Democrat Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has introduced legislation to pack the U.S. Supreme Court. His bill would add six judges to the court over the course of a few years.

Wyden claims his bill is necessary to fix the supposedly tarnished image of the court. He fails to mention that it is the Democrats who have done everything they can in recent years to smear the court and all of the conservative justices.

This has nothing to do with fixing the court’s image, it’s about fixing the politics of the court to favor the progressive left.

The Washington Post clearly thinks this is a very reasonable idea:

Sweeping bill to overhaul Supreme Court would add six justices

A sweeping bill introduced by a Democratic senator Wednesday would greatly increase the size of the Supreme Court, make it harder for the justices to overturn laws, require justices to undergo audits and remove roadblocks for high court nominations.

The legislation by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is one of the most ambitious proposals to remake a high court that has suffered a sharp decline in its public approval after a string of contentious decisions and ethics scandals in recent years. It has little chance of passing at the moment, since Republicans have generally opposed efforts to overhaul the court.

Wyden, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said the goal of the bill is to restore public confidence in a battered institution. He said he hopes to get parts of the bill passed, even if the whole package is not embraced by lawmakers…

The bill’s most significant measure would increase the number of justices from nine to 15 over the course of 12 years. The staggered format over two or three administrations is aimed at diminishing the chance that one political party would pack the courts with its nominees.

In the tweet below, Carrie Severino of Judicial Network outlines the worst parts of the bill:

With 40 days until Election Day, Democrats just rolled out the most radical and dangerous legislation to date aimed at destroying the Supreme Court as we know it.

The new radical bill put forward by Senate Democrats is the worst attack on the Court since FDR. It will:

– Pack the Supreme Court with 6 more justices.

– Harass the justices with mandatory yearly IRS audits.

– Require a ruling by two-thirds of the Supreme Court and the circuit courts of appeals to overturn a law passed by Congress rather than a simple Court majority.

– Expand the number of federal judicial circuits from 13 to 15 — adding more than 100 district court judges and more than 60 appellate-level judges — so Democrats can stack the federal bench with more unfit radicals.

With 40 days until Election Day, Democrats just rolled out the most radical and dangerous legislation to date aimed at destroying the Supreme Court as we know it.

Democrats despise the U.S. Supreme Court because they don’t control it. If Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 and appointed three left wing judges, there would be no complaints from them about the court.

Donald Trump lives rent-free in Robert De Niro’s head.

After his embarrassing display this summer, where he issued a public statement about his hatred for Trump and was then heckled by Trump supporters and others, you would think he might have learned a lesson. Nope.

De Niro was recently at a Q and A session about the new Francis Ford Coppola film Megalopolis. De Niro couldn’t stay on topic and just talk about the movie. He had to bring up Trump and the election.

This is a classic symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome. People who suffer from it find it impossible not to bring it up, no matter what is being discussed at the time.

Breitbart News has details:

Robert De Niro Repeatedly Derails ‘Megalopolis’ Q&A With Anti-Trump Tirades

Even as legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola tried to keep the panel event for his new film, Megalopolis, on track, the rabidly anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro insisted on going off the rails to attack the former president…

During Monday’s Q&A session that was part of the New York Film Festival, Coppola spoke of the theme in his film of cities falling and being rebuilt, but De Niro used the discussion as an excuse to jump right into the 2024 election.

“I’m worried. I see the things in Francis’ film about that, parallels and so on,” the Raging Bull star railed. “To me, it’s not over until it’s over, and we have to go at this wholeheartedly to beat the Republicans — those Republicans, they’re not real Republicans. Beat Trump. It’s that simple. We cannot have that type of person running this country. Everybody has to get out there and vote, and we have to make it very clear what America is.”

The video below is cued to start at the 27:00 mark where De Niro makes the comments. You’ll notice that he gets a smattering of applause from the audience but remember, these people are fans so it’s not surprising that they would agree with him.

They better have a padded cell ready for De Niro in November if Trump wins the election.

Two years ago, these two unhinged climate change activists from ‘Just Stop Oil’ threw soup on Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ at London’s National Gallery.

Gateway Pundit reported at the time:

Two disturbed women of the activist group Just Stop Oil threw tomato soup over a painting by Vincent van Gogh’s Sunflowers on Friday that was on display at London’s National Gallery.

Phoebe Plummer, 21, from London, and Anna Holland, 20, from Newcastle dumped two cans of Heinz tomato soup all over an $80.99 million painting, which is protected by glass.

This whole incident was captured on film by Damien Gayle, a correspondent for the Guardian. Many people couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.

Now they have been sentenced to some time in prison. The sentence isn’t much, but it’s better than nothing.

