The three judges on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals have approved a writ of mandamus ordering Judge Emmet Sullivan to dismiss the case against Michael Flynn. [pdf here]
The panel ruled 2-1, that U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan overstepped his authority in not accepting the unopposed motion and questioning prosecutors’ decision. This is a big victory for the Flynn defense team. Not sure what Sullivan will do now.
Judges Karen Henderson and Neomi Rao supported the writ, judge Robert Wilkins did not. Henderson was the surprise vote.
Writing the majority opinion Judge Neomi Rao noted, “in this case, the district court’s actions will result in specific harms to the exercise of the Executive Branch’s exclusive prosecutorial power.” “If evidence comes to light calling into question the integrity or purpose of an underlying criminal investigation, the Executive Branch must have the authority to decide that further prosecution is not in the interest of justice,” Rao added.
Before NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared on CNN with Don Lémon to discuss his now disproven racial “noose” targeting, he had a decision to make. Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL. Bubba Wallace chose the latter.
As a result of Wallace’s new identity, and his announced career goals, NASCAR will now fragment in the same way as the National Football League. Social justice will now define Mr. Wallace’s professional effort; driving with NASCAR becomes a method to achieve his new career aspirations. That inflection point, his identity choice, is clear in his interview.
However, before getting to the interview it is worth looking at how this entire fiasco was created, starting with the carefully obtuse explanation from Richard Petty Motorsports:
Obviously Richard Petty’s team are socially woke and enlightened to their obligations in a new era of racial sensitivity. Notice the careful wording: “discovered a rope tied in the fashion of a noose”, key word “fashion.” The careful wording allows the statement to skirt on the fringes of common sense truth because they don’t ‘technically’ say it’s a noose; quite simply, because it isn’t. If it were a noose it would be useless as a garage door pull.
That brings up the second obtuse aspect of the sentence: “discovered a rope”, notice they don’t say it was attached to the garage door pull (which it was) because that would make their misinterpretation seem even more ridiculous. Saying ‘we discovered a garage door pull-down rope that appeared to be fashioned as a noose’, would illicit eye-rolls. So they carefully avoid noting their stupidity by ignoring common sense.
“According to established protocols our team notified the crew chief”, so they have protocols for nooses at Richard Petty Motorsports? Of course they don’t. They have protocols for making stupid stuff into bigger stupid stuff by notifying ever increasing pearl-clutchers. If you’ve ever worked in a corporate setting, you know the nonsense that can flow from a particular squeeky noisemaker who enjoys attention. Same/Same.
From that moment forward NASCAR, the corporate side; the public relations, brand image and risk management side; took over. Thus the culturally sensitive and politically correct NASCAR President, Steve Phelps, soon found himself in the motor-home of Bubba Wallace crying and explaining that “a hate crime has been committed against him.” Yes, that’s what happened (it’s in the interview).
Throughout this event, from the moment the garage door pull was defined as a “noose”, common sense was displaced by an overwhelming urge to be appropriately sensitive to the slightest possibility that something terribly untoward may be afoot. The 800lb gorilla in the corner of the decision-making space is NASCAR’s intention to find a new culturally diverse audience. A corporations cultural direction once again drowned common sense.
Within the interview Bubba Wallace waxes poetically about how much he appreciated Steve Phelps sensitivities; and how President Phelps is just the right kind of woke-minded leader to carry NASCAR into the social justice era against the hordes of deplorable redneck rubes they are now trying to outrun. CNN host Don Lemon is giddy with praise for such an enlightened relationship and praises young Wallace for his millionaire fortitude to be able to withstand emotional pain; and yet overcome the adversity of being a victim.
Not to skim the point, the choice of CNN’s Don Lemon as a brother in the movement, facilitating Wallace’s inflection point, professional identity and first public comments since the FBI debunked the “hate crime” in question, should not be overlooked. Again, when you have to pretend not to know things, it is wise to lean upon a fellow traveler.
