Kelo vs. New London ( 2005 ) was a case of eminent domain .It dealt with privately owned real estate taken by the City of New London for development on a river front by a private , for profit company. The SCOTUS ruled that it was not a violation of eminent domain b/c it would benefit the city at large with jobs , tax assessments . etc. The exact wording of the 5th Amendment stipulates " public use " ,i.e. road , bridge , hospital , school , railroad , airport , etc. SCOTUS interpreted meaning to be " public benefit " , a huge error that opened the door for exploitation by for-profit corporations under the guise of providing monetary benefits to the municipality as outlined above.The seized property is now a municipal refuse / storage lot because Pfizer moved their proposed campus to another locale , thus nullifying the whole real estate development scheme that was the justification for the seizure.The families never got their property back. A real miscarriage of justice . Don't think eminent domain doctrine can be applied to intellectual property like patents , but I may be wrong. Attack from a different angle , like the Sherman Anti-trust Act.

So , does this mean that if the Irish were brought as slaves to America prior to 1619 , that the whole underlying thesis of the NYT's " 1619 " Project is now invalid ? Re-write the history books . Rescind the Pulitzer Prize from Nikole Hannah Jones . Go back to 1776 as the founding date of America . Bring lawsuits against the New York Times and the Pulitzer Prize Committee. Start a movement ; another Irish uprising . Protest injustice and discrimination against the Irish . Get Notre Dame alumni involved .This could morph into something Really Big ! Marches , signs , protests , memes !

Will check out these scurrilous allegations b/c I don 't believe them to be true.NRA is usually very vocal about self-defense issues . Does not pass the sniff test . Beware of trolls and shills .

Great movie . Why did they never make a sequel? Fred Ward and Joel Grey were great in that film .Very under rated .Loved Wilford Brimley in " The Natural " . You could tell he was as nice off screen as on . RIP .He will be sorely missed .

Didn't see the honoring of Floyd. Did see everyone standing during Canadian and U.S. anthems. What source do you cite for the whining about racism ? Can't find a news clip about that. NHL seems to be the only one not bending the knee to political correctness. My 3 sons all play hockey and will be extremely disappointed if this is true.

Trace back to George Soros' Open Society Foundation which funded the campaigns of D.A.'s who foment chaos , lawlessness and disorder . The D.A. in St.Louis who is pressing charges against the McCloskeys received $ 50 K from a subsiiary of OSF. This obscures the money trail . Defunding police , releasing criminals and refused to bring charges for theft of under $ 950 ( California ) all are tactics to undermine the rule of law . Ignore the rioters but prosecute the innocent who are exercising 2nd Amendment right to self defense : these are the tactics to execute a strategy of destroying America from within . Add in the shennanigans of the SPLC and the ACLU and you have a recipe for the implementation of an authoritarian regime that will morph into Socialism and then Communism . Incrementalism in action . We must fight it even if it comes to armed conflict.Thomas Jefferson said " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" ( Letter to John Adams ' son-in -law , William Stephens Smith 1787 ).

Babylon Bee satire . Also , see Bee article that says Trump wants to pass Presidency on to eldest male heir by new rule of right of succession . Bound to drive the Leftists crazy because they can't take a joke !

Check out the Podesta Brothers and Pizzagate . Also , Lady Gaga claiming to be possessed by a demon while filming a video in the desert . Refer to Mel Gibson's comment that Hollywood runs on the blood of children and that pedophilia is so normalized that no one lifts an eyebrow. Check out references to adrenochrome harvesting in Hunter S. Thompson's book " Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ". Pedophilia runs deep and wide among Hollywood Elites and the Political Elites that connect with them .

The State A.G. is a conservative Republican who strongly advocated for the charges to be dropped .Pictured is the D.A. of St. Louis who brought the charges . Her campaign for D.A. accepted $ 50,000 from George Soros . She is an anti-law plant who mandate is to sow chaos per the Soros formula . California D.A. Xavier Becerra directed police to not prosecute any theft under $ 950 , resulting in shopping mall grab theft that is out of control . Soros has contributed to D.A. races in Houston , Virginia , and Maryland to promote lawlessness .
