Senate Democrats are pushing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case that does not yet exist.On Monday‚ special counsel Jack Smith petitioned the Supreme Court to bypass the D.C. Appeals Court and decide whether former President Donald Trump is immune from federal prosecution in his election interference case. The justices responded that they would consider the request‚ but they have not yet granted review.Despite the Supreme Court not yet having granted certiorari‚ Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D) is already trying to influence the outcome of the case.Durbin is demanding that Thomas recuse himself from the potential case because his wife‚ Ginni Thomas‚ allegedly believes that Trump was the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Somehow‚ the alleged beliefs of Thomas' wife are a conflict of interest for Thomas‚ Durbin claimed."There are so many unanswered questions about the relationship of the justice and his family with the Trump administration that I think in the interests of justice‚ he should recuse himself‚" he said‚ The Hill reported.Durbin added that "there's been enough information raised about Mr. Thomas and his spouse" to warrant his recusal. Durbin‚ however‚ did not provide any evidence to show Thomas is compromised or that he would rule unfairly should the court grant review. Democrats‚ it seems‚ are simply asserting that Thomas is conflicted‚ a suggestion that Thomas cannot separate his wife's political views from his own legal mind.Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) went a step further. According to The Hill‚ he suggested that any justice with whom Thomas has discussed his wife's "involvement" in the aftermath of the 2020 election "may have an improper interest" in the case.Fortunately‚ Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is offering a dose of reality‚ condemning Democrats for demanding Thomas' pre-emptive recusal."They're not the ones to make that judgment call‚ nor am I aware of any standard by which he should be required to recuse himself in such a case. That's absurd‚" Lee said.Democrats are especially concerned with the outcome of a potential Supreme Court ruling in the case. If the court ruled in Trump's favor‚ it would probably kill Smith's election interference case and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' (D). Like Blaze News?

A police chase through Cobb County‚ Georgia‚ ended with a police car landing on top of the suspect's overturned vehicle in midtown Atlanta.The chase included the Narcotics and Intelligence Unit‚ which was chasing a suspect in a gray Jeep Gladiator. The suspect reportedly fled through county streets until eventually getting on the interstate into Atlanta‚ Fox 5 Atlanta reported.Cobb County Police supervisor Lieutenant Ramirez reportedly stated that the high-speed chase started after reports of an "aggravated assault on an officer." Police began the pursuit of the suspect before the driver fled‚ eventually hitting two cars while driving northbound in an attempt to evade authorities. The driver reportedly continued fleeing and even rear-ended a third vehicle‚ Atlanta News First said.A cell phone video showed the Jeep speeding down the interstate followed by several police cars. It wasn't long after that when a Cobb County police officer used the precision immobilization technique‚ or PIT maneuver‚ to end the chase. Troopers reportedly stated that the Jeep rolled onto its roof due to the driving technique‚ with the patrol car landing on top. Pictures and footage from the crime scene showed the police car with just one wheel on the ground and the Jeep overturned with its roof crushed underneath.Neither the driver's charges nor his identity were released‚ however it was reported that he was taken to hospital for minor injuries.The crash blocked all lanes on Howell Mill Road for at least two hours as debris was pictured scattered across the road. "This is something I have never really seen before in my eight years of reporting‚" reporter Tori Cooper stated. "A police car on top of another car ..." she added in disbelief.The Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna Narcotics &; Intelligence Unit‚ a multi-jurisdictional task force targeting narcotics and other organized crime‚ was on-scene at the incident‚ along with other police precincts. However‚ the specific nature of the crimes behind the car chase were not made available.Alive 11 also reported that Georgia State Police did not say whether any law enforcement officials were hurt during the incident.Like Blaze News?

