An interesting conversation with Goodlawgic and Robert Goveai regarding Presidental Pardons.

"Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

He's arguing, essentially, that the pardon, as stated is for "Offences" against the United States, not the person. His argument, and not having any background in law thought this myself, is that this language suggests that those offences have to be known at the time of the pardon and I would argue must be stated. There is nothing to suggest a "blanket pardon" is Constitutional.

Fascinating ...

The conference is amazing!

Conference has been amazing. The people are awesome.

It’s wonderful to see people in real life. You realize the Internet is useful, but not real life.

Went through a job with the Mrs. in the morning. Getting ready to talk this afternoon.

Booya!

(No show tonight)

We made it!

Safe and sound, just a cool 10 1/2 hour drive. We broke it up over two days to get here. Going back is going to be a solid day.

A blast from the past

Laura Loomer confirmed that the video of her holding the drone is real. So I asked the obvious question as to how she could ever be trusted if barely 2 years ago, she was that susceptible to Russian propaganda.

Someone replied to me that they could easily find examples where I’ve done a 180 on issues. I asked which. Didn’t get an answer from that person, but a troll actually answered “Covid”. And provided a link to a YouTube video from March 27, 2020.

As the expression goes, you can’t have a reasonable conversation with someone whose sole purpose it is to misunderstand.

And the bad faith actors will always pretend to not understand a clear joke.

But the video is hilarious! I should thank them for reminding me of it, because I totally forgot about it.

Classic!

Appearance on Richard Syrette

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

@RobertBarnes @VivaFrei and all. 🚨After more than 6 years, this popped up on my Fakebook page. I remember watching these doctors speak only once because the video disappeared. Video is still disappeared. TAP for full image.
Here is a partial transcript from:
#ChristinaAguayoNews”
“#new Fast Fact: Anthony Fauci had Dr. Stella Immanuel’s social media shut down after she publicly said she treated more than 350 CVID-19 patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax and didn't have one deth.
#DC
Twitter locked the Texas physician out of her account in 2020, after the July news conference organized by America’s Frontline Doctors outside the Supreme Court.
#doctors
Immanuel, a primary care physician practicing in Houston, told the crowd she had used the combination on patients including those with diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and elderly individuals up to age 92.

She said not one of them died.

She also said that she and her staff took the drug preventively, and even though they saw 15 c*vid...

Quick update!

Had a bit of a rough evening yesterday from a gastroenterological perspective.

It turns out that eating nothing but celery (to which I have a mild food allergy), carrots, cucumber, peppers, and sprouts, in conjunction with a Celsius energy drink, and a cup of coffee, can activate one’s IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

For a bit, I legit thought I had gotten the poison lettuce from Buc-ees.

Thank goodness it passed (pun intended?)

Anyhow, enough with the TMI.

Chattanooga is beautiful. We had a fantastic birthday dinner by the water. Getting ready to set up shop at the 1776 Law Center and listen to some big brains spread information!

More updates to follow.

The Barnes Brief: Weekend of July 31, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • My idea for a perfect Saturday brunch, sitting by an open window in Venice along the canals, fresh flowers gracing the table and balcony, the blue skies and 18th century buildings smiling back, gondoliers parked, an Italian meal awaiting, in this Atlantis of cultured living. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • Hubris infects the strong, not the weak; the clever, not the  knave; the smart, not the illiterate; the previously successful, not the prior failed. It’s what makes it so inviting, so tempting, and so destructive — precisely because it infects the very people who need to be most immune from it.

A. Art of the Day

B. Wisdom of the Day

The Barnes Brief: Wednesday, July 29, 2026
I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Venetian arched bridge above, the old walls of the city surround, the bricklaid road ahead, the dance of light against the alley, as the shadow makes us bigger than ourselves. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “When we don’t put the brakes on our self-absorption, we have nothing stopping us from self-destruction.” Zeena Shreck.
