JOHN REDDICK: SCOTUS dragged their feet for over 6 months, then deliver a flurry of 3 or 4 huge decisions in a few days - what changed?

OHIO 🇺🇸🦅 A video is going viral of a man shooting down a massive American flag hill.

🚨BREAKING: California will raise gas tax by 50 cents a gallon.

Wonderful.  This is one reason why people are moving out of the state.  Commodities are cheaper in other states.  Not all commodities but most.  Restaurant food prices are insane in other states.  In California, like Los Angeles, you can find tasty and inexpensive food.

 

INCREDIBLE: Coeur d'Alene, Idaho banned crosses for the 4th of July parade, and look what happened

POLISH MAN HUMILIATES AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN POLAND. WHOA

The Signers of the Declaration of Independence were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more.

Thank you to Tom Luongo.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons in the Revolutionary Army, and another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.
Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later, he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’” ~Michael W. Smith

Hans-Hermann Hoppe on the 10 Commandments, Libertarians, and lasting peace

PETER ST ONGE: So the Deep state is effectively passing 98.8% of our laws numbering roughly 11 per day

The Supreme Court just gutted the administrative state, the unelected deep-staters who have usurped the will of the people and left us with a rabid, mutant federal government no sane voter ever wanted.  Last Friday, the Supreme Court released a ruling Loper Bright vs. Raimondo that dethroned the so-called Chevron deference, a legal doctrine that for 40 years effectively forced judges to assume that government bureaucrats have whatever authority they want.  Since the 1970s, Chevron had become a keystone of the Administrative State cited by 70 subsequent Supreme Court decisions and over 17,000 rulings in lower courts.  Now it is gone.  The ruling itself involves a fishing boat that was forced to pay for regulator ride-alongs at a cost of $700 per day which would have bankrupted them.  So they sued, saying the agency did not have Congressional Authority; they just made up the rule.  The court agreed.  The larger issue is whether Congress makes law or do unelected bureaucrats make law?  This ruling says Congress makes laws, as it says in the Constitution.  The New York Times was positively horrified, mourning that the ruling "transfers power from the Executive branch to Congress."  In other words, it transfers powers from the unelected bureaucrats to the elected politicians, who actually have to answer to voters.  This matters because Federal bureaucrats currently spawn roughly 4,000 rules per year, which all have the force of law, compared to 50 actual substantive laws passed by Congress every year.  So the Deep state is effectively passing 98.8% of our laws numbering roughly 11 per day.  This is partly because the vast majority of rules are unpopular and would never be able to pass Congress.  So try running for election banning gas stoves or raising the gasoline tax, and see how far you get.  It's much easier to pass the buck to some bureaucratic Rando who cannot get fired.  The Loper ruling will lead to hundreds or possibly thousands of challenges to rules that were made without Congressional authority which is roughly all of the rules.  These range from environmental mandates and diversity to OSHA and the SEC, and they include the more totalitarian parts of the deep state.  For example, the COVID era tyranny never could have happened without Chevron deference.  No 6 ft distancing, no bans on going to church, no vax mandates, leaving your loved ones to die alone, none of those would ever have been passed by Congress.  All are now illegal.  Same for self-defense and the Second Amendment, where Rogue bureaucrats have banned bump stocks or directed banks to effectively close down gun shops again without Congressional authority.  And, of course, the border where Congress has famously passed nothing the entire open borders, human trafficking industrial complex is made of rules the administrative state made up.  In short, Loper reins in the rogue bureaucrats, who are currently running our country into the ground.  We've already seen fruits.  Two weeks ago, the Supremes struck the ban on bump stocks, and last week saw a separate case where the Supremes ruled the SEC cannot use its own in-house tribunal to impose fines which seems obvious given courts are supposed to be impartial but that was Chevron deference for you.  As for the economy, reining in the totalitarian administrative state means less crony regulation, less more jobs, more growth hiring, incomes, and less inflation.  It will take time for Loper to clear out the overgrowth clogging our economy, but the healing has begun. 

And we've spoken several times before about NATO's continued escalation in this Ukrainian proxy war, and we appear to have reached new dangerous levels.  So after the US began sending these long-range missiles and green lighting the targeting of Russian territory, the Russians seem to have looked for ways to begin to retaliate.  So they're sending their warships to Cuba to send the signal with their nuclear weapons drill.  And now, they are announcing that they're going to ship weapons to any state in conflict with the West, much like the West is doing in Ukraine.  Then we see this attack on beach goers in Crimea with this American attack Ms and cluster munitions warheads. What I hear now from Moscow is there's massive pressure building up to effectively say, "No more."  And seeking to restore deterrence by looking at ways to retaliate.

