Chuck Schumer Rules Out Stepping Down with Bidenesque Steadfastness
Hm, wait a sec, Biden wound up stepping down, right?
When Schumer pressured him to, and presented him with the real polling figures (which allegedly were hidden from Biden by his "subordinates") showing that he would lose over 400 electoral votes.WELKER: All right. Well, I do want to move to some of the discussions on Capitol Hill. Because of your decision, Leader Schumer last week, to clear the way to pass a Republican funding bill and avoid a government shutdown, you have faced calls from outside groups, even members of your own party, to step aside as minority leader. When asked about your future at a town hall, Senator Michael Bennet said, quote, "It`s important for people to know when it`s time to go." Leader Schumer, are you feeling pressure to step down? SCHUMER: Look, I`m not stepping down. And let me just say this, Kristen. I knew when I cast my vote against the C -- against the government shutdown that it would be -- that there would be a lot of controversy. And there was. But let me tell you and your audience why I did it, why I felt it was so important. The CR was certainly bad, you know, the continuing resolution. But a shutdown would be 15 or 20 times worse.This is causing all sorts of disarray for the Marxists. Bernie Sanders quit an interview when he was asked if he would support AOC's likely primary challenge against Schumer.

Judge Who Blocked Trump's Deportations Took Junket With Anti-Trump Sponsor and Anti-Trump Speakers
But of course he refuses to recuse himself.
Boasberg is also demanding Trump turn over national security documents to him concerning decision-making about the deportations. AG Pam Bondi now says Boasberg has no right to national security information.
A federal judge who recently halted President Donald Trump's deportation orders for illegal alien gang members attended a judicial conference funded and staffed by organizations and individuals with a history of anti-Trump rhetoric and activism. Key Details: Judge James Boasberg attended a Rodel Institute conference featuring speakers and sponsors openly hostile to President Trump and his policies. The event was funded by progressive foundations known for supporting anti-Trump immigration initiatives. Boasberg later blocked a Trump administration policy targeting the deportation of illegal alien gang members. Diving Deeper: Months before he issued a high-profile ruling to block deportations under President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attended a privately funded judicial fellowship event rife with anti-Trump speakers and sponsors. The July 2024 conference, held in the elite enclave of Sun Valley, Idaho, was part of the Rodel Judicial Fellowship program--a gathering that appears to have blurred the lines between judicial ethics and political activism. The event's sessions included ideologically charged topics like "The Role of Judges in a Democracy" and "The State of Democracy"--language nearly indistinguishable from the DNC's 2024 campaign rhetoric. According to ethics disclosures obtained by Just the News, Boasberg was one of twelve federal judges in attendance, nine of whom were nominated by Democrat presidents. The conference was underwritten by organizations that have aggressively opposed President Trump's immigration reforms. The Henry Luce Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and the Hewlett Foundation were all financial backers. These groups fund entities such as the Migration Policy Institute, the Brennan Center for Justice, and Documented--all of which have criticized Trump's approach to border enforcement and immigration law. Perhaps most concerning is the institutional ideology behind the Rodel Institute itself. Its CEO, John Kroger--a former Clinton advisor and Schumer aide--has publicly called Trump "disqualified" from holding office and decried Republicans' opposition to critical race theory as "undemocratic." Kroger also praised Biden's controversial special counsel Jack Smith and accused the Trump administration of undermining constitutional law. His leadership casts a shadow over any claim that Rodel's programming is nonpartisan.
Related: Bondi warned Jasmine Crockett about her agitation for political violence.
Pam Bondi, the attorney general under President Donald Trump, rebuked U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for attempting to obtain "national security information," calling his request improper and unconstitutional. "He's trying to ask us about national security information, which he is absolutely not entitled to!" Bondi told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. The comments came after Boasberg ordered a halt to deportation flights involving MS-13 members and other gang-affiliated illegal immigrants--many of whom were sent back to El Salvador just days prior. Bondi claimed that Judge Boasberg "dragged us into court on a Saturday" with little notice, a move she characterized as a judicial ambush. She said the administration remains undeterred and will return to court on Monday to continue its appeal. "We will win. We will prevail. There are 261 reasons why Americans are safer today, and that's because those people are now in an El Salvador prison," she added.
Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying the rain. What an amazing March so far. I'm grateful for that.
Attorney General Pam Bondi didn't mince words Sunday morning when she directly addressed Rep. Jasmine Crockett's inflammatory rhetoric toward Elon Musk. Speaking on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, Bondi emphasized the serious implications of Crockett's remarks, especially given her role as an elected official. "Nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we're going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country," Bondi said, underscoring the government's obligation to shield private enterprise from politically driven intimidation tactics. ... The "Tesla Takedown" movement, which has scheduled over 500 protests nationwide on March 29, coincides with Crockett's birthday--a date the Democrat has described as symbolic of her hopes to "see Elon taken down." The optics of a sitting congresswoman aligning herself with coordinated protests--some of which have already resulted in property damage--raises red flags about the growing radicalism within the DNC's activist base. As Bondi pointed out, Crockett's position as a lawmaker carries with it a heightened responsibility. "We are not coming off these charges," Bondi said, noting the DOJ's aggressive stance on any behavior that escalates from protest to criminal activity. "We are looking at everything, especially if this is a concerted effort."

