Random thought

I'm not sure that Congress should even have the power to impeach a President

And that the power should be limited to impeaching federal judges not on the Supreme Court
The impeachment power has allowed the House - alone - to force the Senate to sit through a nonsense trial and hold everyone hostage for three years

Unclear that it should continue to exist
In our new, hyper-partisan world, there will be immense pressure WHENEVER the House is held by a different party than the President to push for impeachment proceedings

Better for the country that those energies be directed towards winning the next election

I like allies who win their wars

Israelis take American aid and use it to kill the terrorists that murdered our Marines in Beirut

Ukrainians take American aid and embezzle it to buy yachts and London real estate
Like objectively - is there a more obvious national interest than in seeing terrorists on our own most wanted list for murdering our Marines killed?

That’s America First.
The objection to the neocons was always the idiotic regime change wars to install democracies. Those are dumb and do not serve our interest.

But Israel is just straight up cooking Hezbollah and you’re mad about a few civilian casualties? That’s just simping for terrorists

A white pill:

The stolen valor revelations put the Harris/Walz campaign in an untenable position.

Team Harris delayed doing any interviews/press conferences because they wanted to get their ducks in a row on the VP front and the policy front. But now they *can’t* do interviews or press conferences because Walz’ stolen valor is indefensible. Walz can’t defend his lies, and Harris can’t defend selecting him.

So they are going to have to keep the campaign running on the high of Dem relief at Biden being replaced. But the election is three months away. Media frustration will grow, coverage will get less rosy, pressure on both Harris and Walz will increase.

I’d be long Trump.
Understand too that this is the downside for Dems of Harris coming in as the nominee at the last minute.

A Presidential candidate would normally have a year and a half to build a policy platform out - with brainstorming, talking to stakeholders, revisions, approvals, and all that entails. Team Harris has to do that in about four weeks.

Trump had six months to do VP vetting after effectively securing the nomination. Harris had two weeks.

So you have a campaign that wasn’t ready to do interviews or press conferences and one that couldn’t do thorough, considered VP vetting. This is the result.
Biden was losing, badly. Harris wouldn’t want to just run on “we’re going to keep doing what Joe did.” She also has the baggage of all her 2020 statements.

I guarantee you that the campaign policy shop has been burning the midnight oil.

Really simple, underdiscussed reason why Kamala Harris shouldn’t be President

No children
And no, becoming a step-parent to older teenagers doesn’t count
The concerns of parents and families will always be abstract to her

You might have missed it, but Florida won a solid victory for election integrity yesterday in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals

The left tried to strike down Florida's election integrity law, SB 90

They already lost on appeal, and now rehearing en banc has been denied Image
Just to quickly explain:

When a case is first appealed to a federal circuit court, it is heard by a three-judge panel

The party that loses that appeal can ask the entire circuit court to rehear the case "en banc," with all active judges on the circuit presiding
So that's what happened here

A district court judge struck down SB 90 last year

Earlier this year, the 11th circuit reversed

Yesterday, rehearing en banc was denied, with a cutting opinion from Judge Pryor that will help other states defend their election integrity laws Image

Earlier today we highlighted some individual prosecution decisions made by the now-suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell.

Now, let’s take a broader look at @GovRonDeSantis’ executive order to see how Worrell was derelict in her duty.

We’ll start with gun crime.
Florida has mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office referred 58 non-homicide Robbery with a Firearm cases to Worrell’s office in 2021 and 2022.

As of May 2023, only one mandatory minimum sentence had been imposed in any of those cases. Image
That Sheriff’s office also referred 11 non-homicide Carjacking with a Firearm cases and 14 non-homicide Home Invasion Robbery with a Firearm cases during that period.

Out of those arrests, only one resulted in a mandatory minimum sentence being imposed.

Today, @GovRonDeSantis suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell for dereliction of duty and incompetence.

Here are some examples of her policies or practices in action.
Daton Viel was arrested in March 2023 for sexual battery on a minor, as well as Lewd and Lascivious Molestation.

That arrest was made while Viel was on probation for another offense. Viel was still let out on bond.

This past weekend, Viel shot two Orlando Police Officers. Image
In November 2022, 17-year-old Lorenzo Larry shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend, De’Shayla Ferguson.

Larry had previously been arrested in May 2022 for carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm on school property, and criminal possession of a firearm by a minor. Image
