Insurrectionist Dugan's Desperate Move

Judge Dugan's move to dismiss is a desperate tactic, but it may succeed.

A day after a grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan and her attorney are asking that her federal charges be dismissed, arguing the charges are unconstitutional, citing her judicial immunity and the Tenth Amendment....

OK, so what does the 10th actually say?

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

So Insurrectionist Hannah claims that her courtroom activity is protected by the 10th so she is immune from Federal prosecution for whatever she does in there.

Or maybe not "whatever she does," but just things she does to further her goals of criminal illegal entry and residence in the US.  

Sure.  That will sit real well with Normies, ya'know.

Could she pull this off?

Yup.

The judge hearing the case (and deciding on her motion to dismiss) is Lynn Adelman, the  prototypical Far-Left-Extreeeeeme Fed judge.  He was Far-Left-Extreeeeeeme before the term was invented, and if this inane motion is granted, we have Tommy Thompson to thank.

Think about that......

More Election Fraud in Wisconsin

This is another story that Wisconsin "press" will not cover.

... Conclusion

In his first paper examining algorithmic anomalies in the New York State Board of Elections (SBOE) voter registration database, Paquette hypothesized that systematically duplicated voter records might be linked through undisclosed identifiers within the database structure. The current findings in Wisconsin provide concrete evidence of such a mechanism through the CodedID system, which effectively creates a parallel identification structure alongside the official voter registration numbers.

The Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) database analysis reveals three significant issues: (1) the “doubles” phenomenon, where different voters share functionally identical ID numbers through leading zero manipulation, (2) the “two-fers,” where the same individual maintains multiple distinct voter registration numbers linked by CodedIDs, and (3) evidence of 295 votes associated with 141 CodedIDs in the 2020 election, primarily through absentee ballots. These structural vulnerabilities collectively affect over 874,000 records identified as suspicious (11.3% of the database) and appear to conflict with HAVA requirements that each voter should appear only once in the registration system....

Apparently the Attorney General of the US does have an interest in election fraud.

She could start in Wisconsin.

Can Pharma Prices Be Reduced? Yes, Yup, Uh-Huh!!

Another case in which WISN-1130's on-air twits are simply wrong.  They don't believe Trump can force drug prices down.

Oh yeah??

...Trump’s executive order dared [drug manufacturers] to put their drugs where their big fat mouths are: if drugmakers really can offer the lowest global prices when there’s no insurance bureaucracy in the way, then do it— right to the consumer. It actually drops the hammer on both sides of the supply chain. Pharma can now prove it’s not the price-gouger, while middlemen are put on notice: cooperate with MFN pricing, or get completely cut out of the deal.

If that doesn’t work, then the sledgehammer could fall. “The HHS Secretary shall propose a rulemaking plan to impose most-favored-nation pricing,” the order said. It also directed HHS and the FDA to start fast-tracking waivers allowing Americans to buy drugs from overseas suppliers. In other words, it told Big Pharma: Either sell at MFN prices voluntarily, or we’ll let Americans buy your drugs directly from other countries at those prices anyway.

In a major escalation from his drug price-lowering policies from Trump 1.0, the order also directed the DOJ to pursue antitrust prosecution against anyone —drugmakers, PBMs, or even foreign governments—who interfere with MFN pricing or direct-to-consumer programs....

It would be nice if Congress backed all this up with legislation.

But Congress is owned, lock/stock/barrel, by three lobbies:  Big Pharma, the Military-Industrial Complex, and AIPAC.  Not even Government Employee Unions have that traction.

So Trump has to go it alone.

We voted for that!

WISN-1130 Goes Stupid

 When Qatar offered a fitted-out 747 to the United States FREE OF CHARGE--to be the next Air Force One-- a couple of WISN-1130 'experts' (Weber was one) decreed that it would look real shady if Trump accepted the gift on behalf of the US taxpayer.

Maybe they don't know that Air Force One stays with the USA and will be available to the next few Presidents, not just Trump  EDIT:  NYT reports that the plane will be FREE to TAXPAYERS but turned over to the Trump Library after he exits the office.

Well, it was early yesterday morning.  Maybe that's their excuse.  Mondays are hard.  The other possible excuse?  They were reading AIPAC talking points.  More on that follows:

Today the increasingly un-hinged Jay Weber decreed that the USA must stop Iran from enriching uranium by assisting Israel in doing the McCain Dance:  BombBombBomb, BombBombIran.....you know the one.....

He bolstered his case by asserting that Russia is unable to assist Iran should such bombing happen and--of course--that Iran's mullahs lie all the time and never keep their promises.  How much really solid intel does Jay Weber get about Russian military capabilities, especially in their back yard? 

He could have mentioned that he was reading directly from an AIPAC press release, which would make him honest.  Nope.  (For more on the Weber asininity, see this column.)

But we don't know that Weber can actually read.  He insists that Trump's budget hawk's name is "Voight" (pronounced VOYT.)  But ever since Trump's first Presidency, that man's name has been "Vought" (pronounced VOTE).

Jay Weber's NeverTrump odor is becoming a stench.  Is this the future of WISN?

Observations on the Media

 This guy writes very enjoyable prose.  Today he comments on Trump's move to reduce pharmaceutical prices substantially in the US, utilizing a "Most Favored Nation" approach.

