Nadler, Pillar of Democratic Party's Old Guard, Will Retire Next Year
Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress's leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.
The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Mr. Nadler at the center of major civil rights battles and three presidential impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of Manhattan.
In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, Mr. Nadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that President Trump is threatening the foundations of democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard.
"Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that," Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor "can maybe do better, can maybe help us more."
Mr. Nadler, who is both the longest-serving New Yorker and Jewish member of the House, had already been swept up in an intraparty reckoning over aging leaders. He was forced to give up his House Judiciary Committee leadership at the beginning of the term when it became clear a younger, more energetic colleague would beat him. Back home, he was facing a 26-year-old primary challenger.
...
Mr. Nadler also declined to name specific colleagues he believed should retire, though he acknowledged that other aging Democrats ought to consider it.
"I'm not saying we should change over the entire party," he said. "But I think a certain amount of change is very helpful, especially when we face the challenge of Trump and his incipient fascism."
...
For years, Mr. Nadler's seat snaked down the West Side of Manhattan into Brooklyn, making it the most Jewish district in the country. In 2022, redistricting forced him into a painful primary with a longtime crosstown ally, Representative Carolyn Maloney. Mr. Nadler won in a rout.
Indeed. NY courts redrew NYC's Congressional districts. Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney, two hard-left liberals, were forced to compete in the same primary when their districts were merged. Nader defeated Maloney.
Mr. Nadler said last week that he was now fearful Mr. Trump was bent on undoing much of what he had fought for in Congress.
...
"I am not terribly optimistic. I wish I could be," Mr. Nadler said. "But this is the most severe threat we've had to our system of government since the Civil War, and unfortunately Abraham Lincoln is not the president."
A big impetus for his decision: He's pro-Israel in a party that is now pro-Hamas terrorism and pro-Second-Holocaujst.
...
For years, he has tried to stake out space for a politics that was both pro-Israel and progressive. But in the interview, he conceded that Israel's brutal prosecution of the war in Gaza had not only turned Democrats against a former ally "to a very major extent" but made his own position increasingly hard to maintain.
"I don't know what to say at this point," he said. "I can't defend what Israel is doing."
Mr. Nadler has been sharply critical of Hamas, still believes in a two-state solution for the region and does not agree with those who say Israel is carrying out genocide in Gaza. But he said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza "without question."
After Left Wing Lunatics Push "Trump Is Dead" Hoax on Twitter, Governor and Former VP Candidate Tim Walz Enthusiastically Proclaims That While Trump Didn't Die Yet, He Will Die Soon
President Donald Trump on Saturday was photographed leaving for his golf course in Virginia, dispelling unfounded rumors spread on social media that Trump had died in recent days after not being seen publicly.
Trump, seen with his granddaughter Kai Trump, was seen entering a vehicle on the White House's south lawn Saturday morning while en route to his Trump National golf course in northern Virginia.
Search inquiries for "Trump," "is Trump dead" and "Trump dead" were among the top searches on Google as of noon Saturday while "Where is Donald Trump" was trending on X.
Note that Biden took entire months off and barely made any public appearances.
But this is typical of the left -- they are childish and immediately attempt to Uno Reverse every fair criticism of them and turn the same criticisms, maladroitly and often absurdly, against their eternal enemies, normal decent people.
(Complaining that DEI discriminates against you? Here's a tissue, Snowflake.)
The most childish leftists pushing this "Nyah, nyah, I'm rubber you're glue" messaging are, of course, the "Generational Wealth"-hungry perverts of the Lincoln Project.
While the Assassination Lobby of the left continues praising Luigi Mangione and openly praying for Trump's death, Tim Waltz promises Democrats that while we didn't get good "news" over the weekend, the good news of Trump's death is coming.
I hate playing the "if the GOP..." game, but Republican leaders were savaged to the extent that they questioned Biden's obvious infirmity.
