Originalism. Yeah, That’s the Ticket! Constitutional Originalism is little more than anti-Vatican II in drag

This oped was published a while back on Medium, but w the Leonard Leo Supreme Court rolling back the 20th Century again this week, thought Id reup it on Substack.

Its important to know where Leo’s Catholic clowns get their ideas.

I have been reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and this now becomes so clear to me about the power struggle that has been waging for over a thousand years. We need to keep reporters looking behind the veil at the power structure that is already put into place by Leo & associates. Almost too late.

The Supreme Court Is About to Hand Trump a Terrifying Authoritarian Power Chief Justice John Roberts and the conservative majority are undoing the very fabric of American democracy, and they don’t seem to care.

This is exactly what most reporters and legal pundits get wrong. It is by design. The American Revolution was heresy to 1750 years of church over govt rule. Leonard Leo spent 35 tears and $600 million building a court to correct the wrongly decided revolution.

This little post sparked headlines around the world. Thanks for blowing it up to global proportions!
Joe Lonsdale is now the "Public Hangings Palantir" guy. Strangely, he seems to have moved on from the topic...at the peak of public attention.
Guess he didn't think it through.

This man must be the type of guy someone had in mind way back in history and decided we needed to have the manifestation of a devil. I saw him twice on tv and both times the feeling was one so repulsive if thoughts could eliminate him he'd be no more.

I leave kibble outside for the two feral cats in my neighborhood and last night I had two of the largest, biggest, most hugely skunks mine eyes ever did see. I wish I had been able to get a picture of them so white, so fluffy poofy fur. They amble which makes their fur undulate. Plouff plouff.

Stunning result in Miami!! The blue wave keeps going

Be not complacent nor overlook the other races won. Beware those hiding in plain sight ready to move JD Vance into position, they play not fair. We must stop Russ Vought at OMB with Project 2025 and those who support the 6 at Supreme Court and their long term agenda.
This is not politics as usual.

Ef no way setting alarm bells for Republicans it ought to be death knells for every office in which they run. For the good of the country we have to look behind the veil at the long term agenda of that GOP support structure hiding in Project2025, at OMB(Russ Vought & Mark Paoletta) The 6 at SC plus.

Albuquerque is more populous than Miami... and I know it's not a flip at the mayoral level, but let's make sure it gets at least some of the attention Miami got today!

Here's how I explained these two races in my guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

RESULTS: Democrat Tim Keller has won reelection as mayor of Albuquerque.

He defeats a former Republican sheriff, who took issue with Keller's executive order that limited collaboration with ICE.

And that's not all: Liberal faction seizes majority a city council.

As always, you can find the details of all these elections in our guide to the 25 key elections in December! (Also, follow us: @boltsmag.org.)

And this picture you see? It's from a rally in Miami: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Eileen Higgins will win Miami mayor’s race, CNN projects, breaking a nearly 30-year GOP hold | CNN Politics Eileen Higgins will be the next mayor of the city of Miami, according to a projection from CNN’s Decision Desk, breaking a nearly 30-year Republican streak in holding the nonpartisan seat and giving D...

For nearly three decades, Miami’s mayoral office has been a Republican stronghold, a symbol of continuity in a city that has otherwise evolved into a vibrant, diverse, and rapidly changing metropolis. That streak is over.

National Geographic America once made daylight saving time permanent. Here’s what went wrong. In 1974, the U.S. tried staying on daylight saving time all year. The result was darker mornings and public panic. By Jordan Friedman October 30, 2025 Love it or hate it, daylight saving time (DST) is one of the world’s most persistent experiments in tinkering with the sun. Roughly one-third of countries worldwide still practice it, but not without controversy. In the United States, the federal government first standardized the twice-yearly clock change in 1966. Today, people in almost all U.S. states—with the exceptions being Hawaii and most of Arizona—“springs forward” in March and “falls back” in November. In recent years, multiple states have proposed or passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent, but those laws can’t take effect without Congress’s approval. But the U.S. has tried it before. In January 1974, Americans turned their clocks ahead in an experiment…

“The sun rose at 8:30am or later… Four Connecticut teenagers were struck on their way to school… In Florida, eight students were fatally struck…” Standard Time is needed for natural morning sunlight!

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

It's called "sanewashing" that has been ongoing since the first abomination of a trump administration. We really need to take a good look at who we are as a country and start putting pressure on those with the long term agenda hiding in plain sight at OMB and Project 2025. The 6 at SC, and more.

NO. Without knowing the nutritious value of octopus I say NO. I am sure we can use our creative intelligence to figure out a better food source for nutrition than this. Relieved and faith restored to see overwhelming majority of NO's.

I finally figured out earlier tonight that to him "treason" means saying anything negative about him. He has no clue as to the real meaning of the word "treason" or "sedition" either. It all means something about HIM not the country. He is truly ignorant of a grammar school level of knowledge.

Tonight Symone Sanders-Townsend won the "Totally 10 LOL" award for the most descriptive news reporting of the laughingstock of the world. With superb backup from the 10+ best looking cable news host Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez who closes the perfect circle. These 3 are the best for bad news.

Logorrhea.
The word to describe the garbage crossing the barrier of his teeth is, logorrhea. (TY @amamazed.bsky.social for reminding me of this totally accurate word). "...a flow of words that is hard to follow, and a tendency to ramble or jump topics.."

COL ....chuckle out loud
another perfect description 🤩
