If you may recall, Chuck Schumer once stood at a public microphone as the leader of the Senate and threatened two Supreme Court Justices. Apparently, he won’t be paying any price for that dangerous stunt. And one report is offering up a very interesting reason for the lack of follow-through from U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, who was recently appointed to the interim position by President Trump — immediately after he took the oath of office, actually. Martin has been very vocal about his intention to investigate those who threaten government workers, including the DOGE team. Duly noted Threats against public officials at all levels – whether it be the president or a line federal worker – must stop. Our safe and beautiful capital city cannot be the home of such dangerous conduct from any side, at any time. We are on the case. https://t.co/4xYaXZ4cyz — U.S. Attorney Ed Martin (@USAEdMartin) February 17, 2025 But for Schumer’s comments back in 2020 clearly threatening the Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh in an attempt to halt the impending overturning of Roe vs Wade… No such justice has been forthcoming. Here’s a clip of Schumer’s threats for a refresher: In which Chuck Schumer threatens TWO sitting Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. pic.twitter.com/pA3mryeVK2 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) March 4, 2020 The video of Chuck Schumer’s threats came back into circulation online after a man was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s home. In 2022 a man armed with an array of weapons and tools was stopped a block from Kavanaugh’s home. He admitted he was there to kill Kavanaugh. Man with weapon detained near Brett Kavanaugh’s home. He allegedly told police he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice. https://t.co/lvfpCjMF5p — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) June 8, 2022 Deputy U.S. Marshalls actually spotted the man dressed in black as he stepped out of a cab in front of Kavanaugh’s home. He saw the officers, and then called 911 on himself after walking down the street, according to an NBC News report at the time: An armed man was arrested overnight near the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh after he called 911 on himself, law enforcement officials said Wednesday. Officials say the man, identified as Nicholas John Roske, 26, was armed with a handgun, a knife, pepper spray and burglary tools. He was stopped a block from the justice’s house. And when police detained him, he said he was there to kill Kavanaugh, the officials said. Deputy U.S. marshals spotted Roske — dressed in black and carrying a backpack and a suitcase — getting out of a cab in front of Kavanaugh’s house shortly after 1 a.m. ET Wednesday, according to a criminal complaint. Roske looked at the officers and then started walking down the street and called 911 on himself, the complaint said. Officials said the man called 911 and said that he had homicidal thoughts, that he had traveled from California to attack the justice and that he had a gun in his suitcase. He said the gun was unloaded and in a locked case. Officials said the man is from Simi Valley. He was still on the phone with 911 when police showed up to arrest him, the complaint said. He is alleged to have told investigators that he’d decided to target Kavanaugh because he was angry about the possibility that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade and about the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. He said he thought Kavanaugh would loosen gun laws. Roske said he’d planned to kill the justice and then himself, the complaint said. A search of his backpack and suitcase showed he was carrying a “black tactical chest rig and tactical knife, a Glock 17 pistol with two magazine and ammunition, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crow bar, pistol light, duct tape” and other items. Roske was charged in federal court in Maryland with attempting to murder a Supreme Court justice, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Even after that incident, no charges were brought against Chuck Schumer. In fact… there was never even more than a cursory glance by US Attorney’s, allegedly because DOJ higher-ups squashed any attempt to impanel a grand jury to look into Schumer’s threats. Though by all accounts, Martin did open inquiries into Schumer’s public statements. Letter of “inquiry” sent by Acting DC US Attorney Ed Martin ……he is investigating Schumer for his threats against SCOTUS Justices. Remember when……. pic.twitter.com/5cvxRpZRKW — Spitfire (@DogRightGirl) February 1, 2025 In fact… there is a memo stating exactly that, according to CBS News: Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, revealed he has opened inquiries into public statements of Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate, according to an internal memo to federal prosecutors in Washington. The inquiry will also review a public statement made by Rep. Robert Garcia, a second-term House Democrat from California, Garcia told CBS News. The U.S. attorney’s memo, which was obtained by CBS News, alleges the public statements of Democratic legislators could constitute a threat to Supreme Court justices and the newly hired employees of the Trump administration’s new Department of Government Efficiency, the DOGE operation linked to the world’s richest man and close ally of President Trump, Elon Musk. Mr. Trump appointed Martin to serve as acting U.S. attorney for D.C. hours after he was inaugurated last month. Martin, a one-time activist in the post-2020 election “stop the steal” movement, previously served as a defense attorney for some U.S. Capitol rioters. He posts on social media under the handle “Ed the Eagle.” Martin’s memo to his new subordinates in the U.S. attorney’s office is titled “Operation Whirlwind” and said the office would prioritize investigations into threats against public officials. The memo alleged, “One of the most abhorrent examples was when Senator Charles Schumer led a rally to attack US Supreme Court justices. Martin’s memo also cited an incident months later in which a man was arrested outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, though Martin’s memo mistakenly claimed the incident happened in Washington, D.C., rather than in Maryland, and Martin’s jurisdiction is the District. Martin’s memo alleged he reached out to Schumer “to investigate his threats. He has not responded to me.” Two sources inside the Justice Department told CBS News Martin’s memo to staffers