And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

JOHN 6:1-15

1After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber’i-as. 2And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased. 3Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples. 4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, “How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” 8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?” 10Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost.” 13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten. 14When the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world!” 15Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

SATIRE!

Thank you, Sleeping Beauty De Pat, for an entire eventful week of glorious posts!

Oh, and I thought I’d try something a little different….

A little botanical garden (in a very nice spot) —

And more flowers than you can shake a stick at…..but all being dug up and sold.

cthulhu

The San Diego Zoo is a far more impressive Botanic Garden than the San Diego Botanic Garden, but the labels are all on the animals.

Hiya Barb. How’s the house buying/selling going ?

Barb Meier

Hi Molly, thanks for asking! Not sure what I’ve shared, so will hit the high points. Sorry there’s so much. hehe

I had two different showings scheduled for the weekend we had the big fires on the mountains of Virginia. One client came from the city and got stopped at the blockade at the bottom of the mountain. So glad I had warned them. My realtor has reached out to both but neither has gotten back to her.

Once people started seeing photos, I think it was a bit overwhelming. In the photo below, my place is about halfway down from the dark dip near the middle. That’s where Hwy 211 goes over the mountain. My power was out for hours because my electric is tied to the lines that feed what they call Sundance, mountain cabins up there and they were evacuated.

I was not but did get kitties in crates and drive downtown for awhile Saturday night and then stayed in my driveway until 2am. The rain started lightly at midnight. God was so good. They had just evacuated the Sundance neighborhood, my power was out, and I worried about waiting too long to get kitties safely in crates for any possible evacuation. The electric was back on by 11am Sunday morning. All the guys were wonderful (firefighters, Shentel phone/DSL Internet, Dominion Power, and all the LEOs).

I’ve been focusing on cleaning and packing both what goes home with me and also more that the auction house can have. I have felt a little slower than I would like, but well. I just take it a day at a time. 3,500 square feet of home had a lot of stuff and it’s just me.

This week, the power washing guys came on Wednesday and cleaned the deck floors that surround 3.5 sides of my house. I had no idea they could do so much and I wasn’t sure my well could provide enough pressure so did not try to do that on my own. It looks great! I’ve gotten all but two pot racks off the kitchen walls and will repaint the kitchen next week.

It’s been years since I last painted. While I was able to clean the walls fairly well, some stain remains from cooking and the gas heat stove. I should be able to turn off the heat stove on Sunday but it keeps the old part of the house warmer in winter so I’ve waited.

I scan through the counties near my family in Missouri to see what’s available but will wait to get serious until I close here.

Last night, we got 2.5 inches of rain. That’s a lot for the mountain to get so quickly. There were leaves in the ditch just up the mountain from my driveway that got blocked so the water was going across the highway, as it has done sometimes over the years. Not sure if someone hydroplaned but I woke up to an accident on the highway in the first of three curves at the bottom of my front yard. A car going down the mountain went off the road, down into a ditch across from my yard, turned on its side, and caught fire.

I saw someone with a yellow laborador dog get into the side door of an ambulance, so I’m hoping the driver and any passengers were not too badly hurt. I was sad that I had not gotten the leaves up and out of the ditch near my driveway, but the rain came when we were sleeping so I didn’t know it was blocked. VDOT sent two guys after the accident was all cleared and they cleaned out the ditch. There’s forest all around, so lots of leaves in the fall and when we have big winds.

I am just focusing on getting this place as good as possible for showings and know some intrepid souls will love this place the way I do and decide to take it on.

I also got a new microwave installed and had to learn which tool to use for drilling a 2-inch hole near the existing 1-inch hole for the power plug to fit down to the outlet. The dremel just bounced around so Brian at Lowes (a tools guy) helped me get a round hole drill bit that worked with my cheapie Black & Decker drill. He also explained to not push but let the tool do the work. So helpful.

The ground prong was just slightly longer so it still wouldn’t quite fit through the 2-inch hole. I then used a keyhole saw to cut a rectangle between the 1-inch and 2-inch holes. Someone innocent might think I knew what I was doing. LOL I was thrilled when the plug slid right through after dinking around with it for far too long. I haven’t done much woodworking stuff before but I learned a lot.

I figure all this is in God’s hands and I just do what I can each day. The auction house took 4 trailer loads of stuff and sold it. I should get the check for that in a couple of weeks or less. I need to repaint the kitchen and all the deck rails. I don’t know any pro painters to come do those things but I’ve done it before and will do my best.

