Attorney Andrew F. Branca's weekly plain-English legal educational News and Question & Answer show on American use-of-force law--self-defense, defense of others, and defense of property, to enable law-abiding people to make better informed, more confident
The Law of Self Defense News/Q&A podcast is an incredibly informative and valuable resource for anyone interested in self-defense law. Hosted by Andrew, a knowledgeable attorney with expertise in self-defense cases, this podcast offers in-depth analyses and breakdowns of relevant legal cases. One of the best aspects of this podcast is Andrew's extensive knowledge on the subject matter. His understanding of self-defense law is top-notch, making him one of the most educated attorneys on the topic. The information he provides and his thorough explanations of self-defense cases are invaluable. Many people believe they understand self-defense law, but often their understanding is misinformed, which can have serious consequences. Andrew's expertise helps to dispel misinformation and ensure that listeners have a clear understanding of what constitutes justified use of force in self-defense situations. This knowledge is especially important for firearm owners or those who carry concealed weapons regularly, as it greatly reduces the risk of using deadly force unlawfully.
Another positive aspect of this podcast is Andrew's impartiality and dedication to providing objective analysis based on the law. In a time when political biases tend to dominate discussions around legal matters, it is refreshing to find a host who focuses on the facts rather than promoting any particular agenda. Andrew's approach is balanced and fair - he gives credit to the defense when warranted, but also criticizes them when necessary. This non-partisan approach creates a trustworthy source for legal analysis that cuts through media bias and provides listeners with an honest evaluation of the evidence.
While there are many positives to The Law of Self Defense News/Q&A podcast, some listeners may find that it would benefit from being more limited in content. Although the main focus is on self-defense law, there are occasional diversions into other topics such as trial commentary or coverage of unrelated cases. While these tangents may be interesting to some listeners, others may prefer a more focused approach solely on self-defense law.
In conclusion, The Law of Self Defense News/Q&A podcast is a highly recommended resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of self-defense law. Andrew's expertise and thorough analysis make this podcast an invaluable source of information, particularly for firearm owners or those who carry concealed weapons. The non-partisan approach and commitment to factual analysis set this podcast apart from other legal discussions, providing listeners with a refreshing and informative perspective on self-defense cases.

Yesterday anti-American paramilitary forces invade a Christian church in Minneapolis during services, terrorizing the parishioners—men, women, and weeping children. Their “justification”? One of the senior leaders of the church is employed by ICE. Leading the invasion was former CNN journalist Don Lemon, a self-identified homosexual black man, who cavorted with the invaders before, during, and after the invasion. The invaders also included various well-known professional agitators. Now the Department of Justice is looking into bringing federal charges against Don Lemon specifically and the other invaders generally.

Yesterday foreign-born anti-American agitator Mahmoud Khalil received a well-deserved set-back from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which in a 2-1 vote reversed a lower district court ruling that ordered Khalil released from immigration detention while he sued to avoid deportation ordered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Khalil had for months been leading often-violent anti-American protests at Columbia University calling for the eradication of western civilization. During this period he transitioned his immigration status from student visa to preliminary “green card,” following his marriage to an American woman soon after his 2022 arrival in the US. Secretary Rubio, noting that America has no compelling reason to allow to remain in our nation foreign nationals advocating against America's national interests, ordered Khaliil detained and deported. That initial March 8, 2025 detention set off a series of detentions and releases and federal litigation that continues to this day.On June 20, 2025, federal district trial court Judge Michael E. Farbiarz ordered Khalil released from immigration detention, a decision appealed by the government. Yesterday's Third Circuit ruling reverses that release order—though this change in status is paused for 45 days to allow Khalil to appeal to either the Third Circuit en banc or directly to the Supreme Court, so he will remain free during that period.

