California Gov. Gavin Newsom just lost a major ruling in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which ruled that President Donald Trump is likely to prevail in his deployment of National Guard troops. Newsom and various Democratic politicians have insisted that Trump’s order is unlawful and that Newsom has to agree to any request for deployment. The Ninth Circuit ruled on Thursday that Newsom does not have such a veto over deployments.
The Ninth Circuit blocked the injunction of District Court Judge Charles Breyer who suggested in open court that Trump was acting like another “King George.” He then wrote an opinion that included many Democratic talking points — suggesting, for example, that Trump was creating disorder by calling out the National Guard to deal with disorder. Breyer further indicated that the violence in Los Angeles was relatively minor, despite potentially deadly attacks on law enforcement, arson, and looting.
Breyer gave the Administration little time to appeal his ruling, but it was enough for the Ninth Circuit.
Title 10 provides:
Whenever—
(1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or
possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a
foreign nation;
(2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the
authority of the Government of the United States; or
(3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;
the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.
10 U.S.C. § 12406.
In his decision, Judge Breyer took the extreme position that Trump could not use subsection 3 if there was any possibility of executing federal laws absent the use of the National Guard troops:
[T]he statute does not allow for the federalizing of the National Guard when the President faces obstacles that cause him to underperform in executing the laws. Nor does the statute allow for the federalizing of the National Guard when the President faces some risk in executing the laws. . . . The statute requires that the President be “unable” to execute the laws of the United States. That did not happen here.
In its decision, the court rejected this premise and held that “Section 12406 does not have as a prerequisite that the President be completely precluded from executing the relevant laws of the United States in order to call members of the National Guard into federal service, nor does it suggest that activation is inappropriate so long as any continued execution of the laws is feasible.”
It concluded that “it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority” in federalizing control of the guard. It also rejected Newsom’s claim of a veto on deployment.
Here is the opinion: 25-3727_order-for-pub
It isn’t the current administration that is defying rulings – it’s the opposite. I cannot express enough how vile the modern left has become, truly; or how I will never vote for them again, and I used to. How many times can we say this is madness?
Thank goodness for the ruling, but it shouldn’t have been necessary.
America is not a juristocracy.
The Constitution does not assign superiority or dominion to the Supreme Court, which must simply compare and ensure that actions comport with law.
Ruth 1:1 – “In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land.”
Judges shouldn’t try to rule the land. It rarely ends well.
Kansas, we might be listening to the same things. If so keep it up because it brings wisdom and joy.
Meyer, I always appreciate your commentary. From yesterday’s conversation it seems you may be a medical doctor? I was not aware.
@Anonymous
Nope. But modern dems don’t care one whit for our Constitution; younger members say it very much openly (and I’d be surprised if any of them have actually even read it – yet: they get elected in blue districts). So do want to give them any power whatsoever on the benefit of the doubt? I sure hope not.
obstruction is the only too left to the progs. Either obstruct via the courts or obstruct with molotov cocktails.
Jonathan: Looks like DJT got one rare win in the courts over the federal deployment of National Guard troops to LA to ostensibly “protect” federal buildings. But you overlooked an important ruling by the 9th Circuit in this case. DJT had argued that his decision to invoke 10 USC Sec. 12406 was not reviewable by the courts. The 9th Circuit rejected that claim of dictatorial power. That, in a sense, was more important than whether there are Nat. Guard troops standing in front of the federal building in downtown LA.
Now there other important decisions by Courts of Appeal this week you have ignored. Like the decisions by the 2nd Circuit in the two E. Jean Carroll cases. DJT appealed both the $5 million award to Carroll for sexual assault and the $83.3 million jury verdict in Carroll’s defamation case against DJT. Last week the 2nd Circuit upheld the $5 million award.
In the defamation award and DJT’s appeal AG Pam Bondi’s DOJ tried to intervene in the case. She sought to replace DJT as the defendant with the DOJ. Bondi argued that under the Westfall Act, a 1988 law that protects federal employees from civil lawsuits for official acts, DJT should be immune from civil liability for defaming Carroll back in 2019 when he was president. In a short order yesterday the 2nd Circuit rejected Bondi’s attempt to intervene in the defamation judgment case–with an opinion to follow. Had Bondi been successful in intervening it would be the taxpayers who would be on the hook for the $83.3 million judgment, not DJT personally. The 2nd Circuit is yet to hear DJT’s appeal on the merits. I would expect the 2nd Circuit will uphold the $83.3 million jury award as well and then DJT will appeal to the SC.
