WATCH: Bannon’s ‘Victory or Death’ Speech (+ Subtitles & Transcript.)

Stephen K. Bannon spoke at the Turning Point People’s Convention in Detroit this weekend, telling an audience of thousands, “Victory, or death!” as the culmination of a 20-minute long address that touched on the 2020 election, the necessity of MAGA volunteers across the U.S., and the intent of the political establishment to jail President Trump on July 11th.

“Are we at war? Is this a political war to the knife? Are you prepared to leave it all on the battlefield in 2024? There’s no other chance. You realize if they win, if they steal this election, because they can’t win the election, right? No chance they can win it. If they steal this election and they fully intend to steal it, this republic ends,” Bannon said.

AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:

You are the vanguard of a revolution. Do you understand that? Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Do you understand the inspiration that you give to the world, the young people here today? What do you think inspires, what do you think inspires Germany and France and the United Kingdom? The young people in those nations are rising up against their Marxist leaders for freedom and liberty and its Turning Point. And you, that are inspiring them.

Are we at war? Is this a political war to the knife? Are you prepared to leave it all on the battlefield in 2024? There’s no other chance. You realize if they win, if they steal this election, because they can’t win the election, right? No chance they can win it. If they steal this election and they fully intend to steal it, this republic ends. That’s what the burden’s on your shoulders. Look what they’ve done. Look what the Biden regime has done since the scene of the crime right here in this building where they stole the 2020 election. Look what the Biden regime has done.

I don’t need to go through the litany of how they destroyed this country, particularly on the three big things: the invasion, the overspending that destroyed the economy and left inflation, right, the invasion and the forever wars that they refuse to back off. But what they’ve done is something even worse. They turned, they’ve turned the legal system. They’ve turned the legal system, whether it’s bankruptcy, whether it is taking away somebody’s law license, whether it’s debanking. And they have the greatest president this nation’s had since Abraham Lincoln. They’re about to put him, by the way, you know, on the 11 July, they’re going to sentence him for multiple years in prison. You understand that, right? You understand what they’re doing in New York? And then they’re going to limit, they’re going to limit how he can travel, how it’s going to be court supervised.

Why is that? To steal the election. To steal the election. Under no circumstances can they have the Trump, the Trump administration take back over. They can’t have MAGA rule the country. They don’t care about this election. They don’t care how many votes we get. They’re going to fight us every step of the way. Look, it’s between now and November 5 and what Charlie and the team here and you guys go through these workshops and get out the vote and chase the ballots. And voter integrity is everything. But just winning in November is just the first step. Then, from November 5 to the 6th, Jamie Raskin is going to try to steal the election. On January 6. He’s going to. They’re already talking about right now to say President Trump’s an insurrectionist and we will never certify an election of an insurrectionist. Raskin talks about it all the time. That’s why we have to take the House, even by just one seat.

And then, and then, and then starting on high noon on the 20 January, when President Trump takes his hand off the King James Bible. Now, are all you folks going to be there on that day? You better be. We’re gonna have one hell of a party that night, are we not? They haven’t seen a party like that since Andrew Jackson’s crowd showed up taking the drapes out of the White House. I think after Biden, we’re going to have an exorcism. Correct? That afternoon for Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden and Hunter Biden, all in the Biden, they’re a bunch of feral dogs, right? It’s a family of feral dogs. We’re going to have to fumigate in it and have an exorcism.

That’s where the real work starts. The real work’s going to start on the afternoon, the 20th. And the first thing we gotta, we gotta stop the forever wars, particularly in Ukraine. No more money. No more money for Ukraine. Not a penny, not a penny. We’ve got to stop the massive spending and what’s destroyed the economy. We also have to begin to end the Fed and we need to get in back of independent cryptocurrencies. Not a central bank, digital currency, where they’re going to control you. Correct. And most importantly, he’s got to seal the southern border, and we got to start the deportation of 10 to 15 million. That’s the three big things.