I think that will help a lot. Plus my landscaper yard man will come start mowing, mulching and replacing a little shrub that died. I also want my tree guy to take out the large oak in the front that finally died from something that passed through the area and killed trees here and there. The oak is very large and over the years had limbs come down from high winds and get bumped by cars going off the highway and onto my front yard. I added a 70-foot long shrub bed to help people see how deep the curve is ahead as they are coming down the mountain. It has helped a lot.

Next, my realtor will have the pro photographer come and take new photos, we’ll drop the price a little and that will push it back to the top of the listings.

Oh and they also power washed the west side of the house that had green so the siding looks good again.

scott467

Barb, it sounds like you’re making great progress! 👍

Barb Meier

Thanks for your encouragement Scott!! I did buy three steaks and fixed one last Sunday. Froze the other two. Want to have one each week to boost my energy levels with beef protein. I had to unpack one of my iron skillets and I loved how the first one turned out by searing both sides and then baking to the desired doneness. I gave my Weber kettle to the auction house. LOL

scott467

I pan fry steaks during the winter too, they turn out nice and rare, seared on both sides 👍😁

Valerie Curren

Boy have you got your hands full. What a wonderful, comprehensive update–TY. I trust the Lord will open the right doors for buyers & homes for you to consider closer to your family. Enjoy the journey! Blessings  😇 

scott467

Me too, I like all dogs, but Goldens and Labs are my favorites. Big friendly dogs that just want to love and be loved.

My grandparents had a Golden Retriever puppy when I was about 2 or 3 years old, so we sort of grew up together. He grew faster 😂

Great dogs to have around small children. I used to climb onto him like he was a horse — because I was a cowboy, naturally — and he put up with it, without complaint. He just wanted to play, same as me 😁

Valerie Curren

Our German Shepherd, female, was like that when our kids were little. Now our 1/2 husky, female, is like that w/ the grandkids. I don’t know if it’s that they are female & therefore more tolerant of little ones, or that they were/are just Great Dogs! Our German Shepherd was from a line of police dogs so she was Super Protective of the family, or anyone in the hunting camp, whenever they all settled in, but strangers would get the bark of death–& our current dog is very similar.  🤗 

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Dogs seem to understand the little ones are manpups and seem to tolerate behavior from them they wouldn’t take from an adult.

Valerie Curren

Yes, though I’ve heard of dogs that nip at the little ones too. Our dog gets jealous “sharing” her chew toys w/ the one year old, whose mom has taken to letting her build up her immune system w/ the “eat a pint of dirt by age two” school of thought  🙃 

scott467

Driving with Mom 😂

Valerie Curren

Not exactly the same but a couple years back my daughter was driving her pickup on the highway & a guy pulls alongside, gestures for her to roll down the window, & tries to get her phone number. She holds up her left hand w/ an engagement ring & he moves along

pgroup2

She should have gotten HIS number.

And told him she’d call when there’s an opening.  😂

Mike Johnson and Donald Trump to promote bill to prevent non-citizens from voting
WASHINGTON – House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will promote a bill with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting.
Johnson will hold a joint press conference with Trump on Friday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence, where the top House Republican will tout the legislation to “elevate the issue of non-citizens voting in federal elections,” according to a person familiar with the planning.
The event is also an effort to rally Republican lawmakers to “get on the team,” on the issue of election security, the person said.

Former Obama Aide: Joe Biden Should Be in Prison
Excerpt:
McCormick became aware of the criminal nature of the activity after poring over the emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which allowed him to put it all together. “When I worked for him, I thought Joe was harmless — egotistical, buffoonish, and unpresidential, but harmless,” he said. “Now I think of him as an evil criminal who should be impeached and imprisoned.” McCormick served as Biden’s stenographer when he was vice president from 2011 to 2017, transcribing every speech and interview.
He said he personally witnessed Biden negotiate the Burisma kickback scheme — U.S. funding to Ukrainian energy, primarily Burisma, in exchange for putting Hunter Biden on Burisma’s board of directors — on a trip to Poland in 2014. He came to a lot of conclusions that other reporters haven’t figured out, due to his unique position and intensive study of this issue.

