This will almost certainly go to the US Supreme Court and despite the decisions coming from three lower courts, will also almost certainly be overturned.

'U.S. appeals court rules against Trump attempt to withhold funds from "sanctuary" cities

A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ruled against a Trump administration attempt to withhold millions of dollars from so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

The decision, by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago, upheld a pair of lower court rulings that blocked the administration from placing immigration-related conditions on law enforcement grants.

President Donald Trump, who faces reelection on Nov. 3, has made immigration a central theme of his presidency and 2020 campaign. He frequently criticizes Democrat-controlled “sanctuary” jurisdictions for policies that he says protect criminal immigrants.

The decision follows Trump’s remarks on Wednesday that suggested he might restrict coronavirus aid to states and cities with “sanctuary” policies.

“If you’re going to get aid to the cities and states for the kind of numbers you’re talking about - billions of dollars - I don’t think you should have sanctuary cities,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

I was just checking, and according to several sources close to the matter, Trump isn't over yet. He'll be bringing back Flynn and Stone right away.

Plot twist - Stone will be SoS and Flynn will be Press Secretary. Flynn will be issued a nerf-gun which launches inked foam arrows. Colors will be painted on the press when their funding/alignment is identified.

It's a very bad thing that these horrible judges are thwarting the glorious efforts of President Trump and his henchmen to Make America Great Again™. Especially when he has an Article Two that gives him the right to do whatever he wants as president. Get Attorney General Barr on this right away. I'm sure he can lay out an irrefutable argument supporting absolute power for the president, to go along with his absolute immunity.

'Judge Cancels Hundreds of Oil, Gas Leases in Montana'

A federal judge on Friday canceled nearly 300 oil and gas leases in Montana because government officials failed to properly study the risks of all that drilling to the environment and water supply.

The Court does not fault BLM for providing a faulty analysis of cumulative impacts or impacts to groundwater, it largely faults BLM for failing to provide any analysis,” Morris wrote.

The judge chided the BLM's attorneys for citing irrelevant findings from their environmental reviews to answer the plaintiffs' allegations, the judge said.

“A weatherman proves unhelpful if he says ”it's going to be windy tomorrow" when asked if it will rain," Morris wrote in his ruling. “BLM proves just as unresponsive here.”

The judge canceled the leases and ordered BLM officials to conduct additional environmental reviews.

So, the Inspector General who issued a report on supply shortages which had affected hospitals across the country (a report that outraged President Trump, not because of the shortages it exposed, but because he thought it made him and his administration look bad) is being replaced. Presumably by somebody Trump considers more sympathetic to him, willing to ignore things that might upset the president.

Trump Fires Another Watchdog Inspector General, Settling the Score For Telling the Truth in COVID-19 Report'

Maybe Donald Trump’s siege against his enemies will be referred to as the Endless Night of Long Knives, because it’s been going on for months, since the senate impeachment vote convinced him that it was his right to be drunk with vainglory and purge the government of either the insufficiently loyal, or former loyalists who managed to annoy him by worsening his situation with their own incompetence. Mick Mulvaney comes to mind. But Trump has gone one step further. Friday he found the perfect minion to fire, a watchdog at HHS who upset him by filing a report last month which highlighted supply shortages and testing delays at hospitals. This is the perfect termination, insofar as it combines Trump’s need to purge the disloyal and cover his incompetence regarding the coronavirus response. Nothing like killing two birds with one stone. The Orange Overlord must be very pleased.

Wow! All that, and he still isn't as bad as the BEST the Dems are putting forward.

What an embarrassment.

Wow! All that, and he still isn't as bad as the BEST the Dems are putting forward.

Wow! All that, and Hitler still isn't as bad as the BEST the Social Democratic Party of Germany are putting forward.

White House Blocking Fauci From Testifying About COVID-19 Response b/c It’s ‘Counterproductive’

Talk about a red flag, this is a vermillion pennant — on fire. Stop, look and listen, because Trump world is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic. Friday, the White House issued a statement that Dr. Anthony Fauci would not be allowed to testify next week before the House of Representatives, in its examination of the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The White House is saying that it is “counterproductive” to have individuals involved in the pandemic response testify about the pandemic response. Now that’s interesting. I guess it would be counterproductive if you were doing a research paper on orchids in Burma to ask a horticulturist in Burma who grows them to come talk to you about the topic. The logic of this completely escapes me and that’s because there is none. There is only double talk and cloak and dagger, fueled by sheer desperation to survive.

The White House issued this statement. New York Times:

“While the Trump administration continues its whole-of-government response to COVID-19, including safely opening up America again and expediting vaccine development, it is counter-productive to have the very individuals involved in those efforts appearing at congressional hearings,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. “We are committed to working with Congress to offer testimony at the appropriate time.”

It's a miracle! Trump will save US by...giving a Town Hall where Jim Acosta is banned:

Over nearly two days, Trump is expected to meet with his chief of staff Mark Meadows and other top advisers like Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to plan for his televised coronavirus town hall at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday night and weigh various tax policy and regulatory proposals to boost the economy, according to interviews with half a dozen senior administration officials and...

He's got a desperate itch for a MAGA rally, and that ain't gonna scratch it.

I missed this quip from Wednesday, sorry if it's already been posted. I laughed.

I don't believe the polls. I believe the people of this country are smart. And I don't think that they will put a man in who's incompetent.

Found it in this generally pessimistic piece on the Red Menace campaign strategy:

'Trump's China syndrome: His latest desperate re-election strategy won't end well'

[T]he campaign is trying to get him to back off the day-to-day focus on task force matters and refocus the campaign on China-bashing. The New York Times reported a few days ago that Republicans are convinced "that elevating China as an archenemy culpable for the spread of the virus, and harnessing America's growing animosity toward Beijing, may be the best way to salvage a difficult election."

It's a natural go-to for a man whose calling cards are racism and xenophobia. The problem here is that the administration is using the power of the federal government to help his campaign. Again. (You may recall he had a little impeachment issue a few months back about that very issue. No harm, no foul, apparently!)

Just a few days after the media reported on this big GOP plan, the White House decided to dust off the Dick Cheney playbook and instruct the intelligence community to find evidence to support the theory that the virus outbreak began in a government biodefense lab in the city of Wuhan.

On Thursday, they reported back and it wasn't good news for Trump. They found no evidence that the virus was anything but naturally occurring. Of course. Trump wasn't impressed [...]

It's a deep state conspiracy to make him look bad. Nasty people.