If a GOP governor had basically wished he would die, it would have been a 72 hour media-wide spasm. https://t.co/VHIy07urPK
If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday after arriving on a flight from Arizona and faces an investigation over recent social media posts on X.
"On Monday, 1 September at 13:00 hours officers arrested a man at Heathrow Airport after he arrived on an inbound American Airlines flight. The man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of inciting violence. This is in relation to posts on X," the Metropolitan Police told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement on Tuesday. Linehan was not named directly in the statement, but multiple outlets, including the BBC, reported that Linehan was the person arrested. And Linehan himself wrote about the arrest on Substack.
"After being taken to police custody, officers became concerned for his health and he was taken to hospital. His condition is neither life-threatening nor life-changing," the Metropolitan Police statement continued. Linehan was released on bail "pending further investigation" into three X posts in April 2025.
On Substack, Linehan said his bail condition ordered him "not to go on Twitter" and that his arrest and an initial interview with police officers over X posts related to trans people.
"Later, during the interview itself, the tone shifted. The officer conducting it asked about each of the terrible tweets in turn, with the sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something serious like ... oh, I dunno -- crime? I explained that the 'punch' tweet was a serious point made with a joke. Men who enter women's spaces ARE abusers and they need to be challenged every time," Linehan recounted.
The Free Speech Union
@SpeechUnion
When @Glinner landed at Heathrow, he was met by five armed police officers, and immediately arrested.
His 'crime'? Three gender-critical tweets.
As Graham says in his Substack:
"In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer".
Graham's single bail condition is that he does not go on X.
We do not believe Graham's arrest or the bail conditions imposed were lawful. We will be backing him all the way in his fight against these preposterous allegations and the disproportionate response from the police.
The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity… Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons.
But it has become an incredibly powerful tool for Islam, and its newly ascendant drive to dominate the West and create a worldwide Caliphate. Of course, that desire has never flagged, but the ebb and flow of power and religion and technological and cultural advancement (and its lack in the Arab/Muslim world) has conspired to prevent Islam from acquiring the means to destroy Christianity, Hinduism, and Judaism.
That has changed: Oil revenue, the revolution in transportation, the internet and its instant worldwide connectivity, and most of all the post-modern decay of the West has allowed militant Islam (is there any other kind?) unprecedented access to the West; both physically through immigration, and virtually, through the internet and the purchase of influence with oceans of oil revenue.
And the "Palestine" question is the tip of the spear of Islam. They use the issue to cow weak-willed Western governments into vilifying Israel, which paradoxically is the one Western country that is fighting Islam's expansion! They use their millions of followers in the West as violent signals of what Islam is capable of...mobilizing them for often violent street protests that are designed to frighten the populace and signal to the political classes that they must support Islam, because it is growing, it is violent, and it will vote!
Those carefully choreographed mass prayers in Western cities? Why do they pray in the streets when they have perfectly good mosques available? They are flexing! When thousands of Muslims block traffic near the Vatican for their performative street theater of prayer, in spite of Rome having a 12,000 person mosque, it is for one thing...to signal to the world that the West, Christianity, Catholicism, and the Pope are targets.
"Palestine" is an excuse. The Arab world finds the so-called Palestinians to be more trouble than they are worth, and much prefer that they remain in Gaza and Judea and Samaria (or immigrate to the West). Just look at Egypt...right next to Gaza, yet their border is tightly controlled and impassable, and they are serious about keeping the Gazans out of Egypt!
But as a tool to destroy Israel? Absolutely. And as a tool with which to intimidate Western politicians who are willing to feed that crocodile? Fantastic!
Until the West realizes that Islam is a revolutionary political philosophy that uses an ersatz religion to control its adherents, and that its goal is world domination, we will continue to lose ground.
The recent summit of China, India, and Russia is in stark contrast to the West's inability to see Islam as it is, rather than as it wishes to be seen. China controls its Muslim population with an iron fist. India has a simmering conflict with Pakistan and regularly cracks down on its Muslim population, and Russia has no illusions about Islam's goals.