Two days ago, a three-judge 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel voted 2-1 to allow California's new re-districting of congressional seats remain in place for the upcoming 2026 mid-term elections, effectively ensuring that the Democrats will secure an additional five House seats. The majority opinion consists largely of 70 pages of politically partisan word-salad so commonly produced by the liberal 9th Circuit when it simply wants to lock in a win for the Progressive Fascist Democrats.The dissent by Judge Kenneth Lee, however, is ON FIRE, and exposes the racist fecklessness of California Governor Gavin Newsom—a man who appears incapable of not lying about any subject whatever—in pushing this Prop 50 re-districting through the already super-majority California.

In this video, we break down the major January 14, 2026 Supreme Court decision in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections — a 7-2 victory for election integrity and candidate rights.The Court ruled that political candidates, like Illinois Republican Congressman Mike Bost, have Article III standing to challenge state election laws governing how votes are counted in their races — even before proving specific harm to their electoral chances. This reverses lower court dismissals and remands the case for further proceedings.At issue: Illinois law allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted up to two weeks later. Bost argued this violates federal statutes setting a uniform Election Day for federal elections.Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, emphasized candidates' concrete interest in the integrity of vote-counting rules and the democratic process. The decision could open the door to more pre-election challenges nationwide, helping resolve disputes before votes are tallied and reducing post-election chaos.A big step forward for transparency and accountability in our elections.

Yesterday the US Supreme Court heard oral argument on a pair of cases involving men playing in women's sports—Little v. Hecox, and West Virginia v. BPJ.As usual the justice line up appeared to be Alito, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Roberts on the side of reason and law, and the three SCOTUS crones—Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson—as the liberal lunatics in the conversation. And once again Justice Ketanji “I'm not a biologist, how would I know what a wom

The migrant paramilitary forces in Minneapolis continue to escalate their violent aggression against the officers of the federal government, spurred on by Mayor Jacob Frey, Governor Tim Walz, and MN Attorney General Keith Ellison—in short, active insurrection has been and continues to occur in the state of Minnesota against the United States federal government.Last night the migrant forces burned down several ICE vehicles, including looting vehicles of weapons and sensitive documents—both of which must be presumed to be turned against ICE in the near future, further increasing the jeopardy to these federal officers as well as to President Trump's ability to meet his constitutional duty to see that the federal immigration laws be faithfully executed. Today Trump posted a warning on social media: “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”A violent political reaction can be expected from the Progressive Fascist Left and legacy media—but I repeat myself—if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, but has the American public finally seen enough to accept this necessary step to secure American law, order, and national sovereignty against the forces that are determined to destroy all three?

The great and powerful democratically elected Article II Executive Branch President Donald J. Trump has long butted heads with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome “Too Late” Powell, particularly criticizing Powell for abusing the Feds monetary authority to keep interest rates artificially high, and thus choking off American economic growth. Now the Trump administration has sent the Federal Reserve grand jury subpoenas regarding Powell's recent testimony to Congress regarding the multi-billion re-build of Federal Reserve buildings, suggesting that Powell may have committed perjury and be subject to criminal prosecution. In response, Powell released a video this past weekend claiming that these subpoenas were merely an illegitimate effort by Trump to pressure Powell into reducing interest rates.What's the real deal with all this? I would suggest that the real problem with the Federal Reserve isn't that Powell is stupidly keeping rates high or that the Feds building project is hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. Rather, the real problem with the Federal Reserve IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE!

America is perhaps the only nation on the planet that raises to high level judgeships so many people who are CULTURALLY FOREIGN to our nation. Why are so many Federal judges born OUTSIDE the United States? Why are ANY? Why are so many Federal judges born in the United States to NON-AMERICAN PARENTS? Why are ANY? Why do so many Federal judges MAINTAIN DUAL CITIZENSHIP? Why do ANY? And then these culturally foreign judges go forth to conduct themselves as if they—unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior district and appellate court judges—had the constitutional authority to order about our democratically-elected Article II Executive Branch president as if he were a mere clerk in their court, as if it is THEY who ACTUALLY wields the greatest authority in America's constitutional order.Did our Founders fight and win a desperate 8-year war to establish a nation in which the American people would be ruled over by dozens of CULTURALLY FOREIGN BLACK-ROBED JUDGES? I THINK NOT!

