If Democrats didn’t have double standards‚ they wouldn’t have any standards at all&;#33; So hypocrisy is nothing new for the Far Left‚ but it seems it is FINALLY being called out. And by no less an authority than at least one Supreme Court Justice. Finally&;#33; But this is not just to win some intellectual debate‚ the fate of 350+ pro-Trump political prisoners hangs in the balance. Here’s the latest…. During oral arguments in Fischer v. US‚ Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch called out the Left’s insane double standards concerning other fairly recent events and tipped his hand about where the Supreme Court may rule in the latest Fischer v. US case. Listen: Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch nukes Joe Biden’s DOJ over January 6th sentences: Gorsuch lists multiple cases of folks who “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” without receiving a 20 year sentence. 1. Sit-ins at a trial (Kavanaugh protests)2.

Ever since the events of J6‚ many have called out the Left’s hypocrisy over other instances that involve their supporters. Two tiered ‘justice’ system. pic.twitter.com/JQMOLgeFu4 — Marc (@gopher_marc) April 16‚ 2024 Biden’s DOJ didn’t just over-prosecute‚ they wrongfully prosecuted. It’s the two-tiered system of justice we’ve been seeing to the extreme over the last 3 years. Leftists might get arrested but they rarely get charged. Whereas peaceful Trump supporters get decades in jail. — Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) April 16‚ 2024 Funny how this 2 tiered justice works pic.twitter.com/qBcGmrAgV7 — Xman (@PKITTY1776) April 16‚ 2024 There were also a few incidents that Justice Gorsuch forgot to mention. “Antifa is just an idea” — Sean Tannenbaum (@airturbulencia) April 16‚ 2024 It’s not looking good for the DOJ so far in a case that could reduce criminal charges against over 350 J6 protesters. CNN has more about this most recent Supreme Court case: Joseph Fischer‚ a former Pennsylvania police officer who brought the case to the Supreme Court‚ told the justices that by the time he arrived at the Capitol on January 6‚ Congress had already recessed. His lawyers said Fischer spent less than four minutes inside the building and that he advanced fewer than 25 feet. Prosecutors paint a different picture. They say Fischer warned his police chief by text that the day might get violent. He texted that protestors should drag Democrats “into the street and have a mob trial.” Fischer captured a video on his own cell phone in which he can be heard yelling “charge&;#33;” before he ran into the Capitol‚ prosecutors say. A grand jury returned a seven-count indictment against Fischer weeks after the attack that included charges of civil disorder; assaulting‚ resisting‚ or impeding officers as well as the obstruction charge. The case before the Supreme Court involves only that last charge. My friends over at The Gateway Pundit had the best analysis I have seen so far: The United States Supreme Court is holding arguments in Fischer v. US‚ a case that could reduce criminal charges filed against more than 350 Trump supporters who participated in the US Capitol protest on January 6‚ 2021. The Department of Injustice (DOJ) is using a statute called “obstructed a Congressional proceeding” to prosecute hundreds of these protesters simply for exercising their First Amendment rights. This statute is a serious felony with the potential of 20 years behind bars. CNN notes that this case also has implications for President Donald Trump‚ who was charged by corrupt special counsel Jack Smith for exercising his First Amendment rights on that fateful day. Justice Neil Gorsuch stole the show this morning by blowing up the foundation of the DOJ’s case against the nonviolent J6 protesters. While the Trump supporters simply exercised their freedom of speech‚ there were leftist individuals who committed actual felonies that the Biden regime gave a complete pass to. Gorsuch threw out several meaningful real-life incidents involving these left-wing figures‚ including the unlawful sit-ins during a trial (which occurred during the Brett Kavanaugh hearing in 2018)‚ Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) pulling a fire alarm to prevent a critical vote to keep the government open‚ hecklers during the State of the Union‚ and so-called “mostly peaceful” protests (BLM riots). Gorsuch asked Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar whether those actions would qualify for 20 years in prison. Prelogar tried to spin her out of the questioning. She claimed that the DOJ would need to prove “corrupt intent” and whether these incidents qualified as a “meaningful” disruption of the proceedings. Of course‚ all of these incidents recounted by Gorsuch met those qualifications‚ meaning the leftists‚ including Bowman‚ should have received years in prison. But Prelogar could not really answer Gorsuch’s queries unless she wanted to admit defeat.

