Daily News Roundup
NOTABLE QUOTES
Julie Kelly contributor to American Greatness: Unfortunately, Republicans are largely responsible for the accelerated rate of corruption and malfeasance at the FBI. For years, congressional Republicans promised to hold FBI officials culpable for various scandals but failed to act. Writing mean letters and ranting on social media won’t cut it when Republicans take control of Congress next year—few issues are more important than either reforming or dissolving this rogue department using its massive powers against the American people.
Sundance contributor to The Last Refuge: The federal takeover of healthcare, via Obamacare, was the ‘big move in Obama’s first term’. The federal takeover of all energy production and delivery, via climate change ideology, is the ‘big move in Obama’s third term.’
Hugo Gurdon Editor-in-Chief Washington Examiner: The president’s left hand seems utterly clueless about the mischief his far-left hand is getting up to. As Katie Tubb writes in the Washington Examiner magazine’s cover story this week, the administration repeatedly contradicts itself, undoing with one policy what it seems to attempt with another. It tells Wall Street to invest in oil companies but changes the rules to make investment unattractive. It helps climate warriors tie up energy companies in court battles and pushes “policies that frustrate future oil, coal, and natural gas exploration, production, distribution, and investment, even as it saps taxpayers to boost subsidies for renewable energy.” While the far-left hand is doing this and much more, the more sensible left hand, panicked about burning its fingers in the November congressional midterm elections, pleads with OPEC to pump more crude, begs Venezuela for increased supplies, and releases a record 180 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) expressed alarm with Biden’s plan to release 1/3 of the oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: “I think that they are doing this because they are so concerned about Biden’s sinking, plummeting poll numbers that they are desperate for anything. … We need to stop telling our adversaries exactly what we are going to do and what we’re not going to do. And this move to basically drain a third of our strategic oil reserves, this is ludicrous. This is putting our national security at risk.”
Jacob Bliss reporter, Breitbart: House Democrats blocked a motion by the Republicans on Thursday to consider a bill for the fourth time that would have allowed the United States to be energy independent from Russia as they recently invaded Ukraine.
Patricia McCarthy contributor to American Thinker: No doubt Judge Brown Jackson is a nice woman, a smart woman who does know the difference between men and women, but her dedication to the far-left’s campaign to destroy America as founded, to forgive those who engage in the use of child pornography, to sexualize very young children, to aggressively push transgenderism, and to reorder society based on race not character, renders her a Trojan Horse, a grenade sent to do further damage to our once-great nation that is being systematically destroyed by the quislings who installed Joe Biden as President.
Mark Krikorian Center for Immigration Studies disclosed Biden’s plan post Title 42: . . .the White House plan for dealing with the surge of new illegal immigration — which will come on top of the existing historic surge of illegal immigration – is not to halt the surge but to launder it by granting asylum immediately to virtually all those who jump the border. The goal is to “process” hundreds of thousands of border jumpers in an “efficient and fair” manner so that they’re no longer illegal aliens. Once they’ve been re-christened as asylees (and thus on a path to citizenship), there are no more messy questions about whether they’ll show up for court and whether they’ll leave when they lose their asylum claim (as most currently do).
Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-NM): ‘If they do eliminate Title 42 completely, we may see up to 18,000 people per day coming across the southern border.”
David Gortler contributor to The American Mind: FDA and CDC officials are still pushing a potentially unsafe and ineffective Covid-19 vaccine. The original strain of Covid-19 has been replaced by mutations. Continuing to promote the original vaccine for the mutated strain of Covid-19 is akin to promoting last year’s flu vaccine for this year’s flu strain. The original, Wuhan version of Covid-19 doesn’t exist today.
Aaron Sibarium’s substack blog Common Sense: As of last month, the American Bar Association is requiring all accredited law schools to “provide education to law students on bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism,” both at the start of law school and “at least once again before graduation.” That’s in addition to a mandatory legal ethics class, which must now instruct students that they have a duty as lawyers to “eliminate racism.” (The American Bar Association, which accredits almost every law school in the United States, voted 348 to 17 to adopt the new standard.)
Larry Sand contributor to Frontpage Magazine: . . . we have gotten to the point where colleges are much more successful at stifling contrarian views than helping students find a meaningful life path. Parents, before you blindly spend an ungodly sum of cash for your kid’s college education, you owe it to them to carefully examine and consider the alternatives.
The Right Scoop: If you wake up one day and aren’t feeling like a man or woman and you just so happen to need a passport, then you are in luck! Joe Biden and his leftist administration has just added the X ‘gender’ to all passports and you can get one in less than two weeks:
Derek Hunter contributor to TownHall: Most of my gay friends are embarrassed by what the “gay rights” movement has become.
Katherine Hamilton contributor to Breitbart: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Thursday became the first federal agency to fly the “trans pride flag,”
Jim Hoft Gateway Pundit co-founder: According to the TSA website, new advanced imaging technology will be used that has software that “looks at the anatomy of men and women differently.”
John Mac Ghlionn contributor to The American Mind: Rollo Tomassi, the bestselling author of the Rational Male series, told me that America’s young men need to be taught that Masculinity is not toxic. “For over 60 years,” he said, “we’ve socially engineered four generations of men to either loathe their masculinity or question its authenticity in defining men’s’ identities.”
TRANSHUMANISM: HUMANS 2.0
Miele: Transhumanism Has Turned Global
Transhumanism Editor Joe Allen leads a discussion about the World Government Summit 2022, whoch has just been held in Dubai. Not surprisingly, these global elites see a future where technology controls people. “Worldwide, this concept of transhumanism, the concept [that] human society can and should be transformed by technology, is a global phenomenon, and it’s something that world leaders take very, very seriously.” If you want to watch for yourselves, Day 1 and Day 2 of the summit are included in YouTube videos below.