Are those three countries going to be the saviors of the world against Islam?

That a brave 14-year-old girl has to be persecuted by the Scottish government for the crime against humanity (in their evil eyes) of wielding a hatchet to defend herself and her little sister from probably being raped by some Muslim migrant, says it all. That the country of Robert the Bruce and William Wallace allows this is an abomination beyond my ability to define it.
Right-wing parties are simultaneously leading polls across Europe’s biggest economies in a first for the continent’s nationalist and populist movements.
In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known together as Europe’s “Big Three,” right-wing parties have surged in popularity on angst over lax immigration policies and high inflation, according to The Wall Street Journal. . . In France, citizens have reacted against the country’s growing Muslim population which many see as a threat to French values. The slogan “Let’s block everything” has grown popular on social media in France in reaction to unsustainable spending, in part on immigration that has little direct benefit for French citizens, that has led to austerity measures.
In Germany and the United Kingdom, both countries have experienced record waves of immigration in recent years. Germany’s foreign-born population has surged from 15% of its total population in 2017 to 22% last year.
The United Kingdom has seen raw immigration numbers comparable to the surge that swamped the United States immigration system under Biden within the same time frame. Unlike the United States, however, the United Kingdom’s population is about a fifth the size of the United States’.
In England though (as well as France), the mass wave of migration legal and otherwise is not a recent phenomenon. This has been going on at least since the end of the Second World War as former African and Middle Eastern and South Asian colonies gained independence and millions of residents migrated to the home countries of their former colonial overlords.
It took a few generations, but the perfect storm of Leftist/Socialist/Woke ideological self-hatred and Islam's millennium-and-a-half quest for global domination is wreaking havoc in the West.
A top Labour parliamentarian has accused those involved in the anti-mass migration campaign to raise the England flag in England of being “extremists”. Member of Parliament for Norwich South Clive Lewis has claimed that the so-called “far-right” are behind the patriotic “raise the colours” campaign of hanging England’s St George’s cross flag and the Union Jack in his constituency after flags were raised outside of a migrant hotel in Bowthorpe last week. Speaking to the local Eastern Daily Press, the Caribbean-heritage MP said that while “some” may be flying the flag out of national pride, he claimed that “far‑right groups are using these flags to mark territory and intimidate the vast majority who reject their extreme views.”
If the Union Jack and George's Cross are signs symbols of hatred, what does this Clive Lewis cancer think of Muslim Rape gangs that have been rampaging all across Blightly for years? Maybe he'd be happy if Britons waving the flag put the flags down and instead carried meat cleavers into Muslim neighborhoods and give the Muslims a taste of their own culture by re-enacting what two of them did to an off duty British Fusilier named Lee Rigby back in 2013
Meh, the European politicians better pray that their constituents don't march on their houses of parliament and do unto them what was done to Lee Rigby. Perhaps that brave Scottish girl might be an incarnation of Boudicca herself.
Over on this side of the Pond, it's a toss-up as to what's the greater threat, open borders and mass legal immigration of Muslims and other cultures antithetical to American/western values who refuse to assimilate and indeed are intentionally or otherwise threatening to swamp/subsume our culture, OR our own indigenous Leftists whose 200-plus year drive for absolute power has resulted in all of the suffering, bloodshed, dislocation and wastage of money, life and human potential. And open borders is not necessarily a stand-alone issue but one of their biggest weapons to achieve their aims in our destruction and/or enslavement.
“It is clear that the teachers unions’ priorities are advancing far-left politics and radical social justice issues, not the education of children,” Defending Ed researcher Rhyen Staley told the outlet. “This is a slap in the face to families and teachers who want to focus on helping students improve their reading and math skills. It is time that Congress acts to stop this obscene redistribution of public monies to advance left-wing identity politics.”
