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.

Victor Reacts: This Is Almost Too Stupid to Be True – NYC Transgender Homeless Shelter (VIDEO)

Democrats continue to somehow subvert the lowest of expectations as they fight their woke crusades.
In a first ever virtue signal, New York City is set to open a transgender only homeless shelter.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
The city of New York is opening the nation’s first transgender-only homeless shelter.
The shelter, a partnership between a local LGBTQ nonprofit and the city government, will cost the city an extraordinary $65 million and will be the first transgender homeless shelter in the nation.
“ We’ve watched so many other corporations and foundations and businesses just like completely turn their back on the community and the city didn’t do it,” said Sean Ebony Coleman, founder and CEO of Destination Tomorrow, the nonprofit that will manage the shelter for the city.
“The city is keeping in line with what New York City has always been, a sanctuary city, a safe haven, but more importantly, a trendsetter when it comes to LGBTQ rights.”
The opening comes amid a broader homelessness crisis in New York City, where more than 100,000 people are estimated to be without stable housing on any given night.
The city’s shelter system is already stretched thin, with demand rising due to a combination of economic hardship, an influx of illegal aliens ,and a severe shortage of affordable housing.
Who cares about all the other homeless people in New York City each night, the transgender homeless come first.
Truth has become stranger than parody. With any luck, Democrats will continue down this path of self destruction that has been so thoroughly rejected by the American people.

Suspect in Deadly Montana Bar Shooting Captured After a Weeklong Manhunt

A weeklong manhunt has come to a close with the apprehension of Michael Paul Brown, a 45-year-old Army veteran, following a fatal mass shooting at The Owl Bar in Anaconda.
On August 1, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Brown entered The Owl Bar, where he lived next door, and opened fire with a rifle, killing four local residents: bartender Nancy Lauretta Kelley (64) and patrons Daniel Edwin Baillie (59), David Allen Leach (70), and Tony Wayne Palm (74).
A multi-agency effort, including state law enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service, and federal resources, scoured the mountainous terrain surrounding Anaconda. Helicopters, K9 units, and tactical teams were deployed across the region.
A reward of $7,500 to $10,000 was offered for information leading to Brown’s capture.
On Friday, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte confirmed Brown’s arrest via social media, acknowledging the rapid and resolute law enforcement response.
“The Anaconda shooter Michael Brown has been apprehended. Incredible response from law enforcement officers across Montana. Thank you to all partners for your commitment to the search. May God continue to be with the families of the four victims still grieving their loss,” Gianforte.

CNN reported:
Brown had been on the run since the “biggest” shooting in the state of Montana in a decade. He was arrested around 2 p.m. local time Friday near the search area in Anaconda and is now in the custody of Anaconda-Deer Lodge County authorities, according to the Montana Department of Justice.
Brown, an Army veteran, was seen on security footage fleeing The Owl Bar, where the fatal shooting occurred, investigators said. Since then, he had been sought by authorities representing at least 38 local, state and federal agencies traversing challenging terrain in the western Montana wilderness.
“I am proud of the unrelenting law enforcement effort this week to find and arrest Michael Paul Brown. The support we’ve seen for the community of Anaconda from across the state and the nation has also been remarkable,” Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said in a statement following the arrest. “The families and friends of the victims remain in my prayers.”
[…]
Brown served as an armor crewman in the US Army from January 2001 to May 2005 and was deployed to Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005, Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, a spokesperson with the US Army, previously told CNN.
Brown’s niece, Clare Boyle, previously told CNN he struggled with his mental health during his time in the Army and was never the same after his service. Brown’s mental health got progressively worse with the passing of both of his parents, Boyle said.

WATCH: Fire Ravages World-Famous Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba, Spain

Fire breaks out in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Cordoba.
More than a tourist attraction, more than an architectural treasure, the Mosque-Cathedral in the Andalusian city of Cordoba, Spain is a historical monument and a spiritual center – so, all around the world, both the faithful and the history lovers are mourning as a massive fire consumes the building complex.
Newsweek reported:
“Firefighters are responding to the blaze at the major tourist attraction and UNESCO-listed heritage site in Andalusia. Footage shows thick smoke billowing out from the millennia-old building as flames lapped at its roof.
Firefighters from the city of Córdoba are still battling to extinguish the fire at the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba but local reports say the blaze is mostly contained as of 10 p.m. local time. The extent of damage is not yet clear.”

Being simultaneously one of the most significant buildings both in Islamic and in Christian architectural history, it began as a grand mosque in the 8th century and was transformed into a cathedral in 1236.
“The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, officially called the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, was built as a mosque over 200 years starting 785 CE. The mosque opened in 988 CE, and remained a Muslim site for nearly 300 years before the Christian conquest of Cordoba in 1236 CE.
The structure converted to a cathedral, undergoing additional modifications and building until one final, major addition in 1607 CE.”