breaks from a Justice Department policy by declaratively and openly detailing a pending inquiry. Here’s a copy of ONE OF THREE letters of inquiry that U.S. Attorney Martin sent to Chuck Schumer, with no response ever received: And now, there are conflicting reports. According to one reading of the “sources familiar with the situation”… Martin simply came to his senses, realized that Chuck Schumer wasn’t actually criminally negligent, and dropped the whole matter entirely. That seems to be how most of the mainstream media is slanting the information — and quite honestly, it could be true. But it doesn’t FEEL true, at least not to me. It sounds to me, as several reports have hinted at, that Martin’s attempts to investigate Schumer’s threats was shut down prematurely by Deep State actors within the DOJ (or worse?). And it sounds like the excuses being given that attempt to paint Martin as an overzealous political attack dog with little regard for the law, only concerned about his own version of lawfare against President Trump’s enemies… is laughable. The Washington Post covered the story with exactly that slant, even portraying the lack of follow-up on Martin’s part being his own decision. Which does not read comfortably, or truthfully, when you put all the pieces together. Here’s the Washington Post’s take on it: Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has dropped plans to investigate the country’s most powerful elected Democrat over a statement he made about two conservative Supreme Court justices five years ago, concluding that a probe is unfounded, two people familiar with the matter said Tuesday. Martin concluded that a quickly walked-back statement in March 2020 from Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (New York) — in which he said two of President Donald Trump’s recently nominated Supreme Court justices, Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh, would “pay the price” for a vote against abortion rights — fell short of a prosecutable “true threat,” said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter. The barriers to building a case before a federal statute of limitations ran out Tuesday were many, experts said, and included First Amendment and other legal hurdles to an investigation including a Supreme Court precedent requiring that prosecutors prove a speaker’s “recklessness” or a “conscious disregard” of the dangers posed by a statement. The Justice Department last year also required that prosecutors in its Public Integrity Section be consulted before a grand jury investigation is opened into a member of Congress for conduct related to his or her public office, one of the people familiar with the matter said. Both people said no grand jury investigation was opened, as first reported by the New York Times. A spokeswoman for Schumer had no comment. Spokesmen for the Justice Department and Martin’s office declined to comment. Legal analysts said Schumer’s quick retraction, the passage of time, and U.S. case law surrounding threats, free speech and congressional immunity made any prosecution by Martin’s office implausible in the seven weeks he had available. Pursuing Schumer would have required testing novel arguments and consumed months, an ineffective start to Martin’s initiative, said one person close to the office. Martin decided last week at the recommendation of legal authorities inside and outside his office, according to the person. The move followed Martin’s repeated pledges since taking office to protect billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk and government workers with his U.S. DOGE Service against threats. “If people are discovered to have broken the law or even acted simply unethically, we will investigate them,” Martin assured Musk in a Feb. 7 letter he posted on social media, adding “we will chase them to the end of the Earth to hold them accountable.” That sounds like a very slanted version of the truth, if you ask me. Oddly enough, the truth might have shown through in the New York Times reporting of the situation. Check out this short excerpt from Monday, just one day before the statute of limitations ran out on anything Schumer would have been charged with relating to his threats. I see the truth shining through in this New York Times excerpt: Ed Martin, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, has been quietly pushing to present evidence against Senator Charles Schumer of New York, the Democratic leader, to a federal grand jury over comments he made about Supreme Court justices in 2020, according to people with knowledge of the situation. Justice Department officials have thus far rebuffed the unusual request by Mr. Martin, a partisan ally of President Trump with no previous prosecutorial experience, one of those people said. The five-year time limit for prosecuting Mr. Schumer under the most likely charges that might stem from any inquiry expires on Tuesday. That doesn’t sound like U.S. Attorney Martin simply gave up the hunt. It sounds more like… the DOJ “rebuffed” him, because they didn’t like where he was going with his investigation. It’s also very coincidental, if you ask me, that all this came out right as the statute of limitations ran dry on Tuesday of this week. JUST ANNOUNCED: Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is officially reviewing the DOJ’s handling of Jan. 6 cases Martin is demanding records, emails, and notes tied to felony obstruction charges. This could be the beginning of a massive shake-up. Accountability is… pic.twitter.com/k9NKwX0Rjy — Hank (@HANKonX) January 27, 2025 Back in January when that post was made… I would have agreed. And I still DO agree; accountability IS coming. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the first few weeks of President Trump’s record-setting swamp draining extravaganza… It’s that you can’t drain a swamp overnight, no matter how prepared you are. There are dark corners inside dark federal agencies with dark forces still at work, actively protecting those working against accountability. And it will take some time before enough of those dark corners are flooded by the light of day, and brought to a reckoning. Unfortunately, it looks like a few of those from the regimes that have gone before are going to slip through the cracks, and will largely escape that reckoning. But there is also the possibility that some within the DOJ are not as “on board” as many of us would have thought, to begin with. Speaking of — we’re still waiting on those files, Ms. Bondi, and the patience of the American people is wearing thin.