Naturally, the Media went nuts.  Here's Jeff Childers on the case:

...As we all well know, most other countries pay much lower prices for medications. For example, the list price for diabetes medicine Jardiance is $611 for a 30-day in the US, compared with $70 in Switzerland and only $35 in Japan.

I couldn’t find any headline celebrating falling drug prices — corporate media was obsessed with how the executive order (which nobody’s even seen yet) would hurt pharmaceutical stocks. I think the media has lost the plot. Trump essentially promised to cut costs for sick people, and the media’s hair is on fire over hedge fund portfolio losses....

...If Biden had made the same announcement, every major outlet would’ve run with glowing human-interest profiles: Meet the grandmother whose insulin just became affordable thanks to bold leadership.

Under Biden, a $35 insulin cap was hailed as a historic breakthrough; under Trump, an 80% slash across the board is treated like economic terrorism. Trump could cure cancer, and they’d run with headlines like, “Biotech layoffs surge after oncology disruption.”

So to recap: Trump promises lower drug prices, and the media is as outraged as if he’d just clubbed a baby seal on the trading floor. Their outrage wasn’t over what sick Americans pay— it’s over what Pfizer’s shareholders might lose. If you ever wondered who corporate media really works for, wonder no more....

Well, Jeff, they DO work for Pfizer/Lilly/GSK, et.al.  Watch any 2 hours of TeeeeVeeee and count the ads with people dancing in the street over a little pill, or riding their jet-skis because Big Pharma cured their psoraiasis, or boy-on-boy smooches over some AIDS wonderdrug. (ick)

This has been a monstrous ripoff for decades, but when Pfizer and their little toady Fauci screwed up the entire CoVid thing, Big Pharma became a target, and Trump will ride a wave of public approval while those stock options in the hand of such vermin as Borla will melt like the Wicked Witch of the West did when she met water.

They earned it.

Real Medicaid Reform Needed

 The MSM (Ignorant Twits) class--as usual--are being mockingbird/stenographers for the Extreme Left when they denounce Medicaid spending cuts.  Repeating the lies of such as Tammy Baldwin does not enhance cred.

Here's the real issue:

...House Republicans are wrangling with potential Medicaid program cuts that may become the major sticking point to a final federal budget agreement....

...Republican Rep. Mark Harris of North Carolina is among the House members who are standing firm on medicaid spending reductions. The issue, he said, involves states that raised their spending for the program under Obamacare provisions.

"Here's the bottom line," Harris said, speaking from the House floor. "If we fail to act now, and allow millions more working capable adults to continue to freeload off Obamacare expansion, taxpayers will bear the burden of what will become a $1 trillion program."

Harris said the impact of Obamacare is disastrous: "Obamacare significantly expanded Medicaid and is quickly bankrupting the program."...

In fact, "working capable adults" (deliberately UN-employed 'adults') are getting larger medical assistance dollars than are retired adults on Medicare.

(That's a fact that Laura Loomer doesn't care to mention in her screed over these cuts.)

And of course, Teh Illegals are also doing better than Medicare recipients.

Just sayin'....

The Clinton Crapola in Poland

The old Hillary Clinton crapola re-surfaces in Poland (!!)

 

The neo-liberal government of Poland has claimed that Russia has deployed an “unprecedented” level of disinformation and other interference tactics amid the impending presidential election, as the conservative challenger has gained in the polls.

Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski has claimed that due to Poland’s importance to Ukraine’s war efforts, its upcoming presidential election has been put in the crosshairs of Moscow, which, he claimed, has used tactics like cyberattacks and disinformation to meddle with the democratic process....

Maybe, maybe not.  IIRC, Trump is a Russian, too--according to Hillary.

At the same time, the conservative in that race has Trump-ian techniques:

...The race had appeared to be heading toward a blowout in favour of former presidential candidate and Mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski, the preferred candidate of Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s globalist Civic Platform party.

However, the race has tightened considerably in recent weeks, with political newcomer, Institute of National Remembrance Chairman Karol Nawrocki of the Law and Justice Party (PiS), surging in the polls following a series of strong debate performances, including last month when he mocked the liberal mayor by placing an LGBT rainbow flag on his debate stage podium....

"Here is YOUR flag."

BOOM!!

If nothing else, the campaign will be a lot of fun to watch.

Tren de Aragua: Not Just for Rape Anymore

The TdA mob has always been good for rape, murder, robbery, and drugs.

But there's more!!

 

A newly released intelligence assessment has found that some Venezuelan government officials "facilitated" the illegal migration of members of the brutal Venezuelan criminal gang Tren De Aragua into the United States "to advance what they see as the Maduro regime's goal of destabilizing governments and undermining public safety."

However, while Venezuela's "permissive environment enables TDA to operate... the Maduro regime probably is not systematically directing Venezuelan outflows, such as to sow chaos in receiving countries," says the April memo from the National Intelligence Council, released Monday by the ODNI....--AOSHQ quoting Miranda Devine

So Maduro is not 'systematically directing' the op.

Right.  And Biden did not 'systematically direct' Fauci, either.

Has there ever been an audit of Medicaid benefit payouts in Wisconsin?