The 28-year-old daughter of a Democratic attorney in the Connecticut Attorney General's Office was arrested last week for allegedly making a show out of vandalizing an Israeli flag on private property in Sandy Hook. Sarah Stofko‚ the transvestite daughter of Deputy Associate Attorney General Carolyn Signorelli‚ was charged with third-degree criminal mischief and third-degree intimidation based on bigotry or bias. The Newtown Police Department indicated that officers responded to a home near the intersection of Church Hill Road and Walnut Tree Hill Road on Dec. 7‚ the first night of Hanukkah‚ following a report of vandalism of an Israeli flag. Officers quickly located the flag that had been torn down‚ then acquired a description and registration for the suspect's vehicle. Police ultimately identified and contacted Stofko — a self-described web developer who refers to herself as Isaac — prompting her to surrender. — (@) Following Stofko's arrest‚ Newton Police Lt. Scott Smith said‚ "Our police department has no tolerance for any crimes that have the potential to create fear and anxiety amongst members of our community." Chief David Kullgren reiterated‚ "We unequivocally reject any criminal activities that may instill fear or distress among our residents." The town's first selectman‚ Republican A. Jeffrey Capeci‚ denounced the vandalism‚ stating‚ "By flying a flag or having a sign on one's private property we exercise free speech protected by the first amendment. Be it an American‚ Ukrainian or an Israeli flag‚ a lawn sign that is political or the school of choice for a child’s higher education – the list is long." "As Americans‚ we have the right to express our views and preferences‚ but we do not have the right to silence or intimidate others‚" added Capeci. The Republican administrator highlighted the contributions of Jewish members of Newtown and noted‚ "It is how we respond to these instances that define us as a community‚ not the actions of any one individual." The News-Times noted that Stofko's alleged destruction of property comes amidst a reported rise in anti-Semitic incidents across Connecticut. Stacey Sobel‚ the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League‚ indicated there had been over 1‚400 anti-Semitic incidents reported since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. Within hours of Stofko's alleged hate crime‚ a masked radical climbed the Hanukkah menorah in New Haven Green to hang a Palestinian flag‚ prompting condemnation from Gov. Ned Lamont (D) and other officials‚ reported WTNH-TV. Stofko‚ whose antipathy appears to be widely shared by many of her mother's fellow party members‚ is due in Danbury Superior Court on Dec. 21. Stofko is not the only transvestite child of a prominent Democrat to act upon the views prevalent among the party's progressive members in recent months. Blaze News previously reported that Jared Dowell‚ the adult son of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.)‚ was arrested and charged in January with assault and battery on a Boston police officer inflicting serious bodily injury‚ vandalizing a historic monument‚ damaging property by tagging‚ and resisting arrest. Dowell‚ who claims to be non-binary‚ defaced a historic monument in the Boston Common with anti-police slogans commonly used by leftists. He got off easy‚ thanks to a deal with prosecutors‚ requiring that he essentially affirm his guilt with an apology letter to the officer he assaulted‚ then complete 30 hours of community service.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Tuesday a massive recall impacting nearly all Tesla vehicles sold in the United States.The NHTSA’s recall report issued recalls for the Model S‚ Model X‚ Model 3‚ and Model Y produced between 2012 and 2023. The report estimated that the defect will impact 100% of the 2‚031‚220 listed Tesla models “equipped with Autosteer.”The automobile safety regulators have been investigating Tesla for two years following a number of alleged Autopilot crashes. NHTSA stated it had reviewed 956 crashes that claimed to have Tesla’s Autopilot feature engaged at the time of the accidents.According to the NHTSA’s recall notice‚ Tesla’s Autosteer feature “may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse.” The impacted vehicles will receive an “over-the-air software remedy” at no cost to consumers. “The remedy will incorporate additional controls and alerts to those already existing on affected vehicles to further encourage the driver to adhere to their continuous driving responsibility whenever Autosteer is engaged‚ which includes keeping their hands on the steering wheel and paying attention to the roadway‚” the NHTSA stated. The software update may also integrate added safety features‚ such as “increasing the prominence of visual alerts on the user interface‚ simplifying engagement and disengagement of Autosteer‚ additional checks up engaging Autosteer and while using the feature outside controlled access highways and when approaching traffic controls.”According to NHTSA‚ drivers who repeatedly fail to adhere to the vehicles’ required safeguards‚ such as keeping their hands on the steering wheel‚ may be suspended from using the Autosteer feature.Tesla did not respond to a request for comment from the Wall Street Journal.In a post on X‚ Tesla stated that collisions are less common when drivers engage Autopilot.“In the 4th quarter of 2022‚ we recorded one crash for every 4.85 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology. For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology‚ we recorded one crash for every 1.40 million miles driven. By comparison‚ the most recent data available from NHTSA and FHWA (from 2021) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 652‚000 miles‚” the automobile company stated.Tesla reiterated that even when engaging its Autopilot feature‚ drivers are still responsible for maintaining control of the vehicle at all times. “The driver is notified of this responsibility‚ consents‚ agrees to monitor the driving assistance‚ and can disengage anytime‚” it noted.

