WAYNE ROOT: Back in 2015, I Wrote, “Is Supreme Court Justice John Roberts Being Blackmailed?” This Question is as Valid Today as a Decade Ago.

Chief Justice Roberts
By Wayne Allyn Root
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Way back in 2015, I asked in one of my nationally-syndicated columns, if Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts was being blackmailed?
I laid out the case. It seemed obvious to me that he was either being blackmailed, or bribed, or he was a fraud from day one- a Deep State, liberal plant disguised as a “conservative” put in place to vote the wrong way on key issues.
Because Justice Roberts always votes against us, against the obvious conservative decision, for most, if not all, of the important, life-or-death decisions that change this country’s direction.
Look at the record.
Roberts voted to protect and save the Obamacare disaster and scam- TWICE. That destroyed the entire healthcare system of the United States.
Roberts voted against asking about citizenship in the census; he voted against Texas being allowed to secure its own border with razor wire; he voted against Texas having standing to challenge the 2020 election; he just voted against the Trump administration’s attempt to withhold pay from USAID contractors- which of course, protects the Deep State’s fraud, waste, looting and abuse of taxpayers.
And now just a day ago, Roberts publicly rebuked and rejected President Trump’s desire to see an out-of-control federal judge impeached for trying to stop the deportation of illegal alien gangbangers who have committed the worst crimes in our country.
Roberts tried to intimidate Trump and fool the nation. The Supreme Court has nothing to do with the impeachment of a judge. Only Congress can decide that.
Again, I ask, “Who’s side is Roberts on?” Because he sure isn’t on the side of conservative patriots.
Again, I ask, “Is Justice John Roberts being blackmailed?”
Here is my column from 2015. Compare it to what’s happening today. Nothing has changed in a decade.
Was Supreme Court Justice Roberts Blackmailed?
It’s time to start asking the question. It’s time to be cynical. It’s time to assume the worst of this government. Has Supreme Court Justice Roberts been blackmailed or intimidated? I would put nothing by this Obama administration that lives and rules by the Chicago thug playbook.
Doubt me? On the same day that Justice Roberts provided the key vote to save Obamacare again…the IRS watchdog reported to Congress that the IRS purposely destroyed evidence of a crime.
Is the idea implausible that this same Obama administration that orders IRS attacks, then orders destruction of key evidence, would stop at nothing to save Obama’s signature achievement (Obamacare)?
Is it impossible to believe that Obama and his socialist cabal that learned from Saul Alinsky that “the ends justify the means” would hold something over a Supreme Court Justice’s head to save Obamacare?
It’s time to ask the question loudly and boldly because something is clearly wrong in Washington DC.
Is that the purpose of government agencies like the IRS and NSA- to listen to us…to watch us…to find something we’ve done wrong…and then use it to intimidate, harass, threaten, or extort key political figures, so that Obama can “fundamentally change America?”
Because something clearly smells rotten in Washington, D.C. Like “the mafia delivering a dead fish to your door” rotten.
Justice Roberts was appointed by President Bush to become the key conservative vote in important decisions that affect “the fundamental transformation of America.” Justice Roberts clearly was born, raised and groomed for one job in life- to join that Supreme Court, strike down Obamacare, protect the Constitution, and end Obama’s big government overreach.
Yet Roberts is the man responsible for saving Obamacare-twice. His legacy will be that he protected big government, supported government overreach, wrecked healthcare, and helped to hasten the fundamental transformation of America.
This doesn’t seem odd to you? Doesn’t something smell rotten?
I have felt the same way about Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for years now. Something is wrong. All it takes to destroy America and pass Obama’s agenda is to control a few key powerful positions in DC. And all it would take to do that is blackmail. Find out the weak link of a key political leader or government official and hold it over their heads.
Am I being too cynical? Really? Did you think former House Speaker Dennis Hastert might be a child molester who had gay sex with underage boys? See:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/dennis-hastert-scandal/story?id=31443570
Because Hastert sure had everyone fooled. He looked like a choir boy. But he clearly did something terrible that forced him to agree to pay $1 million dollars in blackmail. And it’s odd that the government knew about it. How did they know to question him about taking $1 million of his own money, out of his own bank account?
Maybe they know everything.
What makes anyone think the government and its 3-letter agencies (IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA) don’t know everything bad about everyone in key positions in DC? What makes you think that blackmail isn’t happening every day to conservative politicians- except it’s the government doing the blackmailing?
You know…the same government that asked the IRS to target key critics of President Obama (like me) and then ordered the IRS to destroy the evidence.
Just a guess, but here’s how I think it goes.
I think they offer a carrot and stick to key politicians or judges like John Boehner or Justice Roberts. They threaten to expose something terrible- like an affair, or corruption, or immorality that would shock the nation, ruin your career, destroy your legacy, destroy your marriage, destroy your relationship with your children and leave you unemployable after you are forced to resign. That’s what’s behind “Door number one.”
Or if you see the light and vote our way, you get to continue playing big shot, your legacy is untouched, your family loves you, you get to stay in office, and you retire someday to a $5 million per year lobbying job (like Dennis Hastert). That’s what’s behind “Door number two.”
Which would you choose?
Trust me- those options are being offered every day by the Obama Crime Family to key political figures in DC. Republicans are being blackmailed, intimidated, extorted and bribed. That explains Justice Roberts and the Supremes ruling against us- AGAIN. That explains why we keep winning elections, yet we keep gaining nothing and losing everything. It’s all been fixed.
The Obama Crime Family is in charge.

