What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Unreal. The Poignant Victim. A human projectile vomit. Everyone is SO unfair,. 😥

OK, I will assert just a bitt of relative 4th Amendment SME cred here. See my 1998 graduate thesis. Cuddihy's seminal Claremont dissertation work was a principal citation resource. ConLaw eminence Leonard  Levy was his PhD Chair. 

 

 
The day I picked it up at Interlibrary Loan I thought they'd screwed up and sent me 4 copies.  Nope. Vol 1-4.

 

His 1,900 page 4-volume doctoral work is now a $280 book.

 

My Thesis:

We have all heard the phrase “hue and cry,” which most simply take to mean social clamor or indignant uproar over some public controversy. And, if ever there were a widespread, sustained, and vociferous modern “hue and cry,” the concern over and campaign against drug abuse ranks at the top, with many polls reporting sentiment ranking “drug abuse” as our number one social problem and “domestic threat.” A core question examined by this thesis is whether the “threats” posed by recreational intoxication and “addiction” are sufficiently grave as to overwhelm our law enforcement infrastructure and consequently justify abrogation of the privacy provisions of the Constitution through suspicionless drug testing programs. What of this contemporary “hue and cry” from a historico-jurisprudential perspective?

According to William J. Cuddihy’s exhaustive 1990 Claremont College Ph.D. Dissertation Origins and Original Meaning of the Fourth Amendment (cited by Justice O’Conner in Vernonia v. Acton et ux) “hue and cry,” was much more than a mere colloquial expression in the European middle ages from which we trace our American jurisprudential heritage—it was a legal term of art, one we today would equate with vigilante mob “justice” and/or deputization of the private sector for the suppression and/or punishment of wrongdoing. The 1950’s “b-movie” image of angry villagers—pitchforks, clubs, axes, and torches held high—marching en masse on Baron Frankenstein’s castle to mete out a bit of harsh summary justice comes readily to mind. Such is indeed historically accurate; formally announcing a “Hue and Cry” obligated one’s fellow citizens to participate in the ensuing unbridled pursuit and searches of suspects. Cuddihy finds the earliest official references to Hue and Cry—clamorem et uthesium—in 13th century European legal documents.

Cuddihy’s work traces the development of social norms and codified legal restraints against excessive search and seizure doctrines from ancient times through the period of the American Revolution. He recounts in minute detail the evolution of practices involving civilian-led or assisted Hue and Cry episodes into general warrantless searches conducted by formal authority, codifications of unencumbered “general warrants,” and, finally, the English and colonial applications of “General Writs of Assistance”—which were in effect Hue and Cry gussied up in Parliamentary statute, the intent of which was the augmentation of the relatively meager resources of officialdom with the enforced assistance of the private sector... [Ch 4]

...The exact words of the Fourth Amendment germane to the argument of this thesis declare that “[T]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated...” The Amendment does not add a qualifier advising that “these strictures apply only to officials of the government,” though such is indeed the popular (and mistaken) interpretation. Even had we no access to the extensive documentation of the Framers’ intent with respect to the Fourth Amendment, we know from Cuddihy and a wealth of addditional scholarly sources what the words “secure in their persons” meant at the time of constitutional enactment. They meant that authority—any authority, whether law enforcement agents or proxies acting under color of the now-repudiated Writs of Assistance and private-sector Hue and Cry—could no longer search and seize indiscriminately. Both the “textual” and the “contextual” (original intent) historical/political meanings could not be more clear with respect to the paternity and applicability of the Fourth Amendment. The citizens of the nascent United States of America prized their liberty—and the personal privacy requisite for its effective functioning, privacy breachable only upon showing of sufficient and rational cause. [Ch 5]

Tom Homan, take a hike. 

As Cuddihy makes incontrovertibly clear in the more than 1,200 pages of his dissertation devoted to the 18th century colonial political and legal conditions, revolution, and codification of the Bill of Rights, it was the explicit intent of the victorious American revolutionists who framed our Constitution to enshrine in our Bill of Rights a clear condemnation and prohibition of arbitrary and excessive searches that had for centuries taken place under color of the Hue and Cry. [Ch 4]  

BTW: See related riffs of mine.

 

ANOTHER BONUS

 

DAN BONGINO HERE!

I MUST GET OUT OF THIS TERRIBLE POSITION OF “DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI” (where I am HELPLESS to see what’s really going on), so that I can get to the bottom of this Jeffrey Epstein situation! (Kash Patel can come with me if he wants.)

I have always felt that you get the most direct line to what the FBI is doing when you are as far away from the FBI as possible, ideally in some sort of podcast studio or BASEMENT with a BULLETIN BOARD that has a lot of RED THREAD on it—and KETTLEBELLS! (How I have missed my kettlebells!)…

I can’t think straight in the FBI. I have to wear a tie and a LONG-SLEEVE SHIRT and it makes me MISERABLE and CONFUSED! I get addled, like an egg.

I need the reassuring air of my podcast studio (and my kettlebells, my most trusted sources!)

I need all of this (and, of course, Pam’s resignation) to understand what’s really happening here!

The Deputy Director’s chair at the FBI is probably the worst place or the second-worst place to find out what’s really going on. Kash and I are helpless! All the director and I can do is sit around and administer unwanted polygraphs to our resentful employees!