America is currently engaged in an existential war for survival against powerful forces and the 92% of the world population that wishes to wipe out the first world generally and America specifically. Currently this war is not “hot,” meaning it's not being fought with armies wielding military weapons of violence. And may we all wish that it never achieves that level.Instead, we are engaged in a “soft” existential war for survival, in which the chess pieces are being moved into position, often using subterfuge, and ALWAYS accompanied by powerful and sophisticated propaganda wielded by our enemies.America was once a master of such propaganda, especially during our American Revolutionary War for independence. In fact, today, is the anniversary of the January 10, 1776 publication of the essay “Common Sense” by American propagandist Thomas Paine, which argued powerfully for America to split from the British monarch and establish a free Republic. What I'd like to cover today, however, is a different Thomas Paine essay that better illustrates the vital importance of propaganda to the good guys winning—his publication of “The American Crisis” published at the end of that same year, on December 19, 1776.That December the peoples who would form America were in desperate straits, having experienced much military failure in their battles with Britain, the most powerful military force on the planet at the time, and General George Washington's troops were dwindling in both numbers and morale. Paine's “American Crisis” was so powerful a piece of pro-American propaganda, however, that Washington immediately had it read aloud to his suffering troops—and just days later these same soldiers would cross the frozen Delaware on Christmas night and slay Hessian mercenaries employed by the British in their sleep. That victorious Battle of Trenton would be followed by another resounding victory a few days later in the Battle of Princeton, completely turning the tide of the revolution in America's favor. America could use a bit of Thomas Paine today, as we face our own existential travails against the tens of millions of aliens invading our shores, looting our treasury, degrading our culture, and striving to obliterate our first-world existence from the face of the globe.Let's talk about the nature and vital importance of propaganda, and read through Paine's “American Crisis,” in celebration of this great American's passion and genius for the emerging republic of the United States.

The body-worn camera footage has now been released from the camera of the ICE officer who lawfully shot dead Minnesota driver Renee Nicole Good after she aggressively struck him with her vehicle. The “wife” of Renee Nicole Good, a “woman” named Rebecca Good, is now known to have been an active participant in the driver's efforts to obstruct ICE operations, which conduct ultimately led to her death. Had driver Renee Nicole Good survived, she could well have been charged and tried for attempted murder of the ICE officer she struck with her car. Of course, we don't prosecute dead people, so that possibility is moot. Is it possible, however, that the surviving “wife,” Rebecca Good could be criminally charged over this shooting? Perhaps as a conspirator, or under felony murder doctrines?

America is engaged in an existential war for survival greater even than our founding Revolutionary War. Victory is achievable, but it will require a national cultural epiphany, a re-awakening, of what America is, and what it must be to survive. The epiphany, in turn, will require breaking down decades of highly effective brainwashing that has led large portions of Americans to despise themselves and their nation, and prioritize the interests of aliens and enemies above themselves—the ultimate immorality.

Back in the day Donald Trump promised America that if we elected him president we'd grow TIRED of all the winning. And, man, HAS HE DELIVERED. In fact, President Trump arguably delivered MORE WINS for AMERICA JUST YESTERDAY ALONE than President Joe “autopen dementia” Biden delivered in four years—of course, the purpose of Biden's presidency was NOT America's interests, and it shows. That said, the single greatest vulnerabilities of America remain unsecured—although Trump is making the right moves in that direction, too.

Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota is threatening to activate the Minnesota National Guard in apparent opposition to the Federal government of President Donald J. Trump, following yesterday's lawful shooting of anti-American aggressor in Minneapolis.NOW is the time for Trump to FINALLY invoke the INSURRECTION ACT, and send in US military forces to seize control of American cities in ACTIVE INSURRECTION against the federal government!

