Or, at least, when they weren't driven completely daffy by the demands of their own version of the woke left, which would presumably be the woke linke? Well, it's been a while since then. Now, in the latest illustration of Deutschland überall verrückt, the country that once gave rise to a hero like Arminius is now, in the face of a heat wave that wouldn't be noticed in St. Louis or Indianapolis, telling its citizens to remain indoors, unplug everything, pull the blinds, and suffer in the dark.

Normal people know full well that whatever they come up with is not going to work and, in the process, will be hugely expensive for taxpayers. One of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's signature campaign promises was free buses. One city was actually the inspiration for&nbsp;Mamdani's freebie buses.

With 17 cases yet to be decided, we knew heading into Thursday morning (one of the announced decision days) that there would likely be multiple decisions handed down and that one or more of them was likely to be a "big" one — as in one that was highly anticipated.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:50:20 -0400<![CDATA[Susie Moore]]><![CDATA[Border Security]]><![CDATA[DHS]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Law and Order]]><![CDATA[Supreme Court]]>https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2026/06/23/scotus-smacks-down-second-circuits-higher-proof-standard-for-returning-green-card-holders-n2203638<![CDATA[Crazed leftists have shown us how truly deplorable they can be as they celebrate algae growth in the National Mall Reflecting Pool and savage President Trump for attempting to beautify our nation’s capital.

Ro Khanna (CA-17) has ambitions for higher office because he certainly has been going all in trying to get attention. Except that he doesn't seem to understand he's making all the wrong moves by embracing radical leftist things like redistributionist wealth tax grabs and the scandal-plagued Democrat candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner. He might get some leftist support, but meanwhile, he's doing himself in with the center that would be vital in a general election.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:50:44 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Elon Musk]]><![CDATA[USAID]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/06/23/ro-khanna-reply-to-threat-of-lawsuit-from-elon-musk-n2203630<![CDATA[The first-place trophy in the FAFO Competition was officially retired today as nine Antifa terrorists were awarded a total of 450 years in federal prison for their attack on July 4, 2025, on the Prarieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas; see TX Police Officer Shot in Neck at ICE Detention Center, Multiple Suspects Arrested Wearing Body Armor – RedState. Defendant Maricela Rueda received 70 years. Defendants Autumn (Cameron Arnold, no word on his preferred pronouns) Hill, Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris (or Bradford Morris), and Elizabeth Soto scored 50 years each. A Mexican national named Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was in ninth place with 30 years. The big winner was the ringleader, a former Marine Corps Reservist named Benjamin Hanil Song. He was adjudged responsible for the shooting of Alvarado Police Department Lieutenant Thomas Gross and received 100 years, yes, you read that correctly, 100 years in prison.

That's how things work in the UK.

Too many stupid television shows and movies have a shooter screwing a small object the size of a flash hider onto the barrel of a pistol or rifle, then firing the piece with a barely audible thwip. That's not how it works. A pistol or rifle with a suppressor attached still makes a considerable bang; these devices are not actually silencing the piece, although they do significantly reduce report and recoil. In gun-unfriendly Europe, hunters routinely use suppressors to avoid annoying people with loud reports; they are considered more or less a requirement. Here in the United States, though, they are (stupidly) regulated in the same manner as fully-automatic weapons under the 1934 National Firearms Act.]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:30:13 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Firearms]]><![CDATA[Guns]]><![CDATA[History]]><![CDATA[Second Amendment]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/06/23/5th-circuit-suppressors-boost-self-defense-now-protected-under-bruen-n2203629<![CDATA[Thanks to a targeted sweep by Homeland Security Investigations Los Angeles, a criminal illegal alien fraudster from Romania, who is tied to a transnational Romanian gang, has been sentenced to a year and a half in federal prison.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:15:09 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[DHS]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Los Angeles]]><![CDATA[New York]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/06/23/real-life-face-off-as-fraudster-tied-to-a-transnational-gang-attempts-to-enter-the-us-by-ambulance-n2203624
