re: Watched the Shahs Press Conference- Thoughts
Posted by LuckyTiger on 1/16/26 at 5:51 pm to Hayekian serf
I don’t think helping install the son of our CIA installed puppet Shah would be the smart or best route in this situation.
Let Iranians choose their leader.
If it’s a free election, they won’t choose the mullahs. But even if they do, it’s their choice. Not ours.

Interesting Take By A Guy Who Thinks Kagan Could Concur With Conservatives Re Trans Sports
Posted by LuckyTiger on 1/16/26 at 5:18 pm
He’s not a lawyer but he is involved with studying the transgender movement.
My prediction for the trans athletes Supreme Court case is a 6-1-2 ruling, with Kagan writing a concurrence.
Kagan is by far the smartest of the three liberal justices. She's smart enough to know that Hartnett's "as-applied" argument means the death of intermediate scrutiny. She's smart enough to know that girls' safety, privacy, and opportunity in sports will be seriously compromised by a ruling that does not uphold state sex-based sports laws. She reads the Washington Post, whose editorial board came out forcefully in favor of sex-based sports. And she knows that public opinion, including among Democratic voters, supports sex-based sports. I don't expect her to join the majority--especially if Roberts assigns Alito or Thomas the majority opinion--but I can't see her signing on to a Sotomayor or Jackson dissent. Like Justice Lewis Powell, who in the Bakke case (1978) tried to split the difference on the constitutionality of racial quotas in admissions by saying that universities can take "diversity" into account, Kagan may try to chart a middle ground between the majority and the dissents. What that'll look like is anyone's guess.
Gorsuch will side with the majority. His Bostock decision was, in my view, a rookie's mistake. He was relatively new to the Court and likely anxious about the only intellectual tribunal that matters to SC justices: elite law school professors. He also probably thought--naively--that he could cabin the Bostock ruling to employment; he went out of his way to say that the ruling doesn't apply to other areas like sports and bathrooms. But he has since discovered that social policy cannot be fragmented through judicial reasoning. I think it was sobering for him to discover that just weeks later, the 4th circuit did (in the GG v. Gloucester case) just what he said courts shouldn't do, and the Biden administration, emboldened by the Gloucester ruling, cited it and Bostock in its gender identity policies.
End of rank punditry.

70% Of Americans Don’t Want Us To Intervene In Iran
Posted by LuckyTiger on 1/15/26 at 4:10 pm
According to Quinnipiac poll.
The Hill
70% oppose our intervention
18% want us to intervene
12% can’t decide what to wear everyday
It seems like the overwhelming majority of people think our two nation building projects in Venezuela and Gaza are enough.

Brainwashed in ideology.
They are fully committed.
It’s like a religion to them, a cult.
There was even a MD, an OBGYN, that refused to acknowledge that men cannot get pregnant in hearings the other day.

I think we just witnessed Tim Walz incite an insurrection. He is trying to paint ICE as the equivalent to the Gestapo, claiming they are hunting down all “people of color” and “asking for papers”. This is EXTREMELY dangerous stuff. Not only is he lying about what’s happening, but not once did he tell his constituents to stay out of the way of federal law enforcement officers. He is actively encouraging them to obstruct ICE agents, as a means to cover up the massive fraud and criminality in his state. This is 1860’s type stuff we are dealing with here, and you can see it on Walz’s face, especially at the end. He knows the severity of what he just did. The Dems are in open rebellion against the Trump administration, while harboring illegal aliens in their Unconstitutional “sanctuary cities”, which they use to steal elections. This is irregular warfare. Things are about to get real. We are witnessing something historic.

re: This news conference in MN is interesting

The police chief needs to be the mayor. He actually showed leadership and acted like a responsible man.
When he finished I said they should stop the news conference now. We don’t need to hear this mayor.
Police chief’s eyebrows were moving up and down when Frey spoke.

Wow The Beta Mayor Jacob Frey Just Abandoned Gov. Walz To Die Alone
Posted by LuckyTiger on 1/14/26 at 10:41 pm
Just a couple hours after Governor Tim Walz implored Marxists to keep harassing ICE, to “get in their faces,” to follow and film them and keep obstructing ICE operations…
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey tells the Marxists to go home, stop interfering with ICE.
He was still a lying weasel: “we can’t fight Trump’s chaos with chaos of our own” and “don’t take the bait.”
But he’s broken with the goofball governor.
Walz looks really stupid and unhinged, even more so than usual now.