President Donald Trump is reportedly set to sign an executive order that would “facilitate the closure” of the Department of Education.  A draft of an executive order to begin dismantling the department has been prepared and could be signed sometime on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported. Trump has repeatedly said that he would like to shut down the department and return education fully over to the states.  “The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars—and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support—has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” a draft of the order obtained by the Journal and labeled “pre-decisional” reads.  The draft directs Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” to “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.” McMahon, who was confirmed on Monday, released a letter that same day on the department’s “final mission” promising to “restore the rightful role of state oversight in education and to end the overreach from Washington.” “As you are all aware, President Trump nominated me to take the lead on one of his most momentous campaign promises to families,” she said. “My vision is aligned with the President’s: to send education back to the states and empower all parents to choose an excellent education for their children.” Trump campaigned on getting rid of the Education Department, saying that it had been used to indoctrinate American school children.  “I say it all the time, I’m dying to get back to do this. We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education,” Trump said at a September rally in Wisconsin. “We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing.” According to legal experts, eliminating the Education Department “would require a filibuster-proof, 60-vote majority in the Senate,” the Journal noted. Under Trump, the Department of Education has already taken steps to end the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and radical gender ideology.  In February, the department slashed more than $600 million in grants with groups that trained teachers and educational agencies in Critical Race Theory and DEI. The grants funded training in Critical Race Theory, DEI, social justice activism, “anti-racism,” and instruction on white privilege and white supremacy, according to the Education Department.  Last week, rolled out an “End DEI” portal for parents around the country to submit reports of alleged racial or sex discrimination for potential investigation by the Department of Education.

There are a lot of reasons to love kids. But a big one has to be their ability to embrace their silly side. As we get older, we feel more and more pressured by society to be “more serious.” But becoming an adult doesn’t have to mean letting go of every whimsical part of ourselves. On the contrary, life is so much better when we don’t take ourselves seriously! Not sure what that looks like? Luckily, a viral post is inviting women to share their most whimsical habits. This has resulted in a number of responses that one woman says feels just “like a magical, much needed hug.” So now, I’m here to share some of her favorites (and a few of my own!) Instagram Feel as though you don’t have an examples of your own? Perhaps the silly habits in your own life have become so routine, you can’t think of them right away. But, even if that’s not the case, the examples these women share are the perfect inspiration! Need More Whimsy in Your Life? A Viral Post Has Women From All Walks of Life Sharing Their Silliest Habits Instagram “I do believe that moments of whimsy and delight in our day-to-day lives are invaluable,” Tara, the woman re-sharing these delightful habits writes, “and hearing how others create and cultivate that in their own lives is a delight unto itself.” Tara is most certainly on to something. There’s even scientific proof that silliness can be good for us! Instagram “Taking yourself too seriously” is going to look different for us all. But, in the end, the results are about the same. When we’re “too serious,” it’s easier to be overwhelmed and stressed. This leads to less joy and worse health overall. On the contrary, adding more laughter, joy, and silliness can relieve stress and improve both our mental and physical health. Instagram “When I take my contacts out every night I say to myself ‘Alright, I’ve seen enough,'” one woman shares in reply to Tara’s post, another person adding, “I hot glued a bow tie onto the Roomba and we call him Jeffrey.” Instagram “Sometimes, a couple hours before bed, I go in my room and turn down the bed, spray a bit of lavender, maybe light a candle, put my water with lemon on my bedside table,” a third woman shares. “Then when I get ready to go to bed a couple hours later I walk in and say ‘I love turndown service!’ as though it’s a pleasant surprise.” Do you have any whimsical, silly habits of your own?
