This SCOTUS decision leaves DOGE closed to transparency, while it works and accesses US Social Security data, and while the actual case against that access winds through the courts. This is upsetting many Dems, who seem to have no problem with the US government accessing our medical data, the IRS accessing our financial data, and more. LINK!

I got to discuss this on my streaming program Friday night. Not only is this not a win for religious freedom, it again serves to blind people to what the US Constitution — particularly the First Amendment — actually says and what is left to the states.
Under the First Amendment, if a state government wanted to tax religious institutions, the can do so if the state constitution allows such a penury of ethics and allows such theft. The key is the state constitution, not the federal one. As much as I hate taxation and I want free speech and freedom of religion, I try to remind supporters of the US Constitution and the federalism it purportedly supports that this is a state issue.
The Supreme Court hasn't always been kind to religious groups this term, but a unanimous ruling handed down Thursday is a different story. In an unqualified triumph, the Catholic Charities Bureau ...

The California dems did what many worried they would. They prevented the pullback of the massive LCFS mandate package of "new mix" and "production improvement requirements" tied to their "climate change" goals. Utterly arbitrary, the new requirements will push up prices by at least another 65 cents per gallon, over and above what the state and feds already add due to taxes and mandates.

HEY! Here's another flip and utterly wild idea... How about the Post Millennial — a supposedly, purportedly "small government, conservative" publication actually question the larger matter of SBA loans in the first place? Why do so many people overlook fascism, ie. Government-business symbiosis? How about the people in the federal government do the same?

PJ Media has this interesting and angering piece, based on a report from NewsNation. It focuses on the Biden Admin's mismanagement of the East Palestine train disaster, the so-called "controlled burn" and the toxicity problem there. Of course, the very idea that the feds should oversee rail operations leads to a "safety" protocol that no one actually can say is managed properly, because no one in the government system is operating of his own accord in a voluntary system. The taxpayers and neighbors near the rails are forced to deal with what the government officials define as "management", and the important factors of real liability and real market insurance rates to handle potential tort problems are subsumed beneath government "standards" — to which rail operators usually will just barely reach, rather then going much higher on the safety scale. The feds also collectivize the routes such that the place things on the rails that might, in a private market, be on a completely different system, differentiating human travel lines from dangerous freight. Here is the first part of the info.

The TSA is toweringly unconstitutional. It breaches the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments as a matter of its daily operation, the DHS also is an unconstitutional national police force that has no jurisdiction to enter any state without invitation by the state governments. The Quiet Skies program definitely WAS accused of abuse and did not stop terrorists. But the TSA already admitted in a fight with the government of Texas years ago that they were engaged in "security theatre." !

This is sad. Social Security already is a Ponzi scheme, and all of them are unconstitutional and immoral. One need not focus on rigged SCOTUS decisions to read the US Constitution. People might say that Trump is in a no-win situation, but he swore an oath to the Constitution.
“We did speak about that. We’re really talking about waste, fraud, and abuse,” Trump said in the sky-set press gaggle. “And Sen. [Josh] Hawley is a great senator, good guy, and I did speak to him,” Trump added.

Rubio and Trump are "sanctioning" ICC judges. Here is what I wrote about it Friday on Substack:
On June 5, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions against four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges—Solomy Balungi Bossa, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou, and Beti Hohler—for their roles in issuing arrest warrants for Israeli officials, including Benjamin Netanyahu, and investigating alleged U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan. The sanctions freeze U.S. assets and restrict financial transactions, escalating tensions with the ICC, which condemned the move as an attack on judicial independence. The U.S. helped establish the ICC in 1998 but never ratified the Rome Statute, remaining a non-member alongside Israel, China, and Russia.
Critically, the U.S. Constitution requires a formal declaration of war by Congress for actions like sanctions, which act as economic warfare. No such declaration exists in 2025, rendering Rubio’s sanctions constitutionally offensive, as they bypass Congress’s authority. The ICC, supported by 125 nations, investigates war crimes globally, but the U.S. rejects its jurisdiction, especially over American and allied personnel. Rubio’s actions, backed by Trump, reflect a broader feud with international bodies, drawing criticism from the EU and UN for undermining global justice.!
