Of course they did. Tyrants don’t cede power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand, and besides, it’s not their money.
It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term ‘Hostile Invader’ Is
ANCHOR BABIES AWAY: SCOTUS can Fix Illegal Immigration [Watch]
I’d love for this to be the correct interpretation. I fear that the argument will be made that it doesn’t apply because the incursion is not military in nature, and will thus be narrowly defined, like “treason,” to require a beligerrent enemy with whom we are at war.

Cui bono?

Thune, Cornyn, and Scott are all part of the Swamp. How is it they’re the only ones up for vote consideration?

The clerk said this happened a few times, and the man kept fumbling around with his gun in his pants, until it went off and he shot himself in the butt. [More]
Naturally, he’s someone proven to the system who can’t be trusted with a gun out with a stolen one.

Arizona, Take Off Your Rainbow Shades
Kari Lake’s Senate race and some House races are still not counted. This is outrageous since nearly every other state is done counting. Here is what you can do: Check your ballot status!
