    The guy who draws “South Park” is a genius.  He predicted early-on that Traitor would take over the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and he looked up all the web domain names (KennedyCenterPerformingArts.com, etc) and bought up all the domain names like “drumpfKennedyCenterPerformingArts.com”, and he now controls them and since its an international register, Traitor can’t do a damn thing about it!  This is brilliant!!

    Conspiracy Theory here.
    Remember the formation of the Axis Powers before WWII?  hitler would take northern Europe and russia, mussolini would take southern Europe and Africa (can't remember where the Middle East was in those plans) and Hirohito would take the Far East, China and the Pacific rim...
     :|
     
    Traitor takes a long prep for a Venezuelan invasion, then after a four-hour phone call with putin, pulls the trigger, and even mentions that Cuba may be in the crosshairs (he also mentions that US boots on Venezuela is a possibility).  TSMC is building a huge semiconductor facility in AZ (a worry of the current administration, both rightly and rare).  
    If the US completely abandons Ukraine, and China invades Taiwan and the US allows it, this year, then I'd say this "theory" has legs:  Axis II, where russia controls Europe, China controls the Far East and Africa (don't know where India is in these plans), and vancey-pants controls the western hemisphere.    
    The world order may be shaken up not like it has since WWII.  We live in interesting times.

    In the current circumstances, I have no trouble believing it’s a possibility. Probably to stem the tide of all the fentanyl we’re sending South. Has nothing to do with our extensive resources.

    Tuesday (1/6) TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION

    'A federal appeals court yesterday ruled that the Trump administration could not make drastic cuts to the federal funding supporting much of the country’s medical and scientific research, reaffirming a lower court’s ruling. Zach Montague reports for the New York Times.

    197 plaintiffs on Friday filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the suspension of casework by the Homeland Security Department and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is not authorized by immigration or administrative law. Brittany Gibson reports for Axios."

    Friday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    "A federal judge yesterday dismissed a lawsuit demanding that the U.S. government conduct emergency rescues of Palestinian Americans and family members who are trapped in Gaza. The judge said that she lacked the power and tools to evaluate “delicate foreign policy decisions” belonging to the government’s Executive branch. Jonathan Stempel reports for Reuters.

    Five Democratic-led states yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for freezing $10 billion in funding for child care subsidies, social services, and cash support for low-income families, asking a federal judge to declare the pause illegal and restore the money. Minho Kim reports for the New York Times."

    And this from the oil company meeting today:
    Bloomberg

    Thanks, but maybe no thanks? Donald Trump this week quickly pushed aside alleged drug trafficking in favor of oil revenue as his main reason for launching a surprise attack on Venezuela and renditioning President Nicolas Maduro. The US president has repeatedly pledged that oil majors would be stepping over each other for a piece of the action.

    But they aren’t that excited. Trump convened almost 20 industry representatives at the White House Friday, predicting they could come to an agreement “today or very shortly thereafter” to restart operations in the oil-rich country. But the executives expressed caution about reentering the impoverished South American nation, let alone spending the $100 billion it might take to revive its oil production. Exxon Mobil Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods, for example, said Venezuela is currently “uninvestible.” David E. Rovella

    Monday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    "A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from enforcing part of an executive order directing the government to withhold federal election funds to states that do not alter their voting procedures in line with Trump’s demands. Zach Montague reports for the New York Times.

    A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from freezing $10 billion in welfare funds planned for five Democratic-led states. Rachel Bluth reports for POLITICO.

    A federal judge on Saturday paused a Trump administration policy halting an immigration program that allowed migrants from some Central and South American countries to reunite with their family members in the United States while awaiting visas. The order extends the “family reunification parole” status of immigrants who were set to see it expire on Wednesday. Adam Sella reports for the New York Times."

    Tuesday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    "A federal judge yesterday issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration, allowing the Revolution Wind project to resume construction off Rhode Island’s coast. Revolution Wind has "demonstrated likelihood of success on the merits of its underlying claims" and is "likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of an injunction," the judge said. Ben Geman reports for Axios.  

    Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) yesterday filed a lawsuit against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, claiming that Pentagon proceedings to demote Kelly from his retired Navy captain rank violated his free speech rights because he urged U.S. service members to reject unlawful orders. Mike Sarcelle reports for Reuters.  

    The State of Minnesota and the State of Illinois yesterday filed separate lawsuits against the Trump administration, alleging that the administration is carrying out coercive immigration enforcement campaigns culminating in militarized and unlawful deployments of federal immigration enforcement agents. Illinois asked a judge to block U.S. Customs and Border Protection “from conducting civil immigration enforcement” in the state without “express congressional authorization.” The Minnesota lawsuit asked a judge to block the federal government from “implementing the unprecedented surge in Minnesota.” Mitch Smith reports for the New York Times.