These people are never going to stop doing this until there are consequences for their actions.

BREAKING: 3 YEARS 8 MONTHS COMBINED IN PRISON FOR THROWING SOUP

Phoebe and Anna have just been sentenced to 2 years and 20 months in prison respectively after throwing soup over the glass frame of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.

Justice Is Served As Climate Wackjobs Are Sentenced To Years In Prison After Ruining Van Gogh Painting

Two climate protesters that felt the need to take out cans of soup and desecrate Vincent van Gogh’s iconic Sunflowers painting were handed swift justice on Friday as they will now call the inside of a prison cell their home for at least the next year and a half.

Just Stop Oil’s Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland caused more than $10,000 in damages to the painting at London’s National Gallery in October, 2022 when they brilliant felt the need to take out soup and begin throwing it all over the painting (that was covered in glass) as well as the frame (which is where the majority of damage was done)…

However, on Friday a London judge sentenced Plummer to TWO years in prison while Holland will serve 20 months.

“You two simply had no right to do what you did to Sunflowers, and your arrogance in thinking otherwise deserves the strongest condemnation,” Judge Christopher Hehir told them. “The pair of you came within the thickness of a pane of glass of irreparably damaging or even destroying this priceless treasure, and that must be reflected in the sentences I pass.”

They’re lucky their sentences are so short.

Per USA Today:

Two people were arrested after their single-engine plane made an emergency landing on a Southern California highway, and a “large quantity of narcotics” was discovered aboard, according to multiple reports citing local police.

The Piper PA-28 aircraft landed around 1:43 a.m. near Canyon Drive on Highway 76, which runs through San Diego’s North County region, the Oceanside Police Department said, per KTLA and KUSI.

The pilot told police that the plane’s engine was failing, according to the department, per the California-based TV stations. Neither of the individuals aboard the aircraft suffered injuries, police said.

Oceanside police shared a Facebook post on Thursday morning advising the public that a small plane landed on the highway and was blocking a lane of traffic.

President Trump took questions from audience members during his Town Hall in Warren, Michigan, on Friday night and explained in simple terms to a young man who was laid off last week how he plans to stop the invasion of our country and “bring the automobile business back” to Michigan.

Kamala Harris could never take questions from a crowd. She can’t even sit for scripted interviews with leftwing propaganda outlets like CNN without showing the world how unintelligent, incompetent, and unprepared she is.

“We’re going to close the wall, and we’re going to close the border,” President Trump said when asked, “How will you stop this invasion?”

Trump’s answer was pure gold. The crowd went wild.

“At least 21 million people came in during their term and, as we just said, a lot of them are real bad people, real rough people, but they’re also taking a lot of jobs from Americans,” Trump continued.

The Gateway Pundit reported on a bombshell ICE report earlier today, revealing that under Biden and Kamala Harris, over 13,000 murderers, 15,000 rapists, and 425,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens roam free in our country, taking over American towns and jobs. 226,000 face pending criminal charges.

TREASON: ICE Report Reveals Over 13,000 Murderers, 15,000 Rapists, and 425,000 Convicted Criminals Allowed Into America by Biden-Harris Open Border

According to Nico from Plymouth, Michigan, these illegals are not only raping and murdering Americans but "hurting American workers like me."

But Kamala Harris and the Democrats don't care because they need the illegal aliens to stay in power.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that non-citizens and illegal aliens in Phoenix, Arizona, admitted to being registered to vote in an undercover video posted by the Oversight Project. They further expressed interest in voting for Kamala Harris.

Border Czar Kamala Harris visited the Southern Border in Arizona on Friday to take photos and act like she cares about the crisis one month before the election. This was her first time at the border since her only previous trip in mid-2021.

Watch below:

Nico: My name is Nico. I'm from Plymouth, Michigan. Last week, I was laid off at Detroit Diesel. I was an assembler on the line, building diesel engines made in the USA. And my question is about immigration. Illegal Immigrants are hurting American workers like me who are just starting off. How will you stop this invasion?

Trump: Well, very easy. We're going to close the wall, and we're going to close the border. You know, we built, I built hundreds of miles. Nico, I built hundreds of miles of wall and did it well. And we had the best numbers we ever had four years ago, and now we have the worst numbers in the history of the world, not just this country. At least 21 million people came in during their term and, as we just said, a lot of them are real bad people, real rough people, but they're also taking a lot of jobs from Americans, probably happened with you. And the small number of jobs they created were all taken by illegal immigrants in the last short period of time. And we're going to make that change. You look like you'd be great. I'd like to have you make the motor, the engine, the motor of my car, any day, any day of the week. I'll bet you did a great job. I'll bet he did a great job. But we're going to bring the automobile business back…