GREAT GLOBAL RESET
Sundance: World Government Summit Introduces the New Financial World Order – The Intent of the Digital ID That Follows the Vaccination Passport
The World Government Summit 2022 took place on March 29 and 30 in Dubai, hosting more than 4,000 individuals from 190 countries including senior government officials, heads of international organizations, and global “experts.” The invited participants presented ideas and worldviews from within their various fields of specialty. One presentation that needs to be highlighted was from Dr. Pippa Malmgren, an American economist who served as special advisor on Economic Policy to President George W. Bush. Her father, Harald Malmgren, served as a senior aide to US Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. In this segment, Mrs. Malmgren says the quiet part out loud. Yes, they are no longer hiding the construct; indeed, as you will hear they are saying quite openly what the future will look like. […] The digital currency requires a digital identity in order for apportionment based on your value to society. This is essentially an extension of the Fabian mindset into the world of financial transactions and monetary evaluations. Fabians believed that some form of socioeconomic tribunal would be needed in order for each citizen to be quantified according to their “worth” to society. The Chinese social credit score is a variant of that same concept. […] A digital currency and digital identity is not a conspiracy theory, these “global leaders” are explaining it to us out loud. However, I am concerned that most will not hear it, or understand it, until it is too late.

FIGHT FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY
(Arizona) Neff: Election Citizenship Requirement Hit With Lawsuit A Day After Being Signed Into Law
A federal lawsuit has been filed against Arizona’s new proof of citizenship election law, less than 24 hours after Gov. Doug Ducey signed the legislation. Phoenix-based Mi Familia Vota is suing Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, and all 15 county recorders in an effort to obtain an injunction preventing several provisions of House Bill 2492 from taking effect later this year. The lawsuit also seeks a declaration that the provisions are unconstitutional. HB2492 was introduced by Rep. Jake Hoffman to address concerns that non-U.S. citizens are registered to vote in Arizona, many as Federal Only Voters who can cast ballots for U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and President without verification of their citizenship status. Hoffman’s bill established new election laws to require proof of U.S. citizenship for new voter registrations and mandates that Federal Only Voters cast ballots in person instead of utilizing early voting by mail options. Another provision addresses efforts to verify citizenship for roughly 220,000 of Arizona’s more than 4.3 million currently registered voters. […] The biggest change, according to the lawsuit, is that a county recorder would be prohibited from registering a Federal Form applicant if the recorder cannot verify the person’s citizenship via various databases. Such provisions essentially do away with the Federal Only Voter option, which could run afoul of the 2018 Consent Decree.

