Trump presidential actions not getting a lot of attention on MSM yet
Uriel, 'Nox & Friends - 16 hours ago
First Executive Order – “Safe Policing for Safe Communities” — issued on June 16 has to do with police enforcement personnel. Expect an outcry. Purpose. As Americans, we believe that all persons are created equal and endowed with the inalienable rights to life and liberty. A fundamental purpose of government is to secure these inalienable rights. Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement officers place their lives at risk every day to ensure that these rights are preserved. Law enforcement officers provide the essential protection that all Americans require t...

Marxist controlled BLM is defacing the achievements of Blacks
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
It's mind blowing that for decades statues of Lincoln and other emancipators and abolitionists have quietly witnessed to our achievements and withstood the Democrat control of our parks, cities and states. Now when the country has enjoyed a renaissance of black wealth, record low unemployment and entrepreneurship, when Blacks achieved the pinnacle of power at all levels of government and control all major cities, their history has to be defaced, destroyed and burned. Only 13% of black voters turned out to vote in Barack Obama as the first black president in 2008, although 95% of ...

On Wednesday, Eric Segall inaugurated his new video show and podcast, Supreme Myths, by interviewing me about originalism and living constitutionalism, constitutional design, and life tenure for the federal judiciary. I argued that term limits for Supreme Court Justices are valuable for many reasons, but one is that they will help lower the stakes of judicial confirmations, especially in polarized times.

Why A Peace Declaration Ending the Korean War Matters
Antonio Fiori, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Antonio Fiori* *Security, Asia* "A peace settlement would be beneficial for all involved. For the South Korean president, Moon, or his eventual successor, this would tremendously improve his country’s relationship with the North and could be touted as a personal and political accomplishment. For Kim, this would be a validation of the regime to be sold at home as a huge diplomatic success. For Trump, this would be the foundation for a real denuclearization effort on the peninsula and a terrific political card to leverage in domestic politics." *Editor's Note:* As the world commem...

Varuzhan Nersesyan, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Varuzhan Nersesyan* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Even as the UN secretary-general has pleaded for a global cessation of hostilities amidst this unprecedented health crisis, Azerbaijan has chosen to escalate its war rhetoric against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh or Artsakh, which declared its independence in 1991. The coronavirus has tested the resilience and unity of nations large and small, rich and poor, with wealth and technological advancement providing little if any guarantee of protection.

Journalist and photographer Linda Tirado was standing near a police line in Minneapolis May 29, covering the George Floyd protests engulfing the city. All of a sudden, her face “exploded” in her own words. She had been shot from close range in the eye, permanently blinding her. Her goggles shattered and tear gas entered the wound, causing even more pain. The police had shot her. Protestors pulled her away from her attackers, put her into a vehicle and drove her to the hospital where they were unable to save her eye, but were able to give her a $58,000 bill, likely the first of many...

Unoriginal Joke (Part III): Living Constitutionalism and Social Progress
Guest Blogger, Balkinization - 16 hours ago
Charles Barzun In the last Part of this series, I suggested that the essential nugget at the heart of “living constitutionalism” is the idea that part of what grounds the constitution’s authority for us is its capacity to adapt (i.e., to respond appropriately) to changing circumstances. I called this the *adaptability claim.* Different versions of living constitutionalism fill out the adaptability claim in different ways, for different reasons. But in my view, one quite traditional version has not been given the attention its due, even though it is, to my mind, the one that most c...

Who's Banning Whom?

She believes Trump is mishandling the coronavirus pandemic and racial justice protests -- no, really? ya think? -- and is also bad at politics. His long-term political malpractice has been his failure—with a rising economy, no unemployment and no hot wars—to build his support beyond roughly 40% of the country. He failed because he obsesses on his base and thinks it has to be fed and greased with the entertainments that alienate everyone else. B...

Destruction of the Emancipation statue
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 17 hours ago
I watched a Black woman on TV "explain" to a crowd (mostly young white adults) why the Lincoln emancipation statue needed to be destroyed--it showed slaves subservient and didn't represent how they participated in the emancipation. I suppose there's an element of truth there, but it is art and it also didn't show Lincoln as a man much vilified for his beliefs, his lack of a formal education and his physical appearance. It particularly did not show the many free Blacks of that pre-war time who owned slaves. They owned slaves at a higher rate than southern whites according to Henry ...