But trust me, on the afternoon of the 20th, we’re also going to start the pick and shovel work to take apart the administrative state and to take on its rogue element, the praetorian guard, the deep state. We’re going to run them all out of town. Hey, hey, Merrick Garland. Merrick Garland. Let me give you a heads-up, bro. You’re not going to be able to have your Department of Justice send a memo and say, oh, he should be prosecuted, and then have Department of Justice say, oh, well, I’m not going to prosecute myself, right, for holding back the tapes that we know show the lives of Joe Biden, the treason of Joe Biden, and how enfeebled he is. After that. It’s not the tapes we’re coming after. Lisa Monaco, Merrick Garland, the senior members of DOJ that have prosecuted President Trump.

Jack Smith, and this is not about vengeance. This is not about revenge. This is not about retribution. This is about saving this republic. We’re going to use the Constitution. We’re going to use the Constitution. We’re going to use the constitution in the rule of law to go after you and hold you accountable. November 5 is Judgment Day. January 20, 2025, is accountability day. You’re going to have a man up here tonight at 06:00 the 06:00 this evening or thereabouts. You know, President Trump’s schedule, having been to a Turning Point conference before. And President Trump is coming here both to give a speech, a rally speech, and also to give Q and A. That’s how highly he thinks of Charlie Kirk and you guys. President Trump, when he takes this stand tonight, is now eligible for 700 years in prison. They want him to serve all of it. They bankrupted him. They smeared his name. And on July 11, they’re going to start by giving him a several-year prison sentence and have Judge Merchan be the custodian of where he can go and how he campaigned in Direct election interference.

Let me tell the people that have done that to President Trump, whether you’re in the federal government or whether you’re down in the state of Georgia or you’re in Arizona or you’re initially, we are going to go and we’re going to get every single receipt into the fullest extension of the law. You are going to be investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated. Okay? We are not going to stop. This has nothing to do with retribution, has nothing to do with revenge because retribution, revenge might be another order of magnitude. This has to do with justice. We’ve got to go back to the beginning. We’ve got to go back to Russiagate. We’ve got to go back to who did that. We’ve got to go back to Mueller’s commission. We got to go back to Andrew Weissman and MSNBC and the New York Times and all of it, right? They stole it. We got to go back there. We’ve got to go back, we got to go back to the pandemic. We have to go back to the George Floyd Summer of love. We have to investigate it all. We have to go back, we have to go back to the 3 November of 2020. We must go back and we’ve got to adjudicate how they stole it and who stole it. We have to go to January 6 and we have to find out every FBI agent or the CIA, DHS, Chris Wray, all of them. The Fedsurrection must be investigated.

The afternoon of January 20, we must free the 1400 patriots and must incarcerate the criminals. Every patriot and Patriot grave, from the revolution to the civil war to Normandy. Now, this 80th anniversary of Saipan, which is big as Normandy, every patriot that died on a battlefield demands it of us. They demand it. They say, we bequeath. We gave all to give you this republic. And look what you allowed to happen. Well, guess what? It stops on the afternoon of the 20 January, 2025. Because then, then the criminals in this government, the criminals on Wall street, the criminals in Silicon Valley, that’s when it’s going to start. That’s when accountability day starts. And we must go there.

MSNBC and the Biden-Harris campaign, they’re clipping this right now. Look at this. This is all they’re talking about. This is not all we’re talking about. President Trump’s talking about peace and prosperity, just like he gave us for three and a half years before the Chinese Communist Party Him with a bioweapon. He’s talking about ending the war in Ukraine, he’s talking about ending the war in the Middle East. He’s talking about backing down China from Taiwan. He wants peace. And only a strong man can give us peace. Only a leader can give us peace. We’ve seen what a feckless, hapless old man can do. President Trump is going to get the tax cuts back, have a growth plan, and stop the massive federal spending. And most important, he’s going to seal the border and deport not just the criminals, not just the sick. He’s going to deport every single illegal alien that came here on Joe Biden’s watch, and you’re going back home. But that leaves plenty of time to set things right.