How do you read the situation in terms of what happened in Crimea?  How serious is this, and instead of calming things down the United States seems to be on the verge of greenlighting contractors to go into Ukraine as well.  Where do you see all of this heading?

1:35, MACGREGOR.  A few fronts first is a decision by the attackers was always a bad one because they have a range of probably a hundred eighty miles or more depending on the Target and what occurred Crimea was total of five missiles were fired could have been four maybe but I think it was five all but one missile was shot down which tells you something about the quality Russian Aaron missile defense it's pretty substantial but the last missile instead of being shot down seems to have been damaged and effectively knocked off course so that is Warhead exploded over the Black Sea and near the beach that you were talking about now the cluster Munitions that were inside were not ignited or detonated for some reason they fell harmlessly to the ground so something interrupted the missile something disrupted the mechanics of the Warhead and even though people were killed and injured we could be very grateful that those cluster Munitions those little bomblets did not detonate because they are very lethal and they would have done infinitely more damage than we witnessed so I guess the point is it was not intentional to do the damage that was done two people on the beach in Crimea however the damage was done one way or the other and it doesn't make a great deal of difference to you if you're Russian if you were killed by a bomblet that explodes or doesn't.  The bomblet is a bomblet that came from the United States.

Eisenhower, anti-German?

ROMAN BYSTRIANYK: New Jersey passed a law in April 1911 that, like other laws, called for the creation of a medical board to determine who should be sterilized.

Why you should never blindly follow the law, which is passed by people who have their own biases, interests, and insane notions.
New Jersey passed a law in April 1911 that, like other laws, called for the creation of a medical board to determine who should be sterilized. “... hereby created the “Board of Examiners of Feeble-minded (including idiots, imbeciles, and morons), Epileptics and other Defectives,” whose duty it shall be to examine into the mental and physical condition of the feeble-minded, epileptic, certain criminals and other defective inmates...” [Harry Hamilton Laughlin, DSc, Eugenical Sterilization in the United States, December 1922, Psychopathic Laboratory of the Municipal Court of Chicago, p. 24.] [Feeble-Minded at Vineland Colony in New Jersey. “They have the bodies of adults but the minds of children. It is not to the interest of the state that they should be allowed to mingle with the normal population; and it is quite as little to their own interest, for they are not capable of competing with people who are normal mentally.” (1918)]

"typhoid, smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria . . . the chance is very remote indeed that any of them will ever again assume sufficient importance in the mortality tables seriously to affect the general death rate.” ― Dr. Louis Dublin, 1935.

BEFORE there was the DTP. BEFORE there was the MMR. England's whooping cough and measles deaths were down over 99% BEFORE the vaccines in 1957 and 1968. “All of the old menaces like typhoid, smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diphtheria have become minor causes of death. The chance is very remote indeed that any of them will ever again assume sufficient importance in the mortality tables seriously to affect the general death rate.” ― Dr. Louis Dublin, 1935.

GREG REESE: Chevron deference: It's how OSHA was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab or be fired. No law gave them that authority. They just made it up.

Greg Reese on the Chevron Deference

It's how OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was able to decide that everyone who worked for a large company had to get the jab or be fired.  No law gave them that authority.  They just made it up.  

It's how the ATF, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, was able to decide a piece of plastic was a machine gun.  

It's how the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, the NRCS, is able to decide that a small puddle is a protected wetland.  --Greg Reese

1:40. A family fishing company, Loper Bright Enterprises, was being driven out of business because they couldn't afford the $700 per day they were being charged by the NMFS, the National Marine Fisheries Service to monitor their company.  The thing is federal law doesn't authorize the NMFS to charge businesses for this.  They just decided to start doing it in 2013.  Why did they think they could get away with just charging people without any legal authorization?  Because in 1984 in the Chevron decision, the Supreme Court decided that regulatory agencies were the experts in their field, and the courts should defer to their interpretation of the law.  So for the past 40 years, federal agencies have been able to interpret laws to mean whatever they want, and the courts had to just go with it.  It was called "Chevron deference," and it put bureaucrats in charge of the country.

It's how out-of-control agencies have been able to create rules out of thin air and force you to comply, and the courts had to simply defer to them because they were the experts.  

Imagine if your local police could just arrest you for any reason, and no judge or jury was allowed to determine if you'd actually committed a crime or not, just off to jail you go.  That's what "Chevron deference" was.  It was not only blatantly unconstitutional, it caused immeasurable harm to everyone.  Thankfully, it's now gone.  We haven't even begun to feel the effects of this decision in the courts.  It will be used for years to come to roll back federal agencies, and we'll all be better off for it.  And that's why politicians and corporate media are freaking out about it.