Within the interview Bubba Wallace accepts the FBI finding that he was not a target. However, in keeping with his new identity, Wallace doubles down on the false narrative that a “noose” was indeed created by some racist entities in NASCAR.
Wallace’s overt inference -and it isn’t at all subtle- is that racist teams are running amok in the sport, tying random nooses on garage doors, and Bubba welcomes the challenge of overcoming their racial adversity. In short, Bubba Wallace calls some of those who just joined him in a unity parade, racist NASCAR participants who tie nooses.
That victim outlook permits Wallace to further proclaim his mission to bring NASCAR to “an entirely new audience of followers” who have -in his words- demanded that he “place himself on a pedestal” to do battle with the racist NASCAR elements that surround him.
So there you have it… you can watch it in the interview. Bubba Wallace is to NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick was/is to the NFL. If he loses a sponsor, it’s racism. If he’s bumped in a race, it’s racism. If he doesn’t win, and/or as a result of poor performance questions arise about losing his ride, yep, racism.
By doubling, tripling and quadrupling down; with anger and disdain toward any who would counter him with common sense; on the completely false assertion that a garage door with a “loop knot” or “scaffold knot” is a noose, Wallace attempts to shield himself by weaponizing his race. Any challenge to his defined noose narrative is racism.
And you know what,… it will work.
How can I be so certain that his approach will work? The answer is really quite simple.
Think about how weak an organization needs to be in order to permit a ridiculous garage door rope with a loop on the end; becoming such a ridiculously overblown issue that the corporation would organize an full-throated PR campaign around a hoax; while the leader of the organization sobs in the trailer of a falsely identified hate-crime victim.
In essence, weak organizations are a breeding ground for communal stupid; and every one of them ends the same way. Both the NFL and NASCAR are following the same woke business plan. Watch his interview, you’ll see it:
The line has been crossed. Government guidelines have overtaken and undermined the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. Medical professionals need to read it again.
We knew it was coming when the institution of the fascist Obamacare – the Affordable Healthcare Act went far beyond its socialist boundaries – compelled medical personnel to make impertinent and unrelated lifestyle queries, gun ownership among them.
The overblown response to the WuFlu coronavirus has ushered in another chapter of data collection and regulation
The overblown response to the WuFlu coronavirus has ushered in another chapter of data collection and regulation that is being used to restrict the rights of citizens, and it’s infected even the most conservative states.
Weaponizing emergency, urgent care and hospital policy was a major step. Entrance into these facilities requires mandatory temperature reading, donning a facemask (proven to be useless against the spread of the disease) before an employee will tend to the visitor.
Recent events have shown that the CDC has pressured doctors and nurses to view every potential patient as a Covid-19 carrier, disregarding the individual’s complaint as superfluous. Personnel are armed with a sketchy list of possible WuFlu symptoms that could describe seasonal allergies to heartburn, and the first thing done by healthcare workers is insist that the patient be tested, which they are still free to refuse. Refusal, however, is close to becoming a black listing. Don’t be surprised when rejecting a test will brand the individual as a danger to society. Dictatorial states like Washington have already implemented contact tracing, where “trained interviewers” knock on doors and take names.
The objective behind pressuring individuals to be tested is to boost case numbers in order to validate the overreaching regulations being implemented by government agencies. Should the individual refuse to be tested? That’s hardly an obstacle. Medical professionals are being directed to report “probable” infections based on the catchall list of symptoms.
Personal encounters with individuals who have been victimized by these policies have occurred twice in the last week.1 Visits to urgent care for already diagnosed problems unrelated to Covid-19 resulted in nurses and doctors disregarding the complaints of the patients and redefining the symptoms as probable WuFlu cases without hearing or considering the patient’s history or actual complaint.
In one instance, the patient entered the care facility to receive attention for obvious sinus blockage related to annual pollen allergies. She had passed the temperature roadblock by not exhibiting a fever, yet the nurse practitioner (NP) on duty refused to hear the patient’s complaint, telling her that she showed signs of Covid-19, completely disallowing even a cursory medical history that would have quickly revealed the cause for her stuffy nose.
