[U: TWO DAYS — IN A ROW?!] Hinderaker’s Pot — Calling A Kettle… Black?!

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

UPDATED: 02.24.2026 — same trope; different day. Hinderaker now is taking to his fainting couch because an aide to Gov. Newsom used a four letter word, in a written reply to a press person. “Oh! The humanities!” And John feels this is the chief cause of our incivility in politics. Uh huh.

John seems blissfully unaware of the nearly 12 years of on the record insults uttered by Trump — the supposed preznit (45 and 47). He seems unaware that Trump flipped the bird at a constituent, in a televised visit to an auto-factory last month. I could go on and on — you know we all have lists — [called someone an asshole on a hot mic]… but if this is what’s broken, in politics… it was Trump who broke it. More than a decade ago. He also forgets that Trump retweeted a meme that made the 44th President and his wife… monkeys. Damn — QED. End of update.

Tonight, preposterously, John bleats about an executive action that California Governor Newsom took last year… to set a man free.

John labels Newsom “pro crime” because of this. Huh.

Funny thing, Hinderaker hasn’t said so much as a peep about all the J6 felons that Trump has pardoned — with now double digits of those felons in all new — and often violent — subsequent legal trouble.

They are being re-arrested for everything from domestic violence to child sexual predator / trafficking offenses.

And that’s before we get to all the tax cheats and financial frauds. [It is my opinion that the guy right here has plainly been paying off a bribe that got HIM a pardon from Trump, by propping up and investing in Trump‘s crypto ventures — via CZ’s sprawling international crypto exchange properties.]

So John, who really is… pro- crime?

Out.

It Turns Out That… Trump Said — On An Open Line — “I Have To Invite The Women, Or I’ll Be Impeached”… He Said It, While Talking To USA Men’s Hockey.

This is… ultimately… just your average, or “normal” Tangerine 2.0 misogynist/hate-filled sentiment. [But if any of the Powerline boys or the Ringsiders had daughters who played sports — and Hinderaker claims to be related by marriage to “US hockey royalty” — and he/they do not condemn this… well, may they all burn in Hell.]

But he said it on a speaker phone being held by one Kash Patel (who was chugging champagne with the boys, at the time), in the USA Hockey locker room in Milano, by then a full day AFTER the women had already won gold. [He hadn’t put in a call to them — by that point.]

…It is unclear if the men’s team will attend the speech….

“I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that,” Trump said when extending the invitation to the men’s team.

If he did not invite the women’s team, “I do believe I probably would be impeached….”

This man is… a pig. As is his boy, Kash Patel.

Again, The Noemites/Homan-istas Have Directly Disobeyed A Federal Court Order Of USDC Judge Cummings, In Chicago. Ugh.

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

The Noemites are again flirting with contempt — and jail time — here.

This time, in a similar federal proceeding in Colorado, the Noemites told a judge in open court that its brodacsts would apply nation-wide — “so, not to worry about a separate order for Colorado.”

Then, not barely three weeks later, the able USDC Judge Cummings in Chicago ordered a similar broadcast order, to the one entered already in California. To certify it had complied, the ICE lawyers said that — despite two clear orders of his — the Noemites sent it only to Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, and Kansas.

That was, at a minimum, a lie — and a fraud, on the Colorado federal District Courts. So, Judge Cummings just today ordered new compliance proceedings — and they will be held this week:

…[The goverenment’s broadcast] is inconsistent with this Court’s orders both at the February 13 hearing and in the February 17 Order. Accordingly, the Court orders defendants to re-circulate the Broadcast Statement of Policy to all ICE agents nationwide by email and they shall advise the agents that the Broadcast remains in effect as the ICE policy governing warrantless arrests until further notification by DHS and ICE, period, full stop. Defendants are further ordered to certify their compliance with this directive in their February 27, 2026 certification….

Other courts have recognized that the Broadcast Statement of Policy is a nationwide statement of ICE policy. See, e.g., Ramirez Ovando v. Noem, No. 1:25-CV-03183-RBJ, 2025 WL 32923467, at *2–4 (D.Colo. Nov. 25, 2025) (discussing the origin of the Broadcast (“Broadcast I”), how it was prematurely rescinded by ICE (“Broadcast II”), and how it was reinstated by this Court’s October 7, 2025 Order (“Broadcast III”)); Id., at *15 (applying the requirements in “defendants’ own Broadcast statements”); Id. at *23 n.28 (“The standards for determining probable cause of flight risk for a warrantless arrest and documentation in a Form I-213 are substantially the same as those ICE has previously set out for itself in Broadcasts I and III.”).

