Justice KBJ Compares Blacks to Disabled Persons Incapable of Voting


Posted originally on CTH on October 15, 2025 | Sundance

It’s one thing to understand that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was DEI nomination to the Supreme Court, and another thing entirely to listen to her own words as she proves it.

During oral arguments in ‘Louisiana v. Callais’, a case before the high court considering whether Louisiana’s congressional map (which includes two majority-black districts), where plaintiffs in the case argue the congressional map is unconstitutionally gerrymandered based on race; Justice KBJ compares black people to disabled people.  The comparison for the argument she is trying to make is ridiculous.  Listen:

[SOURCE] There is no benefit in the color of skin that makes voting easier or more difficult. The tailoring of congressional districts to cluster all the black voters into congressional districts is itself ‘racism as policy.’

New York Times Reports on Presidential Finding Memo Authorizing CIA Activity in Venezuela


Posted originally on CTH on October 15, 2025 | Sundance

Last week the New York Times noted, “Michael Ellis, the deputy director of the C.I.A., has abruptly demoted a career lawyer who had been serving as the agency’s acting general counsel since January and installed himself in that role, according to people familiar with the matter.  […] It was not clear what was behind Mr. Ellis’s taking personal control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it”… (link)

Today the New York Times is reporting, “The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader.” […] The agency would be able to take covert action against Mr. Maduro or his government either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation. It is not known whether the C.I.A. is planning any operations in Venezuela or if the authorities are meant as a contingency.”

[…] “The new authorities, known in intelligence jargon as a presidential finding, were described by multiple U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly classified document.” (link)

Next Stop, Egypt – President Trump Travels to Sharm El-Sheikh to Meet With President al-Sisi and World Leaders


Posted originally on CTH on October 13, 2025 | Sundance 

After departing the celebratory festivities in Israel, President Donald Trump now travels to the other side of the conflict equation, a meeting with Egyptian President Fattah al-Sisi, European leaders and Mideast stakeholders.

President Trump travels to Sharm El-Sheikh where French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, other European dignitaries and representatives from Qatar, Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have arrived for the signing of the first phases of the Gaza peace deal.

Co-chaired by President Trump and Egypt’s ¹President El-Sisi, this summit advances post-war reconstruction and regional stability.  While there are a host of international leaders expected to be present, each of the regional leaders in the Mideast have expressed their trust in only Donald Trump.  President Trump is the fulcrum for what comes next.

Various news networks are carrying different segments of the overall visit. The most useful livestream links are below.

UPDATE: Video Added

.

¹Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is the perfect person for President Trump to partner with on this mission.  Use either the category search feature [Egypt and/or Qatar] or use the overall search feature to understand the long backstory of al-Sisi’s efforts to confront radical Islamic extremism.

President Sisi, who holds a common border with Gaza, has previously called out Qatar, banned the Muslim Brotherhood and then led a group including the Gulf Cooperation Council members to confront Qatar’s extremist enabling.

Israeli Knesset Welcomes President Trump with Massive Standing Ovation and Blaring Trumpets


Posted originally on CTH on October 13, 2025 | Sundance

The government of Israel is smartly leveraging all of their political will and praise to build influence with President Trump as he becomes the fulcrum, the Solomon of sorts, for the future of Gaza and all that follows.

On the other side of this precarious balance, comes the expectations of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and the entire Mideast region.

Only President Donald Trump is big enough for this moment of consequence. The geopolitical pressure from both sides of this generational inflection point cannot be overestimated.

Only U.S. President Donald Trump is significant enough to bear the responsibility and pressure of this moment. It is a remarkable testimony to a lifetime of steps that has brought him to this moment.

We are watching history….. And for that reason, the trumpets.