STUNNING article by the redoubtable Walter M Chesnut on 8 April on this topic:

https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/the-transposon-theory-of-aging-and
“The Transposon Theory of Aging and SARS-CoV-2”
Walter M Chesnut
Yours Truly: Mr. Chesnut, IMO, is really on to something here. He posits (with scientific papers to back it up), that the COVID-19 virus itself (via the spike protein) activates certain elements in the body of an infected person that accelerate the aging process. And that the SAME process can occur in HEALTHY persons who are exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This process of accelerated aging is called TE activation (Transposable Elements activation.)
In essence, the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself contains elements that “cut and paste” a person’s genes, “writing them back wrong” into the person’s DNA.
It appears that the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself has elements that were lab-inserted into it that “re-activate” certain TE’s that run back millions of years in human history.
It also appears that ANY exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (including from “shedding” of the virus AND including “shedding” of said virus onto healthy persons) can activate TE activation.

Yours Truly again: The COVID-19 “vaccines” (including the “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccines”) contain the elements of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 lab-created virus. It is already known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” damage / destroy the ability of cells, down to the mitochondrial level, to breathe, thus killing these cells off. This cell death is part of the accelerated aging process induced by these “vaccines.”

The lab-created biological weapon of the COVID-19 virus itself, AND the lab-created-and-enhanced biological weapon of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, BOTH contribute to accelerated aging in the human body — and to all the issues that come from aging. (Side note: notice how “older” certain “vaccinated” family and friends look? — there’s a reason for that.)

*** It is imperative that ALL persons (“vaccinated” and “unvaccinated”) follow a program of doing whatever is necessary to keep and maintain the BEST natural immune system possible. And to follow such a program INDEFINITELY.

*** It pains Yours Truly to say this, but will now posit that ALL persons need to consider themselves to have been exposed to “shedding” of the COVID-19 spike protein, and that this spike protein is at work inside the body. For “unvaccinated” persons, this means “stealth COVID-19 “vaccination” without consent.” The question in this regard is: On what magnitude of increase and longevity of action of the spike protein is going on within “vaccinated” persons?

Yours Truly wrote about these things on this board:

What I’d like to see is a study on whether Keytruda [and similar cancer treatment drugs] in the process of ‘training’ the immune system to recognize cancer, also causes the immune system to be effective against covid and covid ‘vaccine’ effects.

I have a personal interest in this possibility, as regulars here will remember.

IMO, you may be on to something.

scott467

If true, then Fauxi and everyone else who is part of the inner circle are certainly aware and have an antidote or preventative of some kind.

If only there was some way to make them talk.

But we live in a world were one Mengele can smirk and commit global genocide and dare anyone to do anything about it, and 8 billion people just cower and take it.

Yours Truly agrees that the “inner circle” knew/know that that there were/are COVID-19 preventatives and antidotes — starting with Ivermectin and HCQ.

When Tucker talked with Naomi (link above at X

and at TuckerCarlson.com), they discussed how people who bought into the jab lies cannot seem to hear (or listen) even when you talk to them in person. I watched at Tucker’s site and it is an hour long. Sometimes, X is shorter than his own site.

Naomi talked about her posts on Substack where she’s discussing her reading of the Geneva Bible. She can read Hebrew and is Jewish. Naomi said that God is described very differently in the Geneva Bible than the KJV.

She posted several times this evening and I’m not sure if those posts directly relate to this subject, but it gets you to her Substack. https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/1560-geneva-bible-exodus-5-6

scott467

Fire Dept. confirms?

Why were they not shouting it from the rooftops?

Why did they wait for 3+ years, until someone finally asked them, “Hey, you guys notice any rise in heart attack or strokes since the vaxx was rolled out?”

Barb Meier

Why did it take Kurt Schlichter over two years to get serious about how great Trump was at leading our nation and how deadly it has been having Biden installed?

scott467

Exactly.

The best reason I come up with is because he’s controlled opposition.

Just like all of Townhall.com

Like Fraud News, their job is to tell the Conservative masses what is ‘acceptable’ conservative thought.

Barb Meier

Perhaps they may want to get on the inside with Trump and sabbotage his next term like so many did before.

probably won’t pass, but at least they’re trying and can get those who vote against on record.
FTA
Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) is introducing legislation to prevent President Joe Biden from allowing migrants at the United States-Mexico border to bypass Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules while flying throughout the country.
Green, who serves as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, issued the “Verifying that All Illegal Aliens Have Legitimate Documents Act” — also referred to as the VALID Act — on Thursday.
“Having legal identification to board a flight in the United States is a no-brainer, but not for the Biden administration,” Green said in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News. “My VALID Act is critical for protecting our national security.”
Those cosponsoring the bill are:

Reps. Michael McCaul (R-TX), Michael Guest (R-MS), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Dan Bishop (R-NC), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Morgan Luttrell (R-TX), Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), Jake Ellzey (R-TX), Dale Strong (R-AL), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Troy Nehls (R-TX), Bob Good (R-VA), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Bill Posey (R-FL), Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Randy Weber (R-TX), Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), Jefferson Van Drew (R-NJ), Scott Perry (R-PA), John Rose (R-TN), and Rick Crawford (R-AR).

