VR47 - Federal agents raided Ilhan Omar's house this week, possibly over a decades-old conspiracy theory. Matt Explains what the media are getting wrong about the incident. Along the way we hear from Russian foreign correspondent Benny Johnson and his "deep research."

and these are the same members of Congress who are in a permanent uproar because Jack Smith's investigation verified that the President had phoned them during the January 6 riot?

Not sure if the OA team saw this, but yesterday Sotomayor and Gorsuch included comments when denying cert on a double jeopardy case (the immigrant has since been deported so it's moot): https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/101326zor_qol1.pdf Here's the underlying 10th circuit ruling, finding that convicting someone twice for being in the country after removal doesn't violate double jeopardy. The 2nd arrest was after he was released serving the 1st sentence and ordered not to leave Oklahoma (with no new removal order) - he never left the country between the two convictions. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca10/24-7029/24-7029-2025-09-26.html It's plausible SCOTUS would have overturned if they heard the case, Gorsuch might be able to get Barrett or Roberts on his side.... but we won't get that, so hearing a lawyer explain exactly how wrong the 10th circuit was would help.

Matt fights like a dairy farmer.

How appropriate. You fight like a cow!

I remember reading a blog post somewhere how the "you'll get more conservative as you age" thing is more a product of survivorship bias than it is an Actual Thing. Something something a system made by selfish bastards for selfish bastards lets selfish bastards live longer while minorities, women, and people who are not selfish bastards get ground up in the gears.

Hay Matt that guy you knew who got citizenship illegally in the 1980s. Suppose he had a kid (who was born outside the US). Would they lose their birthright citizenship if he was ever found out?

Gmork

My theory is that the meaning of "conservative" has changed. It used to be the case that the older you got, the more you wanted things to be like they were when you were younger. It meant resistant to big changes. But now "conservative" means radical Nazi and I don't envision a lot of otherwise progressive young people aging into that.

Y’all, the David Brooks backstory is even worse. Not only did he leave his wife for a research assistant half his age, HIS WIFE HAD CONVERTED FOR HIM, AND CHANGED HER NAME AS PART OF HER CONVERSION.

Matt Cameron

I gamed this out in my notes yesterday for the parallel issue presented here in the Omar situation and I think it's a no in both cases. Or it absolutely should be at least--obviously, it would be deeply unfair to punish a child that way and even now our law does not generally do that

Matt Cameron

also the truly unbelievable part I totally forgot to mention: the book they were working on together at the time was called THE ROAD TO CHARACTER. Some roads are longer than others I guess

Matt, you and I are a similar age and I feel a sense of validation when you get a reference and Thomas has no idea. Loved Monkey Island so much!

Matt Cameron

I mean I would at least change the name of my book! HW Bush's drug czar William Bennet had a similar thing--literally put out a "Book of Virtues" before finally confessing to a massive gambling problem. Just stop claiming to be the moral authority and no one will be disappointed

Matt Cameron

for whatever it's worth I can pretty well guarantee that I will *never* miss a '90s PC gaming reference

Listening to Benny Johnson who I had never heard of was so painful it hurt my head. I hate this administration so much. I would love to be Scandinavian. They are the happiest people as noted. I hope to go next Spring. With respect to Danish individual income tax the government sends essentially a draft income tax return based on what has been reported. You have a legal obligation to report other sources of income and special deductions you may be eligible for that the government has no information on. So for some with just reported salary or reported dividend income things like that the draft return may be correct but not for anyone self employed, the small business owner anyone with real estate income not so simple. I have so much to write about how I would change US tax and what I know about worldwide tax systems I might share on Facebook. Can the US tax code be simplified.? Absolutely, but not made simple. I believe a modern complex progressive society needs complexity in allocation of tax burdens to be fair.

The real immigration baloney is Melania Trump immigrating. Basically Trump paid someone to get her admitted. She got a genius visa or something which clearly should have gone to someone who deserved and who could actually make a positive contribution to this country. And then she brought her parents-fruit of the poisonous tree!
