Brooks Warden Epilogue – Rejected by the Supreme Court, but Taking the Stage at the Grand Ole Opry

There is a joyful epilogue to a story I’ve been covering about a young man named Brooks Warden. Specifically, the story has been about efforts to get the Supreme Court to clarify that “reverse discrimination” in public schools is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Brooks Warden’s case didn’t get heard by the Supreme Court, but its filing got their attention. And with the coverage of Brooks’ case at The Federalist, Ace of Spades HQ, the Dr. Phil Show, and other outlets, it has received extensive national attention.

Brooks’ school days are well behind him now, and he’s moved on to his chosen career as a mechanic. He also sings. This past weekend he sang on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry with his father Monte Warden. Joining them were Brooks’ mother Brandi Warden and Federalist journalist Mollie Hemingway.

First, some quick background, and then further below is some video.

Brooks’ parents are personal friends of my wife and mine. Our friendship developed not because of politics, but because of shared musical passions. You don’t have to be friends of the Wardens to be repulsed at the abuse Brooks endured by the Austin Independent School District.

As I wrote back in April of this year following the filing of the writ of certiorari at the Supreme Court,

Among the abuses claimed by Brooks were a teacher calling him a racial slur; the Principal mocking Brooks and accusing him of listening to Dixie while wearing a headset; the Student Council President circulating a picture of Brooks as a Klansman; another student promising to kill Brooks and all Trump supporters; and a student beating Brooks up in a classroom while the teacher watched. That student is later alleged to have boasted about assaulting Brooks because of his race. As Brooks’ father documented, the Austin Independent School District never disputed or refuted any of this, they just chose to ignore the Wardens’ pleas to make it stop.

In July I reported on the disappointing news that the Supreme Court had denied certiorari, that is, it declined to hear the case.

When [Monte and Brandi] notified me earlier this week that SCOTUS had denied certiorari, they were obviously disappointed, but their disappointment was also mixed with an equal and offsetting pronouncement of patriotism and faith. They stressed that ultimately all of this is in the hands of a higher power, and they also know that Brooks’ ordeal, and the legal path they pursued, will help chip away at the ugly 21st century version of state-sanctioned racism.

Monte received an invitation to play at the Opry on August 16, the 48th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, so two of his three songs were Elvis numbers, including this rockin’ version of “That’s All Right Mama.”

Incredible night with @MonteWarden1 at the Grand Ole @opry paying tribute to Elvis tonight. That’s me singing backup!!! https://t.co/SKZfSyTvm9
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) August 17, 2025

The other song was a retro-rocking, jazzy gospel song called “Steadfast Love” that will get your feet moving and your soul pointed in the right direction.

I vote for c-130 aircraft. Incredibly versatile and cost effective to operate with the added benefit of LAPES-ing federal law breakers out the back without landing in their country. Just drop altitude to 50', slow to landing speed, and push that ass out the back. They can bribe the crew for a water landing if they want.

There's an entire fleet of aircraft devoted to the various government entities Kristi. You don't need your own "fleet" of aircraft. Use what's already at your disposal.

If need aircraft to move illegals in large numbers call FedEx or UPS. You'd probably get "bulk rates."

40 Words mean things. It is now shorthand to leave out the descriptor, but this is important - it is racial discrimination.

Discrimination by itself simply means making a choice. I “discriminate” against walking on dog crap, because I don’t like to do that. Or you might compliment someone by saying they have discriminating taste.

Unless the kids are dying in human wave attacks against prepared Russian positions, I suspect it won't be found in John Bolton's house.

86 Bolton forced to stand in his driveway in his scivies while the FBI Mar-a-Lagos his wife's underwear drawer. Couldn't have happened to a bigger prick. He lost his security clearance and can't have any of the copious notes he made while a gov official.

Fun fact: having a security clearance does not grant authority to possess classified material. It just means that you've been determined to be able to be authorized to view certain levels of classified material.

Lots of people misunderstand that. Including the people who have had security clearance. Despite the fact that they've, theoretically, been given training on the subject.

93 The thing about Bolton is, his book admits to possession of the classified document; admits the crime.

Here's what's funny: Doesn't the law require him to return them ASAP?

So the raid is a catch-22--either he has them now (a crime), or he failed to return them,(a crime) or he destroyed them (another crime).

She will stupidly sue over it, demanding he state the cause.

If the seditious conspiracy extends to journalists, as has been inferred previously, it can include talking heads who said knowingly false things in advancement of the conspiracy.

Bolton definitely did that on TV. He could be part of the seditious conspiracy investigation. A very small, largely inconsequential part except for what he may know about who told him what to say.

‘ I really don't get this position.’

I thought it was straight forward. This administration may be the only crack we get at the ‘Rat bastards. If they aren’t at least damaged severely by the time Trump leaves office, we will have a huge wave of tyranny coming our way.

At what point would you consider it ‘too late’ to run these people through prosecution?

I imagine it goes something like this. Do something that the media doesn't want to talk about.

Schedule a press conference on an unrelated matter, while preparing comments on the something that the media doesn't want to talk about.

Wait for the inevitable "gotcha" questions.