So the Q is why would AG Bondi try to use the DOJ to intervene in a 6 year old civil case against DJT. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why. Since her appointment as AG, Bondi has treated the DOJ as DJT’s personal law firm to go after the “capo’s” political enemies and now to protect him from personal lawsuits. Bondi no longer follows DOJ’s ethics guidelines or the rule of law. It’s now all about using the DOJ to pursue the dictator’s personal agenda!
If you’re going to make salient points about an administration using the DOJ as “personal lawyers” (that “go after political enemies”), you must not overlook, yourself, the important fact that this is exactly what Biden and his DOJ did [that faction still at work]. Old Garland was just as much an unapologetic “personal lawyer,” as obstructionist Mayorkas was. Extreme-leftists want to be the only ones who can play and win at this game.
No one will take you seriously, at all, until you start spreading the truth evenly.
Dianna Bec,
Great comment and take down of Dennis!!
Up
100%
Dennis.
Did you miss this part?
federal deployment of National Guard troops (National) Not State you fool.
Hey desperate lib, Trump was never found guilty or liable for sexual assault, you typical leftist moron.
The insane opinion of Judge Breyers was so void of rational thought that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (the most liberal and overturned by SCOTUS in the nation) found for the respondent in record time! I would argue that Judge Breyers should be removed from the bench for being mentally unfit to make a judgement on any case…..Especially one involving “King George”!
Maybe there is a need for an “Appeal Decision Score” for all judges, both federal and state, below the Supreme Court level. How about: (# decisions upheld on appeal) – (# decisions overturned on appeal) / (total # decisions appealed) x 100. Such a score can perhaps give an indication of what judges up the chain think about the legal reasoning of lower court judges. Higher scores may indicate or confirm a lower court judge’s fidelity to laws as written. A negative number will more likely than not indicate a potentially big problem.
A ridiculous ruling by Judge Breyer, again showing how politically corrupt the system is (on BOTH sides). During arguments, he corrected Trump’s lawyers for saying that the President is “Commander-in-Chief,” even of the National Guard. “No, he’s not!” snapped Breyer, except . . . read the Wikipedia page, Your Honor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Guard_(United_States)
Straight from the horse’s mouth.
What is the National Guard’s mission

the President can activate the National Guard to participate in federal missions, both domestically and overseas.
Interesting 1996 Clinton signed into law the (IIRIRA) on dealing with illegals.
BILL CLINTON: “The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) is a law passed in 1996 that fundamentally changed the landscape of immigration policies and enforcement in the United States. This law expanded the government’s ability to deport undocumented immigrants, greatly increased the number of border patrol agents, and made it harder for legal immigrants to enter or stay in the country. The effects of this law are still being felt today, more than two decades later.” https://immigration.laws.com/IIRIRA
Subtitle C: Revision of Grounds for Exclusion and Deportation – Amends the Act to require (with exceptions) proof of specified health vaccinations for aliens seeking admission as immigrants or for adjustment of status.
(Sec. 342) Makes “incitement of terrorist activity” a basis for exclusion.
(Sec. 343) Establishes certification requirements for aliens seeking U.S. health care employment (other than physicians).
(Sec. 344) Provides for exclusion and deportation of aliens who have falsely claimed U.S. citizenship.
(Sec. 345) Authorizes a waiver of exclusion or deportation for civil document fraud under specified family-related circumstances.
(Sec. 346) Makes an alien inadmissible for five years for student visa violations.
(Sec. 347) Amends Federal criminal law to provide for exclusion and deportation of an alien who has illegally voted.
(Sec. 348) Amends the Act with respect to waivers of inadmissibility for: (1) immigrants convicted of crimes; and (2) family hardship.
(Sec. 350) Establishes grounds for exclusion and deportation for offenses of domestic violence, stalking, crimes against children, and violation of protection orders.