And that’s where you come in. You’re the vanguard of this revolution. We are not prepared to be governed by criminals and we are going to purge DOJ. We’re going to take apart the FBI, the FBI, the American Gestapo. That building on Pennsylvania Avenue. We don’t need $400 million for a new headquarters. You’re not going to need a headquarters. You’re not going to be in the FBI. We’re going to get everybody out of that building. We’re going to take it down ugly slab by ugly slab is the ugliest building on Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to do what the Romans did to Carthage. We’re going to salt the earth around it so there’ll never be another building there again in mainstream media. Don’t sit there. Go. They want to get rid of the FBI. They’re doing such great work on terrorism. They’re doing such great work on this and that. Yeah, they did great work on terrorism. 9/11, great work. You haven’t gotten anything right. And the CIA hadn’t got anything right in 50 years because you’re spending all your time going after Catholics, pray, praying rosaries at abortion centers. You’re going after moms and dads, going to school boards. You’re an American Gestapo. And it’s going to end on our watch.

And we’re going to rebuild something else. There’ll be something that comes up and is rebuilt along the lines that’s appropriate. Not a federal police force. Not a federal police force that’s in citizens business. Not a federal police force that with jackboots kicking down doors and arresting innocent people, you’re going to be put on a short leash. Like the CIA is going to be on a short lease. The DOJ is going to be in a short leash. It’s going to be a new day. And Maga will run things. The globalist elite, uniparty will not run things in this country. Now, here’s the whole reason I came here today is about President Trump and the team around President Trump, whether it’s Roger Stone or Rudy Giuliani or John Eastman or, you know, Alex Jones, Alex Jones, every person that has defended President Trump, whether they’re a lawyer, whether they’re a media person, Tucker Carlson, they’re trying to, they’re trying to debank people, they’re trying to de-platform people. They’re trying to take their law license away and scare lawyers from defending people. They’re turning people into political prisoners and sending people to prison. And they will send every one of you in this audience to prison also. That’s why they’re coming for Trump.

But the concept, the concept that you have to embed, whether it’s President Trump or Tucker Carlson or Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, James O’Keefe, whoever, we’re just the first wave. We’re like the first wave of the Normandy beaches. You’re the second, the third, the fourth. It’s next man up and next woman up. The only way we lose is if we quit. They know that this, this movement is ascendant. We are two-thirds of the nation, maybe 75% of the nation. We just have to get the word out to them. And that’s you. And when anybody falls, when everybody’s taken off, whether they’re put in jail, whether they’re bankrupt, whether they are, they’re de-platformed de banked. They lost their law license. You must step into the breach. Nobody else. Check yourself. You, if you commit to that, if your task and purpose is saving your country, this country will be saved.

Understand, you’re exactly like the patriots in 1774 and 1775. You’re fighting a tyranny, and you’re fighting monopolistic economic power. They, they only had, like, 3% at the beginning, then 5%, then 10%, but they never had more than a third. We have over half the nation right now. Biden didn’t get 81 million votes. The 74 million votes that were won in a landslide, they hadn’t stolen it. You know that, I know that, and they know that. The only thing that defeats us is if we stop. If we don’t stop, we grow more powerful and larger every single day. And when on November 5, when you send a message, when you send a message to Davos and Brussels in Geneva and Wall Street and Silicon Valley and Beverly Hills, they’re going to know that Maga is not only ascended, Maga is in charge.

Between now and election day, they’re going to try to take out so many people. And that’s where it’s next man up. It’s next woman up. Are you prepared to fight? Are you prepared to give it all? Are you prepared to leave it all on the battlefield? I can’t hear you. And they can’t hear you. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s very simple. Victory or death.

Michael Cohen is Planning a Run for Congress… Seriously.

Former Trump lawyer and perennial grifter Michael Cohen claims he’s going to run for Congress in 2026. Specifically, Cohen is targeting New York’s 12th Congressional district, currently occupied by the porcine Jerry Nadler (D), who responded churlishly when quizzed about Cohen’s plan.

“We thank him for his service, but it’s enough already,” Cohen told New York Magazine‘s Olivia Nuzzi and Andrew Rice. The authors claim Cohen “would have run this year, but the protracted mental breakdown that came with the trial made it hard to plan the launch of a new career as a politician.”

Still, the news has rankled Nadler, who told POLITICO on Saturday morning: “What a great country America is… Anyone can run for Congress — even con men.”

Despite being lauded by Democrats during the Trump trial, Cohen looks like he’ll face significant opposition for his aspirant political career. In reality, Cohen has no real friends and no real allies, having simply been used as a tool for most of his legal career. He was even refused “surrogate” status by the Trump campaign in 2016, when he was at the height of his influence.