Earlier today a person protesting against the deportation of illegal invaders of my nation attempted to run over a DHS officer with her vehicle in Minneapolis, MN. The officer responded swiftly and decisively and shot the protestor dead. Despite the wailings of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey—him of the speeches in Somali—claiming that the officer shot unlawfully, it would be difficult to envision a more lawful use of deadly defensive force. That said, just because the shooting was righteous doesn't mean the officer might not be facing terrible legal liability, given the political dynamics and the relentlessness of those who wish to erase American culture from the face of the Earth.

George Soros, the billionaire attempting, with considerable success, to destroy the civilized first-world, is in the news AGAIN, with Trump yesterday making a Truth Social post correctly implicating Soros AGAIN in his nefarious schemes to destroy white first-world civilization. It's important, I think, to understand not just the underlying details of how Soros goes about his planned destruction—the complex networks of relationships and findings—but also the broader strategy he and his allies employ.Because that strategy is fundamentally the looting of the West to finance its own destruction, the opening of the bank vault to allow its resources to be taken—and if we can close the vault door, that largely solves the rest of the problem, whatever Soros might wish to do.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, ruling en banc, has finally TRIGGERED a CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS by egregiously violating the separation of powers and subordinating the internal deliberations of the Article II Executive Branch to the whimsical and tyrannical overview of a single unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district court judge out of San Francisco—the 77-year-old Federal trial judge Susan Illson, a Clinton appointee.The majority opinion of the en banc ruling was written by, of course, of two more Clinton appointees—80-year-old William Fletcher, and 73-year-old Johnnie Rawlinson, who despite the name is a black woman of substantial BMI.A dissent, joined by several additional appellate judges, was written by Judge Patrick Bumatay, a 47-year-old Trump appointee from his first term. This dissent properly lays out the Constitutional crisis and corrosion that the majority en banc opinion has now triggered.

Hilton Hotels has embroiled itself in a public relations firestorm we haven't seen since a liberal white woman imploded the Bud Light brand back in April 2023. A Minnesota Hampton Inn—one of Hilton's many property brands—has cancelled reservations for the Department of Homeland Security (immigration) officers, as a matter of stated policy refusing to rent rooms to DHS. You'll be shocked to learn that the hotel location is owned by Indians, and that those Indians immediately engaged in a pattern of outright lying in an attempt to avert the damage they brought upon themselves.Fortunately, the people of X—notably independent journalist Nick Sortor—have once again stepped into the breach to expose these feckless, third-world, anti-American, cultural invaders of our great nation, and ensure they suffer the consequences of their decisions.F AROUND, FIND OUT!

Well, the great and powerful President Donald J. Trump is DOING IT AGAIN—he's making people's heads explode by simply and in straight-forward language asserting the national security interests of the United States above those of other nations.This time, by asserting America's national security interest in Greenland, just off America's coast, sharing our North American continent, and of vital importance to the defense of the United States. The same Greenland and surrounding Arctic waters that are currently swimming with Russian and Chinese assets..Indeed, Trump is directly affirming a reality of international relations that too many have politely ignored for too long—America has NO PEER NATIONS IN OUR HEMISPHERE, and arguably not in the entire world. As the guarantor of Pax Americana, the national security interests of America must rationally trump (heh!) those of all other nations, particularly of course those of our global adversaries, but also our non-peer allies.

The great and powerful President Donald J. Trump engaged with the press in a lengthy “gaggle” with reporters on his Air Force One flight from Mar-a-Lago back to the White House yesterday, and covered a wide breadth of topics—Greenland, Cuba, Columbia, Somalians, Chicago crime, Gavin Newsom, and more!--with deep implications for the nation and the world.

Last December, shortly after Trump's re-election the dictator of anti-American Syria was deposed and exiled to Russia. This past weekend the dictator of anti-American Venezuela was deposed and seized by American authorities.The big question? WHO IS THE NEXT ANTI-AMERICAN NATION TO FALL TO THE WILL OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP? Will it be Iran, already in turmoil? Columbia, specifically referenced by Trump as having to “watch its ass”? CUBA, a decades-long thorn in the American hemisphere?