. . . “You’d think in light of the decline in union membership in recent years, that they’d start providing value to members that outweighs the cost of membership,” Withe told the outlet. “Instead, they are appeasing the radical base of union members by advocating for men in women’s sports, transitioning minors, antisemitism and other radical ideological stances.”
Withe called the findings the “tip of the iceberg,” considering “there are thousands of statewide and city and county teachers unions that are mostly funding the same causes.”
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
This Labor Day, America works for Americans again,” Noem said, noting that all new jobs gains have gone to U.S. citizens. Further, she pointed out that 2.5 million Americans are “back at work since January.” “In comparison, 88% of jobs created during the same period under Biden went to foreign-born workers,” she explained. “Meanwhile DHS reforms have saved taxpayers over $13.2 billion,” she continued. “President Trump and I are putting the American worker FIRST.

Monday Overnight Open Thread - September 1, 2025 [Doof]
—Open Blogger
Howdy Hordelings! Happy Labor Day to ya! I'm not actually here tonight - I'm on my way to Bermuda on a cruise ship. If you're reading this, then some other member of Ace's Happy Worker Party pushed the launch button on tonight's ONT.
Enjoy your week. See you all at Club ONT on Saturday!
Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
McGuire v. Maguire: Who Founded Labor Day?
Who first proposed the holiday for workers? It’s not entirely clear, but two workers can make a solid claim to the Founder of Labor Day title.
Some records show that in 1882, Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, suggested setting aside a day for a "general holiday for the laboring classes" to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire's place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that machinist Matthew Maguire, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday.
Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.
According to the New Jersey Historical Society, after President Cleveland signed the law creating a national Labor Day, the Paterson Morning Call published an opinion piece stating that "the souvenir pen should go to Alderman Matthew Maguire of this city, who is the undisputed author of Labor Day as a holiday." Both Maguire and McGuire attended the country’s first Labor Day parade in New York City that year.
No single job suits all of us, but many of the best ones have a few attributes in common: They pay well, challenge us year after year, match our talents and skills, aren't too stressful, offer room to advance throughout our careers, and provide a satisfying work-life balance. Job seekers also often consider whether a position is in demand. U.S. News used these qualities to rank the 100 Best Jobs of 2025.
Good News This Labor Day - There’s a Crowdsourced Insurgency Jamming Corporate America’s H-1B Job Replacement Scheme
—Buck Throckmorton
On this Labor Day, the old labor battles, especially management vs labor, are fading as a new battle emerges – globalist, America-last corporations versus job-seeking Americans.
“Diversity” has been an excuse to replace Americans with cheap foreign labor who are effectively indentured servants on American soil. US citizens are let go from their jobs, then the corporations who dismissed the American workers sub-contract the work out to labor importers who maintain a plantation-like hold on the foreign workers they control. The H-1B visa program allows up to 85,000 Americans per year to be replaced by foreign labor brought to American shores, and once here, there is another fraud-riddled process to grant these foreign laborers permanent status.
The Economic Policy Institute investigated and learned that the top thirty H-1B employers by themselves hired 34,000 new H-1B workers in 2022 alone, while laying off 85,000 workers.
As awful as this anti-American program is, the primary target has been American tech workers, and they are smart enough to be able to use tech to fight back. An online campaign has gone viral to counter the deceptively dishonest measures being used by those hiring foreign labor. Specifically, employers are required by law to prove that there are no qualified American applicants. Their scheme is now being jammed, and the beneficiaries of the transoceanic labor-trade are starting to protest the unfairness of Americans fighting back.
• Corporations are replacing U.S. citizens as employees with cheaper foreign H-1B labor. 71% of H-1B employees are Indian and 12% are Chinese nationals.
• Employers then seek “PERM” status for these H-1B workers. PERM is a Labor Department status allowed if no U.S. citizen who is “minimally qualified” can be found to fill the position.
