Thomas vs Jackson.

Posted on June 30, 2023 by On the North River

Justice Thomas’s rebuttal to Justice Jackson’s minority option.  From PJ Media.

Joe Biden managed to do something that most thought was impossible: he nominated a woman to the Supreme Court who is dumber than Sonia Sotomayor. Props, Big Guy, that was quite the task.

Justice Brown Jackson’s dissenting opinion was absolutely torn apart by one of the greatest Americans in history: Justice Clarence Thomas. Matt wrote the story for us:

“Accordingly, JUSTICE JACKSON’s race-infused world view falls flat at each step. Individuals are the sum of their unique experiences, challenges, and accomplishments,” Thomas wrote. “What matters is not the barriers they face, but how they choose to confront them. And their race is not to blame for everything—good or bad—that happens in their lives. A contrary, myopic world view based on individuals’ skin color to the total exclusion of their personal choices is nothing short of racial determinism.”

Oh, but he wasn’t done yet.

“JUSTICE JACKSON then builds from her faulty premise to call for action, arguing that courts should defer to ‘experts’ and allow institutions to discriminate on the basis of race,” Thomas continued. “Make no mistake: Her dissent is not a vanguard of the innocent and helpless. It is instead a call to empower privileged elites, who will ‘tell us [what] is required to level the playing field’ among castes and classifications that they alone can divine. […] Then, after siloing us all into racial castes and pitting those castes against each other, the dissent somehow believes that we will be able—at some undefined point—to “march forward together” into some utopian vision.”

Pity Justice Clarence Thomas isn’t the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court instead of that poof Roberts.

RFK Jr: Affirmative Action Undoes the ‘Effects of Racist Policies’.

“Regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action in higher ed — I know many Americans feel that purely race-based decisions are unfair,” Kennedy tweeted. “However, this feeling misses important context. The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now self-perpetuating.”

“Affirmative action understands this and uses race-based policies to undo the effects of racist policies,” he added.

Because this nimrod is partially right on one issue a lot of people have been touting him as a viable and preferable candidate for President.

NO.

Green New Dealers now coming after NYC pizza’s coal-fired ovens: Enough already!

Look, we get that Green New Dealers hate the finer things in life: gas stoves, steak and air conditioners that actually, you know, cool down your house.

So it’s no shock they’d come for pizza eventually. (Bagels are surely next.)

But this is one issue where New Yorkers left, right and center, of every age, race, creed and gender, should rise as one and shout Va al diavolo.

New York Leftists finally get their favorite Ox gored.

Thrown to the Wolves

A physician reveals the nightmare of transgender ideology in a major children’s hospital.

I have been engaged in an ongoing dialogue with a physician who works in a major children’s hospital in a blue city. This physician has witnessed firsthand how transgender ideology has captured the medical profession and jeopardized the first commandment of the healing sciences: do no harm.

Physician: I don’t know. I pray that there is a change. One of the things I’ve been thinking about is what puberty blockers do to children. This medication is called a “gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist” and it comes in the form of monthly injections or an implant. And because it simulates the activity of this hormone, it shuts down the activity of the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus is this almond-sized structure in your brain, it’s one of the most primal structures we have, and it controls all the other hormonal structures in your body—your sexual development, your emotions, your fight-or-flight response, everything. But it shouldn’t be described in such cold physiological terms because your hypothalamus is not just a hormone factory. It’s this system that allows you to stand in awe of the beauty of a sunset, or to hear the sounds of orchestral music and to stop whatever you’re doing and want to listen.

And I always think that if someone were to ask me, Where is it that you would look for the divine spark in each individual? I would say that it would be somewhere “beneath the inner chamber,” which is the Greek derivation of the term hypothalamus. To shut down that system is to shut down what makes us human.

Read the whole piece…

And then there’s this…

Hunter Biden plea deal called ‘slap on wrist’ after similar tax, gun cases ended with prison terms

WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden’s likely probation-only plea deal copping to two misdemeanor tax crimes and one gun-purchase crime is being called a “slap on the wrist” compared to substantial prison sentences imposed in similar cases.

It’s unclear why the first son was not charged with working as an unregistered foreign agent after the evidence on his abandoned laptop showed he helped foreign associates meet US officials, including his then-vice president father and various other Obama-Biden administration figures.

  • In a similar gun-charge case, rapper Kodak Black, then 22 years old, was sentenced in 2019 to 46 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to providing an incorrect Social Security number on a federal gun purchase form in order to buy three guns from a Miami-area shop.
  • “Jersey Shore” star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino was sentenced in 2018 to eight months in federal prison for failing to pay $2.3 million in taxes over five years. His older brother, Marc Sorrentino, was sentenced to 24 months for keeping $8.9 million for himself. Both Sorrentinos admitted to single counts in their indictment (tax evasion and preparing a false return, respectively).
  • In 2008, actor Wesley Snipes was convicted by a jury of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns worth a total of $15 million. He was sentenced to three years in prison, despite being acquitted of felony charges of conspiracy to defraud the government and filing a false claim.
  • Former President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen, who later became a critic of the 45th president, was sentenced in 2018 to three years in federal prison in a case that dealt primarily with tax fraud.
  • Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg in January was sentenced to five months in prison in New York on charges for not paying about $2 million in taxes on non-salary compensation such as work-provided cars and tuition for relatives.

    The 75-year-old was released from Rikers Island in April after serving about four months.

  • Trump’s 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort, then 69, was sentenced in 2018 to 60 months in prison specifically for violating FARA by repping a Ukrainian political party without first registering with the Justice Department.

When I first read the joke about Elon Musk was offering to buy the Department of  Justice from the Clintons I laughed,  but it’s not funny anymore.  John

No equal justice under the law.

Posted on June 20, 2023 by On the North River

The Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware has reached a plea agreement with Hunter Biden, in which he is expected to plead guilty to two federal misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes. Biden also faces a separate felony gun possession charge that will likely be dismissed if he meets certain conditions, according to court documents filed on Tuesday.

Two sources familiar with the agreement told NBC News that it includes a provision in which the U.S. attorney has agreed to recommend probation for Biden for his tax violations. Legal experts also said that the tax and gun charges will most likely not result in any jail time for President Joe Biden’s son.

Favored son… of… a.. bitch.