It was a nonsensical determination since the woman had been at home with her disabled husband for the last few months having little contact with the public. The facts did not deter the nurse practitioner from insisting the patient was a likely Covid case.
The patient’s husband had just been admitted into the hospital for atrial fibrillation (AFib), and it was necessary that she stay with him as the only one who could interpret his needs after a stroke had impaired his ability to communicate. On the grounds that just being tested for the coronavirus would prevent her from entering the hospital for three days to assist her husband, she refused a test. She was at urgent care to receive a remedy for post-nasal drip, not an upper respiratory ailment.
That did not stop the NP from overstepping her bounds by completely disregarding the actual symptoms of the patient and reporting the woman to the hospital as a potential Covid case.
What this medical employee did, and this is not the only report received of irresponsible behavior by healthcare workers, was create undue emotional distress and hardship for the couple by attempting to bar the woman from attending her sick husband who had no other advocate. That NP and the policies of the hospital placed his life in danger because the healthcare workers on staff weren’t able to fully understand him. If the woman had not managed to get herself up to his room before the NP called in the unsubstantiated report to the nurses station, the woman would have been refused entry, preventing proper care for her husband. In fact, the nurse supervisor attempted to eject the woman from the hospital at 12:30 a.m. The supervisor was unsuccessful because the wife did not have transportation available at that late hour but the hospital did boot her from her husband’s room the next day and has since denied her re-entry. (Update: the husband was just diagnosed with cancer and she is still being locked out of the hospital for suffering seasonal allergies.)
Rush to restrict free movement of individuals
Situations like this are becoming commonplace amid the rush to restrict free movement of individuals, unless they happen to be participating in Antifa protests spawning murder and destruction as in Seattle’s “CHOP.”
What is true is that the pandemic is an epidemic of government repression focusing on tracking individuals in their activities (if they tend toward freedom of conservative speech and religious expression) and confine them to living separate, censored lives. This is the only way the progressive agenda can press ahead. Inexcusably, too many republican officials and administrators accept the propaganda, ignoring their constitutional duty and becoming accessories to creeping tyranny.
Recommendation? Refuse testing for the virus. The vast number of false positive results make it of no use. Refuse vaccination when it is finally offered for being ineffective. Vaccines have proven to infect individuals more often than protect them against viruses. Do not relent from speaking out against ineffective, vain regulations being forced upon individuals under the guise of seeking a cure.
The only cure available to a free society is to adamantly maintain our mobility and freedom to conduct business without social limits, gather with friends in public and worship without constraints.
This nation was designed to protect and defend commerce, unrestricted speech and religious pursuits, never to suppress liberty.

In the aftermath of the George Floyd incident, everyone seems to want to have a conversation about race in America.
Just recently, presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, asserted that if you couldn’t decide whether to vote for him or President Trump, “you ain’t black.”
”So, let me clarify something: I was born in February 1961 in a “Blacks only” hospital, Hughes Spalding, in Atlanta, Georgia. I was raised by a proud Black man, Herman West Sr. and woman, Elizabeth Thomas West in the historic Old Fourth Ward neighborhood in Atlanta. My Mom and Dad are buried, together, in Marietta National Cemetery because of their service to our Nation.
BLM is just another leftist organization created by the same ilk of progressive socialists who created the NAACP
The Old Fourth Ward is the same neighborhood that produced Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and where the American civil rights movement emanated, “Sweet Auburn Avenue.”
There is a high possibility that I have forgotten more black history than some may ever learn — or certainly know. I just authored a book titled, “We Can Overcome, An American Black Conservative Manifesto.”
I do not need to “qualify” my being Black based upon some pre-determined ideological agenda. I was raised to believe that I was an individual who could think and believe as I determined. I was taught that America is a place where regardless of where you were born, where you came from, there was an equality of opportunity.
