VICTOR DAVIS HANSON — None of the five civil and criminal cases currently lodged against former President Donald Trump have ever had merit. They were all predicated on using the law to injure his re-election candidacy—given a widespread derangement syndrome among the left and a fear they cannot entrust a Trump/Biden election to the people. These criminal and civil trials are merely the continuation of extra-legal efforts of the last eight years to destroy a presidential candidate in lieu of opposing him in transparent elections....

Great idea if you're a mortician who believes in climate hysteria
PJ MEDIA — Professor Bill McGuire is a well-known vulcanologist and climate scientist who doesn't care much for humanity. He tweeted out a scathingly brilliant idea if you're in the mortuary business or work as a grave digger. "If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic #climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate." — Bill McGuire (@ProfBillMcGuire), May 11, 2024...

Jack Ryan: ‘If you hate cartels, I’m your guy’
WORLDNETDAILY — What would possess a man who amassed a small fortune as a pre- and post-IPO partner at the world’s most prestigious investment bank to forgo a typical transition to a life of corporate board sinecures and the country club, and instead wage lonely war against a behemoth industry boasting an army of lobbyists? To hear Jack Ryan tell it, he is taking on the U.S. real estate industry today for the same reason he challenged the Illinois education establishment and teachers unions two decades ago: a strong sense of justice, ambition, and purpose – one he believes is for the common good....

REV. MARK H. CREECH — Philosopher, journalist, novelist, and diplomat Michael Novak said nearly 50 years ago: “We live in curious times. Choosing to have a family used to be routine. But so many, so varied, and so aggressive are anti-family sentiments in our society today that choosing to have a family has become an act of courage. To love family life…is to be marked today as a heretic.” Novak’s observation is no longer a curious matter, but a deeply entrenched reality.... (more)

By Judge Aileen Cannon
PJ MEDIA — On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed Trump's classified documents trial. "The Court also determines that finalization of a trial date at this juncture—before resolution of the myriad and interconnected pre-trial and CIPA issues remaining and forthcoming—would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury," Judge Cannon wrote....

DENNIS PRAGER — I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt – let alone kill – that group as do Jews. When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d'etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there blacks who defended slavery? Were there Armenians who defended the Turkish mass murder of fellow Armenians during World War I?... (more)