Under the Biden administration, migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border can use DHS documents as their official identification (ID) to present to TSA agents at airports.
For example, a migrant who recently crossed the border can use arrest warrants, deportation orders, Notices to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, and federal custody booking records as their ID at TSA. Meanwhile, Americans are required to present official government IDs to pass through TSA agents at airports.
The Biden administration is also allowing migrants to use their applications with the “CBP One” mobile app to be used as ID at TSA checkpoints. The CBP One app, as Breitbart News has chronicled, has allowed more than half a million migrants to schedule appointments at the border and subsequently be released into the U.S. interior.
Green’s bill would halt the practice altogether.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Nice pair of stories showing how liberal enclave Denver is contorting their city to pay for the onslaught of invaders in their midsts.

Since they are doing such a good job, and Denver, the Mile High City a name that has taken on a new significance, and since too the invaders still stream across the border, perhaps more invaders can be enticed to settle there since they’d barely notice, the city being so high in the sky!

Three Supreme Court rulings issued today; 2 remanded back to the lower court (one on arbitration, the other on the duty to disclose information that may affect investors) the other a clear victory for private property rights (Scheetz vs El Dorado County) saying that the burden imposed by local municipalities or other governments (a county was imposing a $23,000+ fee for roads before giving a couple the building permit they actually applied for) was a taking.
all three unanimous.
Here’s a link to the page that has the rulings:

Trump-Hating Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe FINALLY Comes Clean After Years of Lying – Says Carter Page FISA Application to Spy on Trump Was “Wrong” and a “Mistake” (VIDEO)

Trump-Hating former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe joined CNN’s Jim Acosta on Wednesday to defend FISA secret spying on American citizens.

McCabe finally admitted that the Carter Page FISA application used by the deep state to spy on Trump and his administration in an attempt to bring him down was a mistake.

CNN hack reporter Jim Acosta was not expecting this.

“Jim Acosta: Back to Trump’s post on Truth Social, Andrew. He’s calling on House Republicans to block reauthorizing it (FISA), saying, “Kill FISA. It was used illegally against my campaign. They spied on my campaign.” Is there any truth to this? I know we’re going back over, relatively speaking, some ancient history and one of Trump’s old complaints dating back to the 2016 campaign.

“Andrew McCabe: He may be referring to the FISA that was obtained surveil Carter Page. We now know there were many mistakes in that FISA. Those are all regrettable.”

So after eight years Andrew McCabe finally comes clean. What a crook. He belongs on CNN.

Well, that sounds like a confession to criminal behavior to me.

All we need now is an indictment.

And don’t give me any crap about the statute of limitations. It was a conspiracy and concealing it is a furtherance of the conspiracy which means the conspiracy never ended. Which is necessary for the SoL to start to run.

TheseTruths

Earlier, pat frederick posted about 3 SCOTUS decisions. This article is about one of them, Scheetz v County of El Dorado. This was written before it went before SCOTUS, but it tells the story.

The government had George Sheetz ‘over a barrel.’ He took his case to the Supreme Court.

Picture this: You’re a 65-year-old retiree who bought a small parcel of land in El Dorado County, California. In your career you worked your way up from $5-an-hour laborer to head of your own engineering contracting company. Your plans are modest: You’re installing a manufactured home on your land. You’ve been careful not to spend more money than you have. You still work sometimes as a consultant, even though you’re retired, so that you and your wife can live comfortably. You paid in full for your land—it took you three years, but it’s yours. 

Unfortunately, the government is less careful with its money. 

El Dorado County is in the middle of a 20-year plan to spend over $800 million improving the area’s roads. The problem? El Dorado doesn’t have $800 million to spend. So to fund its plan, the county is slapping “traffic impact fees” on anyone who applies for a building permit, including you.  

To build a small, manufactured home on your own land, you’re forced to pay the government a traffic impact fee of over $23,000 that will go toward the government’s multimillion-dollar project. 