• The employer must prove that there are no minimally qualified US citizens, so they place a couple of job postings in obscure newspaper classified ads, or on obscure job boards. These jobs tend to not even be posted on the companies’ own job boards, much less popular job-seeking sites such as Linked-In or Indeed.
• The jobs are often already filled before the job-posting charade is initiated.
• Some tech employees have created an online jobs board called “Jobs.now” to aggregate these virtually hidden job postings.
• A guerilla online movement is accessing these jobs at Jobs.now and flooding employers with job applications. By law, employers cannot ignore these applications if they want to hire foreigners to do jobs Americans are applying for.
The campaign is working.
Immigration attorney Anna K. Gorisch went on Twitter to condemn the flood of job applicants who are jamming up the H-1B scam, lamenting that “Flooding companies with unserious applications just to deny an H-1B worker permanent residence sponsorship is the labor market equivalent of a DDoS attack. Every applicant who appears to meet the minimum requirements must be contacted and all communication documented. Resumes might be fake or there may be a key skill they are missing, but no HR department has the capacity to follow up with hundreds of facially qualified applicants, so they just give up.”
How tragic. The HR departments of companies seeking to evade US labor law must engage with and respond to United States citizens applying for jobs in the United States.
Prominent politicians who understand which way the political winds are blowing are lining up behind American workers and against the brokers of semi-chattel foreign labor. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rightfully labels the H-1B system a scam, stating that"I think you're right to say the H-1B, it's become a total scam. These companies game the system. Some of these companies are laying off large numbers of Americans while also hiring new H-1B workers and renewing existing H-1B visas."
DeSantis strategist and former spokesman Christina Pushaw has been punching back at those accusing the grass-roots H-1B pushback of engaging in illicit behavior. Ms. Pushaw stated that Jobs.now“always advises Americans to apply ONLY if they meet the qualifications for a listed job. They aren't encouraging ‘unserious’ applications or unqualified candidates to bombard these companies. The fact is, a lot of H1Bs are in tech jobs, and a lot of tech companies have recently laid off American workers. So it follows that there are many Americans in tech currently looking for work and qualified for jobs in their field. This is how the labor market SHOULD work.”
She also addresses the underlying complaint against Jobs.now by stating, “Applying for jobs isn’t a crime.”
A gentleman who uses the name “Chief Engineer” (@ChiefNiftyswell) on Twitter/X has done an excellent job documenting all this, writing in response to Ms. Gorisch:
When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth:
• They’re not short on talent.
• They’re not desperate for foreign labor.
• They’re overwhelmed with qualified Americans
This tweet is their confession. They call it a “DDoS attack.” We call it accountability. Because when the system has to respond to hundreds of qualified Americans, the fake shortage collapses.”
People ask: How can we help? How do we know if we’re making a difference?
Here’s how —> and here’s proof.

Chinese Ph.D. Student Pleads No Contest to Smuggling Biological Materials into U.S.A. . . a second Chinese national, who is charged with smuggling in a toxic fungus that is considered a potential agroterrorism weapon, also remains under arrest.
. . . allowing Chinese students to study in the United States is the “right thing to do” because it’s good to get along with other countries.
To Emperor Pu-Pu platter Pooh Xi, tetting along with Red China requires 300 million dead or enslaved Americans. An oxygen-tented President Trump likely would be whistling a different tune, if he could muster enough air from lungs rotting away due to some Chinese Student-imported Franken-Virus. But then again, after the biological warfare unleashed on us in 2020, aided and abetted by Anthony Fauci and US taxpayer dollars, you'd think he'd have learned his lesson. Well, it seems as if he's whistling — right past the graveyard with this insanity. Let alone the mass infiltration of the Red Chinese into even the most sensitive areas of our nation and economy.
A fascinating video on X shows a young woman who identifies as a “Palestinian” spending almost nine minutes trying to explain why her black, pro-Palestine friends were wrong to be offended when West Bank denizens referred to them as “monkeys” and “slaves.” Watching her intellectual contortions is impressive as she tries to hide a fundamental fact: Arabs despise blacks.