THE MORNING RANT: Austin Successfully Killed the Golden Goose, and Its Depopulation Trend is Accelerating
While news of Austin losing population was shocking at the time, the trend has continued to accelerate. There was a net loss of 13,400 people in 2024.
With residents fleeing, there is a glut of houses for sale, and prices are plunging as the real estate bubble bursts. This is also deflating prices on homes in the surrounding suburban and exurban counties.
It is my hope that some of the depopulation is because of blue state colonizers returning to their natural coastal habitats, thus leaving Texas a little bit redder overall. Of course, there is also a steady exodus of regular people from Austin – those who just can’t take it anymore. From personal experience, I know that it is a goal of many normies to leave the oppressive and theocratically woke eco-leftism of Austin, as well as the social disorder it has wrought. My wife and I were among them. Back when Austin was simply weird, it was a delightful melting pot of politicos, educators, hippies, rednecks, musicians, and regular suburban Texans. Music bound those groups together. I can attest that I spent a lot of evenings in my younger days at joints like the Broken Spoke, Continental Cafe, and Green Mesquite, catching great new acts, some of whom went on to significant success. Unfortunately, Austin has also been pretty effective in killing off its legendary music scene. Apparently, tech bros and AWFLs just don’t foster a music scene the same way that hippies and rednecks once did, and now even the legendary SXSW Festival is largely ditching the music aspect that got the whole thing going.
Austin started to lose population in 2023, as the crush of exhausted citizens fleeing the “blue dot in a red state” started to exceed the number of incoming settlers. It wasn’t a huge number, just 2,500 net out-migration that year, but it was still significant in that the net incoming tide of people had been reversed.
“More People Leaving than Coming to Travis County [Austin] for the First Time in 20 Years” [CBS – Austin – 3/26/2024 This resulted in Austin falling out of the list of Top-10 US cities by population. “Austin falls out of top 10 largest cities in the US” [KXAN Austin – 5/17/2024]New numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show that for the first time in two decades more people are leaving Travis County than moving in.
While news of Austin losing population was shocking at the time, the trend has continued to accelerate. There was a net loss of 13,400 people in 2024.
People are fleeing Austin, TX in droves.

The city lost -13,500 people to outbound migration in 2024.
The biggest drop the city has ever experienced.
This outmigration has now caused Austin's housing market to collapse. With home prices down -19.5% over the last two+ years. pic.twitter.com/XwNuvWYoRy

