Tort Reform Needed

Source; SNGLR also known as Roger

Tort reform, something neither political party has seriously addressed, even though the cost of frivolous lawsuits has outraged us all. neo-liberals/democrats, especially, have been in the pockets of trial lawyers for years.

Many of us don’t really think about tort reform, but there’s a reason why law firms spend millions creating radio and TV ads asking us to file lawsuits: They stuff the wallets of lawyers and their clients. We’re all human, and it’s easy to sympathize with people who’ve been injured or wronged, but tort is a slippery slope, and too many people have abused the system for monetary gain or publicity. The tipping point may have been the infamous 1994 case in which a woman sued McDonald’s because she spilled hot coffee on herself. Since then, people have cashed in on their own clumsy mistakes or on happenstance. Other examples include people suing Jelly Belly for listing evaporated cane juice instead of sugar in the ingredients, Junior Mints for not filling the box to the brim, and starbucks for putting too much ice in a coffee.

Sadly, left-wing/democrats don’t think there’s any such thing as a frivolous lawsuit, and they’ll back any effort to take power and money away from companies. In their minds, Big Business is always in the wrong. It’s no wonder that Republicans see tort reform as a winning issue in Senate battleground states where people have grown weary of outlandish lawsuits that raise the cost of goods and services, spike insurance premiums, and create a culture of irresponsibility. Ramsey Touchberry makes the case: “The contentious legal issue is a long-standing priority among Republican elected officials... based on the premise that predominantly left-leaning lawyers abuse class-action and other civil lawsuits against companies for harm or injury.”

Tort reform has a far-reaching impact on our country, and while Republicans need to make this a national issue, it’s the states where we’re making inroads against frivolous lawsuits. “Governors and state lawmakers spend a lot of time focusing on legislation that will improve tax and regulatory climates, understandably so,” writes Patrick Gleason. “But — as is now on display in Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, and elsewhere — governors and lawmakers are also focused on the ways in which their state’s legal climate is another significant driver of the cost of living and doing business, which is why tort reform is now being debated in some of the largest and fastest-growing states.”

Tort reform has already been approved in Georgia(1), and other states considering similar measures include South Carolina, Arkansas, and Texas. The South Carolina Senate recently passed a tort reform bill that seeks to remedy rising costs in the food and beverage industry’s liquor liability insurance. In Arkansas, a new law will eliminate what is known as “phantom” medical charges in which plaintiffs could sue for a full amount even if a medical provider later reduces the bill. Several industries, including trucking, support a renewed effort to pass tort reform in Texas. A report by Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse released a study just this month showing that Texas residents pay a “lawsuit tax” of $1,725 per year due to higher costs for consumer goods.

Critics of tort reform claim victims will no longer be compensated for damages, but none of the state measures under consideration or recently passed into law prevents lawsuits against companies. They merely limit damages to what is fair and reasonable. After tort reform, injured parties may still file lawsuits and companies will be liable for damages, but we’ll have a more just system. And maybe more people will hold onto that hot cup of coffee in the drive-thru instead of taking advantage of a system that punished companies but hurt everyone else in the process.

1. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the Georgia bill will: “create a fairer legal system that protects businesses, consumers, and communities.” And the Savannah Morning News reports that “supporters of Senate Bill 68 argued tort reform is needed in Georgia to reverse a pattern of excessive jury awards in civil lawsuits they said are driving up liability insurance premiums, making it harder for the small businesses that are the state’s economic mainstay to grow and create jobs.”

TARIFFS.

For decades, the U.S. economy played the part of the rich guy at the table -- picking up the check for a global order that no longer worked in our favor. We hollowed out our industrial base. We enabled unfair trade imbalances under the illusion of diplomacy. We subsidized demand for cheap imports while outsourcing the hard questions about how our domestic workforce would adapt. Eventually, that had to stop. It was unsustainable -- financially, politically, and morally. We couldn’t keep pretending that a consumption-led economy held together by zero-interest rates and global fragility was a long-term solution. We need a rebalancing, a smarter America-first policy that pushs for fair treatment, reciprocal agreements, and a real industrial strategy rooted in technological superiority, national security, and capital formation. When you're the US -- when you sit at the helm of the global economic engine -- every policy you roll out reverberates through capital markets, supply chains, boardrooms, and governments. Words become signals. Signals become pricing. Pricing becomes pain -- or progress.

