The American system was founded on a simple idea: three branches of government, each with its distinct role. The president executes the law, Congress creates it, and the judiciary interprets it. However, at some point, activist judges became more than just referees; they began seeing themselves as emperors, wielding gavels like scepters and rewriting the rules to fit their desires. These black-robed radicals believe they possess more power than the president, and it’s time for conservatives to confront them as the tyrants they have become.
Consider the immigration saga under Donald Trump. In 2017, Trump issued an executive order—a travel ban targeting countries plagued by terrorism. It was bold, unapologetic, and squarely within his constitutional authority to protect national security.
Then came the activist judges. Federal courts in Hawaii and Washington state blocked the order, with unelected judges like James Robart and Derrick Watson acting as armchair commander-in-chief. Their rationale? Trump’s campaign rhetoric caused hurt feelings, so the policy must be discriminatory. Forget the Constitution or the will of the voters who placed Trump in office—these judges concluded that their moral superiority outweighs executive power. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the ban, but not before years of chaos demonstrated the reality: activist judges do not interpret the law; they create it.

Then there’s the abortion racket. For decades, Roe v. Wade stood as a symbol of judicial overreach, a 1973 decision concocted from thin air by justices who discovered a “right” to abortion lurking in the shadows of the Constitution. Fast forward to 2022, when Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health finally overturned it, returning the issue to the states.
You’d think that would settle things, but activist judges aren’t finished. In states like Ohio and Michigan, lower courts have rushed to block pro-life laws, twisting state constitutions into pretzels to keep the abortion mills operational. These judges don’t care that Dobbs stripped their federal protection; they’ll concoct new rights faster than you can say “living document.” They’re not answering to voters or executives; they’re answering to Planned Parenthood and the progressive elite.
What about guns? After Trump’s ATF tried to crack down on bump stocks—those nasty little devices that turn rifles into machine guns—activist judges swooped in again. 2023, the Fifth Circuit struck down the ban, with judges like Jennifer Walker Elrod arguing that the agency had overstepped.
Fair enough, except the pattern repeats: courts don’t just check the executive—they supplant it, deciding policy from the bench. Meanwhile, in blue states, judges uphold every gun control scheme the Left dreams up, ignoring Bruen (2022), in which the Supreme Court demanded strict historical scrutiny. These aren’t rulings; they’re power grabs, with judges picking winners and losers based on their politics, not the Second Amendment.
The arrogance is staggering. Millions elect presidents, and these presidents are accountable to the people every four years. Judges, however, are appointed for life, so they’re insulated from consequences, yet they behave as if they run the show.
When Trump attempted to end DACA—Obama’s illegal amnesty-by-fiat—courts blocked him, with judges like Nicholas Garaufis in New York asserting that the move was “arbitrary.” But when Biden pushes climate edicts or vaccine mandates, activist judges support him, and rubber-stamping executives overreach as long as it’s their guy. The double standard is evident, but the message is clear: these judges believe they’re above the Oval Office, holding veto power that no election can challenge.
This isn’t what the founders intended. Article III of the Constitution assigns courts a limited role: to resolve “cases” and “controversies,” not to dictate national policy. Alexander Hamilton referred to the judiciary as the “least dangerous” branch, lacking the purse of Congress or the sword of the executive. But tell that to the modern judiciary, where lifetime appointees like Ruth Bader Ginsburg (before her passing) and Sonia Sotomayor treat the bench as a progressive throne, issuing decrees that undermine tradition and sovereignty. They don’t just see themselves as ranking above the president—they consider themselves above us all.
Conservatives must act. Demand that Senate Republicans thoroughly question judicial nominees—no more stealth activists slipping through. Advocate for term limits for federal judges; life tenure was never intended to create demigods. And when rogue judges act, eventually, they will force a situation in which governors and presidents find themselves channeling Andrew Jackson: “The court has made its decision; now let them enforce it.” The judiciary has no army—its power depends on compliance, and we don’t have to go along with it.
Activist judges aren’t the guardians of justice; they are usurpers in robes, intoxicated by their authority. They have transformed courts into super-legislatures, bypassing both presidents and voters. The Right cannot remain passive while these petty tyrants dismantle our republic. It’s time to strip the emperor’s clothes and remind them: in America, the people rule—not the gavel.
This is verging on a crisis and how to rein these individuals in is a controversial topic.
Opening day of the baseball season was yesterday and it included several firsts. Austin Wells was the first Yankee catcher to hit in the leadoff spot. He had the first hit of the season and the first home run with a solo shot in the first.
Orioles outfielder Tyler O’neill hit an opening day homer for the 6th straight season.
Nats starter Mackenzie Gore fanned 13 Phillies yesterday. That feat – 13 K in an opening day game – had only been done once before, by the great Bob Gibson.