The Morning Report — 3/ 24 /25 
All of this has created what appears to be a large circular firing squad between the old guard Democrats like Schumer et al and the crazy in your face anti-American Maoist Mau-maus like Titty-Caca Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk. All I can say is pass the popcorn while they openly expose themselves to a perhaps heretofore disinterested or blind majority of Americans who can no longer choose or are able to turn away. And as Trump's domestic and foreign policy successes will show in the coming months and years of his term, voting for anything other for America first candidates and policies is insanity. OF course, the now nakedly corrupt judiciary, especially at the lower levels and horribly underscored by the Supreme Court's refusal to reign them in, as well as Congress which despite a slim GOP majority also lacks the will to exercise its whip hand against an overreaching Judiciary. Naturally, the Democrats in both chambers are not going to be of any use. And on a not unrelated note, we have a very crucial special election a week from tomorrow here in my new home state of Wisconsin which has national repercussions. Yes symbolically it's being touted by the usual propagandist hacks as a referendum on Donald Trump. It's for a seat on the State Supreme Court.
A glance at the calendar shows that a week from Tuesday just happens to be April Fool's day. Given the nature of what the Democrats are doing to themselves, let's hope that that is a good omen for our side. If the best they can do is manufacture astroturfed rallies for Bernie and Titty-Caca where the two of them wind up sniping at each other, well pass the tree bark soup, call me Rocket Man, and let me warm myself by the glow of a burning Tesla dealership.
Not taking any chances, given what happened here in 2020 via the election thievery, so I will go out either today or tomorrow and vote early if not often and I urge all of my fellow Wisconsonians to do the same. Click here for the state's voting info site and look for your polling place or where you can vote early (early absentee in-person).
Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
That leftists are doing these senseless acts of violence however illustrates the mindlessness and bankruptcy of their movement. It has nothing but violence and hate to drive it. In an authoritarian society this violence and hate might lead to power and rule, but not in America. We still remain a nation of laws and rule by election. Violence and hate only leads to arrests and prosecution, fully supported by the general public. And it only lowers the support for any movement that engages in such barbaric behavior. Thus, this vandalism and swatting are merely the short term manifestations of a dying movement. As these thugs get prosecuted and sentenced to prison, the attacks will fade. And at that point, either the left will finally start to reassess its actions and policies, or it will die as a political movement. Don’t expect any reassessment, however. That the left has now descended to this idiocy indicates its inability to self-assess. It is so certain it is right that it thinks shooting itself in the foot is a sure way to win new adherents. Keep it up, Democrats! We on the right are thrilled you are proving yourselves to be this stupid.

Yes symbolically it's being touted by the usual propagandist hacks as a referendum on Donald Trump. It's for a seat on the State Supreme Court.
The most important election of the year arrives April 1, and will decide who controls the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The race pits Brad Schimel, the former Republican Attorney General, against Susan Crawford, a judge from heavily leftist Dane County. With the recent retirement of progressive justice Ann Walsh Bradley, the state’s highest court now stands deadlocked, with three conservatives and three liberals, so the winner will be the tie-breaking vote in what might be the swingiest of the swing states. The election has nationwide implications, in more ways than one. Democrats are attempting to make the race a referendum on President Trump’s most potent ally, Elon Musk. Here in Wisconsin, the party is currently running an ad that barely mentions Schimel — but instead attacks Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency. . . Musk has pumped millions of dollars into groups backing Schimel, so if Democrats successfully paint the conservative candidate as a Musk puppet, this strategy will undoubtedly spread nationwide. If liberals succeed in defeating Schimel based on DOGE’s handiwork, it might actually be Democrats who keep Musk in the news to use his influence as a talking point in the 2026 midterms. . . . . . The contest is also an early look at how voters feel about Trump’s second term. The president has won Wisconsin twice — each time with fewer than 20,000 votes, or less than 1% of the statewide tally.
Trump endorsed Schimel on Friday, calling Crawford a “Radical Left Liberal” who has been soft on crime, and effectively tying Schimel to his own agenda. “And if she wins, the Movement to restore our Nation will bypass Wisconsin,” Trump warned. A Marquette University Law School poll conducted in February showed Wisconsin residents split on Trump’s job performance, with 51% disapproving and 48% approving. (Musk fared worse: Only 41% of respondents viewed him favorably.)
The race also might indicate how much swing-state voters will be hearing about abortion in the near future. Democrats are pitching Schimel as an abortion extremist: In Wisconsin, pro-abortion activists have been unsuccessful in rescinding an 1849 law that bans abortion in the state. A 4-3 liberal state court majority would almost certainly do so.
But while Democrats have counted on abortion as a big election-winning issue in the post-Roe world, Republicans like Trump continue to win statewide here. If it fails to take out Schimel, liberals may be forced to drop abortion as their silver-bullet issue. And of course, Schimel’s election could thwart Democrats’ hopes of pushing changes through the courts that they can’t pass in the GOP-majority state legislature. And of course, Schimel’s election could thwart Democrats’ hopes of pushing changes through the courts that they can’t pass in the GOP-majority state legislature. Their top priority is overturning Act 10, former Gov. Scott Walker’s 2011 law that effectively ended collective bargaining for government unions.