Following yesterday's seizure of dictator Maduro from Venezuela, perhaps no Trump administration official has been as much in the limelight as has our Secretary of State Marco Rubio—who, we're told, will effectively be running the nation of Venezuela for the foreseeable future.A good argument can be made that Marco Rubio is the best Secretary of State that America has ever had—certainly the best in my lifetime.

JOIN ME AT 1 PM ET as I bring on a friend of mine who is a Venezuelan national, to share his experiences of living under the Maduro regime, how Maduro's arrest is being received by the Venezuelan community, and his expectations and hopes for the future of Venezuela!

Time to take another look at cultural Indian Vivek Ramaswamy, seeking to be elected governor of one of the most important states of the nation, Ohio. Is Vivek an example of the mythical “fully assimilated” ethnic Indian we're supposed to believe is a thing? Or is he really just another cultural Indian doing the traditional third-world thing of engaging in fraud & deceit, and the aggressive exploitation of a high-trust, first-world society to benefit his cultural Indian interests—to the DETRIMENT of ACTUAL American citizens?

It's another day living with tens of millions of third-world Indians stealing American jobs, careers, citizenship, and resources—and therefore it's another day of learning that everything Indians is based on traditional third-world fraud, ethno-fascist nepotism, and vicious clan-centric self-serving exploitation of “others.”Spoiler: the “others” being exploited are YOU and ME and EVERY OTHER tax paying (e.g., white) American citizen.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! Today is the start of a WHOLE NEW YEAR, for ourselves, our families, our nation, and our AMERICAN FIRST-WORLD CULTURE—and 2026 is going to be AWESOME!Best of all, we're starting 2026 with an UTTERLY SMASHED OVERTON WINDOW on matters of migration, culture, race, and the demonstrable impossibility of first-world and third-world peoples to live in close proximity and in competition for the world's scarce resources. The cultural battlefield is now visible to all, as well as the harsh reality that there will ultimately be only ONE victorious peoples governing the globe's ostensibly first-world nations. EITHER the third-world peoples will be expelled from first-world lands, and the proper cultural hierarchy re-established, OR civilization will be eradicated within our lifetimes. THOSE ARE THE STAKES. PREPARE ACCORDINGLY!

Like a spear to the nation's liver, the third-world migrant invasion and exploitation of our beautiful United States—under the guidance and protection of the Progressive Fascist Democrat party desperately to continue Barack Obama's treasonous efforts to fundamentally transform America into an empty third-world husk of its former greatness—the reports of trillions of dollars of monetary fraud and hundreds of thousands of instances of voter fraud are the greatest existential threat to America as envisioned and established by our Founders as anything we have ever faced. In today's show I'll detail how this coordinated attack on our United States is nothing short of an act of war, that the actions of the Progressive Fascists in pursuing this demise of our nation is nothing short of spiritual, if not technical, treason, and how only the most aggressive actions by the Trump administration can hope to save our country from succumbing to this metastatic third-world tumor in our American body politic.

Like a spear to the nation's liver, the third-world migrant invasion and exploitation of our beautiful United States—under the guidance and protection of the Progressive Fascist Democrat party desperately to continue Barack Obama's treasonous efforts to fundamentally transform America into an empty third-world husk of its former greatness—the reports of trillions of dollars of monetary fraud and hundreds of thousands of instances of voter fraud are the greatest existential threat to America as envisioned and established by our Founders as anything we have ever faced. And amidst this tremendous existential threat to America, the nation cries out: WHERE THE F IS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP?Where is Make America Great Again? Where is America First? Where is ACTION in defense of our nation, rather than mere social media posts? Where are the mass deportations? The 3 AM armed FBI raids? The same tender mercies that were extended to American citizen January 6 protestors, and even to Trump himself, and his allies, during the four years Joe “autopen dementia” Biden was in office? The exposure of America being pillaged by hundreds of thousands of third-world fraudsters ought to be the GREATET OPPORTUNITY OF TRUMP'S LIFETIME to act in service to our nation. BUT WHERE IS HE?