    Wednesday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    A federal court will hear today Oregon’s motion to dismiss the Justice Department’s lawsuit seeking access to the state’s statewide voter registration data, arguing the complaint fails to state a claim. The DOJ sued Oregon and Secretary of State Tobias Read after the state declined to provide an unredacted statewide voter file and instead offered voter data available through public-records channels; DOJ cites the NVRA, HAVA, and the Civil Rights Act of 1960. Oregon voters and a nonprofit group have intervened, warning that turning over unredacted files would expose sensitive personal information.

    A federal judge in Boston suggested the Trump administration consider issuing a student visa to resolve what he called a “bureaucratic mess” involving Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old Babson College student deported to Honduras in violation of a court order. U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns raised the visa option at a hearing yesterday after the government acknowledged an ICE officer “made a mistake” and failed to properly flag an order barring Lopez Belloza’s deportation; an assistant U.S. attorney apologized on the government’s behalf. Stearns did not immediately rule on Lopez Belloza’s request for relief, including a motion seeking to hold officials in contempt, but asked what remedy the government proposed given that “we have a real human being here.” Nate Raymond reports for Reuters.

    Thursday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    District Judge Carl Nichols will issue an oral ruling at 11 a.m. ET today on whether Norwegian developer Equinor can resume work on the Empire Wind project off New York’s coast, after the Trump administration suspended offshore wind construction in federal waters citing national security risks. Nichols said during yesterday’s preliminary injunction hearing, and later confirmed in a minute order, that he would deliver his decision today. Justice Department lawyers argued the halt is justified by classified security concerns and called Equinor’s warnings of severe project harm “speculative,” while Nichols questioned whether the asserted risks apply during construction rather than operations, which are not scheduled to begin until October. Blake Brittain and Nichola Groom report for Reuters; Michael Phillis and Jennifer Mcdermott report for the Associated Press

    A federal judge yesterday temporarily barred the Department of Agriculture from cutting funds used to administer Minnesota’s SNAP program while the state reviews the eligibility of roughly 100,000 households amid fraud allegations. District Judge Laura Provinzino said it was likely unlawful for USDA to impose a 30-day deadline—until January 15—for Minnesota to complete the review. Daniel Wiessner reports for Reuters

    A three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, in a 2–1 decision yesterday, rejected an effort by the California Republican Party and the Justice Department to block California’s new congressional map, dealing a setback to the federal lawsuit challenging the voter-approved boundaries. Writing for the majority, Judge Josephine Staton, an Obama appointee, joined by Judge Wesley Hsu, a Biden appointee, said challengers “failed to show that racial gerrymandering occurred” and found “no basis for issuing a preliminary injunction,” adding that the result “probably seems obvious to anyone who followed the news” in 2025. Judge Kenneth Lee, a Trump appointee, dissented. Lindsey Holden and Josh Gerstein report for POLITICO; Laurel Rosenhall reports for the New York Times

    The Justice Department yesterday asked the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to rehear en banc the panel decision that disqualified Alina Habba from serving as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. In its petition, DOJ argues the panel misread the Federal Vacancies Reform Act by limiting “first assistant” service to someone already in place when the vacancy arose and treating Habba as barred because her nomination was submitted even though it was later withdrawn. The government also disputes the panel’s conclusion that the Attorney General could not delegate prosecutorial authority to her absent valid FVRA acting status, warning the ruling disrupts common vacancy practices and conflicts with other appellate precedent. DOJ says the case is not moot despite Habba’s resignation because she has indicated she intends to return if the decision is reversed."

    Friday TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LITIGATION 

    "A federal judge said on Thursday that Trump Cabinet secretaries had conspired to violate the Constitution. “In remarks laced with outrage and disbelief, U.S. District Judge William Young said Donald Trump and top officials have a ‘fearful approach’ to freedom of speech that would seek to ‘exclude from participation everyone who doesn’t agree with them.’” Young was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan. Joanna Slater reports for the Washington Post

    At a different court hearing, the Trump administration admitted it had made a mistake when it deported Any Lucia López Belloza, 19, a freshman at Babson College, when she was flying home for Thanksgiving. Still, the government has not moved to drop the case, Adam Sella reports for the New York Times

    A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail. “In a 2-1 decision, the panel ruled that federal immigration laws require deportation challenges to be made by filing a petition for review of a final order of removal with a federal appeals court — not a lower-level district court.” The Associated Press reports

    The Trump administration was blocked on Thursday from obtaining California voter data. A federal district judge dismissed the Justice Department’s lawsuit. “A district judge in Oregon also said in court Wednesday that he was tentatively planning to do the same there.” Miles Parks reports for NPR.