That equality of opportunity has enabled me to attain immense success for myself and set the conditions for the success of my two daughters. My wife Angela, an accomplished former marketing professor and financial adviser, and I now teach our daughters about the perils of equality of outcomes, and those who cleverly disguise that intent within the cries of social justice.
With this being stated, I am tired of our Nation cowering, appeasing, acquiescing, and surrendering to this absurd organization calling itself Black Lives Matter (BLM). There is nothing true or sincere about this ideologically aligned progressive socialist, cultural Marxist organization.
BLM is just another leftist organization created by the same ilk of progressive socialists who created the NAACP. When one reviews the goals and objectives of BLM, they have nothing to do with the real issues facing the Black community in America. The focus of BLM is to cleverly advance the leftist ideological agenda under the guise of a witty name that forces people into guilt, shame.
I am tired of these businesses and corporations being shaken down by BLM
I do not need any white person in America to kneel before me, apologize, wash my feet, or as the insidious comment of Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, shine my shoes. I did a doggone good job of shining my own boots during my career in the US Army — that was my individual responsibility, in which I took great pride.
I am tired of these businesses and corporations being shaken down by BLM to the tune of some $464M, $50M right here in my home of Texas. Why?
Black Lives Matter does not support the critical civil rights issue of this day. The major civil rights issue in America today is educational freedom. How many young black kids are relegated to failing public schools in failing neighborhoods? Where does BLM stand on that issue? They stand with the progressive socialist left and the teachers unions. Ask yourself, has BLM ever condemned the action of Barack Obama in April 2009 to cancel the DC school voucher program?
Yesterday was Father’s Day. How many young black kids are growing up without a father in the house, a strong positive role model, like my Dad, US Army Corporal Herman West Sr.? The policies of the progressive socialist left decimated the traditional two parent household in the black community. What does BLM say about the traditional, nuclear, two parent (man and woman) household? They say that is a tool of white supremacy.
If there is to be a conversation about the rule of law in America and the black community, let’s have that honest conversation. However, BLM wants us to believe that there is some focused, dedicated, intentional genocide being enacted against the Black community by law enforcement.
In 2019, there were a total of nine white law enforcement officer shootings of unarmed black men. Yet, how many blacks have taken to the streets to kill other blacks? And where is the outrage from BLM?
I have never heard Black Lives Matter speak up, speak out, or speak against Planned Parenthood. Why?
But, even worse, since 1973 there have been over 20 million unborn black babies murdered in the wombs of Black mothers. The organization mostly responsible for the industry of murdering unborn babies is Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood was founded by a known white supremacist, racist, a woman who spoke at Ku Klux Klan rallies — Margaret Sanger. Planned Parenthood has over 70 percent of their “clinics” located in black communities across America.
I have never heard Black Lives Matter speak up, speak out, or speak against Planned Parenthood. Why? Simple, the white progressive socialist masters who fund, resource, and enable Black Lives Matter don’t give a darn about the lives of Black children.
I could go on, but I think you get my point. Black Lives Matter is an oxymoronic and disingenuous organization. As a proud American Black Man, I find Black Lives Matter an offensive and condescending organization whose hypocrisy is blatantly evident. Yet, thanks to the lucrative support of the white progressive socialist collective elitists, it survives, and extorts financial support from the useful idiots in our corporate structure.
All lives matter, but this radical organization, Black Lives Matter, is the ultimate Trojan Horse. The consistent purveyors of systemic racism in America is the Democrat Party. They have smartly devised this organization to enable their ends, the proliferation of the 21st century economic plantation. Black Lives Matter serves as overseers on this plantation, stoking the irrational emotionalism and angst to support their agenda, their purpose.
What is the purpose? Simple. The new plantation of the left is not about producing cotton. It is about creating victims who will be dependent, and produce the new crop — votes.
In the Hague protests, here is a video showing that the police are pretending to be protesters and aggravating the protest to increase its violence. This clearly shows that the police are not there for the people, but still to protect the state against the people. Here, they dragged a boy; the crowd began to chase them, and they ran back to their police van. Some believe they are doing this to justify further lockdowns using police to make things appear more violent
Bill Gates and Microsoft have been banned in Russia. This is seriously preventing Bill Gates’ dream of vaccinating the entire world so he can track everyone. Russia is going to add Bill Gates to the blacklist along with George Soros and Jacob Rothschild.