Notably, in Ramirez Ovando, defendants themselves took the position that the Colorado district court need not enter an injunction governing warrantless arrests because a sufficient policy was “already in place” by virtue of the Broadcast. Id., at *14 (emphasis in original); Id., at *21 (“Finally, the Court rejects defendants’ argument that plaintiffs cannot show a likelihood of irreparable harm in light of Broadcast III, which was issued a week before the hearing, and already require[rs] ICE officers to comply with § 1357(a)(2).”) (cleaned up).

If defendants believed that the Broadcast only applied to the ICE Chicago Area of Responsibility, this Court would like to believe that defendants never would have represented to the Colorado district court that the Broadcast was in effect in Colorado….

All of this — this whole damn ICE dumb show — is simply… madness. Out.

Now — The Revised Govt. Witnesses List — For Thursday Morning, In Nashville…

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

Well. This is going to provide some juicy moments — on cross examination!

And Mr. Hecker will put on a master class in it.

Mostly, I cannot wait to see the “lawyer as witness” problem confound Mr. McGuire, as he squirms to try to explain that “he alone” decided to indict — and then bring toward trial. . . a nearly three year old traffic stop — where not even a traffic ticket was issued. . . but somehow he charged it as… a felony — to the grand jury. And then explain how his impartial “justice only” facade will return, as soon as he is back sitting in the first seat — prosecuting for the Noemites. Yikes.

I will also particularly enjoy Agent VanWie’s repeated nonsense — he tried this gambit last summer, too — before USDC Judge Crenshaw [which is, in no small part, why the dismissal is pending, for this Thursday] re his silly explanation for why he reopened this old… non-case.

…COMES NOW the United States of America, by and through Braden H. Boucek, United States Attorney, and, pursuant to this Court’s prior order (DE # 162), provides the following amended witness list for the February 26, 2026 evidentiary hearing. This pleading amends the Government’s prior witness list, which was previously filed on October 30, 2025. (DE # 196.)

At the hearing, the Government intends to call:

➢ Supervisory Special Agent John VanWie, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI): the United States anticipates that Agent VanWie, who worked for HSI – Baltimore, will testify regarding his decision to reopen the [not even traffic-ticketed 2023 Tennessee] investigation into the defendant’s [early 2023, entirely unticketed] activities — on April 17, 2025….

➢ Special Agent In Charge Rana Saoud, Homeland Security Investigations: the United States anticipates that Agent Saoud, who supervised the HSI — Nashville office, will testify regarding the [re-]commencement of the [more than two year stale] investigation into the defendant’s… activities by HSI — Nashville….

➢ First Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire: the United States anticipates that Mr. McGuire [who, until now had been lead trial counsel], who was serving as the Acting United States Attorney at the time the indictment was obtained, will testify regarding the reasons he sought the indictment and who made the ultimate decision to seek the indictment….

[Bonus question: Will Mr. Hecker find a way to call the US Attorney who resigned rather than undertake this vindictive prosecution — he’s a long time Vandy law prof. — widely respected. Will we see him? I dunno.] In any event, buckle-up buttercup — these dullards / goons are about to be… unmasked — in Music City Thursday morning. See ya’ then.

Power Alley: Gilead To Pay Up, For Arcellx: As A CAR-T Rival To JNJ Franchises…

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

The next-gen immuno therapy wars just keep rumbling onward. JNJ will now face a potentially very formidable competitor in the CAR-T space.

Here’s the latest, from Fierce — in the power alley (and a bit):

…Gilead Sciences has struck a deal to buy Arcellx for $7.8 billion to take full control of a CAR-T cell therapy that is on the cusp of approval.

Arcellx partnered with Gilead to develop the BCMA-directed CAR-T anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) in 2022. Gilead invested in Arcellx as part of the agreement and, having invested again when amending the deal in 2023, owns 11.5% of the company. With Gilead on the hook for $530 million in milestones for anito-cel, analysts had speculated about a potential buyout.

Gilead made its move Monday, agreeing to pay $115 per share in cash for Arcellx. The offer represents a 68% premium to Arcellx’s 30-day volume-weighted average share price. Arcellx shareholders will receive another $5 per share if cumulative global anito-cel sales hit $6 billion by the end of 2029. Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day discussed the buyout in a statement….