Still, the disgraced, perjury-happy lawyer has made millions from his podcasts and media appearances discussing Donald Trump, and appears to have the backing of the increasingly influential Meidas Touch Network – a far-left blog run by Epstein and Diddy-linked brothers who have recently been granted exclusive access by Joe Biden’s White House.

SCOTUS Clears Way For Expanded Access To Abortion Pill—For Now.

The U.S. Supreme Court is allowing, for now, several Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations that would loosen restrictions on—and expand access to—the abortion drug mifepristone to take effect. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing the majority opinion in the nine to zero decision, held that the plaintiffs—the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM)—lack Article III standing to challenge the FDA order.

“Under Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff’s desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue. Nor do the plaintiffs’ other standing theories suffice,” the conservative justice wrote. He added, “…federal courts are the wrong forum for addressing the plaintiffs’ concerns about FDA‘s actions.”

“The plaintiffs have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to elective abortion and to FDA’s relaxed regulation of mifepristone,” Kavanaugh continued before concluding in the opinion: “But under Article III of the Constitution, those kinds of objections alone do not establish a justiciable case or controversy in federal court.” Justice Kavanaugh, in the opinion, encouraged the plaintiffs to instead engage Congress, the President, and the FDA in addressing their desired changes through the legislative and regulatory review process.

Despite the decision, the Supreme Court did not fully close the door to future challenges to the FDA‘s mifepristone policies. The justices stressed that the standing issue came down to the fact that no plaintiffs were prescribed mifepristone nor suffered legal injury from the regulatory decision. A future case brought by a plaintiff with Article III standing could potentially result in the Court reversing the FDA’s decision.

BREAKING: Biden’s Ghostwriter Admits Deleting Evidence BECAUSE of Special Counsel Investigation.

Joe Biden‘s ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, admitted early last year to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that he deleted numerous audio records of interviews with the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent in part because of the special counsel investigation. At the time, Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur was investigating whether Biden had mishandled and illegally retained classified documents after leaving the vice presidency. It is alleged some of these classified documents were shared, in a breach of national security, with Zwonitzer.

According to the transcript of Zwonitzer’s interview with the FBI, the investigating agents asked him if ” the fact that a special counsel had been appointed and you had all these recordings was in your mind when you slid these documents over into the trash…” Zwonitzer, who acknowledged deleting several years’ worth of audio records of interviews with Biden, at first tried to deflect—merely stating he “was aware of the special counsel investigation when that happened.”

“The outside observer is going to look at this and say ‘Mark Zwonitzer, President Biden‘s friend, ghostwriter, collaborator learned of the special counsel’s investigation, saw this happening and then deleted all these audio recordings,'” the agent told  Zwonitzer before pressing him again on the circumstances of the audio file deletions: “I just need the truth on this one, but there’s some truth in that, that was what was going on. That was part of your motivation, at least something you were aware of when you did this?”

Zwonitzer tacitly acknowledged the investigation did influence his actions to some degree, though he refused to say to what extent. “I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” the Biden ghostwriter said. Special counsel Robert Hur considered but ultimately declined to charge Zwonitzer with obstruction of justice.

Biden’s AG Merrick Garland Held in Contempt of Congress, Argues ‘Executive Privilege.’

On Wednesday afternoon, the House of Representatives voted 216 to 207 along party lines to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress over his refusal to provide the audio from President Joe Biden‘s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The interview was part of the investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents.

Earlier on Wednesday, a vote to adopt a rule for the consideration of the contempt motion passed narrowly by 208-207 along party lines. Garland has previously stated that he would not release the audio from Biden’s interview, arguing that doing so would hinder future cooperation with the Department of Justice.

Garland has mentioned in his previous testimony before the House that his department has gone to “extraordinary lengths” to respond to the committee’s requests for information. He noted that Hur’s report and transcripts of the interview have already been provided. Hur also testified before Congress for “more than five hours,” according to Garland.

Despite these efforts, Garland has firmly maintained that the actual audio recordings from which the transcripts were created will not be made available.

