Time for AG Pam Bondi to make an emergency appeal to the SCOTUS. Especially since the Engelmayer ruling appears to be somewhat in conflict with this one:

A. Fully agree with Oddball's post above that Judicial Branch has no authority. Just ignore them.

B. Haven't seen this mentioned yet -- In January, employees of a Whole Foods in Philly voted to unionize. However, DJT recently fired the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), replaced the Acting one, and fired the chair of the NLRB - leaving the Board with only 2 members. Because a 2010 Supreme Court ruling requires a quorum of 3 to issue decisions and function, the Don has effectively halted the Whole Foods union win. Whole Foods is owned by Amazon. Also, the fired Chair has sued DJT saying he doesn't have the authority to fire her. Doesn't matter, she's still fired and the Board is DOA until it gets settled.

Seems like Bezos' $1M donation to Trump's inauguration has already paid off.

More winining!

I watched her interview on Shawn Ryan’s show and she came across a bit insincere. Both her body language and her personality. I would label here an absolute power hungry opportunist and lacking any semblance of trustworthiness.


More like she is fully dedicated to the Communist Party in China, and everything else is just a means to an end.

Trump strips security clearances from Anthony Blinken, Letitia James and Alvin Bragg

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...deral-buildings.html

Donald Trump has stripped security clearances from several leading Democrats including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The measure comes as the president continues his crackdown on his most vocal opponents and just hours after James managed to block Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the US Treasury's payment system.

Former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and attorneys Andrew Weissmann, Mark Zaid and Norm Eisen are also among those to have their clearance revoked, the New York Post reports.

The action was described as 'largely symbolic' by former Trump attorney Tim Parlatore.

However, those targeted may be unable to enter federal buildings including courthouses, prisons and law enforcement facilities, hampering their ability to carry out their official duties.

There seems to be some confusion on this matter. Either that, or there is/was more than one case pending for the matter, or perhaps I'm behind the curve.

This is from Reuters, and if Reuters could spin this any way against President Trump, they would have done so:

Judge declines to block DOGE from Labor Department systems

Feb 7 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday declined to block Elon Musk's government cost-cutting department from accessing the U.S. Department of Labor's systems, an initial setback for the government employee unions resisting his efforts to shrink the federal bureaucracy.

The temporary ruling by U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C., is the first step in a lawsuit against the Labor Department by one of the largest U.S. labor unions, which alleges billionaire Musk could obtain sensitive information about investigations into his own companies and competitors by accessing government computer systems.
Bates ruled that "although the Court harbors concerns about defendants’ alleged conduct," the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) had not shown it was harmed by the Labor Department's actions.

Yup. Two different cases. Two different judges. One is Manhattan-based U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer on the Treasury case. The Labor case is U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C.

It does seem to me that it is correct to defy this order. However, at this point, the stay is but one week, so perhaps it would be prudent to wait to see if this is extended.

These judges with their bias, interfering with the functioning of the Executive are a blight on our system and it appears they intend to be an impediment at every turn. They seem to be fine with doing as they please. I wonder how they might behave when being on the receiving end of the People doing as they please.

“No one voted for Elon Musk.” (They did however vote for Donald Trump who promised repeatedly to have Elon Musk root out wasteful spending in our government.)

And, although not confirmed, a plan to recoup
$Trillions from Congress’s members in improper payments.

One of the main tenets in my over 50 years in business has always been “Follow the money!” to truly understand what is happening.

These activist judges should realize shortly that we the people have zero appetite for their bullshit.

They pose a clear and present danger to the United States of America as demonstrated by their willingness to usurp the power of the presidency.

The people may put these so called judges on notice that we will treat them the same way we should treat terrorists trying to overthrow the government.

Make an example of a few and the rest will fall in line.