Pricey — but probably a pretty savvy bet. Onward, grinning into Wednesday afternoon — at Union Station.

The Oceans’ Floors May Explain Long-Lived “Snowball Earth” Epochs…

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

56 Million Years — that’s a very long time to be sitting in a freezer — waiting for your turn to get on the grill, and crisp up….

Other, later breaking Earth Ice Ages lasted only tens of thousands of years — up to a few million years — but this particular Ice Age lasted over 50 million years. Ponder that. [And it seems a “runaway carbon cycle” — but on the oceans’ floor — was a main factor, yet again.] Here is that item, and a bit:

…By tracing how carbon moved between ocean and atmosphere, Trent B. Thomas at the University of Washington (UW) demonstrated that intensified seafloor weathering could hold greenhouse gases low enough to prolong deep freeze conditions for tens of millions of years.

In his simulations, volcanic carbon release remained within the same range for both episodes, yet only the scenario with accelerated ocean-floor reactions reproduced the prolonged glaciation.

That imbalance pointed away from the sky and toward the seabed, setting up the need to understand how the ocean floor gained such outsized control over Earth’s climate clock….

Fascinating. Onward.

Here, Tonight Hinderaker: Says “Too Much” — And, Not Enough, All At Once.

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

So — as these Milano Winter Games come to a close, this is exceedingly… revealing.

Hinderaker crows that Tangerine 2.0 invited the men’s hockey team to his SOTU speech, on Tuesday.

He originally made no such offer to the women’s team.

[BTW, John — they also won gold. For its part the NHL’s stars are saying that travel arrangements may be “difficult” — vis-a-vis the timing of the abrupt restart of NHL play. Hilarious! These guys can charter their own jets, man. But they do. not. want. to. be. props.]

In any event, Hinderaker well knows… these are very powerful, brilliant women. They too might not agree to only be “seen, and not heard“.

O U T.

[U] John, Tangerine Was In DC — Not Florida.

In order for it to be anything like a credible assassination attempt, probably the target should’ve been in the same state as the supposed assailant…

But why get bogged down in details, right? Any nut will do, in John’s warped world.

Updated: Hinderaker almost immediately opined that this intruder must’ve been left wing — and a TDS sufferer. Well… here, later in the evening on Sunday, we are learning that his whole family consists of Trump supporters, and he has been obsessed with the Epstein files (and Trump’s lies about the same) for quite a while. Doesn’t exactly sound like a hard “left winger” John. End update.

This is Hinderaker we’re talking about — and for him, the truth doesn’t matter.

Out.

These Boys Are… So PRECIOUS! Shut It — You Cowards.

Overnight, the Ringsiders are complaining about what an awful human being (and politician) Tangerine 2.0 is. Just like the 1.0 version, boys. Just the same.

And you — each of you losers — chose to vote for him not once, not twice [in a losing effort, though you wouldn’t for months admit he lost]… but THREE times.

Thrice.

So… until you publish written manifestos backing immediate Twenty-Fifth Amendment proceedings, signed by your own hand — I won’t even read any more of this “pure as the wife of the Caesar” cluck-clucking about the known quantity of a guy you decided to back. Just sit down.

[The Powerliners were doing the same — as late as Friday.]

Either back the 25th, in writing right now — or get out of the way — and let us adults clean up your fetid lil’ pig-pen.

There are indisputable grounds for declaring him unfit for the office he holds — not least of which is threatening the lives and families of two US Supreme Court Justices — these two he himself had appointed in his first go ’round.

He is manifestly unfit to even be… a dog catcher, in some rundown jerkwater Florida pan-handle coast village.

Step aside you malign morons.

O U T.

Noemite/Homan-Forces… Continue To Defy Federal Court Orders In Chicago — Motion To Enforce Up Next, At Dirksen Bldg…

~ condor ~ Leave a comment

We will have to wait a bit, to read the actual motion, as the unredacted version doubtless contains names and personal details of individual victims, at the moment — and so won’t be available for viewing on the PACER system until redactions are made.

But again — these jamokes cannot thwart court orders much longer — otherwise, they and their AUSA lawyers will wind up in jail for a spell. Here’s the latest text entry on the docket:

…Docket # 305 | Motion to Enforce….

Onward, grinning just the same — as America holds men’s and women’s hockey gold, again — for the first time in decades. On — to Nashville, mid-week!
