Todd Blanche, Next US AG?

President Trump has nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General, replacing Pam Bondi. Blanche had been acting in the role since April 2, 2026, when Bondi left for an “essential and much‑needed new role” in the private sector, after her tenure as AG became untenable.

Blanche’s audition for the president went well enough to be nominated, and today he appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Alabama Senator Katie Britt serves on the committee and will no doubt support Blanche — I’m unaware that she’s ever deviated from the president — warranting an email hoping to stir her moral values.

I urge you to oppose the nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. His actions serving in the Trump administration make him unfit to lead the Justice Department. Citing chapter and verse:

He slowed — and is still blocking — release of the Epstein files, preventing a full accounting of the heinous abuse of young women. Presumably to protect the president and obtain Ghislaine Maxwell’s silence, Blanche arranged for her to move from a low security prison to a minimum security facility, overriding Bureau of Prison rules.

He created the $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund the president still wants to “reward” his cronies and followers.

Blanche crafted and signed the so-called “settlement” that forever protects the president, his family, and their business from tax audits and related claims. In a ruling, U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams wrote the initial lawsuit and subsequent settlement were an attempt to “manipulate the judicial process” because the parties were colluding. The judge has recommended disciplinary action against Blanche for possible ethics violations.

He has enabled the Justice Dpartment to continue acting as the president’s personal legal firm, weaponizing it against the president’s enemies — yielding the absurd indictment of James Comey for freedom of speech on the beach.

Blanche should be debarred, not appointed Attorney General.

Tommy Tuberville on Birthright Citizenship

I don’t expect much from Senator Tommy Tuberville. I disagree with his political views, even more his disrespect and language denigrating so many.

So I was surprised when I started reading a 4th of July email from Coach, titled “what does it mean to be an American?” I actually agreed with his answer:

Being American was not about ancestry, appearance, or religion. It meant adherence to a set of principles: the rule of law, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and equality under the Constitution. Those principles did more than define the country—they built it. Assimilation has been a cornerstone of our nation since day one.

Disarmed, I wasn’t prepared for the rest:

The Supreme Court had the opportunity this week to reaffirm the Constitution and align with our 250-year history. Instead, six gutless Justices folded to the woke mob and ruled in favor of birthright citizenship. I wish I could say I was surprised. Ever since the Communist Left’s meltdown over Roe v. Wade, some of our Justices have been scared of their own shadows. Thankfully, we have patriots like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito trying to hold the line, but it’s an uphill battle against the Democrat Communists and the Uniparty.

If the Supreme Court won’t do their job and stand up for Americans, Congress has to. Now’s our chance to pass the SAVE America Act, legislation that will preserve our country for generations to come. If we don’t, our 250th birthday may very well be our last.

Flagrant BS that needed a response, if only to lower my blood pressure.

Senator Tuberville,

Thank you for your email celebrating Independence Day and the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. I resonated with your description of what it means to be an American:

Being American was not about ancestry, appearance, or religion. It meant adherence to a set of principles: the rule of law, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and equality under the Constitution. Those principles did more than define the country—they built it. Assimilation has been a cornerstone of our nation since day one.

Then, you made a contradictory U-turn criticizing the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding birthright citizenship, claiming they didn’t affirm the Constitution. Unless you choose to redefine the meaning of words, five of the Justices did indeed affirm the 14th Amendment:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

That seems quite clear.

Your reference to the ”woke mob” must refer to Congress in 1866, when the 14th Amendment was written. The term “woke” was not a word in 1866, and I doubt that Congress was a mob.

If you wish to repeal birthright citizenship, the process is clear: amend the Constitution. Passing the SAVE America Act will not do so. It will only disenfranchise the legal votes of many American citizens, arguably far more than any illegal votes that may be cast.

I’m relieved Tuberville is not running for reelection to the Senate. Unfortunately, he wants to be Alabama’s governor. That’s another quagmire: whether a person who lives in Florida when not in Washington, yet claims to be a resident of Alabama, is eligible to run.