(Sec. 352) Provides for exclusion of former U.S. citizens who renounced citizenship in order to avoid U.S. taxation.

In other words, former Democrat lawyer and now Judge Breyer has now been identified as acting in an unconstitutional manner – Judge Breyer, proclaiming himself to have the powers of a circuit court monarch, to nationally overrule the man elected by the people of the nation he cosplays as being the monarch of.
Channeling his own abuses and excesses from the bench onto the president, claiming that it’s the president acting like a monarch.
Professor: what about the last sentence of 10 which says orders go thru the Governor? Not discussed.
The Ninth Circuit ruled the governor of the failed state of CA did not and would not up hold law and order and it required President Trump to have to call out the NG in defense of LEOs to include the LAPD from the violence of the rioters.
Anonymous – the opinion (linked by the professor) addresses that. It says that going through the Adjutant General of the CA NG qualifies. I suggest you read the opinion if you want to know the court’s reasoning on that topic in more detail.
-Moreover, the appellate court held that even if, ARGUENDO, there was procedural error in going thru the Adjutant General, “such failure would not justify the injunctive relief imposed by the
district court.”
Lin, interested in your thoughts about whether the reasoning in this case might be applied by the Supreme Court to the Alien Enemies Act issue:
1. The political question doctrine does not apply to statutes, so the matter is justiciable; but
2. Based on Martin v Mott, the courts must give substantial deference to the president in his determination of whether the predicate conditions have been met.
You can find lengthy precise discussion and ruling on that issue, starting on lower page 30, No.2 of the above Order cited by Professor Turley.
1) Well, naysaying-ANON, perhaps “…so long as any continued execution of the laws is feasible” is actually the crux of the matter. Law cannot be properly administered with a governor that is civilly dissolute, obstructionist, recalcitrant and duplicitous, against well-established LAW.
2) “It also rejected Newsom’s claim of a veto on deployment.” Here again, is yet-another example of how extreme-leftists create totally-undemocratic policy as they go along, rather than follow it.
* Progressive-ISM has nothing to do with upholding statutory policies and precedents that keep order, but rather it operates on emotional obstruction, political mischief, and ideological contempt. NONE of that is not the basis of law, no matter how much you cry.

Yes, its the Natiomal Guard, not the State Guard. It’s the Natonal Guard, not the California Guard. Just like Eisenhower and Kennedy and Johnson rolled out the Guards to enforce civil rights laws over the objections of the Governors of Alabama and Arkansas and Mississippi, Trump did likewise to enforce immigration laws in California. Hopefully he will do it in Illinois and New york as well.
Lawless Democrat Governors – just like Newscum
It always strikes me as odd that the dems can only remember those parts of our laws that benefit their agenda but can’t seem to get the underlying ethos of the constitution in its entirety.
Whimsicalmama, it shouldn’t strike you as odd if you consider why a constitution was necessary in the first place. If anything, odd would be very people that created it, compared to contemporary politicians. The citizen-“politicians” that formed this government knew they were about to give people power that would be abused (Federalist 51). When I consider the times in which it was written, the Framers and the People were predominantly aligned in principle. It wasn’t long after the ink dried that all parties began to play the inevitable roles the constitution was designed to check. Fast forward and we once again have an “oddball” President and administration. He’s aligned with a majority of our citizens on those underlying principles from our founding. Democrats are deeply rooted in being an opposition party. The fact President Trump’s ethos are America First leaves the Democratic party effectively as an enemy of the state.
Dear Prof Turley,
This is a rather brief analysis for such a consequential ruling. Perhaps, like me, you can find little justification for it.
1. There is no hostile ‘invasion’ by the global dysphoria of melon pickers and meat house packers looking for a better life in the land of opportunity.
Note. there are a few nation-states who seem to completely skirt/evade FARA regulations who exert an enormous influence on the foreign and domestic policies of the U.S.
2. There is no rebellion against the ‘authority of the Government of the United States’. There are legitimate protests against the authority of President Trump’s use of the armed forces to quell protests.
Special note. The authority of President Trump is not the same thing as the ‘authority of U.S. government’. .. at least in theory.
3. Gov. Newsom, the regular State authority, did not request Federal assistance from President Trump .. . and, more importantly, does not agree with it.