“The game is on‚ Watson&;#33;” For tonight’s mystery‚ we have The Case of The Swapped Sibling‚ involving French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife‚ Brigitte. And unlike other cases‚ you will get to participate. Yes‚ you the reader will get to interact. You up for it&;#63; Right. Let’s dive in then‚ shall we&;#63; When looking at the facts though‚ keep in mind the words of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: “When you have eliminated the impossible‚ whatever remains‚ however improbable‚ must be the truth.” Additionally‚ in the case of ‘this or that’ the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. Were the Twin Towers taken down by aeroplanes or explosive devices on 9/11&;#63; The answer is in the middle‚ of course. The concealed third option is where the truth tends to hide. What turned them to dust is the real question&;#63; But that’s a case for another time. What we have on our hands is a French conspiracy that has France’s First Lady being accused of being the same person as her brother. She is now suing those that brought the subject to light‚ choosing to fight them in court. Very curious course of action. Why not simply produce some documents‚ such as a photos from her childhood or even a meeting with her brother&;#63; But the two are never seen together. Like Superman and Clark Kent. Anyone heard if Big Mike and Barry are suing anyone&;#63;Emmanuel Macron Breaks Silence on Claims Wife Is Trans After Paper Publishes Details of Defamation Ruling Against Women Who Spread Theory https://t.co/K1VYFTMsHK — Smokehouse Casey (@smokehousecasey) March 14‚ 2024 New York Post reports: France’s elegant first lady‚ Brigitte Macron‚ is about to take the extraordinary step of going to trial in a Paris court to fight a conspiracy theory — amplified last month by American conservative commentator Candace Owens — that she was born a man. Brigitte‚ 70‚ has long been the subject of fascination because of her marriage to the much younger Emmanuel Macron‚ 46. The two met in northern France when he was a 15-year-old student and she was his drama teacher‚ and wed in 2007. But now wild claims‚ made by two female French Internet influencers‚ that she was actually born Jean-Michel Trogneux and became a trans woman in the 1980s have electrified France. The French scornfully call it part of the burgeoning “complosph&;egrave;re‚” or world of conspiracy theories. Mme. Macron’s libel trial is set for June‚ where she will face off against the right-wing accuser and freelance journalist Natacha Rey‚ who hides behind avatars to push rumors that powerful members of the French establishment are hiding Brigitte’s true identity. Emmanuel Macron has angrily hit back at the rumors‚ calling them “false and fabricated.” He was unusually candid and emotional about the ongoing speculation about his wife‚ whom he married in 2007. “The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios‚” Macron said at an International Women’s Day event in Paris in February after he guaranteed the right to abortion in France’s Constitution. “People eventually believe them and disturb you‚ even in your intimacy.” The bizarre saga began back in December 2021 when Rey‚ 49‚ a self-described freelance journalist and Amandine Roy‚ 53‚ who calls herself a clairvoyant‚ made a now-deleted YouTube video as part of Roy’s online show “Mediumsation‚” in which they claimed that Brigitte was born as a baby boy called Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953. Trogneux is Brigitte’s maiden name‚ and Jean-Michel is her older brother. The conspiracy theory first surfaced in an article written by Rey in the far-right French magazine “Faits et Documents” after Macron was first elected president of France in 2017. The women also alleged that Brigitte Macron’s first husband‚ Andr&;eacute;-Louis Auzi&;egrave;re‚ had never actually existed. The two‚ who were married from 1974 to 2006‚ shared three children: daughters Tiphaine‚ 40‚ and Laurence‚ 47‚ and son S&;eacute;bastien‚ 49. Auzi&;egrave;re passed away in 2019 at age 68.   Get out your magnifying glass and let’s compare these faces. The top row of teeth look identical. Front two are the same. And the two on either side of them have the same exact slant. Do brothers and sisters usually have the same exact incisors&;#63; The nose is identical. The wrinkle on the left side of the nose‚ that sort of has an arrow look to it‚ are both present. And then there’s the horizontal wrinkle under the nose. They both have that&;#63; I deduce these are in fact the same person. Seems like an open and shut case‚ doesn’t it&;#63; But us detective types need to look at the rest of the clues. Is she a female&;#63; Is she a ‘trans’ female&;#63; The truth may lie in the middle‚ in the third option. At this stage of the Great Awakening‚ and with all the layers of lies these people hide under‚ I wouldn’t be surprised if that photo of ‘her brother’ was simply her on testosterone therapy. That photo of ‘her brother’ looks a bit feminine to me. Was it a case of Brigitte raised to be a ‘trans’ male and changed her mind&;#63; Many do. Let’s look at some of the facts: She has the overall small frail frame that is generally found more often among woman. And let’s look at her ring finger. But first‚ here’s the part where you get to participate. It’s fairly simple. All I need you to do is to hold out your hand‚ straighten your fingers and put them together. Right. Now is your ring finger the same length or shorter than your index (pointer) finger&;#63; If so‚ chances are you’re female. Or is your ring finger is longer than your index finger. If so‚ chances are you’re male. Well done. You’re well on your way to being a sleuth extraordinaire. Now look at Macron’s wife’s rather small hand. The ring finger is clearly shorter than the index finger. Though‚ this isn’t always the tell-tale clue‚ but it is a good starting point. Add up the anatomy details we can gather so far and it points to the fact that this person exhibits many female traits. Am I saying she has a brother&;#63; No. Let’s not forget this lady has 0 photos of herself from the first 30 years of her life. Clearly deception is at play. This episode is blowing up so I just want to say—After looking into this‚ I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man. Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as… — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 12‚ 2024 Fellow sleuth Candance Owens posted a link to a video that went over this transinvestigation. Stop everything and watch this&;#33; Not a joke or an exaggeration to say that barring political assassinations‚ this is likely the biggest scandal that has ever happened in politics in human history. #JeanMichelTrogneuxhttps://t.co/8RasOT78oy — Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 11‚ 2024 Curious that the video is now gone. But I found it nonetheless: I end my investigation concluding that there is no sibling. And two possiblities remain: Brigitte was born female and lived as a transmale (we see this a lot in Hollywood) and later changed her mind or Brigitte was born male and is currently is a trans female. Confusion is where the enemy excels. Either option‚ it doesn’t look good for President Macron.