Reported Arrests of China’s Top Military Brass Indicate Political Crisis, Experts Say
from the Epoch Times
In what has been described by one China expert as potentially among the “most dangerous developments in the world today,” Gen. He Weidong, the third-in-command of communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and several other military leaders, have reportedly been arrested amid the Chinese regime’s ongoing military purge.
It’s unclear whether Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping or his political enemies were behind the alleged purge of the Fujian clique, one of two groups considered to be Xi’s allies. The possibility of the second scenario has raised some concerns that Xi may become more aggressive on the international front if he believes that he’s on the verge of losing power.
He, the second-ranked vice chairman of the CCP’s Central Military Commission (CMC) and a member of the Party’s Politburo, has not been seen in public since March 11, when he attended this year’s closing session of the National People’s Congress (NPC), the Chinese regime’s rubber-stamp legislature and the highest state organ of power.
During the two weeks, He and the CMC’s first-ranked vice chairman, Zhang Youxia, were both absent from a seminar that marked the CCP’s enactment of the Anti-Secession Law 20 years ago. The law targets so-called Taiwan separatists. Neither were they seen by Xi’s side during his visit to China’s southwestern Yunnan Province. Their absences were considered unusual because such events had previously been attended by at least one of the two CMC vice chairmen.
Zhao Lanjian, a former investigative journalist in China who is now based in the United States, recently told The Epoch Times that at least three sources had confirmed to him that He had been detained on March 11.
According to Zhao Lanjian, who first reported He’s alleged arrest on social media platform X on March 13, the PLA general was taken away shortly after the NPC session and subsequently had a heart attack and was detained at the 301 Hospital, a top PLA hospital that treats the CCP’s high-level officials. The hospital is often mentioned in rumors concerning political assassinations within the Chinese regime.
Zhao Lanjian cited one of the sources, saying that the CMC is reviewing He’s speeches as CMC vice chairman, along with documents, photos, and videos involving him, to remove his influence.
The information was corroborated by Cai Shenkun, a China affairs commentator who previously broke the stories of the removals of former Defense Minister Li Shangfu and Adm. Miao Hua from their posts.
In a YouTube livestream on March 24, Cai said the PLA’s theater command leaders have been notified of He’s arrest.
More Rumored Arrests, Absence
Besides He, several other PLA commanders from the Fujian faction are also said to have been placed under investigation, according to Zhao Lanjian and Cai.
Zhao Lanjian said that He’s secretary has been investigated, possibly for leaking information. Zhao Lanjian also said those arrested include Zhao Keshi, former head of the PLA’s General Logistics Department, and several other military commanders from Fujian Province, where Xi spent 17 years before his rise to power.
On March 25, Cai said Lin Xiangyang, commander of the Eastern Theater Command, was arrested on March 24 for leaking a “so-called Taiwan Strait battle plan.” It’s unclear to whom the information was allegedly leaked.
Meanwhile, the absence of Defense Minister Dong Jun from a plenary meeting of the State Council earlier this month also raised some eyebrows.
So far, Beijing has not commented on the reported arrests or provided an explanation for Dong’s absence.
China’s foreign ministry didn’t respond to The Epoch Times’ inquiry about the individuals’ whereabouts by publication time.
‘Unprecedented’ Infighting
Since Xi assumed power in 2012, the CCP leader has launched a sweeping anti-corruption campaign. According to a recently unclassified document published by the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, nearly 5 million officials were investigated and found guilty by 2022.
However, the campaign “more deeply reflects a party-directed securitization, or a targeting of political indiscipline and ideological impurity, particularly at the highest levels of government, in an effort to preserve the CCP’s domestic control and legitimacy,” the report stated.
Xi’s policies, particularly his anti-corruption campaign and centralization of power, created enemies within the regime, such as Party elders, so-called CCP princelings, and some of the PLA’s top brass.
In the past two years, a number of senior CCP officials and PLA commanders have been dismissed or suspended following their unexplained disappearances.
Some analysts have said that Zhang, who’s from the Shaanxi gang, another faction that was considered to be Xi’s ally, may have been behind the more recent purges, which targeted the Fujian clique.
Political commentator and China expert Gordon Chang said the rumored arrests of He and Zhao Keshi “could be the most dangerous developments in the world today,” as the PLA “does not look either stable or loyal to China’s paramount leader,” no matter who was behind the purges or whether the rumors are true.
“The fact that they are circulating tells us that there are elements trying to destabilize the Chinese ruler,” Chang wrote in an articlepublished in The Hill on March 19.
“A Xi under siege could decide to lash out.”
In an interview with The Epoch Times, Zhao Lanjian said the latest development suggests that the CCP’s internal struggle has reached an “unprecedented” level.