BREAKING DOWN the SCOTUS National Guard DISSENT!

Today we're blessed with having as our guest Dr. John Lott Jr., head of the Crime Prevention Research Center, author of the seminal book “More Guns, Less Crime,” proud supporter of the great and powerful President Donald J. Trump, and very much a guy I'm proud to call my friend.John's just published a piece in the New York Post about third-world migrant crime savaging American citizens, and he's coming on the show to talk us through the brutal reality of this criminal predation.

This past weekend America learned that Somalis who have politically conquered the state of Minnesota have effectively pirated, looted, and pillaged billions of dollars of welfare resources from state coffers—and evidence further developed that these activities were limited to neither Somalis or Minneapolis, but were being carried out by third-worlders across the nation, wherever they have sufficient political power.Of course, third-world primitives with IQs in the 60s or 70s did not so quickly devise these schemes to steal billions of dollars from US taxpayers—theyr were guided in these efforts by America's own Democrat party, which in turn received campaign contributions laundered to them from the stolen billions. This is much akin to how the money laundering of USAID and other NGOs financed Democrat campaigns, as well as how Planned Parenthood was traditionally not a healthcare or even abortion provider but a money laundering arm of Democrat campaign financing.The simple truth is that once America accepts within its borders low-IQ, low-trust, high-fraud third-worlders, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY THIS STORY CAN PLAY OUT. These third-worlders don't even have the concept of fraud—they see the generosity and vulnerability of America's generosity as an opportunity to enrich themselves that they would be fools to not exploit.

These third-worlders don't even have the concept of fraud—they see the generosity and vulnerability of America's generosity as an opportunity to enrich themselves that they would be fools to not exploit.

As I've long noted, America—indeed, the entire first-world—is engaged in an existential war for survival. The key weapon being used against us is biological and cultural in nature—to drown our high-IQ, high-trust, low-fraud, first-world cultures under hundreds of millions and billions of low-IQ, low-trust, high-fraud, third-world cultures. To conceal the nature of this biological and cultural warfare we are being propagandized to believe a profound lie—that all peoples across the globe are essentially identical and interchangeable widgets, that any Indian or Pakistani or Africa or Aboriginal can be plugged into a first-world nation in place of an American or Brit of German, and the recipient nation will be as innovative and productive and cohesive as if the swap had never occurred.

Just days before Christmas, Vivek Ramaswamy once again chose the holiday season to denigrate America, its culture, and its people, repeating his execrable performance of December 26, 2024. This time, however, Vivek denigrated America, its culture, and its people not in a lengthy X post, but in a lengthy speech at AmericaFest, a purportedly conservative political event put on by Turning Point USA, the organization established by the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. The message Vivek sent to America and Americans? There's nothing exceptional about being an American, literally anybody can do it, including billions of third-worlders, and America should simply accept that any recent third-world arrival onto America's shores who mouths a few American ideals is as entitled to the legacy and resources of America as is any other American citizen—at the cost, of course, of those scarce resources now no longer being available to those other American citizens. The argument conflates the notions of technical or paperwork American citizen, on the one hand, and cultural American citizen, on the other, conflates the abilities and interests of third-world versus first-world cultures, and cheapens the deeply-loved notion of American as something exceptional and precious that was founded and built and sustained by the blood and sacrifice of generations of American forbears, rather than by billions of foreign nationals. I, for one, object to Vivek's cheapening of America, its culture, and its people, I object to culturally Indian Vivek Ramaswamy seeking to govern over culturally American citizens, and I object to the infestation of America by tens of millions of third-worlders, including far too many millions of purportedly “legal” Indians.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! With America making seizures of enemy ships on the high seas, and given the resource constraints of even our nation's great naval forces, there is talk once again about Congress authorizing the great and powerful President Donald J. Trump to issue Letters of Marque—a permission slip to commit acts of legal piracy!We'll also cover a variety of other fun topics on today's Friday members-only show!