“Releasing the audio would chill cooperation with the department in future investigations and it could influence witnesses’ answers if they thought the audio of their law enforcement interviews would be broadcast to Congress and the public,” Garland explained.

Garland, in the meantime, has utilized the resources of his own Department of Justice to plead his innocence, with an internal memo sent to media publications stating:

“For nearly seven decades and across presidential administrations of both parties, the Executive Branch has taken the position that the criminal contempt of Congress statute… does not apply to Executive Branch officials who do not comply with a congressional subpoena based on a presidential assertion of executive privilege.”

This precedent, however, was not extended to Dr. Peter Navarro nor Stephen K. Bannon, both sentenced to jail time due to a congressional contempt charge made by the hyper-partisan January 6th committee which both fabricated information and mass deleted evidence.

Capitol Fire Alarm Hoaxster Jamaal Bowman Losing BIG in Primary.

New York Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman, who disrupted a congressional vote by pulling a Capitol Hill fire alarm, is significantly behind his opponent in the upcoming primary. Democratic opponent George Latimer appears to have a strong lead heading into the June 25 primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District.

The latest poll, conducted by Emerson College Polling in collaboration with PIX11 and The Hill, indicates that Latimer is 17 points ahead. In this poll, Latimer has the support of 48 percent of likely voters, while Bowman is on 31 percent, with 21 percent undecided.

Latimer has voiced strong support for Israel, in contrast to Bowman, who has faced criticism for previously characterizing Israel as an “apartheid” state—a statement he later retracted. Earlier this year, he attended a fundraiser co-hosted by Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), who said he was “happy to see” the October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel.

Polling data reveals that 45 percent of voters agree with Latimer’s position on Israel, while 29 percent support Bowman’s stance. Fifty percent of Democratic primary voters believe the U.S. is overspending on aid to Israel, and 46 percent think the Joe Biden regime is not giving the Palestinians enough humanitarian relief.

The fire alarm incident has damaged Bowman’s standing. He initially claimed he had mistaken the fire alarm for a door handle but later admitted this was a lie, pleading guilty to an offense in exchange for a light punishment.

January 6 protestors have received years in prison for obstructing “official proceedings” in Congress.

Latimer leads by 42 points among white voters, while Bowman, who is black, has a 14-point lead among black voters. Hispanic voters are more evenly split.

Radical Democrat Judge Overturns Law Banning Child Sex Changes.

A federal judge has invalidated a Florida statute that prohibited minors from receiving puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones for gender-transition purposes, provided a parent consents to the treatment. Senior U.S. District Court Judge Robert Hinkle delivered the ruling on Tuesday, indicating that the law constituted discrimination akin to that faced by minorities and women.

Judge Hinkle’s decision spans over 100 pages, including a citation of Martin Luther King Jr. He likened the struggle for transgender rights to battles against racism and misogyny. “Some transgender opponents invoke religion to support their position, just as some once invoked religion to support their racism or misogyny,” Hinkle remarked. “Transgender opponents are, of course, free to hold their beliefs. But they are not free to discriminate against transgender individuals just for being transgender. In time, discrimination against transgender individuals will diminish, just as racism and misogyny have diminished. To paraphrase a civil-rights advocate from an earlier time, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) criticized the ruling, stating, “Through their elected representatives, the people of Florida acted to protect children in this state, and the Court was wrong to override their wishes.” He continued, “As we’ve seen here in Florida, the United Kingdom, and across Europe, there is no quality evidence to support the chemical and physical mutilation of children. These procedures do permanent, life-altering damage to children, and history will look back on this fad in horror.”

The ruling is not Judge Hinkle’s first radical decision. Nearly a year before the U.S. Supreme Court‘s Obergefell v. Hodges decision, Hinkle overturned Florida‘s statutory and constitutional bans on same-sex marriage, declaring they violated the federal constitution. In addition, Hinkle made a key ruling in the expansion of felon voting rights in the state.

Appearing with Biden Didn’t Just Cool Macron’s Popularity, It ‘Put a Hex on It.’

Joe Biden acted not just as a popularity “cooler” by appearing alongside Emmanuel Macron during the D-Day anniversary in Normandy, France, but as a kind of “hex,” according to Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse.

