Roughly a week after criticizing NewsGuard in a column, I received notice that the company was now reviewing my blog, Res Ipsa. The questions sent by NewsGuard were alarming, but not surprising. Here is my response... thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
...For any site criticizing the media or the Biden administration, the most chilling words today are “I’m from NewsGuard and I am here to rate you.” The rating of sites is arguably the most effective way of silencing or marginalizing opposing views...
...I was first asked for information on the financial or revenue sources used to support my blog. Given NewsGuard’s reputation of targeting the revenue of sites, the email would ordinarily trigger panic. But I pay not to have advertising, and the closest I come to financial support would be my wife, since we live in a community property state. If NewsGuard wants to blacklist me with my wife, it is a bit late. Trust me, she knows.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer declared that Mahmoud Khalil should be released "if the administration cannot prove he has violated any criminal law." He is mistaken on the standard...facebook.com/senschumer/pos…
...We still do not know what the evidence against Khalil will show on any nexus to Hamas or the Columbia occupation. However, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(4)(C) does not require a criminal act. The standard only requires the Sec. Rubio find "reasonable ground to believe" that he could present a "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is deportable"...
...That is a generous standard that invites a heavy degree of deference from the courts. If Khalil helped organize the occupation that led to property damage, it is conduct that could satisfy the standard. Once again, there are clearly weighty free speech issues in such cases...

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Cal.) gave Shannon Bream one of the most convoluted and conflicted explanations for voting against the Green censure because "he did not engage in violence . . . and I ultimately a supporter of free speech. . . and he had a free speech right."...
...Is that now the standard? You can disrupt joint sessions so long as you do not physically assault the president or others. That would be a crime that is already covered by the criminal code. Censure is about ethical conduct...
...The suggestion that Green had a protected "right of free speech" is ridiculous. Just as the deplatforming speakers in higher education is not protected, it is certainly not a right on the house floor. Green has an unfettered right outside of session...jonathanturley.org/2025/03/07/we-…

Green was censured, but only 9 Democrats joined in the motion. The Democrats then refused to clear the well and disrupted Speaker Johnson's efforts to complete the censure process. The sound you heard was the Democratic party hitting rock bottom in this disgraceful display...
Faced with the first member to be expelled during a joint session address, the Democrats followed a censure over his disruption by disrupting the business of the House. Johnson showed admirable restraint and put the house into recess...
...With this vote and the subsequent protest in the well, the party has cut itself adrift from any principle of decorum or civility. It turns out that only 8 Democrats voted for the motion. Two voted present. Green said he would do it again and the rest of the party supported him

The 1st Circuit just held that parents have no right to know about their 11-year-old changing gender in school. This "unwritten policy" was viewed as overriding parental rights. The decision is defended as a reflection of our "pluralistic society"...ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/file…
...The court wrote: "our pluralistic society assigns those curricular and administrative decisions to the expertise of school officials, charged with the responsibility of educating children." There is no more cherished right that citizens possess than raising their children...
...Indeed, the right to raise one's children according to your own faith and values is the touchstone of freedom. Conversely, the subordination of such rights is the harbinger of state tyranny...

I am a bit confused. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy just bragged that he has an undocumented person living above his garage, adding "good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.” How exactly is that good for this person to be staked out like political game to make a point?...
...If Murphy wanted to help this person, why would have parade her location and position in an interview to thrill his base? There is something in Matthew 6:3 that might be usual for Murphy...
...It is also unclear what Murphy is suggesting that he would do if ICE were to attempt to bring the person into custody. ICE is focusing on criminal aliens in the current enforcement push and there is no reason to believe that this person would be on that list...

Kash Patel is giving his opening statement. This is clearly going to be a rough hearing. Nevertheless, his life's story as the child of Indian immigrants speaks to the American dream and values. Notably, he served as a public defender, a rare credential to head the FBI.
...This has the feeling of the second confirmation hearing for Patel. The Democrats converted the Bondi hearing into a litany of attacks on Patel. This is likely to devolve quickly into name-calling and "are you or have you ever been a member of QAnon" confrontations...
...Interesting exchange with Durbin. Patel just said that he does not agree with the pardons extended to those who committed violence against law enforcement officers...
