KURT SCHLICHTER: Don’t Freak Out When We Lose the Birthright Citizenship Case.

But the big problem is the birthright citizenship interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Sadly, that’s not going to get fixed by this case. It just isn’t. But we’ve started a discussion of the subject. We’ve started the fight. And now we just have to finish it.

But it’s not going to help by freaking out, being demoralized, blackpilling, or whining about how we didn’t get our way this time. If you’re not paying attention, let me help you. We’re winning about 90% of our cases. We lost tariffs, sort of, and we are going to lose this, sort of. We’ve won everything else. The Trump Justice Department’s track record is astonishing.

There’s a saying among trial lawyers that if you never lose, it’s because you never try cases. If we’re pushing the envelope, sometimes we’re going to push until the envelope tears. That’s a good thing. So, don’t be discouraged. We’re never going to win all our court cases. Sometimes we’re going to lose, and it’s going to hurt. So what? Welcome to real life. The answer isn’t to throw up our hands in despair. The answer is to keep fighting.

Read the whole thing.

FROM CAROLINE FURLONG:  Theophany.

Ten years ago the Savients took over Niban, forcing the independent inhabitants into poverty and despair. Bass White saw the careless cruelty of the Savients kill his mother and his father. When a resistance cell is discovered in his city bloc, the Savients seek to make everyone pay.

With his wife Amie, Bass races into the caverns to escape the Savients’ brutal enforcers: the Atrasai. The couple barely make it to the limits of known territory outside their underground city, however, before the Atrasai catch up with them. It would take a miracle to save them…

…or a combat medic robot.

Join Bass and Amie in this sci-fi story of healing, hope, and wonder. After a decade of fear and pain, even a little light can bring out the best in man and machine. But will the best be enough to heal?

ROBERT SPENCER: Mamdani’s New York: ‘All I Know Is I Want to Start Terror, Bro.’ “Nobody got too excited about it, but there was an Islamic State (ISIS) attempted bombing in New York City a few weeks ago, and new details are emerging about exactly what happened. Now dashcam footage capturing a conversation between the two would-be jihad murderers has just emerged, and it further sets the record straight about one of the most wildly misreported events of our propaganda-laden age.”
