Thanks for the mix. I smiled when reading about the Houthis who managed to create a ballistic missile they used against an Israeli ship. Good for them!

I continue to frown at the efforts of the West to poke the Russian bear - there are way too many bloodthirsty people in Western power.

I think Ansar Allah put the missiles together from parts manufactured elsewhere. It is really difficult to create metal that will hold up to being white hot at hypersonic speed, and support guidance devices, and not blow up the payload.

Need an entire generation of US and UK citizens to refuse to serve militarily.

There's no way any Leadership could survive such a flat 'NO' to their orders. They'd either have to resign or they'd be thrown out of office literally.....

Perhaps I will look forward to that. I certainly do not want to see a generation of young men and women drafted. We all must say NO emphatically.

The Supreme Court has ruled to overturn the so-called 'Chevron Deference' dealing a huge blow to the so-called 'administrative state' that have enjoyed

In an 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority upended the 40-year administrative law precedent that gave agencies across the federal government leeway to interpret ambiguous laws through rulemaking.

Conservatives and Republican policymakers have long been critical of the doctrine, saying it has contributed to the dramatic growth of government and gives unelected regulators far too much power to make policy by going beyond what Congress intended when it approved various laws. The authority of regulatory agencies has been increasingly questioned by the Supreme Court in recent years.

Those on the other side say the Chevron doctrine empowers an activist federal government to serve the public interest in an increasingly complicated world without having to seek specific congressional authorization for everything that needs to be done.

As The Hill report, judges previously had to defer to agencies in cases where the law is ambiguous.

Now, judges will substitute their own best interpretation of the law, instead of deferring to the agencies - effectively making it easier to overturn regulations that govern wide-ranging aspects of American life.

This includes rules governing toxic chemicals, drugs and medicine, climate change, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency and more.

The move hands a major victory to conservative and anti-regulatory interests that have looked to eliminate the precedent as part of a broader attack on the growing size of the “administrative state.”

The Biden administration defended the precedent before the high court.

As Mark Joseph Stern writes on X:

"Today's ruling is a massive blow to the 'administrative state', the collection of federal agencies that enforce laws involving the environment, food and drug safety, workers' rights, education, civil liberties, energy policy—the list is nearly endless."

"The Supreme Court's reversal of Chevron constitutes a major transfer of power from the executive branch to the judiciary, stripping federal agencies of significant discretion to interpret and enforce ambiguous regulations."

Chief Justice Roberts, writing the opinion of the court, argued Chevron "defies the command of" the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs federal administrative agencies.

He said it "requires a court to ignore, not follow, 'the reading the court would have reached had it exercised its independent judgment as required by the APA.'"

Further, he said it "is misguided" because "agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do."

The liberals on the court are not happy:

"In dissent, Justice Kagan says the conservative supermajority "disdains restraint, and grasps for power," making "a laughingstock" of stare decisis and producing "large-scale disruption" throughout the entire government. She is both furious and terrified."

As Stern concludes:

"Hard to overstate the impact of this seismic shift."

Simply put, a massive win for the constitution...

The decision comes one day after the Supreme Court curtailed federal agencies' use of administrative law judges in another blow to the administrative state.

This is all theater until the last minute to keep us distracted until crunch time. Then something will happen to justify the installation of whatever puppet they have planned for us.

Foolish Americans, Trump will not save us either.

No. Driven into retirement by the KY Board of Medical Licensure case #467, 1994, where my license was suspended and the Board's decision was upheld by Chevron Deference (see todays ZH article about this being nullified by the SCOTUS) even though the statutes of KY Medical Practice Act required that I be held to the standards of my own specialty. The Board's own same specialty expert thoroughly exonerated me, thus the Board had no evidence. The Board suspended my license anyway. On Appeals the KY Appellate court wrote: "Great deference must be given to the Medical Board because they are the most knowledgeable about the practice of medicine."

Be careful of the Gateway Pundit story: it is not about censorship, and especially not about social media.

