The MAGA fourth Reich continues to attack American institutions.
Quote:A few House Republicans are pledging to bring up impeachment articles against federal judges who have blocked Trump administration actions, including those of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), backing up tech billionaire Elon Musk’s call for a “wave of judicial impeachments.”
Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) said he is drafting articles of impeachment against Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York, who in a ruling last weekend temporarily restricted Musk and DOGE aides from accessing a Treasury Department payment system.
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is working on an impeachment resolution against Rhode Island District Judge John McConnell Jr. over his ruling halting the Trump administration’s freeze on federal funding.

Quote:Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) wants President Donald Trump’s birthday to be a federal holiday.
On Friday, the New York congresswoman introduced in a news release what she called “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act,” which would “permanently codify” June 14 as a federal holiday called “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day,” according to the release. The bill is listed as H.R. 1395 on the official U.S. Congress website.
“No modern president has been more pivotal for our country than Donald J. Trump,” Tenney said in the news release. “As both our 45th and 47th President, he is the most consequential President in modern American history, leading our country at a time of great international and domestic turmoil. From brokering the historic Abraham Accords to championing the largest tax relief package in American history, his impact on the nation is undeniable.”
Referring to Trump as the “founder of America’s Golden Age,” Tenney added that he should join George Washington in having his birthday celebrated as a federal holiday. (Washington’s birthday is more commonly referred to as Presidents Day.)

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is on record saying the renaming of military bases that once glorified Confederate heroes was “crap” and “garbage” — a craven surrender to “woke” ideology.
Hegseth last week restored the name Fort Bragg to the massive Army base in North Carolina that in 2023 was rechristened Fort Liberty.
“We’re not done,” Hegseth said, indicating that other military installations, possibly including Texas’ Fort Cavazos, would revert to names with Confederate associations.
The reality, however, is that it won’t be easy for Hegseth to do that.
It may even be impossible.
In his way stands an act of Congress that authorized the Pentagon to take Confederate leaders' names off those military bases in the first place. It passed during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.
The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, the bill that sets defense policy and spending priorities, created a Naming Commission to strip Confederate names from all “assets of the Department of Defense.” Trump vetoed the bill, calling it an effort to “rewrite history,” but a bipartisan majority in Congress easily overrode the veto.
"The NDAA required renaming so not to honor anyone who had served in the Confederate States of America voluntarily," said Drew Brenner-Beck, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former professor at the South Texas College of Law in Houston.
In returning Fort Bragg to its original name, Hegseth fulfilled a promise Trump made during a campaign appearance in Fayetteville, N.C., in October.
To pull it off, Hegseth devised a legal workaround.
He renamed Fort Liberty not for Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, its original namesake, but for an obscure World War II private, Roland Bragg.
"Bragg is back!" the defense secretary declared.

I thought the goal was to cut costs. Seems to me that if signage and letterhead and such has been changed on the bases that the change back is going to cost money that doesn't need to be spent. But, what do I know?

Trump showed up at the Daytona 500 and had a flyover and then rode a couple laps around the track in his car (The Beast) to the tune of millions in costs for a photo op. DOGE was apparently good with that.
