San Francisco is being stingy here. Why limit it to $5 million? It needs to be AT LEAST $25 million.

For those arguing that the First Amendment somehow immunizes from prosecution those who protest at the residence of a Supreme Court Justice, you’re mistaken for many reasons, some of which are articulated in this ruling from the Second Circuit. fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/

Even though those protests are illegal and implicitly threaten the justices and their families, NOT ONE of the hundreds (if not thousands) of people involved in these protests has been arrested or charged.

I’d love to get to weigh in on this. By mistreating Lt. Ridge Alkonis and then refusing to act on his prisoner-transfer application, the Kishida Administration seems to be suggesting that number should be zero.

Look, I’m a capitalist.
I have no problem with companies making reasonable profits.

This is exactly what I’m talking about: this “enlightened” class of people will call you a good parent if you respond to pediatric gender dysphoria by having your child surgically mutilated. And if you question that practice, they’ll accuse you of being “pro teen suicide.”

Stanford cannot credibly refuse to release the footage (and otherwise investigate) in light of this claim. And if it turns out to be true, the school will have to take action against the faculty and students who orchestrated this attack, and then vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
Quote Tweet
As Judge Duncan was on his way to the classroom for the event, students lined up on both sides of a narrow hallway yelled vicious things at him, including "we hope your daughters get raped."
Stanford Fed Soc president Tim Rosenberger just revealed that on podcast recording.

Is the juice worth the squeeze? Is whatever populist attention you’re getting domestically from keeping Alkonis in a Japanese prison worth weakening Japan’s standing with the American people? I strongly suspect it is not. The sooner you realize this, the better. #BringRidgeHome

What does this say about how U.S. military families are treated in Japan? We need to address this issue as we reconsider our Status of Forces Agreement with Japan. would take care of things like this if the tables were turned, and we should be no less vigilant.

18. The status quo has for too long let members of Congress (of both parties) have their cake and eat it too—often at great expense to the American people. In the immortal words of Lord Farquaad in the first Shrek movie, “that is a sacrifice [they’re] willing to make.” No more!