Certainly, the internal security of the U.S. (or any country) can be tied to a reasonable and rational immigration policy. .. that’s why, with all due deference to The Executive, I suggest Trump is ’rounding up’ and deporting the wrong people.
Top Homeland Security official says 75% of ICE arrests are convicted criminals
“McLaughlin criticized the media for biased coverage of the ICE raids. She said the Trump administration was getting the “worst of the worst” out of the country.”
https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/homeland-security-top-official-says-75-ice-arrests-are-convicted
The NG had to be called up to support LEOs to include the LAPD, in not quelling protests but riots.
Ask the 9th. They agree too
Check your history on other Prez doing this.
The government did not claim authority to deploy under your points 1 and 2. The authority to deploy is based on Title 10, (3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States, federal law enforcement were prevented to perform their duty by the “mostly peaceful fiery rioting mob” and the NG was properly deployed. The animosity of the Gov and L.A. mayor towards Trump resulting in delay to have local authority to control the situation exacerbated the problem.
Clearly, the government (i.e. Trump) has no authority under points 1 and 2. The conditions for that authority – the use of federal armed forces (ie. the military) to resolve domestic disputes – are not in evidence.
Which, in my mind, would render President Trump’s actions reviewable.
Point #3, regrettably, does seem to pit the authority of ‘the Gov and L.A. mayor’ against the authority of President Trump. .. not sure who has the most ‘animosity’.
The failed governor and the failed mayor of the failed state of CA and LA would not up hold law and order, prevent or stop riots and violence against federal, state and local LEOs. They needed assistance/help. The governor nor the mayor would not do anything so President Trump had to call up the NG, which he had the authority to do, as the Ninth Circuit ruled as the good professor points out. Clearly.
California, as I understand it, has many problems – many tied to Gov Newsom and the L.A. mayor – it is the 4th largest economy in the world. Hardly a ‘failed’ state. Clearly.
Don’t believe President Trump “had to call up the NG”. .. or round up 3,000/day of the ‘worst of the worst’ in Home Depot parking lots.
*there are whole industries reporting they have no work force at all .. . hard rain going to fall.
Remove federal funding, and that 4th largest economy looks more like a third world country.

Upstate,
Especially when the Mayor, Karen Bass, was an active member of the Venceremos Brigade and had direct involvement with Fidel Castro since 1973.
Also, nothing says “peaceful protest” like mob violence towards federal law enforcement officers, federal buildings, cars burning, rocks and pyrotechnics explosions while Mexican flags are waving
The President of the United States has every right and more so when a governor will not curtail rebellion.
It is just that simple. The investigation into who is bankrolling these violent thugs will likely reveal some surprises.
dgsnowden says: Clearly, the government (i.e. Trump) has no authority under points 1 and 2.
Clearly you lost any hope of having any credibility when you claim Trump was deporting the wrong criminal Illegal Aliens by deporting the convicted violent criminals and drug cartel members like MS13 – who you defended and claimed were picking our melons and lettuce where they lived in the streets of Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, etc.
Do you fear what that Democrat politician stated: You won’t be able to hire an Illegal Alien to help you wipe your ass if Trump keeps deporting these violent criminals?
DJT is turning out to be Secretariat. Just let him run.
dgsnowden posted: This is a rather brief analysis for such a consequential ruling. Perhaps, like me, you can find little justification for it. There is no hostile ‘invasion’ by the global dysphoria of melon pickers and meat house packers looking for a better life in the land of opportunity.
dgsnowden reached deep into his pocket of Democrat subterfuge and lies to assure us that the million or so Illegal Aliens, illegally invited and imported here by Biden, are picking our lettuce and melons in the concrete jungles of New York, San Francisco, etc.
And of course, cities like New York and San Francisco have meat packing plants on every block, where those Illegal Aliens who aren’t picking our lettuce growing on the sidewalks are employed.
Now dgsnowden wants us to believe Trump is rounding up and deporting the wrong people – the MS13 and other violent drug cartel members who are here diligently picking our lettuce and melons and working in our meat packing plants.
I’m not sure that even Joe Biden would have attempted to get away with that blatant BS.