Berrien: Obama-Nominated Judge Strikes Down Parts Of Florida’s New Voting Law, Implies They’re Racially Motivated
Siding with the League of Women Voters, which had sued the Florida Secretary of State, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Republican National Committee, a Florida federal judge nominated by former President Barack Obama in 2012 ruled Thursday that some of the state’s new election laws are unconstitutional and implied they are racially motivated. He also ruled that for the next ten years, his court “retains jurisdiction” and the state may “enact no law or regulation governing 3PVROs, drop boxes, or ‘line warming’ activities, as those terms are defined in this Order, without submitting such law or regulation for preclearance.”

DePalo & Cohen: New York judge blocks Democratic-drawn congressional map for ‘political bias’
A New York judge has blocked the state’s new congressional map, which would have given Democrats the advantage in 22 of the state’s 26 congressional seats, from going into effect for violating the state’s constitution. Judge Patrick McAllister ruled Thursday that the map “was unconstitutionally drawn with political bias” by the Democratic-controlled legislature and created no competitive seats. The state legislature has until April 11 to pass a new map and submit it to the court for review, and McAllister further stated that the map had to receive “bipartisan support.”

SCOTUS
O’Connell: IN MY ORBIT: The California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) Gets the SCOTUS Treatment
Founded in 2007, the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) is a trade organization that seeks to fix California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). Why would CABIA or any other California business or franchisee care about this? Because PAGA has been used as a blunt instrument to bludgeon small business, taking countless hours away from the business owner’s management of their company, costing them millions of dollars in attorneys fees, administrative “fixes,” and payouts, and squelching the employer’s ability to hire quality staff and manage their workforce and workforce relations as they see fit.
Most egregiously, PAGA has been used by attorneys to enrich themselves, as they make an end-run around any arbitration agreement between the employee and employer. […] The case of Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana seeks to cut PAGA off at the knees by answering whether the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and any decisions that have supported it can be used to enforce these agreements and prevent an employee from raising representative claims under PAGA. From the OnLabor blog: . . .

War Room: Candidate Harriet Hageman: Liz Cheney Is on Wyoming’s Ballot, Yet Nowhere in the State
Harriet Hageman is running against RINO Rep. Liz Cheney for the lone House seat in Wyoming. She says there’s no doubt that she will retire Cheney, who is really a resident of Virginia and barely sets foot in her supposed “home” state. Cheney is the anti-Trump congressman, not the Wyoming congressman. Her main goal is to make sure Trump isn’t re-elected, not to solve issues for Wyoming.

Powe: George W. Bush Meets With Illegal Aliens After Lobbying Republicans To Work With Joe Biden on Amnesty
Former President George W. Bush met with illegal aliens after spending the past year lobbying Republicans to assist Joe Biden with passing amnesty for migrants who illegally reside in the United States. […] Providing amnesty to migrants who unlawfully enter the United States bolsters the economy, the former Republican president argued. […] Earlier this month, The George W. Bush Institute, the Chamber of Commerce and the billionaire Koch brothers’ network of donor class organizations announced they were joining forces with mass migration groups to form the Alliance for a New Immigration Consensus. […] Meanwhile, an unprecedented number of migrants have flooded across the southern border under the Biden administration.

JANUARY 6
Brown: CNN Debunks Conspiracies About Trump’s January 6th Call Log
The duo of Bob Woodward and Robert Costa magically obtained the records and ran a front page story in The Washington Post that sought to breathe life into a theory that the full record was being withheld or that Trump sought to obscure his calls on January 6th. But it turns out all of that noise was over… nothing — according to CNN. Their story Friday morning announced “Official review of Trump phone logs from January 6 finds record is complete.” While mainstream pundits and Democrats (but I repeat myself) speculated that President Trump was using burner phones or engaged in a cover up, it turns out there was actually nothing out of the ordinary in the White House switchboard call log for January 6th.

Kelly: More Scandals Envelop the Scandalous FBI
You’re in big fucking trouble.” So said an FBI agent to Julian Khater, one of two men accused of assaulting Capitol police officers with pepper spray on January 6, during a tense interrogation last year. Desperate to sustain the falsehood that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by Trump supporters during the Capitol protest, the FBI claimed to possess video footage that showed Khater and his friend, George Tanios, attacking Sicknick and other officers with chemical spray. Khater was arrested on an airplane at the Newark airport on March 14, 2021 after he arrived home from a trip to Florida.
For more than two hours—shackled to a metal bar in a freezing room at the New Jersey FBI field office—Khater, who has no criminal record, was interrogated without a lawyer present. FBI Special Agent Riley Palmertree refused to tell Khater why he was under arrest until he agreed to proceed without counsel in the room, which Khater reluctantly did. Recently released video confirms Khater initially told the agents he “would feel more comfortable if I had a lawyer” answering questions on his behalf. An hour later, Khater again said he wanted his lawyer. But Palmertree pushed back, presenting videos and photos implicating Khater in the alleged assault. Palmertree assured Khater that by admitting he sprayed Sicknick with pepper spray rather than a can of bear spray—an item Palmertree later testified was not used that day—a judge would go easy on him. Khater signed a statement confessing that he attacked officers with pepper spray.