Why haven't these people been prosecuted?

Source, Fox News @StephenM

Why haven't these people been prosecuted for violation of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the Alien Enemies act of 1798? 

STEPHEN MILLER: BIDEN ADMIN DELIBERATELY FLEW IN ILLEGALS AND GAVE THEM ACCESS TO VOTE “This was not a loophole. Mayorkas created a scheme to fly illegal aliens in, escort them across the border, give them parole, work permits, Social Security numbers—and access to the voting booth. This was an attack on democracy. And California refusing to hand over illegal alien criminals to ICE is criminal in itself.” Source: FOX

This exposes the Criminal Plot by the Democratic Party to destroy the vote so, they can use it to permanently remain in office. In my opinion, the American People should utterly dismantle and end the Democratic Party for it's role in trying to destroy America and the Constitution!

BARACK OBAMA’S IVANPAH SOLAR ELECTRIC POWER PLANT HAS OFFICIALLY FAILED AND WILL BEGIN SHUTTING DOWN OPERATIONS IN EARLY 2026
 
- $1.6 BILLION IN FEDERAL LOANS
- $535 MILLION GRANT
- $600 MILLION TAX CREDIT
- MASSIVE INVESTOR WRITE-OFFS
 
The Ivanpah Solar Plant Is A Textbook Example Of Government Waste. A $1.6B Loan Guarantee From The Obama-Era DOE, Plus $600m In Tax Credits, Burned Taxpayer Cash On A Project That Underperformed And Incinerated Thousands Of Birds Annually. 
 
Now It’s Shuttering A Decade Early While PV Solar Dominates The Market. This Isn’t “Green Energy” Progress—It’s A $2.2b Monument To Bureaucratic Incompetence. 
 
Real Solutions Require Market-Driven Innovation, Not Political Pet Projects That Torch Both Wildlife And Your Wallet.
 
 
In case you are still not aware, this is the legacy of the Hard Left phony climate/environment policies and agendas, to destroy our American way of life, and leave us vulnerable to foreign enemies by crashing our infrastructure for their power and profits. Wake up and resist the Left if you value your Constitutional Freedoms! Especially remember it come the next mid-term election and three of them after it to return America to it's once greatness before the Democrats took over.

Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement, arranged in 2007 with New York, could have far ranging ramifications with the people listed in Epstein's log book list of 'clients'. 
 
They could all be considered co-conspirators simply for for using the sex trafficking facilities of Epstein's Island and other of his areas of the debauchery and pedophilia.
Especially if the Supreme Court rules in favor of Maxwell since one of their own was allegedly listed as a 'client'.
 
Consider the immense political pressure that will be put on the Court by elected, appointed, judicial officials, and other high profile people, who allegedly took part of Epstein's sex trafficking business. 
 
They could all be considered co-conspirators and get off without prosecution even if the proper evidence was submitted. They could spin everything just like the perverts in California tried to spin pedophilia into normalcy and a legitimate practice by lowering the statute penalties for adults, who have consensual sex with a minor if the offender is within 10 years of age with the victim. That could allow a 22 year old to not have many legal problems if they had consensual sex with a 12 year old.

In depth account of Operation Northwoods.

"Operation Northwoods" was a plan circulated in the U.S. government in 1962 to stage false flag terrorist attacks inside the U.S. and abroad to provoke “military intervention in Cuba”.  The plan called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit genuine acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. https://publicintelligence.net/operation-northwoods/  This is just as common today as it was back in 1962. How many other "Secret Operations" have been foisted on us? Remember this operation was in direct violation of the Smith-Mundt Act, The (Public Law 80-402) law against using Propaganda broadcasts on the American Public. This declassification gives us insight on how certain agencies of the so called "Deep State" operates outside the law.

Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Meta’s foreign relations on April 9

Josh Hawley: In 2017, the Chinese dissident Guo Wengui (Miles Guo) suddenly had his Facebook profile shut down. Now, Facebook at first said that this was a temporary glitch. Was that true to your knowledge?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: No, centrally.

Josh Hawley: In fact, Facebook shut down this dissident's page. This dissident, as you pointed out a moment ago, was living on American soil at the time. Facebook shut down that page based on pressure from the Chinese Communist Party. Is that accurate?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: That's accurate.