JUSTICE! Wisconsin Judge Hannah “Diner” Dugan, who took it upon herself to violate federal law in hiding an illegal alien in her court—to face charges of spousal abuse—and helping that alien to escape the courthouse to the street where agents finally caught him, has been CONVICTED OF A FELONY GOOD FOR YEARS IN PRISON.

The great and powerful President Donald J. Trump has ordered ramped efforts to denaturalize paperwork US “Citizens” who may have committed fraud in securing their American citizenship.The path to naturalized US citizen is a long one, with many steps in the process—and millions of third-world migrants who have progressed to naturalized citizenship come from cultures in which guilty-free fraud is not only accepted but considered a normal social function.Millions of these people are US citizens only in the most superficial and technical sense, are not and never will be assimilated cultural Americans, and maintain their sole cultural affinity to their nation and culture of birth.Every one of them needs to be returned home, along with their families. America for genuine cultural Americans!

Another day, another federal appellate court victory for the great and powerful President Donald J. Trump, and another feckless ruling by an unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court Biden judge who was raised to the federal bench only AFTER Trump's re-election but before he was sworn in has been hurled onto the rubbish heap of political history. Once again Trump's authority as the democratically elected Article II. Executive Branch President and Commander in Chief has been re-affirmed, after the unelected DC District trial court Judge Jia Cobb (Biden, Nov. 12, 2024) had taken upon herself to order Trump about as if he were a clerk in her court. A three judge DC Circuit court of appeals panel—consisting of two Trump judges and one Obama judge—UNANIMOUSLY found that Cobb's November 20 order enjoining Trump from deploying the National Guard to crime-torn Washington DC was a grotesque overreach of her limited Article III authority and stayed that order.

A 2-1 Second Amendment decision out of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has just concluded that “We The People,” as envisioned by the Founders in our US Constitution, includes ILLEGAL INVADERS of our nation. This conclusion was unnecessary to the central legal question in this case—whether the illegal in the case was properly found guilty of being in unlawful possession of firearms, consistent with a federal statute that makes it unlawful for illegals to have guns—and so the unnecessarily far-reaching conclusion that illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” seems likely intended purely to poison the well on far broader politically contentious issues, such as birthright citizenship. This suspicion is not lessened when one realizes that the two-judge majority that concluded illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” were both appointed by Obama. In contrast, the single dissent goes to great lengths to explain why “we the people” must necessary exclude those who have invaded our nation unlawfully—and that judge was appointed by Trump.

This conclusion was unnecessary to the central legal question in this case—whether the illegal in the case was properly found guilty of being in unlawful possession of firearms, consistent with a federal statute that makes it unlawful for illegals to have guns—and so the unnecessarily far-reaching conclusion that illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” seems likely intended purely to poison the well on far broader politically contentious issues, such as birthright citizenship. This suspicion is not lessened when one realizes that the two-judge majority that concluded illegals fall within the scope of “we the people” were both appointed by Obama. In contrast, the single dissent goes to great lengths to explain why “we the people” must necessary exclude those who have invaded our nation unlawfully—and that judge was appointed by Trump.

OK, I've had enough with this James Fishback guy running to be Florida Governor now that Ron DeSantis is term-limited out. Tomorrow I'm doing a TAKE DOWN live stream on this character who's suddenly all over my X feed. I must admit, I don't actually have anything NEGATIVE to say about James, as I don't really KNOW anything about him. But he's saying a lot of the right MAGA things, and before I jump on the Fishback bandwagon I want to make sure I'm not stepping on some political landmine. So, this is your chance, people, to dissuade me from the Fishback fandom. Get those skeletons out of the closet, polish up whatever shit it is you think you have to say about him, and join me at 11 AM ET tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16!Fair warning! Bring receipts or be called out for NO RECEIPTS!(Full disclosure, in the absence of any credible Fishback negatives, I'll probably just play a bunch of the videos he's been posting on his X channel--they're pretty compelling stuff, and I'll EXPLAIN WHY.)Episode 1116.