A little history is appropriate. The African slave trade to the West probably wouldn’t have existed were it not for the Muslim Arab slave traders. It did not matter to them that many of the Africans whom they sold into slavery were fellow Muslims. What mattered was that they were black. To that end, during the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Arab traders happily brokered an estimated 12.5 million black Africans into demeaning and often deadly slavery.
The National Museum of African American History and Culture, a Smithsonian Institution center in Washington, D.C., features exhibits that glorify violent radical groups like the Nation of Islam (NOI) and offer historical falsehoods on issues like slavery, a Washington Free Beacon review found. The NOI features prominently in the museum, with exhibits offering effusive praise to the group with little mention of the organization's history of violence, anti-White radicalism, and anti-Semitism.
But Donald Trump is literally Hitler and a white supremacist apologist for wanting to erase history or something. FYI many Africans, along with self-described "Palestinians" are quite literally sold into slavery and or kept in indentured servitude across the Arab and Muslim world to this very day. But Israel is committing genocide, or something.
The unhinged hostility to Donald Trump’s successful crime crackdown in Washington, DC, puts Democrats inexplicably on the wrong side of their own voters. What on earth are they thinking?
Law and order is quite literally an 80-20 issue. You don’t need a pollster to say so, but 81% of Americans of all political persuasions say crime is a “major problem,” according to a new AP-NORC poll released last week.
The other 19% must be either criminals or blue city politicians — or both. The president’s approval rating has shot up from 40% in July to 45%, likely as a result of his deployment of the National Guard to DC and his promise to replicate the model in crime-ridden cities from Chicago to Baltimore and New York.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) is threatening President Donald Trump over possibly sending the National Guard to Chicago as crime grips the city.
In a social media post on Wednesday, Pritzker claimed officials would not stand down if the president decides to make the move. . .
. . . However, it appears that many of the city’s residents do in fact want Trump to take law enforcement action. Chicago businessman and former mayoral candidate Dr. Willie Wilson told reporters the issue was “not political” as people living on the south and west sides of the city were suffering under shootings, assaults, and robberies that made them feel unsafe, according to Fox 32.
As to Sitz-Pritzker, in the immortal words of Iconic Democrat/Leftist Superhero and role model Josef Stalin, "How many divisions does Pritzker have?"
On August 30, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson put his city on record against President Donald Trump when signing what he called the Protecting Chicago Initiative, an executive order directing local police to disregard orders from federal agents should Trump send the cavalry into the city. . . Legal experts reviewing Johnson's EO quickly called it largely symbolic. Any mayor has authority over his officers, but that command ends with federal agencies. At best, an order limits cooperation; at worst, it tells the street that Johnson is more concerned about stopping Washington than stopping them.
“Let’s be clear: if the National Guard comes to Philadelphia and commits crimes, they will be prosecuted locally and Donald Trump cannot pardon them,” the Soros DA told CNN.
He won’t prosecute criminals, but he’ll prosecute soldiers.
Even DA Krasner probably knows enough about the law to realize exactly how far he would get trying to do this. It’ll go about as far as the threats to arrest ICE personnel being made by Democrats.
And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Johnson signed the “Protecting Chicago” order, a multi-departmental directive that requires federal officers to follow city policies on policing and utilizes legal action to prevent “any attempts to systematically violate the rights of Chicagoans.” The order takes direct aim at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel, requiring all federal law enforcement officers to refrain from “wearing masks” during arrests and ordering them to identify themselves by agency and badge number.

Roger Kimball: The NED began life in the Cold War as a way of projecting “soft power” against our Communist adversaries.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case: Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right.
But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does.
I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule.
I have the docket number so I can track what gets appealed to the Court of Appeals. If Trump wants to appeal, I think he might file an appeal as of right and a petition for permission to appeal. His lawyers know this case much better than I, but even they might know what the effect of all the opinions are.
I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.