Wrong in so many ways. But keep thinking like an emotion-driven prog, we understand that your comprehension of the bigger picture is constricted by your ideology
As usual, dg, your view is parallax in the extreme:
1) There is “no hostile invasion” [of melon pickers, etc.]: perhaps not on an individual basis, but on a globalist’s agenda, there certainly IS a planned invasion, and you saw it in full execution during the Biden Administration, where they deliberately, openly, and illegally brought this national riff to the fore. Also, witness, how these well-meaning po-folk hold no allegiance to the country that feeds/pays them, proudly flying flags that do not belong in the conversation.
2) There is “no rebellion,” but there IS: witness the bare-faced flag-waving: already Mexicans are calling for the U.S. to cede California back to Mexico. You are blind if you cannot see what the signs mean. And your theory about a theory, stating that President Trump has “no authority,” and is not the same as the U.S. Government, is exactly the kind of anti-American, useful idiocy, you provide to them. You are not an American, dg—you are an insurrectionist.
3) Newsome has not and will not agree to any Federal Assistance: doesn’t matter—if he’s unable or unwilling to protect the interests of the union, there is a legal remedy, which the court proved.
Yes, we need a reasonable/rational immigration polity, but it is NOT what you are advocating. Those who enter my country to work and better their lives must register with work-permit, and pledge allegiance to this country and its interests, which you should do yourself.
Dianna Bec,
Great comment!
#1. The melons have stickers=)> product of Mexico. Right, there is no invasion of melon pickers. 😏.
Wish there were calif melons. They’re so much better than Mexico melons.
Dianna Bec. Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither .. . and will get neither.
Actually, in this case, you are sacrificing liberty for the mad ramblings of a failed WWF carnival barker drunk on his own unfulfilled promises and hoisted upon his own petard.
In reality, the vast majority of undocumented ‘illegal aliens’ are fine, hard-working, honest people inexorably intertwined in the American economy. .. ask Trump Industries if you don’t believe me.
Sincerely,
The Most American
Parallax, again! Security is not the issue. Criminality is. Treason is. You don’t come here and burn down our infrastructure (police cars, federal buildings, small businesses) while flying foreign flags and get to be called fine-hard-working-honest people.
You’ve got your head stuck in the mud, dg, and your heart in Mexico. You are not the most American, you are an insurrectionist, aiding and abetting the propaganda of invasion.
Dianna, your words fly right over Dgsnowden’s head. He tries to pose as an intelligent left leaning Libertarian but lacks the brains to pull it off.
“I suggest Trump is ’rounding up’ and deporting the wrong people.”
yep – he ought to deport Newscum, Karen Bass, Sen “Margarita cocktail boy” Van Hollen, of Maryland Father fame, for starters

Portland anti-ICE riot crushed by federal agents
https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-anti-ice-riot-crushed-federal-agents
How marvelous!
Grade B movie acting from Newsom. “”There’s more of gravy than of grave about you”.
I submit the entire spectacle was for pure martyrdom. First off, it cost him nothing in terms of dollars as he is wasting his own state’s tax dollars, not his own bank account. Secondly, to the Socialist true believers, he goes down fighting the noble lost cause, not unlike say, Nathan Bedford Forrest and the final remnants of the Confederacy which hung on after the surrender. Forrest going on to be a founding member and the first Grand Wizard of the post-Civil War Reconstruction-era Ku Klux Klan, serving from 1867 to 1869.
So Newsom at a minimum can claim to his extremists “never surrender”, (which is what the purpose of all this was actually about), and that he fought the good fight against the Great Orange Satan in Washington. Remind me, how many extremists are there in California?
Exactly, so Newsom’s rather adolescent attempt to fight with Trump while wasting California’s tax funds may not be entirely as idiotic as it appears to otherwise sane persons. Sanity was never in the cards.
-Oddball
Trump’s just buying time for Citizens (two-weeks) to move out of the way and the Navy to get; Carriers, Cruisers, and Subs in place. Subs don’t move so fast when trying to go undetected. Logistics of Troops and Systems take about two weeks to deploy. My guess is the Deep State has something over Trump compromising his vanity or something ridiculous when given the ‘Lives-of-the-People’ whom will perish and be lost to this idiotic War to surround Russia and bring it over to Israel and the Western control (the Zbigniew Brzezinski theater).