Josh Hawley: So here we have evidence of high-level contacts between Chinese Communist Party officials and Facebook, asking for this dissident's page to be taken down. Facebook acknowledging this pressure, saying we need to do something if we want to get the party's cooperation, the government's cooperation. And what happened next?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: Well, Senator Hawley, one thing the Chinese Communist Party and Mark Zuckerberg share is that they want to silence their critics. I can say that from a personal experience. So I think they came to the right man. This led to a series of events where eventually this man on American soil was kicked off the platform.

Josh Hawley: So in April of 2017, following these conversations, Facebook takes down the profile, bans it, of Mr. Guo. Then in September, they make that ban permanent.

Josh Hawley: Senator Rubio asked him directly, was there any pressure from the Chinese government to block his account? Was there any pressure to block his account? The General Counsel, Mr. Stretch, no, Senator. We reviewed a report on that account and analyzed it through regular channels, using regular procedures. Was this truthful testimony, Ms. Williams?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: No, Senator.

Josh Hawley: It's in fact an outright lie, is it not?

Sarah Wynn-Williams: It is, Senator.

Josh Hawley: We just saw the documentation. Facebook received not just a request, Facebook received direct pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and bowed to it and discussed it internally and planned it and then lied about it to Congress.

Argument for an Article-V

Even though Trump could use his Presidential powers to remove activist Judges, it would be better politically for the people to unite and demand our lawmakers use their power to do it;

It's time to start reforming our beliefs about the fairness and impartionality and power limits of the American justice system. And doing something about it by demanding we get our rightful power back to decide the direction our Nation will take.

The only way to effectively do that, is to demand our State Legislatures petition Congress for a States Amendment convention. It's listed in Article-V of the Constitution, and was put there by our Founders, the Framers of the Constitution, to insure the people had a peaceful way to overrule any decisions our elected and/or appointed leaders do something the majority did not approve of.

An Article-V called for by the States, requires Congress to call it then step back and allow the people to decide what they want in the Amendment. Congress has no control over any amendment proposal, or any authority to change the wording of it. However, All proposed amendments must contain approved wording by the delegates to the states called convention, the safeguards in place for a Congressional amendment convention are fully in place for a states called convention, Congress must send all proposals out to all 50 states for Ratification by vote of approval by the people tell their States through an open vote, how their States will vote on the Ratification. It takes a vote by 3/4 of the States to approve a new amendment or the modification or removal of an existing one. The basic Constitution CAN NOTbe opened or it's wording changed by an Article-V convention by either the Congress or the people. Contrary to what the politicians want you to believe, an Article-V is not a Constitutional Convention to open the basic Constitution, it only has the power to add or remove Amendments. The scare tactics you hear to the contrary are from politicians and other power brokers/elites/billionaires, who are afraid of losing their power over the people.

It's not the Judges or even Congress who should have the final say.
The Highest Authority in the United States are the PEOPLE of the United States.

Despite a widespread misunderstanding of the role of Christianity in our founding and decades of bad Supreme Court rulings, and despite the fact that the founders were uniformly opposed to government imposing religion, they did think religion, especially Christianity, was extremely important to the founding of the country. They understood that humans are created in the image of God and instilled with dignity. And if people have dignity, they must have rights to protect that dignity. This is the religious inspiration for the huge number of rights enumerated for all citizens at the founding of the republic.
 
The founders also believed that to ensure the success of the America, people needed to use those rights responsibly. Put bluntly, they must be moral. As George Washington said in his Farewell Address: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”  For a representative form of government to work, you must have a moral people, meaning a religious people.  
 
What about Thomas Jefferson, you may ask? He is held up as the poster child for the strict separation of church and state, famously informing the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 that the 1st Amendment created a “wall of separation between Church & State.”  But fact is that the purpose of Jefferson’s letter was to reassure the Baptist congregation that the government wouldn’t interfere with their church, not that religion would have no place in the actions of government. He did not think the Constitution kept the government out of the business of religion altogether. For instance, as governor of Virginia, he invited his fellow Americans to join him in prayer. Jefferson also made the War and the Treasury Dept. buildings available for church services. So, in his own political life, Jefferson didn’t act as if there were a wall of separation between church and state.  

