Sorry, Bob! I stopped reading after you mentioned Putin and the U.S.S.R. in the same sentence. This is 2025, not 1953. Until neoconservatism vis a vis Russia is extricated from State Dept/CIA foreign policy, there can't be lasting peace that speaks to and reflects 2025 realpolitik. Soviet Communism as well as the Soviet Union died and was cremated in 1991. That was 34 years ago. This is a new day 'n' age and a new regime. It is driven by a passionate patriotic desire of most of those born after 1991 to blaze a Third Way for Russia that neither genuflects to atheist China nor secular West liberal democracy. I can respect that. Russia should be our trading partner, not a geopolitical adversary.

I agree with you, David.

Glad to see activists in black robes are being held accountable by the Trump Department of Justice. Seeing Judge Hannah Dugan being led away by Federal Law Enforcement in handcuffs is especially gratifying. Yes, the Judge allegedly intentionally obstructed the arrest of an illegal immigrant who is accused of, among other things, beating a man and woman during a domestic violence incident. All while victims and witnesses were waiting to testify in her courtroom.

This is yet another example of unhinged, liberal, woke insanity gone amok. What arrogance and disregard for the rule of law.

Hopefully, Judge Dugan will face the full extent of the law to include jail time and disbarment.

Don't Count your Judicial Eggs until they are hatched so to speak.

Thank you, Robert, for the laughs and rabbit holes this morning. I wonder who decides to become a suicide enabler rather than a mere hit man and how they train. Those suicides around the Clintons, people shooting themselves twice, seem amateurish compared to the ones today.

And if you don't enjoy being around Montecito sisterhood aspirers there's one sure way to get rid of them. When they ask where you live, just say “Goleta.” That'll make them pop their botox.

Thanks for hitting the nail on the head, Robert. “Santa Barbara Judge Agrees to Lifetime Ban from Bench” (SB Independent)

Ex-judge Michael Carrozzo didn’t just resign ... He signed an “irrevocable resignation from office,” the legal equivalent of lighting your judicial robes on fire and saluting the flames. This, to avoid “severe public censure” — which sounds mild… until you realize that in judge-speak it is the equivalent of being tarred and feathered.

It wouldn't surprise me if the FBI is purging Carrozzo's name from their files! A little redacting never hurt anybody <g>. I've got to checkup on this Carrozzo fella to see what else he's done.

Does he still receive a pension?

Of course he does PENSION, MEDICAL, PERKS and EVERYTHING

Just have a Ole Sit Down with Me Bill because I have the actual DOCUMENTs Bill.

Bill Russell's avatar

Is my name mentioned anywhere in those documents?

Howard Walther's avatar

No Bill, however there are many, many familiar names of the

So-Called Santa Barbara Leaders that are permeated through-out

the Documents and makes for interesting reading late at night

or early in the morning which is my preference with a

I started wondering, after local law enforcement have stated they will not cooperate with ICE and the DHS, if somehow Santa Barbara has declared itself a Sanctuary City.

So I asked GROK:

"Santa Barbara has not taken formal action to declare itself a sanctuary city, unlike some other California cities such as San Francisco or Los Angeles. Local policies, as noted in a 2017 statement from the Santa Barbara Police Chief, indicate that the city does not actively seek out undocumented immigrants unless they have committed a crime beyond immigration violations. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office also complies with California’s state-level sanctuary policies, such as the California Values Act (SB 54), which limits local law enforcement’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities. However, both city and county officials have explicitly stated they are not a sanctuary jurisdiction. For example, Santa Barbara County officials in 2017 confirmed the county is not a sanctuary county and has no plans to become one.

California as a whole is considered a sanctuary state under SB 54, enacted in 2017, which restricts state and local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration enforcement in certain ways, such as inquiring about immigration status or holding individuals for ICE without a judicial warrant. This state law applies to Santa Barbara but does not make the city itself a sanctuary city. Additionally, some local hesitation exists about adopting a formal sanctuary city label, with concerns about drawing federal attention or risking funding, as expressed by city council members in 2017.

In summary, while Santa Barbara operates under California’s sanctuary state policies, it is not considered a sanctuary city based on its own policies or formal declarations."

Ah....the classic bureaucratic double speak made plain.

As the cartoon of the 1950's would say "Very Interesting."

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez most likely saw the end of her career and figured she would make money as a "I was offended" to girl groups. It is called the chain of command and what were her reasons for being on the fast track?

Judges Bite the Dust! Trump Losing Trust! Cali Tax Unjust! 9/11 Disgust!

“Army commander suspended after refusing to display Trump photo” (The Telegraph)

Another recalcitrant colonel in the chain of command bites the dust.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez was suspended after portraits of President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were discovered turned to face the wall at the base.

Sheyla may not realize it, but she took an oath to defend the Constitution, not a Harvard class on interior design and political preferences.

That’s what you get when promotions are woke-driven and new hires are indoctrinated with DEI.

“FBI arrests Milwaukee judge, uhhhh reading the report and the fact ICE was told to go to one room and the "perp" was told use the other room. Guilty as charged.

Virginia Giuffre is dead. By suicide, ?????? Is that like Hillary's lover found on a grass knoll without any blood?

But does Mad Vlad STOP?.... Nope. He just conscripted another 50,000+ recruits and shifted reserves to the eastern side of NATO. This is chees and he is not about to engage NATO.

As if Californians aren’t taxed enough........... Hey I once took all the taxes sales, property, and more paid daily by Calif. residents.......then presented it to a bunch of Democrats. They all stated I must have lied. Nope the plain truth and nothing but the truth.

They objected....but still said it was too high.

There is so much more.... Thanks for the list. Even if it is depressing.

I read this article by Robert Eringer titled "Judges Bite the Dust! Trump

Losing Trust! Cali Tax Unjust! 9/11 Disgust!"

I have a new Title "American Justice System Needs to be Reformed"

I quote from Mr. Eringer. "Colorful" statements on Judges below>

“FBI arrests Milwaukee judge, alleging she interfered in immigration operation” (NBC News)

AND "Don’t know about you, but few things warm the heart like watching a judge get walked"

AND "But, apparently, this injudicious jiggering jerk-off of a judge thinks her courtroom is a sanctuary city." AND TO SANTA BARBARA JUDGE MICHAEL CARRUZZO Mr. Eringer Stated>

"Oh, and locally: Another jiggering jerk-off of a judge falls off the bench…"

“Santa Barbara Judge Agrees to Lifetime Ban from Bench” (SB Independent)

Let’s be clear — ex-judge Michael Carrozzo didn’t just resign. He signed an “irrevocable resignation from office,” the legal equivalent of lighting your judicial robes on fire and saluting the flames. This, to avoid “severe public censure” — which sounds mild… until you realize that in judge-speak it is the equivalent of being tarred and feathered. His downfall? Moonlighting as his assistant-turned-wife’s personal legal battering ram." THIS IS NOT THE REST OF THE STORY.

So what is the real story here on Judges in America and Judges in Santa Barbara according to

PAUL HARVEY so what is THE REST OF THE STORY?

There is a very serious IMMIGRATION FRAUD Case in Santa Barbara Court that Involves the NATIONAL SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES ALL CONCEALED.

OK President Trump, Pam Bondi and Director Kash Patel WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Is it not rather odd with all the ladies of Montecito boxted that none ever raises so much as an eyebrow in questioning concern?