This is NOT the best use of my time. I should be doing REPS and GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS and FILLING MY WHOLE T-SHIRT, LIKE SOMEONE POURED ME INTO IT AND FORGOT TO SAY “WHEN,” which I can’t do here!
As soon as I’m out of this stifling environment I will find those responsible, I’m sure. We need Dan Bongino on the case!

GET DAN BONGINO OUT OF THE FBI SO DAN BONGINO CAN FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FBI IS HIDING FROM US!!

Oaf of Office update.

Donald Trump tells "His" DOJ that ANY investigations or critical media coverage of him are presumptively illegal and must be aggressively prosecuted.

   

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Trump Attorney General Pam Blondi is sworn in,

and promptly declares all DEI initiatives presumptively "criminal" pending "investigation."

  

Slate article link here.

The Department of Justice is committed to enforcing all federal civil rights laws and ensuring equal protection under the law. As the United States Supreme Court recently stated, "[e]liminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it." Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard Coll., 600 U.S. 181, 206 (2023). On January 21, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, 90 Fed. Reg. 8633 (Jan. 21, 2025), making clear that policies relating to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" ("DEi") and "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility"("DEIA") "violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws" and "undermine our national unity." Id. at 8633.

To fulfill the Nation's promise of equality for all Americans, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division will investigate, eliminate, and penalize illegal DEi and DEIA preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities in the private sector and in educational institutions that receive federal funds

Below, to my specific concern:

Sux.

 

My Granddaughter-in-Law KJ, wife of my elder Grandson Keenan and mother of my Great Grandson KAI. She loves being a teacher. Had I the money, I'd pay for her to go to the MIT Early Childhood Cognition Lab operation.

 

 

I've been trying to help with her graduate studies options. 

Will AG Blondi go after MIT?

PRIVATE SECTOR DEI TO BE TARGETED?

 

A bit a quick searching led me here forthwith, Institute for Diversity Certification (IDC), Inc

 

An E-Z Blondi bullying target?

ERRATUM: PRESIDENT MUSK

I'm not sure it's possible to overstate the threat at this point.

THE NEW YORKER: MORE STUFF

    

With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the long-held conservative grudge against affirmative action and programs designed to upend the effects of racial discrimination has transformed into a witch hunt. In the past decade, conservatives have cycled through attacks on wokeness, affirmative action, critical race theory, and the diversity-equity-and-inclusion initiatives known, now pejoratively, as D.E.I. The target has moved, but the message is the same: anti-racism is divisive and discriminatory and should end at all costs.

Today, D.E.I. is in the crosshairs. Its elasticity has made it vulnerable to a wide-ranging blame game. D.E.I. can be many things, from efforts to increase the diversity of a workplace through hiring initiatives to the creation of affinity groups that bring underrepresented workers together. It may also include workplace trainings on topics such as racism, gender discrimination, and sexual harassment. Undoubtedly, there has been ham-fisted D.E.I. programming that is intrusive or even alienating, making workers feel that they are being told what to think or how to feel. But, for the most part, it is a relatively benign practice meant to increase diversity, while also sending a message that workplaces should be fair and open to everyone…

What critiques of D.E.I. tend to imply, but never quite openly say, is that competent white people are being replaced with incompetent Black people. Just as universities were blamed for displacing qualified and deserving Asian American students with unqualified and undeserving Black students in the lawsuit that led to the Supreme Court’s sacking of affirmative action, liberals are now accused of compromising the health and safety of the public to appease the special-interest demographic of incompetent and unqualified Black workers. D.E.I. has been blamed for the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, the wildfires in Los Angeles, and the midair collision of a helicopter and a plane that killed sixty-seven people in Washington, D.C. Trump is using D.E.I. to scythe through the federal government’s disproportionately Black and female workforce and to upend programs that he and his adviser Elon Musk declare to be wasteful and superfluous. Among federal health workers, Black employees have reportedly been the focus of a right-wing “D.E.I. watch list,” which published their names and salaries alongside their alleged D.E.I. crimes…

In 1986, Gilda Radner, one of “Saturday Night Live” ’s original Not Ready for Prime Time Players, was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer, at the age of forty. She underwent a hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation, entered remission, and became the public face of a support group for cancer patients called the Wellness Community, which focussed on positive thinking. She appeared on the cover of Life magazine with the headline “Gilda Radner’s Answer to Cancer: Healing the Body with Mind and Heart.” Then she learned that her cancer had spread.

Overwhelmed by fear and despair, Radner, who had a history of eating disorders, was drawn to members of the Wellness Community who followed a strict macrobiotic diet. “They seemed the least nervous and most in control of their lives,” she observes in her memoir, “It’s Always Something.” A beautiful woman with lymphoma made macrobiotic meals for Radner and told her that the diet has “cured a lot of people.” Radner hired a live-in macrobiotic chef, who fed her rice cream, miso soup, bean curd, and puréed vegetables, and instructed her to walk in her “stocking feet on the stones in the driveway” to help her intestines. She began to spend more time alone; her friends “asked too many questions about macrobiotics.”

Soon, Radner writes, “I was in outer space—feeling pure, chewing my food, blessed by God, sure that I had cancer under control and that it was disappearing from my body.” In fact, her blood levels of CA-125—an antigen that can be measured to detect ovarian cancer—had tripled, and her weight had dropped to ninety-three pounds. When she re-started chemotherapy, she was severely underweight, dehydrated, and required blood transfusions. Radner died in May, 1989, and it’s possible that her macrobiotic experiment hastened her death…

I know this problem all too painfully well. See here also.