The entire scheme of Microsoft and the others is to take everything that we do, create profiles, and then sell that to companies to endlessly market stuff to us. If I am paying for a program like Windows, I do not want endless updates that are really phishing for everything I do. They are not satisfied with paying for a product. They much destroy all privacy for a buck.
It is ironic that perhaps the only free countries will be China and Russia since the West has chosen to run into the arms of Gates and his consortium. Russia and China collapsed under Marxism in 1989. We are now faced with the second wave of Marxists determined to create a Marxist world despite the fact it has never worked. Guess what — they are right on time. The collapse of Communism was 1989.95; add 31.4 years, and we arrive at 2021.35 perfectly as we head into the Monetary Crisis Cycle.
Putin is at least protecting the Russian people against the manufactured pandemic. There are far about 9.5 million people who die every year from cancer compared to Bill Gates’ virus of fewer than 500,000 deaths worldwide. About 645,000 die of heart attacks annually. There are about 15.2 milliondeaths annually from various diseases. We do not hear about that every night on CNN delivering a daily death count. If they did, it would probably also change behavior. In comparison, Gates’ virus is overly exaggerated for the sole purpose of terrorizing people into complying with his agenda.
QUESTION: You wrote: “Unfortunately, our legal system FAILS to protect people. It allows the government to do whatever it desires and then puts the burden on the people to go to court which takes years to get to the Supreme Court who may just rubber-stamp the government anyway. Our legal system is wholly inadequate and it encourages tyranny as we are experiencing right now.”
Could you elaborate for a student studying law?

ANSWER: In HARRIS v. McRAE, 448 U.S. 297 (1980), when someone argued that the government should create a program to help the people, the Supreme Court suddenly ruled that the Bill of Rights is NEGATIVE and not POSITIVE. Therefore, there is nothing in the Constitution that compels the government to create any welfare program. Therefore, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is a RESTRAINT upon government. It is entirely illogical that you can then waive ANY right for that is constructively amending the Constitution and allowing the government to kill you, torture you, or do whatever it desires.
Then Congress abused its authority when it passed the Judiciary Act of 1925. Nevertheless, courts try to pretend that it was constitutional. In Doyle v. Roberts, 463 F. App’x 50, 51–52 (2d Cir. 2012) where the argument was that it provided unlimited discretion to the Supreme Court over whether to grant certiorari petitions. The Second Circuit rules that Section 1254(1) provides that “[c]ases in the courts of appeals may be reviewed by the Supreme Court by … writ of certiorari granted upon the petition of any party to any civil or criminal case, before or after rendition of judgment or decree.” Doyle argued that there were no rules for granting certiorari and that violated the non-delegation doctrine. They rejected that argument. The Second Circuit ruled that there are few things are more appropriate to the central mission of the judiciary than the high court’s ability under § 1254(1) to manage its caseload by selecting from among more than 10,000 petitions each year the cases in which Supreme Court review will most assist not only the parties but also the lower federal courts, the coordinate branches of government, and the public at large. Id. at *2 (quoting Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 388, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989)) (internal citations omitted) (alteration in original).
Constitutionally, the people are denied Due Process of Law by the Judiciary Act of 1925 which diminishes the majesty, integrity, and the intended structural foundation of the Judiciary which has denied the ABSOLUTE right under the Constitution to petition the ONLY court created by the founding fathers which is this Supreme Court. All other inferior courts are purely statutory courts under Article III, and as such, they can be closed by Congress upon the signing of any act. Article II, Section 1 states clearly:
“The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”
Consequently, the Certiorari Act of 1925 cannot stand as constitutional, giving this Court the discretion to decide whether or not to afford a citizen his Due Process Right to be Heard. The discretion in the Constitution is confined to Congress’ discretion to create inferior courts. Under strict construction, it cannot limit the power of this court to be discretionary for that would defeat the entire structure of the Constitution. The Supreme Court is the only court ordained for the people in a tripartite government originally envisioned by Montesquieu and adopted by the framers of the Constitution necessitated the separation of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.