An mass shooting event occurred yesterday at Bondi Beach in Australia, by a father-and-son killing team. As usual, the event has led to a tsunami of poorly-reasoned opinionating on social media—and most of that I'll leave to the dummies to wrestle with.In THIS show we'll focus on the LEGAL DYNAMICS of defense against this kind of mass attack. What is legally permissible, and why? How is this legal different from a more traditional deadly-force self-defense scenario, and what additional tactical options does it make lawful that otherwise might be criminal? And MORE!All of this will, of course, be from the legal perspective of AMERICAN use-of-force law, as if the event had tragically occurred in the United States rather than Australia.

A repeated pattern among our Trump Deranged unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior, federal district trial court judges is that the start presiding over cases with an anti-Trump decision already determined and then spew world-salad to achieve that outcome. More often than not, their feckless legal reasoning gets checked by their bosses on the relevant federal court of appeals, which then in the normal process of such things returns the case to the original trial judge for further litigation—ONLY to have that lower fabricate a SECOND world-salad order achieving the same pre-determined anti-Trump goal. This week we've seen this cycle happen yet again with Federal Judge Indira Talwani and the Planned Parent abortion case. Congress had passed a statute this year that sharply constrained financing for federally-funded abortions, Planned Parenthood sued in federal court in Massachusetts, and Judge Talwani has repeatedly issued world-salad orders freezing that statute—and has been repeatedly checked, again this week, by the court of appeals.

Just a month after rogue pro-invader Federal District Court Judge Jeffrey Cummings (Biden 2023) ordered the release of hundreds of illegal invaders detained by immigration authorities based on a 2022 Biden-agreed-upon consent decree about warrantless arrests of illegals, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals panel with two Biden and one Trump appointed judge agreed to stay that order, keeping the invaders detained. A particularly interesting facet of this case—ignored by the two Biden appellate judges, but driving a forceful dissent by the Trump member of the panel—is whether it can even be lawful for a consent decree entered into by a prior administration to bind the executive authority of a later administration. Such “zombie” consent decrees certainly appear profoundly undemocratic, as they prevent the American people from effecting political change through electing a new administration with preferred policies.

The wildly Trump Derangement Afflicted unelected, black-robed, tyrannical, inferior federal district trial court Judge Count Boasberg has been checked hard by the DC Court of Appeals, following an ABSOLUTELY SCATCHING filing by the Trump administration kindly asking the judicial adults to step in and check this mad trial court judge.

The great and powerful President Donald J. Trump and his MAGA political colossus is finding itself bitten around the ankles by a tsunami of propaganda issued from the foul bowels of the Progressive Fascist Democrats. In addition to the recent “Sedition Six” video that we've covered at length, the same Leftist propagandists have issued false narratives around Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Trump's chief of staff, and more—all with the singular purpose of brainwashing the American public into believing that it is Trump, rather than themselves, driving instability and disorder through our American body politic. I've also some insights on breaking immigration news, American race matters, and more!

The great and powerful Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth has launched a sedition investigation into the seditious conduct of Senator Mark Kelly as captured in his seditious video urging sedition amongst American military forces. Could Kelly be recalled to active duty, tried for sedition, and convicted? Yes, yes, and maybe—but the process alone would be worth the effort, right January 6 protestors? James Comey and Letitia James have also had their indictments dismissed by yet another federal Progressive Fascist judge. Is that it? Have they won? Is it over? The good news: Not hardly. Time permitting I'll also share and comment upon an interesting video from Scott Adams (Dilbert, etc.) breaking down various levels of consciousness and awareness, knowledge that can help you defend yourself against the vile and corruptive propaganda of the Progressive Fascist Left.
