TYLER O’NEIL: House Democrats Shoot to Remake the Supreme Court. “The bill does not just represent a well-intentioned effort to reform a divisive system, however. Democrats have proposed this measure in order to counter President Donald Trump’s appointment of three justices in his four-year term, especially after Ginsburg’s death.”
Like abolishing the Electoral College, Democrats didn’t seem to think much about remaking the Supreme Court until they started losing.
WHY MUST THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE GRIND SO SLOWLY: Or maybe they really aren’t grinding, they just appear to be?

CHICAGO’S “CENSUS COWBOY” ALLEGEDLY MISTREATED HORSE, WHICH MAY NEED TO BE PUT DOWN:
Judge David Navarro called the alleged treatment “terrible.”
“The horse doesn’t know it’s a part of a protest. The horse only knows how it’s been treated,” he said. “It would appear from (prosecutors) its treatment was criminal.”
Assistant State’s Attorney Kevin DeBoni said Hollingsworth kicked and whipped the horse to force the animal on a 7.5-mile trip down the expressway Monday. By the time it collapsed on the pavement near 95th Street, it was in critical condition, DeBoni said.
The animal was extremely dehydrated, its heart rate had doubled, it had cuts to its front legs and its eyes were “dilated to the point where they looked like cartoon eyes,” DeBoni said. “If medical attention was not rendered immediately, the animal would have succumbed to injuries sustained.”

SEQUEL TO MEL GIBSON’S ‘PASSION OF THE CHRIST’ IN THE WORKS: Actor Jim Caveziel, who portrayed Jesus in the 2004 film, returns (no pun intended!) in “Resurrection,” buoyantly predicting that it will be “the most successful film ever made.” Perhaps Mel should have a little chat with his charge about raising expectations?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Idiot Gramps Biden Can’t Stay Up Past 10 AM So This Is Totally Normal. “I want to feel bad for the fact that Joe Biden’s evil wife keeps letting him embarrass himself in public but then I remember that he wasn’t the greatest guy before becoming the medicated, senile shell of a human being that is currently running for president.”
I almost never get to say this, but Kruiser is too kind.

WHEN PEOPLE ON THE LEFT TALK ABOUT RELIGION IT’S INSPIRING; WHEN PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT DO IT, IT’S “HANDMAID’S TALE” STUFF: Is Judge Barrett’s ‘kingdom of God’ different from Obama’s?
Flashback:
What would
JesusObama do? “For with thee is the fountain of life: and in thy light we shall see the public option.”UPDATE: A reader emails: “Most commenters are focusing on Obama’s words about being his brothers’s keeper and his sister’s keeper, but the most egregious statement he made was that , ‘we are partners with God…’. Really? As a long time student of the Bible, I can’t recall God ever saying he needed a partner or wanted one.”
Yes, like his promise to create a Heaven here on Earth, this is kind of blasphemous, if you take it seriously. Or maybe he’s just a big Belinda Carlisle fan.
ANOTHER UPDATE: “As Jesus often said, ‘Let’s get the government to do something about it!'”
Fun times.

JASON WHITLOCK: BLM101: We Are Winning The War! Black Lives Matter Scrubs Beliefs.
Welcome to the latest edition of Black Lives Matter 101, Volume 8, the online class dedicated to explaining to athletes the real agenda and impact of the BLM movement.
Our class and the work of others across the internet are having a real impact.
Black Lives Matter, aka, Bigots Love Marxism, scrubbed its “what we believe” page from the organization’s website. BLM is executing a coverup. As we saw with the Nixon presidency, the coverup reveals the severity of the crime.
BLM’s “what we believe” page originally exposed the movement’s heavy Marxist influence. The page called for the disruption of the nuclear family. Let me quote it directly.
“We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable.”
That’s a Marxist concept. Libby Emmons at The Post Millennial succinctly summarized the BLM agenda, writing that BLM “espouses Marxist principles of communal children and the demise of the family structure over American ideals of individualism and family unity.”
People are finally looking beyond BLM’s catchy slogan and evaluating the actual agenda. The agenda is Karl Marx’s anti-God, pro-communism political theory. BLM scrubbed its “what we believe” page because smart people are distancing themselves from BLM.
