Sefton: Off-Course at Best

Generally speaking, JJSefton over at Ace's Place provides extremely well-written commentary and excerpts some excellent goodies from other essays.  See this, e.g., from Michael Walsh:

... Although the Islamic ummah declared war on the United States of America in 1998, and although President Trump has designated Mexican and South American narco gangs such as Tren de Aragua as terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, an appalling number of American lawyers -- including some ostensibly on the right -- appear not to have gotten the message, and have dragged him into federal court over and over again over the phantom issue of alien "rights."

. . . It's easy to know where to place the blame: on George W. Bush, the man who appointed Roberts, who fumbled the Battle of 9/11 so badly that the country is still paying the price for his lack of resolve, who gave us Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, and the TSA. One might also go back to the first Bush presidency, that of George H.W. Bush, who bungled the end of the Cold War in 1989-1991 and thus created the conditions for the international shambles we are living through today. . .

. . . We can date the decline of the United States as an international power to the first Bush presidency, and that decline’s emphatic punctuation with the presidency of his son, George W. Bush. “Poppy,” as the elder was called, essentially ceded control of the events that followed the end of the Soviet Union and the liberation of Eastern Europe—the cornerstone of American foreign policy for nearly half a century—to other players: to Boris Yeltsin in Russia, Helmut Kohl in Germany, Vaclav Havel in Czechoslovakia, and, critically, to the Hungarian-born George (Schwartz) Soros, who invested a great deal of money in the rebuilding of the East Bloc and was widely hailed at the time as a moneyed capitalist savior from the wreckage of communism.

And then 9/11 happened: . .

Now we're fighting saboteurs and infiltrators from our own hemisphere, here on our home turf, "Maryland men." After Pearl Harbor, FDR went before Congress to declare, "No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

. . . Now, instead of the chair, our enemies get the best lawyers your money can buy, and laugh in your face....

Walsh's contention that Bush One marked the beginning of the end (and he was an ex-Director of the CIA........hmmmmm) and GWB (the Dumber) only made it a helluvalot worse, elides a very important development in US law during the GWB mess:  The "Patriot Act."  Under the terms of that abomination, Americans are subject to continuous and total monitoring of all their communications, whether on paper or by phone or computer.  And that abuse prevails right through today.

OK, so why is Sefton "off-course"?  

Because he slams Sen. Ron Johnson for asking a few pertinent questions about Building Seven on the Second Day of In-tifada-famy:  9/11.  Sefton, with apparently waaaaaayyyyy too much coffee, tells us that such inquiries are strictly out-of-bounds; that they are the province only of Tinfoil Hats.

Sefton forgets something:  Ron Johnson was the ONLY prominent Senatorial voice openly and aggressively questioning Trump/Fauci's prescription for Covid which was "90 Days to Slow the Spread," Masking and Separation (the sacraments of idiocy), and Teh Vaxx.  He was also a very lonely voice proclaiming that CoVid was a Red Chinese weapon and that it was funded by the US taxpayer through a cutout.  As was proven, JOHNSON WAS RIGHT.  (Yes, he was joined by Rand Paul and a few others.) 

JJ, shut your face on this one, unless you have conclusive evidence that RoJo is wrong.

You don't.  So Shut Up.