Mr Macron‚ 47‚ expressed his anger and frustration about continual speculation about Brigitte Macron‚ 70‚ whom he married in 2007. ‘The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios‚’ said Mr Macron. ‘People eventually believe them and disturb you‚ even in your intimacy.’ The president was speaking on International Women’s Day on Friday‚ after inscribing the guaranteed right to abortion into France’s constitution. He said the transgender claims about Ms Macron were typical of misogynisitic online attacks that women have to put up with every day. Two women who claimed the premi&;egrave;re dame was born a man were punished with ‘symbolic fines’ reduced on appeal last June. In turn‚ both claimed they were subjected to ‘intimidation by the authorities’ as ‘ultra protected’ members of the Paris establishment tried to cover up a ‘state secret’. Details of the bizarre case were revived after her own daughter talked publicly about the accusations for the first time. Tiphaine Auzi&;egrave;re‚ 40‚ told Paris Match magazine: ‘I have concerns about the level of society when I hear what is circulating on social networks about my mother being a man.’ Ms Auzi&;egrave;re also discussed how wounded she remained after discovering as a 10-year-old child that her teacher mother was seeing the teenage Emmanuel Macron. The future politician was just 15 when he began a relationship with the then married mother-of-three Brigitte Auzi&;egrave;re‚ who was 40 at the time‚ and teaching drama at La Providence high school in Amiens‚ northern France. Those spreading the transgender rumours were Amandine Roy‚ a 52-year-old clairvoyant‚ and Natacha Rey‚ 48‚ who styled herself as a freelance journalist. Both had appeared on a four-hour YouTube video in December 2021 in which they claimed that Brigitte was in fact born as a baby boy called Jean-Michel Trogneux in 1953. This is the name of Brigitte’s brother‚ and Ms Macron was called Brigitte Trogneux before her first marriage. The defendants also claimed that Brigitte’s first husband‚ Andr&;eacute;-Louis Auzi&;egrave;re‚ had never actually existed before his reported death in 2020‚ aged 68. A judge sitting at Lisieux‚ in Normandy‚ originally fined the two women the equivalent of £1700 each‚ after finding them both guilty of libel.

And we’ve seen the damage here in America‚” Biden said of China‚ adding that Pennsylvania and Ohio lost 14‚000 steel jobs between 2000 and 2010 when China first began flooding the markets. “Let me ask you: Are we going to let that happen again&;#63;” “No&;#33;” steelworkers at the union’s headquarters shouted in response. With the move‚ Biden is borrowing from the trade playbook of former President Donald Trump‚ the Republican presumptive nominee‚ who routinely raised tariffs on Chinese goods during his four years in office. Lael Brainard‚ the White House director of the National Economic Council‚ said China − which produces more than half the world’s steel − is making more steel than the world can absorb‚ “flooding global markets at artificially low prices” and “undercutting American steel that is clean.” WATCH:

NBC News reports: The trial has begun. Democrats voted to rule the first impeachment article‚ accusing Mayorkas of “willfully and systemically” refusing to comply with federal immigration laws‚ unconstitutional. They are now considering the second‚ which charges him with making false statements to Congress‚ including that the border is “secure.” There are not sufficient votes to convict Mayorkas. Sixty-seven votes would be needed to remove him from office‚ and Democrats hold 51 seats in the Senate. Some Republicans have also said he has not committed impeachable offenses. But Senate Republicans are working to make the process as lengthy and painful for Democrats as possible‚ raising several motions to keep the trial going.

The Cabinet secretary previously called both allegations “baseless.” Leading up to the trial‚ Republicans were demanding a thorough consideration of the articles of impeachment take place while Democrats said they would seek to dismiss them quickly. Such back-and-forth was apparent as proceedings kicked off in the Senate on Wednesday afternoon. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer first asked for unanimous consent on a plan that would have allowed for debate time and for Republicans to raise various points of order before Democrats moved toward a motion to dismiss the charges. Republicans quickly objected. “Never before in the history of our republic has the Senate dismissed or tabled articles of impeachment when the impeached individual was alive and had not resigned‚” Sen. Eric Schmitt‚ R-Mo.‚ said as he rose to reject what Schumer proposed. “I will not assist Senator Schumer in setting our Constitution ablaze and bulldozing 200 years of precedent‚” Schmitt added. Schumer responded that the first of the articles of impeachment “does not allege conduct that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor” and “therefore is unconstitutional.” Schumer’s point of order will force the Senate to vote on the constitutionality of the first article of impeachment.
