NY Times on the Left’s Skrmetti Bungle: ‘Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb’

Posted on | June 21, 2025 | Comments Off on NY Times on the Left’s Skrmetti Bungle: ‘Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb’

Chase (née Kate) Strangio is not actually a man

The Left will sometimes admit to tactical mistakes, e.g., “Maybe it was a bad idea to pretend Joe Biden was ‘sharp as a tack’ and fit for another four years.” On rare occasions, the Left will even acknowledge errors of strategy, e.g., when Bill Clinton went out of his way during the 1992 campaign to prove he was “tough on crime,” thus to avoid a repeat of the 1988 Mike Dukakis debacle. What is impossible for the Left is to admit the ugly truth — their ideas are wrong and their policies are bad.

So the case of U.S. v. Skrmetti made it all the way to the Supreme Court, where ACLU lawyer Kate “Chase” Strangio made history as the first transgender lawyer to argue a case before the Supreme Court. Then the verdict came down and guess what? It’s an utter disaster.

The New York Times is Boohoo Whinin’ and Cryin’ That Unrealistic Extremists in the ACLU Brought the Tennessee Trans Case to the Supreme Court and Lost Bigly

That’s the Ace of Spades headline and he gives it a thorough fisking, so that all I have to do is pile on the snark. Let’s pause just a minute, however, to explain why the case is called U.S. v. Skrmetti. This is quite relevant to the current state of Democratic Party politics. Jonathan Skrmetti is a Harvard-educated lawyer who in 2022 was appointed Attorney General for Tennessee. In 2023, Tennessee passed a law “prohibiting surgical procedures and hormone therapies for transgender minors with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria”:

Upon passage of the law, the Biden Department of Justice sought an injunction in the US District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee to prevent the law from going into effect on July 1, 2023.
The District Court granted a preliminary injunction . . .
[A lawsuit] was brought by three transgender teens and their families as well as a Tennessee doctor who treats youth with gender dysphoria. The Biden administration joined the plaintiffs under a law which allows the federal government to join in private suits which allege violations of the Equal Protection Clause. . . .
The District Court’s ruling was appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. . . .
By a 2–1 vote in September 2023, the Sixth Circuit panel reversed the district court’s preliminary injunction . . .
On November 6, 2023, the United States [i.e., the Biden administration] petitioned the Supreme Court to hear this case on appeal. The Supreme Court granted certiorari on June 24, 2024.

So while Joe was sleeping on the beach or eating ice cream, the people who were actually running the White House decided to push this case all the way to the Supreme Court. The “nut graf” of that NY Times story:

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court delivered a new, crushing blow, upholding Tennessee’s ban in a 6-to-3 decision. In allowing Tennessee to outlaw blockers and hormones, the court not only shielded similar laws on the books in some two dozen states. It effectively closed the door on extending new constitutional protections to trans people.

Despite their belief that they are on “the right side of history,” the Left lost this case so decisively that it will likely be decades before they could even hope to undo the self-inflicted damage to their cause.

It could have been so easily avoided. If it were just a group of plaintiffs (Jane Doe, et al.) suing the state, would they have appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court? Perhaps, but it was the Biden administration that made that call, which is why the case is U.S. v. Skrmetti.

And now that it’s blown up in their faces, the Left is trying to obscure the truth — their ideas are wrong and their policies are bad — by pointing to tactical errors and, also, blaming Trump:

For other trans activists and their allies, Skrmetti is the culmination of a powerful Trump-era backlash against the entire progressive project of expanded rights and consciousness around gender identity, artfully stoked by right-wing politicians and abetted by biased media coverage. “I didn’t pick this fight around trans rights,” Anthony Romero, the A.C.L.U.’s executive director, told me in an interview not long before the decision. “The right-wing conservatives of the MAGA G.O.P. have made this one of their cause célèbre issues as a way to kind of scapegoat individuals, as a way to score cheap political points.” . . .
Along the road to Skrmetti, some believe, the L.G.B.T.Q. movement drove itself toward a cliff — and took the Democratic Party with it, chaining the Biden administration to one of the most divisive issues in American politics at a moment of shifting medical consensus and fierce polarization. . . . Strangio and other advocates for trans rights have cast Skrmetti as the case they had to bring. It may also have set their movement back a generation.

Translation: “Somebody set up us the bomb.”

But my repetition of old jokes is not nearly as enlightening as Ace’s brutal fisking of the New York Times story, so go read that.

Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Federal Weapons Charge Indictment

Posted on | June 20, 2025 | Comments Off on Radical Vegan Transgender Cult Update: Federal Weapons Charge Indictment

Jack Lasota, a/k/a “Ziz”

Wednesday press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office:

Today, a federal grand jury returned an indictment, charging Jack Amadeus LaSota, 34, of Fairbanks, Alaska — aka Andrea Phelps; Ann Grimes; Anne Grimes; Canaris; Julia LaSota; Ziz — with being a fugitive from justice in possession of firearms and ammunition.
Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the indictment with Acting Special Agent in Charge Amanda M. Koldjeski, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) – Baltimore Field Office.
According to the indictment, LaSota possessed several firearms, including a GM6 Lynx .50 caliber rifle, a black HS Produkt, model Hellcat, 9x19mm handgun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. At the time, LaSota was knowingly a fugitive from justice and therefore was not permitted by law to possess a firearm or ammunition.
If convicted, LaSota faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. . . .
U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the FBI, the Allegany County State’s Attorney’s Office, and the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office for their work in the investigation. Ms. Hayes also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared M. Beim who is prosecuting the federal case.