Recognizing the role of religion in America is one thing. But does the display of the 10 Commandments in public schools go too far?  There are all sorts of buildings in Washington, D.C., with scriptural engravings, including the Supreme Court building. No one has ever considered those an establishment of religion. And there’s also a long history and tradition of monuments of the 10 Commandments on public property.   Unfortunately, in the 1970s, the Supreme Court profoundly altered how the courts think about the establishment clause. In the 1971 case of Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Supreme Court devised a new test for courts to use when establishment clause violations are alleged. The court advised lower courts to look at whether the law “has a legitimate secular purpose, does not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion, and does not result in an excessive entanglement of government and religion.” The justices thought the Lemon test would help resolve the establishment clause conundrum. It did the exact opposite. It has lived up to the parochial definition of being a lemon.

After Lemon, all sorts of things were held constitutional and unconstitutional. The court said a public school district couldn’t lend maps to a private religious school, but it could lend them textbooks that had maps in them. Government could subsidize bussing children to private Catholic schools, but it couldn’t subsidize field trips for children from private religious schools. The Lemon test was also applied in the 1980 Supreme Court case of Stone v. Graham. There the court struck down a Kentucky law mandating a standalone display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Over the last decade, the Supreme Court has steadily dismantled the Lemon test. In American Legion v. American Humanist Association, the court held that the Bladensburg Cross, a 32ft Latin cross WW I memorial that stands on public property, did not violate the establishment clause. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court, noted that the 10 Commandments have historical significance as 1 of the foundations of our legal system. 3 yrs later, in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the Supreme Court vindicated a public school football coach’s right to pray privately after games. Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion rejected the “ahistorical” Lemon.

But shortly after Gov. Landry signed the Louisiana law mandating displays of the 10 Commandments in classrooms, the hypocritical left-wing aclu sued. It claimed the 10 Commandments are not a source of American law and that having the displays would unconstitutionally expose some people to a religion they don’t believe in. A federal judge ruled in the aclu’s favor, and the state appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.  Expect the Louisiana case to be brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. Also expect more states to follow Louisiana and pass similar laws. Given the Supreme Court’s rejection of the Lemon test and its many rulings upholding public displays of religion, it is time to state unequivocally that passive displays of the 10 Commandments in public schools are most certainly constitutional.

A Treatise by Padraig Martin

Source; Padraig Martin

We owe GenZ a chance at what you had

If your primary complaint is that the Trump tariffs have hurt your 401K / Retirement funds, then you are missing the point. For decades, we traded away higher paying jobs for cheap trinkets. We did this while sending our young men and women to wars that did nothing. Retirement accounts got fatter, while job opportunities for the younger generations vanished, and body bags returned from useless engagements.

For many Boomers, when you came back from Vietnam, you had labor jobs waiting. For GenX, Millenials, and especially GenZ, they had Walmart stockboy and Dominoes delivery jobs after Iraq and Afghanistan. We spent trillions building other countries so that their young men would have opportunities. What began as the outsourcing of cheap trinkets and tee shirts has now become factories making cars, computers, and high tech chips.

Learn to code? We told our children to do just that. Those jobs are now in India.

Imagine a twenty-eight year old veteran coming home to the United States from Afghanistan with no job opportunities. While you say, "Thank you for your service," he is struggling to survive on $15 and hour in his camouflage vest at Lowes. That is fundamentally immoral.

GenZ is not suffering from a work ethic crisis. They are suffering from decades of betrayal - by older generations who traded their future for one more dollar in their retirement accounts. How can they not be angry?

Yesterday, my retirement account took a 10% hit. I am about 20 years from retirement (if that ever happens). Today, I may lose another 5%. So what? We owe it to our children and grandchildren to give them a future we have long since stolen from them. As a father, my selfish desire to retire comfortably needs to take a backseat to a correction necessary so that some day my children and grandchildren can have their own future.

They need a chance. If we are unwilling to give that to them, we - as a society - fail. Let's see what the tariffs get us. Hopefully, it gets more opportunities for our younger generations. Your stocks will recover. Their future, however, remains uncertain.

Shenanigans, or more?