Politico: Former Trump White House advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner appeared before the Jan. 6 panel Thursday. But it’s unclear what was asked.
The committee declined to comment on Kushner’s testimony. His wife, Ivanka Trump, has also been engaging with the select panel over her own potential testimony. “The expectation is that [an interview with Ivanka Trump] will take place but as to when, I can’t tell you right now, but I know we are engaging as a committee,” panel chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) told reporters Wednesday. White House staff had requested Ivanka Trump intervene during the Capitol riot, according to investigators.

THE DEMOCRAT LED UNCONSTITUTIONAL SOUTHERN BORDER INVASION
Caralle: EXCLUSIVE: Republican New Mexico Rep. claims Biden ‘doesn’t seem to be alarmed’ by fears of a huge migrant influx when Title 42 is dropped and ‘underestimates’ Americans’ worries about border security
The representative for the district containing the entirety of New Mexico‘s border with Mexico is pushing for Joe Biden to keep Title 42 in place, claiming the president is out of touch with desires of real Americans and that her state doesn’t have the resources to deal with the impending influx. ‘If they do eliminate Title 42 completely, we may see up to 18,000 people per day coming across the southern border,’ Representative Yvette Herrell told DailyMail.com in a Thursday interview. ‘We don’t have the resources to handle that because we just don’t have enough boots on the ground,’ she added. […] The representative for New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district introduced the Protecting Americans from Unnecessary Spread upon Entry Act (PAUSE) on January 25, 2021 – just days after President Biden was sworn into office. […] Herrell claims that the proposed legislation is a single issue bill that would just keep Title 42 in play. She also insisted that there is nothing hidden in the bill, specifically calling out that it would not require that Donald Trump’s border wall be completed or any other special interest issues in order for the policy to remain in place.[NOTE: 18,000 illegals per day = 540,000 to 558,000 per month.]

Arthur: Biden Administration Finalizes Plan to Rubber-Stamp Asylum Grants
Hiding the border disaster by turning ‘illegal aliens’ into ‘asylum seekers’ with the stroke of a pen […] On March 24, DHS and DOJ announced that they would be taking the authority to adjudicate asylum claims made by illegal aliens apprehended at the border away from immigration judges (IJs) and giving it to asylum officers (AOs), all in the interest of making the asylum process “more efficient” and to “ensure fairness”. Don’t believe them. This is a plan to rubberstamp asylum grants and hide the disaster at the Southwest border by turning “illegal aliens” into “asylum seekers” with the stroke of a pen. None of this is “news”, per se, as the administration has been signaling this change since last April. As Andrew Arthur explained then: On April 1, NPR reported that the Biden administration is considering overhauling the asylum process for arriving aliens (including illegal migrants) at the border, along the lines of a September 2018 proposal from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI). It is a bad plan, which would do little if anything to discourage illegal entrants, instead giving them two “bites” at the asylum “apple” and delaying their removals. DHS and DOJ published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) along these lines in late August, and many submitted comments explaining the statutory and practical issues with this proposal (the departments received about 5,000 such comments in response to that August notice). Among those who filed comments was the Center. Our 83-page response explained in detail how this proposal violates the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the Homeland Security Act of 2002, and several other provisions of law. Not to mention that the NPRM is bad policy even if it were legal. As significantly, however, the Center explained that allowing AOs to grant asylum to illegal aliens (which will place them on a path to citizenship) instead of IJs would remove several crucial safeguards put in place to ensure that asylum grants are not subject to fraud and abuse.

