The Three Whisky Happy Hour: John Yoo’s Top Five Legal Rules
Lucretia hosts this week’s episode, and puts Steve and John through their paces, challenging both to judge Trump’s winning streak (John isn’t so sure), plus more mixed signals from the Supreme Court, which posted a 2 – 1 record this week. The group also ponders whether and how Congress should now step up on the Biden health cover up scandal, and notice that Congress indeed has explicit constitutional power under the 25th Amendment to pass legislation to make sure that something lilke the Biden coverup never happens again.
But then we get to the main event: John Yoo’s Top Five Legal Rules that everyone should know. Steve is threatening to next week to give his Top Five reasons why a Certain Statute That Cannot Be Uttered here is the key to everything!
And we are happy to report that John survived another turn on “Outnumbered” on Fox News.

The Cuba Play
Cuba, in relation to China and Russia, poses a threat due to the risk of weapons deployment or strategic positioning in the event of an attack on the US homeland.
The Iran War and the Coming Global Struggle
