Deservedly, yet surprisingly, the FBI served a warrant on Sen. Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, related to claims of insider trading based on Congressional knowledge.

Anyone who is on that committee and made suspicious trades should be investigated.

I saw a lot of claims about insider trading. Most of the senators accused had good excuses, like Pelosi having her investments in a blind trust with no access to doing trading herself. Will be cool to see how some of the others shake out.

I was very surprised to read that the United States Supreme Court had unanimously, yes unanimously upheld a federal law that forbids anyone from encouraging illegal aliens to remain in the United States.

In fact, the Supreme Court not only vacated the Ninth Circuit appeals court’s decision but criticized the judges of that court for “drastically” straying from judicial norms.

Who wrote the Supreme Courts' opinion? None other than Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, probably the courts most liberal justice on the court. She wrote:

“[T]he appeals panel departed so drastically from the principle of party presentation as to constitute an abuse of discretion...a court is not hidebound by the precise arguments of counsel, but the Ninth Circuit’s radical transformation of this case goes well beyond the pale.”

The case stemmed from an immigration consultant in California who would encourage her illegal alien clients to apply for some sort of certification. This certification would allow them to remain legally in the country although they would not qualify for the certification. She would charge her clients a fee for her service, a service in which she made millions off of her scheme.

My first thought was what this will mean for the many sanctuary cities, townships, counties, and states. Because if it is illegal to encourage illegal aliens to remain in our country that would mean all of those sanctuary, fill in the blank, are committing illegal acts according to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Let the charging of crimes, arrests, and trying in court begin.

The question is will the liberal Supreme Court Justices find wiggle room for all the elected lawbreakers to squeeze through or pick and choose who can break the law and who cannot?

What kind of a banana republic does the Democrat Senate minority leader think we live in? In banana republics, high government officials like Democrat Chuck Schumer pressure other officials like Supreme Court Justices to carry out vendettas against political enemies. This is precisely what the Democrat Chuck Schumer is doing and that is despicable. Obviously, there now needs to be endless investigations eventually leading to Schumer being removed from office.

Yesterday on the steps of the Supreme Court Democrat Senate minority leader threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer said the following:

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price...You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions".

That certainly sounds like a threat to me, the question is what should be done about it. Schumer's threat was directed at Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and their vote on a case (
June Medical Services v. Russo) that addresses the credentials required for doctors who perform abortions. A bill titled The Unsafe Abortion Protection Act was introduced by Louisanna Democratic state senator Katrina Jackson, yes a Democrat not Republican.

I believe at the very least the Senate should pass a resolution condemning Schumer’s aggressive threats to the Supreme Court Justices, then censure Democrat Schumer and possibly even remove him from office. Realizing how bad his mob bosses remarks where his spokesman could not get a statement out fast enough to attempt to cover up the godfather Schumer's aggressive and violent threats, remember he did say “you will pay the price” and said those comments were a:

reference to the political price” Republicans will pay for putting Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the court, as well as a warning that the justices will inspire a “major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision.

Sure it was that is why Schumer used the word “you” seven times. Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts issued a highly unusual and forceful rebuke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer yesterday. In a written statement he said:

This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that 'You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions”. Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.

Chuck Schumer and this Democratic Party are proving every day how out of control they truly are as well as adding to the encyclopedia of proof of their aggressive and violent nature.

Well, I was gonna post that I've noticed all this media coverage of these reports of minuscule amounts of money made by insider trading... but still no media coverage of the biggest offender of all... Senator Feinstein, who made off with a cool 6 million on the exact same thing.
Kinda makes ya wonder which way the media leans. LMAO

Oh yeah, almost forgot... it was Feinstein that enabled the Blasey-Ford fiasco as well, and was "probably" the author of the whole thing. :/