Source; SNGLR

All these lawsuit shenanigans with select federal judges from "woke-crazed" districts like Boston, San Francisco, Rhode Island, and the DC Beltway are aimed at provoking a 2nd civil war. The objective is to burden Trump with so many restrictions on the executive that the country can’t be governed without declaring a national emergency. This is the left-wing/democratic Party’s desperate strategy to stay alive: to preserve the flow of taxpayer money to its minions stuffed into the organs of government like cancer cells, and the vast network of NGOs that employ its agents and spread its sickness. The neo-liberal/democratic Party is a malignancy within the republic and the money is the blood-flow that feeds it. DOGE is the chemotherapy that has starved some of the worst tumors, such as USAID. Chemotherapy is always hard on the patient. Cancer is a very tough and resourceful enemy of a healthy body, and fights back by any means available. Ultimately, it seeks to kill the body it has come to inhabit — in this case, the body-politic of the USA. We are fighting for the life of our republic against a demonic enemy.

The left-wing/democratic Party displays exactly the characteristics that human beings traditionally associate with pure evil. Above all, it lies about everything that it does. It lies, of course, in order to deceive you, so that you won’t understand how it is working to vanquish you and your posterity (your kids and their future). RussiaGate, Covid, the Ukraine War, all were marinated in lies. The lies operate through the perversion of language, so you won’t understand what is being said. For instance: that the left-wing/democratic Party is working to save our democracy. That howler persists in their every public performance.

The neo-liberal/democratic Party controls the major organs of information: The new york Times, CBs, ABs, NBs, CNNbs, NPRbs, Hollywood. They are the conveyors of lies, bamboozling the body politic to divide and conquer it. The left-wing/democratic party is a bad faith legion enlisted to defend the Father-of-Lies, America’s deep state. That information regime is failing now, along with the left-wing/democratic Party. The Deep State is failing with them. They are the parasites that kill its host. They intend to kill the republic as they go down.

The Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) is supposed to function like an immune system for the body politic, defending it against political sickness. The current organized action in the federal judiciary against the executive is a grave sickness induced by the deep state that must be corrected by the SCOTUS. We await that corrective action — a sweeping decision in reply to 100-plus lawsuits — that the chief executive is in-charge of the executive department and that his prerogatives to manage the staffing and actions of the executive agencies can’t be arrogated by federal judges. So far, obviously, the SCOTUS has not yet come to issue that decision. Many of you worry that they will fail to, because Chief Justice john roberts appears to be under the influence of the deep state. sheldon snook is Special Assistant to Chief justice roberts, and is deeply involved in the day-to-day management of the SCOTUS. snook is married to mary mcCord. mcCord has been a leading actor in the seditious operations against Trump since 2017. As Acting Attorney General for National Security in 2017, mcCord, turned james comey’s FBI jihad against National Security advisor Mike Flynn into a malicious and ultimately unsuccessful prosecution--The DOJ dropped the charges, which left/democrat -wing Judge Emmet G. Sullivan refused to execute! mcCord was also instrumental in the DOJ’s dishonest FISA application to surveil Carter Page. mcCord quit the DOJ to become a counsel to the committee in the 1st bogus impeachment of Trump. In that role, she assisted norm eisen, the Chief Counsel to committee Chairman, left-wing/dem Rep. jerrold nadler (who refused to impeach clinton on REAL charges.  eisen has gone on since that time to become the chief coordinator of lawfare operations against Trump. mcCord remains a senior fellow of the neo-liberal atlantic council, sponsored by he left-wing billionaire soros family. snook remains at john roberts’ right hand.

Do you find these connections disturbing? Do they suggest where Justice roberts may stand in the war between the deep state and the President? Tell me again who are the REAL threats to democracy!

So, if the SCOTUS upholds the arrogation of executive powers and prerogatives by federal district judges, don’t expect Trump to roll over for that decision. It may come to pass, as per all the above, that he will be constrained to declare a national emergency to vacate the deep state actors who are trying to make it impossible for him to govern constitutionally.  This, of course, will be seen by the deep state and the left-wing/democratic Party as cassus belli, an excuse to declare war against the president. We seem to be headed in that direction. There will be friction, heat, and light."--James Howard Kunstler

Again, I highly encourage write, call and generally become a major pain in their asses until they either quit (which is doubtful) or at least go through the motions of representing the interests of "we the people"!!!!!
 