Discussing Macron’s disastrous performance against Marine Le Pen’s populist National Rally in the European Parliament elections with War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, Kassam stressed that Biden does not enjoy the undeserved “rock star” status of his former boss, Barack Obama, in Europe.

“There was definitely a different vibe when Obama used to go over there, and there was definitely a different way in which it translated to popularity,” Kassam recalled.

He explained that leaders across Europe, whether the notionally right-wing then-Prime Minister David Cameron in Britain or some of the more socialistic leaders on the Continent, were eager to be seen “cavorting with the ostensible leader of the free world.”

Biden, on the other hand, in Kassam’s estimation, does not just cool European leaders’ popularity but “puts a hex on it, quite frankly.”

“His very presence has probably done nothing net positive to any of these leaders he meets, with Macron included,” he added.

Fox News Board Member Paul Ryan Insists: ‘I’m an Anti-Establishment Republican.’

Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan has bemoaned being labeled a “Republican In Name Only” (RINO) in an interview on Fox News, where he is now a board member. Ryan, 54, called himself “an anti-establishment Republican” during an appearance with the network’s Neil Cavuto, wherein he blasted former President Trump as “unfit for office.”

During the conversation, Ryan claimed neoconservative Nikki Haley would “win this thing by 12 points” and explained that he would be writing in his candidate for president, effectively telling Fox News viewers to throw the election for Joe Biden.

Look, I got death, taxes, and weird stuff from Donald Trump. These are the three certainties in my life, so to me, it’s just another day in my life,” Ryan seethed. “Fealty to Trump is what RINO is. Meaning, if you don’t pledge fealty to this man, then you are a RINO,” he claimed.

Ryan went on to complain Trump is a “populist” and “not a conservative.”

“I would prefer a party that is based on principles, not personality or populism. This populism is untethered to principles, and that’s why, you know, I’m an anti-establishment Republican,” Ryan claimed, also describing himself as a “classical liberal” and “free market conservative.”

Neil Cavuto tells Paul Ryan he has a “great future” in politics if he wants back in.

Democrats Are Now STALKING Supreme Court Justices (In Their Own Words!)

Far-left activist Lauren Windsor posed as a Catholic conservative to secretly record Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife at a gala in Washington, D.C., last week.

During the conversation, Alito – who has been the target of the far-left for weeks since their failed attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas – expressed doubts about the possibility of compromise between the political left and right in America.

“There can be a way of working, a way of living together peacefully, but it’s difficult, you know, because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised,” Alito said in the secret recording handed to Rolling Stone magazine. He implied that compromise on significant ideological issues may be unattainable given heightened political rhetoric among lawmakers and voters.

“People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that, to return our country to a place of godliness,” Windsor, posing as a conservative, asserted.

“I agree with you, I agree with you,” Alito responded. Democrat lawmakers and their corporate media allies jumped on Alito‘s comments as evidence that he is incapable of being impartial as a Supreme Court justice. However, in context, his remarks reveal little beyond the fact that Alito is a devout Catholic guided by his Christian moral framework—like many Americans. These interactions were captured in edited recordings and subsequently posted on social media on Monday.

Windsor defended her tactics by claiming, “I understand there’s a certain level of decorum around the Supreme Court… But this country right now is at a crossroads… Are we going to continue secular democracy, or are we going to be led to Christian theocracy by this Supreme Court?”

MRS. ALITO’S FLAGS.

Justice Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann Alito, also came under fire from Democrats over her comments captured on Windsor’s secret recordings. Far-left activists attempt to gin up outrage over Mrs. Alito’s remarks regarding a neighbor’s Pride flag. “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month,” Justice Alito’s wife remarked in a conversation with Windsor. She added that she’d floated the idea with her husband, Justice Samuel Alito, to which he responded: “Oh, please, don’t put up a flag.”

The Alitos have been repeatedly smeared in the media over their choice of flag displays. Democrat and progressive activists have pushed for Alito’s recusal, and even removal from the Supreme Court, after The New York Times reported that his wife had flown an upside-down American flag shortly before Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021.

The newspaper followed up by reporting that the Alito family had also flown an “Appeal to Heaven” revolutionary war flag outside their New Jersey beach house.