It has to do with two women who claim they were slandered in a news piece (Gateway Pundit is a news site) involving the 2020 Georgia election. The women, who had been election workers, complained and asked that the offending copy be removed and they be compensated monetarily. The site owner declared bankruptcy in order to avoid paying the women. Now the bankruptcy itself is being questioned in court. BTW, the women also sued Guiliani, won a big award, only to be blocked by Guiliani's bankruptcy filing.

Thank you for those clarifying details, Susan. Giuliani's bankruptcy makes more sense.

Thanks for putting in a plug for theRealDebate.com for tonight--even though you plan to vote for Jill Stein. I'm just wrapping up ~ 50 days of non-stop (with a little fun sandwiched in) of circulating petitions to put Kennedy on the Ballot in CO. Yes, he is pro-Israel but never in the ways these other two cow-tow to that state. He simply feels they have a right to defend their existence. I also was in turmoil about his position but just knew his level of integrity had to mean a higher consideration of this ugly situation. But did you happen to listen to this Kennedy podcast? I came away confirmed regarding his integrity. I really find hope in the positions held by both the Israeli woman and the Palestinian man who Kennedy interviews. They had such appreciation for each other and I have great appreciation for Kennedy calling them together and providing a platform for a higher vision for a future for these two states. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1K3hQdQb8pcoDFaSJxYJrH?si=qkRuc0s_QrKUJKoTEfqmlw&nd=1&dlsi=9766279d9f984db9 I hope you at least signed the petition to put him on the ballot in TX? :)

I intended to sign the Texas ballot petition, and went to a Kennedy site to do so, but I had already voted in the Texas primary, so I could not sign it.

I like him, and strongly suspect that he honors a treaty-for-his-life, made with the Mossad et al when his dad was assassinated. He has to know they had a large hand in it, and the reasons, the same reasons they had a hand in JFK's assassination.

I won't ever have time. I am always behind on languishing tasks, and the day's news-feed keeps coming.

I popped in and out of the debates, leaving a tab running with no sound, as my wife watched in the other room.

Kennedy certainly was the most presidential and seemed the most human and honorable, but he failed as badly on genocide as the other two.

Open-mouth-Biden lost...

Israel has no right to exist and no right to "defend" itself. It was formed as a Nazi state, has been a Nazi state, and still is a Nazi ethno-state. Great piece on Consortium News regarding Israel's history (which included sacrificing eastern European Jews who were seen by Zionists as inferior). I don't care if RFK thinks they have a right to "defend" themselves, he's being blackmailed and / or bribed to support a genocide.

Surviving Jews have an average IQ of 107. This is the clearest evidence of recent culling and genocide by Jews on their own people. Eugenics was popular in much of the world at the time.

CIA/Paperclip Nazis and Israel/Zionists are two wings of the same genocidal bird. This bird is called “Neocon” and it sits on the shoulder of the Demiurge.

I don't get the IQ info; could you explain? I don't find 107 to be particularly impressive, and of course Zionist indoctrination (wherever it takes place) does not contribute to people's intelligence. I totally agree with you about the two wings of the "same genocidal bird"! I am glad that some people are starting to realize who actually runs the U.S.

Jews claim to have 114 IQ but recently I heard a more realistic 107. But culling and eugenics can bring your average IQ up. Jewish ghettos had lots of inbreeding and filth and low IQ’s. But Jews like George Soro’s father rounded up ghetto Jews and sent them to German work camps in WW2. Jews culling their own and blaming Germans after the fact.

Jews have a spiritual vibe that is disturbing. They express any intelligence not with wisdom, but with the cunning of a hyena. Their practice of pilpul/disciplined lying destroys their thought processes.

Well, I tried to reply, but it disappeared. Anyhow, I decidedly do not agree with your analysis.

Too many gamma rays on the way to Mars, and the body breaks down in every way, too.

No way back. Die alone on Mars. Not good for our species.

This is our home. We need to do better.
