Blue slips

Cernovich made the point I suspect Harmeet might have made (or was vaguely alluding to in her response to me “having no idea of federal criminal procedure”).

Very succinctly put, the “blue slip” process is the process by which state senators approve of federal judicial nominees. if they approve, they send back the approval on a blue slip. it basically gives a veto power to state senators as relates to federal judicial nominees.

It’s not a law. It’s a practice that Grassley does not want to renounce or discard.

Trump has mentioned it a few times. In early December, and over the summer. it seems to be resurfacing now as the explanation for which there have been no deep state arrests.

I wonder if Harmeet is going to get mad at Cernovich as well! 😂 the blue slip theory is predicated on the unsatisfactory progress in terms of deep state arrests.

The point I made to Cernovich, and I hope we can discuss it - is that it highlights the problem.

On the one hand, the Trump administration is not bypassing the corrupt jurisdictions to bring indictments in more favorable jurisdiction.

On the other hand, they can’t get through their own appointments to de-corrupt the corrupt jurisdictions.

And finally, they’re not even firing the corrupt elements within the DOJ (e.g. Jocelyn Ballentine).

I don’t know what can be done at this point, and how long it would take. But even assuming Cernovich is right, and I believe he is at least with respect to judicial nominees, time is fast running out to bring about the required reform to preserve the Republic.

thought complete.

We also went back to the farm today and got eight more likely fertilized silky chicken eggs. We’re going to document this one from beginning to end!

A. Art of the Day

Another artistic expression of my own self-impression, the contemplative thought of looking out into the world through the oversized window amidst the shadows of dark and light, in between them both, uncovering and discovering along the way, a singular, solo figure in the space empty of objects but full of opportunities, sparse in materials but rich in ideas, waiting to be realized.

The early morning hue, the fog of the dawn, the invitation of a new day, the beckoning of a promising journey, a simple man with a suitcase awaiting the train, to someplace, somewhere, maybe escaping, maybe seeking, the attractive allure of a new day.

The mirrored reflection creating a paralleled world above and below, the fearsome crocodile coasting in the waterways made from centuries ago, a reminder of the power of the past and the potential of the present in the majestic ancient animal of our past and potential.

B. Wisdom of the Day

“Animal communication is like any other form of telepathic, intuitive conversation. The thoughts and feelings of people and animals carry energetic signatures, communicated through very primal, nonverbal channels.” Elizabeth Eiler.
