The Federal Government Did Not Create the States
One of the statues that was taken down in the 2020 purge of the Southern statues was that of the great American statesman from South Carolina, John. C. Calhoun.

Gym owner Ian Smith on the Orange Retard today
The gym owner who stood up to government at the height of fraudvirus, Ian Smith, continues to demonstrate that he has a better understanding of world dynamics than most. Here’s what he wrote on Twitter today: “It would be difficult to convince me at this point that Joe Biden wasn’t meant to succeed — but was meant to fail? Not just lose control. But lose the people.

Ethnic Cleansing Apologetics at the Wall Street Journal
The disingenuous “just asking questions” genre of op-eds is hardly novel, but few examples of it have ever been as morally reprehensible as Sadanand Dhume’s at the Wall Street Journal on February 12 (“If Indians and Pakistanis Can Relocate, Why Can’t Gazans?”). Dhume poses the question in the context of Trump’s stated intention of taking over Gaza and expelling the current population, in order to turn the area into another Riviera, Atlantic City, Merv Griffin Show set, or […]

Short Circuit: An inexhaustive weekly compendium of rulings from the federal courts of appeal
New on the Short Circuit podcast: Can an AI be an “author” under copyright law? Your summarist (who has never been an employment lawyer) didn’t know that the Equal Protection Clause might constitutionalize protections against a hostile gov’t work environment. So color me even more surprised that a drug-court judge’s allegedly “creepy” conduct toward a court counselor wouldn’t even receive qualified immunity. You learn something new every day! (The First Circuit opinion is here.) New Jersey bars out-of-state wine retailers from […]
