bible says no one can serve two masters but Trump is Bibi’s attack dog and Putin’s guard dog.

These are the documents that the FBI and the Justice department are looking for. They know they exist because the state and the election officials are on record that they have them. Do some research of your own.