Do you accept the exorbitant fee and move on with your life? Or do you fight the county, taking your case as far as it will go? 

George Sheetz decided to fight. “Your whole life you get beat down so many times,” says George. “It’d be nice to win one.”  

On January 9, 2024, the case of Sheetz v. El Dorado County will be argued at the United States Supreme Court, with Pacific Legal Foundation serving as co-counsel to Paul Beard from FisherBroyles… 

[George and his wife] moved to El Dorado County, where George spent 30-odd years as an engineering contractor. When George was about ready to retire, he bought a vacant plot. It was an old gold mining site that he had to clean up. “The more I worked on it, the more I fell in love with it,” he says. 

He planned to install a manufactured home on the property. A manufactured home is prefabricated in a factory, rather than built from the ground up. George thought it would require less government red tape than an original construction project. 

He wasn’t counting on a $23,420 traffic impact fee. 

Government extortion 

The Supreme Court has already ruled that the government can’t abuse the permitting process to impose conditions on property owners that have no “essential nexus” with the building project being permitted. That was the Court’s holding in Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987)…

Sheetz v. El Dorado County 

When George first found out about the $23,420 traffic impact fee, he felt sick to his stomach. He went to the county office.  

“They said, ‘This is just the way it is,’” he remembers. “And to accept it. And, ‘You don’t have to build. No one’s making you build.’” 

When you’re dealing with the government, George says, “they pretty much have you over the barrel.” 

But Supreme Court precedent and the Constitution are on George’s side. In Nollan, the Supreme Court called the government’s actions “an out-and-out plan of extortion.” In a later PLF victory, Koontz v. St Johns River Water Management District (argued by Paul Beard when he was at PLF), the Supreme Court extended the precedent set in Nollan to monetary exactions in addition to land.  

George paid the fee under protest so that he could build his home—then he sued El Dorado County. His lawsuit has been going on for seven years. George is now 72. 

“My God, the law does not move along at a very good pace,” George says. “I see why people give up sometimes.” 

George is not asking for much: just the freedom to build on his property without being extorted by his own government. Surely that freedom is part of the American Dream and the California Dream.  

On January 9, George will be inside the Supreme Court, watching his attorney argue his case before the Justices. If he wins, his lawsuit will protect property owners across the country from government extortion. 

If that happens, he says, “I want to go back into that county building, look ’em right in the eye, and say: ‘Well, how do you like me now?’” 

And he won! I think this victory will benefit a lot of people.

Fani Willis Disqualification Petition Passes 60k Signatures
Excerpt:
The petition is from American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a conservative, Christian-based legal organization. Its chief counsel, Jay Sekulow, is a well-known conservative figure who previously served on Trump’s legal team. He was the lead outside counsel for Trump’s first impeachment.
“Now the case is being appealed, and we’re taking action,” the petition reads. “Our senior legal team—including our own former GA prosecutor—is filing a critical amicus brief urging the Georgia Court of Appeals to hear this vital case and disqualify DA Willis.

pgroup can you please explain this to me? I thought a defendant had a right to face their accusers. how can Smith keep these witnesses’ identifies a secret from the defense?
FTA
On Tuesday, however, Cannon opted to side with Smith over the concealment of the identities of certain government witnesses who will testify that Trump allegedly took documents from the White House. Shrouding their identities, Smith had argued, prevents reprisal against his witnesses should Trump be elected in November.
“The Court is satisfied that the Special Counsel has made an adequate showing on this issue under Rule 16, at least at this juncture pending final trial preparations,” according to the court document reviewed by the Daily Caller. “The Court directs the Special Counsel … to file under seal an index containing the name of each potential government witness and a corresponding pseudonym/anonymization for use in the redactions of Defendants’ MTC.”

Friggin’ RAPE VICTIMS have to appear in court to confront their rapist, for God’s sake!

This is a travesty of justice. Our legal system is broken.

pgroup2
pgroup2

Sure I can. Here goes.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right of criminal defendants to be able to confront the accusers/witnesses against him/her.

Smith asked the court to hide the identities of the witnesses prior to trial. The judge granted his request.

There cannot be a trial if defense attorney cannot be prepared to competently defend the defendant. This ruling greatly hinders the defense in its mission to verify a witness’ anticipated testimony and/or credibility. I would say the job is now impossible but the defense will have to show that a witness [or more] cannot be verified as to knowledge of the circumstances or truthfulness in general. Once that showing is made regarding an important prosecution witness, the defense has a good basis to move to dismiss.