If Russia and Iran laid down all and every defense they have, the Israelis would be exposed to what they are really about. “Pre-Emptive” my ass, just mindless rhetorical to get sucked into War. Keeping the Casino going. so a Few (8 million) can rule the World of 8.5 Billion. Via Banking and Market control, Supply Chain Control, etc…, all the Illusions of Modern Man. Do you really think toppling and overthrowing a xx,xxx year old Government (the Persian civilization) will hand over control to the Knesset and Congress? Really? NO.
Israel 2.0 (Post – Potsdam Conference Agreement) synthesized the creation of today’s modern Israel. It’s the WW∙II by-product of displaced European Jewish People’s diaspora. It has become the expansive power it is under the United States via constant Lobbying and support of a curated Congressional culture (AIPAC raised Warmongers).
That’s not a Free World, that’s not a Free Market, That’s not Freedom. It’s Authoritarian Rule.
Underwritten by the Threat of Nuclear; Extortion, Blackmail, and Annihilation.
A Free World doesn’t need to be Ruled. It is not abut the “survival’ of Israelis, this is about Absolute-Rule.
The Return of the King (Rule of the Deep State Overlord).
“Call a Spade a Spade”
Freedom knows no Ruler.
It appears the Iranian royalty will be reinstated after a 45 year exile. He’s an extremely well educated highly intelligent man. So it goes…Iran will be free at last.

“It appears the Iranian royalty will be reinstated after a 45 year exile”
Iranian “royalty” is a myth. The Pahlavis are a family of puppets, first enthroned by the British to do their bidding. Then, when the Persians tired of their resources being expropriated for nearly nothing by the Brits, they elected a prime minister (M. Mossaddegh) and a representative government in 1951 (taking advantage of the diminished reach of the Brits, who were weakened by WWII). Our wonderful CIA, for whatever reason, decided to bail out the Brits by fomenting what might have been its first “color revolution”, in 1953. We put Reza Pahlavi on the throne as Shah, and he proceeded to greatly abuse his authority for the next 38 years, which directly resulted in the Iranian revolution and the coming to power of the Islamic extremists. As terrible as those cretins are, they are in power, and the situation is what it is, in large part because we dirtied our hands meddling in their internal affairs 72 years ago.
Way to appease Iran, Neville.
Jezzzzzzzzzzz Talk about going all over the place.
Dustoff: Agree. I actually started chuckling. Maybe he/she just needed to get all this accumulation off the chest.
Influencers, mein Gott!

Just an Observation,
When you are talking of Global Domination (Hegemony, Globalization) in this immediate time frame, It is “All over the Place” as you stated.
A discussion needs to cover a lot of aspects in order to capture the missive’s perspective.
The mindless rhetorical around the Iranian “underground enrichment facility”(Fordo facility)
Where do the Nuclear Plants in the United States get their Fuel?
The Fuel comes in the form of Enriched Uranium pellets stacked into rods staggered along side graphite pellets.
Where are the U235 Pellets made?
Guess:
1. The back of an indiscreet abandon K-Mart Store?
2. A Nuclear containment building at a Nuclear Plant?
3. Underground in an containment enrichment facility under a mountain, so that if a accident happens to escape processing the Radiation can be contained, particularly when Plutonium is processed for Nuclear Bomb detonators?
The Iranians were processing Uranium Ore for use in Nuclear Power Reactors – Not Bombs. So yes indeed they have an underground facility underground to produce the Fuel Rods (widely known and inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency as the Fordo facility).
Where did Israel get its nuclear weapons in Dimona from? “Parlez-vous Français” anyone?
Has it ever been inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency?
Has Isreal ever had a widespread inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency?

The discourse for “Pre-Emptive War” is apparently asymetric.
America does not not need this War, Nobody does.
The Iranians were processing Uranium Ore for use in Nuclear Power Reactors – Not Bombs.
Ah! Another Biden-level lie! Supposedly the Iranians (sitting on an ocean of oil and gas while vowing “Death To The Great Satan”) needed to not only produce uranium for nuclear power they couldn’t get from oil and gas. But ENRICHED, WEAPONS GRADE uranium… which no nuclear power plant uses. Nothing to do with their repeated vow to complete Hitler and The Grand Mufti’s Final Solution for the Jews.
