There are ten others indicted on similar charges. This guilty plea is expected to lead to Mr. James’s full cooperation and testimony. But even with this deal for leniency he is looking at least six years and maybe more. It could have been much worse. The plea agreement states: “The parties agree that the most analogous offense to seditious conspiracy is ‘Treason.'”

Many of you scoffed when I reported this kind of fraud, and claimed it was an isolated incident.

It isn’t. It’s standard Democrat practice nationwide.

3 Democrat responses to SOTU

“It’s like keying your own car and slashing your own tires,” Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.,”

WSJ Biden’s SOTU

Well, it didn’t work the first year, but this time it will work.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an old salt mine in Louisiana which currently holds under 600 million barrels of crude oil. It is intended for emergencies like supply interruptions like the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970s.  It is not intended to boost poll numbers.

The 30million barrels Biden is taking form the reserves to try to hold down gasoline prices that are hurting him at the polls would supply the country for about 2 1/2 days. There isn’t enough there to make up for Biden’s anti-energy policies. If he tries to fix the shortage his policies are creating with oil from the reserves, he doesn’t have enough to last until election day.

But when he’s used it all up, what happens if there is a real emergency?

WSJ’s writer forecasts a dramatic context for Joe Biden’s State of the Union address tonight. The way she sees it, the event holds potential for either a presidential reset or a progressive face plant. I don’t share her implied optimism that Stumble Joe is up to the task at hand.

WSJ Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record

Well, that was disappointing. The nominee’s judicial record shows a consistent pattern of ruling as she thinks the law should be rather than what it is.

With 50 Democrat Senators, she will likely be confirmed but she has no business being on the Supreme Court.

The speaker is very glib, and he chooses not to push his argument too far. Allow me.