Via Andy Ngo, who reminds us of the background:

[LaSota] remained a fugitive until being caught in western rural Maryland in February amid a manhunt of the Trantifa terror cult’s members.
Since then, he has been in custody after being denied bail, along with two fellow Zizian members, Michelle “Jamie” Zajko and Daniel Blank. In Maryland, LaSota faces local charges of trespass and firearm offenses.
He has an open criminal case in Pennsylvania related to the obstruction of an investigation of a double homicide in 2023 and a 2019 riot-related case in California.
Currently, three other Zizian members are in custody in California for two murders. Another member, Seattle woman Teresa Youngblut, is in custody in New Hampshire over the homicide of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in January.

By the way, with the cult leader and two of his accomplices in custody, I’d sort of backed off coverage of the Zizians and, in the process, missed out on two excellent accounts of the cult: “The Delirious, Violent, Impossible True Story of the Zizians” (Evan Ratliff, Wired, February 21) and “‘Show her the body’: Alleged kill orders, cult behavior inside the Bay Area Zizians” (Katie Dowd and Andrew Chamings, SFGate, February 26). Both of those stories are worth reading because they mention Alice Monday, who was Michelle Zajko’s girlfriend from 2018 to 2022. Zajko and Monday at one point lived together in Vermont, but Zajko claims Lasota ordered her to murder Monday who, apparently, fled the country and is now living in Chile. Also, our friends at Kiwi Farms have a complete text of Michelle Zajko’s “Open Letter” (which I’d partially quoted in April), in case you wanted to get the paranoid delusion straight from the kook.

Like I keep telling y’all, Crazy People Are Dangerous.

YUGE Win for Trump: Illegal Immigrant Population Has Dropped by 1 Million!

Posted on | June 19, 2025 | 2 Comments

Remember how in 2012, during a Republican primary debate, Mitt Romney was mocked for saying he was in favor of “self-deportation”? The audience actually laughed, as Romney explained that it would not be necessary to “round people up,” but rather that enforcement of the E-Verify system for employment would cause illegal aliens to leave the country voluntarily. Liberals treated this idea as if it were some kind of joke, but Romney’s point — that if the U.S. ever got serious about enforcing our immigration laws, this would encourage illegals to leave — has now been vindicated. Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler of the Center for Immigration Studies report:

Our analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics household survey, officially called the Current Population Survey (CPS), shows a large decline in the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) between January and May of this year. The decline was caused by a falloff in the number of non-citizens from Latin America who arrived in 1980 or later, a population that overlaps significantly with illegal immigrants. We preliminarily estimate that the number of illegal immigrants has fallen by one million since the start of the year, perhaps due to their leaving in response to President Trump’s election and stepped-up enforcement efforts. . . .

• Based on the CPS, published figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the number of foreign-born individuals in the labor force declined by 601,000 from January to May 2025.
• Our analysis of the raw data shows the total foreign-born population, both in and out of the labor force, declined 957,000 from January to May 2025. This is one of the largest declines over a 4-month period in the foreign-born in the last three decades, but it is not unprecedented.
• The decline was entirely among non-citizens. The number of naturalized U.S. citizens in the data did not fall from January to May of this year.
• In particular, non-citizens from Latin America who indicated they arrived in the United States in 1980 or later show a 1.07 million decrease from January to May of this year and a 1.45 million falloff since December 2024.
• It is well-established that the post-1980 Latin American non-citizen population overlaps significantly with the illegal immigrant population.
Our preliminary estimate is that there are 14.8 million illegal immigrants in the country in May 2025, one million fewer than we estimated in January of this year. . . .

You can read the whole thing. Let’s extrapolate a bit from this analysis. If the number of illegal immigrants decreased by one million in about five months, that’s an average decline of 200,000 every month — roughly 2.4 million per year. So if the current trend could be continued, by the time the 2028 election rolls around, the number of illegals in the United States will be less than it was when Joe Biden took office in 2021.

Keep in mind that the average population of a Congressional district is about 760,000, so that for every 2.3 million illegal immigrants you deport, you’re taking away three House seats (and three Electoral College votes) from states that have large illegal populations. The Top 10 of these include five “blue” states: California (2.6 million illegal aliens), New Jersey (490,000),Illinois (420,000), New York (410,000) and Washington (340,000), as well as two “red” states — Texas (2.1 million) and Florida (590,000) — and the “swing” states of North Carolina (360,000), Georgia (340,000) and Arizona (290,000). Thus, if strict enforcement could reduce the illegal alien population by 7 million by the time the 2030 Census arrives, the chances of Democrats winning the Electoral College (or a House majority) in the 2032 election would almost certainly be diminished — and perhaps by a significant margin.

Democrats know this, of course, which is why they’re pulling all kinds of stunts to try to stop Trump from enforcing the law.

Hey, did I mention the Democratic Party is going broke?

Good times, my friends — good times!
