Actually, it's only Friday so the week isn't over ... but I can't wait!
Primaries, SCOTUS and The Debate ... Oh My!
Primary Results
Let's start with some primary antics from AOC and fellow "Squad" member Jamaal at a rally in the Bronx. Please note these are elected Congress-persons in the House of Representin'. They are quite literally just one step away from Idiocracy. YIKES!!
I'll put AOC up first ... she has some entertaining dance moves.

Next, let's watch the inspiring performance by Jamaal Bowman, who's main claim to fame is pulling a fire alarm to delay a vote in Congress (hmmm, shouldn't that be a crime??)
Fortunately, people are starting to reject such bullshit and Jamaal lost his bid for re-election to a moderate Democrat. This gives me some hope, perhaps people on both sides want more moderation (and unity) instead of relentless extreme division.
In related news, two Dems in Colorado have been replaced by more moderate candidates.
SCOTUS
The Supreme Court is working furiously to complete it's work before the traditional summer break. There have been several important decisions this week and one, in particular, is a major victory for "We The People".
I'm referring to their decision to overturn the 40 year-old "Chevron" doctrine.
The Chevron decision (from 1984) compelled judges to defer to the interpretation made by un-elected federal bureaucrats in situations where the law was unclear. I do not see this as a partisan issue since both parties have allowed vast overreach by federal agencies over the years.
By overturning Chevron, it is now up to judges, rather than bureaucrats to interpret grey areas in the law. This will compel Federal Agencies to follow the law and will require them to go back to Congress if they seek greater authority than what Congress originally defined.
Unfortunately, Progressive Democrats are unhappy with this decision. Senate Majority Chuck Schumer said, "In overruling Chevron, the Trump MAGA Supreme Court has once again sided with powerful special interests and giant corporations against the middle class and American families."
It is amazing to me that the leader of the Legislative Branch would be so angry, hateful and divisive about a decision that returns authority to the Legislative Branch. I don't believe that Mr. Schumer is irrational ... I believe he is simply anti-American.
The Debate
The first Presidential Debate of 2024 was last night. I watched the whole thing.
I was disappointed that neither candidate talked about future policies ... they each tried to exaggerate (or defend) their past record.
I cannot comprehend that a poll of likely voters indicates that 33% think that Biden won the debate. The indoctrination and brainwashing must be powerful, indeed. Dishonest Progressive media (but I repeat myself) is urgently proclaiming that Trump lied throughout the debate while they whitewash the multitude of lies and distortions from Mr. Biden.
I won't bore you with specific moments from the debate ... the final 45 seconds says it all.
Actually, Jill's performance following the debate is even more cringe-worthy. Like she's congratulating a 3 year-old.
"Joe! You did such a great job! (wild applause)
You answered every question! (more applause)
You knew all the answers!"
