Join me as I do a quick summary of today's live stream coverage of Day #003 of the Karen Read murder re-trial.
Yesterday President Trump issued two Executive Orders that are among the most important of his second term. One seeks to put a stake through the heart that is the racism of "diversity of impact" dealing a sever blow to the DEI industry, and the second seeks to strip the power of accreditation from the hands of woke DEI mind virus fraudsters.
Join me as we break down the implications of both!

Join me as I do a quick summary of today's live stream coverage of Day #002 of the Karen Read murder re-trial.
Judge appears to have driven YET ANOTHER unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district trial judge completely over the edge, provoking Judge Paula Xinis into the greatest degree of insane and petulant over-reaching we've yet seen in the law fare being waged against our elected Article II Executive Branch president by the TDS-afflicted inferior Article III judges who mistakenly believe they possess unlimited authority.<...

Join me as I do a quick summary of today's live stream coverage of Day #001 of the Karen Read murder re-trial.
The federal lawsuits over the deportation of Tren de Aragua terrorists from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act proclamation sending TdA to the CECOT prison in El Salvador caught fire over the Easter weekend, with the Supreme Court issuing a 1AM order on Saturday stopping busloads of TdA from deportation, and Justice Alito and Thomas issuing a scorching dissent later that same day.
We’ll cover the background of what led u...
The 4th Circuit court of appeals yesterday issued an order on MS-13 terrorist Abrego-Garcia that is absolutely horrific. It reads like a badly written soft-cover romance novel.
It is larded public policy aspirations that do not fall within the authority of the inferior trial courts, and imagines a speculative slippery slope that is nowhere to be found in the facts of the case before it.
All of that on a foundation of a horrifically...
Judge Paula Xinis, presiding over the legally nonsensical case of MS-13 terrorist Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia in his current residence at the tropical El Salvadoran prison resort CECOT, has just ordered that Garcia is entitled to compel testimony from the Article II Executive Branch about it’s internal foreign affairs discussions.
This is, of course, a grotesque violation of the separation of powers by this unelected, bla...
In this explosive video, we dive into the latest developments in the Abrego-Garcia deportation case, where the White House sharply rebukes Judge Paula Xinis’ absurd daily update demands for a terrorist detained in CECOT. We expose the Democrats’ propaganda campaign falsely claiming SCOTUS ordered Trump to return Abrego-Garcia to the U.S.—a blatant lie fueling a weak impeachment trap. Plus, we uncover how Trump’s DHS and ICE are out...
Join me as I watch the entirety of the broadcast of the meeting between President Donal Trump and El Salvador President Bukele in the Oval Office, where they discuss a variety of topics, including our good friend Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia’s current residence n the El Salvador prison resort of CECOT.
Fair warning, I’ll also be testing out my new travel studio—in the office, before I hit the road—so if there are technical...
President Trump’s legal team has been effectively exposing the insane ranting of Article III federal Judge Paula Xinis as she incompetently and lawlessly attempts to force the Article II Executive Branch to engage in foreign policy actions of her preference, for the purpose of compelling President Trump to return to the US Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia, a designated terrorist who has had a final order of deportation in his pocket fo...
Unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district trial Judge Paula Xinis is apparently suffering a Trump Derangement Syndrome-driven mental breakdown in the matter of the MS-13 terrorist Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia who has been deported to the El Salvador prison resort, CECOT.
Judge Xinis' conduct from the bench yesterday can be characterized as little else but a TDS and estrogen-mediated judicial tantrum, utter...
BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands President Trump ANOTHER Major Victory! The media and Trump critics are spinning yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling as a loss for Trump and a win for an MS-13 terrorist, Kilmar Armando Abrego-Garcia. But the truth? It’s a YUGE win for Trump and a devastating blow to their narrative!
In this LIVE breakdown, I dive into the Supreme Court’s ruling, debunking the lies from District Judge Paula Xinis and t...
In this live breakdown, we dive into the fatal stabbing of Karmelo Anthony by Austin Metcalf, exploring a fascinating legal question raised by a Law of Self Defense community member.
Was this a case of lawful self-defense, as Karmelo Anthony claims? Spoiler: The facts suggest not, pointing toward murder under Texas law.
Could "sudden passion" reduce it to voluntary manslaughter? Unlikely.
But...