What It’s Like To Be Swatted
- Under the headline, “Intelligence Assessment Said to Contradict Trump on Venezuelan Gang,” the Times cited unnamed “officials” claiming that the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, members of which the White House says are illegally in the U.S., is not in cahoots with the origin nation’s government. It’s an assertion in direct contradiction to the administration, which has justified the expedited removal of many illegal aliens by claiming that the Venezuelan government works with the gang to destabilize America.

Anti-Semitism May Be Offensive, But Should It Be Illegal?
Short Answer: No
Notice there is some real meat to that description! But it is mixed in with trivia. Teaching anti-Semitism while being funded by the government is vile, certainly inappropriate, and maybe even illegal. And teaching support for terrorist groups is almost certainly illegal. But what is definitely illegal is physical intimidation of Jewish students. Start there. But also include Christian students, who have been similarly intimidated and attacked for years too! Going after "anti-Jewish racism" is a nonsensical, feel-good idea. What does that mean? Some idiot college sophomore who believes the pro-Gaza nonsense spewed by protesters? So he hates Jews and Israelis? So what? That isn't illegal. It's like federal hate-crime charges piled onto some state charge. So how the criminal FEELS about his victim is going to be penalized? That's just dumb. Send him to jail for his actions, not his thoughts. Blocking students from walking across the quad to their classes is assault and battery. Blockading and vandalizing buildings is already illegal. We have plenty of laws covering that. And if the university administration allowed that criminality to occur, then charge the people responsible. And if the administration allows support for terrorism to be taught, then charge them and take away funding. But the best thing by far is exactly what has occurred across the country. The blatant anti-Semitic behavior that morphed into anti-Semitic actions has been exposed. The academy's dirty little secret is no longer hidden, and America sees the universities' true colors...and they don't like it! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X]
Short Answer: No
Brandeis famously stated that "sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants" in a Harper's Weekly article in 1913. It was true then and it is true now!
Brandeis didn't say, "Jail time is appropriate for bad thoughts," and that is a vital point. Am I defending anti-Semitism? No, of course not. I think it is stupid, flies in the face of everything we hold dear in our country with respect to our fellow citizens, and is ultimately counterproductive, as the Nazi nuclear program discovered to its chagrin. But it is an opinion, however misguided. It is a thought..a world-view...a prejudice. And we as Americans are entitled to our beliefs, and we have every right to shout them to the heavens! As usual the lazy, ignorant, derivative media reported President Trump's actions as the most jingoistic and trivial thing, rather than expanding on the actual intent of the executive order. Sadly, the White House's description falls into the same lazy pattern. Not nearly as bad, and much better written than the agrammatical drivel belched out by earnest 23-year-old senior reporters, but it still conflates anti-Semitism with actual criminality. Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Takes Forceful and Unprecedented Steps to Combat Anti-SemitismImmediate action will be taken by the Department of Justice to protect law and order, quell pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation, and investigate and punish anti-Jewish racism in leftist, anti-American colleges and universities. The Order demands the removal of resident aliens who violate our laws.

I Found Out Something That I Am Very Good At! 
I recently covered my wonderful and delightful experience with the USPS. It is from the February 27, "The Morning Rant". (Please do not comment on old threads or you will be lost in the bowels of some inner city USPS office.) Things just keep getting better with those inept government workers. Nah, I'm just giving you a hard time. Their incompetence, ignorance and apathy are truly outstanding traits displayed each and every time I deal with them. So to save wear and tear on our vehicles I signed up for Informed Delivery by USPS. Wow, just completely mind blowing or as an uncle of mine would say, "If shit goes in, then shit comes out." I'm learning that some things can sit around for at least one if not two business days before I am informed. Recently a friend of mine who lives in Madison (which is a four drive for me) mailed on March 11th paying for Priority Mail, with an expectant delivery time of 1-3 business days. When did I get notified of the mail? I wasn't. It arrived at our post office on March 19th 9AM. This according to my friend's tracking information. I stopped in the lobby on the 20th to pick up some other pieces of mail and I was pleased to see my documents arrive to me in one piece. Why in the hell it would take 8 days to travel 400 miles or so I have no clue. And they sure as hell don't. I won't get into the package that The Fabulous shipped off to a niece in a neighboring state. We just hope she receives it as it has sentimental value. I hope when the swamp is drained, the damn USPS goes down and doesn't clog the drain pipe.
