Thirty minutes after the polls closed, the Iowa Caucus race was called for GOP nomination for Trump, who won 99 out of 99 counties in a unprecedented landslide victory.
More here:
ADDENDUM:
I just discovered that Trump only won 98 out of 99 Iowa counties. A Democrat voter entered the GOP Caucus at the last minute to cast a vote for Nikki Haley, overturning the result in one county by one vote. Dem for Nikki. Make of that what you will.
Below is a report on the voter fraud in the 2020 Election campaign which recounts the voting irregularities and illegalities in one tidy summation. I reprint it here because it is being ignored or libeled by the press.
As best I know, no point-by-point rebuttal, answer, or explanation exists for these allegations.
The endnotes are extensive, and I hope were transferred here accurately. If not, please tell me.
“Out of fraud no action arises.”
It has often been repeated there is “no evidence” of fraud in the 2020 Election. In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won.
Ongoing investigations in the Swing States reveal hundreds of thousands of votes were altered and/or not lawfully cast in the Presidential Election. Joe Biden needed them. On Election Night Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump was sailing to reelection with landslide leads in numerous battlegrounds.
In Georgia, President Trump was up by 12 points, and over 335,000 votes, with 56 percent of the vote in at 10:17 p.m.[1]
In Wisconsin, President Trump was leading by 121,380 votes and 5 points at 12:12 a.m., which Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted was “not a small margin.”
In Pennsylvania, President Trump was leading by 659,145 votes at 12:38 a.m., a full 15 points.
In Michigan, President Trump was leading by 293,052 votes and 10 points.[2]
The election was over.
However, precincts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee kept counting until the results reached the desired outcome, which was the opposite of the will of the voters.

Addendum to an earlier post:
Justice Thomas, writing the concurring opinion in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, refuties the dissent of Justice Jackson. He produces such gems of judicial wisdom, faceted with clarity and brilliance, that I am unable to restrict myself to one paragraph or passage.
There are worse ways to idle away an hour, dear reader, and to read may restore one’s faith in human reason and in the American way of life. Here is treasure.
This excerpt begins in Section IV of the concurrence, and omits footnotes and references for ease of reading.

IV
Far from advancing the cause of improved race relations in our Nation, affirmative action highlights our racial differences with pernicious effect.
In fact, recent history reveals a disturbing pattern: Affirmative action policies appear to have prolonged the asserted need for racial discrimination.
Parties and amici in these cases report that, in the nearly 50 years since Bakke, 438 U. S. 265, racial progress on campuses adopting affirmative action admissions policies has stagnated, including making no meaningful progress toward a colorblind goal since Grutter.
Rather, the legacy of Grutter appears to be ever increasing and strident demands for yet more racially oriented solutions.

The Supreme Court has ruled Biden’s $430 billion student loan ‘forgiveness’ plan unconstitutional.
The cases are Department of Education v. Brown, United States Supreme Court No. No. 22–535, and Biden v. Nebraska, United States Supreme Court No. 22–506.
In the first, the High Court unanimously (and, in my humble opinion, correctly) held that the plaintiffs, who were not eligible for Biden’s student loan relief, lacked standing to sue because they could not show that they had been harmed directly by it.
In the second, the vote once again was six to three, with the six Republican appointed justices voting for the Constitution and the three Leftists voting against.
The dissent, in effect, would remove the lawmaking power of congress from congress and award it to the Secretary of Education, which in this case did not even abide by its own rules and procedures of public comment, and so on, before issuing an administrative fiat.
Let us give thanks to heaven that the unjust judges, finally, are in the minority.

A crowded day for victories this day.
The Supreme Court announced the decision of 303 CREATIVE LLC v. ELENIS holding the First Amendment prohibits Colorado from forcing a website designer to create expressive designs speaking messages with which the designer disagrees.

Rejoice! The Supreme Court, thanks to its constitutionalist and originalist justices, has this day made a ruling on Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 600 U.S. ___ (2023) and its companion case Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, 600 U.S. ___ (2023), held that race-based admissions policies at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
For some reason, no news outlets give a link to the actual ruling. Here it is: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion. Concurring opinions by Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh. Dissent by Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson.
The High Court says:
Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.
Well said. Sad that this is a startling sentence in the modern day.
Accordingly, the Court has held that the Equal Protection Clause applies “without regard to any differences of race, of color, or of nationality”— it is “universal in [its] application.” Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U. S. 356, 369. For “[t]he guarantee of equal protection cannot mean one thing when applied to one individual and something else when applied to a person of another color.” Regents of Univ. of Cal. v. Bakke, 438 U. S. 265, 289–290.

President Trump never violated a single campaign promise. Not one. Hence, I am most eager to hear his campaign promises for the 2024 election, since his are the promises of a businessman, not those of a politician.
As often happens when I hear him speak, I stand dumbstruck, wondering why all conservative politicians and pundits long ago had not been saying the same.
One might disagree as to who deserves most credit for this, but I submit these events would not have taken place, nor even been imagined, in a world where Hillary took the 2016 election.
Much of this may be premature, but winning has been thin on the ground for some months, and we may need a breath of refreshment.
My comments below fold.