Under strict construction, there is no authority in the Constitution to downgrade the Supreme Court as a discretionary court when it is the one court created by the framers and cannot be diminished by Congress. “[I]t is a Constitution we are expounding.” M’Culloch v Maryland, 17 US 326 (1819). “The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land and binds every forum whether it derives its authority from a state of from the United States.” Cook v Moffat 46 US 295 (1847). The Supreme Court held that 28 USC §455 statute government recusal of judges was intended “to provide public confidence in the integrity of the judicial process.” Liljeberg v Health Serv v Corp, 486 US 847, 859-860 (1988). That lofty goal cannot be upheld as long as judges in inferior courts know that the odds of ever being overturned by the Supreme Court are on par with winning the lottery.
Therefore, I do not believe that Congress had the power to reduce the Supreme Court to discretionary rather than fund it to add additional panels to hear every case and then appeal to the top nine justices.
All of this controversy because Trump says testing for COVID should slow down and Fauci says no way. I have stated I made the mistake of going to an ER and all they want to do is find you have COVID. I was sent to a COVID isolation unit for 2 days and then to get out you must have TWO COVID tests come back as NEGATIVE because they do not trust their own tests. I have now found that getting simply routine blood work they include COVID. I have now been tested for COVID 5 times in a month and they all are NEGATIVE.
The press wants to bash Trump as if he is endangering society daring to say COVID testing should be slowed. I have given up going to any medical services period! Every time you walk in you need a mask, you tell them you have been tested 5 times for COVID and they reply: Ya, but when was your last?
I just give up. You can’t get regular medical attention anymore. This COVID scare has destroyed medical care. You walk in and they have to take your temperature and God help you if you have the flu or are sick for any other reason – off to COVID isolation you go.
So where do I fit into these statistics? Am I now a five-time recovered COVID patient because they stuck me in a COVID Isolation unit for two days?
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s magnitude was 7.7, while Mexico’s seismological institute put its strength at 7.1. Quakes of such size can be devastating. Historically, when strong earthquakes hit this region, we tend to see smaller quakes hit in the New York City area. Meanwhile, the Indonesia volcano Mount Merapi’s is also starting to erupt and that has been the area where the volcanic activity has been large enough in history to create volcanic winters. In Europe, crops are already behind season in many areas because of a very cold May/June.
Earlier today President Trump commemorated the 200th mile of border wall being built along the U.S-Mexico border. [Video and Transcript]

[Transcript] – Q Can I ask question on the wall: How’s it looking?
THE PRESIDENT: I think it’s great. It’s great. It’s going to be — it’s really foolproof. It’s solid steel. It’s rebar and concrete inside the steel. So we have a very heavy concrete inside the steel. And inside the concrete, we have rebar. So you have everything you could have. It’s what they wanted, and that’s what we did.
Any questions?
Q Mr. President, with all the problems that we’re facing right now, why are you determined to end DACA at this time — with unemployment, with COVID?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re looking at it. We’ll work it out with DACA. I think good things are happening with DACA. They resubmit, but we’ll work it out. And the Democrats have been playing with DACA for years, and they haven’t done anything. I’ll get it done. I’ll get it done. And we’ll — good things will happen for DACA recipients, and pretty soon.
Q Is there a message for DREAMers?
THE PRESIDENT: So, we’re going to — yeah. The message is: Put your chin up. Good things are going to happen. You’ll watch. Okay?
Q Why was the suspension on green cards necessary?
THE PRESIDENT: You have to talk up.
Q Suspension on green cards: Why was it necessary?
THE PRESIDENT: So we want to give jobs to Americans right now. Right now we want jobs going to Americans.
Any other questions? Okay. Thank you all very much.