FAUCI’S VIRUS: IT’S POLITICAL
Hinderaker: HOW CDC COLLUDED WITH TEACHERS’ UNIONS TO DEVASTATE AMERICA’S CHILDREN
Perhaps the most damaging of all “anti-covid” measures over the last two years were the public school closures. Children fell behind academically and socially, and multiple studies have documented serious mental health issues in a large number of children. Meanwhile, the data indisputably showed that schools were not a significant source of covid transmission, and covid is virtually harmless to children. How did this public policy disaster come about? A just-released report by Republicans on the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis suggests that the cause was inappropriate and perhaps unprecedented influence on the Centers for Disease Control exerted by the teachers’ unions, specifically the American Federation for Teachers. Sworn testimony by Dr. Henry Walke, a career CDC scientist, indicated that CDC largely gave editorial control over its “guidance” on public school re-openings to AFT.

BIDEN’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL VACCINE MANDATE
(3/31/22 update) War Room: ‘An Experiment On Millions Of People’: Naomi Wolf On Covid Vaccine Data
Author Naomi Wolf, whose dailyclout.io website has spearheaded a deep dive into the Pfizer documents released to the public recently, makes some huge revelations about what’s hidden in the thousands of pages. Among the discoveries was evidence that there was always a plan for as many as six vaccinations to achieve immunity. In addition, there is lots of new data about the risks of the shots, much of which was never revealed. Wolf says anyone who took the shot was an unwitting victim of experimental medicine, which makes it a crime.

Tulshinski: What can I do to eliminate mRNA vaccines from my body? – ‘Nothing’; Dr. Malone finds dangerous mRNA modification
What if I already got the jab? I get asked all the time “what can I do to eliminate the RNA vaccines from my body”, to which I have to answer – nothing. There is no technology that I know of which can eliminate these synthetic “mRNA-like” molecules from your body. The same is true for any of the many “gene therapy” methods currently being used. You just have to hope that your immune system will attack the cells that have taken up the polynucleotides and degrade (chew up) the offending large molecule that causes your cells to manufacture the toxic protein. Targeting damaged cells would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Since virtually all current “gene therapy” methods are inefficient, and essentially deliver the genetic material randomly to a small subset of cells, there is no practical way to surgically remove the scattered, relatively rare transgenic cells. Clearance of genetically modified cells by the cellular immune system (T cells) is the only currently viable method to remove cells that have taken up the foreign genetic information (“transfection” in the case of mRNA or DNA, or “transduction” in the case of a viral vectored gene). Good news – Pfizer may injure its customers, but it still can’t play God with them
The good news in Dr. Malone’s report is that we don’t need to worry about our DNA being changed by the vaccines.

Gortler: Vaccine Malpractice
Government pharmacists, physicians, and nurses have violated their oaths and obligations to protect patient safety. Adverse cardiovascular, thrombotic, and neurologic events related to the Covid vaccine have occurred around the world. As I and others have noted before, the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) own vaccine adverse event tracking system (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS) shows substantial and serious risks from the vaccine, even though the FDA only collects an estimated 10 percent of all adverse events. Still, federal agencies and manufacturers aren’t officially warning American public about these risks, despite having known this information for almost a whole year. The narrative that receiving vaccines and boosters, possibly forever, is a patriotic duty has superseded the traditional and normal standards of public health and safety. It’s clear today there are both safety and efficacy problems with vaccines and boosters. All of the FDA’s 18,000-plus employees have access to the same drug safety data we have, which raises important concerns about the agency’s failure to act in the more than 14 months since the first adverse events were reported.

THE DEMOCRAT LED WAR ON CHILDREN
Rufo: DISNEY’S CHILD-PREDATOR PROBLEM
The Walt Disney Company has long presented itself as the voice for America’s children. According to company lore, the animation studio was founded by a wise and kindly father figure, and its theme parks are “the happiest place on Earth” for kids. In recent weeks, the company has entered the political debate about Florida’s Parental Rights in Education legislation and sought to establish itself as a moral arbiter on children’s education and sexuality.But behind its meticulously curated self-image, Disney has had a long-standing problem with child predators gaining employment within the company and exploiting minors. In 2014, reporters at CNN published a bombshell six-month investigation that discovered at least 35 Disney employees had been arrested for sex crimes against children, attempting to meet minors for sex, and possession of child pornography over the previous eight years. The stories are horrifying. In one case, police set up a sting operation that nabbed three Disney employees who believed they were soliciting sex from minors. Robert Kingsolver, who oversaw ride repairs at Disney World, enticed someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl for sex in a private residence. Joel Torres, another Disney employee, allegedly brought condoms with him to have sex with a 14-year-old child. And Allen Treaster, a concierge at the park’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, went to meet a 14-year-old boy to “fulfill a fantasy” of being a “Big Teddy Bear for younger chaser.” In all three cases, the men were met and then arrested by police, who had set up the trap to catch child predators in the Orlando region. Kingsolver denied the charges; Treaster admitted that he had molested a 15-year-old boy a few weeks prior to his arrest. Other Disney employees were found to have committed child sex crimes using the Internet. According to police and court records, . .
[…] Disney has claimed to have “extensive measures in place” to provide a safe environment for children, but there are reasons to doubt it. Even after the CNN report, Disney has seen a steady stream of employees caught in the dragnet for child predators. In 2019, . . .[…] Even worse, despite its crystal-clean image, Disney has come under fire for failing to report abuse. In 2014, . . .