The Post Millennial website reports six in ten abortion clinics shut down in states with pro-life laws after Roe overturned.
The column reads, in part:
These states had a total of 71 clinics providing abortions prior to the Supreme Court’s June 24 ruling. As of July 24, 28 of these clinics remain.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme court in Kennedy v. Bremerton School Dist. yet again upheld freedom of religion.
The U.S. Supreme Court has delivered its long-awaited ruling on a case involving a former Seattle-area football coach who was fired from his job because he refused to stop praying on the field with players.
The nation’s highest court has sided with the high school football coach in the crucial First Amendment case.
Joseph Kennedy lost his job as a high school football coach in the Bremerton School District after he knelt at midfield after games to offer a quiet personal prayer. Mr. Kennedy sued in federal court, alleging that the District’s actions violated the First Amendment’s Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses. He also moved for a preliminary injunction requiring the District to reinstate him.
The High Court held that the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect an individual engaging in a personal religious observance from government reprisal; the Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression.
You did not expect this to happen during your lifetime. Yet is has. How many prayers does this answer?
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling was handed down. Roe v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833 are both as dead as all the unborn babies they killed.
Roe v Wade is overturned, root and branch, and a great sickness and grave moral evil no longer overshadows our Constitution. The battle now shifts to state by state legislatures, and will be long and hard. Gird up your loins.
If I were a pagan I would raise a shrine to Donald Trump, and to all who voted for him, for this victory is due to their election of him as president, and his selection of conservatives for Supreme Court Justices.
Nevertrumpers, tear garments and pour ashes on your head as you beg heaven for forgiveness. A tearful flood of apologies for your stiffneckedness and shortsightedness is now due.

The syllabus of the opinion reads:
The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion n is returned to the people and their elected representatives.
Those of you who find a certain beauty in the display of a clarity of logical thought will appreciate the clean artistry of Justice Alito’s opinion. It is like reading a proof of geometry by Euclid, or a theological argument by Aquinas: the triumph of clarity and light, logic and reason, over darkness, confusion, mental lapse, weasel words, piffle, jabberwocky, argle-bargle and nonsense.
It is an enjoyable read. I will be taking time off from work today to luxuriate in the pristine beauty of sound legal reasoning.
The madness from this case spilled over to every level of life, and made our public officials, and our public, into screaming, nonsense-barfing, sneering, craven, blood-drenched monsters, harpies, anthropophages, and headless blemmyes. The great idols to Moloch loomed over every courthouse.
The madness led to the sodomy culture, the woke culture, the death of Disney’s soul, and to the encouragement of corruption both on a personal and political level. Oddly enough, if one traces the course of the mental disease, there are even connections leading to such remote side-effects as inflationary fiscal policy, confiscatory taxation, wokethink hatewhitery, suicidal energy policy, public riots and arson, all which would, at first, seem to be unrelated.
It is not unrelated. Accepting an evil axiom tacitly accepts, sooner or later, all the logical outcomes implied by it.
Roe v Wade cursed this nation. It darkened the intellect of our intellectual class and corrupted the morals of people. Ordinary youths became satyrs and rapists, each one a little Don Juan; ordinary young women became murderesses, each one a little Medea. The cult of Ganymede was released, and perversion worse than Sodom ever knew, built atop of pile of tiny skulls higher than any pyramid raised by the Aztecs.
The curse is broken.
The Devil will draw the sword, and propel his slaves to violence. The battle is joined.
But the curse is broken.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme court in Carson v Makin struck another blow for the free exercise of religion.
Maine has enacted a program of tuition assistance for parents who live in school districts that neither operate a secondary school of their own nor contract with a particular school in another district.
Under that program, parents designate the secondary school they would like their child to attend, and the school district transmits payments to that school to help defray the costs of tuition. Participating private schools must meet certain requirements to be eligible to receive tuition payments, including accreditation.
Since 1981, however, Maine has limited tuition assistance payments to “nonsectarian” schools. Petitioners sought tuition assistance to send their children to Bangor Christian Schools and Temple Academy. Although both BCS and Temple Academy are accredited, the schools do not qualify as “nonsectarian” and are thus ineligible to receive tuition payments under Maine’s tuition assistance program.
The ruling held that Maine’s “nonsectarian” requirement for otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the Free Exercise Clause.
In an 8-1 decision, the Supreme Court in Berger v. North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, the Supreme Court ruled that two Republican legislators in North Carolina can join a lawsuit to defend the constitutionality of the state’s voter-identification law.
Two lower courts had rejected the legislators’ request, reasoning that the state’s Democratic attorney general and the board of elections were already defending the law, but the justices reversed those rulings.
Thursday’s decision addressed only the legislators’ right to join the lawsuit to defend the voter-ID law; it did not address the underlying issue of whether the law violates federal voting-rights protections.
The Supreme Court reached a crucial Second Amendment ruling in the case of NEW YORK STATE RIFLE & PISTOL v. BRUEN, holding that a state may not limit the exercise of a citizen’s right to carry a concealed firearm for the general purpose of self defense to those who can prove a special need for self-protection above and beyond that of the general community.
The burden of proof was on the citizen to show he had need; the license could be granted or withheld at the sole discretion of the superintendent of police.
The High Court held that no such demonstration of special need was needed. A common citizen can now enjoy the same right to carry a pistol under his jacket that the body guards of Democrat politicians and donors enjoy.