Former AOC Campaign Organizer Arrested Over Terror Threats Against Jewish High School

A former campaign organizer for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been charged over alleged terror threats she made against a Jewish high school.
Iman Abdul, who previously worked as a youth organizer for AOC, was arrested on Friday for allegedly urging her 25,000 social media followers to “attack” the Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences in Manhattan Beach.
“If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason … Lexus driving Israhell (sic) loving Zionisits (sic) all attend here,” she wrote in a social media post, which has since been deleted.
“They’ve all gone on ‘Birthright,’” she added added, referencing a program that provides free 10-day trips to Israel for young Jews.
The post in question showed the location of the school on Google Maps so that her followers could locate it.
According to The New York Post, officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) took Abdul into custody at her Brooklyn residence on Friday.
She was later charged with making her making terror threats, aggravated harassment, threatening mass harm, and endangering the welfare of children
In the summer of 2018, she was involved in the Democratic primary campaigns of progressive figures Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and state Senator Julia Salazar, even serving as a paid canvasser for Salazar.
Abdul’s post was first flagged by the online campaign group StopAntisemitsm, who said she should be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

She later messaged the group directly, where she denied having made physical threats of violence.
“I never called for an attack on the school in the sense of mass organization or not even individual people attacking individuals, that’s literally stupid,” she wrote.
“I called for an attack on the school, the Zionist institution funded by our public dollars … we have every right to verbally attack the school.”
Iman, who states she is from Lebanon, admits to calling for an attack on the school.

She has since deleted all her social media accounts and is expected in court at a later date.

Jimmy Kimmel Blames ‘Repulsive’ Liberal Activists For Trump’s Return to Power (VIDEO)

Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel has blamed “repulsive” liberal activists for enabling President Donald Trump’s return to power.
During an appearance on the Sarah Silverman Podcast on Thursday, Kimmel said without a shred of irony that “loud voices” had scared people away from the Democratic Party.
“I’s not the party. It’s not the majority,” Kimmel insisted. “ It’s the loud voices that scare people from saying what they believe and make you think twice about a joke or whatever.”
“You know, a lot of their points are valid, but a lot of them are also just repulsive, in that they repel people,” he continued.
“They go like, ‘Oh, you’re no fun. I don’t want to be around you.’ And I think that if you had to boil it down to one thing, that’s kind of what it is.”

It is not the first time that Kimmel, who is himself a committed left-wing activist, has accused humorless liberals of costing the Democrats the 2024 election.
“I think a lot of the outrage is completely manufactured, and it’s like, a lot of these people who are angry aren’t really angry,” Kimmel said back in April.
”I think these liberals who’ve done such a good job of viciously attacking comedians are a big part of the reason why Trump is the president right now.”
So Close, Yet So Far: Jimmy Kimmel Actually Nails 1 Reason Trump’s Winning
Following Trump’s victory last November, Kimmel choked up on air as he moaned about the “hard-working immigrants” who might be deported under the administration.
Last month, Kimmel had a social media meltdown after his fellow late-night comedian Stephen Colbert was canned by CBS.
“Love you, Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS,” he wrote at the time.
President Trump, meanwhile, warned that Kimmel may well be next on the chopping block.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” Trump wrote after hearing the news of Colbert’s firing. “His talent was even less than his ratings.”
“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he continued.

Today, a meeting of National Security Advisers from the US, UK, as well as European ‘allies’ and Ukrainians, is being held, hosted by Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Vance.

Daily Mail reported:
“The aim of the meeting is to bring together advisors from the US, Europe and Ukraine – it is understood to have been requested by the US.
A Downing Street spokesperson said that Keir Starmer and Volodymyr Zelensky agreed the meeting would be a ‘vital forum to discuss progress towards securing a just and lasting peace’.
‘Both leaders welcomed President Trump’s desire to bring this barbaric war to an end and agreed that we must keep up the pressure on Putin to end his illegal war,’ the spokesperson added.”

This meeting follows the news that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a peace summit in Alaska on August 15.
“’The highly anticipated meeting between myself, as President of the United States of America, and President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, will take place next Friday, August 15, 2025, in the Great State of Alaska,’ Trump wrote. ‘Further details to follow. Thank you for your attention to this matter!’”
This stay by Vance highlights that Foreign Secretary Lammy has somehow managed to become closer to the Trump administration, having previously called the president a ‘Neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath’.