Roger
-----------------------------------

I am writing to express my deep disappointment in your recent vote to pass a federal budget filled with outrageous and unnecessary spending, much of which is allocated to foreign countries rather than addressing the needs of hardworking American taxpayers. This level of reckless spending is unacceptable and an insult to the constituents you were elected to represent.

As you are no doubt aware, the newly established Department of Government Efficiency has already begun exposing extensive fraud, waste, and abuse in government spending. Your decision to support this budget, which includes billions of dollars in frivolous expenditures, raises serious questions about your judgment and integrity. Shame on you! What were you thinking when you voted for these obviously ridiculous expenditures?

This is not a matter of partisan politics—it is about fiscal responsibility and accountability to the American people. There are not just a few questionable expenses in this budget; there are billions of dollars' worth of blatant waste that should have been eliminated before this bill ever reached a vote.

I expect you and your staff to take your duty to taxpayers seriously by meticulously scrutinizing any future proposed budgets to ensure that such massive wasteful expenditures are not included. Your constituents demand and deserve better stewardship of our tax dollars.

I look forward to your response and an explanation of how you plan to prevent such fiscal irresponsibility in the future.

I would highly encourage each and every one of you to paraphrase what I have written below and e-mail it to each of your Representatives and both of your Senators!!!!
 
We must ALL engage to support President Trump and his effort to eliminate Fraud, Waste and Abuse of our tax dollars, reduce the size of our bloated government and take aggressive punitive action against our "POLITISIZED" Judicial Branch of our Government!!!!
 
Roger
------------------------------------------------- 

As your constituent, I am writing to express my strong expectation that you fully support President Trump and his efforts, including his work to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse of our tax dollars. It is time for our Republican leadership to stand firmly and publicly behind the President in his fight to restore fiscal responsibility and Make America Great Again.

We endured unprecedented executive overreach under the previous administration, which worked against the interests of the American people. Too many Republican officials sat by, allowing it to happen. Voters demand better from their elected representatives. We expect bold and unwavering support for President Trump, not silence or complacency.

Additionally, the ongoing interference from radical, activist judges must be addressed. When the judicial branch obstructs the will of the American people by blocking the President’s cost-saving initiatives, it is the duty of the legislative branch to act. If the Supreme Court refuses to police judicial activism, then Congress must take legislative action to remove those who undermine our democratic system.

The people of this nation are watching. We demand action, not inaction. Stand up for President Trump and stand up for America.

Eighty years ago this summer, the United States would assure its role as a global superpower for generations to come by harnessing its scientific, industrial and military resources under the code name, "The Manhattan Project," creating a war-winning weapon, the atomic bomb. President Donald Trump now has the means to repeat history by funding a 2025 version of the Manhattan Project that guarantees our access to all the energy we will need to power this century.

To place the challenge in context, the president is no fan of wind turbines. Grounded in the economics of business, he appreciates that the energy rate of return for the enormous investment required to build wind turbines makes little sense. He remains focused on some of America's greatest energy resources, domestic fossil fuels, making us not only capable of running our economy but independent of foreign crude and those control that spigot.

And yet, there is an energy shortage on our nation's horizon.

It's electricity. The necessary power required to run not just artificial intelligence (AI) computers but also propulsion, transportation, military needs, heating, cooling refrigeration, lighting and so on, comes from electrical generating stations -- and they are going to be hard-pressed to supply what is needed if the United States is to maintain a lead in this crucial sector. Given that AI is projected to have an impact on everything from future medical breakthroughs to battlefield victories, it is a leadership we dare not give away. However, without American generated electricity – and a lot of it is – the next generation of AI success will belong to a foreign power.

It is best to appreciate the challenge. AI data centers are projected to consume approximately two to three percent of U.S. electrical consumption this year alone, with expectations of continued growth now a given. Future projections can see AI requiring as much as 12% of America's electrical production.

Several tech companies have already announced plans for AI data centers that would each require hundreds of megawatts of power. These kinds of demands have compelled Microsoft and Constellation Energy to craft plans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Others are proposing to build new nuclear facilities from scratch to power required AI centers.

Those tens of billions of dollars required to build nuclear fission reactors would be far better spent in bringing to a successful conclusion current research on fusion power – one that harnesses the nearly unlimited power of the atom in a manner that does not create radioactivity nor threaten a "meltdown" similar to the fate of Three Mile Island in 1979.

