New York Times puts out another left-wing hit piece on Justice Clarence Thomas
So, judges usually are not allowed to have associates now, based on The New York Occasions.
The liberal organ’s character assassination of Supreme Courtroom Justice Clarence Thomas continued over the weekend with a hefty hit piece titled “The place Clarence Thomas Entered an Elite Circle and Opened a Door to the Courtroom.”
The opposite 4,000 phrases are laced with the same old smear and innuendo we’ve come to anticipate from the left of their makes an attempt to destroy the court docket’s most consequential justice.
Let’s minimize to the chase.
That is the Democrats and their media allies undermining an establishment they will’t management.
That’s all.
Their downside with Thomas is that he’s black, conservative and efficient.
And that isn’t allowed.
Should you’re not in lockstep with the leftist agenda, then “you ain’t black,” to cite Joe Biden’s immortal phrase when he misplaced his mood with a black radio host he thought was not being sufficiently obsequious.
Dems hate Clarence Thomas, all proper.
The second African-American choose to take a seat on the court docket and its longest-serving member, he’s a risk to their lock on the black vote and a rebuke to their self-serving “fairness” agenda of institutionally sanctioned racism.
However there may be nothing amongst all the skinny tales of wealthy associates to justify all of the journalistic assets, nothing to recommend that Thomas, 75, has allowed these friendships to affect his selections, or that his associates ever have had instances earlier than the court docket.
The Occasions tries to show Thomas’ altruistic efforts mentoring a era of promising black college students right into a destructive.
It portrays as sinister his membership of the Horatio Alger Affiliation, whose web site says it “assists highschool college students who’ve confronted and overcome nice obstacles to pursue their desires via larger schooling.”
How nefarious are you able to get, serving to underprivileged youngsters go to varsity.
Position mannequin
Thomas, the Occasions tut tuts, has been “assembly with and mentoring the recipients of thousands and thousands of {dollars} a 12 months in Horatio Alger faculty scholarships, a lot of whom come from backgrounds that mirror his personal.”
Disgrace on him!
The affiliation in 1992 gave Thomas its lifetime membership award, offered every year to individuals who uphold the values of “private initiative and perseverance, management and dedication to excellence, perception within the free-enterprise system and the significance of upper schooling [and] neighborhood service.”
Its biography of Thomas reveals that he embodies these values.
“Clarence Thomas was born in 1948 in Pin Level, Georgia. When he was two, his father deserted the household, leaving his mom to care for 2 sons. When Thomas was seven, they moved into his grandfather’s tenement constructing in Savannah, the place they shared their one-room house’s kitchen with different residents. . . .
“Throughout his early childhood, Thomas attended segregated public and parochial faculties. . . .
“He graduated within the high 7 % of his class and went on to obtain a regulation diploma from Yale in 1974.”
What successful story! What a task mannequin!
However, no, the Occasions and the Dems need to destroy his status in order that no impoverished black child will comply with in his footsteps. You probably have a single egalitarian bone in your physique, you need to see how detestable their hatchet jobs are.
Past the ‘pal’
The Occasions sneers at Thomas’ comparatively modest monetary circumstances — as a result of he used his brains and work ethic to serve on the Supreme Courtroom the previous three many years quite than make a fortune with Massive Regulation.
It baselessly suggests he has an unhealthy curiosity in materials wealth: “His friendships solid via Horatio Alger have introduced him proximity to a lifefashion of unimaginable materials privilege.
“Through the years, his Horatio Alger associates have welcomed him at their trip retreats, organized V.I.P. entry to sporting occasions and invited him to their lavish events.”
Billionaire David Sokol is singled out for particular consideration. In 2015, the Occasions notes, “the Sokols hosted the Thomases for a go to to their sprawling Montana ranch.”
So. What.
Try this large scoop: “Justice Thomas and Mr. Sokol have loved royal remedy at [University of Nebraska] soccer video games, sitting in a collection with all-access passes, based on emails obtained via a public information request.”
Really heinous habits.
“One 2020 photograph reveals the justice and Mr. Sokol standing behind a barbecue grill, sporting matching white chef’s toques.”
How will the republic survive such an assault?
The Occasions additionally went digging for filth on Thomas’ home buy in Virginia and got here up with nothing.
He and his spouse Ginny “took out a 95 % mortgage to purchase the $522,000 home [in 1992], property information present. (Since then, the Thomases have refinanced a number of occasions and brought out traces of credit score, and . . . property information point out that they owe as a lot as they did after they purchased it.)”
In different phrases, Thomas lives inside his means, in contrast to others in Washington, DC.
Oh, that the Occasions would present a smidge of the identical curiosity about “working class Joe” Biden’s lavish actual property holdings and wealthy associates.
Hunter’s shrink tells fact with ‘excessive’ artwork
Hunter Biden’s former psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow now additionally has a sideline profession as an artist — and he has created a surreal new art work for his former affected person: a huge prescription kind advising him to “blow paint,” not “blow.”
The primary son has taken up a portray profession in recent times, creating artworks by which he blows droplets of ink with a metallic straw onto paper — after which tries to promote them for as a lot as $500,000 a chunk.

It’s such a straightforward approach to dodge your interior fact [but] one factor about emotional ache is you may’t outrun it eternally.”
Photographs from Hunter’s deserted laptop computer of his Porsche dashboard that present him hitting speeds of 172 mph in the summertime of 2018, or showing to smoke crack behind the wheel, additionally prompted remark from Ablow.
Ablow stated that when he noticed the photographs just lately within the press, he considered them as a “metaphor “for Hunter’s life.”
“It doesn’t take a psychiatrist, and definitely not his psychiatrist, to ask whether or not that image doesn’t inform the story of his life in a roundabout way as a result of he misplaced his mom and his sister in a automotive crash [when he was two] and there he’s in a automotive going at 170 miles excessive on crack.
“You may’t outrace that magnitude of loss. You may’t drug your self into oblivion after you’ve skilled that. . . .
“Therefore the suggestion to be an artist, if that’s the place your ardour is, and don’t drug your self.
“Artists are sometimes reprocessing ache however productively. They’re alchemists. They take ache and so they flip it into significant photographs.”
Partisan budgets?

Particular Counsel Jack Smith, investigating former president Donald Trump’s dealing with of categorised paperwork, has spent $9.25 million up to now, based on Justice Division expenditure paperwork launched Friday.
That’s virtually eight occasions greater than the $1.2 million spent by Robert Hur, who’s investigating President Joe Biden for a similar factor.

Whereas Smith has a wider scope, it’s clear his workplace is extra energetic and proactive than Hur’s, and never simply because it leaks extra.
For instance, Smith spent $1.9 million on “contractual providers” – which included $1,674,947 for “litigation/investigative help”.
Hur spent simply $29,823 on “contractual providers”, and that was only for “IT providers” and “transcripts”. No “litigation” or “investigation.”
You don’t actually need to have a look at the books to know which Particular Counsel is a killer on a mission and which is a pussycat coloring contained in the traces.