I’ve got something super important to talk about. So‚ like‚ if transwomen aren’t women‚ why are they winning all the women’s sports? I know‚ I know‚ it’s a real brain-boggler‚ but bear with me‚ okay? Now‚ I may not understand fractions or why broccoli is a thing‚ but I’m pretty sure I’ve cracked the code on this whole sports situation. You see‚ transwomen are like superheroes – they have these amazing powers that make them better at women’s sports than‚ you know‚ actual women. First of all‚ let’s talk about how they magically transform into women. I mean‚ that’s like a super cool power‚ right? It’s like‚ “Bam! I was a dude with big hair balls‚ and now I’m a dudette with big hairy balls‚ and guess what? I’m gonna win all the sports!” It’s like Cinderella‚ but with a way better wardrobe. And don’t get me started on their secret weapon – testosterone! It’s like their very own power-up juice. They get a dose of that‚ and suddenly‚ they’re unstoppable. Regular girls‚ like me and my stuffed animals‚ we don’t have that. We’re just stuck with whatever juice boxes mom gives us. Now‚ some people say‚ “Hey‚ it’s not fair! They used to be dudes!” But I’m like‚ “Dudes can wear dresses too‚ you know.” It’s all about being inclusive and letting everyone join the princess tea party. Besides‚ if you can run faster or jump higher‚ why not show off a bit? It’s just like having a really awesome superhero in the race. Oh‚ and then there’s the whole bathroom thing. Some folks get all worked up about that too. But I say‚ if you can rock a tutu and throw a ball at the same time‚ you deserve to use whatever bathroom you want. Bathrooms are for everyone‚ just like cookies. So‚ in conclusion‚ transwomen are the real MVPs of women’s sports. They’ve got the coolest powers‚ the best wardrobe changes‚ and they make everything way more interesting. And if you still don’t get it‚ well‚ maybe you need to brush up on your superhero facts. Because I’m in Congress‚ so I know everything. The post AOC: If transwomen aren’t women‚ why are they winning all the women’s sports? appeared first on Genesius Times.

In a stunning display of intellectual prowess‚ Ivy League presidents Liz Magill‚ Sally Kornbluth‚ and Claudine Gay have come forward to enlighten lawmakers on a pressing matter: the nuanced distinction between regular genocide and the far more sophisticated concept of *democratic genocide. The academic trio‚ representing the University of Pennsylvania‚ Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)‚ and Harvard‚ respectively‚ held a joint press conference to clarify what they believe to be a common misunderstanding among the plebeians in the political arena. Magill‚ with an air of academic superiority‚ declared‚ “It has come to our attention that some individuals are throwing around the term ‘genocide’ without truly grasping its intellectual depth. Allow us‚ the educated elite‚ to introduce you to the concept of *democratic genocide – a refined‚ Ivy League-approved version.” Kornbluth‚ nodding sagely‚ chimed in‚ “Regular genocide is so last century. *Democratic genocide is the cutting-edge term for the discerning intellectual. It involves the delicate art of dismantling inconvenient demographics through democratic means. It’s like genocide‚ but with a voting booth twist!” Harvard’s Claudine Gay‚ raising an eyebrow as if explaining rocket science to toddlers‚ elucidated‚ “We’re talking about a sophisticated process where the victims themselves unknowingly contribute to their own demise. It’s the epitome of democratic elegance‚ truly.” The presidents went on to provide an exhaustive PowerPoint presentation‚ complete with intricate graphs and pie charts‚ to illustrate the subtleties of *democratic genocide. They argued that this refined form of mass elimination is not only socially acceptable but also quite fashionable among the intellectual elite. Lawmakers‚ caught off guard by the unexpected lesson in lexical sophistication‚ were left to ponder the implications of *democratic genocide on their next political maneuverings. Critics‚ however‚ were quick to point out that this academic maneuver might be a thinly veiled attempt to mask serious issues with highfalutin language. One commentator noted‚ “It’s like putting a bow tie on a wrecking ball and calling it art. But hey‚ who are we to question the linguistic acrobatics of the Ivy League?” As the press conference concluded‚ the Ivy League presidents left the room‚ heads held high‚ leaving behind a bewildered audience grappling with the weighty responsibility of adopting *democratic genocide into their everyday political vocabulary. After all‚ nothing says enlightenment quite like an Ivy League-approved terminology update. The post Ivy League Presidents correct lawmakers: ‘It’s not genocide‚ it’s *democratic genocide’ appeared first on Genesius Times.

It has been scientifically proven that a massive nuclear holocaust under the best president ever‚ President Biden‚ would be better than world peace under the Orange Man. Just think about it. Even though millions of people would die and everyone else would be radioactive‚ we won’t have to suffer through mean tweets all the time. You might argue that at least we wouldn’t be dead. But that’s just Putin talking. We should all be dead if it means Trump is in power. People who can justify another Trump presidency because Biden is plunging us into World War III are idiots. They clearly don’t have the academic credentials that I have. I have three (3) doctorates. Read that again. I am really smart and I have the debt to prove it. (By the way‚ if you can buy me a coffee‚ I would really appreciate it because I can’t find a job and Genesius TImes only pays me $500 an article. I cannot buy all the ice cream I eat with that kind of money). So‚ back to my original point: WWIII with Biden >; Peace with Trump. What people don’t really understand is that war under Biden is actually peace and peace under Trump is actually war. As the great black man Abraham Lincoln once said‚ “War is Peace.” And I for one would rather be at peace than war because Lincoln freed the slaves. This is science you bigots.