To get there, analysts are proposing that the Trump Administration fund the Department of Energy's proposed fusion energy research budget starting at $1.5 billion dollars per annum, at least equal to what China is spending, and double America's current research and development investment. The Chinese are reportedly planning to commercialize fusion energy and outpace the U.S. by 2030 to win the fusion energy race.

It will likely require even more of a national focus and greater financial resources to accomplish this goal, but the payoff would literally usher in a new era. This author has previously described it as Trump's 2025 Manhattan Project.

Eighty years later, we need to appreciate several realities. Whoever can create unlimited energy will own the future achievements of AI as well as global leadership. The partnership of fusion power and AI is the obvious means to achieve and sustain global dominance.

Who will own the future? The answer resides with those who recognize the stakes and are the first to realize success.

It's listed in Article-V of the Constitution, and was put there by our Founders, the Framers of the Constitution, to insure the people had a peaceful way to overrule any decisions our elected and/or appointed leaders do something the majority did not approve of.
 
An Article-V called for by the States, requires Congress to call it then step back and allow the people to decide what they want in the Amendment. Congress has no control over any amendment proposal, or any authority to change the wording of it. However, All proposed amendments must contain approved wording by the delegates to the states called convention, the safeguards in place for a Congressional amendment convention are fully in place for a states called convention, Congress must send all proposals out to all 50 states for Ratification by vote of approval by the people tell their States through an open vote, how their States will vote on the Ratification. It takes a vote by 3/4 of the States to approve a new amendment or the modification or removal of an existing one. The basic Constitution CAN NOTbe opened or it's wording changed by an Article-V convention by either the Congress or the people. Contrary to what the politicians want you to believe, an Article-V is not a Constitutional Convention to open the basic Constitution, it only has the power to add or remove Amendments. The scare tactics you hear to the contrary are from politicians and other power brokers/elites/billionaires, who are afraid of losing their power over the people. 
  
It's not the Judges or even Congress who should have the final say. 
The Highest Authority in the United States are the PEOPLE of the United States.

The latest Constitutional Crisis

Source; SNGLR, who wants to remain anonymous

"The latest Constitutional Crisis precipitated by neo-liberals is a coin with 2 sides. Trump causes judges to overact, and judges cause Trump to overreact. Any resolution must be bilateral, not unilateral. Roberts could de-escalate the situation by promptly reversing some of these out-of-control lower court rulings. But instead, he would rather sit on his hands and pontificate. I've long said that the Chief Justice is living in a different reality than the rest of us. This episode proves it. There are 3 co-equal branches of government; the judiciary is not supreme. Chief Justice Marshall had the good sense to avoid a confrontation with Presidents Jefferson and Jackson. But Roberts apparently thinks this sort of statement will make everything better. But every time Roberts puts pen to paper to avoid some perceived catastrophe, he usually invites an even greater one down the road. This is a lesson he has not learned during his tenure."--Josh Blackman

The Court has no power to "assert" its own authority. The Court lacks the power of the sword or purse. A "rebuke" from the Supreme Court would do little to "cripple Mr. Trump's presidency and tarnish his legacy." As for the "legacy," if 2 impeachment trials, an alleged insurrection, and federal and state indictments didn't keep him out of the White House, then a few pages in the U.S. Reports will hardly leave a mark. By contrast, I think such a feeble effort to control Trump very well could "cripple" the Supreme Court. In the prior Supreme Court decision Marbury, Chief Justice Marshall had the good sense to not assert any authority against Jefferson. The Court did not order the Jefferson Administration to deliver the commission, as such an order would likely be ignored. Likewise, Marshall never ordered President Jackson to do anything. Marbury teaches the judiciary to avoid unwinnable conflicts with the President.


Put this conflict in perspective. Trump was able to roll over rino jeb bush, mrs. b.j. clinton,  corrupt biden, incompetent kamala harris, and every other politician that stood in his path. Does anyone think Justice Roberts can do better? Does anyone think Roberts's press statement to respond to Trump's social media post even moved the needle? Op-eds that give the Chief some faint echoes of praise within his echo chamber will not register beyond the Capital District.  Roberts's decision to punt on the USAID case will come to be a defining moment of his Chief Justiceship, and not in a good way. Roberts may not see that. Let's  hope Justice Barrett will.