Either Xi has “completely abandoned” his old subordinates or “anti-Xi forces within the military” are eliminating Xi’s people, he said.
Zhao Lanjian said the instability within the PLA means that it won’t be able to launch an invasion of Taiwan in the near future.
Shen Ming-Shih, research fellow at Taiwan’s Institute for National Defense and Security Research and director of the institute’s division of national security research, told The Epoch Times that Zhang’s power appears to be growing with the reported downfall of Xi’s followers and the presence of Zhang’s allies in key military positions.
Shen said that as Xi fends off those who want to oust him, the control of the military “has become crucial.”
Chi Yue-yi, a PLA expert at the Institute for National Defense and Security Research, said he believes that Xi is still steadily maintaining his power.
While there may be “different voices” within the CCP and PLA cliques that oppose Xi, they don’t seem to be “enough to form an anti-Xi force,” he told The Epoch Times.Cai said on his YouTube livestream that if the Chinese leader’s position was under great threat, he could start a war in the Taiwan Strait to change the status quo.

Major League Baseball returns today with 28 of the 30 MLB teams playing. Tampa Bay and Colorado are the two not playing.
First pitch for the first game – the Brewers at the Yankees – is 1505 EDT. That matchup features Freddie Peralta (11-9, 3.68 ERA last year) facing off against Carlos Rodon (16-9, 3.96 ERA). The game time temp is expected to be a sunny but chilly 49°. That kind of thermometer reading is pretty normal for the Bronx at the end of March.
L-Freddie Peralta, R-Carlos Rodon
Other marquis matchups include Last year’s NL Cy Young winner Chris Sale and his Atlanta Braves facing Michael King in San Diego and last years AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and the Tigers up against the Dodgers and two time Cy Young winner Blake Snell in Chavez Ravine.
Among the story lines for the 2025 season is the question of whether the Dodgers can repeat as World Series Champs. They picked up the above-mentioned Snell, starter Roki Sasaki from the All Nippon League and lefty reliever Tanner Scott. Scott posted a 1.75 ERA and reached his first All-Star Game last year after splitting the season between the Marlins and the Padres.
Will Aaron Judge hit 63 homers this year? Will he win the Triple Crown after just missing it – he led in homers and RBI but was 10 % points behind Bobby Witt jr for Average – last year? Can Shohei Ohtani be the first member of the 60-60 club? Who will be this years Cy Young winners?
Well, we’ll start finding that out starting today.

If you have already read the following, my apologies. I feel it is a disturbing truth and worth repeating.
The left knew they were lying to us all along
Victor David Hanson
For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.
Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.
They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.
A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.
The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.
The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”
Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.
Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.
Indeed, that was the point.
Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.
His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.
By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.
One, it was completely fallacious — fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.
Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.
Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.
No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.
The pornographic pictures, the evidence of prostitution and drug use, the electronic communications implicating Joe Biden in his family’s illicit shake-down operation of foreign governments — all were never challenged by anyone who was associated with the laptop’s contents.
Yet future Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, along with former interim CIA Director Mike Morrell, sought to fabricate a colossal lie to arm their candidate, Joe Biden, with plausible denial in the last presidential debate before the 2020 election.
They rounded up a rogue’s gallery of 51 now utterly discredited former intelligence authorities to lie to the nation that the laptop was likely fake.
All knew the FBI had verified the laptop. But they also knew that their titles would empower their lies that the Russians likely invented the laptop to aid the sinister Trump.
And the ruse worked like a charm.
In the debate, Biden cited their lies chapter and verse to claim the incriminating laptop was fake. A lying media damned Trump as a puppet of Vladimir Putin. Biden, little more than a week later, won the 2020 election.
The Biden administration deliberately destroyed the southern border and welcomed 12 million illegal aliens. And then it lied that Biden had no power to stop the influx.
The media fabricated the excuse that “comprehensive immigration reform” was needed to enforce federal immigration laws already on the books.
Upon inauguration, Trump, in a matter of days, stopped what Biden had deliberately engineered for years.
Biden’s handlers wanted new millions of poor illegal aliens, dependent on social services, to swarm the borders.
They saw them as future voters and constituents to fuel their victim/victimizer Marxist binaries.
And they now quietly see their efforts as a huge success — knowing that it will be near impossible to find the millions of illegal aliens they welcomed in.
All these lies have divided the country and permanently damaged the U.S.
The perpetrators have neither apologized for their lies nor tried to either deny or substantiate them.
No one involved has ever been held legally accountable.
The legacy media permanently ruined its reputation and will likely never be seen as credible again.
The Biden administration, overseer of many of these lies, will be regarded as the most duplicitous and dishonest presidency in modern history.