And the intercontinental ballistic missiles they were developing at the same time? They were to be fitted with massive batteries, in order to export that nuclear generated electrical power to the USA i.e. The Great Satan.
The only ones in America who wants the Mad mullahs of Iran – who have murdered and maimed thousands of Americans since the Mad Mullahs seized power in Afghanistan alone – to have nuclear weapons are their fellow genocidal anti-Semitics whose genocidal hatred of Jews makes them indifferent to the threat of Iran putting nuclear weapons into the arms of their terrorist proxies to detonate in The Great Satan.
“The Iranians were processing Uranium Ore for use in Nuclear Power Reactors – Not Bombs.”
BS.
See the International Atomic Energy Agency’s recent report on Iran’s nuclear *weapons* program.
“The discourse for “Pre-Emptive War” is apparently asymetric [sic].”
So you wish to make it symmetric by allowing a totalitarian dictatorship (Iran) to possess a nuclear weapon?!
You fools learned nothing from the spineless Neville Chamberlain.
If Russia and Iran laid down all and every defense they have, the Israelis would be exposed to what they are really about.
Anti-Semetics will always expose who they are. How DARE those filthy Jews prevent the Mad Mullahs who have sworn to complete Hitler’s Final Solution from getting a nuclear weapon to bring about the Armageddon that will bring that last Mahdi out of the well at Qum,
True, the Mad Mullahs would also murder many Muslims of other denominations living in peace in Israel, not to mention the Coptic Christians living there. But hey, if they choose to live in Israel, they’re infidels that deserve to die.
And true, only a Woke Useful Idiot would believe that a nuclear exchange initiated by Iran wouldn’t have the slightest damaging effect on America.
But those filthy Jews have got to go – and the Mad Mullah’s subjugating Iran are the weapon we need to bring that about after the disappointment of Hitler and his buddy The Grand Mufti failed in their attempt.
Of course, this is the same Iran that has been butchering Americans by terrorism and other means ever since the Mad Mullahs took power – thousands of American troops killed in Afghanistan alone by highly lethal sophisticated IEDs supplied to the Taliban terrorists by Iran’s Quds Force, along with training on how to be successful killing American troops from long distance.
Being Anti-Semitic also exposes that a nation of terrorists, on the verge of having functional nuclear weapons along with ballistic missiles, doesn’t bother you in the slightest while those terrorists keep chanting “Death To The Great Satan” while killing thousands of your fellow Americans who were willing to risk their lives in the uniform of your country..
Skippy, when Mad Mullah terrorists keep assuring you they also plan to wipe out America while they’re on the verge of having nuclear weapons… your Anti-Semitism doesn’t give you special immunity when the Mad Mullahs act on their promise to wipe you out just as they intend to wipe out those filthy Jews you want to see wiped from the face of the earth.
Look Pal,
In a couple weeks you will have the War. Bombs will fly, People will die, and Regimes will be exchanged for another Regime.
Nothing will Change
None of that has to be.
“That’s not a Free World, that’s not a Free Market, That’s not Freedom. It’s Authoritarian Rule.”
You’ve got some interesting points, Its Comming. Many of us know, full-well, there’s a uni-party facilitating the social, political, economic theaters of war (thus, driving into existence the neo-feudalism of oligarchy).
However, there’s one little sticking point: no matter HOW Israel was returned to statehood, despite the diaspora, both factors were predicted with supreme-accuracy in the Bible. When the Bible is proven by actual events, you’ve got a different kind of problem (and solution) on your hands….
” “Pre-Emptive” my ass,”
You described yourself perfectly.
Mr. Meyer, we may not agree but there is no need to get defensively recalcitrance with me.
IMO there is not a Nuclear Weapons Program in Iran. Iran is a member of ‘The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)”
Israel is not, and has not given any indication of it’s willingness to participate in the NPT, while having Nuclear Weapons in its arsenals.
