Another game of playing chicken
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Just look at the game of chicken that members of Congress have been playing with DHS funding for the past month and a half. However, unlike with cars, it’s not the politicians who are suffering the consequences, but the American people. Then there are the cities that keep playing chicken with the violent protesters. Especially when politicians refuse…

Washington Post Finds a Hero for ‘Queer’ Kiddies in Fired Tennessee Librarian
The Washington Post thought it was a "national" story about what the Left calls "book bans." Reporter Daniel Wu began:
The top librarian in Rutherford County, Tennessee, was fired this week for refusing to move over 130 books with LGBTQ+ themes to the system’s adult section, capping months of tumult that made the suburban county the latest frontline in a national debate over access to books about queer and transgender people.
The county board near Nashville voted 8-3 to fire library director Luanne James in a spirited meeting Monday in which supporters and detractors of James spoke on her stance to applause and jeers.
“All I’m going to say is that I stand by my decision,” James said at the board meeting before her firing. “I will not change my mind.”
Much of the audience at the board meeting broke into cheers and applause after her statement. Chants of “shame” were heard as board members voted to fire James.
That refusal made James a "hero" to the Bluesky Brigade, and they’re all raising funds to throw at her for her "courage."
Even that move of books to the adults section is conditional — children can still access books in the adults section with parental approval. So if you’re a liberal parent with a gender-bending child, the access remains. Wu was very generic about the content:
The books flagged by the library board included children’s comics with transgender characters and books about trans activists, according to a list obtained by The Washington Post. Books were also flagged for containing “partially unclothed” people, “female empowerment discussions,” “social-justice concepts” and a “gay couple” among other topics, according to the list.
Leif LeMahieu at the Daily Wire provided what Wu and the Post would not — specifics on what books were moved.
Books the board directed moved to the adult section included “The Gender Wheel,” “Who Are You? The Kids Guide to Gender Identity,” and “When Aidan Became A Brother” — a picture book about a gender-confused girl who started identifying as a boy.
“Librarians should not be used as a filter for political agendas," James said. This can be a comical claim, since librarians are the ones who serve as the political and cultural filters for which books are placed on the shelves, and which books are excluded. So are "transphobic" books made available, like Abigail Shrier’s Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters? Liberal reporters don’t ask. They presume such "harmful" material is left out.
Conservative opinion was barely included in this story. It was limited to little bites:
One commenter supporting the library board called James “evil” and said reclassifying the books was needed to “protect children.”
Predictably, the left wasn’t identified by ideology, and their lobbies are just "free expression advocates."
Kasey Meehan, the Freedom to Read director at free-expression advocacy group PEN America, said James “really stood very principled for intellectual freedom, for ensuring young people have the right to see themselves, for ensuring access to LGBT+ books.”
“[It’s] truly emblematic of both how censorship battles are showing up across the country in public schools and public libraries,” she added. “And also how people are risking jobs and their own financial security to hold the line.”
The "Democracy Dies in Darkness" newspaper doesn’t really want to feature a debate on so-called "book bans" when someone wants to criticize content selections at publicly funded libraries, any more than you can protest "Drag Queen Story Hours" they host.

When the lines blur on freedom of speech and press
The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – The first five words of the First Amendment are, “Congress shall make no law…”, that means that the First Amendment only applies to the federal government. And no, contrary to what the Supreme Court has said, the Fourteenth Amendment did not rewrite the First. So if freedom of speech and press are so important, what are we doing to…

Two Illegal Aliens Get Sweetheart Plea Deal – for Murder – from Va. County Prosecutor
Two illegal aliens in Fairfax County, Virginia pleaded guilty to murder and could be back out on the street in three years, thanks to a sweetheart deal given them by a progressive prosecutor known for going easy of criminals who illegally enter the U.S.
“The reason why the two men will be serving five years behind bars for murder is that Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office offered them a generous plea deal. And both men took it,” WJLA’s Nick Minock reported Thursday:
“Descano’s Office offered Maldin Anibal Guzman and Wis Alonso Sorto-Portillo a plea deal which included a 25-year sentence. But they will only be required to serve five of those years, including credit for time served. Meaning the men will be out in 2029.”
The two, if convicted via a trial, could have been sentenced to as much as 40 years in prison.
As the sanctuary state’s Commonwealth’s attorney, Descano has made national headlines by going soft on illegal alien criminals, such as in the case of the murder of Stephanie Minter, who was stabbed to death at a bus.
Minter’s suspected killer, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal alien with a long criminal history who was free at the time of the murder because Descano’s office ignored warnings from other law enforcement officials not to release him because he posed a danger to the community.
“Wherever possible, Steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences,” Descano’s website vows.
Descano’s website even declares it “a perversion of justice” if a criminal who’s an illegal alien is deported, but a criminal who’s a U.S. citizen gets to stay in the country:
“If two people commit the same crime, but only one’s punishment includes deportation, that’s a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County.”

What’s more, Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid is notorious for not honoring any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers – no matter how heinous the crime is – and frequently releases criminal illegal aliens back onto to the streets without giving any advance notice to ICE.
“Sanctuaries are sanctuaries for criminals,” U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan, who lives in Virginia, told Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom Friday, blaming the state’s new governor, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, for abandoning her campaign promise to support moderate policies:
“Elections have consequences. I live in Virginia. Spanberger took over and she’s move so far to the left she’s not even recognizable anymore.”
Suspects in three of the four murder trials in Fairfax County so far this year are illegal aliens. In the other two cases, one illegal alien is accused of hacking a man to death with a machete and another is charged with beating his three-month old daughter to death.