The important part of the judge’s order is that she agrees with Smith that the witnesses are endangered because the defendant is DJT. That is clear error because Smith provided no evidence that DJT could endanger any witness. So to try to make up for this, he speculated that if DJT wins the election, he COULD [not will] retaliate against the witnesses. Judge Cannon realized that by asking for that order, he could not later complain about the unforeseen consequences that might flow from that order.

IOW, he’s stuck with it no matter what happens. If Smith doesn’t disclose the witnesses’ names before the jury is seated, Cannon will dismiss with prejudice. If he does disclose prior to the jury being seated, DJT will be able to move the trial date so his team can verify the witnesses’ credibility.

Smith knows that if the trial cannot start before the election, almost all political advantage will be lost.

Judge Cannon knows all this as well. She doesn’t like Smith anyway so she turned his request into a dead albatross, which she proceeded to hang around his neck.

Hope this helps.  😍

Some mini bombshells out of this afternoon’s court hearing in Florida classified docs case. First, things continue to get spicy between Judge Cannon and Jack Smith’s team. She expressed great frustration at what she called “secrecy” surrounding grand jury materials in DC. Keep in mind–DOJ then Jack Smith conducted nearly the entire investigation in Trump-hating DC then switched to FLA at last minute for indictment. Cannon said there is something “ambiguous going on in the background” and commented that it is “impossible to really know” why grand jury materials remain in DC, some under seal. She pushed Jay Bratt, Smith’s lead prosecutor, to explain why records from a closed grand jury matter must remain sealed. Apparently one matter involves Judge Beryl Howell’s order that pierced attorney-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer. Defense attorney Stanley Woodward said he has asked DC court to docket his requests for certain GJ materials. They have “declined,” he told Cannon.

mollypitcher5

I think she’s pretending to not know exactly what’s going on.

pat frederick

but granting the prosecutor the right to shield their witnesses’ names from the defense? i don’t get how that is constitutional. how can you prepare a defense or rebut testimony if you don’t know who’s testifying till they come into court?

mollypitcher5

I agree with you so I feel like she’s acting like it’s so unusual yet she allows it?
Sometimes it seems like these judges know it’s all bullshit but keep pressing on as if it’s confusing. It’s a judiciary con game where the cabal lawyers get away with unprecedented things.

In a previous comment, I opined that she did that to make it impossible for a guilty verdict to stand. The important part is that Thug Smith asked her to do it SO HE CAN’T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT LATER.

In short, judge Cannon gave DJT a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Julie Kelly:
Second–and stunningly–Jay Bratt basically admitted they do not have proof that Walt Nauta, charged with conspiring with Trump to conceal classified files from Trump’s lawyer then the FBI to impede grand jury investigation, moved boxes that actually contained papers with classified markings.
He also indicated he did not believe DOJ would have to prove that at trial. HUH?
That prompted a heated response by Woodward. “Show us the evidence” he said. If, as Bratt stated, they can’t or don’t have to prove Nauta moved boxes with records with classified markings “there is no crime.”
DOJ making “assumptions” that any boxes Nauta moved contained sought-after evidence.
And get this: All the boxes retrieved during MAL raid are at the corrupt Washington FBI field office. Agents apparently removed the alleged “classified documents” and put some sort of marking as to where the contraband paper was in the box.
Suuuure.

Jaylen? So that’s a white dude, I’m guessing.

The interim police chief can read a carefully prepared statement, that’s a good sign.

So one suspect, the 18 year old, was arrested in March 2024 (sounds like that could be pretty recent, if my calendar is accurate), in a stolen car, with an illegally modified Glock, and was immediately released without bond.

So he’s definitely not white, much to my surprise.

If he was white, and was stopped in a stolen car with an illegally modified Glock, he would be in prison without bail, facing 25 years to life.

But protected-class Jaylen murdered a (not protected-class) white cop, so I would expect Jaylen to be released from the hospital on his own recognizance, without being charged (again).

Meanwhile he talks about nothing that will actually prevent non citizens from voting other than his pipe dream.

What needs to happen now besides record turn out and by whatever means necessary the elimination of drop boxes, is they need facial recognition supported by a statewide database set up around all voting places.

Did I miss something?

What possible point could there be, regardless of how the vote turns out, to have a resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza, passed by some town on the other side of the planet?