IOWA—Twenty-eight-year-old Jeremy Daniels was one of several unemployed college graduates who was recognized and awarded a presidential medal of participation by the Biden Administration last week for possessing all of the attributes and personal qualities that represent the potential of the latest string of recent degree earners who feel that the tremendous sacrifices they made in the classroom should entitle them to everything.   Although it was a huge inconvenience for him to turn the television set off and walk all the way to the front door of his parents’ house last Thursday in order to receive a heartfelt congratulations for basically existing and for somehow being bold enough to obtain an education that was paid for by someone else‚ Daniels happily accepted his medal and was somehow able to put his vaping device and his sugar-filled energy drink aside long enough to endure talking to reporters who were purely astounded by his very presence. During a 5-minute interview that exhausted his attention span‚ Jeremy stated that the key to his post-graduate success has involved a rather unique combination of avoiding stressful situations‚ such as working a part-time job or even engaging in activities that would benefit his local community‚ while being brave enough to voice his opinion in online forums‚ such as Twitter‚ as well as “cancel” people and leave comments on random blogs he simply doesn’t like. Daniels‚ who currently has a wide following of liberal supporters and activists around the country who are ready to fight at any given moment to support his lifestyle and his need to feel both “comfortable with” and “completely unoffended by” his surroundings‚ stated that his next challenge in life will involve playing the latest PlayStation 5 video games while simultaneously looking at his Smartphone in order to read profoundly deep literary text messages from his girlfriend such as “Hey‚ how R U?” and “What’s up?” The post Unemployed Masters Graduate awarded Presidential Medal of Participation by Biden appeared first on Genesius Times.

(CNN) Japan launched a fiery but mostly peaceful attack on the United States at the Hawaiian naval base Pearl Harbor 80 years ago today. The United States was a neutral country at the time; the attack led to its formal entry into World War II the next day. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI. Japan intended the mostly peaceful attack as a preventive action to prevent the racist United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom‚ the Netherlands‚ and those of the United States. Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines‚ Guam‚ and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya‚ Singapore‚ and Hong Kong. Several Americans suffered symptoms such as rash and mild death as a result of the attack. Several US Congresspeople such as Jerry Nadler said that the Japanese was just an idea and that they weren’t really a threat. Originally published December 7‚ 2021.

WASHINGTON‚ DC—In a peculiar legal maneuver that has raised eyebrows across the nation‚ the Department of Justice (DOJ) has chosen to indict Hunter Biden not for his alleged involvement in a multi-million-dollar money-laundering operation but for a shocking omission – the failure to generously donate a portion of his ill-gotten gains to the government coffers. The indictment alleges that despite his extravagant lifestyle fueled by the alleged proceeds of a complex money-laundering scheme‚ Biden neglected his civic duty to contribute handsomely to the nation’s finances. Critics argue that this unexpected charge is less about the alleged criminal activities and more about the perceived lack of philanthropic flair in Biden’s financial dealings. “Everyone knows that if you’re going to break the law by making a billion dollars in money laundering and influence-peddling‚ you need to pay your fair share to Uncle Sam‚” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said. Sources close to the situation reveal that the DOJ’s decision to focus on Biden’s alleged failure to make sizable contributions stems from a desire to emphasize the importance of charitable acts‚ even in the face of dubious financial practices. Legal experts are divided on the significance of this peculiar charge. Professor Fiscal Ethics from Altruism Law School commented‚ “It’s an unconventional approach‚ to say the least. We’re accustomed to cases involving financial improprieties‚ not cases where the accused is essentially charged for not being a more generous alleged white-collar criminal.” Biden’s legal team‚ taken aback by the unexpected indictment‚ issued a statement expressing a mix of bewilderment and amusement. “We’re navigating uncharted waters here. It seems that the DOJ is suggesting a sort of Robin Hood tax evasion‚ where the accused is expected to share the spoils with the very entity they’re accused of defrauding.” As the nation grapples with the implications of this unprecedented legal strategy‚ one can’t help but wonder if the DOJ’s intention is to make a larger statement about the role of alleged financial wrongdoers in contributing to the greater good. The courtroom drama promises to be an intriguing affair‚ where the accused might find themselves defending not just their financial activities but their charitable instincts as well.
