The app for independent voices

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Wow, this came at the perfect time.

Today has been a slog.

No bursts of creativity nor flashes of genius.

Today was all about pushing through and not giving up (even though I really wanted to).

"This list of top five risks is bizarre. The world is in the middle of two major wars, the middle east is about to implode, and the biggest risk during year’s 2024-25 is “Misinformation and disinformation”

Misinformation and disinformation are code words for truth. Just like a kidnapper muzzles his victim with duck tape so they cannot sound the alarm, censorship is about to go through the roof so we can no longer sound the alarm. Substack will be a major target this year.

Eventually some big cont…

Bannon posted a New York Post story from yesterday (January 14th) titled "Supreme Court poised to end ‘constitutional revolution’ that’s marred US governance for 40 years."

"Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, from the District of Columbia Circuit, and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, from the First Circuit, are now before the court."

My layman's understanding here is these two cases before the court are challenges to "Chevron Deference," a subject previously touched upon by Dr. Malone. Surely it would be wonderful to see executive branch rule by fiat trimmed back, with rule making authority returned to the Article I (legislative) branch. COVID-19 has shined a bright light on unelected executive branch bureaucracy as tyranny.

Still, of course, we would not be out of the woods yet with power returned to Congress. I have seen legislation and committee discussion of digital IDs. But at least constituents have a better chance of registering their displeasure with their reps and senators than with faceless bureaucrats in an insular executive branch community.