Thus I feel it is an asymmetric accusation that made upon a pretext of ‘Pre-Emptive’ measures.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have made Nuclear inspections in Iran’s facilities to verify that nuclear materials and facilities are used for peaceful purposes. The IAEA’s safeguards system ensures that states comply with their non-proliferation obligations. These inspections involve on-site visits, monitoring, and analysis of data to confirm the peaceful use of nuclear technology. The IAEA has not been allowed to inspect Israels facilities.
Just citing known public facts
The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament.

“There is no need to get defensively recalcitrance with me.
That hardly matters, because what you just said reveals an ignorance that defies belief.
Dear War Hawks, Please give me your best augment.
Israel has multiple Nuclear War heads (Nuclear Bombs), so why doesn’t Israel just go ahead and Bomb Iran with it’s Nukes? They have the Bomb, They have Air superiority. You don’t need a “Bunker Buster” when you have Tactical and Full Capacity Nuclear War Head; Missiles, Cruise Missiles, and Gravity Bombs. Why hasn’t Israel done it already? Just Do It, No ones is going to stand up to you and your Nuclear Arsenal.
Why does the United States have to ‘hold your hand’ to do this? We don’t want to be drug into this War. No one wants to walk into a nuclear war zone. You don’t need the U.S. to do it. Why not ask France or any other Country you get your Nuclear piles from?
So WHY hasn’t Israel Just DONE It? Taken care of it Themselves.
I do not believe your argument hold water for the U.S.. The United States does not need to be a part of this.
Get it over with, but keep the United States out of it.
So Hawks Tell me WHY? we need to be part of this.
Israel has been fighting a seven-front war against Iranian proxies, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. The conflict has expanded to include Iran itself, a country with over ten times Israel’s population, thousands of ballistic missiles, a large military, and an air force. Despite this massive imbalance, Israel is holding its ground without requesting American troops. It has preserved lives and is winning without resorting to nuclear weapons.
You have a lot of questions, but they’re not asked with insight. They don’t reflect any real understanding of the region or the world. That Israel removes Iran’s threat of nuclear weapons benefits the US and the world.
Jeffrey Lewis, an expert on nuclear nonproliferation at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, pointed out that a potential US nuclear strike on Fordow could be carried out with “a strategic B61-11 nuclear earth penetrator with a yield of 300 or 400 kilotons”. The bomb the US dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 was 15 kilotons.

“The United States does not need to be a part of this.”
America has had every moral right to invade Iran since 1979 — when Iran kidnapped American diplomats and civilians. And since the first fatwa issued by your cherished Mullahs in Iran. And since some 40 years ago when Iran became the world’s greatest state sponsor of terrorism. And since October 7, 2023 when Iran (via its proxy, Hamas) invaded Israel, kidnapped and murdered it citizens (along with Americans).
Appeasing an aggressive totalitarian dictatorship never ends well.
Ah! Looks like the fascist Democrats lose again! Clearly when the Democrats will not abide by law and order, maintain the peace, allow and even encourage riots, arson and looting, it takes real adults to uphold the law! Keep it up Democrats! Please do! Continue to show us all how you are the party of lawlessness!
As one would expect from a Trump propagandist, TJT skips over the narrowness of the ruling, especially in regard to the crucial question of precisely what law and order actions Trump can authorize, and the court’s rejection of the government’s idiotic argument that the case wasn’t even justiciable.
…”especially in regard to the crucial question of precisely what law and order actions Trump can authorize”
????
Perhaps you might want to review the precise and narrow issues raised by Newsom et al, that were actually before the appellate court. They can be found in Reply in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
Lin,
Thank you for that legal analysis.
It’s just demonic activity as Armageddon proceeds in Israel. 100s of mile long tunnels in San Diego alone being shut down. No other comment necessary.
I am astounded that no one has hijacked the comments. It seems that after USAID was shut down that maybe the bot farms have gone quiet. The hard part for me to figure out is why the governor thought it would be wise to force this issue. I get that he cannot afford to see his base of constituents (“The Cartels”) weakened, but this was a goofy fight. Is he the Governor from La Mancha?
Yep
I cannot wait for California to pass that law banning facial coverings on LEO’s. They KNOW it cannot apply to the feds but once again, they think their constituents will be fooled. They will just end up pissing off their own LEO’s, especially if they start getting doxxed.