O’Connor: Betrayed By the Magic Kingdom
I grew up with The Wonderful World of Disney. Every Sunday night at 7 PM (while the boring grown-ups watched “60 Minutes”), I could watch a Disney show.
And I was totally unsupervised. My parents didn’t need to sit in the room with me to ensure that the programming was appropriate for a four or five-year-old. My parents trusted Disney. They trusted that Disney would stay true to its promise to protect the innocence of children or never violate the sacred domain that a parent holds over their children’s education and moral direction. Disney was supposed to be the last remaining place (virtually and literally) where fundamental norms were reinforced or, at the very least, they would not be infringed or completely undermined. Those days are, apparently, over.
Now, I’m not naive. I know that we’ve experienced the proverbial “boiling frog” syndrome when it comes to Disney and the “slow creep” of subversive content over the last several decades. But this week, the “House that Walt Built” has crossed a Rubicon, of sorts that may tarnish the formidable brand forever.
[…] If Disney doesn’t reverse course and do some serious damage control, this will soon be seen as one of the most disastrous brand disintegrations in American corporate history. The folks who gave you “New Coke” are chuckling to themselves right now.

BIDEN/HARRIS/OBAMA REGIME: TRANSFORMING AMERICA
Nobel: Biden is Undermining Dollar Hegemony
Not long ago, I was talking about recent financial events related to an article I penned in The Prickly Pear with a small gathering of people, who are generally quite knowledgeable about money. A few got completely lost when discussing the dollar and its “reserve status”. It seems when one starts talking about the Bretton-Woods treaty and the “petrodollar”, eyes just want to glaze over. It just seems too arcane for most of us. That is too bad because it really is important. I used an example to try to convey the importance, and while imperfect, it seemed to turn the lights on in the mind of some of my audience. Like all examples, it cannot get into granular detail or it won’t be understood by most people. We will take the risk that we mistreat some of the complexity to be understood. I explained: what if my neighbor was given a special license that allowed him to counterfeit his own money legally, and that he (the neighbor) could use this special money to pay all of his debts and also could use this money to purchase fuel for his car and home? This privileged neighbor could own multiple homes and properties because he could print money to pay his mortgage payments. He could own all the cars he might want because he could print the money for car payments and also print the money to buy fuel.

Sibarium: The Takeover of America’s Legal System
The kids didn’t grow out of it. If you are a Common Sense reader, you are by now highly aware of the phenomenon of institutional capture. From the start, we have covered the ongoing saga of how America’s most important institutions have been transformed by an illiberal ideology—and have come to betray their own missions.Medicine. Hollywood. Education. The reason we exist is because of the takeover of newspapers like The New York Times. Ok, so we’ve lost a lot. A whole lot. But at least we haven’t lost the law. That’s how we comforted ourselves. The law would be the bulwark against this nonsense. The rest we could work on building anew. But what if the country’s legal system was changing just like everything else? […] The adversarial legal system—in which both sides of a dispute are represented vigorously by attorneys with a vested interest in winning—is at the heart of the American constitutional order. Since time immemorial, law schools have tried to prepare their students to take part in that system. Not so much anymore. Now, the politicization and tribalism of campus life have crowded out old-fashioned expectations about justice and neutrality. The imperatives of race, gender and identity are more important to more and more law students than due process, the presumption of innocence, and all the norms and values at the foundation of what we think of as the rule of law.