Spike Cohen,

In an era of bad news, the US Supreme Court has brought us some good tools that we the people can wield to work on restoring America.  Happy Independence Day.  

Reporting for Infowars this is Greg Reese. 

As a follow-up, please read this by James T. Moodey @ Lew Rockwell.  Looks like there was momentum building for this at least since last year, January 2023.  Check out Judge Napolitano's essay, titled, "A Government by Experts," January 12, 2023.

Tom Luongo has got his claws on this as well at least since March 23, 2024, 

This is yet another example of the desperate need for the Supreme Court to take up the Chevron Deference and strike it down. The agencies should not be making law. That’s Congress’ job.

And I don’t care if Congress is allergic to doing its job, new emission regulations should not be in the hands of unelected bureaucrats run by chiefs who are chosen by the current political party. 

MANOOKIAN: we're in the middle of World War 2, and Congress passes something called the Public Health Services Act, 1944?

Leslie Manookian.   

🔥"[T]his Chevron case is huge...because it means that the courts will no longer defer to the administrative agencies or to these federal agencies...they actually have to be held accountable and prove in a court of law that the rules that they are issuing are based on science..." Writer, filmmaker, former Wall St. business executive, and President of the Health Freedom Defense Fund (@theHFDF) Leslie Manookian (@LeslieManookian) describes for Brandon Bushong of TrialSite News (@TrialsiteN) why the Supreme Court overturning the long-standing Chevron doctrine is such a big (positive!) development.

Transcription of the clip: "It's a huge, huge case. So there's been a Supreme Court case called Chevron versus Natural Resources Defense Council that's been in place since 1984, and this has been controlling law across the entire country. What it says is that if so when we sued CDC, the court, when we sued CDC over its mask mandate, and defeated it, the court is required to give deference to the agency if there's some question about, interpretation of the law. Okay? And that's not what happened in our case because we argued that the CDC had overstepped its lawful, authority under the Administrative Procedure Act. "But, basically, there was a case called Loper Bright Enterprises in front of the Supreme Court. And what happened was EPA ordered this...fishery group, Loper Bright Enterprises, to take on board an observer and pay for him or her, someone who would ensure and this is a small group, small business, ensure that they are not overfishing, and they had to pay for it. And so, basically, it was this massive overstepping of authority. So what Chevron doctrine says is that if there's an issue before the courts involving a federal agency, then the courts should defer to the expertise in terms of interpreting...the intentions of Congress, but also the expertise of the agency itself. And, therefore, its rules should be upheld. "Well, the Supreme Court right now does not seem very favorably inclined on that, and there have been several cases where the power of the agencies have been overturned in the last couple of years. There was one...when the CDC issued the eviction moratorium in...I don't know if it was 2020 or 2021, that was overturned. "And so, basically, this has huge implications for us because what's been happening for the last 40, 50, 60, 70 years, really since 1944 when the Public Health Services Act was implemented in the middle of war, which I find very bizarre. You know, we're in the middle of World War 2, and Congress passes something called the Public Health Services Act, which grants all of this power to the CDC, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the FDA. And, what's happened now as a result of this overturning of Chevron is that they're going to be held accountable. They're gonna be held to a higher threshold than they were because they've been given all this deference for the last 40 years. And many critics of the Chevron deference is, their opinion is and it and I agree with this, that what's happened as a result of Chevron is that...a fourth branch of government has developed, the administrative state. "All of these agencies are what make up the administrative state, and they are all underneath the federal, branch of government. So, you know, we've got the Executive, the President. You've got the Legislative, Congress, and you've got the judiciary, all the courts. But now you've got this fourth branch, this huge administrative state, which is unelected and unaccountable to the electorate. And they sit under the President, and this is exactly what happened. When President Biden was elected and inaugurated, in his first full day in office, he instructed the CDC to issue the mask mandate, and they dutifully did so in one week. "This was not something that Congress had told them to do or delegated power to them to do. It was purely an administrative and executive order. And so what's happened is the growth of the administrative state has really destabilized the balance of power in our system and given way, way too much power to the executive. And so this Chevron case is huge for us because it means that the courts will no longer defer to the administrative agencies or to these federal agencies whether they're health or environmental or anything else, they actually have to be held accountable and prove in a court of law that the rules that they are issuing are based on science, fact, and have a true public interest. "This is very, very big, and it has an impact for all of us in the Health Freedom arena."
