Thursday on MS NOW’s “State of Play,” former White House lawyer Ty Cobb said non-citizens voting “is not a real scenario.” Host Peter Alexander said, “You have been very outspoken about this. You’ve warned that the president is, to use your language, stacking every card in the deck. What legal guardrails exist If the president does something severe, like say, declare a national emergency?” Cobb said, “So it’s very difficult, in the face of the president declaring a national emergency, invoking the Insurrection Act for the courts to respond in a timely way that would actually get troops off the…
Ratcliffe’s hush-hush visit may be less about Moscow than helping turn Baltic alarm and Brussels money into new business for US arms makers Speculation abounds over the reason for CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s recent trip to Moscow. Which probably could have been an email. Or a social media post. Just like everything else this administration does.Oooh, don’t tell me! He went to demand that Russian President Vladimir Putin not help Iran! Or he went to ask whether they’re still up for more speed dating to talk peace in Ukraine! Or maybe just to talk about swapping prisoners. Which happens fairly…

Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery. Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City. Attendees engage in sexually degenerate activities such as “whippings by a dominatrix priestess,” “circle jerks,” “c*ck fights” and orgies. Last year, a wicked dust storm kicked up on the first day of the festival and it ruined camp sites. Winds reached more than 45 miles per hour. This…
President of Argentina Javier Milei on Thursday threatened to impose sanctions on oil companies operating on or near the Falkland Islands, a British territory that Argentina insists has been rightfully Argentine for nearly two centuries.

Some of the measures include the construction of a new naval base in the Tierra del Fuego province, the establishment of a National Security Council, and “modernizing” Argentine military equipment. Milei signed some of the measures into law…
The city council for Democrat-run Danbury, Connecticut, voted to allow non-citizen migrants to serve as city police officers. The vote was taken in retaliation after federal immigration forces had recently conducted raids in the town. The city council members said that they voted to allow migrants to serve as cops to send a message to federal immigration officials. The vote was lopsided in favor of supporting illegals as only two of twenty council members voted against the measure, the Hartford Courant reported. The qualifications for police in the town now include DACA recipients and non-citizen legal residents. Left-wing city council…
Clancy’s defense lawyer Kevin Reddington on Friday afternoon launched a nasty attack against the one male juror who refused to acquit child killer Lindsay Clancy.

The young children, Cora (5), Callan (8 months), and Dawson (3), were found dead in the Clancy, Massachusetts, home’s basement. Lindsay Clancy admitted to killing her three children, however, her defense team is arguing she should not be found guilty by reason of insanity. On day seven of deliberations, the…

The International Criminal Court (ICC) dismissed a request to open an investigation into “systemic kidnappings in Nigeria” this week, media in the country report, on the grounds that the petition lacked “any legal basis.” The government of Nigeria, which has for over a decade downplayed the growing problem of genocidal jihadist violence in the country, complained following the dismissal that the court should never have entertained the request in the first place, as it should have gone to the ICC’s top prosecutor. The prosecutor position at the global court is currently empty after Prosecutor Karim Khan, who made a name…
Thursday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” former House Speaker Paul Ryan said “our politics are just fundamentally unserious right now.” Co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, “You have been on this debt issue that we have in this country since I’ve known you.” He asked, “Are you surprised, at least as I am, that this hasn’t become a bigger issue?” Ryan said, “I am surprised. What is frustrating is the Overton window in our politics is open for all these crazy ideas but closed for things like debt reduction. So our politics are just fundamentally unserious right now, and they used to…
The nature of Russia’s political system cannot by itself prove that sanctioned individuals control Russian-linked companies, judges have ruled The EU’s top court has rejected claims that the nature of Russia’s political system can be used as the sole justification to freeze assets belonging to Russian-linked companies, after bloc member Lithuania cited Russian President Vladimir Putin when taking action against an electricity supplier. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) made the finding on Thursday in a case involving Lithuania’s 2022 decision to freeze the funds of electricity supplier Inter Rao Lietuva, which was not itself on the…
